Understanding Illness

If one believes that humans appeared fully formed on the earth (in accordance with the biblical myth) and not as a result of the slow process of evolution, it is much more difficult to understand the meaning of illness.

How are we to grasp the meaning of a kidney cancer (a carcinoma of the collecting channels) when we are ignorant of the fact that an ancestor of humans lived under water several million years ago? This ancestor was the fish, and from it we have inherited the ability to block fluid loss. When a fish finds itself stranded on a bank or a beach too far away to be pulled back into the water by a wave, its main interest is to prevent dehydration. In this case, the carcinoma prevents the loss of fluid.

Anyone experiencing a situation of being out of his or her element is like a fish out of water in a hostile surrounding where they must adapt to a new environment over and over again. Kideny cancer may develop in those who had everything and then lost it, and are currently penniless and having to start anew.

How are we to realize the meaning of prostate cancer without understanding that the prostate appeared in the first mammals in conjuction with internal fertilization? With this type of fertilization, the spermatozoa must be protected during their journey inside female's body to optimize the chance of an egg being fertilized. This is precisely why the prostate and the prostatic fluid evolved, to protect the spermatozoa during their migration to the fallopian tubes.

The biological conflict that involves the prostate is called a semi-sexual abnormallity. Connected to procreation, there may be an acidic relationship between a man and a woman; an uncommon sexuality; children who are not having grandchildren; or a problem associated with the traditional male role. The man who watches old age approaching with fear and wishes to show proof of his performance (he feels he needs to boost himself) in order to guarantee his male role, can, when triggered by an emotional shock, set off a prostate disease.

On the behavioral side, a man who has manufactured a hypertrophied prostate often demands to be a leader and wishes to have followers; this is the kind of person who has trouble getting his creativity to blossom. He would like to be considered a great sage and protector and to be recognized for what he knows.

As you can see biology plays the biggest and only part in the disease proccess. I will explain this process later in a broader manner. Every disease has its certain meaning and biological conflict standing behind it. Most of diseases are fear based. Be aware of that next time you experience anything.
