 elements must beconsidered aswell asthesolar fac-
tors. Evergreen trees planted tothenorth ofabuilding help block thecold winter north
winds, rain, andsnow.Deciduous trees (those thatlose their leaves inwinter), such as
fruit trees, aresuitable forplanting onthesouth, east, andwest sides. Inthefallandwin-
terwhen thetrees arebare, thesun’srays penetrate tothebuilding andinthespring and
summer,thehotsunisblocked because thetrees arefullofleaves, flowers, andfruit.
Asimple idea thus becomes delicious andrewarding. Vines andclimbers canalso be
planted toshade east, west, andsouth facades, aswell aslattices ortrellises covered with
growth.
Wallsshould beaswell insulated aspossible ontheoutside andinclude thermal mass
ontheinside forheat retention. Thermal mass canconsist of55-gallon drums (water -
filled) painted black formaximum absorption, orlargerocks. Rocks canbeused in
thefoundation andwalls. (Ifusing painted barrels, thenonsolar -collecting sides canbe
painted any colors.)
Inside walls thatreceive sunlight canbefaced with brick orstone. There should be
aninsulator likegravel under thefloor.Clay tilefloors store heat well. They come in
arainbow ofcolors anddesigns, making some beautiful mosaics possible, thatareboth
functional andaesthetic.
Wereceive ourlifenourishment from thesun,soitisonly natural thatweharness its
energy and put it to good use.53.5.3 The Solar Greenhouse
Theprimary reason forbuilding agreenhouse is,ofcourse, food production. Grow-
ingyour own food saves money,anditisalways ready tobepicked—fresh, ripe, and
organic, grown without the need for any farm machinery.
Asmentioned, thegreenhouse may bebuilt onthesouth side ofthebuilding where
itwillreceive fullsun. Itcanbeconstructed quite simply with concrete blocks forthe
foundation, andother massive building materials such asceramic brick, stone, adobe,
poured concrete, orcinder blocks canbeused forthermal mass. These massive walls are
insulated on the outside surface.
Fortheglazing orclear film thatisattached totheframe there arcmany choices of
material: glass, rollplastic, sheet plastic, corrugated clear plastic, etc.Doors andvents
must be tight-fitting and weatherstripped, and all surfaces should fit tightly together.
Atnight, thewindows should beblocked with movable insulating forms orcovered
with shutters or curtains. This will keep the heat level constant at night.
Heated airinthegreenhouse rises andflows into ahigh opening tothehome, and
alowopening intheshared wall letscool airfrom thehouse enter thegreenhouse for
heating. Theplants inthegreenhouse convert carbon dioxide intooxygen-rich airforthe
house occupants.
When youbuild agreenhouse, youwillbecreating aspecial space, amicrocosm, a
living place that will grow and truly add life to your home.
53.6. Solar Energy And You
Now that you know why itissoimportant tomake thechange torenewable energy
sources, hopefully you’ll trytoincorporate some ofthese changes intoyour lives. Any-
thing youcandotogetother persons inyour community involved inpromoting theuse
ofsolar power andother renewable energysources willbeasteptoward saving ourplan-
et.
There aresolar industries springing upallover theplace thatyouandother interested
persons can contact for advice and support.
53.7. The Future And Politics Of Solar Energy
Ifthere isoneorganized body capable ofthepolitical leverage needed togive solar en-
ergy aboost, itistheAmerican union movement. They willbeable toseethejobpo-
tential ofsolar energy.However,thejob-creating powers ofsolar energycould hold it
back incorporate circles because industrialists want tokeep acertain measure ofcon-
trolover people when there isadequate unemployment tohold down wages. That is,the
more people outofwork, themore competition there isforwhat jobs areavailable, and
theeasier tokeep wages down andhold back unions (ofcourse, noonewilladmit tothis
outright). Remember, the nuclear power industry has $100 billion dollars on the line.
Inthiscountry thetop19% offamilies owns about 76% ofalltheprivately-held
wealth, with thebottom 25% having noassets atall(Dr.L.C.Thurow,M.I.T.De-
partment ofEconomics, 1979). Theconcentration ofpower andwealth issuch thatthe
top5%oftheAmerican population owns more assets than thebottom 81% combined.
Goods produced, nomatter what their function, arelooked atinterms ofselling them at
aprofit. Purchasers arelocked intoasystem ofdependence with built-in obsolescence.
Products thatbecome anecessity inlifeandthatcan’tbemade bythepurchasers them-
selves areconsidered best. Centralized energyfitsintothiscategory,anddecentralized
solar energygets only lipservice from ourrulers. Thepeople themselves aresurely in-
telligent enough to see that solar ener gy works in their best interest.
Anewsclip from June 1981, stated that“inasharp reduction ofthefederal govern-
ment’ sroleinsolar energy,theReagan administration hasordered thedismissal of370ofthe959employees atthefour-year -old Solar EnergyResearch Institute atGolden,
Colorado, andhasfired itsdirector.”Inaddition, theinstitute’ sbudget wastobecutto
$50million forthenext year,which wasa50% reduction. This would reduce spending
foroutside research. The Reagan administration’ s“logic” was thatmost development
work should becarried outbyprivate industry—it increased thebudget fornuclear pow-
er,however.Aninternal Department ofEnergyreport concluded thatAmerican taxpay-
ershave quietly subsidized theprivate U.S. nuclear industry with almost $40billion over
thepast 30years. Inreality,nuclear -generated electricity isactually costing Americans
twotimes what theatomic industry claims. So,isitalright forustosubsidize nuclear
power,butdifferent when solar power isconcerned? Thereport says thatbetween 1950
and1979, billions ofdollars infederal subsidies went forsuch things asdesigning early
reactors, getting low-cost fuel to reactors and guaranteeing loans to power plants.
TheEnergyResearch andDevelopment Administration (formerly theAtomic Ener-
gyCommission) says “solar energyfalling onabout 3%ofland, ifutilized atabout 10%
efficiency, could meet the total projected U.S. ener gy requirements for the year 2000.”
Thebighurdle inpromoting solar energyisgetting thepublic enlightened. Changes
must really bemade onaworldwide basis inorder tobeeffective, because thebiosphere
islikeonebigaquarium—we have seen how pollution affects everyone.Wewho are
already enlightened about pure diets based onliving food, andusing alternative, renew-
able energy sources, should reach out to others and share the knowledge.
53.8. Other Renewable Energy Sources
53.8.1 W ater Power
53.8.2 W ind Power
53.8.3 Biofuels
53.8.1 Water Power
We’ve allseen destruction caused byfloods, erosion, andtheenergyofwater inthe
seawaves, andswift rivers andstreams. Waterpower alsohasagreat capacity foruseful
work. Waterpower isessentially aform ofsolar energy,because thesunbegins thehy-
drologic cycle byevaporating water from lakes andoceans andthen heating theair.The
hotairthen rises over thewater,carrying moisture with ittotheland. Thecycle contin-
ues when the water falls as precipitation onto the land, then it starts over again.
Waterisrelatively easy tocontrol andproduces ahigh efficiency,because from 80%
to90% ofwater energycanusually beconverted towork, compared with 25-45% effi-
ciency forsolar,chemical, andthermal energysystems. Forthisreason many rivers have
been dammed sothatwaterwheels andwater turbines could capture theenergyofwater.
Individuals andcommunities canharness thisenergytoproduce power insmall hy-
droplants. The dam increases thereliability andpower available from thestream, and
isameans forregulating thewater flow anddepth. People should beaware thatadam
changes the local ecosystem, though, and should only do so conscientiously.
Waterturbines canproduce either direct current (D.C.) oralternating current (A.C.)
electricity.Thepower available willnotalways supply thetotal amount desired, soitis
useful tothink ofanintegrated power systems approach from thebeginning, andcom-
bine this with another renewable power source.
53.8.2 Wind Power
Windisanother form ofenergycreated by,thesun—the heating ofouratmosphere
during thedayanditsabsence cooling thenight sky—like theearth isbreathing.Wind
isthereaction ofouratmosphere totheincoming energyfrom thesun—heat causes low-
pressure areas and the lack of heat results in high-pressure areas, causing the wind.The wind is


