90.4.6.1 Living in Excess of One’s Needs
Wealth—who hasn’ twondered what they’d dowith amillion dollars? Inoursearch
for“security” weshould stop andreflect amoment. The easier itbecomes forus,the
more we should look to see what we can do for others.
Even when wefeelthepinch financially,there’ salways room tostretch,andthere’ s
always someone with less.
Anyone living inexcess oftheir basic needs isbeing self-indulgent ifs/hedoesn’ t

Some ofthemost generous people Imettravelling inforeign countries were people
who had almost nothing.

90.4.8 Rule #7—Relax
Ifyouwant tokeep pace with aworld thatismoving faster than ever,thebest thing
todoisrelax. Theyounger generation isinstinctively more open-minded andactive be-
cause ithastokeep upwith constant change andexpansion. Weshould beasfluid, tol-
erant andeasy-going aspossible atalltimes, andletgoofourattachments. Wedon’t
hold ourbreath ifwewant tolive, andmust letgoofonebreath andflow intothenext
one. Weshould bethisfluid inourdeeper selves. Wedon’twant ourphysical body or
ourminds toberigid, contained ortiedtooneidea, rather they should beaschanging,
evolving and ongoing as life itself.
Negative emotions areonly useful insofar asthey cantrigger usintopositive action.
Abrief moment ofanxiety makes usalert tosomething thatneeds attention. Adrenalin
stimulates thebody toaction. Ornegative emotions may serve asarelease ofpent-up
feelings, acleansing. Whatever their purpose, whenever they linger onandstretch in-
tominutes andhours, webegin todrain ourenergyandenervate thebody needlessly.Theanxiety (orwhatever) alone, without action, isfutile once itsinitial purpose, thatof
“warning,” is fulfilled.
Aslong asweignore stress, wearenotinastate ofmental well-being. Constant pres-
sure injures usbyinterrupting thenatural flow onaphysical andmental level. Ourbrain
becomes distracted andenervated. The autonomic nervous system gets outofcontrol.

Ifonly doing nothing were thateasy.Some people areafraid thatitmeans they’re
apathetic orlazy.They’ve forgotten thatonecancreatively do“nothing.” Clearing the
mind space andletting theuniverse inside foramoment canhardlybecalled nothing!
People should remember to relax simply.
The simple repetition ofasound canrelax thebody andthemind. Inmeditation,
breathing slows. Heart ratediminishes. The sensation iscalming andrelaxing. Relax-
ation response istheresult. Weknow thatwemust change togood dietary habits for
health, butitisworth noting thatmeditation hasbeen seen toeffectchanges onthephys-
icallevel aswell asthemental level. Studies have shown thatitdiminishes irregular
cardiac contraction, particularly ventricular tachyarrhythmias, andthatitcanreduce the
number andintensity ofanxiety attacks. Insomnia, tension andmigraine headaches, and
certain other kinds ofpain may bereduced. Meditation helps lower blood pressure in
hypertensive people, andhashelped drug, alcohol andcigarette abusers too.Ithasbeen
effective intreating speech problems such asstuttering. One study showed asignificant
reduction inserum cholesterol levels after eleven months ofdaily meditation. Yogis and
serious meditators canlearn tocontrol their pulse, brain waves, blood pressure, heart
rate, skin conductance, muscle tension, peripheral circulation andrespiratory pattern and
rate.
Mypurpose inmentioning thisiscertainly nottosuggest thatmeditation should bea

Meditation is a wonderful tool to employ in realizing self-knowledge.
Choose aquiet place where youwillnotbedisturbed andgetcomfortable sitting or

Pure diet, fresh air,sunshine, warm baths, swimming, dancing, hiking, camping, gar-
dening, exercise, laughter (and crying) andhumor areallpossible ways ofdealing with
stress. Mild massage canhelp. Care should betaken toavoid rigorous massage with ex-
tremes ofvigorous thumping, molding andprobing. This may result inover-stimulation,
enervation andpossible harm. Inmild massage, touch andthehuman factor areatwork.

90.4.9 Rule #8—Take your time

over “normal” levels willincrease 50% inthenext decade. Many jungles arenow living

Volkswagen Foundation hasabout 300,000 acres offormer virginforest land in
Brazil, thatisnow used foranexpanding cattle export operation involving defor estation
atanaverage 13,000 acres peryear (Grainger,1980). Weyerhauser Corporation has
6,000 square kilometers oftimber concession inthefragile rain forests ofIndonesia
(Myers, 1979).
Ifthejungles arenotsaved, John Hamaker says wehave nochance atsurvival, and
thatthey cannot besaved unless croplands ofstarving people areremineralized.Rain
forests have been virtually eliminated from most parts ofWestAfrica, Southern Asia,
andtheCaribbean. Theworld’ sforests arealso affected byclimatic extremes, soilde-
generation, insects, diseases, worsening climate, airpollution andacid rains—fires also
ravage ourforests, especially indryseasons andtimes ofdrought. Asmore forests burn,
acycle ofdestruction actually takes place, because forest fires contribute toadverse con-
ditions that, inturn, accelerate thedestruction ofmoreforests. Inforest fires, notonly
are more precious trees lost, but destruction occurs on all these levels:
•climatic stress (including record heat and drought)
•when trees burn, carbon dioxide increases intheatmosphere, sopollution—and acid
rain—are increased (they’re already caused byburning fossil fuels andbyauto/ vehicle
andindustrial exhausts/emissions)
•deforestation and spreading deserts
•chronic insect and/or disease epidemics
Data ontropical forest fires isscarce, butitisreported thatthenutrient-poor soils
andhighly-carbonaceous (mineral-poor) vegetation there burns quickly when moisture
iswithheld foratime. Wide-scale drought andacid rains notonly lead todestruction of
forests; they canalsolead tomore tropical forest fires. Atpresent rates ofhuman defor-
estation anddesertification, most researchers saythese forests arescheduled forvirtual
extinction in 15-30 years.

