You Can Cure Cancer Yourself (part 1)

Q&A with Master Ryuho Okawa of Happy Science

As in the biblical era of Jesus Christ, Happy Science followers are often cured of serious illness through the power of their faith and prayers. This is happening not only in Japan, but also in Brazil and India where the number of followers is growing. In this Q&A Master Okawa explains his approach to curing illness with the power of faith. If you, your family, and your friends truly believe this and can put it into practice, the illness may be cured.

Question:

Three people close to me have cancer. One has acute leukemia, one has a rare cancer called malignant liposarcoma and one has uterine cancer. I think that to cure cancer with the power of faith, there first needs to be effort on the part of the person who is sick, but other than that I’d like to ask for Master’s ideas on those around that person using their collective power of faith and making cancerous cells disappear, as well as the mechanism for making that happening.

You Can Cure Cancer Yourself (part 1)

Q&A with Master Ryuho Okawa of Happy Science

Answer:Step 1 to curing cancer

Have at least some understanding of the other world and this world

The circumstances of those three people may be different, but first it is difficult for the power of faith to work if there isn’t at least some understanding about the relationship between the other world and this one.

A minimal understanding is the view that humans are beings that transmigrate between the other world and this. We exist in a physical form now, but we are beings that came from the other world and will return to the other world with our spiritual body being our principal form. This is the basic understanding you should have.

Step 2 to curing cancer

View illness as a challenge bestowed upon you

Next, there are many things that could be wrong in this world such as relationships, business and work. However, in light of the understanding I talked about just now, you have to know that this world is like school in that life is all about learning.

Instead of feeling like a student complaining to their teacher that they have too much homework, think, “I will try and find my own answer to this challenge I’ve been given.”

Think of this as koan (a question to ponder in Zen training) and think about why you have this illness. Is the cause in this life? If not, it may lie in a previous life. In finding where the root of your illness lies, it is important to reflect on the possibility of whether it is something that is understandable and can be reflected upon.

Step 3 to curing cancer

Despite your illness, make an effort to point the compass needle of your mind in a positive directionThis may be difficult for a sick person to do, but try and focus your thoughts as much as possible on, “I may be sick right now, but is there some way, no matter how small, that I can be of use to the world or the others?” Basically, make an effort to point the compass needle of your mind in a positive, constructive and productive direction.

If you focus on your illness, you will only see yourself deteriorating and dying. Further, you will create your own “movie” in which you play the tragic hero or heroine making those around you cry.

Pick yourself up and return good deeds to those around you and practice picturing over and over in your mind the story of you transforming.

Step 4 to curing cancer

Once you have faith and “let yourself go”, your body will also lighten up

I don’t know whether those close to you with cancer are able to read in their condition or not, but we also have CDs and DVDs of my sermons so have them learn a bit about the teachings of Happy Science. If they can firmly believe in El Cantare* from doing that, they will come to realize that there is no such thing as an incurable illness.

If their thoughts revolve around this world, everything will be a worry and everything will appear uncertain. However, if they truly believe in El Cantare, ultimately they will feel that they can leave everything to God. Once that happens, the body will suddenly feel lighter.

I’ve never heard of cancer of the fat cells before, but I’ve cured leukemia and most other illnesses with my spiritual power so there is basically no such thing as something that the power of faith cannot cure.

Step 5 to curing cancer

Keep picturing a positive future with your life improvedTo cure cancer, there needs to be a reason for improving and extending what remains of that person’s life. They should think about the creation of a positive future with “if I can improve and extend my life, I would like to create this kind of future for myself.” Those around them,

too, should support them in that. The one who is sick may complain and say negative things, but their friends and family should think about giving them the power to turn that negativity back into something positive.

The possibilities for human beings are endless. If a doctor says, “you will die”, it is safe to think, “I will not die”. If you are told you have an 80% chance of dying, you should think you have an 80% chance of not dying, if you are told you have a 100% chance of dying, think you have a 100% chance of not dying and if you are told you have less than a year to live, think you definitely have over a year.

Generally, the more a patient counters a doctor, the longer they live. (laughter in the audience) This is statistically proven and it is clear that patients who don’t listen to what the doctors say and are defiant actually live longer.

Because doctors see sick and dying people every day, it’s normal for them. If it were a fish shop, it would be like thinking, “if we stock up on fish, it’ll all go off.” Unless they stop thinking about that and imagine customers cooking the fish well, the family enjoying the meal and everyone being happy, they will not be good fish shops.

As much as possible, think of the bright future. If the person who is sick can’t do it, then it’s fine for others at Happy Science to do it for him or her. You should help the person to discover what kind of picture is possible. (To be continued in part 2)
