Alchemy




Beauty unfolds as power
and the wave of mind-stuff
washes the ego through
and over the rocks of time;
I stand at the cliff's edge,
wearing my body
and lifting my spirit
to fly like the bird-serpent
into the new World
where Truth, Joy, and Creative Power reign.

Join me.
Join me and hold my hand
as we fly,
as we live as we die
and learn what it means
to be of the Earth and of the Sky.

Reflections on The Women's Congress

(from the Wilbur Hot Springs Newsletter)

Dear Friends of Wilbur. . . This past weekend I was fortunate to be one of a handful of men, warmly referred to as “our male allies,” who were invited to join approximately 80 women for The Women’s Visionary Congress: Consciousness, Healing and Social Justice, held at Wilbur Hot Springs (see visionarycongress.org). I listened, learned, laughed and cried as remarkable women, from around the country, representing all sizes, shapes, colors, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic strata, told stories from their hearts about living and dying, presented scientific findings, and formed a community of concerned citizens all dedicated to making the world a place where consciousness may expand, healing may occur, and love may flourish . e For me one of the most emotionally moving lectures was presented by Angel Raich, a 41-year-old mother of two, former Republican from Stockton, who recently went before the Supreme Court of the United States in hopes of being granted permission to use cannabis to treat her many life-threatening illnesses including an inoperable brain tumor, life-threatening wasting syndrome, and seizure disorder. The Supreme Court turned her down with a 6-3 vote (visit angeljustice.org for more information). Suffice it to say that listening to this heroic human being left no dry eyes in the room, and as I allowed myself to resonate with her my body convulsed with sobbing. Another moving and highly articulate presentation which provided me with well-needed laughs was made by Carolyn “Mountain Girl” Garcia, an historic and legendary figure, who rode with Neal Cassidy, of “On the Road” fame, was an original Merry Prankster with Ken Kesey, a wife to Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, acclaimed author and teacher, and an inner space traveler of epic proportions. She is a tribal elder in every good sense of the word. The list of other presenting and attending luminaries is so long that I refer you to the easily accessible web sites which you can reach at visionarycongress.org. Some of the lectures included such topics as: Anthropological Research on Mind States in Other Cultures; Use of Entheogens While Dying; Social Activism for Women of Poverty and Color; and, Ways in Which the American Civil Liberties Union Makes its Decisions on Which Causes to Support. Rarely did I hear anyone voicing arguments against anyone or anything. This was a congress of proactive, open-hearted adults who came together to share important information and support their mutual causes of dignity and respect for all. The Women’s Visionary Congress was graciously, articulately and seamlessly produced by Annie Harrison who assured us that audio and video versions will soon be available on the internet. Logistical and financial support was provided by Rick Doblin and the MAPS staff, and by Black Swan and the Cygnets. Exquisite multi-national cuisine was provided by Dog Star Catering, yoga classes and kirtan by Sarana Miller (see saranayoga.com). The cooperation of everyone involved made this an educational experience of significant proportions. I would be remiss if I missed giving special thanks to John Gilmore, a behind-the-scenes Renaissance man with a brilliant mind and generous heart. I am looking forward to hearing from those of you who call in with something to say on my radio program – 707-964-1205. Visit KZYX.org. You can also email me (DrRichardLMiller@aol.com) and I will read your comments on the air.

Medical Cannabis in Los Angeles


(taken from the Los Angeles Magazine April 2007 issue)

Here are some of my selected highlights of the article:

" 'Prop 215 was written by anarchists,' says Allen St. Pierre, executive director for the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws or NORML. He says that one of the initiatives authors, Dennis Peron, has famously declared that all marijuana use is medical. 'It is literally written to be chaotic and now there is no wherewithal to restrict it.' " (page_)

" ...dispensaries occupy another gray area of the medical marijuana industry. 'We're primarily supplied by growers who are for the most part also our patients,' says a Los Angeles dispensary owner who I will call Stan. 'Technically it's not a real financial transaction that happens. Vendors make a donation of their medicine and in return we give them a cash donation. Kind of like a church.' " (page_)

"For patients, obtaining pot is pretty straightforward. But feeding the beast is not easy. Marijuana is fragrant, voluminous, and a felony in the eyes of DEA agents and the federal government. There is no infrastructure and state-sanctioned farm dedicated to growing marijuana for medical use. For the most part, marijuana sold in the dispensaries comes either from the same growers who supply the illicit market or from patients who cultivate their own marijuana. The stipulation in Prop. 215 that allows individuals to grow their own pot also permits patients to grow it for others in medical need. Individuals collect referrals from any number of card-carrying patients and produce marijuana for the collective on a much larger scale. They then sell the medicine to the dispensaries, who sell it to the members of the collective." (page_)

The Human Energy Body & Crystal Instrumentation

Energy and Healing
A medical doctor treats the physical body; a psychologist counsels the mind and emotions; and the pundits, priests to the soul. The healer must work to balance everything---- the mind, body, and emotions.

Healing is a balancing energy. If we can balance the energies of all the bodies, we can have health, harmony and joy.