“WarTechnology Comes totheForests”, byJ.A.Savage, wasprinted inFriends of
theEarth’ sNotMan Apart (December 1980), anddescribed how theU.S. Forest Ser-
vice isadapting technologies used inVietnam to“modern” silviculture. Inaddition to
thearborcide Agent Orange, flame-throwers andbombs ofnapalm-like jelly areused toachieve a“clean burn” ofallthe“debris” leftafter clearcutting. Withthese methods, no
“slash” (from theslash-and-burn technique) isleft, only “charred dirt”. Iassume their
“clean” overlooks thedamage totheenvironment andtoxicity ofthechemicals involved.
In1984, nationwide publicity ofVietnam veterans who hadbeen exposed toAgent Or-
ange revealed itseffects invictims andtheir children; Ihope theU.S. Forest Service
isn’t making more victims.
American Forests(March 1969) said thatinafewyears allvarieties oftrees were
dying inatract offorest intheAdirondack Mountains, except forhemlock andtama-
rack. Insects thatattacked thetrees multiplied greatly inthesame span oftime. Thesame
thing thathappened tothisforest land ishappening inalloftheforests andjungles. The
lastoftheminerals have come upintheforest lands, asinthecroplands. Over thelast
30to60years, thefiner fraction ofused rock hasbeen turned intosubsoil, greatly reduc-
ingthesurface area, andtherefore, protoplasm production. Because these compounds
build health, andresistance todisease andinsects, thetrees become easy prey topara-
sites. Acid rain(heavy inthenortheastern states) haswiped outthelastofthecarbonates,
resulting inexcessive acidification ofthesoil. Thelakes ofthatregion have also been
acidified. When acidity ofwater andsoildrops below about pH5.5,itbegins tokilloff
various kinds ofmicroor ganisms. Only afewacid-tolerant organisms cansurvive, and
only afewacid-tolerant trees andplants cansurvive onthepoor quality andquantity
ofprotoplasm which thesoilprovides. Noamount ofpesticides canstop thisdying ina
forest—only immediate aerial remineralization can save what’ s left of it.
InSeptember 1961, W.Schwenke presented apaper on“Forest Fertilization andIn-
sectBuildup”. Thepaper described work done intheprevious nine years attheInstitute
ofApplied Zoology attheForest Research Center,Munich, Germany.The work was
based ontheobservation thatforest parasites hadgreater population density onpoor for-
estsoilthan onmore fertile forest soil, andontheobservation thatforest soils canbeim-
proved byfertilization. They used 1/2to11/2tons peracre oflimestone plus alight ap-
plication ofNPK. This minimal soilremineralization cutparasite population from 30to
50%. Onsome oftheoilstheeffectwasstillobservable nine years after theapplication.
Theincrease ingrowth rateproduced avalue hatfarexceeded thecost offertilizing the
soil. Limestone probably hasabroader range ofelements tosupport living organisms.
This wasshown bytheobserved factthatthelasting effectofthefertilization depended
on the minerals that were in the soil befor efertilization.
Severe deterioration oftreefoliage anddeclining treegrowth arealsobeing observed
throughout theOhio Valley (AP news, April 16,1984). The damage isaresult ofair
pollution more acidic than theacid rainbelieved tobedestroying freshwater lifeinthe
Northeast, according toascientist who studies thevalley trees. Dr.Orie Loucks saidthe
decline canbest beexplained bythecumulative impact ofover 20years ofstressfrom
acombination ofairpollutants.One important pollutant was thesulfate emitted from
power plant andfactory smokestacks. Theacidity ofthesulfate particles exceeds thatof
battery acid, hesaid. Themajor difference between theairquality oftheOhio Valley and
thatintheNortheast, hesaid, isthatthesulfate content oftheairissignificantly higher in
theOhio Valley region (which includes Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, WestVirginia, and
Kentucky). Forsome years forest deterioration hasbeen reported inparts oftheNorth-
eastandother areas oftheworld—now Loucks hasfound thattreedamage may beeven
more severe intheOhio Valley,where there isaheavy concentration ofcoal-burning
power plants thatlack devices toclean emissions. Theregion isalso believed tobehe
source of much of the acid rain now falling over the Northeast and Canada.
States intheOhio Valley have been resisting legislation aimed atcurbing acid rain
through programs requiring modifications ofpower plant smokestacks, because such
measures would mean higher costs forpublic utilities—but it’snow obvious thatthecost
tolifeisfargreater inthelong run.InAugust 1984, New Yorkbecame thefirst state to
pass alawtocurb acid rain, with legislation designed toreduce smokestack emissions
30% inthenext decade. State environmental officials said thecost oftheprogram, in-cluding pollution control devices, would addfrom $2.40 to$4.80 tothemonthly utility

 dead. Y ou’ve got the job.”

If hindsight were foresight, we’d all be kings. It takes little imagination and
absolutely no enterprise to recognize the errors of people who have the
courage to try when the outcome is in doubt. Creative talent carries with it
an element of deepest personal risk. Before we can become a fit vehicle, we
must figuratively hang ourselves from a clif f by our fingertips, suspend
ourselves between life and death. In this psychological position ofawareness of the basic elements of life, we no longer are confused about the
purposes of the Secret Self and are able to pierce quickly the sham and
subterfuge of egoistic action and thought and act always as an instrument of
the Divine. A deep indif ference to the opinions of others existing side by
side with recognition of a common spiritual bond brings to us our true and
unique personality, allowing our whole lives to be an expression of that
particular facet of the Supreme that is best able to manifest through us.
Thus we discover our talent. It may be in the arts, the sciences, business,
war, or politics; but wherever we find our niche, we will fit into it as a hand
in a skintight glove, as if we and it were made for each other, and we will
perform our work in such a manner as to be completely indistinguishable
from it.

