Infectious Pondering

This is going to be a little more pragmatic of a pondering. Because of our training in medicine, Lorraine and I often share insights into medical issues and give advice on the health effects of various activities and disease processes. Recently we have come across some older research that seems to have gone under the radar for the most part. It seemed to us that this could have important consequences to the health of individuals and the body at large and so we thought perhaps we should share it here.

I am not sure why this particular research has been kept secret from a large percentage of people, but I can only guess that as usual there is a lot of miscommunication and conspiracy surrounding the truth which makes it hard to do good science. To help to clarify things we thought we would give you what we have been able to learn so far.

It would seem that there is a particle that is much like a virus. Although it has not been fully qualified, it has many of the same principles. It is small and can replicate from a single cell. It tends to cause an infection in certain individuals and once inside the host it tends to replicate at various rates. It is unclear why, but for some people it grows rapidly and for others it is much slower. Once infected the contact can spread the infection to others to various degrees. It seems that the spreading of the infection depends somewhat on the distance to others and the amount of time spent with them but for this disease there is something about certain hosts that seem to spread it more rapidly. These individuals have been colloquially termed super spreaders. Part of the reason for the slow recognition of this disease is the latent nature of its evolution. The symptoms are often very subtle and can go unnoticed for years, but occasionally there is a very virulent case that leads to obvious symptoms and can even bring about sudden death. In the end the disease itself appears always fatal but can look like a lot of other medical issues and so it often goes unnoticed as the actual cause of death.

Because the actual particle itself has not been seen with the human eye, it is hard to identify as the root cause in many of these cases. There is no cure found to this point but there has been some research going on around a couple of different prevention vaccines particularly in Europe and in southeast Asia. Personally, we find this research very hard to follow and not a little unbelievable, but there seems to be some recent success with both types of vaccines. They both seem to prevent people from catching this particle and even with significant exposure can prevent the incorporation of the particle into the body of the exposed individual. As with all new vaccines there are some concerning features with this vaccine and research seems to be quite slow. This is likely because the side effects (at least in our opinion) are worse than the disease itself. Many governments are starting to see more people infected and as we start to see the disease spread there has been widespread political pressure to eradicate it. Perhaps we are a little conspiracy theorist ourselves, but it looks like this may be another of those times when the governments of the world get together to control certain behaviors and our very way of life in a supposed effort to “save humanity”. Like we have not seen this in the recent past.

With all this developing yet vague information on this particle you may be wondering why we even bring it up. Because of the widespread nature of this disease, most of you who are reading this have already been infected. To a large part there is no reversal or cure. We bring this up because we believe that understanding this particular particle and its symptoms can help you live well with it and perhaps even die well. True the disease will change your behavior and perhaps affect your ability to perform tasks you always thought were necessary for life, but knowing how to handle this you can orient your time left in such a way that others can benefit from your experience and perhaps do even better themselves. In full disclosure we actually believe that living with this particle might lead to a better life. This may indeed be the next evolution of mankind.

Call us crazy but perhaps this particular infection left to its own may make us a better version of human. To us this “God” particle is something worth spreading. As much as the world would try to prevent passing it from one to another, we believe that this unidentifiable particle is really a physical thing. It is a piece of the Spirit of God that is transferred from one person to another by getting close enough to each other to transfer the very essence of this “infection” to them. It starts as a single particle enters into their very being and then with the right nurturing through the Spirit and the Word, the particle multiplies.

The outward symptoms are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control. Eventually this will lead to the death of the individual but a new life far beyond the understanding of this world. As much as Atheism and Islam put up gates to inoculate the world against it, the very gates of hell itself cannot stand against the spread of this God particle. We have chosen to accept the process and even embrace the replication of this particle in our bodies to the point that hopefully someday all of our cells of flesh will be replaced by these new cells and shedding off this mortal body will seem like a loss of nothing but dead skin. It may seem crazy but we actually want others to suffer from this infection until the whole world, if possible, would be affected. Is it possible that this could be for the glory of God alone? We believe it.
