Mr Schwartz, I can't tell you how much you changed my life, it brings me to tears as I write this. My OCD was so horrible I couldn't think, it ruined my schoolwork, my job, my university and my relationships. I used your knowledge and saved my life from sadness and pain, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sounds like what he is saying is that the truth will set you free, even from ocd. Tell yourself the truth and believe it and allow it to change your thinking and behaviour.

In 1999 I read his book in a time where NO psychiatrist would have accepted the neurobiology of the brain, when having OCD as he did. His 4 Step Method failed to me, but only few years later i got as one of the first patients in Germany Deep Brain Stimulation on OCD. Beside my brillant neurosurgeon , who was one of the most empathically doctor i ever had, his book showed me the basics and gave me the power to decide for this surgery. Coming from a YBOCS of 40, which is the absolute maximum in OCD, it took some time, but i am 95 % recovered from OCD now since 17 years. Nowadays i have an own website about DBS in OCD to help others. DR. Schwartz was a pioneer in accepting that something biological may be the reason for OCD and part of my decision.

It's because of Researchers like Dr Jeffrey, that many people even outside the US, have an understanding of what OCD is, and how a possible training of the brain can be done!! In Hinduism, we have high regard for such people, who brought a new insight or tool, to overcome something very complicated, and consider them as truly blessed and noble souls, who were sent by the Almighty for a particular purpose ( in the given earthly sojourn)

Thank God for the existence of such humans. You can observe him, listen to him and see in his eyes that he is the one saying the truth. He's been struggling for over 4 decades to show us that this is the proper perspective that one should adopt for a healthy Life. Thank you Dr. Schwatz, I am extremely grateful for your existence, otherwise how could we refuse to Believe in those reductionist, deterministic, materialistic perspective. We need people like you Dr. Schwartz, people that stands up straight in face of those groupe(God only knows what their motive are! They want to take the only thing that makes us human!), we need people like you to stand up, articulâtes things properly and shed the light on what is the healthiest path and who we truly are! Thank you, thank you and a 1000 thank you!

If the belief of science is that it can answer every question, then it must reduce the totality of everything that can be asked to only that which they can answer in the belief that everything in the universe can be confined to their own understanding. Therefore anything for which it doesn't or cannot have an answer is disregarded as irrelevant as the questions would be irrelevant. If the questions are irrelevant, then these are questions which would not be pursued and eventually never thought of in the first place...

I think he is making a good point about science, it is a tool rather than an answer to everything. That makes science very important, but it provides no guarantee to be the universal solution. Once the heart stops of a vehicle accident victim, science ceases to be anything. It cannot then be the answer.

One must have GREAT FAITH(far more than any other religious person on the planet) to believe science can and will answer everything. And here is some sad news for the materialistic atheist. Once science answers everything, even science itself will become a science stopper. The point is, there's always an inevitable end to the materialistic way of thinking. I do admire the GREAT FAITH the materialistic atheist have even though they never ponder it themselves.

But our thoughts and how we behave is pretty much robotic. We are beings that are forced to live in a world where everything essentially is information. We can only exist in the ranges of this information. Every "decision" is based on your previous life experiences. We don't consciously think. Thoughts just arise out of nowhere and can only work with the previous gathered information. If you start to investigate your thoughts you will realize what i mean. And there will be sort of a dissociation between "you" and your thoughts which is very strange. But again we are beings that are forced to exist in a world where everything is information. We are a part of everything and came out of everything, we are a happening , we don't really do the happening. Something that is existing will always underlie certain boundaries. There for we are not free. The word free is completely misleading anyways. How does it come that not everyone is born with the same potential? why are some people less creative than others? why are some people "smarter"? People sort of get born with boundaries to their being. One self has not chosen the environment hes born in. Environment definitely shapes our being. According to some spiritual teachings we are not our thoughts. We are the awareness behind our thoughts. But we certainly do need thoughts to operate in this world and to do something meaningful. Or is life about siting under a tree meditating 24/7 and depriving your self from every pleasure life has to offer, cause it essentially will lead to suffering. I guess it takes a whole new level to realize the unconscious patterns and programs your mind obtained over the years and we certainly do have the ability, but this ability, again arises from the previous life happenings which we barely had any influence what so ever about. Life is weird, especially as a human being and i dont really understand anything at all the more i hear, read or see. Im just more confused on a higher level. But life feels robotic to me, correct me if im wrong.
