Getting Real about Violence Prevention

Newton, MA ..
...
April, 22nd 2007 Gun laws and tighter security are not the only answers to solving the problems of violence in America.
Getting real about gun violence involves looking at the biological make-up and consciousness of the shooter.
Learning why individuals become violent is imperative if we are to prevent violence.
What occurred at Virginia Tech is horrifying and deeply sad, but perhaps it also presents an opportunity for learning.
Why did Seung-Hui Cho shoot these people and then kill himself? We all know it's not the guns' fault! Guns are neither "bad" nor "good," "violent" nor "peaceful".
By themselves, they are a piece of metal formed into a mechanism that can fire a lead bullet, hollow point or otherwise.
In the hands of a police officer or a soldier or someone defending oneself, they are considered a weapon for "peace" or "safety", even when it kills someone.
The same gun in the hands of a criminal or someone mentally disturbed is considered "bad" or "evil" if it kills someone.
The fact of the matter is, whether one calls the gun "good" or "bad", "peaceful" or "evil", the gun that is used to shoot anybody is deadly.
And the overriding question remains: what is the cause of such violence? The shootings at Virginia Tech were tragically fatal for 33 people.
The question to ask is: Why do certain individuals pull the trigger and others do not? In my mind, we have to look at the biological and psychological make-up of the individual person.
I believe our psychology is strongly influenced by our biological conditions, which are greatly affected by what we ingest into our bodies.
For example, if one eats junk food and food that is created violently, one is going to experience the junk and violent energy of that food, which expresses itself as anger, upsetness and frustration.
If one eats peaceful and calming foods, one is going to experience the peace and calming energy of these foods, which expresses itself as loving and harmonious.
In other words, biology affects our psychology; how we feel, think and act.
I know there exists contention as to whether psychology precedes biology or biology proceeds psychology; whether our thinking affects our biological make-up, or whether our biological make-up affects our thinking.
I believe both are true.
Nevertheless, the discussion could lead to the answers as to why there are more peaceful people than violent people in the world? And why Seung-Hui Cho shot these people and then killed himself? I believe that this fellow, Cho Seung-Hui, who was angry and disturbed, writing violent plays (which sort of reminded me of Stephen King's books!), and taking medication for depression, perhaps was discharging all the crap and "junk food" he took in and ate and was not able to control.
Perhaps his hurting body took over.
Whether he took in violent physical food: violently slaughtered animals, mind altering drugs, or violently created Genetically Modified food, which is created by shooting a pistol containing the desired gene to disperse the DNA into cells of ordinary seeds; or vibrationally violent food: violent news in newspapers, television, or violent video games, perhaps Cho had eaten or taken in an excess of violent foods in such a way as to cause his internal organs, his mind and his spirit to disconnect from the natural state and feeling of calm and peace and love which so many of us experience.
Most doctors don't know the cause of psychological problems and choose to treat the symptoms with medications rather than address the cause.
But the scientific evidence is showing the connection between mental illness and food.
To take one example from Paul Pitchford's, Healing with Whole Foods, "white sugar weakens the mind, causing loss of memory and concentration, nervousness, shyness, violence, excessive or no talking, negative thought, paranoia and emotional upsets,...
" Could a white sugar overload cause Cho Seung-Hui to end the lives of 33 people? Kind of hard to believe, but I see lots of this type of behavior happening all the time in lesser degrees.
Everyone should be able to relate to a child on a sugar jag! Also, there are some preliminary indications that eating an excess of GM (genetically modified) foods and foods with pesticides, using mind altering medications such as antidepressants, and being exposed to electromagnetic radiation, can trigger people, especially young people, to commit violent acts.
It would be interesting to find out what kind of diet Cho was on.
Why any given person symptomatizes, of course, is almost impossible to say.
It is interesting to note that the wave of school shootings coincides with the introduction of GM foods.
For most of us, we experience a sense of peace and harmony, especially when feeling connected to and supported by others and living in harmony with nature.
But Cho, feeling alone, isolated and unloved, created a spiral of detachment and victimization, saying, "You forced me into a corner, and gave me only one option.
" Doesn't this sound like someone with a memory loss, someone who does not remember who he is, a vital being, integrally connected to all of life?The type of communication he was using reveals his perversion and disturbed consciousness, possibly influenced by violent "foods," both physical and vibrational.
As our bodies break down, so does our ability to think and communicate clearly and control our bodies.
Cho lost it.
He lost his way and lost self-control! May we use this tragedy as an opportunity to reclaim our innate wisdom and raise the level of consciousness of our world community to one in which we live in harmony with one another and with nature, including through the food we eat.
