Water is the first key to every question of chronic disease, and every answer to the restoration of health. It is also one of the most overlooked, and as such, misunderstood. Our status with, and relationship to water should be on the lips of every doctor, dentist, nurse, and any professional that includes the word “health” in their description or scope of responsibilities. Since that’s not happening, you and I must include the word health in description and scope of personal responsibilities, because it’s not the doctor’s responsibility to keep us healthy, but our own. Therefore, it behooves us all to better understand this thing called water.

For something that looks virtually the same no matter how it’s prepared, water has many different personalities, states, and characteristics, many of which have gone unnoticed by most “experts.” However, it’s time that we know better. Only one of water’s states is conducive to the maintenance or restoration of health, whether we’re talking human, plant, or animal. That is, when water is structured. This caveat is not limited to water we drink. It’s any water that we’re exposed to, including that which we shower and bath in, or wash our dishes, clothes in, or cook with.

Knowing the difference, animals will naturally select structured water if given the option. Planets will grow taller, faster, and be healthier with structured water than they will with distilled, tap water, or any other adulterated form (such as when it is microwaved).

Our drinking water may, or may not be structured. In fact, it may not even be alkaline, a point that applies to far too many popular bottled water brands. Waters labeled as “purified,” “dionized,” or “reverse osmosis,” are not structured. While some people may be aware of wide variances in water’s taste, in general, for most, drinking water will look and taste the same irrespective of the preparation method used. However, the long term effects of said methods can differ dramatically.

According to a World Health Organization study, people who drink water that contains minerals have lower rates of disease when compared to people who do. This makes sense when you realize that the body needs those minerals. Even more important is that the body needs and uses life force energy, another term for bio-photons. The key point about bio-photons is that they represent all potential, and can function as minerals, and anything else that the imbibing body needs at that very moment. As such, it is more important to have bio-photon energy present in the water than anything else. Structured water is the optimal way to do so.

These understandings aren’t widely appreciated by the public. “Purified” drinking water will often have much of its mineral content removed, as they are considered part of the water’s “Total Dissolved Solids,” which are considered contaminants.

Minerals that the body uses as building blocks to maintain its health, such as potassium, zinc, magnesium, and anions, are lumped into the same category as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and positive ions, which themselves are disruptive in effect.

The problem with this is that drinking water that is devoid of such constructive minerals and life-force energy (which the anions represent) and will essentially “leech” what it needs from the host, that is, you and me. Organized in clusters that too large to be usable by the cell, they must be broken down, which the body will automatically do, using whatever is available. It “structures” the water internally.

Another term for structured water is “mature” or “ripened” water. It is succulent to the body and effective at hydration because the clusters are smaller. Each are oriented to the other in such a way that they are constantly and instantly giving and receiving two electrons to each other. This instant ion, energy, and information exchange, increases the body’s metabolism (and health), delivering both oxygen and hydrogen where they are needed most; which is everywhere.

I am currently reading Living Energies, by Callum Coats. It is an examination of the work of Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958), a somewhat obscure Austrian, who made the study of nature in general, and water in particular, a life-long mission. He first came to my attention through meeting Clayton Nolte, an inventor who, through over forty years of service in the Air Force and other “intelligence” gathering factions in the U.S. military, gained his own understanding of the forces of nature, and properties of water.

Clayton has developed a device that structures water, infusing it with bio-photons (living light). It does so in such a practical way that it portends to be a real paradigm shifter with respect to our relationship to, and what we get out of water. However, we need to be informed in order to appreciate what structured water does on our behalf, and has been doing all along.

whole_home_x 

The unit operates in-line in your home or apartment’s plumbing, structuring water as it enters the house (covering all outlets), or just before it exits the kitchen faucet (via an under sink unit), garden hose, or shower head. A few restaurants in Sedona now include placards on their tables informing patrons that they proudly serve structured water. This is great to know, and a trend that will grow, as water is the only “beverage” that we cannot live without. And increasingly, it’s also the beverage that we’re also not healthy with.

Water that is not healthy itself, is also not structured, and in that state, cannot contribute to our health. In fact, it will take away from health and vitality.

Energetically speaking, structured water is most coherent. Without electricity, magnets, or filters that need replacing, Clayton’s device will structure tap water, taking it from a chaotic, large cluster size, to a more coherent, smaller cluster state. Unstructured water takes mineral resources and energy from us, whereas structured water gives bio-photon (living light) life force energy to us. Until recently, this has been hard to quantify scientifically, except through such subtle methods as applied kinesiology. But tests were recently conducted using an “electro-photonic imaging device” referred to as a GDV (which stands for gas-discharge visualization). Developed by Konstantin Korotkov, Ph.D.

I recently spent some time with Clayton (and separately with Dr. Korotkov) to discuss structured water, and subtle energy measurement. Here is a clip from the videotaped conversation.

If you’re interested in this full 52 minute conversation, let me know.

