Michael Moore: More Than a Victory, the Supreme Court Decision Today Was a Mandate for Us to Act

Note from Deborah

I have to say that I have been flabbergasted from the beginning as to why the whole healthcare debate has been so divisive. To me it seems obvious that something needs to be done. Maybe that’s just me, as someone who has had healthcare for only 2 years in her whole life and who is always aware that if something goes wrong I’m pretty much screwed, but I just sort of thought that everyone could see the need. Maybe if you’re one of the wealthy who can afford the $1,500 a month that seems to be the standard, the current system is working. I don’t know. But by and large, I think most of us can see that a healthcare system “for the rich and by the rich” isn’t serving the masses very well.

So while I don’t honestly know how this will play out, I’m really hopeful that something really good is about to happen. My great disappointment is that it is still in the old-world sick-care system that is based only in pharmaceuticals and allopathic medicine. But I can see how once we get a framework in place, it is possible that the program will eventually expand to include every American and that it will come to include natural options at some point in the near future. And I like what Michael Moore had to say so I thought I’d pass it on.

More Than a Victory, the Decision Today Was a Mandate for Us to Act …an end zone dance from Michael Moore

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

Dear Friends,

Even though it’s been a few hours now, I’m guessing you’re still pinching yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming. But yes, it happened. At 10:07 this morning, the conservative Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Roberts, not only joined with the liberal justices to completely uphold almost every single part of the Obama health care law, he wrote the majority opinion himself! In fact, he went even further. When he realized that the government had poorly made its constitutional case to the court, he went searching for a clause in their argument and the constitution that would give him the justification he needed to back the administration and to insure that his decision would hold up legally. In other words, even though he is on the opposite side of the political fence, he wrote the Dems’ paper for them. Stunning.

The other four justices? They didn’t just vote to overturn the individual mandate part of the law, they all voted to kill the entire Act.

The media is already spending much time talking about the mandate being the “centerpiece of the law,” but the real news is that if you ever have a pre-existing condition, you cannot now be denied insurance. If you are a young adult without health insurance, you can now stay on your parents’ plan until age 26. The insurance company can no longer say there is a lifetime cap to your coverage. The insurance companies are now required to spend 85 cents out of every dollar they take in on actual reimbursement for your health care – not on profit or “administrative costs” (some companies have been taking over a 30% cut; Medicare’s total percentage of their budget for administrative costs: 2%).

I know that our side is not used to victories and so we’re not quite sure how to respond when we get one out of the blue. For some of us, the first inclination is to point out just how weak the Obama law actually is, that it doesn’t provide true universal health care (26 million will STILL be uninsured), and that it leaves control of the system in the hands of the vultures, otherwise known as the health insurance companies. The individual mandate was a huge gift to the private insurance companies, guaranteeing them billions more from millions of new customers. And many of the key provisions of this law don’t even take effect until 2014 – and if the Republicans win in November, you can kiss all of that goodbye.

So, yes, the bill is highly flawed and somewhat wrong-headed – but what it IS is a huge step in the right direction. And today’s court decision cements that. The right wing knows this and they are probably unraveling in some not-so-pretty ways right now. And that’s why today is a great day. The Right has been smacked down by one of their own! They know what we all know — that the path of history has been, and will continue to move toward the basic human right that all people are entitled to see a doctor and NOT have to worry about losing their home because they can’t afford to pay the medical bills. Those days are over, or will be soon, and that is where civilization is headed. It’s not headed back to the days of Oliver Twist. Today’s victory is momentum, it’s forward motion, and we WILL have true universal health care in this country in the not too distant future.

So take some time tonight to celebrate; this is a victory for the people. Actually, more than a victory, it is a mandate that all of us must now make sure that a second-term Obama continues to move the ball down the field, toward a system like they have in every other First World country on the planet. He simply has to improve Medicare and then expand it to every citizen in the country. The countries that do this, their people live an average of two to four years longer than we do. Is there a reason anyone doesn’t want an extra four years of their lives? Or that our babies would have a better chance of surviving their first year like they do in the 48 countries that have a better infant mortality rate than we do? Exactly who is opposed to this? You’d have to be a bit…crazy.

And that, I’ve come to believe, is the true divide in this country. It’s not blue state vs red state, liberal vs conservative, Democrat vs Republican. The split we have in America can be boiled down in its simplest form to this: On one side are the people who believe Adam and Eve rode on dinosaurs 6,000 years ago – and then there’s everyone else. On that first side are the people who’ve been fed a diet of fear and lies and hate. And who is feeding them? The 1%. The richest people in the country, the ones who aren’t done with us yet because they still don’t have enough wealth, have done their best to dumb down the population through destroying our educational system and using media to provide them with a vastly distorted sense of reality. The rich’s only obstacle is that they only hold 1% of the votes in the country. So they have to try to get a slim majority of Americans to vote their way. And fear, plus keeping them stupid, usually works.

So that’s the battle ahead of us: Organizing and mobilizing the majority of Americans to push for true universal health care, Medicare for All. At one time, back in Illinois, that was the position held by Barack Obama. He will not make this happen on his own. He will only be able to do it when the mass of American people rise up and demand it. Demand it. Why not start tonight?

