About Being a Pessimist

This page on the desktop calendar caught my eye as I walked in a bit earlier today.

I would have readily agreed with this a couple of years ago but not so in this moment. Because this too is another of those old belief systems which is no longer valid for me.

Even the optimists go through phases in life when they are enveloped by the darkness of pessimism. So what?? When the clouds of pessimism hover in your life, be a pessimist. Do not fight them, that's all.

There is still a lot that we have to learn about the human body.

I remember  a similar research was conducted on the same person at the same hospital back in 2003 also.

I think that the Doctors and the Scientists will not find anything until and unless they shift their perspective from the Physical Body to the Consciousness and the Belief Systems of the individuals being studied.

Anyway, I am waiting for the results to be made public as this issue is quite close to my heart too.

Man Grows New Skull

Came across this interesting story in the newspaper recently.

Absolutely amazing what all a human body can do when left to heal on its own.

I am interested in getting to know this person's Thoughts Patterns, Belief Systems, Consciousness Level etc. so as to study the link between these and this apparent miracle.
