Take a deep breath... a deep natural breath. Now, doesn't that feel good? Do you ever notice how blissful it feels to simply breathe? How naturally it occurs?
Take another breath...
The wind in the trees, the waves in the sea, sounds like breath... just listen...
Have another Breath...
In most religions The Name of God is a forbidden word. It can not be spoken and it cannot be pronounced. Why? If it can be spelled out in a Holy Book then why can't it be pronounced? If you were to spell the sound of your breath, how would you spell it? What letters would you use? Would it be Ahhlllahh? Or YYYWWAAHHYY? Or Yeshhuahh?
God's name can't be pronounced because it is not a word! It is the Sound of the Breath!
Now, Breathe...
Everybody breathes. Even the wind and the water and the trees. We are ALL part of God's Creation and Divinely connected to each other through the intelligence that makes God manifest within us and around us!
So Breathe, and know that You Are God.
Breathe on that...

CHIROPRACTIC IS LIKE VIAGRA
Great :)
Now that I got your attention, let me explain.
The idea that Chiropractic is like Viagra has been rolling around in my head for a little while now.
Have you seen the episode of House where Dr. House is being reprimanded for prescribing that little blue pill to a patient with a heart condition? It's quite funny to watch him sarcastically remind them that Viagra was originally intended for a heart condition! How funny, but true! Due to it's "adverse side effect" it became the most prescribed (recreational) drug ever written.
When I got into chiropractic school I was shocked to learn that many chiropractors never really learned the history and original intention of chiropractic. How Chiropractic was channeled to DD Palmer through a spiritual medium, explaining, not just how to do it, but how it will help humanity evolve, by connecting the physical body with the Spiritual.
What happened? It became about the symptoms, back pain, neck pain, relief from asthma or high blood pressure or ear infections. These are all "side effects" of chiropractic! Health, Healing, improved quality of life are the results of Chiropractic! By focusing on side effects, and not its original intention, it became all about the" bling" and lost it's way.
Now, I don't mean to include all chiropractors in this, I know many that are quite aware of Chiropractic's history and intention, but the challenge is communicating it to the average person.
And that's when this analogy came to me.
Y'know, I've heard that in 2012 there will be a great shift in the consciousness of humankind. Perhaps now is the perfect time to make people aware of what Chiropractic was intended to do.
Peace

The Origins of The Little Goddess
Little Goddess is the name that my Satguru AMMA gave to me. "Devika" Devi = Goddess, ka=little. I waited patiently and longingly for a name from AMMA. I came very close once. She had stopped giving names just before she got to me, so I decided to ask her during my Darshan. To my delight, she decided to give a few more names, again I came so close! I had a choice to allow someone to go before me. So, I did. And AMMA gave him a name. And I sat there and cried. AMMA and Swamiji kept leaning over to look at me. I figured I had to let go of my WANTING a name so badly and allowing it to be given to me at the right time. I wondered if she would give me a name like "The Patient One" or something. Finally, about a year or so later, I got to AMMA's side where Swamiji opened a small piece of paper and said to AMMA, "Devika, Devika". AMMA looked at me and said, "Devika".
So that's me in a nutshell.

The Miracle of Science
Ever stop and think about how you were created? One day, two cells, from two separate bodies, each containing half of the chromosomes of every other cell in the body, got together. When these two cells got together something amazing happened, they began to form a human being! Science can explain each step of this process in detail, from the blob of cells, to the development of the various systems and organs of the body, to the first breath and then some. Science also states that matter is neither created nor destroyed it is merely changed, this obviously does not apply to the creation of life. Mathematics states that one plus one is two. Yet, in the creation of a life it is the only time where one plus one makes three! Think about that for a moment. Think about the simple and profound Intelligence that can defy the laws of science and math, that is Life. This Intelligence, that put us together with molecules that could be traced to the cosmos, did not abandoned us when we left our mother's womb and took our first breath. It stayed with us and grows with us, it is within us.
The power that created us, can also heal us. Now, unfortunately, so many people have lost their faith in this power that is Innate within them. This power can heal the deepest wound and the most horrible sickness, if it is free to express itself, without any interference.
Symptoms like coughing, sneezing, vomiting, sweating, fever, runny nose, diarrhea and the like are the result of our bodies immune response kicking in and getting whatever is ailing us out of our system to restore us to health. Let me elaborate; say someone sneezes on you or coughs next to you, your body immediately takes action and recognizes that there is a foreign body ready to enter you and by the time that virus has found it's way into your body, those white blood cells or T-cells or whatever cells have been called forth are ready and able to attack it, kill it and get rid of it, by coughing, sneezing, fever, etc. You see?
If you were to take a cold pill and suppress these symptoms, all the junk that your body needs to rid itself of stays in your system. You may be symptom free, but you certainly won't be healthier! This will build over time if the cycle continues and could develop into something worse. If you take a vaccine to prevent an illness, you must understand that by injecting the vaccine directly into your blood stream, you bypass all the levels of defense your body has to fight the virus naturally. These vaccines not only contain the virus they claim to inoculate you from, but also preservatives like mercury and formaldehyde. Your body has a lot to defend itself against all at once and without warning. A vaccine is like a sneak attack on your system!
So, how do you allow Innate to express itself without interference?