Tempering by Fir e

All creative people must under go a tempering process during which they
are subjected to fire and after which their toughness is increased. Life is not
such a gentle thing as to be approached with dainty fingers. Look about and
you will see that nature chooses her blessed ones by subjecting them to the
most severe tests. Out of the crucible of conflict emer ge the lionhearted, and
they are the ones who carry the banner of evolution onward. Those who
subject themselves to the sternest of trials are in the end the best
instruments for ef fectuation of the purposes of the Secret Self. It is they
through whom mighty works are done, upon whom great events hinge. The
exercised muscle grows stronger, the exercised mind grows smarter; the
exercised heart grows bolder; but nothing destroys as quickly as disuse.
Repression and inhibition do more toward girdling us around with
limitation than any obstacles we face.
If a thing were as easy to do as to say all of us would be saints. Exorcising
fear, anxiety, and hostility from the consciousness is not a simple matter and
is nearly impossible as long as the ego rules the nature. In order for the
individual life to be natural, it is necessary that it be lived as an extension ofthe Divine. Reason must be subordinated as primary principle. Emotion
must be subordinated as guiding force. Action and thought must develop
spontaneously and ef fortlessly, as a result of the consciousness being placed
in the position of observation rather than origination.
The development of talent depends upon spiritual awakening. Unawakened
people are born with talent, but if they remain unawakened during their
lifetime, they are eaten up by the force that possesses them because they are
unable to express it and the opposing sides of their nature are constantly at
war with each other.

Do What Y ou Ar e

Dale belonged to the United States Marine Corps during W orld W ar II and
fought through five campaigns with extreme bravery. Prior to his enlistment
he had gone to art school, and his early works in oil showed much promise.
The danger and disaster he faced in the marines, however, altered his
attitude, and once he was dischar ged he made up his mind that he wanted
material possessions. He set about acquiring them, took a job in an
advertising agency as a layout man, gradually advanced to art director,
received a salary that enabled him to live in comfort. He was far from
happy, however. Easel and paints were for gotten, and nightly journeys to
cocktail bars took on such dimension that he seldom went to bed without
being drunk. Before long, he was drinking during the day also, and it
became obvious to his intimates that he was harboring a deep core of
resentment.
When this resentment finally manifested in an arthritic attack, Dale was
sent to bed by his doctor, and there had time to think. One day an old friend
from his art school days, now pursuing a career as a painter, came to him
and they talked. His friend looked at the sumptuous apartment.
“You must be making it pretty good,” he said.“Sure thing,” answered Dale. “T wenty thousand a year and all the
trimmings. Practically anything I want. How about you?”
His friend smiled. “I’m lucky if I do three thousand a year, and you could
put my little studio in one corner of this apartment.”
“Then why not give it up?” asked Dale. “Come into the ad agency. I’ll start
you at ten thousand.”
Dale’ s friend shook his head. “No, thanks,” he said. “I’m happy the way I
am.”
“You are?” asked Dale.
“Yes.”
“Really happy, eh?”
“You bet. Aren’ t you?”
“I couldn’ t be more miserable.”
“Then it strikes me that you’re the one who ought to change. There isn’ t
enough money in the world to lock me into an unhappy job. Y ou’re not
painting, are you? I don’ t see an easel or a canvas in the whole apartment.”
“I’ve given it up,” answered Dale.
“So you’ve given it up and you’re flat on your back and you’ve got lots of
money and you’re unhappy. I’ll tell you something. There’ s a studio right
next to mine, and the rent is thirty dollars a month. Y ou give up your job
and move in there and begin to paint again. Unless I miss my guess that’ s
the cure for what ails you.”
After his friend left, Dale thought it over. That evening he obtained brushes
and oils and started to paint. By the end of a week he was deeply engrossed,
and his arthritic pains had gone. He moved out of his apartment and into the
studio and has been painting ever since. He smiles cheerfully now in his
paint-stained smock.“I made twenty-five hundred dollars last year,” he says, “which is big
money for a painter, but it barely kept the wolf away from the door. Still, I
couldn’ t care less about that wolf. All I want to do is paint. When I paint, I
am completely happy, because I’m doing something that is part of me.”

Creativeness and Competitiveness

Somerset Maugham wrote, “The artist can, within certain limits, make what
he likes of his life. In other callings, in medicine, for instance, or the law,
you are free to choose whether you will adopt them or not, but having
chosen you are free no longer. You are bound by the rules of your
profession; a standard of conduct is imposed upon you. The pattern is
predetermined. It is only the artist who can make his own.”
When you turn your life over to the Secret Self the channel in you best
adapted for expression of the Divine is cleared and developed, and a unique
talent is exposed. A direction of growth is opened, within which you are
perfectly free. It has little to do with your position in society or your
membership in social groups. Y our mind and talent develop independently
of material associations because you have turned them over to the Secret
Self to use as they are best fitted. Each of us most satisfies himself as a
person and fulfills himself as a member of society when he lives the life of
an artist, not necessarily that of a painter or writer but an artist in the sense
that his attitude toward all things is creative rather than competitive.
The world of competition is the world of egoistic desire, for competition
seeks ascendancy over others. People whose ruling passion is to prove
themselves better usually look upon the world with hostile eyes and regard
everyone else as an enemy. Such limited perception of the nature and
purpose of life clearly destroys more often than it blesses, for victory
always is temporary, and defeat awaits all whose lives revolve around
superiority. The ego is born, blooms, withers, and dies, just as the material
body, and the individual whose aspirations center around it must follow acycle that leads to eventual defeat and disintegration. Oh, the noonday of
the ego is fine. Someone in possession of their full powers may stand upon
their individual mountain and beat their chest and defy the world, but noon
quickly passes and the day of their life wanes, and noontime becomes a
very dim memory as the shadows lengthen.
In order to participate freely and fully in all things, we must adopt the wider
vision that perceives the majestic onward march of evolution as basic in our
attitude toward life. W e may appear to be competitive through participating
in competitive things, but we do not compete through egoistic desire to be
better or superior, only as a result of having opened ourselves as a vehicle
for the manifestation of the Secret Self. W e are used in all things and are
never the user, and because we see our basic unity with all people, we are
able to enter competition without hostility, neither for gain nor loss. W e are
able to regard with equal-mindedness


