4 - The Body is a Battery

The human body is a wonderful thing. It is a self-charging, self-regulating, and self-repairing battery. However, we are not our body. If we examine the "I" in ourselves, we will find that there is more "I" than there is body, and therefore conclude that the "I" could be in control of the body. We can improve the performance of the body by causing the "I" to increase the positive charge in the body. By removing items that create a negative charge, such as toxic diet, impure air, excess noise, excess physical disturbance, and intake of impure matter, we make room for the increase in positive charge. Then we can increase the elements that generate positive charge, such as pure food and water, clean air, peaceful atmosphere, sunshine, exercise and love. By removing negative elements, and increasing positive elements, then we find that the positive charge increases to the point where we achieve unbelievable levels of vitality. We are able to do more of the many things that we truly enjoy, and which are truly of benefit to ourselves, to others, and to the planet that hosts us. If we allow the positive charge to drain away by indulging in negative habits, then eventually there is insufficient positive charge, and the body ceases to function properly, or at all.

It is easy to witness citizens who have a low positive charge, as they are lacking in energy, short tempered and intolerant. This is not a basis on which to build foundations of a long and satisfying life, and is indicative of a society that is regressing. There is some time remaining, but very little. The rapid increase of the total negative charge is causing the positive charge of the planet to deplete, and soon, if we make no change, the planet will be unable to support human life. There is no future for human life as we know it today, with most people locked inside their own illusion. The environment is degrading, the financial status of the controlling currency, the dollar, has been propped up for so long that it is now laughable, the medical industry is filling us full of mind-numbing drugs, our food contains less nutrition every year, our media feeds us more lies, and everything points to an imminent collapse of society. We must be fit and ready

Anxiety and “Corona Fear”

On the Significance of Fear in Human Social Life

Fears of Life Severely Restrict Individual and Social Life By Dr. Rudolf Hänsel

Global Research, November 01, 2021

First published July 30, 2021

***

Anxiety disorders not only have a negative impact on a person’s mental and physical health, his or her profession and love, they also impair the development of social life, since the ability of adult citizens to make decisions is severely restricted. Fears of life, in the sense of persistent feelings of diffuse anxiety for which there is no real, concrete reason, go beyond the natural sense of anxiety and fear with which human beings are born. Since they are acquired only in the course of upbringing and socialisation, they can in principle be overcome. This specialist article in generally understandable language is also intended to provide the interested layperson with insight into the human soul.

Natural basic feeling of fear versus irrational fear of life

Every child is born with the feeling of fear and anxiety because the essence of life is afflicted with fear and anxiety. Without this fear, without this caution – the fear of losing life – the development of the human being and of life in general would not be possible. Not only the human being, but also the smallest being, which can only be observed under the microscope, paves its way and retreats in the face of danger.

While this basic feeling of human anxiety and fear sustains life, irrational fears of life that arise from an unobjective attitude on the part of parents and educators as well as the environment severely restrict human feeling, thinking and acting. Such fear of life can develop to the point of insanity. The balanced, healthy person who has been less damaged will also feel anxiety and fear, but he will not panic so easily, he will not lose his senses.

The first foundation for these fears of life is laid by the parents, the mother and the father. This is the world of the child. The way the mother and father deal with him, which cultural – and especially religious – values and feelings they pass on to the child, that ultimately results in the person’s attitude to life: the degree of courage and the degree of fearfulness. One has a lot of fear, the other less.

Before the child thinks, it already feels and experiences the attitude of the adults. Even if the mother is wholehearted when she gives birth to her child, she usually does not know how to deal with the child. She brings it up well, but with the portent of authority, force, coercion and rebuke. And this leads to the adult not being able to appreciate the other person. He has not experienced him in his feelings as a friend, but as an opponent. The interpersonal relationship has been disturbed: The authoritarian upbringing leads to fear and partiality towards the other person.

Let’s Join Our Fellow Human Beings in Order to Survive as a Human Species!

In addition, there is religious upbringing: as soon as the small child shows the first mental impulses and learns to speak, it is “taken into care” by society, i.e. by the parents and the church. It is made clear to him that his nature is not allowed to develop freely with regard to his feeling for nature and his world view. Then, in the 3rd year of life, God and the devil of the religion in question intervene and teach the child not to trust in itself, but to let itself be guided and controlled by supernatural powers. The child learns about the fear of demons and acquires fears that turn against man.