The public’s understanding of the subject is growing slowly. We’re still trying to understand such water-related terms as distilled, reverse osmosis, and ionized. It’s not readily apparent to most people what makes structured water special, and why we’re just now hearing about it, or even whether it’s legitimate. For these reasons and more, it has become important to me to learn more about water myself. I highly recommend that you do your own homework too.

An Amplifier of Subtle Energy Understanding

To anyone who has become familiar with my point of view, it is no news flash when I declar that all is energy. This is neither “me” nor “my” opinion, it’s a simple fact. Some opinions are true because they are true. Some opinions are “true” because the persons expousing them think they’re true. That is, until greater truths become demonstrable.

Dick Tracy comic strip. Started in 1931

Established in 1931.

It is quite possible to think that all is not energy too, and that would be an opinion and belief that is untrue. It takes energy to believe anything and everything, because even thoughts, even the ones that we don’t give energy to, are energy. They have their own characteristics and proclivities. However, they have no power in this world and reality that we live in, that is, unless we give it to them. Power is simply energy amplified.

We are amplifiers of energy. In fact, human beings are the energy amplifiers of this world. We do so by way of how we use our imagination, where we direct our attention, and the love (passion), or fear that we associate with each idea. We imagine persons, places, and things, and they become real, first in our mind, and eventually, in space and time.

Remember the Dick Tracy comic book character, and how the 2-way wrist radio that he used seemed far fetched, and believable only in a fictional story? Well today, we’ve not only matched, but surpassed, or at least, have conceptualized virtually every form of space-age technology that Chester Gould, Dick Tracy’s creator, introduced.

Look how far weve come.

Look how far we've come.

We’ve not been sitting still, nor are we ever. But it can seem that way. War, or the threat of war, is still a reality in many parts of the world, but so its peace. Consciousness has certainly not  been sitting still. Our world is changing as we are, individually and collectively. We are at the threshhold of a new understanding of energy, and our connection to all.

These ideas were not present in my mind when I sat down to write this entry, but I’m glad they showed up when they did. They serve as a fitting introduction to why I did sit down to write, which was, to announce my interview with Konstantin Korotkov, a physicist from St. Petersberg, Russia, whom I met recently in Taos, and then Santa Fe, New Mexico when he was here as a presenter at the 2009 edition of the Conference on Science and Consciousness.

Four Amigos -- Krishna Madappa (L), me, Konstantin Korotkov, and Clayton Nolte

Four Amigos -- Krishna Madappa (L), me, Konstantin Korotkov, and Clayton Nolte

It was a rare occasion for me (becoming less so, but rare nonetheless) to have such quality time with Konstantin, as well as Krishna Madappa, of the Institute for Science, Spirituality, and Sustainability, and a prime supporter of, and spokeman for the GDV technology in the United States.

“GDV”, which stands for “Gas Discharge Visualization,” is the term given to a system and technology developed by Dr. Korotkov, for which he holds several international patents. The importance of the device is that it (1) measures subtle energy, and (2) generates data about the energy measured that makes findings reproducable and independent of purely conjectural interpretation. In other words, the GDV opens the doorway to the scientific study and understanding of subtle energy. I’m going to tell you right now that as this is done ever more fully, our world will change be the same. I mean this in a good way.

I had the pleasure of meeting and spending much more than a sound byte’s amount of time with Dr. Korotkov, and it was great to explore his mind, share what’s in mind, and let it all come out through our hearts. We had this experience after his presentation on the University of New Mexico’s campus in Taos, at Krishna’s home.

This was a shared experience along with Krishna, and Clayton Nolte, developer of the bio-photon water structuring device that can be installed on a house or commercial water line. Clayton has begun using the GDV to test (and verify) the effect of structuring on the life-force energy in the water that flows through his water structuring unit. The results are amazing, and another subject we’ll cover in time, but that is why we came together.

Dr. Korotkov has done extensive research on the energetic properties of water, by way of the new levels of energetic sensitivity offered by the GDV, which he refers to in broad terms as an “electro-photonic imaging” (EPI) system. The common desire to better understand, quantify, and then report the properties of water in general, and structured water in particular, brought us together. This too is one of the things that will bring about a significant change in the way we do things… for the better.

Over the following weekend we attended Dr. Korotkov’s two-day GDV workshop, which I had the honor of videotaping, and am preparing for public availability. The following Tuesday, before he left Santa Fe to return to St. Petersberg, I interviewed Konstantin for my Talk For Food radio show.

For the next 30 weeks or so you can listen to the entire interview by following this link.  If the link is broken, please drop me a line.

With Clayton manning my camera, the interview was also captured for visual consumption. Given the bandwidth and file size disparities of video, I’ve prepared the clip below of the first 10 minutes.

