Is Man's Next Step Like A Can Of Potted Meat?Written by Dr. Rita Louise
Is it dawning of Age of Aquarius? For years, predictions have indicated that humanity is readying itself for a golden age, a so called new age that is right around corner just waiting to roll in. According to these forecasts, air we breath will be clean and our environment pure. Hunger, starvation and disease will be eliminated. Most importantly, we will finally experience peace and harmony we all desire and we will live in spirit of brotherly love. I too long for these events to take place, however, reality that currently exists on our planet is very different and choices we are making are sending us down a road that does not lead to salvation. When I think about where we are going and how we are getting there, it can be likened to a can of potted meat. For those of you that are unfamiliar with potted meat, it is a canned meat product that is found next to Spam and Vienna sausages at supermarket. Its primary ingredients include cooked beef fatty tissue, beef hearts, beef tripe, cooked pork fatty tissue and mechanically separated chicken. These tasty morsels are ground up into a paste-like consistency, mixed with lots of salt and chemicals, canned and sold for human consumption. I’m sure by now your mouth is watering and you just can’t wait to sink your teeth into a forkful of this tempting delicacy. And while I make this comment in jest, reality is that three major food manufacturers fight for shelf space at supermarket each hoping to capture potted meat market. The saddest or should I say scariest part of saga is fact that people buy it! It isn’t as if only one or two people get urge to munch down on some good ol’ potted meat, there are thousands if not millions of people around country why buy it, creating enough value, based on sales, to keep it on shelf. By now I know you’re wondering what potted meat has to do with our next step, but it has everything to do with it. Take a moment and look around. Every day, our air grows increasingly worse. Obesity in children is running rampant. The amount and quality of real, wholesome foods on shelves at supermarkets are being overrun by prepackaged preprocessed chemically laden ones. We fear for our safety, distrust our neighbors and hide in our hearts and in our homes. And like potted meat, even though we don’t really like it and know it isn’t good for us, we buy it anyway.
| | Feel the FeelingsWritten by Robina Hearle
It has been said "You are afraid to feel. Your feelings are vast and all powerful, yet for many of you they are crosses of shame. However, it is through your feelings that you can ascertain what you value" [Marciniak] We discern our world through our feelings. They are an unsourced tool for discovering more about ourselves and world about us. Yet, as quote so rightly says, we are afraid, nay terrified, of feeling. We block our feelings and hide from them, and as a result we overload our cellular memory with our emotional baggage. Our bodies are perfect records, holding every nuance of our lives. They hold all our memories of things we have done to others and how we felt about it at time, judgements we have made since. Besides all this, there is what others have done to us and our emotions surrounding these things. We also hold shocking or traumatic memories from our lives which can appear to come 'out of blue.' There are no accidents or coincidences, universe works and everything is a part of rich tapestry, even though we may be unaware and cannot see it at time. To illustrate this, I recently had an opportunity to clear a very painful memory from my birth canal. I have shoulder pain and so I went to see my colleague who specialises in "un-winding" tissues. She found that primary site was not my shoulder, but my birth canal. As she said words, memory of birth of my eldest daughter eighteen years ago surfaced, along with all of my feelings about it at time. As I began to cry, my colleague felt a sudden 'whoosh' as birth canal released tension and 'unwound', I was at that moment of release, able to feel feelings, acknowledge them and let them go. Just imagine, for eighteen years this memory had been sitting in my tissues. Emotional energy such as this can cause vibrational damage to cells and eventually pathology. One of feelings that came up for me, was shock. As I am like a terrier when I know I have something to clear, (I ' worry 'at it until I achieve my intention) I took some Bach' Star of Bethlehem' flower essence which is for shock held in cellular memory.
