Dying And Loving It

The iv pole is another object to be included in this discussion, because it contains such a powerful manifestation and symbolic residual pertaining very specifically to a mmemory, although well deserving poignant recognition, equally desires to be "reinstated" in my teachings as a wondrous dictum in the annals of this dying author.As already well understood, the iv pole itself means so much more than a mere stand to hold the very "baggage" of my own personal life, but is equally experienced as a rather stoic and vigilant object, which is because fo the fact it is ever present in the lives of all of those physically ill, but the powerful fact of this same object remains there during the moment of life's varying forms of ending. This in itself, to me at least, deserves a tacit applause. Like the cross itself, which is alos Jesus Christ Himself, and vise versa, thsi iv pole has a manner of serving as a very powerfully significant reminder to all who see it, but redundantly, to those who literaly rely on it; these are the ones who eventualy gain an understanding of this fact it is always present, and regardless of the fact of suffering, and anything else the sufferer may endure. Because of it's very sense that this humble and ubiquitous "stand" carries necessary equipment around and is so often jarred around from place toplace, this is generally somthing people never catch a glimpse of, but again it is those people, these very special people, who, after a slow and gradual process of intellectualized reasoning, but often combined with spiritual transcendence, eventually emerge from this darkness of living Hell that so often is our very lives, as genuinely enlightenened human beings;
we terminally ill.
However concerning this iv pole, I can easily recall many various instances in my lifewhen in the hospital or at home, and I felt very much in touch with that inner child as I have always been, hence as to the redundant reason as to why I have been able to well remain so resilliant and willing to keep comming back for more.....
...."Now that I have acheived the sentence of earthly terminal illness, there are a few added things i would like to share with the reader....As said, to be terminally ill means there is no cure, or much tangible treatment. It can cause terrible pain of both the body and the mind. I wish that theere was some tangible ws the medical field would take a comprehensive approach to this poignant issue. We are left behind, but especially those as myself, such as I have state through my testimonies.....
.....In the unending definement of this book I honestly believe that people will find out soon enough what will happen to them when the moment of life's ending comes along. But it is also my duty as both a dying petient, and as a woman of religion, to tell othere who may not know, and to explain to the best of my ability the atrocities that actually occured in a place where most people go from far and near to seek medical treatment and refuge...."

About the Book
....In the unending definement of this book I honestly believe that people will find out soon enough what will happen to them when the moment of life's ending comes along, but it is my duty as both a dying patient, and as a woman of religion, to tell others who may not know, and to explain the best of my ability the atrocities that actually occured in this place.... ....Unlike most of the general masses I can hear many other pulses of life, but this all comes from knowing God and the child within as she absorbs the building tensions and rechannels that energy into a rightful and God-fearing direction, hence creating a fullfilling existence regardless if that same individual is hurting or is at peace....
About the Author
Lama Milkweed L. Augustine has written many wonderdul books and enlightening and informative books, which total to 13, about many different exploits, all done with a deeply spiritual twist. She was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts in 1966 in desperate poverty, and led a life of literal torturous atrocity and spent seven years in captivity as she was truthfully forbayed to enter the public school system because of blindness. Born with a veritable myriad of catastrophic medical defect, Miss Milkweed Augustine heartfully struggled to acheive what most take furiously for granted.
Miss Augustine became a humble representative of the Buddhist and Christian churches and faiths at a young age. Receiving two Degrees in religion; at the age of 28 in 1995 she received her Doctorate of Divinity in Buddhism, becomming a Lama, or priestess. In 2001 at the age of 34, she received her second Degree in Sacred Theology and Philosophy. She was twice recognized by the 14th Dalai Lama, Tienzen Gyatso, later she was figuratively and ceromoniously enthroned by the Dalai Lama at the age of 34 as Her Holiness; The Most Venerable Lama Rimpoche: Miss Milkweed L. Augustine. Her name was engraved on the "Wall of Hope" in Washington, DC, and on the "Wall of Tolerance" in Virginia within a major museum. Lama Milkweed was also twice asked to be a guest speaker at the "Smithsonian Institute."
She has dedicated half of her life to assisting cocndemned inmates as Miss Augustine interacted with many political icons who assisted her couragious battle, especially concerning the Crine Bill in her state of Massachusetts in 1991-'92 as the Governor wanted to renstate the death penalty. She published a book about her loving exploits.
Her Holiness is fighting her final battle that is presently waning to a halt. Amidst isolation and held in captivity, and was under a hidden totalitarian ruling, she lived a truly consecrated life in the comminity, while pouring endlessly over scripture and prayer. She writes in a manner no other religious leader and author had priorly done. Her book, "The Milkweed Prophesy; Epitaph of the Apocalypse" in 2006 is housed in the Holy Vatican, and won her a place on the nominss liist for the 'Pulitzer Prize" in 2008, as this asame book won her other awards, like the "Writers' Digest Award.'
Miss Augustine was also nominated for the "Conrad H. Hilton Humanitarian Award" for her work with the condemned and her loving aid of Tibet; she was only 36 years old. She studied mortuary sceiences and embalming and was a medical monk who studied herbology, and internal medicine. Miss Augustine is a famed artist and paints beautiful Thangkas, or sacred paintings, of Buddhist dieties, and paints equally beautiful and breathtaking murals for her beloved Holy Catholic church, as well as in Middleboro, which is the very church she immortalised in her book "The Milkweed Prophesy." [The front and back covers.] She is also a photographer and does memorable work.
Lama Milkweed Augustine is a gentle, but string woman of peace and she is well recognized as a pacifist leader in the Buddhist church and in the humanities. She is a preserver of thr past, as she was also a pinball champion of the world in 1983-1995....Milkweed was a legend in her own time, as she tirelessly advocated for pinball as she spent well over thirty years trying to save it, as she became well known for her ceaseless efforts to save this icon of our American popular "pinball" culture, and her personal life. She was once known as the "Saint of the Silver Ball," and the "Spawn of Pinball itself." She was silently responsible ofr helping to save our pinball pop culture into the next milennium, this gentle little 'hero" who often does the unthinkable to help others.
