Hi friends, as you know, Seth is not shy about taking on the medical establishment. Heres one of his most provocative comments—and a heads-up for each of us: A modern Western physician—granted, with the greatest discomfiture—will inform his patient that he is about to die, impressing upon him that his situation is hopeless, and yet will react with scorn and loathing when he reads that a voodoo practitioner has put a curse upon some innocent victim. “In your time, medical men, again with great superiority, look at primitive cultures and harshly judge the villagers they think are held in the sway of witch doctors or voodooism; and yet through advertisement and organization, YOUR doctors impress upon each individual in your culture that you must have a physical examination every six months or you will get cancer; that you must have medical insurance because you WILL become ill. “In many instances, therefore, modern physicians are inadequate witch doctors who have forgotten their craft—hypnotists who no longer believe in the power of healing, and whose suggestions bring about other diseases that are diagnosed in advance. “You are told what to look for; you are as cursed—far more—as any native in a tiny village, only you lose breasts, appendixes, and other portions of your anatomy. The doctors follow their own ideas, of course, and in that system they see themselves as completely justified—as humane. “In the medical field, as in no other, you are faced directly with the full impact of your beliefs, for doctors are not the healthiest, but the least healthy. They fall prey to the beliefs to which they so heartily subscribe. Their concentration is upon disease, not health.” The Nature of Personal Reality, Session 659 (originally underlined words in caps)
