 cholesterol in som e people's blood. Let us get one thing clear: Excess cholesterol formati on is the re sult of d ehydration. It is the dehydration that causes
many different
diseases and not the level of cholesterol in the circu lating blood. It Is therefore more prudent to attend to our daily
water intake rather than to what foods we eat. With proper enzyme activity, any food can be digested, including its
cholesterol content. Mr. Wahby could reduce his cholesterol levels without too much anxiety about his foo d intake
(see letter on page 90). He lived normally and yet his cho lesterol levels came down dramatically from 279 to 203 in two months without any
food limitations. All he had to do was to drink more water before his meals. If he had taken regular daily walks, this
level would have been further reduced during the two months. In time, it will be further reduced. His te stimonial is
printed by his kind permission. He is so  happy with the simplicity o f the process that he wishes to share his joy with
others. If increased water intake lowers ch olesterol levels, only to rise again, make sure your body is not getting short of
salt. Read the section on salt in chapter 12. You should realize that cholesterol is the basic building block for most
hormones in the human body. Na turally, a basic drive for increased hormone production will also raise the rate of
cholesterol production. Basically, it is assumed that heart disease begins with the deposit of cholesterol plaques in the arteries of the heart. At the final stages, the two may exist at the sam e time. Howev er, in my opinion, it begins when the constriction
producing chemicals from the lungs spill over into the circulation that goes to the heart. As i t is explained in the
chapter on asthma, in dehydration, part of the process of water preservation is the associated secretion of
substances that constrict the bronchioles. At a certain threshold that does not at the time manifest itself in an
asthma attack, the same chemicals, if they spill into the blood circulation that goes through to the lung, will also
constrict the walls of the heart arteries once they reach them. This situation will lead to heart pains, known as
anginal pains. EMBASSY  OF THE ARA B REPUBL IC OF  EGYPT

P.O Bo x 3267, Falls Ch urch, VA 2 2043
Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj,
This is to say how grateful I am to you for making me a much less worried man. I have suffered from a high
cholesterol level since 1982. It was 278 when it was first discovered. I was then in Germany and I was p ut on such a
strict diet that I lost 16 pounds in less th an two months and the Cholesterol level went down to only 220. I refused to
accept to lower it further through medication especially since in Egypt the doctors sti ll believe that this level is not
really dangerous by the prevailing standards in our country. Since I entertain and attend business lunches m ore than what wou ld be expected even from a diplomat, because of
the additional burden of dealing with the media, my cholesterol was always going up to around 260 and back to
220s, by putting myself on very strict diet from time to time. Howev er, it must be noted that it was o nly outside my
home that the diet cam e crashing down. Otherwise,! was strict with myself. In fact,  even when I ate outside, I was
careful to choose dishes, wherever available, which were not particularly rich in fat. Last yea r I was shocked to discover that my blood cholesterol level had shot up to 279. I was lucky to have met you
then. When you "prescribed" ample water (two full glasses) be taken before meals instead of medication that I was
just about to submit myself to then, I was very skeptical. All the more so since you did not overemphasize dieting. In
two months, and with very little observance of all the old "rules' which were making my life miserable, my cho lesterol
went down to 203 for the first time in more than nine years! M Y weight too was surprisingly also down by about eight
pounds and has since been under control. In fact, I feel so good that I am sure that the next time I will be going for a
blood test, my cholesterol level will be found to be even lower. So, goodbye to the "normal" Egypt ian standards and
welcome to the American new levels of cho lesterol without the accompanying sense of deprivation! Enjoying eating, moderately of course, as I had not been doing for a long time and free from a worry that wasalways at the back of my mind, I believe I owe you a big THANK Y OU. YOURS SINCEREL Y
MINISTER MOHAM MED W AHBY
Director, Press and Information Bureau
These same chemicals can  also set the stage for the deposit of cholesterol in the walls of the arteries. The common
facto r to all of the various co nditions labeled as different diseases of the heart and the lungs is an established
dehydration. Take a look at Mr. Sam Liguori's letter, published by his kind permission. His a nginal pain disappeared
when he started to increase his wat er intake. He also has suffered from hiatus hernia. That, too, has sta rted to dear
up. Give him time, and it will recover completely. Al so take a look at Loretta Johnson's letter. You will see that even
at the young-at-heart age of 90, her anginal pain can be treated with water to the extent that she does not need any
medication for her heart pains. I have many, many letters sim ilar to these. It is not possible to publish them all. I have selected a few o f them to
show you that what I propose is not a theory. It, in fact /works for different people of varying ages. WARD

Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj:
Just a short letter to thank you for informing our listeners about the health benefits o f drinking two quarts of water a
day. Not only did you help our radio audience, but I personally have enjoyed a resurgence of energy after drinking two
quarts of water each day for just over one week. The angina pain I endured for five years has disappeared and my d istress f rom a hiatal hernia has greatly lessened. I feel like a new person. I've been doing talk shows at WARD Ra dio for the past 20 years, and I must say y our interview w ith us is o ne I'll
always remember. Sincerely,

P.O Bo x 1550  Pittston, PA 1 8640 (717) 655-5521Mr. John Fox's case is very unusual in that his severe case  of heart disease was r eversed sufficiently to make life
once again normal for him—with out the bypass surgery that is now in  vogue. Mr. Fox is in his sixth decade of life. He is a retired electronics engineer who has sp ent many highly responsible years with the Navy. Today, he is one of
the 50 living Bates-Trained Natural "Visio n specialists. At so me point in time, he was nearly blind in one eye and
losing vision in the other. He became intrigued with the Bates method of vision training because of his own needs. As a result of his training, he is not going blind anymore and his eyesight is saved—virtually normal now. A few years back, he was con sidered hypertensive. He received medication to reduce his blood pressure. He could
not take the medications; they made him worse. His problems sta rted when he suffered his heart attacks. His le tter
explains what happened to him and how he is better now. Th e highlight of this letter is that after two months of
taking increased water, and a slight adjustment to his diet, in addition to his daily walks, his coronary arteries m ust
have cleared sufficiently for him to feel normal. He now enjoys  normal activity without having to endure any pain,
and all of that with out the use of any medication or suffering by-pass surgery. Imagine that a person with such a severe heart problem as Mr. Fox cou ld in about two months get back to normal
life and not need invasive treatment even though chemical treatments failed! The proposed nature-designed
approach to the problem scientifically and logically seems to depend on physiological reversal of the disease
process. It's an ideal way of offering cures for some degenerative disease conditions. BATES-F OXNatural Vision Training

