Personal Disempowerment-Medical application

Option.
It is towards revealing factors surrounding the continuance of what
is, perhaps unwittingly, being fascilitated by a lack of questioning.
A lack of active Mentoring.
A sort of, perhaps unwitting, blindness.......supported by fear.
I trust some will find it stimulating, enough so to discuss and to
share.

Mike Adams made some quite theatrical beliefs, as if
people with "symptoms" were, against their will, reduced
to "victims" of disease. How?
They're spellbound under the "secret code" of physicians,
who "carry a form of infectious disease in their use of language."
These malicious perp-docs are said to be "'hypnotizing' and
'brainwashing' patients into believing in a disease mentality."
And who will save these unwittingly victimized folks?
Enter "the Health Ranger" with his decoder ring. No, even
better he brings a decoder set of 12 CDs.
While his conspiracy theory theatrics are a bit much for me,
Health Ranger does point to a useful, even insightful belief:
Self-defining beliefs have consequences. Option folk
have understood that for a long time.
"Disease" can indeed operate as a synoptic version of that
wonderfully disabling belief,
"There must be something wrong with me".
One writer, whose name I don't recall, had fun noting how we
can bang a knee, experience pain and conventionally say,
"My knee really hurts. This morning I slammed it against the
corner of my desk."
Yet, when it comes to our episodes of emotional discomfort,
conventions of language less often express such ownership,
for having responded to a stimulus. Rather we speak, and write,
as if we've had a whole-body, transformation of identity, as if
our state of being has been morphed by the vicious
assault of an ordinary life episode (a.k.a. a stimulus).
Less often do we hear specificity of process like, "I felt sad,
when I got the bad news that my neighbor's dog, Wolf, died".
More conventionally we hear "I'm sad about my neighbor's
dog." Or expressing even less personal process awareness,
we likely hear, or say, "I am unhappy."
In the first instance ownership of process is represented by
declaration of a feeling associated with a particular time
"when I got... news that my neighbor's dog... died."
Additionally, reference is made to an operating judgment about
the news. It was "bad". And, not surprising to Optioneers,
the bodily sensation of that judgment was a "sad" feeling.
As I waded through Health Ranger's schtick, I thought that,
yes, we can empower ourselves by owning the specificity of
bodily sensations and behaviors, sometimes called
"symptoms". Alternatively, by homogenizing lots of
specific moments under one generic, generalized heading,
we certainly can create for ourselves an altered identity,
whether it be that of victim or hero. Option beliefs
help me realize that I get to choose which beliefs to use
for filtering my stimulus, in any moment of awareness.
"Victim" is a belief construct. Central to it is a belief that there
is
something wrong with me. We seem to be really effective at
making theatrical embellishments to our belief. Influenced
by Option, I am believing that there is, and never has been,
anything wrong with me. When I do unhappiness, that doesn't
have to mean I've morphed to become somebody else.
I'm always the person who takes in stimuli, some of which I
like more, some less. I'm still the one who gets to filter each
stimulus with beliefs of my own choosing. Even more powerfully,
I can filter stimuli using selected wants to thereby sustain
"the ultimate attitudinal advantage" of happiness and love.
Thanks, Larry, for a stimulating post,

In the era when introduced to PsycoCybernetics, and the foundings of
Canadian Sales Masters, I was introduced to the reasons for efficasy of
hypnosis. The body, and even operative parts of our brain, do not
differentiate between what is, and what we imagine anything is. Isn't it
all ultimately about the quality of our volitional consciousness?
