I am continuing on with the theme of brain health because I think the brain is the one organ which can be the best teacher of health. It’s up to the student to understand this teacher.
If you can take care of your brain’s biochemical health, then you have also likely taken care of the biochemical health of all of your organs, as well as all parts of your being. In this Journal I want to introduce more nuanced considerations which you may incorporate to assist the biochemistry and health of your brain.
This Journal continues with commentary which relates back to the content of a number of prior Journal entries, most notably the ones about minding your mind, minding your meditation, heart electromagnetics, and other kinds of more subtle practices which engender brain health and general health.
In the Haelan LifeStream model I approach health from the 4 aspects of body-mind-emotions-spirit. I call these 4 aspects the quaternary of health, and each is equally important in the health of our whole being. These aspects are not separate individual entities, but exist as the indivisible continuum which is our life. You can focus attention and practice on nourishing any one of the 4 aspects in order to achieve elements of a balanced healthy lifestyle.
You can focus on nourishing the body, the mind, the emotions, and the spirit by using a wide array of lifestyle adjustments and practices which have become well known in our culture over the past 50 years. Such lifestyle practices are also explained in the writings on this website. There are thousands of books and other forms of literature which are now available at the touch of a fingertip which may serve to open your doors of curiosity, learning, and practice. Practice makes the master. Practicing the betterment of one’s precious life serves all.
You can also pick one organ to focus attention on to assist your exploration of your quaternary. If you were to pick one organ of focus in your quaternary I think the brain would have to be the leading candidate. If you study and elaborate on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the quaternary via application of brain health principles, then health will also come to all of the body.
I state this while believing that the heart is the literal center of the quaternary complex. However, the brain’s complexity and biochemical diversity mirrors that of the whole body in a manner which clinical research and science is beginning to make more and more accessible. This same mainstream science is also reaffirming that the principles and practice of living a natural holistic based lifestyle are correct. So, for the purposes of this Journal I shall maintain the posture that if we nourish our brains correctly, then we are nourishing all of our being correctly.
In a prior Journal writing entitled Brain Health and the Degenerative Disease Spectrum I put forth a treatise that all degenerative diseases could be viewed as conditions which exist on the same spectrum of change. The common degenerative diseases of our society have the same common causes: poor dietary choices and poor lifestyle habits are the 2 most common causes of our fall from the graces of good health.
We also have to contend with the growing complexity of environmental toxins. Since WWII the planet has been burdened with an inconceivable amount of petrochemically derived toxins. This problem is now completely pervasive and affects every type of living thing. This is the greatest threat to our health, and to the survival of the planet. This threat is growing in a manner commensurate with the billions of tons of toxins which are allowed to be injected and littered into the ecosystem on an annual basis.
Most people are content to approach health from the physical perspective of treating the body only. After all, our society has been indoctrinated in the post WWII period to abdicate most health decision making and accountability to a medical industry which typically (usually) practices treating the body in a reductionist, compartmentalized, and mechanistic manner with pharmaceuticals and other types of interventions. This approach has led to much bumbling and suffering which has been well exposed in leading medical journals, and hundreds of other publications (see the reading list references below).
True healing by lifestyle reformation is readily attainable and is possible for anyone who is willing to learn how to nourish their lives and safeguard themselves from the lurking pitfalls which exist as degenerative trends in our society.
The medical system that I knew in the 1950s and 1960s as a child of physician parents has deteriorated into a reactionary system of toxic pharmacology, usually prescribed in a mechanically routine manner, to treat a wide array of chronic disease conditions. Dangerous polypharmacy practices have emerged, and this is now extremely common in those over 60 years of age. Polypharmacy is the practice of using multiple drugs in the same patient to treat the symptoms of multiple diseases in one patient. Complicated negative drug side effects, negative drug to drug interactions, and drug nutrient depletions are now receiving appropriate attention. These negative drug effects are known as adverse drug reactions, or, ADRs, and are a leading cause of mortality in our society.
The good parts of the conventional medical industry which are viable, essential, and helpful are the many good interventions for acute emergency and urgent treatments, and this includes a wide variety of very important and helpful elective surgical procedures. This statement includes in its consideration all of the surgical and anesthesia specialities and the highly developed techniques which are offered in these specialities to assist patients in emergency, urgent, and elective procedures. There are also many other types of non surgical medical speciality interventions which are essential, particularly in the cardiovascular, radiological, orthopedic, and obstetrical specialties, as examples.
The ongoing pervasive trend in today’s conventional medical industry of treating patients’ complex chronic diseases and maladapted biochemistry with unnatural pharmaceuticals, while allowing the continuation of the very lifestyle practices and bad biochemistry which created the disease conditions in the first place, must evolve into a more compassionate and natural way of bringing all parts of the patients’ lives back into harmony and balance. The health care industry must take the lead in forging a new standard of treatment to assist society back to health. America has the most expensive health care system on the planet, but also has the highest disease rates and the sickest society. This problem is a tremendous misery and it is bankrupting this culture in ways which extend beyond mere financial considerations.
