Please Pray For Joshua, Samanthe, Kayla, JJ, and Johnny

[GeneHrsy]

My Son is 35, had several joint surgeries (knees, neck, back, shoulder) and has evolved a dependency on prescription drugs. There are three children in his care, (four total Sam's 19) yet he hasn't been able to provide for them in a manner that meets societies norms, and feels the guilt of living with his Mom for more than ten years. His only plan for himself, right now, is to try to collect his SS benefits (which aren't much due to lack of working for a living) and not going to add to self esteem.

I seem to be projecting my disappointment on him ... I'm hoping the beautiful spirits I have met here will have more insight to help him than I seem to have been able to muster through the years.

Nothing I have done to help seems to make any lasting difference in his condition.

I hope you will Know what to pray for him.

Thank you all for sharing your blessing!!!

hiya gene,
i know i dont need to say anything to you about understanding his situation, he must be really bugged off with his body as he cant be able to do what he wants to do.
my thoughts are going to him now and i do understand his predicament as i have freinds with very similar problems, i also see what you are dealing with to as in the past a close friend of mine (not my son though) used his back as an excuse to stay away from work, after i had an argument with him saying he could do a job with very little labour work he got to it to prove a point, and six months later he has got a job in electricals. thats not my doing but i had a little to do with it.

my positivity pours over to you both and may he (your son) find peace in his life and and begin more deeper what you are trying to say to him.
loads of love from eyeman.

Wow Gene that is a tough one. On the one hand you love your son and struggle because he struggles and on the other hand you know in your heart there really isn't anything you can do for him. Your son's challenge is one many go through. Joint issues have to do with resisting movement. He is resisting something whether himself or life in general. The joint issues are showing him this but having the joint issues makes his problems that much more difficult. Unfortunately there really is nothing anyone can do for him as he has to learn to pull himself up. He has the ability he just may not know it right now so my wish for him is that he finds his truth and worth so that his pain is eased. I also send wishes to his children that they know despite their father's problems they are also loved.

Love,
Michelle

Thank you both.
Michelle,

That is the problem exactly.
Where did you learn about joint problems/life connection??

His children take care of him -- backwards to what I think it ought to be.

I pray for the spirit to awaken the mind - the mind to heal the body.

Hey Gene,
Just read your post here, and my heart got tugged. Michelle, is one smart little cookie, eh?! You betcha! FYI, I use Louise L. Hay in determining some of the connections of the body's ailments to specific emotional trauma not released. This gal is awesome. Her foundation is made of folks like Wayne Dyer, and Greg Braden...intelligences..superlative!! Gene, I'm wondering if you have ever read anything about DNA memory, cell memory etc, and how that effects life in the present? Sometimes the stuff we are carrying around does not belong to us, but to our ancestors. I know that sounds a bit 'out' there, but we are so complex, and our tendencies/traumas are sometimes the products of generations and generations of stored memory. (Some also see this as the basis for reincarnation, and our necessity to clear old 'stuff.' No matter, the principle is the same...clean and clear the blocks.) I think I've mentioned that I work with essential oils primarily, and when I touch an individual's body, I can very often read what they are 'holding' in the physical. Referencing L. Hay, You Can Heal Your Life, joints and arthritis indicate: 'feeling unloved, criticism, resentment. New Thought Pattern: I am love, I now choose to love and approve of myself. I see others with love. Joints: represent changes in direction in life and ease of these movements. New Thought Pattern: I easily flow with change. My life is Divinely Guided and I am always going in the best direction. Shoulders: Represent our ability to carry out experiences in life joyously. We make life a burden by our attitude. New Thought Pattern: I choose to allow all my experiences to be joyous and loving.
This may or may not be applicable, but this is a good source, and really a good read. Ms. Hay is wonderful!

In the meantime, my prayer is your prayer, my strength is your strength, and my weakness is mine....all mine! I'm not sharing that/those, nup!!!...ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You take care, I seem to remember a couple of 'owee's' with Dad too.
I'm on to ACIM. So glad to see your posts. ACIM carrys a clout!

Hi Gene,

I guess for the most part it has just been reading. I've used a pretty good book The Bodymind Workbook by Debbie Shapiro but the Louise Hays book Lyndell mentioned is one I have heard numerous people talk about so it might be worth checking out. What I will say is your instincts really know all this. Our life is very symbolic so just think about what something does, a joint moves, and if there are issues there then it stands to reason the issue is with movement. So though in one respect when it comes to stuff like this I just feel like I know but it is really just that I center myself and think in terms of symbolism. And then I let my heart/instinct tell me if I am on the right track. So you and everyone else has the ability it is just that when it comes to our own loved ones it is just a little harder to be objective. Pretty normal. How old are his children? They sound amazing. I too pray for a body mind healing for your son.

Love,
Michelle

Hi Gene,

I can feel that you and your son are at that point where you both want to truly reconnect to the love, the unconditional love, that you felt for each other when you first held him in your arms as a newborn...

Our behaviours are absolutely essential in enabling us to find comfort in an uncomfortable world, they're part of what we need to live the life we were born to live; to achieve what we dream. However, they can become a real burden; they're useful, but my, do they hold us back.

I had a similar-ish experience with my mum. My mum and I are two peas in a pod, which is marvellous when times are good, horrendously debilitating when bad. Needless to say we've had many a rough time, which means that we were both carrying heaps of baggage. When I returned from Australia, I was just starting to experience the sense of me being me, when I did, I saw glimmers of mum's true spirit shining through. I've always tried to be a good daughter, not knowing that there was nothing to be tried. All I had to do was see her as her true spirit and love her without condition. I realised that her life was hers to live it, in whichever way she chose, and that my life was mine: two very different, but strongly connected spirits.

We now have that special connection that needs no words... pure respect and truth without fear; aka unconditional love... the starting point was a real, no holds barred, straight from the soul, hug... the babe in arms.

Big hugs... from one babe to another.
