 l to participate in what’s
unfolding, instead of fighting it? What would be the
quality of the life that unfolds? Would it just be random
events with no order or meaning, or would the same
perfection of order and meaning that manifests in the
rest of the universe manifest in the everyday life around
us?
What we have here is the  basis for an amazing
experiment. At  the heart of the experiment is a simple
question: Am I better off making up an alternate reality
in my mind and then fighting with reality to make it bemy way, or am  I better off letting go of what I want and
serving the same forces of reality that managed to create
the entire perfection of the universe around me? This
experiment would not be about dropping out of life; it
would b e about leaping into life to live in a place where
we are no longer controlled  by our personal fears and
desires. For lack of a better n ame, I have called this “the
surrender expe riment,” and to the best of my ability, I
have devoted the last forty years of my life to seeing
where the flow of life’s event s would naturally take me.
What happene d over the course of these four decades is
nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did things not fall
apart, quite the opposite happened. As one thing
naturally followed the other, the flow of life’s events led
me on a journey that wou ld have been beyond my
comprehension. This book shares that journey with you
so that you can experience what happened when
someone dared to let go and trust the flow of life.
Let it be clear right from the  start, however, that this
type of surren der does not mean living life without the
assertion of will. My story of  these forty years is simply
the stor y of what happened when the assertion of will
was guided by what life wa s doing instead of what I
wanted it to be doing. My personal experience is that
aligning one’s will with the natural forces unfolding
around us leads to some surprisingly powerful results.
The onl y effective way to shar e the results of this great
experiment is to allow you to see how I got pulled into
living this way and then al low you to experience the
journey as I did. In what follows, you are about to
encounter a set of life experi ences that are bound to be
very different from your own.  I share these with you only
because as human beings w e have the extraordinary
ability to learn from one another’s experiences. You don’t
have to live a s I did in order to be affected by what
happened to me. The unexpected events that unfolded
before me not only changed my life, they changed myentire view of life and left me with a sense of deep inner
peace. Hopefully, sharing my surrender experiment with
you will encourage you to find a more peaceful and
harmonious wa y to live your life and to better appreciate
the amazing perfection that unfolds around us.1.
N o t  w i t h  a  S h o u t — B u t  w i t h  a  W h i s p e r
M y giv en name i s Michael Alan Singer. From as far back
as I can remem ber, everyone has called me Mickey. I was
born M ay 6, 1947, and lived a fairly ordinary life until the
winter of 1970. Then something happened to me that
was so profoun d that it forev er changed the direction of
my life.
Life-changing events can be very dramatic and, by
their very nature, disruptive. Your whole being is headed
in o ne direction physically, emotionally, and mentally;
and that direction has all th e momentum of your past
and all the dreams of your future. Then suddenly, there’s
a major earthquake, a terrible sickness, or a chance
encounter that totally sweep s you off your feet. If the
event is powerful enough to  change the focus of your
heart and mind, the rest of your life will change in due
course. You are literally not the same person on both
sides o f a truly life-chang ing event. Your interests
change, your goals change, in fact, the underlying
purpose of your life change s. It usually takes a very
powerful event to turn your head around so far that you
never look back.
But not always.
In the winter o f 1970, no suc h event happened to me.
What happene d was so sub tle, so faint, that it could
easily have passed by without being noticed. It was not
with a shout but with a whisp er that my life was thrown
into utter turmoil and transformation. It has been more
than forty years now since that life-changing moment,
but I remember it as if it were yesterday.I was sitting on the living room couch in my home in
Gainesville, Florida. I was twenty-two years old and
married at the time to a beautiful soul named Shelly. We
were both students at the Un iversity of Florida where I
was doi ng my graduate work in economics. I was a very
astute student, and I was being groomed by the
chairman of the economics department to become a
college professor. Shelly had a brother, Ronnie, who was
a very successful attorney in Chicago. Ronnie and I
became close friends even though we were from totally
different world s. He was a powerful, wealth-driven, big-
city at torney, and I was a ’60s-groomed, college-
intellectual hi ppie. It is worth mentioning just how
analytically oriented I was at the time. I had never even
taken a philosophy, psychology, or religion course while
in college. My electives at school were symbolic logic,
advanced calculus, and theoretical statistics. This makes
what happened to me all the more amazing.
Ronnie would come down once in a while to visit, and
we would often just hang out together. As it turns out,
Ronnie was sitting on that co uch with me on that fateful
day in 1970. I  don’t remember exactly what we were
talking about, but there had been a lull in our leisurely
conversation. I noticed I was uncomfortable with the
silence and found myself thin king of what to say next. I
had been in similar situations many times before, but
something wa s quite different about this experience.
Instead of simply being uncomfortable and trying to find
something to say, I noticed  t ha t I was uncomfortable and
trying to find s omething to say. For the first time in my
life, my mind and emotions were something I was
watching instead of being.
I know that it is difficult to put into words, but there
was a complete sense of separation between my anxious
mind, which was spewing out possible topics to talk
about, a nd me, the one who  was simply aware that my
mind was doing this. It was like I was suddenly able toremain above my mind and quietly watch the thoughts
being c reated. Believe it or n ot, that subtle shift in my
seat of awareness became a tornado that rearranged my
entire life.
For a few mom ents, I just sat there inwardly watching
myself t ry to “fix” the awkward silence. But I was not the
one trying to f ix it; I was the one quietly watching the
activity of my mind trying t o fix it. At first there were
only a few deg rees of separation between me and what I
was watching. But every second the separation seemed to
become greate r and greater. I was not doing anything to
cause this shift. I was just the re noticing that my sense of
me  no longer included the neurotic thought patterns that
were passing in front of me.
This e ntire process of “becoming aware” was
practically instantaneous. It was like when you stare at
one of those posters that has a hidden picture inside. At
first it appears to be just a cir cle with line patterns. Then,
suddenly, you see an entire 3-D image emerge from what
originally looked like chaos. Once you see it, you can’t
imagine how you hadn’t seen it before. It was right there!
Such was the s hift that happened inside of me. It was so
obvious—I wa s in there w atching my thoughts and
emotions. I had always been in there watching, but I had
been too unaware to notice. It was as though I had been
so invo lved in their details that I never saw them as just
thoughts and emotions.
Within seconds, what previously seemed like
important solu tions for how to break the uncomfortable
silence was now sounding like a neurotic voice talking
inside my head. I watched as that voice tried out things
to say:
The weather’s been awesome, hasn’t it?
Did you hear what Nixon did the other day?
Do you want to get something to eat?When I finally did open my mouth to say something,
what I said was:
“Have y ou ever noticed that there’s this voice
talking inside your head?”
Ronnie looked  at me a little w eird, and then a spark lit
in his eyes. He said, “Yes, I see what you’re talking about
—mine never shuts up!” I distinctly remember making a
joke ou t

