You can't sugar coat pain, you can't run from it, it's not going to go away. Psychological pain serves a purpose, just
like physical pain. It is there to draw your attention to something that needs your care. Just like with a wound, you need to pay attention to that wound and take care of it, or else it will fester and get infected. The mere act of paying attention is healing. Thoughts are energy and attention sends energy to aid in the body's healing process. So to is
that true with psychological pain. When we can get past the immediate impulse to deny it, to run away, blame someone, or sugar coat it with positive platitudes, then we can allow ourself to feel the pain, which is actually healing. The mere act of feeling the pain is sending energy for healing. We can then open ourself to the inner lessons, compassion,
and understanding that come from deep within our self; to see the big picture from an elevated perspective. If you deny what is happening, if you run away from it, then it festers and becomes infected. It grows in the dark and controls us in ways we don't realize because we don't want to look at it.

Thoughts for Winter 2010 with Summer Upon Our Southern Hemisphere
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.The Phenomenon of Man (1955)
We only have to look around us to see how complexity and psychic temperature are still rising: and rising no longer on the scale of the individual but now on that of the planet. This indication is so familiar to us that we cannot but recognize the objective, experiential, reality of a transformation of the planet as a whole.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. The Heart of Matter, 1950

The end cannot justify the means for the simple and obvious reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced.
Aldous Huxley
Words Go into the body. So they cause us to be well and hopeful and happy and high-energy and wonderous and funny and cheerful. Or they can cause us to be depressed. They get into the body and cause us to be sullen and sour and depressed and finally, sick.

Thoughts for Spring/Summer 2009 with Autumn/Winter Upon Our Southern Hemisphere
Our collectively stopping the egredious copyright abuse, pirating and theft of the intellectual properties of others on the Intenet, now upon us all, is mirrored in
unanimous consent of the governed. In attunement to my spirit, I re-cognize (re-think) and am re-minded (recall in memory mindfully), through the following passage from the opening of the Declaration of Independence, principally authored by Thomas Jefferson:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
The quill, focused and pointed on both ends, was smooth in its kinthesthetic strokes on paper, because the better angels within each of us keep us in balance, holding the truths that are self-evident that were expressed through Thomas Jefferson. In all change process, transparency and service, these words are to be kept alive in everyone's flesh and the rhythms of all our species walk. All the better angels within each of us, are to have free expression on the Internet in the best places that we choose according to the better angels guiding all of us.All authentic authors fervently preserve the living kinesthetics of harmony within their talk and walk. Those who have not yet mastered their predatory habits, who parrot, plagiarize and thieve the works of others, are always called to task by their own ignorance and ignoring Source/source of the very words they pirate.
The keyboard, HTML language, and electrons switching on or off have now extensively replaced the quill, but the process of keeping words focused and pointed wherever they are shared are to preserved daily in both our talk and walk. These processes remain the choice of the author, artist, entertainer, visionary and innovator. Every creator of a work, website, blog, forum, social network and media, have the intrinsic responsibility to listen to the guidance within from those better angels in what, how and where they continue to present and disseminate information. This author is declaring his own process so that the thieving political bands which have connected them with another, so prevalent now among our corporations, institutions, and the Internet and other media,, dissolve... as the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation from one an other.
I have been asked by the readers of my articles and Healing Thoughts Page why I have posted no new articles or Healing Thoughs for 2009 excepting the above. At the following link is my January 27, 2009, US Postal Certified letter to President Barack Obama with nine copies that went to his senior officials including the First Lady, Vice-President and his wife. This letter shares the matters of my talk and my walk on the Internet to answer the queries that you, the readers of my website have been asking me about. Particulars, addressing the abuse of the Dark Night of the Soul Is The Gift of Illumination in Higher Consciousness article are also included in my letter to the President. I will let you, the readers, know on this, my Healing Thoughts Page, if I receive a response from him or any of his staff. The hypertext below will take you to my letter.

