Re: Confused about a statement .... Need help in understanding it.
Thank you for your observation.
However my Inner Being disagrees with your observations.
When I contemplate my deafness status (as in thinking and feeling about it), I feel good. That's it. But there's a desire within myself, quite strong that urges me to take action to heal my deafness. When I add my desire to my present state I feel an upsurge of energy, and with that a better feeling. This is my contrast that creates this rocket of desire.
Consider for a moment: what if the medication wasn't given to my mother, and I would have been born dead, would I still be here being a contrast in your life or not, indirectly thru internet or directly as a person face in face? Look at the last example in the book "The Astonishing Power of Emotions".
In fact I consider that being born alive and with a disability is a blessing in a disguise. However out of it comes the desire to heal my deafness since I don't like struggles. Any form of struggle is just blocking my access to joy I want to experience.
The state of isolation could offer me joy, but the more and more I dwell on it, I find it harder to digest.
The more I think about the metaphysical statement from Louise Hay's book, the more it feels upstream to me.
These are just my observations borne out of my communication with my Inner Being.
