Autism and the Bigger Problem(s)
Before they put the subject of autism back in mothballs for another year, I am pleased to post my conversation with Kerri Rivera, who runs AutismO2 (www.autismo2.com), a non-profit clinic for autistic children in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Each year, when awareness about a particular disease is “raised” we end up thinking that we’re falling behind on resolving it, and that it is much harder to eradicate. The perception becomes the reality.
And yet, any truth to the idea of autism being an unsolved puzzle may be related more to the methods that are being used to treat it, and methods NOT used to prevent, or reduce the rate of increase, more so than an actual inability to heal.
When it comes to the causes of autism, most people doling out information speak in vague generalities.
In spite of the fact that autism cases have risen 4000% worldwide in the past 15 years, according to the Fuzz Foundation (www.fuzzfoundation.org), the condition simply “appears” with apparently no known cause.
Autism typically manifests itself between the ages of 18 months to 3 years in children who develop normally until the point that regression begins. – The Fuzz Foundation Site
In other words, autism simply shows up at one’s doorstep and says, “Honey I’m home! What’s for dinner?”
I don’t think so.
There’s plenty of evidence as to what causes the metabolic shock syndrome that we call autism. The term seems appropriate.
Autism isn’t generally associated with metabolic shock syndrome. That is related to other examples of head-in-the-sand-ism that is practiced too often in medicine these days.
You’ll notice expert head-in-the-sandinistas in the Gulf states, who want the public to act as though seafood in the Corexit treated, and oil-soaked marshlands, are safe to eat. They give the appearance of being puzzled as to why Gulf coast residents are reporting mysterious illnesses. Other “experts” opine, even from our FDA, that there’s no evidence of harm.
Will the food make you keel over on one bite?
Probably not.
Will they give you that sense of being “full” when you’re done?
Yes, but twinkies will do that too, if you eat enough, and they’re not good for you either.
But will oil and toxin marinated food from the Gulf Coast nourish you?
NO! Not in its present condition. It needs its balance restored. It need not take long, but it’s been a year, and NO effort has been made to do so.
The Feds are in a rush for you to eat Gulf seafood so that money can flow once again, so fishermen have markets to buy their fish, and life can appear to be back to normal. But will consumers be healthy with a sick Gulf of Mexico?
Not if there is still oil in the marshlands, and the ecosystem hasn’t become vibrant again.
One year later, there is oil in the marshlands, and the ecosystem is not vibrant.
What’s more, all of the methods of resolution that are being tried, are just as effective – and Neanderthal, as current cancer treatment standards. Suck up oil if you can, RAKE the marshlands, or DO NOTHING and let Mother Nature clean up BP’s mess.
None of these methods have proven effective. And yet, there are methods that will work… bioremediation, i.e., microbial cleanup, which would be safe, non-toxic, quick, and effective.
In the same way that the 4+ million barrel oil inundation followed by a 2+ million gallon Corexit chaser was a shock to the Gulf, and manifesting in a significant increase in diseases in the region, autism does appear to manifest as a shock to the body, resulting in communicative paralysis.
The neurological and behavioral disorders that characterize autism are understandable if you see them in terms of signaling. On a clear day, with no background noise, a signal transmitted, whether it is visual or verbal, has a better chance of being interpreted correctly. If it is dark and noisy, any chance of another person understanding the message is slim. The chemical onslaught that the human body is subjected to in “modern” society these days, adds noise to the inner environment, affecting communications… not only between cells, but between the cell and the DNA.
Instead of reducing the chemical “noise” that we’re exposed to, science simply tries to come up with quieter chemicals. But they’re still foreign, dead agents, messing up a living biosphere.
The experts will have you think that, if autism comes knocking, to expect it to last the rest of the lifetime.
What a sentence to place on innocent children. Children that, very often, were fine just a day, or even moments before.
Before what?
A vaccination. A “booster” shot. A “preventative” inoculation required as a condition for admission into school.
