olubility in water and solubility in fat solvents such as alcohol, ether, and
chloroform. The term is descriptive rather than a chemical name such as
“protein” or “carbohydrate.” Lipids include true fats (esters of fatty acids and
glycerol); lipoids (phospholipids, cerebrosides, waves); and sterols
(cholesterol, ergosterol). A large portion of a cell’s membrane wall is
cholesterol. The adrenal glands use cholesterol to make cortical-type steroids,
which are, in part, the body’s anti-inflammatories.
So why does cholesterol build up in the lining of the vascular system and
throughout other tissues in the body? This build-up is known as plaque. To
answer this question you must first understand inflammation, or acidosis, and
the role of steroids in the body.
Inflammation simply means that the body is on fire. This inflammation or
fire can exist at low levels or become a raging blaze. Cancer is an excellent
example of a raging fire. As we discussed earlier, inflammation is caused by
acidosis from what you eat, drink, breathe, what you put on your skin, what
you think and what you feel.
Inflammation is diagnosed as an “itis.”
Where
 the inflammation is
discovered will determine what type of “itis” it is. An example of this is
arthritis, which is inflammation of the joints. “Itis’s” are treated by the
allopathic medical community with a steroid shot—like cortisone, prednisone,
or the like. Since we know that the adrenal glands use cholesterol to make
cortical-steroids, the question to ask is: “Why don’t my adrenal glands
produce adequate amounts of their own cortisone?” The answer is that if the
adrenal glands are weak or underactive in the tissue that produces these
steroids, the body cannot adequately defend itself against this strong
inflammation.
Lacking adequate steroids, the body then has no choice but to turn to
water and electrolytes in an attempt to manage this “fire.” But water and
electrolytes also cause edema (swelling) in the area of the inflammation. The
liver will also begin to increase its production of cholesterol, thus giving the
body additional anti-inflammatory compounds. Cholesterol is one of the main
ingredients of steroids.
All of these anti-inflammatory compounds are essential to the protection
of a cell against the highly damaging effects of acids. The creation of plaqueoccurs naturally, chemically, in an acid environment. Alkalization is essential
for the removal of this “protective shield” of plaque which itself can become
a problem.
Most people consume 90-100 percent acid-forming foods. Eating this
way keeps the body’s pH factors acidic. The acid by-products after
metabolism also add to this already over-acid condition,
causing
inflammation (fire), which is a killer of cells. As stated earlier, the body, in its
infinite wisdom, tries to compensate for this by several methods, including:
steroid production, cholesterol (lipid) plaquing, calcium extraction, and
electrolyte or fluid retention. This attempt by the body to alkalize itself is only
self-preservation.
Check for acidity
Buy some litmus papers, also known as pH-testing papers, and keep checking
your saliva and urine, approximately one to two hours after you eat. This will
help you to see what is causing your over-acid condition.

Alkalization is key to tissue regeneration, to the breaking up of stones,
and to the removal of plaqued lipids. Lipid plaquing from
inflammation/acidosis causes poor circulation leading to tissue death, heart
attack and strokes. Acidosis also creates a coagulating of fats and nutrients,
which also leads to strokes, heart attacks, memory loss, graying of hair, pain
in tissues, stone formation and other conditions.
REMOVING THE FIREWALL, SAFELY — It is not difficult to remove this
plaque and to break up lipid-type stones if you consume an 80-100 percent
raw-food diet. Raw foods remove inflammation through alkalization and
increased steroid production, thus dissolving stones and plaqued lipids. This
will unclog the body, increasing blood flow to tissues, which in turn increases
nutrition and energy to cells. This will restore or regenerate these weakened
areas. Such restoration does not take very long if you are persistent with the
diet.
MODULE 5.4
Adrenal Gland Weakness = Female and Male Disorders
 The adrenal glands greatly affect the quality of life that each individual wants
to and
can
 experience. This is why you should always seek to strengthen all
the cells/glands in your body. Your body is your transportation while you are
on this journey in the physical world. Disease and weakness locks you away
from life, while health and vitality make you more a part of it. Enjoy your
adventure into health. It’s more rewarding than you can imagine.
Let’s look at some other problems that can arise when the adrenal glands
are weak and the diet is predominately acid forming.
FEMALE IMBALANCES

Women are especially hard hit in the area of adrenal weakness. One of the
first indicators of this is low blood pressure. With underactive adrenal glands,
blood pressure starts out below 118 systolic and eventually can swing the
other way, creating high blood pressure, or it can keep getting lower.
Another indicator of adrenal weakness for women will be trouble with
the menstruation cycle. In this situation a female is likely to begin her
menstruation early in life, at anywhere from three- to twelve-years-old. (Yes,
I have known of three-year-old females menstruating.) She often has
excessive bleeding and her monthly cycle is not on time. The opposite can
also happen: women having sparse and infrequent periods. However, this is
not as common.
Adrenal weakness in women can also manifest as fertility problems, lack
of sex drive, frigidity, and vaginal dryness. If the adrenal weakness
continues, she can develop ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, fibrocystic issues,
a-typical cells, fibromyalgia, and breast, ovarian, cervical and/or uterine
cancers.
The main issue, of course, is estrogen. Without proper progesterone and
other anti-inflammatory steroids a woman becomes estrogen dominant. The
estrogen levels in her body, especially ovarian estrogen, dominate without the
counterbalance of progesterone. Most estrogens are acidic, especially ovarian
estrogen, which breaks down the inner lining of the uterus each month. Of
course progesterone stops this, and heals the inflamed tissue while repairing
the damaged cells.
Because of estrogen’s ability to break down the uterine lining, birth
control pills are made from estrogen. Estrogen stimulates a woman’s naturalmenstruation cycle. With all this in mind, ask yourself: “Why does a medical
doctor give a woman
more
 estrogen after removing the uterus?” Also, with
the above information, would estrogen build up bones or tear bones down?
Yes, tear down. This is why estrogen replacement programs usually make the
problems much worse.
MALE IMBALANCES

Now let’s take a look at the male issues, which spring from the same adrenal
weaknesses. These imbalances would be prostatitis and prostate cancer. The
same reasons apply: acid-type hormones like testosterone and androsterone
dominate without proper steroids (like progesterone) counterbalancing the
inflammation caused by these acidic compounds or hormones.
A lot of good romance is lost because of glandular weaknesses. This
would include many other conditions that plague men, including erection
problems, impotency, and premature ejaculation. Health brings it all back.
PROBLEMS COMMON TO BOTH

In both males and females with lower steroid production, from underactive
adrenal glands, we also find lower back and pelvic weakness and
deterioration. This also leads into sciatica and other lower extremity nerve
pains, especially when the thyroid is involved. Since the thyroid/parathyroid
affects calcium utilization, we begin to see bone loss, fingernail problems,
and connective tissue issues, including varicose veins, hemorrhoids, macular
degeneration, hernias, heart arrhythmias and aneurysms.
The adrenal glands also create neurotransmitters. When the adrenal
glands are weak, the nervous system can also be involved, causing anxieties,
shyness, feelings of inadequacy, panic attacks, asthma, multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson’s, or any other neurotransmitter weaknesses, including blood
pressure irregularities. It is shocking to see the huge number of reflex
conditions that result from just one pair of glands that become hypoactive.
Add to this the fact that most people have thyroid and/or pituitary weaknesses
as well, and the list of diseases that can result gets longer and longer. There is
nothing mysterious about diseases when you begin to look at the overallpicture.
You are the only one in control. Stop, explore yourself, and rid yourself
of the thoughts, images, and feelings that bind you. Become free and
healthy and your body will readjust itself to match. Become love.
MODULE 5.5
Cancer

Diseases are a natural process or effect born out of a cause. Learn to eliminate
the cause and the effect will also be eliminated. In my opinion, after thirty
years of experience in clinical work and observation with cancer clients, there
are

out of the Presence  will  pour  everything  you  require.  It is
a Law  of your  Being.  It cannot  fail!
You are the Decreer  of your  world!  Decree  Its Perfection!
Turn  your  attention  where  Perfection  is, and  Perfection
must  flow  back  in response,  to fill your  world!  It is Power-

