 assisting in the care of an elderly lady, probably
around 70. For  the past couple of years she has had arthritis and last year she had to have an operation to have the spleen removed.
They couldn’t control the blood count unless the spleen was taken out. She got along fairly well after the operation but then  her
arthrit is came back still more. She had extreme pains throughout the whole body to the place where she could not control it and she
had to be taken into the hospital where they could not find anything wrong with her. X -rays showed nothing. The pain was so
extreme  they went into the bowel and found an obstruction. When she died, they said she died of septic shock. This is not unusual
because it follows the pattern that we see with so many people.

PATIENT 7
Phone call in October. This person started the tissue clea nsing treatment in June, the June before 1980 and her problem was
degenerative disease in the female organs, principally the uterus. She was advised to have a complete hysterectomy because of
suspicions of a very serious degenerative nature. Four months la ter this woman went for her Pap test and an elimination. They
found every -thing normal. She has finally returned to work and is very thankful for what has happened.
PATIENT 8
Twenty -six-year-old mother of three diagnosed as having Multiple Sclerosis. She h as not been given any hope of overcoming this
disease from her doctor. They have offered her nothing, no dietetics, no nutritional counseling, and no encouragement. She ha s
been told by her professional guides that she can’t get well with any treatments. T hat she must accept her condition and live with
it. With nothing to lose from this prognosis, she has been working with our system and reports that her vitality is better, s he feels
better and her nerves are much better; she is digesting her food better an d her bowels are better.
PATIENT 9
This lady has gone through the tissue cleansing treatment twice. She has had considerable problems dealing with the spine, ne ck,
joints, abdominal disorders, digestive disturbances, lung disturbances, bronchial problems; going through the change of life.
The cleansing treatment was 11 months ago and the second was 7 weeks later, as we advised. Following that, she has been livin g a
fairly good life from a food and mental standpoint; adjusting her job; trying to do as much a s she can for herself; having more
sunshine treatments during the summer; circulation treatments through Kneipp baths; and trying to readjust her life to such a n
extent that she built herself up to a healing crisis; that reversal process that we talk so mu ch about.
The healing crisis came and she developed pains and aches especially where she had been operated on for a disk in the neck. T hen
the pain went to the shoulder and different parts of the body. The intestinal problem became a little bit unmanageabl e so she went
on the tissue cleansing treatment again. We planned for 3 days due to the fact that most crises only last about 3 days and we
thought that this would be enough, but she stayed on the program for the full 7 day period. She has had greater elim inations from
the bowel during her healing crisis than at any other time. This is a very important thing to consider and I would like to di scuss this
for a moment.
First of all, we find that disease is a result of catarrh, mucus and phlegm settling in vari ous parts of the body; toxic materials that
have been in our blood over a period of years that have developed the kind of shoulder; the kind of joint material that we ha ve in
our body now. We are reversing this, we are using an evolved way of eating; we’re  going a better way from a health standpoint.
The reversal process goes right out through the tissues when they are regenerated to get rid of the old and to allow the new to come
in. In other words, we’re not building a new disease, we’re going backwards n ow and in going backwards, we call this the reversal
method of cleansing; the reversal method of getting rid of any disease accumulation that may be in the body. In this case, we  find
that the second elimination treatment, at the end of 7 weeks, did not di scharge much mucus or catarrh from the bowel. In contrast,
during this crisis it was unbelievable what the tissue cleansing treatment and the colemas have brought down from the bowel.
There were mucus strings and other materials that were unbelievable. The y were of such a copious nature that there were two
quarts at a time of this mucus membrane. It was foul and gave up a lot of gas. She had to resort to an extra colema treatment  in
order to take care of this toxic material that had settled in the bowel. Af ter the 6th day, we found that the colema became clear
again. There is still an excessive amount of material coming from the bowel. The greatest amount of toxic material came possi bly
the 4th, 5th and 6th days. It is beginning to ease up now and it is time  that she moves on to the transition diet and the regular eating
program once again.
This case has been mentioned because it illustrates clearly that during the healing crisis it may become a necessity to go on  the
colema treatment once again. I will say t hat everyone who follows this treatment is going to have these healing crises develop. It
will bring back the problems that you have had in the past, symptoms you had 10, 20, 30 years ago. It is at this time that th e toxic
material should be elimirated bec ause the body has liquified the catarrh, liquified the mucus and it is getting to a running stage. At
this time, you help it with the colema. After this is over, you will find that it will take 3 to 5 days for a complete elimin ation to
occur, after which y ou’re ready to start a better life than you’ve had in many years. The healing crisis can be a short one, it can be
a little one, it doesn’t have to take long. Anybody going through this tissue cleansing treatment will get a strong healing c risis. I
feel th at people overcome their troubles a lot quicker through this reversal process that they would any other way. You make more
progress with this program than with any way I know of other than through extreme fasting.
PATIENT 10
This man suffers from extreme f latulence and X -ray shows severe diverticula of the colon. He has had kidney operations to
remove large stones, and has been told that there is a large mass in one kidney. He hasn’t the will to live because of these troubles.
Blood pressure was high (188/1 20), extreme digestive disturbances, heart attack, gout; taking drugs now. Does not smoke or
drink alcohol. Barium enema shows number of diverticula has tripled in one year’s time. Iris examination reveals deep, dark a nd
large lesions in colon areas. Kidne y areas indicate extreme underactivity. Doctors want to take out sections of the bowel and have
no other remedy. He came to us with these troubles. The seven -day treatment was started with the tissue cleansing regimen. Good
things started to happen immedia tely. He was able to get the first decent night’s sleep in years by the third day. Flatulence has been
reduced markedly. Patient says he hasn’t felt as good in years. He claims that he feels like he has been given a new chance a t life
and is very optimisti c about staying on the program. The opportunity to reverse his degenerative processes has given him hope that
was not available before.
PATIENT 11
After taking treatments several months ago, the stomach trouble has left and the digestion is now better.
We have not heard any bad results from cases taking the treatment.
PATIENT 12
Patient had hepatitis. Tests revealed an almost normal condition after one month of colema treatment. Chemistry panel showed
alkaline phosphorous of 1760 (normal is 79 to 250 IUL) w ent to 82 during this treatment. She used no drugs, just foods and tissue
cleansing system.

IN CONCLUSION
“Should the body sue the mind before a court judicature for damages, it would be found that the mind had been a ruinous tenan t to
its landl ord.” Essays of Plutarch
I have devoted my life’s energies to discovering the secrets of happy, healthy long life. Searching the world over for exampl es of
these blessings has been quite an experience and I’ve learned a great deal. During the 50 years of p ractice trying to help people be
and stay well, I’ve come to one certain conclusion. That the number one symptom that exceeds all others considerably is bowel
disturbance. People in this society and culture are all suffering some kind of digestive or elimi native malfunction. It is epidemic in
proportion. Our food and lifestyle are slowly doing us in by undermining the health and vitality of our great people. Sicknes s and
disease are claiming a greater and greater portion of our energy, time, money and emoti ons. We are becoming health poor and
vitality bereft. We have strayed from the right path and have been led into a dead end prematurely. This is unfortunate but n ot

However, my rectal bleeding from colitis and internal hemorrhoids continued.  In the meantime a friend told me that in the Tennessee Hills, where he was raised, urine enemas were used for similar problems. On July31, 1988, I began using urine for daily enemas.