Our world is changing, with many fearing the worse. However, what I’m feeling on the horizon is not reason for fear. It’s reason for joy and great anticipation. We create our futures through the predominant state in which we live the present. Those who live each moment in fear of the next, simply energize that experience for themselves. Fortunately, it doesn’t take 51% of the population to be in joy to counteract the effects of the fearful. More like 1%. That’s divine balance. That’s how much power is available to each of us energetically, all for the choice to embrace it.

Technology like the GDV are coming along to help even scientific disbelievers the truth. You don’t really need the GDV to know that joy and love are greater experiential and energetic positions than fear. But for those who are so into their left brain to think that joy and love are not meaningful, think again.

Cancer is on the world’s mind, due to the recent high profile deaths in the pro basketball community of coach Chuck Daly and former Phoenix Suns forward and jazz recording artist, Wayman Tisdale, and a video documentary on Farrah Faucett that was recently aired on NBC that was watched by over 9 million people. These very public profiles all model one thing: allopathic cancer treatment orthodoxy. Without saying a word, they suggest that this is the only viable way to treat the condition. This is one way that the medical industry, supported by government agencies and information outlets, leads the public down a gruesome and unnecessary primrose path.

During the NBA playoffs, sports commentators wore lapel pins engraved with the letters “CD” for Chuck Daly, who led the Detroit Pistons to consecutive NBA championships in 1989 and 1990. He succumbed to pancreatic cancer on May 9, 2009, at age 78.

During the NCAA tournament in March, Tisdale appeared at a University of Oklahoma game (his alma mater), to a thunderous ovation. His right leg had been amputated. The all-time leading scorer in Oklahoma basketball history, and popular jazz bassist, had included crutches among his list of tools. The reason was bone cancer. While subsequent news reports suggested that he was now cancer free, meaning tumor free, they failed to acknowledge that the terrain, the chemical milieu that courses through his body had, if anything, become more acutely toxic than before. Why? Because of the standard medical treatment.

According to his own video interview, Wayman Tisdale was given two rounds of the most powerful chemotherapy to “fight” the cancer growth within his body. Big mistake, but one that is STILL being made day in, and day out.

It’s a mistake because the very poisonous, highly acidic cancer cocktail only makes the body’s chemical terrain that much more fertile for cancerous growth and proliferation. Louis Pasteur realized that before he died, but medical science has been ignoring this fact for over 100 years. And when high profile people like Chuck Daley, Tisdale, and Jim Valvano before him, die in this very tragic way, the public assumes that there were no alternatives. When they see or hear that the FDA has cracked down on some little known individual or group simply because they haven’t (and won’t) approve their methods, or that the American Medical Association condemns a non-standard approach, or that their health insurance won’t cover it, they logically think that there are no better alternatives, which is untrue.

It’s easy to assume that because a person has money and access to “the best doctors,” that nothing will work if their “best” methods have failed. But that would be wrong. If all we did was understand balance, what it means for the body to be in balance, or homeostasis, and what it takes to re-establish it, no one would ever take chemotherapy or radiation again. Being a living form, the human body responds perfectly to what we expose it (and ourselves) to. Instead of thinking of it as a machine with disparate, expendable, and replaceable parts, it functions as a whole system whose only purpose is to optimize our life experience.

Wayman Tisdale is reported to have died of cancer. Yet, he had acute esophagitis. Essentially, he died from a large dose of acid being poured down his throat. That was not cancer. That was treatment. Yet, they said he died of cancer. He died of the treatment. If his doctors recognized the energetic anomaly that his bone cancer indicated, and took steps to clear any blockages that had been indicated, and then took further steps to safely raise the pH within his body chemistry by introducing more negative ion containing oxygen, he’d very likely be here today.

Truth is, we’re all going to exit this reality at some point in time, for some reason. But let’s stop doing it under such false assumptions. Dr. Jack Kevorkian was ostracised for assisting people who were ready to exit. Wayman Tisdale, at age 44, died for having a body out of balance, with cancer taking the convenient blame, which allows the treatment methods to continue on, unexamined, unquestioned, and unchanged. Cancer will never be “cured” that way. The good news is that it can be cured. “The how” is for you to know, and then find out.

An Impromptu Medicine Wheel with Peruvian Elders

medicine_wheel_01

SEDONA, AZ — While the president traveled to Tempe, AZ to speak at the ASU commencement ceremonies, I traveled to Sedona, and participated in a beautiful invocation of another kind.

You never know what to expect in Sedona, except perhaps, the spectacularly unexpected. Sedona is home to many fascinating people; artists, scientists, spiritual workers, and practitioners of many healing arts and sciences. David Hawkins, author of Power vs. Force, is one. Glenda Green, author of Love Without End, and  I’m told that jazz bass legend Stanley Clarke has been sighted around town, such as at the New Frontiers Natural Market on Hwy 89A. A breathtakingly beautiful place, Sedona energetic allure is well earned.

