Below are excerpts from previous
published articles:
"There
is no benefit to illness. If there is a benefit, it is a sickness. So even in the Christian Bible, there is no benefit to
being sick. It just represents an imbalance."
"There
is nothing to be gained by being sick or ill in life. Life is about living. It is not about being sick or being ill.
It makes sense that in your life you would be well... that you would be... real simply "joyful". Life is a
gift. The problem becomes that if illness or sickness or anything like that occurs that we no longer have the resources
individually - even though we do a very good job at being healthy - sometimes we need help."
"Observe
your life, have actions that produce joyfulness in life, and be able to observe yourself being good. There is no sadness in
your experiences if you can learn to be yourself and contribute to your own well-being on a daily basis. As far as you
have gone away from yourself, the path of return is shorter, it is the path of knowing yourself, and can occur in
an instant."
