Disease as Religion: Part One, the Predicaments

[kimberlysteele]

Humans are a naturally religious species. Atheism is never going to amount to more than a fringe movement despite the fondest wishes of the Richard Dawkinses and Sam Harrises of the world because humans are not built to be atheists. Two thirds of Americans claim to have had a paranormal experience according to You.gov in 2022, and around the world, it is more common to have experienced the so-called paranormal than to lack such experience. The paranormal is normal. Atheist hypocrisy is another weighty albatross around the necks of the would-be godless. When atheists wallow in the same hypocrises as their Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist counterparts, it becomes apparent that atheism is the same crap, different day, just without any chance of divine connection. In other words, it's boring. Dawkins and Harris are especially sketchy characters, especially when it comes to topics like pedophilia and killing children, which they are both a bit too comfortable with when engaging in hyperbole.

Science is no longer scientific. We need only look at the recent MRNA vaccine debacle that still rages to this day for evidence. Safe and effective! Get your free donut! The medieval church of Covid, where every media apparatus, celebrity, doctor, and regular civilian pushed the faith has yet to evolve to the military tribunal phase. Remember when those of us who didn't take the quacks were called apostates? Remember when we were mercilessly excommunicated from our jobs, families, movie theaters, churches, grocery stores, health clinics, and restaurants? In my own case, I had to give up on the commercial space incarnation of my own small business. Thirteen years of working my tail off went down the tubes because I refused to force people to wear masks during music lessons. I'll never forget when a prospective student tried to sing with a mask on at her first introductory voice lesson.

Those of us who did not allow the priests and nuns of the cult to inject the unholy sacrament into our vessels certainly had the last laugh, but at what cost? I guess we are finding out.

We all instinctively know that all the riches in the world are not worth the powder to blow it all to hell if you don't have your health. I once knew a multimillionaire who died a slow, wasting death of Parkinson's disease. If he had been homeless and had frozen to death on the shore of Lake Michigan, he would have had a nobler and gentler death. At least it would have been quick.

The Stoics knew how bad Meatworld sucks and they were completely honest about it. Terrible things happen in Meatworld whether or not it is an illusion. The only thing the individual can do about this suffering is to change his or her own reaction. Most of us are failing the test of reacting to the pain of disease. The only contest we stand a chance of winning is Whiniest Whiner.

I get it: I have suffered chronic pain. There is no being productive when your head feels like a raccoon is trying to eat his way out of it and when your guts feel like they are made of shattered beer bottles. Unless you are in Canada, suicide is usually neither advised nor suggested. I remember moments when the pain got so bad that no drug could distract from it. (I suppose heroin might have done the job but I did not have access to it as a nerd from the suburbs) Even when I was an atheist, I remember the moment when I turned my mind inside out on a train, essentially left my body, and borrowed the energy of those whose etheric bodies gave me permission to lean my energy against theirs. I was 21 and I had no idea what I was doing at the time, though I have some idea now.

Prayer and magic are the only things that can affect chronic pain unless you count fentanyl. Every single chronic pain sufferer needs to do a banishing ritual such as the Sphere of Protection in my opinion. The only relief anyone is ever going to get from the worst of the worst pain is from the Divine, full stop, end of sentence.

Bad Karma

I am glad I did not choose to join any form of medical profiteering, including marrying an insurance CEO or a hospital director, because their karma is not looking good. Of course I could be wrong, but my instinct about the karma of taking the vaccine itself was so negative, I was willing to die a violent death in order to avoid it. If the karma of merely taking the vaccine involves extended stays in Purgatory and falling back down the evolutionary ladder in a few hundred million years back to animal form, well, I guess that means I won't be taking it while alive.

Nature abhors a vacuum. This is what happens when very few believe in a divine hierarchy. A once-thriving ecosystem and bridge between the worlds via amazing humans such as Hildegaard von Bingen and Johnny Appleseed has been replaced with a distant, unrelatable monogod and distant, unrelatable celebrities. Both of these things are as good as nothing at all, and a tsunami of foolishness has rushed in to fill the void. Doctors were once humble public servants -- they went to people's houses and legitimately endeavored to fix their patients. Now they are so hagged by insurance wraiths and other middlemen, they have gone from healers to machine cogs. Though they may still be able to cling to antiquated pride in the title of MD, let's face it, doctors are slaves. If and when they actually heal people, they get in trouble with their corporate handlers who prefer a sick and ailing populace. Healthy people do not spend their entire earnings and then some on medical treatments. Human desperation is good money.

In a world that has been perceptibly emptied of its gods, the masses still need someone -- anyone! -- to worship. Doctor and Nurse are still prestigious titles for this very reason, but not for long. In the deindustrial future to which I believe we are en route, allopaths will be hunted for sport. Anyone who claims they can heal the sick will be instructed to put up or shut up, and if the would-be healer fails routine tests of earnestness, wholesomeness, and competence, he or she will be the repository for societal rage and frustration. The future is not one of general human wellness. If things keep going the way they have been going, between endemic etheric starvation, environmental poisoning, and long-term, genome-level vaccine side effects, we're all cooked. The human herd is already becoming dramatically thinner. Older people are dying anywhere from 5 to 50 years too soon. Young kids are dropping dead at the choir concert or while livestreaming on TikTok. ERs are constantly full of babies with pneumonia. Women are bearing hideously deformed infants, miscarrying, or not able to catch pregnant at all. Of course this is just the beginning: the current crop of extremely-vaccinated babies is turning into the most autistic generation of all time.

If you think more scapegoats are not going to be forthcoming from the ranks of the medical profiteer class, you are naive. Those who got their 24,000 dollar umbrella stands off the backs of sick people and denied claims are going to be the devils of the religions of the future. Brian Thompson was just the beginning.

I'm embarrassed to ask such a question after such a complex and subtle essay but somewhere or the other ... it might've been on JMG's Dreamwidth ... you gave the tooth remineralization treatment you use. I need it but I didn't write it down when I should have. Would you please help?

Thanks for asking! Actually, it’s a combination of a few things. Number one, after I brush my teeth at night, I take the contents of a soft calcium supplement capsule and stick that into the pocket areas of my gums, and by my teeth where they tend to decay. Also, I take 15mg of zinc twice a day with meals. I weigh about 120 pounds, so adjust per your own weight. I take a multivitamin in the morning in addition to the zinc as well as at least 2000 mg of vitamin C per day in pill form. The vitamins help me to breathe through my nose, along with the complete avoidance of dairy. Dairy creates a great deal of mucus, far more than sugar or carbs at least in my case. I also try to breathe through my nose because it helps prevent tooth decay.
