I'd like to propose an idea and see how it flies. By the way, I'm not
sending this message with any attachments that I know of, and hopefully I've
fixed whatever in my email setup was causing it to do that.
I'd like to propose, since we have so many people who read this list, in
many countries and towns, the following idea. Why don't we collectively
choose a day and a time, at which everyone who reads this list, or is
otherwise connected with it, to each pray/meditate/visualize for a cure for
PD. Christianity (the Bible) says that when one or more are gathered and
pray in God's name, anything can be done. Deepak Chopra, and other
"Newagers" talk about how our beliefs and perceptions create our reality,
and if we really want something to happen, we need to put the intention for
it out into the "void" and the universe will work to bring it about. (He
also does say tho' that one can't be too attached to the outcome, in the
sense of being obssessed with achieving it or whatever). Quantum physics
talks about how the universe is in part revealed to us via experimentation,
dependent on the way in which we have chosen to conduct the experiment.
Other religious/spiritual/philisophical traditions also have similar beliefs
about how reality is created and shaped. In a sense, we are co-creators
with the Big Creator, of our reality, and this reality can be shaped by our
beliefs. There is also strength in numbers, and maybe by sending out our
desires for a cure to this disease, all at the same time, while also
remembering to give thanks for this desired outcome, as if it were already a
reality, we might be surprised. I think it'd be a cool experiment anyway
and maybe even a good publicity stunt!
There's a biologist, Rupert Sheldrake, who talks about these fields
(morphogenic fields?), which exist everywhere, and along which information
travels almost instantaneously. There's a story (which I've also heard
Deepak Chopra relate) about some monkeys somewhere, who found some fruit
lying in the dirt near a body of water and somehow on their own, figured out
that if they rinsed it in the water, it became more edible. Supposedly
other monkeys in this group also picked up on this, and it began to spread.
Eventually monkeys at far distances away, who were too far to have had any
direct phsyical contact with these first monkeys, were also found to be
washing their fruit. In summary, the theory is that once a critical number
of individuals gain a certain knowledge, it becomes part of the collective
unconciousness, which all then have access to.
In the same vein, I think that if we all agree to do this idea at an agreed
upon date and time (wiith a special significance - say at a solstice, full
moon, historical even, etc?.), maybe by sheer strength of numbers we can
help speed the universe along to the outcome to which we all desire. If we
all believe as if a cure is imminent, and meditate on that as if it were
already true, then I think we could accelerate things along past this
critical mass which stands in our way. Then, we could all get on with
pursuing, full steam ahead, whatever our life's purpose/passion may be, and
do it unencumbered by pd. Boy, do I have alot of plans, that would be
infinitely easier to accomplish without pd, than with (altho' I intend to
pursue them irregardless). I also have the hidden agenda of trying to find
a cure for myself that will either not be dependent, or be minimally so, on
animal research. I'm looking for a miracle, and I believe it can happen,
especially if enough of us also believe it. (If they're experimenting with
animals now with a drug which can possibly regrow nerve connections in the
brain, why can't I do that myself without drugs?) I need more than just
myself tho' for this critical mass, and I want it to benefit everyone with
pd, not just myself. (See, I KNOW I'm going to conquer this - but that only
helps me - I'd like to have everyone also feel as certain, even if only for
one minute on an agreed upon day). This idea might seem flaky to some but
I'd like to propose it anyway and see what everyone thinks. It certainly
couldn't hurt anything. If anyone had ideas on a good day/time, please also
bring them up too.
