When we have an illness, the illness is not the problem. You are the problem. Here's an explanation of how the above is true and comes about. The following insights come from various sources of information, mostly from authors E. Tolle, The Power of Now, B. Marciniak,
Bringing in the Dawn, L. L. Hay, You Can Heal Your Body, Dr. H. Hendrix and Bioenergetics. Each of these many bodies have an energy flow to them. Each body has energy flowing through them. The energy is powered through the body by chakras, or energy centres. These chakras are similar to power stations, forwarding the energy for the different systems to function effectively. To summarize and simplify the following, requires using earth terms and concepts that cannot possibly explain spiritual concepts, because there are no `similar' models that we can relate to on earth. There are seven major chakras and many minor ones within each body and five outside of the body. In this way we connect to the solar system, galaxy and the universe. In my opinion, one of the chakra outside the body (12th - universe?) connect to the Cosmic Lattice energy flow. This energy flow is connected to our body, by our universe chakra, that flows this energy from the universe, through our body. It enters through the crown of our heads and exits through our feet. A blockage is an interruption in the energy flow, like a road block and detour. This blocked energy can be felt as a hot spot in the body, along a meridian, or energy flow. If the flow of universal energy gets blocked in some way, it eventually shows up as a disease in the body. A blockage begins at the spiritual level. If not acknowledged and rectified, it will move into the mental body, manifesting in our thoughts. If left uncorrected, it will affect the emotional body, manifesting in our feelings and eventually shows up at the physical level as disease. Continually repeated negative thought patterns cause this energy to be diverted into various parts of the physical body and show up as a illness in an organ, blood system, immune system, etc. The constant negative thought pattern and resulting blockage, determines the type of disease. Blockages are caused by constant negative thought processes, some of which start in our childhood. L.L.Hay in her book You Can Heal Your Life writes - what is important in this moment is what you're choosing to think and believe and say right now. Our dis-ease is the effect of our inner thoughts. In other words the dis-ease or ill-ness is a symptom, not the cause. Her book indicates the thought behind the dis-ease, and a new corrective thought, suggested for you to choose. WHAT I BELIEVE! These inner thoughts if not loving but are very negative, eat away though your outer bodies. It is felt as a whisper that develops into loud shouting that after multiple decades, even life times and shows up as an dis-ease in your physical body that shouts loudly for your attention. Simply put - thought creates dis-ease! OTHER RAMBLINGS ......... If/when a male strikes his thumb with a hammer, or if/when a woman gives birth, or if/when a person suffers a painful life ending experience, the mind is forced to engage the Now moment, as a survival technique.Time is a non factor in the Now. …….. Thoughts attract similar thoughts, which lead to actions, which lead to events. It’s the law of attraction at work. …….. As we strive to survive in this ego based outer world, don’t forget the inner world. Conscious breathing can stop the busy mind temporarily. Please consider a morning. meditation, or a few minutes after lunch in a quiet place, or a before supper meditation. …….. I explored the ’big’ questions noted above, before being comfortable with ’not knowing’. …….. A healthy person can only be developed after dealing with the integrative approaches of body, mind, spirit. …….. Dis-ease was part of the life plan designed in the spirit world as a free will opportunity designed for a human’s spiritual growth. It is part of a free will learning experience, if you choose to not act on it earlier in life. …….. What all religions, or spiritual practices have in common is an inner stillness that binds us all as One. An ego based negative defensive posture is not helpful, as one path is not better than another path, it is just another path. Let us all be together in this stillness without judgement of others. ........ Here is a great way to evaluate your journey by how you answer this question - are you a spirit in an human body having a spiritual journey, or a human body having a spiritual journey, or other?It’s the timing of your choice. Over to you! A BRIEF HISTORY OF YOUR LIFE By Eckhart Tolle pg 282-3 from
the book, A New Earth - These two movements, the outgoing and the return, are also related in each persons life cycle. Out of nowhere, so to speak, you suddenly appear in the world. Birth is followed by expansion. This is not only physical growth but also growth of knowledge, activities, possessions, experiences. Your sphere of influence expands and life becomes increasingly complex. This is the time you are mainly concerned with finding or pursuing your outer purpose. Usually there is a corresponding growth of the ego, which is identification with all of the above things, and so your form identity becomes more and more defined. This is also the time when outer purpose - growth - tends to be usurped by the ego., which unlike nature does not know when to stop in its pursuit of expansion and has a voracious appetite for more. And just when you thought you made it or that you belong here, the return movement begins. Perhaps people close to you, begin to die, people who were part of your world. Then your physical form weakens, your sphere of influence weakens, your sphere of influence shrinks. Instead of being more, you now become less, and the ego reacts to this with increasing anxiety and or depression. Your world is beginning to contract, and you may find you are not in control anymore. Instead of acting on life, life acts upon you by slowly reducing your world. The consciousness that identified with form, is now experiencing the sunset, the dissolution of form. And one day, you too disappear. Your armchair is still there. But instead of you sitting in it, there is just an empty space. You went back to where you came from just a few years ago. And so life continues in another manifested adventure of the return movement. DO YOU LIVE LIFE OR, DOES IT LIVE