Onward!

As you may have read a few days ago I have begun writing the sequel to my autobiography called Shadow Scorpion. This sequel is a book I never intended or even thought about writing until recently.

Interestingly enough I have had an amazing amount of readers ask me within the last year when the sequel to Shadow Scorpion is coming out! I would shake my head and say, “What sequel??” Funny how some things work out…

As the holidays neared I remembered releasing Shadow Scorpion last December. Then I began entertaining the idea of writing a sequel. I had to ask myself a few questions before I could decided if indeed I was going to go ahead with it.

The first thing I asked was would there be enough interest. Well that one pretty much had already been answered within the last year. The second question was if I had enough content for another book. Well since I do my personal healing work daily and life goes on the answer was also pretty clear. Since the finished writing of Shadow Scorpion I have not only regained many more memories, but have also had quite a few experiences that go right along with past events of my life. So not only do I have many more details and events from my past to document, but I also have quite a few interesting events that have occurred within the last two years as a result of my past work and healing process. The last question I had to ask is if I felt I would have enough time to write a sequel. Since winter is here I figured I had as much time as I am going to have. Though I do continue to teach throughout the winter I have far less students coming to Vermont in the winter and so can find time to write.

I have found writing non-fiction is quite a bit easier than trying to write fiction. That is the way it is for me anyway. Non-fiction just flows because I know it through and through. I do not have to imagine things and try to write them in some format based upon illusions. I figure at this time that the sequel will be less total pages than Shadow Scorpion.

Just to let everyone know, I have just released Shadow Scorpion on Amazon. It can also be purchased through Amazon as a Kindle download. As of this time Shadow Scorpion can be purchased on my Store, Smashwords, Amazon, Amazon Kindle as well as all associated Smashword sites such as Barnes and Nobles.

Are Your Ready?

When all the gifts are unwrapped and trashcans are full, when all family and friends leave and the decorations come down to be packed away for another year, how do you feel? When the holidays end and now the long winter stares back with its cold and gray fingers, how do you feel?

The modern world and controlled society set up major holidays for the crash at the end of the high. Much like a sugar rush where you ride the sugar buzz for a short time only to fall hard afterward; this is how the modern world sets up holidays. The media pumps everybody up with promises of peace, happiness, flash and glamour, satisfaction and magic galore! Everywhere you look you see advertisements of such promises.

Traditional holiday gatherings with feasts, gifts, music, singing, dancing, parties where everyone is happy and differences places aside or reconciled are what we see in the media. However, most people’s holidays do not live up to such boasts. Instead they are REAL. TV and movies show us things not real, but glorified and altered from our world of physical reality.

Who is affected by this lie the most? Children who do not yet know better. They get triggered into riding the holiday rush only to collapse afterwards in states of sadness. They do not know why the feel the way they do, only that they are saddened and depressed in a time when they are “supposed” to feel great joy. Of course many adults have no idea how to make them feel better because they themselves are also depressed at the holiday crash and the eminent return to work and “normal” life.

Year after year the cycle continues. Year after year the media feeds the falsehoods of things too great to be practically attainable by most upon this earth. Year after year companies make massive amounts of money from this disgusting hype.

The New Year comes and the next phase of this cycle is the resolutions. People try to face their lives and decided they want to make changes. Some do, but many get a few weeks or maybe months in and their “normal” life and old habits reclaim their New Year’s Resolutions.

Here at Ways Of The Wild Institute we do not hold all the answers, not even close. What do we hold is hope, truth, straightforwardness and practicality- reality. For anyone who wishes to embark on a path of fulfillment and self discovery, Ways Of The Wild Institute might just be the place to visit. Students here do not find flat, impractical skills, but rather vastly dynamic skill sets that can be utilized in any walk of life. Here people come to find themselves through practical skills. Utilizing the wilderness, natural life, basic needs and foundational truth people follow the paths they themselves set into the truth of who they are. Along those paths people awaken to who they are and what they are capable of. The sleepiness of the modern lullaby wears off and the reality of the world becomes clearer.

