Service  of the Light,  whether  it be a home,  an automobile,
organs,  or airplanes;  but  don't  be impatient,  I plead  with
you.
Go on making  your  Decrees!  Do not limit  them  and  you
will be surprised  what  one  year  will  supply  to you;  but
when  you  say Those  Decrees,  don't  let your  human  have
anything  to say afterward!  Make  it be silent  concerning
your  Decree,  and  your  Decree  will  go on and  be fulfilled.
Remember,  when  you  issue  a Decree,  the Power  of the Uni-
verse  goes  into  action  to perform  that  Service;  and  unless
you become  inharmonious  and  allow  your  human  feeling
to affect  It, your  Decree  will  go on and  act until  the achieve-
ment  is accomplished!  It is a Law  of the Universe,  no one's
opinion!  Therefore,  if you  do these  things  the results  will
be the Fulfillment  of your  Heart's  Desire!
I say to you  tonight,  if you  will  stand  with  Us, We  will
stand  with  you!  That  is a fair  contract!  Accept  the  Full

SAN  FRANCISCO,  CALIFORNIA  February  13,
Mr. Ballard:
The Great  Divine  Director  will  speak  His  Wishes  to the
students,  as He flashes  the Words  before  me in Living
Light.  Will  you  feel within  yourselves  the Mighty  Import
of These  Words ?
GREAT  DIVINE  DIRECTOR
In My Humble  Endeavor  to serve  you,  Oh Beloved  Stu-
dents  of San  Francisco,  and  those  who  are visiting  here,
it is with  a Definite  Purpose  I have  come  to render  a Service
for you.  From  By Being,  there  have  gone  Threads  of Light,
Streams  of Light,  if you  please,  carrying  Definite  Qualities
into your  Hearts  and  your  Feeling  World;  that  you  may
more  quickly  enter  into  the Harmony  and  the Acceptance
of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence";  and  thereby  gain  your
Victory,  so you do not have  to go thru  a much  longer  period
for Its Achievement.
A little  less Powerful  Service  is being  rendered  for you,
than  there  was  to the Children—Rex,  Bob,  Nada  and  Pearl
and This  Good  Brother,  who  came  to Me in India.  I have
come  to you here,  in the comfort  of this  auditorium  which
is provided  in your  city.  Will  you  feel and  keep  before  your
consciousness,  that  This  Instruction  is not an ordinary  ac-
12 DISCOURSE  III  13
tivity ? Even  from  Our  Octave  of Light,  It is an Extraordi-
nary  Activity!  I may  not set aside  time  and  space  for all of
you, as a Group,  as was  done  for those  Blessed  Children;
but a Service  occupying  a similar  position  for you,  has been
rendered.
To the degree  you  can accept  This  Help  and  keep  your
feeling  world  harmonized,  will  you  see the Out-picturing
of Those  Qualities  more  quickly;  not  only  in producing
Perfect  Health  in your  body  and  more  quickly  solving  the
problems  before  you;  but  in quickly  rising  into  that  State
of Consciousness  where  you  no longer  consider  problems.
In calling  your  "Beloved  Mighty  I AM  Presence"  into  ac-
tion,  you  not only  solve  the apparent  ones,  but It keeps  you
above  all problems.  That  is your  Victory!  That  is the
Achievement  for which  you  have  come  into  many  embodi-
ments!
Today,  thru  the  Great  Gracious  Assistance  of our  Be-
loved  Saint  Germain,  He chose  of His Own  Volition,  to try
out and  prove—that  with  the Assistance  of the Great  Cos-
mic Law,  the  time  had  arrived,  when  great  numbers  of
mankind  could  understand,  appreciate  and  accept  the
Reality  of their  own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  the
Chart  shows  to you  definitely!
The Individual,  who  thinks  This  Great  Knowledge  Saint
Germain  has brought  forth,  is but imaginary,  can of course
receive  but little  benefit;  because  the repulsion  of his or her
own  feeling  of doubt,  will  repel  Our  Help;  until  such  time,
as those  Individuals  can  feel  the Great  Acceptance  of This 4 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
Knowledge,  This  Truth,  the Mightiest  which  the Earth  can
ever receive!
Your  Knowledge  of the Presence  and  the Acceptance  of
your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  is the END  of all Earthly
Pilgrimage!  Those  who  will  apply  This  Truth  as directed
and refuse  acceptance  to appearances,  will  quickly  enter
into the Fulness  of the Courage,  Strength  and  Confidence
which  gives  them  the certain  feeling  that  It is Really  True.
You will  understand,  Beloved  Ones,  after  centuries,  hun-
dreds  and  perhaps  thousands  of embodiments,  in which
each  of you  has lived,  the gaining  of your  momentum  of
limitations,  must  necessarily  be tremendous!  Notice  the
vast difference  in what  you  have  known  before,  as the ad-
vancement  of the mass—in  comparison  to your  Individual
Knowledge  of your  "Beloved  Mighty  I AM  Presence";  and
the Eye  Picture  which  you  have  before  you,  thru  which  you
are calling  your  three  faculties  of activity  into  vivid  action
for yourselves.
You may  accomplish  your  Victory  today,  thru  the Use
of the Violet  Consuming  Flame;  by calling  your  "Mighty
I AM  Presence"  into  action  to pass  It from  your  feet  up,
a Dazzling  Radiance  like  a blow-torch,  consuming  every-
thing  discordant  which  you  have  drawn  about  you  thru
the centuries.  Your  achievement  is definite,  certain  and
quickly  accomplished!
The accumulation  of limitations  which  you  have  drawn
about  you  thru  the  centuries,  has  been  a long  laborious
process.  Strange  is it not,  that  mankind  would  willingly DISCOURSE  III  15
draw  the  people  into  more  and  more  dense  and  limited
conditions ? Yet,  only  when  the people  know  the Great  God
Presence  which  beats  their  Hearts,  can  strength  be sus-
tained  within  the human  form;  which  will  enable  them  to
hold  their  attention  firm  enough  on their  "Mighty  I AM
Presence,"  to set them