YOU? When we experience passing over and go through atonement, where we feel what another person feels to what we said or did, and then set the circumstances and conditions of a future life, our free will decisions take over as - life lives us. As such we learn on our journey to float with the current in the river and be at peace with the present moment. We are guided and experience what we intended to unfold. You can see what happens, what you can do or chose to do, or rather what life does to you. When you are one with life and in the present moment, you realize that you don’t live your life, but life lives you. Paraphrased from Tolle and Walsch‘s books. GENERAL SUMMARY When we have an illness, the illness is not the problem. You are the problem as long as the egoic mind is in control. The belief in a label that someone attaches to your condition, keeps the condition in place, empowers it and makes it a reality out of a temporary imbalance. It gives it reality and solidarity and continuity in time that it did not have before. The ill-ness, or any 'bad' thing, is our repeated opportunity for enlightenment. When we stop the energy blockage caused by the thought process, the energy is no longer a blockage that eventually leads to dis-ease. Our spirit has evolved through this ill-ness. The lesson has the opportunity of being learnt. If it is not the right time to learn this lesson, the pain will return in a latter life in a stronger and more forceful manner, until we get it! As a spirit, we re-incarnate to a planet that best provides the opportunity for spiritual evolvement. We even choose our parents based on one of them, sometimes both, mirroring our thought process to be felt. In this way we can feel the effects of such a thought process and if we decide it so, we make appropriate changes from the inside of our being. PAIN As we move from form to the formless, so we can move pain. First acknowledge it, then let it go. Each time our mind checks on it, the pain is replanted. Pain is there to get our attention. To dwell on it keeps the mind / ego engaged
which can then lead to an identity of "suffering" because of the pain. So, acknowledge
/ notice the pain, then let go...put your attention somewhere else...perhaps on
your breathing, on the flower that is in front of you, on the colours of the sky,
on parts of your body where there is no pain, etc. When the pain calls your attention
again, give it your attention, then shift your focus. This is not about ignoring
or denying the pain. On the contrary, it is giving it your attention, then shifting
your focus. Do you only acknowledge your child the first time they call? Or do
you give them your attention each time, knowing / trusting that they are getting
your attention for a reason / with the intent of being acknowledged and supported.
So it is with the pain. Symptoms, pain included, are there to give us information,
to get our attention.....and in the honouring of that, we support whatever it
is about! Okay, so this may shock you in the belief that the child chooses their parents based on the trait the child chooses to address. It is part of their life plan determined in the spirit world, before you take a physical form on earth. You experience first hand the effects, of the trait you choose to address. You are conditioned to feel this trait as normal. Years later you are drawn to an individual who feeds this trait and the healing can begin, if you are “conscious” to it and choose to act on it. Dr. Hendrix is the founder of the Imago Relationship Theory, which he says is a way to transform an "unconscious relationship" into a "conscious partnership." "[Imago] helps couples understand how the problems they have in a relationship in the present are connected to issues that are left over from childhood," he says. "Most of the stuff that's going on in a relationship has its roots in the past—we say about 90 percent in the past, and it's triggered by about 10 percent of the behaviours in the past. Contrary to our culture's model, Dr. Hendrix says intimate relationships are not really about romance. "It's an amazing thing that you're drawn together, in the romantic phase, to somebody who's similar to the worst traits of all the negative traits combined of all your caretakers," he says. "A romantic phase is an anaesthesia. It's like nature is keeping you from knowing what it's about to set you up to do, which is to heal each other's childhood wounds." Dr. Oz says Dr. Hendrix's theory has medical backing. When you are first in love, he says your body releases natural chemicals like dopamine, which is related to addiction, and oxytocin. "That makes you feel love and warm and cuddly," Dr. Oz says. The romantic phase—with its natural high from chemicals—begins to wear away after a few years, Dr. Oz says. "Which sort of makes sense because that way the child is old enough that if the pair splits, the child can make it," he says. "That's why I think you have to reinvent the marriage every five to seven years. You've got to reconnect! Dr. Harville's first exercise was to find out how a couple describe their dream marriage, using an Imago technique called "mirroring." In this exercise, one partner is supposed to let the other be heard without judgment. "Most of the time, we talk and we don't listen," he says. "When you mirror, you have to sort of quiet your own mind so you can let in what's coming from the other person. By repeating what you thoughts you heard, you can attain true communication and therefore validation. On a personal note, have a moment of anger as a way of releasing and expressing your feelings. Ideally it can lead to a verbal or non-verbal validation from the other person. Then let it go, as repeating it at a later time keeps it alive. Too many of these stored feelings can only play on you and eat you up, eventually erupting in a life changing moment. In summary, give these feelings a voice and then release them. This is critical! What makes a new relationship so complicated, is that all this happens during the chemical high found in the first stages of a relationship, leaving you feeling that how can something that feels so good and so right, result in a hardship. As a rule always follow your heart but have the awareness, that when this phase ends, a reinvention of yourself needs to kick in. As a couple we grow at different rates of consciousness, so please be patient with each other in the time it takes.