The key to all healing is energy. Anything, which blocks or deprives a cell of energy, will weaken it. When a cell is weakened, the cell sends out a signal to the brain requesting energy to alleviate the problem.

Certain conditions can alter the brain's ability to respond to the call. Drugs, alcohol, or other influences can cause an altered state where the signals are received poorly or not at all.

If the brain has enough bio-energy in reserve, and it hears the signal clearly, it will send the appropriate amount of energy to the cell, which it will use to operate the automatic repair, maintenance, rejuvenation, and replacement process. When the process reaches a certain level of automatic repair, the pain signal is no longer needed and begins to reduce itself or turn off.

Crystals supply energy. They have no ill or side effects. They give the cells the necessary energy, which is vital for repairing and maintaining health of an individual.


When the mind is linked to crystals, they serve as an amplifier to increase the healing process. Crystal energy can be used to pre-charge an area before surgery to reduce the trauma to the cells, and it can be used after surgery to replace the energy loss caused by that trauma.

Drugs and surgery operate through the physical body. Crystals amplify and access all levels of mind, emotion, spirit, and body. The thoughts and emotions human beings generate or absorb from others create their physical condition. For healing to last, all levels need to balance and stabilize.

Increasing Energy
Pendants - Wearing a crystal pendant over the heart chakra band stimulates the thymus gIand and thus the immune system. The heart chakra band extends from the hollow of the throat to the juncture of the breastbone. The chain should be of a conductive metal, such as silver or gold, or other natural materials like silk, leather, cotton, or wool. A crystal worn in this area will show an increase in energy fields from three to five times the normal energy level while measured by both Kirlian photography and dowsing.

Charging - Drop a one-inch or larger crystal into a gallon of water. Overnight, the Energy level or field of the gallon of water will increase from one foot to ten feet. Anyone who drinks the water will transfer that energy to his or her own body. Try this test. Have one person hold a dowsing rod five feet away, pointed at a second person. Have the second person drink a small glass of uncharged water and wait one minute. Observe any change in the dowsing rod. Now, have them drink a similar-sized glass of crystal-charged water. Wait one minute. See if the dowsing rod moves. In our tests, we measured the energy changing from a normal distance of about one foot to an increase of as much as fifteen feet. The uncharged water caused no changes.

Charged Food - Charging food replaces the energy lost in growing, picking, packaging, and shipping. The food in supermarkets is sometimes only 25% of the strength of fresh grown, organic food. Placing the food on crystals will charge them, even through their containers. This will help replace the lost energy. Cooking food causes some energy loss. Placing a plate of food on crystal slices will help recover that loss. Even five minutes of charging is very beneficial. Crystal energy grids are even more effective.

Charged Clothing and Bedding - Placing crystals in bureau drawers and in linen Closets will charge your clothing and your sheets and pillowcases. A crystal in each shoe or placing your shoes on crystals is very effective because he bottoms of the feet are where most of the meridians of the body surface. These provide direct lines for the charged shoes to transmit their new energy to the organs and systems of the body. In all cases, the charging effect can be transferred to the body and the energy can be used.

Programming Crystals
Crystals can receive and hold thought forms. When this is done consciously, it is called programming. The term "Programming" is used because this process is similar to computer programming. Information or commands are stored in the molecular structure of the quartz crystal as magnetic charged data. Thoughts are energy, and they are magnetic in form. All data in programmed crystals are stored as thought forms. Thought forms are pictures and/or other sensory data, powered or intensified by emotion. The Brow (between both the eyes) method is an effective way of programming a crystal.

First, determine the purpose of the program. Then think of the end result you would have if the program worked. Place the crystal against your brow. The direction the crystal is pointing does not matter. Close your eyes and go inside your crystal. Picture the end result happening inside your crystal. Create it with as many of your senses as you can. See it, smell it, touch it, hear it, taste it, make it real. When it feels real; come out of your crystal and open your eyes.

Clear the client's crystals by holding them in each hand and repeating the Light Invocation three times. "I invoke the Light of the God within. I am a clear and perfect channel. Light is my guide." Every ailment carries within it negative emotions. Do you know many people who are ill and are happy about it? When balancing occurs, the negative emotions are purged from the body and often become embedded in the client's crystals. Repeating the Light Invocation can neutralize all negative emotions in an object three times. These suggestions are important whether you are a professional or a concerned individual who simply wants to help others. When you become more experienced, you will use crystals for many purposes. For example, clusters, which are multiple crystals together in one piece, are excellent for creating a change in your immediate environment. You can use sets of crystals to create powerful grid fields to charge water, food, clothing, and to change the energy field of an entire room. The variety of uses for crystals can expand in direct proportion to your knowledge.


LIVING IN THE WORLD OF ENERGY

A human is not only a physical body but also a body of energy. The humans, animals, plants, things and crystals have all a body of energy or an aura. Even our planet earth has an aura. This is so called ozone layer.

Crystals are also receivers and transmitters of energy. Some are more transmitters (e.g. amethyst, rosenquartz), others like quartz can transmit and receive and is as such used for purifying an aura of a man.

For me the crystals live and I do not dare to misuse their energy. They can be compared to a small transformer receiving the cosmic energy and emitting it back into the space.
