What he does is he simply tells them to imagine -- -if they have cancer of thethroat, he tells them to relax and imagine that the whole energy of their body ismoving towards the throat, and the gland is being attacked by their energy. Justlike arrows from everywhere, all over -- moving towards the throat and attackingthe disease. Within three, four or six weeks the gland simply disappears withoutleaving a trace behind. And cancer is thought to be incurable!Cancer is a modern disease; it has <strong>com</strong>e because of the stress, tension and anxietyof life. There has, in fact, been no cure for it up to now through the body. Ifcancer can be treated through the mind, then everything can be treated throughthe mind.Jesus' miracles happened because the people were very trusting. Once ithappened: he was walking and a woman -- a very poor woman, afraid andapprehensive about whether Jesus would treat her or not, because he was alwayscrowded by so many people -- the woman thought to herself, "Just touch Jesus'garment from behind." She did, and she was cured.Jesus looked back and the woman started thanking him. She fell at his feet andwas very grateful. He said, "Don't be grateful to me, be grateful to God. <strong>You</strong>rfaith has healed you, not I."The world was deep in trust; people were rooted in faith. Then just the idea that"If Jesus touches my eyes, they will be cured" -- the very idea be<strong>com</strong>es the rootcause of the cure. It is not that Jesus cures; if you are skeptical then Jesus can'thelp, then he will not be able to cure you.I was reading a story. One day Jesus was running out of a town. A farmerworking in his fields saw him running, so he inquired, "What is the matter?Where are you going?"But he was in such a hurry that he would not answer. So the farmer followedhim, stopped him after a while, and said, "Please tell me, I have be<strong>com</strong>e toocurious. If you don't tell me, then why you were running will haunt me againand again. Where are you going? From whom are you escaping?"Jesus said, "From a fool."The farmer started laughing. He said, "What are you saying? I know well thatyou have cured blind people, you have cured people who were almost dying -- Ihave heard that you have cured people who were dead already! Can't you cure afool? "Jesus said, "No. I tried, but I can't because he is a fool and he won't believe. I havecured all sorts of illnesses and I have never failed, but with this fool I have failed.He goes on following me and he says, 'Cure me,' but I have tried every way that Iknow and everything fails. That's why I am escaping from the town."A fool cannot be cured... and a fool cannot be hypnotized. Ordinarily, amongstthe <strong>com</strong>mon masses, the idea is prevalent that very intelligent people cannot behypnotized. That is absolutely wrong. Only fools cannot be hypnotized, idiotscannot be hypnotized, mad people cannot be hypnotized. The greater the<strong>Come</strong> <strong>Follow</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>You</strong> <strong>Vol</strong> 1Osho
intelligence, the more possibility there is of your going deep into hypnosis --because in hypnosis your trust is needed, the first requirement is your trust. Thefirst requirement is your cooperation, and an idiot, a madman, cannot cooperateand cannot trust.Jesus could do miracles. Those miracles were simple; they happened becausepeople were trusting. If you can trust, then the mind starts functioning fromwithin, spreads to the body and changes everything. But if you can't trust, thennothing can help.Even ordinary medicine helps you because you trust it. There has been anobservation that whenever a new medicine is invented it works very well for sixmonths to two years -- people are affected by it -- but after six months, eightmonths, ten months, it doesn't work so well. Physicians have been worried --what happens?Whenever a new medicine is invented you believe in it more than in an oldmedicine. Now you know the panacea is there "... and I will be helped by it." Andyou are helped! The trust in a new medicine, a new discovery, helps. They talkabout it on TV, on the radio, in the newspapers, and a climate of trust and hopeis there. But after a few months, when many people have taken it -- and a fewfools have also taken it, which cannot be helped -- then a suspicion arises,because this man has taken the medicine and nothing happened. These fools thencreate an anti-climate, and after a while the medicine loses its effect.Even more than medicine, the physician helps if you trust him. Have youwatched that whenever you are ill and the doctor <strong>com</strong>es, if you trust the doctorthen you feel relief just by his <strong>com</strong>ing? He has not given any medicine up to now.He has just been checking your body -- blood pressure, this and that -- andalready you feel that fifty percent of the disease is gone. A man you can trust has<strong>com</strong>e. Now there is no need to carry the burden on yourself. <strong>You</strong> can leave it tohim and he will see to it. But if you don't trust the physician, he cannot doanything.In medicine, they call a certain false medicine 'placebo'. It is just water -- orsomething which has nothing to do with the illness -- but if it is given to you by aphysician you trust, it helps as much as the real medicine; there is no difference.Mind is more powerful than matter; mind is more powerful than the body.AND JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE, TEACHING IN THEIRSYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, ANDHEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASEAMONG THE PEOPLE.AND HIS FAME WENT THROUGHOUT ALL SYRIA: AND THEY BROUGHTUNTO HIM ALL SICK PEOPLE THAT WERE TAKEN WITH DIVERSDISEASES AND TORMENTS, AND THOSE WHICH WERE POSSESSED WITH<strong>Come</strong> <strong>Follow</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>You</strong> <strong>Vol</strong> 1Osho