Look at it from this example, as written by Tolle - I was writing The Power of Now, and writing about accumulated emotions. And then I was taking a break and went into the park and sat on a bench by a pond, and I saw two ducks approaching on the pond, and suddenly, maybe one duck or, one duck got close, too close to the other. Suddenly they started getting into a fight. It lasted for about 30 seconds and then they both separated, swam off in opposite directions. They were still agitated, both of them, and then both ducks kind of lifted themselves up on the water and vigorously flapped their wings a few times. They almost stood up on the water, and then suddenly they were totally peaceful again and swam off. They were doing cleansing breath. And I realized at that moment I had actually been writing about this, and the ducks were showing me how they let go of what otherwise would have become accumulated negativity in the body, and so their instinctive natural intelligence takes over, which is to, think it off. All the ducks after a fight do that. And immediately that clearing, the energy gets dissipated, and they are totally peaceful afterwards. And then, of course, they don't have the human mind, which repeats the story of, "How dare you come over to my side of the pond again, this is my territory and I'll protect it!."
RELATIONSHIPS IN OTHER WORDS Relationships with a spouse or partner fail more than they succeed. This conflict is actually growth trying to happen. Dr. Hendrix believes that we unconsciously choose a partner, an 'Imago match,' who has positive and negative traits similar to your parents. This parent/partner experience happens on a physical plane that represents a possible enhancement of our Spirit, if we choose it. This also happens in the non-physical world, that shows you clearly of the lost opportunities. When we shed our physical body, and enter the non-physical world, we go through Atonement (at one-ment) in the Spirit world, where we feel our effects of our actions on others. Even your children are a reflection of yourself, both of your strengths and weaknesses. Opportunities for learning are with you and wait for the right time for your free will response. It is like your atonement opportunity, but while in the physical form. Your children are a message your future will never see. In this way, your traits if left unattended, will be continued until we get it right. When we truly get it, we experience that what we put out, is reflected back to us, many times over. This is part of our feeling and encouraging the change in our inner self. A GOOD PARENT One of our responsibilities
as parents is to become independent of our children. Andrew Schneider notes that many of us feel inadequate as parents because we assume we
are totally responsible for them, but we are not. Schneider says, "Their
soul is in charge of their lives, and nothing that you do can greatly
interfere nor greatly help. Who you are as a being and what you model
is the important reality." How specifically can we support our children?
We want them to feel nurtured and valued. We want to support them in learning
how to provide for themselves. And we want to help them build good relationships.
