Ideally—and this is a big ideally—there would be no such damage to the body. Your attitudes have been along the lines of self-accusation at any such problems. Any health difficulties will flow into the pool of your beliefs—but the body is not meant to be more than the reflection and materialization of your inner reality as it appears in space and time. Its problems are the results of your own inner ones, and meant to lead you toward inner comprehensions. In the same way, the Jonestown suicides lead the society to face its inner problems.

Once those old beliefs are understood for what they are, they will no longer be considered as shameful in themselves, nor humiliating, or as attitudes to be accused of (long pause, one of many), but as a personality’s way of still preserving old beliefs, whatever their nature, for the feeling of safety that they still implied.

I run ahead of the other girl, and around her, really hunting her down, yelling again dramatically and accusingly: “I ask myself, where are all my friends who were going to write no matter what, to work no matter what happened. [...]

He is strongly accusing toward anything he regards as religious deceit, because of his experience you see, with several priests in the past. [...]

[...] He is not lying, as the child is accused of doing when he describes something his parents consider outlandish.

Again, it is important that you not accuse the Sinful Self (which I took to be a reference to our discussion last Friday). [...]

[...] It should not be on any accusations, but on the recognition of the communication itself, and to those specific issues mentioned. [...]

If I were to make the same statement for example to any of my readers, I would be accused of saying that physical reality was composed of the discards of the universe.

Then he felt that you were accusing him of being stupid, but without trying to come up with any solutions of your own. [...]

[...] In all of this, however, thoughts of self-accusation simply must be avoided as much as possible, for to a good degree in one way or another such activities and misunderstandings are behind any illness, and Ruburt is hardly to single himself out in any one area as being more stupid than anyone else.
