Belief an autocrat
Mortal belief is a liar from the beginning, not deserving
power. It says to mortals, "You are wretched!" and they
think they are so; and nothing can change this state, until
the belief changes. Mortal belief says, "You are happy!"
and mortals are so; and no circumstance can
alter the situation, until the belief on this sub-
ject changes. Human belief says to mortals, "You are
sick!" and this testimony manifests itself on the body as
sickness. It is as necessary for a health-illusion, as for
an illusion of sickness, to be instructed out of itself into
the understanding of what constitutes health; for a change
in either a health-belief or a belief in sickness affects the
physical condition.
