T he l aunch of T he Medical Manager at the Las Vegas
trade s how was a sight to behold. I flew out to see
Systems Plus at work and to meet the company’s people.
I ha d never be en to anything like that show in my life.
Remember, I had been living  in the woods for years. At
Systems Plus’s booth, THE MEDICAL MANAGER  banners were
plastered all over the place. I t’s one thing to see your kid
grow up  for eighteen years and then watch her honored
at her high school graduation. It’s quite another thing
when y our kid was just born a few months ago and was
now center stage of a very p rofessional production at a
show the size o f COMDEX. Systems Plus had one of the
larger b ooths at the show, and everyone did a wonderful
job presenting the product. The market was ripe for
medical billin g software, and there was tremendous
interest at the b ooth. I marveled at seeing all the Systems
Plus sa lespeople demonstrate the product. The Medical
Manager had no warm-up period. It went from the quiet
woods of Alachua to the big-time lights of Vegas without
a single step in between.
There was no t ime to rest on our laurels. Systems Plus
immediately started signing up dealers and selling the
product. What followed was an avalanche of requests for
new p roduct features an d customizations. Every
specialty want ed something  specific, and the staff of
almost every practice wanted the program to do things
exactly as they were used to doing them on paper. On top
of all this, within a month or two of la unch, Systems Plusinformed me that in addition to the wonderful billing
system we had written, the dealers would need
appointment scheduling and other practice management
features in order to continue successfully selling the
product.
How were we going to do all this? None of us had any
formal t raining or experience in medical software design.
We had to figu re it all out for ourselves—and we did. If
you ask ed me how, I would tell you that my experience
with meditation had shown me that there were two very
distinct aspect s of what we  call mind.  Th ere was the
logical, thought-driven mind that links together what we
already know into complex patterns of thought in order
to com e up with logical solutions. Then there was the
intuitive, insp iration-driven mind that can look at a
problem and instantly see a creative solution. As it
turned out, the years of spi ritual work I had done to
quiet that voice in my head  had opened the door for
almost constant inspiration. It seemed that the quieter
the mind, the more that sol utions became self-evident.
This was also t rue for Barb. Somehow she had the ability
to almost instantly tune in to  the same creative solutions
I ha d se en and  then help me  work out the logic. That is
how Th e Medical Manager was designed, and it is a
tribute to this process that we led the industry for many
years. O ur ability to rapidly design software became
legendary.
In the meantim e, the interest in the product was so
phenomenal th at we could hardly keep up. It seemed like
we wer e being  pushed to ou r limits in every direction.
Take the example of our dealer training seminars. We
held our first annual Medical Manager dealer seminar in
a sm all guest suite at the Gainesville Hilton in spring
1983. T hat one room was ple nty large to hold the fifteen
or twen ty people in attendance. Just a few years later, we
were r enting the entire Gainesville Hilton Hotel,
including all of its two hundred rooms, conferencefacilities, and dining rooms. By the early 1990s, we had
outgrown the Gainesville Hilton and the guest rooms of
all t he surrounding hotels. To  find a hotel big enough to
accommodate us, we had to move the dealer seminar
down to Orlando.
The spiritual growth that came from keeping up with
Personalized P rogramming w as very deep. The diversity
of tasks  that now made up my daily life ranged from
running the Temple and giving spiritual talks three times
a week, to lecturing hundreds of dealer personnel on
medical practice management. Despite all these outer
changes, I did not become a traditional businessman. I
remained a person whose spiritual path was
surrendering to the flow of life and putting his entire
heart a nd soul into what life was giving him to do. My
twice-daily me ditation sessio ns certainly helped to keep
it all in perspective.
The yea r 1985 would turn ou t to be a landmark year.
In only two yea rs, Systems Plus had signed up more than
a hund red dea lers, and we w ere averaging more than a
hundred and fifty new Med ical Manager installations
every month. Our template design for insurance billing
became a huge success, and we were able to do billing to
pretty m uch al l insurance companies across the country.
But bef ore I could catch my breath, the industry was
about to go th rough a tremendous transformation. As
more and more practices computerized, it suddenly
became possible to replace paper billing with electronic
billing. The advantages would prove to be so enormous
that an industrywide push was about to take place. As
successful as we had been wi th our paper billing, we had
no choice but to surrender to the fact that the entire
health-care industry was being pushed into the age of
computer-to-computer communications. Unfortunately,
that was a topic we knew nothing about. The story of how
we ended up leading the in dustry in that area is just
another tribute to the perfection of life’s flow.I remem ber our first design meeting for electronic
claims. We realized immediately that the optimal
solution would  be to use templates, as we had done for
paper billing. But doing this for electronic claims was
way be yond the capabilities of our existing template
design. As far as we knew, n obody had even attempted
such a solution before. The general attitude of my
programming team was that it probably could not be
done, a nd they wouldn’t even know where to begin since
all the different insurance companies could require very
different electronic claim files.
Nonetheless, I didn’t want to give up. That very same
week, another one of life’s miracles took place. On
Sunday after services, a man introduced himself to me as
a former resident at Amrit’s yoga community. He wanted
to know if I might have some work for him if he settled in
the area. His name was Larry Horwitz, and I vaguely
remembered that some people at Amrit’s had told me
how bright he was. I assessed his background and
talents, and it dawned on me that, once again, life may
have se nt us the perfect pers on to tackle the problem at
hand. Though Larry had absolutely no background in
insurance billing, he got really interested in our
innovative app roach to electronic claims. I decided I
might a s well give him a try. After only a broad overview
of the project, I left him pre tty much on his own to see
what he could come up with.
By himself, Larry studied every one of the 250
specification books from the nation’s insurance
companies and mapped out exactly what we would need
in order to us e templates to handle the entire country
with one program. We implemented these changes, and
The Medical Manager now  had an electronic billing
program with designed technology that far surpassed
others in the industry. The response was phenomenal.
Larry became so busy creating the templates that we had
to build an entire department around him. The insurancecompanies end ed up changing their specifications on a
regular basis, and twenty-five years later, Larry Horwitz
was stil l in charge of electronic claims for the company.
How do es such a person just  show up by himself exactly
when needed?
The Me dical Manager led the industry in electronic
claims. Our ability to submit  claims directly to the Blue
Cross Blue Shield and Med icare insurers nationwide
drove t he success of the pro duct. By 1987 we were the
first practice management system in the country that was
able to submit  claims electronically in all fifty states. In
2000, The Medical Manag er was recognized for its
accomplishments in computerizing the medical industry
by being installed in the permanent archives of the
Smithsonian Institution. The tremendous work we did in
successfully co nverting tens of thousands of practices to
electronic transactions has been preserved for
generations to come. I saw all this as just another one of
life’s miracles.3 7.

