<strong>Alchemical</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> - L2M - Issue 24<br />
For a human being to be ‘conscious’ requires a level<br />
of energy to be maintained, which can be defined as<br />
‘spirit’. For instance, if we become ‘dis-spirited’ we<br />
lose energy, and therefore an amount of ‘spirit’ is<br />
lost, causing weakness in our immune, and other<br />
systems. In general human beings do not define being<br />
‘dis-spirited’ as an energy loss, rather as a state of<br />
mental health - that is as having ‘lost enthusiasm’ and<br />
hope; or being 'disheartened', or a lack of<br />
determination or confidence. This is defined in<br />
psychoanalytic theory as a mental state, but in<br />
actuality it is a change of energy on a spiritual level.<br />
Hawkins book explores the concept of subjective and<br />
non-linear truth, stating that truth is relative to one's<br />
level of consciousness. In effect the more truthful we<br />
are (that is to ourselves) then the more energy we<br />
have available at our disposal.<br />
This ‘truth’ is not necessarily allied to its opposite (a<br />
lie), and so it is not necessarily about lying, but about<br />
how honest you are with yourself. It is more allied to<br />
‘appropriateness’, that is the suitability of yourself to<br />
a task that needs to be actioned. In effect the more<br />
appropriate your action in response to an event, the<br />
more enlightened you are, and the more energy you<br />
will have to succeed in your task.<br />
Some would say that this would be the ability to be<br />
‘wise’!<br />
What this means in real terms is whether the<br />
response to an outside level of energy, is aligned<br />
with the appropriate internal one.<br />
If you respond appropriately, then you maintain<br />
your ‘spirit’, and avoid the need for ‘soul retrieval’ -<br />
often seen as a shamanic process of recovery of the<br />
soul, relevant to a traumatic event.<br />
If you respond appropriately you will maintain your<br />
level of energy, and your immune system will work<br />
appropriately as a result, dealing with pathogens<br />
and inflammatory cytokines exceedingly well.<br />
On the other hand, if you do NOT respond to the<br />
outside stress with the appropriate action, then<br />
your immune system will start to fail, and you will<br />
become stressed and potentially ill. If this is not<br />
rectified with an appropriate reciprocated action it<br />
is possible that you will become more seriously ill,<br />
and then dis-eased. This is where the medical model<br />
kicks in, as the ‘illness’ becomes visible.<br />
