2006.05.07 On Disease and Healing

[Diana]

This topic always confuses me because some of the most enlightened, loving people I know have suffered terribly with illness. So reading this it seems to say to me that even though enlightened and loving, if these wonderful people would just find the right balance they would no longer be ill. Would that be an accurate interpretation or am I missing something?

"The process of disease occurs when the balance that is the default setting for wellness in your particular physical vehicle and energy body becomes upset. Such balances can become upset because of purely physical and mechanical reasons. If you fall and break your bone, there may be no higher interpretation of such an event. You simply had an unlucky accident. However, if you are a seeker on the path, it is well to open up your mind and your thinking to the possibility that some imbalance in your energy body threw you off so that you were literally out of balance and so you fell."

I don't think it is simple or easy to understand, and it certainly individual.

But, regarding the people you mentioned, there could be an imbalance, for instance, because they are loving toward others but not as much toward themselves. I think this happens often with loving people. Very loving people often do not take the time to nurture themselves, as others always come first.

There might be a balance to that scenario, by showing the same love and respect to self that is shown to others.
