THE CURE, Pt. 1

(Special Note:   This article is, in no way, intended to be a criticism of the Medical or Healthcare establishment. Rather, it is a study of the societal dynamics out of which our current Medical Paradigm has evolved, and where it may be going as the energy continues to rise on Planet Earth. I am a part of this current "Establishment," and consider many of my friends and colleagues to be brilliant and caring individuals.)

The "salt of the Earth" has begun to run out. This is not the case because there is none of it left. Rather, the salt is running out because its purpose has been fulfilled. There have been energies present upon this planet since the beginning that have but one reason for existence. That reason is preservation of the established order.

Salt, as an essence, has always been considered a "preservative." Without it, or something like it, organic substances (particularly proteins) will rot. When meats are cut up, dried, and packed in salt---that are said to be "cured."

Words are interesting. They reveal a lot---particularly when you measure their manifold usage in any particular culture. The word "cure" has other meanings as well. Diseases are said to be "cured." Some diseases are said to be "incurable." Add an accent mark to the "e" in "cure" and the word, in French, means "priest ."

Truly, the physicians of today have become "priests" of a very special and important religion. But what IS that religion?

KEEPERS OF THE NORM

The Age of Technology is an age of statistics. We have the machinery, currently in place, to run "stats" on nearly any subject, at nearly any time. In an age when Budget Deficit and National Debt it almost an American obsession, many eyebrows were raised, awhile back, when Congress allotted $19 million dollars to study statistics about the effects of livestock methane emissions (cattle farts) on the ozone layer. The tools to do so are present, the motivations are high, and we are busily measuring and actively cataloging nearly everything in sight!

The word "normal" is often used when doctors congregate. Many a patient, when receiving a report of findings from his primary care physician, will tend to SHAKE OFF all the technical jargon---asking instead that all-pervasive question of the hour: "But Doc, is that NORMAL?"

Well.....what's a Good Doctor to say? He must be accurate. He must be SERIOUS ABOUT HIS RELIGION. Therefore, physicians grant huge sums of money, many hours of attention, and unbelievable amounts of credibility to that one, HIGHLY MARKETABLE COMMODITY ---THE NORM, or that which is called NORMAL.

I'd hate to be named "Norm"---wouldn't you? You would tend to feel so....so....AVERAGE. But "Norm" is a very popular man indeed! We study hard in school, we practice daily in sports, we persevere in all manner of personal organization and
discipline---all so we can BEAT HIM in every area of life. But go to the Doctor, lift up your shirt, and fail to find him there---and a grown man will break out in a cold sweat.

Doctors, then, might be called the High Priests of Health Care, and "Keepers of the Norm." If that "Norm" is missing, the patients want to get it back. Naturally, where there is a market there is soon a commodity to sell---huge lines of products and procedures have been developed to either preserve, protect, and re-install that which is normal in human bodily function.

A "NEW" BRAND OF JUDGMENT

Because the word "norm" is so.....so....average, it soon became necessary to give an old word a new flavor. Since "cure" was so commonly used about meat, and people are so much more than meat (aren't they Doctor?), the word "heal" was brought
into play. The "average" for acceptable conditions of human bodies now became those that were "healed," or those that are heal-thy.

Soon the new face of "Norm" was well-known by everyone. Now, instead of polarities light GOOD and EVIL, the Priests of the New Religion could use words such as "healthy" and "unhealthy." Modern practices of sepsis were instituted, and the word CLEAN was attributed to HEALTHY and the word DIRTY (or "Unclean" as was applied to lepers) was attributed to that which did not measure up according to...guess who? NORM!

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company was given the task of deciding which physical body weights are healthy and which are not. Jobs are won, relationships are lost, athletic teams are built, and life insurance policies are written according to the edicts of the Church. Soon, nutritionists began to decide what a "healthy meal" is---basing their decisions on "statistics," designed to prove what is GOOD and what is EVIL.

Of course, no list about "absolutes" would be complete without mentioning those two very familiar words: PHYSICAL FITNESS. The absoluteness of it all kinda makes you VIBRATE doesn't it? Some people "fit" and some people just "don't." Some soldiers are "fit for duty," and some aren't.   Soon, people begin bending their energy (focusing) toward meeting "the norm." Some people call this practice "discipline." Spirit calls it focusing the will.    There is nothing wrong with it, but it does tend to "box one in" at times.

CREATING THE BLUEPRINT

With Health Care as a "business," and the Medical Associations presenting themselves as a Sacred Priesthood, it is not hard for us to figure out where all this would naturally go. Doctors began setting "guidelines" for how a person should look, feel, eat, walk, and sleep. The more deeply ingrained these "guidelines" became, the more the Mass Mind began to focus upon meeting that "norm."

It is the focus of the Mass Mind on any one objective or definition of "right" (such as in the area of "fitness") that sets the DENSITY for that "channel" on the Multiversal TV set. If enough people begin focusing toward one goal or defintion of "normal" or "right," there is formed a kind of CRITICAL MASS that becomes the reality base for that society. Anything outside of that "norm" begins to suffer.

In truth, the "suffering" of people outside of the "norm" is not the product of their particular "condition" at all. Rather, they suffer because their conscious and unconscious mind continually receives the subliminal message YOU DON'T BELONG HERE. Eventually, the body either gives in and conforms, or it dies.

One of the reasons, by the way, that people only live to the age of 70 (average) nowadays is because they get messages from everywhere in society that there is no more need for them. The American Society is YOUTH CRAZY. If your coat has a "wrinkle," press it---if the wrinkle won't come out---THROW IT AWAY. Some folks think the same is true of people. In other parts of the world, people live far longer and are far more useful to those who can benefit from their wisdom.

GUARDING THE "STATUS QUO"

If you look up the phrase "status quo" in the dictionary, you will find it defined as "the way things are" (literal translation of the term).

The status quo is extremely important to the Keepers of the Norm. We could criticize them heavily, reasoning that they do everything for money, and that they prey upon the fears of the people they serve, and so on and so on.

In truth, the Medical Establishment is more often simply responding to signals that are given to them from the society in which they live. Yes, they make money from chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Yes, those little "pills" that cost so much are readily dispensed to millions of eager patients--- people who often need much MORE than a pill. But it is not just the DOCTORS who are responsible for all that. We all play
a role in the "status quo."

The point of this discussion is simply to help us all see how terrified we can all be with the prospect of CHANGE. Most people hate change, except when their lives have become completely unbearable---only THEN will they consider looking at something new.

More to come. As always, your comments and questions are welcome!