PHILADELPHIA,  PENN.  May  23,  7937
Your  Infinite  Opportunity,  Oh  Children  of Earth,  is
filled  with  a Charged  Glory,  yet unknown  and  experienced
by mankind.  Yours  is the Joy,  the Happiness,  the Power  of
having  come  to know  your  own  God-Self,  the "Mighty  I
AM."  You  may  wonder  why  so many  times  the expression
is used—"Your  'Mighty  I AM  Presence'";  because  It is the
Mightiest  Intelligence  in the Universe—the  Governor  of
your  worlds,  if you  please,  and  the Governor  of the Whole
Universe!  It has provided  for you  a Higher  Mental  Body,
Your  Own  Christ  Self,  by which  It releases  Its Powers  to
YOU  WITHOUT  LIMIT.
When  you  will  once  set aside  human  desire,  or call your
Presence  into  action  to give  you  the Strength  to set aside,
your  human  concepts;  and  allow  the Light  of your  Presence
to illumine  your  Mind  and  charge  your  feeling  world  with
Its Mighty  Harmony;  then  you  will  quickly  enter  into  all
Freedom  which  is yours.
Do not longer  allow  your  human  concepts  to dominate
your  world  and  limit  you!  There  is no limitation  in all
the Universe,  but that  which  Individuals  create  for them-
selves ! I say to you  tonight,  every  one of you  has the Power
to release  yourself  at once,  if you  will!  We  see and  know
within  your  Heart  the Light,  the Power  and  Ability  which
61 62 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
are there!  I say to you,  assert  your  Dominion!  Do not allow
your  human  self longer  to dominate  you!
Because  you  might  have  made  mistakes;  and  because
you have  surrounded  yourself  by your  own  human  creation,
still they  have  no other  power  except  what  you  give  them!
I say to you tonight:  Assert  your  Dominion  in the Power  of
the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence;  and  no longer  al-
low the outer  world,  to limit  or deprive  you  of that  which
your  Great  God-Self  holds  ready  to release  at any  given
moment;  when  Enough  Love,  Enough  Kindness,  Enough
Harmony  go forth  from  your  feeling  world  to that  Mighty
Presence.  Then,  will  the Door  be opened  wide—the  doors
of doubt  and  fear  swept  aside,  by the Hands  of your  Pres-
ence;  to glorify  you  and  send  you  forth  a Glorified  Being  of
Freedom.
No longer  need  mankind  remain  in chains  of its own
forging!  Only  as the people  refuse  to accept,  apply  and  con-
tinue  to apply,  until  the results  are there,  may  they  be de-
prived  of Freedom.
You are  Beings  of Light!  Do  not  allow  yourselves  to
linger  longer  in the world  of human  creations!  You  have
learned,  you  have  found  your  Source!  You  have  found  and
have  the Scepter  of Dominion  in your  hand,  by the Accept-
ance  of your  Presence,  your  "Mighty  I AM."  Allow  It by
Harmony  maintained,  to flow  forth  into  your  world  like  a
Mighty  River  and  produce  Its Perfection  there.
On the Planets  whose  Light  has expanded  more  than  the
Earth,  there  are those  Beings  of Natural  Light  and  Free-DISCOURSE  VIII  63
dom.  On your  Beloved  Venus,  whose  Assistance  has so long
come  to the Earth,  They  know  what  Peace  and  Harmony
mean.  They  live  in the  Glory  of Its Infinite  Expression
naturally!  So you  of Earth  shall  come  to know—notice
Those  Words—SHALL  COME  TO  KNOW  your  Do-
minion,  in the  Acceptance  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence."  There  is no power  of human  creation  or otherwise,
which  will  longer  have  power  to detain  you,  in your  world
of human  creation!
The Great  Cosmic  Light  has  said:  "You  must  produce
More  Light,  for there  must  come  changes  within  the Earth,
which  will  cause  It to be produced"!  Your  opportunity
is here,  Oh Beloved  Children,  if you  will  call your  Presence
forth  and  stand  by It; never  doubting  or fearing  Its Ability
to flood  your  world  with  Its Harmony  and  Perfection.
Those  who  still  insist  upon  sending  forth  discord  from
their  feeling  world,  must  reap  its result.  Make  no mistake
about  that!  How  gladly  We would  lift you  out of all those
human  creations,  if you  would  but  just  be FIRM  AND
STRONG.  Glorify  yourself  in the Fulness  of the Oppor-
tunity  which  is yours.  Then,  you  will  find  the Glory  of that
Freedom  filling  your  world  and  causing  it to be the Per-
fection  which  every  Heart  knows;  and  has been  reaching
and reaching  and  reaching  to find.
Your  Light  is the Light  of God!  You  have  heard  the
expression:  "America  is the Heart


 she was5’2” and weighed about 240 pounds. I turned 60 last year andI decided I did not want to be like my mother. I’m going in theopposite direction. I want to slim down and build some muscleand remain attractive.
I have to say up front that when I first visited Dr. Platt, I
walked into his office with an attitude of skepticism. Not becauseof all the diets I’d gone on, but because I have an insider’sknowledge of medical scams. For 20 years my career consisted ofmarketing and selling pharmaceutical products. I know whatpharmaceutical companies will stoop to in order to turn a profit.I lost my innocence about medicine long ago, and I’m always onthe lookout for someone trying to turn an easy buck.
But once I spoke to Dr. Platt I was relieved. From the way he
talked, I realized he wasn’t just promoting products. What he saidabout why people hang onto weight and why their bodies hate tolose fat made sense. There was none of the jargon and medical116 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  babble that tends to cluster around trendy medical scams.
Platt’s office staff have also been very supportive, and they
communicate a sense of being genuinely interested in everyone whocomes in there. The whole atmosphere is wonderful. They’re notpunitive when you don’t meet your goals as expected.
As far as the process of losing weight is concerned, it’s been
virtually painless. The diet itself is easy to follow. I’m a fruit freakand that’s been the most difficult thing to give up, but I realizethat I will be able to go back to fruit later in the process; it’s notsomething I have to give up for the rest of my life. Once I’ve lostthe weight I want to lose, the fruit will be re-introduced. In theshort term, trust me, if that’s all I have to give up, that’s fine.
There was a brief period when I was losing weight but not
feeling very energetic. I went in to see one of the nutritionalcounselors, who recommended a multi-mineral supplement. It wasmy thought, knowing just enough about medicine to be dangerous,that perhaps I should be taking potassium. I know diets can bepotassium-depleting. But the counselor said not only to do potas-sium but to take a multi-mineral as well. Sure enough, myenergy returned and I started feeling absolutely great. It made mewonder whether I’d been lacking in some mineral or other formany years.
During my very first interview with Dr. Platt it came out
that my sister died of colon cancer and that now one of her daugh-ters has colon cancer. Also, my mother had a mastectomy when shewas 38. Dr. Platt was very interested in this. It’s one of the reasonswhy he placed me on progesterone, which is erroneously thought ofas a female hormone. But according to him, progesterone willprotect me from the excess estrogen I’m putting out. He knew thatwas true even before he did my blood work, just from my familymedical history.
I was also started on testosterone, and the amounts were very
carefully monitored by Dr. Platt’s office. It certainly helped with117 ADUL T-ONSET DIABETES AND LOUIS R.  my libido (interest in sex). According to the blood work my DHEA
is that of a 30-year-old. Dr. Platt wanted to know if anyone inmy family had lived a long time. My grandfather lived to almost90, and my mother was almost 90 when she died.
Dr. Platt also thought my thyroid was not putting out as
much hormone as it should, so he has me on a couple of thyroidmedications. This makes a difference. I’ve noticed since I’ve beenon this diet that I don’t get that late afternoon letdown I used toget. I think that’s due to the thyroid medications and the proges-terone, which Dr. Platt states is stabilizing my blood sugar.
So far I’ve lost 32 pounds, and I’ve weaned myself off one of
my medications for diabetes. As we go along we’re fine-tuning mymedications. It seems to be a rather sensible approach. I’m verypleased with the results.
DIABETES AND INSULIN
Louis has a strong family history of both obesity and adult-
onset diabetes. This means everyone in his family over-produces insulin, and insulin is the hormone that creates fat.
A simple way of thinking about insulin is to understand
that insulin will take any sugar the body’s not using and store itprimarily in the fat cells. Once the sugar is absorbed into the fatcells, it is converted into fat. People have a limited number offat cells, which therefore can only contain a limited amount offat. As these cells fill up with fat, it gets harder for insulin to getthe sugar into them. This is what I refer to as “insulin resist-ance”; there are other types of insulin resistance that also play asignificant role in diabetes. Whichever type is in effect, thebody responds by producing even more insulin. This is called“hyperinsulinemia.” Insulin not only creates fat, it prevents fatfrom getting out of the fat cells—it is a fat-storing hormone.118 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  One can easily see that if you have too much insulin, you
are going to have a weight problem.
Eventually the fat cells get completely filled up and sugar
can no longer get into the fat cells—so it builds up in thebloodstream and the patient is told he or she has diabetes.While in fact diabetes is frequently a disease of too muchinsulin, doctors approach diabetes as if it is a disease of highblood sugar. So they give their patients medications tostimulate the pancreas to make even more insulin. This extrainsulin literally pushes the sugar into the fat cells, creating evenmore weight gain.
The exception to this is the medication Glucophage, which
goes by the generic name metformin. Glucophage doesn’tactually lower blood sugar; it acts by increasing the sensitivityof tissues in the body to insulin, leading to a lowering ofinsulin levels. Needless to say, I do not necessarily wean peopleoff this particular diabetic medication.
Many patients with type II (adult-onset) diabetes may
inappropriately wind up on insulin injections. Since probably90 percent of people with adult-onset diabetes already have toomuch insulin to begin with, placing them on insulin oftenexacerbates their weight problem
.
HYPOGLYCEMIA AND INSULIN
If my patients are having hypoglycemic reactions, usually mani-
fested as afternoon fatigue, sleepiness after eating, sleepiness whilein a car either as the driver or as a passenger, this tells me that theyare over-producing insulin, irrespective of blood sugar levels.
If I have a patient who has been diagnosed with diabetes
and has symptoms suggesting hypoglycemia, I can assume theyare producing an adequate amount of insulin. These patients119 ADUL T-ONSET DIABETES AND LOUIS R.  can often be cured of their diabetes by lowering their insulin
levels and changing the way they eat to a fat-burning mealplan. Once a certain amount of fat has been eliminated, thereis room in the fat cells for the sugar to be taken in, and thediabetes condition is gone.
In my opinion, there is one major cause for hyperinsuline-
mia (too much insulin), namely, too little progesterone. Louis’family history is classic for this condition—which underscoresthe importance of spending time talking to patients. Muchinformation can be gleaned from a family history. In the firstplace, the prevalence of diabetes in the family was suggestive ofSyndrome X, the form of hyperinsulinemia associated withhigh triglyceride levels and low HDL cholesterol. The strongfamily history of estrogen-related cancers also suggested lowprogesterone levels.
HORMONAL INFLUENCES
Louis had significant hormone problems. Besides indicating
low progesterone levels, his family history was consistent withevidence of estrogen dominance. The history of colon cancerand breast cancer among the women in his family would havebeen related to estrogen. The low progesterone led to problemswith hyperinsulinemia, with resultant obesity.
Blood tests indicated that Louis also had low levels of
testosterone. This too is a hormone that lowers insulin levels,just like progesterone. T estosterone is probably the mostimportant hormone to replace in a male, for multiple reasons.It treats and prevents osteoporosis (as we have seen, fracturedhips are associated with a 25 percent mortality rate in men). Itappears to help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. And a man is notable to perform sexually with low levels of testosterone.120 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  T estosterone also helps keep the heart healthy: The heart
muscle has more testosterone receptor sites than any othermuscle, which means the heart uses more testosterone thanany other organ. T estosterone is now being used to treatcongestive heart failure in men. A man cannot build musclewithout testosterone. It has been found that many men (andwomen) have very low levels of testosterone after a heartattack. Could it be a contributing factor?
DIABETES AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Louis will probably have to restrict the carbohydrates in his diet
for the rest of his life. Making Louis aware of how his metabo-lism works—how sugar and insulin throw his energy levels outof whack, and how he can use protein to stabilize his system—has made all the difference. With his hormones


