A Power Greater Than Evil

Higher Power2

We run and we run.  A virus drops or a guy goes wild on the world stage with big explosions, and it’s tempting just to run, run, run.

What’s a virus next to balanced, thriving, healthy days of life?  What’s the virus against a well-oiled immune system, eating good foods, working, playing and loving in a vibrant proactive fashion?

What are Vladimir Putin’s bombs and aggression next to a mother’s love?

***

Let’s stop running and square up our problems like men and women.  If someone bombed my hometown I wouldn’t refugee away from the bombing, but march to the source and have a talk with some people.  Unarmed, Christian, loving, direct talk.

Of course evil exists.  It always has and always will.

What’s your response to it?  Run?

I say, let’s live toward our problems, not away from them.  Live with the Power that ignites us all!  Live toward our enemies and love them back to sanity!  Live so well that our blood will pump into every extremity with a beating heart that will never stop for a measly virus!!!

There is a Power greater than evil, so align with it.  Never cower to the bully!  Love him.

Never cower from a virus.  Love today!

LA Filth1

Civilization.  Leaving the earth
behind.  Latching on to
parts of a big holy book,
leaving others behind.

(Because…)
Science.  Nevermind the snake
oil, the leeches, the blood suck—
Letting us know that fear
becomes a drug…

And drugs sold means lots of money.
Panic! It brings us to our knees—
from there, “Please!” many cry
not in prayer but at the deified
smocks of Western medicine.

Civilization. The real pandemic,
Cut off from the earth, from a
working faith;

We bow down to Science—
human, fallible science,
calling every theory fact,
Counting our cash,

Pointing up at hospital rooms
(great places to die)
instead of Native Great Spirits.

The Cure to believe in Nature,
in Creation.

But few can hear sound words
above the Suck,
the helicopter patrol, the
car addiction, the echoes
Streaming off asphalt’s oasis.

Stop

The great excuse to misbehave,
not come to work, not say hello,
not shake a hand…

“Don’t even look at me,” says
the disease that treats everyone
like a disease…

Please. Covid response by
corrupt, confused governments,
anti-social germaphobes—

Have their justification, at last,
to cower without judgement.
It’s okay! You can fear others now,

and get the back pat by human
authorities, the white coats running
a panic game, a lucrative one,

pharmaceutical companies reaping
the harvest of your fear, assuring
you this is… Health.

***

Turn around.  Wake up.  Open up
your eyes and define life! Your way,
Health is extremely personal so

state your belief, seek your path—

But please stay in your lane, I’ve
got my own here!  Do you know
my medical past?  Do you know
the intimate details of what I’ve
been through?

If not, kindly care for yourself, wear
a mask, don’t wear a mask—your body is
yours, some say from parents, from
higher powers, creators, nature
or whatever! It’s yours!

Fear is universally unhealthy.  And
fear precedes anger, a state politics
finds itself in, when the other guy or
girl doesn’t do what we want them to do.

Live and let live, remember?  Adhere
to a glorious moral code, one from
books or old wisdom… but something.

Grab onto good principles to avoid
judgment of others, live your life
fear-free, honor Creation underneath
civilization,

Underneath Covid-19.

Amtrak Ignores CDC Mask Exemptions

Mask1

-by Bill Watkins 10/20/2021

It’s tempting to bully others, when you feel threatened.  Many people feel afraid someone is going to breathe on them and give them Covid-19, kill them…  It’s the type of fear civilization foments, folks living on top of each other in mass buildings, concrete, asphalt and earth-burning rapid transportation.

Here in New Europe we suffer years of Western medical doctors with their convincing claims of disease and solutions, fancy degrees on the wall full of themselves and knowledge.  Enough to overcome early blunders as bloodletters?  Can we trust them or pharmaceutical companies pitching tomorrow’s cures, warding off addiction—justifying all by record sales?

Governments do.  Governments kicked out “God” years ago, anything Science can’t explain, anything too controversial like religion…  But wait, isn’t religion a part of many people’s conception of Health?  Health is extremely personal.  Why is government in mine?  Do they live with me? Do they know my medical history? 

