 never
die—only your bodies die. You, as soul, live forever. This physical world is
one of the hardest of God’s worlds to function and live in. If it is your time, it
can be experienced as a blessing and a great joy to move on to the next
world. When I have journeyed out of my physical body I have found nothing
but joy, awareness, ecstasy and pure love.
Always fill yourself full of love and God. If everyone did this at all times,
this world would be a much different place. Live in every moment for the
moment and forget the past. Live in the “Now” and the future never comes.
Learn to enjoy every moment, regardless of what medical condition you have
or how chronic and hopeless it seems. Make your life what you want it to be.
If you want your body to be healthy, then so be it – make it healthy. It is up
to you, and you alone, to make it healthy. You choose.

Open the doors of exploration and allow yourself to grow and expand.
This will remove the stress out of all your bodies and will allow healing to
take place. True healing is integrated; treatment is specific, separate. Healing
is expansive; treatment is constricted or limited. See everything and everyone
as God’s expression and give divine love to all. When you experience the
beauty of total love and God, then true vitality will be yours. Keep your heart
opened at all times.Learn to step back from thought and emotions and observe. “Be” your
true self. This is what true prayer and meditation is all about—separating
yourself from your bodies so you can have true communion with God. Clean
and strengthen yourself in every way.
May the blessings be!appendixesAPPENDIX A
Basal Temperature Study for Thyroid Function

The basal temperature test is quite accurate when the temperature is tested in
the axilla (armpit) each morning for a period of four days. If the temperature
is consistently low, then there is a hypo- or under-functioning of the thyroid
gland in spite of what any other laboratory analyses indicate.
How to Take Your Own Basal Temperatures
At night, before retiring, shake down a thermometer and lay it beside your
bed, on your night table, or chair. BE SURE IT IS SHAKEN DOWN.
Next morning, on awakening, don’t get up or move around. Place the
thermometer under your armpit pressing your arm against your bare body.
Relax and LEAVE THE THERMOMETER THERE FOR TEN MINUTES
BY THE CLOCK. Take it out, read it, and write down your results.
This record of your early morning basal temperature is a great aid in
determining hypothyroidism. The most important issues of hypothyroidism
are metabolism and calcium utilization.
Normal reading is between 97.8° to 98.2°

When your basal temperature is below 97.8, this shows varying degrees
of hypothyroidism. When your temperature is above 98.2, this may indicate
hyperthyroidism.
Basal temperatures between 97.0 and 97.8 are much easier to cure than
temperatures in the 96s or 95s. These temperatures are chronically low,
requiring much more aggressive detoxification and herbal therapy. Raw
thyroid glandulars and organic iodine may be needed with low basal
temperatures. Most underactive thyroid conditions are congestive in nature,
coming from mucus, acids, and foreign proteins that literally clog the tissues
of the thyroid. Hyperthyroidism, especially, is also a congested condition.
Detoxification is the main key to eliminating these thyroid conditions.
Today, many people have genetically weak thyroids. The answer is
always the same: detoxify and strengthen these tissues and the body. Give it
time. It could take you a year or more to change these chronic levels.Date____________Temperature___________

The Family of the Natural Sciences

God offers a wide range of natural healing modalities, some of which have
not yet been discovered. The beauty of natural therapies is how they make
you feel. Some can be painful at first, as they dig deep into your tissues to
release toxins. Others are soft and gentle, enhancing your energy flow and
elevating your consciousness. Natural therapies affect not only the physical
body, but also your mental and emotional bodies.
Curing the cause is much different from simply treating the symptom.
Nature’s healing therapies can basically be divided into two categories:
treatment systems or detoxification systems. Some treatment systems, like
massage, actually promote detoxification. Both treatment and detoxification
systems are needed in today’s world because of the depth of our tissue
weakness and toxicity However, I personally prefer the detoxification
modalities because the results will be permanent. Vitality and the restoration
of weakened or degenerative tissue to vibrancy should be your goals. Have
fun using nature’s therapies as you clean and reshape your physical and
spiritual bodies.
ACUPUNCTURE & ACUPRESSURE

Acupuncture and Acupressure are systems that use either needles or pressure
to move stagnant energy, especially through areas of weakness or congestion.
The body naturally focuses its energy where irritation or congestion
exists. This can cause pain and discomfort. By moving stagnant energy, we
increase circulation (blood and lymph flow) through these areas as well. This
increases the immune, nutritional, antioxidant and electrolyte responses, and
helps to remove the inflammation and toxicity in these stagnant areas.
Acupuncture and Acupressure have helped millions of people to enjoy a
higher quality of life. Detoxification mixed with either of these two arts
makes an unbeatable pair.
BIOELECTROMAGNETICS
Emerging out of the current spiritual renaissance is the science of
Bioelectromagnetics or Energy Medicine. This science is closely related to
quantum physics and encompasses electricity and electromagnetic energies
and their effects on your cells, tissues, organs and glands. The study of
electrical currents will always lead you to God and God’s creations because
we are simply talking about energy.
All matter is condensed energy. Without energy nothing exists, including
consciousness. Consciousness is pure energy in its most static yet active form.
This is another paradox. That is to say, God, the creator, is pure energy
without limit, while its creation is this pure energy condensed and confined
into forms. As pure energy moves out into creation, it creates electrical
currents. The energy that these electrical currents give off is called
electromagnetic energy.
Every single atom gives off electromagnetic energy from its movement.
When it “clusters” with other atoms, thus creating compounds and structures,
these energies combine, giving off a rainbow of hues. The true beauty of
creation is its unlimited rainbow of colors emanating from its expressions.
This energy flows from
your consciousness, or soul, down through the
mental worlds of your mind, into the emotional worlds (the astral level), and
into this physical world. This electromagnetic energy gives off many different
colors depending upon the frequencies or types of structure that soul takes on
—be it animal, human, flower, or mineral. One’s awareness and lifestyle
affects and defines the way this energy is experienced, since all life in
creation is defined energy. The state or level of consciousness or individual
expression (whether human, flower, animal, etc.) determines the level and
color of energy involved. When there are obstructions to this energy flow,
there is dis-ease.
Creation is energy in movement. One must consume and live with
energies that are in harmony with one’s level of awareness. These energies
are contained in foods, thoughts, emotions, external influences, etc. One’s
level of awareness can change as one grows spiritually. Any discord in these
energies and dis-ease begins to settle in. When an element or form of energy
is internal to your physical body, it is called an “endogenous field of energy.”
When it’s external to your physical body, it is called an “exogenous field of
energy.”
There are, of course, endless bands and frequencies of energies. There
are simple, low-frequency bands of DC currents; mid-level currents of radio,microwave, radar and infrared currents; and high-level X-rays and gamma
rays.
In
Chapter 4
, dealing with alkaline (cationic) and acid (anionic), we
discussed ionization. Simply put, ionization is the breaking down of
structures into other structures. Ionization is vital to life, as life is ever
changing. This includes everything from our awareness, to our structure, to
the world we live in. Creation is in a constant state of flux or change; ever
growing and expanding.
Electro-pollution is a word given to the toxic effects of electrical currents
and their electromagnetic energies that damage tissue. X-rays and gamma
rays are strong ionizers that can destroy biological tissue. Ultraviolet and
some of the visible light bands are somewhat ionizing. Even though your
radio, microwave, radar and infrared bands are considered non-ionizing, it is
my opinion that these bands can affect brain and nerve tissue


