We went out to eat last night to celebrate Elijah's sixth birthday. We had great time and Elijah got a free piece of pie. It means I don't have many dishes to do today. I am a little late getting started on this blog. It is not because I had more chores to do. Its probably due to that extra cup of coffee I had before the chores started. I love that early part of the Morning when we sit around preparing for the day. Sometimes I do the crossword puzzle, sometimes we chat. We discovered our phone was out last night and it is still out. Jamie and I don't have a cell phone. Naomi does. Trouble is we are in a dead zone. Rarely can Naomi get enough signal to call out. Today, as luck would have it, she was able to call out. Hopefully, we will have phone service soon.
I wish I were a prophet sometimes. Although, there is little hint of it in the main stream media, there is reason to believe a world wide banking collapse could commence anytime. I don't think we will get through the year 2014 without fundamental change.
If the old world collapses, what then? I have often thought we needed a network of learning centers to help us reorient our thinking. How do we do that when we have no idea what is going to happen? We need a complete psychological, philosophical, medical, technical, nutritional, environmental overhaul. I probably forgot something but I am sure you got the picture. Once were out of the matrix, we will perceive a new world.
We don't know what is going to happen but we do know the world that we see now is insane. Basic to any learning center would be helping people see the world with love. What does that mean and where do we start?
I think we need to start with our bodies. Although, we are learning that we are not bodies but spirit; our bodies are very real to us and they are our point of reference in the world. Our bodies have been terribly neglected. We spend billions and billions on healthcare. Yet we have made little progress towards making a healthy populace. When medicine married capitalism it lost its soul. Medical practitioners deserve a decent living like the rest of us; however, profit cannot be their motive. I know many people in the healing arts and I don't know anybody who is driven by profit. Yet the superstructure made up of insurance companies, drug companies, equipment manufactures, banks, hospital chains, some clinics exist only to make money.
Over the last two thousand years we have lost much in the healing arts. First it was the church that attempted to erase all traditional healing they could not themselves control. Then a miss-application of science occurred that led to an absurd form of reductionism, about processes, we barely were beginning to understand. Then, finally, capitalism paralyzed any real progress. If money can't be made it is not done.
So I would think the first place to focus would be the healing of the body {with awareness that the body and mind are one}. There is a resurgence of knowledge in the healing arts. We are relearning things that were lost and ancient methods of healing are becoming known. An understanding of nutrition, alone, could revolutionize how we see illness. We need to start over and see our bodies as part of nature and truly understand what optimal functioning is. We have to discontinue separating the function of the mind from the body. All healing begins in the mind. At the minimum the mind has to have the intent for the body to heal, if healing is to take place.
I can envision a group of healers [representing many approaches and disciplines] coming together and forming communities to attend to the healing of the populace. I would expect that the attitude would be "we are learning". We are learning to heal bodies and learning to live on the earth in a sane way. I would imagine that the healing centers would be near a place where plentiful organically raised foods of good quality are available.
I would expect these learning centers to expand their focus to all aspects of learning needed to live in a world created by love. We will need help in giving up our old beliefs. We don't realize yet how much our old unfounded beliefs are holding us back. It is a very exciting time. We will soon be stepping out into a new world.
Love and Peace, Gregg
