A Change of Mind

When I was really depressed in my early twenties and was thinking about suicide I finally heard a voice from deep inside that said: “If you want to kill yourself it doesn't mean that something is wrong with life, it means that something is wrong with your thinking.” That saved my life. I bought a sleeping bag, hitch hiked to Iran and Afghanistan and dropped out of medical school when i returned.

But even today, thirty years later, I am still trying to figure out all the implications of the message.

Yes, healing begins at home and no telling where it ends…I think by sharing personal experiences, of what and how we have changed, and how and what we are doing to help others to change, and how others are helping us to change. I don't think there is as many out there for us to help change as there is as many out there to help us to change. As a healer I am different in the way that i BELIEVE that it is i that is being healed. The one that comes to me to be healed is healing me also, what ever you give to another you give to yourself because we are ONE. Just like right now you are here to help me to release love to the world, as i write my vibrations are at such a higher level you may even feel it as i am writing and there is no telling what this energy is doing to help change the world right now. Your Friend, Don

Thanks for reminding me, Don. It is so easy to fool myself and think i need to heal others when I am really the one who needs healing the most. And just this thought lets humility come in and the peace that heals my monkey mind.

But then, the next moment, my thoughts take off again and want me go out and heal the world, even though I have been proving to them for the hundreth time now that it is only me they are talking to. An ego talking to a Self, but the Self is not interested, just observing the game of one fraction of ignorance trying to fool the other.

Peace is when I detach from that little “i”.

One love, one heart, one destiny. Who said that?
Wasn't that a cowboy movie?

So what?

Truth is truth.

         I posted this on another pod a few months back,

  I am a healer and from the start I was never satisfied with just being a healer. I never asked to be a healer, if I did I was unaware of what I was asking for. I wanted to know why I was never happy and what would make me happy.  I knew I did not want to try anything I had already tried. And that's when I was lead to learn about forgiveness.
     As a healer I wanted to learn more about healers.  I did not understand why they could heal others but not their self and why they had to die. I believe that a healer is someone who starts to heal their self and while they are healing they discover that they have power to heal others. When they believe they are a healer to heal others they forget about healing their self and start doing what they were doing all their life - trying to change everybody but their self.  Most healers believe an exchange has to take place so they charge for their service but what they are not seeing is that an exchange is taking place, that others are coming to give them what they need.       Your friend, Don
      Now I will add to this, what they need is somebody to help them to open their HEART, where healing can start and not only for the one that looks like they need to be healed or the healer but also for…………..who ever and what ever but that is no concern of ours. We are to learn what opens our HEART or should I say what it is that closes our HEART !! Some think that their HEART opens and it stays that way, this is not true, I think you are aware of that. I know I feel different when it is open. How we open the HEART is by being who we are. You see all the people into meditation, they only start, they don't keep it going. They put the world aside for a short period then they pick it up again. If we want to remember who we are we must find another that wants the same, I don't mean someone that said's they want the same thing and really they don't. It is better to be the student then the teacher, that don't mean that we can not be a teacher, it means if we go back and forth then we can learn more to teach or share, I like that word better. If I keep on going then you won't buy my book and I'm sitting on 1200 of them, I self published it, that was easy to learn, but self marketing is not so easy , well maybe it is but it is slow :-). Maybe we need to e-mail each other, I have my reason for that. Talk to you later, My Brother