, which will always remain personal. Up to the point when
they merged, two lovers walked separate paths. Together they create a new
path that has no past, where every step moves into the unkno wn, and no
amount of experience can light the way.
The following are the insights brought about in love’ s first communion:
Awareness can be shar ed. What God gives you out of love, you can give to someone you love.
Communion is the basis of trust.The unknown is the territory of lovers.
A S TRUGGLE  BETWEEN  LOVE AND  EGO
When two people meet in satsang, they can bring the fullness of their higher
Selves, yet what most of us bring to courtship is not fullness but need.
When need dominates over love the fragile thread of spirit is broken. Need
implies a lack in oneself, a missing piece that someone else must supply.
Women are generally asked to supply the softness, nurturing, comfort,
beauty, and affection that men cannot otherwise find within. Men are
expected to supply the strength, protection, power, and will that women
cannot otherwise find. Both feel that the other has made them complete.
Need is a power ful thing, capable of creating powerful illusions. No one
can really enter you and replace a missing piece. The softness or tenderness
or nurturing a man finds in a woman is only borrowed unless he can be
taught to. develop those same qualities. A woman may bene fit from the
power, will, and strength she finds in a man, but that is not the same as
having these qualities become her own.
In court ship we decide whether to borrow from another or actually
become what the other represent s. In communion you can become what you
perceive, if your satsang is deep enough. It is all a question of intent. Will
you bandage your inner needs or actually heal them? Only the long journey
ahead can answer this, but courtship clears the way.
Given our cultural conditioning, most couples lose the fragile thread of
spirit in this phase. As the heigh tened emotions of infatuation begin to cool,
what replaces them is ego, the main component of the false self. We all rely
upon our egos to lead us through the known world. “I” is not a fixed entity
but a constantly accumulating set of experiences.
The ego always seems to know what it needs. An ego need can be
defined as anything that bolsters “me.” By feeding your isolated identity,
you continue the most familiar mode of existence you have known, which is
the pursuit of self-image. The fact that romantic passion can take a person
beyond ego doesn’ t abolish the ego’ s needs.
Typically, the courtship phase is when most lovers begin to have doubts.
The issue of commitment arises, and the first hints of incompat ibility make
their unwelcome appearance. Courtships generally break off when one orthe other person feels that his or her needs aren’ t going to be met. The man
may feel that the woman is not sufficiently deferential or suppo rtive of his
self-image; the woman may feel that the man is not sensitive or caring
enough to nourish her feelings.
Although it is typical for both a man and a woman to have potent
fantasies about each other befor e they become intimate, once they begin to
spend time together, fantasy is not strong enough to restrain the ego. There
is now a precarious balance between love, which makes communion
possible, and need, which doesn ’t want to sacrifice selfishness unless forced
to.
It is unfair to blame any single person for lack of trust given our social
experience. We have all been conditioned to obey ego needs blindly. We are
a society that has grown suspicious of intimate contact. Some intrusions of
personal space are horrifying, such as rape and murder, but the betrayal of
space is extremely disturbing even when violence isn’t done. Two people
engaged in an alimony fight or a bitter custody dispute are in essence taking
advantage of the intimate knowledge they gained in marriage, turning trust
into aggression. It is no wonder that allowing another person past your well-
guarded defenses causes deep conflict, for the person who might deliver
you from threat might also prove to be the enemy inside your gates.
Being in love isn’t going to abolish crime, war, homelessness, racial
strife, and the multitude of other threats around us. The ego uses these
outside dangers to convince you that the world is hostile and uncaring. To
all appearances the ego is right, but only according to its isolationist
perspective. In truth, to see anything without love is to see it fearfully.
Threat doesn’ t arise “out there.” Its origins are “in here,” where we first
establish our beliefs. Defenses exist to ward off threat. They are like an
early warning system that can be tuned so sensitively that no one could be
unthreatening enough to disarm them.
The real question, then, is how to defuse the sense of threat enough to
allow love to be trusted. What feeds threat and keeps it going? The answers
are many, but they can be simplified. Every threat is a shadow from the
past.
In reality ther e is nothing to fear in the pr esent. Fear is pr ojected onto the pr esent by memory.Newborn infants, because they have no past, lack all defenses; a baby is
completely vulnerable to any intruder or harmful influence, utterly
dependent upon outside protecti on to survive. Yet, paradoxically, no one is
more invulnerable than a newborn child, because it has no fear. Experience
has yet to create  its imprint on the nervous system, and withou t a frame of
reference there is no threat. (It is true that babies have instinctive fears, such
as fear of falling, but these are physical rather than psychological. Physical
fear contributes  to survival, whereas psychological fear can be crippling.
The one promotes fast, sure reactions; the other can create paralysis.)
Threat is a subjective interpretation that must be taught; it often bears
little relationship to the actual danger surrounding a person. That is why a
sport like mountain climbing can turn instinctive fear—the fear of falling—
into a joyful experience; everything depends upon interpretation.
The enterprise of learning how to defend oneself in the world takes a
long time. We all cherish our survival skills, having long ago abandoned the
fearlessness of a newborn. When courtship asks us to commit ourselves to
another person, we unconsciously see this as a decision that could affect our
survival—that is what giving up your defenses feels like. Your doubt and
mistrust toward someone you love is a mirror of your own belief that fear is
necessary, that survival isn’ t possible without defenses.
SEPARA TING TRUE FROM  FALSE
Courtship allows trust to grow despite old wounds. Given how many years
we’ve all spent building our defenses, this healing doesn’ t happen quickly.
In fact, the first phase of healin g brings up old wounds to be felt afresh.
Only when you begin to feel safe does your psyche permit you to look at
fears that were too intense to confront before. It is common for either
partner to relive, in contemporary form, the traumas and survival threats of
childhood. It isn’t surprising, then, that a man and woman may not permit
themselves to be in a healing relationship at first. They need the courage to
see that the doubt and fear that surface at odd moments is comi ng up to be
examined and released, not blindly acted on.
The most destructive effect of feeling threatened is to cut off the flow of
love. If you were not taught about love from childhood, being able to beundefended with another perso n is much more difficult. Loving parents
must teach their children that reality isn’ t simply harsh.
All of us wer e imprinted one of two ways: either the world is danger ous with moments of safety, or
the world is safe with moments of danger.
No matter how hostile the world appears, a loving family remains secure
as a place of nurturing and protection. Children don’t need to trust
everyone, only someone who will never let them down—thus the original
balance between love and need is established. A strong positive imprint
from infancy can last a lifetim e. Even though only two paren ts taught a
child to love, it is as if the whole world loved that child, and the belief “I
am loved” endures as part of his or her reality. When you have a rock-
bottom belief that you are loved, your needs won’ t be so desperate; there
will be room to allow another person into your inner space.
The worst impri nt you can have  from childhood is that your models for
love were also models of betrayal. This happens in cases of abuse—
physical, sexual, or emotional. With any sort of abuse in your background,
you will secretly regard every lover as an enemy. The gentlest caress
contains the possibility of being struck; the softest endearment resonates
with potential degradation.
Ironically, it is just these childr en who grow up to crave love the most,
but being insecure, feeling the need for defense beyond what is reasonable,
they also pull away from commitment the fastest. Such people are not
certain deep down that they can feel love, despite their craving for it. Even
the most intoxic ating romance will not be able to overcome a history that
places ego needs much higher than those of relationship.
Getting to true love is a growth  process, and