“Masks are for your health and those around you!”

But I have a diaphragm injury, can’t breathe through them.  How’s that good for my health?  You hear me, Public Transportation?

Amtrak, are you listening?  Did you read the CDC mask guidelines?  There’s a big section mandating masks to be worn on all federal transportation, but guess what?  As there should be, there is also a pretty large section of EXEMPTIONS.   You won’t hear about those, if you are a passenger on their trains.  The conductors won’t listen to your CDC-granted exemption to wearing a mask because some individual or individuals at Amtrak have decided to push their own “policies” outside of the CDC asks.

The CDC rightly excuses someone from wearing a mask, “when experiencing difficulty breathing or shortness of breath or feeling winded” until able to “resume normal breathing through the mask.”  To me “normal breathing” never includes doing so through a mask, but at least the CDC comes out against suffocation on board public transportation services.

Amtrak is all over the place about mask policy, when they should just stick to CDC’s shtick.  I contacted them on Twitter, Customer Relations by phone,  then a supervisor, and finally a guy emailed me.  I was seeking their “policy” in black and white.  Of course they don’t have an officially published policy that goes against the CDC’s logical exemptions.  In this atmosphere of fear they bark about stuff like being “committed to the American Disabilities Act,” then a system of requiring that passengers with aversions to masks apply 72 hours in advance of travel for an exemption you may not get.

Adam Bland of Customer Relations at Amtrak said in his email to me that “Per federal law and Amtrak policy, all customers in stations and on board trains and thruway buses are required to wear a face mask or covering that fully covers the entire mouth and nose, fits snugly against the side of the face, and secures under the chin at all times.”

“Unless they can’t breathe” or any other logical reason to not wear a mask was left out of Amtrak’s supposed policy, seemingly made up to be verbally administered case by case and not on any website.  Why would it be, if it goes against the CDC?  And so… because Amtrak fails to mention all the reasons the CDC says it’s okay not to wear a mask indoors, I’ll print them here:

While in indoor areas of conveyances or while indoors at transportation hubs, people are not required to wear a mask under the following circumstances:

  • while eating, drinking, or taking medication for brief periods of time;
  • while communicating for brief periods of time with a person who is hearing impaired when the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication;
  • if, on an aircraft, wearing oxygen masks is needed because of loss of cabin pressure or other event affecting aircraft ventilation;
  • if unconscious (for reasons other than sleeping), incapacitated, unable to be awakened, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance;
  • when necessary to temporarily lower or remove the mask to verify one’s identity such as during Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening or when asked to do so by the ticket or gate agent or any law enforcement official;
  • when experiencing difficulty breathing or shortness of breath or feeling winded, until able to resume normal breathing with the mask; when vomiting until vomiting ceases; or if wearing a mask interferes with necessary medical care such as supplemental oxygen administered via an oxygen mask.

The following categories of people continue to be exempt from the requirement to wear a mask:

  • A child under the age of 2 years;
  • A person with a disability who cannot wear a mask, or cannot safely wear a mask, because of the disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.);
  • A person for whom wearing a mask would create a risk to workplace health, safety, or job duty as determined by the relevant workplace safety guidelines or federal regulations.

People on board the following categories of conveyances continue to be exempt from the requirement to wear a mask:

  • Private conveyances operated only for personal, non-commercial use;
  • Commercial motor vehicles or trucks, if the driver is the only person in the vehicle or truck, or the vehicle or truck is operated by a team who all live in the same household and are the only persons in the vehicle;*
  • Conveyances operated or chartered by the U.S. military as long as the operator of the conveyance follows all requirements of U.S. military services to prevent spread of COVID-19 that are equivalent to the requirements in CDC’s Order.

*Non-passenger-carrying commercial vessels operated by a team of mariners who all live on the vessel and are the only people on the vessel are also permitted to use this exemption.

