STS people are healthier than STO?

[Ankh]

The realization that self is other is reciprocal: other is self. However one serves others, one must also serve self to be in balance. I think this is what Turtledude is saying: too much care of others and not enough of self is out of balance.

This is interesting. I was more of a belief that what makes and makes not health is following:

The self-healing distortion is effected through realization of the intelligent infinity resting within. This is blocked in some way in these who are not perfectly balanced in bodily complexes. The blockage varies from entity to entity. It requires the conscious awareness of the spiritual nature of reality, if you will, and the corresponding pourings of this reality into the individual mind/body/spirit complex for healing to take place.

We will use this instrument as example. The portions of its ailment, as you call this distortion complex, that can be perfected in balance are due primarily to a blockage of the indigo ray or pineal energy center. This center receives the intelligent energy from all sources lawful within the one Creation; that is, lawful in this third-density distortion or illusion. If there is no blockage, these energies pour or stream down into the mind/body/spirit complex perfecting moment by moment the individual’s body complex.

This instrument also experiences some distortion of the green-ray energy center which you may call the heart center. It is overly open due to an intensive desire distortion on the part of this mind/body/spirit complex towards service to others, or as you may call it, universal love. This entity, therefore, spends itself without regard to its reserves of mind/body/spirit complex distortion in regard to what you call strength or energy. This distortion is primarily due to the blockage of the indigo ray. As we have said before, the misapprehension distortion of the instrument responsible for this blockage is the basic orientation towards a belief in unworthiness. The unworthiness distortion blocks the free flow of intelligent energy.

So as I understand it, the main problem was not an overactivation of the green center, which was but a "symptom" so to speak, but a blockage of the indigo center.

Any thoughts?

Also, New Agers tend to say things such as: the body doesn't matter, we are just light. I disagree. We are all things, and particularly since we chose to be here we chose this existence which includes a body. Respect the body, be a good caretaker, and also show the same respect for others.

I agree to some extent. I was of the same notion, that body didn't matter, but not because I thought that "we are just light", but of an arrogant thinking that as long as I want it to be strong and healthy, it will be strong and healthy. Just now, I am learning to be more humble about it, and take care of it. Still, thanks for this reminder.
