In last Friday’s blog post Ask Grand Master Lu: Spirituality, we spoke about what it means to be on a spiritual path and how that relates to health and healing. We also discussed three main spiritual concepts for improving metabolism function and overall health. They are:

1. The energetic frequency of the unconditional love of the Universe, or God, gives our world and all living things vitality and creativity.
2. Ultimately, there is only Oneness.
3. There are no accidents. Everything happens for a reason.

Throughout this week, we will unpack each of these concepts.

The Unconditional Love of the Universe

Modern science tells us everything is interrelated or connected, but what are we connected to? Everything visible and invisible in our reality is connected to the profound energetic frequency of the unconditional love of the Universe. In our daily lives, we use the word “love” in many different ways to mean different things. When we talk about the vibration of love in relationship to the Universe, naturally we are not talking about human or romantic love. The quality of this love is beyond comprehension, but it does not mean we can’t feel or experience it.

Love carries the Universe’s promise. The energetic frequency of love gives Life its creativity and vitality. Life itself is based on energy and unconditional love. Through Qi, it carries the dynamic motion and
message of the love of the Universe. This love is not just for human beings; it’s for all living forms on Earth, as well as Earth itself. It is this immense energetic vibration that springs from the source of the Universe and keeps everything alive.

Without love, there is no life. Nature could not grow; we would not exist. Since we are one of Earth’s entities, we are connected to this Universal energy. We are a microcosm of the whole. The earth itself is alive; it exists as a small drop of water in the vast ocean of the cosmos. Each of us is a child of Mother Earth, just as the earth is a child of the solar system, and the solar system is part of the galaxy, which
in turn is part of the whole Universe. Every aspect of these relationships is governed by the energy of love. I tell my patients, “In a very real way, you are a child of the Universe. You are a ‘love child.’ You are unique and have purpose—a promise you need to fulfill, here in this reality.”

The Power of the Mind

The mind is powerful and often wants to control everything. Sometimes, it’s difficult for the mind to accept spiritual information. But, there is another part of us that does know this truth very well. Each of us enters third-dimensional reality with the knowledge of our connection to this love the Universe has for each of us. It is downloaded with us at birth. Our cells, our DNA, genes and atoms all understand their functions are based on love.

How is it these minute parts of us understand such an enormous concept? Love carries the vibration or message of the Universe’s promise to every living thing on this planet: “As long as you are connected to the energetic frequency of love, the source, you will always receive one hundred percent support. If your desire is to reach out and grow, then you will be supported.” This source doesn’t discriminate. It pours out its love continually to every living thing. Its promise is that it will support us always. It doesn’t base its love on gender or race, on age or sexual orientation, or any other factors. It doesn’t say because you are beautiful, I will give you ninety percent of my sunlight. Or, because you are a criminal, you only deserve ten percent. It showers everyone with the same amount of warmth unconditionally.

Life Has Compassion

From the spiritual perspective, we are always loved. As long as we are willing to meet the requirements for growth, we will always be supported. Love is unlimited and has unlimited power, just for you. If we
can truly see this angle and fully cooperate with it, miracles can happen. Remember, miracles never come from the mind.

The energetic vibration of love doesn’t depend on another person for its existence. You can’t buy it at a shopping mall. You have to recognize at the physical level, your cells, your DNA, your genes, already have this wisdom and ability. How can you access it? The material matter of genes is not just a code for living today. Within your genes, you have a gift. You have received thousands of years’ worth of information. Inside, you contain these messages of the love, cooperation and acceptance of the Universe. Otherwise, your bloodline would already be disconnected from this reality. These material structures carry the information for untold years of your ancestors’ knowledge, wisdom and skill.

We can use the body–mind–spirit concept to connect to the spiritual level to touch the deep love of the Universe. When you have this love, you will have everything. Then, everything within you will function with cooperation and love. You will be able to connect to the unlimited love and power of the Universe.

You are an energy being that contains love. If you don’t love yourself, how can you heal yourself? If you don’t love yourself, how can you truly love another person? This kind of unconditional love has to be discovered from the inside out. Once you discover this truth, once you embrace this belief, all the interrelated aspects of your body and life will change.

Relationship to Metabolism Function

Even at the spiritual level of metabolism function, we can apply the relativistic framework of modern science. When your relationships change at the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, you will change the angles that you see things from in your life. You will see things differently. When you change yourself, you can look at the outside world through the eyes of love. And, when you change, everything connected with you has to change as well. Why? Because everything in the energy field is interrelated!
Even one tiny change causes everything connected to it to shift.

At the body level, whichever organ you have a problem with, whatever food you are allergic to, whatever emotional barriers you cannot break through, if you change your framework and change your angle to see things with love, compassion and acceptance, the emotional and physical levels will also change
and help you resolve the root cause of your condition.
