Says 227 – One thing leads to another

My journey is one of self-discovery and of seeking the truth that lies hidden. Body is a manifestation of both our Spirit (+) positive polarity energy and our Soul (-) negative polarity energy. Polarity is the opposing yet expanding attributes of the same power or principal, ie left right, up down, positive negative. Besides the physical Body (matter) which is a lower vibrational or energy frequency, we also have our higher frequency energy chakras that support the physical Body, including our Auras.

227-randolph-stoneHaving experienced Craniosacral Therapy reminded me of my meditation experiences and also of working with the Body that would trigger long lost and denied emotions. That then reminded me of POLARITY THERAPY by Rudolph Stone.  Years ago, a friend lent me three of his books  that intrigued me. I tried to get copies but they were out of print so I photocopied hers. At the time, I saw that he had some valid points, but that he was also missing key elements regarding our Spirituality and especially our feelings and emotions that I was personally working on.227-chart
 

 

 

 

 

227-chakras

 

I feel that now might be the right time to read his work again and take the parts that I feel I can use and try to see what they do in healing my physical and Spiritual bodies. I also feel that I’ll be working more with my Chakras as I feel it’s now beginning to come together, but what the together really is, I have yet to discover.  It’s interesting that Stone also combines aspects of Eastern Spirituality and healing modalities with Western Spirituality and medical concepts. East meets west; much like what I did when I was working on healing my feelings and emotions.

Says 226 – Canada Remembrance day issue

226-poppyAfter my massage treatment, I decided to stop in at McDonalds and have a coffee and a muffin.  When I went in, I found the people watching TV and standing, waiting to the minute of silence at 11:00 am to remember and honour the Canadian and Commonwealth armed forces killed in WWI and WWII.    The counter girl refused to take my order, citing that it was almost time. I don’t believe in the traditions of Remembrance Day, any more than I believe in Xmas, Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, Canada day, etc. etc. so I turned and left.

I decided to drive a few blocks to Giant Tiger and pick up a few items they had on sale. When I walked in, there were people standing at attention waiting for 11:00 am. I was confused. I was going to turn around and leave, but the exit door was on the other side of the store. I started to walk down the aisle and a young female clerk, turned and put up her hand up for me to stop. She gave me a stern look looked and showed me her poppy, and pointed to a TV in the corner of the store. Not wanting to make a scene, although I felt controlled and trapped, I stopped, but casually looked at display bins beside me until the “patriotic” moment was over.

Later when I got home, I was feeling pissed off and I thought I had maybe picked up energy from my massage therapist, McDonalds, or the people at Giant Tiger. I tried to remove them, but it wasn’t them.

226-confusedIn hindsight I realized that it was my denials. What set me up was my confusion when I entered Giant Tiger as I was sure the televised propaganda was over, as they were into it when I was at McDonalds, and when I pulled into Giant Tiger my SUV said it was 11:05 am, so I was sure it was over as it only lasts one minute. Another was that of OBEYING the young woman and observing a patriotic tradition that I no longer believed in, and of not wanting to have her make a scene, and just because it only lasts a minute I also thought it’s no BIG deal, and not something to make a scene about as there were other customers nearby, and some were wearing poppies. It just goes to show that any denial is a BIG deal.

Later, I felt that this experience was just a dry run, a test for things to come, to prepare me that so the next time I experience something that confuses me, and I may think it’s no big deal, and I don’t want to make a scene, I’ll remember this experience and choose not to deny myself again.

226-greatest-fearPS: So guess what popped up on my Facebook page this morning..? Coincidence? … NOT !
lol

Says 225 – First Craniosacral Therapy treatment.

225-groundingI had previously searched the internet for what cranial therapy was, and there were several descriptions, so I didn’t know what to expect.  I’m not going to go into all the details I wrote in my journal, just enough to give you an idea of what I experienced. I had booked a 45 minute session and so after about 15 minutes of chit chat, she began the session. She said she had no idea what she was going to be doing and was just going to see what happens. I was fully clothed, shoes off, and lying on my back on a massage table.  She began by placing her hands on my feet and after a couple of minutes, I felt myself becoming grounded, a feeling that I’m familiar with during meditation.  After a few minutes, I felt my arms, shoulders begin to twitch and spasm, without pain. I wasn’t getting any feeling as to what they were related to past physical trauma.

225-internal-energyNext she placed her right hand under the sheets and under my sacral lower back and again after a couple of minutes, I began to run energy from my arms and chest, down to my legs.  She then moved to my neck and it was at this point I told her of the door and key issue and what I felt it was, and I felt another shift in my body.  As I did, I realized that what I was releasing was SHOCK energy that was stored in my body; shock at a being hurt either physically, or of experiencing something not pleasant and unexpected.  After that, she moved to my head (temple) where I felt the sensation of gratitude and also excitement from my body. She then moved to sides of my jaw, where I felt I was holding all the things that I should of said but didn’t.

