Unmasking HIV: Escaping the AIDS

Zone

By Michael Ellner and Tom DiFerdinando* © 1993

Over the years we had long observed a very interesting anddisturbing phenomenon. On the one hand, we had witnessedindividuals who had used non-toxic therapies for their healthchallenges, health challenges that were comparable to the healthchallenges of others who had recovered, but who themselves justgot sicker and sicker and eventually died, regardless of how wellthey seemed to take care of themselves.On the other hand, we saw individuals who were healthy and "atrisk", who understood the AIDS fraud, talked the talk real good,knew all the scientific studies and observed first hand whathappened to those who took the recommended treatments. These

"enlightened" individuals, as long as they remained healthy,seemed confident and free. But then with the onset of a simplecold, or a flu, or simply diarrhea, frightened, they suddenly ran tothe doctors, took the recommended treatments, got sicker and died.What was going on here? For the sake of completeness we wantedto address this phenomenon and found that all things being equal,the critical difference between who lived and who died waswhether or not one succeeded in escaping what we call the AIDS

Zone.

The AIDS Zone

You've just tested HIV antibody positive and suddenly you're inthe AIDS Zone. Everywhere you turn you are programmed to get



sick and die. Your health care providers won't look you in the eye,your friends offer an awkward smile and, when you explain tothem that except for your anxiety about the test result you don'treally feel sick, they compassionately treat you like you're

demented or in denial.

Before you know it a fever, some night sweats, diarrhea, even acneyou've had before all suddenly seem life threatening. Flu-likesymptoms have got to be the unbearable proof that the end is athand. And then the medications kick in. Now, feeling deathly ill,the fear and desperation which had already reached critical levelsskyrocket, the fatal prognosis becomes real, and you start wishing

you were dead.No matter how hard you try you're unable to think or talk aboutanything else but the terror, doom and gloom. So even your lovedones reach their breaking points and begin to distance themselves.You find yourself alone and more frightened than you've ever beenbefore. Nothing makes sense anymore. You keep seeing all those"nice" doctors burying their dead patients. After an opportunisticdisease or two, every second of every day feels overwhelming andyou start feeling that life itself is the disease and death is the cure.

Psychospiritual Health

This is a working model of "HIV" self-hypnosis. Driven by a"crisis mentality", it is an unconscious effort to push preexistingand unresolved psychospiritual tensions to a head. In spite of theirhealing actions and intentions, these people always sabotage theirhealth because the real underlying issues are never addressed. Andthe subliminal justification for it, reinforced everywhere they go, isthat AIDS is always fatal and nothing can be done.

But make no mistake about it. Not only is HIV harmless, it's onlyin the AIDS Zone that AIDS is always fatal! Aside from the



genuine factors of malnutrition and chemical toxification, it is notHIV but the deadly hex of HIV that is both necessary andsufficient to draw people into the Zone.

So what is this hex? Why are people susceptible to it? What weintend to demonstrate is that 1) HIV is not the source of the terror,hopelessness and helplessness associated with it, that it is insteadmerely a trigger, successfully forcing to a head the emotionaltension of a preexisting and long-standing psychospiritual healingcrisis, 2) that this healing crisis is both operating and preexistentnot only within antibody positive individuals but within asubstantial portion of the general population, and 3) that as human

beings, we're naturally outside the Zone but artificially drawn intoit, day by day, by authoritarian social conditions which, by theirvery nature, actively work to undermine one's capacity for thepleasure, hope and responsible freedom in life that are the hallmarkof psychospiritual health.

Taken together, these points will dramatically illustrate the factthat, along with holistic approaches, the second and more criticalelement in recovering one's health or staying healthy if at risk isescaping the AIDS Zone. And that until one is aware of this fact,the incapacitating despair that otherwise results will remain theZone's central anchoring force.

