Gaining my Philosophy

I wrote this to my family after reading a post about having a sick child in the hospital.

Sheesh that is hard. I thank my lucky stars that we have Kim. She is one of the biggest highlights of my life. I am so glad that she is happy and healthy. It's scary to learn about all of these diseases in school and how even just simple actions can have large consequences later in life.

Take for instance an avid runner who lives in Berkley. He loves to run and in Berkley there are hills. So he runs up the hills. This causes him to run in a constant flexed position. He is only 24 and now can't run uphill. Why? Because with every step he took running uphill, caused his bones to deform in the front and collapse. Compression fracture. Simple little things like that. You think you are doing the right thing, by eating right, exercising, etc. and then you find out that you didn't do something right and now your life changes. Blah! Not cool.

It has been interesting to learn about philosophy. We are talking about how we don't cure anything. We don't even treat any symptoms. All we do is remove the interference within the nervous system and allow your own spirit heal you. It's not even your body. A dead body has a nervous system, but it doesn't have a spirit. Our spirit uses our master organ (brain) to communicate with the rest of the body (through the nervous system directly which then connects to the endocrine system) and together it's able to correct just about any problem it faces. IT'S INCREDIBLE! But it's also relieving to know that I don't have to heal anyone. They can do it for themselves. I don't have to coach them on how to be healthy, their spirit will tell them. It's not my job to show you how to be healthy, there are other people who get paid for that. I am just there to help you connect your spirit with your body. Pretty cool stuff.

Ok, well that's what I have been learning in school. It feels good to actually put it in words. Kinda weird to also know that I am saying this type of thing.