 home until 8 or 9 o’clock atnight.) I was craving caffeine and sugar to give myself a lift, andI could get those at a fast food place. I felt guilty about not givingmy kids whole foods, but by the time evening came around I oftenfelt too tired to care. Luckily, I’m blessed with wonderful kidswho were aware of my problem and learned how to take careof themselves.
I was just getting by as a mother, doing the bare minimum.
The area where there was the most fallout was recreation andsocial activities. Once I’d taken care of the necessities, I just didn’thave the energy for anything more. My husband would take thekids places on Sundays, but I never went with them; I was sorelieved just to be able to rest and not have anyone asking me foranything. The kids got used to playing with their dad and notexpecting mom to be there.36 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  As far as socializing with other families went, I didn’t have
what it took to prepare meals and entertain. We were isolated. Myhusband compensated by socializing with his family, who live closeby. I enjoy my husband’s family but I rarely went with him andthe kids. I just wanted to rest.
I went to a lot of doctors about the fatigue. They all said there
was nothing they could do about it. Most of them were conde-scending and treated me like a child or some kind of mental case.
My husband was constantly concerned about my health and
what was going on with me. Our sex life had come to a standstill.I had no sex drive. It could have been because of the 20 milligramsof Paxil that I was taking for my depression. Or it might havebeen the blood pressure medication, which I took in high doses. Orit could have been plain old fatigue. You don’t feel much likehaving sex when all you want to do is lie down and rest.
What with all of my ailments and the depression and the
fatigue, I started to think my life was coming to an end. Familylife had become nothing but domestic tasks, and it seemed asthough every week my body was failing in another way. I was onmedication for depression but it didn’t help because I had this senseof impending doom. I wondered what would happen next thatwould cause me to be put on even more medication. I was unsureand frightened.
One day I was talking with the therapist I saw for my depres-
sion, and she mentioned that she had some other clients who’dbenefited from going to the compounding pharmacy in PalmDesert and getting natural hormone therapy. I went there, andthey recommended I see Dr. Platt. Since I had consulted with atleast 25 or 30 doctors, I was a little skeptical about seeing Dr.Platt. But I was desperate.
Soon after I went in for my intake interview, I started the
meal plan and I got off caffeine and sugar. A week later I startedtaking DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, and a T3 thyroid37 HORMONAL F ATIGUE AND RHONDA Y.   preparation. Dr. Platt told me about the Synthroid I’d been
taking for years, which previous doctors had prescribed for my lowthyroid. He explained to me that my body was unable to convertSynthroid’s T4 into T3, which is the actual thyroid hormone thatdoes all the metabolic work of the thyroid gland. Apparently I’dbeen taking Synthroid all those years, and it hadn’t been doinganything for me.
My energy level increased drastically. Between the hormones,
the increase in protein, the diet in general, and the removal ofmedications that had been throwing my body off balance, I founda big difference in my ability to function.
Once I had more energy, I wasn’t as grouchy or impatient as I
used to be. I was able to deal with things better both emotionallyand physically. The best part has been my ability to participatewith my family more. Whereas I used to let my husband take thechildren out while I stayed home and rested, now I can participatein family outings. Our church has volleyball twice a month, andnow I enjoy playing that with my family. We go walking andsightseeing. My children are so happy that mom can go places withthem now; I think they feel comfortable that mommy will be therewith them.
Also, before, we had no social life as a family. Now we try to
have guests visit the house twice a month to eat with us. Myhusband and I go out with other couples more often. I also see hisfamily more, which I enjoy.
Being able to socialize again, especially with my family, has
been so wonderful. For something so simple, it’s astonishing.
THE ROOTS OF FATIGUE
Let’s talk about fatigue. It came very close to ruining Rhonda’s
home life. She went to doctor after doctor, and no one could38 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  help her. Does that sound familiar? If it does, you’re not alone.
In my practice I meet many women who go to bed exhaustedand wake up tired. They’ve lost their zest for life, and they feelinadequate to the demands of a normal life.
Rhonda’s fatigue was caused by multiple factors, all of
them influenced by an imbalance of hormones. The mainsource of her fatigue was fibromyalgia—again, a very commoncondition and mostly ignored by the medical community. Animportant hormone associated with this condition is thyroid.Just getting the thyroid into balance often leads to a reductionin symptoms.
Another cause of her fatigue was recurrent hypoglycemia,
which is a low blood sugar or a rapid drop in blood sugar, acondition caused by the over-production of insulin, often dueto a lack of progesterone. Any time insulin levels go up, bloodsugar goes down. When you take sugar from the brain, thebrain gets severely fatigued (many readers will note this happen-ing between 3 and 4 in the afternoon). Progesterone helps tostabilize blood sugar and often eliminates afternoon fatigue.
Another cause of Rhonda’s fatigue was depression. This too
was caused by a low progesterone level, as well as the internal-ization of anger. She also had asthma, which can lower oxygenlevels in the body, contributing to fatigue.
A low thyroid level by itself can cause fatigue. Furthermore,
Rhonda was on Claritin for allergies and Paxil for depres-sion—and the side effects of both drugs include weaknessand fatigue.
Why couldn’t her doctors help her? As I’ve said before,
doctors are for the most part unaware of the pivotal role ofhormones in sustaining health. They simply don’t know howeasy it is to help people like Rhonda. For me, turning Rhonda’shealth around was simple: we adjusted a couple of little thingshere and there. It’s not hard to take care of patients. You just39 HORMONAL F ATIGUE AND RHONDA Y.   have to listen to them and be aware of how hormones affect
the body.
Rhonda’s brand of fatigue was something I would never
have confused with chronic fatigue syndrome, which is adisease associated with fevers and swollen lymph glands. But Ithink many doctors misdiagnose people like Rhonda, treatingthem for chronic fatigue syndrome when what they actuallyhave is a simple case of unbalanced hormones. You can see howpeople like Rhonda could be labeled as having chronic fatiguesyndrome. The signs and symptoms are there, but theunderlying causes are different.
DRUGS AND MORE DRUGS
This brings up another point I will make again and again in
this book: many members of the medical community tend toover-prescribe drugs as a consequence of misdiagnosing simplehormone imbalances. Besides the anti-depressant Paxil,Rhonda was also taking Claritin, prednisone, Prevacid, andSynthroid. Each drug was causing one or more side effects, andRhonda’s body was spiraling out of control under the influenceof all of these chemicals.
My first step with patients like Rhonda is to get them off
of as many medications as possible while giving them proges-terone to start the healing process. However, with some drugs,such as Paxil, usage should be gradually tapered off, notsimply stopped “cold turkey.”
Progesterone helps take away asthma, so they can soon
start weaning themselves off any asthma medications theymight be taking, too. In fact, progesterone has a significantlypositive influence on asthma in both men and women. I40 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  suspect it is estrogen that creates asthma in many people. Keep
in mind that men and women have the same hormones.
A male patient, 57 years old, who came to see me because
of weight concerns, was on four medications for asthma.When I told him that in three weeks he would be off all of hisasthma medications, he responded, “Doc, I’ve had asthma for35 years, and the Mayo Clinic prescribes my medications.” Isaid, “Watch.” Three weeks later he came into my office, satdown, and said, “Doc, you won’t believe this … I’m off all ofmy medications for asthma!”
Progesterone treats asthma for two reasons—it blocks
estrogen, a very common cause of asthma, and it breaks downinto cortisone, which relieves asthma. Also, people who are lowin progesterone very commonly have hay fever. Very often,within two weeks of starting progesterone all their hay feverand allergies are gone.


