our experience of life.  You are receiving the message from your spirit that it /G0D/G0F /G06/G01/G02/G0F/G01/G06/G01/G03/G19/G05/G06 – that no longer will you be swayed
by the energies and conditions of  others.  That your feet are
firmly planted in the ground of  Mother Earth, and your heart
is connected to a constant stream of Source energy.  This is the
ease of living that is cosmic wealth.  This wealth is your
birthright.  But even more, it is  your divine right.  As with
anything, you have to exerci se choice to experience it.
The time is coming in your  Earth’s atmosphere where the
lighter energies of transparenc y, truth, and supreme goodness
will come back into the hearts of those living upon the earth, and in the core Earth herself.  The job for each of you is to allow
the choice of your divine birthr ight, or to resist it.  It is a
choice, for choice-full expansion.
Denser energetic vibrations have been a more dominant
vibration on your earth plane – clouding over the light of
truth.  Seekers have looked beyond the clouds to the truth
of the blazing sun and its light -filled potentialities.  Others
have seen the clouds, and lost their will to search.  That is a /G15/G07/G16/G0F/G02/G13/G01/G17/G04/G12/G0C/G10/G0B

There is tremendous choice in the world today.  Even greater
opportunities are coming in the expansive energies, pouring
into the atmosphere at a ra pid non-physical rate.
Whether people see, or don’t see, these energies, their effects
will show up steadily in their lives.  The veil between the
physical and non-physical is be coming paper thin in this
environment.  If those with on ly outer vision do not see the
non-physical, their experiences will undeniably call attention
/G0C/G01 /G06/G01/G02/G05/G06/G0C/G07/G0C/G2B physical.  There is less delay in manifestations now.
This will allow a more direct experience of transparency, even  if it cannot yet be “seen” by some.
Through experience, truth will set many free.  For out of
darkness, always, all will rise to the light.  Darkness, as we
have said, is a pure illusion.  Light is always light.  With light
as a foundation, even under co untless layers of darkness, there
will always be – light.
The concept of cosmic wealth, from a Source perspective, is
allowing the flow and experience of this Source light in as
many ways as possible in your lives.  You will find that the work of “attracting” does itself.   When people rise to their
natural buoyant, happy, infinite nature, the rest takes care
of itself.
You summon the physical desire through your intention to
have it.  Easy.  Yo u allow the physical desire through your
inner commitment to feel good and in the flow of Source energy.  That inner commitment  is the root of cosmic
prosperity, for it drives every choice, every day, and every
experience.
Those living in lack, in any area of their lives, simply indicate
an energy block of resi stance.  Blocks of energy feel painful,
because they are area s where Source is not flowing.  If you had
a blocked artery, it is not someth ing that can be ignored.  When
you attend to it, at present – of ten surgically, the goal is to /G1B/G02/G14/G02/G03/G0E/G01/G10/G0B/G04/G01/G1F/G05/G07/G16/G0D/G04/G05/G02/G10/G19/G01/G07/G0A/G01/G12/G01/G3D/G02/G13/G0B/G01/G21/G03/G03/G04 r Life 101

The same principle applies to th e flow of Source within you.
Pain is only an indicator of bl ockage.  There is no shame in
pain.  It is /G08/G07/G0F/G0D/G0B/G0A/G07/G08 /G06/G01/G02/G03/G04/G06/G14/G0F/G1A/G24/G06/G01/G07/G06/G0D/G12/G05/G06/G1A/G07/G12/G09/G06/G05/G0B/G08/G0F/G0C/G04/G03/G07/G0C/G0A
Review your life experience.  The present one.  Allow the
surfacing of things an d inner experiences that do not feel good
to you.  Observe them.  That is a ll.  Take the next step toward
thinking an easier thought or f eeling, that aligns you with
truth, Source, and feeling good.  As it resurfaces in situations
a bit, find that easy feeling again.  Very soon – it will drop out
of your experience.  You no longer vibrationally match the
essence of pain.  Feeling good is a whole light filled vibration –  and it is a “cure” for other denser, competing vibrations.

the vibration steady, which igni tes a potentia l vibrational
experience for the one not fee ling good at the moment.  It
can be an effortless exchange –  one in which both benefit.
The Source energy field is one that will likely not be
understood from a human lens for some time.  It is a concept
and truth of limitless belief, appreciation, and immense creative
power.  The way to understand it is  to relax into the experience
of it.  Knowing it is the same as believing it.  From its
experience, it becomes known to you,  and thus believed by you.
This is the chain of wealth we are talking about.  Allow your
experiences – so long as they feel good, and prosper you.
Feeling good is all the prosperi ty you need.  It vibrates belief,
truth, trust, abundance, allowing, and receiving.  Feeling good
is the simplest definition of Source energy that there is.
To see a pocket of not feelin g good in others and other
circumstances – is when you allo w your true self to choose to
turn toward your inner light and truth, and the knowledge of
what “already is.”  The image of that unfavorable illusion will
shrink and shrink and shrink, ba ck into the cleansed world of
the non-physical.  Focusing on th e light of positive creative  /G15/G07/G16/G0F/G02/G13/G01/G17/G04/G12/G0C/G10/G0B

, which increases the basal metabolic rate,
causing an increased demand for food to support this metabolic activity.
Signs and symptoms—goiter, fine tremor of the extended fingers and tongue,
increased nervousness, weight loss, altered bowel activity, heat intolerance,
excessive sweating, increased heart rate. Inorganic iodine deposits, drugs,
chemicals and congestion create acidosis and stimulation of this gland.
Hyperthyroidism always leads to hypothyroidism or the weakening of the
thyroid gland.
Hypnotics
 powerful nervine relaxants
and sedatives that induce sleep (Wild
Lettuce, Passion Flower, Valerian).
Hypoactive
 1. “Hypo” is Greek for below, beneath or under. 2. underactive
gland or organ. Hypoglycemia abnormally low level of glucose in the blood;
“low blood sugar.”
Hypothalamus
 the area of the brain that contains neurosecretions that are of
importance in the control of certain metabolic activities, such as maintenance
of water balance, sugar and fat metabolism, regulation of body temperature,
secretion of releasing and inhibiting hormones, and the hunger response. It
houses the pituitary gland and is considered the “master switch board.”
Hypothyroidism
 a condition due to deficiency of the thyroid secretion,
resulting in a lowered basal metabolism. Symptoms may include obesity or
difficulty losing weight, dry skin and hair, low blood pressure, slow pulse,
sluggishness of all functions, depressed muscular activity, and depression.
Hypertension
 high blood pressure. Usually defined as a regular resting
pressure of 140/90.
Hypotensives
 used to reduce blood pressure.
Iatrogenic
 literally, “physician induced.” This term can be applied to anymedical condition, disease, or other adverse occurrence that results from
medical treatment.
Immunostimulant
 an agent that stimulates the immune system in a non-
specific manner.
Infection
 invasion of body tissues by disease-causing organisms such as
viruses, protozoa, fungi or bacteria.
Inflammation
 1. tissue reaction to injury; 2. Inflammation is not infection. It
is a reaction of your immune system in your body to an acidic compound or
injury to tissue. The succession of changes that occur in living tissue when it
is injured in any way. The inflamed area undergoes continuous change as the
body repair processes start to heal and replace injured tissue. 3. Inflammation
is a conservative process modified by whatever produces the reaction, but it
should not be confused with infection; the two are relatively different
conditions, although one may arise from the other. Acidosis is one of the
greatest causes of inflammation. Inflammation is counter-balanced by the
body with steroids, cholesterol, electrolytes and antioxidants.
Infusion
 an herbal tea.
Insulin
 a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the metabolism of
glucose (sugar) in the body. Acts as a carrier through cell membrane walls.
Interferon
 1. a protein produced by the cells in response to viral infection
that prevents viral reproduction and is capable of protecting uninfected cells
from viral infection. Includes alpha, beta, and gamma; 2. a group of proteins
released by white blood cells that combat a virus; 3. a potent immune-
enhancing substance that is produced by the body’s cells to fight off viral
infection and cancer.
Intestinal Flora
 the “friendly” bacteria and other microorganisms normally
present in the intestines that are essential for the digestion and metabolism of
different nutrients and foodstuffs.
In Vitro
 outside a living body and in an artificial environment, like a
laboratory (e.g., in test tubes).
In Vivo
 in a living body of an animal, plant or human, outside of a controlled
environment or laboratory.
Incontinence
 the inability to control urination or defecation.
Indolent
 sluggish; causing little or no pain, slow to heal.
Inferior
 below.Insecticides
 herbs that are used to destroy or repel insects (Black Walnut
Hulls/Leaves, Black Cohosh, Rue, Quassia).
Intercostal
 between the ribs.
Interstitial
 placed or lying between (spaces within an organ or tissue);
around the outside of cells.
Interleukin
 a type of cytokine that enables communication among leukocytes
and other cells active in inflammation or the cell-mediated immune response.
The result is a maximized response to a microorganism or other foreign
antigen.
Intracellular
 within cells.
Irritants
 herbs that produce a greater or lesser degree of vascular excitement
when applied to the epidermis or skin surface (Cascara Sagrada, Kava Kava
resin, Stinging Nettle, Stone Root).
Jaundice
 a condition caused by elevation of bilirubin in the body and
characterized by a yellowing of the skin.
Jejunum
 the second portion of the small intestines (from duodenum to the
ileum). It’s about eight feet long and comprises two-fifths of the small
intestine.
Laxatives
 mild purgatives. Promote bowel movements.
Lesions
 a circumscribed area of pathologically altered tissue; an injury or
wound; a single infected patch in a skin disease.
Lipid
 any one of a group of fats or fat-like substances characterized by their
insolubility in water and sollubility in fat solvents such as alcohol, ether, and
chloroform. The term is descriptive rather than a chemical name such as
protein or carbohydrate. Includes true fats (esters of fatty acids and glycerol);
lipoids (phospholipids, cere-brosides, waxes); and sterols (cholesterol,
ergosterol).
Lipotropic
 promoting the flow of lipids to and from the liver.
Lithotriptics
 dissolves or discharges urinary and biliary concretion (like
kidney stones). Helps dissolve calculi within the body. (Bitter Root, Butcher’s
Broom, Cleavers).
Local Anesthetics
 herbs that produce loss of sensation (anesthesia) when
applied locally to a surface (Caraway Oil, Coca, Kava Kava).
Lymph
 fluid contained in lymphatic vessels, that flows through the lymphaticsystem to be returned to the blood. The lymph is to the immune cells what
blood serum is to red blood cells. Lymph cleans itself through the kidneys,
colon and skin.
Lymphatic System
 that system including all structures involved in the
conveyance of lymph from the tissues to the bloodstream. It includes the
lymph capillaries, lacteals, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and main lymph
ducts (thoracic and right lymphatic duct).
Lymph Nodes
 organs located in the lymphatic vessels that act as filters,
trapping and removing foreign materials. They also form lymphocytes, which
are immune cells that develop the capacity to seek out and destroy specific
foreign agents. Lymph nodes are like septic tanks that hold and neutralize
toxins and foreign proteins by immune cells and/or enzymes.
Lymphocyte
 a type of white blood cell found in lymph, blood, and other
specialized tissues, such as the bone marrow and tonsils. There are several
different categories of lymphocytes, designated B-lymphocytes, T-
lymphocytes, and null (or non-B, non-T) lymphocytes. These cells are crucial
components of the immune system. B-lymphocytes are primarily responsible
for antibody production, whereas the T-lymphocytes are involved in the
direct attack against invading organisms. It is the T-helper cell, a subtype of
T-lymphocyte, that is the primary cell infected and destroyed by human
immuno-deficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS (man made).
Kidneys
 a pair of organs sitting at the back of the abdominal cavity that form
urine from blood plasma. Each kidney’s more than one million small filtering
units (called glomeruli) process chemical wastes and excess water in the
body, which produces urine. They are the major regulators of the water and
electrolytes, and maintain the acid-base content of the blood and body fluids.
The kidneys are one of the body’s four eliminative organs. Lack of proper
elimination means a stagnant lymphatic system.
Kupffer’s Cells
 About 50 percent of all macrophages are found in the liver
as Kupffer cells.
Macrophages
 1. a monocyte that has left the circulation and settled and
matured in a tissue; 2. Along with neutrophils, macrophages are the major
phagocytic cells of the immune system. They have the ability to recognize
and ingest all foreign antigens through receptors on the surface of their cell
membranes; these antigens are then destroyed by lysosomes. Their placement
in the peripheral lymphoid tissues enables macrophages to serve as the major
scavengers of the blood, clearing it of abnormal or old cells and cellulardebris as well as pathogenic organisms. 3. They also serve a vital role by
processing antigens and presenting them to T cells, activating the specific
immune response. They also release many chemical mediators that are
involved in the body’s defenses, including interleukin-1 and complement.
Malabsorption
 nutritionally, an inability to absorb nutrients from the
intestinal tract into the bloodstream. Primarily due to impactions,
inflamm


