 be retained for the desired period.

E. Place 1  quart of coffee in your enema bag or bucket. You may use a Fleet enema
bag, which is a disposable large volume plastic bag, an over-the-counter item
from the local pharmacy or hospital supply outlet. This enema bag lasts about 2
years.
F. The enema tip on the end of the hose is not adequate to give a "high enema."
Place a colon tube (Davol) size 24 French or 26 French or 28 French on the
opposite end of the plastic tube from the enema bag. This colon tube is a soft
flexible rubber-like tube around 30 inches in length. It follows the curves and
flexure of the colon. The colon tube is usually inserted about 12 to 20 inches
into the rectum. (Editor's Note: It is difficult today to find a colon tube. However,
a plastic rectal catheter or tube about 18 inches long may be ordered from your
pharmacy as an over-the-counter item.)
G. Next, allow the coffee to flow to the end of the colon tube, thus eliminating any
air in the tube.
H. The colon tube should be lubricated with natural creamery butter, Vitamin E
cream or other lubricant that doesn't contain additives or chemicals.
I. Insert the tube 12 to 20 inches into the rectum, if possible. This should be done
slowly, in a rotating motion that helps to keep the tube from "kinking up" inside
the colon.
J. The enema bag should not be over 36 inches higher than the rectum. If it is
placed too high, the coffee runs into the colon too fast and under too much
pressure, causing discomfort.
K. There are several positions that can be used while inserting the colon tube.
Squatting is one. There is also the knee-chest method, with chest and knees on
the floor and buttocks in the highest position possible. Most people, however,
find it easiest to lie on the left side until the solution is out of the bag or bucket.
The enema should never be taken while sitting on the toilet or standing.
L. Some people's colons have kinks or turns in them that may prevent the tube
from being inserted even 18 inches. Often, if a little bit of the solution is allowed
to flow into the colon as the tube is being inserted, one may comfortably get past
these kinks.
M. If a kink bends the tube too much and stops the flow of liquid, then the tube can
be inserted only as far as it w ill go, still allowing the liquid to flow freely.
N. Sometimes, if one hits a kink that stops the flow of the liquid completely, the
95
Winning The Cancer War
tube can be pulled out slowly just to the point where the solution is felt flowing
again. Frequently, the tube can be pushed back in, past the turn that previously
stopped the liquid.
0. Because of the shapes and formations of some people's colons or of course if a
child is being given the enema, it will be possible to insert the tube only a few
inches. Occasionally, this is a permanent situation. Often, however, as the colon
is cleaned and healed, the tube can eventually be inserted further.
P. The tube should never  be forced when discomfort occurs.
Q. After the flow of the solution is completed, one may remove the colon tube,
although it isn't necessary to do so. Regardless of the position used up to this
point, one should now lie on the left side for at least 5 minutes, then on the back
for another 5 minutes, then on the right side for at least 5 minutes.
R. Those who have excessive gas may leave the tube in the colon with the hose
clamp open. This allows gas to escape through the enema container. Frequently,
the coffee will go in and out of the enema bag or bucket until the gas is relieved.
S. After the enema is retained for 15 minutes or longer, it may be expelled.
T. One is now ready for the rest of his daily routine clean and refreshed!
Helpful Hints
1. If you find you have a lot of gas and it is difficult to retain the enema, try putting
2 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses into your coffee solution.
2. If you get a sudden gas bubble causing an urge to expel the solution, breathe
very fast through your nose using your abdominal muscles like a bellows. This
usually helps the colon wall break up the gas bubble.
3. If you find that a little coffee leaks out, place an old towel under your buttocks.
Intestinal Obstruction
Occasionally, the intestinal tract w ill become obstructed. Usually under these
circumstances, no food or feces will come through. After a few days, one becomes
extremely nauseated and starts vomiting. He or she w ill be very sick and will
normally run a high temperature. This should be watched quite carefully, for in such
cases immediate emergency treatment is absolutely necessary.
96
Winning The Cancer War
One should never allow themselves to become extremely toxic. But, in order to
distinguish between a healing toxic reaction and an intestinal obstruction, as soon as
nausea or vomiting develops and no food is passing through, all supplements and
food should be stopped for 5 days. Water and juice may be taken during this time.
If there is no vomiting, food is passing through, and the temperature remains below
100 degrees, the diet and normal routine may be resumed, as one may assume there
is no obstruction.
A point to remember is that one shouldn't fail to cycle off the supplements
routinely before reaching such a state of toxicity!
If, during the 5 days off the supplements with no solid food intake, one begins to
vomit and has abdominal pain with high temperature, the physician should be
consulted so that he or she can check for intestinal obstruction.
Cleansing The Kidneys
The kidneys are vital organs of detoxification. They filter approximately 4,000
quarts of blood daily. The metabolic wastes, largely urea, are eliminated and the
acid/alkaline balance maintained. Many drugs are eliminated through the kidneys,
especially the common pain-killing drugs that can be extremely damaging to these
organs. Such drugs include aspirin, phenacetin and acetominophen. People often
don't experience any symptoms from loss of kidney function until 90% of the
function is gone, and then the damage is irreversible.
The kidneys should be flushed each day with liberal quantities of fluid, either RO
filtered water, distilled water or fresh fruit and vegetable juices (preferably organic).
Parsley tea is excellent for strengthening the kidneys. Those with kidney problems
should avoid ordinary commercial teas and coffee as a beverage. Herbal teas are
acceptable.
For those who tend to retain fluid, watermelon is an excellent diuretic. If the melon
is organically grown, the rind should be juiced and sipped first thing in the morning
and then the red fleshy part of the fruit may be eaten. Two mornings a week, one may
take the juice of a whole lemon in warm RO filtered water or distilled water as a
diuretic (citrus should not be used more than 2 days a week, as it tends to upset the
calcium-phosphorus metabolism if used more frequently). Shavegrass or horsetail tea
is a good diuretic and also good for the skin and hair. An excellent diuretic salad may
be made by combining cabbage and onions — finely sliced — with crushed raw
garlic, parsley, and herbs like sage, cumin, and juniper berries, if available. Cover this
mixture with very hot RO filtered water or distilled water and place a lid over it for 10
minutes. Drain the mixture (the liquid is good to save for soup bases, grains, etc.) and
97
Winning The Cancer War
squeeze a lemon over it. It can be eaten as is or refrigerated first. It can also be mixed
with other salads.
In extreme fluid retention, one's physician may prescribe a diuretic drug, which is
permissible, and the doctor w ill normally increase the intake of potassium to
compensate for its loss due to the drug.
In kidney disease the protein intake should be limited and extra vitamins and
minerals taken.
Cleansing The Lungs
Life is dependent upon the adequate exchanges of gases in the lungs. The most
significant are the removal of carbonic acid and the flow of oxygen into the blood.
The lungs give off many other gaseous wastes. Sometimes before, but more frequently
after the start of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program the patient or those close
to him or her may notice a foul odor on the breath. No amount of toothpaste or
mouthwash will remove it for long, since it comes from the bloodstream. One can be
assured, however, that this is only a phase and that the poisons are leaving the body.
If there is excessive accumulation of mucus in the nostrils and/or bronchial system,
this inhibits the detoxification functions of the lungs. Mucus-forming food should be
avoided if mucus is a problem. These are principally dairy products, with the
exception of butter and cream, and baked flour products. Anti-mucus foods such as
raw onions and garlic, cayenne pepper, freshly ground black pepper, fresh ginger,
and horseradish should be eaten liberally


