 and churn in thepresence of acid and pancreatic enzymes but they will not digest completely. Partbecomes water soluble; part does not. But, indigestible protein is still subject to an undesirable form of consumption in
the gut. Various bacteria make their home in our airless, warm intestines. Some ofthese live on protein. In the process of consuming undigested proteins, theyrelease highly toxic substances. They poison us. What is true of the white of an egg is also true of flesh foods and dairy. Raw
meat and raw fish are actually easily digestible foods and if not wrongly combinedwill not produce toxemia in a person that still has a strong pancreas. However,eating raw meat and fish can be a dicey proposition, both for reasons of culturalsensibility (people think it is disgusting) and because there may be living parasitesin uncooked flesh that can attack, sicken and even kill people. It has been arguedthat a healthy stomach containing its proper degree of acidity provides animpenetrable barrier to parasites. Perhaps. But how many of us are that healthythese days? Cooked flesh and fish seems more delicious to our refined, civilizedsensibilities, but are a poor food. In my household we have no moral objection to eating meat. We do have an
ethical objection in that meat eating does not contribute to our health. But still, wedo eat it. A few times a year, for traditional celebrations we may invite thechildren over and cook a turkey. A few times for Thanksgiving when the children
were going through their holier-than-thou vegetarian stage, I purchased the
largest, thickest porterhouse steak I could find at the natural meat store and ate itmedium-rare, with relish. It was delicious. It made me feel full for hours and hoursand hours. I stayed flat on the couch and groggily worked on digesting it allevening. After that I’d had enough of meat to last for six months. When milk is pasteurized, the proteins in it are also altered in structure. Not so
severely as egg white is altered by cooking because pasteurization happens at alower temperature. But altered none the less. And made less digestible.Pasteurizing also makes milk calcium far less assimilable. That’s ironic because somany people are drinking milk because they fear they need more calcium to avoidosteoporosis and to give their children good teeth. What pasteurized milk actuallydoes to their children is make them calcium deficient and makes the children toxic,provoking many colds, ear infections, sinusitis, inflammations of the tonsils andlung infections, and, induces an allergy to milk in the children. The Development Of Allergies
There are three ways a body can become allergic. (1) It can have a genetic
predisposition for a specific allergy to start with. (2) It can be repeatedly exposedto an irritating substance such as pollen when, at the same time, the body’smechanism for dealing with irritations is weakened. Generally weak adrenalscauses this because the adrenal’s job is to produce hormones that reduceinflammation. Once the irritating substance succeeds at producing a significantinflammation, a secondary reaction may be set up, called an allergy. Onceestablished, an allergy is very hard to get rid of. (3) An allergy can develop in a way very similar to the second case, but
instead of being irritated by an external substance, it is irritated by repeatedlyfailing to properly, fully digest something. Pasteurized milk for example, basicallyimpossible to completely digest even in its low-fat form, often sets up an allergythat applies to other forms of cows milk, even raw, unpasteurized cows milk or
yogurt. Eating too much white flour can eventually set off a wheat allergy. My
husband developed a severe allergy to barley after drinking too much home-brewed beer; he also became highly intolerant to alcohol. Now he has allergicreactions to both alcohol and barley. And gets far sicker from drinking beer (twoseparate allergies) than from wheat beer, hard liquor or wine (only one allergy). Eating too much of any single food, or repeatedly eating too much of an
otherwise very good food at one time, can eventually overwhelm the body’sability to digest it fully. Then, the finest whole food products may set up an allergicreaction. Worse, this allergic reaction itself subsequently prevents proper digestioneven when only moderate quantities are eaten. An allergy may not be recognized as an allergy because it may not manifest as
the instant skin rash or stuffy nose or swollen glands or sticky eyes. that peopleusually think of when they think “allergic reaction.” Food allergies can cause manykinds of symptoms, from sinusitis to psychosis, from asthma to arthritis, fromhyperactivity to depression, insomnia to narcolepsy—and commonly thesymptoms don’t manifest immediately after eating. Frequently, allergic reactions
are so low grade as to be unnoticeable and may not produce an observablecondition until many years of their grinding down the vital force has passed. Whenthe condition finally appears it is hard to associate it with some food that has beenconsumed for years, apparently with impunity. Thus it is that many North Americans have developed allergies to wheat, dairy,
soy products (because many soy foods are very hard to digest), corn and eggs.These are such common, widespread, frequently found allergies that anyoneconsidering a dietary cause of their complaints might just cut all these foods out ofthe diet for a few weeks just to see what happens. And individuals may be allergicto anything from broccoli to bacon, strawberries to bean sprouts. Unraveling foodallergies sometimes requires the deductions of a Sherlock Holmes. However, food allergies are very easy to cure if you can get the suffererer to
take the medicine. Inevitably, allergic reactions vanish in about five days of
abstinence. Anyone with sufficient self-discipline to water fast for five days can
cure themselves of all food allergies at one step. Then, by a controlled, gradualreintroduction of foods, they can discover which individual items cause trouble.See Coca’s Pulse Test in the Appendix where you’ll find step-by-step instructionsfor allergy testing that are less rigorous, not requiring a preliminary fast. Flour, And Other Matters Relating To Seeds
One of the largest degradations to human health was caused by the roller mill. This apparently profitable machine permitted the miller to efficiently separatewheat flour into three components: bran, germ and endosperm. Since bread madewithout bran and germ is lighter and appears more “upper class” it becameinstantly popular. Flour without germ and bran also had an industrial application—it could be stored virtually forever without being infested by insects because whiteflour does not contain enough nutrition to support life. Most health consciouspeople are aware that white flour products won’t support healthful human lifeeither. Essentially, white flour’s effect on humans is another demonstration of Health =
Nutrition / Calories. When the bran and germ are discarded, remaining are thecalories and much of the protein, lacking are many vitamins and minerals andother vital nutritional substances. Whole wheat bread has been called the staff of life. In ages past, healthy
cultures have made bread the predominant staple in their diet. Does that meanyou can just go to the bakery and buy whole grain bread, or go to the healthfoodstore and buy organically grown whole wheat flour, bake your own, and be ashealthy as the ancients? Sorry, the answer is almost certainly no. There are pitfalls,many of them, waiting for the unwary. White flour has one other advantage over whole wheat flour. It not only
remains free of insect infestation, it doesn’t become stale (meaning rancid). In thewheat germ (where the embryo resides) there is considerable oil, containing
among other things, about the best natural source of vitamin E. This oil is highly
unsaturated and once the seed is ground the oil goes rancid in a matter of days.Whole wheat flour kept on the unrefrigerated shelf of the store is almost certainlyrancid. A lot of its other vitamin content has been oxidized too. If the wheat flourhad flowed directly from the grinder into an airtight sack and from there directly tothe freezer, if it had been flash frozen and kept extremely cold, it might have astorage life of some months. Of course that was not the case. Maybe you’relucky and your healthfood store is one of the very few that has its own small-scaleflour mill and grinds daily. Probably not. How about your baker’s whole wheat bread? Where does the baker get
flour? From the wholesaler’s or distributor’s warehouse! In fifty pound kraftpapersacks! How much time had elapsed from milling to wholesaler to baker tobaking? The answer has to be in the order of magnitude of weeks. And it mightbe months. Was the flour stored frozen? Or airtight? Of course not. If you want bread made from freshly ground flour you are almost certainly
have to grind and bake it yourself. Is it worth the trouble? You bet. Once you’vetasted real bread you’ll instantly see by comparison what stale, rancid wholewheat flour tastes like. Freshly ground flour makes bread that can be the staff oflife and can enormously upgrade your health— if the wheat you use is any good. But before we talk about wheat quality, a more few words of warning. If you
think wheat goes rancid rapidly, rye is even worse. Rye flour goes bad so fast thatwhen you buy it in the store it usually is the rye equivalent of white wheat flour.The germ has been removed. The bag may not say so. But it probably has. If youare going to make


