	this	toxin	disables	the	enzyme	and	causes	disease. Toxic	heavy
metals	are	a	prime	example	of	how	toxins	can	cause	cellular	malfunction,	and
our	bodies	contain	hundreds	of	times	more	toxic	metals	than	they	did	in	our
ancestors	a	century	ago. Mercury	is	a	toxic	heavy	metal	that	we	are	commonly
exposed	to	from	dental	work—amalgam	fillings	contain	mercury. Municipal
water	supplies	contain	toxins	such	as	aluminum,	fluoride	and	arsenic. Even	in
trace	amounts,	these	toxins	can	deactivate	enzymes	and	impair	vital	bodily
systems. They	can	cause	our	systems	to	shut	down. They	must	be	avoided. Building	and	using	enzymes	properly	is	an	essential	part	of	good	health,	as
enzyme	dysfunction	is	a	common	denominator	of	disease. Maintaining	proper
enzyme	balance	is	one	reason	to	eat	fresh	organic	foods. Organic	produce	is
richer	in	the	vitamins	and	minerals	that	enable	us	to	build	enzymes	and
coenzymes,	and	it	is	less	toxic,	too. Enzyme	function	can	also	be	enhanced	with
high-quality	dietary	supplements. The	First	Line	of	Defense
A	cell’s	first	line	of	defense	against	disease	is	the	cell	membrane,	the	security
wall	that	surrounds	the	cell	and	carries	out	many	important	functions. Healthy
membranes,	built	from	appropriate	materials,	protect	cells	from	harmful	invaders
—	including	viruses. Malfunctioning	membranes	allow	bacteria,	viruses,	toxins
and	other	harmful	substances	to	damage	cells. The	presence	of	poorly
constructed	cell	membranes	formed	from	poor	diets	is	one	of	the	biggest	reasons
that	almost	all	Americans	get	sick.The	cell	membrane	controls	everything	that	goes	into	and	out	of	a	cell. Making	certain	that	only	the	right	things	go	in	and	out	of	the	cell	is	a	critical	and
complex	task	that	only	can	be	accomplished	when	the	cell	membrane	is
constructed	correctly. The	membranes	that	surround	each	of	the	trillions	of	cells
in	your	body	are	made	mostly	of	fats	and	oils. Membranes	constructed	out	of	the
wrong	fats	and	oils	do	not	function	properly,	which	is	a	problem	for	most
Americans. For	example,	diets	with	excessive	amounts	of	saturated	fats,	which
are	rigid	molecules,	create	rigid	cell	membranes	that	lack	necessary	elasticity. Catastrophic	failures,	such	as	ruptured	blood	vessels	and	torn	muscles	and
tendons,	can	occur	in	tissues	made	from	these	rigid	cells. Cell	membranes	are	made	primarily	of	fatty	molecules	called	phospholipids. Special	kinds	of	oils	called	essential	fatty	acids	(EFAs)—omega-3s	and	omega-
6s—are	used	to	create	the	phospholipids	in	cell	membranes. These	oils	are
essential	because	your	body	is	unable	to	produce	them;	these	oils	must	be
obtained	through	diet. An	overwhelming	majority	—some	estimate	as	much	as
90	percent—of	the	U.S.	population	may	be	deficient	in	the	correct	assortment	of
essential	fatty	acids. When	the	correct	raw	materials	are	lacking,	the	body	makes
cell	membranes	out	of	whatever	raw	materials	are	available. These	materials
include	the	hydrogenated	oils	found	in	margarine,	vegetable	shortening,	baked
goods	and	breakfast	cereals;	the	saturated	fats	from	meat	and	dairy	products;	and
the	trans-fatty	acids	found	in	processed	salad	and	cooking	oils. Cell	membranes
built	from	these	inappropriate	fats	and	oils	cause	the	membrane	and	the	entire
cell	to	malfunction. For	example,	building	a	cell	membrane	from	hydrogenated	oils	impairs	the
passage	of	oxygen	into	the	cell,	and	oxygen-deficient	cells	become	cancerous. None	of	us	would	build	a	house	with	cardboard	walls. Why,	then,	do	we	build
our	cell	membranes—our	first	line	of	defense	against	disease—out	of	junk
materials	like	margarine,	vegetable	shortening	and	supermarket	oils? Modern
diets	fail	to	supply	adequate	amounts	of	the	correct	essential	fatty	acids. I
recommend	supplementation	with	high-quality	essential	fatty	acids	and	fish	oils
(see	appendix	C). Weak	and	Rusty
To	be	healthy,	cells	must	be	supplied	with	adequate	amounts	of	antioxidants. Cell	membranes	and	the	factories	and	powerhouses	inside	of	cells	can	be
damaged	from	oxidation	via	free	radicals. Picture	how	oxidative	damage	(rust)
would	cause	the	Golden	Gate	Bridge	to	disintegrate	were	it	not	painted	with	a
protective	coating	each	year. Currently,	our	bodies	are	immersed	in	a	sea	ofhighly	reactive	chemicals—	such	as	ozone	in	urban	air	and	chlorine	in	tap	water
—that	create	oxidative	damage	to	our	bodies. You	likely	have	heard	reports
about	antioxidants	(such	as	vitamins	A,	C	and	E)	and	how	they	protect	us	against
free	radical	damage. Free	radicals	damage	our	cells	just	like	rust	corrodes	metal. Free	radicals	have
unpaired	electrons. Electrons,	which	travel	in	pairs,	are	charged	particles
orbiting	around	the	nucleus	of	atoms. An	unpaired	electron	aggressively	seeks	a
mate,	trying	to	“grab”	an	electron	from	something	else,	perhaps	a	molecule	that
is	performing	an	important	job	in	one	of	your	cell	membranes. Once	the	electron
is	grabbed,	that	molecule	can	no	longer	perform	its	job	properly;	furthermore,
the	molecule	now	becomes	a	free	radical	itself,	aggressively	seeking	its	own
electron	mate. The	subsequent	chain	reaction	can	result	in	serious	cellular
damage	commonly	associated	with	aging	and	disease,	unless	the	body’s	tissues
are	rich	with	antioxidants	that	can	stop	hazardous	chain	reactions	as	soon	as	they
begin. Free	radicals	are	naturally	produced	as	we	metabolize	oxygen. Free-radical
chain	reactions	are	constantly	being	produced	and	stopped	inside	your	body. Cells	were	designed	to	cope	with	these	reactions,	but	not	of	the	magnitude	that	is
present	today. For	example,	chlorine,	a	highly	oxidizing	gas	put	in	municipal	tap
water,	can	easily	damage	our	skin	and	lungs. Taking	a	shower	in	chlorinated
water	is	like	stepping	into	a	chlorine	gas	chamber—a	health	hazard	of	which
most	people	are	totally	unaware. We	can	make	choices	to	protect	our	cells,	but
first	we	need	to	know	the	source	of	the	damage. Today,	we	expose	ourselves	to	free-radical	damage	from	chemicals	to	which
our	biological	ancestors	were	never	exposed. Our	modern	environment	is	filled
with	substances	that	cause	free	radicals	to	form,	such	as	ozone,	chlorine,
pesticides,	tobacco	smoke,	petroleum	byproducts,	synthetic	perfume	and	many
others. We	need	more	antioxidant	protection	than	ever,	because	we	are	exposed
to	so	many	more	free	radicals. The	problem	is	that	the	need	for	antioxidant
nutrients	is	up	while	the	supply	in	our	diet	is	down. To	avoid	the	weak	and	rusty	body—to	slow	the	aging	process	and	keep
disease	at	bay—the	sensible	solution	is	to	stop	the	free-radical	damage. The
necessities	are	simple:	a	diet	rich	in	antioxidant	nutrients	along	with	antioxidant
supplements,	and	clean	food

Losing this race due to lack of inspired responsibility could soon bring us to starvation in an impoverished Biosphere with very harsh climates. Just as wholistic doctors (“teachers”) try to consider “the whole person, ” it is obviously
time to strive to become wholistic ecologists concerned with “the whole planet. ”  It seems the least we can do for the planet which gave birth to us and will sooner or later recycle our bodies. As of 2018, I think a realistic view leans toward “sooner. ”  However, let us remember our great capacity for awakening, understanding, transformation, and love-in-action. Why not do all we can to nourish these possibilities? Let us each realize that we truly do reap what we sow! f21

