A Coming Of Age: A View on the Preventive and Alternative Medicine Sector

By Michael Koethner Wellness & Healing Consultant, Michael Koethner | July 2019

Let me start this article with a profound statement that I have come across back in 2014. It reflects and describes precisely what I have instinctively known since my arrival on this planet. Humanity has now literally standing at the doorstep of this incredible new way of looking at our Self and the world around us, including the universe. The burning desire within each of us will open the door and lead humanity into a new era of limitless opportunities.

Basically speaking, there is no other choice for us than to go this way; or else there will be extinction of our species, forever. The purpose of the individual human life is to become what is meant to be => a universal, powerful, all-encompassing, multi-dimensional citizen, nothing lesser than that.

Below is the quote Alex Collier as he once passed on to us, via inter-dimensional source:

The purpose of humanity is "Profound Self-Determination and Responsible Freedom. Be truly and deeply Self-Confident and Free. To Unconditionally be Responsible for One-Self; without being Coerced to accept some Higher Authority."

How profound and substantial is that statement, incredible and supernatural, but it is something that we know deep inside of us. In the past few years, I am continuously being inspired by various people from around the globe to participate in the exchange and passing on of valuable information and truth in order to broaden the view on life and removing remaining blockages.

One of the reasons I am passing on these messages is the fact that as a young person I inherently knew about what is being said in the quote above, but I was not able to express my Self, my thoughts and feelings in an adequate, professional manner and with a sense of urgency. I am now following through with what I wanted to do many years ago, to assist in the process of true growth, and of delivering some of the truths that needs to be said and published.

From a universally, interdimensional and multidimensional point of view, humanity is right now literally moving from one age into another. From an age of sensitivity, control, hierarchy, shame, blame, guilt, backstabbing, mobbing, suffering and group conscious, into an age of individuality, technology, self-reliance, self-responsibility, self-sufficiency, creativity, freedom from the collective and release from a very limiting group behavior. This is shown in the mystical image of the water bearer as he pours out the water into the open and with it all life. The fish are now being released into open water and freed from the limiting glass bowl.

Symbolically speaking, it is the release out of the womb. Let's consider the father to be the universe and its invisible but nevertheless profound and extraordinary life given force, the never-ending creation process. The womb is mother earth and the midwife of us humans. It is planet earth that has accepted us for eons and has willingly provided us with everything that a womb would provide for a new life to be born. We have been selected and are considered to be a sacred species with a very complex and unique spiritual as well as multi-dimensional make-up that will eventually enrich other species and entities on their journey of becoming; yet we are not alone.

As we emerge, wake up and grow, we come to terms with the fact that life in the womb was very good, comfy and somewhat pretty easy, if not lazy. Now we have to get real. Life in the womb is getting a bit tight and hot, the food is no longer enough and there is not enough room to move. As we grow, the space gets smaller by the minute. Growth requires lots of room to move, freedom to choose, so the creative capabilities can be applied in the most fruitful manner.

Our journey on mother earth, up until now, has been an extraordinary, a rough and tough experience. Right now, we are experiencing a gradual pulling and pushing out of the darkness. The only thing we had to do is to absorb the energy waves that were thrown at us, the food, and the nutrients; all free of charge. We have tried to make the best of it. Yes, we have come a long way. From the first thought to the present day we, unfortunately, also experienced abhorrent abuse of all sorts, man-made systems of control that enslaved us, nasty and negative energy attacks from entities, that are partly from planet earth and partly from other dimensions, trying to own and control us.

To some extend these impacts have left a deep wound/scar on our psyche, our body and on our overall development as a species. We are not yet out of the womb, and these influences and attacks have not yet come to an end, therefore, it is time to send out lots of messages to inform people.

However, as planet earth is pressing and urging us to wake up and do something about our current conditioning, we are, on the other hand, also being pulled by an invisible common source, one may call it the collective soul or the inherent desire for growth. A desire that is so vast it can never ever be totally silenced and/or repressed, it's time to listen carefully to our inner voice and adjust to the new life that is right in front of us. It is the life of renegades that are here to set a new paradigm and to fight for the individual and collective freedom, on all fronts. The proverbial umbilical cord is just about to be cut. Once it is cut, there is no return. We are the midwives for the greater good. Planet earth needs us to cut ourselves free from all restrictive and repressive systems.