 by Hay House calledGetting in the Gap: Making Conscious Contact with God Through
Meditation. For now, just know that I consider meditating and practicing
Japa essential in the quest to realign yourself with the power of intention. That power is Creation, and you need to be in your own unique state of
creativity to collaborate with the power of intention. Meditation and Japa
are surefire ways to do so. 2. Be kind. A fundamental attribute of the supreme originating power is
kindness. All that’s manifested is brought here to thrive. It takes a kindly
power to want what it creates to thrive and multiply. Were this not the case,
then all that’s created would be destroyed by the same power that created it. In order to reconnect to intention, you must be on the same kindness
wavelength as intention itself. Make an effort to live in cheerful kindness. It’s a much higher energy than sadness or malevolence, and it makes the
manifestation of your desires possible. It’s through giving that we receive;
it’s through acts of kindness directed toward others that our immune
systems are strengthened and even our serotonin levels increased. Low energy thoughts that weaken us fall in the realm of shame, anger,
hatred, judgment, and fear. Each of these inner thoughts weakens us and
inhibits us from attracting into our lives what we desire. If we become what
we think about, and what we think about is what’s wrong with the world
and how angry and ashamed and fearful we are, it stands to reason that
we’ll act on those unkind thoughts and become what we’re thinking about. When you think, feel, and act kindly, you give yourself the opportunity to
be like the power of intention. When you’re thinking and acting otherwise,
you’ve left the field of intention, and you’ve assured yourself of feeling
cheated by the all-creative Spirit of intent. — Kindness toward yourself. Think of yourself like this: There’s a
universal intelligence subsisting throughout nature inherent in every one of
its manifestations. You are one of those manifestations. You are a piece of
this universal intelligence—a slice of God, if you will. Be good to God,
since all that God created was good. Be good to yourself. You are Godmanifested, and that’s reason enough to treat yourself kindly. Remind
yourself that you want to be kind to yourself in all the choices that you
make about your daily life. Treat yourself with kindness when you eat,
exercise, play, work, love, and everything else. Treating yourself kindly will
hasten your ability to connect to intention. — Kindness toward others. A basic tenet of getting along and being
happy, as well as enlisting the assistance of others toward achieving all that
you want to attract, is that people want to help you and do things for you. When you’re kind to others, you receive kindness in return. A boss who’s
unkind gets very little cooperation from his employees. Being unkind with
children makes them want to get even rather than help you out. Kindness
given is kindness returned. If you wish to connect to intention and become
someone who achieves all of your objectives in life, you’re going to need
the assistance of a multitude of folks. By practicing extending kindness
everywhere, you’ll find support showing up in ways that you could never
have predicted. This idea of extending kindness is particularly relevant in how you deal
with people who are helpless, elderly, mentally challenged, poor, disabled,
and so on. These people are all part of God’s perfection. They, too, have a
divine purpose, and since all of us are connected to each other through
Spirit, their purpose and intent is also connected to you. Here’s a brief story
that will touch you at the heart level. It suggests that those whom we meet
who are less than able to care for themselves may have come here to teach
us something about the perfection of intention. Read it and know that this
kind of thinking, feeling, and behavior empowers you to connect to
intention through matching its kindness with your own. In Brooklyn, New York, Chush is a school that caters to
learning-disabled children. Some children remain in Chush for
their entire school career, while others can be mainstreamed
into conventional schools. At a Chush fundraiser dinner, the
father of a Chush child delivered a speech that would never be
forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and itsdedicated staff, he cried out, “Where is the perfection in my
son, Shaya. Everything God does is done with perfection. But
my child cannot understand things as other children do. My
child cannot remember facts and figures as other children do. Where is God’s perfection. ” The audience was shocked by the
question, pained by the father’s anguish, and stilled by the
piercing query. “I believe,” the father answered, “that when God brings a
child like this into the world, the perfection that he seeks is in
the way people react to this child. ” He then told the following
story about his son, Shaya. One afternoon Shaya and his father walked past a park where
some boys Shaya knew were playing baseball. Shaya asked,
“Do you think they’ll let me play. ” Shaya’s father knew that his
son was not at all athletic and that most boys would not want
him on their team. But Shaya’s father understood that if his son
was chosen to play, it would give him a sense of belonging. Shaya’s father approached one of the boys on the field and
asked if Shaya could play. The boy looked around for guidance
from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into his own
hands and said, “We’re losing by six runs, and the game is in
the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team, and we’ll try
to put him up to bat in the ninth inning. ”
Shaya’s father was ecstatic as Shaya smiled broadly. Shaya
was told to put on a glove and go out to play in center field. In
the bottom of the eighth inning, Shaya’s team scored a few runs
but was still behind by three. In the bottom of the ninth inning,
Shaya’s team scored again, and now had two outs and the bases
loaded, with the potential winning run on base, Shaya was
scheduled to be up. Would the team actually let Shaya bat at
this juncture and give away their chance to win the game. Surprisingly, Shaya was given the bat. Everyone knew that it
was all but impossible because Shaya didn’t even know how to
hold the bat properly, let alone hit with it. However, as Shayastepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved a few steps to lob the
ball in softly so Shaya could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came in, and Shaya swung clumsily and missed. One of Shaya’s teammates came up to Shaya, and together they
held the bat and faced the pitcher waiting for the next pitch. The
pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly
toward Shaya. As the pitch came in, Shaya and his teammate
swung the bat, and together they hit a slow ground ball to the
pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could
easily have thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shaya would
have been out and that would have ended the game. Instead,
thepitcher took the ball and threw it on a high arc to right field
far beyond the reach of the first baseman. Everyone started
yelling, “Shaya, run to first. Run to first. ” Never in his life had
Shaya run to first. He scampered down the baseline wide-eyed
and startled. By the time he reached first base, the right-fielder
had the ball. He could have thrown the ball to the second
baseman who would tag out Shaya, who was still running. But the right-fielder understood what the pitcher’s intentions
were, so he threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s
head. Everyone yelled, “Run to second, run to second. ” Shaya
ran toward second base as the runners ahead of him deliriously
circled the bases toward home. As Shaya reached second base,
the opposing shortstop ran to him, turned him in the direction of
third base, and shouted, “Run to third. ” As Shaya rounded
third, the boys from both teams ran behind him screaming,
“Shaya, run home. ” Shaya ran home, stepped on home plate,
and all 18 boys lifted him on their shoulders and made him the
hero, as he had just hit a “grand slam” and won the game for
his team. “That day,” said the father softly with tears now rolling down
his face, “those 18 boys reached their level of God’s
perfection. ”If you don’t feel a tug in your heart and a tear in your eye after reading
this story, then it’s unlikely that you’ll ever know the magic of connecting
back to the kindness of the supreme all-originating Source. — Kindness toward all of life. In the ancient teachings of Patanjali, we’re
reminded that all living creatures are impacted dramatically by those who
remain steadfast in the absence of thoughts of harm directed outward. Practice kindness toward all animals, tiny and huge, the entire kingdom of
life on Earth such as the forests, the deserts, the beaches, and