 lay at the heart of Jeanne’ s difficulties
was a tendency to pre-reject herself. Instead of assuming that she must be
imperfect, she could start noticing how her husband really feels. In my
experience, if you are getting stuck in negativity, you’re likely to assume
that other people feel the same way about you, and mostly that’s not true.
People who really love you keep on loving you, even when you’re not
loving yourself.At an unconscious level Jeanne’ s pre-rejection of herself has kept her on
the lookout for the slightest reason that someone else should also reject her.
The more accepting others are, the more she believes she has to be vigilant.
The hidden belief here is that the more loving her husband is, the smaller
the slip needed to destroy that love. In reality, love doesn’ t work this way.
Alan’ s deepenin g love for his wife would make him accept and forgive
more and more of what she sees as unworthy in herself. Thus the spiritual
truth is validated: the love you get is limited only by your ability to receive
it.
“It’s amazingly easy to shut someone else down,” I said. “Without
thinking about it we let pass countless occasions during the day when love
makes a tentative appearance—in other words, we turn our backs on spirit.
Your beloved may start to say something nice or give you an affectionate
touch or ask how you are feelin g. Notice how often this seed isn’t allowed
to grow, how quickly you simply cut the gesture of f or take it for granted. In
this way you limit the love you are receiving, rather than nurturing its faint
beginnings.”
“But I want Alan to love me,” Jeanne said. “Why would I cut off the very
thing I want?”
“Because negati vity inside says no when love is offered. Look at your
body language as well as your words, for you don’t have to say the word no
to shut Alan down. Do you detect a tendency to shrug, contract, bow your
head, or turn away when he tries to be loving? Keep the follow ing thought
in mind for similar situations:
Being shown a gestur e of love is like being offer ed a portion of God.
“Look into the eyes of your beloved and learn to believe that love is
really there. The ego, with all its fears and self-interests, blocks your ability
to perceive the portion of God that your beloved is offering you. Eventually
your expectations become self-f ulfilling; the more you shut down gestures
of love, the less motivated your beloved will be to make them.
“It isn’t easy to stop sending these automatic turnof f signals, but you can
take the first step by refusing to believe that no when someone else sees you
as lovable. Once you stop shutt ing love down, it will become easier to let
no be replaced by yes. This change shouldn’ t be forced. Allow Alan to payattention to you as much as he wants, without manipulation or rejection.
Start talking more about love in general with all those who are loving
toward you—they will enjoy this topic more than you realize.”
We were near the end of our time together, but Jeanne was a different
person from the woman who had walked in—she had the look of someone
much happier with herself. In parting I said, “When you find a genuinely
loving person, as you have, you will see that you are in his heart not
because you look a certain way or act a certain way, but because he is
following his own nature—loving others is just the easiest way he knows
how to be. Whe n you realize this, the whole problem of not deserving is
exposed for the illusion it really is.”
INFATUA TION
When attraction  reaches its peak, the phase known as infatuation begins. It
is the most delirious stage of love—immortalized by Romeo and Juliet,
Cyrano de Bergerac, and a thousand screen lovers—but it is also the most
controversial. It is a time of extravagant emotions and wild optimism.
Awareness of boundaries and limitations collapses, replaced by impossible
idealism, at least as seen by an outside observer. To her family Juliet was
not the sun or the moon, and Romeo’ s obsession with her was a danger to a
young girl’ s virtue and safety.
But outside standards matter not at all in this phase. Infatuated lovers
dwell so single-mindedly on their intoxicated emotions that they can hardly
eat or sleep, their work becomes only a distraction from their consuming
love.
Infatuation may be so extreme because it is a release from the loveless
constriction we call normal. In spiritual terms, being infatuated means
seeing another person as God, a divine being to be worshiped. In ancient
India, to truly see the divine and be bathed in its radiance was called Bhakti,
or devotion. From the devotional hymns of the Rig Veda, the oldest record
of human worship, to. the present, bhakti has been far and away the most
popular means of approaching  God. Religious worship, in the form of
prayers, offering s, and celebrations, is an all-consuming affair for a true
bhakta, who asks nothing more than to be intoxicated by the Lord.In the Old Testament, when the poet of the Song of Solomon rhapsodizes
about his love for God, his words gush as romantically as if he were
swooning over a woman:
You split me, tore my heart
open, filled me with love.
You poured your spirit into me;
I knew you as I know myself.
The parallel between a lover ’s intoxication and a saint’ s is impossible to
miss. It is in this phase of infatuation that lovers say they worship each
other. “I am in love with loving,” St. Augustine declares, echoing the
passions of a million secular lovers.
What makes romantic love seem so religious is this sense of merging.
The pouring of one spirit into another produces a ravishing ecstasy at its
most intense. Perhaps no word is more recurrent during the delirium of
infatuation than new. The release from old boundaries is like a birth that
makes all things new.
The source of this newness is not a new person, however, but a shift in
perception. The sensation of merging with another person comes about in
the brain. To date we have no biochemical explanation for the suddenness
and strength of this shift, although researchers have found that
neuropeptides associated with intense pleasure, in particular serotonin, are
elevated in lovers. Enhanced immune response in lovers is also well known
to medical researchers. Yet the scientific paradigm is hardly able to account
for the way romantic love can abolish the walls of separation that define the
self. There is an irreversible trend from early infancy to create a stronger
and stronger distinction between  entities called “me” and “you.” Normally
we don’t think of the natural separation between “me” and “you” as a
source of suffering. Yet no agony is worse for the bhakta, or devotee, than
to be away from God. In romance too the release from separation is so
liberating that it has the power of a religious illumination.
This is not to say that everyone who falls in love falls this hard.
Sometimes attraction builds slow ly, and other times the infatuation may be
one-sided. When the object of love doesn’ t respond, infatuation becomes a
self-centered preoccupation with fantasy. Spiritual masters have declared,
however, that even when love is returned one is truly inspired by one’s ownhigher Self. The reason that the word Self is more  appropr iate than the word
soul is that it accen tuates how love’ s journey is totally contained  within
one’s own being.
The insights of this phase center on the ecstatic mer ging of self and Self:
Merging with another person is illusion; mer ging with the Self is supr eme r eality.
If infatuation is madness, sanity pales beside it.
The infatuated vision of lovers is like the holy vision of saints.
BETWEEN  TWO WORLDS
Curiously, falling in love has a poor reputation among psycholo gists, going
back to Freud, who fiercely ridiculed the spiritual meaning of romance. He
viewed it as a primitive regression—his term for any retreat from adult self-
control to infantile instincts and drives. Regression had previously been
exalted as sacred, at least in literary circles. The greatest of English
Romantic poets, William Wordsworth, articulated a common belief that
childhood is the holiest time of life. Wordsworth describes a divinely
inspired conditi on of infancy, when we are still bathed in light from the
celestial world before birth:
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.
By being born, Wordsworth believed, an infant drops into a darker world,
but for a while the perception of holiness lingers; as he goes on to say,
“Heaven lies about us in our infancy,” meaning that the state of innocence
itself turns earth into a paradis e. By some fortunate chance Wordsworth
himself could still recall that earliest time when his surroundings were
“apparelled in celestial light.” But the loss of this radiant innocence had to
come, as it does for all: “At length the Man perceives it die away,/and fade
into the light of common day.”
The condition described


ise money.”  You
lose what you criticize. There is nothing good or bad, but thinki ng of
it in either light makes it so.
11. Repeat frequently, “I like money. I use it wisely, construc-tively,
and judiciously. I release it with joy, and it returns a thousand fold.”
12. Money is not evil any more so than copper, lead, tin, or iron
which you may find in the ground. All evil is due to igno-rance and
misuse of the mind’s powers.
13. To picture the end result in your mind causes your subcon-
scious to respond and fulfill your mental picture.
 116  14. Stop trying to get something for nothing. There is no such thing
as a free lunch. You must give to receive. You must give mental
attention to your goals, ideals, and enterprises, and your deeper m ind
will back you up. The key to wealth is application of the la ws of the
subconscious mind by im-pregnating it with the idea of wealth.

Your Subconscious Mind as a Partner
in Success
Success means successful living. A long period of peace, joy, an d
happiness on this plane may be termed success. The eternal
experience of these qualities is the everlasting life s poken of by Jesus.
The real things of life, such as peace, harmony, integrity, secur ity, and
happiness are intangible. They come from the Deep Self of ma n.
Meditating on these qualities builds these treasures of heav en in our
subconscious. It is where moth and rust do not consume, and where
thieves do not break through and steal. MATT. 6:20.
• The three steps to success
Let us discuss three steps to success: The first step to  suc-cess is to
find out the thing you love to do, then do it. Success is in loving your
work.
Although, if a man is a psychiatrist, it is not adequate for hi m to get
a diploma and place it on the wall; he must keep up with the t imes,
attend conventions, and continue studying the mind and its workings.
The successful psychiatrist visits clinics and reads the l atest scientific
articles. In other words, he is informed in the most advanced m ethods
of alleviating human suffering. The successful psychiatrist or doctor
must have the interest of his patients at heart.
Someone may say, “How can I put the first step into opera-t ion? I
do not know what I should do.” In such a case, pray for guidance as
follows: “The infinite intelligence of my subcon-scious mind r eveals
to me my true place in life.” Repeat this prayer quietly, positively, and
lovingly to your deeper mind. As you persist with faith and
confidence, the answer will come to you as a feeling, a hunch, or a
tendency in a certain direction. It will come to you clearl y and in
peace, and as an inner silent awareness.
 118  The second step to success is to specialize in some part icular branch
of work and know more about it than anyone else. For example, if a
young man chooses chemistry as his profession, he should concentra te
on one of the many branches in this field. He should give all of hi s
time and attention to his chosen spe-cialty. He should become
sufficiently enthusiastic to try to know all there is avai lable about his
field; if possible, he should know more than anyone else. The young
man should become ardently interested in his work and should desire
to serve the world.
He that is greatest among you, let him become your serv-ant. There
is a great contrast in this attitude of mind in com-parison t o that of the
man who only wants to makes a living or just “get by.” “Getti ng by”
is not true success. Man’s motive must be greater, nobler, and more
altruistic. He must serve others, thereby casting his brea d upon the
waters.
The third step is the most important one. You must be sure that t he
thing you want to do does not redound to your success only. Your
desire must not be selfish; it must benefit humanity. The pat h of a
complete circuit must be formed. In other words, your idea must go
forth with the purpose of blessing or serving the world. I t will then
come back to you pressed down, shaken together, and running over. If
it is to benefit yourself exclusively, the circle or complete circuit  is not
formed, and you may ex-perience a short circuit in your life w hich
may consist of limita-tion or sickness.
•The measure of true success
Some people may say, “But Mr. James made a fortune in selling
fraudulent oil stock.” A man may seem to succeed for a while, but the
money he obtained by fraud usually takes wings and flies away. When
we rob from another, we rob from our-selves, because we are in a
mood of lack and limitation, which may manifest itself in our body,
home life, and affairs.
What we think and feel, we create. We create what we believe. Even
though a man may have accumulated a fortune fraudulently, he is not
 119  successful. There is no success without peace of mind. What good i s
man’s accumulated wealth if he cannot sleep nights, is sick, or has a
guilt complex?
I knew a man in London who told me of his exploits. He had been a
professional pickpocket and had amassed a large amount of money.
He had a summer home in France and lived in a royal fashion in
England. His story was that he was in con-stant dread of being
arrested by Scotland Yard. He had many inner disorders, whic h were
undoubtedly caused by his constant fear and deep-seated guilt
complex. He knew he had done wrong. This deep sense of guilt
attracted all kinds of trouble to him. Subsequently, he volunta rily
surrendered to the police and served a prison sentence. After  his
release from prison, he sought psychological and spiritual couns el and
became transformed. He went to work and became an honest, law-
abiding citizen. He found what he loved to do and was happy.
A successful person loves his work and expresses himself fu lly.
Success is contingent upon a higher ideal than the mere accumula tion
of riches. The man of success is the man who possesses great
psychological and spiritual understanding. Many of the great
industrialists today depend upon the correct use of their subconsc ious
minds for their success.
There was an article published some years ago about Flagle r, an oil
magnate. He admitted that the secret of his success was hi s ability to
see a project in its completion. For instance, in his case, he c losed his
eyes, imagined a big oil industry, saw trains running on track s, heard
whistles blowing, and saw smoke. Having seen and felt the fulf illment
of his prayer, his subconscious mind brought about its realizat ion. If
you imagine an objective clearly, you will be provided with the
necessities, in ways you know not of, through the wonder-working
power of your subconscious mind.
In considering the three steps to success you must never forget t he
underlying power of the creative forces of your sub-conscious mi nd.
This is the energy in back of all steps in any plan of succe ss. Your

