MY LANTERN WALK INTO THE SIXTY-SEVENTH YEAR...

Understanding the Hermit Archetype
 

Written by Susanna Barlow  - August 28, 2012

The Hermit is sometimes depicted as an old man or old woman and is known also as the wise one or sage.  The Hermit typically lives in a mountain cave, sometimes deep in a forest glen in a hut or tree. He/she lives alone and is usually on the outskirts of a town or village. Seen as a guru or teacher the Hermit is often sought out for advice and counsel. The Hermit is associated with wisdom, introspection, creativity, connection to nature, silence, self-knowledge, and guidance.

The shadow includes, isolation, retreat, (giving up) unwilling to face external challenges, seduced by the pleasures of the cave.  The hermit retreats to the cave to turn his/her awareness to the non-material world. In nature, winter is an aspect of the Hermit archetype as nature withdraws and enters the deep underground, all activity is under the surface, unseen and unknown as the world falls asleep in the cold. Sometimes the shadow Hermit can be cold toward others at times, inaccessible in relationships, (i.e. hibernation) or simply selfish, unyielding and unkind. This is the Shadow Hermit in the winter nature.

Summer nature is a time of flowering, of expressing what you have learned during the winter period and sharing with others, offering guidance and light in a darkened world. Using the seasons to chart the rhythms of this archetype can help to work it from the shadow to the light. In ancient times, hermits often acted as guides for travelers and pilgrims seeking the sacred because they knew the wild forests and swamps and were able to help the lost find their way. They lived simply and grew their own food or lived off of the land. Many monks and nuns who found a lack of spiritual fulfillment in the monastery sought refuge in caves and huts in deep wild places. It is said that the hermit finds in solitude what the pilgrim seeks.

Shadow Hermit

Isolation - The Shadow Hermit especially in its winter nature wants to pull away from others and to not invest in relationships. They will often sabotage relationships in favor of isolation. They become happily withdrawn and safe in their turtle shell. They typically do not withdraw out of fear as much as out of need. They can become stagnant and any growth comes to dead halt. At worst, the Shadow Hermit can become a stinking swamp of inactivity and self-loathing. Too much time in the cave can result in a dead end life.

Giving up - The Shadow Hermit sometimes withdraws out of despair; quitting on life because the practice of living in the real world is too difficult. The Shadow Hermit will have a good story to tell themselves that they are not withdrawing out of despair or hopelessness but out of some desire to transcend the material world, to become a better person. But this is an excuse and the Shadow Hermit can fall prey to this kind of internal talk. The Hermit believes that there is always a safe haven in isolation but forgets the purpose of isolation is to return with new vigor and strength back to the world.

Unwilling to face challenges - The Shadow Hermit would rather defeat dragons in the dream world, than face real-world dragons, in real life situations. The Shadow Hermit would rather pontificate ideas of greatness than to plod along in reality. Not unable to face challenges, (the Hermit has courage), but unwilling to do so because this requires physical action and behavioral change. The Shadow Hermit struggles to transform wisdom into action.

Seduced by the pleasure of cave - The Shadow Hermit can become seduced by the pleasures of isolation and nature. The longer the Shadow Hermit is in the cave the harder it becomes to get out and it gets easier to make excuses to stay in where it is comfortable. The Shadow Hermit abandons any sense of duty or responsibility to others and finds people draining, preferring to concern themselves with only themselves. The isolation often leads to cynicism and jaded views of the material world as they retreat deeper and deeper inside. Sometimes becoming lost in their own inner world. Obviously sex is another issue that the Hermit must deal with. Celibacy is a way to pull back from others, avoiding intimacy and sharing. It is easier to be celibate than deal the with complications of a sexual relationship. Difficulties with or withdrawal from sex frequently play some part in this drawing back from life.

Superiority - Their ability to be alone convinces the Shadow Hermit that they have no need of others. They tend to keep others at arm’s length and refuse to show their vulnerabilities. They sometimes disregard the needs of others especially if they have become entrenched in their cave or if they have failed to care for themselves. The Shadow Hermit is known to complain about the dreadful world with its cities, roads and other modern inventions and long for a time where there was oneness with nature. With this mindset it is easy for the Hermit to consider themselves superior, considering that most of the society is entranced by modernity and progress. While it is vital that the Hermit must have time to withdraw and retreat to their sanctuaries they are not meant to stay there. The purpose is to return with the wisdom of their introspection. Sometimes this withdrawal comes from a fear of or sense of inadequacy in connection with external life and society.