 outer
activity.  When  you  begin  to see—shall  We  call  it, the Nat-
ural Harmonizing  Activity  of your  world  of action,  all that
goes  forth  is a Radiation  from  your  Presence;  amplified
many  times  by the Ascended  Ones  and  producing  this  con-
dition  of Harmony  which  is required  first;  because  without
it Beloved  Ones,  you  cannot  have  the Full  Blessing  and
Benefit  which  is being  released.
One thing  may  explain  to some  of you  the Inner  Activi-
ties. As you  are calling  forth  This  Great  Light,  This  Great
Substance,  Intelligence  or Energy;  It is Light-Substance
which  you  are really  calling  forth!  It comes  into  your  world
of action,  It brings  a release  into  your  world,  which  the hu-
man  cannot  possibly  comprehend  at this  time.  As you  be-
come  more  acquainted  with  the Presence,  know  that  to still
yourself,  is the means  of letting  Its Power  come  forth.  Then
Its very  Vibratory  Action,  as It flows  out into  your  world,
will quiet  and  harmonize  your  Entire  Being  still  more.
(At this  point  many  came  into  the room)
Wait  just  a few  moments,  until  the  movement  in the
room  is stilled.  I cannot  give  you  the Release  which  I wish
to give,  until  it is quieted  down.  (Pause)
BELOVED  ONES,  IN ORDER  TO  DO  THE  WORK DISCOURSE  XVIII  253
WHICH  WE  DESIRE,  IT IS IMPERATIVE  TO  HAVE
NO ONE  MOVE  ABOUT  IN THE  ROOM;  FOR  IT
CONSTANTLY  CHANGES  THE  CURRENT  OF EN-
ERGY  AND  THE  BLESSING  WITH  WHICH  WE
WISH  TO  HELP  YOU.  IT IS NOT  EASY  FOR  THE
OUTER  TO  UNDERSTAND,  but,  We  must  HAVE
IT; IF WE  ARE  TO  GIVE  THE  BLESSING  WE  IN-
TEND.  So I thank  you  very  kindly  for that  quiet  now.
Your  Life  Stream,  as you  call forth  This  Greater  Release
of the Energy  required  to cleanse,  purify  and  harmonize
your  world,  is the One  Great  Substance,  which  is Light!
We are endeavoring  so earnestly  to have  all realize,  in your
Call for This  Light,  which  is released  from  your  Presence
or from  the  Ascended  Masters,  is the Activity  required!
Of course  It is always  first  from  your  Presence,  then  ampli-
fied by the Ascended  Masters;  but That  Substance  of Light
is One  and  the same.  The  Ascended  Masters,  as They  stand
in Their  Purity  and  Perfection  today,  are One  with  the
Purity  and  Perfection  of the "I AM  Presence,"  of you  who
are yet unascended.
Notice  why  the Assistance  of the Ascended  Master  is so
important  at this time.  Do not misunderstand  Me.  All from
the Ascended  Masters'  Octave,  is of course  Perfection;  but
in order  to try to convey  to you  these  Octaves  or steps,  the
Ascended  Masters',  is the first  step  beyond  the human.  Our
Ascended  Master  Octave  is Wholly  Perfect.  To help  give
you the idea,  We  would  place  the Legion  of Light  next.
Then  would  come  the Cosmic  Beings—if  you  wish  to look 254 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
at This  Activity  as steps.  This  is why,  mankind  has  not
understood  the  need  of the  Assistance  of the  Ascended
Masters.  They  are the Consciousness,  the feeling  all man-
kind  requires  today,  in Its Perfecting  Activity.
Without  the Assistance  of the Ascended  Masters,  Beloved
Ones,  I tell you  frankly  there  would  not be three  percent
of the people  today,  who  would  have  the strength  to stand
up under  their  own  creations;  and  that  of the mass  of man-
kind  to Free  themselves!  Therefore,  they  must  have  more
than  their  own  assistance.  That  is why  Beloved  Saint  Ger-
main  brought  forth  This  Amazing  Understanding  of the
Law  of your  own  Life.
Will  you  understand  today,  that  We as Ascended  Beings
or Cosmic  Beings,  are just  your  own  Life  more  advanced;
Higher  in Its rate  of Vibratory  Action,  than  you  experience
here  in the  physical  octave?  Notice  the  Chart.  It is the
Stream  of Life  and  Energy  anchored  within  your  physical
Heart  which  gives  you  Life.  That  Life  is the One  Life  of
the Whole  Universe!
For your  Greater  Understanding,  your  "Mighty  I AM
Presence,"  which  is the Individualized  Presence  of Life,  is
the Image  and  Likeness  of God,  as you  previously  under-
stood.  It is the Focus  of your  Individual  Activity.  It has been
necessary  for mankind  to understand  the Individual  Focus
is there  above  everyone;  and  will  be sustained  in any  activ-
ity, upon  which  the  attention  might  be focused.  WITH-
OUT  IT NO  ONE—NOT  EVEN  YOU  IN  YOUR
OWN  LIVES,  HAVE  BEEN  ABLE  TO  SUSTAIN DISCOURSE  XVIII  255
A CONSTRUCTIVE  ACTIVITY  CONTINUOUSLY.
Constant  change  of attention  causes  the change  of the Cur-
rents  of Energy.  You  wonder  why  sometimes,  things  move
rapidly  and  then  a lull occurs  in the activity  in your  own
Life.  Simply,  because  you  have  not  known  your  "I AM
Presence."  Now  that  you  do know  It and  you  will  call  to
have  all your  Application  sustained,  you  will  find  a steady
Advancement;  a steady  climbing  and  in many  instances,
just as though  you  were  climbing  a steep  mountain.  It is a
very  good  simile  of what  is actually  taking  place  in the vi-
bratory  action  of your  world;  as you  turn  your  attention
and hold  it upon  your  Presence.  ONLY  AS YOU  TURN
YOUR  ATTENTION  TO  YOUR  PRESENCE  CAN
YOU  RISE  ABOVE  DISCORD!
I now  convey  to you,  the importance  of concentration!
I mean  by that,  the holding  of your  attention  upon  the goal
which  you  wish  to attain.  If it be in the business  world,  your
attention  held  definitely  upon  the goal,  releases  the Power
and Energy  in your  own  Life.  It is the only  thing  that  can
act for you.  Another's  Life  Stream  cannot  enter  into  yours,
only  by the Power  of Radiation  to give  temporary  assist-
ance.  Therefore,  as your  own  attention  is held  upon  the
goal,  your  Power  of Light  from  your  Presence,  is feeding
into it. The  more  intensified  your  feeling  and  determina-
tion,  the greater  is the Release  of the Power,  to produce
Perfection  in the achievement  you  require.
This  is the  Power  of Concentration  and  the  ONLY
MEANS  by which  it can be sustained.  Whether  it be your 256 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Freedom,  your  Ascension  or your  business  activity,  mat-
ters not,  the same  Law  is acting.  So many  are calling  for

SMOKERS PLEASE QUIT!  In just 12 hours of not smoking, the
blood levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide fall; heart and lungsbegin healing. Smokers must stop this vicious and deadly de stroyer
of life, health, energy and beauty. Let’s ban smoking  worldwide.✞Tobacco use and secondhand smoke will eventually
kill just over  5 of all people now living in the developed
world – over 250 million ( also marijuana smoke is deadly ).
✞Of the  50 million smoking Americans,  3 to 2 will die
from smoke-related disease, and reduce their life
expectancy by  an average of  9 years.
✞Cancers, as well as cataracts, are linked to smoking.
✞Children and teenagers make up  90% of new smokers
in the U. S. – and teenage smoking is on the rise.
✞Smoking acts as both a stimulant and a depressant -
depending upon the smoker’s emotional state.
✞The average pack-a-day smoker takes about  70,000
poisonous hits  of nicotine each year.
✞“Secondhand smoke” can kill nonsmokers: it speeds
up heart rate, raises blood pressure and doubles the
carbon monoxide in their blood.
✞Secondary smoke contains more nicotine, tar andcadmium (leading to hypertension, bronchitis and
emphysema) than mainstream smoke.
✞The children of smokers tend to have lower bodyweight, smaller lungs and more health problems.
✞Lung illnesses such as asthma are tw ice as common in
the children of sm okers. Shame on their parents.
✞The death rate from breast cancer ranges from  25% to
75% higher for women who smoke.
✞Female smokers may face a higher risk of lung cancer  –
as much as twice the risk of male smokers, according
to a study done by Dr. Harvey Risch at Yale University.
✞Your body contains almost  100,000  miles of blood
vessels. Smoking constricts those vessels, depriving
your body of fresh, rich oxygen it needs for life.DEADLY SMOKING FACTS!113Fasting Melts Away Pounds!
It’s estimated that  75% of men, women and children
in America are overweight. These overweight people arein serious physical health trouble according to medicalauthorities and insurance companies. Excess weightpresents great hazards to health and long life! These sameauthorities tell us that the overweight person is moresusceptible to chronic and even fatal diseases than anormal weight person. An overweight person can’t beginto know the thrill of wellness. First, they are constantlytired because they are carrying far too many pounds.Let’s say a person is
 25 pounds overweight. Now, let a
normal weight person carry a  25 pound suitcase around
all day. In a short time every move would become painfuland fatiguing. You can plainly see millions of overweightpeople are grossly overburdening their bodies and lives!
The obese person typically has no energy or ambition
to indulge in physical activities. Most of them wouldrather find the closest chair and sit in it until they areforced to do some important duty. The overweightperson has trouble breathing because their excess fleshmakes it difficult for their lungs to do their jobs properly.
We find most obese get out of breath with least exertion.
The overweight person’s body has over
 700 miles
(unbelievable, but true) of fine tubes – blood vessels – totry and nourish and sustain all the excess fat! You canplainly see why the overweight person is putting atremendous burden on the lungs and the normalfunction of their heart. Their pulse and blood pressurerise to dangerous heights, which could in themselves
cause serious damage, heart attacks, strokes and death.
Every man is the builder of a temple called his body... We are
all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and bloodand bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’sfeatures, any meanness to imbrute them. – Henry David Thoreau
Studies show the bigger the waistline – the shorter the lifespan.Chapter 1 4114Excess Fat is a Burden and Health Risk!
Insurance figures accurately show that overweight
people are short-lived and are more susceptible to many
chronic diseases because of their unnatural overweight
condition. Any way you look at it, excess weight isdangerous! Today, obesity is steadily on the increase
worldwide. First, in America we have an abundance of food
and fast food restaurants. The average person puts waytoo much food into their stomach for the sheer joy of
eating. Eating is America’s most popular indoor and
outdoor sport!  At family gatherings and parties the
tendency is to serve too much food and everyone overeats.
Coffee breaks encourage people to snack between
meals. TV invites people to snack as they gaze at theidiot box that promotes crime and evilness. Plus people
are constantly eating sweets, ice cream, shakes, hot dogs,
hamburgers, french fries, pizza and many other varietiesof food even between meals. Then there are the buffets,
banquets, benefit dinners, etc. that promote overeating.
We live in a mechanical age. We load heavy amounts of
food into our bodies and never burn it up with exercise andphysical activities. The automobile has replaced walking.
We are a nation of sitters. Our children sit for hours in school
and then in fr ont of TV, computers and the web. Also a dults
spend hours at computers, TVs, plus they also attend
movies, concerts and athletic events. This unhealthy,
sedentary lifestyle contributes to being overweight.
Fad Diets Create “Yo Yo” Up & Down Weight
Overweight people are constantly going on crash diets
and most get only brief results. There is the high-proteindiet, the low-carbohydrate diet, the liquid diet, the cottage
cheese diet, etc., etc. and so many other varieties. Magazines
and newspapers are always pushing some new crash diet
to take weight off the obese person. There are so manyreducing diets that it’s frustrating and confusing for peopleto know which one to follow. In my opinion, the fast is
It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges.
– Mohammad Ali, who ordered 100 Fasting Books  at a time to give to friends.
Fasting and the Bragg Vinegar Drink (page 230) helps normalize weight.115the only natural and scientific way to achieve reasonable
weight reduction. This is why I believe fasting is the perfect
way to reduce. After the first 2 or 3 days of fasting you areno longer hungry. From the 3rd day on there is no cravingfor food. When people go on crash low calorie diets, theyare hungry most of the time and long for heavy meals. Butafter you fast for 2 or 3 days, all hunger fades away, thestomach shrinks and it actually becomes a pleasantexperience. You start to breathe easier, feel lighter, move
easier, think clearer and miracles start happening.
Fasting Rewards You With Increased Energy
I have seen many overweight people lose  7 to 20
pounds and more the first  7 to 10 days of fasting. After
the loss of this excess weight, there is a special inner feelingof well-being and increased physical and mental energy!Of course, every human is different. Some people onlylose
1 or 2 pounds a day on a fast while some will lose as
many as  5 pounds and more. The nice thing about fasting
to reduce is that the pounds disappear where the fat isdeposited. If the weight has concentrated on the abdomenand hips, that is where the fat will shrink. Many timesthe people who go on a low calorie diet end up feelingmiserable while they are dieting. They become haggardand old-looking and their eyes will lose their sparkle. It isjust the reverse when you fast. The fat deposits dissolvefirst and – as the body is relieved of this tremendousburden of fat and toxins – the heart, pulse, blood pressure
and general health regulate themselves.
So, if you have a weight problem, use this Fasting
Program. You can start with a weekly
 24 hour fast. I often
supervise weight reduction programs, where I direct
people on several  36 hour fasts in a week. In other words,
they will eat 1 day, then fast a day or fast every third
day. If the person doesn’t overload himself on the days
he eats, the  36 hour fast several times a week helps him
maintain the weight loss. Fasting for weight reduction
does get results. Your body slims and trims itself back to
its healthy, youthful lines again.
For slimming down and when not fasting take two Chromium Picolinate
tablets on an empty stomach, in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon, thisalso helps in sugar metabolism and does minimize sugar cravings.116Your Waistline is Your Lifeline & Dateline!
I have had years of experience in fasting many of
our greatest film and television Stars in Hollywood,
California. The movie camera always makes a person
look  10 pounds heavier than they really are, so you can
see that a Star must always have slim, trim lines!
I recall a well-known female movie  Star who became
a compulsive


