Waking up the Amnesia of wellness
 
From "Tuning the Blues to Gold: Soundprints" by Vickie Dodd, 1999, pages 18-22:
 
Waking Up the Amnesia of Wellness
 
There is a cell that lives within us
that truly remembers wholeness,
that has recorded in itself
our inherent wisdom
of how to live in wellness;
how to live healthy
and how to live in contentment.
For years and years we have all been teaching and hearing and reading
that wherever we put our attention
is what we create.
And I have noticed with myself and others
that most of the attention
of our going toward wholeness
is through looking at what is not whole,
what is not ready and willing,
what is not yet done.
 
There seems to be a huge belief system
that runs us, generally speaking,
stating that healing cannot take place,
that full health is not possible.
Denial uplifted, expressed, exposed is to be applauded.
It takes so much energy,
so much good work,
and so much processing to reveal ourselves to ourselves,
to piece together the missing links
so that we can become more aware
having light shone upon our patterns
and paths of behavior.
 
But since we tend to think linearly, we just keep digging and digging.
Yes, we want to be good children
and note our every blemish
and its lingering scar and effect.
This way of being lacks MERCY, GRACE, and COMPASSION;
the absence of NATURE,
the absence of the NATURAL ORDER and the blueprint of healing, the SPIRAL.
There isn't any end or closure, linearly-traced.
Suffering on this planet, recorded molecularly, is infinite.
Once we note, acknowledge, express, feel, amend, and see our wound and the
path our wound has woven in our system, then we know the infinite story of ages
and ages, and everyone else's as well.
 
I do not wish to trash my past, or anyone else's, but I wish to start looking for another
placement of self-looking-at-self. I would go through a layer at a time, and keep going back and finding another thread to weave, even though I noticed that I found the same story on each layer, diffferentiated only by its placement.
I am beginning to wonder (as the Zen koan speaks about) if
one can become one with anything, one can become
one with all.
In other words, once we have become one with our path of
healing on one layer,
maybe we can actually start toward a movement of evolution.
 
We've worked so hard and endured so much
to become whole,
to become one,
to become enlightened, enlivened.
If we are able to perceive one layer
the pathway of one layer;
then it is not necessary
to keep going back
and finding another.
 
One layer fully tread,
Gives one all the information, input
on how that same path, thread,
is interfaced through
all the systems.
 
We need only to acknowledge that
we have healed, uncovered,
recovered our pathway
of dis-content.
 
Then we can be able to start evolving
to do the work ahead
to be on the path
of THE WAY AHEAD.
 
I wish to speak to that cell that remembers; to speak to it in its own language, in its own rhythm, that it may pulsate and vibrate to move and spread itself through more cells, more dimensions, and start a revolution, an evolution, a call to awaken.
 
WAKE UP, WAKE UP
Hello in there
Are you alone in there?
Are you home in there?
 
WAKE UP, WAKE UP
And listen to me
I need you to see
You make a difference to me.
 
I'm going to AH you
I'm going to CALL you
I'm going to do whatever it takes
to make you ALL of me.
 
I know that once upon a time
to be blind
was sublime
was the way to survive.
 
WAKE UP, WAKE UP
I'm ot saying it's too late
or that it's even your fate
I'm just wondering if you're tired
of having to fake
That you're not awake?
 
I can hear you singing joyfully,
I can feel you hugging yourself
I can smell your senses as you exude
sweet thoughts to you and yours.
I know you are in there, whole and well.
 
And, I know for so long, you've
been afraid I'd tell
that we are truly well
that we do love ourselves
that we are fine
and couldn't complain
about a thing.
But, now, what would all the others think?
 
That we are for sure
in blind denial?
delusion?
idealistic?
for sure not facing reality.
 
The habit is great to be sick.
The support is there, if you please:
I make my living on the disease.
Why and how could I displease
so many
by my release
of sleep?
 
My greatest fear is that you will
know I am well
And will not need me any more
will not feed me any more.
 
My greatest fear is that I am
well, and I can not
find anyone else to admit
that they are also.
 
The risk of being well
is the warrior of the future.
is the belly warrior,
is the heart warrior,
is the will to see Well.
 
One little cell is all it takes
to change and re-arrange
one's entire fate,
one's entire notion
and quotient
within the vast ocean
Of Self.
