Life and toxicity in a chemo ward.

***Of people born after 1970,
statistically, 1-in-2 will devlop a cancer.***

I've shared a room with others, each of of us dutifully following the oncologist's direction, connected to a drip that's feeding toxins into a vein in the left forearm. The site of entry had first to be flushed with a saline solution, because should the chemo come into direct contact with surrounding tissue, severe internal damage would occur.

I've later experienced the resultant feeling of helplessness and despair as daily I consumed the other 6 prescribed tablets: a hormone tablet to replace a shattered hormone source,  one intended to overcome the nausea, one to protect the filtering kidneys, and others to further protect the body from opportunist viruses and bacteria from its now defenseless state.

If I don't treat my body in a manner that it accepts with joy, there are many others who are only too pleased with their artifice to experiment on it. Despite the trillions spent on research, and you may have read stories of remarkable discoveries in cancer treatment:  they have more or less come to nought.

I've battled with internal demons that frightened me with "what if?"s.

Then paradoxically, along with an ensuing drug induced deafness, comes the enlightenment that things don't have to be this way.

And when the discovery is made, with certainty, that more people die of chemotherapy than they do of cancer, it's a startling illumination that in my case has corrected a false perception of modern doctoring.

Each of these hellish treatments lasts an hour,
followed by four weeks giving the body
time to recover ... before the next onslaught.

I was scheduled seven treatments in all, but refused the remainder after the first one.

Needless to say, an oncologist wouldn't try this out on himself in order to experience it and empathise with his patients.

Many sources claim that after heart conditions and cancer, the third cause of death is prescription drugs. I now feel that treatment of cancer, and ensuing death by chemotherapy, elevates pharmacy to the prime cause of our early demise.

The smoke and mirrors used by conjurers to fool an audience have been transformed into the modern day illusion of pharmacy to which student doctors must bend the knee in medical school.

How does this leave you feeling? Are you able to even consider the idea?

For me it took a cancer, a dance with lymphoma,
to shatter the illusion that conventional wisdom had given me.

Statistically, one of every two people born after 1960
will be offered the only state sanctioned treatment offered
for advanced he or she will develop.

A couple of recent series on television have put people on a junk food diet. In only three weeks, two persons have developed life-threatening symptoms. In the other program a volunteer, from being healthy, developed full-blown type 2 diabetes in just 4 weeks.

It was undeniable proof that what you eat, to a very large extent, can influence the health of your mind and body.

I was fortunate in working for a company that paid my salary. In another case  one might not be so fortunate, a life turned completely upside down for both health and financial reasons.

Be careful what you eat my friends.

It may be a hardship giving up what you think you like, but the long-term benefits are undeniable, and I can testify to that.

Tacit Conspiracy

Eugene Halliday coined this phrase in his book of the same name.

The male is stressed in his initiative and logic.

The female, stressed in her

feeling sensitivity and her

physical body has access

to the memories of all her ancestors.

They're recorded in the protoplasm.

We each have all four aspects,

and the differences between us

are matters of stress only.

Some men may stress

more in their female side,

and women more in their male side.

During the reign of the logical Greeks,

they were convinced that women

didn't even have souls.

Fortunately we are more enlightened.

The poor male who has lost his freedom

and adheres rigidly to formal logic

can sometimes be overwhelmed

by the lack of formal logic in is spouse.

She has her own non-formal logic,

which quite often confounds even her.

This and that.

It's the biblical context that I find distasteful. My early years were pretty religion free. It's always a good idea to look at the roots of words so that we're clear about their meaning. It strips away the crap that religions attach to them. Sinning is only missing the mark. Easily done. I'm always at it. Catholic Church (we call the congregation left-footers) tried converting me but failed miserably. To the extent that I couldn't even pronounce the word 'god'. Since then I've come across some lovely teachers who've helped clear the dross that the established church left me with. It's been suggested to me that anyone who goes to a divinity school to learn about god will quickly have any sense of spirituality stripped away from them.