 of being. This cannot be
accomplished without fully taking responsibility for the negativity
in you.
The reluctance to be truthful with oneself applies to even the most
honest people. A person may be noted for his or her honesty and
integrity on one level, yet there can be deeper levels where this is
not so at all. This path leads into the as yet concealed, more subtle
levels that are dicult to pinpoint but certainly ascertainable.
“Images,” or Wrong ConclusionsOn these concealed, unconscious levels, misconceptions are
formed in early childhood. These distorted perceptions of reality
continue to inuence the behavior of the adult. They develop into
rmly held conclusions about life, which I like to call “images,”
because they form rigid patterns as if engraved on the soul
substance.
An image is made up of misconceptions, distorted feelings, and
physical block s. A conclusion drawn from distorted perception is a
wrong conclusion; therefore images are actually wrong conclusions
about the nature of reality that are so rmly embedded in a person’s
psyche that they become behavior-controlling signa ls in life
situations. A person may have several images, but underlying them
all is a main image, which is the key to the basic negati ve attitude
toward life.
Let me give you some examples. An image formed because of a
particular situation in the child’s family might be that the display of
emotion, especially of warm feelings, is a sign of weakne ss and will
lead to one’s being hurt. Although this is a personal image, it may
be reinforced by the societal  mass image that, especially for a man,
the display and physical expression of warm feelings are unmanly
and weak because they mean losing control. An individual with this
image will then, in any situation where he could emotionally open
himself, obey the signal of the images instead of spontaneously
responding to the actual situation or to the other person, which
would be the positive, life-arming response. He will also act
toward others in a way to which they will respond negatively and
conrm his false belief. In this way he deprives himself of pleasure
and restricts the ow of the life force, creating inner tensions and
further feeding his image. Thus negative compulsive patterns, or
self-perpetuating vicious circles, are created.
Or, a baby cries because she is hungry, but the mother does not
respond. However, when she does not cry, the mother will come and
feed her. So the little girl draws the conclusion that if she shows her
need, she will not be heard, but if she does not, she will get
attention. Then the following conclusion is drawn: “In order to have
my need fullled, I must not show that I have a need.” With thisparticular mother, perhaps not showing the need actually did work
for a while, but, obviously, in later years such an attitude will
produce the opposite result. Since no one will know that this woman
has any specic needs, no one will fulll them. However, since she
is comp letely ignorant of her “image,” that is, the wrong conclusion
about showing  needs, because it has long ago sunk into her
unconscious, she will go through life showing her needs less and
less, hoping that eventually someone will reward her for being so
unassuming, and not understanding why she is so unfullled. She
does not know that it is her behavior that makes life conrm her
wrong belief. For images have a magnetic power.
The wrong conclusions that form an image are drawn in
ignorance or half-knowledge and therefore cannot remain in the
conscious mind, and could actually have been carried over from
previous incarnations. As the child grows up, his or her newly
learned intellectual knowledge contradicts the old emotional
“knowledge.” The person pushes the emotional knowledge down
until it disappears from conscious sight. Yet the more the emotional
knowledge is hidden, the more potent it becomes. These unconscious
images then restrict the unfolding of the person’s potential.
Therefore, a conscious eort has to be made to bring these images
into awareness and learn how to inactivate them.
To nd out if such unconscious images exist in you on a deeper
level you can use an infallible key that will give you faultless
answers. This key is: How do you feel about yourself and about your
life? How meaningful, fullled, and rich is your life? Do you feel
secure with others? Do you feel comfortable about your most
intimate self in the presenc e of others, or at least with certain
people with whom you have a goal in common? How much joy are
you capable of feeling, giving, and receiving? Are you plagued with
resentments, anxiety, and tension, or with loneliness and a sense of
isolation? Do you need a lot of overactivity in order to alleviate
anxiety? Actua lly, the fact that you do not consciously feel anxious
by no means proves that you are without anxiety. Many start out on
the path without awareness  of their anxiety, but they feel dead,
numb, listless,  and paralyzed. This may be a sign that the anxietywas overcome through an articial deadening process. This path
cannot skip the step of making you rst feel your anxiety and then
feel whatever the anxiety hides. Only then can real aliveness come.
Exhilaration, enthusiasm, joyousness, and the unique blend of
excitement and peace that connotes spiritual wholeness are a result
of inner  truthfulness. When these states are absent, then truthfulness
must be absent. It is as simple as that, my friends.
So if you are prepared to embark on the journey into yourself to
nd, acknowle dge, and bring out whatever is in you, if you summon
all your inner truthfulness and commitment for the journey, if you
nd the courage and humility not to appear other than you are even
in your own eyes, then you have indeed every right to expect that
this path will help you realize your full life, and fulll your longing
in every conceivable way. This is a realistic hope. You will
increasingly know it to be so.
Progress on the Path
Little by little you will begin to function from your innermost
center, which is a very dierent experience from functioning from
your periphery. You are now so accustomed to the latter that you
cannot even imagine how else it could be. Now you are constantly
dependent on what happens around you. You depend on
appreciation and approval from others, on being loved, and on
being successful in terms of the outside world. Whether you are
aware of it or not, you inwardly strive to make sure you will obtain
all this outer support so as to have peace and fulllment.
When you function from your center, security and joy spring from
a deep well within you. This does not by any means imply that
when this happens you are condemned to live without  approval,
appreciation, love, or success. This is another dualistic
misunderstanding. You think: “Either I experience my center and
then must forfeit all love and appreciation from others and be alone,
or I must forfeit my inner self because I cannot contemplate such a
lonely life.” In reality, when you function from the liberated centerof your innermost self, you attract all the abundance of life to you,
but you do not depend on it. It enriches you and is a fulllment of a
legitimate need, but it is not the substance of life. The substance is
within.
In the healthy life of every human being there must be exchange,
intimacy, communication, sharing, mutual love, mutual pleasure,
and the giving as well as the receiving of warmth and openness.
Also, every human being needs recognition of what he or she does.
But there is an enormous dierence between wanting this
recognition in a healthy way and depending on outside recognition
to such an extent that you are unable to do without it at all times. In
the latter case, the self begin s to sacrice its integrity in tragic ways
that cost much too much. Then the real self is betrayed and the
seeking of recognition defeats itself. This path is geared to nding
your center, the deep, inner spiritual reality, and not some illusory
religious escape. Quite the contrary, this path is immensely
pragmatic, for the true spiritual life is never in contradiction to
practical life on earth. There  must be a harmony between these two
aspects of the whole. Forsaking everyday living is not true
spirituality. In most cases, it is merely another kind of escape. For
many it is easier to sacrice something and to chastise themselves
than to face and deal with their dark aspects. The guilt for the latter
is constantly atoned for by self-deprivations that are supposedly
doorways to heaven. Yet this guilt cannot be wiped out unless the
personality deals directly with the darkness within. Then sacrice
and deprivation become not only unnecessary but even
contradictory to true spiritual unfoldment. The universe is abundant
in its joy, pleasure, and bliss: Human beings are supposed to
experience them, not forsake them. No amount of forsaking will
wipe out the guilt for avoiding the purication of the soul.