chemicals, and friction (e.g. ‘rope burn.’) These home remedies will
deal only with first degree or mild second degree burns caused by
heat (flame, hot liquids, hot items, etc.) First degree is defined as a burn
affecting only the top layers of skin, also known as the epidermis, while
second burns go deeper into underlying layers of skin, or the dermis. With second degree burns, fluid may leak from damaged blood vessels
and form a blister. For the record, it is a good idea to leave a blister
alone when it forms, as damaging it will only prolong the healing period. Burns
-Just a curious idea to ponder:
Sometime in the future, people
may choose that running luke-
warm or neutral temperature
water over a minor burn is
better than freezing cold. Recent research has shown
that while both cold and warm
(not hot) water delays burn
depth progression, results four
days after the burns took place
showed that the warm water
had provided additional benefit
by improving microcirculatory
perfusion. Microcirculation
means the circulation of blood
in the smallest blood vessels
within organ tissues (remember
your skin is your largest organ!) Perfusion is literally the process
of delivering the blood. The result
of the improved microcirculatory
perfusion was increased tissue
survival. Cold water inhibited this
by constricting blood vessels
and slowing circulation. Still, this
research has happened only
within the last few years, and most
medical professionals will advise
cold water treatment. 36Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingThere has been a lot of speculation about how honey speeds the healing of wounds, but the general consensus
seems to be that it does do something to help. Most likely this is caused by it acting as a natural disinfectant,
and possibly drawing fluid out from tissues. The sticky substance will keep your burn coated and, hopefully, help
it heal faster and more efficiently (the majority of complications with burns arise from infection. )Honey Bandage
-1 spoonful of honey
-A strip of gauze1. Run the burn under cool water and let it dry. It’s important to make
sure the burn has cooled before putting honey on it, otherwise you risk
retaining heat and extending damage. 2. Place a spoonful of honey on a strip of gauze. Place the gauze over
the burn and gently press it into place. Replace the bandage 3-4 times

annoying, and surprisingly complex. Despite being fairly common,
we really don’t know what the exact causes of these tiny ulcers are. There are actually subcategories of canker sores, but there’s enough
speculation flying around about these pesky things so I won’t get
started on that. Starting as small, red, flattened oval of skin, they
develop into ulcers that are covered in a yellow or white membrane. The end result looks like a painful red patch, sometimes swollen, with a
yellow or white area in the center. They generally go away on their own
within a few weeks, but are still quite bothersome and can interfere with
everyday life. They can also be stubbornly reoccurring. Canker Sores
-The exact cause of canker
sores is unknown, but there are
probably multiple factors that
contribute to them (some of which
are listed below), and people can
have more than one thing working
against them. By knowing what
may trigger your canker sores,
you have a better chance at
figuring out how to prevent them
in the first place. Some common
causes are-
-Biting your cheek/lip: A good
old chomp on the inside of your
mouth may contribute to canker
sores, as can rubbing from braces,
retainers, or dentures. -Certain foods: Spicy or acidic
foods seem to have to a solid link
to some people’s canker sores. Try keeping a canker sore diary
that tracks what you’ve been
eating so you can eliminate the
culprits. -Sodium lauryl sulfate: Sodium
lauryl sulfate (SLS) is an acid
commonly found in hygiene and
cleaning products, as it creates
foaming action. It is also found
in toothpaste. Numerous studies
have linked it to higher incidents
of canker sores, and they took
longer to heal than sores not
linked to SLS. 40Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingBaking soda can help a canker sore heal itself quickly for two reasons. First, it is an alkaline substance
(opposite of acidic)and therefore helps lower the acidity levels in your mouth, which can slow down the healing

contributing to it sticking around. Baking Soda Paste

or the other type may more or Jess dominate. A third
important factor will now ·be introduced: the modify
ing influence of surrounding normal tissue. In the theoretical situation of "pure" uncomplicated
corrosion, substances are produced at the sites of re
dox reactions. These materials lead to a local decrease
of em ropy, which in turn induce a new spontaneous
drive toward an equilibrium. In the theoretical situation of "pure" complicated
corrosion, polarization in tissue represents the driving
force, character ized by a catabolic, fluciWlting injury
potential. During the process of healing, however, the
injured tissue will interact not only with the adjacent
metal implant but also with the surrounding normal
tissue, as in any other healing process. The modifying
effects of the normal tissue are also characterized by its
own normally fluctuating, metabolic demand poten
tials. These three partial components may influence
each other in varying ways in an overall physicochemi
cal corrosion reaction driving toward equilibrium. The
dynamic interaction of such a system is outlined in
Fig. XII: 8 in terms of relative polarity and direction
of charge transpons in tissue-metal corrosion. It may
be seen that in cenain phases any of the reactants may
be anodic or cathodic. Locally decalcified and calcified
irregular regions in necrotizing bone are now nearly
ready to be linked to the described dynamic correla
tions between injured and surrounding noninjured tis
sue. A practical message from this presentation is that a
radiographic uline" adjacent to a metaHic implant in
bone is not necessarily a sign of poor fixation of the
implant. It may be caused by relatively harmless un
complicated corrosion. On the other hand, corrosion
of an implant is not always synonymous with the
classical "uncomplicated" example of relatively anodic
and cathodic pans in the metal. Corrosion in living tissue, in the author's opinion, is quite complex and
depends to a large extent on the activities of both
pathologic and normal tissue adjacent to the metal. In analyzing these events, the reader must recognize
a recurrent issue: the radiographically visible, in vivo
modifications of tissue structures are created by driv
ing forces which are separated by long distances. Such
conversions of energy over long distances can only take
place in combination with electric transports over suit·
able conducting channels, i.e., biologically closed elec·
tric circuits. 5. Pathways for the electric CurTent
To explain the morphologic background of biological
ly closed circuits is not simple, even in uncomplicated
corrosion. The surface of an iron nail immersed in
salt water, for instance, is in contact with the
conducting salt solution. The redox reactions neces
sary for corrosion always require a closed circuit. It
can be assumed that this circuit contains one branch
within the metal, providing transport of electrons be
tween the relatively anodic and cathodic sites. The
electrolyte and water provide the other branch of the
electric transpon units. The water molecules, by their
dielectric propenies, then can be regarded as an insu
lating and channelizing but movable matrix for the
solute. In the case of complicated corrosion involving nor
mal tissue, pathologic tissue and metal, as proposed in
Fig. XII: 8, an explan:uion for closed circuit ionic
exchange between normal and pathologic tissues has
heretofore been lacking. One conducting branch is
obviously formed by the electrically conducting inter
stitial fluid in the interstitial tissue channels. To com
plete the circuit, however, requires another branch. The following section deals with this problem. Biologically closed electric circuits 121 B. A biologicall y closed

