To make a long story short, he cured himself of full body paralysis. Using nothing but his will power/mind, and Faith in God. He broke in spine in two places after a plane crash.

He was completely paralyzed. He could only blink his eyes. He willed himself to move his fingers, through total concentration and obsession. He then forced himself to breathe on his own, without the help of ventilators.

He then willed himself to speak and walk.


Today he is perfectly well and healthy, motivating people all over the world that they too can take control of thier lives, no matter what.


What say you ?

"His injuries were too severe for him to survive."

You know, when you say that and it is true, then the person in the case can't survive.

Otherwise you are just lying.

Even though will power and hope has proven to be beneficial for people in such debilitating positions. I would have to suggest at first glance that the man's diagnosis was flawed. although, the column doesnt lean towards this. There are miracles every day in medicine.
I know Bardock was being fecetious, but there are cases all the time where renowned DR's are bewildered by recoveries from people whom sustained injuries that by all inferences boast impossible recoveries. People sometimes regain motor ability in instances where that achievement was thought impossible. A quadriplegic regaining full access of his body without any kind of medical intervention, however, sets off bulshit alarms.

This topic is most conflicting for me. Although, i do believe in miracles. I do not believe independant miracles. I believe if my arm suffers from a compound fracture. It will not heal simply through willing the bone to descend back underneath my skin and reattach itself.

It is an interesting column though, most inspiring.

A great testimony.

Reminds me of one I posted in the religion forum that sort of relates:

A woman in my church, Laurie Waters, has a young grandson named Jesse.



Last October, the boy (at age 2) fell out of the second story window of his house and landed on his stomach.

At Roseville Sutter hospital, the doctors examined him and discovered that his spleen had ruptured and that he had massive internal bleeding.

Not being equipped to deal with the situation properly, they had the boy air lifted by helicopter to UC Davis medical center.

All the while, Laurie is praying outside of where the boy was.

As they were transporting him to UC Davis, Jesse (who'd been unconscious the entire time) woke up and started talking to the medic in the helicopter.

By the time they'd landed, he was laughing with him, and upon examination had no internal bleeding, no rupture to his spleen, and no scar tissue. smile

False diagnosis? ...possible I suppose, but how they would see a rupture and massive bleeding and then see nothing, not even a hint of an injury is beyond me.




Another good one is a woman named Rosio who lives across the street from my in-laws, who had been diagnosed and suffering from Lupus.

All the tests were the same for 7 months, and she had all the symptoms: rashes, chest pains, swollen joints, fatigue, etc...

Well, this woman and her husband Gino had a good friend of our family, a Pastor Abraham from India, lay hands upon her and pray for her healing one night just this August at a home group at my in-laws house.

Needless to say, she went back to the doctors 2 weeks later and all 5 tests that had returned "positive" for last 7 months returned "negative".

The doctors had no explanation.

She and her husband both related this story to our entire church and described, a "cool, calming feeling that swept over the body" as they were prayed for and had hands laid on them. smile


Or my wife's dad, who was suffering from Hepatitus C... pooping blood and white feces over 20 years ago, and recieved his healing from prayer. (again, doctors confounded.)


Or how about,...

Well, I better stop before I get in trouble.

Don't mind me, I'm just the crazy guy praying in the corner. big grin

Bardock42
Yeah, I have a similar testimony.

One sunday a congregation near here were at service (praying da lord, you know)...I think about 200. Well anyways, there was a gas leak, all died.

**** GOD!!!

I actually got his name from the Book "The Secret". Supposedly, he was using the "Law of Attraction".

Whether it was his Faith in God, or the power of his mind, the point is he cured himself of paralysis.



This isn't speculation, nor is it a "false diagnosis". You may be able to pull that one with Andrew Stimpson and his supposed recovery from HIV, but that can't be done here.


Morris Goodman WAS in fact, paralyzed due to two broken bones in his spinal cord. The accident is specific, if you read the link.


Within years he gained his motor ability, speech, etc. He's normal now, perfectly healthy. I know to all of you skeptics and negative thinkers, this seems impossible, but face it...it happened. A man cured himself of paralysis.

People have recovered from spinal injury before. One football player got kneed in the back of the neck, pulvorised one of his vertabraes, yet, he was able to walk after 6 monthsw or something.

SpearofDestiny
I understand. Spinal Injury recovery is nothing unique. Great, but nothing new.


Morris Goodman's case was far more than just mere spinal injury. This was full blown paralysis. Understand the damages:




-broken spinal cord in two places (his neck broke at c1 and c2)
-crushed diagphram
-most of his muscles were mutiliated by the accident
-most of his bones, including his jaw, were broken
-his lungs were useless-he was hooked to an artificial respirator



So my freind, his injuries were far more than simple spinal injury.



Yet in a few years, he returned to full health. With his mind, he healed himself.