 OR CRITICIZES  YOU,
BUT  YOURSELVES.
Let Me say something  else—this  is so Magnificent!  Hu-
man  Beings  who  criticize,  condemn,  judge  or release  any
of those  qualities,  are criticizing  and  condemning  them-
selves  because  they  are Life.  They  are condemning  Life,
which  has never  offered  them  anything  but Good!  Oh,  that
mankind,  wayward  mankind,  would  understand  these
Simple  Activities  of Life;  and  then  give  the necessary  obe-
dience,  to allow  all mistakes  to be erased  from  Individuals'
worlds  forever!
In the Fulness  of all you  hold  dear,  remember  Precious
People,  first  there  is the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence
of all Life,  as you  observe  It on the Chart!  Don't  you  see
you are a Part  of That  Great  Perfection?  You  cannot  be
deprived  of It, if you will  give  It attention.  Then  realize  the
Imperative  Demand  of Life;  not the demand  of someone,
but the Imperative  Demand  of Life,  so you  no longer  re-
qualify  Its Great  Pure  Energy,  as It is flowing  into  your
body  and  out into  your  world.  By understanding  the im-
perative  need  of doing  it, you will  allow  That  Energy  to go
forth  in Its Natural  Practical  Activity;  to produce  Health,
Happiness  and the Limitless  Supply  of everything  you need,
for use in your  world. 296 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
It is the most  Practical  Law  in all the Universe!  There  is
nothing  in the physical  world  today  in mechanics  or any-
thing  else,  which  is so practical  as This  Law  of Life  when
understood;  to produce  dynamic,  definite,  certain,  All-
powerful  Results!  IT CANNOT  FAIL  AND  NEVER
DID!  I WANT  YOU  TO  UNDERSTAND  THAT,  BE-
LOVED  PEOPLE!  Your  Application,  if you  are honest,
sincere  and determined  cannot  fail!  It never  did!  If it seems
to, it is only  because  some  quality  is still acting  in your  feel-
ing world,  of which  you  are unaware;  or you  are continu-
ing to accept  the appearance.
Let Me make  just one illustration  and  that  is concerning
money  supply.  I have  watched  among  the students,  a few
Individuals  who  make  the Call  dynamically  and  earnestly,
and ten minutes  after,  will  begin  to accept  in their  feeling
world  as true,  the appearance  of their  financial  limitation.
You cannot  have  Results  and do that,  not in the Quick  Full
Manner  you would  like  to have.  Of course,  as you continue
to call,  it will  beat  down  human  feeling.  Stand  guard  over
your  feeling,  when  you have  made  your  Dynamic  Applica-
tion for your  money  supply;  and  the moment  any  slightest
feeling  of doubt  or discord  starts,  stop  it and say: "Stop!  Not
one thing  is going  to generate  here,  to interfere  with  This
Call!  My Presence  is the Authority  and Power  in my world!
Don't  you attempt  to interfere"!  Then,  you will  govern  the
feeling  within  yourself,  as sure  as "I AM"  telling  you,  and
you must  do it! Then,  after  awhile,  when  you  make  your
Application  human  feeling  will  not be there  to act! DISCOURSE  XXII  297
Take  the Messenger  for illustration.  Blessed  People,  you
will never  know,  what  He went  thru  in those  earlier  years.
Even  when  Beloved  Saint  Germain  sent  them  forth  to give
out This  Work,  still  some  doubts  and  fears  were  in Him.
When  He understood  how  to silence  that  feeling  with  an
iron grip,  and  make  it be still;  in a short  time,  it was  no
longer  there  to act. Today,  when  He issues  a Decree,  He
knows  there  is no opposition,  and  of course  the answer  is
there!  The  answer  is within  the Call!
We saw  him  reading  a letter  last night,  or this morning
about  2:00  o'clock,  and  a blessed  one had made  the Call  for
help.  The  letter  stated:  "You  did not answer  my letter,  and
yet the Healing  was  Complete."  Beloved  Ones,  if you were
to understand  and  realize  the thousands  of answers,  In-
stantaneous  Healings  of conditions  and  bodies;  and  all the
limitations  of mankind—which  are released  at His  Call,
you would  know,  that  you too, can do the same  thing.  Only
He has gained  the Full  Confidence  in His Call  to the Pres-
ence,  which  no longer  allows  requalification  to act upon  the
energy  as He calls  It forth.  You  can do the same  and  you
must  do it; because  you must  make  your  own  Application.
You are the one in your  world  who  must  take  the initia-
tive. Then,  whatever  assistance  can  be given  is well  and
good;  but REMEMBER,  NO  ONE  CAN  TAKE  YOUR
PLACE  IN YOUR  WORLD.  You  must  be firm,  deter-
mined  and  dynamic  in YOUR  APPLICATION—espe-
cially  at first;  until  you  break  down  the human  creations,
which  have  pressed  upon  you  and  limited  you,  as you  un-298 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
derstand  it, thru  this  embodiment.  Remember,  there  can-
not be any  effect  in your  world,  without  a cause  for it!
EVERY  CAUSE  IS FIRST  IN THE  FEELING  WORLD,
BEFORE  IT CAN  OUT-PICTURE  IN THE  PHYSICAL
BODY  OR IN YOUR  WORLD  OF ACTION.  Therefore,
if the cause  of limitations  and  discord  is removed,  then
there  is nothing  left to interrupt  This  Great  Pure  Mighty
Energy  of the Presence  as It flows  forth!
Beloved  Ones,  is there  any  one  of you  who  doubts  the
Reality  of the Eye  Picture,  which  the Chart  represents  to
you;  that  your  Presence  is really  there  above  you—the  Pres-
ence  of ALL  Life ? Let Us show  you the proof,  Dear  Hearts!
Take  a human  form  which  an hour  ago  was  so happy,
energetic,  filled  with  Light,  Buoyancy  and  Power.  When
Life has withdrawn,  the body  lies there  helpless.  All the
organs,  all the faculties  which  were  acting  are there  still,
but the body  is helpless!  Then  where  was  that  Intelligence,
power,  substance,  energy,  and  activity,  which  was  acting
thru that  body ? Right  there  in the Stream  of Life  and  En-
ergy from  the Presence  of ALL  Life.  When  It withdrew,
the body  was  helpless.  Then  everything  which  ever  acted
thru that  form,  all the Power,  Intelligence  or whatever  it
might  have  been,  was  the Power  and  the qualities,  which
came  thru  the Stream  of Life  beating  each  human  Heart.
You cannot  deny  that!  There  is not a human  Being  on
the face  of This  Earth  who  can deny  it. There  was  a Pres-
ence  of Life  which  was  in that  form  which  is no longer  ac-
tive. The  Presence  of Life  was


