Here is a continuation of light and darkness metaphor: a bucket of water. The bucket represents you. The water represents your level of health. What happens is that we all come into life with unique buckets. Written on inside of your bucket is a list of all symptoms and diseases that you are predisposed to.When you were born you had a certain level of water in your bucket. Any symptoms or diseases that are written on inside of your bucket above your water level, are symptoms and disease you express.
Almost every one has symptoms that are above water level of health: like fatigue, bad eyesight, low energy, allergies, headaches, and other minor symptoms. Many of these symptoms that you express are symptoms that you ignore because you think they are just part of life.
What you and most other people have done up until now is to take a symptom that is written above water-line in bucket and move it down below water-line. And magic, no more symptom. The symptom was treated and now it is gone. What happened to water level in bucket when you treated symptom and moved it lower in bucket? That’s right, nothing. Nothing happened to your level of health.
After a while symptoms get all crowded and nudge around to make more room, and end up pushing some other symptom or disease above water level on top because all symptoms below need more space. This is why people who treat their symptoms are constantly having new symptoms they need to treat. Whether they treat their symptoms naturally, or with drugs and surgery, they are constantly treating their symptoms, and more keep coming.
What happens in life is that we also put holes in our bucket. As water leaks out, more and more symptoms and diseases come up above water level. We express more and more symptoms.
Some common examples of “holes in bucket” are drinking alcohol, eating sugar, taking drugs (both prescription and over-the-counter), taking street drugs, experiencing stress, putting poisonous chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and other things into our body from food we eat, smoking, mis-perceptions from faulty belief systems, etc.
