 that, yet their fears
are groundless. Once the liver and the digestive system are fully restored, normal elimination
takes over, even in those who had previously suffered from constipation. The Castor Oil Treatment
As we explained above, the toxins released from the liver by the all-important coffee enema
still have a long way to travel, down the 25-27 feet long small intestine, then through the 4-5 feet
of large intestine, before they can leave the body via the anus. In the course of this evacuation it is
unavoidable that some of the released toxins get re-absorbed. It takes time—sometimes too much
time—to expel from the body the accumulated residues of years of faulty eating, plus the toxic
breakdown products of tumors. Time being of the essence on the program, particularly in the case
of seriously ill patients, Dr. Gerson saw a real need to speed up the elimination process in order
to reduce the re-absorption to a minimum. To achieve this, and also to clear accumulations in the
small intestine, which the enema cannot reach, he added the castor oil treatment to the intensive
therapy. This consists of taking castor oil by mouth as well as by enema, to speed up and reinforce the
release of toxic residues from the intestinal tract. The patient is awakened at about 5 a.m. to take
2 tablespoonfuls of castor oil, followed immediately by 1⁄2 to 2/3 cup of regular black coffee (not
enema coffee or concentrate), sweetened with 1⁄2 teaspoonful of Sucanat or other organic dried
cane sugar. (Diabetics do not take sugar in this coffee.) People who object to sweetened coffee
need to understand that the sugar is necessary to activate stomach peristalsis and counteract low
blood sugar.. Breakfast is taken as usual. Five hours after the oral administration of the oil, at 10
a.m., a castor oil enema is taken, instead of the normal coffee enema. This is how the castor oil enema is prepared, using a second enema bucket  exclusively
reserved for this treatment:
Put 4 tablespoonfuls of castor oil into the enema bucket. Add 1⁄4 teaspoonful of ox bile powder
and stir well to mix thoroughly. Prepare the regular enema mixture of 8 ozs of coffee concentrate,
plus 24 ounces of purified or distilled water. Warm to body temperature. Get hold of a cake of
mild toilet soap (NOT detergent), e.g. Lux, Camay or similar, immerse it for a few moments in
the coffee and rub some of the soap, but no soap chips, into it. Next, mix the slightly soapy enema
coffee into the castor oil with the ox bile and stir well, to emulsify the solution as well as possible. You may use an electric stirrer, but the somewhat emulsified oil will still rise to the top while you
are trying to take the enema. In fact, most patients find it impossible to stir the solution vigorously
enough to keep the oil mixed into the coffee on their own; they need a helper to do that. When the
coffee plus castor oil is all infused, try to hold the solution for a little while, but you are unlikely Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comto succeed. It doesn’t matter, release when necessary. This enema does its work very fast. The castor oil treatment is taken every other day for the first 4-5 months of the intensive
therapy, and then slowly reduced. Please Note: patients pre-treated with chemotherapy must
not use the castor oil treatment. Patients react to the castor oil treatment in widely different ways. For many it is just a mild
inconvenience—due to the powerful cleansing effect of the oil, on castor oil days it is wise to
stay close to the bathroom. Others find the taste and weak smell of the oil off-putting. This can
be mitigated by eating a small piece of fruit before taking the oil, or having half an orange handy
and sucking it immediately afterwards. Some patients simply add the oil to the cup of coffee,
then use a straw or a glass tube, inserted into the oil, to get it into the back of the mouth, followed
immediately by the coffee to chase it down. This is the only occasion in the Gerson program when patients are made to drink  coffee. It
is done in order to activate the stomach muscles and move the oil out as fast as possible, so that
the patient is not nauseated for hours while the oil remains in his or her stomach, but is able to
enjoy breakfast and the juices that follow. A few patients have tried to substitute peppermint or
some other herb tea for the coffee, but undoubtedly coffee works best and should be taken, even
by those who don’t normally drink it. Cleaning the Equipment
Like all other tools of the Gerson program, the enema bucket has to be kept clean. But since
the anus, rectum and colon are  not sterile, the equipment need not be sterilized. After each use the
bucket has to be rinsed with hot soapy water, running it through the tube as well, and then rinsed
again thoroughly to remove the soap. Two or three times a week it is wise to put a cup of 3%
hydrogen peroxide (from the supermarket or drug store) into the bucket with the clamp closed,
and let it stand overnight to kill any germs or impurities. Rinse it out before the first use in the
morning. CAUTION: If you keep the plastic tube attached to the bucket, it will eventually become
loose and even slip off, treating you to an unwanted coffee shower. Check the fit frequently and if
necessary, cut an inch or so from the loosened end of the tube and replace the tight part. You can
prevent accidents by removing the plastic tube every time before running hot water through the
bucket, so that it shrinks back to its original size and remains tightly in position. The bucket reserved for the castor oil treatment is also cleaned as above, but with generous
use of hot soapy water, in order to get rid of any oily residues. Wipe the inside of the bucket with
a piece of absorbent paper to finish the cleaning.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comPossible Problems
Many patients learn the enema routine without difficulty and get to enjoy the feeling of
lightness and added energy yielded by the practice. Others, however, experience difficulties,
which need to be eliminated. In the following we list some of the problems that may arise. Patients may arrive at the hospital with a massive accumulation of stools in their colon, caused
by the use of heavy pain-killing drugs, including morphine. These tend to paralyze peristalsis (the
alternate contraction and relaxation of the intestine, by which the contents are propelled onward),
causing severe constipation. As a result, these patients are unable to take in a quart (32 ounces) of
the coffee solution, let alone hold it in. The answer for them is to take whatever amount they can
comfortably accommodate, stop, and hold this as long as possible, even if only for a few minutes;
then release, and take the remaining coffee solution. Again, hold it and release after 12-15
minutes. As a rule, after two or three days, when the colon has been cleared of old accumulations,
the enemas can be taken and held without difficulty. Some patients may suffer from gas retention, which stops the enema from getting into the
colon. When that happens, a small amount—say 6-10 ounces—of the coffee can be infused, after
which the bucket is lowered to the patient’s level, allowing the coffee to flow back into the bucket. This often releases the gas, causing some ‘bubbling’ in the bucket. Next the bucket is raised again,
and after the clearing of the gas the enema can continue more easily. The patient is supposed to take the enema lying on his/her right side, in order to help the
coffee solution to get into the transverse colon from the descending colon. But as a result of
surgery, arthritis or tumors, the right side may be too painful to lie on. In such a case the patient
has to lie on his/her back, with the legs pulled up, and proceed from that position. If a patient suffers from severe irritation of the colon, a small portion of the coffee concentrate,
say  2-4 ounces, can be diluted with chamomile tea instead of water. The smaller amount of coffee
will still help to detoxify the liver, while the chamomile tea soothes the colon. There is no time
limit for the use of chamomile tea. In case of severe diarrhea, an enema of chamomile tea only is
used for gentle cleansing morning and evening
To prepare chamomile tea, put 1 ounce of the dried flower heads into a glass dish, add 1
pint of boiling water, cover the dish and stand it in a warm place, letting it infuse for


