Writing a book about love is a unique challenge, in both heart and mind,
and from the outset I realized that it would have to be born in an
atmosphere of love. Some other people understood this as well,  and it is to
them in particular that I owe deepest gratitude. To Peter Guzzardi, whose sensi tivity and nurturing went far beyond the
duties of an editor—you opened the way and kept it open against all odds. To Patty  Eddy and Tina Cons table, who stand behind the scenes at
Harmony Books and accomplish wonders. To my agent Muriel Nellis, godmother to my whole career as a writer. To my support staff at The Chopra Center for Well Being and Infinite
Possibilities International, especially to David Simon, Richard Perl, Deepak
and Geeta Singh, Roger Gabriel, and Arielle Ford Ford—without your
loyalty and immense enthusiasm, I would not have found the opportunity to
write this book at all. And, as ever, to my family, who walk the path to love with me, no matter
what turn it takes.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the ultimate goal of love, according to the author?,
A: The ultimate goal of love is to transcend suffering and find a state of awareness that is beyond the limitations of the mind.
Q: What is the author's message about the nature of reality?,
A: The author states that the reality is temporary, fleeting, and unreal, and that love is the supreme reality.
Q: What is the role of the ego in relationships?,
A: The ego is not a part of the spiritual journey and must be surrendered in order to achieve true love and connection.
Q: What is the importance of surrender in relationships?,
A: Surrender is essential in relationships, as it allows for the true self to emerge and for the heart to be open to love and connection.
Q: What is the author's message about the nature of God?,
A: The author does not explicitly mention God, but implies that the concept of a higher power or divine is present throughout the text, and that it is the source of love and connection.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.comA Rockpool book

Dr Ravi Ratan,
MSc, MBA, DSc
Dr Ravi Ratan, from Mumbai, India, is a
clinical aromatherapist who integrates
aromatherapy with manual lymphatic
drainage, emotional release and chakra
healing. Born into a Hindu Brahmin family,
he was brought up in Hindu spiritual
traditions and followed spiritual practices and rituals as part of his
upbringing. He has a lineage of doctors, teachers and healers in the family,
and was exposed to yoga and meditations early in his life with various
teachers and masters. He has incorporated all this learning into his
integrated healing practice. Dr Ravi achieved his Masters in Science (Zoology) and Masters in
Business Management in the late 1970s while quite young. He started his
career in administra tion, then moved on to start his own perfumery business
in India. While blending aromatic oils and products for perfumery, he
realised the healing potential of natural plant essential oils. He found
working with essential oils for health and healing more fulfilling, and shifted
his focus to aromatherapy. He developed his own range of aromatherapy
products for the skin and hair and general well-being in 1993, and started
sharing his knowledge of plant essential oils and their therapeutic effects
through his training workshops first in India and now worldwide. His
documented healing work with essential plant oils earned him a DSc(Medicina Alternativa) from the Open International University of
Alternative Medicine (recognised by the World Health Organization). Part
of that healing experience had been incorporated in his Handbook of
Aromatherapy (Institute of Holistic Health Sciences, 2006). Dr Ravi and his wife ha ve been associa ted with v arious spiritual teac hers
and masters from whom they received the knowledge and understanding of
the chakras, the chakra system and kriya yoga for chakra healing. Their
workshops on the chakras and chakra healing demystify the existence of the
ch


again, but I was not out of the woods yet,” Patrick recalls. “The
damage done to my personal life ran very deep. One day I came
home to nd that my wife had locked me out of the house. No one
answered the phone when I called, and I felt angry and hurt. Miserably I walked over to the park and sat down to meditate. It
didn’t seem to do any good. I felt restless and upset the whole time. “But when I opened my eyes, a remarkable thing happened. My
mind was suddenly very quiet. I tried to think a thought, and one
came, but it immediately settled back into the silence, like a drop
merging into a still pool. I began to notice that the light around me
looked brighte r than usual, and when I heard some childr en playingnearby, their voices struck me as being the most joyful sound I had
ever heard. “It is hard to recapture how free I felt just at that momen t. It was
like having all these dead layers fall o to expose some sensitive,
living part of myself. I walked around a little, and everything had
taken on the same vibrant quality. My intense feelings of aloneness
and shame were now completely gone. I was totally dierent from
the suering person who had sat down on a park bench half an hour
before. ”
I believe Patrick had hit upon the breakthrough that meditation
causes: the self expands beyond the connes of the ego, at rst
gradually, but with greater  and greater intensity, until it is in
complete union with everything. “I and the world are one,” an
ancient Upanishad declares. The transformation of the small,
isolated self into something universal may come only in glimpses,
but this is the true self. It is only a matter of time before one lives its
truth permanently. At the height of his experience, which lasted for half an hour,
Patrick was approached by a panhandler. “Up to this point I was
completely lost in myself. I saw this derelict walking towards me—it
makes me ashamed to use that word. He did not look like a derelict
to me then; he was beyond that kind of value judgment. He was as
alive and vibrant as everything else. “When he was about three feet away, I looked right into his eyes. For some reason, they were changed. They looked shining and soft. I
asked him what he wanted,  and he hesitated, confused. Then he
said, ‘I don’t want nothing. I just hope you’re happy, man. ’ It
sounded funny  coming out of him, and I could see his surprised
reaction to his own words. It was as if he had been draw n into my
experience. In an amazingly  joyous voice, I said, ‘Yes, I’m happy,
very, very happy. ’ I mean, I wanted to embrace this dilapidated,
lthy guy. “He was walking away by now. I turned and started to go o in
the other direction, but when we were about twenty feet apart, I
looked over my shoulder. He was staring at me with disbelief. When
he caught my gaze he turned away for good. I wonder what he sawin my eyes at that moment. Probably disbelief, too, but I hope he
saw more. For a few seconds back there, I deeply loved him. ”
Unconditional Love
This strange encounter between Patrick and the derelict brings us
to the issue of unconditional love, which has become a catch phrase
in popular psychology. The objection I have felt about unconditional
love is that it runs complet ely against the grain of normal love,
which is based upon relationship. The love that exists between
husband and wife is not the same as that between mother and child. The dierence is based upon the type of relationship the two people
have. Where there is no relationship, it is hard to see how love can
ow. In this case, though, Patrick had no relationship whatsoever with
the derelict. They were total strangers who had every reason to feel
suspicious and hostile toward each other. However idealistically one
may want to feel, a shambling, smelly man in raggedy clothes is an
object of love to practically nobody; usually he is an object of
revulsion whom we assiduously avoid in order not to be exposed to
feelings of fear and contempt. But it is at the point where all relationship ceases that the
opportunity for unconditional love actually arises. When you have
no relationship to another person, you are automatically thrown
back upon yourself. The feelings that come out have no basis in
what you need or want from others—they simply come out. If I get
bumped in the street and feel angry, the emotion arises
spontaneously. I may feel guilty about it the next mom ent, but in
that split second it was the only choice my self could make. My level
of awareness did not oer me a better response. In Patrick’s case, his
level of awareness had leaped far beyond its normal limits; this
expansion dictated the response that spontaneously poured from
him. I imagine  his meditation on the park bench was not the sole
cause of this sudden change ; in India they speak of the “Yoga of
desperation,” a breakthrough into higher consciousness resultingfrom a predica ment so terrible that the psyche can nd no other
way out. Whatever the precise mechanism, Patrick found himself in a state
transcending normal perception. Like a yer breaking through a
dense cloud layer to nd blue sky and brilliant sun above, he
discovered that to look at anything was to see it in the light of love. He could not help himself, just as I could not help my anger on
being bumped in the street. The rishis speak of unconditi onal love, in fact, as a transcendental
quality that becomes infused into the mind during meditation. When
the mind goes beyond normal waking awareness, the transcending
process brings  one in contact with unconditional love in its silent,
unmanifest state. “Unmanifest” means that this love is not directed
at anything; it simply vibrates within the nature of the silent
witness, like a radio signal silently waiting for a radio to pick it up. At the end of meditation, the person returns to the waking state
bringing some of this transcendental quality into his everyday
consciousness. A new vibration has been added that alters, however
subtly, the person’s former awareness. This explanation is a twist on the usual understanding of
unconditional love. By denition, you can love someone
unconditionally only if your love does not alter no matter what the
other person does. This aspect of “no matter what” implies a
superhuman eort of will. One cannot help but imagine a plaster
saint who returns rudeness, anger, jealousy, inconsideration, and
every other sort of unloving behavior with sweetness and light. For
all its apparent goodness, this situation smacks of self-denial and
even masochism. The rishis’ version of unconditional love contains no eort at all. A person who feels love “no matter what” is simply following his
nature. In truth, this is all that can be asked of anyone. Acting
according to your own level of awareness is inescapable. In order to
smile at the stranger who bumps into me on the street, I need to feel
like smiling; otherwise, my behavior will be calculated. As we saw
before, calculation is the primary strategy of the false self. It has to
calculate when to smile because it is too afraid to show theemotions actually being felt. Tact and diplomacy, which most of us
applaud as “nice behavior,” can also be seen as the subtle skill of
lying. All of us are radiating our awareness out into the world and
bringing its reection back to us. If your awarenes s contains
violence and dread, you will meet those qualities “out there. ” On
the other hand, if your awareness contains unconditional love, the
world, even the eyes of a derelict, will mirror that love. The curative
value of this kind of awareness is enormous, as I would like to
illustrate with a moving story told by R. D. Laing. At the age of fourteen, a Scottish boy named Phillip came home
from school one day and found his mother on her bed in a pool of
blood. A long-term tuberculo sis patient, she had died from a sudden
hemorrhage in her lungs. Instead of consoling the boy and helping
him to overco me his shock and grief, Phillip’s father berated him,
telling him again and again that he had killed his mother by putting
her through the exhaustion of pregnancy, birth, and raising him. This went on for two months. Then Phillip came home from school
to nd that his father had committed suicide. Six months later, Laing came  across the boy in a Glasgow mental
ward, in a bizarre state of psychological and physical deterioration. As Laing vividly recalls, “He smelled awful. He was incontinent of
urine and feces, given to staggering and walking peculiarly. He
gesticulated in strange ways without speaking, seem ed almost
completely self-absorbed, and could not care less about his
surroundings and the people in


