What You Were Never Told About Disease.
Most people are under the impression that disease is just ‘a part of life’, but nothing could be further from the truth. There is considerable historical and anthropological evidence that suggests at one point in time, humans lived out their lives completely free of disease.
In 1902, Lieutenant William Safford noted that the Chamorro people of Guam “were remarkably free from disease and physical defects, and lived to a great age”.
Anthropologist Charles Hill-tout stated in 1904, that before European contact, the Chehalis and Scowlitz natives of British Columbia had “sound and strong bodies, free from disease”.
In his 1839 report, John Seely Stone detailed the health of the inhabitants of the Pacific Islands, stating “These islands, like others in the Pacific, were inhabited, at the time of their discovery, by a people of loose and licentious manners, but free from disease”.
Colonist, William Wood, wrote in 1635, that the native Indians of New England “reached 50 years of age before a wrinkle or grey hair appeared”. They had “lusty and healthful bodies” and did not experience health-wasting diseases. It was not uncommon for them to live to a hundred years of age.
When the first fleet landed in Australia, the colonists documented that the native people were in good health and ‘free from disease’.
Given that native people across the world were in exceptional states of physical health, their diets could not have possibly been causing disease. So what were they eating? Their diets were determined by what was available in their environment and what was edible (which they had worked out through many centuries of trial and error). They consumed a wide variety of fresh plant and animal foods. They ate locally, seasonally, organically, sustainably, and mindfully.
There are many people out there who want to point towards this food or that food and claim that it is the cause of disease. However, what this evidence tells us, is that it’s not the food in our environment that is making us sick, but rather the adulteration of our food (i.e. monocrop farming, pesticide use, processing, refining, improper storage, food additives, etc), and the deviation away from traditional dietary practices (i.e. eating locally, seasonally, sustainably, mindfully, etc).
It's time to get back to basics.

' Fascial systems are found throughout the body and are essential to maintaining good health.
They are composed of collagen fibers that form a web-like network that provides support and protection for muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels.
They also play a role in proprioception, which is the body's ability to sense its position in space.
I recently discovered that after consistent meditation and finally being in a fantastic place mentally as well as physically; even a system that is under no stress still benefits from bodywork.
The top left image is of a fascial system that is under no stress.
The bottom left image is that same zero stress system after myofascial release (MFR).
Look at how much better the system looks overall.
It's more plump and overall healthier. '

"A so-called external martial art uses very sophisticated methods to enable an individual to use his or her body at the peak of its natural reflexes and potential.
An internal martial art, on the other hand, transforms the body’s natural response to force, in such a way that the opponent’s attack becomes ‘additive’ to one’s own power."

Athena opens up her palm to reveal Nike [Νίκη], the goddess of victory.
Tyche [Τύχη], goddess of fortune / luck favors the bold / strong. Hence, the Greeks say η τύχη ευνοεί τους δυνατούς, meaning "luck favours the strong".

Unless one rises above fear and suffering one cannot attain what is called the 'higher self' and live the life one was meant to live.
Suffering is a human condition experienced by those lost in worldly duality. Opening one's spiritual eye means breaking the shackles of fear-based conditioning.
Thus, one comes to rise above 'the world' and sees the 'game' for what it is. Having done so, one becomes 'non-attached' and indifferent to the world circus and tricks and can't help but chuckle at it.

' Ancestral men carried their weapons and the animals they killed.
And what of women? Soft, they were not.
Among the Gikwe of Zimbabwe, women carried melons, roots, and children on their backs, shoulders, and arms for miles every day.
Among the Goilala of New Guinea, women carried one hundred plus pounds of nuts on their backs upon slick, steep slopes.
Among the Ayoreo of Bolivia, women carried large slabs of salt on top of their already heavy loads.
Not only did these women not complain, but they beautified their suffering, sang cheerfully to each other, and were attuned to the trees, leaves, wind, birds, stars, and humans around them. '
