The Cause of Diabetes and How to Cure It


On a physical level, diabetes is caused by a disturbance in our metabolism from lack of insulin secreted by the pancreas or as a result of our cells not responding to the insulin that is produced. It is said that around 85% of adults diagnosed with diabetes are overweight. On the surface level, there is no apparent explanation as to what causes this lack of insulin or why the cells do not respond to the insulin in some cases. Traditional medicine has a hard time identifying what causes dis-eases, and why some people get them and others don’t.

The Traditional View of Dis-ease
Traditional medicine, or current mainstream medical practices, teaches us that all illness is the result of some physical cause. For diabetes, the cause is most commonly attributed to genetics or a bad diet and lifestyle. According to what is happening on the physical level, this is the most identifiable cause of it manifesting in a person’s body. But this doesn’t fit, because not everyone that gets diabetes has a parent, grandparent, or any family member for that matter who has previously had diabetes. Additionally, there are those who have never had diabetes in the family and who eat a healthy diet that still contract the dis-ease.

If there was a reliable physical cause of any illness, including diabetes, would it not be consistent from person to person? Is there not a specific cause to this dis-ease, and all other dis-eases? The answer is yes, but it is not a physical cause, it is a mental and emotional cause.

Nothing Physical Can Cause Anything Physical
As I have spoken about briefly in my previous articles, the reality of how illness really works is a complete 180 degree shift from our traditional thinking. We commonly think that all illness is caused by something going wrong physically in our bodies. For diabetes, the physical cause is attributed to the pancreas and insulin. But the physical level is just a superficial level; it is the level of effect. As will be surprising to some, nothing physical can be the cause of any other physical effects. An effect cannot create another effect, only cause can create an effect.

The physical body can do nothing in and of itself. It does not have power to create anything, including illness. Power comes from being at cause, and seems the physical level is the level of effect; it has no power to create. The physical body merely reflects the levels of cause, which are the mental and emotional levels within us. Our physical bodies are no more than a mirror of what is taking place on a deeper level within us. It is according to one of the most powerful laws in the universe, the law of correspondence, as within, so without.

The Specific Cause of Diabetes
As becomes apparent to those who start to understand these things, we see that traditional medicine is seeking the cause to illness and dis-ease in the wrong places. The truth is, there is a specific set of causes to all illness and dis-ease, but those causes are not physical. The causes we are all seeking for are within us, we hold the answers to all our questions. We do not need to seek outside ourselves for that which is already within us.

The pancreas deals with emotions, desires and all intellectual activities. Pancreas disorders indicate an imbalance on the emotional level. If someone is diabetic, it is because they are often very emotional and have too many desires for themselves and others. They want everyone to have a slice of the pie. They expect too much from themselves and from others, and tend to blame themselves for others dissatisfaction.

Essentially, diabetes is a signal from the body that we need to learn to let go and let things happen at their own pace. This person needs to stop trying to control the course of events in their life and realise that it is not their purpose to make everyone else happy.

How to Cure Diabetes
This new paradigm of thinking around health requires us to stop believing that illness and dis-ease is an enemy that needs to be destroyed and nullified. Illness and dis-ease is not a bad thing, neither is it an enemy. All illness and dis-ease is a signal from our bodies that we are not living our lives out of love; it is a servant to aid us in being who we really are, instead of pretending to be who we are not. It is nothing more than a blessing that is currently in disguise, until we understand its true purpose and meaning.

All illness is a message from our bodies, telling us to love ourselves. Diabetes is a specific message that we have unrealistic expectations about ourselves and others. It is a physical effect of us mentally trying to control our lives instead of allowing things to work out on their own. We are getting feedback that we are not meeting our true needs, that our perceptions are holding us back instead of moving us forward.

Only by balancing out these mental and emotional areas can a person truly be cured of diabetes, as this is the level of cause. Yes, diabetes can be treated and the symptoms (effects) relieved by physical means, but that is like putting a poster over a hole in the wall and expecting the hole to go away. Only until we break free from the old thinking that illness needs to be destroyed will we make any real progress in healing illness and dis-ease. The reality is, all healing is self-healing. All illness and dis-ease is designed to move us closer to love and perfect balance with all that is.

