When Healing Looks Like Illness

There comes a point in the process of questioning where merely replacing one explanation with another is no longer enough. The deeper work begins when the new understanding is tested against experience — when an idea moves out of the realm of intellect and begins to change how we perceive, interpret, respond, and ultimately live. That transition can be uncomfortable, because it asks us not simply to question what we have been told, but to question the framework through which we have learned to understand ourselves.

“Remember that people die from healing, not from illness. So, I can either poison the healing system — going the pharmaceutical route — or I can boost the system so it can tolerate that level of healing.”

— Dr. Richard Massey

How we think about illness and disease is backward, even inverted. In truth, when we frame illness and disease as symptoms of healing and adaptation, we may completely alter the trajectory of the healing and adaptation process, as well as our perception of what illness and disease are and how they may be serving us.

Naturally, all the terminology we use regarding health and well-being, and the things we consider to be its opposite, come into play here. Words have meaning. When we say that we are “catching” something, or “coming down with” something, or have an infection of some sort, we are assuming the position of a victim — someone who is being subjected to some sort of imposition or assault.

But when we start to understand, and really comprehend, the nature of how the body works — that the body only heals — there’s no such thing as “coming down with” something, “catching” something, or being “infected” with something. In the more accurate framework, in the truer version of the paradigm, since the body only heals, illness is the symptom of some kind of healing response.

So how we speak about these things, how we tell others about them, and even how we talk to ourselves about them, has to change.

We know viruses don’t exist as described. We know that vaccines only do harm, injury, and the premature ending of lives. We know chronic disease is associated with these pharmaceutical products, and the story behind and beneath the entire validation and justification for these things is fallacious and fraudulent.

But that doesn’t help us when we feel terrible, when our body is aching or feverish, or when we are coughing and sneezing and blowing our nose fifteen times a day for one, two, or three weeks.

That’s the difference between knowing and embodying something.

That’s the difference between living in one paradigm versus another. It’s one thing to know something psychologically, intellectually, or cognitively, but it’s another thing to really comprehend it, to embody it, and to actually live through that paradigm.

And that’s part of the process of shedding one story and one false narrative and embracing another — testing it and trying it out, proving to yourself whether or not there is any veracity to it.

I can write about, speak about, and expound upon how the terrain model logically and reasonably supersedes the fraudulent germ theory. But those are just words, thoughts, and ideas, none of which will have any effect in your life until you actually start walking, being, living, and doing through that knowledge.

To embody the new paradigm is to shift away from the old one, to slough it off like an old skin — an old mask, an old identity, an old personality that no longer serves you.

Identity is a particularly insidious concept in the modern era, as egotism and narcissism have been pushed to the fore through every institution and the various media we are exposed to and engage with all day, every day. Identity is very much weaponized against us because it connects our psychology, our cognitive processes, our emotionality, and our perception filters regarding how we understand reality and how we place ourselves within it.

So to challenge that identity is to shake our whole world, and will likely upset and shake us to the core. But that’s a necessary part of the process.

Again, unless we can start walking and living and being and doing within the new paradigm, nothing will fundamentally shift or change for us. And because pain and suffering and illness and disease are generally rather unpleasant, we will revert to the infant, the child, or the adolescent in whom these ideas were implanted. We will revert to the basics and the first principles as they were introduced and inculcated into us, because for most of our lives, this is the only option we had. These are the only tools we had access to with which we could reconcile and make sense of pain and suffering, illness and disease.

But if you’ve been paying attention, you know now that most of the things that you have been taught about throughout your life — whether it’s about health or finances, relationships or business, religion or government, history and the present or the potential future — are fiction. It’s all based on lies and distortions of reality. It’s obfuscation and distortion of nature and of what life actually is, what it means, and what it can be.

So, on the surface, it may sound simple to let go of the idea of whether or not you can “catch” a cold, and how and what we should ascribe symptoms of healing and healing responses to. In practice, it may not be so easy.

And if we extend that to more complicated, more emotionally charged ideas — such as those that the medical industry routinely attaches to mortality and death — those illnesses and diseases have a far higher charge and energetic capacity. There’s a lot more at stake, or at least we perceive it to be so.

It’s easy for me to say that it’s all based on the exact same functions, that it’s all simply the body doing what it’s naturally doing, that these are healing responses, that it is information for you, speaking directly to you, telling you about your life and your choices and how they may be affecting your health and well-being.

But it’s another thing entirely to fully embrace and embody the idea that someone else told you that if you “boost the system,” as Dr. Massey alludes to, or if leave it alone, let it be, or simply trust the process and allow your body to go through what it needs to do, you could be either severely injured, crippled, or even killed.

And these are some of the fundamental reasons why I constantly rail against cartel medicine and the modern Western paradigm of medicine in general.

Those in the industry are indoctrinated in a certain way. They are brainwashed, programmed, and conditioned to believe the body is a certain thing, and to discount, disparage, and push away any notion of so-called alternatives — ancient, traditional, naturopathic, or homeopathic modalities.

Certainly, they are taught to never consider that the body is simply doing what it naturally and always does, without us asking it to do so.

Certainly not that the body only heals, period.

Certainly not that one should have to live with any pain or discomfort when there are so many ways to numb it, hide it, or obscure it.

But if you can begin to get your head and your heart around the idea that how we’ve all been taught to think about illness and disease is backward, or even inverted, you can begin that journey toward true self-empowerment, toward a true understanding of how nature and the body work, and toward a far greater respect, appreciation, curiosity, and wonder for the remarkable, resilient, and intelligent physical avatar through which you embody and express your life on this earthbound plane.

You will afford yourself the opportunity to begin a new chapter, a new narrative, a new experience based on that which is authentic, real, and true.

And isn’t that what we’re all here for in the first place?

As ever, treat none of this as medical advice.