I. Two Cosmic Truths

The true essence of spirituality is expressed in whether or not one'sdeepest relationship to the wider universe is intact. When intact,one experiences a deeply rooted wholeness and sense of belongingthat is not only the basis for psychospiritual health, but whichspontaneously gives rise to two inescapable truths. One is that Lifeis on your side. The other is that you are an active participant in theoutcome of your situations.



If this relationship is catastrophically compromised however, aprofound sense of isolation results. It is not a physical isolation buta psychospiritual one which, in the face of any significant crisis,gives rise to two inescapable symptoms. One is a potentially life-

threatening hopelessness. The other is a devastating sense of helplessness. Together, these symptoms are the hallmark of thepsychospiritual healing crisis.

Hope

Health is the goal of all illness. It is not the other way around. If, asthe modern medical sciences would have us believe, we were

nothing but disease-prone biochemical machines that constantlyrequire the upkeep and expert intervention of doctors, drugs andassorted technologies, there could be no pain, no fear, no sicknessand no AIDS. An injury or toxin would do its damage, there wouldbe absolutely no symptoms at any stage of the illness, there wouldbe absolutely no effort or desire to overcome it, and we'd die withno one either noticing or caring.

Of course this is hardly the case. Life is a self-correcting systemwhich, as we shall see, regulates itself emotionally. Far from totalindifference and incompetence, the symptoms of sickness, fear,disease and, in extreme cases, death are a direct expression of anintelligent organism responding to a serious threat or imbalance.They are an expression of the healing process forcefully assertingitself, working quite vigorously in fact to restore its preexistingintegrity.

More importantly though, this physical healing response isaccompanied by the emotional desire to get better. And you mustwant to get better. Why else would you have gone to a healthprofessional?

And this is the critical point. The body's vigorous response to



restore health on the one hand and our natural desire to get betteron the other are the physical and psychological counterparts to oneand the same Creative Life Force. You cannot have one withoutthe other. Together they are the expressions of a much deeper and

profoundly more comprehensive Bio-Cosmic Law of integrationand wholeness that, completely out of our hands, was operativeand existant long before doctors and scientists arrived on the scene,and one which continues to govern the life process today in spite of what doctors and scientists do.

If producing the symptoms of illness and the simple desire to getbetter are simply two expressions of one and the same biologically

active process, it is impossible to desire total health without thesimultaneous and fully operational capacity to produce it. Contactwith this deep inner truth is the basis for the experience of Hope.Life is on your side. Make sure your physician is also.

An Illusion of Helplessness

Life is a creative process. As the process unfolds, each definingelement within it plays a critical role in determining exactly howthe situation ultimately plays itself out.

As products of this process, we are no exception. Simply by beinghuman we play a critical defining role in our lives. Any situationwithin which we find ourselves necessarily includes us in itsdefinition. Like it or not, we are therefore an active participant inthe outcome of our situations.

But more important, when one is emotionally connected to thebroader environmental process one also experiences an emotionaland self-regulatory stake in its outcome. This is the basis for self-responsibility and self-empowerment; one spontaneously wants totake charge and participate as one immediately feels the fact of consequences going with actions.



And this is the second critical point. As an active and responsibleparticipant in the outcome of your situations, it is only when youfeel emotionally divorced from your broader environment that youcan feel helpless. This is all helplessness is. You do not feel

helpless due to some innate and absolute state of not being able todo anything. You feel helpless because you have beenexperiencially cut off, isolated, both internally and externally, fromthe broader dynamics of your evolving situation.

Health

If you are an active participant in the outcome of your situations,

you are also an active participant in the outcome of your health.Direct access to the mechanism of health is gained through thefulfillment of our basic human needs. We are directly responsiblefor the nurturing and nourishing quality of our love, sex, food, rest,work and shelter, and how pleasurable and satisfying they are andwhether or not there are any toxicities or deficiencies involved.