FruiticulturePathologies of Modern Diets
by David Klein, Ph.D., Dr. T. C. Fry &
Wes Peterson, N.D. The Big Destructive Mistake
by Dr. T. C. Fry & David Klein, Ph.D. The #1 mistake humankind makes several times every day is eating foods which we are
not designed to eat, that is, foods which are not suitable to our biological and physi -
ological constitution and which poison and destroy the body and mind, causing virtually every disease condition humans fac e
. We are not omnivores! Omnivorous diets that are
high in grains and their byproducts and/or meat and animal byproducts are acidifying, toxifying, and deficient in nutrients. They destroy human health, causing physical and mental degeneration, low fertility, most disease conditions from A to Z, stunted longev -
ity and they greatly contribute to the pollution of the world’s environment and the de -
cline of global societies. Just as ker osene fouls up an automobile or air plane eng
ine, which was not designed for
it, so too will foods foul up human bodies if they are not designed to handle them. If
you are not physiologically adapted to a diet, it will be repulsive to you in its raw natural state—you cannot relish the food nor sustain yourself on it in good health. When you eat an unnatural diet by artifice, that is, by denaturing it by cooking and modifying and camouflaging its taste with condiments and so on, you are doing the following:
1. Deranging and destroying most or all of the nutrients within the food. 2. Deranging your taste buds through excitation with toxic substances to make the
unpalatable food acceptable. 3. Potentially inflaming your or
gans. All poisonous substances, including alcohol, pun -
gent spices, vinegars, salts, onions, garlic, chili peppers, hot sauces, and charred meat,
are harsh irritan ts tha
t can cause inflammation and impose insurmountable burdens 25
Fruiticultureupon the body’s defense system and organs of
purification and elimination. A host of diseases results from their habitual use. 4. Causing nutrient deficiencies by eating a par -
tially or wholly nutrient deranged “food. ”5. Causing protein malnutr ition. C
ooking de -
stroys proteins and amino acids. Once oxidized
and destr oyed b y c
ooking, you can no longer de -
rive any benefit from proteinaceous substances other than, per haps “empt y calor
ies, ” that is, nu-
trient-bereft fuel. Once oxidized, proteins are soil (food) for bact er
ia which putrefy (rot) it. Bacterial
putrefactive byproducts are highly toxic and car -
cinogenic. These byproducts are methane gas (the source for smelly gas emissions when y ou ea
t
beans, for instance), hydrogen sulfide and mer -
captans (which yield the rotten egg smell when carried out by the methane gas), cada v
erine, putrescine, ammonias, indoles, skatoles,
leukomaines and a profusion of other toxic and carcinogenic substances. 6. Laying the groundwork for putrefactive bacterial flora that will vitiate your intestinal
tract. Eaters of cooked foods and wrong foods have about two pounds of bacterial flora up and down their digestive tracts. Raw food eaters have only a few ounces. 7. Laying the groundwork for alcohol and vinegar poisoning. Heated sugars and carbo -
hydrates are readily fermented by fungi and bacteria with, first, alcohol as a byproduct
and then vinegar which is dozens of times more t o
xic than alcohol. 8. Intoxicating your body with the toxic debris (deranged nutrients) of what once had nutrient value. Instead of materials your body can use, you have toxins that put the body into a frenzy and, if overwhelmed by the toxic load, into a pathological state. 9. Overstimulating your nervous and endocrine systems, which in some people sends
their sex drive into overdrive, which is a prime cause of the world’s overpopulation. 26
Fruiticulture10. Deranging our brain chemistry, resulting in reduced cognition and disconnection
from our elegant bio-spiritual nature, instigating aberrant behaviors and, consequently, worldwide turmoil. This new study helps make the point:  “Intake of Raw Fruits and Vegetables Is Associated With Better Mental Health, ” from Frontiers in Psychology maga -
zine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5902672/. As you can see, c ooked f
oods and condiments are a curse to our well-being. There are many toxic substances that are commonly eaten. For instance, all cooked oils
and fats, as in fried foods, meats, nuts and seeds, contain deadly carcinogens. Their aerated fumes are worse in the lungs than tobacco smoke! For the bare truth about cooking, refer to the landmark report Diet, Nutrition and Cancer (1983) that was commis -
sioned by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/371/diet-nutrition-and-cancer). T
he list of toxifying pseudo-foods seems endless! We Americans poison ourselves so
much that we have more health problems per capita than any other country on earth. More than 16% of our national wealth goes down the disease rat hole. Humanity must wake up to the fact that virtually all discomforts, illnesses and suffering are abnormal, unnatural and unnecessary. f
Slabs of carcinogens27
FruiticultureIs Cooked Food Good for Us? by Dr. T. C. Fry
In nature all animals eat living foods as yielded up by na-
ture. Only humans cook their foods and only humans suffer widespread sicknesses and ailments. Those humans who
eat mostly living foods are more alert, think clearer, sharper and more logically and become more active. Best of all, live food eaters become virtually sickness-free! Cooking is a process of food destruction from the moment
heat is applied to the foodstuff. Long before dry ashes re -
sults, food values are totally destroyed. If you put your hand just for a moment into boil-ing water or on a hot stove, that should forever persuade you just how destructive heat is. Food is usually subject ed t
o these destructive temperatures for perhaps half an hour
or more. What was living substance becomes totally dead very rapidly with exposure to heat! Cooking renders food toxic! The toxicity of the deranged debris of cooking is confirmed
by the doubling and tripling of white blood cells after eating a cooked food meal. The white blood cells are the first line of defense and are, collectively, popularly called “the immune system. ”
As confirmed by hundreds of researches cited in the prestigious National Academy of
Science’s National Research Council’s book, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer, all cooking quickly generates mutagens and carcinogens in foods. Proteins begin coagulating and deaminating at temperatures commonly applied in cook -
ing, and are devoid of nutritive value.Vitamins are ra ther quick
ly destroyed by cooking. Minerals quickly lose their organic context and are returned to their native state as they
occur in soil, seawater and rocks, metals and so on. In such a state they are unusable and the body often shunts them aside where they may combine with saturated fats and cho -
lesterol in the circulatory system, thus clogging it up with cement-like plaque. 28

