Re: Are your Wormies Reptilian Extraterrestrials?

Wow, this thread really blossomed and it's going to take some time for me to read through it all. Thanks axpr for taking the time to share all these observations, which are giving me much to think about. I'm sorry if anyone felt persecuted or judged by my lack of rapport, but what I was referring to about vibration and absorbing "problems" was a vulnerability for vicarious traumatization, which can be a consequence of empathic identification with a person who is ill or believes they are ill. At some point you HAVE to break rapport or everyone homogenizes to the same degree of "illness" and that's not the desired outcome of association. I guess the appropriate time and place to do that is NOT in front of the individuals with whom you're breaking rapport, however.

About the emotional origins of physical symptoms... I'm obviously not going about this in any sort of scientific manner, and perhaps it WOULD be interesting to research the clinical writings on the subject, but what I'm getting intuitively is that the relation could be that hosting "emotional parasites" could predispose us to physical infestation by weakening our immune system in such a way that it helps foster a parasite-friendly environment. By this logic illness can be seen to have both a physical AND emotional etiology. Regardless of whether the emotional cause preceeded the physical cause, the physical manifestation still requires a physical treatment, but unless you additionally address the predisposing emotional antecedent the individual is still at risk of reinfection. I'm reminded of Diane Zimberoff's approach to weight loss, "Trim Life," where she teaches that people won't be sucessful losing weight and keeping it off until the emotional reasons for overeating are addressed.

What's happening for me here is that I'm seeing the need to distinguish the metaphor from the thing itself. There are physical parasites, there are emotional parasites, there are mental parasites, and each one has its own cure according to its own nature, and a comprehensive approach would take each one into account.