How To Lose Weight Without Pills, Diet or Exercise


Does the heading seem too good to be true? Was your initial reaction one of suspicion and caution? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, you are not alone. We have all been conditioned to believe that there are no miracle cures to our weight problems. The experts tell us repeatedly that the key to losing weight is to eat healthy and exercise a certain amount of time a day. But for so many this does not work, and we are left to ask, “Why can’t I lose weight”, or “why can’t I lose those last few pounds?”

The irony is that the answers are all within, literally. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, or to beat down on traditional medicine, but there are people in high places that do not want you to learn the truth about health, especially weight loss. The health industry is a multi-billion and possibly even trillion dollar industry, with the weight loss industry making up a significant portion of that. As the collective are starting to learn, there is nothing outside us that we need to make us healthy. This is not good for the powers that be, as that means they lose their money and subsequent power over us.

Again, there is no need to blame here, they are just doing what they think is right. Even so, we do not need to buy into this false perception of health any longer. Any type of medication is an outer counterfeit of innate healing abilities we already possess. We have been brought up to believe that material things outside us are what heal us, fulfil us, make us happy etc., but this couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is, there is nothing outside us that we need that we don’t already have within.

All things in life are merely feedback of us; who we are at any one time. Health or lack thereof is feedback, in the same way that an argument is in a relationship, or getting advice from a boss or co-worker is in our job or career. Illness, injury or dis-ease is feedback from our bodies letting us know that something is out of balance within us, in our thoughts and/or emotions. The physical, mental and emotional are all interconnected; they are constantly in alignment with each other. The mental and emotional are causal levels, whereas the physical is only the level of effect.

What this means for us is, nothing physical can make us fat or overweight. In other words, eating too much food, not getting enough exercise etc., cannot make us put on weight. If these things do happen, they are the physical effect of underlying thoughts and emotions within us. These thoughts and emotions, at the level of cause, need to be expressed physically to keep in alignment, as they are all connected. This is why some people can eat ridiculous amounts of food, not do any exercise, and never put on any weight. We all know people like this.

Admittedly, this is a big shift in thinking and perspective compared to what is commonly understood about how health works. Many will argue that there are endless cases of people losing weight by exercising and eating healthy, nutritious diets. This is indeed the case, but unless it is accompanied by inner changes, the weight will inevitably return or the body will manifest another symptom as the feedback in its place. This is the biggest shift of all; to understand that nothing physical can cause or influence anything physical.

The only authentic way to change things on the physical level of effect is to change things in the mental and emotional levels of cause. An effect cannot create another effect. An effect cannot cure another effect. Only cause can create effect. Only cause can cure effect. Thus, the only sure fire way to lose weight permanently is to restore balance on the mental and emotional levels. Yes, you can lose weight physically by exercising and going on diets, but if you do not balance the cause within, the weight will come back. If you have ever lost bundles of weight only to put it back on, this is the reason why.

Every illness, injury or dis-ease has a specific set of mental and emotional causes to it. With weight issues, the cause mainly revolves around thoughts and feelings of shame. Most people that are obese, or highly overweight, had a situation or situations when they were young in which they were humiliated and felt ashamed as a result.

Being overweight represents having built a psychological wall around you, a barrier of fat to shield you from the outside world. It is common for people with excess fat to be deeply sensitive and they find it hard to take a deep, hard look at themselves in the mirror. It is also common for people to gain weight as a protective psychological barrier against the opposite sex. These people believe that their obesity will not be attractive to the opposite sex and they will therefore avoid being hurt, humiliated or emotionally abused by them.

Only by balancing these inner perceptions can a person lose weight and keep it off. If these inner changes are not made, the body will continue to communicate to us until we get the message and restore balance within us. Once the inner changes have been made, the physical will change accordingly. This is how it works with weight loss and with all other illnesses, injuries or dis-eases. There is no need for forced medication, diet or exercise, as they do not and cannot ever heal the cause. When you address and balance the cause within you, the physical effect will disappear automatically, without any extra physical effort on your part.

What Do They Mean, "Life Is Just an Illusion?"


Most of us go through our entire lives believing that everything we see in front of us is solid, is real. We never question the nature of the universe or the validity of our senses. Do we even know that there is more to life than what we perceive with the five senses? Most of us would have to answer this question with a “no”. Do we really know what we are looking at each day? What we are touching, feeling, smelling, hearing?

