Oral sex has overtaken smoking as the primary driver of throat cancer.
In a significant shift in oncology, the human papillomavirus (HPV) has replaced tobacco and alcohol as the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancer. This specific strain, most commonly HPV-16, targets the tonsils and the back of the throat, where it can persist and replicate. While the body clears most HPV infections, persistent cases can trigger cellular changes that evolve into malignancy over time. Currently, HPV is responsible for approximately 70% to 85% of all throat cancer diagnoses in several Western nations, marking a public health turning point.
Research indicates that the risk of contracting this cancer is directly linked to sexual history, as the virus is primarily transmitted through oral sex. Studies show that a higher number of lifetime sexual partners correlates with a greater risk of infection, with men being significantly more susceptible to oral HPV than women. Public health experts emphasize that HPV vaccination remains the most effective preventive measure, particularly when administered to young adults, alongside increased awareness of the risks associated with oral transmission.

In contemplation you simply sit and quietly sing HU or some other holy name of God, allowing the Voice of God to come into you, either as love or as Light or Sound.

When you have gained power over the fear of death, there is nothing that can hold you back in this life. Problems become stepping-stones, not obstacles that trip you.
You become like the revered masters of the sacred writings. They too once walked this earth like you and me, but they learned the laws of Spirit and how to apply them to solve their own problems.

What is the relationship of Soul to God? Soul is the essence of God. Soul is not God—It could never be God. We can never be one with God, although we can be one with Spirit.
—Harold Klemp
This is the whole purpose of Soul studying the teachings of ECK: to become a Coworker with God. To serve life out of love, because of gratitude for the gift of life.
