The Cosmic Force
Laura's NOTE:
This thread has been split off from the 12 December 2010 Session discussion. It was at that session that we inquired about a sickness that had fallen on many of us in the Chateau following a meeting of group members here in France: Paleofest. The "bug" led to two members of our household becoming seriously ill and one of them, Atriedes, my son, nearly died. It was from these experiences that we learned a LOT more about diet and health than we had previously taken onboard. As a result, we made further experimental adjustments to our diet and did more research which we have subsequently shared here on the forum and on sott.net.
Since I refer to this learning experience now and again, I thought it would be useful to consolidate the posts that reference it into a single thread. It is helpful to read the session thread linked above first, but even without doing that, one can catch on quickly in this thread alone.
I don't think your understanding is too limited here, Mrs T – you have put your finger right on an important point osit. I have noticed the same thing. People ask questions, they may agree with a description of those in power as lacking conscience. They may comment that I look really well but when I explain that this is because I follow our dietary guidelines, they will dismiss this as 'Oh, he eats all that healthy food,' – as if they have no choice but to eat what they eat. It's most odd and a little disconcerting.
People often don't seem able to make simple connections e.g. between my degree of health compared to theirs and the diet I follow, or the fact that I haven't had a cold for a long time, when they clearly have had, and then completely ignore information about stopping colds and flu with ascorbic acid. They seem to just switch off or delete the information from their conscious awareness. Having said that, it will actually be really painful to stop these kinds of efforts (if indeed that becomes necessary for my strategic enclosure) as I do want to help people. It is rather frustrating knowing that simple means within everyone's reach are available to improve health and mental and physical functioning. Another example: I spent some time a few weeks ago describing my diet, and the effects of gluten and dairy in particular, to a woman in her late 40s who is very overweight and who really wants to slim down. She is an intelligent woman and seemed genuinely interested and fascinated by what I was telling her, and said that she would try to change her diet to this different way of eating. I have just heard that she is seriously considering paying to have a gastric band fitted!! The phrase 'pearls before swine' comes to mind, but when I see people suffering, with help so close at hand, I find it difficult not to make suggestions which, if acted upon, could be of help.
But I do agree with you, Mrs T, that it appears to be a drain of energy but then one never knows when such seeds may bear fruit. The problem is that if one waits to be asked for such information, one may never be asked as people generally don't think of asking!