225-fearFinally she placed her hands on my shoulders and while I still had a few muscle twitches and spasms, I began picking up on the therapist.  I told her I was and mentioned that it was fear, and at that, my body reacted with a series of the yet most violent full body spasms and twitches, that lasted several seconds. I commented that these went back to when she was three or four years old, at which point I felt her feeling all alone and unloved, so I reached back with my left hand and placed it on hers for a minute or so as my body slowly returned to normal.  I didn’t feel I was talking on her energy, just allowing it to move though me and into the Earth.

We finished the session and she didn’t say a word about what she experienced. She left the room and after a minute or so, I sat up, put on my shoes, and left to pay for my session and make another appointment for next week. Afterwards I felt good, (for a while) and then around 3:00 pm, I crashed for an hour. Afterwards, I felt a whole lot better than I was before I saw her, as I was in a lot of discomfort and pain.

 

Says 224 – No coincidences

214-door-and-keyOn  Wednesday, November 09, I was locked out of my apartment as my key would no longer open the lock. I’ve had to play with it a few times before, but this time it refused to open. I saw the building superintendent and he tried and then got his vice grips and turned the door knob until it opened. I was in, but while the door could still close, I was no longer able to lock it. The situation was reported to the landlord and he will be getting me a new lock.

So what is the message?  What is this trying to show me?

Is it…  Me = Mind         Key = Imprints, programs and beliefs        Apartment = Body

Is it saying that my Mind needs a new mechanism to open the door (key) to my apartment (Body) Humm? Maybe Craniosacral  Therapy is the key to accessing my Body? I have to give this more thought and feeling.

214-craniosacral-therapyLater, I called the Cranialsacrial contact that my Chiropractor had given me and set up an appointment for Thursday at 11:00 am

3:55 am. I woke up and got the message that the old key (way) will not unlock the door to the Body, so a new passage set and key (way) is required.

Says 221 – Labels (Judgments) on my Body

221-control-your-emotonsI was in a skype conversation with a friend and during our conversation I realized that I have placed unloving labels on my Body, not only present day labels, but also ones that I’ve had since I was born. I or rather my conscious Mind has confused my Will (intuition, feelings and emotions) and my Body as defining who I, or it, was and is. I AM a Spiritual Being consisting of four aspects, Spirit, Soul, Heart and Body and each one of these aspects has its own unique form of consciousness that are NOT subservient to the whims of the Spirit, but are co-equal partners in our Earthly sojourn and experiences. Placing labels (judgments) on our Will, Heart, and Body only act to alienate these aspects of our Divine Being. Basic labels that society and we have on ourselves are related to race, colour, religion, language, gender, tall, short, fat, slim, beautiful, ugly, deformed, intelligent, stupid, talented, not talented and the list goes on and on.

Some of the other labels that I now use on my Body are: too old, aging, sick, injured, feeling discomfort and  pain, lack of mobility, not attractive, not virile, not desirable, gray hair, wrinkles, not youthful, can’t do what I used to do, slowing down, keeping my Mind (Spirit) from having fun and enjoying myself. When I really think about it, I’m in denial of these judgments that I have on my body, in that I am focusing on “fixing” the problems and getting my Body back to the way it was, and even better. On top of all this are my Minds judgments on my denied feelings and emotions that come up with these judgments that I’m also not expressing, or if I am, they are only the false feelings and emotions that are aligned with the Minds judgments, and not the real ones that I’m still denying.

Says 220 – Psychological head games.

This is a little off topic, but I saw this link to Thinking Humanity  on my FaceBook page, and the words of the 17th century philosopher Blaise Pascal. As I read it, I was immediately aware of this devious Mind control ploy to manipulate another’s behavior and actions. I can see where this has been used, or tried on me by doctors, lawyers, teachers, cops, priests and ministers, used car salesman and even some politicians to name a few.

220-blaise-pascalBy having the person agree with your perception and comment, you get the false feeling that you are understood, and so you feel less threatened and defensive. But that is just a ploy to set up the framework to create self-doubt, and for you to question your point-of-view, especially if it was just a so-called “gut feeling.” This self-doubt then allows you to be persuaded to listen to and accept their point of view as also being valid, even to the point of negating, over-riding and even denying yours. It’s similar to the tools that a magician uses to get you to see what he wants you to see and believe. Distract, confuse and befuddle, but the intent now is to twist the words and truth to their advantage. If their first maneuver fails, then they may accuse you of not being willing to see their side, the opposite, the bigger picture, or not focusing on the details. Other phrases might be that you are too sensitive, too emotional, unreasonable, narrow or closed minded in not seeing and agreeing to their side of the argument, since they see yours.

