"Reaching Up" ...
the Weekly Mini-Column
by Dr. Jim Rosen
"A small dose of good psychology every week"
 

Welcome to Reaching Up

  Reaching Up is the weekly mini-column written by Dr. Jim Rosen.  He is a Clinical Psychologist who is both a therapist and a teacher.  He has been in private practice since 1976 and has taught psychology at five colleges & universities.
     Dr. Rosen draws upon his therapy, his teaching methods, and his own life experiences to generate a column that causes many people to say, "You wrote this just for me!"  His writing is personal, insightful and relevant.
     You are invited to read a new article every week on this web page.  Each Sunday morning, Dr. Rosen's current article is posted on this page, and it remains here until the following Sunday morning.
     In Reaching Up Dr. Rosen teaches you about: anxiety, depression, panic, self-esteem, self-love, anger, relationship enhancement, healthy communications, guilt, behavior problems, marriage & family enrichment, peace of mind, stress, effective parenting, grief, inner security, assertiveness, and strengthening your relationship with God.  Look for a meaningful article every week.

Here is this week's mini-column:

 
Our Oneness is Complete
by Dr. Jim Rosen
©2012 Dr. Jim Rosen

      You and I are one.  We are bound together.  We are all one child of God.  It is not that you are a reflection of me, or that I am a reflection of you.  Rather, you and I are pieces of the same being.  We are not separate beings.  What I do to you and toward you, I literally do to me.  When I kiss your hand, I am kissing mine.  When I love and honor you as you are, I am literally loving myself.  When I am angry or upset with you and I lash out at you, I am at that same moment lashing at myself and hurting myself.  There is no separation between us.  Living on this earth in apparently separate bodies is just a distortion of our reality.  It’s just an illusion.  We wear these human skins for a while to enable us to do the learning we come here to do.  These skins give us the appearance of being separate and different, but we are not.  We are one being.  We are one child of God.  To think otherwise is to forget who we really are.  So, why would I ever want to deny my grander, bigger true self?  Why would I want to do anything but love my bigger self?
    If you would like to receive Dr. Rosen's weekly column by email, just click here drjrosen@ipa.net and mention that you want to be on the "invitation list."  There is no advertising and no sales talk.
