The main theme of BPPH is that people are not ready to heal. It seems to be the major obstacle to healing. TTom posted the list of clues on who is not ready to heal. That list holds true but at the center of the list is "readiness." I can tell some0ne everything they need to heal and it won't do any good unless they are ready. Everyone should remind themselves of the purpose of TMS if they want to move ahead. HBP is all anyone truly needs, unless they aren't ready. If they need more time and reassurance they then begin to control their own pace by seeking others means, books, techniques, therapists, and voodoo warriors. But when they finally have enough suffering and are ready to yield they heal. In between then and now is the dance of the unmet needs.

The signs they are not ready are everywhere. One sign is throwing HBP across the room, another is continually posting questions that are all easily answered in the many books on TMS. Therefore, another sign that people are not ready to heal is that they want fast and easy answers. Those who are ready pull back with great patience and begin the slower process of deeper understanding. Healing comes from seeing deeper not from doing things (to heal, not life changes).

TMS occurs for a reason, those who deeply connect with that reason all do well. Those who can't grasp the concept continue to TMS. It's stark but common, and so can be considered a mistake in healing.