While at first I thought this was off topic, I now see that it is another aspect of how our Mind controls our Will (intuition, feelings and emotions) and our Body, by implying that what they are suggesting is not accurate or appropriate, and that the Mind is correct in its assessment of the situation and that its decision is the justified and right action for all involved. Of course the Mind is not only running on its old imprints, programs and beliefs, but is also being coached by other “voices,”  like that of denied anger and rage, guilt, shame, and of course, unloving voices from other realms. I say unloving as any loving Spirit guide would not be looking to get the Mind to CONTROL the other aspects of its Being.

Says 219 – Life is a dance

219-lifes-a-danceLife is a dance, with the Spirit (Male, mind) leading, and the Soul (Feminine – Will Intuition, feelings and emotions) following or rather, RESPONDING to the Spirits direction. But to do this dance of life the Feminine needs to not only do the reverse, but also the opposite of what her male partner does. If the man moves his left foot forward, then she must move her right foot backward for them to be in unison, in the flow of the dance.The same holds true if the man steps backwards on his left foot

So where is all this going?

My first thought was that Spirit (male – mind) is imprinted and programmed to think that his approach is the right one and so it ignorantly believes that the Soul needs to do what he does in order to be in sync with him, but that is not how this dance works. I’ve taken international ballroom dance lessons, and while the male leads and the female follows, the male also needs to be willing to accept and move when the female sees something that the males doesn’t and be willing to trust her feedback and adjust the move accordingly. In other words, it’s not all one way. I’ve copied a few seconds from a Foxtrot Video on youtube,  to illustrate what I mean.

Ok, but how does this relate to the Body?

Says 218 – Three causes of inflammation in the Body

218-stressSo, what does all this mean? What is the common thread in my previous posts?  What I am beginning to see is that there are three basic causes for inflammation to occur in the Body, or rather, that Inflammation is not the problem, it’s the Body’s messenger that there is a problem.

(1) Physical Trauma

(2) Ingested, injected, inhaled contaminates (Food, water, vaccines, air, EMF) Trauma

(3) Emotional Trauma

Now emotional trauma (3) is associated with number (1) and (2) as when one is experiencing these, there is an immediate reaction and a host of strong emotional feelings, most of which are denied expression, Keyword – DENIED.  (2) Would have more of a delayed effect, but would eventually have the same emotional response as (1) when the Body responds to whatever  is attacking it’s natural healthy way of Being.

In my journey, I’ve discovered that any denied emotional energy is either pushed outside our physical body (fragmentation) or is stored in various parts of the Body. Hummmmm, I just realized that while I’ve worked on healing my fragmentation, but I haven’t really worked on the emotions that are stored in my Body, in my cells and DNA. (Scratching my head, wondering how I’m going to heal this.)

So looking over the list I made, there are two key factors that that need to be explored. They are SHOCK & HABITS. Shock applies mainly to (1) and (3) while Habits applies primarily to (2).

218-ruow-1That prompted me to retrieve and open the book, (RIGHT USE OF WILL – Healing and Evolving the Emotional Body). I searched my personal index and on page 5, it says, “Habits are to the Body what judgments are to the Consciousness.”  So what I take from that (based on my previous work) is that the Spirit consciousness (Mind) has been in CONTROL of both the Will (Soul) Intuition, feelings and emotions, and the Body. And in both cases, it has denied what it doesn’t want to accept, and only accepts what “feels good.” It sets up judgments (right or wrong, good or bad) on both the Will and Body, more so on the Will, but also on the habits for the Body to keep doing what it likes and makes it feel good. Of course any physical or emotional pain is not desired or accepted, but is quickly DENIED.

And here we go again…  LOL … It’s fascinating as I happened to visit my Facebook page and there was a link to the “Hearty Soul” site on feeling stress and how it affects the body. While I don’t agree with everything written, there are some part-truths that need to be explored. Coincidence? Not!

Says 217 – Concussion & Inflammation

217-head-injuries217-concussion-symptoms2Besides the issues with my neck, back and legs as a result of the accident, I also received a concussion, brain injury. The concussion wasn’t just forward and back, but also to the left and right. As a result, I immediately lost a good part of my hearing in both ears. I also have a constant headache behind my eyes and at the back of my head, which, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being an ice cream freeze, would be a 2. I can’t run, as running jars my head and increases the headache to unbearable levels. I need to weak soft sole shoes to lessen the impact when walking. If I shake my head, I get the same reaction. Added to that is a loss of memory, like how to spell words that I know I know, or in mistyping others Sometimes I look at or hear a word and I’m at a loss to know what it means. Another example is seeing and picking up an apple, but calling it an orange. I lost my ability to whistle and enunciate certain words like celery. I had my jaw dislocated for 15 months. All these symptoms are caused by damage and inflammation of the brain and connective tissue. I had MRI and Cat scan, and while they identified certain areas as “mild patchy white areas, they suggested they were related to age.

