Changes

True [[art]] is never created from the [[mountain]] tops of giddy self-exaltation. When the artist exalts himself, he has already fallen. [[Scientists]], of course, are artists as well. There is art in taking the facts of [[observation]] and seeing within those facts a higher pattern. There is [[art]] in this [[expression]] when the pattern is [[revealed]] to others. The [[principle]] that allows the artist to surrender to a [[higher mind]] is the same for a scientist. Flashes of [[insight]] come to those who open themselves to receiving flashes of insight.

All artists [[perceive]] [[reality]] then recreate that reality in ways that are their own. Don't be [[afraid]] of your own [[uniqueness]], [[embrace]] it. Artists, especially scientists, often feel [[pressure]] to conform to the style of the day or the prevailing [[thought]]. The true artist takes that style or that thought a step further, makes it [[different]]. Even [[architects]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_design landscapers] feel a pressure to do what others are doings and, yet, those who are remembered are those who do things [[differently]]. Doing things differently can mean that what you do is not in style for a time period and you pay a price for it. But, if you are true to yourselves, you will find a place for what you do.

Do not despise the new, nor should you despise the old. Do not [[venerate]] the new, neither should you venerate the old. Find, rather, you own place in your own time in your own [[manner]] of [[self]]-[[expression]].

Q: Ham, Dawn is out of town and she asks for a message please.Ham: Yes of course. My dear, you are gaining great [[maturity]] and a [[poise]] at a very young age. You are finding great [[challenges]] in your work and are sometimes willing to [[sacrifice]] yourself in order to throw yourself into this, to forget yourself in a way. But, remember that life is for finding yourself and the more you come to [[understand]] who you are, the more joy you will know.

Q: Derrick, I have noticed on occasion, a [[celestial]] teacher will offer advice on [[health]]. I have had a condition since I was 6. I suffer from fainting spells. I have had many tests and have ruled out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsy epilepsy]. When I was young, it was thought that I suffered from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypglycemia hypoglycemia]. There is little [[evidence]] for that now. The latest [[theory]] is that they are from [[stress]]. Just before I faint everything gets [[dark]] and I feel [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausea nausea] and when I [[wake]] up I have nausea and my whole body is buzzing. I feel bad for the next few days. Do you have any [[idea]] what might be wrong with me and how I might prevent these spells.

Ham: Son, this condition appears to be a form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsy epilepsy] which is rarely seen and goes undiagnosed because it is so infrequent. Basically, it is a [[central nervous system]] convulsion or when all the nerve bundles in your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord spinal cord] are in electrical [[sync]] and they all fire and stop at once, and even though this is only brief, it tends to [[short-circuit]] the [[brain]] for a moment and send a signal for everything to shut down so you faint. It is mostly a [[fear]] reaction afterwards which causes the nausea and kind of an extreme surge of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline adrenaline] trying to react to that happening causes you to feel very weak and sick for several days. I cannot give you a [[magic]] [[cure]] for this, but only to tell you that it is not life threatening or serious in itself and it may over time continue to decrease in regularity. As your [[body]] ages it is likely to be able to [[gradually]] not fix this, but not be running so fast that this is likely to happen so often, if that makes sense. Be sure to get enough [[rest]], to eat a [[balanced]] [[diet]], drink a lot of water, all those things which help your body in many areas will also help this. Red vegetables and fruits contain a chemical which is known to calm the [[nervous system]]. Also, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John's_Wort St. John's Wort] and things of that nature that are calming and good for the nervous system should be helpful.
