KS&L 342 Dismantling the Structures of Someone's L ife Part 1

When we are born, we enter mortal life with a new, physical body – and nothing else. When we die, we leave, as we came in, with nothing – not even the physical body that housed us in this life. However, throughout our life, we collect, acquire, purchase, receive and hold on to ‘things.’ We end up with all kinds of things, from houses and cars, clothes and jewelry, furniture and art, to insurance policies and investments.

At birth, we - through the auspices of our parents - immediately begin to surround ourselves with the ‘things’ that are required to offer us the enriching experiences of mortal life. Each toy, book, and stuffed animal enriches our childhood experience. We have to have these ‘things’.

As our life progresses and we evolve as human beings, we hold dear certain objects from childhood: a treasured doll, a velvety rabbit, a superman comic book, well worn toy car or storybook. Many of us hold on to these things, perhaps tucked away, through teen years and even into adulthood. We treasure them because they have meaning for us, usually way beyond their financial value. The meaning each one holds is a key element in our spiritual and emotional growth. We learn some of the lessons of love by realizing that we love objects and people. We also come to understand that we love places as well. We learn what it means to be ‘attached’ to places and things.

Eventually we equate locations with objects. We weave the very fabric of our experiences with the memories of the places we have been and loved by the physical treasures we hold dear. And we can hold them dear for our entire lifetime.

Treasured memories are often epitomized by greeting cards, be they Christmas, birthday, wedding and baby shower cards. Each card recalls an event. As we handle each one, the memory of the moment returns and time becomes relative. There is poignancy to opening an old card and reading the sentiment inside.

Jewelry holds the energy of so many experiences! One woman hated her wedding [hard to believe] and refused to wear her wedding bands. At her passing, her family found them, tucked away, almost like she wished the painful memory, of her own wedding could be tucked away as well. Some pieces of jewelry we wear every single day because each piece carries with it a positive feeling. Some pieces sit in our jewelry boxes and we may pick them up a thousand times, and end up seldom if ever wearing them. That piece of jewelry will have very little energy from its owner. It will be neutral. Other pieces of jewelry are filled with the karma of a lifetime of use.

Our homes are actually our outer body, and reflect the richness or poverty of our lives, no matter how much money we financially have. Color, art, form, texture, define who we are and we surround ourselves with these structures. The art on the walls can indicate past lives. Are we in love with the gorgeous lines of French art and décor? Do we find Native American art brings us that sense of peaceful existence? Is modern art with its sharp clean lines the energy that makes us feel organized and balanced? Art, in all its forms, even insignificant things help to define who we are – and we traditionally like to look around our homes and see the art that represents us.

Our bedrooms hold the literal scent of our bodies in the clothes in the closets and dresser drawers. Opening the closet of a person who has passed away often enables us to feel surrounded by them for one last fleeting time. Nightstands hold the last things he or she used before turning out the light. The books they read, the creams they used, the reading glasses laid in place one last time. The things that made that person feel safe to move into the darkness are there, carefully placed next to his or her lamp.

Our kitchens and garages are the work places of the mundane moments of our lives. Women often have their mother’s china, special serving pieces and silverware. Crystal glasses, pretty cake plates and generous platters are handed down from mother to daughter(s) over the generations. Sometimes those pieces are laden with dust, never used, but kept, as if holding on, perpetuated the memories of the past. Just because a woman does not use a beautiful serving piece or set of dishes, does not mean that she does not love them. Sometimes loving them means not using them for fear of breaking them. Cast iron pots, corn bread molds and cooking tools from wooden spoons to zesters help define the hours anyone spends preparing delicious fare for family and friends – memories every flavorful one. Picking up the object almost returns the aroma of those moments of entering a house filled with the scents of home cooking.

Men love their tools. Garages are filled with the tools that father and sons use to make things, repair everything in the past from barns and silos to horse gear and carriages. Today’s garages are filled with the tools to repair or work with all kinds of things from gardening to cars. Many a happy hour has been spent in the garage where a father and son were bent over the engine of a car, endlessly ‘tinkering’ with a beloved old automobile.