Once Upon a Bible
Once upon a time there was a man named Abraham. Abraham talked to God. They would have lots of interesting conversations that people from all over the world would travel far and wide to hear. Abraham helped people talk to God which is what made him special. One day God said to Abraham that he would have "as many children as there are stars in the sky". "Well," said Abraham, "I'd better get started!" And he ran home to his wife Sarah, with a BIG smile on his face.
As the days turned to months, Sarah and Abraham still had no children. Polygamy being more common then, Sarah suggested that Abraham do it with her maid Hagar and see if anything happens. And it did! Hagar had a boy and he was named Ishmael. That's one star
It would be about 13 years until Abraham would have another son. In the mean time, Abraham taught Ishmael everything he knew. They had a good father son relationship. Hagar, on the other hand, wasn't so secure. You see, Sarah was still the favored wife and still had no children. Hagar wanted her out! She wanted to be sure that her son would inherit whatever they inherited back then... Sarah had to do something, and quick! So she prayed and was guided to take herbs and tinctures and try different sexual positions and lo and behold, she became pregnant and beautiful! And Abraham was pleased, for he'd never tried positions like that before! Nine moons later a son was born, and he was named Isaac. That's two stars
God then told Abraham about circumcision... So, at the age of 90 Abraham took a blade and cut his own foreskin. So much for every star in the sky! He then took the blade to Ishmael who was 13 years old. It took a little convincing, but Abraham said something about entering manhood, and so it was. Isaac was 7 days old. One day he would find himself on a sacrificial alter with his father holding the blade, this time to his throat. That experience he would remember, not this one.
It would take a few days for them to recover.
Then one day something terrible happened. To this day no one really knows what it was. Sarah and Hagar fought over their son's birthright, but neither woman knew the true fate of those two brothers. You see, Ishmael would become that father of the Arab nation and Isaac the father of the Israeli nation. The fate of these nations would determine the fate of the world for generations to come!
It came to be that Hagar and Ishmael were cast into the desert, with only enough food and water for 3 days. While this was enough to sustain them until they got to the tribe next door, Hagar was mad and would cry about the injustice done to her and her son! They got lost, ran our of food and water and Hagar sent Ishmael away as she sat under a tree and perished.
As for the brothers, all that was left to tell was their story of injustice and how sad it was for them to be separated. But they had one thing in common, their God. They would pray and know that they are One. But, as the brothers passed on and the stories lived on, the Love between brothers would be forgotten and the nation of Ishmael and the nation of Isaac would grow and fight each other for generations. Over 4000 years the war would go on. Neither side knowing or remembering why the war was started in the first place. It had just become a habit to fight and to hate.
But one day, God returned to Earth, and the two nations remembered that they are brothers, and they lay down their weapons and embraced in love and joy. And Peace rippled around the world and across the universe!

