]]>In January 2010, five Republicans on the Supreme Court gave foreign corporations a Constitutional right to buy Congress and our next President.
If foreign corporations want to buy our elections publicly, they can simply create U.S. subsidiaries. If they want to buy our elections secretly, they can launder their money through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which aggressively raises foreign money, or through Karl Rove’s secretive American Crossroads GPS, both of which are spending millions in this year’s elections.
That means foreign leaders like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Hu Jintao of China, and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia can use their enormous wealth to steal millions of American jobs, keep us dependent on foreign oil and even make us fight their wars.
The Supreme Court put America’s national security in danger. They were absolutely wrong and their ruling (Citizens United v. FEC) must be overturned.
Urge your Representatives to co-sponsor the DISCLOSE Act to require full disclosure of all corporate campaign spending and ban foreign corporate spending.
Urge your Representatives to co-sponsor the Shareholder Protection Act to require public shareholder approval of all corporate campaign spending.
And urge your Representatives to co-sponsor a Constitutional Amendment to keep all corporate money out of American politics.
]]>The mission accomplished against such great odds, in such a short time, ahead of schedule, and with constant audio-video feedback, was the wonder of the world, and an inspiration to all of us, a welcome respite to the onslaught of negative news that crowd the airwaves. The strength of character, resiliency, resourcefulness, team spirit, project management, coordination, courage, calculated risk-taking, genuineness, sense of humor, and enthusiasm displayed by all was a source of pride, not just for Chileans but for the world at large. Above all there were constant prayers from within the mine, and from the families and friends outside the mine. Their fierce Spirit was broadcast all over the world.
Two sentences in the National Anthem portray their Spirit: * Que o la tumba seras de los libres, o el asilo contra la opresion.*

Their pictures clearly depict the before and after state of their land if the “Aysen Hydro-electrical Enterprises” are allowed to “follow the money” while destroying the environment.
I certainly wish we could have had the foresight to have the equivalent before and after pictures of the Gulf of Mexico before this disaster happened. Except no one would probably have followed them because greed’s voice is louder here…And we had pictures and stories of very similar spills and tragedies caused by BP before. We didn’t listen. Do we need a two-by-four? Hopefully this will be our wake-up call. But this wake-up call is not just for the enlightened few, but for all of us. Remember J.F.K.’s dictum? “Ask not what my country can do for me, but what I can do for my country!”

FROM: Dr. Gita Elgin, Representing THE HOLISTIC VILLAGE http://holisticrenewal.com/holistic-village/enter-the-holistic-village.html
RE: CELEBRATING MEMORIAL DAY AS A DAY OF SERVICE
DATE: 5/31/2010
Dear Service Men and Women:
I appreciate what you do for us, which is beyond the usual “protect our country:” you set an example of sterling character traits, which —like the star of Bethlehem — guides us to transcend our petty egos and reach out to our Higher Self, and do for others. In the process, you risk your lives and your physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being, and that of your families.
As a Holistic Psychologist, I will follow your example: I will offer you help in overcoming the emotional trauma you and your families have gone through with this war. I will do so without cost to you, dedicating a day of my week, through September, to help you re-integrate back home, and leave behind the nightmares you have gone through, so that they don’t haunt your future, but the valuable lessons learned enrich your life. It is my humble offering to your heroic lives.
Feel free to leave your name and phone number at my office: 760-445-7244 and schedule an appointment. If you are not local, this can be done over the phone and by email: DrGitaElgin@HolisticRenewal.com.
May God always bless you and your families.

]]>Every time you remember them, pray for them and visualize them reconnected with the divine, as God’s Love flows through them and around them. Forget the tarnished TV images and remember the happiness and glow of the new mothers with a baby being born after the earthquake.
Remember the image of the three presidents committing to help Haiti recover, and how they praised the resiliency of the people.
Remember plane after plane arriving to help. Doctor after doctor doing triage, surgery, and relief. Psychologist after psychologist trained in disaster preparedness work with the Red Cross to provide emotional and psychological relief.