 quently leading to serious deficiencies. These deficiencies are
inevitably misdiagnosed as disease and as aging. Suppose a body needs 30 milligrams a day of niacin to not develop pellagra, but to be fully healthy, needs 500 milligrams dai ly. If that bo dy receives 50 milligrams per day from a vitamin pill, to the medical doctor it could not possibly be deficient in this
vitamin. However, over time, the insidious sub -clinical deficiency may degrade some other system and produce a different disease,
such a s colitis. But the medical doctor sees no relationship. Let me give you an actual example. Medical researchers studying
vitamin B 5 or pantothenic acid noticed that it could, in what seemed to be megadoses (compared to the minimum daily
requirement) largel y reverse certain degenerative effects of aging. These researchers were measuring endurance in rats as it
decreased through the aging process. How they made this measurement may appear to some readers to be heartless, but the best
way to gauge the enduranc e of a rat is to toss it into a five gallon bucket of cold water and see how long it swims before it drowns. Under these conditions, the researcher can be absolutely confident that the rat does its very best to stay alive. Young healthy rats can swim f or 45 minutes in 50° Fahrenheit water before drowning. Old rats can only last about 15 minutes. And old rats swim differently, less efficiently, with their lower bodies more or less vertical, sort of dog paddling. But whe n old rats
were fed pantothenic aci d at a very high dose for a few weeks before the test, they swam 45 minutes too. And swam more
efficiently, like the young rats did. More interestingly, their coats changed color (the gray went away) and improved in text ure;
they began to appear like young  rats. And the rats on megadoses of B 5 lived lot longer –25 to 33 percent longer than rats not on
large doses of B 5. Does that mean "megadoses" of B 5 have an unknown drug -like effect? Or does that mean the real nutritional
requirement for B 5 is a lot hi gher than most people think? I believe the second choice is correct. To give you an idea of how much
B 5 the old rats were given in human terms, the FDA says the minimum daily requirement for B 5 is about 10 milligrams but if
humans took as much B 5 as the  rats, they would take about 750 milligrams per day. Incidentally, I figure I am as worthy as any
lab rat and take over 500 milligrams daily. My point is that there is a big difference between preventing a gross vitamin deficiency disease, and using vi tamins to create
optimum functioning. Any sick person or anyone with a health complaint needs to improve their overall functioning in any way
that won't be harmful over the long term. Vitamin therapy can be an amazingly effective adjunct to dietary reform and
detoxification. Some of the earlier natural hygienists were opposed to using vitamins. However, these doctors lived in an era when the food
supply was better, when mass human degeneration had not proceeded as far as it has today. From their perspe ctive, it was possible
to obtain all the nutrition one needed from food. In our time this is unlikely unless a person knowingly and intelligently pr oduces
virtually all their own food on a highly fertile soil body whose fertility is maintained and adjusted  with a conscious intent to
maximize the nutritive content of the food. Unfortunately, ignorance of the degraded nature of industrial food seems to exten d to
otherwise admirable natural healing methods such as Macrobiotics and homeopathy because these disc iplines also downplay any
need for food supplementation. Vitamins For Young Persons And Children
    Young healthy people from weaning through their thirties should also take nutritional supplements even though young people
usually feel so good that they  find it impossible to conceive that anything could harm them or that they ever could become
seriously sick or actually die. I know this is true because I remember my own youth and besides, why else would young people so
glibly ride motorcycles or, after o nly a few months of brainwashing, charge up a hill into the barrel of a machine gun. Or have
unsafe sex in this age of multiple venereal diseases. Until they get a little sense, vitamin supplements help to counteract t heir
inevitable and unpreventable use of recreational foods. Vitamins are the cheapest long life and health insurance plan now
available. Parents are generally very surprised at the thought that even their children need nutritional supplements; very fe w
healthy children receive them. A few are  given extra vitamin C when acutely ill, when they have colds or communicable diseases
such as chicken pox. Young people require a low dose supplement compared to those of us middle -aged or older, but it should be a broad formula
with the full range of  vitamins and minerals. Some of the best products I have found over 25 years of research and experimentation
with young people are Douglas Cooper's "Basic Formula" (low dose and excellent for children) and "Super T Formula" (double th e
dose of Basic Formul a, therefore better for adolescents and young adults), also from Douglas Cooper Company; Bronson's
"Vitamin and Mineral Formula for Active Men and Women" and Bronson's "Insurance Formula." "Vitamin 75 Plus;" and
"Formula 2" from Now Natural Foods are also good and less costly. Healthy very small children who will swallow pills can take these same products at half the recommended dose. If they won't
swallow pills the pills can be blended into a fruit smoothie or finely crushed and then stirred into appl e sauce. There are also
"Children's Chewable Multi -Vitamins + Iron" (1 -5 years old) from Douglas Cooper that contains no minerals except iron,
Bronson's "Chewable Vitamins" (make sure it is the one for small children, Bronson makes several types of chewabl es) and a
liquid vitamin product from Bronson called Multivitamin Drops for Infants. These will be a little more costly than cutting p ills in
half. There is also an extraordinarily high quality multivitamin/mineral formula for children called "Childre n's Formula Life
Extension Mix" from Prolongevity, Ltd. (the Life Extension Foundation), it is in tablet form, and slightly more expensive. I hope that my book will be around for several generations. The businesses whose vitamin products I recommend wi ll not likely
exist in twenty years. Even sooner than that the product names and details of the formulations will almost certainly be alter ed. So,
for future readers discovering this book in a library or dusty shelve of a used book store, if I, at my curre nt level of understanding,
were manufacturing a childrens and young adults vitamin formula myself, this is what it would contain. Any commercial
formulation within 25 percent of these figures plus or minus would probably be fine as long as the vitamins in the pills were of
high quality. Vitamin C  500 mg  B-1 30 mg

