 Great  Wisdom,  saw  down  the centuries  what  would
affect  America;  and  thru  Mighty  Saint  Germain's  Great
and Wondrous  Activity,  is making  possible  to avoid  the
third  and  most  destructive  thing,  which  would  ever  over-
take the  Earth.  Because  it meant,  if that  should  be vic-
torious,  there  would  be no place  on the Earth  decent  for
mankind  to live.
My Dear  People,  My Dear  Beloved  Students  of the Light,
if you  knew  the conditions  which  exist  in Europe  and  the
Orient  today,  you  would  call  as never  before  in your  Life.
I tell  you,  you  have  not a fragmentary  idea  of the actual
conditions  which  exist  today.
Allow  Me to remind  you,  why  did Her  Great  Presence—
Her Great  Wisdom  in the final  closing  of Her  Vision  say,
to Washington:  "That  if necessary,  the Great  Light  as of
a Thousand  Suns"  would  descend  into  the Earth ? Because
Her Wisdom  saw  the wavering  attitude  of mankind.  Why
do you  suppose,  We have  been  so earnestly  endeavoring  to
bring  the Expansion  of the Light  in enough  of mankind
to a point,  where  We  could  positively  depend  on Indi-
viduals  standing  by the Light  of their  "I AM  Presence" ?
For the very  reason,  there  must  be some  correspondence,
must  be some  Means  of Direction  in the Octave  of Earth,
by which  the Great  Cosmic  Law  could  act.  It is why  and
how,  Beloved  Ones,  you  are acting  under  a Definite  Law 222 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
of Life  which  makes  no mistakes.  That  Life  is your  own
"Mighty  I AM  Presence."
The Individuals  who  will  earnestly  turn  and  give  their
attention  to their  "I AM  Presence"  WITH  FEELING,
DETERMINED  FEELING,  will  soon  find  all mistakes
ceasing  from  their  Lives.  This  is why,  We  have  pled  and
implored  the students  for these  three  years,  to come  to an
anchorage  in the Light  of their  own  Wondrous  Presence.
Oh, think  of it! That  Great  Presence  of Light,  is the Most
Wondrous  Thing  in the Whole  Universe—regardless  of the
Octaves  of Light!  That  Presence,  your  "Mighty  I AM,"  is
the Most  Wondrous  Presence  and  Being  in the  Whole
Universe—actually  beating  your  Hearts,  your  physical
Hearts!  Only  now,  are the  greater  number  of mankind
coming  to feel this  with  a greater  intensity;  and  becoming
more  and  more  firm  against  all discordant  things.
Precious  People,  to hold  Complete  Harmony  in your
feeling;  refuse  to listen  to or express  a discordant  thing,
would  within  one  year,  fill your  world  with  such  Happi-
ness,  Perfection  and  the  Supply  of all you  require,  as is
inconceivable  in your  mind,  even  today!
Look  at your  Beloved  Messengers  whom  you  love  so
much.  Only  a few  years  ago,  they  were  in the same  limita-
tions  as all mankind.  This  Beloved  Brother,  how  he strug-
gled  thru  those  years.  Today,  he is no more  the same  Being
that he was  ten years  ago,  than  as if he were  from  another
planet.  That  is why  the proof  stands  before  you,  beloved
people  of Earth. DISCOURSE  VIII  223
To anyone,  who  is honest  and  sincere  and  wants  to see
the Living  Proof,  I say,  it is before  you  all the time;  of the
Magnificent,  Powerful  Manifestation  of the Sincere  Appli-
cation  of the Laws  of Life;  thru  the attention  to the Great
God  Presence,  the "Mighty  I AM."  That  is why  We  have
Limitless  Patience.  Today,  when  We  see for the first  time
in many  centuries,  the Actual  Tremendous  Progress  being
made,  then  can  you  feel  with  Me,  the Rejoicing  in Our
Hearts?  It is Magnificent,  Beloved  Ones!  It is Magnificent
beyond  all expression,  to find  at last  the Response  from
Beloved  Individuals  who  have  so long  forgotten  their
Source.
Within  the last few  days,  We were  in a Great  Conference
concerning  the Immediate  Requirements  of the Earth;  and
all agreed  with  such  Rejoicing,  the  Response  today  was
coming  to the Great  Balance;  for the Light,  Protection  and
Blessing  of mankind  and  your  Beloved  America.  It is a
wonderful  thing.  Never  in four  hundred  centuries,  has
such  a Response  been  given  by mankind.
Now  let Us all give  gratitude.  Except  for the  Mighty
Determination  of the Beloved  Saint  Germain,  this  would
not be today.  He was  the One  who  took  the Responsibility!
Remember  that,  Beloved  Ones,  and  try never  to forget  it!
He was  the  One  who  took  the  reins,  took  the  Respon-
sibility  for the failure  or Achievement.  I won't  say what  it
would  have  meant  had  He failed.  You,  I am sure  in your
Greatest  Love  have  never  contemplated  such  a thing!  Then,
do you  wonder  only  last  night,  He spoke  of the Accom-224 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
plishment;  and  poured  forth  His  Love  and  Gratitude  not
only  to the Messengers  and  the Beloved  Sindelars;  but  to
all the students  for holding  the fort  and  sending  forth  This
Wondrous  Magazine,  which  is doing  so much  more  in the
World,  than  anyone  dreams  of, at this time.  Do you  wonder
He and  We  pour  forth  such  Great  Gratitude  to the stu-
dents  everywhere ? Remember  you  are the Great  Family  of
Light!  To the degree  you  refuse  to give  forth  or listen  to
discord,  are you  aiding  TREMENDOUSLY  in the Great
Victory  soon  to be determined.
I want  to say a word  to you  tonight,  in behalf  of your  Be-
loved  Lotus.  Could  you  know  the hours,  and  hours,  and
hours,  and  hours,  and  hours,  she works—day  and  almost  all
night,  for the demand  has  grown  greater,  to render  This
Service  to beloved  mankind.  Our  Beloved  Betty,  who  so
willingly  works,  until  her fingers  split  on the ends  from  the
constant  use of the typewriter.
You cannot  imagine,  and  as they  cannot  imagine,  the
Marvelous  Service  which  the blessed  Sindelars  render  here
in this  Center  of Activity.  Oh,  I plead  with  you  for your
own  Light,  never  criticize  them!  Please  do not do it! They
need  your  Love,  your  Strength,  to give  them  the happiness
needed,  in their  wonderful  service  rendered  to mankind.
Take  for instance,  your  environment  here  in Southern
California.  If every  student  would  earnestly  and  sincerely
pour  out  Ascended  Master  Love  and  Blessings  to every
other  student,  what


. I know some day it will break loose and theywill become deathly ill with a variety of illnesses – aches,pains, headaches, colds, flu, rashes, etc. – as this healingcrisis is trying to clean out the toxins. That’s what diseaseand sickness are – Mother Nature trying to cleanse andpurify the burdened body of toxins, accumulated since
childhood, by pushing these toxins out!86
No man can violate Nature’s Laws and escape her penalties! – Julian JohnsonYou Pay For Your Sins Sooner or Later
Many people inherit constitutions of steel through
heredity. They can laugh and flaunt at God and Mother
Nature’s Laws and seem to get away with it! Inevitably
the day of reckoning always arrives, the day whenMother Nature starts a purification by some form of
elimination. I have seen so-called healthy people who
thought they could eat and drink anything, smoke, losesleep and work
 long hours – suddenly collapse with a
heart attack, stroke or illness. Sadly, I have seen many
of these powerful people go to an early grave due totheir disregard of common sense health laws!
So I knew that my student had to be handled very
carefully. It pleased me that he kept up his programpersistently and faithfully. It took almost a year of weekly
24 to 36 hour fasts and strong adherence to The Bragg
Healthy Lifestyle to defeat his annoying body odors.Today that man has a sweet, clean breath. There is no
longer any putrid odor exuding from his body. He is an
entirely different man. He not only defeated the enemieswithin his body, but he looks and feels
 20 years younger.
He’s now handsome, youthful and vigorous, with
personal magnetism. He’s more relaxed because he has
a healthy body and a healthy, peaceful mind. Now itmust be very plain and obvious to you why I use fasting
as an effective, safe method of detoxifying the body. Most
people wait until something happens to their healthbefore they take action – and sadly it’s often too late!
An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Ton of Cures!
Those of you who are reading this book should not
wait until Mother Nature shocks you into detoxification.
Isn’t it far more logical and sensible to give your body a
physiological rest every week for
 24 to 36 hours? Isn’t it
good, sound reasoning for you to take a  7 to 10 day fast
from time to time and give your body a chance to purify
itself? Give your body a chance to get rid of anyaccumulated toxins! In our modern, complex civilization
we are absolutely bound to pick up poisons and toxins.87Fasting Promotes Healthy Elimination
I have explained to you very thoroughly that this is
a world filled with toxins and poisons. Our only salvation
is to be faithful with a regular program of fasting. This
fasting strongly promotes a healthier colon and goodelimination. It helps keep the body cleaner and healthier
by regularly purging out the vicious toxins. It can mean
a whole new, cleaner  life, because when you are healthy,you have more joy, peace and energy in your life.

