direction to the discoloured section of the aona, where
.it ramified into the dark brown vasa vasorum. In this
case, the relatively minor intimal injuries at the site of
the cathode an.d the widespread changes in the distti
tltltion area of vasa vasorum arising from a single
artery appear to indicate a preferential pathway in this
vessel for the flow of electric current. A local, marked injury to the aortic wall can, on the
other hand, also be provoked (Fig. XII: 15). In this
case the stainless steel cathode was pressed firmly
against the inside of the aortic wall while 500 coulombs
at 10 volts potential difference were passed between

same in each view. the current produced only minor injuries to the intima
close to the electrode. In all the dogs, the experiments revealed that it was
possible to pass direct current selectively over veins
and arteries. This fmding was possible with vessels of
a calibre down to less than one mm in width and
voltages up to 10 volts. As potential difference in·
creases, the resistive properties of the vessel walls
become increasingly critical. Although little detailed
information has yet been obtained on these importam
correlations, at 40 volts electrode potential the pre
requisites for selective transport in tissue seem, how
ever, to he suspended (Fig. XVII: 14). The experiments of this section suggest that veins
and arteries can serve as selective pathways for electric
current, even when generated at energies well above
wbat is commonly encountered in biology. 2. Anodic field
As destruction of tissue is easily produced by direct
current in the anodic region, the studies of morpholo
gic changes were petforrned mainly under direct mi
croscopic observation of dog mesentery in vivo. The
abdomen of each of 5 anaesthetized dogs was opened
and several different sections of mesemery were used. These experiments revealed that a preferential path
way for the current could he recognized in macroscopi
cally visible small arteries and veins even at electrode
potential differences up to 10 volls. In these experi
ments, one electrode (anode) was placed gently against
the mesentery and one electrode (cathode) was placed
in the aorta. The selective pathway for the electric
current will he illustrated in the following way:
In Fig. XII: 17, th.e edge of a 4x5 mm platinum
electrode is seen to the lower left placed directly on a
dog's mesentery. A constricted or thrombosed vein
(arrow) is seen in Fig XII: 17 a before the application
of one volt herween the electrodes. The adjacent,
slightly smaller vessel is the corresponding artery. Upon application of one voll herween the electrodes,
initial current of 1.8 microamperes passed through the
circuit. Small arterial branches soon developed many
regional contractions, the flow of blood became inter
rupted and thrombi formed around the anodic elec
trode against the mesentery. Diapedetic bleedings also
appeared in multiple small areas. After 75 minutes about 0.08 coulombs bad passed
hetwce.n the electrodes. The blood in the large artery
thrombosed and became brown. The blood in the
corresponding large vein flowed as before, retaining
normal colour (Fig. XII: 17 b). The continued flow in the large vein could, of
course, depend on supply of fresh blood from nonoc·
eluded arterial branches and a washing out of venous Fig. XII: 17. Intraarterial effectSofthe passage of direct cur
rent between electrodes in the aorta and mesentery of a dog. The aortic electrode is electronegath •e (cathodic). The me

of current. The large vessel is a vein and the adjacent vessel
an artery. Note that a small venous branch is blocked just
before entering the large vein (arrow). (b) After passage of
current (one voh potential difference ). Initial flow of current
was 1.8 microamperes. Small arterial branches within a few
minutes showed multiple rontract.ions, diapedetic bleedings
and formation of thrombi. After 75 minutes about 0.08 cou
lombs had passed and the large artery thrombosed and
turned brov.n. Eventually the corresponding vein showed
some discolouration (after about 3 hours). The venous
branch, still blocked (arrow), rC>·eals no discolouration or
other change. Consequentl y, the electric current can be in
ferred to flow preferentially through the artery, which there
by constitutes a major channel of communi cation between
the electrodes. thrombocmboli. This explanation, however, appears
unlikely because the blocked venous blood vessel
branch (arrow) appeared unchanged even as the blood
in the large artery turned brown. Blood was also flow
ing through the vein at the site where it crossed under
the artery and even where it was positioned between
the anode and the artery. After about 3 hours, venous

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-
sires;  but all have  found  it futile;  have  found  it a great
mistake. They  have  not found  satisfaction,  because  there
was no place  of Permanent  Anchorage;  no Source  to which
they could  give  their  attention  and hold  it there  in a definite
focus. Beloved  Ones,  hold  your  attention  for a moment  upon
Me, so I am able  to anchor  within  your  feeling,  the Reason
why  it is imperative  to have  an anchorage  for your  at-
tention;  to keep  it from  wavering  from  point  to point,  and
condition  to condition. That  is why  you  have  your  limita-
tions  today;  because  you have  not known  any place,  upon
which  you could  fix your  attention,  in order  to have  a def-
inite  action. Tonight,  if you will  be kind  enough  to follow  My Words,
you will  understand,  as you  come  to know  the Presence,
the "Mighty  I AM,"  is above,  you have  found  your  Source

