This isn't a book you can read once and put it down. You have to study it, absorb it and practice it and it will change your outlook on life and your life in general. I want to reiterate, it is not about religion, it is a guide, using the Sermon on the Mount on how to improve and lead your life in both a spiritual way as well as changing your thought patterns.

Joe , I hear what your saying. Hear me too. I started with his prolog, preface and 1st chapter.( I see where he's going and I've been there since I was 7 or 10. I could've written what he wrote (from what I read last night)but I didn't. I've chosen other paths so far. Fate has had its hands all over me all my life too.God , Fate, world force or energy, what ever has slaped me down many times when I felt all was as great as it could be. I finally succomed to thinking/accepting I'll be humbled for the rest of this life anyway.
Now I love to absorb all kinds of knowledge,advice and wisdom and retained alot of it. I'll try to finish reading this book , maybe look at his other writings and we'll see how much of his advice I've already been doing for 40 yrs.;) I'm still working on the forgiving issue. My comon sense just hates to turn the other cheek.

I read a book a yr. ago or more and it's titled "Excuse me, your life is waiting"
by Lynn Grabhorn. I think you would like her thoughts too. Check it out if you can.

His take on this is absolutely incredible. It's not turning the cheek for another blow or about forgiveness. It's about changing a bad situation at hand by using positive thought. That's the gist of it but there is so much more. When you read this portion it will really open your eyes. I've used this practice that he teaches about "turning the other cheek" and it really works wonders, it's almost miraculous.:)

I'd like to read more into that then.;):D..sounds great.Thanks Joe.

Here's an example. I was driving to work one day and apparently did something to another driver that I had no idea that I did. The guy followed me for a couple miles beeping his horn, screaming obscenities as well as obscene gestures. I was clueless as to what his problem was. I pulled into a gas station to fill up. When I got out of my car here is this guy red faced and starting to charge at me. I stood my ground, smiled, applied the mind thing that Emmett teaches and without saying a word the guy stopped dead in his tracks at which time I told him I don't know what I did but whatever it was I apologize and hope I didn't put him in any danger. The thing that got me was just the thought process I learned stopped this, very angry guy that was full of rage and wanted to hurt me, dead in his tracks before he realized that I was bigger then he and I hadn't muttered a word at that point.

Ten years ago I would have rushed the guy and tried to put him in the hospital. It changed me and I believe it had a benificial effect on the other guy, perhaps even changed the way he drives.

I have very many more examples of this and am still blown away when it changes a bad situation.

cool story Joe.

I saw the doc yesterday. The MRI was clear, no tumors or anything to say WOW about. However, I am still suffering these intense headaches and the doc is at a complete loss. He's wary of giving me any other medication than the NSAIDs he's given me thus far because he's afraid it will interfere with my other meds. So, I have to go to a Neurologist so that he can determine what is causing these headaches. One thing about the MRI, I am alergic to iodine thus they couldn't use the contrast to view the results. This means that if there are any aneurysms or blood clots (unless they were large) they would not show on the MRI results.

I called three Neurologists so far and none will see me, why??? because I used the word migraine when describing the pain. I called my Doc today and he said that when I call the Neurologist's office for an appointment, I'm to say, "I have severe headaches without resolving and a clear MRI." WTF??? Now you have to use the right wording to get medical treatment from a Neurologist who actually specialize in these types of problems. I feel like banging my head against a brick wall . . . maybe that will take my mind off the friggin pain I currently have.

BTW another issue. I told my doc that my psychiatrist gave me Valium for the test and gave me a few extra in-case I have any panicy feeling afterwards. I had taken one a few nights ago and it really diminished the pain. So I asked the doc if a muscle relaxer would be something to consider seeing that is what Valium is for the most part. He told me to call my psychiatrist and ask him to prescribe something of that nature because he would know better as to the possible negative interactions of a muscle relaxer with the meds he prescribes for me. Now I have to get an appointment with this guy who I might add is a real pain in the **** to deal with mainly because he doesn't speak English very well and have to pay him another $36 bucks for what Medicare doesn't cover, that I don't have right now. He's is a great psychiatrist and has pinpointed the right meds for my condition on pretty much the second try. With some people it takes years to find the right meds or combination of meds to resolve these types of disorders.

Very frustrating! but I thank God there's no tumors. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long before I get some relief. There are some nights the pain is so intense that I'm tempted to go to the emergency room to get a shot of something to get rid of the pain.

Oh well it's all part of the process and needs to be done to get to the bottom of this.

Have you ever tried pure oxygen?

No I haven't, but I will certainly bring it up with the Neurologist if I can ever get an appointment.

Thanks for the link.

Damn man... missed the whole thing didn't I? Glad it all went well.

Glad your clear, now if they can just address this headache issue. I'm a migraine sufferer as well, though mine are not very severe, nor do I get them often. I have learned the warning signs (loss of peripheral vision, numbness in my left arm/fingers) and if I get to my Excedrin Migraine pills quick enough, I usually don't get the full blown headache part.

God bless buddy, I hope thay can find you some relief.

Believe it or not, my wife just called the same Neurologist's office that I called (she's a patient there) and used the terminology that my doctor suggested and got me an appointment for April 14th. How about that! Now if I can just get some type of med untill then to at least dull the pain, it is paralyzing.

joe good luck with the diagnosis, congrats on getting thru the mri, believe in something greater then us, a hundred years from now no one will ever speak our name or even know we ever walked this earth. this is not all there is. i truly believe we lived before this existence, we are moving through this world and we go on after. because of my wifes birth defects, she was not supposed to live. she was never supposed to make it to any birthdays, graduations, marriage, any of the things we all take for granted. we are 52 and 51 respectively. we have been married 10 years. she is now helping her mother slowly exit this world as am I with mine.i wont go into the decades of surgerys emergency room trips, cruelty she suffered at the hands of others,all i will say is she is gods love made flesh, she has saved me, and although i too am disabled from a life of factory work and landscaping taking its toll, i am blessed every day i can wake knowing she is there and we have another day together.I am renewing my efforts to be a better man, friend, and husband to her. your cry for help has touched me. i wont give advice except to say if the meds dont do well for you change them, there is so much out there these days. we are so blessed to live where we do when we do. when these feelings subside, try to look around you, at the people who you love and love you, slow down and appreciate the calm, recharge, and maybe take something away that will help the next time the bad comes in. we are praying for you.

Maybe it's your body trying to reject that ugly mug you have,Joe. It thinks it's some kind of foreign tissue or something. Just a thought......:D

I been kinda having a rough patch with the personal life Joe. Thanks for missing me.

I hate to pimp drugs, but Clonapin seriously helped me through an incredibly difficult time. A good combination of anti-anxiety and muscle relaxer.

I no longer take it as I am free of the **** that drove me near crazy, but am also not ashamed to have relied on a script for a few months to get over the hump.

My new drug is exercise. I am near death after every Muay Thai class, but honestly I haven't felt this good since HS, when I played sports literally every day.

Good luck to you Joe!

hearingimpared

Thanks scottyboy76, very inspiring! Jason, I take Klonapin four times a day for my panic disorder along with other meds.

When I was seriously hitting the gym regularly I felt awesome and plan to get back to it when these headaches subside. Plus regular exercise will help rid me of the Type II diabetes.
