JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES & HEALING DIABETES, by EDGAR CAYCE

Jerusalem artichoke is a vegetable which resembles a small potato.  It is available from some health food stores.

 

Jerusalem artichoke is a primary therapy in the Cayce approach to diabetes.  The readings state that the Jerusalem artichoke can be used to decrease or eliminate the need for medicinal insulin.

 

Therapeutic recommendations for Jerusalem artichoke will vary from person to person depending upon the severity of the condition.  For one individual with a slight tendency toward diabetes, the recommendation was to eat two Jerusalem artichokes per month.  For more severe cases, one per day prescribed.  For persons diagnosed with diabetes, starting out at three per week is reasonable.  After monitoring blood/sugar levels, the amount of artichoke's can be adjusted as needed.

 

Here are some suggestions for to using Jerusalem artichoke:

• Before eating the artichokes, have at least two or three spinal manipulations to stimulate the nerve supply to the pancreas and liver.  Ask the physician or therapist to pay particular attention to the 5th - 9th thoracic vertebrae.

• Begin by eating three artichokes about the size of a hen's egg each week.

• In preparing the artichoke, alternate between eating one raw and the next one cooked in its own juices (steamed in Patapar parchment paper).  Eaten raw, the artichoke can be included in a salad or such.  When cooked, be sure to drink the water in which the artichoke was cooked.

• Do not overcook or undercook.  Do not peel, - only wash thoroughly with a brush, then cook it in Patapar Paper - as if cooking an Irish potato.  Season with a little salt, and at times a very small quantity of butter.

• If possible, store the artichokes in the ground.  Otherwise, you may be able to keep them in the refrigerator in a jar of peat moss or potting soil.  The readings state that just leaving them in the refrigerator deprives them potency.

• Various readings advised against eating pickled artichokes or artichokes prepared with vinegar, and products made with artichoke flour.

WHO IS EDGAR CAYCE?

Edgar Cayce (pronounced Kay-Cee, 1877-1945) has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic "readings" to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing lives lived in the past and prophecies yet to come.

 

Nearly seventy percent of the more than 14,000 psychic readings Cayce gave are concerned with the diagnosing of disease and the outlining of treatment. These readings are still being studied in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Many people who came to Cayce in the early part of the twentieth century came to him as a last resort: most had been diagnosed as "incurable", not only by private physicians, but by renowned medical institutions around the U.S. While Cayce himself had no medical training or education, when he entered a self-induced altered state, his unconscious mind seemed to tap an endless reservoir of helpful physical information. He could accurately diagnose illness and prescribe treatment for people he had never met or seen.

 

Further details of Cayce's life and work are explored in the classic book, There Is a River (1942), by Thomas Sugrue, available in hardback, paperback, or audio book versions, or visit www.edgarcayce.org

 

 

 

 

RECOGNIZING THE HATER IN YOU

If you post photos or messages that promote hatred then you are a hater.  If you share photos of abused women, dogs, or other living beings then you are promoting hate.  The definition of hate, per The American Heritage Dictionary reads as, “To feel animosity or hostility towards. To detest.  To feel dislike or distaste for.”  The word hateful is defined as, “Arousing hatred; detestable.  Feeling or showing hatred; malevolent.”

 

So if you consider yourself a good Christian, Muslim, or any other God like individual, you shouldn’t be posting or verbally promoting ideas that stir hatred in the hearts of others.  Teachers such as Jesus, Buddha and Muhammad were all about the love.  Love is the opposite of hate.  Love defined is an expression of one’s affection.  Excuse me for taking the simple minded approach to this subject, but there seems to be a major lack of love these days.

Take for instance the U.S. Presidential Election. I see more Facebook post that slam candidates than those that simply state their choice of which nominee they support.   You know, it is possible to promote your favorite Presidential Candidate without hating on another, right? 

When we degrade another person, we disrespect ourselves.  All we end up doing is dividing ourselves from the whole; we stand outside the circle.  I don’t know about you, but I feel much better focusing on what it is that I love about someone, instead of focusing on what I dislike or hate about them.    There’s good and evil in all of us.  As the Native American story goes, there are two wolves battling each other inside of us all. One wolf is angry, envious, jealous, guilty, greedy, regretful, sorrowful, self-pity; the other wolf is joy, peace, love, hope, truth, compassion, faith.   The wolf or the side that wins is the side that you feed.  Do you feed the love within you, or do you feed the hate within you?

Personally, I like being loved. Not saying that I would bend or break for attention, but to be loved regardless of our differences.  I don’t really like it when people hate me, because it kind of deters me from wanting to live.  So imagine how your negative opinion of someone can offend another.  When you belittle a candidate, not only are you hating on that nominee, you hate on a favored representative of someone else.  And yes, they tend to take your opinion personally, because it fosters anger and hatred.  Don’t understand yet?  Then tell me how you feel when someone slams a candidate that you like?