. When the polio
vaccine was introduced, polio went up 680 percent, as uncovered and
reported by Dr. Leonard Horowitz in his book,
The Emerging Viruses.
 An
article in the
Tampa Tribune
 several years ago told of an infant who
contracted polio from the vaccination itself. The same thing happens with the
flu vaccine. How many people do you know who took the flu shot and still
contracted the flu? This is another example of the stupidity of this toxic
practice, and one that has happened thousands of times.
No one should deny the dangers of vaccines. The measles, mumps,
rubella (German measles) and polio vaccines all contain live but weakened
viruses. Although health officials say that polio has been wiped out in the
U.S. since 1979, they often fail to mention that all recorded cases of polio
since that time are actually
caused
 by the polio vaccine, or that we now
simply call polio by another name—spinal meningitis. When are we going to
lift our heads out of the sand and into the heavens?
A clean and vital body does not get sick. Its immune system is strong and
its ability to protect itself is unbelievable. Natural immunity lasts a lifetime,
whereas vaccinated immunity is shortlived—estimated at only approximately
seven years. We forget that nature (God), through the botanical kingdom,
supplies all that we need. It is far better to use herbal anti-parasitics,
astringents and proliferants to clean and strengthen your body than it is to
pollute it with toxic chemicals, active parasites and foreign proteins.
Many vaccines have been collaborative experiments. One such
experiment was reported between Kaiser Permanente of Southern California
and the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) with the blessing of WHO(the World Health Organization). Between 1989 and 1991, this joint project
used the virus from the Edmon-ston-Zagreb (E-Z) Measles on 1500 “poor,
Black and Latino inner city children, primarily in Los Angeles. This
experimentation had previously been attempted in Africa, Haiti and Mexico,
with devastating results. Large numbers of children died directly from the
vaccine and many more from the effects of its immuno-suppression, leading
to the failure of these children to fight other
pathogens.”
(Cancer Cover-Up
{Genocide}
 by Kathleen Deoul.
See
 Bibliography.)
Vaccinations have led to immuno-suppres-sion and mutation, causing
untold conditions many now suffer from. Human beings and their use of
science have created much unnecessary pain, suffering and death, based in
stupidity and in the desire to control nature and others. Diseases from the
Gulf War Syndrome, AIDS, cancer, mutation of the body, and countless
other conditions can be directly related to vaccinations. Since most vaccines
are alive and manufactured from human and animal tissues like monkey
kidneys, cattle and human embryos, chicken hearts and human placentas,
contamination and mutation of these viruses /vaccines exist. While nature
always keeps itself in balance and harmony, the human ego has brought
about a dangerous level of mutation and imbalance in nature, causing a
frenzy of devastating and soon to be horrendous effects.
Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the National Vaccine Information Center
(NVIC), a consumer’s group based in Virginia (USA), claims that vaccines
are responsible for the increasing numbers of children and adults who suffer
from immune system and neurological disorders, hyperactivity, learning
disabilities, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,
multiple sclerosis and seizure disorders. She calls for studies to monitor the
long-term effects of mass vaccinations, and wants physicians to be absolutely
sure that these vaccines are safe and not harming people. (Good luck on that
one.)
There is overwhelming evidence now from research and reported cases
from the United States, Great Britain, Africa, New Zealand and throughout
the world, that vaccinations are a toxic and deadly practice. Ask yourself:
Why does your government and other agencies that were created to “protect”
the American public i.e., Center for Disease Control (CDC), Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory
Committee (VRBPAC), Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
(ACIP), Human Resource Services (HRS), knowingly allow such atrocities to
exist? What is the difference between what is happening now and whatoccurred in Nazi Germany, where hundreds of thousands of Jews were
destroyed? The difference is that it is legal and has spread worldwide. It now
involves millions of people. The bottom line to this is simple: money. These
same people probably go to church and think they won’t have to pay for such
atrocities. If you think this world is heaven, think again.
Many medical journals (including the prestigious British
Lancet)
 have
reported some of the side effects of these “killer” vaccinations; including side
effects of the measles vaccine, which has been linked to asthma and allergy-
type conditions. The DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) inoculation, which
was first used in the 1940s, had widespread and disastrous results, including
a multitude of deaths. Yet, states still legalized it. Japan outlawed it. The DPT
vaccine has especially been linked to brain damage and neurological injuries
(MS, Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, etc.).
The hepatitis B vaccine also stands out for many reasons. First, hepatitis
B is not a difficult condition to overcome. Over 90 percent of hepatitis B
cases are cured, and I’ve never seen a case
not cured
 by natural means. Yet a
vaccine was created for it, and this vaccine was administered to millions. It
has now been linked to arthritis, diabetes, vascular conditions, Bell’s palsy,
MS and other neurological conditions. In New Zealand, it was reported that
diabetes increased by 60 percent following the introduction of the hepatitis B
vaccine.
The British Medical Journal
 reported a link between the hepatitis B
vaccine and both autism and inflammatory bowel syndrome.
One of the worst cases I’ve seen involved a sixteen-month-old female
baby from Texas. She
had a hepatitis B vaccination at three months of age,
and shortly thereafter she went into constant convulsions. She became
temporarily blind, and her left eye twisted to the left. She developed hepatitis
and brain damage, and also had severe scoliosis of the spine. It took me two
months to eliminate most of her convulsions. Her sight improved and the
inflammation of her liver was diminishing. This was truly a sad case, but
representative of what’s going on in the medical community.
To add insult to injury, research has shown that the HIV virus was
introduced in the Hepatitis B vaccine in four of the largest cities in the United
States. Initially designed as a biological weapon, the HIV virus was
introduced into the poor, ethnic groups and the gay communities. Dr.
Horowitz, author of
The Emerging Viruses,
 has done extensive investigative
research into this matter and has collected a paper trail of who’s who, as well
as the times and places of this whole experiment. What evil thoughts created
and initiated this process are way beyond me. Whatever happened to themedical oath: “First, do no harm”?
Vaccine investigator Neil Z. Miller questions whether we still need the
polio vaccine when it
causes
 every new case of polio in the country. Miller
insists that before mass vaccination programs began fifty years ago, we didn’t
have cancer in epidemic numbers; that autoimmune ailments were barely
known; and that childhood autism did not exist. Our children are now given
twenty to thirty different vaccinations in their lifetime, each having its own
devastating effects. Is it any wonder that the incidence of juvenile diabetes
has soared to
600,000
 new cases per year, and is rising? This example is
representative of most of the diseases out there.
Those of us who work with cancer are appalled by the medical and
scientific arrogance that has created this monster called “vaccines.” Doctors
and researchers who do not understand health and how nature works still
continue their endless efforts to destroy us through the guise of “modern”
medical practices, saying that, “It’s the only way.”
The problem of contamination has always plagued vaccine makers.
During World War II a yellow fever vaccine manufactured with human blood
serum was unknowingly contaminated with hepatitis viruses and given to the
military. This resulted in more than
50,000
 cases of serum hepatitis among
our American troops who were injected with the vaccine.
I also want to mention the simian virus, number 40—also known as Sim-
40 or the SV-40 virus. This virus was created in the early to mid-1950s when
polio vaccines manufactured in monkey kidney tissue became contaminated. I
have focused on this virus for many years now, and as research has shown, it
causes cancer in animals and is probably linked to some lung cancers
(mesothelioma) and bone marrow cancer (multiple myeloma).
Humans today are more toxic and weakened than at any other time in
history. The immune system, through genetics, is now at an all time low.
Since people have chosen the paths they have, particularly through
inoculation with poisons, we are seeing chronic and degenerative weaknesses
or conditions, even in infants. Remember, you cannot put parasites into a
toxic body without severe consequences. Since we know so little about
viruses

Joyous,  Wonderful  is the Privilege  within  your  grasp! 56 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
Do not give  way  to human  concepts,  to human  impulses
which  would  say to you:  "Oh  no, no, you  are just deceiving
yourself,  you  are not  gaining  the  Victory  you  think  you
are."  That  is what  your  human  intellect  would  say to you.
Then  you  say to it: "You  have  no power!  No longer  do you
govern  my world!  You  have  led me into  limitations  for the
last time!  Now  then  step  aside!  Get  out of my way!  "I AM"

accept  THAT  in the  Fulness  of what  It means  to you?
Try,  for one  moment,  to comprehend  what  It means!  Ask
your  Presence  to give  you  the Full  Comprehension  of what
It means  to you;  of the Great  Assistance  which  is being
given;  of the Great  Cosmic  Light  which  makes  all possible
for you  now.
In the great  quantity  of disembodied  intelligences  which

ness of this?  Oh,  the Limitless  Assistance  being  given  to
mankind!  It is as your  people  say in California—so  "Un-

