Iodine, correcting false beliefs and growth

[Konstantin]

Thank you for this post Joe and all others who participate in this.

Experimenting with Iodine was and still is one of the biggest thing that happened on this forum and all the members. Joe posts make a big difference in understanding my own reaction to iodine when it was the hardest for me.
Despite all strong reactions that i had , i restarted the iodine protocol but this time way more slowly and gently . I know somehow that its right choice, right way to go , somehow i have a faith in that process.
All that posts in the iodine thread just gave me information, support that i`m not alone in this , that there are other people struggling similar effects from iodine. That helped me a lot.
Iodine and the whole work in general is helping to see and understand ourselves more clearly.First of all we have all see the debunked myth that iodine is poison, and how its not a good thing. Personal experiences from people revealed us one big and important truth about iodine. Then it revealed us other truths about ourselves, about how toxic our bodies are( and our environment). It have crashed many illusions about us. So, yeah it was/ is a symptom of the iodine, symptom of the wave.Opening and understanding more about reality
I understand that only thing that i can change is myself and iodine is one excellent tool for that. I can clear my endocrine system and we know that endocrine system is our connection with higher realities and helping each other with iodine , we are helping each other to reconnect to higher densities, to make us better receivers.

Iodine sure is interesting and it makes sense it could be preluding the wave. But Joe i must say, every time i listen to you on a the sott radio, you surely are changing things. For me anyway, you sound confident and sure in this path, that translates faith to me. Same as everyone who does what they do. Sure its not about changing reality, but it can be about communicating it, which seems to be something your incredibly gifted in and it brings to me atleast, a confidence in the path of objective reality!

thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing it, Joe.

I just wanted to share my experiences.

I started about 4-5 months ago with iodine and had only some minor detox symptoms and only in the first week. I did 6 rounds of DMSA before (only minor detox symptoms as well).

The most important lesson I learned from it is importance of staying balanced. After starting with iodine I noticed almost immediately strong influx of energy and intensifying of all my emotions which I wasn't ready to deal with. My tendency to "do more and now" was intensified to the point that I started to take more time from my sleep. Result? Weakening of immune system and resulting severe cold/flu. I'v never had so stark cold/flu symptoms before.

Now I also think that not attaching too much importance to what we are doing is a good way of staying balanced.

So yes, doing only "one step at a time" to stay balanced and "no anticipation" is the way to go.

Joe, you probably can never imagine how much you have helped me for the last twelve years or so. Along with Laura, Ark, the whole chateau crew, really, you played a huge role for me personally in how my life changed forever because of this network. I hope you find a new balance and continue your great contributions with renewed energy.

Iodine has been great for me with pretty high doses since late November 2015. I did have a few dark moods here and there, and very short-lasting depression like episodes, but overall I'm sleeping much better and have more energy because of it (though the extra big jump in energy from the iodine itself in the first several weeks did lessen some over time).

I also started spinning again for the last couple of weeks (I hadn't done it since around the time EE first came out in summer 2009 - I had started spinning around 2007). I think it must be taking it to a whole new level with iodine - the chakras/endocrine-glandular system connection, I guess.

I'm rereading parts of Secret History 1 recently (I've read it cover to cover around 3 times, but about once a year I reread certain parts - just going over certain chapters, jumping around, etc. - which I do with other works I reread too). In the middle of jumping around Secret History, I reread Fulcanelli's The Mystery of the Cathedrals. Then went back to jumping around Secret History. After the last episode of having some "dark" days, I'm really super-excited about discovering more and more aspects of the mysterious universe.

Hoping for all forum members to be able to carry on through thick and thin; with each others help. With all the suffering and turmoil in this vale of tears, I still think it's very important to keep the sense of adventure alive, and shine what light we can in the (apparently increasing) darkness. To all seekers, I thank you for all I've received, and hope to be able to give back what I've benefited from.

Hi Joe,

Thank you -- for having the courage to state so clearly your present frame of mind. It's always been your mark ... to speak straight from the heart.

Truth is, your recent travails are really not a surprise to me in many ways. I had (for a long time) sensed this "potential." Excessive passion can often lead to that.

You might want to look more closely at this: Siddhartha Gautama's concept of Two Truths. It can put things in much greater perspective as you work your way through. And I predict that when it does become clear to you ... it may strike you like a lightning bolt. (And I'm not kidding.)

In some ways, you have already partially arrived at it, through our own introspection. This I get, from your words. (The conventional truth vs. the ultimate truth.) Rather than agonizing over your previous deep immersion (in the conventional,) see it for the great value that it is.

