New Light

Hi ,

It is the time of year for new light, new hope, and new beginnings. Even though winter has just started, solstice has taken place and the dark begins to retreat a little more each day. Traditionally the next seven days are a time of feasting, fasting, and prayer in preparation for the welcoming in of the New Year.

What new consciousness do you wish to birth in this new year? What would you like to bring from wish into fulfillment in this coming year? This is an excellent time to set heartfelt intentions for the coming year as a lot of energies of creation begin anew and fresh when we ring in the New Year.

When I ask questions like “What do you wish for?” I am not asking about stuff like physical world acquisitions, but what does your heart want you to do to build your inner happiness and fulfillment? The mind likes the world of stuff, but it is really just a passenger in the back of the bus of life. We identify with it as the part of us that decides what to do in each moment, but it does not provide us the why we decide what we decide. It is the heart that drives the bus, because the heart provides the sustaining feeling motivation critical to making anything actually happen. The head/ mind/ ego is full of fear and excitement that drives us in the moment, but functions like a child with ADHD. The mind is unfocused and flighty or fear driven, neither of which work well for manifesting any sort of sustained happiness.

If you are looking for the promise of new lightness in your life, you must dig deeper to the level of your feeling desires. These desires are purely personal and not about the outside world. These desires are about how you feel about yourself and your ability to relate to the world and to the greater “what is.” Most people relate to “what is” as God, but you do not need to personalize it in this way. If you are more scientifically oriented, you could refer to “what is” as the experience of the anti-entropic pattern of organization in manifest matter. The point is your deep feeling desires are all about your ability to assert and express yourself in the world and your ability to effectively connect with others in a sustainable manner. The ability to do this is what drives happiness.

The holiday season magically, or artificially, mocks up the assertion and/or expression and connection experience for us by providing the traditions and occasions with the appropriate behaviors already mapped out for us. We take on the seasonal spirit and express our good cheer to everyone through words, cards, and gifts and attend pre-designed traditional gatherings to experience safe connections with friends and family - hopefully. For a few weeks out of the year we let go of our demand that everyone be our way and express the spirit of goodwill to all. Too bad the holidays don’t last all year.

How could we make the spirit of the holidays last? What is it we are doing during the holidays that we couldn’t do all year long? Is it so terrible to express goodwill and accept everyone just as they are during the rest of the year? It feels better when we do. What is so important

to us the rest of the year that stops us from having ‘peace on earth and goodwill toward men’ now?

I’m just asking. I don’t pretend to know the answers, but many people have asked this question to no avail. I know the holidays also seem to be exhausting. Maybe all that goodwill is exhausting. Maybe it takes a lot of energy to overcome our fears, judgments, and resistances for a couple weeks in order to be kind for the holiday season. Maybe the challenge is overcoming our inclination to be self-centered for a bit. I could see the energy it takes to reach out of our little comfort box and connect with all the differences around us as being overwhelming and therefore very short-lived.

Whatever the challenge is, I am thinking that overcoming this challenge might be a worthy goal for the coming year. It appears to directly lead to more happiness, so its pursuit is not without a valuable reward. What blocks me from having goodwill towards all? Who do I have to become to be able to feel goodwill towards all? Clearly this would make me a happier person, but is that

happiness worth what I would have to give up? Would I be less of me if I gave up those fears, judgments, and resistances? Or could I possibly become more of me?

It is not my job to have the answers, but to have the right questions.

Take care

David

Ellen update:

Christmas is here and it is time to open presents. We actually opened a bit early since we are off visiting my son in Maryland. My main present for Ellen this year is a device called a muse - and electronic brainwave reading device that teaches you how to meditate easily. I read about how effective the device is and how easy it is to use on Dr. Mercola's website and decided it was a must have for Ellen as meditation has been found to be highly useful in stroke recovery as well as most any brain health issue.

Doing good builds a strong immune system

People who derive their happiness from helping others activate the genes for a stronger immune system compared to those who seek self-gratification to feel good. Not only do anti-viral and anti-body genes increase but inflammation decreases. So what is our body trying to tell us?

Doing Good

Magic mushrooms ease cancer depression

A single large dose of psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, has been found to relieve cancer related anxiety and depression for 6 months in 80% of those given the dose in a clinical setting. Fear and depression are a big problem for cancer patients as their mood directly affects their cancer treatment outcomes.

Pessimism exacerbates heart disease

Our American diet and lifestyle are bad enough for our hearts already, but pessimism appears to make that all much worse. An 11 year study of thousands of men found that those who died of heart disease were more pessimistic than average. Since pessimism basically is a life view that things are not the way you think they should be, shifting to a view that embraces life as it is could well save your life.

Our address is 9725 Fair Oaks Blvd. suite A
Our hours are M - F 9 to 1 and M, Tu, & Th 3 to 6

Finding the new location is very easy. Coming from highway 50 up Sunrise Blvd, you turn left and go up a block. We are on the right hand side - the building just past the Subway Sandwich shop. If you are coming down Sunrise from the Mall area then just turn right on Fair Oaks Blvd and up a block on the right.

If you are coming from the Roseville area you could come down Sunrise Blvd, but that is a long trek. It is probably shorter time wise to come down Auburn Blvd - San Juan Ave like you have been for the Sunset office, but instead of turning left at Sunset, keep going straight 3 more lights to Fair Oaks Blvd and turn left. Go down 2 lights to New York Ave, go through the intersection, and immediately turn into the turn lane once the center divider ends. We are on the left.

Dr. DeLapp has been a philosopher, non-force Chiropractor, medical intuitive, and health innovator for over 30 years. He began experimenting with medical intuition in 1972 while studying physics at UC Davis. In addition to physics he designed and completed an individual major in the philosophy and psychology of education. Shortly after he choose to pursue a career in the only truly health oriented profession available at that time, Chiropractic.