Our Assistance  and  co-operate  with  It, to the Fulness  of all
It means  to you.
Oh, how  great  is the  Rejoicing  of the  Great  Host  of
Light;  because  so many  of mankind  are  understanding
This  Great  Presence;  calling  It into  action  for the Blessing
of all. For your  encouragement,  this  morning  in Europe,  a
Transcendent  Miracle  was  performed.  I doubt  not you  will

Beloved  Ones,  in your  Mighty  Call  to your  Presence;  in
your  Mighty  Decrees,  flooding  the  mental  and  feeling
world  of mankind  with  Our  Great  Perfection;  for the Call 58 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES

America  and  the World!  Glorify  yourselves  as you  feel the
Transcendent  Privilege  which  is yours!  Tonight,  while
These  Words  are being  spoken  to you,  the Final  Activity  is
being  given  for your  Freedom,  if you  will  accept  It.
There  are many  of you  who  have  seemed  to have  the

inadequate and inappropriately administered.
My advice on the proper dosing is available in chapter 11.
T wo basic principles on which I base my approach are:
1. Women never stop making estrogen—it is prob-
ably the only hormone that hardly ever has to bereplaced. It continues to be made by fat cells,skin cells, and the adrenal glands.
2. Women do stop making progesterone. Because
of this, they are always at risk for developingbreast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer,colon cancer, and other cancers from estrogen. 85 MENOP AUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE  MY APPROACH
When certain hormone levels decrease, for either natural or
surgical reasons, the pituitary responds by putting out certainhormones of its own to stimulate the ovaries to make morehormones. (The pituitary and hypothalamus glands are thestructures of the brain that control other glands throughoutthe body.) In this case, the pituitary puts out a hormone calledluteinizing hormone (LH) to stimulate the ovaries to makemore hormones. LH may be the primary cause of the vascularsymptoms women experience when they are going throughmenopause—the hot flashes and night sweats.
It is my feeling that the pituitary’s primary reason for
trying to raise ovarian hormone levels is so the woman can getpregnant. Once the pituitary is convinced a woman no longerneeds to procreate, it stops sending out the signals and the hotflashes and related symptoms disappear. However, if thewoman is placed on high levels of replacement hormones, thepituitary gets confused. It becomes convinced again that thewoman is trying to get pregnant, and so whenever there is asignificant drop (e.g., from stopping Premarin), it puts outLH and the symptoms recur.
The ovaries put out four different hormones—estrogen,
progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. Replacement of anyor all of these hormones can alleviate perimenopausal andmenopausal symptoms. The primary aim of the replacementof hormones is to keep the woman healthy and to prevent thebody from deteriorating.
Since I look at estrogen as a potentially toxic and fat-
creating hormone, and since the body never stops makingestrogen, I take a relatively sparing approach to its use. Iprimarily prescribe estrogen for several reasons—to help86 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  alleviate hot flashes or night sweats, to help with “brain fog,”
and to relieve vaginal dryness. I will be discussing dosages,along with the various types of natural bio-identical estrogenavailable, in chapter 11. About two years prior to menopausewomen stop ovulating, which means they stop producingprogesterone. This causes them to experience an increase inPMS, breast tenderness, cramps, and related symptoms. Theremay be a development of fibroids or fibrocystic disease in thebreast, both being conditions caused by estrogen when thereis not enough progesterone.
Progesterone is one of the most important hormones in a
woman’s body and, in my view, is probably the only hormonethat has to be replaced after menopause. T estosterone andDHEA are two other hormones I often prescribe for mypatients. I discuss the usual recommended dosages andapplications in chapter 11.
THE BENEFITS OF PROGESTERONE
Looking over the stories of my patients presented in this book,
you can see that even though they had various medicalproblems, every one of them had conditions related to adeficiency of progesterone. Keep in mind that every problemrelated to estrogen is created by a progesterone deficiency.Giving women natural progesterone takes away menstrualcramps, PMS, breast tenderness, menstrual migraines, andasthma. It prevents fibroids, endometriosis, fibrocystic disease,and estrogen-induced cancers.
The benefits of progesterone after menopause are as follows:
It can eliminate hot flashes and prevent and treat osteoporosis.It is a natural anti-depressant—it is the feel-good hormone forwomen. Progesterone is thermogenic—it helps fat to burn. It87 MENOP AUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE  prevents Alzheimer’s disease, is great for the heart, and restores
the libido (estrogen does nothing for the libido).
Throughout this book are numerous references to the
benefits of progesterone in terms of preventing estrogen-inducedcancer. It helps eliminate attention deficit disorder (ADD) andis the number one hormone for lowering insulin levels, therebyhelping to prevent obesity and adult-onset diabetes.
WHAT ABOUT TESTOSTERONE?
The ovaries are the primary (but not the only) source of testos-
terone in women. My feeling is that testosterone is the secondmost important hormone to be replaced, after progesterone.Again, it certainly is a lot more important to replace thanestrogen. In women, testosterone is the main hormone thatprevents Alzheimer’s (progesterone is second). It is the numberone hormone for preventing and treating osteoporosis (proges-terone is second). It is the number one hormone for the heartbecause there are more testosterone receptor sites in heartmuscle than in any other tissue (250,000 people die ofcongestive heart failure every year, caused by weakening of theheart muscle). You cannot build muscle without testosterone,so it helps keep muscles toned; it gives women more energyand makes them feel more assertive. T estosterone is alsonecessary for an interest in sex; women often begin fantasizingabout sex around 6 weeks after starting on testosteroneand progesterone.
Another benefit of testosterone is that it can, when used
correctly, that is, when used in tandem with certain exercises,eliminate urinary incontinence in about six days.88 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  DHEA— THE ANTI-AGING HORMONE
Forty percent of the DHEA in a woman’s body is produced by
the ovaries; the other 60 percent comes mainly from the adren-als. However, as time passes, a woman’s DHEA levels go down.
This hormone is an important part of the immune system
and helps to prevent cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Womenwith the highest levels of DHEA have the lowest incidence ofbreast cancer. DHEA also helps to prevent the “bad” cholesterol(LDL) from oxidizing. It is a precursor to estrogen and testos-terone, so it can help to alleviate hot flashes. It is also considereda fat-burning hormone.
Surprisingly, even though DHEA is a very powerful
hormone, it can be purchased over the counter as a foodsupplement in drug and health food stores. This by itself is atestament to the lack of information about hormones amongmedical practitioners. Like any other hormone, it should beused correctly, and only if there is a deficiency.89 MENOP AUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE  HORMONES FOR WOMEN —
THE “HOW-TO” CHAPTER
chapter ELEVEN
The replacement of natural hormones is not an exact science. It
requires a team approach among the patient, the doctor, and thecompounding pharmacist.
Over time, dosages may have to be adjusted, based not so
much on lab tests as on symptoms. For one thing, hormonelevels can vary through the course of the day. For another,every person’s hormone pattern is unique; there is no one-size-fits-all dosage. However, there are certain truisms. Forinstance, it’s fair to generalize that in postmenopausal women,the estrogen level is lower but estrogen is still being produced,testosterone levels are much lower, DHEA levels are at least 40to 50 percent lower, and progesterone levels are virtuallynon-existent.
The dosages and protocols that I recommend in this book
are based on feedback from and experience with the thousandsof men and women I have treated. If you feel that a certainapproach might be appropriate for yourself, make notes anddiscuss it with your doctor. If he or she feels comfortable withthe suggestions, a prescription may be obtained, to be filled by acompounding pharmacy. These are regular pharmacies that also
91have pharmacists specially trained in compounding various
pharmaceuticals, including natural bio-identical hormones.
If your doctor is reluctant to deal with natural hormones,
I suggest contacting a compounding pharmacy and askingthem to recommend a physician who is amenable to naturalbio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
PROGESTERONE
Progesterone is the number one hormone that has to be
replaced in most women as they approach and go throughmenopause. Doctors frequently say that if a woman doesn’thave a uterus, she doesn’t need progesterone. This is not correct.As we have seen, progesterone is an essential hormone forprotection against cancer and for addressing a wide spectrum ofmedical conditions. The level of progesterone drops as a personages. Replacing it as part of an HRT regimen can be a keystoneto good health. The benefits of natural bio-identical proges-terone have been stated repeatedly throughout this book. It isapplied as a transdermal cream that is absorbed through theskin fairly rapidly. Giving hormones as a cream allows them tobypass the liver initially.
The problem with the oral form of bio-identical proges-
terone, as recommended in Suzanne Somers’ books,
The Sexy
Years and Ageless, is that it goes directly to the liver and gets
converted to another hormone called pregnanediol. The samething happens with the oral progesterone called Prometrium.This too is bio


