1 Uit de praktijk:

“Je moet het geloven” zei iemand laatst tegen mij toen ik hem iets probeerde uit te leggen over de kracht van affirmaties als je die op de TAT manier doet. Integendeel vind ik, richt je liever op ervaren. Als je iets uit eigen ervaring meemaakt dan is dat waar voor jou, want het doet zijn werk. Probeer iets uit zonder geloof of oordeel vooraf met alleen nieuwsgierigheid als handvat. Dan onderzoek je tenminste. Als je weet dat de meeste wetenschap voornamelijk gebaseerd is op de methode ‘error en try’ waarom zou de alternatieve behandelingen dan op geloof moeten worden gebaseerd? Waarom niet gewoon proberen en als het bij je werkt dan doet het iets voor je. Daar kun je vervolgens blij mee zijn of het afwijzen. Dat maakt mij niet zoveel uit.

Ik zelf doe mijn hele leven al niets anders dan uitproberen, scheiden wat geen of onvoldoende resultaat oplevert en behouden wat wel gewenst resultaat oplevert. Een therapie is zo goed als de therapeut die hem geeft, want alleen met een techniek kom je niet tot echt resultaat.

Een week later belt hij me op en zegt dat TAT voor hem werkt. Wat heb je dan gedaan vroeg ik? Nou gewoon ik had een zinnetje in mijn hoofd dat niet wegging. Toen heb ik 5 minuten TAT gedaan en ik ben er vrij van. Het was iets wat me dwars zat en toen het weg ging uit mijn gedachten kwam er ruimte voor een concrete oplossing.

Na zo’n belletje is mijn dag goed. Niet omdat de techniek heeft geholpen maar omdat iemand er zelf in geslaagd is iets toe te passen wat goed voor hem blijkt te zijn.

Meer iets voor de lente maar goed.

2 Over relaties volgens Eckhart Tolle (en mijn eigen commentaar daarbij, want ik ben het niet helemaal met hem eens maar wel grotendeels)

As long as I have the idea in my head "I have a relationship" or "I am in a relationship," no matter with whom, I suffer. This I have learnt.
With the concept of "relationship" come expectations, memories of past relationships, and further personally and culturally conditioned mental concepts of what a "relationship" should be like. Then I would try to make reality conform to these concepts. And it never does. And again I suffer. The fact of the matter is: there are no relationships. There is only the present moment, and in the moment there is only relating.

What is conventionally called "love" is an ego strategy to avoid surrender. Tja ik heb niks met het woordje overgave omdat dit feitelijk inhoudt dat je jezelf in handen legt van iets of iemand anders. Het Ego is een automatische reactie machine die er alleen op uit is zichzelf in stand te houden in een kringetje van gefixeerde gedachten en gevoelens. Daar doorheen breken levert vast een hoop vrije energie op die te gebruiken is als authentiek creatief potentieel.
Iets of iemand je liefde verklaren wordt dan een reactie om tegen te gaan dat een ander inzicht mogelijk is. Dat inzicht is begrip hebben voor ipv controle hebben over een ander.

ET gaat verder met: The Spanish language is the most honest in this respect. It uses the same verb, te quiero, for "I love you" and "I want you." To the ego, loving and wanting are the same, whereas true love has no wanting in it, no desire to possess or for your partner to change. Het word liefde definiëren blijft een nogal heikele kwestie want wat is nu TRUE? No wanting, no desire, no possess leidt dat dan tot eindeloos geduld of eindeloos wachten tot dat de partner ophoudt met je te kleineren, verslaafd te zijn of de kinderen te slaan? Nee dus, begrip houdt ergens op. bijvoorbeeld als iemand de code van goed gedrag met voeten treedt dan is true love ook dat je de andere stopt, afkapt of desnoods bij hem weg gaat.