could be something one feels guilty about or is sinful
to have. God will destroy us ifwe have money, and we
can hate ourself for having it.The whole process is a
destructive one because it is in a negative energy field
with a very low calibration relating to Truth.
Money could be viewed from a higher energy
field, such as Fear, in which having money would then
be a frightening thing, with accompanying worry,
.anxiety, and panic. Itwould be viewed as 'unspiritual',
with resulting punishment from God; or it might be
the source of hatred, resentment, and grievance, with
the money then being used by the spiritual group in
a competitive, retaliatory way towards others, leading
to anger and religious war.
Money might be held from the level of Pride, in
which it is a status symbol that God has given us.The
more God loves us, the more money he gives us; this
thought comes from an inflated process.
When people move up to a higher energy field,
they now become unattached to the money.They are
released, and the money does not 'run' them any
more. It is now okay to have money because the God
of that energy field is a God of freedom. God is not
concerned about whether one has money.
Aswe move up the scale intoAcceptance, we might
be willing to view this differently. As we move on up
into the energy fields of Love and Gratitude at level SPIRITUAL FIRST AID 159
540, money might be viewed as a gift from God for
which we are grateful. The money would then be a
tool, a way of expressing compassion and uncondi
tional lovingness towards the suffering of the world
because the energy field of Love nurtures and sup
ports love, life, and all its teflections. It is the begin
ning of a revelation because there is the release of
endorphins in the brainthat leads to seeing money as
a loving thing and a way to support others.The inten
tion behind it and the way it is held in mind at this
level would have one viewing the money as a bless
ing, a responsibility, a stewardship, and a way of help
ing and supporting others.The money would then be
used for the benefit of mankind and not as an egotisti
cal gesture that would get one's name on a brass plate
from the receiving organization. The money would be
used as a gift while acknowledging the source as the
love of God and seeing it as a positive expression.
Everything in Creation belongs to God, including
money, of which we have only temporary custody.
As one moves towards the top of the field into
Oneness and perfection, one sees that all things are
aspects of God, and God isAll that Is. One begins to see
Divinity within all things, and that this applies to every
thing in life. Now, instead of seeing money as sinful, it
is seen as a tool God has given us so that lovingness can
be expressed in a greater field and can help large seg
ments of mankind. Money can then be held in joy from
which one can feel an inner gladness that one has been
given the power, with money being an expression of
God's power on earth, to bring about the healing ofthe
inner pain and suffering of mankind. 160 HEALING AND RECOVERY
The expression and nurturing of love is the desire
coming out of compassion for the relief of suffering.
Money then becomes a tool to enable one to help
relieve the suffering of the world. Assets are heJd as
gifts from God, and the gifts are then used to bring
about the increasing knowledge of man and the relief
of suffering that occurs through the progressive
increase of man's knowledge ofTruth.
After the problem relating to money, the next one
is always sex, is it not? We will look at sex and see
how the conflicts arising around it depend on the
energy field. Sex, an event in human life and part of
humanness, could be viewed from the bottom of the
scale (lust, addiction, craving). The teaching coming
out of this energy field would perceive it as negative
and associated with sin and suffering for which the
God of that level is the great destroyer, with the
process being one of destruction, self-hatred, self
pity, and self-blame.
The next view would be that man's sexuality is a
hopeless condition-one of despair, loss of energy,
and the lack of the capacity to experience aliveness.
It might be viewed as sad and regretful that man is an
animal.At the bottom of the scale, man is viewed as a
body. As we cross the line at Truth (200), man is
viewed less and less as a body, and progressively there
is the realization that he is spirit. However, that which
views man as a body then condemns it and is sad that
man is such an animal. Those who are dominated by
fear would view sexuality with worry, anxiety, and
panic.They would treat the whole subject as frighten
ing and think it best to deny and just ignore it alto161 SPIRITUAL FIRST AID
gether because the God of that level is punitive and
would punish one for any.sexuality.
Looking at the scale, one can see the various ways,
including anger, with which people can hold sex.
There are people who hate themselves for their own
sexuality as well as those who exploit seduction.
There are the perversions of religion, the satanic soci
eties, and others in which sexuality and seduction are
now reversed, and their expressions inflate its impor
tance out of proportion.
How would sexuality be held at the level of truth?
At this level, one begins to face and handle what sexu
ality is from a spiritual Viewpoint. One begins to
become empowered, to take the opportunity, because
the God at this level is one of an open mind and free
dom, the freedom that it is okay to explore this because
at this level, one is not attached to any position about
sex.At this level, one comes from humility. This means
that one says, "I really don't know the answer to this
subject; however, I am willing to begin to look at it."
Because the willingness is a positive energy field, it says
that this is a friendly, promising, and hopeful subject
that one can investigate. When. one's intention has
been added to clear up the subject, there is a certain
confidence that there is the capacity in a harmonious
world with a merciful God to now explore it without
being thrown into hellfire.
When sex is viewed from an energy field of500 and
over, it is now from a place oflovingness and gratitude.
It is seen as an expression of nurturance, support, and
healing, and that making love is a healing, forgiving act.
People who have argued and fought before now melt 162 HEALING AND RECOVERY
in the embrace, forgiving, nurturing, and healing each
other.They reafftrm each other's worth and value. Now
sexuality becomes a gift and an expression of love. It
eventually becomes an expression of unconditional
love, joy, and the celebration of one's own aliveness
and existence. There is a gratitude to God for the joy
of existence, the beginning of transfiguration and
revelation, and then the' moving on to Bliss. Those
who move on to higher states of consciousness see it
as an expression of oneness and a way of being. It is
a way of being and a way of joining the masculine
and feminine energies in the world.
Sexuality, money, or anything else is held primarily
as a point of view. In none of these instances can we
say what a thing is, in and of itself. It cannot be taken
out of the fteld of understanding that is concordant
with its level of consciousness. When a person or a
teaching expresses attitudes, beliefs, or opinions, it
will be found they are merely opinions. The essence
itself is not being talked about; it is just how the per
son views it (perception). How they hold it in mind is
an expression of their level of consciousness, their
degree of awareness of truth.The lower their view, the
more negative they will look at any human behavior.
All things can be viewed from a'make wrong'
position because the bottom of the scale is an endless
'make wrong', an invalidation of life in all its expres
sions. All man's intentions, impulses, biology, psy
chology, even his spiritual ambitions and the desire to
be a spiritual seeker, can be invalidated because there
is sure to be a skeptic who will deride it.
We can move out of this by seeing clearly that there 163 SPIRITUAL FIRST AID
is the event in the world, there is life itself, human
nature is what it is, and there is a way of being with
that and viewing it, which is expressing a level of con
sciousness. We are still not saying anything about that
'out there'; instead, we are talking about one's level of
consciousness. Nothing is really being said about the
world itself (e.g., perception rather than essence).
All the enlightened beings at the


