question about your post

I like your posts and your method. I am on a healing path and know the body can cure itself. when you say some people "need" their illnesss to learn and grow> how do they know how long they need it? for instance what is the point of trying different things when people keep saying they need the illneesss to learn something. I am trying to heal myself and keep running into this concept... I am confused. I thought I could heal myself of anything and anybody can. this seems almost like a limiting belief as you could say she needed the illness for life lesssons. what lessons??? how long???? how does one know this could go on for x number of years almost never ending as we are learning untill we die... it is limiting to say they needed it as that is open ended with no cure in sight as and seems almost futile to work on things as you are trying to grasp at an elusive lesson and never knowing what the lesson is. I like to look at it more like as a consequence of healing yourself you learn things and are naturally empowered. do you think that is what people are trying to say? otherwise the healing process seems almost depressing because you have no way of determining how long you "need" the illnness. any thoughts? healing
