Health and Diseases, Is There Boundary Between Them?

How thin is the line between health and disease? Today you are alive, healthy and tomorrow you are dead, sick. Sickness is taking huge part of our lives. We don’t really appreciate our health until we become ill. The battle for life in our bodies is an ongoing process. The fight for predominance of health or sickness is constant. There is no pause.  There is no rest. The body never takes rest.

Sickness and health are overlapping each other during our lives. They are blurred, mingled and there is no strict boundary between them. In the moment when you realize that you are really healthy know that you are no more, or when you fully become aware of your disease it will disappear. Know that everything you realize in full force is immediately disappearing.

It is the same with everything else. Realize, be aware, totally recognize your anger in full force and you will never be angry again. And you will achieve that without suppressing the anger.

Whenever I think I’m often coming to the following conclusion. We perceive and understand everything in polar opposites, but that is not the complete truth. Everything is a process. Everything is phenomenon. Everything is a flux, fluid and that flux has its own picks. We are accustomed to cling to the picks and we know only the picks.

We are constantly going from one opposite to the other one, like the clock pendulum. When we are in one extreme we are gathering momentum to swing to the other one, the opposite extreme. One pole is only a potential for the opposite pole and the other way around.

There is no health and there is no disease. It is only a process. These labels are false and they are making problems. They create fear and desperation. Our body is ever changing river. In every seven years you’re having literally a new body. That is the average normal interval for complete regeneration process of our cells with the exception of some (like the neurons вЂ" they will stay in the same state until we die).

Old cells are dying and new ones are created. Some of our cells are regenerating really fast and some of them very slow. For example liver cells have the ability to regenerate extremely fast. The fact is that seven years from now you will have a brand new body.

The problem is that the new cells will inherit the genetic code and they will behave in the same way as the old ones. You are always the same but still changing. That is the paradox of YOU and the paradox of the entire universe. Everything looks like it is the same but the truth is that everything is a flux, an ongoing process in every single moment.

Finally to repeat, there is no health and disease as separate states. They are only poles, picks of one phenomenon, one process, and one flux. The birth is the source of the river, the life is the river, and the death is the river meeting with the sea.