To Detox, Repair, Rebuild and Restore Health
A fast of 3 days or longer should be conducted under
ideal conditions. You should be able to rest any time you feel
the toxins passing out of your body. During this time youmight feel some discomfort. You should rest and relax quietly
until the toxins have passed out of your body. It’s best to be
at peace and alone when possible. This brief period ofdiscomfort will leave as soon as the loosened toxins have
passed out through your kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.
During longer fasts don’t tell others you’re fasting. Why
not? During a fast you must keep in mind only positive
thoughts of the cleansing and the renewing miracles
happening in your body. Often others are ignorant anduninformed about fasting and project negative thoughts.
Our fasting is such a very personal and quiet time that
many years ago I went into the Santa Monica Mountains inCalifornia and bought a tract of land in the wilderness of the
Topanga Canyon near Malibu. There I built a retreat cabin,
identical to Thoreau’s at Walden Pond. In that naturalseclusion, Patricia and I enjoy the quiet and peace for our
fasting time. If it’s possible for you to get away to some
secluded place and do your fast in Mother Nature’s splendorwith fresh air and solitude, you will enjoy better results!
There are also some very fine health spas throughout
the world where all the conditions are perfect for a restfulfast. Inquire at health stores for any located in your area.
Many of the Bragg students who fast regularly tell us that
they use their vacation as a period of fasting and purificationof body, mind and soul. Often they will go to some beautiful
spot to rent accommodations and take their fast in seclusion.
I am not saying it’s necessary to go away to fast. Your homeis your castle and hopefully you will be cozy and peaceful
there. The Bragg family all regularly fast. When any one is
fasting, we have great consideration for them. We have anagreement not to ask each other how we feel during the
fast. Fasting is so personal that no one can do anything for
you during the fast, so it’s best not to discuss it with others.Relax and be thankful for your miracle cleansing.
When you are on a fast of 3 days or more, you are really on
Mother Nature’s and God’s miracle operating table.
Nature is ridding you of the waste, mucus, toxins
and other foreign substances in your body.89How to Break Long Fasts
How to Break a 7 Day Fast
Remember that when you have been on a 7 day fast
your stomach and the  30 feet of intestinal tract have
contracted. When you are ready to break the fast, don’t
overeat, please eat and chew your food slowly as directed:
Around 5 to 6 pm at the end of your 7th day fast, peel
and cut up  4 or 5 organic tomatoes (or canned, salt-free
tomatoes), add cup distilled water, and garlic (mashed) ifdesired, bring to boil and turn off heat. When cool enough
to eat, serve in bowl with liquid. Spray some Bragg Aminos
over top and a dash of Bragg Vinegar and Bragg Olive Oil.Eat as much as desired. Around mid-morning of the
8th
day, have a medium salad of chopped cabbage, grated beets
and carrots, with half an orange or lemon squeezed overit. After your salad, if desired have a bowl of steamedgreens (
kale, Swiss chard, collard, mustard or beet greens )  and
peeled tomatoes, season with garlic, Bragg Olive Oil and
Aminos. Bring greens to  boil, then turn off heat. Withgreens, you may eat
1–2 slices 100% whole grain bread
that’s been oven–dry–toasted into melba toast. See recipe
below for delicious garlic toast. During the day have threeBragg Vinegar drinks and all the distilled water you wish.
For dinner you may have another salad of grated
cabbage, carrots, chopped celery and avocado, with freshorange or lemon juice for dressing. Often you may not
require or desire any more food. But, if so, you may have
1
to 2 cooked vegetables; such as broccoli, stringbeans,
carrots, peas, okra, squash, etc. You may also have  1-2 pieces
delicious  whole grain garlic toast. Lightly dry–toast bread
slices in oven. Rub raw garlic cloves on both sides, spreadwith Bragg Organic Olive Oil, then spray with Bragg Liquid
Aminos and sprinkle on nutritional yeast (
large) flakes.
Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together. – Sister TeresaChapter 1 090On the morning of the 9th day, you may have a
variety of fresh organic fruits such as banana, pineapple,
papaya, grapes, orange, grapefruit and apples. Or you
may have a Bragg Pep Drink (page 230). At noon you
may have a salad of grated carrots, cabbage and celery
and some  garlic toast. At dinner you may have the Bragg
Health Salad and, if desired, steamed veggies or soup.
How to Break a 10 Day Fast
There is little difference between the  7 and the  10
day fast. On the 10th day around dinner time  you will
have stewed tomatoes; from then you will follow thesame schedule as given in the
 7 day fast

 function of life-centered, present-moment awareness.
Each cell also expresses the Law of Dharma. Each cell must discover its
own source, the higher self; it must serve its fellow beings, and express its
unique talents. Heart cells, stom ach cells, and immune cells all have theirsource in the higher self, the field of pure potentiality. And because they are
directly linked to this cosmic computer, they can express their unique
talents with ef fortless ease and timeless awareness. Only by expressing their
unique talents can they maintain both their own integrity and the integrity
of the whole body. The internal dialogue of every cell in the human body is,
How can I help?   The heart cells want to help the immune cells, the immune
cells want to help the stomach and lung cells, and the brain cells are
listening to and helping every other cell. Every cell in the human body has
only one function: to help every other cell.
By looking at the behaviour of the cells of our own body, we can observe
the most extraordinary and efficient expression of The Seven Spiritual
Laws. This is the genius of nature  s intelligence. These are the thoughts of
God   the rest are details. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success are powerful
principles that will enable you to attain self-mastery. If you put your
attention on these laws and practice the steps outlined in this book, you will
see that you can manifest anything you want   all the affluence, money, and
success that you desire. You will also see that your life becomes more
joyful and abundant in every way, for these laws are also the spiritual laws
of life that make living worthwhile. There is a natural sequence for the
application of these laws in your daily life that may help you to remember
them. The Law of Pure Potentia lity is experienced through silence, through
meditation, through non-judgment, through communion with nature, but it
is activated by the Law of Givin g. The principle here is to learn to give that
which you seek. That  s how you activate the Law of Pure Potentiality. If you
seek affluence, give affluence; if you seek money, give money;  if you seek
love, appreciatio n, and affection, then learn to give love, appre ciation, and
affection.
Through your actions in the Law of Giving you activate the Law of Karma.
You create good karma, and good karma makes everything in life easy. You
notice that you don  t have to expend a lot of effort to fulfill your desires,
which automatic ally leads to an understanding of the Law of Least Effort.
When everythin g is easy and effortless, and your desires keep getting
fulfilled, you spontaneously begin to understand the Law of Intention and
Desire. Fulfilling your desires with effortless ease makes it easy for you to
practice the Law of Detachment. Finally, as you begin to understand all theabove laws, you begin to focus on your true purpose in life, which leads to
the Law of Dharma. Through the use of this law, by expressing your unique
talents and fulfilling the needs of your fellow humans, you begin to create
whatever you want, whenever you want it. You become carefree  and joyful,
and your life becomes an expression of unbounded love.
We are travellers on a cosmic journey   star-dust, swirling and dancing in the
eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. But the expressions of life
are ephemeral, momentary, 37
The law of purpose ¶
transient. Gauta ma Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, once said, This
existence of ours is as transient  as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and
death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is
like a flash of lightning in the sky, Rushing by like a torrent down a steep
mountain.
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to
share. This is a precious momen t, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis
in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheart-edness, and love, we will
create abundance and joy for each other. And then this momen t will have
been worthwhile.

