Health Optimization Power Tools

Cascades of Failure.

Avalanches and Riptides.

How we allow/force bad things to work together.



Even though I have been doing sickness, I deeply and completely accept myself. I choose to enable a greatness of health for myself. God loves me and I love myself. With the Love I Receive, I have love to Give and Share.

  1. Why Cascades ?

    Symptoms of a destructive Cascade Feeling event.
      We get some of these sudden Feelings:
    • panic
    • paralysis of mind
    • paralysis of action
    • sense of urgency
    • reduced breathing
    • dread with a sense of knowing
    • desensitized touch
    • sense of futility
    • torso pain, burning
    • calm heart rate
    • constipation
    • delayed sleep
    • depression - about 90% of people with

      Symptoms of High Anxiety.
        We get some of these continual Feelings:
      • nausea
      • irrational fear or dread
      • muscle tension and headache
      • jumpiness/irritability/shakiness
      • diarrhea/GI distress/IBS
      • elevated heart rate/palpitations
      • sudden changes in body temperature
      • chest pressure/shortness of breath
      • chest pain, sharp
      • tearfulness
      • insomnia
      • depression - about 20 to 30% of people with

Don't mix up the TWO!


Cascades, as a word-picture, describes a reality in which the action of one item sets off or Forces the beginning of a further one, which sets off or Forces the beginning of further one ... until the Ability to take action or intervention stalls, jams, stops, or, becomes imperative. It is like water flowing down a rocky and sloping stream bed. It may flow evenly. It may flow fast and slow, interrupted by obstructions along the way. It will not stop unless it meets an obstruction. That obstruction may be a dam, which Forces the water to accumulate and build its own Power. It may be a Turn, which redirects the water sideways and turns the Rush into a Calm. The certainty is that the cascade will continue Down with no stopping UNTIL either it is STOPPED, or, Redirected.

Biochemical processes occur in cascades
in the human body frequently.

This is part of the difficulty of treating and recovering from any Chronic illness. It is part of the reality of how our Reptilian Structure does much of our internal housekeeping. A simplistic example of this is:

ASSIMILATION
Food is put into the mouth
  Chewing crushes/cuts the food
    Taste of the food releases saliva
      Saliva mixes with food, adds enzymes
        Food-saliva mixture accumulates
          Food is swallowed, epiglottis closes
            Esophagus muscles ripple to transport food
              Stomach upper valve opens
               Food slurry enters the stomach
                 Food is mixed with stomach acid
                   Food is digested
                     Stomach bottom valve opens
                       Nutrients enter the intestines
                        another digestive routine begins ...

Emotional sensations can occur in cascades in the human body.
This is part of the difficulty of treating and recovering from any Acute illness which has become a Chronic illness, especially when it has expanded to become a Package of Illnesses. It is part of the reality of how our Intellect can lose relevancy, exaggerate its ability, respond to the abuse/training/imprinting allowed/imposed by others. A simplistic example of this is:

HATE
Awareness encouraged by our being Accepted
 Acceptance is conditional on Joining In
  Motivation transferred through Guilt/obligation
   Guilt forms from perceived Abuse unpunished
    Introduction of an experience of Frustration
      Conversion/exaggeration to Urgency
        Sense of Commitment or Rejection
         Commitment conditional on Joining In
          Involvement in Action/Inaction or Penalty
           Leadership/management sets immediacy
            Opportunity presented to Join In
              Example provided for Uniformity of response
               Acceptance of imprinting/training
                 Response to anchor modified to Reaction
                   Anger intensified to Intolerance
                     Intolerance united to Action = Violence
                       Violence justified as solution to Fear
                        Fear, Reaction, Violence become killing.

Feelings of Intensity are commonly built and learned through the adoption of Cascade Patterns. There is a consistency of HOW the pattern is acted out. The more consistent the pattern, the easier it is for our Reptilian Structure to automate a Response into a Reaction.

The benefit is that less brain energy is taken from our Reptilian Structure to determine and act out our response to a potentially frequent occurrence. Another benefit is that groups of people can accumulate the individual powers of their members and utilize this potential Power, to effect perceived Powerful Benefits for the whole.

The disadvantage is that we surrender CHOICE for Simplicity, and, Acceptance of others. The OTHERS may be a spouse, close friend, manager, mentor, social/religious/political group, gender, ethnic group, academic standing, nationality, ....

