the child
to chose the time and outcome of a nursing session, but will start dictating these issues. Normally nursing occurs when
the babe is restless and hungry, the mother's milk responding, and the outcome a satiated babe falling back into sleep,
a happy outcome all around. The child dictates the time and amount to be consumed. A control oriented mother will
try to decide when a nursing session, or a bottle feeding session, should occur. Her schedule, her determination on the
amount to be consumed, and the battle over food started early. The babe tries to turn away, has the nipple forced into
its mouth again and again, the sense of anger in the air, and the framework of the battle has been laid.
Close examination of the dynamics around the dinner table when the babe is a child invariably shows argument about
what food to eat, how much to consume, with the mother dishing it out onto the child's plate and watching closely that
it get consumed. This should be compared to the family where the child chooses what to load onto its plate from
serving dishes with only an occasional suggestion from mother to try the broccoli or whatever, with father commenting
that if one fills the plate up it is wasteful unless eaten, a clean plate. Basically, the child chooses.
Having had the issue of control over one's life hopelessly confused with food consumption, the Anorexic finds food
fights clicking in even when not the issue. If someone suggests they vote for a candidate the Anorexic would not
themselves choose, they stop eating. If the work hours are changed and the new routine not what the Anorexic would
prefer, they stop eating. If the spouse wants sex, or does not want sex, averse what the Anorexic wants for the evening,
they stop eating. In a world where tensions are on the increase, and those wanting control over their environment
becoming more adamant and shrill, these matters will only acerbate. Thus, the increase in Anorexia, which is likely
only to become worse both in those who suffer, and in an increase of new cases.

ZetaTalk: Pain

Spiritual growth during incarnations is best facilitated when the incarnating entity is faced with natural law, the
workings of the Universe as God designed it. Rainfall and its collection into pools and rivulets, sprouting seeds
struggling to push grains of earth aside and then leaning hungrily toward the light, a caterpillar's many legs following
one another in turn up and down its long body - all wonders of God's natural world. Pain is simply another facet of this
natural world, just as carnivores bringing down prey or the old and weak succumbing to infection. Pain is a signal - to
pull away from contact that injures, to slow down and rest, to favor the injury, to stay away from certain sites or foods or circumstances. Pain is designed, by natural evolution, to be self limiting. Severe pain causes a faint, long standing
pain causes a lethargic depression, and under natural circumstances the animal in pain does not have long to bear this.
It dies.
Enter man, with his rules and regulations. Dying is
that flies in the face of what the populace has been told by the religious elite - that a benevolent God is listening to
their prayers. Those forced to live in pain and those watching this agony then conclude that they are either being
punished or ignored. The problem here is not that God is failing to descend to fix the pain. The problem is that
mankind has not learned how to deal with God's natural Universe, one of the
Beyond the attitude that pain must be borne, stoically, while the body is being maintained indefinitely, humans also
burden themselves with unnecessary pain. The vast majority of the pain experienced by humans, even debilitating,
chronic pain - is psychological or psychosomatic, induced by the mind. This is not to say that real inflammation or
pressure on nerves might not be physically present. This is to say that the inflammation has been
individuals mental state, anxieties, desire to avoid situations, repressed rage, or lack of consideration for their physical body. One has gas pains but fails to eat roughage. One sprains wobbly joints and tears weak muscles because exercise
is seldom fit into the busy schedule. One has lower back pain and ultimately a slipped disk, but fails to tighten the
tummy or relax tight back muscles. The list is endless.
Ultimately, dealing with pain must be resolved in the same way that one deals with all other aspects of being alive.
Take responsibility for your own life, adjust to the reality of those things you cannot change, and maintain perspective.
