What's all the worry about?

I was talking with a woman the other day about stress. She told me her stress was that she worried all the time about her friends and family. When I asked her if there was a real reason to worry, she admitted that there was not. Everyone she worried about was fine and there were no known problems lurking around the corner for any of them. Yet, she worried.

I further inquired as to whether her level of worry was a hindrance for her or whether she could easily deal with it. After she thought about it, she said that at times it was distracting. When she was at her job, she never had attention on her friends and family. But as soon as work was over, the constant worry would start up. Yes, it was a hindrance, sometimes more than others.

Worry is a manifestation of fear. One worries because one is not sure what is going to occur in the future, whether that future is in the next few minutes or years later. It’s uncertainty. There may be a fairly logical reason for worry or fear. Perhaps the husband just lost his job and there is no current replacement. Maybe a child has been diagnosed with a serious illness. These are understandable fears, and yet sometimes, the fear itself can be an obstruction to quick and intelligent handlings, or even just a necessary tolerance of the situation until one can effectively handle it.

But what about the unreasonable fears and worries? The mother who is sure little Sara is going to get snatched by some madman the minute the child is out of her sight. Or the executive assistant who is constantly anxious that she’s going to get fired, in spite of the fact that she works hard at her job and is competent. Or the husband who secretly thinks his loving wife is going to leave him, although she’s happily married.

Where does negative thinking, self-invalidation, lack of self-esteem and personal security come from? What would happen if a person could locate the hidden, underlying root cause of these things and thereby eliminate them? And what if they could be eliminated without the use of drugs or years of talking about them without ever solving them?

Well, there is a way, and it’s called Dianetics. The author, L. Ron Hubbard, extensively researched the mind and made some astounding discoveries and actually uncovered the real, hidden source of unwanted pains, sensations, emotions and attitudes and allows a person to overcome them and rise to their full potential. By using Dianetics, a person gets rid of unnecessary stress, anguish, unreasonable fears, illogical thinking, depression, and even many physical problems that don’t resolve with medical treatment. The workability of Dianetics can be observed by anyone understanding the subject and applying it themselves,

Why You Feel Stress

You've heard the old saying about getting back up on the horse. It refers to the concept of confronting that which has caused you pain. It infers that if you don't get back on that horse, you will remain afraid of the horse, and possibly all horses in your future.

Let's suppose you got in a car accident and incurred some injuries, plus the hassell of dealing with body shops and rentals and insurance companies on top of that. Now you've got a painful incident attached to your life. Not necessarily something that will dramatically change your life (or it could if the injuries were severe enough, or the insurance company ruled against you, etc.), but I'll wager it was at least stressful. Further, there's a good chance you will be somewhat nervous about cars or intersections or such in the future. If you were to come across another accident sometime in the future, it could easily stir up the memory of your own accident and bring back to the forefront the pain and stress you incurred back then.

And then there's this: it's highly unlikely you've only had one or two painful experiences in your life. Big or little, traumatic or not, every time you received some sort of pain, physical or emotional, your mind stored it. And this storehouse of pain can come back on you with a vengence. Some of the common symptoms are stress, anxiety, illness, negative thinking, insecurity, self doubt, pain, and more.

And you thought it was only because of your boss!

Dianetics is the answer as to how you get back on that horse. Without it, you are doomed to carry around the pain and stress of that accident in your mind forever. Dianetics shows you exactly how and why that's harmful to you, how your mind stores these painful moments, hides some or all of them, and then how they are triggered and then create stress, physical pain, moodiness, unreasonable fears, anxiety, and more. Dianetics gets rid of the unwanted feelings, emotions, sensations, and pains.

And Dianetics works.

Do you make decisions based on logic or emotion?

You’ve heard the phrase “Let cooler heads prevail.” It’s a universally accepted notion that people make better decisions when they are calm and collected, rather than stressed, angry, bitter, apathetic, terrorized, or just plain “riled up.”

Dianetics (which means “through thought or through mind”) is the subject about how the mind can take over sometimes and cause one to be more emotional rather than analytical or logical. The result is usually a rash decision, bad feelings, stupidity, or even violence.

The accumulated pain in a person’s past, whether it be emotional pain or physical pain (the mind calculates both as non-survival for the organism), has a way of getting stirred up at times, causing anxiety, depression, negative thinking, insecurity and other similar and unwanted mental and physical conditions. The book Dianetics: Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard explains in detail how this occurs.

Here are some examples:

Joe gets in an auto accident while making a left turn at an intersection. He incurs injuries and a lot of car damage. Later, when Joe comes to that or similar intersection again, he decides to take the long way instead of the more efficient left turn option. He’s nervous about that intersection. His decision is ruled by a past painful moment (emotional) and he will probably experience an unpleasant physical reaction, such as accelerated heart beat, sweating, anxiousness, etc. He may even experience some pains in his body where he was injured during the accident.

Another example. A young child gets seriously ill and has to go to the hospital. Treatment is painful and scary, and he’s pretty sure he doesn’t like doctors now. As he grows up, he’s healthy and has never had cause to see a doctor for many years. One day as an adult, he experiences a strong pain in his side. Even though he normally avoids doctors, he knows he needs to go anyway, as logic would dictate. Even though he’s nervous, he goes and gets checked out. Turns out he has appendicitis, which gets handled and which could have killed him if not attended to right away. Logic led him to make the right decision even though he was nervous and frightened (emotional) about it. Here’s an example where logic and analytical thinking was greater than his emotional state. This individual had a greater endowment of basic beingness and analytical power than his reactive content, at least in that situation.

One more example. A woman has had a long-term relationship with a man. They have a painful breakup, which causes her to feel sad and depressed. She now has a hard time getting interested in another relationship. She’s distrustful and wary, causing her potential relationships (if any) to fizzle out before thet even get started. She backs out or causes friction so she won’t be back in the position of being dumped again, and thereby reexperience all that pain. The result is no husband or family, which had been a major goal in her life. Her decisions are backed by emotion, not logic. Instead of realizing that the first relationship was peculiar to that man and that his cheating on her was just that guy and not every guy, she unwittingly fell into the mental trap that “every guy was a cheater.” This is not logical thinking, and her emotional thinking led her to make decisions that were antipathetic to her goals – marriage and family.

Dianetics explains very clearly how exactly the reactive mind is able to take over one’s thinking and even physical reactions. When the reactive mind is in play, the result is always negative: stress, anxiety, depression, stupidity, physical pains and even illness.

The discoveries of Dianetics not only shows how this occurs, but what can be done about it. Man has now evolved physically and intellectually to the point where the mind can be understood. And it’s not drugs or electric shock that handles it. Those outdated methods actually perpetuate the unwanted conditions and then mask them at the same time!
