When a foreign body such as a bullet is lodged inside you, you cannot be healed without taken out that foreign body. No amount of drugs or meditation will help. To heal, you must remove the foreign body. It is difficult to take out a lodged bullet by yourself. You typically need a trained and steady hand to do that. And after the bullet is removed, you need some drugs and care, to help you back to fitness. Finally, you will need to avoid situations that leave you open to getting bullets in your body, because you might not always be lucky enough to survive it.

The same applies for the mind. When a limiting thought is lodged in your mind, you cannot move on by trying to ignore it. In fact the mind is too ferocious a foe to ignore. You have to consciously act to take out that limiting thought. No healing can occur in any other way. It is difficult to take out a limiting thought on your own, you will need help from those you trust, delivered through books, audio, video or face to face conversations. You will realize that the limiting thoughts are not really yours, as they have been had by many, and many still have the same limiting thoughts. An experienced and steady tongue can help you remove the limiting thoughts. And after the limiting thoughts are removed, sometimes you might need drugs and most times, care, to nurse you back to fullness. Finally, you will need to avoid situations that leave you open to limiting thoughts being lodged in your mind, because you might not always be lucky enough to survive it.
