Mind-Body-Spirit = One = Consciousness
I am so glad to meet you Eimhin!
The last time I met with Alberto, I showed him a drawing of the 3 human bodies, and what happens when these bodies get alligned. I cannot say what Alberto was thinking… He probably was not expecting to see this on my iPhone! But he does have an open mind, and observes what goes on around him with a keen eye.
Wow, I am impressed by your vision of medecine, I agree with you, focusing on an organ, isolating one part of the body, is indeed ‘a futile exercise’. I wish that governments would understand this. We could dramatically cut on health spending! And people would be more happy (ie less use of anti-depressants). Actually, I know that there are officials from the pandemic preparedness sphere that are beginning to see the applications of consciousness in the public health area.
You talk about the “flaws of the western health system, truths about time and perception, the many aspects of our being and how they interrelate and interweave”.
I am also deeply interested in these things.
I know that there is a power within us, that allows to self-heal. This power can be developed through bliss, or extasy, joy and love. By reaching this state, all cells of the body heal. As you said, everything is interrelated and interweaved. (This video changed my life and helped me to understand the role of the ‘happy hormones’: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfBWtovxYQY)
When I started participating at Edgeryders, I was drifting. I had a (vague) idea about the nature of the Universe. I met other participants, and they helped me think and refine my thoughts and vision. I developed a great friendship with a philosopher (Michel Filippi) and it is a fullfilling fantastic experience. Last Fall, I felt isolated, I was looking for other people like me. Thanks to the Edgeders project, I recently discovered a community that fits my needs (the Institute of Consciousness Research). Recently, I met people in Los Angeles, and I am in the process of helping this group build communities and look at ways to develop worldwide collaboration. All this happened via my participation with Edgeryders.
So, I encourage you to keep following your intuition. It always tels us the right thing to do (although sometimes we think it might be inappropriate and crazy). Keep listening! Also, using social media to connect to others that share similar interests, being active members of online communities, will keep you growing and learning.
Please keep me informed about what you are doing and the discoveries you make. Let us connect on Twitter (@Lyne_Robichaud).
Have a look at this mission report from Michel Filippi, and let us know what you think. ‘Des hommes et de notre civilisation’ http://edgeryders.ppa.coe.int/shine-some-light/mission_case/des-hommes-et-de-notre-civilisation
