The Book Of Illnesses

I am not going to repeat myself This is not a medical textbook The pathogenesis of these illnesses is a mystery These are the illnesses of the soul Forget the body and mind for now Just open your heart And observe the healing power of awareness This is not a classroom of science It's a revelation of the horrors within Loneliness is a far more dangerous cancer of the soul Than even the worst disease in the medical textbook It feeds on the young and the old alike Poor or rich, educated or not, healthy and unhealthy alike Loneliness engulfs the soul Distorting reality and puncturing the serenity of the spirit Loneliness is one of the most common illnesses of the soul It is a source of chronic despair, regardless of material wealth, Achievements, attachments and identities Loneliness vandalizes the spiritual connection with your true self and others Leaving you helplessly lost, inside the physical world It is the cause of restlessness, promiscuity and alcohol and drug abuse The cure and therapy is unconditional Love Selfishness is a disease of the Soul It is the contamination of the soul with mental toxins (ego, power, control) It is a far more dangerous state than we will ever know It is the source of lies, deceit and wickedness If not curtailed, selfishness will transform into pure evil Selfishness is the cause of conflicts between individuals, wars between nations And even genocide between tribes, cultures and nations Selfishness is the most destructive of all the illnesses of the soul It is disruptive and destructive to the house of humanity Selfishness is very hard to cure, one needs to let the ego die And be transformed into a selfless human being Wickedness is an off-shoot of selfishness It is the intoxication of the soul with evil It is more focused on the spirit than the physical It is rampant in families, within tribes, friendship cycles and work environments It is a dangerous foolish game of the soul It has destroyed many families, caused a lot of poverty, suffering and deaths Wickedness is rarely curable with unconditional Love Evil is not as common as we may think But it is the total transformation of the human soul Into a beast of the dark abyss of the unknown It is the absence of the sacred Light The inability to Love or be LOVED As far as I know, evil has no cure ©Kenneth Maswabi
