After carefully reading through this thread I think I have figured out what you all are saying. I have come to the conclusion (for me) that it might be like a figure 8 loop. No matter where you start (as I think we are all on different paths) it will eventually lead in a natural progression to the next phase. If one starts on physical, for example, and begins to see some lifting of symptoms, the mind/thinking improves, leading to a lifting of the spiritual.
What is really important is that we START somewhere.
I truly believe in the philosophy that we need to have opposition in all things, so that we may learn and progress. I know that my issues (adversity) have been a gift to me, for I never would have found this forum and been exposed to ideas "outside of the box" so to speak to improve my health. I knew with all my soul I could not just hand my future over to medical doctors, prescriptions, etc.