 

Says 216 – TRT (Torgue Release Technique) and emotions

216-front-lines-of-skepticismWhen I was receiving this new Chiropractic treatment, I wanted to know more about this new TRT technique, so I did an internet search. Chiropractic is considered a form of “alternative medicine” that focuses on manipulation of the musculoskeletal system, mainly the spine. It was considered unscientific and a cult by the so-called medical establishment, due in part to its holistic and homeostasis approach to treating their patient. It was only recently that Chiropractic treatments began being accepted by some conventional doctors, and some elements of the medical ESTABLISHMENT.

So it was no wonder that what I discovered was both interesting and also disheartening. What I found interesting was that Chiropractic was now associating emotions with spine issues, and that had a direct link to the work I had been doing that I share in my books, that of dealing with FEELINGS and EMOTIONS. But, the proverbial but, besides the following quote, what was also disappointing was that almost every Chiropractic site I visited had the same dogmatic scripted text, all singing the same, “We agree with psychiatrists” tune. While the Chiropractic discipline was on to something, they completely re-railed themselves by buying into the present psychiatric mental health mumbo jumbo.

Mental health conceptHere is their “suck up” quote regarding to the medical ESTABLISHMENT. <quote> Research published in one of the most respected psychiatry journals showed dramatically increased success in reducing anxiety and depression levels, and improved measurements of wellbeing, when Torque Release Technique (“TRT”) chiropractic adjustments were received. <end quote>

And here is a link to the ESTABLISHMENTS’s MENTAL HEALTH approach to dealing with what are considered “negative” feelings and emotions.

Says 215 – Chiropractic – TRT Adjustment (Torgue Release Technique)

215-back-injuries-herniated-discThe new chiropractor that I’ve been seeing does TRT adjustments and uses a tool called an “Integrator,” that is designed to reproduce what the hands do during an adjustment, but with more accuracy and less force. He has been working on my spinal column in my neck and lower back where there is pain and inflammation, where the spine and nervous system were damaged or misaligned (the medical term is subluxation) due to the accident and other factors.

215-inflamed-muscle-and-irritated-nerveThe body, in an attempt to heal the damaged vertebra, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage (discs), and nerves, causes inflammation and the lack of movement, that if disturbed, causes pain. Using the Integrator, he makes a few adjustments to the muscles and nerve endings surrounding the spinal column where nerves are being affected. This basically activates the nerves electrical system, kind of like removing a kink in a garden hose that is limiting the water output. This process relieves the muscle tension and reduces pressure on the nerves to not only that area, but to the rest of the body that depend on this nerve to function. This in turn, allows the Body can begin to heal (reduce inflammation and pain) and return to normal.

This new Chiropractic treatment, coupled with the massage treatments that I’m getting, seem to be reducing muscle tension throughout my neck and back, and giving me more freedom and reduced pain. The question is, is this really helping my Body heal, or is it just another “quick fix” that will fade as soon as the treatments stop, or will they just go so far and then stop being beneficial?

Says 214 – Toxic air, water, and products that affect our Body (Inflammation).

says-214-drug-portalBesides the toxic brew that we consume as FOOD that I listed in Says 212 / 213, I forgot two major toxic sources that are widely used and accepted. (1) Vaccines and prescription drugs. (2) alcohol and a host of so-called illegal drugs, like weed, meth, heroin, and others. Alcohol just reminded me of another toxic “unnatural” food, and that is milk, and the host of hormones and antibiotics that it contains.

214-sewage-water-pollutionWATER : Some of the toxic chemicals and bacteria in the water that we drink, and bathe in, and in the products we use. They include,  raw sewage, industrial waste, pesticides, herbicides, fluoride, chlorine, lead, mercury, PCB’s, Arsenic, Dioxins, DDT, Glyphosate, PFASs, Radioactive Contaminants, Pharmaceutical Drugs, Chromium, plastics water bottles,

BODY CARE PRODUCTS: Then there are the toxic chemicals that we put on our Bodies, or use in our homes include, laundry and dish detergent, hand soap, body soaps, shampoo, toothpaste, sanitizers, cosmetics, nail polish, hygiene products, baby diapers, perfume, deodorant, aftershave, sun blockers, body lotions, air fresheners,

says-214-air-pollutionAIR: Air pollutants that we breathe such as, car exhaust, industrial fumes, cigarette smoke, paint fumes, air fresheners, toxic scents from the things we put on our bodies or use. Not to forget the toxic brew from chemtrails that contain barium, nano aluminum-coated fiberglass [known as CHAFF], radioactive thorium, cadmium, chromium, nickel, desiccated blood, mold spores, yellow fungal mycotoxins, ethylene dibromide, and polymer fibers. 214-chemtrails

ELECTROMAGNETIC: And of course, there are the invisible energies that also affect our Bodies such as: Microwave ovens, cell phones, Wifi, Smart meter, fluorescent light bulbs, LED lights, Radio and TV signals, EMF, radar, nuclear radiation, electromagnetic radiation from our electricity.

