Re: Shadows and Deafness (edited)
i totally understand your feeling that what Louise Hay says doesn't resonate in this instance--so often when I fist read her I would feel that, esp. when it was something that concerned 'me'. :-) so much easier to see it all working for everyone else...
I think her work is difficult to 'enter', as it were,
without either being able to constantly return to a place of submission* (to her guidance) which, as you make clear, is not really your way, when it gets personal... or, putting yourself in a place of pure curiosity, minus any 'weight' of havng to take on what she says-- are you hearing any resonance in these words?
If it's related to other life issues yes, but not the deafness issue. I feel Louise Hay is wrong on this one. I see this statement about deafness easily observed on the people who experience partial hearing loss be in one ear or both ears later in life. I see it also in my roommate and he exhibits the same traits the statement tells about.
I don't have any problems accepting the other statements in her book about my other life issues I have.
"Whenever I think about my deafness I feel I've been wronged. Also I do feel frustration that I'm not accepted for who/what I am."
let's say it were not you speaking these words: don't they translate fairly easily and understandably to "I don't want to hear" (you, particular others, whoever.)
You think I don't want to hear?
anyway. I emphasize. I'm guessing you have worked hard to do most things yourself, but I wonder if you've ever contacted Andreas.
Andreas who?
