My thoughts on the human body

Hi!

So today I'd like to talk about my thoughts on the human body. This entry may be short because I only have a few things to say. Well, let's hop into it!

Well, I've become more and more interested in the human body. I've become interested in the way that our bodies function without even having to control this. I believe I mentioned this before. Anyway, I guess it's coming to the light more and more that our mental attitude towards things kind of makes up a huge chunk of our health. Such as having a good attitude in life leads to a longer and healthier life.

Now, I've come to understand that there are things we'll experience in life which will cause us sadness or grief or whatever, and that's fine. I think if a person were to feel an emotion, feel it, accept it, and move on. This is what I think. Mainly because wallowing in a negative emotion is not very healthy. It takes a toll our bodies in the long run. It can cause all kinds of issues.

Mainly I believe this is due to the chakras in the body. I've never seen these energy centers, I'm certain a person can, but I haven't. However, I do believe they exist. If you look at a chart of the seven chakras it may even have a list mentioning what physical ailments can come about due to certain one's being unbalanced.

Hm...Oh! Such as the lump in the throat. In the past I read that's a sign of a blockage of the the throat chakra. Butterflies in the stomach is the...I believe it's the second charka...I don't think it's the base chakra. I came to understand that these can be balanced by doing things such as enjoying nature, or some other things that I don't remember lol I always figured that mediation was the only way, only to find out that there are many forms of mediation. I guess sitting in quite gives quicker results.

Anyways, the conditions of our chakras can have a huge impact on our health. I think of these chakras as being spiritual organs and that they're just as important as our regular organs.

I think about how some people may neglect their liver with alcohol, by over consuming. There's nothing wrong with some, but there is an overindulgent factor. That an excess amount of anything can be a bit harmful. It's being mindful of what one's actions can cause for their whole being in the long run. Strange enough we ignore this...for some very odd reason that I...well, I can't say that I don't understand. I think it's mainly a pleasure thing a sort of comfort. Overindulging can be a way of escape, a denial of what really is, from what we want to experience.

Is this wrong? In the long run it can have an effect. I definitely won't pass judgement on another for doing what they do. However, from the outside looking in, I can definitely see it can cause harm in the long run.

I don't believe we die, so this is why I don't think it's necessarily "wrong" in the sense that it will never be overcome. However, as humans, we need to understand this in order to advance further.

This concept not only applies to one's individual health, but the health of the whole, the whole earth, others, etc. When there comes understanding on a wide scale, I believe there can be a huge improvement. One that's so huge that it will shift reality and living will become not just a thing for survival and pro-creation, but something much more.

Think of it like this. You wake up, and suddenly everyone in the world (every single person) is being considerate of each other. They decide to just allow another to believe what they wish. Even something so small like this will cause a huge change.

Now, it's kind of like an overindulgence of not just physical things, but mental as well. I do believe that everything that is happening is happening for a reason, for us to understand. However, I do not believe that everything that happens, has to happen. Mainly it's kind of like riding a bike in traffic even though there's a sidewalk on the side of the road. A person can either avoid the possible accident and get to the sidewalk, or continue riding the bike in traffic. There doesn't have to be that possibility of an "accident", however, such an accident can be a learning experience.

After reading that Conversation with God book, there was mention that God gave us freewill, and that he'll never impose his will on us. That, in doing so, it will be like him imposing his will on himself. Also because he knows we don't die, for what reason would he have to?

These things we create are, for the most part, man made. They come from years and years of human errors manifested in the form of things we don't want.

Well, here's the thing, just like with the body, there's only so much one person can do to help you. If there's going to be a major change, it comes from an individual.

What I'm talking about doesn't just apply to the physical reality, it applies to the body, it applies to the whole.

You seriously won't believe how many times I've heard "it's not the same thing"when I take a situation they believe is "sound" and place it in a different manner. They say "that's different" when it's really not. Everything is connected.

Now of course there can easily be an argument that these are just my opinion. Fine. Make your argument. That's fine with me. But I've come to understand, even if it's just for myself, that there is much more of a huger connection to say otherwise. I've decided that it's no use just keeping it to myself.

What kind of annoys me though (and I know I don't have to believe this, but I know there's some truth in it) is that it seems that whenever I come to understand something new, I always try to get people to see it this way as well. Do I think my way is better than theirs? Possibly. I guess in a way it's like this, you have a brother or sister and you've experienced something. Seeing them making a similar mistake to the one you've made you try to prevent it by telling them what you learned hoping that they won't make a similar choice, that it can be avoided. That being said, you know that even if they experienced it, they'd learn from it as well, just like you did.

However, I'm more persistent lol At the end of the day I do understand that every person will experience what they experience due to the choices they choose to make.

So if it's being depressed by choice. That's their choice. Is it a choice I think is best? Of course not. And if I could help it, I would. Yet they have freewill. I even read that excessive happiness over over optimism is not good too, that it can cause an unrealistic view of life. Wow, right? lol

There's just a balance. It's up to us to find this balance. I do think we still have some work to do to advance human mentality. It's not soooo bad, but it's pretty...well, it's pretty out chaotic, but no hope is lost here.

I know this seems vast, but think of it this way. When we come to understand our bodies, we gain an appreciation for our lives, and suddenly an appreciate for other's lives, and possibly the live's of all life. We come to understand the mind, that our minds our similar to others because we are all similar in the sense that we are all made up of the same thing. Just on different levels.

It's kind of like realizing that you're actually seeing using sight. I know it sound a bit ridiculous. But it will be like actually seeing for the first time. You will truly see things! Sometimes we think we see, when in reality, we aren't really seeing. Think about Plato and Aristotle, and how they both had different ideas of what seeing, or experiencing actually is.

I don't think either was wrong because both fit very well into what sight is. There was a connection. I just wonder why both couldn't be right.

Like, when someone says something and another would respond "oh, well, that's true, just like with what I said. We are both speaking the truth" because everything is connected. What one says may be different from another, but it ties back unto itself.

Wow, I knew this would go further than I thought lol

So I think the human body is a piece of a greater whole. Everything I mentioned is fuller view of the smaller thing I was suppose to touch on. Hm...does it come off as me speaking with authority? Maybe I shouldn't doubt what I say lol But I'd really like it if people don't take what I say as "right" or "wrong" but as a direction that can be taken. Kind of like a road map. That would work great. It's kind of like something that can be used for guidance.

If it works for you, if it helps you, roll with it. If not, let it go.

I'm calling it a night

Mon

Oh! As a side note, based from the book I'm reading it would seem that negative emotions take a toll on our cardiovascular system and our immune system. This book is based on natural medicines, so they cover a lot in the beginning of the book about maintaining a healthy outlook on life, self actualization, steps to achieving this, promoting a healthy lifestyle by not smoking. Just all kinds of things. It doesn't just stem down to one major point, but all aspects. Also included are components from research conducted. So they aren't just writing this stuff from plain air.

The book is about the size of 2 dictionaries, so it seems to cover a huge amount of information. :3 I'll read some more and give insight on the reading and some of the possible alternatives it gives to dealing with such as stress, allergies, breast cancer/cancer prevention, etc.
