Eastern Medicine:  Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine

I am not a Chinese Medicine Practitioner nor a Ayurvedic Doctor.  But I have studied both of these subjects extensively, and philosophically, I "work" the same way they do.  There are a number of great web sites that deal with these subjects, and so we won't do that here.  The purpose of this page is to point out certain principals that these ancients understood about the "oneness" of people and the energy-mass connection, that have been forgotten over the years.

There are many people who think the Eastern Medicines are all wonderful, and that Western Medicine is all bad.  I am PRO doctor, PRO Western Medicine, PRO prescription medicine, etc.  Remember, when Eastern Medicine was the only thing going, life expectancy was 40 years.  Western Medicine Medicine is doing something right! The fact that there exists a competitive attitude between these two modalities demonstrates the immaturity of both of them. 

Monism vs. Dualism

Western Medicine, and Western Philosophy in general, has the concept of "Dualism" as one of it's basic underlying  principals.  This philosophy is pretty simple.  It states that your finger is different than your toe.  Your head is different than your foot.  Fair enough.  Makes sense.  The Chinese, the Indians, and I disagree.

You are one self.  Body, soul, spirit, emotion, intellect, ego, id . . . you can slice the parts any way you want.  Ultimately you are the one and only you.  In fact, ultimately, we are collectively just one self, but for the sake of this discussion I won't go there.

If you hurt your finger, your doctor will not look at you past your knuckle.  He'll say, "If the problem is your finger, let's just look at your finger!".  The sages, the rishis (the ancient Indian Wise People), the ancients, and I say, "The problem is your SELF.  Let's look at your self."  According to this view, there is no such thing as physical health in the absence of mental, spiritual, emotional health.  The concept of hauling your physical body to the body mechanic, your emotional body to the "shrink", your spirit to the preacher is bizarre. 

Go to church, go to the doctor, go get therapy.  But don't believe any of them if they try to tell you what they are "selling" works in a vacuum.

The more you integrate or unify, the healthier you become.  The more you realize viscerally that you are only only one part personally, and a part of a greater whole collectively, the more you become complete, vibrant and alive.  The more you dis-integrate and "split" (Think of phrases like "my mind tells me no but my heart tells me yes", "I'll regret this later", and " "I know better, but . . ." )  The more you set yourself up for pathology.

But there is another paradox.  To be healthy, you must integrate, but you must also disassociate.  These words are not opposites, even though they seem so at first glance.  As soon as you realize that your head is the same as your foot, you then begin to realize that, ultimately, you are not this body; you are not this mind.  Below that is a more fundamental and permanent essence.  I'm getting a little bit esoteric, so I won't go into this any deeper.  The "take home lesson" is that while you are one integrated unit, your body and mind are to you, something like the wave is to the ocean.  The wave rises and falls, appears and disappears, but is essentially not a wave at all - it is ocean.

Mass = Energy

Seven thousand years ago, sages and wise people understood that there is no difference between mass and energy.  However, by the time of Christ, this was essentially regarded as witchcraft.  In the 19th century, you would have been written off as a nut for saying that mass and energy were the same thing.

Then this fellow named Einstein came along . . . and proved it.  It shook the very foundations of our understanding of the universe.  Einstein effectively invalidated most of the work of Isaac Newton, who  laid out the laws of the universe in the 16th century.  Einstein, by the way, was a poor to average student who didn't make good grades because he questioned everything. 

Energy always moves mass.  Ask anyone who has ever seen a bomb go off.  Watch video of a tornado.  When the energy cuts loose, moving the mass is nothing.  Einstein's dilemma was harnessing this energy so that it could be used not just to blow stuff up, but to create some order out of chaos.  

This introduces the topic of the second law of thermodynamics, which is concerned with a concept called "entropy".  Entropy means that together things fall apart, but apart things don't fall together.  Imagine dropping a glass.  You get lots of broken pieces.  Imagine dropping a lot of broken pieces.  You never get a glass. 

So now we know that mass = energy.  So what's the problem?  Einstein died at a point where the destructive uses of his work outweighed the positive uses.  This is because even given a brand new way of looking at things, people viewed them with the same old eyes.  Old habits die hard.  The medical profession is largely based on Newtonian physics, and you still get Newtonian answers to the problem.  If this were the case in other walks of life, we'd still be reading by candle light.  Even though modern medical instrumentation (i.e. MRI, PET) is based upon Einstein physics, the conclusions drawn are placed into a Newton model.   The work that we will do connects to the energy that Einstein "discovered" and that the ancients, the Ayurvedic doctors, and the Chinese doctors understood but could not master.  

So the more we go forward, the more we go back.  Some would have you believe that the work I do is a 7000 year throwback.  I believe that the information above shows this work to be ahead of it's time, not behind it.  But really, none of that is important.  What's important is that if you are sick, I can make you healthy.  If you are healthy, I can make you more healthy. 

Energy Healing Page Three, when I ever get it complete,  will discuss how you are mostly holes and empty space, and how each cell of your body contains the same "memory" ingredients as your brain.