Everything we do in these realms will directly support or detractfrom the mechanism of health. These needs are our centralregulators. It is only through their gratification that health can trulybe fulfilled. And yet we try to skip or bypass this fact andartificially produce health with pills, genetics, biochemicaladjustments, radiation, or even the removal of body parts. Thisphysiological approach to health is not only dealing after the fact,it is an evasion of our humanity.

The same goes for non-toxic "holistic" therapies and approaches.

They too can get you back to where you were before your illnessexpressed itself, albeit a lot more safely. But then the goal remainsthe same: survival, not health.

All these therapies are meaningless and nothing will fundamentallychange if they are not applied within the broader context of



changing the way we fulfill our basic human needs. And this is therealm in which our own self-responsibility is directly operative. Nodoctor or therapy can take charge of your life. It is only when youare divorced from this truth that health becomes a matter of chance

rather than choice.

Key to Health and Happiness

Being cornered by these facts may at first be startling. It leaves youface to face with the fact that the greater responsibility for your lifeis right smack in your own hands. It does not permit for anymysterious "other" to magically come down and rescue you.

But upon further reflection this should also be liberating. It meansthat you and you alone (with the support of the universe that is onyour side) have the total freedom to actively shape the outcome of any aspect of every one of your situations.

The simple desire to create a better life for yourself is, like thedesire for health, impossible to have without the simultaneous andfully operational capacity to actually do it. The key is to appreciatethat health and happiness are not something you get. They aresomething you generate. And you have both the freedom and theresponsibility to generate them.

Unmasking HIV

It is interesting that the individuals dealing with HIV and AIDSrelated fears and conditions are the central "defining elements" in

the "AIDS Crisis" and yet, outside of counting their T-cells andtaking toxic medications, both doctors and society at large ensurethat these people are totally divorced from any active participationwithin the crisis. No wonder they feel terrified and helpless!

The initial fear they feel has a very rational component to it. It is



being triggered by the deep intuition that they are in enemyterritory. Although dealing with people who they are supposed totrust, they are being told that life is not on their side, that there isno hope, and that they are helpless in the face of the fact. The fear

is assigned to a harmless retrovirus but it is, in fact, an intuitivered-alert that the situation they are faced with is a deadly threat totheir deepest humanity. This fear must be respected!

It is not a virus that can or will kill you, it is the HIV/AIDShypothesis and the kind and well-meaning proponents of it!Unknowingly or not, these people are the antithesis of health careproviders. Willingly or unwillingly they are the agents of, and

active participants within, a social system bent on enslavement.Hopelessness and helplessness are psychosocial functions, notretroviral ones. T-cells are the least of your problems. Its yourhumanity that's at stake.

II. Two Critical Consequences

When a derailed psychospiritual healing crisis is at hand, a simple

intellectual understanding of what is going on in the situation isuseless. Fear thats rooted in ignorance is lifted with knowledge.But when the fear is borne of preexisting and unresolvedpsychospiritual tensions, all the knowledge in the world won't setyou free. So how do you know the difference? Very simple.

When a person's innate participatory role in life has been seriouslycompromised, two crucial phenomena emerge which, expressedsocially, are also critical to understanding the broader societalcontext for AIDS. One is a crisis mentality where the goal is not tosolve the problem but to perpetuate the crisis. The other isscapegoating, where every-thing that is blamed for the crisis hasthe unique distinction of being completely outside the realm of one's own self-responsibility.



The latter, with its seed of truth, is the trigger for the former, andthe former, as a survival mechanism resulting from a derailedpsychospiritual healing crisis, periodically looks for a trigger tobring its unconscious and unresolved psychospiritually-based

tensions to a climactic head, offering some substitute sense of periodic and temporary relief.

The Crisis Mentality

Under healthy psychospiritual conditions, a child will solvecomplex tasks through gratification. He or she will experience acertain emotional intensity and excitement, a "charge" if you will,

and they will spontaneously gratify that tension by pleasurably"discharging" the task without any prompting or coercion. Inaddition to the satisfaction and self-confidence which result, therewill be an open welcome to the next situation, knowing that it toocan be pleasurably "discharged".

