One of the issues I have found with any kind of self improvement. Is that you think it would be great to do some thing or other. You move to do that. But then you realise there was a powerful reason why you have chosen that thing as a kind of support mechanism.
It makes change slow. My priority goal at the moment is to push ahead a bit out of my comfort zone in relation to music. I want to push beyond scales. I love scales. But I need to do more than scales. Need to get music as songs and life force going.
So I planned to practice music before I do any watching TV. Go to sleep for the evening. Between about 18:00 and 22:00. I sleep in two sections. Wake up completely exhausted (eaten three cereal bars and some meat the whole day!) and watch TV to wake up a bit, no energy to play music. Not even enough to meditate. So TV before playing the intro to 'Nothing Else Matters'. The pattern re- initialises.
The things I have successfully broken off. Were not my own choice like that. They weren't like "well I need to change x habit to encourage y habit". They were just incredible deep and sudden realisations. Sometimes pushed by events. So I got allergic to chocolate. Stopped that. I had alcohol, felt ill and slept fifteen hours. Stopped that. But I have noticed many times with many different things. Assuming a person can change a habit through a kind of will power is not useful. Change happens due to emotions changing. As a kind of indirect effect of a positive movement in ones foundations.
I go to the gym for the pure love of going. Never had to motivate myself to do that (I realise a lot of people do, but I have a deep aggression that feels like utter relief when it is gotten rid of for a while). A lot of positive behaviours. Prayer, meditation, dream interpretation etc. Change things incredibly slowly. Often working by just making a person a little more happy. So avoiding the absolute powerless energy drain of despair. Meditation changes things partly I think by just making things more intense. So a person is more disgusted and angry at their own bad habits. And those habits change in singular moments of clarity.
A bit of the wisdom that I think can add real benefit to peoples lives. It seems to me men are meant to put together this kind of wisdom to share with their kids. But the world is very dysfunctional and not a lot of people are having kids.
Anyway, just thoughts. Not the main point I wanted to discuss.
Healing and it's many complexities.
The more I have gone into spirituality. The more there has been a kind of nagging annoyance that one of the things that motivates people into it, one of the claims, or expectations of the whole area. Goes seriously unmet. That would be, the idea that we can go into energy therapies or something like that. And that our health issues will be healed and improved. It seems a lot of the time. That regardless of this expectation. If someone has a serious disease. Arthritis, Eczema, Type 1 diabetes. They are stuck with that. They are stuck with the surgeries, medication, and other medical supports.
It really rubs me the wrong way. Jesus never met someone and said he could not heal them because of their preincarnative choices. It just feels like something is amiss to me in that energy therapies in general are so apparently inefficient when judged on this standard. I do not have firm claims as to what energy therapy can and can't do. I do not know if it is changing something that would be considered very powerful by the Law of One contact. Like someones theological feelings. But what it cannot seem to do, as far as I am aware. Is heal something that is as serious as a lot of people live with.
Reading book V of the Law of One. In Carla's written excerpt before the session 60 fragment. She talks about how her Arthritis flowed with her will to live. When she felt unbelievably down due to Dons death and didn't want to continue. This does have the benefit of, at least, Carla's real and lived experience.
Another thing that annoys me about the entire area, is when it is discussed by the Law of One. It is one of the only areas that insists on a paradigm that is difficult for me to access. While I suppose the fact they had a support group there and were doing magickal practices is also this. Much of the Law of One is very accessible. It talks about theology. The archetypes, in my view, lead in an almost atheistic direction. The potentiator is about the subconscious mind. The transformation even more so. These things are things that a secular paradigm works with (although much of the terminology of the 'secular paradigm'. Comes from Carl Jung who was extremely spiritual in his outlook and got a lot of visions). The subconscious mind I have found to be a tool that is both useable and clearly "there".
As a side point here, I suppose NDE's do, in some way, prove, a larger spiritual reality.
The Law of One even makes a comment along these lines:
Questioner: This brings out the point of the purpose for the physical incarnation, I believe. And that is to reach a conviction through your own thought processes as to a solution to problems and understandings in a totally unbiased or totally free situation with no proof at all or anything that you would consider proof, proof being a very poor word in itself. Can you expand on my concept?
Ra: I am Ra. Your opinion is an eloquent one although somewhat confused in its connections between the freedom expressed by subjective knowing and the freedom expressed by subjective acceptance. There is a significant distinction between the two.
This is not a dimension of knowing, even subjectively, due to the lack of overview of cosmic and other inpourings which affect each and every situation which produces catalyst. The subjective acceptance of that which is at the moment and the finding of love within that moment is the greater freedom.
That known as the subjective knowing without proof is, in some degree, a poor friend for there will be anomalies no matter how much information is garnered due to the distortions which form third density.
