Nov 18, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The November 17 episode of ‘Oprah’ discussed the truth behind the Brazilian healer who is known as ‘John of God’. The guests on the show spoke about their experiences with the healer who has been a topic of debate for scientists and believers all over the world. Talking on the show were two individuals who were not really on opposing sides but on different grounds when it came to beliefs. There was also a video shown of the healer and his effect on the people.
Susan Casey, the editor-in-chief of the ‘O’ Magazine said that she did not keep any pre-conceived notion about the healer and went with a neutral mind. She added that after the visit, her life changed significantly. According to Susan Casey, ‘John of God’ is not only committed to the cause of healing other with his special gift but is also scientific enough to advocate doctors. A man of beliefs based on science and medicine, Dr. Rediger, also spoke on the show and interestingly he was seen neutral towards the idea of the healer.
Dr.Rediger said that the idea of believing that everything is in the mind might not be what it actually seems like and said that the power of the mind and power of belief might be far more effective than people think. He explained that the power of mind and belief are areas that mankind has only begun to explore and there were several great opportunities in it. According to him it was a totally unexplored wilderness and described the healing process as the journey of the soul. He also added that everyone is trying to use their illness to learn something that was unique to their particular situation.