aves, respectively.  In the case of a GSM  mobile phone, these two ELFs are reinforced by those of the essentially
unscreenable magnetic  fields associated with the current surges from the battery of the phone that
are necessary in order to endow the microwave emission with the pulse characteristics required for
TDMA.  Peak magnetic field strengths as high as 40 µT have been measured near the back of one
particular model of phone
11, 12, the noxiousness of which is indicated by recent experiments13, 14
employing chick embryos, which reveal an increased  degree of mortality when the phone is
protected by a proprietary shielding device that reduces the microwave output.  With the device in place, the increased (microwave) power output necessary to maintain contact with the base-station necessitates stronger surges of current, associated with which are correspondingly stronger (and
evidently more noxious) ELF magnetic fields.  These ELF magnetic  fields could thus pose an even
greater hazard to human health than do those associated with the microwave emission, a matter that warrants further experimental investigation.  In this connection, mention should be made of recent theoretical advances
15 in understanding, at the quantum level, the disruptive influence that ELF fields
(including pulsed ones) can have on the integrity of essential ion-protein links, resulting in an
imbalance of intra and inter cellular ion concentrations; this can result in metabolism malfunction and high levels of stress that can be lethal to organisms in the early stages of development.  It should be noted these ideas are also relevant to consideration of bio-negative influences of exposure to other
kinds of electromagnetic fields, such the low frequency magnetic fields associated with power lines and the mains appliances that they supply, which have been the subject of controversy for a much longer time.

 B-3. Indications of Non-thermal influences of Microwave Radiation, including GSM
 3.1 In vitro  and in vivo  evidence
Much experimental evidence of non-thermal influences of microwave radiation on living systems has
been published in the peer reviewed, scientific literature during the last 30 years – relating both to  in
vitro  and in vivo  studies - including some obtained more recently under exposure to radiation both
from a real GSM  phone; most often, however, an experimental ‘surrogate’ microwave generator is
used, the emissions of which can differ in certain important ways, the importance of which is not
generally recognised ( see Section B-3.3 ).  It should also be appreciated that the fields to which the
investigative systems are exposed in some of the earlier work are even farther removed from GSM,
both with respect carrier frequency, as well as CW/pulsed differences. A selection of some in vitro
studies is given below in Table I.
Table I

Epileptic activity in rat brain slices in conjunction with certain drugs16
             Resonant enhancement of cell division in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae17,
             Resonant effect on the genome conformation of Escherichia coli cells18
Synchronisation of cell division in the yeast Saccharomyces carlsbergensis19 and in E. coli 20
‘Switch-on’ of certain epigenetic processes, such as λ-phage21, 22 and colicin synthesis23
Alteration in the activity of the enzyme orthinine decarboxylase ( ODC )24-26
Reduced efficiency of lymphocyte cytoxicity27, 28
Increased permeability of the erythrocyte membrane29, 30
Effects on brain electrochemistry (calcium efflux)5-7
Increase of chromosome aberrations and micronuclei in human blood lymphocytes31
Synergistic effects with cancer promoting drugs such as phorbol ester32

 In vivo  evidence of non-thermal influences, mainly under exposure to actual GSM phone radiation,
comes predominantly from animal studies, some of which are summarised in Table II:
Table II

Epileptiform activity in rats, in conjunction with certain drugs33
Depression of chicken immune systems (melatonin, corticosterone and IgG levels)13, 14
Increase in chick embryo mortality13, 14
Increased permeability of the blood-brain in rats34, 35
Effects on brain dopamine/ opiate electrochemistry 36
Increases in DNA  single and double strand breaks in rat brain37, 38
Promotion of lymphomas in transgenic mice39
Synergistic effects with certain psychoactive drugs40
Stressful effects in healthy and tumour bearing mice41
             Neurogenetic effects and micronuclei formation in peritoneal macrophages in mice41

14
 Human in vivo  studies, under GSM  or similar conditions, include:

1)  Effects on the human EEG, specifically, a delayed increase in spectral power density
particularly in the alpha band42, which has been corroborated43 in the awake EEG  of adults
exposed to GSM  radiation.  Influences on the asleep EEG  have been reported, including a
shortening of rapid eye movement ( REM ) sleep44 (with possible adverse effects on learning)
during which the power density in the alpha band again increases, and effects on non- REM
sleep45.  Exposure to mobile phone radiation also causes a significant decrease in the
preparatory slow potentials in certain regions of the brain46, 47, and affects memory tasks48-50.

2)  Observation of an increase in resting blood pressure during exposure51.

3)  Observation of an increase in the concentration of nitric oxide in exhaled air correlated
with mobile phone use, indicative of an elevated level of stress and inflammation52.

4)  The established efficacy of Microwave Resonance Therapy53, 54 – i.e. the possibility of re-
storing homeostasis in a wide variety of human pathological conditions by ultra-weak microwave irradiation at specific frequencies under carefully controlled clinical conditions - otherwise known as ‘quantum medicine’, in view of the fact that such low intensities are used that individual quanta are involved.  The existence of such positive effects of microwave irradiation makes it difficult to argue that such radiation can not have the opposite effect – i.e. a bio-negative one – when applied indiscriminately, and at higher
intensities – in much the same way that the therapeutically beneficial effect of pharmaceutical drugs does not preclude the possibility of allergic drug reactions or, indeed, drug abuse.
  Although, apart from in the latter case, the power density of the radiation used in these experiments is typically that found at the head when using a mobile phone, and thus much higher than that found in publicly accessible areas in the vicinity of a base-station, the information  content of the radiation
emitted by the latter is the same; accordingly, these results are not irrelevant to the consideration of
potential adverse health effects associated with chronic exposure to base-station radiation.
3.2 Difficulties in replication
It should be noted that difficulties sometimes experienced in attempts to independently replicate
certain frequency-specific non-thermal effects are actually to be expected.  For in consequence of the
highly non-linear, non-equilibrium nature of living systems, even the slightest differences in the physiological state of the biosystems used, and in the conditions obtaining in a particular experiment can, in consequence of deterministic chaos, assume singular importance
55.
 Quite apart from this problem, however, discrepant results can often be traced to certain differences in experimental protocols that only become apparent upon close scrutiny.  Examples of this can be found in the attempt
56 to replicate the resonant influence of centimetre microwaves of sub-thermal
intensity on cell division in the yeast S. cerevisiae  found by Grundler et al.17, and the attempt by
Malyapa et al.57 to replicate the increase in DNA  breakage under low intensity microwave irradiation
found by Lai and Singh37, 38.

15
 In the case of the yeast experiments, several features can be identified that could well account for the
differing results, such as differences in the phase of the cell cycle at which exposure occurred, the use of synchronised cells in one experiment but not in the other, and differences in the imaging systems used (real-time vs. non-time lapse) to monitor cell division.
 In the case of the DNA  experiments, whilst both groups used microwave radiation of the same
frequency, they irradiated different systems (live rats vs. a cell line), and used very different assays to
assess the DNA  damage; in addition, the replication attempt did not separate the (positively charged)
bound protein from the (negatively charged) DNA  strands, thus obtaining much less migration in the
electrophoresis field, which was also applied for a much shorter time than in the original experiment; both these features militate against the formation of the ‘comet’ tails used to assess the degree of fragmentation.
3.3 Relevance of experiments to conditions realised in actual mobile phone usage
Quite apart from possible differences in the physiological states of the animals used in the original an
replication experiments, it should not be overlooked that differences in irradiation conditions can also contribute to difficulties in achieving replication; in addition, they can also be a confounding factor in assessing the relevance of positive animal results to humans (as also, incidentally, can differences in the ratio of the duration of irradiation to the lifetime of the species in question.)  Thus, for example, whereas, for humans, whole-body  exposure is realised arise only in the case of a base-
station, where ‘far-field’ conditions obtain, this is not necessarily so for animals, which, depending on their