 are fortified with synthetic versions of the
substance), so we need the Vitamin D, which is produced in our skin exposed to sunlight.
The trouble is that the ultra-violet (UV) rays contained in sunlight can cause severe damage
to cells. This partly explains why the widespread fashion for deep tanning has been accompanied
by the doubling of skin cancer cases in the last few decades. Even those who don’t lie for hours
practically naked on a sunny beach but have an outdoor job may develop skin cancer, since 30-
50% of UV rays reach us even on a cloudy day.
All this means that Gerson patients must take great care to avoid sunburn, which causes
immediate harm in the form of blisters, reddening and discomfort, but can also produce long-term
damage, with dry, wrinkled skin as its mildest, and melanoma as its worst effect. The first rule
is to keep out of sunshine between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the summer and in hot climates all the
year round. It is still possible to enjoy brightness from a shady spot, but not close to water, which
reflects back sunshine powerfully.
Even at other times of day it is important to be well covered when outdoors. Light, white,
long-sleeved cotton shirts, full length pants and wide-brimmed hats or white caps with visors give
necessary protection.
Healthy children need to be able to play outdoors and swim in summer, but they are even more
sensitive to sunburn than adults. Unfortunately 90% of commercial sunscreens and sunblocks
contain a chemical called Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), which is toxic and doubles its toxicity
when exposed to sunlight. As the skin absorbs 60% of everything applied to it, obviously such
preparations cannot be used by children. However, effective non-toxic sunscreens containing
natural ingredients, such as Green Tea, are available and can be tracked down with a little effort.
Complementary Therapies
These days there is a bewildering array of complementary treatments on offer and the question
arises whether Gerson patients should use any of these. The simple answer is that anything that
promotes healing and does not clash with the requirements of the Therapy is permissible and
potentially helpful. However, there is no margin for error, so let us see which techniques are safe
to use.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comReflexology or Zone Therapy dates back to Ancient Egypt, China and India. It is based
on the principle that the feet and hands are a mirror image of the body, and that by applying
pressure to certain points, especially on the feet, corresponding parts of the body are affected.  The
purpose of the treatment is to break up congestion, blockages and patterns of stress, and restore
homeostasis, the body’s internal equilibrium. Reflexology does not claim to diagnose or cure, but
it has a good record of improving general well-being. It must be used gently and cautiously with
cancer patients, avoiding reflex points that correspond to affected areas of the body.
Reiki  is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. Its
practitioners claim that there is an invisible life force energy that flows through us and keeps us
alive. If this energy becomes low, we fall sick and suffer from stress, so in order to heal the Reiki
master channels the energy through his or her hands into the patient’s body. There is no need for
massage, only for very gentle touch, but although the patient feels very little, the treatment is
truly holistic, affecting body, emotions, mind and spirit. Because of its non-specific nature Reiki
is able to help in any disease and works well with other medical or therapeutic techniques. The
word itself consists of two parts: Rei means higher power, Ki stands for life force energy, so the
implication is that Reiki is a spiritually guided way of restoring universal life force energy in
those who need it.
Acupuncture  originated in China some 2000 years ago, and has been known and increasingly
practiced in the U.S. since 1971. Its essence is the stimulation of certain anatomical points on the
body by penetrating the skin with thin metal needles and manipulating them by hand or electrical
means. This is claimed to regulate the nervous system, activate the body’s own painkilling
biochemicals and strengthen the immune system. Acupuncture has a proven record of good pain
control and of hastening recovery from surgery. It can impart a sense of well-being and boosts
depleted energy. Acupuncture needles, which cause minimal pain, were approved by the FDA
for use by licensed practitioners in 1996. Today this ancient technique is used in the U.S. by
thousands of physicians, dentists and other practitioners for the prevention or relief of pain, and
members of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture use it on cancer patients in many
hospitals and clinics.
Yoga  first emerged in India some 5000 years ago. It has several varieties, including hatha
yoga,  a physical discipline consisting mainly of stretching and breathing exercises, which has
grown in popularity in the West since the mid-20th century. Being non-competitive, gentle, and
accessible to people of all ages and levels of ability, yoga is ideal exercise for Gerson patients,
who wish to improve their flexibility, stamina and muscle tone. Yoga postures, known as asanas,
help to achieve balance and poise. The breathing exercises are soothing and relaxing and increase
the supply of oxygen to the organism, a great advantage, since cancer cells can only thrive in
an anaerobic, i.e., oxygen-free setting. Please note:  patients suffering from lung cancer or
emphysema should only undertake breathing exercises under the supervision of a trained yoga Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

