Thoughts are Things

I first heard about the School of Metaphysics when a friend from college arranged for a Health Analysis to be done for me as a birthday gift. Deborah knew about the Intuitive Analysis consultations because she had been taking classes at the center in Chicago. I had seen many changes in her expression during that time. She appeared to be softer, more loving. She was calmer and had come to terms with the anger she had carried for many years. When I asked Deborah what was going on, she said she was learning about how thoughts manifest in the physical world. I asked her how long she planned on taking courses at the School and she replied, "Until I get my Doctorate." All I could do was mentally roll my eyes because I knew Deborah's tendency to move from one stimulating venture to another. But now I was receiving a Health Analysis from that School.

I wasn't physically present when my intuitive analysis was done although I was aware of the time it was scheduled. In my imagination I could see this woman in a trance-like state in a room filled with other people. I knew there was no way Deborah could have told the Intuitive Reporter anything about me because the Intuitive Reporter was arriving in Chicago that day. I was skeptical, but game for the experience. Not being present for the intuitive report eased any apprehensions I had.

I noted what was going on in my world at the time the intuitive report was to take place so I could verify any information that was given. I was unsure of this whole experience wanting to see if these people would give useful insight. At the time of the Intuitive Health Analysis, I was at my place of employment working with a woman who was very scattered. She would appear very busy but accomplish little. Because of her tunnel vision, I had to work twice as hard so my day was frustrating and I had a very large headache.

Later that day I listened to the cassette tape of my intuitive report. This is how it began:

"This one is feeling quite annoyed at this point. We do see her reacting very spontaneously to the point where she can become easily motivated, stimulated, or annoyed. We see this one quite impatient at this point. We see a certain amount of disdain for the activity at hand, and this one is feeling unappreciated and not particularly enjoying what she is doing. We see her to feel restricted in her freedom at this time and does not feel satisfied. We see there is a need for this one to use the present activity as a stepping stone to something higher or better within her own recognition. As long as she is resenting it she is not getting any betterment from it.

We do see that there is a need for a formulation of a goal for herself, for we see her to be living from day-to-day without any sense of purpose. We do see that if she were then to formulate a goal, and use whatever activity at hand there is to create a respect for self in achieving that goal, she can more efficiently experience life.

We see this one feels some resentment towards another individual at this time. In fact, there are several. This one becomes angry when she feels that others are not agreeing with her ideals and yet she is not really clear on what her ideals are. We do see that there is a desire for experiencing harmony in all situations and she tends to take it very personally when there is not total agreement at all times. We do see that there is a part of herself that desires to express anger at these moments, but we do see that she will not give herself permission to express anger and thus there would be a tendency to hold inside self the annoyance she experiences and become involved in a self pity attitude."

When I first heard this intuitive analysis its accuracy shocked me. I knew there was something to these reports and this School because this woman had just revealed my innermost secrets. She was speaking thoughts only I knew I had because I had never told anyone. I had just moved back to Chicago having spent four structured years away at college, and now I didn't know what I wanted to do. She continued with the analysis, describing physical conditions that I was experiencing in my digestive system and even describing what foods caused the most discomfort. I was convinced that there was a great deal of truth and value in these reports and in this organization. I at least began to consider the idea that there was truth to the mind and body connection.

Soon after receiving this analysis, I began taking classes in the study of the mind at the School of Metaphysics. I wanted to learn how I could change some of those inharmonious attitudes and thoughts into ones that would cause me to feel joy and peace. I also wanted to experience something I felt very little - love. In the classes I learned that unexpressed thoughts of guilt, resentment or even indecisiveness produce physical diseases and disorders. I also learned how to correct those attitudes in myself as well as others. For there to be health and wholeness, thoughts need positive direction to cause forward motion. This was important to me because at the age of 22 I still experienced the acne condition I had had since entering puberty.
