A viewer asks: “One approach advocated to increase human happiness is by reducing people’s level of negative emotion. In this view, bad feelings are the by-product of bad cognitions and irrational beliefs. Personal development is then a process of managing one’s emotions by understanding and controlling them, so as to respond to situations in a more balanced and constructive way. Some people, though, would see this as repressing natural energy. Such energy should be cathartically expressed, otherwise it can cause illness if stored in the body. Given what GetWisdom has discovered about the layers of the mind, how much benefit is there in pursuing conscious changes to thoughts as a way to reduce negative emotion?”

A practitioner asks: “Many people can create a metaphor to represent experience of physical pain, illnesses or other upset. Presumably anyone can invite metaphors to come into consciousness for any aspects of life – health, wisdom, relationships, etc., from their intuition or imagination. To what extent though can the conscious mind alter the metaphor to achieve a significant healing benefit? For example, if a metaphor occurred of a burning fire as a symbol for a pain in the body would it be beneficial to imaginatively put the fire out, so to speak, using water? Is there benefit to casually using imagery exercises to impact cellular consciousness or karmic cordings to other people, or is this too simplistic?”