. So people push through their symptoms by sheer grit for years  on end,
and keep that up until their exhausted horse of a body breaks do wn totally and they find themselves in the hospital running up bills
to the tune of several thousand dollars a day. But these very same people do not think they can afford the loss of a few hund red
dollars of current income undertaking some virtually harml ess preventative maintenance on their bodies.
    Given half a chance the body will throw off toxic overburdens and cleanse itself. And once the body has been cleansed of
toxemia, disagreeable symptoms usually cease. This means that to make relatively mild but unwanted symptoms lessen and
ultimately s top it is merely necessary to temporarily cut back food intake, eating only what does not cause toxemia. These foods I
classify as cleansing, such as raw fruits and vegetables and their juices. If the symptoms are extreme, are perceived as
overwhelming or are actually life -threatening, detoxification can be speeded up by dropping back to only dilute raw juices or
vegetable broth made only from greens, without eating the solids. In the most extreme cases hygienists use their most powerfu l
medicine: a long fa st on herb teas, or just water. I will have a lot to say about fasting, later.
    When acutely ill, the most important thing to do is to just get out of the body's way, and let it heal itself. In our ignoran ce we are
usually our own worst enemy in this re gard. We have been very successfully conditioned to think that all symptoms are bad. But I
know from experience that people can and do learn a new way of viewing the body, an understanding that puts them at cause ove r
their own body. It allows you to be em powered in one more area of life instead of being dependent and at the mercy of other
peoples decisions about your body.
    Finally, and this is why natural medicine is doubly unpopular, to prevent the recurrence of toxemia and acute disease states,
perso n must discover what they are doing wrong and change their life. Often as not this means elimination of the person's favorite
(indigestible) foods and/or (stress -producing) bad habits. Naturally, I will have a lot more to say about this later, too.

Chapter Three
Fasting

From The Hygienic Dictionary
Cure. [1] There is no "cure" for disease; fasting is not a cure. Fasting facilitates natural healing processes. Foods do not cure. Until
we have discarded our faith in cures, there can be no intelligent a pproach to the problems presented by suffering and no proper use
of foods by those who are ill. Herbert Shelton, The Hygienic System, v. 3, Fasting and Sunbathing. [2] All cure starts from w ithin
out and from the head down and in reverse order as the sympt oms have appeared. Hering"s Law of Cure. [3] Life is made up of
crises. The individual establishes a standard of health peculiarly his own, which must vary from all other standards as great ly as his
personality varies from others. The individual standard m ay be such as to favor the development of indigestion, catarrh, gout,
rheumatic and glandular inflammations, tubercular developments, congestions, sluggish secretions and excretions, or inhibitio ns of
various functions, both mental and physical, wherever t he environmental or habit strain is greater than usual. The standard of
resistance may be opposed so strenuously by habits and unusual physical agencies –that the body breaks down under the strain.
This is a crisis. Appetite fails, discomfort or pain forces  rest, and, as a result of physiological rest (fasting) and physical rest (rest
from daily work and habits), a readjustment takes place, and the patient is "cured." This is what the profession and the peop le call a
cure, and it is for the time being –until an unusual enervation is brought on from accident or dissipation; then another crisis. These
crises are the ordinary sickness of all communities –all catalogued diseases. When the cold is gone or the hay -fever fully relieved, it
does not mean the patient is  cured. Indeed, he is as much diseased as before he suffered the attack –the crisis –and he never will be
cured until the habits of life that keep up toxin poisoning are corrected. To recover from a crisis is not a cure; the tenden cy is back
to the individua l standard; hence all crises are self -limited, unless nature by maltreatment is prevented from reacting. All so -called
healing systems ride to glory on the backs of self -limited crises, and the self -deluded doctors and their credulous clients, believe,
when the crises are past, that a cure has been wrought, whereas the real truth is that the treatment may have delayed reaction. This
is largely true of anything that has been done except rest. A cure consists in changing the manner of living to such a ration al
standard that full resistance and a balanced metabolism is established. I suppose it is not quite human to expect those of a
standardized school of healing to give utterance to discovered truth which, if accepted by the people, would rob them of the glory
of being curers of disease. Indeed, nature, and nature only, cures; and as for crises, they come and go, whether or not there  is a
doctor or healer within a thousand miles. Dr. John.H. Tllden, Impaired Health: Its Cause and Cure, 1921.

    The acceler ated healing process that occurs during fasting can scarcely be believed by a person who has not fasted. No matter
how gifted the writer, the experiential reality of fasting cannot be communicated. The great novelist Upton Sinclair wrote a book
about fasti ng and it failed to convince the multitudes. But once a person has fasted long enough to be certain of what their own
body can do to fix itself, they acquire a degree of independence little known today. Many of those experienced with fasting n o
longer drea d being without health insurance and feel far less need for a doctor or of having a regular checkup. They know with
certainty that if something degenerates in their body, their own body can fix it by itself.
    Like Upton Sinclair and many others who larg ely failed before me, I am going to try to convince you of the virtues of fasting by
urging you to try fasting yourself. If you will but try you will be changed for the better for the rest of your life. If you do not try,
you will never Know.
    To prompt  your first step on this health -freedom road, I ask you to please carefully consider the importance of this fact: the
body"s routine energy budget includes a very large allocation for the daily digestion and assimilation of the food you eat. Y ou may
find m y estimate surprising, but about one -third of a fairly sedentary person"s entire energy consumption goes into food
processing. Other uses for the body"s energy include the creation or rebuilding of tissues, detoxification, moving (walking,
running, etc.), talking, producing hormones, etc. Digestion is one aspect of the body"s efforts that we can readily control, it is the
key to having or losing health.

The Effort Of Digestion
    Digestion is a huge, unappreciated task, unappreciated because few of us are  aware of its happening in the same way we are
aware of making efforts to use our voluntary muscles when working or exercising. Digestion begins in the mouth with thorough
chewing. If you don"t think chewing is effort, try making coleslaw in your own mouth. Chew up at least half a big head of cabbage
and three big carrots that have not been shredded. Grind each bit until it liquefies and has been thoroughly mixed with saliv a. I
guarantee that if you even finish the chore your jaw will be tired and you will have lost all desire to eat anything else, especially if
it requires chewing.
    Making the saliva you just used while chewing the cabbage is by itself, a huge and unappreciated chemical effort.
    Once in the stomach, chewed food has to be churned in order to mix it with hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and other digestive
enzymes. Manufacturing these enzymes is also considerable work! Churning is even harder work than chewing but normally,
people are unaware of its happening. While the stomach is churning ( like a washing machine) a large portion of the blood supply is
redirected from the muscles in the extremities to the stomach and intestines to aid in this process. Anyone who has tried to go for a
run, or take part in any other strenuous physical activity immediately after a large meal feels like a slug and wonders why they just
can"t make their legs move the way they usually do. So, to assist the body while it is digesting, it is wise to take a siesta  as los
Latinos do instead of expecting the blood to be two places at once like los norteamericanos.
    After the stomach is through churning, the partially digested food is moved into the small intestine where it is mixed with m ore
pancreatin secreted by the pancreas, and with bile from the gall bladder. Panc reatin further solubilizes proteins. Bile aids in the

results, I  can assure you, are most gratifying.