MATT. 9:29.
Knowledge of a mighty force in you, which is capable of bringing to
pass all your desires, gives you confidence and a sense of peac e.
Whatever your field of action may be, you should learn the laws of
your subconscious mind. When you know how to apply the powers of
your mind, and when you are expressing yourself fully and giving of
your talents to others, you are on the sure path to true success. If you
are about God’s business, or any part of it, God, by His ve ry nature, is
for you, so who can be against you? With this understanding there is
no power in heaven or on earth to withhold success from you.
• How he made his dream come true
A movie actor told me that he had very little education, but he had a
dream as a boy of becoming a successful movie actor. Out in the  field
mowing hay, driving the cows home, or even when milking them he
said, “I would constantly imagine I saw my name in big lights at a
large theatre. I kept this up for years until finally I  ran away from
home. I got extra jobs in the motion-picture field, and the day f inally
came when I saw my name in great, big lights as I did when I was a
boy!” Then he added, “I know the power of sustained imagination to
bring success.”

ELEVEN -DAY ELIMINATION REGIME
There are many eliminative regimes, and they all accomplish about the same results, through the fact that the body is g iven less
food, simpler foods and simpler combinations, more watery foods - so a greater transition can take place in the cells of the body.
This Eleven -Day Elimination Regime can be used by most persons in health, and for those who want to overcome the av erage
physical disorder. Those who are weak or feeble, however, should not follow the plan the full eleven days without supervision.
Those with tuberculosis should have both supervision and assistance.

Variation, as to the length of time and the manner in  which the foods are to be taken, may be adjusted to suit the history of the
patient. Examples: fruits, vegetables and broths can be taken for 1 day; or 1 day of just fruit; or 1, 2 or 3 days of vegetab les only.
Vegetables, taken in the form of broths, gen tly steamed vegetables and salads are a safer routine for the average beg inner than
citrus fruits. A hot bath should be taken every night during this diet regime. Enemas may be used the first four or five days, then
discontinued for natural movements. Not hing but water and fruit juices, preferably grapefruit, should be taken into the body for the
first three days. Drink one glass of juice every four hours of the day. The next two days fruit only - such as grapes, melons,
tomatoes, pears, peaches, plums; dr ied fruit such as prunes, figs, peaches, soaked overnight or baked apple.

In the six following days, breakfast should consist of citrus fruits. Between breakfast and lunch, any other kind of fruit. F or lunch,
have a salad of three to six vegetables and tw o cups of vital broth. When hungry between meals, fruit or fruit juices may be taken.
Dinner should consist of two or three steamed vegetables and two cups of vital broth. Fruit juices can be taken before retiri ng, if
wanted. Rigid adherence to the diet is  an absolute necessity for anyone attempting to regain good health. Eat plenty, but not to
satiety.

VITAL BROTH RECIPE:
2 C. carrot tops; 1 clove garlic; 2 C. potato peelings (1/2" thick); 2 C. beet tops; 2 C. celery tops; 3 C. celery stalk; 2 q t distille d
water; 1/2 tsp Savita or Vegex. Add a carrot and onion to flavor, if desired (grate or chop).
Ingredients should be finely chopped. Bring to a boil, slowly: simmer approximately 20 minutes.
Use only the broth after straining.
When finished with the above  regime return to Dr. Jensen’s Daily Food Regime.
The above elimination regime should be followed whenever a person changes from the old ways of living and begins to live righ t.
As a rule, it is wise to follow the elimination regime in any and all of the f ollowing cases: as a general cleanser two or three times a
year; at the time of crisis; when reduction of weight is desired; when hips get too large; when joints get stiff; when the sk in breaks
out; when constipation is present.

THE MASTER CHLOROPHYLL ELI MINATION DIET
This is a diet of just plain water, preferably using distil led water, and using one teaspoon of a liquid chlorophyll to one glass of
water every three hours. You can also use vegetable juice, but this is a diet where we are adding iron, gath ering all the oxygen we
can while we are breathing, and burning up the toxic waste by using the iron as found in liquid chlorophyll. Liquid chlorophy ll is
usually made as an extract from alfalfa leaves, which is one of the highest things we have in potassi um iron, which will attract the
oxygen to the body. Doing this for three or four days is a wonderful pre -elimination diet to fasting or to any other type of dieting. I
consider this to be the master -cleansing diet for all catarrhal conditions. In the prese nce of greens, we find that catarrh is
eliminated best from the body.

WATERMELON FLUSH
There are times during the watermelon season that we can use watermelon as a good elimination diet. Going on watermelon for
three, four or five days is a wonderful kidn ey eliminant, a diuretic. We find that it helps to take out a lot of the debris in the colon
and the extra water picks up toxic materials and carries them off.

ONE DAY A WEEK FAST
On a one day a week fast regime you can be on a juice diet or a fruit on th e one day – and rest. Many people like to go on a fast
one day a week. This is perfectly all right if you will rest that day - but you MUST rest! You cannot expect to get the good yielded
by a rest without food by using all of your energy and leaving yours elf depleted by working on a day that you do not eat.

FASTING
Fasting is the quickest way of bringing about elimination in the body and the fastest way of getting toxic materials out of t he body.
This is done through complete rest - physical, psychologica l and psychic. As we let the body rest, it develops tone and vitality,
more than is possible by any other procedure. I believe rest is a cure because it gives us the vitality we need to throw off toxic
material and to eliminate the debris that has been acc umulated over a period of years. We can literally withdraw toxic
accumulations through a fast. We find that there are many ways to fast. I think the better way is to take a half glass of wat er every
hour and a half throughout the day. If it is a hot day, y ou may need more water and it is all right since you perspire more. Be sure
not to take big gulps of water at one time. The water should be cool but not ice cold. Take daily enemas the first few days, then
reduce this to every other day or every third or f ourth day, depending upon the length of time you fast. While you are fasting you
should rest as much as possible. If you hike or walk, do it on level ground. Do nothing to the point of tiring. This is impor tant in
fasting.