Every single day he imagined his fingers moving. And in a few weeks, they did.


He commanded his torso to expand little by little, taking small breaths. Each day increasing the amount. Soon he was able to breathe using his abdominal muscles instead of his upper diaphram. He was released from the artificial ventilators.

Within a year he was able to form a full sentence.

Afterwards, in a wheel chair, he commanded his feet and legs to move little by little.


A few years later, he began walking again.



Today he is perfectly fine, and is a motivational speaker all over the world.



There are claims that his Faith in God, and the Law of Attraction, were utilized to help him heal to full recovery.



Who knows...the point is he willed himself to health. Every single day he obsessed over getting his motion and body back. He did not accept paralysis. HE fought back and won.



Doubt all you want, but it happened. And like I said before, this is not speculation. His injuries are medically documented, the plane crash and injuries were cited and on the news, he was in serious critical condition, and today he is perfectly fine.

No scientific explanation can be made for what just happened, hence why he is dubbed "Miracle Man".


Morris Goodman claims that anyone can do what he did. He simply had the will to push himself to do it.

Morris Goodman claims that anyone can do what he did. He simply had the will to push himself to do it. The footballer was also paralysed. Remember, I said 6 months.

You know, one can theoretically break one's neck without being paralyzed. It's damaging the spinal cord that's the problem.

Hey, maybe this guy wasn't actually paralyzed, but he lacked the will to move until he realized that being a crip sucked?

SpearofDestiny
Lord XYZ- please tell me the name of the footballer you speak of, so I can do my research. I am not saying what happened to Morris Goodman was a miracle...I beleive he utilized the human ability to heal. It's something we just collectively do not understand.


Zeal- this guy was paralyzed. His body was nearly destroyed, it wasn't simply spinal injury, it was far more than that.

Secondly, he needed the help of artifical respirators to breathe. I doubt he would wait seven years to move again, if he could have just moved all along.

As of now, that is the best I can do. I do beleive him and his story. His injuries were severe, and it made news in the 80's. If his injuries were false, I am pretty sure by now, doctors and scientists would have disproven his injury/recovery process.


But unlike the controversy behind Andrew Stimpson's case (guy who supposedly beat HIV on his own), there is very little, other than personal logic, which can counter Goodman's situation.

inimalist
Every site you linked to associates what Morris did with "The Secret", or "The Law of Attraction".

I'm sorry you believe that.

I did as thourough of a search through medical literature as I possibly could, there is no mention of THIS Goodman (there is a Morris Goodman who studies primate evolution). That is clearly not proof against the case, it is just, I wouldn't take the words of site promoting pseudoscientific ideals as being anything more than ideologically motivated.

Could be. I'm not saying you are absolutely wrong.


But this happened in the 80's, and was on the News. So if you want to suggest that his story was simply media hype and a conspiracy promoted by doctors and what-not, then that's fine with me.



Initially he claimed it was his Faith in God which lead him to heal. Now they are saying it was the Law of Attraction (he recently joined the New Thought Movement, I suppose).


I beleive it. I do beleive in the Law of Attraction, personally, for different reasons. I beleive in the Power of the Mind. I can sit here and dictate to you everything of my experience which lead me to beleive this, but unless you truly care to know, I am not going to take my time to dictate it to you.


I know his story sounds unbelievable, but I highly doubt his story was simply made up back then just for the sake of propaganda.


However, I promise you, if I can find more conclusive info on the story, I will do so.


You know, you don't have to wait for me to do so. His email is right there in my last post. You can email him if you desire medical records.

Why do you doubt that? Why?

SpearofDestiny

1) His story was on the news in the 80's- it was a big deal then. A success guru who healed from paralysis and other severe injuries. I find it unlikely the media would collaborate with him just to serve a dishy story.


2) There are so many other stories like his that I have read about.


3) I doubt the doctors would just "go along" with his story by false diagnosing his multitude of injuries roll eyes (sarcastic)


4) I have read articles in Men's Health magazine which are similiar to his. I have read articles, medically documented articles in other Health info sources, where men and women ahve cured themselves of supposedly "incurable" diseases through alternative means


5) I know people in real life who survived and surpassed life threatening situations. My own sister, as a child, survived a septic shock...she survived the presense of gang green in her young body. She is perfectly healthy today.

6) I overcame Asthma at a very early age. Four years old. A grown adult beating any disease or condition doesn't seem too farfetched to me.

7) On the news, within the past few years, I have even seen a story of a man who survived being stabbed in the head.

8) On this Health Program, a girl is still alive after getting half her brain removed (due to cancer). She suffers minor light headedness at times, but otherwise she is perfectly fine.


9) There are plenty of medical records of people beating cancer. There are a few controversal cases of people beating HIV, but I beleive them.



