The 2007 Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona was quite an event. Some of the presenters that I watched should be heard on primetime TV. Two that really struck me were Jasmuheen (www.jasmuheen.com) and David Wolfe (www.davidwolfe.com). Now, I’ll say right here that I missed far more of the event than I took in. A friend of mine arranged for me…

Health and Healing: Where 'Silver Bullets' Lie
Each day I have had the privilege of talking to many people who are now doing battle with the disease monkey. They’re not taking it laying down anymore. They are combating everything from “the familiar,” heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, to the unfamiliar, such as Graves, Dercum’s or Morgellon’s disease. If they are talking to me, it’s because they…
Read MoreA Stupor for Superbugs
The fear machine has ramped up in a recent Associated Press story about Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. It’s reportedly a deadly “superbug,” that enters the bloodstream or turns into a flesh eating disease. The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which means that it must be true. Well, that depends. If you didn’t…
Read MoreRaw Fest Awakenings: Discovering Jasmuheen
I traveled to Sedona to visit the Raw Spirit Festival. This is the third annual running of this event. Whether you are into raw foods or not, it is an experience worth having. I will say that, if you are not into raw foods, you will likely give it serious consideration. If you are dealing with chronic, acute, and catastrophic…
Read MoreOn Being Fine Examples and Knowing Your Self
The story of the “miracle mineral supplement,” is yet in its infancy. Is it the “magic bullet” to ending our disease conundrum? I don’t think so, but it is an important component. Over 75,000 people were cured of malaria in the African countries of Uganda and Malawi, as Jim Humble persevered in isolating the actual agent of change that killed…
Read MoreThoughts on Love Redux
I received the following comments from Fred, a man who read my essay, Thoughts on Love: the Greatest Power. > So it is fearful to be skeptical of pseudoscience, Of course not. It’s fearful to attempt to put an idea that you don’t agree, or understand with down. Whether it is science or pseudo science, it is your conclusion that it…
Read MoreMagnesium Replenishment: Spreading the Word and Getting ‘the Point’
When I wrote and published this article in 2007, the word was spreading about magnesium. I called it the biggest, most important mineral component to human health ever to be so profoundly ignored by modern medicine. Much has changed in the intervening years, but magnesium’s importance and value is till largely unknown. Yet, people are learning, and in many cases,…
Read MoreKnowing Self as Key to Health and Healing
Stepping Out of Ignorance My recent article, “No Miracle, Just Wonderful Chemistry,” is catching the attention of a lot of people who are seeking solutions to long standing health issues, either personal or for someone they know or love. Do they dare consider this simple, inexpensive way to clean their insides of the pathogenic gunk produced by our environment, allopathic…
Read MoreHuman Evolution: A Declaration of Intent
Evolution is a word we use to acknowledge and point to a process of change; the arc from one point, and form of expression to another. The expression can be anything; a person, place, or thing. It can span eons or an ephemeral moment. Common attributes to all evolutionary views, are beginning and end points. Our view of evolution is a static view of a process…
Read MoreThoughts on God: The Nature of Spirit
When I was a youngster growing up on Chicago’s south side, I got my fill of church. I still feel “young,” but today cannot really claim that description, unless I’m talking to someone 80 or 90 years of age. (I still feel young though.) I attended church regularly, for that’s what we did in our household. I joined the church…
Read MoreMagnesium: Food Your Body Needs
People are discovering, and talking about magnesium, and it’s no longer just about cool wheels for their cars. In fact, it hasn’t been about wheels for a long time. Many of the people who dug “mag wheels” are now discovering that their body needs trace amounts of this important metal more than their car ever did. Thanks to a number…
Read MoreTalk For Food Guest: Marion Meadows
I’ve just posted this week’s Talk for Food show. My guest is saxophonist Marion Meadows. What was originally planned to start around 7 or 8 pm, eventually started around 1:30 (am), and ended after 3 am. Yet, it was the perfect confluence of resonant interests; my love of, and connection to jazz, an evolving radio show, friendship with Marion, and…

Gallery Entrance, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Last November, I spoke at the Traveling the Spaceways Exhibit and Symposium, at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago. This exhibit honored the work of Sun Ra, and my dad, Alton Abraham. For all the influence that Sun Ra had on music, and on human consciousness, through his music, Alton made it possible,…
Read More'Talk For Food' Radio Show Launches
It’s been a busy week, but that’s not unusual for me. However, after expressing an interest about this last year, I am entering the world of spoken thought, which we call “talk.” I’m not starting a talk show, I have already already produced the first one, which I’m calling Talk for Food. I’m part of a new internet-based radio network…
Read MoreThoughts On God: Nothingness
Barrel Cactus Kissing, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Nothingness is something. Somethingness is not. Nothingness is real, Somethingness is illusion, for its existence could not be, without Nothingness. Nothingness exists Somethingness does not. Somethingness changes Nothingness does not. Somethingness is ephemeral Nothingness is eternal. Somethingness is finite Nothingness is Infinite. Nothingness exists within all Somethingness as the Space between protons neutrons,…
Read More10 Reasons Traditional Medicine is Not Yet Ready for Natural, Affordable Protocols — But Are YOU?
“Is the world is ready for a natural, inexpensive, and effective cancer treatment?” Or for that matter, a natural, inexpensive, and effective treatment for any acute disease? Better yet, are you ready? Well, “yes,” and “no.” I dare say that everyone who has cancer of any type, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes or AIDS, would prefer non-toxic, reasonably priced, and yet scientifically-evidenced, viable protocols that give them…
Read MoreAn Mind Opening Discussion on Iodine with Dr. Mark Sircus Podcast
We talked about it, we did it! Over the past weekend Dr. Mark Sircus and I had a great discussion on iodine, one you’re going to want to hear. I took the opportunity to practice being the host of Thought for Food (clever, eh?), a radio program that would discuss this, and other issues. I mentioned going on the radio…

Some Lights Are Brighter Than Others, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. One awareness that generally manages to elude us as we go about the process of living, is the sense that we are creating our future from this present moment. When we reach that future point in time/space, this moment will be seen as history. As such, we are creating history…
Read MoreMaking a New Deal: Raising One’s Self from ‘the Dead’
Each time I sit down to write, my thoughts immediately move to the mind and heart; and where they are, for where your mind and heart is, is where you are. Every word that issues forth; indeed, every thought, is then given with the health and well-being of every human being in mind. The same intent is behind every natural…

Slot Canyon Contrasts, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. Bringing Heartfelt Results into Being What are your thoughts on healing? Do you ever think about them? It doesn’t matter what form the healing takes. It could be to heal your body, a financially stressing situation, or a relationship. How about healing racial tension, political or religious strife and war? Or it could…