A Power Greater than Covid

Power1

Talk health. The dreary, never-changing tale
Of mortal maladies is worn and stale.
You cannot charm, or interest, or please
By harping on that minor chord, disease.
Say you are well, or all is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make them true.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox

What a nightmare to be a Christian Scientist during this time.  I call it a government panic, you might call it a global pandemic; someone talks about people dying, I cling to eternal life.  Faith is the cure to all disease and conceivable woe, in my opinion—but if faith in a higher power is an offensive concept like talking politics at the dinner table, let’s talk about faith in our bodies…

I believe in this amazing body I got at birth.  It’s fully equipped with extras!  An amazing immune system, a brain so I can think for myself what works for my particular path in life… My own personal path to health, to joy, to love—some even still talk of Heaven!  Call it peace of mind, eventually having Faith in more than just your physical body, doing good things and thinking of others before yourself.

Western medicine sells theories as “fact,” that the world and us weren’t created right, so we need to put a mask over it.  Hogwash.  I have never become truly sick while my life was in perfect balance… Exercising, open air living, a good diet, a mix of loving, playing, working—sleeping well.  Of course I haven’t.  Western medicine (doctors) will have you believe during their Virus Panic of 2020/2021 that we should be scared of each other!  We should stay away from each other… We shouldn’t trust the air, it’s bad… Our bodies and immune systems not good enough!

Hogwash.  Horse manure.  Untrue… I don’t buy it!  Western medicine has been selling their snake oil for hundreds of years, going up the skirt of the human bodies for all of life’s answers.  For them and believers in them, the physical is all, the body the key to long life, but I think they define “life” and in fact “health” differently than me.  I know what works for my health because I live with me.  How is a doctor or government going to know more about my health than me?

We have lived through a bad history of “conquest” (land theft), crime justified by a bible, and in that environment of forced civilization enters the often false science of Western medicine and its overpaid, over-trusted doctors.  What was their once-grand solution to fevers and bad physical health?  Blood-letting!  What’s still their number one activity in offices across the West?  Blood-drawing!  “Yes, little Billy, let’s see what’s wrong with you.  Once we find what’s wrong, we’ll prescribe you lots of healthy drugs!”

Drugs and blood-drawing.  Hogwash.  Overpaid doctors with diplomas granted by other doctors, a community of establishing fears and illnesses, then presenting themselves as the great cure… “Will this be cash or credit, Billy?”  Hogwash.  And dangerous… Fear is the most dangerous virus in the world today, the largest religion claiming to have a cure for it being Western medicine.

Allow me, please, to present another one—older, wiser and better:

Faith.  Faith in God.  Faith in a Higher Power, call it what you will.  Faith in Creation, in the sweet air of the country, away from the cities of doctors, hospitals and large bills… Faith in ourselves.  In this amazing body we were born with, in your own health when you make good decisions and live in a balanced fashion.  Leave the cities Rome pitched so violently across Europe, and that Columbus, the Spanish and English forced on Turtle Island, Aztlán, and other parts of formerly beautiful, peaceful land called “America” by egocentric, violent, ethnocentric Europeans.

Reject the Conquest.  Reject the armed theft.  Reject forced civilization, its noise and fake cures!  Keep blood inside your body, say no to Western medicine’s bloodletting and drugs, find your own definition for health and life—a more expansive one that is dreamt of in doctors’ philosophy.  Say no to the Kool-Aide, they’ve spiked it and have been for years!  Water beats beer, a walk in nature beats a doctor visit, and faith in God is the cure you’ve been hoping a mask over your face would bring.

To those addicted to Western medicine and civilization, my words might offend you, and what’s more you might snicker and wish me a related harm, saying: “Oh, just wait ‘til you get Covid virus, and you’ll feel differently.”  I did get Covid virus, I’m pretty sure.  A real pain in the rear end… actually my head!  There are lots of bummers out there to catch, but I will never say that Western medical doctors have all the answers, like gods in white coats.  Here’s my little account of catching a really bad bug back in March of 2020:

I picked up a weird virus… Something I had never felt before, a dramatic ache starting in the supermarket one day, then a strong three week fever.  No cold symptoms, just the fever and a horrible headache, which seemed an exaggeration of the one I had before picking up the virus.