Five years ago this week, my health care documentary, Sicko, opened in theaters across the country. I have spent the better part of the decade on this issue, and for me, personally, fully aware of the current law’s limitations, I am very happy with today’s news – not because of its specifics or nuances, but because it is a road sign, and that sign points in the correct, humane and sane direction. THAT makes this a great day.

Yours,

Blessings and Visualizations for Colorado

From Deborah Lindsey

It seems that large chunks of Colorado are aflame. A Perfect Storm of conditions has conspired to create an unmanageable scenario where homes and land are left scorched. Scores of animals are being devastated or killed. I grieve mostly for the animals. Physical homes are so easy to replace but forests are not so easy to replace if that is your home. And the sheer number of animals who must be dying is beyond my comprehension. I almost can’t think about it.

It helps that I understand that there is no death, that we are all eternal. And that animals have much less resistance to dying as they have a deeper relationship with the other side. But the physical reality of dying by fire is to me horrific and I would do anything to lesson the pain and the trauma and the effect of the fires.

I see it as a call to remember that we know how to affect this. We know that the power of our thoughts is the most powerful force on the planet. So I’m calling for everyone who reads this to take a  moment right now, just pause for a moment or two, and visualize rain pouring down on these fires. See in your minds eye the raindrops hitting the fires and watching the fires extinguish. See the relief on the animals faces as they can relax and know that everything is alright. See the firemen and women getting into their trucks to go home.

Call upon the elemental force of the wind and ask her to recede until the fires are quenched. Call upon the element of fire herself and ask her to calm now. We recognize her value and her power and we know that she also serves to cleanse. But in this moment, much harm is being inflicted by her great power and we ask her to relinquish in this moment.  And call upon the elemental force of the rain to bring forth a mighty deluge to quench the fires that burn. Nature is intelligent and it responds to our needs. There is a reason why the Native Americans would do a rain dance. Let us dance now as we set our intention to calm the fires and heal all that are affected.

Science Supports As Above, So Below and proves Hermetic Philosophy

In 1908, The Three Initiates wrote a book called “The Kybalion.”  This book, which is considered by many in the metaphysical belief system to be “the Bible”, sets forth the principles or laws that run our universe. The principles were attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, who was also known as the Greek god Hermes, as Mercury, as Thoth and even Sun Ra. He was known to be the teacher of Abraham and his teachings, which are believed to be transported from Atlantis, are found at the foundation of most religions including Christianity.

One of these seven laws is called “The Principle of Correspondence” which says, quite succinctly “As Above, So Below.” This principle, which pervades all things, is perfectly exemplified in the video above where world famous scientist Neil DeGrasse Tyson answers the question of “what is the most astounding fact about the universe?” It is a fascinating example of Hermetic law.

If you would like to know more about these principles, I actually offer an entire course on it at IMU called, “Principles of Metaphysics.” These principles are so important that this is the one course that we actually require for all students who attend IMU. This is the sort of information that changes the way you view the world and will give you “the master key” for living your life. I have had more than a few students tell me that their life changed as a result of this course and still others have said it was the best class they have ever taken.

If you are interested in learning more or even in signing up, you can read more about the class here.

Embracing Sacred Sovereignty – The Divine Path of Calibration

I noticed this article today because, ironically, I recently submitted the paperwork to become a legal sovereign. Notably, I woke up this morning to a phone call from the local sheriff, who having noticed the affidavit at the county courthouse, wanting to know more about it. Not sure how to take it but I think that any opportunity to educate is an an opportunity worth taking. :) So when I sat down  at my computer a few minutes later and saw an article on sacred sovereignty, I knew I had to read it. And when I then saw it was about the sacred path of being single, as I am, I recognized that it was speaking right to me. I thought if it spoke to me, perhaps it would speak to others as well. Enjoy! – Deborah

Channeled information from Metatron via Tyberonn

June 18, 2012

www.Earth-Keeper.com

Greetings Beloved: I am Metatron, Lord of Light, and we welcome this gathering. We surround each of you in a specially created vector of Unconditional Love. A vector of nonlinear space that is uniquely opened as each of you read these words from your own space and chosen time.

The present phase of linear time on your planet is a uniquely opportune juncture for self-review and chosen solitude. Masters many of you, particularly those above the age of 49, the seventh 7 year cycle, find yourselves in a state of solitude, after spouses have passed, relationships terminated and marriage contracts have ended.

And although this path is at times quite lonely, quite difficult and may feel ‘unnatural’ for many of you, it is with purpose. So we tell you to use this time wisely, embrace it. You are on the cusp of a great graduation.

Now there is a recurring message in many of your religious texts that says “For everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.”

Indeed there is a time for solitude. Divine Solitude is a noble condition, and one that offers quantum leaps in terms of growth, when understood and recognized for its profound purpose.

You see the Divine-Self is ultimately, conclusively alone in its final pursuit of omnipotence.

In your terms, the soul enters the earth alone, and the spirit departs the earth alone. Ascended Masters that walk the Earth have for millennia sought solitude in their incarnations before achieving Mastery. So it is with many of you now.

Dear Ones, Many of you who find yourself alone at this time are of the belief that you must find a partner. Many of you seek your ‘soul mate’ your twin flame. Yet we tell you, in many cases among the advanced souls, you are alone because you have planned it. Indeed it is a special and noble undertaking. It is time for Divine Solitude.