"The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how
to get along without them." WHAT IS THE CONCLUSION? You are the power in your world! You get to have whatever you choose to think! This moment is a point of power! This moment is where the change begins! Only when in the non-physical or Spirit world, will it all make sense. It is a glorious wonder, to say the least! Most of the following thoughts come from The Daily Guru DO MY THOUGHTS HAVE POWER? Not only do your thoughts have power but they have shaped your world up until this point in time. Thoughts are like seeds which when nourished with emotion come to life on the screen of the world. Thoughts are things which are not yet manifest. That is why there is a saying which goes, "be careful what you wish and think. It may come true". WHY DO I CRAVE THE APPROVAL OF OTHERS? There is a saying that goes, "to be free of the good and bad opinion of people is to be truly free". Anyone who chases the approval of other people has imprisoned themselves on the false perception of others. Others cannot see the real you, they only see the mental pictures they have of you which aren’t real. Be free and soar. Rise to new heights. Do not let anything in this world worry you. You must be in the world, but not of it. Be like a boat. Be in the water, but never let the water in the boat. WHAT IS FORGIVENESS AND WHY SHOULD I PRACTICE IT? There are two types of forgiveness. One you do for another, and one you do for yourself. The forgiveness you do for another is the false forgiveness and keeps you further in bondage and pain because you never fully release the other person. Therefore the pain stays within you. Normally you say, "this time I forgive you, but next time I won't". Forgiveness never places conditions. The other type of forgiveness is the type you do for yourself. You realise that if you don't forgive the other person, YOU will suffer inside. The burning fires of hell are in you when you don't forgive others. It will poison your entire energy system allowing sickness and disease to enter. WHY DOES LIFE SEEM SO OVERWHELMING SOMETIMES? When you are feeling overwhelmed, it is life trying to make you evolve to a higher level of being and consciousness. The Universe is trying to bring up everything that lies deep down within us. Everything we fear and have stored away deep down in the dungeons of our unconscious mind is holding us back from our evolution to a higher level of consciousness. Every time something tries to come up to the surface to be let go of, we run to this substance or that activity in the hope that we can suppress that which we fear. We do not smoke because we are addicted to smoking or we do not overeat because we are hungry, we do these things in an effort to try and shove down suppressed negative energy which we don’t want to face. WHY ARE WE ON THIS PLANET? We were put on this planet to realise our true potential and it is through betterment of ourselves, that the truth of who we really are starts to dawn upon us. As Wayne Dyer says, we are spirits having a human experience, not humans having a spiritual experience. WHAT IS LOVE? Love is your natural state. If you are not feeling the powerful emotion of love, something must be out of balance. You have lost your way. When you were created, all you knew was love, in fact you are love. You were then slowly programmed by society to experience other false emotions. There are two emotions you have experienced. One is love, and one is fear. One is real, and one is false, and you cannot experience them together. When it is a cloudy day, you cannot see the blue sky anymore, it is obscured by your dark perception. To regain your natural birthright, you must learn, over time, to remove the dark clouds which blind you from love. Then, and only then, will you see that you don’t have to look for love outside of you. It was there within you all the time. WHAT IS SICKNESS AND DISEASE? Just as the word suggests, disease is emotional dis-easement. When the emotions become under emotional dis-easement, sickness occurs. A peaceful and tranquil mind does not project sickness upon the body. The body is the barometer of the soul. Sickness is an indicator to project back to you whether you walk the path of love, or whether you walk the path of fear. It is a cry out for help that the mind has gone to far into the realms of fear. When fear is gone from the mind totally, the body becomes invincible. The body was designed to be healthy for hundreds of years, but unfortunately, we have forgotten the secrets to inner health WHAT IS KARMA? Karma is said to be the consequence of a past action. It is said, that if you have ever done anything wrong, you will be pay for it in some shape or form. For every action, there is a reaction. For every cause, there is an effect. Can I escape the consequences of karma? In short, yes. Just because you have made mistakes in the past, it doesn’t mean you have to pay for them by way of karma in the future. As I have said before, you can cancel a lifetime of karmic debt, by deciding in the present, not to make the same mistake in the future. One wholehearted decision in the present not to repeat the past will free you of many lifetimes of karmic consequences. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO SOLVE MY MANY PROBLEMS The way to solve your many problems can be found within your self. For every effect, there is a cause. The cause is always found within you. Never blame the world for your problems. This just puts you deeper into feelings of separation and as I have told you before, your perception that you are separate from everyone IS the problem. You are saying that the problem is outside of you and you are separate from it. Take full responsibility for your life. Only then will you be empowered because you will realize that you and only you have the power to solve your many problems. You will then discover that laying blame outside of you WAS the problem. THE LAW OF ATTRACTION The Law of Attraction states that you'll attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted--emphasis on the unwanted. The "vibes" that you put out into the Universe (also called vibrations) are either negative vibes or positive vibes, and at every moment, the Law of Attraction is responding to the vibes you are offering by giving you more of the same, whether wanted or unwanted. If you are curious about what it is that you are offering vibration ally in any area of your life, you simply need to take a look at that area and see what you're getting. It's a perfect match.
