Yes, the RESTACK option on comments went a few days ago, I think they got too many complaints of people not wanting their comments on articles appearing in Notes without permission...
Physically it was discovering that the 9 different tablets I was on actually seemed to cause more symptoms! Now I am off 90% of them I have been mysteriously undiagnosed from Lupus, APS and Fibromyalgia. Zero sugar in my diet and good exercise have been my 'cures'. Mentally it has been discovering and accepting that I have no control but over my own actions and becoming more peaceful and gentle because of it. Thank you for asking me.
Well said. I try to capture the remnants of what I can remember amidst the chaos and harms of childhood. The sooner one does this and ignore the huge negativity, cavalier assumptions made by doctors and rise above all that assertions about our body the sooner that brain washing can be slowly eliminated. Once you realize the body does keep score and we need to begin to make our score higher than those who cheated us of those earlier years.
We live in a negative world with few positives pointed in our direction. Education was poorly asserted into our world with grades, testing and comparisons instead of just pure enjoyment of learning and high praise of life.
If we can learn to focus on the joy of life we might be able to rise above the negative programming done to us by others, the better we will be. No one is above the false, uneducated rhetoric given out by those who think they know what is best because they don't.
My first psychology professor in said that most illnesses are fads and will change from year to year. He also said when you have a bad day it can lower your resistance to cold or illness, but also if your day is fun, this can also lower ones resistance. Moderation was what he promoted. I think I could have used more of the latter on some level it made am imprint on my view of the world of medicine.
So good to read a concise, articulate summary of the work I have been doing on myself for the last few years! Thank you for this. I feel encouraged on my journey.
Gary, this is spot-on. In order to get our basic needs met, we learn from moment one on this planet that we must assimilate to our surroundings. Some of us were better equipped, for some reason, to realize that this was all temporary, that we would — and should — ask questions, mature, and individuate. Still, few come into adulthood unscathed. And of course, this is also because the family and every social construct has been infected by the true virus, the machine-mind. And right there, you have the lure of cure(s) via "Mommy Medicine", "Daddy Government," "Education," and the Media.
Sometimes, it takes a strange event in our lives to get us on the path to healing. I wish it didn't have to be this way. But it's almost like when scar tissue needs to be torn away from the muscle and/or tendons it adheres to: Until that un-attachment happens, one will always be stunted, weak, and in pain. Yes, the initial tearing is painful, but is necessary for true healing and freedom.
And part of the problem with this being a painful process is that people are rarely shown another way! This is the ancestral trauma part.
This weekend i was at the (online now) Beyond the Dura Conference, put on by Upledger Inst every 4 years. Dr Gerald Pollack was one the keynotes, as was Dr Stephen Porges. Many more. The consensus of all their research is that even our primitive brain is evolving! Isn't that cool?
We are being upgraded, not just torn apart by the fractionalization of self.
Beautifully astute
In my case a trauma from childhood played out in adulthood and it rained all over again
The body did the best it could. Certainly more resilient than it’s given credit with a ‘sickness’ focus
Finally back to the cradle
Bed bound and learning to walk again
I love how you wrote the dissolution
The i we were is shattered
Beautiful analogy
I hear it rarely from the science mind
My question to you is
Who are you?
Are you a limited schema? A parody of all that went before?
Or are you in fact holding this limited self
In the eternity of you you you
Me me me
Are we the same ?
What if we are invited to consciously pass through the ‘death’ of the self, to find, the I is indivisible from the entirety
Nothing is personal
And life lives on
Moment by moment
As this ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Beautifully written!
Thankyou. Having read a few of your articles I am signing off from substack
I need joy not NWO terror. I am educated enough around it
Here’s some joy

Not resilient, but anti-fragile. Not back to a previous state, but forward to a new equilibrium.
Always moving forward!
@Gary, I cannot restack comments anymore? I wanted to share this!

All right! Well, I have then Restacked the quote ;)

I liked the idea of likes in comments being moved to Notes automatically. Nice growth trick!

What was the most memorable discovery in your path? :) Looking to learn, here.
Apologies, I meant to press reply but did a separate comment instead!!! Thank you for asking the question. See if you can find my other comment ha ha

Thank you, very well said. I couldn't agree more.
beautiful Gary. Succinct and straight on.

Big fan of Pollack and Porges! Interesting on the upgrade idea.
Love this Gary!
I love the idea of putting ourselves forward together. Well said.
So well said. Very resonant. Self awareness is such an important part of healing. Thanks for this post! 🙏
Very good Gary.