 inwardly through our deeper consciousness, it
becomes what could be better called "true intelligence." The distinction between intellect and true intelligence is
crucial for understanding the condition of the world today Intelligence: The Power of Perception
and essential for establishing any real depth psychology. Intellect refers to an intelligence that uses reason, based
upon the senses, to determine truth. It extends the range
of the senses through various instruments, like telescopes
and microscopes, and increases its calculating capacity
through various machines, like computers. It invents dif-
ferent systems of ideas, temporal and spatial measure-
ments, to understand the world. Intellect constructs the idea of an external world as real-
ity, noting the names and forms of things in the world and
placing them into various categories and hierarchies. The
notion of an outer world of enjoyment as our place of ful-
fillment derives from it. From it comes a materialistic view
of life and a mechanistic view of the universe. Intellect
directs us to outer goals in life: enjoyment, wealth, power
or mundane knowledge. It creates a bodily idea of exis-
tence, in which we become trapped in time and space, sor-
row and death. Intellect emphasizes outer distinctions,
roles, and identities. Through it we get caught in surface
information, status and possessions. Intellect functions
under the control of ego and emotion rather than guiding
them. It can inhibit our spiritual evolution, making us
prefer solid worldly realities over inner experiences. True intelligence is a power of inner or direct percep-
tion quite different from the secondhand or mediated
knowledge of the intellect. It reveals to us the nature of
things, transcending their sensory appearances, the con-
tent behind the often misleading package. True intelli-
gence takes the eternal to be the real, and perceives tran-
sient names and forms as unreal. Through it we go beyond
all beliefs, preconceptions, and concepts and leam to see
things as they are. True intelligence is keenly aware of the impennanence Ayurveda and the Mind
of all external reality and does not attach us to any fixed
names and forms. Through it we learn to perceive the con-
sciousness behind the shifting movements of matter and
energy in the external world. We free ourselves from outer
belief structures, authorities and institutions, transcending
time and space into the reality of our True Nature. The intellect possesses only an indirect knowledge or
mediated knowledge of names, numbers and appearances. For this reason, the intellect cannot solve our human prob-
lems or bring peace to the psyche. It is not enough to
know what our problems are conceptually. We must
understand their origin in our own hearts and souls. With-
out an awakening of true intelligence, our society must
remain emotionally unstable and spiritually naive. West-
em psychology, with some exceptions, shares the limita-
tions of an intellectual view of life that the West has gen-
erally glorified in its philosophy and science. Ayurveda,
based on Yogic philosophy, regards the intellect as a lower
or inferior intelligence. It helps us cultivate our deeper
intelligence, which takes us beyond the senses to the tmth
within our hearts. Conscience
Each of us possesses an inherent ethical sense, which we
call "conscience" — a feeling that certain things are right
and others are wrong. Our conscience causes us not to wish
harm to any creature and to feel the pain of others as our
own. Conscience is a major part of intelligence, which
establishes how we value and treat other people. The more
intelligent we are, the stronger a conscience we have and
the less we seek to interfere with others or impose our will
upon them. Directly outwardly, intelligence creates morality, which Intelligence: The Power of Perception
may be little more than the arbitrary customs of a partic-
ular society. Directed inwardly, intelligence creates univer-
sal ethics like non-violence, which transcend all cultural
prejudices. Through our inner intelligence, we act ethical-
ly and humanely, not for material or social gain, or even for
heavenly reward, but for the good of all. Organized religion, with its dogmas and institutions, is
another product of the outward-oriented intelligence. It
results in the clash of beliefs and their exclusive claims. It
ties us to a particular church, book or savior as truth. On
the other hand, directed inwardly, true intelligence creates
spirituality or the quest for eternal truth beyond name and
form. It leads to the truth of our own inner Being, our
higher Self in which the insistence upon a belief, savior or
institution appears naive. Intelligence and Awareness
True intelligence is the aspect of consciousness that is
awake, cognizant, and developed, while consciousness
(Chitta) itself is the mental field as a whole, particularly its
undeveloped core. Consciousness, as it evolves, turns into
intelligence that articulates and clarifies it. Consciousness,
when directed toward a particular principle, value, or
higher good, becomes intelligence. In its highest function,
intelligence becomes spiritual discrimination, through
which we discern the inner reality from outer forms, which
releases our consciousness from its negative conditioning. Consciousness contains everything in the mental field
in a potential or seed form. Intelligence allows us to
become aware of the contents of consciousness, which oth-
erwise lie hidden and unperceived. I he cultivation of
awareness, which is meditation, is necessary to develop
true intelligence. However, the mind's intelligence (Bud- Ayurveda and the Mind
dhi) is always an awareness of something and remains con-
ditioned by its object. We must eventually step beyond it
to discover our true Self (Atman) beyond the mind. The
Self is the origin of intelligence. The reflection of its
unconditioned intelligence endows the mental field with a
conditioned intelligence. Our conditioned intelligence is
an instrument for the unconditioned intelligence of the
Self. From conditioned consciousness and intelligence
(Chitta and Buddhi), we must move to unconditioned con-
scious and intelligence (Chit and Jnana). Cosmic Intelligence
Intelligence has a cosmic as well as individual reality.2'
Cosmic Intelligence is the evolved or sattvic portion of
Cosmic Consciousness. It is the mind of God at the sum-
mit of creation, through which God functions as the Cre-
ator-Preserver-Destroyer of the universe.24 Cosmic Intelli-
gence is the field of God's action, the manifestation of His
laws. It is the Divine Word, the Logos, through which the
universe is created. From it comes the first or ideal cre-
ation, of which this material world is an imperfect reflec-
tion. Cosmic Intelligence is responsible for the structure and
order of the cosmos, while Cosmic Consciousness governs
the world process and being. A portion of Cosmic Intelli-
gence descends into matter and becomes the Divine flame
that constructs the worlds.2' Our individual intelligence is
our particular portion of Cosmic Intelligence or the Divine
Word. This Divine flame is ever awake at the deepest level
of our consciousness as our inner guide.26 It directs our evo-
lutionary process from matter to spirit, from the uncon-
scious to the superconscious, from ignorance to enlighten-
ment. Cosmic Intelligence is the inner guru who works to
awaken our internal wisdom. Intelligence: The Power of Perception
Cosmic Intelligence contains all cosmic laws (Dhar-
mas), from those that govern the physical world to the eth-
ical principles that govern our karma. It is the field of nat-
ural law, in which all the laws of life are held. Our
individual intelligence naturally strives to learn the laws of
Cosmic Intelligence, through which the entire universe
can be comprehended. Cosmic Intelligence establishes
what is dhannic, or in harmony with cosmic law, as
opposed to what is adhannic, or contrary to it. Individual
intelligence grows through aligning itself with Cosmic
Intelligence that is its source. This happens not by mere
study of books, but by studying nature and, above all, by
observing oneself. Composition
True intelligence develops from sattvic or finer matters
of consciousness (Chitta). However, directed outwardly,
intelligence becomes contaminated with rajas, or emotion-
al impurities, which cloud its perception,27 and by tamas,
which causes wrong judgment. The seat of true intelligence, like that of consciousness,
resides in the heart. However, the seat of intellect, or outer
intelligence, is the brain, which is connected with the
senses. Intelligence mediates between the outer mind that
works through the brain and the inner mind located in the
heart.28 To merge intelligence into the heart is the way to
transcend the outer world and return to the inner Self. This is the basis of all true meditation. The field of intelligence makes up the sheath of intelli-
gence or wisdom, Vijnanamaya Kosha. This sheath medi-
ates between the causal (karmic) body and the astral or
subtle body of impressions. Without the proper develop-
ment of the intelligence sheath, the potentials of the deep- Ayurveda and the Mind
er bliss sheath (Anandamaya Kosha) cannot develop. It
serves as the door that links the outer


 what you want, and every time you see
something that you don’ t want, you use up your currency to purchase it. When you get home, and all your purchases are delivered, you ask yourself,
“Why is my house filled with all this stuf f that I don’ t want. ” The answer:
“Because you are insane. Here you had all this money to buy what you
wanted, and you spent it instead on what you didn’ t want. ” This is just plain
crazy. Now keeping the above scene in mind, remind yourself that your thoughts
are the currency for getting what you want in your life. Remember, your
desires, requests, intentions, and passions are all thoughts, and when you
place those thoughts on what you don’ t want, regardless of how negatively
you feel about it, you will act upon what you don’ t want, and more of what
you don’ t want will show up in your life. Just like the hideous furniture and
distasteful jewelry. They are there in your house because you foolishly
spent that precious currency on what you didn’ t want. How does this work and why would you give your precious life ener gy in
the form of your thoughts to something you didn’ t want. Y our mind isactive all day long with some sixty thousand separate thoughts each and
every day. Examine those thoughts. How many of them are on what you
don’t want. “W ith my luck it will never work out. This cold is getting
worse each day. I know those stocks will devalue, it’ s just the way things
always seem to work out for me. The deal will probably fall through. There
will not be very good seats left when we get to the theater. These meals will
add twenty pounds to my waist alone. Quitting smoking is so hard. It’ll
probably rain and ruin the outing. ”
This list could go on for a thousand pages. Y ou begin to get the idea. Y our
thoughts are the ener gy that you act upon. If your thoughts are on what you
don’t want, no matter how much you abhor the thought of what you don’ t
want materializing into your life, you will act upon those thoughts and more
of what you don’ t want will keep showing up. When you stop giving ener gy
to what you don’ t want, you will see yourself changing to a faster and
consequently more spiritual ener gy. Here’ s how to change this old habit. When you find yourself thinking a thought that focuses on what you don’ t
want, no matter how insignificant it might be, remind yourself that you will
ultimately act upon that thought and it will materialize into your life. Stop
yourself right there, and silently ask yourself, “What do I want. ” That is,
instead  of thinking that your arthritis is going to get worse, which is
precisely what you don’ t want, change the thought to an intention. “This
arthritis is going to disappear from my life completely. ” Eventually, slowly,
but surely, you will begin to act upon this new intention, which is a faster
energy, and this new intention will become your reality. You will do
whatever you have to do to avoid suf fering with your arthritis. Y ou will not
complain about it, because you are no longer thinking of it as a problem, so
you can’ t complain. And miracle of miracles your body, which is a system
of ener gy, will react to your thoughts as well. As has been said many times,
“Your biography becomes your biology. ”
But more important, you will be putting your ener gy on solutions by
removing the problem first from your mind and then your body as well. For
instance in a parking situation, your thoughts shift from “There will
probably be no place to park” to “I’m looking for my parking place. ”Suddenly you’ve stopped looking for no place to park, and the ener gy
changes to accommodate you. I am using the word intention  here quite intentionally. I am not suggesting
you keep your thoughts on what you want, because if you do, you will
manifest a state of wanting for yourself. I am suggesting you move up the
ladder from wishing to asking, to intending, and finally to passion. What
you intend in your thoughts with passion, you will act upon and ultimately
create. The secret lies in the continuous reminder to yourself to first stop the
outward verbal expression of what you don’ t want; second, catch yourself
and examine the thought behind that expression; and finally, shift to an
intention of what you will be creating for yourself, even if you don’ t know
how you will create it, because ultimately you will act upon it, or you will
access higher, and faster, universal powers to provide you with the
solutions. Here is an example of how I had to recently employ the above suggestions. On returning from a speaking engagement in Puerto Rico I arrived in my
hotel room in Chicago at 2:03 P. M. I was extremely hungry and telephoned
room service to order a sandwich and some juice. I was informed that room
service closed at 2:00 P.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