I have met, and am now friends with a growing number of people who call Sedona home, which is a scant 140 mile drive from metropolitan Phoenix. Some are scientists and innovators, producing products that assist humanity’s ascent from the dense vibrational and energetic morass that we’ve unwittingly and unconsciously dug for ourselves. The good news is that we can get out. The task at hand is learning how to do it.

I arrived yesterday in Sedona to videotape my friend Medicine Wolf, a scientist and Native American of Iroquois (Canadian) descent. His is the mentor that Dr. John Humiston referred to in my documentary, Understanding MMS: Conversations with Jim Humble. At the time Medicine Wolf and I had not met, and at the time it never occurred to me to even inquire as to where he was, or how he might be reached. Yet, the answer to both questions would come a year later, at the 2008 Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona. Even then, the connection wasn’t apparent to me .

In fact, when I first told Medicine Wolf about the documentary, he recognized Dr. Humiston, but I still didn’t make the connection to him. However, time passed (as it usually does), and one day while reviewing some of Dr. Humiston’s segments in the documentary, the light finally went on that Don Wolf, a Canadian-born scientist of Iroquois descent, was the man I had now come to know as Medicine Wolf. Without trying, life had connected these two dots.

MW with his wife Ambaya

So much for the back story.

I’ve been impressed with Medicine Wolf’s products, which require such terms as “monatomic,” “ormus technology,” “zeolite,” and “high spin rate” to describe them. Needless to say, they also require some education. Before there can be large scale acceptance and use of these products, even though they address many of the issues that must be resolved before an ascension involving the physical form can occur, some education is necessary. I’ve stepped to videotape a series of short conversations with Medicine Wolf, which will introduce his concept of five facets that make up the healing process. They are:

  1. Hydration
  2. Remineralization
  3. Detoxification
  4. Regeneration
  5. Integration

I will get into these at a later time… or perhaps Medicine Wolf will. My trip here was to tape the last two facets. However, before that, I was greeted with a surprise. A group of Elders from Bolivia and Peru, who were still in town from the Gathering of the Elders event that occurred several weeks ago nearby.

mw_03

Some of these men bear striking resemblance to people I saw in a documentary on 2012, where the filmmaker went to Peru, Lake Titicaca, and other locales. In addition to the Elders, a man arrived who had in his possession, a crystal sphere — perhaps the size of a tennis ball — that was collected from a submerged pyramid off the coast of Bimini Island in the Atlantic ocean. He came to share the sphere, and its energies with the Elders, who retained Atlantean (from Atlantis) knowledge.

I did not go there as a journalist, so I did not collect names. I simply had the experience. In fact, I was permitted to videotape the telling of the story as to how the sphere was originally acquired, and what it means today. That footage is forthcoming.

medicine_wheel_02

That was indoors. Afterwards, we went outdoors to the magnificent Medicine Wheel that has been installed in the property’s courtyard. The crystal sphere was blessed and placed in a bowl of water, its energies allowed to infuse the living fluid. And everyone present, myself included, were given ample opportunity to receive and experience it directly.

These photos are of the ceremony. I’ll add more soon. But today, another adventure beckons in this enchanted land!

A Matter of Choice: The Power of Fear or Love on Swine Flu

In the face of the panic button that has been pushed around the swine flu and its potential implications, it would be wise to consider that the past doesn’t have to repeat itself, and in spite of all the stress-inducing alarmist hype, our worst fears don’t have to happen, and most often do not.

The dictum to “remember the past or be doomed to repeat it” only applies when no new available information has been considered and new intelligence not demonstrated. When no new intelligence is demonstrated due to closed mindedness, it doesn’t really matter if we remember the past or not. If fear is our advisor and decision maker, then “misery as usual” will be the rule rather than the exception, thus becoming the chief descriptor of our personal experience.

It’s a choice we will each make.

There is FAR LESS danger associated with the potential effects of the swine flu than we are being led to believe. That is, UNLESS we fall in to fear. In fear we see ourselves as helpless and hopeless when nothing could be further from the truth.

We have been backwards and upside down on so many concepts that have negative reinforcing properties for so long, that it seems appropriate to think we’re on the brink. We ARE on the brink of major change. However, how the change unfolds is up to each person to determine. All will have the option to rise in love, or fall in fear.

swineflu

This too is a choice.

Ever notice how we “fall in love?” Being in love is the best place to be right now (and always), especially when fears run high. While it’s great to be in love with another, I’m talking about being in love with one’s self. Understanding and appreciating your existence and the great Gift of Life that you embody.

Loving yourself, knowing who you are, and how you are already in possession of everything you need to protect yourself and loved ones, changes your outlook on everything and everyone.

Love lifts the spirits, and with the lifting of the spirit comes an increase in life force energy within our entire being. These are not simply flowery woo woo proclamations.

Placing ourselves in a loving attitude has a calming, harmonizing effect on our cell physiology. It also increases circulation and has a structuring effect on the water that flows within the body, and the organizing effect on the energy field that flows around, and extends beyond it. This produces and enhances a field around us that ultimately influences what happens to us — what we actually experience — from one moment to the next.