’s (glucocorticoid)
steroids that
mediates inflammation. Catabolic (breakdown) processes in the
body generally cause acidosis, hence inflammation. This process can produce
a great amount of inflammation and tissue damage. This damage stimulates
the adrenal glands to increase cortisol production, which can cause further
inflammation.
Also, excess production of cortisol from the adrenal glands can affect
blood pressure by increasing or reducing the loss of sodium in the urine,
because cortisol increases protein breakdown and decreases protein synthesis.
It affects all the other tissues in the body. Especially hard hit is your muscletissue. All this is initiated by acidosis and heads one down the road to disease
and degeneration. It affects the aging of the skin, promotes osteoporosis by
reducing TSHs, which reduces the production of thyroid hormone, which
eventually leads to hypothyroidism. Remember, the thyroid gland is
responsible for the body’s calcium utilization. Caffeine, soda, and tea can also
enhance the production of excessive cortisol.
All these steroid-type hormones are synthesized from cholesterol, which
also acts like or is used by the body as an anti-inflammatory agent or lipid.
All things happen for a reason. If your cholesterol is building up on vascular
walls or in tissues, what does that tell you? Remember that cholesterol is an
anti-inflammatory agent or lipid. If it is building up in your body or if your
liver is producing too much of it, this tells you that you have too much
inflammation in your body.
Since most people choose to eat a predominantly acid-forming diet, over-
acidic (acidosis) conditions of the body (both systemic and cellular) begin to
take place. Acidosis and inflammation are virtually the same thing. Added to
acidic diets are the acid-type hormones. Females produce testosterone and a
lot of estrogen, which are acid-type hormones. Each month ovarian estrogen
is produced in large amounts, which breaks down the inner lining of the
uterine wall, causing the monthly menstruation cycle. Men
also produce the
acidic hormones testosterone and androsterone. These are aggressive-type
hormones. They effect many different cellular changes from the breakdown
of tissue to the increased growth of tissue … all types of tissue, from hair
(pubic, facial, etc.) to muscle tissue. These hormones affect sexual behavior,
increase blood flow and cause erections. These acid-type hormones in men
and women are naturally counterbalanced by the body with the production of
progesterone and other steroids, which are anti-inflammatory and produced
in the adrenal glands. When these acid-type hormones are over-produced, or
not balanced by steroids, they can cause inflammation in tissues.
Adrenal Gland Weakness
Low adrenal gland
(medulla)
 function causes low blood pressure from
insufficient neurotransmitters and starts a process of nerve disorders,
breathing problems, and heart arrhythmias.
Low adrenal gland
(cortex)
 function causes insufficient steroid
production leading to acidosis and inflammation.

You can begin to see how inflammation is developed in the body
through diet and hormone imbalance (from glandular weaknesses). This
inflammation leads to tissue failure and death. This is why it is essential that
our endocrine gland system functions properly and remains in balance. When
the endocrine glands become hypo- (under) or hyper- (over) active, this
creates many disease symptoms.
As you can see, when inflammation goes unchecked by proper steroid
activity, this inflammation begins to harden and destroy tissue. Long-terminflammation leads to devastation of tissues, leading to tissue (cellular) death.
Another extremely important factor, as previously stated, is the
inflammation in the vascular system (vasculitis, phlebitis, etc.) from over-
acidic diets. When the adrenals do not produce enough steroids to fight the
inflammation, we find that the body will use cholesterol directly. This causes
our vascular system to become occluded (blocked) from plaqued cholesterol.
PANCREAS
(Also see The Digestive System, previously covered in
Module 2.6
)
Your pancreas is both an endocrine and an exocrine gland, meaning that
it produces hormones
(insulin) that are secreted directly into the blood (endocrine), and other
substances (enzymes, etc.) that are secreted by ducts (exocrine).
The endocrine portion consists of cells called islets of Langerhans, which
secrete various hormone-like substances that assist the body in utilization
and energy factors. The various cells that comprise the islets of
Langerhans are as follows:
Alpha cells secrete glucagon, which increases blood glucose levels by
stimulating the liver to convert stored glycogen to glucose. Glucagon also
increases the use of fats and excess amino acids, for use as energy.
Beta cells secrete insulin, which decreases blood glucose levels. Insulin
acts as a “driver” that transports glucose through cell membrane walls. It
facilitates the conversion of glucose to glycogen and is thought to be
involved in amino acid synthesis.
Delta cells secrete somatostatin, which inhibits:
the secretion of glucagon
the secretion of insulin
a growth hormone from the anterior portion of the pituitary gland
the secretion of gastrin from the stomach

OVARIES

The ovaries are two almond-shaped glands found in the female of a species.
The ovaries have two functions. One is to produce the reproductive cell(ovum) and the other is to produce hormones. In humans, the ovaries are
found on each side of the pelvic cavity, each attached to the uterus. Each
ovary consists of two parts: the cortex (or outer portion) and the medulla (or
inner portion).
The cortex (outer portion) consists of mainly various types of follicles
(small sacs). Each follicle (or sac) has an ovum (egg) and a small, yellow
endocrine gland (corpus luteum).
This gland (corpus luteum) secretes both estrogen and progesterone. It
should be noted that pro-hormones from the adrenal glands are necessary for
proper progesterone production in the corpus luteum. The FSH (Follicle
Stimulating Hormone) from the hypothalamus induces the release of the
ovum (egg). The estrogen-releasing hormone—the LH (Luteinizing
Hormone)— comes from the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. Both of
these are vital to proper ovulation.
Hormones
One of the major problems that you or your healthcare practitioner face is
how to make tissues (including organs and glands) respond after they have
become hypoactive, especially to the point of chronic or degenerative states.
This is a question that all practitioners should ask themselves. The one thing
that you do not want to do is to treat the symptoms that are the effect of this
underactivity, especially by supplementing the by-product (hormones,
enzymes, steroids, neurotransmitters, etc.) that the tissue (gland) makes and
provides for your body.
Examples of this are hormones like estrogen (ovarian) or thyroxine
(thyroid). When you supplement what your body naturally supplies, you stop
that particular tissue from producing it. I learned that when you take
synthroid (a synthetic form of thyroxine), it makes your thyroid glands even
weaker. This is true of all the hormones, including DHEA, melatonin, etc.
You do not want to supply a hormone (or substance) that your body needs to
produce. Again, this will shut down your body’s ability to produce these
substances. This is because your body sees no need to produce these catalysts
if they are already present. This eventually makes the respective gland even
weaker.

Estrogen is an acid-type hormone that stimulates tissues in many different
ways. The most notable way is the stimulating of the inner lining of the uterus
to bleed each month, causing menstruation. It is also used for developmentand maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics, like breast size and
shape. Estrogen affects the shape of the female body. A female also produces
a form of estrogen in her liver, fat cells and adrenal glands.
Estrogen must always be counterbalanced by a steroid called
progesterone. Progesterone is a steroid produced in the ovaries and the
adrenal glands. Progesterone needs a pro-hormone, DHEA, produced in the
adrenal glands, to be properly produced. Therefore, when the adrenal glands
are hypoactive, this can affect the production and release of progesterone,
leaving a woman estrogen dominant. This causes a domino effect, creating
extensive cellular acidosis, and leads to ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids,
fibrocystic issues, female cancers and other conditions.

SECTION III - ANTI-MICROBIAL EFFECT

Extracts of Aloe Vera have been shown to possess anti-bacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal/yeast effects.
This action is mediated by both the gel and the sap but by far the most potent in vitro effects are seen by the anthraquinones in the sap. Whereas in vitro the anti-viral effects are mediated through the long chain
sugars which can be consumed orally or injected.

