Light the Fear

I Was There

I was there before the collapse, before the loss of chance, before the shackling of love to the limits of growth.  I grew up in a world of sunshine laced days, racing down the block to the cool metal poll, chalk on the sidewalk and balmy rains every afternoon.  Winning some and losing some, yet knowing the game was fair, the sun my friend.

I was there before the hate and the vitriol and the diatribe tribes propaganda propagated their profit mantra, before the fundamentalists peeled off and ex-communicated science, before we each were so willing to sacrifice the other in our own personal visage of truth, when truth meant something shared, something given and something uncertain accepted.

I was there before the abuse and the sexualization of honor, before anyone snorted meth off a toaster, before reason was overtook by blind faith and fear raped love then married her to raise their incestuous child on a reality show conceived in the test tank of a tube mogul's island party house.  I remember silence and the soft skin of lizards caught dashing between blades of solid green, a mirage fading with interconnectedness and digital everywhere and everything bleeding us into nothing.

I was there before tears stained my cheeks and hope wracked her bones on the shoals of a muse unable to see the tragedy of her song, compelled to sing yet ever hopeful to the future as the blind can never see the light yet bathe in the photons none the same.  We were opportunity and the chance was ours, slipping like a free market failure to find us the right solution in time to make different the trends that reveal unreal feelings failing to fulfill our falling call to destiny.

Biochemical Individuality, Systems Medicine & Personal Energy

The advance of modern medicine has been so profound for so many generations that most of us never pause to consider the accuracy of the fundamental principles behind most medical treatments.  Core among all sacred truths in medicine is the universality of the causes and solutions to disease.

Yet this view is finally changing as our genetic and chemical understandings increase, and many now feel that the universal approach is not sub-optimal method to heal, but actually may also be the cause of chronic disease in many individuals. 

By treating us all the same, modern medicine has missed the point that we are each dynamically individual with natural (and positive) variations across the core function of our biologic systems. In fact, as we uncover the complex interplay of genes, epi-genes and environmental factors, we now know there is a wide variety of chemical operational variation among humans.

So what is most important is not what your lab results say about the exact chemical nature of your blood or other bodily samples as compared against the mythical "normal human," but what is the interplay of your biology, your energy and your environment.

Systems medicine treats the core operations manual of the human body as an information system with DNA and genes operating not as a simple recipe to "make us," but instead, DNA is a complex decision making program that operates in the individual context and environment to express its amazing instructions into the actual cellular life that comprises each of us.

There are many gains to be had in ignoring our diversity and pushing ahead with the study of medicine that helps as many as possible, and yet, this core universal applicability model of medicine also dead ends many patients in "chronic" uncurable conditions, e.g. autism, fibromyalgia because no universal solution may exist.

Yet a "cure" may exist for these patients through a different approach to their own individual needs and expressions.  Our biochemical individuality, like our energetic individuality is from our personal source of being and purpose, and thus systems medicine asks more of its patients, just as it asks more of its doctors.

The doctors of the future must be co-collaborators with patients in manifesting health through a patient study and understanding of each individual's needs.  It means training doctors not on a disease by disease basis but on a system by system basis, focusing on the interplay between health and attitude in patients.

Likewise, patients of the future must know more about themselves.  In Bio Sense Suit terms, the pilot of the suit is in the best position to run and understand diagnostics.  Doctors will be there to help, as will an individual genome map, and yet systems medicine, if done right, empowers patients to take control of their own care and health.

The Three Modes of Your Mind

Your mind is a powerful control interface to both your body and your spirit, or energetic aspects.  Yet across all of the complex and diversified thoughts, beliefs and knowledge our minds process, there are only three modes to any mind: perception, intention and expectation.

We may be a mix of one or more modes at any time, but every human experience can be mapped to this closed set of mental operational modes. There are times of pure experience in one mode, but there are also times when all three modes unconsciously mix and obfuscate our own role in creating and allowing our personal reality. 

The goal of considering in what mode your mind is operating is to see if the mode is aligned with your goals for that thought, relationship or activity.  Moreover, being aware of the Laws of Thought, we realize that being aware means being a conscientious mind owner because different circumstances call for different mental operational modes.

For example, when performing art, it is sometimes more gratifying to forget the audience and focus on creating, i.e. to limit your perceptions and increase your intentions.  Likewise, once we understand the power of expectation on others, the ethics of relationships encourage us to own and limit our own expectations of others as a means to support their true nature.

In whatever mode, our mind is a powerful sun radiating energy and vibrations across both the primal network as well as through the various thought atmosphere's in which we participate.  Instead of an unconscious aggregation of default programming, awareness of the modes also allows us to operate across these modes in a conscious active way.

Perception is a state-of-mind in-time caused by the intersection of Intention (Love in the above drawing) and Expectation (as tempered by Knowledge in the above drawing). Perception is an aggregation of sensations, thoughts, emotions, memories and filters that streams through the mind in real-time.

Intention is the personal radiation of life content (purpose/fate) broadcast constantly from every mind (conscious or unconscious, deliberate or default) that creates their life experiences and can be measured as Flow (pure energy voltage) and Grow (energy-matter current/capacitance).  Intention is timeless and stored/formed from personal morphic fields (energetic DNA) and is carried on the same wave/particle as Expectation.

Expectation is the personal radiation of life form (allowance/limits) broadcast constantly from every mind to express or deny their Intentions and is usefully measured by Attitude (positive or negative charge) and Beliefs (flow and grow resistance) modified by cumulative Knowledge.  Expectation is time and memory-based, body-stored and Grow-dependent, i.e. fully rewritable by the Mind, and is carried on the same wave/particle as Expectation.

In the above decade-old first drawing I made to noodle out these modes, I called Flow "evolution" and "God's Plan" at the same time because I believe they are different labels for the same perceived phenomena in our lives.  We each feel we have a purpose, and that is key to personal happiness.
