. Indesperation hefinally decided tousenew experimental
drugs, butwith thesame results—no decrease inherepileptic fits. Isitanywonder
thatshedeveloped kidney trouble, after thistreatment? Soon shecouldn’ thave normal
micturition butrequired acatheter.Forfiveweeks straight, shewasforced tohave the
catheter inplace. During thistime, shecomplained that‘they injected drugs through the
catheter intothebladder inanefforttoreach aninfection. Itwasduring thisperiod inthe
hospital thatshebegan losing theability towalk. After thishersight andhearing became
impaired. Itwasthen thatherphysician toldherparents thatshewouldn’ tliveandsent
her home to die.
Shewasindeed avictim ofthecuring practice. There isnowonder thatatthehospi-
talshelostherability towalk, seeandhear,asshesaid shehadtotake 200pills aday,
every day.Furthermore, shewasforce fed,andhadseven shots aday.Despite hercon-
tinual complaint of lack of appetite, they made her eat.
Herparents took their dying child home. Here shebecame more amaster ofherself.
Shewasdisgusted with having totake somany drugs thatwere apparently making her
worse. Shesaidnoonebutablind person could failtoseethatshewassteadily growing
worse under this treatment.When shearrived home, shehadtobecarried tobed. Sensing thatthedrugs were
making herworse, andwith thepermission ofherfather,shequit90% ofthem. Shewas
afraid toquit allofthem atonce. Disgusted with theencumbering anduncomfortable
catheter,shetook itout.Shenoticed immediate improvement inherhealth. Hereyesight
improved, herimpaired hearing became normal andalmost overnight shefound thatshe
could walk again. W ithin five hours her bladder was functioning satisfactorily.
When itwaslime tomake herregular triptotheepileptic clinic, shewalked inunaid-
ed.HerM.D. marveled atherimprovement andcalled inother practitioners toshow off
themiracle. Thegirlthatcouldn’ twalk, thatwasdying justafewweeks before, walked
inunaided! Herdrugs were indeed miracle workers! Heimmediately prescribed more of
thesame. Henever learned thatshehadquittaking most ofherdrugs. Itwasafter this
that she presented herself to the Hygienist.
Can sheregain thehigh level health shehadatbirth? How much recovery canshe
make after being subjected tosuch treatment? Itisdoubtful thatshecanregain thehigh
level health ofwhich herpristine organism wascapable. Drugs andsurgery have made
ofheracripple. This girlhasadamantine determination, however,andI’msure thatshe
will recover as much health as is possible.
TheHygienist haslittle towork with when apatient comes tohimmachine gunned
with Xrays, vandalized bythesurgeon’ sknife andenervated bythedrugging practice.
Can youimagine afamily afraid totrynatural andharmless methods after subjecting
their daughter toallthemost pernicious practices ofourtimes? Herfamily wasagainst
herfrom thestart andshehadtoplead, begandcajole them into letting herstay long
enough totake alengthy fast. Because ofhermedical abuse, Iwasfearful oftaking her
asanything may happen onafastafter such treatment, andherparents would have been
the first to point an accusing finger.
Attheendof18days offasting they toldhershewould have tocome home soon. I
immediately broke herfastinorder thatshewould beable totravel. Shebegan having
mild convulsions soon after taking juices, anddeveloped aslight fever andsymptoms
ofacute distress. There wasnothing todobutplace herback onthefastandletnature
continue thehealing process. Somehow shepersuaded herparents toletherstaylonger.
They were very apprehensive andcouldn’ tbelieve thatshecould livethrough 18days
offasting. When shecontinued onthrough 58days offasting, they were sure shecould
noteven walk down tothephone andtalktothem. During thesecond fastshepassed
kidney stones. During hersecond fastandsubsequently shehadnoconvulsions andhas
not reported any since leaving here.
How soon shewillreach positive andtoplevel health depends upon how well she
carries outherHygienic living. Butasmentioned atthebeginning ofthisarticle, shewill
have her limitations because of medical bungling.
Itisunfortunate butmost everyone coming totheHealth School hashislimitations
inrecovery because ofhisprior useofdrugs, Xrays andsurgery.Itisnotonly theelder-
ly,whose health hasbeen wrecked bydrugs andsurgery,butyounger andyounger per-
son’s,organisms areimpaired because oftheir physicians’ poisons andtheir surgeons’
knives.
Daily wereceive clippings inthemail from Canada andtheUnited States describing
theevils attributed todrugs, butthedrugging continues. Neither patients norphysicians
losetheir faith inmagic potions. Itseems thatvery fewpeople ever losetheir faith inthe
physician with hisarmamentarium ofpoisons. Despite alltheenlightenment ofhazar-
dous effects ofdrugs inthepapers today,physicians andtheir patrons cling tothebelief
in their ef ficacy and harmlessness. The drugging continues.
The title ofanarticle received recently,is“No Drugs During Pregnancy,”then in
small letters “unless absolutely necessary.”These were thewords ofDr.Benirschlese,
research pathologist ofanimal pregnancies. Toprevent pregnant mothers from refusing
drugs aloop hole isalways leftforthephysician todeem thetaking ofadrug absolutely
necessary.Intelligent mothers, fearing itmay hurt their baby,may balk attaking theirphysicians’ prescriptions andruffletheir physicians’ pride. Hecanthen assure them that
he is giving the drug only because it is “absolutely necessary” in each instance.
Dr.Benirshchlese said “even such simple drugs assleeping pills have unknown ef-
fects onunborn children.” Hecontinues, “Wedon’treally know what effectdifferent
drugs have on the human fetus but we do know they bring about changes in animals.”
Arewenotoftheanimal kingdom? Areweintangible angels? Weareoftheanimal
kingdom andwehave themost complex anddifferentiated organism ofanyanimal on
earth. Because ofthiscomplexity,many more things cangowrong with human physiol-
ogythan with thephysiology ofalower animal. Wecanalso enjoy greater functioning
capacity than the lower animals because of our increased complexity of structure.
Asimple machine hasfewer things togowrong than amore complex one. The
slightest change incomplex machine willimmediately upset itsworkings, whereas alit-
tleflaw inasimple machine may notresult inanymodification ofthemachine until the
damage becomes immense, then it is easily fixed.
Being themost complex living organism, man ismore sensitive toinimical agents
andinfluences than arethelower animals. Ithasbeen shown thatman ismore sensitive
to radiation than the mouse, so also is he more sensitive to drug poisons.
Asignificant remark made byBenirschlese wasexactly what Dr.Shelton hasbeen
saying foryears, thata“nine-month gestation period inhumans makes research difficult
andlong-term effects ofdrug useshould bestudied until achild istwenty years old.”
Minute impairments ofvital organs from drugging may notmanifest until achild has
reached maturity.Theincrease inmicrocephaly,liver damage, heart trouble, kidney trou-
ble,diabetes, andcancer inyounger andyounger people makes uswonder justhow
many ofthese young people would nothave suffered iftheir parents hadnottaken drugs
while these children were in utero.
Thevigor thatwasmanifested inourpioneers andintheAmerinds isnotseen today
inouryouth andmiddle aged. This iscertainly dueinpart toourgreater dependence
upon themedical profession tocare fortheslightest bruise, cutorheadache, andthepre-
scriptions of drug poisons given for these mild af flictions.
Recently ajury awarded achild $500,000 because hermother wasgiven demerol, a
drug used tolessen pain during labor,andthechild failed todevelop mentally.Thechild
waschronologically seven buthadthemind ofathree-year old.Thedrug wasnotsup-
posed tobegiven tomothers ofpremature babies. Despite theprematurity ofherbaby,
this woman’ s physician gave her the drug.
Another clipping received bymail stated “digitalis drug poisons many patients.” The
article states,“digitalis, oneofthemost commonly-used drugs fortreating heart failure,
causes some form ofpoisoning inanunbelievably unusually high proportion ofthepa