Los  ANGELES.  CALIFORNIA
Beloved  Children  of the Light!  I congratulate  you,  on the
preparation  and  position  in which  your  Application  has
placed  you  today.  We  shall  begin  Our  Activity,  as I did
with  the  Substance  in Chananda's  Home!  I am standing
here  by Saint  Germain's  Chair—the  first  time,  I have
brought  Myself  on to the stage!  I will  pass  My Mighty  Rays
to you  from  My  Forehead,  Throat  and  Heart!  May  you
realize  This  is the  Observation  of Life,  of you  and  your
world;  for the coming  activity  of the six months  before  you.
It is Our  Desire  to hasten,  to intensify  the Expansion  of
Your  Light  as rapidly  as possible,  owing  to the  require-
ments  at this  time.  Therefore,  if there  are any  in the room
who  do not wish  Me  to do so, just  send  Me your  thought
and I shall  pass  you  by. This  is a Definite  Activity  of Life,
and while  little  is understood  in the outer  world,  yet We
understand  It quite  well.  If you  care  to co-operate  with  My
Sincere  Efforts,  which  are  Infinite,  then  you  will  profit
greatly  by It.
The Western  World  has  been  unaccustomed  to these
more  Idealistic  Great  Laws  of Life,  which  you  are coming
into now!  So, if you  do not understand  all that  I do or call
to your  attention,  please  just  accept  It. Your  Heart  knows!
384 DISCOURSE  XXIII  385
Your  Higher  Mental  Body  knows.  Your  Higher  Mental
Bodies  have  called  to Me to render  This  Service!  It is not
only  of My Volition,  but It is the Call  of your  Life,  which
causes  Me to be here  today,  to render  This  Service!  There-
fore,  the Greater  Part  of the Activity  will  take  place  thru
your  feeling  world;  thru  the atomic  structure  of your  body
in the Expansion  of the Points  of Light  which  are there.  As
you realize  it, please  hold  yourselves  as quiet  as possible,
and no matter  what  I might  say  during  the  Dictation,
please  just  remain  seated.  Today,  I wish  you  to remain  as
quiet  as possible,  in order  to render  This  Service.
In rendering  My  Service  to Bob,  Rex,  Nada,  Pearl,  this
Good  Messenger  and  those  who  were  present  in Chananda's
Home,  it was  an Eternal—an  Ever-lasting  Thing.  THERE
ARE  THOUSANDS  AMONG  THE  STUDENTS,
HUNDREDS  WHO  ARE  HERE,  FOR  WHOM  IT
IS POSSIBLE  TO  MAKE  THE  ASCENSION,  THRU
THE  NEW  DISPENSATION!  I ask  all of you,  even
though  you  might  be here  for the first  time,  to please  accept
That,  as a Possible  Activity  in your  experience.  Thus,  you
will make  and  hold  yourselves  ready  for all your  Stream
of Life  wishes  to do.
Remember,  We never  perform  a Service  of This  Kind  for
any one,  unless  your  own  Life  Stream  is calling  to Us, be-
cause  It is the Authority  for you.  We  may  render  many
other  kinds  of Service,  but This  is only  at the Call  of your
own  Life  Stream!  Since  It is such  a Definite  Action,  I ask
you in the future,  no matter  what  conditions  confront  you, 386 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
to remain  as poised  in Self-control  as possible!  OUR  AC-
TIVITY  WILL  GO  ON,  DAY  AND  NIGHT  WHILE
YOUR  BODIES  SLEEP  AND  ALSO  WHILE  THEY
ARE  WAKING.  IT IS A CONSTANT  ACTIVITY
WHICH  WILL  GO  ON,  IN ITS  CLEANSING,  PURI-
FYING  ACTION  OF  PERFECTION.  SINCE  THE
GODDESS  OF  PURITY  HAS  COME  FORTH,  LIFE
DEMANDS  THIS  SERVICE  BE  RENDERED  YOU.
Never  in the  outer  world,  has  anything  been  so mag-
nificent  as This  Class,  for all who  have  been  privileged  to
be present.  That  is the reason  for Our  Service  coming  to
you today.  Life  is holding  All in Its Magnificent  Readiness
for release  to you.  Beloved  Ones,  in the lack  of understand-
ing, Oh how  you  have  pushed  aside,  as it were—some  of
you for several  life times,  the Magnificent  Perfection  which
Life—I  cannot  quite  say struggled  to bring  forth,  because
Life in Itself  never  struggles—but  thru  the Higher  Mental
Body,  saw  the possibility  of giving  to you.  Your  feeling
often  caused  a tremendous  struggle  in trying  to free  Itself,
and reach  out for the Blessings,  which  It knew  were  there;
but when  the attention  was  held  so powerfully  on the con-
ditions  of the outer  world,  the appearance  world,  the feeling
was not able  to release  the Blessing  of Life.
That  is why,  if you  understand  the Great  Extreme  Priv-
ilege  which  is yours  in Our  Understanding  of Life;  you
will see how  in co-operating  with  It, today,  you  have  made
it possible  for This  Service  to be rendered.  Please  do not
pass any human  opinions  about  what  I shall  do. You  know DISCOURSE  XXIII  387
nothing  about  it; but  I know  exactly  what  I AM  doing,
and I AM  doing  it! Therefore,  be kind  enough  to accept
ALL  I offer,  even  though  you  might  be here  for the first
time.  Later  you  will  see and  understand  why  It has  been
done.
The need  of mankind  today  is so great,  every  possible
effort  Life  can permit,  is being  made;  and  I know  many  of
you have  sufficient  Release  of Light,  to understand  the Im-
port of My  Words,  and  that  which  I shall  do for you


 same
individual. The finding of such multiple cancers is becoming more and more common. In one case four different kinds of cancer inside of the skull were found in one individual. (Dr. Sachs, of St. Louis.) It is quite probable that in the past multiple tumors
and cancers in the same individual were not found with as great a frequency as they now
are because at post mortem examinations they were not suspected and not looked for.
There are many kinds of tumor growths that are not cancerous which undoubtedly
spring from the same or nearly the same factors as cancer. These benign tumors are much more common than malignant tumors (cancers). In the case of the benign tumor,
there is in the beginning a distinct urge to grow. This urge to grow is undoubtedly
brought about by irritation from locally deposited microorganisms. The benign tumor
reproduces cells of the organ or tissue in wh ich the growth starts. It grows for a time
and then stops; or it may not have completely stopped, but continues at an exceedingly slow rate of growth. This distinguishes it gr ossly from cancer, as cancer continues to
grow steadily and with relative rapidity. In benign tumors the cells become mature before dividing. In cancer they divide while they are still baby cells.
   Since the internal forms of cancer follow exactly the same pattern as the external
forms, in that they must have a suitable infected soil on which to grow, the disease may be classed as one of the forms in which infection may terminate. The pathologist teaches us that infection may terminate as scar tissue or as calcification. We must add to
this that infection may terminate as tumor or cancer.

