“I’m not sure if you know this about me but I try to avoid watching or reading the news as much as possible. I don’t want to give focus to that which I don’t want.

“But lately I’ve felt like I haven’t been able to escape it… it’s been right in my face.

“… Negative comment after negative comment… it’s depressing!

“But the part that really disgusts me is how the media always seem to sensationalize an unfortunate situation.

“Especially in these tough economic times I don’t think it helps the way they constantly bombard us with negative hype.”

If you’re on this person’s list, you’ll know who we’re talking about; but it really doesn’t matter WHO it is, because this is such a popular stance in the spiritual-personal growth arena.

Self-help teachers, motivational speakers, and personal development authors all spout the same mind-numbed rose-colored-glasses message repeatedly (more often, it seems, than TV runs commercials, product endorsements and marketing messages): “Avoid the news like a plague, because it’s all bad stuff!”

Yikes… what a negative and limiting way to look at the world: assuming that everything you’re going to see on the news is going to be something bad. And even more so, how sad and severely counter-productive to put out the weak-willed intention that you won’t be able to handle it!

“Ooh, I can’t watch anything negative… otherwise it will make me think and do negative things that will really screw my life up!” members of the anti-news brigade say, quaking in their boots as a friend or family member dares to turn on the TV at 6:00 or 11:00 p.m., when the daily local news is being shown.

- Cont’d -

“Aaah!!! Not the news!” they cry out, shrinking like the Wicked Witch of the West after a bucket of water’s been thrown on her. (See our post here too about The Good Witch of the North).

“They’re telling me about a fire… that’s bad! Oh no, a fender bender… I don’t want to know that there’s ice on the roads, because then I’ll focus on getting in an accident! Arghh, a product recall! I don’t want to know that anything I may have purchased might be defective!  Oh no, interest rates are up and so is unemployment?  How can this be???  I’m melting… I’m withering away!… I’m becoming — ackk! — NEGATIVE!!! It’s DISGUSTING!”

We like to call these people News Hermits.

You know how a hermit hides away from the world? Well, News Hermits hide away from the news.

They can’t deal with the fact that somebody somewhere in the world — maybe in their own community — might have temporarily been the victim of something or other. And by avoiding hearing about it, they become victims themselves… victims of the media. Victims of the news. And victims long term, unlike the people on the news.

By becoming disgusted with what they see, hear or read, they puke their power away.

They’re essentially saying, “I’m not strong enough to watch this story and still remain strong in my convictions and integrity. The story is more powerful than I am, and I intend to keep it that way.”

This is what we said about the practice in one of our updates last year:

We’re always more than amused when we have readers who write in and throw the the whole “I’m intelligent, therefore I don’t watch TV” B.S. at us. The implication, of course, being, “I don’t, so why should you?” Usually the folks who take this EXCESSIVE action do it because they don’t have the internal wherewithal, nor the mental fortitude, to discipline themselves to watch selectively. There’s a reason there’s a channel selector; there’s a reason there are hundreds of channels for hundreds of interests. Yet, the “TV is Beyond Me” droids don’t get that.

It’s no different than the person who continually signs off as “Namaste,” using it as a protective mechanism that also makes the person feel bigger than they are… with a sense of importance over the rawness and frailties of life.

This post is for those of our readers who “get” that it’s not TV that’s the problem. TV, instead (and depending on which SHOW you have the power to watch or not watch), is a medium for showing the mindset of the masses in the grandest ways possible.

How about this point of view: It’s wonderful that the majority of stories on the news are what some people tend to label “negative”, because that’s what makes the cut as “newsworthy” for the day in the first place.

“Newsworthy” is anything unique or out of the ordinary that affects your life… if it happens a lot, it’s not newsworthy. As an example, when one person in a city of 600,000 gets mugged, that’s news, because it’s only .00016% of the population that it happened to. The fact that millions of people had a great day today is not news, because it’s the norm everywhere; the day that people having a good time becomes news is the day we know the world is in a really bad place!

