Can the mind truly conquer physical, mental, and emotional pain? Today, we challenge conventional wisdom by exploring the intertwined realms of suffering and perception. We question whether being saved and redeemed through Christianity transforms our relationship with pain and suffering. From overcoming addictions to surviving extreme physical pain, we examine the power of mind over matter. We also tackle self-medicating as a pathway to self-discovery and investigate how intellectual poverty stymies personal growth. What role do God and Christ play in our suffering, and does faith alter our resilience?

Navigating the health care system can be a troubling experience, fraught with judgment and a sense of powerlessness. We scrutinize the medical community's approach to patient care, advocating for a more compassionate, patient-centered model. Could self-service kiosks offer a bias-free alternative? As we demand empathy and understanding from the healthcare system, we also highlight the crucial services provided by Life or Death Ministries, which aim to support those overwhelmed by life's challenges. Rooted in the principle of treating others as you wish to be treated, this episode underscores the necessity of effective support systems for achieving true well-being. Tune in for a profound discussion on pain, purpose, and the pursuit of compassionate healthcare.

Speaker 1:

pain like ow, like I hit my finger, or I hit my finger, or I've got a scab or I've got a laceration, I'm broken open, right and in some sense, but we're referencing mental, physical, emotional pain. My heart's been broken. She walked out on me, she was with somebody else last night. I promise you, I know it for a fact. Is there a correlation between the pain that is derogatory to our lives and how we perceive it within our walks, or is it no more than the confession of what we find to be relevant? Because if we're still saved and redeemed, of course, christianity. Does it really matter anyways? I think so. So physical and mental pain should be mind over matter, right, isn't it? We think about individuals overcoming addictions, and addictions aren't real. There's just a deficit that society created. It's not of God or Christ, right, but mind over matter. Mind over matter in what I can convince myself that I'm going to be okay. We've seen individuals that are running on pure adrenaline to where they've been shot, to where they've been terrified. They're basically dying, and their body continues to live. What about our minds, though? What about our compassionately seeking, emotionally intrigued, intellectually compelled minds? The mind follows the body, and the body follows the mind. So if we like quit learning, if we quit lighting our own candle, right, and we're not like advancing within these steps, is it like we're completely shut down? All of a sudden? I don't have nothing to give. No, no, no, this isn't pain, this is a tolerable notion of life. Think about going to the doctor, right, and the doctor knows what's going on with you and some of us, we really believe in self-medicating. By the way, a little bit of a hallelujah to a sense of self-medicating, it's a step of discovery. Discovery so you can learn yourself, so that we know, and we, as I say me, heart, soul, mind, thought, word and deed I'm on the outside looking in, I I'm on the outside looking in, I'm on the inside looking out, so we know what's actually going on with us. And I think it works, by the way, right, how do you know it works? Because I tried it and I know that it's tolerable. I know that it works.

Speaker 1:

Does the word tolerable belong in the sense of pain? I don't think so. Right, are we referencing this back to God and Christ? And how shall it be? Because if there intellectual pain, that we've lost hope, have we not? What is the purpose for God and Christ. By the way, wouldn't that be where this goes? We're following the loop on our own. What's the purpose of God and Christ? If you want me to acknowledge that we can create hurt and pain, suffering, loss and equity amongst one another, what shall it be? I don't quite understand. So it can't be a form of God and we can't testify it within that mindset.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm going to put a nail in your foot, probably a nail in your hand. I might even put thorns around your heart. Why? No, yes, and don't forget about forever. And in the meantime, I'm going to continuously ask you to progress within this world. That can't be right. How could it be? So?

Speaker 1:

It's a poor, and when I say poor intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, probably physically, including intimately, possibly economically, it's very poor, right, it's just very poor. It's poverty, intellectual poverty, if you would. We don't actually have it. It's sad. We're not capable, we're not competent. Does that get taken to a different level? Yes, of course. And in what example? Eye for eye, life for life, right, eye for eye, life for life, love for love.

Speaker 1:

Is there anybody you've ever encountered Anybody, regardless of social hat or status, right? Somebody? Your pastor, your preacher, your rabbi, a cardinal, a life coach, your parent, your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, spouse, anybody, any authoritative figure like a judge or law enforcement agent, anybody? Have you ever encountered anybody that is capable of taking a breath of life from you? You've lost? You've undoubtedly lost something in life that you can't get back.

Speaker 1:

This is way beyond punishment. This is extreme loss. Punishment does not include loss. How could it? And it doesn't, and it doesn't belong to God. So if it doesn't belong to God, it's not something that we must accept. So now think about this.