A Message to Celebrity Scientologists
I have been an observer, just watching Anonymous protest against the Church of Scientology for the past two years and I find these protests fascinating.
I want to say a little something to the celebrities of Scientology and that is... Your silence has not gone unnoticed. You need to start speaking up, before people start thinking that your silence equals compliance. Now, I have taken it upon myself to put together a little list of the crimes of Scientology that I have witnessed through videos, internet, TV, news, and other various media sources and here is what I've observed: physical abuse, mental and emotional abuse, extortion, breaking up families, forced abortions, child labor, forced slave labor, stalking, suppression of free speech, medical negligence and malpractice, espionage, human rights violations, fraud, harassment, frivolous lawsuits, cause of suicide, blackmail, bull-baiting, tampering with evidence, general lack of respect for fellow human beings, human trafficking, murder, protecting rapists and child abusers, and outright lies in the media!
Tommy Davis, when I see you on TV or on the net... any words that come out of your mouth, I wonder if you are even capable of telling the truth. You're not fooling anyone. This is coming from someone who is just observing, I'm not a member of anonymous, I don't wear a mask, and I'm not saying this to be critical, even though it may sound that way.
I want everyone to be happy, I want everyone to acknowledge each other as human beings, which we all are! We were all created the same way, we all came from our mother, and we need to start being nicer to each other.
Some might say that these sufferings are the result of someones karma or past lives or something, and that may be true. But if it's someones karma to suffer, isn't it our karma to help them? I mean, if you see someone fall into a hole are you just going to walk past him and say, Oh it's his karma. No! You're going to help them out of the hole! ( as I'm sure you'd want them to do for you)
As Celebrities of Scientology, you are in such a great position to help those that are suffering in Scientology... and they really are suffering! I understand that you are kept rather isolated from these incidences, but this has been going on for over 2 years! It's been getting bigger and bigger! I find it hard to believe that you're so completely isolated that you haven't been exposed to it for even a moment and stopped to wonder why it is happening and what you can do about it... before it ruins you.
I don't see how the authorities, or any authority, can put an "end" to the church and it's abuses. Before I elaborate on that statement let me say that as far as Anonymous goes, I don't see them as a terrorist/hate group at all. Terrorists use fear to induce panic and manipulate the masses, and I don't see Anonymous doing that at all. I see Anonymous spreading awareness, educating the public regarding Scientology's fraud and abuse and giving ex-Scientologists the courage to speak out and tell their story and helping those on the inside free themselves from an oppressive situation. And they do this all non-violently! Which is why this is all happening so quickly. History has shown that a non-violent approach can get things accomplished exponentially faster than any violent conflict.
It's really inspiring to see how things are unfolding the way they are, because I see Scientology as a kind of reflective microcosm of the macrocosm. Let me explain; There is so much corruption and lies within our global system that is being exposed more and more everyday. Within our political system, judicial system, corporate system, financial system, medical and pharmaceutical system, educational system, religious system, the fraud and abuse is getting harder to deny. All over the world people are becoming aware and are starting to take a stand. It's all about people finally waking up!
You can shake someone who is asleep just once and they will wake up, without a problem. But if you shake someone who is pretending to be asleep, they won't budge, even if you shake them a thousand times. Celebrities of Scientology, people are going to start thinking that you're pretending to be asleep! WAKE UP! Please! Open your eyes and see what is going on right under your nose! There are people suffering! A lot of people suffering!
Things are pretty crazy on planet Earth, I agree with you. But from what I can see, things are also pretty crazy in the Church of Scientology!
I say this all with Love and Compassion. If I am going to be "fair game" (stalked or harassed like other critics of Scientology) for what I'm saying, then so be it, because I see that kind of behavior as exacerbating the downfall of Scientology*. I hope there is at least one celebrity scientologist out there that will read this message and wake up to what's happening in their "church" and to the people in it and do something to help.
If Scientology is going to have any kind of future, things are really going to have to change. I mean, If I were a devout Catholic and I found out that my child was abused by a priest, I would speak out and raise HELL! But I could still be Catholic, because those disgusting abuses have nothing to do with the spiritual practices of my religion. Are the list of abuses that I made earlier a part of the "spiritual" practices of Scientology? One would wonder... I don't see the Church of Scientology taking a stand and speaking out against these abuses. They just come back with character assassinations of those that speak out. "You don't know their crimes","They're lying!", "They're on psych drugs", "yadda yadda yadda", You know what, don't insult my intelligence! We're not idiots out here! We see what's going on; and YOU gotta see what's going on!
I leave you with a little prayer ~ "May All Beings in All the Worlds Be Happy and Peaceful"
*honestly, I'd rather not be stalked or harassed.
