 uniform and parallel.
Children ofsome women who averaged only oneounce ofpure alcohol daily (two
standard drinks) during pregnancy showed significantly decreased birth weights. Even
women who reported drinking aslittle asoneounce ofalcohol twice weekly experienced
“sizeable andsignificant increases inspontaneous abortions” when compared with non-
drinking women.
Fetal alcohol syndrome, acondition characterized byspecific facial abnormalities,
growth deficiencies, central nervous system disorders andmental retardation appears to
betriggered predominantly bychronic alcoholism inpregnant women, although heavy
smoking, stress and poor nutrition also contribute to the syndrome’ s severity.
78.13.2 Caffeine
Ithasbeen reported that, inrats, acaffeine dose aslowasanequivalent four cups
perdaycanenhance theteratogenetic effects ofother agents. Dr.Jacobson suggests that
ifoneestimates thesafe human dose as1/100ofthetoxic animal dose (aruleofthumb
often used), afraction ofacupofcoffeewould beconsidered unsafe. Twohuman stud-
ieshave shown evidence ofbirth defects related tocaffeine intake. Inonecase there was
acorrelation oftoxicity with consumption ofmore than eight cups ofcoffee perdayby
themother.Inanother study,heavy caffeine consumption was associated with breech
presentations, history oflossinprevious pregnancies anddecreased activity andmuscle
tone.
Dr.H.Nishimura and hiscolleagues atTokyo University found that injecting
100-200 milligrams ofcaffeine perkilogram ofbody weight intopregnant mice induced
birth defects insixtotwenty percent oftheoffspring. Inthree additional studies conduct-
edinGermany,France andEngland, caffeine wasfedtopregnant mice inamounts cor-
responding to25cups ofcoffeeperdayforawoman (50to75milligrams perkilogram).
Birth defects occurred inonetothree percent ofthebaby mice intwoofthestudies but
were notobserved inthethird. Higher oraldose ofcaffeine, 100to150milligrams per
kilogram caused malformations in eight to twenty percent of the fetuses, respectively.78.13.3 Smoking
Inastudy ofpregnant women, researchers found carboxyhemoglobin levels inthe
fetus tobe1.8times asgreat asthose inthesimultaneously measured Woodofthemoth-
er. Fetal blood was exposed to carbon monoxide in vitro.
Harlap andDavies studied infant admissions toHadassah Hospital inWestJerusalem
andfound arelationship between admissions forbronchitis andpneumonia inthefirst
year oflifeandmaternal smoking habits during pregnancy.Data onmaternal smoking
habits after thebirth ofthechild were notobtained, butitcanbeassumed thatmost of
themothers who smoked during pregnancy continued tosmoke during thefirst year of
theinfant’ slife. Arelationship between infant admission andmaternal smoking habits
wasdemonstrable only between thesixth andninth months ofinfant lifeandwasmore
pronounced during thewinter months when theeffectofcigarette smoke ontheindoor
environment would begreatest. Mothers who smoke during pregnancy areknown to
have infants with alower average birth weight than theinfants ofnonsmoking mothers.
Therelationship between maternal smoking andtheir infants’ admission tothehospital
found inthisstudy wasgreater forlowbirth weight infants, butwas, alsofound fornor-
malbirth weight infants. Harlap andDavies demonstrated adose-response relationship
formaternal smoking andinfant admission forbronchitis andpneumonia; however,they
alsofound arelationship between maternal smoking andinfant admission forpoisoning
and injuries.
78.13.4 Diet
Proper dietbefore andduring pregnancy isextremely important forthewelfare of
themother andfetus. The common practice ofeating largeamounts ofhighly-refined
foods, cooked foods, candies, pastries, canned foods, etc., isonemajor cause ofillness
during pregnancy and physical degeneration of our youth.
Thetime toimprove your dietisbefore conception. Itisimportant tohave apure and
properly functioning body sothatthefetus cangrow anddevelop normally.When you
eatfoods thatareladen with chemicals andother poisons, your health andthatofyour
unborn child will be adversely af fected.
Thedietthatismost conducive tohealth issuch asimple onethateveryone canadapt

and seeds. Optimum nutrition will be assured on such a diet.
78.13.5 Exercise
Exercise isessential fortotal health andwell-being. When youengage inaregular
exercise routine, your circulation, digestion andassimilation will improve, andallor-
gans will work more ef ficiently.
Withproper exercise, diet, restandsleep, fresh air,sunshine, pure water andallthe

Arethere anysimilarities between thehuman menstrual cycle andthat ofother
primates?Bydefinition, themenstrual cycle begins onthefirst dayofflow andends the
daybefore thenext period ofbreeding. Inthehuman female, theaverage menstrual
cycle is28days inlength. Thecycle ofthechacma baboon is32days andamaz-
ingly regular incontrast tothewide individual andmonthly variability ofthehu-
man cycle. Mean menstruations arefiveweeks apart inthechimpanzee. Theaver-
ageprimate cycle occupies about onelunar month. Primates (apes andmen) donot
have a single breeding season but are fertile throughout the year.
Why does sterility occur in some people?
Sterility inhuman beings may have several causes. Itmay result from defects
inthestructure ofthereproductive organs. Certain diseases thathave resulted from
unhealthful living practices may affectthereproductive organs andcause sterili-
ty.Improper balance ofthehormones produced bythepituitary gland, thethyroid
gland, theadrenal glands andthesexglands may result infailure toproduce eggs
or sperm.
What arethesexsteroids and what effect dothey have onmale and female
characteristics?
Thesexsteroids, estrogen andprogesterone,, aregiven offbytheovaries (fe-
male sexorgans). These steroids areresponsible forthefemale’ ssmooth, softskin;
high-pitched voice; rounded hips; and the development of the breasts.
Andr ogens aresexsteroids thatareproduced bythetestes (male sexglands).
Androgens areresponsible forthemale’ sbeard, largemuscles anddeep voice. They
may even influence personality traits such asaggressiveness, which isconsidered a
male characteristic.
Every month about fivedays before Ibegin tomenstruate, Idevelop edema. My
doctor prescribed water pills but I do not like to take medication. What can I do?
Fortunately your problem isnotabigone. Itcanbeovercome easily.First, I
suggest thatyoutryfasting forawhile, about four tofivedays. Yourtotal intake
should bedistilled water asthirst requires. Then Isuggest thatyoustart eating only
fruits, vegetables, nuts andseeds, allrawandproperly combined. Youmust not
eatanysalt, condiments, cooked foods, softdrinks, canned foods, processed foods,
fried foods, or anything other than fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Water retention (edema) isdue totoxic materials intheblood and lymph
stream—usually inorganic materials from salt, minerals from hard water,minerals
from deranged cooked foods andfrom irritants asfound incondiments. Thebody
buffersthese toxins with, water sothey willofferlessharm tothecells andtissues.
When you remove the causes, the problems cease.
Article #1: Sterility In Women by Herbert M. Shelton
Thepattern ofthecase wassimple andfamiliar: Ayoung Italian woman hadbeen mar-
ried forfive years toavirile young man, also Italian. Both wanted children andhad
avoided allefforts atbirth control inthehope thatpregnancy would take place. Itdid
not.
Sheconsulted several physicians who assured herthathersterility waspermanent.
Herfather -in-law told herofthefastandofthepossibility thatitmight help her.She
consulted a Hygienist.
“Willafastenable metobecome pregnant?” sheasked. Itwasexplained toherthat
there aredifferent reasons forsterility andthatsome ofthem yield tothefast, others donot.After interrogation, shewas told thattheprobability was thatafastwould enable
her to become pregnant.
Sheunderwent thefast. Afewweeks after thefastwasbroken, sheconceived and
later bore abright, healthy boy.This isonecase outofmany ofsimilar nature. Fasting
hasenabled many women toconceive after years ofsterility.Many of