The Enlightened Hermit

Wisdom - The Enlightened Hermit feels the call to gain not just knowledge but wisdom. The wise old hermit so often seen in fables and myth guides the wayward and the lost to safety again. Sometimes they offer wisdom and guidance for the weary traveler. But they must first transcend the trappings of their own thoughts and dogma to achieve true wisdom. The Enlightened Hermit understands that they need to be separate from others and the world to find their way. Once they have found their own way, they can walk in the world and be a light and a source of strength for others.

Introspection - The Enlightened Hermit has the ability to ask useful internal questions. They do not shy away from deep thought or ideas that challenge their beliefs. They need this kind of stimulation to encourage the growth that will help them fulfill their potential. There is a strong need from time to time to to be able to withdraw in order to gather oneself together and return refreshed and renewed to participate in life more fully. Introspection is vital to the emotional and spiritual life of a Hermit. There are few people who enjoy the study of the inner life more than a Hermit.

Creativity -The Enlightened Hermit has a unique ability to enter the unconscious world of creativity and mine the resources for their own purposes. They are able to tap into the vast collective creativity when they are alone and separate from others. Their creativity will be stunted if this retreat into the cave is not honored. This time away allows them to return to a project with innovation and originality. The Enlightened Hermit usually feels a strong connection to the natural world, and will often choose to withdraw into nature. They find deep fulfillment in maintaining a connection to the purity of nature and will wither in a city environment. They must have at least some time in the forest, mountains or near natural bodies of water.

Self-awareness and Self-Discipline - The Enlightened Hermit has a keen sense of who they are and what their weakness tend to be. They can see themselves clearly and use this awareness to build a foundation for understanding human nature. They develop an aloofness toward themselves that allows for an impersonal inspection of their life. This detachment is nurtured during long periods of silence and separation. The natural asceticism of the Enlightened Hermit makes spiritual discipline a strong inclination. In fact, the Monk/Nun Archetype shares a number of qualities with the Hermit.

Guidance for self and others - The Enlightened Hermit recognizes the needs of others and to become a fountain of support and guidance for those who seek them out. The Enlightened Hermit will not go around preaching to others, telling others what to do and how to do it. They are silent unless spoken to and only offer counsel or advice when it is requested. They feel no need to ensure that the seeker follows their advice. When the Enlightened Hermit is fully realized they are a connection for society with the essential knowledge of the earth. On the flip side, the Enlightened Hermit also seeks out guidance from a teacher or mentor, they can humbly accept counsel, they are willing to learn and receive from others.

Some famous hermits from history include St. Simon, Diogenes the Ascetic, Peter the Hermit, and Godric of Finchale. Modern hermits include, Emily Dickinson, Everett Ruess, and Henry David Thoreau.

Do I have the Hermit archetype?

10 Questions:

1. Do you need to spend a certain amount of time on a regular basis, away from worldly life?

2. Do you often disregard the support of others, often without realizing it?

3. Is it difficult to integrate the spiritual and material worlds? In other words, to live and practice your inner knowings?

4. Do you find too much social activity is a drain on your soul?

5. Is isolation in nature, away from civilization, appealing to you?

6. Do you find yourself avoiding necessary confrontations and feeling unwilling to take action that would improve your circumstances?

7. Do you think that self-denial can strengthen the soul?

8. Do you feel a connection to the unity of all life? Especially when you are outside of it?

9. When you are alone does “time fly?”

10. Do you feel a need (even in your secret heart) to reject worldly life and pleasures or dependency on materialism?

If you answered yes to some or most of these questions you may want to consider the Hermit archetype as one of your personal twelve.

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee! Time is Seriously Running Out...

 

 It’s Now or Never: The Fight for Freedom

by Tim Bryant

Why is today’s society the way it is? People will often argue that society has always been like this, and that this is its natural state. While others will listen to what they’re told or simply ignore discussion of the topic all together, deeming it too complex to even bother contemplating. However, this appears to be far from satisfying and correct for a new emerging group of human beings. A group of people held together by their belief that everything is beholden to cause and effect and nothing is inherently random.