However, authoritarian societies, by their very nature, chronicallycompromise this innate capacity for self-regulation by cruellyisolating children from their pleasure-oriented impulses. The resultis that in adulthood, we tend to steer clear, unless forced to dootherwise, of virtually any person, task or difficult situation that weeither truly desire or find emotionally engaging, as the impulse togratify has become profoundly associated with fear. Approaches tosituations which would then otherwise be both rational andproductive become, instead, transformed into a crisis mentalitywhere the unconscious goal is not to gratify the situation but, infact, to create or perpetuate a crisis.

This is because the chronic compromise in self-regulation producesa split between meaningful activities and the substance whichmakes these activities emotionally meaningful. Genuinely excitingactivities are replaced with cheap titilation. And the emotionalcharge of doing what genuinely makes us happy is never resolved,



resulting in the internal build up of a lot of ungratified andunresolved tension.

Although emotionally "safe", this way of life is profoundly

dissatisfying, generating a great deal of emptiness, depression andresentment on the one hand and a great deal of unconscious hateand sadistic aggression on the other. Additionally, this emotionaltension, having had all outlets for its healthy expression barred off still seeks, indeed demands, a periodic sense of release!

Its in between this split that the crisis mentality appears. Itsfunction is to push these preexisting and unresolved tensions to a

head by endowing harmless and titilating scapegoats with a wealthof ungratified energy. We've all seen people get "worked up overnothing". This is the crisis mentality at work. The lack of profoundsatisfaction is so very deep and so very frustrating that the onlypractical option left is to find an excuse to work oneself up into afrenzy, frantically raising one's tension levels to a pitch wheresomething has got to finally break.

When, in the extreme cases, something does finally break, what

usually breaks is your heart, your mind, your body or your spirit.Each recurrent break will indeed produce some sense of substituterelief. But not only will it be temporary, it will always beaccompanied by destructive consequences, "side-effects", becausethe real issues are never being addressed. In AIDS, theconsequences are fatal.

The Trigger

Coincident with the crisis mentality, a compromise in one's abilityto respond to ungratified tension will produce a tendancy to blame.The spectrum of blame can range from endowing unmanageableinanimate objects with hostile intent (that damn stapler) to theworst forms of racism. In the Toxic Distress and Iatrogenic



Disease Syndrome* crisis, presently called the "AIDS" crisis, thescapegoat is HIV.

One of the hallmarks of a scapegoat is that whatever it is blamed

for has the unique distinction of being completely outside therealm of anybody's self-responsibility. So what is the function of the scapegoat? First of all, aside from the market benefits,assigning blame to and trying to treat something that no one canpossibly be responsible for ensures that, by evading the real issues,conditions for the crisis will stay exactly the same. Secondly, itserves as the perfect trigger for the crisis mentality because nothingcan be done to eliminate what's not there.

If the underlying tensions were directly addressed, triggers likeHIV would be unnecessary and the scapegoat scare simply wouldnot take hold. But to a preexisting crisis mentality looking to pushthe unbearable tensions to a head, a microbe, real or imagined, isvery enticing. One can become engaged in activities andappointments and medication protocols ad infinitum, getting atitilating sense of accomplishment without fundamentally changinganything.

But all the while there will be this inner sense of doom and gloomwhich is simply nature's way of telling you that you are notaddressing the real issues in your life. When you hit the nail on thehead, when the truth is identified, when you are engaged insomething that is genuinely making a difference for the better,there is an unmistakable excitement and satisfaction that goesalong with it. The universe is on your side. A genuine change is

occurring. Whatever it is that you are doing "works". It makessense, it feels good, and it is energizing. Let this be your guide! If you are not feeling this, you are not on the right track!