Ultimately, we have only two choices. One is to simply and stubbornly refuse to do anything, out of fear and ignorance, and the result would be a painful one, a death in the womb. To allow this to happen would be even more painful. To vanish forever and ever together with planet earth would be a total waste and utter disrespect toward creation. The other is to being pushed or pulled out of the dark matter and blindness by midwifes requires hard work, but the result to eventually stand up for who we are meant to be is worth the challenge. We are here to clean up this unbelievable mess these entities have left behind. Clean up the psychological damage, the sociological disorder, the polluted environment, the fear mongering, the manipulation and so forth.

Once the doctor smacks us on our bottom, the scream will be like a huge thunder, of freedom of repression, of joy, of love, of excitement but also a scream that signals full responsibility for our life. As we are now moving into a new paradigm of being fully self-reliant and responsible the collective and old systems of order are disintegrating. We are here to set an example of extraordinary proportions. We can no longer sit on the couch and dream and/or waste our lives away. Nor can we accept the very outdated and restarted systems of control and coercion. This process has started, many years ago, but it is now in full swing, as the level of ignorance and inaction has reached a level of unacceptability. Some of us are ahead of time, others will have to run fast to catch up.

Now, the question arises, what has the above to do with preventive medicine and alternative medicine and indigenous and sacred treatment applications, some may ask A lot, because the discovery and the awareness of the entire healing and restoration power lies within each of us. The way we use machines or let machines tell us how we feel and how machines evaluate our body condition has to change, urgently. There is more than sufficient evidence to be found and to support this fact and all ways of healing recuperation of the human body need to respect that. It is the law of nature that regulates everything and everyone. This law cannot be broken and/or altered by man; and for the sake of the survival of humanity it is about time to recognize that.

We all have to urgently acknowledge that there is this inherent and profound sacred knowledge sitting within of us, but it needs to be released and applied soon, in the most beneficial manner yet to be seen. Nature and the universe are ready to assist us if we are prepared to ask and trust in the process of natural growth. Each individual and/or company who provide any of the healing and preventive treatments related to the cure of disease or providing helpful and effective solutions to any given condition, need to be fully aware of the fact that each person must be treated with the utmost respect. With the given knowledge already at the person's disposal it needs to be channeled in order for the healing to be effective. Any side-track and manipulation will be felt immediately.

Let me come to a closing part of this very brief article on preventive and alternative medicine with a quote from Jordan Peterson: "The Success of a society is predicated on the integrity of the individua l." Both sides have their benefits and possibly also some drawbacks, however if both can finally work together in the most effective manner than the growth and health of humanity and some associated industries are bound to reach unspoken, unheard of and unlimited achievements. The spa, health, wellness and preventive medicine sector is pretty much consumed by change and adjustments in the past few years. Currently there is only re-action instead of creation, simply because no one is willing to step out of the old and vanishing paradigm.

Why not work on a value system that will match the future humanity and lifestyle and work as a team on the integrity of the individual, the responsibility, honesty and trust in self. On another note I would also mention the point that the make-up of the human body is also designed to last many more years than what we have been taught. When I first heard of that statement presented by Gail Minogue, I instantly resonated with it and was pushed back to my childhood when I exactly had this vision within myself; and I am still holding this vision within me, not from my mind but from my heart. Given that humans will live to an age 150 years or even longer in the years to come, the preventive and alternative medicine sectors seriously need to adjust their approach of how to provide adequate health services.

Imagine that you only reached the "mid-life" when you have lived 60 years on this planet, now you are discovering that you have another 90 years to go. That requires extraordinary planning and a radical change of perception toward everything in your life. In order to explain this in a bit more detail let's have a look at the stages of life, explained by Gail Minogue and rephrased here in this article. There is a deep knowing how a person's life is going to play itself out and no man-made power can stop that; unless, however, the person themselves is allowing this to happen. This is where the law of nature sets in again, and it might force the person to alter their outlook, if the fire of desire is still burning inside.