 have been used as a
medium of exchange. We use paper bills, checks, nickel, and silver
surely these are not evil. Physicists and chemists know today that the
only difference between one metal and another is the number and rate
of motion of electrons revolving around a central nucleus. They ca n
now change one metal into another through a bombardment of the
atoms in the powerful cyclotron. Gold under certain conditions
becomes mercury. I believe that our modern scientists in the ne ar
future will be able to make gold, silver, and other metals s ynthetically
in the chemical laboratory. The cost may be pro-hibitive now, but it
can be done. I cannot imagine any intelli-gent person seeing anything
evil in electrons, neutrons, protons, and isotopes.
The piece of paper in your pocket is composed of atoms and
molecules with their electrons and protons arranged differ-entl y. Their
number and rate of motion are different. That is the only way  the
paper differs from the silver in your pocket.
• How to attract the money you need
Many years ago I met a young boy in Australia who wanted to
become a physician and surgeon, but he had no money. I explained to
him how a seed deposited in the soil attracts to itself ever ything
 112  necessary for its unfolding, and that all he had to do was to ta ke a
lesson from the seed and deposit the required idea in his subcons cious
mind. For expenses this young, brilliant boy used to clean out doctors’
offices, wash windows, and do odd repair jobs. He told me that every
night, as he went to sleep, he used to picture in his mind’s e ye a
medical diploma on a wall with his name on it in big, bold let ters. He
used to clean and shine the framed diplomas in the medical build ing
where he worked. It was not hard for him to engrave the image  of a
diploma in his mind and develop it there. Definite results fol -lowed as
he persisted with his mental picture every night for about four months.
The sequel of this story was very interesting. One of the doctors
took a great liking to this young boy and after training him i n the art
of sterilizing instruments, giving hypodermic in-jections, and ot her
miscellaneous first-aid work, he employed him as a technical assistant
in his office. The doctor later sent him to medical school at his  own
expense. Today, this young man is a prominent medical doctor in
Montreal, Canada. He discovered the law of attraction by using his
subconscious mind the right way. He operated an ageold law, whi ch
says, “Having seen the end, you have willed the means to  the
realization of the end.” The end in this case was to become a medical
doctor.
This young man was able to imagine, see, and feel the reality of
being a doctor. He lived with that idea, sustained it, nourished it,  and
loved it until through his imagination it pene-trated the layers  of his
subconscious mind and became a con-viction, thereby attracting  to
him everything necessary for the fulfillment of his dream.
• Why some men do not get a raise in pay
If you are working in a large organization and you are silently
thinking of and resenting the fact you are underpaid, that you are  not
appreciated, and that you deserve more money and greater
recognition, you are subconsciously severing your ties with that
organization. You are setting a law in motion, and the superintende nt
or manager will say to you, “We have to let you go.” Actually, you
 113  dismissed yourself. The manager was simply the instrument thro ugh
which your own negative mental state was confirmed. It was an
example of the law of action and reaction. The action was your
thought, and the reaction was the response of your subconscious mind.
• Obstacles and impediments on the pathway to riches
I am sure you have heard men say, “That fellow has a racket.” “He
is a racketeer.” “He is getting money dishonestly.” “He is  a faker.” “I
knew him when he had nothing.” “He is a crook, a thief, and a
swindler.”
If you analyze the man who talks like that, you discover he is
usually in want or suffering from some financial or physical  illness.
Perhaps his former college friends went up the ladder of  success and
excelled him. Now he is bitter and envious of their progress. In many
instances this is the cause of his downfall. Thinking negativel y of
these classmates and condemning their wealth causes the wealt h and
prosperity he is praying for to vanish and flee away. He is
condemning the thing he is praying for.
He is praying two ways. On the one hand he is saying, “Wealth is
flowing to me now,” and in the next breath, silently or audibly, he i s
saying, “I resent that fellow’s wealth.” Always make i t a special point
to rejoice in the wealth of the other person.
• Protect your investments
If you are seeking wisdom regarding investments, or if you are
worried about your stocks or bonds, quietly claim, “Infinite
intelligence governs and watches over all my financial tr ansac-tions,
and whatsoever I do shall prosper.” Do this frequently and you will
find that your investments will be wise; moreover, you will be
protected from loss, as you will be prompted to sell your secu rities or
holdings before any loss accrues to you.
• You cannot get something for nothing
In large stores the management employs store detectives to prevent
people from stealing. They catch a number of people every da y trying
 114  to get something for nothing. All such people are living in the mental
atmosphere of lack and limitation and are stealing from themsel ves
peace, harmony, faith, honesty, integrity, good will, and confidence.
Furthermore, they are attracting to themselves all manner of loss, such
as, loss of charac-ter, prestige, social status, and peace of mind. These
people lack faith in the source of supply and the understanding of  how
their minds work. If they would mentally call on the powers of th eir
subconscious mind and claim that they are guided to their true
expression, they would find work and constant supply. Then by
honesty, integrity, and perseverance, they would become a credit  to
themselves and to society at large.
• Your constant supply of money
Recognizing the powers of your subconscious mind and the creative
power of your thought or mental image is the way to opulence,
freedom, and constant supply. Accept the abundant life in your own
mind. Your mental acceptance and expectancy of wealth has its own
mathematics and mechanics of expression. As you enter into the  mood
of opulence, all things necessary for the abundant life will c ome to
pass.
Let this be your daily affirmation; write it in your heart, “I  am one
with the infinite riches of my subconscious mind. It is my right to be
rich, happy, and successful. Money flows to me freely, copious ly, and
endlessly. I am forever conscious of my true worth. I give of my
talents freely, and I am wonderfully blessed financially. It is
wonderful!”
• Step up this way to riches
1. Be bold enough to claim that it is your right to be rich and your
deeper mind will honor your claim.
2. You don’t want just enough to go around. You want all the
money you need to do all the things you want to do and when you
want to do them. Get acquainted with the riches of your sub conscious
mind.
 115  3. When money is circulating freely in your life, you are eco-
nomically healthy. Look at money like the tide and you will always
have plenty of it. The ebb and flow of the tide is constant. Wh en the
tide is out, you are absolutely sure that it will return.
4. Knowing the laws of your subconscious mind, you will al-ways
be supplied regardless of what form money takes.
5. One reason many people simply make ends meet and never have
enough money is that they condemn money. What you condemn takes
wings and flies away.
6. Do not make a god of money. It is only a symbol. Remem-ber
that the real riches are in your mind. You are here to lead a ba lanced
life—this includes acquiring all the money you need.
7. Don’t make money your sole aim. Claim wealth, happiness,
peace, true expression, and love, and personally radiate love a nd good
will to all. Then your subconscious mind will give you compound
interest in all these fields of expression.
8. There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mi nd, and you
should heal yourself of this mental conflict or malady at once.
9. You are not here to live in a hovel, to dress in rags, or to go
hungry. You are here to lead the life more abundant.
10. Never use the terms “filthy lucre” or “I desp


 from the standpoint of iridology. the first thing we have found is always a black area in that portio n of the
ins corresponding to the bowel. The condition of the transverse colon (which comes across the top of the bowel) is indicated by
signs near the top of the iris at from 10 o’clock to about 12 o’clock, within what is called the autonomic nerve wreath. We s tart
down the descending colon, represented in the i ris from 12 to 5 o’clock, then the sigmoid colon from 5 to 7 o’clock, until we come
to the rectal area about 7 o’clock. This is only one side of the body. I don’t want to give a lesson in iridology but I would  like to
take you on a little learning trip bec ause the ins has much to teach us about the condition of the bowel. In the iris of the eye,
various conditions show up as black areas, which I call “bowel pockets,” where the autonomic wreath makes a definite break. I
have found that the black area represe nts underactivity, an inherent weakness and a toxic material settlement. Over the years, I
went after these three things in my work with patients. I found that an inherent weakness in the bowel quickly leads to probl ems in
bowel function unless the body ha s all the power and energy it needs to work with. When the body is tired, an inherent weakness
in the bowel leads to hypoactivity. So, I had to take care of the energies of my patients. I had to take care of enervation. I had to get
rid of tiredness. I had  to help patients get rid of what I call “vitality wasters.” Every sick person is fatigued and rundown. They are
burned out. They want to lie down. Some of them don’t even have the energy to walk. All they want to do is to go bed. They do n’t
have enough en ergy or spirit to really do things, and I found that while taking care of these people, having them rest and change
their diets, I began to see certain healing signs come into those black areas in the irides. These correlations between bowel
condition and the appearance of the iris were confirmed repeatedly over the years.

