Becca,
Jared is a traveller most brave. I have read his words, known the mystery of them and would run to his voice because in him the sun shines, and faith rolls all our wounds away. He is a rare soul. May his words and love nourish all who pledge themselves to the healing path.
Jared, Darkness calls and you know my affinity for the descent. You can always reach me in the sweetness. Love, love and more love.
Thank you, Plum. You breed kindness with articulation. Would it make sense if I said that the writing of this book -- with the worry that I'm nothing but a fraud blotching every keystroke -- has all my symptoms hankering for a reunion? Fortunately I'm not a party person. But it illustrates the point of TMS with a nice flair of the ol' metacognition.
One thing I've found true of TMS and our personality stencils in general: "If it's good, it's a lie. If it's bad, it's true." May be simple, may be trite, but it's a definite. If one examines how many studies corroborate the freedom we're given to relax (because it's probably psychosomatic), which is the bolus of Sarno's written work, then this rings true, proving the ephemerality of a neurotic's confidence. I use the word "neurotic" endearingly and provincially, perhaps because it was the label I was given by my father, which helps reassure me, and then not reassure me.