Humanity’s bloody history and vast disparities in wealth inequality, which are both still clearly present today, are not by accident, but instead are a direct result of collective human actions taken in the past. The collective actions of the past cannot be changed, but understanding the past and having clear intentions towards the future can allow society to take appropriate actions in the present that are in accordance with its values and ethics.

The current moment is no different. It seems the actions of the past have put the world in advent of unprecedented times. Upon close examination, there are two massive forces currently at play in the world that are fundamentally opposite in nature, yet both are simultaneously increasing in momentum and reach. It seems all but inevitable that these two forces will collide at some point in the near future, if they’re not already in the early stages of collision. Mankind’s collective interpretations of this collision, and subsequent actions as a result, will come to define how the world will manifest for generations to come.

On one end of the spectrum, there is a massive international movement spearheaded by mega-elite interests towards further power consolidation and control, often referred to as the New World Order. This New World Order aims to bring about a global government, in which the very few elite creating it, are also largely in control of it. This movement aims to make a standardized, international set of rules that will be enforced by a world court and dissent will be dealt with through a world network of police and military. This centralization of power has been building for sometime and is often referred to, and warned about throughout history, in the writings of many famous individuals behind its manifestation or against its rise.
 
“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining Supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control. Do I mean a conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, incredibly evil in intent.” – Rep. Larry P. MacDonald, killed in Korean Air Lines 007, 1983
 
“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” – David Rockefeller, International Banker and Business Tycoon

Many people will look at this as far-fetched and out of touch with reality, but the fact of the matter is that the writing is all over the wall. Free trade deals like the TPP and TTIP are already attempting to bring about the same international standards in both law and trade for large regions of the globe, for which disputes are hashed out in international tribunals instead of domestic courts. Then there is the implementation of international institutions that are already under way, attempting to lay the initial regulatory and legal framework for global governance. Examples include the use of the IMF, World Bank, Bank for International Settlements, World Trade Organization, World Customs Organization, United Nations, OECD, G20 and the Financial Stability Board. These international institutions are designed to take sovereign domestic powers, often held by elected representatives at the local, state, and national level, and transfer them into a higher layer of power in the form of small groups of unelected international bodies. This too goes for global warfare, a spot in which NATO is already propped up to fill.

This is the ultimate form of collectivism; a form in which the whole world operates under one uniform system. The charge is led by specific people like David Rockefeller and under the radar elite groups like the Bilderberg group. This group is a collection of 120 to 150 people of mostly European and North American political elite, consisting of experts from industry, finance, academia, military, intelligence, and media. Once again they are not elected, with little to no press coverage, and are accountable to no one, yet wield more power together then the majority of the world. Under this feudalistic system, there is a small ownership or ruling class, and then there is everyone else in a low pay working class. Clear signs of this are already evident as a small percentage of people and institutions internationally own ungodly amounts of assets; sometimes more than entire countries, leading to an ever-increasing wealth gap that is out of control. If people think power and change is hard to affect now, wait until it is in the hands of international institutions. This movement is only increasing and is the predominant force of power in the world today.

On the other end of the spectrum, there is a massive global awakening happening before our very eyes. This isn’t a centralized movement or centralized event, but instead is a global consciousness shift of individuals in all parts of the world. Thanks in large part to the creation of the Internet, the lid has popped off and previously unknown information is flooding out everywhere. A whole new alternative network of information and news has emerged to facilitate its growth. The age of information is real. People are beginning to put the pieces together and realize that most of the education taught in schools, most of the media consumed on the television, and most of the food consumed into our bodies, is one big distortion of reality. History is far from what we have been lead to believe. The powers that be are preventing the flow of information somewhat, but at this point the cat may be out of the bag.

Humanity has once again become fascinated with its history, as well as understanding and exploring consciousness. Movements are sprouting up all over the world, as enlightened individuals are coming together, seeing through the manufactured spells of separation, and beginning to wake up and take action. The old programs of top down social control are beginning not work. People know they’re not real and instead their hearts are developing an unquenchable thirst for the truth, authenticity, and connection to the natural world. This has led many to question the current path of centralization that society is on; opting instead in favor of more localized and decentralized approaches in which the central powers of the state are limited and individual freedom and community autonomy is expanded. People are coming to the realization that diversity and individual sovereignty have far greater chances of bringing peace and enlightenment on this planet than centralized monocultures with  small groups of oligarchical rulers.  People are finally beginning to question if they are really free or if it’s all just an illusion to keep them obedient. People are feeling alive like never before. In many ways, the period humanity is in right now can be thought of as a New Age of Enlightenment.

