products created as the body's attempts to digest the indigestible, or those tasty items I've heard called "fun food." Add to  that
burden the ruinous effects of just plain overeating.
The waste products of digestion, of indigestion, of cellular breakdown  and the general metabolism are all poisonous to one degree
or another. Another word for this is toxic. If these toxins were allowed to remain and accumulate in the body, it would poiso n itself
and die in agony. So the body has a processing system to elimi nate toxins. And when that system does break down the body does
die in agony, as from liver or kidney failure.
The organs of detoxification remove things from the body's system, but these two vital organs should not be confused with wha t
hygienists call t he secondary organs of elimination, such as the large intestine, lungs, bladder and the skin, because none of these
other eliminatory organs are supposed to purify the body of toxins. But when the body is faced with toxemia, the secondary or gans
of elimina tion are frequently pressed into this duty and the consequences are the symptoms we call illness.
The lungs are supposed to eliminate only carbon dioxide gas; not self -generated toxic substances. The large intestine is supposed
to pass only insoluble food solids (and some nasty stuff dumped into the small intestine by the liver). Skin eliminates in the form
of sweat (which contains mineral salts) to cool the body, but the skin is not supposed to move toxins outside the system. But  when
toxins are flowed out  through secondary organs of elimination these areas become inflamed, irritated, weakened. The results can
be skin irritations, sinusitis or a whole host of other "itises" depending on the area involved, bacterial or viral infection s, asthma.
When excess t oxemia is deposited instead of eliminated, the results can be arthritis if toxins are stored in joints, rheumatism if in
muscle tissues, cysts and benign tumors. And if toxins weaken the body's immune response, cancer.
The liver and the kidneys, the two h eroic organs of detoxification, are the most important ones; these jointly act as filters to purify
the blood. Hygienists pay a lot of attention to these organs, the liver especially.
In an ideal world, the liver and kidneys would keep up with their job fo r 80 years or more before even beginning to tire. In this
ideal world, the food would of course, be very nutritious and free of pesticide residues, the air and water would be pure, pe ople
would not denature their food and turn it into junk. In this perfect  world everyone would get moderate exercise into old age, and
live virtually without stress. In this utopian vision, the average healthy productive life span would approach a century, ent irely
without using food supplements or vitamins. In this world docto rs would have next to no work other than repairing traumatic
injuries, because everyone would be healthy. But this is not the way it is.
In our less -than-ideal world virtually everything we eat is denatured, processed, fried, salted, sweetened, preserved; thus more
stress is placed on the liver and kidneys than nature designed them to handle. Except for a few highly fortunate individuals blessed
with an incredible genetic endowment that permits them to live to age 99 on moose meat, well -larded white flour b iscuits, coffee
with evaporated milk and sugar, brandy and cigarettes (we've all heard of someone like this), most peoples' liver and kidneys  begin
to break down prematurely. Thus doctoring has become a financially rewarding profession.
Most people overbur den their organs of elimination by eating whatever they feel like eating whenever they feel like it. Or, they
irresponsibly eat whatever is served to them by a mother, wife, institution or cook because doing so is easy or expected. Eat ing is a
very habitua l and unconscious activity; frequently we continue to eat as adults whatever our mother fed us as a child. I consider it
unsurprising that when people develop the very same disease conditions as their parents. they wrongly assume the cause is gen etic
inher itance, when actually it was just because they were putting their feet under the same table as their parents.
Toxemia also comes about from following the wrongheaded recommendations of allopathic -inspired nutritional texts and licensed
dietitians. For exam ple, people believe they should eat one food from each of the four so -called basic food groups at each meal,
thinking they are doing the right thing for their health by having four colors of food on every plate, when they really aren' t. What
they have actu ally done is force their bodies to attempt the digestion of indigestible food combinations, and the resulting
indigestion creates massive doses of toxins. I'll have a lot more to say about that later when I discuss the art of food comb ining.

* Standard dietitians divide our foods into four basic food groups and recommend the ridiculous practice of mixing them at every meal. This
guarantees indigestion and lots of business for the medical profession. This chart illustrates the actual food groups. It is usually a poor practice to
mix different foods from one group with those from another.

The Digestive Process
    After we have eaten our four -color meal --often we do this in a hurry, without much chewing, under a lot of stress, or in the
presence of negative emotions --we give no thought to what becomes of our food once it has been swallowed. We have been led to
assume that anything put in the mouth automatically gets digested flawlessly, is efficiently absorbed into the body where it
nourishes our cells, with the waste products being eliminated completely by the large intestine. This vision of efficiency may exist
in the best cases but for most there is many a slip between the table and the toilet. Most bodies are not optimally efficient  at
performing all the required functions, especially after years of poor living habits, stress, fatigue, a nd aging. To the Natural
Hygienist, most disease begins and ends with our food; most of our healing efforts are focused on improving the process of
digestion.
    Digestion means chemically changing the foods we eat into substances that can pass into the blood stream and circulate through
the body where nutrition is used for bodily functions. Our bodies use nutritional substances for fuel, for repair and rebuild ing, and
to conduct an incredibly complex biochemistry. Scientists are still busily engaged in t rying to understand the chemical mysteries of
our bodies. But as bewildering as the chemistry of life is, the chemistry of digestion itself is actually a relatively simple  process,
and one doctors have had a fairly good understanding of for many decades.
    Though relatively straightforward, a lot can and does go wrong with digestion. The body breaks down foods with a series of
different enzymes that are mixed with food at various points as it passes from mouth to stomach to small intestine. An enzyme  is a
large, complex molecule that has the ability to chemically change other large, complex molecules without being changed itself.
Digestive enzymes perform relatively simple functions --breaking large molecules into smaller parts that can dissolve in water.
    Digestion starts in the mouth when food is mixed with ptyalin, an enzyme secreted by the salivary glands. Pylatin converts
insoluble starches into simple sugars. If the digestion of starchy foods is impaired, the body is less able to extract the en ergy
contained in our foods, while far worse from the point of view of the genesis of diseases, undigested starches pass through t he
stomach and into the gut where they ferment and thereby create an additional toxic burden for the liver to process. And ferme nting
starches also create gas.
    As we chew our food it gets mixed with saliva; as we continue to chew the starches in the food are converted into sugar. Ther e
is a very simple experiment you can conduct to prove to yourself how this works. Get a plain piece of bread, no jam, no butter,
plain, and without swallowing it or allowing much of it to pass down the throat, begin to chew it until it seems to literally  dissolve.
Pylatin works fast in our mouths so you may be surprised at how sweet the taste gets.  As important as chewing is, I have only run
into about one client in a hundred that actually makes an effort to consciously chew their food.

