Hilarion : Many of the questions today, are around health, healing, understanding many aspects of the components of the body. How to work with it, appropriately, and so on. And there are many different ways to answer these questions, and many ways we can get into various specifics. But it *must* be understood, that as a general principle, the information is there. The information, is proceeding at a powerful clip(???). New ways of understanding and working with it. In fact, what might be called, Leading Edge Relative Truths. It's a very useful concept, when dealing with information, and especially about health issues. Because, to a large extent, those things which you have learnt, are wrong. This is simply how it has worked, in these areas, for many many years.
You can start, all the way back, with the death of George Washington, if you wish. Bled to death, by his doctors, to supposedly cure his cold. And indeed, you see then, how information has played such a tremendously role, and people's resistance to information, to seeing what is obvious, or right in front of them, all the way through, to the subtler aspects. The difficulty with this, is that some people will recognize, in reading studies, or listening to doctors, or reading various books about different aspects of health.
"Ahh! This is it! Complete. Done. And I'll work with that." Unfortunately, when those voices were very loud, speaking about fats, people stop listening afterwards. They thought, that was the end of it. Yes, we want to have certain kinds of fats only, but to a large extent, most fats should be reduced, eliminated, and avoided. Once that powerful (but errorneous) information was revealed (by the medical establishment), pretty much coinciding with the widespread commercialization and television of various ways of information coming out very directly to people, many people thought, that was the end of it.
Of course that is not true. The information has continued. And many studies have shot all of that (errorneous information) down, and shown people, in many different ways, how that information is entirely incorrect. And that fats, in fact, can be tremendous healers and very helpful to the human body.
But many individuals, in recognizing this, stop at that point. What they did not grasp, is that information, is resisted a little less each passing day. More information, becomes available. And one then, in order to understand from the point of view of that information, that is learnt about it, is the mind must continue to study. To flood yourself with that information, to read the various journals, to look at various people (eg. Aajonus Vonderplanitz), and draw your own conclusions. And so on and so forth.
In fact, there are still individuals on your planet, who think that, it is important to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Even though, it was shown, in a matter of a few years ago, that this was merely the conjecture of reporter, that got picked up, and spoken of worldwide, and even accepted by a large number of doctors, even though there were no studies, at all, that proved this, or in any way can verify.
And so what you're up against, as you deal with this, is how to balance with these aspects. You can always ask what's right about it. Look at how it works in your own body, you can observe other people and how they have done with different techniques, different leading edge relative truths. And of course information understood in this regard, doesn't only apply to health. But where it does apply to health, it is essential to understand it. To work with it in the most conscious fashion possible. To question everything. To look at all of the underlying assumptions, from a different point of view.
That point of view, could be, around what works in your body, as a very useful tool. It could be a relationship, how you feel about it. But you must sometimes question those, because it can be based on deep seated ideas, that must also be questioned. But you may also notice, therefore, what is gradually evolving from this, is a different pathway, a sort of response mechanism. It could be taste, it could be the feel of it, it could be how it is to have a tiny bit of the animal body. It could be a way in which your response, to those aspects in the food, is intuitive. Your smell based.
But whatever way you come to understand this, it is important that you question these aspects, because so many of the supposedly tried and true aspects of research, in areas of nutrition and health in particular, have been proved completely wrong, by all of the traditional authorities. The same organizations that studied them extensively, a mere twenty years ago, have completely reversed themselves on those issues. It is not therefore, entirely in the domain of information, in the intellect, in the mind, in order to answer, what is appropriate for your body, what is the best way to proceed.
At the same time though, intellectually speaking, there are a few principles, that begin to shine. That doing things in a vacuum, separate, can be interesting information, ie. petri dish experiments, or animal experiments. But, in more powerful tools, how it works in people. Large numbers of people, small numbers of people. How you work with those people, are they similar to you, and so on, can be an important clue. In addition, the ways in which, you come to this, in some inner response, can sometimes lead you down areas, which you hadn't even seen possible before.
Now, one of the questions, is about a whole list of primarily chronic diseases, a few of them, acute diseases, and how they may be healed, cured, corrected, etc. There is a similarity running through this, in that, we (Hilarion) have studied carefully and consciously, all of the different methodologies. And looked at the responses. How people fare, with the different regimes. How they're bodies improve. How their consciousness improve. How their mental abilities improve.
Many times, supplement approaches, drug approaches, surgery approaches - these have provided tremendous benefit, short term. Tremendous difficulty, long term. Some of these, causing accumulation of toxic materials in the body, that were actually more difficult to get rid of, that anything that originally caused the conditions. As a result, the underlying principles, must be reconsidered. Not simply the individual experiments.
