Concerning Death

How many times have you gone to a funeral and asked your Self, “Why did such a wonderful person have to die at such a young age?” Perhaps, the person was older, and you still wondered why they had to leave you.

Most untimely deaths could have been prevented. It is each individual’s right to decide if they are going to be sick or well. We do owe it to each person to aid them to move out of non-awareness of the causal factors of illness. In this way should they decide to become well and whole, they will have the tools at their disposal to do so.

Sometimes cancer kills, sometimes it doesn’t. Many people have hepatitis and it doesn’t kill them. Why do some people contract an illness and it kills them, while others come down with the same illness, recover and live for many years?

Now, with this revolutionary book, people can know why they are dying. Also friends and relatives can know, not just believe, why a loved one is dying. Consequently, you achieve peace of mind. You know the cause and can do your best to aid the individual.

Life is meant to be one vast learning opportunity. Restrictive attitudes will over time reduce the learning both in quality and in quantity of time allowed for maturing. Gaining a knowledge of the mind and its mental effect on the body will give control to any person willing to invest a little time and energy into Self growth and Self improvement.

Instead of viewing life’s new experiences as something painful to be avoided, perceive obstacles as challenges. Embrace the freedom of opportunity and free will with anticipation and excitement toward learning and growth that will cause there to be a sense of connection, completeness and relationship with others.

Appreciate the connectedness one has with all life. Be aware of the true essence of the Self and cause a blossoming of the inner Self into the outward life. Then will a great experience of peace and contentment be discovered.

Another benefit of knowing the attitudes that cause physical illness is awareness of the thinking process of world leaders. Anytime you read a newspaper and find out a world leader is ill then you can discern the restrictive thinking creating this illness. When the president of this country comes down with the common cold you realize he is being indecisive and needs to make a decision. An awareness of the causal factors behind world events proceeding from world leaders can be a source of great satisfaction as well as giving the inside track on investments.

Recognize that health is a state of mind and more importantly it is a specific state of mind. Death occurs when the thought-attitude-thinking becomes so restrictive that learning no longer occurs. Now there is hope, for this book brings the evolutionary educational process for the Self recovery of a more expansive and abundant life.




Love

I honestly believe and have come to know that love is more powerful than hate. I have seen sharing and teaching that is given with love continue on and on. I have seen seemingly powerful individuals who fell victim to hate, destroy themselves and much of their environment.

Love lasts. Love sustains. Love gives, and gives and gives. In the end love always receives. In the uninhibited giving through the laws of the universe, time, effort, and energy given freely with the best of intentions will return in abundance to the giver.

Never forget this: what you give freely, with the best of intentions, with love, will return to you and you will prosper both in health and wealth as well as friendship.

What is a friend? How do you recognize a true friend? How shall a true friend be known? How can you be certain when true friendship exists? The answer is this. A friend is a person who aids or helps you fulfill inner desires. This does not mean accumulating all the possessions in the world. This does entail aiding another person along the road of life and helping them in their learning and growth. It means teaching and giving to others the valuable lessons of life you have discovered and found to be true. For truly, as you help others to lead a happier, healthier existence, you help yourself to the same. You, the giver, the teacher, however, now reach a higher level of learning and existence for there is truth to the old adage, he who teaches learns.

As you learn to give and teach and pass on what you are learning, you gradually become a world server, a world class teacher. This is a Master teacher of the highest order for you are teaching the Master Subject: Mind, Self and the uplifting of humanity.

True love for all humanity is experienced when we create avenues to give to all humanity. Through giving and teaching, the state of awareness on the whole planet is improved and progression towards enlightenment occurs.

Begin each day by loving your Self. End each day by loving your Self. Share your love and giving in between, all day long. You will find your world opens to you and your capacity to receive increases 10-fold, over and over.

Love to give by recognizing that what you give forth freely will return freely with interest. The energy of the universe is never wasted. Nothing is ever wasted by nature. Therefore, do not waste your time, energy, thoughts, money, or health by hoarding. Rather, give freely of your time and attention to the individuals of the universe and it will return to you in abundance.

This is the most important point to keep in mind and practice in order to overcome the disorders mentioned in this book. There are specific mental causes for the physical disorders given. Recognize and be aware of your intention at all times. Make sure it is a productive intention and live life to the fullest.