ions. Such
a“reaction” always follows theintroduction oftobacco intotheundepraved organism;
andthemore vigorous andundeprived theorganism, themore prompt andpowerful will
be this “reaction.”
Itisonly bycommencing acareer ofdepravity,with cautiously measured steps, that
wemay break down thebody’ sresistance tothepoison and, ultimately,bring about a
condition inwhich thebody seems actually tocallforandembrace, asafriend, itsarch
foe.
Thebody may thus besodepraved thatthedeadliest poison may behabitually taken
inconsiderable quantities andonly result inanimmediate feeling ofapparent well-be-ing.Indeed, there maybe, andusually is,much suffering ifthedepraved organism isde-
nied the cause of its depravity.
Thehabitué may beable totake atonedose enough poison tokillsixnonusers. Ar-
senic may beused asfreely astable salt, with aslittle immediate evidence ofitspoiso-
nous character,once thebody hasbeen beaten intosubmission. Prussic acid, which kills
likelightning, when thebody isnotaccustomed toitsuse,may,beginning with minute
doses, andgradually using largerandlargerdoses, beused with considerable freedom as
a means of “exhilaration” and intoxication.
Theopium addict cantake atonedose sufficient opium tokillseveral nonusers out-
right. Instead ofproducing anyimmediate symptoms ofpoisoning inhim, theopium re-
sults inanimmediate feeling ofwell-being. Ifheisdenied hisaccustomed dose, hesuf-
fersintensely.Give himhisaccustomed poison andhissufferings vanish asifbymagic.
Thecause ofhissuffering seems tocure hissuffering, butonly seems to,forthelonger
heuses theopium, themore hesuffersandthelargerdose andthemore frequent doses
willherequire tosilence theoutcries ofhisoutraged system. Therealeffect ofthedose
istorenarcotize hisnerves, which canonly cryoutandreveal histruecondition when
they are no longer under the influence of the drug.
Inthesame way coffeewill“cure” theheadache itproduces; tobacco will“steady”
thenerves ithasunsteadied; alcohol will“strengthen” theman ithasweakened; sleeping
potions “cure” thesleeplessness they have produced, only tomake thesleeplessness
worse andrequire alargerdose to“cure” next dine. Stimulants weaken usbyoverstim-
ulation, mistaken for “ener gy.”
Theability ofthecarefully depraved organism totolerate largedoses ofpoisons and
thefactofevery dayexperience thattheuseofpoisons bythephysiologically depraved
instead ofproducing immediate symptoms ofpoisoning, results intheappearance and
feeling ofwell-being, hasledeven intelligent people tostoutly deny thepoisonous char-
acter ofmany poisons inhabitual use.Because tobacco, opium, alcohol, arsenic orcof-
feeandteamay befreely andhabitually used without producing immediate death, orany
ofthedistressing symptoms thatindicate acute poisoning; but,onthecontrary,sofaras
thefeelings andactions oftheusers areconcerned, they actasgrateful “cordials,” men
andwomen aredeceived bythem. “My experience hasshown thattobacco isvery kind
tome,” says thetobacco user,while theopium addict informs usthathis“experience
has shown that opium is very kind to me.”
Such “experience” isbased notonly onthedeceptive appearances ofdrug habitua-
tion, butisdefective inthatitforgets orignores both thebeginning andtheendofthe
experience with thedrug. Ifweaccept thenonpoisonous character oftea,coffee, tocab-
bo,alcohol, opium etc., onthebasis ofsuch “experience,” weareforced tothefallacious
conclusion thatthere isnosuch thing asapoison innature. Thebody canlearn totoler-
ate most substances, however deadly, by a career of physiological depravity.
Thetruetestofthepoisonous ornonpoisonous character ofanysubstance isitsin-
troduction intotheundepraved—the intolerant—or ganism. Bythistesttobacco, alcohol,
tea,coffee,opium, arsenic, andallother drugs thatareused for“exhilaration” andintox-
ication are shown to be strongly anti-vital i.e., poisonous.
Thebeginning ofapoison vice ismarked byevidences ofacute poisoning. Thereaf-
ter,there areevidences ofacute poisoning. Theend—no onedisputes theendofopium
addiction. Few today willdeny theendofarsenic eating. Why close oureyes totheends
ofalcoholism, nicotinism, caffeinism, etc.? Not until weinclude inour“experience”
both thebeginning andtheendofapoison-vice arewejustified indrawing conclusions
from “our experience.”
Article #2: Your Probing Mind By V. V. Vetrano, B.S., D.C.
What is the Hygienic viewpoint of viruses and their effects on living cells?This question isalittle difficult toanswer because virology isstillinitschildhood.
Their nature isstillnotknown. Arethey plants, chemicals, animals, orparasites? Noone
knows exactly what they are.
Boyd states thatavirus “represents amost minute andprimitive form oflife. Even
thisstatement may bequestioned, forthevirus seems toexist inthedimborderland be-
tween living things andchemical compounds. Itisasubmicroscopic unitcontaining nu-
cleic acid andprotein. Unlike bacteria, viruses arenotcapable ofsupporting lifeontheir
own, owing toalack ofenzymes. Inorder toexist andmultiply,they must occupy living
cells, which provide them with necessary material andenergy....Itisevident thatavirus
is a perfect example of a parasite.”
Some viruses liveandgrow only inman. Others prefer other animals. Some ofthem
liketoliveonly inspecific tissues such asnerve tissue (neurotropic), while others prefer
theskin, andarecalled dermotropic. Still others areviscer otropic,meaning thatthey live
in the viscera of animals.
The current knowledge ofthevirus seems topoint clearly toitsparasitic nature.
Knowing thenature ofviruses gives usaclue astohow to“defend” ourselves from
them, if,indeed, weneed defending. They,likebacteria, may endupbeing ourbenefac-
torsinstead ofourenemies. Their outstanding characteristic isthatthey cannot multiply
unless inaliving cell. Since they livewithin thecell, dosing ourselves with antibiotics
and other drugs such as the sulfonamides will not destroy them.
Viruses, being mainly proteinaceous innature, occasion antibody formation when
they areinthebloodstream. Thebody actsagainst them todestroy them, justasitde-
stroys bacteria. Ahealthy body candestroy them asrapidly asthey areformed. Even
though they aresomewhat protected within thecellfrom theantibodies, ahealthy cell
can keep them under control and prevent them from overwhelming the cell.
Amedical differentiation ismade between aviral infection andviral disease. Ahost
may beinfected with avirus butnotmanifest adisease. Inthecase ofviral infection
multiplication ofthevirus canproceed without damage tothecell. When there isaviral
disease, thecellshows pathological changes, usually intheform ofdegeneration. Boyd
thinks thatviral infection isuniversal butthatviral disease isrelatively rare. Hesays,
“viral infection isvery much commoner than viral disease—indeed itmay beuniversal.
Thus polio virus infection ismany hundred times commoner than thedisease, andaden-
ovirus infection ofthetonsils ispresent inabout 90percent ofnormal persons, although
disease caused by these viruses occurs in a very small percentage.
“Inviral infection, avirus may sojourn indefinitely inthecomfortable surroundings
ofthecell. Itismore than aboarder,forithasbecome oneofthefamily,anditcan
livewith thefamily forgenerations without causing trouble. Various internal orexter-
nalagents may upset theharmony andconvert thelatent virus intoavirulent one, which
usurps thecell’sbiosynthetic machinery fortheproduction, almost exclusively,ofviral
progeny (Swartz andLittlefield). Such factors asage, genetic makeup, nutrition, orhor-
monal balance may beresponsible. Somay bacterial infection, oneofthebestexamples
being thewell-known relation between theherpes simplex (”cold sore” onthelip)and
pneumococcal pneumonia. Influenza isbelieved with reason topredispose thepatient to
respiratory tract bacterial infection, butitisalsopossible thatsuch aninfection may pre-
cipitate an attack of influenza through the conversion of a latent into an active virus.
“Itis


