If I was ever going to write an OPINION piece, this is it. That said, here goes.
If truth is to be considered the actual manifestation in one’s life, then my life reflects both lived truth and unlived philosophy. The lived truth? I am a board certified Applied Kinesiologist and a board certified, professional chiropractor. I am a scientist in mind and a spiritualist at heart. I have had the privilege of being a student of Ramtha for over 16 years, through which I have developed my current model of thinking.
My philosophy is that what I think, what I dream, I experience and live. My experience, however, has been that often I desire something, only to end up dreaming about it over and over. Or worse, I “desire” it and I can’t find the wherewithal to “dream it.” I see this in myself and have observed this same on-again, off-again dynamic in all the humans I know. Thus far I have worked, very, very hard at times, diligently trying to accomplish changes and “understanding.” And I have also spent plenty of time just pleasing my senses, drowning the voices deeper inside me.
For all spiritual-scientists and science-spiritualists who have pondered, even remotely, the conundrum, “If I create my reality, why does ________ happen to me?” (fill in the blank) this above stated on-off dynamic is very important; especially in the arena of health.
Even the biggest, baddest, most fit, youngest person amongst us has some physical body issue – if only the common cold. So here we are, supposedly these enlightened beings that “create our reality,” and yet we still get sick. We still die. If we still get sick and we still die, then is not our “enlightenment” still philosophy? Enlightenment isn’t enlightened until we can manifest it as lived truth – at will.
In What the Bleep?! Ramtha talks about the Ultimate Observer. What is that? We think we observe, but ponder this! I eat my steak sandwich at 2:00 p.m. At 4:00 p.m. the steak is powering my cells, yet “I” have not been thinking, directing, or observing these changes. While I am off doing other things, my body has changed steak, bread, butter and horseradish into nutrients for my cellular life.
What about when you sleep at night? “You” are unconscious. You go to dreamland, yet your body is held intact. If “you” are not observing this into being, than who/what is? I would hazard that the Ultimate Observer is the mind that keeps “you,” and “your body” intact when you sleep. It also digests the steak sandwich while you work. It handles all the processes of life while “you” go about your emotional/intellectual day.
For the sake of argument let’s say that “you,” the personality, is using only parts of your brain, specifically the neocortex, which allows all your thinking to occur. Then let’s imagine that there is another you, a subconscious “I,” that uses the deeper centers of your brain. Here lies the unknown Ultimate Observer which has the mandate of keeping all this physicality intact and functioning, while the personality “you” emotes, thinks, and attends to enjoying your physical senses.
This Ultimate Observer seems to run on autopilot, without our input. Moreover we seem to have little ability to take over its operations, even when we try - although through training some people have demonstrated the ability to have conscious control over the autonomic system.
Imagine again, for the sake of argument, that this Ultimate Observer has a program it is going by; say the “souls” preprogramming that fulfills whatever learning is needed for a lifetime. Now, all that taken into consideration, where do “I” the personality have a choice, in particular concerning my body, my genetics, my health and well being?
From my personal experience, here is what I know: The frontal lobe of your brain is like a screen that a movie can play on. It is, after all, called the “quiet area” of the brain. The Ultimate Observer uses the frontal lobe as a message board for the thoughts and imagines laid into it. It is a place where the Ultimate Observer picks up instructions on what is to be created.

The difficulty we have as on-again, off-again human beings is to imprint some significant, and desired, creative effect onto the message board in order to change what is already in motion in the body and in life. The Ultimate Observer needs an image on the message board to be on display long enough to make clear change possible. With the human mind drifting off so easily, this rarely happens. We wish, we dream a little, we hope, we pray, we meditate some. But the point is, the Ultimate Observer needs long, uninterrupted periods of unmoving focus to get the message off the board and into the body and into our life. When we add to the mix the obvious fact that the less focused our focus the longer the time of manifestation, then what happens? Any time delay allows doubt to creep in. And we all know what that does. Doubt just manifests more doubt.
Random uncontrolled focus = random chaotic life.
If you can hold the image of your perfect health long enough, without wavering, without thinking, then the Ultimate Observer within you can connect to the image desired and allow this new “observation” to be taken to deeper levels; the same levels of consciousness that digest the steak sandwich. This is what allows significant health changes and life changes to occur. Focus on your abundant health. And never let the image waver.
To your health.

Edgar Cayce on attitudes, emotions and the body
What follows are some ideas on the effects of emotions upon the body - and the body upon emotions - from Cayce’s original readings, as researched by Elaine Hruska. Elaine is on the faculty of the Cayce-Reilly School of Massage in Virginia Beach, is a massage therapist, co-editor of A.R.E.’s True Health newsletter, and author of a book on Edgar Cayce’s health principles, When Illness Strikes.
Some of the things Cayce recommended we take for granted, like keeping a healthy attitude or expecting to get well, or when you do pursue a particular health regimen, to pursue it consistently and persistently – he emphasized that.
As far as emotions affecting the body are concerned, in reading 40:21-1, Cayce said, “No one can hate his neighbor and not have stomach or liver trouble. And no one can be jealous and allow the anger of same, and not have upset digestion or heart disorder.”
It seemed from comments like that that he was ahead of his time when he was giving these readings, that he was sort of pre-figuring psychosomatic illnesses. One of the things I found kind of interesting, is that even though he does mention particular attitudes affecting one’s health, he also, when people came to him with different, what we might call mental illnesses, different phobias…the old word was dementia or senility – in almost every instance Cayce would always be concerned about how to get rid of this fear or anxiety, and he would always go back to a physical problem or disturbance in their glandular system or usually, most the time, there was something out of alignment in the spine. So spinal alignment was a big thing.
But it kind of goes both ways. A lot of times the mental illness is the direct result of the physical, and sometimes people would ask him if they should go to a counselor or a psychiatrist. And he would say that if you follow these – he would give them a whole regimen of treatment – he said if you follow these you don’t need to see them. And so it was amazing the complexity of the body being so interwoven.
Cayce used to say “The mind is the builder.” And so he would caution people sometimes, and in some of the physical readings he would mention an attitude, or maybe that they were worried about something, and this particular worry was creating a disturbance in their digestive system. He spoke to this one person and talked about that their digestive system was out of balance and that one day a food would agree with them and the next day that it wouldn’t. And that it had to do with sometimes the secretions in the stomach were out of balance. And he said especially that happens when a person is worried.