did	not	help	yesterday,	it	was	cold	and	you	were	concerned	that	the	child	was
getting	cold,	but	today	the	weather	is	nice	and	that	won’t	be	a	problem,	what
will	I	have	for	dinner,	maybe	I	will	try	a	new	menu,	but	are	there	enough
potatoes	for	that	dish? Is	the	sauce	in	the	cupboard	or	did	I	write	it	on	the
shopping	list? Have	I	brought	my	card	to	pay	for	the	shopping? Oh,	the	cost
of	food	these	days,	it	was	never	like	before. Well,	at	least	I	am	doing	some
exercise. I	meant	to	exercise	more	but	it	is	difficult	to	find	the	time. What
time	is	it? Oh,	yes,	that’s	the	time. I’d	better	rush	to	collect	Ciara,	jump	into
the	car,	get	stuck	in	traffic. Why	is	the	traffic	like	this? Every	car	just	has	one
person	sitting	in	it. So	much	for	the	policymakers,	the	roads	cannot	hold	the
traffic. In	Ireland,	the	roads	are	just	too	narrow. Why	don’t	we	have	roads	like
in	they	have	in	the	USA? What	is	this	idiot	doing	in	front	of	me? Go	on,	will
you? Why	are	you	driving	slowly? Honk	honk. That	is	life	for	most	people. They	take	a	walk	and	miss	everything	around
them. Where	was	their	attention? More	importantly,	where	is	your	attention? Taking	ownership	of	the	mind
I
t	is	worth	spending	some	time	where	there	is	innate	stillness. Nature
provides	this	in	abundance. I	like	to	stare	into	open	space. I	am	fortunate	enough	to	have	miles	of
untouched	bog	land	in	the	front	of	where	I	live. I	have	been	looking	and
merging	with	this	for	a	number	of	years,	yet	each	time	feels	like	the	first. Because	I	set	aside	my	mind	and	put	my	entire	attention	on	it,	I	become	one
with	it. No	matter	how	many	times	a	day	I	look,	there	is	newness,	freshness	and
aliveness. I	am	not	looking	at	the	countryside	through	thoughts,	through
labels,	through	names. I	get	so	much	more	when	I	truly	look. Nature	is
constantly	changing,	dying	and	renewing. Therefore,	each	time	I	look	without
the	filter	of	my	mind,	the	landscape	has	changed	from	before. A	river	that
flows	is	not	the	same	river	five	minutes	later. Nor	is	it	the	same	river	five
minutes	before. The	water	is	different. One	pheasant	is	not	the	same	as	the
next. Humans	might	attach	the	same	label	by	calling	it	a	pheasant,	but	each	is
unique,	beautiful	and	individual. The	essence	of	nature	is	not	understood	through	thought. Truly	appreciating
nature	does	not	come	through	the	amount	of	information	or	the	names	you
attach	to	different	flowers,	birds	or	animals. You	are	not	going	into	nature	to
exercise	your	mind. Instead,	go	into	nature	to	give	your	mind	a	rest. Who
cares	about	the	name	of	the	tree	or	the	bird? Instead,	just	look	at	the	tree	or
bird	without	thought	and	sense	its	aliveness. This	is	far	more	important	than
knowing	a	mere	label. If	you	have	great	difficulty	doing	this	and	your	mind	continues	to	bombard
you	with	thought,	then	take	this	process	little	by	little. In	addition	to	stilling
your	mind	through	nature,	watch	your	breath	and	pay	attention	to	your	inner
body. Feel	your	body	from	the	inside. Be	connected	with	it. Feel	your	body	as
you	merge	with	the	life	around	you. Life	takes	care	of	the	flowers,	grass,	trees
and	birds. There	is	nothing	wanting	here. Nature	is	immersed	in	stillness	and
will	help	take	you	there,	too. You	have	nothing	to	do	but	to	stop	thinking. Simple	things	that	life	has	to	offer

Write	down	sixty	things	that	you	love	to	do. Write	down	things	that	totally

	the	time	of	the	survey	in	1983)	was
very	different	from	the	United	States	in	two	ways. First,	fat	was	only	14.5%
of	calorie	intake	in	China,	compared	with	about	36%	in	the	U.S.	Second,	the
amount	of	fat	in	the	diets	of	rural	China	depended	almost	entirely	on	theamount	of	animal-based	food	in	the	diet,	just	like	the
findings	in
Chart	4.7
. The	correlation	between	dietary	fat	and	animal	protein	in	rural	China	was
very	high,	at	70-84%,
33
	similar	to	the	93%	seen	when	comparing	different
countries. 23
CHART	4.8:	ANIMAL	FAT	INTAKE	AND	BREAST	CANCER
	CHART	4.9:	PLANT	FAT	INTAKE	AND	BREAST	CANCER
This	is	important	because	in	China	and	the	international	studies,	fat
consumption	was	only	an	indication	of
animal-based	food
	consumption. Thus,	the	association	between	fat	and	breast	cancer	might	really	be	telling	us
that	as	consumption	of
animal-based	foods
	goes	up,	so	does	breast	cancer. This	is	not	the	case	in	the	U.S.,	where	we	selectively	add	or	remove	fat	from
our	foods	and	our	diets. We	get	as	much	or	more	fat	from	plant-based	food
(potato	chips,	French	fries)	as	we	get	from	processed	animal-based	foods
(skim	milk,	lean	cuts	of	meat). China	does	not	tinker	with	fat	in	their	food
supply	as	we	do	here. At	this	very	low	range	of	dietary	fat	in	China,	from	6%-24%,	I	initially
thought	that	dietary	fat	would	not	be	linked	with	diseases	like	heart	disease	or
the	various	cancers,	as	it	is	in	the	West. Some	people	in	the	U.S.—like	many
of	my	colleagues	in	science	and	medicine—call	a	30%	fat	diet	a	“low-fat”
diet. Therefore,	a	low-fat	diet	containing	only
25-30%	fat	was	thought	to	be
low	enough	to	obtain	the	maximum	amount	of	health	benefits. This	implied
that	going	lower	provided	no	further	benefit. Surprise! Findings	from	rural	China	showed	that	reducing	dietary	fat	from	24%	to
6%	was	associated	with	lower	breast	cancer	risk. However,	lower	dietary	fat
in	rural	China	meant	less	consumption	not	only	of	fat	but,	more	importantly,
of	animal-based	food. This	connection	of	breast	cancer	with	dietary	fat,	thus	with	animal-basedfoods,	brought	into	consideration	other	factors	that	also	place	a	woman	at	risk
for	breast	cancer:
Early	age	of	menarche	(age	of	first	menstruation)
High	blood	cholesterol
Late	menopause
High	exposure	to	female	hormones
What	does	the	China	Study	show	regarding	these	risk	factors? Higher
dietary	fat	is	associated	with	higher	blood	cholesterol
I
	and	both	of	these
factors,	along	with	higher	female	hormone	levels,	are	associated,	in	turn,	with
more	breast	cancer
I
	and	earlier	age	of	menarche. I
The	much	later	age	of	menarche	in	rural	China	is	remarkable. Twenty-five
women	in	each	of	the	130	villages	in	the	survey	were	asked	when	they	had
their	first	menstrual	period. The	range	of	village	averages	was	fifteen	to
nineteen	years,	with	an	average	of	seventeen	years. The	U.S.	average	is
roughly	eleven	years! Many	studies	have	shown	that	earlier	menarche	leads	to	higher	risk	for
breast	cancer. 34
	Menarche	is	triggered	by	the	growth	rate	of	the	girl;	the	faster
the	growth,	the	earlier	the	age	of	onset. It	also	is	well	established	that	rapid
growth	of	young	girls	often	leads	to	greater	adult	body	height	and	more	body
weight	and	body	fatness,	each	of	which	is	associated	with	higher	breast
cancer	risk. Early	age	of	menarche,	both	in	Chinese	and	in	Western	women,
also	leads	to	higher	levels	of	blood	hormones	such	as	estrogen. These
hormone	levels	remain	high	throughout	the	reproductive	years	if	consumption
of	a	diet	rich	in	animal-based	food	is	maintained. Under	these	conditions,	age
of	menopause	is	deferred	by	three	to	four	years,
I
	thus	extending	the
reproductive	life	from	beginning	to	end	by	about	nine	to	ten	years	and	greatly
increasing	lifetime	exposure	to	female	hormones. Other	studies	have	shown
that	an	increase	in	years	of	reproductive	life	is	associated	with	increased
breast	cancer	risk. 35,	36
This	network	of	relationships	becomes	still	more	impressive. Higher
fat
consumption	is	associated	with	higher	blood	levels	of	estrogen	during	the
critical	years	of	thirty-five	to	forty-four	years
III
	and	higher	blood	levels	of	the
female	hormone	prolactin	during	the	later	years	of	fifty-five	to	sixty-four
years. III
	These	hormones	are	highly	correlated	with	animal	protein	intake
III
and	milk
III
	and	meat. II
	Unfortunately	we	could	not	demonstrate	whether	these
hormone	levels	were	directly	related	to	breast	cancer	risk	in	China	because
the	rate	of	disease	is	so	low. 37
Nonetheless,	when	hormone	levels	among	Chinese	women	were	comparedwith	those	of	British	women,
38
	Chinese	estrogen	levels	were	only	about	one-
half	those	of	the	British	women,	who	have	an	equivalent	hormone	profile	to
that	of	American	women. Because	the	length	of	the	reproductive	life	of	a
Chinese	woman	is	only	about	75%	of	that	of	the	British	(or	American)
woman,	this	means	that	with	lower	estrogen	levels,	the	Chinese	woman	only
experiences	about	35-40%	of	the	lifetime	estrogen	exposure	of	British	(and
American)	women. This	corresponds	to	Chinese	breast	cancer	rates	that	are
only	one-fifth	of	those	of	Western	women. The	strong	association	of	a	high-animal	protein,	high-fat	diet	with
reproductive	hormones	and	early	age	of	menarche,	both	of	which	raise	the
risk	of	breast	cancer,	is	an	important	observation. It	makes	clear	that	we
should	not	have	our	children	consume	diets	high	in	animal-based	foods. If
you	are	a	woman,	would	you	ever	have	imagined	that	eating	diets	higher	in
animal-based	foods	would	expand	your	reproductive	life	by	about	nine	to	ten
years? As	an	aside,	an	interesting	implication	of	this	observation,	as	noted	by
Ms.	magazine	founder	Gloria	Steinem,	is	that	eating	the	right	foods	could
reduce	teenage	pregnancy	by	delaying	the	age	of	menarche. Beyond	the	hormone	findings,	is	there	a	way	to	show	that	animal-based
food	intake	relates	to	overall	cancer	rates? This	is	somewhat	difficult,	but	one
of	the	factors	we	measured	was	how	much	cancer	there	was	in	each	family. Animal	protein	intake	was	convincingly	associated	in	the	China	Study	with
the	prevalence	of	cancer	in	families. III
	This	association	is	an	impressive	and
significant	observation,	considering	the	unusually	low	intake	of	animal
protein

