It is one of the commonest of our mistakes
to consider that the limit of our power of perception
is also the limit of all that there is to perceive.
Charles Webster Leadbeater
If the doors of perception were cleansed
everything would appear as it is, infinite.
William Blake
Challenging perceptions has been a theme in both my healing and spiritual journeys.
In our Ireland experiences, we are constantly reminding ourselves that, as Chief Sealth said, we have not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Replacing our culturally conditioned perception of web domination with one of surrendering to and being one with the web seems both ongoing and essential to stepping through the veil to connect with the Sacred Alliance. We’re getting there. It’s glorious! And it calls us to a very focused intention.
My healing journey was a reminder of the rigidity of our cultural conditioning, especially when those culturally conditioned perceptions becomes institutionalized. As in medicine.
My medical team was, and for the most part remains, flummoxed by the healing protocols I chose and the healing that has happened. Even when presented with medical evidence, they don’t seem to be able to take it on board. In my case, the evidence was there from the beginning that the protocols were working. The first scan in August showed a concern for cancer in my lymph nodes. A followup scan in October indicated no concern for this. Blood draws were showing no cancer in my blood. And a chest scan showed no metastasis which they strongly assumed would be present. But they seemingly couldn’t see or acknowledge this. Their medical perspective seems to hold no place for protocols beyond the cut, poison, and burn protocols. Even dietary changes and supplements are shrugged off as inconsequential.
Talking with a friend, she commented that perhaps my healing journey might change some things. Might open their minds. Well. That would be wonderful and I will be interested to see if that happens. But the doors of perception don’t open themselves and we have to be open as well. And, as I know well in this spiritual journey, that takes some work.
But when the doors are open, everything is infinite. And worlds open to us.

Exactly. As I was finishing this post, my husband commented on the zebra. Four zebras escaped while being transported across Washington state. One, caught here on a trail camera, has now been rescued but was many days alone in a landscape filled with cougars. Flooding Facebook during that time were photoshopped images of the zebra in various ridiculous locations. Dennis noted that only one he read showed any concern for the welfare of the zebra. Which is both sad and a comment on how we see nature for our entertainment and amusement.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Stories of healing, especially from an illness such as cancer, help us all to look beyond the one conventional medicine story we have been told. And also to look within our own being for the light of the truth of who we are, and not for what is wrong with me. I am a firm believer and supporter of non-conventional healing, and have found it very helpful in my own life.
Thank you so much for this comment, Catherine. One primary reason in sharing my story is exactly this. That others might be inspired to look beyond the conventional medical story. And affirmations like yours encourage that! Thank you.
Our medical profession does not have a way to look at information that is not produced by research and trials. In general, these are funded by drug companies. (No surprise.)
Your professionals do not have a way to use the changes happening in your body to help other patients. They need years and years of study and hundreds of tests……. Too bad, but true.
When I first learned of the benefits of autophagy and intermittent fasting, I could not find a Dr in AZ who had a clue about how to change my current meds to accommodate IM. No one knew about the 2016 Nobel Prize for medicine and how knowledge of autophagy could be utilized in their practice!
So glad you are following your heart and being guided, Judith!🦁🐺
Hey Son. Thanks for your insights. Exactly. It can indeed be challenging to find support for the healing paths we choose. Much love!
You are so right about medical perceptions needing to change and be open to things other than allopathic! I left allopathic medicine for herbalism and essential oils along with reiki and reflexology and crystal healing when I became an entrepreneur. Loved my clients as they wanted to participate in their health care not be dictated to by doctors but be their own advocates. Sure very few came back because they had learned to care for themselves!
Enjoy Ireland for me this year 😊💜