 adangerous firethatmay ultimately extinguish thewhole hu-
man race, even without theoccurrence ofanatomic war.Theplain factisthatnobody
knows how tobypass theunspeakable biological debasement which always follows any
widespread increase in nuclear radiation.
Due tothefactthatcertain tissues tend toconcentrate particular chemical elements,
sometimes totens ofthousands oftimes thatpresent inthesurroundings, even though
only traces ofradioactive substance may bepresent inthewater from anatomic power
station, plants growing inthewater orairmay absorb andstore thesubstance until are-
allyhigh concentration isbuilt up.Animals eating these plants will receive andsuffer
from radiation. TheJapanese found, totheir horror,thatittakes asurprisingly short time
forfishtoeatslightly contaminated smaller forms tobecome themselves highly radioac-
tive.
Most alltheinhabitants oftheearth arereceiving minute, butcumulative doses of
radioactivity andallfuture testing ofatomic hydrogen andcobalt bombs will increase
the danger to human, animal, and plant existence.
When inApril of1958 Dr.Linus Pauling called attention totheradioactive menace
ofcarbon 14,which results from nuclear explosions, hisstatements were hooted atthe
subsidized scientists oftheAtomic EnergyCommission, who said thathisstatements
were exaggerated andthey accused him ofirresponsibility.Hehadsaid, among other
things, thattheradiocarbon from thirty megatons offission “will ultimately beresponsi-
bleforthebirth of230,000 defective children andalso430,000 embryonic andneonatal
deaths.”
Thescientists oftheAEC have since eaten their words. Adocument titled, “The Bi-
ological Hazard toMan ofCarbon 14From Nuclear Weapons,” hassustained Pauling’ s
estimates. Dr.Ralph E.Lapp, ofthecommission, says thatDr.I.Leipunsky,also ofthe
AEC, concludes that“bomb carbon 14asof1960 may ultimately involve 100,000 cases
ofgross physical andmental defects, 380,000 cases ofstillbirths andchildhood deaths
and900,000 cases ofembryonic andneonatal deaths. Dr.Pauling’ sprevious estimate
wasbased onthirty megatons, which were about halfthemegatons exploded upthesum-merof1958. Hisestimates arequite close tothose oftheAEC. Lapp adds: “Absolute
numbers, such asthose cited forcarbon 14genetic damage areimpressive, especially
when they apply tothe266future generations covered bythepersistence ofcarbon 14s
long life (average life of 8,000 years“).
Iwould substitute theword frightening fortheword impressive inthislaststatement.
Thefactisthattoday,nobody—physician, physicist, biologist, orgeneticist, knows the
long-term, ultimate effects ofradiation. Thestudy ofthese effects isonly initsinfancy
andthere remains much yettobelearned. Indeed, there isreason tothink thatthere is
much already known that has not been made public.
Itisnoteworthy thatfrom theoutset ofthestudy ofradioactive damages, there has
been arepeated downward revision ofthemaximum permissible dose. Looking back, it
isobvious thatourscientists have constantly underestimated thehazard. Thepermissible
dose of1931 wasreduced byhalfin1936 andthen tolessthan halfagain in1950. By
1957 thefigure hadbeen reduced tolessthan athird ofthe1950 dosage. This isatotal
reduction toone-fifteenth ofthe1930 dosage. Itisnow generally thought thatthatthere
isnothreshold dosage, asIhave mentioned before. Commenting upon thissteady-low-
ering ofthepermitted maximum dose, Dr.L.S.Taylor,oftheU.S. Bureau ofStandards,
said: “Itwillbeextremely difficult tolower thestandards further andstillpermit theef-
fective use of radiation in medicine, industry and research.”
Aluminous dialwrist watch worn twenty-four hours adaywould give thecentral
body including thesexorgans adose ofabout 40mr/year.Airplane pilots alsoreceive a
considerable dosage peryear from luminous instrument panels. Itseems thatevery mod-
erninvention isfraught with danger,andtheonly intelligent thing todoistoscrap the
so-called “modern conveniences” (theharmful ones) ifwewish topreserve thehuman
race in some intelligible form.
Article #4: A New Pathway to Extinction by Virginia Vetrano
Theonly way tostop thethreat ofanatomic waristobantheuseofallnuclear weapons
andcease manufacturing fission products bytheuseofatomic power plants. Power
plants arecontributing heavily tothepollution ofourstreams, rivers, seas, andourat-
mosphere. Ifthisrateofpollution continues, soon there will benofood, nowater,or
airwhich issafe toeat,drink, andbreathe respectively.Wearedestroying ourplanet
andworking fortheextinction ofmankind. Wemust stop allnuclear explosions andall
atomic power plants. There isnoneed tobecowards andletourselves bepushed around
from now toeternity,which won’ tbefaroffifthistesting ofnuclear weapons isnot
stopped and atomic power plants abolished.
Withincreased bomb testing, wehave nothing tolook forward tobutshowers of
invisible radioactive dust pouring down upon usandpenetrating outbodies bymeans
ofourair,food, andwater forthenext fivetoseven years ormore. Themost ominous
threat, however,istoourchildren. They aretheones who willreap most oftheharvest
ofthismadness called “preparedness forpeace,” andtheyounger thechild themore sen-
sitive and more easily damaged are his cells from radiation.
Dr.Linus Pauling most forcibly says, “The only safe amount ofstrontium 90inthe
bones ofchildren iszero.” Unfortunately atom andhydrogen bombs never yield thissafe
amount. Hefurther emphasizes thatiftesting ofatomic bombs continues, about 100,000
children ofthenext generation intheUnited States willdie.Healsostated, andthiswas
before theFrench tests intheSahara, that“these bomb tests willalso cause thebirth of
200,000 seriously defective children inthenext generation ofhuman beings, children
with serious mental deficiency or serious physical defects.”
Can weafford to“relax andenjoy life” when thevery essence oflifeisbeing de-
stroyed? Thepool ofhuman germ plasm isbeing greatly damaged, ourmental capacities
arediminishing, ourphysical capacities deteriorating andyetwedonothing. Anation-
alrevolt isnolonger adequate; what weneed isaworld revolt. Billions ofyetunbornchildren willcome intothisworld with diminished mental capacities andserious physi-
caldefects because we,thethinking portion ofthepopulation, have notmade ourselves
heard. Itiswewho aretoblame forthisgross crime committed against thefuture human
race. Inthehistory oftheUnited States, nounwanted thing continued toexist when the
whole population stood together andrebelled. Unfortunately,rebellion andsingularity
seems to have been knocked out of all Americans.
Wemust unite tofight every profession using Xrays fordiagnosis andtherapy,we
must fight theAtomic EnergyCommission andevery other nation which desires toenter
intheatomic race. Every source ofdamage toourchildren andfuture children must be
abolished lessweperish from thisearth. Wemust expect much strong opposition from
allthese sources because notonly aretheir bread andbutter injeopardy butalso their
diamonds, fur coats, and Cadillacs.
Furthermore, thisclass ofpeople won’ tstop their damaging practices unless they are
forced todoso,asisevidenced bythecumulated facts before us.Despite thefactthat
scientists have predicted thestrontium 90content inJapan would bebeyond theAEC
safety limit by1962, andthatin1959 stillborn babies ofSouthern Japan were being
found with theSr90content already exceeding theso-called “safe limit,” nations con-
tinue toclamor formore testing ofatomic andhydrogen bombs. Other evidence that
force isnecessary tostop these damaging influences isthefactthatthex-raying ofpreg-
nant women hasbeen continued well intothepresent time, although foryears ithasbeen
known thatexposing afetus oranembryo, even momentarily,toXrays could cause can-
cer in early childhood.
Even authorities, such asSchubert andLapp aredisturbed over what they call“our
irradiated children.” They say“thousands ofinfants andchildren intheUnited States
areneedlessly exposed tomore radiation inoneyear than would beallowed atomic en-
ergy workers inalifetime.” They were speaking ofmedical anddental sources ofX
rays, which isanother thing theAEC overlooks when planning oncontaminating theair
with more fallout; thefactthatourpopulation asawhole isalready over irradiated from
medical anddental uses ofXrays only more aggravates thehurt. Ourresponsibility is
toprotect ourchildren from these unnecessary andinim


