Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 What's important in this case is that I can't say: a fear of mice, a fear of heights and so on. I can't be so precise, because I don't know the reason of my fear. I can say: this fear, my heart beating quickly, my legs tense, this anxiety etc. You need to stop your scenarios. Brother Carl. Why? I have been looking very closely at stress for almost seven years now. Always alert to the feelings of stress in myself so that I may gain better understanding. I awoke one morning and as I lay there in bed my thoughts wondered. Suddenly I realized my heart was racing and my anxiety level shot up. I realized this was due to what I was thinking. I was running a scenario in my thoughts that was rather scary. Since your sub mind does not seem to be able to determine between reality and fiction I knew that the glands of my body had secreted chemicals into my blood just as though what I was imagining, was really happening. I wondered, could this be some of what is behind the fear and worry that some have to excess and even brings disease upon them. I decided to check this out further by asking my wife who was fighting breast cancer at the time. I said, Terry, do you ever scenario. She asked me " what do you mean? " I asked her, do you ever imagine bad things happening? She said yes. I asked her to tell me one of the worst of these things that she imagines. She said, well I think of the kids getting killed in a car accident. I asked her, do you actually see this happening when you think about it. She said and these are her very words, " Oh yes and my heart starts pounding. " I rest my case. Brother Carl. When stress starts to effect a person’s health or quality of life, you can then say the person is in distress. What is distress? It is a condition of a living body caused when the glands of the body secrete chemicals into the blood to often making the blood toxic. This is what we really fight.
