Thrive II: This is What it Takes

[Emil El Zapato]

No, my parents would absolutely not have allowed that to happen.

However, in my mothers sisters case her sons were hitting each other and I've heard about and seen many similar cases. I always thought some boys were a bit too rough and "nuts", but then again I probably wasn't your average wild boy. Then some of those boys didn't seem to grow up to be very sane. My brother did tease me a little bit sometimes, but more than that he was mostly overprotective. Sometimes when my father was drinking when I was a teenager he wanted me to wrestle with him, but it was never anything else than playful. He was mildly annoying and I had just enough power to keep him at bay although he was much stronger.

True story! I would be sitting in the living room with my brother on the other side of the room and I would scream out for my brother to stop beating me. My dad and mom would come running into the room and just start smacking the hell out of him. My older brother was genuinely vicious and at least then I thought he had it coming in spades. My daughter and I still burst out laughing when I recount that story. My brother doesn't think it is as funny as we do. No matter what you think about it boids, trust me on this one, in the context of our family dynamics it actually made sense. Of course, at a point in his life, he decided to become a prison guard, a.k.a. a cop. Yes, I certainly understand what to expect from a 'cop' without asking. Bio family, older sibling, brother-in-law and personal experience with rolling around on the floor with several of them trying to handcuff me and having a bit of a go of it. To this day, I would maintain that I was wrongly 'fingered' and they overreacted. But it was a wild scene while it lasted, nonetheless. And more than a few other encounters that were less fun. Like I said, a misspent youth.

I still slap my sister's hands, snatch dangerous things away from her and push her away like she's three years old.

It's what we've become so nothing shocks me. I just remind myself I was here first.

I've posted Dr. Gabor mate's videos on the forum before, but science now understands that emotions play a huge role with our chronic illnesses and also addictions. Many issues originate in our childhoods and sadly often traumas can affect people for years if not decades to come. I think societies in general should address these issues which cause so much malaise, confusion and chaos when left unchecked. Who wouldn't want a society full of healthy and self-empowered people? Or who wants a society full of dumbed down, obedient and sick people? Emotional issues need to be addressed and resolved. That's how you heal the individual and ultimately society too.

"Dr. Gabor Maté is a renowned physician, author, and speaker who has extensively researched the connection between stress and chronic illnesses. In his work, he argues that unresolved emotional stress and trauma can have a profound impact on our physical health, leading to the development of chronic diseases such as autoimmune disorders, cancer, and mental health conditions.

According to Dr. Maté, stress and trauma can create a state of chronic inflammation in the body, which can weaken the immune system and make us more vulnerable to illness. This can be especially true for individuals who have experienced early childhood trauma or ongoing stressors such as poverty, discrimination, or violence.

To address these issues, Dr. Maté emphasizes the importance of addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to chronic illness. This may involve working with a therapist, practicing mindfulness and self-care, and making lifestyle changes that support overall health and well-being."

Hi Aragorn,

you've never openly discussed your disability, I'm curious about what it is. Arthritis? I hope you don't mind me asking, of course you don't need to discuss it.

It's a combination of many things that all add up. One of them is the fact that I've got four — by now possibly five — herniated disks in my lower back; surgery is not an option as it would make things even worse.

Either way, this is off-topic here.

not if you wanted to start a discussion on how it relates to each and everyone of us as individuals with individual perspectives on what Thrive is and isn't. Or is Thrive discussion limited to the 'movie'? Because if that is the expectation then I've wasted a lot of effort on a topic that is completely irrelevant to me.

The thread is about the movie and its makers, and what they present as a solution for allowing everyone to thrive.

[Emil El Zapato]

of course, it is.

Indeed a goodie, remember when at my workplace his vids were being shared on our internal internet ( villages NZ wide ), it was a big jump brain and trauma treating wise his data, created change in the industree, also remember me doc telling me at 35-6 that i was to be in a wheelchair bye 40 due to stress etc. arthritis whole bod but not yet spine, from then on it was inner.

Clearing etc past and future trauma is the in thing nowadays.

[Diabolical Boids]

of course, it is.

And of course its a starting off point for further exploration in terms of what specifically people are doing to heal themselves to thrive. You can't learn to cook by watching a Wolfgang Puck documentary.

Son here is a powerful sender. I'm impressed. Hair is standing on end but impressed.

Aragorn gets out of sorts sometimes and tends to take it out on me...thanks to Fred I'm his favorite target. I was just trying to give him some latitude to try to open up a little regarding the struggles in his life. I know he wants to talk about it...but on his terms which is completely justified.

You are quite right.

I think he should talk about, that's how that stuff starts to self-correct. And that voice in the back of my head that just got fried by psychic energy that said BACK OFF just broadcast it in specific detail at a million megahertz anyway so now it seems incongruent not to talk about it. Not here of course. But somewhere. It's not anything you and I need to know but something he needs to know. But whatever it is, its not about lacking in power.

Mmmmm maybe another thread best, please explain how these the a attack phyco etc works or happens for you, imo this is very important sharing lol to thrive.