participants in this long group session of meditation were more peaceful
and calm, as measured by their increased serotonin levels. The second part of this experiment involved measuring the serotonin levels
of people in the immediate vicinity of the lar ge meditation group, who werenot doing the group meditation. Their serotonin levels were measured both
before a long group meditation and immediately following the meditation
of the entire group of several thousand people. It was discovered that
serotonin levels were significantly increased by simply being in the
immediate neighborhood of a lar ge group of people who were radiating
tranquil ener gy. The implications of this kind of scientific research are
astounding to contemplate. Just imagine, when you become more peaceful
and you practice sending out this kind of serenity silently, you have an
impact on everyone in your physical environment. On several occasions I have had the pleasure of being in the presence of
those who do this. I consider these people to be divine masters. In a little
village in Germany, I sat with 199 others in the presence of Mother Meera,
an enlightened soul, whose lifetime has been devoted to spreading peace
and love to devotees from around the world. As she held my head in her
hand, and looked into my eyes, I felt as if I was in the presence of God in an
egoless human form. I have never had such a feeling of bliss merely by
being in the same room with someone. When Mother Meera entered the
small room where two hundred people were crammed in to sit darshan for
three hours, the atmosphere of the entire room was raised to a higher level
of love and bliss by her presence. Empty of ego and af filiated with the spiritual principles of love, kindness,
surrender, peace, connectedness, for giveness, cheerfulness, and gratitude
you get closer and closer to God. When you begin to radiate spiritual
qualities you will impact the ener gy field of your immediate surroundings
more than you may have realized. Furthermore, you will keep your own
energy field less contaminated, and you will prevent conflicts and problems
from surfacing merely by your raised spiritual consciousness. Indeed, you
must keep uppermost in your mind that it is never between you and them; it
is between you and God. This fascinating world of invisible ener gy is becoming more and more
scientifically verifiable. W e refer to these particles of unseen ener gy as
pheromones and we see that in nature, even trees emit these invisible-to-
the-eye excretions. For example, when Dutch elm disease has attacked one
elm tree in a neighborhood it sends out a warning signal via thesepheromones to all the other trees in the vicinity. They then emit their own
built-in defense mechanisms to fight of f the invasive germs of the Dutch
elm disease. Similarly, animals and people have pheromones of invisible ener gy that are
emitted in moments of fear and its opposite, love. W ell-documented studies
show that animals entering a room where other animals have been
slaughtered react with spasms of apprehension and fear. So too, when
humans are in a room where torture

slightly warm then the temperature is right. 2. If you are using a commercial yoghurt starter in a powder form you
need to dissolve the powder in a little milk first before adding it to the
pan. If you are using your own yoghurt or commercial live yoghurt add
7a cup into the milk. Stir well, cover with the lid and put in a warm
place preferably at 38-45°C. You can use a clean dry thermos for this
purpose, a yoghurt maker, an electric plate, the top of your boiler or
your airing cabinet (if it is warm enough). Ferment the yoghurt for at
least 24 hours or longer. 3. After the fermentation is complete, move the yoghurt into a clean dry
glass jar, cover and refrigerate. 4. To drip the yoghurt line a large colander with a cheese-cloth. Place the
colander into alarge bowl and pouryour yoghurt into the lined colander. Cover with a tea towel and let it drip for a few hours. You can collect the
liquid after dripping and keep it refrigerated in a dry glass jar to re-use as
a starter. You can also use this liquid for soaking the liver in to remove
any bitter taste before cooking it. Depending on how long you leave your
yoghurt dripping you can make a soft cottage cheese or thicker yoghurt. Both soft cottage cheese and the yoghurt can be used for baking, adding
to salads and soups and as desserts with honey and fruit. Instructions for making creme fraiche
By using cream instead of milk you can make creme fraiche or soured
cream. For llitre of cream use one sachet of commercial starter or l cup of
live yoghurt. 1. Constantly stirring, bring the cream to boil but do not let it boil. 2. Cool down by placing the pan into cold water. Keep the pan covered at
all times. 3. Test the temperature, it should be 38-45°C. 4. Add the starter and ferment for 24 hours minimum. This soured cream or creme fraiche is very nice to use in salads, soups,
stews, in baking or as a dessert with some honey and berries. You can blend
it with a little honey and frozen fruit or berries to make an instant ice
cream. 4. IT'S FEEDING TIME! OH, NO! Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves,
and it is tiresome for children to be always
and forever explaining things to them. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
he Petit Prince, 1943
It is very rare to meet a GAPS child who is not a finicky eater. The same can
be said about many GAPS adults as well. This problem is particularly pro
nounced in autism. The majority of autistic children and adults have feed
ing problems, sometimes very severe. Some are very fussy and would
accept only a very limited range of foods. Some cannot chew properly and
would hold food in their mouth for a long time or try to swallow it in a
lump. Some can only suck from a bottle and would not drink from any
thing else. Feeding time is a nightmare for many parents of autistic
children. There are number of possibilities why GAPS patients have these prob
lems. First is a distorted sensory input. The taste buds in their mouth receive
the information about food, which gets passed to the brain. A GAPS brain is
clogged with toxicity and cannot process this information properly. As a
result, to these people the food can taste completely different to what it
should taste like. Add to that a distorted feeling of food texture and temper
ature and we start appreciating why an autistic child, for example, would
not accept many foods. The taste, texture and feeling of food can be quite
offensive for them. Second is a craving for sweet and starchy foods typical for all people with
abnormal bodily flora, particularly with Candida albicans overgrowth. No
matter how finicky a GAPS child or an adult might be, most of them would
accept sugary drinks, biscuits, cakes, sweets, sugar-laden breakfast cereals,
chocolates, chips, crisps, pasta and white bread. In fact these are the foods
to which many GAPS people limit their diet thus feeding the vicious circle
of abnormal flora and toxicity in their bodies. Third is the state of the mouth itself. A human mouth is home for a
large population of microbes which normally protect the mouth from pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungi, maintain the healthy state of the
mucous membranes and various structures in the mouth. GAPS children
and adults often have a very abnormal bacterial flora in their mouths, often
with an overgrowth of Candida and other pathogenic microbes. The activ
ity of this abnormal flora produces a lot of toxins, which are stored in the
mucous membranes of the mouth and alter the functioning of taste buds,
saliva glands and other structures. Apart from contributing to the distor
tion of taste, this process causes a chronic inflammation in the mucous
membranes of the mouth, making it a target for the immune system. As a
result of microbial activity and inflammation many GAPS patients have
bad breath, very red lips and mouth, various spots and ulcers on the
mucosa of the cheeks and a coated furry tongue. Many foods, like raw fruit
and vegetables, herbs, uncooked nuts and seeds, cold pressed oils and
some other foods have strong detoxifying substances, which would bind to
the toxins in the mouth trying to remove them. This can feel far from nice
ranging from stinging, itching and burning, to simply an unpleasant taste,
and indeed, those are the foods that GAPS people commonly would not
accept. There are some contributory factors. For example, any secretion from
the body is a way of eliminating toxins. Saliva is one of them. GAPS patients
have very toxic bodies and some of these toxins get excreted through saliva. This contributes to the toxic load in the mouth, altering the taste and feel
of foods. In some cases of autism and other GAPS disorders another contributory
factor comes into play - an inability of the toxic brain to orchestrate
normal movements of the muscles in the mouth, tongue and other struc
tures involved in chewing and swallowing. These are the patients who
cannot chew and swallowproperly. Foods have to be very soft for them and
they would vomit very often. Such severe abnormality is fairly rare, but this
problem exists in many GAPS children and adults to a milder degree. So, what are we to do with these feeding problems? It is the appropriate nutritional management aimed at normalising
bodily flora and detoxifying the person that would eventually make foods
taste properly for him/her. Adults generally are not much of a problem in
terms of persuading them to change their diet, though it can be difficult to
get them stick to it. But how on Earth can we apply any nutritional man
agement to a child who would not eat anything? Indeed, this is the hardest
point for many parents in managing their child's condition. I generally don't believe in hopeless situations. Where there is a will there is a way! There is a way, a very efficient way of introducing foods into
your child's diet. It requires a lot of determination from the parents but it
brings a huge relief and quite a bit of normality into your family's life. This
way is ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) or behaviour modification. The
main principal of this method is based on common sense used by parents
for centuries. I am sure you all recall your parents telling you "First you
have to do your homework, than you can go and play! ", or "If you want to
go to the zoo on Saturday, you have to..." So, the formula is - if you want
something, you have to work for it! When you first introduce this method into your child's life, he or she is
not going to like it, so expect a lot of resistance until your child learns the
rules of the game. If you do not give up in those first difficult days, your
child will understand pretty quickly that to get what he or she wants your
child has to do something for you. As soon as he or she understands that,
your life will become much easier. If you already are doing an ABA pro
gramme with your child at home you can make feeding a separate drill for
your therapists to work on in the sessions. All you will have to do is to cook
the food and bring it into the therapy room. So, how do we apply this method to children? Let us start from the more severe end of the spectrum - a non-verbal
autistic child. 1. Introducing new foods to a child with severe language problems
Initially use preferred foods as rewards for eating the good food. Show your
child the food he/she likes the most (a piece of chocolate, couple of crisps,
a piece of biscuit, etc.). Put it out of his/her reach but in clear view. Offer
your child one mouthful of the food you want to introduce.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

