The old line idea ascribed to Hippocrates was to let food be your medicine. It sounds so simple, but it is much more profound than we realize, and modern medicine is a complete betrayal of these principles. My own MD father was a vaccine skeptic for that reason, as well as being a critic of the general corruption of medicine by big pharma (this was in the fifties and sixties!), and psychopharmaca in particular. He and a circle of medical friends were “on” to this problem then, and, as a psychiatrist he pointedly committed himself to talk therapy only. No wonder Dr. Peter Breggin is a hero of mine today!
On my TV screen of “my life,”and “the world,” the Covid and subsequent ‘vaccine,’ fiasco was writ large. In terms of Venn diagrams, we always experience ourselves in the context of many circles, one which is my inner reality, and which then in turn has overlaps, shared experiences, with many others. There are small circles, like my family or my school or my place of work, my church and so on. And there are large circles like the world. One interesting outlook on this whole issue, how we are connected to shared experiences is explored in Jane Roberts’ book, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, and I would suggest it is one of the most helpful books you can read about shared experiences, which includes all of war and pestilence and natural disasters. If only for a moment you could consider that you chose this lifetime experience, the whole thing comes in a different light.
10. The secret of salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. ²No matter what the form of the attack, this still is true. ³Whoever takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this the truth. ⁴Whatever seems to be the cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. ⁵For you would not react at all to figures in a dream you knew that you were dreaming. ⁶Let them be as hateful and as vicious as they may, they could have no effect on you unless you failed to recognize it is your dream. (ACIM, T-27.VIII.10:1-6)
We can only ever have our life. We cannot live anyone else’s life. This life I chose is my best lesson, and in the final analysis the only question is do I make it all about me, myself and I, the unholy trinity, or do I choose to listen to the Holy Spirit, and make it about the Holy Trinity, Ego or Spirit, Love or Murder, and so on, or as A Course In Miracles says: One problem, one solution.
Specifics blot out the Whole
If you don’t watch yourself, specifics blot out the whole, because you get lost by not seeing the forest for the trees. It is helpful to realize that this is the defense mechanism of the mind that chooses an ego-identity. The ego is a lie, that must be heavily defended to maintain itself.
Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. ²But part of it is now unnatural. ³It does not look on everything as one. ⁴It sees instead but fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the partial world you see. ⁵The purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish to see. ⁶All hearing but brings to your mind the sounds it wants to hear.
3. Thus were specifics made. ²And now it is specifics we must use in practicing. ³We give them to the Holy Spirit, that He may employ them for a purpose which is different from the one we gave to them. ⁴Yet He can use but what we made, to teach us from a different point of view, so we can see a different use in everything.
All of a sudden it is clear why Jesus made a big deal about having “ears to hear” and “eyes to see” for the body’s eyes do not hear or see. They are part of the body and thus will only witness to “this world,” not to His Kingdom, for His Kingdom is non-duality, and not in this dualistic world, nor knowable from within it: to those outside the kingdom it all comes in parables. This is why in the Course it is such an important concept that we bring our problems to him, not drag him down into our problems. Jesus does not fix flats.
Systems thinking
Systems thinking is one step towards a more holistic view of things, but in the end, nothing in this world is Whole. Non-duality does not arise from duality. It is the thought of separation, the Course’s “tiny, mad idea” through which duality seems to arise from non-duality, but it remains only a perceptual reality as long as we cling to that separation thought by which we carve out a piece from the Reality of Heaven, and go play individual personhood, as a body in this world. But systems thinking can be helpful step towards allowing us to see a bigger context, and not be so trapped in the specifics.
Vaccination as a concept is all about specifics. It is a betrayal of what we are, even as a body in the world. Our immune system, if it is anything, is a highly complex multi-variate system, and if you sub-optimize it for one or a few variables, you throw the system out of whack. Medicine does not understand this, for it is stuck in Newtonian, reductionist perceptions, in which we simply prefer to believe that a single “thing,” causes a disease, and then we devise something that defeats the symptom we identify with the disease, and we declare ourselves a savior of the world from yet another disease. Except it does not work that way, and this is often times revealed by focusing on All Cause Mortality (ACM) rather than the incidence of the targeted disease.
If we use abstract concepts like multi-variate complex systems, many people’s eyes glaze over. However, a simple example will do. If we design a car for fuel economy only, we will probably arrive at a three-wheeler with room for at most one passenger, and maybe a handbag, a limited top speed, and little else, like this Volkswagen, claiming 260 MPG. Not overly practical, and few people would buy it.
