Hi, I found your article here from your link on Dr. Paul Alexander's Substack. Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom. I liked your stories of healing and read some of your other articles, as well.

Can I ask you a few questions?...

Do you have any intuitions on the Covid Vax that's harming people and how to cure it?

Are you still doing healing now?

You studied a lot of religions. What's your current practice now? Subud?

If the African-American part of Chicago was doing so well before the 1960's what happened that made it become so violent now?

ADDENDUM TO MY PREVIOUS NOTE:

You will discover that there are other analyses of what happened to bring on the violence. Some say that it was the destruction of America's industrial base. Black men, at one time, were able to get fairly good-paying jobs in suburban factories. They could raise families on one income.

It's said that when the industrial base crashed, that's when the Black family began to be destroyed, and that led to violence. Well, there are those of us who take the hard-nosed position that, "NO!!" We believe that had our VALUES remained intact, we would have weathered the economic storms. Besides, what ELSE was there to do? Just roll over and DIE? No. Must keep pushing.

But, again, this is not a popular view. But it's a view I will NEVER give up. I had a friend who was a "stomp-down, hardcore" drug addict, hooked on "the sh*t," i.e., heroin. But he worked hard and got himself cleaned up, and went on to become a MEDICAL DOCTOR. In fact, he became one of the top emergency medical physicians in metropolitan Chicago.

So, as hard as I sound, that's how I feel: NO EXCUSES. None.

I will give you some suggestions. But, firstly, as I always make clear--and as I'm sure you understand--each individual MUST take care of themselves. Any advice I gave, or give, should not be assumed to be sacrosanct, and I do not give that advice as an allopathic (medical) practitioner. In my view, the various healthcare practices ALL have some value. But, based on my personal experience, and the testimonies at ________, here is what I would recommend to those who got The Jab and might now be very worried:

They should consider learning the Qigong exercise/meditation, and maybe even the spiritual aspects, that are taught FOR FREE by Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) practitioners. Again: NO GUARANTEES.

In the year 2014, I contracted a very sore left arm. On account of what happened to my daughter, whom, as you read, I cured myself, I'm too distrustful of medical doctors, so I was just hoping that I could "work it out." That didn't happen, and my arm got worse.

Well, one year later, 2015, I still had that arm pain and it was getting worse. It so happened that our anniversary was coming up, and I was trying to think of what anniversary present to purchase for my wife. Someone suggested that I take her to a Shen Yun Performing Arts Troupe performance:

https://www.shenyun.com/

I purchased two tickets, and we went. They had an 80-piece orchestra that played both Classical Chinese music and Classical European music. My wife is a classical violinist who has played in professional orchestras, and when I asked her her opinion of their competence, she said, "Absolutely superb!!"

At one point, before a break, all 80 performers stood for a standing ovation. I noticed that NONE of them smiled, except for one person. Yet, despite not smiling, they didn't look like some cult. They just looked very serene. That intrigued me.

I then started reading the Program. It mentioned that each member is asked to learn and practice the Qigong of Falun Dafa, though they're not required to. I don't know why, but I was very intrigued.

The program included Falun Dafa's website: https://en.falundafa.org/

After the performance, we went home and I immediately went to that website, and found this link that gives the location, globally, of Dafa practitioners:

https://en.falundafa.org/falun-dafa-global-contacts.html

I cursored down that page and found a group near me. I live in a suburb of Chicago. I called, and an elderly Chinese lady, right on the spot, offered to teach me at her home. Instead, I asked if there was some central place I could go to. She gave me the address of where they practice on Sundays at 8:00 a.m. I went. By the way, they now teach online, though, personally, I would never try to learn Qigong online. I prefer to be with human beings in person.

I decided, on the spot, to learn their Qigong method because they looked SO serene in group Practice. A Chinese man, Warren, stood and sat before me, guiding me through the moves of the five Qigong exercises of Falun Dafa.

Though I had not a single thing in mind about my arm, after one month of Sunday Practice and everyday Practice on my own, my arm issue had vanished. I have been practicing ever since.

Practitioners testify to all kinds of ailments having been cured, including cancer. Naturally, I can give no guarantee. But the exercise/meditation routines themselves greatly improved my overall health. They're not interested in money at all. They will teach whoever wishes to learn. They are very, very nice people.

