rhet.mtloidarttwitis - step i iOauthority forgel Mr. Pleasant, Mel tryAli'le tn:1 True - Ho'oponopouoHo'oponoponoHomeArchivesProfileSubscribe09/19/2010rheumatoid arthritis -- step into authority -- forget Mr. Pleasant, and try AliveandTrueI want to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis from arthritis (thelast post), as it's classed differently being an auto-immunedisease. (And the reason I'm covering this is because twopeople in my circle, no t related by 'blood"however have thisdis-ease diagnosed and I'm doing Ho'oponopono on thiswithin myself. I heal this disharmony within myself; I amnever healing anyone else. That it affects .. others"is certain;but that cannot be the focal point or it exacerbates a sense ofdivision rather than acknowledging wholeness.)An autoimmune disease means that the immune system,which is something intended as a self-defense system to wardoff externai bacteria and viruses (any harmful foreignsubstance), has gone awry and believes your body is ao enemy.In a spiritual sense ifone tends to view and reference the concept of"us versus them"and see externaisituations and people as "the enemy", or working at "cross-purposes"to you that will start to proliferate youwill, as ultimately there are no otherpeople: lt's ali one whole contiguous continuous Being. You'd be onlyfighting yourself. I think spiritually speaking a healthy immune system will simply dueto harmoniouscondit ions basically deflect any discordant organisms; something like the way the positive pole ofa magnetdeflects negatively-charged iron filings. This is no t actively fighting, it is simply a mismatch in polarities. Themagnet is perfectly pure and clear.On the symbolism o f rheumatoid arthritis via Louise Hay: ''Deep criticism o authority. Feeling veryput upon."She recommends the affirmation: "Iam my own authority. I love and approve ofmyself. Life isgood." (Again, I'm not keen on affirmations.You really are going to have to get to the root o f the message notassuage it. This will require totally be willing to see the projection too. I recommend The Work, by ByronKatie.)And from Lise Bourbeau (unfortunately, I ve already reached Google Books' search limit, however, this iswhat I found): 'Generally, i fyou suffer from rheumatoid arthri t is you are very self-critical; youhave dimeulty doing what you enjoy and asking others for help ..."At some point, you will realize, there is no one out there stopping you from being you-you areyour own authority. YOU ARE THEAUTIIOROF YOUR UFE. There's no one holding you back (althoughyour own beliefs about "power,"and what others will approve ofand willnot approve ofmay be holdingyouback). There's no one else that needs to do Xor Y, so then you can be free. No one is stopping you from doingwhat you enjoy. No one is doing you in. No one is your enemy. No one, especially those that believe they arein charge, is in charge. Life's in charge--and it ain't your enemy either.For a long time, I would hear people say things like ''I cannot afford to go to a doctor," o r similar statementsofpowerlessness. As ifthe doctor is the authority oftheir healing, and their health is in someone else's hands.Having discovered that I can heal myself, this always felt strangely like purposefully denying divineauthority by giving it to something/someone extemal.

For instance, I didn 't see a way to be the authority ofmy own wealth -- of course, it wastotally dependent on getting ajob, ora foothold in the marketplace, and appeasing the masses withsomething "commercially"viable to sustain me. Andof course being a radical, '\he powers that be"were outto squash me somehow or another. MY mind would run rampant thinking it was Me versus the Mainstream.And even lately, one ofmy closest collaborators told me in an argument, 'You're hippy-dippy"underlininghow even my allies seem to have turned into adversaries.And since this course is called, CleanUp The Gulfln You, in terms o f the Gulf oil spill, it's pretty clear-cutwhom the enemy-authority is. Why it's British Petroleum of course.Now, ali this might make some kind ofrational ''sense" as it's what we grew up believing--that other people arein charge, o r even God is in charge, but it's not how creatorship and authority works.Re-read the post on We Are Cause (as in we're not at the effect ofthe world. we're creatorsl and I alsorecommend Mike Dooley's book, ''Infinite Possibilities: The Art ofLiving Your Dreams"and Rhonda Byrne's'The Power". (Skewed a bi t more Christian, yet also relevant are '"Fearless: Imagine Your Ufe Withou Fear",by Max Lucado and 'The Mystical I"by Joel Goldsmith.)There is no one holding you back. The projeetion is your thoughtsfbeliefs about reality areholding you baek. (And it's a pretty flimsy barrier. No worries.)As I was writing this post, the song Mr. Pleasant by the Kinks (1967) carne on the radio. The firstline that caught my attention was, ~ n d the whole wide world is on your side .. "Wow, and the whole wide world is on your side. Sound perfect doesn't it?