Massage for Gerson patient must be limited to the mildest, gentlest kind, involving barely
more than a soft stroking. Deep manipulation is strictly counter-indicated, because cancer patients’
muscles are normally weakened and vigorous handling could easily damage them.
 The only kind of massage Dr. Gerson recommended for cancer patients consisted of a twice-
daily rub of their skin before meals with a mixture of two tablespoons of rubbing alcohol and two
tablespoons of wine vinegar in 1⁄2 glass of water. This method stimulates the circulation, opens the
capillaries and. leaves the patients feeling refreshed and invigorated. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

Watch Out—Pitfalls Ahead
 To err is human, and as humans we can make mistakes in any area of life. But when seriously
ill people undertake a potentially life-saving program, such as the Gerson Therapy, even a
minor blunder or oversight could cause a major setback. This way of healing demands a total
transformation—not only of lifestyle but also of how the patients understand the principles of
sickness, health and healing, and how they respond to their bodies’ needs. This understanding is
all the more important, because the therapy forbids a great many things that are normal parts of
the Western lifestyle, and patients need to know  the reason behind the strictures in order to accept
them wholeheartedly.
 There is also the matter of observing the rules of the therapy, even without an authority figure
to check or chide the patient, as there would be in a conventional medical setting. It takes maturity
and inner strength to be one’s own supervisor and stay on the straight and narrow path—but the
rewards are enormous and make it all more than worthwhile.
Save Up Your Energy!
 So let’s take a close look at the possible mistakes, temptations and tripwires that a patient
is likely to encounter, especially in the early stages of the Gerson protocol. Ironically enough,
the first pitfall is the great improvement in the patient’s condition that sets in during the first few
weeks on the full therapy, especially if these are spent at the Gerson hospital in Mexico. When
such patients return home—this holds true especially for women—they look and feel better, are
often free from pain, and so the family assumes that they can once again rely on the patients to
take up all ‘normal’ duties and serve them. This is particularly heavy on the wife/mother, who
probably feels guilty anyway for ‘letting down’ the family by being ill and having very real needs
of her own; guilt may drive her back into her normal routine. Male patients normally have a more
relaxed attitude on coming home, but even they want to start to work, take exercise, or deal with
chores around the house.
 Neither behavior is acceptable. As stated before, patients need a great deal of rest. Their
bodies are working hard to detoxify and heal, and that is more important than any domestic
activity. Actually in most cases,

