Natural Living

I'm going to try and lay out what I have been developing for my "Natural Religion." 

I believe the world is designed for us, and is full of symbolism to guide and teach us.  The physical world is a reflection of the spiritual world.  Thoughts can and do change things in the physical realm.  Our own body is the most direct connection we have to understanding the physical world.  By learning to interpret physical elements one can be lead to understand spiritual meanings.  More simply, physical reflects spirit, so understanding physical can be understanding spiritual.  There are other ways to understand things of the spirit, but I feel drawn to this understanding. 

The main way I see to understanding the physical realm on a spiritual level is to learn to understand my own body.  My body will tell me everything it needs.  It will tell me when I am lacking a certain nutrient, if I need sunlight, if I need sleep, if I need excercise, what type of excercise etc.  The tricky part about understanding the body is that it can give two different types of signals, it might say for example "I want candy" and at the same time it will say "I'm feeling sick and it would be better if you fasted to give me time to recover."  Learning to understand what signal is a need and what is a want is where the understanding will come from.  In order to do that it is necessary to do my best to live healthy and follow the feelings I get from my body.  I'm not a fan of pain medicatio because it numbs the body and turns off the signal.  I want to study natural remedies that allow my body to stay in full communication with me. 

This all seems vague as I try and write it down, so i'll try and solidify it a little bit more for another post.
