It Isn’t a Conspiracy, It's an Avalanche

Innocence

Not Everything is a Conspiracy, but there are enough to make us cynical.

Not a good way to live.

Pharmaceutical companies want to make money. Stockholders want to make money. Sales people want to make money. Doctors want to make money. Insurance companies want to make money.

It isn’t a #conspiracy, it's an avalanche.

Let’s use doctors for example.

Most doctors are well meaning.

And then we add prescribed drugs into the mix. Doctors get their information regarding medicines from sales people.

Most sales people are well meaning.

Sales people want their commission. Their job is to sell. They want to please the company and the stockholders. They want to make a living.

They tell the doctors the benefits of a particular drug, the doctor sees the benefit, thus he prescribes it.

“My doctor has me on it,” I hear someone say and I want to scream. “No, you have yourself on it. Your doctor offered it. You took it.”

 Notice what you are putting in your mouth.

It’s the problem with the big industrial age. Things get out of hand.

Be diligent. 

Take care of yourself.

I think back to some of the spiritual practices of old. Many disciplines have said that thoughts create. Many have said that our attitude influences our behavior and the outcome. Meditation clears the brain, lowers blood pressure, centers people. Prayer is talking to a higher power. All these things have been in our culture, but they, like the potions we call medicines, became ritualized. Beliefs about them became so strongly held they became a religion or a superstition. 
Some became suspect, some went underground, or were fought over because they were controversial, and thus many lost their power.

I had a colonoscopy once. I had to sign a form and the bottom line stated that death could be a result.

I said to the doctor, “I normally don’t sign forms that have death as a possibility.”

He said, “You could get run over by a bus too.”

I wanted to say, “That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard of,” but I didn’t. To antagonize someone about to perform a procedure on me didn’t seem like a good idea.

Instead, I said, ”But I don’t stand in the middle of the road when I see a bus barreling down on me.

Bold Statement

In my bold statement above I realize I have not addressed some of the points in my description. It sounds like a hodgepodge.

It is.

I know I break all the rules of focus, of having a brand, and of aiming for the big traffic. Not that I wouldn’t like to have people read the words I slave over, (kidding, I do it because I want to). It’s just that I suck at #marketing.

I have not addressed that you ought to believe in this life, but I think it’s foolish not to.

I believe our life has a purpose, and I believe in #Free Will, and that some souls come in with a blueprint, while others make it up as they go along.

I believe that the earth needs souls like you to bring in the light. I believe those with a high consciousness raise the entire consciousness of the planet, and I want to band with those people.

  

I think that many have lost heart. They think the world is screwy, that the government is corrupt,  that #pharmaceutical companies lie to us, and that most ads, including #elections, manipulate us.

That may all be true, but listen, folks, remember what John F. Kennedy said, "The problems were made by man, and therefore can be solved by man."

Soup box for the day, and yep, I think there is life beyond this world too.