I get sick when I’m off-balance in life; in this case I had been writing too much, eight days in a row without a break.  When I write a lot, I rest a lot.  If I rest too much, including the use of ice packs to my neck, I will develop a headache from too much pillow contact… That’s how I came into the supermarket that day, and I picked up an ugly bug.

I blame no one.  Not the little girl I met on the bus to town, whose mom said she had diarrhea and was heading to the doctor’s.  Not the people I greeted at the market, or anyone else on my bus… This was the beginning of the Covid-19 panic, and all the market employees were wearing masks, making me think I was searching for produce in a hospital emergency room.

There was fear of illness, my own headache and being off-balance, and there you go… I got the evil thing that was out there.  Was it Covid-19?  I’ll never know for sure, because I don’t go to doctors much or believe in Western medicine.  I’m sober eighteen years, live in the mountains, know what is healthy for me and do it (most of the time).  Doctors’ offices are overcrowded, over-air-conditioned and over-priced.  No thanks.  I fail to see the health there.

Drawing blood out of my body, where I always thought it would do the most good; giving me experimental drugs at a hint of depression; selling experimental science as if it were factual; compromising itself with politics, getting rich and those viper insurance companies hiking up already exorbitant prices!  No thanks.  I prefer the country, my faith in God, dabble in Christian Science—using the bible and prayer for a positive attitude and health.

But I did get sick!  I get sick about every other year… I admit, this one was wild, stayed with me for a couple months off and on, just that fever ickiness washing over me every once in a while… Sickness!  I got it because I was off-balanced and my immune system was down from its normal strength.  Did I get it because someone “infected me?”  Did I get it because I wasn’t wearing a mask?  Did I get it because I was not practicing the blatantly un-Christian concept of “social distancing?”  No.  No.  No.  I reject all those theories posing as facts for governments to use in their irresponsible, un-Christian, anti-spiritual, pro-Western medical, shady legislating.  Why shady?  The U.S. Government (or any other I know) has never defined the word “health…” That’s a big deal when laws try to address “health”-care!

I like good science.  X-rays are cool, for instance… Facts!  I’m saddened by the Covid-19 Panic of 2020/2021 for two reasons: 1. It’s bad spirituality on display and 2. it’s bad science as well.  Yelling out a virus’ name, being scared of it, obsessing about it creates a false god.  Religions which have cowered from the virus should be ashamed, re-read the Ten Commandments in the bible, and “Have no gods” before the One!  Yell out One name! Fear that!! Center thoughts on that, love and Faith, then we’ll say, “Where the heck did that silly virus go?”  It goes away, like every other flu that’s ever hit a flu season!!

That’s what my strange virus did over time, like any other sickness I’ve ever felt.  It went away… It was a hard struggle, horrible headaches, fever, aches, losing pizazz and my passion for my life, not being able to write more than a couple paragraphs in three weeks!  Bummers galore!  I even cursed out God, I have to admit, more than once!  Mostly because in the middle of my sickness the locals where I live in Mexico set off fireworks a stone’s throw from my house, the week of Saint Joseph, littering our peace with bombs.  Went right to my temple, throbbing, shooting to go with the chest pain and twitches I always get around those stupid things.

Then the mosquitoes came… Just when I’m getting some sleep to bash that virus out, the buzz at my ear, and I’d have to hunt down the buggers for an hour!  Calamity!  Injustice!  Why’d you make this horrible stuff, God!?!?  I was ticked.  And sick… Near suicidal, flashing thoughts of self-harm… But… little by little… I apologized to God, that saint’s week of dumb fireworks passed, the mosquitoes gave me a break.

In 12-Step groups, I used to hear the expression, “God never gives us more than we can handle.”  I think there’s something there.  I was brought to the brink, but I had enough faith, positive thinking through my Christian Science training, and patience to gut it out and win.

