In my personal experience and working with the Myss materials I have discovered the following about disease.

Disease is not an error or punishment for negative behavior or thinking. It is an opportunity to stop that particular behavior or thinking. Example If I get sick drinking too much alcohol, I can say that alcohol made me sick. The truth is my insistence to continue drinking beyond my bodies ability to assimilate the alcohol made me sick. I got sick to stop drinking not because of it.

Negative thoughts create negative behavior. Negative behavior is not necessarily fatal of itself, but excessive behavior generally is. Disease stops the negative behavior.

Anger causes the body to manufacture certain toxins and acids, because to the body anger is a signal being sent that something unwanted has intruded the system and needs to be eliminated. These acids and toxins were made to dissolve and get rid of this unwanted intruder. As these toxins accumulate in the body because there are no physical intruders, they affect the organs and cause then to misfunction. The disease stops the production of toxins.

Through the use of current healing technologies, we treat the disease. This is band-aid healing. If a patient reverts to old behavior patterns or continues to think in the same manner, the disease will return or show up somewhere else.

Classic case: A person is diagnosed with diabetes and is put on medication to treat their disease. Unless they change their eating patterns, their disease will continue or flare up in other areas. If their thought patterns are not changed the sugars needed to allow the body to handle these thought patterns will be craved or even manufactured by the body so the disease continues.

These is another area of disease that I have discovered. Disease that assists in the development of spiritual growth. These are not caused by negative thinking or behavior patterns. At this particular time I do not know what causes them. Being the control freak that I am, I would like to think that I had something to do with either choosing or creating this experience.

From the standpoint of the body, it is hard to imagine that I would choose to mutilate my body or endure the pain of this disease Only from a multi-sensory perspective does this seem logical. Only an immortal spirit can experience disease without being adversely affected.

Disease for spiritual development is a concept introduced to me by Caroline Myss. When I saw her on Oprah back in September of 98 this is what I understood when she said the God's agenda for us is sometimes different then what we think it should be.

My disease has helped me grow spiritually, faster and more significantly than any other method I have tried. All the books, seminars and teachings fade into smallness compared to the intensity of the lessons learned with disease.

Have a nice day!