 possible, but inevitable.
Because as we look into another ’s eyes and truly begin to see
ourselves there, we immediately see that whatever they may have
done to us or for us, we have  done to or for another to some degree
as well. And so our entire “viewpoint” is altered dramatically!
And gosh, if that doesn’t cause us to take a double-take on any
sort of judgme nt we may have inflicted, and if it doesn’t immediately
open us to a space of overwhelming compassion and unde rstanding,
then I don’t know what would.
But getting back to the Oneness idea, I have read a lot both in
the CwG books as well as in other spiritual literature about how
embracing the idea of Oneness would profoundly alter life on the
planet for the better. And about how, if we saw each other as all
members of the same “human family,” and began sharing and
demonstrating this truth throu gh our choices and actions, the state of
our world could be transformed literally overnight! And I see the
power and the importance of this message.
However, what I’m really interested in focusing on here is how
we can incorporate the conce pt of Oneness into our individual lives,
and what impact it would have if we did. To me, this is where the
question is at... because in order to create change on a global
scale, we must first consider how it would look in our individual lives.
Am I making sense here?
NEALE: Y es, of course you are.

DR. COOPER: So I’m very curious what your thoughts are on how
can we embrace Oneness more in our own lives.

NEALE: By calling it to mind deliberately.
By asking ourselves certain questions, and by using certain
mental “tricks,” I want to say, or mental tools.
One of my favorite mental tools is the tool of “I Am.” Most
religions have shared with their followers the great statement that
God is purport ed to have made at some point along the way: “I Am
That I Am.” When I was a child I heard that in my Catholic  Parochial
School more than once. “I Am That I Am.” Supposedly a statement
applying to all things, a pronouncement of all truth, from God to
humanity.
And I asked the priest in my catechism class, “What does that
mean, I Am That I Am?” And he said, “I really can’t tell you
specifically and literally. It means broadly that God is everything, but
the literal translation of that into those words ... you know, I’m not
sure I really understand how that gets there, how those words take
us to that place of awareness.”
And then I was invited by God, in my Conversations with God,
to repeat that statement with regard to everything that I looked at. To
once a week walk down the street for fifteen minutes and quietly say
in my own mind, to no one else, just saying it to myself, with regard
to everything upon which my eyes light: “I Am That.”
“I Am That. I Am That. I Am That.”And I remember doing that once, just silently when I was
walking down the street with a friend, actually. I didn’t want to make
a big issue of it, and I just did it in my mind, in my head. But she saw
that I was preoccupied with something, and she finally said, “What
are you doing? I don’t understand... what are you doing?”
And I said, “Oh, I didn’t realize it was that obvious. I’m just
saying something to myself.”
And she said, “W ell, what are you saying to yourself?”
And I said, “Well I’m just saying ‘I Am That. I Am That. I Am
That. I am that beautiful flower across the street in the flower pot, I
am that garbage truck going by, I am that beautiful French poodle
with its tail wagging for its master, I am that other lady walking. I Am
That’.”
And my friend looked at me and she said, “Wow, you’ve really
gone over the edge! You’re really losing it, man. You’re not that!
You’re you! Did this New Spirituality of yours make you think that
you’re not you anymore?”
I said, “No, no! I am that!”
She said, “No, you’re not that!”
I said, “No, no, no, I am that, I AM!”
And then I heard what I just said.
I heard my own voice. “I am that,” I was insisting. “I am that, I
am!” And then I realized that the Great Statement of God had been
historically mistranslated. It had been, from the start, “mis-written”!
They forgot to put the comma in. The place for the comma is, “I am
that... (comma)... I am.”
And then I understood.So that’s one tool that I use. Once a week I walk down the street
or walk around the house for fifteen minutes and repeat to myself, in
my own mind, “I Am That.” Whatever my eyes light upon. And I don’t
reject it if it’s ugly or doesn’t seem pleasant, and I don’t allow myself
to feel somehow overblown in my own mind if it’s something beautiful
and wonderful. I just notice that I’m telling myself the truth about
everything.
Now a second tool that I use is when I see anyone do anything
—and this is not a once-a-week thing. I try to do this as often as I
can during a regular day—when I observe what looks like another
person behaving in a certain way.
This is particularly useful when their behavior is a little bit off-
putting, but it can also be used when their behavior is attractive as
well. I say in the moment that I observe the behavior of another,
“There I go again. There I go again. ” And then, by that means, I
notice two things. One: I’ve done the same exact thing in my life that
I see that person doing. And two: I’m doing it again in my life!
Through that other person. Because there really is no Separation.
And so that’s how I allow myself to feel “at one” with the other
person. I often ask myself the question, “Have I ever experienced a
part of me that’s behaved in this exact same way?” And the answer
inevitably comes back, yes. And then I have a physical experience of
being one with that other.
And the third way, the third and final tool that I share with people
about being able to bring that experience of Oneness forward, is by
noticing that there have been times in my life when I have felt the
feeling of another as if it were my own. And I can remember those
times vividly.There have been moments when I have been so empathi c that
I could actually feel the feelin gs of another as if I was feeling them,
right then and there.
And that is not terribly unusu al. All of us have those mom ents.
But when I have those mome nts, I store them in my memory bank, in
a special place that I return to when I’m feeling separate from
another, or when I’m feeling the need or the desire to reconnect with
my sense of Oneness.
Feelings are the language of the soul, and I’ve had many
moments in my life when I have joined another in their feelings so
completely that they might as well have been my own feelings. And
then the Separation between us virtually disappears. Moments of
great sadness, moments of great happiness, moments of great joy,
moments of great victory, moments of defeat—I have shared those
moments emotionally as if they were my own. I have not merely
observed them, I have not merely witnessed them, I have actually
shared them.  I have felt them simultaneously  with the other. All of us
have had those kinds of shared experiences. And recalling those
moments, and being on the lookout for them again, is another tool
that I use when I want recall the experience of my Oneness with
others.