 CHAPTER VIII
NUTRITIONAL TREATMENT OF ANEMIA
   Diseases of the blood which are definitely deficiency diseases are the iron anemias
and pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia is due to an unidentified food factor which is
supplied by eating liver, but which undoubtedly exists also in other foods. A lack of this
factor interferes with the proper manufacture of  blood. Before the discovery of liver as a
remedy, these patients ran a typical course which always resulted in death. At the
present time, the use of liver in the diet  will bring the blood-making organs up to a
relatively better condition. The patient is never cured, but by the use of liver and liver
extract he is permitted to continue his life in a rather subnormal way.
   The person with pernicious anemia gets along on this regime for a few years. The
liver treatment has had the effect of somewhat extending the life period, but this is the
best that may be said for it. The sufferer from pernicious anemia is suffering from a lack of more than one food factor. The usual medical treatment followed considers only one
single deficiency and pays no attention to other subclinical deficiencies which are also
present but in a lesser degree. In the usua l treatment of this disease one outstanding
function which has caused the alteration in the blood is treated, the others are neglected,
and the neglected parts of the problem eventual ly cause death at an earlier time than if
the whole problem were properly considered.
   This same principle is true but in a much more obvious way in connection with the
iron anemias. The person suffering with an iron anemia has the anemia as an
outstanding symptom of a multiple symptom complex. A lack of iron carrying the
oxygen in the blood stream has caused symptoms to build up which throws all other
signs and symptoms into the background. It is really a multiple deficiency but the doctor sees only the need for iron, and gives only iron as a therapeutic measure.
   The result of this is that many persons go about with partial disease, relying for relief
only on iron. The only point considered by the average physician is, which kind of iron should be given in this particular case? and which kind of iron is most economical for
the patient to use? Volumes have been written on the relative merits of different kinds
of iron in treating the iron anemias; but no at tention whatever is given to the associated
deficiencies that afflict patients with iron anemias.
   In some cases physicians have departed in some degree from treading a narrow path in
these secondary anemias, and discovered that the patient who refuses to get better with
just iron alone will immediately become much better if vitamin B is added to the iron.
The blood picture and the general condition will improve. Other physicians have noted
that the patient who has ceased to respond and whose blood pictures does not get back
to normal will be much better and will recover something approaching a normal blood picture does not get back to normal will be much the average internist and the average
general physician are concerned, here the ma tter rests in a fog. The main group believe
in giving iron alone. One group is sold on the idea of giving iron with vitamin B.
Another group believes that the best results are obtained by giving the iron with vitamin
C. Apparently on none has the true situation dawned that these patients who are deficient in iron are deficient in all the vita mins and also in the minerals calcium and
iodine. [Editorial note from soilandhealth.org: there is an incomprehensibility about this paragraph which does not seem resolvable. Obviously there was a major,
overlooked typographical error here.]
   An examination of the food intake of anemic persons will disclose the fact that the
sick person has been living on a diet which is largely composed of devitaminized and
devitalized carbohydrates, and this has cut down in his diet not only iron, but all
vitamins, calcium, iodine, and the trace minerals.
   The person suffering with pernicious anemia has very much the same kind of an
etiology. In his case the deficiency is a multiple deficiency, but by some freak the thing
in which he is most deficient is the so-called extrinsic factor which has to do with the
manufacture of red corpuscles, and which may be had in its greatest concentration in
liver.
   As an example of the failure to evaluate properly the causative factors in the anemias
among presumably well informed physicians, a certain faculty meeting may be cited.
This was a meeting of the faculty of one of the class A medical colleges. The subject for
discussion at this meeting was the Iron Anemias. Specialists in internal medicine,
surgeons, neurologists, general practitioners, and pathologists joined in the discussion,
which continued over two hours. During the whole evening, not one word was said about the needs of the patient suffering with secondary anemia for any other therapeutic
item except iron. The discussion took up matter s concerning what preparations of iron
should be used; what dosage should be used; how the dose should be given (by mouth
or hypodermically), and the economic side of the question--which kind of iron was best
and cheapest for the patient.
   This kind of iron treatment for secondary anemia was in practical use in the Hospital
connected with this medical school. Treating such patients with iron alone would, of course, only temporarily restore the patient to some degree of improvement. In many
cases it would do no good whatever. In no case would it give the optimum treatment to
the patient, as all these patients were suffering from a deficiency in other minerals as
well as iron, and all were suffering multiple vitamin deficiency.

 CHAPTER IX
WHAT MUST BE DONE
   Since the most important thing in connection with medical practice is not treatment of
the person's illness, but a clear understanding of the causes which brought about the illness, this same thing is true when applied to the population as a whole. If the population of a town, state, or nation suffers from some particular kind of disease, the fact the disease is so circumscribed is a great help in working out the cause. In
connection with the diseases incident to diet deficiencies, there is no such aid or
assistance. The deficiencies cover our own nation and in different degrees affect the
population of every civilized country in the world. Diet deficiencies, contrary to general
belief, also are a serious problem with savage  and uncivilized peoples. In the islands of
the Pacific Ocean, varieties of food are not easily accessible. Where the geographical
limitations make it necessary for the persons living there to subsist on the products of
their particular island, no great variety is possible. Such populations are always badly
nourished.
   This same thing is true in connection with the savages of Australia and Africa, and the
low-class populations of India and Siberia. While these peoples suffer geographical
limitations, they are also subject to tribal limitations. Their area of activity is limited on account of hostile neighbors. Their food supply is therefore limited as to variety. The
healthiest and strongest of the North American Indians, before the white man
completely dominated the country, attacked and routed their weaker neighbors and stole their food. They enjoyed a better diet. It is difficult to say whether the aggressive Sioux tribes were more fortunate because they conquered their neighbors and were therefore
better fed, or whether the good food produced in their particular areas gave them a
better diet, and therefore stronger muscles and better nerves and brains, which in turn
gave them dominance over their neighbors. At any rate, among the savage peoples of
the world, food supply has determined domination, and lack of proper food supply has caused the enslavement of those unfortunates who had the lesser degrees of nutrition.
   In order to attain the optimum, all the scientific assistance available should be brought
into the problem, in the same manner that the best engineering skill is brought into play
in


 within your innermost being. This idea makes you insecure, for
you believe that security lies in xed rules. Nothing could  be further
from the truth. This is one of those beliefs that need to be
challenged. Envisage that in the idea of forever meeting every new
situation by being inspired anew, there lies a new land of security
that you have not found as yet. What is right in one situation may
not be right in another. This is one of those laws of the new age that
is opposed to the old “stable” laws according to which what is xed
and unchangeable is secure.The laws that pertain to this new venture into your inner
creativity and life need to be studied very carefully; you must work
with them. These are not just words to listen to; you need to make
them your own. These laws are apparently full of contradiction. You
need to acquire knowledge, the mind must be expanded, it must be
able to conceive of truthful  possibilities, and yet you must make
your mind neutral and empty. This seems contradictory  from the
point of view of the dualisti c consciousness, but from the point of
view of the new consciousness that is spreading through your inner
universe, these  are not contra dictions at all. For years I have tried to
show you in many areas how this principle works: Someth ing that is
in truth  and commensurate with the higher laws of life conciliates
opposites that are mutually exclusive on the lower level of
consciousness. What is conict-producing on the lower level is
mutually helpful and interactive on the higher level.
Making Your Mind an Instrument of Unication
More and more you will discover the truth of unication, where
dualities cease to exist and contradictions no longer contradict;
where you experience two previous opposites as valid aspects of the
same truth. When you begin to comprehend this principle and apply
it to your own life, your outlook and values, then you are indeed
ready to receive the new consciousness released in realms far
beyond your own.
When I say that you must not approach your divine channel with
the attitude that it should save you the work of living and growing, I
am not contradicting the necessity of being passively receptive. It is
simply a shift of balance: Where you have been overactive with your
mind, you now need to quiet down and let things happen; where
you insisted on taking the controls, you must now relinquish them
and let a new inner power take over. On the other hand, where you
before tended to be lazy and self-indulgent and looked for the line
of least resistance and therefore made yourself dependent on others,
you now need to take over and actively nurture the principles thathelp to establi sh the channels to your inner God. You also need to
actively express its messages in life. Thus, activity and passivity
need to be reversed.
Your mind will thus become an instrument. It will open up, puncture
its limitations, and acquire new concepts—lightly, not tightly—with
which to “play around” for a while. This attitude of lightness in
your perceptions, of exibility, of motility of mind, will make you
the most receptive to your apparent emptiness.
Now, my friends, as we approach this emptiness, how does it feel?
What is it all about? Again, the human language is extremely
limited, and it is almost impossible to squeeze this kind of
experience into the context of language. I will try my very best to
give you some tools, however.
As you listen into your inner “chasm,” it seems at rst to be a
black gulf of emptiness. What you feel at this point is fear. This fear
seems to ll you up. What is this fear? It is as much a fear of nding
yourself to indeed be empty as of nding yourself with a new
consciousness, with a new being evolving within you. Although you
yearn for this, you also fear it. The fear exists in both possibilities:
You want the new consciousness so much that you fear
disappointment, and yet you also fear nding this consciousness
because of all the obligations  and changes that this might  impose on
you. You must travel through both these fears. On this path you
have received the tools to deal with such fears by questi oning your
lower self.
Going Into the Emptiness
But the time comes when you are ready, notwithstanding the fear,
because you have already made the connections. You know, for
example, what  your lower self wants and why you have negative
intentions. The time comes when, in spite of the fear, you decided
calmly and quietly to go into the emptiness. So you empty your
mind in order to meet the emptiness deep within. Lo and behold,
very soon that very emptiness will feel, not full the same way youare used to, but it will contain a new aliveness that the old articial
fullness of your mind made impossible. In fact, you will soon nd
out that you made yourself articially dull by packing yourself tight:
tight in the mind because of its noise, and tight within your channel
by contracting your energy into hard knots of defense. You had
killed your aliveness with this articial fullness. So you became
needier becaus e without your inner life you could not be fullled in
a real sense. A vicious circle was established as you strove to get
fulllment from outside, since you refused to go through the
necessary steps to make fulllment rst manifest within.
In one sense you fear the aliveness more than the emptiness. And
perhaps you had better face that. When you make yourself
suciently empty, the rst initial response is an inner aliveness, and
you tend to immediately shut the lid tight again. Yet by denying
your fear you also deny that you are really very unhappy about your
lack of aliveness. But lack of aliveness comes from fearing it. You
can make the fear give way to aliveness by letting yourself be
creatively empty.
The Actual Experience
You will experience your whole inner being, including your body
and your energy, as a vibrantly alive “inner tube.” Energy goes
through it, feelings go through it, and something else is vibrantly
coming to the fore that you cannot as yet name. If you do not shy
away from that unnameable something, it will sooner or later turn
out to be constant inner instruction: truth, encouragement, wisdom,
guidance, specically destined to your life right now, wherever you
need it most. That emptines s, that vibrant alive emptiness, is God
talking to you. At any moment of the day it is talking to you where
you need it most. If you really wish to attune to it and hear it, you
will discern it, rst vaguely, later strongly. You need to condition
your inner ear to recognize it. As you begin to recognize the vibrant
voice that speaks in wisdom and love—not in generalities, but
specically to you—you will know that this voice has always existedin you, but you have conditioned yourself not to hear it. And in that
conditioning you have tightened and packed up that “inner tube”
that will ll you with the vibrant music of the angels.
When I say the “music of the angels,” I do not necessari ly mean
this literally, although that, too, may exist. But what you need more
is the guidance  for every decision about what opinion or attitude to
adopt in a given situation. That instruction is truly comparable to
the music of the angels in its glory. This fullness cannot be described
in its wonder;  it is a treasure beyond all words. It is what you
constantly look and yearn for, but most of the time you are not
aware of this searching and project it on substitute fulllments that
you expect to come from outside.
Refocus on what has always existed within you. Your mind and
outer will have confused and complicated your life, so this new
contact is like nding your way out of a maze—a maze you have
created. You can now recre ate your inner landscape without that
maze.
The New Person as the Receptacle of the Universal
Intelligence
Now, my dearest friends, I would like to say a few words about
the new person in the new era. What is the new person? The new
person is indeed always a receptacle of the universal intelligence,
the divine consciousness, the Christ consciousness, that permeates
every particle of being and of life. The new person is not functioning
from the habitual intellect. For many centuries the intellect had to
be cultivated to fulll its role as an important stepping stone in
humanity’s evolution. By now, the overemphasis has gone on too
long. This does not mean you should revert to the purely blind,
emotional “desire-nature,” rather, it means you should open up to a
higher realm of consciousness within you and let it unfold.
There was a period in evolution when it was as hard for people to
nd their ability to think, to weigh, to discriminate, to retainknowledge, to remember, in short, to use all the faculties of the
mind, as it now seems hard to nd contact with the


