Today we have received many letters form you with questions concerning various life problems, which seem irresolvable and which seem to be growing bigger and bigger with every passing day. People ask: “What to do?”
As G Gourdjeff, one of the teachers of the past century, states, we are not able to do anything, because we live in a world of dreams and illusions. This is how, as we are not able to do anything in our dreams, we also are not able to do either simple or difficult things in our life.
For those who want to learn more about the teacher G. Gourdjeff, we suggest you read the following books written by P. Ouspensky, one of Gourdjeff ‘s students: These are: "In search of the miraculous” and “The fourth way”, which are the same books we also recommend to our students.
To what extent someone’s health depends on personal effort?
In your letters there are real questions like: to what extent a person’s health depends on personal effort? How is it possible to help oneself?
Statistics data show that:
- 20% OF people’s health depends from hereditary factors
- 20% from % ecologic conditions
- 8.5% depend on medicine
- 51,5% depend on lifestyle
By analyzing in details these statistic data we can see how we can influence them.
20% of our health depends from hereditary factors.
This is a rather large number and it looks as though we cannot influence this: some are born with them and others without. This, at first glance! However, although on the one hand it is quite possible that we cannot influence our hereditary factors, it also stands, on the other hand, that we can influence the hereditary factors of our children and grand children. Indeed, we can make it better and more favourable for them. According to the sequence of incarnations, we come to this world through our parents and then, through us, come our children and through our children our grand-children and so on till, after a certain cycle of incarnations, we again incarnate through our children and our grand children. Thus, by living a moral and healthy life, we are right this moment also working on our future health conditions. What we have sawn is what we are now getting and what we saw now is what we shall receive in the future.
4. 20% of our health depends on ecologic factors
People, however, can influence this number by polluting their environment with their foolish actions and reaping the fruits of a ‘bad’ man-made ecology.Let us get rid of industries: agriculture and car industry, both big sources of pollution and poisoning of the environment, of our space of living. Let us start from ourselves: we live as it comes, we do not want to take care of our health and when we are sick, we take medications, prescribed by the doctor. Millions of tons of medications are fabricated by the pharmaceutical industry and people are more than willing to consume them. Not long ago it was discovered that the underground sources of drinking water in the Alps were poisoned by 30 different popular medications. It was discovered that, when these passed through the organism, they did not dilute, but kept their medical properties. Later, with urine, they went into the waste water, which in turns mixed with underground water where they accumulated there. The use of this ‘drinking’ water (even swimming in it, especially little children) gives rise to allergies as well as other illnesses. Antibiotics, cardio relaxants, contraceptives and other drugs bombarded the human body: as it turns out, humanity can be poisoned by drinking water. Moreover, harmful micro-organism that are found constantly in the medical environment become more and more virulent. This is the reason why viruses, fungi, microbes and other abominations appear. Impotent of dealing with them, modern medicine needs to invent to stronger and stronger drugs. In order to put an end to this useless and futile race and stop the poisoning of our environment it is advisable that you heal yourself with natural remedies, and become aware of the importance of this information, starting to use it in your life.
5. 8,5% people’s health is medication dependant.
This applies to the case when , in extreme conditions such as poisoning, trauma and other problems, health needs to be recovered As for the fight against epidemics, this is more connected with economic conditions in life.
51,5% of all illnesses is related to a person’s life style
This includes: how someone thinks, breathes, eats, moves and whether the same person is purifies himself or not. All the above influence someone’s health.
To summarize, it can be stated that besides a mere 8,5% , health depends on a personal effort, it supports the cause not for undergoing treatment , but for self healing. Thanks to a proper organisation of life a person can recover from any kind of illness.
How can we be healthy?
A smart person can start to understand this by pondering a while before than running to the first chemist or to the doctor. When a headache appears, only foolish people toss any consideration aside and run to buy any bad staff from the chemist. Some people through reading this may well start becoming aware that sometimes illness can be useful to be ill. This is why, the knowledge that true medicine starts with the development of the soul is hidden. The knowledge about how to be healthy cannot be found in any books and also why, those who truly seek to help people being healthier are crucified or poisoned, as it happened with Osho. We live in a world where the question of health is very dangerous because, if people were healthy, the economy would collapse: people will not longer be willing to go to war and peace would reign spontaneously on Earth. Yet who needs this?
