The need to relax the body / take care of the body is in itself a red light that something is already going awry.
It means that ‘I’ have missed the preceding steps, and now ‘I’ am dealing with the symptom and not the cause.
It’s fascinating how the body is easily able to remain in a state of well being when ‘I’ am not messing things up.
And how there are countless methods and techniques which aim to continually mop up these symptoms whilst ‘my’ involvement remains hidden.
Let’s remember that the cause of stress is ‘me’, this can easily be observed in a PCE where all of a sudden this incredible ‘weight’ is magically shifted.
It does take naiveté to consider that all these ‘tried and true’ methods of relaxing, meditation, dietary restriction, exercise etc are not needed to keep the body in a state of well being. It is actually the other way around, it is seeing the damage that ‘I’ continually inflict and with ‘me’ progressively out of the way there is just no need for these methods.
I can confirm that even in virtual freedom there is virtually no stress, and therefore well being seems to be automatically / effortlessly maintained. Of course there is still illnesses etc but even then experiencing these events with virtually no stress is a whole different ball game.
I do remember in the past it was almost as if ‘my’ body was infused with an ‘illness’, and of course the causes of this ‘illness’ end up being projected into anything and everything, rather than being recognised as ‘my’ doing.
In fact this reminds me of Peter’s ending remarks in the Virtual freedom DVD, when he went to the doctor who presented him with all the latest fashionable ways of ‘remaining healthy’ and he said that he has already done the best he can to remain healthy, he has got rid of stress!