��rst few days of her fast.  As a side note, the ‘lump’ I mentioned on Day 15 just under the skin on the right side of my back is completely gone.  Completely gone!!Day 21I had a lot of pain in my gut today, all on the left side, which has always been the main area of trouble with pain and ‘gurgling’ for the last 4 years.  I had to lay down a lot and just let it pass.  I kept reminding myself that this will lead to progress and healing.There were no obvious worms from the enema today.At times, the pain in my gut felt like a hot poker searing into my colon.  Very intense.  I am quite sure that this is the area where the worms ‘broke out’ of the colon and started migrating to other areas of the body.  This is also the exact location where I seemed to have constant ‘gurgling’ in the gut.  Now I know that is a very common indicator of worms.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!71The Fourth Week: Yep,Worms Day 22I’m feeling lethargic today.I did see one small worm released today, about 2 inches in length, but he fell apart when I tried to move him to paper for photographs.I’ve had a lot of pain in the gut and a lot of gurgling today.  I had stopped taking the black walnut/wormwood/clove, but when the gurgling became really intense, I decided to take it again, and I felt almost instantly better.I guess I stopped taking the herbs before because I felt like I was somehow going against the purity of a total water fast, but I also see the importance of letting go of the ego and doing what is best for the body.  Clearly the tincture seems to be helping.I am wondering what’s with the excessive gurgling today?  I wonder if it’s the eggs hatching and getting agitated and hungry before dying?  It could certainly be possible,I tried to look up the incubation time for the ascaris eggs online to see if at 22 days, I should be expecting old eggs to hatch.  Some websites say it takes 2-3 weeks; others say it’s 2-4 weeks.  It would make perfect sense that at this point in my fast, eggs laid before I started are now hatching.It certainly motivates me to try to continue to 28 days to get the full incubation time for any more possible new eggs.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!72Mental note:  Change toothbrush immediately after the fast so as not to reinfect with any eggs.Day 23Last night I felt amazing!  I was up until 3 am and full of positive energy!  This morning I passed 5 worms STILL!  Wow, it’s such a reason to stay focused and continue.  The worms are skinnier and skinnier now, which is really no surprise since they are starving inside their host - yeah!It’s becoming so difﬁcult to photograph the worms now because they are so thin and delicate.This afternoon I started to have more pain in the left side again and so much gurgling - it was almost ridiculous.  More unhappy eggs hatching or hungry worms wreaking havoc before they go.  I have to remember that with every day and every enema, I am stronger and the highest healing power of love ﬁlls me more and more.Day 24Today I passed more worms, one that was over 12 inches long!  I was able to photograph this one, but it was not possible to spread it all the way out.I had so much pain in the left side of my gut again yesterday.  Today the pain is intermittent; at times I just need to lie down and then it passes after about 30 minutes.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!73I’m feeling waves of heat, unwell-ness and the ‘hot poker’ pain in my gut.  I’m embracing it as a healing crisis, knowing that my body ﬁnally has the strength to heal itself.This afternoon, I decided to make some garlic-infused water to bring in another good natural parasite killer.  After passing worms for the last 16 days and having fasted now for 24 days, I am feeling that I need to be more pro-active to really get a handle of these buggers.  After all, I can only safely fast for 40 days.  I do not want to see worms still coming out on Day 39, if I even continue that long!For the ‘infusion,’ I took 1/2 of a small clove of garlic and I blended it in a mini-food processor, then added water.  I let the water infuse for about 10 minutes, and then I drank only the water.  The garlic remained settled at the bottom of the glass.I started to have more ‘die-off’ symptoms immediately - headache, nausea and instant fatigue mainly, so I just rested and allowed it to pass. About an hour later, I felt full of energy and very good!I think I will continue to take this ‘infused’ garlic water 1x daily for the rest of the fast.Day 25Last night I started to feel hungry for the ﬁrst time in 24 days.  I started to wonder if the garlic ‘infused’ water somehow stirred up my appetite.  I still had worms coming out even yesterday, so I knew that I was not ﬁnished with the cleansing.  So why the hunger?Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!74This morning my answer arrived:  my menstruation started.  What a relief to know that I was just reacting normally to the change in hormones.  I’m also very happy to see my natural 28-day cycle is completely on time and unaffected by the long water fast.  The body is truly so amazing!There were no worms in my enema today.  Overall, the severity of my ‘symptoms’ have lessened over the past 2 weeks.  The muscle twitching is much more infrequent, the ear ‘popping’ has almost ceased entirely, I have had no headaches, and even the ‘gurgling’ is signiﬁcantly less.  I feel my body becoming stronger every day.  I feel that I have more energy now than I did even one week ago.  My mind is sharper and clearer.  I am sleeping soundly for 8 hours every night.  I look better and better every day.  This gives me hope.  I’ve probably lost another 5 kg or 10 pounds.  Can you imagine how much weight the worms alone added?  No wonder my belly was distended.  It was full of worms!Some interesting news from my neighbor - she started passing ascaris worms on Day 5 of her fast and has been passing worms every day since!  We are truly have parallel experiences.  It is unbelievable!  She has also done colon cleansing for years and never saw one worm released during her cleanses.  Fascinating!Day 26No worms in the enema today, although I am sure there are still more there.  Call it a ‘gut’ feeling...haha.  Sorry, bad intestinal humor!Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!75Last night I had terrible cramping in my gut for hours...no gurgling though...an interesting shift and possibly a good sign!  I can’t help but think that it’s the ascaris eggs either detaching from the walls of the colon or just hatching and dying off right away.I’ve decided to add the parasite killing measures into my daily routine for the rest of the fast.  I’m taking the black walnut/wormwood/clove tincture 2x daily once in the morning and once in the evening.  I am also drinking one glass of garlic ‘infused’ water every day at 3pm.There are some who may look down on this as me not really doing a pure water fast.  Believe me, I struggled with the decision.  I am not taking any lemon and lime or juices; other than these special herbs, I am only drinking water.  As I said before, I do think it is important to let go of the ego during times like this and listen to your inner voice to do what is best for your body.  My inner voice is saying that I do not want even one ﬁlthy vile worm or parasite living in my pure and perfect temple of love!I have also been burning sage daily in my house, in the bathroom where the worms are being released and on and around my bed which is where I have been spending the most of my time.  I really feel that these worms have an evil energy in them, a desire to take energy away from their host and a vile and dirty consciousness.  As they are coming out of my body, I feel a strong desire to cleanse the space around me.My neighbor brought me back some sage from her visa run to Kuala Lumpur, so it was perfect timing.  She taught me a great trick to make the sage last longer.  You simply break off a few leaves at a time and burn Personal Story - 40-Day Fast