As Nagarjuna had stated: To get to the ultimate truth ... one needs to rely on the conventional truth. Only thus, can real understanding be achieved.

As you have thoroughly (and painfully) gone through the first, the second may come rather easily for you. So take heart, my friend.

FWIW.

Thank you, Joe, for sharing all of this.

Thanks for the replies guys. As you might have guessed, the purpose I had adopted for a long time was an investment in the idea that what we did WAS important, that the 'fight' had to be engaged with the world 'out there'. Now I'm having to fairly radically redefine or 'downsize' that purpose and reconfigure it on more realistic terms, and the process means feeling a bit anchor-less, so to speak, until I can establish a new (and hopefully more sturdy) one.

Hi Joe,

As far as I am concern, what you did was and is still important but there is no fight with the world out there. Our job is just telling the truth for those who want to hear it and know it and give them the possibility to choose a world in which they fit better.

We don't have to fix the Universe but we can help those who are looking to get out of the Matrix.

fwiw

Thanks Gandalf and Joe

Gandalf, I think your comment above summarises our situation perfectly. Couldn't have said it better.

I agree.

Learning our lessons, finding the truth and sharing it on SOTT, this forum and sites like Facebook, and helping those who sincerely ask is what we are here to do. Also, preparing for what we know is coming so that when those who weren't interested in learning the truth need help, we can provide that help in whatever way is needed.

I, too, have learned very much from you, Joe, both from your articles and the radio show. So thank you for being you.

I wish to make this additional comment if I may:

The concept of Two Truths is in essence the near equivalent of the C's frequent reminder, that:

"All there is is lessons."

The former is more descriptive and lengthy, the latter statement more cryptic. But in the final analysis, they both refer to the same thing. And the C's version I consider more profound, wider in scope, and probably a bit more difficult to fully grasp.

Speaking for myself, the concept of Two Truths has been a useful tool -- in gaining a deeper understanding of the C's concept of "lessons."

But I could be wrong.

FWIW.

 

[T.C.]

Thanks for the update and your thoughts, Joe. FWIW, you've always been an inspiration to me.

And thanks to everyone else for their comments, too. Great thread!

Thank you Joe and all the others for the Statements.

I did not start with Iodine until now but I already have bought a bottle. I have to find the right moment - one step after the other. At the moment I have a lot of other things twirling my old patterns up. Thanks again! Very much! Very helpful!

 

[John G]

For me, finding this forum/SOTT/FOTCM was the best help this incarnation of me could have found and listening to and reading words from you, Joe, has been a huge part of that. Yes it would have been great if much more of the world could have made there way to here by now. One problem for me has been seeing things inside myself that I don't like at all. How could being here make me seem worse and worse to myself? It was reassuring when the Cs mentioned we are being slow cooked in a thousand years of peace kind of way.

I think that applies to the whole planet. Much of the earth changing effects will probably only be fully seen over that rather long time frame. There's probably huge non-linear effects inside and outside of ourselves too even now but we aren't yet non-linear enough beings to overly appreciate those. The research here though is as good as it gets right now. That should be easier to see right now I would think. The human sources referenced here are quite amazing, no otherwordly beliefs required. Unfortunately it seems things will have to get much worse before good information like Iodine dominates the planet and apparently that could take a while in linear terms.

Thanks to Joe, and all the folks who keep this school running. For me, it’s been a lifesaver. Literally.

I’m pushing into my sixties, and there have been times I was ready to give up on this life.
“What’s the point, what’s to be gained?” etc., etc.

In my early thirties, when my whole world fell apart , I had a dream in which I was consulting a very strange-looking fortune-teller. I laid out my dilemmas before her, and the only insight she offered was, “You will be very confused and you won’t know what to do.” Kind of like “No dice--Wait and see.” Hmmph!

A decade or so later, when life had moved me into entirely different & not entirely satisfactory circumstances, I had a dream in which I was in a prison cell and all the walls were polished marble. I was frantically trying to climb the wall—an exercise in futility, and I knew it.

Then, suddenly the slab of marble swung out as if pivoting on a horizontal axis, and I slid headfirst into a whole new series of dream adventures.

What I took from that dream is that sometimes you just have to put in your time climbing the walls. In some way one has no way of knowing, it leads to something.

Even after that very graphic lesson, another decade and a half still later, I was seriously asking myself (and trying to ask people older than myself --no one wanted to acknowledge the question) why I should want to prolong my life into old age.

