What if our mental wellness is our spiritual barometer? What if it is our awareness of our spirit; our inner sense of self...the essence that has lived with us...changeless? What if what we call mental is actually a spiritual crisis? How then would we treat mental illness? What if the signs of mental illness is more attached to our lack of standing with our soul? How important do you think it is to be aligned with the truth...and how does it affect our spirits when we are not?
To me...it makes sense to have confusion manifest and grow the further from our truth we live and act. It even makes more sense that those who rise against the falsehoods are labeled mentally ill.
For they refuse to capitulate and conform to things that dishonor what they know to be true...or insult their souls.
Mostly, the 'mentally ill' are the most truthful and the less afraid of what others think. They seem to live by their own standards...governed from within.
I wonder what would happen to our Mental Health Centers IF they became Spiritual Crisis Centers?
Mental health or the lack thereof has a stigma attached and yet most of humanity is living a life that excludes the spirit.
I am not talking about the spirit that religion speaks of.
I am talking about the essence of who you are. What brings you immense happiness and joy and what passions drive you. I am talking about the sense of self you have carried along often denying out of fear of disappointing someone.
I am talking about the imprint you were born with...the special gift you have to bring to this world. The special nature and energy that is uniquely you.
How many of us have lived our lives far removed from this creative energy call spirit? How many of us spend very little time knowing who we are minus the labels and jobs and roles we do?
I would love to see the quantum leap from mental illness to spiritual crisis...to see a movement of souls rising. Disowning everything that insults or threatens the freedom to be.
Imagine a land of happy souls!
