Have you encountered the Advaita Vedanta movement? Are you aware that, in their eyes, the real you is shapeless and formless? Further, in their eyes, the chief cause of all suffering is the thought: "I am this body."
In other words, these people are firmly convinced that they are the movie screen and it really doesnt matter what happens on it.
Further, in this interview with Stephanie South - she clearly is in favor of eliminating poverty, sickness, etc. But the pure awareness crowd would say that she is identified with a fictional world with fictional dream characters.
Now, I certainly dont want any strife, and it's easy for me to compare/contrast the two views. But I am curious about those who try to CONTROL and CREATE versus those who are into PURE BEING and PURE AWARENESS.
What universal religion can there be with such widely varying viewpoints?

It doesn't matter.
I'm not sure what doesnt matter, but I think I see the problem with the Pure Awareness Crowd. We read in CHC IV that Number precedes Consciousness. So there is order (and health) available in the Synchronic Order which creates the 3rd dimension.
So illness is similar to the Gregorian calendar. The dis-ease that calendar programs into the mind leads to a mind which creates a dis-eased body.