 various illnesses, including cholera. I
might add, thatforthesake ofcleanliness, pure distilled water would bebest todrink,
here oroverseas, andforabsolute cleanliness ofvegetables andfruits, rinse them well in
distilled water.Thecholera vibrio iseasily killed bydrying, anditdies rapidly inpure
water. It is cleanliness that is necessary, not sterility.
Cholera, anacute inflammation oftheintestinal canal, issupposedly spread byfood
andwater contaminated with vibrio cholerae.Itisusually adisease endemic andepi-
demic inAsia primarily along theGanges River inIndia andPakistan. The bacillus,
which isshaped likeacomma, andwascalled thecomma bacillus byKoch, itsdiscov-
erer,releases apowerful endotoxin after death, which contains amucinase. Mucinase is
thought toberesponsible fortheextreme cellular desquamation ofthemucosal epitheli-
umthatissocharacteristic afeature ofcholera. Theendotoxin supposedly causes such
intense dilatation ofallthecapillaries along thewhole intestinal tract thatthefluid leaks
outofthese intotheintestines, thus producing therice-water stools sotypical ofAsiatic
cholera. Because ofthelossofsuch huge quantities ofelectrolytes andwater,extreme
dehydration ensues, and Boyd states that 75% of the untreated patients die.
Since thevibrio cholera does such horrible things toaperson, byallmeans,
shouldn’ twetake steps toprevent infection?These threats could scare oneinto being
immunized despite thepoor reports ofimmunization,before going totheMiddle andFar
East. Who wants todehydrate anddie? Sowebecome immunized andavoid allfresh
foods, hoping that we won’ t develop the disease.
Germs bythemselves donotcause disease. Dr.Pettenkofer,Professor ofBacteriolo-
gyattheUniversity ofVienna, astounded allhisstudents onedaybydrinking aglass of
water containing millions ofliving cholera bacilli. Hehadcome totheconclusion that
germs donotcause disease, andwanted toprove it.Ashegulped down aglassful ofliv-
ingvibrio, thebearded Dr.Pettenkofer only growled, “Now letusseeifIgetcholera.”
DeKruif saidthatDr.Pettenkofer drank enough ofthe“wiggling comma germs toinfect
aregiment.” Nothing happened tothe“mad” Pettenkofer.Many incidents could becit-
edshowing thatinfecting thebody with germs does notcause anyspecific disease to
develop. Perhaps thisiswhy thepresident waspersuaded todump stockpiles ofgerms
forgerm warfare. Perhaps experiments proved them useless andphysicians didn’ twant
thelucrative germ theory destroyed justyet.Ifgerm warfare were effective, itishardly
likely that he would have disposed of the stockpile.
Asfarback 1928, Dr.M.Beddow Dayly,M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P.,Medical World, said:
“Iamprepared tomaintain, with scientifically established facts, thatinnosingle in-
stance hasitbeen conclusively proved thatanymicroor ganism isthespecific cause ofa
disease.”
InVolume VIoftheHygienic System,Dr.Shelton says: “Inmore than sixty years
ofintensive farming thegerm idea, there isnotone‘disease’ thathasbeen proved tobe
ofgerm origin, andnotonecanbecured according tothegerm theory.Unless agerm
willcause adisease every time itinfects thebody,itisnotacause. Acause must beas
constant andspecific initsinfluence, oritisnotacause. Germs areomnipresent—this
isoneofthefundamental truths Pasteur orhiscontemporary,Bechamp, discovered; but
heandhisfollowers appear tohave overlooked thefactthatgerms failtohave aspecific
influence all the time.”
Dr.Shelton further says: “The view Iwould putbefore thereader isthat‘disease’ is
notcaused bythegerm, butbythestate ofthebody thatallows thegerm toflourish. And
thiscondition oftheorganism oranypartofitwhich renders possible thegrowth ofthe
germ therein isthemuch sought for‘filterable virus.’ Itistheoutgrowth ofviolations of
the laws of life and is no chance or haphazard condition.”Dr.Tilden says thatgerms aremerely adventitious—secondary.Ifthesoilisproper
forthegrowth ofbacteria, they willflourish butiftissues andsecretions arenormal and
healthy, pathological germs will not grow and multiply.
Those who travel anddrink alcoholic beverages, smoke, keep latehours, overeat on
spicy,cooked dishes, andsight-see until they areabout todrop areenervating them-
selves. They areusing upnerve energyinexcess. Functions begin tolag.Metabolic
waste products mount inthetissues andfluids ofthebody.Secretion andexcretion are
impaired. This istheground work, orthefoundation forthedevelopment ofanydisease.
Even then, many times thespecific bacteria failtoappear.And innumerous other cases
thebacteria failtoappear until very lateinthestage ofthedisease. Ifacause isacause,
logically itshould bepresent insufficient numbers before symptoms appear.Itcannot be
demonstrated thatbacteria invariably appear even after thedevelopment ofaparticular
disease.
What isthereal reason forFredrick Stare’ schange infeeling about vaccinations
forcholera? Probably,hewasgiven agood lecture bytheAMA. Thousands ofdollars
willbelosttotheAmerican medical profession ifpeople donotgettheir immunizations
before they leave home. Sohecastigated hisbrethren physicians inother countries by
telling hispublic thatitisimportant toavoid thedirty needles inother countries. Itwould
have been better totellthem thetruth, thatthey could relyonArticle 83oftheWorld
Health Organization andgofreely inother countries, aslong asthey letthehealth offi-
cials know oftheir whereabouts. This way apainful shot could beavoided aswell asthe
occasional development of hepatitis from dirty needles in thiscountry.
Why therecent outburst ofcholera? Anitem under World Health News, intheSep-
tember 1971, Health ForAll(England), hasavery good answer tothisquestion. Itstates:
“Whenever there isagreat social upheaval, with itstragic displacement ofpeople and
theconsequent crowding ofrefugees, there isalways amedical lesson tobelearned. Dis-
ease often follows inthewake ofsuch catastrophes, and, aswith themost recent one,
cholera becomes almost epidemic. According tomedical opinion, thecausative organ-
isminthiscase isthespirillum cholerae which isfound inthestools ofpatients. Entry
intothebody isthrough thealimentary tract, andthesource oftheinfection ispolluted
water duetoalack ofsanitation. Tosaythattheorganism isthecause ofthedisease is,
however,toputthecartbefore thehorse. Thecourse ofevents runs inthisorder; First
thebreakdown ofsocial order; then thepanic ofthepopulation; andthen thecrowding
ofthepeople with theabsence ofsanitation, with thedevelopment oftheorganism as
anassociated factor.Inthiscountry,ashistory tells, cholera waswidespread whenever
people were crowded together and there was a lack of proper sanitation.
“Itisinteresting tonotice thatwhenever there isacholera outbreak, theheadlines in
thenewspapers aregiven over theuseofvaccines, towhich, also, credit isgenerally af-
forded when theepidemic comes under control. Thevaccines arerushed from thegreat
pharmaceutical centres with theaccompaniment ofmassive publicity with theresult that
probably 99persons outof100would affirm thevaccines were effective incontrolling
the situation.
“Itwould therefore have come asasurprise tomany people tohave read onthefront
page ofMedical News Tribune,June 11,1971, theheadline: ‘Medical science helpless
against cholera epidemic’ andtohave learned that‘medical science isvirtually power-
lessintheface ofthecholera epidemic ontheIndia-Pakistan border.Tropical medicine
experts can’teven estimate how many could die.Better sanitation istheonly answer,
impossible inthepresent situation asmillions ofPakistani refugees exist interrible con-
ditions, aggravated by the monsoon....’ ”
Boyd’ stextbook ofpathology states that, “The wise Chinese aretheonly Orientals
who donotsufferfrom cholera; they useboiled water andcooked food, they drink tea
andeathotrice.” Wehave hadpersonal talks with Scott Nearing, who also said that
cholera was virtually wiped outinChina, butthisisattributed tobetter sanitation and
better diets fortheChinese and


 toproperly masticate thefood, eating hotandcold foods,
eating when fatigued, when emotionally stressed, when cold, andthepractice ofeating a
hearty meal andreturning immediately towork, impede thedigestive process. Allsuch
abuses help to lay the ground work for disease of the stomach.
While taking such stimulants astea,coffee,andcocoa, andsuch narcotics astobacco
andalcohol contribute towards thecausation ofgastric impairment, thehabit ofusing
condiments isoften worse. Acrid sauces, burning peppers, pungent spices, stinging mus-
tard, mordant vinegar,biting alcohol, irritation-causing salt—when, how,andwhy did
man begin thepractice ofabusing hisdigestive system with these piercing, caustic sub-
stances? Curry andcayenne, mustard andhorse radish, chili andtobasco sauce, whiskey
andgin—what unfit substances tointroduce intothehuman stomach! They have nofood
value, areindigestible andretard thedigestion oftherealfoods. When taken regularly,
they keep thestomach inastate ofchronic inflammation. They damage theintestinesandliver also. They lack asingle redeeming feature andnone ofthedefenses oftheir
“use” are valid.
Itshould beunderstood thatanyact,habit, orindulgence thatlowers functioning
power,thisistosay,anything thatcauses enervation, willlessen digestive function and
pave theway fortheevolution ofchronic gastritis. Overwork, lossofsleep, lack ofrest,
stimulation, food deficiencies, emotional stresses, etc., bylowering thepower ofthe
nerves to maintain normal function, produce indigestion.
Chronic gastritis frequently follows upon theheels ofrecurring acute gastritis. This
tendency ofacute gastritis tobecome chronic grows outofthefactthatthecauses of
therecurring acute crisis arenotremoved. Assoon asthesufferer recovers from acute
gastritis, hebegins again tobuild thecondition allover again. Both forms ofgastritis are
duetothesame cause orcauses. Acute gastritis ismore common intheyoung; chronic
gastritis is more often found in adults.
Chronic gastritis often follows acute diseases, such astyphoid fever anddysentery.
Inthese instances thegastritis, except theinitial acute gastritis thatissure tobepresent,
ismost likely caused bythedrugging fordysentery andtyphoid. Drugging inacute dis-
ease frequently soimpairs thestomach thatchronic gastritis evolves. Feeding inacute
disease doubtless assists inthedevelopment ofchronic gastritis. Inlike manner,the
chronic gastritis thatissaid tobecaused byarthritis, gout, etc., isdue, inlargemea-
sure, tothedrugging. Aspirin, forexample, hasavery irritating effectupon thestomach.
When chronic drugging isadded tothewrong feeding andother causes ofdisease in
these diseases, chronic gastritis is almost inescapable.
The drugs employed intreating acute andchronic diseases arenottheonly ones
thatdamage thestomach andcause chronic gastritis. The drugs commonly used with
which tosmother theeffects ofbigdinners andother common abuses ofthestom-
ach—bicarbonate ofsoda,, milk ofmagnesia, Alkaseltzer,Rolaids, Turns, Pepto-Bismol,
etc.—as well asthose drugs usually employed inthetreatment ofchronic gastritis, dam-
agethefunction ofthestomach, occasioning irritation, exhaustion, andimpeding the
work ofdigestion. Thetemporary “relief” they afford ispaid foratafearful price, even
including in its costs gastric ulcer and cancer.
Belching (eructation) ofgas, sour andfermenting foods, bitter substances, acondi-
tion commonly called “heart burn,” thegases often searing thethroat andnose, abad
taste inthemouth, acoated tongue, foul breath, discomfort inthestomach, often a
frontal headache, diarrhea orconstipation orboth, alternately,weakness, an“allgone
feeling,” afinicky appetite ornodesire forfood atall,afeeling offullness, bloat after
meals—these symptoms continuing, often foryears, make thelifeoftheman orwoman
who has chronic gastritis one of misery.
Acapricious appetite, inability toeatcertain foods thatdonot“agree,” periods ofex-
cessive hunger,lossofweight from malnutrition, palpitation oftheheart from gaspres-
sure, pains inthechest from thesame cause, sometimes difficulty inbreathing from gas
pressure, weakness, inability tosleep, mental depression, melancholia, “nervousness,”
even insome cases, mild mental symptoms, thedegrees andcombinations ofsymptoms
varying with individuals, almost completes thepicture ofthemisery ofwhat ourgrand-
fathers called the “dyspeptic.”
Tocarry thepicture abitfurther,however,letusbriefly think ofthecase inwhich
thickening ofthepyloric membrane results from thelong-continued irritation andin-
flammation. This obstructs thepyloric valve (thevalve opening toletthedigested food
pass into theintestine), thus preventing normal emptying ofthestomach, with there-
sulting pains ofobstruction. The treatment ofthisisusually thegastroenterostomy,or
theformation ofafistula between thestomach andtheduodenum, thus bypassing the
pyloris.
This isthesame ofmedico-sur gical malpractice. Itisaseasy toreduce athickened
pyloric mucosa (membrane) byfasting asitistoreduce athickened membrane inthe
nose thatobstructs thenasal passage andcompels mouth breathing. Wecanwatch theprocess inthenose; wecan“see” itinthestomach only symptomatically.Wecansee
thesymptoms ofpyloric obstruction clear upandnormal emptying ofthestomach take
place.
Perhaps nostate ofimpaired health ismore responsive tothephysiological restthan
chronic indigestion. Itshould notbenecessary tohave tosaythatallcauses ofenerva-
tion, allcauses ofimpaired digestion, allcauses ofstomach irritation should beremoved.
Norecovery ofhealth ispossible solong asthese remain. Remove these causes andpro-
vide thedisabled stomach with amuch-needed restanditwillrepair itsdamages, recu-
perate its forces and begin to function normally again.
Donotgettheidea from thisthattheprocess issimple inlong-standing cases. Some
ofthese victims ofabuse recover slowly andwith many “set-backs,” sothatmuch skill
isrequired topilot them back togood health. Feeding after thefastisspecially important
andoften presents problems. Blanket diets, cut-and-dried feeding formulas, feeding pro-
grams based onthelaboratory fallacy thatevery man andwoman, regardless ofhisor
herpeculiarities, occupation ordigestive capacity,should eatacertain amount ofcertain
kinds of food each day, all meet their W aterloo in chronic gastritis.
Eating must bemoderate, sometimes buttwomeals adayandinoccasional cases,
butonemeal aday.Correct combinations must berigidly adhered to,themeals should
besimple andallarticles offood with which theindividual hasdifficulty must beex-
cluded from thediet. Rest andsleep arehighly important, asisexercise attheright time
andinkeeping with thestrength andendurance ofthesufferer.Fresh airandsunshine
and a peaceful, poised mental atmosphere help immensely.