The question is where will we as a species go from here? Will the elite powers that be win out and obtain their world government, further enslaving humanity into a central box? Will we allow them to continue to manipulate us through fear and endless war into further participation in this rigged game that doesn’t benefit us at all? Or will human beings finally begin to wake up and take action? Do we have the strength and intelligence to break away from the chains of social control and cohesively mobilize around the prospect of tangible freedom, embraced diversity, and human enlightenment? Will we take back what’s ours?

I think we can but there is no time to waste. Time is already ticking and bold moves are already being made on both sides of the aisle, whether people are aware of them or not. One must rise, and one must falter. They both cannot win out. The decision is truly up to the people, as the culmination of our collective individual actions will decide what truly manifests in the present reality. People will often say, “history always repeats itself,” however that is only because people continue to take the same actions which lead to the same effects. Sometimes these actions are as simple as inactions, allowing the dominant forces such as the New World Order to do as they please without hindrance. This force is not going away anytime soon either, and in many ways it only intensifying its actions.

No longer can people sit back on the sidelines and watch. No one said it will be easy, and in fact, it may be one of the greatest fights in the history of mankind. Yet, the greatest fights often bring about the greatest rewards. We, as a people, are finally in the presence of a golden opportunity that has been dreamt about for a long time. This is a rare time in which truth and information is flowing into every facet of society, giving humanity the ability to finally free itself from its oppressive rulers. The information is already laid out for all to look at and capitalize on. We just have to act now, for if we don’t, the New World is all but inevitable, as most of its pieces are already being put into place.

It’s now or never to act. What side will you be on?

What are Twin Flames and Signs of Twin flames?

 

(TWIN FLAME TEST)

You are probably asking what are twin flames? You have heard the term and only vaguely know what it really means. Somewhere within you… you are longing to meet yours, you feel the passion and you know its your souls destiny to be with the love of your life, your twin flame.

What Are Twin Flames ?

There has been a lot of buzz around twin flames since 2012 which is kinda like the twin flame golden era. 2012 was the year of ascension and a turning point for twin flame love for many levels, the ascension in my opinion is another new age word for the shift that happened on Earth which cleared the control energy on our planet, which also blocked the twin flame love.

Although twin flame is described differently by many experts, there is one thing most agree on is that twin flame is defined as two people who have come together on earth, vibrating at the same frequency as polarized counterparts of the same soul.

To sum this up, your twin flame is your one and only true soulmate. They are not your karmic soulmate, which is someone you solve karmic lessons and past life karmas.

What are The Signs of Twin Flames ?
 
Now you maybe wondering what are the signs of twin flames…. Throughout your life you might have had very unusual powerful dreams or visions of a mystical person. You get this feeling of familiarity and the energy of this person feels very familiar, its like you know this person or you have met this person in your past, or the feeling you are going to meet this person in the future.

Some how you have some vague feeling that this person is real, although you can’t see their face or try to imagine how they might look like in your mind. You do get the feeling that this person is out there somewhere and they know who you are on the same level.

Twin Flame Synchronicity

There is always a twin flame synchronicity or an event which may surround the initial meeting of twin flames. Most often you have a feeling or knowing but you can never quite put into words. Most twin flames encounter each other for the first time in unusual ways, either in person or online.

Your twin flame will come into your life in unexpected ways, there will be many synchronicities and many strange occurrences and energy shifts in the first week of meeting them.

When twin flames meet they are physically at a distance, live in different countries. There is a energy that prevents twin flames from being physically together in the beginning. There is much more energy work required on the mental and emotional level before the physical meeting.

Have You Met Your Twin Flame ? The Twin Flame Test

Where ever psychologically and emotionally you maybe in your life, I believe its good to be conscious of the people you live with and meet. The following twin flame test may possibly help you open new paths and opportunities for union with your twin flame.