 out of its slump? The personage of Lee Iacocca did. Was it
his knowledge of marketing, or his knowledge of mechan ics, or his
knowledge of investment? What made the difference? The whole public
knew that Chrysler was a different company with Iacocca at the head in the
1980s. Like Eddie Basha of Bashas’  supermarkets, there was a different
man in charge. The whole corporation turned around for the better.
Whatever Iacocca did was a consequence of who he was; the manifestation
of who he was. As we said before, power is in the presence. Power is in
charisma. Power is in just being  a certain way.
Besides overambitiousness, unwise expansion, and greed, the next tripper
with success is pride. Blowing it happens when our excellenc e begins to
manifest itself in a response from the world and we let this go to our heads.
What was solicitude for our customers’  convenience and pleasure now
becomes indifference. We can’t be bothered anymore because of that sense
of importance.
That is the great collapse of wonderful careers. It happens to celebrities
in the entertain ment field so visibly. The drugs, the alcoh ol, and the
eventual overdoses are merely the symptoms of what has already happened
—they couldn’ t handle it. The guarantee of success is the inner knowing
that it was the consequence of your awareness of some inner truth of human
nature that doesn’ t belong to you as an individual. It gives you the humility
you need  to withstand the assaults of success. A real test it is... one of the
biggest tests in the world. Don’ t let your ego spoil and exploi t that which
was the very source of your charm.
Gratitude is one of the best defenses. If you’ve discovered your gift and
now it is bringing home the bacon, then be grateful for it. Be thankful and
seek to share the success with others rather than to show it of f pridefully.In the world of super successful people, an expensive car doesn’ t mean
anything, as they all can afford an expensive car. In the world of “would be”
successful peopl e, however, the expensive car is a must. It’s like they still
feel called upon to prove it. Real success brings such an inner state that they
don’t need to prove anything to anybody. They don’t need to impress
anyone. If others are impressed, that’s nice; certainly the applause of the
crowd is a legitimate pleasure and it frequently ener gizes them.
By not realizing that it was dealing with human nature rather than
customers’  cash, Coca-Cola pulled the great “new Coke” blooper, which
was when they changed their original formula and thus made  one of the
most impressive gaf fes in business history.
The company was one of the most beloved success stories in modern
times—all in America knew about it—and their image became incredibly
tarnished. They really blew it. The comfortable, secure, home-life image of
Coca-Cola as part of the Americ an way of life was suddenly sent reeling by
corporate decisions and the disregard for human nature and human
relations. Whatever the compute rs told the executives about the move they
made, we have to remember that computers don’t have feelings. Computers
don’t have human nature. They just deal in numbers.
We all know that Coca-Cola had to back up, try to recoup its losses, and
make whatever attempts it could to regain its steadfast image and public
loyalty. But we were all indignant because something within our humanness
had been  violate d. It wasn’ t the quality, or the availability, or the price of
the product; we were indignan t because we felt we’d been manipulated,
exploited, and played. The company meddled with something that should
not have been meddled with. Our dignity as human being s had been
violated. Some things are priceless, and people won’ t forgive those who
violate them. Their trust and confidence are some of those things.
What did Coca-Cola do about that problem? To the company’ s credit,
their executives  listened and responded to the public outcry. After only a
few months, Coca-Cola returned its original formula to store shelves. That
announcement resulted in network newscasts and front-page coverage of
the story in virtually every newspaper in the country. More than 30,000
calls poured into the company  applauding that decision. The Coca-Cola
brand soared to new heights, and customers continued to remem ber the love
they had for it. Trust was restored.We really can’t fool the public with lip service. When we blow it, one
way to recapture what we had going for us is through absolute honesty. The
reestablishment of our integrity and credibility is accomplished  by openly
admitting a mistake when we make one. As a result of that, we demonstrate
to the world a genuine change of heart. The world will for give us.
Everyone’ s made mistakes. Mistakes are not the cause of failure—they
are merely springboards defining what was out of alignment, correcting it,
and coming through it at a higher level. We come out either a loser or a
champion, depending on how we handled the mistake. The purpose of
sharing a mistake has to be genuine. It cannot be done to manipulate others
into sympathy or pity, or to dump guilt. Rather, it must be done to genuinely
share what we have learned so that others can learn from our experiences.
They will be grateful to us for it, and we will have reestablished  our stature
in their eyes.
On the sports field, in the celebrity arena, or in any area of human
endeavor, every one applauds and stands behind the one who is making a
comeback or at least giving it a try. They’ve already won 50 percent of the
game simply by exhibiting their willingness to do so. Anybody who is
willing to take another shot at it earns the world’ s respect, because they
know the gamble involved. They know what it takes to do that. There’ s no
reward in being a hangdog; that’s just self-indulgence. People will
cooperate and feel sorry for such a person, but they won’ t give their respect.
Can we make a successful comeback if we’ve really blown it? Of course
we can. There are a lot of successful businesspeople who have  earned and
lost multiple fortunes in their lifetimes. We all have different learning
styles. Some people only find out where the manholes are by falling into
them. That’s their style of learning things, and there’ s nothing wrong with
it. At least when  they get it that way, they get it permanently. The likelihood
of going down that wrong alley again is unlikely.
The value of a big blooper is that we’re finished with that one for this
lifetime. From the examples in this chapter, it’s clear that power comes
from goodwill, and goodwill is associated with an image. If we blow the
goodwill, we blow the image, and true success goes down the tubes.
In successfully maneuvering around the world, I’ve always put great
value on credit rating rather than on cash or capital. Cash or capital comes
and goes; a credit rating is forever. If we have good credit, all we have to do
is write a check on one of our override accounts and we can get out of anyjam and buy ourselves some time. And with that time there are 12 ways to
deal with it. In the meantime, the interest is tax-deductible and, frankly, no
one can corner us. If we have enough credit lines, we only end up paying
tax-deductible interest. Naturally, we reach our max with this style of
expansion when our cash flow can’t handle the interest payments. When
that happens, we know that we have guessed wrongly.
Financial power comes from credit. I’m not impressed by how much
money people have in business, but how much money they can raise. What
money is raised on is integrity, reputation, value, and assets. I spent huge
sums of money on major enterprises without even having a contract. It’s an
old saying that a contract is as good as the paper it’s written on. What that
means is that the value of the contract is strictly based on the integrity of the
one we’re doing business with. If they don’t have that kind of integrity, we
shouldn’ t be doing business with them in the first place. If the only reason
they deal honestly with us is because if they don’t we can take them to court
and sue them, who needs them? The whole business world is played in that
arena.
If we are truly successful, our value to others is of such a dimension that
they automatica lly see to it and make the check good if it bounces. The
reason for this is that like goes to like. We draw people of a similar nature
into our circles of intimates. People of powerful integrity tend to deal with
each other. That’ s the very attraction—one champion recognizes another.
For our last example, let’s look at one of the biggest bloopers of the last
century, the whole principle of what was responsible for its complete
recovery, and then a position of world leadership. That is the story of Japan
in World War II. Japan emer ged from the ultra-defeat and being the ultra-
villain; from international disgra ce on a scale that we will never