Solitude for those seeking sanctified light, for those seeking what is termed ‘consecrated enlightenment’ choose specific periods in their life plan, to be alone for a time. This does not mean you will always be in solitude, it simply means for a time you have chosen it to ‘work on the self;’ to achieve self love. Among souls seeking Mastery, approximately one of every three or four lifetimes is a lifetime chosen for solitude.

Love of self is a condition that many, especially those from Christian heritage, have lost. Christianity with its teachings of original sin taught you that you were flawed in your nature, that you needed forgiving. You spent lifetimes prostate asking forgiveness for who you are. You lost your sense of your divinity and found it easier to give than to receive. Balance was forfeited.

Now, we tell you that as the Earth transforms to the new Crystalline Age, the nature of energy resonance and the dimensional grasp of the planet is expanded. There is a lessening of the influence of duality/polarity for those of you that choose to extend beyond the third dimension.

You may ask whether solitude or partnerships bring greater advancement to the soul. The question is timely and especially pertinent for many of you in the dawn of the Ascension.

The short answer is that both coupling and solitude have their divine purpose…. and we underline the word BOTH. Much is gained in being in committed loving relationship. This is the natural circumstance in most sojourns on the plane of Earth.

But Masters, we tell you that there is also great purpose also in solitude. It is in fact a requisite.

It is no error that great numbers of you on the final steps of the path of enlightenment are alone in this period. Now is the prelude to the coming Ascension. If you are among these, we tell you that perhaps your solitude is appropriate. Perhaps it is as it should be. You see it is how many of you planned it.

Yet many of you feel that the loneliness is too much to bear and that you must pursue a partner…the elusive twin flame. Dear Souls, there is much confusion around the concept of the twin flame, the ‘soul mate’ and the role and nature of optimal partnership in Mastery of Self.

Solitude is intended to be a period of sublime reverence of self. Your life and your experience in this plane is your own creation, your own living tapestry, woven by your individual belief. Within solitude, the soul is prompted into self-review, and opportunity is given to dive deeply into the deep waters that flow within you. To swim in the ocean of SELF, and in so doing rediscover the love within, to learn what a brilliant spark of God you truly are.

Relationships are a method of reflecting the affectivity of your belief system and giving you feedback on what, simply stated, is working, and what is not. Detachment requires the individual to explore the self, to reacquaint with the inner horizon, and this facilitates and necessitates sovereignty. Sovereignty is the prepotency of Mastership.

A relationship of two sovereign nondependent humans has greater balance, greater creativity, and greater longevity than a pairing of two beings co-dependent on one another. Do you understand?

Ultimately each soul must clearly define SELF in order to gain Mastery.

Self Mastery is embodied in periods of planned detachment. It is that period in which impeccability is crystallized. And we tell you Dear Ones, crystallization, through impeccability is a necessary phase of Self- Mastery. It is a calibrational juncture in the multidimensional sojourn. One enters the void, the great mystery in the quest for fortitude and sovereign vision, alone, without a shoulder to lean on. And in the process, one discovers sublime wholeness and self completion.

Do not misunderstand our meaning; there is great validity in coupling, in the natural aspect of soul mate. But conclusively one walks the path of Mastery in sovereign detachment.

One becomes enlightened when one learns to transcend the physical self. Each of you must endeavor to the final conquest of what we term as ‘impeccability’. Impeccability is the crystallization or uniform clarity of the soul, and it is a necessary virtue of Mastery. This involves release of dependency, the release of all that does not serve your divinity. It is a rebooting and reprogramming of all you are.

We have told you that the language, the fabric of higher dimension is sacred geometry. Impeccability is the geometric clarity of the soul mind. By defining oneself through impeccability one becomes crystalline, and thus more capable of Divine Consciousness within the geometric light of coherent higher planes. It is only accomplished by deciding who you are, what you believe, and then living it. Recognizing your truths, and aligning fully to them.

Question to Metatron: Are you saying that loving relationships, such as marriage, are not our ultimate union?

Metatron: Remember that in the highest realm you are in sacred Oneness, each a part of the Divine One. So in terms of duality experience, the answer to your question is yes. In this context, YES! Masters, in highest reality, you are a unified plural consciousness.

Relationships in the linear duality experience are a means to the end. We are saying that loving relationships are a sacred, joyful tool of achieving Self Mastery, but that ultimately in each soul’s journey there is requisite ultimate growth into sovereignty. The sovereign self is a sufficient self & truly has no dependent need of another. Such conceptual dependency can be a deterrent to Mastery.

In truth you merge in sovereignty with your other half. The other part of your soul that separated in duality expression. Each of you have a male and female component in duality, and the other half is re-merged in the Integral Divine Self before rising into higher realm. This is in fact a requisite mergence, and is occurring for so many of you as you enter 2012.

Many of you consider a soul mate and twin flame the same. Only the syntax is in parity. The true meanings are different. The twin flame is the other half of the same soul, split in duality, and these are very rarely in physicality together. The ‘soul mate’ is, in our terms, another soul with whom you have contracted to grow together within physical duality as a means of development and exploration of love with another soul. Movement toward common purpose.

The seeming paradox in linear relationships, that of the ‘soul mate’ concept (not the twin flame) is that a relationship of two non-dependent sovereign beings has greater joy, greater balance, greater interface with the divine, greater opportunity for advancement than a relationship based on co-dependence. Do you see?