Dr. Sanford C. Frumker (Doctor of Dentistry)
As a periodontist, I  soon became convinced that to treat those things in the mouth
that cause gum disease is only partial treatment. Based on a great deal of evidence, I
was convinced that if the body of the patient was well nourished and the machinery
in the mouth was working properly the patient w ill not have gum tissue breakdown.
As a result of this thinking over many years, I  have taken several nutrition courses.
Thanks to time spent with Dr. Roger Williams, and a great deal of reading and
studying, I  had established specific criteria for a nutritional program. With no
exception, (and that was not a program I  could easily use in my practice) none of the
nutrition courses satisfied my criteria.
International Health Institute's (Dr. Kelley's) program was the first program I  saw
that at least on paper appeared both to be practical and to fill my requirements.
However, since I  had been led down umpteen primrose paths by other "nutrition"
programs, I  was very skeptical of the Metabolic Medicine program.
When, with great skepticism, I  started my own Metabolic Medicine program, I  felt I
was in excellent health. I  had only one health problem that I  was aware of and that
was that I  had nasal polyps, which were caused by allergies.
The polyps were particularly bad in winter. I  could not breathe through my nose at
all. So after having the polyps surgically removed I  was referred to an allergist. The
allergist found I  was allergic to dust and all dairy products. I  already knew about the
allergy to the dairy products because after a heavy dairy meal, my nose would
completely close due to the swelling of the polyps.
To control the growth of the polyps, the allergist recommended weekly "allergy
shots." For two years, they worked well and I  could breathe fairly well through my
nose in the winter. During the third and fourth years, the allergy shots did not work as
well and I  had trouble breathing through my nose. During the fifth and sixth years,
the allergy shots did not work at all. I  couldn't breathe through my nose at all in the
winter and very little in the summer. My allergist now informed me the only thing that
would help me was cortisone injections. Knowing the undesirable effects of
cortisone, I  refused.
Things got bad enough that finally I  had one cortisone injection.
When I  began my Metabolic Medicine program, I  informed Dr. Kelley of my
allergy to dairy products and asked him if anything could be done to help. To my
surprise, Dr. Kelley said he was not at all interested in my specific allergies, but he
176
Winning The Cancer War
was interested in getting the body working right so I  would not be allergic to
anything. I  was very doubtful of Dr. Kelley and the entire program at that time.
When I  filled out my Nutritional Evaluation Survey, I  discovered many health
normalities that I  never knew existed. Filling out my survey, indeed, was an
experience in self-discovery and understanding. If the information and the claims for
what it indicated were correct, this was the most valuable physical examination and
insight into my inner workings I  had ever experienced. However, I  had grave
reservations as to the truth of diagnosis made from this information and the blood test
and urinalysis.
Therefore, I  went into the program not only skeptical, but almost with a chip on my
shoulder. Based on past experiences, I  felt sure I  was wasting my time and money.
I  have now been on the program for several years. Even during the first winter, with
no allergy shots, no cortisone (and no allergist), my nose was open all winter. I  could
breathe through my nose!
Being suspicious, I  could not give the Metabolic Medicine program full credit for
my feeling so good. So I  went back to my Metabolic Medicine's Self-Test book and
compared all the signs and symptoms with where they are now. By checking these
signs and symptoms, I  had an objective way of seeing what this program was doing to
my internal machinery!
To put it mildly, the Metabolic Medicine program has been a great success for me.
My allergies are under control. I  have never felt better. In addition, with the
Metabolic Medicine's Self-Test book, I  have been able to see objectively what is
happening with me. With these objective observations of myself, with certainty, at
least for me, the program is an unqualified huge success.
Now that I  am convinced, I  am offering this program to all of my dental patients. I
know it does the job. I  know it is what we need to get our internal machinery to do
the job.

My training as an optometrist started long before I  entered Northwest Illinois Optical
College in Chicago, Illinois, in 1922.

Winning The Cancer War
As a farm boy, I  had the opportunity to observe the habits of animals, both
domesticated and wild, and in those days mankind was living closer to nature and
using none of today's processed foods. I  am 84 years young, and I  see that it's quite
difficult for this present generation to realize how the pioneers existed and thrived
with very few fatal degenerative illnesses such as cancer.
In any "health" profession, the practitioner has a good opportunity to observe the
results obtained by the various modalities of treating the physical defects of his or her
patients. It is estimated that 85% of our learning is acquired through our eyes.
When I  got out of college and started to practice my profession of fitting glasses, I
soon realized that there must be an underlying cause of so much myopia
(nearsightedness), cataracts, glaucoma, etc. As I  gave the subject more study, it was
clear to me that man was creating most of his eye problems by incorrect diet and
poor choice of foods.
For this reason, I  took several courses in naturopathy and studied and read
everything I  could find in health books and magazines that dealt with the subject.
Many of my patients are so nearsighted that they are unable to see 20/20 on the
eye chart. It is quite common for them to blame watching television and thus avoid
the real cause, which is faulty diet and junk foods. Through the science of iridology, it
is quite easy to observe unhealthy body conditions as well as deposits of drugs.
I  always try to emphasize basic health principles such as the importance of proper
diet and tell my patients to avoid sugar, soft drinks and refined foods. Some will listen
and, if they do, in a very short time their eyesight will improve. I  have even had cases
where I  was then able to reduce the strength of the lenses.
One patient, aged 75, had cataracts. I  sent her to an Ophthalmologist, and he told her
she would have to have surgery in three months. I  told her of Dr. Kelley's nutritional
program and my wife, who is one of Dr. Kelley's Technicians, had her evaluated. She
followed the program and when she returned to the Ophthalmologist, he told her she
would never have to have the surgery.
Another patient quite suddenly lost 70% of her eyesight. She went on Dr. Kelley's
nutritional program and in a matter of six weeks her eyesight returned.
When Dr. Kelley says we have been starving for 30 years, I  certainly agree for I  am in

have seen many of the patients with other degenerative disease respond equally as
well as the cancer patients.
Lloyd H. Price, O.D.
Des Moines, IA
Dr. Jack O. Taylor (Doctor of Chiropractic)
I  had always held nutrition of some importance and often gave my patients rather
inconsistent advice about "improving your diet" or "why not try this vitamin for that
symptom?" After several years of dealing with sick people, some of whom I  knew
were on good diets, and some junk eaters, I  began to realize that we were healthy not
solely as a result of our intake, but instead, we were healthy or sick as a result of what
our bodies did with the intake. It was discouraging to suggest the same "balanced"
diet for several patients, getting entirely nowhere with many and having dramatic
positive responses from others. Searching through the available literature seemed to
add to my questions rather than provide answers.
Several years ago a very dear friend developed cancer and my wife was in to
accompany her to Dr. W illiam Donald Kelley.