 here pertains equally as well to new-born love.
Ordinarily, a form of spiritual amnesia blots out the knowled ge that we
were ever in the light; this forgetfulness parallels the growth of a tough skin
called ego that screens out knowledge that cannot be verified  by the fivesenses. Until, that is, the second birth of innocence, called infatuation. Like
a newborn child, the infatuated lover sees through eyes that make the world
holy.
Modern child psychology supports this notion. As far as
neurophysiologists can tell, infants do feel awash in a sea of oneness.
Without boundaries or ego restraints, they are little gods in their worlds,
their every need met simply by crying and reaching out, their self-
centeredness so complete that every other person and thing is a mere
extension of an all-pervading awareness of themselves.
Feeling totally merged with your environment would seem to serve no
evolutionary purpose for a species, since it eliminates the possibility of
defending yours elf. Recently it was discovered, however, that humans are
born with much more complete brains than we possess in adulthood. The
threadlike conne ctions, called dendrites, that branch off from every neuron
are far more numerous just after birth than in any later stage of life.
Dendrites are filaments of communication between brain cells, and
presumably their oversupply at birth contributes to a baby’ s sense of being
enveloped in a sea of sights, sounds, tastes, textures, and smells. From
billions of bits of sensory data, the infant begins to select, to discriminate.
As the range of reality gets narrowed down, like a radio band instead of one
wash of noise, multitudes of dendrites are no longer needed.
In short, we pare down reality until we can handle it in rational terms, as
neat slices of sensory data. Wordsworth was probably entire ly accurate
when he remembered a world bathed in light, for a baby’ s eyes could very
likely see that way.
But this does not explain why lovers—and saints—revert to such a
“primitive” perception. What makes infatuation so dubious to a rationalist
—many psychologists won’ t even grant it the dignity of being called love—
is that lovers return to a state devoid of useful discriminations. But’from the
spiritual perspective what seems like a primitive regression may be a primal
one instead. Love’ s gift is to strip away a lifetime of imprints in the psyche
that condition us to believe in separateness, returning us to the reality we
were born in, which contains only love.
All of us have been conditioned  since childhood to believe in a material
world that can be verified by the senses. Lovers, being no different from the
rest of us in this regard, often report that they live in two worlds, sweptaway by an overwhelming sense of merging and at the same time
rationalizing that it can’t be real. The beloved isn’t an enchanted being; the
world is not bathed in perfection’ s light—this must all be temporary
insanity. Now comes the most  delicate moment of all, for two opposed
perceptions are warring within, and only one will survive.
The problem is that both are true. How can two perceptions of the same
event be equally  valid? This is one of the key issues in any spiritual event,
because perception is a choice. The psychological description of falling in
love is so opposed to the spiritual that they hardly seem to fit the same
phenomenon.
Falling in love is
   Psychological Spiritual
   Temporary Timeless
   Illusory Transcendent
   Excited Peaceful
   Attached Freeing
   Hormone-based Soul-based
   Imaginary unity Real unity
   Childish regression Enhanced evolution
You do not have to go much further than this list to understand why even
the most timeles s of experiences, one that exposes the soul and opens the
heart to bliss, doesn’ t survive very long. Arrayed against it is an entire
worldview in which such things  are not acknowledged as real. Not only are
most people unprepared for the opening of spirit but they have been
actively conditio ned against it by the materialism that gave rise to modern
psychology, stripping love of any “higher” meaning.
Love, however, has the power to unite our two worlds. Metaphysics says
that the world is both immanent and transcendent. Immanent  means
“material, changing, subject to time.” Transcendent  means “eternal,
timeless, and beyond the material.” The lover sees a more  real world
because he or she looks at ordinary things and finds the spiritual light that is
actually there. The rest of us miss the transcendent and therefore claim itdoesn’ t exist; we are doing the best we can, yet we cannot claim truth for
our side.
The mystery is not whether you will begin to transcend your old reality
when you fall in love, for that is certain. What is mysterious is that being
engulfed in your beloved is also divine. But the visitation of spirit is a
subtle phenomenon, and a very impatient one. Either spirit takes  you with it
or it quickly departs.
Transcendence comes in many forms. Astronauts awed by the sight of the
earth, a blue pearl hovering against the blackness of the universe, have
transcended; the first mountaineers to scale the Alps recorded the
transcendent exaltation of their experience. In other words, falling in love is
not as unique as it may feel; in fact it is the most common of transcending
experiences, given how few of us go up in space or ascend the Matterhorn.
Common insigh ts link all these  peak experiences: one feels that life is a
blessed state, that fear is unreal because death is not an extinction but
merely a transiti on, that love surrounds and nourishes us all, and that some
part of ourselves lives beyond the world of struggle and care, in the domain
of pure existence.
From a spiritua l point of view, infatuation opens us up to these same
insights—the beloved serves as a trigger, like the mountain, the space walk,
the near-death encounter. This is not to diminish the allure of the beloved,
for the transcendent wonder of infatuation has no difficulty shining through
the physical delight—in love, the immanent and the transcendent are one.
OceanofPDF.comLOVING  PRACTICE
Seeing Beyond
NOT ONL Y INF ATUA TED lovers have a sense of living in two worlds. The literal
meaning of transcending  is “going beyond,” and at moments of clarity it is
possible for anyone to be aware that reality isn’t confined to the five senses.
Peak experiences open up windows to spirit. Yet “going beyon d” is not an
accurate descrip tion of the experience of transcending, since there is no
distance to cover; spirit never leaves us, it is only overlooked.
This practice trains you to stop overlooking the spirit and love that
surround you, waiting to be noticed.
Although it means “going beyond,” a better way to describe transcending is
“seeing beyond. ” What can you see beyond the apparently solid facade of
life, the constant flow of time, the limitations of space, and the laws of
cause and effect? If the answer is very little, the reason is that your
perception has not been trained for such vision. Yet every day contains
clues of the second reality we all inhabit, which is timeless, unbounded,
causeless, and intimately tied to our needs on the path to love.
First examine the following list to determine if you have experienced
these sorts of clues:
1. In the midst of danger or crisis, have you suddenly had the feeling of
being completely safe and protected?
2. Have you been with someone who was dying and felt a sense of peace
or a coolness in the air when the moment of passing came?
3. Have you known someone who recovered from an “incurable” illness?
4. Have you prayed and had your prayer answered?
5. Have you ever witnessed a soft light around another person or
yourself?6. Have you ever asked for silent guidance or the answer to a dilemma
and received it?
7. When looking at a sunset, a full moon, or something of great natural
beauty, have you felt yourself expand as if you were no longer
enclosed within the physical limits of your body?
8. Have you experienced a silencing of your mind, perhaps just before
going to sleep or on first waking up?
9. Have you felt a loving presence when you most needed it?
10. Do you ever hear an inner voice you feel you can absolutely rely on?
(This voice doesn’ t have to speak in words; it can also be a strong
feeling or intuition.)
11. Have you felt wonder at the sight of a newborn child?
This isn’t a quiz. You aren’ t trying to answer yes to as many questions as
possible, but if you did say yes to any of them, pick the one that resonated
most for you. Let us say it was the first one: feeling a sudden sense of safety
and protection in the midst of crisis or danger. Close your eyes and put
yourself back into that situation ; see all the details of where you were, who
you were with, what time it was, and so on. Try to relive the moment, but
instead