Only in fear is there a “fall.” There is a fall in energy, as well as in perceived harmonic options. Only in separation is there a diminution of force and perceived protective effect. This is amplified when a bunch of fearful people get together. Yet, just one individual who enters a room in love can transform an entire mountain of fear.

This too is a matter of choice.

Notice how, on news reports, the predominant advice is that to protect yourself from getting the swine flu, you need to cover yourself, wash obsessively, and limit your contact with others. This is another way of saying, “be afraid, be very afraid.”

I’m not suggesting that you’re going to be kissing and engaging in foreplay with everyone you encounter, but the overlying effect of the predominant advice is to be fearful, protect yourself, and isolate yourself. Believe me, being in a fearful state, by believing that you are susceptible to attack by an unseen marauder, is far worse than being comfortable in your own skin, and in your body’s innate ability to protect you so that you don’t inhibit your friendliness and kindness towards others, strangers and loved ones alike.

Love elevates and protects. Fear triggers a descent into vulnerability. Love turns life up. Fear turns it down with deathly forebodings. Love both illumines and illuminates. Fear dims and sublimates. Love increases energetic motility. Fear brings stasis. Love increases curiosity that, when expressed through exploration, leads to understanding and wisdom. In fear we close our eyes and mind, and become hosts to, and victims of chaotic visions.

Both fear and love will take you forward, but the journeys will be quite different.

Your choice.

Two Swine Flu Conversations On Talk For Food

With the world’s attention riveted on swine flu, I invited Jim Humble and Perry A~ to address the subject relative to MMS, and living clay. A precautionary warning: the audio connection with Jim was terrible, but the information important.

Pandemics, Contagion, and the ‘Zone of Flu’

Pasadena, CA — News stories reporting the outbreak and spread of swine flu in Mexico and the U.S. are breaking out like, well, a virus. The public is being “warned” and put “on alert” about what some feel may become a pandemic. The literal meaning of “pandemic,” from its original Greek, is all people. However, the alarm is more significant for what it overlooks and omits.

The news reports leave you knowing little about whether you have the swine flu, but believing that you may have it enough to take the only solution that they guide you to, an antiviral drug called Fluzone®.

The contagion associated with influenza, no matter what it’s called, is due to two things: (1) an already compromised immune system by some people, and (2) sufficient belief by others who may, but most likely will not have the same thing.

Yet, if they believe it enough to take the drug, then their chances of getting the real thing is actually increased, in large part because of their gross receptivity to the idea of having swine flu.

With a population of almost 110 million people, 100 deaths due to flu-like symptoms are most likely happening all the time. Why is it that this situation different? Why is it deemed appropriate to but a neighboring country (the U.S.) on alert?

Then, they don’t tell you other methods of addressing the condition. A body that is in balance, or homeostasis, will not be affected by flu, swine or otherwise. They don’t let the people they’ve alarmed know this. They don’t give us information on how to restore balance. Yet, Fluzone will not restore balance. Indeed, many of the side-effects of Fluzone are… well, flu like. Fluzone takes a body that is out of balance further out of balance. The only way to get back into balance by going further out, is via death.

More soon…

Jim Humble’s Niger Adventure Revealed

jim_humble

A few weeks ago I reported that I’d be visiting Jim Humble, as he had taken a trip to Africa, and wanted to tell what happened. He felt it would be a short conversation, but wanted it to be on video, and I was ready to accommodate, and make it part of my show, Talk For Food. I’ve since produced the radio podcast of my seventh conversation with Jim, but left the story out due to its length.

But now, here it is, on its own, on video.

Jim’s energy level was much lower than normal, the result of a persistent sick feeling that did not go away, even with MMS. He shares some of his thoughts on what happened and why.

I’m happy to say that, having talked with him earlier this week, he sounds his normal self again.

To ‘Consume’ or Produce? It Shouldn’t be a Question

While I have written two of the greatest books rarely to be read (I Am My Body, NOT! is one), the following quotation is as relevant today as it was when I first wrote it over 12 years ago.

The People of the United States are creativity and innovation standard setters of the world because freedoms of speech and trade have been the institutional underpinnings of our nation. The “system” works for all who choose to use it. Yet, we are faced with challenges, because while some people do exploit or abuse the system, the larger problem is that not enough people use it at all, except as “consumers.” While we are all consumers to some degree, we need to become producers in order to truly be freed. — from A Freed Man: An Emancipation Proclamation by Adam Abraham

Consumerism is not a bad thing, but it is oftentimes inherently passive. In matters where personal trust, reliance, and action is critical, “the consumer” waits for someone else to act, to come up with the solution for our problems or challenges. Consumers look to “experts” to take the risks, shoulder the responsibility of they take, ostensibly on our behalf, and also to reap the rewards (or the blame) for their apparent success or failure. Consumers do this without realizing the tremendous power that they are not only failing to use on their own behalf, but are giving to others who, by their actions, are not necessarily looking out for them.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is a great example of an organization thought to have great power, actually conferred by the People of the United States, but is being used to protect the financial interests of pharmaceutical manufacturers more so than the health of the People. They are not alone, and I’m not suggesting that this is intentional. They may believe that they are looking out for our interests. However, many of their policies promote practices that build drug dependencies that continue to have adverse on human health. Look at a typical oncologist’s tool box, and the success rate for cancer, versus the results of natural treatment approaches, to see what I mean.

