The author's true, exciting and serendipitous journey through the wilds of Papua New Guinea, the Himalayas, around the planet and into the heart of life guaranteed to change the way you see the world.
In Search of Simplicityis a startlingly poignant and inspiring real-life endorsement of the power of thought, belief and synchronicity in one’s life. It has been compared with James Redfield’s The Celestine Prophecy and Dan Millman’s Way of the Peaceful Warrior. It is a page-turning adventure story and it’s TRUE.
In Search of Simplicity offers a gateway into a world in which your deepest dreams and wishes are fulfilled, even before you are aware of them, a gateway into that place of simplicity where you stop struggling and trying to make it happen and simply allow it to happen.
When you’re in the right place, doing just what you want to do, and genuinely enjoying it, the Universe bends over backwards to ensure your success.
‘This book has important keys to living well. Far from predictable, it is an exciting read; showing us that living with simplicity can lead to stimulating adventures, fresh insights and a deeper understanding of life.’
Here’s a fun, five minute interview that Eileen Kapa of DBFR makes with the author as he speaks about In Search of Simplicity and some of the bigger questions of life the book endeavours to answer. This was made as a small part of a Far North book launch and book signing tour in March, 2009.
My search for simplicity carried me all over the world. You could call it a search for a simpler way of living, a more natural way of being.
The external journey culminated in living for periods of time with two sets of agrarian people, one Islamic, the other Christian—the Hunzas in their Shangri La stronghold at the roof top of the world and the Trobriand Islanders at their doorstep perched on coral islets in the western Pacific. Each of these societies lives with grace and in balanced harmony with nature.
The internal journey took place while staying in Dharmsala, home of the displaced Tibetans and their leader, the Dalai Lama, in northern India. That journey carried me home to the place we’re all seeking, to the source of sustenance spoken of by every mystic, to the Heart of Life itself.
It is a story of import to every human being because it is the journey we are all on, a search for the meaning of life.
The story is filled with coincidences to the point of disbelief. The journey brought me in contact with inspiring people who dared to be different, who have dared to be themselves.
It is an epic adventure. It is a story of love. It has helped me to live my life with a simpler perspective and more meaning. I trust it does the same for you.
Years after the events described in In Search of Simplicity took place, I read The Celestine Prophecy for the first time. It feels like my personal journey is like that of the reluctant fictional hero created by James Redfield. I continue to be swept along on a great adventure (of my own making) to discover and to share the magic and the mystery of life. It’s waiting for us all behind every smile and with every breath of the wind.
Blessings, John
INSEARCH OF SIMPLICITY by John P Haines …a truly amazing true story travel/adventure book by a loving and thoughtful man.
The Living Matrix is a film bringing the new science of healing to the mainstream. One of the key players in the documentary, Lynne McTaggart, (The Intention Experiment) and Noetic Science feature in Dan Brown’s new book, The Lost Symbol. Brown also brings these, up until now somewhat fringe ideas, to a wider public.
People one hundred (maybe only fifty) years from now will look back at these times and say, “Did people really pop pills of poison as their first choice for healing back then?”
The Living Matrix investigates the work and perspective of leading new thinkers such as Dr. Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief) and Rupert Sheldrake (The Presence of the Past and many other titles.) The film attempts to explain the unexplainable (in terms of traditional medicine), delving into energy healing and spontaneous remissions. The Living Matrix is a must view for anyone seriously interested in the healing of today and tomorrow.
Just hours ago I received a query from a friend who is faced with mandatory vaccination. Simultaneously I happened across the following suggestions from Dr. Russell Blaylock that I’m happy to pass on. You can apply some or all of these suggestions to minimize vaccine damage. I would also use the power of your mind with an affirmation like, “The negative parts of these vaccines have no influence on me or my body. I am strong, vital and healthy.” I would personally use bentonite clay on an empty tummy. Mix about one teaspoon of the clay in a glass of water. It doesn’t taste bad. I find it quite effective when I’ve been exposed to toxins. You can boost your immune system with Swedish Bitters. And a good homeopath should be able to help remove toxins after an injection.
John
Here is valuable information from Dr. Russell Blaylock on how to reduce damage from any vaccination.