True Early Signs of Cancer:
The true early signs of cancer are the signs of inadequate protein metabolism. They
are:
• Gas on the stomach or bowel
•Sudden weakness of the eyes
•Tired feeling most of the time
•Muscle weakness and cramps — first in the back, then in the chest
• Extreme mental depression
•Sudden change in hair texture or color
• Development of various hernias (only in slow-growing tumors)
•Confusion — difficulty in making even simple decisions
I  had cancer for more than three years before the true nature of the problem ever
dawned on me. At the height of the cancer, I  supposedly had about two months to
live. If I  had not discovered God's Laws concerning cancer and applied them very
diligently, I  would not be here to share this information.
168
Winning The Cancer War
With few exceptions, by the time one discovers he has cancer he has had it for a
very long time. This was my situation. Now that I  really know all the true early signs
of cancer, I  also know that I  was being warned many months before my case became
clinical.
From time to time, I  would notice belching just a little gas, but I  didn't give it much
thought — just supposed I  had eaten a little too much. Eventually, I  began to pass gas
from the bowel, a little at first and finally so much that it was embarrassing to me and
also my family.
My First Warning
My hobby was antique automobiles. On one trip the family made to Colorado in our
1923 Cadillac, I  noticed that at dusk I  found it difficult to read the road signs. I  had to
be right up to them before they became legible. I  still didn't have the good sense even
to suspect I  had cancer, and didn't give the matter much more thought until two
months later when I  was showing some slides to the Antique Automobile Club. I
couldn't seem to get the pictures in focus. I  thought I  had damaged my camera, but
the club members said the pictures were very clear and that I'd better have my eyes
checked. Finally, I  gave in and made an appointment with the ophthalmologist for an
eye examination. To my horror, he prescribed trifocals. My protests were for naught,
and I  could see my pictures and road signs much better.
My Second Warning
Things went on about the same for several months, until I  began to notice that if I  sat
in one position for more than twenty minutes I  would have muscle aches, particularly
in the back. My physician finally gave me a muscle relaxant, after I'd visited him
several times with the same complaint. I  was still too naive to suspect cancer. The
medication didn't help much, and in another month or so I  began to have pains in my
chest. This of course upset me considerably, and I  rushed to the physician once more.
Over the next few months, several electrocardiograms were made and nothing out of
the ordinary showed, it couldn't, because the pain was from the chest muscles — a
frequent sign of cancer — but as usual, I  was oblivious to the true early warning
signs.
My Third Warning Went Unheeded
A long, long horrible period of mental depression followed — another true warning
sign that cancer was rearing its ugly head. I  went to the physician again and
practically begged for help, asking for an antidepressant drug or anything that would
help alleviate this chronic, severe depression. By this time, he was fed up with me
169
Winning The Cancer War
and my complaints and he sat me down and carefully explained that there was
nothing wrong with me. My heart was better than his, and it was high time that I  stop
worrying about it; after all, it was only in my mind!
As cancer progresses, it gives off a toxin that makes one extremely depressed, and
there is a feeling of impending death a good part of the time. Gradually, during the
entire three years of early cancer growth in my body, I  became weaker and weaker.
By this time, I  knew something very tragic was taking place, but I  didn't know what,
and still didn't have any suspicion that it might be cancer.
My job, the work I  loved so very much, became distasteful. I  wanted to give it up and
start a new profession — anything to attempt regaining an interest in life. After all the
many years of college training for a job I  loved to do, I  was seriously contemplating
junking it all. After eight years of clinical practice and research, I  found myself ready
to throw in the towel. It was a terrible feeling to be so sick and not be able to
understand why or put a name on it. My thinking became fuzzy, unclear and
irrational.
A Fourth Warning — and still not an inkling in my mind what the culprit might be!
During these many months of severe depression, my hair began showing signs of
lifelessness, becoming brittle and coarse. I  was losing some, and what was left was
fast becoming gray.
Warning Five also escaped my attention!
Also, at this time, I  developed a hernia. This is typical of a person with malignancy,
since the malignancy is accompanied by muscle deterioration. Warning Five also
escaped my attention!
My Sixth Warning:
By this time I  was feeling so bad that I  reluctantly returned to my physician. He finally
admitted that there might be something wrong and sent me off to an internist. After
the passing of three month's time, during which the Beard Anthrone Cancer test had
proved extremely positive and I  had undergone many other tests and diagnostic
procedures including X-rays, the internist finally suggested biopsies of my pancreas,
liver, and intestines. He suspected that these operations would reveal cancer.
Although the biopsies were not performed, the physician's suspicions were correct.
My wife was privately told not only that I  had tumors in all three organs, but also
that in the doctor's opinion I  had no more than 18 months to live. And though I  had
begun to suspect the worst, another month passed before I  myself learned of all the
170
Winning The Cancer War
facts. Meanwhile, the chief surgeon in our locale had ruled out full-scale surgery
because he thought I  was in such bad shape that I  wouldn't make it off the operating
table alive. My wife had been told to take me home and get our affairs in order as
promptly as possible, for it wouldn't be long before I'd pass away.
Ironically, though I  had been doing cancer research for several years, it had never
occurred to me that I  could have it myself. I  guess I  was just like thousands of people
who think it can happen to someone else — but not to them. Only the cancer victim
can understand the fear and despair that finally overwhelmed me. This hit me harder,
probably, than it would have the average person, because I  had been studying and
researching the details of cancer and had a firsthand insight into that horror of
horrors.
Since early childhood, I  experienced a deep and abiding interest in all facets of
medicine and I  had spent much of my life studying anything and everything I  could
find in the field. I  had spent two and one-half-years with the military medics and
fourteen years working my way through college in hospitals doing everything from
running electrocardiograms to assisting in surgery — viewing firsthand the complete
gamut of medical practices and witnessing the tragic decline and ultimate death of
hundreds of hopeless cancer victims.
With this great deal of knowledge about the medical community's various
approaches to cancer, I  knew that in spite of all the propaganda fed to the general
public about success rates with certain treatments, there were actually very few
people who survived the medical establishment's chemicals, surgical procedures, and
radiation treatments. I  didn't want to be another one of its statistics.
As soon as I  realized my true situation, I  decided not to take any new patients and
prayed that I  would be granted time to complete the work with the patients already
under my care. It took me about two weeks to overcome the terrific shock and to
wrestle with my fate.
After days of intensive thought and prayer, I  decided not to accept the fate of an
early death. Instead, I  accepted life and my duty to seek out God's Laws concerning
cancer and, if possible, apply them to myself and teach them to others.
My doctors had considered performing surgery on me, but they didn't think I  would
make it through the operation. I  was so near death. God, in his infinite wisdom, had
another path for me. Not being able to have surgery turned out to be a great blessing,
but of course I  didn't see it that way at the time. The only thing I  could do then was
regulate my diet. My life hung in such a delicate balance (another blessing), that I
could feel very clearly the effect of each food I  ingested. If I  ate wrong foods, I  could
171
Winning The Cancer War
very easily tell it by the way I  felt.
As time