Dear Friend:
In The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, I describe the virtues and
associated principles that have helped me and countless others to achieve
spiritual satisfac tion and material success. I am writing to invite you to join
me, and potentially millions of others worldwide, in the Global Network for
Spiritual Succes s, which will be based on the daily practice of these
powerful guiding principles.
Participation in the Network is open to anyone who chooses to practice The
Seven Spiritual Laws. I have found it particularly fulfilling to concentrate
on one law each day of the week, beginning on Sunday with the Law of
Pure Potentiality  and concluding on Saturday with the Law of Dharma.
Having your attention on a spiritual law will completely transform your life,
as it has mine, and if we collecti vely put our attention on the same law each
day, we could soon reach a critical mass of successful people that could
transform life on planet earth With my staff and friends, I suggest starting a
study group of family, friends, or co-workers where members meet once a
week to discuss their experiences with the spiritual laws. To actively
participate in the Global Network, please visit our website at
www.chopra.com for inspirational and informational resources to
encourage, support and deepen your personal growth.
The establishme nt of the Network represents the fulfillment of one of my
most cherished  dreams. By participating in the Global Network and
practicing The Seven Spiritual Laws, I know that you will achieve spiritual
success and the fulfillment of your desires. I can wish you no greater
blessing.With love and best wishes,
Deepak Chopra

 to enervation and Toxemia.

   Ambition. —Ambition of a selfish type brings on ill -
health; for it meet s with so many disappointments. Where
successful, it enables the one who succeeds to gratify his
sensual nature, resulting in all the so -called diseases
following in the wake of selfish gratification. A noble
ambition  goes with self -control and service to mankind,
and health and long life are two of the rewards. Ambition
for display, ostentation, gives an evanescent gratification;
but it costs more in wasted nerve -energy than it is worth.

   Thousands of semi -invalid women bring on toxemic
crises as their  reward for giving dinners and displaying
dress, homes, and furnishings.     Women gratify silly, stupid ambitions, and pay for their
thrills in broken health.

   Many waste more energy at an afternoon card party than
they can renew in a week.

   Envy. —Envy of a low and disease -producing type is of a
begrudging nature. The man possessing this kind of envy is
a vandal. He will slip a monkey -wrench into the machinery
of those whom he envies. He will poison reputations by
innuendo.

Who steals my purse ste als trash; ‘tis something,
nothing;
‘Twas mine, ‘tis his, and has been slave to
thousands;
But he who filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed. (Shakespeare.)

   When safe, such a person will go the  limit in doing even
bodily harm to those whose merits tower over his. Laudable
envy is that of a desire to equal in success the one envied.
To rejoice in the success of others, and try to equal them,
where the success has been achieved on merit, builds a
healthy mind and body.
    Love and Jealousy. —According to Solomon: “Love is
strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave.” Solomon
should have known.

   Shakespeare knew about everything worth knowing up to
his time. He said:

How many fools serve m addened jealousy!
The venomed clamors of a jealous woman
Poison more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.

   The systematic poisoning of overwrought emotions has
been known since reasoning began; but, aside from
knowing that ‘`a poison is generated in the sys tem” from
great anger, love, jealousy, hate, and grief, just what the
poison is, and the modus operandi of its production, have
never been satisfactorily explained until made clear by the
Philosophy of Toxemia. The pathology of jealousy
Shakespeare knew we ll, as evidenced by the words he put
into the mouths of some of his characters.

   Excessive emotion —jealousy, for example, or great
anger — precipitates a profound enervation, which inhibits
elimination. This floods the blood with toxin, and brings on
a malignant Toxemia in the form of toxin drunkenness,
which in people of a belligerent nature causes them to run amuck. Murder, several murders, are sometimes
committed. In those with more consideration for others —
those with less self -love—suicide ends the p sychological
storm.

   Jealousy and unrequited love, when not malignant —
developing in a viscious, unmoral subject —in time
undermine the constitution by keeping up a gradually
increasing state of enervation and Toxemia. Catarrhal
inflammations and ulcerat ions get better and worse, with no
hope of final recovery until the causes of enervation are
overcome namely, enervating habits of mind and body, of
which jealousy is chief.

   Overeating. —Overeating is a common and universal
enervating habit; eating too  much fat —cream, butter, fat
meats, oils, rich pastries, sweets; eating too often; eating
between meals, and checking digestion with water -drinking
between meals.

   Food -inebriety is more common than alcohol -inebriety.
The subconscious is as busy as a h ive of bees substituting,
antidoting, and in reparation work; substituting one
stimulating excess for another —demanding whiskey,
tobacco, opium, etc., for gluttonous eating; thrills, shocks,
sensual excesses for food -poisoning. Ungratified sense -demands ar e appeased by food excesses or other stimulants;
and when nature is balked in her demands, the victim runs
amuck.

   A French sheep -herder’s daughter, being opposed by her
father in marrying a lover, killed the parent while he slept
by their campfire. A short time after the tragedy some men
came upon the camp and discovered the girl eating her
father’s heart, which she had cut out and roasted in the fire.
When surprised at her cannibalistic feast, she held up what
was left of the heart, and, with a sardon ic laugh, declared:
“He broke my heart, and I am eating his.”

   Only a short time ago the overwrought nerves of a jazz -
and alcohol -crazed girl forced her to kill her mother
because the latter undertook to oppose her in the
gratification of her subconsci ous demands for more
stimulation.

   When enervation and Toxemia have reached the stage of
inebriety seen in the two girls mentioned above, civil and
moral laws have abdicated to the subconscious laws, which,
like cosmic law and order, are unmoral, but r un true to
necessity.

    Psychological, like physical, cyclones are out of the
regular order, yet they are obeying the laws of their nature.
They have no scruples to gainsay, but tear through order as
ruthlessly as fiends.

   Every human being should know that such phenomena
are potential to him, and that the road to such catastrophes
is enervating habits.

   Prohibition is a beautiful ideal, but it is palliating one
social disease while it is building a greater.

   What mother would not rather hav e her son brought home
from the corner grog -shop drunk than see him escorted to
jail hand -cuffed to an officer?

   Enervation and Toxemia focused on the brain bring out
neurotic states, with all kinds of symptom -complexes.
Drunkenness substitutes for ban k robbery and other
outlawry. So long as food -drunkenness retains its prestige
with the professions —prescribed by doctors; babbled to us
Sundays, and deciding our brawls on Monday —it will take
more than statutes to enforce law and order. Most of our
laws a re made while the law -makers are drunk on food and
tobacco.
    Drunkenness and crime of all kinds are vicarious toxin
eliminations —crises of Toxemia. Enforcing temperance
and control of crime must fail In object —namely, causing
people to be temperate and  law-abiding. The reason should
be obvious to the student of nature. Our wants are based on
our subconscious needs; sentiment and ethics have nothing
to do with it. Our subconscious is not moral nor immoral; it
belongs to the Great Cosmos, which is systema tic, perfect
in order, but unmoral. Intemperance of any kind establishes
a want which, if not satisfied in the usual way, will turn to
other ways of being satisfied. The surgeon, laws, and
anodynes perhaps relieve effects, but cures are based on
removing c auses. Legislatures are quack doctors. Self -
control is the only cure. To develop self -control, the need
must be understood.

   The gluttonous build putrefaction in the bowels. Nerve -
energy is used up in resisting systemic infection. The
supply of blood t o the surface of the body for purposes of
warmth —radiation —resisting cold and heat, is called to the
mucous membrane of the gastro -intestinal canal to
neutralize the septic material that is about to enter the
system through the absorbents. The mucous membr ane
becomes turgid with blood, establishing a mucorrhea
(excessive secretion of mucus). This is what we call
catarrh. This secretion mechanically obstructs absorption of putrescence, and also antidotes the poison by bringing the
antibodies from the blood.

   A battle -royal is on all the time in the intestines of the
gluttonous. The subconscious musters all the help possible,
and when the system is drained of autogenerated antidotes,
the victim is sent by his subconscious to find alcohol,
tobacco, coffee, tea, condiments, and more food. Moral
preachments, and prohibitory laws passed by Solons drunk
on toxin. bowel putrescence, and tobacco, like all
monstrosities, are abortions.