No one has ever become autistic after taking MMS. But now, some have come out of autism with the help of Jim Humble’s brew.
So ‘In It’ We Fail to See the Harm as Alien
We have so completely forgotten and dismissed the natural wonder that is the human immune system, that the idea that drugs are required to prevent diseases has been institutionalized. No longer do we question whether the chemicals that we have come to use so ubiquitously, may actually be contributing to the onset of these “mysterious” diseases.
We have come to believe that sickness is inevitable, so convinced, that resistance must be futile, if not impossible, and that immunity, without a drug kicker, a joke.
Autism isn’t alone among the disease pathologies that have been on the rise in the past generation. Alzheimer’s, Lyme, Lupus, Morgellons, Diabetes, stroke, and of course, cancer, have all been on the ascendency. But instead of looking at the potential adverse, cumulative effects that chemical use may be having on human health, we seek more and different methods of delivery, such as through genetic engineering.
“Get our pesticide in the gene of the seed, and we can corner the market,” is what I imagine some bright marketing whiz from Monsanto must have said one day. And “the rest,” as they say, “is history.”
Yet, we are oblivious to the fact that the effect that chemicals have on plants at the cellular level, will eventually and ultimately be repeated in cellular dysfunction in humans.
Antibiotic Milk! Yum!
I’m not singling Monsanto out. I visited a local dairy last week, and while touring the nursery where rows upon rows of calves were feeding, our guide proudly proclaimed that the calves are fed pasteurized antibiotic milk!
Could that be the new trend in dairy products? How “happy” do you think consumers would be to see a pasteurized, antibiotic milk in Wal-Mart’s dairy case?
The fear of disease has become endemic in our treatment strategies, to the extent that the standard treatments have often become worse than the disease itself.
When this is the case, there’s something wrong with the standard treatments.
Instead of seeing this clearly, politicians lock themselves up in debates over how to pay for the anticipated INCREASE in health care while cramming more people in a health care system that itself is on its death-bed.
Talk about social insecurity.
Last week I met a man who has a squamous cell carcinoma on his neck that, for him, MMS did not solve. Not a pretty sight. We didn’t analyze what he did, or did not do with MMS, although I do believe taking 40 drops at a time, which he said he had done, was focusing too much on one modality, and not enough on others.
He is proof, however, that taking MMS won’t kill you. But the burn that he endured from radiation treatment, might just be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Time will tell.
Radiation treatment for cancer or any disease just doesn’t make any sense, especially after reading Electrical Nutrition, by Denie and Shelley Hiestand. Tomorrow morning I will head to Las Vegas to meet, hang out with, and interview the authors of this amazing book.
Continuing on to read Denie’s autobiographical Journey to Truth, it was a Godsend for them to be so close and available.
But again, our problems are not just about radiation. It’s not just chemotherapy. It’s not just chlorination and fluoride in the water supply. It’s not just reverse osmosis, or pasteurization and homogenizing of milk.
Perhaps it’s the closure to new, clearly superior approaches that come from outside the club that sometimes rankles me. Or the active steps that respected agencies take to mislead the public with fear and disinformation when the status quo appears to be threatened.
You have to wonder, what are they afraid of?
Whatever it is, so it is. It seems that someone doesn’t want us to know who we are, and just maybe, that “someone” is us.
Thankfully, there are rays of hope, and lights that appear in the darkness. One such light is Kerri Rivera, who I began talking about quite some time ago.
The conversation that she and I had about her journey, as the mother of an autistic child, and the remarkable improvements that she and 400 families are starting to see since they began using MMS, is now online for your listening and viewing pleasure.

Notes From Outside the ‘Autism’ Box
April is Autism Awareness month in America.
What does that mean?
It means that this is the time for Americans to be “educated” on how bad Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is, how complicated the cure must be, and are encouraged to be more tacitly accepting of (1) the disorder, (2) the CURRENT explanations as to why it happens, and (3) the LOGIC behind the “approved” treatments for it.
