TID BITS in the Ever Changing Field of Health Care

Have you ever wondered when researching a prospective job opportunity at a  nursing home whether there were lawsuits against them? And have you noticed there was no information about that? Well, there wasn't. Because people who put relatives in nursing homes signed contracts that would bind them to mediation and arbitration rather than be able to sue in a court of law or even file a law suit.  Therefore, there would not be any public record. 

That will change on November 1st. I encourage you to read the article below which explains the importance of having the ability to do that. I do have to add here that there will probably not be nefarious lawsuits initiated. One reason is that it is expensive another is that any self respecting judge will not accept lawsuits that have no merit. For a number of years I worked as a para legal and saw how court cases are initiated and handled.

SUBTLE EASE

Cognitive Ease could be a subtle taste of Samadhi. A vision, a realization of the dharma of every day things which in themselves are miracles. This release into ease removes obstacles created by our belief in our own thought fallacies. We cling to our beliefs and won't allow ourselves the whole picture. This bias stifles creativity when our thought processes are poisoned by too much shotgun thinking and not enough reasonable thinking and vice versa. Out of balance there seems no middle way for us. No matter what, to some, they will not listen to reason if it does not align with their beliefs. Those beliefs exist as distractions because they are considered expedient. They are easy to remember, categorize, repeat and adhere to. These adhesions are scar tissue that impede movement to balance. There is no ease of thought, movement, creativity, consciousness. We are anchored perhaps mired in thought processes with closed doors, or partially opened ones that we slam shut in fear, maybe we are ignorant and walk right past the door not listening or seeing that little sliver of light. We strain our sensations with garbage and overload our thoughts to believe fallacies are true. We suffer and create more suffering. Emotions created by this poverty drain the cognitive bank account. There is no ease and we are exhausted, tired by the fight we have inherited from the karmic thought fallacies.  We have destroyed the knowing of ease in every day life by accepting and promoting the lazy orientation to all things for the subtle nature of every day being.
