Comment on The Secret to total freedom and empowerment by Erol Fox

Erol Fox — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:15:30 +0000

I wonder if there aren’t two kinds of thoughts about freedom. One is the “moving away from” kind of freedom. It’s a kind of freedom defined as “not” something, like away from any and all constraint. That’s like thinking that being rich in terms of lack of debt.

I see so many people divorce today or not able to hold a job because they think of freedom as only they decide, no one can control me. But under that thinking, a wife can have sex with anyone she wants any time she wants. No man is going to control her. So, maybe we are always controlled and being controlled is good. Think of a parent that doesn’t control their child. The child yells and destroys everything in sight. The new age parent wants the child to be totally “free”. Would that be good for the child?

Maybe when we think of a “moving toward” kind of freedom, as if it were a place we are going to, instead of a place we are trying to avoid, that place could be called love, for lack of a better word. When a parent truly loves their child, there is benevolent control from self-destruction. When a couple love each other, there is mutual control that keeps us from doing harm. Maybe control is a good thing, it’s just where it’s controlling a car so it can race well or reckless control like a demolition derby.

Hmmm… good article here about control and freedom.

Thanks, this was really wonderful to read. Michael Jakcson was greatly misunderstood and a victim yes. I hope he is at a better place, where none can bully him, like the media did.

Comment on How to get over it: Getting rid of emotional baggage by How do I get it done

How do I get it done — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 16:14:42 +0000

Dear Doctor,
My story is one that you’ve heard. I came from a verbally abusive home. I saw my mother phyiscally abused and she abused me physically and verbally in some ways and there was some sexually abuse by my step-father as well. I now know because of all this I became a people pleaser but I also hosted a lot of anger inside. There is also self-esteem issues. I became promiscuous confusing sex for love this has been from my teens until my adult life. My last relationship wasn’t good but it lasted off and on for 15 years. I found out while we were in our off stage (but still sleeping together) he’d been in a relationship for 4 years wit someone else. We got back together and within months he cheated with an old girl friend of his. Doctor I know what I need to do. I need to get myself right. I need to get counseling and I need to not be in a relationship until I handle all those things……..but why is it so hard to change. This anger and emotional baggae in deeply rooted in my soul. I keep thinking about him. I keep thinking if I change he will come back and I know I shouldn’t waste my time. Where do I start first with this healing and letting go of the emotional baggage that I’ve carried from one relationship to another. I have had some great guys but I never knew or know what a relationship is suppose to be like. I was never taught how to love or treat a man.