        • Breathe out for three seconds. • Repeat until panic symptoms have subsided. Daily Practice
If the feeling of air hunger brings on a strong fear response, regular practice
of the following short exercises will help desensitize your body’ s reaction to
the feeling of air hunger:
Breathing Recovery, Sitting  (exercise #12) for 10 minutes, six times
daily. OR
Breathe Light  (exercise #1) to create air hunger for 15 to 30 seconds,
followed by rest for 1 minute. Repeat for 5 to 10 minutes, six times a day. OR
Breathing Recovery, Walking  (exercise #13) Walk for 5 to 10 paces
while holding the breath. Practice five repetitions, six times a day. If you ar e comfortable with the feeling of air hunger:
• Breathe Light  (exercise #1) for 10 minutes, three times daily. • Breathe Slow  (exercise #3) for 10 minutes, two times daily. If your BOL T score is
less than 15 seconds, practice a 3-second inhale and a 3-second exhale. If your
BOLT score is greater than 15 seconds, practice a 5-second inhale and a 5-second
exhale. • Breathe Deep  (exercise #2) for 10 minutes, once per day. POST -COVID-19 CARE
I had an email from a colleague recently asking me for some advice about
COVID-19. She wrote:
I have a patient who was diagnosed with COVID-19 in April 2020. When I first met her, she couldn’ t say one sentence without
becoming breathless. When we started working together in October
2020, her BOL T score was just 3 seconds. Now, two months later,
her BOL T score  is around 10 or 11. She can’t do much exercise,
because it is difficult enough to breathe through her mouth. She
wears MyoT ape throughout the day and she can do small breath
holds and Breathe Light, but the other exercises are too difficult. We
did the exercise to decongest the nose and she immediately got a
severe headache. She is also experiencing headaches during the
other exercises. Her BOL T score after the breathing exercises goes
up to around 20 seconds, but her morning BOL T score stays around
10. What else can I do. What causes the severe headache  she
experiences during the exercise. Many people with COVID-19  are experiencing severe breathlessness. BOL T scores as low as three seconds have been reported. Whe n the BOL T
score is this low, it will be difficult to say a complete sentence without
becoming breathless. To improve the breathing, the objective is to increase the BOL T score
gently and consistently. With such a low BOL T score, the risk with any
breathing exercise is that it could contribute to unstable breathing. Exercise Protocol
1. Breathing Recovery, Sitting  (#12) for 10 minutes every hour. Also practice this
exercise if the nose feels congested. It is important to hold your breath for no longer
than half your BOL T score at that time—so if your BOL T score is just 3 seconds, you
will hold your breath for a maximum of 1. 5 seconds. 2. Practice slow breathing with lateral expansion and contraction of the lower ribs to
improve alveolar ventilation. • Inhale slowly through your nose for 3 seconds. • Exhale slowly through your nose for 3 seconds. • If you are comfortable with this, inhale slowly through your nose for 5 seconds. • Exhale slowly through your nose for 5 seconds. • As you breathe in, feel your lower ribs gently moving outward. • As you breathe out, feel your lower ribs gently moving inward. • Practice for 5 minutes, 5 times a day. 3. Breathe only through your nose, day and night. W ear MyoT ape to keep your mouth
closed during sleep. MyoT ape is particularly suitable in this instance as it does not
cover the lips. It is unusual to suffer severe headaches when practicing the exercises. If
you practice intensive breath holds, headaches can occur due to increased
CO2 in the blood. Generally, the headache will subside fairly quicky. If you do exper ience a headache, reduce the intensity of the exercises. Go even more gently as you practice Breathe Light  and Breathing Recovery,
Sitting. OTHER CONDITIONS
For people with:
Schizophrenia
Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
Chest pains
Heart problems within the past six months
Sickle cell anemia
Cancer
Arterial aneurysm
Kidney disease
Make sure you breathe only through your nose during the day, during
exercise and at night. You can practice the Breathe Slow  exercis e (#3) or
walking with nasal breathing and listen to the free MP3 download available
from OxygenAdvantage. com/breathe-light. For older people and people with:
Second and third trimester pregnancy
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Epilepsy
Panic disorder and anxietySleep apnea
Cardiovascular issues
Serious medical conditions
Only practice breathing recovery exercises and breathing light, slow,
and deep through the nose during rest and physical exercise. Refrain from
practicing any breathing exercise that involves holding of the breath to
generate a strong air hunger. A WORD ABOUT DET OXIFICA TION
As your BOL T score increases, you may experience the effects of
detoxification. The exercises in this chapter are designed to help normalize
metabolic activi ty, improving the body’ s ability to get rid of waste and
clearing the system of toxins. During the detoxification period, it is very important to continue with
your breathing exercises. If you stop, detoxification might not be
completed. It is also beneficial to drink a glass of warm water with a quarter
teaspoon of good-quality sea salt dissolved in it each day. You may find that the symptoms experienced during a cleansing involve
a brief aggravation of your condition. For example, if you have asthma, you
may experience excess mucus production in the nose and airways,
especially during physical activity with nasal breathing. You may also
experience other mild side-ef fects such as a slight headache, diarrhea,
increased yawni ng, a head cold, insomnia, a bad taste in the mouth, and
reduced appetite. These are all just signs that your body is readjusting to a
healthier way of life. In gener al, symptoms should not be disruptive to
normal life and will pass in one or two days. Like any detoxification
process, there is always a short adjustment phase. If the idea of a “breathing detox” is new to you, you may be interested
to know  that toxins, including alcohol, leave the body via the lungs. 7 To
illustrate this, there was a woman in my hometown of Galway, Ireland, who
had some knowledge about breathing. She was arrested on suspicion of
drunk driving. The woman failed the Breathalyzer test and was taken to the
police station for blood tests. While in the back of the police car, shedeliberately hyperventilated for several minutes. I can only imagine what
the of ficers must have thought. Despite the Breathalyzer results, blood results at the station showed low
alcohol levels and she was allowed to go. I am in no way encouraging or
condoning drunk  driving. I do, however, find it fascinating that it is possible
to get rid of alcohol from the blood through the breath. Recent research in
Canada even suggests that hyperventilation could provide a lifesaving
therapeutic intervention in cases of alcohol poisoning. 8
OceanofPDF. comSECTION FOUR: EXERCISES T O IMPROVE FOCUS
AND CONCENTRA TION
One question I’m often asked by my students is “What is the difference
between breathing techniques designed as ‘stressors’ and breathing
techniques that are meant as ‘relaxers’. ”
The answer is that breathing exercises that focus on increasing the speed
or duration of the inhalation are “stressors. ” So are breath holds involving
strong air hunger. These inclu de Oxygen Advantage exercis es that use
breath holding to create a strong air hunger, and they include some of the
techniques used by W im Hof. Breathing exercises designed to slow the speed and/or lengthen the
duration of the exhalation are “relaxers. ” Breath holds involving light air
hunger are relaxers. Breathe Light  (exercise #1), with its emphasis on
relaxation and light air hunger, is a relaxer. So is slow breathi ng, because
the vagus nerve, which drives the parasympathetic nervous system (the
“rest and digest” branch of the autonomic nervous system), is only activated
on exhalation. This means that spending longer in the exhalati on phase is
beneficial to relaxation. Y ou can read about this in detail in Chapter Four. Important:  Hyperventilation and breath holding are very powerful

