Free Medicine as Art and Free Art as Medicine

A doctor can set a broken bone or give you pills. A doctor can operate on you from the outside. When you heal yourself, you're the doctor. You operate on yourself from the inside. This works by being in touch with yourself. You're not a medical scientist removed from yourself. So can self-healing really be a medical science? Perhaps not. If not, then why should a self-healer try to appeal to medical scientists? Why should a free people be against free medicine as a form of free art?

Is it wrong to ask these questions? Is it wrong to test new ideas?

I go to the beach and I make free art. I talk to myself freely. The breakers thunder continuously. The sun blares a mighty trumpet! Each note is a quantum of free energy. I freely absorb the vibrations from all around. I create and recreate myself freely. I sing a song of myself in tune with Walt Whitman. Why does this Therapy of blessed Freedom have to be regarded as only a science?

Others can repeat this experiment freely, but maybe it's an experiment in art, not in science. Here at the beach where I am now the sand is so warm and so clean! I lie down and expose myself to the heavenly light. The energy of sunshine warms me. I am radiant all over. I meditate in the bright sun. I gaze up into the blue sky. Both my eyes are totally filled with light. New ideas come to me like shooting stars. I draw and write and paint for hours and hours.

Poetry is not a sin. Being reasonable is not a sin. Making original art is not a sin. Feeling well is not a sin.

I use free art and free intuition here. To just be rational is limited in the extreme! Creative science itself employs love and intuition. To always remain rational is so limited. New ideas are bolts of power from the blue and so often they come true. Mind experiments can help reason us through a problem, but science HAS to test some ideas. Just reasoning by itself isn’t enough, even for true scientists.

I am in freedom recreating myself here. I am lying here in the sand, now, both considerably naked and considerably intuitive. I let others be extremists. I let them be total nudists, breatharians, total rationalists, fanatical atheists or practitioners of scientism, anarchists, presbyterians or luddites, clangers of some old extremist bell. But when I am healing myself I am not totally anything except totally free. I am freed from the prison of a school for gong-ringers and all such limited activity. I am in paradise here at the sunlit beach.

Like the exhilarated worm turned into a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, at long last I am free, Free, FRee! Yes, I am FREE!

I feel like Venus being born riding in on Botticelli’s famous clam shell.

THANK GOD I AM FREE AT LAST!

Now this method is a science insofar as people can test this method. Daily records can be kept. The results of equilibration can be recorded one note at a time for each participant. Equilibration? What is equilibration? Well, equilibration is the balancing of the right side and the left side and the strengthening of the weaker member so that balancing is possible. Equilibration really puts a damper on all fanaticism.

The equilibration principle is broken in schools where young children are trained to just use words and just use one hand to draw with or write with. Musical keyboards and other keyboards, and a ping pong paddle or a pen in each hand helps a growing child keep on practicing equilibration. Hours of singing (instead of just talking) bring more brain into play as words and music employ more and more of the whole brain.

Welcome to the community of angels.