Speaker 1:

You walk up into a clinic, you walk into a doctor's office You've been self-medicating where I was at before. I am where this storyline and you know what you need, you know what works for you and the doctor looks at you and they're not stupid this day and age. You walk up into the clinics here. They've got ears and a bunch of other stuff and they're listening to somebody who's hollering blue, blue so they can see if they can get you to squeal at night.

Speaker 1:

It sounds a little bit different. Lord forgive me, I apologize, but it's extremely vulgarly not tolerable. It's like tell you you know what, I know what you need and I know what you want, but I'm going to make you jump through some loops, just because I feel like that's normal. But it's not an act of God. And you want me to suffer, you want me to live without, you want me to actually go through things that you know that are only going to make things worse. I don't know like what? Are we like putting a puzzle together or something? Trying to play checkers or chess? Just went. Now hit the clock. Yeah, what's going on here?

Speaker 1:

So I'm wondering at what point, when we give consent because consent is a form of love to somebody else to look in on our lives I'm looking in, or I'm on the outside looking in, on the inside, looking out. Look, I'm going to need some help. I'm this substance that I prefer and I know it works for me. I'm in need of it because I'm just having this type of issue in life. How many of you feel like you can walk up into any of these care providers, these clinics, of course? Very well, right, and you're not being judged, you're not being condemned. Most of us, we walk up in there and we feel like we're the condemned church mouse waiting for somebody to throw a little bit of poison down on the floor. You know what I'm saying. Of course that sounds different though, doesn't it? I know it gets dry to them and the only thing that they can think of is we're getting ready to be God in your life. And that's extreme, it's heroic in a mindset, isn't it? What you find to be valuable and what you don't find to be valuable is relevant. But to who it can be relevant? To me, I told you, I know the answer.

Speaker 1:

The discovery of medicine. Was it the practice? What is practice? Is it like perfect Practice makes perfect? The perfect of medicine, the practice of medicine? Well, of course we don't have definite answers. Results will vary per client. I don't know word choices.

Speaker 1:

Some individuals said that's very harsh. I'm not quite sure. Don't get too sensitive. So what does it actually mean when we're trying to learn substances on one another? Is it more than a mentality of emotional expression? There needs to be a retentive besides. It doesn't it?

Speaker 1:

Otherwise we'd walk up to a kiosk, we'd enter our symptoms and conditions, we'd possibly stick our hand up into it, pump and poke our finger and see what substances we're currently on and, based off of the results, it would prescribe us something. But then the computer shouldn't be making decisions on us. Decisions on us, neither should humanity. But should it be a little bit different? Should we have self-serving kiosks in the world? I'm going to walk up to it, I'm going to tell it what I'm interested in, what I want and what I need. Right, I put my hand down in it, poop, it pokes a drop of blood out of me. Very good, what's your form of payment? This is what you want. It's asking what you want and what you need, right? Very good, control. You're going to be monitored from here on out. Right, you're already assigned somebody, they introduce you to them, et cetera. And then boom, you walk out and you're on your way.

Speaker 1:

This is like modern medicine, doesn't it? Well, we have modern medicine, but it's more interesting in condoning and condemning other individuals. I think psychologically, psychology or something. What is the psychological mind state of being capable of altering somebody's life? And you know you're making it worse. How do you live with yourself, right? Do you own like a mirror or something? I think different, lord forgive me. So the condition of pain is not tolerable within somebody else's aggressive form of condemnation, because God and Christ are not in the picture. So, the actual practice of medicine, whether it is pharmaceutical manufacturing, whether it is the administration you could say pharmacies whether it is the hospitals or the clinics, or whether it is the actual prescribing, for the physicians themselves does not belong in anybody else's hands other than God in Christ, because what we truly, truly seek is an abundance of everything, and if we have wants and needs, yes which, of course, are tolerable there's a good way to use the word tolerable I like it Instead of being condemned. Now things are looking up for me Instead of being tolerable. I like it Instead of being condemned. Now things are looking up for me Instead of being tolerable now.

Speaker 1:

You know, it's recreation, it's Friday night. I'm going to splurge a little bit, I'm going to go a little bit more than I normally would, but that's okay, because it's life and everybody deserves to be happy. At what point did we decide that we wanted to condemn one another and we didn't want to be injured anymore? We didn't want to be upheaved. You know what we didn't. You're married. You just recently got married.