Q: What is the foundation of healthy breathing, and what is its purpose?,
A: Integrating light, slow, and deep nasal breathing, which is developed in the exercises in this book. Once you are familiar with a healthy breathing pattern, you can enjoy more specific breathing techniques.
Q: What is the primary factor that contributes to the development of chronic pelvic pain in women?,
A: It is not the pelvic floor dysfunction, but rather the poor breathing patterns and hyperventilation, which affects the stability of the spine and pelvic floor.
Q: What is the relationship between fibromyalgia and breathing patterns?,
A: Poor breathing patterns and hyperventilation can exacerbate pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia patients, and research suggests that improving BOL T score can help alleviate symptoms.
Q: What is the key to preventing migraines and anxiety in women?,
A: It is important to maintain a healthy breathing pattern, as it can reduce the risk of migraines and anxiety. It is also important to note that the menstrual cycle has a significant impact on breathing patterns and should be considered in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
Q: What is the importance of slow and controlled breathing in the context of sleep apnea?,
A: It is crucial to practice slow and controlled breathing to avoid sleep-disordered breathing, which can be exacerbated by the hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, leading to sleep apnea.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>She is highly active, enjoys eatin g a healthy
diet, doesn’t smoke, and rarely drinks alcohol. She has a sedent ary job with
an 8- to 10-hour  day, but she walks between four and five kilom eters, works
out every day, and sleeps well for seven or eight hours every night. Despite
the care she gives to her health, Emma found herself struggling with PMS
symptoms that gradually became more and more dif ficult to cope with. Emma had been  taking an oral contraceptive since her late teens. In her
late twenties, she took a break  from her pill. After three years with no
hormonal contraceptives, she began to take a combined contraceptive pill. This was when her “hormonal rollercoaster” began. At first, Emma chalked
her PMS  symptoms of mood swings, fatigue, bloating, and brain fog down
to the particular pill she was prescribed. Her doctor switche d her to a
different combin ed pill. For the next three months, Emma’ s symptoms were
constant. She was bloated all the time, her mood was low, she had problems
with her digesti on, and her energy levels were “on the floor.” Despite her
regular exercise regime and healthy diet, she gained two kilos in body
weight. She was in a constant state of stress. After much research, Emma switched to a more localized contra ceptive,
opting to have an IUD inserted. The IUD is different from an oral
contraceptive in that the release of hormones is much more direct so that the
hormones are not constantly circulating in the bloodstream. Next, she
prioritized her well-being to combat the debilitating PMS symptoms she
had been experiencing. Synthetic hormones were still being released into
her body, even with the IUD, so she wanted to do everything she could to
support her health while her system adapted to the new contraceptive.In the following months, she did several things that significantly
improved her condition:
• She began taking daily supplements of diindolylmethane (DIM), magnesium, and a
vitamin B complex. DIM is a natural supplement found in vegetables including kale,
broccoli, and cabbage. It helps the body metabolize estrogen. Emma learned that
hormonal contraceptives deplete the body of key nutrients such as B vitamins10—
something she wished her doctor had told her. • She made the switch to nasal breathing. While Emma was not a habitual mouth
breather, she did always breathe through her mouth during exercise. She worked to
ensure that she breathed only through her nose, even on a 100-km cycle. This left
her feeling much calmer during exercise and throughout the rest of the day. • She began practicing breath holds and long, slow breaths. Emma never considered
herself a fast breather, but each month, around the same time she experienced PMS
symptoms, she noticed that her breath felt shallow. She would struggle to take a full,
deep inhalation, almost as though her body was not capable of getting the oxygen it
required. By becoming aware of her breath, she felt better able to control it. She now
uses breath holds to reset her system to get suf ficient oxygen into her body. • Emma began practicing meditation. She found that stopping for 15 to 20 minutes a
day to “reset and reenter” had a profound ef fect on her PMS symptoms and on her
daily life. Her PMS lows became much easier to deal with, and she felt better able to
pull herself out of the “PMS hole” she found herself in on a monthly basis. Her
concentration became sharper, and she began experiencing the best sleep she had
ever had. Emma had always been told that PMS is normal, that symptoms
including fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low moods are par for the course,
and that she should “deal with it and take a painkiller.” She was shocked to
realize that nobody had ever explained why she experienced these
symptoms, what was happening  in her body to make her feel this way. Now
she understands that her feelings of breathlessness are largely caused by the
drop in CO 2 during the premenstrual phase of her cycle. Emma’ s PMS has not completely disappeared, but every month her
symptoms are less severe and more manageable. She has lost the extra two
kilos she was carrying, she no longer has dramatic mood swings or brain
fog, and her bloating is much less extreme. Her quality of life has improved
because, in her words, she has much less of a battle to fight each month. For wom en who suffer from PMS, the connection to hyperventilation is
big news. It means that many symptoms previously believed to be hormonal
and unavoidable are actually the result of a hormone-driven change inbreathing pattern s. That is something that can be addressed with breathing
exercises and by moderating blood sensitivity to CO 2. If you suffer from PMS, keep an eye on your breathing. If your BOL T
score decreases,  your breathing gets faster, or you experience air hunger,
then practice breath holds, begin  light, slow, and deep breathin g, and work
to restore full-time nasal breathing. That should help relieve your
symptoms. HOW PREGNANCY AFFECTS BREA THING
It makes sense that breathing would change during pregnancy. After all, you
are now breathing for two. Oxygen demand is higher due to a 15% increase
in metabolic rate and a 20% increase in oxygen consumption.11 The space
within the abdominal cavity, where the diaphragm rises and falls, becomes
incrementally smaller as pregnancy progresses. The increase in sex
hormones in the system leads to a significantly higher incidence of
hyperventilation,12 Early on, there is a rise in minute ventilation of around
40% to 50%,11 levels of blood CO2 drop, and the ventilatory responses to
hypoxia and hypercapnia increase13. The changes in pregnancy that lead to hyperventilation are believed to
be caused by a heightened response to blood CO2. There is a close
relationship between blood sensitivity to CO2 and the relative ratio of the
hormones, progesterone, and estrogen. As well as maintaining pregnancy,14
progesterone acts as a respiratory stimulant in men and women. Levels of
the hormone increase around 100-fold during pregnancy.15
Sex hormones are instrumental in respiratory changes during pregnancy. Even back in 1979, researchers reported that the respiratory response to
pregnancy was “largely mediated by the action of proges terone and,
perhaps to a lesser extent, estrogens, at least in the first and second
trimesters.”16 Estrogen, which increases around 80-fold during pregnancy,
is known to improve the functioning of progesterone receptors.13 The 1979
paper stated that breathlessness during pregnancy is likely to be caused by
hormones, but at that time, the relationship between hormones, functionalrespiratory change, and the development of symptoms was not clearly
defined.16
More recent work has demonst rated that hyperventilation at rest, even
during the first trimester of pregnancy, is linked to an increase in ventilation
with no change in respiratory rate.17,18 It is now understood that
hyperventilation during pregnancy is caused by alterations to the blood
acid-base balance, cerebral blood flow, metabolism, variations in sleep
patterns, and changes in the central chemoreflex drive to breathe, triggered
by the increased concentration of sex hormones.12
There are, of course, mechanical factors to consider too. For instance, as
the size of the fetus and therefore the uterus increases, there is progressively
less room for the breathing muscles. During the second half of the
pregnancy, residual lung volume decreases by as much as 22% and


