I was reading Ted Howard’s blog on Understanding being human part 2” and am convinced that Ted is wired to the Universal Consciousness in a very special way. We all are connected in our own unique way, but Ted goes beyond unique. He goes where few brain cells can dare to venture.
As near as I can tell, the bottom line is that, as humans, our egos have evolved beyond our capacity to understand our entirety. We think we know everything, when in fact, the more we know, the more we find out we don’t know. We don’t even know the half of what we don’t know.
If you want to find out where you came from, check out “What is a human?” . You also will get a world-class view of where we are now and our capacity to go further.
Some time ago, Ted discovered that some of the cells in his body had changed their programming and become cancerous. He is meeting the challenge of healing his body which has somehow gotten the message to work against itself. Curing oneself of a metastasized cancer is not for wimps (however, if you are wimpy, taking on cancer is one sure-fire way to discover how strong you really are). One has to destroy or remove those cells who are beyond redemption while at the same time, convincing the cells who are on their way to becoming cancerous to change their minds. And then you have to talk to your immune system and ask it to beef up production while it continues its regular 24-hour job of protecting your body from all the other microbes who might seek to take up habitat in your tissues. Currently, the metastasized cancer cells are retreating and some apparently have given up the fight.
If anyone knows just how cells become cancerous and how they function, it would be Ted. In fact, he seems to know and understand a little too much to be an outsider. Ted must be an insider. Ted was probably one of the original designers of the solar system and this big round thing we call earth. Now, he is living the reality of his design eons later and discovering what works well and what doesn’t. And there is proof: curing cancer is definitely an inside job.
I can’t wait to see what he does next.
But I’m willing to wait another full lifetime to find out.

Oh Barbara, I’m so grateful for the way you unfolded this wonderful story. I’m familiar with each page of the script, YET, you shared it in a way that made it new for my eyes and heart. You are a gifted wordsmith. I’m delighted to be one of your readers.

(absorbing kudos like a sponge) – I have such a great time reading the stuff Ted writes and was so happy to know that the spots on his liver are dwindling in size. I just know in the next iteration of our existence, Ted is going to use this experience to create all sorts of new ways of being.

Thanks Barbara
Our interpretive schema seem to be rather different, and your words created a very warm feeling in my being, for which I am truly grateful (part of me is very fond of Kudos also 😉 ).
Ailsa and I had a great laugh at the idea of a god who doesn’t believe in himself – kinda has a Terry Pratchet ring to it, like the God of Athiests.

Hi, Ted — while I was reading your posts on being human, that is the image that came to mind: you being part of the creative intelligence that help put our universe together (or blew it apart!)
I am reading “How God Changes Your Brain” right now and there are studies of athiests that show while they do not believe in God, they can still be highly spiritual. Best to you and Ailsa.