Communication for Healing

Once a person has experienced or suffered mental, emotional, or physical pain, the result is trauma. Some people carry this trauma with them for the rest of their life allowing it to interfere with the correct and accurate perception of people, places, objects, and experiences in the present.

This attachment to trauma inhibits learning for the individual continues to relive the past through memory which clouds the present day experiences. In order to release this trauma or pain, it must be brought to the surface where it can be examined in the light of awareness. The trauma must be discussed, for the first step to permanent healing is communication.

As you describe the source of pain, the mental and emotional hurts are identified more specifically. Eventually, the cause is perceived and correction begins. A mental attitude was begun by your Self and formed over time. Therefore, it will require time and effort to adjust the thinking to a more productive mode. The length of time will be determined by the amount of effort expended in correction. The correction will, however, be worth every bit of effort many times over.

We often hide behind words. We use them or misuse them as a facade to hide our true thoughts.

I have known many people who have used the word perfect as a way of punishing themselves. They have been taught since childhood that they are supposed to be perfect. Yet, they are not perfect. Therefore, these people must condemn themselves, hurt themselves and be angry with themselves, in their own mind. In short, they think they are bad because they are not perfect. Let’s take a look at the word perfect. If you are perfect, how could you change? For if you are perfect there is nothing more to do or to learn which is nothing more than stagnancy or non-change or non-growth. Without growth there is no life. Death occurs when there is no learning or no growth.

The ideas and thoughts of Self need to be brought out into physical expression in some form. The more one sacrifices their desires and ideas in order to be accepted by others, the farther and farther one will move from their own true thoughts and in time such a person will forget who they really are. There is no such thing as the perfect word or a perfect expression. So instead of striving for perfection and punishing Self when you are less than perfect, place the attention on adding to the productive qualities and value you already have. No one can ever be perfect for our universe is one of continual change and motion. Identify with forward motion and growth and you will lead a happy and satisfying life.

The Body is a Feedback System for the Mind

As amazing as it seems the mind has provided for our needs. Whenever one can ask a question, there is an answer. A question most everyone has asked sometime in their life is, “Why did this happen to me?” This question usually follows a traumatic experience. One of the most devastating experiences we can encounter is that of ill health. Suddenly we find ourselves to one degree or another immobile. Even the common cold can be a very bothersome experience.

To get about fulfilling the duties and joys of life, we need a healthy, well functioning body-vehicle. If we want to walk a distance we need feet, legs, hips and lungs that function efficiently. When we eat, we need to have a mouth, throat, teeth, tongue, stomach, and intestines that work efficiently. When we use a typewriter, we expect our eyesight, hearing, sense of touch and coordination to serve us well. When we lift an object, we expect to have strong muscles, back vertebrae in good shape and in alignment, with joints and ligaments in working order.

The body is such an advanced, elaborate, and specific feedback mechanism that it provides clues and answers even to mental and emotional pain and anguish. The body is so specific in its language that it lets any person know the exact mental attitude that is holding back their progression and causing the pain.

For example, the common cold may be used to inform one of the need to make a decision and stop doubting one’s own ability. Kidney stones and difficulty in the urinary system point to the need to stop living in the perceived failures of the past and the need to concentrate on creating success in the present. Difficulties with the liver signal a need to start valuing yourself and create a purpose for living. Difficulties in the area of the pancreas signal the need to give more of yourself in time, energy, and friendship to others. Difficulties with the heart and circulatory system signal the need to be responsible for your own life and your own desires. Disorders within the eliminatory system communicate a need to release the past, to cease holding old memory pictures of pain or worry from the past and instead to focus on the future becoming more productive in the present.

The question has been asked, “If what you say is true, that we do in fact cause our own physical illnesses or dis-ease through the action of our attitudes then does this mean I am a bad or terrible person? After all, why would I do such a terrible thing to myself?” The answer is: need for awareness, lack of education, or ignorance concerning this area of knowledge. In the years to come this knowledge will become available to the entire world and there will be general awareness concerning it.

The major point to realize is that no matter where you are concerning your physical health, there can be a possibility of improvement. Some, upon reading the mental attitude that causes the physical disorder will say, “but I am not like that.” My suggestion to those people is to practice watching their thoughts for one week. Write down and keep a list of every negative thought you have during that week. Write about each anger, fear, doubt, worry, guilt, condemnation, jealousy or manipulation thought you experience. List every I can’t, I shouldn’t, I won’t, I haven’t. In short, list all the not’s, all the negations, all the limitations placed on Self by Self for one week. Also list all the times you use the word but. For but also negates.