In being so accepting, we either (1) ignore evidence that ASD may very well be the result of “Man-induced” products, policies, or practices, or (2) realize it and yet rely on treatment methods that still fall inside the boundaries of the thinking that supports them.
In other words, medical practitioners may do everything they can to “cure” autism, as long as they are within currently accepted guidelines. If not, they talk in hushed tones, if they talk at all. They treat in isolation and seclusion, if they treat at all. Even non-profit associations that have been created around autism, once they have joined forces with prestigious medical researchers to boost their stature, have succumbed to the urge to set limits on what they may officially consider viable, lest they forfeit grants and aid from potential pharmaceutical-based benefactors.
For too long this has been the Rule of Medicine, and not the exception, giving the appearance of commitment and sincerity, as long as we’re all in the same sandbox.
Some high-profile National Basketball Association (NBA) players have been enlisted to help the public be aware of autism, showing how much they care. Their motivation, however, is to establish some justification of, and relevance for the fact that they can earn several hundred thousands of dollars per week, and still act as though they’re under-paid.
As a general rule the players are encouraged to travel and dress in suits and ties, while needing to play ball only in uniforms that consist of jerseys, shorts, and sneakers. It’s all an image thing. Flatly they read any script that is placed before them, but with little in the way of heart or soul. You rarely get the feeling that any of this matters to them, except that it may be part of their contract to “give back”.
The controversy around the chlorine dioxide oxidation therapy developed by Jim Humble, referred to as MMS, that was essentially designated an “outlaw” treatment by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has been enough to keep many health care practitioners speaking hushed tones and treating in private, if at all. This is in spite of the fact that evidence suggests that autism a physiological response to what is, in effect, chemical poisoning.
While bacterial and viral infestations garner much of the interest with respect to potential causative factors that result in ASD, they tend to show up after, or in response to, a massive chemical event, where drugs designed to “boost” the immune system actually appear to create an electrical “short circuit” in the brain’s neurological pathways.
Instead of calling a moratorium on these practices, we have institutionalized them – making inoculations and vaccinations a mandatory requirement in order for young parents to get their children into public schools. We then give a medical name to the resulting neurological fallout. This is the ultimate example of spin control.
The simplest way to KNOW whether present immunological philosophy and practices are valid, are to set up a study with groups of people who are not given these drugs – even before their immune system has had a chance to mature – and see what happens. This would dramatically affect the numbers yet to see their lives needlessly dimmed by these practices. Then we can turn our attention to how to undo the damaging neurological effects that these acts of chemicalization has caused.
Unfortunately in America, “the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave” moniker that we have been proud to claim has dimmed, along with the vitality and health of its citizenry, because bureaucratic thinking is most often going to “err” on the side of the status quo, that is, until an undeniable and unstoppable change has become evident.
Kerri Rivera (www.autismo2.com) is an agent of undeniable and unstoppable change. She is a woman with heart and soul. She also knows a thing or two about ASD. Mother of an autistic child, she and her husband run a clinic that supports recovery from ASD that is located in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She has also courageously moved into an area where scientific knowledge, logic and common sense says should be explored if you’re not interested in living with ASD, but in ridding it from your life; namely, she’s using MMS.
Kerri seen great improvements in her son since adding MMS to her protocol, which she documented on her blog. As her readers and clients learned of her success, many of them decided to try MMS on their children. To date, of the 400 children currently on Kerri’s protocol, 5 have lost their ASD diagnosis altogether. In other words, they have once again become what Kerri and other clinicians refer to as neuro-typical.
While naysayers might claim that this represents only 1% of the sampling, this does not represent a completed process, and is on-going. Furthermore, for the families who have added MMS to their treatment protocols, hopeful changes are very easy to discern and associate when everything they had tried up until then had yielded no noticeable difference, and thus made things seem even more hopelessness.