 my energy. Age is not toxic! I am  ageless!” Keep in
mind always that w hatever the mind tells the flesh, that
is exactly what the flesh is going to believe and act upon.
Your m ind influences flesh. Y ou must l et your mind make
decisions for your body, because if your body rules yourmind, you face a life of misery and slavery!
Drugs Control Addict’s Mind!
The “drug addict” is the extreme example of the body
ruling the mind! This is why the world is over-populatedwith drug addicts. The body’s craving for drugs is forcingthe mind to command the body to commit crimes of
violence for money so that it may satisfy the body with
the drugs it craves. This is why the world is becomingcrime riddled by drug addicts.
We maintain most of our bad habits simply because our
minds are enslaved by our bodies. This applies also to alcohol,coffee, nicotine and other stimulants. The body rules by the
false philosophy of “ Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we
die”. You don’t die tomorrow, but if you continue to live
by this wrong philosophy,
5, 10, 20 years later you will
burden your family, friends, and yourself with a sick,
prematurely aged body that will torment you daily!
Remember always that you are punished by your bad
habits of living. Not for them, but by them! That is Mother
Nature’s Eternal Law. Sickness, aches, pains and physical
suffering are ills that you are responsible for personally.
You committed the crimes against your body because you
did not use your God-given reason and intelligence to rule
your body with your mind and live by natural laws.206
Before you speak, always ask yourself – Is it good? Is it kind? Is it necessary?A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body
What has your mind to do with health and long life?
Far more than the majority of men and women realize!
Think of your thoughts as powerful magnets, as entities
which have the ability to attract or repel, according tothe way they are used. A majority of people lean either
to the positive or the negative side mentally. The positive
phase is constructive and goes for success and positiveachievements, while the negative side of life is destructive,
leading to futility and failure. It’s self- evident it’s to our
advantage to cultivate a positive healthy mental attitude.With patience, persistence and living The Bragg Healthy
Lifestyle this can be accomplished.
There are many negative and destructive forms of
thought which react in every cell in your body. The
strongest is fear, and its child, worry – along with
depression, anxiety, apprehension, jealousy,  ill-will, envy,anger, resentment, vengefulness and self-pity. All of these
negative thoughts bring tension to the body and mind
leading to waste of energy, enervation and also slow orrapid poisoning of the body. Rage, intense fear and shockare very violent and quickly intoxicate the system. Worry
and other destructive emotions act more slowly but, in
the end, have the same destructive effect. Anger andintense fear stop digestive action,  upset the kidneys and
the colon, causing total body upheaval (diarrhea or
constipation, headaches, pains, fever, etc.).
Fear, worry and other destructive habits of thought
muddle the mind! A crystal clear mind is needed to reasonto your best advantage, enabling you to make sound,healthy decisions. An emotionally clouded mind often
makes unwise and unhealthy decisions and might be
unable to reach any positive conclusions at all!
What are the positive healthy mental forces or
expressions? They are the ones that lead to peace of mindand inner relaxation, as opposed to the destructive habitswhich cause a tightening up of the entire system. This
very second, let your mind take over your body.207
Ten Little, Two-Letter Words Of Action To Say Daily:
If it is to be, it is up to me!Let Your Mind Guide You to Health!
In your mind, form an image of the person you want
to be. Now, with Mother Nature’s 9 Doctors as your
helpers, you can make yourself exactly what you want
to be! Believe in the power of positive thinking! Practicethought substitution. Never ever let a negative thought
take over your mind. In this way, you set your own

so thoroughly that if any weak, fearful relatives or friends
tell you that fasting is starvation and that only harmcan come from your health program... you can let
their remarks slide out of your mind like water off a
duck’s back. You should feel sorry for these uninformed,fearful people because you will live to see many of them
suffer and go to an early grave long before their time.
Mind – Soul – Body Miracle Rewards with Fasting:
• Each time you fast, your mind becomes stronger, more
positive and peaceful.
• Each time you fast, you will continue to eliminate
fear, worry and other negative emotions.
• Fasting helps you spiritually. That is why Jesus, His
followers and other spiritual leaders were fasters.
• Fasting elevates the soul, the mind and the body. What
greater miracle rewards can you desire in life?
By fasting, you can create the person you have always
desired to be. That is, you can if you faithfully pursue
and seek only the best that life can offer!
Only when the body and mind are in harmony will
there be opportunity for proper spiritual development;never forget that the spiritual man comes first, the
mental is second and the physical is third. Only whenthe second and third aspects are in harmony can there
be a proper balanced spiritual life!208
Slow Me Down Lord
Slow me down Lord and fill me with your love.
Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Quiet my hurried pace with a vision of eternal time.
Give me, amid the confusion of the day,
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing
music of the singing streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical, restoring power of sound sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations or slowing down
to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog,
to read a few lines from a good book.
Slow me down Lord and inspire me to send my roots deep
into the soil of life’s enduring values, so that I may
grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.Inner Spiritual Harmony is Important
Spirituality depends far more on proper harmony of
the rest of the man than is generally thought. We all have
this power to create inner harmony through understanding
the relationship of the body, mind and soul.
Use your mind to help you attain your desires by
developing a constructive philosophy of life. Think
constructively about health. Know the requirements andrules of healthy living and employ your determination,
mind and willpower to live accordingly and to continue
to do so. Health in soul, mind and body will be yours.Join hands with God and Mother Nature in making
yourself a truly balanced, healthy  living trinity.
Fasting and The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle can take you
to the heights of true living that few experience on thisearth. Let your mind take control of your body this
instant. New doors will open for you. You will be livingin the light. Light is life, so let in the brightness of the
light of a good and healthy life today and forever!209
Is this not the fast I choose to loosen the bonds of wrongs and
evil, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed
go free and to break every yoke? – Isaiah 58:6I humbled my soul with fasting. – Psalm 69:10

Spiritual Aspects of Fasting
As a crusader for the many miracle benefits of fasting
for over 70 years, it is gratifying to see the increased
interest among scientists that’s developed these past
decades. Not only have health professionals rediscovered
fasting as Mother Nature’s primary method of healingand preventing sickness, but there’s also a reawakening
to the importance of fasting in spiritual growth.
My own regular program of fasting, as outlined in
this book, is one of the main reasons that for my longlife! I’m blessed to see the fruition of our world health
outreach to help make the world healthier. I am alertand ageless in body, mind and spirit as I approach the
century mark. See Web: walford.com  and ucla.edu
During the first three quarters of the
20th century, I
saw the world becoming more complex, chaotic and
unhealthy. Most humans are feeling alienated, lost and
confused. Most people are groping for stability in body,
mind and soul in their hectic personal and business life.
In time of deep trouble, our natural instincts lead us
back to the fundamentals of Mother Nature’s NaturalLaws. This return is usually made with knowledge gainedfrom hard-learned lessons. Fasting as the means of
purifying and healing body, mind and spirit is instinctive
with animals, infants and among many cultures. Nowwe are beginning to learn the power of this simple,
natural method. More books and articles are appearing
that show the spiritual and physical benefits of fasting.210
If the stomach is