Now, I just asked my wife if she's aware of anything that can be done about any ailment that The Jab might have caused. She said that she saw a few places online that claimed that "that stuff" can be washed out of you. I have no idea about that. So, sorry, but the Qigong is the only thing I can recommend. And, of course, I can't give any guarantees about Qigong.

Falun Dafa is a "cultivation practice" and you will be told that the spiritual is not separated from the exercises. Myself, being a 1960s renegade, didn't care. I perform the Qigong of Falun Dafa, and have no problem whatsoever even though I adhere to a certain religion. I generally keep such things to myself. In short, I do MY thing, and avoid talking about it in order to avoid unnecessary arguing about religion, spirituality, etc.

Both my wife and I discontinued our BodyTalk Practice. My wife got more busy with her violin instruction to her many students. She's a private-lesson teacher. I started writing articles at Medium.com out of concern for American society. I wanted to contribute. Then I switched to Substack. I might go back to practicing BodyTalk, but I'm not sure. I'm retired, and can't figure out WHICH 900 things I'd like to do. 😊 Learn Chinese, piano, return to martial arts, BodyTalk, chess, write. Oy vey!! I'm PITIFUL!!

As regards my current spiritual practices, I kinda wish to keep that to myself. Let's just say that seven decades of life on this earth has made me a bit....syncretic. But, I've narrowed my syncretism down, and I'm very, very consistent with the different stuff that I do.

I do have A religion I follow. But I've experienced that most people of my religion take a NARROW view of verses of its scripture, when, in fact, the verses actually present a very WIDE and supremely tolerant view. I do not like the idea of "The One And Only True Religion of God." Been there. Done that. Ain't interested. I see big value in ALL religions, as well as spiritual practices. I guess I'm just a 1960s hippie. 😊

On the question of the violence in the Black community, the VERY, VERY BEST explanation, in my opinion, of how that evolved can be found in two documentaries:

Uncle Tom -- https://www.bitchute.com/video/whiOZxsui68d/

Uncle Tom II -- https://www.uncletom.com/

VERY powerful documentaries!! And you'll get your answer there. You might also wish to search at YouTube for "Thomas Sowell" and watch the interviews of him. Dr. Claud Anderson and Larry Elder are others that give excellent coverage of that phenomena.

You might wish to also view a video that I created:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbe119Pjsx4&t=0s

I must tell you that I carry a very HARD-NOSED view that would be very unpopular amongst today's young Black folks who want to blame everything under the sun on "the White Man." Back in my day, in the 1950s, there was no such Black group identified as "Black conservatives." We just LIVED conservatively, pre-1960s. It wasn't a political statement. It was just LIFE.

But, if I had to be given some label of that type, I guess I'd be caste as a "Black conservative." And, in a word, what I think [again, I'm hard-nosed] is that our people gave up their VALUES, when the 1960s hit, just as the rest of America did. That's what I witnessed.

If you read my book, Uncle Tom's Uncle, Second Edition, you'll read about what an absolute (and NON-APOLOGETIC) asshole I was when I tutored students in math, science, and engineering the University of Illinois. I HAD to be. Because, our people were being watched by the university at large. So, NO WAY was I gonna be SOFT on my people. And that's how 1950s Black parents were: BRUTAL. But it was a healthy "brutality" that produced excellent and successful human beings.

So, in a word? I'd say that what brought on the violence, ultimately, was a loss of VALUES, in large part brought on by the destruction of the Black family. Just my opinion based on what I observed.

Peace,

Ron

Thank you for your detailed reply, Ron. I learned a lot. Maybe we all need a spiritual lifeboat to climb into now!

You're very welcome. I don't preach religion or spirituality, but, yes: I think we all DO need a spiritual lifeboat. I know that I do. This world is WAY to intense for me to try to handle everyday life by myself. And the last DRINK I had was 48 years ago, in 1975. 😊 So, spirituality keeps me afloat.

I forgot to give you a link to the Falun Dafa page where you can read testimonies of Dafa practitioners that had ailments cured by the performance of the Practice:

https://en.minghui.org/

When you get to that page, click on the tab that says "Cultivation," in the menu bar at the top, over towards the left. When that tab opens, you will see, over on the right, categories of topics. There is no ONE category that records practitioner testimonies of being healed. I think that just about all of them do. You'd just have to search through them, if interested.

Peace,

Ron
