An Essay by Neil Kramer
The Deep Joy of De-Normalizing ~ this essay by one of my favorite contemporary philosophers invokes an element of sanity to the terminal madness that has become known as the Holiday Season.
May it inspire you to turn away from the main-stream media, go outside and experience Nature, create something, anything ~ a poem, a picture, a pie ~ laugh, sing, dance and BE HUMAN!
Vanilla is one of my favorite flavors! So versatile, I use it in my oatmeal, so many of my baking recipes and more. I even drip a couple drops in my morning latte for added depth and richness. No wonder I run out of it so frequently that I began making my own a couple of years ago.
Started a new batch of vanilla extract on Friday. Since I love giving it as gifts around the holiday season as well as using it in so many home made gift recipes, I'm making an extra large batch and it should be ready right about on time ~ takes about 4-6 weeks to make. Here's directions for how to make your own batch of extract written by Rosalee de la Foret in issue 58 of HerbMentor News. Enjoy!
I received information first hand very recently from someone that had a bacterial infection on his leg. It is known as MRSA, i.e., the one that is referred to as “flesh eating.” He was being treated at a St. Luke’s Hospital in the Midwest, and said the antibiotics were not doing any good, and what finally brought it under control was Grapefruit seed extract. Very good to know. ~ David
Become what you will - a key concept for manifesting your chosen reality.
Better still - Be what you will!
Will/intend what you choose and practice becoming that choice. Wanting a thing or reality or ‘wishing it’ to be or even ‘moving toward it’, by definition and parameter, keeps the “it” ever out of reach of being.
Our job as incarnated soul is becoming very clear about what it is we choose being. By the way, stop using the word “to” as in “choose to be”. Rather, what are your choices of being, for being? The parameter of the word “to” also defines something as not-yet-being.
Practice reprogramming your thought patterns along these pathways of expression. This changes the blueprints for the emergence of your will/intention from the un-manifest (The Field).
In the Gnostic vision…emanation and mirroring are the dynamic principles that operate throughout the cosmos and within the human psyche: emanation, not creation; mirroring, not cause and effect... Life is a mystery of ceaseless, seamless becoming, a living dream that constantly shifts from one scene to another, every event pivoting on the timeless moment, Now.
~ John Lamb Lash, Not In His Image ~ Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and The Future of Belief
Remember that every “thing” or state of being exists now in the Field of All Possibilities. Every thing and state of being emanates from The Field as a defined construct. Upgrading your conscious thought patterns rewrites the blueprints used by The Field for emanating your chosen manifest reality.
Soul Medicine ~ The Heart of Healing Teleseminar Series with Author Eric Rolf
Eric Rolf is the author of a number of books, including The Soul Medicine Trilogy, which I reference often in my own biospiritual healing practice. The trilogy comprises:
Soul Medicine ~The Heart of Healing
Counting on Your Soul ~ Soul Purpose Numerology
Nanow ImaginAction
Over the past 35 years, Mr. Rolf has developed the Alma Creative Living Paradigm. This paradigm includes the Soul Medicine knowledge and methods of the “anti-medicine of instant creative cause and inner perceptive movement (IPM)”, an expansive framework for the creative perception of illness and wellness creation.
A few months after quitting my final corporate accounting position, the thick fog of worker bee social programming began clearing from my head ~ I could once again hear my soul whisperings...and this poem came to live in my heart...
As Mother Nature wakes from her long winter dreamings here in the Arizona mountains, I'm seeing signs that her creative juices are beginning to flow again. WhooHoo! Fresh spring breezes caress my cheek, raucous red-headed woodpeckers chase the robins from the birdbath, and tiny bright green leaves peek from their winter herb beds in greeting as I step out my front door ~ precious muses, each and every one.

Neotame ~ Designer Stealth Food Poisons Go Organic
Neotame is the latest version of Aspartame developed by Nutrasweet. However, whereas the alert, informed individual can choose to avoid purchasing products that contain Aspartame by simply reading the list of ingredients on the packaging, this will not be an option given to us with Neotame.
Why not you ask? Because it seems that “the food labeling requirements required for aspartame have now been dropped for Neotame, and no one is clear why this was allowed to happen. Neotame has been ruled acceptable, and without being included on the list of ingredients, for:
USDA Certified Organic food items.
Certified Kosher products with the official letter k inside the circle on labels.”
Yep, quite outrageous! (deep sigh) Though unfortunately, perhaps it’s not so surprising anymore. All the more reason to grow your own foods as much as possible, and know the sources for the foods you choose to purchase or trade for.

