The Architecture of Health, Part Four

Well, well! Here I am in the middle of a series about health and healing and I get a tooth abscess. Not only that, but it’s just days before Part Four, Breaking the Pattern, and that’s just what this tooth issue is about for me, breaking a deeply coded pattern. My friends Greg Pruitt in Oklahoma City, and Betty Kellenberder in Auburn, CA are trained in Biological Decoding, developed by Prof. Enrique Bouron. I asked each of them what t! he underlying program is regarding the specific teeth involved, from the Biological Decoding view and I burst out laughing at what they revealed.

Spot on, the information pointed to a traumatic childhood moment and old family pattern that has been a teacher of mine more than once in my life – I’d say it’s one of those master teachers I’ve written about before. As I work with this information in a new way, I’ll probably share more about it, and the decoding of this pattern for me, in an article in the future. For now though, enjoy your own thoughts, wisdom and questions as we contemplate breaking patterns that have become physically symptomatic.

Breaking the Pattern

A thought, laid down repetitively in the pliable wave field of the body, creates a body memory or habit, a pattern. Unless this pattern is interrupted at the thought level, it will ultimately manifest in the physical as an interruption of the natural health of the body. Form follows thought. We might say the body is taking information and direction from our thoughts continually. The prime tone of the thought directly affects physical health. That is how thoughts filled with fear, worry, self-hatred, stress — if not contained by our awareness and supported by actions to change — rob us of our health, even creating very specific ailments in our body.

We can, however, change our thoughts much faster than our bodies. Being far denser in its composition than thought, the body can be slower to catch up. This is good. It allows us to recognize and interrupt the thoughts that may create difficulty. But it also accounts for why, when we have understood and corrected an unhealthy pattern, the physical change doesn’t appear to follow. The body is slower to respond and that is why persistent repetition of visualization and relaxation might be necessary to break the pattern and alter the physical situation.

We can become discouraged and give up quickly. Not seeing immediate results, we abandon our practice and settle back into fear or despair or complacency. This is rather like committing to take a car trip from California to New York but upon becoming lost in Las Vegas we say, “Oh, it’s no use. I’ll just turn around and go home.” Rerouting is all that is required to put us on track no matter how many times we lose our way while changing an unhealthy pattern. The constant rerouting is what unavoidably interrupts the undesirable wave pattern being laid in the body. A little humor helps with our impatience, I love what Harry F. Banks said about success:
“If at first you do not succeed — try to hide your astonishment.”

The body is not solid. The body is always new. The body possesses a consciousness, intelligence, and memory and is extremely responsive to our thoughts. Combining this knowledge, we have a remarkable tool for our health. By communicating consciously and lovingly with our body there is really no limit to its capability to respond. The key is found in shifting the body/thought dialogue from a confused or fearful reactive conversation to an elevated co-creative one. It can bring about our renewal to full health, heighten our vitality, and even slow aging.

Hundreds of cases have been documented of yogis in India, shamans in indigenous cultures, and martial arts masters who completely control bodily functions, even taking poison without harm, being cut and punctured without bleeding, surviving in good health indefinitely without eating or drinking, stopping their own hearts for long periods of time before restarting them, and many more “impossible” things. These are not bizarre miracles beyond comprehension or beyond the ability of the majority of people. It is a latent power within each of us. This is simply the natural power of the healer within.

As I have learned to hear the inner physician and implement that wisdom; as I have cleansed my thoughts and body, come to love myself and my life fully; as I have learned to partake of the succor and Light available in the Implicate Order of stillness, and integrate peace in my own being, I have grown healthy, full of vital energy, and more youthful.

Basically all healing is the intake into the body of eternal sun, the Light. If you can call upon this Light, it will actually control the cells of the physical body. The body is so heavy, material life so strong, that you forget the power of God to re-create tissue, to re-create the living cells of your body.
— White Eagle

I think that quote by White Eagle sums it all up for us. The capacity for renewal is built into the body system. Many things spark it, vitalize it, restart it, boost and support it – such things as good diet and exercise, prayer, healing touch and other such energy work, sunlight, cleansing, supplements – the list is long. I’ve seen in my life that it’s rarely about the one right thing, the magic bullet; and it’s generally not the same one thing every time I have a health crisis. It’s also not about achieving the ultimate pinnacle of health and then never having to think about the body again. That’s pure fantasy for any of us living in a physical world of turbulence, environmental factors and many other such physical influences.

Remember a few years back the Dali Lama had a health crisis? It was announced in the press. Then about nine months later it was announced that he had passed through the crisis. The important thing here is not the “Why?” question, not the fact that he had a crisis and why did he, shouldn’t he never have a crisis if he is truly an enlightened being? See the wishful thinking there, the ungrounded fantasy? Feel the fear in giving up that idea?

I know we get very focused on WHY and this can be an important phase to add understanding. But truly, I think “why?” can and should be a brief and efficient stop along the way, not a place to park. I don’t think it it’s all about “why?”

What is it about then? The dialogue. The enjoyable, elevated, on-going inner and outer dialogue with the body. For this co-creative conversation, we stay present and joyfully engaged in being in a body. And, we accept our position as physical captain of own team Body Wonderful.

I think we’re ready for this. You? Does it mean stabile health can never be achieved? Is the miracle of final perfect health not possible? Hmmm.. Let’s ask that next time! Until then, I toast to your good health and to my own. May the blessing of health be available to all in our world, may it be possible and far more simple than it seems. May we have health care, support and solutions that are affordable, high effective and non-toxic. And humane.

That longing is full, in each of us, do you feel it? And that is certainly the very least we should require of our inventors, professionals and institutions. Let’s expect and create this together in our potent and joined intent as we explore the architecture of health through the miracle of conjoined mind.

As they say in Los Angeles, “Love you! Mean it!”
And warm hugs to us all as winter finds us with it’s chilly fingers,