10) There are other people who have survived horrendous things on thier own. Feel free to look them up:




-Dr. Ben Johnson
-Norman Cousins
-Kathy Goodman
-Dr. John F Demartini



The man I mentioned earlier, the guy in the Men's Health Article as a man who nearly died of Chrone's disease. Chrone's Disease is an illness where your intestines rebel against your body, and thus you do not absorb any nutrition. His muscles, brain, and organs were dying little by little.


In a year he was cured. Through deep meditation, relaxation, laughter, positive thinking, herbal remedy, right diet, excersize, and concentration he beat the disease.

These practices did what no medication could do for him. I promise you and everyone on KMC I will find the article, site it, tell you the issue, page #'s and his name.

The story amazed me, but it's nothing new. I've heard and read so many others.





So in a nutshell, those are a few of the reasons I hold no doubts. What you beleive is your choice, but I am not a negative thinker.

Morris Goodman claims that anyone can do what he did. He simply had the will to push himself to do it.

no. not every1 can do it. he could perhaps{if this story is authentic}. and perhaps because of his personal expirience, he thinks that others can too{most succesful people etc, will say that. they will generalise what THEY feal like/way for succes to to others. people who HAVE dont it feal like any1 can}, but that isnt true. if others could, they would.

its good that he did it, but many/most can not do what he did and will never be able to do what he did.

Healing Artisan
you can heal yourself with law of attraction. i mean,

leonheartmm
how? if there is no underlying symmetry/mysterious force than yu MAY be able to heal yourself if you are given the chance. but if you are not given the chance, no amount of personal actions in the past or the present will lend to you being able to heal yourself{in other words, you will not heal yourself}. and without mysticism, you can not have your present affected "completely" by your past. it may be, but then again, depending on the situation, it may not be a result of your actions.

How about links to the media releases of the injury and subsequent recovery?

To me that smacks of opportunist marketing. "The Secret" and other newage stuff is a multi billion dollar industry with almost no "quality control" check. People seem to think that it is ok to believe what this person says on faith, even though there is no demonstrable evidence that "his mind" cured his paralysis.

Personal subjective experience is a very faulty way to come to any type of understanding of the world around you. Our brains did not develop the faculty of reason to sit around and philosophise, and thus, they are very poor at doing this.

Everything from ancient philosophical traditions that speaks about the nature of the "self" has pretty much been shown to be false with modern neuroscience. The subjective nature of thinking about the self is entirely misleading.

I don't doubt it at all. Con men are very common, charetans as well. You have money you will give people that tell you they can perform miracles, even without showing you. They are simply providing the supply to your demand.

The fact that he moved from Christian to New Age, just as new age was becomming highly marketable, is, imho, proof positive of that.

For me to believe this claim it would require verification from an outside source.

I know the "abscense of evidence is not evidence of absence", but I'm not exaggerating when I say the doctor who treated Morris would have won the nobel prize.

The media has no need to collaborate with him. Network and print media are more interested in economics than in journalistic integrety, and the power of his story could have increased their incredulity.

Psychic, ghost, and other absolutly unscientific ideas are printed in the media all the time. Freedom of Speech is not a quality control, hence why scientific literature has a VERY rigorous process by which articles can be published. Mens health magazine does not.

But further, the "similar" stories that you list below are individuals who are ALL associated with "the Secret". This doesn't set off alarm bells for you? The only people who have access to this type of story or experience are people trying to sell you a DVD and an ideology? hmmmmm

These stories are 1) a misdiognosis 2) individual difference in immune response (ie: natural healing process) 3) random chance 4) lies

Thank you for sharing this information!

I first heard about Morris when I watched "The Secret," and I had to know more! I have since met him, interviewed him, and adapted his autobiography into a screenplay! You that you can check out the information for my upcoming film, "The Miracle Man," at miraclemanfilmcom. We are currently running a crowdfunding campaign - you can find the link on our page. I would really love it if you would check out the page, and watch all of the videos. (I'm especially fond of the one with Dee Wallace!)

Once you check out the page, you'll understand that I am not asking you to make a contribution just to help me. I have realized in the past month that this project is much, much bigger than me - this is a film that truly has the potential to inspire the world to create their own miracles! And so I ask you to please support the project at this time for all of the benefit that this film might bring to the world. Any contribution will help - no donation is too small, or too large! =^D

Also you should know that we are partnered with From The Heart Productions as a fiscal sponsor, which makes any contribution tax-deductible, and while it's too late to get your tax write-offs in for 2013, it's not too soon to start them for 2014!

If you can't make a contribution right now, know that the campaign will go on until the beginning of February, so if you have to wait, that's fine.

Also, please, please, please spread the word by sharing the links and videos via e-mail and/or your preferred social media, but also tell people directly what you feel about this project, and why you choose to contribute to it. I'll reward you for your referrals as well!

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you so much for your support!

Wishing you a blessed, abundant 2014!

Namaste,
Brian Jude