Let us take this opportunity to resurrect Haiti from its poverty, illiteracy, and joblessness a country able to thrive and takecare of itself. Let us change it’s consciousness from victimhood and dependency, to one of self-resiliency, love, care for one another, and entrepreneurial spirit.
From a backdrop of self-hatred, as stated by Elizabeth Ritza Vieux:
If we decompose the word ‘haitiens,’ phonetically we get ‘Hai Siens’ = qui hait les siens (One who hates his own).
Isn’t it quite a reality in our country, where hatred is like a disease acid that corrodes our country, where one hates the other and usually for no particular reason… it’s been like this since the beginning…
I believe that a name can have an important impact or influence on: a person, an animal or why not a country. I heard from my grand mother of a girl whose name meant something like veuve = widow. She got married 3 times, and each time she would lose her husband (by death). This might not be related to her name, but who can say that it was not either… Haiti which I see as a negative word.
Let us move to a backdrop of a paradise island with wonderful people. Haiti then means Ha IT I “Hi, IT (God) is with me (I).”

The following is excerped from the book, Sing Your Own Song, Dance Your Own Dance.
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
— Matthew, 4:4.
Medicine has its limitations. Life force has none. — Paramahansa Yogananda, “Scientific Healing Affirmations”
The book of Genesis has it that God made Adam of clay and breathed life into him. The clay, of course, represents the material substance of the body. The divine breath gives it life and energy.
The Vedic tradition tells us that, with every breath we take, we draw in prana through the medulla oblongata, the mouth of God. From there it flows into the spine and brain and on to all the organs and tissues of the body, infusing them with life and energy with the power and the intelligence to carry on vital functions, to regenerate, and to heal.
Call it the breath of God, call it prana, or call it chi: life force is the essence of all health and healing of life itself.
The flow of life force may be obstructed by physical injury, infection, improper diet, substance abuse, genetic factors, stress, lack of sleep, worry, and a host of other negative events, conditions, and patterns of thought, feeling, and lifestyle. Such impairment of the free flow of life force leads to physical and mental disability, disease, even death.
If the blockage is minor and its duration brief, then simply eliminating the negative conditions or patterns that caused it in the first place may be enough to put you on the road to recovery. In time, life force reasserts itself and restores health. Imbued with intelligence as well as power, life force knows just what to do and goes about doing it.
But when the blockage is prolonged or severe, life force may withdraw, partially or totally. Or it may settle into a pattern of reduced effectiveness. It no longer suffices to just re-establish the external conditions that allow life force to operate freely. You may have to employ special methods and techniques to stimulate the life force and coax it back into its normal course. Such measures may be helpful for minor problems they are generally indispensable to recover from a serious injury or chronic condition.
It is customary to speak of just three aspects of manifestation body, mind, and spirit. However, the pyramid above differentiates the physical body into energy and form, thus yielding four aspects. This fourfold representation frames the discussion of specific approaches, models, and methods of health and healing in the rest of this chapter as well as throughout the rest of this book.
To work its wonders of health and vitality, life force must flow through all aspects of being: from spirit to mind, to energy, and finally to the physical form. To maintain or restore health and vitality, you need a continuous flow of energy, and a balance among the different energies. For this, means and methods that focus on the physical form are not enough. You must also cultivate mental and emotional harmony, engage the will, and connect with Spirit.
Models and methods of healing are incredibly numerous and diverse. To make sense of this almost boundless profusion, it helps to keep in mind two important points.
Physical Medicine works on the physical body directly; it affects the life force indirectly. Clean a wound and protect it from injury and infection with a bandage, and it will likely heal. The physical measures establish favorable conditions, and life force does the rest. You can also use physical methods to set broken bones, pump poison from the stomach, remove warts with cryonic surgery, or correct vision with lasers. Chemical substances can address a wide range of problems: antacids to neutralize an acid stomach, analgesics to reduce pain, antibiotics to combat infection, and so on. Often, physical and chemical interventions are but temporary, stop-gap measures. But they can also help to establish the conditions that enable the life force to do the work of healing and to maintain vital functions.