Kerri recently spoke of her experiences, which she also wrote about on her blog, Autismo, at recent Autism conferences in Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
I spoke with Kerri by phone yesterday. With great energy and enthusiasm she spoke of how she learned of, and came to use MMS as part of her autism response therapy. It actually sat on a shelf for a year between her initial testing and deciding to use it on her son (she and her husband also used it).
She talked about their protocol for children, and how they have fine-tuned it to minimize the still dreaded effects of toxic release that we fondly call diarrhea, vomiting, or Herxheimer reaction. She described dramatic changes in behavior, as well as normalizations in bowel movements and stools, and some of the interesting things that have come out of these children as a result of taking those series of drops.
Yes, Kerri’s got heart and soul!
That recorded conversation will be available soon.
Sound Advice for ‘the Electrical’ You
The next must read book to put on your list just has to be Electrical Nutrition, by Denie and Shelley Hiestand. I learned about it from Wil Spencer (www.bodyelectrician.com), who caused quite a ruckus among some in the Gulf Coast after helping a number of residents gain relief from the effects BP-sponsored environmental toxicity after the historic oil spill with the help of an “Advanced Oxygen Therapy” that we know as MMS.
As the title suggests, the book looks at the human body, its function, and the disease process from an electrical context. When you look at life, health and nutrition in terms of electricity, many practices and behaviors that we have come to revere are clearly seen as contributors to chronic and degenerative diseases that now appear to insinuate themselves into our lives far too earlier and much too often.
Some examples:
- Chlorinating water – a practice that is banned in Switzerland, and revered here.
- Use of unfermented soy products, which contain “anti-nutrients” and toxins that interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals. 72 million acres of farmland is now devoted to soy.
- Vegetarianism – “All the earliest humans were hunters who also gathered fruit, berries, and small amounts of seeds (grain) to store for times of food shortage. It is simply untrue to suggest that the human intestinal tract cannot safely digest animal protein.”
- Grain-centric diets – by following a high carbohydrate diet, we set ourselves up for serious degenerative disorders, such as chronic obesity, adult-onset diabetes, joint degeneration, and much more. Why? Because grains do not rot.
- Immunizations – described as “an electrical bombardment that devastates the ability of the body to control its microorganism population naturally. They contain nonhuman antigens cultured from pig or horse blood, rabbit brain tissue, dog and monkey tissue, that cause electrical chaos in the body. Other chemical additives include:
- Formaldehyde
- Themerosal
- Aluminum potassium sulfate
- Aluminum phosphate
- Lactalbumin hydrolysate
- Phenol (carbolic acid)
- Acetone
- Glycerine
- Recreational Drug Use – ecstasy, hash, heroin, LSD, among others, cause chronic circuitry damage in the human electrical body.
- Chemotherapy – The effects of chemotherapy on the electrical system are likened to napalm bombs detonated in a forest.
- Disharmonious Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) – anything that “jams” the exchange of information between cells will eventually provoke illness. The list is long.
- Radio
- Radar
- Microwaves
- Cell phones
- X-rays
- CT scans
- Ultrasound
- Aspartame – Methanol becomes formaldehyde beyond 86° F. The FDA documented 92 symptoms, which the authors call electrical malfunctions) associated with aspartame.
- Electrically traumatic birth practices – standard hospital-based birthing practices have made the doctor’s ease more important than that of mothers and newborns, all with traumatic and electrically damaging consequences that can lead to degenerative diseases decades later.
- Radiation, therapeutic or otherwise — The big fear over radiation poisoning from Japan is almost laughable when you see how many millions of Americans and patients of Western medicine willingly submit themselves to, and die from radiation treatment each year. I dare say there’s an electrical problem with radiation — which fortunately can be fixed, as can all of these if we learn to look at, and respond to them differently
As the body is an electrical being, every aspect of every function is an electrical transmission, an electrical communication. To compromise any of these electrical communications causes disease. – Electrical Nutrition
Everything is electrical, because everything is energy. Every metabolic process is driven by electrical energy. Yet, the authors spell out many ways that we interrupt, disrupt, or otherwise compromise the flow of said energy through the human body, which eventually manifests as what we call disease.