 the former will fill your present moments
with happiness, and the latter will waste them in misery.
Do you take yourself and your life so seriously that you can’t
stand back and view the absurdity of taking anything that solemnly?
An absence of laughter is an indicator of pathology. When you tend
to be overly sober about yourself and what you do, remind yourself
that this is the only time you have. Why waste your present being
angry when laughing feels so good.
Laughter just for the sake of laughing. It is its own justification.
You don’t have to have a reason to laugh. Just do it. Observe yourself
and others in this nutty world, and then decide whether to carry
around anger or to develop a sense of humor that will give you and
others one of the most priceless gifts of all—laughter. It feels so good.
Some Common Causes of Anger
You can see anger in operation all the time. Examples of people
experiencing varying degrees of immobility, from mild upset to
blind rage, are everywhere. It is the cancer, albeit a learned one, that
permeates human interactions. Below are some of the more common
instances in which people choose anger.
• Anger in the automobile. Drivers scream at other motorists for
virtually everything. Pulse-racing behavior results when214 / Your Erroneous Zonessomeone else is going too slow, too fast, doesn’t signal, signals im-
properly, changes lanes or any number of mistakes. As a driver, you
may experience a great deal of anger and emotional immobility be-
cause of the things you tell yourself about the ways others should
be driving. Similarly, traffic jams are key signals for attacks of anger
and hostility. Drivers yell at passengers and swear at the cause of
the delay. All this behavior is the result of a single thought, “This
shouldn’t be happening, and because it is, I’m going to be upset and
help others to choose unhappiness as well.”
• Anger in competitive games. Bridge, tennis, pinochle, poker
and a variety of other games are excellent anger inducers. People
get angry at partners or opponents for not doing it right or for infrac-
tions of the rules. They may throw things like a tennis racket because
they made an error. While stomping and throwing equipment are
healthier than hitting or screaming at others, they are still barriers
to present-moment fulfillment.
• Anger at the out of place. Many people feel rage at an individual
or event which they consider out of place. For example, a driver in
traffic may decide the cyclist or pedestrian shouldn’t be there and
try to drive him off the road. This kind of anger can be extremely
dangerous. Many so-called accidents are actually the result of just
such incidents in which uncontrolled rage has serious results.
• Anger about taxes. No amount of anger will ever change the tax
laws of our country, but people rage just the same because taxes
aren’t what they would like them to be.
• Anger over the tardiness of others. If you expect others to
function on your timetable, you will choose anger when they do not
and justify your immobilization with, “I have a right to be angry.
He kept me waiting half an hour.”
• Anger at the disorganization or sloppiness of others. Despite
the fact that your rage will probably encourage others to continue
to behave in the same manner, you may persist in choosing anger.
• Anger at inanimate objects. If you hit your shin bone orFAREWELL TO ANGER  / 215hammer your thumb, reacting with a scream can be therapeutic, but
feeling real rage and doing something about it such as driving your
fist through a wall is not only futile, but painful as well.
• Anger over the loss of objects. No amount of rage will turn up
a lost key or wallet and will probably prevent you from launching
an effective search.
• Anger over world events beyond your control. You may not
approve of politics, foreign relations, or the economy, but your anger
and subsequent immobilization aren’t going to change anything.
The Many Faces of Anger
Now that we’ve seen some of the occasions on which you might
choose anger, let’s look at some forms anger takes.
• Being verbally abusive or ridiculing a spouse, children, or loved
ones, or friends.
• Physical violence—hitting, kicking, slamming—objects or people.
Carried to extremes, this behavior leads to crimes of violence which
are almost always committed under the influence of immobilizing
anger. Murder and assaults don’t occur unless emotions are out of
control and anger has led to temporary insanity. Believing that anger
is normal or subscribing to the psychological schools that encourage
you to get in touch with your anger and let it out can be potentially
dangerous. Similarly, television, movies and books which popularize
anger and violence and present them as normal undermine both the
individual and society.
• Saying things like, “He infuriates me,” or “You really aggravate
me.” In these cases you are choosing to let someone else’s behavior
make you unhappy.
• Using phrases like, “kill him,” “clobber them,” or “destroy the
opposition.” You may think they’re only expressions,216 / Your Erroneous Zonesbut they encourage anger and violence and make it acceptable even
in friendly competition.
• Temper tantrums. Not only is this a common expression of anger,
it frequently serves to get the tantrum thrower exactly what he wants.
• Sarcasm, ridicule and the silent treatment. These expressions of
anger can be just as damaging as physical violence.
While the list of possible anger behavior could go on into eternity,
the above examples constitute the most common incidents of anger
as it surfaces in this erroneous zone.
The Reward System That You’ve Constructed for Choosing Anger
Getting a grip on lengthening your fuse will most effectively start
with some insight into the reasons for using it in the first place. Here
are some of the psychological motives for keeping that fuse as short
as it is.
• Whenever you find it difficult to handle yourself, feel frustrated
or defeated, you can use anger to direct the responsibility for how
you feel to the person or event itself, rather than taking charge of
your own feelings.
• You can use your anger to manipulate those who fear you. This
is particularly effective in getting those who are younger, or physic-
ally or psychologically smaller in line.
• Anger draws attention and thus you can feel important and
powerful.
• Anger is a handy excuse. You can go insane—temporarily—and
then excuse yourself by saying, “I couldn’t help myself.” Thus you
can exonerate your behavior with out-of-control logic.
• You can get your way because others would rather placate you
than have to put up with the angry exhibition.FAREWELL TO ANGER  / 217• If you are afraid of intimacy or love, you can get angry over
something, and thus avoid the risky business of sharing yourself
affectionately.
• You can manipulate others with guilt by having them wonder
“Where did I go wrong to make him so angry?” When they feel
guilty, you are powerful.
• You can break down communication in which you feel
threatened because someone else is more skillful. You simply use
anger to avoid the risk of looking bad.
• You don’t have to work on yourself when you are angry.
Therefore you can use up your present moments in the easy business
of being fierce and avoid doing whatever it might take to improve
yourself. Thus you can use anger to take the heat off yourself.
• You can indulge in self-pity after you’ve had an attack of anger
and feel sorry for yourself because nobody understands you.
• You can avoid thinking clearly, simply by getting angry.
Everyone knows that you can’t think straight at these times, so why
not haul out the old anger when you want to avoid any of that hard
straight-thinking.
• You can excuse losing or poor performance with a simple fit of
temper. Maybe you can even get others to stop winning, because
they fear your anger so much.
• You can excuse anger by saying you need it to help you carry
out some task, but in fact anger is immobilizing and never improves
performance.
• By saying it’s human to be angry, you have a ready justification
for yourself. “I’m human, and that’s what humans do.”
Some Designs for Replacing Anger
Anger can be eliminated. It will require a great deal of new
thinking and it can be done only one present moment at a time.218 / Your Erroneous ZonesWhen confronted with people or events which provoke you to choose
anger, become aware of what you are telling yourself, and then work
at new sentences which will create new feelings and more productive
behavior. Here are some specific strategies for attacking anger.
• First and most important, get in touch with your thoughts at
the time of your anger, and remind yourself that you don’t have to
think that way, simply because you’ve always done so in the past.
Awareness is paramount.
• Try postponing anger. If you typically react with anger in a
particular circumstance, postpone the anger for fifteen seconds, and
then explode in your typical fashion. Next try thirty seconds, and
keep lengthening the intervals. Once you begin to see that you can
put anger off, you’ll have learned control. Postponing is control, and
with lots of practice, you’ll eventually eliminate it totally.
• When trying to use anger constructively to teach a child some-


 produce for the massage for another.

Fasting
For many of the diseases curable and incurable, the best aggressive
therapy would be fasting. That is to say drinking 100% of your urine
except for the first release being the middle of the release.
14 Fasting daily with water at room temperature for as many days as
your body can appreciate this method of cleaning out your system.
Some start with offing your food intake by way of minimizing intake of
solids through three days to juice liquids and finally going for 3 or 4
Days with no food then back up to juice and soft food to a regular and
hopeful better diet. EVERY MONTH. I EVERY MONTH I EVERY MONTH.
Some with a serious Diabetic problem have gone for two to three weeks
without solids. The longest I have heard is an East Indian that reached
100 days off solids except for Urine, water, and honey.
He is a dedicated vegetarian and also does not eat or drink
dairy products of any kind.
You must understand the body goes to disease because of the foods that
we have eaten as well as environmental conditions. I believe that a period
of three days would be beneficial to start and move from there each month.
I must tell you that it is my obligation to advise you to do this under the
direction of you allopathic Doctor. Now that I said that, try to get a
allopathic to lose his future business.
He will tell you everything under the sun that this is NUTS.
Now is a great time to understand the savor of taste while fasting.
• Aclb I detoxification is happening.
• Bitter I This is when your sick. Now you really know. Change it.
Keep up your fasting.
• Salf\.t I This is best. This is normal.
• Venj Salf\.t I Your not drinking enough water. 2 Quarts per day
(8 Glasses}
• Sweet I You are Diabetic
• Under normal eating, you will start changing your eating habits.
Everything you eat especially meats will show you your blood serum.
If your serious, you will realize what is good for your body and what is not.

