Understanding Illness
Back home, Ren Qushun knew that Su Ziyang and Fairy Li had come down from the Daoist temple in the mountains, so he treated them with great courtesy.
Because Su Ziyang had just hit the nail on the head, Ren Qushun looked at Su Ziyang with even higher regard. When they arrived at his home, they sat down and made tea.
Su Ziyang and Ren Qushun started talking, but Ren Qushun most of the talking while Su Ziyang listened.
It was only then that Su Ziyang realized how vast and wondrous the world truly is! And what it means to have endless learning.
Ren Qushun doesn't speak like a textbook; he doesn't follow any logic and basically just says whatever comes to mind.
First, let's talk about eye diseases:
The inner corner of the eye is connected to the kidneys, the outer corner to the heart, the upper eyelid to the spleen, and the white of the eye to the lungs. Eye diseases are caused by looking outwards.
Looking after the elderly is bad for their eyes. Poor eyesight is often a sign of failing in one's filial duty.
Because there are unsavory things hidden in one's heart, the eyes are afraid of light.
Itchy eyes originate from the kidney meridian.
The burning sensation around the eyes originates from the lung meridian.
Tears streaming down one's face for no apparent reason indicate resentment or hatred.
People with nearsightedness can only see the faults of others, but not their own.
The flaws you see in others are the flaws you have yourself.
Because finding fault with others is itself a flaw. Look inward, focus on inner reflection, not outward appearance.
Take off your glasses and look at yourself, not others. True repentance brings healing; find the good in others, not their faults. Accept your fate. Fighting against fate only leads to a life of sin.
If you constantly focus on the faults of others, you're bound to develop health problems.
It feels like there's always something pricking your eyes. It's because you're arrogant, think no one is as good as you.
After the baby is born, the light bulbs in the house should be replaced with dimmer ones, as strong light can damage the baby's eyes.
Cataracts are caused by elderly people focusing too much on the mistakes of others or worrying too much about younger generations.
The eyes are the vanguard; once they see the report from the heart, the marshal, the heart is moved.
When the heart stirs, the body will follow; when the body stirs, the desire will follow.
The eyes see – the heart is moved – sexual desire arises – the body moves (this is how poisonous gases enter the body).
If your heart remains unmoved, everything will be fine. Or, if your mouth moves but your heart remains unmoved, everything will be fine too.
If there's a problem with your blood vessels or meridians, look for it in your finances or if you're experiencing internal heat.
High blood pressure is like internal heat, a kind of nameless, simmering heat.
Some people experience high blood pressure due to financial stress and anxiety. Curing high blood pressure is difficult; it requires controlling stress, meaning letting go of things that cause it. Once the stress subsides, the high blood pressure will naturally improve. It's crucial to avoid becoming agitated.
Irritability can also cause pancreatic disorders and decreased kidney function. If this personality trait isn't changed, it can develop into a syndrome over time.
You must cheer up and not get agitated. When you are agitated, you can write "understanding principles and gentleness" on paper. Writing it often can transform your nature and bring you peace. Gentleness can generate the water of wisdom, and understanding principles can generate the fire of true yang.
Vitiligo is caused by a problem in the blood.
Blood heat.
Blood represents wealth, and so does water.
If one is too preoccupied with money, one will develop an inexplicable anger. Fire is associated with the heart, and the heart belongs to the fire element.
When we are too hot-tempered or overly concerned with money, toxins can enter our bloodstream. Excessive internal heat can cause fever that doesn't subside and keeps recurring even after medication. Some children frequently get fevers and colds because their parents are too hot-tempered.
Excessive internal heat enters the heart and bloodstream, causing blood heat and potentially leading to vitiligo. When a person experiences stress at home, in society, or at work, and also has internal heat, it can cause blood heat. One should calm their emotions and cultivate joy to allow the stagnant heat to be released externally, leading to anemia and low platelet count. There are several possible causes.
Adults produce blood cells (platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells) from their semen. Low platelet counts indicate toxicity in the semen, meaning the produced blood cells are insufficient or some are substandard. If there are too many substandard cells, exceeding the normal range, it can lead to leukemia. Toxicity in the semen can be caused by stress or excessive stress, which allows toxins to enter the semen. When there is too much toxicity in the semen, the production of lymphocytes, platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells will be insufficient and substandard.
The other element, money, belongs to the water element, which also governs the kidneys. If you focus too much on money and exert too much effort, it can damage your essence and lead to similar consequences.
If you're too narrow-minded, you'll get easily tempted and anxious when it comes to money. Your blood supply is already insufficient, and this will create a vicious cycle. Once blood is produced from the essence and enters the external circulation, problems will arise.
To treat mouth ulcers, one must first look for problems related to speech.
Sometimes we don't realize that what we say has a negative impact. We should carefully examine ourselves against the standards of treating others well, as taught by virtuous people, and sincerely repent.
My belly button hurts in the middle of the night. This illness happened in the middle of the night. The belly button pain indicates that you have resentment, and you've been harboring resentment for a while. And this resentment started in the middle of the night.
Think about who you resented in the middle of the night. Find the root cause and examine yourself. Even if others are wrong, it's wrong to blame them.
Resentment is like hell; it's like having a path to heaven but refusing to take it, while forcing your way into hell when there's no way out. So if he's wrong, and you keep resenting him, you're wrong too.
You're punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes. It's easy to say, but it's hard to get over. But you can get over it if you believe in Buddhism, believe in karma, or accept your fate.
Facial nerve paralysis. You tend to favor one side of your face, and you can't stand anyone.
If you're instantly attracted to someone the moment you see them, this can lead to facial nerve atrophy or facial nerve paralysis. Some people are particularly concerned about their appearance, and if something happens to them and their face is injured, they get angry immediately.
If this happens frequently, it indicates a problem with the connection between the central nervous system and the facial nerves, leading to blockages. To cure this, one needs to expel excess heat, such as through laughter, allowing the facial nerves to move on their own, and gently massaging the area with one's hands. However, this condition heals slowly.
Because the nervous system generally heals slowly. You must persist in finding joy; only when your Yang energy is sufficient can the blocked areas of the nerves become unblocked again.
Cervical spondylosis is like arguing with elders or superiors behind their backs.
They don't speak ill of others behind their backs, they complain behind their backs, they plot against them, they hate them behind their backs.
Not only cervical spine problems, but also problems with the posterior neck muscles. Sometimes it's caused by arguments between spouses, or by financial disputes with others, such as elders, leading to anger and resentment.
Conflicts with your boss at work can also lead to cervical spondylosis. Similarly, arguments between spouses can also cause cervical spondylosis.
Some people frequently experience stiff necks; the real reason is often due to straining or arguing with others from behind, which can lead to cervical spondylosis.
If the cervical artery stenosis is not congenital, since both arteries and veins are blood vessels, stenosis here indicates that you are narrow-minded about money, have a narrow-minded approach to problems, and a small heart, which can lead to stenosis in certain areas.
If it's congenital, it means the parents have the same problem.
Patients with spondylitis recognize that they are purging.
Joint pain is mainly caused by finding fault with others, and also by taking on too much responsibility for others (too much, and you can't take it all on).
Being prone to getting stuck on trivial matters is like having rheumatism; it means you've accumulated all five poisons. These poisons reside in your heart and spread to your limbs. Spreading to your limbs means spreading to your joints. You need to recall who you've been with. There are too many people; you need to sincerely repent and strive to change your outlook on life.
White hair is related to the nervous system, fire, and blood.