Besides, there are plenty of so-called “positive” feel-good stories also covered in the news — people helping people, volunteering time and energy, getting together for a common goal, etc.

But hey, look… even if the puppet masters have an agenda to show you as much negativity as possible, to break down your willpower the way a cowboy tames a wild horse, you’ve only let them win if you refuse to watch the news.

That’s admitting that “they” and their agenda are more powerful than you!

Of course, it goes without saying that we’re not recommending you spend hours and hours each day consuming media or watching TV (the “electronic income reducer”), regardless of what it is you choose to take in. Everything in excess can be detrimental.

We just believe wholeheartedly that taking a stand and refusing to hide from the goings-on in the world around you is much healthier than living in fear, or feeling like you need to censor your experience of life by avoiding certain aspects of it.

Your Partners in the Quest For
Living a Life Without Limits,

P.S. By the way, read our report titled “The Catch 22 of Financial Wealth” yet?

A friend of ours told us how when he was first coming out of the depths of  ‘self-help’ over-consumption, over 20 years ago, he came across a wise old man.

The man, who felt his plight — the almost uncontrollable desire to study and immerse himself in the secrets of the universe and metaphysical philosophy — picked him up, figuratively, by the back of his shirt and said:

“Unless you’re actually honest and open enough to accept what is happening… or more like  what isn’t happening for you in YOUR life… how can you possibly do anything about it?”

You see, our friend was so caught up in his own knowledge — his own fascination of on-the-fringe science and guru psycho-babble — that somehow, some way, he got removed from himself. He withdrew from the ‘world’ for several years. And, as he told us, he just felt his inner-world WAS actually his REAL world.

But, as a balanced, conscious, grounded mind will readily recognize: nothing stalls self-awareness, proper action, and real-world results more than DENIAL.

We’ve talked about this, and other such head-shaking, come-on-get-real-man, misguided self-help practices before. Actually, many times on this blog over the past 2 years.

But, we decided it’s about time to ramp it up a tad.  Our friend, you see, was lucky enough to find somebody who brought him out of the clouds. As his mentor once told him:

“Many New Agers are not only stricken with poverty consciousness. They stay there because they spend more time working their own shit out than actually producing anything of substance. They are basically in a holding pattern above the airport, refusing to land.”

But, some, we know — just based off our own support tickets and blog comments over the years — may not be so fortunate.

Your Partners In The Quest For
Living a Life Without Limits,

The Ghost of Self-Denial and Delusion — past, present, and future — visited us at midnight, just as we finished our last swig of Svedka — one of Heather’s go-to celebratory Vodka brands (yup, we had an occasion to down a shot, each, as Konan completed his first back roll in swim class).

So, right as we’re heading down the hallway to lock down some zzzzzz’s for the night, this spirited, lively apparition thingy, like Jeannie the ’60s genie, popped out right in front of us.

We’ll be writing more about his gnarly visit — and his very mean-spirited guidance — hopefully by Sunday.

Stay tuned… According to him, if we remove any ounce of wussiness from our DNA and man (er, and woman) up, it could be considered the greatest post we’ve ever written.

Oh, Dear Ghost, you just didn’t have any idea who you were challenging, did you?

Little does he know (we didn’t tell him) that we’re all about lashing out against status quo thinking, tossing around critical examination of spooky human behavior that goes bump in the night… and… well, just plain, heck, ya know, being different when it comes to confronting stupidity and nonsense (something, we argue, the masses let merrily march on like ants flanking their mother-in-law’s prized cake at the bake-off of the year. Hell, now who wants to put a stop to that?)

Ya know, our blog is ALREADY jam-packed full of deep, energetic, unique, admittedly sometimes “mind heavy” posts that are written to expand your perceptions, question your reality, ignite your spirit, and hold you (and us) accountable for your (our) experiences in life.

Damn, Mr. Ghost… don’t you know there’s a method behind the madness? (you obviously don’t read, do you?)

