rheumatoid arthritis -- step into authority -- forget Mr. Pleasant, and try Alive
andTrue
I want to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis from arthritis (the
last post), as it's classed differently being an auto-immune
disease. (And the reason I'm covering this is because two
people in my circle, not related by 'blood"however have this
dis-ease diagnosed and I'm doing Ho'oponopono on this
within myself. I heal this disharmony within myself; I am
never healing anyone else. That it affects .. 'others"is certain;
but that cannot be the focal point or it exacerbates a sense of
division rather than acknowledging wholeness.)
An autoimmune disease means that the immune system,
which is something intended as a self-defense system to ward
off externai bacteria and viruses (any harmful foreign
substance), has gone awry and believes your body is ao enemy.
In a spiritual sense if one tends to view and reference the concept of"us versus them" and see externai
situations and people as "the enemy", or working at "cross-purposes"to you that will start to proliferate you
will, as ultimately there are no otherpeople: lt's ali one whole contiguous continuous Being. You'd be only
fighting yourself. I think spiritually speaking a healthy immune system will simply dueto harmonious
conditions basically deflect any discordant organisms; something like the way the positive pole of a magnet
deflects negatively-charged iron filings. This is not actively fighting, it is simply a mismatch in polarities. The
magnet is perfectly pure and clear.
On the symbolism o f rheumatoid arthritis via Louise Hay: ''Deep criticism o f authority. Feeling very
put upon."She recommends the affirmation: "Iam my own authority. I love and approve ofmyself. Life is
good." (Again, I'm not keen on affirmations. Y ou really are going to have to get to the root o f the message not
assuage it. This will require totally be willing to see the projection too. I recommend The Work, by Byron
Katie.)
And from Lise Bourbeau (unfortunately, I 'v e already reached Google Books' search limit, however, this is
what I found): 'Generally, ifyou suffer from rheumatoid arthritis you are very self-critical; you
have dimeulty doing what you enjoy and asking others for help .... "
At some point, you will realize, there is no one out there stopping you from being you -you are
your own authority. YOU ARE THEAUTIIOR OF YOUR UFE. There's no one holding you back (although
your own beliefs about "power,"and what others will approve ofand willnot approve ofmay be holdingyou
back). There's no one else that needs to do Xor Y, so then you can be free. No one is stopping you from doing
what you enjoy. No one is doing you in. No one is your enemy. No one, especially those that believe they are
in charge, is in charge. Life's in charge--and it ain't your enemy either.
For a long time, I would hear people say things like ''I cannot afford to go to a doctor," o r similar statements
ofpowerlessness. As ifthe doctor is the authority oftheir healing, and their health is in someone else's hands.
Having discovered that I can heal myself, this always felt strangely like purposefully denying divine
authority by giving it to something/ someone extemal.

Yet, what I often didn't see was ali the otherways I gave away my own capability to be a sovereign authority
channeling Life itself. For instance, I didn't see a way to be the authority ofmy own wealth -- of course, it was
totally dependent on getting ajob, ora foothold in the marketplace, and appeasing the masses with
something "commercially"viable to sustain me. Ando f course being a radical, '\h e powers that be"were out
to squash me somehow or another. MY mind would run rampant thinking it was Me versus the Mainstream.
And even lately, one ofmy closest collaborators told me in an argument, 'You're hippy-dippy"underlining
how even my allies seem to have turned into adversaries.
And since this course is called, Clean Up The Gulfln Y ou, in terms o f the Gulf oil spill, it's pretty clear-cut
whom the enemy-authority is. Why it's British Petroleum of course.
Now, ali this might make some kind ofrational ''sense" as it's what we grew up believing--that other people are
in charge, o r even God is in charge, but it's not how creatorship and authority works.
Re-read the post on We Are Cause (as in we're not at the effect ofthe world. we're creatorsl and I also
recommend Mike Dooley's book, ''Infinite Possibilities: The Art ofLiving Your Dreams" and Rhonda Byrne's
'The Power". (Skewed a bit more Christian, yet also relevant are '"Fearless: Imagine Your Ufe Withou Fear",
by Max Lucado and 'The Mystical I"by Joel Goldsmith.)
There is no one holding you back. The projeetion is your thoughtsfbeliefs about reality are
holding you baek. (And it's a pretty flimsy barrier. No worries.)
As I was writing this post, the song Mr. Pleasant by the Kinks (1967) carne on the radio. The first
line that caught my attention was, the whole wide world is on your side ... "
Wow, and the whole wide world is on your side. Sound perfect doesn't it?
"A violin that has been made by a master resonates only with pure tones, and it
does so deep and abundantly. A cheap one resonates to many tones, but in a dull
way.
Make sure everything you do, or add to yourself, ia made of Pinus Resonanza
wood, and accorcling to universal proportions. Then your life will resonate with
the good and worthwhe, and you will be a Stradivarius for yourself and everyone
you meet. " - 17. I Ching
Do you really need the world on your side? Are you waiting for the world to be on your side?
Does the iris require that the water lilies be on its side to be an iris?
Does wholeness have ''sides''?
You don't need the world onyour side. Muse on that one.
I realized that sometimes I purposefuliy gave away my authority in order to be agreeable, or in other words,
not completely isolated and alienated. (Sure, that's a beliefsystem to o.) It's a kind ofexchange: I won't be
myself, so that I can be with you. Hmmmm. Yes, that's how convoluted our belief systems are sometimes.
So often we give away Ufe's authority in order to be nice and have friends rather than, say, enemies. We're
the epitome ofMr. o r Miss Pleasant. On doing the Ho'oponopono on this I see how I have dulied the "pure
tones" ofmyself and no one realiy did this to me except my incessant beliefs, even ifthey seemed reinforced
by others, that I'm not acceptable as I am.
(Does the bird sing its song for approval? Or does it sing because it's a song bird?)
Ali this suppression in order to be a good girl, as defined by others and their own images o f good. Yes, even
this compulsion to teach the Ho'oponopono course is slightly that (sure, there's a kernel related to my true
calling, but it's not my primary calling as "workshops"aren't really my purest expression ofjoy) -- the
PERCEIVED need to be nice, good, compassionate global citizen as defined by the masses, o r else suffer the
consequences-- hmmm, exile or something, I suppose ;)