 child has to
be.
• Being embarrassed by a child’s, spouse’s, or parent’s behavior,
as if what they are is a part of what you are.
• Being in training  all of your life for a job or position. Never
leaving the training phase for self-reliance.
• Being hurt by what others say, feel, think, or do.
• Only feeling happy or successful if your mate is feeling that
way.
• Taking orders from someone.
• Allowing someone else to make decisions for you, or always
asking advice before deciding.
• “You owe me, look what I did for you.” The obligations that go
with being dependent.
• Not doing something in front of a parent or dominant person
because they wouldn’t approve. Not smoking, drinking, swearing,
eating a hot fudge sundae, or whatever, because of your submissive
role.
• Giving up on your own life when a loved one dies, or becomes
seriously ill.
• Using careful language around a dominant person, so that he
won’t be upset with you.
• Persistently lying about your own behavior, and having to distort
the truth so that “they” won’t be upset with you.
The Psychological Compensation of Dependency
The reasons for hanging on to this self-thwarting behavior are not
very complicated. You may know the payoffs for being a dependent,
but do you know how destructive they are? Dependency may appear
harmless, but it is the enemy of all happiness and fulfillment. Here
are the more common dividends for keeping yourself in a dependent
state:204 / Your Erroneous Zones• Being dependent can keep you in the protective custody of
others, and give you the little child benefits of not being responsible
for your own behavior.
• By staying dependent, you can blame your shortcomings on
others.
• If you are dependent on others, you don’t have to undertake
the hard work and risk of change. You are secure in your reliance
on others who will take responsibility for you.
• You can feel good about yourself because you are pleasing oth-
ers. You learned that the way to be good is to please Mommy, and
now many symbolic Mommies manipulate you.
• You can avoid guilt which you choose when you behave assert-
ively. It is easier to behave than to learn to eliminate guilt.
• You needn’t make choices or decisions for yourself. You model
yourself on the parent, spouse, or individual on whom you depend.
So long as you think what they think or feel what they feel, there’s
no need for the hard work of determining what you think or feel.
• When everything else is boiled away, it is just plain easier to be
a follower than a leader. You can do what you’re told and avoid
trouble, even though you may not like the way you feel as a follower.
It’s still simpler than taking all those risks that go with being your
own person. Dependency is distasteful because it makes you into
less than a whole, independently functioning person. But it is easier,
that’s for sure.
A Prospectus for Ridding Yourself of Dependency
• Write your own Declaration of Independence in which you spell
out for yourself how you want to function in all relationships, not
eliminating compromise, but wiping out any manipulation without
representation. “I, the person, in order to have a more perfect union,
etc.”
• Talk with each person that you feel you are psychologically
dependent upon. Declare your aims of functioning indepen-DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE  / 205dently, explain how you feel when you do things out of a sense of
obligation. This is an excellent strategy for getting started, because
the other may not even be aware of how you feel as a dependent.
• Give yourself five-minute goals for how you’re going to deal
with dominant people in your life. Try a one-shot “No, I don’t want
to,” and test the reaction of your reaction in the other person’s.
• Arrange a planning session with your dominant partner at a
time when you are feeling unthreatened. During this session, explain
that you sometimes feel manipulated and submissive and that you
would like to arrange a nonverbal signal to let the other person know
how you are feeling when it crops up, but that you don’t want to
discuss it at that time. A simple tugging of the ear or a thumb in the
mouth to signal you’re feeling submissive at a particular time.
• At the moment you are feeling shoved-around psychologically,
state how you feel to the person, and then act out the way you’d like
to behave.
• Remind yourself that parents, spouses, friends, bosses, children
and others will often disapprove of your behavior, and that has
nothing to do with who or what you are. It is a given fact in any re-
lationship that you will incur some disapproval. If you expect it,
then you won’t be thrown by it. In this way you can break many of
the dependency-ties that enslave you emotionally.
• Even if you are deliberately avoiding dominant people (parent,
spouse, boss, child), you are still being controlled by them in their
absence if you are experiencing emotional immobilization because
of them.
• If you are feeling obligated to visit certain people, ask yourself
if you would want others to visit you simply because they felt re-
quired to do so. If not, extend a similar courtesy to those you are
treating in this manner, and talk it out with them. That is, reverse
the logic and see how undignified a relationship of obligation really
is.206 / Your Erroneous Zones• Make a decision to get out of your dependency role by doing
volunteer work, reading, getting a baby-sitter (even if you can’t af-
ford it), getting a job that doesn’t necessarily even pay well. Why?
Simply because the remuneration of your own high self-esteem is
worth whatever the price it costs in money or time.
• Insist on financial independence with no strings, and no account-
ing to anyone. You are a slave if you must ask for money. If that is
impossible, arrange to make your own money in any creative way
that you can devise.
• Let them go! Let yourself go! Stop giving orders! Stop taking
orders!
• Recognize your desire for privacy and not having to share
everything you feel and experience with someone. You are unique
and private. If you feel you must share everything then you are
without choice, and of course, a dependent.
• Let a child’s room be his. Give him an area that he can control,
and, as long as it’s not unhealthy, allow him to make decisions about
how it will be organized. A made bed is not any more psychologic-
ally sound than an unmade bed, even though you may have learned
the opposite.
• At a party, congregate with people away from your partner.
Don’t feel responsible to be with that person at all times. Split up
and then join forces when it is over. You’ll double your learning and
experience.
• If you want to go to a movie and your partner wants to play
tennis, do it that way! Allow yourself more separateness, and your
moments of togetherness will be happier, and more exciting.
• Take mini-trips alone, or with friends without having to feel
attached to your partner. You’ll feel more strongly toward your
partner when you come back, and you’ll treasure your independent
functioning as well.
• Keep in mind that you have no responsibility to make others
happy. Others make themselves happy. Thus, you may truly enjoy
the company of another, but if you feel it is yourDECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE  / 207mission to make them happy, then you are a dependent who will
also feel gloom when the other person is down. Or even worse, you’ll
feel as though you let him down. You are responsible for your own
emotions and so is everyone else. No one has control over your
feelings, except you.
• Remember that habit is no reason to do anything. Just because
you’ve always been submissive to others is not sufficient justification
for allowing it to continue.
The business of effective living and parenting is independence.
Similarly, the hallmark of effective marriage is minimal fusion and
optimal autonomy and self-reliance. And while you may feel real
fear about breaking away from dependent relationships, if you asked
those upon whom you are emotionally dependent, you would sur-
prisingly discover that they most admire those who think and act
for themselves. More irony. You get the most respect for being inde-
pendent, particularly from those who try the hardest to keep you
subordinate.
The nest is a beautiful place for a child to develop, but nest-leaving
is even more beautiful and can be viewed that way by the one leav-
ing, as well as the one watching the takeoff.208 / Your Erroneous ZonesXI
FAREWELL TO ANGER
The only antidote to anger is to eliminate the internal sentence, “If
only you were more like me.”
Is your fuse too short? You may accept anger as a part of your life,
but do you recognize that it serves no utilitarian purpose? Perhaps
you’ve justified your short-fuse behavior by saying things like, “It’s
only human,” or “If I don’t express it, then I’ll store it up and have
an ulcer.” But anger is probably a part of you that you don’t like,
and needless to say, neither does anyone else.
Anger is not “only human.” You do not have to

Washing
Wash the exterior of the body by means of washing the hair
with or without a showercap. Also the washing of the face, neck, hands,
and any body part that you have need to be kept clean, soft, pliable,
and aiding in the loss of wrinkles.
Next morning you will see your hair SHINE, your face feel new,
skin tight, radiant, and that was only the first day.
My suggestion is two weeks first time straight.
After you may go on one week on and one week off.
Any moles, scrapes, cuts, freckles you may want to reduce in size or color,
or possibly lose, every night continually until you reach your goal.
For those who are diabetic and have bruises or cuts that won't heal...
Moisten as many times per day the areas as you would have time for.
At night place a wet, thin gauze pad on top of your scraps or cuts.
If they are on your feet, wear your socks on top and put into ready for wash
area in morning. If you get up during night, hey what a better time then now
to rewet your washcloth or gauze again.
It will cut your time for new skin developing from one month to one week.
If you are in serious condition and it would normally take six months
for new skin, your development time will be approximately six weeks.
This is not only research, I was a diabetic and had cuts and bruises. I know.
Shower in the morning or wash face and body parts with water only.
Soap is not necessary and is contraindicated for plush skin.
We will get into use of fresh urine as a cologne or perfume later.
This is not the greatest part of the therapy. It can be used.
A slap of new fresh warm urine will bring out the pheromones from
The body and this is what the cosmetic companies have been trying for
years to perfect. They can't do so for personally it's your pheromones
That do the sexual attraction and it must be used warm as it first comes out

Some women have mixed their special perfume with warm fresh urine.
A few drops will do. Don't go crazy.
Yes I understand. Your thinking, "what a jerk".
Don't try it. I know a lot of women and men that have tried it and it works.
Remember, fresh, warm, few drops, and bingo. Check it out.
For this one I'm sure you will not tell your best girlfriend.
Remember, your life should not always be an open book.

Drinking
Thinking, Is he serious? You bet I am.
This is where it gets scientific, medicinal, and the Pharmaceutical
companies get "pissed" more than we do because we get our
pharmaceuticals free and natural and NEVER toxic to our system NEVER.
{Unless we are full of drugs, pharmaceutical or reacreational}.
Plus, we are not guessing at what's wrong.
We take our liquid in the morning and what we can't use in our body
immediately gets expelled for a new body assimilation later in the day.
However this time the body is recreating a host of
vitamins, enzymes, minerals itself and from the foods we have consumed
ready for reabsorption· into our cells from the drinking.
There are more than a dozen hypothetses relating to the re-absorption.
Lets look at a few.
1}. Nutrients
By drinking or massaging with urine, we possible re-use and re-absorb
many vitamins, salts, amino acids, hormones, and so forth as nutrients.
Vitamin 81 {Thiamin}, Vitamin 82 {Riboflavin}, Vitamin 86, Vitamin 812,
And many others.
2}. Hormones
Hormones are powerful molecules which once produced may cause
complete alteration in the balance of body processes, personality,
emotions, and state of mind. After the years of 40 to 50 there may be a
hormonal imbalance which now in this new age there are millions and
millions given" Premarin", a prescription drug short for

Yes you read correctly. Pregnant female horse urine.
So why pay for animal hormone therapy when you can not only have


