On Medicine, Science, Faith, and Mindset - Part 3
Can we learn from the Eastern and New Age Philosophies, and if so, is that knowledge worth the risk?
As I said above, we need to breakdown the mindset that our understanding of something is the full picture - the thing itself, and this applies to the human body, energy healing, and opinions by ‘experts.’
In my opinion, ‘experts’ receive far too much credit. Again, we are still at the stage that we know things only through their effects, not in themselves. We cannot see energy in the body, but we feel the effects, both when we are drained, and when full energy is restored. I have felt this both before and after energy healing techniques, such as taking vitamins, lying on a mat that gives off certain wave lengths, and writing out 10 gratitudes in the morning. And I have felt the negative effects, such as sitting beside a phone with bluetooth on, pushing my physical boundaries, and taking an epsom salt bath (which is healing, but drains me first).
Science is looking to catch up with this viewpoint, and has made progress there, but it is still a highly debatable topic. Most of the modern world would like to view the body as a manipulatable machine, rather than a growing organism that needs to be coaxed with gentle hands.
But since this is an unknown arena, scientifically speaking, shouldn’t we just wait until science has entirely caught up, before exposing ourselves to such a seemingly dangerous idea?
But I ask, what is dangerous about it? As I said, no one can manipulate the soul directly, not even Satan. If spirits are being called upon in the activity, then CLEAR OUT. There’s no reason to be there.
But if that is not the case, as it is not for many chiropractors, counselors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and homeopathy doctors, then what is the harm in letting people pursue it? It may not be how God has laid out the world, and we are interacting with it as if up is down, but we will probably figure that out pretty quickly. And if we are inverting gravity, what then? Behaving as though our feet are being pulled to earth will still be helpful, even if we ever discover that gravity comes from our heads being pushed to the ground, just as behaving as though the earth is flat really helps most people plot out a map from Chicago to Geneva.
Conclusion
Again, I realize this is incredibly long. I didn’t realize I had so much to say on the topic until I began to address it. This has been very helpful for me to organize my thoughts, so thank you for your patience! I hope you at least found it interesting, and worthy of sparking many more conversations.
God bless you, my beautiful dear!
