“… our illness is not a replication of something countless others have had before us, nor an accident of fate unrelated to ourselves but is in fact the opposite: a message from our deepest selves. And it is a message that is by and large not being heard.
Thus, beyond diagnosis, illness can be a call to rediscover our original alignment, to re-establish our essential wholeness; and chronic illness or pain is a particularly insistent caller. This realization saves a lot of energy! If, instead of encountering illness in ourselves as a call to arms in a psychic war against bits and pieces of our bodies and minds, we attempt to understand our symptoms in the light of the whole of our being, suddenly the question is no longer the primarily academic one of finding a label for a particular pattern of discomforts but rather one of a feeling investigation into our judgments and fears and the way they restrict our life energies. Instead of asking, What disease do I have? the question becomes, Why do I restrict energy in the particular way that I do? In other words, just who is it that is hurting?”
“All emotions are modifications of one primordial, undifferentiated emotion that has its origin in the loss of awareness of who you are beyond name and form.” Eckhart Tolle