 the most and best you can be, is the result of
such a wrong solution.
Using such evasive tactics you do not experience life at its fullest.
By withdrawin g from pain, you withdraw from happiness and, most
of all, you withdraw from experience. At one time or another—and
you may never remember the conscious declaration of intent—you
withdrew from living, loving, and experiencing—from everything
that makes life rich and rewarding. The result is that your intuitive
powers are dulled together with your creative faculties. You only
function to a fraction of your potential. The damage you haveinicted upon yourself with this pseudo-solution, and go on
inicting upon  yourself as long as you adhere to it, is one that
eludes your comprehension and evaluation at the present time.
Isolation
Since this was your defense against unhappiness to begin  with, it
is understandable that unconsciously you ght tooth and nail
against giving up what seem s to you a vital protection. You do not
realize that not only do you miss out on life’s richness, life’s
rewards, your own full potential, but you do not really avoid
unhappiness. This painful isolation was not willingly chosen by you
and therefore it is not accepted as a price to be paid. Rather, it came
as a necessary byproduct of your pseudo-solution, and with this
defense mecha nism at work the child in you hopes and ghts for
receiving what you cannot possibly receive. In other words,
somewhere deep inside, you hope and believe that it is possible to
belong and to be loved while you dull your world of feeling into a
state of numbness and thereby prohibit yourself from truly loving
others. Yes, you may need others and this need may appear as love
to you, but now you know that it is not the same. Inside, you hope
and believe it possible to unite with others, to communicate in a
rewarding and satisfying way with the world around you, while you
put up a wall of false protection against the impact of emotional
experience. If and when you cannot help but feel, you are busy
hiding such feelings from yourself and others. How can you receive
what you yearn for—love, belonging, communication—if you
neither feel nor express the occasional glimpses of feelin gs that the
still healthy part in you strives for? You cannot have it both ways,
though the child in you never wants to accept that.
Since you “protect” yourself  in this foolish manner, you isolate
yourself, which  means exposing yourself much more to that which
you strive to avoid. Hence you miss out doubly: You do not avoid
that which you fear—not really and not in the long run—and you
miss out on all you could have if you would not run away fromliving. For living and feeling are one. The love and fulllment you
must increasingly crave for makes you blame others, circumstances,
the fates, or bad luck, instead of seeing how you are responsible for
it. You resist such insight because you sense that the moment you
see it fully, you will have to change, and you can no longer cling to
the comfortable but unrealiz able hope that you can have what you
want without meeting the necessary conditions to get it. If you want
happiness you must be willin g to give it. How can you give it, if you
are unwilling and unable to feel as much as you are capable of
feeling? Realize that it is you who caused this state of unfulllment,
and it is you who can still change it, regardless of your physical age.
The Need to Exercise the Emotions
Another reason for resorting to this unsuccessful pseudo -solution
is the following: As in everything else, feeling and emotional
expression can be mature and constructive or immature and
destructive. As a child you possessed an immature body and mind
and therefore, quite natural ly, an immature emotional  structure.
Most of you gave your body and mind a chance to grow out of the
immaturity and to reach a certain physical and mental maturity. Let
me give you an example on the physical level: An infant will feel the
strong urge to use its vocal cords. It has an instinct with the function
of prom oting the growth of certain organic matter through strong
use of the vocal cords. It is not pleasant to hear a baby screaming,
but this period of transition leads to strong healthy organs in this
particular aspect. For the baby, not going through this unpleasant
time by suppressing the instinctual urge to scream would eventually
damage and weaken the respective organs. The urge to indulge in
strong physical exercise has the same function. All this is part of the
growing proce ss. To stop the growing process with the excuse that
there is a danger in overexertion would be foolish and damaging.
Yet this is done with your emotional self. You stop its functioning
because you consider the growing transitional period so dangerous
that you proceed to stop growth altogether. You not only hinderexcesses as a result of this reasoning, but you also hinder all the
transitory functioning that alone can lead to constructive, mature
emotions. Since this is more or less the case with every one of you,
the growth period of experiencing and maturing has to happen now.
When your mental processe s mature, you have to go through
transition periods too. You not only learn, you are also bound to
make mistake s. In your younger years you often hold opinions
which you later grow out of. While later you perceive that these
opinions are not as “right” as they seemed to you during your youth
and see another side that earlier eluded you, it was nevertheless
benecial for you to go through those times of error. How could you
appreciate truth if you had not gone through error? You can never
gain truth by avoiding error. It strengthens your mental faculties,
your logic, as well as your range and power of deduction. Without
being allowed to make mistakes in your thinking or your opinions,
your mental faculties could not grow.
Strangely enough, there is much less resistance in human nature
to the necessa ry growing pains of the physical and ment al sides of
the personality than to the growth of the emotional nature. Hardly
anyone recognizes that emotional growing pains are necessary too,
and that they are constructive and benecial. Without consciously
thinking about it in these terms, you believe that the emotional
growth process should come about without growing pains. Most of
the time it is completely ignored that this area exists at all, let alone
that it needs growth; neither do you know how such growth is to be
accomplished. You who are on this path ought to begin to
understand this. If you do, your insistence on remaining deadened
and dulled will nally give way and you will no longer object to
going through a period of growth now.
Allowing Immature Feelings to Surface
In this growing period, immature emotions have to express
themselves. Only as they are allowed expression for the purpose of
understanding their signicance will you nally reach a point whenyou no longer need such immature emotions. This will not happen
through a process of will, an outer mental decision which represses
what is still a part of your emotional being, but through an organic
process of emotional growth wherein feelings will naturally change
their direction, their aim, their intensity, their nature. But this can
only be done if you experience your emotions as they exist in you
now.
When you were hurt as a child, your reactions were anger,
resentment, hate—sometimes to a very strong degree. If you prevent
yourself now from consciou sly experiencing these emotions, you
will not get rid of them; you will not enable healt hy mature
emotions to follow in their place, but you will simply repress
existing feelings. You will bury them and deceive yourself that you
do not feel what you actually still feel. Since you dull your capacity
to feel, you become unaware of what exists underneath. Then you
superimpose feelings that you think you ought to have but that you
do not really and truly have.
You all operate—some more, some less—with feelings that are not
genuinely yours, with feelings you think you ought to have but do
not have. Underneath, something entirely dierent is taking place.
Only in times of extreme crisis do these actual feelings reach the
surface. Then you believe it is the crisis that has caused these
reactions in you. No: the crisis reactivated the still immature
emotions. It is the eect of the hidden emotional immaturity, as
well as of the existing self-deception.
The fact that you put raw, destructive, immature emotion s out of
sight instead of growing out of them and then deceive yourself,
believing you are a much more integrated and mature person than
you actually are, is not only a self-deception, but it also leads you
more deeply into isolation, unhappiness, alienation from yourself,
and unsuccessful, unrewarding patterns that you repeat over and
over again. The result of all this seems to conrm your pseudo-
solution, your defense mechanism, but this is a very misleading
conclusion.
Immature emotions earned you punishment as a child; either they
caused you actual pain, or produced an undesired result when youexpressed them. You lost something you wanted, such as the
aection of certain people, or a desired goal became unattain


 of rejection, of hurting others’ feelings, or of being
perceived as unkind. Release these thoughts and beliefs from your
mind and experience the freedom to express truthfully.
The more we work with letting go of people pleasing, we actually
see that it is valuable for us to extend the truth inside of us and that really
nothing’ s going to come down on us, the sky isn’t going to cave and fall
in on us. It’s quite the opposite. We get a lot of opportunities on a daily
basis to be vigilant around people pleasing and to allow the Holy Spirit
to help us navigate our mind and the world around us. The more we
communicate truly, the more we attract true communication toward us,
and that is what leads us to an experience that turns fear into freedom.
The Delight of Authentic Sharing
Rather than living in fear of the possible reactions of others, we become
authentic and stay in integrity with the truth. We extend the love and the
happiness. We are empowered by love. From that clarity, the directioncan only be integrity of mind, where everything we desire is in
alignment with God, with our right-mindedness.
Living a life of no people pleasing is delightful. Doubt and worry
disappear. It is peaceful; it is harmonious; it is restful. It has all the
strength, the power, and the glory of the universe behind it. There is a
sense of invulnerability and fearlessness. You do not hesitate. It is gentle
too. It is pure light!
This is worth every bit of mind training. It is worth every bit of
meditation. It is worth every bit of darkness that seems to come up in
your face. It is worth it all because the reward is so great: freedom from
worry. You are peaceful when you don’t have a worry or a concern and
the world seems  to rest in peace with you. That is worth every instant of
mind watching. Peace of mind is no small reward, and it is worth going
for with all your heart.Chapter 12
Communication
Learning to live in the moment together with letting go of people
pleasing will have a major impact on the quality of your commu nication
with others. When your purpose  is to align with Spirit, you will find that
many of your experiences and activities will be reordered, renewed, and
refreshed. Healing and commun ication are directly related, as you will
discover.
When we think of communic ation, we usually see it as being
between two people, between two bodies. One form of commun ication is
to feel somebody’ s touch, hug, or caress. Another form of
communication is sitting togeth er having a cup of tea or coffee and a
very intimate talk about your deepest thoughts and feelings. But even
when the other person is not with you, you can communica te. Your
thoughts are powerful, and anytime you think of another person, you
communicate. It’s like prayer. I sometimes tell people who have
someone who’ s not around anymore, “Well, you might as well keep
talking to them because they are still there. You just can’t see them, but
they are still there.” And if you have attack thoughts toward somebody,
you will see that person as the thoughts you have about them. It may feel
like a very foreign idea, but it is within your own thinking that you have
all of your relati onships and your communications. This is why you need
to take great care of what you think and be aware of what  kind of
relationship you have with your thoughts.
The way to an increasing awareness of your thoughts is to pay
attention to the way you feel. Not only will your feelings be the
indicators of where you have let your thoughts go, but your external
relationships will also always reflect what is going on in your thinking.
This is because your powerful mind communicates all the time.The mind is very powerful, and never loses its creative force. It
never sleeps. Every instant it is creating. It is hard to recogni ze
that thought and belief combine into a power surge that can
literally move mountains.
We need to have experiences that show us that we are more than a
body and that we can communicate beyond the body. Sometimes people
will tell me they have a dream where they can fly and experience
freedom. In whatever way is given to us, in whatever way we attract, we
need to have an experience that we are more than a body. There is a lot
of resea rch around near-death experiences and out-of-body experiences
and lots and lots of reports around people who are in comas and
unconscious. If communication were based on the body and certain brain
activity, a coma would seem like a definite break in communication. Yet
over and over, we hear stories of patients who come out of comas and
say things like, “Why did you tell that story about me?” This shows
clearly that communication is not limited to the body. This shows that
we can begin to loosen up from  the idea that we are powerless and go
beyond preconceived limits with our communication. Sometimes we can
even have telepathic experiences. It works more like prayers: you send
out a vibe with your thoughts, then the universe responds to that vibe,
and that is reflected directly in the world around you. This is what I
mean when I say that you communicate all the time.
The more we allow for open and transparent communication, the
more we feel our expansiveness. Therefore, this is a very helpf ul prayer
to the Holy Spirit: “Please show me how to use the body and
communication best to expa nd my perception.” This expanded
perception gives us a feeling of a much stronger connection to everyone
and everything.
Communing with Spirit in Communication
The Holy Spirit uses the body  for only one purpose, and that is as a
communication device to help the mind regain the awareness that true
communication is through Spirit and that true communication is with the
Creator. Becaus e the mind has fallen asleep and believes in separationand bodies, the Spirit has to use what the separated mind believe s in. For
example, you go about your day using words as you speak and maybe as
you write, so the Holy Spirit will guide you through words to train the
mind to come back into true communion. The purpose of Spirit -inspired
communication is to go beyond the interpersonal communication to
communion with the One.
The more you practice this, the more you let Spirit pour through
you and express  through you. You don’t hold back anymore. You start to
have an experien ce of an inner dialogue, as if you are teaching yourself,
as if there is nobody else in the universe but you. There is just one mind,
but that one mind has been forgotten and seems to have fragmented off
into billions of pieces that only know of the little personality self.
In everything you do, let your practice become to see the body and
personality self as your means but never the “end goal.” When the body
and the person are the focus and are given too much attenti on, they
become the end rather than means. Let your mind be the end, your divine
mind, the mind that you truly are, the mind that thinks with God. The
whole purpose of life is to have a connected experience. Let your
intuition take charge. Your ego has been running the show for quite a
while without getting to what you really, truly want. It has been striving
—another goal, improving the body, another relationship—see king and
not finding. Now you can start allowing your mind to be the end and the
body the means  for this end in all your relationships and situations in
life. You can start to see that your body has only one purpose: to be a
communication device that the Spirit can use to expand your perception.
Healing your mind deserves your full attention. If you let the body be
your communication device and if you don’t withhold any
communication, everything channels into one experience.
In trusting and following the Holy Spirit, you are shown a sense of
intimacy and connection that is not dependent on bodies being together.
Why does it sometimes feel so terrible when the bodies go apart?
Separation anxiety happens when you believe that there can be a break in
communication. When you feel located in a body in a particular place in
space, you can feel very, very alone.Exercise: Feel Connected in Y our Communication
When you are ready to begin your next assignment, take your
usual few minutes to calm and quiet your mind. Take several deep
breaths, remembering your healing purpose, and invite the Holy
Spirit to be with you during this process. In this exercise, you are
going to look at fear of communication. When you feel ready to
look within, open your mind to the following steps:
1. Choose a current relationship where you are holding back
from communicating. Write down all the ways you hold
back.
2. Identify situations where you have opportunities to speak
up, share, or connect and still feel you hold back. Write
them down.
3. Are you willing to communicate how you really feel in order
to experience true connection? Write down your immedia te
response. If you notice any resistance or hesitation, be
honest about it and make notes.
4. Journal about the relationship : your thoughts, feelings, and
beliefs about yourself and the other. Don’t leave anything
out of your exploration. Include thoughts about a specific
situation if this comes to mind.
5. Write a list of all the things you


