Title: The Two Poles

"One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years"
 

John 5:5

Disease and health, these are the two poles of Life, or the two different states of the human Spirit. They are defined by the pleasant or unpleasant conditions that they create in man. Health is a pleasant condition, the disease - an unpleasant one. Such conditions exist in the physical and spiritual world of man, as well as in the world of the mind. These conditions are due to reasons that stem from conflicting forces. So, when two contradicting forces work at the same time in man, one of them will prevail, and as a consequence this person will be healthy or ill. Why did God create the diseases? They were not created by God, but by the collective human, i.e. the human in their collective consciousness.

Imagine that someone is sitting on the bank of a turbulent river and is singing quietly to themselves. This someone is observing the fast flow of the river and is enjoying the foamy waters. At some point they are filled with the desire to cross the river, and dash into the water current - without even knowing their own capabilities, or whether they will be able to stand agains the waves. The water is now dragging this person down its stream and tossing them up and down. As they cannot swim, or struggle with the waves, they start praying to God and ask:

– God, why did you let this happen? Why do you allow the river to sweep me away?

– Why did you go in the river?

– I wanted to try the force of the waves.

– Since you have chosen to enter the water alone, you now need to wait until somebody from outside comes and helps you get out of the water. Once you have tried and tested the power of the river stream, you will turn into a philosopher, you will gain knowledge and experience, and you will be able to tell people what it means to be dragged down by the river.

Therefore, man alone can be the cause for their own getting into the river current, but also someone else can push them into the river. For example, if one has quarreled with another person, and has come to the river bank to calm down, the other one might choose to follow them and push them into the water. Man looks for the reason outside, but the reason is yet to be found in their own self. If you don't quarrel with people, you will not have foes, who can cause you troubles. In one way or another, man alone is the reason for their own misfortune.

There is also a third possible cause for a person to be pushed into the water – the wind or the storm. The wind represents the World of the Mind. So, the third reason why a person could fall into the river is hidden in the world of the mind. In the first case, the person alone is the cause, in the second case – the cause is this person’s foe, and in the third case – the cause is the wind. A young woman or a young man reads a philosophical book, embraces the philosophical principles of the author, and wants to apply them in life. As soon as she/ he decides to put into practice these principles, a sudden storm comes and drags this young person into the water. Man needs to be a philosopher in the broader sense of the word – to apply only those principles that are written inside, and not to imitate and follow the philosophers outside. What would you say then about the epicurean philosophy? Is their philosophy right to state that once born, a person should use all the goods of life?