Once you recognize this to be the case, you can then just skip thevirus crap and go straight to the underlying issues. If, however, you



choose to go the viral route, you'll end up creating real problemsfor yourself and, having thus satisfied the goal of the crisismentality, the psychospiritual issues will be totally out of reach.You will now have real life and death issues to grapple with and,

except for the deep inner misery that'll be quietly lurking, you'll becompletely divorced from the real issues in your life.

The Bad Seed of Truth

To qualify as a successful trigger for the crisis mentality thescapegoat, whether person, place or thing, needs a seed of truth.That gives it its reality. Without a seed of truth, we'd all see right

through it regardless of our personal agendas. Once establishedthough, the seed is then blown up to a size and shape that matchesthe preexisting psychospiritual tensions.

The power of HIV is that its harmless seed of truth - the proteinsthat are not even unique to it - has been endowed with so muchmystery that, after absorbing countless contradictions andparadoxes, it still somehow seems reasonable. The genius of thisruse is that it permits a deep and highly personalized reality. In yetanother example of HIV self-hypnosis, it actively engages people'simaginations, every gap in logic being personally filled inaccording to the unconscious needs of each individual involved.

So how do you tell if what is attributed to the seed of truth is truth,half truth or untruth? How can you tell whether it can actuallycarry the responsibility ascribed to it, or if it is being used for otherpurposes, like to stoke a crisis and sell medications?

If the simple seed of truth is being used for anything other than thesimple seed of truth that it is, it will pass, in its descriptions andfunctions, from "simple" and "complex" to "simplistic" and"complicated". This is highlighted by a simple comparison.



Nature is simultaneously simple and complex. Its simplicityendows its complexity with truth and beauty. Its complexity isharmonious, nourishing, inspiring and generates a profound senseof pleasure, respect and appreciation.

Authoritarian societies on the other hand are simultaneouslysimplistic and complicated. And a simplistic approach to a genuinecrisis will always complicate things.

"Complicated" is a pale imitation of "complex", lacking itscohesion and internal consistency. It is chaotic, disruptive,disorienting, fragmenting, confusing, draining, immobilizing,

uninspiring, disempowering, and incites fear and rage. This is HIV."Simplistic" has the look of "simple", but lacks the substance,depth and reach. In these societies, answers to profound andcomplex questions are simplistic because they cannot carry thetruth that a more integrated reality has to offer. They would forcequestions that nobody wants to ask, let alone answer. This is AIDS.

With HIV we have been handed a crisis mentality trigger made to

order - emotionally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically,financially, politically, and psychospiritually. Its lack of substancewould be immediately recognized anywhere else and under anyother conditions. But here, the preexisting crisis mentality andscapegoating phenomena throughout our society provide amockery of the emotional energy and genuine excitement that realsubstance itself would normally excite. They thereby make thesimplistic attractive and the complicated reasonable.

AIDS is simplistic. HIV is complicated. HIV=AIDS=DEATH isboth simplistic and complicated. Prophylaxing is simplistic.Condoms are simplistic. Needle exchange is simplistic. TakingAZT is simplistic. Straight from the heart of authoritarian society,it all serves to keep us enslaved, frightened, submissive and



dependant. The idea that people are not being harmed by thecomplications of modern medicine is also simplistic. People aresimply being murdered.

Grit and Grace

But what if? "I know the tests are no good, but what if it turns outthat they actually mean something?! What if HIV actually doescause AIDS?! Why, even once Ôenlightened' to what's going on,do seeds of doubt continue to linger? I feel fine, but my T-cells arelow, so I better prophylax! For God's sakes I have to dosomething!!!"

Getting out of the AIDS Zone while wrestling with an out of control crisis mentality is extraordinarily difficult, if notimpossible, without two things. One is an active awareness andunderstanding of the nature and dynamics of the crisis mentalityitself. To this question we hope to have lent some insight.

