I've come full circle in a sense - only to discover that I'm not at all in the place I started in!
Please allow me to explain. I am, among many things, a registered physiotherapist with 15 years of clinical experience under my belt. For most of that time I have been on a quest of sorts, seeking something that has felt like it was just at the edge of my field of vision. When I would try to look at it directly, it seemed to retreat. That something is hard to define in words as I often find them an inadequate representation of the magic and mystery of what it is to be human.
In simple terms, I wholeheartedly agree with Wayne Dyer's observation that we are in fact spiritual beings having a human experience. How does that reconcile with my medical background? It doesn't fit easily and yet I know it to be just as "true" as the things I learned in an anatomy lab. For it all to come together, there must be a greater context, one that is big enough to hold it all. It is that context that I hope to explore here and in future postings.
My search has taken me through numerous books, courses, loads of incredible experiences and ultimately brought me to the place where I am choosing to open a very public discourse about where the future might lead us if we are willing to step into new frontiers, if only in our imaginations first.
The science is too compelling to be ignored! We are not what we have been taught to believe. The foundations for our understanding of how the body works are far too old and limiting to serve us any longer. We hang on to our antiquated ideas, seeking to make them somehow even more "right" and "irrefutable" through the steady accumulation of proof. I believe we are well on our way to becoming the snake that eats its tale.
In this mode of thinking, we continue to reduce the space for new thought and innovation. I believe it was Einstein who observed that it is impossible to solve a problem with the same type of thinking that created it in the first place. We continue to apply the same type of thinking to new, emerging issues affecting our health and well being ...along with the world at large, and we wonder why we feel as though we aren't getting anywhere fast enough. We are getting sicker, our planet is getting sicker and our fears are fueled by endless pharmaceutical brainwashing and our quest to fill up the empty places in our lives with more...more goods, more drugs, .....more, more,more - and its killing us.
My intention is to create a forum for new and different thoughts to be seeded. I have far more questions than I have answers about what might be possible. I am also very aware that this is not a forum for everyone. Some may find this conversation downright crazy and yet my experiences tell me that there are many more folks, both professionals and public that will embrace the opportunity to have their thinking challenged, stimulated and embraced by others of like mind. To each of you, I say "Welcome Home"!
Just a few of the things you can expect in this blog are thoughts about our current worldview and how it limits what is possible in health and medicine, explorations of quantum physics and how it applies to our biology, redefining ourselves beyond old identities of "healer", "therapist", "patient" or - fill in the blank.
There are some truly thought provoking books and resources that will be reviewed and Incorporated in my content along with the many insights I have gained along my own evolutionary path. I hope you will choose to share what you have discovered too because I know that if you are still reading, you are on your own quest too!
I spent the past few years very unsure of how to have this conversation publicly only to have finally realized that to not have it is an act of betrayal for myself because it is what gives my life meaning. To be unwilling to share publicly denies each of us a moment of growth, and I don't know about you, but I feel like my moments are too precious to waste by living simply by the status quo.
