Chapter 9 of The Way Toward Health: You, You, You, AND You. LIVING AT CROSS PURPOSES

Chapter nine of The Way Toward Health discusses the complexity of multiple selves. Humans possess multiple inner selves with diverse goals, leading to harmony or conflict. This dichotomy affects our overall well-being. Individuals often face an internal conflict between the desire to express themselves and the fear of doing so. This tug-of-war can create barriers to success and self-expression.
Conflicting beliefs can be exacerbated by societal and religious doctrines that promote restraint, posing mental and physical challenges. Contradictory views on power and energy may manifest in physical symptoms like epilepsy, as fear disrupts the nervous system.
Some seek attention for ailments rather than talents, potentially adopting a ‘professional patient’ role due to internal conflicts. Beliefs, even negative ones, are tools that can lead to growth if viewed objectively. They serve life’s purpose, and with understanding, any situation can improve.
Harmonizing these conflicting beliefs is crucial for a fulfilling life. Recognizing and resolving internal conflicts can pave the way for harmony and a deeper understanding of oneself.
