Health
“Health is an imposed idea on an always perfect body.”
So much time money and energy is spent on health and sickness in our modern culture. Yet in so much of this energy the fundamental truths about health and life are missed. The yearning to be healthy is completely normal and yet many of us mistakenly believe that health is something we must have to be happy.
Alas then if our health is not how we want it to be we experience unhappiness and suffering of the spirit.
True health is born of the connection to the radiant truth that never changes. When we are connected to the source of all life beyond our physical, emotional and mental health we find an unwavering foundation of vitality. Then from this inner foundation we can engage in the conscious creation of our health, without the obscuring forces of fear and attachment to a certain state of health.
Our Understanding of Health
Health, in our modern understanding is the physical organism behaving in a way that we agree is good. So if we have energy and vitality this is good, if we have tiredness or sickness this is bad. This is an almost universal belief, we express sadness at sickness and decay and joy for health and growth. But this is not the deepest truth of these conditions. To the soul each and every condition is a gift to be received and experienced. This physical body is a stunning masterpiece beyond mental understanding, and each and every experience is a divine invitation. We spend so much of our lives seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, but when we look deeply with the eyes of truth we see that this eternal questing has created nothing but suffering. In this moment, in this body, with these sensations, is where we find true life, true love.
When we can see beyond our need for our body to be a certain way or to be experiencing a certain thing we open the door to a limitless freedom of both body and spirit. Imagine if you could be in divine radiant joy even if you are tired or unwell! If you are suffering constant pain or terminal conditions then this may be extremely difficult or almost impossible, yet even more profound when you can see this truth. This invitation takes great courage and wisdom to receive, and even greater to live in your life.
Beyond the Illusion of Health
Yet when we do see beyond the illusion of health we can embrace this moment with so much more vigor and presence that the challenge is worth it! We can completely dissolve fear of old age, death, sickness, weakness and every other condition of the body by seeing that there is still full life right now, there always is with the heart and eyes of spirit. Go beyond seeking to control the body with your imposed projections, dance with it and learn to listen to its ancient mysteries. Go beyond health and pleasure, and the body becomes always perfect, a magical masterpiece of the divine Essence within.