Energy Medicine seeks to unblock, harmonize, and balance the bodily energies. Here the focus is less on correcting or compensating for specific physical conditions and circumstances, and more on restoring and enhancing the free flow of life force. Thus, for example, in dealing with your acid stomach, Chinese medicine will not bother with antacid pills to neutralize the excess acid. Instead, it will seek to restore the balance of energies perhaps soothe the liver with herbs, or use tuei na to change the flow of energy in the meridians and thus stop the excess production of acid.
Thought Medicine helps you to overcome a problem or challenge by changing the patterns of thought and feeling that set it in motion. It helps you to connect with Spirit and transform the mind, and thus open pathways for the life force to heal the body.
Spiritual Healing, or Causal Healing, touches your inmost Self to unlock the flow of life force from spirit and heal all aspects of your being.
Over the ages, these four basic approaches have given rise to many models and methods of health and healing. Each model derives from a particular historical and cultural context. Each one understands the nature of man differently. Each has its own definition of health and illness, and its own methods and techniques of treatment.
]]>
With holistic psychology, we take a journey into the real Self. The elements of holistic psychology provide us the means to plan the journey and to carry it through.
The Holistic Paradigm reframes the terms of our existence and helps us to understand our multidimensional nature. It has four facets.
Our Multidimensional Nature
We are unitary yet multidimensional beings, with physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects, manifesting in a physical, social, and cultural context.
Material manifestation is but one aspect of reality, one aspect of our multidimensional nature. Figure 5 depicts the multiple levels of manifestation: Spirit/Soul, Thought/Mind, Energy Body, and Physical Form. At each level there are specific effects that correspond to personal goals.
Connection With Spirit
We encounter Spirit within ourselves, and in all creation.
Our powers of thought, concentration, and consciousness give us the ability to go beyond material awareness and experience transcendent levels of reality. Figure 5 suggests the pre-eminence of Spirit, the source of our being.
The Flow of Manifestation
We manifest Spirit as thought, as energy, as activity, and as material form, in that sequence.
Each of us creates things in the world. We also create our own self. This personal creation follows the same laws and patterns as the cosmic creation described in the Bible. In the beginning was thought (Logos, the Word), then came energy (“Let there be light”), and then finally the material universe took form. Nothing comes into manifestation without this three-step process.
Thought is the starting point of all manifestation. Thought can generate any condition — misery or bliss, love or indifference, poverty or prosperity, illness or health. Thought determines the form and nature of any object — face or figure, script or statue, train or toaster. When thought has formed the blueprint, the stage is set for energy to flow, and then finally the material form takes shape.
All methods of health and healing — physical, mental, and spiritual — rely on the flow of life force. Life force is the essence of all health and healing — as it is of life itself. It maintains and restores all bodily functioning and physiological processes. Imbued with the intelligence and the power, it knows just what to do, and goes about doing it. To allow life force to flow freely, we overcome or remove physical, emotional, and mental obstacles. To enhance its flow, we focus conscious awareness and will. Various methods of healing address different aspects of manifestation. Figure 5 shows the four levels of manifestation and the corresponding approaches to health and healing. The closer it comes to the apex of the pyramid, the more effective an approach to healing is likely to be. Physical methods can be helpful, but they cannot go to the source of a deep-seated problem. The results are often superficial, transient, and characterized by untoward “side effects.” Methods that act on the level of energy are still limited in scope and duration, and may require repeated application. For healing that is fundamental and long-lasting, you must change the patterns of thought.
The Holistic Paradigm not only sets the basic direction for holistic psychology and holistic health, but also gives rise to the holistic principles, which provide form and substance. The holistic principles guide us in our search for the Self. They illuminate our path to holistic health and healing— beacons to both seeker and guide
Holistic psychology affirms the integrity of the person as a multidimensional being embedded within larger wholes — the family, the community, the planet, the cosmos. Thus, health is not just a matter of tissues and organs, but reflects the functioning of the whole person, in context. True health means that Spirit flows freely through all aspects of our being, and we freely exchange energy with the world around us. When this flow is blocked or impaired, we experience alienation, powerlessness, depression, even despair and mental imbalance. And we succumb to physical disease.