A CLEAR MENTAL IMAGE It is quite probable that you will find it hard to think positively whilst you are in a negative mood. Remind yourself that thoughts have power, and as repeated thoughts materialize, it is not wise to mess with negative ones. SYNCRONICITY When you are focused and have a goal in mind, the Universe makes way for things to happen, in a certain way, which may seem miraculous at first. You don't have to be concerned with the details of how to get there, or how things will happen. You only have to have a goal. The way to achieve this goal, is not your concern, it will all fall into place...This process is called "synchronicity". When you are in tune with the Universe, and in tune with your self, everything is taken care of for you. Everything will happen in a perfect way. You were born to set goals, not for the goal as an end in itself, but so you can marvel at how it all unfolds, and how the Universe wants you to know how powerful you are. HOW DO I FIND MEANING IN MY LIFE? The only way to find true meaning in your life is to see that there is nothing worth searching for in the outer world. When your outer search starts to subside, your inner light starts to shine forth and then the world will take on a new meaning. The only way to find true meaning in your life is to see that there is nothing worth searching for in the outer world. When your outer search starts to subside, your inner light starts to shine forth and then the world will take on a new meaning Instead of waking each day and wanting to go back to sleep, you will greet each day with zest and enthusiasm. You will be filled with motivation regardless of the weather, and life will become a marvelous adventure. To enter this other world of enchantment, you must resist the temptation to seek external meaning. When your focus is taken off the outer, the inner will be ready to hand you the real rewards of life. MY THOUGHTS TO YOU The Universe is constantly trying to guide us on the path to spiritual wholeness, but we do not listen. Sickness is a classic sign that we are holding onto something, but we are not letting go. Take Unforgiveness for example. We hold on tight and it manifests as sickness. There are many signs that indicate you are swaying off the spiritual path. Most of them come in the form of disasters and mishaps. They start off in a gentle way and the more you don’t take notice of them, the worse they become. They keep coming till you finally learn your life lesson. Take it from me, when you are tickled lightly by a feather, take the message then and there that something is amiss. Don't wait till life serves you a lethal blow. If you take the messages as soon as they come, your life journey will become a smooth and enjoyable ride. NINE TIPS FOR ADVANCING THE PATH OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH
1. Read spiritual and uplifting books. Think about what you read, and find out
how you can use the information in your life. Our world is usually facing yet another possible war. I think aggressive action doesn't work because, when one chooses to attack, be it with thoughts, words or actions, this only increases the fear energy - the anger and hate energy released into the universe. Sooner or later it will come back to oneself. Attack increases terrorism. It keeps the cycle of anger and fear going. A better solution, I think, is to increase the love and harmony energy in the universe. If one chooses to send light and love energy to those people and places from whence anger and attack come from, that love energy, if it is pure and unconditional, will influence toward peace if it is received. If it is rejected, the love energy will form a barrier which turns the anger and hate energy back to the one who sent it, in a magnified form. If we all choose to send Light and Love, we would be very powerful. Even a few of us choosing to send unconditional love would change things. If our love is not totally unconditional we could ask Jesus or Buddha or the Angels to take our intention for unconditional positive energy and purify it and send it on it's way. Choosing to do this daily would be a sign that you are a Light Worker, having incarnated at this time for the purpose of holding Light and Love and Compassion on the earth till others can receive it. This is how I see it, based on my reading and my own convictions. If you resonate with the above, maybe you will begin sending love energy to those who, in your opinion, need it most.

IN A NUTSHELL
A DWELLING WITH A DIFFERENCE These shredded parts can be mixed with a fire-proof polyurethane and held in place by a recycled plastic panel that will fit between a housings wooden framework, to act as insulation. Indentations can be made for the necessary wiring. Used automobile and truck shredded tires can also be part of this mix. It would be a mandatory component of any buildings construction. Labour from prison inmates could be functional and beneficial in the manufacturing process. HOW TO HELP THE EARTH! It occurs to me, that all countries have a huge problem with what to do with discarded pre-used plastics and packaging that we often take for granted, as well as the storage and future use of pre-used auto and truck tires. Here’s an idea - how about converting them into small granules that can be spread under new road surfaces? Can currently owned winter road salting equipment be used to spread these granules under asphalt, as part of the road building process? Could household plastic products be collected in green bags as part of a recycling program and be converted to dull granules,that can be also used under new paving? The earth needs new creative approaches to just dumping them. As a recap - it would reuse rather than fill garbage dumps, save energy as an insulator, be revenue producing and eventually replace wood?, etc……..DON’T WE ALL WIN? |
