No different than any other culture, perhaps just sadder that an esoteric tradition that has demonstrated its Truth so well was not disseminated throughout the rest of the culture except as denomination and identity: Pharasitical attention to rules and appearance -- external locus of control or a struggle against it -- instead of personal acquisition and incorporation of a truly better way like that clearly stated in Patanjali's sutras or expressed poetically and metaphorically in the Gita and all the Upanishads -- seated at the foot of a master -- an internal locus of control. (Don't let me fool you -- I make no claim to be a scholar.)

Nonviolence, Truth, Integrity. Chastity, and "Letting go" (non-hoarding) simplicity, contentment, discipline, self-awareness and God-reliance.

Too bad the public at large either rejects or has never heard of these extremely simple guidelines that could stabilize the fluctuations in consciousness if practiced in all matters as a way of life.

Ultimately, these sutras are identical to the world-view expressed in the Be-attitudes, and in the 10 commandments -- which were also sutras -- to those who have ears and are ready to listen.
The state of robust HEALTH/healing/wholeness -- shaalom -- available to the disciple transcends any possible medical application.

Your Medscape article to which I responded said that you would be writing on the chakras. I look forward to it, as I've already seen their presence in everyday medical practice. but I can't and don't say anything.

Thanks for this post. This post made a lot of changes in my thinking. My blind belief in finding the reason for the depression, suicidal thoughts got a new meaning. [I would like to mention here that few therapists also do not understand this real fact and adds fuel to the problems of a patient by holding someone as responsible, what would be the patient situation after attending the therapy sessions with such therapist ? !! ]

The last line of the post 'Then, she closed her eyes again' led me to think- Why did she close her eyes again?...Was she scared of her own opinion about herself? Was she scared/or disturbed by: a) the reflection of herself in the mirror OR b)her own 'critical' observation of the reflection of herself in the mirror. Which was real?

What do you think reflects what we 'really are': what we appear to ourselves when we stare at our own reflection, OR what we think we appear to others when others look at us?

'A gmipse of the truth' - Who knows the truth? Her own observation about herself could be skewed. Others opinion about herself could be false. Her own reflection could be a mirage.. "What she really is/what she appears to be" - or the truth (i suppose) u mean in ur post- is unknown and can be anything you think you wnat it to be