ties of cells, of a region of tissue or of an entire organ
will present gradients of electric potential compared to
surrounding or distant cells, tissues or organs contain
ing different metabolic, physicochemical potentials. Given the presence of a biologically closed electric
circuit, energy exchange will take place between such
sites. Structural modifications and functional effectS
will follow. ln a conventional sense the movement of
fluids mechanically transports ions and other neces
sary materials to reaction sites in tissue. The existence

circuit will next be described. l. Structure of the vascular-interstitial
closed circuit (VICC)
The principle of electric communicat ions over bron
chial arteries and interstitial fluid between a necrotiz
ing lung tumour and adjacent lung is surveyed in Fig. XII: 9. It is understood that similar circuits also exist
over bronchial veins, pulmonary arteries and veins and
lymphatic vessels. The anticipated regions for ionic
diffusion and redox transfer of electric charges are not
indicated. The bronchial arteries are of particular interest in right bronchial artery. Radiographic contrast fills numerous
pathological vessels in the tumour as well as vessels supply
ing blood ro tissues surrounding the tumour. the lung because they are nutritional vessels in bron·
chogenic carcinomas. The distribution of the bronchial arteries can be
studied by techniques developed by the author for
infusing the bronchial arteries in dogs (42, 43) and
man (44). Fig. XII: 10 iUustrates a right bronchial

 An abundance of direct and indirect evi
dence nowadays exists about environmcnt.al influence
of electromag netic fields (5, 21, 48) on different bio
logical systems, i.e., plants (7), simple cellular organ
isms (6, 16), animals and man (48). Strong, moving
electromagnetic fields do appear in connection with
changes of weather conditions and particularly in cer
tain areas of the world. Thus, the Fohn and the Siroc
co winds in Europe are notorious for causing different
biologic effects, i.e., headache, hemicran ia, epileptic
fits, asthma, thromboembo lism and joinl pain (48). Even the rate of traffic accidents is related statistically
to these atmospheric disturbance s (95). In experiments
with mice it has been shown (88) that 50 Hz alternat
ing fields can be lethal to the animals at sufficiently
high intensities. Thus, an exposure of 650 kV/m at
50-500Hz during 60-120 minutes gave a mortality of
70%-90%. Associated problems are complex. Beneficial effects
of electric fields have been reported. The effect of a
II 0 V, 60 Hz "household current" on the develop
ment of mice (58) showed that mice exposed continu
ously to the field at about I k V /m over one month
gained weight more rapidly than the controls. Recent
ly collected data on the possible influences of external
man-made and natural electromagnetic fields ( 48)
strongly indicate the importance of environmental
electromagnetism in biology. This source of informa
tion summarizes the probable minimum safe distance
from the path of three-phase high-voltage transmission
lines as shown in Table XVIII: 4. Natural electromag
netic fields of different wavelength and strength are
always present in the biosphere (2). These fields, like
backgrou nd radiation, probably should be regarded as
factors partly responsib le for the way biological StrUC·
tures have developed. Nevertheless, situations defined
by excessive influence of any one of the natural com
ponents which create our environment may lead tem
porarily to noticeable disturbances (48). This general
ization appears also to hold for changes of our external
electric environment. Normal electromagnetic frequencies cncQuntercd in
the biosphere range from ultralow frequencies (ULF
= below I Hz) over the whole spectrum of increasing
frequencies to cosmic ultraradiation ( 48). All of these
frequencies are natural and therefore likely to be of
importance in some way for biology. The U LF, ELF
(extremely low frequencies up to 300 Hz;) and VLF

(very low frequencies up to 300kHz) are the most easy
to regard as influencing biologic functions because
normal bioelectrical events often take place in these
frequency regions (10). Striking similarities can, for
example, be found between alpha and delta waves of
human EEG records and some of the natural electro
magnetic waves in our environment (l ). It is therefore
understandable why certain biologic reactions are sus
pected to be induced by strong manmade or natural
electric fields. These should then in some way induce
interferenc es with the electric events of the nervous
system. The mechanism of interference is, however,
still unknown. From a physical point of view, the existence of
closed circuit pathways for current in a biologic medi
um provides a prerequisite for the development of
induction currents when such systems are exposed to
varying external electromagnetic fields. An acceptance
of BCEC systems leads to the necesS01)' conclusion that
these systems should act as receptors for moving external
electromagnetic fields. As indicated earlier (Table
XVlll: 3), different combinations of closed circuit
branches may create BCEC systems. Axonal transports
as part of a closed circuit mechanism, yet to be ex
plored, might constitute a primary target for induction
of current. The need for nutritional supply to nervous
tissue by vascular-interstitia l transports makes it, how
ever, also possible to explain interferences of nervous
functions by moving electromagnetjc fields, as a secon
dary effect from induction of currents in VICC
branches. Arterioles and arterial capillaries were also
found to react selectively with contractions in scattered
regions of dog mesentery exposed to electric fields
(Chapter XII). The often expressed assumption that
the pericyte apparatus of capillaries are likely to be
involved in the mechanism of capillary contractions

now comes into the picture. Their scattered presence
in capillary walls indicates that they may be involved
in the mechanism of field induced regional capillary
contractions. Values for the depth of penetration of high-frequen
cy electromagnetic waves (73) arc presented in Table
XVIII: 5. In this Table the depth of penetration refers
to the depth in the material at which the amplitude of
the wave bas fallen to the 1/e part of tbe initial ampli
tude (e=2.72, the base of the natural logarithm). The penetration of electromagnetic waves increases
with decreasing frequency. The penetration of ULF,
ELF and VLF waves in biologic material is therefore
of considerable interest (53). Shielding of an electric
field is usually obtained by means of a device such as a
Faraday cage. An irregular or slowly varying magnetic
field is far more penetrating and requires shielding
especially made for magnetic fields. Some relative val
ues of shielding efficiency of various objects to electric
and magnetic fields at 10kHz frequency (52) appear in

