 you are. Right now, look around you
and select beauty as your focus. This is so different from
habitually being alert for ways to feel hurt, angry, or offended. Expecting beauty helps you perceive the power of intention in
your life. 4. Meditate on appreciation. Cherish the energy that
you share with all living beings now and in the future, and
even those that have lived before you. Feel the surge of that life
force that allows you to think, sleep, move about, digest, and
even meditate. The power of intention responds to your
appreciation of it. The life force that’s in your body is key to
what you desire. As you appreciate your life force as
representative of the power of intention, a wave of
determination and knowing surges through you. The wisdom
of your soul as it responds to your meditation on appreciation
assumes command and knows every step that must be taken. 5. Banish doubt. When doubt is banished, abundance
flourishes and anything is possible. We all tend to use our
thoughts to create the world we choose. If you doubt your
ability to create the life you intend, then you’re refusing the
power of intention. Even when nothing seems to indicate that
you’re accomplishing what you desire in your life, refuse to
entertain doubt. Remember, the trolley strap of intention is
waiting for you to float up and be carried along. Shakespeare declared, “Our doubts are traitors, and
make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt. ”
And Ramana Maharshi observed, “Doubts arise because of an
absence of surrender. ”
You may well choose to doubt what others say to you
or what you experience with your senses, but banish doubt
when it comes to knowing that a universal force of intention
designed you and got you here. Don’t doubt your creation
from a field of energy that’s always available to you. In the following chapter, I offer what may seem to you to be unusual
methods for polishing the connecting link between you and this enthralling
energy field we’re calling intention. OceanofPDF. comCONNECTING
TO
INTENTION
“The law of floatation was not discovered by contemplating the sinking of
things, but by contemplating the floating of things which floated naturally,
and then intelligently asking why they did so. ”

— Thomas Troward
Examine this observation by the great mental-science practitioner of the
early 20th century, Thomas Troward. In the early days of shipbuilding,
ships were made of wood, and the reasoning was that wood floats in water
and iron sinks. Yet today, ships all over the world are built of iron. As
people began studying the law of flotation, it was discovered that anything
could float if it’s lighter than the mass of liquid it displaces. So today, we’re
able to make iron float by the very same law that makes it sink. Keep this
example in mind as you read and apply the contents of this chapter on
connecting to all that you’re intended to become. The key word here is contemplating, or what you’re placing your
thoughts on, as you begin utilizing the enormous potential and power ofintention. You must be able to connect to intention, and you can’t access
and work with intention if you’re contemplating the impossibility of being
able to intend and manifest. You can’t discover the law of co-creation if
you’re contemplating what’s missing. You can’t discover the power of
awakening if you’re contemplating things that are still asleep. The secret to
manifesting anything that you desire is your willingness and ability to
realign yourself so that your inner world is in harmony with the power of
intention. Every single modern advance that you see and take for granted
was created (and creating is what we’re doing here in this book) by
someone contemplating what they intended to manifest. The way to establish a relationship with Spirit and access the power of
this creating principle is to continuously contemplate yourself as being
surrounded by the conditions you wish to produce. I encourage you to
emphasize this idea by underlining the previous sentence both in this book
and in your mind. Dwell on the idea of a supreme infinite power producing
the results that you desire. This power is the creative power of the universe. It’s responsible for everything coming into focus. By trusting it to provide
the form and the conditions for its manifestation, you establish a
relationship to intention that allows you to be connected for as long as you
practice this kind of personal intent. The Wright brothers didn’t contemplate the staying on the ground of
things. Alexander Graham Bell didn’t contemplate the noncommunication
of things, Thomas Edison didn’t contemplate the darkness of things. In
order to float an idea into your reality, you must be willing to do a
somersault into the inconceivable and land on your feet, contemplating
what you want instead of what you don’t have. You’ll then start floating
your desires instead of sinking them. The law of manifestation is like the
law of flotation, and you must contemplate it working for you instead of
contemplating it not working. This is accomplished by establishing a strong
connecting link between you and the invisible, formless field of energy—
the power of intention. Entering into the Spirit of Intention
Whatever you intend to create in your life involves generating the same
life-giving quality that brings everything into existence. The spirit ofanything, the quality that allows it to come into the world of form, is true as
a general principle, so why not activate it within you. The power of
intention simply awaits your ability to make the connection. We’ve already established that intention isn’t a material substance with
measurable physical qualities. As an example of this, think of artists. Their
creations aren’t merely a function of the quality of the paint, brush, canvas,
or any other combination of materials they use. To understand and grasp the
creation of a masterpiece, we have to take into account the thoughts and
feelings of the artist. We must know and enter into the movement of the
creative mind of the artist in order to understand the creation process. The
artist creates something out of nothing. Without the thoughts and feelings of
the artist, there would be no art. It’s their particular creative mind in
contemplation that links to intention to give birth to what we call an artistic
creation. This is how the power of intention worked in creating you,
someone new, entirely unique, someone out of nothing. Reproducing this in
yourself means encountering the creative impulse and knowing that the
power of intention is reaching for the realization of all that it feels, and that
it is expressing itself as you. What you’re feeling is a function of how you’re thinking, what you’re
contemplating, and how your inner speech is being formulated. If you could
tap in to the feeling of the power of intention, you’d sense that it is ever-
increasing, and confident in itself because it’s a formative power so
infallible that it never misses its mark. It’s always increasing and creating. The forward movement of spirit is a given. The power of intention yearns
toward fuller expressions of life, just as the artist’s feelings pour out in a
fuller expression of his or her ideas and thoughts. Feelings are clues about
your destiny and potential, and they’re seeking the full expression of life
through you. How do you enter into the spirit of intention, which is all about feelings
expressing life. You can nurture it by your continual ongoing expectation of
the infallible spiritual law of increase being a part of your life. We saw it
through our imaginary capacity to see higher vibrations, and we heard it in
the voice given to it by spiritual masters throughout the ages. It’s
everywhere. It wants to express life. It’s pure love in action. It’s confident. And guess what. You are it, but you’ve forgotten. You need to simply trust
your ability to cheerfully rely upon Spirit to express itself through and for
you. Your task is to contemplate the energies of life, love, beauty, and
kindness. Every action that’s in harmony with this originating principle of
intention gives expression to your own power of intention. Your Will and Your Imagination
There’s no disputing the existence of your free will. You’re a being with a
mind capable of making choices. Indeed, you’re in a continuous state of
deliberate choice-making during your life. This isn’t about free will versus
predetermined destiny, but look carefully at how you’ve chosen to rely on
your ability to will yourself toward whatever you desire. Intention, in this
book, isn’t about having a strong desire and backing it up with a pit-bull
kind of determination. Having a strong will and being filled with resolve to
accomplish inner goals is asking ego to be the guiding force in your life. I
will do this thing, I will never be stupid, I will never give up. These are
admirable traits, but they won’t reconnect you to intention. Your willpower
is so much less effective than your imagination, which is your link to the
power of intention. Imagination is the movement of the universal mind
within you. Your imagination creates the inner picture that allows you to
participate in the act of creation. It’s the invisible connecting link to
manifesting your own destiny. Try to imagine willing yourself to do something that your imagination
doesn’t want you to do. Your will is the ego part of