leviate constipation andtopre-
vent itsreoccurrence. Ahigh-fiber dietissupposed toprevent cancer ofthecolon
andassorted other ailments. This again isafragmented approach with afragmented
food.
Bran istheouter fibrous layer ofgrains. Itisentirely indigestible andpasses
through theintestinal tract virtually unchanged. Bran does absorb water inthelarge
intestine andthisiswhy itisthought tobea“sure cure” forconstipation since more
bulky stools result.
Constipation isanindication oftotal illhealth. Itisnotaseparate “disease” in
itself oranoccurrence thatisindependent from therestofthebody.When weeat
thewrong food, getinsuf ficient restandsleep, lead acompletely sedentary lifeand
disobey theother requirements forhealth, ourentire body isaffected. Allbodily
systems willeventually become weakened andthisincludes thebowels andconsti-
pation results.
Ithasbeen suggested thatifaperson prefers adietdevoid ofthenatural fibers
found invegetables, fruits andnuts, then bran should beconsumed. This isnon-
sense. There arefewpeople who would notrather eatajuicy piece ofwatermel-on,oranice sweet orange oraripebanana than some drytasteless bran. Thefresh
fruits willnotonly provide uswith adelightful meal butwillsupply allnecessary
nutrients needed tomaintain total health. Avital body andcolon have noproblems.
Inaddition tobeing afragmented food initself devoid ofcalories andnutrients,
bran isvery irritating totheintestinal tract. There aremany sharp protrubances on
thebran thatcause intestinal irritation. Also, agreat deal ofvital energyisneeded to
eliminate thisworthless fiber.Ittakes aminimum oftwenty-four hours toprocess
bran once it has been ingested.
Wheat andother grains contain largeamounts ofphytic acid. This compound
reduces theabsorption ofironinthesmall intestine. Consuming bran intheamount
usually recommended (about onetablespoon before each meal) may result iniron
deficiency due to being bound by phytic acid.
Article #1: Colitis by Dr. Herbert M. Shelton
Thecolon functions bycarrying theresidues ofdigestion upward from thececum, across
thetransverse colon, anddownward through thesigmoid totherectum andtotheout-
sideworld. Digestion iscompleted inthesmall intestines anditisthere thatthedigested
portions ofthefood areabsorbed. Some water andelectrolytes may beabsorbed from
thecolon, butthere isnofurther absorption offood. There isnoabsorption oftoxins
from thecolon unless abnormal poisons areputthere, e.g., caffeine, allicin, mustard oil,
mercury, strychnine, etc.
Thecolon, liketherestofthealimentary tract, islined with askin ormembrane that
iscalled mucous membrane. Irritation orinflammation ofthecolon isknown ascolitis
orcolonitis. Supposed bysome authorities tobeperhaps themost common disease of
civilized man, colitis isasserted tobevery rareamong uncivilized peoples. Constipation
isperhaps themost annoying symptom ofcolitis, although itislikely tobealternated
with diarrhea. Ifthecolitis isacute (diarrhea) there may bemucus intheloose, watery
stools. Alltheforms ofcolitis discussed inthisarticle come under thegeneral technical
classification of “mucous colitis.”
Astate ofspasm ofthecolon iscommon incases ofcolitis, especially ifthecondi-
tionismarked. Frequently,alsothere isasagging ofthetransverse colon—enteroptosis.
Thecolon may sagintheabsence ofcolitis andcolitis may exist without sagging, but
spastic colitis is almost certain to accompany both conditions.
Itisamistake, however,tothink ofspastic constipation asthecause ofmucous coli-
tis.This view isnomore rational than tothink ofcolitis asthecause ofspastic constipa-
tion.
Inchronic colitis themore marked inflammation may belocated atdifferent parts of
thecolon, theacute exacerbations ofwhich willbenamed after thelocation ofthemore
severe inflammation, as sigmoiditis, proctitis, etc.
Forlong periods thecondition may beobscure, theindividual merely being con-
scious ofabdominal distress, which hemay attribute toconstipation ortogas.When mu-
cusappears inthestools, thecondition isalready well advanced. Asthecolitis becomes
more marked themucus may appear inthestools inmasses ofjelly-like consistency,in
suspicious looking ropy shreds likecasts ofthebowels, orthefeces may becoated with
mucus andthismay bereaked with blood. There isnow nomistake thatcolitis ispre-
sent.
Idonotintend here toattempt tocover allthevariations from thecommon picture of
colitis. These may occur often, butforallpractical purposes, they areoflittle significan-
ce.Asthecolon isdivided intoafewsections, itbecomes possible tohave such special
forms ofcolitis asproctitis, sigmoiditis andothers, buttheso-called disease isthesame
in each case.
Letuslook atthetwo“diseases” justnamed. There isnoactual dividing linebetween
thesigmoid andtherectum. Ifweimagine ahairline dividing thetwocontinuous sec-tions ofthecolon, wemay recognize thefolly ofnaming inflammation ononeside of
thislinesigmoiditis, and, ifitextends only aneighth ofaninch over thelineinto the
lining membrane oftherectum, calling thisproctitis. Itislikenaming pimples ontheleft
cheek one disease and pimples on the right cheek something else.
Wemake thesame confusing classifications ofinflammation according tolocations
throughout allparts ofthebody.Inflammation ofthelining membrane ofthenose is
rhinitis, inflammation ofthelining membrane ofthenasal sinuses issinusitis, inflamma-
tionofthebronchial tube isbronchitis; butthese areonly different names forprecisely
hesame condition inthedifferent locations. Gastritis ishesame condition inthelining
membrane ofthestomach. Tocallallofthese local inflammations different diseases is
only to add to growing confusion.
Often great skill isneeded todiagnose correctly theform ofcolitis with which the
patient suffers, andtodetect justwhere theinflammation islocated. Skill indiagnosis
may notindicate familiarity with cause. Thegreatest diagnostic technique isoften har-
nessed to the most inef fective means of mere palliation.
Wearehere more interested inwhat iscausing thepatients trouble than inwhat par-
ticular section ofthecolon isirritated orspastic. Symptoms ofcolitis arealike inkind,
differing only inlocation anddegree. One significant factthathasreceived much notice
isthatevery case thatpresents themarks ofchronicity hasacolon complex ;thatistosay
a negative or depressive psychosis.
People who areillorwho sufferarerarely cheerful andhappy.Anxiety,apprehen-
sion andconsequent depression form therule insickness ofevery nature. Itisrarely
possible foronetoremain mentally oremotionally indifferent tophysical discomfort. A
certain measure ofself-pity creeps intotheconsciousness ofthemost sanguine andsto-
ical. When weconsider thenature ofcolitis, itisnotsurprising thatthesufferer becomes
depressed andanxious. Many so-called neurotics andpsychotics aresuch only because
of long-standing colitis.
Inatleast 95% ofcases ofchronic colitis, constipation isanoutstanding feature. It
frequently continues over aperiod ofyears, during which time thesufferer tries laxa-
tives, purgatives, teas, oils, enemas, colonic irrigations andother means ofsecuring “re-
lief” from hisconstipation, never once realizing thattheconstipation isonly asymptom.
Although these measures often afford some temporary relief, they serve, intheend, to
aggravate greatly the condition.
Allcolitis sufferers complain ofindigestion, both gastric andintestinal, andofrum-
bling ofgasintheintestines, with more orlesspain, sometimes ofacolicky nature. They
have asense offullness anduneasiness. Commonly there isadullandconstant orsharp
andintermittent headache. Marty ofthese patients complain ofafeeling ofstiffness and
tension, even pain, inthemuscles oftheneck, often with pain justbelow thejuncture of
the neck and the head.
Frequently colitis sufferers describe their symptoms asa“drawing” sensation.” Most
ofthese cases appear anemic anddysemic. They arethinandundernourished, asarule,
although colitis isbynomeans confined totheproperly nourished. Thetongue iscom-
monly coated, the tastes