seethedelicate interaction oforgans, nerves, tissues, cells andhormones. Disturbance of
onepartaffects thewhole system. Likewise, disturbance ofanyorganofthebody affects
thewhole organism. Thus, when there isanydisorder inoneorganofthereproductive
system youshould notconsider itasasingle disease entity.Itissimply onesymptom
indicating that your entire body


seers have written about thislofty state ofbeing forcen-
turies!
When youincrease your willpower,youincrease your self-confidence. Youstrength-
en yourself to your highest potential.
Don’ tjustbreak badhabits—cultivate good ones. Don’ tseeyour lifeasfullof“re-
strictions.” Seethatyouaregaining allyour power andenergy,allyour beauty andall
your strength. You’ll soon find thatabstinence iseasier than “moderation,” andthatit’s
easier togive something upthan toindulge init“just thisonce.” More energy issaved.
We should live with nature, not against it.
Ifwearetempted to“make exceptions,” wemust askourselves ifwewant tostart
thechain ofhabits again, giving reality anew toallthememories andobsessive compul-
sions attendant tothem. Wecan’tbeonboth sides ofthefence. Once wegive upahabit,
its memory and hold will fade with time.
When wetruly seethatwhat weeattoday walks andtalks tomorrow,wemay feel
thatweareoneofa“chosen few.”Once upon atime there lived aman who thought that
thesunwasthecenter ofoursolar system andeveryone knew hewascrazy.They knew
that the earth was the center, and it was flat!
Inhabit andthought youaredifferent from thecrowd, butfollow your instincts and
do what you know to be right.
90.4.3 Rule #3: Visualize the positive
Please read thesection onaffirmations, Lesson 16,page 381. Wemust beaware of
thesubtle messages wemay begiving oursubconscious minds. Sometimes wedon’tre-
alize we are expressing our positive hopes in a negative way:
We say:
I hope it won’ t rain
I hope we’re not late
Don’ t slam the door
We mean:I hope it’ s a nice day
I hope we’re on time
Close the door quietly
There isacertain power inthewritten andspoken mind, andthere isacertain power
intheway weformulate ourthoughts. People with astrong willtoliveandapositive
attitude live longer, other conditions being equal.
Smiling and laughing are healthy, both on the giving and on the receiving end.
When wewant toencourage thebody’ snatural healing process when fasting oroth-
erwise, weshould notvisualize theillness andthesymptoms, which areamanifestation
ofthehealing thatistaking place. Instead, thebody istobeimagined initshealthy state,
visualized inthepositive light, seen aswewant ittobe.Some people even speak ofvi-
sualizing healing white light surrounding thesensitive area, protecting it.Theidea isto
focus positive energyonthebody.This isvastly different from focusing negative energy
onit;when weworry about symptoms weliterally reinforce our“sick” state bylending
strength to it with our thoughts.

The keytorule #3isthepositive image ofourselves thatwekeep inourminds.
When weseethisimage, wewillseethatimproper,compulsive eating inthepast dis-
torted ourbodies andourminds andrevealed alack oflove forourselves, aswell as
anescapist lifestyle. Weexperience what webelieve, sowemust believe ourselves to
bedeserving, attractive, desirable, andlovable. Wemust create theimage ofourhighest
self. If we do, we will then become our highest selves.
Ifyoulook atanyone who is“successful,” youwillseetheir absolute faith intheir
ability tosucceed. Youmust have faith inyour inherent powers. Youarenotjusta“vic-
timoffate.” Remember thatwhat passes tothesubconscious mind canbetranslated into
action. Aswesaid, negative thoughts build upon themselves. Ifyouentertain thoughts
offailure andifyoudoubt your ability tosucceed, youwill generate negative energy.
Many of your anxieties become self-fulfilling. “As you thinketh, so shall ye be.”
Let’snotthink negatively.Instead, let’scultivate positive thoughts, andcreate acon-
stant flow ofpositive energy.Wedecide what mood will color ourthoughts. Itisbest
tochoose friends, books, movies andthoughts thatnourish ourminds andaspirations.
When welook atanyfood ordrink andcannot answer thesimple question “what good
willthisdo?” then weshould letgoatonce. Oldhabits andcrutches only stand inour
way ofourliberation. Soon thegood, positive lifestyle willbehabit, asstrong apractice
as the lifestyle it replaced.
90.4.4 Rule #4: Eat the optimum diet and live according to your natural mandate
Wehave discussed thedietoffresh, rawfruits, vegetables, nuts andseeds, andget-
ting plenty of exercise, fresh air and sunshine, in earlier lessons.
90.4.5 Rule #5: Remember the Simple Joys of Life
Notonly arethey free, they’re fun.Inapositive lifestyle wewillfind anabundance
ofjoy.Singing, dancing, music, artistic andcreative expression ofallkinds, garden-
ing—these arebutafewofthesimple joys oflife. When wesing anddance, wejoin
with the universe in its lar ger song, the eternal fountain of life.
90.4.6 Rule #6: Give of Yourself
Inatelevision documentary onthelifeofMother Teresa inIndia, itwas said that
shesent new volunteers towork inherhomes forthedying, where they received their
firstdose ofreality.One such volunteer came toher,amiddle aged man given uptodie
ofaheart condition byhisphysician. He’d apparently decided toputinsome service
tomankind before departing, butafter working more andmore with other people, and
forgetting himself, hisheart condition changed andhebecame well. (Weknow therole
ofdietinheart conditions, butsome literature hasalso linked heart problems topeople
obsessed with themselves and with time, both of which will add stress to their lives.)
Aperson who doesn’ tgive readily ofhimself suffersfrom asortofpoor sluggish
disposition too.Giving ofoneself issometimes harder than giving ofone’spossessions.
Either way,most people usually give tothepersons oftheir choice,who are“worthy” to
receive their generosity.Weshould give with thesame readiness tostrangers, since they
are the same as every living being.
Kahlil Gibran says of giving:
“It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Forwhat areyour possessions butthings youkeep andguard forfearyoumay need
them tomorrow?
And what is fear of need butneed itself?
Is not dr ead of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?There arethose who give little ofthemuch which they have—and they give itfor
recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
And there are those who have little and give it all.
These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their cof fer is never empty.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.
And is there aught you would withhold?
All you have shall some day be given;
Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours...
You often say, “I would give, but only to the deserving.“
Thetrees inyour orchard saynotso...they give thatthey may live, fortowithhold is
to perish.
Surely hewho isworthy toreceive hisdays andhisnights, isworthy ofallelsefrom
you.
And hewho hasdeserved todrink from theocean oflifedeserves tofillhiscupfrom
your little stream.
Forintruth itislifethatgives unto life—while you,


 valuable drought-resistant trees andshrubs (e.g. pis-
tachio, jojoba). Thewater leftintheunderground reservoirs should bereserved forpeo-pleandlivestock. Therefill rateofthereservoirs ismuch tooslow tosupport irrigation,
as shown by steadily-falling water tables in most exploited areas.
Themineral requirements tosupport thegrowth ofsoilorganisms (hence plants) are

