Everybody relates to curing

[Guest guest]

Everybody relates to curing on a level. You can identify yourself,

and your level of relating to it, from the list below:

· They DON'T. They look for someone else to cure them. This is most

people.

· They try to help THEMSELVES, and look for others to advise them.

These are the " takers. " No matter what they do for themselves, they

generally don't think they can help anybody else, or even want to.

There's pathology in place that prevents them from transferring

whatever skill they develop in curing.

· Then you have the people who focus on helping OTHERS, sometimes to

the exclusion of helping themselves. Many of these people make a

living at it, and they don't want anybody to know they need anything

-- need help. Their livelihood depends on them looking good. They're

in a prison of helping.

· They try to help the PERSON IN FRONT OF THEM. It's one-on-one.

These people develop a “philosophy " that states, roughly speaking, " if

I help myself, and I can just help the person in front of me, and if

everybody does that, the world will be transformed. " That's bunk.

Everybody doesn't do that. And that's the tough one: when you have

this philosophy, it's very hard to see that it's bunk.

· Then you have the people who focus on the WORLD. They see through

the limited benefits of helping themselves and the person in front of

them. If it's not going to be good for everybody, they skip it.

That's who I want you to be. That's who I am.

If you are already like me, you and I both need to recognize that most

people are not like us, and we're not going to make them like us

anytime soon. What we can do is talk about this. We can delineate

these issues. And if we delineate them in front of enough people, if

we don't make it a one-on-one conversation, many will discover that

they were like us, but were afraid to say so. The " help the world by

helping myself and the people in my neighborhood " philosophy seemed

like the cool thing to them, and they needed somebody to tell them it

was OK to abandon it.

The more of us that know we're like this, the more of us there will

be. You don't get to infinity arithmetically. Contrary to popular

philosophy, you don't build a beach one grain of sand at a time, or

save the whales by helping one whale. You build beaches with huge

dredging equipment. You save whales through legislation.

And, yes, when you see a whale in distress it's a good idea to get a

bunch of people together and see what you can do for her. That

broadcasts a loud clear message that causes legislation.

You see, if you are focused on all of humanity you will always help

yourself, because you'll be maintaining yourself all day for the

purpose of being in good shape so that you can affect the whole world

at the highest possible level. And you'll do the same for anyone who

approaches you, no matter what level they're on, and often without

them even asking. You'll volunteer your help, or give it when asked

for it, AS LONG AS DOING SO DOESN'T DISTRACT YOU FROM YOUR MAIN

ENDEAVOR. And when you find yourself being distracted, you will tell

the person or people around you, and get everybody back on track. And

let those who won't join you in focusing on the world go on their way.

And their way may have been made better, and easier, by the help you

gave them, or simply because you asked them to focus on the world.

When someone is asked to focus on the world, rather than on themselves

or some individual, their general ability with and awareness of curing

rises, even if they don't know it did. They're a little better, forever.

Right after I said all that, I bumped into one of my neighbors who was

riding her bike. I gave her a CD. I always carry a copy of the CD in

my pocket, and I give one to everybody I bump into who seems

receptive. Like somebody who's also exercising -- obviously she's

interested in her health. And when I gave it to her she told me that

her sister had cancer 25 years ago, was given six months to live, is

still alive, and yet still has pain, associated with that condition.

I didn't ask her for details, but I told her to listen to the CD with

her sister, and practice together. " It's easier together, " I said.

And I see what I did with her as a global action; not the least

because I've got 1300 of you to tell about it.

CD?