I'm now comfortable with most of them, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Christianity, all come with a fresh insight into our human condition.

Have you read Benjamin Hoff's Tao of Pooh? Lovely little book, especially if you enjoyed Milne as a child.

It's been suggested to me that there are only a handful of spiritual books that lead us straight to the centre of our being who we are. The Tao Teh King, The Bhagavad Gita, John's Gospel, The Secret of the Golden Flower are god starters. Some marvellous symbolism to be explained in the Tarot Cards, and in the astrological signs.

And there's truth everywhere we look if we look with fresh open eyes. And I just love The Matrix. So much wisdom in a film that in many ways predicts the kind of synthetic gross-material-scientist world we're moving towards. It's the Age of Aquarius, and not the harmony and understanding that the lyrics in Hair predict. We're only just entering two thousand years of science (Aquarius is memory) if the boys with toys don't destroy it for us.

When you say you're not religious, what do you mean by religion? For me the 'lig' in re-ligion is a binder, it binds me back to the inner being who I am. Same as yoga, or yoker ... it's all in the words. As for belief, we all have some kind of belief. Even a nihilist believes in death.

Yes we are all one. God is shorthand for Absolute Sentient Power, as mentioned, In this power, from infinity we have sought a body, entered a spinning zone of this power and become soloed, ensouled. The waves on the ocean might look like little individuals, but without the ocean's water they couldn't exist.

So "In the beginning was the word" works on many levels. The 'B' is Hebrew for house, the 'gin' is the same as gyn, or eternal female, the Sophic sphere of the ancients. And the 'word' is a formative principle. It initiates an order into the potential of the orderless sphere. We couldn't even call past experiences to mind without the words with which to describe them. Words are the beginning of order, signified by the Greek Logos, the universe's logical structure.

And the best place for me to start has been a good etymological dictionary. The words we've been given from childhood have been loaded with emotional baggage, and I'm finding it empowering, very worthwhile to penetrate to the meaning of a word and make it my own instead of accepting the way it's been given to me.

There's so much more I could add, but we'll leave it there for now.

Love,
John

What do I eat?

Useful talk from Gabriel Cousens on the importance of raw food.

Studies made of several generations of cats on inappropriate diets, with very rapid deterioration in brain function, creating hyperactivity, auto-immune disorders, cancers, infertility, and massive jumps in undesirable aborted pregnancies, and they stopped purring. 

We point to many reasons for the general decrease in national health, but this is fairly convincing study of the effects of wrong diet. 

He claims that inappropriate diet is also bringing about reductions in dopamine receptors in the brain, making it more difficult to feel pleasure and thus increasing dramatically the incidence of alcohol and drug dependency, prescription or otherwise.   

It's not just cats. 1-in-7 couples nowadays in the UK are finding it difficult to conceive, attending to fertility clinics instead of to their diets. Incidences of autism and epilepsy are rising, children under 5 are on behaviour-modifying drugs. 

Where in a school of 700 we had just one on an inhaler for asthma, now it's rife. And to top it all, incidence of cancers has jumped to one in two.

We have a van parked in our street, with the label, "Just Eat." What does that mean? "Don't worry what goes into it, we'll take care of that"? 

Surely it's not just a few that can see it.

Perhaps easier for us oldies, because we've seen the disaster unfolding with each new generation of processed, chemically enhanced, hydrogenated, excessively sugared and salted, microwaved, fast food junkies clutching the soft drinks aggressivly advertised by corporations that have very little concern about the overall health of their customers.

You are not what you eat, but what you eat significantly affects the well-being of your body. Eat raw, stay away from refined products, excessive salt, inflammatory foods, chemical additives. Vegan if you can manage it.

Meaning of Life?

My teaching tells me that we have our being in a partless unifield of energy. We've gone solo, been ensouled, circumscribed by individuating forces. Why? Whatever we are in the time line is, in eternity, presented simultaneously. But because it's in a non-separate state of mutual interpenetration that the zen-Japanesists call jijimuge, it's necessary to become individualised, apparently separate by this circumscription in order to understand ourselves as separate entities.

