That's a toughie...but recently I've become aware of MS and am currently trying to understand it's effects and symptoms. So I came up with the feasibility of reactivating the production of Myelin, the protective sheath that coats the nerve system ..or so I thought.
Although the process doesn't yet exist...Re-Myelination IS being studied by the brainy guys and gals.

Sharon Stone is living in the US of A, a country that gives everyone the right to speak up, hence she is entitled to her own opinion. However, her statement on TV about politics and religion/ideology just made her sound ridiculous. To say that those who died of the earthquake (which includes children) deserved it is sickening. How about the Thailand tsunami, the Myanmar cyclone, and the 9/11 event, was it karma too? If everything is about karma then there won't be a single nation on earth.

Thought? I had better get myself an education. I was 33 years old at the time! In the interim 20 years, I got myself 2 degrees and a Postgrad Certificate in Management. Hard work but worthwhile.

For many years I lived in a state of great fear and continuous fluctuation between states of depression and high anxiety. This was to the point of becoming almost unbearable. One night I woke up in the middle of the night, as I had many times before, in a state of even more intense dread and fear. The mind had lots of reasons why I was feeling fearful, and yet that state was continuous no matter what my external situation was. It became so unbearable that suddenly the thought occurred to me, "I cannot live with myself any longer." That thought was the trigger for a transformation. The thought kept repeating itself many times in my head and then suddenly there was a stepping back from the thought and a looking at the thought. I asked, "Who is the 'I' and who is the self that I cannot live with?"
So, I asked, "Who is the self that I cannot live with? Are there one or two? If I cannot live with my self, who is that self?" And then, beyond thought, there was a recognition of the "unhappy me," as I later called it, as being something completely non-substantial and fictional. Then consciousness withdrew completely from identification with that "unhappy me." At that moment the whole structure of the "unhappy me" and its pain collapsed because the withdrawal of identification was so complete. What was left was simply beingness or presence. There was still a moment of fear. It felt like being drawn into a hole within myself, a vast whirlpool, and a realization arose in my chest, "Resist nothing." That was the key. Then resistance was relinquished and I don't know what happened after that.
All I do know is that the next morning I woke up and even before opening my eyes I heard the sounds of birds and it was so precious; everything was so precious. Then I opened my eyes and everything was alive and new and fresh as if I had never seen it before. And I walked around and picked up things and looked at them. I was amazed at everything. There was no understanding of it. I was not even trying to understand anything. It was just so beautiful. Then I walked around the city in the same state, even in the midst of traffic. I was in a state of amazement and it was all so beautiful.
After some research, I now realise that I was in such intense pain that my ego simply collapsed and along with that all need, clinging attachement, fear and emotional pain went with it. I resisted nothing and learnt to accept the cosmic flow of life. Things, people, situations now come and go and I enjoy them…………..while they last. There is no pain or clinging on their departure.
That is because my ego essentially "died" and I allowed it happen without resistance. That is the only way I can explain it.

There are plenty of things in this world to THINK about, there is nothing in this world to WORRY about. Ever since I've come to grasp this thought, life isn't that bad to deal with.

To answer this you have to ask yourself what is intelligence! Is it your ability to solve problems, to rectify problems or create them. We are all intelligent we just don't know how to access the information.