, which was probably why I was so weak. Being malnourished from
inability to properly digest and absorb nutrients from the food was also a contributing factor.
   Dr. Kale gave me a rather long and extensive sigmoidoscope examination. It was
quite uncomfortable, to say the least, because I was nervous, tense, and the
hemorrhoids formed a slight interference to the entry of that cold steel tube.
   What does one think about while this tube is pushed deep into the rectum and colon
and moved around at different angles for best viewing? I didn't know what others
thought, but I'm sure it was similar to mine. I didn't think of pleasant things and I
didn't think of unpleasant things. In fact, I had but one thought: "When is he going to
take that damn thing out?"
   Dr. Kale was quite concerned upon completion of this examination. No, he was
more than concerned. He was alarmed. Alarmed that anyone could have allowed me
to reach this present stage without having the common sense to have placed me in a hospital. He informed me that not only was I running a high fever but that a massive
infection was present in the entire ulcerated large intestine and was spreading. He
said, "I want you to go right home and pack a suitcase and get over to the hospital
immediately. I'll phone the hospital and inform them to admit you as a medical
emergency." The hospital had no openings for admissions, but the medical emergency
had priority. It was one of the few times in my sick life I had "status."
   Upon admission I was put to bed and antibiotics were administered for the infection,
and aspirin for the fever. The body is trying to eliminate something through a fever. It
is part of a remedial process and should not  be suppressed by aspirin. Many times,
suppression of a fever will result in some unhealthy manifestation elsewhere in the
body. Also, the ingestion of aspirin has been proven to cause pinpoint bleeding and
even ulcers of the lining of the digestive tract. So why was it given to me? Was that logical? I must attribute my increased bleeding; during the first few days in the
hospital, to the always dangerous aspirin. I consider myself most fortunate the ulcers in my colon did not perforate into the abdominal cavity and cause my demise.
   My food was called a low-residue, high-protein diet, which is supposed to build the
body and yet not leave too much bulk after digestion to irritate the colon. Most of the food was cooked and pureed, leaving it nutritionally wanting, but this is all I could
handle. Put a healthy person on a diet of only cooked foods and eventually his health
will deteriorate into disease.
   I was advised to have double orders at each meal, if it was desired. That meant
double steaks, eggs, hamburgers, chops, chicken, and bacon. Also included in this
menu were milk, white bread, coffee, cereals, sa lt, white sugar, etc. For one thing, as
mentioned previously, a sick body does not have the ability for normal digestion and
becomes weaker from expending energy in trying. Meat is not good for the body, but
is much worse for a diseased intestine. Bacon and eggs are too difficult to digest. Milk generates mucus and creates allergic mani festations. White bread, cereals, and white
sugar are highly chemicalized foodless foods and are responsible for many diseases.
Salt (table salt, as it is known) is a powerful irritant and has no place in the human
body. You know what happens when salt is put on a cut; well can you imagine what it
does to a person who has ulcerative colitis. Coffee is a diuretic and stimulant which also has no place in the human body, much less a sick one, and coffee elevates the
fatty acid level of the blood while it can also trigger a low blood sugar
(hypoglycemic) reaction. I'll try to cover the important aspect of diet in another
chapter.
   A varied regimen of drugs was instituted during the first week in the hospital.
Treatment was always a hit and miss affair, going from one drug or modality to the
next and always seeking, always hoping, but never finding. I was going to spend five
long weeks in the hospital.
   Five weeks away from my family and from my practice, which was already
suffering. Five weeks filled with hope--but it was false hope.
   Megavitamin therapy began along with a battery of potentially dangerous drugs.
There was Sulfasuxidine for infection, Crystalline B-12 injections to combat the
anemia, Codeine for pain, Librium for tranquilization, Plaquenil (an anti-
inflammatory and antiparasitic agent), Sorboquel to inhibit motility in the intestinal tract, and Maalox for the ever-present indigestion and upset stomach due to ingestion
of all these drugs and inability to handle the volume of food.
   There were ups and downs the first two weeks, but nothing to indicate any general
improvement was forthcoming. Diarrhea was increasing to between 12 and 20 times
per day, much of it being just intestinal spasm and bleeding. This, coupled with the
poisonous effects of the drugs (nausea, indigestion, blurred and double vision,
dizziness, headache, dryness of mouth, and rapid heartbeat), sent me into deep depression, fear, anxiety, and other psyc hological hang-ups. I was becoming old at 32
years of age and had not enjoyed life for the last four years, at a time when I should
have been planning for the future. Instead, the outlook was bleak. I could only foresee
a futile struggle to exist--my wife having to work to support us, my physical and now
psychological debility worsening until I became a complete invalid (if I lived that
long), and a deteriorating family life.
   It was at this point in my hospitalization that Dr. Kale began the use of steroids--the
cortisone family of drugs. I had already taken small doses for a short time, as
mentioned earlier. Thus began probably the most dangerous phase of my treatment with these hormones, the reasons becoming ev ident, as you will soon learn. Massive
doses were given to me by injection and with in a few days I began to feel better. The
intestinal spasms and diarrhea became less frequent. The migrating joint pains, which
can be common in advanced ulcerative colitis, subsided. I began to feel "on top of the
world," but these were false feelings of euphoria brought about by the action of the
hormones. My appetite was stimulated abnormally and I was able to eat unlimited
amounts of food, which was harmful to an already weakened digestive system. I began to put on some weight, but it was a dangerous and unhealthy weight, as will be
seen. The severe inflammation throughout the intestinal tract subsided, or so it
seemed. But what occurred was a blocking of the body's mechanism to relay the
normal inflammatory response, thereby giving the impression of improvement when
in reality the inflammatory process was still going on, although I was not aware of it. In other words, while I was feeling marvelous and beginning to "live" again, I was
actually dying inside. A very deceptive mask ing of symptoms was taking place. It was
this symptom treatment, or masking of symptoms, that formed the basis for all my
medical treatment.
   After about a week of these injections, they were discontinued and replaced with
tablets called prednisolone (similar to the hormone prednisone I took with Dr.
Leopold three years before), which I took in very large doses. I was still taking the other previously mentioned drugs with the addition now of Ananase, which is used as
an anti-inflammatory and also reduces swellings.
   One of the dangers of taking steroids (prednisolone, etc.) is the delay of wound
healing or the opening up of old sores. So you can see the problem I was up against. I
was damn lucky the ulcerated colon didn't break down and allow me to hemorrhage to
death. With this potential danger, I could not understand the rationale for using this
drug.
   The final two weeks in the hospital were spent trying to rest, adjusting drug
dosages, taking blood tests and lower GI (bar ium enema) tests, and of course being on
the receiving end of the always-cold steel tube (the sigmoidoscope ).
   It was sometimes difficult to break the monotony of the five weeks in the hospital,
but I read and made friends with many patients on my floor, played chess with some,
and even took daily wheelchair rides up and down the hall while pushed by one of my
new-found friends. To make the ride even more interesting, I took along my remote
control switch from my hospital television set and as we passed each room I activated
the switch which changed channels in each room. I could hear various patients trying
to get their channels back by cussing and by clicking their remote control units as I
went up and down the corridor changing channels. No one ever discovered what
happened, but I knew the mystery broke their monotony. Kind of a ridiculous thing to do, but I guess I was getting a little "stir" crazy. These corridor rides were frowned
upon by the nursing staff, which put a quick end to an otherwise pleasant daily occurrence.

Humans have sur vived for as many as 90 days without
food, but can live only 72hours without water before going
into a semi-comatose state. Ironically, the kind of water
consumed, along with the lack of sufficient water is one of
the major substances that brings about arteriosclerosis,
illness and premature ageing! Drinking water saturated with
inorganic minerals – magnesium carbonate, calcium
carbonate and other elements the body cannot use – causes
suffering from a variety of unhealthy conditions. Inorganic
minerals, toxic chemicals, fluoride and contaminants can
pollute, clog up and even turn tissues to stone throughout
your body, causing pain, illness and even premature death!
Distilled water – Mother Nature’ s flushing agent – helps
remove inorganic mineral deposits and toxins from the

iii Many W aters Contain Deadly Chemicals!
With the scrupulous precision of a responsible
scientist, Paul C. Bragg along with his daughter Patricia,
describe the serious and devastating dangers in drinking
ordinar y water loaded with deadly commer cial
chemicals, fluoride toxins and inorganic minerals.
They reveal why the chlorination of our public water
supplies may not be the innocent practice that it appears
to be. Just remember that chlorine – nascent and the
hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide and other chlorine
compounds – are strong oxidizing and bleaching agents.
When the chlorination of our drinking water is sufficient
to produce an offensive taste and smell, enough chlorine
may enter the intestinal tract to destroy the friendly
bacteria which aids in the production and absorption
of vitamins, minerals and nutrients the body needs.
The Bragg s tell you about artificially fluoridated
drinking water which 67% of Am ericans ( human guinea
pigs) have flowing from  their taps... an unprecedented
experiment which less venturesome nations are watching
with gr owing alarm. Reread inside front cover warning list.
They explain how salt (inorganic sodium) causes
health problems. Their wise advise is to avoid table salt.
The Braggs believe they have found the reason why we
have more hospitals, nurses, mental institutions, medical
doctors and other healers, and more medical colleges than
ever before in histor y! Plus they believe they have found
one major reason why so many people are dying of
degenerative diseases – such as heart trouble, arthritis, kidney
trouble and hardening of the arteries long before their time.
The U.S. rates of cancer, Alzheimer’ s disease, developmental
disabilities, A.D.D.  and deformities are higher than ever!
From start to finish, this book is enthralling... a
highly disturbing and immensely ser viceable book. It
provides life-saving, wise advice. This book is a sour ce
of positive and practical enlightenment for everyone
who is vitally interested in the methods of regaining
and maintaining good health! It shows the way to be
healthier, happier and more youthful – plus you will
learn how to add energetic years to your life!

 b ecause they fear they need more calcium to
avoid osteoporosis and to give their children good teeth. What pasteurized milk actually does to their children is make them
calcium deficient and makes the children toxic, provoking many colds, ear infections, si nusitis, inflammations of the tonsils and
lung infections, and, induces an allergy to milk in the children.