renaline can produce stress, which can lead to an increase ADRENALINE DOMINANCE 20  |
in the production of cortisol. Prolonged stress associated with
this increase in cortisol leads to damage of the hippocampus,
a part of the brain that has many receptors for cortisol. The
hippocampus is involved in cognition, mood, and memory. Over time, the damage can cause memory problems, dementia,
and depression. Fortunately, the body has an amazing capacity to heal
itself. In the old days, eating a healthy diet was enough to
provide all the necessary elements needed for healthy brain
function. Unfortunately, it is a different world today. Because
of pollution, depletion of the soil, and the use of chemical
fertilizers and now GMO seeds, the nutritional quality of our
food is less than it was one hundred years ago. As a result,
for optimal health we require the support of nutritional
supplements, including for the brain. While the topic of proper metabolic support for brain
cells is too complex to discuss in detail in this book, the most
important supplements for the brain are listed and discussed in the chapter “Managing Excess Adrenaline.”21
CHAPTER 4EXCESS
ADRENALINE:
THE GOOD
To my way of thinking, ADHD  (attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder) is all about excess adrenaline. I regard it as the
“good” aspect of adrenaline dominance because, when managed
properly, the tendency toward elevated adrenaline leads to
heightened cognition, creativity, and capacity to get things
done. Many of the world’s most intelligent, successful, creative
people have been diagnosed as having ADHD or have exhibited
many of ADHD ’s symptoms. ADHD  represents a classic example of the tendency to
judge a condition by its symptoms rather than by its cause. As a result, children with ADHD  are described as having a
learning disorder, or having trouble focusing, or being prone
to disruptive behaviors or temper tantrums, and so on. All of these symptoms are related to adrenaline. As
a hormone, excess adrenaline increases energy to muscles,
leading to hyperactivity. As a neurotransmitter, it can heighten
awareness and intelligence. However, it also increases the
speed of thought transmission, making it difficult to focus,
except on subjects that are of interest. If the subject on the
blackboard is not interesting, a child with ADHD  can get
easily distracted—looking out the window, talking to the child
at the next desk, and so on. However, put the same child in ADRENALINE DOMINANCE 22  |
front of a computer with games, and he or she might be able
to focus on it for the better part of a day. In other words, ADHD  is not actually a learning disorder;
it’s an interest disorder. A classic example of ADHD  is the
student with excellent grades in all subjects except, say, algebra. This is clearly an intelligent student who finds it difficult to
focus on a certain subject. In my view, there are three basic forms of ADHD, which
I call “typical type,” “creative type,” and “mixed type,” the
last being a combination of the first two types. In typical type
ADHD, adrenaline functions primarily as a hormone, acting
on the muscles to cause physical hyperactivity and possibly
impulsive or even disruptive behavior. In creative type ADHD,
adrenaline functions mainly as a neurotransmitter in the brain,
making the brain hyperactive. This form of ADHD  is more
common in people who are “right brained,” that is, creative. The adrenaline enhances their creativity. In typical type ADHD, adrenaline functions primarily
as a hormone. In creative type ADHD, adrenaline
functions mainly as a neurotransmitter in the brain. I suspect that most people diagnosed as having ADD
(attention deficit disorder) actually have what I call creative
type ADHD. The difference in the name is crucial, since
retaining the “H” in “ ADHD ” identifies this condition as a
form of hyperactivity, though in this case the hyperactivity
is in the brain. These people have trouble focusing, similar to those with what is generally called
ADHD, but they lack the
physical hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Understanding that |   23 ExCESS  ADRENALINE: THE  gOOD
this condition is another form of adrenaline hyperactivity is
vital to treating it properly. The latest estimate of ADHD  in children (2013) is 10
percent, though I believe that the true incidence is much higher. If the negative connotations of this disorder were
removed, I suspect that a lot more children might be diagnosed
and correctly treated. In addition, if one parent has ADHD, there is a good
chance of the children having ADHD. If both parents have
ADHD, then all of their children will have ADHD. Conversely,
if a child has ADHD, it is a good bet that one or both parents
have it as well. It is important to keep in mind that all children with
ADHD  grow up to be adults with ADHD. The condition does
not magically disappear at the age of 18. It should not be surprising that ADHD  in most adults
goes unrecognized by the medical community. It should
also not be surprising that the medical community considers
many conditions associated with adult ADHD —the “bad”
and “ugly” aspects of excess adrenaline—incurable. We are
dealing here with hormones out of balance, a concept that is not recognized by many physicians. As a neurotransmitter in the brain, adrenaline helps to
increase intelligence; as a hormone, it enhances physical energy. This combination of energy and mental acumen produces the
most successful people in the world. Many successful people
today will admit that they never opened a book in school
until the night before an exam. They may have been branded
as procrastinators, but they did well scholastically anyway
because of their brain’s hyperactivity. In my own case, I never
studied until the night before an exam. However, when I got ADRENALINE DOMINANCE 24  |
into medical school I studied at least three or four hours every
night because I was interested in medicine. Most people whose work requires thinking skills, such as
lawyers, doctors, and scientists, as well as the heads of almost
every corporation, by my definition probably have ADHD. For
example, Bill Gates, as most people are aware, left college after
his second year, obviously not because of lack of intelligence. People have observed that he paces a lot, rocks back and
forth in his chair, and taps his foot all the time. These are all
symptoms of too much adrenaline. TYPICAL TYPE ADHD
People with what I call typical type ADHD  are inclined to
be physically active. They are intelligent but may have trouble
focusing. As adults, they might smoke too much or drink too
much. Sometimes they have anxiety issues. They often have a
history of being easily irritated and quick to anger, even road rage, and may have high expectations of other people. As children they may be thin, since their hyperactivity
allows them to burn up sugar before it can be stored as fat. As
they approach middle age, they are less active and may start
putting on weight around the middle, caused by excess insulin. The excess insulin can also cause symptoms of hypoglycemia:
sleepiness in the late afternoon or after eating or while traveling
in a car. People with typical type ADHD  commonly display other
symptoms of high adrenaline. These include restlessness—
tapping their hands or feet during the day, restless leg syndrome,
tossing and turning or grinding their teeth at night—and they
may have trouble falling asleep. Stated another way, adrenaline
can be considered a form of natural speed.|   25 ExCESS  ADRENALINE: THE  gOOD

People with typical type ADHD are inclined to be
physically active and display other symptoms of
high adrenaline, such as restlessness and having
trouble falling asleep. There is frequently a strong family history of associated
hormonal problems—a brother who is bipolar, children or
nephews and nieces who are hyperactive, relatives who have
type II diabetes or fibromyalgia. Since ADHD  is associated
with low progesterone levels among the women in the family,
there may be a history of breast cancer, endometriosis, or other
conditions associated with estrogen dominance. Characteristically, when hyperactive children get into
high school and college, they often get involved in sports,
and later on in life they often become type A personalities or
workaholics. Adrenaline drives high activity. It is the hormone
that allows people in certain professions to perform their jobs. Men and women involved in the military, law enforcement,
or professional sports can attribute many of their abilities to
adrenaline. I suspect that many of these people had the classic
symptoms of typical type ADHD  when they were younger. Children with typical type ADHD  are often treated with
drugs such as Ritalin, Adderall, or Strattera, which actually
increase the level of adrenaline in the brain. Because they
increase adrenaline, these drugs can have the effect of numbing
the brain. They can also cause serious side effects, including
sudden death or suicide. On the other hand, treating this
condition with progesterone, diet, and nutritional supplements
can, in most cases, eliminate many of the unwanted symptoms
of ADHD  without the need for medications. ADRENALINE DOMINANCE