Standard disclaimer: Please note that this information is not approved by the FDA and that none of the supplements, remedies, or other recommendations are intended to diagnose, prevent, or treat any disease.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, a former Neurosurgeon, is now one of our top CAM researchers. This list of what can be done is invaluable for your patients. Please circulate this now. We are indebted to him for making this detailed information widely available.
We know of lives that are being damaged when people are told that their schooling will be discontinued unless they submit to vaccinations. I am confident that this program will permit those who are giving up on their life’s plan, to go ahead safely and submit to the vaccination so that they can follow it.
I know for certain that Archie Kalikrinos MD in Australia saved lives with just the vitamin C, which, as Dr Blaylock advised here, should be the SODIUM ASCORBATE, as found in the most advanced vitamin C product in the world BIOE’NR-G’Y C. Note the studies to prove this are available; no other Vitamin C based formula has ever had the dramatic reductions in ROS even at extremely low doses that BIOE’NR-G’Y C was shown to still be working.
So if your patients can not understand all of the advice carefully offered here by Dr Blaylock, rest assured we can dramatically reduce the negative effect from vaccines with even the right form of Vitamin C alone. Please pass this information along to your patients as they are facing these issues. Those who cannot follow the advice regarding how to not be vaccinated, at least with all of this information, will be greatly protected against harmful effects.
Russell Blaylock, MD – What To Do If Force Vaccinated By Dr. Russell Blaylock

Dr Blaylock’s List of suggestions on How to Reduce the Toxic Effects of the A/H1N1 Vaccine, is as follows:
1. Number one on the list says Dr Blaylock, is to bring a cold pack with you and place it on the site of the injection as soon as you can, as this will block the immune reaction. Once you get home, continue using a cold pack throughout the day. If you continue to have immune reactions the following day, have cold showers and continue with the cold press.
2. Take fish oil. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), one of the omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements, is a potent immune suppressant. If you take high dose EPA you will be more susceptible to infections, because it is a powerful immune suppressant. However, in the case of an immune adjuvant reaction, you want to reduce it. Studies show that if you take EPA oil one hour before injecting a very powerful adjuvant called lipopolysaccharide (LPS), it would completely block the ability of the LPS to cause brain inflammation. Take a moderate dose everyday and more if needed to tame a cytokine storm.
3. <http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/f-w00/flavonoid.html>Flavonoids are third on the list, namely curcumin, quercetin, ferulic acid and ellagic acid, particularly in a mixture. The curcumin and quercetin in particular have been found to block the ability of the adjuvants to trigger a long-term immune reaction. If you take it an hour before the vaccination, it should help dampen the immune reactions says Dr Blaylock.
4. Vitamin E, the natural form that is high in gamma-E will help dampen the immune reactions and reduces several of the inflammatory cytokines.
5. An important ingredient on the list is Vitamin C at a dose of 1000 mg, taken four times a day between meals. It is a very potent anti-inflammatory and should be taken in a buffered form, not as absorbic acid, says Dr Blaylock.
6. <http://www.naturalnews.com/002156.html> Also use astaxanthin as it’s an anti-inflammatory. According to Dr Blaylock, fatal reactions to vaccines in aboriginal and African children occurred in those who were deficient in carotinoids, like astaxanthin. It is a good protection against the toxic effects of the vaccine.
7. Likewise, it was found that children who were deficient in zinc had a high mortality rate. Zinc is very protective against vaccine toxicity. (Do not use zinc mixed with copper however, as copper is a major trigger of free-radical generation according to Dr Blaylock).
8. Ensure you avoid all immune-stimulating supplements, such as mushroom extracts, whey protein and <http://www.betaglucan.org/>beta-glucan.
9. Take a multivitamin-mineral daily ¬ one that does not contain iron. This multivitamin-mineral is to make sure your body has plenty of B vitamins and selenium. Selenium, said Dr Blaylock, is very important for fighting viral infections and it reduces the inflammatory response to vaccines.
10. Magnesium citrate/malate 500 mg of elemental magnesium two capsules, three times a day. (This was not mentioned during the show, but was posted at Dr Deagle’s website, <http://www.clayandiron.com/news.jhtml?method=view&news.id=2103>ClayandIron.com).