I ha d already been putting notes from everything I was
learning in a folder on my computer that was entitled “My
Next Bo ok.” It was an intuiti ve sense that inspired me to
record e verything I was discovering, in the hope that I could
eventually share it with the world. Those cherished notes,
when I had finished collating them, became the foundation of
this book.
Just two months after discovering the truth through David
Bingham, I met someone else w ho was to have an enormous
ef fect on my life, and on the creation of this book. She walked
into a room I wa s in at a retreat, and when I walked up to talk
to he r, h er prese nce had such a profound ef fect on me that any
trace of negativi ty from my entire lif e was gone in an instan t!
She had  been a s tudent of one o f my all-time favorite teachers,
the late Robert  Adams. I kne w instantly that she was my
teacher, the one who would hel p me fully realize and live the
truth in this lifet ime, and she has remained my teacher for the
past four years. Her teachings are straightforward, beautifully
simple, and she never hesitates to tell me if I’m going in the
wrong direction. While her name remains anonymous at her
request, I have shared many of her life-changing teachings that
propelled my life into one of constant joy and happiness. My
deepest wish is that they will do the same for you.
She, along with the other teachers featured in this book, helped
lead me  out of the darkness of ignorance by illuminating this
one discovery. Every one of them helped me to understand the
truth that I had  discovered more deeply and to live from it
more fully, and the love I feel for them is infinite. Their words
that changed my life forever are featured throughout this book.
W ith every step you take throug h this book, you will become
happier and your life will become more ef fortless, and that
happiness and ef fortlessness wil l continue to increase without
any end. Any fear and uncertainty of the future will no longer
plague you. Any anxiety and str ess about your daily struggles
or w orld events will dissolve. Y ou can be free of every form ofsuf fering that you might be experiencing right now. And you
will be.
While there are certainly some  huge revelations throughout
these pages, there are also many simple practices to
immediately put  those revelations into practice. The practices
alone ar e worth  their weight in  gold. I know. I am the living
proof of how well they work.
The Secr et  showed  you how to create anything you want to be,
do, o r ha ve. Not hing has changed—it is as true today as it ever
was. Th is book reveals the greatest discovery a human being
can ever make and shows yo u the way out of negativity,
problems, and what you don’ t want, to a life of permanent
happiness and bliss.
It sim ply doesn’ t get any better than this. It is my greatest joy
to welcome you to The Gr eatest Secr et.C h a p t e r  1
Hidden in Plain Sight
Of t he billions of people on our planet, only a few have
discovered the truth. Those few are completely free from the
turmoil and negativity of life and live in permanent peace and
happiness. For the rest of us, whether we realize it or not,
we’ve been in se arch of this truth unceasingly every single day
of our lives.
Despite the fact that this great secret has been written about
and alluded to by many great sages, prophets, and religious
leaders throughout history, the majority of us still remain
ignorant of the single greatest discovery we can ever make.
Among those who have share d this discovery with us are
Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu,  Jesus Christ, Y ogananda,
Krishnamurti, and the Dalai Lama.
While they each have dif ferent teachings that were appropriate
for their time, they all refer to the same truth—the truth about
us and the truth behind our world.
“In some religions this truth is expressed less openly and
clearly than in others, but it is nevertheless the truth that lies at
the heart of every religion.”
Michael James, fr om  Happiness and the Art of Being
This gre at secret  is in plain view for every one of us to see. It’ s
closer to  us than our very breath, yet we’ve missed it! Ancienttraditions knew that to hide a s ecret it should be put in plain
sight, wh ere no one will think to  look for it. And that’ s exactly
where The Greatest Secret lies.
“Thus it  is referred to in the Kashmir Shaivite tradition as ‘the
greatest secret, more hidden than the most concealed and yet
more evident than the most evident of things.’”
Rupert Spira, fr om  Being A ware of Being A ware
W e’ve missed the truth for thou sands of years because we’ve
not looked at what is right in front of us. W e’ve become easily
distracted by our problems, the drama in our lives, the
comings and goings of the ev ents in the world, and we’ve
missed the greatest discovery we can make that is right here
before u s—a discovery that can take us out of suf fering and
into lasting happiness.
What secret can possibly be so life-changing? What single
discovery can ever end suf fering, or bring everlasting peace
and happiness?
Quite simply, a secret that reveals who you really are.
Y ou might think you know who you are, but if you think
you’re a n individual person with a name, who’ s a certain age,
from a particula r race, who has a profession, a family history,
and various life experiences, you will be stunned by the
revelation of who you r eally  are.
“The only way that someone can be of help to you is by
challenging your ideas.”
Anthony de Mello, S.J., fr om  A wareness: Conversations with the Masters
W e’ve all accepted many false ideas and beliefs throughout
our live s, and those false ide as and beliefs have kept us
enslaved. W e’ve  been told that there’ s limitation and lack in
the world—that there’ s not enough money, time, resources,
love, or health: “Life is short,”  “Y ou’re only human,” “Y ou
have to work h ard and struggle to get somewhere in life,”
“W e’re running out of resource s,” “The world is in turmoil,”
“The world needs saving.” But the moment you see the truth,
those mistruths will crumble, and your happiness will arise
from the ruins.Perhaps you’re thinking, “My life is going swimmingly, and so
why would I even want to know The Greatest Secret?”
T o quote the wonderful late Anthony de Mello, S.J.:
“Because your life is a mess!”
Y ou may disagree. I certainly didn’ t think my life was a mess
either until Anthony de Mello defined exactly what he meant.
Do y ou ever ge t upset? Ever get stressed? Ever worry? Ever
feel anxious, of fended, or hurt? Ever feel sad, down in the
dumps, or despondent? Are yo u ever unhappy or in a bad
mood? If you e xperience any of these emotions at any time,
then according to Anthony de Mello, your life is a mess!
Y ou mi ght think it’ s normal to be plagued by negative
emotions throug hout your day, but life isn’ t supposed to be
that way. Y ou can live your life utterly free of hurt, upset,
worry, and fear, and exist in continuous  happiness.
Life is showing us there’ s a way  out of suf fering through every
single challenging circumstance we experience, especially the
very chal lenging circumstances. But we don’ t see it. W e’re
lost in our probl ems, and we miss the very thing that is right in
front of us that is the way out of all problems forever!
“W e se ek happiness in experience after experience,
relationship afte r relationship, therapy after therapy, workshop
after workshop—even ‘spiritual’ ones, which sound so
promising but never address the root cause of suf fering:
ignorance of our true nature.”
Mooji, fr om  White Fire, second edition
Whenever we suf fer, it’ s becau se we’ve believed something
about ourselves that isn’ t true; we’ve mistaken our own
identity. All  of humanity’ s s uf fering comes down to a case of
mistaken identity.
The trut h is, you’re not a person  who has no control over what
happens to you and your life. Y ou’re not a person who has to
slave at a job you don’ t like, o nly to die at the end of it all.
Y ou’re not a pe rson who has to struggle from paycheck to
paycheck. Y ou’re not a person w ho needs to prove yourself or
who needs anybody else’ s appr oval. The truth is, you are notreally a  person at all. Y ou are most certainly


 alway s tries to
solve situations through splitting of f. I call this fragmentation. If a money pit of a house had 142 problems and every one of those
problems were solved, as long as you hold on to a perspective of
fragmentation, there are going  to be more problems. But when the
purpose is changed to peace and to truth, the entire perspective of the
universe is transformed. Even if the problems seem to continue, we will
not expe rience them from a perspective of fragmentation, and we will
not see them as fragmented issues in and of themselves. If we are
focused only on the release of the blocks to peace of mind, we will
experience a flow of guidance as to how to deal with each and every
problem that appears. We will see problems as just a movie script
playing out on a screen, bringing us back to peace. We will no longer
want to give our power away to anything that takes away our peace. Thus, we have completely changed our perspective. Since the problem is in the mind, it can only be resolved in the
mind. The ego made the world to generate specific problems that have
no answers. It generates impossible problems with no true solutions. If we give our mind over to the Holy Spirit and inquire about a
whole new way of seeing—a  new vision—then we’re really going
inward toward the real solution. We are here to come back to a peaceful
foundation and experience. It is very practical. We just need to trust and
be willin g to unlearn things and ideas that we thought were solid facts
about ourselves and the world. The outcome is a tranquil mind. Peace of
mind is not a small gift to yourself—it’ s everything. Can you imagine
what it would be like to be perfectly peaceful, calm, and tranquil always. That is what time is for—to learn just that and nothing more. You can
allow yourself to be open-minded and flexible about things as you get
deeper and deeper into your practice. You can be very allowing and very
peaceful. Setting the Goal to Achieve Peace
There is a sectio n in A Course in Miracles  called “Setting the Goal” that
explains that if you put the goal of peace out in front in each situation,
you will perceive everything and everyone as supporting this goal. Setting the goal of peace is something that we can do at the very
beginning of any activity. The value of deciding for peace in advance is
simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to make it (peace
of mind) happen. This means that perception no longer needs to be the
determiner of our state of mind. When you set your mind in advance, you focus your mind on what
you want. This is the way to use time for healing purpo ses. The
separated mind believes in the past, the present, and the future even
though the etern al now is really  all there is. Believing that problems are
caused by past events pander s to the ego’s idea of separation and
distracts the mind from being present in the moment. Peace is really a
present choice, and believing that past events can affect or prevent you
from experienci ng peace right now is but a defense against the present
moment. When your mind is aligned with peace as your one goal, you
cannot help but see the cosmos as unified and therefore peaceful. This
shows how powerful your mind  really is. It shows how important it is to
focus on what you truly want, on that which is truly helpful to you. Exercise: Choosing Peace of Mind
To listen to a recorded version of this exercise, go to
http://www. newharbinger. com/41870. Make sure you have some time to yourself as this exercise
requires deep inquiry. You may have come to a beautiful place in
your journey with this book, or the journey may have started to
bring up deep beliefs and even discomfort. This is okay and part
of the journey. Sit comfortab ly now. Take a deep breath. Reflect
for a moment on what you have learned from the previous
chapters—guidance, trust, and acceptance—before going  into the
following exercise. Use your journal for free association. 1. Recall a recent situation when you felt stressed, for
example when you were stuck in traffic, at work, or at home
with your family. Now take some time to reflect and ask
yourself these questions: What perspective did I choose in
that situation. Was I choosing pain and conflict, or was I
choosing peace and joy. Recall your thoughts and feelings. Begin to consider that you have options and that you
can always choose again. In order to undo the tendency
to jump into past thinking in stressful situations, this
practice of considering your options rather than being
reactive invites you to be vigilant with your thoughts,
which is imperative when you want to achieve a state of
peace.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