 forherfamily,lived anactive life, yethadnoappetite for
food. Both ofthese women maintain they liveonGod’ slight. When asked toexplain,
they saytheir secret cannot berevealed, thatitisnotforthemass ofmankind, inthis
day,butonly toprove thatwearespirit, andthatultimately thatspirit willruletheflesh.
Article #3: The Doctrine of the Memory of Cells by Stanley Bass
Man isconstructed basically from thefood andliquids which enter hisbody.When food
iseaten, aprofound effectisexerted upon theconsumer inboth thefeeling andthinking
nature, depending upon whether theorigin ofthefood isfrom thevegetable oranimal
kingdom. Thevegetable food induces astate oftranquility andinner peace inboth feel-
ingandthought with adisinclination toviolence toeither man oranyliving creature.
The animal food induces astate ofvolatility andrestlessness inthefeeling, passional
andmental nature with aninclination toanger andviolence. Themanifestation ofthese
characteristics have their origin intwosources. First,from theintrinsic nature ofthe
food itself.
Forexample, iftheperson eatsflesh, thefeelings andemotions such asfearandter-
rorwhich theanimal experienced before itwasslaughtered aretransported along with
itstissues totheconsumer.Then again, according tomany religions, thepassion-excit-
ingqualities associated with allanimal products aresaidtoreside initsblood. Also, we
have here aprotein which wasonce alive, butisnow dead andfilled with theproducts of
decomposition, bacteria andadded chemicals, etc.Thetendencies produced bythisare
sluggishness, torpor andinertia. Allofthisadds uptoanassortment ofdisquieting char-
acteristics ofmental, feeling andemotional stuffwhich isingested along with theflesh
which isconsumed. Thesame corresponding interaction applies toallother food which
iseaten. Any inorganic minerals, chemicals orpreservatives which areadded from the
mineral kingdom arenotdirectly usable bythebody unless they have firstbeen incorpo-
rated intothevegetable kingdom. Their presence inthisinorganic form actsasanirritant
tothebody which manifests asthoughts andfeelings ofirritability,hyperactivity,rest-
lessness, sensitivity and feelings of insecurity.
Thesecond source oforigin ofsome mental andemotional tendencies relates toour
state ofmind when weeat.Insome strange andasyetinexplicable manner,thethoughts
andfeelings wehave atthemoment weareeating enter andcombine with thefood. They
aretransported along with thefood andareincorporated intotheformation andfixation
ofthecells which areconstantly being synthesized inallparts ofthebody.There they
remain captive toexert either subconscious orconscious thought, feeling andbehavior
tendencies in the individual.
Now,when aperson decides tounder goaprocess ofdetoxication, either bylosing
weight through restricting thefood intake, orbyupgrading thequality offood con-
sumed, avery interesting process occurs. When thebody intelligence sees thatahigher
quality offoods iscoming inthatissuperior tothematerial thatitstissues aremade of,
itimmediately begins todisintegrate andeliminate itsinferior tissues tomake room for
thisbetter material inanew tissue formation. Asthese cells aredissolved, thememories,
feelings andthought tendencies which were originally associated with theformation of
these cells arereleased intothebloodstream. Therein, they circulate throughout thebody
andeventually aretransported into thebrain. When they enter thebrain, there isare-
tracing ofthese memories andthoughts astheindividual once again becomes conscious
ofthem. Acatharsis orwashing outofthese thoughts andfeelings occurs andtheir hold
upon theindividual isbroken from thesubconscious fabric. Afeeling oflightness, lib-
eration andfreedom from bondage isexperienced andwith itcomes afeeling ofrelease
that one feels when a phase of life is completely finished with.Ittakes 7years tochange andcompletely replace every cellofthebody.When we
detoxicate thebody through fasting, forexample, ascells which are6to7years old
aredisintegrated, weonce again experience memories thatexisted atthattime, buthave
since been forgotten. Asoldfluids inthelymph spaces arediscarded, their associat-
edmemories gowith them. Ifaperson hasn’ teaten chocolate forsay20years, butthe
chocolate hasbeen retained inlymph spaces orfatcells, thetaste andsmell ofthechoco-
latewillleave thebody andbecome evident totheindividual andoutsiders associated
with theperson—both willsmell thechocolate. Thememories associated with thetime
it was consumed will flash back into the person’ s consciousness.
Strange asthistheory may sound, Ihave noticed thetruth associated with itinmy
own lifeformore than 25years andinthelives ofhundreds ofothers who were puz-
zled about theburied subconscious memories which became released when they purified
their bodies and bloodstreams.
Themoral ofthisstory isthatitshould teach usthat: (a)there ismore tofood than
justthechemistry ofit(proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc.); (b)thefeelin-
gs,emotions, thoughts andcharacter ofanindividual areinsome subtle manner closely
associated tothequality ofthefood weeat.Itmakes onethink about thecharacter ofthe
person who willbepermitted toprepare thefood ofthehousehold; and(c)itisimportant
thattheelement oftime beconsidered inthechangeover ofanindividual from alower
toahigher quality ofdietary.Asthebody changes, sowillthequality ofthefeelings,
emotions, thoughts andgoals change. Theprocess issubtle andtakes time. Withchange
ofblood andtissue chemistry comes change ofcharacter.Herein isthetruealchemy of
the“philosopher ’sstone,” thechanging ofbase metal into gold, soeagerly sought by
themedieval alchemists. Itbehooves usalltobecome modern alchemists bylearning
totransmute thebest food ofnature into thebest character -material which ispossible,
which without fail will lead us to the highest happiness which is possible.

Jealousy means anintolerance ofrivalry or“unfaithfulness,” andanapprehensiveness

who isjealous because itimpairs allthefunctions ofthebody.Jealousy consumes nerve
energy atarapid rateandhardens thefeatures asfewthings will. Strong jealousy isa
type ofinsanity,acombination ofinferiority andselfishness. Jealousy isnotmerely the
fearoflosing the“beloved” one, foroften there isnoreallove fortheobject ofjealousy;
itsprings largely,often wholly,fromwounded vanity.Wounded self-esteem, rather than
undying love, characterizes thepsychology ofthedeserted lover.This isforcibly illus-
trated bythewell-known factthattheagony produced byadeath, terrible astheshock

than the pain and chagrin of a lover ’s “infidelity.”
Incottages andluxurious palaces green-eyed jealousy takes allthejoyoutofdomes-

