[note: this is an excerpt from a conversation about mainstream and alternative treatments for bipolar symptoms]

(MFGH) One of the problems with man-made medicine is that it has no consciousness of its own that you can dialogue with. There are also other energies that are carried with them besides just their chemical make up. They also carry the history of their manufacture, and even (faintly) the whole system that created them.

You can dialogue with the scientists that developed them, however. That might be useful.

(me) thank you. how would I dialogue with the scientists?'

(MFGH) well you could do it on the outside and the inside. We can help you talk to the Oversouls of those involved. Particularly those you have karma with.

A lot of people get involved with the science of making drugs because a loved one was afflicted by an illness and they want to help others with the same problems. They tend to be the heart people. Then there are the more Ahrimanic points of view. These people think it is a problem with body and it is their right place to fix it. Both people have to harden their hearts in order to do the testing, first on animals, then on people. And as you know, there is not a lot of openness to the kinds of information that the Will can provide, both from the researchers and the testees.

So it is not a very holistic process.

(me) what about the energy that wants to control the Will/Indigo?

(God) yes, and this goes way beyond just the medical system. There was a cultural shift from classifying Indigo people as "seers" during the Dark Ages. With the rise of Christianity, the problem was seen as one of demonic possession. And this was not wrong in many cases, as some problems were a result of Luciferian or asuric influences. So the Church got involved, which meant that the Purple gap and the gap between Purple and Indigo got involved too.

Now, as you know, many religious people feel that mental illness is a moral issue. They feel it is a matter of prayer and faith. And there is truth to this. But the Indigo people often have a resistance to this, because of bad experiences and judgments that they made in relationship to Me. Or else they swing the other way and feel guilt for not receiving me "correctly."

The chemical solution, on the other hand, is more of a Blue solution. This is a more blatant manifestation of the desire to control or shut down Indigo and the will. At this point they have so much control of the planet that "mentally ill" indigo "seeing" is not a threat. Other kinds of indigo seeing, such as the media, is a much bigger problem for them.

The chemical solution is not only a desire to control, it is also a desire to help. And also stems from a feeling of responsibility and guilt. Your suspicion that many psychiatrists have personal karma here does have some validity.

The shift from the "demonic" to the "illness" model is an improvement in some ways, given the Purple gap. But it shifted the focus from being a spiritual problem to being a physical one, and of course the solution then became a physical one. It would be more accurate to say that the problem is a combination of both, and so the solution is a combination of both. This is true of all illnesses.

Medical interventions can keep you alive and participate in life, but they do not solve the problem by themselves. You have to think carefully about the interventions you choose, and of course feel into them. It is hard to be clear because of the heavy cultural expectations about healing.

There is a very dangerous desire to exploit the "ill" person that manifests in all kinds of forms in both the standard medical and alternative medical contexts. Various original motivations combine with the profit motive and off they go.

The reason that it is dangerous is that the ill person does not get good information about their choices. The information is hidden or distorted or presented from an unnamed or even unrecognized point of view.

So you have to do your own due diligence.

Meanwhile, there are systems and healers that work with the Second Attention. In America, the mainstream culture has lost these bodies of knowledge, so you are having to either import it from other cultures or reinvent it. This has gone in two directions, 1) the self-help movement, including 12 step programs, and 2) New Age.

The benefit you have now is that you have many traditions to draw on, and a freedom to combine them in new ways. The down side is that it is hard to know what to choose, how to evaluate the various choices, and the practictioners may not have the benefit of apprenticeship.

I like the peer-to-peer model of getting assistance, because there is first hand experience with the problem and an empathy for the point of view for the person seeking help. But you may also require the assistant of experts outside of your pool of peers.

(me) is it really possible to heal mental illness (MI)?

(God) some of the healing is going to take place as the burden is removed from the fragments who are manifesting MI. Some of the healing is going to take place as the right place for seers is manifest in the culture. Some of the healing is going to take place as the folks with MI learn new strategies for coping with the symptoms. But some of it is going to be actual healing of the chemical imbalances and structures in the brain.

(me) if my BP is a mark of being a shaman, I don't know if I want to give it up. If it is part of my Indigo heritage, I don't know if I want to "heal" it.

(God) now that is self-acceptance!

(me) well of course I want the good stuff without the bad stuff. The depression sucks.

(God) It is possible to heal depression. But some lost will is very depressed, so as you bring more in, it will seem like you aren't making any progress.

Having a choice of when to work with depression would be a good goal for you to have. I know that a lot of your frustration is born from not feeling in control of when you work with each pole [depression and mania].

(me) I could live with that. Thank you.