   Insatiable desire for food and stimulants means an


ene found an inverse rela-tion for lung cancer with respect to dietary intake for smokers
118
and nonsmokers.119 However, when beta carotene supplements
were taken, smokers had increased risk of lung cancer.120 For beta
carotene, it was one component of vegetables in the diet; as far as is known, vitamin D production is the only beneficial effect of solar UVB irradiance.
Response to Criticisms of the Ecological Approach
At a World Health Organization meeting in Munich in 2005,
dermatologists expressed their opinion that ecological studies using solar UVB doses as the index of vitamin D were perhaps incorrect in that irradiance was not always correlated with dose. That state-ment spurred Grant to find a personal index of solar UVB irradiance. Because integrated lifetime UVB irradiance is the primary risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), it seemed that incidence or death from SCC would be a suitable marker for long-term UVB irradiance. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is linked to both UVB and UVA irradiance, so it is also a useful index; however, melanoma is linked to UVA irradiance,
121 so it is not a useful indicator. The first
report in this series was a meta-analysis of studies of second cancer after development of BCC, SCC or melanoma.
122 The studies had
to be adjusted according to smoking among each population because smoking is a risk factor for both BCC and SCC but reduces the risk of melanoma.
123 Several cancers had incidence rates inversely correlated
with BCC and/or SCC when adjusted for smoking. This study led to an ecologic study of cancer mortality rates in Spain that used NMSC as the index of solar UVB irradiance.
26 A total of 17 types of cancer
were inversely correlated with NMSC in a linear regression analysis. However, when latitude and lung cancer mortality rate, the index used for smoking, were used with NMSC in a multiple linear regression analysis, bladder and renal cancer were no longer significantly corre-lated with NMSC.
59 Then a study of solid tumor development after
diagnosis of BCC, SCC or melanoma for sunny and less sunny coun-tries was reported.
29 For three countries equatorward of 40°, incidence
of solid tumors is reduced after diagnosis of BCC or SCC, whereas for countries poleward of 40°, incidence is increased. The interpretation is that in the sunny countries, people can expose enough skin to produce sufficient vitamin D to reduce the risk of cancer, whereas in the less sunny countries, not enough skin is exposed.
124
Summary and Conclusion
The solar UVB—vitamin D—cancer theory now satisfies most,
if not all, of the criteria for causality in a biological system as initially postulated by Robert Koch and expanded by A. Bradford Hill. Thus, from a scientific point of view, vitamin D reduces the Plausibility. The mechanisms whereby vitamin D reduces the risk
of cancer are generally well known. These mechanisms include effects on cells such as improved differentiation and apoptosis, as well as effects at the tumor level such as antiangiogenesis
101 and antimetas-
tasis.102 One can find thorough reviews in several reports.107-110
Grant recently proposed that vitamin D, through strengthening
the innate immune system, reduces the risk of viral infections that
lead to cancer. The basis for this hypothesis was that the prostate cancer mortality rate distribution in the United States varies with latitude in a manner similar to that for multiple sclerosis. EBV is an important risk factor for multiple sclerosis.
111 EBV has also
been associated with gastric, prostate and thyroid cancer, as well as Hodgkin’s lymphoma and NHL, with references given in Grant.
76
These cancers, as well as testicular cancer and multiple myeloma, have the square of latitude correlated with mortality rate for 1950–1969, and some do for 1970–1994. Because latitude is an index of wintertime vitamin D production from solar UVB irradiance, and winter is the period of many viral infections such as EBV
112 and
influenza,113 this hypothesis is reasonable. Evaluating this hypothesis
will, of course, require more work.
Coherency (no serious conflict with the generally known facts of
the natural history and biology of the disease). Coherency is gener-
ally satisfied. However, it may not be useful because the Koch and Hill criteria may be more directly related to increased risk due to an agent rather than decreased risk due to a preventive agent.
Experiment. For the association between UVB and vitamin D,
experimentation in general means a randomized, controlled trial. T wo such trials were successful. In one, the primary outcome was fracture incidence, and the principal secondary outcome was cancer incidence.
12 The subjects were 1179 community-dwelling women
randomly selected from the population of healthy postmenopausal women aged more than 55 years in a nine-county rural area of Nebraska centered at latitude 41.4° N. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive 1400–1500 mg of supplemental calcium/day alone (Ca only), supplemental calcium plus 1100 IU of vitamin D3/day (Ca + D), or placebo. Between the end of the first and fourth years, those taking both calcium and vitamin D had a 77% lower all-cancer incidence than those taking the placebo. Thirty-five percent of the cancer risk reduction was attributed to vitamin D, with the rest to calcium.
Because of the study’s short duration, one might question the
Lappe et al.
12 study. However, a response might be that vitamin D
is much more effective in reducing the risk of cancer in the later
stages than in the earlier stages, unless through combating infections that could lead to cancer. Survival for breast, colorectal and pros-tate cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma in Norway is better for those diagnosed in summer or fall rather than winter or spring,
13 thereby
providing evidence for a greater benefit at the later stages of disease.
In a reanalysis of results of 400-IU/day vitamin D supplemen-
tation in the Women’s Health Initiative Study, among women concurrently assigned to placebo arms of the estrogen trials, calcium plus vitamin D indicated suggestive benefits (HR = 0.71, 95% CI, 0.46–1.09; p
estrogen interaction = 0.018).105
Another line of experimental verification is to study the role of
vitamin D on cancer by using animal models.114-116 For example, in
a colon cancer xenograft experiment, vitamin D metabolites slowed tumor growth.

 of the
past. As a young adult I could always think of something more interesting to do than sitting on a pot, besides it was messy a nd
sometimes accompanied by embarrassing sound effects which were definite ly not romantic if I was in the company of a young
man. During two pregnancies the tendency to constipation was aggravated by the weight of the fetus resting on an already slug gish
bowel, and the discomfort of straining to pass my first hard bowel movement  after childbirth with a torn perineum I won't forget.

Rapid Relief From Colon Cleansing
    During fasting the liver is hard at work processing toxins released from fat and other body deposits. The liver still dumps i ts
wastes into the intestines throug h the bile duct. While eating normally, bile, which contains highly toxic substances, is passed
through the intestines and is eliminated before too much is reabsorbed. (It is the bile that usually makes the fecal matter s o dark in
color.) However, reductio n of food bulk reduces or completely eliminates peristalsis, thus allowing intestinal contents to sit for
extended periods. And the toxins in the bile are reabsorbed, forming a continuous loop, further burdening the liver.
    The mucus membranes lining th e colon constantly secrete lubricants to ease fecal matter through smoothly. This secretion does
not stop during fasting; in fact, it may increase because intestinal mucus often becomes a secondary route of elimination. Al lowed
to remain in the bowel, toxi c mucus is an irritant while the toxins in it may be reabsorbed, forming yet another closed loop and
further burdening the liver.
    Daily enemas or colonics administered during fasting or while on cleansing diets effectively remove old fecal material sto red in
the colon and immediately ease the livers load, immediately relieve discomfort by allowing the liver's efforts to further det oxify
the blood, and speed healing. Fasters cleansing on juice or raw food should administer two or three enemas in short su ccession
every day for the first three days to get a good start on the cleansing process, and then every other day or at very minimum,  every
few days. Enemas or colonics should also be taken whenever symptoms become uncomfortable, regardless of whether you  have
already cleaned the colon that day or not. Once the faster has experienced the relief from symptoms that usually comes from a n
enema they become more than willing to repeat this mildly unpleasant experience.
    Occasionally enemas, by filling the c olon and making it press on the liver, induce discharges of highly toxic bile that may cause
temporary nausea. Despite the induced nausea it is still far better to continue with colonics because of the great relief exp erienced
after the treatment. If nause a exists or persists during colon cleansing, consider trying slight modifications such as less or no
massage of the colon in the area of the gall bladder (abdominal area close to the bottom of the right rib cage), and putting slightly
less water in the col on when filling it up. It also helps to make sure that the stomach is empty of any fluid for one hour prior to the
colonic. Resume drinking after the colonic sessions is completed. If you are one of these rare people who ‘toss their bile', just keep
a plas tic bucket handy and some water to rinse out the mouth after, and carry on as usual.