Gargling
Gargle for 5 -15 minutes each time.
Repeat as many times as possible.
It will benefit gum disease, oral disease, tongue problems and tooth pain.
If you have silver or metal fillings in your mouth, you may find
the gargling could loosen those teeth with metals.
It would benefit you to have all metal fillings removed and filled with
non-metal fillings. It is quite unique to find that urine promotes the release
of anything that is wrong, dangerous, or negative to the body.
15 {6}
Drops
Apply 2 - 3 drops of fresh urine from an eye dropper.
Great for any eye itching, red eyes, tired eyes, cataracts, and also many ear
itching, ear diseases, especially in young children of any age.
Remember MURINE EYE LIQUID. Mares I urine.
{ Now made from synthetics.}
{ Never use urine from bladder infection or veneral disease
{7}
Soaking
Place urine in a basin, and soak the feet for 15-20 minutes daily until
condition you are treating is completely gone.
Athletic foot, corns, blisters, or fungus bubbles on the bottom of your feet.
{ I personally have known a friend that had corns for 25 + years.
She finally tried the soaking and the first day she peeled 20% of the corn
off. She soaked for 30 minutes at night and in the morning when tacking a
shower she felt the corn just melt off 20%.
Later soakings completed the whole corn.
Can you believe 25 years of misery gone in hours or days?
{8}
Packing
Wet gauze or cotton with urine, and pack the affected area.
Pest bites, bee sting, wounds, snake bite, scratches, cuts, abrasions, etc.
Massaging helps greatly for 10 -15 minutes.
{9}
Injections
One bottle contain 5 g in 100 c.c. of purified ingredients from 7000 c.c.
urine. Administer by I.V. infusion after mixing with Ringer solution.
Cancer prevention and therapy, and all others with grave illnesses.

Enemas
20% Urine with 80 % Water. Great for colitis, intestinal pain,
hemorrhoids, colon problems of all natures.
16 Understanding How It Works.
How does it work?
Proper rest, appropriate nutritional supplements, exercise, water,
limited carbohydrates, limited sugar intake,
and you still can't get your body to solve your special health challenges.
This is where you need extra understanding.
Here is a review of homeopathy /Intrinsic-Systemic Therapy.
If you are a person who cannot get to involve yourself from directly
drinking urine for disease therapy, may I suggest reading the following
understanding of Homeopathy and visualize that just a few drops in
juice or water will do for a short start.
Read on and understand how powerful this method is from the very first
beginning of your introduction to urine therapy.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a therapeutic method that clinically applies to the
Law of Similar. It uses infinitesimal doses of medically active substances.
Say you get sick with the flu. Using the Law of Similar,
you could give yourself an additional dose of the same or similar flu virus.
This would really stimulate your immune system to initiate full blown
macrophages to start the fight against the invasion of flu invaders.
That's using the Law of Similar.
You never take the similar substance full strength in homeopathy.
You take an infinitesimally smaller amount.
It must be small as to be unmeasurable by physical scientific instruments.
To get to such a small level, the original substance goes through a dilution
process. For example, suppose you were making a flu remedy.
You would take, for instance, 99 drops of distilled water
and add one drop of flu virus. You would vigorously shake that solution.
(homeopaths call this succussing).
Then you would take a drop of that solution and add it to another 99 drops
of water and shake again vigorously.
Then take a drop of that solution and do it again, and again, and again, etc.
By the time the homeopath is through with this process, any scientific
laboratory could analyze the solution and all they would consider is that
the substance is just water. However the power of the remedy is in the
vibration imprint that has been stamped on the water itself by the original
flu drop and through each successive generation.
And this is where we get into quantum physics and subtle energy.
These areas where our physical sciences are not yet capable of going.
17 When the body is given a homeopathic remedy, it is stimulated into action,
not because of the physical or chemical nature of the substance,
but because of the energetic nature.
The body receives new vibrator information and acts accordingly.
Now to anyone trained in the physical sciences, this is unprovable.
But whether you believe this yourself or not is irrelevant, the fact is,
homeopathies is a very powerful healing resource used correctly.
So you see that weather you take a drop, a few drops, or a glassful,
You are vaccinating yourself either way.

Lets Recap
Let Us StaRt again at Conception
At conception our entire cell growth and later organ growth
was aided within the embryonic fluid.
This embryonic fluid in the second month is the core aid
in the proper growth of our lungs.
This embryonic fluid is made up of urine first from the Mother
and later the fluid is of urine from that mostly of the child as well.
After birth it has been taught by society that urine is a waste product.
Dirty. Uric acid. Horribly pungent in smell.
Let's use reason.
SOLID excretions are in fact waste product that is mixed with liquid.
Consider Urine.
This liquid portion voided to the outside of the body is Gods pharmacy.
It is specifically made with our private, specific code attached for
our protection to the body.
It is not dirty. The fact is that it is the serum of our blood.
It is not only a clean substance but also a sterile substance.
18 It consists for the most part of water {95%} and for the remaining part
beneficial substances which have just been micro-filtered by the body's
finest natural filters. Millions of filters.
Urine is filtered blood. It is our "Medicine".
Consider Urine as our personal "House Pharmacy".
How can you loose?
It is only the social stigma that you may be
aggressively holding onto that will keep you from a

This gr eat secr et is in plain view  for every one of us to see,

W e’ve m issed th e truth for thou sands of years because we

W e’ve accepted many false ideas and beliefs thr oughout our

Whenever we suffer, it’ s because we’ve mistaken our own

The Gr eatest Secr et: Revealed
“So close you can’ t see it.
So subtle your mind can’ t understand it.
So simple you can’ t believe it.
So good you can’ t accept it.”
Loch Kelly, fr om  Shift into Freedom r egar ding the Shangpa Kagyu T ibetan Buddhist tradition
Why is it so few have discovered the truth? Why haven’ t the m ajority of us realized
who we are? How can billions o f people have missed something so vitally important
to our happiness?
W e’ve m issed discovering The Greatest Secret because of one small obstacle: a
belief! J ust a single belief has prevented us from making the g reatest discovery we
can make. That belief is that we are our body and our mind.
Y ou Ar e Not Y our Body
“W e came into this world to be a body in order to learn that we are not a body.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
Just as you use a  car to get from one location to another, your b ody is a vehicle you
use to move around and to experience the world.
“If you have a c ar, you do not say you are the car. Why then, if you have a body, do
you say you are the body?”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
Being m aterial, your body isn’ t conscious. It doesn’ t know it’ s a body, but “you”
know it’ s a body. Y our toe doesn’ t know it’ s a toe, your wrist doesn’ t know it’ s a
wrist, yo ur head doesn’ t know it ’ s a head, and your brain has no  idea it’ s a brain, but
“you” k now each and every pa rt of your body. How could you be the body when
you know all the dif ferent parts, and yet not one of them knows you?
It’ s prob ing que stions like these that enabled the great beings of the past to unravel
the mystery behind who we really are.
“The wo rst habi t we have gotten  into over the millenniums is that we believe we are
this body.”Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
“W e hav e for gotten what we are, and we have identified ourselv es with objects. I am
this body, therefore I’m going to die.”
Francis Lucille
“Y ou fear that if the body isn’ t, you are not.”
Lester Levenson
Believing you’r e just your body creates the biggest fear of humanity, the fear of
death: when your body dies, you fear you will no longer exist. It’ s like a dark cloud
hanging over your life.
“If you want immortality—stop holding on to the body.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
It’ s good news that you’re not your body, because your body is going to come to an
end one day, as all material thin gs do. The world is completely made up of material
things, a nd not one of those thin gs will last, including your body, which appears and
disappears through the process of birth and death. What you actually  are never dies!
“What you truly are cannot die. The body will die, but the body is not what you
are.”
Mooji
“W e have free will to identify with the body or identify with who we really are.
Body equals pain and what you are equals infinite joy.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
Y our way out of all dif ficulties begins with letting go of the belief that you are your
body.
Y ou Ar e Not Y our Mind
The voic e in your head is not yo u, yet you’ve probably believed it is you for most of
your life. While the voice in your head sounds like you, seems to know a lot about
you, and has become very familiar to you, it’ s definitely not  you. That voice  in your
head is your mind, and you are not your mind.
“The mind is a collection of thoughts that constantly appear and disappear.”
Peter Lawry
“If there are no thoughts, then there is no mind. Mind is only thought.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
Check for yourself. Where is y our mind if there is no thought? Y our mind isn’ t
there.
“There’ s nothing  inside but thoughts and feelings, memories and sensations, but are
you a thought? Are you a feeling?”
Rupert Spira, fr om a public talk
If you were a thought—let’ s sa y, a frustrated thought—then you would disappear
when th e frustra ted thought disappeared. Y ou are not a thought, a sensation, or a
feeling, because  when they end  you would end too, but you’re still here after they
end. Y ou are he re before a thou ght, you are here before a feeling or sensation, and
you remain perfectly intact after they’ve gone. It’ s fairly obvious when you look atit. Certainly, we do experience th oughts, feelings, and sensations, but we are none of
those things.
In some  ways it’ s easy to under stand how we’ve missed seeing who we really are,
because the body and mind are a very convincing combination. O ur mind keeps up a
constant tirade of thoughts, mos t of which include the word “I,” as though the mind
is us. And you may be surprised to learn that all our bodily sensations come from
the mind, too, which reinforces our belief that we are our body.
“How others see you contribute s to your sense of self. When things happen, they
seem to happen ‘to’ you, or you  may bring them about... Y ou care what happens
because of its ef fect on you. Y ou ‘hold’ yourself with a wish t o keep yourself safe
and in a good light. Y ou certainly do seem real.”
Jan Frazier, fr om  The Great Sweetening: Life After Thought
It’ s n ot that you don’ t have a bod y and a mind; it’ s just that they are not the r eal  you.
Just like your car, they’re simply finely tuned instruments you’re using to
experience the material world.
“Identifying wit h the body and mind is the only thing that is covering up who you
truly are. It’ s this misidentification that is veiling your true Self.”
Mooji
Ar e Y ou Really the Person Y ou Think Y ou
Ar e?
“Considering all the ef fort given to bolstering the ego—the emphasis on self-esteem,
reputation, achie vement, physic al appearance, material acquisition—it’ s a miracle
awakening ever happens at all.”
Jan Frazier, fr om  The Freedom of Being
The ego, the imagined self, the pretend self, the separate self, an d the psychological
self are a few of the names that teachers and sages have given for our mistaken
identity. All of these descriptions refer to a body and a mind that together make up
what we  call a p erson. When we refer to ourselves, most of us are referring to this
person that we think we are.
“A person is what you experience, it is not what you are.”
Mooji
“There’ s no such thing as a person. If you say, ‘I’m a person,’ t hen you have to say
which one—there was a baby once upon a time, there was a teenager