 may
feel weak and limited. The guilty intolerance of our inner thoughts and
feelings are projected onto the world, making the world look like a fearful
place. Because these fears are held in mind, fearful events and experiences
are literally brought into our life experience. Fear results in chronic anger
and makes us prone to attack and to inner emotional chaos. Pain and
suf fering occur, with periodic despair and proneness to emotional upset. The ego-mind, which sees everyone as separate, is envious of anyone else
who appears happier, more successful, or with a better relationship, a better
body, or better connections. Soon, because of a lack of inner clarity about
goals, there is confusion leading to self-pity, envy, and further resentment. Self-condemnation gets endlessly projected onto the world, taking the form
of condemnation from others, which increases further the guilt and feeling
of smallness. For some of us, the only escape is through grandiosity, intolerance,
bigotry, arrogance, and anger, which take the form of cruelty, over -bearingness, brutality, and insensitivity to the feelings of others. Often the
insensitivity comes with self-excuses, such as: “I am an upfront person who
speaks my mind,” or “I am the frank type; you always know where you
stand with me.” These comments are a cover -up for insensitivity, which
might be better described as gauche. The low self-esteem results in
criticism of self and others, constant competition and comparison,
analyzing, contempt, intellectualization, doubt, and fantasies of revenge. When all of those mechanisms fail, there is the recurrence of apathy and
feelings of hopelessness and victimization. In such a state, we become
progressively alienated because there is so much of ourselves that we must
hide. Our behavior leads to isolation from others and an imbalance due to
over -valuation of the areas of life that do seem to work. Because of this inner chaos, the average person must of necessity stay
unconscious at all times. It is interesting to watch the means that the mind
has invented to accomplish this end. W e watch as a person gets up in the
morning and flips on the radio or the television to immediately get the mind
of f the self and its mental chatter. Despite the extra amusement, thoughts
and feelings tend to arise until the mind becomes preoccupied with the
projects of the day, work, and various schemes of accomplishment or
pleasure. It starts the preoccupation with the body—all of the brushing,
washing, perfuming, powdering, deodorizing and carefully selecting the
clothes for the day. The choosing of clothes brings up all the schedules of
the day, its busyness with activities that have all been crowded into the day:
the endless appointments, phone calls, errands, social engagements, home
responsibilities, and emails. On the way to work or the day’ s activities,
there is the chatting with companions, listening to the car radio, making the
cell phone calls, sending text-messages, and reading the morning newspaper
on the subway. Once at the destination, there follows the preoccupation
with the external events of the day: the business, the deals, the bar gains, the
arrangements, the worries, the manipulations, the endless search for power,
the quest for “strokes,” and the ever -present fear of survival. All of this is
motivated by the desire to somehow derive meaning and security, and to
increase our self-esteem and ensure our self-worth by whatever means. The franticness of the struggle is not really realized until we are
suddenly forced to discontinue it by some external event. Then, we are
confronted with the internal emptiness. This calls for the incessant ingestion
of novels, magazines, television, and websites. Or, the emptiness is avoidedby the constant going to parties, escaping through drugs, numbing out with
a few drinks, watching movies, and pursuing other amusements. W e tend to
do just about anything to avoid facing that feeling of inner emptiness. There is nothing wrong with any of these activities, in and of
themselves. What we want to examine is only the state of consciousness,
the state of awareness, and the manner in which the activities are perceived,
pursued, and experienced. In a state of inner freedom, these same events
and experiences take on a totally dif ferent significance. The identical activities can stem from an inner sense of happiness, self-
worth, and completeness. The same goals can be fulfilled through the
realization of our inner achievement rather than competition with others. Relationships become sharing and loving rather than jealous, competitive,
and driven by the seeking of “strokes” and approval. When we are free of
negative drives, we enjoy gratifying relationships because we love people,
not because we are attached to them. W e can allow the other person to be
free, not subject to jealousy and threat. W e are not the victims of
manipulation by others because we have already found an inner fulfillment. As negative thoughts, feelings, and attitudes are relinquished, we re-
own the power that we had given over to the world. Much of the attraction
of the world is due to the glamorization that we have projected onto it. Questions arise for self-reflection: “Is it really all that money that I want, or
is it the glamour that I have attached to it? What is it that I want from that
job title or from that designation of “Dr.” and “Esq.” and “Rev.”? Is it the
responsibility and activities that go along with it, or is it the glamour and
esteem associated with it? Do I really love that person, or am I in love with
the glamour I have projected onto him or her?”
The more we let go, the more we de-glamorize the world. The more it
is de-glamorized, the less it runs us. W e are not at the ef fect of glamour and
can no longer be manipulated by it. W e are no longer vulnerable to the
professional programmers of the media and the political and social arenas. W e are no longer at the ef fect of an inner need for approval from others. W e begin to love people for what they are, not for what they can do for
us. W e no longer need to exploit others or try to win them over. As our own
level of guilt decreases, our self-esteem expands. Relationships are now
based on integrity, and we are no longer subject to emotional blackmail. As
a corollary, we stop trying to blackmail others with emotional pressure. Because relationships are based on honesty, and they exist and function on ahigher plane, there is no longer a fear of alienation or feeling of aloneness. The surrendered person no longer needs others for personal fulfillment but
is with them out of choice because of love and enjoyment. Compassion for
others and for their humanness transforms life and all relationships. The State of Inner Fr eedom
What does life become when one continuously surrenders? What is
possible? In the surrendered state, we are independent of the outer world as a
source of satisfaction because the source of happiness has been found
within us. Happiness is shared with others so that, in relationships, the
surrendered person is supportive, sympathetic, encouraging, patient, and
tolerant. There is an ef fortless appreciation of the worth and values of
others and a consideration for their feelings. Power struggles, being “right,”
and proving our point have been relinquished. There is an automatic
nonjudgmental attitude and the supporting of others to grow, learn,
experience, and fulfill their own potentialities. There is an easy-going,
nurturing acceptance of others. W e feel relaxed, vibrant, and full of ener gy. Life events flow automatically and ef fortlessly. W e no longer respond from
a motive of sacrifice or “giving up” something for others; instead, we see
ourselves as being of loving service to others and the world. Life events are
seen as opportunities rather than challenges. The personality is gentle and
open with a willingness to let go and surrender nonstop because of the
unfolding and ongoing inner process of continuous revelation. As the process unfolds, we feel an inner transformation. This leads to a
consistent feeling of gratitude, pleasure, and certainty about our goals. There is a living in the present rather than a preoccupation with the past or
the future. There is a trusting defenselessness because the power that was
projected onto the world has been re-owned. There is an inner feeling of
strength and invulnerability leading to an inner serenity. At first, there is the identification, “I am the body.” As the mechanism
of surrender continues, it becomes quite obvious that, “I am the mind that
experiences the body, not the body.” As more feelings and belief systems
are surrendered, there eventually comes the awareness, “I am not the mind
either, but that which witnesses and experiences the mind, emotions, and
body.”Through inner observation, there is the realization of something that
remains constant and the same, no matter what goes on in the external
world or with the body, emotions, or mind. W ith this awareness comes a
state of total freedom. The inner Self has been discovered. The silent state
of A wareness that underlies all movement, activity, sound, feeling, and
thought is discovered to be a timeless dimension of peace. Once identified
with this A wareness, we are no longer at the ef fect of


life did not used  to be as magical as it is now. My life used to be full of
struggle and dif ficulties, but I di scovered something fantastic ab out life, and
what I discovere d is everything I am sharing with you in th is b ook. No thing
is too big for the force of love. There is no  dis tance too great, no obstacle it
cannot o vercome; time cannot stand in its way. Y ou can chan ge anyt hing in
your life by harnessing the greatest power in the univ erse, and all you have
to do is give love! The Point of Cr eation
Y ou can  tend to think of the things you want as really big things, but your
perspective is way out  of proportion when yo u think that way. When you
think so mething is really big, in ef fect you're saying to the law of attraction,
"This is so big it's going to be dif ficult to  achieve, and it's probably going to
take a really lon g time." And you will be right,  because whatever you t hink
and feel is what you will receive. If you think your desire is really big, you
will create dif ficulty and a time delay in receiving what yo u want. But
there is no big or small for t he law of attraction, and there is no concept of
time for the law of attraction.T o help you have the true perspective of creation, no matter ho w big your
desire may seem to you, think of it as the size of a do tl Y ou may want a
house, car, vacation, money, the perfect partner, your dre am job, or
children. Y ou may want to rece ive full health in your body. Y ou may want
to p ass e xams, g et into a partic ular college, break a world reco rd, become
president, a successful actor, lawyer, writer, or teacher. It doesn't matter
what it is you w ant, think of it as the size of a dot, because for the force of
love, what you want is smaller than a dot! "Our doubts ar e traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win." (W illiam Shakespear e 1564-1616)
If you find your faith wavering, just put a dot in the center of a lar ge circle
and next to the dot write the name of your desire. As often as you like, look
at your drawing of the dot in the circle, knowing your desire is  the size of
that dot for the force of love! How to Change Something Negative
If there is something negative in your life and you want to change it, the
process is th e same: Give love by imagining and feeling that you have what
you want. Remember that anyth ing negative is a lack of love, and so you
have to imagine the opposite of  the negative situation, because its opposite
is lo vel For exam ple, if you hav e an illness that you want to be  gone, give
love for your body being healthy. If yo u a re using the Creation Process to change something negative, know
that you do not have to t urn the negative into a positive. That feels really
hard to do and it is not how creation works. Creation means som ething new
is created
 - wh ich automatically replaces t he old. Y ou don't need to think about what
you want to change. All you have to do is give love for what you want, and
the force of love will replace the negativity for you. If a  person is injured and receiving medical help, but things are not
improving, it means they're imagining and feeling the injury more than
they're imagining and feeling a full rec overy. The way to tip the balance to
recovery is to imagine and feel having a full recovery, more than not having
it. The fact that you can imagine a full recovery means that it already ex ists! Impregnate your magnetic field with good feelings about anything and
everything that makes you feel good. Ramp up your love in every area of
your life. Feel goo d as much as you can, because every moment of giving  love brings
a full recovery. "Y our feelings ar e your god. " (Chanakya350-275 BC)

Whether you want to change yo ur health, money, relationships, or anything
else, the  process  is the same! Imagine what you want. Imagine and feel the
love of having it. Imagine every  scene and situation you can with what you
want, and feel that you have it now. T ry spend ing seven minutes each dayimagining and feeling having w hat you want. Do it each day un til you feel

you longer. Then simply get on with  your life, giving as much lo ve and as
many go od feeli ngs as you can because the more love you give, the faster
you will receive what you desire. After you've imagined and felt having what you want, you're literally in a
new world with what you've imagined, so don't contradict the new world by
telling e veryone about an injury that's not improving, because t hen you are
imagining the worst again, and you're back in the old world. As you
imagine the worst, that's what y ou will receive back. As you imagine t he
best, that's what you'll receive back. If somebody
asks how  your injury is doing, you can say, "I am feeling o ne hundred
percent again and my body  is following." Y ou can say, "This has been a
blessing because  it has made me appreciate my body and health more than I
ever have in my life." Or if you are bold enough you can say, "I have a full
recovery by the horns." Y ou can 't talk about something you don't want without feeling bad. It's that
simple, but people are so used to not feeling good a lot of the time, they
don't even notice how bad they feel when they're imagining and talking
about w hat they  don't want. Wh en you become more aware of  how you're
feeling, and you care more about your feelings, you will get to the point
where the slightest dip in your good feelings will be unbearable for you. Y ou will become so used to feeling go od, you'll be so aware of your
feelings, that if they dip you will feel it and you'll get yourself back to
feeling good right away. Y ou are supposed to feel good and be happy most
of th e tim e, beca use you are meant to  have an amazing life, and there is no
other way you can receive it! "I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situ ation I may
be;for I have also learned fr om experience that the gr eater part of our
happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon ourcir cumstances." (Martha W ashington W ife Of Geor ge W ashington, First
Pr esident Of The United States 1732-1802)