JUICE FASTING
I don’t think it’s  any particular juice that will cure anything - but I believe the rest you give your body allows it the opportunity to
reverse the disease and recover your health. It’s the rest from food and the simple diet that does the trick. The lack of too  many
food m ixtures and less demand made on our digestive and eliminative systems help us to overcome disease. The carrot juice diet
involves taking one glass of carrot juice every three hours or more if you like. You can do this for ten days, twenty days or  even
longer. I had one man on carrot juice for a whole year. That is a long time! This particular man lived in Monrovia and had an
extreme condition of the bowel but through the carrot juice diet, he got rid of it. Dr. Kirschner, who wrote the book on juic e
therapy, came here to talk over this man’s case because he found out how I had kept him on juices for so long a time. The man
passed off mucus and catarrh continually from that bowel. It was almost unbelievable what was eliminated - being even black at
times. This was simply accumulated toxic material that was necessary for him to get rid of.

BREAKING A FAST
In breaking a fast, if you go five, six or seven days on water, then go one or two days on juices, either vegetable or fruit.  Take one
8-oz glass ever y three hours. You have eliminated the enemas one or two days I beforehand and you are starting in to work for
good bowel movements now. I After the two days of juices, start the first thing in the morning on the third day with sliced o r
peeled oranges. Th e bulk of an orange is probably one of the finest things for the bowel. If you do not want to use oranges, you can
use a finely shredded carrot that has been steamed or wilted for one minute. This acts to help clean out the toxic materials.  You can
do this  for breakfast and lunch. Then for the evening meal, you can start out with a small salad.
Have a glass of juice at 10:00 am and again at 3:00 pm.
The next day you can have fresh fruit for breakfast along with juice.
Have juice at 10:00 am.
For lunch, you can have a small salad and juice.
Have another glass of juice


. Her predominant motive in life is service. This selfless motive of service inspired her to take up a very hopeless case of muscular dystrophy. Her brother-in-law. Shri Jinendrakumar, fell victim to this disease. He remained imbecile for sometime and at last came to such a hopeless condition that doctors lost all hope for his life, and he was hardly to live a few days. In his condition, Kalavatiben took up his case and began Urine Therapy to cure him.  At that time, his limbs were benumbed, hands were shaking, and there was vomiting. He was quite lusterless, and he was reduced to a mere skeleton. The Urine Therapy was begun on March 17th, 1972 by Kalavatiben and her sister. They began rubbing 20 days' old urine for 5 hours till late in the night. A plethora of dirt began to be rubbed out as urine-massages went on. Massage treatment was carried out for 10 hours daily and 1 bottle was used for the purpose. In four days, there was seen some marked improvement, and so the patient agreed to drink his urine. He began drinking urine on March 20th, 1972. His rectum was cleared by urine enema. There was a cement-like excreta deposited in the rectum, so it was to be cleared by fingers in the beginning, and about one pound of excreta came out in this way. Enemas were given thereafter, and urine pads were placed on the stomach for one month. Light food was given in he beginning, and slowly, it's quantity was increased. In the first seven days, the patient's legs became free and he began to sit up in his bed. In 20 days, he began to stand, and in 1 month, he started walking with a stick. In four months, he was completely cured and began to go to his shop with a physique and health which he never enjoyed before. Can there be any better "instant cure" than this?”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY  Martha Pacheco { Olando, { Florida USA } "My name is Martha Pachecho and my testimony is about of my son that was born with Muscular Dystrophy.

    The first vital concern is the duration of the fast. Two eliminatory processes go on simultaneously wh ile fasting. One is the
dissolving and elimination of the excess, toxic or dysfunctional deposits in the body, and second process, the gradual exhaus tion of
the body’s stored nutritional reserves. The fasting body first consumes those parts of the body tha t are unhealthy; eventually these
are all gone. Simultaneously the body uses up stored fat and other reserve nutritional elements. A well -fed reasonably healthy body
usually has enough stored nutrition to fast for quite a bit longer than it takes to "clean  house."
    While house cleaning is going on the body uses its reserves to rebuild organs and rejuvenate itself. Rebuilding starts out ve ry
slowly but the repairs increase at an ever -accelerating rate. The "overhaul" can last only until the body has no m ore reserves.
Because several weeks of fasting must pass by before the "overhaul" gets going full speed, it is wise to continue fasting as long as
possible so as to benefit from as much rejuvenation as possible.
    It is best not to end the fast before al l toxic or dysfunctional deposits are eliminated, or before the infection is overcome, or
before the cause for complaint has been healed. The fast must be ended when most of the body"s essential -to-life stored nutritional
reserves are exhausted. If the fas t goes beyond this point, starvation begins. Then, fasting -induced organic damage can occur, and
death can follow, usually several weeks later. Almost anyone not immediately close to death has enough stored nutrition to wa ter
fast for ten days to two weeks. Most reasonably healthy people have sufficient reserves to water fast for a month. Later I will
explain how a faster can somewhat resupply their nutritional reserves while continuing to fast, and thus safely extend the fa sting
period.
    The second esse ntial concern has to do with adjusting the intensity of the fast. Some individuals are so toxic that the waste
products released during a fast are too strong, too concentrated or too poisonous for the organs of elimination to handle saf ely, or
to be handle d within the willingness of the faster to tolerate the discomforts that toxic releases generate. The highly -toxic faster
may even experience life -threatening symptoms such as violent asthma attacks. This kind of faster has almost certainly been
dangerously  ill before the fast began. Others, though not dangerously sick prior to fasting, may be nearly as toxic and though not in
danger of death, they may not be willing to tolerate the degree of discomfort fasting can trigger. For this reason I recommen d that
if at all possible, before undertaking a fast the person eat mostly raw foods for two months and clean up all addictions. This  will
give the body a chance to detoxify significantly before the water fast is started, and will make water fasting much more
comf ortable. Seriously, dangerously ill people should only fast with experienced guidance, so the rapidity of their detoxificatio n
process may be adjusted to a lower level if necessary.
    A fast of only one week can accomplish a significant amount of healing. Slight healing does occur on shorter fasts, but it is
much more difficult to see or feel the results. Many people experience rapid relief from acute headache pain or digestive dis tress
such as gas attacks, mild gallbladder pain, stomach aches, etc., afte r only one day"s abstention from food. In one week of fasting a
person can relieve more dangerous conditions such as arthritic pain, rheumatism, kidney pain, and many symptoms associated wi th
allergic reactions,. But even more fasting time is generally nee ded for the body to completely heal serious diseases. That"s because
eliminating life -threatening problems usually involve rebuilding organs that aren"t functioning too well. Major rebuilding begins
only after major detoxification has been accomplished, an d this takes time.
    Yes, even lost organ function can be partially or completely restored by fasting. Aging and age -related degeneration is
progressive, diminishing organ functioning. Organs that make digestive enzymes secrete less enzymes. The degenera ted immune
system loses the ability to mobilize as effectively when the body is attacked. Liver and kidney efficiency declines. The adre nals
tire, becoming incapable of dumping massive amounts of stress -handling hormones or of repeating that effort time af ter time
without considerable rest in between. The consequences of these inter -dependent deterioration"s is a cascade of deterioration that
contributes to even more rapid deterioration"s. The name for this cascading process is aging. Its inevitable result –death.
    Fasting can, to a degree, reverse aging. Because fasting improves organ functioning, it can slow down aging.
    Fasters are often surprised that intensified healing can be uncomfortable. They have been programmed by our culture and by
allopathic doctors to think that if they are doing the right thing for their bodies they should feel better immediately. I wi sh it
weren"t so, but most people have to pay the piper for their dietary indiscretions and other errors in living. There will be a ches and
minor pains and uncomfortable sensations. More about that later. A rare faster does feel immediately better, and continu es to feel
ever better by the day, and even has incredible energy while eating nothing, but the majority of us folks just have to tough it out,
keeping in mind that the way out is the way through. It is important to remind yourself at times that even with some discomfort
and considering the inconvenience of fasting that you are getting off easy –one month of self -denial pays for those years of
indulgence and buys a regenerated body.