Thewarming isexpected tobegreater attheNorth andSouth Poles andlessattheequa-
tor,theEPAsaid. John Hoffman, head ofstrategic studies fortheagency,said “New
York City could have a climate like Daytona Beach (Florida) by 2100”.
Amajor report issued in1983 bytheNational Academy ofSciences said thatthe
approaching warming oftheearth “isreason forconcern, notpanic”. Thereport warned,
however,thatawarming trend anddecreased precipitation could “severely affect” the
Texas gulf, RioGrande, upper andlower Colorado River regions; California; andother
Western regions. One projection inthereport shows apossible reduction inwater sup-
plyofnearly 50% when thefullforce ofthewarming phenomenon isfeltafter theyear
2000. The tone oftheacademy warning was lessurgent than theEPA’s,stressing the
need for“more intense research”. However,theacademy found thatsince (intheir opin-
ion) there isnopolitically oreconomically realistic way ofheading offthegreenhouse
effect, strategies must beprepared toadapt toa“high temperature world.” TheEPAre-
portsaidthateven atotal banoncoal would only delay theprocess forafewyears, and
said that, because theCO2 intheearth’ satmosphere retains heat rather than permits it
toescape intospace, thus creating thegreenhouse effect, thebuildup ofgaswillbeac-
companied byariseofglobal surface temperatures, most likely intherange of2to8
degrees F.These projections areroughly similar tothose intheEPAreport; itisexpected
thatthisrisewillbeaccompanied by“rapid climate change, including changes inrain-
fall patterns, as well as a rise in the sea level of over two feet”.
Some additional notes on the greenhouse ef fect are of importance:
Recent investigations have established that other man-made pollutant trace gases
may increase thegreenhouse effectbyanother 50% (Flohn, 1979; Kellogg andSchware,
1981). These gases come primarily from burning vegetation, release ofindustrial halo-
carbons (freons), andthedenitrification ofnitrogen fertilizers inthesoil. TheGreen-
house Effect bymeteorologist Harold Bernard, issues astrong warning thattheheating
effects alone will likely bedevastating tohumanity duetoincreasing climatic stress;
agriculture inparticular willsuffergreatly.Hecites increasing storminess with tornados,
hurricanes, floods, searing “dust bowl”-type droughts, water depletion, andmassive for-
estfires ifwecontinue onthefossil fuel route, presenting awhole bank ofreasons
against doing so.
The lastfew years have seen dramatic changes inprecipitation—more rainfall in
some areas, more drought inothers— butthese arealsopartoftheweather forecast giv-
enbyscientists who saytheworld iscooling. Apparent warming trends could besu-
perceded bycooling trends inthelong run, ifweareduefortransition into aglacial
period.
Systematic measurements ofatmospheric CO2 began only aslateas1958 (Calder,
1975). Most climatologists seem fond ofrepeating thedangerous oversimplification of
CO 2’ s greenhouse ef fect, that is, that the earth will warm up as a result.
Ina1977 paper,Hamaker asked, “How Rapidly isCO2 Increasing inourAtmos-
phere?” In1977, aNational Academy Sciences panel onenergyandclimate provided a
frightening statistic (Charles Keeling, Science,9/2/77).Keeling saidthere’d been a13%
risesince theIndustrial Revolution began. Alarming isthefactthatfiveofthis13% had
occurred since 1962“. That same Science article discussed theoversimplified comput-
ermodels ofCO2’ s“general warming” effect, andstated thatthere aresome scientists
who “privately suggest” thatbecause of“complex feedback phenomena“, global cooling
could result.
Hamaker says that even iftheaverage temperature oftheatmosphere isgetting
warmer,itisfalse toassume polar icewillmelt andtemperate zones willmove toward
thepoles. According toHamaker,“the experts have given usatime scale forweatherchanges thatislonger than wehave. Many things areoperating atonce toaffectclimate.
They allhave long overlapping time lags sothatwecannot saythatthishappens, then
this, andthen this. Butthefirst stage ofglaciation, which isinitiated byachange from
temperate zone tonorthern latitude types oftrees, andbydying oftropical forests, is
here now.”
Hamaker says “the theory thattheworld willgetwarmer isbased ontheabsurd idea
thattheearth’ saverage temperature depends solely onthesun’senergyandtheheating
effect ofatmospheric CO2. Onthatbasis these scientists have projected ariseintemper-
ature inthenext century when theCO2 hasdoubled, sothey have drawn alinetangent to
therecorded curve andending upinthenext century.”Hedisagrees with theprojection,
saying thatnature isclearly drawing acurve thatisconstantly increasing atanaccelerat-
ingrateofincrease, andthescientists have merely decided thatnature must change her
ways to suit their predictions.
Thetime tostop theonset ofglaciation isbefore itstarts, because itstarts with the
destruction ofagriculture. Hamaker says thatwemust actnow,before ourtechnologi-
calcapacity toremineralize thesoilislostinthechaos ofaworld ofstarving anddy-
ingnations. Aswesaid, climatic cycles andfactors may overlap, butwecanidentify a
point inthewhole climate cycle atwhich thetemperate zone climate isdestroyed and
westop eating! Wecanchart theCO2 content oftheatmosphere andknow whether we

notemperate zone could beapproaching. Wemust remineralize theworld’ ssoils andput
carbon back intotheearth asfastaswecantoreverse theCO2 curve andbring itback
to a safe level.
Hamaker says thatscientists predicting awarming also aren’ ttaking intoconsidera-
tiontheroleoflifeinandonthesoilindemineralizing itinaperiod of10,000 to15,000
years, depending ontheamount ofground rock supplied bythelastglacial advance, nor
dothey allunderstand theearth’ stectonic system anditsroleindetermining theweather.
Theclimate cycle isaby-product oftheentirelifesystem, allofwhich rests ontheex-
penditure ofatomic energyinthetectonic system. There aretwoenergy systems which
arepowerful incomparison toother factors (such assunspots, Milankovitch’ stheory,or
thealignment ofplanets inspace)—the effects ofthese other factors may benoted, but
they don’tsubstantially alter theglacial process—both oftheprimary energy systems
use the ener gy in the atom. One is the sun and the other is the tectonic system.
Theearth constantly intercepts thesun’senergy.Iftheenergyincident totheearth at
thehigher latitudes isdeflected intospace instead ofbeing absorbed atground level, the
total amount ofenergyavailable towarm theearth isdecreased bythatamount. During a
glacial period thetotal amount ofsunenergyreaching theearth isdecreased because the
CO2 (from thetectonic system) directs aheavy cloud cover tothepolar latitudes. The
clouds have a very high albedo, that is, ability to reflect the sun’ s rays back into pace.
Thetectonic system constantly removes materials from themantle oftheearth, sep-
arates thecompounds containing abalance ofelements useful toliving organisms, and
moves them intothemountains orintotheatmosphere. Compounds containing elements
notrequired forlifeprocesses areconsigned tothecore orarerecycled tobuild thebasic
ocean floor at the ridge.
Everything onearth istotally dependent onthetectonic system; ifitwere torunout
offuel, theearth would becold andlifeless likeMars. Climate isdirectly controlled by
thedischar geofcarbon andsulfur oxides bythetectonic system. Now thatmankind has
ahand inadding CO2 totheair(and making other environmental errors), climate isal-
soaffected bythehuman factor.There isascarcity ofminerals ontheland andinthe
sea,further contributing totheCO2 buildup intheatmosphere asmore andmore CO2 is
supplied bythetectonic system andlessandlessisputback intotheearth’ scrust bythe
living organisms. Allthese factors overlap andaffectclimate. Wecansaythatthemin-
erals (those available tomicroor ganisms) andthecarbon released bythetectonic systemcanbemonitored—and thus, theoretically,canbecontr olled tosome extent—we still
have much to learn in this area, but we can and do


 as mature human beings, we must accept all sides of life as being
part of an absolutely sure and perfect plan for the working out of the
purposes of the Divine.

