Five physicians signed the Declaration of Independence.
Most contemporary Americans are only likely to know about one of them – Benjamin Rush, the Father of American Psychiatry (God help us all).
The doc I’m interested in for this blog entry is Matthew Thornton of New Hampshire.
Dr. Thornton was appointed a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1776.
Unfortunately, he was unable to serve out his term because he was incapacitated.
He was inoculated for smallpox and had a severe reaction that left him partially blind for a few months.
Dr. Thornton included the following information in his resignation …
“Arrived at Philadelphia the 3rd of November. The 8th was inoculated for the Small Pox, and during our confinement had the honor to be attended by Dr. Cash, Dr. Surly, Dr. Critical Observer, Dr. Gay, and Dr. Experience, in the following order, viz:
“Between the hours of 10 and 11 A.M. Dr. Cash: ‘How is’t, Sir and Mad’m?’ and whatever our complaints were, his answer was: ‘All’s pretty,’ and vanished in a second. He was the operator, and for a few days visited us as above, then we saw no more of him till I paid his bill of $18.
“Dr. Surly came two or three times each day as a friend, viewed us through his glasses, and then, with a smiling grin, softly said: ‘What! No worse yet? This is but trifling to what you will feel before all is over!’
“Dr. Critical Observer, a young doctor who told me he would critically observe every stage of the Small Pox in us, to gain experience, came once in two or three days, and stayed about a minute each time.
“Dr. Gay, a young doctor that came as a friend two or three times every day, tripped round and sung a tune, and told us ‘all would end well.’
“Dr. Experience, a merchant who has had the Small Pox, visited us every day, and gave a much truer account of the Small Pox than all the doctors.”

atom what do you know about the black sun and it’s relation to the void/delta? to me they occur in the exact same realm of experience. i’ve only had two happenings but they had an intense black hole character and lasted briefly. as if i pinhole opened and just sucked all my energy (the gamma/alpha´.. type) leaving me with a purifying sort of nothing.
i’ve been pondering this in relation to chinas uprise. their persistent use of coal fuel and the fact that its basically carbon, mother nature should be able to sort that out unlike other types that offer no protection from all the novel frequencies humanity still copes with. peace

Seems like you’re bumping up against what Indian mentors call Bhanwar Gupha (the rotating cave).
It’s the beginning of the spiritual delta brain wave state, the next step beyond the theta brain wave state mystics write about.