    Constructive PERSONAL
  • Love
  • Sharing
  • Sacrifice
    Constructive SOCIAL
  • Charity
  • Orderliness
  • Forgiveness
    Destructive PERSONAL
  • Fear
  • Guilt
  • Rage
    Destructive SOCIAL
  • Gossip
  • Prejudice
  • Hate

The Intensification of Destructive emotional patterns is an encouraged difficulty for persons with CFS-ME. This is partly because of the current (2009) and previous HUGE likelihood for their having received from others .. misunderstanding, disrespect, abandonment, and abuse.

This intensification is also contributed to by the degree and number of abilities and experiences which the now ill person has achieved previously. The older one is when they acquire CFS-ME, the more opportunity they have had to develop a history (pattern) of Confidence. The symptoms of CFS-ME and the duration of most episodes ALL frustrate that sense of Confidence and challenge the person with Fear. To the extent that this is possible, and the individual does not have the awareness, knowledge, and skills to cope with ALL challenges and recover from this Package of Illnesses, they are likely to also invite an increase in their expression of Destructive emotional patterns.

The body releases Adrenaline and cortisol
when we have Cascades of feelings.

These cascades may be unconscious of conscious, or, a collection of both. The normal response is to experience an orgasm, a release of energy built up by tension. Persons experiencing an allergy cascade will sneeze, cough, have a runny nose, itch. A person who has gradually built up tensions through sensual stimulation and give-and-take involvement will experience a sexual release. A person who has had tensions built up through constant and increasingly intense argumentation will be physically encouraged to use action: physical (beating, rape, murder) or emotional (swearing, yelling, blaming) violence or running away (literally, or, sulking, overwork, other addictions). A person who has had tensions built up through war training may reach a killing point of rage in which a great relief is possible when one is pointed at the "enemy" and murder takes place.
Knowing the reality gives us Choice.

Either flight (action) or restraint (calm by restraint) often results, according to the benefits and disadvantages mentioned above. There are many Fear and Frustration cascades which would be acted out violently in a less populated environment than most of humanity now live in. One might go and chop a pile of wood, do laundry, clean the stables, wash the floors, cultivate the fields, go swimming ... ALL activities capable of intense energy use. There is even the destructive, yet well recognized pattern, of make-up sex. Many of the people acquiring CFS-ME are educated and socialized to the point of awareness of the unsuitability of such responses against themselves or others. Showing restraint while your physical system is responding to an attack builds a LOT of cortisol.

A LOT of Cortisol produces symptoms of fatigue, muscle aches, organ action depression. The ONLY healthy way out IS intense action, yet, NOT until the constant adrenal push going on within CFS-ME persons is STOPPED, and, the excess hormones from cascades are released. This will be one of the more difficult discernments for a recovering CFS-ME person to make. If one tries to burn off excess hormones when was is still in the grip of Adrenal Fatigue, their weakness will continue to worsen and their overall physical health will continue to degrade. If they force themselves to burn off excess hormones AFTER getting past the adrenal fatigue, yet, in response to a discerned cascade of triggered emotions, they will be awakened with increasing energy within minutes. Know where you are!

Cascades are put in motion when we fail to act on the invitation to action which arrives with each component of the pattern. We restrain, restrain, restrain, restrain, restrain ... until we are so saturated with shut-down hormones, that we collapse in fatigue or go blank mentally. Cascades of emotions can build for these and other reasons:

    • intense authoritarianism
    • toxic shaming (transferred responsibility)
    • unresolved guilt (righteous violence)
    • patience during constant attack on self
    • compassion to addictions of others
    • bullied by parents and siblings
    • seeing adult violence/abuse as a child
    • being threatened by an adult w/horrifying stories




2. A Tsunami, not a Flood.

Unresolved problems tend to create more problems.
A problem is anything that interrupts or interferes with a calm, constructive, spiritually strong living of life. The more activities we are involved in, the more choices we have, the more demands that others make on us, the more we accept obligation for our participation, the more people we interact with, the more committed we are to one or more relationships .. the more opportunity we have to develop cascaded feelings.
WHY do we opt for the cascade?