God Sense

The sixth sense is a God sense, an identification, however momentary, with
the Secret Self, which enables us, in that instant, to perceive future, past,
and present in one instantaneous tableau, to contain all space and time
within the confines of our own consciousness. Such awareness, if
constantly possessed, would make all our actions infallible, and the purpose
of evolution must lie in just such an end as this; the beginnings of such a
development are already perceivable in the lives of many people. The Ouija
board, the divining rod, the crystal ball, and the star gazer have been with us
since the dawn of recorded history. Such phenomena definitely are
indicative of humanity’ s recognition of a power of intuition — a sixth
sense. This paranormal facility of the mind has been lar gely ignored in the
past century of material conquest, but now that the searchlight of scientific
examination is being brought to bear, it appears inevitable that mental and
spiritual advances will overshadow material advances in the years ahead.A new approach, a new concept is necessary before investigation of the
paranormal will yield results. The methods of science have not
demonstrated that they are adaptable to the study of a world that is
invisible. By means of the microscope and the telescope, science has
extended its vision enormously, but in the realm of the microcosm it
disintegrated the atom and found nothing left, and in the world of the
macrocosm it detected distant galaxies moving away at the speed of light
into space that shouldn’ t exist. Ultimately, all investigations of matter have
a common meeting ground, which is the disappearance of individuality into
unity, into a world where space and time and separateness do not exist, and
this world is not capable of representation by objects or material things but
is primarily mental and not subject to the probing of physical instruments.
Investigations in the field of parapsychology have now pr oved that it is
possible for one mind to communicate with another without any known
organic means, and this has been labeled telepathy. It has also been pr oved
that the human mind can attain to knowledge of coming events, and this has
been labeled pr ecognition. It has been pr oved that the human mind can see
at a distance, and this has been labeled clairvoyance. It has been pr oved
that the human mind can influence the behavior of objects, and this has
been labeled psychokinesis. All these powers of the mind, however dimly
discerned or bar ely understood, when lumped together indicate the
existence of an absolutely unexplor ed ar ea of vast and almost unimaginable
possibilities that one day must liberate humanity fr om its bondage to the
flesh. Mor eover, ther e is indicated a coming r evolution in the basic concepts
of life.

The Sea of Consciousness

Science has always investigated a world of multiplicity, attempting to
establish physical relationships between one thing and another. The human,
as animal, exists in a world of action and reaction, but the human, as a
mental being, exists in a world that appears to be without division, withoutspace and time, for inherent in the mental makeup is the ability to transcend
these. No enlightened mind can have any quarrel with the investigations of
Dr. J. B. Rhine and the British mathematician Dr. S. G. Soal in the field of
parapsychology, and from their results the only possible conclusion is this:
There are not many individual minds in the world at all, but only one mind,
and this mind is infinite and eternal and is the sustaining source of each of
us, is in its truest essence all of each of us, just as each of us in truest
essence is all of it. Now if each of us exists in a sea of consciousness, and
the consciousness in us is in everything else and in all other people, it then
becomes possible to understand what we are dealing with when we deal
with extrasensory perception.
It has been stated that human intelligence is like an iceber g, one-third of it
appearing upon the surface, two-thirds existing below, but parapsychology
reveals the relationship between conscious and subconscious intelligence to
be one part to a million. Moreover, universal subconscious mind exhibits no
necessity for being educated during the lifetime of the individual. It
provides eternal and infinite guidance because it has existed since the
beginning of time; all knowledge is contained within it, and that very small
“taught” intelligence acquired by conscious mind is the tiniest light
compared to the illumination known when the individual life has been
turned over to the guidance of the Secret Self. A thousand times more
awareness is obtainable by the person through enlightened use of universal
mind than through ef forts in the world of material things. Once the Secret
Self has been fully exposed to humankind, education, which today takes
sixteen years of a person’ s life, will be accomplished in weeks, even days.
When the powerful and penetrating aspects of universal mind become
common enough knowledge to be taught at our schools, such buildings and
bridges as now are constructed in six months will rise overnight.
There is no such thing as a particle of matter that is not possessed of
conscious intelligence, however low, however restricted by the form in
which it finds itself. All things exist by grace of the Secret Self, which is
innate in each, has become each as part of an overall plan. And the ur ge to
self-knowledge that exists within the heart of each creature is that impulsion
to find in partiality that same sense of self-awareness and expressive joy
that it knew in its complete and whole state. T o develop the use of the sixthsense is to learn to use universal mind, to cease living in the separate
egoistic nature, and to turn over the whole life to a wider and more
encompassing awareness than is possible to the surface self.

Steps to Spiritual A wakening

The consistent use of the sixth sense depends upon spiritual awakening,
depends upon our recognizing the spiritual bond that unites us with all
others, with all things. Dethroning the ego, removing the focus of our
consciousness from the surface self, we thereby attain to a state of widened
awareness that emanates directly from our identification with the one mind
and one life that is the true inhabitant in all bodies. When we reach this
state of illumination, a new world opens up for our exploration. Physical
effects take on secondary significance. W e see that things originate on an
invisible plane, that all causes are mental and proceed out of ideas, out of
visualizations. W e begin to see that material things are not really solid facts
at all, but only partially revealed manifestations of conceptions held in
mind. Now we are able to perceive the secret of acting mentally, of altering
things by altering the idea that exists within them. W e begin to see that this
altering is possible through complete identification of ourselves with the
thing, that once this widened consciousness is achieved, we can change the
thing merely by changing our idea of it, because the same mind is in us as is
in the thing. Nothing is impossible to those of us whose consciousness
breaks out of the bonds of the ego. Once we shake of f surface self, there is
revealed to us a world that is bounded only by eternity and infinity. We can
become anything we desire, can accomplish anything we wish, for in a very
real sense all events and things have their existence in us. T o achieve this
state of spiritual awakening is the goal; to arrive at this state of joy and bliss
and complete ef fectuality is beyond doubt the most worthwhile and
rewarding culmination of life.
Steps by which spiritual enlightenment is achieved are the steps by which
the sixth sense is brought under dominion, and they are four. These stepsinfallibly produce spiritual enlightenment, and to those who put them into
practice are brought not only the sixth sense but an expanded consciousness
that allows them to live their lives joyfully and ef fectively. The four steps
are: (1) consecration, (2) surrender, (3) sacrifice, (4) love. Consecration
means the focusing of the total mental and spiritual ef forts of the individual
on discovery of the Secret Self. Surrender means a wholehearted giving
over of all action and goals to the Divine. Sacrifice means continual and
deliberate subjugation of ego to the will and purposes of the Secret Self.
Love means yearning for unity, longing to return to a state of wholeness and
oneness. These four sacramental steps, if performed unceasingly, are bound
to develop that wider consciousness in which the sixth sense becomes an
integral part of the life. The first step taken, all others will follow. With the
mind and being dedicated to a search for wider consciousness, the life
inevitably will be transformed, a sense of intimacy will come into the
consciousness, and the person will find resource by which they are able to
give over their goals and aspirations to the Divine.

