Doc's Commentary:
Cosmos Beliefs and Practices Part II
When we left the saga of the Wellness Doc and
Cosmos Institute of Holistic Science & Clinic in Part I, we were discussing some
of the reasons the Wellness Doc realized in his life review, which motivated him
to leave the chemical business and search for a vehicle to continue his life’s
destiny. I have no regrets in life because problems I experienced can always be
reframed in a positive expression and a lesson is learned. Following my past
life survey I was able to understand the events in my life and why specific
challenges came my way. The past life survey is a vital step in conducting any
life review attempt. Unless you can understand your life, it would be impossible
to have a true perspective of your life and hence, you are a ship without a
rudder floundering in the winds of life.
At that time in my life when I was searching for
what to do, I knew to be thankful to my spiritual guide for the blessings of a
healthy genetic inheritance. Both my parents were blessed with good health, and
my mother especially took excellent care of my brother and me while we were
developing as a fetus. While all the members of the family understood the power
of the mind to accomplish good, and worked for everyone until a time when it was
put to a severe test. I watched it happen. We didn’t understand environmental
toxins and its long-term effects, but the breakdown started first with my
younger brother. He experienced a significant stressful event, which allowed a
tendency toward alcoholism to blossom into full view leading to adult onset
diabetes, which rapidly developed into a liver disease. While Dick understood
the principles of apocatastasis (see Doc’s Commentary entitled “Why Did This
Happen To Me?”) he couldn’t apply the knowledge when it counted. Hence, when the
major stressful event happened in his life, all these negative events spiraled
out of personal control resulting in an unfortunate untimely passing. It gave me
a wakeup call that started a number of significant changes in my life.
Then the major stressful event happened to both
my previously healthy parents. I can’t remember any contacts they had with the
medical profession other than a few trauma events that were not significant.
But, neither one of them was able to accept my brothers passing. You could watch
their health begin to deteriorate shortly afterwards. Even with their strong
spiritual faith, I believe they were personally blaming God for his passing.
They too had forgotten the principles of apocatasis and its beautiful message. A
decade before Dad’s passing with Alzheimer’s disease I closed the family
chemical business that I’m sure didn’t help. Mother made her transition almost
two years before Dad. By this time they were both in the same nursing home but
in separate wings and I know Dad was aware even though he was in the severe
stage of Alzheimer’s. He was staying around because he still believed he was
running the chemical business and was needed to lead the family. Dad passed
while in the emergency room of the hospital when the nursing home took him there
to investigate a bleeding stomach. Dick’s widow was there and holding his hand
when the nurse went to get the equipment they would require. She said to him
“Dad it is Ok now, everything is find, you can go home to Mom if you wish.” He
looked up at her, smiled, and made his transition in peace before the nurse
returned. I think he was holding onto life because he felt he was needed to run
the family even though his innate desire was to reunite with his wife of almost
sixty years. At Mom’s passing I had saved her ashes because I didn’t think Dad
would last long without Mom. And they demonstrated the theory that couples that
have been together for many years frequently make their transition within a
couple of years of eachother. Then we could have the family memorial service and
Mom and Dad’s ashes would be joined with those of my brother and maternal
grandmother in the waters of Tampa Bay.
My maternal grandmother passed at age 87 and she
also wished to make her transition in peace. She was a very healthy and
wonderful mentor to my brother and me. The whole family learned many lessons
from her and was an inspiration to everyone she met. Her husband had passed on
many decades earlier before I was born. She had never remarried because she knew
she would be with him again in their heavenly home. I had never seen my
grandmother ill so I was surprised when I was told she was in the hospital with
cancer. In those days she was operated on and then sent home to die. She made
her transition two weeks later at home. During my last visit to see her in my
parents home, she told me; “I’ve lived a fulfilled life, I’ve seven of my
great-grandchildren, I’m not needed by anyone any more, all my friends have
already made their transition, and it is time for me to leave and be with Daddy
Bill again.” She made her transition the next day.
All these experiences had a profound influence on
my life. In the case of my grandmother, brother, and father; and to some degree
my mother who died with complications of pneumonia, modern medicine could have
keep them alive for some undeterminable time into the future. But what would
their future have been? It sure wasn’t what they wanted. By the time it was my
parents turn they had the legal tools to insist that no heroic efforts be made
to keep them alive. My grandmother wanted to leave this earthly plane because
she believed her divine plan was completed. In the case of my brother, he didn’t
want to leave because he still had a growing family to influence and was engaged
in a work he enjoyed with the total support of the small community they lived
in. In fact, at his passing the community flew flags at half-mast for a week. I
sat at his bedside the whole day before his passing and held his hand. The only
words he was able to utter were; “why is my body doing this to me?” I kissed him
because I couldn’t answer him.
The realization of the common thread in all these
experiences was that the genesis of our own mortality is of our own making. I
believe we each have challenges along the path of life and how well we handle
these stresses will determine whether we stray from our path and destiny and
start on that slippery slope that leads to our own transition. Hence, the
ability to properly handle stress is a requirement for each of us if we wish to
fulfill our divine plan during this incarnation. This is why the Go With The
Flow became the first program developed by Cosmos Institute.
The next lesson I became aware of was, if we wish
to have a fulfilling life, which means accomplishment of our goals and
maintaining our health throughout life, we must start early. That means the
sooner after you are thirty years of age you begin to understand your destiny,
and make the lifestyle changes that are necessary, the greater is your
probability of success. While modern medicine can work miracles they are engaged
in a contest to keep the symptoms of our illness at bay. I felt that if we
maintained the philosophy that we are responsible for our own health and allowed
mother nature to rule; that prevention of illnesses is more cost effective and
comforting than treating the results by turning our care over to someone else.
Nature has a solution to every problem and if we return to her and learn her
lessons we will be healthier until the completion of our own divine plan.
I am a walking billboard of this philosophy so it
only seems practical to teach others how to stay on the path. I realized there
are four areas that have a significant impact on our healthy longevity, and if
we can teach people to control these areas before it is too late and the medical
community gives up on them, then we can make a significant contribution to the
health of the planet. These four areas of concentration are: stress management,
elimination of substance abuse, a healthy diet, and daily communication with The
Physician Within (the God of your understanding). This is why Cosmos Institute
of Holistic Science & Clinic was developed. In the next two issues of the
commentary we will discuss the how, what, and the future as we see it.
