The vilification of people who refused the vaccine sure added to the torque of the placebo effect of it, but of course I rejected the idea of being a sacrifice for this, along side others. This "Aulos" failed against Apollo and the corona itself was not be befitted to the poor propaganda/medicine that was deployed in the mainstream media. The alternative is also failing short in my opinion. Apollo is still looking for a worthy opponent.
Maybe the role of a good healer is not just to offer a remedy, but to craft the right story around it, to infuse it with just enough ambiguity to engage the deeper layers of the psyche. There’s an art to embracing that spectral space where safety and danger, truth and illusion, swirl together into something that can transform us—whether for better or worse.
I also like how there’s a raw alchemy in the tension between truth and lie, cure and poison. The idea that the immune system thrives on this very ambiguity feels like it speaks to something deep about human nature itself.
This reminds me of a psychic surgeon I read about. He would perform healing procedures, and then afterwards he would have a bologna sandwich on white wonder bread for lunch. I was fascinated by this, first because psychic surgery is intriguing, but mostly because of the wonder bread. How can someone who is a healer eat wonder bread or smoke cigarettes? I later learned that there are many practitioners who do this. This contradiction blew my mind. It now requires me on a daily basis to reassess everything I think I know about health, surgery, food, medicine. To be honest, I still don't have a clue what I think about it all. I even hesitate to comment on this article because I think I understand where you are going with this, but also, I have no idea if I am missing the mark. Either way, it has been more food for thought for my hungry soul (pun intended). Cheers.
(The book I read with the bologna sandwich was Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal by Richard Gordon, and now I am reading Psi-healing by Alfred Steller where he mentions a healer from the Philippines who smoked cigarettes.)
Smoking is a meditation with breathe btw. Smoking healthy seems quite possible with the righty posture. Baloney on wonder bread is just showing off haha jk
20 years I give massage therapy and it’s funny how people need it deeper and deeper and they ask why does it hurt and you say because I am poking deep into you…
Sometimes it can actually look like I’m crucifying them the way that they writhe with ecstasy.
The Occam in me shakes his head in disappointment, knowing that a gentle caress could be enough

This sums up the rollercoaster of the last four years for me. I especially appreciate the part about Apollo being found wanting.

“Surgical fear” would be a sloppy but accurate term for this

From Asclepius to Caduceus we learn both sides of the snake.

If truth is salad and thoughts are words then you just published a word salad. Namasté 🙏