In the Vermont Mountains we do not set unreachable goals and are not here to get rich of the skills we teach. That is obvious by looking at the very reasonable prices for all our classes and products. You can also see this by the fact that we have no “Institute” land like many large schools. We teach in the actual wilderness areas and on State Land. We care about the students who wander our way. We care about the quality of what we teach and the integrity of our school and purpose in life. There are no pedestals nor media lies here. What you see is what you get. If you truly want hype and glamour you will not find it here. Reality is what you will find here. Reality of yourself. If you are ready to seek deeper and more vastly within yourself, through practical life and useable skills, then here in Vermont might be the place to begin or continue that path and sacred journey.

The hyped up holidays are ending and the New Year approaches. Why not make resolutions that matter and are attainable? 2012 is right around the corner. It is time to start or continue making a difference! It is time to find yourself and all you are, no more hiding, rise and stand before life with a full heart and desire for a higher state of existence! The time is now, wait no longer, life is yours, make it so!

We are here at Ways Of The Wild Institute if and when you are ready for a new angle upon your path of personal sacredness.

Plant Respiration

I have had a number of people in my plant classes ask about what plants are best to have in their homes. Since I love plants my personal answer is any plant that is not poisonous to the touch! My home is filled with plants and I wish I could have more, but the light does not allow.

The question of which plants are best in your home comes down to two needs-

1.        Air Purification Abilities
2.        Oxygen Supply

Of course proper lighting, humidity and space are also key considerations for choosing correct plants to share your home with. However, the ability to purify air and increase oxygen in the home are core abilities you want to look at when choosing plants.

When we talk about how much oxygen a plant produces we have to first understand that most plants produce oxygen as well as carbon dioxide. The oxygen is actually a byproduct of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis only takes place during the day because it requires sunlight. Plants need carbon dioxide to work the task of photosynthesis. Now the interesting thing is that plants expel the byproduct oxygen through pores on the leaves, called stomata, or they use it for respiration. Remember that plants are alive as are we. They must breathe to live.

While most plants produce oxygen in the daylight, they all breathe both night and day. They require oxygen, just like us, to breathe. The byproduct of their respiration is the same as ours- carbon dioxide.  Now during the daylight hours the plant uses this carbon dioxide for the act of photosynthesis!

Follow me so far? Good

So the plants are breathing oxygen, expelling oxygen, using carbon dioxide and expelling carbon dioxide almost all at the same time!

Remember there are plants that have no chlorophyll, like the Indian Pipe and so produce no oxygen because they do not act out photosynthesis.

Now let us move to air purification. Some plants are masters at purifying air by filtering out toxins. These are great plants to have in your home. The best thing is to look for plants that combine both of these great qualities. The following are a list of plants that are known for producing higher levels of oxygen at night and cleaning the air. (Great to have in your bedroom!)

•          Philodendrons- specifically the heartleaf philodendron- they clean toxins out of the air and produce good quantities of nighttime oxygen!
•          Cactus- most cacti, including the Christmas Cactus produce large amounts of oxygen at night and absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide!
•          Aloe- another great plant with healing properties that produces good amounts of oxygen at night.
•          Snake Plants- again another plant that produces more oxygen at night and filters many toxins out of the air.
•          Spider Plants- these are very good air purifiers, especially for homes with new carpets and wood since they out-gas formaldehyde. Yes the spider plant filters this nasty chemical out of the air!

Here is another list of great plants to clean toxins out of air!

• English ivy
• Weeping fig
• Boston fern
• Dwarf date palm
• Lady palm
• Heartleaf Philodendron
• Elephant Ear Philodendron
• Bamboo palm
• Peace lily
• Areca palm
• Corn plant
• Spider Plant
• Selloum Philodendron
• Red-edged Dracaena
• Marginata
• Mother-in-Law’s Tongue / Snake Plant
• Pot Mum
• Chinese Evergreen
• Arrowhead vine
• Gerbera Daisy
• Warneckii
• Parlor Palm
• Ficus alii
• Golden pothos
• Dwarf Date palm

So go ahead and take advantage of natures own unique and highly effective oxygen makers and atmosphere cleansers inside your home! Not only do you benefit from the plants actions but you also get to see their beauty and feel their energy on a daily basis.