So with all these toxic chemicals and energies attacking our Body, creating inflammation and disease, you wonder why the so-called medical professions first thought to help the Body heal, is to prescribe pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs?  By now, I hope that you can see that the main agenda of the medical profession is not healing, but in creating customers for the pharmaceutical industry, that in turn, ensures that they make a good and profitable living.  But of course, these are just the wild rambling rants of a conspiracy theorist, and NOT those of a highly trained MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL or an ACCREDITED RESEARCH SCIENTIST….  LOL  Saysame

Says 213 – Causes of Inflammation

212-chronic-inflamitory-diseasesSo the questions that beg to be asked about Inflammation are.

  1. What is the Body fighting and why?
  2. Why is inflammation considered a thread to health, if it’s the Body natural reaction to a foreign invader?
  3. Why is modern medicine attacking inflammation, and the already stressed Body with drugs?
  4. If the Body is activated to fight the above list of diseases, what are their cause? It has to be something that is either associated with physical trauma, or something that the Body took in via food, air or water, or related to some form of emotional trauma.
  5. Such a massive scale of deadly diseases has to be related to Food, air and water.
  6. So how can food (carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals that have been around for centuries be a problem?
  7. It’s not the food, but what is in or on the food that is the problem.
  8. What has changed?213-fat-man
  9. We no longer have natural food, but food like products  that contain a host of toxic chemicals that are foreign invaders to the Body. GMO products like Palm Oil, Soybean oil, High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), Glyphosate (roundup herbicide), Fluoride (in water, toothpaste, etc), Arsenic, aluminum, BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene), Polysorbate 60, Propylene glycol alginate (E405) Artifical Sweeteners, Sodium, Benzoate and Potassium Benzoate,  Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Sodium Nitrates And Sodium Nitrites, food colours, MSG, etc., etc., etc…213-sick-womanSo… if you begin to put the pieces of the puzzle together, you begin to see a common thread. It’s not the Body’s inflammation that is the problem, but the chemicals and GMO products that the so-called medical profession has APPROVED  safe for human consumption that is the problem.. Oh wait…!!! I get it ! Create a problem so that you can pretend to solve it, and in the process, make a hell of a lot of money. Who cares about peoples health, they are now paying CUSTOMERS… That’s the American dream isn’t it…  Make lots and lots of FUCKING MONEY as money is power, and status.  213-american-dream

Says 212 – Chronic Inflammation – The Silent Killer

So guess what?
The esteemed medical professionals, doctors and learned researchers are now calling Inflammation – the SILENT KILLER… They are now beginning to link it to a host of other diseases. And why the hell NOT? Because inflammation is directly related to the Body’s natural attempt to rid itself of whatever is harming it. It (shaking my head) boggles my mind to try to comprehend the utter stupidity of these people that literally affect the lives of billions of people.

Says 210 – The journey to feel and heal my Body

says-210 drugsI previously mentioned in post 208, that I have begun working on healing another aspect of me, my Body. I’m not going to into all the trials and tribulations that I’ve gone through since my motor vehicle accident, but I will try to share what I’m going through as of now and the insights I am getting in this journey. One thing that I’ve noticed is that I have as much confidence in the various physical based medical professions in healing the various aspects of the Physical Body as I do with psychiatrists and psychologists in healing the Emotional Body, which, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 1. In most cases they are fixated on treating the symptoms and not in finding and healing the underlying cause of the illness or injury.  In the case of Psychiatry, it’s the use of drugs or cognitive therapy, and for physical issues, it’s the use of drugs (pain management) or surgery.  Common medical theme for both… DRUGS.

says-210 soft_tissue_injuryAfter the car accident, I suffered a concussion, hearing loss, and massive soft tissue injuries to my neck, arms, shoulders, back, and legs. After 5 months of physio – therapy that almost left me crippled and months of chiropractic treatments and pressure point massages that only offered me short term relief, I was left to my own resources. It was almost 15 months after the accident, and after reading up on bone fractures and the “unknown” fact that they healed quicker than soft tissue damage, that the proverbial light came on, and I realized what the medical problem was, and why my Body wasn’t healing.

With a fracture, the injured part is immobilized for 6 – 8 weeks and then, and only then, do they begin the “gradual” increase in range of motion, flexibility and strength exercises. Dumbass medical professionals think that because there is nothing broken and you, “look ok,” that you should just into doing range of motion, flexibility and strength exercises all at once, and to go for it, with the idiotic no pain no gain attitude. That was the worst thing I could do as my body had numerous torn, stretched and compressed discs, ligaments, cartridge, tendons and muscles that had inflammation and needed time to heal and recover, not suffer more abuse.  Keyword – Inflammation. I then took a month off from doing any form of exercise just to let my Body begin to heal, but I did carry on with Chiro and the new deep tissue massage that I was recently getting from another RMT.

