Hi. If you know me, I'm probably not the first person you would think of as needing to learn how to master freedom. I've picked up my life several times, seemingly at the drop of the hat, in search of new adventure and experience, from Iowa to New York City, band tours and concerts, road trips and wine parties, piano bars and late night restaurants, and most recently working on cruise ships, selling art and visitsing exotic islands.
Though it seems I have traveled where I want to, when I want to, worked when I want to, quit when I want to, and generally just all around done WHATEVER the hell I want to do, know matter what anyone else thinks - true Freedom still eludes me.
Since I became accutely aware in 2001 of the idea of American Freedom, it has been tossed about like a rag doll, manifesting in our collective experience as the unwillingness to take responsibility for our actions, or blaming other people for their opinions, way of life or values, and by the invasion, control and destruction of thousands of innocent lives around the world. I have been sickened and disgusted, encouraged and uplifted many times since then - and have come to the conclusion that the biggest vote we have in the world concerning our experience of freedom is made on the inside. I shall now quote Ghandi at the risk of sounding cliche - "Be the change you would like to see".
So now, I would like to thank you as a witness to my declaration to master freedom, inside and outside. It is my intention to embody freedom, liberation and the abundance of choice in my thought, actions and body. It is my hope that my change will act like a stone in the pool, sending little ripples of freedom to anyone who reads this blog encouraging them to take a step in the same direction.
So today, this starts with my health. I intend to experience and Master Freedom from disease. And if you know me, for the last four years, I have been experiencing Type 1 Diabetes or as it is sometimes called Juvenile Diabetes - generally referred to as an incurable disease.
I have discovered now at least one doctor who is reliably and sustainably assisting the healing of both Type-1 and Type-2 diabetics. Gabriel Cousens, MD. is a leader in the field of holistic healing through the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center and his creation of the Rainbow Green Live Cuisine - an integrative approach to daily living including a live food diet. You can check out more information by clicking www.treeoflife.nu or copy and paste to your web browser.
There is a 21 Day+ Program for reversing Diabetes at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, but I don't currently have $12,000 to go to it and I am not going to wait until August to start this process. So, with little to lose other than the slow diabetic march of degeneration to an undeserved early death, I embark on healing myself, and reporting faithfully on my progress, my results, and how it affects my life and the lives of those around me.
So if anyone is out there reading, I hope this accounting will serve as an inspiration to be free from whatever may be holding you back from experiencing your full potential self. Whether you suffer from poor health, lack of money, lack of love, or lack of FREEDOM, I invite you to join me in stepping into the full potential of magnificence I believe is the birthright and purpose of every human being - and if inclined, I appreciate your cheers of encouragement and well wishes, whether you have long embarked on this path, or are just beginning.
With that, I offer humbly to Krishna, my last and only cow.
(Don't worry, I don't worship Hindu gods - I am just referencing an old parable)
Abaddham!
