Health-Building Ideas
to the plow of well-being, we cannot turn back without losing all that was gained. If we discard the blueprints of our new pattern of life, then the house will not be built and we remain in our shack and shackles of a ruined temple and its derelict appearance of disease.
Life does not tolerate disease. Then why should we? If we do not struggle with our negative qualities of mind and emotions like a fish caught in a net, we never can escape those loops and bonds. Having experienced ill health and its pains, let us be determined to understand its cause and change this effect and gain control of our fort of life. Why let negative intruders rule and wreck our temple? Disease is the negation and the lack of life. And negative thinking and attitudes invite it, and attract those ions as precipitated feeling and moods of suffering. Are we the master of our house, or not? Shall doubts or negative emotions and thoughts destroy the sacredness of our shrine of life within?
We either walk with Nature's energies and work with them by depending on the glorious life within and its radiant self, or we look for substitutes on the outside and become victims to sedatives and narcotics as a bad habit and weakness of life itself, because they depress life. Life must be king in our temple of being. Escape mechanisms are not worthy of life's purpose.
The Labyrinth of Life
The way out of this Labyrinth of Life is by going deeper within and becoming acquainted with life itself, its radiant glory, its energy rays and currents, and its ever-present helpfulness in need, if we seek it and depend upon it. It is the Creator's Hand that reaches down and lifts up the energy currents of our mind and feelings, through love and concentrated devotion at the core of life within our own sanctuary of being.
When Life and Love become our interest sublime,
We do not need a personal self to shine.