 you are using. The troubleshooting is to help work through some common problems you may
encounter when making a recipe. General Safety
A lot of these recipes involve working around heat and with hot waxes and oils. Exercise common sense, and
always be careful and vigilant. Also keep in mind that just because something is natural, does not mean it is
completely safe! Always check with a medical professional when using home remedies, and be aware of any
allergies/conditions you have, or medications you are on. Because of the risk of botulism, do not give honey
in any form to any child under the age of 2 years. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not try anything
without first consulting your doctor. For that matter, regardless of who you are, always get professional advice. I would really rather we all stay healthy, safe, and happy. Essential Oils
One common theme you will notice throughout this book is the use of essential oils. If you are new to the
world of home remedies or natural living, you may be puzzled by these tiny little bottles that everybody makes
such a big deal out of. They may seem exotic, hard to come by, or not worth your time or money. To this I
say they are no more exotic or difficult to order than anything else on the internet, and they are worth the
investment. Y ou may not think you are getting much for the amount you spend, but these oils are powerful,
and only a few small drops will do quite a bit. The scent you breathe when you peel an orange or a smell a rose is the essence of the plant. When that
essence is removed, it becomes essential oil. Essential oils are highly aromatic substances found within certain
plants specialized cells or glands. Some plants have them, and some do not. They are highly concentrated
substances and only need to be used sparingly to get their therapeutic benefits. There are various extraction
methods in which essential oils are obtained depending on the plant, but all ultimately allow us to take the
wonderful aroma and benefit of the plant with us. I hope to write at least a basic guide sometime in the near future on the use of essential oils that goes a little
more in depth on the use of these incredible substances. 14Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comEssential Oil Safety
Essential oils are incredibly potent plant extracts. It takes about 50 rose flowers to create a single drop of
rose oil! Because of this, I always recommend dilution before using them topically. Essential oils must be
diluted in a carrier oil, such as olive or grapeseed oil, and cannot be diluted in water-water and oil does not
mix. Essential oils are attracted to lipids (fats) and if not mixed with carrier oil will sink straight into your skin,
and possibly cause irritation. If you are uncertain about how you will react to an essential oil, you can conduct a patch test. Make a 2%
dilution of your essential oil in carrier oil (10-12 drops in 2 TBLS of carrier oil) and rub a 1 inch patch on the
inside of your arm just below the crook of your elbow. Let it sit for 24 hours. If you start to experience any
sort of irritation, rinse with water immediately, and apply some plain carrier oil to the spot. Note that pregnant
women, children, and the elderly should not go above a 1% dilution (5-6 drops in 2 TBLS of carrier oil.) The
exception to this (for children) is the earache blend, which is at a 5% dilution. Essential oils should never be
used directly on children under age 5. Never keep undiluted essential oils in plastic containers, as they will eventually erode it. If you are using
plastic for diluted oils, try to use PET plastic, which is less prone to damage than regular plastic. There are
glass spray bottles-they are more environmentally friendly too! Cleaning Sense
Ph., or the measure of how acidic or alkaline something is, plays a huge role in cleaning. It is measured on a
scale of 1-14, with anything under 7 being considered acidic, and anything above being considered alkaline. Two common ingredients we use in cleaning are vinegar and baking soda; however they should not usually be
combined. Vinegar is an acid, baking soda is a base, and when mixed together they react and neutralize each
other. What is left over is mostly water. There are some exceptions when they are combined, such as drain
cleaning, where the bubbling and fizzing action is desired, in which case I do mix the two. Otherwise, you are
essentially rendering both useless. It’s hard to swallow when so many recipes call for them together (I made
the mistake many times in earlier days!) but I promise you will find more success if you leave them separate. Now when you combine baking soda and soap, which is also alkaline, you get an AWESOME cleaner. And if
you have any little soap scum build up? Just use that acidic vinegar to rinse it all away. Again, just because these products are more natural than most found in stores, doesn’t mean they don’t have
the ability to stain or discolor. Always test a small patch of the surface you plan on cleaning to make sure there
aren’t any problems.15Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comThe Double Boiler
Countless recipes here call for the use of a double boiler. If you don’t have one (I actually don’t) you can easily
make your own by placing a heat proof over a pot of water filled slightly less than halfway with water OR you
can use a glass measuring cup, such as a Pyrex, place in a pot of water. I find the latter useful when it comes
to pouring any sort of balm or salve into a small container. That Sounds Scary
There are several recipes that have names that sound intimidating, unnatural, and downright obscure. Below
I’ve listed the ones that intimidated me before I knew what they were and explained a little bit about them-
remember, you can always choose to opt out of their use if you feel uneasy. Citric Acid:  Citric acid is used in the bath fizzies, or bath bombs, recipe. It is what makes citrus fruits taste
sour-lemons, limes, grapefruits, oranges, etc. all have a high concentration of citric acid. Here it is simply
isolated from the fruit via a fermentation and filtering process. It is used as flavoring and as a preservative in
food, pharmaceuticals, and beverages. In the bath bombs, it is what gives them their characteristic fizziness. While it is only a weak acid, and considered quite safe to use, it can cause eye and lung irritation if you
mishandle it. I suggest not leaning directly over it (which I did the first time I opened a bag), wearing goggles if
you like, and you should be fine. Vegetable Glycerin:  Glycerin, or glycerol, is the backbone of lipids (fats) that can be separated into its isolated
viscous form and used for a wide range of reasons. Primarily it is used to provide lubrication, restore luster to
hair, attract moisture, and soften skin. Vegetable glycerin is used here in a remedy recipe for dry hair, as well
as dish soap, toothpaste, and laundry detergent. Regular glycerin I am not a fan of-it is based off of animal or
petroleum products, and is generally just kind of gross. Vegetable glycerin is extracted only from vegetable
fats, usually palm/coconut oil, and can be found in the health store. It more pleasant (and natural!) than its
“regular” cousin. It does not become rancid, rank, or ferment, and does not have the same side effects as
petroleum or animal product based glycerin can. Food grade glycerin means it is safe to ingest-this is used in
the toothpaste recipe. Castile Soap : Castile soap, both liquid and in bar form, is called for in recipes ranging from floor cleaner to
shampoo. It is true soap, whereas most “soaps” sold under the name are harsh enough to be detergents, and
contain no true soap at all. Castile soap originated in the Castile region of Spain centuries ago, and is a mild,
olive-oil based soap (versus an animal fat based soap) that is more environmentally friendly and gentler on
our bodies. Epsom Salt:  Like castile soap, Epsom salt was named for the geographical location it originated from-in this
case, a saline spring by the town of Epsom in Surrey, England. It is rich in magnesium and other minerals,
and is generally obtained directly from natural sources. It is used for numerous recipes throughout the book,
forming the body of bathing salts and scrubs, and relieving muscle aches and tension. Castor Oil:  Castor oil is a vegetable oil derived from the castor plant. It is recognized as a generally safe
product to use from treating constipation to split ends. The castor seed that is derived from contains a toxic
protein called ricin; however, during the heating that takes place in the extraction process, this protein is
denatured and inactivated. Because it can help with inflammation, it is used in a remedy for carpal tunnel. It is
also used as a remedy for common warts. Borax:  I think a whole other book on borax could be written, so great is the debate and confusion surrounding
it, but I’ll do my


the lung parenchyma. These changes were seen radio
graphicaU y as diffuse haziness and focal patchy radio·
pacities around the "tumour" in the parenchyma of
the radiolucent zone (Fig. XI: 4). The animal was then allowed to live for two more
weeks for further studies. At fluoroscopy the "tu·
mour" was seen oscillating with a frequency of about
100/min due to the transmission of cardiovascular
movements. Also respiratory movements required
some kind of control in order to avoid radiographic
motion blur, whlch threatened to jeopardize the analy
~ of the pulmonary structures. Motion blur in the radiographs was therefore con
trolled by means of intravenous injections of acetyl
choline. A single dose of 0.25 mg/kg body weight
produced respiratory and cardiac standstill for 4 to 12
seconds, followed by spontaneous recovery (I, 2). Fig. XI: 5 shows an ecg tracing of cardiac arrest induced for
6 seconds after t.he intravenou s injection of 10 mg of
acetylcholine in the dog 14 days after the experiment

the period of time during which radiographic exposure
avoided motion blur. In certain projections (Fig XI: 7 a, b) some coarse
radiating structures could also be seen of the local
haemorrhage in the lung tissue produced during the
recordings of potential two weeks previously. Some of
these coarse structures can be seen extending from the
"tumour" in a superolateral direction toward the pleu
ra. Figs. d and e show the actual orientation of the
"tumour" and c the similar movements of semolina
grains in the preceding in vitro experiment. Subsequent desanguination and necropsy of the dog
showed a local pleural adhesion corresponding to the
thoracotomy wound. No pleural or parenchymatous
changes were seen corresponding to the uAu zone, as
seen radiographically in vivo. After the lungs and the
adherent pan of the chest wall were removed, focal
increased opacities, corresponding to the sites of the
bleeding, were seen in radiographs of the slightly in·
flated lung parenchyma (Fig. XI: 8). No structural
arrangements of the type seen in the radiograph s in
vivo could be found. Histologic examination of the
lung revealed only some irregular infiltrations of blood
in the lung parenchyma. B. Discussion
The aluminium "tumour " in the animal experiment
was painted with shellac in order to prevent any possi·
ble development of corrosive electric currents between
the metal and the surrounding tissue. The metal
itself, efficiently shielding the intemal nucleus, would
furthermore be expected to induce only a very weak,
static, dipole·induced electric field on the external
surface of the shellac. Electrostatic field effects around
the tumour can therefore be expected to produce only
minimal effects on the surrounding tissue very clo.o;e tO Fig. XI: 7. (a, b) Coarse

electric circuit (Chapte.r X), only concentration forces
among small particles, e.g., somolina grains, can pro
duce corona structures ("A" and "B" ;:ones, arches
and arcades, and even to some extent radiating struc
tures). The hydroponic "A" and hydropic "B" zones
caused by water displacement, however, cannot be
produced simply by concentration forces.. A closed
electric cU"cuit, as in the case of dectroosmotic water
transport (Chapter X), is a nocessary requirement. A closed electric circuit should also be necessary for
the development of radiating structures extending two
to three em into a tissue matrix. The blood corpuscles
outside the artificial "tumour" presented radiating
structures, oriented against the utumour".<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