called	again	but	the	child	died	before	he	arrived.	After	a	post	mortem	by	Doctors

Peters	and	Gillett,	the	cause	of	death	was	reported	as	colitis.	No	mention	was

made	of	the	recent	vaccination.

Miss	Hamilton,	a	school	teacher,	became	seriously	ill	two	weeks	after	her

vaccination.	Smallpox	pustules	broke	out	over	her	back	in	the	region	of	the

kidneys.	She	died	soon	after.	The	doctor	reported	the	cause	to	be	acute	dilation

of	the	heart.	(This	condition	does	not	happen	without	a	cause.	The	blood

poisoning	effect	of	the	vaccination	wasn’t	mentioned.)

Another	school	teacher	of	Colorado	Springs	(name	withheld)	submitted	to

vaccination	in	March	in	order	to	hold	her	position.	She	was	never	well	after	that

and	died	on	November	17,	1922.

Mr.	Charles	Kiner,	of	Colorado	Springs,	gave	the	following	report:

"In	the	fall	of	1922	we	started	our	only	child,	a	little	girl,	to	school.	She	was	in

excellent	health	at	the	time	but	after	she	had	attended	two	months	we	were	told
	that	she	must	be	vaccinated	or	leave	school.	We	were	opposed	to	it	but	had	to

submit.	Soon	after	she	was	vaccinated	she	broke	out	with	sores	and	was	not	able

to	attend	school	again	for	six	weeks.	She	started	again	but	was	too	sick	to

continue.	We	called	our	family	physician,	Dr.	Gillett,	and	he	said	she	had

erysipelas.	She	passed	away	about	9	days	later."

Mrs.	Caldwell	(Colorado	Springs)	was	vaccinated	and	nearly	lost	her	arm	as	a

result	of	the	long	continued	inflammation.	Eight	months	later	she	had	smallpox

in	spite	of	the	vaccination.	(Or	because	of	it)

"Our	baby	was	vaccinated	in	the	fall	of	1921.	Four	days	after	the	vaccination	the

arm	became	very	sore	and	swollen;	inflammation	spread	over	the	shoulder	and

up	the	neck	to	the	back	of	her	ear.	It	continued	to	get	worse	and	on	the	sixth	day

the	doctor	said	it	was	mastoiditis.	The	next	day	the	baby	went	into	convulsions

and	died	on	the	9th	day	after	the	vaccination."	Reported	by	the	mother—name

withheld	(Colorado	Springs.)

Mrs.	Ellen	Cook	(Denver)	was	vaccinated	at	the	City	Hall	on	November	15,

1922.	"In	five	days",	she	reported,	"I	was	very	sick	and	couldn’t	even	lift	my

head	for	several	days	without	vomiting.	My	arm	was	badly	swollen	and	full	of

painful	lumps	from	my	shoulder	to	my	elbow	and	was	purple	with	congestion.	It

felt	like	there	was	a	cord	drawn	from	my	breast	to	my	arm	which	gave	me

intense	pain.	I	was	quite	helpless	for	three	weeks	then	it	broke	out	in	sores	at

three	different	times.	A	year	and	three	months	has	passed	and	it	is	not	well	yet."

(February	28,	1923)

As	a	result	of	the	findings	of	this	privately	conducted	survey	of	vaccination

MEDICAL	INTERFERENCE
“Medical	science	is	a	form	of	delusional	madness	from	which	few	medical

men	ever	recover.	Backed	by	commercialism,	this	madness	runs	roughshod

over	the	life	and	health	of	the	people.”
		—Herbert	M.	Shelton,	Ph.D.,	D.C.,

N.D.

