A New Channeling on Body Image an Alternative Answer

Body Dismorphic Disorder

by

Michel through David Reid Lowell

 

Greetings to all our friends and loved ones within this reality and

all other realities. Time again we are asked about body images.

There is one pervasive undercurrent and that is body dismorphic

disorder which is psychological and neuro-biologically caused. This

disorder is acquired. It can be a hereditary disorder or there can

be a latent causation that is put into action through how an

individual is taught to see themselves by those in their

environment. So we would say that this can be an acquired trait of

addiction through learned behavior.

 

Individuals who suffer from extreme sexual or emotional anxiety can

displace their feelings onto their appearance because they feel they

can manage their appearance and control their physical bodies when

they feel they have no control over other aspects of their life.

Feelings of sexual inadequacy and emotional inadequacy are usually

acquired over time caused by those who have positions of power or

control – family members and friends – over the individuals. And the

individuals feel they cannot meet that level of example or

expectation and that he or she may also be repelled by the

expectation that is placed on them. This can happen when younger

individuals know they do have the gender preference that is

expected, or the gender identity, or one parent or the other may be

overt with their sexuality and displays of emotional outburst.

One of the outward signs of early addiction displacement is

meticulous grooming. As time passes the grooming and attention to

self-details becomes a destructive behavior. This is an early

attempt for a younger individual to start manifesting control over

themselves when they feel they have no control over any other aspect

of their life.

 

Trying to gain a solid ground where they can feel better about

themselves actually leaves the individual feeling less complete and

through this process they will try to make themselves symmetrical.

This is when, over time, they begin to feel that one side of their

face or body is not the same as the other side and that they are not

symmetrical and, therefore, not balanced or attractive and again,

more importantly, not desirable. The concern becomes if they are not

desirable then how can anyone love them. But how could anyone love

them when they cannot love themselves? And this is the process of

addictive behaviors so they try to get themselves to match. They try

to get their separate physical halves to match and the

representational standard of this is that it is their psyche that is

fractured. " But if... " IF they can get the outside to match, either

physically or emotionally, then they can feel better on the inside.

Symmetry in mates is highly desirable and attractive because it is a

sexually based attraction that speaks to the survival of the

species. This is not gender preference or gender identity specific

because all individuals want to survive and survival is guaranteed,

or at least a protracted longevity is, if you can pair up with a

more dominant and superior individual. In animals, being beautiful,

symmetrical, balanced, fit and dominant signals fitness to procreate

and the ability to survive.

 

The survival instinct even in human beings is strong and humans

survive through their perception of controlled perfection. This

makes the individual feel superior and as if they have control over

their pain, flaws, or inferior aspects of self. If the individual

can control themselves, and what addict does not think they are in

control - and this is why control is an illusion – they have power

over their pain or flaws and through that perception of control they

feel like they can manage themselves or make that pain or flaw

totally disappear and usually their true self in the process.

Oftentimes, and more times than not, anorexia and bulimia are

confused with appearance dismorphic disorder.

 

The roles of victim and perpetrator are not a contractual pre-life

agreement that we support. In many cases and through life

circumstances such as these the victim and perpetrator become one in

the same. The nature of any form of addiction, self-medicating, self-

destructive or otherwise, is that the very same behavior you use to

survive it or control it in an attempt to mask it, making you think

you are healing it. It is the same behavior that keeps you connected

to the addiction.

 

Again we will share with you that the process of cellular

rejuvenation right now can be accomplished by the natural

stimulation of cellular activities through exercise, by artificial

stimulation through drug and chemical enhancement therapies, or by

introducing new cells that will divide and repair or replace the old

cells that were impaired or limited in their function as is the case

with current stem cell transplant therapies. But most importantly it

is through your THOUGHT, your thought that works on a quantum level

where multiple realities and probabilities exist. It is through this

quantum thought process that the potential exists for you to

actually reshape the physicality you know. At once and

simultaneously, thought creates many potential realities and they

can be shifted at any moment in time with nothing more than the

choice you make, yes, indeed.

