Psychiatry: The Lost Art of Soul Healing
The word psychiatry originates from the Greek psyche (soul) and iatreia (healing), meaning “the medical art of healing the soul.” Yet, modern psychiatry has drifted far from this purpose. Instead of healing the soul, it often numbs, suppresses, and medicates the very signals calling us back to wholeness.
What was meant to restore connection to our true nature has become an industry that deepens the illusion of disconnection, reducing profound soul experiences to chemical imbalances and disorders.
But what if we have it all wrong?
What if depression, anxiety, and dissociation aren’t disorders at all, but sacred messages—signposts urging us to turn inward, to remember, and to return Home?
The Mother of All Illness: Homesickness
Mental illness, in its essence, is nothing more than homesickness—a deep, aching sense of separation from Home.
But here’s the paradox: we can never actually be disconnected from Home.
Home is not a place; it is our Inner Peace, the presence of unconditional Love, the infinite stillness of the Soul. Yet, through our thoughts, beliefs, societal conditioning, and trauma programming, we create the illusion of separation. And this illusion is what makes us sick. Not the soul, but the ego-mind.
The Soul Doesn’t Cry for Help—It Waits
Unlike the mind, the Soul does not suffer. It is infinite, patient, and unconditionally loving.
It does not cry for help because it has never been harmed.
It simply waits—like a beacon of light—for us to return when we are ready.
It is not the Soul that is wounded. It is the Ego that perceives the wound.
From the moment of birth, we expect to be met with unconditional love—because that is the state we came from.
But as we grow, we encounter a world where love appears conditional.
Around the ages of 4, 5, and 6, we realize that love must be earned through behavior, achievement, and approval. By the time we reach adolescence, we have internalized fear as our primary compass, shaping our identity around survival strategies rather than authentic self-expression.
This is how we slowly abandon the Soul and adopt the fear-driven ego-mind—worshipping external validation, careers, relationships, material wealth, and achievements desperately attempting to fill the void. But nothing ever satisfies, because what we truly seek cannot be found outside.
The Soul’s message becomes louder—through anxiety, depression, burnout, or dissociation—until we are forced to turn inward.
The Ego’s Greatest Deception: The Betrayal Lie
One of the most insidious tricks of the Ego is convincing us that Soul has abandoned us—that our suffering is proof that we have been betrayed, rejected, or forgotten by the very Love we long for.
But the truth is the exact opposite: we are the ones who abandoned the Soul.
Not out of malice, but out of fear.
Society tells us that intuition, trust, faith, and inner knowing are unreliable—that we must rely on logic, external authority, and tangible proof.
The Sacred Five—Trust, Confidence, Belief, Faith, and Patience—become intangible concepts, dismissed by the mind as unsafe because they cannot be controlled.
And so, we resign ourselves to the fear-based adulthood of modern society, unknowingly deepening our homesickness.
But eventually, the call of Home becomes undeniable.
And we have a choice: continue numbing, suppressing, and distracting—or finally answer the call.
Suffering: Just Another Form of Love
What if suffering is not the enemy, but a guide?
What if depression is not a disorder, but an initiation?
What if anxiety is not a malfunction, but an invitation to trust?
What if dissociation is not a symptom, but a temporary refuge until we are ready to return?
Suffering is not proof of our failure. It is proof of Love’s persistence.
It is not a punishment—it is an invitation. A message. A form of Love designed to awaken us from the illusion of separation and bring us back Home.
The Dream of Human Life: Waking Up to the Truth
Perhaps life itself is the dream.
And death? That’s waking up.
When we take our last breath, we might sigh in relief, realizing: It was just a dream… and I was always Home.
So the real question is: why wait until death to wake up?
Why not return Home now?
The Soul is not lost. You are not lost.
The only thing standing in the way is the belief that you are. And that belief?
It’s just a thought—one that can be released, the moment you are ready to remember.
Because Love never left. It never could. You are Love.
And Home was never far away.
