DAREDEVILS, DEATH-DEFIERS, AND HEALTH

(Jane gave it to me yesterday afternoon: “Daredevils, Death-Defiers, and Health.”)

There are other people who firmly believe that the pursuit of pleasure must lead to pain, and there are also others for whom pain itself is pleasure. (Long pause.) There are also individuals whose beliefs cause them to feel very uncomfortable when they are in a state of health — and for these individuals poor health brings a sense of security and safety.

There are innumerable stages of health, from high, sheer, energetic exuberance (long pause) to dwindling lethargy and discomfort. In that sentence, scratch out “dwindling.” There are, in fact, an almost infinite number of stages connected with the state of health. You could invent a completely different way of regarding human health by numbering and defining each of those stages. Instead, of course, your society has chosen to recognize and define all of those stages that are detrimental to health — stages that are recognizable because of health’s absence to one degree or another.

In this book, therefore, we will devote ourselves to ways of promoting health, and we will purposely avoid the specific naming of “dis-eases”. Period.

Now I bid you a most fond good afternoon — and once again, the sessions themselves do indeed set up excellent coordinates for the improvement of health and healing.