The problem with consumerism is when we think that it’s all that we are, and that we don’t possess what it takes to produce the results that we seek. On the other hand, we’ve got to ask ourselves whether the strategy is working to our satisfaction, for if not, the creative and innovative producer must emerge from within.

Americans are standard setters only to the extent that the freedoms alluded to above, outlined in the Constitution, and elucidated in the Bill of Rights, are maintained. While we’re deployed in various spots around the world under the guise of “protecting freedom,” they are being siphoned away from within, and from our own. This is nothing new, but in the times that are currently before us, a reminder is more than timely. It is necessary.

No country on earth has demonstrated as much per capita productivity, wealth, and as high a standard of living as the United States, given the degree of its diversity.

American consumerism has evolved into its own self-obsession. We seldom have faith in our ability to stand tall on the strength and efficacy of our own intelligent vision, and instead, cling desperately to any ship that hasn’t sunk, even when its demise is inevitable.

Like the financial system that sustains it, the health care system’s demise is inevitable, simply because it has long been out of integrity with its own stated goals. If health is the goal of health care, then it should be the effect of interacting with it. Too often, this is no longer the case. For millions who have developed chronic life conditions, interacting with the health care industry and its predominant treatment modalities, has become a slow and painful fleecing of finances and life itself; a denial and insult to our true nature and potential.

I find it ironic that the American Dream is on life support among Americans and we’re still trying to treat it with, figuratively speaking, what amounts to radiation and chemotherapy.

Throwing dollars of decreasing value at a problem is very “old school,” and gets us more of what we say we don’t want. It happened with the War on Poverty and the War on Cancer. It’s happening with the War on Terror. The president has demonstrated wisdom not to declare “war” on uninsured health insurance coverage, but his strategy for addressing it is the same.

Truly addressing our health care concerns would mean providing support for, and giving preference to, methods and modalities that produce the intended results, especially when such approaches exist and are available.

Traditional allopathic medical practices that “attack” the invaders that have come to proliferate in the human body, are not producing the results that patients want. They don’t even ensure the economic viability of the system. Cost inflammation is just as rampant as inflammation, and balance is the solution for both.

You could say that president Obama’s initiative to get the 46 million uninsured Americans health care coverage is a “stimulus” for the health care industry. $634 billion over 10 years hasn’t yet become insignificant as the value of the U.S. dollar continues to plummet. It would mean new billings, new prescriptions, new tests, and procedures, all “paid for” by dollars created from thin air by the Federal Reserve (that would have to be repaid), and by the health that never gets adequately restored, as the health care system’s track record clearly shows.

So it’s not really a stretch to say Washington is trying to treat the American Dream with radiation and chemotherapy, because these two poisons are still considered legitimate “go to” options by the medical profession, even when death — more often of the patient, and not the disease — is the result. For too long, that has been an acceptable tradeoff, but no longer.

News commentators report that unemployment rates of 8 and 9 percent, and cast a heart numbing pall of despair into the airwaves. I see that same information and note a 91 or 92 percent rate of employment. Same information, but very different feeling when you look at it. Even in the state of Michigan, the employment rate is over 90%. This speaks well for the strength of the economy in spite of the challenges that the American people face. And for those that are unemployed? This time signals a time of opportunity, to take a fresh look at what you’ve done with your life, and what experiences you want to produce from here on out. This take on the current situation rarely comes from the talking heads. Yet, if it were presented this way, more people might not feel like things are going to hell in a hand basket.

It would also help to let people know that each is a producer, already. Some are active, but most are not. We produce ideas, thoughts, dreams, and beliefs. We use energy to bring life to these immeasurable underpinnings of reality, then we place ourselves within them.

If we’re seeing life as stressful, rife with difficulty, then that is how things will play out for us. Yet, we will be producing the stress, as well as the “drama” that surrounds it.

Presently, relatively few people have embraced the idea that we create our reality. Yet, this concept is at the fundamental core and center of quantum mechanics, which presents that reality literally forms and organizes itself according to the observer. In other words, the particles that we recognize as constituting our reality, organize and behave according to our sense of possibility (or impossibility).