, if you decide to learn it, the perfect
lesson is laid before you and can be learned. This is very optimistic. Spiritually, two are drawn together because of this teaching-learning
balance, and there will be countless opportunities to really get the lesson. It is worth hanging in there when that happens! The Power of Joining
An experience of collaborative joining is an experience of being
connected in mind. It’s an experience of being deeply joined in a shared
purpose: the healing and forgiveness of illusion. Being in colla borative
relationship can be a bit like the 12-step programs, where you have a
sponsor. A sponsor is a trusted brother or sister to join with on decisions,
a joining that shows you the way or guides you. When you link up in
mind with others to join in decision making, you are open to asking and
to be shown the direction. You are not operating from a place of thinking
you already know, where you believe you don’t need to join or listen. Things that weren’t clear before always become clear through joining
and open communication. It’s not that others necessarily know better
than you. Nobod y really knows. It is the joining that is so powerful and
makes the direction clear. It’s a different focus than just trying to
accomplish things. After a while, the joining becomes internalized to a
point where you become really humble as you just ease into a state of
inner listening, flowing, and following.In the ego’s world, the personality and the personal perspective is
the baseline for everything. It is sticky, it is enmeshed, and it is
uncomfortable. There is an underlying low-level anxiety with it that can
increase with different things you do. But your holy companions, your
friends in this purpose, are showing up as symbols of love and support
and saying, “Let’s go on this journey together. Let’s remember  who we
truly are. Let’s be shown our wholeness. Let’s not be tempted to become
depressed.” There is much more that awaits beyond the dismantling of
the ego. There is an immense sense of freedom that comes with vibrational
connections and collaborations. Being connected to the Spirit, you feel
free. You don’t feel bound to the world. Your mind is not think ing, How
am I going to survive, what’ s going to happen tomorr ow, and how am I
going to deal with this and that?, the typical things that the egoic mind is
focusing on. In holy collaboratio n, your mind is lifted into a realm that’s
higher than those doubts, fears, and concerns, and your spirit emanates
from this higher place. It’ s divine!Exercise: Clearing the W ay for Collaboration
Sit quietly and allow a current relationship to come into
awareness. Any relationship  that comes to your mind can be
used. You can repeat this exercise as many times as you’d like
and with any of your relationships. Use your journal to answer the
following questions. 1. How do you define the role you play in the relationship? Examples could be girlfriend, husband, friend, mothe r,
grandparent, or boss. Includ e what expectations you have
of yourself in that role. 2. How important is it that you define yourself as this role? Write down any thoughts that cross your mind, such as It is
my identity. I would be lost without this. I worked hard to get
to here. I have proven myself worthy of it. Others depend
on me to uphold them. 3. What roles have you assigned the other person in this
relationship, and what are your expectations of them? For
example, I expect my husband to provide for me and my
family and love me as his wife. I expect my sister to be
supportive and always agree with me. 4. Is there a link between the different roles you have
assigned for both of you and the expectations you have
about the relationship? Describe it in your journal. 5. Finally, in your definition of the relationship (marriag e,
friendship, coworker, or another agreement), ask yourse lf:
How does this definition lock you and the other into place? Write down how you feel about this. 6. Does this definition of the relationship adhere to social or
cultural standa rds and past thinking? Write down what
those standard s are and your thoughts and associations
around them.Put away your pen now and gently imagine yourself in this
same relation ship but without the expectations you have
identified. Let any feelings you may have about releasing the
relationship as you currently see it come to the surface. Take your
time to allow this to feel helpful and relaxing. Now it’ s time to make a promise or prayer for healing:
Holy Spirit, help me to expand my view of this relationship so
that I may realize our shared nature of innocence, peace, and
love. Show me even in small ways that Y ou provide the miracle
I’m seeking in all my relationships. Guide me so that I may be
truly happy. Amen. It only takes a little willing ness, so I encourage you to
envision your relationship outside of past parameters and into
purpose. Allow an experience of giving over your relationship for
the purpose of healing. You may feel some uneasiness or
discomfort when looking at changing old habits of relating with
others. The greatest shift that I encourage you to make is the one
in your mind. Allow yourself to change the direction of your
thinking, and this will be reflected in your relationships. A Collaborative Purpose
There may be many in your circle of relationships who are not able to
hear about your desire for deepe ning and healing. The important thing is
to allow yourself to look at these concerns and allow the fear to rise from
within to be released. Remember that all of your concerns or discomforts
come from the ego’s fear of love. So, having this broader context for
moving ahead with the suggesti ons I have offered can make the process
easier to give yourself allowance for imperfection and fears that arise. Allow the excitement of the journey and the tickle in your heart for
healing to guide the way. The more you practice showing up with the purpose of the Holy
Spirit in the forefront, the more  you start to draw forth witnesses of thisnew purpose. Relationships and collaboration may take on a whole new
meaning! It can be with old friends who are ready to expand with you or
new ones comin g into your life as reflections of your new purpose. It
really only takes practice. It doesn’ t matter how long you’ve been on the
spiritual journey ; it’s about your willingness to practice the steps, to
practice the principles, and to invite and allow the healing collaborations. It is not necessary that you fully believe in or welcome these
practices. It is their use that will show you they are true. That’ s powerful. That’ s a huge emphasis on pract ical application. Don’ t be disheartened if
you find yourse lf resisting the unconditional love impulse as it arises in
these “new” relationships. The ego is extremely threatened by this
impulse for unconditional love, for agape love. Be assured, as you align
with the purpos e of love and joy, a flood of miracles will show up and
naturally dissolve all the unhelpful thoughts and fears.Chapter 14
Holy Relationship
Finding yourself on Earth comes with the belief that you could leave
God and exist in a far, far land that’s very strange and very different than
Home. You may feel at times like you are caught in no-mans-land. You
are just in betwe en, you’re in betwixt in this transformation, and it does
not feel stable. It doesn’ t feel consistent. It doesn’ t feel harmonious. It
feels stirred up, like there’ s a great sorting out going on, and you are
smack-dab in the middle of the sorting. That’ s when you’re grateful to
have a companion or a partner, and you can say, “Here we go; another
day of this healing process. Let’s commit to purpose, and we’ll be ready
for whatever is coming our way!”
As you make a stronger comm itment to healing your mind and if
you have a relationship with a special partner, you may feel your
relationship begin to transform and shift as you align and open to the
Spirit’ s path. The relationship is basically leaving its former goal, maybe
of gratification, for a higher goal of peace of mind. This is an experience
of relationships becoming less personal and more encompassing. In other
words, the move from special relationship to holy relationship is directly
related to the shift from a special—distinct and separate—purp ose to a
holy purpose in your mind. The decision for holiness or holy relationship
comes from within and is reflected as a deeply felt purpose in each and
every encounter and situation. Entering into holy relationship means that
you will find a deeper meaning in the stillness of your mind. You will be
happy because you experience the meaning of the present moment and
the miracle that is your essence. This is the birth and the being of your
Self. Until you reach this higher self-realization, people in your life are
just concretized beliefs, acting out the unhealed parts of your mind. At
times it can look very dysfunc tional, with lots of hiding and people
pleasing. This is why you need supportive friends and holy companions.As you move forward, after a lot of inner work