Twin flame Test

1. You feel a strange sense of recognition meeting this person, like deja vu, like knowing this person before and you are somehow meant to be together.

2. You have a feeling that they are going play a big role in your own progress, but why… you have no idea when and how.

3. You have immediate and very intense connection with them which is stimulating and shocking.

4. You have finally found a home or a safe place with your twin flame.

5. You are able to be yourself without the fear of rejection or judgment.

6. You are both like the ying and yang, your dark side is balanced by their light side, their dark side is balanced by your light side.

7. You have a feeling of expansion when you are with them, you feel you are larger than your limited character.

8. You both make each other a better person.

9. Even though you are in a relationship with your twin flame and you are both bound but at same time you are free, you are attached but at same time unattached. You both maintain your freedom.

10. They are finely tuned to your energy and you are finely tuned to theirs. You are both conscious of the play of energy, so when you are sad, angry or happy.. they will feel it as well. As twin flames you are both empathic to each other.

11. You have been waiting for this person your entire life.

12. You both are connected deeply and mirror each other, whether its value or aspiration for life.

13. Even if you try to avoid or leave your twin flame, you are always attracted back to them.

14. One of you is more mature than the other, either acting as the teacher or counselor in the relationship.

15. You are educated in the important life lessons like, forgiveness, empathy, gratitude and being open minded.

10 Vaccination Myths and Lies Debunked

March 6, 2016 by Joel Edwards

One of the biggest lies ever told is that vaccines eradicated disease; improved sanitation eradicated disease. This lie is the big falsehood upon which many other myths are propagated. When lies are repeated enough, they come to be taken as the truth.
 

"…in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”

- Adolf Hitler

Though the pharmaceutical industry can fool most of the people most of the time, they cannot fool all of the people all of the time. As Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “No lie can live forever.”

Truth has a way of winning out when given enough time, but time is not a luxury all of us can afford, not with mandatory vaccinations looming. Some of the greatest deceptions have spanned centuries. In every generation, there are people said to have been “ahead of their time.” In hindsight, we honor the most notable historical figures that helped to unravel the delusions under which progress faltered. Racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, superstitions, and other forms of abject ignorance have taken centuries to fade away, these and other illusions die hard. There are still thousands of people who ardently believe the earth is flat, and just as absurd, there are thousands of people who still believe that the sun orbits the earth.

The majority of people believe that the anti-vaccine movement is regressive and not progressive. Pro-vaccine propaganda, propped up by government mandates and CDC recommendations has come to dominate popular opinion. Most people have come to believe these myths and have internalized them. In order for us to get to the truth, we must first absolve others and ourselves of these delusions.

Vaccines are Safe

Like all pharmaceuticals, vaccines can have potentially devastating side effects. Adverse reactions can and often are far more serious than the diseases they are intended to prevent. Your chance of dying from measles with modern healthcare is nearly zero, and yet hundreds have died from the MMR vaccine.

Jonas Salk, the inventor of the polio vaccine, testified before Congress that the mass immunizations aimed at eradicating polio caused most of the polio cases since 1961. How can the polio vaccine be safe or effective when it causes the disease it is intended to prevent?

Doctors are typically profoundly ignorant about immunizations.

In a bad year, India has fewer than a thousand cases of polio. In fact, India was certified polio-free in 2014 and hasn’t had a case of polio in three years.3 In their efforts to eradicate polio in India, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s mass immunization campaign permanently crippled well over 50,000 children. It could take more than a century for polio to cause the kind of devastation this polio immunization campaign caused. These are not the results of a safe practice.

Vaccines Are Effective

There is a saying that no vaccine is 100% effective. This saying implies that vaccines are close to this number, but in truth, vaccines are not tested for effectiveness at all. If a vaccine generates antibodies, it is considered effective; however, antibody generation does not equate to a numerical percentage of disease prevention. One of the best indicators of vaccine ineffectiveness is that the same vaccines are given over and over again. If a vaccine guaranteed immunity, why would it have to be given again? Vaccination carries with it serious risk of injury, including death. If you’re going to bet your life on it, wouldn’t you want the vaccine to actually work?

Our immune systems rely on far more than just antibodies to fight pathogens. An individual dying of AIDS has no shortage of antibodies in their blood; their body produces vast numbers of antibodies and yet that doesn’t keep them alive when their white T-cells have been decimated by the HIV virus. Antibodies aren’t everything. Just because vaccines generate antibodies, that doesn’t mean they are effective.