A: The author advises that one must recognize and release their people-pleasing habits, and instead choose to be authentic and honest. They emphasize the importance of aligning with the Holy Spirit and not being controlled by the ego.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>I sometimes tell people who have
someone who’ s not around anymore, “Well, you might as well keep
talking to them because they are still there. You just can’t see them, but
they are still there.” And if you have attack thoughts toward somebody,
you will see that person as the thoughts you have about them. It may feel
like a very foreign idea, but it is within your own thinking that you have
all of your relati onships and your communications. This is why you need
to take great care of what you think and be aware of what  kind of
relationship you have with your thoughts. The way to an increasing awareness of your thoughts is to pay
attention to the way you feel. Not only will your feelings be the
indicators of where you have let your thoughts go, but your external
relationships will also always reflect what is going on in your thinking. This is because your powerful mind communicates all the time.The mind is very powerful, and never loses its creative force. It
never sleeps. Every instant it is creating. It is hard to recogni ze
that thought and belief combine into a power surge that can
literally move mountains. We need to have experiences that show us that we are more than a
body and that we can communicate beyond the body. Sometimes people
will tell me they have a dream where they can fly and experience
freedom. In whatever way is given to us, in whatever way we attract, we
need to have an experience that we are more than a body. There is a lot
of resea rch around near-death experiences and out-of-body experiences
and lots and lots of reports around people who are in comas and
unconscious. If communication were based on the body and certain brain
activity, a coma would seem like a definite break in communication. Yet
over and over, we hear stories of patients who come out of comas and
say things like, “Why did you tell that story about me?” This shows
clearly that communication is not limited to the body. This shows that
we can begin to loosen up from  the idea that we are powerless and go
beyond preconceived limits with our communication. Sometimes we can
even have telepathic experiences. It works more like prayers: you send
out a vibe with your thoughts, then the universe responds to that vibe,
and that is reflected directly in the world around you. This is what I
mean when I say that you communicate all the time. The more we allow for open and transparent communication, the
more we feel our expansiveness. Therefore, this is a very helpf ul prayer
to the Holy Spirit: “Please show me how to use the body and
communication best to expa nd my perception.” This expanded
perception gives us a feeling of a much stronger connection to everyone
and everything. Communing with Spirit in Communication
The Holy Spirit uses the body  for only one purpose, and that is as a
communication device to help the mind regain the awareness that true
communication is through Spirit and that true communication is with the
Creator. Becaus e the mind has fallen asleep and believes in separationand bodies, the Spirit has to use what the separated mind believe s in

Q: What is the primary goal of spiritual evolution, and how does it differ from the ego's perspective?,
A: The primary goal of spiritual evolution is not to achieve a specific state or gain, but to transcend the ego's influence and align with the Self. This is a nonlinear process that cannot be forced or controlled.
Q: Can one truly know and experience the Ultimate Reality without a deep understanding of the concepts and teachings of spiritual truth?,
A: No, one cannot truly know and experience the Ultimate Reality without a deep understanding of the concepts and teachings of spiritual truth. The ego's influence must be transcended, and the self-identification dissolved, in order to access the Ultimate Reality.
Q: What is the relationship between the ego and the concept of God?,
A: The ego's influence must be surrendered, and its dominance diminished, in order to understand the concept of God. The ego's understanding of God is limited and distorted, and its influence must be overcome in order to grasp the true nature of Divinity.
Q: Can the ego's influence be overcome through intellectual understanding and accumulation of knowledge?,
A: No, the ego's influence cannot be overcome through intellectual understanding and accumulation of knowledge. It requires a nonlinear, volitional process of surrender and devotion, which is facilitated by the presence of a Teacher.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Even the ego that ‘should have known better’ actually did not, or it would

