Why do we get diseases? Obviously if we don’t eat, exercise and rest to keep a healthy balance our bodies will give us a disease. Give the body a steady stream of too much sugar and you’ve got diabetes. Give the body tons of salty food and you’ve got yourself a stroke. Eat more than the body needs and obesity becomes your new look. Constantly treat yourself to processed and fried foods and you’ll maintain high cholesterol which could potentially lead to heart disease. Some diseases are genetic and we get them simply because our parents had it. We get some diseases because our environment is riddled with unhealthy things, we have no awareness of, or we don’t have access to the healthier foods. I often wonder if a person took care of themselves all their life and had no family history of any major diseases (it’s possible) – eats plant-based foods and little meat, runs several miles a day, is spiritually in tune — is in excellent health why do they still get Alzheimer’s disease later in life, or cancer or ALS? I even wonder why do babies get cancer and why do people who change the world die so soon? Do we choose these experiences before we come into this life? Do the choices we make against what our soul/spirit wants create these diseases? Or maybe we believe life is over when stricken with a disease and our shattered belief is what creates disease. Some of us believe it’s karma from another lifetime. I don’t believe this way of thinking. What we experience in this life time is what we experience in this life time. Do we sweep all the hard questions under the rug because it’s too hard to answer or maybe there is no right answer or maybe all answers are correct?
Let’s think about it for one minute or ten. If we did choose to come into this life knowing we would get cancer, drown in a lake, die in a car crash, die as a child, get an incurable disease or born into an abusive family why in the hell would we choose pain, disease, abuse and fear. Some people just say it just is… but this is just an excuse because they have no answer and refuse to deal with this part of their experience. For so many of us this is hard to wrap our heads around.
The way I see it. Before we choose to come into this life, we are pure consciousness energy. This means parts of our energy is not focused into a body or a physical form. We are simply awareness energy. In a physical body we see the world through our senses of hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, smelling and feeling. Being bound or attached to the senses gives us a range of experiences we wouldn’t have as conscious energy because that energy is everything/All. Consciousness energy is just that pure energy/love. When we are pure consciousness energy, we are pure love and not attached to physical experiences. Consciousness energy is only love and energy is ALL. So, if a part of our consciousness energy decides it wants to come into the human experience to live and create it will gladly do so because it is able to create. And it knows if it wants to create it must forget parts of who it is in order to have a focused physical experience.
Let me tell you a story.
Once a upon a time there was spirit/consciousness/energy/love. For giggles let’s name the energy Bridget. Bridget was only love and did not have a body. She was sort of like an invisible angel. She was also all powerful, all knowing — pure energy. She could not be seen, only felt by humans. She knew everything and could do anything but knowing everything can get kind of boring. She wanted a physical body. A physical body would allow her to feel what it’s like hear see, touch, taste and smell and have specific focused human experiences and she could control how she feels. She knew not knowing somethings would be interesting and a part of this experience she wanted. One day Bridget transitioned her energy into a body. Once she became a human body, she was no longer all-knowing, and her memory was different, but she was still very powerful energy and could create. She loved being a baby at first because everyone who held her as a baby loved her. Then she got older and began to walk and get into everything as a toddler. The plugs in the wall looked like so much fun to stick her sticky wet fingers in. So, she walked over to touch it and right away those loving people who love her so much said No. They were protecting her from getting hurt but she didn’t understand this fear and began to cry because all she knew was love and had to deal with all the human emotions she didn’t have before. Over time she was continuously told no. She couldn’t do this or do that and was also told her imagination was not real because it could not be seen or felt or proven with math or science. She was told she had to do what everyone else was doing to fit in. She was constantly told what to do and over time learned the rules, laws, and culture. She began to forget how powerful she was and lost the will to create even though something deep within her was telling her there was something more. As she grew into a teenager then into an adult all these things, she learned about surviving in the human experience echoed in her mind. She began to worry, but wasn’t sure why. The worry turned into headaches and backpains. Then finally it led to stomach ulcers, lower back aches, headaches…
Part II on another day.
