If you won't mind I will print this and pass it on to my 22 year old grandson. His life is to overwelming at this time for him to cope. He does not have any real physical problems, only mental blocks!Last week he took an overdose because to him life is to hard. We have tried to tell him about making choices and accepting responsibility for them. This is the true nature of life. I wrestle with the fact that some people "get it" while others never will!<BR/>You truely GET IT---Peace to YOU!<BR/>JeanguAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-1149526952180691012006-06-05T18:02:00.000+01:002006-06-05T18:02:00.000+01:00I agree with you that we can cause our own ill hea...I agree with you that we can cause our own ill health by our thinking-obesity is one obvious one.<BR/><BR/>However, I find her book simplistic, damaging and it encourages an unhalthy way of thinking -that we have control where do not.<BR/><BR/>For exmaple she says AIDS is a disease brought about by gay people as an expression of their self hatred. I find that offensive and entriely ignorant. Especially as AIDS is far far more prevelent in the heterosexual population.<BR/>bw<BR/>colin<BR/>ps a dear friend of mine, who was alovley, compassionate, peaceful person died of pancreatic cancer.

He and my mother convinced themselves that if he could only believe ENOUGH that his kidneys would get better, they would . Of course, this did not happen and he then had to struggle with this 'belief' not having been ~strong enough~....a personal failure! <BR/><BR/>I do think that in their case the problem was the way they chose to interpret the idea presented. (Free will, innit!) I eventually managed to get him to see that the way to 'heal his life' was to be found in HOW he approached his illness and can only say how incredibly proud I am - and always will be - of the way he subsequently dealt with it. But not everyone has a bossy big sister who is like a terrier after a rat in the face of a problem!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-1149415995302265752006-06-04T11:13:00.000+01:002006-06-04T11:13:00.000+01:00Well said Colin..when I had Holly I wanted to stay...Well said Colin..when I had Holly I wanted to stay at home it was no scarifice ( far from it) it was scary at times ( I was a nervous Mum ). I loved the books ,the paints ,the mud trailed in from the garden by Hols and the cat .It was an enriching experience to say the least .I grind my teeth often over some woman talking about scarificing her career .Your beautiful dogs must enrich so many lives along with your own .I still love staying at home .I'm my own boss and I enjoy cooking for Jeff as I realise his work is often tedious but gives me this wonderful freedom.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682192644358462559noreply@blogger.com
