Many human diseases, in
particular, autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis, come from
stress. To overcome stress, human wisdom is needed. We need human wisdom to ask
the right questions, and spiritual wisdom to seek self-enlightening answers to
the questions asked throughout our life journey.
Human wisdom comes from
the mind: an empty mindset with reverse thinking; mindfulness living in the
present with no expectation and no picking; and spontaneity with understanding
of the natural cycle of all things, that is, what goes up must also come down.
The ancient Tao wisdom from China
With human wisdom, we
may see the wisdom of letting go of all attachments in the material world.
Attachments are the raw materials with which we often create the self-delusive
realities of the ego-self. Letting go of the ego and all its attachments may
let us see the true nature of everything: who we really are,
not who we wish we were, and what we really need, not what we
desire.
The ego is the human
flaw that not only undermines the natural human wisdom but also distorts the
lens through which we see the world around us. Therefore, we need spiritual
wisdom to complement the inadequate human wisdom, to guide the soul on our life
journey. Spiritual wisdom can only be attained through trust and obedience to
the Creator, which is letting go to let God.
Mindfulness is the
result of letting go of all attachments -- our attachments to the ego-self, to
the material world, to our past and our expectation of the future. Consciously
and subconsciously, these attachments become our "realities" and
stress us, causing diseases.
