Welcome! This site is about healing, and what's going on in the world related to health.

Firstly, there's an old Zen story, which goes something like this. The student visits the master. He has his cup, full of water, and is yabbering away. The master picks up a jug of water, and pours it over the student's cup. But as the cup is already full, the master's water spills over, none of it staying in the cup. The master says to the student: "You must empty your cup before I can fill it."

Relating this to what's going on currently in the world, I don't ask anyone to give up the information and experience that they have gained so far. However, there has to be room to hear another opinion. There has to be the possibility of accepting that one has been misled - at least to some extent. As we grow through life, the more perceptive people realize that the world is nowhere near as simple as it seemed at 25.

As an advocate for natural healing, you can imagine I've had many conversations with people about the COVID situation over the last year. There've been many controversial events over the last 20 years, including a number of pandemics. But never have I been so frustrated at people's inability to think rationally. And so I'm going to start by trying to clear away some hubris.