In	the	Dark	Ages	when	a	decadent	church	dominated	the	state	and	religious

persecution	b	e	c	a	m	e	intolerable,	the	people	rebelled	and	demanded	separation

of	church	and	state.	In	countries	where	this	popular	request	was	not	granted,

those	who	wanted	religious	freedom	fled	to	other	countries	where	more	liberty

and	justice	were	possible.	The	newly	discovered	America	became	a	refuge	for

those	who	sought	freedom	from	tyranny	and	subjection.	The	constitution,	that

the	Founding	Fathers	drew	up	was	originally	intended	to	protect	the	people	from

encroachments	on	civil	liberties	and	human	rights,	whether	it	be	from	the	self-
appointed	dictators	of	powerful	financial	interests,	or	from	political,	religious	or

economic	pressures.

Dr.	Benjamin	Rush	and	Dr.	Josiah	Bartlett	(both	congressmen	and	signers	of	the

Declaration	of	Independence)	foresaw	the	medical	tyranny	that	was,	even	then,

laying	its	groundwork	for	domination	of	the	healing	field.	In	an	effort	to	block

this	threatening	menace	they	tried	to	introduce	legislative	measures	that	would

insure	freedom	from	medical	tyranny	as	well	as	the	other	freedoms	necessary	to

democracy.	Their	efforts	were	thwarted,	however,	by	the	preponderance	of

orthodox	medical	men	in	congress	at	that	time,	whose	personal	interest	stood	m

the	way	of	public	good.	Some	of	these	men	even	refused	to	sign	the	Declaration.

An	excerpt	from	one	of	the	valiant	speeches	of	Dr.	Benjamin	Rush	is	as	follows:

"The	Constitution	of	the	Republic	should	make	provision	for	medical	freedom	as

well	as	for	religious	freedom.	To	restrict	the	art	of	healing	to	one	class	of	men

(such	as	medical	doctors)	and	deny	equal	privileges	to	others	(also	trained	in

healing)	will	constitute	the	Bastille	of	medical	science.	All	such	laws	are	Un-
American	and	despotic.	They	are	fragments	of	monarchy	and	have	no	place	in	a

Republic."
The	failure	of	congress	to	establish	freedom	from	medical	domination	has	cost

the	nation	countless	billions	of	dollars	and	needless	loss	of	life	and	health	of	our

citizens.
The	medical	dictatorship	has	extended	its	tentacles,	since	that	time,	until	it	now

has	control	over	a	much	wider	area	than	the	church	ever	did.	Not	only	is	our

Public	Health	Service	completely	manned	by	the	narrow	and	limited	ability	of

this	one	branch	of	business,	but	it	also	wields	its	dictatorial	power	over	the

schools,	colleges,	charities,	churches,	public	libraries,	press,	radio,	women’s

clubs,	P.T.A.,	life	insurance	companies	and	many	industries	and	businesses,	even

the	Civil	Service,	which	of	all	things,	should	respect	the	Constitution	in	its	law

against	trusts.

A	PLANNED	MEDICAL	CONSPIRACY

This	medical	strangle	hold	d


 New Y ork Academy of Science,  revealed that ener getic
signaling mechanisms such as electromagnetic frequencies are a hundred
times more ef ficient in relaying environmental information than physical
signals such as hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, etc.
(McClare 1974)
It is not surprising that ener getic signals are so much more ef ficient. In
physical molecules, the information that can be carried is directly linked
to a molecule’ s available ener gy. However, the chemical coupling
employed to transfer their information is accompanied by a massive loss
of ener gy due to the heat generated in making and breaking chemical
bonds. Because thermo-chemical coupling wastes most of the molecule’ s
ener gy, the small amount of ener gy that remains limits the amount of
information that can be carried as the signal.
W e know that living or ganisms must receive and interpret
environmental signals in order to stay alive. In fact, survival is directly
related to the speed and ef ficiency of signal transfer. The speed of
electromagnetic ener gy signals is 186,000 miles per second, while the
speed of a dif fusible chemical is considerably less than 1 centimeter per
second. Ener gy signals are 100 times more ef ficient and infinitely faster
than physical chemical signaling. What kind of signaling would your
trillion-celled community prefer? Do the math!
B u y i n g  t h e  P h a r m
I believe the major reason why ener gy research has been all but
ignored comes down to dollars and cents. The trillion-dollar
pharmaceutical industry puts its research money into the search formagic bullets in the form of chemicals because pills mean money. If
ener gy healing could be made into tablet form, drug manufacturers
would get interested quickly.
Instead, they identify deviations in physiology and behavior that vary
from some hypothetical norm as unique disorders or dysfunctions, and
then they educate the public about the dangers of these menacing
disorders. Of course, the over -simplified symptomology used in defining
the dysfunctions prevalent in drug company advertisements has viewers
convinced they are af flicted by that particular malady. “Do you worry?
W orry is a primary symptom of ‘medical condition’ called anxiety
disorder. Stop your worry. T ell your doctor you want Addictazac, the
new passion-pink drug.”
Meanwhile, the media essentially avoids the issue of deaths by
medicine by directing our attention to the dangers of illicit drugs. They
admonish us that using drugs to escape life’ s problems is not the way to
resolve one’ s issue. Funny … I was just going to use that exact sentence
to describe my concerns about the overuse of legal drugs. Are they
dangerous? Ask the people who died last year. Using prescription drugs
to silence a body’ s symptoms enables us to ignore personal involvement
we may have with the onset of those symptoms. The overuse of
prescription drugs provides a vacation from personal responsibility.
Our drug mania reminds me of a job at an auto dealership I held while
in graduate school. At 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, an irate woman came
into the shop. Her car ’ s “service engine light” was flashing, even though
her car had already been repaired for that same problem several times. At
4:30 on a Friday afternoon, who wants to work on a balky problem and
deal with a furious customer? Everyone was quiet, except for one
mechanic who said, “I’ll take care of it.” He drove the car back into the
bay, got in behind the dashboard, removed the bulb from the signal light
and threw it away. Then he opened a can of soda and lit a cigarette. After
a suitable time, during which the customer thought he was actually fixing
the car, the mechanic returned and told the woman her car was ready.
Thrilled to see that the warning light had stopped flashing, she happily
drove of f into the sunset. Though the cause of the problem was still
present, the symptom was gone. Similarly, pharmaceutical drugs
suppress the body’ s symptoms but most never address the cause of the
problem.“W ait,” you say. “T imes have changed.” W e are now more educated to
the dangers of drugs and more open to alternative therapies. It is true that
because half of Americans visit complementary health practitioners,
traditional doctors can no longer put their heads in the sand and hope
other approaches go away. Insurance companies have even started to pay
for services they once deemed quackery, and major teaching hospitals
allow a limited number of such practitioners inside.
But even today very little scientific rigor has been marshaled to assess
the ef fectiveness of complementary medicine. The National Institutes of
Health did create an “alternative medicine” branch, thanks to pressure
from the public. But that is only a token gesture to quell activists and
consumers who spend lots of money on alternative health care. There are
no serious research funds available for studying ener gy medicine. The
rub is that without supportive research, ener gy-based healing modalities
are of ficially labeled “unscientific.”