We Are Made of Magic

Once this psychological divestment of the ego has taken place, illumination
is near. Now it becomes second nature to practice the sacrifice by which the
ego is kept in subjug


 papers, books, lectures
and public appearances. Yet that isn’ t the end of the story.
During the years when the profession was noting an increase in the
occurrence of tardive dyskines ia, none of my patients ever had it. The
literature was reporting an incidence of 50 percent of patients on major
tranquilizers developing this crippling disease, which frequently was
untreatable and irreversible.
Because of the size of my practi ce, I may well have treated more patients
with major tranquilizers than most other psychiatrists in the United States. I
treated a thousa nd inpatients with very high doses of these drugs; none of
them ever got tardive dyskinesia. Nor did any of the patients in the clinic
that I ran ever get it. In a total of maybe 15,000 to 20,000 patients, not a
single case of tardive dyskinesia ever arose.
I thought this was a rather amazing discovery and that the profession
would be very eager for this news. I did a study in which I published the
results of the prevention of tardive dyskinesia by the simple expedient of
adding vitamins to the treatment regimen. I published the paper in 1983,
presented it to a medical society in 1984 and 1985, and no one paid
attention. A support group of patients put together a fund and actually paid
for an ad in the Psychiatric Journal, and the drug company provide d free
reprints. Still, there was no interest.
I redoubled my efforts and incre ased the size of the study. I also included
studies of the practices of 80 colleagues who were using the same high
doses of vitamins and sugar -free diets. We came up with a total of 58,000patients and published a paper in 1986, called “The Prevention  of Tardive
Dyskinesia.”
After that I expanded the study for another three years. In 1989, I
published a paper on the successful prevention of tardive dyskinesia in
61,000 patients over a 20-year period, treated by 80 differen t doctors. I
thought, consid ering the heavy-duty climate of the problem of tardive
dyskinesia, it would certainly be of interest. It wasn’ t. In fact, the paper was
turned down by all the tradit ional journals. The American Journal of
Psychiatry  was not interested. Archives of Psychiatry  was not interested.
Why? Well, I used vitamins, didn’ t I? That seemed to be some kind of crime
in the scientific world.
The scientific world, because of its reverse causality, is totally
glamorized and enamored by the double-blind study with fancy statistics
supported by a huge research grant and coming from an assista nt professor
at some universi ty someplace. While I couldn’ t get this paper published, the
journals were full of articles on tests with equivocal results, which cost
enormous amou nts of money. These papers came out of research grants,
which were sizable.
In the meantim e, my study covered 20 years and 61,000 patients,
resulting in a series of three published papers that cost absolutely nothing.
Here I had an answer to a staggering problem afflicting one million
Americans who were suffering from tardive dyskinesia. The profession was
under harassment by malpractic e suits, and no one was even interested in
the study! I sent copies to everyo ne in the field that I thought would have an
interest, including all the pharmaceutical companies.
In terms of worldly success, we would say that this enterprise of mine
was a total failure. I never made a nickel. It didn’ t bring me fame or fortune.
It didn’ t even bring me any credit. I’m sure someday, somewhere, some
assistant profess or at some university will receive a huge research grant and
publish a paper on 18 patients for whom they show that some vitamin is
beneficial to curing or preventing tardive dyskinesia. That person will
become world famous and get the credit for having discovered the cure for
the disease. Now, does this bother me? The answer is no. That’ s because to
my own satisfaction, I made this discovery years ago. I carried it forward
and did all that I knew how to make my colleagues aware of it, to dischar ge
my mora l, professional, and ethical obligations to patients, to their families,
and to the world. My job was complete.So far, nothing at all has happened “out there.” There has been no
recognition, no credit, no money, no profit, no title, and no awards. As a
matter of fact, it cost me a coup le hundred dollars, and I was poorer rather
than richer. And how did I feel about it? I felt completely and totally
satisfied. Did I wish that the profession would pay attention?  Did I wish
that all the patients would benefit from this? Did I wish that all of this
crippling could stop? Of course I did. Do I still hope it will? Yes. And if it
happens, of course I will be pleased; however, my own inner feeling does
not depend on that at all.
The experience was already complete and total within myself. Anything
happening about  it “out there” would just be frosting on the cake. But it was
not the thing of which my cake was made. My cake was not going to fall.
None of my patients had this disease; I was never sued by a patient because
they got it. I rested in peace, and I rested comfortably. The basic lesson that
I’m sharing is that success does not come about by making compromises
for expediency. Success comes about by refusal to compromise integrity for
the sake of anything.
In true success there is no time delay. The reward is instantaneous, so that
the entire process is a rewarding one. Success is feeling good about what
we do. We know those feelings  of peace and contentment when we go to
bed having completed a project where we know we did our best. Nothing
has actually even happened “out there.” The boss hasn’ t gotten the report
yet. The family hasn’ t seen what we’ve done. The neighbors haven’ t found
out. Yet, like having a garden well planted, when we go to bed at night, we
know it’s just a matter of time before the flowers and vegetables emer ge.
The garden is automatic once it’s been suitably planted. Watchin g it grow is
merely in addition to the satisfaction; it is not its source.
As I said at the beginning of the chapter, there isn’t any compe tition for
those who are at the top of the pyramid. The best restaurants in town don’t
have to compete  for customers, who know they have to have a reservation
well in advance. The best mechanics in town don’t have to look for
business; they have to fight off work. Integrity is the automatic open door.In fact, it is a literal  open door. I discovered this during the years when I
had endless jobs in the world to pay for medical school and college.
After World War II there was massive unemployment due to the returning
veterans. Everyone went to the Fifty-T wo/T wenty Club and collected their
$20 a week of unemployment benefits for 52 weeks, because there were
ostensibly no jobs available. At the time when there were “no jobs
available,” I had three jobs simultaneously. One of them was canvassing
house-to-house for roofing and siding projects.
If you know anything about roofing and siding on a door-to-door
canvassing basis, you’ll know that this is the roughest, the toughest, the
most overworked and abused profession where bad reputation, deception,
and customer resistance exist. At the time I did it, house-to- house sales
were at their peak due to unemployment. Everyone and his brother were
ringing doorbells for every kind of scheme one can imagine. Customer
resistance was enormous, especially in a town like Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
which was conservative by nature.
Trying to make a sale this way was like pulling teeth. Guys tried it by the
droves and fell by the wayside after getting 50 doors slammed in their
faces. They just plain quit in discouragement. New sales crew s didn’ t last
much longer than a week. I would say that the turnover in the sales crews
was at least 95 percent. Canvassers walked their feet off covering block
after block and worked all morning, all afternoon, and all evening without
success.
There was a jungle set up for us: Dog-eat-dog competition, slick sales
pitches, high-pressured closers, overworked areas, huge customer
resistance, with the certainty of success being dependent on what is “out
there.” No success was even remotely possible in this endeavor. Yet what
happened for me was exactly the opposite. As a matter of fact, I made more
money than anybody else in the whole organization. I had cover ed my draw
and was, therefore, finished by noon when I went to my next job, which
was managing a theater. After that, I went to my third job. What was the
secret here?
I notice d that door-to-door salesmen all looked the same. They had a
jacket, a white shirt, and a tie, and very often a briefcase. They  would ring
the doorbell, and the homeowner


:	‘Get	that	word	HEALTH	off	your	doors,

windows,	letterheads—and	do	it	quick.’