I should mention that I refused to take any pain killers and antibiotics as I have severe reactions and side effects to prescription and OTC drugs. It also doesn’t make sense to hide or dull the pain, and then go out and do something foolish and injury yourself even more because your Mind is numb to your Body’s pain.

To be continued…

Says 208 – Mental Health issues are NOT a Chemical imbalance

says-208-mind<Quote> The Chemical Imbalance Theory Might Be Incorrect <end quote>

I’m posting this it relates to the work I’ve done that I share my books in addressing Emotional issues, and that it also supports my low opinion of the present psychiatric and psychology profession and the Mental Health industry, 

MAYBE…? It’s not a fucking MAYBE, it’s a fact, and has a lot to do with medical dogma  and the medical prostitutes (aka doctors) of the pharmaceuticals will deny it and keep pushing the DRUGS as long as they are getting paid. Medicine is not about healing, in finding and treating the CAUSE, but in treating the SYMPTOMS and getting and keeping CUSTOMERS, as that means more….. MONEY.

Of course the other issue is that the MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT and the so-called learned “professionals” that write the medical bibles, still believe that emotions are a MENTAL illness and related to chemical imbalances in the Body, that just so happens to be what the pharmaceuticals need to sell their poison and create customers. DAH! So are they just STUPID, or are they just pretending they are STUPID… ?

<Quote> “The cause of mental disorders such as depression remains unknown. However, the idea that neurotransmitter imbalances cause depression is vigorously promoted by pharmaceutical companies and the psychiatric profession at large.”<end quote>  (Source)

The second reason I’m posting this is that I’ve not been very active on my blog, due in part to a Motor Vehicle Accident I had back in 2014 Dec. 03. “So what’s the link?” you may ask. Well I’ve been working on healing another aspect of me, my Body, for a while, and after getting my books published, that journey began in earnest with the accident. What I’m finding is that the so-called medical establishment has just about as much knowledge about healing the body as they do about the Emotions and they generally treat them the same… with DRUGS…

 

Says 195 – IRS Tax withholding issues and solution

irs formsWhen I signed up to get my books published with CreateSpace, Amazom, and then later with IngraMSpark and Smashwords, (US Companies) they all had the infamous IRS wanting to claim 30% of any royalties I made, even though I am a Canadian and Canada has a free trade agreement with the US. Originally, they all posted links to IRS and the various ITIN (International Tax Identification Number) forms I had to fill out and get approved in order to avoid this money grab.

I just so happened to be researching this topic on the web and came across Crystal Stranaghan’s website and how to make this process a whole lot simpler by getting an EIN (Employer Identification Number) in as little as 10 minutes. I called the number she had listed, and low and behold, after a 10 minute wait and a 10 minute interview, I had my EIN number.

says 195 bag of booksI had no problem using it with CreateSpace and Amazon, and Smashwords will also accept it, but it needs to be in a print format. The only bug-a-boo was with IngramSpark that wanted me to get a GST (Canadian Goods and Services) number and fill out forms as if I was a retailer going to be buying books to sell. DAH! (Shaking my head) Why do they think I chose them as a POD (Print book) distributor so that they could distribute them to wholesalers or retailers globally. I write books, I don’t plan on carrying a bag of books and knocking on doors all over Canada or the world trying to sell them.

I sent them an email along with copies of the CreateSpace and Amazon approval for them to examine and maybe incorporate into their POD services. I’m waiting for their “favorable” response, as I’d hate to go through all that rigamarole just for one distributor.

Says 192 – My Print and eBooks are now Global…

Globe

Books – global

Whew!!!    What a journey! Writing the books was one thing, then came the editing and more editing and proofing and more editing until I felt they were ready for print. Then it was uploading them to CreateSpace, and making revisions until they passed their on-line reviewer. Next I ordered a print proof copy, and then more editing, and more print proof copies until finally I felt they were acceptable. Now they were ready to to be sold by CreateSpace and Amazon on-line.

Createspace and Amazon are connected, but.. and it’s a BIG but.. they don’t really serve the brick and mortar retail stores, as everything is done on line. So now I  turned to IngramSpark another POD publisher, to get my books into retail stores around the globe. That was  another frustrating learning curve, as what worked for CreateSpace, didn’t work for IngramSpark. Nothing major, but a pain in the butt none the less. Frustrated, I put that project on hold and focused on getting my eBooks out.

There again it was a learning curve as the formatting that worked for my print books now had to be basically scrapped and each book re-formatted, including images. Not only that, they had to be formatted for kindle and ePub. That meant downloading and installing eBook editors for both formats, and learning how to use them. Not having the Kindle ebook or an iBook or Nook, I also needed to download and install eBook viewers. Next I had to upload my revised books (in a PDF format) to an online converter and download and review and make the necessary changes.  And then repeat the process until they looked good. Next I had to upload them to an on-line validator to see if they passed… and if they didn’t it was back to the drawing board.