H o w  t o  E l i m i n a t e  Bad  F e e l i n g s
Y ou can change anything in your life by changing how you feel. When you
change how you feel about any subject, the subject must change! But in
changing the way you feel, don 't try to get rid of bad feelings, because all
bad feel ings are  simply a lack of love. Instead, you put love inl Y ou don't
try t o ge t rid of anger or sadness ; anger and sadness are gone when you put
love in. There is nothing to dig out of you. When you put love into you, all
bad feelings are gone. There is only one  force in life and that f orce is love. Y ou are either fe eling
good because you are full of lo ve, or you are feeling bad because you are
empty of love, but all your feelings are degrees of love. Think of love as if it is water in a glass, and the glass is your body. Whe n a
glass has only a little water in it, it is
empty of water. Y ou can't cha nge the water level in the glass by waging war
on the emptiness and trying to rip out the emptiness. The emptin ess goes by
filling the glass with water. When you have bad  feeling s, you are empt y of
love, and so when you put love into yourself, the bad feelings are gone. D on't  R e s i s t  Ba d  F e e l i n g s
Everything has its perfect place in life, including bad feelings. W ithout bad
feelings, you would never know  what it feels like to feel good. Y ou would
just feel the one "blah"
feeling all the time because you would have nothing to compare your
feelings to. Y ou wouldn't know what i t feels like to feel really happy;excited, or joyful. It's through feeling sadness that you know how good it
feels


  LACT ATION  TEA : Sweet water lactation tea is a staple beverage
used in traditional Ayurvedic postpartum care practices. This simple
formula can be started immediately after birth and drunk every day for the
entire sacred window. It can also be supportive beyond the sacred window
in times you may feel your milk supply dropping. The tea is simply ⅔
teaspoon fennel seeds and ⅓  teaspoon fenugreek seeds in 8 cups of water—
according to Ayurveda, fennel and fenugreek are some of the best herbs for
supporting lactation. Bring the water to a boil and let the seeds simmer for
five or ten minutes. The seeds can then be strained out and the tea can be
poured into a couple of thermoses. Keep these thermoses near your bedside
table and nursing station, and drink them throughout the day. HERBAL  CHEWING  MIX : Many digestive spices are likely to already be in your
kitchen cabinet: chapter 8 gives directions for an herbal chewing mix
created from fennel seeds, sesame seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes,
turmeric, cardamom, clove, ginger, and mineral or black salt (see this page ). These are all known to support good digestion, and thus overall well-being
for mama and babe. Beginning two or three days after the birth and
continuing for forty-two days (or as desired), take a teaspoon of this mix
after savory meals twice daily. GARLIC : Garlic, well roasted in ghee, supports agni, and thus appetite,
digestion, lactation, grounding, and immunity. It also greatly minimizes the
risk of infection and generally speeds up the post-birth recovery process. See the “Garlic Chutney” recipe on this page. SHATAVARI : The herb shatavari (described more in chapter 9) is a beautiful
post-birth breast milk enhancer that also rejuvenates the body in a deep
way, strengthens and nourishes the tissues, and balances the hormones and
moods/emotions. Shatavari is traditionally used to maintain the healthy
production of female hormones. It supports a healthy immune system and
assists in both physical and mental digestion. It is sattvic (pure,
harmonious) in nature, calms the mind, and promotes love and devotion. You can add shatavari to milk tonics (see this page ), warm smoothies, or
any cookie or laddu  recipe—half a teaspoon is a suf ficient serving. Begin
using shatavari eight or nine days after the birth, when digestion is stronger,
and enjoy for the rest of the postpartum time or longer. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
CESAREAN BIR TH: Everyone and every body is dif ferent, so the time
frame for a mama’ s sacred window is simply a recommended amount of
time. But as a general rule, in the case of a cesarean birth the mother will
need extra care and longer time to heal than with a vaginal birth—after a C-
section, the postpartum window traditionally extends to eight weeks. Ayurvedically speaking, when thinking about the healing needed for the
mother, we look at the qualities of the birth. A cesarean birth has increased
exposure to an environment that aggravates vata. The operating room is
cold and bright; the sur gical instruments are cold, sharp, and penetrating; air
can become trapped in the abdomen; and the hospital setting can be
unfamiliar, and therefore unsettling. Being mindful of the fragile state you may be in after this type of birth,
the following are considerations about “extras” to keep in mind for your
care:
Extra fragility. After undergoing a major abdominal surgery, you will
be in an especially vulnerable state. Following a cesarean birth, you
can receive marma therapy for the first two weeks, and then
abhyanga massages can begin, avoiding the incision site until it is
fully healed. Extra mobility support. Especially within the first few days, you
may need support walking, sitting up, holding your baby, getting out
of bed, sitting on the toilet, getting into and out of the shower, and
any other necessary movement. Extra nutritional considerations. Rebuilding agni is essential after
a cesarean, as it is for all postpartum mothers, but following a C-
section, the amount of fat and oil (ghee) in agni-building recipes
should be reduced. Excessive oleation can inhibit the reconnection
of the tissues at the incision sites. Extra care for mentally digesting the experience. Come to
peaceful terms with your birth story. This is especially necessary for
mothers who have undergone an emergency C-section rather than a
planned one, but it is relevant for all postpartum mothers. Share your
thoughts and feelings with your support person. Extra attention to swelling. IV fluids can sometimes cause extra
swelling in the body, and this is especially common for mothers after
a C-section. Gentle massage of the lower legs and feet can helprelieve swelling. Drinking coriander tea will also aid in eliminating
excess fluid. Adding ¼–½ teaspoon gokshura  herb to your milk,
dashamula tea, or soups can reduce fluid retention. Extra attention to warmth on the abdomen. As the abdomen
specifically was exposed to the vata-aggravating qualities mentioned
before, it will need extra attention. Applying warmth through the
medium of warm water bottles or bags on the abdomen will bring
vata into balance. After a couple of weeks, a cloth soaked in castor
oil placed on the skin will reduce discomfort and heal the tissues. Ayurvedic recommendations for enhancing mama’ s physical well-being
after a cesarean birth include these other tips:
Use a warm water bottle over your incision site. Put 1–3 drops of lavender and helichrysum essential oils on the
bandage or incision site (after removing the bandage) one or two
times daily to prevent infections and speed healing. Use a hot water bottle to relieve the shoulder and mid-back pain that
may occur five to ten days after delivery. Wait ten to fourteen days before starting abhyanga massage. Receive marma therapy treatments until massages begin. Use less oil, fat, or ghee in all your recipes until the incision site has
knitted back together.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

relationships, the relationship between you and your little one refines you. It
will stretch you to become patient by giving you opportunities to practice
patience; to become more loving not because you want to be, but because
any other response will leave you more frustrated; to see all the patterns of
reaction that you have learned throughout your life and to exercise your
ability to respond with more kindness, more awareness, and more love. It is important to mother purposefully, with intention and love, rather
than acting and reacting from an unconscious place. Your actions in the first
years are being soaked up by your little one’ s psyche and forming their
views of themselves and the world around them. They are learning in every
interaction: Am I worthy of love? Can I give love freely? Is it okay to ask
for what I need? Will my needs be met? Am I safe? Is the world safe? According to Ayurveda, the element of ether is heightened in a baby. They are connected, tuned in; they feel everything. They can feel subtle
energy, and if you pay close attention, you will notice that they behave and
act dif ferently based on the subtleties of their environment. They feel if
there is hostility. They feel when your actions are coming from a place of
love or when they are coming from a place of anger, resentment, or
frustration. The underlying ener gy of all your actions instills foundational
beliefs within your little one, and therefore how they learn to interact with
the world. I remember when my little guy kept biting me when he first got his two
bottom teeth. Every few minutes while nursing he would chomp down on
my nipple. I started to feel frustrated, feeling like he was doing it on
purpose. From this frustrated place, I put him down on the bed, moved to
the other side of the bed, and turned my back to him. Suddenly, I realized what I was doing. Oh my God.I turned and looked