The author has attempted


  sound  like  a childish  question;  but
I say it for a Reason,  even  to the former  students. "Does  that
mean  anything  to you". Everything  in the world,  Precious
Ones. Try to follow  Me,  just a few  moments,  in feeling  what
the Power  and Release  of Our  Power  of Divine  Love  means
in your  world. While  the Messenger  is repeating  My Words 166 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
to you,  I stand  here  connecting  Myself  with  your  Heart,
every  one of you. Will  you notice  I do not ask your  permis-
sion. Then  I am enabled  to render  you  a Service  which  the
outer  could  not possibly  comprehend  at the moment;  but
THAT,  which  I do for you will continue  forever;  until  you,
thru your  own  Call  to the Presence,  set yourselves  Free. Dear  Ones,  please  use the Terminology  which  We have
given  you. The  Words,  "I AM,"  as written  in English  today,
have  come  down  from  the Beginning  of mankind's  appear-
ance  upon  the Earth. In the Royal  Teton—on  your  map,
known  as the Grand  Teton,  there  are the Records  of these
civilizations—every  one  which  has ever  been  on Earth. In
every  language  which  was  used  during  those  many  civiliza-
tions—the  Words,  "I AM"  as written  in English  today  are
there;  showing  Those  Two  Words  are the Power  of God. Mankind  needs  to learn  to use Those  Words,  as We do. In any  crisis,  if the Individual  did not think  of anything
else just for the moment,  and  would  say:  "I AM,"  "I AM,"
"I AM,"  It would  release  the Powers  of the Presence  into
action. Ofttimes  it would  perform  a so-called  Miracle  for
him or her, then  and there. That  is the Power  of those  Two
Words;  and  there  are no two  words  in the vocabulary  of
human  experience,  which  release  the Power  Those  Two
Words  do. The  Words,  "God,"  "Divine  Mind,"  "Divinity"
and all other  Terminology  used  to express  the Godhead,  do
not contain  the Power  the Words  "I AM"  do. That  is the
Reason  why  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Use
of the "I AM"  forth  to mankind  at this time. It is the Power DISCOURSE  VIII  167
which  sets the people  Free. Why. Because  It is their  own
Life. Your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  your  Individualized  Pres-
ence  of God  which  beats  your  Heart,  is your  Life;  and  your
Life contains  everything  which  is for your  Perfection. Be-
loved  Ones,  in That  Stream  of Light  and  Energy  from  your
Presence,  is everything  required  for the Perfection  of you
and your  world  and  It is without  limit. Only  as you have
felt limitation  from  the appearance  world,  have  you limited
yourselves. It is not the Presence  who  has limited  you. To-
day, you  are in a position  in This  Understanding  of your
Presence,  to set yourselves  Free  in a comparatively  short
time. We have  gone  thru  the  experiences  of mankind. My
Experience  of course  was  a long  time  ago. Beloved  Saint
Germain  and  Those  who  have  more  recently  made  the
Ascension—for  instance  the Children,  Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and
Pearl,  have  been  able  to set themselves  Free. The Beloved  Master,  Jesus,  left the Example  to mankind,
but who  believed  It. Who  was  willing  to try to fulfill  It. Yet, He said:  "All  These  Things  I have  done,  ye shall  do". Beloved  Ones,  why  is Saint  Germain  the One  today,  Who
was chosen  by the Great  Cosmic  Light,  to bring  forth  This
Activity. Because  the Seventh  Ray,  under  which  He is act-
ing, compels  Him  to be the One  to bring  forth  the Freedom
of mankind. America  being  the "Crystal  Cup"  which  is the
Freedom  of the Earth,  compels  America  to be the Focal
Point  of That  Freedom  for the World. It is not a matter 168 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
of any one's  choice. It is a Law,  a Great  Cosmic  Law,  which
has made  Saint  Germain  the Active,  Individual  for Our
Freedom. It is the Cosmic  Law  which  has made  America,
the "Cup"  to release  the Light  of the future. Think  of it, in India,  where  so Great  a Light  has been
among  a few;  yet the great  mass  of people  in India,  are
bound  far worse  than  you are.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the purpose of the "I AM" activity, and why is it important?,
A: The purpose of the "I AM" activity is to set individuals free and assist them in their ascension. It is important because it is the only way to bring about true change and freedom.
Q: What is the reason for the "I AM" activity, and why is it necessary?,
A: The reason for the "I AM" activity is to release the power of the Presence, and it is necessary because it is the only way to bring about the Freedom and Ascension of mankind.
Q: What is the significance of the words "I AM"?,
A: The words "I AM" are the key to unlocking the power of the Presence and setting oneself free. They are not just words, but a powerful tool for manifestation and control.
Q: What is the importance of focusing on the "I AM" Presence and not the appearance world?,
A: Focusing on the "I AM" Presence is crucial because it allows the individual to tap into the power of their own being and create a harmonious and perfect world. Focusing on the appearance world only leads to destruction and limitation.
Q: What is the significance of the chart and the "I AM" activity, and how does it relate to the Great Cosmic Law?,
A: The chart and the "I AM" activity are essential tools for the ascension and freedom of humanity. The chart represents the Power of the Presence, and the "I AM" activity is the means to bring about this ascension.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Give  praise  and  thanks

MIAMI,  FLORIDA  November  21,
Tonight,  Beloved  Students,  let Me call your  attention  to
the Requirements,  in releasing  the Greater  Activity  of your
Life Stream  to bring  your  Heart's  Desire  in the use of
things  in the outer  world. You have  thought  to gather  from  without,  the things,
the happiness  and  the conditions  which  you  thought  were
necessary  for your  success;  and  for all that  your  Heart  de