Please remember that some of the plants listed are poisonous if eaten by pets or children. Do your research before placing plants in your home if you have young children or pets who like to chew plant leaves.

The question & set-up…

Over the last couple years I have had many; many people from all walks of life come to me and ask me which of my learning cd’s they should buy. Right then and there I see a set up and I will tell you why. What I am telling you here is not based upon a guess but a fact that I have seen time and time again.

I have over 20 learning cd’s that cover a wide variety of topics within the genera of self healing (Medicine Ways). When someone comes up to me and asks me which one I suggest they begin with I see a few things happening. The first thing I look at is fact that they have to ask me because they are not directly communicating with the highest aspect of themselves to make their own decision. This shows me that they need to work on basics because if they did indeed have a good knowledge of the basics then they would never have to ask me because they would KNOW what cd would be best for them.

The second thing I look at is how they are asking me. What state of mind are they in when they ask me?

The other thing I look at is their energy at the time they are asking me which cd would be best for them at that time in their lives.

I combine all of this information I am aware of and then offer my suggestion to them in all openness and honesty. Now what happens many times down the line after this is I get an email, phone call or hear it through someone else that the individual is unhappy with my suggestion. Everything from the cd contains too much advanced information to the cd contains too much basic information and I am beyond that… The moment they asked me for my opinion it was a set up to then later return with accusation. Of course the accusation should be and in all actuality is aimed right back at them. Why?

I read what they offered me when they asked me. Insecurity, doubt, fear to seek their higher level of self for clear answers, etc. Normally when someone asks me what cd is best for them at that time I suggest one of the lower level ones that contain solid basics. Why? Because I can clearly see that they do not have those basics solidly in their mind because if they did they would never have to ask me because they would know themselves. That is what all of my work is about- helping others figure out how to do their own work and help themselves.

If you ask me to help you choose a cd best for you and then later tell me that the cd was too basic and you are beyond that, then why did you have to ask me in the first place? Why did you not know? If you come back and tell me the information it to advanced then you are not looking as deeply as I was because if I suggested that cd then I saw your potential.

Other people say they cannot listen to my cd’s because they fall asleep or my voice is too soothing, or whatever other reason they give. The fact is you are being triggered by your programs which are preventing you from gaining the helping information on the cd’s. The programs know what information will help you heal and which will keep you in your programmed state of being.

So please step back and center yourself, ground yourself and calmly review your comments. Clearly you are not being Proactive but rather are Reacting and this should be your first clue that you need to reassess your position of mind and emotion. I present information in a neutral format. It is up to you to decide what you need and when you need it. If you ask me then you automatically gave away your own power. And trust me when I saw that I do not want your power and would rather you keep it and use it wisely. It is yours from the universe just as mine is mine. I am here to help but I am not here to do your work for you. Trust me when I say I have plenty of my own to do.

New Super Flu Created-Why…

Some of you may have heard that there is now a new super flu that is extremely deadly. They claim that right now it is being kept safe inside a lab in Holland, which is the country who created this flu strand. Well let us look at this…

Dutch scientists decided it would be fun to fool with the H5N1 flu strand to see if they could manipulate it and create something much worse. They succeeded as the story goes. Ironically it was the NIH (National Institute of Health) that funded this Dutch experiment! Now they are highly concerned with the outcome and at a loss as what to do next. They fear that if this highly contagious super bug gets out of the lab it could end up killing “millions of people” world-wide.

Now let us look at the potential behind the scenes of such ridiculousness. What has the government and health institutes been trying to push upon the masses? Forced vaccinations.  What better way to impose forced vaccinations then by creating such flu, having it “escape” the lab and begin spreading. Then the governments and health institutes could easily require mandatory vaccinations to keep the global population safe from this killer flu they created.  Of course if you did not get vaccinated then your chance of survival may be dramatically decreased. But we all know they would force everyone to get vaccinated or you would get arrested and sent to jail…where they would forcefully vaccinate you behind bars.