"We are one" doesn't quite cover it, because it implies duality, one is the beginning of a sequence ... that there is a 2.

It's why, when the advaitist Shankara was presented with a gift by one of his pupils who said "I'd like to give you this" ... he responded with, "how can you give me anything, am I not you?"

St. Bruno, after whom the tobacco was cheekily named, was burnt at the stake for his heresy of spreading an earlier teaching.

"The nature of god is a circle,

of which the centre is everywhere,

and the perimeter is nowhere."

Church didn't like it, because it meant if god (shorthand for infinite sentient power) was at the centre of everyone, why would they need a church?

Though we're not burnt at stakes any longer, the modern day church of science has a similar hubris with its hallowed hospital halls, secretive language and rooms of experiment, and its pumped up specialists. People with integrity ... Andrew Wakefield's a good example ... who even dares to suggest that a study needs to be done to find out if there's a link between MMR and autism are ostracised. To this day it still hasn't been done, and the pharmaceutically influenced media continue to print falsities about his work.

Science is knowledge, and that's all it means, but when a paper gives a report that begins with "a scientific study has found" it's enough to draw the general population in.

We need more knowledge, not less. We don't have enough of it. This is clearly seen with 5G, with pharmacy, with rainforest rape, with planetary pollution.

Whatever is without is also within.

A difficult concept to grasp until we're able to expand our being beyond our skin isolation, to include others in it. In general, with their stress on sensitivity, women have this ability greater than men ... the ability to feel the result of their actions in other beings.

 'Being'. 'B' represents a house in the Hebrew alphabet. Every spirit seeks a body, to be housed, in order to develop its timeline. Doesn't mean it's written in stone. It's like a map and we're free to move around it with our eternal presence.

It's why one of my my matras is 

"Thank you, I must have needed that."

Telling the truth

How to really listen.

The "Rogers" he mentions here

is Carl Rogers.

When was the last time we went

a whole day without telling a lie?

One of Peterson's 12 Rules for life is, 

"Tell the truth,

at least don't lie."

This talk explains it further.

"If you're having a truthful

conversation, it will make

both of you better,

psychologically healthier."

"The exchange of truth is curative."

If a healthy mind is a healthy body,

this is an interesting idea, right?

If you're suffering what

is said to be a terminal disease,

it's an extremely 

important thing to remember.

"As above, so below"

Psychosomatic:

Psyche affects soma,

mind affects body.

You can use every plant based 

curative medicine in the world, 

go the full bifter with Gerson therapy,

but if the mind is full of untruth

the true function of the body 

will also be compromised.

forgive and remember,

let go of grudges,

don't bother the mind with crusades,

be at peace in your mind.

This peace will reflect itself in your body.

Love,

John.

5 Senses

In Buddhist philosophy,

the mind is the organ of fear.

Why?

... because for the individual who

wishes to safeguard the body,

the universe is a dangerous place.

The five senses are specialised cells,

specialised to increase awareness of danger.

It's not only sight,

but every specialised sense organ.

The gut, from where we 

get the phrase "gut feeling",

senses the whole gamut of frequencies.

But out of this gamut of frequencies

that hit our bodies, the specialised senses

pick up only a very limited range,

the ones corresponding with

a sensed danger that they've

been developed to recognise

and give the body

an opportunity to deal with.

What are inflammation and Cancer?

5-a-Day: this government recommendation falls far short of what we require. The teaching in medical schools is primarily on pharmaceuticals. At my final discharge meeting, this time with a hematologist I asked her if she'd received any tuition on nutrition. Her answer: "Oh, that's a different department." 

"All illness begins with inflammation" is one of the basic tenets in the ancient system of Ayurvedic medicine. And what if all inflammation begins with toxicity? 

The source of toxicity may be through radiation, bad or lack of nutrition, it may be introduced through the skin surface, the lungs, or just as significantly, through stress.