In this time, in this now, many of you are actually merging with your etheric (non-physical) twin flame, and molding your sacred fullness into one physicality in order for you to enter the crystalline realm in wholeness. In most cases this soul reconnection is accomplished in solitude or in sovereign non-dependent relationships.

So we say embrace your chosen period of SOVEREIGN SOLITUDE, it is the sign of your soul’s intent to enter into Crystalline Mer-Ka-Na Mastery.

We add that many who are in this life, of the female gender, have chosen particularly effacious roles in the balancing of the planet at this time. Is it not true that the planet has been imbalanced in an overage of patriarchal energies for millennia? That is why it would appear that a vast majority of those drawn to the ‘New Age’ are female, you see, to anchor in the Divine Feminine. Females have been conditioned and labeled in your current paradigm as the ‘weaker sex’. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

Many of the females, who find themselves now in single status, are conditioned to feel they must have a partner. Again, we say, embrace your solitude. You chose it, we honor you for the path you have chosen.

The ideal for the planet is not to be female or male, rather a perfect balance of BOTH, but it is at the moment still in an imbalance of patriarchal resonance. We honor those of you in female biology; your strength is indeed progressing in creating the nurturing balance.

Truly the over-soul is androgynous, self-contained. Self-sufficient. That does not mean that love is not the frequencial basis of the soul, indeed it is the highest vibration. It is the resonance that is produced by the Ascended Soul to the Cosmos, and reflected back as a collective harmonic of crystalline love. There is a time when those of you have played the role of soul mates, will individualize, and in your terms, part in joy. The evolved soul, in achieving omnipotence, will become consummately self sufficient, and in so doing radiate spectacular unconditional love to ALL. That is as it should be, as it must be. It is how you Ascend.

The final graduation of the soul is not done in pairing, you see. It is done within the Divine SELF in universal harmonic to the All that is. Do you understand? This is the activation of Self to the divine resonance of the Quantum Crystalline Field. Separation must osmatically occur before the final collective reunion, it must occur to allow for the final coalescence into the ALL THAT IS.

It is who you ARE. It is the I AM that I AM.

Our point here is that if you find yourself in Solitude, recognize its purpose. If you are in a relationship, refine it in beauty to the greater love of non-dependence. You will indeed discover the love expands and the relationship becomes more splendid in non dependency; just as you are discovering relationships of co-dependency are imbalanced one-way streets, and fail.

In sovereignty humanity will see themselves in this framework as being ‘whole’ and not being their partner’s property or someone’s ‘better half’. Each will bring their integral, whole SELF in fullness, in robust flow of energy into relationship, in a manner that often does not occur today. There are pre agreed points that allow for freedom of choice and for change, even if that change is to end the partnership. In sovereignty individuals share their best, without compromise of ideals. Each will recognize the divinity of the other, and retain the integrity of SELF.

They will afford their own promises, promises and choices of a new paradigm, but there will be avenues and opportunities of adjustments and the ability of reviewing terms. This will allow for greater recognition of the SELF. These will be designed to prevent energy blockage and reduce dysfunctional marriages and divorce complications and lawsuits, you see.

Some relationships in these terms will indeed last a lifetime, some will not. But the archetype of sovereignty will better support both, based on choice and mutual agreement of each individual’s terms. And as such, independence becomes joyful, devoid of one partner being dominant and imposing their beliefs, morality, and will over another.

Humankind, in mass today, truly does not recognize or understand their soul, their divine SELF. Self is unfortunately regulated to the realm of ego personality by the masses. It is true that a higher degree of the light quotient is awakened on the planet now than has occurred at any other time, but it is still only about 10% of the population of eight billion plus that has awakened. That is a sufficient number to bring about the Ascension, but much has yet to be done.

Religion in the new paradigm must be individualized, must truly recognize the nature of SELF, the nature of the DIVINE SOUL. None of your world religions truly answer these questions today. None of your religions answer the questions of man’s true Cosmic Extra-Terrestrial multi-dimensional origins, and that must come to understanding in the new paradigm. None of your current mainstream religions can accurately and completely express the true history of man on the earth. As such, there is no one true religion on the planet today. Most are bought and sold on preset regulated templates. Each claim to know the paths to God, to be able to lead the way to God, yet none truly do. Each has its dogma, each has its hierarchy and controls.

Man searches for GOD more fervently now than at any other time on the planet, and so this seeking in itself has the potential to bring in the light. Few religious teachers are true teachers; scholars perhaps, but not true teachers, you see. Others are charlatans, even within metaphysics and the so called ‘New Age’. Few who make claim to channel Ascended Masters or Angelics truly do.

When integrity is not maintained the connection to true spirit is disconnected, and all who are human are subject to fall in and out of integrity. Truly the way in the Ascension is the ability of each soul to rise into his/her higher self. Look inside and find your own divinity within your heart. Not through blindly following a guru, evangelist, channelers or spiritual leader, but through SELF. Accept only what you discern individually to resonate as true, Dear Ones, and do not give your power to another. Each of you can and must channel your higher selves. Study, look, listen, discern, review and only accept what resonates within you.