Vitamins For An Older Healthy Person
    Someone who is beyond 35 to 40 years of age should still feel good almost all of the time. That is how life should be. But
enjoying well -being does not mean that no dietary supplementation is called for. The onset of middle age is the appropriate time to
begin working on continuing to feel well for as long as possible. Just like a car, if you take very good care of it from the beginning,
it is likely to run smoothly for many years into the future. If on the other hand you drive it hard and fast with a l ot of deferred
maintenance you will probably have to trade it in on a new one after a very few years. Most people in their 70s and older who  are
struggling with many uncomfortable symptoms and low energy lament, 'if I'd only known I was going to live so lo ng I would have
taken better care of myself.' But at that point it is too late for the old donkey; time for a trade in. Gerontologists refer to combating the aging process as "squaring the curve." We arrive at the peak of our physical function a t
about  age eighteen. How high that peak level is depends on a person's genetic endowment, the quality of the start they received
through their mother's nutritional reserves, and the quality of their childhood nutrition and life experience. From that peak  our
function begins to drop. The rate of drop is not uniform, but is a cascade where each bit of deterioration creates more deterior ation,
accelerating the rate of deterioration. Because deterioration starts out so slowly, people usually do not begin to notice


 a negative or depressive
psychosis. People who are ill or who suffer are rarely cheerful and happy. Anxiety, apprehension and
consequent depression form the rule in sickness of every nature. It is rarely possible for one to
remain mentally or emotionally indifferent to physical discomfort. A certain measure of self-pity
creeps into the consciousness of the most sanguine and stoical. When we consider the nature of
colitis, it is not surprising that the sufferer becomes depressed and anxious. Many so-called
neurotics
 and
psychotics
 are such only because of long standing colitis. In at least ninety-five percent of cases of chronic colitis, constipation is an outstanding feature. It
frequently continues over a period of years, during which time the sufferer tries laxatives,
purgatives, teas, oils, enemas, colonic irrigations, and other means of securing “relief’ from his
constipation, never once realizing that the constipation is only a symptom. Although these measures
often afford some temporary relief, they serve, in the end, to aggravate greatly the condition. All colitis sufferers complain of indigestion, both gastric and intestinal, and of rumbling of gas
in the intestines, with more or less pain, sometimes of a colicy nature. They have a sense of
fullness and uneasiness. Commonly there is a dull and constant or sharp and intermittent headache. Many of these patients complain of a feeling of stiffness and tension, even pain, in the muscles of
the neck, often with pain just below the juncture of the neck and the head. Frequently they describe their symptoms as a “drawing sensation.” Most of these cases appear
anemic and dysemic. They are thin and undernourished, as a rule, although colitis is by no means
115confined to the poorly nourished. The tongue is commonly coated, the taste unpleasant, and the
breath offensive. There may be a feeling of extreme exhaustion, with a lack of enterprise and ambition. Nausea
may develop immediately upon the expulsion from the colon of a large accumulation of mucus. Invariably this is followed by a feeling of great relief. In colitis the facial expression is one of dejection and misery, frequently combined with anxiety,
although many try bravely to repress their feelings,
 while others appear to be in a constant state of
unconcealed apathy. The patient may become very nervous, irritable, excitable, even border on
melancholia and hysteria. Not only a trial to themselves, they become a trial to everyone about them. In severe and long
standing cases, the patient’s whole thinking centers on his physical state. Few conditions can
compete with colitis in engineering obsessions. Many colitis sufferers become habituated to the taking of drugs. They try everything that is
advertised as a remedy. They exhaust the list of laxatives, cathartics, tonics and digestants. They
go from one physician to another, studying their symptoms and confusing their feelings. Enemas,
cascades, irrigations, different methods of dieting, and psychiatrists are all tried in vain. Some
study anatomy, physiology and foods and acquire an extensive technical vocabulary, often quite
meaningless. It has been suggested more than once that the milder types of insanity often have their origin in
colonic irritation. At least mental diseases requiring restraint have evolved in colitiis sufferers. Such cases at least make it clear that the mental
reactions
 to colitis are real and not mere fancies. One man of great prominence gives as his opinion that a chronically diseased colon forms the
basis of more mental and physical troubles than any other single functional abnormality. Most important in caring for the sufferer with colitis is to ignore symptoms and the acute
exacerbations, and to recognize and remove the cause of the suffering. We are fully convinced that
the development of colitis is concomitant with the retention of toxic waste and its accumulation in
the blood and lymph. Whatever will free the body of its accumulated toxic load will prove
adequate care for the colitis sufferer. The mind of the patient and the mind of the one who cares for him must both be freed from the
tyranny of local symptoms. The discomforts must be persistently minimized for the reason that the
mucus, the gas, the rumbling, the spasticity, the constipation, and the nervous irritability, are
neither singly nor collectively the cause of the trouble. Recovery cannot be expected without complete and prolonged rest, away from friends and
relatives and away from the enervating environmental factors. Physical rest means going to bed
and remaining there. It means ceasing physical activities and relaxing. Mental rest requires poise. It means the elimination of worry, fear, anxiety, and depressing emotions. Sensory rest requires
quiet and freedom from sensory excitement. Physiological rest can be obtained only by going
without all food. Fasting soon results in a relaxation of the spastic bowel and stomach. Instead of bulk-free diets, a fast is indicated. Fasting speeds up that part of metabolism that
eliminates waste and rejuvenates fatigued nerve and cell structure. It permits the body to establish
a normal blood chemistry in its own inimitable manner. No man understands how to establish a
normal
blood chemistry. No one can either duplicate or imitate the ways of the body in re-
establishing its normal blood chemistry. The continual irritation of the bowels by drugging can only add to the suffering of the patient, as
this makes the condition worse. Medicated enemas are highly irritating. Enemas containing
116soapsuds, molasses and other such substances are also to be condemned. It is important to know that colitis is but a part of a general irritation and inflammation of the
mucous surfaces of the body (it would have been called but a few years ago, a general catarrh) and
that whatever frees the patient of his colitis will, at the same time, free him of his other
itises
 in
other regions—in the nose and throat, in the womb or in the bladder, to name a few local mucous
membrane inflammations. The common condition called diarrhea is simply a colitis of short duration. Not serious in the
average case, and lasting but a day or two (to a few days) it is the rule of many to neglect the state
of the colon and resort to means of suppressing the diarrhea. Often the condition is nothing more
than a temporary irritation of the bowels by unsuitable or fermenting food. This is especially true
when it develops in children. But repeated crises of this kind tend to evolve chronic colitis. As long ago as 1918, Richard C. Cabot, M.D., of Harvard University Medical School and the
Massachusetts General Hospital, wrote in his book for social workers,
A Layman’s Handbook of
Medicine:
 “Simple diarrhea or acute colitis of adults gets well as a rule in a week or ten days. The important remedies are rest and warmth and starvation.” He indicates that this same care is
best for infants and children, although he thought that a purge at the outset of the diarrhea should
help. The impotant thing for us to note, however, is the recognition of the value of the fast in
diarrhea. I think it should be added that a week to ten days constitutes more time than is required
for most cases of diarrhea to come to an end if fasting is instituted at the first sign of diarrhea. Often two or three days are enough. Amoebic dysentery is a form of colitis that is said to be caused by an amoeba. It is quite
common in many parts of the world and I have had opportunity to handle a number of cases coming
to me from Mexico and South America. I do not think that the dysentery is caused by the amoeba,
but I am convinced that the amoeba and the medication aimed at this microbe tend to perpetuate a
disease that, initially is but a simple inflammation of the bowel. The disease would “run its
course” in a week to ten days in almost all cases, if not complicated by feeding and drugging. When the true cause of the disease is understood and removed a speedy return to health follows,
but if these cases are treated in the usual manner, the disease may last for years and end in death. Drugs to kill the amoeba, medicated enemas to kill parasites—these build ulcerative colitis and
proctitis. The fact is that the war that is supposed to be made on the amoeba too often kills the
patient before the
disease is controlled
. Some day amoebicides,
parasiticides and germicides will
be given up as they tend to kill the patient. Instead of making war on the amoeba, the fast provides an opportunity for the body to cast off its
nutritive redundancy and its toxic load and the diarrhea comes to an end. Whatever part the
amoeba plays in the causation of the disease, it cannot be specific nor can it be primary, as this
microbe ceases to annoy when the fast has progressed for a few days. Two lovely young girls of the same family, citizens of this country, but living with their parents
in Mexico City, where the father was stationed, developed a sickness diagnosed as amoebic
dysentery, a disease very common in Mexico. They had been treated in the regular manner: Drugs to kill the amoeba and plenty of “good
nourishing food.” In spite of the drugs, perhaps because of them, the dysentery persisted; in spite of
the nourishing