all-star	team	of	animal	foods	and	drug	industries	representatives	is	going	to
objectively	judge	and	promote	optimal	nutrition,	which	science	has	shown	to
be	a	whole	foods,	plant-based	diet	that	minimizes	the	need	for	drugs? Or
might	they	try	to	protect	the	meat-centered,	Western	diet	where	everyone
expects	to	pop	a	pill	for	every	sickness? This	organization	is	creating	nutrition
curricula,	involving	CD-ROMS,	and	giving	them	away	to	medical	schools	for
free. As	of	late	2003,	112	medical	schools	were	using	the	curriculum. 11

The	dairy	industry	has	also	funded	research	investigations	into	nutrition
education	in	medical	schools
12
	and	has	funded	“prestigious”	awards. 13,	14
These	efforts	show	that	industry	is	well	prepared	to	promote	its	monetary
interests	whenever	the	opportunity	presents	itself. You	should	not	assume	that	your	doctor	has	any	more	knowledge	about
food	and	its	relation	to	health	than	your	neighbors	and	coworkers. It’s	a
situation	in	which	nutritionally	untrained	doctors	prescribe	milk	and	sugar-
based	meal-replacement	shakes	for	overweight	diabetics,	high-meat,	high-fat
diets	for	patients	who	ask	how	to	lose	weight
and	extra	milk	for	patients	who
have	osteoporosis. The	health	damage	that	results	from	doctors’	ignorance	of
nutrition	is	astounding. Apparently,	there	aren’t	enough	“nutrition-oriented	physician	role	models”
in	medical	education. A	recent	survey	found	“a	shortage	of	nutrition-oriented
physician	role	models	is	probably	the	major	constraint	in	teaching	nutrition	to
residents.”
12
	I	suspect	that	these	medical	programs	lack	nutrition-oriented
physicians	simply	because	they	do	not	make	it	a	priority	to	hire	them. Nobody
knows	this	better	than	Dr.	John	McDougall.DR. MCDOUGALL’S	CHALLENGE
Dr.	John	McDougall	has	been	advocating	a	whole	foods,	plant-based
approach	to	health	longer	than	any	practitioner	I	know. He	has	written	ten
books,	including	several	that	have	sold	over	a	half	a	million	copies	each. His
nutrition	and	health	knowledge	is	phenomenal,	greater	than	any	other	doctor
I’ve	met	and	greater	than	any	of	my	nutrition	colleagues	in	academia. We	met
recently	in	his	Northern	California	home,	and	one	of	the	first	things	he
showed	me	was	his	bank	of	four	or	five	full-	size	metal	file	cabinets	lined	up
along	the	back	of	his	study. There	can’t	be	many	people	in	the	country	with	a
collection	of	scientific	literature	on	diet	and	disease	that	could	rival	John
McDougall’s,	and,	most	importantly,	John	maintains	a	high	level	of
familiarity	with	all	of	it. It	is	not	unusual	for	him	to	spend	a	couple	of	hours	a
day	on	the	Internet	reviewing	the	latest	journal	articles. If	anybody	would	be	a
perfect	“nutrition-oriented	physician	role	model”	in	an	educational	setting,	it
would	be	Dr.	John	McDougall. Growing	up,	John	ate	a	rich,	Western	diet. As	he	says,	he	had	four	feasts	a
day:	Easter	during	breakfast,	Thanksgiving	at	lunch,	Christmas	at	dinner	and
a	birthday	party	for	dessert. It	caught	up	to	him,	and	at	the	age	of	eighteen,	a
few	months	into	college,	John	had	a	stroke. After	recovering	with	a	new
appreciation	for	life,	he	became	a	straight	A	student	as	an	undergraduate	and
then	completed	medical	school	in	Michigan	and	an	internship	in	Hawaii. He
chose	to	practice	on	the	Big	Island	of	Hawaii,	where	he	cared	for	thousands	of
patients,	some	of	whom	had	recently	migrated	from	China	or	the	Philippines,
and	some	who	were	fourth	generation	Chinese	or	Filipino	Americans. It	was	there	that	John	became	an	unhappy	doctor. Many	of	his	patients’
health	problems	were	a	result	of	chronic	illnesses,	such	as	obesity,	diabetes,
cancer,	heart	disease	and	arthritis. John	would	treat	them	as	he	was	taught,
with	the	standard	sets	of	pills	and	procedures,	but	very
few	of	them	became
healthy. Their	chronic	diseases	didn’t	go	away,	and	John	quickly	realized	that
he	had	severe	limitations	as	a	doctor. He	also	started	to	learn	something	else
from	his	patients:	the	first	and	second	generation	Americans	from	Asia,	the
ones	who	ate	more	traditional,	Asian	staple	diets	of	rice	and	vegetables,	were
trim,	fit	and	not	afflicted	with	the	chronic	diseases	that	plagued	John’s	other
patients. The	third	and	fourth	generation	Asian	Americans,	however,	had	fully
adopted	America’s	eating	habits	and	suffered	from	obesity,	diabetes	and	the
whole	host	of	other	chronic	diseases. It	was	from	these	people	that	John
began	to	notice	how	important	diet	was	for	health. Because	John	wasn’t	healing	people,	and	the	pills	and	procedures	weren’t
working,	he	decided	he	needed	more	education	and	entered	a	graduatemedical	program	(residency)	at	the	Queens	Medical	Center	in	Honolulu. It
was	there	that	he	began	to	understand	the	boundaries	that	the	medical
establishment	had	set	and	the	way	that	medical	education	molds	the	way
doctors	are	supposed	to	think. John	went	into	the	program	hoping	to	find	out	how	to	perfect	the	pills	and
procedures	so	that	he	could	become	a	better	doctor. But	after	observing
experienced	doctors	treating	their	patients	with	pills	and	procedures,	he
realized	that
these	authoritative	doctors	didn’t	do	any	better	than	he	did. Their
patients	didn’t	just	stay	sick—they	got	worse. John	realized	something	was
wrong	with	the	system,	not	him,	so	he	began	to	read	the	scientific	literature. Like	Dr.	Esselstyn,	once	he	started	reading	the	literature,	John	became
convinced	that	a	whole	foods,	plant-based	diet	had	the	potential	not	only	to
prevent	these	diseases	that	were	plaguing	patients,	but	also	the	potential	to
treat	them. This	idea,	he	was	to	find	out,	was	not	received	kindly	by	his
teachers	and	colleagues. In	this	environment,