ceofsalted soils must berestored byremineralization andbyallowing largequantities
ofplant refuse togoback into thetopsoil. The plant refuse would provide thecarbon
requirements ofthemicroor ganisms; thegases intheairandwater complete their food
requirements.
100.2.13 Drought
The Ethiopian drought isaforewarning ofwidespread regional water crises inthe
1990s that could rival theenergycrisis ofthelastdecade, according toastudy by
theworldwatch Institute. Falling water tables anddryriverbeds indicate awidespread
overuse ofwater resources, andifcurrent trends continue, fresh water inmany areas
may become aconstraint oneconomic activity andfood production over thecoming
decades. IntheUnited States, areas where excessive withdrawal ofunder gound water
supplies threatens itsfuture availability include theHigh Plains from Nebraska toTexas;
theColorado River basin, particularly theareas around Phoenix andTucson; theFlori-
daandPacific coasts; andmuch ofCalifornia. Thereport cites statistics from theU.S.
Geological Survey estimating thattheOgallala Aquifer,used forirrigating one-fifth of
U.S. cropland, isnow half-depleted under 2,200,000 acres ofTexas, New Mexico, and
Kansas. Rising pumping costs andfalling well yields associated with thedepletion ofthe
Ogallala arecausing farmers totake land outofirrigation. Still, most officials continue
totake a“frontier approach” thatlooks todams andother multibillion-dollar diversion
projects asasolution, failing toseetheunfortunate irony inthesituation. While thegov-
ernment pays farmers toidlerain-fed cropland inanefforttoavoid price-depressing sur-
pluses, farmers areexhausting aunique, under ground water reserve togrow these same
crops. Thegovernment isencouraging waste ofwater from theOgallala bygiving farm-
ersadepletion taxbreak based onthedrop inthewater level under their land. Instead,
says W orldwatch, the government should be taxing that water use.
Ifwecontinue toignore warning signs offuture water shortages, andclose oureyes
tothewaste andoveruse ofdecreasing water supplies, wewillpaydearly forourindif-
ference. Weneed notimagine what ourlives would belikewithout water—we need only
look atthesuffering people inAfrica toseethestark reality ofwhat extensive drought
cando.Television brought thestarving, emaciated bodies ofdrought victims into our
living rooms in1984, anditisapainful sight, butonethatwemust face upto.Thou-
sands of people have been reduced to skeletons as the drought takes its toll.
IntheAfrican country ofMauritania, notonly must they cope with thesevere
drought plaguing 6ther African countries aswell, butthey must also cope with the
spreading Sahara desert—one government official says theparched andrainless country
“could disappear from themap in10years, andbecome only sand.” TheSahara isliter-
allypushing southward; crews along akeyhighway passing through 690miles ofMau-
ritania wage adaily battle with thedesert, trying tokeep theroad clear ofwind-blown
sands. Crops aregone after being withered byadrought thathasaffected some areas
since 1969, andcovered bytheshifting dunes oftheSahara. Withtwo-thirds ofitsland
already swallowed upbythedesert, Mauritania now produces only about 5%ofthefood
itneeds. Cereal production used toaverage 100,000 tons annually,butwasestimated at
15,000 tons in1984. Thegovernment istrying to,drill holes forwater inthecountryside
toslow therush tothetowns. Vastherds ofcattle (about 80%) have died, orhave been
driven intoneighboring Senegal forgrazing (Senegal agreed toallow upto300,000 an-
imals tograze there), butnow Senegal isalso suffering from adrought. Although itde-fiesalllaws ofcommon sense tokeep cattle inareas sodrythateven human beings can
scarcely find enough toeat(and many don’t),these people areraising animals because
they’ve done soaslong asthey canremember; they don’tknow anyother lifestyle. (If
wearetempted topass judgment, let’slook atourown Society—we’ve certainly made
enough environmental errors ourselves, wasting resources forrapid gains thatresult in
long-term losses. Being more educated, what excuse would justify ourown lack offore-
sight?) Some Mauritanians have goats, anddonkeys are,ofcourse, anecessity forthose
who depend onthem forwork. Thenomadic way oflifehasbeen atradition formany
people here. Inthepast, during theworst times ofdrought, nomads moved tofarming
areas, then returned totheir oldway oflifewhen pasture became available. International
aidagencies now argue thatthere isnolonger sufficient grazing land orwater tosustain
anomadic life, andtheU.S. embassy’ s1984 economic report said there was noques-
tionthatMauritania’ scenturies-old nomadic way oflifehasbeen irreparably damaged.
Nevertheless, those who cansurvive asnomads stillcling tolifeandtrytocontinue on
asbest they can. Inallthese countries affected bythedrought, Africans struggle tosur-
vive with asevere shortage ofwater,limited resources, andlessopportunities foredu-
cation than wehave here. Their courage should bealesson toallofuswho have been
blessed with advantages thatwefartoooften take completely forgranted. Some ofus
panic atthemere thought ofmissing asingle meal, orconsider ourselves unfortunate
ifwecan’tafford anew outfit ofclothes. Some ofuswould even feelunderprivileged
ifwecouldn’ town ayacht. Asanation ofconsumers, wepride ourselves onour“high
standard ofliving”, andaredazzled byavision of“progress” thathasledmany ofus
tobecome obsessed with “success”, thissuccess being measured interms ofourwealth
andpossessions. Swept along inthetide, inundated bycommercials inthemedia urging
usto“buy more”, wetend toforget thatwhat weperceive asanormal way oflifehere
inthiscountry isvery rareinmost oftheworld. InLesson 53wementioned thatour
country uses more oftheworld’ snatural resources than anyother country; our“high”
standard of living is more expensive than we may care to admit.
Objectively speaking, wemay beaccused ofbeing selfish. How dowejustify this
useofnatural resources? Areweusing them tobetter thelives ofallourbrothers and
sisters around theworld, tomake theworld abetter place forallhuman beings tolive

 a certain thing, but only to see what will come through them and
manifest itself on paper. Those who truly use their talent are able to do so
only because they let it use them. The correct mental attitude is that
whatever is there will come through and need neither be started nor
stopped. Y ou do not have to know what is coming or what it will look like
but simply to have an open mind and let it through. Never even bother to
look at it closely, for if you do, you may think you know what it is, and by
that mental fixation you will make it static and it no longer will grow and be
flexible and creative. All that is great and good and lasting springs out of
the subconscious processes of the Secret Self, and when we are moved by
our greater mind we exhibit the talents that are ours.

God guard me from those thoughts men think
In the mind alone,
He that sings a lasting song
Thinks in a marrow bone.
— WILLIAM BUTLER YEA TS

Creative Labor

A thousand faces has the Secret Self, approached by a thousand doors, and
when one is opened and that face beheld, there bursts through the individual
a torrent of creativeness, a kind of supertalent. Partial is the human being,
barely aware, a surface manifestation of unlimited realms of subconscious
intelligence, but there is a path by which each of us may penetrate universal
mind, and when we do, we create our own talent, depicting for the world
some particular aspect of the Divine. No one is denied talent except by
themself. When they allow their consciousness to be hemmed in by the ego,they are unable to pull upon subconscious levels for the inspiration and
drive necessary to creative work.
Unique individuality is the vehicle which the Secret Self uses for the
manifestation of talent, and is lar gely being stultified by our modern
industrial society. Our education teaches conformity. The industrial machine
needs workers, and workers must be predictable, and predictability, as far as
society is concerned, is best obtained by inculcating the same social
conscience in each person. Consequently, most people live a routine that is
not of their own choosing but has been selected for them by society. Their
opinions also have been given to them by the group, and they accept them
as part of the condition of their lives. All thinking is done for them. They
believe in the political institution that they belong to, the labor union that
they belong to, the state, city, and community that they belong to. They are
unable to make an objective decision about anything they encounter but
react to everything as it af fects their preformed opinions. This egoistic basis
for judging things is completely false and completely static because it does
not allow the individual to grow. Truth in some final analysis may be
absolute, but for the individual it is an individual matter. What is good for
one is not necessarily good for all, but neither is the good of all necessarily
best for the individual.
As long as humans continue to live in groups, social conscience will
continue to have a distinct and necessary function, but such social
conscience must make provision for individual growth and responsibility,
for it now tends to defeat itself by making automatons of its adherents.
Large industrial firms are finding that the idea box in the plant pays
dividends. When workers are encouraged to think creatively about the
business in which they labor, their mental attitude toward that business is
changed. They not only become more ef ficient in their tasks, but sooner or
later contribute toward the growth of the business. No one is built to put
nuts on bolts all day. That is the task of a machine. But a person may endure
such a job if allowed to pursue means by which it may be done more
efficiently. Naturally the worker will not be disposed to such activity if they
feel that it may result in their being without a job at all, but only if they feel
that they will be rewarded with a better job or a better income.The basic problems in industrial advancement are delineated by the
opposing forces of labor and management. Or ganized labor has grown as a
protection to the worker from exploitation, but its psychological position
has become static. It is lar gely opposed to advances in technology that may
do away with job categories, and “featherbedding” in all industries has
achieved such proportion as to be a distinct burden on ef ficient operation.
The solution to ef fective industrial growth is not likely to be found in
organized labor, but rather in an enlightened management which makes its
labor force part of its creative ef fort, rewards each worker on an individual
basis, and allows participation of every member of the or ganization in the
fruits of that or ganization. When such industrial enlightenment finally is
achieved, there will be a unification of labor and management because their
aims will be the same, and each person will have a creative responsibility
toward their work.