. Whenever I'd go to Amarillo for the Panhandle District
Convention of the Texas Dental Association, I would eagerly talk up
my discovery to any brother practitioner who would listen. I'd meet up
with an old friend in a hotel lobby or on the street corner and before
our talk had gone far beyond the us ual polite inquiries, "how's the
folks and how's business", I'd be talking with all the enthusiasm I
could muster about my findings. My report would run something like this: "In Deaf Smith County where I prac tice, most of the people born
and raised there grow up with sound teeth. Ranch people do not drink
milk, they will not milk a cow. If it weren't for people moving in from
other parts of the country, I'd have almost no tooth repair business. About 90 per cent of my business consists of making new sets of teeth
for pyorrhea patients. After a newcomer has lived in Hereford a few
years, provided he has drunk lots of raw whole milk, he develops
resistance to teeth decay. Even the tooth cavities which he brings with
him when he comes to Hereford will be glazed over, if he has drunk
raw milk. It is my conclusion that certain elements in the Deaf Smith
County soil, when taken up by crops and pasture grasses, and from
there taken into the human body in bread, meat and vegetables, in
milk and in butter, create an immunity to tooth decay. Milk does the
immunizing job better than any other food, simply because milk is the one foodstuff that everybody did consume raw until recent years." As a rule, my fellow practitioner would hear me out patiently,
then shake his head and walk away without comment. I suspect that
my old friend, Dr. R. L. Rogers of Amarillo, spoke for them all when
he said to me:
"Doctor George, your story sounds fantastic to me. It stands to
reason that dental conditions in Deaf Smith Country are identical with
dental conditions here in Amarillo or anywhere else. Common sense,
as well as, dental science tells you that." Nevertheless, I kept on investig ating. The more patients I found
with perfect, or nearly perfect mouths and the more I questioned them
about their eating and drinking habits, the more firmly I was
convinced that I was on the right track. After eight or ten years, I concluded reluctantly that telling my
story was of no use. I decided on a different tact. I would gather facts,
say nothing and abide my time. Then, when the opportunity did
present itself I'd spring my discov ery on the scientific world. I received a powerful lift from Dr. C. A. Pierle of Canyon. For
years, that distinguished scientist, the head of West Texas State College chemistry department, had served the Texas State Dental
Association as laboratory technologist. He unfailingly participated in
district conventions in Amarillo. Dr. Pierle gave me the most valuable
cue which I received from any source during all the years in which I
investigated dental decay and its underlying causes. One time I heard Dr. Pierle challenge a group of dentists who
were threshing out the fluorine theory:
"Why all this talk of fluorine in your drinking water? You will
find more fluorine in milk than in water." As he had spent the better part of a lifetime on the chemical
laboratory, Dr. Pierle, scien tist, knew whereof he spoke. Another time I heard Dr. Pierle sum up a spirited discussion of
dental decay, its causes and its prevention in one line:
"Examine your milk drinkers." I kept that line with me at my dental chair in Hereford, and put it
to work. I asked every patient who came to me: "How much milk do
you drink every day. Do you drink raw milk? Do you drink buttermilk and clabber?" For years I made inquiry of my patients as to their milk habits. Almost invariably I found that the possessor of a mouth full of sound
teeth had been a consistent milk drinker from early childhood. A
surprisingly large number liked e ither buttermilk, clabber or both. The significant fact is that the milk those patients drank came
from cows that had grazed on native grass in Deaf Smith County
pastures. In winter, as a rule, the cows had grazed on green wheat. CHAPTER 18

A STATE OFFICIAL LENDS ME AN EAR
 In spite of all the discouragement I had met with, I kept on
investigating and piling up evidence which bore out my theory. At last I got a break. Dr. Edward Taylor, director of dental health for the Texas State
Board of Health, had come up from Austin for our district convention
at Amarillo (January, 1939). When I found Dr. Taylor disengaged for a minute or so, I called
him aside and told him briefly what I had found out about the Deaf
Smith County people's seemingly immunity to tooth decay. "Believe it or not, Dr. Taylor, there are men and women in the
Hereford country where I practice who live into middle age and even older without a single decayed spot on their teeth. I have tried for
years to tell my fellow dentists here at the convention about my discovery; but they just laugh at me. None will believe me and up to now, not a single one has accepted my standing invitation to come to
Hereford and let me show them. This same phenomenon existed in
their own practice, but without a comparison the truth is not seen. "Finally, I decided it was no use trying to sell my ideas to my
fellow practitioners. I determined to  keep my own counsel and keep
on investigating. The more facts I uncovered, the more firmly I was
convinced that I was on the right track. "Doctor, we have something down there—and I believe it comes
out of our mineralized soil—that builds immunity to tooth decay. That
is my theory and there is proof of it right in the people's mouths. I do
not ask you to take my word for it, Dr. Taylor. Come to Hereford and see for yourself." Though Dr. Taylor had listened to me patiently and seemed
interested, he did not commit himself at the time. I thought that would
be the last of the matter. But about si x months later, a letter came from
Dr. Taylor: "Would it be all right for me to come up and see you—
say, one day next week?" he inquired. "Sure," I answered, "come right
ahead." When Dr. Taylor arrived, I called the city superintendent of
schools by telephone: "Dr. Edward Taylor, with the State Board of Health at Austin, has come up for a dental survey. The Doctor wants
to visit the homes of typical Hereford families and inspect their teeth. He wants the families picked just at random. Could you get one of
your teachers to show Dr. Taylor around and introduce him?" The superintendent said that could be arranged. Of course, Dr.
Taylor's guide knew nothing of the survey objective and nothing of
dental conditions in the families to be visited. During his stay in Hereford and vicinity, Dr. Taylor looked at the
mouths of 56 persons. Forty-three were native-born and had lived in
Deaf Smith County all their lives. All those life-long residents had not
a single decayed tooth. The greater number had never had a toothache
in their lives. "Dr. Heard, this thing is simply incredible," Dr. Taylor said when
he had finished. "I am going to do something about it." So when the public schools opened the following September
(1939), Dr. Taylor sent a public health dentist to give all his time to
the study of the Hereford pupils' teeth. There were 810 children, ages
6 to 18 years, enrolled that year. The survey ran through two full
years. In his bulletin, "Factors in Caries Immunity in the Deaf Smith
County Area," Dr. Taylor sums up the survey findings; Out of 289
children, age 6 to 18 years, who had always lived in Deaf Smith
County, only 111 (38.4 per cent) showed tooth decay— averaging only 1.29 decayed spots per child. The public health dentist had found only half as much tooth
decay as Drs. Dean and Jay had fo und in Galesburg, Ill. Until then,
Galesburg had shown the lowest tooth decay rate among school
children of any city in the United States. Like Hereford, Galesburg has fluor ine in its drinking water. Its
1.9 p.p.m. compares with Deaf Smith County's 2.2.p.p.m. For comparison Dr. Taylor carried out dental surveys in two
Texas towns that had no fluorine in their water and other areas with
varying amounts of fluorine. Abilene's school children showed 4.04
and Tyler's showed 6 decayed spots each. Beginning at Tyler, the report concludes, "the tooth decay rate
drops as we approach Hereford geographically." CHAPTER 19. I BECOME A CELEBRITY OVER NIGHT
 After Dr. Edward Taylor got up before the American Dental
Association's research section, at its annual convention in Houston on
an October day in 1941, and reported what he said might prove to be
"one of the most important discoveries in dental history." Until then, I had pursued my stud ies and observations


relaxed, visible breathing movements will be reduced. Y ou may
be able to notice this in a mirror.By using a simple exercise lik e this you can reduce your breathing
movements by 20 to 30 percent. If your stomach muscles start to feel tense,
contract, or jerk, or if your bre athing rhythm becomes disrupte d or out of
control, then the air shortage is too intense. In this situation, a bandon the
exercise for 15 seconds or so and return to it when the air s hortage has
disappeared. The mo st common mistake is t o deliberately tense the muscles of the
chest or abdomen to restrict breathing movements. If yo u find this
happening, then take a break from the exercise for 15 seconds or so. When
you retu rn to it, encourage yo ur breathing to reduce by exerting gentle
pressure on your chest and abd omen with your hands, encouraging your
breathing to slow and diminish using relaxation rather than force. Do not be concerned about the number of breaths you take per minute. Ideally, this should not increase. However, if your BOL T score  is less than
20 seco nds, you may find tha t your breathing rate increases during the
exercise. If this happens, try to slow down your breathing and k eep it calm. As y our BOL T score increases it will become much easier to maintain
control of your breathing during reduced breathing exercises. At fi rst, you may only be able to  maintain an air shortage for 20 seconds
before the ur ge to breathe is too  strong. W ith practice, you will be able to
maintain an air shortage for longer periods. Remember, you a re trying to
create an air shortage that is tolerable but not stressful. Aim to m aintain this
tolerable air hunger for 3 to 5 minutes at a time. Practicing 2 sets of 5-
minute exercise s is enough to help you reset your breathing center and
improve your body’ s tolerance of carbon dioxide.During reduced breathing exerc ises it is vital that you create a hunger
for air in order to bring about an accumulation of carbon dio xide in the
blood. W hen thi s happens, the re spiratory center in the brain is reset toward
a calmer and more normal breathing volume. In order to reset the
respiratory cente r by just a little, it is necessary to experience an air hunger
for abou t 10 minutes. Y ou can d ivide most of the exercises in this book into
2 sets of 5-minute sessions, or, if you feel you are confident and
experienced in reduced breathing, you may practice for 10 minutes straight. The Oxygen Advantage: Encompassing Many Factors to Impr ove