The second, and sort of the bridge between the first andpsychospiritual health itself, is a combination of what we mightcall grit and grace. "Grit" is certainty in the self in uncertainsituations. "Grace" is recognizing that the situation requiresuncertainty. Both are a function of hope, in the psychospiritualsense of the word. Life is on your side, but not mechanically so. Itdemands an active and participatory self-responsibility withinwhich you have the freedom to generate your own health andhappiness.

Grit and grace cannot, of course, be adopted from the outside in.Any attempt to do so would serve to further stoke the crisismentality because you wouldn't get any results. However, simplyby identifying that grit and grace exist and appealing to yourintuitive awareness of them, we hope to reawaken some degree of your direct access to them.



Welcome your anxiety. It is at the heart of the psychospiritualhealing crisis. It is alerting you to the psychospiritual clues beinghanded directly to you. All you need do is ride with the emotionaltension of "not knowing" as an active participant, patiently

gathering and sifting through all of the clues. Then the tension willbe allowed to fully develop and consummate itself, and insight willbe the result.

Focusing on HIV however will completely subvert this process. Asthe prototypical evasion of the twenty-first century it willcompletely undermine any possibility for pyschospiritual health.

And so far as AIDS and physical health go, understand that its notthe issues that are being evaded that constitute the crisis, its thefact of the evasion itself. And its only when divorced from thiscontext that illness can render you hopeless and helpless. Probablythe most important factor in the healing process is the realizationthat a health challenge is not the enemy. It is instead thepsychospiritual teacher and life is a learning process.

III. Psychospiritual WarfareWithin authoritarian society one can find the most curious set of phenomena. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice,scientists destroy truth, psychiatrists destroy minds, schoolsdestroy education, textbooks destroy knowledge, politiciansdestroy democracies, governments destroy freedom, masses of people destroy self-responsibility, families destroy love, businessdestroys work, pornography destroys sex, and churches destroysouls.

On the surface this is nonsensical, but deep down we all know thatthere is far more than just a simple seed of truth. And armed withan understanding of the crisis mentality its truth becomesfrighteningly clear.



When a society's capacity for self-regulation is, as a whole,chronically damaged, it becomes survivalistic, exploitative and"authoritarian" with a destructive polarization between the "haves"and the "have nots". To maintain this sort of relationship it is

essential that everything done by both sides has the unspoken goalof derailing the inevitable psychospiritual healing crisis that wouldotherwise heal the split. It must be ensured that people remainisolated from their environment, their culture, their histories, theiremotions, their thoughts, even their physiology, as it all serves tocultivate the essential helplessness, hopelessness and dependancythat is critical to subverting psychospiritual health.

This is the context within which all of the above disciplines,institutions and industries have emerged. They all have to destroythe very thing they claim to protect or provide or produce.Whatever the task to be solved, an evasive solution must be foundwhich serves a two-fold goal. On the one hand it has to increasethe likelihood of finding or producing a trigger with which to justify pushing the unresolved and preexisting psychospiritualtensions to a head, and, on the other hand, it must be able to beapplied in such a way that it can also justify, with a seed of truth,the expression of the sadistic hate and aggression which have builtup around the lack of gratification of the self-same tension. This isnot to say that every doctor and lawyer goes to this extreme. Butmake no mistake, as long as they are acting within that system,they will get drawn into it to some degree or other because it is, byits very nature, designed to promote, protect and facilitate this sortof crisis mentality behavior. Forget love, freedom or self-responsibility. The system is there to help people survive and

celebrate within the Social AIDS Zone, not escape it.

An Intervening Step?

This is also the context within which both HIV and AIDS emerged.As the unconscious societal force at the heart of the AIDS and



other Zones, the crisis mentality will draw you in if you do notaddress the underlying issues which make you susceptible to it. Itsin this context that you must understand it to start to get out of it.

