The voodoo effect and the power of beliefs
ByOne of the major concepts that the masses have not grasped yet about our existence is how powerful we are as human being. That power is directly affected from the understanding that we create our reality. When I am talking to people about this concept often times they will bring up an event that a mass of individuals was victim too. The next question would be why would anyone want to create such a horrific life for themselves? That question used to really stump me until I learned that as a soul we choose events that will occur in our life on earth. The events are to give the physical manifestation of our true self (the soul) an opportunity to rise above its condition. We always have the free will to grow stronger through that condition or to succumb to it and wallow in self pity and helplessness. Through our struggles we have an opportunity to transcend our physical state at anytime and rise above that condition. Once we learn as a society that we create the conditions we can then know we have the ability at anytime to change the condition. You are not a victim. U Create ALL.
Power of the mind on health
One of the areas that many of us battle with is in the area of health. The vast majority of us subscribe to the belief that any sickness that occurs in our body is simply the luck of the draw and we have absolutely no control over the sickness and the body is faulty. In other words, it’s in our genes. This is very evident because most of us will go to a medicine cabinet at the first sign of a cough or sneeze. The medical establishment for years have believed and taught us that genes control our health and many aspects of or physical body. Dr Bruce Lipton a well renowned microbiologist states, “This belief system has been found to be WRONG!” The reality of the situation is we have control over the healing of the physical body. There is a new paradigm in medicine called epi genetic control; or above the gene. The belief here is that we control how genes turn on and off by our mentality and environment. In other words our BELIEFS affect the genes that affect the physical body. If you read my previous article about biocentrism as a new science you may notice a pattern that the new sciences are heading toward. That pattern is the power the mind (consciousness) has in our physical world.
Witch doctors understand the power of the mind
An example of how strong of an effect our mind has on us is in cultures that believe in voodoo or witch doctors. A witch doctor can put a curse on a person and because of belief the individual that has been cursed will be affected! There has been documented evidence of people actually succumbing to illness due to witch doctors and dying. There was no physical reason for the death! This is a prime example of how much power the mind can wiled over the human body. It is all about the belief system of those people.
A witch doctor can put a curse on you and me and we would probably just laugh and go on about our business. But we don’t believe in what seems to be non-sense from our perspective. We are entirely too rational for something as bizarre as a witch doctor. For the people that believe, the witch doctor and that curse is real. This can be explained and rationalized from a biocentric understanding of our existence. Our consciousness creates our perspective and our world. Thought/belief is cause.
Western medicine practices voodoo
I know the belief in a witch doctor is crazy! How could any civilized rational human being think that by just speaking a few simple words and maybe throwing some powder in your face a person can die? Absolutely ludicrous! What if the doctor wore a white coat, had note pad in a big hospital and is very respected in his field? What if that doctor came back with x-rays of your body, shaking his head and then says to you, I have bad news you only have six months to live. What if in six months you died and they do an autopsy and discover that the sickness that they thought you had was not nearly as developed as the original diagnosis? In other words they made a mistake! The Illness was not even progressed enough to kill you! The doctors figured out you died because you THOUGHT you were supposed to die in 6 months! This was an actual documented case according to Clifton Meador of Vanderbilt School of Medicine at Newscientist.com.
This case had the same ear mark of a Voodoo curse! This time it was not a witch doctor. It was a medical doctor this person believed knew what he was talking about! How many times has this been repeated across the world?
“It seems modern which doctors wear white coats and carry stethoscopes.” Newscientist.com
Doctors are now aware that what they say to a patient can have an effect on the outcome of their illness. They do have some understanding that the mind can have some effect on the patients’ recovery. However, many of them still do not understand that the mind can heal. There have been thousands of documented cases to the power of the mind to heal people when they had no other hope.
But in traditional western medicine many doubts still exist. Or maybe they don’t doubt, its simply a conflict of interest. I believe a lot of the doubts have to do with the pharmaceutical companies and media pushing pills they make billions of dollars from yearly. The pharmaceutical companies do not make money from finding cures. Doctors and the public unfortunately get educated and indoctrinated by mass media. But, I digress.
Medicine of the future will lead with the mind
What is evident now and building in the future is there are sciences moving towards a view that the mind and/or consciousness is a major player in how we view and shape our world. When it comes to healing our bodies this is nothing new. I stated in a previous article titled Jesus Did Not Heal the Sick, which he said to the people that were healed; “because of your belief you are healed.” It was not an attempt to disparage Jesus but to have people understand that he knew then we could heal our physical bodies. He did not heal them, their beliefs did! I put a video of a lady and her doctors that spontaneously removed a tumor from her body on camera! It’s an incredible video! We are incredible! We create our world from our beliefs. Thought/belief is cause in this reality. More and more people are coming to that realization. Doctors know more about how the mind can heal more than they are telling us. The witch doctor definitely understands the power of the mind!
One of the doctors that are spreading the word on the new paradigm is Dr. Bruce Lipton. He has done some incredible research! He understands that our physical body in part of a unit that is in unison with our soul. I have included a short video of his and the explanation about his New Biology of Beliefs. We all must start to understand that we are souls having a human experience. We are endowed with the ability of the creator to create in this plane of existence any world we desire. We are such powerful beings! When you believe it then you are. You have to be brave and step out of the limited box. We have to stop allowing fear to dictate our beliefs. Know that you alone can change anything you want. You just have to believe.
Are you a brave soul?

Reginald, it is crucial that people realize how powerful our minds are, and how our belief system determines our health, or the outcome of any situation. I find your witch doctor association quite powerful, and perfect to convey the message of what happens when our beliefs have a grip on us, and we become prey to the power of influence. Empowering ourselves means being able to select which beliefs are worth believing… Great post!

Thank you Palma. I thought was important to convey that beliefs are powerful no matter what they are or who you might believe. A witchdoctor is extreme, but it is not different than how be believe in medical doctors.

Hi Sudeep, thank you for stopping by hope to see you again. You are so right about the ancients. they understood the mind and how it worked with the body. Western medicine and science has tried to separate the two. We have to view our existence from a holistic point of view, that being mind, body and soul as a unit.

First of all, a practioner of Vodoun would find the term “witch doctor” insulting. A Vodoun spiritual leader is either a priest or “houngan” or a priestess “mambo”.
Please get your terms right.

Thank you for letting me know that Rosie. I didn’t know any vodoun personally. can’t say I have ever heard the term vodoun before. My intention was not to offend anyone but to show the power that a hougan or mambo does understand the power of the mind. Your request for me to get my terms right is duly noted. Chalk it up to a lack of education, not my heart.

Just to play the game of throwing coal over the fire… a true spiritual leader, vodoun or otherwise, will not feel insulted for not being called with the proper terms. I’d think they maintain their peace of mind, regardless. Instead of being picky over a word, they would get the overall message being conveyed…