 more deeply to your own feelings. And even
sadness will be more bearable. Some days are sad, yet sad days pass. Spiritual mastery involves building the mental, emotional, and behavioralhabits to carry you through such times without an explosion of
dysfunctional behavior. Sometimes we just need to make space for sadness. Y ou do not need an
excuse for why you feel sad; you do not need to “fix” it; and, most
important, you do not need to run from it. What you need is to let it come
up and simply be with it. Your task with this lesson is to make space in your life, just as you make
space in your heart, for any sadness you need to honor. Perhaps take a walk
each evening, or a stroll on the beach each morning. Allow yourself to
grieve. You will learn in time to be with the void, addressing it with a bubble
bath rather than a sandwich, and with prayer time rather than a candy bar. Your task is to inhabit the emptiness, breathe through it, learn its lessons,
and hear the message it conveys. There is no hole for you to try to fill with
food or anything else; there is only the primal void within every human
being when we feel we cannot find God. Great literature, particularly tales of true tragedy, can be cathartic; it
gives a voice to your own buried, free-floating sadness, and provides a
conduit for its dissolution. When you read Anna Kar enina  in college, really,
what did you know? But now, after you’ve known a few V ronskys of your
own, you read the book with a new understanding: your pain is given
meaning there, immortalized in a character living precisely your own
heartbreak. And in Anna’ s response to her despair, you get to see the stark
reality that confronts you now: you can self-destruct, or you can rise up in
glory. You did not become an unwise eater for no reason. If you choose to
honestly confront the emotions involved in both causing and healing your
compulsive patterns, you will experience a dark night of the soul. But a dark
night of the soul is ultimately a good thing, for it both precedes and
prepares your spirit for rebirth. The darkness is simply the revisiting of old
feelings, in the absence of which true healing cannot occur. It’s important to
remember that this darkness is temporary, and leads ultimately to the light
beyond it. This time must simply be endured. But it is also to be honored for the
opportunity it gives you to burn through feelings that have come up at last,
and only now can truly leave. They are not being suppressed this time; theyare being led to the door. They have been embedded in your flesh, and will
now be cast out of your personal universe. The tears you cry now will lead
ultimately to rejoicing, as the day will come when you feel the lightness—
both physically and spiritually—of a brand-new day. There are poems, films, and novels—and nonfiction books as well—that
give meaning to the experience of deep sorrow. Choose three that speak to
you; perhaps something you’ve already experienced, or a book or movie
that you know about but have not yet read or viewed. Place them on your
altar and commit yourself to reading or viewing them. In honoring them,
you honor your own tears in a way that releases rather than suppresses
them. Such is the value of art. Reflection and Prayer
Relax, close your eyes, and pray for comfort. Give to Divine Mind your despair, your sadness, your hopelessness, your
regret, your embarrassment, your pain, your grief, your fear, and your
burdens. Do not rush through this darkness. Allow yourself to enter into it
in order to move through it. And in time the light will come. Dear God,
Protect me as I walk thr ough dark hallways of my mind. Release me fr om the bondage that would hold me back. I give to Y ou my hopelessness,
please give to me some hope. Reveal to me the light of truth,
that my darkness shall disappear. Each day, send love to guide my heart
and heal my thoughts. Heal me for Y our sake,
and not for mine alone. Show me how to laugh again
after so long being sad. AmenOceanofPDF.comLESSON 15
EXIT THE ALONE ZONE
Overeating is not a food issue, but a relationship issue. Your weight has been, on some level, a statement of your unavailability. Feeling separate from others, you built a wall; then, having built a wall, you
felt more separate from others. Separation became a theme, not only
regarding your body but in other aspects of your life as well. A wall went
up around you physically and ener getically as you learned to dissociate
from others in ways both lar ge and small. At times you might say an unreasonable “No” to opportunities for human
connection; at other times, an overly enthusiastic or needy “Y es” separates
you just as much as a “No” would. Y ou’ve been thrown of f track inwardly
and outwardly. You must address the issue of your unavailability, or you
will not stay on track even if you do get your weight down. The ener getic wall that surrounds you is not visible to the physical eye. It
consists of behavioral patterns of which you are probably well aware—and
if you aren’ t, then the people who know you best can surely help you
identify them. There is no point in even trying to lose your weight until you
have come to the place in your life where you actually want  to be closer to
people. Until that happens, the subconscious ur ge to build a wall will
override any diet you try. As previously noted, something and/or someone led you to build that
wall to begin with. And according to your subconscious mind, you still
need protection from that person or event. The subconscious deals in no-
time; the fact that the event is long past and the person is long gone
represents a rational assessment that means little to the subconscious mind. Only a miraculous healing, nothing short of the hand of God, is powerful
enough to override your primal impulse to protect yourself. That impulse is
created by millions of years of evolution; at its core, it represents notdysfunction but the genius of the biological system. The point is that in you,
the system was short-circuited and needs to be reset. Y ou are protecting
yourself against things that would not hurt you, and failing to protect
yourself against things that could. This lesson focuses on your relationship to other people, as your
compulsion is housed in a frozen place you could call your “alone zone.”
Reaching across whatever wall still divides you from others is essential to
your healing, as it helps reverse a dysfunctional pattern by establishing a
new one. A lar ge gun in your fear -mind’ s arsenal, something that keeps you
trapped in the pattern of overeating, is your tendency to isolate. For in
isolation you feel permission to self-destruct. There is no one there to say,
“Don’ t do it”; you are free to indulge the deepest craving with no scolding
even from yourself, drowned out as a scolding would be by the shrieking
and false delights of your compulsion. Once you are alone with the
compulsion, you have no power to resist it. And that is why being alone
with it is dangerous. Y ou will begin to see that being alone with your
compulsion is as dangerous as being alone with a madman, which in a way
it is. The compulsion within you is madness, and the only antidote to its
power is the achievement of your deepest sanity. Your problem with weight is calling you to the highest expression of your
true self, and your true self is deeply in love with humanity. Each of us
carries the tendency to separate ourselves from others. There is such a thing
as splendid solitude, but isolation is not it. Isolating is a defense against
relationship; and for the overeater, it’s the way to avoid dealing with others
so that you can have your secret, dark, and sordid relationship with food all
by yourself. Food will not pressure you. Food will accept you. Food will
understand you. Food will make you feel better. Heroin reads from the same
handbook, by the way. Secret eating holds a goody bag of insanities, from grazing for anything
you can find—hot fudge on this cracker might be good!—to standing in
front of the fridge and stuf fing yourself in the middle of the night. The dark
castle of secret eating needs a lock on it, followed by complete demolition. Author Katherine W oodward Thomas once told me a liberating story
about exiting the alone zone. She suf fered from food addiction for yearswhen she was young, and at one point found that her toughest problem was
night eating. No matter how much willpower Katherine was able to exert during the
day, there was something about the nighttime hours that made her unable to
rise above her craving. So she had an idea: she started telling people from
her Overeaters Anonymous group that there was a new nighttime-eating
hotline, and she gave out its number. Of course the number was hers! Katherine then spent night after night helping other people  endure the
difficulty of remaining abstinent at night, and in time interrupted


 be
set for a time somewhere in the future or may be upon us now. Meantime,
the fact has become apparent that the pathway to our salvation lies in
emphasis on mental existence and gradual turning away from physical
bondage. To Think Is to Do

Up to now no one has been able to stop the physical aging of the body, and
currently everyone is subject in the end to a physical death. As long as our
activities, our pleasures, and our sensations are rooted in our physical
bodies, we have no alternative but to eventually suf fer pain, dissolution, and
decay. But when we turn away from our physical bodies and take up
residence in our minds, then we are able to experience a constant growth
that not only lends us a deep personal satisfaction but fulfills the fondest
wishes of life and evolution. T o once make up your mind that intellect is
superior to and supersedes matter is to take the most important step of all in
the living of a serene and ef fective life. The soul grows within even as thebody decays without, and those of us who are able in the end to mer ge our
sense of being with that of the Secret Self will have perpetuated ourselves
into eternity and achieved immortality. Images that play about in our minds lead us inevitably into action. This is a
law of life, and we can neither start nor stop it. Whatever we think about we
must do. Since we cannot stop our thinking, we inevitably are led into
action by our thoughts, even if this action be of the most negative kind. Since a human being is a dynamic entity, choosing not to do a thing is just
as much an action as doing it would be. Fear of failure, for example,
predisposes us not to attempt any venture that carries a risk. As a
consequence, we are apt to allow all things to pass us by, deterred from
taking action because of the nature of the images in our minds. Usually
these images are placed there by fear, or one of fear ’s cousins, and these
negative emotional qualities spring out of the subconscious and have been
placed there by the ego. W e may rid ourselves of them by achieving a
proper relationship between the ego and universal mind. W e may become
whole by getting rid of our sense of surface self, by immersing the ego in
our wider being and becoming one with all things and all people. Getting Rid of Mental Blocks