uction more seriously waged
than in the human body. What we call health is but a
condition where the powers of c onstruction are made to excel
the powers of destruction. By correct eating and the pursuit of
natural habits, this condition can be maintained for a great
number of years; but when we aid the forces of destruction by
taking into the body such things as tea, coffee, tobacco,
distilled and ardent spirits, and the host of table condiments
that are in daily use; all of which possess only the elements of
destruction, we must not be disappointed when we find
ourselves devoid of energy and vitality and landed well over
into the great throng of the diseased.
EMANCIPATION OF WOMAN.

IF the study of the natural or elementary food question had for
its object no other purpose than giving to the human family
their birthright of health and years, and aiding their mental
faculties in reaching a higher development, it would be of
sufficient importance to justify the most profound attention of
every woman in a civilized stat e. But when it is considered
that its final solution may not only accomplish this, but
emancipate her from the slavery of the kitchen and the cook
stove, it becomes one of the most important questions that
can possibly engage the minds of intelligent people.
We believe that nature has provided a diet that can be
selected and eaten without changing its form or chemical
properties by the application of either heat or cold, and which
will be perfect. We have proven that if correctly used it will
in all cases bring natural results, which are always healthful
results. We have been led to these conclusions by information
gained from the school of observation and experience at our
own table, as well as by seeing the most obstinate and chronic
diseases gradually disappear from members of our own
family and others under the magic effect of proper feeding,
until perfect health was the result.
Aside from the effect of a natural food diet upon the
health and happiness of people, its most important feature is
that it promises to solve for woman another most perplexing
question, namely, the struggle with the servant.
When the house is provided, and the woman who has
dreamed of a true home is settled therein, it gradually dawns
upon her that instead of being a queen, she is an imprisoned
vassal. She finds that she must stand over a miniature furnace
for an hour in the morning and breathe the poisonous odor of
broiling flesh, and spend another hour among the grease and
slime of pots and dishes, instead of occupying that time
walking in the life-giving sunlight and drinking in nature's
purifying air.
She soon realizes that the fires of the morning are hardly
out until those for the noon are kindled and the labors from
luncheon often lap over into the evening, and those of
evening far into the night. The throne over which she
dreamed of wielding the queenly sceptre has been
transformed into a fiery furnace,  gilded with greasy pots and
plates, blood and bones, over which she has unfurled the
dish-rag, and by the common custom of her country, it waves
over her helpless head as an ensign of her rank and
profession, under which she is really a slave.
The home of which she dreamed has laid upon her a
confinement and labor but little lighter than that which
society puts upon the criminal who has violated its laws, and
whom it has deprived of his liberty.
The picture of a husband and wife growing old together,
walking hand in hand up to the noon of life, and turning over
the hill and marching down toward the evening of old age together is only painted by poe ts and dreamers, most likely
old bachelors and old maids,—it is not true.
The average husband and wife do not grow old together.
The wife spends six or seven hours of each day endeavoring
to prepare food and create dishes that will appeal to and
satisfy the perverted taste a nd appetite of her husband, and
probably the short-notice "friend to dinner." The anxiety and
mental tension that she undergoes from day to day and year to
year wear upon her form and face, and like the long dripping
of water upon the stone, leave their mark. This mark is
nervous exhaustion and premature old age.
It is from this deplorable condition of womankind that
the use of uncooked or natural foods will surely bring relief
and freedom. In hundreds of cases that have come to our
knowledge where this experiment has been honestly tried, it
has resulted in a revolution in the household culinary
department, and in giving the wife enough mental and
physical freedom to allow her to preserve her youthful
charms, which is her solemn duty, and to cultivate those
higher faculties upon which every woman must depend for
attraction and happiness with advancing old age.
It may not free woman wholly from the labors of the
kitchen, but it will prove an important factor in lifting her
mentally, morally and physically into an entirely different
sphere.
It is utterly impossible for a woman to spend six hours
out of twelve in the dense and smoky atmosphere of a kitchen
over a roasting fire, breathing air laden with the fumes of
burning flesh and steaming foods, and give to her progeny
those beautiful faculties which are their birthright, and which
have been the dream of her dreams.
It is also impossible for a woman to construct her body,
her brain and her heart with all their varied sympathies,
desires and emotions out of such material as the flesh of dead
animals, fermented fruit (wine), fermented bread and the
innumerable narcotics and cooke d or devitalized foods with
which the average table is laden, and think beautiful thoughts
and keep her sympathies and senses of justice and mercy in
that beautiful and highly civ ilized realm where the cultivated
and advanced woman, especially the mother,. should dwell.
We are thoroughly convinced,—convinced from
experience, that great school from which all true knowledge
comes,—that the first and most important step in nature
toward making a perfect woman lies in the selection of the
food material out of which the human body and all the
restless flood of emotions that ceaselessly ebb and flow in its
strange mechanism, are made.
THE SELECTION OF FOODS.

IN the adoption of uncooked foods more care in selection is
required than when they are to  be cooked, for in the process
of cooking, mixing and dressing, the real quality, taste and
flavor of the articles, becomes changed, lost and dissipated.
The most inferior articles of food can be cooked and
artificially flavored, as they usually are, and still appeal to
and satisfy the taste.
In all public eating places the special duty of the chef and
steward is to use left-over foods. They are hashed, minced,
flavored, spiced and peppered until the smell from the
fermented or decayed portions is so concealed that they
cannot signal the olfactory nerves; therefore the most inferior
and unhealthy articles can be used which could not be done
were these foods not cooked.
When using uncooked foods the senses of sight, smell
and taste demand the best, and it is only fair that these senses
should be satisfied. It is as criminal to deceive our taste and
sight in matters of food, as it is to obtain money under false
pretense from our friends; and the penalty for this
wrongdoing is more certain to be paid. We often escape
justice in deceiving our friends, but never in deceiving
ourselves. We cannot jump our bail with nature. We are
always caught and punished for two crimes instead of one.
One may be thoroughly convinced that the theory is
correct, but if such articles are selected as do not conform or
appeal to the taste, the effort will prove a failure. Food should
be selected that has ripened on the parent stalk or tree, in the
sunshine, as far as possible. Those who are acquainted with
the curative and life-giving prope rties of air and sunshine will
readily perceive why the selection of thoroughly ripe and full-
grown foods are so necessary.
In selecting an apple of a red variety, get a deep, rich red,
not a pale pink one. The deep red color indicates that the fruit
has ripened on an outer twig of the tree, exposed to the
sunlight; while the paler colors show that it has ripened under
cover of the foliage. This ru le should be observed in the
selection of all fruits and berries, and melons of every kind as
far as possible, the rule being th at whatever color is selected,
get it as pronounced as possible. In other words, get the best.
BANANAS.
Bananas, the second-best article of food known, should
never be eaten so long as a spot of green is visible on the
skin. The majority of people seem to select this most
delicious and nutritious fruit merely to please the eye; and
just when it is at its best, that  is, when the skin is covered
with tiny black spots, or assumes a pied appearance, it is
discarded and considered unfit for use. Where the
consumption of bananas is large enough, they should be
purchased by the bunch,* and where it is not, they should
always be purchased by the hand, not


three different “realities”...
Ultimate Reality
Observed Reality
Distorted Reality
I have come to call this the Triune Reality —three versions of reality existing at one time.
There is Ultimate Reality (what is “so” about what is going on, what is “so” about why  it
is going on, and what is “so” about you), there is Observed Reality (what is readily apparent
right in front of you), and there is Distorted Reality (what you imagine is going on).
Which one of these realities yo u experience in any given moment is up to you. It depends
on what your mind entertains prior to forming a thought.

