Reaching out for kind words, good energy, love, and support for my friend!! (from fb) (Jan. 20, 4:17pm)

My dear friend Michael Kenji Chapman has been struggling with a dangerous amount of insomnia these past four days. In his past, there have been four other occasions where he didn't sleep for up to a week straight (zero sleep!). This was a dangerous time where those closest to him were struck with fear and institutionalized him instead of helping heal him with love and compassion. He is very scarred by these experiences in his past, which explains his often dark outlook on life, but I know in sharing so much time with him these past 2-3 years, that he is a profoundly insightful, beautiful, gentle, and loving soul.

I declare, that I am not ashamed or afraid of dancing on the boundaries and limits of human consciousness with my dear friend and I WILL NOT let the system take this beautiful soul into their vice grips again. I simply will not allow it. I myself have tested the boundaries of sleep cycles before (in a very calculated way), and I am confident in my grounding and stand here today as Michael's protector and his lover, filled with with the fierce style of protective and caring love that only mothers have. How I can have type of love flow through me without having had a child is beyond my understanding, but it is real.

Now, Michael and I both recognize that he is at a dangerous tipping point where he is on the brink of what society would consider insanity and he needs all the love and support he can get! For me, I am unafraid and stand by him as his protector everyday because to me, insanity is really just a word for things we cannot understand combined with a very intense driving life-force energy. We as humans must accept that we are limited by our senses and perceptions, and this statement can be easily be proven by how the human eye can be tricked into thinking that static pictures are a smooth and moving when we put them in quick succession-- this is what we call movies, and that is why there is so much magic in movies.

A CALL TO ACTION:
*** If there are any real people left here on facebook-- I ask now, that you send Michael Kenji Chapman encouraging messages / wall posts / friend invites to help him feel support and give him peace and rest through this difficult time. Actually, I he should be able to see your messages of encouragement if you just comment here too. If you feel moved by this post, please feel free to share it on your page as well and pass the message along.

Helping people who are normally marginalized by the system is an important task that we must all undertake together for the prosperity and future of humanity. Love (shared vulnerability), compassion, and inclusion is how we as humanity need to address marginalized people such as those we label as "insane", "criminals", "murderers"and "deviants." We cannot blame and fear others, we can only blame and fear ourselves and our culture. So if we want change, we must change ourselves and in doing so, change culture entirely.

Michael and me, we are starting a social-movement called Inoqoa (or Inoqoa Alliance). For now, we will organize as a facebook group because we must reap the seeds that have been sown here on this platform, but our vision is much much bigger and we will be slowly sharing more about our movement in the near future. In short, we are leading an all encompassing social movement, counter-culture, alternate currency, and constructed language that is honest about power and revolves around the Seven Values of Exchange: Honor, Humility, Patience, Prudence, Kindness, Integrity, and Resolve.

More to come Thank you for reading.

Music calms the soul. Soft, wonderful old music. Music from the soul of God glowing and flowing all over you Michael. I am seeing you in this wonderful, cozy cloud of soft safety. There is NO person,place or thing that can harm you Michael. That includes you yourself. Our prayers and good thoughts are now your protection. Sit back and listen to the soft music of God Himself.

There is this Icelandic band called 'Amiina' that Michael used to listen to a lot some years ago that we are listening to again as sort of a morning wake-up ritual now. We play this music starting in the morning everyday now as long as we need/feel it.

You can tune in with our morning waves here:

This music is so pure. You may recognize their sound because they used to play with Sigur Ros.

Sending my best to you both. Speaking as someone who is both a clinician and a patient, who knows sleep deprivation and the surprising turns the mind is capable of, both beautifully creative and deeply insightful yet also at times fear-based and destructive mentally and physically, I hope you both have lots of support and that some of that support is coming from people with professional training in medicine and related disciplines. There are at times substantial problems with health care and the people that provide it, no question, but it remains in my humble opinion essential to ensuring health of both mind and body. It is never sufficient, but it is almost always necessary. May you both be well and free from all suffering. Much love!

Does anyone know a specialist in headaches and the relationship they have to pain and illness? In particular, I would like to make this splitting headache go away so I can sleep.

I do not suffer that way, but all I have heard about is massive B-12 and Vit. E. E for increased circulation. B-12 for nerve health and calm. Also believe it or not, a friend of mine uses a cuppa hot coffee to relieve the blood vessels that have tightened up so much not even air is flowing! Well not all the way true, but. Natural help is way better in long run if you have headaches like this all the time. Hot shower bath? any ideas out there on opening up the blood vessels that are constricted and causing the headache?

I had been using this experimental Russian short-chain peptide called Vezugen for over a month, and had some relief from headaches in that time that were caused by 6500k 24/7 daylight CCFL Lamps all over the ceiling at work, where I exist 45+hours a week. However, I ran out of my last packet of the stuff, and so I have been just using Epitalon for the pineal gland to help with melatonin. However, no one in the US appears to be familiar with this stuff. Someone should really try reaching our to Dr. Vladimir Khavinson

Michael Kenji Chapman and Yung-Yeon-Hee Yim, I cannot emphasize too strongly from my own experience with both physical and mental health care the advice David Donovan offered (above). Yes, there are at times problems with health care and some of the people that provide it, but those with solid training and credentials can often work "miracles" by tapping into the healing capabilities of our own psyches, where that's relevant, and to the physical means of healing, where that's contributing to the problems. Mental and physical health is so much better understood by those with training and experience than we often realize, those of us who are not experienced, nor trained by professionals. This is not an arena for amateurs to move on their own when there are competent, experienced, trained people available with significant expertise.

If David is a friend, I urge you both to get in touch with him at least for specific advice about the truly relevant resources that are available.