 itstems from thislone-
liness orgeneral boredom, wetend tothink ofeating tobring ussome form of“relief.”
Ifonly wecould fillthevague, cloudy,empty areas inourexistence with something.
Our goal istofindoutjustwhat todowith thisenergy.Wecreate ourreality,butjust
aswe’d prefer toblame some mysterious “germs” forillness, rather than seethatour
lifestyle produces ourstate ofhealth, we’d rather believe that“things justhappen tous
atrandom,” with nocontrol from within. That way wearerelieved ofanyresponsibility.
Nothing could be further from the actuality.
Our normal, physiological functions take place onthesubconscious level, without
theconscious attention ofthemind. Wemay ormay notbeaware ofthese processes, de-
pending upon oursensitivity.Ourconscious thoughts arewoven with oursubconsciousmind inablend thatdetermines ourexistence. One may wonder atscience fiction that
likens ourminds tocomputers—indeed, some doresemble busy information gathering
andstorage centers thatwork dayandnight. Perhaps some minds stillresemble rivers,
wherein theperson canbecome fluid, relax, and“gowith theflow,”yetourcompulsion
forlabels andcategories inthisdayandageseems togrow.People want labels fordis-
ease, labels fortheir thoughts—they areconstantly searching fordata.When willthey
seethatlifeismore than thebitsandpieces? Itisthewhole.Every time people seek to
define something, thesomething will change, asdoes every other thing ontheplanet,
from instant toinstant. Yetweinsist ondefinitions, facts, labels anddata, andonexter-
nalizing what happens tousasbeing caused bycoincidences oroutside influences be-
yond ourcontrol. We’recaught bythewhirlwind propaganda ofourtimes: besomebody.
How canwebesomebody andatthesame time nottake ourselves tooseriously? Iguess
we have to see that we must drink the water, but our lips don’ t have to touch the cup!
Life enjoys setting usupforlearning these lessons. Themore welearn, thesooner
we’ll be surprised at how few things are just happening to us at random.
Sometimes we’ll find thattheharder wework atsomething, themore progress we
make inrealizing ourgoal. Atother times, mysteriously,itseems tobejusttheopposite.
Sometimes theharder wewant something andmore attached wearetoourparticular de-
sire, thelesswesucceed, andthefarther wearefrom ourgoal. How canthisbe?This
isespecially hard forawork- andgoal-oriented society likeours tograsp. Attimes the
conscious mind caninterfere with thenatural flow ofevents. When westay only inthe
conscious mind andchatter onbusily toourselves, wemay bemissing intuitive subcon-
scious messages trying togetthrough, justasitisdifficult tolisten andspeak atthesame
time.
Let’slook atanexample. Ionce noticed thatIoften found something Ihadlostjust
atthepoint where Iwasabout togive uplooking, i.e.,myconscious mind would detach
itself from thesearch foramoment, maybe even justduetoamomentary distraction.
Somehow attheprecise moment theconscious mind ceased towork, thesubconscious
mind would take over andI’dhave anintuition tolook under aparticular book orina
drawer,andloandbehold, there was themissing object. Ittook meawhile torealize
what principles were at work here: the conscious mind can“block” the subconscious.
Some people arealmost completely unaware oftheir subconscious minds, justas
some people areunaware oftheir body’ sinnate capacity forself-healing andrepair.They
define thewhole oftheir existence interms oftheir conscious thoughts. This isvery
limiting, liketrying todefine theocean interms ofthecontents ofafewofitsdrops of
water.
Justaswecan’twatch twochannels onTVatonce, most ofuscan’ttune intoboth
ourconscious andsubconscious minds atthesame time. Itcanbedone, justasonecan
juggle andwatch adistant object instead oftheballs, butittakes some effort atfirst.
Usually wespend most, ifnotall,ofourwaking time inourconscious minds, enter-
taining ourselves with various fantasies, plans andideas, ortormenting ourselves with
worries andwhat-if ’s,depending upon ourmoods. Often wedon’tslipintooursubcon-
scious minds until we are asleep.
Justwhere isthissubconscious mind? Well,most ofuscanthink ofinstances where
we’ve been aware oftwotypes ofknowing—we may know something because wewere
told, orweread itinabook orsawitwith ourown eyes. Orwemay saythatweknow
something “byintuition.” There isafine linedividing these twotypes ofknowledge,
butmost ofushave hadexperiences ofthis“sixth sense.” Asevolution ofhuman be-
ings goes forward, more andmore people arediscovering heightened sensitivity.Many
people consider itanupsur geof“spirituality”—not necessarily inthereligious sense
(though when some people areawakened they choose todefine itassuch). Nomatter
what thename, itisclear thatpeoples’ minds areexpanding atanincreasing ratetoin-
clude more andmore dimensions. Theuniversal mind also expands andincreases with
every moment. There arethousands ofbooks andwords tofillourminds; wetrytosortoutthetruth. Many things intheuniverse remain unexplained. Weoften hear of“para-
normal” events ortheability toreceive information from theuniversal mind. Ifweare
tempted tobeskeptical, weshould wonder ifpeople athousand years agowould have
laughed atsomeone who spoke ofvehicles thatcould flyintheair.Before theinvention
ofthemicroscope, noonewould have imagined thatthere were thousands oftinyliving
creatures moving around inapiece offingernail scrapings, butthere are.People areno-
torious forbelieving “only what they cansee,” butobviously alotexists whether they
seeitornot.The mind hasmore potential than wecan, atthispoint inourevolution,
know.
Some people receive messages orinformation from theuniversal mind when they
aredreaming. Imyself have dreamed dozens oftimes ofpeople (some who’d been gone
formonths), andthen seen them thatday,enough times tofinally realize thatIwassome-
how knowing inmydream andsubconscious mind thatIwould seethem—I hadnocon-
scious clue thatthey’d becoming. Many people have these types ofdreams. Some see
aperson inadream andlater findoutthey died; some have seen houses onfireorother
events thatlater came topass, orwere happening atthetime of,orbefore, thedream. The
only explanation forsuch occurrences isthatthere isinformation accessible topeople
who can“tap intoit,”bywhatever means may best suittheir consciousness, whether in
awaking orasleeping state. (For some people, whose minds arealways busily centered
intheconscious when awake, thesleeping state isthetime inwhich they canbest“sub-
merge”intotheir subconscious minds, with nointerference from theconscious stream of
thoughts usually present.) Dreams also seem tobeatype of“re-sorting” ofinformation
andevents oftheday,orthepast, andsome seem toreflect (or“work out”) ourfears
oranxieties, sowecan’tjustclassify alldreams into onecategory.There aredifferent
stages ofconsciousness even insleep, because there arevarying depths ofsleep; sonot
alldreams arethe“precognitive” type mentioned. After awhile you’ll beable todiffer-
entiate between your different types ofdreams andwhether they have anyfurther sig-
nificance foryou. Weshouldn’ tbecome unnecessarily preoccupied with our“average”
dreams, anymore than wewould with anyother partofourpast. Butweshould learn to
recognize anysignals oranyother information given tousifwefeelintuitively thatthey

 prevent your learning
anything well as long as it controls your consciousness. There is a great
deal of dif ference between egoistic trying and letting action develop
through spontaneous impulsion from the Secret Self. Ef fort made throughthe ego develops because the ego has some result in mind. It wants to feel
better than others, wants to control them, or it is afraid or hostile or
insecure, and this end-gaining action, so limited in viewpoint and
knowledge, has only the barest chance of succeeding, and then only by
coincidence with the purposes of the Secret Self.
People try and try to master some skill and make only the barest progress.
They finally despair and give up altogether, and this giving up, this release
of the end-gaining aims of the ego, is exactly the time that skill may
develop in them because the Secret Self takes over. Examples of this
psychological phenomenon are so profuse as to be irrefutable. Pasteur,
laboring over test tubes and microscopes, received his greatest illumination
in the period of his greatest hopelessness. Galileo was inspired with the idea
of a revolving solar system at the nadir of his despair over the inef fectuality
of his telescopes. Every researcher knows that a secret door is often found
on a dead-end street. Every creative artist knows that their greatest work
comes after periods of intense frustration. That it is always darkest before
the dawn is a well-known saying. W e have to have our egos reduced to
nothingness before the Secret Self takes over. We have to get ourselves out
of the way so that skills can develop in us, so that work can be done through
us by a greater mind and being.
How often have you wadded up a piece of paper and unthinkingly tossed it
across the room and been amazed when it landed directly in the center of
the wastebasket? Y ou may have wadded up other pieces of paper and tossed
them at the wastebasket without a single further hit, and probably you
shrugged your shoulders and wrote of f the first hit to luck. W ell, it wasn’ t
luck at all. It was simply that you performed the action without the
interference of conscious mind. In ef fect, you allowed the paper to propel
itself at the wastebasket, with yourself as only a medium of impulsion. This
kind of psychic unification of the basket and the paper and the propelling
energy allowed all elements in the action to become “one piece,” and
anything occurring within that unity had to have perfect symmetry and be
absolutely ef fective.
 Becoming One with Our T asks

