Questions Regarding Health in Light of Spiritual Science
The fact that these points of view are not so widespread is demonstrated by an experience that each of us can have on a daily basis. You are missing this or that. Your mother finds out or notices it; she remembers that in similar cases, this or that once helped her, so she starts treating you in this way. Then your father comes along and remembers that something else once helped him. Then your aunt comes, then your uncle; they might say: fresh air, light, or water will help. These prescriptions are often so contradictory that they cannot be fulfilled. Everyone has their own remedy that they swear by, and that must then be unleashed on the poor patient. Who has not experienced that this rush of good advice coming from all sides is actually quite a predicament when a person is lacking this or that! All these things stem from an unrealistic way of thinking, from an abstract way of thinking, from a dogmatism that completely ignores the fact that human beings are individual beings, unique beings. Every human being is a being in their own right, and that is what matters above all else: to take this reality of the human being into account when dealing with the phenomena of health and illness.