11. What is very important is vitamin D3, which is the only ‘vitamin’ the body can manufacture from sunlight (UVB). It is a neural hormone, not really a vitamin says Dr Blaylock and helps if you are over-reacting immunologically by cooling down the reaction. Similarly, if you are under-reacting, it helps to boost your immune response. In addition it also protects against microorganism invasion.
Black people and those in colder climates are particularly deficient, so they will almost certainly require supplementation.
Dr Blaylock recommends that following vaccination it will help to keep the immune reaction under control if:
i) All children get 5,000 units a day for two weeks after the vaccine and then 2,000 a units a day thereafter;
ii) Adults get 20,000 units a day after the vaccine for two weeks, then 10,000 units a day thereafter;
iii) And with that adults should take 500-1000 mg of calcium a day and children under the age of 12 years should take 250 mg a day, as vitamin D works more efficiently in the presence of calcium.
12. Ensure you avoid all mercury-containing seafood or any other sources of mercury, as the heavy metal is a very powerful inducer of autoimmunity, is known to make people more susceptible to viral infections and will be in H1N1 vaccines.
13. Avoid the oils that significantly suppress immunity and increase inflammation – such as corn, safflower, sunflower, soybean, canola and peanut oils.
14. Drink very concentrated white tea at least four times a day. It helps to prevent abnormal immune reactions.
Here’s a note I received yesterday from a big-hearted friend, Siona, who’s the director of www.gaia.com, the social network for people who really care about the planet. I urge you to read this and consider being part of something that benefits others through microfinancing.
Have a wonderful day,
John
For the past two years, I’ve had the honor of introducing MicroPlaceas one of our cherished partners for the holiday season. They’re an organization that enables everyday people to invest in microfinance, providing small loans to the working poor and allowing you to invest your money in a way that empowers and honors entrepreneurial members of the Global South.
This year, once more, they’re providing the means to open your circle of gift-giving, choosing a gift that touches not just your friend or loved one, but a family or entrepreneur on the other side of the world.
It’s a wonderful opportunity, and a wonderfully useful present. When you give the gift of a Microplace gift certificate, you’ll choose where to invest the money (be it a location like Africa, or to a particular cause, such as women entrepreneurs), and, when the investment matures, your loved one will get the money back to reinvest or remove to use in any way they wish.
So instead of a holiday cluttered with stuff, your gift will first help empower others to support themselves, and, when the investment matures, your loved one can use the money on whatever they choose. (And, until supplies run out, when you buy a gift of over $20, you’ll get another gift of $20 to give to someone else for free! )
And please help spread the word about Microplace to your own circle of friends, especially as the holidays near, and especially to those with large families! I think more and more people are looking for alternatives to the season of consumption, and this is one beautiful way to participate in the spirit in a far more meaningful way. The world we live in is growing smaller and smaller, and this is one way to make these connections more conscious, and more kind.
The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.
Graham Rogerson is a man with many faces—from Freemason to bellringer, from electrical engineer to world traveller. But it was his life in the Royal Navy that was the subject of our talk last night on Voices from the North.
Infant island of Surtsey, Iceland (formed 1963-67)
His first ten years in the navy were spent onboard surface ships and included involvement with the Bay of Pigs. He was in the right place at the right time to see an island being formed off the coast of Iceland. This was later reported in National Geographic Magazine.
With the onset of the Cold War, Britain began to build up subsurface mobilization. Graham was drafted to serve on nuclear submarines. His talk on the initial training and life on board a hunter-killer submarine makes fascinating listening.
When I asked Graham how he felt about nuclear bombs and energy in light of New Zealand’s anti nuclear stance he gave an impassioned response. He feels nuclear energy for peaceful purposes should not be dismissed carte blanche. But he is vehemently opposes atomic weapons and bombs, quoting Oppenheimer’s response in the wake of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I urge you to listen to Graham’s account of a life under the sea most of us will never experience.
Here’s a little story we can all relate to compliments of my friend, Elan Sunstar.
