Re: In A Nightmare
you can learn not to suffer your suffering. a panic attack is a form of psychological cruelty inflicted on the body by the emotional psyche. if one sincerely wishes to become well, it helps not to inflict emotional suffering on top of the physical discomfort that the body is already being subjected to. panic, fear, anxiety, worry are forms of torture inflicted on the body by the emotional self that constantly needs to control and validate its non-tangible existence.
the emotional self bullies the body, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing mercilessly shocking the nervous system then wailing wo-is-me as tho the body is to blame. it should be the reverse, body rules, except body is naturally cooperative and would never ruin its health via dominance the way the non-actual, unintelligent emotional self does.
but at last this flesh and blood brain is learning to treat the *actual* body with the commonsense and harmlessness of a carer looking after an innocent life form. something the emotional egotistical me,me,me (from the look of the planet) is obviously not into. this brain has learned that the emotional me is dream. its a self-glorifying psyche that believes (ha!) that after thousands of years of emotional violence, an invisible controlling psychological emotional entity can bring health, yet it never has. its useless controlling has brought nothing but metaphysical nonsense and neglect of the body.
the best part is, this *actual brain* has a life-line, intelligence, which - when the emotional self isn't elbowing it out of the way - can learn (yep thats right *learn* :) to release the selfish grip the emotional-oh-so-DIVINE-crystal-ball-gazing-self-adoring-primal-me has on the actual harmless body.
if it weren't for this marvelous life saving intelligence there would be no hope for humanity. the brain would be forced to remain an emotional sentimental/violent fairyland freak forever never coming to its senses.
so in the days when the emotional me ruled the body with an iron fist and made it ill i would fast by coasting on intelligent purpose, calm harmlessness, its so much more fun, productive and sense-sational.
