Dennis, youu're exactly riight, but that also reveals one of the great mysteries of God, life or whtever. If you strictly focus on healing/cure then you often miss it, and what it may have to teach you. Things happen where you put your attention, so on one hand , it's good to focus on your health (eating right, etc.), but often the purpose of disease and many other things which happen to us, is to teach us something and/or get our attention. Usually I'd say that the thing it's trying to show us proboably ultimately has to accepting ourselves or others, learning our true nature whiich is of God, etc., all us which bring us closer to our center really. That's the place where we are connected, powerful, fearless, imortal, and well, godlike or more spirit than flesh. So, altho' the primary reason of centering isn't necessarily healing, it seems logical that that's where one would find it. That's why I believe Jesus could heal like he did and why we still can today. He was born centered and never lost it like most of us do and then spend most of lives, in some fashion, trying to regain it and often not even realizing we're doing that. That's why some native americans believe those who are ill to be blessed,l they've got a shortcut in a sense, if they want to take it. And if one believes that disease is in part caused by this separation from ourselves/God, then reestablishing the link (centering) is what makes us whole and frrom there healing comes naturally. Seek ya first the kingdom of God (that's at our center ), and all these things will be given you. But we have to seek the center/kingdom first, and also once you're there, you really aren't as concerned about the outcome anymore, cuz you realize that your true nature is much bigger than this body, and in the grand scheme of things, both the disease and the cure are illusion.