Your Doctor Knows More About Vaccines Than You Do

No doubt your doctor has strong opinions about vaccination; but do they know anything about them? Probably not. The science of immunology, virology, or advanced toxicology is not taught to most medical students. If anything about vaccines is taught, only one side of the scientific debate about vaccines is ever presented to medical students.6

If you ask the average medical doctor about MRC-Cells, WI-38 Cells, vaccine adjuvants, or vaccine court, you will probably be met with deafening silence. Doctors are typically profoundly ignorant about immunizations. If you spend ten minutes researching vaccine ingredients, you are likely to know more about vaccines than your doctor. If you read a vaccine insert, you are likely to know more about vaccines than your doctor. If you spend five minutes speaking to a naturopathic or homeopathic doctor or even a chiropractor, you will find that they know far more about vaccines than your conventional medical doctor.

Mercury Was Removed From Vaccines

This actually never happened. Mercury was removed from some vaccines and replaced with aluminum. Other vaccines, like the flu shot, still contain mercury under the name thimerosal. Thimerosal is 49% ethyl mercury. Mercury is 1,000 times more toxic than lead, and it is still present in a number of vaccines and other pharmaceuticals.

If You Are Vaccinated and Get a Vaccine Preventable Disease, You Will Catch a Milder Case of the Illness Due to Having Been Vaccinated

Actually, if you were vaccinated and then caught the disease, you either caught it from the vaccination itself, or if time passed, the vaccine failed and you caught it from someone else who had been recently vaccinated and was shedding the disease.

There is no evidence to suggest that injecting the body with toxins and pathogens makes our immune system stronger, but there is a growing body of evidence that suggests the highly vaccinated are more vulnerable to both chronic and acute diseases.
Vaccine Manufacturers are Held Accountable for Vaccine Injuries

In 1986, the Childhood Vaccine Injury Act made vaccine manufacturers immune from all liability due to vaccines. Instead of holding the manufacturers accountable, vaccines are taxed, and these taxes go to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.9 In order to receive compensation for vaccine injury, one must win in Vaccine Court. Vaccine Court is a rigged system of compensation designed to protect the vaccine industry and deny claims brought forth by parents and family members of dead and crippled children and adults. There is a better than 80% chance that a claim will be denied by vaccine court. If claims are paid out, compensation rarely covers medical expenses. If a vaccine kills, the maximum payout is $250,000.10 Isn’t human life worth more than a quarter of a million dollars?

Adverse reactions to vaccines can also result in agonizing, rare, exotic, and crippling diseases. A few examples of these are Guillain Barre Syndrome (an immune disorder in which the body attacks the nervous system), Transverse Myelitis (a neurological disorder which can result in paralysis, urinary retention, and loss of bowel control), Miller Fisher Syndrome (which can result in respiratory failure, abnormal muscle coordination, and a myriad of other symptoms) and Intussusception (which is caused by the intestine being pulled inward, onto itself, which can be fatal, and it is always excruciating).

The payouts awarded by vaccine court vary on a case-by-case basis. When considering how miserable these diseases make people, and how expensive treatment is, one would think the compensation would be greater. The following payouts were advertised by Maglio, Christopher, and Toale, P.A.
 

From 2010 through 2015, this law firm won 11 cases that included death. The smallest payout was $100,000 and the largest payout was $400,000. The average payout was $218,792.50. Cases with a payout over $250,000 included payment for injuries as well.

From January through November 2015, this law firm won 46 cases that included Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). The smallest payout for GBS was $60,000 and the largest payout was $807,000. The average payout was $215,829.70.

The Anti-Vaccine Movement is a Fad

Objections to inoculation and vaccination have been around for as long as inoculation and vaccination have been practiced. Typically, when we hear the term conscientious objector we think of someone who is opposed to military service during wartime. Centuries ago, the term referred to someone who was opposed to getting inoculated, or getting their children inoculated. The anti-vaccine movement is an old movement, and it is not going away. We will not be silenced, and we know the truth is on our side. We know it is only a matter of time before the truth about vaccines is known by the majority of people, not just by a select few who have taken the time to do the research.

