The Grand Purpose

The Grand Purpose tosses the old map on health and uses a correct and accurate map. The GP challenges and calls out the shortcomings of both natural and medical intervention while showing an attainable path to healing. This path requires the ability to confront your addiction and be open to change. All health conditions have an addiction and emotion link that must be addressed to heal. The broken record of the old map focuses on external causes for healing. The focus is on luck, chance and genetics along with a belief on an erroneous and flawed Germ Theory. The workbook allows any person wanting better answers to change characteristics, traits, tendencies, and habits in the past that have created illness. The emotional link between you and your illness is explained. The exercises that follow are described by some as radical yet safe and comforting. Healing does not come from someone's magic touch, nor does it come from a pill. Anytime we look outside ourselves we are seeking relief versus healing. Healing is living with the focus of unity, while magic is separation which seeks external treatments. Relief care is not healing. Relief care is either naturally or medically suppressing a symptom or providing a treatment that allows your body to heal on its own. The GP address the remarkable pattern that only 20 percent of the public has saved adequately for retirement, and only 20 percent of relationships/marriage are healthy functioning, with no codependency, no divorce, no infidelity etc. With health, we see only 20 percent, not on drugs. Each: finances, relationships, and health have an interconnected effect. Not addressing your finances with respect to your illness or not addressing your relationships with respect to your illness will most certainly be the missing link. Dogmatists refuse to change changeable views. This applies to the surgeon who is dogmatically opposed to an important study proving his surgery is only for his benefit, or the natural doctor similarly providing unnecessary treatments. When confronted with new information or even different ideas the knee-jerk person is resisting for two reasons 1. Making us uncomfortable with past custom 2. Humbling ourselves on being wrong. As stated throughout the book the physics of change requires a shift from external, harsh blame, to internalizing by taking charge through gently accepting vices and pain as purposeful. If we make the vice "bad" and the virtue "good" we get stuck in old religious and medical maps that don't work and in many ways have caused a barrier to healing. This book will not be embraced by the blamer simply because of the lack of appreciation for all things being purposeful. The person wanting to argue that sick is bad and healthy is good is stuck on judgment and separation. The person who wants to find an exception with genetics or an accident does the same. For the same reasons, you can't force someone into loving you with fear, coercion, money, or guilt. The focus is the outcome.
