Back to what passes for normal

I awoke to find that my head no longer felt like it was being crowded by some unseen force that made my ears feel plugged and my facial bones ache. This is a replay of what I had early April so I got some liquid echinecea and plan to hit it hard.

Did you ever realize that what you believe is real is only your perception. We say things like that but did you realize it? I recently did an excercise prompted by Deepok Chopra in his THE THIRD JESUS. You think of something you are afraid of, sit quietly with eyes shut and visualize what you fear. Then make the scene larger, then smaller. Stay with it a while then open your eyes. Did you notice how you were able to manipulate the thoughts and the fear? You were in control of the thoughts that produced your fear. Thoughts=Fear. You can control your fear not by avoiding it but by facing it and manipulating it. There are fears that don't include thought or at least I don't think they do. Like the fear my dog has of thunder storms. She roams the house hiding under the table every time it thunders. Even though she is out of the storm, she fears the noise. Does she remember a time when it stormed and she feared it, or does she hear the sound and feel fear?

Whatever, at least I have my head back.