"To	which	remark	I	replied:	My	business	has	long	been	known	as	a	HEALTH

EMPORIUM.	I	built	my	reputation	on	that	designation	and	have	spent	many

thousands	of	dollars	to	bring	it	to	the	attention	of	the	public.	I	can	hardly	remove

the	word	HEALTH	without	ruining	my	business.’

"‘His	reply	was	short	and	to	the	point:	‘The	word	HEALTH	belongs	exclusively

to	the	medical	doctors.	It	is	illegal	for	anyone	else	to	use	it	in	any	manner.	There

is	a	law	now	in	effect	which	gives	the	medical	profession	a	monopoly	on	the

word	HEALTH	and	you’d	better	get	that	in	your	head	clearly	right	now!’"

This	doctor	consulted	his	attorney	and	found	that	such	a	law	had	been

engineered	through	the	state	legislature	by	same	underhanded	methods	they	(the

medical	trust)	had	pushed	other	death-dealing	measures	into	operation,	such	as,

1)	vaccination,	which	is	known	to	kill	more	people	every	year	than	smallpox

does,

2)	tuberculin	testing	of	cows	which	required	the	killing	of	1,500,000	healthy

cows	because	of	false	testing	in	just	10	years	time,	with	a	lost	of	$1,500,000,000

to	the	dairymen,

3)	rabies	shots	for	dogs,	which	increase	diseases	in	the	animals	but	do	not

prevent	rabies,

4)	fluorine	(rat	poison)	in	public	water	supplies	because	there	is	a	cheap	surplus

of	the	product	on	hand	and	the	owners	want	to	make	profit	on	it,	also	other

practices	that	are	damaging	to	the	public	but	profitable	to	the	promoters.

MORE	FREEDOM	DENIED

Back	in	the	middle	ages,	Galileo	was	tormented,	tortured,	and	threatened	with

death	because	he	taught	that	the	world	was	round.	We	like	to	relegate	to	the	past

such	acts	of	ignorance	and	barbarism,	and	believe	that	such	outrages	against

progress	could	not	happen	in	our	day	and	age.	But	we	are	having	parallels	of	this

same	kind	of	intolerance	in	the	healing	field.	For	instance,	Dr.	Herbert	M.

Shelton,	Ph.D.,	D.C.,	N.D.,	and	head	of	the	Hygienic	Movement,	was

imprisoned	several	times	in	New	York	because	he	helped	people	overcome	their

diseases	by	observing	the	laws	of	health.	Saving	lives	and	restoring	health	is

considered	a	crime	in	New	York	and	several	other	states	that	are	ruled	by	the

medical	trust,	if	these	works	are	done	by	any	outside	the	medical	ring.	The

medical	field	has	no	sure	cure	for	any	disease,	so	the	people	are	obliged	to	suffer

and	die	rather	than	permit	someone	who	does	understand	the	law	of	cure	to	aid

them.

Dr.	Shelton	is	one	of	the	few	practitioners	who	understands	the	cause	and	cure	of

disease,	and	seeing	that	New	York	is	a	city	of	sick	people	in	need	of	help	that

they	were	not	getting,	he	defied	the	un-American	medically	made	law	of	New

York	which	prohibits	drugless	doctors	from	practicing,	opened	up	an	office	and

was	soon	gaining	fame	by	his	superior	results	in	healing.	For	this	he	was

imprisoned	without	even	a	trial	by	jury.

In	accordance	with	the	formalities	of	pretended	justice,	an	investigator	of	the

Court	of	Special	Sessions	in	New	York,	wrote	to	the	Investigator	of	the	State

Medical	Board	in	Texas	for	information	about	Dr.	Shelton.	The	investigator

interviewed	Dr.	Shelton	and	after	seeing	the	nature	and	quality	of	his	work	with

its	consistent	effectiveness,	had	said	to	him,	"I	see	nothing	in	your	work	that	is	a

violation	of	the	law.	Stick	to	it	and	I	will	never	bother	you."	He	sent	a	fine	report

to	the	New	York	investigator	which	was	never	read	before	the	court.	The	judge

declared	him	guilty	on	the	opinion	of	the	medical	witness	and	he	was	sentenced

to	prison.	When	he	was	released,	he	continued	to	help	the	sick	and	needy	and

was	imprisoned	again	and	again	because	he	refused	to	respect	a	law	that	was

enforced	against	public	good	and	established	without	the	approval	or	vote	of	the
	people.	This	did	not	happen	in	the	Dark	Ages;	it	happened	in	our	day,	just	a	few

years	ago.

A	little	later,	in	1948,	Dr.	Gian-Cursio,	Chiropractor	and	Hygienist,	was

sentenced	to	prison	when	his	drugless	healing	system	and	sanitarium,	THE

CASTLE	OF	HEALTH,	was	becoming	noted	for	its	successful	healing	of

diseases	that	the	doctors	had	not	been	able	to	cure.	He	was	framed	and	sentenced

to	a	year	in	prison	without	being	allowed	a	trial	by	jury.	(Even	a	murderer	is

permitted	a	jury	trial).	He	was	even	denied	an	appeal.	The	charges	were	that	he

was	harming	people	although	no	evidence	was	brought	forth	to	prove	this

statement.	A	great	many	of	his	healed	patients	were	anxious	to	testify	but	they

were	not	permitted	to	do	so.

As	he	was	a	drugless	doctor	he	did	not	use	drugs	or	any	of	the	dangerous

methods	such	as	X-ray,	radium,	surgery,	or	anything	else	that	could	harm	a

patient.	His	testimony	was	disregarded	and	only	that	of	the	medical	"expert

witness"	was	considered	valid.	So	this	innocent	man	of	high	ideals	and	clean

living	had	to	serve	a	prison	term	with	hardened	criminals	while	his	family	was

left	without	support.	So	openly	unjust	was	this	case	that	letters	and	telegrams

from	all	parts	of	United	States	and	even	from	England,	France	and	Canada

poured	into	the	offices	of	the	judge	and	Governor	Dewey	of	New	York,	asking

that	this	man	he	given	a	fair	trial	by	jury,	or	an	appeal	to	a	higher	court,	but	this

was	denied.

From	his	prison	cell	Dr.	Gian-Cursio	wrote	too	Dr.	Shelton:

"It	is	a	strange	schooling	that	our	enemies	have	forced	upon	us.	It	profits	us	in

ways	nor	expected	by	them.	Prior	to,	during	and	after	incarceration	friendships

are	strengthened,	men	who	are	brothers	in	arms	become	more	determined	in	the

promulgation	of	their	cause	and	they	acquire	a	form	of	wisdom	obtained	by

few.”

In	this	crucible	a	reformer	attains	maturity	of	mind	and	spirit.

