There
are seven components to being and becoming healthy:
- being
in contact with nature
- exercise
- sexual
activity
- happy
marriage
- leading
an active life
- diet
- doing
one's duty
If you have specific issues on which you need advice you can go to the 'Books' section of this web site, the Individual Advice section or email me (see below for my email address) directly for free input. Many of my books are available for free download, by goings to the same 'Books' section of this web site. My books and articles on these subjects are not based on Western thinking and therefore give you a valuable alternative (or I would like to think main) view on solving your difficulties.
For
almost everybody, it is the nervous system that
is under most attack in the world today. The attack
is two fold: mental stress (at school to perform,
to do homework, at work to retain your job and
earn money, in marriage to keep your partner,...)
and pollution in the element called akasha in
India (space, ether). This pollution of space
comes from the disturbance to the equilibrium
of energy in space caused by TV, radio and communication
signals permeating the whole of space. It is resulting
in a detachment of the flesh from bone in every
human and animal on the planet, as the nerve cells
are damaged (see the article "Pollution
Can Be Good For You"). The result is
that in the next ten or twenty years almost everyone
will be suffering badly from diseases like Fybromyalgia
and Myofascial Pain. Besides this, the destruction
of traditional societal structures by Christians
over the last 1500 years or so, and the onslaught
of materialism that has followed means that as
pollution takes grip of Mother Earth, many natural
calamities will happen, good food, water, shelter,
medical treatment, etc will be scarce and crime
will be commonplace.
Diseases are of two types, viral and nonviral. Both are incurable: you will be under the influence of the disease until your body is immune and other systems overcome it or you will die. Disease can be suppressed by antibiotics, and in some cases killed, but this leads to enormous harm to your physical and mental energy systems. Antibiotics will not be used in the future.
Viral diseases are environmental. You catch a virus because of something you eat, drink or breathe. They are not transferred by touch.
Nonviral diseases results from unethical behavior. These are, for example, heart disease, AIDS, cancer and so forth.
The current calamity that is hitting the world is "Avian Influenza". There are 14 main infectious diseases. All of these are uncurable: there is nothing one can do to stop their operation, once caught.
Here is what one expert, Jonathan Campbell, Health Consultant of the
Natural Therapies for Chronic Illness & Health Maintenance, says as at 12 October 2005:
"Various U.S. and U.N. agencies and the Council on Foreign Relations are spreading the word that the Avian Influenza, if it breaks out this fall or winter, could be as severe as the worldwide Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918, and they are predicting hundreds of millions of deaths worldwide.
This influenza, currently isolated in China, is a hemorrhagic illness. It kills half of its victims by rapidly depleting ascorbate (vitamin C) stores in the body, inducing scurvy and collapse of the arterial blood supply, causing internal hemorrhaging of the lungs and sinus cavities.
Most people today have barely enough vitamin C in their bodies (typically 60 mg per day) to prevent scurvy under normal living conditions, and are not prepared for this kind of illness. (Vitamin C deficiency is the root cause of many infant and childhood deaths worldwide, and it is the root cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - SIDS.)
The way to prepare yourself and protect your family from this influenza is not a vaccine or anti-viral drug. If vaccines and/or anti-viral drugs are offered to you, please refuse them. These actually reduce your immunity; vaccines contain many toxic components, such as aluminum and mercury, and anti-viral drugs interfere with critical body processes. Historical evidence of vaccinations has shown that they actually increase the chances of becoming severely ill."
There
are two paths towards health and coping with a
hostile environment (see the article "Slow
Walking: Essential Exercise"): love-dependency
and violence-independency. The first is represented
by yoga and the path of karma yoga: serving God
with a view to creating happiness in the world.
The second is to try and become independent through
for example martial arts (tai-chi being the least
violent). This web site considers only the path
of love not of violence, recognising that the
second path of violence and independence will
not at the end of the day work for you.
Dependency
involves the man becoming dependent on God, and
the woman becoming dependent on her husband or
guardian. Love involves also every aspect of your
life, but starting with a commitment to create
happiness in the world in a way consistent with
the wishes of God or your husband.
Crucially, your mind needs to be healthy. For
this you need to read the article " Information
Overload and What to Learn" to understand
that nowadays the mind of each person (adult and
child) is under tremendous stress and needs to
be relaxed in every activity that you undertake.Natural
living.
