Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hi Erica and all, Again, I'm cleaning up some of my backlog, and noticed this excerpt from one of your posts, Erica. It's not demeaning to " have no control " , in my view. Rather, it's the JUDGMENTS we make about ourselves and others, and the judgments others make about us, that are demeaning. That we " have no control " simply reflects that we are far more complex than the common conception of humans as creatures of " free will " . We do possess free will ... and we ALSO possess a very powerful set of automated programming, our entire subconscious belief system. More on this in previous and upcoming posts ....

I desired health for a long long time, and it's insulting for people to say I didn't because otherwise I would have it. Emotional abuse, the ensuing addictions.... it's demeaning to have no control, etc. or to want to die you feel so miserable in your body but to keep poisoning it. <http://geo./serv?s=97359714/grpId=5520395/grpspId=1705015482/msgId =31368/stime=1182462460/nc1=3848446/nc2=4025338/nc3=4670553> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