There is much cynicism among medical doctors over the value of iridology, but I believe this will change. It takes three mont hs to
demonstrate healing signs in the eye and the average  medical doctor seems to be unwilling to take the time for this kind of
systematic follow -up. I can prove what I have presented here, but it does take three months. The average doctor wants to see it
right now; he makes one test and that’s it. If it isn’t there in a week, it doesn’t exist. Iridology deals with tissue changes. When we
examine the iris, we are “reading” tissue condition. We do not directly read toxic material settlements in the bowel. When we
examine the iris, we are reading the bowel wall. W hen the healing signs appear, they are called calcium luteum lines. Improvement
in the bowel wall takes care of toxic materials in the body; it moves them along a little quicker. We may quicken elimination  of the
acids by using foods containing potassium a nd sodium. We find that magnesium relaxes the bowel for those who have tension.
Of course, we often resort to using milk of magnesia for this, but we can also use the magnesium which is found in our foods,  of
which yellow cornmeal contains the most. Magnes ium is also found in all vegetables.

Using the proper foods to bring about physical changes is slower than drug therapy; it is the natural way. We find no “undesi rable
side effects” here. When I first began seeing these changes come about in the irides of my patients’ eyes, I actually didn’t know I
was doing anything unusual. I was simply putting my patients on a right -living regime. But I then started to have X -rays taken,
because I wanted to confirm what I suspected was going on. I spent time at the Ba ttle Creek Sanitarium and began to see how the
X-rays verified what I was finding through iridology. When my iris reading indicated a bowel pocket at 3 o’clock, I found on th e
X-ray that there was a diverticulum in the bowel. I found there was a ballooned condition where the toxic materials were not being
eliminated as they should. At that time, I studied with Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, who was a master of taking care of the bowel. He
wrote on colon hygiene and also did a great deal of work with diet. One thi ng I learned was that we have “friendly” bacteria in the
bowel. These friendly bacteria keep the bowel clean from putrefaction and fermentation which produce excess gas and bad odors.
Dr. Kellogg taught that the bowel should be about 85% acidophilus bacter ia and 15% bacillus coli, or those which produce gas.
This, he stated was the right bacterial balance for a healthy bowel. I wanted to test my patients for this bacteria balance, so I sent
fecal samples from 500 of my patients to a medical laboratory to fi nd out about the relative amounts of acidophilus, bacillus
coli and acid -fast bacteria. I wanted to know the effect of the pH (acidity/alkalinity value) and to find out all I could about the
intestinal flora. The lab results averaged 85% bacillus coli, or detrimental bacteria, as compared to 15% of the acidophilus. It was
just the opposite of what it should be to be healthy! These were the results for 500 of the patients who had come to my offic e.

Obviously, the bowel of the average patient was not what i s should be. I have taken care of bowel problems through colonics. I
have recommended colonics frequently to my patients, but you see, this alone doesn’t bring healing lines into the eyes, becau se
healing signs come when there is a new chemical balance in the tissue. I deal in tissue, and when I see various bowel conditions
indicated from the eyes, I can’t tell you that the problem is always diverticula. It could be diverticula and I would say 9 t imes out
of 10 it is, because X -rays I have examined have dem onstrated it as such.

It is so important to mention that through iridology I have found reflex conditions from problems in the bowel. There is a de finite
relation between certain organ conditions and the bowel conditions as indicated in the eye. For ins tance, I examined a lady who
had torticollis (a wry neck) and when I told her I would have to adjust her neck, she refused because she’d had several adjus tments
to her neck and it only seemed to become worse each time. She just couldn’t stand to have anybo dy touch it again. Well, I’m a
chiropractor and I’m supposed to do adjustments. I was just starting in iridology but I had to do something, so I checked her  eyes
and found a black pocket. When I asked if she had ever had bowel trouble, she said she’d had i t for years ever since her neck
trouble began. Lately, the bowel problem had become worse. I prescribed an enema right away. She had three enemas and in one
hour’s time while I was still there, she obtained complete relief from the stiff neck problem. I wa lked out of there and I hadn’t
touched her neck. I only took care of the bowel. This was quite an experience and I will never forget it.

Another patient came to see me some months later who had a large abscess on his neck, and in looking into the iris of his eye, I
saw a large black hole with the most beautiful healing signs coming into it. I know you cannot have healing signs unless ther e is a
change in diet. It is very necessary to talk about food. He said he had been driving behind a citrus truck which overturned and
spilled oranges all over the road. When he stopped to help, the truck driver told him to pick up as many as he wanted, so he filled
the trunk of his car and drank orange juice for 45 days. This certainly was an extreme elimination diet, but he couldn’t get rid of
the accumulated toxic material in his body fast enough through normal elimination because he wasn’t doing enough in taking
care of the bowel. The overload of toxic material being eliminated produced the abscess on his neck.

INHERENT  WEAKNESSES
Inherent weaknesses are areas of the body where toxic materials finally accumulate. It is in these organs that infection deve lops.
We can have an infection in the lung, we can have abscessed teeth, we can have these problems in various parts of  the body, and
invariably, these infections come originally from the bowel. I have found a striking correlation in my iridology studies over  the last
45 years, confirming that there is a definite relationship between conditions in sections of the bowel and  conditions in other
specific parts of the body. When a patient complains of a breast condition, there is a certain place in the bowel that I susp ect
harbors a low -grade infection which is affecting the breast area; or, other areas of the body nay have pro blems that can be


102 degrees F., but all other findings were negative. In a couple of days they informed me her temperature was normal and she was feeling all right, but she was passing a large (sticky) amount of urine frequently.  Having tried all methods of treatment on several other patients whom I have had within the past few months suffering with glycosuria (sugar in the urine), I decided to try Autotherapy, for I had known cases of icterus (jaundice) which had failed to respond to any medical treatment, but cleared up in a very short time when they were given their own urine to drink.  I gave this little girl three ounces of her own urine three times daily and then examined for the sugar percentage and found that when she was taking the urine, the percentage of sugar dropped, and that when it was withdrawn, the percentage increased. I could also see some improvement in her general condition. She did not urinate so often or so much; did not drink so much water; her skin was more moist, she was not so nervous…”  New Albany Medical Herald by Dr. C.G. Moore  DIABETES  Jaime E.