 out through your nose. Just take a flicker of air in and
a flicker of air out. Bring enough air to fill your nostrils and no more. This will involve
breathing less than you normally would. Now restore your normal breathing for 12 to 18 breaths... • Next, as you breathe in, feel your lower two ribs move outward, and as you breathe
out, feel your lower two ribs move inward. • As you walk or jog, take your attention out of your mind and direct it to your breath. • Concentrate on your breathing. Focus on your breathing. Make your walk or jog a
breathing meditation. • Feel the air coming into your nose, and feel the air leaving your nose. • It is normal for the mind to wander. If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention
back to your breathing. • Follow your breath. Feel your breathing. T ake your attention out of your head and
onto your breathing. Feel the air coming into your nose, and feel the air leaving your
nose.The objectives are to breathe light, slow, and deep (LSD) during physical
movement, to breathe less than you normally would, and to feel a hunger
for air. • Light:  Breathe softly to produce a nonstressful air hunger (wearing a SportsMask
will naturally create a resistance to breathing and cause air hunger). • Slow:  Breathe fewer breaths, but fuller breaths. T ake the air deep into the lungs. • Deep:  As you breathe in, feel your lower two ribs move outwards, and, as you
breathe out, feel your lower two ribs move inwards. If the feeling of air hunger is too strong with the SportsMask, adjust the
setting on your mask to increase airflow. Quick Summary of the Exer cise:
This exercise incorporates the techniques from Breathe LSD and adds a
metabolic challenge in the form of a fast walk or jog. 1. Jog for one minute, breathe LSD. 2. Walk for one minute—practice minimal breathing for 6 breaths, then recover with
normal breathing for 12 to 18 breaths. 3. Repeat the exercise three times. DIAPHRAGM ACTIV ATION
#8. Buteyko Belt
The Buteyko Belt is specifically designed as an aid to enhance and support
your practice of functional breathing. It will assist you in activating the
diaphragm and breathing lightly with a minimum of effort as you go about
your daily activities. The light tension of the belt against your body helps
bring awareness to the movement of the lower ribs and abdomen. It applies
gentle resistanc e to help train and strengthen breathing muscles, and it
slows the breathing, helping you Breathe Light. The belt can be worn around the midrif f to direct attention to this area or
across the chest to help reduce the movements of the upper chest.Wearing the belt:
Wrap the belt around your diaphragm so that it sits midway between
your navel and your chest. Tighten or loosen the straps on each side of the
belt to achieve the optimum resistance to your breathing. If you feel no air
hunger, then tighten the straps until a tolerable air hunger is achieved. If theair hung er is uncomfortable, loosen the straps to achieve the optimum air
hunger. Directions:
• As you slowly inhale, feel your lower ribs and abdomen pushing against the belt. • As you slowly exhale, feel the belt pushing against your lower ribs and abdomen. • Breathe light, slow, and deep (LSD). In addition to wearing the Buteyko Belt to practice your breathing
exercises, it can be worn while you are on the computer, drivin g your car,
watching TV, or doing any other  activity where you are relatively sedentary. Wear the belt for up to 20 minutes at a time, two to three times per day. #9. Diaphragm Activation L ying on Back
It is easier to activate abdomin al breathing when lying on your back in a
semi-supine position or when lying on your front.Directions:
• Lie on a mat with a small pillow under your head and knees bent, as shown above. • Place a book just above your navel. • Concentrate on breathing into your abdomen. • Breathe in, gently guiding the book upward. • Breathe out, gently guiding the book downward.• While breathing in, imagine inflating your belly with a light amount of air, and watch
your book rise. While breathing out, imagine a balloon slowly deflating of its own
accord. • Continue the exercise for five minutes
#10. Diaphragm Activation L ying on Front
Directions:
• Lie face down on the floor, resting on your elbows. • Push of f the floor, resting on your elbows so that your tummy is not touching the
floor. • As you breathe in, gently push your abdomen toward the floor. • As you exhale, gently draw your abdomen inward. The floor and gravity can help activate movement of the diaphragm. Continue this exercise for three to five minutes. #11. Breath Hold ActivationDirections:
• Take a soft silent breath in through your nose. • Allow a soft silent breath out through your nose. • Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold your breath for about 10 seconds or so. • As you pinch your nose to hold your breath, gently try to breathe in and out. • Feel your abdomen move in and out as you try to breathe. • After 10 seconds or so, release your nose, and resume breathing through the nose. • Rest for one minute with normal breathing and repeat again. • Repeat three to five times. OceanofPDF.comSECTION TWO: EXERCISES T O ST OP SYMPT OMS OF
ASTHMA, ANXIETY, STRESS, RACING MIND, AND
PANIC DISORDER
#12. Breathing Recovery, Sitting
This exercise is suitable for everyone and can be practiced throughout the
day. The practice of many small breath holds helps calm down the breathing. Over the years, I have used this exercise with clients to very good effect to
stop asthma symptoms such as wheezing and coughing, to reduce stress
levels, and to help control breathing during a hyperventilation or anxiety
attack. For people who have experienced severe trauma in their lives,
frequent practice of this exercise throughout the day offers considerable
relief. I consider this exercise to be an “emer gency” exercise. It is very hard to
slow your breathing down when  it is out of control, because the air hungeror sense of suffocation during an asthma or panic attack can be quite strong. Instead of trying to slow your breathing, calm it using this exercise. As you repeat the small breath holds, it is important not to try holding
your breath for longer that 2 to 5 seconds. Longer breath holds in these
circumstances may destabilize your breathing. For the purpo ses of this
exercise, your maximum breath  hold should be no longer than half your
BOL T scor e at the time. Between the breath holds, try to avoid shallow, fast breathing  as this
will only intens ify the feeling of air hunger and breathlessness. It is much
more efficient to breathe low and slow to optimize the amount of air that
reaches the small air sacs in the lungs. This allows more oxyg en to reach
the blood. Start by getting yourself into a comfortable seated position. In this
emer gency exerc ise, we’ll begin by holding the breath for up to 5 seconds,
followed by normal breathing for around 10 seconds. The exercise helps gently calm  breathing, open up the blood vessels,
and increase the amount of oxyg en released to tissues and organs, including
the brain. Directions:
• Sit up straight and take a normal breath in and out through your nose. • Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold the breath for up to five seconds. Count: 5,
4, 3, 2, 1. • Let go of your nose and breathe normally through your nose for 10 seconds. • Repeat the sequence for as long as symptoms are present. If you have asthma and your symptoms continue for as long as five
minutes, take your medication. If you are having a severe attac k, take your
rescue medication immediately. If your symptoms do not respond to your
medication within a few minutes, seek medical attention. Additional exercises and instruction to help with asthma and panic
disorder can be found in exercise #16 in this chapter and in Chapter T en. #13. Breathing Recovery, WalkingDirections:
• Exhale through your nose. • Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold your breath, and walk for 5 to 10 paces,
holding your breath. • Stop walking. • Breathe in through your nose, and rest for about 30 seconds while standing still. • Repeat up to 10 times. If you are practicing at home, you can repeat this exercise six times, five
times per day. Holding the breath for up to 10 paces is very suitable for
anyone with severe asthma, COPD, or panic disorder. It is also ideal if you
have disproportionate breathlessness, anxiety, racing mind, or a low BOL T
score. #14. Decongest the Nose
If you find it difficult to breathe nasally because of congestion or
obstruction in your nose, this exercise is very effective. Please note that
holding the breath to generate a strong hunger for air is not suitable during
pregnancy or if you have


