MEDICAL INSURANCE AND RETIREMENT PROGRAMS
“Not only do you operate within your own personal beliefs, of course, but within a mass system to which you subscribe to one degree or another. Within that organization medical insurance becomes a necessity for most of you, so I am not suggesting that you drop it. Nevertheless… you are paying in advance for illness that you are certain will come your way. You are making all preparations in the present for a future of illness. YOU ARE BETTING UPON DISEASE, NOT HEALTH. THIS IS THE WORST KIND OF NATURAL HYPNOSIS, and yet within your system insurance is indeed a necessity, because the belief in illness so pervades your mental atmosphere. Many become ill only after taking out such ‘insurance’…. Even more unfortunate are the special policies for the elderly that detail in advance all of the most stereotyped and distorted concepts about health and age. There is a great correlation between the kind of policies that people take out and the illnesses that they then fall prey to.”
“Ideas of retirement fall generally into the same pattern, for hidden within them is the belief that at one time or another, at a specific age, your powers will begin to fail. These ideas are usually accepted by young and old alike. In believing them the young automatically begin the gradual conditioning of their own bodies and minds. The results will be reaped.”
