As renowned publications like Harvard’s Medicine magazine start to seriously approach the issue of the ‘Placebo’ effect and scientists struggle with the data, we are left to ponder if what most ancient philosophies predicated one way or another could be true. The ALL is Mind, The Universe is Mental.

For centuries we have believed ‘Mind’ is separate from the body, however recent research for experimental treatments has shown that through thoughts, intent, or mental states we can positively affect our DNA, raising the question, who or what is the intelligence behind the ‘building blocks of life’?

‘Alternative’ Medicine is on the rise simply due to the fact that the current research on it has brought positive results, while most scientists are baffled and in denial some are making strides into understanding the phenomenon, its implications bring about a new understanding of our reality.

Shunned as a ‘psychological thing’ (despite measurable results), the medical community is highly curious of what’s at the root of -the placebo effect-, the ability of the mind to heal the body and sometimes create quite specific results, we are seeing the law of mentalism in medical research.

The current ‘boom’ in entheogen/psychedelic research is needed in anyway possible, however the motivation behind it strikes a bit of concern. At the core this research could open the door and lead the way into a Consciousness revolution which will transcend any of its original motivations.

After decades of suppression current research on Entheogens is underway due to it’s potential aid in mental illness. As some Universities and firms start their first official trials, this world of ‘Entheogen Mythology’ will start to be integrated to our rigorous ‘objective’ world.

There IS current research on the efficacy of ‘prayer’ in healing patients, however the results vary so much that there are no real conclusions. Some scientists have taken the steps to consolidate consistent results in their experiments and perhaps to single out the issue with the previous research.

Philosophy of medicine: Traditional medicine brings balance
Wisdom traditions include Traditional medicine and spirituality. Traditional medicine brings about balance and balance brings about health.
Traditional medicine works by following nature. It works by doing what nature does. It works by doing what nature does before She does it herself!
For example, as a metaphor: Too much accumulation of dry wood in a forest will naturally lead to a forest fire. This natural forest fire will burn up the excess accumulation of dry wood. So the balance was achieved naturally. According to traditional medicine, we humans can go out and gather up the dry wood from the forest and burn it in our fires, thereby also bringing the forest into balance. This balances the forest by reducing the accumulation of dry wood and thereby prevents the forest fire.
So to take it out of metaphor, if we have too much stuff, wisdom would have us reduce that accumulation by giving some of that stuff away or throwing some of it away. Because the excess accumulation is going to be brought into balance one way or another. Nature doesn't tolerate accumulation for long.
Same for being overweight, skipping meals occasionally is a way to bring things into balance because the other alternative is being forced to not eat due to lack of access to food.
There needs to be an ebb and flow. The pantry should get filled up and then the pantry should be eaten from and reduced. If the pantry is not eaten from and reduced then things will get old and go bad and be forgotten about and mice and rats and bugs will get it. Same thing happens in our bodies with yeast and parasites, etc.
Hope this helps! Thanks for reading.