***

We are all different, and my way of achieving health might be different than yours… My definition of health is a peace of mind I get by doing what I feel is God’s will for me, one day at a time.  Very “AA” of me, but in my life, I find it all goes better when the spiritual leads the emotional and physical.  Spirit, spirit, spirit!  It’s powerful stuff, that and faith, and I’ll declare now proudly that if I had one type of healthcare to name it would be Christian Science, a religion founded by Mary Baker Eddy which applied the bible (especially its gospels) to our day to day health.  An elderly woman I drove around as a service back in the ’90’s related this religious view of health to me, and I like it.  It works for me and it has a great price tag: it’s free.

Let’s put that aside as one person’s view of health in a large country.  There are over 300 million people in usurped Native American land, hence over 300 million views, which I imagine range from totally unlike mine to slightly different.  We all have different beliefs on many topics, the U.S. Government through its First Amendment to the Constitution purporting to allow for that, explicitly in the area of religion and the press.  My version of health has a very strong, in fact dominant religious and spiritual component to it.  Am I the only one?  I sincerely doubt that, as the population of Christian Scientists alone would clearly testify, a number over a couple hundred thousand to be sure.

If health has a religious connection to more than just me, why is Government so adamant that it should be involved with it?  Let’s look at that famous Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…

The U.S. Government needs a clear definition of terms before it can be a valid legislator on “health;” perhaps one that would cross a religious line, so render it the wrong institution to in fact legislate on the topic.

I visited Otsungna (“L.A.”) in April from my home in Mexico to note that its mayor was making citizens wear masks in any public place.  This is one of many instances over the years of Government taking sides with Western medicine, calling their “experts” health itself.  A silent arrangement, but an unproven link lingers, as I know I don’t see or feel health in an over-air-conditioned, over-priced doctor’s office.  I have the Christian Science, yes, but even the Native American Great Spirit—the natural, earth-based approach to health—fills me with peace of mind more than Western offices, concrete, asphalt, pills and surgeries.  It’s okay for someone reading that to be upset and claim a different point of view!  Perhaps you get great peace of mind from Western medicine, which is fine, so wear your mask without making me wear one please.

We should all be free to decide our own health path on Turtle Island or anywhere else.  This is a hard essay to write, as I don’t actually believe in the United States as a valid government, for it was founded on armed theft and violence against the native people here.  In fact, at no time has the United States Government received consent of the native peoples to govern here that was not forced at gunpoint—and by John Locke’s definition of true government, validating itself by the “consent of the governed…” we have a failure.  That being said, one has to live by even invalid constructs, and in the case of the U.S. there is a law that’s supposed to give us free speech, and it also claims so proudly to be a democracy.

But during a virus panic, the Government feels it has an excuse to squash free speech, mandate quarantines and masks—lending to the problem in logic I have with such a response.  If one is living a healthy life, making positive choices and walking a path with conviction and belief—why would that person change such a path because of an over-hyped virus?  The U.S. and other governments aligned with Western medicine ask and demand that we be afraid of people, keep distances.  This is against Christian practice, asks that I believe the lie that my brother or sister human being out on the road is more likely to curse me than bless me. I’ll never believe that, nor will I ever believe in a government that doesn’t allow me to believe what I want to believe.

“But what about all the death?”  With true faith in a power greater than ourselves and viruses, there is no death.  Build the spirit well and live forever!

Amen

Los médicos y sus gobiernos usurpados quieren que nos contengamos, nos escondamos, retrocedamos, nos encojamos, usemos cubrebocas y temamos a la gente como remedio para un virus fuerte que circula por la ciudad.  Negativo, negativo, negativo.  No gracias, no gracias, no gracias.

Sin un título de médico, sé lo que es la salud para mí porque he vivido conmigo durante cuarenta y ocho años.  Respirar aire puro en el campo es salud.  Visitar amigos es salud.  El ejercicio y la buena alimentación son salud.  Dormir bien, equilibrar el trabajo, el amor y el juego… La Salud.  Cuando esas cosas se alinean bien, la enfermedad no puede afectarme.