Productivity

Creative talent demands production. The displacement of ego in favor of
the guidance of the Secret Self results in our being driven to accomplish
tasks that heretofore we would have considered impossible. No mountain is
too high, no wilderness too broad, and the creative soul attuned to the
Divine labors and produces unremittingly. Thomas Carlyle wrote, “Even in
the meanest sorts of labor the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind
of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work. Produce! W ere it but
the pitifullest, infinitesimal fraction of a product, produce it in God’ s
name.”
For the most part we are too inhibited and repressed to be able to express
the personality that is uniquely our own. The ego-controlled nature acts
always in accord with an idea of how people expect it to act. Since it does
not know itself, it does not know how it truly feels, but adopts feelings from
desire-goals rather than from the individuality innate to it. People who
endure all to make money are a classic example of repression andinhibition. They swindle their inferiors and fawn on their superiors, and by
this consequent warping of moral values so completely repress the Secret
Self that it is impossible for them to be creative or spontaneous in any area
of their activity. Making money is not an end in life. Pursuing the god
Mammon has only fatal results. But achievement is one of life’ s primary
aims, and achievement often results in monetary success. T o be what we
naturally are and to live and act as we naturally were created should be the
primary aim of each of us. W e have been put here on earth by a power
greater than we are; we have been manifested in our particular form so as to
reflect in humanity an image of the Divine. W e cannot reflect this image or
do the work natural to us if we become repressed by centering our
consciousness in our egoistic natures.
Spontaneity is the secr et of doing things well. W e act in accor d with our
whole natur e when we do things feelingly instead of thinkingly. Reason is
valuable too, but it serves a limited world and a limited knowledge. When
we act only accor ding to r eason, we act with the bar est facts in our
possession. But when we act instinctively and intuitively, we act as an
instrument of the Secr et Self, and behind our action lie all knowledge, all
intelligence, all power. When you ar e spontaneous in your actions and in
your thoughts, you ar e being yourself, and when you ar e being yourself, you
are a hundr ed times mor e effective, mor e joyful, mor e creative than you ar e
when you ar e ordering your life in accor dance with the aims of the surface
mind. The consciously contr olled and intentioned person is suppr essing
their talent, for they ar e suppr essing the action of the Divine within them.
No talent ever is exhibited by the conscious mind or ego, and someone
whose life is or dered by them never can be cr eative.

Get into the Game

Let yourself go. Shake of f inhibition and fear, and be yourself. Learn to
think and act naturally, spontaneously; harmony and symmetry will enter
your life, and you will discover your inherent talent. Most people never findtheir proper niches simply because they inhibit the talent they possess. It
takes courage to go out on a limb and do the things that are natural. It is
much easier to sit on the sidelines, watch somebody else perform, and
criticize. Monday morning quarterbacks are notorious in football, and in the
world of art it has long been axiomatic that the critic is a frustrated artist.
The American writer Fulton Oursler reported:

One winter ’s night, many years ago, when I was no mor e than twenty, I was
belaboring a typewriter in the newsr oom of the Baltimor e American. A copy
boy summoned me to the office of the managing editor, a bald-headed old
walrus with white mustaches like hanging gar dens and a perverse sense of
humor. Leaning back in his swivel chair he asked me:
“Do you play the piano?”
“No, sir.”
“Fiddle?”
“No, sir.”
“Sing?”
“No, sir.”
“Then go up to the L yric and cover the concert. Our music critic just
dropped


needs to do is expand. When the lease on the store next door comes up, he
takes it. He sits down with pencil and paper, and figures that if he’s got
twice as many tables, he’ll have twice as many customers, and he’ll make
twice the profit. So he starts changing everything. The partition between his
restaurant and the space next door has to be removed. The oilcloth
tablecloths are no longer accept able. If he wants to quicken the disaster he
puts up a sign: CLOSED FOR REMODELING. If he really wants to collapse his
business, that’s the way to accelerate it. See to it that all the habits of his
customers who come there on certain nights of the week are disrupted, andthey’re forced to find another Italian restaurant where they can eat on
Monday nights. I can assure you they will. Luigi has forced them out, and
they will be resentful.
They’ll come back once he’s reopened, just out of curiosity. But
strangely, it’s not the same anymore. Why? Because it was that very
ambience of crowdedness, the family informality, the unpretentiousness, a
place where people could roll up their sleeves and just be themselves, where
they didn’ t have to dress up or need a reservation. That was what drew them
there. The food at Luigi’ s Spaghetti Station was good, fast, and cheap.
To pay for this expansion, prices  had to be raised. Luigi borrowed a lot of
money. The interest payments alone would choke a horse. In fact, he’s
facing Chapter 11. So what happened to his old crowd? Well, they went
elsewhere, because the very thing that attracted them in the first place was
now gone.
There was just such a place in the town where I lived. All the townies
hung out at this wonderful Western restaurant for years. They had red
checkered tablecloths; it was super informal. Suddenly, it was closed for
remodeling. When it reopened, the red tablecloths were gone. Instead of a
friendly, relaxed  atmosphere, there was now the efficient briskne ss of a fast-
food restaurant chain. True, it was cleaned up a bit. True, from an objective,
aesthetic viewpoint, it had been improved. But the old crowd went
elsewhere, feeling that their value as customers had been decreased.
We see the same thing happen to that terrific little place the minute some
newspaper or magazine writes about it as a perfect travel hideaway. The
area’ s whole energy changes. The town where I lived went through such a
change. Years ago it was easygoing and casual. People could wear blue
jeans anywhere. Prices were low. Everyone trusted everyone. We cashed
checks without asking for a driver ’s license.
When I first moved there, a lady had advertised a Volkswagen in the
paper for $5,000. So I went over and asked her, “How’ s it run?” She said,
“Fine.” I asked, “Do you have any problems with it?” She said, “No.” I
took it for a test drive and said, “Okay, I’ll take it.”
She agreed to accept a personal, out-of-state check from a person she
didn’ t even know. Then she told me that she didn’ t have the certificate of
title because she was making payments on the car. The bank had the
certificate of title, which could be mailed to me. So she accepted an out-of-
state check from an unknown person for $5,000 and gave away herproperty. I accepted it without certificate of title, or even know ing if I had
the certainty of legal ownership. At that time, in that space, there was no
problem. There wasn’ t any question. That’ s how things were, because that’s
how people  were. It wasn’ t the things. It was the people.
Then a big article about this town appeared in the New York Times
financial section, proclaiming that real estate here was the second best
investment in the United State s. Within no time at all people came into
town with a totally different motivation, way, and style of being in the
world. They were looking to make a profit, to exploit, and to capitalize.
Now everyone has to show a driver ’s license. I’d never give someone
$5,000 without a certificate of title. No one would take an out-of-state
check from an unknown person. The integrity is gone. It went down the
tubes in the mode of seeking success as something “out there,” hoping that
it was profit. Profit then justifie d exploitation. No matter how much money
was shown on a transaction on that level, it only had the appearance of
success.
When the goodw ill is gone, success is gone. When the goodwil l is gone,
trust, faith, satisfaction, attitude, customer loyalty, and all that makes life
worthwhile go with it. It all goes down the tubes together. Now we have to
lock our doors in town. Now we have to take the key out of the ignition of
our cars. If we’re not coming from being a friend of life and a friend of
human nature, there’ s no guara ntee the world is going to be our friend
either.
So what should Luigi do if he wants to expand his enterprise? Instead of
expanding that which is already successful and thereby destroying all the
elements that were making it that way, he would do far better to merely
repeat the enterprise in another town or in another section of the city. He
could have Luig i’s East and Luigi’s West. But Luigi’ s West had better be
exactly the same as Luigi’ s East, otherwise all his customers are going to go
visit it once and never go back again.
One of the best demonstrations of this principle is what happened to a
very famous nightclub in the East Village in New York back in the late ’60s
and early ’70s. It was a pacesetter for the country. It was the first
multimedia disco, freestyle, strobe-light breakthrough in the entertainment
field. It was famous. People lined up outside while the avant -garde went
there—Andy Warhol and you name it. Obviously, it was not set up with a
lot of money. It was upstairs and used canvas for backdrops because theycouldn’ t afford anything else. Yet it was absolutely perfect the way it was.
The place was mobbed. It was the “in” place to go.
Then the inevitable happened. Either it changed hands or who knows
what, but the decision was made to improve it. And so it made that fatal
mistake: It was closed for remodeling, which seemed to take forever. If I
remember corre ctly, it was a number of months before it reopened. Sure
enough, the hand-painted canvas  had now become slick alabaster walls with
ultra-modernistic, curved surfaces. Everyone went back once to see what it
was like and never went back again. The curved, smooth, shiny, hard
surfaces totally changed the acoustics; the ambience was gone. The
qualities that had made it a winn er were now being exploited. Without even
knowing the details, everyone got that this was what happened. Nobody
went there anymore.
The principle here is when we’v e got a winner, we must stay with it and
not get greedy. Those who focus solely on profit margin often lose it. It
doesn’ t matter how successful they are—giant corporations file Chapter 11
every day.
Do these examples mean that we shouldn’ t improve? Of course  not. It is
a matter of knowing what  to improve. The thing to improve is what is
working so that it works even better. It means to ride the horse in the
direction it’s going. The fact that we’re good polo players doesn’ t make us
winning jockeys. Those are two different games. It’s okay to learn to be a
jockey, but let’ s not blow the polo playing in order to do it.
Look at all of the successful and incredible cars that Detroit produced
over the years. Where are they now? They have a design that made that
particular car top dog, so they decided to change the design—the very thing
that was winning for them. The 1946 Lincoln Continental, for example, was
elegant, sleek, clean, and stunning at the time. Look at the cars with the
same name that have come out over the years since then. They are not the
same.
The marketing motive behind the constant change in the design of cars is
so obvio us to everyone that it’s laughable. Making obsolescence part and
parcel of the design is one of the reasons for Detroit’ s constant struggle to
survive. Whatever we buy is going to become outdated within a year. They
think they’re making a profit by that strategy; actually, they’re taking a big
loss. If we knew that our cars were going to stay in style for years to come,
we would be willing to spend a lot for them. We’d be willing to spend a loton replacement parts. (I understa nd the profit on parts is higher than on new
autos.)
Look at the prices for which classic cars go. If that design is worth such
an astronomical price, then why doesn’ t Detroit turn out the classic designs?
Ask them. I’m sure their computers have reasons for what they do. So what

	in	The

Lancet	(London)	December	6,	1952	reported	one	of	the	typical	cases	of	this

survey.	This	woman	was	about	three	months	pregnant	when	she	was	vaccinated
	for	smallpox.	The	report	states:

"She	developed	a	severe	primary	reaction	and	three	months	later	she	was

spontaneously	delivered	of	a	feeble	hydropic	premature	infant	covered	with	a

very	severe	generalized	vaccinia.	The	child	died	18	hours	after	birth."

