My recent experience with medication

My recent experience with medication has taught me that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, just like in physics.

In other words, any wanted effect tends to be balanced by an unwanted effect, experienced later.

So if I experience relaxation from a drug later discomfort will be experienced. 

This is particularly true for the brain meds.

A pure platform

A pure platform takes no position on anything, beyond providing fair rules of engagement. 

After all, that's what God does with this earth. 

Free will rules. 

We get to choose.

It's called "trusting the individual to create their own life", rather than "imposing your will on other people".

Biochemistry and the soul...

Between neuron and the synapse...

Is that where the soul lives?

Or us the whole process purely deterministic...

Acting like a machine?

Or is there life in there somewhere?

I view the body as a disciplining tool for the soul

The body is a harsh mistress. 

If we mistreat it we will suffer, sooner or later. 

It confines our spirit to one place to experience ourselves and the results of our actions. 

We cannot easily escape these things. 

We learn cause and effect and to live with the consequences of our actions, sometimes for a long time.

When we face reality as it is we have a chance to succeed...

But if we impose on reality what we wish it to be, rather than meeting it AS IT IS, then we set ourselves up for failure.

Anxiety can come from the body or the mind

Just as fearful thoughts can can cause anxiety, so can various bodily states cause our heart rate to rise, adrenaline to flow, and our thoughts to race.

For example, if we aren't receiving the oxygen we need to function normally our body will go into fight or flight mode in an attempt to gain it. 

So if our breathing is restricted or inadequate for our needs we experience anxiety. 

Similarly, if other crucial needs are not being met, such as the need for hydration, food, sleep, space to move, expulsion of bodily wastes in a timely manner, or in the case of extreme pain, poisoning, etc. our body goes into fight or flight mode.

This is an uncomfortable state to be in and is a sign that action needs to be taken to address whatever need is not currently being met.

To not do so only extends the period of our anxiety.

How to elicit the full power of the placebo effect

The "placebo effect"* relies on the person receiving a treatment being CONVINCED they are receiving a therapeutic agent which will assist their problem. 

Being told they may or may not be receiving a therapeutic agent, as is the case in a randomized trial, will not elicit the full placebo effect.

*a.k.a. the power of belief.

A mother is challenged on vaccines- ELLIE GREY

I signed both the kids up for the GP practice today only as they both need their hearing tested...But the nurse came out and started having a chat with me - she said that she’d noticed that Marley hadn’t had a single vaccine, and that Skye was years overdue.

I told her that I absolutely would never consent to them having a single vaccine and as soon as they’ve had their hearing tested that we will again be deregistering. 

She then made a comment somewhere along the lines of ‘that’s a very uneducated decision to make, we are medically trained for a reason, so we can save lives...are you? What do you do?’

This pissed me the fuck off! But boy was I glad she asked. My reply -

Thanks for assuming that I am uneducated, a bit of discrimination is great for a Monday morning. I’m actually studying my law degree, of which I have had a result of no lower than 89% for any of my assignments and my medical sciences degree, no lower than 91%. I am studying to specialise in vaccine injury and pharmaceutical corruption. Can you name me 3 ingredients in a vaccine? No. Can you tell me how many human and animal dna cell cultures are in the vaccines? Na. Can you tell me what the VAERS database is? Nuh uh. Can you tell me how many mcg of aluminium a baby receives in the routine 8 week jabs? Nope. Can you even tell me how many vaccines a child receives by age 12? Nada. Can you tell me how much compensation has been paid out for vaccine injury and deaths? No can do. Can you assure me that the safety of combined vaccines has been tested? Noooo. Can you reassure me that you have done over 3000 hours of research like I have? No. Can you tell me you were aware that you are more likely to die from the MMR than mumps, measles or rubella combined? No! Don’t you dare call me uneducated when I can wipe the floor with you on this topic. YOU are the uneducated one, who was trained purely to sell vaccines on behalf of £2bn a year profit pharmaceutical companies. 

Yep, I was rude. And nope, not a single fuck was given 👍

After she left the receptionist booked me in their hearing tests and I muttered *loudly* -

‘Babies don’t start developing their own anti bodies until they are a year old anyway, so even the idea is bullshit’ 🙄

I wasn’t in a good mood."

