Almost everybody is born with the possibility of being healthy, so why do many of us become unhealthy?

The words “holism,” “healing,” and “holy” come from the word “whole.” To be healthy means to be one with the Whole—to be in touch with one’s multidimensionality and interconnectedness, experiencing One Self as part of the Whole, the infinite consciousness.

In contrast, to be unhealthy means to be disconnected from the Whole—to experience One Self as being separate.

Health is the natural result of simply being in the oneness of consciousness. Disease is unnatural, a state of uneasiness and imbalance that indicates we are separated from our essengtial being.

Whenever we find ourselves with a disease, we are doing something unnatural to create it. By “unnatural,” I mean the balance with the Whole is lost, diverting our natural flow.

What obstructs the flow of health in us? The mind, because it suppresses consciousness.

The mind succumbs readily to suggestion. For instance, we have been taught, “Don’t do that; do this. This is real; that’s unreal. Believe this; don’t believe that.” We have been conditioned to suppress, pretend, not say what we really feel, follow the rules.” Oh, and the prize advice: “What will others think?”

Our values, beliefs, thoughts, expectations, interpretations, hopes, and behaviors are spoon-fed to us by others—our parents, teachers, religious figures, politicians, health practitioners, and so on. In other words, our self-identity is borrowed from others through social conditioning. This conditioning is what forms mind.

We are all conditioned to believe in the reality of disease. But such a belief is simply fear of being who we really are, a fear that has been instilled in is by many different sources—sometimes by loving but anxious parents with the intention of protecting us, sometimes by those who profit from our detachment from our natural state of being.

Conditioning is a process of suppressing consciousness. We are all born as expressions of consciousness, without an ego. But when a child isn’t accepted fully—when its actions aren’t gently guided and it isn’t allowed to trust One Self—ego appears as a creation of the opinions of others.

Somebody loves you or hates you. Somebody accepts you or rejects you. Somebody says nice things about you or terrible things. In this way the ego becomes a mirror of relationships. The child starts looking at the reflection, instead of at its authentic One Self. Seeing itself from the outside rather than the inside, it becomes afraid to be One Self builds a persona—a false, social self, which is an unconscious state of being. In this conditioned state, we believe existence is full of suffering, conflict, pain, misery, and disease.

We all feed each consensus thoughts, which we aren’t supposed to question. Have you ever questioned the doctor’s diagnosis, “You have a cancer?” If we go against our conditioning, society makes us feel guilty. The result is that we are charged with fearful thoughts and suppressed feelings, which contribute to stress, tension, anxiety, and ultimately disease.

Just as matter is nothing but a form of energy, created by the consensus mind—the global mind—disease is nothing but a state of mind. From the state of not being at ease with the moment, which is non-acceptance, all disease originates.

Illness is different from disease. It’s part of a natural process of being, a byproduct of our body’s maintenance of its equilibrium. Always transient, illness becomes a disease when we freeze this process by focusing on it out of fear, give it a name or diagnosis, perceive it as a form or entity, identify with it and possess it (“my MS,” and so on).

The mind can be a useful instrument—a tool to designate, create, and communicate. It can be a channel to connect us with our source and who we really are. It’s there to be used, but not to use us. We are not our mind: infinite consciousness is who we are. Consciousness is natural, whereas mind is unnatural, a superficial creation, a compensation for not being conscious.

Because mind isn’t whole, it can’t accept the Whole. It can only accept parts of it—if those parts fit with its conditioned structures. Were the mind to accept the Whole, it would dissolve. But because of its superficiality, the mind can’t embrace experience wholly. It has to judge, accepting “good” parts and rejecting “bad” parts. Anything associated with pain gets rejected. Whatever we reject, we suppress. As a result, we become unconsciously oppressed and possessed by mind.

When good and bad aspects of lived, unlived, and partially lived experiences are stored in the basement of the mind, these fragments haunt us, following us wherever we go and affecting whatever we do. This they do seeking completion by asking us to go through them again, but this time with full consciousness. That is where healing begins. Our difficulty is that because we don’t want to bring past pain to our awareness, we tend to suppress it even further, which requires enormous energy, leaving us drained and stressed. However, once we unconditionally accept the “good” and “bad” by embracing this moment totally, the mind loses its power. Consciousness then automatically emerges, celebrating the easiness of our life.

Because we are all slaves to society, the state, religion, and a thousand and one other things, it takes enormous courage to free ourselves of mental structures. We need to be brave to remove all illusions and projections, all pretenses and fantasies. Only then can we discover something that’s always present in us: health, wellbeing.

Only when we are utterly free of any content of the mind can we allow our consciousness to be free and bathe our body with infinite energy to repair, harmonize, and heal. Then our being dances in bliss, and health flows.

To discover this source of infinite goodness within us, we need what I call real therapy. Real therapy is consciousness. We need to be conscious of who we truly are—not our mind, status, job, or whatever else, but the source of truth within us. We need to be conscious of consciousness.

Transformation can be painful, but only if we resist it. One has to go deep into the rabbit hole and leave all possessiveness behind, including deep-rooted habits, patterns of thought the mind believes, and personality structures. One has to challenge the whole of one’s social conditioning. It’s no easy thing to drop our conditioning when it’s all we believe we are. We need to dehypnotize ourselves, wake up, and feel our innate self-worth, self-acceptance, and self-reliance.

What’s required is inquiry. Unlike belief, the truth needs inquiry. Observe yourself within, with compassion and full acceptance of whatever you find there. Stay in the now, not allowing your mind to take you to the past, future, or somewhere outside of you. Keep watching and wondering who is the one watching, until you realize the answer.

When we connect with the now, we become aware of the whole of existence. We remember our wholeness, and the whole of existence recognizes us as itself and causes us to be more whole, balanced, and in harmony with All That Is. We become healthy again.

The ultimate goal of our individual evolution is to experience fulfillment in infinite health and enlightenment. Such health can be achieved by everyone, when all the illusions—stress, greed, hatred, ignorance, diseases, and unconsciousness—presently in our mind have been completely accepted and detached from One Self. When we remove the rock, the spring flows.

Such full awakening is characterized by clarity of perception, unlimited inner knowing, unconditional compassion, and health that flows from our source deep within, through us to ourselves as expressions of this source, and consequently out to others. When we are health, we vibrate health to others. Be aware, health is contagious!
