When I had a problem with my eyes, I used some eye drops.
When I had some problems with my ears, I used some ear drops.
I've been roaming pharmacy stores for a while now, still I'm yet to see anyone of them show me any mind drops.
A problem with the mind is not one to be handled by pharmaceutical experts.
A problem with the mind is not one to seek stores in search of a cure.
A problem with the mind is one that can only be tackled with the correct application of a MIND MEDICINE.
“Mind Medicine”, I perceive you echoing.
“What's this young man talking about”? I sense you asking right now.
“Thought he said Pharmaceutics couldn't handle it”? I suspect you're puzzling at the moment.
…Mind Medicine I still emphasise as the only cure to problems with the mind.
Everyone one has got their own unique mind medicine, as what heals your mind may not heal mine, and could infact infect it.
A time comes in the life of a man when his mind will refuse to be helped, and it all looks like everything seems to be deferring solutions. Though he be physically strong and health wisely fit, he knows for a surety, that something somewhere just isn't alright. There we go, that is it, it's called a mind sickness, and such can only be cured by a befiting mind medicine.
Your mind medicine is that which you do that bring you relative peace and are able to sustain even when all the chips are down.
Your mind medicine is that thing that will always tilt your cheek upward irrespective of how sorrowful the sorrow at hand may be.
To some, it’s an activity.
To some, it’s as ordinary as a song.
To some, it’s as simple as a word.
To some, it’s a person or group of persons.
To some, it’s as silly as a particular food.
To some, it gets as weird as talking to oneself.
To some, it’s as expensive as travelling far away.
To some, it’s as interesting as being with friends.
To some, it’s as spiritual as praying.
To some it’s as foolish as pacing.
To some, it’s as funny as smiling.
To some it’s as down to earth as crying.
To some it’s as breathtaking as revenge.
What ever it is that is your mind medicine, know it, use it, keep it and never ever lose it, because man’s mind must remain refreshed and renewed. At this juncture, permit me to ask, WHAT IS YOUR MIND MEDICINE?
You possibly might not have found it in the list, my charge to you is; DISCOVER IT, for everyman has got at least one efficient mind medicine.
The secrets to its discovery all lies in OBSERVATION. The next time your inconvinience defers medical help or clearly isn't one to be handled by medication, dig deep, search down within, trace back history lanes, and find out what you did to snap out of such funny experiences the last time it surfaced. When what you did matches what you feel like doing at that moment, its Eureka! You've found your mind medicine.
Your mind medicine could be a combination of two or more of the afore mentioned. But however your case may be, it is pertinent that I let you realise what strong cure nature has placed inside of you to tackle the most medically evasive problem; The Mind Problem.
A super therapy I quietly stated above and I guess you didn't take note of is; "the renewing of the mind"(a total overhauling) which is/can only be given by God as a result of answers to a PRAYER.
At the start of this, I thought it would be a profitless venture, but Alas! After all my roaming, I can gladly say; I found my "Mind Drops". Hope you can too?