Eventually, the young person steps out into the world and experiences the same thing over and over again. In our culture, violence is always used. Even the teacher’s attitude at school is authoritarian – even when he does not hit. The child does not live in a friendly world. Everything is a continuation of the educational problem at home. Whether in school, in teaching, in the military or in the university: the idea of authority is cultivated everywhere.

The human reflex of absolute obedience as a result of unconscious fears

As already mentioned, most people react to these fears of life as if they were confused and paralysed. As a result, not only their very personal lives suffer, but also their actions in society. Very quickly they are ready to give up their own thinking, to go along with the opinion of supposed authorities and to obey unquestioningly. This happens largely unconsciously. The feeling of fear overtakes the person, he cannot help himself.

A tsunami of anxiety disorders in adults and young people

The measures taken by politicians for more than a year, ostensibly to protect the health of the population, have triggered a veritable tsunami of severe anxiety disorders and helplessness among young and old. The potential for destruction in terms of human health and human life in general is on an enormous scale worldwide. Everything that makes life worth living has been turned upside down. And this damage done will be irreparable. Among the measures taken are all the irregular political decisions. Since every citizen felt and still feels them first hand, there is no need to enumerate them again here.

Raphael Bonelli: “Explosive study! Do MEDIA & CORONA POLITICS have human lives on their conscience?”

Finally, a recent scientific study should be mentioned, to which the Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist Raphael M. Bonelli recently referred in a video entitled “Brisante Studie! Do MEDIA & CORONA POLITICS have human lives on their conscience?”. Bonelli concluded: fear kills! The main message of the study is: Fear leads to more severe courses of disease and even death in COVID-19. Anyone interested is recommended to watch the entire video.

The emotional overcoming of fear

How should a person overcome these fears of life? Depth-psychologically oriented psychotherapy has an answer to this question: the emotional overcoming of the partly unconscious fears is best achieved within the framework of psychotherapy in connection with rational knowledge and reading.

Of course, one can always appeal to the fellow citizen that he should give up the general fear of life, or that he need not be afraid of other people because they have nothing against him, or that he should make friends with people. But these appeals will have little success. To be able to give up fear, one needs professional help. The anxious person cannot give up this feeling until he has experiences with a person, for example with a psychotherapist, that are in contrast to his father, mother and teacher, that is, to his experiences in childhood. He has to experience that there is a person who gives him the feeling of trust.

The fears he experienced emotionally with his father and mother, before he could even think about them, he can slowly put aside with the therapist. He experiences that a person understands him. This opens his eyes and he begins to assess himself and the other person correctly and to understand that the parents did not know how to deal with the child. He reconciles with them.

He also begins to read and acquire the necessary knowledge about people and the world, which puts his fears in a realistic light. Psychotherapy is hard work on the character. But when he has changed his feeling, he is no longer afraid of the other person, lightning or even the devil and hell. The wrong opinions of grandparents or parents then fade away.

By means of psychology, one can acquire a new view of life and oneself, of people and the world. Of course, this makes high demands on the psychologist and therapist. The psychologist must be ready to know and explain why the person seeking help has these fears and how to overcome them. He must also know how to talk to the help-seeker. In a way, he has to “blow up” the help-seeker’s opinion that his parents and grandparents have given him and give him a new and realistic one.

Unfortunately, a large percentage of people are unable to confront their own opinion with a new one. However, it is only with a transformation of feelings and thoughts that we begin to see the world differently, abandon the irrational fears of life and stop obeying.

Archbishop Viganò Writes Stunning Letter On Vaccine Program

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has written a stunning letter to America’s bishops in which he makes several astounding claims about COVID-19 jabs and the Church’s role in promoting vaccines.

Viganò asserts that vaccines normally go through years of rigorous testing, and that the lack of such a process in the case of COVID-19 jabs represents public health authorities conducting “experimentation on the entire world population.”

The Archbishop referenced drug treatments that have proven effective in fighting COVID without the risks of vaccines, noting that such drugs have been discredited by global health bodies and the media.

“It must be reiterated that there are effective treatments which cure patients and allow them to develop permanent natural immune defenses, something that the vaccines do not do,” he wrote.

