man not only lies to others； he lies to himself too。
he creates new diseases as well。
for example； if a man has suffered heavily in business and is on the verge of bankruptcy； he may not want to accept that he is bankrupt and so he is afraid to go into the marketplace； he knows he will have to face his creditors。
all of a sudden he finds he has been overpowered by an illness that has made him bedridden。
this is an illness created by his mind。
it has a double advantage。
now he can tell others his illness prevents him from attending to his business …… he has already convinced himself about this and now he can convince others as well …… and now this illness is incurable。
in the first place； it is not an illness at all； and the more treatment he is given； the sicker he will bee。
if medicine fails to cure you； know well your illness is not curable through medication …… the cause of the illness lies somewhere else； it has nothing to do with medication。
you may curse the medicine and call the doctors stupid for not finding the right treatment for you； you may try ayurvedic medicine or naturopathic treatment； you may turn to allopathy or homeopathy …… nothing will work。
no doctor can be of any use to you； simply because a doctor can only treat an authentic illness …… he has no control over something pseudo。
and the interesting thing is that you keep busy creating illnesses like that； and you want them to remain。
more than fifty percent of female sicknesses are false。
women have learned a formula from childhood： they get love only when they are sick； otherwise not。
whenever the wife is ill； the husband takes time off work； pulls up a chair and sits by her bedside。
he may curse himself for doing so； but he does it。
so whenever a woman wants attention from her man； she promptly falls ill。
thats why we find women sick almost all the time。
they know that by being ill they can hold sway over the entire household。
an ill person bees a dictator； a tyrant。
if the person says； 〃turn off the radio！〃 it is immediately turned off。
if the person says； 〃put off the lights and go to sleep；〃 or 〃everyone stays home； no one is to go out；〃 the members of the household do as he says。
the more there is a dictatorial tendency in a person； the more he will get sick …… because who wants to hurt the feelings of someone ill？ but this is dangerous。
this way； we actually contribute to his sickness。
it is good if a husband sits beside his wife when she is well； it is understandable。
but absolutely he should not stop going to the office when she is sick and thus contribute to her sickness。
it is too costly a bargain。
a mother should not pay too much attention when her child gets sick； otherwise； whenever the child wants attention； he will fall ill。
when a child gets ill； be less worried about him so that no association between illness and love bees established in his mind。
the child should not get the impression that whenever he is ill the mother will pat his head and tell him stories。
instead； the mother should pamper the child when he is happy； so that love bees associated with joy and happiness。
we have associated love with misery； and that is very dangerous because it means that whenever one needs love； he will invite misery so love can follow。
and so whosoever longs for love will fall sick； because he knows sickness brings love。
but love is never to be found through sickness。
remember； illness brings pity； not love； and to be an object of pity is insulting； very degrading。
love is a totally different thing。
but we have no awareness of love。
what i am saying is that the body follows our suggestions …… if we want to be ill； the poor body gets ill。
hypnosis is useful in curing such illnesses。
what this means is that for a fake illness； fake medicine will work …… not real medicine。
if we can make ourselves believe we are ill； we can also make ourselves believe we are not ill and rid ourselves of the illness。
to this end； hypnosis is of great value。
today； there is hardly a hospital in a developed country without a hypnotist on its staff。
in the west； the physician is acpanied by the hypnotist； because there are a number of illnesses for which a doctor is totally useless； for which only a hypnotist is of use。
he puts the patient under hypnosis and then gives suggestions that he is feeling well。
do you know that only three percent of all snakes are poisonous？ but generally； a man dies even from the bite of a non…poisonous snake if he believes a snake bite can kill a man。
this is the reason why mantras and exorcism are also able to work on a snake bite。
mantra chanting and exorcism are in other words pseudo…techniques。
a man is bitten by a poisonous snake。
all that is needed now is to convince him that the poison of the snake has been nullified。
this will be enough： the poison will not now have any effect。
it is as though the poison was never there。
and if he were to be fully convinced that a snake had actually bitten him； he would die。
he would die not because of the snake bite； but because of the belief that a snake had bitten him。
i have heard
once it happened that a man stayed overnight in an inn。
he ate dinner at night and left early the next morning。
a year later he returned to the same inn。
the innkeeper was shocked to see him。
〃are you all right？〃 he asked the traveler。
〃i am all right。
why； whats the matter？〃
〃we were quite frightened；〃 said the innkeeper。
〃you see； the last night you stayed here； a snake fell into the pot and was cooked with the food served to you。
four other people who ate the food died soon after。
we couldnt figure out what happened to you because you left quite early。
we were so worried about you。
〃
when the traveler heard this； he said； 〃what？ a snake in my food？〃 and dropped dead。
a year later！ he died of fear。
for such ailments； hypnosis is very useful。
hypnosis only means that the falsehood we have created around ourselves can be neutralized by another falsehood。
remember； if an imaginary thorn has pricked your foot；
