Here is a snippet of how Mortimer isn't present, even though he thinks he is. It is an insidious struggle that works from the inside out in our mind and body. It is the ego in control, not consciousness.
Mortimer thinks that life is just about pain and difficulty. He knows that the doctor knows best and so he doesn't question if there is anything different he needs to do in his life. (see the full example of Mortimer)
For some reason when it comes to our health, we tend to disengage the brain that is inside our head. I don't know how else to say that, but we all do it. I've done it. I've seen many do it. I see many do it every day. It is human behavior.
Like Mortimer, it is where we stop. We don't go beyond it. We don't go into it. We often think that this is how things work and so we just accept that as fact. Many times we are not taught anything different than what everyone practices.
Yes, our society and family units have taught us that anything that hurts or doesn't feel good is something that has to be fixed by someone else. We're taught that in many ways. We are often taught it at an early age when Mommy kisses our boo boo to make it better.
There's nothing wrong with going to get help. In fact, we often need to do that whether it is medical attention or counseling services. Too many times, we wait until things get really bad before we seek help.
The thing is, we just stop at that step. We fail to go in and see what is causing our issues and find a way through them. We fail to see how we need to change things in life. We often fail to realize the role we play in making ourselves sick.
Yes, I know that not everything is something we did it to ourselves, but there is a vast majority of issues that could be greatly enhanced if we took our own blinders off. We often put ourselves in moments of illness and distress that we don't need to, while we stay asleep in the process.
Some of us have endured many difficult moments in our past and as a result, we're forced to deal with issues that are so overwhelming. I get that. I've been there. Some days I am still there. However, there is so much we can do to impact our health and well being that many times we just don't do.
We can choose to stay asleep or we can destroy every paradigm we have about health and healing, to find something that works better for us. We don't have to wait for a doctor or other health person to tell us to take something to numb us. We can engage directly and learn more about our own mind and body.
The more you learn and the more you know, the more you can interact with your own health and healing. Things that I would have claimed were impossible a few years ago are now things that I have seen change, and have healed in my own life and that of others. I would not have guessed it then. I would not have believed it then.
I try to keep an open mind to ways I can interact with my own awareness and consciousness. Learning to recognize that there are other ways to improve my health and make life more than pain and difficulty has been eye opening to me. It has awakened me from my sleep in life.
Is it easy to do this? Not really! Not in my view. Yes, I can give lip service to it. Yes, I can talk the talk of healing, but going in and doing it requires much more connection not only to my mind, but to my body.
After the Conversion Disorder paralysis I went through, I was bound and determined to find my way through it. I didn't accept that this was the way things were or that this is the way they would be. I pushed aside everything I thought I knew and began to open up to what I did not know. In the end, it saved me. In the beginning it was a life full of difficulty and pain.