World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  DIARRHEA   Mr. V.M., Germany 71 "I'll say it straight off: I do not have any great, miraculous recovery to report. When I was a child, I tasted my urine out of curiosity. It tasted sharp and burned a bit, and I could not imagine that I would ever drink it again. Nevertheless, I heard from a good friend about the positive effects of urine, and after a long period of doubt, I tried it anyway. I woke up one day and knew right away that today would be the day. So I urinated into a glass, smelled it and emptied the glass in one draught. I was amazed. It tasted and smelled neutral. The only thing I found to be unpleasant was the temperature. The following morning, I decided to drink another glass of urine; however, the smell made me dump the urine immediately in the toilet. Only some time later did I consider drinking urine once again --- I had diarrhea, my partner had left me and I felt generally weak. The situation could not get much worse, and so I drank my own fresh urine the whole day. After only two or three glasses, I felt less exhausted and from that moment on, things started improving. Whenever I had trouble drinking urine because of the taste, I held my nose, drank the urine and rinsed with water. Since then, I drink my urine every day and massage my whole body with it. My dry skin is not flaky any more, and I do not have to go through life with skin cream, which was impossible before I started using urine. Furthermore, urine leaves skin with a pleasant, slightly sweet, warm scent. It is interesting to perform a ·urine-test' every morning regarding the colour, smell, taste and substance. In this way, you can learn more about your body, feelings, food, etc. It is also exciting to hear new stories about this 'unusual liquid' and to try out new recipes. For example, when I heard that, long before Christ, people used urine to do the laundry and keep the house clean, I tried an experiment myself. I mixed fresh urine with urine that was approximately 1/22 year old (it smelled like pure ammonia) and used this mixture to wash the windows. It not only dissolved the dirt on the windows, but also the paint spots and a number of other spots which I had not been able to clean with any other cleanser. The same thing happened when I cleaned a mirror with old urine. Moreover, it did not smell dirty, my hands were smooth, I could water the plants with the cleaning water without a guilty conscience, and my windows were perfectly clean! Because I have never been seriously ill, I unfortunately do not have any spectacular recoveries to report, at least not from myself. Even so, I strongly believe that urine therapy is good. This is why I continue to use urine."  The Golden Fountain by Coen van der Kroon  DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS  “He was sick when he was 60. His digestive system and circulatory system had almost gone out-of-order: For about two years be tried allopathy, homoeopathy and Ayurveda without any benefit. So he turned to drinking auto-urine and massage with 7 days old 72 urine. Within two weeks he was considerably cured and in a month’s time he was entirely free of illness.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel   DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS  “'The lady slipped and fell down. She got some inner injury resulting in disturbance of menstruation. Her system of digestion was also affected and the bowels did not work properly. She developed constipation too. First of all she had allopathic treatment and when it proved useless, Ayurvedic treatment was tried. The troubles could not be cured. Even chromopathy was tried. But due to the absence of diet control and irregular life, the condition of the woman became worse day by day and she was so emaciated that her life was in danger. Some of her relatives advised her to see me. When I observed her for the first time, her condition put me in doubt about the cure and I refused to treat her. But at persistent request, I admitted her to my hospital.  The condition of the patient was then serious. Monthly course had stopped, motions were almost absent and she passed hardly about 6 oz. of urine in 24 hours. It was of deep chocolate colour like that of a hours and was extremely ill-smelling. Inflammation was on her hands, feet, breast and eye-lids. The treatment was commenced on the basis of Armstrong's book but with a slight difference. She was made to drink as much of auto-urine as was possible for her. Warm water was also given. She was daily rubbed with urine and was given a sunbath. After sometime she was given coconut water in place of plain water. With such a treatment, the quantity of urine gradually increased to 70 to 80 oz. The inflammation was gradually reduced and other complaints were also eliminated. Leeches had applied to extract her foul blood. With such a treatment the woman was cured and led a normal life.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel  DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS  “Lance-Corporal L. — 28 years of age.   Joined New Zealand forces 1942.

, Ken Wilbur, and Barbara Marx Hubbard make the same point.
More a nd more we are coming to understand that we are something other than  the body,
other than  the mind, and yes, even other than  the soul. We are all three combined, and the
Whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts.
The Whole Being that we are is pure energy —which might be called Spirit. Your body is
an energy package. So, too, is your mind. Likewise, your soul. In short, you are a spiritual
being having a physical experience.
Physicality should be understood to be  illusory in the sense that it is neither where you are
nor who you are.
Where you really are is in the place of Pure Being. This is also who  you are. In the
Kingdom of God, who you are, where you are, when you are, and what you are, are all the
same thing.
You need to consider the implications of that statement for a while. You really do. I
mean, we all do. It is our failure to consider those implications that creates the illusion in
which we live —and the misery in which humanity is daily enmeshed.
I said tha t... who you are, where you are, when you are, and what you are, are all the
same thing. I call this same thing “God.” You can call it anything you wish, but you cannot
ignore it, nor pretend that this larger context within which Life expresses itself d oes not
exist.
We are talking here about your very Essence. This is the raw Energy of Life itself. That
Energy, that Essence is not physical, but it became  physical in order to Know Itself in its
own Experience. For this is the triumvirate expression of Divinity:

The miracle of physicality is accomplished by The Energy and The Essence through a
process that could best be described as “a quickening of the s pirit.”
The primal sound of the Universe is the lowest note in the score of God’s symphony. It is
the sound of om...  a rumble so deep, it almost sounds ominous. In recent years, deep -space
listening devices have actually been able to pick up this sound.  It is the Original Vibration. It
is The Energy and The Essence, oscillating at its slowest speed.
When this speed increases, the pitch goes up, from a deep rumble to the gentle melody
of life as we know it. Everything begins with the First Vibration. Ever ything begins with
sound (“In the beginning was the Word....”). And The Sound said, Let there be Light. And it
oscillated Itself so fast that its very Essence became white hot. And Light was born.
And then, through the simple yet elegant process of shif ting its oscillation between
various frequencies, The Energy and The Essence produced other manifestations of
physicality. And the deep sound of om became the sweet sight of life. (“And the Word was
made flesh, and dwelt among us.”)
The faster The Energy a nd The Essence vibrated —that is, the higher the frequency  of its
oscillations —the more solid that which is not solid appeared.
Think of it this way: if a point of energy can move rapidly enough in a straight line
between Point A and Point B, it will appear  to be at neither Point A nor Point B, but at every
point in between. Its incomprehensible speed makes it appear to the human eye to be
nowhere in particular at any given moment, but everywhere at once —because it is moving
so fast, we can’t “spot” it in an y single block of time and space. Therefore, the rapidity of its
movement makes it appear as a solid line  between A and B.
You can prove this to yourself with a little experiment. Paste a big black dot on the end
of a transparent straw. Now hold the straw in front of your face and move it left -to-right
against the background of a white wall. You will see the dot move, of course, and you will
be able to point out exactly where it is at any moment. Now, increase the speed with which
you move the dot, finally getting to the place where you are moving your hand back and
forth so fast that the dot cannot be seen as being in one place or the other, but, in fact, in all
places at once. If you squint just a bit this will appear to the naked eye to be a straight line.
The human mind cannot compute the data that it is seeing fast enough to keep up with
the new  data it is seeing. The data stream is faster than the mind’s ability to analyze it.
Therefore, the mind does not know what it is seeing.
The world is 2 percent m atter and 98 percent space, but it looks to us “for all the world”
as if it is exactly the other way around.
Thus, we live in a world of our illusion. Yet it was purposefully created this way by the
Originating Intelligence. The mind is a device beautifull y designed to analyze a limited
amount of data from an unlimited source. It was never intended  to comprehend all of it at
once. That is the job of the soul.
Likewise, the body is a device.
Your body is the physicalization of Spirit in a particular form in a particular place at a
particular time for a particular purpose having to do with the Particularization of Every
Particle of The All.  The All is that which is not particular. It is Everything —and therefore, it is nothing in
particular. Yet The Everything could not experience Itself as Everything, since there was
Nothing Else with which to compare it. So, It chose to individuate  Itself in order that All
That Is could experience Itself as something in particular.
This Process of Particularization created wha t I have here called the Realm of the
Physical. Again, it is a process by which the primal vibration simply increased the
frequency of its oscillation.
The All of you is wonderful —that is, full of wonder —yet your body is the least of these.
Next comes your  mind, and the most wonderful of all is your soul. Your mind is so wonder -
full that it can actually impact your body... and, indeed, all things physical.
That is, your mind can create your physical reality. I said... your mind can create your
physica l reality.
Not only can it  do this, it is doing this. Your mind is creating your reality every minute of
every day, whether you know it or not. The question is not whether the You that you are is
creating your reality, the question is only whether you are doing it consciously or
unconsciously.
You make things physical in your reality through a quickening of the Spirit. This is the
benefit of what you might call fast thinking. You know how people are praised for being a
fast thinker? There is more to that ap pellation than you might have imagined.
You would be amazed at how fast your mind can think. It can think twice as fast as it
ordinarily thinks through the simple process of ignoring all Past Data. You might call this
Skipping Past the Past. And the extrao rdinary insight is that you can instruct your mind to
do this; you can train your mind to do this.
How? How can you train your mind to ignore everything it thinks it knows about a
subject? By making a quantum leap to the awareness of the soul.
Always, in e very moment, the decision you get to make is, shall I consider the data of the
mind or the awareness of the soul? When you move to the awareness of the soul you raise
your consciousness to the top of the triangle, to the place of Being.
To be or not to be, that is the question.
Now here is the irony of how everything I’ve just described works... are you ready for
the supreme irony? This is a secret of secrets; that which no one has ever told you:
In order to access the awareness of the soul, you need to slow down.
Now wait a minute! Didn’t I just say that you had to “think fast”? Yes! You have to think
fast when things are happening around you... fast enough to tell yourself to slow down.
The fi rst thing your mind will want to do when incoming data is deluging you is analyze
the data  and present you with all your options for response. It does this very, very rapidly. In
order for you to short -circuit this process you must “think fast.” So fast th at as your mind
begins to take you deep into your Past Data about what is going on right now, you literally
stop your mind from going there. You Skip Past Your Past.
Then you re -route your energy (your mind, you know, is electrical energy! You can
physical ly measure the impulses). You route your energy to Awareness rather than Data.
This is like switching tracks in a train yard, from the track that just goes back around to where the train has just been, to a spur that takes it to a place of rest. You can do  this quite
literally on the spur of the moment, moving from the mind to the soul. You know how some
people are described as having a “one -track mind”? This is about changing that. There are
times when


 no positive biopsy ever reported.
All they could say was: "It could be cancer, but we can't find it in the biopsy."
Mother was delighted; she got to play doctor along with the best of them, while she
was relieved of part of her wealth.
Dr. Morrison and I  were devastated. We constantly asked God why such
devastating and cruel experiences were necessary when David did not even have
cancer! Maybe it was for you, the readers of this booklet for your education and
understanding. Carol and I  had seen enough, long before David.
David's Death
As a result of the very best of the Orthodox Medical Community, David's
physicians who inflicted surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, essentially committed
murder.. Such forms of murder are socially accepted. It is the standard acceptable
procedure in treating cancer victims.

