 shoals? If so, the greatest lesson you can learn is now possible,
for your ship never would have grounded if the proper navigator were
charting the course. Y our surface self and egoistic nature have been at the
helm, and the limited perception of surface mind could not possibly know
of the uncharted shoals. Now your ship is aground, and the only way that it
can be freed is to give over command to the master who knows these waters
well. Surrender is the principle by which ultimate control is gained. The
bossy surface self continually tries to run the show and its enamoring cry of
“I, I, I” may easily delude the whole consciousness into limited life and
knowledge, but when a person runs into suf ficient pain and dif ficulty, a
crack appears in the hard veneer of the ego and a light is let through which
illuminates all for one startled instant of awareness. Then the person knows
that their life and self are in the hands of something greater than they are,
that their identity with the surface mind has always been an illusion, which
in this moment of enlightenment they are freed from. Creative people af fect us as being rich in possibilities. They are ripened
trees that drop their fruit, and we scarcely can be near them without
attaining to some unexpected good. Creative people’ s attitudes have an
aspect of abundance, as if they have some mystical tie with a horn of plenty,
not of material things necessarily, but of ideas and of possibilities that give
a universal note to everything they do. A good thing is ef fective and
generative. It grows and propagates and makes room for itself. It springsinto being through an irresistible creative ur ge of universal mind, and the
vehicle of its manifestation always is the person with an artistic attitude
toward life. Ralph W aldo Emerson wrote, “The true artist has the planet for
his pedestal.” They see the possibilities inherent in all things and are
discoverers in the universe and interpreters for their less enlightened
fellows. Freeing Y our T alent

Each person is by some secret liking connected to a particular aspect of life. When we have become freed of the repressions, limitations, and inhibitions
imposed upon us by our education and training, we are able to expose this
subconscious preference and by it attune ourselves with the creative talent
that naturally is ours. Such talent has limitless possibilities for
manifestation. It need have no connection with the so-called arts and may
be as simple a thing as a talent for kindness or love. It may be a talent for
speaking, for persuasion, for teaching, for research, for study. It may be in
science or business, but wherever it is it will prove on exposure to be vastly
superior to the abilities of people who are guided solely by competitive
aims and egoistic desires. It will proceed out of an inexhaustible fount, be
superior to us as people, seem to use us rather than we use it. Our ordinary
mortal selves will live with our talent in a constant state of startled delight. We will know it is a visitation of something above and beyond us, will treat
it at all times with loving care, follow it, obey it, never command it. The most completely frustrating thing that can happen to the individual life
is for inherent talent to fail to develop. Such failure only can come about
through the ego controlling the nature, restricting the individual’ s growth in
the direction intended. The torrent of creative ener gy that exists in every human being becomes
dammed up only with the gravest danger. Resentment, bitterness, hate, and
hostility are the emotional maladjustments that result from a frustratedcreative nature, and these inevitably find their counterparts in physical
illness. Heart trouble, circulatory disease, arthritis, rheumatism, cancer,
ulcer are all psychosomatic symptoms resulting from dammed-up creative
energy. It not only is imperative that we free our talent in order to become
fulfilled as individuals, but it also is important that we free it in order to live
physically vigorous lives, in order to have healthy bodies. These ends can
be accomplished only by lowering our egoistic barriers, by turning our lives
over to the Divine to be used for whatever purpose our basic natures are
best suited. When we are able to do this, we become natural persons,
blending into our tasks and our work in such a manner that we seem an
extension of our activities and they an extension of us. W e achieve an
effectiveness in action that is directly proportional to the degree that we
have turned our lives over to the Secret Self, and the manifestation that
comes through us of superior action and skill is not possessed by the surface
self but uses it as an instrument to ef fect its purposes in the world. Your Separate Star

True artists we all are inherently, for each of us reflects an image in the
growing body of humankind of the one mind and intelligence that lies
behind creation. W e paint a picture as we go through life of that mystic and
occult realm whence we originated and to which we one day will return. When we depart, the picture remains, with our signature in the corner, and
is just as surely the representation of what we saw and felt and heard and
attempted to communicate as is the picture of the painter, signed and hung
upon the wall of the gallery. And in the final analysis who is to judge which
vision is the most beautiful or worthwhile, for if someone lives the life of an
artist, their hand is guided by a will other than their own, and what is
wrought through them is wrought at the behest of the Divine, whose deft
brushstrokes are gradually adding to the picture of eternity and infinity. Throw of f the egoistic bonds that hold you and allow the Secret Self to
shine through. Y ou will become the artist incarnate. A talent will begin todevelop in you toward which your whole nature can be lent. Y ou will begin
to do the work that only you can do, that will fulfill you as a human being
and as an aspiring soul. Wherever your heart leads, you may joyfully
follow, with an inner certainty that you are acting in accord with the deepest
motivations of life. Each for the joy of working
And each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the thing as he sees it
For the God of things as they are. — RUDY ARD KIPLINGOceanofPDF.com