Sí, tenemos algo llamado sistema inmunológico.  Defensas naturales contra las enfermedades que son mucho más poderosas que los cubrebocas mal usados por los profanos que no tienen ni idea de cómo lavarlas y aplicarlas correctamente.  ¿Evitar vivir como una forma de no morir?  Ese es el enfoque del gobierno dirigido por médicos, y carece de lógica.

¡¡Vivir bien!!  ¡Viva a lo grande!  Vive grandes días, equilibrados y fuertes.  Evite beber líquidos inflamables como el alcohol.  Evite inhalar humo en los pulmones o comer en exceso… Esos son buenos RECURSOS, buenos remedios naturales que los gobiernos no están impulsando ahora.  ¡Cree en un Poder superior a ti mismo que es positivo y amoroso, coloca ese Poder en el cuidado de tu vida!

Positivo.  Amoroso.  ¡¡Sal a vivir, levanta polvo y haz que la sangre circule como niños alrededor el arbolito de navidad!!  ¿Qué médico no podía decir que eso fuera algo saludable?  O… encogerse.  Esconder. Aguanta y teme… ¡Es tu elección!  Dieciocho años de sobriedad, mi elección de hoy es la misma que estaba haciendo antes de que los gobiernos colaboraran con los médicos en el Gran Pánico Covid de 2020:

Vivir bien

Doctors and their usurped governments want us to hold back, hide, fall back, cringe, wear masks and fear people as a remedy for a tough virus going around town.  Negative, negative, negative.  No thanks, no thanks, no thanks.

Without a medical degree I know what health is for me because I have lived with me for forty-eight years.  Breathing fresh air in the country is health.  Visiting friends is health.  Exercise and good food is health.  Sleeping well, balancing work, love and play… Health.  When those things align well, illness cannot touch me.

Yes, we have something called an immune system.  Natural defenses against disease that are far more powerful than poorly used masks by laymen who haven’t a clue how to wash and apply them correctly.  Avoiding living as a way not to die?  That’s the doctor-led government approach, and it lacks logic.

Live well!!  Live big!  Live great days, balanced and strong.  Avoid imbibing flammable liquids like alcohol.  Avoid inhaling smoke into your lungs, or overeating… Those are good “hold-backs,” good natural remedies governments are not pushing now.  Believe in a Power greater than yourself that’s positive and loving, place that Power in care over your life!

Positive.  Loving.  Go out and live, kick up dust and make that blood circulate like gangbusters!  What doctor couldn’t say that was a healthy thing?  Or… cringe.  Hide.  Hold back and fear… It’s your choice!  Sober eighteen years my choice for today is the same one I was making before governments collaborated with doctors on the Great Covid Panic of 2020:

Ya nos estábamos poniendo un poco raros.  Miedo rodando, cubrebocas de Asia, Melvin de Mejor… Imposible, TOC y hipocondría enloquecidos. 

Ingrese un virus posiblemente creado por el hombre de China, patentes registradas para tratar el “Covid-19” desenterrado por periodistas hace años, preparándose para beneficiarse de un gran pánico mundial.  ¿Pandemia?  ¿Temor?  ¿Quién se beneficia más de esas cosas que los médicos y gobernadores, políticos y narcotraficantes que te ofrecen píldoras de emoción en la televisión mientras las batas blancas te sacan sangre en los hospitales, diciéndote lo que está mal y que podrían ser tu única cura? 

El agua de cerdo nunca olió tan mal.  Cubrebocas en el rostro de todos en la gran pesadilla de la gente con la fe, gente que no tiene miedo de un virus, creado por el hombre o de otro tipo.  El diablo emocionado, gritando ¡SOCIAL DISTANCING! en varios idiomas diferentes, aquí donde vivo en México SANA DISTANCIA igual de malvado y en contra de los evangelios amorosos y otros principios finos de un pasado cagado. 

