Understanding Life's Problems

As we make our journey through this life into adulthood and beyond often times outer circumstances and personal traumas interfere with our integrity limiting our ability to function and flourish in the optimum capacity that is truly our own.

When this occurs, it may be so intense that our normal functioning comes completely to a halt or, as is more often the case, events and circumstances create a very slow, subtle change or changes that go virtually unnoticed until the extreme joy of childhood is almost totally replaced by the severe depression and panic of adulthood. This diminishment of joy is then confused with the maturation process leading us to expect misery as a sign of maturity.

Outer intrusions and traumas block the natural rhythms of people in many diverse ways. These diversities then manifest in everyday behavior and these behaviors are called deviant and are given the titles of different emotional illnesses. These are cataloged in a myriad of books and manuals with strange and unusual titles and headings coupled with index numbers for quick reference.

However, if traced back to the source we will always find a violation, an intrusion or a tampering coupled with a misinterpretation of what has occurred, by the person. This creates an unnatural pattern that acts like a block or an energy drain creating the disease ("DISEASE") in the total capability to function. The person then may experience a myriad of horrors: Isolation, Stupidity, Inferiority, Insecurity, Desolation, Depression, Hatred, Fear, Paranoia, etc.