Now if there is one mind common to all things and exclusive to none, it
follows that we basically are all part of a single or ganism, and our
effectiveness within that or ganism depends upon our recognition of this
fact. As long as we view ourselves as separate selves, we are moved by the
delusion of egoistic desire and thus led into opposition to the will of the
Secret Self. Any action that is conceived in the ego and entered into for
egoistic purposes, if not doomed to failure from the outset, can result in
only mediocre success. Its entire purpose and impulsion arise from a limited
knowledge, set against the ocean of knowledge that is universal mind. W e
learn to do things well by becoming one with them, by so engrossing
ourselves in our tasks that we pick up a sense of unity with them. This sense
of oneness is impossible to the egoistic nature for the simple reason that the
ego itself is a sense of separateness. When we become completely absorbed
in things, we have a true spiritual experience, for by this psychological
transference of self, we plunge deeply into universal mind and become the
work that we are doing. Everyone who has great skill or talent goes daily to
this fount of for getfulness, plunges in and is renewed, and the temple of
their religious worship is their own talent. Henry David Thoreau wrote, “If
one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to
live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with unexpected success
in common hours.”

Thrusting against Pain

All barriers to accomplishment are in the mind. Education itself teaches
limitation, and history establishes a definitive level that suppresses human
aspiration. For years four minutes was thought to be the fastest time that
anyone ever would run the mile, then along came a group of Australianmilers with a new philosophy. They broke down the mental barriers, and
now any number of people have run the mile faster than four minutes.
This new philosophy might as easily be applied to any area of human
activity. It is built around the premise of thrusting against pain, on the idea
that pain represents a limitation in the mind. Those who train under this
system drive themselves to run farther than they think they can, asserting
the principle of mind over matter to do away with fatigue. Such a
philosophy releases a human being from all barriers. Nothing is impossible
to us as long as our guiding principle is to surmount each obstacle we
encounter.
Directional drive is the most important single factor in achievement.
Outstanding boxers are often culled from the social groups that have to
fight hardest to survive. Heads of corporations and government executives
are often born in the most humble circumstances, and their climb to the top
is allied directly to their dedication. Heaven attends those who throw their
hearts into their work. In this absorption they lose their egoistic sense of
self and become clear channels for the ener gy and creativeness of universal
mind.

Constant Aspiration

The usefulness of goals depends on their ability to remove limitation from
our thinking. W e can exceed ourselves by aiming higher than we have ever
aimed before. It is not the goal that is important; it is the aiming higher.
When a goal is reached, it actually becomes a limitation unless replaced by
a higher goal. Those who achieve something and spend any time patting
themselves on the back are nullifying their growth, for when self-
complacency enters the nature, ego grows and the individual stagnates. If
we don’ t try to exceed ourselves, we disintegrate. If we do not try to be
better, it is impossible for us even to stay as good as we are. The dynamicforces of life are growth and decay, and nothing is static; things move in
one direction or the other.
A few years ago, a young man emer ged from an automobile accident
paralyzed from the neck down, except for the rudimentary use of the
forefinger of his right hand. As he lay abed and pondered his situation he
resolved to develop some skill with that right forefinger. He had a
typewriter rigged on his bed, with his right arm slung before it so he could
peck at the keys with his forefinger. His initial ef forts were excruciatingly
slow and required great concentration and resolve. He labored for hours to
type a single sentence. As the weeks turned into months he was able to type
a page, then two, finally a dozen or more. After a year he not only was
typing proficiently but was actually sitting up in bed to do it. T oday, he gets
about with crutches and has embarked upon a program of total
rehabilitation. He seems well on the road to recovery. Such tenacity and
purpose might be expected to belong to a very grim person, but this young
man has deep humility and a wry sense of humor. When asked how he has
been able to accomplish such miraculous results, he stated, “I was given
this body, and I banged it up. The least I can do is put it back in the
condition I found it.”
Humans have searched out the trackless wastes of the poles, journeyed to
the depths of the seas, flung themselves miles into the air, and even
journeyed amongst the stars. Who can say that anything is impossible to the
human mind and ef fort? There exists within us a power to imagine a better
world than the one in which we live, and we never cease attempting to find
it. Our imagination should be treated with precious care, for it is the tool of
our liberation from the bonds that hold us. W e can be anything we are
capable of visualizing, do anything we are able to imagine, for the images
that form in our minds inevitably lead us into the work that ef fects their
realization.

Inner Acceptance
 Skills ar e developed by faith that one possesses the skill alr eady. This a
priori inner attainment of the skill allows us to act as if it wer e impossible
for us to fail. W e still will go thr ough a period of ineptness, but such
ineptness will not stay with us. W e will surmount all — all fear, all
ineffectuality — for we ar e sustained in all cir cumstances by an inner vision
that we alr eady have accepted as r eality. If we aspir e to an ability, we
become accomplished only after inner acceptance. No one can ever be any
better or gr eater than their mental visualization. If we accept ourselves as
exactly what we alr eady ar e, it becomes impossible for us to impr ove. T o
become better we must think we ar e better, not in the egoistic sense of
thinking that something is our due, but in the wider spiritual sense of
realizing that


