Human Potential & Transformation

I was surprised to learn how much I had identified with these prisoners and their struggle to cope with their emotions:

These people have been ignored and are desperate — hungry — for someone to help them to find a better way to cope... How do they experience those emotions? They are literally experiencing sensations on the body and the old habitual pattern is to react to those sensations. But in [the meditation technique] Vipassana, you learn just to observe those sensations because that's what they really are. And not react to them.

All of this reminds me of my own journey that I still struggle with today. I don't know what it means to be touched by this story — perhaps that we are all trying to find our humanity and ultimate freedom within ourselves.

Am here to appreciate Dr.Timothy for using his herbal medicine to cure my Herpes virus. since 2016 i have been living with this virus and it has been giving me challenges, I was so perplexed cause i have been taking several drugs to be cured but all of my effort was in vain,one evening i was browsing through the internet then i saw several testimonies about Dr.Timothy curing people from Herpes virus and immediately i contacted his email address i told him about my sickness and he told me that i will be cured within 2 weeks he gave me some instructions and which i rightly followed. so he prepared a herbal medicine for me and sent it to me which i used for 21 days and everything was like a dream to me and my Herpes virus was totally gone why don't you contact Dr.Timothy he is very good and honest. contact him via email address; goodhealthherbalfoundation@yahoo.com OR website https://5dc41d5b6d60d.site123.me