To monitor the progress of your bout with "cancer" you could use the Navarro

NAVARRO BETA-HCG URINE CANCER TEST
A safe, cost-effective, non-invasive, accurate screening test for Cancer.
Send urine samples by mail to Dr. Efren F. Navarro for the Beta-HCG Urine
Immunoassay for Cancer Detection:
1. The specimen should be the first urine after midnight. For women, there
should be no sexual contact for 12 days before collecting the urine specimen.
Do not send a urine sample if the woman is pregnant. For men, no sexual
contact for 18-24 hours before.
2. Mix 50 cc (1.75 oz.) of the urine with 200 cc (7 oz.) of acetone (can be
purchased from hardware store or pharmacy) and 5 cc of 70% isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or 95% ethyl alcohol. Stir and mix well.
3. Let the mixture stand for 2 hours in refrigerator until sediment forms.
4. Throw off about half of the urine-acetone mixture without losing any
sediments. Filter the remaining mixture through a coffee filter paper or a
laboratory filter paper to retain the sediment.
5. After filtration, air-dry the filter paper with the sediments.
6. Fold the filter and place it in a plastic bag.
7. If results are wanted quickly, send the specimen by courier (FedEx, UPS, or
DHL) or by USPS Global Priority Mail to Dr. Navarro together with the
patient's name, age, sex, brief medical history and/or diagnosis, and a Xerox
copy of a money order or check for $50, made out to Erlinda N. Suarez.
Otherwise, send the specimen by regular air mail and allow 4-6 weeks for test
result delivery. Dr. Navarro's address is:

Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program
"Metabolic" pertains to metabolism: The chemical and physical processes
continuously going on in living organisms and cells, comprising those by which
assimilated food is built up (anabolism) into protoplasm and those by which
protoplasm is used and broken down (catabolism) into simpler substances or waste
matter, with the release of energy for all vital processes.
The person who has the metabolic malfunction should be addressed, not the
disease that has the person. We call our system of addressing cancer "Metabolic"
because the total person and all of his chemical and physical processes must be
considered, and new habits of health developed in order to obtain a reasonable state
of health.
We advise a very comprehensive program. It is extremely effective and inexpensive
when compared to surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Those who are willing to
faithfully and tediously follow it w ill be successful. Those who follow it in part or
haphazardly w ill be completely unsuccessful.
Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program is based on the best scientific
knowledge available and has been condensed to a simple well-balanced system. It
can be compared to a fine watch; each part must be there and functioning properly,
or it does not work at all. Each step of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program
must be followed exactly or there will not be any relief of the symptoms.
44
Winning The Cancer War
The Five Steps of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program
1. Adequate, Proper, Well-Balanced Diet (Chapter V)
2. Neurological Stimulation (Chapter VI)
3. Spiritual Attitude (Chapter VII)
4. Detoxification Of The Body (Chapter VIII)
5. Metabolic Supplementation (Chapter IX)
1. Halting or stopping the malignant growth with the use of supplemental
metabolic nutrition, is relatively simple. The growth is usually stopped from within 3
hours to 12 days of metabolic nutritional supplement support, depending upon the
amount and method of administration. This is usually noted by a sharp elevation of
body temperature lasting about three days.
2. The clinical problem in treating a cancer patient is step two, clearing the body of
accumulated toxins. This takes from 3 weeks to 18 months, depending upon the
location and mass (amount) of growth. Many cancer patients have had their tumors
successfully treated only to die of toxic poisons as the mass is dissolved and excreted
from the body. In a case such as this, the clinician treated the disease and not the
patient, or failed to treat "metabolically."
3. Diet for the cancer victim is as important as diet for the diabetic, and should be
carefully followed during the fist year of the recovery process. Later, diet can be
altered to a more acceptable program. However, for the rest of one's life food intake
and enzymes must be considered to remain "cancer-free."
4. The nerve pathways to the pancreas must remain functional, turning the
pancreas on and off as needed. When this process fails, the pancreas does not know
what to do. Osteopathic and chiropractic adjustments as well as acupuncture and
other newer neurological therapies have also proven helpful to the cancer victim.
5. Spiritual attitude often means the difference between life and death. Many are
not dedicated to the hard work and faith required for success. One patient recovered
by renting funny movies like Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin
and other noted comedians. He literally laughed himself well!
We find that the rate of recovery is subject to another law — that of blood supply.
If the rate of blood supply to an area is great, recovery is fast. If the blood supply to an
area is inadequate, recovery is very slow. Thus, we find those with leukemia respond
45
Winning The Cancer War
quickly, while those with bone afflictions have a much slower response. We have
also noted that in tumors of large diameter (three or more inches) the outside
diameter is quickly dissolved, but the interior, where there is a lack of blood supply,
often takes several months to dissolve. This is a very wonderful thing; the body has
time to detoxify, and the death rate from toxemia is greatly reduced.
The prognosis for a cancer patient is very good when the liver, kidney, and lung
functions are at least 50% of normal, and an optimistic spiritual attitude is
maintained. Unfortunately, we have found many people who have lost hope, or their
next of kin have lost hope, to the degree they were resigned to death and refused to
try our Cancer Cure Program.
Metabolic Cancer Defense
There are only two physicians: the Almighty and your own body
The pancreas is a complex organ and has many functions and purposes. We will
briefly mention three here:
A. Carbohydrate (Sugar) Metabolism.
If this pancreatic function fails, the resulting disease process is what we call
diabetes.
B. Production of Digestive Enzymes:
1. Amylase, which digests starches, glycogen and other carbohydrates.
2. Lipase, which digests