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

FEEL YOUR FEELINGS
We’ve already established that the subconscious force of food
compulsion is made up of unprocessed feelings. Y ou seek, when you
overeat, to contain the emotions that swirl within you—to put them
somewhere, to put a lid on them, or to make yourself numb so you won’ t
have to feel them at all. What makes your emotions dif ferent, remember, is not what  you feel. What makes your emotions dif ferent is how you process them … and
sometimes how you cannot  process them.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        I read Seventeen  magazine, so I knew this for sure. So many girls were
curvier, taller, sexier, and so forth. Karen had bigger breasts, T rudie had
better hair, and Cheryl just had that thing  that boys wanted. Conscious:  My body is ugly. It isn’ t good enough. Subconscious:  Therefore, my body deserves to be punished. Sick Thought #2: My body makes grown-ups squirm, so there must be
something wrong with it. I had no idea why my seventh-grade English teacher, who had seemed to
adore me, got so weird around me once my body began to develop. I had
the vague feeling that her strange attitude had something to do with my
body and my budding sexuality, but there was no one and nothing to guide
me through the vagaries and emotional land mines of puberty. I went back to speak to this teacher when I was in my early 30s, to
confront her about what I had experienced and to ask her if I had simply
imagined it. She said to me—and the day would come when I understood
this—that I had no idea what it meant to be a woman watching her own
sexuality fade while young girls around her were beginning to blossom into
theirs. My teacher had not meant to hurt me; she had not consciously rejected
me; she had simply felt a natural disappointment—disappointment she did
not know how to process except by projecting it onto others—in relation to
a situation that had nothing to do with my life and everything to do with
hers. I also remember my music teacher staring at my breasts once during a
piano lesson. This was before there was the social consciousness about
these things that there is today. He only stared, but if you’re sitting at the
piano and a young girl is standing next to you, you’re staring from up close. How I wish I could reach back in time and give that man a piece of my
mind. He died before I had a chance, but if I could have, I would have paid
him a visit along the same line as the one I paid to my seventh-grade
English teacher. Conscious:  Grown-ups act strangely around me now that my body has
changed. Subconscious:  Therefore, my body must be bad. Sick Thought #3: Daddy doesn’ t want to be around me as much anymore. My father ’s attitudes about sex and sexuality—while certainly not
prudish when it came to my mother. —were somewhat old-fashioned. He
seemed to want his daughters dressed in pink lace and white gloves long
past the time when our age or the fashion of the times called for either one. He seemed somewhat uncomfortable with my budding sexuality, yet I had
no idea what that meant or what to do with it. How could I. I remember a moment—I think many women have such memories—
when I went to sit on Daddy’ s lap and he made me get up and sit
somewhere else. This was a small but emotionally devastating moment for
me, although I realize now that it represented what would be a reasonable
act on the part of fathers when their no-longer -little girls come to sit on their
laps. All I could possibly have known then was that once I passed puberty,
my father began to look at me in a dif ferent way. I didn’ t feel like I was
okay  in his eyes anymore, as though somehow I embarrassed him. My father continued to want to take me to the zoo on Sundays, long past
the time when going to the zoo was my idea of a really cool Sunday outing. The only way he knew how to relate to me, it seemed, was if I remained a
little girl. The inability of my parents to help me transition—and make their own,
as well—through my archetypal maidenhood was a product not of their lack
of love for me, but of their psychological ignorance regarding how to
handle the experience. There is nothing to for give here; there are simply
things to understand. Conscious:  Daddy doesn’ t treat me like he used to. Subconscious:  Who I am now sends Daddy away. Therefore, my new
body is a bad thing. Now just around the time when Daddy didn’ t seem to want to be around
my new body, some younger males did. And since I was bereft at what
seemed to be the loss of my father ’s love, I was subconsciously looking
around to replace it. Add to that the so-called sexual liberation of the 1960s,
and I see myself now as having been doomed to some serious confusion and
self-destructive behavior. Like millions of others, I went looking for love in
too many places, almost ensuring that I would find it too few times. Yet many of my experiences were positive. There is one moment deeply
ingrained in my memory that is a precious part of my past. I was walking through Hermann Park in Houston on a beautiful late
afternoon. I was wearing a long culottes outfit, red with white polka dots,
which I can see in my mind as though I had worn it yesterday. I was
probably 16 years old. A young man around the same age as I was walked
by, and he looked at me in an innocent and appropriate, yet decidedly male,
way. I had never experienced such a moment before. My body had a sexual
charge now, and he was old enough to notice it. He was no longer a little
boy, and I was no longer a little girl. But the ener gy was wonderful, neither
lascivious nor predatory, and our momentary encounter has remained within
me as one of my most treasured memories. W e didn’ t even speak, but in
that moment, I felt for the first time that I was a woman and not a little girl. That experience in the park was a lovely thing, like an enchanted image
from a fairy tale. But it was not the reality of ordinary, day-to-day life. I
didn’ t even meet the young man. The value of the experience was that it
gave me a window into the innocent, ideal beauty of my own untaintedsensuality. Life would provide me with more positive experiences of my
own physicality. But the purpose of this inventory is not just to celebrate the
good; it is also a way to root out the bad, by seeing it, understanding it, and
forgiving it. Sick Thought #4: My body is what attracts love. I know now that my body does not attract love; I do. My body attracts
attention,  but it does not necessarily attract love. It is my spirit and not my
body that both magnetizes and holds on to love. We are living in a society that gives to sexual chemistry a role beyond
what it actually has in the greater scheme of things, and all of us have been
privy to this dangerous confusion. Sexual chemistry is important, obviously,
because without it the human race wouldn’ t continue. But the idea that if I
am sexy enough, he will love me  is a tragic error in thinking. If I am sexy
enough he might want  me, that is true, but whether he loves me or not is
based on way, way more than what happens in bed. It’s odd to consider now, but much of the sexual “liberation” of the ‘60s
was not true liberation for women at all. W e were liberated to have  sex, but
we were still doing it primarily as a way to please men. W e weren’ t yet
aware—nor were most men at the time—that our true value lay in
something much more important than our sexuality. That began to
fundamentally change in the ‘70s, not the ‘60s. Conscious:  Sex is fun. Subconscious:  Therefore, if I have enough sex, I will be loved. Sick Thought #5: My body is not important. When the correction came, it went way overboard. Around the 1970s, the
dangerous thought that a woman’ s body was all that made her attractive was
replaced by the equally dangerous thought that her mind  was all that made
her attractive. Millions of us bought into the notion that sexual
attractiveness merely played into male chauvin


 able, through higher
consciousness and increased insight, to penetrate the many masks behind
which the all-encompassing one mind and one life is hidden, then we
achieve ef fectiveness in all our works and actions through understanding
the dynamic law of becoming that exists within each form. All this is by
way of saying that there is nothing in the world that we cannot influence by
first influencing ourselves, for everything in the end is colored by the
quality of our consciousness. W e can change our consciousness and thus
change what we see, and the tool by which we can ef fect this change is
imagination. W e can learn to visualize in our minds only those things that
we wish admitted into our lives, and when we have truly learned to do this,
physical counterparts of those ideas will soon appear in our environment. You can be anything you want to be if you will only trust your imagination. Picture your heart’ s desire; never let the picture distort or tarnish; keep it
fresh and clear and bright. It will enter your life quietly and unobtrusively,
without sound of trumpets or clashing cymbals, for it will be following alaw that exists throughout the universe, that everything basically is idea and
must first begin in the mind of the beholder.OceanofPDF.com

