As Within, As Without
On the Interrelation of Mind and Matter
I often think of the relation between the energetics of our being and the physical symptoms of what we’re going through. It’s not a cause and effect relationship, but rather a mutually dependent one. Encouraging positive thinking will likely result in improved physical symptoms, and addressing physiological issues often improves our level of positive thinking. It’s astounding to me to witness these two things interact, and leaves me with clear assurance of the energetic nature of reality.
For example, I have found on multiple occasions that mending a physiological need through supplementation, diet, or an aligned medicinal treatment coincides with a mindset breakthrough I’ll have. It seems coincidental to perceive a lift in mood from a highly specific emotional processing or spiritual download be paired perfectly with some practice benefitting my health. When I see this, it leads me to understanding the metaphysical forces moving through reality manifest themselves in multiple vibratory planes. A passage of energy that unlocks a new level of thinking will come as both a spiritual download that helps me look at myself and life better, while at the same time coming as a healing practice in the material.
Most recently, as of yesterday, I have started a parasite cleanse. Initially I felt slow to be convinced of the effectiveness of the treatment, being taken by thoughts like “who knows if this will even work to shift my mind.” As of today, however (even though I’m on day 2 which is perhaps inappropriate to be making such an assessment) I feel the best I have in a VERY long time. The past few days have guided me towards the commitment of greatness within myself, and seeing that NOW rather than as something I might accomplish in the future. I feel a deep ambition to double down on affirmation and manifestation practices, but out of inspiration this time rather than a desire to escape what I have been. Ideas for my future are flooding in, how I can contribute to the world, opportunities that I can create.
Even though I have held a mind that has the capacity to convince me of this, that, or the other, I’m finding with my newfound sense of commitment that all of this is the divine grace of expansiveness. That I’m transcending what used to chain me down, walking the path as the man I choose to be, and creating the life I want based on resonance over escapism. And I can witness it happening in my being internally and healing externally simultaneously.
