Health is mine. I am responsible for it. Not the doctors are responsible. They can help, however, health is primary my responsibility. I cannot transfer it to someone else. My life depends on my health. This is all I possess. and I am taking care of it. How can people live so carelessly without thinking of health? As long as they are healthy, this seems to be self-understanding. When health is impaired, people rush to the doctor. They do not know anything, they were not interested in their health earlier, and now in the doctor they see God , who will save them from sudden trouble, illness. Perhaps the doctor will be able to help them, perhaps not. Maybe he will prescribe the best way to healing, maybe not. However, if we do not know anything about ourselves and our health, we have to blindly yield ourselves to him . Although our health, our life is at stake, all at once we have no control. We can only hope that the person to whom we entrusted our health, our life, knows what he is doing.
Do we have any choice at all? When we are that far, this does not seem to be possible, however, we have a choice earlier. Why does one fall ill? You will say that nobody wants this. I will answer those who have earlier not cared about their health. Many illnesses can be prevented if we live a healthy life., if we eat healthy food, if we sufficiently practice exercise, if we are walking in nature and in fresh air, if we evade stress, if we do not think that our career and material goods are the most important in our lives. In a certain moment everyboy feels that he has found himself on the brink, that it will end badly if he proceeded. Neverhteless, a lot will proceed against themselves and against their feelings, for ambition, money, and fame. We do not listen to our internal voice, which warns us that it is not worth it, that we have to stop. That it was better if we take a breath and remember that in life other things are important as well, that the quality thereof is important, not only the constant race for some or other success. Let us take time for ourselves. Let us calm down. Inner peace is important. If we are overburdened, we lose it, and we live no longer in an equilibrium. Any further step will make the state worse. We are losing our head racing for something which is not important perhaps. The sense of our action is already lost, however, we do not know how to stop. If we are in a feverish state, in stress, illness is near. All at once we are confronted with it, utterly unprepared, powerless, feverishly seeking a person who could help us.
Should the illness break out, what then? If we are lucky, we can overcome the illness with the aid of the doctor. We will again find ourselves in the arena of life. And now we are on the point when we can state that the illness was God's blessing, that we sobered up, that we will no longer without thought race for unimportant things, that we will change our life. We will start to live more peacefully having in mind that eternity is not granted to us in our life. It can be over any minute. What would then be the meaning of our career, our wealth and fame? Really nothing. Every minute of our life, which we are conscious of, is more important. We now know that a future can follow, or cannot follow. Consequently, not to live today because of too high aims in the future, has no greater sense. So, away with neurosis, anger, fear or envy. We are burdened with this, we cannot breathe because of this. Let us be natural, let us be positive. Amiable human relations will have a beneficient influence on your health and the health of other people. Listen to you inner voice. This is the most important. If you have learned to listen to it, it will be much easier for you. It will help you to pass all decisions. If you listen to it, you will not fall ill any longer. You will choose the right food, you will do things which are good for you. Let your inner voice not be disturbed by different other doctrines and concepts prevailing today. Let it not be drowned by some medical knowalls, who declare to heal people miraculously. Your inner voice will lead you to healing, you have only to listen to it. Trust it as this voice is your inner essence. It knows everything about you, it knows what is best for you. Nobody else can know this. If you do not hear you inner voice, you have lost contact with yourself. You are then really lost and will helplessly ask people around you what to do. They will not know it. They will not know it for sure, they will only guess.
Do not dispair if you do not hear your inner voice today. Calm down, walk into nature, remove the disturbances which are louder than you, the inner voice will return. You could also name it intuition or subconscience, or whatever. If you again hear it, you found contact with yourself, with your essence. You are not alienated any longer, you no longer live a void, accustomed life. You found your equilibrium, a sense. And this is the most important which you were able to attain in life.