 

The choice you make, the decision you make, the reaction you give

into at the moment of that realization, new probabilities

dimensionally manifest. What you believe is nothing more than an

illusion that has been reinforced. And like reinforced memories,

these beliefs become your reality.

 

Your feelings of love, anger, hatred and resentment can actually

manifest within your physical body releasing chemicals and

initiating cellular changes. Here are but a few examples. There can

also be too many cells and the overproduction of cells can impair

the aging process. With overweight people there can be a build up of

cells in subcutaneous tissues causing a potential for insulin

resistance. Some cells can build up because of proteins and impair

joint function and impair filtering organs. The other section of

cells that can build and become out of balance are the white cells

or cells that would relate to the immune system and the body's

defenses. This process of belief and quantum thought- projected

reality can play a key part in Crohn's Disease. Crohn's disease is a

chronic disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive tract; it

is usually diagnosed in the individual's early to mid teens.

Crohn's disease can affect any area of the GI tract, the bowel, the

colon and even the stomach - from the mouth to the anus - but it

most commonly affects the lower part of the small intestine. The

swelling extends deep into the lining of the affected organ with

what appears to be craters or ulcers. The swelling can cause severe

pain and can make the intestines pulse frequently, resulting in

diarrhea.

 

Like with all digestive dis-easements, the environment, stress and

thought and the belief you have about your centeredness can greatly

impact this type of disorder. Control is nothing more than an

illusion or an attempt to establish boundaries where the individual

has felt powerless. And what we are speaking of also extends to

one's self-perception.

 

We have always reinforced to you that your thought becomes your

reality. When you penetrate the illusions that others have

conditioned you to believe you then can focus on your beliefs and

only then can you begin to embrace the `you' that is immortal.

Indeed. You are not defined by what others expect of you but rather

by what you expect of yourself. You are so much more than the person

you see in your reflection. This is why you cannot see yourself with

your own eyes, you can only see reflections of yourself. It is

through that reflection, which is shaped by how you have been taught

to believe and how you treat yourself and others, that gives you the

face others react to. Tears cannot compromise your strength. Do not

be afraid to be who you are and to release that which needs to be

expressed.

 

These concepts are nothing new. They are as old as time itself for

in the beginning there was God and then there was you (an extension

of God's own image). Nothing of the material world can redefine that

image of perfection. You can, at any time you wish, ask and reshape

the person you have come to know and in so doing, co-create with

God. Dear ones, forgiveness has nothing to do with whom you are

forgiving but it has everything to do with you. As long as you hold

onto anger, fear, pain, resentment and bitterness you give power to

those you are holding those feelings against, and this gives them

power and control over you. To forgive means to let yourself become

free from their power and control over you.

 

Most dis-eases of this nature that deal with the lower extremities

have to do with blockages and more to the point, blocked emotions

and not speaking in a calm and clearly defined manner. It is as if

the inner child's voice was dismissed and never really heard. It is

important to speak without frustration, anger or resentment. Usually

when a parent has made this inner child feel peripheral and as if

they could not measure up to a certain level of expectation, the

ability to establish boundaries becomes problematic. So we would say

that you, if this is the you that is aware of these signs of dis-

easement, a diet low in acids and rich in gentle earth foods would

be good. What do we mean by this? You could take one tablespoon of

fresh strongly brewed green tea mid-day and at night take two

healthy-sized tablespoons of flaxseed oil that is organic. Then,

depending on the reaction over the next couple days lessen the

flaxseed oil to one tablespoon. Eat little tomato or acidic fruit;

if you choose to, cut it by half with whole-milk and this will make

a pink sauce rather then a red sauce that will be easier on your

digestive track. Lentils are very easy on the body, as are breads

low in gluten or whole-breads that are freshly baked. But more

important are liquids, liquids and liquids of light color. It is

important to eat dark greens, reds, yellows and purples (except

eggplant due to the tough skin and small seeds) - vibrant colors are

alive with vitality. Food is life and life is meant to be enjoyed.