Cooperation among the powerful of society

Author Kim Michaels says that each society has a power elite and an aspiring power elite, and that the upheavals in our society come in large part from their jockeying for position 

But such conglomerate power only comes from building alliances, which require cooperation. 

It's not just a matter of being a billionaire or a holder of a high office.

These people must work in unison with other power interests to move things in a direction that suits them all.

One person alone is rarely enough, no matter how rich.

National Park entry fees are discriminatory

Charging people to enter national parks discriminates against the poor.

The land is theirs to visit, as much as anyone else.

After all, it isn't privately owned or run to make a profit.

Any funds required to keep the park functioning should come from general revenue and a donation system.

But the ones behind entry fees don't want the poor visiting "their" parks, do they?

That's obviously the real (hidden) motivation.

Such discrimination against the poor is rarely an accident, though it may pretend to be!

It's natural to disagree!

It's natural for people to come to different conclusions about COMPLEX TOPICS. We shouldn't punish people for it!

The establishment are out of phase with nature

The establishment are out of phase with nature. One result is the ongoing assault on the planet's natural systems for the profit of a few. Another is endless war. A third is the global healthcare system.

Artificial systems promoted above natural, life-giving ones for reasons of profit, but sold as necessity.

And a planetary population mind-controlled by the very people destroying it, through their vile media, and allowing it to happen, and even cheerleading it on, because they are convinced to do so.

Brainwashing is all around

People are allergic to the word "brainwashing", as if it only happens in cults or repressive regimes.

But the truth is we are all brainwashed from cradle to grave, by many different sources and the society around us.

Only by being aware of it can we counter it.

Otherwise we will just think that the ideas being repeated over and over are indisputable facts, rather than perspectives that can be challenged.

Useful idiots/ gatekeepers of the establishment narrative

The establishment puts quite a bit of effort into mobilizing the community against the establishment's greatest threat- critical thinkers. 

Those who watch and believe their news programs will be weaponized against critical thinkers and will be programmed to attack them when they are encountered. 

These "useful idiots" are the foot soldiers of the establishment. They are also called "gatekeepers of the establishment narrative" and are symbolized by Agent Smith in the Matrix movies.

Fake search engines

When we use a search engine we want to see the search results that most closely relate to the search terms we have entered, but this doesn't happen with Google.

They just put you onto some unrelated establishment-approved pap much of the time.

It's not: "Here's what you asked for", it's "Here's what we want you to see".

So phony. So fake.

Better to use a real search engine for topics the establishment wants to hide the truth about.

Using discernment about the right-left divide

It's definitely possible to believe that Gavin McInnes (from whom the Proud Boys get their name) is a dick and that Antifa are a sad lot. 

We don't have to love everything on one side of the political spectrum and hate everything on the other side.

We can use discernment and support those politicians who have good will and integrity, no matter what "side" they are on.

Examples:

Tulsi Gabbard (D) and Rand Paul (R).

We want both "sides" of politics to be filled with good, incorruptible people.

After all, without a strong opposition governments can run amok.

Just look at Dan Andrew's Victoria.

There, opposition has been weak for years, and so he is able to destroy their economy, undermine the population's civil liberties, and strike terror into their hearts, all while remaining effectively unchallenged.

This is a situation no-one wants to end up in.

Far-right, far-left and extremists

The use of "far-right" and "far-left" as terms to smear people seems largely idiotic and random to me.

What makes someone "far"? 

Is it the belief that violence, bullying or discrimination is justified in order to change the political system or to get people to change the way they act? 

If so, then the person is dangerous, no matter what political label is applied. 

But if they don't advocate the use of force then they are not extreme, and so any label of "far" seems misplaced.

WHAT IS AN EXTREMIST?

I would say anyone who holds the view that the ends justifies the means is an extremist, no matter where on the political scale they are, and even if they are considered "esteemed" members of the establishment.

After all, many "respectable" members of the establishment push for unnecessary wars and laws that discriminate against minorities and in favor of vested interests.

I would call them extremists.