And this is why we say AIDS is a wake-up call and not a deathsentence. In the course of an individual's life, he or she frequentlyhas a psychospiritual healing crisis which, when pushed to a head,results in one of two things. Either the individual succombs, orthey reorganize on a higher and deeper level of development - they"find themselves".

The same is true of AIDS, but with one exciting difference. AIDS

is anchored in the social realm. With AIDS, the psycho-socio-spiri-tual healing crisis for society's "marginalized" people is beingviciously pushed to a head. It is a trigger for marginalizedindividuals, the primary customers for the deadly AIDS market, to"find themselves" in the social sphere before they find themselveshanging from a red ribbon.

Of course, they're looking to find themselves in a society that'sdesigned to keep them out! But if they play their cards right, they

can use AIDS as a springboard to trigger the wider socialreorganization thats been aching to happen for decades, reallycenturies. Society's non-marginalized people don't yet recognize itbut they too are participating within the same psychospiritualhealing crisis. They all seem to know that something is verywrong, but they have no concept of what it is. They just need atrigger.

There will, of course, be the usual efforts by "leaders" and otherarchitects of social policy to subvert any conscious attempt tofacilitate this natural and inevitable healing process. The marketingof AIDS is a perfect example. But our choice is to either movewith and actively facilitate this exciting social process, or tocontinue subverting it by focusing on HIV and other evasive



triggers in an endless parade of scapegoats.

All of the horrors of our society are symptoms of the fact that oursocial system is inconsistent with our nature as human beings.

Short of completely destroying the planet, the reorganization that'saching to happen will happen. The question is whether or not therewill be one more intervening step.

AIDS is the epitome of a corporate-based social enslavement benton psychospiritual warfare. To recognize it as such is a step in theright direction. If not, the mental, emotional and psychospiritualenslavement will have no where else to grow but into the physical

realm. We assure you, if the latter is the path of choice, beprepared. It'll culminate in some-thing far more ugly than AIDS.

Conclusion

We hope to have demonstrated to you that AIDS is not some newand exotic "always fatal" disease. Everything about it is completelyconsistent with the much larger and preexisting system of

exploitation and terror from which it emerged, a system built oncultivating dependancy, compliance, apathy and indifference.Every single element of AIDS matches the same exact pattern,even predictably so, of the broader corporate, market based, hateinspiring authoritarian social system, a system which depends uponemotional enslavement and sexual terrorism to perpetuate itself. Itis absolutely nothing new.

If seeing the fraud is not sufficient to get you out of the AIDS

Zone, you have got to ask yourself what role HIV and AIDS areplaying in your life. How are they being used to evade thesubstantial and unresolved internal issues which meanwhile supplythe energy for the crisis mentality?

And just because you know the antibody and T-cell tests are



exploitative and unscientific, do not pretend that you are homefree. One cannot live within an authoritarian society and remainuntouched by the hysteria. You must first acknowledge that thesetriggers are seductive, and then see where the broader exploration

takes you. Only by this or a similar process can you undermine theemotional potency of these tests and get to the real underlyingissues. Then the compulsion to take them will dry up tonothingness.

It is built into our very nature that at every moment one cannothelp but make an active choice: you either create a new life foryourself or you recreate and reinforce the old one. And all there is

is the moment. So its a choice you're making right now.We hope that by seeing AIDS as simply yet another, albeit morerefined weapon of the same old exploitative social system that youcan and will make new choices. Not only will it facilitate your exitfrom the AIDS Zone and help you to help others escape, but it'llhelp you better understand the nature and dynamics of authoritarian social systems in general and how they made AIDSnot only possible but inevitable, and even necessary.

HEAL is simple and complex. GMHC, APLA, Project Inform,ACT-UP and AMFAR are, in their approach to AIDS, simplisticand complicated. You can be sure they are destroying the verypeople they purport to help.

If you want us to continue, send a donation now. We cannotcontinue to operate HEAL for you without your financial support.