So, don’t hold your breath. We’ll take your challenge and, hopefully with passion, pleasure and purpose on our side, we’ll write a post that’ll demand more from our readers than any that have been posted before.

Maybe, if we’re on our game, it’ll pit brother against brother, father against daughter, man against himself… and sure, nature too!

Maybe… yeah, just maybe, if we give it our all, it’ll be the post that shall bring war to Fooldom, certainly — but it shall also bring justice and  truth.

Stay tuned (hopefully by Sunday) for our upcoming post titled:

“How To Quit Fooling Yourself and Your Ghost”

In the meantime, we want to get a tad more serious and point you in a direction that relates to your health AND sovereignty.

Governmental intrusions of privacy, totalitarian mindsets at the highest of levels, and blatant abuses of the U.S. Constitution aren’t normally topics that we DIVE DEEPLY into. Granted, we ARE aware these insidious things are happening — and happening at an alarming rate — yet, there are only so many head-shaking things we can tackle while still doing it with focused-thought and flair.

So, we’ll stick with investigating and pin-pointing the other side of the story as it relates to personal growth, finances, economics, and business productivity.

And, we’ll let some of our friends and colleagues handle areas that are more in tune with their own focused fascination.

As it relates to issues of health, especially about things that CAN keep you from living in an unrestricted, self-reliant way, we often lean on Roger Haeske.

Roger, last week, asked his readers a question. One that certainly made a lot of them pay attention.

It was:  Which Vaccine Killed 20 Million People?

For the answer, click the “continue reading” link below.

DISCLOSURE from Barry and Heather: While we have NOT validated Roger’s research below or conducted our own research that may or may not refute what he’s found, we’re still passing this on for two main reasons:

#1): We, unfortunately, have had direct experience with socialistic, we-always-know-what’s-better-for-your-health-than-you-do governmental gestapo tactics. Not only, when we first started bringing Konan in to see his Pediatrician, did we have to listen to the SPEECH (i.e., about how dangerous it is for us not to keep him vaccinated), but even AFTER asking our Pediatrician to include this FORMAL STATEMENT in our file, he’s still REQUIRED to throw out “you’re doing the wrong thing” non-sense, in an attempt to nudge us to be pro-vaccination (he said, “I’ll lose my job, if I don’t”).

If you’re a new parent, or soon will be, or have small children, use this PDF for information about children’s Health and Vaccinations that we DID put some solid research into.

By the way, if your Doctor just gets too annoying (won’t let up in his/her quest to vaccinate your child), ask him/her to sign this form: http://www.lwlworldwide.com/wvs.pdf

#2): We trust Roger. He’s not only a passionate, dedicated holistic health researcher, he LIVES what he researches. He’s vibrant, has the energy of a 14-year-old, is a raw foods expert and, most importantly, he’s authentic, and has the best intentions for bringing forth information and resources that truly empowers the reader.

Barry has known Roger for years, talks to him often, and can vouch for him being a living example of a true patriot. Regardless of how “icky” (as one love ‘n lighter we know describes anything that doesn’t feel good or makes him see negativity)  it may be, Roger is somebody who doesn’t stand by idly, accepting and adoring everything the government says and does… somebody who has the boldness to lash out at passed-down, questionable ideals, and somebody who understands why “critical thinking,” inner-world awareness, and self-derived historical research are keys for bringing forth a no-limit, unbridled, prosperous future for ourselves and our families.

By Roger Haeske:

How many of your friends and relatives will die unexpectedly or get  severely ill this year due to being forcibly given poison?

Yes — Wake Up and Pay Attention — This is IMPORTANT

The article I’ve included below is a prelude to another article, which  deals  with  the  severe health dangers we are faced with here in the USA and many other countries around the  world.  So please read this first article and then read the second.

If you’ve not been exposed to this kind of information before this could be shocking and  maybe you will disbelieve it. But remember this. Whenever you’re given information by  the  media  and the drug companies… just remember to follow the money.