P lease note: Oxygen Advantage exercises that involve holding t he breath
to creat e a medium to strong air shortage during walking, jogging, or
running create a similar ef fect to high-intensity training. As a result, they
are not suitable if you are elderly, pregnant, or have high blood pressure,
cardiovascular disease, type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, depression, cancer,
or any serious health concern. Instead, practice nasal breathing and the
gentle Breathe Light to Breathe Right exercise  until these conditions are
resolved. Similar to physical exercise, it i s recommended to practice the Oxygen

breathing at night, it will be necessary to wear paper tape
across your lips during sleep. •   Practice the Breathing Recovery Exercise  th rough out the day,
ideally spending  10 minutes 6 times per day doing small breath
holds of between 2 and 5 seconds. •   Another option to help recover breathing  is to exhale through
your nose, pinch your nose wit h your fingers, and walk while
holding the breath for 5 to 10 paces. Rest for 1 minute and
repeat 10 times. •   Engage in 10 to 15 minutes of slow walking each day with the
mouth c losed. If you need to breathe through your mouth, you
must stop walking to recover your breath. •  When your BOL T score increases to 15 seconds, you will find it
a lo t easier to bring relaxation to your body and to Breathe
Light to Breathe Right. It is m ore beneficial to practice this
exercise than Breathing Recovery once your BOL T score hasreached 15 seconds. The minimum time re quired for an
individual for such a low BOL T  score is to practice Breathing
Light to Breathe Right for 1 hour per day (6 sets of 10 minutes
each). •   As your BOL T score increases, it will become a lot easier to
engage in physical exercise. Y our expected progress is to
increase your BOL T score to 25 seconds within 6 to 8 weeks. •  Fill in the following chart to mark your progress. Sixty-five-year -old Michael enjoys slow walking. He has chronic
asthma and suf fers from symptoms such as coughing, breathlessness, andwheezing. Mich ael’ s BOL T is 7  seconds. This program emphasizes quality
over quantity. At the beginning, given Michael’ s low BOL T score, he will find it
dif ficult to Breathe Light to B reathe Right because the air h unger may
destabilize his breathing. There fore, a better initial option for him is to
concentrate on breathing only th rough the nose both during the  day and at
night, and to practice many small breath holds (Breathing Recovery
Exercise) throughout the day. It will also be very helpful for Michael to
relax his  body and encourage hi s breathing to soften, as long as doing so is
not stressful and does not destabilize his breathing. Gentle walking alone will be suf ficient for Michael to generate a
tolerable air shortage. He will n ot need to hold his breath during his walk
unless h e feels comfortable doing so. Sometimes, holding the breath during
a w alk is a good way to overcom e chest tightness and to help increase one’ s
BOL T s core. If Michael practic es breath holds during his slow walks, they
should be limited to no more than 10 paces. He should not hol d his breath
beyond the point at which he los es control of his breathing, as doing so will
disrupt his breathing and possibly cause asthma symptoms. Practicing the exercise Breat he Light to Breathe Right is very
worthwhile and will be a lot ea sier for Michael to apply when his BOL T
score re aches 15 seconds. Michael’ s BOL T score will continue to increase
as l ong as he dedicates 10 minutes by 6 times daily to his reduced
breathing. This may sound like a  lot of hard work, but living wi th asthma is
extremely hard work in itself and will already be costing Michael a lot in
terms of reduced quality of life  and productivity. Reducing his breathing
throughout the day will be the b est investment in time that Mich ael has ever

Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        But to do that, C is going to have to be administered atthe maximum dose the body can process. This is easily discoverable by a ‘boweltolerance test’ which basically means you keep taking two or three grams of Ceach hour, (preferably in the powdered, most rapidly assimilable form) until youget a runny stool (the trots). The loose stool happens when there is so much C
entering the small intestine that it is not all absorbed, but is instead, passed through
to the large intestine. At that point cut back just enough that the stool is only alittle loose, not runny. At this dose, your blood stream will be as saturated byvitamin C as you can achieve by oral ingestion. It can make an important difference which type of vitamin C is taken because
many people are unable to tolerate the acid form of C beyond 8 or 10 grams aday, but they can achieve a therapeutic dose without discomfort with the alkaline(buffered) vitamin C products such as calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate, ormagnesium-potassium ascorbates. Vitamin C also speeds up the healing of internal tissues and damaged
connective tissue. Damaged internal tissues might include stomach ulcers (use thealkaline form of vitamin C only), bladder and kidney infections (acid form usuallybest), arthritic disorders with damage to joints and connective tissue (alkalineform usually best). Sports injuries heal up a lot faster with a therapeutic dose ofvitamin C. As medicine, vitamin C should be taken at the rate of one or twograms every two hours (depending on the severity of the condition), spaced out toavoid unnecessary losses in the urine which happens if it were taken ten grams ata time. If you regularly use the acid form of vitamin C powder, which is thecheapest, be sure to use a straw and dissolve it in water or juice so that the aciddoes not dissolve the enamel on your teeth over time. And this is as good a point as any to mention that just like broccoli is not
broccoli, a vitamin is not necessarily a vitamin. Vitamins are made by chemicaland pharmaceutical companies. To make this confusion even more interesting, thebusiness names that appear on vitamin bottles are not the real manufacturers. Bronson’s Pharmaceuticals is a distributor and marketer, not a manufacturer. Thesame is true of every vitamin company I know of. These companies buy bulkproduct by the barrel or sack; then encapsulate, blend and roll pills, bottle andlabel, advertise and make profit. The point of all this is that some actual vitamin
manufacturers produce very high quality products and others shortcut. Vitamin
distributors must make ethical (or unethical) choices about their suppliers. It is beyond the scope of this book to be a manual for going into the vitamin
business. However, there are big differences in how effective vitamins with thesame chemical name are and the differences hinge on who actually brewed themup. For example, there are at least two quality levels of vitamin C on the market
right now. The pharmaceutical grade is made by Roche or BASF. Another form,it could be called “the bargain barrel brew,” is made in China. Top quality vitaminC is quite a bit more costly; as I write this, the price differential is about 40percent between the cheap stuff and the best. This can make a big difference inbottle price and profit. Most of the discount retail vitamin companies use theChinese product. There’s more than a price difference. The vitamin C from China contains
measurable levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, iron and other toxic metals. TheFDA allows this slightly contaminated product to be sold in the US because theRecommended Daily Allowance for vitamin C is a mere 60 milligrams per day. Taken at that level, the toxic metals would, as the FDA sees it, do no harm. However, many users of vitamin C take 100 to 200 times the RDA. The cheapform of C would expose them to potentially toxic levels of heavy metal poisons. The highly refined top-quality product removes impurities to a virtuallyundetectable level. I buy my C from Bronson who ethically gives me the quality stuff. I know for a
fact that the vitamin C sold by Prolongevity is also top quality. I’ve had clientswho bought cheaper C than Bronson’s and discovered it was not quite likeBronson’s in appearance or taste. More importantly, it did not seem to have thesame therapeutic effect. The distributors I’ve mentioned so far, Bronson, NOW, Cooper, Prolongevity
and Vitamin Research Products are all knowledgeable about differences between
actual manufacturers and are ethical, buying and reselling only high quality
products. Other distributors I believe to be reputable include Twin Labs, Schiffand Plus. I know there are many other distributors with high ethic levels but I cannot evaluate all their product lines. And as I’ve mentioned earlier, businessescome and go rather quickly, but I hope my book will be read for decades. I doknow that I would be very reluctant to buy my vitamins at a discount departmentstore or supermarket; when experimenting with new suppliers I have at timesbeen severely disappointed. Co-enzyme Q-
10. This substance is normally manufactured in the human body
and is also found in minuscule amounts in almost every cell on Earth. For thatreason it is also called “ubiquinone. ” But this vitamin has been only recentlydiscovered, so as I write this book Co-enzyme Q-
10 is not widely known. Q-10 is essential to the functioning of the mitochondria, that part of the cell that
produces energy. With less Q- 10 in heart cells, for example, the heart has less
energy and pumps less. The same is true of the immune system cells, the livercells, every cell. As we age the body is able to make less and less Q-
10,
contributing to the loss of energy frequently experienced with age, as well as thediminished effectiveness of the immune system, and a shortened life span. Q-
10 was first used for its ability to revitalize heart cells. It was a prescription
medicine in Japan. But unlike other drugs used to stimulate the heart, at anyreasonable dose Q-
10 has no harmful side effects. It also tends to give people the
extra pick up they are trying to get out of a cup of coffee. But Q- 10 does so by
improving the function of every cell in the body, not by whipping exhaustedadrenals like caffeine does. Q-
10 is becoming very popular with athletes who
measure their overall cellular output against known standards. Besides acting as a general tonic, when fed to lab animals, Co-Enzyme Q- 10
makes them live 33 to 45 percent longer. DMAE  is another extremely valuable vitamin-like substance that is not widely
known. It is a basic building material that the body uses to make acetylcholine, the
most generalized neurotransmitter in the body. Small quantities of DMAE are
found in fish, but the body usually makes it in a multi-stage synthesis that startswith the amino acid choline, arrives at DMAE at about step number three andends up finally with acetylcholine. The body’s nerves are wrapped in fatty tissue that should be saturated with
acetylcholine. Every time a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to thenext, a molecule of acetylcholine is consumed. Thus acetylcholine has to beconstantly replaced. As the body ages, levels of acetylcholine surrounding thenerves drop and in consequence, the nerves begin to deteriorate. DMAE israpidly and easily converted into acetylcholine and helps maintain acetylcholinelevels in older people at a youthful level. When laboratory rats are fed DMAE they solve mazes more rapidly,
remember better, live about 40 percent longer than rats not fed DMAE and mostinterestingly, when autopsied, their nervous systems resemble those of a youngrat, without any evidence of the usual deterioration of aging. Human nervoussystems also deteriorate with age, especially those of people suffering fromsenility. It is highly probable that DMAE will do the same thing to us. DMAE alsosmoothes out mood swings in humans and seems to help my husband, Steve,when he has a big writing project. He can keep working without getting writersblock, fogged out, or emotionally rollercoastering. DMAE is a little hard to find. Prolongevity and VRP sell it in powder form. Since the FDA doesn’t know any MDR and since the product is not capped up,the bottle of powder from Life Extension sagely states that one-quarterteaspoonful contains 333 milligrams. Get the hint. DMAE tastes a little like soursalt and one-quarter teaspoonful dissolves readily in water every morning beforebreakfast, or anytime for that matter. DMAE is also very inexpensive consideringwhat it does. A year’s supply costs about $20. Lecithin  is a highly tonic and inexpensive food supplement that is underutilized