 greatly backs up the body’s lymphatic system
causing cell auto-intoxication. In our arrogance and blindness we humans overlook the truth that is
always right in front of our faces. If the body can miraculously repair itself in
ways such as broken bones, deep cuts, re-growth of various gland and
tissues, then why can’t it repair nerves? Well it can, but not on cooked, dead
foods, and foods that make the body’s pH acidic. Neurons are the highest energy centers in the body. Not only do they
require an alkaline “soil” to regenerate in, they require the highest energy
foods—fruits. Fructose is a high-energy simple sugar, which lends its energy
effortlessly to your cells. This holds true in all neurological issues including
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Bell’s palsy and even asthma. Note that all ofthese neurological weaknesses have an adrenal weakness as a precursor. In all neurological issues, including injuries, it is vital that the adrenal
glands be enhanced along with the rest of the endocrine gland system. It is
also vital to live on a 100 percent raw food diet. I had a forty-year-old female
brought to me one time with advanced multiple sclerosis. They brought her
lying on a stretcher, completely rigid. After three months on a fruit diet she
could sit up, feed herself, and even mobilize her own wheelchair. Since she
was so thin and small I needed to encourage her body to produce more
muscle tissue, so I started her on vegetable juices and salads, as these foods
are full of amino acids. Guess what? She lost her mobility temporarily. Why? The answer can be found in the difference between the electrical charge
of a
fruit versus that of a vegetable. When I put her on a diet of fruits alone she
began to regain strength. The power that raw foods have to revitalize the
physical body is almost unlimited. I’ve seen the body pull itself back from
some pretty precarious edges. It took a while for this young lady to
regenerate herself, but with such a degenerative condition it would naturally
take a significant time to turn the body around. A predominately fruit diet
was essential to maintain nerve response. It is important to realize here that your body cannot regenerate itself with
toxic chemicals. Toxic chemicals are seen as invading foreign proteins that
will only serve to further acidify your tissues, creating further damage, and
constant inflammatory immune responses that have to be treated with steroids
—causing a vicious circle. Electrical stimulation is not the answer either. People dance around the truth refusing to embrace it. Money is generally the
motivating factor. Because of greed, people would rather create
moneymaking “treatment” systems (like illness-care institutions, drugs,
surgeries) than learn the underlying truth about disease. THE SAME ANSWER—ALKALIZE

Strengthen every cell in your body through diet and herbs. Remember
Alkalize, Alkalize, Alkalize! It is the only way. I also recommend a high
quality, herbal, brain and nerve formula to further strengthen the spinal
column, nerve centers and brain tissue. Also it is essential to enhance the
adrenal glands. This is where a great many of the body’s neurotransmitters
and steroids are created. Another consideration in neurological disorders and injuries is thethyroid/parathyroid. The parathyroid hormone is necessary for proper
calcium utilization. You can find out how well your system is working by
taking the Basal Temperature Test (see
Appendix A
). With good calcium
utilization and an
all raw-food diet
 your success is almost guaranteed. At the very least, the quality of life of those suffering from nerve damage
are much improved with the elimination of urinary tract infections, over-
spasticity, pain, cellulitis, obesity, and deterioration of tissue. At the very best
they experience total recovery. The whole body can become healthy and vital
again. Don’t ever give up or believe the body can’t regenerate itself. Our bodies
become very acidic and toxic from the foods that we have been taught are
good for us. The body cannot regenerate when it is full of inflammation,
mucus, parasites, toxic chemicals, metals and excessive hormones. Dead
animal flesh, cooked mucus-forming dairy foods, acidic “fatty” grains and
refined sugars only serve to destroy the body. Become alive again. Regenerate yourself and let the miracles begin. MODULE 5.7Diabetes: Types I and II

U.S. Government figures, January 2003, report 17 million Americans with
diabetes. For a disease that is so devastating in its effects upon the body,
diabetes is one of the easiest to overcome. I say this respectful of the fact that
there are some difficult cases, especially in the more advanced “brittle” types,
or what is called type I or juvenile diabetes. There are basically two types of diabetes. Type I, which is usually called
juvenile or brittle diabetes, fits in the category of insulin dependent. Type II,
or what is referred to as late onset diabetes, is considered non-insulin
dependent diabetes. It can, however, become insulin dependent. In my opinion there is very little difference between these types except
the associated tissue weaknesses in type I, which have become much weaker
through genetic transmission. To better understand the disease called diabetes
let’s examine the tissues and cells involved and the cause behind their failure. THE ROLE OF THE PANCREAS

One of the glands involved in diabetes is the pancreas, which is both an
exocrine and an endocrine gland. The pancreas is located behind the stomach,
in front of the first and second lumbar vertebrae, situated horizontally with its
“head” attached to the first part of the small bowel (the duodenum). The “tail”
of the pancreas extends to the spleen. The pancreas has two vital jobs to perform, without which the body
could not live. First, is the secretion of major digestive enzymes. Sodium of
bicarbonate is also released at this time to alkalize the stomach contents so
these digestive enzymes can work.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        In the concluding module, called Body Language, you will find a listing
of the many symptoms that point to a weakness or failure in one or more of
the body’s glands, organs or systems. You can learn to “read” the important
information that your body is always giving you. MODULE 5. 1
The Three Root Causes of Disease

FIRST ROOT: INHERENT (GENETIC) WEAKNESSES

Inherent weaknesses are cellular codes (cellular memories) that set the
condition of tissue and how it responds to life. Your physical body is a
genetic imprint of your family tree, and your cellular strengths andweaknesses come from your genetic history. This is true throughout your
body. Cells were originally created by God, but the memory of how well a
cell functions is what constitutes our genetics. As we mature, we either make
our inherent weaknesses weaker or stronger depending upon our lifestyles. This is extremely important to understand because currently each generation
is becoming weaker instead of stronger. Today, more than ever, people are
consuming and injecting huge amounts of toxins into their bodies. We are
now seeing cancer (a form of degeneration and chronic toxicity) in the early
teens; chronic and degenerative issues in infants; and birth deformities as
never before. When organs and glands are underactive from genetics,
inflammation or toxicity, a host of imbalances and disease conditions can
result. It is easy to understand the concept of genetics. Our physical bodies
came from Mom and Dad, which means we will have many of their
characteristics, physically, mentally and emotionally. There is also a little of
grandmother and grandfather in us too, as their characteristics, encoded in
their genes, have been passed down through our parents. Geneticists say that
we carry in our bodies and psyches the legacy of four previous generations. However, in my practice I have seen genetic patterns that have clearly been
passed along for many more than four generations. Every cell in your body is
a genetic cell—each a blueprint of its parent’s cell. Cells become strong or weak depending upon what genetics has dictated
to them as well as from the effects of one’s lifestyle—that is, by what you eat,
drink, breathe, what is absorbed through your skin, and by what you think
and feel (emotions). Cells live and function from their memories of their experiences, just as
we do. Certain experiences leave us weak and vulnerable, and the same is true
of cells. Physical acids and toxins can weaken and injure cells. Genetic
memories add to or subtract from the cell’s overall state of health. The impact
of all this together determines the strength or weakness of cells, organs and
glands, and whether or not they will provide the necessary functions they
were originally designed to perform. If you inherited a weakened thyroid,
weak adrenal glands or liver, for example, the duties of these tissues will be
compromised and their ability to produce hormones, digestive enzymes,
steroids, or whatever, can be greatly diminished. This then affects your whole
body and how it functions. Disease of one sort or another is the result. For
another look at this issue see “About Consciousness and Disease” later in this
section. As a society we must begin to repair our weaknesses and rebuild ourcells so that future generations can live. Remember, nature never procreates
the weak. The weak are

