Day 12 - Food For Thought.

Before I get started I want everyone to know that I am going into my 3 day treatment and will be out of communication until Saturday. Lets all focus and send good intentions to my right side. Here's to new hamstrings, ankle and hip flexors. Thanks to my God, Thanks to all my friends, family and Guru! Love and healing light, Leah

 

The following are emails between myself and a friend of mine, who chooses to remain anonymous, over the last couple of days. I thought they were interesting and wanted to share them with all of you. I would love to get any responses that anyone else may have. That is including you Dr. Ashish, I know your out there! Please, don't be afraid to tell me what you think. We are all learning and this is simply an opportunity to voice your beliefs.


Hey Leah!

How's it going? How's that fried food? So Good! What the hell, just enjoy it. At least it tastes great!


I think of you often throughout the days, and my thoughts send you Strength, Courage and Good Energy. It must be really exciting to be there. You're surrounded by Krishna, Ganesha, Inanna, Shiva...and in the Homeland of Tantra! Now those are some Good Vibrations!


And don't forget about the Bhagavad Gita, the Song of God...in short, it says that the secret to releasing Physical Attachment, is to be as passionate as you can possibly be about the pursuit, give it absolutely everything you have, and then give it more...and be 100% detached from the result of your actions. In other words, it's not if you win or loose, it's how you play the game, but stated in Ancient Indian Metaphors.


Remember, If you want your curry in a hurry, go to Ghandi's! Indian Fast Food!


I just went to your website to get your email, and I discovered your Daily Journals. I've only read the first one, and wow it sounds like quite an adventure! The amazing energy comes right through your words!


Don't worry about replying, I know that your Time is packed with amazing adventures!


You Are Awesome, Leah!

Your Friend.



Hey there my friend,

Honestly, I was so happy to get your email today... it couldn't have come at a better time. Your words are beautiful and I took them to heart. Have you been to India before? Or just studied their culture?


Today, I believe was the first day that my inner voice was questioning what I've been doing for the last ten years.... seriously I was questioning myself. 


It's a hard bringing life back into this paralyzed body and today I couldn't stop crying. Ups and downs. 


The doctors say that it is because we, the patients, are "pregnant" with stem cells and have all side effects like a pregnant woman. Still, I have never had my inner voice question my path before and it kinda scared me. Don't get me wrong it didn't last long and I think I'm OK, but your words brought me back to reality... I can do this, I do have the time, determination and support from my friends, family and community. 


It's been a long road and with my recent divorce I'm filled with anxiety and questions as to is anything sacred? Time heals, but patience is another ball game.... I don't have patience.


I push on one foot in the future and one in the present. In hopes I can figure out what really is.... what really is true. 


I have given my body to science, it's a lot to endure. Strong mind, strong body. Sleep, rest and awake renewed in order to keep a strong and positive state of mind. 


Anyway, thank you for your email.


Talk to you later.

Hey Leah -

When I was 18, my first metaphysical studies centered around Indian beliefs. I have a statue of the Dancing Krishna, to remind me of the etherial nature of the Mass and Matter (Maya) in which we are all seemingly trapped. Metaphysical studies lead me to get a degree in Nuclear Physics from Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO. Among other things, that degree taught me that Mass and Matter really are etherial...all things are 99.99999% space!


I'm glad that email got to you at the right time. Your inner-questioning is a natural and necessary part of your Journey. It's a sign that you're making progress on many levels and releasing old frequencies...and it's no accident that its happening now. All of our emotions and experiences are stored within our cells. Emotions are literally the language of our cells, how they communicate and express themselves. Thats why its easy to understand something logically, and still have a completely illogical emotional reaction to a very logical situation. We know it logically in our mind, but we don't know it emotionally in our cells.


So with all the progress you're making, you're introducing new frequencies into your cells, and they have to release old frequencies to make room for the new. Your conscious efforts are literally forcing new information into your cells. That's why its so hard! You are literally bending the spoon with your mind, affecting Mass with your Thoughts. You said it, "Strong Mind, Strong Body". Exactly!


Anyway, when your cells release emotion to make room for what you're forcing into them, you feel the emotion they release. I cannot begin to imagine the deep doubt that has been buried within your cells since day one. Now its expressing itself and disappearing for ever!