Western medicine takes a very different approach to health and illness. Its materialistic mindset is narrowly focused on our physical aspect. Its professional ethos emphasizes “medical necessity” — applying medical technology to the physical circumstances.
Modern medical practice is a complex socio-cultural system. It is informed by biological science and other relevant technologies, and it is governed by laws, regulations, and formal codes of conduct. But its dynamics primarily reflect the history and the economics of the profession, and the belief systems of practitioners and public. These belief systems feature a number of cultural icons and myths. These medical myths, and the practices that flow from them, contrast sharply with the holistic principles and with holistic practice.
The Myth of the Disease-Dragon reflects preoccupation with disease and the attendant disregard of the person. Standard medicine is focused on the body, which it regards as the site and the source of illness. In practice, however, its primary focus is not really even the body, nor any other aspect of the person afflicted, but rather the specific disease process. Holistic psychology focuses on the person as a whole, not on the disease. All aspects of a person — physical, mental, and spiritual — enter into and reflect the state of health or illness. Physical health is not separated from mental or even spiritual health. The specific health issues are of one piece with the person’s total existential and environmental situation.
The Myth of the Silver Bullet reflects the desperate but forlorn hope that external agents can be found to overcome any given disease. Standard medicine seeks after remedies and protocols specifically tailored to destroy particular maladies, or to palliate their effects. Holistic psychology puts the focus on healing the person rather than on destroying disease. It celebrates health, and even deviations from health, as unique and meaningful manifestations on the life path of a unique person moving toward a unique goal. To bring about healing, you need to understand yourself as a person, know your goals and the obstacles in the way, and find out how a particular manifestation of illness fits into the overall picture.
The Myth of Medicine Works Wonders pictures the body as a besieged victim to be defended with sophisticated technology. Standard medicine sees illness as a pointless aberration from the norm, caused by external forces buffeting a system that is inherently weak, unstable, and vulnerable. It seeks to shore up the body with the right wonder drug or procedure. If none exists, it will be, must be, developed forthwith. Holistic psychology sees illness as an individual expression that manifests when means of expression consistent with health are blocked. A true remedy addresses the blockage, not just its consequences.
The Myth of Doctor Knows Best invests the medical practitioner with the technical expertise and the responsibility to determine the best response to illness. Only those with proper training and certification may select and apply the appropriate remedies and protocols. The doctor is in the know, and in charge. Holistic psychology guides you and empowers you to use your own knowledge, your own resources, and your own power to heal.
The Myth of High-Tech to the Rescue is the notion that all human problems await a technological solution. Standard medicine seeks to apply more and better technology, not just to ill health, but also to normal physiological processes throughout the life cycle, such as birth, death, sexuality, menopause, and aging. It does not even shrink from medicating normal psychological processes, such as grief and mourning, anomie and anxiety, and the emotional fall-out from developmental and existential crises. Holistic psychology sees you as the primary resource for health and healing. Methods that are consistent with Nature, and with your own particular nature, are best suited to potentiate your efforts.
As the Holistic Paradigm gives rise to the holistic principles, the holistic principles in turn give rise to processes for transformation and healing. Three such processes have been developed within the framework of Mindful Repatterning. All three take you in the same direction, but each one picks you up at a different point along the path and takes you a shorter or greater distance further, depending on the process, the specifics of the situation, and your own “travel plans.”
Holistic Inquiry is a person-centered process to overcome specific roadblocks on the path of life. An illness or other life obstacle serves as a starting point, as well as a prime indication of what needs to happen, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Problems are most readily apparent in the physical dimension. But to identify the causes and remedy them at the source, we go “upstream” along the flow of manifestation — to energy, to mind, and to spirit.