 corning  out of the unknown, is to say the
same thing of ex- perience. The  expericnce  you
have  just had  has van-
82 ON BEING  AWAR.E
ished irretrievably, and all that remains of it is a sort
of wake  or track  in the present,  which  we call
memory. While you can make a guess as to what ex-
pericnce is coming nexc, in actual  fact you do not
know. Anything might  happcn. But the cxpcrience
which is going on now is, as ir were, a newborn in -
fant which vanishes be(ore it can even begin to gct
older. While you are watching this present experience,
are you aware of someone watching it? Can you 6nd,
in addition to thc cxpcrience itsclf, an expericncer? Can you, at the same time,  read this scntence and
think  about  yoursclf  reading  it? You will find  that,  to
think about yourself reading it, you muse for a brief
second stop reading. The first experience is reading. The second experiencc is the thought, "I  am read -
ing." Can you find any thinker, who is thinking thc
thought, "I am reading?" ln othcr words, when pres -
ent cxpcriencc  is the  thought,  "l am rcading," can
you think  about  yoursclf  thinking  this thought? Once again,  you muse stop  thinking just,  "I am
reading." You pass to a third expcrience,,vhich is the
thought, "l  am thinking that  I am reading." Do not
lct thc rapidity with which Ihcsc thoughts can change
deceivc you in1.o tite fccling that you think thcm ali
at once. But what has happened? Never al any time wcre
you able  to separate  yourself  from  your  present
thought,  or your  present  cxperience. The  first  pres -
83 TJIE  WISDOM  OF INSEClJRITY
ent experience was reading. When you lried to
think  about yourself reading, the experience
changed, ancl  the next present experience was
the thought "l am  reading." You could not
separate yourself from this  experience without
passing on to another. lt was  "ring around 1.he
rosy." When you were thinking, "I am reading this
sentence" you were not reading it. In  other
words, in each present experience you were
only aware of that experience. You were never
awarc  of bcing aware. You werc ncver able to
separatc the  thinkcr from  thc thought,  the
knower  from  the known. All you ever found was a
new thought, a new  experience. To be aware, then, is to be aware of thoughts,
feel- ings, sensations, desires, and ali other forms
of ex - perience. Nevcr at any time are you aware
oE any- thing which is not cxpcrience, nota
thought or feel - ing, but instead an experiencer,
thinker, or feelcr. lf this is so, what makes us
think that any such thing  exists? We might  say,  for cxample,  that  the 'T' who  is
the
thinker is this physical body and brain. llut this
body  is in no way separate from its thoughts and
scnsa - tions. Whcn you have a sensation, say, of
touch,  that sensation is pan of your body. While
that sensation  is going on, you cannot move the
body away from it  any more than you can walk
away from a headache  or from your own feet. So
long as it is present, that  sensation  is your  body
and is you. You  can removc  ON BEING  AWARE
the body from an uncomfortable chair, but you
can- not move  it from  the sensation  of a chair. The nolion  of a separate  thinker,  of an "l" dis-
tinct from the experience, comes from mcmory
and from the rapidity with which thought changcs. lt is  like whírling  a burning stick to give the
illusion of a  continuous circle of ti.re. If you
imagine that memory  is a direcc knowledge of che
pase rather chan a present  experience, you get the
illusion of knowing the past  and the prescnt at the
same time. This suggests t hat there is something
in you dislinct from both the past  and che present
experiences. You  reason,  "I know  chis present
experience, and it is different from that  past
experience. If 1 can compare the two, and notice
that experience  has changed,  I muse  be something
constant  and apart." But,  as a matter  of fact,  you cannot  compare  this
present experience with a pase experience. You
can only compare it with a memory of the past,
which is a  parl of lhe presenl experience. When you
see clearly  chat memory is a form of present
experience,  it will  be obvious that trying to
separate yourself from this  experience  is as
impossible as trying to make your  teeth  bite
themselves. There  is simply  experience. There is
not something or someone experiencing ex -
perience! You do not fccl feelings, think thoughts,
or sense sensations any more than you hear
hearing, see  sight,  or smell smelling. "I feel fine"
means  that a fine feeling  is present. It does  not
mean  that  there  is
85 THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
one thing called an  "I" and another separate  thing
called a feeling,  so that  when  you bring  them  to-
gether this 'T' feels  the fine feeling. There  are no
fcelings but present feelings, and whatever feeling
is prescnt is "I.'' No onc  ever found an 'T' apart
from  sorne present experience, or sorne
experience apart  from an "I"-which is only to say
that the two are the  same  thing. As a mere  philosophical  argument  this is a waste
of
time. We are not trying to have an ''intellectual
dis- cussion." We are being awarc of the Cace that
any separate  'T' who  thinks  thoughts  and
experiences  expcricnce  is an  illusion. To
undcrstand  this is  to realize that life is entirely
momentary, that there is  neither permanence nor
security,  and that  there  is no 'T' which  can be
prote  ted. There  is a Chinese  story  o[ onc who  came  to a
great sagc, saying, ·•¡ havc no peace of mind. Please  pacify  my mind." The sage  answered,
"Bring  out your mind (your T) bcfore me, and I
will pacify it." ''These many years,"  he replied,  "I
have sought my  mind, but I cannot find it." "There," concluded the sage,  "it is pacified!" The real rcason why human life can be so
utterly  exasperating and frustrating is not beca  use
therc are  faces  called  dcath,  pain,  fear,  or
hunger. The mad -
ness of the thing is that when such facts are
present,  we circle, buzz, writhe, and whirl,  trying
to get  the "I" out of the experience. We pretend
thac  we are
86 ON BEING  AWARE
amoebas, and try to protect ourselves from life by
splitting in  nvo. Sanily, wholeness, and  integration
líe in the realization that wc are not clividcd, that
man and his presem cxpcricncc are onc, and that no
separa  te "l" or mind  can  be  found. While the notion that I am scparate from my ex-
perience  remains,  there  is confusion  and turmoil. Because of this, therc is ncither awarencss nor under -
standing oE experience, and thus no real possibility
of assimilating it. To understand this momcnt l must
not try to be divided from it; I must be aware of it
with  my whole  being. This,  like rcfraining  from
holding my breath for ten minutes,  is not something
I should do. In reality, it is che only thing 1 can do. Everything else is the insanity of attempting the im -
possible. To understand music, you must listen to it. But so
long  as you are thinking,  " [ am listcning  to this
music," you are not listening. To understand joy or
fear, you  must be wholly and  undividedly aware of
it. So


 persist to this day in the flower- and
fruit-filled valleys south of the Central Asian Plateau. Conditions
were also ideal for the grasses. In the more temperate regions, these
were relatively short growing, enabling especially adapted trees—the typical temperate tree flora a nd especially the fruit trees, which
are well suited to a grassy environment—to grow interspersed with
grass, producing orchard- and park-like conditions. The Miocene saw the rise of that great family of grass eaters,
the herbivora. Their virtual defencelessness indicates that these
were also benevolent times, when beasts of prey were few. These
are better adapted to the jungles of the tropics, and the tall grasses of
the tropical savannas. The carnivora cannot persist long in a
chase—the nature of their diet hinders long sustained effort—so that
they must surprise their prey and kill quickly and surely, conditions
not met in the short grass lands of the semi-tropical and temperate
regions. In all probability, it is these c onditions which persisted,into the
Pliocene, which lured the hominid ancestors to become ground-
living, thus isolating themselves from the other primates which
followed the retreating tropical vegetation as the world climate
became colder as the Miocene passed into th e Pliocene. The popular
notion that our ancestors took to the ground in order to prey on
game is nonsensical. Man is not equipped as a natural hunter; in
every hunting community, he has to learn the skills of hunting the
hard way. That human beings have lived as intermittent hunters
since the onset of the Ice Ages do es not alter the fact that their
bodies remain totally unadapted to this way of life. Man's gait and
posture, the remarkable co-ordination of hand and eye, the entire
digestive and metabolic equipment, point to a native plant food-
gatherer, an activity calling for communal co-operation and
participation which is at the heart of socializing drives. From the first therefore, the abundant seeds of the grasses
probably formed an intrinsic part of man's diet. In many parts of the
world to this day, handfuls of grass seeds can be easily collected by
sieving the spathes through the fi ngers. Such seeds have the further
advantage that they will keep; they can be eaten raw, or ground into
flour and made into porridge, pancakes, biscuits, chappatis and the
endless varieties of flour usage found all over the world. With the
ending of the Ice Ages some ten thousand years ago, it was
inevitable that mankind should set about selecting the most
congenial of the grasses, so bringing into being the cereals, closer to
the nuts in size, and virtually identical in composition. It is this ideal human diet of fruits, shoots and seeds which
enabled the evolution of society, for its concentration made much
time available for social activities. In bringing about a reduction in
the length and size of the alimentary tract, it enabled man also to eat
other foods, far from his ideal, in order to survive during the Ice
Ages. In a mind-bearing creature, such a departure from the ideal is
likely to have had the most disturbing effects on the mind. In the
next chapter, the way in which th is transgression of natural law has
affected the human mind will be traced. 7. The Sources of Evil

It was earlier mentioned that human needs for protein are lower
than is usually stated, and that animal foods not only provide an
excess of protein, but introduce into the body economy unnatural
nitrogenous substances. It is a biological law that an animal can only deal efficiently with substan ces to which it has become adapted
in the course of its long evolution. Changes in size and shape can be
brought about in a few generations, but functional changes require much more time. Recent estimates of the time necessary for evolving quite different metabo lic and enzymatic lines, such as
would be incurred in a radical change of diet, runs into many millions of years. In every function studied, man remains identical
to the higher primates, to the chimpanzee, the gorilla and the gibbon
in particular, which means that the nearly universal'mixed' type of
human feeding is an abnormality and is bound to cause some sort of functional trouble. The possible consequences to the body have been pointed out from time to time by medical men and other
scientists, but most people have cons idered the risks worth taking, if
indeed they have been willing to accept the evidence of bodily
damage at all. It is only recently that the effect on the mind has become more apparent. The price that has to be paid for such widescale dietary transgression seems truly enormous. As far back as 1931, Quastel and Wheatley had indicated that certain products
of protein digestion, especially  those resulting from bacterial
decomposition, possessed properties analogous to the most potent mind-affecting drugs such as mescalin, which might play a role in mental disturbances. At the time, this information was felt to be awkward, if not preposterous, possibly because it was felt unlikely
that such an important item of food could be incriminated in mental
disorder. Whatever the reason, it is only some forty years later that
the problem was reopened, when the role of the monoamines in brain functioning was discovered. Ketz distinguishes between the biogenic amines, manufactured by the brain tissues, responsible for
normal mental states, and a wide range of slightly altered
monoamines which could be responsible for more unusual states, like mystical ecstasy, hallucinati ons and 'high' dreams. Between
normality and psychosis, one might find a graduation of subtle alteration of the monoamine molecules. Since mescalin was isolated in 1943, the biochemical
connection of the more elusive aspects of human experience, in
love, in the arts, in mystical a nd other states, has been apparent. Evidently, nature has made use of  drug-like substances produced by
the brain itself, such as reserpine. This does not imply that the mind 'is nothing but a chemical brew', but it does indicate that even the
most elusive mental functions, such as the humanizing sensitivities,
have a biological basis, an indication which should be obvious enough if the universe is a consistent enterprise. Although engendered by brain cells, there is every indication that mental experience in itself is not a part of the physical and chemical order. But whatever the nature of the mind, it is undoubtedly very much
affected by biochemical events. There is a definite pharmacology of the soul. The monoamines are products of protein metabolism, a fact
which makes the proteins as important to the mind as to the body. The finer aspects of protein metabolism are only now beginning to be unravelled. For too long it has been crudely assumed that brain and body can manufacture their protein needs from any kind of food protein, so long as the chemical building blocks are supplied. Very
slight changes in molecular structure, barely detectable by the
chemist, can have profound effect s on living functions, particularly
in such a precariously balanced one as the brain, with its billions upon billions of cells and interconnections. Ketz has suggested the
possibility 'that the different amines give some characteristics to the
newly synthetized proteins, impar ting a "colour code" of affective
qualities as it is being formed'. Very slight shifts from the normal might have enormous affectiv e, emotional, behavioural
consequences. For every so called 'normal' protein that features in nutrition,
there may be millions of such mi nor abnormal molecular variations. Although the body does possess an outstanding ability to select the protein ingredients it requires, this ability is only likely to refer to the ingredients which form part of the normal nutritional pattern, a pattern minutely and exactingly set by evolution. The possibility already referred to, of a wide conf usion regarding the 'normal' in
human nutrition, makes it possible that the human mind is exposed
to protein products which are in  various ways abnormal, with
possibly momentous effects on brain function. The abnormal amines could be both manufactured in the body
during the metabolism of abnormal proteins, as well as by bacterial
action on protein wastes in the alimentary tract, especially in the
colon, on the nitrogenous products which have resisted absorption, usual in a'mixed' diet. It is here that one can make a clear distinction between foods of animal  origin, and of plant derivation. Besides the large amounts of proteins in animal foods, there are a host of substances related to the amines, the purines and the
pyramidines, and those released by putrefactive changes. These
form what analysts term the extractives, consisting of the more easily hydrolyzable and soluble protein products, and therefore all the more easily absorbed. These are completely absent in fruits and
many vegetables, and only present in minor amounts in seeds and
nuts. However, some plant foods do contain significant amounts
also, as does cocoa, yeast extract, and many pulses. On a diet of fruit and vegetables, low in protein, a fermentative
bacterial flora prevails, which is  biochemically the opposite of
putrefication, a living process in which yeasts are active, producing B vitamins and other substances usef ul to the body. Putrefaction is
rightly associated with death. On a'mixed' diet, not only is protein
usually in excess, but the vegetable fibres present hinder the digestion of protein, providing more wastes for the putref


 time on the foot this
time, yet it hurt less and healed faster. At three weeks, my toe was what I would have considered completely healed be fore, as I could do everything I did before
80/10/10. That’s less than a third of the time it took the first time. Since I’m m ore active now than at any other time in my life, it took
a few more weeks before I could do everything I was doing again—still le ss than half the time it took for a less-severe break that
occurred before going low-fat raw vegan. My foot feels as good as new now an d doesn’t give me any trouble in any of my
activities, even with the contortions and stresses I put it through i n the process. Nice. Now I Love to Exercise! The first thing that I noticed when switching from approximately 20% of  calories from fat to 10% or less was that I felt better. My
body seemed to get down to deeper repair work. My legs suddenly felt lighter and st ronger, too, like they could jump really high
more easily—and they wanted to, so I did. My husband was simultaneously am used and amazed. When I first started eating low-fat raw vegan, I used to have to get my  son or husband to carry the watermelons I got at the
market. Now, not only do I carry them myself with ease, I can even carry t wo of them at a time—and they’re each twice as big,
too! For the first time in my life I actually truly want  to exercise. I find myself looking for excuses to move my body, which is very
foreign to me indeed. I had always been one to find excuses to sit where I was  and not exercise. Never before have I experienced
looking forward to my free time in order to exercise! As a result, I’m sta rting to look more athletic. People now think I’m a dancer
or a gymnast. I feel so physically adventurous now—loads more than I ever was bef ore. I’m no daredevil or anyth ing—I’m  not skydiving or
bungee jumping—but I have become more athletic, and I’m willing  to try new things that require physical activity, purely for th e fun
of it or just to see if I can. (It’s not hard to be more willing than I use d to be … heck, I wasn’t at all  willing before.) I’m no
bodybuilder, although my body’s been building itself quite nicely. I have been gaining strength, endurance, and muscle weight whil e
eating this way—once I got rid of most of my excess fat, that is. I discovered new physical abilities, as well. My balance, coordination, and de xterity dramatically improved somehow, even at
the beginning, before I had been active much at all. My aerobic exercise  had always been limited by my breathing capacity, because
I would lose my breath long before my muscles would get enough of a workout to work ou t my heart. Now, in retrospect and in comparison, it was like I had been running on dirty fu el when I exercised before. Suddenly, aerobic
workouts felt so “clean” and “crisp.” I felt like I could go forever (but my  heart wasn’t used to it, so I took it gradually). I could
breathe really deeply and not have that sick and dirty feeling at the  beginning. It was and still is great! Now when I’m exercising, I
feel happy and my body feels happy, which makes me happier, which gives me more  energy and motivation to keep exercising,
which makes me even happier, and so on … I love it! I’ve never felt like thi s before. Until I was following Dr. Graham’s program for a while, I never was a ble to do full-on push ups, even though I used to
bodybuild a bit in college and could do hundreds of bent-knee push-ups in various han d arrangements when doing martial arts in
high school. I discovered that I could do a full push-up after eating this wa y for a time, and I worked on them to see how many I
could do. I got up to 23 in a row before I moved onto something else. I later went back to push-ups, going airborne this time by quickly powering th e pushing so that at the top of my full push-up
my hands and toes hop off the ground while keeping my full body tight and straig ht! I got up to 15 in a row before I got sidetracked
with pull-ups. I got a pull-up/chin-up bar for myself and couldn’t even pull my self up enough to make a movement at first—as had been the
case all my life. My husband showed me how to help myself with a step stool an d after a month, I could lift myself halfway up. Exciting! It wasn’t much longer before one day I pulled myself al l the way up—without the step stool. My chin was all the way
above that bar on my own—not just above but high  above, so the bar was at my chest and my chin was above the door! Not long
after that, I became hooked on Ashtanga yoga practice, so I haven’t c ontinued with the chin-ups much since. I’m having so much
fun! I went surfing for the first time ever about a year into the 80/10/10  lifestyle. I did pretty darn well, especially for a then thirty-
eight-year-old mom who had only ridden a skateboard a few times (for only a few  feet each time), a boogie board once, and a
surfboard not at all. I stood up and rode the very first wave! I was catching l ittle waves on my own and riding after only about 45
minutes. Cool! I belonged to a health club for a while about a year into 80/10/10  and was surprised to find myself, a petite 5'2", then 98-
pound woman, lifting about the same weight or more than the businessmen t here, without effort. I was more surprised to find that
some days I could just keep adding more and more weight, seemingly to no end. I woul d go with small increments, so on those
days, I usually ended up getting tired from the number of reps before the wei ght ever got to be too heavy. Big guys were always there lifting tons of weight in order to build m ore muscle and get more “cut”…and then there’s little old
me lifting relatively minute amounts of weight while my muscle s just burst out. I can actually feel my muscles growing during m y “off”
time, and they don’t get sore if I eat fruit afterwards like Dr. Graham s uggests. It makes me feel bad for them—if only they would
do their exercises properly and follow Dr. Graham’s program, they’ d get much better results for their time and effort. These days, I no longer go to the health club, as I’ve gotten more into bodyw eight exercises, Ashtanga yoga, aerial fabric,
dance, and other things. I also have free weights at home and at work, if I dec ide that I want to use them. The machines are fun, but
they aren’t “calling” me right now. This Is Eeeeeasy …
I have found this way of eating is much, much, much easier, quicker, and mor e efficient than any other I’ve tried. Life itself has also
become easier overall. Not only do I have greater peace of mind, increased phy sical abilities, increased energy, and greater health and happiness, but my personal needs are so much simpler and easier to meet t han before. I have more time and resources to spend
on other things. My life is very full of activities and responsibiliti es, so this improvement really helps. I know that there is no way I could have done all that I have done and all that  I am doing, if I were still eating any other way. Since beginning Dr. Graham’s program, I started homeschooling my  gifted and dyslexic son with self-created custom curricula,
started two corporations with my husband, organized a local branch of our chur ch, was ordained as one of the clergy, and
counseled members of our congregation. I have also started a homeschooling  support group, a raw food support group, and
organized regular raw food potlucks, all with corresponding websites. I am still doing all of these things now, and I am also writing two books, filmi ng a video/TV series, working on building up my
fitness level, doing occasional work for long-standing clients from my ol d consultancy, and of course, continuing to maintain terrific
and loving relationships with both my husband and my son. Now I find it much easier to go places for the day, or even a few days. I have le ss stuff to take with me. I no longer need to
walk around with a water bottle on a shoulder strap so I always have wat er. I don’t even use it during the day now. I still drink
water in the morning and after intense exercise, but I don’t find th e need for it otherwise. My body regulates its temperature better,
so I don’t need to take as many clothing options with me when going out, eith er. Because of my autoimmune condition, I used to get sunburned almost in minu tes, at times even in the shade, whereas now I
can stay in the sun without a burn  ten times longer than I used to. My skin is not tan yet, but it’s not pas ty anymore.

The “ secret” no long er has the capacity to “corrode and destroy.” What is your ex perience with
this? Is there anything right now that you are holding inside of yourself? Are you willing to share it
with another person (sponsor, friend, counselor, minister)? If so, how did it go? 4. Dr. Hawkins says, “The way out of the pit is to be concerned about someone else. W e get higher
with every act of love, every loving intention, and our willingness to for give self and others.” How

the “payof f ” to staying there? (Remember that Dr. Hawkins boils down the journey o f liberation to
this: “ The only thing you need to know about any barrier is what the ego payof f is. What is the
juice that the experiencer is getting out of that positionality, that negativity, that ‘stuck’ place?”)
2. Notice that as a r esult of letting go of a single “I can’ t,” the man’ s entire life changed. The

Consciousness Calibration
HIST OR Y AND METHODOLOGY
The basis of this work is research done over a 20-year period, involving
millions of calibrations on thousands of test subjects of all ages and
personality type s, and from all walks of life. By design, the study is clinical
in method and t hus has widespread, pragmatic implications. B ecause this
testing m ethod is valid in appl ication to all forms of human expression,
calibrations have successfully been taken for literature, architecture, art,
science, world events, and the co mplexities of human relationsh ips. The test
space for the d etermination o f the data is the totality of the human
experience throughout all time. Mentally, test subjects ranged from what the world calls “normal” to
severely ill psychiatric patients. Subjects were tested in Canada, the United
States, a nd Mexico and throughout South America and Northern Europe. They were of all  nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, and religions, ranging in
age from children to elders in their 90s, and covered a wide spectrum of
physical and emotional health. Subjects were tested individually and in
groups by many dif ferent testers and groups of testers. In general, the
results were identical and reproducible, fulfilling the fundamental
requirement of the scientific method: perfect experimental replicability. Subjects were selected at rando m and tested in a wide array of  physical
and behavioral settings: on top of mountains and at the seashore, at holiday
parties a nd duri ng the course o f everyday work, in moments of joy and
moments of sorrow. None of th ese circumstances af fected the test results,
which were found to be univer sally consistent irrespective of extraneousfactors, with the singular exception of the methodology of the testing
procedure itself. Because of the significance of this factor, the testing
method will be described in detail below. THE TESTING TECHNIQUE
T wo per sons are required. One a cts as test subject by holding out one arm
laterally, parallel to the ground. The second person then presses  down with
two fing ers on the wrist of the e xtended arm and says, “Resist.” The subject
then resi sts the downward pressure with all his strength. That is all there is
to it. A statem ent may be made by either party. While the subject holds it in
mind, hi s arm’ s strength is tested by the tester ’ s downward pressure. If the
statement is negative, false, or r eflects a calibration below 200 ( see Chapter
3 ), the test subject will “go weak.” If the answer is yes or calib rates over
200, he will “go strong.”
T o demo nstrate the procedure, one might have the subject hold an image
of Abraham Lincoln in mind while being tested, and then, for contrast, an
image o f Adolf Hitler. The same ef fect can be demonstrated by holding in
mind someone who is loved in contrast to someone who is feared or hated,
or about whom there is some strong regret. Once a numeric scale is elicited  (see below), calibrations can b e arrived
at by stating, “This item [such as this book, or ganization, this person’ s
motive, and so on] calibrates over 100,” then “over 200,” then “over 300,”
until a negative response is obtained. The calibration can then  be refined:
“It i s over 220? 225? 230?” and so on. T ester and testee can trade places,
and the same results will be obtained. Once one is familiar with the
technique, it can be used to evaluate companies, movies, ind ividuals, or
events in history; it can also be used to diagnose current life problems. The test procedure, the reader will note, is to use the muscle test to verify
the truth or falsi ty of a declarat ive statement. Unreliable respo nses will be
obtained if the question has not  been put into this form. Nor ca n a reliable
result be obtained from inquiry  into the future; only statemen ts regarding

liquid, by contrast, is increased. After all, the water output from
body excess salt, toxins (toxins). Waiver of water - a dangerous
stupidity. Comes dehydration and intoxication
decay products, rather than cleansing. Ordinary water from - the tap in the modern city brings
catastrophic damage due to inadequate cleaning
industrial waste. In addition, it is usually chlorinated. From
such water is rapidly released free chlorine, chlorine dioxide
and other compounds, oxidizing in the body much that
oxidize does not need it. In addition, chlorine kills the beneficial bacteria
synthesizing essential vitamins. When boiling destroys bacteria, coagulated colloid
particles of dirt, water softens evaporate volatile organic
substances and of free chlorine. But the increase in the concentration of salts,
heavy metals and pesticides. Chlorine is associated with organic matter, with
heated, turns into a terrible poison - a powerful carcinogen
dioxin. Dioxins are more toxic than cyanide - to 68 times. We drink boiled water, but it is slowly killing us. On standing water for at least three hours, reduced concentration
free chlorine, but in practice does not remove iron ions, salt
heavy metals, carcinogenic organochlorine compounds,
radionuclides. Distilled water (vapor passed
state) is unsuitable for permanent use, because it does not
contains the trace elements necessary for an organism. Permanent
its use leads to impaired immune system,
heart rate, the process of digestion. Filtering
Water also can not give the desired effect. To know
what filter to buy (carbon, membrane, bactericidal,
complex), we first need to have information about the composition of the water. Also
requires regular replacement of filters, because after a certain
time he begins to give back to the water accumulated pollution
and breeding in their microflora. In the dry starvation
the body does not need to recycle water to the extent to which
this was done when eating and drinking during normal operation. Obviously, the kidney and liver under dry starvation almost
complete rest, which is not the fasting with water. When
dry starvation of their recovery is much faster. Therefore,
154
154the effectiveness disappears by itself, but there is still a
a concept as feasible. For example, some people can not
afford dry fasting for many reasons, and starvation on
water can sustain. Having a 14-day fasting on water, I successfully went from
starvation and began to eat normally. Then he felt the weight of
in the kidney area. Besides, before I even knew they were there with me or
no. and there is nothing surprising about the last 10 days of fasting
I'm just starved for water, and the kidneys had to work hard. But other
organs of the body is successfully carried out maintenance work. When leaving after seven days of dry discomfort not
observed. Try it yourself. After the dry fasting body
more viable, more quickly restored, the better the results. Average time of dry fasting can stand it, but it is necessary
careful preparation and training. Talking about the dangers of kidney dry fasting means not to understand
processes that occur during fasting. Correct to
would ask, but do not cause a modern drinks and our water from
- Tap water harm the kidneys? kidneys in our body are one
of the main organs of selection. And they can be called direct
excretory organs - they filter the blood, display excess
water, waste materials generated as a result of exchange
processes in the cells of the body, unused material,
resulting from digestion of food, medicines, etc. All this
diluted with water, filtered from the blood plasma. Must
remember that almost all the liquid entering the body,
gets into our blood stream, goes through a series of transformations in the body
(Purified, structured, is heated or cooled), which is
spent a lot of energy, and only after that
transformed into the urine. Therefore, the quality of drinking water is very strongly
affects our health. But our kidneys - is not a
a separate body, living an independent life, they are
part of our body. and it is strong enough
body. To damage the kidney with a dry fasting, it is necessary
to try very hard. Their injury - most often a consequence
failure of other organs and systems, respectively, and the need to treat
the whole body. To cure kidney disease
need to clean up the activity of the organism as a whole. One of the
ways to restore lost health - dry starvation. It
allows the body to self-correct all violations
in its activities. It affects not only at a certain
organ or system, and provides recreation impact directly on all
organs and systems of our body. In most renal diseases, dry fasting makes
significant positive effect. If under normal medical
treatments load on the kidneys does not decrease, but
Conversely, increases due to the selection through their products
155
155the collapse of drugs, the fasting load
kidney is significantly reduced. So, if in the first days of fasting
there are significant changes in urine even in healthy people
at the exit from fasting observed persistent normalization of
urine. Urine is a sick person comes quickly to normal
state - disappears protein, erythrocytes, leukocytes, decreases
amount of salts that are bred in the urine. Thus, the treatment
glomerulonephritis in order to remove the aggravation, which is usually
manifested higher amounts of protein, red blood cells, swelling,
need long-term treatment of a variety of drugs. When
application of fasting at 3-day 4 the patient decreases
edema, normalization of output of fluid. At the exit
from starvation of the urine is completely normal in a few
days and then remained normal. Very effectively dry starvation in inflammatory
diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. The effect
occurs regardless of the causative agent. Thus, even
in the old days dry fasting has been used successfully for
treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. When pyelonephritis starvation
quickly reduces inflammation, reduces violations
urination (frequent or rare, painful), decrease
and disappear back pain, lower abdomen, normal analysis
urine (disappear leukocytes, increased protein, bacteria and salt). It must be remembered that the kidneys are very closely related to the liver. Most often, kidney disease - is a consequence of liver failure
properly perform its function. Therefore, it is particularly important
hold cleaning procedures prior to starvation and diet
after. In most cases, properly conducted dry starvation
gives good results in most renal diseases. Myth Four. Fasting - a very great stress to the body. Throughout a person's life is accompanied by stress. Stress - a special state body, which is characterized by
enhanced "combat readiness" and increased resistance to
all without exception damaging environmental factors. All of our modern life - continuous stress, and how great
stress for the organism is an operation, especially for young
women, but most importantly - after such stress is the cause
disease. Yes, hunger - a stress for the organism. Just like the cold. But stress is not
necessarily mean harm. It's one thing when people go hungry because he has nothing to
and gets a real threat of starvation. under such conditions can be
seriously ill two days later. Something similar happens when
persons lost or in separate experiments
over itself in the form of compliance with trendy diets. It is quite another thing -

food and water under the supervision of physicians, receive assistance
psychological support when he creates comfortable
conditions, a large number of treatments. Very, very important for any form of starvation - the emotional
mental attitude and preparation. One must not force yourself
otmuchitsya few days without your favorite treats, and positively
configure itself, but in this case is guaranteed success. in this
If the brain does not recognize the danger and sends hunger signals,
does not produce stress hormones. About the third day of fasting
begins active hormone serotonin, and with it
there is a feeling of inner peace and contentment. Abstinence from food (though voluntary) is for the living
organism stress that mobilizes the body's defenses
to overcome difficult situations by using, in the absence of exogenous

vitamin deficiency, the body does not get the protein in time, in addition to fat
uses structural proteins own tissues, primarily
muscles. With regard to avitaminosis, they do not happen when medical starvation. Belief in the opposite appeared in the study

only by eating the flesh of those who had died either during the crash or later
from injuries. A portion of the movie focused on two individuals whose initial
wounds progressed into serious infections. Knowing no way to treat these two, the survivors could only attempt to comfort
them. Eventually the infection led to death. Watching the intense suffering of
these people made me wonder if there was more that could have been done to
save them. I now feel it's very possible that these two people, and thousands of
others around the world would still be alive if they had been aware of the
therapeutic effects of urine. With urine therapy, you get all the benefits of urea plus the additional
antibodies, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones and more. " Dr. William Hitt, Clinica Hitt, Mexico

When Pleasing Others Is Hurting Y ou
You want to do the right thing—to take care of your family, to be a good
employee, to “be there” for your friends. And you’re good at it. Everyone
knows they can depend on you—so they do. But are you really doing what’ s best for them? And what about you—are

and your calling, or do you sometimes think,
“I don’ t even know what I want anymor e.”

. The spinous
process is the outer tip of the vertebra as you move outward from
the center line of the spinal cord. 2. PI-SHU BL-20 MAIN POINT OF SPLEEN
Second point is the Pi-Shu BL-20, which is one and one-half tsun
beside the lower end of the spinous process of Til. This is the main
point for the spleen. It also helps backaches and indigestion. 260 Taoist Secrets Of Love
3. SHEN-SHU BL-23 PALACE OF SPERM/TZU-LIAO BL 32
Third point is the Shen-Shu BL-23. (Palace of Sperm). One and
one-half tsun beside the lower end of the spinous process of L2. Used for kidney, this helps fight infections, lower back pain and
sexual problems. Shen-shu means "palace of sperm". Do on both
sides of the spine for all points. Finally come down to Tzu-Liao, BL-32 on the 2nd posterior
sacral foramen and midway between the lower part of the posterior
superior iliac spine and the median line. It's easy to find; start with
the sacrum, the large piece of bone above the coccyx. Put your
thumb on the point BL-27, which is the last point between the
spinal vertebrae on the sacrum. Put your little finger on your coc-
cyx, and spread the fingers out, and your index finger falls on the
Tzu-Liao. Your thumb should be just at the upper rim of the sac-
rum and the fingers evenly spread out. Another way is to find the point where the sacrum meets the
spinal column. Place the thumb at this junction and then spread the
fingers. This may be easier. Surrounding the outline of the hand are
eight holes of the sacrum. Shang Liao upper hole is on BL-31. The
most important point is the Tzu-Liao BL-32 on the second hole,
then Chung-Liao BL-33 on the middle hole and Hsia-Liao BL-34
on the lower hole. There are more points than those mentioned here. Not all of
the points need moxa every day. Do your back if you have some-
one to help you. You can do it once every two or three days on the
back, combining and alternating with points on your back and
front.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

incarnation of a male and a female entity within the body of the
adept (this might correspond to the Crown Chakra, Sahasrara). These two entities have sexual intercourse within the body. It in-
volves the mixing of the Yin and Yang powers on and about the
crown of the head and being totally open to receive energy from
above and regrowth of the pineal gland to its fullest use. When the
pineal gland is at its fullest, it will serve as a compass to tell us in
which direction our aspirations can be found. Taoist Esotericism is
a method of mastering the spirit, as described in Taoist Yoga. Without the body, the Tao cannot be attained, but with the body,
truth can never be realized. The practitioner of Taoism should
preserve his physical body with the same care as he would a pre-
cious diamond because it can be used as a medium to achieve
immortality. If, however, you do not abandon it when you reach
your destination you will not realize the truth. The Sixth formula consists of:
(a) Mingling (uniting) the body, soul, spirit and the universe
(Cosmic Orbit)The Seven Stages of Taoist Esoteric Yoga 285
(b) Full development of the positive to eradicate the negative
completely
(c) Spirit returned to nothingness
THE SEVENTH FORMULA: REUNION OF MAN AND
HEAVEN
TRUE IMMORTAL MAN
We compare the body to a ship and the soul to the engine and
propeller of a ship. This ship carries a very precious and very large
diamond, which it is assigned to transport to a very distant shore. If
your ship is damaged (a sick and ill body), no matter how good the
engine is, you are not going to get very far and may even sink. Thus
we advise against spiritual training unless all of the channels in the
body have been properly opened and have been made ready to
receive the 10,000 or 100,000 volts of super power, which will pour
down into them. The Taoist approach, which has been passed
down to us for over 5,000 years, consists of many thousands of
methods. The formulae and practices we describe in these books is
based on such secret knowledge and the author's own experience
in over twenty years of study and of successfully teaching thou-
sands of students. The main goal of Taoists:
1. This level—overcoming reincarnation, or enlightment. 2. Higher level—the Immortal spirit. 3. Highest level—the Immortal spirit in an immortal body. This
body functions like a mobile home to the spirit and soul as it moves
through the subtle planes, and allows greater power of manifesta-
tion.TAOIST ESOTERIC YOGA COURSE OFFERINGS
There are now Taoist Esoteric Yoga Centers throughout the
U.S. offering personal instruction in the complete Taoist Body/
Mind/Spirit system. Opening the Microcosmic Orbit is the pre-
requisite for all other courses. If you are having difficulty mastering
the methods taught in this book, it will help to study the Microcos-
mic with a teacher and follow that with a class (usually a weekend) in
the Taoist Secrets of Love/Cultivating Male and Female Sexual
Energy. This will answer personal questions and allow discussion of
many related topics that could not be included in this book. The
Microcosmic course includes the Inner Smile meditation, the Six
Healing Sounds, and the Taoist Rejuvenation exercises. Complementary to the cultivation of sexual energy are the
course offerings in Iron Shirt Chi Kung. This teaches how to pack
energy in various organs and cavities of the body and strengthen
the connective tissue which gives our body its integrity. These
powerful exercises can be performed in a few minutes and will
greatly increase your "rooting" power in the earth. It is an invalu-
able aid to anyone who meditates and tends to get "spacey," for
martial artists, or anyone seeking to increase their immunity
against disease. The higher level Iron Shirt classes strengthen the
tendons and bone marrow, increase sperm count, allow your in-
ternal organs to gain super strength leading to the development of
what Taoists call the "steel body" impervious to attack or illness. A short five minute Tai Chi Chi Kung form is taught in addi-
tion to a longer Yang style Tai Chi Chuan form. Five Finger Kung-
Fu, Chi Massage, herbology and many other related courses in
healing are offered in addition to all the meditation levels described
in the seven formulas.Bibliography