which you pull it into your life. Abundance and success aren’t out there
waiting to show up for you. You are already it, and the Source can only
provide you with what it is, and, consequently, what you are already. Step 3: Stay in an attitude of allowing. Resistance is disharmony
between your desire for abundance and your beliefs about your ability orunworthiness. Allowing means a perfect alignment. An attitude of allowing
means that you ignore efforts by others to dissuade you. It also means that
you don’t rely on your previous ego-oriented beliefs about abundance being
a part of or not a part of your life. In an attitude of allowing, all resistance in
the form of thoughts of negativity or doubt are replaced with simply
knowing that you and your Source are one and the same. Picture the
abundance you desire freely flowing directly to you. Refuse to do anything
or have any thought that compromises your alignment with Source. Step 4: Use your present moments to activate thoughts that are in
harmony with the seven faces of intention. The key phrase here is present
moments. Notice right now, in this moment, if you’re thinking that it’s
hopeless at this stage of your life to change the thoughts that comprise your
belief system. Do you defeat yourself with thoughts of having had such a
long life practicing affirmations of scarcity and creating resistance to your
success and abundance that you don’t have enough time left to
counterbalance the thoughts that comprise your past belief system? Make the choice to let go of that lifetime of beliefs, and begin activating
thoughts right now that allow you to feel good. Say I want to feel good
whenever anyone tries to convince you that your desires are futile. Say I
want to feel good when you’re tempted to return to low-energy thoughts of
disharmony with intention. Eventually your present moments will activate
thoughts that make you feel good, and this is an indicator that you’re
reconnecting to intention. Wanting to feel good is synonymous with
wanting to feel God. Remember, “God is good, and all that God created was
good.”

Step 5: Initiate actions that support your feelings of abundance and
success. Here, the key word is actions. I’ve been calling this acting as if or
thinking from the end and acting that way. Put your body into a gear that
pushes you toward abundance and feeling successful. Act on those
passionate emotions as if the abundance and success you seek is already
here. Speak to strangers with passion in your voice. Answer the telephonein an inspired way. Do a job interview from the place of confidence and joy. Read the books that mysteriously show up, and pay close attention to
conversations that seem to indicate you’re being called to something new. Step 6: Remember that your prosperity and success will benefit
others, and that no one lacks abundance because you’ve opted for it. Once again, the supply is unlimited. The more you partake of the universal
generosity, the more you’ll have to share with others. In writing this book,
wonderful abundance has flowed into my life in many ways. But even more
significantly, book editors and graphic designers, the truck drivers who
deliver the book, the auto workers who build the trucks, the farmers who
feed the auto workers, the bookstore clerks... all receive abundance
because I’ve followed my bliss and have written this book. Step 7: Monitor your emotions as a guidance system for your
connection to the universal mind of intention. Strong emotions such as
passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or inspired,
if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the
abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life. When
you’re experiencing low-energy emotions of rage, anger, hatred, anxiety,
despair, and the like, that’s a clue that while your desires may be strong,
they’re completely out of sync with the field of intention. Remind yourself
in these moments that you want to feel good, and see if you can activate a
thought that supports your feeling good. Step 8: Become as generous to the world with your abundance as the
field of intention is to you. Don’t stop the flow of abundant energy by
hoarding or owning what you receive. Keep it moving. Use your prosperity
in the service of others, and for causes greater than your ego. The more you
practice detachment, the more you’ll stay in vibratory harmony with the all-
giving Source of everything. Step 9: Devote the necessary time to meditate on the Spirit within as
the source of your success and abundance. There’s no substitute for the
practice of meditation. This is particularly relevant with abundance. You
must have an understanding that your consciousness of the presence is your
supply. By repeating the sound that is in the name of God as a mantra,
you’re using a technique for manifesting as ancient as recorded history. I
am particularly drawn to the form of meditation I’ve mentioned previously,
called Japa. I know it works. Step 10: Develop an attitude of gratitude for all that manifests into
your life. Be thankful and filled with awe and appreciation, even if what
you desire hasn’t arrived yet. Even the darkest days of your life are to be
looked on with gratitude. Everything coming from Source is on purpose. Be
thankful while empowering your reconnection to that from which you and
everything else originated. The energy that creates worlds and universes is within you. It works
through attraction and energy. Everything vibrates; everything has a
vibratory frequency. As St. Paul said, “God is able to provide you with
every blessing in abundance.” Tune in to God’s frequency, and you will
know it beyond any and all doubt! OceanofPDF.comIT IS MY INTENTION TO:

“So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited
and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly
trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.”

— Paramahansa Yogananda
Fulfilling this intention to live a stress-free and tranquil life is a way of
manifesting your grandest destiny. It seems to me that what our Source had
in mind when we were intended here is for us to have happy and joyous
experiences of life on Earth. When you’re in a state of joy and happiness,
you’ve returned to the pure, creative, blissful, nonjudgmental joy that
intention truly is. Your natural state—the state from which you were created
—is that feeling of well-being. This chapter is concerned with having you
return to, and access, this natural state.You were created from a Source that is peaceful and joyful. When you’re
in that state of exuberant joy, you’re at peace with everything. This is what
intended you here and what you’re determined to match up with in your
thoughts, feelings, and actions. In a state of joy, you feel fulfilled and
inspired in all facets of your life. In short, gaining freedom from anxiety
and stress is a pathway to rejoicing with the field of intention. The moments
of your life, which you spend being happy and joyful and allowing yourself
to be fully alive and on purpose, are the times when you’re aligned with the
all-creating universal mind of intention. There’s nothing natural about living a life filled with stress and anxiety,
having feelings of despair and depression, and needing pills to tranquilize
yourself. Agitated thoughts that produce high blood pressure, a nervous
stomach, persistent feelings of discomfort, an inability to relax or sleep, and
frequent displays of displeasure and outrage are violating your natural state. Believe it or not, you have the power to create the naturally stress-free and
tranquil life you desire. You can utilize this power to attract frustration or
joy, anxiety or peace. When you’re in harmony with the seven faces of
intention, you can access and pull from the Source of all in order to fulfill
your intention of being stress free and tranquil. So if it’s natural to have feelings of well-being, why is it that we seem to
experience so much “unwellness” and tension? The answer to this question
provides you with the key that leads to the peaceful life you desire. Stress Is a Desire of the Ego
That pesky ego is at work when you’re experiencing stress or anxiety. Perhaps your ego-self feels more effective dealing and coping with stress
because you feel you’re actually doing something in the world. Perhaps it’s
habit, custom, or believing that this is the right way to be. Only you can
analyze the why. But the fact is that stress is familiar, and tranquility is
unfamiliar, so ego desires stress. But there’s no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it’s your thoughts that
create these false beliefs. You can’t package stress, touch it, or see it. There
are only people engaged in stressful thinking. When we think stressfully, we
create reactions in the body, valuable messages or signals requesting ourattention. These messages might reveal themselves as nausea, elevated
blood pressure, stomach tension, indigestion, ulcers, headaches, increased
heart rate, difficulty breathing, and a zillion other feelings—from minor
discomfort to serious, life-threatening illness. We speak of stress as if it were present in the world as

