Wake up in 2009

Most people have areas in their lives where they are sleepwalking.  They are not fully conscious, hence they are susceptible to the hypnotic trends of society and other external influences that are not necessarily in the individual’s best interest.  Only when we are truly awake can we be cognitively clear enough to make choices that are best for not only ourselves and our families, but also the planet.
 
A good place to begin in awakening is in regards to our health.  When you look at what you value most in your life, health may not be at the top of your list.  It wasn’t on mine either.  However, if you start to lose it (as I did), you soon realize that without it you can’t tend to the important things in your life.  People don’t usually want their health back to achieve more material things, they want to pick up their grandchildren again, or to have one more dance with their partner.  Health is the vehicle that makes all else possible, consequently it needs at least the same attention you give your car or your pets.
 
In our awakened state we prevent ourselves from becoming a victim of the "Tyranny of Trends", as Dr. Beckwith puts it.  You will make choices based on independent thought and research with common sense as your guide.  To flow with what is popular is not important.
 
It has been shown that most people will follow authority without question.  This is interesting because in health care, most of the authorities are self proclaimed.  They just told people long enough that they were the experts and eventually people believed them.  Most health related associations are corporate fronts with an agenda that puts profits before people.  These are the same ones that used to tell us that smoking was actually good for us ("more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette"), that infant formula was healthier than mothers’ milk, that arthritics should take 50 aspirin a day, that hydrogenated fats were good as long as there was no cholesterol in the food, that dumping a poison in our water is good for us, that toxic drugs are the only way to health and happiness and what they tell you is scientific and anything contrary or natural is dangerous and unscientific.
 
Join me this year in resisting the malicious programming, to focus on making a difference, starting with ourselves and our families, and then to helping others in need.  As you become healthier, you will have more energy and motivation to expand your influence.  That is a good thing for everyone.
 
May this be your best year ever.