Enjoy, John
Fear is the darkroom in which negatives are developed
― Source unknown
Today you may have all kinds of little spooks and goblins knocking at your door for trick or treat. Neighborhood kids will don clever costumes, and once they get their candy they will be off to the next neighbor. In many ways Halloween is a light-hearted holiday that both kids and adults can enjoy.
Yet there are other kinds of spooks and goblins that knock at your door that are not so fun to greet, and they do not go away when you give them a small treat. Fears and worries may invade your domain and deplete you of joy and energy. How can you get them to go away?
In an episode of the Star Trek television series, the Starship Enterprise was invaded by a dark force that possessed the crew members and forced them to do evil, violent acts. One by one the crew was taken over, until mass chaos and pandemonium reigned. If the leaders of the ship did not do something quickly, the force would commandeer the entire ship and lead it to destruction.
After studying the methods of the malevolent entity, the ship’s commanders realized that it was feeding on fear. The more it could make the crew members afraid, the more power it had to control them and make them do its dark bidding. So Dr. McCoy concocted a serum that , when administered, would make the crew happy for a brief time, and remove the fear that the force was feeding on. The entire crew was injected with the serum, and after a short time the entity had to depart because no one was giving it life by feeding it fear.
The Star Trek point was quite astute, and no different than real life. Terror and chaos feed on fear. If you remove fear, trouble has nothing to sustain it, and will depart. You don’t need to fight off fear. You just need to quit feeding it.
Are you fueling a troublesome situation with fear?
How might you undo the situation by refusing to invest any more fear into it?
I replace fear with love, and transform negative conditions into positive ones.
Two nights ago I watched the documentary, Home, with a small group of friends. The film, approaching two hours in duration, is a visual feast. Entirely shot from the air, presumably from a helicopter, it provides an aerial perspective of stunning natural vistas most of us will never see.
It also displays the unprecedented and startling changes humanity has wrought to the earth’s surface in the last fifty years. And it extrapolates that more minerals will be extracted, with ever larger and more powerful machinery, from the planet in the next twenty years than in all of recorded history. (See my earlier related blog Ok Tedi and China Blue)
All this is based on a premise of unlimited, exponential growth and rampant consumerism; that bigger is better. The film makes it abundantly clear we need to act now, if not very soon, to slow the avalanche of destruction and chart a new and gentler course for humanity. We are not walking softly on the earth and the sea at present, rather we are raping and pillaging at a rate sure to severely impact the ability of our children to enjoy this still amazing planet.
I thought the film was well worth viewing from a perspective of earthly beauty. I did feel the focus on the negative lasted too long and was somewhat numbing and disempowering. There were hints of positive possibilities near the end of the documentary with examples from smaller and saner nations like Denmark, Costa Rica and New Zealand.
It would appear the adage, ‘Think globally. Act locally,’ is as apt as ever. The morning after viewing the film, I picked up rubbish from the beach and then spent satisfying hours in the garden creating a huge mound of compost from hedge clippings, garden scraps and seaweed. Once again I felt empowered, knowing I was doing my little bit to make the world a more fertile and better place.
In Search of Simplicity is an autobiographical travel adventure story that reads like a novel. Over the years, when I’ve told some of the stories of coincidences now contained within the book, listeners began to have (or at least to notice) magical happenings in their own lives.
Now it is with great satisfaction that I receive feedback from readers of the transformative and inspirational quality of the book. Only yesterday I received an amazing review that I’d like to give you an opportunity to read. This makes all the work of writing worthwhile. Here’s the link:
Twice in my life I’ve contracted spinal meningitis, once at age 4 and again at 28. I was fortunate to survive the second time after ending up in a coma in an isolated Norwegian town. Both times the disease followed vaccinations. Is this a coincidence?
If we believe the press, New Zealand has had an epidemic of spinal meningitis since 1991. That’s the very year the MMR vaccine was introduced here. Is this a coincidence?
Click here to watch a family’s story of child vaccine injury. A family who sued the makers of the MMR vaccine for causing their child’s brain damage……….and they won the law suit.
There’s a Canadian doctor causing ripples if not tidal waves in the ocean of mainstream medicine today. He claims every vaccine causes a tiny stroke in the person receiving it. He says the effects of these vaccine-induced strokes are cumulative. Dr. Andrew Moulden has traced the clotting blood, common in the metabolism after vaccination, to brain damage in many children.