double-whammy moisturizer for thirsty hair.Honey & Jojoba Oil
-1 teaspoon of raw organic
honey
-1 tablespoon of jojoba oil
-A small bowl1. Stir the honey into the jojoba oil and use a small amount to rub into
the lower half of your hair shaft/ends. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before
rinsing with cool water. Y ou can make a larger amount and apply to
scalp if needed, but like the plain jojoba oil, this may end up making
your hair feel a little too moisturized. 182Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Dry HairY ou will need… DirectionsY our hair is like a glorious flower that deserves to bloom in all its glory, not dry up and crisp like a tulip in the
middle of the desert. And just like a flower, you need to water it. Water is the ultimate moisturizer-and no, it
will not dry your hair out even more. Hair is different than skin! There is one very important thing to remember-
sealing. Sealing the water in with an oil will retain the moisture for longer. Some people can get away with
misting several times a day with just an essential oil and water, but I apply a little jojoba afterwards just in case.Water It
-Water
-A spray bottle with a fine mist
setting
-Essential oil of choice
-Jojoba oil (optional)1. Add a drop of essential oil to a spray bottle full of water. Give it a
good shake, and mist hair from a distance 2-3 times throughout the day. Focus on ends. Afterwards, apply a minimal amount of jojoba to ends of
hair to seal with the water. 183Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Dry HairY ou will need… DirectionsDry scalp is not dandruff. Most often caused by changes in weather
(dropping temperatures accompanied by drier air and indoor heating) it
manifests as little white flakes accompanied by itchiness. Uncomfortable
and a cause of insecurity for many people, it’s not as difficult to get
rid of as it seems. Without turning to heavy-duty chemical treatments
purchased in stores, there are solid options for you to try at home to get
your scalp moisturized and flake-free in no time.Dry Scalp
-Place humidifiers around
the house, especially in the
wintertime. -Try not to go overboard with the
heating, or air conditioning, as
both of these things can dry out
your scalp, or your skin in general. -Stick to blow drying the ends of
your hair, rather than your scalp. Coconut Oil Treatment
-Y ou can scoop up a bit of solid or
slightly softened coconut oil and
work this into your scalp instead
of melting it completely. This may
make the application easier. It has
a low melting point, and should
sink right in. 184Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingFull of fatty acids (linoleic, palmitic, oleic, and stearic) sesame oil is a fantastic emollient, softening and
moisturizing skin, as well as forming a barrier that locks moisture in. The jasmine essential oil added can help
relieve the itchiness that comes along with dryness, as well as add a pleasant aroma.Sesame Oil Treatment
-1/4-1/2 cup of sesame oil
-1-2 drops of jasmine oil
-A spray bottle (optional)
-A towel (optional) 1. Rinse your hair out with plain water, massaging your scalp a bit with
your fingers. 2. Heat sesame oil immediately afterwards, and add in the jasmine oil. 3. Massage the oil into your scalp in a circular motion, rubbing in well. There’s no need to rub it into your hair, just your scalp. 4. Wrap your head in a warmed towel (soaked in hot water and then
wrung out, or fresh from the dryer) and then let it sit. Rinse your hair
afterwards with a tiny bit of shampoo to get out any excess oil if needed. 185Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Dry ScalpY ou will need… DirectionsCoconut oil is a wonderful, wonderful, thing when it comes to any issues with dryness. All natural, it absorbs
slowly into the scalp and thoroughly moisturizes it, unlike many products that are water based and dry off
quickly. It is chock full of wonderful medium chain saturated fatty acids (lauric, capric, caproic, caprylic, myristic,
and palmitic) and vitamin E. A study published in 2004 in Dermatitis showed that in addition to moisturizing,
coconut oil actually increased the level of lipids (fats) found on the surface of the skin, which made it appear
more hydrated and healthy.Coconut Oil Treatment
-1/4-1/2 cup of coconut oil
-A bowl
-A towel1. Rinse your hair with water, massaging your scalp some with your
fingers. 2. Warm the coconut oil until liquid (or mostly liquid) and massage the
coconut oil thoroughly into your scalp. Wrap your head in a warm towel,
and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with a little shampoo to get out any
excess oil if needed. 186Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Dry ScalpY ou will need… DirectionsSebum is the oil naturally produced by our bodies that keeps skin moisturized and supple, and our hair healthy. Too much of it is the cause for oily skin or greasy hair, but if you have dry scalp, chances are you aren’t making
enough sebum. Jojoba oil is a great remedy for this since it is actually one of (if not the) closest oil to matching
the sebum we produce naturally. By using it to moisturize your scalp, you are mimicking nature’s way of keeping
your skin flake-free and comfortable. Lavender essential oil is used here to help relieve itchiness.Jojoba Oil Treatment
-4 tablespoons of jojoba oil
-Several drops of lavender
essential oil
-A towel1. Rinse your hair with plain water, massaging your scalp with your
fingertips. 2. Heat jojoba oil to a comfortable temperature and mix in a few drops
of lavender essential oil. Massage thoroughly into your scalp. 3. Wrap your head in a warm towel and let sit for 10-15 minutes, and then
rinse out with a little shampoo if needed. 187Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Dry ScalpY ou will need… Directions188Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comOur skin is our body’s first line of defense against harsh elements, germs, chemicals, and any other external
threats. It is the largest organ and quite impressive in how it functions, but it is not immune to “flaws”, the most
common of which may be getting dry. Nobody likes dry skin. To understand how to deal with dry skin, it’s
important to understand how skin works in the first place. Even though dry skin is common, not many people
really know what’s going on when they get crispy. Skin is made up of countless little cells that are shaped differently and perform different jobs. The dermis is the
deeper layers of skin that gives it its structure, while the epidermis is the outer layer of skin that we see. Deep down cells are growing and reproducing, which push older cells to the stratum corneum (a fancy way
of saying the skin’s surface.) As they near the surface their cell structure changes. By the time they reach the
stratum corneum they are filled with water-retaining proteins, and protected by a protein envelope and lipids
(fats.) These cells are, for all intents and purposes, dead. They lack a nucleus and true cell structure. They are
now your shield, stacked about 10-30 layers deep, and become the natural water-retaining barrier of the skin
(just the barrier in general really.) Free amino acids and several other naturally occurring chemicals, found in the stratum corneum, are your
natural moisturizing factors. Without them, your skin would be dry, brittle, and easily cracked! Y our natural
moisturizing factors are hydroscopic, meaning they attract and hold water, keeping your skin moist and supple. But what’s keeping your moisturizing friends from escaping? Lipids, i.e. fats or fatty acids, that fill the spaces
between the cells of the stratum corneum. These special lipids are hydrophilic, meaning they attract water, and
are stacked in such a way that your natural moisturizing factors can’t leak out of the surface of the skin. They
keep everything where it’s supposed be-they’re the type A part of your skin, if you will. Water needs to be retained in our skin. Without it skin wouldn’t be pliable, and we would run into some serious
problems. The stratum corneum gets water from the deeper layers of the dermis, and from the environment. As
great as it is, a number of factors can still throw the whole system explained above out of balance, and cause
your skin to lose moisture. Damaging culprits can include soap, certain chemicals in cosmetics, harsh weather,
low humidity, and (ironically) too much water. The damage from an irritant result’s in the stratum corneum
struggling to retain water, your protective barrier getting denatured- i.e. disorganized-and your