People are people.  We all want the same basic human rights.  Treat others as you would want to be treated.  And here’s another – don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say anything at all.  Stop and think before allowing that thought to flow from head to hand, or from head to mouth.  If not to make the world a better place to live, then to make life a little easier for yourself.

 

The Law of Attraction is a concept of science, as well as new age thought.  As defined by Wikipedia, “a phrase used to describe the perceived nature of bodies that have a tendency to attract or repel each other.”

In other words, if show love, you attract love.  Talk hate, repel love.   So do yourself a favor that will benefit the rest of the world too, and recognize the hater within you.  Acknowledge it, change it, live it.  And may peace be with you.   

 

HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Principal Therapy – blood purification.

Use a low protein, low fat, non-processed diet.  Fat is the worst enemy of the liver.  All heated fats should be avoided- no fried foods.  Avoid beer which supplies the body with carbohydrates which in turn produce fatty deposits. 

 

Use sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and flaxseeds.  Suggested foods are bee pollen, green leafy vegetables, apples, all citrus fruits and juices, garlic, onions, pears, peaches, watermelon and its juice, sprouts, lemons, cabbage (red and green), spinach, dates and leeks.

 

Use the cleansing diet in this book for ten days and clean the bowels with an enema for five consecutive days.  Exercise daily to increase circulation.  Take one tablespoon of liquid chlorophyll in apple juice four times daily.

 

Short two day fasts every eight to ten days will remove fatty deposits quickly.  Use citrus juices or carrot, apple and spinach juices for this purpose.  Vegetable broths made from leeks, garlic and onions will purify the blood.  Remain on a vegetarian diet.

 

A.      Internal:  Take six hawthorn berry capsules and six chaparral capsules daily, alternating three every four hours.  The circulation is most important when the cholesterol is high.  Warm and cool alternating showers every morning followed with a brisk walk or jogging, is excellent.  Don’t evereat.  Prickly ash tea will improve our circulation (see also stimulants).  Siberian ginseng is used to reduce cholesterol.  Take two capsules three times a day between meals and first thing in the morning.  If they cause nervousness, reduce dosage.  Ginseng is not to be taken if there is inflammation, or fevers anywhere present in the body.

 

B.      Hydrotherapy:  Take cool, whole baths and warm and cool showers daily.

WORDS vs THOUGHTS

Someone left a comment on a Facebook post, which was in regards to a YouTube video of Nahko Bear’s, Black As Night, where the song says, “I am no master, I know nothing, but I am a servant and I know something.”  The person who left the comment did not like the word servant; he said I am no ones servant.  I commented back that I don’t think that’s what Nahko meant when he wrote this song.  Meaning, I am a servant to all that is living; I am a servant to the Earth; if I see someone in need, I offer my service to assist.

He said, all the same words are powerful and he didn’t like the song, because of that one word.  I gave him a thumb up, because yes it’s true that words are powerful.  But what’s even truer is the thought behind the word. 

Take for instance when I call my dog a turd, I’m not saying she’s a worthless piece of shit.  I’m playing; being playful.  There’s nothing sinister at play here.  There is no negativity associated with the thought.  The dog isn’t offended.  Actually, she’s a real clown.  Very mischievous!  She loves to play.

If I call my wife an asshole, because she’s clowning around, she doesn’t get offended.  Now if I called her asshole out of anger because I didn’t agree with something she did, it would be a different story, she would be angry. 

Recently a friend described me as someone who is into healing.  Healing is like a tree limb branching off from the trunk; it is only one aspect of mastering your own thoughts.   And that is what I’m into.  The human mind is a powerful instrument.  And it has been proven many times over that what you think and feel has a huge affect on your life.  Your health included. 

This past summer I was a student learning how to separate my ego from my spirit.  I’m still learning of course.  Again, recognizing your ego is another branch of the tree to learning to master your thoughts.

Anyway, it seems to be working for me.  I’ve come a long way since I had that surgery back in December that turned my life upside down.  I’m happy again.  I feel I’m vibrating at a higher frequency.  All is good.  I love life!  Still, I know I wouldn’t be as happy today if I didn’t make that conscious effort to control my thoughts.  Life is a lesson, and I am a student, as well as a servant. 

 

NAHKO & MEDICINE FOR THE PEOPLE

"BLACK AS NIGHT"

I ME MINE

This past Labor Day Weekend we had a party.  We live in Florida, did not put our swimming pool up this year due to some medical issues.  So to keep it cool, while we cookout and party outside, I came up with a game.  Everyone was asked to bring their squirt guns and water blasters to the party.   Next we had to come up with an idea to give people a reason to get wet.  So we thought of a word that is used often, and came up with the word, “I.” To make it even more interesting I added the words, “Me, mine and my,” to the list of forbidden words.

We had a blast!  Not only was it fun, but we all learned that these words are used quite often in our society.  Most indigenous societies do not know these words of possession.  They use words like we, us and ours.  They do not think in the singular, but instead their thoughts are in regards of the community as a whole.

