Two-hundred years ago, around the year
two-thousand, a person who lived in this area got ill. Doctors, who were very
rational and primitive in that time, discovered the person had something odd in
his body between his vital organs that was hurting him. They performed surgery
and removed it. It was a very rational thing to do; you see something bad, so
you take it out. Their method was very primitive though. In that time they
would cut you open for anything which is always very risky. They didn’t
understand by that time that it doesn’t work to “fix” a body only physically
and then send it back to its original way of living. Only later on humans became
more and more aware of the functioning of our body. But the person who lived
here two hundreds years ago did not realize that. So this person had his
surgery and went back home. For me it’s no surprise to “hear” from the tree
that the disease came back and in the end became fatal. The tree was very young
when this happened, and already got a bit damaged since this was the person who
planted the tree. But they’ve moved on.
At first
humanity grew on the borders of rationality for a while longer. At a sudden
point in history, about a hundred years ago, we realized that we had expanded
our knowledge and technology to the very limit. It was a turning point in our
way of thinking and living.
Also in technology, which was always very practical
and irrational thing for us humans. We started to connect technology with our
feelings and emotions rather than just to use it for communication and
information sharing. Even though we used it for communication we got isolated
through using technology. The physical part was missing; this made us lonely
and separated us from each other. We changed that, and used our inventions to
truly understand ourselves and each other. That way we used technology to
really connect with each other. We could become one through our devices. We
realized that all this time that we were meant to be together and that everyone
has the vital need for connection. Also the medical industry changed. From
cutting people open, “fix” them and then leave them alone to recover, we went
on to a more natural way of healing. Often there is a psychological explanation
for the disease a body is confronted with and you can only help the body to recover from it. You can’t simply fix it. The body is self preserving but
is not always able to on its own. Our ways to help the body in a natural way
are very strong and trustworthy. So our medication is not that we just do
something to our body or to deceive our inner system to do something our way. The
medication works together with our body. When the medicine or treatment enters
our body or makes contact with it, it helps the body find the right treatment
for and from itself and it works because we often underestimate ourselves while
we can cure more than we think. The medicine helps us realize this and gives us
the belief that we have the ability to heal ourselves. And so we can.
