“Indeed, the very first acknowledgment (as far as I am aware) of the attraction of mutilated bodies occurs in a founding description of mental conflict. It is a passage in The Republic, Book IV, where Plato’s Socrates describes how our reason may be overwhelmed by an unworthy desire, which drives the self to become angry with a part of its nature.” FirstsMayBookSelfReasonBodyDesireConflictAngryAttractionDescriptionRepublicPassagesPlatoFoundingOverwhelmedUnworthyAcknowledgmentPlato S Book:Regarding the Pain of Others Source: Regarding the Pain of Others
“You have to look at your own thought forms. Are you sitting around and thinking a lot of negative thoughts? These injure the subtle body. When you hate, when you are angry, you bring that energy through you.” ThinkingLooksBodyFormHateEnergyBuddhismMindfulnessSittingNegativeAngrySubtleNegative ThoughtsSitting Around Author:Frederick Lenz
“When you're angry, you can't fight rationally. Your body chemistry is all messed up. Your energy goes to all the wrong places. You can't do anything well except get angrier. That's why I like fighting guys who are pumped up on steroids. Fighting is all about relaxing and releasing tension, so your body is flexible and fluid, able to bend and flex quickly, like water. I like fighting angry guys who are really tense. They can't think right, and they can't fight right.” ThinkingWellsBodyAbleGuyFightingEnergyWaterAngryYour BodyTensionMmaChemistryFlexibleTenseFluidMessed UpSteroidBody Chemistry Author:Frank Shamrock
“Humans said one thing with their bodies and another with their mouths and everyone had to spend time and energy figuring out what they really meant.

“Most people do not realize that as they continue to find things to complain about, they disallow their own physical well-being. Many do not realize that before they were complaining about an aching body or a chronic disease, they were complaining about many other things first. It does not matter if the object of your complaint is about someone you are angry with, behavior in others that you believe is wrong, or something wrong with your own physical body. Complaining is complaining, and it disallows improvement.” PeopleIfsFirstsBelieveWellsDoeMatterBodyRealizingObjectsDiseaseBehaviorAngryComplainingImprovementWell BeingComplaintsPhysical Body Author:Esther Hicks