DR. COOPER: With all of the practice you’ve had spiritua lly, how do
you find your experience now, day-to-day, in terms of feeling
Separation versus feeling Oneness?

NEALE: I’m feeling Separatio n probably 60 or 70 percent, maybe 80
percent of the time. And I’m feeling Oneness maybe 10 or 15 or 20percent of the time... as opposed to how it used to be, when I felt
Oneness abou t 2 percent of the time. So I think I’ve made huge
strides.
But Mastery, of course, is feeling that experience of Oneness all
the time. I’m not even close to that. But I’m heading there, and I’m
increasing the number of moments in my life when I feel that. I can
feel it increasing almost on a day-by-day basis.
So am I feeling  more “at one” with another and with every thing
else in life than I did twenty years ago, before Conversations with
God? Oh, my gosh, yes. Becaus e in those days I really didn’t
experience that more than 2 or 3 percent

states, c onsciousness research, a nd the Realization of the Presence of God
as Self.
His published works, as well as recorded lectures, have been widely
recognized as unique in that a very advanced state of spiritual awareness
occurred in an in dividual with a scientific and clinical background who was
later able to verbalize and explain the unusual phenomenon in a manner that
is clear and comprehensible.
The tran sition from the normal ego state of mind to its eliminati on by the
Presence is described in the trilogy Power vs. For ce  (1995, rev. 2012,
repub. 2013), which won praise even from Mother T eresa; The Eye of the I:
Fr om Which Nothing Is Hidden  (20 01); and I: Reality and Subjectivity
(2003), which have been transla ted into the major languages of the world.
T ruth vs. Falseh ood: How to T ell the Differ ence  (2005), T ranscending the
Levels of Consciousness: Stairw ay to Enlightenment  (2006), Discovery of
the Pr esence of God: Devo tional Nonduality  (2007), and Reality,
Spirituality and Modern Man  (2008) continue the exploration of the ego’ s
expressions and inherent limitations and how to transcend them. Letting
Go: The Pathway of Surr ender  (2012) reveals a way to remove the
obstacles to the experience of the Higher Self. Success Is for Y ou: Using
Heart-Center ed Principles for Lasting Abundance and  Fulfillment  (2016)
provides a precise method for reaching success in business and other arenas
of life.
The trilo gy was preceded by re search on the Nature of Consciousness
and published as the doctoral dissertation, Qualitative and Quantitative
Analysis and Calibration of the Levels of Human Consciousness  (1995),
which correlated the seemingly disparate domains of science and
spirituality. This  was accomplished by the major discovery of a techniquethat, for  the first time in human  history, demonstrated a means to discern
truth from falsehood.
The importance of the initial work was given recognition by its very
favorable and extensive revie w in Brain/Mind Bulletin  and at later
presentations such as the International Conference on Science and
Consciousness. In response to his observation that much spiritual truth has
been mi sunderstood over the ages due to lack of explanation, Dr. Hawkins
presented monthly seminars that provided detailed explanations, which are
too lengthy to describe in book  format. Recordings are available that end
with questions and answers, thus providing additional clarification. The
Book of  Slides: The Complete Collection Pr esented at the 2002–2011
Lectur es with Clarifications  (2018) is the compendium of his lecture slides.
The ove rall design of his lifetime work, he said, was to recon textualize
the human experience in terms of the evolution of conscious ness and to
integrate a comprehension of both mind and spirit as expressions of the
innate Divinity that is the su bstrate and ongoing source of life and
Existence. This dedication is signified by the statement “ Gloria in Excelsis
Deo! ” with which his published works begin and end.Hay House T itles of Related Inter est