iceps. It
strengthens the gluteal muscles and the hamstrings, and stimulates
the digestive organs.Energetically, Bow pose opens the fourth chakra. Because it so
signiﬁcantly opens the front of the body, it increases the quality of
rajas, which is the energy that awakens us and projects us into the
future. Engage mula bandha and vajroli mudra. Stimulates prana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  Stimulates digestion, can help boost
metabolism, combats depression, helps alleviate upper respiratory
congestion and asthma. Helpful tips: If your quadriceps or hip ﬂexors are tight, try this
pose with your torso close to the ﬂoor. If you have any shoulder
sensitivity, keep your arms alongside your body or practice holding
on to your feet with a strap. OceanofPDF.comBRIDGE POSE: SETU BANDHA SARVANGASANA
Overview:  Like a daily vitamin, this pose helps boost our
immune system and regulate our energy levels when done
regularly. It stretches muscles that are tight and strengthens weak
muscles, creating a harmonious effect on our body, mind, and
nervous system. How-to:  From Constructive Rest pose (see this page), place your
arms alongside your body and your feet into a parallel position.Walk your heels in so that they almost touch your ﬁngertips. Inhale
and lift your hips off the ﬂoor, pressing down into the big toe
mound of the foot. Interlace your ﬁngers underneath you, work the
shoulder blades toward one another, and bring your palms
together to touch. Lift your chin away from your chest as you lift
your chest toward your chin. Benefits:  Physically, this pose is very similar to Flying Locust
pose in that it strengthens the hamstrings, the buttocks, and the
back, and it also supports the quadriceps. It opens the shoulders,
the chest, the thighs, and the hip ﬂexors, and helps correct poor
posture. This pose also stimulates the abdominal organs, the
lungs, and the thyroid gland. Energetically, this pose opens the fourth chakra. It is energizing,
frees the breath, and can help cure mild depression. Engage mula and jalandhara bandha and vajroli mudra. Stimulates prana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  This pose can be helpful in alleviating
asthma, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and sinusitis, and is
helpful with postnatal conditions. It regulates the thymus and the
thyroid gland. When done with a block under the sacrum, this
pose can help ease menstrual disorders. Helpful tips: Place a block in between the thighs to help create
space in the lower back. If your shoulders are tight, keep your arms
alongside your body or hold on to the outer edges of your mat. For
a more restorative option, place a block or a thick cushion
underneath your sacrum. OceanofPDF.comCAMEL POSE: USTRASANA
Overview:  As one of the more intense chest openers, Camel
pose gives a natural boost to your mood and energy level. Not
only does it free up space in the chest, but it frees the breath and
the jiva—the individual spirit—as well, creating a feeling of
expansiveness and liberation. How-to:  From a kneeling position, align your hips directly over
your knees and your shoulders over your hips. Place the hands on
the lower back, ﬁngertips pointing either toward the chest or down
toward the ﬂoor. Engage your lower abdomen and lift your chest
away from your navel as if you had a thread pulling your sternum
up toward the ceiling. Curl your toes into the ﬂoor. Reach for your
heels with your ﬁngertips, keeping your hips stacked over the
knees. Keep the back of your neck long and breathe. Benefits:  Physically, Camel pose stretches the quadriceps, the
hip ﬂexors, the chest, the shoulders, and the throat. It strengthens
the backs of the legs and the muscles along the spine, whilestimulating the adrenals, the kidneys, and the digestive organs. This pose also helps to correct poor posture. Energetically, Ustrasana is mood-boosting and bolsters
stamina. It stimulates the fourth and ﬁfth chakras, enhancing our
conﬁdence and our ability to connect to the outside world,
communicating our truth with love and compassion. Engage mula and slight jalandhara bandha to keep the back of
the neck long. Engage vajroli mudra. Stimulates prana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  Helps with kyphosis, asthma, mild
depression, neck pain, and lower back pain. Indicated for women
during pregnancy. Helpful tips: Place a blanket under the knees if your kneecaps
are sensitive. Put a block in between the thighs to help engage
mula bandha. Place a large bolster or blocks on your calves to
bridge the gap between the feet and the hands and to keep the
backbend in the thoracic spine. OceanofPDF.comINVERSIONS
Two of the most common inversions in yoga—
Headstand and Shoulder Stand—were traditionally
referred to as the king and queen of all the poses because
they encourage the union of Shakti, the divine feminine
force at the base of the spine, to Shiva, pure
consciousness at the crown. When these two forces
converge, yoga happens. Inversions take us into the
unknown, moving us out of our comfort zone and into our
fears, which helps us see both the world and ourselves
from a new perspective. OceanofPDF.comDOLPHIN POSE: SALAMBA SIRSASANA
Overview:  Like Downward-Facing Dog pose, this pose is a mild
inversion. It is a helpful preparation for Headstand, with many of
the same beneﬁts and not as many of the risk factors. If you feel
stuck in your ways, try this posture to shift how you perceive the
world. How-to:  From hands and knees, lower each forearm down onto
the ﬂoor to align the elbows directly underneath the shoulders. Interlace your ﬁngers and press your forearms and outer wrists
into the ﬂoor as you curl your toes into the mat. Lift your hips up,
away from the ﬂoor, and walk your feet in slightly closer, toward the
face. Stay and breathe, letting your head and neck relax toward
the ﬂoor. Benefits:  Physically, this pose opens the calves, the hamstrings,
and the shoulders. It strengthens the upper body and the back,and helps bring blood to the brain, increasing mental alertness. Energetically, Dolphin pose helps us to see things from a new
perspective. It stimulates the fourth, ﬁfth, and sixth chakras,
facilitating a release at the heart, clear communication, and mental
focus. Energetic tip: When coming out of the pose, pause and sit back
on your heels, feeling the reversal of the upward and downward
passages. Like two rivers converging, these passages meet at the
center of the chest, liberating the jiva atman, the individual spirit
that connects us with all things. Engage mula bandha, uddiyana bandha, and ashvini mudra. Stimulates udana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  Relieves mild headaches, fatigue,
sinusitis, and mild depression. Helpful tips: If you have any shoulder sensitivity or high or low
blood pressure, practice Viparita Karani (see this page). OceanofPDF.comHEADSTAND: SIRSASANA
Overview:  Traditionally known as the “king of all poses,”
Headstand opens the crown chakra, which is the energy center that
connects us to inﬁnite intelligence. Although many risk factors
come with practicing Headstand, it can powerfully shift our mind,
body, and consciousness when done safely. By reversing our
relationship to the Earth, Sirsasana also reverses the ﬂow of gravity
in our body and changes how we relate to the world and to
ourselves. How-to:  From Dolphin pose, lower the knees onto the ﬂoor. Switch the position of your head, so that the crown of your head
touches the ﬂoor. Interlace the ﬁngers behind your head and press
your forearms into the ﬂoor, lifting your shoulders up, away from
the ears. Walk your feet in as close to your face as you can. Bend
one knee and then the other toward the chest. Lift your tailboneand slowly begin to extend your legs toward the ceiling, pressing
through the balls of the feet, and peeling the toes back. Stay and
breathe for as long as you can without strain. Please note that you
should not practice this pose for the ﬁrst time without the guidance
of a teacher or an expert, especially if you have any preexisting
neck, shoulder, or blood pressure conditions. Benefits:  Physically, Headstand strengthens the legs, the pelvic
ﬂoor, the abdomen, and the back, and opens the chest and the
shoulders. This pose stimulates the pituit
