Reframing Disease: A Conscious Creator’s Perspective

“Disease” or “Dis-ease”?

I’ve always found the English word for disease insightful. Unlike the Dutch word ziekte, which implies something is wrong or broken, the English dis-ease literally points to a lack of ease — a form of discomfort. That simple linguistic difference opens the door to a completely new way of looking at what we call “illness.”

This article explores that different view. One where you, as a conscious creator, are invited to reframe the way you experience physical or mental symptoms — not as problems to fix, but as messages to decode.

My View as a Former Medical Doctor

I was a general practitioner for ten years. Looking back, I understand now why it was only a short period. I never felt comfortable with the medical way of dissecting health into fragments and treating them as separate issues. That reductionist view never resonated with me. I’ve always seen the whole picture — the body, the mind, the soul, the environment, the beliefs.

That’s why I left traditional medicine and now work as a teacher of conscious creation. But my desire to help people heal has never changed. I still feel like a doctor — but in the original sense of the word: someone who supports healing by helping people become whole again.

The Power of Choice in Difficult Situations

So how do you, as a conscious creator, deal with illness or other forms of discomfort like financial stress or social conflict?

The answer is: consciously.

These experiences are not mistakes. They are part of a larger whole — your personal journey, your growth, your becoming. Within that whole, you always have a choice. You can label the situation from fear or awareness. You can respond as a victim or as a creator.

When you shift your label from illness to dis-ease, you start seeing meaning where before there was only frustration. You move from “I am sick and I don’t want this” to “there is dis-ease in my system, and it may hold important information for me.”

Is There a Reason for Your Disease?

Yes. And no, it’s not because you did something wrong. Disease is not a punishment, nor a sign of failure. It is an indicator that something is out of alignment, not resonating with who you truly are. That’s why the real healing begins with resonance: learning to align with your authentic self again.

In this light, disease becomes an invitation, to pause, to reflect, to re-center.

Step One: Acceptance

One of my brothers passed away at a too young age. I believe he struggled to accept his illness. What do I mean by that? He created a separation between “himself” and “the illness.” There was him, and there was the disease, as if they were two different entities.

But when you’re fighting against your own experience, healing becomes almost impossible. That’s why one of the first steps in conscious creation is to accept what is. To stop fighting the disease and instead see it as part of you.

Not as your identity, but as something meaningful, something that belongs.

How You Label Your Experience Shapes Your Reality

Labeling is not just semantics. It’s a powerful act of creation. The way you define your experience determines how you live it.

Medical labels, while useful in diagnosis, can often feel cold, disempowering, and separate you from your own experience. As a former doctor, I’ve seen this firsthand. When the doctor defines your reality, you hand over meaning — and with it, your power.

If a medical label helps you, by all means, use it. But if it doesn’t, find one that fits you. You’re allowed to re-label your experience in a way that empowers you. That’s not denial — that’s conscious authorship.

What Is the Purpose of Symptoms?

Here’s a fundamental question: Are your symptoms here to point toward a disease, or to point toward growth?

My belief is clear: symptoms are signals. They invite you to explore, to feel, to investigate where you are out of resonance. They are not just signs for the doctor to interpret. They are invitations for you to explore your beliefs, your alignment, your truth.

That’s why a conscious creator doesn’t reject symptoms, but listens to them. Because they often carry a whisper of wisdom from your deeper self.

A Conscious Creator’s Question

As a conscious creator, you understand that you are shaping your reality. That includes everything — even your symptoms. The question then becomes:

What might these symptoms mean? How could they be serving me?
Not in a moral sense, but in an energetic, evolutionary sense. What are they trying to tell me?

That’s not a question to be answered quickly. But it is one that holds transformative power.

A Gentle Closing Invitation

Please don’t take this article as a truth to follow. Take it as an invitation. If you’re reading this, perhaps there’s a reason. Perhaps your deeper self drew you to these words.

Don’t believe anything blindly. However, also don’t discard anything too quickly.
Explore how this perspective lands in you. Feel what resonates. Leave the rest.

Because ultimately, no conscious creator will ever tell you what to do.
They offer perspectives and invite you to listen to your own truth.