ten years by urine treatment.”  from Manav Mootra, by R. M. Patel  ASTHMA <<<NOTE>>> Trim down the content of this letter to UT-relevant text only? Madhukar Gopal Date (lndubaug No. 2, Sanmill Lane, Lower Parel, Bombay 12) wrote to me on 13-12-1959 :  “I have gone through your book, Manavamutra. I undertook treatment prescribed in it to cure my asthma and am pleased to say that I have got a new life after a fast on auto-urine for 8 days. My age is 45 years. I was fond of exercise from the very beginning. Consequently my physique was very strong and robust. When I was a youth of 25 I used to sleep for an hour during the mid-day. After sleep, usually there used to be coughing and some phlegm along with blood came out. I was indifferent to this. This much I remember that I had been constitutionally phlegmatic from the very childhood. Gradually cough increased. Many treatments were tried out but with no avail. In course of time, the disease assumed the form of asthma.I became extremely careful to take all preventive measures. But asthma haunted me like a ghost and I was totally disappointed. “Meanwhile, my dear friend and neighbour, Shri Khetsibhai Malsi Savala,gave me a copy of your book to read. I read it twice and gathered confidence. I started drinking urine once every morning and continued for a month. There was no improvement at all and I was again disappointed. Thereafter I decided to fast for eight days which I began on 18-11-'59.  I used to drink entire urine passed during the day and night. The urine that was collected before the fast was used to be massaged by my wife. She used to warm it and rub it on my whole body twice a day, devoting 1 1/2 hours to each massage. Four days passed but no motion or other results were noticed. I got worried. On the 5th day, I took an enema of boiled neem-leaves water; but only water came out without any waste with it. The treatment however was continued. I expected vomiting but during 8 day's fast, there was neither vomiting nor loose motions, nor sneezing.  I broke the fast on the 9th day, i.e. on 26-11-59. Before fast I weighed 135 lb. and after it 116 lb. “The same day I consulted my doctor. He examined carefully and reported that there was no phlegm in my body. He was further pleased to know about urine treatment and assured me that if asthma would not recur within three or four months, he would advise this treatment to others.” 13  from Manav Mootra, by R. M. Patel  ASTHMA  “A woman who had asthma went on an 8-day urine fast, drinking only her urine. Many detox symptoms appeared like vomiting, mucus and phlegm. On the 8th day she felt like asthma was fully rooted out. She lost 20 pounds to her ideal weight and felt vigor and vitality return to her body. Her skin became soft and bright. Two rainy and winter seasons have passed without a single asthma attack. She is now free of the fear of attack. Nature is powerful. All the medicines of the world are worthless compared to her. With nature’s grace and cooperation, the world can become a happy place to live in.”  from Manav Mootra, by R. M. Patel  ASTHMA  “Sharma of Bhagalpur got asthma in his young age of 12 years. He began to lose his sight also and had to resort to wearing glasses.  He took Urine Therapy and began to drink his urine four times a day. He used to wash his eyes with urine. He was strict in his diet. He cured himself completely and got rid of asthma, regained his sight, and cured his cold and cough.”  from Urine Therapy, by Dr. John O'Quinn  ASTHMA  “Arit N. Wadia, B.A., age fifty-two (Teacher, Station Road, Bulsar), suffered from asthma for the last 20 years. He started the treatment of Urine Therapy in 1964.  He used to  take half a pound of urine for 30 days. He cured himself in only two months.”  from Urine Therapy, by Dr. John O'Quinn  ASTHMA  “Asha Mehta, Secretary of the Punjab Red Cross Society, lived in Chandighad. In  1963 her health began to break down. Her stomach swelled and there was pain even when lightly touched. There was swelling in the lungs, and she suffered from Asthma too. She was taken to a naturopath named Dr. Roudolf Stone at Amritsar. He gave her dietetic treatment along with naturopathic methods of enema and bath. But his peculiar 14 advice was for rubbing her own urine on her chest. This cured her completely and her asthma, and other ailments vanished in only three months.”  from Urine Therapy, by Dr. John O'Quinn  ASTHMA  “S.G. Pande (Artergoan, PO Zadeshi Dist. Wardha, Maharashtra ) was suffering from asthma for most of his life. His age was 58. In  1928 he got malaria and regularly got It for about five or six years. In  1935 he felt a sensation of suffocation for the first time. He thought it was due to over-exercise. He got rid of it by three days' fast. After two years, there was a severe attack of suffocation. There was weakness in the body, and though there was no sign of any mucus some came out after much coughing. Different doctors  diagnosed his disease as asthma, bronchitis, bronchial asthma eosinophilia, allergic condition, coromal thrombosis, etc. He had gulped down lots of medicine during the past 15 years but to no avail. He took to a diet of milk, light foods, and fruits for several months. In 1963, he came to Mukhad where his son lived. He gave him a book on Urine Therapy. So he started with urine treatment on March 4th, 1963. There were reactions in the beginning. Heart throbbings increased. He took some honey with water during the urine fast, and that brought down the throbbings of the heart. There was reaction on the gums, and there was swelling there. But he continued his urine fast and in the end could not only cure his asthma but could get nd of his tonsillitis , too. He could feel his stomach lighten, and the color of his skin changed for the better.”  from Urine Therapy, by Dr. John O'Quinn  ASTHMA  “Socrates, 4, had weekly asthma attacks, eczema and constant eye infections since he was one year old. When he received a small urine injection there was localized irritation. The child recovered by morning and he was good enough to go to school. His excrement was somewhat liquefied and he urinated frequently, but he did not have an asthma attack for several weeks. He then began to cough a lot and vomit. There was a whooping cough epidemic in town. A second urine injection was applied. The child had localized pain in the area of the injection. At night he continued coughing and expelling great quantities of phlegm and mucus. He felt weak and had a lot of gas. This condition improved little by little as the child continued expelling phlegm and mucus.  “Three days later the child was much better. He had a little cough, but that was nothing compared to the whooping cough or asthma the other children in the neighborhood had. His excrement was normal and the child had no more gas. A month 15 later, the child's mother told the doctor that he was doing very well. He has not had an asthma attack since the first injection. When a doctor examined the child, the eczema and the infection of the eyes had disappeared completely.”  from Uropathy by Martin J. Lara  ASTHMA  “Mr Tavarez, 17, had his first asthma attack when he was one year old. His breathing was very difficult and it sounded as though he was asphyxiating. The asthma attacks usually lasted several hours. Their physician recommended the family relocated to another, less polluted city, but the child continued suffering daily asthma attacks. Amongst other problems, the disease caused asthmatic deformation of the thoracic box. “On the first visit he was given a 2 cc (cubic centimeter) injection of his own fresh, unfiltered and unprocessed urine and this application was so effective that the child had no asthma problems for a month. The next asthma attack occurred four-and-a-half weeks later while playing football in school. The problem lasted several hours until a second injection was applied. Within five minutes the youth was completely calmed. There was irritation, inflammation and a burning sensation localized where the injection was applied. The reaction lasted about 30 hours. There were no complications for the next two-and-half months until the fall when he developed the flu and a mild asthma attack. The youth had several mild attacks until the end of April. That is when the third and last injection was applied. He had a mild localized reaction for 24 hours, but never again suffered from asthma. “Note: The injections were applied only when symptoms reappeared because that is when anti-allergenic substances are present in urine.”  from Uropathy, by