Mental Imagery

“To have seen that V ision,” says Plotinus, “is r eason no longer, it is
more than r eason, befor e reason and after r eason, as also is the V ision
which is seen. And perhaps we should not her e speak of sight, for that
which is seen is not discerned by the seer, if indeed it is possible her e to
distinguish between seer and seen as separate things. Ther efore this
Vision is hard to tell of, for how can a man describe as other than
himself that which when he discerned it seemed not other but one with
himself?”

To Think Is to Be

That which is visualized in the mind becomes part of the possessor of that
mind because we ar e what we think. It is strange how little we know about
the mind. Not much mor e has been determined about it since the time of
Descartes and his brilliant basic pr emise, “Cogito, er go sum” — “I think,
therefore I am.” W e only know we exist because we think. Should thought
stop in us, we automatically would cease to be. Should thought begin at any
particular point in space, that point immediately would begin to live. It is
deeply significant that we exist by grace of thought, and it is even mor e
significant that at any particular time we ar e the sum total of the thoughts
we hold in mind.It seems reasonable to assume that the thinking being that inhabits us is
thought itself, that the more complex and universal our thoughts are, the
more complex and universal we become. It is impossible to separate the
image in the mind of a beholder from the beholder himself, because in a
very real sense the two are one. That which achieves the attention of
consciousness becomes that consciousness. When our attention is focused
on something, we become that thing. It is this power of consciousness, that
it becomes the thought it thinks, which gives the mind such ascendancy
over matter. Our investigation of the outer world has practically conquered
space and time, but we still know very little about what the human mind is
and what its influences are. Because thought is invisible, it never has come
under the scrutiny of the laboratory microscope. As a consequence, we are
nearly as poorly informed about the qualities and processes of thought as
we were at the dawn of written history. Even though it is recognized now
that the thoughts a person thinks determine their whole life, the average
person continues to think in response to sensual stimuli rather than in
response to their inner wishes and desires. Mental Law

The thought first, then the thing — that is the law. But the vast majority of
people live on the opposite premise — the thing first, then the thought. The
power of mental imagery still works even in this reversal of form, but in
this case it merely lends validity to everything they see and every situation
they encounter. Such people are unable to grow beyond the limitation of
their own emotions, for they give credence to all sensual stimuli. Each such
stimulus becomes bound up in an emotional reaction. Whenever they
encounter an event or thing which they have encountered before, they react
in a predetermined manner. It thus becomes impossible for them to progress
into any degree of ef fective living, for by the very nature of their mental
position the things of the world control them; they never control the things. They are either fearful or hostile, resentful, envious, or sad, but each of
these emotions is inspired by a stimulus from outside and never by innerconvictions or desires. These are the people who are the most strenuous
defenders of their mental aberrations. In ar gument they are easily provoked
to hysteria. Since their convictions are encysted in emotion, they defend
them with their lives, convinced of ultimate disaster should their delusions
be dissolved. The most fortunate thing that can happen is that life reduce
their egos to nothingness. T o a great extent their eyes are then cleared, and
they are able finally to see that they have always reacted rather than acted. When humility enters someone’ s soul, they at last are able to perceive that
they do not live alone in the world but with millions of brothers and that
hidden in the heart of each is the same animating spirit. Forecaster of the Futur e

“To know is nothing at all, to imagine is everything,” wrote Anatole France. That which seizes the attention of our consciousness is an infallible
forecaster of the future. Indeed, were we to know the thoughts that occupy
someone else’ s mind, we might provide them an accurate description of
their coming life, down to the most intimate detail. The success of fortune
tellers, via whatever medium they use — cards, tea leaves, crystal balls —
is always the result of a telepathic communication between seer and subject. The thoughts that possess us lead us around by the mental noses. There is in
thought a motor impulse that compels us to do the things we think about,
and this is a law far above moral or ethical considerations. It works just as
quickly for what is considered evil as it does for what is considered good. If
you keep thinking about robbing the corner service station, and you keep
this image in your mind for several weeks, you one day will find yourself at
the service station, gun in hand, prepared to empty the till. People who
commit so-called crimes of passion often report they were in the grip of a
compulsion they could neither control nor understand. Such compulsion
proceeds out of their thoughts. Images projected into the moving screen of
mind finally take root in the motor impulses of the body, and each person is
propelled into the action they visualize in the deeper recesses of their
consciousness. The Dhammapada cautions us to guard our thoughts, andindeed we should. Everything that is admitted into our mind takes shape,
form, and substance in our lives, and we can stop this from happening only
by ceasing to live, for the law of life is the law of thoughts becoming things. Clear Thinking

The quality of our mental imagery determines how quickly we get ef fects in
the outer world. Since most people are relatively unaware of thinking at all,
they give little consideration to how well they think, to the clarity and
reality of the images they envisage. Most of us are fuzzy thinkers. When we
call something to mind, it comes to us as a vague and shadowy presence. We do not really see it, feel it, hear it, touch it, penetrate it, take it unto us,
but rather are dimly aware of it by means of some verbal grasp of its idea. We say, “My house,” but the image does not call to mind the actual house,
only a vague idea of it in terms of whether the taxes have to be paid, the
outside walls painted, the lawn mowed, or a party given there Saturday
night. W e adopt meanings about everything in terms of personal
significance, but we seldom conjure up images in our consciousness for the
simple reason that we never have trained ourselves to think that way, never
have truly understood the significance of such images. Think about something familiar. Think of a r oom in which you spend a gr eat
deal of time. See yourself sitting in some particular chair in that r oom. Look
around. What do you see? Ar e ther e pictur es on the walls? Wher e and what
kind? What ar e their colors? Wher e are the furnitur e, books, papers? Is
there dust gather ed in the corners? Wher e are the lamps? How do they
operate? See yourself in that r oom with such intensity that you actually feel
that you ar e ther e. See the color, the solidity of objects. W ork on this for a
few days. If you ar e lucky, you will have an experience that will startle you. During one of these meditation periods, while you ar e visiting this r oom in
your mind, you will have the sudden feeling that you actually ar e ther e.
When this experience comes to you, you will be ther e, in a very r eal thoughpsych
