What does all this mean in a practical sense? What does it mean for you, a person who potentially wants to improve your health results? There are two primary lessons here. One lesson is that it really does take effort in order to achieve a desired result, and it is a mistake to look at other people and assume they did not have to expend effort to get there. People who have achieved phenomenal levels of physical fitness or human health, or who have proven themselves in sports or the Olympics, have all invested time, effort and usually a fair amount of money into achieving those results.

The second lesson is to realize that these changes start from the inside and work their way out, not the other way around. A person who leads a healthy lifestyle starts that process on the inside. They change who they are first, and then they begin to act on who they are. For example, they may change their belief system and decide that they can heal themselves, that they can be fit, that they can engage in regular exercise or that they don't necessarily need to eat pizza and donuts all the time. They can make these choices on the inside, and then they begin acting them out, because our behavior always follows who we think we are. Once that behavior is acted out over time, the changes begin to unfold on the outside. Their excessive body weight begins to drop off, their eyes brighten, their skin is rejuvenated and begins to look remarkably younger, their symptoms of disease -- including chronic pain, high blood pressure, stress and depression -- all begin to fade away.

The big mistake that most Westerners and Americans make is they have this process backwards. They attempt to change themselves from the outside without working on who they are on the inside. The most extreme example of this is cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is an effort to reshape the external body while being unconscious under a surgeon's scalpel. This is extreme denial and extreme dissociation from the person who needs to make a change. Of course, cosmetic surgery may make an external change, however, it never changes the person on the inside. As a result, it never changes the behavior, the belief systems or the lifestyle habits of a person.

I know many people with really great skin, and these people don't use any cosmetics whatsoever -- no lotions, no creams, no perfumes, no makeup, and so on. Instead, they follow very healthy diets and lifestyles. They engage in regular physical exercise, eat organic foods or raw foods, and avoid all processed foods, dairy products and meats. In fact, they don't buy anything in a box. They basically buy fresh produce. A lot of these people are juicers. That means they drink fresh, raw juice every day, and they often have their own juicers in their kitchen. If you want great skin, start juicing for health.

To summarize so far, we talked about the dissociation of results from effort. We covered two basic lessons on what that means for people in Western cultures, and how we tend to go off track by making the mistake of thinking we can change who we are with lotions or skin creams or cosmetic surgeries. This is one of the great seductions of the drugs and cosmetics industries, and I cover this in more detail in my book, "Spam Filters For Your Brain," which you'll find at TruthPublishing.com . It explains ten different seductions that these industries use to manipulate people into buying worthless products.