In Part 2, dismantling all of these life structures.

KS&L 341 The Radiac® 'Impedance Device

Edgar Cayce was an amazing person best known for giving ‘readings,’ while operating in deep trance, about everything from Atlantis to a person’s illness. His information was recorded and now exists in the library at the Association for Research and Enlightenment at the Edgar Cayce Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Mr. Cayce was quite specific in the treatments he recommended for people as well as the devices he would strongly urge someone to use if they wanted to become healthy again. One of the most remarkable devices he ever recommended was something called the Radiac®. Currently few people even know it exists, what it does or where to acquire this device.

The following is quoted from author Harvey Grady’s “A Gift on the Doorstep” as he describes the amazing Radiac®.

The Impedance Device was recommended in the readings for health maintenance and prevention of disease. It was said to be ‘good for anyone!” (826-3) “The vibrations from some are well for every human individual.”(1800-15) Specifically, it was recommended for nervous tension and incoordination [sic] in 61 readings: circulatory incoordination (52); circulation (41); insomnia (35); Neurasthenia (22); debilitation (16); hypertension (13) abnormal children (12); deafness (11); obesity (11) arthritis (11); and other conditions (170).

The readings suggest that it offers the advantage of correcting possible imbalances, equilibrating body energies, and attuning the vibrations of the body to an optimal state. It is said to stimulate the body and mind to better organize and integrate their functioning. It might also produce an altered state of consciousness similar to those achieved in meditation and creative visualization. Aerospace engineer James Beal has called it a “harmony generator”.

Basically no one has ever fully been able to describe just exactly what this is or what it does. So since I personally use it several times a week, I have decided to attempt to describe my view of what it is, what it does, and why I would highly recommend it to everyone.

The Radiac® is about 8” tall, made of a unique blue plastic and has two electrical terminals at the top of it. Coated copper wire attached to a red electrode and a black electrode, are connected to these terminals. The opposite ends of these electrodes are connected to your wrist and ankle. Literally you plug yourself into the device. No outside source of energy is required. While you are plugged in, you are lying down and are absolutely still. The entire evolution takes about an hour and a half because you have to ‘chill’ the device for 30 minutes prior to use. You literally plug yourself into your own energy supply. It is my own personal theory, that the device cleans your electrical system. Once your body electrical system is fully cleaned, harmonized and rebalanced, the Radiac® helps to keep all of the body systems in a harmonious state as long as you continue to use it regularly.

One key element in using this device is to make absolutely sure that when you are ‘hooked up’ or ‘plugged in to it’ that you maintain an extremely positive outlook. Say prayers, offer gratitude to God, to the world and to those you love for the life you are living. Send healing to the world with a positive, warm, loving heart. Whatever you do, do not use it when you are angry, upset or thinking negative thoughts. All thought is energy. Think about how this might work. You plug yourself into your own body electric and then using the power of mind, you connect to the Divine. That Divine energy is now assisting you in healing/attuning your body. One of the spiritual laws notes that as you help others to heal, so are you also healed – which would literally be the case with the Radiac®.

Stanford University physicist William Tiller offered the theory that the Radiac® balanced the flow of energy through the acupuncture electrical meridians in the body. We are all electrical creatures. That electrical ‘charge’ is the spark of life that continues as long as we are each in a physical body. Lots of things can influence how electricity functions in the body, from drugs and alcohol to electro smog and fatigue. However, think about the last time you could balance your own body electric without an actual acupuncture treatment. Only with the Radiac® device can you do this on a routine basis.

One of the fascinating elements of the device is that it cannot ever be shared with anyone else. It becomes attuned to one user for that person’s entire life. Another amazing question is where does the device get the energy to recharge the user? The sun provides this energy. Your Radiac® machine must be charged in direct sunlight for at least 30 – 60 minutes at some point prior to use. I always have my sitting in a sunny window. The life giving energy of the sun, may literally become a type of ‘lightening in a bottle.’

