The Active Antidote: Cancer as a Disease Process
by Mark Hancock
Cancer strikes fear into a person in a deeper way than perhaps any other diagnosis. Fear is a sense of loss of relationship with one’s destiny and purpose. It is an excarnating reaction. Some people react with a calm resignation, which is the other side of this same response. Many people with cancer already have the feeling that life is going by very fast. They feel like spectators at a standstill. The medically important conventional treatment options (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery) all emphasize treating the body as a diseased entity with little regard to the relationship with our inner being’s turmoil. This over-objectification of the human body epitomizes the entire problem of cancer. Our soul-spiritual has been too distant to a process going on in our body and in our life.
Is It True? Approaches for Helping Children Discern and Resonate with the Truths in Their Lives
by Nancy Blanning
Children were born to ask questions. It is a human imperative that they explore this new world by fingers, eyes, and mouth as infants and toddlers and then use the mouth as the great explorer to ask about everything. Though the seemingly endless “Why?” questions become tiring, they seem easy when the “Is it true?” query comes. Choosing an appropriate response can push us into deep levels of consideration of what is meant by “true.” We want to be honest and not give an answer that misleads or deceives. We want our children to be able to trust what we tell them. How do we think of truth in our adult minds and what does “true” mean to a child?
