I have been compelled to consider the notion that, put simply, would see the somatic immune system as my physical protection from physical harm. And my spiritual health in similar but analogous fashion to be my safety from lies big and small. My B.S. protector, my antenna on the world, my filter over eye and ear which, when tuned and fed and strengthened, provides me with the best possible life in which i can go forth in the world both trusting and discerning. Living in love, including tough love: that aspect of love that sets reasonable limits on behaviour of self and others, sees God-given value in all people, compassion that rests in the strength of knowing. Choosing freely from all viewpoints evil and good. Expecting reward and punishment in proportion to actions: justice in fair measure. Measuring our society with the appropriate yardstick, not of simply materialistic success but true success. A life of meaning.
It may seem subjective, and it is. But i remind myself that our measure of success, or what is good and is not, what is moral or repugnant, was not present at birth. Rather a gift freely given by those who knew the Truth. And we who share in that truth have others to thank for opening our eyes to it.