A. True Ott, PhD, ND has written a convincing treatise claiming that all pandemics in the last hundred years have been induced by vaccines. The list includes the 1918 flu pandemic, polio (the ONLY cases of recorded polio in the modern era have immediately followed vaccinations), the 1976 “Swine Flu” Fiasco, AIDS and “Gulf War Syndrome”. For more detail visit here.
Another Canadian doctor Ghislaine Lanctôt, author of the Medical Mafia, has underscored the lawsuit recently filed by Austrian journalist Jane Bürgermeister against the WHO, the UN, and several high ranking government and corporate officials. Bürgermeister has documented how an international corporate criminal syndicate plans to unleash a deadly flu virus and institute a forced vaccination program. Read more here.
A recent guest of mine on Voices from the North, talented naturopath, homeopath and osteopath, John Summerville stated in our show that of the people diagnosed with flu in 1918 and treated with conventional allopathic medicine there was a 28% mortality rate. Of those treated with homeopathics less than 0.1 of 1% died.
The medical community, supported by the pharmaceutical companies that make untold billions from vaccines, claims vaccinations have eradicated all sorts of killer diseases from the earth. Yet study after independent study show that the arrival of the vaccine followed the decline of the disease. The same studies and others demonstrate conclusively that cleanliness, hygiene and improved living conditions actually eliminated the diseases. London experienced seven major cholera outbreaks in the 1800s at a time when the inhabitants of that city lived in filth and squalor. Cholera is still found today in places with similar filthy living conditions. Polio too is a water-borne disease and it disappeared in America when chlorinated water filtration plants were introduced in the early 1960s.
Only 40% of medical workers choose to be vaccinated despite tremendous pressure to do so. Why? When NY State recently instituted compulsory swine flu vaccinations for health care workers did these same workers say, “Thank you?” No, they rose up in unison and marched at the state capital in Albany in protest. If they feel so strongly how should the general public feel?
Our two daughters, now age 19 and 16, have never been vaccinated. They have also never had to visit a doctor nor has either of them ever taken so much as an aspirin. Granted, they’ve each had the occasional cold or flu. But nothing that rest, plenty of fluids and natural remedies wouldn’t heal.
In the deliberate manufactured hype of today I urge you to use common sense and avoid being subjected to any dangerous vaccinations. And remember, as Dr. Moulden says, they’re all dangerous to some degree.
Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having over 20 years of clinical experience. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc.. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).
The following message given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know.
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it’s almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. “Hands-off-the-face” approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don’t trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don’t underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*
5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. *Drink plenty of warm liquids as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
My special guest on Voices from the North Wednesday, October 21st was activist Ashiya Austin, co-founder of the Coalition for Humanity in Australia. Here’s a lady unafraid to speak from her heart contrary to messages perpetuated in mainstream media. I interviewed her two years ago when she visited New Zealand from her then home base of Byron Bay in New South Wales in Australia. At the time she was on a mission to protect the whales of the Southern Ocean from illegal whaling.
Now she has a new bee in her bonnet. She’s here to wake people up to the dangers of the Swine Flu vaccine and to the (as she claims) agenda behind the apparent scare of today. I urge you to listen to the interview. It has shades of Orwell’s 1984 or a Ludlum novel. And Ashiya claims it’s really happening. With the news in the last days in America I can hardly believe the timely nature of this interview. I’ve got some other pressing writing currently so this is it for now. I’ll be posting more soon.
Again, Ashiya outlines the dangers in the Swine Flu Vaccine and in the concerns she and others have of an agenda to use the vaccine to depopulate the world. Yes, you read this correctly. This is a controversial interview I urge you to listen to with an open mind. It contains an audio clip of retired Finnish Chief Medical Officer Rauni Kilde and another of the catchy rap Flu Song.
Here’s the link to the talk I did on October 21st with Ashiya Austin. I won’t say, ‘Enjoy,’ as I usually do. I will say, ‘Be informed.’
The author's true, exciting and serendipitous journey through the wilds of Papua New Guinea, the Himalayas, around the planet and into the heart of life guaranteed to change the way you see the world.