"A violin that has been made by a master resonates only with pure tones, and itdoes so deep and abundantly. A cheap one resonates to many tones, but in a dullway.Make sure everything you do, or add to yourself, ia made of Pinus Resonanzawood, and accorcling to universal proportions. Then your life will resonate withthe good and worthwhe, and you will be a Stradivarius for yourself and everyoneyou meet. " - H e x a ~ a m 17. I Ching

Do you really need the world on your side? Are you waiting for the world to be on your side?Does the iris require that the water lilies be on its side to be an iris?Does wholeness have ''sides''?You don't need the world onyour side. Muse on that one.I realized that sometimes I purposefuliy gave away my authority in order to be agreeable, or in other words,not completely isolated and alienated. (Sure, that's a beliefsystem to o.) It's a kind ofexchange: I won't bemyself, so that I can be with you. Hmmmm. Yes, that's how convoluted our belief systems are sometimes.So often we give away Ufe's authority in order to be nice and have friends rather than, say, enemies. We'rethe epitome ofMr. o r Miss Pleasant. On doing the Ho'oponopono on this I see how I have dulied the "puretones" ofmyself and no one realiy did this to me except my incessant beliefs, even ifthey seemed reinforcedby others, that I'm not acceptable as I am.(Does the bird sing its song for approval? Or does it sing because it's a song bird?)Ali this suppression in order to be a good girl, as defined by others and their own images o f good. Yes, eventhis compulsion to teach the Ho'oponopono course is slightly that (sure, there's a kernel related to my truecalling, but it's not my primary calling as "workshops"aren't really my purest expression ofjoy) -- thePERCEIVED need to be nice, good, compassionate global citizen as defined by the masses, o r else suffer theconsequences-- hmmm, exile or something, I suppose ;)

20106113 rheumaiDid artlritls -- stsp imo authori1y-- forge1 Mr. Pleasant, and 1ryAiheand True- Ho'opouopoo"Yet, that's why rheumatoid arthritis is a definite message offeeling put upon. You aren't doingwhat you enjoy because no one willlet you, because no willlike me ifl do, because they willleave me ifldon't do what they want (and its variations). For me, it's an underlying beliefthat one shouldn't do what theyenjoy 100% ofthe time because that's self-indulgent!! And self-indulgence might 'hurt" other people. Really?As if self-sacrifice is helping?

I Don 't ask yourselfwhat the world needs. Ask yourselfwhat makes you come alive and then go do that.Beca use what the world needs is people who have come alive- Howard ThurmanForget good. Forget Mr. Pleasant. Try Alive. Try True. Pretty much beingjust "okay"is a disease. It's aslow killer, yet inl get you every time. Don't compromise. Don't settle for okay.Anything less thanjoy (it need not be outrageous and loud, sometimes it's quiet and blissful)is notour natural condition, and it signifies a resistance to Life right this Now.Nowthat I've seen through the message ofrheumatoid arthritis and seen its application in myselfsincerely (ifit doesn't feel true, keeping being willing to see the message for you and it will arise in due time).lt's time toallow and accept, I repeat the Ho'oponopono words: I love you, Iforgive you, I release you, I love you ..Bye-bye Mr. Pleasant ...Oh Mr Pleasant, how is Mrs Pleasant?I hope the world is treating you right,And your head's in the air,And you re feeling so proud,'Cause you re such a success,And the whole wide world is on yourside, hey hey.How are you today?People say Mr Pleasant is good,Mr Pleasant is kind,Mr Pleasant's okay,Mr Pleasant don t mind.As longas Mr Pleasant's ali right, hey hey.How are you today?How 's your ather, how s your mother?How 's your sister, how s your brother?How 's your brand, new limousine,Twenty-four inch 1V screen?Did you like prosperityMore than you liked poverty?Life is easier, so much easier,Life is easier now.Oh Mr Pleasant, how is Mrs Pleasant?Did you know she wasjlirting aroundWith another young man,And he s taking her outWhen you have to work late?And it's no t so pleasant afterall, hey hey.How are you today?People say Mr Pleasant is good,Mr Pleasant is kind,

Her own mother had intense rheumatoid arthritis, and now her daughter is reporting how muchshoulder pain she's carrying on this particular meditation retreat. It's too much to share here, watch:
