When the preacher says, I put my hand on your head and the Holy Spirit is healing you, it's your belief that's healing you. When I very, very first became a therapist, this gentleman came to see me. I never forgot him. He was quite titled. And he came in for being an alcoholic. And he sat in front of me and I started to talk. He went, my dear, I can't speak. This is so powerful what you're doing that I'm unable to speak. And he put his head on my desk, and he thought he was in deep hypnosis. He really wasn't. And I kind of carried on with his spiel. And at the end, he opened his eyes and went, that was marvelous. And he's never had a drop of alcohol since. But, you know, I really didn't do it. He did it. He came in with a belief. You're going to look at me and do some stuff and you're going to fix me. And really, that's what healing is. This is not to denigrate religion at all. When the preacher says, I put my hand on your head and the Holy Spirit is healing you, it's your belief that's healing me.