The Crowd of One is the royal road to personal synthesis. The immediate concern may be health, success, or harmony and intimacy in relationships. But the ultimate prize is personal coherence and transformation. The Crowd of One takes up where Holistic Inquiry leaves off. First you identify with, and affirm, the disparate aspects of yourself. Then you harmonize and integrate these subpersonalities around your center of awareness and volition. Thus you clarify your intentions and align your will. You may also explore side-roads, practice holding on and letting go, face your avoidance, and find empowerment.
As you attain a sense of wholeness and integrity within yourself, you also come to appreciate others as unique, imperfect, yet valued beings, with whom you share a fundamental unity through the Higher Self. This sets the stage for an expansion of consciousness. Thus you move seamlessly, from personal integration and individuation, to the quest for transcendental meaning and spiritual unfoldment.
Holistic Renewal incorporates both Holistic Inquiry and the Crowd of One in a process of integration and transformation that is at once structured and individualized. You progress to self- mastery, transformation, and healing, over a series of stages, and steps within stages.
First you explore the particulars of your existence: * Your body: What are its strengths, its vulnerabilities, its ways of coping? How are the energies balanced? * Your mind and your feelings: What are your buried traumas, your unmet needs, your habits, your quirks, your joys, your hopes and aspirations? * Your spirit: What does your soul yearn to express? * Your social context: How do you relate to friends, loved ones, family, and community? * Your physical environment: In what ways does it support you? How does it get in your way?
As you explore these aspects of yourself, and of your circumstances, definite patterns begin to emerge, then coalesce into an overall theme. Once you “get” your theme, you feel it in your gut. You have no doubt that this is you. When your life theme has crystallized, you begin to see yourself anew. You begin to make sense of all the wayward and seemingly pointless patterns and circumstances of your existence. Finding your theme brings a new energy, a new power to follow your bliss — now that you know what it is. You can begin to sing your own song. It was yours to sing from day one, but perhaps you got stuck playing somebody else’s tune instead. You may have put on a good show on the outside, while literally dying inside. Holistic Renewal helps you to reframe the way you live and experience your life. It reveals your true destination. It gives you the map and the tools you need to make the journey. It even teaches you to become your own guide. Once you know the score, you can play your own tune. These three processes have elements in common, yet they are separate and distinct. Part III presents a detailed exposition of each one, with real-life examples.
The transformational processes make use of many techniques, some adopted or adapted from other systems of psychology, others “homegrown.” Holistic Diagnosis is a prime instance of the latter. In fact, as the synopsis below suggests, it is essentially a straightforward application of the holistic principles. To determine your Holistic Diagnosis, your guide helps you to comb through all aspects of your being — your physical/medical status and history, your energy flow and balance, your emotional and mental dynamics, even your spiritual background. But all this in context. Your story remains your story. It does not become a disconnected bundle of facts, dismembered into separate domains relevant to different professions. It is not couched in technical terms only experts can fathom. Rather, the various aspects or strands of the story retain their relationship to each other — and to you. They even gather meaning in the process (Note: Wholeness). Next, you reframe the story into a meaningful account of the choices you made along the way, from early childhood on. You explore how these choices affected your consciousness, your personality, your health, and your life course (Causality/Meaning, and Empowerment /Responsibility). The patterns that emerge from this picture reveal your particular style of coping, as it manifest throughout your life at all levels — physical, energetic, mental, and spiritual (Uniqueness). For healing to take place, this unique pattern or style of yours needs to be understood and allowed to express itself freely (using Natural Methods).
Modern psychology and modern medicine are elaborate edifices constructed to protect established interests. Their rules and procedures are designed to protect professional privileges and maintain the status quo, not to facilitate wellness, healing, empowerment, or transformation. Their technology is based on nineteenth-century materialism and reductionism — concepts abandoned long ago by physics as simplistic and limiting. With their narrow purposes and flawed premises, these professions do not, cannot, reflect the truth about you, as you, me as me. As now constituted, they do not serve us well.