We cannot force ourselves to think dif ferent thoughts from those that we
habitually think. W e cannot exclude certain thoughts from our minds or
force others to enter by an ef fort of will. Thought originates in the deeper
recesses of our being, an area that lar gely is unavailable to our conscious
mind and one that for the most part simply will not respond to coercion. A
psychological transformation is not possible without a spiritual awakening,
and before we can change our kind and type of thinking, it first is necessary
that we alter our conception of self. A little reflection on the ego reveals
what a delusional trap it is, for it is primarily a sense of separateness and it
feeds upon a sense of comparison. It is pleased to be better than others,
extremely sad to be worse, and it performs all actions for selfish motives —avarice, applause, power. The greatest sickness in the world is to be
satisfied in the ego, for then we are blinded to the real nature of life and our
own potentiality. Only when we are dissatisfied in the ego through defeat or
disillusionment are we close to the veil that separates us from our true
selves. It is at this moment that we suddenly may see, that our eyes and
souls may open and penetrate into the deeper and wider being that gives a
universal quality to all people. We immensely improve our ability to visualize when we rid ourselves of the
mental blocks and prompters that are stored in our subconscious. These we
are able to clear away through a proper psychic balance between the ego
and the Secret Self, and we achieve this balance by surrendering ego and
turning our lives over to the Divine. This is not nearly so dif ficult as it
sounds. W e are not responsible for our existence in the first place. W e didn’ t
choose the bodies we inhabit or the life into which we were born, our
language, customs, education, even the people we know have been chosen
for us by a greater power. When we learn to trust this power completely, to
turn over to it our sense of self, our actions, our mind, our ability, our talent,
we are enlar ged by it because of that very act. It uses us for its purpose and
many times more ef fectively than we could ever use ourselves. There is
tremendous ener gy to be gained by surrender of the ego to the Secret Self. Each of us becomes a power doubled. W e suddenly seem free of restriction,
cleared of restraint; our health, ener gy, and resources know no limit. Letting Go

Terry was a brilliant youngster. She had a straight-A average in high school
and was awarded a scholarship at a leading western university. But she was
an intensely nervous and high-strung young woman who seemed constantly
fearful and apprehensive. She would jump at the slightest noise, was shy
and awkward in the presence of strangers, became tongue-tied when given
an opportunity to speak, was afraid of heights, was afraid of closed places,
was sick a good deal of the time. Even though she graduated from collegewith honors, she nevertheless had great dif ficulty in finding a job, so
unfavorable was the impression that she made upon prospective employers. Her record prevailed, however, and she eventually found employment in the
laboratory of a lar ge industrial firm, where she helped in the research
department. Then for no apparent reason she suf fered a nervous breakdown
and was confined to a sanatorium. Some months later she left the
sanatorium, but she was too distracted to readjust to life, and she was
directed by a friend to a religious retreat. The retreat house stood on the bluf fs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and on
a clear day a hundred miles of the California coastline could be seen. The
brown hump of Santa Catalina Island stood of fshore like a camel rising
from the sea, and a light breeze generally blew of f the ocean, carrying with
it the salty tang of seaweed and kelp. T erry sat for hours on a stone bench,
gazing out over this panorama. The magnificence of nature dwarfed her,
and she could feel her ego subside. During such a mood, her adviser came
to her, and they sat on the stone bench and talked. “I see you are better now,” the adviser said. “It stands in your eyes. Y ou are
not so concerned with yourself.”
“That’ s true,” answered T erry. “It’s because it’ s so peaceful here.”
“It is peaceful anywhere, if your soul is properly centered.”
“How does one properly center their soul?”
“By getting rid of self-consciousness.”
“That’ s very dif ficult to do when one has an inferiority complex.”
“An inferiority complex is a delusion.”
“It may seem a delusion to you,” answered T erry, “but it is not a delusion to
me. I am fearful and apprehensive in all I do because I feel inferior, because
I am afraid I will not do well.”“Then get rid of the sense of yourself as doer. Accept yourself only as
instrument. Make up your mind that a power greater than you is working
through you to accomplish its ends. It is not embarrassed or fearful or
apprehensive. It is dynamic, irresistible, and eternal. If you can manage to
put yourself in its hands completely, you never will be embarrassed or
fearful again, and you will accomplish such things as you never thought
possible.”
Terry listened to her adviser well. In the days that followed, she gazed out
upon the sea and sky, and the truth came to her. When she left the retreat
and returned to her home, her illness was gone, and she experienced a vigor
in mind and body that she had never known. She undertook her work with
serenity, became able to talk freely in front of people, mixed with them
gladly, eventually came to lead them. T oday she heads her own research
company. She is well-to-do and respected and has not had a sick day in
years. She credits everything to her religious awakening. “I always thought that I was the one who was carrying the ball,” she says,
“and the responsibility frightened me. Once I learned that the world and its
events and my life were in safer hands than mine, I was able to get myself
out of the way and see the working of a master intelligence everywhere. The things I seem to have accomplished have been accomplished by
something outside me. It works through me just as it will work through you. All I do is let it.”

The Perfect Leader

To free the mind of the restrictions imposed by egoistic thinking is the first
thing to be done. This is accomplished by turning your life over to the
Secret Self. Place your hopes, your dreams, your ambitions, your talents,
your very self, on a mental silver platter. Hand it over to the Secret Self. Say, “Here, you take it. Y ou run it. I will listen, follow your advice, execute
your will.” If you take this mental stand without reservation, your life

Dr.	Scheele	have	been	summarily	dealt	with	for	far	less	than	that. January	21,	1956