For instance, the body is always trying, to come to a state of maximum health. Is this a very complicated principle? Isn't it something, that is simple common sense? The pathology principle, that seeks out those aspects which are damaging to the human body, and attempts to correct this through diagnosis and cure, is the very principle that leads to short term benefit, long term difficulty. And the opposite.
Many times, when you use this principle, that the body is trying to come to a state of maximum health at all times, you actually will have some short term difficulty, as you intensify, the body's need, to come to this place of maximum healing. This means that, in order to work with these underlying principles, something larger must be known. A principle, like Presence. Like Energy. Like Being.
It is the principle that guides so much, in the
way in which people, come to consciousness, to awareness, and to understanding,
which brings us to another powerful question to ask - it has to do with
your life here on Earth.
Specifically, about what do you take with
you. The soul is changed by the experiences of the body. Very powerfully.
And it brings in various tendencies. Karmically. Things to be changed in
the body.
But, it will take something from this. What are you learning from this. If it can be written down, if it can be crystallized. If it can be spoken of with others, sometimes your friends will know, what you've learnt from it, even though you don't. You then may have, a powerful clue as to where this is going. And, the best methods to apply.
The books by Vonderplanitz, seem to address this aspect, that the body is doing its best, to come to maximum healing, more than those of other authors. It does so in a holistic fashion, working with underlying principles, and it is one that is a very powerful tool. Many of the diseases, that were asked about, are specifically addressed in this book.
And we have noted, for the individuals that have pursued this course of action, the healing technologies and methodologies described (by Vonderplanitz), that they have done well with this. Correcting cancerous conditions, of both benign and malignance. And correcting conditions of Multiple Sclerosis, various nerve diseases, and AIDS.
At the same time, these underlying principles are difficult to apply, if the individual has ignored the information that has been prevalent, as by example those who have avoided (raw) fats. Those who, at the same time, has had their 8 glasses of water a day and washed out what residual fats were left in the body. Understanding these principles requires then, more information, more understanding, more love. For your own body, to take in these things, to work with them, and of course, more forgiveness.
For the foolish scientists, and their ways of working in the world, based on principles of, what is what is very small (ie. bacteria and viruses), rather than what is very large (ie. principles of maximum health, raw foods, etc) - the holistic paradigm, now coming into the scientific realm, with greater and greater force. Yet to be fully accepted (by medical science and society), it may take a whole other generation.
-----------------------------
Where radiation contaminates the environment, air, water, and so on, the various important radiation reduction methods we have suggested in the past, are recommended to be employed. One of the most powerful, that available in warmer countries, is the use of avocadoes and oranges. This blending, eating avocado and orange at the same time, can be quite stimulating. It is a very helpful radiation reducer. And it is therefore best utilized in the afternoon so its stimulating properties don't keep you awake at night. Other methodologies include the sea vegetables. Various seaweeds. These contain various alginates, that are better absorbed and utilized in the direct, raw form, rather than in tablets or capsules, or fractionated forms. And of course, all of the methodologies that raise consciousness, that allow you to let go, can be very helpful because oftentimes radiation is associated with various substances that the body tends to hold in emotional holding states, and various aspects that are difficult for the body to work with.
Of course, increased (raw) fats in general, can be beneficial, if they're healthy healing fats, which brings us to this question on dairy. It has been observed, that dairy products can be very damaging to the body, when it has been pasteurized or heated. Critical temperature as low as 109 degrees Fareheit. Indeed, workig with dairy, even to that temperature, can produce various problems in the body.
Pasteurization which typically takes place at much higher temperatures, around 150 to 155 degrees Farenheit, is so damaging, that the fats become toxic. These fats are sometimes absorbed, and held in the body for years. And many times in the ingestion of those helpful substances most effective to take these toxic fats out of the body, specifically raw fats, such as from raw dairy that has not been heated past 109 degrees Farenheit, and preferably, is at 100 to 101 degrees Farenheit and less. This will then, pull out, some of that toxic fats. But it does take time.
That is why sometimes, there will be the mucus (secreting) mechanisms, various mechanisms in the body to pull this out, as the toxic fats combine with the healthy fats. But as these toxicity is pulled out, the (raw) dairy becomes (effectively) healthier and healthier, bringing greater and greater healing and strength to the body.
And this is most easily (obviously) seen, in small animals. On a farm, where you give the animal, the raw dairy milk direct from the cow to heal it. Be it a cat, a dog, or any other animal that is on your farm, that you wish to heal.