and is called "hibernation" or wakeless, American Pathologists
Fay and Smith called artificial hibernation state, which
they caused cancer patients using hypnotics
and dosed cooling. Many cases of such reversible
states in humans as described in our press, and foreign,
However, science still can not explain why this is possible
with the person. in support can give an example, described
B. Flaygom in the book "The attention of the avalanche," published in 1960: "After
febrile razgrebaniya snow till noon on February 2 was able to extract
from under his 26-year Frayzenera, buried avalanche
January 21 at 2 am! Forces finally left it in the
when he issued a last cry for help, being already under
snow. But what is it? Frayzener began to recover and even opened
eyes! In a low voice, but quite clearly he talked about his agony
and seized him happy when he realized that he was saved, because he was
alive after 13 days spent in an avalanche. "
In Russia, too, reported cases of recovery of people who died
as a result of deep freeze in the winter. Often find people
frozen to such an extent that there was no slightest manifestation
life, but once they warmed, they were revived.
For example, in March 1960 in the hospital morgue, one of the farms
Kazakhstan's taken a man's body. in the act of inspection was made
record: "stiff body completely ice-covered, with no signs of
life. Tapping on the body causes a dull sound, like a shock
the tree. The temperature at the surface of the body below 0 ° C. Eyes wide
disclosed and they formed an icy crust. Pulse and respiration
not bugged. Diagnosis: general freezing, clinical
death! ". Contrary to this conclusion, Dr. PS Abrahamian took
vigorous measures to revive the victim: warm warm
water, stimulation of cardiac activity, the artificial
respiration, heart massage. One and a half hours of hard work doctor
managed to return a person to life, though had to be amputated
his fingers. Victim was 29-year-old tractor
VI Kharin. He was returning on a tractor in the village, but suddenly
motor is dead. After two unsuccessful attempts to start
motor tractor decided to get home on foot, but lost
orientation, strength left him. Then he decided to relax a bit,
he overcame a dream, then it is almost completely drifted snow. While his
sought out, it took 3-4 hours tractor driver found without a hat he lost
her on the road.
36
36Another unusual incident occurred in Tokyo. Summer 1967
dawned very hot. in one of these days, the driver of the truck-
refrigerator Masaru Saito decided to relax a bit and cool off
in the refrigerator truck which contained blocks of dry
ice, ie solid carbon dioxide. Refrigerator door suddenly
closed, and the driver was trapped, completely helpless
in front of three extremely dangerous factors: cold (-10 ° C), fast
increasing due to evaporation of dry ice concentration
carbon dioxide and oxygen deficiency arising in connection
expenditure from reserves of oxygen while breathing in a hermetically
confined space. When the driver learned of the refrigeration
chamber, he found himself in a completely frozen state, and gave no
no signs of life. But at a nearby hospital he was
provided urgent medical care, and he was rescued.
Why do Kharin and Saito did not die? both as a result of
significantly lowering the temperature of the brain occurred
the so-called hypothermia, which protect nerve cells
from damage due to oxygen deficiency, as
oxygen consumption was negligible. in the case of Japanese
driver hypothermia developed rapidly and achieved great
depth. in the refrigerator was a high concentration of carbon
dioxide emitted from the dry ice that has a narcotic
impact, resulting in the degree of adaptability of the organism
to hypoxia increased. Similar results for
experiments with animals, even before these cases received a Soviet scientist
NN Timofeev. in a sealed room to him
managed for the whole day to cool the experimental animals to 5-7 ° C by
increase in carbon dioxide and reduced
oxygen, and then return the animals to life. Scientists have always
with particular interest applicable to similar striking cases
trying to give them a scientific explanation. Learning about the case with Saito in Tokyo
Yugoslavian scientist Anzhus decided to reproduce this phenomenon
in experimental conditions. He placed a white rat in a hermetically
closed glass vessel at low temperature. Fast
increased concentration of carbon dioxide emitted by rats with
breathing, contributed to the same rapid and deep cooling
animals. as a result found that rats that normally
conditions may, without danger to life transfer cooling only
up to 15-16 ° C with increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide transfer
the temperature to 1-2 ° C. in other experiments it was found that lowering
body temperature slows the metabolic process
and reducing the need of animals to oxygen. When
body temperature of 28 ° C, oxygen consumption decreased to 50% of the
normally required oxygen at 24 ° C - up to 30% and at 20 ° C - up
15%. In addition, dramatically slowed heart activity, breathing
and circulation, making the life of organisms preserved in
minimal consumption of nutrient stores.
37
37But back to the cases of recovery of frozen people. Usually all
Clinical cases of death due to hypothermia temperature
internal organs of people went down, usually to 26-24 ° C.
However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, one
of them. in February 1951 in a hospital in Chicago, brought 23-year-old
black woman, found out half-dressed in the snow. She spent the 1911
hours with fluctuations in air temperature from - 18 to - 26 ° C. Temperature
her internal organs at the time of admission was 18 ° C.
Modern surgeons are rarely solved so cool man
low temperature, even during complex operations, as
assumed that this is the limit below which may occur
irreversible changes in the cerebral cortex. But in the described
If the doctors were surprised by the fact that such a strong
supercooling of the body injured was still breathing, although rarely
(3-5 breaths per minute). Pulse was also very retarded (12-20 strokes
per minute) and irregular (pause between heart beat
reached 8.). The doctors managed to save her life, but had
amputate the feet and fingers.
Until recently, scientists believed that if the drowned
Rights not taken out of water for 5-6 minutes. it is inevitable
die as a result of irreversible pathological changes in the cortex
brain caused by acute oxygen deficiency.
However, it was found that in cold water, this time can significantly
last. For example, in the U.S. state of Michigan
registered a case: 18-year-old student Brian Kaninhem
fell through the ice of a frozen lake, and it drew out a
after 38 min. The victim immediately taken to the nearest
hospital, where with the help of a respirator (he inhaled
pure oxygen), he returned to life. Certainly helped
and the fact that the young man's body was chilled in an ice
water. Another case occurred in a 5-year old boy Vegard
Sletemunenom from city Lilestrema (Norway) - he failed
under the ice of a frozen river. 40 min. the lifeless body of a child
carried to the shore and started doing CPR and massage
heart. Soon the boy had signs of life, and through
two days, he recovered his consciousness and he asked: "Where are my
Glasses? "last December in the snowy mountains rescuers found
frozen body of a 35-year Japanese businessman Mitsutaki
Yuchikoshi. This happened after 24 days after his disappearance. On
time of detection, the body temperature Yuchikoshi dropped to 22 ° C, pulse
almost can not feel, the internal organs were not functioning.
Businessman immediately taken to hospital where, after brief treatment
from hypothermia and blood loss Yuchikoshi came to himself, and soon
felt already and did great.
"He was frozen alive and survived - said one of the healing
Doctors Mitsutaki. - If we can understand why, we have
opens many perspectives. "
38
38This case concerned scientists around the world. Perhaps
Is that the man remained a long time under the influence
low temperatures, and then fully restored its function?
American scientists from Boston, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles
answer this question: "Yes, it is quite possible."
Before relapsing rights in "hibernation" during the long
interplanetary flights we've seen except in science fiction
films, but very soon it may become a reality. Researchers
argue that they are close as ever to the ability to immerse a person

