Not dealing with your lessons works the same way , except the interest you ’ re going to pay will come out of your body , not your bank account . Another area of collective suppression is food consumption . Food is a major hot button issue of suppression . Sugar , alcohol , bread , dairy , chips , and dips are the engines of suppression .
How do you get rid of your guilt , shame and blame ? You eat . Eat . Eat . Eat . Eat until you ’ re full , and then you eat some more . You stuff yourself full , so you don ’ t have to feel . Some of us love chocolate , others salt . But it ’ s rare to find the person who turns to salad when they ’ ve been told something they don ’ t want to hear , gets turned down for a promotion , or goes through a break-up . When I have a rough day at work , I get home and pound the corn chips . Crunch . Crunch . Crunch . Without stopping to take a breath unless my wife catches me and slows me down . Thank God for her .

Ancient Taoist healers from China discerned the Sequence of Separation from observing the patterns of nature thousands of years ago . They perceived how suppressed emotions affect the body physically as disease progresses from one organ system to the next .
Though the Universe uses emotions to physically grab your attention , emotions are not the root of disease . The root of illness is the way you suppress them . Universal Love operates out of its own infinite intelligence . Our job is to learn to trust the Universe ’ s communication . My intention is that you will become more aware of how the Sequence of Separation works in you . The only person who can really know the unique beauty and gifts that the Universe has for you is you . If I ’ ve done my job , by the end of this book , you will have a clearer sense of where you can be more responsible for your wellbeing and teach others to do the same .
