Explained: What is Disease?

Imagine your body as a symphony orchestra, where every cell, thought, and breath plays a note. Disease happens when these notes fall out of tune – not because of an “invader,” but because your rhythms clash with nature’s harmony. It’s your body’s way of sounding the alarm: “We’ve lost our balance” Let’s explore why disharmony makes us sick – and how we can retune ourselves to heal.

Explained: What is Disease?

Definition:
“Disease is abnormal or inharmonious vibration of the elements and forces composing the human entity on one or more planes of being, in conformity with the destructive principle of Nature applied to individual life.”

Explanation

Disease occurs when your body’s natural rhythms (physical, mental, moral, or spiritual) fall out of sync with nature’s balance. This “disharmony” activates the destructive principle – breaking down health instead of building it up.

Key Concepts

  • “Inharmonious Vibration”
    • Your body operates like an orchestra:
      • Harmony: Organs/cells work in rhythm (e.g., steady heartbeat, balanced hormones).
      • Disharmony: Systems clash (e.g., erratic blood sugar → diabetes).
  • “Planes of Being”
    Imbalance on any level causes disease:
    • Physical: Chronic inflammation, organ failure.
    • Mental: Anxiety disrupting digestion.
    • Moral: Guilt/stress weakening immunity.
    • Spiritual: Lack of purpose leading to depression.
  • “Destructive Principle Applied to Life”
    • Disease isn’t random – it’s the body breaking down due to disharmony.
    • Example: Toxins (smoking) → lung cells self-destruct (emphysema).

Examples

  • Physical Disharmony → Arthritis
    • Normal: Joints move smoothly (constructive principle).
    • Disease: Chronic inflammation (destructive principle) erodes cartilage → pain/stiffness.
  • Mental Disharmony → IBS
    • Normal: Stress hormones rise/fall briefly (harmony).
    • Disease: Chronic anxiety → gut “vibrations” (motility) go haywire (Out of Control) → diarrhea/pain.
  • Moral Disharmony → Burnout
    • Normal: Work-rest balance (aligned with purpose).
    • Disease: Overwork + self-neglect → exhaustion (destructive breakdown).
  • Spiritual Disharmony → Chronic Fatigue
    • Normal: Passion energizes the body.
    • Disease: Feeling life lacks meaning → immune dysfunction → constant tiredness.

Why This Matters in Nature Cure

  • Root Cause: Disease starts with disharmony (e.g., poor habits, stress, toxins).
  • Healing: Restore balance by:
    • Aligning with nature (sunlight, whole foods).
    • Addressing all planes (e.g., meditation for mental stress + detox for physical toxins).

Nature Cure Perspective:
“Fever isn’t the disease – it’s the body’s constructive attempt to burn infection. Suppressing it disrupts nature’s rhythm; supporting it (with rest/fluids) restores harmony.”

Conclusion

Disease is not an “enemy” – it’s a warning bell signaling disharmony with your life purpose and nature’s laws. By realigning with both, the body reactivates its constructive healing power.

“Health is a symphony; disease is a missed beat. Retune your life to nature’s rhythm.”