Enemas Versus Colonics
    People frequently wonder what is the difference between a colonic and an enema.
    First of all enemas are a lot cheaper because you give the m to yourself; an enema bag usually costs about ten dollars, is available
at any large drug store, and is indefinitely reusable. Colonics cost anywhere from 30 to 75 dollars a session.
    Chiropractors and naturopaths who offer this service hire a colonic  technician that may or may not be a skilled operator. It is a
good idea to find a person who has a very agreeable and professional manner, who can make you feel at ease since relaxation i s
very important. It is also beneficial to have a colonic therapist who massages the abdomen and foot reflexes appropriately during
the session.
    Enemas and colonics can accomplish exactly the same beneficial work. But colonics accomplish more improvement in less time
than enemas for several reasons. During a colonic f rom 30 to 50 gallons of water are flushed through the large intestines, usually in
a repetitive series of fill -ups followed by flushing with a continuous flow of water. This efficiency cannot even be approached with
an enema. But by repeating the enema thr ee times in close succession a satisfactory cleanse can be achieved. Persisted with long
enough, enemas will clean the colon every bit as well as a colonic machine can.
    Enemas given at home take a lot less time than traveling to receive a colonics at s omeone's clinic, and can be done entirely at
you own convenience --a great advantage when fasting because you can save your energy for internal healing. But colonics are
more appropriate for some. There are fasters who are unable to give themselves an enema  either because their arms are too short
and their body is too long and they lack flexibility, or because of a physical handicap or they can't confront their colon, s o they let
someone else do it. Some don't have the motivation to give themselves a little discomfort but are comfortable with someone else
doing it to them. Some very sick people are too weak to cleanse their own colon, so they should find someone to assist them w ith
an at -home enema or have someone take them to a colonic therapist.
    Few pe ople these days have any idea how to properly give themselves an enema. The practice has been discredited by
traditional medical doctors as slightly dangerous, perhaps addictive and a sign of psychological weirdness. Yet Northamerican s on
their civilized, low fiber, poorly combined diets suffer widely from constipation. One proof of this is the fact that chemical
laxatives, with their own set of dangers and liabilities, occupy many feet of drug store shelf space and are widely advertise d. Is the
medical pro fession's disapproval of the enema related to the fact that once the initial purchase of an enema bag has been made
there are no further expenses for laxatives? Or perhaps it might be that once a person discovers they can cure a headache, st op a
cold dead in its tracks with an enema, they aren't visiting the M.D.s so often.
    The enema has also been wrongly accused of causing a gradual loss of colon muscle tone, eventually preventing bowel
movements without the stimulation of an enema, leading finally to  flaccidity and enlargement of the lower bowel. This actually
can happen; when it does occur it is the result of frequent administration of small amounts of water (fleet enemas) for the p urpose
of stimulating a normal bowel movement. The result is constant  stretching of the rectum without sufficient fluid to enter the
descending colon. A completely opposite, highly positive effect comes from properly administered enemas while cleansing.
    The difference between helpful and potentially harmful enemas lies in the amount of water injected and the frequency of use.
Using a cup or two of water to induce a bowel movement may eventually cause dependency, will not strengthen the colon and may
after years of this practice, result in distention and enlargement of th e rectum or sigmoid colon. However, a completely empty
average -sized colon has the capacity of about a gallon of water. When increasingly larger enemas are administered until the colon
is nearly emptied of fecal matter and the injection of close to a gallo n of water is achieved, beneficial exercise and an increase in
overall muscle tone are the results.
    Correctly given, enemas (and especially colonics) serve as strengthening exercises for the colon. This long tubular muscle is
repeatedly and completely  filled with water, inducing it to vigorously exercise while evacuating itself multiple times. The result is
a great increase in muscle tone, acceleration of peristalsis and eventually, after several dozens of repetitions, a considera ble
reduction of trans it time. Well -done enemas work the colon somewhat less effectively and do not improve muscle tone quite as
much as colonics.
    Injecting an entire gallon of water with an enema bag is very impractical when a person is eating normally. But on a light
cleansing diet or while fasting the amount of new material passing into the colon is small or negligible. During the first few da ys of
fasting if two or three enemas are administered each day in immediate succession the colon is soon completely emptied of rece ntly
eaten food and it becomes progressively easier to introduce larger amounts of water. Within a few days of this regimen, injec ting
half a gallon or more of water is easy and painless.
    Probably for psychological reasons, some peoples' colons allow water to be injected one time but then "freeze up" and resist
successive enemas. For this reason better results are often obtained by having one enema, waiting a half hour, another enema,  wait
a half hour, and have a final enema.
    A colonic machine in the hands of an expert operator can administer the equivalent of six or seven big enemas in less than one
hour, and do this without undue discomfort or effort from the person receiving the colonic. However, the AMA has suppressed t he
use of colonics; they are illegal to administer in many states. Where colonics are legal, the chiropractors

A Silent Prayer
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
t. s. eliot
It is mid-afternoon on the 20th of March 2020, and a silent, invisible intruder
has brought humanity to a standstill. Almost overnight I have cancelled all
live speaking engagements for the foreseeable future and have transferred my
activities online. My first online retreat, with five hundred people from
around the world, will shortly begin.
     When holding a meeting or retreat, I do not plan what I am going to
say. I often sit quietly in an attitude of unarticulated prayer that my under -
standing, such as it is, might formulate itself in response to the moment.
And this is no ordinary moment.
     I check my emails, and my attention is attracted to one whose subject is
World Happiness Day. A friend has sent me a message letting me know that
today, the Spring Equinox, has, since 2006, been designated by the UN an
international day of happiness, in honour of the understanding that ‘the hap -
piness, well-being and freedom of all life on earth is the ultimate purpose of
every human being, nation, and society’. *
     How poignant and how ironic, when the world finds itself plunged into
a crisis which will bring untold distress and hardship to so many people, that
this day should be consecrated a day of happiness, well-being and freedom.
     The familiar objects, activities and relationships that we take for granted
are rapidly being removed from us: the freedom to earn a living, to socialise
and to travel, a plentiful supply of food and goods in shops, education for
our children and grandchildren, and security for our future.
* See https://www.dayofhappiness.net.you are the happiness you seek
     But what about happiness? Can it be given and withdrawn? If so, by whom
or what? What is its cause? Is it something that is taken in from the outside,
or does it originate within us? Is there such a thing as lasting peace and happi -
ness, or is this destined to alternate with suffering for the rest of our lives?

These questions have troubled the minds of innumerable people for thou -
sands of years, and as I ponder them I recall the first time they formulated
themselves in my mind. It was 1980  and I was twenty years old, living on
the edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall in the South West of England, study -
ing pottery with Michael Cardew, then eighty years old and one of the
founders of the British Studio Pottery movement.
     It was a somewhat monastic existence, and in many ways life at Wenford
Bridge – Michael’s home and pottery – resembled an apprenticeship with
an old Zen master. However, I had a friend, and, although we rarely saw
each other due to the remoteness of my circumstance, her presence in my
life was a source of consolation and happiness.
     Every Friday evening after dinner, I would walk a mile or so up the hill
to the phone box on the edge of the village of St. Breward, beneath which
the pottery was situated, and call my companion. It was something of a ritual
whose anticipation and memory, as much as the event itself, sustained me
throughout the week.
     On this occasion, the quality of her first ‘Hello’ conveyed everything
I needed to know. The brief conversation that ensued simply confirmed it.
Little did I know then that her parting words were to be one of life’s great
gifts to me.
     Later that night, lying awake in bed, as the initial wave of confusion and
sorrow began to subside, I kept asking myself how a person can be the source
of happiness one moment and the source of misery the next. For the first
time in my life, I became acutely aware of the extent to which I had invested
my happiness in my circumstances, in this case in a relationship.

I had already been interested in spiritual matters for some time, and since
my mid-teens had been studying philosophy and practising meditation in
the Vedantic and Sufi traditions at Colet House in London, under the gui -
dance of Dr. Francis Roles. However, this event injected intensity and
urgency into my interest; it became a passion.
2introduction
     It was obvious that I loved happiness above all else. It was also clear that
nothing objective is certain or secure, and clearly does not unfold according
to one’s own wishes and expectations. And now the absurdity and futility of
investing one’s desire for lasting happiness in objective experience was ines -
capable. I fell asleep that night with a simple question in my mind, ‘How
may one find lasting peace and happiness?’
     Almost exactly forty years later, circumstances are again demanding this
question be addressed. However, on this occasion it is not just my personal
circumstances that have precipitated the question in my mind, nor is it in -
dividual happiness that is at stake. It is the shared circumstances of each one
of us that requires a response, and our collective happiness that is calling for
attention.
     The universe had responded to my silent prayer. Our online retreat began
with this question, and the exploration of it evolved into this book. It is my
hope that this book will take you from your self, who seeks happiness,
to the happiness that is your self.