, are capable of such extraordinary responses to life
when they expand their viewpoint beyond the limits of the mind to the perspective of the
soul. They may not  even know, consciously, that they are doing this (or they may not call it
that), but they are making a choice about life and how they are doing to live it, and I suggest
that this choice comes from a place deep within, far past the reaches of the mind.
When we use the System of the Soul (our higher knowing) with  the Mechanics of the
Mind, we have combined the two most powerful tools with which human beings are
endowed. Knowing that everything that has ever happened to you has happened in some
way for your own higher good and fastest evolution is very, very empowering. For it means
that everything that is going  to happen to you in the future is, likewise, for your own good.
This radically alters your idea about future change. You no longer have to fear it. And by
not fearing it you take control of it, because you now feel free to take the actions and
decisions that are most desirous, rather than always opting for those that a re most
cautious.
It is desire that ignites the engine of creation, not caution. Never, never caution. Always,
always desire.  Look to see what you most desire in your life, then ride that feeling all the way to
creation. If you do this you are using what h as been called the Law of Attraction. In simple
terms: thought in action. At a very high metaphysical level: the process of synergistic
energy exchange.
Everything is energy. In this field of energy, like attracts like. What you think, you create.
Yet what  you believe is what you think, and what you perceive is what you believe —and all
of your perceptions depend on your perspective... AND...
It is your current reality that creates your next perspective.
It is a circle. I know you have already heard al l of this... but I want you to really “get it.”
If you step out of a Distorted Reality you could carry that distortion into your next
perspective, skipping right over the place of Pure Being from which the soul’s perspective
emerges. This will affect yo ur next perception, which will affect your next belief, which will
affect your next behavior, which will affect your next event, and so on around the clock of
your life... to the creation of your Next -Moment -Reality.
This is not good. Life is not going to go well if your Distorted Reality is so strong and
feels so “real” that its energy affects your next perspective. That’s why you are urged to get
in touch with your soul, which rests between your last reality and your next perspective (at
“twelve o’cloc k high” on life’s Time Clock). What the soul brings to this process that the
mind cannot is that enlarged perspective  I keep talking about.
Once you have gained that new perspective, once you have made that New  Data part of
your mind’s Past  Data, you can t hink a new thought about tomorrow, and how you want it
to be. You do not have to come from worry or anxiety or negativity or any less than joyful
vision of your future —no matter how  “bad” you think today has been! Knowing that all
things turn out for the b est, that all outcomes are perfect for your evolution, gives you
extraordinary confidence in tomorrow. And that’s where your power lies.
Okay, enough for a while. I’m going to invite you now to just
Put the book down for a bit
Give yourself a chance to tak e all of that in. Read the notes you’ve placed in the margin.
(You have  been taking notes, haven’t you...?) Maybe do a little writing in your journal.
(You are keeping a journal, yes?) Then...
... when you feel refreshed, please go on to...
YOU R NEW IDEA ABOUT TOMORROW
What I’m saying here is that life is an energy that feeds on itself. Life produces more life
through the process of life, and life’s energy duplicates itself. What I’m saying here is that
thinking in a positive way about a present  event not only changes our present experience of
that event, but sets into motion energies that create future events. What I’m saying here is that an extraordinary life emerges from a change in your idea about future change —#7 on
our list.
What you projec t, you produce. What you conclude, you create. And all that stuff.
“All that stuff” is what spiritual teachers of every stripe and color, of every persuasion
and belief, have been sharing with humankind since time began. All spiritual teachers say
the same  thing. Don’t you think that’s a bit unusual? All religions teach the same doctrine.
Don’t you find that interesting? On this particular subject, on the question of how life works
and what makes the world go ’round, every dogma agrees: As you believe, so w ill it be done
unto you.
James Allen wrote an extraordinary little tract on this subject, titled As a Man Thinketh. I
read this more than thirty years ago and it changed my life.
The James Allen website [self -improvement -ebooks.com] says that this mystical  author
(1864 -1912) wrote in his own powerful words what the Buddha taught: All that we are is
the result of what we have thought. Allen’s text has it this way: “As a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he.”
Allen’s message “is one of hope even in the midst o f confusion. Yes, he says, humanity
surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by
anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified,
makes the winds and the storms of the sou l obey him,” the website says.
This is, of course, exactly what I have been telling you here. Again I notice, it is what all
spiritual teachers and writers have said forever and ever. In a striking affirmation of the
very book you are now reading, James Al len wrote one hundred years ago:
“Tempest -tossed souls, wherever you may be, under whatsoever conditions you may
live, know this —in the ocean of life the isles of blessedness are smiling and the sunny shore
of your ideal awaits your coming.”
Thus, says the self -improvement -ebooks.com website, “Allen teaches two essential
truths: today we are where our thoughts have taken us, and we are the architect —for
better or worse —of our futures.”
My grown sons have a way of dealing with whatever is going on in thei r life. No matter
what happens they say, simply: “It’s all good.”
You can’t make a scheduled lunch date? “It’s all good.” The car gets grumpy and won’t
start? “It’s all good.” I like that. I like that a lot. What a perspective! What a great starting
point!  That’s how you create a wonderful tomorrow!
You create from a new Point of Origin about today!  The opportunity that we have every
day is to look straight at what’s going on right now and smile and have a good laugh on
ourselves and say, “It’s all good.” T hen add a huge thank you to God for making this life so
magnificent that we can create a brand new experience of it  in any given moment.
I have said that Observed Reality is a wonderful reality —it is a very high and rare state
of experiencing, one which mo st people seldom reach. You would think that the Observed
Reality would be the reality most often experienced by human beings, but it is, in fact, a
very elevated state of consciousness that many people live their entire lifetime without
entering more than  occasionally. Most humans most of the time come from their Imagined
Truth, and therefore experience a Distorted Reality.  You can tell if you are living in the Observed Reality because you will be clear that in this
moment there is nothing going on  other t han what is going on.
The moment you bring your awareness to just what is happening now, you realize that
everything “bad” that you think about this “now” is stuff that you’ve added. It’s stuff that’s
not really there. You’re placing  it there, with your th ought.
All you have to do to get rid of the pain of what is happening now is to stop adding  the
pain TO what is happening now. Pull the plug! Drain the moment of the bad past or the
unwelcome future. Have a new thought about Right Now —and have it right now!
It’s all good!
How can you say that when I just lost my job?  you might growl —and that wou ld be fair.
Or, more sadly, How can you say that when my loved one has just died?  Or when my
relationship has just ended?
These are difficult, stress -filled moments. I am not suggesting they are not. Events such
as these challenge every belief we may have that we live in a friendly universe. Only the
soul’s absolute knowing that, when all is said and done, everything is happening for the
best of all concerned can bring us peace in a time such


 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.