Once the  eBooks had the green light, it was off to Amazon and also IngramSpark, that I had put on hold. My initial plan was to have CreateSpace and Amazon handle the on-line POD print books and the Kindle eBook, and have Ingram Spark handle all the retail stores and the ePub eBook format.  Amazon wasn’t an issue, but IngramSpark was, not so much with the eBooks, but with the print books and trying to understand what they required, as while their computer program would say there was a problem, it only in general terms, and didn’t give any specifics. So where to look? Frustrated, I put IngramSpark on hold again and looked to Smashwords for my ePub eBook distribution, as I felt that I could always use CreateSpaces expanded distribution if I couldn’t get the print books accepted at IngramSpark.

Smashwords was yet another learning curve, but I managed to get my books approved after some “political” nit picking things were resolved, like deleting active reference links to Amazon, which I did, as the names and titles were still there. When it came to  deleting my pen name and copyright issues,  I refused to make any changes, as to abide by their “rules” meant not only editing my print and eBooks and re-doing all my book covers, but also applying for new ISBN numbers, and that I wasn’t prepared to do, and so they finally agreed to let them pass – pending my final approval.

I then zipped back to IngramSpark and finally got the print book issues sorted out and ordered a copy of each.  What their computer program had originally complained about was not really a problem, as the page numbers were one line outside their optimal parameters, but still well within their print guide lines. The only difference I could see and feel between the books by CreateSpace and IngramSpark  was that IngramSpark used slightly better quality paper that was also slightly thinner, and it affected the book thickness and cover spine, but I didn’t think it was that big a deal that I needed to rework my covered to make them look better.

It was then that I made a coin toss and decided to let IngramSpark handle my Print books, and  print books only, and that I would try Smashwords, to see how they handled my ePub eBook distribution. With that… my print and ebooks were finally ready for GLOBAL distribution..

 

 

Says 190 – Doctors – no longer interested in healing

190 BP machineI had an appointment with my so-called doctor on Thursday May12. Usually her nurse checks the blood pressure, but she was off, so the good doctor did it using her automated device. After wrapping the cuff around my arm, she started the machine.. It started filling the cuff with air and then immediately deflated. She said my BP was 190/110. She then went to my right arm and this time the machine pumped and stopped 5 times until the pressure was actually hurting me, and then it deflated in an instant.. This time my BP was 220/120 I said the machine is out of whack as I’ve never been that high.. She said no, it’s accurate. I said I have a BP tested at home, and my BP ranges from 158/109 down to 114/78 and is usually around the 130/85 mark.
 
I waited to see what she would do next, if she would use the old mechanical system she still had on the wall. She didn’t bat an eye and said that I needed to look after my high blood pressure and wrote down on a piece of paper, the drug… Coversyl (Permdopril) for me to consider.
 
I felt that the “good” doctor was knowing lying that the machine test was flawed, as she seemed unconcerned that my BP was that high, other than trying to get me on a drug. I’m sure any other “caring” doctor would have rushed me off to emergency for more tests if my BP was really that high. I’m going to be searching for a wholistic doctor,  if I can find one that hasn’t been threatened and isn’t afraid to stand up against the ESTABLISHMENT. Or… none at all… as I feel that the body can really heal itself…

Says 188 – Blood Pressure Realization

A parient cured is a customer lostI came to a realization over the weekend when I was on my apple fast/diet. I saw my doctor, or rather her nurse, last week that just took my blood pressure. She told me it was high and that I should really go on medication. High being 145/90
 
Just for shits and giggles I monitored my blood pressure at various times of the day and night over the weekend. It ranged anywhere from 122/78 with a heart rate 55 bmp to 145/93 and a heart rate 63 bmp. After I did my 3/4 hour range of motion routine and exercises, it was 130/84 with a heart rate of 89bpm..
 
OK, so now comes realization… When I’m in the doctors office, she take my BP that lasts 1 minute. Now there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day, making a total of 1440 minutes.. So putting that into perspective, what the nurse and doctor are putting their so-called professional medical diagnosis and advice on, is one test that constitutes of a paltry .0144% of my day.
 
So these f**king medical morons and trying to convince me to go on medication based on a so-called evidence of .069% Even if they followed me around all day and night and took my blood pressure 100 times, it would still only have an accuracy of .69% Blood pressure is just a gauge, a f**king number, and isn’t to be taken as gospel and a mandate to prescribe medication that has countless side-effects. Of course they say it’s “preventive” medicine, but I say, it’s only creating customers..

Says 181 – Love is not an emotion

LOve is not an emotionContrary to popular opinion, Love is not an emotion. It is a energy, a frequency or vibration that can be felt by not just empaths, but by animals, plants and the Earth itself. Not all energy is loving  and unloving (reversed polarity) love energy seeks to close, compress and control, while Unconditional Love is open, expanding, and evolving. Love, is the essence of life, while denial of love seeks death.