THE FOURTH CHANGE
WE’RE MOVING VERY FAST  now, and I don’t want you to think that you’re hearing all I have to
say about these changes. There is much  more to say, in fact. I’m just introducing Changes
#2, #3, and #4 right now, to give you an idea of where we’re headed in this conversation.
This is going to be quite a ride, and I want you to have a sense of the terrain.
Really, these three changes are interlinked and, as I said a moment ago, they should be
considered together. So the exploration here is going to be rather free -flowing, as a chat
between friends would be, as opposed to following an outline and being more structured,
as a lecture might be. I trust that you’ll see the close inter linking between Change #2,
Change #3, and Change #4  as we go.
So here, as we lay down the road map, is...
CHANGE #4:
Change your choice of truths
Earlier I said that the event s of your life are created by conditions and occurrences
outside you, but that reality is created by conditions and occurrences inside  you—in your
mind. It is there, I said, that events  are turned into data, which are turned into truths, which
are turned i nto thoughts, which are turned into emotions, which are turned into
experiences, which form your reality.
Now let me put those elements in a straight line, with plus  and equal  signs placed
strategically between them, so that you can have a way to visualize  this. This allows us to
focus in on the process of reality -creation a little more sharply.
As I observe it, that process works like this...
event+data+truth+thought+emotion=experience=reality
I call this the Line of Causality, and I’ll be bringing it i nto our discussion again. This is the
path the mind travels on its way to producing your reality.
You’ll notice that on this line, Emotion comes before Experience, and produces it.
Thought, likewise, comes before Emotion, and gives birth to it. Truth comes  before
Thought, and gives birth to that. And we’ll get to the “Data” part later.
What the line does not show is that there are three kinds  of truth. This is more than a
little important to know, because it is the existence of these three kinds of truth th at leads
to the possibility of a Triune Reality. Put another way, if there were only one kind of truth,
there would be but a single reality.
The three kinds of truth are...  The Actual Truth
The Apparent Truth
The Imagined Truth
In a bit I’m going to exp lain all of this, and I think you’ll find it fascinating. These are
what I have called the Mechanics of the Mind. For right now, know that it’s really as simple
as A -B-C. Each step away from “A” takes you farther from peace.
If peace is what you are search ing for during this moment of change and turmoil in your
life, if peace is that for which you yearn, you will want to journey upward from Imagined
Truth to Apparent Truth to Actual Truth, so that you may shift your basis from Distorted
Reality to Observed Reality to Ultimate Reality.
This is what personal and global transformation is all about. This is what every human
whom we have honored with the name of Master has done. And this is what you can do
right here, right now, on this day.
In your life, has eve rything changed? Then change everything. Start rearranging your
thinking about “reality.” Reality is not static, it is fluid.
(Well, that’s not exactly accurate. It IS static, but our experience  of it changes. And that, of
course, is what this whole book i s about. The exploration here is about how to change your
experience of Change Itself. Or, put another way, how to change your experience of
reality —since Change is the constant  reality.)
I have to tell you, I felt like I’d been awakened out of a sound sleep when I first “got” that
there are three levels of reality, and that we can experience the things that are happening in
our lives at the level of Distortion, the level of Observation, or the level of Ultimate Truth. It
took me a long time to fig ure this out. It took me a long time to notice what I am telling you
here so casually.
I don’t want it to take you as long as it took me. I want you to be able to grasp this now.
First as an intellectual concept, then as a functional tool. You need this to ol now, not ten
years from now, not ten months from now, not ten weeks from now. Not even ten days
from now. You need this tool in your hands now, because now is when you’re moving
through incredible changes.
If someone had told me this stuff in the moment  that I was going through big changes...
what a difference that would have made. So here goes. Let me tell you all of what I’ve
uncovered about this.
Each of these “realities” that I’ve just spoken of is remarkably different from the
others —not a little  bit different, remarkably  different —and the differences between them
arise out of those three brands of truth that I referred to earlier.
One of the biggest surprises of my life was learning that there is no such thing as absolute
truth.
Now that should b e on a billboard somewhere. Heck, everywhere. On every road and
highway there should be a huge sign:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ABSOLUTE TRUTH  Ever caught yourself asking someone, “Are you actually buying  that?” Well, this is about
that. This is about what you “buy into” every day.
When you go into the Supermarket of Life you’ll find Truth packaged in three brands.
You can buy Actual Truth, you can buy Apparent Truth, or you can buy Imagined Truth.
For right now we’re going to pretend that Actual Truth is no t on the shelf. I don’t want to
discuss the actuality  of things just yet. (That’s what part 2  of this book is about.) I just want
to look at Apparent Truth (what we have observed ) and Imagined Truth (what we have
distorted ). On ly when we see these clearly can we understand Actual Truth.
The Apparent Truth is based on what you have observed in the past to be happening
when you saw something similar to what you see in front of you right now. It is what you
think is apparently so, based on your history, about the physical event that is occurring in
the present moment.
Your relationship has ended. Or you got laid off. Or you lost your home. Or someone
close to you has passed on. Or you’ve become an empty nester, with y our children suddenly
no longer in your home after being a huge part of your life for twenty years. Or whatever.
This is what’s going on right now in your physical world. It’s what’s happened. You know
it happened because it is your direct observation. If you stay in your Apparent Truth, you
will be okay, because your Apparent Truth will give you all the facts of a similar experience
you have had in your past. But will you stay there? I mean in your thoughts, will you stay
there? Or will you run to your Ima gined Truth? And, if you embrace your Imagined Truth
rather than the Apparent Truth, will you have the tools with which to return to the
Apparent Truth?
I believe the Nine Changes That Can Change Everything could be those tools. Read on
and see if you agre e.

  we realize that being “out of control” is the ultimate
expression of being “in control.”

DR. COOPER: And why do you say that? (Pause) I’m very, very
curious...

NEALE: What I mean is that I feel more in control of my own life
when I’m out of control of what’ s going on in my exterior world than
in the moments where I thought that I really had a certain level of
control. Becau se when I’m “out of control,” the level of personalcontrol that I have is magnified, in the sense that I am controlling my
individual expe rience so broadly that I can literally be “out of control”
of day-to-day circumstances and events, and not have that condition
of being “out of control” control me.
When I do not allow being “out of control” to control me, I am
then in ultimate control. I get to decide what the exter ior events of life
mean. I become the God of my own Universe.

DR. COOPER: That makes total sense. The moment we maintain
personal contr ol, regardless  of what “out of control” events are
occurring around us, is the moment that nothing can then “throw us
off our game.” We no longer allow fear to hold us back in the creative
expression of our soul’ s agenda.
So perhaps the greatest demonstration of control is to take a
situation that appears “out of our control” and to no longer let it
negatively af fect our internal world.
Is that what you’re saying?

NEALE: Precisely. Not only do we not let it negatively affect our
internal world, we actually cause it to be a magnificent aspect of that
internal world. We say to the part of ourselves that sees the outer
world out of control: “Watch this. Watch me control my experience of
the out-of-control-ness.”
If that isn’t Divinity, I don’t know what is. We are acknowledging
that we have created, collaboratively, the apparent  out-of-control-
ness, producing the perfect Contextual Field within which to
announce and declare, express and experience, become and fulfillthe next grandest version of the greatest vision ever we held about
Who W e Are.

DR. COOPER:  Gosh, you almost make me want to call forth “out-of-
control-ness” in order to experience what you’re talking about right
now. It sounds almost like fun, like a challenge.

NEALE: Well, in fact, most of us do that. We’re just doing it
unconsciously. Why do you suppose we’ve created a world that
seems to be out of control?
It’s not that we don’t have the ability to control it. With the
miracles that humanity has been able to create in technology, in
medicine, in science, even in certain political areas and so forth, and
social areas as well, we have the ability right now to bring certain
areas of our collective experience on Earth under control
immediately. It’s not an accident that we’re not doing that.
It’s not consciously happening, but at some unconscious level
we may very well be using this device specifically as an evolutionary
tool with which to control our expression and experience—an
evolutionary driver, as futurist and visionary Barbara Marx Hubbard
would view it, calling forth, out of necessity, our ability to know
ourselves as Divine within a space that is, presumably, at the human
level, very “unDivine.”
It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention. Yet in order
for us to invent, it is necessar y for us to create necessity. And if what
we want to do is re-invent ourselves —or, if you please, recreate
ourselves anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision
ever we held about Who We Are—we would have to collectivelyproduce circumstances allowing us... indeed, requiring  us... to do
so.
And so, it’s not a surprise to me that humanity has allow ed its
exterior experie nce in the world at large to appear to be totally out of
control. Yet we are now doing this in such a way that, if we are not
careful, we could lose control of our “out-of-control-ness.” This is not
unlike losing control of a controlled fire.
Now that doesn’t mean it has to continue this way forever. I
believe we’re going to go to the next level soon. In the next 50 to 100
years we’re going to go to the level where we allow chaos to
continue to be part of our outward experience, but not at such a level
that it eliminates the possib ility of our outward experience itself
continuing.
The fact that we are now allowing our deliberately, if
unconsciously, created chaos to actually threaten our own ability to
survive in the physical is a simple reflection of our immaturity as a
species. We don’t know how to use the tool. So, in a sense, we’re
like children playing with matches. And the fire we have started is
threatening to get away from us.
But deeply wise and very mature species of sentient beings
have learned how to contain the chaos without retaining the danger
of self-a nnihilation as a result of it—and that’s the direction in which
we are headed now. Such highly evolved beings have learned the art
of Creative Chaos. Not unlike a juggler, who throws plates in the air
deliberately, but never drops one.

