The shortest path to awakening is to improve your relationship, it must start from the relationship with your parents. Whoever you are, there is a certain amount of pain related to your parents. If it is not on the surface level, when you go deeper, you will find it. Once you improve relationships with parents, your relationship with your partner improves, and other relationships are also affected. However, if you have bad relationship, awakening will be a daunting task. We have found that the heart plays a very important role. Unless the heart cooperates, we are not able to get higher states of consciousness. In order to make the heart really work with you, relationships have to be set right. And, strangely, we find that the physical heart itself responds very differently after that. And it’s as though the heart is sending messages to the brain, and the brain starts functioning differently. If relationships are not in order, the heart just fails to cooperate, and that’s where we get stuck. What is the importance of awakening for the

Not only is human connection vital to live a happy and joyful life, but it is necessary to create a legacy, and thus live on through others. But in order to do this, one must first overcome their ego and their sense of self. Once all of the “I” thoughts are gone, one can relate, but fully understand, the higher powers as well as other human beings around us. However, it is important to accept that we may never fully understand the driving force of this universe. While it can be experienced, and we can briefly get an idea of what it is, it is impossible to define these concepts in words, because we don’t have a language that transcends what we can understand. And though many recognize that these concepts could never be fully understood by the human brain, determined minds continue to ask questions that will never have an answer, “pushing their minds to the limits of what we can know” (Armstrong,

Everything in the body can be related to cognizance, and in turn, vitalism. For example, every organ in the body contains vital force as part of the body encompassed by vitalism. This vital force can be seen in the fact that all organs possess a frequency at which they function (for example: echocardiograms in the heart). High organ function relies on sleep, nutrition, exercise, emotional state, mental wellness, and other factors for optimal production. People with high organ function have increased over all health. This means that the brain has less requirements to restore and so the body has increased disease resistance. There is homeostasis or balance in the body, and vitalism is achieved. The link between mental, emotional, and physical is evident by the interconnection in these factors and the body’s function, leading to vitalism.

...e or friendship. We are taught that we don't have an identity if we are alone. Which is why we treat loneliness as a disease, one to be avoided at any cost. Loneliness is viewed as an inadequacy of our personalities. Though all of us are taught to be independent, our independence is superficial. We can cook, clean, and do our laundry but we can't seem to take care of our emotions independently. We are taught that we need to share all our emotions. And I believe that however hard we search we can never get the kind of understanding that we are looking for. We are taught to be uncomfortable in our own world. Society conditions us to believe that we are inadequately equipped to be alone and content. And that alone always means lonely.
