SLEEPING BEAUTY
Why do our bodies seem to break down and cause problems?
It doesn't make any sense when looking at how the body works.
Science has shown over and again the power of our body to regenerate and grow back from nearly anything.
Before we can get a clear picture as to why we are experiencing many of the hormone challenges we have we need to look at a deeper issue that is just under the surface of our lives.
Have you ever wondered why we are the only creatures on Earth that seem to be having a problem understanding how to live?
Why is it that birds just ‘get it’ while we struggle to make ends meet?
Why do bees have the ability to set up shop wherever they want, and yet we have to go through the trouble of confusing social systems just to get enough resources to acquire places to rest our heads, raise families, build businesses, or run nations?
What is it about people that we just don’t ‘get it’?
Why are we having such a challenge figuring out what every other creature just seems to understand right out of the gate?
These are the questions that may initially seem ridiculous to ask.
Many people respond by saying that it’s because we are humans and we have the biggest brains.
We understand how to use tools and create technology.
The thing is, not enough people are asking these questions.
If we take a closer look at our behavior as a species, we quickly see that there is nothing about what we are doing that is anything close to resembling a natural life.
We have all but completely divorced ourselves from the natural world, currently contributing to the pandemic illnesses of our society.
It’s like we are all under a spell, asleep waiting for our savior to finally wake us from our slumber.
WHAT IS THIS PLACE ANYWAYS?
It’s rare to meet someone who is 100% healthy.
In fact, it’s very unlikely any of us ever has.
When we break things down to the levels of hormone health, especially in North America, there is a very slim chance that things are all in balance and working as they should.
We are all systematically indoctrinated into a way of life that is far removed from naturally living on a planet.
If we were viewed from an outsider looking in, we would likely appear as if we’re an alien lifeform out of our respective element.
Or worse, a sickness on the planet.
Remember, we live on a planet that is a so far beyond our understanding when it comes to its functions, forms, and feelings - and thus our place within it - that it is silly to assume we know much of anything.
Until we begin again, as our native neighbors and ancestors did, to connect to the intuitive ‘inner voice’ of the heart, we will continue to flounder our resources and treat this wondrous place as if it is just a bunch of stuff we can take advantage of rather than care for wholeheartedly.
This blinded approach our culture is taking is the root of the demise of our hormone health.
More frequently than not, this is not at all what people want to hear.
Bringing this up in conversation often induces the usual eye roll and deep sighs of pity toward the person bringing up the subject.
Personal accountability can be very challenging.
This behavior is just an automatic response triggered by years of conditioning in a system that needs this kind of reaction for it to continue functioning as it does.
We are, after all, social creatures and we all want to be included in our social circles.
Being respected and thought highly of is often a desirable quality that can quickly become momentarily unavailable if we step out of expected socio-political alignments.
So bringing up controversial issues, issues many of us often don’t have the desire to investigate, can often send us to the sidelines full of awkward glances and hand-over-mouth whispers.
The reason this reaction often occurs is two-fold.
First, people have a hard time taking responsibility for this level of care in a world that is very much built by focussing on the opposite.
Second, the pain of our unconscious folly has to metabolize somehow, and for most, it's just easier to ignore it and push it away rather than face it.
Again, this is another major reason for the pandemic anxiety and depression that is so prevalent in our culture today.
After all, isn’t it easier just to take a pill to suppress your natural instincts and their communication from the body?
Isn’t it more socially appropriate to turn a blind eye to the injustices we see happening to our planet, our neighbors, our children, and to ourselves?
This backward view is, again, at the root of our health issues, especially regarding hormones.
AUTOMATIC ECOCIDE
It certainly doesn’t make it any better to watch the events happening on the world stage with people subjecting us to all kinds of ecocide.
As of the writing of this article, there are numerous atrocities happening all across the nation that affects every area of our lives.
From the disposal of toxic waste to the over-farming of our land we have a lot of work to do just in our own backyard to make sure that we are leaving our ourselves, our children and our grandchildren with a healthy place to live.
This is not even mentioning the challenges presented in areas of the world that are less likely to hold the nation accountable for these atrocities.
Many parts of the world are still continually degenerating, like in many regions where, in the morning, household garbage burning takes place in the backyard of the average homeowner, or in others where clear cutting ancient forests at the rate of 1 football field per minute is an acceptable practice.
These processes are not even considered as locally problematic because it is often happening in the limelight of business.
Big business has to make profits and profits tie in directly to growth.
Growth is often only able to continue by consuming more and more by increasingly vast numbers of people.
Therefore, ecocide - the perpetual killing off of entire ecosystems - is now simply an automatic function of business as usual.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHO, AND WHAT, YOU ARE?
Why have we gone so astray?
Why have we forgotten the sacred rule of Unity, the notion that we are all one big organism?
It would be ludicrous to allow someone to come up to us and allow them to drain our lymphatic fluid just to fuel a pencil sharpener, or to enable them to mine our bone marrow simply to make shoe laces.
Why, then, do we assume we can do the same to our planet?
We've all but forgotten that the Earth is alive.
Realistically, that’s the main pain point right there.
Many people in our world still believe that this planet is not alive.
We all buy into this materialist theory of science that the Earth is just a big rock hurling through space with a bunch of stuff growing on its surface.
The vast consciousness at the root of all of us, the Earth included, isn't even considered as a possibility. So many of us are still unable to observe life as it is.
Just beyond the qualities of what we consider ‘life’ to look like, as in a moving snake or a flowering tree, there are other subtleties we never take into consideration, like bacteria, a heartbeat, or cellular functions.
The same relative process applies for the Earth as well.
We are simply not taking into consideration that Earth is part of a greater body and is operating in much the same way toward us and the solar system as a cell would function inside our body.
