ke'iko - 22 Jan 2005 00:34 GMT >From Creating Miracles by Carolyn Miller The short story of Lou's bout with AIDS (p. 224) Lou was a graduate psychology student of Carolyn Miller She performed an energy healing on Lou Then again at the time he was suffering from Kaposi sarcoma Miller and her meditation group did an energy healing She focused on Lou - since he was on her. . . About a week or so later Carolyn received a phone call from Lou He asked her if she did a healing on him on that particular day because he felt her healing energy that he recognized from his earlier healing with her. He explained to her that the next morning when he woke up, all of his spots were gone. He went into remission Unfortunately he died of AIDS about a year later.
As the result of my research into alternative spiritual heals, in particular from the Course, the idea that behavior change without the source of love is not lasting is demonstrated in Lou's case. In other words, if Lou had taken up the study of changing his mind, his attitude, or his reality, I suspect that his healing would have been complete. The lesson to be learned is that if your healing was the result of an energy healing, then you need to follow-up with a study of spiritualizing your mind.
I recommend the following:
1. Christian Science healing, namely, the practice to deny body-identification, e.g., sickness, sin, and death are not real, and affirm spirit-identification, e.g., I am the image and likeness of God, I am the image of love.
2. Serge King's Huna, Mastering Your Hidden Self. King's method is the scientific method of integrating your conscious/awareness, subconsciousmemory, and superconscious/intuition. He teaches you how to create your own reality, which is nothing more than the practice of Christian Science self-healing. Or its about the methodology of accentuaring the positive, eliminating the negatives, and don't mess around with Mr. In-between. It'll help you to get up every morning in a positive frame of mind, look at your self in the mirror every day and really like what you see. How simple can life be!
>From Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss Two successful AIDS healing stories Joe & Peter, father & son (p. 23) The short story Joe suspected that something was not right with his son He thought that he wanted to quite law school He contacted Caroline Myss for an intuitive reading of his son With the permission of Peter Caroline did a reading The reading was something she had never experienced She telephoned Peter and learned that it was AIDS Joe called Caroline to ask: What's up? Her confidentiality code prevented her to disclose her findings Joe called back and said, "even if it's AIDS. . ." She said - be prepared for just that He called back again and said, "He and his son would be in her parlor the next day at noon." And they were. Together with Dr. C. Norman Shealy, they designed a therapy for Peter Peter healed and became a practicing attorney.
It's my feeling that the key factor in Peter's healing was the deep love that his father demonstrated towards his son. Reflect on the Course's idea that behavior change is not possible without the source of love.
The other story, from the same book, is the story of Per (p. 276) The short story Unlike Peter Per's healing was an exercise of self-healing, a spirituality of turning inward Among other things he practiced meditation and experienced that inner experience, enlightenment
It seems to me that Per is an excellent example of aspects of the Course's know thyself. I'm saying aspects because his story does not fully disclose the particulars of his healing.
I'm hoping that Miller and Myss' accounts of AIDS will be of some help to you.

A faith healers dream come true.

Sadly, he's dead.
Died of AIDS. Cause he believed the nonsense fools like Paul post.

>You're saying that if he'd used AZT, he'd still be alive? >I thought there was no cure for AIDS? There is no cure for AIDS. And he did try ARV after a couple of bouts of PCP and cryptococcal meningitis. I think he was convinced that he was getting these horrible diseases because his immune system was f.cked up by HIV infection. Not some fantasy. Not some conspiracy. Not a couple of weeks in jail.
But a horrific, killing virus.
I'm saying had he not bought your stupid lies and bullshit, he could have been monitoring his condition. He could have treated more aggressively with a range of things (including botanicals). And yes, damn right, he could have used ARV earlier on, consistently and probably would NOT be dead today.

Fortunately, there was no such notion as "HIV" and I was never tested for it.
Here is an interesting piece on PCP from AIDS.ORG:
http://www.aids.org/factSheets/515-Pneumocystis-Pneumonia-PCP.html
" WHAT IS PCP?
" Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP or pneumocystis) is the most common opportunistic infection in people with HIV. Without treatment, over 85% of people with HIV would eventually develop PCP. It has been the major killer of people with HIV. However, PCP is now almost entirely preventable and treatable. "
Without treatment, 85% of people with HIV get PCP? So that would mean that PCP would be _the_ AIDS defining illness, right? Which would mean that PCP would be the prime killer in the third world. Odd then, that so many "AIDS" deaths are written up as malaria, tuberculosis, and of course with the advent of HAART and nevirapine and azt, as liver failure, kidney failure, etc.
Alex
(PS, also note they recommend Bactrim to treat PCP.)

Perhaps when you were a child, there was no test for HIV. I don't know how old you are. Older than 23?
>Here is an interesting piece on PCP from AIDS.ORG: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >Which would mean that PCP would be the prime killer in >the third world. LOL. Wrong. The 85% refers to people in the west where PCP is more prevalent. Histoplasmosis is a real disease, you'll agree? Why doesn't everyone get it?
>Odd then, that so many "AIDS" deaths are written up as >malaria, tuberculosis, and of course with the advent of HAART >and nevirapine and azt, as liver failure, kidney failure, etc. Malaria kills. TB kills. ARV can kill. Malaria+HIV is an interesting mix---I'm still not clear on it, tho it looks like the two together aren't so great. TB+HIV kills faster. HIV without ARV kills a lot more than HIV+ARV.
>(PS, also note they recommend Bactrim to treat PCP.) They certainly do and for good reason. It works. Are you suggesting they should not treat PCP? Or that you know of something else?