Length Of The Fast
    How long should a person fast? In cases where there are serious complaints to remedy but where there are no life threatening
disease conditions, a good rule of thumb is to fast on water for one complete day (24 hours) for each year that the person ha s lived.
If you are 30 years old, it will take 30 consecut ive days of fasting to restore complete health. However, thirty fasting days, done a
few days here and a few there won"t equal a month of steady fasting; the body accomplishes enormously more in 7 or l4 days of
consecutive fasting, than 7 or 14 days of fas ting accumulated sporadically, such as one day a week. This is not to say that regular
short fasts are not useful medicine. Periodic day -long fasts have been incorporated into many religious traditions, and for good
reason; it gives the body one day a week  to rest, to be free of digestive obligations, and to catch up on garbage disposal. I heartily
recommend it. But it takes many years of unfailingly regular brief fasting to equal the benefits of one, intensive experience.
    Fasting on water much longer than fifteen consecutive days may be dangerous for the very sick, (unless under experienced
supervision) or too intense for those who are not motivated by severe illness to withstand the discomfort and boredom. Howeve r, it
is possible to finish a healing p rocess initiated by one long water fast by repeating the fast later. My husband"s healing is a good
example of this. His health began to noticeably decline about age 38 and he started fasting. He fasted on water 14 to 18 days  at a
time, once a year, for fi ve consecutive years before most of his complaints and problems entirely vanished.
    The longest fast I ever supervised was a 90 day water fast on an extraordinarily obese woman, who at 5" 2" weighed close to
400 pounds. She was a Mormon; generally membe rs of the LDS Church eat a healthier diet than most Americans, but her"s
included far too much of what I call "healthfood junkfood," in the form of whole grain cakes and cookies, lots of granola mad e
with lots of honey, oil, and dried fruit, lots of honey heaped atop heavily buttered whole grain bread. (I will explain more about the
trap of healthfood junkfood later on.) A whole foods relatively meatless diet is far superior to its refined white flour, whi te sugar
and white grease (lard) counterpart, but it  still produced a serious heath problem in just 30 years of life. Like many women, she
expressed love -for-family in the kitchen by serving too -much too -tasty food. The Mormons have a very strong family orientation
and this lady was no exception, but she wa s insecure and unhappy in her marriage and sought consolation in food, eaten far in
excess of what her body needed.
    On her 90 day water fast she lost about 150 pounds, but was still grossly overweight when the fast ended. Toward the end it
became clea r that it was unrealistic to try to shrink this woman any closer to normal body weight because to her, fat represented an
invaluable insulation or buffer that she was not prepared to give up. As the weight melted away on the fast and she was able to
actual ly feel the outline of a hip bone her neurosis became more and more apparent, and the ability to feel a part of her skeleton
was so upsetting to her that her choice was between life threatening obesity and pervasive anxiety.
    Her weight was still exces sive but the solace of eating was even more important. This woman needed intensive counseling not
more fasting. Unfortunately, at the end she choose to remain obese. Fat was much less frightening to her than confronting her
emotions and fears. The positive  side was that after the fast she


 happening. Whenever we had doubts, we
kept remembering that Dr. Kelley had this and he knows what to do. This was our
confidence.
I  bought a juicer and made carrot and celery juice several times a day. That took a
lot of time. Preparing all of the fresh vegetables takes time. But, I  had my own garden
for years so I  knew how much work it is to raise and prepare vegetables for the table.
Now we were eating everything raw possible. Even my family cooperated.
Within two weeks, my digestive disturbances were better. At first I'd go out and
work awhile and come in to fix carrot juice and lay down to rest. Then get up and go
out again to finish the jobs. My family helped carry the water and feed for the
chickens, but I  still raised and dressed 150 chickens that first summer. In six weeks, I
felt really good. I  didn't have any of the things that Dr. Kelley had written in the book
that I  might have. My body responded quickly and I  began to regain my strength that I
hadn't had for months. I  Never Ate One Thing I  was not supposed to eat. I  took my
nutrition exactly as he told me. I  have always been a determined person. I  did
everything as near right as I  could or knew to do. This helped me in my diet. If I  had
even once eaten sweets or anything that was on the list of "no-no's," I  wouldn't have
been able to win the game. That's what you need — determination to follow the
rules.
In six months the lumps in my breasts were gone. I  felt much better than I  had before. I
had not had surgery and the awful ordeal of that, or intravenous feeding, and I  still had a
140
Winning The Cancer War
whole body. I  was telling everyone to eat right. But I  did not tell anyone (outside of my
family) that I  had cancer. People knew I  had been really sick, but not what was really
wrong with me. I  guess I  wanted to be sure myself that I  could do it before I  would tell
anyone you could lick cancer with proper lifestyle and nutrition. I  continued chiropractic
treatment for years, and still do. Mostly when I  talk to people about eating properly — not
eating food with preservatives, eating raw foods instead of cooked ones — they make light
of it and never really listen. Yet, many call me with all of their ills and ask me what they
should do. Some I  can advise and some don't believe what you say anyway.
Three years later in March, I  applied for another insurance policy with another
company. I  told him I  had been refused a policy because of the lumps in my breast. He
sent me for another health examination with another doctor. I  told this doctor also about
the lumps — that I  did not go to a doctor but I  started taking nutrition and eating raw foods,
etc. and the lumps went away. He couldn't find any lumps. They X-rayed my chest and
found nothing. Yet he would not believe the nutrition had anything to do with it. He told
me I  was in excellent health and I  got the insurance policy. It was a much larger policy
than the one I  had been refused because of the lumps in my breast.
In July after the X-rays, I  noticed the lumps in my breast again. I  had just read an article
in the paper that they were finding "hard evidence that X-rays are actually causing cancer."
On July 20, 1976, when I  discovered the lumps back again, I  immediately went back on
my original schedule and diet and within 6 months my lumps were gone again. My advice
to others would be — don't get X-rays taken. The radiation exposure is too dangerous.
After 5 years with Dr. Kelley, I  do not need tests as often as I  did. I  follow his diet list and
my own home grown foods when possible. I  continue to take all kinds of nutrition as he
recommends. I  am not as strict with my diet as I  was the first three years but when I  don't
eat right, or stop the nutrition, I  don't feel good and I  know what to do to get better again.
Dr. Kelley has answered personally all my letters to him about health problems that come
up. He takes my telephone calls when I  need to know something right away. Good health
is something you need to work at daily. Dr. Kelley's advice works. My illness has given my
husband and me a better, closer relationship than we have ever known. I  know Metabolic
Medicine works. It did for me.
Dr. Kelley: "It's hard to appreciate the sorts of obstacles patients had to overcome
to see me as a clinician. First of all, I  am not a medical doctor, I  am a dentist. Second,
my office was unbelievably unacceptable when compared to where a lot of these
people had gone — to the great clinics and hospitals of our world. They really had to
lower themselves to come into my meager surroundings. While adequately appointed
and kept immaculately clean by my receptionist, there certainly was no pretension in
any respect. On many occasions, people would drive up in their Cadillac or Rolls
Royce and drive away because they thought that they couldn't possibly find anything
141