The Internet is Full of Misinformation Regarding Vaccines

Have you heard this tired cliché, “Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet”? Actually this is sound advice, but you shouldn’t believe everything you see on TV either, or everything you read in books, everything your doctor tells you, or even everything you read in peer-reviewed scientific literature. Misinformation is everywhere. Falsehoods, half-truths, and outright lies are not solely limited to the Internet.

An informed opinion demands familiarity with both sides of an issue. No one, not even your doctor will ever care about your health or your children’s health as much as you do. Both sides of the vaccine debate are easily accessible via the Internet. Even anti-vaxxers agree that the Internet is full of misinformation about vaccines.

Misinformation abounds everywhere, especially on websites like the CDC, FDA, and NIH. The truth is out there for those willing to go and find it. A good place to start is to look up vaccine ingredients. Isn’t it a good idea to know what is being injected in you or your children?

The Unvaccinated Spread Disease to the Vaccinated

This lie spread by vaccine manufacturers is another believed and repeated by so many only because they’ve heard it so often. Infectious disease is typically spread by person-to-person contact. A healthy individual doesn’t spread disease; sick people do. Rarely, there are cases of those who are disease carriers, individuals who exhibit no symptoms, but are capable of spreading disease. There is no evidence to suggest that if these individuals were vaccinated, that this would happen less often. On the contrary, it is the recently vaccinated who spread disease through viral shedding.

Yes, viral shedding is a real hazard.14 The recently vaccinated often spread the very disease that the vaccine is intended to protect against. When this happens, the unvaccinated are typically blamed for the outbreak. A good example is the recent Disneyland measles “epidemic”.

If there is no vaccine for the strain of the virus responsible for the outbreak, the same tactic is used: blame the unvaccinated. In the absence of television advertisements, every major or minor disease outbreak engenders free marketing. Despite high vaccination rates, it is the unvaccinated who are blamed for disease.

This blame is assigned by the mainstream media outlets whose bills are paid by Big Pharma. Defying all logic, the public is told that vaccines can only work if everyone is vaccinated.16 Considering how interconnected the world is these days, even if everyone in our respective country of origin were to be vaccinated there would still be unvaccinated foreigners traveling people would encounter, and the gullible could place blame upon strangers in strange lands for spreading disease. The fight for 100% worldwide vaccination is unattainable, so there will always be scapegoats.

Scientists and Doctors Agree that Vaccination is the Best Defense Against Infectious Diseases

Another myth perpetuated by the mainstream media and Big Pharma is that there is a consensus among scientists and medical professionals that vaccines are the best protection available against disease. In actuality, there is no consensus. Vaccination is hotly debated by doctors and scientists, especially those who actually study vaccination.17 When it’s Mom and Dad against the world, anti-vaxxers are framed by the mainstream media as anti-science.

In order for science to progress, competing scientific explanations must be evaluated on their own merits, not dismissed or accepted based upon their initial popularity in the scientific community. There are, in fact, so many doctors and scientists opposed to vaccines that we have produced an ongoing series of articles giving voice to their expert opinions.18 We are unlikely to ever run out of new experts we can draw upon to continue this series. Obviously, there are more than a handful of experts opposed to vaccination.
Conclusion

One cannot eradicate diseases by way of immunization. Injecting pathogens and toxins into the bloodstream bypasses the body’s natural defenses, and leaves us more vulnerable to injury and death than natural exposure to the disease ever could. When we are intimidated into vaccinating because diseases like measles used to kill people, we aren’t being given all the relevant facts. Measles are unlikely to kill anyone these days due to modern medical care. It’s true that antibiotics are useless against viral infections, but when someone is battling measles, they are more vulnerable to secondary infections, like pneumonia. It is another modern day myth that the measles vaccine saves lives. Your chances of dying from measles is nearly zero. The same cannot be said of the measles vaccine.

There are many myths surrounding vaccines. They will continue to be perpetuated until those of us who are in the know challenge them wherever and whenever we hear them. The best defense against lies is the truth, and the best defense against bad ideas are better ideas. In the absence of truthful reporting, it is up to us to be the media before vaccine hysteria spreads ever further though vaccine mandates. If we cannot be deceived, we are to be coerced – that is until we can shed light upon these vaccination myths.