The ego of te wel the reactive mind singles someone out and makes them special. It uses that person to cover up the constant underlying feeling of discontent, of "not enough," of anger and hate, which are closely related. These are facets of an underlying deep seated feeling in human beings that is inseparable from the egoic state. When the ego singles something out and says "I love" this or that, it’s an unconscious attempt to cover up or remove the deep-seated feelings that always accompany the ego: the discontent, the unhappiness, the sense of insufficiency that is so familiar. For a little while, the illusion actually works. Then inevitably, at some point, the person you singled out, or made special in your eyes, fails to function as a cover up for your pain, hate, discontent or unhappiness which all have their origin in that sense of insufficiency and incompleteness. Then, out comes the feeling that was covered up, and it gets projected onto the person that had been singled out and made special – who you thought would ultimately "save you." Ja da’s waar niemand kan je redden behalve jezelf en gek genoeg kun je wel veel steun hebben aan iemand die in dat proces interesse in je blijft houden.

Zoniet: Suddenly love turns to hate. The ego doesn’t realize that the hatred is a projection of the universal pain that you feel inside. The ego believes that this person is causing the pain. It doesn’t realize that the pain is the universal feeling of not being connected with the deeper level of your being - not being at one with yourself.
In een relatie ben je bewust ‘effect’ van andermans liefde en daarmee ook gedeeltelijk van andermans nukken en grieven. Als dit twee kanten uitgaat is een interessante dynamiek die kan leiden naar een harmonischer samenzijn waarin plezier de boventoon voelt.

Is dat de werkelijke reden waarom we relaties aan blijven gaan?

3 Over een nieuw methode om kanker te genezen
The reality is that a couple of million dollars can pay for FDA processing of a new technique or protocol that could actually treat cancer. It's about time we do away with the barbaric and torturous treatments we have now. So why aren't we putting new protocols to the test? I think we can infer the answer to that. Annmarie and I just wanted "Burzynski," a documentary about a Houston doctor who is treating cancer with a group of peptides called "Antineoplastons." Antineoplastons are naturally occurring peptides that Dr.Burzynski found did not occur in the urine of cancer patients.

His assumption was that if he was able to isolate them into a serum, he could give them to cancer patients and their cancer might go away. His assumption was right. In fact, in comparison to many "modern" treatments, his protocol works better. Up to 25% recovery for specific malignant tumors, according to the film (compared to much lower numbers for any conventional treatments.) He's even had success with Glioblastoma, which is an aggressive form of brain tumor. A tumor, conventional treatment says, is a death sentence. Now keep in mind, this type of treatment isn't a cure all.

People who take it still die. But the numbers, from Burzynski's side and some reviewed trials are promising. Unfortunately, Burzynski has been tormented for years by government agencies. In the film at one point, he says that even in Eastern Bloc Poland - where he was born - they wouldn't have treated any doctor like he's been treated here in the U,S. I found that shocking, but at the same time typical of the stories I hear from around the country. If it's not a MD, it's a clinic or a supplement company. The bottom line is that eventually the system as we know it will collapse. It's already set up to do so

The burden of our sicknesses are getting too great for our funded services to take care of.

When the collapse does happen, it might hurt a bit for all of us at first, but we'll be the ones who are ready to help rebuild it. In regards to rebuilding, we have alternative treatments.

Gerson, Hippocrates, Dr. Gonzales, Dr. Burzynski and more have been working on this groundwork for decades. Prepare for them to rise up and make the difference in a failed sick-care system. :-)

All this week, we're celebrating these alternative practitioners. We have brought in the Buryzski documentary into the store so you can have access to an awesome film. We've also discounted the Gerson Tapes until Sunday. Here's where you can get the DVD, watch the trailer or get the Gerson Tapes at a discount... http://www.renegadehealth.com/burzynski

4 Life in the 1500's (zou er veel verandert zijn in 1500 jaar?)

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the b.o.

Baths equalled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually loose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water".

Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets...dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs,"

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem. Hence those beautiful big 4 poster beds with canopies.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor". The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold".

They cooked in the kitchen in a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been in there for a month. Hence the rhyme: peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes... for 400 years.

Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers - a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trencher were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth."

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust".

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake".

England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and reuse the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.

So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift"

they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer".

And that's what life was like in the 1500's…