The Development Of Allergies
There are three ways a body can become allergic. (1) It can have a genetic predisposition for a specific allergy to s tart with. (2) It
can be repeatedly exposed to an irritating substance such as pollen when, at the same time, the body's mechanism for dealing with
irritations is weakened. Generally weak adrenals causes this because the adrenal's job is to produce hormone s that reduce
inflammation. Once the irritating substance succeeds at producing a significant inflammation, a secondary reaction may be set  up,
called an allergy. Once established, an allergy is very hard to get rid of.
(3) in a way very similar to the sec ond, but instead of being irritated by an external substance, it is irritated by repeatedly failing to
properly, fully digest something. Pasteurized milk for example, basically impossible to completely digest even in its low -fat form,
often sets up an alle rgy that applies to other forms of cows milk, even raw, unpasteurized cows milk or yogurt. Eating too much
white flour can eventually set off a wheat allergy. My husband developed a severe allergy to barley after drinking too much h ome-
brewed beer; he also  became highly intolerant to alcohol. Now he has allergic reactions to both alcohol and barley. And gets far
sicker from drinking beer (two separate allergies) than from wheat beer, hard liquor or wine (only one allergy).
Eating too much of any single foo d, or repeatedly eating too much of an otherwise very good food at one time, can eventually
overwhelm the body's ability to digest it fully. Then, the finest whole food products may set up an allergic reaction. Worse,  this
allergic reaction itself subseque ntly prevents proper digestion even when only moderate quantities are eaten.
An allergy may not be recognized as an allergy because it may not manifest as the instant skin rash or stuffy nose or swollen
glands or sticky eyes. that people usually think of when they think "allergic reaction." Food allergies can cause many kinds of
symptoms, from sinusitis to psychosis, from asthma to arthritis, from hyperactivity to depression, insomnia to narcolepsy –and
commonly the symptoms don't manifest immediately after  eating. Frequently, allergic reactions are so low grade as to be
unnoticeable and may not produce an observable condition until many years of their grinding down the vital force has passed.
When the condition finally appears it is hard to associate it wit h some food that has been consumed for years, apparently with
impunity.
Thus it is that many North Americans have developed allergies to wheat, dairy, soy products (because many soy foods are very
hard to digest), corn and eggs. These are such common, wide spread, frequently found allergies that anyone considering a dietary
cause of their complaints might just cut all these foods out of the diet for a few weeks just to see what happens. And indivi duals
may be allergic to anything from broccoli to bacon, stra wberries to bean sprouts. Unraveling food allergies sometimes requires the
deductions of a Sherlock Holmes.
However, food allergies are very easy to cure if you can get the suffered to take the medicine. Inevitably, allergic reaction s vanish
in about five days of abstinence. Anyone with sufficient self -discipline to water fast for five days can cure themselves of all food
allergies at one step. Then, by a controlled, gradual reintroduction of foods, they can discover which individual items cause
trouble. Se e Coca's Pulse Test in the Appendix where you'll find step -by-step instructions for allergy testing that are less rigorous,
not requiring a preliminary fast.

Flour, And Other Matters Relating To Seeds
One of the largest degradations to human health was ca used by the roller mill. This apparently profitable machine permitted the
miller to efficiently separate wheat flour into three components: bran, germ and endosperm. Since bread made without bran and
germ is lighter and appears more "upper class" it became  instantly popular. Flour without germ and bran also had an industrial
application –it could be stored virtually forever without being infested by insects because white flour does not contain enough
nutrition to support life. Most health conscious people ar e aware that white flour products won't support healthful human life
either.
Essentially, white flour's effect on humans is another demonstration of Health = Nutrition / Calories. When the bran and germ  are
discarded, remaining are the calories and much o f the protein, lacking are many vitamins and minerals and other vital nutritional
substances.
Whole wheat bread has been called the staff of life. In ages past, healthy cultures have made bread the predominant staple in  their
diet. Does that mean you can just go to the bakery and buy whole grain bread, or go to the health food store and buy organically
grown whole wheat flour, bake your own, and be as healthy as the ancients? Sorry, the answer is almost certainly no. There ar e
pitfalls, many of them, waiti ng for the unwary.
White flour has one other advantage over whole wheat flour. It not only remains free of insect infestation, it doesn't become  stale
(meaning rancid). In the wheat germ (where the embryo resides) there is considerable oil, containing amon g other things, about the
best natural source of vitamin E. This oil is highly unsaturated and once the seed is ground the oil goes rancid in a matter of days.
Whole wheat flour kept on the unrefrigerated shelf of the store is almost certainly rancid. A lo t of its other vitamin content has
been oxidized too. If the wheat flour had flowed directly from the grinder into an airtight sack and from there directly to t he
freezer, if it had been flash frozen and kept extremely cold, it might have a storage life of  some months. Of course that was not the
case. Maybe you're lucky and your health food store is one of the very few that has its own small -scale flour mill and grinds daily.
Probably not.
How about your baker's whole wheat bread? Where does the baker get flour? From the wholesaler's or distributor's warehouse! In
fifty pound kraftpaper sacks! How much time had elapsed from milling to wholesaler to baker to baking? The answer has to be i n
the order of magnitude of weeks. And it might be months. Was the flou r stored frozen? Or airtight? Of course not.
If you want bread made from freshly ground flour you are almost certainly have to grind and bake it yourself. Is it worth the
trouble? You bet. Once you've tasted real bread you'll instantly see by comparison wh at stale, rancid whole wheat flour tastes like.
Freshly ground flour makes bread that can be the staff of life and can enormously upgrade your health –if the wheat you use is any
good.
But before we talk about wheat quality, a more few words of warning. If you think wheat goes rancid rapidly, rye is even worse.
Rye flour goes bad so fast that when you buy it in the store it usually is the rye equivalent of white wheat flour. The germ has been
removed. The bag may not say so. But it probably has. If you are g oing to make rye breads, even more reason to grind your own.
Corn meal from the grocery store has usually been degerminated too. If it hasn't been, the oil in the seed's germ has probabl y gone
rancid.
Grinding flour at home is easy these days. There is an  abundance of at -home milling products and no shortage of hype about them.
You'll find staunch advocates of stone mills. These produce the finest -textured flour, but are costly. The sales pitch is that stones
grind at low temperature and do not damage the oils (remember the development of rancidity is a function of temperature) or the
vitamins, which are also destroyed at high temperature. This assertion is half true. If you are going to store your flour it is far better
to grind it cool. However, if you ar e, as we do, going to immediately bake your flour, what difference does it make if it gets a little
warm before baking. That only accelerates the action of the yeast.
On the negative side, stone mills grind slowly and are very fussy about which grains the y will grind. If the cereal is a bit moist or if
the seed being ground is a little bit oily, the mill becomes instantly blocked.
Steel burr mills grind fast and coarsely and are inexpensive. Coarse flour makes heavy bread. The metal grinding faces tend t o
wear out and have to be replaced occasionally –if they can be replaced. Breads on the heavy side are still delicious; for many years
I made bread with an inexpensive steel burr mill attachment that came with my juicer.
Some steel burr mills will also grin d oily seed like sesame and sunflower. However, oily seeds can be ground far more easily half -
a-cup at a time in a little inexpensive electric spice/coffee mill, the sort with a single fast -spinning propeller


’. It is the baptism of becoming in the ocean of being.
     When attention is divested of its object, it stands revealed as pure aware -
ness; when devotion is relieved of the beloved, it stands revealed as love.
     Just as one who practises meditation must, at some point, relax the fierce
discipline of attention and come to rest in and as the presence of awareness,
the same is true for one on a path of devotion. The apparently separate sub -
ject of experience who once longed to merge with the object of her devotion
now realises that she must abandon it and subside in the source of pure love
from which her devotion arises.
46the ultimate prayer
     Thus it is said, ‘In the existence of your love, I become non-existent.’ *
On both paths, our efforts have brought us to a threshold beyond which
they cannot pass.
     At some point there is a shift or a conversion in our understanding:
what  appears from the perspective of a separate self to be the effort we make
towards the object of our longing is, in fact, the subject of our longing attract -
ing us into itself.
     Our longing is only the veiling of love. What we, as an apparently sep -
arate self, experience as effort is, in fact, the gravitational pull of grace.
All desire is the attraction of love.
     For this reason, the ultimate prayer is to take the name ‘I am’ and lose
oneself in its referent, abiding as that. In this abidance, our being is divested
of the qualities and limitations that it acquires from experience and stands
revealed as intimate, impersonal, infinite being.
     Just as we take off all our clothes before going to bed at night, revealing
our naked body, so, in the practice of prayer, we discard everything that is
superfluous to us, leaving naked being revealed. The person has dissolved,
leaving only impersonal, infinite, utterly intimate being. Thus, the art of
prayer is to abide as ‘I am’. It is the practice of the presence of God.

When I first heard about my true nature of being aware or awareness itself, it was
easy and natural to reside there, but now the old habits of thinking and feeling have
returned and I find myself going back and forth. How can I stay in awareness?

When you say, ‘How can I stay in awareness?’ you are taking yourself to be
something other than awareness, such as a body or a mind. Awareness is con -
sidered something that you must approach, rest in for a period of time and
then leave. This ‘something other than awareness’ is the bundle of thoughts,
images, feelings, sensations and perceptions that constitute the ego or separ -
ate self that most people believe and feel themselves to be, and around whom
their activities and relationships revolve.
47* Jelaluddin Rumi, ‘I Am Yours’, The Love Poems of Rumi, translated by Fereydoun Kia, edited by Deepak
Chopra (Harmony, 1998 ).you are the happiness you seek
     One of the activities of this apparently separate self is to undertake a spiri -
tual practice such as meditation in order to cease being a separate self, with
the suffering that inevitably attends it, and become open, empty, inherently
peaceful awareness. However, such an activity simply perpetuates the separate
self at its origin, which is why it is so frustrating.