“Furthermore, these treatments do not cause serious side effects, since the drugs that are used have been licensed for decades.”

“International standards specify that an experimental drug cannot be authorized for distribution except in the absence of an effective alternative treatment: this is why drug agencies in the USA and Europe have prevented the use of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, hyper-immune plasma, and other therapies with proven effectiveness,” he added.

Viganò goes on to state that the vaccines proving ineffective in preventing people from getting and passing on the virus means they can’t even be called vaccines.

“In fact a “vaccine” is defined as a medicinal preparation aimed at inducing the production of protective antibodies by the organism, conferring specific resistance against a specific infectious disease (viral, bacterial, protozoal). This definition was recently changed by the WHO, because otherwise it would not have been able to include anti-Covid drugs, which do not induce the production of protective antibodies and do not confer a specific resistance against the SarsCoV-2 infectious disease.”

The Archbishop went on to assert it was a moral “duty” to refuse inoculation given what we now know about the vaccine program.

“Worldwide, the number of deaths and grave pathologies following vaccination is increasing exponentially: in only nine months these vaccines have caused more deaths than all vaccines in the last thirty years. Not only this: in many nations – such as Israel for example – the number of deaths after vaccination is now greater than the number of deaths from Covid.”

Viganò went to to assert it would be “immoral and unacceptable” for Catholics to take the vaccine given revelations by Pfizer executives that the jabs contain material from aborted fetuses.

The Archbishop expressed his fury at other members of the clergy and Pope Francis himself for facilitating a “crime against humanity” and “satanic action against God.”

Viganò pulled no punches in outlining the wider agenda at play.

“I realize that it may be extremely unpopular to take a position against the so-called vaccines, but as Shepherds of the flock of the Lord we have the duty to denounce the horrible crime that is being carried out, whose goal is to create billions of chronically ill people and to exterminate millions and millions of people, based on the infernal ideology of the “Great Reset” formulated by the President of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab and endorsed by institutions and organizations around the world.”

Viganò previously wrote to then President Donald Trump asserting that the COVID-19 pandemic is part of a plot to impose a “health dictatorship” and that Trump is “the final garrison” in stopping this agenda.

Last year, we also highlighted how Cardinal Raymond Burke warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is being exploited by proponents of “The Great Reset” to “advance their evil agenda.”

This plandemic provides time to upgrade your way of thinking, and this book is perfect to get you started on a new path and a new way of looking at life.

A gentle suck on the red pill.

I Want to Change the World

6 Easy Ways to Start a Revolution

November 5th, 2021

By Aletheia Luna

Guest writer for Wake Up World

Have you ever stared at your bedroom ceiling in the middle of the night thinking, “I want to change the world … I want to make some kind of difference to this planet, but I have NO IDEA how”?

Perhaps you’ve searched far and wide for a way you can feel as though you are doing enough, being enough, and making enough meaningful change. Perhaps you’ve even read books about social change, or studied courses in tertiary institutions about how to make society a better place to live.

But in the end, nothing feels enough.

Have you ever dealt with this?

With all of the terror, violence, greed, exploitation, pollution, and annihilation wreaking havoc in our world, it’s no wonder that most of us feel minuscule and completely powerless in the face of such horror. How can WE as singular, average, and commonplace people possibly start a revolution? How can we possibly live our lives full-well knowing that we are doing our very best and benefiting the world in the largest way possible?

Like you, I am ordinary and feel tiny in the face of such overwhelming challenges. I’m not particularly strong, I rarely have energy, I’m not good at networking or socializing, and I have premature hearing loss in both ears. However, what I DO have is willpower, and this has been more valuable than any other quality in my life. Why? Because I may not be the strongest, most capable, most charming, most extraordinary person in the world, but I do have passion – and that is all that counts when it comes to starting a revolution.

Do you have passion? Do you have willpower? Because if you do, you are a natural-born revolutionary; you are a god-given trail-blazer.

I Want to Change the World, but I’m Only Ordinary – How?

I want to change the world. I always have ever since I stepped out of the innocent haze of childhood. And although I’m ordinary, I know that that’s not an excuse to give up and play the mindless games of a society that is built on fear, ego, ignorance, and control.