Pregnant women are so erratic and emotional because their hormones are doing things they've never done before, and our hormones create emotion. We all just respond to our hormones. Literally, we feel the way our hormones tell us to feel, and I don't think anyone has any control at all over what our hormones tell us in any given moment.


I need to learn more about stem cells. I learned about it years ago, when I unsuccessfully traded stocks, but it's been so long, I don't remember anything about it except that it sounded like the most promising treatment for almost every human ailment in all of History. Then Bush put the Kaibosh on it. He really messed up everything that crossed his path.


But I forget the details of how it works. It must affect hormones, because hormones create emotion, which are stored in the cells. Direct Connection.


I think it was your fear that drove the doubt away, not so much my words. Of course you can do this, otherwise you would not be on this Path. Just the fact that this is the path you're on is proof that you can do it.


The only Sacred thing is each Spirit's personal Journey on Earth as a Human. That is the only True thing. Indians call it each person's Dharma.


By giving your body to science, think of how many people you can transform for the better. It's like Obi Wan Kinobe saying to Darth Vader, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!" Great responsibility is indeed a lot to endure.


Your strong mind affects everyone on Earth. We are all affected by each other's thoughts, its been proven many times, so don't think you're not making a big difference. You are expanding the minds of everyone on earth, especially those who are watching you. You're forcing their minds to accept new possibilities. Subtle and Powerful Stuff!


It's healthy to beak down some times, and even to surrender when you feel dispair consume you. All avatars experience the unbearable anguish of the Dark Knight of the Soul before they are transformed into Enlightened Beings.


Well, I guess I'll leave you with that food for thought.


Your Friend.



Hey there my friend,

Wow... how to respond to that I'm not sure. But I do believe in what your saying. You just have more education than I while maybe I just have the life experience. (Being paralyzed from the chest down) I studied graphic design at a small school in Missouri... wrong path.


Why me? I'm not sure. Was I horrible in my past life or can I just handle it? Why do bad things happen to good people?


What I was saying is that from day one (ICU) I have never had a doubt as to where I would end up. Back on my feet as an able bodied being. Lying there like a shell alive on the inside I was given two choices.... get up and walk or lay there and cry about it. I reassured my mother by letting her know my angels were with me and all would work out in the end. What I didn't know was how hard the journey would become.


And how can my fear drive the doubt away? However, I do feed off any negative energy by manipulating it as I feed off positive energy like most others.


What was such a shocker yesterday was the fact that for the first time, since my accident, my inner being was not with me. It was NOT positive. Normally, no matter what comes out of my mouth.... I can't do this, forget this, I hate to walk... whatever, my inner voice was all knowing... it will happen, I have no boundaries, the possibilities are unlimited and endless. This was my concern.


Anyway, just thought I would get your response to these questions and thoughts. Only when you get a chance.



Hi Leah -

I usually think the physics thing was the wrong path for me.


Why really bad things happen to really good people...that one's way beyond me. I have no clue.


I don't think this life is penance for a past life. It doesn't help to be punished if we don't even know we did anything wrong. I don't know why it was you, but I do know that you can and will overcome it, and I know that you're not being punished for anything.


I'm not sure how to explain fear driving away the doubt. Something like, the fear helps us see that doubt is a bottomless pit, so fear gives us the motivation to turn away from doubt? I'm not sure, I'll be thinking about it.


Thanks for helping me understand the doubts you experience. I guess I totally misunderstood. Yes, it would be absolutely terrifying to not be able to find the one source of stability you've always had, your inner-voice.  I didn't mean to make light of it.


I guess I got carried away with that email last night. That happens sometimes at 2 in the morning, after I've been sitting at the computer and smoking for endless hours. I hope I didn't come across as too much of a raving lunatic preacher.


Thanks for listening.

Your Friend

  1. Hi, Leah! I hope things are continuing to progress well for you. I think of you daily and can't wait to see your next blog post documenting your amazing return!

    I wanted to quickly say that I posted the link to your blog on a spinal cord injury website called Dangerwood (http://www.survivingparalys...)

    Hopefully several other quadriplegics will find your site and have a renewed sense of strength that there may be a light at the end of this tunnel.

    I will be continuing to urge my boyfriend Tom (also a C-5) to go through your archives.
