There are two kinds of diseases: the diseases of the mind, and the diseases of the body – both are in fact very similar! – just as the diseases of the body are foreign substances invading with a weak immune system not being able to fight off the invasion! – similarly, we are all born (99% of the time) with healthy souls/minds! but when fear, doubt, shame (abuse) attacks, and our internal immune system, namely, our internal self esteem –knowledge of our security, our cherishedness is not strong! it is then that the diseases wreak havoc, but just as one can strengthen the body through strengthening the immune system (mainly eating healthy foods, a trend that is intensifying, as people realize that attacking symptoms is no cure like prevention,) similarly, we can constantly strengthen our trust in God (which we do through our daily prayers, as well as continually thanking and seeing God’s goodness in our lives!) but perhaps even more importantly! we strengthen our self esteem through realizing that we are fundamentally God’s agents to do goodness and kindness, and when we ACTUALIZE this idea in reality, its then (and only then) that our self-esteem becomes strong enough to overcome infections.