Or more aptly to try and understand their motives. If you can pierce through the veil and get at the facts you’ll realize that truth is stranger than fiction.

Once you read the first article, you’ll realize that what is being written in the second article could be true because it already happened once in history.

If you don’t understand the information below and take appropriate  measures  it’s  very  likely that you too could be one of the people who die or have severe and lifelong health problems as a result.

I’m not talking about cooked food here. Something much worse and  something  which  could  kill, maim and injure you and your loved ones in a short time.

And if the governments of the world have their way, they’ll be the  ones  poisoning  us  and  we won’t be able to do anything about it. This will be done under the guise of protecting us.

But nothing could be further from the truth. And they won’t give us a choice.

This all pertains to the current Swine Flu scare and the planned mandatory vaccinations with the Swine Flu vaccine.

====================

1. “The 1918 Influenza Epidemic Was a Vaccine – Caused Disease”

Very few people realize that the worst epidemic ever to hit America, the  Spanish  Influenza  of 1918 was the after effect of the massive nation-wide vaccine  campaign.  The  doctors  told  the people that the disease was caused by germs. Viruses were not known at that time or  they  would have been blamed. Germs. bacteria and viruses, along with bacilli  and  a  few  other  invisible organisms are the scapegoats which the doctors  like  to  blame  for  the  things  they  do  not understand. If the doctor makes a wrong diagnosis and treatment, and kills the patient,  he  can always blame it on the germs, and say the patient didn’t get an early diagnosis and come  to  him in time.

If we check back in history to that 1918 flu period, we will see that it  suddenly  struck  just after the end of World War I when our soldiers were returning home from overseas. That  was  the first war in hich all the known vaccines were forced on all the servicemen.  This  mish-mash  of poison drugs and putrid protein of which the vaccines  were  composed,  caused  such  widespread disease and death among the soldiers that it was the common talk of the day, that  more  of  our men were being killed by medical shots than by enemy shots from guns. Thousands  were  invalided home or to military hospitals, as hopeless wrecks, before they ever saw a  day  of  battle.  The death and disease rate among the vaccinated soldiers  was  four  times  higher  than  among  the unvaccinated civilians. But this did not stop the vaccine promoters. Vaccine has always been big business, and so it was continued doggedly.

It was a shorter war than the vaccine-makers had planned on, only about a year for  us,  so  the vaccine promoters had a lot of unused, spoiling vaccines left over which they wanted to sell  at a good profit. So they did what they usually do, they called a meeting behind closed doors,  and plotted the whole sordid program, a nationwide (worldwide) vaccination  drive  using  all  their vaccines, and telling the people that the soldiers were coming home  with  many  dread  diseases contracted in foreign countries and that it was the patriotic duty of every man, woman and child to get “protected” by rushing down to the vaccination centers and having all the shots.

Most people believe their doctors and government officials, and do what  they  say.  The  result was, that almost the entire population submitted to the shots without question, and it was  only a matter of hours until people began dropping dead in agony, while many others collapsed with  a disease of such virulence that no one had ever seen anything like it before. They  had  all  the characteristics of the diseases they had been vaccinated against, the high fever, chills,  pain, cramps, diarrhea, etc. of typhoid,  and  the  pneumonia  like  lung  and  throat  congestion  of
diphtheria and the vomiting, headache, weakness and misery of hepatitis from  the  jungle  fever shots, and the outbreak of sores on the skin from the smallpox shots, along with paralysis  from all the shots, etc.

The doctors were baffled, and claimed they  didnt  know  what  caused  the  strange  and  deadly disease, and they certainly had no cure. They should have known the  underlying  cause  was  the vaccinations, because the same thing happened to the soldiers after  they  had  their  shots  at camp. The typhoid fever shots caused a worse form of the disease which they called para-typhoid. Then they tried to suppress the symptoms of that one with a  stronger  vaccine  which  caused  a still more serious disease which killed and disabled a great many men. The  combination  of  all the poison vaccines fermenting together in the body, caused such  violent  reactions  that  they could not cope with the situation. Disaster ran rampant in  the  camps.  Some  of  the  military hospitals were filled with nothing but paralyzed soldiers, and they were called war  casualties, even before they left American soil. I talked to some of the survivors of that vaccine onslaught when they returned home after the war, and they told of the horrors, not of the war itself,  and battles, but of the sickness at camp.