At the end of the week you will begin to perceive your mental restrictions and have enough data to begin to isolate the area of restriction for your Self. This is the attitude disorder causing illness.

Permanent Healing

This book would not be complete without a discussion of those unconscious factors that figure into an individual’s personality.

We have received training from our parents and environment through our early years, but we have not looked to see why certain factors occur.

There is an old story told of the mother who always cut off the end of her roast before she placed it in the oven. Her daughter learned from her mother to cut the end of the roast off before cooking. The daughter then taught this roast-cutting to her daughter. One day the daughter’s daughter’s husband asked her, “Why do you always cut off the ends of your roast?” She said, “Well, that is the way my mother always did it.” So then she went to her mother and asked her the same question to which her mother replied, “Well, I don’t know, because that is the way my mother always cooked roast.” So then the daughter and mother went to the grandmother and asked, “Why do you always cut the ends off your roast beef before you put it in the oven?” The answer from the grandmother was, “Because the whole time you were growing up I always had a small roasting pan and the roast would not fit in the pan unless I cut the ends off.”

The answer is they were performing this habitual behavior of cooking roast without understanding the reason or purpose for it. The average person operates this way to one degree or another most of the time.

Imagine this one instance, then reflect back on 18 years of infancy, adolescence, and striving towards adulthood before you moved out on your own. All this time you were being influenced and trained in limited ways of thinking by parents and, to a lesser degree, others in your environment. You begin to see the tremendous effect your physical family had on your ways of thinking whether or not you choose to think that way consciously, reasoningly, and willfully. Then include your schooling, your church, organizations, community, and you can also see the tremendous influence on the way you lead your life, act and react now as an adult. You are in many ways formed by the way you are trained by those around you, consciously or unconsciously on their part. This training is habitual or willful to the degree of their limitations and awareness.

When we begin the study of the Self, we begin to recognize those factors that are not reasonable or sensible anymore. There are certain reactions that cause specific unpleasantness in our lives.

We begin to ask our Selves, “Would a different way cause greater learning and growth? Would I be happier and enjoy my life? Would my life be more satisfying and fulfilling? Would I grow and learn and change and add to myself, evolving more?” These are important questions to ask. We are continually reacting to what someone says or the way a person acts or a certain type of person. We just can’t stand the way they say things.

You begin to think about this and say to your Self, “Why do I react to this? Why do I get embarrassed about certain situations and no one else does? Why do I get angry in certain situations and no one else does?”

These angers, resentments, guilts, fears, doubts, and worries will point us to areas where there is a desire to gain further and greater learning about ourselves. They also indicate the need for a more disciplined mind.

As you are reading through this compilation, this glossary of attitudes and disease/illnesses, you will see the physical illness and then the mental disorder. An emotional reaction to your environment, is also an indication of dis-ease or a dis-order that will point the way to the desire or need to learn. In many of these cases, you will read in the glossary about an attitude and then in my suggestions I will say this comes from a fear or doubt or limitation. When you see this, you will begin to recognize your own reactions and the way they become apparent. For example, Self hate is the cause of cancer. Many times this hate is directed outward to the environment as a hatred for someone else or to many people in the environment. When the hatred becomes very strong it develops into a hatred for almost everyone. Perhaps, you see the whole world as your enemy.

Self condemnation is the attitude that is a factor in bringing about kidney stones in the body. You may remember a time when you felt guilt or remorse for something you said to someone. Your condemnation was the indication of an attitude needing to be changed. Instead of mentally beating your Self, you create compassion and love for healing to occur.

These types of reactions are our clues. They indicate areas where we lack Self control. When we have reactions, it is important to look at why we have them, where we formulated them, why we carry them around with us, and what we need to do to change them into a more productive way of thinking and living.

At this point look over the different attitudes and dis-eases/illnesses. Be aware of people in your environment. Look for other examples demonstrating how most people are unconscious of their own reactions and the way they react to everyday situations. You will notice that many times people don’t have enough attention on their thoughts to see the source of their reactions or how they can change them.
