Retaining the Blessing of "Thanksgiving"
The Attitude of Gratitude - From Simple to Profound

by Christopher Rudy

So many blessings that we take for granted.  Simple things we forget and profound things that rarely occur to us.

I'm grateful there is at least one day each year when we focus on the attitude of gratitude.  It's the same gratitude in the on-going prayer that always begins with gratitude for the power of love  -- a God of Love -- that is as present as "I Am". To be fully present in that spirit of BEING -- to BE IN God "I Am" -- is as simple as the authentic Presence of Love in an attitude of gratitude.  And it is as profound as the full implications of BEING the change we want to see in the world.  Without the power of divine love, we're all victims of perverse dictum.

"Whenever I groan within myself and think how hard it is to keep writing about love in these times of tension and strife which may, at any moment, become for us all a time of terror, I think to myself: What else is the world interested in? What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships? God is Love. Love casts out fear. Even the most ardent revolutionist, seeking to change the world, to overturn the tables of the money changers, is trying to make a world where it is easier for people to love, to stand in that relationship to each other." - Dorothy Day

A good holistic doctor requires a certain clinical detachment from the patient, but I'm part of humanity too.  It's difficult to be objective or otherwise effective when subjectively identified with the patient.  Identification with all the sick pathologies of civilization as "normal" is counterproductive to healing those pathologies.  A certain detachment is required, especially when we look at this patient "globally" - the body of humanity.

This is a tough case.  Humanity is afflicted by psychopaths who blame the victim for challenging the abuse.   How do I honestly deal with the victim's terror of more abuse?  How do I move the victim from escapist denial that this abuse is destroying the health of one's own humanity?  How do you treat victim dictum that would rather suffer abuse than choose greater love? To take responsibility for this patient requires a comprehensive analysis of the cause and cure -- a hopeful protocol for a good prognosis -- or I'm just another victim.

"Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals [psychopaths] are still in charge of this country. Somehow this is tolerated. Somehow nobody is accountable for this. In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people.  So don't be shocked when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world and to humanity.  Most likely, they will come to know that "somehow" was nurtured by fear, insecurity and indifference, leaving the country vulnerable to unchecked, unchallenged parasites. - Kevin Tillman, Brother of Pat Tillman, killed in Iraq

It's always a test -- to be in the world but not of the world.  Divine Love knows the difference. This is the holistic perspective common to the words "whole", "health" and "holy" -- all with the same word derivative that references whole health in relation to holy spirit.  All indigenous people had their holy men who were also healers.  To separate spiritual health from mental health and physical health is the beginning of pathology in one's whole  health.

The dominant system of allopathic "disease treatment" has lost that -- the link between "whole" (holistic) health and the attitude of gratitude as an expression of holy spirit.  Without a healthy holy spirit, profiting from disease with toxic disease-compounding drugs takes priority to building health with natural holistic modalities.  The chemistry of disease trumps the energies of health.  Quantum reality -- the healing energies of holy spirit -- are denied a central role in the healing process.

This backwards "health care" system has become so pathological it is 97.5% disease care.  The bottom line is profit in corporate disease care and there's no money incentives for building health to prevent disease.  The medical-industrial complex is about as huge as the military-industrial complex.  Divorced from the holy spirit, both subscribe to their corporate charters that put profits before people.  Both are virtually "making a killing" on not just the treatment of disease and war, but also their creation and management via government-sanctioned suppression of holistic modalities and peace movements.  Endless war and engineered diseases are the antithesis of the holy spirit -- virtually Satanic.  The spirit behind their profiteering is "evil" -- a malefic "energy veil" that replaces the holy spirit with an unholy one.  It virtually casts a spell on humanity that destroys the fabric of civility like a systemic disease.  War and disease for profit are like a Satanic rite that sacrifices life on an altar of death.

There's no REAL Love in those sick institutions -- only the love of money and power that is enmity with a divine BEING of REAL Love.  America was born out of gratitude for that spirit.  It was great because it was good -- a melting pot of people worldwide who cherished religious freedom and extolled the virtue of REAL Love.  U.S. Founders saw it as the gathering of the tribes of all that IS REAL for God government.

Self-governance doesn't work well without the divine love of all that IS REAL.  Not as a place but a space between our ears.  That's why unreality  -- the disease of the spirit that lacks love -- must be maintained by psychopathic public institutions that victimize the populace with the prevailing insanity of endless war and disease for profit and power.