DR. COOPER: So, another question... something that I believe
everyone reading this will want to hear your thoughts on, Neale. Itmay just be the most pressing question facing humanity at this time
in our species’ evolution. How hopeful are you that humanity will turn
things around before our planet becomes unsustainable to live on?

NEALE: If we don’t make some very important and significant and
dramatic alterations and changes, it will be without question
impossible for this species to continue in the ways it has been living.
We’re dropping plates all over the place. And it may be almost
impossible for us to continu e living at all in this environment. Too
much broken glass.
So if necessity is the mother of invention, life as we now know
it, in our prese nt environment, will probably be dramatically changed
and altered for the better in the next 40 to 50 years. Indeed, it will
have  to be, if human ity is to continue in its present expression on the
Earth.
I mean, we don’t even have enough water!  They’re already
trying to figure out how to live in California without water. They’re
crying for help.
We use purified, clean wate r out of our taps, that has been
filtered by the city, or some other system, and we wash cars with it.
We take the hose and we wash down our driveway with drinking
water. And we are beginning to realize that we don’t have enough
drinking water to do that.
Right now in California they recently passed a new regulation
that you may not use purified water to wash down your driveway, to
water your lawn, or to clean your car. You may not use purified
drinking water. Go down to the ocean and get some salt water that
you can’t drink. Fair enough. But don’t let us catch you using thewater that people are trying to preserve to drink, because we can no
longer af ford to do that.
That’ s just one of one hund red and fifty areas of life that will
really be dram atically change d in the next half century. I hold out the
hope that significant change s in all of our self-defeating  behaviors
are possible. I observe that maturity and growth in a species are
exponential processes. That is, they don’t proceed along a 1-2-3-4-5
path, they proceed on a 2-4-8-16-32 basis, with that kind of ratio.
We could, in fact, before that fifty-year span is over—in fact,
considerably before that span is over—reach the level of spiritual and
emotional maturity to turn certain behaviors around. To stop
conducting underground nuclear tests, for instance, and other
activities that shift the tectonic plates such that we have earthquakes
someplace every 45 hours.
I’m sitting here now in the state of Oklahoma as I’m talking to
you, and the state government here made a shocking announcement
two weeks ago. The people of Oklahoma, half of them, could hardly
believe it. The state government publicly admitted that two things are
true in Oklahoma.  First, that there has been a 360 percent increase
in the number of shakes, temblors, and earthquakes in Oklahoma in
the past eight years. And second, that the reason  for it is the amount
of fracking and drilling that takes place in Oklahoma as we seek to
harvest the oil beneath the earth.
The State Governor said, in essence, Okay, we get it. WE are
causing the problem. And the government of Texas may be very close
to being able to acknowledge that as well. It’s just a question of what
we are able to look at honestly, to acknowledge in ourselves with
regard to our own behaviors.It’s one thing for the government to acknowledge it, and quite
another thing for the man on the street, the average person, to admit
it. Yet in the next 20 or 30 years


 and in larger quantities. It becomes
more dramatic if o ne does not recognize the other thirst signals of the human body when it needs water for its
energy supply, when in place of drinking water by itself more food is consumed. In stress, the body becomes
dehydrated. The reason we tend to gain weight is one simple fact: we eat to supply the brain with energy for its
constant round-the-clock activity. Ho wever, when food is eaten, only about 20 percent of it reaches the brain. The
rest will gradually become stored if muscle  activity does not use up its allocated portion. With water as a source of
energy, this storage does not happen. Excess water is passed out in the form of urine.
Diet Sodas Can Cause Weight Gain
My observation has been that diet sodas (all variety of manufactured soft drinks are called soda instead of using the
label on the drink), even though containing no appreciable number of calories, are possib ly the cause of more
weight gain in people who resort to taking them to control their weight. One person stands out: A you ng man in his
twenties, about 5' 5" in height. lake most college students, he used to drink regular sodas while under constant
pressur e for completion of his stu dies. He had already gained excess wei ght by the time he graduated.
After graduation, to reduce weight, he began drinking eight cans of diet sodas per day. In about two years, he must
have gained another 30 pounds. He  seemed to get as round as he was tall. His wal k became difficult, and he
seemed to have to swing his hip to take a step. He also drank his diet soda at mealtimes and ate more than his
body needed. He still consumes his diet sodas—he seems to be addicted—and, despite all other efforts, co ntinues
to be overweight.
This paradox in our understanding of the relationship between taking a sweetener that does not directly contribute to
the total calorie intake of the body and weight gain needs explanation. The following is the result of my research into
this enigma. There are many such persons who resort to taking diet sodas and, instead of losing weight, they begin
to gain it. The transcript of a testimonial from Donna Gutkowski, who for years only consumed sodas and steadily
gained weight regardless of anything else she did to shed the excess pounds, will also follow.
In America in 1850, about 13 ounces of sod a were consumed per person per year. In the late 1980s, more than 500
twelve-ounce cans of sod as were consumed per person per yea r.
The 1994 annual report of the beverage industry shows that per-capita consumption of sodas is 49.1 gallons per
year. Of th is amount, 28.2 percent of consumption is the share of different diet sodas. Diet soda consumption is
beginning to decline. Eighty-four percent of all sodas consumed belong to two companies (Coca-Cola 48.2 percent
and Pepsi-Cola 35.9 percent). Of this 84 percent share of market and their different labels manufactured, only 5.5
percent are caffeine-free diet sodas. These figures indicate that a vast number of people are drinking caffeinated
sodas, of which 22 percent consists of diet sodas.
A survey at the campus of Pe nnsylvania State University has shown that some students drank 14 cans of soda a
day. One girl had consumed 37 Cokes in two days. Many admitted they could not live without these soft drinks. If
deprived, these persons would develop withdrawal symptoms, very much like those addicted to other drugs. Boys
Life magazine surveyed its readers and found that eight percent of them drink eight or more sodas a day. The
administrators of one Boy Scout Jamboree had collected 200,000 empty cans for recycling. The Soft Drink
Associa tion surveyed  the use of soft d rinks in hospitals in America and found 85 percent of them serve sodas with
their patients' meals. Research has shown that caffeine is addictive. The media, to placate a beverage industry that
spends vast sums o f money for advertising its products, have come up with a less expressive word to announce the
news. They call it "caffeine dependency."
When consumption of sod as is e ncouraged by society, it is assumed these manufactu red beverages can replace
the needs of the body for water. It is assum ed, just because these beverages co ntain water, the body will beadequately served. This assumption is wrong. This broad-base increase in consumption of mainly caffeine-
containing sodas for ms the background to many of the health problems of our society. Th e mistaken assumption
that all fluids are equivalent to water for the water needs of the human body is the main cause of many of the ills of
the human body, and it is frequently associated with the initial excessiv e gain in weight. To understand the above
statement, we need to recognize some simple principles of anatomy and physiology of the brain that regulate eating
and drinking.
The confusion that all manufactured beverages will  supply the body with its daily water needs, more than any other
cause, is responsible for some of the diseases that we encounter. Gross disfigurement of the body by fat collection
is the initial step in the decline of the human body, and in my opinion is caused by the wrong choice of fluids intake.
Some of these beverages do more damage than others.
Caffeine, one of the main com ponents of most sodas, is a drug. It has addictive properties because of its direct
action on the brain. It also acts o n the kidneys and causes increased urine production. Caffeine has diuretic
properties. It is physiologically a dehydrating agent. This characteristic is t he main reason a person is forced to drink
so many cans of soda every day and never be satisfied. The water does not stay in the body long enough. At the
same time, many persons confuse  their feeling of thirst for water. Thinking they have consumed enough "water" that
is in the soda, they assume they are hungry and begin to eat more than their body's need for food. Thus,
dehydration caused by caff eine-containing sodas, in due time, will cause a gradual gain in weight from overeating as
a direct result of confusion of thirst and hunger sensations.
Caffeine has "pi ck-me-up" properties. It stimulates the brain/body even when a person is exhausted! It seems that
caffeine lowers the threshold of ATP sto ckpile control. Stored ATP i s used up for some functions that would not
normally gain access to  it when there is a set level of reserves.
When sodas contain sugar, at least some of the brain's need for sugar is satisfied. If caffeine is releasing ATP
energy to enhance performance, at least its sugar companion will replenish some of the lost ATP, even if the final
result is a deficit expenditure of ATP b y the brain.
In early 1980s, a new p roduct was introduced into the beverage industry—an artificia l sweetener other than
saccharin. It is called aspartame. Aspa rtame i s 180 times a s sweet a s sugar without any cal orie output. I t is now in
common use because the Food and Drug Administration (PDA)  has deemed it safe to use in place of sug ar. In a
very sho rt period of time, it has been incorporated in over 5000 recipes.
In the intestinal tract, aspartame converts to two highly excitatory neurotransmitter amino acids: aspartate and
phenylalanine, as wel l as methyl  alcohol/formaldehyde —wood  alcohol. It is claimed  the liver renders methyl alcohol
non-toxic. I personally think this claim is made to brush aside voiced objections for commercialization of a
manufactured "food" that has a known  toxic by product.
If caffeine converts ATP to  AMP, a spent energy "ash," aspartate converts GTP e nergy stockpile to GMP. Bo th AMP
and GMP are spent fuels; they cause thirst/hunger to replace the lost fuel stockp iles in the brain cells. Thus, diet
sodas ca use indiscriminate overuse of energy reserves of cells in the brain.
It is a well-recognized, scie ntific fact that spent fuel (AMP) does ca use hunger. Caffeine causes addiction, and
people who consume it on a regular basis should be assumed to be "sodaholics." Hence, caffeinated diet sodas in
sedentary persons must cause weight gain; they indirectly stimulate more food intake because of the brain's forced
use of its energy reserves. Be ar in mind that only som e of the energy value of foods eaten will be used by th e brain.
The rest of the consumed energy will be stored in the form of fat if not used by m uscle activity. This weight gain is
one of many results of diet soda consumption.
The more important reflex that occur s is a brain reaction to sweet taste. The jargon used is "cephalic phase
response." A conditioned  reflex becomes es tablished as a result of life-long exp erience with sweet taste th at is
associated with the introduction of new energy into the body. When sweet taste stim ulates the tongue, the brain
programs the liver to prepare for acceptance of new energy— sugar—from outside. The liver, in turn, stops the
manufacture of sugar from the protein and starch reserves of the body and instead begins to store the metabolic