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.

condensed to  a sim ple w e ll-b a la n ce d  system.

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


ologizing for yourself at every turn—the excessive “I’m
sorry’s” that are designed to have others forgive you, and approve
of you all of the time.
• Behaving in nonconforming  ways for the purpose of gaining at-
tention, which is the same neurosis as conforming for the sake of
external approval. Thus, wearing tennis shoes with your tuxedo, or
eating a handful of mashed potatoes and wanting to be noticed is
still approval-seeking.
• Being pathologically late for all occasions. Here you can’t help
but be seen and it is an approval-seeking device which gets everyone
to pay attention. You may be doing it out of a need to be distin-
guished, and hence you are controlled by those doing the noticing.
• Trying to impress others with your knowledge of something
that you know nothing about by “faking it.”
• Begging for compliments by setting yourself up for approval,
and then feeling bad when they don’t come.
• Being unhappy about someone you respect having a contrary
point of view, and expressing it to you.
Obviously, the list can go on forever. Approval-seeking is a cul-
tural phenomenon that is readily observable in all corners of our
globe. It is only distasteful when it becomes a need, which, of course,
is tantamount to giving up the self, and placing responsibility for
how you feel in the hands of others whose approbation is being
sought.YOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 65The Dividends for Approval-Seeking
A look at the why of this self-defeating behavior will be useful in
coming up with some strategies for eliminating approval-seeking
needs. Below are some of the more common reasons—mostly neur-
otic in nature—for hanging onto approval-seeking. Payoffs for ap-
proval-seeking as a need include:
• Placing RESPONSIBILITY for your feelings on others. If you
feel the way you do (lousy, hurt, depressed, etc.) because someone
else didn’t approve of you, then THEY, not you, are responsible for
how you feel.
• If they are responsible for how you feel because of with-holding
their approval, then any CHANGE in you is also impossible, since
it is their fault that you feel the way you do. Then they are also re-
sponsible for keeping you from being different. Thus approval-
seeking helps you to avoid changing.
• As long as they are responsible and you can’t change, you don’t
have to take any risks. Consequently, hanging onto approval-seeking
as a way of life will help you to conveniently avoid any risk-taking
activities in your life.
• Reinforcing a poor self-image and therefore encouraging self-
pity and do-nothingism. If you are immune from the need for ap-
proval, you are immune from self-pity when you don’t get it.
• Reinforcing the idea that others must take care of you, and
therefore you can revert to the child in you and be coddled, protec-
ted—and manipulated.
• Blaming others for what you are feeling, thereby creating a
scapegoating effect for everything you don’t like in your life.
• Deluding yourself that you are liked by those others you’ve
made more important than yourself and thus feeling outwardly
comfortable even though there is a cauldron of discontent seething
inside of you. As long as the others are more significant, then the
outward appearance is more important.66 / Your Erroneous Zones• Taking solace in the fact that others notice you, which gives you
something to boast about to other approval-seeking friends.
• Fitting into the culture which applauds such behavior and
winning you the favor of the many.
These neurotic payoffs are strikingly similar to the rewards for
self-hate. In fact, the theme of avoiding responsibility, change and
risk is at the heart of all the self-destructive thinking and behavior
described in this book. Without all of the fancy diagnostic language,
it is just plain easier, more familiar and less risky to hang onto
neurotic behaviors. Approval-seeking as a need is obviously no ex-
ception.
A Look at the Supreme Irony of Approval-Seeking Behavior
For a moment, engage in a little fantasy. Assume that you really
wanted approval from everyone and that it was possible to obtain
it. Further assume that this was a healthy goal. Now, with this in
mind, what would be the best, most efficient way to obtain your
end? Before answering, think of the one individual in your life that
seems to get the most approval. What is this individual like? How
does he behave? What is it about him that attracts everyone? You
probably have someone in mind who is candid, direct and straight-
forward, independent of other people’s opinions, and fulfilled. He
probably has little or no time for approval-seeking. This is very likely
a person who will tell it like it is, despite the consequences. Perhaps
he finds tact and diplomacy less important than honesty. He is not
a hurtful person, just an individual who has little time for the game-
playing that goes with speaking delicately and being careful to say
it just right to avoid hurting feelings.
Isn’t that ironic! The people who seem to get the most ap-YOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 67proval in life are those who never seek it out, who have no desire
for it, and who are not preoccupied with achieving it.
Here is a little fable which is applicable here, since happiness is
an absence of approval-seeking as a need:
A big cat saw a little cat chasing its tail and asked, “Why are
you chasing your tail so?” Said the kitten, “I have learned that
the best thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is my
tail. Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it, I shall have
happiness.”
Said the old cat, “My son, I, too, have paid attention to the
problems of the universe. I, too, have judged that happiness is
in my tail. But, I have noticed that whenever I chase after it, it
keeps running away from me, and when I go about my busi-
ness, it just seems to come after me wherever I go.”*
So, if you want all of that approval, it is ironic that the most effect-
ive way to get it is to not want it and to avoid chasing after it and
to not demand it from everyone. By being in touch with yourself
and using your positive self-image as a consultant, much more ap-
proval will come to you.
Of course you will never get approval from everyone for
everything that you do, but when you see yourself as worthy you’ll
never be depressed when approval is withheld. Disapproval will be
viewed by you as the natural consequence of living on this planet
where people are individual in their perceptions.
Some Specific Strategies for Eliminating
Approval-Seeking as a Need
In order to cut down on your own approval-seeking behavior,
you will need to come in touch with your own neurotic rewards
*C. L. James, “On Happiness,” in To See a World in a Grain of Sand,  by Caesar
Johnson (Norwalk, Conn.: The C. R. Gibson Co., 1972).68 / Your Erroneous Zonesfor the continuation of the behavior. Beyond just thinking new self-
enhancing thoughts when you contact disapproval (which is the
most effective strategy you can employ), here are some specific
things you can work on to get yourself out of the approval-seeking
bind.
• Label disapproval with new responses that begin with the word
you. For example, you note that your father is not agreeing with you
and is even getting angry. Rather than shifting or defending yourself,
simply respond with, “You’re getting upset, and you feel that I
shouldn’t think the way I do.” This will keep you in touch with the
fact that disapproval belongs to him, not you. The you strategy can
be employed any time, and with amazing results if you master the
technique. You’ll have to fight your temptation to start with “I,”
thereby putting yourself in the position of defending or modifying
what you just said in order to gain acceptance.
• If you think someone else is trying to manipulate you by with-
holding approval, say so. Instead of turning wishy-washy for the
purpose of reaping some approval benefits, you can say out loud,
“Generally I would shift my position now in order to get you to like
me, but I really believe in what I said, and you’ll have to deal with
your own feelings about it.” Or, “I guess you’d like me to change
what I just said.” The act of labeling it will be helpful in keeping in
touch with your own thinking and behavior.
• You can thank someone for providing you with data that will
be helpful in your growth, even though it was something you didn’t
like. The act of thanking puts an end to any approval-seeking. Your
husband says that you’re acting shy and nervous and he doesn’t
like it. Rather than trying to please him, you simply thank him for
pointing it out. The approval-seeking behavior is gone.
• You can actively seek disapproval and work on yourself to not
be upset. Select someone who is bound to disagree and, flying in
the face of the disapproval, maintain your positionYOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 69calmly. You’ll get better at not being upset, and not having to alter
your own views
