Operating System Corrupted

Okay, so I’m no more exempt than anyone else. I’ve spent the past four days under a cloud of a corrupted operating system in my computer. According to Dell, they receive 20-30 per DAY about just the same problem. What it eventually meant for me was a restoration of my computer to the day it was born.

Clean, clear, new operating system. No customization. No files, folders, music, pictures, nothing personal to me. A tech wizard added all that later, and I’m so grateful to be a person who backs up off-site every day. Nothing was lost, except four days. Or, is that really true?

What does it mean when a tool one uses intimately, daily, for real work malfunctions? Even more, loses its capacity to start, which is what happened with my computer? I couldn’t even use the Reboot Theory of Computers! When in doubt, reboot—it will fix itself.

Operating system, the words, struck a chord in me.

So did corrupt, the word.

Why?

Well, I might know and I might not know, but here’s a stab at it.

Earlier that week, I’d spoken to a remarkable energy healer, a woman who has developed her own form of core energy healing. It includes the ability to tune into when the body she’s scanning was last healthy as well as the ability to restore that same body to the time of good health. We’d made an appointment to talk on the phone on Friday.

Thursday morning, I got up as usual and my sweetie had already turned my computer on. Everything looked normal (as do I; no one looking at me would know that I have dealt with a chronic disease for 20 years). I double-clicked on Google Chrome, the browser I use because it makes gmail ten times faster. The click/whirrs began and then nothing happened.

I clicked off Chrome and tried Firefox; again an hourglass but no action. My IT wizard was coming at 2 so I whiled away the morning with a novel. It took quite a while but he came up with Corrupt Windows Directory as a diagnosis. He took the computer home with him to restore it. So far, so good. I expected a fully-functioning computer back on my desk by Friday.

Late that afternoon, he returned and tried a few more things. No dice. In the midst of this turmoil, I spoke to the healer for 90 minutes and had a powerful session with her.

As for the computer, it was down to me, all alone, on various trips to India to consult with Dell on Saturday. Fortunately for me, I had bought every single insurance I could for this computer so it cost me nothing monetarily. Timewise, it took 8 hours, from 11 to 7 to have a rudimentary computer back in my office.

Some time during the many hours I spoke to and waited for Dell, a glimmer of insight began to come to me about why this computer glitch had happened. It may not satisfy you but it did satisfy me.

My healer friend and I talked at length about the last time in my life I lived healthily without this disease. I was 30 at the time. She said several illuminating things to me, but one of them was … “I’m hearing that you were never meant to have this illness stay with you.” And, “There’s a structural realignment that’s necessary.” Do you see where I’m going?

My body’s operating system was compromised by allopathic medicine 20 years ago. Doctors, frightened by the turn of events, threw medicine at me rather than letting my body heal itself. I am working with this healer to undo what was done in error.

What she’d basically said to me is that my operating system was corrupted 20 years ago, and we had to restore to its original healthy pattern. I cannot tell you how much more patient with Dell that made me.