Though conventional medicine still has not focused on the role ener gy
plays as “information” in biological systems, ironically, it has embraced
noninvasive scanning technologies, which read such ener gy fields.
Quantum physicists have created ener gy-scanning devices that can
analyze the frequencies emitted by specific chemicals. These scanning
systems enable scientists to identify the molecular composition of
materials and objects. Physicists have adapted these devices to read the
ener gy spectra emitted by our body’ s tissues and or gans. Because ener gy
fields travel easily through the physical body, these modern devices, such
as CA T scans, MRIs, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans,
can detect disease noninvasively. Physicians are able to diagnose internal
problems by dif ferentiating the spectral ener gy character of healthy and
diseased tissue in the scanned images.Mammogram. Note the above illustration is not a photograph of a
br east, it is an electr onic image cr eated fr om scanning the radiant ener gy
characteristics of the or gan’ s cells and tissues. Differ entials in the ener gy
spectra enable radiologists to distinguish between healthy and diseased
tissues (the black spot in the center).
The ener gy scan illustrated above reveals the presence of breast
cancer. The diseased tissue emits its own unique ener gy signature, which
dif fers from the ener gy emitted by surrounding healthy cells. The ener gy
signatures that pass through our bodies travel through space as invisible
waves that resemble ripples on a pond. If you drop a pebble into a pond,
the “ener gy” carried in the falling pebble (due to the force of gravity
pulling on its mass) is transmitted to the water. The ripples generated by
the pebble are actually ener gy waves passing through the water.
If more than one pebble is thrown into the water at the same time, the
spreading ripples (ener gy waves) from each source can interfere with
each other, forming composite waves where two or more ripples
conver ge. That interference can be either constructive (ener gy-
amplifying) or destructive (ener gy-deflating).Dropping two pebbles of the same size, from the same height, and at
exactly the same time, coordinates the wave action of their ripples. The
ripples from each pebble conver ge on each other. Where the ripples
overlap, the combined power of the interacting waves is doubled, a
phenomenon referred to as constructive interference, or harmonic
r esonance.  When the dropping of the pebbles is not coordinated, their
ener gy waves are out of sync. As one wave is going up, the other is
going down. At the point of conver gence these out of sync ener gy waves
cancel each other. Instead of a doubling of the ener gy where the ripples
interfere with each other, the water is calm … there is no ener gy wave.
This phenomenon of canceling ener gy waves is called destructive
interference.
Constructive Interfer ence. In 1 above, two sets of ripples ar e moving
acr oss the surface of water towar d each other. As illustrated, both wave
A and B ar e moving towar d each other with their ripples in phase, in this
case both waves ar e leading with their negative amplitude. Their cycle
patterns ar e aligned. The waves mer ge together at the interface wher e
two ripples meet. T o illustrate the consequence of this mer ger, the wavesar e drawn with one above the other in figur e 2. Wher e the amplitude of A
is +1, the amplitude of B is also +1. Add the two together, and the
r esulting amplitude of the composite wave at that point is +2. Likewise,
wher e A is –1 so is B, together the total amplitude will be –2. The
r esulting higher amplitude composite wave is illustrated in 3.
The behavior of ener gy waves is important for biomedicine because
vibrational frequencies can alter the physical and chemical properties of
an atom as surely as physical signals like histamine and estrogen.
Because atoms are in constant motion, which


