The last weeks have been intense so even if bits and pieces of the bigger picture are missing, the overall view is starting to come into focus. If this were to take place on a very wide global scale, realities on Earth would shift quickly. The trick, of course, is to find one’s own niche so I am going to take the opportunity today to explain the energy behind the choice of the name Institute for Invisible Epidemics.
Without getting tangled up in what our current reality is and why, let me explain where my focus is and why. However, first I want to say that at almost 82 years of age, I have had the luxury in this incarnation of having had time to study far more than is normal for academia. Being intensely curious by nature, I have studied medical history and often referred to fashions in medicine, changes in views and understanding, and attempts to force one’s professional opinions on others. Obviously, I favor freedom over coercion and wisdom over profit. Zooming out as far as I can, I believe the 20th century will one day be viewed as an era of ignorance, but I will not elaborate upon this now. I will merely suggest that since the advent of the germ theory of disease, there has been a tendency to put the emphasis on the diagnosis . . . which, in turn, dictates the protocols to follow. In other essays, going back perhaps 30 or more years, I have argued that the main benefit of this view has been to reduce the stigma of sin by putting the emphasis on indiscriminate vectors and pathogens that randomly affect some people but not perhaps everyone. They probably do affect everyone but in different ways so the symptoms will not always be the same even if the causes are similar.
More succinctly, by focusing on naming the disease, the power of the protocols is supposed to rise to the challenge of eliminating the disease . . . so we have wars on microbes but seldom on commercially profitable and other various challenges to our existence . . . and perhaps even to the survival of the natural world as we know it.
Some of the “invisible epidemics” are masqueraded as beneficial. Fluoridation is an excellent example of this. It is highly toxic and dulling to cognition, but ubiquitous. Radiation is another example. There is no safe level of exposure, but it has been used “therapeutically” for over a century. It is sometimes inserted into the body and even more often used for diagnostic or alleged treatment purposes. It is also pervasive due to nuclear testing and unsafe reactors used to provide expensive energy to drive the industrial revolution to the brink.
On top of nuclear radiation, we also have electromagnetic radiation. It is pervasive and reckless. I don’t have a cell phone or router, but that does not mean that I am not exposed because EMF pollution is widespread and correlates to epidemics of conditions that are studied and treated without connecting dots to the underlying causes.
For the most part, “invisible” — in the context of the name for the Institute — refers to conditions that are overlooked by most of mainstream medicine. Lyme disease is an example of a very serious condition that is rarely diagnosed. Even when it is correctly brought onto the radar, the treatments are usually superficial and ineffective.
When I was very young, I had a mystical experience of hearing a voice telling me that compassion is more important than justice. The issue at the time was fairness as my parents were much harder on me than on my sister. The reality was probably that equal treatment was not in the cards so I needed to work on compassion and put aside justice. Interestingly, my sister became a lawyer so one can conclude whatever one wants from this little factoid.
In short, whether Lyme disease is caused by a bioweapon and/or negligence is not part of my Dharma to decide, but healing people who are suffering is part of my Path in life. To this end, I have had time to study . . . and study . . . and study. I have also had a clinic and consulted in other clinics and had the unique opportunity to observe the effect of herbs, music, and meditation on the plasma and blood cells.
When creating the pdf for the Institute, I had to comb the Internet for images and immediately fell in love with an image of a garden in Japan. I knew nothing about the place at the time, but little by a little, the tapestry I have been weaving for countless incarnations had a few more stiches and some memories came into focus. The place is Oyaku-en Garden in Fukushima Prefecture Japan. The words mean “medicinal herb garden” and the history goes back at least 600 years and includes tremendous emphasis on containment of smallpox, another subject I have studied in depth because what we learned in school is out of context of the historic realities. I posted two Substack essays on this in February last year. This is the link for the second of the posts.
Past Lives
For those of you who enjoy connecting dots as much I do, let me say that when we have a strong feeling about something, it often arises from memories carried over from other incarnations. I majored in Asian Studies and learned to speak Japanese. I think I have made ten trips to Japan, the first in 1962 right after graduation. I spent almost nine months traveling around Japan which remains one of my favorite places on this little Planet. I did not, however, go to Fukushima. I did go to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki and saw the devastation. More importantly, I felt the Japanese people were fully committed to peace. We must be very careful of our motivations because revenge very rarely restores either honor or justice whereas commitment to a path of integrity does.
The Seminar
I cannot imagine how many phone calls, emails, and Zoom sessions Kitzia has had, but finding a venue for our original dates was simply not in the cards so we are now working it from the opposite direction. We will choose the most suitable venue and arrange our dates to the availability of rooms, probably early 2025. Stay tuned!