Because the lower levels of c onsciousness are the most painful and
dif ficult to endure, it seemed best to start up the ladder of consciousness
from the  very bottom levels, which are the most agonizing. Just because
they are  the most painful does not mean they are the most di f ficult to
transcend. On the contrary, the very pain of such lower levels ur ges one
forward to seek relief. In transc ending the levels of con sciousness, the importance of the human
‘will’ is emphasized because it is the most critical of all functions in
spiritual work. Relatively little  attention has been paid to the will inproportion to its extreme importance, for the will is the invitation to
Divine intervention.PREF ACE. The bas ic research on the natur e and levels of consciousness has been
described in previous works. The first was published in the form of a
dissertation ( Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis and Calibration of
the Levels of Human Consciousness, 1995.) Next came Power vs. For ce
(also 1995), which included  explanations and elaboratio ns. The
following two books were devoted to spiritual truth and enligh tenment:
The Eye of the I (2001), and I: Reality and Subjectivity (2003). While the last two books were devoted to personal enlightenment, T ruth
vs. Falsehood (2005) investiga ted the distribution and evolution of levels
of c onsciousnes s in public life and society, as well as in the individual. The thrust of th at study was to denote a roadway to peace and  integrity
and hop efully lessen the likelihood of war by providing an accessible,
pragmatic, clinical science of truth. This book returns to focusing  on the individual and stud ying the
experiential subjective blocks to the advancement of consciousness that
leads to  progressive spiritual awareness and on to higher levels of
consciousness p reparatory to advanced states such as Enlig htenment
itself. The material is drawn from multiple sources, including fifty years
of psychiatric practice; psychoanalysis; twenty-five years of research
into the nature of consciousness; and transformative, subjective spiritual
experiences that have been described elsewhere. In t his book, as in previous ones, the calibrated levels o f major
statements are included. Note th at due to more recent discoveries in the evolving field of
consciousness re search, the instructions for doing the muscle test have
been revised and updated (see Appendix B).INTRODUCTION

The all-pervasive universal ener gy field called consciousness is of
infinite power and dimension beyond time and is compositionally
nonlinear. It is the ‘light of the world’ as it emanates f rom the
Unmanifest to the Manifest, from  the nonlinear, infinite potentiality to its
linear expression as the unfolding of Creation (the circumscribed,
perceived physical domain). The power of the infinite field of consciousness and its infinite
potentiality man ifests as matter. Later, the interface of the Light of
Divinity as the field of consciou sness in its encounter with matt er results
in the emer gence of the unique quality and ener gy of life itself. Although
matter h as enorm ous potentialit y, it lacks the innate quality or power to
evolve t o the field of existenc e termed ‘life’. Matter plus e volution
results in the dimension of ‘time’. Then, matter plus time is expressed as
‘space’, subsequent to which the existence of time, space, and matter is
discernible by intelligence, an a spect of Divinity expressed as L ife. That
life ema nates solely as a cons equence of Divinity is confirmable at
consciousness level 1,000, the level of the Absolute. Creation is capable of being known solely by virtue of the pre sence of
consciousness, which is the very matrix of existence itself. Thus,
consciousness is the irreducible  a priori reality by which the linear is
perceived by the subjective awareness of the nonlinear. Consciousness t hen evolves through progressive levels of power that can
be c alibrated as to relative streng th, much as is done with a light  meter or
any oth er measurement of ener gy waves, whether kinetic, radio, or
magnetic comp onents of the well-known stratifications ca lled the
electromagnetic spectrum. In th e 1970s, a clinical science emer ged based on the use of life ener gy
and its interaction with the inf inite field of consciousness itself. This
resulted in the c alibrated levels of the Map of Consciousness  that has
subsequently be come well known worldwide as a consequence of its
presentation in a series of bo oks in many languages and n umerous
lectures in the United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe. The desi gnated l evels were stratified in accordance with their nu merical,
calibrated levels of power according to a logarithmic scale from ‘1’
(indicating existence) to the highest level at ‘1,000’, which is the highest
ener gy f ield pos sible in the hum an domain and reached by only  the few
throughout history who have traditionally been referred to as the Great
A vatars (the founders of the wor ld’ s great religions, such as Jesu s Christ,
Buddha, Zoroaster, and Krishn a), and who were enlightened by the
Divine Presence  that replaced the linear, limited, ordinary human mind
with the nonlinear Reality. The  Self, indicative of the presenc e of the
Divine as immanent, is sometim es referred to in classical lite rature as
Universal Mind. By transcendence, the ego-self is replaced by the non-
ego Self  (see Hawkins, 1995, 2 001, 2003). This phenomenon has been
traditionally termed ‘Enlightenment’. The emer gence of a clinical s cience of truth has been desc ribed in
previous works. One important statement about the infinite field of
consciousness is that it represents the Absolute by which all else can be
calibrated as to degrees of being relative to it. The mechanism is the
living clinical science of muscle  testing, which uses the human  nervous
system and the ener gy of life  as expressed through the acu puncture
ener gy system as the requisite sensitive biological measuring instrument. (The technique cannot be duplicated by nonliving scientific instruments.) In t he presence of T ruth, the  body’ s musculature goes ‘strong’. In
contrast, it goes ‘weak’ when c onfronted with falsehood (whi ch is the
absence of truth, not its opposite). This is a rapid and transitory response
that quickly reveals the degree of truth of the presented stimulus. The infinitely powerful, all-present timeless field of consciousness is
comparable to an electrostatic fi eld that is motionless unless trig gered by
the chal lenge of a presenting e lectrical char ge that then activates the
electrostatic fiel d, which responds with an equal and opposite char ge to
precisely the same degree. The electrostatic field, in and of its elf, does
not ‘do’ anything but merely responds and records. Unlike the electrostatic field, the timeless field of consciousness is
permanent and thereby records  all that has occurred or existed from
within time/space/evolution. The field itself stands beyond time, space,
or any known d imension and instead includes all dimensions, without
being altered by them. The in finite field is omnipresent, omnipotent,omniscient, and  uniquely identifiable as the Absolute by w hich all
expressions of evolution or existence can be compared. Everything in the universe, inclu ding even a passing thought, is recorded
forever in the timeless field o f consciousness, which is everywhere
equally present. All that has ever occurred, either physically or by
thought, is equally available because the field is beyond time and space. There is no ‘here’ or ‘there’; there is no ‘now’ or ‘then’. The totality is
equally and permanently present everywhere. The Ma p of Consciousness is t herefore a very practical and pragmatic
guide to understanding the evolutionary levels of consciousness to be
transcended in pursuit of spiritual advancement, enlightenment, or self-

