Wellness and the Disease Process

“In spontaneous recovery there is frequently a marked increase in the capacity to love as a healing factor. We have been told that to love is to live healthily by numerous books on the best-seller list. But the mind resists change as a matter of pride. Love of our fellow man can ensue only when we stop condemning, fearing, and hating him. Such radical change can be disorienting; the courage to endure the temporary discomfort of growth is also required. Recovery from any disease process is dependent on willingness to explore new ways of looking at one’s self and life. This includes the capacity to endure inner fears when belief systems are shaken. People cherish and cling to their hates and grievances; to heal humanity it may be necessary to pry whole populations away from lifestyles of spite, attack and revenge.”

- from the book Power Versus Force: the Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D