Q: What is the main difference in the behavior of the semolina grains in the presence of a charged body and in the absence of a metal ball?,
A: The grains move towards the charged body in the former case, but not in the latter.
Q: What is the significance of the experiment with the artificial "tumour" in the dog lung?,
A: The experiment demonstrates the development of "A" and "B" zones, arches, and arcades around the "tumour", which is similar to the radiographically observed modifications of structure around a malignant tumour.
Q: What is the purpose of the artificial "tumour" in the experiment?,
A: To study the role of concentration forces in the development of structural patterns around a "tumour" without the influence of an external electric field.
Q: What is the difference in the behavior of the corpuscles in the presence of a metal surface and in the absence of a metal ball?,
A: The corpuscles are attracted to the metal surface, whereas they are not in the absence of a metal ball.
Q: What is the main purpose of the experiment with the artificial "tumour" in the dog lung?,
A: To demonstrate the role of molecular and


ization of tissue in DC treatment is induced from
the inside of a tumour. It is therefore far more selec
tive than tissue ionization by external radiation. DC
treatment should therefore make it possible to keep
the total ionizing dose relatively low. More<>ver, in
radiation therapy the ionization is "mixed", i. e., non
selective, while DC treatment selectively produces an
ions and cations and transports them in the electric
field. The photon energy in radiation therapy must be
h. igh enough to allow removal of electrons from their
orbits for a sufficiently long time to prevent them from
falling back into their orbits. DC and external radi
ation treatment s might therefore be advantageously
combined in the future, leading to a mutual and spe
cific enhancement of the beneficial effects of each. The observation time of the DC treatments of the
cancers here reported is still relatively short, i.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the primary mechanism by which tumour cells are attracted to the anode?,
A: Tumour cells are attracted to the anode due to their excess of fixed electronegative charges on their surfaces.
Q: What is the potential benefit of placing the anode in the tumour?,
A: The anode attracts tumour cells, which can lead to the accumulation of leukocytes, potentially enhancing the healing process.
Q: What is the difference in the way radiation therapy and DC treatment ionize tissue?,
A: Radiation therapy ionizes tissue externally, while DC treatment ionizes tissue from the inside, making it a more selective and potentially more effective method.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the role of BCEC systems in the healing process?,
A: The author suggests that BCEC systems play a crucial role in the healing process, as they can deliver energy to the injured tissue, leading to the activation of biologic reactions.
Q: What is the limitation of the current treatment technique?,
A: The treatment should be limited to tumours that are peripherally situated in the lung and less than 3 cm in diameter.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>The currents will also di
rectly interfere with cellular metabolism and modify
structural elements of cells. Damage to structures,
e.g., the DNA molecule, is evidently one possible
effect of such modifications. Cells subjected to the
conditions described can be expected to show variable
abilities to survive and 10 adapt themselves to the new
living conditions. Thereby a variety of possibilities
should occur for the evolution of normal and patho
logical populations of cells. A continuous selection of
viable, reproducible cells, capable of adapting to envi
ronmental factors, which are slowly changing over
long time periods, might lead to the development of
normal biological tissues. An endogenous activation of
BCEC systems in this way should evidently represent
· an important biogenetic function. The underlying
mechanism can, however, also be anticipated to pro
duce a variety of less viable and adaptable cells. Some
of these cells may survive, leading to the development
of benign or malignant rumours. In this vinu the devel
opment of neoplastic tissue may depend on the same bio
logic mechanism as the development of n()Tma/ tissue. A large variety of chemical, physical and biological
factors can induce cancer. This capability is not sur
prising. Many chemicals should have the capability to
activate BCEC systems with different magnitud es of
energies, either primarily by their own electro{phy
sico-)chemical potentials or secondarily over a chronic
injury polarization. It is therefore possible to under
stand thatBCEC systems rm<kr certain circumsumces may
funcJion as a common mechanism in carcinogenesis. F. Morphog enetic capacity of
BCEC systems
Formation of membranes and organ capsules
The morphogenetic capacicy of BCEC systems should also be discussed briefly with regard to the development
of mnnbranes and organ capsules. The proposed mecha
nism anticipates that "fibrotic" material deposits on
the surfaces of many organs, e.g., liver and kidney, as
a result of their physicochemical polarization in rela
tion to surrounding structures, such as the abdominal
wall. In fact, cations and ·anions may deposit intermit
tently on their surfaces as a function of normal ionic
ebb and flow. An electric analogue to deposition of mate
rial at the surfaces of electrodes then pertains. The tis·
sues of the intraabdominal organs and the abdominal
wall include the function of electrodes, the peritoneal
fluid acts as the electrolyte, and the vessels to the
organs act as insulated cables connecting the electrodes
(Fig. XII: 20). Inside an organ, functional subunits
must also polarize against each other. They, too, there
fore must possess structural interfaces. For instance,
the normal existence of fasciae between muscle bun·
dies, basement mnnbranes or fibrous septa inside an
organ in this view may indicate the presence of differ
ences in time of activities or differences of function of
adjacent tissues. The apposition of material between
two adjoining tissues, e.g., two muscles, should con
tinue until their internal current ceases (during mor
phogenesis ), as is encountered in deposition of polar
ization products on the surfaces of ordinary electrodes. The fibrous sheaths around the muscles will then serve
as electrically insulating media. The insulating capac
ity of the fibrous sheaths will balance exactly the
physiologic demand potentials of the muscles. These
considerations are examples of the suggested capability
of BCEC systems to contribute to normal structural
development. Furt.her logical consequences can be inferred from
acceptance of the principle of BCEC systems. G. Physiological capacity
of BCEC systems
Physwlogical effects of BCEC systems can be predict·
ed to exist. Thus, any closed electric circuit is not only
capable of transporting charges. Various functional
effects may take place by release or transformation of
energy. Such reactions may occu.r at sites of change of
density of current or as influences by triggering of
"local" reactions. With this background it may be
appropriate to give an example of the anticipated
structure and function of a BCEC which contains duc
tal conducting branches. In Fig. XVIII: Sa we have
positioned two electrodes of metal in rubber bags,
which are connected by a vessel containing a valve. One bag is filled with an acid, the other with a base. When the valve is open a current will, of course, flow
through the circuit. The bulb may light, representing

base, the other acid. Valves are also included in the
ductal part of tbe circuit, which is completed by vascu
lar branches to the two organs. When the valves open,
iortic transports will be induced in this closed circuit,
which may give rise either to undesired or beneficial
physiologic effects. Thus, after neurogenic triggering
of acid production in organ I, an operting of valves I
and II could induce functional activities in organ II
over this vascular-ductal closed electric circuit. H. Acupuncture
The peculiar old Chinese method of acupuncture may
also relate to the BCEC principle. The author's ac
quaintance with this method of healing by percutan
eous insertions of ftne ·needles is mainly limited to
information from periodicals and other literature ( 48,
59, 90). Recent reports by scientifically trained, west·
em physicians support the idea that acupuncture can
not simply be dismissed as psychological hocus-pocus. Dcncficial effects arc reponed in many disorder$, ina

from  your  Call  up to the Presence,  which  forms  the Tube
of Light  and  establishes  It about  you  as definitely  as a wall
of steel. Remember,  That  Light  which  comes  from  your  Presence

