Have you thought about what causes disease in the human body and how to cure it? In this video clip, Austin Vickers, creator of the docudrama, “People v. The State of Illusion”, explains how we create disease and the proactive steps each of us can take to cure it.
AUSTIN VICKERS: The word ‘disease’ really implies a state of uneasiness. It’s ‘dis-ease’, a lack of ease. When considering where disease comes from in the body, I think it’s important to consider the ways or the things that perhaps we are feeling uneasy with.
With many people, sometimes, that’s who they are, or what is it that they are devoting their lives to or the people that they have in their lives, and if we stay in a state of thought which is uneasy for a long period of time, then I believe that chronic thinking ultimately contributes to the physical manifestation of that lack of ease or that ‘dis-ease’ in the body.
So when anyone is ever suffering from disease, the one question I always like to ask them is, “What do you feel uneasy about in your life, whether it’s your relationships or your work or the things that you are passionate about or how authentic you are being, or what it is that you stand for or putting up with? Is there a place in your life that you are feeling uneasy?”
And as we begin to unlock the uneasiness that perhaps exists in their lives, then I think we begin to get to the root of ‘dis-ease’ in the body, and ultimately our goal should always be to be in a state of congruency, to be in a state of authenticity, about who we are, what it is that we are doing, and how we feel in any given moment. As we rid ourselves of uneasiness in the mind, I believe that we begin to rid ourselves of uneasiness or disease in the body.