"Our	enemies,	by	making	this	possible,	befriend	us.	This	is	a	paradox	that	must

be	lived	to	be	fully	appreciated.	Persecution	is	a	sign	of	decadence.	When	it	ends

with	imprisonment	of	the	persecuted	it	is	more	than	a	symptom	of	rot	of	man

and	principles,	it	is	a	sign	of	death	as	moral	beings


pathways work, I need to make it very clear that I do not believe that
simply thinking positive thoughts always leads to physical cures. Y ou
need more than just “positive thinking” to harness control of your body
and your life. It is  important for our health and well-being to shift our
mind’ s ener gy toward positive, life-generating thoughts and eliminate
ever -present, ener gy-draining, and debilitating negative thoughts. But,
and I mean that in the biggest sense of “BUT,” the mere thinking ofpositive thoughts will not necessarily have any impact on our lives at all!
In fact, sometimes people who “flunk” positive thinking become mor e
debilitated because now they think their situation is hopeless—they
believe they have exhausted all mind and body remedies.
What those positive-thinking dropouts haven’ t understood is that the
seemingly “separate” subdivisions of the mind, the conscious  and the
subconscious  are interdependent. The conscious mind is the creative one,
the one that can conjure up “positive thoughts.” In contrast, the
subconscious mind is a repository of stimulus-response tapes derived
from instincts and learned experiences. The subconscious mind is strictly
habitual; it will play the same behavioral responses to life’ s signals over
and over again, much to our chagrin. How many times have you found
yourself going ballistic over something trivial like an open toothpaste
tube? Y ou have been trained since childhood to carefully replace the cap.
When you find the tube with its cap left of f, your “buttons are pushed”
and you automatically fly into a rage. Y ou’ve just experienced the simple
stimulus-response of a behavior program stored in the subconscious
mind.
When it comes to sheer neurological processing abilities, the
subconscious mind is millions of times more powerful than the conscious
mind. If the desires of the conscious mind conflict with the programs in
the subconscious mind, which “mind” do you think will win out? Y ou
can repeat the positive af firmation that you are lovable over and over or
that your cancer tumor will shrink. But if, as a child, you heard over and
over that you are worthless and sickly, those messages programmed in
your subconscious mind will undermine your best conscious ef forts to
change your life. Remember how quickly your last New Y ear ’ s
resolution to eat less food fell by the wayside as the aroma of the baking
turkey dissolved your resolve? W e’ll learn more about the origins of self-
sabotaging subconscious programming in Chapter 7, “Conscious
Parenting,” and how to quickly rewrite them. But for the moment, be
aware that there is hope even for those of you who used positive thinking
and failed miserably.
M i n d  O v e r  B o d y
Let’ s review what we know about cells. W e learned in earlier chapters
that the functions of cells are directly derived from the movements oftheir protein “gears.” The movement generated by assemblies of proteins
provides the physiologic functions that enable life. While proteins are the
physical building blocks, complementary environmental signals are
required to animate their movement. The interface between
environmental signals and behavior -producing cytoplasmic proteins is
the cell’ s membrane. The membrane receives stimuli and then engages
the appropriate, life-sustaining cellular responses. The cell membrane
operates as the cell’ s “brain.” Integral membrane receptor -ef fector
proteins (IMPs) are the fundamental physical subunits of the cellular
brain’ s “intelligence” mechanism. By functional definition, these protein
complexes are “perception switches” that link reception of
environmental stimuli to response-generating protein pathways.
Cells generally respond to an assortment of very basic “perceptions”
of what’ s going on in their world. Such perceptions include whether
things like potassium, calcium, oxygen, glucose, histamine, estrogen,
toxins, light, or any number of other stimuli are present in their
immediate environment. The simultaneous interactions of tens of
thousands of reflexive perception switches in the membrane, each
directly reading an individual environmental signal, collectively create
the complex behavior of a living cell.
For the first three billion years of life on this planet, the biosphere
consisted of free-living single cells such as bacteria, algae, and
protozoans. While we have traditionally considered such life forms as
solitary individuals, we are now aware that signal molecules used by
individual cells to regulate their own physiologic functions, when
released into the environment, also influence the behavior of other
or ganisms. Signals released into the environment allow for a
coordination of behavior among a dispersed population of unicellular
or ganisms. Secreting signal molecules into the environment enhanced
the survival of single cells by providing them with the opportunity to live
as a primitive “community.”
The single-celled slime mold amoebas provide an example of how
signaling molecules lead to community. These amoebas live a solitary
existence in the soil foraging for food. When available food in the
environment is consumed, the cells synthesize an excess amount of a
metabolic by-product called cyclic AMP (cAMP), much of which is
released into the environment. The concentration of the released cAMPbuilds in the environment as other amoebas face starvation. When
secreted cAMP signal molecules bind to cAMP-receptors on the cell
membranes of other slime mold amoebas, it signals them to activate a
swarming behavior wherein the amoebas congregate and form a lar ge
multicellular “slug.” The slug community is the reproductive stage of
slime mold. During the “famine” period, the community of aging cells
shares their DNA and creates the next generation of of fspring. The new
amoebas hibernate as inactive spores. When more food is available, the
food molecules act as a signal to break the hibernation, releasing a new
population of single cells to start the cycle over again.
The point is that single-celled or ganisms actually live in a community
when they share their “awareness” and coordinate their behaviors by
releasing “signal” molecules into the environment. Cyclic AMP was one
of evolution’ s earliest forms of secreted regulatory signals that controls
cell behavior. The fundamental human signal molecules (e.g., hormones,
neuropeptides, cytokines, growth factors) that regulate our own cellular
communities were once thought to have arisen with the appearance of
complex multicellular life forms. However, recent research has revealed
that primitive single-celled or ganisms were already using these “human”
signal molecules in the earliest stages of evolution.
Through evolution, cells maximized the number of IMP “awareness”
proteins their membranes could hold. T o acquire more awareness, and
therefore increase their probability of surviving, cells started to
assemble, first into simple colonies and later into highly or ganized
cellular communities. As described earlier, the physiologic functions of
multicellular or ganisms are parceled out to specialized communities of
cells forming the body’ s tissues and or gans. In communal or ganizations,
the cell membrane’ s intelligence processing is carried out by the
specialized cells of the or ganism’ s nervous and immune systems.
It was only 700 million years ago, recent in regard to the time frame of
life on this planet, when single cells found it advantageous to join
together in tightly knit multicellular communities, or ganizations we
recognize as animals and plants. The same coordinating signal molecules
used by free-living cells were used in these newly evolved closed
communities. By tightly regulating the release and distribution of these
function-controlling signal molecules, the community of cells would be
able to coordinate their functions and act as a single life form. In themore primitive multicellular or ganisms, those without specialized
nervous systems, the flow of these signal molecules within the
community provided an elementary “mind,” represented by the
coordinating information shared by every cell. In such or ganisms, each
cell directly read environmental cues and personally adjusted its own
behavior.
However, when cells came together in community, a new politic had to
be established. In community, each cell cannot act as an independent
agent that does whatever it wants. The term “community” implies that all
of its members commit to a common plan of action. In multicellular
animals, individual cells may “see” the local environment outside of
their own “skin,” but they may have no awareness of what is going on in
more distant environments, especially those outside of the whole
or ganism itself. Can a liver cell buried in your viscera, responding to its
local environmental signals, make an informed response regarding the
consequence of a mugger that jumps into your environment? The
complex behavior controls needed to ensure a multicellular
or ganization’ s survival are incorporated within its centralized
information processing system.
As more complex animals evolved, specialized cells took over the job
of monitoring and or ganizing the flow of the behavior regulating signal
molecules. These cells provided a distributed nerve network and central
information processor, a brain. The brain’ s function is to coordinate the
dialogue of signal molecules within the community. Consequently, in a
community of cells, each cell must acquiesce control to the informed
decisions of its awareness authority, the brain.  The brain contr ols  the
behavior of the body’ s cells. This is a very important point to consider as
we blame the cells of our or gans and


 the conscious and unconscious material being processed.
These phases are not necessarily in a particular order as the
practitioner intuitively deals with whatever emerges in the
sessions and may “scramble” the phases as deemed necessary.74The student interested in becoming a Dimensional
Breathwork PractitionerTM must take the twenty-hour course
and show competency in the six phases shown above.
An apprenticeship program is also set up for the student
who is willing to gain more practical “hands-on experience”
in the application of the DBPMTM. This apprenticeship involves
group Dimensional Breathworks where the apprentice utilizes
these phases at the sole request of the “Breather” and under
the supervisions of a Dimensional Awareness Facilitator.