 for you. We don’t have time to wait,” or “You’re too
little.” That spark of independence, that desire to be your own per-
son, which was so alive in you as a child, was often dampened with
rely on Mommy or Daddy. If you don’t, we’ll disapprove and when
we disapprove of you, you must disapprove of yourself. The family
unit nurtures, in the form of good intentions, dependence and the
need for approval. Parents who don’t want any harm to come to
their children resolve to protect them from danger. The result,
however, is the opposite of that intended, for without the ammuni-
tion of knowing how to rely on the self in times of strife (solving
one’s own disputes, dealing with insults, fighting for honor, earning
one’s own way), it is impossible to build an arsenal of independent
behavior for a lifetime.YOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 55While you may not recall all of the approval-seeking messages
that were telegraphed to you as a child, many of them most likely
came at an early age. And while many of the check-it-out-with-
Mommy-or-Daddy messages were important for your own safety
and health, others were sent to teach you a critical concept—proper
behavior, behavior that will win approval. That approval, which
should have been a given, became contingent upon your pleasing
someone else. The important point here is not that approval isn’t
important, but rather that it should be given to a child freely, not
bestowed as a reward for proper conduct. A child should never be
encouraged to confuse his own self-esteem with anyone else’s ap-
proval.
Approval-Seeking Messages from School
When you left home and arrived in school, you entered an institu-
tion that is designed expressly to instill approval-seeking thinking
and behavior. Ask permission to do everything. Never bank on your
own judgment. Ask the teacher to go to the bathroom. Sit in a partic-
ular seat. Don’t leave it under penalty of a demerit. Everything was
geared toward other-control. Instead of learning to think you were
being taught not to think for yourself. Fold your paper into sixteen
squares, and don’t write on the folds. Study chapters one and two
tonight. Practice these words in spelling. Draw like this. Read that.
You were taught to be obedient. And if in doubt, check it out with
the teacher. If you should incur the teacher’s, or worse yet, the
principal’s wrath, you were expected to feel guilty for months. Your
report card was a message to your parents telling them how much
approval you had won.
If you look at the philosophy of your school, which was quite
likely written down under the pressure of an accreditation team
visit, you will very likely see a statement worded something like
this:56 / Your Erroneous ZonesWe, at Anywhere High School, believe in the full educational
development of each student. The curriculum is arranged so
as to meet the individual needs of every student in our school.
We strive for, and promote the self-actualization and individual
development of our student body…etc., etc., etc.
How many schools or teachers dare to put these words into action.
Any student who begins to show signs of self-actualization and
personal mastery is quickly put in his place. Students who are inde-
pendent, full of self-love, not susceptible to guilt and worry, are
systematically labeled troublemakers.
Schools are not good at dealing with kids who show signs of inde-
pendent thinking. In too many schools approval-seeking is the way
to success. The old clichés of teacher’s pet and apple polishing are
clichés for a reason. They exist—and work. If you gain the acclama-
tion of the staff, behave in the ways that they dictate, study the cur-
riculum that is laid out in front of you, you’ll emerge successful.
Albeit with a strong need for approval, since self-reliance has been
discouraged at virtually every turn.
By the time a student reaches intermediate school he has usually
learned the approval lesson. Asked by his counselor what he would
like to take in high school, he responds with “I dunno, you tell me
what I need.” In high school he may have a difficult time making
decisions about what to take, and will feel much more comfortable
with the decisions that are made for him. In the classroom he’ll learn
not to question what he is told. He’ll learn to write a theme properly
and the correct interpretations of Hamlet.  He will learn to write pa-
pers based not on his own judgment and opinions, but on quotes
and references that will substantiate everything he says. If he doesn’t
learn these things he’ll be punished with low grades—and the
teacher’s disapproval. And by the time he is ready to graduate, he’ll
find it difficult to make a decision for himself, because for twelveYOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 57straight years he has been told how to think and what to think. He
has been fed on a solid diet of check it out with the teacher, and now,
on graduation day, he is unable to think for himself. So he covets
approval, and learns that gaining the sanction of others is tantamount
to being successful and happy.
At college the same pattern of indoctrination continues. Write two
term papers, use the correct format, set your margins at 16 and 84,
make sure it is typed, have an introduction—body—and conclusion,
study these chapters…. The big assembly line. Conform, please your
professors and you’ll make it. When a student finally gets into a
seminar where the professor says: “This semester you can study
whatever you want in your field of interest. I will help you in your
selection and the pursuit of your interest, but it’s your education,
and you can do with it as you please. I will help you all that I can.”
Panic sets in. “But how many papers do we have to do?”, “When
are they due?”, “Do you want it typed?”, “What books should we
read?”, “How many examinations?”, “What kind of questions?”,
“How long do our papers have to be?”, “Where do we set the mar-
gins?”, “Do I have to come to class every day?”
These are the questions of an approval-seeker and it’s not the least
bit surprising in view of the educational methods we’ve examined.
The student has been trained to do it for someone else, to please the
professor, and to measure up to someone else’s standards. His
queries are the end product of a system that demands approval-
seeking for survival. He is terrified of thinking for himself. It is just
easier and safer to do what someone else expects.
Approval-Seeking Messages from other Institutions
We acquire approval-seeking symptoms from other sources as
well. Certainly the church has been a big influence in this area.58 / Your Erroneous ZonesYou must please Jehovah, or Jesus, or someone external to yourself.
The leaders of the church have misconstrued the teachings of the
great religious leaders and attempted to teach conformity by using
fear of retribution as a weapon. Thus, a man behaves morally not
because he believes it to be appropriate for him, but because God
wants him to behave that way. If in doubt, consult the command-
ments rather than yourself and what you believe. Behave because
someone has told you to and because you will be punished if you
don’t, not because you know it to be the right behavior for you. Or-
ganized religion appeals to your approval-seeking needs. It may
produce the same behavior that you would have chosen, but you
haven’t chosen it freely.
Using yourself as a guide and not needing the approval of an
outside force is the most religious experience you can have. It is a
veritable religion of the self in which an individual determines his
own behavior based upon his own conscience and the laws of his
culture that work for him, rather than because someone has dictated
how he should  behave. A careful look at Jesus Christ will reveal an
extremely self-actualized person, an individual who preached
self-reliance, and was not afraid to incur disapproval. Yet many of
his followers have twisted his teachings into a catechism of fear and
self-hate. (See Chapter XII for a complete description of a self-actu-
alized individual.)
The government is another example of an institution that uses
approval-seeking as a motivator for conformity. “Don’t trust yourself.
You haven’t got the skills and wherewithal to function alone. We’ll
take care of you. We’ll withhold your taxes because you would spend
them before your tax bill came due. We’ll force you to join Social
Security because you wouldn’t be able to decide for yourself—or
save for yourself. You don’t have to think for yourself, we’ll regulate
your life for you.” And so you see many examples of the government
going beyond their responsibility of providing essential services and
governing society.YOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 59There are more rules on the books than there are people to disobey
them. If someone decided to enforce every rule that exists, you would
find yourself in violation of the law hundreds of times a day.

orte to me an account of the urine treatment
of a racing mare on 14-1-61:
"Shri S. N. Shipra is a resident of Madanpura area in Bombay. His
grey-coloured mare used to be indisposed. Soon after the purchase
she was emaciated and had considerably weakened by the time
she arrived at Bombay. Her poor state of health was supposed to be
due to underfeeding during the course of train journey.
"A W2ek after her arrival at her master's house, an examination of
her stools was made. After some treatment, it became apparent that
she urinated profusely and at short intervals. After a few days blood
appeared in her urine. To check its flow with urine she was made to
drink a mixture of Hexamine, Soda Sulphate and a Map-sulfthrough
a pipe. The bleeding ceased after a couple of days but the quantity
of urine could not be checked.
An examination of her urine revealed 20% sugar content. I
decided to make her drink her own urine through a pipe; She passed
nearly 4 lb. of urine every day. The entire urine was collected and
was given on the next day. She was given to drink seven pipes full
of urine in this way.
"Some change was noticed in her condition after drinking four
tubes full of urine and she started grazing normally after taking
urine for the seventh time. The frequecy of urination and the
quantity decreased. Sugar content in her urine now was only
0.3/4%. In the meantime some one came to bargain for her. The DISEASES OF THE KIDNEY : 139
owner got a good price for the mare and she left Bombay with her
new owner hale and hearty."
It is now proved that as a human disease is eliminated by
auto-urine, so diseases of animals can also be cured thereby. The
truth that holds good for man is equally good for animals.

CHAPTER XIII
GOUT
1. Stiffening of Vertebral CCJiumn : Shri Ambalal K. Patel, s.sc., LL.B.,
Superintendent of Ahmedabad Municipal Stores, writes in his letter:
111 suffered from pleurisy, gout and stiffening of the vertebral
column (spondylitis); whitish grey phlegm, frothy in appearance
was produced in large quantities. As soon as I would leave my
usual work, lesion would start. Such was my condition since 1952.
From 15-5-58 to 21-5-58 I rubbed my whole body with urine and
from L2-5-58 I started drinking urine and continued it up to 27-5-58
along with fasting. During this treatrr.ent, heat erruptions appeared
on the whole body, but as I knew that it was only a reaction due to
this treatment, I did not get alarmed. Within a short time, the
erruptions subsided of their own accord. Rubbing and drinking of
·,Jrine produced a wonderful effect. On the last day of my fast and
the la~2r two days, i.e. 30th & 31st, urine was tasteless like disrilled
water. Th.:: trouble of phlegm disappeared on the very first day of GOUT,: 141
taking urine. Cold and pain in the ribs also vanished. I could sleep
in the nights without covering myself because there was no trace of
cold, phlegm and pleurisy. Gout and stiffness (spondyalitis) also
became extremely mild. Stiffness in my neck also disappeared and it
became flexible again. The skin became responsive, tender and
healthy. In brief urine treatment gave me excellent and unique
results. Still I occasionally drink and rub urine and my health is
maintained normally.11
2. Stiffness of the Vertebral column & Swelling :. An account of
Shri Chaturbhai Bhailalbhai of Mogari village in 'Kaira District has
already been given. He also cured his daught~r-in-law. Here is a
brief account.
His daughter-in-law had a sprain in her vertebral column which
developed particularly ·in the fourth and fifth ver:tebral where
swelling appeared. She was unable to look. straight, forward or sid~
ways, due to intense pain. There was no comfortable sleep_. She was
taken to Bombay and was subjected to radium-rays on doctor1s
advice. But there was no relief at all. Thereafter she was admitted to
Mission Hospitai,_Anand. The Plaster of Paris was fixed on her back
and for full 3 1/2 months she kept to her bee!. But there was no
improvement at all. The pain became more intense day by day.
Finally she was urged to adopt, urine.treatment. The experiment
started with rubbing. After seven days, some improvement was
noticed in her condition. With the rubbing of 15 days, she swelling
on the vertebral collfmn showed tenden.cy to disappear. She was
also made to fast on.urine for a few days as required. Within a
month she was completely cured.
3. Gout : Shri Purushottambhai S. Patel (nephew of the late
Sardar Patel), resides in. the New Brahmakshatriya Society,
Ahmedabad. For the past four years, he was suffering from gout.
The finger joints, shoulders and knees, etc. developed stiffness and
there was pain too. Gradually the trouble affected the whole body
and lost its suppleness. Though he used to take medicine, there was
no relief at all.
U. T.-12 t'
. I 142 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
He came to know of my efforts regarding urine therapy and paid
me a visit. I advised him and gave instructions. In the meanwhile he
went on a visit to Hardwar along with his family. He stayed there
for a month on the banks of holy Ganges and started urine regularly
because of his going outdoors frequently for sight-seeing. Thus
during his stay at Hardwar, he rubbed for 20 days in all which
completely eiminated the pain in his
