Living Through Our Mind


We live through our minds.  Events that seem to have a physical occurrence are deceptive and we soon see that they have a psychological root.  It is difficult to believe that illnesses have psychological roots for their occurrence.  The body has to follow the mind.  It replicates what the mind does.

Let just see one particular manifestation of some of these thoughts – the inability to accept joy.  Due to reasons of self pity, a negative mindset, or deep rooted pessimism, we coerce our mind to adopt one particular pattern or outcome.  We reject all possible hopeful probabilities for other positive outcomes and opt for the familiar negative one.

This low level thinking comes from our lower mind which triggers our survival instinct.  The brain now prepares for the survival by release grease in to our system.  This instant energy is rarely used by introspective brooder and so lies dormant.  The constant brooding instigates the mind towards constant release of such grease.

The mind blocks all “paths” through which some relief or joy can possibly pass.  Likewise, the body blocks all paths and uses only the familiar one.  The release of accumulation of such grease is what is what is known as hypercholesterolemia.

Once again, meditation comes to the rescue.  We must induce a certain state of consciousness wherein we “unblock” the paths of joy.