    Enticing PERSONAL
  • Peace
  • Security
  • Reward
  • Sexuality
  • Safety
    Enticing SOCIAL
  • Employment
  • Respect
  • Acceptance
  • Protection
  • Inclusion

What are the Fears and Losses we must Believe and expect if the above are the sacrifices we are willing to make to avoid action and assertiveness?

    Oppressive PERSONAL
  • constant Argumentation
  • Separation/abandonment/divorce
  • restriction/confinement/loss
  • vengeance/avoidance
  • anarchy/insecurity
    Oppressive SOCIAL
  • unEmployment
  • disRespect
  • Abandonment
  • Penalty/Jail/Pain
  • Treason/Exclusion

We don't want to LOSE the enticing parts and we don't want to GAIN the oppressive outcomes. As long as we are exposed to the unrestricted expressions of the destructive cascades of others, we are placed in Choosing between A-Life-We-Love and a Life-we-don't want. Choosing the former demands a high degree of independence, assertion, spiritual strength, patience, and focus, OR, a high degree of selfishness, aggression, spiritual weakness, impatience, and stubbornness.

To the onlooker, not in the experience, it is so much easier to view a WITHDRAWAL from abuse response as childishness rather than maturity. There is often a no-win here for the person who fails to stay and risk developing their own Cascade response to a cascade pattern directed at them. Yet, the reality is that, for many people, the options are restricted to the following, unless, BOTH parties are fully aware of what the cascades are, are willing to accept full responsibility for their own cascades, and, willing to do a LOT of work to interrupt their cascades, remove the stumbling points, and rebuild the relationship.

    Simple direct OPTIONS:
  • BUILD a cascade response of fears/anxieties (Stay)
  • AVOID the other person/organization (Denial, no listen)
  • LEAVE, separate, quit (Rebel, say No More!)

For children, chronically ill persons, grandparents, and members of authoritarian organizations (some gangs, institutions, military, associations) the only option without High Risk is to BUILD. Once the Build option has been entered into, one delay/bribe quickly opens the door for many to follow. A BRIBE happens when we expect a benefit in return for doing something we don't want to do, or, expect to avoid pain (emotional or physical) by doing something we don't want to do.




3. Fears replacing Confidence.

How did we get to this place!
As mentioned above, there ARE a few constructive applications of cascade feelings, beliefs, and actions. Those we gain through constructive and compassionate imprinting, mentoring, teaching, and self-experiences. Our main concern here is for the destructive patterns which sabotage our health and assist us in maintaining destructive relationships. The relationships which we have may have always been destructive, may have become destructive, in part or whole. Strongly imprinted or energy block supported patterns may not have been expressed until recent experiences of high anxiety brought them to the front again.

It is quite easy for the best of relationships to attract destructive patterns when the whole of one's self-image, self-awareness, activities, involvements, successes, and commitments are turned upside down. This frequently happens for persons who acquire CFS-ME. We are confident enough and empathic enough to hope that we can influence and negotiate a reduction or elimination of these negatives. Yet, if we do not understand where they come from, it may become easy for us to own the underlying emotions, or reactions to them, for ourselves. THAT, will Not be constructive.

Here are a few ways in which Destructive Cascades are built.

To the extent that these patterns have been adopted by YOU, there is an increasing likelihood that you may acquire CFS-ME, and, a certainty that your Recovery will be delayed, even prevented, unless you can convert these patterns to a Constructive alternative. Having an understanding of WHAT they are and WHERE they came from can assist your motivation to release them, or build ones that return your Confidence.

Imprinting.
You are Special to be (our child, of our ethnic group, our color, your gender, ...) but you (can never get anything correct! If from the time you are born you are told this, on an average of 25 times a day, 365 days of the year, until you leave home after the age of 16, you will have heard this 146,000 times. Some of those times, as often as 40% of the time, you will have heard it said in anger, frustration, or some other emotion, with Intensity. Regardless of your achievements, the feedback and encouragement of friends and teachers, internally, you will Believe this.

Doing assertive, as a child to these insecure parents, will win you more intense outbursts, physical violence, and more levels of emotional threat and abuse. That means that you will learn to associate your telling the truth and standing up for yourself with destructive emotional cascades of your parents, as well as threats, violence. When not acting out, in reactionism, a response to choose a role different than expected, your abused Personal Spirit may even take time outs. You don't hear, because you are not all present. Unfortunately, this temporarily severs your conscious, and perhaps silent, rejection of the irrelevant and abusive judgements of you. Your Reptilian Structure has no choice but to do its thing. It takes in everything, unfiltered and unedited, like a recorder. You absorb at these times, as if hypnotized. This will be YOUR pattern as an parent. The pattern will glide from one generation to the next. You may not only absorb the pattern but intensify it further.