 as to avoid the resurgence of hunger later. This process is
akin to deprogramming Pavlovian conditioning. Asceticism can be a discipline that is introduced into routine daily life
on a modified basis and maintained as a lifestyle. It leads to economy of
time, energy, money, and other resources. It is freeing to discover how little
one actually requires in order to subsist, function, and enjoy life. Renunciation
This is a traditional type of spiritual retreat from the world and
sometimes done for variable periods, such as even just a weekend. Truerenunciation, however, in its full understanding, is the application of
renunciation to the payoffs of the ego itself and the identification of self
with body, emotions, or mind. By renunciation and dissociation through
surrender and relinquishment, it is discovered that none of them are ‘me’ or
even ‘mine’. In actuality, they are autonomous functionalities. One can
renounce the seeking of gain or worldliness as well as the seeking of
pleasure, excitement, or titillation. One can renounce the assumption that
perceptions are reality or essence. By renunciation, one can withdraw
invested emotional energy and interest in the world without physically
having to depart from it. Formal renunciation as a lifestyle has been and still is an option for
devotees for whom such a major decision is appropriate. Such communities
have prevailing requirements, and monastic orders are well known
(Trappists, Dominicans, Benedictines, Buddhists, the Ramakrishna Order,
etc.). Most require vows of allegiance and serious commitment. The World
The planet is part of the physical universe and thereby subject to its
transitions and evolutionary phenomena. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes,
tsunamis, forest fires, and floods have been recurring over the eons of time,
including the impact of giant meteors that filled the sky with dust and
smothered all of life. It is therefore naïve to assume that phenomena are
consequent to mankind’s follies, frailties, failures, or religious belief
systems. So-called ‘end times’ phenomena are redundant, both before and
subsequent to the emergence of Homo sapiens. Numerous are the prophets
and prophesies that have come and gone. When the great meteors hit and
blanked out the sky, mankind was not yet even born. Contextualizing
earthly phenomena as evidence of the ‘wrath of God’ is primitive, naïve,
and an anthropomorphic distortion of the Reality of Divinity. God is not
emotionally imbalanced or needful of psychological help, spiritual
counseling, or anger-management classes
Even if all these mystifications were true, of what interest is it, anyway,
to the individual seeker? If life on earth is to end in either a few years, or in
the year 6017 or 8095, so what? What does it really have to do with one’s
own level of spiritual evolution? The wise renounce public hysteria or mass
suicides because a comet is sighted somewhere in space. Even if an ‘end
times’ catastrophe were to happen, it would seem to be a better decision topray rather than kill oneself inasmuch as one’s death would be a certainty,
and suicide carries karmic consequences. The evolution of human consciousness expresses its cultural and social
changes that, in turn, reflect karmic propensities and inheritances of whole
groups of people over great periods of time. In the East, karma is a matter
of ordinary acceptance, but that is not so in the Western world, which even
lauds unaccountability and irresponsibility as promoted by moralistic
relativism. By consciousness calibration research, it is demonstrable that every
thought, action, word, or deed is recorded forever, beyond time, in an
infinite field of consciousness for eternity. It is affirmed by consciousness
research that everyone is accountable to the universe (Divinity) by virtue of
Divine Justice. Thus, everyone already has a calibratable level of
consciousness from the very moment of birth. Life is neither accidental nor
arbitrary, nor is it based on anarchy. The stratification of levels of
consciousness are influential by virtue of their prevailing, powerful
‘attractor fields’ (see Power vs. Force) whereby like goes to like by
attraction and alignment. Q: As a spiritual person, what is our responsibility in relation to world
events? A: This depends on one’s current prevailing level of consciousness. Confusion arises from mixing the levels. To act according to the
spiritual principles of mercy, forgiveness, love, and compassion applies
at all levels, of course, but how these are interpreted and what they are
understood to signify regarding action depends on perception and
degree of spiritual maturity. Earthly life affords maximum karmic opportunity to not only acquire
‘good’ karma but also to undo negative karma. For example, whole
populations and groups have accumulated both positive and negative
spiritual consequences as the result of barbaric savagery, just as they do
in today’s headlines. Thus, there are spiritual ‘debts’ as well as benefits. While it is commonly believed that Christianity does not teach karma,
that is not true. It does indeed, but it merely does not use the specific
term. Christianity teaches that sin and virtue have very different
consequences for the soul after death. These include the karmic
alternatives of not only heaven or hell, but also purgatory. In addition, atraditional teaching is that man was ‘born in sin’ due to the fall of Adam
and Eve and is thus karmically affected by succumbing to temptation
and refusing obedience to God. Subsequently, God’s mercy is
represented by the presentation of a savior born for the sake of man’s
redemption. As Jesus said, “None get to heaven but by Me.”
   In Buddhism, there is the Lotus Land (Heaven) where an aspect of the
Buddha speaks as an advocate. From another culture in a different time,
Krishna also taught that those who worship and love God by whatever
name are “Mine and dear to Me.” This is the same teaching presented in
the Ninety-first Psalm. The primary spiritual gift of human existence is the opportunity that
by the option of one’s own free will, Divinity may be chosen or rejected
by whatever name God is known. Thus, human life and the permission
to incarnate as a human are great gifts in themselves, as was pointed out
by the Buddha. Affairs of the world are perceived and interpreted in accordance with
one’s level of consciousness. Therefore, the world may appear to be
tragic, sad, miserable, or fearful, or it may, on the contrary, seem
tempting, exciting, and challenging. In the high 500s, it is viewed with
compassion and seen as beauty. In the 600s, it is seen as peaceful, and
then, in the 700s, as Ramana Maharshi said, “The world you ‘see’ (i.e.,
perception) does not even exist; therefore, surrender it to God.”
   Human life is a major spiritual opportunity for consciousness to
evolve and even reach Enlightenment. It is an expression of the gift of
life, through which one can eventually realize the Self. Worldly
temporal life is transitory and brief, but its consequences are very long
term. It is therefore best to treasure the opportunity with gratitude. Spiritual endeavor is, in and of itself, an expression of appreciation for
that gift of life. Q: But what about the vicissitudes of life? A: Each has a hidden gift. Sometimes it is an opportunity to undo past
suffering brought to others. Sometimes the suffering is due to resistance
and is a consequence of the ego’s personal will and therefore needful of
surrender. An overall attitude of humility is very helpful, and by
surrender, the hidden gift is revealed. How a specific situation ishandled depends on how it is conceptualized and contextualized, and
therefore, what it seems to ‘mean’. Q: Is a given event an opportunity, or is it a temptation? A: From the view of consciousness itself, one might say that the world is
really amorphous, and that all meaning is a derivation of projected
value, perceptual interpretation, and mentation. If the predominant
lesson that is arising at a certain level of consciousness is nonattachment
to success, desire, or pleasure, the temptations of the world could be
refused. Also, a surrender of positionalities might result in deciding to
actually surrender the world to God. A person in a similar situation
might see a worldly event as a call for selfless service. Another might
view it as a call for taking an integrous stand or, on the contrary,
refusing to take any position and may be seeing it as a reflection of
perception and any decision as a vanity of egoism. There is no point to jumping in to ‘save the world’ when the perceived
world is merely an illusion of projected values, presumptions, and
interpretations. The integrous student chooses what appears to be the
highest, and to evolve spiritually is actually the greatest gift one can
give the world. This is done by virtue of what one is and not just by
what one does. The truly great have come and gone, and what they left
behind was the consequence of what they were and had become. Q: Thus, renunciation is an internal, not an external, event. A: Noninvolvement means