So today we challenge you to make it your mission to replace these words of possession (I, me, mine, my), with the words that represent your household as a whole (we, us, ours).  Please feel free to leave comments.

 



OCEAN

Looking at the ocean is like viewing eternity.  It’s where the land meets the water, and the water meets the sky.  The four legged ones, the fish, and the winged ones join together at this intersection.  The ocean is ancient.  It has and always will be.  The air, it’s the same as you breathe – our breath becomes one.  You can feel her power as the waves breathe life into the air.  Cleansing all who stand before her in admiration.  Her song is as memorizing as the world she holds deep in secret, waiting to be shared by all.

 

She can be soft and smooth. I know she feels peace.  Wild and raging her emotions motivate me; moving and directing me like a grain of sand at her feet.  As I stand in the water, she kisses me with the white caps of her waves.  Pure and excepting she wipes away my troubles and comforts me.  Oh how I feel free!  Love pours from my heart and into the sea.  She is special.  She means everything to me.  This is my heaven, made by God for all to be.

 

For those of you who can not be by the ocean today, please enjoy the following inspirational videos:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



FORGIVING BP

Did you know that there is medical evidence that your thoughts play a significant role in your health?

I had Diverticulitis and it caused my bowel to perforate.  On a metaphysical level it is suggested that diverticulitis is a condition caused by "blaming others for failing to prevent unpleasant experiences from happening and refusing to forgive them."

At first I was scratching my head thinking who am I not forgiving?  I know the importance of forgiveness, and how it can affect ones health.  But I never considered a corporation as an entity that I needed to forgive.  A friend, who is a healer, suggested to me that it could possibly be the BP oil spill.  Like she said, they took something away from me, and I was forced to deal with it. 

I live in Pensacola, Florida, and I had not swum in the Gulf of Mexico since Memorial Day Weekend in 2010, due to the Deepwater Horizon Disaster.  Following that holiday weekend is when the tar balls began to wash ashore.  And it affected me deeply.  I was so sad and depressed, as well as the rest of the community.  I fought tooth and nail to get others to realize what BP was trying to hide with their false advertising and total disregard for the environment.  In addition there were other stresses associated with the movement, like the clash of egos among community leaders. 

In the fall of 2013, I felt it was time to let go, yet I found myself getting wrapped up in the BP drama from time to time still.  A year later and I was feeling the symptoms of diverticulitis.  By December 2014, I was in the hospital. 

I was released from the hospital in January 2015.  Right after the 5 Year Anniversary of the BP Oil Spill (April 20^th), I found myself in the hospital a second time.  Again I had allowed myself to get caught up in the BP drama, by being asked to get involved with events aimed to honor the anniversary.  Believe it or not, I was actually diagnosed with diverticulitis a second time (very unusual).

Just recently, a friend turned me onto this book called, “The Power of Now,” by Eckhart Tolle (A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment).  Over five million copies sold.  It’s all about enlightenment and keeping track of your thoughts; the conscious mind verses the ego.  By being a witness to your thoughts, instead of allowing your mind to just wonder while being unaware of what you are truly thinking about, is a step towards living in the now; letting go of the past, don’t dwell on future events that have not happened yet. 

 

Now here are a few quotes I want to share from the book:

Ø      “If you believe on a deep level, in separation and the struggle for survival, then you see that belief reflected all around you and your perceptions are governed by fear.  You inhabit a world of death and of bodies fighting, killing, and devouring each other.”

Ø      “If you feel called upon to alleviate suffering in the world, that is a very noble thing to do, but remember not to focus exclusively on the outer (world), otherwise, you will encounter frustration and despair.”

Ø      “This also applies if you are supporting a movement designed to stop deeply unconscious humans from destroying themselves, each other, and the planet, or from continuing to inflict dreadful suffering on other sentient beings.”  Otherwise you will create an enemy and be drawn into unconsciousness yourself.

Ø      “Only those who have transcended the world can bring about a better world.”

Ø      “Peace is your is your most precious gift to the world.”

 

Most of this I already knew to be true.  And I pretty much conveyed this message in my book, “The Crude Oil Adventure of the Human Re-Evolution.”  I’ve been a student of metaphysics for several years now, and most of what I have learned, I have put into practice. 

 

After four years of meditating and praying over for the ocean water in the Gulf of Mexico, I can say the small fish have returned to the shoreline, and several turtles have returned as well; ghost crabs everywhere. So, I finally took a dip into the water that I once considered toxic.  I’ve played in the waves, and I let go of my fear and felt the freedom and power of the ocean once again.  It was certainly a forgiving experience.

We all have a choice.  It’s all about perspective.  Anger, anxiety, hate, jealousy, these are all negative emotions.  Love, gratitude, compassion, these are positive emotions.  When I view the BP Oil Spill now, I am grateful for the experience.  It helped me to evolve spiritually.  It is taking a negative event and viewing it in a positive light.

No more anger – just forgiveness, followed by peace.  Peace Out!