Rebelling and running away from home opens the possibilities for escape from this hell of Invitation-Penalty in which you seem to be getting emotionally slapped for Joining In. The breadth of possibilities is wide. The reality is that there will be many other forms of destructive attitude and behavior that can be forced upon you when you are penniless, homeless, and young. You may miss being burned by the fire, yet drown in the swamp. A few people will reap the benefits of good timing and a positive attitude and find better mentors, and a supportive home. Here, rebellion is a reaction in which you reverse the expected Passive role into an Active one. The Goal is to receive the respect that all of the family myths say you should have, yet never get.

Denial, perhaps, is a better option.
If the child has a Basic Personality and weakened Ego and SuperEgo identity factors to develop a response of numbing out, and going into denial, what happens? You stop listening. The threats and judgements keep coming, and you prove the provocateur true, by underperforming. You let THEM make YOUR choices. Yes, they can call you "stupid", yet, that quickly becomes boring and easy to block out as the only exclamation. You miss all the many judgements which seek to make you a victim by calling ALL of your efforts failures .. even if done exactly like your guardians have specified.

This is ONE pattern of this type.
There are likely as many as 4 others that are as frequently practiced>
They Anchor fear, doubt, abuse, and/or control in the subject. These may be triggered ONLY in relationships in which this imprinted person feels an expectation of love ... spouse, romantic date, special friend ... as well as with those who planted it in you.

Training.
Unconsciously, you want the Respect that has been promised to you by the qualifications of Special or Privilege impressed upon you repeatedly. Where can you get it. Not at home! Not working for your family. Not working with your parents. Pick any of those options and you have planted yourself into Denial. You look for relationships, occupations or positions in which Respect is expected, from your viewpoint. These could include:

    • peer group, gang, band, troupe
    • owner, supplier, leader
    • police or security officer
    • military officer or special trooper
    • hero, rescuer, fireman, physician

Five steps frequently are utilized to complete a membership qualifying "training." These include application, getting noticed, entrance challenge, apprenticeship, privilege. None of these steps is excluded from positions which continue to be authoritarian and conservative/intolerant. Increasingly, these positions and groups are recognizing that a more positive social image is possible by conversion to more responsive, integrated, and team structures. For those remaining, "proving oneself" often by receiving abuse at the will of the team members you will work with and defend, remains mandatory.

1. The Application Stage is where you provide some form of communication to one or more members of the sought after organization that you revere and hold them in the greatest respect. You consider their "club" and them, to be living the life you want to live. You consider that there are few other options available to you to enter or work towards which can afford you the same benefits. Often, the group is recognized in your area as forceful (holding Power), fearful (capable of using their Power), influential (able to negotiate with non-member individuals and groups), skilled (more than you), and privileged (able to receive benefits you cannot).

2. The Getting Noticed Stage is what increases your chances of being taken seriously. Most applications are never reviewed, or, simply dumped or ignored by these groups. You must have a special attractiveness, physically, or in skill. Can you show that you have voluntarily and with self-direction perfected your academic marks, your athletic performance, your contacts within the group, your affiliation with influential persons common to both of you, and/or, you have been aggressive enough to take the risk of being rejected in a direct manner. If successful, you will receive one or more invitations to meet, such as for an interview.

3. The Entrance Challenge Stage may be one or more activities.
They may take place at one location and time, or, may be at a variety of locations and times, or, some combination of both. It may be as simple as swearing an oath that YOUR participation in the organization will ALWAYS defer to the leadership and authority of a PERSON who has earned or been given privilege by the group. It is a spiritual challenge that many later find has been missed by self-deception. That LEADER or Regulation Department will be your new God!

Some entrance demands are more emotionally challenging.
YOU might have to agree to strip away a number of external visual cues which you currently use to project your individuality. Standardized uniforms, haircuts, coded language, participation times and places, and a willingness to make the Will of the Group more to be obeyed and respected than ANY other association, including family, friends, and religious mentors. There may be a hazing exercise in which you are challenged to sacrifice your fears, pride, and security to demonstrate your willing obedience. Examples include drinking blood, licking shoes, allowing the other team members to strike you without defence.

