In this episode, panelists and audience members discuss the role of artists, media, and lifestyle choices in promoting health, compassion, and environmental awareness.
(We have one last set of questions from the audience. And the first is from a professional stuntman, Robert Alonzo.)
Robert: This question is directed to Master Ching Hai and John Raatz. How can artists and entertainers use their influence to make living sacred and preserving life cool and in style? Are celebrities a key element in the evolution of humanity to a world of peace and compassion? Thank you. (I let John answer.) Yeah! (He’s smart and cool.)
John: Thanks a lot. There are a lot of parts to that question. I personally feel that in our particular culture, we place too much emphasis on celebrities and not enough on people such as Supreme Master who are out there doing the good work. It’s a big, big population, and there are a lot of people doing good work that are not recognized. (True. It’s true.)
And that’s when I speak of a shift in media values – we need to start honoring more everyday people who are doing good work and holding them out as models so that… Because I don’t think there’s anybody in this room who doesn’t find it very, very fascinating and helpful and inspiring when we hear of people, whether in India or Africa or Europe or other countries (continents), that are individuals who are out there on the streets connecting with whatever the problem is and working to make it better.
And the way that celebrities can be helpful in that regard is, I kind of look at them as transitionary, because right now many people do still pay attention to celebrities. And until we shift our consciousness and shift our orientation to what we truly value, celebrities can be there to give their stamp of approval, if you will. I can give you one example. My friend, Jim Carrey, is very much at the forefront of activism. He was a very big supporter of Aung San Suu Kyi, and he’s working now. I didn’t know this, and some of you probably do, that rice crops contribute a huge amount of methane in the environment. And Jim is now working on some sort of a rice project that will create a type of rice that doesn’t out-gas as much and contribute to the methane problem.
So, celebrities are valuable in terms of giving, at this point, a kind of stamp of approval. But I feel, again, we need to phase that out and bring all of us and other people around the world who are brothers and sisters doing this work into focus for others.
(Our next question comes from Spice Williams-Crosby.)
Spice: I am Spice Williams-Crosby. (Hi.) And outside of being an actress and a stuntwoman, a martial artist, I am a 30-year food-combining organic vegan. (Wow!) And I also was the first vegan bodybuilder to squat 315 pounds (~ 143 kilograms) and bench 235, drug-free and animal-free. (Wow! Wow! It can be done. (Look at her.)
Master Ching Hai, How are You? (Hallo.) I’d like to make a statement first that America is number one in cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis, and medical treatment here in our country is the 3rd biggest killer. I believe that diseases grow out of a toxic environment, and yet our FDA, our pharmaceutical companies, and our food companies continue to pollute our world and our bodies with their so-called approved chemicals, all in the name of science. I’d like to introduce my son, Luke Gregory Crosby, and he will ask the question.
Luke: Hallo, my name is Luke Gregory Crosby. I am the great-grandson of Bing Crosby. (Wow, hallo.) I’m 13 years old, and I have been a vegan for my entire life. (Wow!) I study martial arts, shotokan (Japanese karate), and I’ve never been vaccinated and anything. But when I was 18 months old, I got the coxsackievirus from a newly vaccinated child, and from that, I got Type 1 Diabetes. But my question is: Being a vegan keeps all diabetics’ blood sugar regulated – how come doctors don’t tell people, like diabetics for instance, about vegan diets to keep their blood sugar regulated?
Master: Beautiful Luke, I’m so sorry. You don’t need vaccination, but another vaccinated person could even infect you with this trouble of diabetes. Now, you’re right, Luke, I think the doctors should inform all their patients about the helpful factor of being a vegan to cure diabetes, as well as to prevent further development. But maybe they don’t, or some of them do, or maybe most of them don’t, I think. Maybe they don’t know it, Luke. Maybe they don’t know about vegan diet that helps diabetic people.
Veganism is still not as fashionable as jeans perhaps. So, what we do is, we can put this on our website, on the SupremeMasterTV.com for people to look up. And you yourself, or anyone here or anyone out there, please put it on your website as information for the diabetic people, so that they know they can cure themselves by turning vegan. Thank you, Luke, for the beautiful information. And you look beautiful yourself. Your mother must be proud.
Dr. Cousens: There is a book that just came out this year that I wrote, called “There Is a Cure for Diabetes.” And yes, we are talking about veganism, but we’re actually talking – in fast track – live-food veganism, where we’re reversing it in 21 days. (Wow.)