The madness continues when, after electrical compromise has become physical dysfunction or infirmity, modern medical practices that rely on symptom-targeted prescriptions step in to further compromise electrical functionality. When the symptom goes away, a success is claimed, but the problem – the electrical dysfunction – remains.
This is just a short list of factors that compromise electrical conductivity, not to mention mental and emotional imbalance and the recursive entanglements they can bring.
With all that, it’s a wonder we’re healthy at all. But then, this has been going on so long, it’s possible that we don’t know what true health actually is.
Conscious Imagining for a Changing World
If the first three months of 2011 are any indication of what the rest of the year holds, then I think it would be a gross understatement to suggest that it’s going to be quite a ride.
What that statement means to you reveals a lot about where you’re putting yourself in the matrix of potential outcomes.
A large proportion of the population fears that the current chain of events represents the beginning of the end of the world. But that’s not the only possible interpretation. We all agree that change is occurring right now. The vast majority of us would likely agree that change is needed. So if we can agree on those two points, the events that are unfolding is simply how the beginning of what lies ahead looks right now. Everything else that unfolds is potential. It can be heart breaking, or heart warming, a nightmare, or the realization of our most wonderful dreams.
I see this time as a one of great opportunity to learn more about who we are, our spiritual/energetic nature, and what that means, and to imagine new and different outcomes that involve qualities best described in words other than “doom” and “gloom.” Imagination is the unacknowledged power that rests within every human being, used most often unconsciously, or stimulated through fear, limitation, and dread. We’ve grown accustomed to dismissing or discounting this great ability, thinking that the creative experiential process couldn’t be that simple. In other words, it seems unlikely that imagination/visualization plus belief could coalesce into experience.
I ask you to consider while you are reading these thoughts, that it is that simple. Consider that we don’t have to convince anyone else to change in order to change the world. We only have to change ourselves. The motive force behind all harmonic change, is being moved by, through, and in love. It may sound hokey, but it’s true.
If you’re sick, imagine what your life would look and feel like after you healed. Believe it. Love it. Be grateful. Rejoice. If you’re concerned about radiation, imagine what your life would look and feel like as your immune system is protecting you. Believe it. Love it. Be grateful. Rejoice. It doesn’t matter what the problem is. Imagine what your life would look and feel like with the problem solved. Believe it, love it, be grateful and rejoice.
This doesn’t mean we won’t have new challenges (which themselves are opportunities), but let’s get some of the old, clearly outdated ones, off the table.
Guided into Fearful Imaginings
Through education, medicine, science, the media, and many other avenues, we are being guided to imagine far more ignominious outcomes for the planet Earth and humanity, and led to believe that they represent the only possible future. We’ve grown accustomed to fearing the doom and dreading the gloom.
There’s no need to be afraid, but if you are, an option is available. Inquire Within.
Many well-meaning experts are firing off instructions to their email lists, to help their audience best cope with the changing tide… doling out advice on how to survive the anticipated calamity. However, survival mode sets the quality of life index quite low.
This lies at the heart of old school, dualistic, linear thinking. It is “Good Guy/Bad Guy 101,” played out on a grand stage. So “convinced” are we that our methods represent the most advanced possible, we panic when the limitations of our current orthodoxies become self-evident.
Pick your apocalypse.
We’ve grown accustomed to watching and rationalizing millions of deaths each year as a result of pharmacology-centered medical treatment schemes. The public is placated by stories of the valiant fight that individuals are waging against the “menace.” Fundraising campaigns suggest we’re getting closer to finding “the cure,” and you can do your part by helping the organizers reach their fundraising goals. Each year over $100 billion are raised, and people keep on dying from the same diseases. Readily available healing methods, which might be called cures, go unpracticed, which health insurance companies would refuse payment.
