People help themselves. If you explain according to your capacity how to improve the situation and the person makes effort they can progress, can you do more?. The weakest little finger can be made into a strong and vigorous one through proper exercise.
The notion that it is possible to help a person without their making effort is false. All states of mind are temporary, they must either get better or worse, if the sufferer makes good effort his condition will improve, if he does not his state will worsen.
Drugs alleviate symptoms, they do not cure. The side effects of drugs can be debilitating and are often horrific. I met a guy recently who had a drug side effect fit, for him it was a matter of course he'd been on very powerful anti-psychotics for a very long time. Others die, they are a statistic, that's all. Psychiatry is fear based and often the main care is to prevent a worst case scenario (by over drugging) that may never happen. They see their patients as patients. I strongly suspect that considerations such as long term achievement rarely enter the diagnosis and treatment process.
The BK run both a university and a spiritual hospital in the same place. Some learn about deep spiritual things and become angels, others are learning how to think and help themselves. The BK can and do give special help but its important not to become distracted by those further along the way. The BK antidote for getting too impressed is "where did these qualities come from?" The answer is Baba the source of all strengths. So we work with what we have and opportunities to progress come our way. When hope faith and effort are present it is possible to move mountains.
That thoughts can create chemicals in the body that are far superior to man made drugs seems to me to be true. Medical science so far has not proved it, this does not mean that it is false. My preference is a thought of optimism to one of despair. My understanding of the soul is that it is made of light and that according to its purity and piety it has strength. But science wonders if there even is a soul. Certainly they will never find it with a miroscope. BK have knowledge about the soul and how it loses its power and is influenced by matter. They also have knowledge of God and how the soul can feel his prescence and become whole once more. Science recognises none of this. A depressed person sees the worst in themselves and often the worst in others. The BK teach people to look for good qualities both in and outside themselves. Is this an antidote for depression? I think that over a period of time, if practiced conscientiously, it is.
Fairly often I come in contact with depressed, anxious, bipolar and schizophrenic individuals. Nowadays there is an emphasis on their living in the community. Often these people are isolated and need as much kindness as they can get. Sometimes it takes many encounters before they can even begin to open up. Its very important to know what these people are going through before one tries to help but sometimes all one can do is guess.
I find that often it is often possible to give them hope and faith, along with something to do that makes them much kinder to themselves. Why psychiatry cannot do this is beyond me. When I see these people, they tend to smile and some are happy just to see me. I love doing this stuff and if a person tries to come off drugs (I never influence them) I pay special attention because they tend to progress very quickly. These are golden opportunities that help me too, in one way I am grateful that psychiatry does such a bad job.
James Allen had insight. He has explained to me in terms that I can understand much about how BK knowledge works and he also speaks for me, the common man. I have no idea how many people James Allen helped, I just know that I am one of them and his help has been considerable - is good karma possible after death? That jayadeepan can read his book and within hours say what he has is very similar to a person who studies the Murli, then forgets all about it. Its horses for courses. Often people do not recognise the real and substantial hand of help. Its the tiniest fraction of our world that can appear on paper. Sometimes when people write their ideas are tried and tested, for others they are just bandied about, for others their value is that they can be arranged to prove their point. Interesting.
Kindest regards,
John