So is there nothing I can do?

There is nothing that you, awareness, need to do to be yourself. You are
already always only yourself. However, if we believe and feel ourself to be
a separate self, then we are already doing something. What are we doing?
Seeking peace and happiness in objective experience.

So what can I do?

Investigate the ‘I’ on whose behalf the search for peace and happiness arises.
That is, turn your attention upon yourself and investigate who you really
are, and in this way bring yourself back to the experiential understanding
that you always and already are the awareness that you seek. All the peace
and happiness you long for resides there.

It is easier said than done.

No, it is easier done than said! It takes but a moment to ask yourself who
you really are and allow that question to reveal the ever-present awareness
that is your essential, irreducible nature behind and within all experience.
There is nothing complex about this. We know our self more intimately
than we know any other thing. Even our most treasured thoughts and feel -
ings are but strangers to us compared to the familiarity and intimacy of
our own being.
     Know yourself as the fact of being aware or awareness itself rather than
a continuous flow of thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and perceptions.
It is true that when any of these are present they are you, in the sense that
they are made out of the awareness you are. But that is not all you are. They
are ripples on the surface of your being. None of them define you or are
essential to you.
48the ultimate prayer
     Mind is always in movement. No movement, no mind. But what about
awareness? Awareness is always just awareness, colouring itself in the form of
the mind or remaining in its uncoloured condition. But irrespective of whether
awareness is colouring itself as experience or resting colourless, does awareness
ever leave itself and then come back to itself? Does awareness ever ask the ques -
tion, ‘What practice do I need to undertake in order to know myself?’
     What does awareness have to do to be itself? Does it have to undertake
any activity in order to maintain itself, or is it always effortlessly simply being
itself? What kind of experience could prevent awareness from being itself?
What kind of experience could prevent awareness from being aware? Is not
awareness effortlessly being aware now?
     What kind of a movie could prevent the screen from being the screen?
Likewise, what kind of experience or activity could make awareness more
aware than it already is? Does anything that takes place in a movie add any -
thing to or remove anything from the screen? Similarly, does anything that
takes place in experience add anything to or remove anything from your self,
awareness? Can you feel the freedom that is your original nature and that
needs nothing from experience?

I guess it’s more about not being so identified.

But who has to be less identified? There is no separate self to be identified or
not to be identified. There is awareness all alone or awareness colouring itself
with its own activity, that is, awareness simply resting in and as itself or
appearing in the form of experience.
     See clearly that knowing, being aware or awareness itself is your nature.
It is who you are, not what you might become. Let this be your new default
felt understanding. It is not something you can work towards. There is no
separate, independently existing ‘you’ who could become or work towards
awareness. There is just awareness and its own activity.
     And even when awareness is colouring itself in the form of thoughts,
images, feelings, sensations and perceptions and seeming, as a result, to be a
person, it is still not identical to any of these, just as a screen is never identical
to any of the objects or characters in the movie. Awareness is always only
ever identical to itself, for there is nothing in itself other than itself with
which it could be either identified or unidentified.
49you are the happiness you seek
So there is just the recognition of that?

Yes, there is just the recognition of that. And who is it that would recognise
awareness? Only awareness is aware, and therefore only awareness is aware
of itself or, indeed, aware of any other apparent thing.

But I still find experience distracts me from my true nature.

The drama of experience may retain the capacity to veil your true nature for
some time, and therefore there may be a feeling of back-and-forth for a while.
However, just as the movie loses its veiling power in time and, as a result,
the distinction between the screen and the movie fades, so experience loses
its ability to conceal awareness and, as a result, the distinction between aware -
ness and experience diminishes and the conflict between them ceases.
     At that stage there is no longer any back-and-forth, because it is all aware -
ness wherever you go and whatever you experience. At that point meditation
is life and life is meditation. We may still choose to sit quietly with our eyes
closed for some time to rest in being, but we would not essentially be doing
anything different from what takes place in the activities of everyday life.

*     *     *

I’m wondering about the balance between doing and non-doing, because I feel
I need to make an effort, yet at the same time I feel that non-doing is actually
allowing me to step back more into who I truly am.

If it seems, to begin with, that an effort is required to be aware of your
own being, then make the effort. First investigate your essential nature and
then stand knowingly as that. Don’t superimpose the idea of non-doing
on yourself.
     In time, it will be clear that you cannot make an effort to be what you
always and already are. Indeed, it would only be necessary to make an

Minerals Found in Nature Are Inorganic
:
Inorganic minerals are
minerals found in their raw form in
the earth
 and in water, which means,
non- biological.
Organic compounds
 are of biological nature and origin.
This is
an important
 issue regarding the differentiation between
organic
and
 inorganic, to more easily understand the organic
compound referred
to as a chelate.
 Chelated Minerals
:
One reason that the human body cannot assimilate
most of
the inorganic
 minerals dissolved in water is that a living
organism
cannot
 utilize inorganic minerals directly. Inorganic minerals
are basically
dirt and are the cause of many disorders and diseases.  Before a living
organism can absorb an inorganic mineral, it
needs to
 convert it to an
organic or biologically structured compound.  This transformation occurs
in the digestive tract where
the inorganic
 mineral is chemically bonded to
an organic molecule.

This
bonding process
 is referred to as chelation, and the
final
product
 is
called a chelate. In Latin, chelate means “
bond
.
”

Now the
 body can
recognize the mineral chelate as an
organic compound
 which can be
successfully absorbed by the cells.

Absorption of Minerals
There are several things which can increase the difficulty
with which
inorganic minerals are absorbed and utilized by cells.
In most
 cases,
there
’
s insufficient organic matter for bonding
with the
 mineral prior to
passing through the organism without
being absorbed
. Secondly, the
mineral may not be assimilated due
to the
 health of the organism.

Scientists have discovered how to create mineral chelates
by bonding
inorganic minerals found in nature to organic or
amino acid
. It is converted
to a bonded “reacted” organic ligand (
a completed
 mineral chelate)
,
enabling
 it to be efficiently
and
successfully
 absorbed by the digesting
organism. Learn
more about
 scientifically chelated minerals in the next
chapter.

 CHAPTER 12
Mineral Chelates Are
Not Created Equal

Most people understand that minerals and vitamins
are distinctively
different. There happens to be as great a
difference when
 organic minerals
are compared to inorganic minerals.
The key
 word, when discussing the
differences between these
two types
 of minerals, is “chelate.”
Mineral chelate is a technical scientific term with a
specific definition
 that
has been overused, misused, misrepresented
and misunderstood
 in
nutritional health circles and the marketplace
, while
 becoming a trendy
buzz word.
What Is a Mineral Chelate?
The term
 “chelate” specifically identifies a particular
bond between
 the
atom of an inorganic mineral and a
molecular structure
 known as a ligand.
The mineral chelate is an
element while
 the ligand is a molecule. For the
ligand to form a molecule
, it
 must be attached to the mineral in two
separate
locations rather
 than just one. So much for the broad definition of
a “
chelate.” This is where it starts to get interesting. As life
is fraught
 with
variation, so are chelate
s.

A ligand
’
s size and characteristics are not defined by a chelate
’
s
definition.

Learning this fact is important since there are a
number of
 molecules that
are ligands. There are also some ligands
toxic enough
 to the environment
that they are controlled
by government
 regulations. Some are required to
be broken
up before
 they can be absorbed since they are too large; and
even then
, they still are not able to be absorbed.
The Size of Ligands

Glycine is an amino acid which comes in a string
of nitrogen, oxygen
,
hydrogen and carbon. A
higher absorption
 rate of
a ligand
 is dependent
upon the chain
’
s length and size. Yet if
the chain
 and size get too big, it
cannot be absorbed by the cell. It
is possible
, however, that the oversized
chelate molecule could
be broken
 apart in the colon, reducing the mineralto a
functional size
. In this instance, it can then be re-chelated for
possible
absorption
. However in this case it will more than likely
pass completely
through the digestive tract, never being absorbed.
Glycine Amino Acid

The Manufacturing Process
It
’
s not a simple process to produce or manufacture an effective
, highly
efficient mineral chelate. Prior to the manufacturing step
, there
 are variants
in mineral chelates and ligand choices to
be taken
 into consideration prior
to determining which of the
four manufacturing
 processes to use.

Various Mineral Chelate Production Processes

1.

The most effective is spray-
drying
.
At a specific time in
the reaction
 process, the formulated product is dried during
spraying
, guaranteeing
 a more viable, potent and effective
product.
It requires
 expensive and sophisticated equipment.
Precise variations
 in this process are intricately controlled
and
continuously
 mon
itored.

2.

Air-drying a slurry mixture.
  This technique results in avariable finished
 product, but it is an inexpensive method and
therefore quite
 common.

3.