The
Self's ability to heal and determine what is right
for your body and mind is enormous, because your
Soul loves you and guides you every moment of
the day. Natural living, yoga practice help you
to attune to what your soul is telling you you
need to do.
Exercise.
You need exercise prior to marriage, in order
to be able to attract and satisfy your future
spouse. Exercise should be balanced: developing
an all round ability in terms of flexibility,
stamina and strength. You should not develop the
one sided abilities of a runner or a weight lifter
or a gymnast, but a bit of each. The best way
is to do a few minutes of one exercise or posture
until such time as you cannot keep your face relaxed.
Spend about 30 minutes per day. See also the article
below called "The
Best Exercise" and the article "Slow
Walking: Essential Exercise". Slow walking
is a must for everyone who wishes to be healthy
(before or after marriage); the optimal is about
one hour per day.
Sexual
activity. The sexual energy sphere is the base
for all health and happiness. Much of the disease
and unhappiness in this world comes from a perverted
understanding of sex. One's creative energy ('Kundalini')
rests at the root of one's spine and needs to
rise during one's religious journey, see the standard
yoga text 'The Hatha Yoga Pradipika'. Sexual activity
is natural in humans unlike in the rest of creation.
Non-harmful sexual activity is necessary prior
to marriage, and, for religious progress, sex
itself, as well as sexual activity, is necessary
after marriage.
Marriage.
Happy marriage and subsequently bringing up children
naturally gives you the exercise you need. After
your children have been brought up, and if you
subsequently become single, you should revert
to exercise.
Active
life. This means walking, getting up, climbing
stairs, etc, without strain. It means that you
should not sleep too long, nor sit nor stand for
too long. Your brain should be kept active, not
watching TV for too long, not doing meditation,
etc. Meditation is the seventh stage of yoga practice
and causes serious harm to you unless the meditation
is on God or one of the Gods or Goddesesses.
Diet.
When, through
contact with nature and a happy married life,
one develops happiness and hence perfect mental
health, you should eat what your Soul tells you,
and there are no restrictions on what vegetarian
food you should eat. The amount and timing of
food intake should be very variable, just as in
the wild. In this way, the body's digestive system
strengthens as it accomodates to different stresses
and strains. However, with pollution everywhere, man's immune systems are being destroyed. Your best strategy is to stop eating food, this being polluted, and switch to a milk based diet.
Duty.
Not doing one's duty leads inevitably to an imbalance
between what one's soul is telling you to do (conscience)
and what you, the Self, is doing. This is the
source of most health problems. The result of
not doing one's duty is that one's sleep is disturbed
(by God), and this in turn leads to these health
problems.
A
few comments on natural approaches to healing
are also appropriate. Note that these are not
alternative approaches since in all societies,
it is the natural healing that is mainstream and
should take priority over artificial poorly tested
techniques.
The
need for natural approaches to dealing with pain
and illness is that Western healing methods are
harmful and have side effects (many more side
effects than disclosed by the pharmaceutical companies,
since they have no incentive to test for harm
other than as required by law). As another example,
a psychotherapist will typically be a stranger
not necessarily representing or knowing your best
interests but will use up many hours of your time
(there is sometimes a financial incentive for
him or her to do this) intruding into your private
life.
The first
principle of yoga practice
is non-injury. The standard in the Indian system
of medicine, ayurveda,
is that its medicines as prescribed should have
no harmful side effects whatsoever.
The
following is a list of relevant articles that
you can link to on this site:
You should not use Western treatment to prolong
your life. When your time is up, there is no point
in trying to live for one year longer say, and
you particularly need to die naturally. God gives
you an optimum time of death and an optimum condition
of death according to your accumulated merit or
demerit and with mercy. It is most important to
a spiritual/religious practitioner if possible
to minimize medication at the time of and just
preceding death. According to Indian science,
you are what you eat and your mind is turned out
from the subtle life force that you consume by
eating. Taking Western medicine pollutes the mind
as well as the body. At the time of death your
mind needs if possible to be in an undrugged state,
absorbed in God. Clearly there will be occassions
when pain is preventing you from your focus on
God and it may be that you then decide to use
modern pain killers.
It
should be said that your body belongs to you and
to God. You should listen to advice from whomever
you believe to be reliable but the responsibility
for taking care of it, and treating it, lies with
you, not with me, not with this web site, nor
with your doctor.
Contact
with God is beneficial for health.
