The bad news is that your Soul is broken, the good news is it can be fixed. I just know whenever I hear the buzz words “Mental Health” that what they actually mean is that the person’s soul is ill or at the very least struggling to cope with some part of the reality of life on earth. In my opinion, this struggle is a perfectly normal response to the state of the world period. It’s a literal miracle that more people aren’t damaged by the sheer harshness of the state of affairs in this current world.
The problem is when you mislabel an illness you inevitably raise the chances of causing more damage by administering the wrong treatment. So here I am to chip in my 2 cents so that you can begin your journey to diagnose the problem and target your solutions based on the clarity that knowledge brings rather than following the status quo, throwing darts in the dark hoping something sticks or worse, being relegated to becoming a giniepig for greedy evil people sometimes at the high high cost of your very life.
If you remember nothing, hold on to this one. Bear in mind that this summation is highly highly over simplified for the very fact that it is intended to be your jumping off point to finding the source of your problems which is extremely nuanced from person to person. Here’s the thing to remember, Every full Human that has ever been a Being on Earth is made up of 3 parts. 1. Our Spirit, 2. Our Soul, 3. Our Body. Every soul houses 3 parts, The Mind (responsible for your thoughts or intellect) The Will (for making decisions) and The Emotions (for processing your feelings).
It is my personal belief that these 3 parts of the soul are simply too interwoven to be addressed or treated separately. There lies the issue with flippantly calling a soul issue a mind issue. Whenever they say mental health issues I’m not sure they understand that hyper focusing on the mind exposes the whole healing process to jeopardy but then again I’ve recently learned and so now understand that some evil people exist just for the purpose of being evil so I have expanded my bandwidth for human debauchery. They say the mind is having issues but when you actually listen to them you quickly realize that they all seam to have problems with the Feelings/emotions part of them AND their Wills too because their decisions are very often messed up too. This is because as I eluded to earlier, It’s simply not possible to think or believe something and not have it affect your decision on said matter and somehow disconnect it from your emotions on the matter. It is impossible. I don’t care how broken you’ve become or been made to believe that you are, your soul does not lie to itself. It WILL be obvious to anyone with a clear eye.
This is why I suggest a more wholistic approach to the state of people’s souls because even the most sheltered of us hardly gets off unscathed by the presence of evil amongst the good that exists on earth. I know personally too that a person’s spirit can be broken which further exacerbates the suffering of the soul because even those two parts are so closely linked that the Bible claims only God can severe their connection. Thats why I find it disingenuous at best and outrightly irresponsible for an industry of ‘experts’ to trivially label such a complicated issue as a mental illness knowing fully well the interlinked nature of the parts of the human Soul and its strong tie to the human Spirit.
This misunderstanding of the soul-ish type of illness makes it hard to treat. May I suggest that before you go medicating your body into oblivion trying to fix one-third of your soul, I suggest you learn about the full nature of your being first. Spirit soul and body are obviously interconnected but identifying what part is suffering can help you narrow your efforts and fine tune your strategy to heal. Haven’t you heard stories of how people’s physical illnesses (body level) were amazingly helped or worsened by the state of their emotions (soul level)? These stories show that even you physical state is linked to the state of your inner being.
When your body is sick however there are tons of experts willing and sometimes able to help you heal but who knows any specialist doctors that can help you when your soul and spirit are broken? If you say a psychologist or therapist then a, I would refer you to the paragraphs above clearly stating that they only address the mental part of the human souls and promptly proceed to b, c, and e, by asking why do most people never truly graduate from needing the crutch of those sessions? And with the cost of those therapy interventions how many people out of the population of the world can’t afford treatment and have essentially been damned to suffer and buckle under the weight of their ill souls? And how come those people who swear by therapy often seem like they’re just a major life event away from total collapse since their “mental well being” is tethered to the words and paid for strategies of another human forever? That is not the way to live, at least it’s not the way God would rather have you live. I know only one Person who can truly heal you from a broken spirit or a damaged soul. Precisely One. The Holy Spirit.
Do I really need to mention btw that GOD alone can help you with this? Ummm Hellooo? your Creator/Maker? As in Architect? As in Manufacturer? As in Designer? Sigh, fine, 🙄 do whatever you want. I just know that NO ONE can help you more than Him. No therapist, no doctor, no counselor, no pastor, coach, shaman, sangoma, witch, warlock, psychic, healer, cult leader, parent, friend, spouse, child, associate, NO ONE but GOD. K?
Nuf said. 🍭