We are all accustomed to and used to the idea that the universe is solid and real. We touch, smell, taste, see and hear things constantly, for this is how we perceive our universe isn’t it? According to our five senses, everything we come into contact with is just as real as we are. To most people, if you can’t experience it with these five senses it does not exist.

This is where it gets interesting, and where we either get confused or lose interest. What we perceive with these five senses, in reality, is only but a small portion of all that exists. Additionally, what we touch, smell, taste, see and hear, i.e. what we sense, is not actually real; as nothing sensed is real. All motion is a simulation, it is an illusion. All we perceive with our senses is motion, motion of light. Motion is not real, although it simulates that which is real.

If this is the case, then what is real? The answer is quite simple, stillness. Stillness of what you might ask? It is none other than Light. Walter Russell, in his timeless classic, The Secret of Light, explains, “Light cannot be seen; it can only be known. Light is still. The sense of sight cannot respond to stillness. That which the eyes ‘feel’ and believe to be light is but wave motion simulating the idea if Light.

When man sees the light of the sun he believes that he is actually seeing the light when the nerves of his eyes are but ‘feeling’ the intense, rapid, shortwave vibrations of the kind of wave motion which he senses as incandescence. Man likewise cannot see darkness. The nerves of his eyes which sense motion slow down to a rate of vibration which he can no longer ‘feel’.”

In layman’s terms, what we see as light is not actually real light; it is but simulated light as an extension of the real Light. It is the same with matter, as matter is but simulated light, it is not the Light itself. The physical universe, where we are currently, is composed of simulated light only, in the form of motion. Motion can only sense motion, it cannot sense stillness. In other words, our five senses can only perceive motion (illusion), and not stillness (reality). This is why Jesus, as recorded in the Bible, said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” Why did he say this? Quite simply, because it is impossible to judge accurately with the senses, as the senses do not perceive that which is accurate, i.e. that which is real, in the first place.

Walter Russell adds further in his book thus mentioned, “Perhaps the confusion which attends this idea would be lessened if we classify everything concerning the spiritual universe, such as life, intelligence, truth, power, knowledge and balance as being the ONE LIGHT of KNOWING, and everything concerning matter and motion as being the TWO SIMULATED LIGHTS of thinking.” Put simply, we cannot know anything real through thinking, as thinking only perceives motion, which is illusion. It is like a mirage. The mirage reflects the idea of that something, although it is not that something.

As summarised by Russell, “The light which we think we see is but motion. We do not see light. We FEEL the wave vibrations set up by the motion which simulates light, but the motion of electric waves which simulate light is not that which it simulates.” This is what it means that life is just an illusion. It is not life itself that is an illusion, but what we think we perceive life to be. The world that we think we see is not the world that really is. Our life is nothing but an accumulation of ‘senses’ experiences which we have interpreted and given meaning. Without judgement, life just is.

What we perceive as being ‘bad’, ‘negative’, ‘devastating’, ‘hard’, etc., are according to our senses, our thinking. Without thinking, none of these things would exist. Most of us live our entire lives caught up in our senses, being stuck in thinking; as this is where we think reality exists. The truth is the exact opposite. Our thinking is limited to illusion, as thinking can only perceive motion. Motion is the simulation of stillness, as stillness is all there is, although our senses tell us otherwise.

So then, with this knowledge, how do we live in reality? We live in reality by living in stillness, which exists only in the now. The past and the future are based on motion. Neither the past nor the future exists, except in our thinking. Stillness is who we really are. As we step out of our thinking and silence our minds, what do we find? Nothing but stillness. We are that stillness. That is who we really are. We are the consciousness, the very awareness that underlies all thought and sensing.

We have the opportunity to live in the moment of now, or to live in the past or future. One is reality, the other illusion. The one entails that everything is perfect, the other that it needs to be changed. The one exists in perfect love and acceptance, the other in fear and separation. Many people never get this because it is too simple. They spend their entire lives searching for some wonderful, amazing, world shattering truth or teaching, never realising what they are searching for is constantly in front of them. It is our choice to which course we pursue in life. When we choose to live in the now, in stillness, we live in reality. When we choose to live in the past or future, in our thinking, which is motion, we live in illusion.