Holistic psychology, on the other hand, offers an ideal framework for personal transformation and healing. Based on a true and complete picture of human nature, it responds more appropriately and more fully to our needs. The Holistic Paradigm leads us to a deep understanding of ourselves. The holistic principles guide us on the path of transformation and healing. The transformational processes and techniques provide the tools to get the job done.

Homeopathy originated over 200 years ago with Samuel Hahnemann, an inspired German physician. By the dawn of the twentieth century, homeopathy had become the dominant mode of medical practice in this country. But the advent of modern antibiotics and other technological advances caused a sharp decline — a decline very much accelerated by the strenuous (and still ongoing) efforts of the American Medical Association to denounce, discredit, and restrict the practice of homeopathy.
By the end of World War II, it seemed that homeopathy was a spent force. The returning troops had forgotten all about it, and those too young to fight had never heard of it. But in the last two or three decades, it has had a slow but steady recovery in this country, as well as a resurgence in Europe and the rest of the world. As of today, the World Health Organization reports that homeopathy is the most widespread and most effective general system of health care on the planet.
Homeopathy is a comprehensive, natural system of treatment that mobilizes your own vital force for healing from within. It goes to the essence of who and what you are — body, mind, and spirit. Homeopathy may be used alongside standard medicine, but it employs no invasive procedures and no medications with toxic side-effects or other complications.
In some ways, the philosophy and practice of homeopathy are directly antithetical to standard, or “allopathic” medicine. For example, standard medicine generally does all it can to counter and suppress symptoms of illness. In homeopathy, symptoms are seen as evidence that the life force is striving to restore health. Thus they are treasured indications in finding the correct remedy to support the healing process. It is somewhat ironic, therefore, that homeopathic practitioners have traditionally been M.D.s, and that many continue to practice a mix of homeopathy and allopathic medicine.
The basic principle of homeopathy is the Law of Similars: “Like cures like.” A substance will help to cure a particular illness if it evokes the same pattern of signs and symptoms in a person who is healthy, as is manifested by the one who is ill. At some level, perhaps the level of energy or thought, this substance presents essentially the same picture as the complex of physical symptoms, and physical, emotional, and mental characteristics of the ill person. It acts at this deep level to mobilize and redirect the vital force, to restore balance, and to effect a cure.
Disease manifests when the internal harmony of health has been disrupted, and the organism attempts to heal itself. Homeopathy pays close attention to the specific signs and symptoms that manifest along with the disease, because they see them as indications of the vital force at work, and a reflection of your unique manifestation. They therefore point to the right remedy for you.our remedy is a substance that, on the plane of energy, presents essentially the same picture as your physical signs and symptoms. It acts at the deepest level to mobilize and redirect the vital force, to restore balance, and to effect a cure.
In chronic situations, identifying your “constitutional” remedy is essential. This requires a comprehensive assessment. To explore your inner workings, the homeopathic practitioner gathers a wealth of detail about all aspects of you as a person, and sifts them in various ways to construct a very specific picture of your unique manifestation. Several sessions may be required, and you may have to try several remedies before you find the right match.
In acute situations, the assessment is focused on what is going on right now, and on finding a remedy to fit the current picture. Finding a constitutional remedy may not be practical and may not be required. Once the immediate crisis has been resolved, a more comprehensive exploration can be launched to resolve long-standing difficulties at the root of the problem.
Homeopathy can be used by young and old, for serious illnesses or for minor colds. For children and adults who have not taken a lot of antibiotics and other standard medications, the results can be truly amazing and swift — practically instantaneous. For children with, say, ear infections, taking a tiny “sugar pill” can be so much less distressing than repeated courses of antibiotics, then perhaps a shunt. Older patients with severe illnesses may require repeat doses of several different remedies, over an extended period of time.
Considerable study and training are required to become a proficient practitioner of homeopathy. The homeopathic practitioner may be licensed as a medical doctor, an osteopath, a psychologist, an acupuncturist, or some other health care practitioner.