thing  in human  form  came  forth  or ever  will  come. Your 162 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
experience  in human  forms,  is but  your  Life  clothed  in
the more  condensed  discord  of human  feeling;  thru  which
That  Mighty  Light  and  Energy  is trying  to expand  Per-
fection. Remember,  the  greater  density,  is caused  by the
discord  which  has  generated  in your  feelings. Discord  is
the only  thing  which  makes  density  of form. Once  you  free  yourselves  and  your  feeling  world,  which
is as far as your  hands  extend  around  you—sometimes
farther—from  every  discord  and  hold  your  world  Har-
monious;  you  wil1  find  the Powers  of the Presence  flowing
thru;  and  Perfection  will  reign  in your  world. Then,  the
Limitless  Presence  and  Supply  of everything  you  need  for
your  use,  will  come  forth  with  the ease  of breathing. It is
the Natural  Law  of your  Being. You,  thru  discord  have  closed  the door,  by giving  power
to the  appearance  world;  which  has  not  one  ounce  of
power,  so far as you  or your  world  are concerned,  except
what  is given  it. How  do you  do it. By your  attention
upon  the appearance  of limitations,  which  feeds  your  Life
into it, to come  back  and  limit  you. Without  your  energy  it
could  not  touch  your  world;  because  it has  to come  into
your  world  by your  Stream  of Life  and  Energy,  which  goes
out thru  the Power  of your  attention. Beloved  Ones,  remember,  you  have  three  faculties  within
your  Being,  each  one of which  is All-powerful. Your  Atten-
tion;  your  Visualization,  which  is your  physical  eye-sight;
and your  Power  of Qualification. That  which  is invisible
to you,  is the thing  which  plays  the greatest  havoc  in your DISCOURSE  VIII  163
world,  and  it is your  power  of qualification;  because  every-
thing  which  comes  into  your  world,  must  come  THRU
YOU  into  your  world  of activity. If your  feeling  is discor-
dant,  then  it will  carry  whatever  that  discord  is, into  your
world  and  produce  of its kind. These  are things  which  mankind  has not understood  and
the people  have  gone  on, and  on and  on, feeding  discord
thru  their  feeling. All the time  their  discord  was  being  car-
ried thru  this  Mighty  Current  of Energy  out  into  their
worlds;  producing  discord,  chaos,  limitation  and  failure. I tell you,  Dear  Ones,  no person  on the face  of this  Earth,
who  once  becomes  aware  of the "I AM  Presence,"  which
beats  each  Heart;  who  will  give  It sincere,  earnest  atten-
tion and  call  Its Powers  into  action,  will  ever  find  himself
or herself  in need  of anything. Individuals  will  have  Omni-
present  in their  worlds  for use,  everything  their  Hearts  de-
sire, and  there  is no exception  to It. The feeling  world  of mankind,  must  be kept  Harmoni-
ous, so it no longer  clothes  with  discord,  this  Energy  which
flows  from  the Presence  and  goes  out into  the World. That
Powerful  Energy  will  go out into  your  world  and  produce
Harmony  and  Perfection  everywhere. Then,  every  one who
touches  your  world,  will  have  the use of everything  which
is required. The human  limitation  within  mankind,  has  made  the
people  feel—because  they  have  forgotten  the "I AM  Pres-
ence"—that  all is here  within  the human  form;  and  its au-
thority  is the intellect. The  people  have  felt it is what  the 164 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Individual  sees  out here,  from  which  they  must  gather  their
power  of achievement. Behold  the Chart. When  so-called
death  ensues,  observe  the form  which  was  active  a moment
before. It no longer  has Power,  Intelligence  nor  Action. Then,  what  happened. Where  was  That  Energy. Where
was That  Activity. Where  was  That  Power,  by which  the
human  form  acted  a few  moments  before. Within  the
Stream  of Energy  which  comes  from  the Heart  of God,
your  "I AM  Presence". Remember,  Dear  Hearts,  That  Stream  of Light  and  En-
ergy  is not just a Principle;  but It holds  within  It the Intel-
ligence,  the Power,  the Action  which  every  human  Being
is using  and  requires  in order  to have  action. Then  know-
ing that,  how  can  any  human  Being  in the outer  world,
claim  Power  unto  its intellect  of itself. It has been  the mis-
take of all mankind. Thru  intellectual  attainment  in all
outer  activities  of Life;  law,  medicine,  music,  where  the In-
dividual  thru  practice  and  application  of the outer,  has at-
tained  a certain  degree  of mastery,  it has claimed  the Power
in those  particular  streams  of activity,  according  to their  un-
derstanding  at the time. While  their  attention  was  on the outer  things  and  the
desire  was  acting,  It was  the Power,  Intelligence  and  Ac-
tivity  of the Presence,  which  gave  them  whatever  achieve-
ment  they  had. When  the people  understand  this and know
everything  comes  from  the "I AM  Presence"  which  gives
them  Life;  they  will  place  the Power  where  It belongs. They
will be enabled  to draw  This  Power  forth  in a Tremen-DISCOURSE  VIII  165
dously  Greater  Volume;  and  sweep  out of their  worlds,
every  limiting  discordant  thing,  which  ever  had been  drawn
there—even  though  the Individual  physically  were  respon-
sible  for it. When  one understands,  how  to call on the Law  of For-
giveness,  for all mistakes  which  have  ever  been  made,  it is
One of the Greatest  Things  any Individual  can do. Then,
you prove  to the Presence  you want  to be set Right;  you are
not claiming  Powers  which  do not belong  to your  physical
body;  because  all comes  from  your  Presence. When  you call
to your  "I AM  Presence,"  acknowledging  It as the Only
Power,  you will be able  to release  into  your  world  of activity
—from  your  Life  Stream,  This  Great  Power  and  Energy
which  is without  limit,  exactly  as We are able  to wield  It
today. Think  of those  Precious  Children—Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and
Pearl,  whom  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  to Me in
India  at Chananda's  Home. There  in the Cave  of Blazing
Light,  they  were  set Free  forever. Today,  think  of it, Be-
loved  Ones. Those  Children  made  that  long  journey  there
physically. Today,  I have  come  to you. Does  It mean  any-