The Search for Happiness
Happiness, being found to be something final and
self-sufficient, is the end at which all actions aim.
aristotle

we seek happiness above all else

Imagine a survey in which all seven billion of us were asked what we want
in life above all else. Most of us would respond that we desire better health,
increased income, an intimate relationship, improved living conditions,
a family, better work or preferably no need to work at all, and so on. Some
of us would ask for less tangible things: enlightenment or knowledge of God.
Whatever our priorities, most of us would select from a relatively short list
of possibilities.
     However, if a second question then asked why we desire what we do,
almost all of us would respond, in one way or another, that we seek the
object, substance, activity, circumstance or relationship because we believe
it will bring us peace and happiness.
     In other words, what we really long for is not a particular experience for its
own sake, but for the peace and happiness that we believe we will derive from it.
If we knew that the house we were about to buy, the person we were about
to marry, the journey we were about to embark on or the job we were about
to begin would make us miserable, we would no longer want it. We wish for
these things only insofar as they are considered a source of happiness.
     Even those who voluntarily undergo great hardship for the sake of
a moral, political, religious or spiritual ideal do so ultimately for the sake
of happiness, even if, in extreme cases, that happiness is postponed until
after death.
     The desire for happiness is, therefore, the driving force in most of
our lives.  you are the happiness you seek
This longing for happiness takes us on a great adventure in the realm of
objective experience. By ‘objective experience’ I do not refer to physical
objects alone but to any experience that has some kind of form, including
all thoughts, images, feelings, sensations, perceptions, activities and rela -
tionships.
     Although any of these may seem to afford moments or periods of happi -
ness, sooner or later they come to an end, the old dissatisfaction resurfaces
and the search begins again.
     Once the search in the conventional realm of objective experience has
failed to deliver lasting happiness sufficiently often, many people turn to a
religious or spiritual tradition. In this case, the goal, however we may con -
ceive it, is the same: peace, joy, fulfilment, contentment or wholeness. Only
the means have changed. Even those of us who seek enlightenment on a
spiritual path, or God on a religious path, do so only on account of the peace
and happiness we believe we will derive from it.
     If someone were to ask us whether we would prefer to be enlightened or
happy, we would obviously choose happiness. If we believed that enlighten -
ment would bring us misery, we would never seek it. It is only because it is
believed that enlightenment will bring happiness that we are willing to devote
our lives to seeking it. Likewise, if we believed that knowledge of God would
make us miserable, no one would seek God.
     The only reason we were seeking enlightenment or God in the first place
was that all other possible sources of happiness had failed us thus far. It is
often as a last resort that we turn to the search for enlightenment or God,

Preface

This book will expose the myths and falsehoods while
revealing the
 truths
about water quality and its relationship to health
and longevity
.

Think of what you need to merely survive. Food? Water? Air? Cell
phones? Obviously, by the book
’
s title, I
’
m going to
concentrate on
 water.
Water is of major importance to all living things;
in some
 organisms, up to
90% of their body weight comes
from water
. Up to 60-70% of the human
body is
water;
 the brain
is composed
 of over 70-72% water, and the lungs
nearly 90%.
Lean muscle
 tissue contains about 75% water by weight, as
is the brain
; body
 fat contains 10-12% water and bone has 20-22% water.
About 83% of our blood is water, which helps digest our food
, transport
waste, and control body temperature. Each day
humans must
 replace 2.5
to 3
quarts of
 water lost through the excretory  system,  with most of it
replaced through drinking, and the rest  from our foods.

So it only stands to reason that the quality and quantity of
water we
replace daily has a direct bearing on our health and longevity.
I will be sharing many statistics and facts in this book while reiterating
some of what I already said in several chapters. We all learn from
repetition, therefore it has been said that the best speakers, teachers and
preachers will tell you what they
’
re going to tell you, then they will tell you,
and then they will tell you what they told you. So you hear it three times!

CHAPTER 1
What Is Distilled Water?

Why is it that water (H
2
O), which is the second
simplest

substance

next to
oxygen (O), seems to be much too complicated for some medical doctors
to
figure out? Not only is water number two in importance,
 it also happens
to be the most important next to oxygen for our survival. For the survival
of the Earth, for that matter. All living things require water to survive and
without a continuous supply, the average human will perish in only a few
days.

Water is required for our bodies to produce blood, lymph, digestive
juices,
lubric
ants, bile, extracellular fluid
 and cytoplasm, the fluid inside the plasma
membrane. It is common knowledge that most municipal and private water
supplies are severely polluted with everything from chlorine,
trihalomethanes, nitrates, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals and
chemicals of every kind, to jet fuel
and pharmaceuticals. Consider
 the factthat since the government established
“
the priority pollutant list
”
 of 126
known cancer-causing chemicals:

Each year the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reviews an
average of 1,700 new compounds that industry is seeking to
introduce. Yet the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act requires
that they be tested for any ill effects before approval only if
evidence of potential harm exists—which is seldom the case for
new chemicals. The Agency approves about 90 percent of the
new compounds without restrictions. Only a quarter of the
82,000 chemicals in use in the U.S. have ever been tested for
toxicity. And there are no guidelines for so called “safe” levels in
drinking water established for any of these pollutants.

Some of
these pollutants can be found in every water supply
in
America
,
including rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, wells,
and municipal
water supplies.
David Ewing Duncan, National Geographic
 As a consequence of this alarming condition of America
’
s drinking water
sources, the bottled water industry has developed into a $15 billion profit
industry, including bottled waters, sports drinks, water purifiers such as
reverse osmosis (RO)
,
 distillation, filtration, plus the current fad of ionizers
that produce “alkaline” water.

ONE OUT OF 4 DRINKS CONSUMED
IN AMERICA IS A SOFT DRINK!Let’s talk about filtration and distillation.

FILTERS:
  Regardless of the process or the technology behind it,
the
main
 purpose of these devices is to produce the cleanest, purest
,
healthiest
 water possible. The most commonly used method
for cleaning
up tap water is the carbon block filter which removes
the water’s
 bad
taste, smell, chlorine, nitrates and many chemicals.  It is
,
 indeed
,
 the most
economical form of water treatment available
; however
, it comes with
several serious drawbacks:



It does not remove all chemicals present;


Chemicals can build up in the filter to dangerous concentrations
which end up in your body if you don
’
t change the  filter
regularly;


A carbon filter is a breeding ground for bacteria and germs;


The filter can develop channeling from water taking the path of
least resistance.
Therefore, unfiltered water can pass
straight through the
filter, unobstructed.

The second most popular and effective filter system is reverse osmosis.
The RO process involves a special membrane which most pollutants
cannot pass through, in addition to prefiltering and post-filtering, to ensure
that 99% of the pollutants are removed.

The most effective process of rem
oving everything from the water,
including bacteria and cysts
,
 is steam distillation – along with
a post
-
carbon filter to catch any resid
ual volatile gases that escape
with the
steam. Because distilled water is pure, clean H
2
O and
has a
 pH of 7
(neutral on the pH scale of 1 to 14 with “1” being
acid and
 “14” alkaline), it
is used in science and medical
laboratories and
 research facilities
including biology and chemistry
lab
s due
 to
its pure neutral qualities.

Unlike with RO and distillation, filtration and the ionizers do not remove the
hardness or inorgan
ic minerals from the water.

                                                                According to Dr. Charles Mayo of the Mayo Clinic and the American
Medical Association, Harvard Medical School, along with many doctors
and  nutritional experts, have determine
d that very few of the minerals
found
 in water are
organic
,
 nor are they chelated
or
able  to be absorbed
easily
by our cells and tissues. Consequently,
 they contribute to many
ailments and
diseases related
 to the intestinal tract. They also contribute to
kidney stones
, gall stones, hardening of the arteries and plaque buildup
in
the
 colon. Dr. Charles M
ayo, Founder of the Mayo Clinic, said,
“
water
hardness
”
 is the underlying cause of many, if not all, of
the diseases
resulting from poisons in the intestinal tract.

These (hard minerals) pass from the intestinal walls and get into the
lymphatic system, which delivers all of its products to the blood which, in
turn, distributes to all parts of the body. This is the cause of much human
disease. Since the ionizers and filters do not remove the minerals from the
water (including chemicals and other toxins), advocates, manufacturers
and sales associates malign the use of reverse osmosis and the distillation
process.

They claim that the minerals in water are good for you and that these two
processes remove the
“
valuable
”
 minerals. They also go so far as to say
that because reverse osmosis and distilled water is so pure, they will leach
good minerals from your body, depleting the supply. Promoters of alkaline
water even say that distilled water is an acidic which causes it to dissolve
even more minerals.
Distilled has a pH of 7 (neutral).

The alkaline water industry is now extremely profitable and has become so
by making false medical claims that
this
water can cure a myriad of
diseases and prevent many others. In order to support their claim that
alkaline water is superior to any other purified water, they must find fault
with the two purest and healthiest water purification processes available.
The main reason for the popularity of the alkaline water machine is
because of the exorbitant profits and the fact that it is sold through multi-
level marketing (MLM). Each machine retails at between $2,000 and
$5,000.Can clean water and dirty water both flow from the same spring?

