The nature of sickness

I sat on a centuries old root outside of the house in Sant Joan Mallorca, while my mentor Thomas Hertlein carved another root to make it into a piece of furniture for his house.

He is known as the human decoder – someone who has the ability to understand expressions of life and decode them. Some of the expressions he is able to decode are diseases – like my melanoma. We had been working on it for months by then. I had gone into big processes with myself. Some of the worlds we had opened I got lost in. I kept wanting someone to take over. I kept wanting someone to tell me what is right and what is wrong. It was so hard for me to stand for something I felt. I didn’t know what I really felt – what I really wanted.

- Look, he said, and pointed to a colony of worms that appeared inside the tree trunk. I see myself as the intruder that comes and destroys their world. They are not doing anything wrong – but as I change the so-called momentary destiny of this tree trunk they are not needed here anymore. I don’t want worms inside my house.

- This is just like cancer or any other sickness of the body – it’s not doing anything wrong inside the body, just following the momentary destiny. Imagine you stop using the capacity of your lungs and the body says: okay we don’t need that as it is anymore. So it is like this tree trunk allowed to start decomposing itself.

I listened to him and pieces started to come together about skin cancer. What I called healing was changing the momentary destiny of the body. Or something like changing the momentum of the body.

Need to control something?

How many of us feels an urge to control our life, surroundings, people around? What if we bring this need to another level and live it there? How would that change your life, relationships, work?

"The most beautiful moment is when we hold back the horse with his fear to run (dressure). This is culture; confrontating the horse with the fear. It is like with food. If we eat cultured we show that we control our system and that we are far from surviving. This is quality. Power – but not out of control.” – Thomas Hertlein

What do you share?

“For a long time I talked a lot, to socialize, to be good to people, to be friendly…

I like life, I like sharing, but then I asked myself: Is this really what I want to share? Is what I am saying really something that is connected with what I am saying?

Then I heard about a sentence that said: 'If my silence is as powerful as my words, I am going to talk.' I translated that into another part and asked myself: Is my silence filled more with myself and my feelings than my words? I definitely had to say “yes”.

So I started to take more time in my silence and I watched my words… I asked myself if my words have feelings and if they have something intimate, something personal in them. I asked myself if my words have something personal in them that is worth to be shared. Is this really something I want to share? Is this really what I want to give? So I changed my way of talking because I wanted my words to be full – to be full of me." TH

Why translate?

“In our lives we have different levels that are interconnected. If you are aware of the levels, you can shift the levels to understand your problem until you find one where it fits. Then you understand: You can find a discrepancy, a conflict on one level - put it on another level, and you can solve it there.

This is why we use body, emotional, spiritual levels, to be able to put our challenge, to put our task, to put our problem on a level, where it serves us, where we can enjoy it, when on another level you get stuck with it. When you get stuck on one level, put it on another, and perhaps you can find some inspiration, some puzzle pieces, some answers, to get your problem clear.

Instead of destroying your family or destroying your company, you could destroy something in your body that you don’t like, you could consciously destroy something you don’t want.” TH

“Maybe life is not only about surviving.
Life is not only about living a good life.
Maybe you live to make experiences, to learn different languages.
If so – you should never waste any possibility to learn a language.”

Stucked?

Sometimes it happens in life that nothing happens. Nothing you try to do seems successful, you feel defeated, frustrated and tired repeating the same things over and over again. Whatever you try to deal with your colleagues, partner, children, co-workers, employees, seems to get done; your ideas don’t carry into action, nothing is really moving.

The Human Decoder teaches, that whatever we have outside, we have also inside of us. It is a question of translating this information from one level to another. This way we can find new approaches to different kind of situations in life, whether in your work life, relationships or your body. How about this decoding of the Human Decoder?

“I have people around me, employees, who don’t move. I am not satisfied with them. But I don’t know if I can fire them because I don’t know what they really do. And if I ask them, they don’t explain it to me.

If I look around, I see that I stop my action. I work with people who don’t use my enthusiasm to move, but they take my enthusiasm and sit on it. It is not translated, there is no action going through. So I wonder, why I still have these people around? And if I change that, how to do it, how to clean the situation?

It might be because I am dealing with the topics of my liver. Liver for me is connected with activity, a lot of movement, starting from the ideas which will be translated into action.

So for me this situation indicates to work on my liver and really to clean it – to
clean the gall bladder, which will help me to digest. I will first have to take the step to clarity, to more tranquility and to space so that the toxins that get collected from the liver – and from there going back into my system – can get eliminated.

So for me it is interesting to start sorting out the situation with my kidneys. This way they can eliminate what might be stuck, which in the outside could be seen as the clarity on what decision to take, what is useless work; what doesn’t make much sense in this moment.

To be able to decide, to be able to put limits I need to gain enough space to have this clarity. To be able to feel and then to be able to choose the action that makes sense.” T.H.