4. The Apprenticeship Stage is where and when you are expected to take on the language, behaviors, and responsibilities of the membership, with none of the authority. Mistakes are dealt with harshly and you are soon fearful of doing less than perfect. You often receive criticism for everything you do so that any minor recognition is received with joy approaching ecstasy. This is when you are an intern, runner, undergraduate, junior, supervisor, pusher, aide, backup, .... You increasingly receive more emotionally and physically demanding activities and your apparent responsibilities continue to intensify. Will you do now what you would have refused before applying? You continue not to receive the Respect, much of the time, that you expected, and continue to hope for.

5. The Privileged Stage.
You have remained long enough and been exposed to enough emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges that you are now strongly imprinted with an ethic of service/obedience to whichever organization or title has authority over you. You operate more like a well designed robot than an aware, informed, caring person with sincere commitments beyond you club or professional allegiance. Those at earlier stages of membership treat you like a god with reverence and obedience. Your mistakes are forgotten before they are noticed. You treat those with less authority as you were treated before you had "earned" your stripes, badge, diploma, title, office, and authority. Do others respect you, or fear and revere you?


Education.
Consciously, you want the Respect that has been promised to you by the qualifications of Hard Work or Gifted Skills, justifying a superior education, as impressed upon you repeatedly. You can only get these extended skills AWAY from home, unless, you are home schooled ... which is considered low quality. You are told repeatedly that YOU can only become a Respectable (Self-Secure), Powerful (Self-Confident), and Rich (Self-Freedom) person IF you acquire a specific level of education at a preferred-by-them institution, in their viewpoint. These could include:

    • CEO
    • specialist in medicine
    • millionaire
    • lawyer
    • entertainer, famous
    • singer, famous
    • technical genius
    • writer, famous
    • actor, famous
    • university graduate

These are often expectations transferred to you by parents.
They are more fantasy than real for few persons reach these positions of fame and potential wealth of the thousands making the effort, and, those who do, often work hard for decades to do so. If you BUY these expectations of "miracle" success, it is likely that you will be eternally frustrated in your efforts, or, that you will have to leave your parents to escape the constant toxic shame of letting them down. There are NO stages of achievement and progress in this. The assumptions held, from outside the industries, often mandate this direction as one of fantasy. Those few who DO succeed often have an individual combination of factors which cannot be bought, planned for, or negotiated. These include:

    • Special Aptitude
    • Self-Directedness
    • Stamina/Persistence
    • Courage/Risk
    • Health
    • Joining In
    • Timing
    • Experience
    • Connections
    • Non-verbal Appeal

Many who find this form of Success often share ALL of these traits and factors! Those working towards these directions, yet lacking some of these characteristics, may be inviting CFS-ME or some other chronic illness. You can still develop health enhancement skills and continue on this path ... with more realistic expectations. With those health enhancement skills, you might even acquire more of the characteristics!

Dependency.
Unconsciously, you want the Security that has been promised to us by our parents, a spouse, and other persons influential to us. Providing services and performing labor intensive roles has often suggested security in the past 140 years. You hope that by providing respect to others, they will return the favor. Sometimes, such happens. As production becomes more roboticised, customer service more foreign provided, institutions more restrictive, and business more competitive ... long-term people oriented employment positions are disappearing. Some are becoming obsolete. Relationship commitment is increasingly shorter, more jeopardised, more complex, more demanding, and more often interrupted or broken than at any other time in human history.

Social change is so erratic and challenged by distraction that the prospect of relationships staying together because of emotional or financial dependence is reducing. If you have or become ill with a Package of Illnesses like CFS-ME, dependency will make an already difficult lifestyle into a hell. The remaining healthy and employed person, without the information on these pages, will come to feel taken advantage of and taken for granted. Often, his associates, friends and relatives will begin to add to the tearing you apart factors ... going so far as to suggest they leave you, before YOU force them out of a job, their sanity, and into bankruptcy.

