Pathway Towards a Cure

         Many people working towards the cure become intimidated by the mental pain that suffering causes.  Many times mental pain as our first step towards healing.  If you experience any physical pain, this should help in understanding the great power of the relationship between your mind and your body. Mental suffering and pain in our minds is simply a starting point in the journey towards healing.

          Any elements of disease must first penetrate the senses before heading in the direction of the body and spirit.  This concept should be a motivating factor in working to increase the health of your mind.  If the mind and vision are healthy, they will be able to absorb various elements upon entry and decipher if the energy coming in is ease or disease.  The sharper we become, the less effort it will take to feel in touch with our spirit, who wants to guide us to a healthy mind and body.

So when random pain and suffering seems to just happen to our bodies, you must be aware and not intimidated by the fact that the mind is often the pathway to this physical suffering.  But you possess the power to decide what can travel along this path.  If you do suffer from mental suffering of some kind, then see this as a blessing because the pain has only traveled down a path but not reached its destination.  Once it reaches its destination, it can make itself at home for who knows how long. We should not fear mental suffering but embrace and help suffering find an exit route or use it to build new pathways so that it will never want to travel on the same road again.

          Happiness is a choice, and the key is to not get attached to what lies behind this choice.  For example, one might say, “If I only had a million dollars, then I would be happy.” Sure, money is a choice in a direction toward our happiness because it can help us move forward and not be too stagnant in our choices.  But, there are a million and more ways to reach a feeling of happiness.  The only thing that you should keep in sight is just the feeling of happiness.  Our flexibilities, intellects, and reason can provide us with a free-flowing energy that allows us to see the right choices more clearly. With this energy, what is right for us will present itself versus fighting internally or with others to find answers. We have the power to have a louder internal dialogue if supported by a healthy level of confidence. Insecurity may linger around at times, but with strong mental health, we can obtain the power to alter our choices toward happiness.