Ultimately though, there is improvement in the body to the point that dairy is no longer necessary. But for most individuals, this is not possible for their bodies in this lifetime. It may take several generations, before they are able to heal the damage that was done, by the generations before them. Where your grandparents or great grandparents did not have access to raw dairy, or where your parents switched from the raw to the pasteurized, as became widespread in the USA in the 1940s.
Yet, as you come to understand this for yourself, you must recognize that you can have simultaneously with the ingestion of raw dairy, two sensations. One is increasing mucus, one can be those aspects that seem to be temporarily but are those that seem to be reducing your energy, making you sleepy perhaps. But at the same time, an inner boost of energy, a positive energy, something that says, this feels right (ie. helpful) somehow. These eventually come to a balance within you, and then move very much more (rapidly) into the healing realms.
We are speaking of course, when we speak of dairy, of the many different dairy products. For many individuals, when they are experiencing this tug of war in themselves, a more purified dairy product, such as raw unsalted butter, is usually recommended. This can have tremendous value, in building up lubrication between the joints. Easing back pain, knee pain, strengthening the body on many levels, clearing out tumours, moving through various toxic materials, binding them with the raw butter, and then allowing them to be excreted. Typically in this technique, one puts on weight for a while, as the toxic materials are brought into the fatty tissues of the body. And then dropping the weight, those are excreted bound to the (raw) fats, in such a way that there is no damage.
These techniques are described in the Vonderplanitz books previously mentioned, but it must be mentioned here, that it takes a bigger view. A deeper understanding of this. Now of course, there are people who would say, I can't get the raw dairy. And that can indeed be difficult at times, in some countries and in some areas. But, as many people are finding, the same solution, community, is often the answer. Where you have people band together to buy a cow. To find ways of raising that cow, and sharing the products of that cow, and learning how to do this in a way in which the cow is healthy, and happy, and enjoying the (raw) grass that it lives on. And allowing this in a way in which you can come to a better understanding and awareness, in your interaction with each other and the animal. Sometimes this does mean taking own some things (eg. the cow, importing raw butter, etc) on your own. But, it is often more easily possible, and again here this thrust, towards community, to the encouragement of people acting and loving each other. You see where this is going.
But in the meantime, in such locations (where it is difficult to obtain raw butter), oftentimes coconuts are available. And to take the meat of the coconut, press it through a juicer, with the usual juicing screen in place, extracting the pulp, and discarding it, and keeping the cream, sometimes called coconut cream or coconut butter. Simple methodology, easy to do if the coconut slices are around 95 degrees Farenheit. And this is a very healing and helpful fat. And has much benefit in the same way as the raw dairy previously mentioned. Stimulating the immune response, strenghtening the body on many levels, enhancing capability for the person to clear out the toxic fats that may have been accumulated.
Immune system was mentioned here, a controversial matter, because the immune system is a distributed system. It has many components, and different organs of the body. It is not only found in the blood, since afterall, the white blood cells must be produced. It is not only found in the organs, because the brain has a very important component to play. Indeed, in the area of, an understanding of the brain's interaction with the immune system, so much is being discovered, so much is being learnt, everyday. This is clearly an area, in which relative leading egde truths, is likely to be dismantled, turned upside down, and changed on a regular basis.
One of the interesting areas to explore with this, is the way in which the immune response, is moderated by music. The music that feels good to you (eg. Pachelbel's Canon). That gives you the sense of peace, of happiness, of love. The music that goes deep to your soul. And encourages an awakening or consciousness or love within you. This is perhaps the best music.
Oh yes, there are those in the past, who have said, listen only to this kind of music, or that kind of music. And leading edge relative truth again, those individuals were doing the best they could with the average of music at that time that would indeed produce these positive helpful responses. But your society changes. Your receptivity to music shifts. The energies that work with you, can have an important component that relates to the consciousness of other people.
Sometimes, for some individuals, listening to music that you would find distasteful, allows them a sense of peace, because it helps them to tune into other people who are feeling this energy (eg. peace) too.
We would always suggest, that wherever possible, that if there are lyrics, if there are words associated with this music, as is so often the case, that you understand the meaning of those words, you dissect them, you learn them, and reject them if they are out of alignment with the positive message you want for your own system, and accept them if they are encouraging, strenghtening, and helpful.
In instrumental music, there are many more choices
of course, the response that you feel in your own body, may be a far better
indicator, than that of anyone else's. But, other people may of course
suggest, what has worked for them. And that is useful to try in your body.
