Your Important Advice

Look - you can say this too:


"I can do anything, and whatever I can't do, I can learn".


Don't you think it is true?

Presence

The past is gone, the future is yet to come, and all around us is the present. So they say. But who can say that they see what is here and now and live truly in this moment?

We don't have any other moment to live in...only this moment. Not that moment then; it's gone. This one...now!

As soon as I said it it had gone. So in a way you have to be living very slightly in the future: just enough that the moment doesn't slip past without you.

But what are you seeing?

Always something else - I wish things were different, if only this were bigger/smaller/thinner/fatter/yellower/faster/slower/hotter/colder, maybe this time next year I'll be..., at school they said I was the best/worst/good/bad/would go far/would never amount to much, I wonder what...

You have the capacity to think of far off things, places, and people. And also the ability to see the present. Can you see it?

Are you looking for something different? This is what you've got now. It's yours, for you, by you, for you to live in. You can change it if you don't like it, but don't miss it because that's your life at this moment.

You could spend your whole life wishing to be just a few centimetres less tall, but at the end of it...what did you live?

It's HERE and NOW. The present. Like a Christmas present. It's the present, a present, for you, to make something with.

All About Health

I was giving my unwanted advice to a young mother (congratulations! - on the birth, not the advice!)

Then I decided that I would impose my views on the whole world!

They seem useful to me. They will conflict with some things you have been taught. They conflicted with what I believed, but I tried my hardest to understand things and this is the result so far.

Names have not been used - to protect the innocent!

Hello!

OK these are good books:

Colin Griffith:

Practical Handbook of Homoeopathy

(good for sort of home emergencies and typical diseases and situations)

Companion to Homoeopathy

(a massive book that explains Homoeopathy. It's really worth reading)

Thomas Quackenbush

Relearning to See

(massive book about eyesight)

I think they are so useful that even if you never read them it's worth having them!

All the information took me about 5 years to get to the point of believing it - I was very used to what i had been told by my society. As it turns out, what they told me wasn't always quite right!

"Everything Explained"

Philip helpfully explains everything - here only available!

1. Homoeopathy teaches that... Symptoms are the language your body speaks to tell us what is wrong with it and how to restore its vitality. Strong symptoms that last a short time are a sign of strong vitality, weak symptoms that drag on are the sign of compromised health. Health problems are partly caused by dissonance between our actual life and our ideal life, i.e. to do with how happy we are and how this affects our resistance. However they are also caused by hereditary factors such as the impact of major disease at some time in the family's distant past. It's possible to sort most things out using this information.

2. It appears that... Blurry vision comes on as the result of some type of stress but because it happens so much eye doctors think it is somehow normal. However they are unlikely to be able to show evidence of any deterioration in e.g. the lens of the eye, and are unable to explain how eyesight can improve. There is a belief that it is caused by chronic tension in the muscles of the eye - that's all. Good vision habits such as only focusing on one tiny area at once (the eye can only focus like that, look up "fovea"), moving the head and body freely as you wish (with a tiny area to focus on you have to move your eyes to see many things clearly), not staring (which is trying to see out of the sides of the eyes and generally not moving the head), breathing naturally. It takes a while to learn but not really long. Children copy the viewing habits of the parents (of course, as they copy everything so they can learn what to do!) so it's worth everybody learning healthy vision. And the very important thing: practise with the eye chart at home - it's not cheating, it's good to get used to it because when they come to the school and test them it's not exactly a fun situation and stress can result and OH WHAT'S THIS - they are children and can't read very well yet so how do they expect them to be able to tell what the letters are??? Oh dear this tiny child can't read it perfectly, he has bad eyesight.

Why do we see those tiny children with thick, thick glasses, tied on to their heads so they won't get damaged while the child is trying to have fun (while it still can)? Anything to do with the above?

As William Bates said (the sort of progenitor of this thinking - called the 'Bates Method' quite often), the sight of such little children is "enough to make the angels weep".

Hey, yeah, what about ADHD? Can it be that they are all ADHD or are some of them just naturally active and us sickos think there is something wrong with them because they can't watch six back-to-back episodes of The Dragons' Den without trying to move occasionally? Never mind, give them some drugs, that will stop their activity. OH IT WORKS, we must have been right!

You know the Special Olympics? The publicity says they were created in commemoration of the sister of JFK, Rosemary Kennedy, "who had an intellectual disability" but the extremely sad truth, not featured in the marketing, is that her disability was caused by a lobotomy performed at the age of 23, designed to correct her increasingly willful and independent behaviour. Thanks Dad.

We all know that mercury treatment of patients hundreds of years ago caused their early demise. But it was medicine then. Liszt was on his deathbed and the attending physician decided to inject camphor directly into his heart, which certainly ensured it was indeed his deathbed.

I can go on like this probably for ever.

As Samuel Hahnemann said, many vicious therapies were developed in the hope of terminating the offending symptoms, and they as surely succeeded in that as they also succeeded in terminating all signs of life.

Well...there are a lot of things going on in the health world, not all of them good. If medicine was wrong in the past, who is to say it is completely right now? But if it's written down, we believe it.

My advice is believe yourself. You know if you're well or if your child is well. Are we moving toward vitality and happiness, or away from it? Then you know the direction our health is moving in too.

Terminal illness won't set in for many years, if it ever does, but let's avoid it eh? And let's try to get a few more years of fun in. Does it sound like a good idea? OK all you have to do now is believe it...