There are medical doctors such as Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Zoltan
Rona who also promote an

only is urine a sterile body compound (purer than distilled water), but that it
is now recognized that urine contains literally thousands of compounds.

If you have been told that by taking those vitamins, minerals and
alternative care products have the most expensive urine,
they may have been right.
Now however, if you become a urine therapy practitioner,
you will reuse and get every dollars worth.
It wont go down the toilet and you will get 100% of every
mg. taken and never get sick, from colds to incurable disease.
I knew I could save you the cost of this course right for the get-go.
28 News reports have been told of individuals who have both lived and died
by being trapped in places without food and water for days.
Those that survived have survived because they drank their own urine,
those that perished did not.
Those that died could not overcome societies educational thoughts
that urine is a waste product of the body. It's dirty. It's unclean.
It smells and has ammonia that would be toxic to the system. It's not.
It's only a substance the body releases that contains wholesome, clean,
sterile elements not needed at the time of release.
Despite what you may have been led to believe about urine,
pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of dollars from the sale
of drugs made from urine constituents as eye remedies, cosmetics,
and heart regulators.
Research is ongoing in labs worldwide attempting to isolate specific
elements of urine so they can create new drugs and patent those
substances.
Examples...
Pergonal is a fertility drug made from human urine.
In early 1990s, yearly sales of this drug reportedly grossed the drug
companies at $855 million while it costs a patient $1400 a month to
consume
Urokinase, a urine ingredient, collected free to those who collect urine
through 10,000 U.S. port-a-johns. Then it is used in drug form and sold as a
miracle blood clot dissolver for unblocking coronary arteries.
Premarin, sold to women mostly for hormone therapy is 100%
pregnant mares urine. { See writeup on Premarin farms in this course }.
There are hundreds of horse farms in Canada and the USA that raise
pregnant Mares for their urine and when the foal is born it is auctioned and
normally sold for meat {very tender} to Japan. Big bucks.
Read section on Premarin in later chapter.
Urea, medically proven to be one of the best moisturizers in the world, is
packaged in expensive creams and lotions.
Delete the M in Murine eye drops and Bingo, you have urine.
It's made from carbamide -another name for synthetic urea.
Urine is a powerful healer and to get some understanding of how urine can
be such a powerful healing substance by itself, let's take a look at how
urine therapy has been known to completely eliminate allergies.
Researchers have discovered that allergic responses are caused by
"renegade" white blood cells that inappropriately attack substances even
when they may be no threat to the body. So it is the activity of these
renegade white blood cells, called antigen receptors that needs to be
corrected in order to cure the allergy.
29 In 1982, studies published by Dr. William Linscott
(in Basic and Clinical Immunology) showed that when these antigen
receptors (or renegade white blood cells) are reintroduced into the body,
the body actually developed antibodies to these antigen receptors,
and the antibodies then stopped the allergic response.
Realizing that the urine of allergic individuals contains the allergy causing
antigen receptors, researchers thought that to re-introduce the urine back
to the allergic individual would mean antibodies would be produced which
would then stop the allergic response. That in fact is exactly what happens.
Allergies have been completely turned around with urine therapy.
Using urine in this way to cure the allergy, is one form of isopathic
treatment. You're using the same substance that is causing the allergy, to
be reintroduced to the body making the body manufacture its own
antibody. If you understand this point, you may be able to see the ability of
this therapy to be used in just about any illness the body may experience.
Now let's take the idea of urine therapy and expand it to a biological
framework. Urine therapy has been able to cure seemingly
incurable disease states. Why?
Could it be the colloids in your blood that are the protits and somatids, are
very small particles. So small as to be unfilterable by something as the
kidneys. Though researchers may not have been looking, it is probable that
one of the constituents of urine are these colloid particles that naturally
just get passed through the kidneys out of the blood. When one consumes
their own urine through the process of urine therapy, they are receiving a
dose of these pure colloids. These biologically proceed to support the
immune function, and possibly lead to taking the pathogenic microbes in
the blood down to apathogenic states.
In this way, urine truly becomes the body's own perfect medicine.
DO NOT R£FVSE THlS THERAPY lf' VOV WANT
HEALTH..
Don't take this therapy lightly.
Multiple sclerosis, heart conditions, cataracts, colitis, aids, lupus,
rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, hyperactivity, pancreatic
insufficiency, psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, herpes, mononucleosis, adrenal
failure, allergies and so many other ailments have been relieved through
use of this therapy.
After you overcome your negative response to becoming a practitioner,
you will realize that something big is going on, and if you are searching for
health, this is an area to investigate seriously for this is where it is.
30 There are numerous reports and double blind studies which go back to the
turn of the century supporting the efficacy of using urine for health.
The medical research done to date on urine indicates that it is completely
sterile. It only becomes contaminated once leaving the body.
Urine is a by-product of blood filtration, not waste filtration.
Urine contains compounds that are specific to each individual personally.
It is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antineoplastic (anticancer),
anticonvulsive, and antispasmodic. It is totally non-toxic.
With research that could fill volumes, you may be wondering why you
haven't heard of this before.
Well, urine is abundant (everyone supply is unlimited), it's free,
It can't be controlled by the FDA and the AMA. Understood. Ka Ching.
How do we become a practitioner?
1 }. Use your own urine in a homeopathic fashion.
First, collect midstream urine in a clean cup or container.
Do not use plastic.
Glass, china, porcelain, bone, gourd, silver or gold is favorable.
This should be a clean catch, meaning the genital area
(important for women in particular) has been cleaned beforehand.
To 1/6 ounce of distilled water in sterile bottle, add 2 drops of fresh urine.

 State Religion? Various  suggestions
have been put forward.  One is that homoeopathic  medicines  are very
inexpensive.  Also a homoeopath  does not require  the services, except
very rarely, of all or any of the assistants  towards diagnosis  to whom
the allopath nowadays  resorts.  All t his means that less money  is spent
by the patient under  homoeopathic  treatment  than under  allopathic  134
 treatment.  Nor do homoeopaths  advocate large  scale "preventive"
iAeasures.  They  do nct say: "As any one might  possibly catch small pox,
diphtheria,  typhoid, tetanus, scarlet fever, or what not, he or she must
take homoeopathic  prophylactics  against one or all of these diseases,"
for hotmoeopaths  know  that the best  preventative  against all such
diseases is a heai'hy body.  Moreover,  it is 'time enough to talk  about
prophylactics  when people have actually been in close  contact  with
smallpox or whatever  it may  be. Thus, if homoeopathy  became  the
State Medical Creed,  serum  manufacturers  would no longer be able to
buy an old horse for eighteen pounds and  make thousands  of pounds
profit  out of the unfortunate  animal.
And where will it all end? It began with smallpox vaccines, and  then
vaccines for other diseases were also boosted, and so on it may go until
"preventatives"  are advocated  for almost every imaginable  type of
ailment. But what state the human  blood  will be in after it has been
inoculated  with all these poisons does not bear thinking about. Sir
Almroth  Wright, a pillar of the orthodox Medical Profession,  stated that
the entire "belief in serum therapy  rests on a foundation  of sand. "Dr.
Benchetrit  even went so far as to say that he considered  vaccines and
sera  to be chiefly responsible  for the increase, of those two really
dangerous  diseases, cancer and  heart disease.  And what is more,  he
added: "I have been for a long time a serologist,  and  I know  what I am
talking about." As for Dr. Beddow Bayly,  he wrote: "So great is the
almost mystical veneration  in which antitoxic sera are held by medical
science,  and  so powerful the commercial  interests which  benefit by
their extended  use,  that it has come to be regarded as a breach of
medical etiquette  to criticise adversely  this form of treatment,  or to 135
 report untoward  results of it. " What extollers of the vaccine treatment
omit  to mention when they  triumphantly  assert that smallpox was
practically  wiped  out in the West by this  means, is that smallpox is a
dirt‐disease, and  that the science of hygiene has vastly improved  since
the days when it was rampant.
Even so, the great Dr. Sydenham,  who pooh‐poohed vaccination,  said
that smallpox was  quite a simple illness to cure,  provided  the patient
was properly nursed.
In view of all this, we may  well  ask whither  Medicine?  " Is the law going
to force the public to submit  to alleged‐to‐be immunisations  against
this or that disease when the medicos themselves  are not even agreed
that such measures  are right, or dare  not agree that they  are wrong?
And presuming  that immunization  does not actua'ly become
compulsory,  that is not going to prevent the authorities  from
persuasively  warning an innocent  public against the "dangers " of not
submitting  to it. At one time The Church persuaded  innocent people
that if they did not bow down to her, they  would have to burn in Hell
for an eternity! But though the autocracy  of the clergy is now more  or
less  a thing of the past, unless we are very firm in asserting our
democratic  rights, we may  be faced  with an even worse  form of
autocracy,  and  that is the autocracy  of what goes under  the name of
Science. And I say advisedly  "goes under  the name," because whilst
true Science  endeavours  to understand  the Laws of Nature,  false
science tries to improve upon Nature  under  the assumption  that man
knows better than Dame Natur'  herself. Thus not only is our  soil
interfered  with but  also the human  body.  Dogmatic  surgeons  have
declared that tonsils, the  appendix and  even the gall‐bladder are 136
 useless organs, and therefore  should be extirpated  in order to prevent
them from  becoming  diseased!  It is only a comparatively  short  time ago
that medical "scientists"  told us that  the pineal  gland and  the pituitary
bony were also useless organs‐and this, merely  because they  had as yet
found no special reason for their existence  in the  human  brain.
Fortunately  for man, they  could not be Excised  without  killing the
patient!
 And yet, are the doctors entirely to blame  for the existing state of
affairs? Certainly a large  number  of individual  doctors find themselves
in a difficult position, Rot many of them admit that they  do not believe
in filling their patients with "pills and potions." But so much has the lay
public been influenced  by prevailing  fads  and  fashions that its all too
ignorant members  demand  "the latest  and most up‐to‐date