Will you join me on this quest to form a more wise, loving and peaceful world? Will you give up your stories of what you “should” be like and “have to do” and open up to what you really can achieve? Will you let go of your concepts of what a revolutionary “must look like,” your unrealistic self-expectations, and your desire to find your self-worth in your outer success, and truly create change?

If so, keep reading:

1. Make a serious conscious effort to develop empathy for others.

Sol once said to me, “Change can never come, has never come, and will never come, from trying to influence an external system.” Why? Because the only real form of change comes from within. How can you, from a place of hatred and emotional instability, teach love and inner peace? It just doesn’t work, and it never ever will. That is why as hard as we try to force outer change, we only create ripples on the surface of the much larger lake of global pain.

This is why I prescribe empathy. In the emotional apothecary, empathy is the only emotion that truly helps us to understand and feel compassion for others. Empathy is the only emotion that allows us to truly forgive others, and therefore develop a deep conscious form of love. You absolutely can’t experience true compassion, forgiveness, or love for others unless you can first feel their pain and suffering.

Many people confuse empathy with pity. Empathy is not looking down on a person and feeling sorry for them, empathy is actually making the effort to understand why a person thinks, feels, believes, and behaves the way they do. The reality is that there is a huge empathetic deficit in our society: most of us are not empathetic beings, this is the reality. Finally, empathy is not just about putting yourself in the shoes of the less fortunate; empathy is about learning to deeply understand everyone in your life, including those you can’t stand being around and hate with a passion.

2. Learn to authentically love yourself.

If you want to change the world you need to learn how to love yourself. This is vital and absolutely imperative. How can you truly create any meaningful change if you continue to hate yourself, punish yourself, and act like your own worst enemy? As is so often said, you need to be the change. You need to embody the change that you wish to see, rather than demanding everything around you to change first. You can never force another person to change unless they are first willing to – but you CAN change yourself.

3. Support non-gmo, free-range meat (or no meat), organic produce and sustainable living.

Support products, farming methods, and forms of living that nourish life, rather than destroy and abuse it. This might require you to change your habits or spend a few extra dollars, but at the end of the day you are truly helping to change the planet.

4. Buy recycled clothing, catch public transport and reduce your consumption of material goods.

The more you buy, consume, and throw away, the more you contribute to the pollution of this planet. Do you really need constant technological upgrades, or new furnishings every 6 months? And what about clothing? Do you constantly need to refresh your look (and contribute to child labor in sweat shops)? Try buying at the local thrift store instead, and help charity in the process.

5. Be a couch-activist.

Using social media and the internet to enact change is a simple and accessible way of making a difference. Whenever there is a petition to sign, post to like, article to share about an important issue, get involved! Here is a good website to start. You could even volunteer to moderate a forum or facebook group that is dedicated to a meaningful topic you are interested in, e.g. animal rights, domestic abuse, yoga, etc. On the other hand, you could take the traditional route and join an organization such as the RSPCA/ASPCA, Greenpeace, WWF, HRC, IFAT, etc.

6. Do shadow work.

Ignorance and pain is spread from one generation to another due to unresolved core wounds. When we fail to come to terms with our darkness, with our cuts, with our own repressed thoughts, feelings and dreams, we become neurotic, angry, emotionally unstable, unfulfilled people. And we pass this on to our children. And our children pass their wounds onto their children. And so on and so forth. The only way we can break our world’s cycle of unconscious suffering and self-loathing is through the process of shadow work; through consciously exploring our pain, and releasing ourselves from the grip of our shadows.

From Stress to Joy

Practicing the Sense of “Enough”

By Judy Zehr

Guest writer for Wake Up World

What drives our anxious mind? One of the keys can be found in our “default circuits” or the neural circuits — the thoughts and feelings — that incessantly run as the semi-conscious backgrounds of our inner lives.

These default circuits are “wired” into our inner lives by repetition and experience and resemble a mental virus we pick up from our culture or family. Our default circuits are like the little man behind the curtain running the great and powerful Oz. They might run the show, but they are fueled by implicit memories: unconscious or barely conscious fears, lusts, hostilities, passions, cravings, repulsions and the like.

In myth and fairy tales, our default circuits show up as the bad guys, the evil ones, the spirits and energies that will seduce or bully us off track, deep into the woods, and then abandon us or eat us alive.

