I think Ernest Holmes had a good description in Chapter 7 of The Philosophy Of Jesus.

He talks about in chapter 7 that doctors, psychiatrist, therapist all do not heal you, they help you recover by helping your body to heal it self. In other words they assist the body to get back to its original divine blue print. To return the train back to the tracks so the body can heal of its own accord.

To recognize this and understand this is to see that, God the Father is at our center, this infinite being of health, life, and happiness is right inside of each and every one of us. Jesus recognized this in everyone he healed he called their true nature forth and they were cured. Our true nature is that center, our source, God, that is where the healing comes from because that is where the design of each of us originated.

Until we can know in full faith this is so, we need these physicians to help us get back to where we once belonged.

We need doctors, because we humans have a physical body, and it is a known fact that our body goes through wear, and tear, and illness. We can believe whatever we choose to believe in terms of why we need to go to the doctor, but in reality, if you are sick, naturally, you will need to go to your family doctor to get help. Anything else is beyond my reasoning.

The physical body is made up of skin, flesh, bones etc, and if you cut your finger by an accident it will bleed. So, what do we do, just stand there and let our finger bleed, and bleed, because we created the bleeding finger. Or would it make more sense to try to stop the bleeding, and go to the doctor, if necessary

Has Abraham-Hicks ever been sick, and did he ever had the cause to see a doctor? But most important does he have a family doctor, because to the best of my knowledge most humans have family doctors to treat, and care for them. Also, what do you think would happen to the sick in our world, if there were no doctors to treat their illness? And last but not least, why would anyone want to create sickness to them self?

Personally, I do like going to the doctor, and I do not like getting sick, but if I do get sick and I need to see a doctor, naturally I will see a doctor. The fact is sickness is a part of being human, and the doctors are trained professionals to treat, and care for the sick. So we should try not to delude ourselves otherwise. We are human with a physical body that is susceptible to all kinds’ of diseases that is sometimes beyond our control, and we will sometimes need treatment from doctors.

Is he Abraham-Hicks a healer, and can he heal himself? Is he physically healthy all the time? If so, then he is blessed with the secret of good health, a wish we can all strive to aspire to.

I do think all disease is psychosomatic - even the name itself suggests so ( dis-ease, not at ease ).

However I don't think that we are conscious enough as a species to totally do away with the medical profession. We are only beginning to wake up to the fact that we created the diseases on our planet and within our bodies and until enough of humanity realize this, then there will be a need and a desire for the medical profession. Each of us has an intelligence within our bodies that, if left alone by the human mind, can operate our physical body so that it runs at an optimal level - you can call this intelligence God, Source, Universe, Oneness or whatever other human label you like to use.

Until the majority, and not the minority, realizes that the root of every illness or disease is mental and makes the decision to work at overcoming this mental problem ( by spiritual practice ) then we will always have diseases and the need for a medical profession.

The medical profession are fulfilling a role on our planet ,right now, that we as a species asked for but even some conventional medical practitioners ( Dr Ben Johnson and Dr OZ to name just a couple of the more famous ones ), are beginning to wake up to the fact that energy plays a huge role in our well being and alternative medicine is also a growing industry.

We do get sick because of the praticed negative emotions we hold.

Originally doctors would have come about because of the desire of sick people to get well. That was the means through which they attracted their wellness as there was no such belief that they could just change their dominant vibration to a good feeling place by changing their thoughts and get well without any other action being taken. But I am in agreement with Stingray that this is not a bad thing. Your well being comes to you in whatever way you attract it.

So, my point is the means through which well being comes to you in life is not key. It is the well being itself that should be our focus.

We do create our own illness. We need doctors to baby us and make us feel better about "our illness." For the sceptics please look up in an unabridged, complete dictionary the meaning of the word doctor (the noun as well as the verb.) The offer is to "treat" and not "heal", that's why "patients" keep going back patiently for all sorts of different problems...........

Stay balanced,stay healthy, namaste

in a material focused society, we are preoccupied with form and keeping it beautiful (glamour); in building and maintaining a belief system havivg us as victims in need of experts, Maybe; we are more complex, composed of more than a single plane/aspect.
learning that proper thought can control/direct energy.
if we think we can't... we most likely can't; if we begin to take responsibility for our thinkig/exploring about what is going on, we start to become active participants in our growth.

Didn't source put us in this physical world where sickness is part of the deal of being here?

Germs are all around us all the time. Why do they make one person sick and not another? Our immune systems protect us from invading germs. When we get emotional stresses, it weakens our immune systems so that we don't efficiently eliminate the germs, they end up getting us sick. So in that sense, diseases from germs are brought on by our emotions. Ulcers, headaches, pain, etc... are directly caused by stress. Even the ulcers that are caused by the Heliobactor pylori, are caused by stress. The bacteria is in most people's guts, but it causes ulcers, when stress is also high. Stress manifests in different pains and ailments. EFT helps eliminate the stress and emotions that cause the pain and ailments. However, as long as we live on this earth, there will be stress, so it is an ongoing battle that must be overcome every time or the pain and ailment show up. In the meantime pain meds, antibiotics and other medicines can be helpful when we are in pain and dis eased. Broken bones need to be reset by a dr. although EFT can help with the issues around it, help with the pain and maybe even heal faster. Also, there are people that for various reasons just wont accept that their emotions are causing the pain or dis ease or they would rather take a pill.

We are a three part being - body, mind & soul. We manifest our reality at all 3 levels.

Sickness manifests at the level of the body (bad food habits, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, etc), mind (worry, fear, pessimism, etc) and the soul (karma).

Health too manifests at the level of the body (exercise, good food habits, medicines), mind (laughter, peace of mind, faith, LOA) and the soul (transcending karma through meditation etc)

So IMHO, doctors & medicines is one of the many means of creating health at the physical level.

Some sickness is self created by improper stress management but most is not. I'm growing more concern for the belief we live in a victimless world where we have somehow chosen all things that happen to us. Injury is a form of sickness. Do all the victims of catastrophe "ask" for it.

Ok sorry I blew up.

Yes like B2B says sickness is part of the program. How can one grow without challenges?