temperament, always a handicap upon thorough and efficient ac complishment. And it is interesting to speculate upon the kind and
the amount of labor with which the genius in ill health might have enriched the world had he been the possessor of a physical ly
normal body. Would this work have been of a quality surpassin g that which was produced by forced concentration; or would the
physical ease of health have removed the spur of accomplishment. We cannot, if we would not eventually fall short of our desired achievements, afford to discriminate in favor of either m ind or
body. The development of each is equally essential to the greatest and best results from the other. Hence, given a body free from
any organic trouble, the successful enjoyment and prolongation of life is as much dependent upon intellectual developme nt as
upon physical, and vice versa. It is thus apparent that the work that the brain can perform is in highest degree proportional to and dependent upon the phys ical
condition of its body. To repeat, a functionally perfect brain is the product only of a physically perfect body. And it is to be
emphasized that the brain is not a producer of energy, nor of vitality, nor of the mental processes. It acts but as a medium of
reception and transmission, and it in itself no more thinks than do the words that  express a thought. Mind, as received from the
creative source, is perfect; its expression is affected by the functional ability or inability of its human instrument. The mysterious forces, energy and vitality, which are seen manifested in the life o f the body, exist outside of and independent of
the human vehicle. A healthy organism is one that is in position to liberate these principles in the form of power, mental an d
physical, as it is needed in the activities. Human beings possess what are known as the conscious and subconscious minds. The conscious mind controls those acts which
are subject to the will and those thoughts which are produced by brain effort in conscious moments. The subconscious mind cov ers
that which occurs without conscious  perception. The conscious mind could not possibly send messages to the numerous glands
that fit the body for action, nor attend to all the delicate adjustments that enter into the process. The conscious mind in m ost of us
does not even know of the existen ce of the organs and secretions involved. But there is a something in mentality that is without
conscious perception, and that takes advantage of all of the past, gauging means to an end with perfect nicety. Page 60 of  72     All processes of healing are subconscious. Even pain and the distressing symptoms of sickness are to be regarded as benevolent
warnings that sharply remind us of our condition, and that compel the repose which we require, or that deter us from admittin g into
the system substances which are injurio us. They not only point to the existence of a mind that is subconscious, but they indicate
how great a part that mind plays in the curing of every form of disease. Anything that weakens or depresses the subconscious mind
exposes us to disease by making us less able to resist its encroachments. And, on the other hand, we possess such allies and
resources within ourselves that the chief function of the physician should be to awaken in his patients the will to live, and  to
employ every element of resistance wh ich the system itself affords. If humanity since its creation had constantly been caring for its individual bodies, no condition of disease could make its
appearance suddenly. There could be no physical collapse, for cancers, tumors, Bright's disease, diabetes, etc., all require time to
develop, and in a body that is both mentally and physically conscious, their beginnings cannot help but be observed, understo od,
and remedied. For he who is in the habit of caring properly for his body, who understands  and obeys natural physical law, cannot
for one day neglect his course of action, because, subconsciously if not consciously, he is subjected to irritation and disco mfort. To
illustrate, he who is used to pure air cannot endure a vitiated atmosphere, and h e who bathes his body daily, in case of omission,
finds his skin figuratively talking to him because of its neglect. A diseased body is the product of a process development that began with its birth, for every symptom in its finality is
cumulative. T he colds and fevers of infancy and adolescence, the causes of which are imperfectly eliminated, leave their residue to
accumulate until the eventual crisis occurs. And, as in the physical so in the mental realm, disease of the mind, and in it w e include
crime as well as insanity, are symptoms of unbalance, often produced because of physical reaction. Crime begins in small acts,
develops like a cancer, and in reality it is to be regarded as a cancer of the conscious mind, and hence should be treated as  is
disease. Instead, society punishes the discovered victim. Insanity is but another form of unbalance that in many instances aris es
from functional physical disturbance, yet it, too, is handled as is crime, its sufferers being subjected to police authority in ways that
are reminders of the dark ages. And since brain troubles in great part arise from functional physical derangement, their alleviation and cure is to be sought  in
systemic bodily purification. The text fully covers the manner in which the lat ter process may best be accomplished, in fact the
only way in which it can be done. And, could the fast and its hygienic accessories be introduced and scientifically administe red in
all asylums, insane as well as criminal, of the land, numbers of their inm ates would be restored both in mind and in body. And
further, in those in whom mental incapacity is due to organic structural defects that hamper normal function, the form and de gree
of the latter would at once be revealed, and the knowledge thus gained wo uld determine to what extent treatment should be carried. And it is probable that among even these severely afflicted sufferers there might be many who could be brought to mental
responsibility. Apart from its therapeutic worth, a trial of the method in pu blic institutions offers two other points of merit, viz., it
would ameliorate much of the suffering now undergone by stimulated unruly patients who need restraint, and it would lower by
many thousands of dollars the expense of caring for these wards of the  state. But, if not for the sake of those who pay taxes, at least
for the salvation of those detained in asylums for the insane and criminal, the method is entitled to a thorough investigatio n and
trial at the hands of government. To many minds the thought that human life is in any way connected with or dependent upon ordinary natural agencies carries
with it denial of faith in the divine. Reasoning thus, these intellects segregate in toto spirituality from materiality, refu sing to
recognize their manifest interdependence. A calm retrospect of the history of the Christ causes one to know that Jesus, apart  from
his spiritual endowment, was a man in the flesh and of the flesh; that he was subject to the laws of the body, to its nec essities and
to its temptations. It is written, "Jesus was led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when h e had
fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. " The application of this fragment of sac red history to the subject matter of the text may not be obvious, but brief explanation will
serve to show that the related incident is distinctly pertinent. Fasting the body for the sake of health was understood and f ollowed
by the older civilizations; an d fasting for the attainment of that higher mentality which borders upon spirituality is still employed
by the members of that system of philosophy known as Yoga, in which meditation upon the supreme spirit is inculcated as the w ay
to final beatitude. That  the Christ acquainted with and was learned in these practices is fully substantiated by the evident purpose
and scientific completion of a period of forty days and nights of abstinence from food. Jesus never overturned natural law; h e
worked with it alway s, and his statement concerning prayer and fasting in disease is easy of analysis. "More things are wrought by
prayer than this world dreams of. " And fasting, physical in application, conduces to the highest degree of mental clarity. Th e body,
purified of its dross, approaches more nearly the spiritual vehicle it is intended to be. Successfully conducted to the point of the
return of hunger, the body and its brain are enhanced in substance and in function. In this condition difficulties are solved,
decision s are made, and conclusions are reached with marvelous clearness and despatch. The Gospel relates that Jesus was led up into the wilderness for the purpose of being tempted --a test through which mere man
passes daily, and ofttimes daily fails to meet. But Jesus, before temptation assailed, fasted for the approximate time needful for
physiological purification of the adult body, and the fast concluded, we are specifically told, with its physiologically corr ect
symptom, the return of hunger. We do not e rr, we think, in attributing to the Christ in the flesh the experiences of the flesh. Why
Page 61 of  72 else should he have been subjected to temptation. And physically there must have been need for regeneration, for the incident
occurred just before the beginning of hi s active ministry, when all of his power of endurance was to be called forth, and mental
acuity more than normal was to be commanded at every future moment of


SPRAIN  “ A young woman had a sprain in her vertebral column which developed particularly in the fourth and fifth vertebra, where swelling appeared. She was unable to look straight, forward or side ways, due to intense pain. She could not sleep comfortable. She was taken to Bombay and she was subjected to radium-rays on doctor's advice. But there was no relief at all. Thereafter she was admitted to Mission Hospital, Arand. The plaster of paris was fixed on her back, and for a full 3 1/2  months she kept to her bed. But there was no improvement at all. The pain became more intense day by day. Finally she was urged to adopt Urine Therapy. The experiment started with rubbing. After seven days, some improvement was noticed in her condition. With the rubbing of 15 days, the swelling on the vertebral column started to disappear.

About a dozen doctors had diagnosed him as a T.B. patient and had given treatment. They had given up on the case as incurable. Occasionally he had attacks of blood-vomiting and dysentery. The temperature continued from 100 to 101 degrees along with the cough. He could not relish or digest any food. His body was reduced to a bare skeleton. Even the slightest exertion caused gasping. 208 I gave him homeopathic treatment for about four months and he felt some relief. After two months, the patient again sent for me, and after examination, I found that the disease was still there. I advised him to drink one ounce of his own urine in the morning, and it was gradually increased to 3 oz. and three times a day. He was also advised to rub urine before going to bed and wash the body with warm water the next morning. The improvement began with the first day of the treatment and gradual relief was felt in dysentery, fever, digestion, vomiting, weakness and anemia. Due to dysentery, the weight had been reduced to 80 lbs., but it increased to 100 lbs. by two month's of treatment. There was an astonishing improvement in his appearance, nature, color, vigor in the body. Nobody could say Mahta had suffered from a fatal disease. I had permitted him from the very beginning to take a simple and digestible diet, as it was dangerous to keep such a weak patient on a fast."

I advised her to fast to which she replied that while fasting she felt very weak and after breaking fast she ate double the amount of usual food so it was of no use. I then asked her to fast with urine and water. Fortunately this girl has had a previous experience of urine therapy for the treatment of pains in menses and she was convinced of its effectiveness. She promised to follow the advice and lost extra weight by fasting five times in a month for two days at a stretch. She has been able to retain her looks since then. She takes urine often and fasts occasionally. The secret of success is that while fasting with urine, the patient does not feel weakness as in ordinary fasting. 209  Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  WET DREAMS