Truth is sufficient unto itself, but its explanation and description are
hampered by the fact that the appropriate languaging includes concepts and
expressions that are unfamiliar in daily life. However, words also carry
meaning and significance with associated effects (feelings) that bring up
associated memories. The majority of literature about Self-
Realization/Enlightenment arises from ancient teachings, with additions
over the centuries by well-known sages. The limitations that arise from traditional literature, especially from
ancient times, is that the original truth conveyed was sometimes
misunderstood and misinterpreted, especially when it was handed down
verbally for centuries before being written. In addition, at the time the
information was passed on orally, much of it was conveyed in a nonverbal
and subtle manner, such as gestures, facial expressions, emphasis, volume,
tone and cadence of voice, and body language. At times, all of these are
more important than the actual verbalization. The style of teaching is also
reflective of the teacher’s intuitive estimate of the audience’s capacity for
comprehension. A modern clarification and explanation are therefore of value, as well as
consciousness calibration of the level of truth expressed. Lectures also tend
to be didactic, and therefore, the question-and-answer periods at the end of
the lectures are favored by many students. Some meanings and implications
are best elucidated by the recontextualization of consequence, humor,
paradox, and ambiguity. The questions and answers tend to be less
detached, more informal, and less intellectually challenging. Q: What is the purpose of spiritual writing? A: To provide authenticated information that is not only verifiable but
also experientially pragmatically useful. First, curiosity and the intellect
have to be satisfied; there is a hunger for spiritual information. When it is
not satisfied by the availability of valid information, the hunger creates a
market for spurious spirituality that becomes popularized but is not
serviceable to the student because it is based on imagination. Much valid information is available but it retains the flavor and
languaging of foreign cultures and obscure terminology, such as Sanskrit
terms. When these are translated into English, they still seem archaic and
reflective of ethnicity and foreign cultures and times. For example, the
religious/cultural controversy that arose around the teachings of Meister
Eckhart is not really comprehensible today because it has lost its historical
context. The primary purpose of a spiritual teaching is to provide reliable
information in such a way as to be of practical service and inspiration and to
affirm spiritual truth by subjective declaration. It is necessary that students
be well informed in order to be able to proceed successfully and safely on
their way. Guidelines are like principles of discovery, for that which is
sought is already within. Q: Notable in your writings and lectures is the absence of doctrine or
citing of ecclesiastical authority. A: Truth stands on its own. Scriptural references are primarily for
amplification or familiarity. The inner pathway is experiential and not
intellectual. It does not require glamorization, amplification, resort to
authoritarianism, or any other manipulation to try to impress the student. Historically, no method was available to verify authenticity other than
formal ecclesiastical approval. For example, in the Far East, authenticity
was often inferred by reference to the material as a product of the
authority of a lineage of sages. Due to the statistical rarity of the
enlightened condition, any information about it was considered valuable
as well as unique or special. At the present time, an objective means of identification and
validation of truth is now available through the method of consciousness
calibration. Thus, it is no longer necessary to just depend on reputation,
ecclesiastical authority, official ‘imprimatur’, hearsay, or public image. The chances for being misled are now far less. The mind, on its own, is
an unreliable guide. It is easily misled by glamour, reputation, and
popularity, with their associated enthusiasm and emotionality. The
packaging or promotion of belief systems or teachers has no relationship
to the value of the ingredients. Q: Who is the writer of your works or the speaker at lectures?A: The question itself is in error. It is better to ask ‘what’ rather than ‘who’. In Reality, there is no ‘who’ but instead a suprapersonal quality or
capacity that is autonomous and spontaneous. Intention catalyzes
potentiality’s becoming actuality. The Reality/Source is the Teacher
within, which is the Presence of the Self. Verbalization is the
consequence of the utilization of the intellectual capacity of mind to
subserve Mind. The dominion is that of Mind to which verbalized mind
is merely a pragmatic tool. The Knowingness is nonlinear but its
elucidation is linear for purposes of human communication. However, a
simultaneous nonverbal level of communication occurs that facilitates
comprehension by the listener. This is so via written works and even
more so in the teacher’s actual presence. In the Teacher, the Knower is the Known. In ordinary mentation, the
known and the knower are separate. In a Teacher, the duality of the
Knower does not exist because they are the same by virtue of identity. The Self gives the answer to questions. It does not hear from an ‘other’. The Knower/Self is the initiator/source of the speaker. For example, by analogy, if we ask the cat, “What is it like to be a
cat?” it would be puzzled. It just is what it is and has no need to
objectify itself as a discernible object, so the cat replies saying, “What
does ‘cat’ mean?”
   We answer, “You.”
   The cat responds, “Oh, so that is what I am, or is that what I am
called?”
   We answer, “A cat is what you are called because that is what you
are.”
   “Oh,” says the cat,“but what does that mean?”
   So we read to the cat what is written about cats in the encyclopedia. The cat replies,“That is all very interesting, but it hasn’t anything to
do with who I am. I don’t experience myself as a cat. I experience
myself as ‘me’.” The cat continues, “Please explain what it is to be a
‘me.’ What is it like to be a human?”
   We could only reply, “To be a ‘me’.”
   “Thank you,” says the cat, “now I understand what it is to be a cat. All
I have to do is just be ‘me’.”
   Thus we can see that the cat is both enlightened and of Divine origin,
for ‘to know that you a r e’ is the crux of sentient life. That cat is happyand content just because it i s. It has awareness/consciousness and is
therefore perfect. Q: Are ‘experiencing’ and ‘awareness’ different qualities? A: The question leads to the interesting discovery that below consciousness
level 200, there is the experiencing of life processes, but there is not yet
the conscious awareness of existence. Thus, a frog experiences frog life
but it is not aware yet that it is or has existence or beingness. Both animal and human life change quality at consciousness level
200, where life becomes aware of its existence in the manner that it is. This is a remarkable difference that is demonstrated in the distribution
of the levels of consciousness in the animal kingdom as well as in
human life. It could be said that life is not valued for its own sake below
consciousness level 200, and therefore, the worth of the lives of others
is not valued for its own sake either. It is only beyond consciousness
level 200 that concern for the well-being and value of the lives of
‘


 sum  of  humans  exists  and  protects  us,  in  spite  of  ourselves. Cosmic
intelligence  seeps  through  impenetrable  walls;  signs  and  symbols  of  life  speak  clearly,  if  only  we  would
listen. For  many  years  I  lived  in  Greenwich  Village,  across  from  a  very  small  square. Each  d.w  as  I  walked
past  the  park,  the  pigeons  scurried  about  for  scraps  of  bread  fed  them  by  the  homeless  and  elderly. One  day  as  I  walked  by  all  the  pigeons  flew  away. That  was  the  day  I  discovered  thai  1  had  cancer. [Tie
journey  that  ensued  took  me  through  the  darkly  shadowed  valley  of  my  innermost  sell. My  purpose  in  writing  this  personal  story  is  to  share  my  discoveries  as  a  seeker. (  aiuei  has  been
my  greatest  teacher. Like  a  compass,  it  has  guided  me  toward  the  path  I  have  since  been  treading. It
has  given  back  to  me  my  "memory,"  and  the  ability  to  make  wholesome  choices  and  to  examine  my
motives. In  short,  it  has  taught  me  how  to  be  alert  to  the  significance  of  my  being  here. I  believe  that  no  recovery  is  by  chance. Mine  was  the  result  of  a  deliberate  choice  to  live,  to  make
peace  with  myself  and  to  dissolve  my  cancer,  which  I  had  created  inside  of  me. Before  this  resolve  set
in,  I  went  through  a  dark  period  of  fear  followed  by  a  longer  stage  of  having  blind  faith  m  several  well
recognized  physicians  and  established  medical  institutions. Soon  alter  being  reassured  that   my
jmt. INTRODUCTION
condition  was  benign,  1  learned  it  was  not. It  had
migrated  throughout  the  body  and  taken  firm  root  in
my  liver;  a  malignant  mass  had  also  formed  next  to
mv  kidneys. The  pace  oi  my  physical  failing  was  sim-
ply accelerated  by  the  many  rounds  of  radiation
therapy. An  array  of  baffled  physicians  began  offering
me  various  comfortable  ways  to  exit  the  planet. While  in  the  warm,  false  embrace  of  morphine
following  my  tenth  surgical  operation,  I  understood
that  I  would  most  assuredly  die  unless  I  ran  from
what  was  then  the  fifth  medical  facility. The  raw  truth
had  impacted  and,  for  the  first  time  in  my  life,  I  felt
lost. Years  of  anger  and  frustration,  along  with  pain,
surfaced. Anger  at  allowing  myself  to  be  thrown  against
those  cold  walls  with  no  reprieve;  frustration  with
those  scientific  chaps  who  had  no  regard  for  the  cause
of  my  condition;  pain  from  realizing  I  had  no  choice
but  to  audit  my  life  and  my  agenda  for  it. I  knew  that  I  would  come  face  to  face  with  my
reasons  for  trying  to  kill  myself  at  such  a  young  age. Examining  every  detail  of  my  past  with  a  microscope
was  crucial  to  my  new  agenda — my  recovery  agenda. My  biggest  discovery  in  the  process  was  that  the  real
battles  had  begun  long  before  my  cancer  surfaced. During  this  period  of  soul  searching,  I  had  to  be
extremely  honest  with  myself  and  have  consistency
with  my  disciplines. I  recognized  that  my  cancer  was
born  of  me  and  because  of  me. I  was  the  problem,
and  yet  invariably  also  the  solution. Solitude  was  essential  to  the  primal  probing  of  my
innermost  self. That  winter,  I  isolated  myself  for  three
months  in  a  small  cabin  in  the  undifferentiated  white
of  the  Vermont  winter. If  I  was  going  to  die,  I  had  to
set  certain  things  right  with  myself. As  I  kept  the
wood  fires  burning,  I  ceaselessly  emptied  myself  of
fears,  pain,  hopes,  dreams,  and  disappointments. Days
ran  into  nights  unnoticed  because  of  the  tears. I  un-
derstood how  death  had  become  an  unconscious  so-
lution to  my  grief,  and  how  all  my  actions  had  been
channeled  to  that  end. I  saw  how  well  I  had  manipu-
lated my  life,  and  how  its  successes  had  been  founded
on  an  enormous  myth  of  my  own  construction. I  was  guilty  of  tampering  with  the  subtle  forces  of
my  primal  self. I  had  been  brought  up  in  a  traditional
Hindu  home  in  British  Guiana,  three  generations  re- moved from  mother  India. By  the  age  of  fifteen,  I  had
decided  to  recarve  my  life  to  fit  an  image  of  my  own
choosing. This  action  was  rooted  in  the  false  belief
that  I  had  the  power  to  live  separately  from  the  cir-
cumstances of  a  painful  childhood,  that  I  could  to-
tally replace  the  family,  the  tradition,  the  lineage,  and
all  the  beauty  and  anguish  that  were  an  intrinsic  part
of  my  personal  heritage. In  sum,  I  had  created  a  sec-
ond life. What  I  had  not  counted  on  was  the  factor  of
memory:  the  unerasable  record  of  layer  upon  layer  of
both  resolved  and  unresolved  past  impressions. The
truths  too  painful  to  deal  with;  the  unrealistic  expec-
tations of  myself;  the  childhood  agonies  I  had  run
from;  the  loose  ends  of  family  ties;  the  primal  anger
that  stemmed  from  generations  of  being  uprooted —
all  these  were  stored  intact. They  became  the  fodder
for  my  recovery. This  division  in  myself,  this  second  life,  was  the
primary  reason  for  my  cancer. According  to  the  Vedic
scriptures,  there  are  pursuits  in  life  common  to  all
human  beings:  dharma,  artha,  kama,  and  moksha. Dharma  is  one's  alignment  with  what  is  right  as  de-
fined by  the  universal  laws  of  nature;  artha  is  the
natural  pursuit  of  wealth;  kama  is  the  natural  pursuit
of  pleasures;  and  moksha  is  absolute  freedom  or  lib-
eration from  all  actions  of  artha,  kama,  and  even
dharma. The  cycle  of  rebirth  can  only  end  through
moksha,  when  direct  knowledge  of  the  self  is  known. Moksha,  freedom  from  human  limitation,  is  consid-
ered the  last  accomplishment  of  human  life. Although
the  pursuit  of  wealth  and  pleasure  is  admittedly  a
natural  part