press them and not drown in them either. If you repress
them too long, they will eventually cause physical dis-eases
and if you let them run wild, they will control you and limit
your potential and consequently, your life.36Some possible substitute feelings
Some psychologists call fear, anger, guilt, stress, sadness,
loneliness and boredom, the seven primary emotions and
consider all other emotions as simple derivations of them,
besides the secondary emotion of frustration and the tertiary
emotion of depression.
Whether this is true, is not really the point. However, I
would like to use them to demonstrate that they all have a
purpose - an important message.
Fear for example is a call to protect oneself if it is founded
and reasonably justified.
If you found yourself unarmed and face to face with an
angry and hungry jaguar in the middle of the jungle, I wouldn’t
think it would be a good idea to pause and start observing your
fear unless you wanted to become dinner!
However, if you have a fear of seeing and facing your new
mother-in-law because of the negativities you faced with the
previous one, (does that remind you of anyone?), then you
need to transform your unfounded fear into the energy needed
for the situation at hand.
In this case, what would be the energy or feeling that the
immature fear (F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real) 37
would have to have in order to be mature? How about the
feeling of being too strong for any unnecessary fear? Strong
as in being capable of letting go of any unwarranted criticism,
or strong as in loving patience and compassion and calmly
refusing to take anything personally!
The substitute in this scenario would then be the calm
inner strength type of energy! So now imagine yourself being
strong (using visual submodalities), say to yourself (using
auditory submodalities) “I am too strong for unnecessary
fears” and feel (using kinesthetic submodalities) that calm and
strong energy permeating your whole being.
And by the way, some psychotherapists and
hypnotherapists believe that it is absolutely necessary
whenever you have an excess of any primary emotion, to
regress back to the initial sensitizing event (the event which
started the problem) and major subsequent sensitizing events
(the events which reinforced the initial sensitizing event) in
order to transform the misperceptions and erroneous beliefs
and/or neutralize the emotional intensity. I have found that it
is not necessary and that the symptoms caused by the emotions
vanish permanently once the emotion has matured into its
full potential self and has been sufficiently and effectively
conditioned.
However, in my private practice when I use the
Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner Method TM (refer to 38section III), I still enjoy discovering the lessons of the initial
sensitizing events and the major subsequent sensitizing events
as much as finding and putting together their full potential
counterparts which are usually one and the same.
Reasonable	 and	necessary	 messages	 from	the	primary
emotions:
Fear is a call for protection, anger is a message to obtain
justice and to forgive, guilt is a call to make things right
and forgive oneself, stress is a call to prioritize your values
and activities, sadness requires that you replace your loss,
loneliness wants you to connect with people you like and who
like you and boredom is asking for stimulation and excitement.
You may use the following if your heart so desires:

emotion of:Possible full potential

Fear (anxiety, worry…) I am too strong for this
unnecessary fear
Anger I am too cool (headed) for
this excess anger(May use V.A.K submodalities
to enhance the feeling)39
Please keep in mind that emotions can be necessary at times.
I have discovered over the years that the acronym formula
Cool. S.A.H.L.L.N (Cool-Headed, Strong, Aware, Happy,
Loved, Loving, Noble) seems to be all that is required to find
the full potential substitute of the unfounded emotion which
arises within you, as long as you are creative in combining
the letters in order to discover the specific needed energy.
Also, keep in mind that you can always use the “A” for
awareness as your trump card because awareness is the key to
transformation and inner peace!Guilt I am too noble for this
unnecessary guilt

excess stress

The use of the Cool. S.A.H.L.L.N acronym formula for
effectively finding the Energetic Potentiated Substitute Feeling
(EPSF) is part of a method I call: The Intuitive Potentiation
and Energetic Conditioning Method TM (I.P.E.C)
I call the acronym a formula because you can combine
any part or initial with any other to get a feeling for a different
energy altogether.41
For example, I can combine Cool and S to obtain the
specific energy of “Cool Strength” and the L and A to obtain
the energy of Loving Awareness, the Cool with the H for Cool
Happiness and so forth. The whole acronym in itself has a
unique type of conscious energy and vibration I call the Full
Potential Self, (FPS)(2).
Each and every one of us has a unique and special FPS
which is a variation of the Cool. S.A.H.L.L.N full potential
self and it goes by many names such as the higher self, inner
healer, intrinsic intelligence or consciousness, inner knowing,
intuition and others.
I believe that the more you intuitively use this acronym
formula in a creative and flexible manner, the simpler and more
effective it will get, that more and more opportunities for growth
will manifest your way and that it will most probably guide you
to discover and connect with your own full potential self if you
haven’t already!
You can now experiment by combining the letters of the
acronym and formulate the energy specifically needed by the
immature emotion to unfold its particular full potential self
and then integrate it as part of your new being which is a step
closer to being your own Full Potential Self (FPS).42The I.P.E.C methodTM applies to any limiting emotion,
thought, belief and unwanted behavior which is blocking you
from connecting with your Full Potential Self (FPS). You
can imagine the emotion, thought or bad habit by giving it
a personality, shape and color and then ask it, as you feel its
energy, what it wants and needs to feel whole. And what it
really and truly wants, boils down to transforming itself into
its FPS whether it is aware of it or not, which is discovered
and put together like a puzzle within the Cool. S.A.H.L.L.N
acronym formula. Once the energetic full potential self
substitute has been revealed, you can also creatively assign
it a personality, shape and color and then adopt it, integrate it
and allow it to become part of you and feel how it transforms
your energetic way of being.
As I insinuated earlier, the ultimate goal and purpose is
to do enough of this inner work, enough I.P.E.C.s of your
limiting thoughts, emotions and behaviors to connect with
your personal FPS, become it, and live it in your daily life.
Here’s an example on how to use the I.P.E.C methodTM to
transform an unhealthy habit like cigarette smoking.
1. Decide to stop smoking by getting leverage and getting
extremely motivated to do so by projecting yourself into
positive and negative scenarios of the future.
2. Use a pattern interrupt such as imagining that you are
throwing the cigarette up into a purifying fire, up in to
smokes! Use visual submodalities to imagine throwing 43
it powerfully up into the fire, auditory submodalities such
as yelling “YEEEEHA” while throwing it up and the
kinesthetic submodalities such as rapidly raising your
arm up to throw it. If you don’t want to do this in public,
you can yell “YEEEEHA” internally while throwing it
up in your imagination and pinching your leg. Do this
every time you feel a cigarette attack (urge to smoke)
and then act out the energy of the FPS of the hypocritical
cigarette that you are going to create in step 5.
3. Intuitively create and sense the personality, color and
shape of the hurtful cigarette. It could be a little, sickly
looking, black, cancerous and hypocritical monster, full
of slimy thick yellowish pus.  (may use the submodalities
to detail more)
4. Put together, using the Cool. S.A.H.L.L.N acronym its
Energetic Full