This notion is supported by the groundbreaking work of Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief (you can listen to my interview with him by visiting his site and click the Talk For Food link). It appears that, whether we believe it or not, we are creating our reality. It also appears that reality forms and emerges according where we focus our attention, and how we interpret what we see (not knowing that what we see is our creation).

It is also evident that after getting over the initial shock that we have created our own mess (and even “the mess” is an interpretation and judgment), not “they,” we can actually have some fun creating life anew, but with awareness and intention.

Many Americans have succumb to “glass is half empty” syndrome. They focus on lack, often gently and “innocently” led there by advertisements and news stories that hint of ever-present vulnerability, and by toxins and chemicals that block and distort our sense of connection to each other, to the planet, and to our Source. Nonetheless, we remain connected to all of the above, and remain creators of our realities.

The question now before us is whether we’ll continue to blindly consume, and fearfully struggle for scarce resources, our expand our awareness, forgive ourselves and those we thought were our nemeses, and begin producing a new reality from a bountiful place of power that rests within the heart of each of us?

Sacred White Buffalos: Plight of a National Treasure

dena_at_the_fence

Although some have questioned her right to do so, Dena Riley is a woman that has taken on a great responsibility. She is the custodian of the largest herd of white buffalos in the world, which now totals a very improbable 11.

Births of white buffalos are extremely rare; some have estimated one in 10 million and more. Adding additional significance to the very rare birth rate is a Native American prophecy of the Lakota people, that goes back almost 2,000 years, about the return of the white buffalo.

san_francisco_peaks_1

According to the prophecy, originally given by White Buffalo Calf Woman, the white buffalo would return at a time of great chaos and strife among the people of the world. It would hardly be argued that such chaos and strife are at unprecedented levels today, as we are on the threshold of what would represent global transformational change, or total annihilation. The return of white buffalo would symbolize the Universe’s leaning and intent toward the former.

With all that said, you’d think that Dena Riley’s stewardship of these massive, but gentle animals, would be characterized by great cooperation and support, not only by Native American people, but by all of humanity. Indeed, their return is not suggested to be the province of any given ethnic group, but instead, is a reminder that our greatest opportunity for advancement as a species will come by seeing ourselves and people of all nations, as equals; members of one family. Such cooperation and support has been the notable exception, not the rule.

white_buffaloI learned of Dena and the white buffalo herd last fall upon meeting Jana Shilo, a Sedona-based practitioner of homeopathy as winter approached. While homeopathy itself became a subject of interest, I was most intrigued by a homeopathic product that she had developed, from white buffalo, which she called, White Buffalo Bliss. That was nice, but it didn’t mean much to me until she explained the rarity of the white buffalo, and the Lakota prophecy surrounding it. As she explained some of the consistently remarkable experiences that people have reported after spritzing some of the solution on, I had to know more.

That’s when she informed me of how she came to create the essence, and that the source was in Arizona. As I prepared myself to hear of the attraction that this collection of animals must have become, I learned instead of their trials and tribulations. It hasn’t been a pretty picture.

The first birth, to a white buffalo calf that was named, Miracle Moon, came in April, 1997. They had a small animal farm, raising miniature horses and llamas on 66 acres at the time. The ranch was located in northeast tip of Wyoming, between Alzada Montana and Bell Fourche, South Dakota. But when Jim developed allergies to these animals, they began looking for another animal that allowed them to share their passion for stewardship, and of being and working together as a couple. Buffalos filled the bill. Dena was also drawn by the fact that they made great lawn mowers. That led to their first acquisition, a buffalo named Dances.

When Dances died suddenly from an infection, much to the dismay of the bull Dena and Jim had acquired for her, their search resulted in three females, all of which were pregnant. They were also warned that a young bull might attempt to kill the mother’s newborn. So a tense birth watch ensued.

Sure enough, the started bull did indeed attempt to toss the newborn calf into the next time zone while it was still in the birth sack. After it landed, Jim didn’t allow another attempt. He quickly moved between the bull and the calf on his ATV, scooped up the baby and whisked it away to safety. At first its seemed that his heroic effort might have been all in vein, as the calf appeared to be lifeless. Yet, after a short period of time, the mother began to lick the calf, which then demonstrated signs of life. It played out like a miracle indeed.

Beyond the drama surrounding it, the birth didn’t seem overly significant at the time. Perhaps the bigger news was that two other calves (not white buffalos) were born in fairly rapid succession. Miracle Moon’s coat was red, like all newborn buffalos. But with the passage of time, all that changed, as the coloration of white buffalos shifts each year with the seasons, to include red, yellow, black, and white.

By 2001, two more white buffalos, Rainbow Spirit and Mandela Peace Pilgrim, both females, had been born. An isolated phenomena was morphing into a phenomenon. Health reasons, and a desire to be closer to family, led to the decision to move to Arizona. But while the number of white buffalo births continued to rise, the vision of growth and prosperity for the Riley couple did not materialize.

