Prescription for Living
by Bernie Siegel, MD
Living Consciously
have learned that their conscious mind is still able to hear and is affected by what it hears. If you are alive and not under the effect of drugs you cannot help but live consciously. The question, however, is what are you conscious of while you are living? For me living consciously is about
A
serving others through my acts of love. Life can be that simple. That does not mean that I do not care for and love my- self as well and say no, on occasion, when things arise that I do not want to do. I am choosing to love the world in my way and not have the will of others imposed upon my conscious choices. Why we are conscious and why we
s a surgeon I have had the expe- rience of operating upon people who are living unconsciously. I
have choices is to give our lives meaning. The Garden of Eden, where I attend board of directors of heaven meetings as an ad- visor, is devoid of consciousness because there are no choices there. The weather is perfect, everyone loves you and after a few days it all loses its meaning and I am glad to get home to my wife and pets. When they love me it means a great deal because they are making a conscious choice to do so. Remember I did not say you have
to consciously like everyone and every- thing. I said to love. Consciously choos- ing to love will heal you, kill with kind- ness, torment with tenderness and blind the faultfinders of the world. Consciously loving another is the world’s greatest weapon. Some day may we all realize its potential to heal the world and bring the garden to earth. So tomorrow if you are fortunate
enough to awaken from sleep choose to love and live consciously. If you act like a loving grandparent toward all living things you will become aware of what I mean.
When all the children of one genera-
tion are raised on love by parents, edu- cators and religions, creation begins and destruction ceases. If you want to evalu- ate your level of consciousness ask your- self these questions.
Who can I hate? Who is the enemy?
Who can I love? What is evil?
‘There was the word and the word was with god and the word was god’ should read, there was consciousness and con- sciousness was with god and conscious- ness was god. God is loving, intelligent, conscious, energy. How is this revealed by the nature of creation? Think about the ability of a wound to heal and the fact that the conversion of water to ice defies the laws of physics. Ice floats and preserves our planet. Who worked that one out? No other liquid acts this way when frozen.

Also cells are conscious in all liv-
ing things. They make choices and carry memories. We are seeing this today in the donor’s memories retained by trans- planted organs. So the organ recipient’s consciousness is changed by these mem- ories. Last but not least consciousness ex- ists without bodies too. Bodies permit consciousness to per-
form acts of creation. That is why we have them but when the body dies conscious- ness still exists. During near death, out of the body experiences, people continue to see and those who are blind see when they are out of their bodies too. What is seeing my friends? Consciousness is also what gives
us our past life experiences. It is con- sciousness that continues to exist, with its knowledge, and is passed on to a new body when it is born to life. Life is a school so please work at be-
coming a graduate student and stop hurt- ing others who are not at your level of consciousness. God be with you. Or should it be consciousness be with you?