of worth in such an unpretentious office."
Stomach Cancer Testimonial
Elizabeth W ojt
Mrs. Wojt is a 47-year old woman from New Jersey alive 10 years since her diagnosis of
stomach carcinoma. Before her bout with cancer, Mrs. Wojt had a long history of general
poor health and chronic digestive problems. In 1974, she first experienced episodes of
severe abdominal pain that usually occurred between meals, and were relieved by eating.
Over the following three years, her symptoms gradually worsened, although she was not
normally evaluated until spring of 1977. At that time, a barium swallow revealed a tumor,
described in an official report as "suspicious lesion in the fundus and cardiac of the
stomach."
Mrs. Wojt was referred to a gastroenterologist, who biopsied the suspect tissue during
endoscopy (examination of the stomach with a flexible tube inserted down the esophagus).
After review, the specimen was identified as a carcinoma. She was admitted to Patterson
General Hospital on April 17, the following day, she went to surgery (for a radical subtotal
gastrectomy, which is resection of most of the stomach). The tumor had already metastasized
into the surrounding tissues and lymph nodes; the final pathology report describes:
"Adenocarcinoma of the stomach with metastases to the gastrocolic nodes and omentum."
Mrs. Wojt was told she most likely would not live a year. Nevertheless, after leaving
Patterson hospital in late April, she was referred to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center in New York for possible experimental treatment. But Mrs. Wojt, who already knew
of Dr. Kelley's work, decided to refuse all orthodox therapy. Instead, that same month she
consulted Dr. Kelley and began the full Kelley program. Mrs. Wojt followed her nutritional
regimen for five years. At present, ten years after her diagnosis, she is in excellent health
apparently cured of her once metastatic disease. According to Mrs. Wojt, her doctors are
"dumbfounded" by her prolonged survival.
Mrs. Wojt is indeed a remarkable case. The five-year survival rate for patients with
metastatic stomach cancer is close to zero — even with aggressive therapy. Mrs. Wojt
received neither chemotherapy nor radiation after her surgery, and chose to follow only the
Kelley program.

Thomas M., Alexandria, LA
5-Year Victory Over Leukemia

Winning The Cancer War
At age 61, this lawyer, blessed with a lovely wife and eight children, was
diagnosed at Ochsner Clinic, New Orleans, as having acute myelogenous leukemia.
My friends at Ochsner Clinic opined that the condition was terminal and that I  had at
best a few months and at worst a few days to live.
Following three courses of Cytosar and Thiogunine at the Clinic (from October 7,
1977 through about mid-December 1977), I  fortunately had a remission. I  was to
continue with maintenance therapy, which the medics told me would, at best,
improve the quality of life. There was slim, if any, hope for recovery.
Dr. Kelley's book miraculously came to my wife's attention. We visited him in
Washington in December 1977. We were enthusiastic and got on the program and
experienced dramatic improvement. The idea that you treat the body, or host, and not
the symptoms was so intellectually stimulating and sensible, I  wondered why my
medical friends and my doctor son could not understand and why they discouraged
and belittled my efforts. I  very shortly resumed my practice, golf and a normal but
different lifestyle.
About midsummer of 1978, it became apparent that to continue the chemotherapy
would destroy any hope I  had of bodybuilding. These shots would


 may be things you’re afraid to do or things part
of you wants to do and part of you doesn’t. Remember, nothing is
black or white.
• You can feel comfortable with your self-delusional system. Lying
to yourself keeps you from having to admit that you are not a “doer”
in this particular present moment.
• You can stay exactly as you are forever, as long as you keep
putting it off. Thus you eliminate change and all the risks that go
with it.
• By being bored you have someone or something else to blame
for your unhappy state, thus you shift responsibility away from
yourself and onto the boring activity.
• By being a critic you can feel important at the expense of others.
It is a way of using others’ performance as stepping-stones for elev-
ating yourself in your own mind. More self-delusion.
• By waiting for things to get better you can blame the world for
your unhappiness—things just never seem to break for you. A great
strategy for doing nothing.
• You can avoid ever having to fail by avoiding all activities184 / Your Erroneous Zoneswhich involve some risk. In this way you never have to come face
to face with your self-doubt.
• Wishing for things to happen—Santa Claus fantasies—allow
you to return to a safe and protected childhood.
• You can win sympathy from others and feel sorry for yourself
for the anxiety that you live with as a result of not doing what you’d
like to have done.
• You are able to justify a sloppy or less than acceptable perform-
ance on anything if you put it off long enough, and then just allow
a minimal time segment for getting it done. “But I just didn’t have
time.”
• By putting it off, you might be able to get someone else to do it
for you. Thus, procrastination becomes a means of manipulating
others.
• Putting it off enables you to delude yourself into believing that
you are something other than what you really are.
• By avoiding a task you can escape success. If you don’t succeed
you avoid having to feel good about yourself and accepting all of
the continuing responsibility that goes with success.
Now that you have some insight into why you procrastinate, you
can begin to do something about eliminating this self-destructive
erroneous zone.
Some Techniques for Ousting This Postponing Behavior
• Make a decision to live five minutes at a time. Instead of thinking
of tasks in long-range terms, think about now and try to use up a
five-minute period doing what you want, refusing to put off anything
that would bring about satisfaction.
• Sit down and get started on something you’ve been postponing.
Begin a letter or a book. You’ll find that much of yourPUTTING AN END TO PROCRASTINATION—NOW  / 185putting it off is unnecessary since you’ll very likely find the job en-
joyable, once you give up the procrastination. Simply beginning will
help you to eliminate anxiety about the whole project.
• Ask yourself, “What is the worst thing that could happen to me
if I did what I’m putting off right now?” The answer is usually so
insignificant that it may jar you into action. Assess your fear and
you’ll have no reason to hang onto it.
• Give yourself a designated time slot (say Wednesday from 10:00
to 10:15 P.M.) which you will devote exclusively to the task you’ve
been putting off. You’ll discover that the fifteen minutes of devoted
effort are often sufficient to see you over the hump of procrastination.
• Think of yourself as too significant to live with anxiety about
the things you have to do. So, the next time you know you are un-
comfortable with postponement anxiety, remember that people who
love themselves don’t hurt themselves that way.
• Look carefully at your now. Decide what you are avoiding in
your current moments and begin to tackle the fear of living effect-
ively. Procrastination is substituting the now with anxiety about a
future event. If the event becomes the now, the anxiety, by definition,
must go.
• Quit smoking…now! Begin your diet…this moment! Give up
booze…this second. Put this book down and do one push-up as your
beginning exercise project. That’s how you tackle problems…with
action now! Do it! The only thing holding you back is you, and the
neurotic choices you’ve made because you don’t believe you’re as
strong as you really are. How simple…just do it!
• Start using your mind creatively in what were previously boring
circumstances. At a meeting, change the dull tempo with a pertinent
question, or make your mind go off in exciting ways such as writing
a poem, or memorizing twenty-five numbers backwards, just for
the sheer drill of memory training. Decide to never be bored again.186 / Your Erroneous Zones• When someone begins to criticize you, ask this question, “Do
you think I need a critic now?” Or when you find yourself being a
critic, ask the person in your company if he wants to hear your citi-
cism, and if so, why? This will help you to move from the critic to
the doer column.
• Look hard at your life. Are you doing what you’d choose to be
doing if you knew you had six months to live? If not, you’d better
begin doing it because, relatively speaking, that’s all you have.
Given the eternity of time, thirty years or six months make no differ-
ence. Your total lifetime is a mere speck. Delaying anything makes
no sense.
• Be courageous about undertaking an activity that you’ve been
avoiding. One act of courage can eliminate all that fear. Stop telling
yourself that you must perform well. Remind yourself that doing it
is far more important.
• Decide not to be tired until the moment before you get into bed.
Don’t allow yourself to use fatigue or illness as an escape or to put
off doing anything. You may find that when you take away the
reason for the illness or exhaustion—that is, avoidance of a
task—physical problems “magically” disappear.
• Eliminate the words “hope,” “wish” and “maybe” from your
vocabulary. They are the tools of putting it off. If you see these words
creeping in, substitute new sentences. Change
“I hope things will work out” to “I will make it happen.”
“I wish things were better” to “I am going to do the following
things to ensure that I feel better.”
“Maybe it will be okay” to “I will make it okay.”
• Keep a journal of your own complaining or critical behavior.
By writing these actions down, you’ll accomplish two things. You’ll
see how your critical behavior surfaces in your life—the frequency,
patterns, events and people that are related to your being a critic.
You’ll also stop yourself from criticizing because it will be such a
pain to have to write in the journal.
• If you are putting something off which involves others (a move,
a sex problem, a new job), have a conference with all in-PUTTING AN END TO PROCRASTINATION—NOW  / 187volved and ask their opinions. Be courageous about talking of your
own fears, and see if you are delaying for reasons that are only in
your head. By enlisting the aid of a confidant to help you with your
procrastination, you’ll have made it a joint effort. Soon you’ll dissip-
ate much of the anxiousness that goes along with procrastination
by sharing that as well.
• Write a contract with your loved ones in which you will deliver
the goods you want to but which you may have been postponing.
Have each party keep a copy of the contract, and build in penalties
for defaulting. Whether it’s a ball game, dinner-out, vacation, or
theater visit, you’ll find this strategy helpful and personally reward-
ing, since you’ll be participating in events that you also find enjoy-
able.
If you want the world to change, don’t complain about it. Do
something. Rather than using up your present moments with all
kinds of immobilizing anxiety over what you are putting off, take
charge of this nasty erroneous zone and live now! Be a doer, not a
wisher, hoper or critic.188 / Your Erroneous ZonesX
DECLARE YOUR
INDEPENDENCE
In any relationship in which two people become
one, the end result is two half people.
Leaving the psychological nest is one of life’s difficult chores. The
dependency viper intrudes in life in many, many ways, and routing
it entirely is made more difficult by the numerous people who benefit
from another’s psychological dependency. Psychological independ-
ence means total freedom from all obligatory relationships, and an
absence of other-directed behavior. It means being free from having
to do something you would not otherwise choose, were the relation-
ship not to exist. The nest-leaving business is especially difficult
because our society teaches us to fulfill certain expectations in special
relationships, which include parents, children, authority figures and
loved ones.
Leaving the nest means becoming your own person, living and
choosing the behaviors that you want. It does not mean
189breaking off in any sense of the word. If you enjoy your way of in-
teracting with anyone and it doesn’t interfere with your own goals,
then it is something you can cherish rather than change. Psycholo-
gical dependence, on the other hand, means that you are in relation-

