The entire idea is like putting out a fire by dowsing it with a bucket of gasoline.

Our souls are sometimes tested spiritually. This is a different perception than mental phenomenon, but mental phenomenon may be altered by that perception.

Christianity is a spiritual life.

When tested by situations described in the article, even in dreams, the solution is provided to us by God through faith in Christ. From study of His Word, God the Holy Spirit grows our spirit and sanctifies our soul.

Testing is part of that life. When we remain in fellowship with Him throughout the testing, we are advancing in His walk.

If we choose to rewrite the test in our own volition, we fail by placing ourselves before Him.

I am not surprised that a worldly solution to such testing is anything other than through faith in Christ. Any solution other than through Christ simply further corrupts the soul.

BTW, it is interesting to note that man may be forgiven sins against the Father or the Son as they have been judged at the Cross, but sins against the Holy Spirit are not so judged to allow immediate forgiveness. I am not cognizant that their resolution have been discussed in Scripture. Attempting to use one’s eternal life in the spiritual domain to rewrite the ending of a dream independently of God not only scars the soul, but may be far more damaging and permanent than many other temptations.

You’ve obviously never experienced exented PSTD or Complex PSTD.

While faith is a incredible foundation, stress disorders are reactions to worldly existence and require intervention.

Faith alone doesn’t health a toothache.
