Why your personality chooses physical issues

Your personality creates a completely upside-down yet very convincing picture of what is going on, also with regard to physical issues. That is why it seems hard to get a grip on.

Let's start with examining your personality beliefs with regard to physical issues. They 'happen' to you, you have no influence over this, and you need external help, chemicals, rules to live by, boundaries and do's and dont's in order to get rid of this or to control it. Which of course your personality will organize for you.

Then assume that your personality were to play an active role in it, why would he do so? To start with, your personality does nót have 'your' best interests in mind, only his own, see various columns in the 'insight' section for more info on this.

Your personality believes he is weak and vulnerable, ánd that he has to maintain this like that. This is a huge contrast with your present beliefs, so let this sink in for a moment. So the goal of your personality turns out to be to have you be weak and vulnerable. Yet there is a second goal, which is: have you forget this as much as possible. Because once you truly would see this basis, you would not be able to continue to believe it.

Imagine you are in a situation where things do not meet the way your personality wants. This may be because it is too pleasant, see separate column. This could be for example with bigger issues like a new relationship, holiday, moving, promotion, retirement, but certainly with smaller issues as well, like a party, good luck etc. And with experiences through your inner Self, like not feeling attacked when someone is angry with you, not feeling vulnerable when you do not do what others expect of you. Etc.

And it can be because your personality cannot prevent this time that it becomes too obvious that he indeed is weak and vulnerable: for example when something he is working on, does not go well. Or when he is criticized. When he is under pressure and he cannot meet the demands. During a divorce or reorganisation. A visit which is not a success. Etc. When this becomes too obvious, he is likely to call on a socially accepted distraction manoeuvre which 'guaranteed' does not point to him, and yet with the same results of weakness and vulnerability: physical issues. They include the advantage that it is accépted that you cannot do certain things.

Each personality has his own mix of sensitivity level and issues he invests 'heavily' in, these important issues are likely to call on intense reactions like physical issues. Play with these ideas for a while yourself: suppose it wére to be like this, what would your issues be? Your personality will not come up with 'proof' for his opposition himself, on the contrary, he has a gigantic and according to his own ideas airtight 'case' for his point of view. However, it is upside down reasoning: you perceive your body as weak, vulnerable and unpredictable becáuse your personality uses it for carrying out his interests and immediately have you forget this. But this does not mean 'thus' it is true.

Seen in this perspective, 'healing' is not so much about having the symptoms disappear, it is about becoming aware of the true cause of your physical issues and stop continuing to make them a truth in themselves. Even the form which these issues take is not interesting in itself. Once you stop feeding the true cause, the effects are nurtured no longer as well. It is not recommended when you want to start with this, to deny yourself your familiar medical services. Your personality then would be likely to heavily invest in fear, which is a waste of energy you could better spend on becoming aware of all the steps your personality takes in this process. It can be very helpful to see your personality actually carry out his own points of view.
Healing in this way is about trusting and accepting there is life outside the one your personality offers, and one you like even better, at least for the issue at hand.

By the way, when your personality does not choose a physical issue, there is a whole range of other reaction patterns to attempt to receive a similar result!