El miedo no es saludable.  El pánico no es saludable… Pero el letrero en la puerta me asegura que necesito usar un cubrebocas por mi SAULD.  Todavía estoy esperando una definición gubernamental de la palabra… La salud es personal, es diferente para cada persona que conozco… Entonces, ¿cómo diablos un gobierno nos va a ayudar a todos en el asunto?  La política se ha comprado, de hecho está A FAVOR de la medicina occidental, son compradores consumados de la chupada de sangre, el microscopio, la seguridad de que la bata blanca y el doctorado alto son lo más cercano a Dios que podemos ver, así que págales llamémoslo Salud. 

Al igual que llamamos al vendaje BAND-AID, al asesino de hormigas RAID y al limpiador de ventanas WINDEX.  La medicina occidental es solo una marca de salud, pero incluso usted que lee esto puede haber asumido hasta ahora que, de hecho, era el camino hacia la salud.  “Todo el mundo lo está haciendo, ¡únete a nosotros! ¡Enmascara con cubrebocas, hombre!  Amigo, mantente alejado de mí, ¡es posible que tengas gérmenes de piojos!  ¿Qué?  ¿Me llamas fobia a los gérmenes? Amigo, es mejor que muerto…” 

¿Qué es la muerte?  ¿Qué es la vida?  Y… ¿qué demonios es la salud?  Si la salud y la vida para ti es evitar tu muerte física a toda costa, estás muerto en un lugar muy especial: rima con calma, cuya expresión da tranquilidad, tu alma.

Covid2

by Bill Watkins 10/23/2020

We were already getting kind of weird.  Fear rolling in, masks from Asia, Melvin from As Good as it Gets, OCD and germaphobia gone wild. 

Enter a possibly man-made virus from China, patents registered to treat “Covid-19” unearthed by journalists from years ago, preparing to profit from a great worldwide panic.  Pandemic?  Fear?  Who benefits from those things more than doctors and governors, politicians and drug pitchmen slinging pills for thrills to you on TV while the white coats draw your blood in hospitals, telling you what’s wrong and that they might be your only cure?

Hogwash never smelled so rank.  Masks on everybody’s face in the great nightmare of folks with Faith, folks who aren’t scared of a virus, man-made or otherwise.  The Devil excited, yelling “Social distancing!” in several different languages, here where I live in Mexico “Sana distancia” just as evil and against loving gospels and other fine principals of a pooped on past.

Fear is not healthy.  Panic is not healthy…  But the sign on the door assures me that I need to wear a mask for my “health.”  I’m still waiting for a government definition of the word…  Health is personal, is different for every single person I know…  So how in the world is a government going to help us all in the matter?  Politics have bought it, are in fact “all in” on Western medicine, are consummate buyers of the blood suck, the microscope, the assurance that the white coat and fancy degree is as close to God as we can see, so pay them and let’s call it Health.

Just like we call the bandage “Band-Aid,” the ant killer “Raid,” and the window cleaner “Windex.”  Western medicine is just a brand of health, but even you reading this may have until now just assumed it was in fact the road to health itself.  “Everybody’s doing it, so join us!  Mask out, man!  Dude, stay away from me, you might have cootie-germs!  What?  You callin’ me a germaphobe?!  Dude, it’s better than dead…”

What is death?  What is life?  And… what in the world is health?  If health and life to you is avoiding your physical death at all costs, you are dead in a very special place: it rhymes with goal, the expressing of which gives peace of mind, your soul. 

Medicina occidental no es salud

Hay una separación entre diferentes cosas, un espacio en el diccionario entre palabras.  Pero con el tiempo, las palabras se mezclan, los conceptos se difuminan y cuando hay dinero en juego:

El monopolio sigue siendo el nombre del juego.

Raid gobierna el negocio de insecticidas porque su nombre se convirtió de alguna manera en sinónimo de… “insecticidas”.  Windex rige la limpieza de ventanas porque su nombre irrumpió en nuestros cerebros para ejemplificar y convertirse en… “limpiador de ventanas”.