I have been using the Radiac® since 2008, and I find that my body tells me when it is time to use the device. Many people feel absolutely nothing while using it. I do feel various meridian points either open up or just feel unclogged. I feel energized when I am done, almost as if my electrical outlets had become sooty or picked up negativity in the normal course of living. Once I have given myself some down time, rest and literally re-energizing with the Radiac®, I feel so much better.

There is frankly a part of me that doesn’t really care how it works. The Radiac® enables me to do something very positive for my body and to enjoy my extremely productive down time now and then. I recommend this device to anyone. Imagine that this isn’t a pill, potion, powder, or procedure. Somehow, magically, the Radiac® uses the energy of the sun to help you keep your body in wonderful shape. Thank you Edgar Cayce! Thank you also to Dr. Bruce Baar, MS, ND who is currently the only person anywhere who makes this device.

KS&L 340 Judging a Lifetime as a Body of Work

“I’m fifty years old! What have I accomplished! I feel like my life is slipping by at an ever increasing rate and I am not sure that I can look back and see that I have ever done anything significant. I feel such despair! How can I look at my life and not feel pretty down?”

How will karma judge our lives? That is the critical question and one that we will not get a firm answer to until we each ultimately cross over into the heaven world.

However this still begs the question: how will our lives eventually be judged? What if we never wrote a book, had children, were elected to any office or saved the world to muddle on for another complicated day? What if we perceive that we have lived out an ordinary life? We may or may not have gotten married or had any type of relationship. We may or may not have loved the jobs that earned us a living. We may have lived out a life of quiet desperation, hoping for recognition that never came.

Perhaps we suffered a series of losses, financial, personal, emotional, and for some, even spiritual. How can we balance these losses with how we have lived our lives? We glance back at our past and observe how we handled things. Sometimes we learned and sometimes we just repeated the same mistake over and over. Sometimes we nursed resentments that made us react in ways that seldom made us proud. Sometimes we looked into the mirror and were not always happy with the person who gazed back.

People are so hard on themselves. Perhaps at some point, we have all pondered how we will be judged at the crossover point. Many of us innocently believe that our lives will be judged by that one crystalline moment that will give special meaning to our lives. That one hoped-for moment of frozen-in-time energy that elegantly reflects who we are, is seldom that elegant or clearly defined.

We are the aggregate collection of ordinary moments we have lived each day. Billions of moments put together to create a soul constitute the body of life work that defines us.

Another way to look at our lives is that we are each a jigsaw puzzle. The more complicated we are as souls, the more dynamic a life we have lived, the more pieces there are to our personal jigsaw puzzle. However, every single piece of that puzzle is required to make us complete. Every second, a new piece is added to the puzzle and it will not be complete until the last second of the last breath that we take. For even as we are dying, we are creating karma: in death there is great karmic opportunity.

We cannot tell what a jigsaw puzzle looks like by looking at one piece or one single moment. We cannot even determine what shape the puzzle will be until we have found all the edges and the edge of anyone’s life cannot be determined until the last moment.

Karma must examine every single piece uniquely as well as in the aggregate. We are the sum total of all of our particular momentary parts. Some parts earn us positive karma and some earn us negative karma. However, even in this there are always going to be factors in mitigation that by necessity will preclude any simple judgment.

Karma must also examine our souls as three-dimensional puzzles as well, for each of our puzzle pieces will touch or impact someone else’s puzzle pieces. Like gears in a machine, one gear turning as its neighbor does: every single thing that we do affects someone else in some way. We do not live in a vacuum.

Karma is complicated because souls are complicated and the body of experiences of each person’s life defines that body of work. These include every word we have ever uttered and every single action taken: each one, endlessly balancing another.

Karma is every single action, reaction and ripple affect of those actions and reactions. No life can be fully judged by only one moment. Glancing back over our lives, consider the body of work that we represent. Perhaps we may not wish to be quite so hard on ourselves!