interrupted electrolysis, one measurement B1 was performed
with nonpolarizable Ag land Ag II electrodes. Accumulated
electrolysis was then interrupted (B) and one measure
ment (B 1) of potential was made over the matrix
between the two non polarizab le electrodes (Ag I and
Ag U), which revealed no appreciable potential differ
ence. Three further measurements of potential were
then made between the Ag I reference electrode and a
"recording" platinum electrode (PIX). These tracings
showed 82=0.35, 83=0.44 and 84=0.43 volts differ
ence over the matrix between the cathode and anode. The magnirude of these potential differences may be
explained as produced by the platinum, whose poten
tial should be determined by the Pt-PtO electrode in
relation to existing alkaline and acidic surroundings. However, the participation of nH2 and n02 ergonars
in redox reactions in the matrix cannot be excluded. ln
order to explore further this possibility, an augmenta
tion of associated reactions became necessary. The
experiments were therefore continued in the following

the KCI bridge of the Ag II electrode. B,-8, represent three

elec-rrodes ). These measuremenr.s revealed electric gradients
of0.35-1>.44 volts. The disturbing effect from atmospheric
C02 is now excluded. See also diseussion (Section H) in
text. The production of ergonars was increased by in
creasing the time of electrolysis and the amount of
current. Instead of only water in the matrix, a 2 M
KCI solution was now used. The concentration of KCI
was made identical with the concentration of KCI in
the salt bridge of the nonpolarizable Ag-AgCI elec
trodes, thereby excluding any possible error from dif
fusion potential at these electrodes. The experiment (Fig. XU! : 11) was carried out as in
the previous experiment but with 4. I volt$ between
the electrodes for 12 hours. After this time the alkaline
and acidic fronts had met and formed a recombination
zone about 27 mm from the cathode and 48 mm from
the anode. Around the anode chlorine bleached the
litmus to about 5 mm from the electrode. Close to the
recombination zone on the acidic side a dark red zone,
four mm broad, in the litmus also accumulated. Mter
12 hours of electrolysis, a potential difference of 0.4

experimental results
The experiments in this section illustrate how an er
gonar (water), by electrolysis in a matrix, gives rise to
ionars (n(OH)-and nH+) and crgonars (nH2 and
n02). The ionars diffuse and migrate in the closed
electric circuit and recombine cvenrually into water. The cathodic nH2 and anodic 1102 ergonars appear as
gas bubbles, trapped in the matrix, far away from the
places of their production. They "save" their electro
chemical energy until conditions arc created which
allow them to start redox reactions. In the experi
ments, such a condition was created when a polariz
able electrode (platinum) was brought into contact
with these ergonars. This result was possible to dem
onstrate by means of combined "measuring and reac
tion circuits". Differences of electric potential are then created of a
magnitude which can only be explained by redox reac
tions at the erg

Just one  more  word  concerning  your  finances. Dear
Hearts,  please  accept  this  and  feel  it with  all the Power  of
your  Being! There  is not one  of you  here,  or among  the
"I AM"  Students,  who  is earnest  and  sincere,  who  could
not before  retiring,  stand  and  raise  your  hands  to the Pres-
ence  something  like  this  and  then  say:  "'Mighty  I AM
Presence!' I refuse  acceptance  of any  financial  limitation
any longer! I positively  refuse  it! Take  command  of me
and my feeling  world! Release  thru  Your  Power  of Divine
Love,  the supply  of money  I require  now!" There  is not one  of you  who  could  not have  it released
in forty-eight  hours,  if you  would  only  realize  it. Try  to
feel that,  with  renewed  enthusiasm  and  a Tremendous  Re-
lease  of energy. It will  bring  about  your  Freedom  in this
respect,  so It gives  you  rest  and  Peace  in your  feeling,  that
your  Application  does  tremendously  more  in all you  re-
quire. I am  determined,  if you  will  allow  Me,  to assist  every
sincere  "I AM"  Student  in America  to be Free,  from  all
feeling  of financial  limitation. Such  a thing  is not possible
in the Understanding  of your  "I AM  Presence." If there
has been  a great  momentum  built,  by the human  sense  of
limitation;  then  call your  Presence  to dissolve  and  consume
every  vestige  of it in your  feeling  world;  because  your  feel-
ing world  is your  Power-house,  and  there  is where  the
things  act. There  cannot  one thing  Out-picture  in your  physical  body
which  does  not have  its cause  in your  feeling  world,  and DISCOURSE  XVIII  277
just remember  that. I call  into  action  today,  the Mighty
Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  to take  command  of your  mind,  body,  your  feeling
and your  world  of activity;  produce  Its Perfection  and  hold
Its Dominion,  and  bring  to everyone  his or her complete
financial  release  from  all limitations. Take  out of each  one's
feeling  world  every  feeling,  which  has  accepted  financial
limitation,  because  of the appearance  world! Set all Free,
Great  Presence  of Life,  and  give  them  such  Courage  and
Strength,  Joy and  Enthusiasm  in their  Application;  the re-
sults  become  so instantaneous,  that  all doubts  and  fears  van-
ish from  their  world  forever. In the Power  of Our  Great  Light;  Goddess  of Liberty,
Victory  and  Goddess  of Light! in Thy  Trinity  of Action,
clothe  these  Beloved  Ones  in Thy  Garments  of Light;
which  hold  Thy  Radiance  in constant  action  about  them;
fills and  charges  their  worlds  with  Thy  Dynamic  Action  of
Courage,  Strength  and  Victory  of the Light! I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XVIII

all of you. The  need  of mankind  today,  is warding  off the
destructive  conditions  which  exist,  where  destructive  In-
dividuals  are trying  to impose  themselves  upon  mankind. We firmly  believe  with  your  co-operation,  that  ninety  per-
cent of the destructive  intent  which  it was  thought  would
be released  upon  mankind,  may  be avoided. I am saying  this  for the first  time  in Our  Experience,  or
the Messenger's  experience,  in conveying  it to mankind. So much  has  been  accomplished  by the Mighty  Decrees
of the students,  thruout  America  and  the World. We Our-
selves  could  not have  believed,  We could  find  such  response
from  mankind. I say to you  Beloved  Ones,  you  will  never
know  until  you  are Ascended  Beings,  the Service  you  have
rendered. So many  times,  you  have  thought  you  were  not
rendering  much  Service,  yet you  were  earnest  and  sincere
in releasing  These  Mighty  Decrees. It is very  wonderful  and
it has  made  possible  so much,  which  We  could  scarcely
have  hoped  for,  that  Our  Rejoicing  I think,  is far greater
than  yours. 278 DISCOURSE  XVIII  279
On the opening  day  of This  Class,  there  will  be a Greater
Release  and  Action  of the Cosmic  Light  into  the human
octave,  than  has  been  thus  far. It means  everything. The
Messengers  even  do not know  it; but why  do you  suppose
it happened  that  you  have  a twelve  day  Class  here ? The
Messengers  started  in to have  a ten day  Class  as usual,  but
it so happened  it became  a twelve  day  Class. There  must
have  been  a far Greater  Reason  for It than  the outer  human
knows. Will  you  please  give  attention  and  comprehend
these  things  which  seem  just  ordinary? From  the  Inner
Standpoint,  they  are most  extraordinary;  because  It is the
Action  of the Divine  Law  of your  Being,  or shall  We  say
the Being  of Life. Because  of what  will  be released,  not only  for your  blessed
selves  here  and  the people  of Detroit,  who  may  not even
be interested,  Its far reaching  Activity  will  pour  out into  the
World. That  is the reason  why  this has become  a twelve  day
Class. Even  the blessed  ones  who  are in charge  of the Ca-
thedral,  thought  those  two  days  were  taken;  yet  it was
found  they  were  not. There  is a Governing  Power  and  In-
telligence,  Precious  People  which  once  you  comprehend
It makes  you  stand  firm. The  Understanding  and  Ac-
knowledgment  of your  Power  to use  these  Inner  Laws,
frees  you  from  human  conditions. You  bring  these  Laws
into action  in the human  octave. Then  you  will  understand,
you are no longer  subject  to the conditions  which  exist  here. Believe  Me when  I say,  you  can move  in the world  un-
touched  by the conditions  about  you;  if you  are firm  enough 305 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
in the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence. It will  release  Its
Tube  of Light  about  your  human  body  and  your  feeling
world;  to make  you  Invincible  to the impact  of human  cre-
ation  around  you. (Wave  of hand  which  repels.) Beloved
Ones,  if you  saw  from  Our  Standpoint,  as you move  among
the creations  of mankind,  you  would  see a sudden  action,
constantly  sending  its impact  against  the human  form. If you  do not believe  in, understand  or call  your  "I AM
Presence"  into  action,  to hold  Its Tube  of Light  about  you,
discordant  conditions  constantly  affect  you  just  like  that—
(waving  motion  of hand)  everywhere  you  move. When
discord  reaches  into  your  physical  body  and  affects