The key paragraph in this whole news article is this “Dutch scientists carried out the controversial research to discover how easy it was to genetically mutate H5N1 into a highly infectious “airborne” strain of human flu. They believe that the knowledge gained will be vital for the development of new vaccines and drugs.”

“Development of new vaccines and drugs”…that means they probably already have the vaccine for this super flu, but will not make this public knowledge until it “escaped”. Then they will save the day by bringing out the vaccine and making it mandatory on a global scale. This would of course be the major door which would open up forced/mandatory full-scale vaccinations for everyone, with every known vaccination. This of course is to further poison and weaken the populations and perhaps even enhance the population reduction project.

I could easily be wrong with all of this, but from knowing how things work on the inside, studying true history and watching closely current global events I think there is more potential reality to this than not. I hope I am wrong, but we shall see…

Amazing bear feats!

I recently posted a blog on the need for the human body to stay active throughout all physical life and what occurs to the body if this is not the case. That brings up a question about large creatures that go dormant for many months of the year. In this case bears during winter. How is it the mighty bear goes to sleep for many months, does not eat or drink and can rise in spring with no muscle or bone deterioration and walk to the top of surrounding mountains? If we tried that feat we would freeze to death firstly because we continue to urinate. If we did not freeze we would die of dehydration quickly because we continue to urinate. Even if we could sleep for months without dying from freezing or dehydration our muscle mass would deteriorate, our tendons would shrink and our skin would have “bedsores”.

Let us say we could for hypothetical purposes turn off our kidney functions so we would not dehydrate. What would happen? Urea, which is simple metabolic waste, removes excess nitrogen from our body through urine. Urea is produced mainly from the digestion of proteins. If we could shut off the kidneys and stop urination the urea would build up in our blood and poison us to death.

So how does the bear do this amazing feat every year? The bear does not eat, does not drink and does not urinate all winter! Yet it loses no muscle mass, gets no skin sores, does not freeze to death, does not dehydrate and does not die from starvation.

Well first the bear packs on massive amounts of fat which its body feeds off of all winter while it sleeps. This is why it does not starve. That is the first key. The bear’s body metabolizes mainly FAT, not protein to survive the winters nap. This means that their system does not build up excess urea. Non-toxic creatine is produced from the miniscule amounts of urea they do produce. The amazing thing about the nitrogen that is produced in the bear’s body is that their system turns it into protein which is then used by the muscles! Thus no muscle loss with extended sleep! So why don’t they have to urinate? Well to answer that we must ask why we urinate. The body must urinate to flush out toxins from the system. Well if there are no toxins and no intake of fluids then there is no reason to urinate. This is why the bear does not urinate all winter. Another interesting fact is that by winters end the bear’s cholesterol is about twice that of the average humans! Even with that the bear suffers not ill effects.

Absolutely amazing how life adapts to the extremes. This should be a lesson to us all that we can all learn to adapt to anything and everything that comes our way. Another year is on its way out and a new year comes quickly on. What does this New Year hold for the world and for you personally? Who can tell? All anyone can do is speculate. It’s much like predicting the weather these days. Since the global weather is constantly being manipulated by chemicals and weather manipulation technology it has become extremely hard to predict weather patterns. Even the animals, who I watch all the time, are finding it hard to predict what they once could easily tell. Squirrels are freezing to death because they miscalculated food and nesting preparations based upon the patterns they observed. This is just one of many, many ill effects upon the animals that I have been seeing many times over. These are definitely not isolated cases.

So as this New Year approaches and the crazy world continues to dance in the ways of modern technology, remember that we have the ability to adapt by way of utilizing our MINDS. If you need assistance with this personal process we have many learning cd’s that can help! Of course we also teach physical wilderness living skills all year round to help you learn to adapt. After all that is what survival is all about- ADAPTATION.