Introduzca la medicina occidental.  “Ciencia” moderna, hospitales, esterilidad, extracción de sangre y microscopios.  Batas blancas, cuentas grandes, pero bueno, eso es lo que se supone que cubre el seguro, así que marque el “911”.  Drogas, drogas, drogas… respaldado por títulos, doctorados de filosofía, doctorados de medicina, universidades con mucho dinero repartiendo diplomas que seguramente brillarán en las paredes.

Si alguien dudara de la autoridad del gran médico y de su decisión, se puede señalar los títulos, los diplomas que brillan en las paredes, los doctorados, los doctores en medicina y las grandes universidades repartiendo no solo papel, sino… Autoridad.  “Tienen razón porque son médicos”, “Son los expertos”, y otras apelaciones similares están justificadas por la educación en Ciencias con una C mayúscula, del tipo que puede ser extremadamente lucrativo si todos están convencidos de los hechos que usted en una bata blanca arroja.

Pero, ¿qué es la salud?  ¿Son la salud y la medicina occidental lo mismo?  ¿Dónde está la separación?  Para gobiernos como Estados Unidos, México y los políticos que los sirven: no hay separación.  La medicina occidental ES salud y el dinero público la respalda como mamá grita: “No olvides comprar Raid en el mercado”.

“¡Y algo de Windex también!”

Los departamentos de salud de todo el mundo moderno están comprando los elegantes diplomas en las paredes, convencidos de sus “expertos”.  Dios, la espiritualidad y la religión es el engaño de hoy, y cada día que pasa es empujado más y más al montón de chatarra.  Samuel pidió un rey humano, los presidentes nacionales son deificados junto a los médicos y, de repente, aparece un nuevo virus en Asia como prueba de esta versión aparentemente grandiosa y llena de expertos de la difusión de la salud.

Excepto que las herramientas médicas modernas no incluyen la fe.  Fe en Dios, fe en nuestro cuerpo dado por Dios, fe en la naturaleza para sanarnos, fe en el amor, fe en la unión, fe en la sobriedad, ¡en vivir días positivos, valientes y equilibrados, un día a la vez con gratitud y gusto!  “Si Dios está por nosotros, ¿quién contra nosotros?” San Pablo reflexionó en una carta a los romanos.  ¿QUÉ puede estar contra nosotros?  ¿Un virus?  ¿Es un virus más poderoso que Dios, un ser para la mayoría el Creador de todas las cosas, incluidos los virus?

No para mí.  No para los científicos cristianos.  No para personas que creen en su propio sistema inmunológico sobre una máscara de papel.

¡El pánico está en marcha!  Un momento triste para las personas con fe, observando todo el miedo, esperando que Dios pueda intervenir, restaurar la cordura, traer la paz… La medicina occidental no es salud.  Es solo una marca, como Raid es una marca de insecticidas y Windex es una marca popular de limpiacristales.  Hay otros, más baratos, que también funcionan, algunos que incluso podrían ser mejores.

Tengo un médico al que llamo Dios, y no busco consultorios médicos abarrotados y con aire acondicionado que me cobran de más por sacar sangre de mi cuerpo, decirme qué me pasa y ofrecerse como la gran cura.  Me abstengo de las drogas, tanto las de la calle como las de los médicos.  El mundo está bien hecho, yo estoy bien hecho y sobrio.  Me propuse vivir un día increíble, equilibrado y amoroso, después del cual planeo agradecer a Dios y descender a un sueño feliz.

La tranquilidad aguarda a los verdaderamente sanos, un día a la vez.  Toma tu medicina occidental, si ese es tu camino… Pero deja de vendérmela, como si fuera la única para la salud.  ¡Al menos tenga la cortesía de definir usted mismo la palabra SALUD!  Lo pondré junto al mío, y ambos podemos admitir que la salud es personal, algo de lo que los gobiernos de todo el mundo deberían mantenerse alejados, como hacen la mayoría de los sanos con la religión.

La ironía.  La religión y la fe son mi camino hacia la salud…