D
ry blending and mixing of the mineral and agent.
  The
finished product is not chelated or reacted. The mixing process
is crude and fundamental, similar to mixing cement in a drum
mixer.
The manufacturer
 advertises that these minerals will be
chelated in
the person’s
 digestive tract in a natural process.
Some mineral processors use a combination of the second and third
methods, resulting in a certain degree of chelation in addition to
high levels
of inorganic or unreacted minerals.It is difficult for the average consumer to sort through all of
the options
,
manufacturing processes and claims in order to come to
a confident
conclusion and make the right decision on a healthy
and effective
 product
choice.
You can start to see that there is much more to “minerals” than
meets the
eye. It is very understandable why the majority of people think  that the
water-soluble minerals found in water are healthy and  beneficial, not
realizing that these are responsible for many ailments,  maladies, diseases
and human suffering. Only chelated minerals
can be
 utilized by our bodies.
That means it is a mineral that is attached
by a
 bond at two points by the
ligand, making it “fully reacted
and bonded
.”
When it comes to your health and
well-being
, don
’
t compromise on  quality
and purity for the sake of price. When it comes to minerals,
do your
homework and investigate the manufacturer
’
s claims
and production
processes.  Regardless of a manufacturer
’
s claims,
the bottom
 line
remains whether their minerals are “fully reacted”
and whether
 they can
willingly and easily provide
indisputable confirmation
 and proof.

CHAPTER 13
Carbon Filters: “Cheapest”
Water Treatment...
But Are They Effective?

This chapter will address the major health issues and maintenance
of the
popular and trusted
carbon water filters
. This is one of the most common
types of water purification systems used in homes. Although effective for
removing many harmful substances, they have a number of
disadvantages affecting the quality and chemistry of the filtered water,
which I will cover later. But first, there are several major reasons why
carbon water filters are the number one choice for cleaning up tap water
nationwide.
 Aggressive marketing - Low manufacturing costs - High profits
Carbon filters do remove many chemical and cancer-causing substances
and are relatively inexpensive compared to reverse osmosis, deionization
and distillation. Since there is a very high profit margin, this method of
water purification is preferable. Unfortunately, many of the manufacturers
and/or salespeople are not forthcoming in what a carbon filter can and
cannot do. Instead of mentioning what it can't do, they will amplify and
exaggerate the positive aspects of the filter. As a result, the consumer is
under the false impression that their “filtered water” is now healthy.

Carbon filters are not complicated and are easy to install
Most people are looking for simplicity at a great price. It is not a
secret that
most municipal water supplies are polluted to some degree. However, the
average person is unaware of any details about these pollutants or what is
involved in removing them from water.

If they are told that a carbon filter removes
dangerous
substances
, does
so more cheaply than any other method,
and that
 the water will taste and
smell better, that's good enough
for most
 people.
 Carbon filters do remove many chemicals and carcinogens

But what about the harmful toxins and substances filters they
do not
remove? Activated carbon filtration systems do not
remove microbes


 give me a certificate that they had
such a remarkable result, they refused for obvious reasons.
How do you tackle people who may tell you that your are unscientific?
There is nothing unscientific about it. Mr. Moraji Desai, the former Prime Minister of India, was
using this remedy for years and he lived for almost a hundred years bouncing with good health.
In fact, I got an invitation to give a talk at the Rotary Meeting on alternative therapy four or five
years ago just because the doctors who were under my treatment showed no signs of aging and
they insisted that I should be invited to talk to the general public.
Many people are working all over the world and doing research on this.
The Dean of J.J.Hospital is keen that I should start research on this project And I have given my
consent. We should start some work in the next 2 to 3 months.
Is there any scientific research in this regard? Or some documented evidence?
There is a lot of scientific research and documented evidence on auto-urine therapy.
The Italian surgeon Stanislau R Burzynski, now settled in America, separated anti-neoplastin
from human urine and showed remarkable results in the treatment of cancer. But the cost of
treatment was in lakhs.The other substance found in large quantities in the urine is called
dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). It is a hormone related to testesterone. This, as research
showed, has anti-aging, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity properties. There is also lots of research on
urea. When recycled by mouth, it is converted into essential amino acid.
In what otherwise-incurable diseases do you find urine therapy effective?
I have personally treated many patients with allergies, especially asthma, which have been cured.
The other condition on which AUT has effect is chronic amoeobic dysentery which is really a
problem in India. Chronic constipation, which is also a common thing in old age, gets cured in a
few months. Some cases of cancer have got cured, but one cannot say that all cases can get
well. This mainly depends on the stage of the disease. For common troubles like skin diseases,
cold, cough, bronchitis, viral fever and pyorrhoea, it is really a boon.
How did you get interested in this therapy?
I read a book in 1975 called "Manav Mootra" by Ravjibhai Patel. It gave me an impetus to treat a
case of Hodgkin's disease with high grade cancer. The patient was supposed to be a gone case.
But with auto urine therapy, this man is still perfectly all right.
Then in the last few years, I have treated many patients not only from India but also from a few
places abroad with this therapy. The diseases I have treated with this auto urine therapy are :
psoriasis, eczema, allergy, arthritis, diabetes, obesity, backache, hyperacidity, ulcerative colitis
and mental depression. Now appointed in Shushrusha Hospital as a yoga therapist,
naturopath and urine therapy consultant, I am doing regular consultation on this.
56
---------Are there any side-effects, if it is taken in excess?
There are no side-effects at all if taken in excess. In fact, in viral fever or arthritis,
when we want the patient to have quick results, we tell them to do auto-urine or Shivambu fast
where the patient takes nothing else except auto-urine and water for as many days as he or she
can, with remarkable results.
Somebody has written that it helps even AIDS patients? Is there any evidence?
There are many reports that it does help patients. The reference which I must get for my
experience in this is lacking. I have personally treated two patients.
They started improving very well but left the treatment halfway.
I would like that more clinical research is done to know more about it.
Someone wrote that alcohol and non-vegetarian food should be avoided during urine
therapy? Why?
Alcohol and non-vegetarian food produces more toxic substances in the body and neutralise the
good effects produced by auto-urine therapy. We, in fact, tell all patients to give up tobacco in all
forms and pan masa/a also. We tell them to restrict consumption of tea, coffee, cold drinks,
spices, fried foods, junk foods and bakery products. All the above restrictions are to prevent more
toxic substances in the body so that AUT will have better results.
When can one safely stop the treatment?
Why do you want to stop at all? When I am not suffering from any disease, I take three glasses of
my own urine everyday and massage my body with auto urine every morning and take bath after
one hour. Have you stopped brushing your teeth? Or stopped going to the toilet?
Or stopped taking a bath? Obviously not. This is to be incorporated in your daily routine.
I have several people on record where after starting auto-urine therapy - a family of four have not
gone to a general physician for any ailment for more than a year.
Please start this therapy and experience the benefits yourself if you don't believe me.
Can you quote some successful cases that you have treated? What is the patients'
feedback?
My experience runs to so many years and if I start quoting, it will fill a 200-page note book.
No patient who has started this therapy with faith has come back and told me that the therapy
was totally useless. You must have faith and patience.
A few illustrative cases:
One: A young man of 40 had been suffering from asthma from childhood. he came because he
was curious and wanted to know more about AUT. I convinced him and he started it, inspite of his
brother, being an M.D. (General Medicine), calling him crazy for having faith in auto-urine
therapy. he persisted with the diet control, naturopathy and auto-urine therapy and got completely
cured in 10 months.
Two: A young man suffering from psoriasis wanted to commit suicide because he thought that he
had committed some sin in his last birth and that he was suffering because of that.
He started with auto-urine therapy.
Results started showing in 6 weeks but he got completely cured in 4 months.
Three: A lady aged 45 years was being treated by a physician in one of the five star hospitals in
Bombay for rheumatoid arthritis. She was immobile with a lot of pain.
She was treated in a hospital with allopathic medicines including cortisone, but only got
temporary relief of about 15%-20% as well as a lot of side-effects because of the drugs. She
came to me and I convinced her to start an auto-urine (shivambu) fast.
She fasted continuously for 8 days by taking auto-urine (all that she passed) and plain water.
Astonishingly, she got totally cured on the 9th day. She is still doing it and is quite healthy.

TIBETAN VRINE ANALYSIS
Urinalysis
Just as one looks into a mirror and you see an image, so does a
qualified physician look into a patient's urine and from this see the
disorders of a patient.
Information is provided by H.H. Dalai Lama's personal physician.
I sincerely hope this information will help you too.
The discussion of urinalysis has many parts: preparation for urinalysis, the
proper time for observation, the vessel or cup in which the urine is placed
for diagnosis, and the manner in which the coloration changes due to
passing through the various organs. Also, there are four general types of
urinalysis: or ordinary persons without any major illness, of persons with
disorders, or persons of the verge of death, and of persons affected by
spirits. Thus, altogether there are eight general subtopics.
~1}.. PR£PARAT10N FOR VRlNALYSlS
If a patient's urine is to be diagnosed in the morning,
then the night before there are certain types of behavior that
should be followed. One should avoid any strong tea as well
as very much yogurt or any beer or alcohol. The reason for
this is that taking any of these substances affects the coloring
and so forth of the urine, making it difficult for diagnosis.
Furthermore, during the night preceding urine diagnosis,
one should not go without liquid altogether, such that the following
morning one is extremely thirsty. In other words, just be normal,
take sufficient liquids so you are not terribly thirsty.
One should not have sexual intercourse the night prior to diagnosis.
Nor should one stay awake at night; get a good night's sleep.
One should also not go to excess in moving about or in trying
to stay in just one position. Nor should one allow a great deal
of tension or a great deal of thinking.
Do not go to any excess prior to diagnosis.
58 With respect to
