such harsh words..for myself too

[Guest guest]

As we lay just before dawn, with the big low moon to the northwest

partially hidden by slow moving thin strips of clouds, making the

snow below shine in a really lovely quiet way, it seemed anyone could

easily see how strikingly beautifully interwoven earth and sky,

Nature and people are. As there was ever only one long day among the

stars, and its here now.

I said, " I wish I could say things in a way that was less

inflammatory and more kind and encouraging to people, as you do

often. "

My concubine replied, " Why? The sugar just rolls right off your

tongue. " Ooo, ha ho, funny and witty.

I was referring to my as usual, rough and harsh comments on the

inefficacy of many modern pharmacueticals in particular, and the over-

selling and over-pricing of the monopoly of the modern for-profit

health care model. If acupuncturists and other CAM practitioners had

the lethality, side effects and other poor performances of the

allopathic machinery, we would be rounded up and burnt at the stake,

or run out of town on a rail.

But see, here I go again, my blood is up, I'm on my high horse, and

ignoring the fact that everywhere, health care workers wish deep in

their hearts for success in every person who comes to them for help.

I over-stress about only being able to provide a little relief, and

if there is no improvement, I try to refuse compensation. You do your

best.

We pace and ponder, review, rethink; appearance, methodology,

insight, history, related cases and studies, asking for help, check

my own mind or energy, everything, to get a handle on the problem. To

help, regardless of what modality or discipline achieves it.

But I can't beat myself up too much sometimes because in the mix,

everyone's responsible somewhat for the common sense activities that

enable good health for themselves and the world-system, altho

increasingly, many are real victims or casualties.

Moderation, a free and relaxed attitude toward others, a sense that

a sustainable world is achievable and worthwhile, love for and from

other people and animals, a non-toxic environment, enough basic

quality food air and drink, interaction and body movement or

manipulation. Every once in a while waking up and just humming or

dancing a few steps or just feeling good and happy to be alive. That

for a moment, life isn't hellish. The universe is on your side. As

they say, dancing at the feet of my Lord.

So I hurt by ranting to innocent gentle people about truly damaging

trends of the world; dehumanization, centralization, pollution,

mechanation, verticalization, manipulation, multinational

misinformation.

I'm sorry we're in a mass extinction and probably begginning a

demographic winter, but we are seeing the effects in the clinic. We

can use chelation, or smilax(tu fu ling tang) to detoxify heavy metal

poisoning and dredge the meridians- clear wind heat damp bi with bld

stag., or keep the poison out of the environment as much as possible

in the first place.

I forget the source, but this may apply to both economic and social

engineering theories: " Human's thinking, their abstractions and

logical inferences of sciences, could prove that not only is the moon

made of green cheese, but that astronauts need to carry crackers.

Truth or non-truth doesn't matter. They are reduced to premises,

beautifully fantastic fantasies built of symbolic languages. "

Truth or non-truth doesn't matter...2+2=5...the customer is always

right.

Peace, respectfully submitted, fran

Shee....and here I was thinking that everything was right with the

world, that we are evolving at just the right pace for collective

experience to transform into understanding.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..(for some, we'll see). The right pace is maybe not fast enough. But it is true isn't it, so much experience and knowledge is at our use, like never before. Wonderful. salvador_march <salvador_march wrote:
