 This
weak self-respect is the result of an exceptionally rusty link to the field of
intention. This link must be cleansed and purified, and that takes place
within your own mind. I’ve specifically chosen self-respect as the first chapter in Part II on
applying intention, because without high esteem for yourself, you shut
down the entire process of intention. Without unflagging self-respect, the
process of intention is operating at the lowest levels. The universal field of
intention is love, kindness, and beauty, which it has for all that it brings into
the material world. Those who wish to replicate the works of the universal
all-creating mind must be in harmony with the attributes of love, kindness,
and beauty. If you disrespect anyone or anything that God creates, you
disrespect that creative force. You are one of those creations. If you view
yourself disrespectfully, you’ve forsaken, cast aside, or at the very least,
sullied your connection to the power of intention. It’s important that you recognize that your entire worldview is based on
how much respect you have for yourself. Believe in infinite possibilities and
you cast a vote for your own possibilities. Stand firm on the potential for
humans to live in peace and be receptive to all, and you’re someone who’s
at peace and receptive to life’s possibilities. Know that the universe is filled
with abundance and prosperity and is available to everyone, and you come
down on the side of having that abundance show up for you as well. Your
level of self-regard must come from your knowing within yourself that youhave a sacred connection. Let nothing shake that divine foundation. In this
way, your link to intention is cleansed, and you always know that self-
respect is your personal choice. It has nothing to do with what others may
think of you. Your self-respect comes from the self and the self alone. The self in self-respect. Perhaps the greatest mistake we make, which
causes a loss of self-respect, is making the opinions of others more
important than our own opinion of ourselves. Self-respect means just what
it says—it originates from the self. This self originated in a universal field
of intention that intended you here—from the infinite formless state to a
being of molecules and physical substance. If you fail to respect yourself,
you’re showing contempt for the process of Creation. You’ll find no shortage of opinions directed at you. If you allow them to
undermine your self-respect, you’re seeking the respect of others over your
own, and you’re abdicating yourself. Then you’re attempting to reconnect
to the field of intention with low-energy attitudes of judgment, hostility, and
anxiety. You’ll cycle into low-energy vibrations that will simply force you
to attract more and more of these lower energies into your life. Remember,
it’s high energy that nullifies and converts lower energy. Light eradicates
darkness; love dissolves hate. If you’ve allowed any of those lower negative
thoughts and opinions directed your way to become the basis of your self-
portrait, you’re asking the universal mind do the same. Why? Because at the
high frequencies, the universal Source of intention is pure creativeness,
love, kindness, beauty, and abundance. Self-respect attracts the higher
energy. Lack of self-respect attracts the lower. It knows no other way. The negative viewpoints of others represent their low-energy ego
working on you. Very simply, if you’re judging anyone, you aren’t loving
them at that moment. The judgments coming your way, likewise, are
unloving but have nothing to do with your self-respect. Their judgments
(and yours as well) distance you from your Source, and therefore away
from the power of intention. As my friend and colleague Gerald Jampolsky
observed, “When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can seethem as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only
have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.”
This is how you return to the self in self-respect. Rather than judging
those who judge you, thereby lowering your self-respect, you send them a
silent blessing of forgiveness and imagine them doing the same toward you. You’re connecting to intention and guaranteeing that you’ll always respect
the divinity that you are. You’ve cleared the path to be able to enjoy the
great power that is yours in the field of intention. Making Your Intention Your Reality
In this concluding section, you’ll find ten ways to practice nurturing your
intention to respect yourself at all times. Step 1: Look into a mirror, make eye connection with yourself, and
say “I love me” as many times as possible during your day. I love me:
These three magic words help you maintain your self-respect.<|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 fact, the higher your energy field
resonates, the more you’re able to impact others with your own healing
energy. (See Chapter 13 for a more thorough treatment of healing and
intention. ) Become aware of your own amazing capacity to affect the
healing and health of those around you simply by the silent presence of
your high-energy connection to intention. This is a literal energy that
emanates from you. In the hopes that you will recognize the importance of raising your
energy level, I’m going to conclude this chapter with a look at how our
entire civilization is impacted when energy levels are synchronized with the
Source of our Creation. This will require an open mind and a bit of
stretching on your part; however, it’s something that I know is true, and I’d
be remiss if I left it out. It may appear peculiar or even outlandish to some
who fail to see the ways in which all of us on this planet are connected and
therefore impact each other from distances not discernible by our senses. Your Impact on the Consciousness
of All of Humanity
Many years ago I was with one of my daughters as she completed a
lengthy program in the wilderness to help her deal more effectively with
some of her teenage dilemmas. The last thing the counselor at the
wilderness camp said to her was, “Remember at all times that what you
think and what you do affects other people. ” This is true even beyond the
impact we have on our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. I believe
that we impact all of humanity. Thus, as you read this section, keep in mind
that what you think and do affects all other people. In Power vs. Force, Dr. David Hawkins writes: “In this interconnected
universe, every improvement we make in our private world improves the
world at large for everyone. We all float on the collective level of
consciousness of mankind, so that any increment we add comes back to us. We all add to our common buoyancy by our efforts to benefit life. It is a
scientific fact that what is good for you is good for me. ” Dr. Hawkins has
backed up his remarks and conclusions with 29 years of hard research,
which I invite you to examine if you’re so inclined. I’ll briefly summarize
some of these conclusions and how they relate to the impact you have on
others when you’re connected to intention. In essence, every single person as well as large groups of people can be
calibrated for their energy levels. Generally speaking, low-energy people
cannot distinguish truth from falsehood. They can be told how to think,
whom to hate, whom to kill; and they can be herded into a group-think
mentality based on such trivial details as what side of the river they were
born on, what their parents and their grandparents believed, the shape of
their eyes, and hundreds of other factors having to do with appearance and
total identification with their material world. Hawkins tells us that
approximately 87 percent of humanity calibrates at a collective energy level
that weakens them. The higher up the ladder of frequency vibration, the
fewer people there are in those high levels. The highest levels are
represented by the truly great persons who originated spiritual patterns that
multitudes have followed throughout the ages. They’re associated with
divinity, and they set in motion attractor energy fields that influence all of
humankind. Just below the energy level of pure enlightenment are the energy levels
associated with the experience designated as transcendence, self-realization,
or God consciousness. Here’s where those who are called saintly reside. Just below this level is the place of pure joy, and the hallmark of this state is
compassion. Those who attain this level have more of a desire to use their
consciousness for the benefit of life itself rather than for particular
individuals. Below these supremely high levels, which few ever attain in a permanent
way, are the levels of unconditional love, kindness, acceptance of everyone,beauty appreciation, and on a more limited but nonetheless profound level,
all of the seven faces of intention described in the opening chapters of this
book. Below the levels of energy that strengthen us are the low energy
levels of anger, fear, grief, apathy, guilt, hatred, judgment, and shame—all
of which weaken and impact us in such a way as to inhibit our connection
to the universal energy level of intention. What I’d like you to do here is take a leap of faith with me, while I
present a few of the conclusions that Dr. Hawkins came to in his second
book, called The Eye of the I. Through his


wide range of other causes, but these remedies will focus on the above
categories-migraines, and tension-type headaches. In this stressful
world many people suffer from muscles that get tight, spasm, knot-up, or
contract. When this happens, it triggers what is known as a tension-type
headache. Since many people get them several times a week, NSAIDS
like aspirin are often turned to in order to cope with the pain. The
problem is, setting aside any other nasty side effects, NSAIDS cause
rebound headaches. This means if you take aspirin every day for long
enough, the next day if you fail to take it you will get a headache. Y ou
then take another aspirin and it becomes a vicious cycle. Migraines, on the other hand, are less straightforward. They are actually
a fairly shrouded problem, considering how common they are. What
has been theorized and/or concluded so far is that genetics play a
huge factor, and the sensation of pain itself is caused by vasodilation
of the blood vessels in the brain-vasodilation means they swell up. This pressure presses on nerves and results in symptoms such as
intense pain, an aura, sensitivity to light, nausea, and a number of
other unpleasant things. We can identify some migraine triggers, such
as certain food, stress, loud sounds/bright lights, or smells. A lack of
serotonin may also be linked to them, which is possibly the reason
people with depression get migraines more often than people who
don’t. Headaches
-Long hair can give you
headaches, especially if you
wear it in a ponytail. All that
hair added up actually weighs a
decent amount, and the constant
pressure from being tied back
just makes it worse. At the end
of a long day, especially if you
have to wear your hair up a lot for
work, yank out your hair binder
and chances are you’ll feel an
almost immediate sense of relief. I learned this last summer when
the lovely woman who cuts my
hair informed me of it. It seems
obvious, but it’s also easy to
overlook. -If you notice you get more
headaches, especially migraines,
during a certain time of the year
or during certain kinds of weather,
you may be reacting to changes
in barometric pressure (the weight
of the atmosphere.) This has been
speculated for some time, but the
International Headache Society
published an interesting piece
earlier this year to back it up. The
study gathered data showing
that when lightning struck within
25 miles of a migraine suffers
house, there was a 31% increase
in headache instances. That’s not
a small number! And that’s not
including changes before storms,
seasons, and other fluctuations. -Posture. It makes all the
difference in the world for tension
type headaches, especially if you
work at a computer. -Utilize massage therapy if
possible. It’s so often seen as a
luxury, but the truth is, it does
incredible things for our health,
and it’s drug-free. Roots Balm
-Using 2 tablespoons of beeswax
will yield a pretty solid balm, which
I find useful since I never need to
use too much of this for it to be
effective! Lower the amount to 1
tablespoon if you prefer a softer
balm. 90Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingAromatherapy is a powerful tool for headaches. Something about our sense of smell is linked closely to
headaches, and as mild as a treatment as it may sound, I have used it to great success for my own tension
headaches. When you combine aromatherapy with a cool compress, you get an extra soothing remedy. If you
want to treat muscle tension directly, swap it out for a warm compress on your neck/shoulders to relax them. Studies have actually shown that some scents (such as lavender) lengthen brainwaves, indicating relaxation. Dried rice or beans are the filler for your compress, and retain the cold or warmth. The lavender promotes
relaxation, which is vital when it comes to tension headaches. The peppermint works because the menthol it
contains creates a cooling sensation, while its aroma can penetrate the foggy pain of a headache.Cool Scented Compress
-1 cup or so of dried rice or
beans
-A tube sock or scrap fabric
-1 tablespoon of any liquid oil
-3-4 drops of lavender oil
-2 drops of peppermint oil1. Pour a cup or so of dried rice or dried beans into a clean tube sock
so that there is about an inch left at the top. Loosely tie off the top-just
enough that it doesn’t lose any of the filling. 2. Place it in the freezer until cold and then re-open, adding in the
essential oil blend. Tie it off well, shake, and hold against your forehead
and temples, alternating with the top/back of your head if needed. When you’re finished pop it back into the freezer and reuse as needed. 3. If you are using a warm compress repeat the process above, but
instead of putting it in the freezer pop it in the microwave for a few
minutes, or until it is as hot as you want it. Make sure to check every 30
seconds so it doesn’t overheat. Mix the oils in after microwaving, and lay
it across the back of your neck or shoulders. 91Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com HeadachesY ou will need… DirectionsFeverfew has a rich history, and has been used since the times of ancient Greece. Originally it was its main use
was to bring down fever, as its name suggests, but it was not found particularly effective. Nowadays, promising research shows that it can help reduce the severity and frequency at which a migraine
occurs. Sometimes during a migraine the smooth lining of blood vessels will spasm as they dilate unevenly. This, plus the inflammation pressing on nerves, can cause that typical pounding or throbbing sensation as blood
is pumped through the awkwardly narrowed vessels. Feverfew contains parthenolide, which is what has been
tentatively linked to warding off migraines, possibly because it can impact inflammation. Past that, the specific
science of it has not yet been pinpointed. Feverfew for Migraines
-3 teaspoons of dried feverfew
(leaves and flowers both work)
-1 cup of water
-A dash of lemon juice to taste
(optional)1. Boil fresh water and pour it over the dried feverfew. Allow the mixture
to steep, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Drink daily to prevent migraines
and lessen their severity. Y ou can also chew several of the fresh plant’s
leaves or flowers a day, or take it in supplement form if you like. I
personally prefer the routine of tea. 92Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com HeadachesY ou will need… DirectionsRoots Balm is a great savior when it comes to headaches, and there has been so much positive feedback on
it! This lovely balm utilizes essential oils that help alleviate pain topically and by utilizing pure aromatherapy. The peppermint oil contains menthol, which provides a soothing, cooling, almost tingling, sensation on the skin
that works in tandem with its refreshing scent to help your headache. The eucalyptus works in a similar manner
with its scent, while studies have shown it actually affects brainwave activity and reduces fatigue. When applied
topically over tense muscles, its helps unwind knots and trigger points. Lavender, known for being a relaxing
scent, is here to help you naturally relax your muscles on your own.Soothing Roots Balm
-15-20 drops of peppermint oil
-7-10 drops of lavender oil
-7-10 drops of eucalyptus oil
-1/4 cup of any liquid oil
-1-2 tablespoons of beeswax
pastilles/grated beeswax1. In a double boiler melt together the beeswax and oils. When they
have melted and combined, turn off the heat and quickly add essential
oils, giving it a brief stir to mix it all together. Pour into container, cover,
and allow it to solidify. 2. When you feel a headache coming on, massage some onto your
temples, back of neck, or the pressure point between your thumb and
forefinger. Breathe deeply. 93Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com HeadachesY ou will need… DirectionsTrue to its name, heartburn is a burning sensation right beneath the
breastbone, often accompanied by pain that creeps up the throat,
possibly leading to a bad taste in your mouth. It’s a symptom, rather
than a disease, of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD), so these remedies will target acid reflux as a whole. When you swallow, a tight band of muscle around the bottom of your
esophagus called your lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxes and
allows the food/liquid to pass into the stomach before sealing tightly
shut again. But with reflux that muscle relaxes abnormally, or is weak,
and stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. This, naturally,
creates a very unpleasant sensation.Heartburn

ed direct currem
Resistivity studies with direct current are of consider·
able interest, as this type of current represents electric
transports in vivo. Attempts were therefore made to
study resistivity of blood vessels with a technique
developed by Burger and van Milaan (8). In this way,
information on the resistance of walls of large vessels
in comparison to resistance of the intravascular con·
ducting medium, the plasma, should be possible to
obtain. As in determinations of resistivity with alternating
current, many sources of error can interfere in deter·
minations of resistivity with direct current. It is evi·
dent that an application of DC pulses will ionize the
test material and change its relative conductivity dur·
ing each pulse. The applied potential will furthermore
produce ionic separations, providing electromotive
forces in the opposite direction. This effect means that
the test current builds up a galvanic potential. When potential difference is constant within cer·
tain limits, the degree of i(mization is a dynamic event
which initially increases exponentially the actual flow
of current per unit time. This observation is well
known since julius Tafel (72). On prolonged applica·
tion of direct current, different counteracting reactions
will contribute to decelerate the current. Moreover,
the same technical difficulties are encountered in both
DC and AC determinatio ns of resistivity of a vessel
128 Biologically closed electric circuits wall, i. e., geometric measurements of specimens and
avoidance of injury to tissue. These experiments were performed in five dogs,
using the same rype of preparation of femoral vessels
and electrodes in glass tubes as was employed in the
determinatio ns of resistivity with alternating currents. A series of 10 DC pulses (0. 5-1. 0 sec duration each)
was applied over 25, 50, 100 and ISO mV through the
vessel wall in one direction and then in the opposite
direction. Polarizati on caused a dis·tortion of the measured
deflections of potential. It is therefore necessary to
define how the measuremen ts were obtained and the
results analyzed.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the formula used to calculate the resistance of the vessel wall?,
A: R.A n = --, where R = Z - R, and I is the thickness of the vessel wall, A the internal cross-sectional area of the glass tube, and R, the resistance of the column of saline solution between the measuring electrodes.
Q: What is the purpose of the experiment involving the application of 10-20 volts between the electrodes?,
A: The experiment aims to study the resistivity of the femoral arteries and veins in dogs and to examine the possibility of electric current flowing selectively through the vessel walls.
Q: What is the significance of the results of the resistivity measurements?,
A: The results indicate that the resistivity of the femoral arteries and veins is higher than that of the saline solution, and the findings suggest that the vessel walls may serve as electrically insulated cables.
Q: What is the purpose of the experiment involving the application of direct current between the electrodes in the aorta and mesentery?,
A: The experiment aims to study the effects of direct current on the vessel walls and to investigate the possibility of selective transport of material through the capillary walls.
Q: What is the proposed mechanism for the accumulation of granulocytes in the capillary walls?,
A: The proposed mechanism is that the granulocytes are attracted to the anode and repelled by the cathode due to the electric field, which is consistent with the observed results.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>One of the most important nonionic
compounds, water, can be transported in a closed
electric circut in a matrix lined with fixed charges. The
mechanism of transport we can particularly refer to is
evidently in the first hand represented by Type I
(anomalous ) electroosmos is (Chapter IX). Dielectrics
other than water may evidently also move in an electric
field. This possibility will be demonstrated experimen
tally in Chapter XIII. It is now suggested that the presence of vesicles in
the endothelial cells indicates a mechanism of inter
electrodic transfer of energy which is in addition to
the mechanism of ionic transfer already proposed in

Biologically closed electric circuits 145 ducts and vesicles as morphologically visible "inter

alent redox sites at the endothelial cell membranes are
anticipated to be reversible and therefore capable of
allowing bidirectional ionic and vesicular (nonionic)
transports across the endothelial cell. This mechanism
aloo offers an alternative to the previously suggested
Brownian type of vesicular motion. A panieular pat
tern of distribution of vesicles adjacent to the inner
walls of a cell (M, Fig. XII: 29b) can be regarded as
representative of one phase of a unidirectional flow of
current. One of the inner "electrode surfaces" should
be anodic and the other cathodic. At a later stage when
polarity and flow of current are reversed, a mixture
will develop of vesicles. We have here assumed, for the
sake of simplicity, that the vesicles arc transported as
water in a closed electric circuit from anode to cath
ode. A possibility might therefore be that vesi
cles in pinocytosis are represented by matrix support
ed transport of nticro-dustcrs of water molecules. Structural elements in the cytoplasm, such as fila
ments, makes it at least justified to suggest that matrix
elements exist to support the electrogenic transport of
nonionic material. In this way a principle explaining
vesicular transports now appears possible. Redox sines
must be located on each side of endothelial mem
branes, according to this theory for development of
basement membrane, endothelial fibrin film and "e
sjrular transport. These sites must each represent one
*'exterior" and one "interior" reversible electrode
equivalent surface (four redox sites). Such an arrange
ment should allow bidirectional transport s of cations
and anions as well as bidirectional transport of vesi
cles. The direction of transport of a dielectric pack of
energy (ergonar, see Chapter XIII) will be determined
by the polarity of the surplus of fixed electric charges
of the assumed matrix in the endothelial cytoplasm
and the direction of the transcellular electric gradient. The principle of the development and unidirectional
transport of a vesicle is presented in Fig. XII: 31 b. Several of the participating functions are still un
known. The redox sites are assumed to consist of
mediators such as enzyme molecules with the capacity
to transfer electrons. Such models of electron conduct
ing enzymes have also been described in the endotheli
al cytoplasm. The matrix properties of the cytoplasm
are, however, still unknown in terrns of electrogenic
transcellular transports. Related problems associated

thing  today;  and  if you  care  to believe  Me,  you  will  see in 232 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
contemplation,  how  True  It is. Do you  think  it is just your
physical  efforts  which  accomplish  things  in the  outer
world ? Beloved  Ones,  it is the Light,  the Energy  of your
Presence,  which  goes  forth  before  you  and  accomplishes
what  you  desire. When  you  realize  Harmony  is the IM-
PERATIVE  thing  in your  feeling,  so this energy  may  flow
forth  and  go out in Its Full  Power,  Its Purity,  Its Perfection;
then  you  will  have  no difficulty  in making  yourself  success-
ful in your  outer  efforts,  in the outer  world. Until  mankind
understands  that,  the people  will  go on in their  distress  and
limitations. As students  today,  there  is no longer  the slightest  excuse
for you  not having  what  you  need  for your  happiness  and
comfort. You  should  be able  to govern  the vibratory  action
about  you,  and  call  forth  the Power  of your  Presence,  to
draw  about  you  the effects  or things  your  Heart  craves. You might  say:  "How  about  our  families  who  do not
agree  with  us"? That  is a very  important  point. The  True
Understanding  of This  Presence  is the Greatest  Harmoniz-
ing Perfecting  Activity  in the Entire  Universe. Now  why
have  so many  seeming  disagreements  occurred  in families ? Because  the human  tried  to be the Doer. Precious  Ones,
now  think  it over! I urge  you  never  to argue  the question  of
This  Understanding  with  anyone—your  family  or anyone
else! Leave  all Free  to come  to This  Understanding  and
into It, whenever  they  are ready. If you  pull  them  in by urg-
ing, they  are very  apt to begin  to try to pick  flaws. If peo-
ple come  in of their  own  volition,  they  come  because  the DISCOURSE  XVIII  233
Light  within  them  has  drawn  them;  and  it will  be the
rarest  thing  for them  to ever  turn  aside  for any  length  of
time. As the Messengers  have  told  you,  This  Light,  This  Un-
derstanding  which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  to
you,  is clear! It is All-powerful! It is Mighty  to set mankind
Free;  and  I say to you  as One  of Authority:  you  will  not
have  any  Knowledge,  any  Application,  any  Information,
any Instruction  come  forth,  which  will  even  touch  It, in
the next  two  or three  hundred  years. You  will  remember,
when  This  Understanding  was  to come  forth,  even  before
the Messengers  knew  It, We  decided  with  Those  from
Venus  in the  Royal  Teton;  This  "I AM"  Activity  must
come  forth  in simple  language  which  the layman  and  the
child  could  understand. All technical  terminology,  all for-
eign  expression  must  be left out;  because  America  was  the
"Cup  of Light"  of the future;  and  the only  spot  on the face
of This  Earth,  where  there  was  a possibility  of bringing
about  the Right  Condition  for the Incoming  Golden  Age. Would  you  like  Me  to tell you  in figures,  how  many
more  will  join  you  in the next  six months ? I do not mean
just here,  but  all over  the United  States  and  in different
parts  of the World—and  I mean  by that  those  who  will
come  into  the Application  of the Work ? You  have  a little
more  than  three  hundred  seventy-four  thousand  members
I believe  now. I have  not checked  it up Myself,  but Beloved
Saint  Germain  has the record,  and  when  the Messengers  re-
turn  to the Shrine  Class  in July,  there  will  be more  than  two 234 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
hundred  thousand  added  to that  number. I shall  not  say
how  many  more. This  should  be of sufficient  encourage-
ment  for you  all to know,  unless  this  were  the  Eternal
Truth  of Life,  It could  not expand  and  draw  to Itself  Its
own. You have  seen  all of the various  angles  of Truth  already. Those  who  have  been  drawn  to this  "I AM"  Activity  far
exceed  anything  else. This  has  brought  True  Understand-
ing! In This  Ascended  Master  Understanding,  you  have
the culmination  of all. There  is not one  thing  left  unsaid,
or unexplained  by which  you  may  gain  your  Victory. Therefore,  those  who  will  stand  by and  apply  It, will  have
their  Eternal  Freedom. I say to you,  as One  who  has Authority  to set aside  time
and space:  to dissolve  and  consume  the human  accumula-
tion,  the creation  of Individuals;  and  to remove  the dis-
carnates  from  the Earth;  there  is not one  of you,  who  can-
not have  your  Freedom  in every  way  quickly,  by two  simple
things. Since  you  have  come  to know  the  "Beloved  Mighty  I
AM Presence,"  take  a firm  unyielding  stand  to hold  Har-
mony  in your  feeling  and  make  your  Earnest  Application. There  is not  one  of you,  who  could  not  be Free  in six
months. I trust  those,  for whom  their  own  human  creations
have  been  dissolved  and  consumed,  will  feel  and  take  ad-
vantage  of the  Opportunity  with  greater  power  in their
Application;  greater  intensify,  greater  earnestness  and
greater  Determination. Beloved  Ones,  when  you  have  lived DISCOURSE  XVIII  235
for centuries  in human  creations  and  accumulation  which
has been  gathered  up to this  time—you  of course  do not
realize  it; but  the feeling,  the power  and  the energy  re-
leased  thru  discord,  has  made  this  condition  of today. In
order  to reverse,  dissolve  and  consume  it, you  must  know
you are undoing  in a few weeks  or a few  months,  what  you
have  been  centuries,  hundreds  of centuries  accumulating! If you  really  understand  and  know  your  Privilege  today,  is
the Greatest  Privilege  of all your  pilgrimages  upon  Earth;
you will  realize  the Great  Mercy  of the Great  Law  of Life,
which  provided  a Means  of doing  it. You will  remember  the  Great  Astrea,  Myself,  Beloved
Saint  Germain,  Jesus  and  Various  Ones  who  are Certain
Authority  for Certain  Activities. Do you  suppose  We  just
of Our  Own  Desire  became  This ? Oh No! The  Great  Law
of Life,  which  is governed  by Those  Great  Beings  whom
Beloved  Saint  Germain  has presented  to you,  as the Central
Focus  of Power  for This  System  of Worlds,  made  Us the
Authority  for These  Special  Activities. Then  you  know  that
We act wholly  thru  the Authority  of Life. Your  Higher  Mental  Body  knows  your  Requirement,
why  you  are  in this  particular  embodiment;  and  what
brought  you  here. We may  not interfere  with  that,  unless

 of HRVB for a variety of
common disorders,16 as well as for enhancing athletic performance. While
controlled studies are still needed for many specific conditions, scientists
believe that training to optimiz e the rhythms of the breath and heart has
potential applications for illnesses as varied as asthma, irritable bowelsyndrome, COPD, cyclic vomiti ng, recurrent abdominal pain, fibromyalgia,
cardiac rehabilitation, hypertension, chronic muscle pain, pregnancy-
induced hyperte nsion, depress ion, anxiety, PTSD, and insomnia. The
improved gas exchange achievable with HRVB training may help people
with respiratory diseases and stress-induced hyperventilation.16 HRVB has
been proven to restore the balance of the nervous system to combat
inflammation.30 It may also have advantages as a diagnostic tool for
cardiovascular system dysfunction and its resulting illnesses.31
While most research in the field focuses on helping people who are sick,
HRVB can also be used to reduc e stress in otherwise healthy individuals. A
study of young athletes who were taking their university exams found that
the breath training resulted in long-term improved resistance to stressful
situations (i.e., better vagal tone).32 Another small study of women
suffering from fibromyalgia concluded that actively participating in HRVB
treatment restored a level of control to the patient, improving self-esteem
and feelings of empowerment.33
RSA, THE BAROREFLEX, AND BLOOD PRESSURE
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is also significantly connected to blood
pressure. Remember, RSA describes changes in the heart rate during the
respiratory cycle. Its functionin g is highly dependent on the flexibility of
the vagus nerve, or the heart’ s vagal tone, as measured using HR V.
One of the most important mechanisms of RSA is the baroreflex, a
homeostatic function that helps maintain blood pressure at healthy, near-
constant levels. The baroreflex is a reflex mediated by blood pressure
sensors in the aorta (the largest artery in the body) and carotid arteries (the
ones that supply  blood to the brain, neck, and face).34 Even during rest,
blood pressure constantly fluctu ates as breathing causes the pressure in the
chest cavity to change. Scientist s consider the strengthening of homeostasis
in the baroreceptors to be the most obvious mechanism at play during
HRVB training.16
All major blood vessels contain pressure receptors. These detect the
stretching of the arteries as blood pressure increases. When blood pressure
rises, the barore flex immediatel y causes the blood vessels to dilate and theheart rate to drop. Conversely, when blood pressure falls, the baroreflex
ensures that the blood vessels constrict and heart rate increas es.16 Under
stress, the baroreflex reduces sympathetic outflow and increases vagal tone
to protect the heart against unhealthy arrhythmias.34
The baroreflex is optimized when the relationship between breathing
and heart rate is at its most efficient with regard to blood gas exchange. This means that breathing is a natural way to provide the external
stimulation to increase HRV. At the same time, each breath stimulates the
baroreflex. Hear t rate and blood  pressure are linked to the amount of air we
breathe and to the exchange of oxygen between the lungs and the blood. During HRV biofeedback, the baroreflex works more effectively. This is
associated with better mental and physical health, because as with higher
oscillations in RSA and HR V, the body is more adaptable. The sensitivity of the baroreceptors is also a good indicator of the
body’ s response to a buildup of CO2.35 The respiratory system reacts to
CO2 buildup  with involuntary contractions of the breathing muscles after an
exhalation, triggering an inhalat ion. The stronger the reaction to blood CO2,
the harder it is to hold your breath after exhaling and the sooner you need to
breathe in. The baroreceptors are most functional when the body is less
sensitive to CO2. Imagine being able to wait much longer before needing to
breathe in. A high BOL T score, indicating comfort with slower breathing,
signifies a reduced sensitivity to CO2 in the blood. A healthy baroreflex
with less sensitivity to CO2 results in more frequent reflex es, slower heart
rate, and increased vagal tone. The cardiovascular and respira tory systems are tightly interconnected
by the ANS which controls major functions of the body without conscious
direction.8,36 Blood pressure receptors are triggered by the workings of
RSA, which can be measured through HRV, providing strong indicators of
mental and physical health. The fight-or -flight reaction (SNS) causes blood
vessels to constrict, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, while ACh,
the neurotransmitter released by the PNS-controlled vagus nerve, slows
heart rate, dilates blood vessels, and suppresses the inflammatory response. The baroreflex system is more than just a control mechanism involving
heart rate and blood pressure. The activity of the baroreflex affects vascular
tone—the sensitivity with which blood vessels expand and contract.31 HRValso changes when there is inflammation. There is a clear relationship
between various pro-inflammatory cytokines and lower HRV. The impact of
the immune system on HRV, and the implications of that for health and
disease, is probably underestimated.8
The common denominator in all these systems is the breath, especially
slow breathing. Reducing the number of breaths per minute improves vagal
tone, reduces stress, and suppo rts health and cognition. The practices of
slow breathing and relaxation benefit the heart and respiratory system in
many ways. The baroreceptors become more responsive to changes in blood
pressure, the heart rate becomes more lively and elastic, the vagus nerve
more reactive, and the ANS shifts away from fight and flight toward less
stress—which supports social interaction and enables the body to thrive. BETTER BRAIN FUNCTION: SLOW V AGAL
BREA THING
It may seem obvious that it is easier to think when we are less stressed, and
that when we concentrate on a breathing exercise, there is less room for the
brain to worry. However, there is also evidence that slow breathing
exercises have a direct impact on the way the brain works. In one Belgian study, scientists discovered that vagus nerve stimulation
(VNS) in rats clearly produced a memory-enhancing effect.37 The rats
performed a gambling task in which they could learn to use reasoning to
maximize their food reward. Those that were treated with VNS developed
better decision-making. Further trials, from another Belgian lab, found that
vagal breathing could be used as a possible intervention agains t stress and
its negative effects on decision-making in humans.38 Other experiments
have shown a connection between the vagus nerve and enhanced working
memory.39 Patients given inhalant anesthetics experience an increase in
vagal tone as they regain consciousness9. Diaphragmatic  breathing can
directly lower cortisol levels,28 reducing the negative physiological
responses to stress and improving cognitive function. Research into the connection between the breath and the brain in nasal
breathing found that the breath directly affects neural activity in the brain.40
Breath actively promotes oscillatory synchronicity, which produces theconditions for optimal gas exchange and information processing in areas of
the brain that mediate goal-directed behaviors. Nasal breathing offers an
entry point to areas of the limbic brain that modulate cognitive function,
which has interesting implica tions for mental agility given that the
structures in the limbic syste m are involved in motivation, emotion,
learning, and memory.41 For example, experiments demonstrated that
breathing influenced a participant’ s ability to identify fearful emotions in
other people and their memory of visual objects. Passive inhalation of air
through the nose enhanced reaction time to scary stimuli. While there is a need for more research into the applications of VNS,
slow breathing, and activation of the PNS on cognition, these correlations
have been studied to some  extent in other fields. For example,
investigations into the impact of yogic breathing exercises have produced
interesting insig hts into the connection between breath and brain. A study
looking at Nadi Shodhana, yogic alternate nostril breathing, used EEG
measurements (from scalp electrodes) to assess the balance between the two
halves of the brain. It found that the practice generated more beta and alpha
brain waves.42 Beta waves are characteristic of a strongly engaged mind. A
person who is in active conver sation or focused on their work is in beta. Alpha represents nonarousal. It is associated with down time and relaxation. This suggests that the breathing practice allows participants to become
more mentally active while remaining calm and clear headed. Another
study looked at the way a combined practice of breathing and meditation
improved memory and influenced academic performance.43
We will look in more detail at the correlation between these
contemplative practices and the science of slow breathing, but it’s worth
noting that even meditation that doesn’ t focus on the breath can have the
effect of reducing the respira tory rate. Scientists have concluded that
regular yogic practices might improve cognitive functions, largely because
they tilt the autonomic balance in favor of the PNS. Further experiments
reported that EEG readings showed increased beta brainwave s under all
conditions in advanced meditators, that long-term meditati on practice
improves gray matter atrophy, that attention and working memory improve,
and that these techniques improve brain


 that CO2 therapy was beneficial in treating foot ulcers in
diabetic patients  by increasing blood flow to the affected area.30 In that
experiment, synthetic CO2 was dissolved in water and applied directly to
the feet to improve tissue oxygenation, just as the Romans and ancient
Greeks used to do, bathing in waters rich in carbonic acid to cure a variety
of illnesses. NICK’S ST ORY
Nick Heath is an Oxygen Advantage instructor. He is also a type 1 diabetic. Nick was just 11 years old when he was diagnosed. For 14 years, he
received “standard care” for his condition, but the results were mediocre atbest. At the age of 25, he bega n to eat better and exercise regularly. His
blood sugar improved, and at the time, he thought it probable that he had
achieved the best control he was ever likely to have over his diabetes. Despite this improvement, over the next few years, he still felt that
something was amiss. Nick was doing everything he could from a
nutritional and exercise perspe ctive, but he was still unable to maintain
consistent ener gy levels, and he often felt drained. When he was 30 years old, Nick found the Oxygen Advantage. After his
first night using a lip tape to ensure nasal breathing during sleep, he woke
up noticeably refreshed and full of vitality. He emailed his wife at work to
say that either he was crazy or taping was the best thing ever.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

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


represents a rational assessment that means little to the subconscious mind. Only a miraculous healing, nothing short of the hand of God, is powerful
enough to override your primal impulse to protect yourself. That impulse is
created by millions of years of evolution; at its core, it represents notdysfunction but the genius of the biological system. The point is that in you,
the system was short-circuited and needs to be reset. Y ou are protecting
yourself against things that would not hurt you, and failing to protect
yourself against things that could. This lesson focuses on your relationship to other people, as your
compulsion is housed in a frozen place you could call your “alone zone. ”
Reaching across whatever wall still divides you from others is essential to
your healing, as it helps reverse a dysfunctional pattern by establishing a
new one. A lar ge gun in your fear -mind’ s arsenal, something that keeps you
trapped in the pattern of overeating, is your tendency to isolate. For in
isolation you feel permission to self-destruct. There is no one there to say,
“Don’ t do it”; you are free to indulge the deepest craving with no scolding
even from yourself, drowned out as a scolding would be by the shrieking
and false delights of your compulsion. Once you are alone with the
compulsion, you have no power to resist it. And that is why being alone
with it is dangerous. Y ou will begin to see that being alone with your
compulsion is as dangerous as being alone with a madman, which in a way
it is. The compulsion within you is madness, and the only antidote to its
power is the achievement of your deepest sanity. Your problem with weight is calling you to the highest expression of your
true self, and your true self is deeply in love with humanity. Each of us
carries the tendency to separate ourselves from others. There is such a thing
as splendid solitude, but isolation is not it. Isolating is a defense against
relationship; and for the overeater, it’s the way to avoid dealing with others
so that you can have your secret, dark, and sordid relationship with food all
by yourself. Food will not pressure you. Food will accept you. Food will
understand you. Food will make you feel better. Heroin reads from the same
handbook, by the way. Secret eating holds a goody bag of insanities, from grazing for anything
you can find—hot fudge on this cracker might be good. —to standing in
front of the fridge and stuf fing yourself in the middle of the night. The dark
castle of secret eating needs a lock on it, followed by complete demolition. Author Katherine W oodward Thomas once told me a liberating story
about exiting the alone zone. She suf fered from food addiction for yearswhen she was young, and at one point found that her toughest problem was
night eating. No matter how much willpower Katherine was able to exert during the
day, there was something about the nighttime hours that made her unable to
rise above her craving. So she had an idea: she started telling people from
her Overeaters Anonymous group that there was a new nighttime-eating
hotline, and she gave out its number. Of course the number was hers. Katherine then spent night after night helping other people  endure the
difficulty of remaining abstinent at night, and in time interrupted the pattern
of her own nighttime food hell. What occurs in such a situation is not an insignificant thing. Reaching out
to other people carries divine power, whether recognized as such or not. Divine power isn’ t metaphorical but literal, actually releasing calming
chemicals in your brain. Study after study proves this. And Spirit does more
than calm you; it heals you. It reverses entrenched patterns. It is nothing
short of miraculous. In my own life, I had an experience several years ago that, while not
related to food, still demonstrates the power of exiting the isolation of your
own suf fering. I had once flown on an airplane that lost an engine over the Pacific
Ocean, and from that experience I developed a fear of takeof fs. It made no
rational sense given that the engine on the plane hadn’ t quit upon takeof f,
but my fear was what it was. Once a plane made its way above the clouds, I
was fine. But until then, I was terrified. I prayed for help, and then one day as I waited for takeof f, I found myself
sitting next to a little boy who looked to be about seven or eight years old. He was sitting in his seat very straight and still, and I noticed that he
seemed to be fighting back tears. I looked at him and asked gently, “Are you alone, honey. ” He nodded,
looking straight ahead, his bottom lip trembling. “Are you scared. ” I asked. Again, he nodded. “Would you like me to hold your hand. ” I whispered into his ear. Again,
he nodded. At that point I went into full Mommy mode, gently talking to him as
though I were reading him a nighttime story. Slowly, my voice lilting, I
began to explain to him the process of takeof fs. “The pilot is turning on theengines now … that was the noise we just heard. … Now he’ s increasing
the speed while we move down the runway … and at the right moment,
when the pilot knows it is absolutely safe, the flaps on the wings will move
—see them moving out there. —and that will create a lift and take the
airplane into the sky. … The pilot is a really nice man, and he is totally in
charge and knows exactly what to do to get us to fly and keep us all safe. See. W e’re above the clouds now. Isn’ t that beautiful. ”
Phew. He seemed relieved—and he wasn’ t the only one. One might have thought I was an angel sent to comfort that little boy, but
clearly he was an angel sent to comfort me. My fear of takeof fs ended that
day. My pattern of anxiety was completely interrupted. In the midst of my
fear, I had reached out in love; then my fear was gone. In both Katherine’ s case and mine, the miracle had manifested as a result
of connecting compassionately with another person, extending if even for a
moment beyond our own painful dramas to be of service to someone else. Reaching out to other people is an integral part of your healing process,
just as isolating is part of your disease. Isolating is a habit you formed long
ago, and it has become a breeding ground for your compulsion. The fear -
based mind needs only one moment to lure you into its lair, the secret place
where no one else can enter. And at that point, you and food are of f to the
races. The purpose of this lesson is to begin dismantling this pattern of
isolation, reaching across the wall that separates you from others, and
establishing a pattern of connection in the places where your heart has gone
numb. This repatterning is your path to freedom. You might be thinking that you have wonderful relationships with other
people, and perhaps you do. Isolating, however, is a break in what might
otherwise be a marvelous constellation of human relationships. Y ou must
develop the habit, at the moment when you isolate, to reach out for
someone else. Connecting to another, you can stare down the doorman at
the entrance to your alone zone. The connection that saves you in such a moment could be an of fer to help
someone else, or simply an expression of your own vulnerability. It might
be, “I know you’re working two shifts on Saturday; would you like me to
babysit your son. ” Or it might be, “I’m having a hard time today. I just
want to talk. ”You may already be an extremely helpful person. Others would most
probably look at you and call you anything but unloving. Disconnection is
not just disconnection from the needs of others, but from your own needs as
well. It is not overt unkindness, but merely disengagement. And in any
moment of disconnection from love, you are prey to the pernicious delusion
that you are hungry when in fact you are not. Given that it takes only one moment to undo the value of months of right
eating—starting you on a downward slide toward bingeing that can
completely wreak havoc on both your psyche and your body—it is
imperative that you see connecting more deeply with others as an ongoing
necessity. Healing is a mind-set; it is a spiritual process whereby you leave
behind an old way of being and fundamentally embrace a new relationship
to life. In order to exit the alone zone, you must enter the connection zone. You must make your love, and also your needs, known to others. Now make a list in your journal pages of various things you could do to
increase your connection to other people. Sometimes it’ s an activity, while
other times it’ s simply a shift in attitude that lets others get closer to you. Two things occurred in my own life that helped me make such shifts. One
was something that happened when I met a spiritual teacher from India
several years ago. She had known me for maybe 15 minutes when she said
simply, “Rigid and distant isn’ t working. ”
Her comment riveted me. This woman, who had never even met me


earful again, and you will accomplish such things as you never thought
possible. ”
Terry listened to her adviser well. In the days that followed, she gazed out
upon the sea and sky, and the truth came to her. When she left the retreat
and returned to her home, her illness was gone, and she experienced a vigor
in mind and body that she had never known. She undertook her work with
serenity, became able to talk freely in front of people, mixed with them
gladly, eventually came to lead them. T oday she heads her own research
company. She is well-to-do and respected and has not had a sick day in
years. She credits everything to her religious awakening. “I always thought that I was the one who was carrying the ball,” she says,
“and the responsibility frightened me. Once I learned that the world and its
events and my life were in safer hands than mine, I was able to get myself
out of the way and see the working of a master intelligence everywhere. The things I seem to have accomplished have been accomplished by
something outside me. It works through me just as it will work through you. All I do is let it. ”

The Perfect Leader

To free the mind of the restrictions imposed by egoistic thinking is the first
thing to be done. This is accomplished by turning your life over to the
Secret Self. Place your hopes, your dreams, your ambitions, your talents,
your very self, on a mental silver platter. Hand it over to the Secret Self. Say, “Here, you take it. Y ou run it. I will listen, follow your advice, execute
your will. ” If you take this mental stand without reservation, your life willbe changed forthwith, and you will have embarked upon the highest
adventure possible. Moreover, from that time on, the images in your mind
will manifest in the world exactly as you visualize them. People who have never experienced a centering of the self outside the ego
believe that when they make the declaration that they no longer will take
action as a result of egoistic choice, then henceforth they will sit like lumps
on a log because there will be nothing to stir them once they have
surrendered volition. How wrong they are. W e never move ourselves into
action anyway. All our lives we are moved into action by the Secret Self. Our dif ficulties are all caused by the fact that we have a delusional sense of
self which clutters up the subconscious with negative emotions; causes
restrictive pictures of limitation, lack, and fear to be projected onto the
creative screen of mind; and therefore restricts the amount of ener gy that
can flow through us. The ego is an impediment in the natural dynamic of
being, yet even when it’ s present in all its full distortion, we are still
directed by the Secret Self, with our power filtered and inef fectual. The
person who has been cleared sits like no lump on a log. More likely, they
thunder across the human scene, such is the power that manifests through
them. Y et they themself do nothing. The power uses them to manifest
through, and they simply hitch a ride, acting in the midst of conflict
serenely and surely, an instrument of a power that has everything under
control. The Power of Thought

Once a psychological balance has been obtained, it is startling how clear
images become in our minds. It is as if the inner world takes on even more
reality than the outer — more dimension, more possibilities — for through
our new psychic perception we become aware that there is the same
consciousness in all things. When we visualize something in our mind we
thereby sense the manner in which we af fect the physical world; we see that
consciousness af fected in us af fects consciousness in the thing visualized. We become aware that it is impossible for anything to externalize in our
world without first being pictured in our minds. The simplest of actions
takes on a new significance. W e cannot reach for a pen, get up and walk to
the door, or answer the telephone without first having a mental picture of
such acts. W e become cognizant of this sequence as the natural cause and
effect of all things, and we become exquisitely aware of the fact that we can
by an act of mental visualization cease responding to stimuli from the
sensual world. If, when we hear the doorbell, we visualize not answering the door, we will
not answer it. In even this trivial circumstance we will find tremendous
significance, for it teaches us that we can, in any instance, refuse to draw
the mental picture decreed by sensual stimuli and draw the exact opposite. By that simple realization we become enlightened and disciplined beings,
free from bondage to the world of senses. The process by which thoughts
become things is rooted in the one intelligence from which all things are
made. Everything is conscious and has a form that is determined by the
awareness entrapped within. When the idea of a thing is changed within the
one supreme consciousness, then the thing itself changes, for it was nothing
but idea in the first place. The mind’ s image-making power is af fected by its knowledge of itself, and
by its inner sense of ef fectiveness. This sense of capability never is
sufficient when it springs out of the surface self, but it is always equal to the
task when it results from an identification of the individual with the
Supreme. Spiritual awakening allows us to visualize clearly, but even
before that awakening we can discipline ourselves to exercise faith and
belief in the things we desire. Jesus, who was certainly one of the great
mental teachers, stated that it is done unto us as we believe. He repeatedly
illustrated by deed and parable that the answers to our dreams come when
we first have accepted their reality in our minds. The person who achieves a
dynamic success in life has mastered the art of acting as if it were
impossible to fail. Such a bold approach frees within them an ener gy and
insight that fits them for every occasion. Nothing is impossible to anyone if
they are capable of envisioning it in their mind, clearly, without reservation. Universal Subconscious Mind is the doer of all things, and it responds to
the conceptions that we project into it with our conscious minds. Visualizing the Objective

There is no objective too important or too trivial for universal mind to
manifest it just exactly as it is visualized, but the truth is that few people
take the trouble or time to visualize the things they want. They let such
matters be decided for them by the events they encounter in the world. If,
for example, they meet a friend who has acquired a new car, they are likely
to avow to themselves and to family that what they want most of all is a
new car. Next day, however, this desire fades, for now an associate in
business has been promoted into a new job and they see that it is this they
want most of all, not the new car after all. Next day, it is something else; the
day after, something again. The desire of a week ago is long for gotten
unless some event occurs to inspire in them the same reaction. Such people
project a constant parade of changing pictures into the subconscious, which
moves this way and that and never gets anything done at all. Since they
really do not know what it is that they want, it is small wonder that they
achieve nothing. It takes mental discipline to want something and to stay
with it, to understand that all things are gained by sacrifice, that nothing is
free, easy, or simple. When we look upon people of prominence and wealth, it appears to us that
they have been favored by nature, gifted more in mind and body and with
material things. But if we have had a little spiritual awakening, we arrive at
an insight that allows us to see behind all successful people the years of
unremitting toil, sweat, and tears that have disciplined them into the
effective human beings they have become. Control and ef fectiveness do not
come lightly; they are the products of a good deal of surrender of self. An
aspiring youth, focused in ego and personal concern, has as little connection
with a successful person as does an acorn with an oak. A thousand egoistic
selves have paraded across the successful person’ s consciousness in the
years of growth. In a manner that person is all of them, in another, none. In
all things they rely upon a power outside themself, which they court daily. Affirmation

Visualize we must, and what we visualize manifests in our lives. If we
would change our lives, the tool with which to change them is imagination. We must learn to visualize at the behest of a conscious mental choice, and
we must teach ourselves to envisage all things clearly and concretely. An
effective way to accomplish this is to set aside a period of af firmation each
day, and the most beneficial time is just before going to sleep. Then the
image is able to settle down into the subconscious without the distractions
that result from activity. When we af firm our mental image, we have to
know what it is we wish to achieve, whether it is success or health,
improvement in personality, greater happiness, whatever. And we have to
clearly conceive ourselves as possessing it. Be sure that it is something that
is right for you, something that you are willing to devote time and ef fort to

	since	all	polio	cases	invariably	show

a	lack	of	blood	calcium—and	since	the	eating	of	large	amounts	of	refined	sugar

admittedly	lowers	the	calcium	in	the	blood—there	must	be	some	close

connection	between	the	spread	of	polio	and	the	large	amounts	of	sweets	the

modern	youngster	consumes. Soft	drinks	have	been	singled	out	particularly	by

Naturopaths	as	the	likely	culprits	for	this	blood	calcium	deficiency—which

brings	on	these	polio	epidemics	during	the	warm	months	but	candy	and	other

forms	of	refined	sugar,	in	all	probability,	will	eventually	have	to	share	some	of

the	blame. Pregnant	mothers,	noted	for	their	lack	of	blood	calcium	because	of

the	calcium	stealing	by	the	unborn	child,	are	victims	of	polio	400%	more	often

than	other	women. Two	years	ago,	the	country	was	all	stirred	up	about	the	polio	prevention

possibilities	of	gamma	globulin. This	gamma	globulin	was	a	derivative	of	rotten,

human	blood. It	was	made	from	the	great	store	of	"unkilled"	diseased	plasma—
the	amounts	of	which	were	bursting	the	seams	of	the	various	blood	banks. The

doctors	of	the	army,	navy	and	marine	corps	had	refused	absolutely	to	"shoot"

this	putrid	plasma	into	the	bodies	of	wounded	service	men. They	declared	it	was

"too	disease-ridden"	to	use	on	our	heroes	in	uniform	but	such	characterization	of

the	filthy	stuff	did	not	deter	the	medical	men,	on	the	payroll	of	the	March	of

Dimes,	from	proclaiming	it	entirely	suitable	to	go	into	the	clean	bloodstreams	of

helpless	little	American	children. Common	sense	was	thrown	overboard	and	the	protests	of	the	few	thinking

medical	men	were	disregarded. And	as	we	predicted,	this	highly	touted	panacea

turned	out	to	be	a	sham—a	despicable	hoax—and	a	breeder	of	disease. Fortunately,	gamma	globulin	is	now	secretly	abandoned	as	worthless	by	the

March	of	Dimes	although	no	public	announcement	of	that	fact	has	ever	been

made. Yes,	gamma	globulin	"hopes"	have	gone	down	the	drain,	the	March	of

Dimes	remembers	the	incident	merely	as	a	worthless	remedy	that	turned	out	to

be	a	good	money-getter. A	different	situation	entirely	is	found	when	a	survey	is

made	of	the	children	who	were	so	cruelly	subjected	to	these	ghastly	inoculations. From	all	reports	many	of	them	are	even	now	suffering	from	the	effects	of	this

poisoning	and	no	hope	is	held	out	that	matters	will	get	better	as	the	years

advance. We	all	know	that	the	vaccinating	of	the	children	of	Japan	against	smallpox—a
	disgraceful	mass	medication	spree	engineered	by	our	conquering	army’s	medical

doctors—resulted	in	putting	eyeglasses	on	fully	50%	of	the	race	that	Admiral

Perry—back	in	1870—reported	to	have	the	"finest	eyesight	of	any	nation	in	the

world." What	terrors	this	gamma	globulin	filth	will	yet	bring	forth	in	the	bodies

of	those	it	contaminated	is	anybody’s	guess. And	what	of	this	Salk	vaccine? Only	time	will	show	how	greatly	it	damages	and

cripples. Just	remember,	no	vaccine	ever	prevented	any	disease. Sanitation	and

hygiene,	together,	have	beaten	smallpox	and	malaria. More	persons	die	of

smallpox	today	in	countries	having	compulsory	vaccination	against	smallpox

than	pass	out	from	that	disease	in	places	where	no	law	compels	a	population	to

so	poison	its	bloodstreams. Is	a	vaccine	needed	to	kill	the	virus	of	polio? Frankly,	there	is	no	virus	which

CAUSES	polio	normally. Any	more	than	there	is	virus	that	NORMALLY	passes

smallpox	from	one	person	to	another. All	such	viruses—germs	if	you	prefer	the

term—are	the	RESULT	of	such	diseases	already	growing	in	a	weakened	body. Of	course,	a	moronic	doctor	can	CAUSE	almost	any	ailment	in	a	normal	person

by	filling	the	bloodstream	of	the	victim	so	FULL	OF	VIRUS	that	this	poison

overbalances	normal	resistance. But	that	happens	ONLY	when	a	needle-pusher

BY-PASSES	the	natural	filters	which	the	Almighty	has	created	for	the	protection

of	the	blood. In	use,	the	Salk	vaccine	introduces	into	the	child	only	a	small

amount	of	these	viruses. Of	course,	they	will	NOT	PREVENT	polio	and	only	the

Almighty	knows	the	extent	of	the	damage	such	foreign	substances	will	do	to	that

child	in	the	future. Can	the	Salk	vaccine	prevent	polio? It	cannot! Smallpox	vaccine	never	stopped

the	spread	of	smallpox	and	malaria	vaccine	never	stopped	the	spread	of	malaria! If	a	child,	vaccinated	with	the	Salk	filth	continues	to	take	great	quantities	of

refined	sugar	into	its	small	body,	much	of	the	blood	calcium	will	be	destroyed

and—Salk	vaccine	or	not—that	child	will	probably	come	down	with	polio	easier

than	a	youngster	whose	bloodstream	has	not	been	so	weakened. But	while	we	are	on	the	subject	of	the	Salk	vaccine,	let	us	look	at	another	angle. It	should	prove	interesting	to	any	parents	who	foolishly	pushed	their	children

into	the	clutches	of	the	experimenters	during	that	outrageous	orgy	of	last

summer	when	approximately	2	million	children	were	made	"human	guinea-
pigs". It	is	reported	that	fully	one-quarter	of	them	had	that	filthy	Salk	concoction
	"pushed"	into	their	clean	young	bloodstreams. Actually	nobody	but	a	few

"insiders"	of	the	March	of	Dimes	know	which	children	had	their	blood	so

poisoned	and	which	of	them	received	only	colored	water. These	same	‘insiders"

now	can	arrange	the	names	of	those	children	in	any	fashion	they	wish	and	thus

show	any	result	of	this	"mass	medication"	they	believe	will	bring	in	more	dimes

next	year. In	January	of	this	year,	a	certain	Dr.	Robert	F.	Korns	released	to	the	press	a

statement	from	his	workshop	in	the	University	of	Michigan	where	he	supposedly

was	engaged	in	examining	samples	of	blood	taken	from	the	"unknown"	little

children	who	had	been	"Salk	vaccine	poisoned"	during	that	orgy	of	last	year. The

good	doctor	admitted	to	newspaper	men—at	the	EXACT	time	the	March	of

Dimes	was	conducting	a	nation-wide	"scooping	up"	of	every	available	coin—

that	"no	one	in	this	country	knows	whether	the	Salk	vaccine	is	any	good	or	not." This	was	his	complete	summary	of	that	great	"Salk	experiment". But	interesting

as	his	observation	is,	it	shades	into	nothingness	when	compared	with	another

item	which	slipped	from	his	lips	during	the	same	interview. Dr.	Korns	admitted
—	according	to	these	newspaper	accounts,	that	"NONE	OF	HIS	FIVE	SMALL

CHILDREN	WAS	INOCULATED	WITH	THE	SALK	VACCINE". He	gave,	as	his	weak	excuse	for	this	oversight,	the	fact	that	"THE

COMMUNITY	IN
