New Crutches, Walt?

Posted by

Hey there Walt,

I've been reading your CODEX info with some interests. My question is:if CODEX infiltrates
into the US and vitamins basically go the way of the dodo, will electronic and/or subtle energy devices
become the new "crutches" of choice for self-medicators?

This comes uncomfortably close to the whole literal construction of reality by the mind...

Speaking of which, something has been bugging me ever since I read it. It's about LGS.
If the lining of the guts regenerates every 14 days, then at most it should take 28 days to
"cure" yourself of LGS, even if you don't know where in that regeneration cycle you
are. Unless you are regenerating the lining with flaws. You follow the protocol for 28 days, and conceivably, the lining and the support system "resets"
and end of LGS...right? Not right. You're gonna say I'm missing something. OK Walt. What AM I missing?

Lightwalking,
Gregory



Stored stress effect...

that's your missing link.

The lining would replace itself properly in a person who isn't full of chronic stress effect.

The hypothalamus has to be working properly, no bracing, etc. etc.

That's why the 6 months to a year - to discharge the FOF effects that you've been carrying around in your tightly braced, blood starved body!

Thanks, very interesting question & answer ... nmi

Fight or Flight: The Evolution of Stress

If your audience needs a primer on stress you can present this "parable" about the fight or flight response to open your presentation. Imagine you are a caveman out innocently picking berries when suddenly you come nose to nose with a saber-tooth tiger. While you were simply gathering, the tiger was actually hunting, and the sight of you makes his mouth water. Luckily for you, millions of years of evolution has endowed you with a set of automatic weapons that take over in the event of an emergency. At the sight of the tiger, your hypothalamus sends a message to your adrenal glands and within seconds, you can run faster, hit harder, see better, hear more acutely, think faster, and jump higher than you could only seconds earlier. Your heart is pumping at two to three times the normal speed, sending nutrient rich blood to the major muscles in your arms and legs. The tiny blood vessels (called capillaries) under the surface of your skin close down (which consequently sends your blood pressure soaring) so you can sustain a surface wound and not bleed to death. Even your eyes dilate so you can see better.

All functions of your body not needed for the struggle about to commence are shut down. Digestion stops, sexual function stops, even your immune system is temporarily turned off. If necessary, excess waste is eliminated to make you light on your feet. Your suddenly supercharged body is designed to help level the odds between you and your attacker. Consequently, you narrowly escape death by leaping higher and running faster than you ever could before. With the danger now over, you find a safe place to lie down and rest your exhausted body.

FLASH FORWARD to the present day. Despite the huge amount of technological change in the ensuing 25,000 years, you are walking around with essentially the same set of internal body parts as that of the caveman. At this very moment you're in the break room at work, hunting for coffee and gathering donuts. Your boss is out hunting too. But guess what? He's hunting for you. As you gulp down your third cup of Java you hear your boss say those dreaded words: "Could I see you for a moment in my office, please?" At the sight of the tiger, er, uh...your boss...your hypothalamus sends a message to your adrenal glands and within seconds your
body summons all the same powers that your stone-age ancestor needed to fight a saber
tooth tiger. You can almost feel your blood pressure soar as you take the long walk down the hall to your boss's office. You remember a rumor you heard about an upcoming round of layoffs. Now your mind is racing, your heart is pumping, your blood pressure is soaring, your mouth dries up, your hands feel cold and clammy, your forehead is perspiring and you may even feel a sudden urge to go (to the bathroom). As you imagine your boss firing you, the caveman inside of you wants to come out. Maybe you'd like to run and hide or maybe you'd like to punch your boss in the nose, but you can't do either. Welcome to the modern era.

As your boss ushers you into his office and closes the door, you're experiencing a full-blown episode of the fight or flight response. But since you can't fight and you can't flee, all of that energy is pent-up inside of you with no place to go. You feel like you're going to explode. Your boss begins to speak. "Here it comes," you think to yourself. But you're so shocked by what you hear you can't believe you heard it right. "What did you say?" you ask your boss. "We are considering you for a promotion," he repeats. (Every time your body triggers the fight or flight response, for situations that are not truly life-threatening, you are experiencing, in effect, a false alarm. Too many false
alarms can lead to stress-related disorders like, heart disease, high blood pressure,
immune system disorders, migraine headaches, insomnia and sexual dysfunction.
The above example from the modern era was doubly false since the fight or flight
response was in anticipation of an event (getting fired) that never materialized.)

Thanks, Gregory.

The PTB have already done their best to outlaw any electromagnetic healing devices.

What you are missing is that it normally takes 6-12 months to discharge the stress-effect storage in the hypothalamus sufficiently to return the normal blood supply to the gut.

What if a person has done this all their life? I have had a very stressful life, started as a little kid. When something happened I would either freeze up(When circustances were beyond my control-car wreck etc.) Or if I got mad I coulden't control what I was doing. People tell me I am too passive because I can not show emotions I keep them hidden inside. But what other people don't realize is I was taught not to show any emotion. But down inside I am very emotional. I get upset but will never say nothing. My question is, How long will it take to work out stress that has probably been there my whole life. My life as a child still controls me today I still react the same way( some one has a car accident It literally feels like my heart drops into the bottom of my stomach I will feel this heaviness for about three days or more.

Walt,

I think another good question is how do we control these emotions. I sometimes find them overwhelming and uncomfortable in my body, like they have a mind of their own. Any ideas??? I would like to be the one in the drivers seat not the other way around. Some people seem better at controlling emotions than others.

Hi, Stressed.

Start with the article about stress on the homepage and then read either Selye's or Pelletier's book. Then let us know what you learned and we can go from there.

Walt
