There Is No Out There

A reader sent me a link to a wonderful story by Dr. Joe Vitale about a doctor who heals patients in a very unique way.  This doctor never actually sees his patients.  He heals them by healing the part of himself that created them – a real life subjective reality healer.

Here’s a short passage from the story:

Being responsible for what I say or do is one thing.  Being responsible for what everyone in my life says or does is quite another.  Yet, the truth is this:  if you take complete responsibility for your life, then everything you see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is your responsibility because it is in your life.

This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy — anything you experience and don’t like — is up for you to heal. They don’t exist, in a manner of speaking, except as projections from inside you.  The problem isn’t with them, it’s with you, and to change them, you have to change you.

In short, there is no out there.

Dr. Vitale is also working on a book with this doctor titled Zero Limits.

      Synchronicity and inner work

      Reading Steve Pavlina’s blog (always a good idea), I came across a post entitled ‘There is no out there’.
      It’s about a healer who works by healing the reflection of the other person within himself. Mind-boggling.
      And that reminded…