needed  and has helped more than any other treatment in cases of heart trouble, fatigue, dizziness, poor memory and paralysis. The
average person should maintain the foot end of the board at chair height for all exercises, but if dizzy at first, the foot e nd of t he
board should not be raised quite so high. Exercise only 5 minutes a day. Gradually increase time spent on the board. The aver age
patient should lie on the board 10 minutes at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and again just before going to bed. After retiring,  lift the
buttocks to allow the organs to return to a normal position. SUGGESTED EXERCISES (USE ANKLE STRAPS WHILE DOING THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES)
(Numbered exercises correspond to illustrations. ) 1. Lie full length, allowing gravity to help the abdominal organs into their position. For best results, lie on board at least 10
minutes. 2. While lying flat on back, stretch the abdomen by putting arms above head. Bring arms above head 10 to 15 times: this stret ches
the abdominal muscles and pulls the abdomen do wn toward the shoulders. 3. Bring abdominal organs toward shoulders while holding breath. Move the organs back and forth by drawing them upward,
contracting abdominal muscles, then allowing them to go back to a relaxed position. Do this 10 to 15 times. 4. Pat abdomen vigorously with open hands. Lean to one side then to the other, patting the stretched side. Pat 10 to 15 times ea ch
side. Bring the body to sitting position, using the abdominal muscles. Return to lying position. Do this 3 to 4 times, if pos sible. Do
only if doctor orders. HOLD ON TO THE HANDLES, FEET OUT OF STRAPS, WHILE DOING THESE EXERCISES:
5. Bend knees and legs at hips. While in this position: (a) turn head from side to side 5 or 6 times; (b) lift head slightly and rotate in
circles 3 or 4 times. 6. Lift legs to vertical position, rotate outward in circles 8 or 10times. Increase to 25 times after a week or two of exerci sing. 7. Bring legs straight up to a vertical position and lower them to the board slowly. Repeat 3 or 4 times. 8. Bicycle  legs in air 15to 25 times. Relax and rest, letting the blood circulate in the head for 10 minutes. ELEVEN -DAY ELIMINATION REGIME
There are many eliminative regimes, and they all accomplish about the same results, through the fact that the body is g iven less
food, simpler foods and simpler combinations, more watery foods - so a greater transition can take place in the cells of the body. This Eleven -Day Elimination Regime can be used by most persons in health, and for those who want to overcome the av erage
physical disorder. Those who are weak or feeble, however, should not follow the plan the full eleven days without supervision. Those with tuberculosis should have both supervision and assistance. Variation, as to the length of time and the manner in  which the foods are to be taken, may be adjusted to suit the history of the
patient. Examples: fruits, vegetables and broths can be taken for 1 day; or 1 day of just fruit; or 1, 2 or 3 days of vegetab les only. Vegetables, taken in the form of broths, gen tly steamed vegetables and salads are a safer routine for the average beg inner than
citrus fruits. A hot bath should be taken every night during this diet regime. Enemas may be used the first four or five days, then
discontinued for natural movements. Not hing but water and fruit juices, preferably grapefruit, should be taken into the body for the
first three days. Drink one glass of juice every four hours of the day. The next two days fruit only - such as grapes, melons,
tomatoes, pears, peaches, plums; dr ied fruit such as prunes, figs, peaches, soaked overnight or baked apple. In the six following days, breakfast should consist of citrus fruits. Between breakfast and lunch, any other kind of fruit. F or lunch,
have a salad of three to six vegetables and tw o cups of vital broth. When hungry between meals, fruit or fruit juices may be taken. Dinner should consist of two or three steamed vegetables and two cups of vital broth. Fruit juices can be taken before retiri ng, if
wanted. Rigid adherence to the diet is  an absolute necessity for anyone attempting to regain good health. Eat plenty, but not to
satiety. VITAL BROTH RECIPE:
2 C. carrot tops; 1 clove garlic; 2 C. potato peelings (1/2" thick); 2 C. beet tops; 2 C. celery tops; 3 C. celery stalk; 2 q t distille d
water; 1/2 tsp Savita or Vegex. Add a carrot and onion to flavor, if desired (grate or chop). Ingredients should be finely chopped. Bring to a boil, slowly: simmer approximately 20 minutes. Use only the broth after straining. When finished with the above  regime return to Dr. Jensen’s Daily Food Regime. The above elimination regime should be followed whenever a person changes from the old ways of living and begins to live righ t. As a rule, it is wise to follow the elimination regime in any and all of the f ollowing cases: as a general cleanser two or three times a
year; at the time of crisis; when reduction of weight is desired; when hips get too large; when joints get stiff; when the sk in breaks
out; when constipation is present. THE MASTER CHLOROPHYLL ELI MINATION DIET
This is a diet of just plain water, preferably using distil led water, and using one teaspoon of a liquid chlorophyll to one glass of
water every three hours. You can also use vegetable juice, but this is a diet where we are adding iron, gath ering all the oxygen we
can while we are breathing, and burning up the toxic waste by using the iron as found in liquid chlorophyll. Liquid chlorophy ll is
usually made as an extract from alfalfa leaves, which is one of the highest things we have in potassi um iron, which will attract the
oxygen to the body. Doing this for three or four days is a wonderful pre -elimination diet to fasting or to any other type of dieting. I
consider this to be the master -cleansing diet for all catarrhal conditions. In the prese nce of greens, we find that catarrh is
eliminated best from the body. WATERMELON FLUSH
There are times during the watermelon season that we can use watermelon as a good elimination diet. Going on watermelon for
three, four or five days is a wonderful kidn ey eliminant, a diuretic. We find that it helps to take out a lot of the debris in the colon
and the extra water picks up toxic materials and carries them off. ONE DAY A WEEK FAST
On a one day a week fast regime you can be on a juice diet or a fruit on th e one day – and rest. Many people like to go on a fast
one day a week. This is perfectly all right if you will rest that day - but you MUST rest. You cannot expect to get the good yielded
by a rest without food by using all of your energy and leaving yours elf depleted by working on a day that you do not eat. FASTING
Fasting is the quickest way of bringing about elimination in the body and the fastest way of getting toxic materials out of t he body. This is done through complete rest - physical, psychologica l and psychic. As we let the body rest, it develops tone and vitality,
more than is possible by any other procedure. I believe rest is a cure because it gives us the vitality we need to throw off toxic
material and to eliminate the debris that has been acc umulated over a period of years. We can literally withdraw toxic
accumulations through a fast. We find that there are many ways to fast. I think the better way is to take a half glass of wat er every
hour and a half throughout the day. If it is a hot day, y ou may need more water and it is all right since you perspire more. Be sure
not to take big gulps of water at one time. The water should be cool but not ice cold. Take daily enemas the first few days, then
reduce this to every other day or every third or f ourth day, depending upon the length of time you fast. While you are fasting you
should rest as much as possible. If you hike or walk, do it on level ground. Do nothing to the point of tiring. This is impor tant in
fasting. JUICE FASTING
I don’t think it’s  any particular juice that will cure anything - but I believe the rest you give your body allows it the opportunity to
reverse the disease and recover your health. It’s the rest from food and the simple diet that does the trick. The lack of too  many
food m ixtures and less demand made on our digestive and eliminative systems help us to

completely all that my senses reveal. I deny the evidence of my senses. I
suspend the limited reason of the natural man and walk in this bold asser -
tion that I am what my senses deny. With the door of my senses closed, what do I take into that disciplined
state? I take no one into that state but the parents of the child and my
disciples. I close the door against the mocking, laughing crowd. I no
longer look for confirmation. I completely deny the evidence of my sens -
es, which mock my assumption and do not discuss with others whether
my assumption is possible or not. Who are the parents? We have discovered that the father-mother of all
creation is man's I Amness. Man's consciousness is God. I am conscious
of the state. I am the father-mother of all my ideas and my mind remains
faithful to this new concept of self. My mind is disciplined. I take into that
state the disciples, and I shut out of that state everything that would
deny it. Now the child, unaided by man, is resurrected. The condition which I de -
sired and assumed I had, becomes objectified within my world and bears
witness to the power of my assumption. You be the judge, I cannot judge you. You are either living now in the
dead past, or you are living as the woman whose issue of blood has been
staunched. Could you actually answer me if I asked you the question: “Do

