Thanks for uploading this, I found it very interesting (and funny!) I couldn’t help being fascinated by how you can have such large masses in your body and not know!
I feel like in 50-100 years time, science will make some discovery re: the connection between the mind and the body, and everyone will go, “oh yeah, that’s so obvious.” Probably not in my life time, but I reckon there’s definitely something going on there that we don’t currently fully understand.
I think sometimes people do know something is wrong, but most of us don't want to face reality and just suppress the feeling and hope it would go away by itself. Sometimes it does.
I strongly believe that nutrition and our state of mind play an important role to our health.

Sorry SuperHealer, these ones slipped me by until now.
Thanks for sharing them, I found them really interesting. I really enjoy listening to new, thought-provoking ideas, and these definitely stirred up some thoughts.
Coming back to my 3 Ds that I’ve talked about before, I am very much in a denial stage at the moment. I have sufficiently distracted myself, such that I am no longer pondering illness, death or the meaning of life, and am focusing on enjoying existence. It may be a mindset swathed in ignorance, but I reckon I need this stage for a period of time. What it means is I have returned to a flimsy state of invincibility, where I have convinced myself I know best and will live forever. Naive, of course, but it means I struggle to analyse thoughts as suggested in these pieces as I can’t see a connection to my present existence. But I’m sure the ideas will have slipped into my subconscious and therefore I am grateful for you sharing these pieces as it all adds to human understanding.
Hi Greg! Life can be so harsh, at times it feels like an ongoing horror movie without end. I therefore understand your strategy of dealing with the now, so it wouldn't be too overwhelming.
I recently discovered this French song called "One day at a time" and find it comforting to listen to. I have re-written the lines in English so you get the gist of it. ============================
Help me think what I can become, show me the way to move forward.
Guide me always ... one day at a time. One day at a time, that's all I ask the courage to live, to love and be loved.
Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow isn't here. Help me today, guide me to live one day at a time.
A voice to sing, a soul to love ... Help me to live, yes, help me to live one day at a time. =========================
Je ne suis qu'une femme, une pauvre femme Aide-moi à croire à ce que je peux être, à ce que je suis Montre-moi le chemin ... pour progresser Mon Dieu, pour mon bien Guide-moi toujours un jour à la fois
Un jour à la fois, oh mon Dieu
C'est tout ce que je demande Le courage de vivre, aimer D'être aimé, un jour à la fois
Hier, c'est passé, oh mon Dieu Et demain ne m'appartient pas Mon Dieu aide-moi, aujourd'hui Guide-moi ... un jour à la fois
Tu m'as tout prêté, la vie et la santé Je veux croire en toi En toutes tes bontés pour l'humanité
Une voix pour chanter, une âme pour aimer Aide-moi à vivre, oui, aide-moi à vivre Un jour à la fois
