Illusion of the Body
The author, David Almeida, attributes Illusion of the Body to the work of the Universal Mind. Divine illumination is always at the focus of his writing. Mr. Almeida wanted to produce a guidebook on mind body healing rather than a manual. The Illusion of the Body is a result of that effort. It is a book that is designed to teach panpsychic healing. This innovative alternative healing therapy is known as the Body Alive Principle. The Body Alive Principle describes the basis of panpsychic healing. The book provides a number of easy to use tools so that everyone can integrate these mind body healing principles into their daily lives.
The Illusion of the Body discusses panpsychism. This is the theory that all things (including plants and minerals) have consciousness. It is extremely difficult to explain this concept because consciousness is elusive and undefined. There are two parts (intelligence and personality) of the mind that cannot be determined. The Body Alive Principle makes the critical assumption that all things have a level of awareness.
The human body is another important part of the panpsychic healing theory. The Illusion of Body focuses on the sentient beings ("sentient," from the Latin word meaning to perceive or feel, dates back to 1632. It means that something is capable of awareness of the physical sensations of the body, such as its cells and organs). The Body Alive Principle assists practitioners to communicate with these vital intelligences in order to promote better health. This exchange is accomplished primarily with The Body Alive Principle utilizing empathetic listening, creative visualization and positive commands. These alternative medicine techniques (which facilitate mind body healing) help to carry out the Body Alive Principle.
There are several higher personal qualities that make a healthy relationship with our bodies possible. The most important quality is integrity. Without maintaining a virtuous life, we cut off communication with our bodies. When we direct offensivebehavior at others, we disrespect ourselves. In the process, we lose our leadership position over the “little minds” of our bodies. Our status as the “super mind” means nothing when these little minds refuse to comply. They are unlikely to tolerate immoral conduct. Our actions directly affect the body’s performance. Therefore, it is critical that we stay honest. The author maintains that integrity is an evolutionary process of improvement. One must continually correct him or herself in order to do better the next time.
Guilt can be very hazardous to the body. It has serious implications for the body’s highly functioning systems. Most of us do not realize the extent of our guilty minds. Some of this guilt is valid and useful to our spiritual evolution. However, most guilt serves no good purpose. Guilt must be eliminated before any further personal growth (and mind body healing) can take place. The Illusion of the Body addresses the kind of guilt which has outlived its usefulness. This is presented as a five-step process. By conquering guilt, we clear the way for mental, emotional, and physical healing.
Most people will face some type of trauma in their lives. The Illusion of the Body discusses the symptoms of psychological trauma and the suffering it produces. It explores a process for removing the underlying cause of trauma. The authors' own experience is presented as an example.
The final section of the Illusion of the Body is an appendix. It discusses a number of dangerous chemicals that are added to consumer
food products by manufacturers in order to increase profit margins. The author considers this section of particular importance
since these chemicals are slowly poisoning our bodies (and prevent mind body healing). The intent of this section is to inform the reader of the existence of these chemicals. It is not meant to persuade people to stop eating the foods that they enjoy.
The Body Alive Principle has tremendous potential as a mind body healing technique. It is a superb healing concept and practice
for people who are dissatisfied with other alternative healing techniques. It is hoped that those afflicted with stubborn
medical illnesses will give serious consideration to this novel mind body healing therapy. It is not necessary to stop your current
medical treatment in order to try it. Through repetition, you will see excellent results.