In addition to the words above we may contemplate Ben Franklin's insightful consciousness and profound wisdom that he openly shared at the end of the constitutional convention. He comments directly on inviting the guidance of Light and Illumination for the building of a new nation while warning us about what leads to division and despair.
In this situation of this assembly, groping, as it were, in the dark, to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection. Our prayers, sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending Providence in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, sir, a long time, and, the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth--that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed, in this political building, no better than the builders of Babel. We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded; and we ourselves shall become a reproach and by-word down to future ages. And, what is worse, mankind may hereafter, from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing governments by human wisdom, and leave it to chance, war and conquest.
I choose to share with the readers of my website, that the Stumbleupon social network has refused to remove my articles posted within the atmosphere and context of their website that gives any of their members the means to post, mock and degrade any author's copyrighted work out of the context of the author's website and the author's chosen websites for distribution of their works. I recognize and encourage you the readers of my articles within the context of my website, to re-cognize (re think) this matter as a copyright violation. They, like so many of our corporations and financial institutions now, state that they can do anything that they want and call it "fair use" of something that does not belong to them. What gives Dracula his power is that people in fear, habitually can ignore that something terrible could be happening to them or to others around them. Remember that Dracula cannot stand in the Light. Is it any wonder why dracula cannot see his own reflection when he looks in the mirror?

Thoughts for Autumn/Winter 2008 with Spring/Summer Upon Our Southern Hemisphere
As I reflect upon the seemingly overwhelming global intensity, my spirit has drawn me to these words that deepen reflection on the boomerang of political, financial. fuel, energy and global warming crises that are now upon all of us.
We are here to learn to make decisions with clear choice in place of our many intense fears. As we practice this life lesson......we learn.

It is difficult but not impossible to conduct strictly honest business. What is true is that honesty is incompatible with the amassing of a large fortune
Mahatma Gandhi
Unmastered fear in our leaders is disguised through their attempts to maneuver and dominate the free choice given within the spirit of each of us.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Aldous Huxley
Greed is a dam that stops the flow of life itself. The invitation to be attuned to our spirit within, is always there to remove the blockage and restore the flow.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
What is a man if he is not a thief who openly charges as much as he can for the goods he sells?
Mahatma Gandhi
The ego doesn't let us see what really needs to be done because it sees only its own mirrored sphere; a bubble filled with the projections and reflections of its own limited reality. If you surround yourself only with yourself, that is all that you will be able to perceive.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
We can know that any healing accomplished with harsh or empty words devoid of Spirit, can lead to harm rather than health. Equally important, we each have the potential to have profound positive effects on one another
Dr. Darryl Pokea
Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Our health and wellness is a reflection of the extent to which we are "intune" with compassion and reverence or "detuned" with gossip and thoughts of ill will.

Thoughts for Summer 2008 with Winter Upon Our Southern Hemisphere
The divine eternal fullness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving & self-interest of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing and acting.
Aldous Huxley
It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Mahatma Gandhi
Chatter is the expression of clutter in a disquieted mind.

Unmastered fear in our leaders is disguised through their attempts to maneuver and dominate the free choice given within the spirit of each of us.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
Forming separations from one an other is antithetical to being. These addictions to archaic paradigms in the mind can dissolve. Healing resumes through heart-felt connections to one an other. Under the guidance of our spirit within, we can return to participate in the flow of rhythmic harmony with nature and the resounding Uni-Verse.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
The more we postpone facing the imbalances we have formed through our current infrastructures, the more difficult will be our return to balance.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.
Thich Nhat Hanh
In our collective life lessons, we have ignored our deepest fears within that repercuss throughout our world all about. We must fully embrace that which needs to be healed so that healing may begin.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
African Proverb
There is no energy to waste in reacting to the many troubles generated through our unbridled consumption. Rather than perpetuating circular fears of reactions, place all of your energy into reducing your individual consumption.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education.
Aristotle
Regardless of whatever presentation we make about ourselves on the outside, we are all dealing with the same stuff on the inside. A true master, whose talk is aligned with their walk, supports everyone discovering their own mastery, from their own genius, their spirit within.

