A disease and its treatment can be a series of humiliations, a chisel for humility.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel coming on a strange disease - humility.
Disease is, in essence, the result of conflict between soul and mind, and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort.
With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.
Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature.
The generality have considered that disease is but a confused and disordered effort in Nature, thrown down from her proper state, and defending herself in vain.
Disease is an experience of a so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body.
The disease is painless; it's the cure that hurts.
Oh, humiliation is poisonous. It's one of the deepest pains of being human.
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.