 fourth day they controlled the pressure and on the seventh day they
released me.
Nevertheless, already nothing was the same.
When leaving the hospital they said the hypertension crisis was my fault.
Doctors thought that these problems were to the esophageal flow
and others to a problem of the brain.
I saw many doctors as cardiologists, gastroenterologists, neurologists,
irid61ogist, acupunturist, etc. All made a concerted effort, but they did not
manage to standardize my pressure to tranquilize me.
Until recently he took Tenormin every night. They are blockers of the pressure to
avoid the nocturnal hypertension crises. Sometimes J felt that J was going to die.
Already for several years a friend whom he is more than 70 years old but he
pretends he is as healthy as an individual of 50 years suggested me to take age
calmly with Urine.
Without great excuses 1 every day took a glass of my Urine in the mornings, but
not gave importance to this. Recently, I found a book and I decided to investigate.
What I read was much more interesting and I continued investigating.
I then bought the book named the Curative Power of Urine,
(the liquid gold of Health),
by May Ana, and the Water of the Life, by J.W. Armstrong.
But what I decided was to drink my Urine as to what I read in this page,
and yet really, I began the therapy 18 days ago.
It clarified that I did not need to consult any doctor.
What could I lose if the Urine is sterile and it does not produce any disease?
106 Today, after 18 days I have initiated the therapy and the anxiety and the fear
which preceeds to a hypertension crisis have disappeared 90 percent.
In general I feel far better and I am recovering my original perception of things
much better. I also encounter better flavor of foods.
J have better digestion and little by little J have been recovering my tranquiUity.
My pressure has been normal 115-80 118-80 with a pulse of 75 per minute.
That f did not even have before the crisis of two years ago.
I suppose that still I am not cured, but have taken the first step towards my
definitive treatment. 1 offer my testimony to those in case it serves to them as
something. I hope that they are animated to put in practice this therapy that is
free, in benefit of its health. Greetings and that God bless them.

My name is Edelmira Manriquez. I live Santoyo and in the street Cuautla, Juarez
Colony in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. My telephone is-------.
I want to make public my testimony. My Celestial Father again gave the
opportunity for me to 1ive. 1 am a Leucemia patient (Cancer in the Blood).
In March of 1999 the last of the my three children" Lucia" I gave her birth.
I noticed that a muscle grew of considerable form in my abdomen.
I returned to the doctor. He began to examine and between analysis, ultrasounds,
x-rays, studies of bone marrow and others; they finished diagnosing
" LEUKEMIA" to me. According to the doctor, my problem took but of a year.
As it is logical, the tears came and other thousand questions.
J initiated fasting and J deaJt to face my disease with vengeance.
That disease was mine and it would be with me all the way that I had left of life.
One night I woke up contents. I deduced that during my dream my Celestial
Father close remembered that he was part of me.
1 put myself in his hands and 1 entrusted much to my family above.
That night I found half of my strength and other half I obtained it when I finished
reading the book of Urine Chemistry by Sonia Rodriguez.
Two friends of mine also read her book.
After reading the book, the 19 of September of 1999, at 9 in the morning,
I did the first taking of my Urine promising to my Celestial Father that I will take it
by everything what I had left of life. I also chose to leave all medicines.
J did not doubt at any moment, what J had to do.
I mean to them that my hemoglobin was very low (6 mg/ml) and that the number
of 270.000 leukocytes was above of pox mililiter
(normal level: 5.000 to 10.000 leukocytes by mililiter.)
107 In addition I received very high doses of oral chemotherapy and other medicines
Uke the interferon and many others.
At the rnoment my leukocytes are normal and I am alive happy with my family.
Everytht rrg was a slow process relatively (5 months), during which little by little
J was fe :r:ing better. Every time with force my appetite and desires to Jive grew.
Urine is t~ihe first wonder of the world. Like medicine for the health it is a gift that
God t: 11e Father donated to us because he does not want. Disease with us.
He wants always to be happy.
With Edelmira affection.

I am a young adult. I AM very interested in the urine-therapy, since my maternal

my grandfather has. Confide in my faith and the Urine-therapy.