I am not being critical of certain churches or groups, but there are those

and Christians are the infidels. You talk to someone else and all these are
the untouchables. It does not matter to whom you talk, they are always
the chosen ones. If you believe that you must be one of these in order to be saved, you are
still an insane man hiding behind these superstitions and these prejudices
of the past, and you are begging not to be cleansed. Some of you say to me, “Do not ask me to give up my belief in Jesus the
man, or in Moses the man, or in Peter the man. When you ask me to give
up my belief in these characters you are asking too much. Leave me
these beliefs because they comfort me. I can believe that they lived upon
earth and still follow your psychological interpretation of their stories.”
I say, come out of the dead past. Come out of that cemetery and walk,
knowing that you and your Father are one, and your Father, who men call
God, is your own consciousness. That is the only creative law in the world. Of what are you conscious of being? Although you cannot see your objec -

that which you have assumed you are. Walk in the assumption and re -
main faithful to it. Time in this dimension of your being, beats slowly and you may not, even
after you objectify your assumption, remember there was a time when
this present reality was but an attitude of mind. Because of the slowness
of the beat of time here you often fail to see the relationship between
your inner nature and the outer world that bears witness to it. You be the judge of the position you now occupy in this 5th chapter of
Mark. Are you resurrecting the dead child? Are you still in need of having
that womb of your mind closed? Is it still running and therefore cannot be
fertile? Are you now the insane man living in the dead past? Only you can
be the judge and answer these questions. More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven*****

Now we turn to a story in the 5th chapter of the Gospel of John. This will
show you how beautifully the ancient story tellers told of the two distinct
outlooks on this world – one, the limited three-dimensional focus, and the
other, the fourth-dimensional focus. This story tells of an impotent man who is quickly healed. Jesus comes to
a place called Bethesda, which by definition means the House of Five
Porches. On these Five Porches are unnumbered impotent folk – lame,
blind, halt, withered, and others. Tradition had it that at certain seasons
of the year an angel would descend and disturb the pool which was near
these Five Porches. As the Angel disturbed the pool, the first one in was
always healed. But only the first one, not the second. Jesus, seeing a man who was lame from his mother's womb, said to him,
“Wilt thou be made whole?” (John 5:6). “The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool – but while I am coming, another step -
peth down before me.” (John 5:7). “Jesus saith unto him. Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.” (John 5:8). “And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and
walked, and on the same day was the Sabbath.” (John 5:9). You read this story and you think some strange man who possessed
miraculous power suddenly said to the lame man, “Rise and walk.” I can -
not repeat too often that the story, even when it introduces numberless
individualities, takes place within the mind of the individual man. The pool is your consciousness. The angel is an idea, called the messen -
ger of God. Consciousness being God, when you have an idea you are en -
tertaining an angel. The minute you are conscious of a desire your pool
has been disturbed. Desire disturbs the mind of man. To want something
is to be disturbed. The very moment you have an ambition, or a clearly defined objective,
the pool has been disturbed by the angel, which was the desire. You are
told that the first one into the disturbed pool is always healed. My closest companions in this world, my wife and my little girl, are to me
when I address them, second. I must speak to my wife as, “you are.” I
must speak to anyone, no matter how close they are, as “you are.” And
after that the third person, “he is.” There is only one person in this world
with whom I can use the first person present and that is self. “I am,” can
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenbe said only of myself, it cannot be said of another. Therefore, when I am conscious of some desire that I want to be, but
seemingly am not, the pool being disturbed, who can get into that pool
before me? I alone possess the power of the first person. I am that which
I want to be. Except I believe I am what I want to be, I remain as I for -
merly was and die in that limitation. In this story you need no man to put you into the pool as your conscious -
ness is disturbed by desire. All you need do is to assume you are already
that which formerly you wanted to be and you are in it, and no man can
get in before you. What man can get in before you when you become con -
scious of being that which you want to be? No one can be before you
when you alone possess the power to say I AM. These are the two outlooks. You are now what your senses would deny. Are you bold enough to assume that you are already that which you want
to be? If you dare assume you are already that which your reason and
your senses now deny, then you are in the pool and, unaided by a man,
you, too, will rise and take your couch and walk. You are told it happened on the Sabbath. The Sabbath is only the mystical
sense of stillness, when you are unconcerned, when you are not anxious,
when you are not looking  for results, knowing that signs follow and do
not precede. The Sabbath is the day of stillness wherein there is no working. When you
are not working to make it so you are in the Sabbath. When you are not
at all concerned about the opinion of others, when you walk as though
you were, you cannot raise one finger to make it so, you are in the Sab -
bath. I cannot be concerned as to how it will be, and still say I am con -
scious of being it. If I am conscious of being free, secure, healthy, and
happy, I sustain these states of consciousness without effort or labor on
my part. Therefore, I am in the Sabbath; and because

This is such a holographic experience—so real in this
moment—that you don't even feel as if you need the car,
because it feels like you have it already. Dr. Vitale's words brilliantly sum up the place you want to get
yourself to when visualizing. When it feels like a jolt as you open
your eyes in the physical world, your visualization became real. But that state, that plane, is the real. It is the field where everything
is created, and the physical is just the result of the real held of all
creation. That's why you won't feel as if you need it anymore, be-
cause you tuned in and felt the real field of creation through your
visualization. In that field, you have everything now. When you
feel that, you will know it. 84 The Secret
JACK CAN FIELD
It's the feeling that really creates the attraction, not just
the picture or the thought. A lot of people think, "If I think
positive thoughts, or if I visualize having what I want, that
will be enough." But if you're doing that and still not feeling
abundant, or feeling loving or joyful, then it doesn't create the
power of the attraction.. BOB DOYLE
You put yourself in the feeling place of really being in that
car. Not "I wish I could get that car," or, "Some day I'll have
that car," because that's a very definite feeling associated with
that. It's not in the now. It's in the future. If you stay in that
feeling, it will always be in the future. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
Now that feeling and that inner seeing will begin to be an
open doorway through which the power of the Universe will
begin to express. "What this power is I cannot say. All know is

The "hows" are the domain of the Universe. It always knows
the shortest, quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between
you and your dream. DR. JOE VITALE
If you turn it over to the Universe, you will be surprised and
dazzled by what is delivered to you. This is where magic and
miracles happen. The teachers of The Secret are all aware of the elements you bring
into play when you visualize. As you see the picture in your mind
and feel it, you are bringing yourself to a place of believing you
have it now. You are also implementing trust and faith in the Uni-
verse, because you are focusing on the end result and experiencing
the feeling of that, without giving any attention whatsoever to
"how" it will come about. Your picture in your mind is seeing it
as done. Your feelings are seeing it as done. Your mind and your
entire state of being are seeing it as already happened. That is the art
of visualization. DR. JOE VITALE
You want to do this virtually daily, but it should never
be a chore. What's really important to the whole Secret is
feeling good. You want to feel exhilarated by this whole
process. You want to be high, happy, in tune, as much as
possible. 86 The Secret
Here's a tip about visualizing, which Dr. John Demartini shares in
his Breakthrough Experience seminars. John said that if you create
a static picture in your mind it can be difficult to hold that picture,
so create lots of movement in your picture. To illustrate this, imagine your kitchen again, and this time imag-
ine yourself entering that kitchen, walking to the refrigerator and
putting your hand on the door handle, opening the door, looking
inside, and finding a cold bottle of water. Reach in and grab it. You
can feel the coldness on your hand as you grasp the bottle. You
have the bottle of water in one hand, and you use your other hand
to close the refrigerator door. Now that you are visualizing your
kitchen with detail and movement it's easier to see and hold the
picture, isn't it? Everyone has the power to visualize. Let me prove it to you with
a picture of a kitchen. For this to work, first of all you have to get
all thoughts of your kitchen out of your mind. Do not think of your
kitchen. Totally clear your mind of pictures of your kitchen, with
its cupboards, refrigerator, oven, tiles, and color scheme...
You saw a picture of your kitchen in your mind, didn't you? Well,
then you just visualized! "Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or
not. Visualizing is the great secret of success." Powerful Processes 87