 each condition
include numbered exercises that you will find in the previous section. If you have any of the conditions listed here, I recommend that you
spend some time reading the relevant chapters to find out more about the
way dysfunctio nal breathing and breathing exercises impact your
symptoms. (Also, consult your qualified medical practitioners.) Topics cover ed her e are:
• Asthma and respiratory issues, including post-COVID-19 care
• Activities based on BOL T score
• Hormone fluctuations in women (PMS, pregnancy, and menopause)
• Diabetes
• Epilepsy
• Heart rate variability
• Sleep disorders (sleep apnea, snoring, and insomnia)
• Panic disorder, anxiety, and a racing mind
• Detoxification
ASTHMA AND RESPIRA TORY ISSUES (INCLUDING POST -
COVID CARE)
Over the past 18 years, I have seen many people with asthma experience a
50% reduction in their asthma symptoms within two weeks of attending my
workshops and applying the exercises. More recently, people have reported
significant improvements to breathing control post-Covid. The benefits of
functional breathing for asthma and post-Covid include a significant
reduction in symptoms such as:
• Nasal congestion• Coughing
• Wheezing
• Breathlessness
• Colds
Symptoms will noticeably lesse n each time the BOL T score improves by
five seconds. Daily Practice
Nasal breathing during wakefulness slows and deepens the breath. This may
help maintain the strength and function of the breathing muscles  and reduce
breathlessness. Nasal breathing also harnesses a gas called nitric oxide,
which is produced in the nasal cavity. Nitric oxide has antiviral and
antibacterial qualities, so it protects against infection. Regardless of your current BOL T score, you should breathe only
through your nose during rest, physical exercise, and sleep. Alongside your
practice of full-time nasal breathing, follow the program suitable for your
BOL T. As your BOL T score improves, progress to the next level. BOLT Score of Less Than 10 Seconds
Nasal breathe during rest, exercise, and sleep. Practice Breathing Recovery, Sitting  (exercise #12) for 10 minutes every
hour. OR
Practice Breathing Recovery, Walking  (exercise #13) following the
instructions below. Directions:• In a standing position, make sure you have space to walk freely. • Exhale gently through your nose. • Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold your breath. • Walk for 5 to 10 paces while holding your breath. T ake small paces, not great big
strides. The aim is not to see how far you can walk. • Release your nose and breathe in through it. • Rest for 30 to 60 seconds. • When breathing is comfortable, repeat. • Practice 5 to 10 repetitions two times per hour during the day. BOLT Score Between 10 and 15 Seconds
• Nasal breathe during rest, exercise, and sleep. • Practice Breathing Recovery, Sitting  (exercise #12) for 10 minutes, two times per
day (and if you experience symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, or chest
tightness). • Or Breathing Recovery, Walking  (exercise #13) as described above. Complete five
repetitions of this exercise three times per day. • Breathe Light  (exercise #1) for 10 minutes, three times daily. • Breathe Slow and Deep While W alking  (exercise #6) for 10 minutes, daily. BOLT Score Greater Than 15 Seconds
• Nasal breathe during rest, exercise, and sleep. • Practise breath holds after an exhalation during your warm-up for 10 to 15 minutes
prior to physical exercise. (If you are pregnant or have a serious medical condition,
please don’t practice breath holding. Follow the guidelines below.) To help
decongest the nose, open the airways and improve oxygen delivery to the brain,
exhale and hold the breath to create a medium air hunger (a tolerable feeling that
you would like to breathe more air). Then resume breathing in and out through your
nose during continuous movement. Repeat a breath hold after an exhalation five
times during the warm-up. • Breathe Light  (exercise #1) for 10 minutes, three times per day. • Breathe Slow and Deep While W alking  (exercise #6) for 10 minutes, daily. If you have symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, or chest tightness,
return to the first two exercises and practice the small breath holds in
Breathing Recovery, Sitting (exer cise #12)  for 10 minutes every hour. OR
• Practice Breathing Recovery, Walking  (exercise #13) for 5 to 10 repetitions two times
per hour during the day. BREA THING FOR FEMALESThere is a strong connection between respiratory chemistry and cyclical
fluctuations in sex hormones. This means that, if you are female, the way
you breathe is strongly affected by the way your hormone levels change
during your monthly menstrual cycle. After menopau se, these changes are no longer present, but post-
menopausal women can be more vulnerable to respiratory illness and
infection, and to osteoporosis, which is connected to breathing
biochemistry. Breathing exerc ises are beneficial in moderating these changes and can
help:
• Reduce pain, especially cyclical pain exacerbations in chronic pain conditions like
fibromyalgia
• Alleviate symptoms of PMS
• Improve autonomic balance
• Reduce hot flashes
• Better regulate mood
• Improve sexual functio
• Reduce headaches and menstrual migraines
• Support bone mineral density
As your BOL T score increas es, you will experience less cyclical
hyperventilation—and a reduction in associated symptoms. You can also
use the exercises to ease your body’ s transition through menopause as the
relationship between sex hormones and the breath changes. Daily Practice
• Make sure you breathe only through your nose during rest, physical exercise, and
sleep. • Track your BOL T score during your monthly cycle. This will give you clues as to how
(and why) your breathing is changing. • Is your BOL T score lower during days 10 to 22 of your monthly cycle (between
ovulation and menstruation)? This may indicate breathing pattern changes due to
hormonal fluctuations, most notably, an increase in progesterone which is a
respiratory stimulant. • Work to improve your BOL T score to above 25 seconds. If your BOL T score is less than 15 seconds, or you experienc e a fear
reaction to the feeling of air hunger, then practice both of the following:
• Breathing Recovery, Sitting  (exercise #12 or #16) for 10 minutes, four times daily.• Breathe Light  (exercise #1) for 15 to 30 seconds, followed by a rest of 1 minute. Practice this for 10 minutes, three times per day. If your BOL T scor e is gr eater than 15 seconds, practice:
• Breathe Light  (exercise #1) to create air hunger for 10 minutes, four times daily. • Breathe Slow and Deep While W alking  (exercise #6) for 10 minutes, once per day. After Menopause
Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of sleep disorders, including
obstructive sleep apnea. To maintain lung health, support breathing
biochemistry (which is essential for healthy bone mineral density), and
reduce risk of respiratory infection and sleep disorders, make sure to
breathe only through your nose during rest, physical exercise, and sleep. Practice the following exercises  every day to improve your BOL T score
and support general health and resilience:
• Breathe Light  (exercise #1) for 10 minutes, two times daily. • Breathe Slow  (exercise #3) for 10 minutes, two times daily. • Breathe Deep  (exercise #2) for 10 minutes, two times daily. • Physical exercise with mouth closed. During Pregnancy
Functional breathing can help with abdominal muscle strength,
hyperventilation, and anxiety, and even support you during labor. As your
baby grows, you will discover breathing is not always so easy. Hormonally
mediated change s occur in breathing early on in pregnancy, and it’s normal
for pregnant women to hyperventilate. Breathing exercises are beneficial during pregnancy. As your pregnancy
progresses, your body needs more oxygen to function, and your baby needs
oxygen too. By preventing hype rventilation, you will lessen feelings of pain
in your muscles and joints. Pregnancy can cause anxiety, and slow
breathing is a great way to destress. Sleep apnea is a risk factor for
expectant mothers, so it is worth paying attention to how you breathe during
sleep. Most pregnant women are anxious about labor, but if you develop a
regular breathing practice, labor will be less traumatic for you and your
baby, both in terms of pain and oxygen desaturation. Breathin g exerciseshelp you learn to stay present, meaning you will feel more in control during
your pregnancy and your labor. You will also be better able to recover after
the birth. First T rimester
During your first trimester, do not practice any reduced breathing exercises. Instead, work to prevent hyperventilation with the following steps:
• Avoid overeating,
• Avoid overheated environments,


chronic obstructive pulm onary disorder) is a condition in which
patients have ongoing hypercap nia and hypoxia due to impair ed lung gas
exchange. It causes dysfunctio nal muscles that are easily fatigued, have
reduced strength and endurance, and a tendency to atrophy.73 COPD has
traditionally been thought of primarily as a disorder af fecting older men, but
recent years have seen an increase of incidence and a significant rise in
mortality in women.74 This is thought to be, at least in part, due to smoking. While the number of smokers is decreasing across North America and
Europe, more women than ever are smoking in developing countries where
the health risks are less known. For instance, a 2009 study found that only
38% of smokers  in China knew that smoking could cause heart disease,75
and even  in developed countries, there is a degree of ignorance. Women are
also more likely  to be exposed to passive smoking than men, they develop
COPD with less smoking history than men, and their decline in lung
function is faster.11 It is interesting  that the resilie nce shown by females
against maternal smoking compared to males reverses in adulthood. COPD is an umbrella term rather than a specific disease. There are
differences in the way it manif ests in women. Emphysema, a debilitating
“end state” of COPD, in which the alveoli become damaged and the patient
requires constant oxygen, is more common in men. Women tend to display
more reactive airways—irritation, inflammation, and infection—and more
pronounced narrowing of the airways11. Long-t erm oxygen therapy is more
effective in women, and women  have a much greater improvem ent in lung
function once they stop smoking. Estrogen is involved in maintaining cell
structures and in the elasticity of the lungs that keeps the airways open.76
Cigarette smoke  has an antiestrogen effect,77 and this may contribute to
impaired lung function in women who smoke or inhale secondhand
smoke.76,78
In 2019,  a study investigated whether female sex hormones contribute
to COPD.79 Researchers found that women who had used oral
contraceptives were less likely to be hospitalized or to die with COPD.However, women who had started their periods later than 15 years old and
those who experienced early menopause were more at risk. Early onset of
puberty, which is a risk factor for asthma,63 had an impact on lung function
(how well the lungs work) but not on COPD. Women with a history of
polycystic ovary  syndrome (PCOS), ovarian cysts, HRT use, and surgery to
remove the ovaries and/or fallop ian tubes were all at higher risk of COPD,
although their lung function was likely to be better. This corresponds with
the finding that women were less susceptible to emphysema  than men. Remember, COPD is an umbrella term, and symptoms can affect breathing
to a greater or lesser extent. Scientists concluded that a variety of aspects of
reproductive health throughout a woman’ s life can contribute  to COPD-
related hospitalization and death  or to lung health. More work is needed to
understand the complex links between COPD and sex hormones in terms of
HRT,11,79 ovarian cysts, PCOS, and hysterectomy. According to a 2018 clinical review, lung cancer mortality is increasing
in women but not men. The number of women who die each year from lung
cancer is greater than the combin ed female mortality rate for breast, uterine,
and ovarian cancer.11 A woman who doesn’ t smoke is three times more
likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer than a nonsmoking man, indicating
a possib le hormonal influence. However, women have a better prognosis, in
terms of chemotherapy and surgical response, and a higher five-year
survival rate. Pulmonary hypertension—high blood pressure in the blood vessels that
supply the lungs—is more common in women and occurs around 10 years
earlier in women than in men. Again, more research is needed to understand
the role of the sex hormones, and to discover if and how estrog en increases
female susceptibility to lung disorders.11
While there are differences between women and men across many
respiratory conditions, it is still largely unknown whether these disparities
are behavioral, social, environm ental, or biological. To date, most research
has simply conc luded that more work is needed to ascertain the role of
hormones in lung health.11,80
SLEEP-DISORDERED BREA THINGWe have already discussed snoring, insomnia, and sleep apnea in detail
(Chapter Seven ), but here again, there are differences between men and
women in sleep-disordered breathing, and these are worth mentioning. There is a highe r prevalence of sleep apnea in men, perhaps due to a greater
collapsibility of the airways.11 But once wome n reach menopause, there is
about a 200% increase in the incidence of sleep apnea.1 This occurs
independently of other risk factors, indicating that female sex hormones,
thought to have a protective effect on the airways and ventil atory drive,
could guard against sleep apnea in premenopausal women.11
Young and middle-aged women are far less prone to apneas than men,
but older women experience much more sleep disturbance. Reduced levels
of progesterone  and estradiol (estrogen) contribute to the incidence of
sleep-disordered breathing.81 Replacement of these hormones decreases
apnea frequency compared with untreated postmenopausal women.82
Premenopausal women with severe obstructive sleep apnea have much
lower progestero ne than healthy women and women with mild OSA.83 The
gender differen ces in the prevalence of sleep apnea decreases after
menopause, indicating that the menopausal status itself plays a part in OSA. Progesterone is known to improve the tone of the upper airway muscles.11
Levels of the hormone decrease after menopause, which is one reason why
postmenopausal women become more susceptible to sleep -disordered
breathing. A 2015 study found that progesterone reduces sleep apnea in
menopausal women.84
Another contributing factor is a change in the way body  fat is
distributed. After menopause, women are likely to have more body fat, and
this tends to be concentrated in the upper body, where fat on the tongue,
neck, and abdom en is a commo n anatomical factor in sleep apnea. Fat on
the throa t narrows the airway, causing increased resistance to breathing and
greater airway collapsibility. Fat on the tongue takes up space in the mouth
and may encroa ch on the airway. Extra weight on the belly reduces the
amplitude of diaphragm movem ents, causing a decrease in lung volume and
more frequent collapse of the upper airways during sleep. The results of a 1988 study comparing incidence of sleep-disordered
breathing in obese men and women found that obese women have an
increased chemosensitivity to hypoxia and hypercapnia when compared towomen of a healthy weight. Breathing is often noticeable in overweight
women, even at rest. Fast, upper chest breathing with no pause after the
exhalation and feelings of breathlessness are typical. While it would make
sense that the increased sensitivi ty to blood CO2 could be caused  by oxygen
desaturation and poor breathing during sleep, the same change in
chemosensitivity in relation to body fat load is not present in obese men.85
Similarly, pregnancy increases the incidence of OSA by around 8% due
to increased neck circumference, greater nasal congestion, and pharyngeal
edema, a swelling in the tissues of the throat. In the later stages of
pregnancy, there  is also less room for the diaphragm to function, reducing
lung volume and triggering upper airway collapse. As a result of these
considerations, snoring is consi dered a primary risk factor in pregnancy-
induced hypertension.86 (We will look in more detail at OSA during
pregnancy in the next chapter.) ANXIETY DISORDERS
Women are between two and three times more likely to develop panic
disorder than men.1 This susceptibility may be linked to sex hormones. Women with panic disorder experience a worsening of their panic
symptoms and anxiety during the premenstrual phase of their cycle.87,88
Studies in rats have shown that withdrawal of progesterone increased
susceptibility to panic-related anxiety, indicating that the lower levels of
progesterone in the days before the period may be a trigger.89 Numerous
studies link low progesterone to feelings of anxiety.87 Progesterone is a
respiratory stimulant. High levels of the hormone can cause
hyperventilation, but when levels drop very low, it is thought this can
increase the perception of breathlessness.90 While the weig ht of evidence
points to a higher prevalence of anxiety disorders in women, the research is
incomplete. This comes back to the male/female research bias and the fact
that the bulk of the literature has focused on male rodents.91
Scientist have demonstrated an increase in panic symptoms, often
interpreted as hot flashes, and anxiety in women experiencing the
menopausal transition. This suggests that panic disorder may