 always, that what you are seeking is also seeking  you,
and whenever you want to sell a home or property of any kind, there is
 125  always someone who wants what you have to offer By using the
powers of your subconscious mind correctly, you free your mind of al l
sense of competition and anxiety in buying and selling.
• How she succeeded in getting what she wanted
There is a young lady who regularly comes to my lectures and
classes. She had to change buses three times; it took her one a nd a half
hours each time to come to the lectures. In one lecture I explained how
a young man who needed a car in his work received one.
She went home and experimented as outlined in my lecture. He re is
her letter in part, narrating her application of my method, a nd
published by her permission:
Dear Dr. Murphy:
This is how I received a Cadillac car—I wanted one to come to t he
lectures regularly. In my imagination I went through the identica l
process I would go through if I were actually driving a car. I went to
the showroom, and the sales-man took me for a ride in one. I also
drove it several blocks. I claimed the Cadillac car as my  own over and
over again.
I kept the mental picture of getting into the car, drivi ng it, feeling
the upholstery, etc., consistently for over two weeks. Last we ek I
drove to your lectures in a Cadillac. My uncle in Inglewood p assed
away, and left me his Cadillac and his entire estate.
• A success technique employed by many outstanding executives
and businessmen
There are many prominent businessmen who quietly use the abstr act
term, “success,” over and over many times a day until they rea ch a
conviction that success is theirs. They know that the idea of success
contains all the essential elements of success. Likewise, y ou can begin
now to repeat the word, “suc-cess,” to yourself with faith a nd
conviction. Your subconscious mind will accept it as true of you, and
you will be under a subconscious compulsion to succeed.
 126  You are compelled to express your subjective beliefs, im-p ressions,
and convictions. What does success imply to you? You want,
undoubtedly, to be successful in your home life and in your
relationship with others. You wish to be outstanding in your chosen
work or profession. You wish to possess a beau-tiful home, and all  the
money you need to live comfortably and happily. You want to be
successful in your prayer life and in your contact with the powers  of
your subconscious mind.
You are a businessman also because you are in the busi-ness of
living. Become a successful businessman by imagining yoursel f doing
what you long to do, and possessing the things you long to possess.
Become
imaginative; mentally participate in the reality of the s uccessful
state. Make a habit of it. Go to sleep feeling successful every night,
and perfectly satisfied, and you will eventually succeed in i mplanting
the idea of success in your subconscious mind. Believe you were born
to succeed, and wonders will happen as you pray!
• Profitable pointers
1. Success means successful living. When you are peaceful, happy,
joyous, and doing what you love to do, you are successful.
2. Find out what you love to do, and then do it. If you don’t know
your true expression, ask for guidance, and the lead will come.
3. Specialize in your particular field and try to know more about it
than anyone else.
4. A successful man is not selfish. His main desire in life is to serve
humanity.
5. There is no true success without peace of mind.
6. A successful man possesses great psychological and spirit ual
understanding.
 127  7. If you imagine an objective clearly, you will be provided w ith the
necessities through the wonder-working power of your subconscious
mind.
8. Your thought fused with feeling becomes a subjective belief, and
according to your belief is it done unto you.
9. The power of sustained imagination draws forth the miracle -
working powers of your subconscious mind.
10. If you are seeking promotion in your work, imagine your
employer, supervisor, or loved one congratulating you on your
promotion. Make the picture vivid and real. Hear the voice, see the
gestures, and feel the reality of it all. Continue to do this fre quently,
and through frequent occupancy of your mind, you will experience the
joy of the answered prayer.
11. Your subconscious mind is a storehouse of memory. For a
perfect memory, affirm frequently: “The infinite intellig ence of my
subconscious mind reveals to me everything I need to know at all
times, everywhere.”
12. If you wish to sell a home or property of any kind, affirm
slowly, quietly, and feelingly as follows: “Infinite intell igence attracts
to me the buyer for this house or property, who wants it, and who
prospers in it.” Sustain this awareness, and the deeper c urrents of your
subconscious mind will bring it to pass.
13. The idea of success contains all the elements of success. R epeat
the word, “success,” to yourself frequently with faith and convict ion,
and you will be under a subconscious com-pulsion to succeed.
• Scientists Use the Subconscious Mind
Many scientists realize the true importance of the sub-consc ious
mind. Edison, Marconi, Kettering, Poincarè, Ein-stein, and many
others have used the subconscious mind. It has given them the i nsight
and the “know-how” for all their great achievements in modern
science and industry. Research has shown that the ability to b ring into
 128  action the subconscious power has determined the success of al l the
great scientific and research workers.
An instance of how a famous chemist, Friedrich von Stradonitz,
used his subconscious mind to solve his problem is as follows: H e had
been working laboriously for a long time trying to rearrange t he six
carbon and the six hydrogen atoms of the benzine formula, and he was
constantly perplexed and unable to solve the matter. Tired and
exhausted, he turned the request over completely to his subconsci ous
mind. Shortly after-ward, as he was about to board a London bus, his
subconscious presented his conscious mind with a sudden flash of a
snake biting its own tail and turning around like a pin wheel. This
answer, from his subconscious mind, gave him the longsought answer
of the circular rearrangement of the atoms that is known as th e
benzine ring.
• How a distinguished scientist brought forth his inventions
Nikola Tesla was a brilliant electrical scientist who br ought forth
the most amazing innovations. When an idea for a new invention
came into his mind, he would build it up in his imagina-tion, know ing
that his subconscious mind would reconstruct and reveal to his
conscious mind all the parts needed for its manufacture in concre te
form.
Through quietly contemplating every possible improvement, he
spent no time in correcting defects, and was able to give the
technicians the perfect product of his mind.
He said, “Invariably, my device works as I imagined it should. In
twenty years there has not been a single exception.”
• How a famous naturalist solved his problem
Professor Agassiz, a distinguished American naturalist, disc overed
the indefatigable activities of his subconscious mind while he slept.
His widow in her biography of her famous husband has reported the
following.
 129   “He had been for two weeks striving to decipher the some-what
obscure impression of a fossil fish on the stone slab in w hich it was
preserved. Weary and perplexed, he put his work aside at last, and
tried to dismiss it from his mind. Shortly after, he waked one night
persuaded that while asleep he had seen his fish with all the missing
features perfectly restored. But when he tried to hold and ma ke fast
the image it escaped him. Nevertheless, he went early to the Jardin des
Plantes, thinking that on looking anew at the impression he should s ee
something, which would put him on the track of his vision. In vain—
the blurred record was as black as ever. The next night he saw the fish
again, but with no more satisfactory result. When he awoke it
disappeared from his memory as before. Hoping that the same
experience might be repeated, on the third night he placed a pencil and
paper beside his bed before going to sleep.
“Accordingly, toward morning the fish reappeared in his dream,
confusedly at first, but at last with such distinctness t hat he had no
longer any doubt as to its zoological characters. Still half dreaming, in
perfect darkness, he traced these charac-ters on the shee t of paper at
the bedside. In the morning he was surprised to see in his noct urnal
sketch features, which he thought it impossible the fossil i tself should
reveal. He hastened to the Jardin des Plantes, and, with his draw ing as
a guide, succeeded in chiseling away the surface of the stone


 John Harvey Kellogg say he knew of many cases in which operations were prevent ed
by cleansing and revitalizing the bowel. He maintained that 90% of the diseases of civilization are due to improper functioni ng of
the colon. Sir Arbuthnot Lane (M.D.) of London has shown the relation between bowel stasis and disease. He left no doubt a s to
how seriously he regarded the effects of intestinal intoxication when he said, “The lower end of the intestine is of the size  that
requires emptying every six hours, but by habit we retain its contents twenty -four hours. The result is ulcers and cance r.”
Besides these world -renowned exponents of intestinal sanitation, other authorities have given recognition to the belief that
cleanliness of the colon is necessary to good health. It is believed that disorders such as appendicitis, infected tonsils, l iver and
gall-bladder infections, dysfunction of the heart and blood vessels, sinusitis, arthritis and rheumatism, etc., no doubt have thei r
origin in a sluggish colon. There is also an increasing number of morbid conditions in the various parts of the colon, involving the
flexures, the rectum and the anus. Consider the amount of surgery and various therapies of hemorrhoids, fistulas, prostate
disturbances and malignancies.