(Are you talking about Type 1?) Type 2. Type 1, what we see is, generally speaking, at least a 75% decrease in insulin need on this diet. So that’s very significant, because insulin has a lot of problems. Now just for the fun of it, I want to note that Gabriel here has been 25 years on 99% to 100% live-food. When I was a meat-eating captain of an undefeated football team, I could do 70 push-ups. At the age of 60, five years ago, I did 601 push-ups and a lot more flexible. So, there’s something to be said about the more-than-anti-aging effects of this kind of diet. Now, I want to talk about vaccinations just for a moment. It’s just part of the culture of consciousness. The main cause of polio has been – and admitted by the people who evoked the vaccine – has been actually the vaccine. (Oh!!!)
And they make this thing that everybody has to be vaccinated. The truth is people can catch, particularly SV40 virus, I don’t want to get too technical, from other people, which is a cancer-causing virus. And then one correction: the main cause of death today is iatrogenic medicine, number one, not number three. Carolyn Dean wrote a book about that. So, we need to be aware of that. but the main thing getting back to the details, also, I’m going to say that vaccinations increase your rate – according to the research done in Finland and Denmark – approximately, I hate to say this, 147% of getting Type 1 Diabetes.
Now we have seen some healing. We’ve got four or five cases of Type 1 diabetes that have completely healed. And in our movie that’s come out which is “Simply Raw,” there is reversal of diabetes – we actually had somebody cured on our movie, which is unexpected, but we have four or five cases. We can’t consistently talk about it –but Type 2 Diabetes, we’re talking 95% of the people reversing it in 21 days, maybe six weeks, three months. So, it’s very exciting because we are turning on the anti-aging and anti-diabetic genes by this way. Veganism is good, live food is dramatically better. We have all that information in the book “There Is a Cure for Diabetes.”
But the big thing is, veganism is one of the main ways of preventing diabetes. Meat eating increases the rate of diabetes by about 3.8 to 4 times. So we just need to keep it in mind. But it’s a symptom, again, of a culture-of-death way of life, as is vaccinations. And we’re all talking about shifting the consciousness that says, “Hey, we’re one with the living planet. We start doing things in a natural way,” or even better, we call it, “We stop doing crimes against wisdom.” And veganism is a way of living in a way that we’re not creating crimes against wisdom that create global warming and indeed create a tremendous amount of chronic disease on the planet. Thank you for asking the question.
(And thank you very much for such a fascinating) Thank you. (question and some interesting answers. We have one last question from the audience, and that will come from Lance Webster.)
Lance Webster: Thank you, right here. I’m Lance Webster, the Administrator for Earth Communications Office. From the early 1990’s through a couple of years ago, we produced a series of public service announcements that have been seen by over a billion people worldwide, in most of the major languages of the United Nations, on environmental issues. And my question is: If we were to produce more materials, or if the media in general were to focus on a particular area, I’d like to ask each of the three panelists very briefly to say what would you recommend for media focus? It could be governmental issues, it could be technology issues, it could be economic issues or spiritual issues, or a combination. Can you phrase, each of you, very briefly, what direction you think the media should go in, in order to create the kind of change we need to see in the world?
Dr. Cousens: OK. So, the first thing we want to play with – and it starts really with what John said – there’s another media, and that media is our own frequency of our DNA. It’s the DNA internet. And when we are conscious, we are communicating a level of consciousness, a holographic experience of a deeper reality. So, when we create the holographic experience of peace within ourselves, it goes out all over the planet. It actually even affects the amount of sunspots. When people meditate, in each equinox and solstice, literally what happens is the sunspots decrease by 36%. So don’t think that we have the most powerful media. It’s inside of us, and it’s a frequency of our DNA. It comes from our state of consciousness, and our heart and our mind becoming one. So that’s the ultimate media.
It’s the consciousness of the people creating the media that needs to be changed. And when we have people like John Raatz, who have been that way for a while, it’s great. And we need more people in the media who go in with consciousness and hold that consciousness. Because the truth is, there are so many people – and that’s what John Raatz’s work has shown – who want to get a deeper insight. But because of the economic needs, which is wealth for the few and ill health for the many, they’re not allowing that truth to get out.
But if we have spiritually inspired, Divinely inspired media, they will still do this because they will be able to communicate that truth on every level. So beyond a particular topic, the truth will be communicated on a consciousness level, whatever topic we’re talking about.