The best way to maintain and regain health, for yourself and your relationships, is to ensure that you are aware of all the factors on these pages, and, that you build for BOTH of you, all of the constructive skills and tools that you possibly can. If you are going to leave it until you have time, you are signing away your relationship(s). Is YOUR health so certain that you can throw it away? It often takes a few days or a week for a socially, physically, career, and family active person to go from full activity to being unable to get out of bed 16 hours a day, or more. Are YOU ready for that!? Is THEIR presence and participation in YOUR life a benefit? Is it responsible to expect them to stay after you become dependent, because YOU did not CARE about YOUR health and YOUR relationship to THEM?

SUMMARY.

    • Confidence is inspired, by Association.
      YOU are an American!

    • Doubt is encouraged by Comparison.
      Other Americans are always better than you?

    • Toxic Shame is transferred by Blame.
      We would not have failed if it were not for YOU!

    • Salvation is offered by Sacrifice.
      If you work harder, longer, .. you could be a Good American.

    • Performance is minimized by Perfectionism.
      You are doing better, yet, not half as good as ....

    • Reward inspires Confidence & Sacrifice.
      You can be Trusted, as long as you do what WE ask.

Conveying a sense of Privilege to a person, and then threatening them with Rejection is a certain way to encourage the development of destructive cascades of emotions and actions/inactions. What follows are a series of Examples to give you a sense of the components that can be summed together. Do not expect that any that you have will be the same, or, even similar. Simply recognize the symptoms and know that there are parts to the whole. Changing the whole will depend upon finding the parts, IF, you want to replace the destructive outcomes with positive ones. The alternatives, are denial or loss.




4. Example: Conflict vs Negotiation

Each Example works the same.
As the first line factor is triggered, the 2nd line factor come to mind, as a real possibility if the first line factor is acted on. That is, first line is acted out, presenting the second line, which if acted upon, presents the 3rd line .... The cascade continues until the mental state of the person grinds to a halt.

These examples are ones that I personally found for myself AFTER I crossed the threshold towards recovery. Had I NOT found them, my Recovery would have been sabotaged, perhaps to no recovery. Don't let this happen to YOU. Check for the presence of cascades. If you have no destructive one's, you then have a greater reality for being Confident in YOUR Recovery.

It is BEST to be an experience of your own, preferably a Practice, during which you have felt the Positive alternative, which for this cascade Example is: Confidence in Negotiation.

If you cannot recall a Personal experience to use as an anchor, endeavour to find an example through the experience/image/practice of a mentor, who may be a key person representing your religion/spiritual practice, a professional associate, a teacher/instructor/preacher, a therapist/doctor/facilitator, friend/relative/parent, a pet/animal/mascot.

6. Example: Rejection vs Acceptance.

Each Example works the same.
As the first line factor is triggered, the 2nd line factor come to mind, as a real possibility if the first line factor is acted on. That is, first line is acted out, presenting the second line, which if acted upon, presents the 3rd line .... The cascade continues until the mental state of the person grinds to a halt.

These examples are ones that I personally found for myself AFTER I crossed the threshold towards recovery. Had I NOT found them, my Recovery would have been sabotaged, perhaps to no recovery. Don't let this happen to YOU. Check for the presence of cascades. If you have no destructive one's, you then have a greater reality for being Confident in YOUR Recovery.

      Corrective Anchor (experience):
    • respect received from a group for a presentation
    • cuddling time spent with a pet
    • (YOUR experience)

Only ONE anchor is required.
It is BEST to be an experience of your own, preferably a Practice, during which you have felt the Positive alternative, which for this cascade Example is: Confidence in Acceptance.

If you cannot recall a Personal experience to use as an anchor, endeavour to find an example through the experience/image/practice of a mentor, who may be a key person representing your religion/spiritual practice, a professional associate, a teacher/instructor/preacher, a therapist/doctor/facilitator, friend/relative/parent, a pet/animal/mascot.




7. Example: Weakness vs Vitality.

Each Example works the same.
As the first line factor is triggered, the 2nd line factor come to mind, as a real possibility if the first line factor is acted on. That is, first line is acted out, presenting the second line, which if acted upon, presents the 3rd line .... The cascade continues until the mental state of the person grinds to a halt.

These examples are ones that I personally found for myself AFTER I crossed the threshold towards recovery. Had I NOT found them, my Recovery would have been sabotaged, perhaps to no recovery. Don't let this happen to YOU. Check for the presence of cascades. If you have no destructive one's, you then have a greater reality for being Confident in YOUR Recovery.

