Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 I think death is so scary that we look for ways to rationalize it-- especially a sudden, unexpected death. We try to find ways to fit into a coherent and rational pattern, such as " he burned fast and hot and quick " or " perhaps he had a death wish " ? Etc. But the brutal fact is, every living organism dies. It's just so unthinkable we don't want to face it. His death reminds me of the preciousness of each day. In addition, the cautionary tale I took from his getting sick is not to believe all the devotees out there of various extreme health regimens. I know years ago, before I had lyme but when I was already struggling with candida, someone tried to corral me into a fruit juice fast. I told her that would just feed the candida. She insisted it would be me in an alkaline state and yadayada. Well, intuitively, that didn't make much sense. I didn't do it. It is hard to know the balance sometimes. Ken talks about pushing through with the ozone, and probably for some people that is right, and maybe others have to back off. Sometimes we make mistakes as the messages we're getting aren't clear. I don't think we should blame anybody, really, but try to have compassion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Depression? Jim's death > Something I have long been wondering about has been touched on in several posts re Jim's death. That is: do certain individuals have a " death wish " ? Do they (we) unconsciously seek to accelerate our own demise? Jim was an avid proponent of ozone therapy and owned one of Saul's units. He was obviously aware of the many ways to overcome disease by alternative methods. Yet, he apparently didn't make use of the unit fully and was traveling without it during the time he was most ill. He went to his sons home for help, yet left the unit behind (maybe no room in the vehicle?) He posted once about the quick improvement he had with breathing tea tree oil, yet didn't seem to follow up on it? He was a healer, yet didn't seem to help himself. He seemed to be by himself at the end? Was he not really wanting to recover? > > A lot of advertising capitalizes on mans death wish. You see it especially in the subliminal paintbrush artwork in cigarette and alcohol full color advertising. Really evil stuff. Not sure how this affects women? > > Green said: " I have been been procrastinating too long in getting serious about my own healing " . I have been doing the same thing. Why do we procrastinate when we know the means to healing? Ken said: " grab the healing opportunity while you can. " I think we all know healing is there for us, after being a part of this list for awhile. So why haven't we grabbed it? > > Corny > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 - Hi Jill, Replies below. -- In oxyplus , " jill1313 " <jenbooks13@h...> wrote: > > His death reminds me of the preciousness of each day.<snip> > >** Very well said. Sometimes people get so hung up on death it robs them of living in the now. In reality all any of us really have is the moment we are now in. Nobody is gauranteed tomorrow of even the next minute. I don't think we should blame > anybody, really, but try to have compassion. ** This reminds me of Job's comforters, which is really no comfort at all. Always some kind hearted (well maybe not so kind hearted) friend pointing out it's because of some hidden, unconfessed sin which God had to punish. Too bad Job's comforters didn't die with Job. Would have maid the world a better place. Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Dear List, I've been putting together the emails from Jim that I'd saved. Not too long ago, he sent one in which he briefly talked about being glad to be living in these unsettling times. Something like " I'm glad to be here to see how things unfold. " If anyone has it, would you be willing to send it to me. Many thanks, Jeff _________________________________________________________________ Learn how to choose, serve, and enjoy wine at Wine @ MSN. http://wine.msn.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
