Last night, deciding on some pretty radical ideas I have perculating around Ho'oponopono. Do I take it broader, deeper, wider than one-on-one remote healing? Or should I shutter those ideas at the public level... keep 'em closely guardly?
There is a play by David Mamet called "The Water Engine" about an inventor and it "highlights the sometimes violent suppression of a disruptive alternative energy technology." In that play, the inventor is harassed to stop his work since it would obviously threatened the oil companies. The keyword there is violent--underscoring the lengths that the status quo goes to protect their monetary interest by keeping any leapfrogging breakthroughs underground.
So, yes, ho'oponopono (and another remote healing technique I know) are alternative technologies that upend the way we look at well-being. Part of me is fearful of the backlash of the medical and pharmaceutical industry, or worse. Sure I know it is fear, and means I need to clean up this patterning of fear via ho'oponopono or any inquiry means available.
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks of his cavern." -- William Blake
The idea started coming to me when I first read a blog post a few months back about a former real estate developer (or broker) and: "he's also a bit haunted by the loss of his father to a poorly understood but quite well known neurological disease. He's dedicated his life to supporting new approaches to research in the field, and the work he's funded is tantalizingly close to a breakthrough. It's an entirely new framework for understanding the illness, one that isn't easy to grok if you're a layman (as he was when he started). As I listened to him explain the work, I had a very strong sense of deja vu. Dan was an Internet startup guy now, pitching me his new approach to disrupting a sclerotic industry (in this case, the foundation-driven research institutes and their kissing cousins, the pharmaceutical companies.). It may work, it may not, but he's going to go for it. To raise funds for his new approach, Dan is talking to angels and VCs, and developing a new model for profiting from drug compounds that may come out of the research he's funded."
The dis-ease wasn't spelled out, although there were enough hints in the blog post that I recognized it. That same dis-ease was the first time I ever had to use these healing methods on a close family member (who's completely fine now)--besides the minor stuff like a broken toe or a toothache.
As I read the post about Dan's drug research arising out of the loss of his father, I noted, "Oh, he's look for a way to cure M.S. as a whole. Not just his father, or a surrogate for his father. The entire pattern of M.S. cleaned away." Only thing is he's doing it a very costly, old-fashioned (to me) way. You want an entirely new framework? It involves starting from a blank slate, or zero state as Dr. Len likes to say--not a slight incremental tweak in the health industries. Reading it was the Aha! moment for me--and it has gripped me since as much as I try to ignore its call.
I realize that healing by Mind alone sounds like magical thinking to the general populace. On the other hand, there's a growing amount of folks on this same planet who think relying on pills and injections is the magical thinking, aka to idolatry of icons or pleading to a statue. The statue wields no power; and similarly for me, there is no power in the pill, or in the procedure; they're actually props.
The only reason I am remotely interested in this (healthcare is not my #1 passion, but doesn't mean it just falls away as there is something true for me when it keeps tugging and tugging) is it is such a direct, nearly unequivocal way to know we are not separate beings -- it's not only self-healing, as in your body but anyone can heal anyone since there is no other, no out there. And heal any planetary imbalance, not just human beings. How? (In a nutshell:) Because we are all one singular contiguous Wholeness.
So yesterday I felt I needed to make a definitive decision to focus on 1-3 things max in my life and not be scattered on 10-20.
Then, I saw this as the first out of 213 comments on a website* I only frequent every 6-8 weeks last night as I was pondering this question around taking Ho'oponopono on an yet unexplored, enhancing direction to tackle healthcare more publicly at a pattern-level rather than individual-level, or not.

David, I have just finished reading your book and it was truly amazing, I couldn't put it down. One of the most profound points in the book for me was when you quoted Dr. Hew Len** and how he healed his patients by simply saying....I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me, and thank you. It brought tears to my eyes when you also ended the book with this quote.Thank you for this masterpiece, and my the source field be with you.
**Dr. Hew Len is the one who popularized the ancient shamanic technique of clearing his patterns to heal an entire hospital for the criminally insane in Hawaii. The technique is known as ho'oponopono.
** I don't abide by everything David Wilcock thinks whatsoever, however I'm primarily an explorer and spelunker of the Infinite in form. Thus I dive into edgy topics and conduct my own experiments. For me, I can't ignore because they don't fit my previous frames of reference. Use your own discernment. (I find discernment more refined than judgment, not to mention that judgment tends to towards division, obscuring the indivisibility of wholeness.) I didn't recall knowing Wilcock was a fan of Dr. Len.
p.s. How this would look like? Approach a research institution, build a small venture with a few people who have applied ho'oponopono for some time, band together with anyone who wants to try it (sort of a network effect)? Don't have any of the how's yet. Feedback, suggestions welcome.
I have played around a bit - but nothing serious.
I was a bit surprised to read - about a year ago - in a serious UK newspaper - that Ho'oponopono is one of a package of remedies being used on some traumatised Iraq and Afganistan soldiers.
The "package" of remedies seems to be working, so there may be something in it.

Losing a relative especially a father is never easy. My bestfriend lost her father when we were a grader. There was great effect on this to her life.
