Five Incredible Ideas to Cure Disease
What is the origin of all disease? It is our behavior towards others. There it is: Like it or not. There is not only physical malfunction, but breakdowns of all sorts.
There are many types of relationships; there is the relationship towards one self, followed by the relationship between people; Then the relationship between business partners; Then the relationship between buyer and seller;
the relationship between brother and sister; the relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between parents and children; and the relationship between one nation and another.
All these relationships are arteries; spiritual arteries. These spiritual arteries; are what flow between all humans, become blocked and cause disease when humans behave badly to each other; with intolerance towards one another.
Each time we interact with someone in our life, friend or stranger, enemy or family member, we are affecting the "arteries" in our life, and in the world. If our behavior in these relationships is governed by reactive impulse and self-interest, it creates a "fatty deposit." If these blockages continue to grow and are left unchecked, "disease" sets in.
The "disease" can then manifest as poverty, war, divorce, kids on drugs, dysfunctional family, global terrorism, or a good old fashioned heart attack. But in the end, it is our behavior that determines good health or disease.
Think about it a second, if you stub your toe against a table do you curse the table, threaten the table, then hold a grudge and plan revenge against the table? Probably not, you just remind yourself to not be so careless in the future. What about if a person steps on your toe? Now do you get angry and indignant, reacting with hatred? Why is that?
Let go of all your doubts, just for a moment. Let go of all your preconceived notions about life and death, healing and medicine and all the social ills, conditioning, and cultural influences that have impacted your life. And think about this: It is so easy to blame food, or diet, or fate, or nature, or crooked business partners, or genes, or drunk drivers, the government, or our enemies for our pain and suffering.
It is too darn easy to focus upon the weapon; and not the true culprit. This kind of approach to life absolves us from all personal responsibility. After all, who wants to look in the mirror?
So, how do we cure ourselves of disease? Well, the first step is accountability. And this is, without question, the most difficult step of all to take. We must lose the victim mindset. We must realize that it was us; something we did this life or past life, which has caused the sickness.
Once we accept responsibility, once we realize that we are responsible for what we say and do; then, and only then, can we be healed.
Now here are some powerful healing tools:
One: Remorse for our prior misdeeds ignites the most awesome forces of healing. Kind of hard to believe, isn't it? Remorse is intimately connected to the idea of responsibility and it's a prerequisite for activating the tools mentioned. Without this, the tools do not work. Repentance in our soul for the indignities we've shown to others. A broken heart for the disrespect and incivility we've inflicted upon friends and family; deep remorse and acknowledgement of our discourteous and abusive behavior.
Two: Forgiveness; forgive those other people, you do not have to give back trust, you can remember, but forgive them. Forgive yourself, remember the lesson but forgive yourself. Holding on to anger and hatred is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies, so let go of the anger and hatred; forgive.
Three: Be tolerant of people and their beliefs. You do not have to accept their beliefs and they do not have to accept yours, but we all have beliefs, so allow each other to believe the way they choose.
Four: Respect; for other people and what they are worth. Every human has the ability to become something great, if treated with respect humans bloom and become something beautiful.
Five: Kindness; towards all those around you as well as every person you meet. Do not be foolish; do not throw pearls before swine, but it takes no effort to be kind. If those with whom you interact do not want your kindness then leave them to be as they are.
These basic behaviors are tools that when used; we become the cause of our healing and the cause and creators of our own joy.
There is more to discover; but for right now, you have been given the most powerful insights and tools in the world to truly heal your body, your soul, your relationships and this entire world.
The rest is up to you.
Be Blessed
