To be
diagnosed with an autoimmune disease is a devastating experience for many,
especially when the doctor says that there is little or no known cure, except
managing the disease symptoms with medications and other undesirable
procedures. Self-efficacy, which is self-belief, is critically important in
healing and coping with a disease or disorder. You have to believe
that humans have a built-in mechanism not only to fight against diseases and
disorders but also to get healed from them. As a matter of fact, for thousands
of years, physicians and sages all over the world have acquired and assimilated
this profound wisdom in healing.
Wisdom is the ability to interpret information in order to
influence one's choices in actions that will ultimately transform the body and
the mind. Wisdom in healing is therefore the use of right choices for right
actions to facilitate the natural self-healing process innate in humans.
To have that wisdom, you must, first and foremost, have an empty
mind.
"An empty mind with no craving and no
expectation helps us let go.
Being in the world and not of the world, we
attain heavenly grace.
With heavenly grace, we become pure and
selfless.
And everything settles into its own perfect
place."
(Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Chapter
3)
The above is taken from the translation of
the famous ancient Chinese classic Tao
Te Ching.
According to Lao
Tzu, the ancient sage from China, who was the author of the
immortal classic Tao Te Ching on human wisdom, we must have an empty
mind before we
can attain true human wisdom. An empty mind means we let go of any
pre-conceived concepts and ideas before we can receive new ones. The human mind
is often "conditioned" or "programmed" into a certain way
of thinking because of the regular input into the subconscious mind, which
controls the conscious mind.
It is not easy to have an empty mind because of the presence of
the ego-self, which is made up of many attachments that may self-delusively
identify who you are. So, to have an empty mind begins with letting go of all
attachments, which include emotional and material attachments that are the raw
materials with which you have created your ego-self.
How do you let go in the first place?
Letting go is an involuntary surrender; the opposite of
conscious holding on. Letting go is a simple and natural process of the human
mind. It provides you with real freedom--it is the absence of that
feeling you may have of being trapped; it is having no strong feeling about
something, whether it happens or does not happen to you.
Over the long haul, letting go may lead to an empty mind. With
an empty mindset, you may have reverse thinking, which is not only thinking
out of the box but also creating your own box of thinking.
With an empty mind, you may look at your autoimmune disease with
totally different perspectives regarding prognosis and treatment. Use your
empty mind to heal—just as I used my empty mind to heal my myasthenia gravis.
