Clearing Up Some Misunderstandings

It has come to my attention that there are people who regard the Three Principles of Innate Health and the community surrounding it as dangerous. This comes from a misunderstanding of the Three Principles and/or from Three Principles practitioners who are explaining themselves badly. I would like to make a few clarifications so there won't be any misunderstandings.

The Three Principles does not say that your experience isn't real or doesn't matter, or that your feelings are not real or valid (only that your experience comes to you via thought).


The Three Principles does not say that all thoughts are false (only that not all thoughts are true).


The Three Principles does not say that you should never try using psychotherapy or psychiatric drugs (although many people who have studied the Three Principles have found that they no longer needed psychotherapy or psychiatric drugs--but there is nothing wrong with using those things as long as you are finding them helpful).


The Three Principles does not say that you should not take concrete actions to change your situation if you feel change is needed (in fact, sometimes your innate wisdom will tell you to take concrete actions). Particularly, if you are in an abusive relationship, the Three Principles would never tell you to stay in that relationship just because your perception of the relationship comes to you via thought. If you feel you may be in danger, you should try to leave the relationship, as long as you can do so safely.


Sometimes you may need the help of an outside perspective to sort through some of these issues. Maybe you need someone else to point out that your situation needs to be changed for your own safety, if you are feeling unsure of yourself. Maybe you need someone to help you sort through your thoughts and feelings and determine if you need further mental health or other support.


So please don't hesitate to reach out.