Holistic healing of this systemic corruption of corporate-government collusion will naturally follow a resurrection of "common sense" (holy spirit) in the hearts and minds of humanity.  Basic naturally healing protocols are the same for civilization as the individual.  Rather than "worth-ship" (value) the bottom line of profiteering on disease and war, it worships the "top line" (highest good).  Without the greater spirit of Love-in-action, apathy and indifference hardens the heart and makes dimwits out of otherwise intelligent people.  By default of virtue, the soul matrix of humanity is preyed upon by power-mad psychopaths whose atheistic love of power is parasitic -- like a cancer -- to the "power of love" (true religion) in the body of humanity.

Any authentic holistic practitioner takes if "from the top" -- the spirit that matters.  The soul matrix of self and civilization is a natural function of quantum laws of energy manifestation from spirit to matter. There is a Divine Order to the universe and all Creation.  There is a spirit of Divine Love at the heart of Divine Order.  Raising the bar of healing to the "top line" requires the holy spirit of discernment to see the patient's spiritual dis-ease behind the mental dis-ease that blocks healing of the emotional dis-ease that is so closely linked to physical disease.  That's also what a metaphysician does when healing the body as a "temple for the healthy-holy spirit" on a "meta" (civilization) level.  Same process from top-to-bottom... with healthy gratitude at the heart of it.

This is not always easy for a sick patient to see.  It's even more difficult to explain to civilization at large.  I've had many experiences with clients who healed their own diseases when they applied common sense natural remedies -- nutrition, holistic therapy, lifestyle, etc.  But I have also experienced the resentment and revenge of patients, their partners, or medical authorities who were so strongly identified with their disease -- or their pride that they knew better, or their Belief System that conventional medicine treatment was better -- that they tried to put me out of business.

I don't blame them.  Corrupt institutions make people sick, spiritually, mentally and physically.  People adapt to lower levels of resistance to this dis-ease yet consider themselves "healthy" because their nose isn't running or they are not in physical pain.  But the victims' pain in the soul is systemic with spiritual disconnect, mental dise-ease and weak immune systems considered "normal".  The nature of this pathology is denial of responsibility with resentment that makes holistic healing modalities wrong to make its "normal" state right.  It makes holistic health an "alternative" method equated with quacks and charlatans.  It rewards incompetence and punishes competence. 

When I was young with a family, I got tired of moving and starting another holistic health center in response to the professional jealousy of medical doctors who lost patients to my practice.  Typically, those clients would spread the word that this was the future of health care, but this deeply offended the high priests of medicine with their drug sacraments for "community standard medicine".  I knew many holistic practitioners -- the really good ones -- who were sent to jail on trumped-up charges.  The better I got at it, the more risk and opposition I faced. So I went on to other business vocations while increasingly focusing on the cause and treatment of the larger disease afflicting our institutions and civilization at large.

I don't learn fast but I learn good.  Many intelligent people worldwide know that it is the responsibility of public government to legislate for the good of all.  But private corporations have a legal obligation to their shareholders.  And with the highest levels of government in collusion with Big Pharma sponsorship of legislation protecting their profits, holistic healing of the sick system is suppressed. 

With the same incestuous corruption behind a government protection racket for the giant corporate war profiteers, we see the Iraq quagmire lasting longer than World War II.  With utter devastation of Iraq, the only exist strategy appears to be plans to attack Iran with an instant-replay of the same bogus Iraq war justifications.  The words of James Madison -- Chief Architect of the Constitution -- should serve as warning.

Disease and war are big business whose interest is more business.  The corrupt economic system runs this "bottom line" (scarcity economics) based on the oxymoronic value of scarcity.  It gives value -- more money and power -- to the scarcity of health and peace. Increasing levels of degenerative disease and insensate killing of people and our environmental support systems are the pathological fruit of this sick system.

But how do you tell patient humanity so they will comply with a natural-holistic healing process?

The answer to that question -- for our institutions and civilization at large -- requires a level of common sense that is uncommon.  The patient is sick with a lack of common sense.  Common sense spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically:

Spiritually it is a lack of love for oneself -- one's own spiritual BEING (BE IN God-love).  That's the attitude of gratitude for divine order and harmony that blesses one's own BEING with the power of greater Love for wholeness and healing.  Without that spiritual power and discernment characterizing great Love, we give up the greatest power we have as a free-will choice.  That's when we become victim of the dictum that we are powerless to own our own life force. That's when a patient believes that the disease owns them with a disconnect from any real responsibility for owning and controlling the disease.  They see themselves as victims without choice.  And they surrender their God-given sovereignty -- free will choice to own their own life -- to authorities in sick institutions that are bound by corporate law to make a killing on disease and war.  Without common sense vision regarding this covert death wish cultured by sick institutions, the death cult rules; the people perish.  The best antidote to this atheistic love of money and power is the power of love at the heart of all true religion.