Many	of	the	new	strange	diseases	of	modern	times	can	be	traced	to	vaccination

or	medication	of	the	child	or	the	mother.

VACCINATION	DEATHS	NOT	REPORTED

Because	some	of	the	photographs	of	cases	shown	in	the	preceding	pages	have

been	collected	from	other	countries	as	well	as	United	States	and	some	of	the

deaths	occurred	a	number	of	years	ago,	some	may	wonder	if	vaccination	deaths

are	so	rare	that	these	must	be	used.	Although	photographs	are	not	often	made	of

vaccination	victims	there	are,	nevertheless,	an	unbelievable	number	of	such

cases	that	are	hushed	up	and	the	death	certificate	often	gives	some	other	cause.

The	medically	staffed	health	departments	rarely	make	inquiry	regarding	these

cases	and,	unfortunately,	there	are	very	few	courageous	and	public	spirited

people	or	organizations	who	are	willing	to	spend	the	time	and	money	to	make

such	an	investigation.	However,	just	to	show	how	much	can	be	uncovered	with	a

little	effort	I	am	presenting	a	partial	list	of	the	vaccination	deaths	that	were

traced	down	by	just	one	man,	V.	E.	Rowton,	in	just	one	year,	1921,	in	just	one

medium	sized	city,	Denver,	Colorado.	A	local	"Optional	Vaccination	League"

helped	to	find	other	cases.	Most	of	these	tragedies	were	reported	by	members	of

the	families	or	other	eyewitnesses	to	the	crimes.

VACCINATION	DEATHS	IN	COLORADO
(From	the	files	of	Mr.	V.	E.	Rowton)

"My	wife,	Ethel	Andrews,	was	in	good	health	until	she	was	vaccinated	by	Dr.

—,	about	November	1,	1922.	The	vaccination	started	"to	take"	in	three	days—
began	to	fester	and	the	arm	was	swollen.	About	the	9th	of	November,	she	broke

out	with	a	pronounced	skin	rash	all	over	her	body.	On	November	29,	she	became

seriously	ill.	Sores	appeared	in	place	of	the	rash	and	the	doctor	said	it	was

smallpox.	On	December	5th,	she	died."

"My	daughter,	Ruth	Yvonne,	six	years	old,	was	in	perfect	health	until	Saturday,

December	3,	1921,	when	we	were	advised	by	our	family	physician,	Dr.	C.	F.
	Henger,	to	have	her	vaccinated,	which	we	did...About	the	third	day	her	arm

began	to	hurt	but	she	continued	to	attend	school	until	Friday.	On	Saturday	she

complained	of	a	sore	throat.	She	became	sick	at	her	stomach	and	vomited.	Her

condition	grew	worse.	The	doctors	could	do	nothing	to	save	her	and	she	died	on

Tuesday	about	5:15	(1921)."

Mrs.	H.	P.	Kingsley,	of	the	Ellsworth	Hotel,	Denver,	gave	the	following

statement	about	her	son	John:

"He	was	in	perfect	health	when	I	took	him	to	school	on	Monday.	He	was	told	he

must	be	vaccinated	before	he	could	enter	school	so	I	had	him	vaccinated	on	the

following	Monday.	His	knee	started	hurting	soon	after	the	vaccination	but	he

went	to	school	the	next	morning.	That	was	the	last	day	he	was	ever	to	go	to

school	again.	The	pain	went	to	every	joint	in	his	body	and	he	suffered	intensely

for	three	weeks;	then	he	passed	away."

This	data	about	the	death	of	Mrs.	Alta	Vincent,	18	years	of	age,	was	given	by	her

husband,	Luther	Vincent,	(Denver.)

"About	November	13,	1922,	my	wife	submitted	to	vaccination	in	order	to	hold

her	position	with	the	telephone	company.	Up	to	the	time	of	the	vaccination	she

was	in	good	health.	On	December	8th,	she	became	quite	ill	with	enlarged

lymphatic	glands	under	her	arms.	On	the	10th	she	died."

"My	wife	was	vaccinated	by	Dr.	A.	W.	Calhoun	of	Denver,	on	October	27,	1922.

At	the	time	of	the	vaccination	she	was	not	in	very	good	health.	She	died	a	few

hours	after	the	vaccination	in	our	home.	The	doctor	pronounced	it	heart	failure."

(This	report	was	given	by	her	husband,	Mr.	Padgett)

Walter	Call	was	vaccinated	about	November	20,	1922.	He	was	able	to	work	for	a

week	after	being	vaccinated	although	he	was	ill	during	the	time.	He	died	on

December	8,	1922	with	black	smallpox.

Lafayette	Hunt	of	Denver,	Colorado,	was	vaccinated	November	6,	1922.	He

developed	smallpox	on	November	18th	and	died	of	it	November	28,	1922.

Hulda	Berg	of	Denver	was	vaccinated	for	smallpox	some	years	ago.	On	October

27,	1922,	she	became	ill	with	a	severe	headache	and	a	rash.	Dr.	Kesley	thought	it

was	measles.	The	health	officer	was	called	the	following	Sunday.	He	pronounced
	it	smallpox	and	she	was	taken	to	the	hospital	where	she	died	soon	after.

Ada	McDaniels	(Denver)	was	vaccinated	twice	shortly	before	she	was	stricken

with	smallpox.	She	died	on	November	25,	1922.

Mr.	Louis	Pleines	(Denver)	was	vaccinated	when	a	boy	and	again	six	weeks

before	he	came	down	with	smallpox,	He	died	of	smallpox	on	February	5,	1923.

Mrs.	E.	P.	Haddon	(Denver)	was	in	good	health	until	Sunday,	November	12,

1922,	when	she	was	vaccinated	by	her	family	physician,	and	nearly	collapsed	at

the	time.	The	next	day,	Monday,	she	was	ill.	She	was	worse	on	Tuesday	so	the

doctor	turned	the	case	over	to	the	health	officer.	She	was	quarantined	for

smallpox	on	Wednesday	and	died	the	following	Monday,	November	20th.

The	street	addresses	of	these	cases	are	on	file	but	have	been	omitted	for	obvious

reasons.

Mr.	and	Mrs.	Alvord	of	South	Cascade,	had	a	healthy,	robust	child.	It	was

vaccinated	by	Dr.	Peters.	About	9	days	later	it	began	to	have	convulsions.	The

doctor	was	called	and	treated	it.	He	said	he	was	especially	interested	because	it