and	DBPM.
From	anxiety,	 fibromyalgia	 and	depression	 to	inner
peace and physical well-being
(Joe’s testimonial)
I have always been interested in non-ordinary states of
consciousness and had tried different types of therapies for my
depression, fibromyalgia and general state of anxiety without
any permanent results, so I decided to try DB.
Around twenty minutes or so into the faster breathing, I
revisited a scene in my childhood at around four years old
of age when my father and mother were violently arguing
and shoving each other in the living room. I felt tremendous 75
fear, helplessness and hopelessness as my chest and throat
contracted with pain. As I slowly came out of the scene, I
requested, as recommended in the pre-talk, to ask my “sitter”
to call upon a facilitator for some help with my physical
pains. We started the bodywork and it triggered yet another
hellish episode filled with mixed emotions of rage and anxiety
accompanied by choking, pressures and pains in various parts
of my body. All of a sudden, the entire world seemed to be
closing in on me as I felt threatened and began to panic. I
felt the agony of dying as my entire body felt compressed for
what seemed to be an eternity. I gradually became aware that
everything happening to me had to do with the reliving of the
memory of my biological birth, of the agonizing experience
of the confinement in the birth canal and started to sense what
seemed to be impossible at the onset - a sense of hope. A sense
of hope that I might find some meaning to this, that I might
transcend this hellish agony.
And that’s when it happened, all of sudden, I felt
overwhelming joy, a new beginning, as if I was tuned into the
flow of life, into a new way of existing.
I felt I could breathe easily for the first time in my life and
I felt at peace.
Later, I was able to integrate my experience and fully
understand the lessons. I understood that my lack of fulfillment 76in life resulted mostly from the fact that I had not come to
terms with the unconscious trauma of birth and with the
fear of death. I understood now on a deeper level, not just
intellectually like I did after the module I attended during the
retreat, that most of us have been born anatomically and have
not really integrated this process psychologically.
After four DBs, I can safely say that I have completed and
integrated the trauma of birth and that I have a renewed sense
of self, an enhanced ability to enjoy the present moment and
a heightened sense of psychological, emotional and physical
well-being!
Thank you, respectfully Joe.
From aggressively achieving to be happy to happily
achieving!
 (Marco’s Testimonial)
I began breathing rapidly and deeply as the music
entrained me into another dimension. I suddenly became an
American Indian warrior fiercely riding a wild horse into
battle. I felt the rush of adrenaline in my veins as I was yelling
in ecstasy searching for someone to kill while fearlessly and
madly expecting to be killed. To my surprise nothing of the
sort happened as I saw myself returning to my village where
in front of my tepee, I found my three daughters and wife
in a pool of blood with their throats cut. The whole village 77
burned to the ground, had been ambushed and my people
slaughtered without mercy. Even the dogs had been pierced
through, from side to side, several times, with black arrows.
An overwhelming sorrow overcame me as I fell to my knees
crying and moaning.
I soon realized how much sadness I had bottled up over
the years and that I had not cried since I was an infant. After
around two hours of crying and sobbing, a deep soothing
sense of relief enveloped my being as the muscle tensions
evaporated from my body. Lying there on the mat somewhat
dazed from the intense experience, I began to receive profound
life changing insights.
I realized, as violent images and different scenes from the
French revolution, world war II, and from the recent middle
east crises, that humanity’s evolution was still in the basic
perinatal matrix number three, (BMP III) and that the violent
and aggressive struggles would continue to escalate and that the
ego based consciousness would eventually intensify before the
rebirth of the BPM IV - a new heart based consciousness. I
realized as my slain wife and three daughters appeared, as
real as could be, in front of me smiling in delight, that the
saying: “We are spiritual beings living human experiences” is
absolutely true. I had no more doubts, I was certain that there
was a much bigger cosmic plan at stake and that my free-will
would grow to be part of it as I grew in consciousness.78It felt like a knowing, an experiential knowing, different
than a hallucination and more like a spiritual vision.
Later, as I pondered these insights, I sensed the futility of
aggressively pursuing my life goals, of my ambitions to be
happy by achieving and felt and decided, “to do by being”
instead.
Like the fetus stuck in the birth canal, I had continuously
felt a strong drive to get to a more satisfying situation that lied
somewhere in the future instead of going with the flow and
sensing how best to fit into the process of life.
I AM now much more Present and happily achieve instead
of achieving to be happy.
It is the realization that spirituality is an integral part of the
psyche and that our deepest needs as human beings are more
spiritual in nature than materialistic which has changed my
outlook on life and has brought me inner peace.

Reaching the perinatal and transpersonal domains
in expanded states of awareness, through Dimensional
BreathworkTM (DB) has far more reaching implications
which are not only beneficial for the evolution of humanity’s
consciousness, but more importantly crucial and essential for
our survival as a species at this point in time in our history
because of the environmental and political global threats. 79
DB directly addresses the so called three poisons of the
Tibetan Buddhists which are causing human suffering and
threatening the very fabric of our societies:
Ignorance  represented by the pig, anger and
aggressiveness  represented by the snake and greed	/	lust	and
excessive desires  represented by the rooster which cause
attachments and addictions.
Deep experiential work such as DB gives us access to
knowledge and insights about ourselves, nature and the cosmos
allowing us to eliminate these poisons by understanding our
true nature and the nature of reality at a core level.
Once we have relived the traumas of birth and connected
to our true divine nature which is the deepest motivating force
and craving in our psyche, we can start to eliminate ignorance,
aggressiveness and excessive desires.
Reliving the basic perinatal matrices and the rich array
of experiences from the transpersonal domain is only the
beginning as the real challenge is to fully integrate them in
this earthly duality.
The Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner MethodTM
(DBPM), as mentioned earlier, is a one-on-one process and
can be conducted after a group DB for a more thorough 80integration but is usually utilized as an independent therapy
in and of itself. Here are two cases as revealed in the DBPM.
Carole’s psychogenic asthma:
Carole, a forty-three year old mother of two young boys
started to manifest some asthma symptoms fifteen minutes
into the breathing and regressed back to her childhood at five
years of age where her older brother was playfully smothering
her with a large pillow placed on her face. Not knowing the
seriousness of the matter, her brother repeatedly smothered her
as she almost suffocated and passed out in terror.
Continuing the regression, her inner healing’s intelligence
brought her to a scene where she was stuck behind the pubic
bone of her mother as she was being born and had almost
died by suffocation. Going further back into the transpersonal,
we discovered the initial sensitizing event where Carole
apparently in another time and place was an Irish immigrant
man being hung for sleeping with the wife of a locally
influential man. This event was taking place in a small town
in America in the year 1861 and as he was dropped from the
gallows, he twisted and swung in agony while hanging and
slowly choked to death instead of immediately dying from
the neck snapping under the weight of the sand bag attached
to his feet. Apparently, the