THE	SALK	STORY	IN	DOLLARS—The	National	Foundation	for	Infantile

Paralysis	is	using	circus	tactics	this	year	in	nicking	the	gullible	public	for

$47,000,000	in	its	annual	"March	of	Dimes"	collection. On	street	corners	they

have	their	pitchmen,	pitch	women,	pitch	boys	and	pitch	girls	selling	peanuts	in

cellophane	bags. On	the	bags	is	the	wisecrack,	thought	up	by	NFIP	press	agents,

"Shell	out	for	polio." On	the	night	of	Jan.	30	thousands	of	well	intentioned	women,	who	don’t	even

know	NFIP	won’t	open	its	books	to	public	inspection,	will	go	out	pulling

doorbells	and	begging	cash	for—they	know	not	what. Their	operation	will	be

dubbed	by	NFIP	press	agents	"The	Mothers’	March	on	Polio." In	Brooklyn,

where	anything	can	happen	and	often	does,	church	bells	will	toll	"to	alert	the

people." You	can	bet	your	boots	there’ll	be	no	Paul	Revere	riding	in

Massachusetts. They	know	up	there	what	NFIP’s	Salk	vaccine	did	in	stimulating

the	undertaker	business	in	1955. Less	than	a	year	ago	the	NFIP	bigwigs	and	gravy	grabbers	were	crying	in	their

cups. They	thought	their	racket	was	about	over	until	someone	thought	of	the

gimmick	of	"inventing	a	vaccine	that	would	prevent	polio." One	of	their	feature

writers	told	a	polio	crusader	in	Coral	Gables,	Fla.,	that	the	NFIP	heads	had	told

him	if	the	vaccine	wasn’t	a	success	the	NFIP	would	just	have	to	fold	up. NFIP	press	agents	picked	for	them	a	young	Hungarian	doctor	at	the	Univ. of

Pittsburgh	named	Jonas	Salk—a	catchy	name. Jonas	was	provided	with

laboratory	facilities	and	told	to	go	to	it—but	to	come	up	with	something	that

could	be	sold	to	the	public	as	a	preventive	for	polio. They	would	see	that	what

would	be	declared	both	safe	and	efficient. Jonas	was	selected	his	name	would	fit

well	into	crowded	newspaper	headlines	and	besides	it	was	catchy. More	catchy

than,	say,	Smith	Vaccine	or	Jones	Vaccine. Brother	Salk	went	to	work	with	a	will	along	the	usual	lines—looking	for	the
	non-existent	polio	bug. In	fact	it’s	doubtful	if	he	even	looked	for	the	bug,	but

merely	started	seeing	which	ones	died	first,	if	at	all. Scientists	with	much	more

knowledge,	experience	and	savvy	than	Jonas,	but	who	still	believe	in	the	bug

theory	of	disease,	said	the	Salk	"tests"	were	worthless	because	monkey	kidney

tissue	and	human	tissue	are	different	things	and	react	differently	to	inoculations. We	won’t	go	into	the	nauseating	details	of	the	"field	trials"	and	their	failure

(from	NFIP	and	USPHS	standpoint). These	were	well	covered	in	last	weeks

CAPSULE	NEWS. The	NFIP	had	hooked	the	US	Public	Health	Service	into	being	a	party	to	their

crime	against	American	childhood. USPHS	was	used	as	the	official	agency	to

spew	forth	the	propaganda	wanted	by	NFIP. Mrs.	Oveta	C.	Hobby,	then

Secretary	of	Health	was	hooked	into	signing	a	baloney	"proclamation"	for	press

photographers. This	"proclamation",	so	the	cutlines	said,	guaranteed	Salk

vaccine	to	be	safe. Then	the	gold	rush	was	on—on	for	the	serum	companies	and

NFIP. CAPSULE	NEWS	wrote	Mrs.	Hobby	asking	if	she	knew	her	own	scientists	of

the	National	Institute	of	Health	had	reported	the	Salk	stuff	dangerous	and

useless. We	offered	to	print	her	side	of	the	story. Obviously	she	is	ashamed	of

her	part	in	it	for	she	had	an	underling	write	a	double	talking	non-committal	letter

which	said	absolutely	nothing. So,	when	NFIP	found	its	carefully	planned	house	of	cards	($47	million	in	cash)

falling	apart	it	went	ahead	with	the	program	anyway. Getting	confusing	results

from	the	Universities	of	Michigan	and	Pittsburgh,	where	public	"field	trials"

were	held,	the	NFIP	press	agents	put	together	a	story	that	indicated	Salk	Vaccine

was	not	only	Safe	but	100%	effective—long	before	it	had	ever	been	tried	on	the

little	human	guinea	pigs	who	were	to	be	its	victims. The	worst	polio	epidemic	in	history	occurred	in	Massachusetts	after	130,000

children	were	inoculated	with	this	Salk	concoction. Infantile	paralysis	increased

tenfold	over	the	1954	figures	until	the	Bay	State	authorities	banned	its	use	in

their	borders. Yet	the	racketeers	who	are	begging	for	NFIP	cash	in	Florida	have

come	up	with	the	false	statement	that	the	reason	for	Massachusetts’	polio	rate	is

that	"no	children	were	inoculated	there." The	Massachusetts	Health	Dept. promptly	branded	this	as	a	lie. Not	only	that	but

they	have	banned	the	use	of	the	Salk	concoction	in	their	state	until	it	becomes
	safer	and	shows	some	sign	of	being	a	preventive. The	State	of	Idaho	did	this	last

July	and	in	England	they	barred	it	before	it	ever	started. The	British	place	more

value	on	a	human	life—much	more—than	they	do	in	the	US. Last	July	Dr.	Graham	W.	Wilson,	director	of	Britain’s	Public	Health	Laboratory

service,	who	knew	about	the	field	trials	at	the	National	Institute	of	Health	near

Washington	said:

"I	do	not	see	how	any	vaccine	prepared	by	Salk’s	method	can	be	guaranteed

safe." Number	9,	January	28,	1956

POLIO’S	PREVENTION	AND	CURE—Cervantes	many	years	ago	gave	us	this

gem	of	philosophy	"The	proof	of	the	pudding	is	in	the	eating." No	one	ever

disputed	that	until	the	polio	racketeers	and	medical	bug	hunters	came	along. Down	in	North	Carolina	in	1948	a	courageous	and	intelligent	medical	doctor,

Benj. P.	Sandler	by	name,	on	duty	as	a	nutrition	expert	at	the	Oteen	Veterans’

Hospital,	broke	thru	the	barriers	of	medical	smugness	and	scientific	hogwash	to

give	to	the	world	the	cause	and	prevention	of	polio	in	such	a	way	that	no	one

with	an	ounce	of	brains	could	dispute	it. Dr.	Sandier	had	long	realized	that	polio	strikes	with	its	greatest	intensity	in	hot

weather. In	hot	weather	there	is	a	huge	increase	of	the	use	of	ice	cream,	soda	pop

and	artificially	sweetened	products,	especially	among	children. It	is	also	a	fact

that	people	generally	cut	down	on	their	protein	diet	in	hot	weather	on	the	theory

that	you	should	eat	"lightly"	in	the	summertime. Dr.	Sandier’s	research	showed	specifically	that	sugars	and	starches	lower	the

