When one is sick, one is usually cared for. When one is sick, one can feel as bad as one really feels. So we see that things can get very tricky. So it becomes critical for us to become more conscious, more aware, to pay attention and be willing to explore the deeper levels of choice in our lives. This is the power of our desire to feel loved and accepted for the very ones that we are.

For lasting change to occur, we must, in most cases, address the deeper psychological and spiritual levels of our lives.