The doctors didn’t want this massive vaccine disease to reflect on them, so they,  agreed  among themselves to call it Spanish Influenza. Spain was a far away place and some of the soldiers had been there, so the idea of calling it Spanish Influenza seemed to be a good way to lay the blame on someone else. The Spanish resented having us name the world scourge on them.  They  knew  the flu didnt originate in their country.

20,000,000 died of that flu epidemic, worldwide, and it seemed to be almost universal or as  far away as the vaccinations reached. Greece and a few other countries  which  did  not  accept  the vaccines were the only ones which were not hit by the flu. Doesnt that prove something?

At home (in the U.S.) the situation was the same; the only ones who escaped the  influenza  were those who had refused the vaccinations. My family and I were among  the  few  who  persisted  in refusing the high pressure sales propaganda ,and none of us had the flu not even a  sniffle,  in spite of the fact that it was all around us, and in the bitter cold of winter.  Everyone  seemed to have it. The whole town was down sick and  dying.  The  hospitals  were  closed  because  the doctors and nurses were down with the flu. Everything  was  closed,  schools,  businesses,  post

office everything. No one was on the streets. It was like a ghost town. There were no doctors to care for the sick, so my parents went from house to house doing what  they  could  to  help  the stricken in any way they could. They spent all day and part of the night for weeks, in the  sick rooms, and came home only to eat and sleep. If germs or viruses, bacteria, or any  other  little organisms were the cause of that disease, they had  plenty  of  opportunity  to  latch  onto  my parents and “lay them low” with the disease which had prostrated the world. But germs  were  not the cause of that or any other disease, so they didnt “catch” it. I have talked to a  few  other people since that time, who said they escaped the 1918 flu, so I asked if they  had  the  shots, and in every case, they said they had never believed in shots and had never  had  any  of  them.

Common sense tells us that all those toxic vaccines all mixed up together in people,  could  not help but cause extreme body-poisoning and poisoning of some kind or another is usually the cause of disease.

Whenever a person coughs or sneezes, most people cringe,  thinking  that  the  germs  are  being spread around in the au and will attack people. There is no need to fear those germs  any  more, because that is not the way colds are developed. Germs cant live apart from the cells (host) and cant do harm anyway, even if they wanted to. They have  no  teeth  to  bite  anyone,  no  poison pouches like snakes, mosquitoes or bees, and do not multiply, except in  decomposed  substances, so they are helpless to harm. As stated before, their purpose is useful, not destructive.

The 1918 flu was the most devastating disease we ever had, and it brought forth all the  medical bag of tricks to quell it, but those added drugs, all of which are poisons, only intensified the over-poisoned condition of the people, so the treatments actually killed more than the  vaccines did.

Vaccination The Silent Killer: A  Clear  And  Present  Danger  by  Ida  Honorof  and  E.  McBean
(Paperback – 1977) Out of Print-Limited Availability

http://www.drcarley.com

Here’s another book from 1977 that you can read online regarding this very topic.  It’s  called,
“Swine Flu Expose”

http://www.whale.to/vaccine/sf.html

Ok then, now you’ve familiarized yourself with this information. Maybe you’re starting to get  a different viewpoint on vaccinations.

I’ve done lots of study on this topic myself and therefore feel that the drug companies and  the USDA etc. do not have our best health interests in mind.

For extensive proof of this with loads of documentation and court cases to back it up, just read the book, “Politics In Healing,” by Daniel Haley.

Then read this article, which deals with our current situation and what is being planned for  us by Big Brother in regards to this nonsense about the Swine Flu.
