Re: Louise Hay, Heal Your Body from A-Z

its a good thing the word probable is used often by louise hay because its important to remember that theories and beliefs are not facts. if one fails to discern this major difference one remains as blind as those who 'believe' they will go to heaven and get 72 virgins in return for all the suffering they have caused.

likewise the theory that a 'particular' emotion is the root cause of a 'particular' dis-Ease doesn't make sense because its obvious (if one looks around) that ALL (average) human beings are experiencing that particular emotion to varying degrees on a daily basis, yet all do not suffer that particular disease. likewise plenty of people are narcissistic (love themselves) or have every reason to think well of themselves but still suffer the same particular disease.

emotions are emotions period. their difference in degree is not a difference in kind. all emotions (good or bad) jerk the nervous system around. if you look deeply enough you'll discover your greatest fear is not fear itself, but the effect it has on the body. we are only ever 'directly' afraid of our own physical responses.

at some stage or other, variations of every emotion run riot to varying degrees in (almost) all of us causing every kind of discomfort and illness ...until one day... in desperation we finally choose to look deeper and find the root cause of all emotional reactions.

the fact is there can be no peace and freedom from dis ease if one keeps using the same ol' tried and failed emotional carrot (love) or stick (anger/frustration) approach. we only STILL struggle today - even worse - because manipulating (trying to control) the emotions is never a *permanent* solution. eventually they throw about *again* like a tiny boat without an oar on a choppy sea.

um... perhaps its time to bark up a different tree?

to become peace and freedom from disease and emotional distress [once and for all] one must find out what is at the root of ALL emotions (not just the bad but the good also) because only then can one ascertain whether they truly are cast in *actual* stone, or whether they (shock horror;-) can be deleted like software.

other peoples theories can't/don't do this fundamental research for you. only you can look into into what makes you tick (or why you don't *want* to - hint; same source). if you don't want to then youre quite free to remain ill and ignorant and keep dragging this planet down with you while lamenting that you are powerless (those of us in freer societies ) and that life is a vale of tears.

but for those who do want to live benign free lives for their own health and well being of the whole planet there is only one way to do it and that is to LOOK deeper than the surface emotions and examine their root source; the deeper instinctual passions that we share with all sentient animals. this root of the human condition takes guts to examine and leads to a mutation of the human brain which then becomes free of any need to control or be controlled. one is then finally sensible and *out 'from' control* (not out 'of' control) permanently.

...in preparation for this great feat, this great leap to freedom that no other instinctively driven animal can do (and few humans so far) the human brain has evolved.

P.S. no religion required, just a return to one's senses which requires the use of an instinct stronger than SELF survival (altruism). for this brave act of sincere inquiry ends something destructive but held most dear (senseless emotional reactivity) and the body is then released from their tyranny and full health mental and physical restored *permanently* for the benefit of everyone and everything on the planet, not just oneself.

peace be you
