My lifelong friend Sean, took my motorcycle for a ride on beautiful fall day and did not return… I heard the fire/rescue whistle (1981) tooting out the location of an accident or a fire and thought nothing of it… Turns out Sean T-boned a car who pulled out in front of him doing an illegal U-turn on US Hwy # 1, after picking her children up from school.

It wrecked Sean, totaled my motorcycle, and Nina D’s car needed to be towed away as well… It was not a winning afternoon for anybody… everybody lost something precious… While Nina’s car was repaired, my motorcycle replaced, and Sean eventually healed… He never recovered.

While Sean and I misbehaved too much in grade school, and were high throughout much of high school… This incident and the high-powered drugs used during his long healing…launched Sean into a different trajectory from which he never recovered. In fact, it was downhill from there on out… he had acquired a new “Dis-ease” that slowly stole away everything worthwhile in his life, until he died ten years ago (2014) a man I no longer knew.

My trajectory was altered nine years before, as Sean partied his way through the last two years of High School, I had dropped out and joined the U.S. Navy and found myself in Vietnam for the Easter Offensive in 1972… And picked up my own Dis-ease which at the time was diagnosed as “Anger Issues” … fifteen years later (1987) as “Ramping Substance Abuse” and “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder” was added thirty-eight years later (2010) … It is amazing how so many dis-eases can go unnoticed, all the while, hiding in plain sight.

I started addressing my Dis-ease in late 1987, Sean never did directly address it… He would admit that he had it… but chose never to do anything about it… Unfortunately, Sean like 99% of the people suffering from Dis-ease…they never realize that the “Cure” they found that helps them live with their dis-ease is actually the perpetuator OF their dis-ease. They unknowingly, are keep their own Misery going…

 They never seem to understand that Human Dis-ease takes innumerable forms, producing countless different Symptoms… which is quite misleading and confusing to figure out…But there is only One underlying cause.

    Just like bodily diseases, such as the Flu… One person complains about Joint pain, Another the fever, another chest congestion, another sinus pressure… You would think they were all different diseases because of the differences and severity of the symptoms… Underneath, the single cause is the Flu…

On the flip side there are millions of Symptoms/Causes that make up the endless chain of Human Misery we see on the News each night… MY Personal experiences proved to me, and others, that there is but one underlying cause for all this human Dis-ease… “Self” which is the last place anyone thinks to look.

The “War on Drugs” began June 17th, 1971, — 53 Years ago!!

The “War on Drugs” was begun by President Richard Nixon on June 17, 1971… 53 Years ago…In the past YEAR we have lost about 112,000 people to substance abuse… almost Twice as many Americans that died during the entire US involvement in the Vietnam War… Proof Positive that what we are doing is NOT working… We are completely missing the boat on these issues of substance abuse, and many, many more.

• Almost 50,000 Americans committed Suicide last year…
• Mental health illness rates were significantly higher for adolescents (about 50%) and young adults (about 30%).
• Anxiety disorders are the highest reported mental health issue in the U.S. with 42.5 million Americans suffering from this illness.
• Women experience depression at twice the rate of men.
• Serious mental illness costs the country more than $190 billion in lost earnings every year.
• An estimated 26% of Americans ages eighteen and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder.
• Almost half of Americans will experience an episode of mental illness in their lives.
• There are 4.5 million children in the United States diagnosed and living with anxiety.
• ADHD, behavior problems, anxiety, and depression are the most common mental disorders affecting children.
• 322 million people worldwide live with depression.
• *** Ninety-five percent of college counselors report that mental health concerns are growing on their campus. ***
• Almost eight hundred million people suffer from mental health disorders worldwide.
• It is agreed that ALL these numbers are much Higher Than is being Reported… The 112,000 who died from overdoses are just the TIP of the iceberg… Under them you have all the ones brought Back by Narcan, and medical intervention… under that layer are the ones currently losing jobs and families… under them the ones waiting to overdose currently locked up in Prisons for drug related crimes… below all that, the children being raised in the Emotional, Physical, and Mental insanity of self-destructive addictions… the Ultimate Human Dis-ease of Self-destruction.

Dis-ease is the Major illness facing all of humanity… but in 2024 it is estimated that 57.8- Million Americans, almost 20% of the entire Country, had a diagnosed mental illness… But only 43% (24,854,000) received any kind of mental health “Care”.

Using the word “Care” denotes that you know what is wrong… which would tell you what needs to be fixed and/or healed… and that pinpoints what type and level of “Care” is required.

The ever-increasing numbers of deaths, depressions, addictions and dependencies, crime and violence indicate that we Don’t Know What is Wrong- What is Causing this universal downward spiral… so our well-meaning and compassionate “Care” is not curing anything and is not even holding the line… “Care today consists of treating the Symptoms and making those suffering from Dis-ease as comfy as possible as the afflicted slowly get worse.

