The origin of illnesses: karma, genetics or family? — Spotify from the CEC Library

Based on my condition, I would like to raise a question whose answers would be of great use.

Is there any correlation between the formation of the genetic code of physical bodies and karma or the group karma? When investigating my family, I found that two paternal great-uncles had retinal detachment: in one case it followed trauma (a blow), while in the other it occurred spontaneously, as mine did. My mother has a problem in one eye called amblyopia, better known as lazy eye, which is severe congenital myopia; even with corrective lenses, the effect of the myopia does not disappear, and I inherited this problem from her. In the study of genetics, we know there is an atavistic factor in the transfer of genes, not necessarily between parents and children, but one that can skip several generations: so-called atavism or skipping generations.

This leads me to believe that I may have inherited this retinal pathology from my great-uncles, in addition to the amblyopia that I attribute to maternal genetic inheritance. Based on my case, does the genetic factor in triggering a physical problem refute the idea that an illness may have arisen from karmic factors, that is, damage caused to organs by excesses or misuse committed in past reincarnations? In a way, it is impossible not to suspect a hereditary origin for the same problem because of genetic factors in my family. Could this have any correlation with the group karma? But my mother comes from a completely different family lineage from my great-uncles, and the problem of all of them was somatized in me.

One detail: I have two other younger siblings who have perfect vision in both eyes. Illnesses, genetic dysfunction, or karma? This is suffering; there is a retinal detachment present and a search for answers. Our physical difficulties are somatizations that may originate in previous lives. It is a process built up from emotional charges that eventually appear in the physical body. Therefore, it is our process; we build it through our behaviors.

We must understand that we are the cause of our difficulties, but we can resolve them. There is no difficulty that cannot be resolved, especially because this is a path of evolution. Thus, in the end, you come to better understand what you do and change some behaviors to achieve different objectives. Most of the time, to deconstruct somatized problems, we follow a path that may be longer or shorter, proportional to the type of damage we caused ourselves. The visual chakra is very sensitive; when it is affected, it is because, in previous lives, the emotional charges we produced reached its frequencies. Pay attention: this is not about beatings or anything like that. They may be merely emotional charges.

Our family is a group of very similar energies. It is a set of reckonings, but the reckonings are actually individual. I think we should not assume that the origin of our illness is our family, but rather that we are in the same family because we have the same illness; our similarities attract us. We believe that we are born in one place and, from that point on, inherit its problems. Thus, if you have a physical problem, you usually say: "I received this from my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather." It does not work that way. You are born into this family, which already has a very similar component in each member.

This viewpoint can be questioned. Because I have countless astral projections and research this extensively, I may make mistakes, because we all do. These are not absolute truths. However, one thing is certain: like attracts like.

You are born into a family where everything is more or less alike. That is why people sometimes say: "Gosh, my father is very bad, and so is my mother." You can express what you feel, but it is important to know that we are born within a family, within a group, because we have very similar characteristics in some respects. At the very least, we are working through the same chakra; consciousness operates through the same chakra. This is important to know. Think about this, because it will give us space to change and follow a happier path; otherwise, it seems that everything was decreed. In fact, we constitute ourselves.

Each of us has free will to follow a better or worse path. The better path is the one on which you become independent of yourself and of people. It is the path on which your anger, your hurts, your resentment—everything you are—will no longer be with you. Your path is a path of liberation. To do this, it is fundamental that we change our behavior, that we review everything we have learned, because we have learned things that do not serve us, and some things are very old. They no longer serve us, but they still guide our behavior. The behavior that can cause our difficulties is behavior based on anger, rivalry, and competition.

Competition at the level of rivalry is an expression of anger; it is not a good idea. We need to rethink our life even when we have a problem: look at it, accept it. We have to understand that we cannot even accept ourselves. But by accepting the problem, we can say, "Look, how far can I go with this problem?" and begin to do happy and productive things because, in addition to having the responsibility to be happy, our responsibility is also to make others happy. I know it is easy to say this, but it is not so simple to do it; talking is easier.

Think about this, because even with the greatest difficulties... I remember Sister Dulce; I am not certain it was her, but I believe so. She had one quarter of a lung and walked 20 kilometers every day. Do you know why she walked? Why did she do it? She did it because she had the will. Willpower is very important.

You can make your life as happy as possible even if you do not have every resource. You will see that there are people who create wonderful things and, in truth, these people have much less than most of us. I remember that Gandhi made his own clothes, walked barefoot or in an old sandal, wore a loincloth, ate from little bowls, and cleaned his bowl with sand. That was his life, very close to himself. I think we should seek that. We need to live our internal time according to who we are, not according to external things that distance us from our essence. This path must be traveled with great consciousness, and it is not easy.

We should make the most of life and value every second, ceasing to live things we create that lead us nowhere. We know that at the moment of death, you will say: "Damn, I did nothing worthwhile for myself." You may use the best car, wear the best clothes, become excited about many things, and then have nothing, as happens to us. It is very important, at the very least, that we have ourselves as our greatest reference point. Other reference points are not essential when we become our own reference point in life.