Speaker 1:

She's very, very young. She's very intrigued, she's compelled, and she's used to you being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. You're spunky each and every day. You're happy, you're thankful, you're good to go and guess what? Here, on and over the one that controls you, the one that helps you, the one that's making sure that you're getting your stuff I mean Lord, picked up right away a strong gust of wind and all of a sudden you don't have anything and you're sitting there and you're sorrowed out and she don't want to talk to you and she's not too happy about you and before you know it, her mind starts wondering. And now they're playing God on earth.

Speaker 1:

The individuals that you bring into your life are so significantly important that they don't realize that them making a decision on you might affect your whole family and everybody else outside of that. When you make a decision on somebody, it affects them, everyone they have in their life, everybody surrounding them, their potential careers or any outcomes that they might have Immediately, their life might be derailed. But what if we were making decisions on ourselves? By the way, the self-serving kiosk, excellent.

Speaker 1:

Well, now, of course, would we be capable of learning in the sense of self-discovery? And what if it got back to you? What if you received something on your phone? This is going to last for like four to six hours. I'm going to have you documented. Here's your cell phone number Confirm you received it right. What symptoms and conditions are you experiencing now? It would be multiple choice, you know you could, based off population percentage if you wanted to. Did you like this? You didn't like this. Where are we going from here? What's the best type of client? Yes, of course, a client. What's the best type of client? An educated client, because we can learn and we can continue to advance.

Speaker 1:

But I don't want to suffer anymore. In fact, I want to be capable of giving what I got to the ones that I've loved. So we forget that when we make decisions as professionals and I think like that, but I think self-medication there's something into this that we can change the outcome of their life. They can have divorces, they're no longer interested in each other. So I ask my primary carer I'm big on houses and emergency room physician. I'm usually a showroom queen. So I'm usually with an emergency room physician and usually a showroom, a show queen. So I'm usually with an emergency room physician and a show queen 24-7, when, like now, and it works for me and it's very, very relevant, all right.

Speaker 1:

But I told them. I says I want to be on fire for my spouses. I said I want to be physically, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually driven towards them in every way, shape and form, and I'm also like at the only international Frank Kiskin flower flower holder. So like, I don't want to be violated in any way, shape or form, so make sure that nobody's getting to me in any other way, shape or form, especially when I'm in bed the marriage bed shall not be filed or when I'm laying down at night. Very good, hallelujah, yes, of course, a sense of confession.

Speaker 1:

But when they are capable of souring your taste, the flavor, yes, the cup, the blood salvation. The bread doesn't taste or look good anymore because of what they've did to you, should they not be accountable for their actions and their decisions? You see, for many, many years, the only thing that we had was that we're going to provide this to you and you're basically out on your own, but you're not doing anybody a favor. In fact, you're only making things worse. Very well, now, this day and age, we've very, very competent, but I want you to think about this and take a second and write it down. What type of losses are you experiencing in your life? And is there anybody that's making those decisions on you? And if you were capable, able, competent, yes, disciplined, agree to make them decisions yourself, do you think that you'd be capable of finding sustainment, of finding that wholeness, if you would Seek, and ye shall find.

Speaker 1:

There must be something about God, isn't it An abundance of everything, drunkenness and whineness? I'm not really sure it doesn't become a problem until it ends up being God. But life is part of substance or substance is part of life. I think both work within the Holy Trinity. I'm not quite sure. So thank you for listening, but remember the hurt, the pain, the broken hearts, if you would, tolerable.

Speaker 1:

I'm not quite sure. I think that we need to get to a point where we're capable of discovering within. And, by the way, it's so very, very different In thought, word and deed. Somebody said, yes, heart, soul, mind and body and spirit. When you're capable of discovering where he exists within you, you get over the hump. By the way, I'm no longer failing, I'm no longer falling. You know, I just don't like the way that I feel. Somebody seems like they're very picked up, they're smart, they're intelligent, they don't have any pain, there is no sense of loss that is tolerable in this world because it doesn't belong to God. So God bless you and thank you for listening.

Speaker 1:

But the moment that things are upheaved, you don't like the taste, you don't like the flavor, you know this just ain't working for me. You probably need to reach out to somebody and forgive me. Life or Death Ministries is definitely attempting to provide those types of services with some very, very good health providers. Yes, of course they're very well. We have very good control too, forgive me, and it actually works. Individuals are capable of being happy on finding sustainment, so let's be reminded if it works, it works at all costs, and if it doesn't, my goodness, let's make it work. I think that's the reality of the world that we live in. Treat others the way that you want to be treated. Thank you for listening. God bless, you have a very good evening.