This concept will put an entirely new spin on what you thought love is, and the words, “I love,” will take on a different meaning and dimension. Love with conditions, or when denial is present, is what we are presently experiencing in varying degrees, and is also why we have disease and death.  Ending our denials and expressing the truth is what will enable us to create the life we desire, and yet to dream, here on Earth.

Says 179 – Medical Community searching for cure, not cause.

In the  course of my journey, I’ve come to discover that the so-called medical community is 95% out of touch with reality and have no interest in finding the CAUSE of a medical or emotional problem, but to find a CURE… which… BTW, are not one and the same.  Of course, the bottom line is to not heal the patients, but to create CUSTOMERS and make MONEY.
179 painI came upon this post…
The Connection Between Your Thyroid and Chronic Pain That Doctors Miss Every Time on a friends facebook page and after reading the article, I felt I needed to make a comment and also post it to my blog.

That this is another part-truth… Sure there is a connection between your thyroid and chronic pain. but what the so-called Dr. Westin Childs, a so-called leading expert in thyroid health fails to address, is why the thyroid is not functioning properly. And it’s NOT… repeat…. NOT…. because of a T3 or T4 level problem.

<quote> He linked tissue level hypothyroidism as one of the main causes of Fibromyalgia. And he did this through a concept known as ‘deductively formulated theory‘. <end quote>

This academic egotistical moron likes to compare himself to Albert Einstein. <quote> (This is the same logic that Albert Einstein used to come up with his hypotheses – like the theory of relativity)<end quote> but he isn’t even close. He hasn’t looked for the fundamental CAUSE. The thyroid is part of the much larger endocrine system and any mental, emotional and physical stress on the Body, affects this system, and in turn, the entire body.

Says 177 – Time is flying by.

says 177-timeI can’t believe that it’s almost the end of February. I’ve been busy and yet not. I’ve been working on a lot of things, from formatting and editing my print books to eBooks, and then revising any little details that also apply to my print books. I’m also trying to decide which way to go with distributing my books, and who to use as there is so much conflicting and changing information out there, making a decision is not easy.

At the same time, I’m trying to figure out why I’m still I pain and why I can’t do the things I did before my accident. The physical pain is also slowing me down and even stopping me at times, from working on my books. Not to mention the constant headache and pain in my shoulders that I have to deal with that break my concentration. Between my self-prescribed physiotherapy exercises, stretching and massage, to my bi-weekly massage appointments and weekly chiropractic treatment, it’s also cutting into my book time. Yesterday and then this afternoon, I finally got two MRI scans done on my head, and spine. Hopefully, this will uncover the source of the headaches and pain in my spine, arms and legs. I’m beginning to get discouraged as it’s been over a year since I have done any really exercise and especially cardio, as walking and running would jog my head and give me a head ache, and also affect my legs. And any activities or sports has been put on hold. I’ve never in my life been this inactive. not even close.

Says 176 – I’m on the road again.

says 176 Dash torn apartsays 176Normal dashWell I got my SUV back this afternoon. I was surprised that he got it all back together… This is the picture I took yesterday afternoon when he had it all apart… There are a couple of brackets on the right hand side (by the door) and just to the left of that (in deeper to the firewall) is the heater core. The problem is that it’s in a frame box, so the box also has to be removed to replace the core…

I only have one issue (to date) and that is my fuel gauge is intermittent… other than that, everything is working fine..

Says 171 – eBook Publishing Nightmare.

171 - tower bable eBooksI can’t possible begin to share all that has happened, or not happened, since my last blog post. I thought that getting my books out in print was the hard part, but that is a piece of cake to getting my eBooks published. There are numerous problems and issues and the first is that while CreateSpace is a POD publisher, they are mainly associated with Amazon, and hence, are not looked on by brick and mortar stores as someone to deal with. To get my books into the brick and mortar stores, I need to deal with IngramSpark, and that means a new account, different rules and procedures. So besides this “war” going on in the print book business, it’s also going on in the eBook business and is even more complicated.

But, there is more. Amazon is mainly interested in electronic sales of eBooks, and so eBooks that are sold though Amazon, need to be in either the Kindle or Mobi (both proprietary) formats. Trouble is that while Amazon has over 1/3 the eBook sales, they don’t distribute any eBooks in other formats like ePub, or iBook. So to get my books distributed, I also have to get another distributor like Smashwords of Bookbaby. Of course, all this means that now I need to edit my print books to make them available to all these different eBook formats like, KF8 ( Amazon Kindle) Mobi, ePub, iBook (Apple) LIT, ODF, PDF, HTML. So while my revised print book looks good in a ePub, it’s a mess in Kindle or other formats.

But there’s more… Every eBook needs to have its own ISBN number and each distributor has different rules for metadata, categories, sub-categories, keywords and tags. Also, each distributor has their own marketing plans and programs that you have to investigate before jumping on-board. To say this experience is frustrating, is putting it mildly.