The Cure To Illness Is… You


As of the year 2012 we are considered to be at the most advanced point in human history. At no time in our existence are we said to have had the technology that we possess today. The sciences are developing new theories daily as new entities are discovered in the universe. Progress in technology amazes us daily as we are introduced to new gadgets, with each subsequent version being smaller and more powerful than the last. Yet, in spite of these amazing advances, one thing seems not to be advancing, our health. Have you ever wondered why? If we are making all these advances in other fields, would you not expect advances to be made in the health industry?

As of this very moment, cancer has never been so prevalent amongst humanity. More and more people are dying of it every year, and that is not just because the population is increasing. More people are dying of the flu, but we are meant to have the best and most advanced vaccinations ever created. We seem to be advancing in other areas but are going backwards in health and medicine, why is that? “The cure is out there” the experts tell us, “we just haven’t found it yet”. The truth is, they will never find it, because the cure to illness is not outside of us, it is within us.

This is the missing link and is the reason why current medicine is making no real progress. Most people are taught from a very young age that colds are caught from others, that viruses are transferred from one person to the next and that certain illnesses are genetic. It is commonly thought that cancer and other life threatening illnesses are just random and there is currently no explanation as to why some people live through it and why some don’t. In the eyes of most, illness is just random, and when one is afflicted with it they ask, “why me?” What a different world it would be if we all understood that we are not only the cause of our illnesses, but we are also the cure.

Admittedly, this can be a bit hard to swallow for most of us. The first impulse is to either reject it, or to jump on your own back and ask in despair, “So you mean it’s my fault?” Firstly, it is not about fault. We live in a universe of perfect order where nothing is random. Every effect has a cause, and there is not an effect without a cause. Illness is always an effect, it is never the cause. There is always an underlying cause to any illness, which is what is currently missing from current medicine. Illness is only a symptom; it is not the cause itself. Illness is like the oil light on your car dashboard, it lights up to let you know that something is wrong in the engine; it is not the cause itself.

Current medical treatment can be compared to pulling out the fuse on the oil light, so that it can’t be seen anymore. It does not deal with the real cause, which exists somewhere else. Current medicine alleviates the symptoms for a while, but it does not cure the cause. For some it may seem as healing has taken place, but it will always come back as the same thing or something else. We cannot cure something physical with something physical, as that is trying to cure effect with effect. We can only cure effect by being at cause.

You see, the mental and emotional levels are the level of CAUSE, whereas the physical level is only the level of EFFECT. Nothing physical is the cause of a physical effect. In other words, contrary to popular belief, nothing outside us (physical) can make us sick. Most people catch colds because of their belief in catching a cold. Do away with the belief (mental) and you do away with the illness (physical). This is how it works, always and in all ways.

The body acts as medium for the mental and emotional levels to express themselves. The physical level does not create anything; it merely reflects that which is created on the deeper levels. The problem is most of us are not aware of our thoughts and emotions. This is where illness comes in, as illness is our (physical) bodies attempt at helping us become aware of these underlying thoughts and emotions. Illness is a tap on the shoulder from the body, letting us know something is unbalanced within us.

When we are balanced and whole within, we are balanced and healthy without. In other words, when we perceive the world with a balanced perspective, we receive no feedback in our bodies. Conversely, when we have an unbalanced perspective, we receive feedback to let us know that we are no longer balanced and acting out of love. Again, this is because most of us are unconscious of what is going on within. In one way, illness is a tool to wake us up, to help us become conscious of our unconscious thoughts and emotions.

This is why being at the effect level does not get us anywhere. Until we realise and accept that we are both the cause and the cure, we will not make any real progress in medicine. All illness is actually a blessing, it is there to serve us and move us forward in life. In reality, illness is 100% positive in its intent and purpose. We can only see it as this once we move from the EFFECT level to the CAUSE level.

There is no cure outside us that we need; every cure to every illness exists within us already. The question is, are YOU ready to accept this? Is it time for you to move from effect to cause in your life? Living at effect gets us nowhere, being at cause gets us everywhere. Everything in life is either an expression of love, or a call to love. All illness is a call to love, are you ready to heed that call?