atitude and devotion. 7. Evening Hours
I am grateful for having eaten lightly enough to have ener gy for a
productive evening. I use my time to deepen my r elationships, tend to the
emotional needs of my family, expand my mind, incr ease my participation
in the world ar ound me, and delve into the mysteries of life that emer ge
more clearly in the nighttime hours. If my envir onment supports it, I take
the opportunity to walk, hopefully able to see the stars in the nighttime
sky. A cup of herbal tea is my evening companion, supporting me in
pacifying my physical system as I head towar d sleep. I allow my body
and soul to r eveal their needs to me, as I use these hours to conclude my
day in a positive way. I attend to the needs of those ar ound me, honoring
my role as par ent, mate, and friend. I enjoy my life as it is. I honor its demands, and honor my desir es. I
take the time to br eathe in the r ealization of how fortunate I am, and
commit to living ever mor e fully with each passing day. I give thanks for
having lived this day, and I give blessings to all the world. It might seem at first that such a positive description is simply fiction. And if you have been living the life of an active addict, then that might be
true. But as you write a dif ferent description of your life, you create a lineof possibility that did not exist before. Do not underestimate the power of
your mind to reprogram your experience. Enlightened lines of thought counter dysfunctional habits. Even one
moment of insight—looking around the food court at lunchtime and
realizing with blazing clarity that its main of ferings are bad for you and that
you can choose differ ently;  looking at others and realizing that the healing
of your dysfunctional habits is intimately tied up with the love you extend
—leads to another insight and then another, leading at last to your escape
from food hell. It is not enough to simply read what I wrote in the last few pages. In
order to receive the benefit of this lesson, write down a description of your
own day. Begin by writing about your present life—simply describing what
is—and then reading it. Allow yourself to see the gap between the fear that
is, and the love that could be. Recognize how often your thought-forms are
weak, fear based, and almost sure to produce dysfunction. Now write a new statement of intention, a manifesto of love for all the
things you will do during your day, and allow yourself to gently lean into it. There is nothing new for you to do so much as something new for you to
imagine. Y our spiritually re-envisioning your life will begin to transform it. This new attitudinal architecture is not meant to tyrannize you, but to lead
you to freedom. A new way of eating, one that fundamentally and permanently transforms
you, can only be created within the context of a new way of being. Y our
desire to eat dif ferently is a sacred calling to take your entire life to a deeper
level. If you don’ t feel it yet, that’ s okay. But do still write it down, for that
is the first step. And, of course, return your journal to the altar when you are
done. Reflection and Prayer
Sitting quietly with your eyes closed, see your day ahead. W ith every
action you know you will be taking, actively see how you would probably
behave given past patterns. Now ask Divine Mind to reveal to you the
possibilities for a more enlightened you.See things you do; now see more loving things you could  do, or how you
could do what you do more lovingly. See yourself speaking harshly or
negatively, if that is what you tend to do; now see yourself speaking gently
and kindly. See yourself eating poorly or hurriedly, excessively or
secretively; now see yourself eating with appropriateness and self-care. As you allow Spirit to show you a new way of living, you will naturally
see within your mind’ s eye a new way of eating. Y ou will imagine what it
looks like and feels like to feed your body lovingly, to allow food to be part
of a lar ger matrix of love in your life. By imagining it, holding the vision,
and allowing the vision to come alive within you, you will gradually
experience it coming to pass. Dear God,
Please show me how to live in love. May a new kind of eating
come naturally fr om a new way of being. I devote not only my appetites
but every part of me to Y ou. Wher e fear has blocked me,
may love now fr ee me. Please teach me, God,
how to live my life
in the light of love,
that my fear shall be no mor e.
Amen