The way to the divine, Masters, is through the sacred sovereignty of SELF, and in the Ascension, the way to the higher SELF is through self-definition and seeking that aspect of God inside each of you, with the great desire that is embedded in each of your souls. Study, seek, and work! There is little hope for advancement if you chose to be lethargic or the lazy. Effort is requisite to rise above duality. It has always been so. You are here to make known the unknown! Work at it! Be a warrior of light within duality, for the true battles are within for self mastery. The path is not easy. But within Self Mastery lies an energy so exquisite that it fuels all you require to move forward, and there is another level above each you ascend to. Consciousness ever expands.

Discover your path. Discover yourself. Love yourself, love one another, love the divinity inside you and inside every one! Discover the multidimensional aspects of your true Soul. That is the nobility of solitude.

And though the path is at times quite difficult and lonely, know that such is the challenge of duality, for above you are whole and lack nothing. In the higher realm, Masters, you are in your sacred nature of integral wholeness, in complete and abundant bliss.

We are ever with you. We offer unconditional love. We ask that you treat yourself and others with nurturing love and respect. We honor you!

I am Metatron, Lord of Light, and I share with you these TRUTHS!

You are Beloved.

…And so it is.

 

Law of Karma in the Context of Healing

by Ashok Rajguru, Muscat.

The word Karma often evokes strong, even rabid reactions. Glenn Hoddle, a former football star and the manager of England’s team in 1999 lost his job for invoking Karma to explain the suffering of people with disabilities. Quoted out of context, his remarks understandably hurt the sentiments of a large number of people while his detractors used this opportunity to sack him.

Too many people Karma is an archaic religious concept that has no place in a secular and scientific world. This view is prevalent because Karma is the central motif in the cosmology and cosmogony espoused by Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh religion. However, an understanding of Karmic principles has important applications in patient care and healing.

What is Karma (and what it isn’t)?

Karma is often explained as a universal law of causation. After all, there is a cause for every action, event or manifestation of matter in any form, and Karma is perhaps just another label for causation. While this comes fairly close, the concept of Karma goes one step further. The consequences of action will affect the doer (for better or worse) if the doer has acted with a motive. Often the consequences are suffering and one is inclined to equate Karma with retribution.

Karma is not the Law of Retribution. In the broadest sense, Karma is action and the fruit of action taken together. Ideally, those who intuitively understand the workings of Karma do not attribute any deed as good or bad. A good outcome is good only so long as it lasts, and alas, nothing lasts forever. The subjectivity of good or bad is the concept of a mind conditioned by the pain and pleasure principle, which in most cases is the sole motivating factor for all human action.

Karma is not judgment – it is natural consequence. A coconut falling off from the coconut tree and cracking a passerby’s skull is a consequence of mass and gravitation – not a judgment of the coconut’s ability to hold on to the branch. Assuming the tree (a living entity) had no intent or motive to hurt the passerby, it may not suffer any Karma consequences. After the pain has subsided and the wound has healed, the injured person can either choose to suffer in misery or move on dispassionately and may be discovering the Law of Gravity.

Karma is not a belief system; it is the sequence of events one watches from the present position. And when we say “watch”, what is implied is observation bereft of associative thinking that leads to blame, guilt, shame etc. You don’t have to be a Buddhist, Jain or Hindu, only an unprejudiced observer.

Karma can also be understood as a descriptor of an experiential reality. One can describe the polarization of light in a solution of sugar with a theoretical construct; the property of sweetness is an experiential reality. Thus, rather than finding a “meaning” for Karma, one must get the experiential feel.

How does one get to understand Karma?

A Karmic understanding of the world and its happenings are best learnt experientially. Meditation is one such tool that trains the mind to view all phenomena with an unprejudiced eye. We perceive the world with our senses. The moment we register an impulse on any of these senses, the thinking mind give it a meaning by comparing, categorizing, and quantifying it with an experience we have had before. Our experiences are really a repository of our impressions based on our associations with pain and pleasure. Meditation allows the person to experience the sensations for a few brief moments bereft of meaning. Becoming an equanimous observer is the aim of meditation. Equanimity is the key to understanding the working of Karma. It must be pointed out though – meditation like any other learned skill demands patience, practice, guidance and gumption.

Karma in the context of healing

An understanding of Karma is quite important in the context of healing and patient care. If Karma forms the core concept of a person’s worldview, it is bound to affect his/her attitude towards life, health, sickness and death. Can an understanding of Karma help the patient and his family in medically futile situations?

Medical futility is a term used to describe the condition of a patient where any further medical action will not help recovery. It is not about hopelessness, which is a subjective feeling; it is more about a scientifically considered prognosis based on current medical knowledge. Most debates on medical futility have centered on the attending physician’s ethics and powers to pronounce judgment. However, the fact that a patient who understands of the workings of Karma can greatly influence his mental state and outcome is often overlooked.

A medical practitioner who is primarily concerned only with “scientific” data misses out on the underlying metaphor being expressed by the manifesting disease. If only the professional could reconnect with the pains, fears and emotions of patients, he would strengthen the patient to overcome Karma and heal – even though the patient is partially damaged on the physical plane. A healthcare professional who understands the workings of Karma appreciates that disease and suffering are moments of renewal for the patient. Lacking this understanding the caregiver can only provide pain relief and not pastoral care in the form of listening, supporting, encouraging and befriending – stuff that cannot be measured in terms of scientific parameters like pressure, temperature, or voltage, but matters most for recovery and well being.