My aspirations had been shown to be out of place on this planet, as Joe has realized about some of his aspirations. I felt lousy. There was nothing left that called to me. I was almost ready to stop climbing the walls, to curl up in the middle of my cell and give up.

This forum helped me get through that. It showed me things that made me want to know more. I learned things that helped me make sense of the insanity of the world. I learned things that made me feel better, health-wise. The iodine worked its wonders on me. An apparently solid wall yielded again, and I am now looking forward to developments. My life doesn’t look any different to someone looking at me from the outside, but it’s transformed from within.

No one can make anyone else understand that for themselves. We just have to do our time climbing the wall. Something might happen.

You folks helped make something happen for me. You are keeping the school open.

Joe, Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and what you have been going through. I want to reiterate what others have said about your work and how your writings have given us so much insight and information. Your willingness to share the difficulties you have been facing is inspirational as well.

Your articulation of the process has been more helpful than you can know for all us experiencing this gloom. So thank you again for this timely reminder to keep doing what we can every day, not because of the desire to save anyone but because there are still those who are genuinely looking for a ray of hope and some truth; and this Forum and SOTT are one of the very few places those can still be found.

I hope you continue to get better and the depression lifts.

I concur aleana. Thank you so much for all you have done Joe, for sharing your difficulties. You have been a true inspiration and source of knowledge.

 

[ROEL]

Thank you so much, Joe. You have helped recalibrate my focus on what's important about being here and these lessons we have to learn. Iodine as a means to make it a tad easier is also very welcome among the array of tools that we get from FOTCM. Warm regards.

 

[Phill4]

Thank you a ton Joe for your words! I can't agree more that this time is very strange that coincidentally and collectively many of us are following the protocol and experiencing what we are..

I started the protocol after I came back from a trip,

4 drops and inmediatelly felt improvement on a health problem I have, sleep, and energy, i drank a coffee that day and oh boy! i felt that coffee, i felt the energy spike,

I didn't feel the negative impact of the Iodine, up until i hit 10 drops 2% that i had a mayor outbreak and crippling tiredness and muscle aches, even depression, bad feelings of depression. but it felt somehow different than other times. I regained a lot of "perception" if that makes sense.

for me, it is like the baseline for working through many programs I'm dealing with, i hadn't been able to recall dreams for almost two years yet my dreams have slowly returned and it hits your hidden emotions, mental clarity. Iodine actively "moves things around" but also boosts you

as far as energy i still feel tired and take two naps a day sometimes. I am back on 10 drops and no mayor disturbances, it helps me keep moving forward.

Hi Joe,

A warm thank you for sharing this from me too. As others have said, you are an inspiration to many of us, including me. The kind of endurance you and others exemplify is truly something to strive for. Yet, I guess it comes at a price for you, quite understandably, and while this is depressing, from what I understand it seems that this crisis opened many new doors for you.

I hear you on this one:

As part of the process I've understood more clearly the extent to which fear directed my life, my actions and decisions. For as long as I can remember I had the 'belief' that life was a threatening place and I had to be 'on guard' all the time to ward off the inevitable bad stuff that was just waiting to pounce on me. I suppose it's not a coincidence then that a lot of the emotions I've been experiencing have been fear-based in nature.

That's something I'm struggling with a lot - I'm afraid of so many things, and this fear often stops me in my tracks; I'm afraid of being attacked, afraid of 'getting out there', afraid to take a stand, even afraid of becoming successful. It's funny, in the past I always thought you guys are way past such thought-loops, but it seems it's not uncommon, that it is here to stay, and that 'the only way to it is through it', i.e. that we must constantly work on these things, acknowledge these fears, and to an extend learn to live with them.

I'm currently reading "Inviting a Monkey to Tea...", which really strikes a chord with me. I like the author's approach to befriend your monkey mind instead of battling it, a fight that we cannot win anyway I think. It's like, 'Oh, it's you again, welcome irrational fear! Ah, making me shake? Come one... Okay, do your thing already, I know that after a while, you will have enough...'

This is where I'm at currently, I try to learn to just live with this rollercoaster that is life with our little I's, the monkey mind. I try to just live through the episodes of fear, uncertainty, doubts, second-guessing myself and so on, and try to do what's in front of me anyway. Or use some strategies to help me endure them, like exercise, doing house work, change the setting, or if it's really bad, press myself to do one very small thing that requires some-willpower, and call it a day...

Fwiw. Thanks again Joe for sharing this.