While I attended the National College in Chicago  many years ago, autopsies were performed on 300 persons. According to the
history of these persons, 285 had claimed they were not constipated and had normal movements, and only 15 had admitted they
were constipated. The autopsies showed the opposite to be  the case, however, and only 15 were found not to have been
constipated, while 285 were found to have been constipated. Some of the histories of these 285 persons stated they had had as
many as 5 or 6 bowel movements daily, yet autopsies revealed that in s ome of them the bowels were 12 inches in diameter. The
bowel walls were encrusted with material (in one case peanuts) which had been lodged there for a very long time. Thus we see that
the average patient coming to a doctor’s office does not know whether o r not he is constipated. Some of my patients believe that if
they have three bowel movements a day they have diarrhea, and that a couple of movements a week is normal. An example of the
latter was a lady patient I had who assured me that she had normal mov ements; that her bowels moved regularly, every Tuesday
and Friday morning. Most people have not been properly educated in their childhood to realize the importance of adequate dail y
elimination and to heed nature’s call to evacuate the rectum. This indiffe rence to the natural urge to evacuate the bowels may be
the beginning of constipation.

Doctor John Harvey Kellogg, who gave us so much of his philosophy and practical experience, lived to the age of 91. Since he did
more work in connection with intestinal  sanitation than anyone in this country, his advice should be worth listening to. It was his
opinion that we should eliminate the residue of each meal 15 to 18 hours after eating it. Babies, savages, birds and animals
evacuate a short time after each meal.  Observe from the following statistics published by the Register General of England that no
group has contributed more to the death rate from intestinal diseases than doctors.

“Comparative Mortality from Diseases of the Digestive System.”
Physicians, sur geons 50
Inn-keepers 45
Barristers, solicitors 44
Seamen 43
Clergymen, priests, ministers 34
Butchers 30
Car men, carriers 28
Farmers 25
Gardeners 22
Railway guards, porters 20
Agricultural labourers 19
Average among all workers 28

As shown by the above s tatistics, the death rate of doctors is 31 points higher than that of agricultural laborers, and 22 points
higher than that of the average death rate of all workers who die of diseases of the digestive system. Is there a way that th ese
troubles can be avoi ded? Yes there is. Early detection will help in many cases, but the real remedy is found in changing the diet
and ways of living. In the meantime, there is only one way that we can do this and that is by making sure that everyone has a n X-
ray to see if the se conditions actually exist. We believe that practically everyone has bowel troubles in the civilized world today
due in part to the way we are eating. We can’t usually sense these things because the nerve supply to the bowel is so poor th at we
don’t know  we have a serious problem until we have pain. Any time there is pain in the bowel, it is a serious condition. Whenever
there is gas, and it cannot be taken care of through the ordinary food routine or through ordinary treatments, then we know i t is
very s erious indeed. I believe that long before any of these symptoms appear in the body there are preconditions in the bowel and
we should be able to see how to take care of these things before symptoms appear. If a person is going to check up on the pre sence
of diverticula, possibly the best way is through the barium enema X -ray. This is one of the finest ways of doing it. There should
always be two X -rays; one when the bowel is full of the barium meal and one taken after it is emptied. Years ago, I was very
astounded when I took a picture of the bowel. We could see that there was some of the barium meal in a little pouch or
diverticulum. A week later, another X -ray was taken of the same patient for a gall bladder scan. Upon examination of the negative
we were a ble to see the barium meal still settled in various diverticula throughout the colon. If barium meal can stay there for a
week, what happens when food stays there? There is no food that should stay in the colon constantly and over a period of a we ek’s
time.

We find through the work in iridology that most diverticula have settled in the sigmoid colon. We feel that this is the logic al place
due to the fact that the patient hasn’t answered nature’s call in the past. Bowel accumulations from not only one, two but from ten
even fifteen meals have backed up because many people are that much behind in getting rid of the toxic wastes that develop fr om
the food they eat. We find that many patients are having only one bowel movement a week; some two bowel movements a  week. I
had a patient who had a bowel movement every eighteen days and was still consuming three meals a day. The driest part of any
stool is always in the sigmoid colon. Because of this condition, the sigmoid colon has to withstand the greatest amount of  pressure
in trying to get rid of this dry stool. With the toilet designed the way it is, it becomes even a greater strain on the sigmo id than on
any other part of the intestinal tract. It is here that we find the driest material working the greatest hards hip on the mucosa of the
bowel wall itself. Further we find that the kinds of foods that man is eating today are excessive in meats and the putrefacti ve
materials —the heavy additives cause greater irritation. In addition, there are the spices, especially b lack pepper, which are
considered quite an irritant to the colon and to the liver.

 Many of the coal tar additives develop into drug accumulations as a result of ingesting into our bodies the various nostrums that
are so readily taken from the drugstore without prescription. We find that the sigmoid colon is the greatest place in the bowel for
these things to settle. Further, we do not bring children up to realize that bowel movements are the most important thing to take
care of in the body. We get busy; we let things slide - we put things aside; we “cannot take care of it now.” The refining of
carbohydrates has removed the lecithin, oils and vitamin E from these foods. These act as a lubrication when present. The
lubrication is not sufficient in refined f oods to keep the feces moving for proper elimination. I believe that diverticulosis is a
civilized disease. It is a disease that has come about by our wrong living habits. It isn’t a matter of not having enough fib er one or
two days, it is a matter of not having it over a period of many years that can produce this diverticulitis. We find that fast living -
not chewing our foods properly; going to the quick -snack shops and eating foods that lack bran (the hull or outside coating), and
taking the skins from p otatoes, apples, pears, peaches and vegetables deprives the bowel of adequate bulk and fiber. We are
eliminating the fiber that we would naturally have to eat and which could well be the basis of giving the bowel wall all the exercise
that would be necessa ry to keep it from forming a diverticulum.

People have gone from the smooth diet of pancakes, pasta and many of the other soft foods that we have today to those of extr eme
roughage and have caused many disturbances. We believe that by taking our time and slowly changing over from the soft diet to a
more rough diet, we can eventually diminish and remove the effects of the diverticula that

He had cataract in his eye, and by Urine Therapy, he got rid of it completely.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  CENTIPEDE IN EAR  “From my personal experience I know that any ear-trouble disappears with the drops of fresh or little warmed-up urine. I still remember an incident of my childhood, when I was a student of class eight. Once I was sleeping on a marble floor of a temple along with my brother and a friend, during night, a centipede entered into my ear.   I, a mere boy, was upset with the trouble. The gatekeeper of the temple told me - "Nothing can be done during the night. Put your urine into the ear and wait for the result till morning." My brother dropped my urine into my ear. In the morning I was frightened to see the centipede torn into pieces, sticking near the ear-lobe.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel   CEREBRAL PALSY  "My daughter is adopted. Her mom drank and did drugs throughout the pregnancy. She was born 3 months early weighing 2.5 pounds. The Drs. said she'd never live to see 5. She's 22 today. She has many disabilities including Cerebral Palsey. The CP caused her to have no bladder or bowel control. Her bladder leaked constantly. So she was in diapers for 21 years. The start of 2012 I found The Water Of Life by Armstrong. After reading it I was convinced that UT could help my daughter. I was not able to collect her urine as she was in diapers. I had read somewhere that if a child is ill in a home there is no need to worry if you cannot collect their urine because the adults in the home will have what the child needs. Our bodies are compassionate and read what is needed. So I started putting shot glasses of my urine in her drinks. After 2 months her bladder no 49 longer leaked and she gained complete control of her bladder. After 2 more months she gained control of her bowels. She has now been diaper free for over a year. Since she has CP she uses an adult "potty chair" next to the bed. I keep it clean so that I can collect her own urine and now put shot glasses of her own urine in her drinks. I expect more healings to come but this is where we are now. Thanks for letting me share."

