I often read articles about alternative cures and remedies. I recently read an article about baking soda as a cure for cancer. While there was a bit of interesting information in the article it turned out that the article was mostly about bashing the Western medical/pharmaceutical industry in a rather hostile way. Many articles that talk about alternative cures are like that. That article was chock full of judgment, condemnation, and anger. I happen to agree with most of it but I did not care for how it was expressed. It sounds like something I would have written years ago before I learned the pitfalls of getting pissed off. When you express in anger you are putting a lot of negative energy out there and negative energy — just like positive energy — will come back to you. That energy also feeds what it is directed at. So while the writer expressed intense anger at the medical establishment, he was also feeding it.
While I acknowledge that Western medicine is royally screwed up I try not to judge it as good or bad. It obviously has a purpose, both in healing and in our evolution. It is what we make of it. If you break your leg and go to the hospital to get it fixed and you have a very hateful attitude towards doctors and Western medicine then that is not going to help your healing much. Your resistance will block the healing. If you go to the hospital acknowledging that you need help and opening yourself up to the help the doctors can give and there is no resistance and no victim mentality, then healing can be empowered and accelerated. Gratitude towards the doctors and nurses will help even more. It is all about energy.
It is, of course, up to each of us individually to heal. But our development as Gods has not gotten to the point where we can just snap our fingers and be instantly healed — at least not most of us. At our current level of development we usually need help. There are numerous avenues of help available. None of them are perfect. By judging one particular avenue as “bad” then we have put forth the energy that will help prove it so. Someone who is very traditional and does not believe in acupuncture and thinks it is a bunch of hocus-pocus probably would not be helped by acupuncture much. If they have a strong faith in Western medicine then their chances of healing are probably a lot better with that. We can judge or we can choose. Either way we are utilizing help that is available and it is only help because it is still up to us whether to heal. There is nothing wrong or bad about seeking help as long as we know that we have got to do our part, too. By judging we are shirking our own responsibility and putting it on those who are trying to help and at the same time making it more difficult for them to help.
There are a thousand cures for cancer but none of them will work if we do not allow them to. From a radical point of view we could say that all cancer cures are really just a placebo. It is really us doing the healing and the cures are just a tool we use to focus our own healing abilities. I think the biggest factor in whether a cure works or not is whether we really want to be healed or not. If we want to exit our bodies and cancer is the tool we have chosen to use then none of those cures will work. If we are holding onto cancer for emotional reasons, if we have identified ourselves as a “cancer victim” in order to be fed the emotional energy we need, then we are not likely to let go of that cancer and the cures are not going to help.
Before we can heal cancer we must first realize what an utter supreme gift it is. It is a choice that we are giving ourselves. Cancer presents us with the ultimate gift, which is the choice between life and death. It forces us to choose whether or not we really, really, really want to live, and not just live but live fully. That is actually a choice that exists for us throughout our lives. But for many it is a choice ignored. We can live for decades not ever making that choice and ignoring it but then eventually, from a part of our being we are not consciously aware of, we present ourselves with something like cancer that forces us to look at the choice and make it. The longer we put off making that choice, the more things will come up to help push us into facing the choice. Every cancer, every disease, every accident, every situation is a gift we give ourselves. It is all a way of leading ourselves to making the ultimate choice we will ever face during our life. Do we quit and exit? Do we live in suffering and mediocrity and by default? Do we live as a victim? Or do we choose to live life to the fullest as though every moment was a divine blessing? Do we love ourselves into existence? Or do we resist it?
