What is the cause of disease? What is the connection to personal conditions built up in ones life?

The cause of disease is that during evolution of humankind the individuals have developed their 'personality' in a way that the 'Ego' has blown up itself to such an extent that it has lost the connection to the 'whole'. The illusion of Ego exists by being identified with mental concepts supported by emotions. 'Ego' is a self-image that is built during lifetime through experiences and during this process provoked reactions, confirming and strengthening ones self-image. All gathered concepts are forming ones worldview, how things are or should be. And exactly here it starts to be conflictive, because all concepts are images and these try to fit to reality but often enough doesn’t. So then what happens? When the individual goes through life, what means encountering daily happenings and conditions, then ones concepts doesn’t fit to what is encountered. As the individual is identified with ones concept, so needs to defend oneself and reject the reality. There are many ways like ignoring the facts or trying to manipulate the circumstances. If this is not possible, then only the possibility is left to manipulate oneself by hiding or giving the fault to the outside conditions. That’s what mostly is done. All this is causing stress; because there is no direct relating to the situation and any response is filtered and conditioned through ones own condition and that is ones self-image.

So the problem is that the established system called ‘personality’ defense itself and doesn’t want to change anything about itself. To keep up its established structure against what shows up, this needs a lot of energy and so is causing stress.

That means tension is building up and accumulates, effecting the whole system, with the result that the system gets out of balance, what shows when there are emotional swings, in extreme cases going into depressions, fear attacks or outburst of anger. The accumulated tension manifests on the physical level and the function of organs are affected and the immune system is suppressed, until disease appears. Disease shows up on all levels, mentally, emotionally or physically. We know that all levels are connected even though the disease might affect only one aspect strongly.

These facts are so obvious that it is astonishing that the health professionals don't see or don't understand these! Why doctors only treat the symptoms where these show up, but never even ask for the cause? And for sure they are not looking at the root cause and that is the distorted personality caught in limited conditions of human nature.

And for sure they are not looking at the root cause and that is the distorted personality caught in limited conditions of human nature. As we all more or less are stuck in our limited human condition and that is being identified with our knowledge, that gives us security and the feeling of existence, forming the illusion of Ego, so it would be against oneself if one goes beyond the already established condition with sophisticated knowledge.

How to get out of this vicious cycle? Who is interested in this? I must tell you that this is dangerous because dismantling ones personality might give you unwanted discoveries...

OK, let’s say you want to know what you can do not to produce stress in your life. Well, we know by now that it is not the right thing to do to give the fault to the outside and circumstances. Indeed it is nobodies fault not even our own, because it is just the consequence to have a ‘personality’. We can’t just drop our personality to get rid of the problem, because we ARE the personality or the Ego. Making a split and saying we have a ‘higher self’ doesn’t help and also what is offered by religions that we need to trust in a higher power, etc. doesn’t help to reduce our stress because we know that we need to take self-responsibility and so we need to deal with daily reality. Knowing that the established system ‘personality’ is not capable to dilute itself, because it will always find ways and tricks to survive, so we better don’t even try.

There is a way and I have practiced it for many years, it is an easy exercise one can do every day for about twenty minutes, I call it ‘StressReleaseExercise’. Do it regularly for some time and better not expecting any result and you will see that it works: Stress will be released and you will find a new way to deal with daily reality. You can start right now with the advice given at the link below. Just do it, we don’t need to talk more, but you can ask me if there is something not clear.

Of path I'm interested to heal myself and I'm mindful that within the first position it have to come from myself. The predominant situation possibly, that we're all such a lot in dependency of the situated method that says to have the answer. The wellbeing method has virtually untouched authority and so we rely absolutely on it. But is there truly therapy provided? Obviously no longer, as simplest signs are dealt with! It turns out to me that there's a style of 'taboo' approximately any factor that's side of the situated method, adding ourselves. Maybe we have to triumph over this taboo and ask primary questions! This could no longer be the answer, however someplace past our boundaries there's a resolution! I'm inclined to move for it! Rahmona Edit: I went to the Stress Release Exercise Web web page and in a while after I learn the recommendation the best way to do it I set down and did it. It gave the impression to be handy and the time handed beautiful quick. After that I felt well and comfy and I felt that this would be the correct factor to do. I will do it two times an afternoon how it's endorsed and I will persist with it. I had attempted as soon as to meditate, however I did not just like the devout setup. I like certainly approximately the Stress Release Exercise, that it isn't attached with any devout, non secular or different ideas. So I am satisfied and can do it! Thank you Bei Yin and due to all! Rahmona Edit: I did the Stress Release Exercise now for 3 days and I think very cozy with it. There are a number of extra questions approximately it however I will ask approximately it later in a separated query. I can experience already the significance of this endeavor and that certainly it releases strain and so is helping to preclude sickness.

Of course I'm interested to heal myself and I'm aware that in the first place it must come from myself. The main problem might be, that we are all so much in dependency of the established system that claims to have the solution. The health system has nearly untouched authority and so we depend totally on it. But is there real healing offered? Obviously not, as only symptoms are treated!

It seems to me that there is a kind of 'taboo' about any thing that is part of the established system, including ourselves. Maybe we need to overcome this taboo and ask critical questions! This might not be the solution, but somewhere beyond our limitations there is a solution! I'm willing to go for it!

Rahmona

Yes, I'm highly interested in this question, although I don't see clearly a solution. I do the best I can to help outside conditions to change for a better, but you are right, that's not the solution. I am working on myself, being critical about what is offered from this society, but this is not the solution. I am trying to relate and respond to daily reality out of my responsibility and I sense that there might come a solution out of it, but still I'm kind of floating around...

I can say: I'm engaged and so I'm highly interested in this question!

The cause of disease in my observation is anger ,fear,and hatred.If we can let go of these negative energies we are disease free. I befriend a lady that has breast cancer,she is consumed of anger. So I let go of my anger on any one who oppresses me,because I am vain of my breast. I find out that the greatest medicine is our mind to heal our self. When I was in a car accident,I don't want to take pain killer,my belief is it will impaired my mind so I kept saying over and over "my mind is stronger than my pain more than a 100 times until the pain subsided.

We all should know that mental stress puts a lot of strain on all systems of the body, especially the immune system. Stress causes the immune response to slow down, resulting in disease. The best example of this is in aquarium fishes - you can kill some of them if you simply do not provide them with adequate shelter - WHY? because they will be scared all the time! There are other systems that are affected also, including the vascular system (High blood pressure) and the digestive system (Ulcers).

What do you do about this nasty cycle? Stress is a result of maladaptive executive functioning. In other words, it is bad planning/management of life that leads to stress. Believe it or not, it is best to simply listen to the common wisdom "take it one step at a time" or "take it easy"! Now, of course this does not apply to extreme emotional situations (for example, you find yourself being chased by a brown bear in the middle of nowhere - that can be pretty stressful!). But for the everyday stresses of work, family, relationships, etc., people have to take it slowly. Think of the king of the jungle - the lion. Do you think she is thinking about the prey she is going to hunt down 2 weeks from now? Of course not - although it is necessary for her survival. She doesn't have to. All she has to think about it satisfying her hunger right now. Once it is satisfied, the stress is removed. This same thing goes for humans. Many of us have so much on our plates at one time that it is nearly impossible to think about one thing at a time. What's for dinner tonight? Will I perform well at work for next Thursday's meeting? Will I do well on that exam? On and on and on. Deal with one thing at a time, feel the stress go away, then move on to the next thing. To prevent stress, you have to compartmentalize what is going on in your life - divide it up! The alleviation of stress is a great feeling, but you can't do it all at once.
