Many times when people undergo treatment for something, they experience getting worse before getting better. I’m not talking about the obvious chemical poisoning like with chemo therapy. I think most people realize why they get worse before getting better. It’s literally poison.
What I’m talking about is when you start doing things that are good for you; adding purity and sufficiency into your life.
To understand this, you have to look to the nervous system. The nervous system coordinates EVERYTHING in your life. Every second of every day your nervous system is organizing life to keep you functional and going. It doesn’t matter if you’re awake, asleep, happy, sad, drunk, or in the middle of running a marathon.
Your nervous system is organizing and coordinating how to best respond to temperature change, oxygen levels, heart rate, pulse, neurotransmitters, nutrient assimilation, waste excretion, communication, and thousands upon thousands of other stimuli each and every second of the day. All this is happening subconsciously; you don’t have to think about any of it. All this is happening while you’re consciously reading this post.
Pretty freakn’ amazing, right? As conscious as you are of life’s busyness, if you had to juggle what your nervous system juggles consciously, we would all be in a mental wards or no one would live past the age of 5 because we would probably forget some major function to coordinate.
The more we add more stimulus from physical, chemical, and emotional inputs, the more our nervous system has to juggle. No wonder people can’t concentrate, can’t sleep, and medicate themselves to ‘just keep going.’