RITUALIZE THE CHANGE IN YOU
I have a girlfriend, author Kathy Freston, for whom healthy eating is an
art. Her books have influenced thousands, if not millions, of people on the
benefits of a more enlightened diet. Her example has had more of an impact
on my own thinking and behavior than she probably realizes, as I find
myself, in her words, “leaning into” a more healthy diet. I don’ t have a goal
around this so much as I am involved in a process. I realize what a gift she
has been to me—someone I know whose eating is grounded in natural,
nutritious, and spiritual principles. I’ve been a guest in Kathy’ s home several times, and consequently I’ve
been privy to what is in her refrigerator and kitchen cupboards. Her vegan
world is like a mysterious universe to me. I don’ t make notes … but I do
observe, and I ask questions. I’m not running out and trying to force myself
to become a vegetarian, but I’ve deepened my understanding about
connecting my spirituality to the way I eat. Knowing Kathy has had a subtle
but powerful influence on how I think about food. As a student of A Course in Miracles, I know that relationships are
assignments made by a loving universe, giving everyone involved the
opportunity for soul growth. Someone who inspires you to eat in a healthier
way is an important figure in your life. Kathy rarely talks to me about her
passion for healthy food—part of her power, in fact, is that she doesn’ t seek
to pressure others—but her presence is like a guiding light as I move toward
a healthier diet. This lesson involves finding your own Inspirer, as Kathy is mine. Whether your issue is excessive eating or simply better eating, there is
power in having a living example to look to. Your Inspirer is much like what 12-step programs call a sponsor. This
may be someone who has healed from food compulsion and now inspiresyou in your own healing. This person might help you navigate the various
temptations that confront you, and can understand what you’re going
through in ways that others never could. Or your Inspirer might be someone
who has never suf fered from a weight issue at all, but simply demonstrates
a way of being with food and with his or her body that you can learn from. It’s what your Inspirer demonstrates now, more than what he or she
experienced in the past, that makes this individual a beacon of hope for you
as you move forward. His or her very presence demonstrates what’ s
possible. Once you have identified your Inspirer, you will ask this person to
participate in a personal initiation ceremony that marks the beginning of a
new phase of your life. This initiation is not just a farewell to your
compulsive self, but also a calling forth of the spirit of your true being. Rituals such as this have a way of grounding the holy. Once your
psychological responses are infused with Spirit, you’ll feel more personally
capable of making real change. The initiation ceremony is sacred, and the people you ask to participate in
it with you are important. Y ou will ask them to “stand up” for you as you
make a journey into conscious weight loss. It is conscious in that it goes beyond the mere letting go of weight; it is a
letting go of the part of your personality for which eating excessively and
self-destructively has felt natural. Y our losing weight is not just the removal
of excess weight from your body; it is the removal of unwanted dynamics
from your mind. You are building new synapses in your brain, new tracks in your nervous
system, and new thought-forms in your problem-solving repertoire. This
process—leaving you no longer at the mercy of your out-of-control habits,
and giving you dominion over your body—makes your journey away from
food compulsion a spiritual initiation. With this lesson you create a ceremony, through which you pass from a
formerly weakened to a newly strengthened you. This journey is a spiritual
death and rebirth of sorts. The aspect of yourself that has struggled with
weight will be disappearing, and the aspect that is free of such struggle will
rise from the ethers of a more spiritualized consciousness. By agreeing to play the role of your Inspirer, this person willingly
contributes his or her goodwill and support to your ef fort at weight loss.Your Inspirer may never even talk to you about your struggle once your
initiation ceremony is done, or he or she may listen to you un


 part of a game — mumblety-peg. Y et what
it actually is is a compound of inanimate elements and previously living
molecules — steel and wood, shaped a certain way and fashioned so — but
even this is but an indication of what it truly is, for our senses reveal only a
tiny part of the total qualities of anything that seizes our attention.So a thing is the kind of thing it is only because of the personal relationship
of the beholder, and it actually never has any true qualities at all because
our senses are too crude to perceive any truth about it other than that which
proceeds out of our consciousness. And it is this that af fects us most of all. For when we see the knife we do not think of the kind and quality of the
steel and whether it has substance or is only idea, but we look at the knife
only to determine its relationship to us, and that is the only thing we see. Matter Is Movement

Just to understand the scientific premise that matter is not matter at all but
intense movement confined within spatial limits is to arrive at a pinnacle of
mental and spiritual freedom that will never again allow you to be
intimidated by the things and circumstances around you. In deepest truth
they are no more real than the conditioning of your consciousness, and you
can, by an act of increased mental awareness, change them from the things
you think they are into something totally and completely dif ferent. Here we knock on the door of the occult. The ring of the foregoing indicates
we will be able to move mountains, change water into wine, still the winds;
and indeed we might once we learn the testing but veil-breaking truth that
all mountains are in the mind, as are all limitation and lack, all storms. Make this encompassing decision, that matter is subservient to mind, and
you will see at once that the world and everything in it is only an ef fect of
consciousness, a partial manifestation of thought; and inasmuch as it
remains always a reflection of idea in the mind of the beholder, it exhibits at
once another of its infinite reflections the moment the thought in the
beholder ’s mind changes. What that means is this: things show only a side that reflects the
individual’ s thought about them. They don’ t truly change when the thought
about them changes, but they contain all possibilities and reveal to the
beholder only an aspect that their consciousness is prepared to perceive.This metaphysical breakdown of the universe is a great help in adjusting
oneself to the premise of working first with mind and allowing events to
develop from an inner impulsion of their own. Once we are fully convinced
of the mental causes behind all things, we no longer feel impelled to run
about, lay on hands, attempt one way or the other to coerce the world to fit
the pattern in our minds. One intelligence lies at the center of all events and
things, and it is at the core of your own nature. Once you have gained
sufficient wisdom to be concerned only with your own consciousness and
the inner discipline that widens its awareness, then you can be sure that the
outer world will be a reflection of the inner, that you are working with the
root causes of your environment. All possibilities exist in each of us because each of us is a manifestation of
a mind that is totality, infinity, unity; and each is only less than the total
according to our isolation from it, and when we expand our mental nature,
we approach original perfection, power, omniscience. Mind over matter is
not so much a mental dominion over material things as it is an awareness of
their many-sidedness and unlimited potentiality. Acceptance by the
observer of any one facet of a thing as the totality of that thing
automatically confers such limitation on that thing as far as its influence
upon the observer is concerned. In this respect our lives are guided by
shadows, by the meaningful aspects we give the things and events we meet
in the world, and our consciousness is never as much a product of
circumstances as circumstances (in this subjective way) are a result of our
consciousness. Our Skin-Deep Selves

A little r eflection on the conditioning quality of consciousness is all that is
necessary to quickly r ealize how continuously it works in our lives. Love is
blind because the lover always per ceives the mental image of the beloved. The divor ce rate is a pr oduct of disenchantment. It is not because of
disenchantment that love leaves; disenchantment comes after love leaves.Places of triumph r evisited always seem strangely small and shoddy. They
do not fit the magnificent ar enas cast up by our emotionally char ged
memories. And when pain commingles with places and events, we can no
more bring ourselves to visit them or have contact with them or even dr edge
them up fr om our memories than we can spr out wings and fly, so capricious
is the pain-avoiding, pleasur e-seeking ego in its efforts to hide our true
selves. This veil-shrouding, fan-dancing, now-you-see-it-now-you-don’ t quality of
the ego is what makes each of us use a thousand selves in the conduct of
our lives, and never actually be any one of them or even all put together. Because we do not truly know who we are, we seek in every situation a role
to be played, usually feeling no sense of deceit or sham whatever, but
blithely accepting the fact of a chameleon self which adapts its colors to its
background. In the of fice we are a dif ferent self to the boss than to our
subordinates. At home we are a dif ferent self to our spouse than to our
children. W e are a dif ferent self at our club than with a small group of
confidants. And we often present a dif ferent self to the neighbor on one side
of us than to the neighbor on the other. We seldom know how it is that we
get into the various roles we play, but play them we must, and when we
have a dinner party and carefully select the guest list with an eye to their
getting along, it is not the homogeneity of the guests that our eye reviews
but whether we have played the same role with all of them and therefore
can be a single self at the party that night. If perchance an uninvited guest
arrives, this sudden loping in is greeted with deep consternation as the
necessity of playing two dif ferent roles is foisted upon us. It awakens deep
within our psyches the uneasy undertones of schizophrenia. Great dramatic coaches, in an ef fort to lead their protégés to understanding
of the characters they portray, always seek an under -the-skin approach,
instinctively realizing that a person is only truly understood from the inside,
that any other position deals with symptoms only. Humanity’ s investigation
of the world itself has taken this inner and outer course — the inner
exemplified by psychology, religion, parapsychology; the outer exemplified
by the physical sciences. Science has made the greater progress by far, but
the race is not always to the swift. Science has pursued substance in its
laboratories, from mountain to atoms, but unraveled no enigmas other thana kind of elementary construction, and its sole accomplishment in its search
for the secret of life has been to chase matter of f the physical stage into
some realm of invisibility where it no longer can be perceived, much less
understood by the methods and instruments available. Intuitive Per ception

