In reply to: Eponymous-25Jun02 's message, "Re: Religion for a long life?" on 13:12

This subject is discussed at length in "The Healing Power of Faith" and is more than plausible and marginal.

"Harold Koenig, M.D., author of The Healing Power of Faith, has devoted his career to examining scientifically the healing powers of religious belief. He directs Duke University's Center for the Study of Religion/Spirituality and Health, the first research facility in the world to study how religious faith affects believers' physical and emotional health. This center's research has led to more than 70 data-based, peer-reviewed papers published in medical and scientific journals. Some of the findings include:
People with strong faith who suffer from physical illness have significantly better health outcomes than less religious people.
People who attend religious services regularly have stronger immune systems and lower stress than their less religious counterparts.
Religious faith seems to protect the elderly from cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Religious patients recover from hip fractures and open-heart surgeries better than nonreligious patients."

-Amazon, Joan Price


"...the "flocks" did not share the longevity of their "shephards."

Though I don't believe this is true perhaps any difference is due to a similar issue that seems to be part of the kriya "world" as well.....it's apparent that there is a difference from those who only "talk the talk" and those who actually "walk the walk."