Many think that all they are worth is quantified by what they have,

their physical appearance, what they do for a living or in short,

their material worth - because they feel they can measure and

control this. These things do not define human greatness. Indeed,

not. For think of all the great people throughout your history and

how humble they have been.

 

You falsely embrace the ideals of wealth and beauty and you think

these things are true because they are set out before you each day.

And if you cannot reach or become this ideal of perfection and

substance, and note we have used the word substance, you feel lesser

then those who embrace these false illusions. It is these very false

illusions that lead you to a life of mediocrity and false constructs

that give way and collapse upon the realization that there is more

to you than you thought.

 

You need to ask yourself what your life is about and what defines

you as a person. When this false paradigm falls apart it becomes

increasingly deeply unsettling because you now are faced with a new

reality and you have to begin to redefine yourself. The separation

between what you know and those collapsing ideologies and the new

awareness you are discovering creates a feeling of confusion and

chaos, but in its place the moment of choice is discovered. Will you

move forward or return to the comfort of your old physical and

emotional addictions? Those who take the chance and make the choice

to move forward and reshape their personal paradigm are choosing to

discover an emerging soul that is limitless.

 

To be loved without judgment, to be held with acceptance and to be

heard with compassion is to allow the inner child a playground of

ageless recovery where there is no harm, just the acceptance that

you are the singular entity which will finally allow yourself to

breath and rest with assured tenderness.

 

We are all thoughts. It is through our thoughts that our realities

are shaped by each of you shaping your synaptic connectors that will

reinforce old behaviors or through your choice, your direct

reshaping of choice, dynamically modify your brain chemistry and

synaptic response creating new, healthy reactions associated with

your memories and beliefs. Your old memories will fall aside, the

unsettling behaviors will be realigned into new beneficial ones and

you will have great potential.

 

Again we will remind you that you are a quantum being. In as much

that you live within the physical third dimensional reality. You are

also living in many other dimensional realities, all simultaneously

occurring. You think that once you have made a decision, you have

thought about it and then you decided to make it. But by the time

you are aware of the decision you will make, you have already made

that decision and how you make that decision is through the

established neuro-network that you have created in your brain that

has been cumulative up until this point in time. Each interaction

you have and how you react to it either reinforces the functional

neuro network that you now have established or you can begin to

reshape that neuro network, creating new responses through

repetition within your brain's neuro synaptic responders. This is

why it is so hard to modify and change behavior.

 

Now we will take this one step further for you. You react through

emitted energy and space rather than through actual physical to

physical contact. Everything that exists is made up of spaces. In an

atom the electron orbits around the nucleus. What is in between

this? It is not solid, but it is space. What seems to be physical

bodies interacting with each other is actually the space between the

physical bodies either attracting or repelling each other. And it is

the reaction of attraction or repulsion that makes you think that

you are connecting with physical substance.

 

Now in saying this we would allude to you that this is why you can

reshape your reality. These naturally occurring reactions and

interactions happen spontaneously and automatically. It is within

their natural framework to function. But when you introduce the

variable of perception, meaning that the observer watches the

interaction, it changes the outcome of this naturally occurring

interaction due to the perception and expectation of the observer.

If you view yourself as an entity made up of space and energy then

we would propose to you that the space and energy you occupy within

your framework of perception interacts simultaneously with all other

space and energy around you. This is why it is important to make

your choice of determined action one of awareness, so you can choose

to react in more respectful ways of the physical world you interact

with and live in. Indeed.

 

Your physical world only exists through your perception. On a

quantum level all you have created is the illusion of one

probability. And that probability that you define as your third

dimensional framework really does not exist at all, no more so than

any other probability. Indeed. What you think you know or what you

think you live does not really exist at all for its existence is

solely determined by how you maintain it through your belief system.

Once you achieve this awareness you can see that dis-ease or

behaviors that are non-beneficial can be greatly affected by the

environment you place yourself in. So we would say to you, Reshape

your reality by making good choices. Remember, you never have to

fear being alone - for you are not. You are connected to all living

things, in perfection and in reality.