A cell just 'knows' what to do in our body in all it's complexity much the same as a planet 'knows' how to function as part of the greater universe with all of its mysteries.
Many of the subtleties of living in alignment with Earths operational mysteries are just whispers in the winds of the ages, leaving most of us walking blind to what life actually looks like just outside of common sociocultural viewpoints.
Are we thus fated to make the same mistakes and suffer the same demise of ill health as every other historical culture has?
LOST, UNLESS WE MAKE A CHANGE...
If we turn to the ancient texts and wisdom traditions, like the Native indigenous cultures, the Vedas of India or the texts of Buddhists for instance, it is stated that even the rocks are full of life.
Even Christians have Jesus saying in Luke 19:40 – "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
There is a rare person in North America that will take a claim like this and seriously look into how it can be the case, and the rest of the world is not far behind in dropping their inquiry as well.
It’s certainly not much of a stretch to understand a lesson such as this, but it does require some education into the nature of the unseen world.
And this isn't even a spiritual statement.
It’s a statement that relies on nothing more than physics.
Everything is all vibration and matter in motion through torsion.
Molecules and atoms, all buzzing around at head-spinning speeds, respond to the life-force inherent at the root of every single physical thing we see, rocks included.
Rock and mineral dust is part of the makeup of organic life everywhere on the planet for a reason.
Not to mention the fact that much of the Earth is made of crystalline minerals, metals, liquids and magnetic fields.
Now, this is perhaps a bit too far down the rabbit hole for a conversation about hormone health but it helps to create a context as to why we are where we are.
The point here is to address the reasons that are just behind the veil of our everyday life and to delve deeper into the reality that we are living within.
Without an intimate relationship with the world we live in, and as, we cannot fully grasp the monstrous decline in the wellbeing and health of all of us, especially when it comes to hormones.
This is one of the cornerstone reasons we age the way we do.
Longevity is intimately tied to our connection to our immediate environment.
If our environment is not supportive of the diversity our body requires to survive and thrive then we are more likely to be continually at a loss for access to high-level health, wellness, anti-aging, and deep-seated connection to our reality.
THE BODY NEEDS DIVERSITY IN THE ECOSYSTEM
You are truly a remarkable creature and are entitled to a life of optimum health and wellbeing.
It is only when we finally understand that we are all part of the intimate network of creatures of our planet, creatures that all need to be living in harmony, that we can claim our place in the circle of life.
The reasons so many people are not experiencing the levels of health we should be experiencing are many.
One of the main reasons is the agricultural system.
In the current scientific model of agriculture, the farmer is led to believe that cutting down the forest, then plowing the remaining areas completely bare, then seeding one kind of plant with petrochemical fertilizers and then spraying them with highly toxic pesticides and herbicides is therefore somehow going to produce the foods we need to nurture our bodies.
This is not in any way to lay blame on the farmers that are growing these foods.
They are often simply moving in the direction that the industry dictates with big agricultural companies and boards calling the shots.
This is a perfect example of how we just do what everyone else is doing because that's how we grew up.
Even though it's harmful, most people don't know what the alternatives are, or that there even needs to be.
Nonetheless, our body is not designed to consume these types of plants.
Chemical agriculture is responsible for the depletion of soils, minerals, bacteria, fungi, and animals that our body REQUIRES for optimum functioning.
Our body is yearning for an opportunity to be fed foods that have been grown with a natural level of biodiversity, the opposite of what is found in modern chemical agriculture.
This is no longer food that our body can recognize.
The biodiversity that goes into growing a just a single ear of corn or a lone stalk of wheat in a natural setting is mind boggling.
And what’s more, in the natural environment these plants are many times more nutrient dense and are naturally capable of fending off diseases, pests and other plants competing for space.
THE PRACTICE OF GREEN PHILOSOPHY
A prime example of this kind of farming is illustrated very well in the classic book ‘The Natural Way of Farming – The Theory and Practice of Green Philosophy,’ by the late Japanese revolutionary farmer, Masanobu Fukuoka.
At the moment it would be hard to find a better and more comprehensive treatise on the fine art and philosophy of natural farming.
Just the casual introduction of his agricultural philosophy of ‘no action’ as well as the use of his clay ‘seed-bombs’ is enough to stir a sociocultural revolution.
If people could understand the ecosystemic implications of just one generation applying this philosophy, we would never again have a problem with the nutrient density of our foods, soil degradation, disease, pestilence, or poisoning our family and environment with toxic agricultural chemicals and GMOs.
In an ideal situation, we would all be living a similar life to the one illustrated therein.
However, it would be nice to have something to do in the meantime.
Ideally, we could turn things around in as little as one generation if we could all listen to the guidance of permacultural revolutionaries like Geoff Lawton, David Holmgren, and the late Bill Mollison.
The urban conditioning most of us are privy to makes this lifestyle relatively unthinkable.
Very few are willing to opt in for a life of modest farming.
And realistically, there is nothing wrong with this.
We simply need to begin engineering our urban landscapes in such a way as to inherit the ways of nature as closely as possible.
This is not something that is going to happen overnight.
This is going to take an increased effort by everyone living in these urban centers to get the initiatives in motion.
We have to demand a shift in the way our current system views biodiversity.
Every aspect of our culture will require a change in the way we are doing things.
Clearly, this is a daunting task.
The question is, what can we do in the meantime to support hormone health in the face of so many challenges from the outside world?
The first step is taking control of our immediate environment and introducing simple things that will emulate the natural world as closely as possible while still enjoying our life the way it is.
Whether you are a person living in a small room with a little window or a large estate in the country there is a plan of action that you can take right now to get yourself on the right track and living the way your body is designed to.