Do YOU want more of this?
If you don’t, then celebrate the changes that are happening, and imagine how you’d like your new world to be, and know that you won’t be alone.
This is One ‘Cloud’ We Can Do Without
Take the nuclear radiation problem that now troubles so many people around the world. Suppose there was/is an easy fix it? What if it could be achieved through a simple matter of transmutation where, under the proper circumstances and conditions, the toxic elements could, in effect, be “turned off?”
This is not a far-fetched idea. The key could be through the auspices of biological transmutation, a subject that was studied by Louis Kervran (1901-1983), an expert in radiation poisoning.
In The Secret Life of Plants, by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird write about Kervran’s work:
All of this further suggests that in living nature there exists, below the level of Lavoisier’s classical molecular chemistry, a deeper level of nuclear chemistry which associates and dissociates nucleons, the components of atomic nuclei.
Science et Vie has postulated that if plasma-type nuclear reactions take place in bombs, in nuclear reactors and in stars, then there must be a wholly different type of reaction, specifically utilized by life, which brings about fusion in a strangely quiet way. The magazine suggests the analogy of a strongbox which can be opened by dynamite or by a combination lock. Like the lock, the atomic nucleus can prove stubborn when confronted with blind violence but pliable to a skillful manipulation.
This raises the question of whether Dr. Wilhelm Reich was not on track of the discovery of the century when he purported that he had observed at the microscopic energetic visicles or “bions” which are not alive but “carry biological energy.” Exposed to sufficiently high temperatures and made to swell, all matter, even sand, undergoes viscicular disintegration, wrote Reich, and the resulting visicles can later develop into bacteria.
What that means to me is that life is indestructible. The disintegration can be described by such terms as chaos and anarchy. Yet, they are precursors to a reorganization and re-forming of life, and a coalescing into new, improved forms.
While there may be a number of ways to mitigate the effects of radiation, including products such as bentonite clay, iodine, and even MMS, wouldn’t it be better to simply turn off the radioactive clouds?
While I believe it can be done, you have to wonder how many people would scoff at the idea if “pundits” hadn’t already given their stamp of approval.
After seeing how ardently some people are intent on debunking MMS, trying to convince anyone not already familiar with the product that it is dangerous bleach, how open are we to even imagining solutions to human problems if they haven’t come from “approved” channels.
MMS use has been criticized by some apparently naturopathic “experts” who dismissed positive testimonies freely given by many thousands of people. Like their allopathic counterparts, the many stories of success that poured onto the internet after Jim Humble wrote his book, were treated as “anecdotal,” while the erstwhile experts continued to scoff at its use.
Criticism or not, MMS has shown itself to be effective in many areas where satisfactory pharmacological substitutes do not currently exist. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a.k.a. MRSA, the leading cause of hospital-acquired infections which claims over 18,000 lives each year (and rising), is one example.
Yet, for all the claims that MMS is a dangerous bleach, there has not been one death attributed, since its introduction, to its intake, whether used therapeutically as recommended, or even by inadvertent overdose.
Make no mistake, chlorine dioxide is not something you take lightly. It should be used with careful consideration, but without fear. Contrary to what the FDA has suggested in its 2010 warning on MMS, it should be used. We should understand the “when” and “how” to apply it best. This is research that Jim Humble has continued to advance.
In 2011 we have seen the collective Calamity Bar ascend to unprecedented levels, and there is reason to believe that Mother Earth is not done. In part because we, her children, still have some waking up to do.
“Wake up to what”… You ask?
For one, that neither “science” in its current form, nor scientists who consider The Scientific Method to be sacrosanct, have all the answers. And yet, they act as though they do. BP’s scientists and management sure acted that way in the Gulf oil spill of 2010, and we are seeing the pattern repeat itself in the wake of the 2011 earthquake in Japan.
