Blog 4: Farewell Field

I like how McTaggart wrapped everything up with aspects a little more believable and easy to understand. To someone who thought she may have been crazy to state all these other happenings, putting these last few chapters in the book can definitely make you believe the whole book as well.

I am quite a religious person and I've always believed there is a higher being and that to me , is God. So it wasn't to hard for me to grasp the whole "fantasy" portrayal of this book. I've always felt some sort of magic because of religion because I have had experiences with it. For instance the one night i was asleep, i woke up to go to the bathroom and noticed some type of rash that looked like a bunch of bugbites going up my right arm. I was infuriated to think that i had been attacked by bugs in my sleep. For some reason i felt the need to pray because i was pretty upset at the situation. So i went back to sleep and woke up later, and it...was...gone... It was like a miracle and pretty magical to me. But besides that, thats why i can believe in the power of praying in this book. Obviously not everything is going to come true that you pray about because we all have a destination in life where doors open and close on you. Things are meant to happen for a reason in life, and if you keep putting forth effort into it, your gonna end up being happy where you are. When things don't go your way, you need to realize that, Hey, maybe this wasnt what i was meant to do, dont give up, and was meant to do something else. So i honestly dont need this book to tell me how prayer and healing can work, because i know it does through my own sources, but at least this is maybe a more believable book for someone to read other than the Bible surprisingly. I rely on faith and prayer all the time weather it comes to baseball when I do something good, i owe it to God for giving me my talents and giving me confidence, or with life in general.

Once again the whole physical aspect relations of this book sparked me most. The power of healing through ZPF. This aspect had to be around way before we could even imagine. People such as Native Americans and Asians used the power of healing through the mind all the time. They would use symbolic potions and such to help their sick. Even if the potions didnt work, it was perhaps a mind game to make you think you were going to heal after having the stuff. These people are still around and haven't died off right? So I think their tradition ways of healing have been working for centuries. It is also a proven fact that if you are more positive with less stress, that you will heal faster. I happened to be flipping through stations last night and got to National Geographic and the show was called Killer Stress and it basically went over how stress can literally kill us eventually. My dad and I also strongly believe in healing through being positive, eating right, taking natural herbs everyday, and avoiding all these perscription medicines that have all these side effects that hinder your ability to function correctly. Keeping the mind free of stress also keeps you healthy whether its through meditation or resource tapping is essential to being healthy. I am rarely ever sick because I research different natural cures to things, rarely ever injured when it comes to sports, and my mind is free of stress due to my religious outlook on life. I think all these aspects I talked about tie in together with this book in the end