reason  and  science  with  whom  I  could  work. Under  his  supervision,  three  erudite  diagnosticians
were  enlisted  to  review  my  biopsies,  old  and  current. Everyone  agreed  on  one  point:  it  was  a  very  rare
strain  of  cancer. This  was,  at  least,  a  good  beginning. 1  implored  them  to  tell  me  the  exact  nature  of  my
condition;  no  more  shots  in  the  dark. I  tested  the
patience  and  genius  of  my  doctor  and  found  his  kind-
ness and  genius  rare. Together,  working  with  method,
reason,  and  prayer,  we  eventually  succeeded. My  body
was  totally  free  of  any  signs  of  cancer. He  quickly
encouraged  me  to  reunite  with  my  family,  who  had
since  migrated  to  Canada  due  to  the  internal  conflicts
in  British  Guiana. Upon  returning  from  an  embracing  reconciliation
with  my  family,  I  went  back  to  sit  in  my  park  in
Greenwich  Village. This  time  the  pigeons  stayed  and
scrounged  around  uninterruptedly  for  food. I  knew
then  that  I  was  free  of  my  cancer. I  knew  that  I  need
never  go  back  to  the  hospital  for  further  blood  tests. The  cognitive1  memories  of  my  past  and  future  had
become  so  powerful  that  they  would  guide  me  through
this  weave  of  form,  motion,  and  sound  called  life,
until  in  time  even  that  weave  would  be  erased  by  the
eternal  consciousness. Now  the  real  work  was  to  begin. It  was  time  to  test
my  bravado,  for  it  takes  courage  to  live  a  simple,
decent,  and  honest  life. I  learned  to  accommodate
and  forgive  the  people  who  caused  me  pain. I  learned
to  forgive  myself  for  my  own  trespasses. Little  by
little,  I  increased  my  quiet  time. As  the  daily  routine  became  a  daily  discipline,  the
grace  in  my  life  increased. I  began  to  aid  fellow  cancer
patients,  most  of  whom  were  left  helpless  by  conven-
tional therapies. I  was  asked  to  meet  with  a  young
man  named  Russell  who  had  prostate  cancer. His
father,  who  strongly  supported  conventional  therapy,
was  quite  concerned  that  his  son  opted  for  the  alter-
native course  of  macrobiotics. When  I  saw  Russell  in
Newport,  Rhode  Island,  two  years  later,  his  radiant
health  and  good  looks  commanded  my  attention. He
had  cured  himself  of  cancer  through  the  use  of  whole-
some foods  and  activities,  and  through  the  recogni-
tion of  the  oneness  between  his  self  and  the  supreme
spirit. I  was  beginning  to  understand  that  it  is  the  spirit
of  light,  air,  soil,  and  the  river  which  appears  as  this
densely  packed  energy  I  call  my  body. As  humans,  we
become  so  thickly  absorbed  in  our  separate  and  false
realities  that  we  lose  our  memory  of  being. In  order
to  heal,  we  need  to  remember  our  being. Every  action
we  perform  flows  from  the  immovable  axis  of  our
spirit. I  began  to  apply  a  constant  alertness  in  my  life. My
practice  of  yoga  asanas  and  meditation  began. Study-
ing natural  means  to  good  health  became  part  of  my
daily  life. While  I  continued  to  live  and  work  in  New
York,  with  all  its  distractions,  for  years  after  my  can-
cer bout,  my  focus  was  on  the  dharma  and  values
important  to  my  newly  found  freedom. My  life  be-
came wholesome  and  conscious. I  enjoyed  the  grace
of  my  beautiful  friends  Aveline  and  Michio  Kushi,
pillars  of  the  macrobiotic  way  of  life. I  began  home
studies  in  Oriental  medicine,  and  finally  my  search
led  me  to  the  discovery  of  Ayurveda,  the  mother  of  all
healing  sciences. Perhaps  it  was  my  Hindu  lineage  that  created  such
a  deep  desire  in  me  to  delve  into  this  ancient  wisdom
of  God,  man,  and  nature. My  studies  of  Ayurveda  are
based  on  the  collected  Sanskrit  works,  Samhitas,  of
Charaka  and  Sushruta,  and  an  array  of  Ayurvedic
works  by  masters  such  as  Vaidya  Bhagwan  Dash,  Pandit
Shiv  Sharma,  Dr.  Vasant  Lad,  and  Dr.  Robert  E.
Svoboda. It  has  been  twelve  years  since  I  began  practicing
and  studying  the  general  disciplines  of  naturopathy. This  book  is  a  synthesis  of  my  life's  discoveries. The
unerasable  truths  and  knowledge  I  found  within  myself
lie  within  each  of  us. We  can  all  tap  this  storehouse  of
cognitive  memories. My  story  is  one  of  how  disease
establishes  itself  in  a  body  that  refused  to  acknowl-
edge its  roots,  that  denied  painful  or  unpleasant  expe-
riential memories. By  severing  part  of  my  experiential
memory,  I  had  severed  my  deeper  roots  to  the  earth
and  my  cosmic  connection,  as  it  were,  in  the  form  of
my  cognitive  memory. I  devote  some  of  the  first  chap-
ter in  this  book  to  examining  the  significance  of  cog-
nitive memory  in  wholesome  and  healthful  living. Although  this  book  is  based  on  the  Ayurvedic  sys-
tem of  wellness,  I  have  extracted  and  fused  informa-

tion  from  many  systems  and  global  practices. Most
recently  I  have  delved  into  the  endless  well  of  nectar,
Vedanta — the  end  portion  of  the  Vedas  dealing  with
the  study  of  self-knowledge. After  my  father's  death,  the  Lord's  abiding  and
abundant  grace  blessed  me  with  the  arrival  of  my
beloved  teacher,  His  Holiness  Swami  Dayananda
Saraswati. I  lived  with  my  teacher  for  several  years
and  began  my  official  studies  in  Sanskrit  and  Vedanta. Though  I  no  longer  live  at  the  ashram,  the  presence  of
this  great  sage  is  continually  with  me  as  I  study  and
imbibe  his  great  wisdom  and  guidance  in  the  daily
dispensation  of  living. I  begin  this  book  with  a  peace  invocation  from  the
