HELPLESSNESS
The person says: “I don’t agree with the way things are being done (whether in the home, local area, church, state, nationally or globally) but I’m only one voice, what can I do? I feel really frustrated by my inability to set things right, there’s a lot of unfairness, and some things really piss me off, especially close to home, but it’s much more peaceful just to keep quiet and hope things will improve. I hate scenes. No-one is going to listen to me, anyway.” This helplessness is a false belief, deeply ingrained since time began and sustained in the mass of people by all who want to keep others subjected to their will, effectively crippling life. |
LOW SELF WORTH
The person says: “My ideas, my skills are not as good as the next person’s. I am not educated well enough. I must always listen to others who are better trained and experts and therefore, know better than I do. What they say must be right, even when they tell me I’m no good; it must be true, and no-one will convince me otherwise. I must prove myself the best before I’ll believe I’m OK.” This is another deeply ingrained belief that must be overcome if we are to advance. The Direction of Cure for mankind involves bringing our intuition into equal power with our intellect. |
OVER-RESPONSIBILITY
The person says: “It’s my fault. I caused this problem.” Or, he may say: “I’m the one who must solve this problem, it’s up to me to find the answer and put things right. I can carry any load and will carry all the responsibilities of those around me.” As practitioners, we all think this way at times. We joined the helping professions out of a desire to help others fix their health problems, and it often seems that a patient appears stubbornly unresponsive to all our treatment ideas. The patient, also, is a person who will keep trying to help himself, another or others, taking responsibility way beyond his right to do so, to the point of becoming heavily overloaded with guilt at not being able to effect much change. |
LACK OF FAITH IN SELF
This common belief is: ”I need support. Who or what will support me? Who will provide for me? I crave independence but can’t see how I can ever get it. I feel I will always need something or someone to boost me up. I can’t manage without some sort of crutch. I need...” Addiction is not much different from dependency. Often the psychology behind both is the same. We live in a time of increasing dependency on government pensions, welfare agencies, charity handouts, medical and antisocial drugs, wheelchairs, parents. Why? Conditions resulting from this belief manifest in three ways, but not all three ways will show in the one person. |
GUILT OF GRIEF AND REGRET
This person eventually admits to a sense of sadness, disappointment or regret, with respect to one or several major incidences. A long-held sense of grief over an ambition never achieved, a plan foiled or stymied by obstacles or events beyond one’s control - no words about it ever come out of the patient unless you ask specifically. This is a suppressed and often barely conscious grief that is undermining the person’s vitality and holding him back from great achievements he has yet to imagine. But when you ask about regrets, yes, then a flood pours out. Guilt over lack of joy causes this to be suppressed, and this guilt lodges in the bone marrow. Interstitial fluid and white blood cells are affected, specifically in reducing the production of eosinophils, the producers of antihistamines that destroy antigens, and in the suppression of lymphatic functions. |
GUILT / FEAR OVER LETTING GO
This person says: ”I must hang on at any price. I will hold on to the bitter end, whatever happens, even if it kills me, I will not give in or give up. Also, loyalty is more important than anything.” Such tenacity is admirable but can be carried to a detrimental extreme. It is holding on to a past situation or relationship, a loved one who has died, an idea or understanding that is inappropriate or in any other way resisting change can bring us into disharmony with the ever-changing energies of life. Rigidity is not a part of the natural condition. There is also an element of fear that says ‘something terrible may happen to me if I let go or loosen my grip’. |
