Selfless Love Kills Viruses

[Guest guest]

Found the following in an old issue (July/Aug. 1985) of American Health.

---------------------

 

About half the Harvard students who watched a movie about Mother Teresa of

Calcutta - who gives her life to the sick and dying - decided that she must

be a fraud, or just too religious. But the students' conscious judgment of

Teresa did not keep many of them from experiencing specific benefits at

watching her selfless love: The movie stimulated a sharp increase in the

Immunoglobulin-A content of student saliva. IgA kills many a virus. It's the

immune system's first line of defense...

 

Psychologist David McClelland and his colleagues spent months studying the

students who had increased levels of IgA. Using picture story tests,

researchers concluded that students unconsciously benefited from the Teresa

movie.

This is interesting Mike..

Because there is evidence that passively watching mass produced entertainment TV

(soaps, series etc.) does the contrary to health: a deteriorating influence.

ºAll paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

ºperceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

ºsubside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

ºdifferent than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the

ºnature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present.

ºIt is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

ºFinality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

ºSelf-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self. Welcome