It is time for trained health practitioners to lead their professions forward into more humane and compassionate forms of natural biochemical science and true healing art forms. It is also time for all of the so-called untrained people of our society to become trained in the maintenance of their own health. The greatest physician lies within each of us. Everyone should learn how to invoke and expand upon the healer within while also learning about their particular limitations with accessing their own healing power. Elsewhere I have written about what I call the Divine Healing Intelligence (the DHI) which exists in everyone. At some point in the near future, medical schools and other clinical research centers will begin to acknowledge and define the science of unseen universal forces, and will learn how to apply these intelligent life forces as therapy.
This is a time when more people could stop being intellectually lazy, irresponsible, unaccountable, and reckless with their lives. We should learn how to take care of our lives with more curiosity and accountability. It is time for people to eschew the common pitfalls of the many addictive distractions which plague our society. I shall not attempt to list these many addictive pursuits, even in an abridged form. You should have a good reckoning of what they are. It is your responsibility to know your own addictions, and begin to remedy them. An addiction is any behavior that we do which comes from a fear of internal growth. Addictions arise in the body, the mind, the emotions, and the spirit.
In order for people of all stripes to move forward we must continue to teach and uphold the tried and true lifestyle habits of health…correctly grown food, proper exercise, proper sleep and rest and recreation, as well as everything which engenders health in the mind, emotions, and in the spirit which graces and sustains our lives.
The mind element works throughout the whole of the body. The body is the field of the mind. In recent Journals I went to some effort to define the science of Heart Electromagnetics in Part I, II, III, and IV. The mind element has its seat of origin, presence, and central organizing intelligence in the heart. This truth has been passed down through all wisdom traditions over time. This truth is now becoming mainstream Western science, especially since the 1970s. The story of this heart science is explained in these 4 Journals on heart electromagnetics. This is not “new” information. It has been passed down forever by the sages who have espoused the truths of all of the great traditions. What is new about this heart electromagnetic information is that it is now being investigated and appreciated for what it really is.
A key principle of true health is a healthy heart which is able to inform a healthy brain of its intentions without having an overbearing brain overriding the messaging of the heart. You might choose to think of developing a healthy brain and heart in a concerted fashion. After all, the 2 organs are already communicating with each other in a concerted fashion, but this is usually in an unbalanced fashion in most people of our culture. You can think of the heart and the brain as existing and cooperating in a unified oneness, and indeed, this is the correct focus. By focusing your attention on nourishing the brain with correct biochemistry and lifestyle practices, the heart will be so nourished, and vice versa.
While much is written about heart health in the 4 Journals on heart electromagnetics, I am choosing to focus on our society’s brain health problem, which is now at epidemic levels of incidence in the population. This problem is completely lifestyle related, even in those who have an increased genetic susceptibility to develop dementia conditions. In the Journal entitled Brain Health, which was posted in March, 2016, I used Alzheimer’s disease as the model of study for how to create a lifestyle of practices which engender brain health. All of the information in that Journal, and its many references, is still accurate and relevant.
More recent substantiation and validation of brain health principles has come forward from the pioneering work of Dr. Dale Bredesen whose 20 years of research is seen in the information and conclusions presented in his recent book The End of Alzheimer’s. The book chronicles how Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented and how it can be reversed in many patients. The science explained in this book is solid, and it all relates to living a natural healthy lifestyle to engender brain health. Such is Dr. Bredesen’s natural discovery, and he admits as much.
I wrote about Dr. Bredesen’s work in the last Journal entitled Preventing and Reversing Dementia.
Dr. Bredesen’s book has been followed by another book by Dr. Daniel Amen entitled Memory Rescue in which he explains the steps of brain health with the acronym BRIGHT MINDS. I’ll cover some aspects of Dr. Amen’s BRIGHT MINDS contribution in a future Journal. If one can practice the natural healthy lifestyle principles of BRIGHT MINDS then one is going to have a very healthy brain, a healthy heart, and a very healthy life.
In addition to these 2 recent books, I heartily recommend any and all of the books authored by esteemed neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, M.D., who has been one of the great thought leaders and exponents of brain health and whole being health that we have been fortunate to have with us in these times. Here is the Amazon listing of his best selling books. In addition, I also heartily recommend that you visit his website The Empowering Neurologist and sign up for his excellent video and email updates on developments in neurology. His interviews with other thought leaders are of the highest quality, as are his presentations of clinical research and studies.
And so, as you can see, there are many fine references available for both lay and professional people to use to learn about the biochemistry of brain health. Perhaps you will consider gifting your doctor with any of these publications. Most of the good education that I have received over the years came to me from patients.