The only difference between people who live in this way, who
live in the magic of life, and those who don't is that the people
who live in the magic of life have habituated ways of being. They've made a habit of using the law of attraction, and magic
happens with them wherever they go. Because they remember
to use it. They use it all the time, not just as a one-time event. Here are two true stories that clearly demonstrate the powerful law
of attraction and the immaculate matrix of the Universe in action. The first story is about a woman named Jeannie, who bought a
DVD of The Secret and was watching it at least once a day so that
she would absorb the message right into the cells of her body. She
was particularly impressed with Bob Proctor, and she thought it
would be wonderful to meet him. One morning Jeannie collected her mail, and to her utter amaze-
ment the mailman had accidentally delivered Bob Proctor's mail "We all possess more power and greater
possibilities than we realize, and visualizing is
one of the greatest of these powers." 88 The Secret
to her address. What Jeannie didn't know is that Bob Proctor lived
just four blocks away from her! Not only that, but Jeannie's house
number was the same number as Bob's. She immediately took
the mail to deliver it to the correct address. Can you imagine her
utter delight when the door opened and Bob Proctor was standing
before her? Bob is rarely at home as he travels all over the world
teaching, but the matrix of the Universe knows only perfect timing. From Jeannie's thought of how wonderful it would be to meet Bob
Proctor, the law of attraction moved people, circumstances, and
events throughout the Universe so that it happened. The second story involves a ten-year-old boy named Colin, who
had seen and loved The Secret. Colin's family made a weeklong
visit to Disney World, and on their first day they experienced long
lines at the park. So that night, just before Colin fell asleep, he
thought, "Tomorrow I'd love to go on all the big rides and never
have to wait in line." The next morning, Colin and his family were at the gates of
Epcot Center as the park opened, and a Disney staff member ap
proached and asked them if they would be Epcot's First Family of
the Day. As First Family they would be given VIP status, a special
escort by a staff member, and walk-on passes for every big ride in
Epcot. It was everything and more that Colin had wished for! Hundreds of families were waiting to enter Epcot that morning,
but Colin didn't have the slightest doubt as to why his family had
been chosen First Family. He knew it was because he had used The
Secret. Powerful Processes 89
Imagine discovering—at the age of ten—that the power to move
worlds lies within you! "Nothing can prevent your picture from coming
into concrete form except the same power which
gave it birth—yourself." JAMES RAY
People hold that for a while; and they're really a champion
at it. They say, "I'm fired up. I saw this program and I'm
going to change my life." And yet results aren't showing. Beneath the surface it's just about ready to break through, but
the person will look just at the surface results and say, "This
stuff doesn 't work." And you know what? The Universe says,
"Your wish is my command," and it disappears. When you allow a thought of doubt to enter your mind, the law
of attraction will soon line up one doubtful thought after another. The moment a thought of doubt comes, release it immediately. Send that thought on its way. Replace it with "I know I am receiving
now." And feel it. JOHN ASSARAF
Knowing the law of attraction, I wanted to really put it to
use and to see what would happen. In 1995 I started to create
something called a Vision Board, where I take something that The Secret
I want to achieve, or something that I want to attract, like
a car or a watch or the soul mate of my dreams, and I put a
picture of what I want up on this board. Every day I would
sit in my office and I would look up at this board and I would
start to visualize. I would really get into the state of having
already acquired it. I was getting ready to move. We put all the furniture, all the
boxes, into storage, and I made three different moves over a


 cent, since in several
hundred skulls not a single tooth was found to have been attacked by tooth decay. Dental arch
deformity and the typical change in facial form due to an inadequate nutrition were also completely
absent, all dental arches having a form and interdental relationship such as to bring them into the
classification of normal. These are illustrated in Figs. 22 and 23. The problem of reaching the
isolated groups living in the depth of the Cypress Swamps was complicated by the fact that these
people had a dread of all whites growing out of their belief that they had been grossly taken
advantage of in some of their early efforts to make a treaty with the whites. With the assistance of
three guides, one, an Indian of their own group, another, a white man whom they trusted, and the
third, a government nurse who had been very helpful in case of sickness, we were able to take the
desired measurements and records and photographs. A group of these more primitive
representatives is shown in Fig. 24. While their hunting territory had been grossly encroached upon
by the white hunters, they were still able to maintain a very high degree of physical excellence and
high immunity to dental caries. Only four teeth in each hundred examined were found to have been
attacked by tooth decay. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Florida largely beyond contact with the white civilization still
produce magnificent teeth and dental arches of which these
are typical. They live in the Everglade forest and still obtain
the native foods. Practically all of the dental arches were normal in contour with freedom from facial distortion. In
contrast with this, the Indians of Florida who are living today in contact with modern civilization
present a pathetic picture. Forty out of every hundred teeth examined were found to have been
attacked by tooth decay, typically illustrated in Fig. 25. In the latest generation, many dental arches
showed a typical deformation with crowding of the teeth and narrowing of the face, conditions that
have been found in all human stocks when on an inadequate nutrition during the formative and early
growth period. A group of these is typically illustrated in Fig. 26. FIG. 25. The Seminole Indians of Florida who are living in

with a narrowing of the nostrils and dental arches with
crowding of the teeth. Their faces are stamped with the
blight which so many often think of as normal because it is
so common with us. It is of interest that the quality of the skeletal material that is taken from the mounds showed
unusually fine physical development and freedom from joint involvements. In contrast with this,
many of the individuals of the modernized group were suffering from advanced deformities of the
skeleton due to arthritic processes. The effects of the excellent nutrition of the pre-Columbian Indians is indicated in the
comparative thickness of the skulls. In Fig. 27 are shown two pieces of a pre-Columbian skull in
contrast with a modern skull. The specimen of a trephined lower jaw, shown in Fig. 27 (right)
indicates a knowledge of surgery that is very remarkable. The margins show new bone growth. The operation opened a cyst. FIG. 27. Left: Example of greater thickness of pre-Columbian

Mexico, was visited. Several other Indian studies have been made including studies of living groups, recently opened
burials and museum collections, all of which support the findings recorded here. I am indebted to
the directors and to the staffs of these institutions for their assistance. Notwithstanding the wide range of physical and climatic conditions under which primitive
Indians had been living, their incidence of tooth decay while on their native foods was always near
zero; whereas, the modernized Indians of these groups showed very high incidence of dental
caries. A summary of percentages follows: Primitive Indians: Pelly Mountain, 0.16 per cent;

Florida Seminoles, 40.0 per cent. The foods used by the primitives varies according to location and climate. The foods of the
modernized groups in all cases were the typical white man's foods of commerce. While the primitive groups constantly presented well-formed faces and dental arches
reproducing the tribal pattern, the new generation, after the adoption of white man's foods, showed
marked changes in facial and dental arch form. The Indians like several primitive races I have studied are aware of the fact that their
degeneration is in some way brought about by their contact with the white man. The dislike of the
American Indian for the modern white civilization has been emphasized by many writers. In my
studies among the Seminole Indians of Florida I found great difficulty in communicating with or
making examination of the isolated Seminoles living deep in the Everglades and Cypress Swamp. Fortunately, I had the able assistance of one of their own tribe, a government nurse who had been
very helpful to them and also a white man who had befriended them and whom they trusted. With
their assistance I was able to carry out very detailed studies. It was of interest, however, that when
we arrived at a settlement in the bush we practically always found it uninhabited. Our Indian guide
would go into the surrounding scrub and call to the people assuring them it was to their advantage
to come out, which they finally did. I was told that this attitude had grown out of the belief on their
part that their treaties had been violated. These isolated Seminole Indian women had the reputation
of turning their backs on all white men. A United States Press report (1) provides an article with the heading "Tribes 'Fed Up' Seek
Solitude, Indians Dislike Civilization, Ask Land Barred to White Men." The article continues:
    The Bureau of Indian Affairs revealed today that five Indian tribes in Oklahoma are "fed up"
with white civilization and want new, secluded tribal lands. So widespread is the discontent among the 100,000 Indians living in Oklahoma, officials said,
that serious study is being given to the possibility of providing new lands where the redman
may hunt and fish as his ancestors did. Dissatisfaction has been brewing for a long time as a result of an increasing Indian
population, decreasing Indian lands and unsatisfactory economic conditions. It was brought
officially to the notice of bureau officials several days ago when a delegation, headed by Jack
Gouge, a Creek Indian from Hanna, Okla., told Indian Commissioner John Collier that most of the
Oklahoma Indians wanted new tribal lands away from white civilization. So


