For the first time I am sharing a pretty complete overview of my understanding of my lifelong health challenge(s) as it relates to what we now know of as autoimmune dis-ease.

I hope that can help you go deep into understanding what you feel fatigued, have unexplained headaches or body aches that my have a causal link in common with some of what I describe so that you can research and connect with whoever can then help you heal, as you most deserve to.

Thanks for listening and for your support.

As with all life forms, we feel. We know we are alive through feeling.

As highly developed self-conscious beings we also think, and can derive feeling from thinking, often directed by ego which has co-opted our feelings to validate it's existence.

Use these words as a guide to contemplate your very being, the 'what' you are that is entangled with who you know you are, so that you can relax into feeling authentic and authentically. For a more consistently fulfilling human experience.

Describing the undescribable, from my experience as well as relating thoughts about Eckhart Tolle and SIddhartha Gautama.

The process is similar because it has to be, for we are all human with the same condition and resistance to feeling at peace within one's self and with life.

I hope this helps with your inner reflections and practices to let go of who and what you are not, in your mind, that you too can know this eternal peace.

More overview and examples of the one-ness of life, the material separation of things in space and how we can achieve the feeling of one-ness that connects it all.

From the completeness of the universe to the one-ness of life in form and the disconnect within the human species due to ego self-consciousness.

The deepest dive, clearest detail on how it all connects, evolved to be as it is. Still one, and yet with many individuated experiences and perspectives of being.

The wars that ego wages as it keeps busy, as opposed to the struggle of life that is valid and worthy.

A look at the individual ego and subconscious ego and how it relates to the collective, which wages war for the most part over words, ideas, identities than primary directives of life.

An overview of the system that you are, and that we as a species projects into the systems and structures of society.

The self-conscious mind and associated ego have been leading the way for millennia with much success AND collateral damage.

If we learn what we are there will be a paradigm shift within the individual and the collective projection into society, the systems will take care of themselves when imbued with healthy individuals who express their authenticity of energy in body, with mind.

Human language has a lot of shortcoming, disconnections from the feelings and intentions behind them.

Here is a short talk about it.

As opposed to meditation, I am more supportive of contemplating the moment in a very direct way, snapping to a meditative reality by watching thought and then letting go.

A simple practice, which when engaged in conscious attention can lead to breaking past thought patterns that lead to anxiety, stress and existential angst.

How does our mind, and our feeling being, observe and react to the current health situation in society?

Covid is a very real thing and yet is it as real and pervasive as the mind makes it out to be, the ego specifically?

Reading a short excerpt from his book 'Being Peace', then discussing how he conveyed SIddhartha's teachings.

Living beyond the math of the mind that tries to explain life in a finite way.

The rational mind is just that, for good reason, to deal with the materials world. But life is not just material, it is energy at it's foundation, which is why not being able to know and explain this may be the most important thing you do in order to really KNOW who you are.

Story time . . . about the experience I had in the fall/winter of 2016/2017 meeting Nantar Nua, and Ecuadorian Medicine Woman who I had an amazing connection and experience with, including my only 2 psychedelic trips in this lifetime.

Part 2 on Authority.

Some further thoughts and an overview of authority, as it truly exists in nature and as it has been created within the human mind.

Know thy self is a great start, but it needs to be the whole self including ego and not from ego in order for the feeling of peace to be consistently felt.

There is always authority in life, but how we feel about ourselves and how we are succeeding as a species is reflective of which level we are living through.

I break down levels of authority and how they contribute to the feeling of being a human life, as connected to self and life around.

The other ET may have wanted to 'phone home', and in a way this is what i did learn from Eckhart Tolle - to phone into my home base, the consciousness of my being.

I relate my experiences of reading The Power of Now, doing certain practices and eventually letting go of thought.

Certainly a prime examplar along the way, I hold the words Eckhart uses in high regard with respect to being able to relate this simple universal truth to us.

Connecting what we are capable of thinking and feeling about the world around us, as differentiated from society and the self.

We are not the world, but we are ourselves and we have a responsibility to life around us to be our best, most aware authentic self.

Healthy systems are borne out of Healthy components. And it feels good to be healthy component, irregardless of the bigger picture.

Talking about a man who passed on this day in 2020, leaving with us a legacy of life experiences shared, music and words transmitted and life lessons we can relate to.

I share my thoughts on what he meant to me and to many of us, how deeply his life experiences were reflected in his life and the honesty of it all. I know he tried his best, and succeeded on many levels.

Thanks Neil, for being a lovely exemplar of a human . . . being.