>From Steven Lock & Douglas Colligan's The Healer Within is the story of Dr. Klopfer and his dying cancer patient Mr. Wright (he was expected to die within the next three days but his doctor was successful in getting him into an experimental cancer drug program).
The short story of Mr. Wright's bought with cancer is that he was twice miraculously healed when given the experimental cancer drug in spite of the fact that his second therapy was a placebo. The undoing of Mr. Wright's success is that his belief was absolute in the experimental drug rather than in himself.
What this means is that when he read the results of the program's failure to cure cancer again, he once again became a dying man. The consequence of the second attempt is that his hopes of a cure vanished and he died.
Of David, without knowing the particulars, my guess is that he was confident in his healer, and his practice, but it failed to address the problem of modern man, that is, modern man in need of a healing, a spiritual identity, and a relationship with God, such that modern man is in need of a lifestyle that reflects: "life with nature, life with man, and life with spirituality." The source of Love.
In other words, behavior change - healing - is not lasting without the source of love - probably because when you're in love, all things are possible because your thoughts are all positive/creative. Even the idea of going through fear to love is no problem.
The power of the mind is incredible - I'm sure you'll agree. Ke'iko

>The power of the mind is incredible - I'm sure you'll agree. It absolutely is! And it should be harnessed in the healing process. Your anecdote was interesting but also instructive.
Let's be clear--the power of the mind is NOT about trying to attain immortality. Won't happen. The power of the mind is in learning to accept one's mortality in part.
In that--and in finding love--one CAN mitigate the course of disease. There is no doubt in my mind about that. And through the power of the mind, the heart, the spirit, one can change one's daily routine and outlook in life. Every breath, every moment is indeed sacred even embedded in the quotidian.
Use that to make choices. Every moment. It is about empowering the self to healing, yes. It is about accepting the RIGHT to die as much as to live. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the way some fellow quipped.
How do you want this life to be?
Yes. Taking the meds is a choice. Wearing a condom is a choice. Taking another breath is a choice.
Within the matrix of life is the predatory reality of people, of pathogenic organisms, of the rotting of our aging bodies as we approach our own death.
Did the power of the mind save those kids in the tsunami? Or spare the US another four years of W?
No--there IS an outside world and outside influences.
Shape the life, the heart, the spirit in honor and recognition of those forces and marvel at the simple act of being!
Healing is a part of that dance and process. Using the mind, the heart, the body, the spirit all as one great force and make your choices consciously.

Carter George, the below quote is from The Aquarian Conspiracy by Marilyn Ferguson. Ferguson's research focuses on the evolution of the human mind and I'm thinking that you'll find her book fascinating reading.
>From her time to ours * now they're saying: mind is body, body is mind. How about that! It's being said in Ho'oulu: Our Time of Becoming by Manulani Aluli Meyer on page 124. It's being said in Manu's PhD dissertation.
The thing about our time that it's being said is that Manu is talking about what her people practiced thousands of years ago.
Anyhow, after reading the quote - you might ask yourself: "I wonder what John Shimotsu is doing these days?

CHILDREN OF THE NEW PARADIGM
Karl Pribram once commented that a new generation will learn about paradox in the early grades and will grow up understanding concepts of primary and secondary levels of reality. Not long thereafter, coincidentally, a junior-high student John Shimotsu of Los Angeles tried his hand at interpreting for his fellow eighth graders the holographic model of reality proposed by Pribram and physicist David Bohm. In conclusion, he said:
Why can't you perform actions that we consider paranormal? I think it is because you do not think you can. You may say you wish to, or may sincerely want to, but that will not change what you subconsciously think. Our culture says that those actions would not be possible, so that is what you think is real. To change your reality, you would have to alter your innermost thoughts. The holographic idea is fascinating. What is theory today may be fact tomorrow (Ferguson 320-1).

I think the best medicine for a situation like this is to be on both med therapy and on the spirituality of the Course. Now why didn't something think of that. . . . . . .

tsip29 - 23 Jan 2005 12:05 GMT i dont know muts about david pasquarelli! but what i have read that he dead after beining in prison. they said because of malnutrition, stress, dyhdrated..his body gave up and left mother earth.
but i think you dont die of a litte malnutrion,stress...etc. so something had to be out of balance !
but if hiv causes aids. why doesnt everybody who are infected( so the say) get "aids"

Why did Mandela survive DECADES in prison in South Africa without getting AIDS?
>but i think you dont die of a litte malnutrion,stress...etc. so something >had to be out of balance ! Now you're getting it....
>but if hiv causes aids. why doesnt everybody who are infected( so the say) >get "aids" Why doesn't everybody infected with TB bacilli develop tubercular pneumonia? Or those exposed to Ebola virus die hemorrhaging?
The horrible thing is that over 90% of HIV+ people do eventually develop AIDS if they don't get treatment.

In the Course it is for this reason we are taught not to advise the student to discontinue his med therapy while the student's mind is still connected to body-identification Ke'iko

According to the Course, Lou is sleeping once again. In the New Testament, Jesus brings a certain dead girl back to life, he is told to forget it because the girl died. He replied that the girl was sleeping.