 separate phenom
enon but an essential characteristic of the Universe. Numerous names have been given to these electrical fields. We refer to electro-m agnetic fields, electro-static fields, and
electro-dynamic fields and it used to be assumed that these are
different and separate. This is not so. The various names derive
from the instruments used to measure the fields. Thus, instru
ments which depend on magnetic forces would define the field
as electro-magnetic, electro-static measuring instruments would
define it as electro-static; those used in connection with the
dynamic changes in living forms measure electro-dy namic fields. 127 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
The field, of course, is much more important than the instru
ment used to measure parts of it. It is a source of energy which
can be visualized as controlling the organization of the Universe. Its electrical properties not only have magnitude but also direct
ing qualities which determine the position of all the charges
and give direction to the flow of energy. 8
When the ancient Greeks posed the question : 'Why is it that
an acorn always grows into an oak tree and not into a fig tree?' they hit on the central problem of biology, which remained un
solved until modern instruments made it possible to measure the
fields of life. It had long been obvious to many biologists, of course, that
evolution in general and particularly the evolution of the nervous
system have had direction towards some ultimate end. One does
not have to know very much about the human nervous system to
realize that evolution has developed a responding system which
is unique and which has the capacity for a high degree of dis
crimination. If we consider the different levels of control of behaviour, it
becomes clear that much of our behaviour is quite automatic,
determined by the inherited pattern of the nervous system. This
is true not only of neuromuscular mechanisms but also of those
chemical activities of the body which are involved in the whole
process of metabolism, both anabolism and catabolism. On another level, there is the control of motor activity which
can become automatic, as when we walk without thinking how
we do it or use our arms and hands in various ways. Probably
none of us really learned all that is involved in instructing our
fingers to pick up a pencil and write a symbol on a piece of paper. In fact, if we stop to think about some action which has become
automatic, such as tying a tie, we may bungle it. We acquire
these skills by practice and experience and very soon they be
come automatic in the sense that they no longer require the
conscious voluntary control of each muscle. 128 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
At the highest level there is a discriminative control-unique
for each individual which, if he is reasonably 'normal', enables
him to behave in what mankind chooses to call 'a rational way',
and which is built almost entirely on discrimination of past and
present experience. The human organism is unique on this planet
because it possesses this highly-developed ability to discriminate. It is impossible to imagine that the stage-by-stage develop
ment of the nervous system has happened by chance and without
direction because the ability to discriminate is -the natural enemy
of chance. This highly-evolved ability, then, is further proof that
you and I, as living organisms of the human type, are not what
we are by accident. If our nervous systems have not come into existence by acci
dent, then they must have been developed by direction and
organization. The experiments described in this book have
demonstrated that field forces have the necessary qualifications
for this task. We have seen, for instance, that they determine
along which axis of the egg the frog's nervous system will grow
and determine whether a seed will develop into a vigorous plant
or otherwise. We have seen, too, that field-changes precede physi
cal and mental conditions. All this is evidence of their organizing
qualities, as there can be no organization without anticipation. It is submitted, therefore, that we are fully justified in regard
ing the fields of life as the instruments of physical evolution, of
which--on this planet at least-the human nervous system is
the masterpiece. So, the more we study them, the more we can
hope to learn about the nature of mankind. 9
You and I, then, are the products of a pattern of organization,
or, to put it another way, the consequence of design. Alid it is
very difficult to think of a piece of apparatus of any kind
whether it be an electric iron or an atom-smasher-that is not
the product of the mind of a designer. Since, therefore, the Uni
verse exhibits a design, it is not too much of a jump into outer
space to assume that it is the product of a Designer. 129 THE CONTINUING ADVENTUR E
As it is impossible to believe that the Universe has more than
one Designer, the Universe is-as the word implies-a unit, set
up and maint ained by its electrical field. This all-embracing field
is the creation and instrument of the Designer. You and I are
part of that field and that design and not-as some like to sup
pose-accidental agglomerations of chaotic components. With our limited knowledge of the field and our ignorance of
its Designer it would be foolish to speculate about their nature. It
is for each individual to reach a personal understanding of these
things which satisfies his own unique requirements. The primary value of the field concept is that it gives meaning
for the Universe to you and me because design and organization
imply not only direction but also purpose. This concept, too,
offers a picture of the Universe which should be as acceptable as
the law of gravity to many of different faiths, whether in the
United States or Central Asia. It in no way conflicts with any of those religions which teach
that there is only one God. On the contrary, it reinforces their
teaching by eliminating the need for two sets of laws in the
Universe, material and spiritual. If we can accept that there is
one Designer and one overall field, to which all humanity is
subject, there is no longer any necessity to postulate one law for
the material and another for the spiritual. If the idea of two sets of laws could be eliminated, it should
be easier for the human race to resolve some of its problems and
disagreements. There is general agreement in all civilized
countries about the law of gr'lvity and other natural laws. But
there are numerous-and sometimes violent-divergencies of
opinion across the world about spiritual or moral laws; as this is
written, for instance, there are religious riots in Northern Ireland. If it could be more widely accep�ed that the entire human race is
subject to the same laws of the Universe and is a part of its
purpose and destiny, it is at least possible that these disagree
ments would gradually diminish. Even the laws devised by lawyers, which ostensibly reflect the
'conscience' of the community, may one day be brought into
closer relation with the laws of Nature as that 'conscience' be
comes less confused and variable. 130 THE CONTI NUIN G ADVENTURE
This brings up the great problem of good and evil because
lawyer-made laws are usually designed to maintain order and to
control 'wrong-doing'. We know so little that we still have to
think of good and evil as two opposite things; and we nearly
always come a cropper when we try to define what is good and
true and beautiful. Probably the only solid definition of what is
'good' is something that is valid or demonstrably true-some
thing which is in harmony with known natural laws. For instance, the law of gravity is demonstrably true and there
fore legally and morally right. We accept that; and we do not
regard it as 'evil' Or to blame if a man defies it and falls off a
cliff. Admittedly this is a first approximation to the problem. But
it suggests the need to re-calibrate our concepts of 'good' and 'evil'
by relating them to natural laws as far as we can. Why is it that some of us do not conform to the environment
in which we live and do things which are called bad or evil?<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        The apparen tly-beau tiful correlation be
tween cambium growth and voltage gradient disappeared in a
long-range study. This implied that the voltage gradient was
not in itself the consequence of mitosis in the cambium of the
tree. There must have been some other factor involved since it
was clear enough that these changes showed no necessary causal
dependency. 100 ANTENNAE TO THE UNIVERS E

That there are changes in the electrical characteristics of the
surround of the earth was shown long ago by the late Professor
Harlan Stetson, of the Cosmic Ray Terrestrial Research Labora
tory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He drew
attention to the fact that changes in the ionosphere significant ly
affect radio reception; and this phenomenon, of vital importance
to the communication industries, has been studied extensively
ever since. It seemed worthwhile, therefore, to design an experiment in
which continuous records of changing potential in a living
system were made synchronously with careful records