I also used pine tar in the bath. After a couple of days I could definitely detect the benefits of taking urine as opposed to when I didn’t take it.  The pine tar helped a little to abate the overwhelming skin irritation. But the urine seemed to help my whole body. I was able to cope much better.   I only got one round of skin eruptions which was possibly due to the early use of a “zapper”. Overall I had a much less traumatic experience when compared to other stories of adult chicken pox.  As a child I had not had chicken pox. At the time of getting it as an adult I had been under acute stress.  Thank you for your help. You may use part or all of this letter in any promotion.

He used to prepare Ayurvedic medicines and distributed it among the people free of cost. Folks from nearby villages came to take his medicines.  Whenever there was an ailing child, my grandfather took him in his lap and as the child passed urine, gave him five to six drops to drink. Then he used to advise mother that if the child feels a thirst for water, she should give him his own urine to drink. That would eliminate the necessity of taking a child to a Vaidya and giving him some laxative. Urine naturally kept the bowels clean and consequently the child would never be ill.

The Golden Fountain by Coen van


 we all have a one -track mind. We keep thinking about w hat we’re thinking
about —going to all the same places over and over. As you would know if you rode an actual
train through its entire route, this gets you nowhere. You wind up right back where you
started.
Soooo... to change all that, you have to be fas t enough to slow down.
You have to be quick enough to stop your mind from racing on, and slow your process of
particularization, dropping your vibe to the level of your soul -frequency. Your soul’s
oscillation is so slow that you cannot see it.
Now I know t hat this is the exact reverse of everything you’ve ever learned, everything
you’ve ever been told. You’ve been told to “raise your vibration,” and that enlightenment is
about “consciousness -raising.” Actually, it’s just the opposite. It’s about lowering yo ur
vibration. It’s about slowing down to the frequency rate of the Invisible. It’s about getting
closer to the Primal Sound. That is why monks and some others who meditate often sit
together and chant the sound of Om in a deep, rich tone. It is about slowi ng down the vibe.
It is about being out of your mind.
The place of your body in all of this? It is, as I said, simply and only an instrument. The
question is, are you using it as an instrument of the mind or an instrument of the soul? And
what I am saying here is that, at best, it should be an instrument of both.
I don’t want to paint the mind as the enemy here. It is not. Most decidedly, it is a miracle
machine. Yet we must let the mind do what the mind was designed to do, and the soul do
what the soul was  created to do. We must remember that we are tri -part beings, and that
the body —also a “miracle machine” —is nevertheless the least of the three. It is a device,
there to do our bidding.
Do not, therefore, get caught up in things of the body. Take care of t he body, for sure —
just as you would take care of your car or your home or any other valuable possession. Yet
do not confuse yourself about Who You Are.
You are not the body. You are not the mind. You are not even the soul. You are all
three —and more. You a re the Spirit that forms  all three. You are The Energy. You are The
Essence.
Please do not regret
all those moments that have brought you
Here.
If you are reading this,
then your perseverance has been answered,
and a Grace is coming.
So for now, hold on lo osely to where you are.
And like knots on a rope that mark your reaching,
hand over hand
you will continue to climb — sometimes through ecstasy,
sometimes through white agony,
higher
into evermore light.
This same formula over
and over again.
Until that day  you find yourself
just a beacon;
only flame.
In a place
where even Love Itself  has come undone.

LIFE’S WONDER
I HAVE KNOWN MANY  people who never really think about life. “I’m too busy,” they tell me.
“I’ll leave that to writers and poets.”
For this reason many people find themselves living in a world where stuff is going on
that no one seems to want to have going on. How it is pos sible for six billion people to want
the same thing and not be able to get it? they ask. What kind of a world is this? they want to
know. Or, in the words of that heart -sinking song by Peggy Lee from so many years ago, “Is
that all there is?” If that’s all  there is... somebody send in the clowns, because this has got
to be a circus.
But it’s not a circus, it’s a beautifully orchestrated symphony, with God as the conductor
and all of us as the musicians. All we have to do to make beautiful music together is know
the score.
When we see life as it really is, it all suddenly makes sense. Then the changes that are
occurring are seen as gifts and not burdens. And then future changes will be
demonstrations of creation, not tests of endurance.
Life is a process. It is not something that is “just happening,” it is something that is
happening on purpose. There is something that life is designed to do. What is the outcome
that life is trying to produce?
That is the question of the hour. Indeed, of the century. The an swer can be offered at two
levels...
UNIVERSALLY: Life is the process by which God expresses  God, experiences  God, and
expands  God.
INDIVIDUALLY: Life is intended to produce for you a direct experience of who you really
are—and then, an opportunity to g o to the next level in your expression of that.
Put simply, the purpose of life is to know life and to express more life through the
process of life itself, manifested through all the individuations of life —in this particular
case: You.
Life meets its purp ose through the process called  Change.
That is, Life (God) is always changing in order to always be creating and recreating Itself
anew, in a way that expands Itself.
Many people in the world think that God (as opposed to humans) causes Change, in the
sens e that God causes everything. Ah, but does God? Is there even a God at all (in the sense
of a Supreme Being existing apart and separate from us) who would or could do that? And
if there is, why would God cause one Change and not another? Why would God do “ this”
and not “that,” favor this person or project and not that one? What are God’s criteria?  Yes, there are those who believe that God is pulling the levers, for reasons known only to
Him and, presumably, those who follow the One True Religion (whatever religion that
might be in any particular case).
So what is true about all this? Is “God” pulling the levers? Or is life a process that runs all
by itself?
The answer is no to both questions. “God” (as that separate, Supreme Being) is not
pulling the levers... and... life is not a process that runs all by itself.
Life’s wonder is that it is a process in which you, as a sentient being filled with the
consciousness of self -awareness, have the opportunity to create your own experience and
your o wn reality, to know yourself as you appear to be, to express yourself as you came to
be, and finally, to recreate yourself as you wish to be in the next grandest version of
yourself. Life’s wonder is that the whole human race, jointly, has the same opportu nity! We
are, daily, co -creating our collective reality.
Life’s wonder is that it is a glorious adventure and a sweet, sweet journey, and I know
and understand that it does not appear to be that way for many, many people. Indeed, it is
when I see the suffe ring of others that I am the most tempted to give up my idea about life’s
wonder, about this being a friendly universe, and about God being a friendly God.
We talked about this earlier, and I have been given answers to this riddle often. Yet there
are stil l times when my mind is perplexed and my heart is heavy and only my soul is at
peace in the midst of all of the travail that I witness being visited upon the lives of others, if
not in my own life.
Why the travail?  I ask, even though I have been given the answer. Why the tragedies?  I
cry.
And the One Soul replies...
Once again, my sweet, caring, compassionate one, you do not and cannot know
of the “soul assignment” which has been given to —and accepted by —another
blessed Individuation of God. Yet can you not believe Me when I tell you that no
Aspect of Divinity can be, at the soul level, victimized or damaged in any way? I
know that at the human level, hurt and victimization exist. Yet I tell you this:
outward manifestation is part of the inward journey of  all entities and cannot be
fully explained or understood in human terms because of the limitations of the
current human perspective. Yet this perspective can shift. And it will. All the human
race needs is one more Shifter here and there, one more person committed to the
Change that will Change Everything.
The One Soul then inspired me to write this:
Let me see if I can give you a speck of an insight into a much higher and far more
complex truth than what you may have previously considered. Have you ever d one
something for yourself or for another or for a cause that looked like it hurt or
damaged you in some way —but you did it anyway, for the larger good?  I thought about that for a while. I remembered things I have done for myself that “looked
like” they hu rt or damaged me, but that really, in