Thoughts for Spring 2008 with Autumn Upon Our Southern Hemisphere
Everything we experience, the Highest Consciousness Simultaneously Experiences. The Response to All is Love, with Infinite Invitation for us to learn the same.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
Any time we exclude, we occlude portions of the arterial system that supports life in our body or someone else's body. Is it any wonder why there is so much heart disease?
Dr.Darryl Pokea
If we vote for the candidate who is most adept in disguising their many heartless blockages, then what have we done to ourselves and to the entire nation? A discerning voter recognizes whenever the candidate's words are from the heart or just tactical spin
Dr. Darryl Pokea
We must face and embrace that which needs to be healed first, in order to heal. Our spirit continually invites us to heal, awakening us to who we really are through the experiences and events in our lives. The personality, dominated by ego, blocks this first process in healing and prevents any learning in life. Is it any wonder why we may observe so many now, refusing the invite of their spirit by passing their troubled personality onto others, only adding to the troubles in this world?
In the gift of life, we are given a full continuum of experiences that range from turmoil to quietude. In quiet solace, reflecting on all experiences, we may learn about our true self, the healer within, our truly loving spirit.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
It is common now to succumb to a most imprisoning illusion that is percolating throughout our belief systems. This illusion forms when you believe you can be happy within the compartmentalized constraints of a box manufactured by minds that know nothing of spirit, creative thought, or humanity.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
Many societies have socialized and conditioned us to look for relief from pain outside of ourselves. This leads to using others as containers for our pain that consumes them. It further promotes addiction in endless consumption through driven purchases of goods and entertainment. Each person must learn to embrace their own pain. There is no escape possible when we project our pain into others or deny it through entertainment and self-medication. Only by embracing our pain, can we learn to deal with it and learn to transform it. This liberates our mind and body from so much suffering.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
The foundation of all mental illness is the avoidance of legitimate suffering.
Carl Gustav Jung
Every matter returns to us as a boomerang in our life lessons. Whenever fear expresses through narrow group mind sets and actions that seek dominance and control, we each have choice. We can continue the endless downward spin driven by the fear that further clouds our consciousness or we may wake up and be internally aware. This awareness restores our participation in the natural cycles, rhythms and flows within living reality. All life is sustained through Intrinsic Sacred Balance.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
What the mind focuses upon matters. Our spirit invites us to heal our inner world first, each time we experience any imbalance in the outer world.
A focused mind, guided by spirit, awakens the sacred balance always, and in all ways.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
What we have been avoiding for so long is Now becoming unavoidable.
Dr. Darryl Pokea
The whispers of Spirit, resonating within each of our spirits, cannot be driven away amidst all the clamor and disrupted rhythms within these, our times. We have a choice to walk the way of the heart, whenever possible, in rhythmic, smooth steps, beat by beat..
Dr. Darryl Pokea
The ego doesn't let us see what really needs to be done because it sees only its own mirrored sphere; a bubble filled with the projections and reflections of its own limited reality. If you surround yourself only with yourself, that is all that you will be able to perceive.

Thoughts for Winter 2008 with Summer Upon Our Southern Hemisphere

It is alarming how many so called Spiritual and Informational Websites are claiming expertise, while they are thieving the intellectual property of others without regard for authors, artists, musicians, photographers, website designers, and their talents, creativity, insights, innovations and their efforts that produced them. These website owners and their staff have appointed themselves as disseminators of information when they fake expertise, distort information, and pretend to be concerned about bettering the human condition. They post creative works without the permission of the person who created them.
These unscrupulous websites, their forums and their blog members dilute and even dissolve the information and insights. They are unable to address any questions with a genuine response, because they have not the talent, knowledge, integrity or creativity that is within the author or artist who originally created the work. Copyright All Rights Reserved intends to protect both the individual's work and the public by allowing the creator of a work to decide where their creative work is disseminated. These pilfering websites are antithetical to everyone's humanity; the author, professional, artist, and public alike. Their disregard of copyright, disguises their own self-hatred. This ill-will spreads like a cancer throughout all who participate in their websites, forums and blogs.
We each have choice as to whether we reject or support such thieving corrupt websites, their tainted information, their products, their forums and their blogs. If such copyright abuse continues, these perpetrators of ill-will, will soon destroy future postings of all creative works and information of any real value on the internet. We must each ask ourselves if we wish to participate in such theft and its destructive consequences. The theft returns to affect everyone in a boomerang effect that severs authentic internet connections with talented and creative individuals who wish to share their valuable information, insight and creativity on the world wide web.
There is nothing spiritual about the theft of any intellectual property on the internet or elsewhere. All our artists, writers, journalists, professionals, speakers, musicians, composers, innovative thinkers, inventors, even writers of the program language we use on our computers and the internet service providers earn their living this way. They must be able to support themselves both before, during, and after their creative endeavors to continue their best work, and they alone have the wisdom to choose which websites of integrity that they wish their works to be posted on. It is important that we all keep this in our consciousness as we enjoy their intellectual property through their inspirations, information, creativity and service that preserve and express the heart of our humanity.