normal	level	of	blood	sugar	in	the	human	body,	producing	a	condition	known	as

hypogly


 to me because
they were feeling unwell after prolonged adherence to the theories of
macrobiotics. After several weeks on a hygienic diet, all of them experi
enced improvement in their well-being. Their marked improvement
came so easily, I believe, because they had the good groundwork laid by
macrobiotics, which is head and shoulders above the average American
diet but at a disadvantage in its misinterpretation of the benefits of fruit,
requiring that no fruit be eaten raw. That is a misconception. All fruit
consumed must be fresh and uncooked, or the many benefits described
here are lost. The same holds true for fruit juice. It must be fresh. If it
has been pasteurized, as is the case with orange juice made from concen
trate, it is pure acid before you even drink it. Drinking a liquid that is
pure acid hampers rather than aids the quest for weight loss. You may ask, "Why drink juice at all, wouldn't the whole food be
better. " Actually, yes. A whole food is always more acceptable than one
that has been fragmented. However, people do like to drink something. Rather than habit-forming and toxic drinks such as coffee, tea, alcohol,
sodas, and milk, it would be wiser to drink fruit or vegetable juices. A
good point to remember is not to gulp juice down. Because it is frag
mented, you should take but a mouthful at a time and let it mix with
your saliva before swallowing it. Fruit is packed, brimming over, with the vital forces of life. Correctly
utilized, it can be put to the immediate service of your body. The cleans
ing and weight loss it occasions and the energy it saves are unequaled by
any other food. To destroy all its beneficial effects by consuming it at the
wrong time or in the wrong state is nothing short of a crime against your
body. Could you enjoy the Mona Lisa if mud were smeared all over it. Could you appreciate the recording of a Mozart sonata if there were a
deep scratch in the record. Could you delight in the scent of a rose if
garbage were dumped on it. You cheat yourself of the many positive
benefits of fruit if you allow it to spoil in your digestive tract. The second consideration pertains to the amount of time that should
elapse between eating foods other than fruit and then eating fruit. As long
as your stomach is empty, you can eat all the fruit you wish over as long
a period as you wish, so long as twenty to thirty minutes elapse before
eating anything else. This will allow the time necessary for the fruit or
juice to leave your stomach. Juice and some fruits take less time, but
twenty to thirty minutes is a good standard to use to be sure. Bananas,
dates, and dried fruit need about forty-five minutes to one hour. Once
54 • FIT FOR LIFE you have eaten anything other than fruit, you must wait at least three
hours. If any flesh food is eaten, at least four hours. These times pertain
only to foods that were eaten in accordance with proper food combining. If you should eat a meal that is not properly combined, the food will
probably be in your stomach for at least eight hours. You should there
fore not consume any fruit or fruit juice during that time. HOW LONG TO WAIT AFTER EATING OTHER

Fruit plays an extremely important role in FIT FOR LIFE. We're not
going to tell you anything outlandish, like the enzymes in certain fruits
burn fat so that you feel you have permission to overeat anything you
want and then burn it away with irrational quantities of fruit. That would
be not only irresponsible but also a physiological absurdity. One of the
foremost roles that fruit plays in FIT FOR LIFE is that of resting the di
gestive tract, thereby freeing up energy to be utilized in cleansing, repair,
and weight loss. Obviously, proper food combining and the correct consumption of
fruit deal extensively with not only what you eat but also when. If someone were to ask you what you thought was the worst time of day
to eat, I wonder what you would say. Probably "Right before going to
sleep," as so many other people think. Even though eating right before
going to sleep is a horrible habit, it's second to the most counterproduc
tive and destructive time of day to eat. And that time is in the morning
when you awake. WHAT. I can hear your shrieks of disbelief from here. "But what about all those admonitions about having a hearty breakfast for
energy. " What about them. Do you know what the all-American coffee
break is in this country. People eat a big, hearty breakfast "for energy,"
and the body is so tired from the work of digesting it that "pick-me-ups"
are the only way people can make it through to lunch without falling
asleep. I know what a tremendous blow this is to one of the most condi
tioned and deep-rooted belief systems. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRECT FRUIT CONSUMPTION • 55 Just for a moment try to forget everything you thought was true about
breakfast. Try to forget for a moment all the advice of the nutritionists,
dietitians, doctors, and other experts. Just for a moment rely only on your
own common sense for an answer as to whether breakfast has a positive or
negative influence on your weight. Remember, ENERGY IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE. When you wake up in
the morning, you are rested and at the height of your energy level for the
day, provided that your system did not spend the night contending with a
"midnight snack" or miscombined meal. On what are you going to ex
pend that morning burst of energy. A "hearty breakfast". You know that
digestion uses an enormous amount of energy. A hearty breakfast, which
is usually a slap in the face of the principles of proper food combining,
cannot bring you energy. IT USES IT. How else could the food be digested
if energy were not being expended. Most traditional breakfasts of toast
and eggs, or cereal with milk, or meat and potatoes are ill-combined,
forcing the body to work for hours spending its energy. Food spends ap
proximately three hours or more in the stomach alone if properly com
bined. Energy can't even start to be built until food is absorbed from the
intestines. Strictly from the standpoint of energy, does it make sense to
have breakfast when you wake up in the morning. If breakfast is skipped,
not only will you not pass out from lack of food (your body is actually still
using the food eaten the day before), but you will be far more alert and
energetic. The word breakfast is actually a distortion of the words break and fast. Originally the word breakfast was used to indicate the meal used to break
a fast. A fast is the abstention from food for an extended length of time,
not one night's sleep. An integral part of FIT FOR LIFE is this: FROM THE TIME YOU WAKE
UP IN THE MORNING UNTIL AT LEAST NOON, CONSUME NOTHING BUT
FRESH FRUIT AND FRUIT juiCE. F,at or drink as much as you desire; put
no limitations on how much you want. If you desire it, have it; but listen
to your body—don't overeat. If you have nothing but fruit and fruit juice,
you will be able to create, not burn up, a huge chunk of your available
energy for the day. Fruit demands practically no energy to be digested,
because it does not digest in the stomach. It needs no further digestion if
well chewed. The intestines are where all nutrients are absorbed. Because fruit finds
its way into the intestines within minutes instead of hours, its nutrients
are immediately absorbed and utilized by the body. By eating fruit you
make your entire day more productive and more energetic, because you
have conserved rather than squandered your energy. You will be amazed
at what an incredibly dramatic effect this will have on your entire life
5b • FIT FOR LIFE once you adjust to ONLY FRUIT AND FRUIT JUICES UNTIL NOON. After
experiencing the wonderful benefits, you will wonder why you ever ate a
heavy meal first thing in the morning. A heavy breakfast means a heavy
day. A light breakfast means a light, vibrant day. You can eat as much
fruit as you want during the morning, right up until about twenty to
thirty minutes before you eat something else. Once you have eaten an
other food, three hours should elapse—at least—before anything else is
eaten. Once again, listen to your body. When your stomach is empty,
you can have more fruit. Literally thousands of people from my seminars have stopped eating
heavy foods in the morning and have just fruit and fruit juice. They have
made incredible turnarounds. Many of them come to me and say, "Lis
ten, you know when I first heard this, I was a big breakfast eater, but I
was willing to at least try what you said and then go back to eating break
fast. " They didn't, they