The conventional medical industry has offered little to assist us in the prevention of degenerative brain diseases and the recovery of brain health when one is so afflicted. It is time for the health care consumer to become educated and empowered so that true lasting health can be cultured without having to endure endless meaningless expensive toxic and often hazardous visits to the current form of the health care system.
Perspectives of Universal Truth
Now I want to offer some important perspective and wisdom from one of my favorite thought leaders and writers, Franciscan priest and teacher Richard Rohr, who gifts us with one of his daily messages; this one from November 21, 2017. This perspective has a direct bearing on brain health, heart health, and whole being health.
If something is true, it is true for everyone everywhere every time. It is always true. It has been true forever. Nothing can break real truth apart and make it go away.
This daily message exhorts us to view the world not as we are, but to view the world (deeper reality) as it is. We tend to view the world and events and people not as they are (objectively), but rather as we are (subjectively). Thus, everything just takes on the self referential interpretation of our own viewpoints. In order for us to open our hearts and minds to unbiased and non-judgmental perspectives so that that we may see clearly, we will have to retrain our minds to view things through newer, clearer, and more refined lenses.
To do this we must learn to abandon judgment, biased opinions, and old bad habits of thinking.
The Sacrament of the Present Moment, by Richard Rohr
Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
—Rumi
“Unitive, non-dual consciousness opens our hearts, minds, and bodies to actually experience God in the now. Ultimate Reality cannot be seen with any dualistic operation of the mind, where we divide the field of the moment and eliminate anything mysterious, confusing, unfamiliar, or outside our comfort zone. Dualistic thinking is highly controlled and permits only limited seeing. It protects the status quo and allows the ego to feel like it’s in control. This way of filtering reality is the opposite of pure presence.
We learn the dualistic pattern of thinking at an early age, and it helps us survive and succeed in practical ways. But it can get us only so far. That’s why all religions at the more mature levels have discovered another ‘software’ for processing the really big questions like death, love, infinity, suffering, the mysterious nature of sexuality, and whoever God or the Divine is. Many of us call this access ‘contemplation’ or simply ‘prayer.’ It is a non-dualistic way of living in the moment. Don’t think, just look (contemplata).
Non-dual knowing is learning how to live satisfied in the naked now, ‘the sacrament of the present moment’ as Jean Pierre de Caussade called it. This consciousness will teach us how to actually experience our experiences, whether good, bad, or ugly, and how to let them transform us. Words by themselves divide and judge the moment; pure presence lets it be what it is, as it is. Words and thoughts are invariably dualistic; pure experience is always non-dualistic.
As long as you can deal with life as a set of universal abstractions, you can pretend that the binary system is true. But once you deal with concrete reality—with yourself, with someone you love, with actual moments—you find that reality is a mixture of good and bad, dark and light, life and death. Reality requires more a both/and approach than either/or differentiation. The non-dual mind is open to everything. It is capable of listening to the other, to the body, to the heart, to all the senses. It begins with a radical yes to each moment.
When you can be present in this way, you will know the Real Presence. I promise you this is true. You will still need and use your dualistic mind, but now it is in service to the greater whole rather than just the small self.”
Gateway to Silence: God is right here right now.
Crestone and Beyond
In order for us to be able to embrace new and evolving information about brain health, we have to be able to walk away from the entanglements of old forms of misinformation which have burdened and encrusted our lives. These kinds of misinformation still hold a strong sway and are being prospered by the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and any kind of industry which harms the planet in order to enrich its profits.
In the halls of medical schools all over the country purer basic science and clinical research is coming forward to enrich lives. If only the medical industry could put pharmaceutical usage, and all other toxins, into a more natural perspective, then we might witness an outbreak of health and healing.
Our planetary home is in great peril and has been taken to its tipping point. I have heard from several sources now that up to 78% animal life forms which live near freshwater sources have died off in the past 42 years. This is a staggering statistic which is very difficult to comprehend.
Will we realize that the health of our planetary home and ourselves is one? Or will we just continue on with pervasive corporate destruction of the planet to the point that we will just enable and hasten our own die-off? Or will the planet one day just rise up and shake us off like fleas?
Of course, the risks posed by the rampant activities of the military security complex only amplify the possibility of pending destruction by misuse of current weaponry.
One very good reason we have to keep our brains healthy is simply so that we can do our part in helping to reverse all of the negative planetary trends. And by doing that we will also naturally be helping our brains, and our total health.
I’ll come back in the next Journal with some more information about how we can improve our brain health.
In the meantime, and as you have time for this fabulous 30 minute presentation, please view this video production entitled Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds-Part I-Akasha. As you watch this video, please understand that the entire Universe is enfolded and nestled holographically and fractally within you. Your brain is wired, with your body, for this ultimate spiritual knowing. All of the great wisdom traditions have tried to help us understand this principle.