.

Mentally, the sick patient's pathological disconnect spiritually manifests as "logical" rationalizations and justifications for doing what they have always done while expecting different results -- a good definition for insanity.  That's what the victims of psychopaths do.  They watch the boob-tube and absorb the subliminal messages that toxic disease-compounding drugs are the solution for whatever ails you... and that more war is the solution to the last disastrous war.  And while they deny they are victims of a sick system to control their mind, they act like boobs taking drugs for whatever ails them and supporting more war for insane reasons.  They dismiss the discomforting fact that the mainstream media is owned by war contractors and disease profiteers because they want to be entertained.  The really sick ones escape to TV "entertainment" as an addiction -- or TV "news" as though it were unbiased -- and lose their common sense entirely.  They go along with government "Intelligence" that is framed to fit ideological insanity. This collective mental disease adopts the psychology of subservience to tyranny.  The patient takes great pride in ideologies of power and control over everyone but ourselves.   Domestic freedom is sacrificed for foreign affairs.  Politicians lie and people die; nations are destroyed in the name of "nation building".  Chaos leads to civil war that the psychopaths can't admit they have caused. Yet the victimized patient loses their right mind in codependence on the psychopaths for salvation.

.

Emotionally, this pathology is seated in deep fears. Fear as the sense of separation from faith -- the power of love -- not knowing what to believe.  Fear that one's beliefs are wrong -- that the institutions and authorities we believed in have betrayed us.  Fear that results when our once trusted institutions tell us we should be very, very afraid and surrender more of our power and life force to the medical, military and media war profiteers.  This unspeakable and unthinkable fear paralyzes love with the "Patty Hearst Syndrome" -- bonding with the victimizers out of trauma-induced self-preservation instincts.  Mind-numbing terror that subverts common sense.  Collectively, this patient suffers endless terror, trauma and imperil that is manufactured by the psychopaths for power and control over the victim.  Emotional tyranny is maintained for one purpose: to scare the bejesus out of the populace and thereby fulfill the victimizer's genocidal agenda at the "geopolitical nexus" (Mid-East)... to leverage global war for totalitarian hegemony. In short, to completely terrorize the world into submission to an expanded agenda of population control. This is the real agenda of the endless "War on Terror".  The patient feels hopeless and powerless to heal the sense of DUH! -- Dummies Unconscious and Heartless.  Faithless fear eclipses fearless love as the pathology progresses.

.

Physically, this pathology becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that destroys civilization in the name of saving it.  Same insanity we saw in Vietnam where whole villages were destroyed "to save the village".  Same insanity in Iraq with whole cities destroyed and 6 million civilians either killed or displaced.  Same insanity in the obliteration of much of Lebanon with U.S.-made bombers and helicopter gunships - a million people refugeed.  The insanity becomes so prevalent that the same war profiteers behind it are setting up war with Iran with the same hubris, lies and media propaganda that led to the Iraq attack.  The health of all our core institutions becomes afflicted by this systemic dis-ease of greed and corruption, cooking the books that would show any accountability or responsibility. Cradle-to-grave consumption of brain-damaging vaccines, foodless "food" (nutrition-stripped and chemical-laced) and toxic symptom-treating drugs have made many people so sick and tired of being sick and tired that they are too sick and tired to see the problem, much less have the life force of a healthy-holy spirit to do much about it. That pathological system is on a self-destruct course.  It is killing the patient like a malignant cancer in the body of mankind.  Common sense becomes increasingly uncommon.  Blind psychopaths lead blind victims who both resent being told they are responsible for the sick pathology of encroaching tyranny.

The cure for this systemic disease in the soul of humanity requires "alternative medicine" with holistic healing protocols. Details at www.heartcom.org/Legacy1.htm .  It requires a resurrected love of the Constitution that honors the Constitution of Universal LOVE.  And it will begin in earnest when Net neutrality recognizes this LOVE-centric standard for "cyberethics" (cultural DNA) that will begin to qualify, magnify and otherwise heal the networked intelligence culturing our conscience and "comm~unity" (with unity). 

Heaven knows it is the power of love in the Family of Man that will bring light to dark places and seal the door where power-mad insanity subverts practical spirituality.

I hope you are grateful for this call to BEING.  If so, please contribute with the attitude of gratitude.  Pay it forward - the spirit of "Thanksgiving".  Network for the Net worth of the LOVE Network.  BEING is what the Great Spirit DOES.

All Ways Love... ALWAYS,
