Thankyou for the information regarding the Shen. I have been through terrible emotional and financial trauma over the past two years and blew my thyroid out, developed terrible bruising in the medial eye area inside the bridge of the nose and thought I had some life threatening disease. Even though i felt well I looked terrible especially when I ate certain foods and the pain in the eyes was a dull ache. reading your article I have a better understanding of what has been happening in my body, Thankyou and now i can begin the heal properly.jan

Perhaps setting up an appointment with a skilled practitioner will hasten the process of your recovery. It is possible to deal with the problem and rectify what is unbalanced.

It is hardly surprising that most of the time our lives are spent in Canberra (lots of round abouts there!). Status quo is good, denial and lying to ourselves so much easier. When one thinks of cause and effect, the implication is that it is immediate (primary school science classes come to mind). Hence it is possible to see a direct correlation immediately between something I have done and the effect. I have only just realised that some of my cause and effects have taken the time frame of years. Oops! Guess some things had to make sense eventually, but it takes a prepared mind to see it.

I think I’m in a bit of whirlpool and becalmed at the same time.

Thanks for a great reminder to look. (I’m one of the introverts.)

Comment on More On Addiction – Short or Long Path? by Geoffrey Wilson

I’m not suggesting that you are advocating replacement of one addiction with another. I’m merely using your comment as a starting point for further discussion…. which of course in this case was the dilemma of taking the short or long path when the truth of the matter dawns!

If I can see that I am dulled by repetition, by habit, do I need to think it over? Can I be free of habit by reducing it bit by bit, or by eliminating it altogether?

Having said that, another point I was trying to make was that sensitivity is an ability to respond to a challenge without the burden of past habits, recollections.

Sure, intellectually, one can design a goal to increase sensitivity. I can think more positively about eliminating my negative and destructive behaviour. This is certainly a step in the right direction.

The problem it would seem however, is that setting a goal to increase sensitivity won’t actually do anything to cultivate sensitivity.

Understanding habit on the other hand, most certainly will. All I need to do is give my complete attention to it.

I’m not sure where you get the idea that I am advocating the replacing of one addiction with another.

I’m not sure that living is an achievement but both addiction and sensitive are doings it seems to me.

I think contemplating a goal is one way to restore sensitivity.
