“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself or herself” Leo Tolstoy.
I will be going down the rabbit hole a bit more on this post. If you undergo a physical trauma then you need a hospital trauma unit and that is where modern medical care excels. Alternative medicine is about maintaining health for everyday life, but it is framed around aspect of our bodies that are ignored by modern science. Much of allopathic medicine is about intelligent guesswork and assumptions based on everyone being a similar model of the human body ‘machine.’ What is omitted from this is the simple fact that we are a mass of electromagnetic frequencies. It is not just neurons sending electrical signals to trigger a chemical cascade across a synaptic gap. The quantum truth is that solidity as we collectively believe it is an illusion! (More details about this in next post on Quantum Reality – I covered it little in previous posts of The Non-solid universe 1-4 and Reality 1-4.)
The story I gave in the past two posts concerning Homeopathy isn’t the only medical practice that has been suppressed over the course of a century and more. Most eastern medicine that predates western orthodox medicine has also been similarly discounted by the mainstream, until relatively recently. Anyone who practices Yoga and follows eastern philosophies of holistic health will know the various traditions. For most westerners, however, this is still an area of ‘woo-woo’ even though they do not understand what it is that they are denouncing. I am forever amazed at the strength of rejection that people have for ideas that they reject but of which they know little or even nothing. It is like some authority figure that rejects a book they have never read based only on their perception of what they think it is about.
If you ever go to far east you will find that a majority of people accept and even visit traditional naturopathic practitioners when they have an ailment, just as they have done for centuries. We used to have them here in the west before the age of enlightenment when science took over as the authority on everything and denounced older practices as superstition. These older ideas were not technological and not focused on the Newtonian body as a machine with parts to be repaired, but curiously, they did serve as the roots for the modern orthodox medical systems. For instance, much of modern pharmaceutical medicine comes from the long traditions of the herbalists who had intimate knowledge of plants and their therapeutic effects. Healers in the eastern philosophies, and for that matter most indigenous ‘healers (Shamans),’ were not ‘witch-doctors that just waved bones around their patients and chanted spells, preying on the primitive beliefs of their patients. (I would argue that modern medicine is not much different, just more technological.)
What these healers understood was that the body is not just a simple machine with parts to be repaired, but understood it as a complex electromagnetic system of energy fields that need balance. Modern science (especially quantum physics) had validated this, but modern medicine is only now reluctantly accepting it. For instance, acupuncture was considered woo-woo when it became popular in the 1960s, but was ignored by the medical community since it does not fit modern chemical ideas. Eastern acupuncturists understand it well as interventions in stabilizing the bodies energy fields, but this idea had no place in the western Newtonian model. Curiously, many western M.D.s started using acupuncture in the 1980s, even though it was still considered woo-woo, simply because it worked. They still don’t truly understand it from the Newtonian model but figure science will eventually get around to explaining it. Well, science can explain it now, but breaking through entrenched belief systems is not going to occur overnight. Trying to bring metaphysical ideas into line with Newtonian mindsets is happening but not yet mainstream.
In a previous post (Reality 2 – A Spiritual perspective – How your thinking affects your reality) I talked about biologist Bruce Lipton. He talks about how our beliefs and expectations influence our health. Obviously the placebo effect (I talk about placebo’s in a previous post (Health – Sickcare 2) is a great example of this, so how can we know when an alternate treatment is valid and not just the placebo effect at work. The good news is using alternate treatments with younger children and animals, who have no expectations, can bypass this extraneous variable to show that the mind-body connection is much more real than we realize. The effects of EMFs that affect the body (see earlier posts Electro-Magnetic Radiation/Fields (EMR/EMFs) 3 – The Issue Deepens) is a great example of how things we cannot see can have profound effects on our bodies. The science behind this is quite intriguing (the next post) and once we accept it, shows us a reality of life that we all affect individually in creating a collective consciousness. We literally create our own reality. Once we realize that we will also realize just how insane our everyday actions are in creating a world where the hyper-consumer mindset domintates their beloved thinking. For example, in the very near future the communications technocrats will have 5G technology to give us uber-fast internet and cell phone coverage. I now so many people who are so excited by this and looking forward to streaming immense amounts of data to their mobile hand computers. (5G is the 5th generation of mobile networks, a significant evolution of todays 4G LTE networks. … Latency is the time taken for devices to respond to each other over the wireless network. 3G networks had a typical response time of 100 milliseconds, 4G is around 30 milliseconds and 5G will be as low as 1 millisecond.)
Apparently, our lives have gotten so busy that waiting an extra few seconds for something to load in 4G is worth the health risks to get it quicker in 5G. It is being touted by the corporations as the hottest breakthrough, yet questions as to its potential hazards are ignored. As I said earlier, we are EMF beings and the effects of regular cell towers, while disputed, is known and documented. The ultra-high frequencies of 5G make its dangers more likely. The shorter wavelengths needed for 5G mean we need more signal towers everywhere around us, meaning we are even more likely to get more exposure radiated by these higher frequencies and worse, being radiated continuously everywhere we get reception. This is bad enough from a physical health perspective, but when we consider it also from a metaphysical perspective the whole picture gets even more disturbing. So why should we even think about the metaphysical perspective, and what exactly is metaphysics anyway?
