The movie revolves around the fact that our thoughts create our reality. Notice I didn’t say the idea, or the best guess but rather the fact that our thoughts create our reality. Throughout the ages great sages and prophets have taught this vital concept. Buddha said all we are is a result of our thoughts. The Bible says what you think is what you become. Norman Vincent Peale says you aren’t what you think you are, rather what you think, you are. Ghandi said, I will not allow anyone to walk through my mind with dirty feet. The authors of The Secret tell us that our whole life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go on in our heads. And A Course in Miracles says you are responsible for what you think because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice.

Dr. Dispenza went on to discuss the four common characteristics that people with spontaneous healings from terminal diseases had in common after studying dozens of cases throughout 17 countries. They are:

1) They have a belief in a higher power. They don’t necessarily ascribe to a certain religion. But they definitely know that there’s a force greater than themselves, the same force that causes a baby to be created, the body to heal and the earth to revolve around the sun.

2) They took responsibility for their illness. In other words, they believed with 100% certainty that their illness was created because of the way they thought and acted.

3) They realized that they had to start anew. They had to reinvent themselves.

4) And lastly they had long moments where they became lost in space and time. I believe what this means is they started to live in the present, rather than fret over the past or worry about the future.

Dr. Dispenza said near the end of the movie that the only reason we don’t live our lives knowing that our thoughts create the circumstances of our lives is that WE DON’T BELIEVE IT. Well, I believe it and I want you to as well. I look at it like this. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends and make the thanks part the main event.