Because of toxicity, the body's system becomes unbalanced. Inflammation is due to the increased activity of the cells around the area of injury. They work hard in order to multiply, divide and replace their fallen comrades. Mothers feel the healthy heat of the rapidly multiplying cells of the baby in-utero. Thermography picks up the unhealthy presence of rapidly multiplying cancer cells. 

There is heat generated in this rapid multiplication of replacement cells. When the cells repair a breakdown in the organism because of the death of their co-workers, they have to sub-divide in order to do so. As they sub-divide, they not only generate heat, but after repeated division get smaller, weaker. When we persist in subjecting the body to unceasing attack by toxins — which are supporting and increasing this inflammatory process — the  cells are over-taxed, and at a critical point they revolt. 

You are now the enemy. Cells are revolting against a rotten government. They no longer take orders from the nervous system, they cut off the nerve supply. They become recidivist, primitive, monocellular entities, taking orders only from themselves. The nervous system is blocked, but they carry on being fed by the bloodstream. And the revolutionary group grows. Ungovernable by normal nerve stimuli, they multiply out of control.

There is all the information necessary in each one of your cells to produce a clone of your body, but because of the pressure being exerted on them by you, the host, they carry on in insularity, dividing through their self-motivated, primitive method of sugar dependent fermentation. No longer do they share in the vital economy of the body.

Now we are bad governors. Like idiots we attack the revolt, the cancer, like a foolish government attacks a rebellious people. We've seen the devastating results of this unintelligent approach with certain middle eastern governments which have attempted to convert people by poisoning them.

As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul, is a saying attributed to the hermetic philosopher Hermes Trismegistus. When emotions, ideas and impulses disagree, affecting body chemistry, or when other forms of toxicity are introduced into the body, it becomes the battlefield, and at its own level, microscopic examination reveals just as much devastation. 

We squirt things into our organism, killing it with treatment. We radiate it, laser it, but the one thing we don’t do is give up the bad government.

But then, grossly dissatisfied with the way things are going, the damage being done, if the treatment we give the body is too noxious, there can come a time when we are thrown back onto our own centre, the centre of higher intelligence. From this centre, we can start behaving ourselves better and the government improves. Diet, exercise, emotional patterns and habits change. With the absence of toxicity and the increase of nutrition, cancer cells abandon their takeover bid and once again begin to co-operate. 

When the focus is placed whole-heartedly on an intelligent solution to the problem, the universe opens up its ocean of possibilities. The person of religious persuasion might call it God showing the way. Another may call it cosmic ordering. It lies for me in the mystery of unfolding in the body, and in our intimate connection with the universal field of power which, with our help, works to bring us back to full health.

Finding the pearl

What produces the patterning
in the structure of the crystal?

What about the snowflake?
It is said that no two are identical,
and yet each are perfectly formed.

If the same is true of plants and animals,
could this all be by some blind cosmic accident?

Am I to believe that if you give enough monkeys
enough type-writers that they could eventually
produce the works of a Shakespeare?

For some nihilists this is their reality.
Would the monkeys look quizzically for a even second
at the typewriter before going off
to find a tasty jackfruit?

From the primordial soup
to modern man, there's been
a development in complexity,
a push towards an ideal perfection.

This ideal exists in potential.
The potential is in the continuum of power,
where it's always been.

It's said by some that Christ tapped into it
because he had a supreme understanding
of the human condition and operated from
the highest frequency in the universe
... Love ... to heal its out-of-trueness.

It's also true that there are some who believe
that our 3 billion years of evolution
has produced an unsatisfactory result.
Now that the human genome has been mapped,
in his book Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari
with great hubris predicts the artificial
upgrading of the human being.

And Elon Musk has already begun
experimentally connecting human brains up
to computers using fine filament inserts,
promising untold power to the experimentees.

Are we to believe the hype,
when eggheads trying to hammer out
nature's secrets haven't cured
cancer or the common cold
... with disregard for the suffering created
and little or no awareness of the
end results of each technology?
There's more to this mystery of life
than the particles that
present themselves to us
through the five-sense data mechanism.
