Health is the fullness of physical functional and structural strength, vital dynamism, mental clarity and calm of psychic range. Ill-health is the emptiness of one, two, three or all of these above characteristics. When this emptiness is to be successfully restored to the fullness of health; to be healed. What is most needed, is receptivity. Receptivity is emptiness. Ill-health is at once emptiness of health and at the same time receptivity for its restoration. Ill-health, as ailment or disease, has its name and form. The receptivity to heal it belong to a slightly different dimension. The name and form are not unimportant though, through either form or name and form, by knowing and exceeding them, healing potential is revealed.
For an objective perception and correct judgment of what the individual characteristic totality of this receptivity is. What the quintessential quality of susceptibility is, there has to be an absence of feelings of attraction and repulsion, likes and dislikes, desires or preferences in the perceiver. Whether this perceiver, is himself the endurer of things suffered or it is someone else, who sympathises and wishes to assist in improving matters. Otherwise, despite the correctness of the sense impressions, a flawless operation of nerve impulses, brain functionings, reasonings, the perception, and judgment will be influenced by notions that falsify, due to the admixture of distortions with what is genuine. The functionings of senses, nerves, brain, can all be excellent. The ability to reason, perceive and judge can all be good, even trained or experienced. But without clarity in consciousness, things cannot be seen and judged without confusion rearing its ugly head, without defects as imbalances in importance giving or blemishes as additions from oneself, due to personal reactivity sneaking in. The vital mind’s attractions and the heart’s repulsions do not bring in the necessary light, to illumine and liberate human life. The soulful attitude, however, can and will bring the required light to shine on issues, show receptivity and by fulfilling it, set human life free from its plight. By reflecting on one's desire, one becomes aware of what attraction is. Similarly, by weighing up desire, one will realise what detestation means.
The way we live directly influences our clarity of consciousness. It can either increase or decrease our ability to perceive and judge correctly. There are two ways of living, wrong living and right living. Either are ways of living by human beings, who are either enamoured with ignorance or with wisdom, with night or with light. Ignorance chooses desire and with it comes attachment that in turn picks expectation as preferred companion. Wisdom picks aspiration with dedication as its friend, and light, detachment coupled with devotion as its faithful companion. Desire wishes to possess what light shows, it does not want to know what is light. Desire endeavours to resist truth, to negate it or fracture truth; at best to hem in truth to fit it to its limited appreciation of it and in favour of its preconceived ideas of it. Aspiration does not wish to control what light brings as realisations and reveals as manifestations. It only cares for Truth, seeks to discover truth, to treasure it and grow into it, to become truth itself. Because it sees in light its purifying, illumining, liberating and rapture bringing quality.
To move from desire to aspiration, from night to light. From delusion-mind to perfection-heart. From that what is a strange life that weakens. Towards that what is a hard-earned life that strengthens, plus gives satisfaction and finally brings life of man, normality. The physical has to be given what is manageable to it, that what is clean, uncomplicated, and natural in its simplicity. The vital has to be steered away from pride, vanity, arrogance, reactivity, and excesses of assertiveness towards unpretentiousness, modesty, reserve, willingness to bend, to listen and even reticence. The mind has to be guided away from hypocrisy, disingenuousness, pretence and the mere display of attitudes and behaviours. Towards integrity, truthfulness, trustworthiness, openness, and a willingness to keep silent in the face of that what would in the name of human honesty expressed merely bring or add to disharmony, discomfort, or pain. The heart is to be moved away from darkness towards the moon’s purity as an eye to see with, the sun’s brightness to smile with, and the flower beauty to expand with. Life’s unthankfulness has to be encouraged to move towards a vibrant respect; a regard for and recognition of constant indebtedness towards the kindness and compassion, grace and self-giving received, on which so much ever depends in life.
In this way, life, as a whole, by its dedication, can distinguish the concocted from the real, sidestep desire, the idle promiser, as dream with blinding false joys, treacherous smiles and prompts. Make transparent the teachings and distortions of power-hungry life, with its angry demolition-schemes. Knock back false love and love-demanding ploys. Extinguish inexact claims, and relinquish what is false as a sense of identity and claim what is the right one, by self-giving towards Divinity as Truth within and within all. In this way, broken hearts, disrupted lives, diseases, ailments, narrow minds and suffering bodies can be healed or at least grounds for healing are created, laid bare and its specialised modalities and forces, are immeasurably helped. While health can consciously be maintained and improved and even raised towards perfection. By a conscious movement of progress in the establishment of a multi-aspected dynamic equilibrium between what is given in life and what is receivable and thus unwaveringly received.
Limitations of health are (too often), man-made imperfections of life.
Life is not meant to be limited, destroyed, or its limits displaced, in name of care.
Healing health means naturally enlarging life and bringing in more light
Life is the boat.
Hope is the boatman.
Aspiration is the power-source
Health is the goal.
