What’s Bravery?
Have you ever found it weird how newspapers, especially in obituaries, when describing someone who has died of a disease that there is often-times a mention of how ‘brave’ the person was?
They might say something like, “She fought bravely but succumbed to her cancer last Friday.” Or maybe, “Uncle Joe lost his battle with heart disease after a courageous fight.” It has always sat weird with me (along with dealing with banks and government). Something feels askew about it.
Then about nine years ago, in 2017, I was unwell again, despite pulling out of the dark zone of Lyme disease and nanoparticle and heavy metal toxicity in 2014. At that time, I told my sister, “If I die from this, don’t write or let anyone write in my obituary, or anywhere else, that I was courageous or that I fought bravely before I died. I think it’s stupid.”
I mean no offence to anyone whose family member has been described that way. It’s is just a personal sentiment I have toward this lingo because I have to wonder, where did that come from? How and why did it start?
I’ll get to that in just a moment.
While we were talking about it, I told my sister that, looking back, I wasn’t sure if I was going to live through my illness in 2014. She said to me, “That must of have been scary.”
But it wasn’t, actually, and it did not take courage. It was just tiring and sometimes very frustrating. You do what you have to do and make it to the next hour… kind of like packing and cleaning your house for moving. The feat seems so big and you might cry if you succumb to how gigantic the task is, but you don’t. You tell yourself that you can’t get bogged down by it. You just focus on the details and get ‘er done.
Back to that Lingo…
Here’s another question for you.
In what other scenario are people described as brave, courageous, and died fighting?
Yep, war.
War and the soldiers (soul-die-rs) who fight in them are glorified. Indeed, they are brave to go to war – I imagine it’s scary as hell, and I think I’d need more courage to do that than to fight off a disease.
I also understand believing in the cause of war – I was fighting the Covid-war when our so-called leaders imposed draconian rules on society in 2020, not with guns, thank God, but in other ways (letter-writing, attending protests, defying the draconian mask and distancing rules).
So, it’s not the regular people and their personal reasons for participating in a war that I’m talking about for the moment (however, we could go into how many people, the order followers, perpetuate the goals of war, but not today).
What I’m talking about here is the socially pushed and accepted idea that it’s noble to have a disease, fight to stay alive, and then often die from it anyway.
Too Many Sick People
Back in 2017 again, while I was still struggling with my health, I was learning how many regular people had chronic health problems, too. It wasn’t just me. It seemed like every second person I chatted with had something wrong with them.
That’s when it dawned on me that this was not normal.
Then there are movies that often tell the story of someone who is ill with a terminal disease (two examples I can think of off the top of my head are Sweet November and Bucket List).
Some, not all of course, show the main character as more noble, kinder, or more generous as a result of their disease. It’s true sometimes that going through a serious illness or injury can humble a person for a while, and I can say from experience that it can change them. My illness was the catalyst to my awakening to the world around me – it helped me see beyond all the lies and illusion, little by little.
What I’m getting at, though, is the conditioning that we’re exposed to that tells us that, first, it’s normal to be sickly. It is not. Every second person should not have some chronic thing wrong with them.
Secondly, portraying someone as brave and noble for trying to survive a disease, to me, is silly. Like I said above, you just deal with it, so to me it sounds like conditioning.
The message is, I will be loved or admired more if I am sick. Having an illness brings me the attention that I crave.
This can grab ahold of many people nowadays because many people want more love and more attention, and with isolation in society at a high right now, subconsciously the mind latches onto the idea that being sick will bring more love.
Heck, many of us got better treatment as kids when we were sick, right?
You got to stay home from school, maybe lie on the couch or in the parents’ room and watch movies, people in your family or the teachers at school (when you returned) showed more concern.
Nowadays, post-Covid psyop, I imagine it’s even stronger. But even if you didn’t fall for the Covid lie, you’ve been exposed to years – decades – of programming.
The Physical & the Subtle
When I recovered from Lyme, heavy metals, and nanoparticle poisoning, I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was recovering with both a very tangible, physical solution and a psychological/spiritual solution.
The physical: detoxing the above mentioned infections using the anti-nano process and chelation, and removing myself from electrosmog.
The psychological/spiritual: i.e. mind-body practices, deep introspection, meditation.
At first it didn’t seem to be about being sick to get more love, but over the years as I’ve reflected on my journey, I discovered that that was an important element in the cause of my disease. It didn’t explain the whole picture, but it was a piece of the puzzle.
Can someone recover just by addressing the psychological/spiritual/subtle cause?
Of course they can.
Does everyone?
Of course not.
I believe that the physical causes and the psych/spirit/subtle causes often need to be dealt with at the same time, especially if going at it from one angle alone has not worked for you so far.
So Are You Doomed Forever and Ever?
No, silly, you’re not.
However, if you’re still sickly, ask yourself, Is there something deeper going on?
Maybe you already know what it is but you don’t know how to get under that subconscious programming.
With programming, there is deprogramming and reprogramming.
That’s the great news.
If you feel like something is ‘wrong’ with you, that your programming is keeping you sick, poor, or in unsatisfying relationships, you can reprogram your subconscious in the other direction.
I can help you tease it out.