 process. Mix  thoroughly. A  good  ratio  of  these  ingredients  would  be  1  cup
seeds,  1  tablespoon  each  tamari  and  water. Steaming
This  is  an  excellent  method  for  preserving  the  fresh-
ness and  vital  minerals  in  foods. In  India  this  proce-
dure, known  as  bhap  dayana,  is  generally  used  in  the
spring  and  summer. Although  it  may  be  done  through-
out the  year,  steaming  is  not  advisable  in  the  cold
seasons  since  heat  is  not  retained  in  the  food. Steamers — both  of  bamboo  and  stainless  steel — are
available  with  anywhere  from  one  to  four  tiers. Place  a

small  amount  of  water  in  the  bottom  of  a  pan  that  has
a  tight-fitting  lid;  the  water  level  should  remain  below
the  lowest  steam  basket. Add  the  steamer,  filled  with
uncooked  vegetables,  to  the  pan  and  cover. Maintain  a
medium-high  heat  to  keep  the  water  boiling. The  cooking  time  varies  from  7  to  45  minutes
depending  on  the  soft  or  firm  qualities  of  the  veg-
etables, the  cutting  styles  used,  and  the  desired  result. Leafy  greens  and  watery  vegetables  take  about  10
minutes  to  steam;  stalk  vegetables,  such  as  broccoli,
cauliflower,  and  Brussels  sprouts,  take  about  15  to  20
minutes,  as  do  soft  root  vegetables,  such  as  daikon. Hard  root  vegetables,  such  as  carrots,  burdock,  and
potato  chunks,  require  a  deeper  pot  and  more  water;
they  take  about  30  to  35  minutes  to  steam. With  leafy
greens,  be  careful  not  to  oversteam;  ideally,  the  cooked
leaf  should  be  a  vibrant  green. Vegetables  are  best
cooked  just  until  fairly  crisp,  or  al  dente. Sauteing
This  method,  lightly  cooking  a  food  in  a  small  amount
of  oil,  is  ideal  for  most  vegetables. The  freshness  and vital  minerals  are  maintained  in  the  vegetables,  while
the  rich  accent  of  oil  adds  to  the  flavor  of  the  food. Sauteing  requires  much  less  oil  than  frying — a  mere
2  teaspoons  of  oil  being  enough  to  saute  a  handful  of
vegetables. The  addition  of  a  few  teaspoons  of  water
extends  the  effects  of  the  oil  on  the  food. Vegetables
may  also  be  sauteed  in  a  few  tablespoons  of  water,  in-
stead of  oil. If  spices  are  called  for,  they  may  be  sauteed
in  the  oil  before  the  vegetables  are  added. Either  a
heavy  stainless  steel  frying  pan  or  a  cast-iron  skillet,
both  with  a  tight-fitting  lid,  is  required  for  sauteing. Moderate  heat  is  best  for  sauteing. The  cooking
time  varies  from  5  to  25  minutes  depending  on  the
soft  or  firm  qualities  of  the  vegetables,  the  cutting
styles  used,  and  the  desired  result. Place  the  oil  in  the  skillet  and  allow  to  warm  over
medium  heat. Add  the  spices  (if  called  for)  and  saute
for  2  minutes. Add  the  vegetables  and  water  equal  to
the  amount  of  oil  used  and  cook  until  done. Vata
types:  use  1  tablespoon  oil  to  1  handful  of  vegetables;
Pitta  types:  use  2  teaspoons  of  oil  to  1  handful  of
vegetables;  Kapha  types:  use  1  tablespoon  of  oil  to  1
handful  of  vegetables. 191; >m
TRADITIONAL    GROUND
DHALS   AND    GRAINS
n  India,  dhals  and  grains  are  freshly  ground  into  various  textures,  such  as  flours  and  wet-pastes,
for  daily  use. Once  broken,  the  grains  and  seeds  begin  to  lose  their  vital  energy. The  longer  the
time  between  the  processing  and  use  of  ground  dhal  and  grain,  the  more  depleted  their  energy. Freshly  ground  flours  and  pastes  produce  the  most  nutritive  and  wholesome  results. The  grinding
processes  are  very  simple  (see  page  194). Once  you  incorporate  them  into  your  daily  cooking  routines,
you'll  find  it  difficult  to  revert  to  cooking  with  lifeless  flour. Vadai  and  amavadai  are  deep-fried  patties  made  from  ground  dhal  that  have  been  spiced  and
soaked  in  yogurt. Traditional  to  South  India,  the  vadai  are  made  with  urad  dhal  and  the  amavadai  are
made  with  toor  or  chana  dhal. They  are  often  served  at  religious  ceremonies  and  wedding  festivities. Adai  and  othappam  are  also  traditional  to  South  India. Adai  is  made  from  freshly  ground  mung
dhal  and  basmati  rice,  and  othappam  is  made  from  urad  dhal  and  rice. The  dhals  and  rice  are  soaked
and  ground  separately  and  then  combined. The  adai  batter  is  used  immediately,  whereas  the  othappam
usually  ferments  for  one  day  before  use. Othappam  is  also  known  as  dosa,  or  Indian  pancakes. This  traditional  food  is  made  from  a  batter
of  freshly  ground  grains  and  dhals. Dosa  batters  are  usually  fermented,  but  this  step  is  not  required. To  ensure  maximum  nutrition,  a  ratio  of  approximately  2.5  parts  grain  to  1  part  dhal  (beans,  dried
peas,  lentils)  is  used. A  combination  of  different  dhals  may  also  be  used  with  the  grain. Traditionally,  the  grain  used  for  making  dosas  is  rice;  during  the  last  half  of  this  century,  processed
white  rice  has  been  commonly  used. Except  for  white  basmati  rice,  I  do  not  recommend  the  use  of
processed  white  rice;  nor  do  I  recommend  the  use  of  parboiled  rice. In  the  recipes  that  follow,  each
body  type  may  substitute  the  appropriate  grain  and  dhal. Also,  V  types  may  add  a  pinch  of  asafoetida,

