pg 136 - Almost every human body is under a great deal of strain and stress, not because it is threatened by some external factor but from within the mind. The body has an ego attached to it, and it cannot but respond to all the dysfunctional through patterns that make up the ego. Thus, a stream of negative emotions accompanies the stream of incessant and compulsive thinking.
now this is the truth! stress comes from within from worrying about things that are beyond our control. I know this happens to me and I just do my best to put things out of my mind and not let them get to me.
I love the duck story on page 138. This is so true, that when a duck gets into a fight it will forget about it once it is over because they do not have human emotions. Humans will dwell on the smallest factors for years and that does not do anything but eat away at happiness and positive outlooks.

Then there is the sub-chapter about the female pain body and boy is this not true?! it talks about women being "demoted" to being child bearers and men's property. granted we have come a long way from those days but not far enough. It all came down to the male ego and being threatened by women. go figure!


As I have been reading this book, certain sections have stood out to me very boldly and really many of them have not been regarding me, but more for other people in my life. So I'm reading this almost as a learning tool not just for me but to learn about others.
I'm hoping that I might be able to help them grow and experience their New Earth though mine!