First stage: from the age of your first year to the age of 30 one will have to do everything to gain enough knowledge from various sources in order to grow out of childhood. Imagine that you are living in your childhood until the age of 30, I am pretty much can resonate with that as my real-life experience really started after the age of 30 and I feel that I am now only getting out of high school these days. According to this calculation, the adult life will effectively start with the age of 30, also called the middle years to around 60 years of age.

These are going to be where the individual is establishing oneself, freeing oneself physically, mentally from the shoulds and from the limitations from society, including their parents. The key turning point is the age around 50 years of age, which are the years of laying new foundations, a platform for for the next 90 years. Incredible isn't it? It's awesome. Then the years of productiveness are approaching, from mid 60's to 90's. These years are the years of liberation and they are very important to establish oneself in society in a brand-new manner. Retirement is a man-made concept of control; there is no such thing.

If the preventive medicine sector and the alternative medicine can work together then they should urgently focus on the aspect of longevity, through the application of modern treatments and sacred healing and the application of natural medicine.

How Online Channels Can Influence Customer Engagement

By Maliha Aqeel, Founder & CEO, The Ideas Collective Inc.

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to work with the customer practice at a global consulting firm. One of our major projects was centered around the study of different consumer types and their interactions with brands. This work was driven by a megatrend we identified as the empowered consumer, where consumer choice was the key driver. In an era of information overload, customers are seeking curated experiences to navigate the abundance of choices. As individual customers become more discerning, traditional advertising methods are losing their effectiveness. They are willing to invest in personalized experiences that cater to their unique...

Artificial Intelligence: No Substitute for the Human Touch in Hospitality

By Simon Hudson, Professor in Tourism & Hospitality, University of South Carolina

There is a growing body of knowledge focusing on the influence that artificial intelligence (AI) is having on the hospitality industry. What the evidence suggests is that for hospitality businesses, the impact of AI to date has been very positive. Hospitality marketers, for example, are using AI powered systems to analyze vast amounts of customer data, such as booking history, preferences, and online behavior.

GRWM: Applying Tiktok Trends to Hotel Social Media

By Carrie Trimble, Associate Professor of Marketing, Millikin University

Nails tap rhythmically on a skin care product, and the text on screen reads "GRWM for school". Or work. A wedding. To spill the tea. In a fit of stops and starts across six or seven minutes, bedhead is transformed into bouncy curls, a naked face is contoured and highlighted, and the #OOTD is assembled and accessorized. All the while, the viewer is entertained, informed, and attentive. This is the most common formula for a GRWM (Get Ready With Me) video; the content creator records themselves dressed and styled for the day with the intent of displaying their OOTD...

Challenges Faced by Hospitality Organizations in Overcoming Communication Silos

By Jaime McMahon, Chief Digital Officer, LineZero

Hotels are an extremely unique business sector that regularly faces many challenges, from supply chain issues to seasonal fluctuations in demand, yet one pivotal element of a successful hotel operation that many leaders in the space might not consider is communication. Given how intricate the structure and operation of hotels are, even when compared to other organizations in the hospitality industry, quality communication is a fundamental characteristic that these businesses must invest in. With the exception of small mom-and-pop operations, most hotels are medium-to-large chains full of moving parts, including front desk staff, housekeepers, bellhops, valets, maintenance workers,...

How Outdated Hotel Value Propositions are Undermining Impact

By Drew Yancey, CEO, Teleios Strategy

The hospitality industry is at an inflection point. Long defined by traditional promises of luxury, comfort, and convenience, the sector is now being reshaped by evolving guest expectations, intensifying competition, and increasing operational complexity. These shifts demand a fundamental reevaluation of how hotels present their value to the market. Unfortunately, many hotels are failing to adapt, clinging to outdated value propositions that no longer resonate with modern travelers. A hotel’s value proposition is the cornerstone of its brand promise—a clear declaration of why guests should choose it over competitors. Yet, as traveler preferences have changed, many hotels have...

By John Dorer, CEO, eb3.work