A New Respect for Energy
Radiation is energy, and therefore, has a distinct vibrational frequency. If it has a frequency… of shall I say, if it is a frequency, then it has its own color (light) and audio tone. It may be possible to produce an audible (or inaudible) frequency that safely inactivates radioactive isotopes in the same way that chlorine dioxide inactivates pathogens.
Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971) isolated the frequency of a microorganism that was consistently present in cancer, which he inactivated through the application of a complementary (cancelling) frequency. Patients went into Rife clinics in Los Angeles and San Diego with cancer, and walked out cancer free… in 1931! The Rife device represented one of the first vibrational or therapeutic energy devices to be suppressed by the AMA, and the still nascent FDA, which officially bans the use of this non-invasive technology as a medical device to this day.
An opportunity to imagine a different scenario is at hand.
We have been practicing “checkbook science” for quite some time, long before Louis Pasteur deduced that microorganisms, or “germs” were bad things that could and should be killed off by chemicals. In this thinking we have remained oblivious to the environments, including energetic states, in which certain microorganisms grow. We have neither taught our children, nor ourselves to be aware of, or respect energy. Children who retain their innate sensitivity to, and awareness of energy tend to be “persuaded” to shut it down, or keep it to themselves.
We generally can’t see an energetic state, but we are always in one. That is, because we are one. As such, they tend to follow us wherever we go. They (we) have the ability to bring certain experiences and behaviors into our sphere while keeping others away. The tipping factor?
Us.
Making someone or something else the “bad guy” has played its course for many of us. If you listen to “experts,” they’ll tell you who and what to think of as “bad” today, although it may change tomorrow. Taking no time to do any research on their own, or even engage in creative and courageous imagining, they look to what other “experts” have opined, even if it means resolving ourselves to many years (or lifetimes) of suffering.
I don’t believe that any suffering is necessary and virtually all suffering from chronic and degenerative diseases can be mitigated; and health restored, IF it is truly desired. Not everyone who is chronically ill wants to be well again, but we have to assume that those who are sick, but say that they want to be well again and are willing to take the sometimes lonely journey, are sincere.
The business of degenerative and chronic disease is a sorry game that’s only fun for a very small few, if the word “fun” even applies. It is big business, very BIG. IF it is going to change – that is, if more people are going to become healthy, then they are going to need to be willing to have more, and be more fun. We’re often ready to be serious at the drop of a hat (or news release); having reasons to be heavy, instead of light. And yet, this is where limitation and fear predominates.
The answers that we seek that will resolve the personal, or social challenges of our times, are available to those who have the eyes to see, and the ears to hear. More importantly, to those who have the heart and wisdom to care for the whole, for Mother Earth, and humanity, Her Children, even those who don’t care for us, even over money itself.
The Money Factor
Our belief that money is the key to the solution of every problem, as well as the way to prevent solutions from being known, is part of why we are where we are. It is time to wake up to this fallacy. The “Golden Ring” that one human would think is so valuable, so as to step on, or over others in order to reach, would be fool’s gold. There is no real value in any “success” where the human heart has not been one’s guide.
On the other hand, there are legions among us who believe that their life is somehow “deprived” if they don’t have the latest this or that. They strive to “keep up with the Jones’” (who they may not even like), at the expense of their own happiness.
We are stressing ourselves out over meaningless distractions and pursuits, while meaningful discoveries and truths – about ourselves – go unexamined, and therefore, remain unembraced.
Money has been the goal of many, and the downfall of many more. It is neither a doorway to happiness nor power. Whatever one’s station in life, both happiness and power are abundantly available, if we liberate ourselves from unquestioned, self-limiting beliefs.
One place to begin this redefinition is by being willing to take a kind, loving, and benevolent look at ourselves and others (even if they don’t take us kindly), as well as the future, and don’t be surprised if it turns out just as we imagined.