Our blood is the life force of our existence.
The blood consists of red corpuscles {Hemoglobin carrying oxygen},

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

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

Deepak ChopraTM, M.D.
Y our per sonality is constantly changing, so if your personality i s you, which person
are you? Are you the angry person, the loving person, the fr ustrated person, the
irritated person, or the kind person? Y ou probably think you’re all of them, but you
can’ t be all of them because if y ou were, the angry person would never disappear; it
would a lways b e here. Or if the frustrated person were really you, when the
frustrated person  disappeared, a bit of you would disappear with  it. But that doesn’ t
happen, does it? Y ou’re here be fore the angry person appears, a nd you’re here after
the angr y person disappears. Y ou’re here before the frustrated person appears, andyou’re here after they disappe ar. Clearly you are not your changing moods or
personality.
“Personality is a useful tool, but it cannot define who you are. Who you are lies far
beyond who you think you are.”
Jac O’Keeffe
“The big gest obstacle to discovering the truth of who we essentially are is the belief
that I am a cluster of thoughts, memories, feelings and sensations. T ogether these
form an illusory self or entity. T he belief th at I am this entity is the only obstacle.
All our psychological problems are due to this imaginary self. It always comes down
to mistaking ourselves for this.”
Rupert Spira, fr om a public talk
“The pe rson onl y seems to exis t because of the persistent and unquestioned belief
that there is an actual ‘person’ here. But the person, or ego, can’ t exist without the
belief in it. It’ s only imagination. In truth, there’ s no person at a ll. The only resident
of this house of the body is the p ure Self, which is what you are. The rest is all made
up. There are not two tenants in this body, there’ s only ever been one. Belief in ego
gives a sense of reality, but this is not a fact, only a fiction.”
Mooji
What’ s the problem with believing we’re an ego or a person?
W e f eel small and extremely vulnerable. W e’re afraid of bad things happening to us.
W e’re afraid of illness, getting old, and dying. W e’re afraid of losing the things we
have, and not getting the things we want. W e live in a state of lack, believing there’ s
“not eno ugh”: n ot enough money, not enough time, not enough  ener gy, not enough
love, health, or happiness, and not enough life. And even wors e, we believe we’r e
not enough. None of this is true—in fact, it is the very opposite of the truth—but we
can neve r have true lasting happiness while we hold on to the belief that we’re only
a person.
“The tragedy and comedy of the human condition is that we spend most of our lives
thinking, feeling, acting, perceiving and relating on behalf of an illusory self.”

“The ego isn’ t who you are. But it makes so much racket you can’ t hear who you

Mooji
Y ou are most certainly experiencing  a  body, experiencing  a mind, and having the

But there is a r eal  you.“Why is  it so h ard to see thro ugh the ego, to let it go—to stop believing in the

reality that really is real, that can be counted on for sustenance, for perfect
peacefulness? W hy deny ourselves this, for the sake of something so paltry by

Big Pr etenders
Y our thoughts, feelings, sensa tions, and beliefs seamlessly work together to
convince you you’re a person. W e’re all big pretenders. W e’re pretending we’re very
small. W e’re pretending we’re very limited. W e’re pretending we’re a small, limited
person w ho is born, lives for a time, dies, and that’ s the end of us. But nothing could
be further from the truth!
“W e are self-obsessed with an imaginary character that doesn’ t exist.”
Shakti Caterina Maggi
W e coul d say that this imagina ry character is exactly like a movie character. W e
know th e actor playing the char acter exists, but does the movie  character know that
the actor exists? No, the movie character is imaginary.
W e cem ent our belief that we’re a person with every thought. If you check on any
thought, you’ll find that there’ s  a “me” at the center of every one of them. Those
thoughts centered around the “me” you believe yourself to be af firm over and over
again that you’re a little, limited person.
When yo u belie ve the voice in your head is who you are, you a utomatically believe
everything it says; you believe all the thoughts that your mind generates.
Thoughts like:
“I’m getting old.”
“I’m too tired.”“I’m not good enough.”
“I can’ t do it.”
“I don’ t have enough time.”
“I’m not as healthy as I used to be.”
“I don’ t have enough money.”
“I’m not smart enough.”
“My eyesight is not as good as it used to be.”
“I don’ t feel loved.”
“He or she doesn’ t approve of me.”
“I don’ t deserve it.”
“I’m scared of dying.”
“I don’ t know what to do.”
These th oughts are all limitations, imposed on you by your mind. Who you really
are is un limited, which means absolutely nothing has power over you!
My teacher says that we’re prac ticing being small through constant limited thoughts
(like the  ones I just listed), and  if we were not prac ticing being a small, limited
person, we would see the truth of who we really are.
Everything about a “person” is the very opposite of who you really are. The person
is imperfect. The real you is per fect. The person is temporary and limited. The real
you is permanent and unlimited. The person is born and dies. T he real you is never
born and  never dies. The person  is personal and unstable. The real you is impersonal
and always stable. The person has changing moods. The real you is constant
happiness and peace. The perso n is full of judgments and opinions. The real you is
allowing and accepting of every thing. The person gets sick an d becomes old. The
real you is not subject to aging, and sickness can never touch you. The person
suf fers. The real you is free of all pain and suf fering. The person dies. The real you
exists for all eternity.
T rading Unhappiness for T ruth
There’ s only one way to have a blissful life with lasting happiness, and that is to
know your true nature. There’ s only one way out of a life plagued with problems,
negativity, and discord, and that is to know the truth of who you really are.
“The real you is  infinitely grand and glorious, whole, perfect, and in total peace, and
you are blinding yourself to this by assuming that you are a limited ego. Drop the
blinder, the ego, and be forever in perfect peace and joy. Wh en you have found
yourself—you will have everything.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
“Life is not about solving lots of little problems because they will never end. Life
points us to the one essential thing that has been overlooked —our own true and
unchanging self. Mankind as a whole is living lar gely in the m istaken idea  that we
are fundamentally a person with a body as opposed to our true Self.”
Mooji“There may be tragedy in the ‘story’ of our lives, but in truth, there is no tragedy
happening to us. Ultimately, the  story is only there to teach us this distinction. The
moment we take the lesson even the story changes to reveal itself as beauty, love,
and intelligence. Do not be attached to the concept that misery is unavoidable. As