Health “Science” (systematic study) of today is in a “Catch 22” of its own as most research is currently “Pharmaceutical Science” (a multidisciplinary field that studies the scientific aspects of drug discovery, development, and manufacturing.) In other words, it looks for the underlying causes of Dis-ease and Diseases only in the “Corporal/Corporeal” world. (of the body…relating to a person’s body, especially as opposed to their Spirit)

While current world health science will acknowledge “Psychosomatic” illnesses, which are caused or aggravated by the mind’s (corporeal) interactions with Emotions (non-corporeal), they currently give little or no consideration for the overall health influences of both Spiritual, and Emotional, integrating together as in a total sense of “Well Being.” Talking about the flipside of pharmaceutical medicine seems to be very Taboo in today’s media.

 Health Science is beginning to better understand the far-reaching impacts of traumatic (emotional) events on the overall health of individuals… Unfortunately, they seek only pharmaceutical solutions and focus on the corporeal impact symptoms of a (non-corporeal) Spiritual injury.

The Laws of “Physics” (Science of Matter and Energy) are understood and accepted as being universal and immutable… All of us observe these laws in action everyday… for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction…What goes up must come down, on and on…

     It is also not surprising that everything in our world has an opposite; Up/Down… Light/Dark… Hot/Cold… Happy/Sad… Hatful/Loving… In fact, I cannot name something that does not have an opposite.

   Logic would dictate there must be a Spiritual or at least a non-corporeal (not of the body/beyond the body) aspect of our existence. While there are innumerable writings and firsthand experiences about these Spiritual aspects of existence, which range from petty/punitive to miraculous/supernatural, that ironically mirror the same range of experiences in our daily lives upon this planet today… petty/punitive to miraculous/supernatural... These parallels in creation/existence would mandate that there are some sort of “Laws of Spiritual Physics” (Science of Ethos, Emotions, and Spirit) at work, just as universal and just as immutable as the laws governing matter and energy…

Sadly, the vast majority of Humankind is Ignorant (lacking knowledge or awareness) of the flipside of our own existence… and those who are not Ignorant of these facts…  Cannot seem to agree on anything… except that there IS a flipside to our Earth-Bound existence… However, that is about as far as Mankind has gotten in the past few centuries… we seem addicted to arguing about who is righter… rather than joining forces to learn more together, as we discover the Science (the ongoing study) of Spiritual Physics… Just as humankind did when exploring the Physics of Matter and Energy.

Our ongoing defeat in the war on drugs, the ever-increasing Divorce, Suicide, Depression, Juvenile Violence rates and a growing list of other Social Calamities show we are failing across the board… (Hell’s Bells Batman! What do we do Now?)

We have been slowly mastering the Planet, Vast Technologies, Food Production, Instantaneous Worldwide Mass Communication, Health, and Aging… We are conquering everything in the realm of Matter and Energy… At the exact same time, as most of us are committing suicide on the installment plan of Dis-Ease and are doing nothing effective to stop it.

We would never enter a fight for our lives with “One hand tied behind our back” yet that is exactly what we are doing… but it’s not our hand that has been immobilized… it’s half of our very existence, that we don’t understand how to access, or how to Harmonizing both “sides”… our insides and our outsides… in perfect harmony together IS the winning ticket we’ve all been searching for… BUT constantly keep missing, because Society is expecting “Government” or something else Outside of us to bestow it upon us… rather than understanding that it is a Personal Journey to Happiness, Joyousness, and Freedom that we first find within ourselves… by the oddest means of helping/sharing with others who are seeking to find the same thing within themselves… this expands one person to a group, the group into a population and a population into a Society.

By no means a perfect society, nor a smooth road to eventually get there… Each gets their own advancement/rewards solely by their own efforts… none can steal, hinder, derail or tax these rewards/advancements… This is truly the biggest “Inside Job” there could possibly be… the “Proof” comes to us by our own experiences, not from a lab or Think Tank, we prove to ourselves that it works when we see our own lives changing… We prove to ourselves the lies we believe by the ways they hold us back blocking or stalling these changes…

Normally, we first see these changes of attitude and outlook taking place in the fellow travelers around us…Only when we feel ready, do we begin this Journey ourselves… and see for ourselves if it works or not.…

All is not and will not be Sunshine and Unicorns as Humankind recovers the totality of themselves… The hidden part, the forgotten part of the human existence is not actually up for debate because like the age-old question of “God” … The “Ethos” IS part of the human existence… Or it is 100% Bullshit… There is no “in-between” … Humankind is currently attempting to live in the “In-Between” and it is not working… we need to try something… Vastly Different, something that helps us individually AND collectively.
