The Healthy Existence of Self 5/9/10
The Healthy Existence is more than just the state of your physical body. It
refers to equilibrium in all your parts including the subtle bodies. Such a state of
bliss is not possible for you in your earthly life. As an healthy individual, you
contribute to the Healthy Existence of Self by living as cleanly as you can, but
that is not necessarily according to the mores of your society. Some religions
dictate dietary regimen, celibacy, belief in labels, exclusionism, etc. These are all
man-made rules. Some are based in healthy living for the time in which they
were created, but do not necessarily apply to your modern ways of life.
Fulfilling Healthy Existence requires a balance in all things, and as
humans on your earth, you must seek to find that center within yourself wherein
lies the basic knowledge of what your physical, mental, and emotional bodies
need to feel well, hearty, strong and eager. Whenever one finds a lack of energy,
strength or sense of well-being, there is to be found an imbalance somewhere.
However, your modern medical community convinces you that these
imbalances can be “fixed” with medication or surgical procedures affecting only
the physical body. Your modern psychiatric community convinces you that an
imbalance may be due to some early life experience, or a dysfunction of the
brain, but rarely is there a practitioner who truly understands what is out of
balance.
Spirit, mind and body must all work together to achieve a truly healthy
person, and few there are to be found on your planet now. Life has become
complicated beyond your ability to cope, and your technology keeps pushing you
along this road of imbalance. This is not to say that you must forego the
advantages of technology. You live in a time when communication and
knowledge of events at a distance from you are of great importance. In earlier
times, it was only the events of local society that influenced your well being. Now
events transpiring on the other side of your planet affect you. Weather patterns
are established by the thoughts of those whom you have never seen and
probably will never see. Your own thoughts affect these, as well, and it is not only
weather patterns that are affected by what and how you think.
Governments, whole societies, religious movements, political issues,
nations, are all out-picturing the thought processes of your day. If you would
change your world, change your thinking and the way you express it. Just
balancing your diet will not achieve the physical health you seek. If you do not
balance your thinking, the diet will not work. So it is with the health of your
society. More on the subject of government and other entities of power will be
discussed elsewhere. But I wanted to point out that what is said here about your
own individual state of health is not solely what is to be considered.
Now, individually, most of you are aware of the part played by nutrition,
exercise, rest, and play with regard to your state of general health. And you have
been told before how your physical body alerts you to imbalances in your
regimen whether it is mental or spiritual. Healthy Existence is not limited to the
health of your bodies, but also to the health of your environment. Since you
create your environment, it is well for you to look at what is there causing the
imbalance that is making you uncomfortable whether it is a discomfort of pain,
fatigue, depression, or negative feelings. Where there is discomfort it is for
certain there is an imbalance demanding your attention.
The Healthy Existence is created by the Intention to heal the wounds of
Involution. We will not deal here with the ins and outs of this concept. I mention
this only to make you aware there are imbalances which you can address which
were not created directly by yourselves. That does not mean you are excused
from dealing with them. So long as they are ignored, so long will you suffer the
discomforts brought by them. It is part of your responsibility to contribute to the
restructuring of balance during the evolutionary cycle. The more equilibrium you
can achieve in your short span of years on this planet earth, the greater your
contribution to the fulfilling of the overall Intention that brought humankind into
being.
One major item that causes discomfort is the difficulty you find in
interpersonal relationships. It is very easy to blame your discomfort on your
partner, associate, friend or enemy. You must look to yourself to heal yourself.
The word “healthy” contains within it the word “heal”. It is your responsibility to
heal yourself and contribute positively to the fulfillment of the Healthy Existence
of Self.
So what is the equilibrium you can achieve? Fairness of thought. How
about that? Do you entertain prejudices, preconceived ideas, learned attitudes
and behaviors that do not contribute to the equilibrium of humankind? Do you
have expectations of others that are not being fulfilled? Are these expectations
reasonable to expect from the person you want them from?
A short exercise right now as you study these words would be in order.
Write down at least three things that might be causing an imbalance in your life
and thus in your society. Are you bigoted or do you agree in the equality of all
humans? Are you disturbed by close contact with races other than your own?
How well do you deal with poverty, homelessness, lack of education, etc.? Do
you look the other way, or do you try to do something about it? Could you teach a
child who has a learning disability, or even a major physical handicap? Could you
care for an elderly person suffering from Alzheimer’s who is incontinent,
contentious, and difficult to provide for? What are your personal prejudices?
What affronts you? Politics? Government? Perhaps your own country’s system of
operation? Maybe your partner’s shortcomings disappoint you? How about the
behavior of your neighbors? These are just suggestions.
Be as honest with yourself as you can be, and then share your thoughts
with others and discuss them. See if others can offer you ways and means to
achieve equilibrium in your thinking, actions you can take to be effective in
righting what you see as being wrong, changes in your lifestyle that will bring
greater pleasure and comfort to your personal well-being.
Remember in earlier dissertations you were told of some of the
metaphysical reasons for conditions existing in the physical and mental bodies. If
you are in pain, anxious or uncomfortable in any way, discussing with others the
possible roots of such discomforts often sponsors thoughts you would not have
otherwise and an objective approach to your discomfort by an empathetic person
or group can be extremely helpful in your finding the answers. This requires a
great deal of openness, I know, and will breach the feelings of privacy some of
you entertain. Your ability to achieve equilibrium and thus true health, depends
on the degree to which you are engaged in your own success. Discussing your
discomforts in a reasonable manner is not meant to be a means through which
you can complain. That is not what this exercise is for. You are not to seek
sympathy in doing this exercise, but you are to approach it with an objectivity that
permits you to benefit from it.
Review some of the previous dissertations that pinpoint metaphysical
roots of physical and mental discomfort, such as foot problems relating to lack of
understanding, or hip problems that belie inflexibility, or sight problems that keep
you from seeing clearly a problem you wish to hide from yourself. While we do
not have the time to mention everything, this gives you some idea of how to
determine these things. Look for the meaning and purpose of the physical part
that is uncomfortable, and you will see what really sponsors the disability or
disharmony in your bodies.
Maintaining complete equilibrium as an earth dweller is not possible, but it
is your responsibility to find and repair everything you can in order to promote
harmony within yourself, your environment, and ultimately in fulfilling the
requirements of a Healthy Existence of Self.
I am sure more questions have been raised than have been answered, but
that is sometimes our intent. The more you do for yourselves, the more progress
you make. We only offer guidelines. Success is up to you. And so I leave you this
time with many blessings and much love. Go in peace.