Understanding Karma helps the patient

An understanding of Karma at the deepest level often helps patients get healthier despite debilitating diseases. It is well known that former alcoholics help addicts in rehabilitation, and diabetics help fellow diabetics manage their illness. Such people who have accepted their situation (Karmic fruit) are in a better state despite their disease than they were in their prime when they were termed healthier. The apparent clinical disability has in fact become a moral, social and spiritual strength.

Regarding clinical outcomes, when dealing with people having “faith” in Karma, we must understand that results will largely depend upon how far the individual has progressed in the practice and his/her experiential understanding of Karma. A terminally ill patient is indeed struggling with pain, but what the caregivers often miss is that the patient is also struggling with some other fundamental issues. Typically these issues are of acceptance – accepting one’s past without bitterness, accepting one’s own death and accepting that the world will go on without them. Unfortunately, neither healthcare professionals nor religious ministers are fully capable of helping. That is why one must prepare for death earlier on, when the person is in a healthier state of mind and body. Understanding the workings of Karma is one such step. The window of opportunity ideally arises once the patient has overcome the stage of Why me, Why now?

Is Karma compatible with science?

If evolution, phenotype, genotype, morphogenetic fields, hypnosis, and meditation are part of modern science, then Karma belongs to that exalted community too. Science accepts any concept that helps us understand Nature – light was thought to be made up of particles during Newton’s time and then Huygens called it a wave and now we accept it as both – depending on our position of observation and perception. A healer accepts everything that helps the patient and must admit the limitations of that system when it comes to the welfare of a patient. The wisdom lies in choosing the correct methodology. One must know when to get off the high horse and walk. Thanks to Dr. Herbert Benson and others of Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Deepak Chopra, meditation and other mind-body-spirit techniques, have found a permanent place in modern medicine.

The way ahead

People like biologist Rupert Sheldrake and medical researcher Bruce Lipton have been appealing for a new outlook. Clinicians like Murray Longmore and Ian Wilkinson have been exhorting that we must move beyond the mechanistic bio-psycho-social model of understanding the human being, the human condition and human suffering. This model must integrate a moral-symbolic-existential model for diagnosis and a spiritual-cultural-ritualistic model for care with the bio-psycho-social model. We must take medicine back to a humanistic plane and practice it as an artist and not like an artisan fixing and mending bodies.

Let us accept that the practice of Medicine is an Art, and all art is based on science. A dictionary cannot reveal the beauty of poetry, it can only explain word meaning. Healing is Medicine, Art and Humanities all rolled into one. If the patient is the central theme, there are no opposing dialectics.

Medical curriculum must introduce death as a point where Nature finds it is better to start from the scratch than to carry on with the muddle of action and suffering (Karma). Death is a moment of reincarnation because it allows the genotypes to re-organize and try on new phenotypes. The body and mind is only the outer garment (phenotype) of the genotype. Our genes are clothed by our identity in this lifetime to try on better patterns in order to evolve. Thus we do not “own” our genes, rather we “belong” to them. A person’s genetic pool is a resonant pattern (like a charged particle) that affects and is affected by the morphogenetic field which moulds his/her material form in the next incarnation. Each new form of life is affected by the morphogenetic field as well as its own unique Karmic charge. We are just another link in the chain of evolution – a sequence of forms striving towards perfection.

Vaccinated children have up to 500% more disease than unvaccinated children

(Deborah Lindsey)

I can tell you that in my years as an alternative healthcare practitioner, that I found this article to be completely true. I remember this one family that I worked with. They were very careful about their health, very knowledgeable about health (the husband could have been a doctor), and particularly cautious about their beautiful young son. They ate an almost entirely natural diet and lived almost entirely off the grid.  Then one day their son, who was 7 or 8 at the time announced that he really wanted to go to school. And because he had almost no social interaction besides them, they decided that it was a good idea. So after much discussion and much preparation, they set off to see an allopathic doctor to begin the mandated series of vaccines that they never would have given otherwise.

They were very cautious about how they approached it. They made sure he was well-fed and they gave him an aspirin before he series of shots to keep the body from spiking a very high fever. They even muscle tested before he shot to make sure he could handle it.

But then time came for the very last shot and the young guy had a cold. So mom sent him off with dad to the doctor, confident that the doctor certainly wouldn’t give the shots while he had a cold. Well, she was wrong. The doctor did indeed give him the shots that day even as the father was protesting and the child was crying.

That night the cold worsened and within 3 days he was experiencing symptoms of asthma, which never went away. The child was clearly vaccine injured. And the thing that is so crazy-making about this is:

1) Its MANDATED. The government and their cohorts in the pharmaceutical companies have created a fool-proof system to make sure that virtually every child in this county is pumped full of dozens and dozens of vaccines. If you want to send your children to school, you have to subject them to it.

2) No Recourse. So even when your child is obviously injured, as I have seen dozens of times and have absolutely no question as to the direct relationship between vaccines and autism and spectrum disorders, you can’t do anything about it. They have shielded the pharmaceutical companies from any responsibility.