S 510 ~ Food Safety Modernization Act
By now you have probably heard about the U.S. Senate Bill 510 ( S 510 ) - Food Safety Modernization Act. Some folks are saying it “may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US.
What if, standard like a refrigerator or stove, every average home was equipped with a compact, easy-to-use, appliance that recycled plastic trash back into oil? Families could convert plastics to use as cooking fuel.
And what if every school installed one of these machines in its cafeteria; every community center, church and synagogue were equipped with larger units to convert the community's plastics into gas or diesel? What would the world look like if all the plastic trash was collected and recycled into usable fuel? Imagine...
“The machine produced in various sizes, for both industrial and home uses, can easily transform a kilogram of plastic waste into a liter of oil, using about 1 kilowatt of electricity but without emitting CO2 in the process. The machine uses a temperature controlling electric heater instead of flames, processing anything from polyethylene or polystyrene to polypropylene (numbers 2-4). Comment: 1 kg of plastic produces one liter of oil, which costs $1.50. This process uses only about 1 kilowatt of electricity, which costs less than 20 cents!”
And if you are using solar or wind power to source your electricity, even better!

The New Science Has Everything to Do with Your Beliefs!
The science of epigenetics says that cancer is not pre-determined by your genetic blueprint.
It's manifestation is determined by how your cells interpret directions received from your mind.
Your mind, your perceptions and beliefs, not defective genes, create a ripple effect that turn on cancer cells.
Your beliefs can change your genetic expression because they are energy fields that shape that expression.
This short video from Dr. Mercola helps explain how ~
The people around you influence your perceptions. Perceptions control epigenetics, so the philosophy of others, the culture and beliefs of people around you become part of your field, influence epigenetics, and support or undermine what you are able to create.
Your greatest limitations are the cultural beliefs you buy into...

Where There Is No Doctor ~ A Village Health Care Handbook
Where There is No Doctor ~ A Village Health Care Handbook. This is an invaluable reference guide for the self-reliant healer. It was written primarily for rural populations without medical facilities; in places where there is no doctor. However, for those of us who take self-responsibility for our own informed health care, this handbook is a must have in every home regardless of location – rural homestead or urban jungle.
An excerpt from the introduction explains its premise:
So this book is for everyone who cares. It has been written in the belief that:
1. Health care is not only everyone’s right, but everyone’s responsibility. 2. Informed self-care should be the main goal of any health program or activity. 3. Ordinary people provided with clear, simple information can prevent and treat most common health problems in their own homes—earlier, cheaper, and often better than can doctors. 4. Medical knowledge should not be the guarded secret of a select few, but should be freely shared by everyone. 5. People with little formal education can be trusted as much as those with a lot. And they are just as smart. 6. Basic health care should not be delivered, but encouraged.
Clearly, a part of informed self-care is knowing one’s own limits. Therefore guidelines are included not only for what to do, but for when to seek help. The book points out those cases when it is important to see or get advice from a health worker or doctor. But because doctors or health workers are not always nearby, the book also suggests what to do in the meantime — even for very serious problems.
The guide is a work in progress open to revisions.The ebook copy I have here was published in 2008 and is given as a free PDF download.

Traditions in Western Herbalism Conference Sept. 17-19th in New Mexico
I'll be attending the Traditions in Western Herbalism Conference in Northern New Mexico next month. I have an abiding love affair with this area of the Southwest in particular - it's dramatic landscapes, big sky and haunting beauty seeped deeply into my soul years ago, found a welcoming heart and made a home there.
It's been over a year since I've last been through NM(much too long) and I'm so excited to get back for a visit.
The conference is at The Ghost Ranch outside of Abiqueue and I'll be camping on site. With the line-up of extraordinary healers, lectures, intensives and entertainment, this promises to be both fun and educational.
If you happen to be attending yourself, send me an email or contact me on Facebook and let's connect. I always enjoy meeting new friends.