 I’ve got my time to spend.”
Giving this power to ego is almost like giving a small child a credit card
and saying, “Go at it! Go have  some fun with that credit card and do
whatever you want with it. I don’t care!” Ego believes this time is yours,
it’s a currency to spend between birth and death, and you can do
whatever you want. And, wow!  Look at the variety that’s involved with
that, if you consider all the years, the centuries that this has been going
on, and all the different ways an individual life is spent: as a Roman
centurion, as a prostitute, as a governor, as an athlete, as an of fice worker
or doctor, as a husband or wife, as a nurse or carpenter or whatever.
There are all kinds of combinations. It’ s almost like the new age teaching
you might have seen: “Crea te your own reality.” That’ s what’ s
underneath this: the belief that you’ve got a menu in time and space, and
you can pick and choose and select from all the different possibilities, all
the images, and make a conglomerate, a synthetic personal self.
With a sense of these dynamic s that go on in the mind, you can
learn, not to stop judging, but to let the Holy Spirit judge for you. The
Holy Spirit, Who knows us as we truly are, judges every one and
everything as innocent. We can refer to the Biblical expression: judge
not, lest you be judged. That was spoken by Jesus two thousa nd years
ago. Do you know anyone who has been able to completely follow these
words?Returning Home to Our Father
Jesus told the parable of the prodigal son, where one son left after asking
for his inherita nce. Off he went and used his entire inheritance for
riotous living until he had nothing, until he was hungry, until his only job
was feeding the pigs and he was eating the husks. And after some time,
he said, “Even my father ’s servants have more than me. Maybe I should
go back.” And he went back in shame; he went back in guilt. He went
back with his head bowed low.
But before he even got close to home, his father came running
down the road, running to welcome, running to celebrate. In the same
way, our shame, guilt, and believed wrongdoings are met with open
arms. The father can only see the son’s innocence, so he celebrates with
a party, by killing a fatted calf. And then the other son, the dutiful son,
the son that tried to play it safe and do all the right things, sees the
condemned brother come back. He says, “What is happening here? A
party? I have stayed here dutifully by your side all along and not once
have you killed a calf for me. This wanderer, this betrayer, this weak one
who blew it all, you welcome him back and have a party?” The dutiful
one is angry. And the father says to him, “Dear son, all that I have is
yours; it has always been yours. But your brother, my son, he was lost,
and now he is found.” There is nothing more important than to be found,
to find our true inheritance again,  regardless of what seemed to happen
when we were lost.
This second chance is the olive branch that is there for all of us.
God is saying, “Just take the olive branch, just take the branch of peace.”
This realization is what the second coming of the Christ means. It’s our
Self-realization. When the awareness of our true Self dawns—the
knowledge that all is forgiven and that we are one in God where  we have
always been—we know that we are nothing but mind. This mind is
whole and complete. It never dreamed of fear, loss, and separation. It is
free and happy in God. It is guiltless—innocent!Exercise: Looking at Guilt—From Blame to Innocence
To listen to a recorded version of this exercise, go to
http://www.newharbinger.com/41870. (There are a host of other
materials available for download there. See the very back of this
book for more information.)
Sometimes we really want to be right about a situat ion.
Whenever the pain of guilt or the desire to be right arises,
remember that if you yield to it, you are deciding against your
happiness, and you will not learn how to be happy.
In this two-part exercise, you are going to use a situation to
look closely at your experie nces of blame and guilt and move
toward the release of them. Acknowledge and invite the presence
of Spirit, your higher power, to guide your mind through this
process.
Part 1:  Exploring the Feelings of Blame and Guilt
Identify a person you blam e for hurting you. In your journal,
answer the following questions:
1. What do you blame this person for?
2. Why do you think they are guilty?
3. How are you maintaining the story that they are guilty in
your mind?
4. In this situation, what do you think you did that you regret or
feel guilty about?
Prayer for Release from Guilt
I ask you for help, Holy Spirit, to see myself and my friend as
you created us.
I cannot do this alone, so I ask that Y ou be with me now.I want to be happy. Holy Spirit, help me to decide for peace.
I give this situation or relationship over to Y ou. I trust that Y ou
will guide me in the way ahead.
Peace of mind is a present decision, which I gratefully choose
right now!
Blame and guilt only seemed possible because I was
determined to hold on to a false belief about who I am and who
my friend is.
I let go of the meaning I gave to the situation and open my
mind to the present—absolved and innocent.
I am grateful for the realization that the cause of my upset,
which I thought was in the world, was actually only an
unquestioned belief and decision in my mind.
I have decided anew for my peace of mind.
Part 2:  Innocence
Stay with the same person and situation. You and they have a
shared identity  in God as perfect innocence. Spend a moment
and reflect on this. When you’re ready, answer the following
questions in your journal:
1. Do you feel this person deserves to be innocent? Why or
why not?
2. If you cannot see that you are both innocent, can you feel a
sense of wanting to be right?
3. If being right means that you will be unhappy, do you still
want to be right?
4. Can you see how accepting your innocence releases both
of you from guilt?
5. What is innocence to you? Write it down and focus your
attention on how this experience of innocence feels to you.
6. Take a moment now and reflect on this prayer:I am the work of God, and His work is wholly lovable and
wholly loving. This is how a man must think of himself in his
heart because this is what he is.

Let Miracles Replace Guilt Thoughts
Nothing we perceive is there by accident; it is just exactly  as it is
because that is the way our mind wants it to be. By making our
unconscious guilt conscious and then releasing it, we can heal and start
to perce ive the world differentl y. We have a choice in how to interpret
things. In truth, there is no guilt going on at all. It has no purpo se. Only
as long as we still have some unconscious desire for guilt do we interpret
the world in a harsh way. We can learn to be more gentle with ourselves
and free ourselves from those harsh interpretations and be light-hearted!
We can laugh and sing in joy and really feel that we are moving on in the
right direction. Why not let every day be like that?
In our hearts, we can find the innocence even when things seem to
fall apart and when things seem to implode. Don’ t try to hold it together!
We are going Home. We are waking up. There is no need to make it any
more complicated than that. We are here to expose the ego’s guilt game.
Everything the ego does—every scheme, every defense, every  trick in
the book—is aimed at perpetuating guilt. Let it arise and release it.
You need to realize how closely you are identified with the thoughts
you think. If you project judgments onto the world, how could you not
feel guilty? Of course, in truth, you are not guilty because God didn’ t
create guilt. God didn’ t create a stream of guilt thoughts and say, “This is
my beloved stream of guilt thoughts, in whom I am well please d!” God
doesn’ t work that way! No, He says, “This is my beloved son, in whom I
am well pleased.” God is please d with the Christ, the Christ of pure love,
pure innocence, which is you, and not a stream of guilt thoughts!Where the ego’ s purpose is to make you guilty, Spirit’ s purpose is to
extend innocenc e. That is why you need to go inward and bring the guilt
to the Holy Spirit
