Codex Controllus Maximus

My mother and her fourteen or so good friends who made up the originating Garden Club in her area called themselves the "dowdy-dirty-sneaker-do-gooders." They weren't dowdy by any means, but they thought it was funny, and giving themselves that name gave a levity to the seriosity of what they were dealing with in the late fifties and early sixties - getting DDT banned.

I remember one day when some small planes flew overhead, and an evil-looking green cloud emerged from each one as it overflew our woods and pond. Within three days, we noticed that there wasn't a single bird, cricket or frog singing day or night. Within a week, the leaves had withered from the trees and grass on our property. Within a month, people were sick as dogs. Within the next month, the dowdy-dirty-sneaker-do-gooders had formed and were getting everyone and his left brother and sister to write congressmen and anyone else "in power" to get them to stop the continuation of using and selling DDT.

At the time, I was about 10. I didn't know what the full economic or political implications of the use of DDT were, but I could clearly see that without taking care of the planet, it certainly couldn't take care of us! I was proud of my ma and the tireless work she and her buddies did. Within five years, DDT was no longer a part of our world where we lived, and although it did take longer for the rest of the world, without that kind of dedication and higher values, no movement would have been made.

By now you have probably been inundated with as many emails of alerts about this Codex Alimentarius thing as I have. As you know, I sent out one, myself, last week. I don't ordinarily get involved in big send-outs like that because I usually feel there are enough people who are awake to get things straightened out without my adding to the fray.

This morning, though, as I thought about this Codex monstrosity, and followed all the probability-strings it winds around each of us who take vitamins and supplements and health products, and who benefit by or practice any sort of energy work, I felt myself wondering what is UP with our gov that it can't leave well enough alone and allow us to get and be the healthy, well and wealthy beings we are.

Introducing....

Here's a short peek into the inspiring weekly reports my friend, Eleanor Haspel-Porter provides with her Human Design System weekly transit reports. I've been getting them for almost 6 months now, and not one of them has been off. I find great inspiration and incredible depth reading her reports. I hope you will see this just in these 2 days' worth of here report from this week.

Simply Your Self™ Daily Report Commentary for the Week

May ushers in gently, considering the energy it ultimately brings in terms of its cosmic support for taking action. The process by which deep inner harmony moves through each expression of manifestation is one that always reflects exactly. What we think becomes reality. However, our thinking reflects a complex process of which we may only be partially aware at any moment in time.

In addition, as you may find in the coming week, you may have several different perspectives all revealing some internal dissonance. Thus, always take care to clarify your areas of desires: mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical to assure that you have securely anchored your core values and that they reflect your true Self.

I.C.E.

Most of us carry cell phones that have names and numbers stored in memory, but yet nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones, or the one to call in case of an emergency.

What if we are involved in an accident or have a heart attack, and the people attending us get hold of our cell or mobile phone—but don't know which number to call to inform our family members? How do they know which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?

A paramedic noticed that, when he went to accident scenes, most people had mobile phones with them, but he didn't know which number to call. He thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.

Since cell phones are carried by majority of the population, he figured that all you'd need to do is store the number of a contact person or person who should be contacted at during emergency as "ICE," standing for "In Case of Emergency". It is a simple memorable method of finding who to contact in emergency situations.

The Secret Is Not

This is an article that caught my eye when I was surfing through Kahuna, Serge Kahili King's site, all about HUNA, the ancient Hawaiian tradition of esoteric knowledge and practices. I studied HUNA (although not with him) for years, and sometimes feel lonely for that flavor of thinking, so I go read the latest. I think you will enjoy this one.

Huna" means "The Secret" by Serge Kahili King

There really is a secret process that allows you to achieve just as much health, wealth, happiness, and success as you can ever desire. The funny thing is, it's never been a secret.

As some people discovered an unimaginably long time ago, the best way to keep a secret is to tell everyone about it, over and over and over again in many different ways until they stop paying attention and forget about it. Then someone "rediscovers" the secret and everyone gets excited about it until it's old news and it gets forgotten again.

Possibly the oldest form of the secret process is found in Huna, a name of convenience given to the very ancient esoteric knowledge of Polynesia. As a word in Hawaiian, ka huna actually means "the secret." Interestingly, this particular word has the connotation of something hard to see, not something intended to be kept hidden. The process itself is described in the Hawaiian proverb, Makia ke ali'i, ehuehu ka ukali (literally, concentration is the chief, energy is the follower), which I first translated in my 1985 book, Mastering Your Hidden Self, as "Energy flows where attention goes."

In other words, to achieve all your desires, keep your focus on what you want, and not on what you don't want, a version of the secret expressed frequently in the Seth Books by Jane Roberts. Other versions of the secret process can be found in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, in Buddhist and Taoist writings, in Yoga sutras and Sufi poetry, and of course in the works of more modern writers such as Wattles, Hill, Emerson, Holmes, and many others. One nice thing about the Hawaiian version of the secret is that it includes specific instructions for putting it into practice. These instructions can be found in the roots of a little-understood Hawaiian word, haipule.