Vaccination is Sub-optimization
Vaccines train the immune system to respond to specific threats and generally degrade their overall performance, so they compromise the immune system. This comes to light every time researchers focus on all cause mortality, rather than the incidence of the target illness. In short, vaccination is like shooting ourselves in the foot with a bazooka. Here are some important links and clues, but I do not want to rehash the details. If you are interested go to the original sources:
Dr. Andrew Wakefield was a doctor and now a film maker (e.g. Vaxxed, Protocol-7) about the problems with vaccines. Once he began to doubt, he could never unsee what he saw, and he ended up producing some remarkable documentaries.
Dr. Paul Thomas began to observe in his pediatric practice that unvaccinated children were healthier. Since then he has become a critic pointing us away from vaccination towards the concept of healthy living. He has produced some really good evidence about the problems of childhood vaccinations. He is now associated with Children’s Health Defense.
Marc Girardot has a book out, The Needle’s Secret, and he publishes a substack about his Bolus Theory, which is highly recommended. His contribution is about the specific damage caused by the vaccination process itself. He does not even speak about the issues of specific vaccinations.
Denis Rancourt, researched the pattern of the spread of Covid-19, and found it to be incompatible with the hypothesis of a respiratory virus, and the results of this very solid, hard science make a lie of the whole story.
There is the nutritional story of the Whole Foods, Plant-Based diet, as the most anti-inflammatory diet, and the specific research about vitamin D reducing Covid risk by 80%. This is circumstantial proof that the issue is not what it was made out to be. This affirms terrain theory, and contradicts germ theory.
Jon Rappoport summed it all up nicely on his substack, as only he could.
When in doubt, there’s always Ed Dowd, who looks at it through the eyes of statistical research. Check out the Humanity Projects on his company’s websites.
There is the book Turtles All The Way Down, which basically lays bare the entire sordid history of vaccination, and demonstrates conclusively that the story makes no sense at all. It is all a completely counterproductive fight against symptoms, not recognizing that the so-called childhood ilnesses are the training ground for a body that is trying to live in the world. What medicine does conceptually, is having us skip kindergarten, grade school and high school and sending us off to battle.
There is another major approach, which has been widely ignored, but which deserves your careful attention, especially in this political season. It is the analysis of the biological dimension of the whole story by JJ Couey, who at one point was on staff with Children’s Health Defense. He is right on when he says that RFK Jr, is in effect keeping the problem alive, by fighting the safety of the current mRNA vaccine, but not the vaccination mythology. We have no business criticizing any human culture as “primitive,” for their particular beliefs and practices, for we are doing the exact same things. Our shamans have medical degrees and wear white coats, but they keep us worshipping in the church of fear for invisible enemies that only they can fight, except for attacking our own body in the attempt to do so. Last night again, I got a story of someone who has had Covid 4-5 times. No, they are vaccine injured. Our best hope on that level is that the damage will be so massive that it can no longer be ignored, and we finally stop with the vaccination voodoo, which cannot work. See the substack quoted below and watch the JJ Couey video at least twice.
As a side comment, it is very interesting how Trump almost hired RFK Jr to do a vaccine safety committee, but Bill Gates dissuaded him. Then RFK Jr momentarily hired JJ Couey, but eventually retreated and is keeping the false mythology alive. He has some good ideas, but he is missing the big one.And there is endless research about the harms of the covid vaccines in particular, which is actually the least important, for the issue is not that one vaccine, oh whoops, is bad. The issue is that vaccination is a stupid idea, yet medicine has been getting away with it for a hundred years, for pharma companies and doctors make money off selling the illusion. RFK Jr has been on the beat with his children’s health defense, here he tells the story of Bill Gates’s vaccine murders in Africa: 10x more deaths among the vaccinated, just not from the target disease, so again if you widen the aperture, the story falls apart.
There are many more. Slowly but surely the world is waking up to the problem, but it is helpful to think of the parable, of how and why we buy into these stories, and how the magician (the ego, Satan or the Devil) always uses specifics to distract our attention from what is really going on. Ask what´s the upshot? You will eventually start seeing through the parable. The Course speaks of the laws of the ego as the “laws” of Chaos, because the chaos of the house that is divided against itself, make no sense, except if you see the pattern and realize it is time to make another decision.
Conclusion
Specifics are a defense against seeing wholeness, because we see ourselves as specific, a specific, separate individual, and anything that challenges that view of the matter is a threat. This is why the argument about the badness of these specific vaccines that the world is now upset about is almost irrelevant. If you even begin to think of wholeness, you are challenging this outlook. And yet, even on the level of our physical experience, we can begin to see wholeness more if we reflect on the whole system.