3) We are losing a whole generation of kids. Some research shows that as many as 1 in 29 children is now on the Autism Spectrum. And that number is only likely to get worse as more and more vaccines are required (here comes Guardasil…how many kids they can kill with that one) and the Mainstream Media continues to paint the tale of how “there’s no evidence” to support that these vaccines are hurting people. Well, if you ever had one mom show up at your door with the story of how her child was perfectly healthy one day and 3 days later had lost all speech and was beating his head against the wall, you’d have all the proof you’d need. This doesn’t even consider what they did to the kids in Eastern Europe.

4) No one seems to be able to do anything about it. There’s so much money and so much corruption in this industry that it really seems like no one can do anything about it. The parents who have these children are so strapped for resources that they just don’t have time to to fight the good fight. The Jenny McCarthy’s of the world are few and far between. I wonder what it will take to elicit change. Unfortunately, we are losing an entire generation of kids in the meantime and few things make me more sad than that.

Vaccinated children have up to 500% more disease than unvaccinated children

(From NaturalNews)

Suspicions have been confirmed for those wary of vaccinating their children. A recent large study corroborates other independent study surveys comparing unvaccinated children to vaccinated children.

They all show that vaccinated children have two to five times more childhood diseases, illnesses, and allergies than unvaccinated children.

Originally, the recent still ongoing study compared unvaccinated children against a German national health survey conducted by KiGGS involving over 17,000 children up to age 19. This currently ongoing survey study was initiated by classical homoeopathist Andreas Bachmair.

However, the American connection for Bachmair’s study can be found at VaccineInjury.info website that has added a link for parents of vaccinated children to participate in the study. So far this ongoing survey has well over 11,000 respondents, mostly from the U.S.A. Other studies have surveyed smaller groups of families.

Nevertheless, the results were similar. Of course, none of these studies were picked up by the MSM (mainstream media). None were funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO) or any national or international health agency or medical profession group (http://healthimpactnews.com).

They don’t dare compare the health of unvaccinated children to vaccinated children objectively and risk disrupting their vaxmania (vaccination mania). The focus for all the studies was mostly on childhood illnesses occurring as the children matured.

Dramatic, debilitating, or lethal vaccine injuries were not the focus since so few, five percent or less, actually get reported to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Injury Reporting System) in the U.S.A. for various reasons including:

  • It’s a complicated system that takes time from a doctor’s practice.
  • Most parents don’t know about it.
  • Only adverse reactions that occur immediately after vaccinations are considered.
  • Since VAERS is voluntary, most doctors don’t want to incriminate themselves with vaccination injuries and maintain their denial of vaccine dangers.

Consequently, even the most terrible adverse reactions are minimally acknowledged, while long term negative health issues resulting from vaccines are not even considered relevant.

Different surveys summarized

The childhood diseases usually posed to respondents by the independent surveys involved asthma, reoccurring tonsillitis, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, allergies, eczema, ear infections, diabetes, sleep disorders, bedwetting, dyslexia, migraines, hyperactivity, ADD, epilepsy, depression, and slower development of speech or motor skills.

In 1992, a New Zealand group called the Immunization Awareness Society (IAS) surveyed 245 families with a total of 495 children. The children were divided with 226 vaccinated and 269 unvaccinated. Eighty-one families had both vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

The differences were dramatic, with unvaccinated children showing far less incidence of common childhood ailments than vaccinated children (http://www.vaccineinjury.info/images/stories/ias1992study.pdf).

From a different survey in the South Island New Zealand city of Christchurch, among children born during or after 1977, none of the unvaccinated children had asthma events where nearly 25% of the vaccinated children were treated for asthma by age 10 (http://www.vaccineinjury.info/images/stories/ias1992study.pdf).

Many of the comments from non-vaccinating parents to VaccineInjury.info for the ongoing Bachmair survey mentioned vaccination danger and developing true immunity naturally were concerns (http://www.vaccineinjury.info).

A PhD immunologist who wrote the book Vaccine Illusion, Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, has gone against the dogma of her medical training and background. She asserts that true immunity to any disease is not conferred by vaccines. Exposure to the disease, whether contracted or not, does (http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org).

Perhaps the most informal grass-roots survey going on now is by Tim O’Shea, DC, author of Vaccination is Not Immunization. He simply has non-vaccinating parents email him with comparisons of their children’s health to friends and families they know with vaccinated children. That and more is available on his site (http://www.thedoctorwithin.com).

Arc Lightning: Causing Massive Explosions, ‘Earthquakes’ and Destruction Worldwide

Waking Times

More and more there have been massive explosions, ‘earthquakes’ with no seismic activity, and destruction to nature and manmade structures worldwide that elude scientific explanation. All of these incidents have occurred without any warning and within a span of time that is very, very short. So short, as a matter of fact, that such phenomena can only be explained by lightning — what we have labelled ArcLightning[1].

West Michigan puzzled over Sunday night booms

The entire electrical grid of the planet has been profoundly and fundamentally altered over the course of the past one hundred plus years. And we don’t mean the artificial manmade grid that has been created to generate and disseminate electrical power to the countless homes and businesses around the globe. We’re talking about Earth’s natural electrical grid, which scientists have measured in so many ways.

Because of these myriad alterations to the planetary electrical system, which have radically changed the normal electrical currents, as well as natural charges – both static and dynamic – that occur in any given place at any given time, there are very unpredictable and unprecedented weather phenomena taking place all over the world.