S o, what do w e kno w about tur pentine? First of all, there is a company calle d Merck. It is a pharmaceutical company, and Merck
produces something calle d the Merck Manual. The Merck Manual discusses all diseases
that ha v e be en identifie d or the diseases it fe els are most important, and talks about
v arious types of ther apies that are appropriate and accepte d for them. The Merck Manual w as first publishe d in 1899. If y ou look up
turpentine in the 1899 Merck
Manual, it will let y ou kno w that
turpentine ther ap y is effe ctiv e for the follo wing:b’fiT
b’Tf Gonorrheb’Tr
b’Tf Meningitib’na
b’Tf A rthritib’na
b’Tf Abdominal difficultieb’na
b’Tf Lung diseasb’Tk
b’Tf
The list goes on and on and on. Fast forw ard to the 1999 e dition of the Merck Manual (a much thicker book), and look up
turpentine. All y ou will find is discussion of turpentine poisoning. It talks about the dire
effe cts of turpentine poisoning, and it talks about ho w such poisoning causes
destruction of the kidne ys and destruction of the lungs. I can sa y that to my observ ation, I ha v e be en taking it no w for a good 20 y ears and ha v e
observ e d at least 100 pe ople taking it. I ha v e certainly not se en any of those effe cts, and
neither has any one I’m a w are of who has chosen to a v ail themselv es of turpentine. The
reason ma y be the dose. The dangerous dose of turpentine in me dical liter ature is 1
tablespoon. The dose I use d—with great results and minimal side effe cts—is 1 teaspoon. Turpentine is out there. It has be en use d with great success certainly in the 1800s, and
someho w, in the 21st century, there is no kno wle dge of it. There is another pharmaceutical company calle d Parke Da vis. Back in 1901, Parke Da vis
publishe d a similar compendium of a v ailable me dical ther apies and their uses, and y ou
se e turpentine liste d in the Parke Da vis compendium of me dical ther ap y. I am not a w are
that Parke Da vis is still in the publishing business in terms of a comprehensiv e me dical
manual. Nonetheless, these are the areas where turpentine and sugar, as a treatment, has a
definite
tr ack re cord.So, w e ha v e quite a few publications with publishe d
information in the 1800s by the
pharmaceutical companies
themselv es, indicating that turpentine has be en use d to
benefit
in v arious afflictions. N o w, what other inf ormation is a v ai l able about tur pentine? Well, it se ems that turpentine w as in great use in the
v eterinary field, espe cially in the area
of horses. If y ou ga v e a
horse turpentine—and it w as gener ally turpentine and sugar—
then
the horse w ould be faster and w ould ha v e a shinier coat. If
y ou ha v e a sho w horse, for
e x ample, turpentine w ould be of
great adv antage to it—but again, I am not familiar with
turpentine dosing in horses.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

you gave me with the inscription Life Loves You—and I said my gratitudes
out loud to the mirror,” she tells me. “Saying gratitudes out loud is very powerful,” I say.“Yes, it’s much more powerful than just thinking about them,” says
Louise. “I love sharing gratitudes with my daughter, Bo, as she falls asleep at
night.”
“Encouraging children to practice gratitude is so important,” says Louise. “It’s also a lot of fun.”
“If you start the day with gratit ude and end the day with gratitude, your
life will be filled with blessings that you couldn’ t see before,” says Louise. “You can’t know how powerful gratitude is until you start to practice it,”
I say. “Practicing gratitude is always better than you can imagine,” says Louise. “You have to do it in order to experience the miracle,” I say. “Gratitude is a miracle,” says Louise. Gratitude is a spiritual practice. Every time you give thanks for your life,
even if it’s only for green lights and free parking spaces, you take a step
closer to love. Gratitude always takes you in the direction of love. Gratitude
takes you to your heart. Practicing gratitude helps you to cultivate a loving
awareness for your life and for yourself. When you remember to give
thanks you feel blessed, not just for what you have but also for who you are. Practicing gratitude helps you to remember the basic truth I am loveable. The more you practice gratitude, the more you become who you really are. Gratitude is a training in vision. Imagine you’re looking into a mirror and
you’re about to say out loud ten things you’re grateful for in your life at
present. Chances are, if you’ve not done a gratitude exercise like this
before, you might struggle at first. You might even tell yourself that it’s
impossible to name ten things. If, however, you pay attention to your life
and stay close to your heart, you will find ten quite easily. In fact, you will
usually find more than ten. Gratitude brings a new awareness. It transforms
your psychology. It opens your eyes. Y ou see the world dif ferently. Gratitude is a Sacred Yes. When gratitude is easy, it’s a sign that you’re
on track  with your life; when gratitude is difficult, however, it’s a sign that
you need to stop, because you’ve wandered away from yourself and
forgotten what is truly sacred. Practicing gratitude helps you to identify and
appreciate the Sacred Yesses in your life. When you begin the day with
gratitude, as Louise does, you won’t get lost. Gratitude is a prayer that helps
you to stay on track and say yes to what is real. E.E. Cummings wrote a
beautiful poem that begins:i thank Y ou God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
Gratitude expands your awareness. When I told Louise about my sciatica,
she talke d abou t the healing power of gratitude. “At some point you’ll be
grateful for this sciatica,” she said. “I’m not saying that you should be
grateful for it now. It might be too soon. But at some point, you will be
grateful because  you’ll see that this sciatica has a message or even a gift for
you.” After Louise told me this, I did an inquiry in which I completed this
statement ten times: I am grateful for this sciatica because … I found  this
practice so enlightening and helpful. The sensations in my sciatic nerve
soon calmed down to 30 percent and then to 20 percent. Gratitude suppo rts basic trust. Gratitude helps you to suspend your
judgment. It gives you another angle, another way of lookin g at things. “Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you,” I wrote in Be Happy. Sometimes cancellations, rejections, traffic delays, bad weather, and even
more bad weather can come bearing gifts. A layof f, an illness, or the end of
a relationship may well be the start of something wonderful. “We don’t
know what anything is really for,” says Louise. “Even a tragedy  might turn
out to be for our greatest good. That’ s why I like to affirm Every experience
in my life benefits me in some way.”
Gratitude brings you back to now. Practicing gratitude helps you to be
more present in your life. The more present you are, the less you feel like
something is missing. Recently somebody posted this message on my
Facebook page: “You may think  the grass is greener on the other side, but if
you take the time to water your own grass it will be just as green.”
Practicing gratitude helps you to water your own grass. Gratitud e helps you
to make the most of everything as it happens. Gratitude teaches you that
happiness is always now. Our spiritual practice for you in this chapter is called Daily Gratitude. We invite you to stand in front of a mirror and complete the following
sentence ten times : One thing I am grateful for in my life right now is …
Please make sure you do this exercise out loud. Hearing yourself say
your gratitudes doubles the effect. We encourage you to do this vocal
gratitude exercis e once in the morning and once at night for seven days. Remember, these spiritual pract ices don’t work in theory, only in practice.By practicing gratitude now, you step into your life in a whole new way. Gratitude takes you by the hand, and you see even more clearly that you are
loveable and that life loves you. OceanofPDF.comCHAPTER 6
Learning to Receive
There are so many gifts Still unopened fr om your birthday. HAFIZ
W hile we were writing Life Loves You, Louise Hay, at the age of 87, held
her first public art exhibition. The ArtBeat on Main Street  Gallery in
downtown Vista, California, hosted the exhibit. It was called The Art of
Louise Hay  and featured 20 of Louise’ s oil and watercolor paintings. Louise
attended the gallery reception, held on January 25, and people traveled near
and far to see her work. I phoned her the day before the reception to
congratulate her. “I feel very blessed,” she told me. Blessing Buddha  is Louise’ s portrait of the Buddha. It was the
centerpiece of her exhibit. A magnificent oil painting, it stands three feet
tall and two-and-a-half feet wide. A golden Buddha, dressed in saffron and
royal blue, sits in lotus posture upon a lotus throne, which is painted fuchsia
and pink. A halo of white light surrounds the Buddha’ s head. He holds a jar
in his left hand, as in portraits of the Medicine Buddha. Layered
brushstrokes of emerald green, yellow, and more saffron fill in the
background. Blessing Buddha  now hangs in the lobby of Hay House headquarters in
Carlsbad, California. “It welcomes and blesses all who enter,” says Louise.I love the painting. I have a full-sized copy hanging by the door to my
office at home. I look at it and receive a blessing every day as I commute up
the stairs to work. Louise has not written or spoken about the Buddha in any
of her major works. I was keen, therefore, to learn what she thinks about the
Buddha and also to explore any relationship between the Blessing Buddha
and her philosophy that life loves you. “The Buddha is a living saint,” Louise tells me. “I believe he had an
experience of the Unconditioned Self, as you call it. In his awakening, he
experienced the One Infinite Mind, and he received the blessings of
creation.” I ask Louise to tell me more about this. She says, “We are created
by a Universal Consciousness that supports all of its creations. We are the
beloved children  of the Universe and we have been given everything. We
are born blessed. The message the Buddha has for each and every one of us
is I am blessed.”
“How long did it take you to paint Blessing Buddha?” I ask Louise. “Eighty-five years!” she says with a big laugh. “Good answer.”
“It took about five years in total,” she says. “That was a long journey.”
“It was a journey I couldn’ t have taken alone,” she says. “What do you mean?”
“I had two wonderful art teachers who stretched me far beyond what I
thought I was capable of doing.”
Louise’ s first teacher was an English artist who occasionally visited San
Diego. “I took his
