Don't get into illness trap.




How do they catch monkeys in Indonesia.

In Indonesia they keep some mixed nuts in the monkey trap. The monkey trap is designed with a small holes to see what is inside with a slightly big hole just enough for the monkey to put its hand. Monkey will put his hand, and hold the nuts and try to grab it.  With folded fists it cannot pull out the hand.  The predator is watching outside while the monkey is trying out to pull its hand folded with nuts. He will lay the net and trap it and kill.

We human beings are like the monkey. Like the monkey holding the nuts and getting trapped we hold on to negative attitudes, beliefs and  emotions like hatred, anger, worries, fear, superstitions etc. and falls into illness trap.  When we keep the negative emotions the mind gets agitated, we become stressed. The body drains energy, creates toxic chemicals,  and we lose the immunity.

 How we are caught into illness trap.

Like the monkey, we  hold on to the following negative beliefs,  attitudes and emotions and finally trapped in to the illness cage.

1.  We keep on to the belief that we are right, and others are all wrong. This will create hatred. Hatred create stress hormones and turns into a slow killer.

2.  We keep to our egos that I am superior and others are inferior. Research has shown the people who use the word “I” more frequently are more susceptible to frequent illness.

3.  We jump to false conclusions without knowing the full stories. This will break the relations, and lead to mistrust.

We hold on to these and get trapped in stress- the slow killer. Stress creates toxic chemicals and we become prey to diseases like blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, cancer etc.

We are designed by God to love each other like a child loves another child. A child shows love and happiness always. We are also created to care, share, and lead others rather than showing ego. We are born to love not to hate. We are planned by God neither to show ego nor  to spread superstitions but to live in harmony with world and to share wisdom. We are designed by God not to boss but to lead. We are designed not to blame but to forgive.

Einstein once said
Significant problems cannot be solved if we think in the same level of thinking when the problems aroused."

We have to change our thinking, change our actions, and change our life for a better tomorrow. Leave the negative  attitudes and emotions aside. Then health and happiness is waiting to embrace us. We are the masters of our destiny. God will empower us to the  destination.
