I think that cancer is a life form that exists out there, and it exists in us. I think even the concept of healing is a spiritual principle that we have to really look at. I think the word itself is something we ought to get rid of, because it implies that there is illness - that there is something wrong.
Interpretation
Cancer represents a part of existence that can teach us about healing and our relationship with wellness.
Wayne Dyer's quote suggests that cancer, rather than being just an illness, is a part of life's complexities that can inform our understanding of healing. The idea of healing transcends the medical; it is spiritual and about embracing the entirety of life, including its challenges, rather than simply labeling something as wrong.
In practice

My own eight children all march to the beat of their inner music, and in some cases, it is definitely far away from what I hear. I've had to honor their instincts and their choices, and merely guided them out of harm's way until they could be their own guides.
The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature -were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.