Positive Lightning Strike, Tornado and Earthquake Swarms

The surface of the planet is now overwhelmed with humongous architectural structures, various types of power-generation plants and field-altering modes of transportation, all of which have created a new soup of electrical activity. When one overlays the exponential increase in wireless communication and information dissemination via cell phone towers and the multitude of devices in operation, it is easier to understand the increasing incidence of system overload and spontaneous discharge.

These causal co-factors to arc lightning may only contribute a moderate degree of the electrical potential for the many instances of extraordinary and ever-increasing strikes. Quite significantly, however, the much more powerful Positive Lightning Strike has seen a dramatic increase in occurrence, as many of the photos which follow vividly illustrate.

Uranus Square Pluto and Generational Tension

[This is an update of an article by Barbara Hand Clow published in Welcome to Planet Earth (1991) titled, “Will the Pluto in Leo Generation Heal Itself?” During 2012-15, we will be living through seven squares between Uranus and Pluto, which will radically change our lives. When this article first came out twenty years ago, it flew all over the place and had a big impact because it spoke to people about their family relations. So, in light of the upcoming squares, this article is updated to our present times. Next comes an article on how to best utilize the power of the first square between Pluto and Uranus on June 24, 2012. Get ready!]

Giant Crystal Pyramid Discovered In Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle: mysterious, unworldly, sometimes deadly. For decades intrepid researchers delved into the maze of mysteries hidden deep within this most enigmatic place on Earth.

Some speculate the bizarre time anomalies, disappearances and weird phenomena can be explained by natural occurences Others are insistent that relics of an advanced, unknown culture left behind fantastic technology…great energy machines that literally warp spacetime and open portals to other realities.

Now American and French explorers have made a monumental discovery: a partially translucent, crystal-like pyramid rising from the Caribbean seabed— its origin, age and purpose completely unknown.

Germ Theory Collapses as Cause of Illness

Germ theory delusions collapse as new science reveals healthy people carry 10,000 different germ strains at all times

Tuesday, June 19, 2012 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) The human body is essentially a “germ” factory, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. A new study published as a series of reports in the journals Nature and Public Library of Science (PLoS) debunks the widely believed germ theory, or the belief that all germs are “bad,” by showing that the average, healthy human body harbors more than 10,000 species of microbes that together maintain microbial balance and promote vibrant health.

Funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the study included a collaboration of 200 scientists from 80 different research institutions, all of whom worked together for five years to gain a better understanding of how microbes affect the human body. And what they discovered is not only fascinating but also revolutionary, at least as far as mainstream medicine is concerned.

In essence, this cohort of field experts uncovered something that many of them had never before considered, mainly that not all bacteria is detrimental. Many types of bacteria are absolutely necessary for the body to thwart inflammation and other disease causing factors, for instance, without which there would be no natural defense against harmful bacteria.

To come to this conclusion, the team first collected tissue samples from 242 healthy adults in the U.S., including from their mouths, noses, and different areas of their skin. They then separated the bacterial DNA from the human DNA in each of the samples in order to analyze the various types of living organisms that were present.

The researchers learned that as much as three percent of a person’s total body mass is composed of various microbes, which for the average adult translates into several pounds of microbiome, the name given to the “trillions of individual germs” that live within the body. And this collective microbiome basically ups the total number of human genes from about 22,000 to roughly eight million.

What this means is that the entire human genome depends on this plethora of unique microbes in order to perform vital bodily functions such as digesting food and processing nutrients; resisting disease and building immunity; and maintaining a healthy flora balance in the intestinal system. Without this bacteria, in other words, the human body would not be able to function properly or maintain any semblance of proper immunity.

“This is a whole new way of looking at human biology and human disease, and it’s awe-inspiring,” said Dr. Phillip Tarr of Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., one of the lead researchers for the study. “These bacteria are not passengers. They are metabolically active. As a community, we now have to reckon with them like we have to reckon with the ecosystem in a forest or a body of water.”

Antibiotic drugs, chemicals, vaccines, and other modern interventions destroy human microbiome

Unfortunately, many in modern society still cling to the antiquated and disproven notion that disease is primarily caused by germs. Also known as germ theory, this belief assumes that practically all bacteria are harmful, and that if a sanitary, bacteria-free environment can be maintained, humans will not “contract” illness.

It is this flawed germ theory that is responsible for the creation of modern interventions such as antibiotic drugs, chemical pesticides and herbicides, vaccines, and antibacterial soaps, all of which obstruct the human body’s natural microbiome in various ways. Hand sanitizing gels and wipes are another byproduct of germ theory, which kill the bacteria that naturally lives on human skin and protect it against disease by maintaining a proper acidic pH.

As we have been saying here at NaturalNews for years now, all germs are not evil, and the human body is not a sterile environment that develops disease because it becomes contaminated with germs. And this new study simply proves this point by demonstrating that germs play a vital role in preventing disease.

Think of it as a war between two countries — the human body’s microbiome against pathogenic invaders. Without a robust microbiome that is rich in beneficial bacteria, the human body is unable to resist the continual onslaught of harmful pathogens that fight against it from both inside and outside the body. And the key to winning the war is to maintain a proper microbial balance, which includes eating plenty of probiotic foods; avoiding antibiotic drugs and toxic chemicals; and getting plenty of rest, clean water, and natural sunlight.
