You'll notice a bit of a new look. Hopefully it'll catch on... Sometimes a fresh look outside is just what you need to get the insides moving. I guess there's a balance there. Like the left side of a scale balances the right, our inside balances our out.
Someone started me thinking a while ago about mind/body connection. I don't tend to think of it that way. It's more of an inside/outside thing to me. And this far deeper than the physical. It's hard for me to decide where one starts and the other begins. But I'm ahead of myself. Anyway, this friend got me thinking with a question in terms of how healing is genuinely and significantly affected by thoughts and feelings. (I never answered her question. Sorry.)
Something called Noetic Science. I'm sure it's fascinating research. But to me it's not all too surprising. I think C.S. Lewis wrote about how we are amphibious creations: part physical and part spiritual. As opposed to an angel or demon, which is pure spirit, but with a capacity to affect the physical realm.
Anyway, it makes perfect sense that our souls which are so very much a part of who we are would affect how our body works. For we are both parts, we are not half physical and half spiritual, with a clean line running down the middle. But our spirit is one with our body and our body one with our spirit. So when one is something bears an effect on one, it does so on the other. Christ will raise not only our souls from the dead on the last day, but also our bodies. Which raises, questions I won't answer; God will take care of it.
I'm quickly getting in deeper than I wanted to. But my point is that there are a lot of people searching for what makes the human body/mind/whathaveyou so incredibly special. For what makes people know things 'instinctively'. They need to look no farther than our created nature as spiritual/physical amphibians. I'll muse more on this point I'm sure. But not now.
