Mental Stress

Much, if not most, of the suffering on our planet has been mental/psychological/emotional. These are sometimes due to brain-neurochemical imbalances, which are, of course, radically affected, even dominated, by changes in the physical body. They can be the result of nutrition, genetics, or other factors.

These impact upon the brain. It is the organ of thought's formulation and transmission, but it is not the origin of thought. Instead, thought originates in the nonmaterial mind, the self. For the self is a mind, not a body.

Most people have gone through that rollercoaster ride. It can be tough, and take you to an interior hellstate. Happily, meditation and/or Love can liberate you from that stress. Visits to these states of mind have all been considered a most valuable part of training in psychology, which cannot be obtained from mere booklearning. This donk went through a three-year stint of general, chronic depression. It has also passed through significant times of anxiety, including panic-attacks. (Some of this has been tied in with brain-nutrition, and some has had other causes, known and unknown.) Cases of social anxiety disorder have appeared, for example, as well. It is almost as if this life has been a psychological smorgasbord, containing every state from agony to ecstasy. Nothing can educate about mindstates as well, or as thoroughly, as having been submerged in them.

There have been no indications of psychotic breaks with reality, but all of the more minor mindstates have been experienced. So, if you would ever like to talk about feelings, please do not hesitate to give me a call, at 513-737-LOVE (5683).