We are reactive animals and generally play the roles expected of us. Rare
and wise is the person who is able to shuck of f this automatism. They are
able to do so only by recognizing that within each of us resides the identical
animating spirit. By inner understanding they are able to allow events to
develop through their own inner impulsion. This intuitive perception
permits them to take their place in each event according to the best interests
of their own nature. We are all born into a bondage of the senses, and insofar as we place
absolute credence in their evidence, we remain slaves to them. Only when
we arrive at a mystic intuition of the universality of intelligence are we
finally able to realize that matter in essence is only mind and that innate in
each of us is the same resident being, which exists everywhere at all times
and in all things, appearing to be dif ferent according to the form into which
it has entered but essentially remaining one, indivisible, and infinite. Once in a while someone arises who by some strange evolutionary leap
seems to have surmounted the bondage that holds others. Such a man was
Edgar Cayce, the wizard of V irginia Beach. Not only was he able to read
minds and see things and events at a distance, but he also seemed able to
call upon universal mind for all the knowledge within it. Cayce’ s
perceptions circumvented time, space, matter, and his carefully documented
exploits have never been disproved. He became in hypnotic trance the most
erudite of men, having at his fingertips all the knowledge in the fields of
medicine and religion, yet in his normal waking state he was totally lacking
in education. And Edgar Cayce does not stand alone as a mentalphenomenon. Nearly every child prodigy, every genius exhibits this strange
power to transcend the limitations of matter by a gigantic leap of mind. Mozart,

SECTICIDES	such	as	lead	arsenate,	hydrocyanic	gas	and	other	cyanide

compounds,	DDT,	parathion	and	other	deadly	poisons	are	a	constant	cause	of

death	and	disease. Dr.	Abraham	Gelperin,	director	of	the	Bureau	of

Communicable	Diseases	and	assistant	Clinical	Professor	or	Public	Health	at	Yale

University,	stated	flatly	that	he	believes	many	ills	to	be	the	result	of	these	poison

insecticides,	and	that	large	numbers	of	what	are	believed	to	be	polio	are	in	reality

cases	of	poisoning,	possibly	caused	by	something	like	parathion. Dr.	J.	W.	Norton	of	the	N.	C.	Department	of	Health	said	the	"symptoms	of

parathion	poisoning	are	similar	to	those	of	polio,	including	headache,	gastric

upset,	giddiness,	tightness	of	the	chest,	vomiting	and	sometimes	diarrhea. "One	of	the	manufacturers	of	the	widely	used	insecticide	parathion	describes	it

as	‘capable	of	producing	severe	systemic	toxic	effects	and	death	in	animals	and

man	either	by	oral	administration,	inhalation	of	mists,	dusts,	or	vapors	and	by

absorption	through	the	unbroken	skin." (Prevention,	June,	1950.	p.	12)

What	are	our	elected	officers	and	public	protectors	doing	while	all	this	wholesale

poisoning	is	going	on? Are	the	extremely	wealthy	manufacturers	the	only	ones

to	be	"protected"	in	their	game	of	"grab	and	stab"? FORMALDEHYDE	IN	MILK	has	been	reported	as	a	cause	of	polio. Australian

Medical	Gazette,	(Aug.	24,	1897)	states	that	"formalin,"	an	aqueous	solution	of

formaldehyde,	caused	paralysis	in	some	who	drank	milk	that	contained	it. Our

U.S.	Government	permits	the	dairymen	to	add	formaldehyde	to	milk	so	that

stale,	inferior	milk	may	be	sold	as	fresh	milk. Formaldehyde	is	a	poisonous

embalming	fluid	that	is,	no	doubt,	one	of	the	causes	of	the	epidemics	of	diarrhea

and	death	among	the	bottle	fed	infants	in	hospitals. The	Lancet	(Jan.	9,	1915)	mentions	an	epidemic	of	polio	that	was	said	to	have

been	caused	by	raw	milk. It	has	never	been. proved	that	raw	milk	has	ever

caused	polio	or	undulant	fever	or	any	other	disease	but	the	added	poison

preservatives	could	cause	many	diseases. Pasteurization	companies	capitalized

on	this	incident	to	stampede	some	laws	into	operation	which	would	prohibit	the

sale	of	raw	(unprocessed)	milk. Pasteurization	makes	matters	even	worse	because	the	heating	process	melts	the
	butterfat	in	the	milk	and	this	coats	the	calcium	globules	and	renders	the	calcium

assimilable	to	a	large	extent. From	the	Journal	of	Biochemistry,	(Vol. 75,	pp. 251-62. Oct.,	1927)	we	read:

"In	the	Nutrition	Laboratory	of	the	Dept. of	Home	Economics	of	the	University

of	Chicago,	in	1927,	experimentation	revealed	that	only	about	27%	of	the

calcium	in	pasteurized	milk	and	30%	of	evaporated	milk	was	retained	in	the

body." Rats	fed	on	pasteurized	milk	grew	at	only	half	the	normal	rate	and	developed

various	ailments	and	died	early. Calves	fed	on	pasteurized	milk	died	before

maturity	in	9	out	of	10	cases. Dr.	Royal	Lee	of	the	Lee	Foundation	of	Nutritional	Research,	Milwaukee,	stated:

"I	offer	the	sum	of	$1,000	to	anyone	who	can	offer	evidence	acceptable	to	the

average	jury	that	pasteurization	has	not	affected	the	nutritional	values	of	milk	to

the	extent	that	it	is	incapable	of	maintaining	the	tooth	and	bone	structures	of	the

test	animals." The	Salk	vaccine	also	has	formaldehyde	added	to	the	poison	decomposed

protein	from	which	the	vaccine	was	made,	which	adds	to	its	toxicity. MERCURY,	which	is	freely	used	in	the	practice	of	medicine,	especially	in	the

treatment	of	venereal	diseases,	is	reported	to	have	caused	many	cases	of	polio. "Gonorrhea	the	crippler"	is	an	advertising	"scare	head"	term	that	is	used	to

terrorize	"suspects"	into	the	treatment	offices. The	crippling	is	usually	done	by

the	treatment	and	not	the	disease	itself. On	a	simple	fasting	and	correct	diet

program	the	disease	heals	the	same	as	other	conditions,	when	not	interfered	with

by	suppressive	medical	measures. SOLANIN,	a	poison	that	is	formed	in	frozen	potatoes	was	found	to	be	the	cause

of	an	epidemic	in	Ireland. The	disease	had	polio-like	reactions	but	was	called

remittent	fever. Old,	sprouting	potatoes	and	those	that	have	been	exposed	to	the

sun	in	the	growing	period	until	the	skin	was	green	were	also	found	to	contain

this	toxic	substance. UNRIPE	FRUIT	and	ERGOT	from	some	types	of	rye	have	caused
	gastrointestinal	disturbances	which	affected	the	nerves,	spinal	cord	and	brain	and

caused	a	form	of	polio. A	diet	excessively	high	in	grains	(especially	milled

grains)	has	been	followed	by	deficiencies	that	terminated	in	polio	as	was

reported	by	Stockman	and	Johnson	in	the	Journal	of	Nutrition,	(Nov.,	1934). NEGATIVE	EMOTIONS	such	as	fear,	anger,	hatred,	jealousy,,	anxiety	etc. release	adrenaline	or	generate	other	poisons	that	irritate	the	nerves	or	impede

circulation	and	poison	the	cells	just	the	same	as	injected	poisons. The	fear	of

polio	or	any	other	disease	can	help	to	develop	it. On	the	other	hand	a	clean	body

and	happy	state	of	mind	can	help	immunize	against	it. FOUR	POISONS	IN	WHITE	BREAD

In	the	very	early	days	when	bread	was	made	from	freshly	ground	whole	grains	it

could	rightly	be	called	the	staff	of	life	because	it	could	sustain	life. But	our

present	day	commercialized	bread	is	stripped	of	its	vital	life	elements	when	the

heart,	the	germ	and	the	outer	coatings	with	all	the	valuable	minerals	are	removed

in	the	milling	and	processing	of	the	flour. In	addition	to	this	devitalizing	step,

four	poisons	are	added	to	make	a	defective	product	salable,

1)	Agene	a	bleach	as	poisonous	as	Clorox	or	any	other	washday	chlorine	bleach

is	added	to	flour	to	make	it	whiter—as	if	that	matters. Dr.	Scobey’s	research

department	states	that	"It	has	recently	been	discovered	that	white	bread,	which

has	been	treated	with	the	bleaching	agent	nitrogen	trichioride,	(agene)	produces

in	dogs	epilepsy	identical	with	the	human	disease...The	disease	in	dogs	has	been

described	in	the	past	as	‘canine	hysteria,’	(rabies)	‘running	fits,’	or	‘fright

disease’	and	it	was	attributed	by	some	scientists	to	an	infectious	agent,	possibly	a

virus..."	The	poisoning	is	obvious	and	yet	they	try	to	blame	the	condition	onto	a

virus. 2