8. Stabilization for Recovery.
It is important to consider that the NUMBER of steps in a cascade reaction is unimportant. The cascade sequence will continue to build steps until your further involvement is HALTED. The stronger or more intense each step is, the faster YOU will reach the Panic point. YOUR cascade sequence(s) may only be a few steps long. The ones I have shared with you here are longer than many because they have many low to medium intensity fears.

Testing is the only way to ensure your health and recovery.
You may have a life that has been filled with experiences of courage, spiritual strength, self-direction, and involvement. If you have CFS-ME at this point, there are some critical factors to be addressed before assured recovery is possible. The ONLY diagnostic medium which alerted me to the Fear Cascades was an ETA-Scan. It revealed the presence and strengths of fears. It sis NOT indicate what most of those were. The full detail, I determined with Spiritual Guidance. THAT, was humbling!

Other forms of energetic testing will likely be productive in determining IF you have cascade patterns and their composition, now that you know WHAT they are and WHAT the components can be. That provides you with a breadth of Relevant questions. As always, you cannot be strong if you are unaware of the weaknesses present. Once discovered, you then have Options, and, Choice.

Here are a few steps to assist your Recovery when cascade patterns are involved.

  1. Know the info on this page.
  2. Identify YOUR cascades.
  3. Ensure removal of heavy metal toxins.
  4. Reduce any parasite overloads.
  5. Change your Adrenal Action threshold.
  6. Increase your Self-Direction.
  7. Increase your Spiritual strengths.
  8. Affirm, negotiate, confirm your Response.
  9. Take action!


Personal Comment:

I DO state that this option/awareness can be effective for many persons who have more singular or less devastating forms of ill health, including a number of cancers. CFS-ME is defined by a person acquiring any 5 or more of 13 specific acute expressions of chronic illnesses. I have experienced significant health improvement personally from this awareness, and/or, witnessed a number of other people benefiting from it.

Strengths often become weaknesses when applied to extremes or in situations where they are not relevant. Even as complexity in a reality which is singular is foolish and wasteful, simplicity in a reality of complexity is destructive and often deadly.

The information on this page may be relevant for you now, or, tomorrow, or, later, or, never. Consider that it will be relevant for friends and/or relatives and that YOUR mention of it to them provides them with an opportunity for them to decide for themselves if it is something they wish to consider, or, if they also would like to share it with others. YOU can make a positive difference in the world of tomorrow.



Advisory:

Always remember, just because anything is on paper or in print, there is no one forcing you to read it or believe it. Neither does it have any authority over you in the context of asserting that it is factual, the truth, or relevant for YOU. God gave you a brain with the capacity of discernment and CHOICE. Learn to use it so that you can be the director of YOUR life and the author of YOUR biography. What is on these pages is an invitation to Open some doors and consider some options for the strengthening of YOUR life and the Recovery, or, sustaining of YOUR health. It is YOUR choice what you do with it.

This is a personal recommendation based upon successful experience. These options/this discernment I have found to be effective and beneficial for myself and others. You have the benefit of utilizing them as early as you become aware of them. I did not have such a Tool bag. I muddled and searched my way through until Recovery.

I have since gone back, and with Spiritual Guidance, made a format out of the pieces. Some tools and benefits I defined AFTER Recovery in order to SUSTAIN recovery. Many people who have Recovered from CFS-ME cannot revisit the illness experience without sacrificing their recovery. With the help of Spiritual Forces and a supportive partner, I did that in order to outline and provide this and other tools for YOUR Recovery, and to sustain my own. Make it worth the effort. I am.

Always be sure to muscle test or use Spiritual Guidance to determine if it is applicable to you, or for someone else from whom you have the permission to ask for, at the time of your interest.

Note that muscle testing can be subverted by strong and immature identity factors (Ego or SuperEgo, or, both). Note that some options are best for us at some times or in a sequence with other skills, attitudes, therapies or products, rather than at all times. Some, are simply beneficial for gaining and maintaining optimal health.


We change Reality with our awareness, beliefs, perceptions, responses, and reactions. Alive, we contribute either benefits or losses to the future for ourselves and the universe. God gave you Choice.
A Gift denied is an expression of rejection and hate.
A Gift respected is a gift used wisely.