 a
quality coming out of the comm itment to excellence, which is the obvious
result. It is not the cause. Here again, the resistive left brain will say, “Yeah,
but I’m not a creative person. Those are right-brained people. They’re born
that way, I’m not. I don’t have  a creative imagination.” In fact, no such
thing is true. Everyone has a creative imagination, otherwise it would not
even be possible  to stay alive on this planet. It’s our creative imagination
that provides all the expectations that lead us to do everything that we do all
day long. Of course we have creative imagination. It’s just that we fail to
realize its importance.
A truly creative  person is one who is coming out of attitudes of caring,
sharing, loving, participating, and imagining what the other person’ s
experience might be, then genuinely trying to create the best possible
experience for them. The best substitute that a lot of businesses survive on
is cheap  prices. If they haven’ t got anything else, they fall back on cheap
prices and volume. If they’re not too good at what they do, they’ve got to
do a lot of it to make up for the dif ference.
I’m not putting down profit margin. Rather, I’m saying that profit margin
is the consequence and not the cause of the true profit. Anything we do with
complete mastery, excellence, and respect will automatically show a profit.
The secret of so many successe s is that they do what they like doing best,
and they do it to the max. That means we can be a success cutting out paper
dolls, or making  fake mustaches, or homemade scarecrows, or birdhouses,
or toilet seats, or whatever we like—the mastery itself is coming out of our
intention. The excellence is its representation to the world of our own
integrity. The real power of the truly successful person is coming out of
their genuine attunement to the humanness of the other person.The relationship then is to the humanness of the other person and not just
the specifics of their itty-bitty purchase requirements. Truly successful
people know that the purchaser of their services, whatever they are—be
they entertaining, singing, dancing, engineering, whatever—is  always the
same customer. There is only one customer in this whole world.  Once we
know who that is, there’ s no problem selling anything or being successful
with that person. The name of that customer is “human nature.” The reason
we sign up for anything, whether it’s a language course, an automobile
lease, or a contr act, is because it appeals to something in our human nature.
There’ s only one customer, and that’s human nature itself. Each individual
customer is only the representa tive of human nature in their given case.
What is being brought to them is that which is universal.
I said that power comes from the recognition of the truth of that which is
universal, and not addressing that which is limited. Huma n nature is
universal, whether it’s a man, a woman, or a child. It’s only human nature
that brought them here, and it’s only human nature that will determine
whether they continue with a business and whether it will be a success or
not. A better gimmick doesn’ t mean anything. It’s only if that better
gimmick serves some human need that matters—the needs of
acknowledgment, importance, celebration, and the fact that these things are
recognized as important by someone.
It’s obvious that I’m talking about an attitude which differentiates cheap,
greedy, and grasping from generous, expansive, and giving. Once again the
left brain might say, “Well, I don’t have those qualities.” Again, that is
trying to imitate what is “out there.” Those attitudes of generosity, caring,
bigness, creativity, resourcefulness, and adaptability are all automatically
rising out of the fact that the one directing the enterprise has human nature.
These are qualities of human nature itself; therefore, they exist in all of us.
All we have to know is where the switch is located and how to turn on our
electromagnet of power. How do we attract success instead of trying to
purchase it? Success is suppose d to chase us. We’re not supposed to chase
success. The whole world is chasing success. So what? Those who have it
don’t even pursue it.
By the time we’ve finished this conversation, we’ll have finished our
dinner. It’s time to get the check. This is the next big disaster. Every single
member of a waitstaf f knows when it’s time for the check. It seems that
they hide out in the kitchen on purpose, because now is the time when they
finally realize their profit: their tip. Everyone makes a living and leaves
with a positive feeling and goodwill, right? At this final crucial point, as the
success of the entire experience hangs by a thread, the waitstaf f disappears.
How many times have we sat in a restaurant with an appointment to
catch, a theater opening to make, or whatever, clutching our money and
begging someone to please take it? Even after they’ve decided to reluctantly
take our money, they now disap pear for another 20 minutes. What are they
doing with the check? Where did they go? We wonder if they’ve run down
the alley  with our change or something. Or, when they finally do appear
with the change, it’ s the wrong amount.
If the lunch bill is $20, for instance, they bring back the chang e from a
$50 bill with a $20 and a $10. Inasmuch as we would like to good-naturedly
leave the minim ally expected 15 to 20 percent, even though the service was
lousy, they now have us successfully blocked from doing so easily. We have
the choice of stiffing the waitress or blowing another ten minutes while we
try to catch her eye again. She makes another round-trip to the cash register,
where who knows what all goes on, because it takes forever. She finally
comes back with five singles and an attitude like we’ve impo sed on her.
What the heck, we say. It’s her money. On top of it all, they add the insult of
adding the tax to the bill and giving it to us as one sum. So we’re now
expected to tip 15 to 20 percent on the tax as well.
The $75 dinner requires a minimum 15 percent tip on the bill, doesn’ t it?
The fact that there is at least a $5 tax then makes it a minimum of $80. This
means the waite r now expects at least 15 percent of $80. That brings up the
next principle: taking responsibility for the customers’  welfar e. We should
watch out for their bucks. We should protect their money and prevent them
from getting fleeced. We should protect them from inconvenience and
aggravation. As the owners of our enterprise, if we don’t do it, who will?
An occasional good employee will do it, if we’re lucky, because it’s an
expression of who they are. We can’t imitate it. We either have it or we
don’t.
Success is completely unavoidable if we express the right set of attitudes.
This is why top-notch people turn down many offers. It’s not that they don’tknow that they can make a success of it. That’ s a foregone conclusion—of
course they can. Success is automatic. What they’re trying to figure out is
whether it’s worth the bother, or whether they’re really even interested.
Why can’t we buy the very top people then? Because they’re not for sale.
They’ve got it made, thank you. Curiously, the fact that they cannot be
bought is one of the things that powerfully attracts us to them.
OceanofPDF.comHAVING IT MADE
We know  from our own experiences that some people have it made in
this world and other people don’t, no matter what they do. If we have it
made, little we do goes wrong. Most everything we touch turns a profit.
When we watch  people unsuccessfully try to mimic success, they try to
grow a flourishing garden without having a green thumb. What we are
interested in is having a green  thumb. If we have a green thumb, we’re
going to grow a successful garden no matter where we go because a green
thumb is an attitude of the gardener. It’s not something that grows in the
garden. What grows in the garden is the result; the cause is in the green
thumb.
Having it made then means having the know-how that goes with us no
matter where we are and express es itself no matter what we do. Having a lot
of accumulated data is interesting; all kinds of training courses, universities,
and books will fill us up with data. I’ve never been interes ted in data.
Acquiring data is a very mecha nical thing—it’ s what computers do. What
we need to know is where the data is available so we can put our fingers on
it. There  is no point in carryin g all that useless information around with
ourselves. It’s a convenience, but it’s irrelevant. It’s nice, but it’s not the key
to success.
The next time you see a stunning dancer, try to mimic every motion they
make and see what it looks like in the mirror. It’s not the same thing at all.

	REPORTS	DISEASES	CAUSED	BY	VACCINATION

The	Encyclopedia	Britannica	(9th	edition)	records	results	of	a	canvass	of	cities

after	a	general	vaccination	order	for	school	children.	It	was	found	that	nearly	all

the	cases	of	scarlet	fever,	measles	and	diphtheria	had	been	recently	vaccinated.

Two	vaccinated	boys	developed	black	diphtheria	and	died.	What	is	true	of	this

survey	is	true	of	other	cities	where	vaccination	is	stressed.

WHAT	VACCINATION	DOES

A	recognized	authority	summed	up	this	subject	by	saying:

"Vaccination	induces	an	acute	and	specific	disease	(resembling	smallpox)	and

also	aggravates	existent	latent	diseases.	The	absorption	of	the	vaccine	virus	into

the	circulation	excites	the	virus	already	in	the	system,	and	nature	rebels,	as	it

were,	and	makes	an	effort	to	throw	the	poison	out	of	the	body.	When	there	is

sufficient	vitality,	it	will	be	successful.	But	when	there	is	a	lack	of	vitality,	or	a

low	state	of	health,	there	is	little	or	no	external	manifestation	in	the	shape	of

blisters,	pustules,	or	eruptions.	In	this	case,	the	poison	sinks	in,	or	is	absorbed,

and	remains	in	the	body,	and	later	develops	into	some	organic	disease,	generally

of	the	respiratory	organs.

"Nearly	all	of	those	on	whom	Jenner	performed	his	earlier	experiments,

including	his	own	son,	died	of	consumption	(a	disease	of	the	respiratory	organs).

"There	are	possibly	millions,	both	children	and	adults,	who	are	compelled	to

endure	a	living	death	from	the	effects	of	vaccination,	in	the	form	of	syphilis,

scrofula,	cancer,	tumors,	skin	diseases,	etc."

I	personally	have	seen	a	number	of	people	lingering	on	for	years	in	a	state	of
	living	death	as	a	result	of	vaccination.

FIVE	HUNDRED	KILLED	BY	VACCINATION	IN	FIVE	MONTHS	IN	U.	S.
In	his	"Vaccination	Delusions",	Thomas	Morgan	reports:

"During	the	past	five	months,	we	have	collected	from	the	newspapers	over	five

hundred	authenticated	cases	of	injury	and	death	from	vaccination.	We	present	a

few	cases	to	show	how	vaccination	protects	for	it	is	evident	that	when

vaccination	kills	the	patient,	he	is	forever	immune	to	smallpox,	protected	by	the

immunizing	potency	of	death.	These	have	died	from	blood	poisoning,	erysipelas,

lockjaw,	convulsions,	etc.,	after	vaccination."	(The	names,	ages,	dates,	and

locality	(town)	are	given	on	page	35	of	"Medical	Delusions.")

THE	NEW	YORK	SUN,	March	20,	1895	stated:

"John	Morrissey,	1979	Third	Ave.,	New	York,	lost	his	two	children;	both	died

from	convulsions	induced	by	vaccination.	Dr.	Sharp,	who	attended	them,	thinks

that	vaccination	may	have	been	the	cause	of	the	children’s	death.

HERALD,	Northampton,	Mass.,	May	25,	1895:

"Webster	N.	Kinney,	8	year	old	son	of	Charles	Kinney,	of	Westfield,	was

vaccinated	and	died	from	the	direct	effect	of	vaccination,	which	resulted	in	blood

poisoning.	The	occurrence	caused	quite	a	stir.	Parents	see	that	there	is	greater

danger	from	poisoning	the	human	system	with	vaccine	virus	than	from

smallpox."	(emphasis	supplied)

PRESS	SPECIAL,	Savannah,	Georgia,	Feb.	3,	1898:

"Wm.	M.	Lee,	member	of	the	St.	Louis	School	Board,	died	from	vaccination.
Alma	Olivia	Piehn,	daughter	of	L.	H.	Piehn,	president	of	the	Anti-Vaccination

Society	of	America,	died	May	13,	1894,	killed	by	compulsory	vaccination.