Yet, that's why rheumatoid arthritis is a definite message offeeling put upon. You aren't doing
what you enjoy because no one willlet you, because no willlike me ifl do, because they willleave me ifl
don't do what they want (and its variations). For me, it's an underlying beliefthat one shouldn't do what they
enjoy 100% ofthe time beca use that's self-indulgent!! And self-indulgence might 'hurt" other people. Really?
As if self-sacrifice is helping?
I
Don 't ask yourselfwhat the world needs. Ask yourselfwhat makes you come alive and then go do that.
Beca use what the world needs is people who h ave come alive- Howard Thurman
Forget good. Forget Mr. Pleasant. Try Alive. Try True. Pretty much beingjust "okay"is a disease. It's a
slow killer, yet inl get you every time. Don't compromise. Don't settle for okay.
Anything less thanjoy (it need not be outrageous and loud, sometimes it's quiet and blissful)
is notou r natural condition, and it signifies a resistance to Life right this Now.
Nowthat I've seen through the message ofrheumatoid arthritis and seen its application in myselfsincerely (if
it doesn't feel true, keeping being willing to see the message for you and it will arise in due time).lt's time to
allow and accept, I repeat the Ho'oponopono words: I love you, Iforgive you, I release you, I love you ...
Bye-bye Mr. Pleasant ....
Oh Mr Pleasant, how is Mrs Pleasant?
I hope the world is treating you right,
And your head's in the air,
And you 're feeling so proud,
'Cause you 're such a success,
And the whole wide world is on yourside, hey hey.
How are you today?
People say Mr Pleasant is good,
Mr Pleasant is kind,
Mr Pleasant's okay,
Mr Pleasant don 't mind.
As longas Mr Pleasant's ali right, hey hey.
How are you today?
How 's your father, how 's your mother?
How 's your sister, how 's your brother?
How 's your brand, new limousine,
Twenty-four inch 1V screen?
Did you like prosperity
More than you liked poverty?
Life is easier, so much easier,
Life is easier now.
Oh Mr Pleasant, how is Mrs Pleasant?
Did you know she wasjlirting around
With another young man,
And he 's taking her out
When you have to work late?
And it's not so pleasant afterall, hey hey.
How are you today?
People say Mr Pleasant is good,
Mr Pleasant is kind,

As longas Mr Pleasant's all right, hey hey.
How are you today?
p.s. I try not to distinguish dis-eases that are 'n my blood" (i. e. siblings, parents, cousins, etc) from t hose of
my inner circle (anyone I deem as significant and their significant circle), although because the course is
focused on blood, joy, and the oil spill, yes a future post will address t he family karmic patterns.
UPDATE October 15, 2012: I've been delving into the topic ofthe carrying ofand healing ofancestral f
generational pain, and carne upon this vdeo where the questioner is asking spiritual teacher Adyashanti a
question. Her own mother had intense rheumatoid arthritis, and now her daughter is reporting how much
shoulder pain she's carrying on t his particular meditation retreat. It's too much to share here, watch:
