FROM BILL: She’s talking about my three Life Principles Integration Process online courses. You can find out more at http://www.centerpointe.com/change or listen to a free preview lesson at http://www.centerpointe.com/life/preview.

It takes me a lot of time reading these threads in their entirety and reflecting both upon the questions raised and your responses. These are my observations: Your patience is worthy of great respect and admiration. Patience is clearly a problem for some who seem to have wearied searching for some desired result which has not yet occurred. However, your responses overlook this impatience without comment and you still offer up a carefully considered, tactful and gentle response I find endearing.

Being a student of alternative medicine and nutritional healing, I wish to point out an unhealthy body will often manifest first in an unhealthy mind. I used to think we could build health from either end – start with mind and a healing mind will learn to heal the body. Based upon your responses to seek professional help, I now think correction should begin with the body. The better known practitioners of alternative medicine who write publicly on this subject say the two most common causes of disease, mental or physical are toxemia and/or nutritional deficiency.

Many ill people do not have the desire for health required for self healing and must have an advocate to act on their behalf. As a beginning advocate for another, I would first borrow or buy a book of alternative or natural healing which has at least one chapter dealing with the specific health issue I was researching. If there is not sufficient information to begin a course of home therapy, there may be referrals to literature that treats the problem in greater depth and gives more comprehensive advice. There is an explosion of such information being published and one should only need to do a few hours of reading to find a starting point. Observation of results or no results and additional study will often bring very satisfactory resolutions in less than a year’s time and often in days or weeks.

I was recently advocating for my recently widowed 87 year old mother. Bordering on senility which I was successfully treating nutritionally, she grew impatient after 6 weeks and fired me. In home nursing care staffers had noted dramatic improvement for the 4 or 5 weeks they were monitoring. But mom decided she was making no progress at all and fired me. “I am an old woman and I’m going to eat whatever I want and take whatever dietary supplements I want – now leave me alone.” Since she had been depressed prior to my firing as advocate and discussing suicide, I cannot be sure if this is an intentional suicide because she cannot handle the change in her life.

Holosync is now my hope there is time to create new neural pathways in a very toxic mind and body. Even if such pathways are quickly established, there is no guarantee she will consent to any additional therapy, such as physical detox. However, if she only felt better from the Holosync experience for the months she has remaining, I will have accomplished some good for her. Whether I can convince her to wear earphones while reading her large print romance novels is another question that remains to be answered. I will know in a week or so.

FROM BILL: Sounds like a delusional belief to me. The chances are greater that you will be hit by lightening three times. You’re probably proving that nothing will ever really work out for you, or something like that. If you don’t win the lottery (or should I say WHEN), what will you say to yourself? “I knew it, ________.” That’s the belief. Instead of waiting for a something-for-nothing possibility, why not find some way to serve others? When you do that, money comes to you.

Just a question: Do you have centerpoint-institutes in order countries? Couldn’t this be interesting ?

Best regards form Norway,

Enjoyed the post as usual.

You mentioned earlier that before birth thre was nothingness and after death nothingness.

In individual terms I agree with this. But, what about oneness with the Universe. I like to feel that I am everything and nothing, that we are all one and so forth.

How can something come from nothing, surely there is something happening here outside of our limited comprehension.

Any more thoughts on this?

Col

FROM BILL: I have two comments. First, nothing is the other side of the “something” coin. Just as solids need space, darkness needs light, up needs down, and life needs death (none of these make any sense or can exist without the other side of the coin), something needs nothing. Something DOES come from nothing, and returns to it. “Nothing,” though, isn’t what people think it is. Nothing is pregnant with something.

Second, I think you may be assuming the you, Col, are everything–you, the separate self. When mystics say that you are everything they really mean that there is only one thing–that splitting the universe into separate things and events is an illusion, a mental construct. Separate things and events are ideas, and no such thing exists intrinsically. It’s handy to mentally chop things up into separate things, but in reality, none exist. So you, Col, are not everything. Everything is everyting. What you think of as Col is a wave in the ocean, but a wave isn’t a separate entity. Really, all there is (in this metaphor) is the ocean. To mentally slice off part of it and call it a “wave” is an idea. So there’s one thing, and you’re it, by the you that’s “it” isn’t Col. Everything, all together, is it. The separate you is just an idea, so the idea of Col can’t be everything, and the organism you call Col can’t be everything, either.

FROM BILL: More Holosync will help. Speak from the voice of openness, and the voice of the one who is closed. Speak from the one who knows when to be closed and when to be open. Speak from the one who has been traumatized. Speak from the one who is pristine and unharmed. Speak from the one who is open, vulnerable, and comfortable with people.

FROM BILL: If you have any doubt, see a qualified psychotherapist.

OK, take certain types of bears for example. It’s in their programming to hibernate.

I just wonder if there are specific DNA sequences in humans that steer us towards meditation.

If humans actually DO have a genetic predisposition, then meditation wouldn’t be an ‘accident’ in my eyes.

If we have NO pre-wired programming at all for meditation, then I’d consider meditation a chance occurance, an ‘accident’ that humans stumbled upon.

I know it’s an unusual question. Any hunches?

FROM BILL: Whatever we do, some of it is genetic, some is learned, some is random. Become more consciously aware, and the question will disappear because you’ll know just what to do. Many people want to theorize about these things. I’d rather see you find out experientially, and the only way to do that is to become more aware, which is what Holosync is for.