With the energy work and preincarnative distortion stuff (which is very subjective, at least as far as I can tell. As it is experienced!). This is actually starting to shape up to be a contradiction within the material itself.
Questioner: You are saying, then, that the physical distortions that the instrument experienced are part of a balancing process? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The physical distortions are a result of the instrument’s not accepting fully the limitations placed prior to incarnation upon the activities of the entity once it had begun the working. The distortions caused by this working, which are inevitable given the plan chosen by this entity, are limitation and, to a degree consonant with the amount of vital and physical energy expended, weariness, due to that which is the equivalent in this instrument of many, many hours of harsh physical labor.
This is why we suggested the instrument’s thoughts dwelling upon the possibility of its suggesting to its higher self the possibility of some slight reservation of energy at a working. This instrument at this time is quite open until all resources are quite exhausted. This is well if desired. However, it will, shall we say, shorten the number of workings in what you may call the long run.
The only bit relevant is the first few lines of the answer.
In the last section of this post I will talk about German New Medicine and a bit more about the idea/ paradigm. That a lot of these issues in some way come down to the idea that "everything is perfect".
My point about this excerpt though is... how are we meant to understand and access that? I suppose we just know. How is Carla meant to know what her "pre incarnative distortions" are?
Arthritis is a very restricting disease. I think new age paradigms about what it is about talk about that a lot. Carla is in her position where very little of her life is under her control. Her life is very much "restricted". She cannot break off and go do something else. And a lot of the restrictions impose on her life and emotional state a great deal as well.
Carla, didn't have kids. And this is a significant thing to be upset about. She also lost her reproductive window, since she was 25, to Don. This is not something that I would do to a woman. It would be pretty bad. It is something that would be considered, and I consider, a morally negative set of choices. It is rightfully considered a negative thing to use up a girls reproductive window, for like a decade, and not wed her. Thereby potentially ending her ability to have kids. I don't know in what world this would not be known about.
I am not likely to have kids. At the moment, all I would settle for, in good conscience. Is either a girl who physically could not have kids (because women often change their mind when their biology kicks in at 30), free will isn't a strong principle when it comes to womens hormones; or something short term. And/ or a friendship. But I have learned women think they can change your mind when they can't, they fantasize. So I would be wary of even the friendship.
I would like kids, and if a girl was able to have kids and wanted to make it work. I would fully discuss the limitations of my disability. Which I think would end in the practical realisation that it is not likely or possible. But if it turned out it was for some reason (like opulent wealth of something), that would be good.
But everything that happened lead to the Law of One contact. This creates a few confusing issues. Did this set of choices, that I think can be defined as morally negative. Lead to the good result of the Law of One contact?
Possibly not. Don and Carla could have stayed in contact in a professional manner, if not lovers. But the entire situation I think adds a difficult dimension to the whole higher life planning philosophies.
German New Medicine. Working the paradigm.
Reading the Law of One, Don's questioning on these areas. It seemed to me that the three of them were having trouble understanding how illness can in itself be an expression of perfection. I.e. the perfection of the Creator.
German New Medicine offers some perspective here I think.
In German New Medicine, the body adapts in a way that completely makes sense that causes the illness. But this is a very rational and in some cases preferable adaption. It only doesn't fit because of the world we live in today that interferes.
As an example. When a mouse runs to get away from a cat, when it has finished, it often lays down and experiences a kind of asthma for a few days. Another example is the idea of someone that feels threatened at home, so their bladder grows as a way of "marking" their territory.
The one for type 1 diabetes, would be that a person experiences a lot of stress as a child, and because this stress requires an unbelievable amount of energy to psychologically meet. This breaks the pancreas in a sense.
Again, this still does not really solve anything to me. It is not practically applicable. Dr Hamer, who created this system with the aid of a lot of brain scans and good evidence. Was able to heal people with these theories apparently. But how the rest of us do so is not known.
It strikes me, that if a lot of these illnesses are based on a kind of perfection. Based on being subjected to stresses where a psychologically healthy person will shut down. Like, the child that experiences that stress and has no stress response is probably not healthy. The only self that is not effected is the one that does not have a self to hurt. Sensitivity is human.
But a lot of people, in our current society and economy. Are subjected to ongoing stresses of these types. For instance, in the lockdown. A lot of kids were not able to leave the house and go to school so they were killed by abusive caregivers.
In that way, a lot of these breakdowns can be seen as kind of healthy. If we are all part of one big system. We are like the cells of a body. The breakdown shows where the problem is. Or indicates an area to investigate further.
This whole thing does motivate people to solve the overall problem. If a bunch of people get ill, they all investigate the world from that place, identify the issue, and say they vote well, or promote the right philosophy. Eventually this becomes like a healing agent. They heal the society, and those that are not aware there is a problem get the eventual improvement of a healthier society. The whole body improves.
So I suppose it is kind of perfect. But in general. It is all... very unsatisfying.