Albert	F.	Turner	died	from	blood	poisoning,	as	the	result	of	vaccination."

THE	BOSTON	HERALD	gives	names	and	addresses	of	47	soldiers	killed	by

vaccination	in	just	one	month	of	army	life,	from	the	official	reports	from	Camp

Merrit,	San	Francisco,	Camp	Muintauk	and	troops	stationed	at	Manila	for	the

SOLDIERS	DISABLED	AND	KILLED	BY	VACCINATION

In	a	published	article	in	LIFE	magazine,	April	17,	1950,	General	Eisenhower,	in

discussing	the	poor	conditioning	of	our	fighting	forces,	said:

I	remember	one	time	in	Africa	when	we	had	only	four	divisions	in	the	field,	and

I	was	desperate	for	men,	I	found	we	had	6,000	men	in	hospitals	in	Africa

unavailable	for	combat—and	not	one	of	them	had	suffered	a	wound."

All	these	men	were	in	prime	condition	when	they	went	to	war—47%	of	our

young	men	were	unfit	for	service	and	were	rejected.	This	was	an	"all	time	high"

record	of	unfitness,	indicating	the	decadent	trend	of	our	nation’s	health.	But	the

most	perfect	men	were	inducted	and	sent	to	the	Army	camps	to	be	shot	full	of

vaccine	poisons	and	other	drugs.	After	this	drastic	course	of	malpractice

thousands	of	boys	were	invalided	home	as	physical	and	mental	wrecks	before

they	even	left	American	soil.	Others	were	sent	to	the	battlefield	where	they

collapsed	and	had	to	be	hospitalized.

During	the	Second	World	War	I	heard	that	seven	men	had	dropped	dead	on	the

floor	of	the	vaccinator’s	office	at	Birmingham	after	being	vaccinated.	I	wrote	to

the	government	for	verification	and	learned	from	the	printed	official	government

statement	that	in	just	the	first	six	months	of	the	war,	there	were	not	just	seven

vaccination	deaths,	but	there	were	62	deaths	from	yellow	fever	vaccine	alone.

The	men	received	from	14	to	24	vaccinations	of	all	varieties	but	the	full	report	of

all	vaccination	deaths	was	not	given.	The	casualties	were	probably	tabulated

under	other	causes.	The	report	of	the	US	Secretary	of	War,	Henry	L.	Simpson

regarding	the	deaths	from	yellow	fever	"shots"	reads	in	part:

no one with whom I could share my excitement. I was alone out in the
country. My house didn’ t have a telephone. Because I was teaching at a
medical school, I realized that there would undoubtedly be some students
studying in the library. I hastily threw some clothes on and raced of f to
the school to tell someone, anyone, of this exciting new insight.
Running into the library, out of breath, wild-eyed with my hair flying
in all directions, I was the epitome of the absent-minded professor. Ispotted one of my first-year medical students and ran up to him
proclaiming, “Y ou have to hear this! This is great shit!” I remember in
the back of my mind how he pulled away from me, almost in fear of this
raving, mad scientist who wildly broke the silence of the sleepy library. I
immediately began to spew forth my new understanding of the cell,
using the complex, polysyllabic jar gon of a conventional cell biologist.
When I finished my explanation and was silent, I was waiting to hear his
congratulations or at least a “bravo,” but nothing was forthcoming. He
was now wide-eyed himself. All he could say was, “Are you okay, Dr.
Lipton?”
I was crushed. The student had not understood a word I had said. In
hindsight, I realized that as a first-semester medical student, he did not
have enough scientific background or vocabulary to make any sense out
of my apparent rantings. However, the wind was knocked out of my
sails. I held the key to the secret of life, and there was no one who could
understand me! I confess I didn’ t have much better luck with most of my
colleagues who had been schooled in polysyllabic jar gon. So much for
the Magical Membrane.
Over the years I gradually honed my presentation about the Magical
Membrane and continued to refine it so that first-year medical students
and lay people can understand it. I’ve also continued to update it with the
latest research. In so doing, I’ve found much more receptive audiences
among a wider range of people. I have also found audiences receptive to
the spiritual implications of my eureka moment. Shifting to membrane-
centered biology was exciting for me, but it wouldn’ t have been enough
to send me screaming to the library. That Caribbean moment not only
transformed me into a membrane-centered biologist, it also transformed
me from an agnostic scientist into a card-carrying mystic who believes
that eternal life transcends the body.
I’ll get to the spiritual part of the story in the Epilogue. For the
moment, let me reiterate the lessons of the Magical Membrane, which
put the control of our lives not in the genetic roll of the dice at
conception but in our own hands. W e are the drivers of our own biology,
just as I am the driver of this word processing program. W e have the
ability to edit the data we enter into our biocomputers, just as surely as I
can choose the words I type. When we understand how IMPs control
biology, we become masters of our fate, not victims of our genes.C H A P T E R  4

W hen I was an ambitious under graduate biology major in the 1960s, I
knew that to have a prayer of getting into a prestigious graduate school I
needed to take a physics course. My college of fered a basic introductory
course, something like Physics 101, which covered fundamental topics
like gravity, electromagnetism, acoustics, pulleys, and incline planes in a
way that was easily understood by non-physics majors. There was also
another course called Quantum Physics, but almost all of my peers
avoided it like the plague. Quantum physics was shrouded in mystery—
we biology majors were convinced that it was a very, very “weird”
science. W e thought only physics majors, masochists, and outright fools
would risk five credits on a course whose premise was: “Now you see it.
Now you don’ t.”
In those days the only reason I would have been able to come up with
for taking a quantum physics course was that it would have served as a
great pickup line at parties. In the days of Sonny and Cher it would have
been très chic  to say, “Hey, babe, I’m into quantum physics. What sign
are you?” On the other hand, even that might not be true—I never saw
quantum physicists at parties or, in fact, anywhere else. I don’ t think they
got out much.
So I reviewed my transcripts, weighed the options, and took the easy
way out by selecting Physics 101. I was intent on becoming a biologist. I
had no interest in having my career aspirations depend on some slide-
rule-slinging physicist singing the praises of ephemeral bosons andquarks. I and virtually every other biology major either paid little
attention to or completely ignored quantum physics as we pursued our
studies in the life sciences.
Unsurprisingly, given our attitude, we biology majors didn’ t know
much about physics, the one with all the equations and mathematics. I
knew about gravity—heavy things tend to end up at the bottom and
lighter things on top. I knew something about light—plant pigments such
as chlorophyll and animal visual pigments such as the rhodopsin in the
retina, absorb some colors of light and are “blind” to others. I even knew
a little about temperature—high temperatures inactivate biological
molecules by causing them to “melt” and low temperatures freeze and
preserve molecules. I am obviously exaggerating to stress the point that
biologists traditionally don’ t know much physics.
My quantum-physics-deprived background explains why, even when I
rejected nucleus-based biology and turned to the membrane, I still didn’ t
understand the full implications of that shift. I knew that integral
membrane proteins hook up with environmental signals to power the
cell. But because I didn’ t know anything about the quantum universe, I
did not fully appreciate the nature of the environmental signals that start
the process.
It wasn’ t until 1982, more than a decade after I had finished graduate
school, that I finally learned how much I had missed when I skipped
quantum physics in college. I believe that had I been introduced to the
quantum world in college, I would have turned into a biology renegade
much earlier. But on that day in 1982, I was sitting on the floor of a
warehouse in Berkeley, California, 1,500 miles from home, lamenting
the fact that I had seriously compromised my scientific career on a failed
attempt to produce a rock ‘n’ roll show. The crew and I were stranded—
we had run out of money after six shows. I had no cash and whenever I
of fered my credit card, the merchant’ s credit approval machine displayed
a skull and crossbones. W e were living on cof fee and doughnuts while
we proceeded through Elisabeth Kübler -Ross’ s five stages of grieving,
over the death of our show: denial, anger, bar gaining, depression, and,
finally, acceptance. (Kübler -Ross 1997) But at that moment of
acceptance, the silence in that darkened concrete tomb of a warehouse
was broken by the piercing, electronic screech of a telephone. Despitethe phone’ s incessant, obnoxious signal, the crew and I ignored the
caller. It wasn’ t for us—no one knew where we were.
Finally the manager of the warehouse retrieved the call and restored
the blessed silence. In the quiet, still air, I heard the manager respond,
“Y es, he’ s here.” I looked up at that moment, from the darkest depth of
my life, and saw the phone being extended toward me. It was the
Caribbean-based medical school that had hired me two years earlier. The
president of the school had spent two days tracking my erratic trail from
W isconsin to California so he could ask me if I would be interested in
teaching anatomy again.
W ould I be interested? Does a bear relieve himself in the woods?
“How soon do you want me?” was my reply. He said, “Y esterday.” I told
him I would love the job but needed an advance on my salary. The
school wired the money that same day, and I split the proceeds with my
crew. I then flew back to Madison to prepare for an extended stay in the
tropics. I bid farewell to my daughters and hastily packed my clothes and
a few household items. W ithin twenty-four hours I was back at O’Hare
Airport waiting for Pan Am’ s Clipper Ship to the Garden of Eden.
By now you’re no doubt wondering what my failed rock ‘n’ roll career
has to do with quantum physics—welcome to my unorthodox lecturing
style! For the linear -minded, we’re of ficially back to quantum physics,
through which I was delighted to learn that scientists cannot understand
the mysteries of the universe using only linear thinking.

