It seems like that is a disbelief (a negative form of belief) on your part. What do you think? " I don't like 'X' because of her style, so that means what she says is not valid and therefore anything 'X' says or refers in her writtings is also non-valid?

It's not in contrast, but in assumption. And, I really liked both posts, and I can also disagree with both posts in part. That is not my point. It was NOT about others but about what Maarten and Marie were communication about a difference in procedures and medical paradigms. Maarten did NOT validate current medical methods (though his presuppositions were that he does approve of them, or some of them as most of us probably do). What he did was give examples where current medical methods that are real NASTY can be made less NASTY by the use of Energy Psychology. Instead of fixing a real NASTY procedure he gave EP as a method for reducing, eliminating and normalizing the ugly side effects, ie in chemotherapy. >I hear that the studies are not yet done, but I see that every >scrap of scholarly and research based data is offered up, >documented, and accompanied by proper suggestions for further >research designs. What does that research or lack of research have to do with healing? (Read " Beliefs " by Robert Dilts, for more on this topic, if you want.) Nothing! ....and notice the paradigm TRAP. In fact, when someone waits for the verification of any process BEFORE they can " think " , or before they can " decide " , or before they can " take appropiate action " , or before they can make choices using their own thinking skills and their own intuition, THEN they are 'stuck' psychologically. Then they are no more than robots waiting for someone else to punch a script into their mental keyboard before they can even burp. Did you notice that? > done its full duty.

This I agree with. So, what is a solution for yourself, and for others of some intelligence? The entire point of my first post was NOT that Maarten nor Marie were wrong nor right, but the premise they based their decision making processes on could be refined in a manner that gave choice based upon their own information and intuitions. For example, doing anything because someone else tells you to is a limitation of your own power. We are taught from the crib to pay attention to reality, to obey the laws of man, to worship books and leaders. While that can help our society run smoother (actually that isn't working too well either), that type of follow-the-leader behavior limits YOU. Belief in leaders, rules, and outside authorities limits you from creating the life, health and abundance you want. So, after you see all the test, read all the verifications and the books by authorities, you should still have the freedom and the intelligence to own your own energy and decide for yourself. So, what is the balance point? Where is the balance point between those philosophies? In our own heads. Enough for now.
