Book Recommendation: Rising from the Dead (Suzanne Humphries)

Books
#1

Just read Dr. (MD) Suzanne Humphries’ autobiography, “Rising from the Dead”, which not only sheds light on her journey in the medical industry as a doctor and kidney specialist, but also on her personal spiritual journey (hence the name of the title).

In this book, Dr. Humphries shared about Catholic roots as a kid, then spending some time as an atheist in her younger years (thanks to our education system which promotes atheism in science), then exploring Shamanism, and then returning full circle back to Christianity as a middle-aged adult.

I do enjoy when people share about their own journeys, regardless their religions (or even non-religions), as that is what brings humanity back into the equation of the complex social architecture that we’re all having to navigate in modern times, with that AI Hammer looming above all of us. Many people have voiced, quite insightfully, that this degradation in culture – whereby the AI is taking over human decision-making – that this is a spiritual war. Books like Dr. Humphries’ autobiography inspire me that not everyone gives over his or her individual spiritual power over to AI or some “contrived system” – that we can each undertake a life journey that explores deep spiritual essence.

Dissolving Illusions, the book she co-authored with Roman Bystrianyk, was an eye-opener for us on the history of the vaccine industry, and she endured a lot of flack over that book. That book gave some helpful context to her autobiography.

What I love in reading books like this is the strength of human character that shines through, and the inspiration on what it takes to live as a human being who cares for others, and how that kind of life is not very easy, but is deeply rewarding.

Hi Sunnyboy team :smiley:
Thank you for sharing this

Wife and I are watching Fringe on DVD from the thriftstore (got the whole series for cheap- it’s really good, started it maybe 2 or 3 months ago) and last night I was saying that ‘Walter’s colleagues would make fun of him if they could see him now.’ as Dr Bishop was praying in a hospital church.
Nothing wrong with that. and Nothing wrong with him being religious.

What’s wrong here?

My automatic assumption that scientists are atheists.

You see, you hit the nail on the head - our school system indoctrinated even a notoriously-hard-to-brainwash-person like me into putting Science and Religion on opposing sides.
This is of course largely historical, but it doesn’t have to be!

At it’s core science is nothing but a tool, a set of thinking skills and methods to solve problems. There is no reason why science and religion cannot coexist, but since the so-called Enlightenment we have been brainwashed that ‘science killed God’ , when in fact, science merely needs to be expanded and used as the tool it is, to reach into the realms of the spirit.

I like one popular author’s exclamation that there is nothing supernatural, everything is super natural. The science of qi/chi/prana and the soul need to be expanded, and we have to realise that science is a great tool for the physical world, but that it needs to be adapted , or perhaps that (a fact?) it cannot be easily adapted to studying the nonphysical, does not mean that the spiritual does not exist!

Yes everything I am saying is basic for those here, but it still needs to be said. Especially in the realms of uncovering and discovering our own programming.

I purchased and read her Illusions book. Her journey through the medical cartel world and training to be a doctor was an eye opener. Seems anyone subject to that ritual is bound to be a little tainted.

I agree with you, in fact everything that the vedic scripts and the true yoga schools teach is actually applied science. It may be covered in laymans terms and “simple” techniques for physical or mental actions, but it goes deep. And in the end there comes the moment where you discover that no technique (or science) will let you pass the threshold to GOD and eternity…the key to the last experience is always humbleness and surrender to a power that is so much greater than you (this is where modern science fails).

Exactly genau and totalement.
That’s why I love the distinction I learnt from Dr Farrell between Science and Scientism.
Nowadays follow the Science means, become a sheep in the flock of the Scientismists.

I have felt that, too, Chris, that our traditional schooling in science (at least, the training that I, myself, experienced, both in high school and in university) seems to have fostered and embraced a decoupling, if not deadening (like Dr. Humphries described in her book), of one’s inner soul – in university, I recall having been upset when we were told by professors at the start of some of our (biological) science courses to leave our personal ethics at home. Why would professors say such a thing to their students? Why should we leave our ethics at home? Why not bring our ethics into school and into the workplace?

We’ve reached a point of Science being used for many life-harming purposes, that Religion does have a vital role to counterbalance all of that. Like you suggest, Science and Religion should not be opposing each other – they should complement one another. Science, like the Baronesse suggests, is simply a set of tools and techniques; and then Religion, would be to contemplate the ethics behind how we choose to use those tools and techniques…

Bill, it sounds like you also found the Illusions book disturbing, in terms of the light shone on the medical cartel. There seems to be a dogged longevity to the “vaxxine” project – how long can an idea endure across generations…?

If the idea is embedded in the curriculum and passed on to students who pass it on to their students and on and on…it’s quite easily done over generations and hundreds of years.
Just finishing up reading the history of the school curriculum development in elementary and secondary schools from 1890 to 1958. The fruits of that project are still with us today. The switch from learning about the development of the humanities and western culture to using the educational system as a social change mechanism produced our “social justice warriors” and the replacement of beauty, harmony and truth with what we experience today. It was a long drawn out 100 plus year project.

Yes, the education system does seem to be a core problem – and the fact that this embeds ideas that can endure for so long (to serve those who control that system for its outputs). Have you also read John Taylor Gatto’s books?

Yes, am familiar with John Gato and his reputation as a stellar teacher.