On May 4, 2008, one month to the day after Jim’s death, a female, Jim’s “Be Happy Spirit” was born. She was the 10th white buffalo to join the family. Eleven days later, on May 15th, the 11th calf, Dena’s “Pride and Joy” was born.

When I learned of Dena and the white buffalo herd, winter was beginning to set in in Arizona’s high country. Situated on five acres, the Rileys were confident that there would be plenty of land to allow them to expand their property, and allow the herd to roam and feed on grass, their natural source of nutrition (as it is for cattle, which are now fed grain).

The many neighboring land parcels that sold for $20,000 around the time the Sacred Mountain Ranch arrived, all of a sudden carried $150,000 price tags. The dream of expansion, and building an attraction that could be enjoyed by thousands of people on their way to and from the Grand Canyon, was up in smoke. The facility still sits on the five acres that it was founded on.

A “Sorry We’re Closed” sign greets the visitor who might stop to see if anyone is home. A large fence conceals the sacred treasure that might be seen from the road by passers by. Electricity is by generator, which requires a 20 mile trip into Flagstaff to refuel. The generator also makes it possible to water the herd. Bales of hay, which is the only way that the herd can be fed, cost $20 each, and go through five of them daily.

There have been other challenges, including criticism by some (not all) members of the Native American community, who took exception to the fact that this amazing phenomenon were not under the jurisdiction of a Native American nation, and curious, even adversarial treatment by Coconino County officials. While it might be considered enough to break the spirit of most, the problems haven’t dampened the enthusiasm that Dena has for these gentle creatures. The enthusiasm remains, but the desire to move to more suitable land, now drives Dena Riley.

Angels have come, sometimes at the eleventh hour, to offer financial assistance. One such angel came and offered more… a helping hand. Glen traveled to Arizona all the way from England to help feed and water the herd, do poop duty (well, I guess a buffalo produces POOP instead of “poop”), and generally help in any way he’s needed. Europeans have shown great generosity for this treasure that walks on U.S. soil.

Land has been donated in Oregon that would allow the herd to move, but the eleventh hour persists.

LISTEN

I invite you to listen to my Talk For Food interview with Dena Riley, and find your own heart. They need your help, although if you get Jana Shilo’s White Buffalo Bliss, there would be mutual benefit (a portion of proceeds will be donated to the 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization that John and Dena organized.

The Sacred White Buffalo don’t belong to any group, and the fact that some would take issue with the ethnicity of their caretakers shows that snobbism can infect any mind, no matter who you are or what your traditions. I wish they weren’t leaving Arizona, but I’d rather them be adequately cared for wherever they are.

Let’s celebrate the white buffalo, and the amazing times that we have entered.

A Day in the Life: On the Cusp of Quantum of Change

It was a beautiful, sunny day when I left Phoenix for Santa Fe, NM yesterday — this is a sight I had to capture as I drove through the town of Holbrook. They were at a rock shop on the town’s main drag.

dinos_on_the_street

But snow is the key word for my experience now. Below is a picture of my trusty sidekick my vintage 1993 Lexus SC300 that, with 72,000 miles on him, has barely been broken in. I call him “Lex.” He’s driven everyday, and was eager to get out on the road and run. Others may be shivering, but under that blanket of snow, Lex is a happy camper.

When we go to high power, high efficiency, low emission transportation technologies that obsolete the internal combustion engine as we presently know it, there will be a market for products that give you the sound and feel of wonderful machines such as these, but deliver all the other benefits that also come with paradigm shifts.

After the 450 mile drive, I met up with Clayton Nolte, developer of the water structuring device I’ve written about recently, who I’ve interviewed, and whose products are available on my e-commerce website. We then traveled another 75 miles or so to Taos (Clayton drove), to meet Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, developer of a technology called Gas Discharge Visualization, or GDV. He spoke at the Taos campus of the University of New Mexico to an audience of around fifty people. And while his presentation was broad in the subjects covered, it included structured water, the importance of which is only now beginning to be understood.

Dr. Korotkov is here at the behest of Krishna Madappa, a holistic consultant and Ayurvedic specialist, and a founding member of the Institute for Science, Spirituality and Sustainability, based in Taos.

Afterwards, we went to Krishna’s home where his wife had prepared a most delectable pot of “green” soup with puréed broccoli, lentils, and other items, and had one of the most remarkable conversations I’ve ever been involved in. It was one of those — “I wish this had been recorded” exchanges that really set a comfortable resonance for the workshop that Dr. Korotkov will preside over this weekend.

_SED4409

On the two hour trip back down to Santa Fe, on a now snow covered mountain road, Clayton and I shared our amazement and profound sense of great value that the evening bestowed upon us, as well as for humanity as a whole. The simple hugs that we exchanged as we left, were far more profound in the energy gift that was also given, and that shall continue to come forth as we delve further into the subject of structured water, energy, and consciousness itself.

More on that later, but I have some updates to give on two other subjects, so please stay tuned.