 stretch too much,
do not support your feet properly, and potentially plac e undue stress on your ankles, knees, and back. By
contrast, good rebounders have high  quality mats that hold their sh ape and do not overstretch. Other
considerations for a rebounder include the strength of the frame, the height and number of legs, the
quality of the sewing that attaches the webbing to the mat, and the ease with which the unit can be folded out of the way or made portable.

With these considerations in mind, I have selected a rebounder that meets my specifications. It is 40
inches in diameter, 10 inches high and weighs 25 pounds. It uses special fat-barrel springs, and both
the frame and legs are made of heavy-grade steel. The mat is made of an industrial fabric which is specifically engineered for rebounders and trampolines. It is flexible, but does not stretch; it provides
a firm and stable surface, yet is supple enough to cushion joints. It does not crease or fold and always
returns to its original flat condition. It is of the highest quality and should provide a lifetime of good use. Best of all, it really works! All of the other exercise machines I ever purchased have ended up as
high-priced clothes hangers. My rebounder actually gets used. I noticed good results in my own well
being after just a couple of weeks. My body love s it and I very much look forward to my daily
workout. I cannot recommend rebounding highly enough as both a fun and effective form of exercise.
Rebounders are available at Beyond Health. Call 1-800-250-3063, or go to

optional handlebar is also available. Do your body a favor and start rebounding now!

by W alter Last
CARBOHYDRA TES
There are three groups of carbohy drates: starches, dextrines and sugars. Sugars consist either of simple sugar molecules, the
monosaccharides, or two of these linked together as disaccharides. Household sugar (sucrose) consists of one molecule each of
glucose and fructose, while milk sugar or lactose contains glucose and galactose. In dextrines up to 50 glucose molecules are linked
together, and in starches several thousand.
Starches
Starches are broken down into water-soluble dextrines by cooking, sprouting or fermenting. Dextrines occur naturally in sweet
vegetables, and in seeds during germination and ripening. Examples are green peas and sweet corn. The basic starch foods are
cereal grains, potatoes, sago, taro, tapioca and to some degree also the non-oily legumes. On the one hand, starches are excellent
slow-digesting food, on the other hand our digestive systems have not yet well adapted to a diet high in grains, especially in those
with blood group O.
In our society, wheat is predominant ly used. However, gluten, the protein  in wheat, often acts like sandpaper on the absorption villi in
the small intestine, and this is a main cause of malabsorption, intestinal inﬂammation and allergies. All of us are to some extent
affected by gluten and in this context wholemeal products are no better and usually worse than reﬁned ﬂour. Therefore, it is generally
recommended that you use only a minimum of wheat products and that you also be careful with the other gluten grains, mainly rye,
oats and barley. Oats are very high in gluten and in this way not much better than wheat. Rye crispbread and rye sourdough bread is
better tolerated than wheat products.
Rice and millet may be used as staple grains. Maize and potatoes are valuable additions, especially for those allergic to wheat.
Buckwheat is generally good, but causes problems in some gluten-allergic people. Potatoes should not be peeled or only the skin
removed after cooking. Small potatoes and the mineral-rich outer parts are preferable to the acid-forming inner parts.
Legumes are best sprouted. Cooked dried beans often cause wind. This may be reduced if you discard the soaking water and
possibly replace the cooking water after 20-30 minutes. Sago and tapioca are especially suited for individuals who are not doing well
on grains. However, tapioca needs to be peeled, as the outer parts tend to contain cyanide compounds.
Sweet Food
The term'sweet food', as used in this book, includes sugars, sweetened food, dried fruit, sweet fresh fruit and the juices of sweet
vegetables. It does not include the sweet vegetables themselves - carro t, onion, sweet pepper, turnip or red beet as their sweetness
comes mainly from dextrines and they release any sugars slowly. Most commonly used sugars quickly enter the bloodstream and
cause a serious strain on the blood-sugar regulation. It is important for our wellbeing to keep the daily ﬂuctuations in our blood sugar
level as small as possible. For people with a poor sugar metabolism, this means restricting the intake of sweet foods to the barest
minimum.
However, a poor blood sugar metabolism is not restricted to an inappr opriate rise in the blood sugar level. An equally dangerous
component is a high insulin level especially after ingesting sucrose and, to a somewhat lesser extent, when combining glucose with
fructose. A high insulin level either leads to a strong fall in the blood sugar level sometime later (hypoglycemia) or to conversion of
sugar into fat. With this, it either leads to overacidity or overweight. A third outcome is increasing insensitivity to insulin and diabetes
type 2.
However, maltose or barley sugar, made from sprouted barley, should have a less harmful effect if used to sweeten starches. It
consists of two joined glucose molecules and does not induce a strong insulin response but it would still cause a stronger rise in the
blood sugar level than unsweetened starches.
Some of the symptoms associated with a poor sugar metabolism are overweight and underweight, high or low blood pressure, heart
disease, arthritis, diabetes and hypoglycemia, dental caries, colds, allergies, weak eyes, cold hands and feet, lack of energy, over-
sensitivity and overacidity.
For most individuals sweet food is harmful, because sugar is released too quickly. Therefore, sweet dessert or sweetener eaten with
protein or fatty food is less harmful than sweet food such as fruit juice) taken on an empty stomach or as sweetened starches (for
example, sweet porridge, bread with honey, cake). Most affected are individuals with low blood pressure, sensitivity to cold and skin
irritants or who are emotionally unstable, while insensitive individuals beneﬁt from naturally sweet foods.

https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_Foods/Food-Groups-and-Diets.html 1/3However, I regard artiﬁcial sweeteners such as aspartame as much worse than any natural sweeteners and would avoided them
completely. For more details on this see the next chapter.
One natural sugar that appears to be relatively harmless and possibly even beneﬁcial if used in small amounts is xylitol. It occurs
naturally in fruits such as plums and strawberries and tastes like normal sugar; it also helps to prevent tooth decay and possibly ear
infections and is acceptable for diabetics. However, it may cause diarrh ea in larger quantities, you need to experiment to see how
much is acceptable for you.
The Glycemic Index (G.I.)
The G.I. lists foods according to the increase in blood glucose levels caused by the carbohydrate content 2 – 3 hours after eating. A
high G.I. means a rapid increase in blood glucose levels and vice versa. Theoretically it is preferable to eat mainly low G.I. foods that
produce a small or slow rise in blood sugar. Fats and proteins do not directly cause a rise in the blood sugar level.
Here are a few key examples with white bread used as standard with a G.I. of 100: Glucose and maltodextrin 137, sucrose (common
or household sugar) and rye bread 92, honey 83 and fructose 32. Legumes and nuts generally have a low G.I.
From this short list you can easily see why I have no faith in the G.I.: rye bread and sugar have the same G.I! The reason for this is
the low G.I. of fructose. Sucrose consists of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose. Fructose produces a strong insulin
response that keeps the blood sugar level low partly by converting sugar into fat and partly by channelling glucose rapidly into muscle
cells. Depending on the individual metabolism, the combination