Wit~ msomn1a, fr~yed nerves and great irritability of temper. The

altho~?h 1t resulted in the disappearance of my cough and catarrhal
cond:t1ons and also of painful sciatica from which 1 had suffered,
n?netheless the cure seemed more unpleasant to me than the
disease. _Th~ final upshot was that after two years of this teratment.
I lost faith m doct?rs an~ began series of ventures on my own,
although much agamst the1r advice.
"I will not prolong this story by giving all the details. Suffice it to
say, t~ere came a momen.t when feeling weak and ill, 1 ·recalled the
text~ In Command V of the Holy Bible, which runs, 'Drink waters of MR. ARMSTRONG AND REVIVAL OF URINE THERAPY : 49
thine own cistern', a text which in its turn, reminded me of the case
of a young girl whose father gave her own urine to drink when she
was suffering from diphtheria with the result that he cured her in
three days. Other cases also came to my mind (jauncjice was one)
which had been cured by the same means. Nor was this all; I
remembered that the doctor had told me that lungs had been
damged, after examining my urine. Thereupon I asked him in my
then innocence: 'If I am losing vital tissues and sugar through my
urine, then why not drink the urine and replace these elements in
that way?' to which he had replied that the organs could not
assimilate dead matter of urine. This, however, as I have proved
since, was nothing but a theoretical fallacy.
"And here to digress for a moment. I grant that it is unwise
dogmatically to assert that any given text of scripture means only
this or that, for other people may read into the Bible some other
interpretation. Nevertheless, I believed and still believe that the texts
1 have quoted, and many others also bear reference to that vital
fluid which is within our bodies; and believing it I acted in
accordance to that belief to find in the end that it proved to be my
physical salvation. Fortified by my faith, in what I thought to be the
courrect interpretation of,the text, 1. fasted for forty-five days on
nothing but urine and tap water ahd this, despite the doctors'
assertion that eleven days without food was the limit to which a
human being could go. I also rubbed urine on my body-a very
important factor in the cure with which I shall deal in Chapter XVII.
1 finally broke my fast and though it gave me no discomfort beyond a
ravenous hunger, I nevertheless ate cautiously for. a time and
continued to drink my own urine, noticing that its changes in
temperature, quantity, taste, etc., depended almost entirely on what
1 ate or drank, and the amount of exercise I took.

Though declared as incurable by Allopathy, Armstrong hAls GENGRENE : 51
cured a number of gangrene patients with urine treatment. So a brief
account of his experiments would certainly be interesting.
Armstrong was first approached by a woman patient of
gangrene in 1920. Her age was 53 years. She had been treated by a
well-known doctor of Bradford who was also a dietician. The
woman suffered from anaemia; her lungs were also badly affected,
one leg was almost dead and patches of different size were visible
on both the legs. The eyes were jaundiced, the colour had become
pale like that of a Eurasian lady. Armstrong was first reluectant to
take up her case as in his opinion she required a treatment of more
than two and half months, but at last, he undertook her treatment.
The experiment was so successful that Armstrong himself was
amazed and came to realize that gangrene was not incurable as
considered generally in Allopathy. The patient fasted on urine and
tap water. In addition, urine was rubbed on her entire body along
with pads on the affected parts. In ten days intestines and kidneys
resumed their regular functions. In the beginning the number of
patches increased but their pain was reduced. Breathing became
regular and easier. Sleep was sounder and the leg become normal in
eighteen days of fasting. The application of urine renovated the skin
so that there was no sign of a single patch.
As soon as the above patient was. discharged after complete
cure, another came in. She was a woman of forty years. Her right
leg was so septic that doctors had advised her to get it out off. The
disease started two years ago with a swelling on the ankle. She tried
various systems and doctors but the disease went from bad to
worse. She was suffering also from constipation, piles, eczema and
sleeplessness. The dead part of the leg had become hollow in places.
In spite of so many troubles, she did not lose heart and agreed to fast
on urine. After the fast on urine for five d·ays her wounds were found
. in the process of healing and the skin was softer. The mouth trouble
disappeared the very next day. After sleeplessness of several weeks;
she got a sound sleep on the third day. After a week, her intestines
and kindneys began to function properly. The poles were cured. CHATER Ill
GROWTHS AND CANCER
There are several types of cancers. It affects various parts of the
body, and is considered an in curable and dangerous disease. Its
tumour grows, within the body, known as 'growht', which appears
as swelling outside the body. But all the swellings on the body are
not malignant. Cancer means sure death. According to the dodors,
growth or cancer develops due to the deficiency of natural alkalies
in the diet. In 1912, the late Dr. F. Forbers Ross of London, a fully
qualified physician, wrote a book, Cancer-Its Genesis and
Treatment. On the basis of 22 years' practice, he had come to the
conclusion that malignancy and other growths are due to a diet
deficiency in natural salts especially potash. By putting patients on a
more balanced diet and administer ing potash salts in an assimilable
form, he cured a large number of cases of this dreaded disease. But
the orthodox doctors with vested interest, say that cancer

wont  to put their trust in the "princes " of medicine)  is as follows : If
urine was at one time known  to be such a valuable remedy,  why has it
fallen And yet those who put  this question  into disrepute?  must  be
unacquainted  with the most  elementary  facts of orthodox medical
history, which  related of one long series of changes of policy, changes
of drugs, of treatments,  of fads  and fashions and  "exploded
superstitions,"  of Some altercations,  of envies and even of persecutions.
of the strangest  "remedies"  have had  a vogue  for a few years, only to
be regarded a few years later  as the most disgusting  and  barbarous
superstitions.  For instance, the notorious  Cardinal Richelieu  was given
horse dung in wine to drink  on his death‐ bed, and not by quacks but by
men we should nowadays  call qualified doctors. (See  Devils, Drugs and
Doctors, by' H. W. Haggard,  MH.D.) 'Nor am I here giving away  "state
secrets"  in alluding to the instability  which  characterises  the orthodox
Medical Profession.  Speaking at the  King's College  H.M. School  on
October 1st, 1918, SurgeonGeneral  Sir Watson  Cheyne, M.P. urged the
students  to remember:
"Medicine  is not an exact science. A good deal of what they  were being
taught  was not true. When they  came to deal with life, they  knew so
little about the living body that they could not be dogmatic.  They  could 21
 only lay down hypotheses  which  would hold for a day and  then pass
away: and just as the teachings  of seventy  years ago seemed to them
very curious  and  not very sound, so it would be exactly the same forty
years hence." (The Times, October 2nd, 1918.)
The truth  of this utterance  applies  every bit as much to‐day as it did in
1918‐perhaps even more  so. It is no exaggeration  to say that, far from
being an exact science,  in spite of all "scientific"  tests that patients are
subjected  to in these  days, it still remains such an inexact science that
ten different doctors have been known  to give ten different diagnoses
relative to so apparently  simple an ailment as persistent  headaches.  In
the American  journal  Liberty (January 22nd, 1938) there appeared  a
significant  article by a man in the late twenties who relates his attempts
to get rid of this annoying trouble by consulting  no less  than ten
doctors in succession;  and at the end of his adventures  he still retained
his headaches.  As the story  is so significant  and  not unfraught  with its
ironic and humorous  side, it may  be condensed  here.
The first  doctor told him he had  an obstruction  in his nose, and  must
see a nose specialist;  the second told him there was nothing the matter
with his nose, but he must see an oculist ; the third told him he had low
blood  pressure,  and  must have injections  ; the fourth told him he had
high  blood  pressure,  and  must diet himself to lower it ; the fifth told
him his liver was enlarged,  and  he must  have  electrical treatment  ; the
sixth told him his liver was not enlarged but it secreted insufficient  bile ;
the seventh told him that his pituitary gland  was  not functioning
properly, and  he must  have  glandular  injections  the eighth told him he
was suffering from intestinal  poisoning,  and must  cut down his eating
and smoking ; the ninth told him that his was a case  of nervous debility, 22
 and  he must  take some pills for the trouble, the tenth told him there
was nothing really the matter with him, and that his headaches  were
just headaches…!  In citing this article  I am not implying that doctors are
ignoramus.  On the contrary, they are so full of erudition that "they
cannot see the wood of truth  for the trees of learning"!  That is one very
cogent reason why sooner or later they  reject the simple remedy  or
treatment  for the  complex,  no matter how efficacious  that simple
remedy  has proved to be.
A final objection  which  may  be raised against urine intake by the
fastidious  (although  it constitutes  no argument  against its therapeutical
value)  is that the taste must  be so " utterly revolting " that only heroes
could bring themselves  to drink  it. This assumption,  however,  is
incorrect.  The taste  of healthy urine is
