Without Spiritual Intelligence

With Spiritual Intelligence

They lose their sense of identity in things like, nationality, race,

colour, position and then become fearful and/or angry when any of these false

identities are threatened.

They never lose their sense of self, their identity, in anything external

and they know that race, gender, nationality, belief system etc are simply

labels and not what ‘I Am’.

They blame others when things go wrong because they fear being seen as the

one who might be responsible because they fear losing their reputation or

position and therefore the approval of others.

They never blame others for anything and always accept responsibility for

their part, their actions. They don’t have anything to lose as they realise

they cannot own or possess anything. They don’t need the approval of others to

feel OK about themselves

They have become dependent on their job and pay for their sense of

security

They are free of all dependency as their sense of security comes from inside

out and not outside in. Their sense of security is based on their abilities,

strengths, talents and innate qualities as a human being i.e. what they can

give, not on what others give them.

They live to survive as they are still under the illusion that it’s

survival of the fittest, that you have to look after number one, because it’s

simply dog eat dog out there!

They live to serve others. They have realised that the only way to expand

their personal capacity to love is to give it, use it, in the service of others,

and as they do they are strengthened in the process and paradoxically have

greater value to others as a result.

They are easily disturbed and feel personally threatened by local and

global change

They are never disturbed by the changing world around them because that is

what the world does.

They still seek love and happiness from others and the world, and are

therefore still experiencing frequent disappointment (sadness and sorrow)

They have realised that what they seek in the world (peace, love and

contentment) are already within them and can never be lost e.g. the Mandella

experience.

They have a tendency to see work as a necessary evil, a place to go and

get money to pay the bills and buy a few pleasures

They see work as a place of creativity, self expression and learning where

money is a secondary reward or return for what is given

They have the tendency to see and treat people at work as objects to get

the job done, reach the goal, and achieve the targets. The task often comes

before the relationship

They see people at work as human beings with their own strengths,

weaknesses, concerns, needs and wants. Relationships always come before the

task

They tend to take life far too seriously because they believe business is

a serious business, thereby living in fear

They tend to take life lightly, as a game, an opportunity to play and

create, thus inducing a greater degree of lightness is what they do

>SOLUTION: Create a new way of thinking (crisis=opportunity or danger)

It was Hans Selye, MD who first scientifically showed that animals subjected

to stress undergo thymic atrophy (immune suppression), elevations in blood

pressure and serum lipids and erosion of the stomach lining (ulcers). Since then

literally thousands of human studies have demonstrated that an angry, stressed,

or depressed mind can lead to a suppressed immune system, which allows cancer

and infections to take over. Drs. Locke and Horning-Rohan have published a

textbook consisting of over 1300 scientific articles written since 1976 that

prove the link between the mind and the immune system.

We are finally beginning to accept what philosophers and spiritual leaders

have been telling us for thousands of years: the mind has a major impact on the

body and health. Proverbs 17:22 tells us " A joyful heart is good medicine, but a

broken spirit dries up the bones. " Over 100 years ago, observant physicians

claimed that significant life events might increase the risk for developing

cancer. In the 1800s, emotional factors were related to breast cancer, and

cervical cancer was related to sensitive and frustrated women. Loss of a loved

one has long been known to increase the risk for breast and cervical cancer.

When 2000 men were assessed and then followed for 17 years, it was found that

depression doubled the risk for cancer.

Researchers at the National Institute of Health, spearheaded by Candice Pert,

PhD, have investigated the link between catecholamines, endorphins and other

chemicals from the brain as they influence cancer. A reknowned researcher, Jean

Achterberg, PhD, has demonstrated a clear link between the attitude of the

cancer patient and their quality and quantity of life. In my years of

experience, about 90% of the cancer patients I deal with have encountered a

major traumatic event 1-2 years prior to the onset of cancer. This is especially

true of breast cancer patients. There is even a medical textbook on the subject

of " STRESS AND BREAST CANCER "

Not only can mental depression lead to immune suppression and then cancer, but

there may be a metaphorical significance to the location of the cancer. Divorced

women who lose a breast as they feel a loss of their feminity. One of my

patients developed cancer of the larynx a year after his wife left him. He tried

to get her to talk about it, but she said there was " nothing left to say " .

Your mind is probably the " lifeguard " that keeps cancer at bay, hence major

stress is literally inviting cancer into the body. The good news is that the

mind can be a powerful instrument at eliminating cancer. This is a frightening

or empowering concept, depending on how you chose to perceive it. The cancer

patient who knows that he or she can do something about getting well is more

likely to beat the disease. Helplessness and hopelessness are just as lethal as

cigarettes and bullets.

Norman Cousins cured himself of a painful collagen disease by using laughter

and attitude adjustment, along with high doses of vitamin C. Bernie Siegel, MD,

a Yale surgeon, noticed that certain mental characteristics in his cancer

patients were indicators of someone who would beat the odds: live each moment,

express yourself, value your dreams and maintain an assertive fighting spirit

against the disease. Carl Simonton, MD, a radiation oncologist, found that

mental imagery and other mind techniques vastly improved the results in his

cancer patients. In a National Cancer Institute study conducted at the

University of Texas, researchers were able to predict with 100% accuracy which

cancer patients would die or deteriorate within a two month period--strictly

based upon the patient's attitude. While tobacco products contain carcinogenic

substances, mentally handicapped people, many of whom smoke, experience a 4%

death rate from cancer, compared to 22% for the population at

large. Indeed, there may be a certain amount of bliss in ignorance.

Enkephalins and endorphins, also called " the mind's rivers of pleasure " , are

brain chemicals that are secreted when the mind is happy. Endorphins improve the

production of T cells, which improves the effectiveness of the immune system

against cancer and infections. Enkephalins increase the vigor of T-cells

attacking cancer cells as well as increasing the percentage of active T-cells.

Essentially, your immune system is a well orchestrated army within to protect

you against cancer and infections. And your mind is the four star general

directing the battle. Depending on your attitude, your mind either encourages or

discourages disease in your body.

The take-home lesson here is: you can take a soup bowl full of potent

nutrients to fight cancer while you are being treated by the world's best

oncologist; but if your mind is not happy and focused on the immune battle that

must occur, then the following program of nutrition will not be nearly as

effective as it should be.

We are all going to experience certain setbacks, losses and injustices in our

lives. How we react to these life stresses will play a major role in our health

and longevity. We all have to drive over the " bumps in the highway of life " .

Your " shock absorber system " is your coping ability that makes stressful events

less damaging to your well being.