was	a	vaccinated	case.	The	convulsions	occurred	after	the


 therapy has been shown to have disturbing side ef fects that
result in cardiovascular disease and neural dysfunctions such as strokes.
(Shumaker, et al, 2003; W assertheil-Smoller, et al, 2003; Anderson, et al,
2003; Cauley, et al, 2003)
Adverse drug ef fects, like those contributing to the HR T controversy,
are a primary reason why a leading cause of death is iatrogenic illness,
i.e., illness resulting from medical treatment. According to conservative
estimates published in the Journal of the American Medical Association,
iatrogenic illness is the third-leading cause of death in this country. More
than 120,000 people die from adverse ef fects of prescribed medications
each year. (Starfield 2000) However, last year a new study, based on the
results of a ten-year survey of government statistics, came up with even
more dismal figures. (Null, et al, 2003) That study concludes that
iatrogenic illness is actually the leading  cause of death in the United
States and that adverse reactions to prescription drugs are responsible for
more than 300,000 deaths a year.
These are dismaying statistics, especially for a healing profession that
has arrogantly dismissed three thousand years of ef fective Easternmedicine as unscientific, even though it is based on a deeper
understanding of the universe. For thousands of years, long before
W estern scientists discovered the laws of quantum physics, Asians have
honored ener gy as the principal factor contributing to health and
wellbeing. In Eastern medicine, the body is defined by an elaborate array
of ener gy pathways called meridians. In Chinese physiologic charts of
the human body, these ener gy networks resemble electronic wiring
diagrams. Using aids like acupuncture needles, Chinese physicians test
their patient’ s ener gy circuits in exactly the same manner that electrical
engineers “troubleshoot” a printed-circuit board, searching for electrical
“pathologies.”
P h y s i c i a n s :  T h e  P h a r m a c e u t i c a l  P a t s i e s
But as admiring as I am of the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine, I
do not want to bash W estern doctors who prescribe massive quantities of
drugs that contribute to the health profession’ s lethality. Medical doctors
are caught between an intellectual rock and a corporate hard place; they
are pawns in the huge medical industrial complex. Their healing abilities
are hobbled by an archaic medical education founded on a Newtonian,
matter -only universe. Unfortunately, that philosophy went out of vogue
seventy-five years ago, when physicists of ficially adopted quantum
mechanics and recognized that the universe is actually made out of
ener gy.
In their postgraduate years, those same doctors receive their
continuing education about pharmaceutical products from drug reps, the
errand boys of the corporate healthcare industry. Essentially, these
nonprofessionals, whose primary goal is to sell product, provide doctors
with “information” about the ef ficacy of new drugs. Drug companies
freely of fer this “education” so they can persuade doctors to “push” their
products. It is evident that the massive quantities of drugs prescribed in
this country violate the Hippocratic Oath taken by all doctors to “First do
no harm.” W e have been programmed by pharmaceutical corporations to
become a nation of prescription drug–popping junkies with tragic results.
W e need to step back and incorporate the discoveries of quantum physics
into biomedicine so that we can create a new, safer system of medicine
that is attuned to the laws of nature.P h y s i c s  a n d  M e d i c i n e :  A  D a y  L a t e  a n d  a  D o l l a r
S h o r t
The physical sciences have already embraced quantum physics with
sensational results. Humanity’ s wake-up call to the reality of a quantum
universe occurred on August 6, 1945. The atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima that day demonstrated the awesome power of applied
quantum theory and dramatically ushered in the Atomic Age. On a more
constructive note, quantum physics made possible the electronic miracles
that are the foundation of the Information Age. The application of
quantum mechanics was directly responsible for the development of
TVs, computers, CA T scans, lasers, rocket ships, and cell phones.
But what great and marvelous advances in biomedical sciences can we
attribute to the quantum revolution? Let’ s list them in order of their
importance:
It is a very short list—there haven’ t been any.
Though I stress the need to apply the principles of quantum mechanics
in bioscience, I’m not advocating that medicine throw out the valuable
lessons they have learned using the principles of Isaac Newton. The
newer laws of quantum mechanics do not negate the results of classical
physics. The planets are still moving in paths that were predicted by
Newton’ s mathematics. The dif ference between the two physics is that
quantum mechanics more specifically applies to molecular and atomic
realms while Newtonian laws apply to higher levels of or ganization,
such as or gan systems, people, or populations of people. The
manifestation of a disease, such as cancer, may show up at a macro level
when you can see and feel a tumor. However, the processes that
instigated the cancer were initiated at the molecular level within the
af fected progenitor cells. In fact, most biological dysfunctions (except
injuries due to physical trauma) start at the level of a cell’ s molecules
and ions. Hence the need for a biology that integrates both quantum and
Newtonian mechanics.
There have, thankfully, been some visionary biologists who have
advocated this integration. More than forty years ago the renowned
Nobel Prize–winning physiologist Albert Szent-Györ gyi published a
book called Intr oduction to a Submolecular Biology.  (Szent-Györ gyi1960) His text was a noble ef fort to educate the community of life
scientists about the importance of quantum physics in biological systems.
Unfortunately, his traditional peers, who considered the book to be the
ravings of a once brilliant but now senile old man, merely lamented the
“loss” of their former colleague. Biologists in the main have still not
recognized the importance of Szent-Györ gyi’ s book, but research
suggests that sooner or later they will have to because the weight of
scientific evidence is toppling the old materialist paradigm. Y ou recall
the movements of protein molecules that are the stuf f of life? Scientists
have tried to predict those movements using the principles of Newtonian
physics, to no avail. By now, I bet you can guess why: in 2000, an article
by V. Pophristic and L. Goodman in the journal Natur e  revealed that the
laws of quantum physics, not Newtonian laws, control a molecule’ s life-
generating movements. (Pophristic and Goodman 2001)
Reviewing this ground-breaking study for Natur e, biophysicist F.
W einhold concluded: “When will chemistry textbooks begin to serve as
aids, rather than barriers, to this enriched quantum-mechanic perspective
on how molecular turnstiles work?” He further emphasized: “What are
the forces that control the twisting and folding of molecules into
complex shapes? Don’ t look for the answers in your or ganic chemistry
textbook.” (W einhold 2001) Y et or ganic chemistry provides the
mechanistic foundation for biomedicine; and as W einhold notes, that
branch of science is so far out of date that its textbooks have yet to
recognize quantum mechanics. Conventional medical researchers have
no understanding of the molecular mechanisms that truly provide for life.
Hundreds upon hundreds of other scientific studies over the last fifty
years have consistently revealed that “invisible forces” of the
electromagnetic spectrum profoundly impact every facet of biological
regulation. These ener gies include microwaves, radio frequencies, the
visible light spectrum, extremely low frequencies, acoustic frequencies,
and even a newly recognized form of force known as scalar ener gy.
Specific frequencies and patterns of electromagnetic radiation regulate
DNA, RNA, and protein syntheses; alter protein shape and function; and
control gene regulation, cell division, cell dif ferentiation, morphogenesis
(the process by which cells assemble into or gans and tissues), hormone
secretion, and nerve growth and function. Each one of these cellular
activities is a fundamental behavior that contributes to the unfolding oflife. Though these research studies have been published in some of the
most respected mainstream biomedical journals, their revolutionary
findings have not been incorporated into the medical school curriculum.
(Libof f 2004; Goodman and Blank 2002; Sivitz 2000; Jin, et al, 2000;
Blackman, et al, 1993; Rosen 1992, Blank 1992; T song 1989; Y en-
Patton, et al, 1988)
An important study forty years ago by Oxford University biophysicist
C. W. F. McClare calculated and compared the ef ficiency of information
transfer between ener gy signals and chemical signals in biological
systems. His research, “Resonance in Bioener getics,” published in the
Annals of the


 even crucial to
be absolutely clear about the pains and detailed disadvantages 27
of not changing and the beneficial pleasures and advantages
of making a decision to transform for the better.
Neuro-linguistic-programming (NLP) and many other
personal development modalities also emphasize this point.
Get as much leverage as you can by projecting yourself
in the future and imagining and exaggerating how you could
end up if you don’t change; and how you would be if you took
back control of your thoughts and emotions and categorically
decided to select only the empowering ones no matter what!
One of the famous personal development trainers who
influenced me over thirty years ago was Anthony Robbins.
He spoke, among other interesting things about pattern
interrupts. A pattern interrupt does exactly what it says.
It interrupts the negative energy before it leads you to more
negativity and density and before the egoic mind has the time
to take full control of your consciousness. You can have fun
with these so-called pattern interrupts besides the fact that
they weaken the old physical neural pathways in your brain
and give you the space to condition new more empowering
and mature ones which lead to successful habits of behavior.
Before we take a look at some examples of pattern
interrupts, make sure to make the unequivocal decision to
be more aware of the beliefs, thoughts and emotions to be
transformed and to get motivated.28If you have any difficulties in imagining the positive
and negative scenarios of the future, picture yourself in your
mind’s eye, pretend and ask yourself:
What would I look like then? What would I be saying to
myself and others? How would I feel if I abandoned myself
to the mercy of random distorted thoughts and emotions?
Alternatively, ask yourself the same questions about what
it would be like, what you would be saying and how it
would feel to be in control. You may use Anthony Robbin’s
checklist of possible, visual, auditory and kinesthetic (V.A.K)
submodalities below to experiment with and discover what
clicks and resonates the most with you while you are imagining
these scenarios. Feel free of course to add any other senses
like tastes and smells and allow your intuition to run wild.
Play the game and pretend until you feel excitedly
motivated and then make a decision to take back control of
your life!29

Whenever a nagging thought or emotion is troubling you
and you cannot seem to let it pass on by like a floating cloud
and observe it or have difficulty in finding and focusing on
its full potential substitute, use a powerful pattern interrupt to
interrupt its energy as rapidly and as frequently as possible.
You could also intensify the emotion for as long as you need
to for it to simmer down a bit if you are in an acceptable and
safe place to do so. As the saying goes: It’s not about feeling
good, it’s about getting good at feeling! (the emotion). Feeling
the emotion and/or intensifying it will eventually help you
digest, integrate and process it.
Make up your own pattern interrupts using visual, auditory
and kinesthetic submodalities which resonate with you or just
play around and try these:
1. Powerfully say: “STOP! Not going there!” Out loud or
scream it to yourself internally while extending your
hand out abruptly like a policeman would do.
2. Yell out “YEEEEHA” while tilting your head upwards
towards the ceiling or sky.
3. Cluck like a chicken, imitate something Donald Duck 33
would say and do or any other animated cartoon
character or politician for that matter.
4. Rapidly clap your hands like a hysterical person with a
stupid grin on your face.
5. Imagine yourself flushing it all down with the powerful
suction noise of an airplane toilet.
6. Subtly pinch your hand, arm or leg while singing inter -
nally “Halleluiah”
7. Repeatedly say to yourself: “I like myself” and imagine
yourself as a very likable person.
8. Repeatedly say to yourself: “I am responsible for my
emotions” and imagine yourself being cool-headed,
accepting and peaceful.
For the more spiritually inclined:
9. Imagine sending it vertically to a higher power to take
care of it or into a purifying and transforming fire.
10. Imagine breathing in through the crown chakra, a
magnetic, purifying and cleansing light which attaches
to the excess emotion and then send it all the way down
through the first chakra and into mother earth to take
care of it.34Simply deciding to let go of a disempowering pattern and
actually allowing it to let go, could also be used as a pattern
interrupt.
If you are ready to let it go, then more power to you!
If not, ask yourself: If not now, when? Keep doing that
until you are ready to do so and release what no longer
serves you.
Pattern interrupts are useful, practical and effective
if you don’t have the time to observe and understand the
emotion’s message. If needed, repeat it several times until
the emotion subsides and you can focus on something else.
Another pattern interrupt option would be to simply focus
on your breath coming in and out of your mouth or nostrils
and at the same time, to feel or sense the vibrations of
your body (your energy field or aliveness of your body).
However, I urge you to eventually find out what the
emotion is telling you it needs and to use that to take
appropriate action or change your perception by
potentiating it into its more mature substitute feeling.
And by the way, if you don’t somehow integrate it by
preferably finding its full potential   and “grown-up” substitute,
the chances are that it will come back to haunt you again
and again until you help it grow up because as you probably
already know, “what you resist will persist.”35
So as best you can, don’t allow the negative thought to
lead you anywhere to start with by substituting it with a more
conscious thought; and if it does, or if an immature emotion
arises despite that, use a pattern interrupt and if time allows,
just observe it with curiosity like a parent would observe a
child having an incomprehensible fit before trying to reason
with him or her and finding a solution or a positive substitute
(to be explained next). I am not saying that emotions do not
have a place in our lives, but rather that it would be best not
to re