Default circuits can keep us in a mysterious trance, and one of the key trances we all share is the one of “not enough”.

Do any of the following sound familiar?

I am not enough…

He she or it is not enough…

Life is not enough…

I don’t have enough…

I need more, better, (fill in the blank)…

This unconscious or semi-conscious inner phenomenon can keep us locked in stress and anxiety — over spending, over eating, never feeling quite satisfied, balanced or happy.

The brain is reward driven, dopamine is the driver, and this seeking, seeking, seeking behavior for more, more, more whether that be money, food, clothes, information from websites, relationships, etc. can show up in many ways.

It can show up in vague disgruntlements with our spouse and kids or a general dissatisfaction with our house or apartment or yard. It can show up as a low level stream of envy or negative comparisons with others, or as an unquenchable need to fix, improve and control the people and things around us.

This seeking and “not enough” is built into the human condition.

The truth? Of course we are enough. And usually we have enough too. Enough support, resources, and ability to solve whatever the problem or difficulty is that we face.

In brain-retraining we work on helping people move from that feeling of “not enough” to a sense of plenty. At one point we explored the suggestions of some of the coaching experts we’ve studied who suggest focusing on “abundance”. But interestingly, we found over time that turning your thoughts and energies toward abundance had the potential to keep you on the wheel of trying too hard and being dissatisfied.

We came to realize that abundance can actually be a stressor in the human brain — too many choices and too much “stuff”. The over-indulgent patterns we can fall into are just as stressful as “not enough”.

So it’s the simple sense or feeling of “enough” that we move toward (or “plenty”, or you can substitute any word that works for you).

The idea is simple. You can practice right here as you read this. Just feel your feet on the ground. See if you can feel the texture of your socks, or shoes, or the carpet or floor beneath your feet. Notice how the floor completely supports your feet.

Feel the breath in your body. Feel the rise and fall of your belly with your breath, the coolness or warmth of the air as it enters your nostrils.

Notice how in this moment, you have enough air, or plenty of air, you have enough support, in fact plenty of support from the ground itself.

You can ask yourself, what is holding me now? Perhaps you notice the sounds of the birds around you, or the stillness of the room. Perhaps you notice the color of the sun landing on the leaves outside your window.

Keep your attention on the breath in your body. Ask, again, what is holding me now? Notice that in the holding there is enough, there is plenty.

When you bring your attention back to the senses, to the felt experience of the present moment, you are disconnecting from the default neural circuits that will fuel your energy toward “not enough” and help down shift you to “plenty” or “yes, simply enough”.

When you begin to notice that you are held, that the nourishment of the air is all around you, the life force streaming in and out of your own body, the present beauty of life entering into your senses in this moment, nature itself, when you become aware of all of this in the present moment, you return to “enough”.

Our true happiness and well-being lie in this experience of holding, plenty and enough. Any gratitude practices you embark upon will grow from this experience, and your relationships and general sense of calm and love will also be served each time you return to the feeling of plenty or simply enough.

Off the wheel of seeking, accumulating and trying, off the pattern of frenzy and fear, there lies a very pleasant experience of simple love and joy, resting in the field of plenty, the field of “enough”.

Transitional Love

When we speak of love in the transitional sense, we are not speaking of the romantic love that appears in novels and on TV,

We are speaking of unconditional love.

When I first came across this Buddhist concept, I, a heterosexual man, could not conceive how I could ever love a man as much as a woman, but I had completely the wrong idea.

Unconditional love is brought about by being in love with "All There Is", or the biggest thing we can conceive of.

Once that occurs, then we know that everything we experience is a part of all there is, which we love. So we are more able to overcome the normal ups and downs of the lower dimensional living of those who have not yet transited.

More people every day are getting the idea that "Love they neighbour" really is a great idea. It does work, and it produces a far superior form of living to one controlled by hierarchical man-made arrangements, such as governments.

If governments were able to display unconditional love, the world's problems would end immediately. But a government is too insentient to muster love, and is therefore now outdated, because it cannot take part in the transition to the era of Love.

Look out for our next article on transition, "Are you slowing your child's transition?"

I recently met a long-lost spiritual friend, and her first words to me were"Isn't it peculiar being in this world, but not of this world." She had transitioned years ago, and found the world as depicted in the TV/Newspaper world a mystery that she visited once in a while.
