Crohn’s Association

It has been 7 years since my recovery from Crohn’s dis-ease. A dis-ease in the medical model that is known as an uncurable dis-ease. I have an incredible pressure in my body and I have been very wanting and willing to help others who have Crohn’s dis-ease. I want to help them experience their Crohn’s in another model of the world that is available to them that they may not know. It’s possible to experience their Crohn’s through another lens and shift their perceptual filters into one that invites hope.

So I decided to take action! I have an audio CD where I am interviewed with Louise LeBrun on my experience with Crohn’s which provides insight on how I cured myself from it. I also am a co-author for the book Sekhemet Rising: The Restlessness of Woman’s Genius where I speak of my experience’s growing up as a child and how I created Crohn’s as a useful means to get what I need. With my experiences I felt extremely compelled to contact the head of the Crohn’s association in Toronto and in Montreal. I wrote them both an email briefly letting them know of my experience and how I am cured from Crohn’s. I have even attached my article to read and offered to give them a copy of my intereview. I expressed to them how my intention is to help these people and that I wanted to volunteer my time. I sent this information to them a week ago, and have not heard back from either one of them. I did receive a read receipt last week so I do know that they received my email.

I found it quite interesting how these 2 people from the Crohn’s association never got curious as to who I was. If I was in an association and looking for a cure I would have contacted me! I would do everything in my power to learn and find anyway possible to find a cure.

I question this and get really curious about it. I wonder how it’s useful for them to never find a cure. I wonder how it serves their association? How does it serve them to continue to live with Crohn’s Dis-ease and how does it give them permission to continue living the same life day by day in habituation. Do these associations really even want to find a cure for whatever dis-ease they are finding a cure for? I guess finding a cure would mean they would have to do something else instead from what they already know.

I wonder how our world would unfold if people didn’t fear being powerful and in charge of their own lives. I wonder how our world would look and feel if everyone was healthy and did what was good for them and not what’s good for others?

I can tell you my world feels great and it feels playful….next step for me is helping others to feel the same way, wether the Crohn’s association is interested or not. I trust that people who are willing to live their lives for themselves will find a way.

Life is great!
