Aware of it or not,
most people suffer from a condition best described as spiritual
dis-ease. The hyphen is not
a typo. Dis-ease far
more accurately defines conditions such as alcoholism, anxiety, or depression
than does the word disease,
which implies these conditions are purely of a physical nature.
People like to
sweep their own spiritual dis-ease under the carpet. They become workaholics,
alcoholics, sleepaholics, food, drug or shopping junkies. They collect money to
buy more things to make them happy. They go to the doctor to get pills to numb the symptoms of
their dis-ease. They’ll try anything to dull the pain. Still, they trip over
that lump under the carpet every day. Unless we lift the carpet and address the
source of the problem, it’s just a matter of time before we trip over it and
hurt ourselves.
In my own case, I
spent more than 20 years living with a broken soul that kept the light out and
sealed the darkness inside. It was a scary, lonely, hopeless place where
the joy and happiness that were supposed to reside within were replaced with fear,
silent desperation and detachment from others. It was a disconnection from
spirit, a nearly total divorce of life and love.
I was one of the
fortunate people. Alcohol and drugs ravaged my soul to the point of no return,
where I was forced to choose between life and death. Finding myself firmly
wedged between a rock and a hard place opened my mind to the possibility that a
Higher Power could help me, which led to a spiritual healing experience that
changed my life nearly twenty years ago.
You don’t, however, have
to be an alcoholic or heroin addict to benefit from a spiritual healing. Many a
housewife or successful businessman suffers from the same sense of spiritual
dis-ease, although the signs aren’t always as obvious. There’s no point in kidding
ourselves that as long as we are functional, well-behaved members of society that we aren’t
hurting anyone. Spiritual dis-ease affects everyone. It not only affects our own lives, but also the
lives of our children, co-workers, neighbors, or even strangers we pass on the
street. How many times have we driven past a broken down motorist on a busy
highway or denied our local convenience store employee the small pleasure of a
kind word or a smile? Some people would rather face a root canal than hold a door open for their fellow humans while exiting a building. We've all seen it.
In doing so, we
have unknowingly caused a ripple effect. The stranded motorist becomes stressed
and passes his tension along to those that he or she meets. If enough people deprive the
store clerk of a simple smile, the clerk eventually stops smiling, too, which
affects every customer he meets.
A spiritual healing
does the opposite. It removes the dis-ease inside and fills a person with an inner peace.
When we feel good about ourselves, we not only make our own life a better
place, but make the world a better place in general. You were born to live free
and happily, not to spend your entire life as a prisoner of disconnection, detachment and
dis-ease.
