She lives in a rural area and has a limited income. In her E mail, she gave me an overview of her health problems and wondered aloud whether she would be able to find a knowledgeable person who could guide her away from conventional treatment and towards a more natural, holistic approach. I wrote back that she could become her own knowledgeable guide by educating herself about how the body works and to study Nature's rules for healthy living. I offered to help her in her quest. Part of her response to that E mail is reprinted below. Her question raises an issue that I've talked about privately with friends, but have never broached in public. I thought this was a good opportunity to do so. On Jan 12, 2000, Rylenda wrote: Dear Ken,
My reply: Hi Rylenda,
Buying into this mindset will only WEAKEN you and rob you of your sense of self worth, self power, and self authority (or self reliance). The dynamics of repeatedly expressing academic credentials serves to bolster the ego of the person claiming the authority while simultaneously diminishing the self image of the listener (or follower) who is constantly yielding to the authority's supposedly 'superior' knowledge. Have you ever heard DOCTOR Laura Schlesinger on the radio? If so, have you noticed how incessantly she, and her announcers, constantly emphasize the words: DOCTOR Laura? All of her callers will consistently address her as DOCTOR Laura. Her phone number is even 1-800-DOCTOR Laura. Q. Why do you think they keep hammering you with that word? In a kinder and gentler world, academic credentials would be useful and helpful to express, but in THIS world, it's used as a power tool to manipulate and dominate others. That's why I don't talk about my academic background. Judge for YOURSELF the value of my words by weighing WHAT I have to say vis-a-vis the opinions expressed by others. The entire philosophical thrust of my web site is to get people to THINK FOR THEMSELVES and not depend on the opinion of credentialed authority figures (see: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml ). Sure, you study the opinion of others, but ultimately you do your own research and make your own decisions. Wake up! You are a Powerful Light Being with enormous knowledge and insight. Take advantage of your evolution and stop listening to The Organized Liars who try to convince you that you're dumb and inferior and require THEIR help to get by. I'm not going to be treating you. You're going to be treating yourself. I'm prepared to share information with you if you want it. Sincerely, Ken Adachi
