What if our perceptions and beliefs about what happens around us can lead to conflict shocks? What if those biological conflict shocks act as causative agents in our health? What if the symptoms we experience might be occurring as a result of our innate intelligence working to support us through the conflicts we’ve encountered? And, what if we could eliminate the fear of symptoms and illness because we understand exactly why our body is performing the way it is?
Our God-given, innate intelligence directs specific, purposeful programs to run every moment of everyday without our conscious direction. We do not tell our lungs to breathe, we do not tell our heart to beat, and we do not tell our digestive system to digest. The direction of these programs is all part of our autonomic nervous system.
With an open mind, let’s consider the idea that specialized, purposeful programs might be directed by our brain to run within the body in response to conflict shocks we encounter in life. Let’s go a step further and imagine that these special biological programs are determined by the way our innate intelligence perceives life’s events, the way our psyche interprets what’s happening. They run automatically, and with the sole purpose of assisting us during times of conflict shock. And, what if upon resolution of the conflict shock, symptoms occur as part of the healing from the encountered conflict? Instead of viewing symptoms as illness, we can understand that symptoms are intentional, purposeful healing events that occur in order to return the body to its original state of function prior to the conflict shock.
Wow!! We have just discussed a completely new way of looking at the cause of illness! This is a major paradigm shift from what we are used to, so before we go on, let’s review.
1) Our brain initiates a specialized program to run within the body as a direct response to a conflict shock.
2) The type of conflict shock we experience is determined by how our psyche interprets the event. Our individual beliefs, perceptions, and programming all influence our psyche.
3) Symptoms occur as part of the healing.
4) Symptoms are meaningful and purposeful. Symptoms=healing.
With these basics established, let’s see how the application of this understanding could be seen in our lives today. Widespread flooding has recently impacted the lives of many Nebraskans. This massive flooding was completely unexpected, completely unavoidable, had an intense impact beyond what anyone could have prepared for- indeed a conflict shock for those in its path! Within seconds of the onset of flooding (the moment the shock was experienced), the brain of every single person in the path of the flooding initiated a special program in response to the encountered conflict. This response is purposeful! The response is specialized to exactly what your psyche and physical body require in order to deal with the situation at hand.
Individual responses to the flooding situation would widely vary from person to person based upon their unique individual beliefs, personalities, and backgrounds. These differing responses would result in different types of conflict shocks being experienced throughout the affected population. As different people experience different types of conflict shocks, different programs are initiated accordingly. The flooding situation means different things to different people based on their individual situation, therefore they might all be experiencing the same flood, but they are experiencing it differently on a personal level. Their psyche is what determines the type of conflict they experience and what program the brain initiates in the body. What they make it mean to them or about them is what determines the type of conflict shock they experience and what program is initiated to run. Let’s look at some examples.
To one person, the flooding may have been perceived as a threat to their property. Therefore, they may experience a territorial loss conflict which would affect their coronary arteries. Another person might perceive a threat to their life and experience a death fright which would affect the lungs. To yet another person, the devastation may in invoke concern about how they will be able to survive financially which would be a starvation conflict affecting the liver. A woman whose child was amidst the flooding may become concerned about her child’s well-being and experience a nest-worry conflict which affects her breast glands. Other responses could include an overwhelm conflict (heart muscle tissue) or a water conflict (kidney collecting tubules). As you can see, the same situation can be experienced in many different ways by different people.
No matter what type of conflict we may experience (we experience many throughout our lives), our body always responds perfectly with a significant biological program to support us during conflict activity and healing. If we experience a conflict in which more cells are required to help us resolve the conflict at hand, then we will experience cell growth in the associated organ during conflict activity. An example of this would be the lungs when a death fright is encountered. When a moment of shock in which we fear for our life occurs, a special program in the lungs is initiated in which cell growth occurs in order to allow more air into the lungs and avoid death.
If we experience a conflict shock where fewer cells are needed to support us through the conflict activity, then we will experience cell loss in the associated organ. In a territorial loss conflict, losing property to flooding for instance, cell loss occurs in the coronary vessel for the purpose of allowing more blood to flow to the heart. This increase in blood flow would physically enable the person to get their territory back, or establish a new one.
No matter what type of conflict is experienced, your brain always knows innately what to do (exactly which special program to initiate), in order to help you through the conflict you experienced and help you reach a point of resolution as quickly as possible. The program initiated will continue to run until we reach a resolution of the conflict. For this reason it is of utmost importance that we downgrade the intensity of the conflict as much as possible, or better yet, resolve the conflict completely as quickly as we can.
Upon resolution of the conflict (moving back into the house, re-establishing security and financial resources, getting back to a normal routine, etc), the body will automatically move into a healing phase. During healing, the organ which was affected during conflict activity is restored to its original state. Symptoms such as fever, pain, swelling, fatigue, etc. can occur during the healing phase. These symptoms are as purposeful as the changes in organ activity that occurred during the conflict active phase. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi can also be called in to assist in the healing process. Let’s look at the examples previously mentioned and see what symptoms might occur during healing and why they are purposeful.
For those who experienced a death-fright and grew cells in their lungs through-out the conflict active phase, these cells are no longer needed now that the conflict has been resolved. The cell growth from the conflict active phase will therefore be broken down and expelled. The break-down process may utilize specific bacteria to assist in healing, so a “bacterial infection” may be detected. Healing always occurs in a fluid environment so chest congestion may be experienced (healing is also occurring in the brain so fluid accumulation/pressure may cause a headache) along with a cough to expel the broken down cells from the lungs.
In the case of the territorial loss conflict, the cells lost during conflict activity will be replenished during healing. As previously mentioned, healing always occurs in a fluid environment, so it is reasonable to expect the possibility of swelling in the vessel. Pain could also be experienced as a result of the ulceration within the vessel. Because cholesterol is used to assist in restoring the lining of the coronary arteries, an elevation in cholesterol levels could be noted. A healing phase that lasts a long time or that is continuously interrupted by medications or conflict triggers can result in serious complications so it’s very important to resolve the conflict as quickly as possible. It is also important to know how to properly support the body through the healing phase as to not interrupt or the stop the body’s natural processes, but to assist the body by offering support. By applying these principles, we can dramatically minimize the impact of the conflict on our health.
As we find ourselves working through the aftermath of this natural disaster, I encourage you to remain aware. Be aware of your state of conflict activity and work to resolve/downgrade as much as possible. Be patient and loving with yourself, understanding that your body is constantly responding to your every thought, perception, and belief. Understand that your body’s response is always purposeful and never random, so if symptoms do appear, you need not be fearful. Instead, seek out assistance from those trained to help support your body’s natural healing process. It is out of fear that we desperately seek to stop the symptom without the consideration of the symptom’s purpose and what the long term effect of stopping the symptom (stopping the healing) will be. Through love and understanding we can provide the body with optimal support through every event of life.