 chapters, half measures w ill avail you nothing. You are at the
point where you must ask God for guidance. These are the steps, which are suggested
as a method of spiritual recovery:
1. Accept the fact that you are afflicted with a symptom (malignant cancer) and
that recovery is possible.
2. Establish a faith in a power greater than yourself and know that with His help
you can regain health and harmony.
3. Make the decision to turn your w ill and your life over to the care of God.
4. Conduct a complete self-analysis to better understand your own emotions.
5. Admit to God, to yourself, and to others the exact nature of what you find to
be your shortcomings.
6. Be willing to give up what you are doing wrong.
7. Seek through prayer to improve your conscious contact with God. Pray only
for knowledge of His w ill for you and the strength to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of this action, practice these principles
in your every thought. Just as the body must be purged and cleansed, so must the
emotions and spirit be purified. This is a comparatively simple task to accomplish, but
do not lull yourself into believing that it is an easy task. Rigorous self-discipline and
the ability to grasp and develop a manner of living with complete honesty in all of
your actions and thought are necessary. You must become strong willed to be a
winner in accomplishing that which you set out to do for yourself. You w ill look for
all the good in everything and refuse to accept any negation.

B ody Detoxification
Before any disease can be cured,
th e  w aste p ro d u cts and im p u ritie s  m ust be cleansed fro m  th e  body.
The sooner th is is done, th e  sooner th e  b o dy can begin re p a irin g  itself.
Body Detoxification
In reality, a person very rarely dies of cancer. It is always starvation and toxicity. As
the malignant tumor grows it gives off waste products, which must be eliminated
through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. These waste products accumulate
and gradually overburden the body. Most persons then die of toxemia.
Before any disease can be cured, the waste products and impurities must be
cleansed from the body. The sooner this is done, the sooner the body can begin
repairing itself.
Dr. Kelley recommends that you begin the detoxification process even before you
have the nutritional supplements in your possession. It is absolutely imperative that
the patient carefully follows the detoxification process after the supplements begin
stimulating the release of wastes and debris.
Scientists have calculated that a person has between 70 and 100 trillion cells in his
or her body. This means we have over 70 trillion "garbage cans" needing to be
emptied. In our culture we have not made allowances for, nor taught ourselves, the
proper techniques of emptying these waste receptacles. It is no wonder that the
people of our nation are so sick! Proper and thorough detoxification is just as
important as good nutrition for anyone who has lived in the mainstream of a modern
technological civilization for 10 or more years, and especially for anyone who has
developed symptoms of a chronic degenerative disease.
The intensive program of concentrated nutrients outlined in this book w ill begin to
make nutritional factors available to the cells, which they may not have had for many
years. Consequently, cellular metabolism will speed up and an increased amount of
metabolic waste will be dumped into the bloodstream. Most people's organs of
elimination do not function well enough to handle this increase in waste. If it
accumulates in the bloodstream, one w ill not feel well and the cells will not be able
to utilize the fresh nutrients being provided by the nutritional program.
84
Winning The Cancer War
When one eats food, it is digested in the mouth, stomach, and intestinal tract. In
the intestinal tract, the digested food is absorbed into the bloodstream, which takes it
close to each individual cell. The food, along with oxygen, is transferred into the cell.
In the cell, nutrients are metabolized into energy, carbon dioxide, water, and waste
products of metabolism. It is the accumulation of these wastes, which frequently
interferes with normal functions of the cells.
Principal factors necessary for a pure bloodstream are pure air, pure water, pure
food, and the presence of oxygen brought in by exercise appropriate to your
cardiovascular capacity.
As the cells produce metabolic debris, the blood carries it to the organs of
detoxification. These organs are the liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, many of the mucous
membranes, and the colon. If these organs of detoxification are themselves filled with
debris, they of course cannot accept any more toxins. In such a case, the blood
cannot accept further debris from the cells and, before long, there are 70 to 100
trillion garbage cans completely full.
It is like the city dump being filled to capacity and not accepting any more garbage
trucks. Then one's home becomes overloaded with garbage, which shortly interferes
with normal functions of one's household. Before long, the entire community has
become bogged down. "Clean blood" then, acting as a highway for the garbage
trucks, is dependent upon the organs of detoxification.
The Master Gland of Detoxification
The liver is the major organ of detoxification, and also the most stressed by our
modern lifestyle. One cannot live long without the heart, brain, kidneys, or pancreas,
yet it is proper liver function, which prevents these organs from becoming diseased.
Here, in addition to metabolic wastes, is where environmental contamination, food
additives, and all other chemical pollutants are removed from the body.
You should be just as much or more concerned about the condition of your liver as
about the condition of your heart. If you have had hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver,
infectious mononucleosis, or other liver damage, you should become very protective
of this vital organ. The intake of anything that places undue stress on the liver should
be eliminated entirely.
Such a list would include: chemicals of any kind; drugs; synthetic foods; artificial
food additives, such as flavorings, colorings, preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers,
sweeteners; alcoholic beverages; carbonated beverages; hair sprays; chemical
deodorants; and reheated vegetable oils used in frying, commercial pastries, and most
fast foods. (Unrefined oils, or butter for sauteing, can be used without creating
85
Winning The Cancer War
peroxides and free radicals, which are toxic to the liver.)
Major functions of this incredibly complex organ include:
• Metabolizing essential fats (cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoproteins) and thus
preventing their accumulation in the bloodstream where they often form
deposits on blood vessel walls (atherosclerosis).
• Synthesizing the bulk of necessary blood proteins.
• Breaking down and eliminating most drugs and environmental poisons.
• Secreting a fluid (bile) which stores in the gall bladder or the enlarged bile duct
and empties into the small intestine.
The bile acts as a carrier for all liver wastes. It is also essential for the proper
digestion and assimilation of fats and all fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E,
K, lecithin, and essential fatty acids. The gall bladder is a hollow muscular organ
which stores and concentrates bile and is attached to the undersurface of the liver.
When a meal is eaten, especially if it contains some fats or oils, the gall bladder is
stimulated to contract and should freely expel its contents into the small intestine to
emulsify fatty nutrients for proper absorption, and to allow poisonous wastes which
the liver has removed from the body to be eliminated through the intestines.
Liver Congestion
Many people living in our society today, even those in their teens, fail to have free,
unobstructed flow of bile from the liver and gall bladder in response to food entering
the small intestine. Eating refined or processed foods, eating fresh food which is
mineral deficient because it is grown on depleted or chemically treated soil, lack of
regular vigorous exercise, stress, multiple distractions during meals, and many other
unnatural aspects of our lifestyle have combined to alter the chemistry of bile so that
formation of solid particles from bile components is a commonplace occurrence
among Americans.
These solid particles remain in the gall bladder or the base of the liver for many
years and become progressively harder, sometimes calcifying into "gallstones." Long
before this occurs, however, metabolic problems are under way. When a significant
number of solid bile particles accumulate, the free flow of the gallbladder is
diminished, causing progressive stagnation and congestion of the liver. The body
begins to suffer the effects of poor assimilation of fat-soluble nutrients, which