won’ t agree to the people-pleasi ng games anymore. Instead, people will
start to reflect our desire to heal! Or reversed, people who expect you to
play the same games will react when you stop using this habitual way of
interacting. These are just event s to observe, but not to get hung up on. The need to be liked is of the ego. Spirit-inspired courtesy  doesn’ t
require that approval from others, rather it encourages you to follow your
heart. The ego is saying that you cannot just wake up to happiness and
peace because there are other  people to deal with whom you are
responsible for. The fear of letting someone down is tied with believing
that you are someone in the world and part of someone else’s dream. The
truth is that you are the dreamer of the dream in its totality. Moving Toward True Empathy
Through conditioning, it is believed normal and even expected to
empathize with someone around a perceived problem if something bad
happens to them or if they are sick. When wearing the mask of a kind
person, you will use phrases like, “Oh, that is terrible! You poor person! Oh, I cannot believe that happened to you! Is it not a shame? Is it not too
bad?” It’s commiserating with something that’s just an error in
perception. So, being “kind” this way is actually an attempt to make the
error real, to join in error. Trying to understand and let others know how
sorry you feel for them quite frankly is another way of saying, “I’m
better of f than you.” This is not true empathy, but a false way of joining. Problems can never really be understood. They just need to be seen
as they are—an  error in thinkin g, an error in perception, coming from
false beliefs or guilt, and so forth. To have true empathy is to align withthe truth  in your mind and in another. It brings your perceptio n to the
Holy Spirit’s interpretation. It’s starting to see things from the Holy
Spirit’ s perspective. Practicing true empathy can be challenging because there are so
many temptation s. When we want to fix or change somebody or when
we want a situation to be a certain way, we can be sure that we have
fallen into the trap of false empathy and people pleasing. When we do
that, we are actually hoping to change an outside circumstance in order
to resolve an inner conflict in our own mind. It doesn ’t matte r if you are talking to your mother, your wife or
husband, your child, your neighbor, or someone you met on the street or
in a restaurant. Practice by aligning with the strength of love and truth in
you and allow yourself to relate to another from that place. From this
perspective, you will recognize the love and truth in the other, which is
usually truly empowering for them. They will feel safe with you. This is how we build true and deep relationships. I have heard
people say that practicing true empathy helps them find real friends, ones
who are willing to look at their own minds and join in a healing journey. They also share that sometimes friends who only wanted their false
empathy have fallen away. Imagine living your whole life from a very intuitive, guided place
where you only want the highest  good for everyone, which includes your
own happiness and freedom. From this place, you don’t try to smooth
things over or make things work out. Sometimes issues come up, in job
situations for example. Something just doesn’ t feel right, ethically or
morally, yet because of a fear of being fired, you find yourself doing
certain things against your true will. Rather than taking a deep look at
your belief in an outside authority, you may do things because you think
you must or should. Fear of particular future events and outcomes,
paired with past conditioning, dominate your thinking. You have been
trained to live for an outside world, to please, to do good, to succeed. As your mind matures, you will find yourself starting to question
this conditioning and find that you want a more inspired and loving way
to live. You will no longer want to appease the external world out of fear.Learning to follow your true heart’ s calling will not necessarily please
everyone on the planet, but that shouldn’ t hold you back! Giving from Your Heart
The opposite of people pleasing is true giving. What differs is your
motive. True giving is motivate d by joy, an overflow of inspiration, and
a desire  to extend. We all know how it gets in interd ependent
relationships, where you are walking a fine line, trying to keep the
balance of give-and-take. You need to wash away this idea of reciprocity
by truly giving the love that’s in your heart without expectation and
without exception. To do so, let go of the fear that you could lose something. Let go of
the belief that you need special affiliations with certain people or groups. When you get in touch with your truly inspired purpose, things may fall
away, but it will not matter, as you will feel that you have outgrown
them. You don’t have to try to stretch anything or compromise,  and you
don’t have to play to the crowd. Follow your passion and your calling—
that strong feeling of what it is that you have to give and how to extend
it. This draws the mind away from past patterns and associations. It is
very freeing. The story of Jesus shows us how to do this. Jesus had an attitude of
love and respect without people pleasing at all. He had only true
empathy and true compassion. I cry when I read the sermons Jesus gave. I cry when I see how he was interacting with his fellow human beings,
no matter who they were or what they seemed to have done. We are all
touched by how he treated the Samaritan woman at the well and the
prostitute that they caught and were ready to stone. Most human beings deal with a lot of compliments and criticisms as
part of daily life. Even though Jesus was living with the twelve apostles,
he never said, “Hey James, I like that haircut,” or “Hey Peter, that’s a
beautiful robe you’re wearing. Hey John, where did you get those
sandals? They look great!” We laugh at that because those aren’ t Jesus’ s
words. Yet, we often buy into compliments and criticisms in our own
life. Compliments are generally judged to be positive, and the criticismsare nega tive. But Jesus and the Holy Spirit draw away from  both of
those, from judgment into a state of perfect equality, a state of grace. We see in the world exactly what we project from our unconsc ious
mind. Everything we think is teaching the whole universe what we
believe we are and what we believe it is. Every single thought, every
single word, and every single action is teaching. It’s as if you were
broadcasting or live streamin g to the entire cosmos all the time. Projection make s perception. The world reflects your consc iousness. This is why, in order to dismantle your people-pleaser habit, you need to
go through a purification of consciousness, where you begin to realize
how powerful your mind is. Jesus had gone through this purification; that’s why he is an
example. I see him as a representation, a demonstration of the highest
that we can attain in awareness. Jesus wasn’ t struggling and getting into
all kinds  of conflicts and competitions; he didn’ t compare and contrast or
fight against anything. He had a presence that radiated, and this is a
wonderful example of our natural state of mind—of gentleness,
kindness, friendliness, openness, and love, all the things we would
expect from a living demonstration of Spirit. It’s in the day-to-day,
moment-by-moment living attitude that we can demonstrate that pure
love too. Years ago, when I started undo ing people pleasing and practicing
true empathy, I noticed that guidance was essential. I’d be getting into
these deep mystical states while  meditating, and my mother would invite
me to family dinners and different things. I would usually be guided to
respond with something like, “Thank you very much for thinking of me;
thank you so much for inviting me.” The graciousness of the Spirit was
always there with a thank-you, and then, “No, I don’t think I’m going to
be coming.” Or sometimes it would even be, “I’ll just have to be in the
moment. I will let you know.” I was living more in the moment instead
of doing a lot of planning. I was allowing myself to be spontaneous and
just let the Holy Spirit guide me moment by moment. I started  to more
and more consistently follow what I truly felt was in my heart. By letting go of the people- pleaser role, you step into your
authenticity, your true nature. You have integrity, having gone through aprocess of discernment. You are going to say no at times. You need to
say no to loved  ones. Are you ready? Are you prepared? If you really
want to move beyond the ego’s defenses, beyond people pleasing, get
ready to say no to loved ones—as guided. And get ready to say yes—as
guided. When you say no, let the Holy Spirit say it through you. It will
usually come out something like