How to Use Y our Sixth Sense

Today the existence of a sixth sense is well r ecognized. Supersensory
ability has been r ecorded thr ough the centuries but only r ecently under
laboratory conditions; now its existence is finally and irr evocably
proved. Under sixth sense may be lumped all paranormal phenomena
such as thought transfer ence, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis, which in
parapsychology ar e called ESP, extrasensory per ception. Intuitive
understanding of cir cumstances comes thr ough the use of the sixth
sense, and its range and scope ar e vastly gr eater than those of the other
five. The Dimly Seen W orld

The physical sensory or gans reveal to us the barest indication of what
actually is encountered in the material world. They record vibrations. Each
sense records a tiny segment of the total spectrum of vibrations. The
recording of all five senses is only an infinitesimal part of that total
spectrum. A million times more remains untold about each object we
encounter than is ever revealed to us by our physical senses. W e move
about in a world that we obtain only the dimmest impression of. Objects
that we regard as solid are not solid at all, but are merely enclosures of
higher vibrations, and everything exists in a constant state of movement andflux. Form is merely the imprisonment of movement within dimension, and
in the final analysis all things are far more mental than physical. Now that physical science has been able to reduce the smallest bit of matter
to nothingness, has found basic substance to be ener gy or intelligence, even
the most materialistic of researchers has been forced to the inevitable
conclusion that all things are basically ideas, that they are held in form as
concepts in some universal intelligence. It is through this universal
intelligence that we discover the sixth sense, that we arrive at spiritual
enlightenment. It is the immersion of ego in this intelligence that provides
salvation for the individual, allowing them to live their life in a state of
attunement and harmony. The psychological act of shucking of f the little
self and attaining to a lar ger self is what the great mystics speak of when
they record their arrival at the “moment of truth.”
There is a vast and great mind that is responsible for the construction of the
universe, that is in a very real sense the universe itself, and this infinite and
eternal intelligence creates only from its own substance, and everything it
creates is inherently itself, not something dif ferent, except through the
limitation imposed upon it by its becoming partial and incomplete. Everything in creation is a manifestation of the one mind and intelligence
that underlies all. Each person therefore has within them a supermind which
is free of limitation and restriction, and this mind, working beneath the level
of conscious intelligence, is capable of absolute and truthful guidance in all
things because it understands and perceives all things. Moments of Illumination

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and
rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because
it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in
anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed
down for many generations. But after observation and analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to
the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. ”

	live	virus	with	the	paralyzing	sting	bred	out	of	it	gives

the	patient	a	mild	non-paralyzing	disease	that	induces	a	lifetime	immunity. The

"dead	virusers"	are	said	to	be	more	concerned	with	the	element	of	risk,	claiming

that	the	live	virus	can	always	turn	to	a	paralytic	type. Salk,	of	course,	is	a	dead-to-center	dead	viruser. Salk’s	being	chosen	for	this	job

was	no	matter-of-chance	happening. In	his	medical	student	days	at	New	York

University	he	was	one	of	the	bacteriology	pupils	of	Dr. Thomas	Francis,	Jr.,	head

of	the	department. Was	it	fate	spinning	the	wheel. Let’s	see. After	graduation

and	internship	at	Mt. Sinai	Hospital	in	New	York,	the	National	Research

Counsel,	on	the	basis	of	some	work	he	had	done	as	a	student	on	flu	virus	under

Dr. Francis,	awarded	Salk	a	fellowship	at	the	University	of	Michigan,	where	he

worked	again	under	Dr. Francis. Together	they	developed	the	flu	vaccine	now	on

the	market. It	just	so	happens	that	this	very	same	Dr. Francis	was	in	charge	of	the

evaluation	of	the	whole	polio	project	sponsored	by	the	Foundation,	and	it	was	he

whose	history	making	report	on	that	fateful	April	day	stirred	the	nation	and	the

world	into	a	frenzy	and	enthusiasm	that	exceeded	anything	ever	before	accorded

a	medical	discovery. The	reception	and	reaction	well	befit	the	dawn	of	a	new	era. To	return	to	Salk—the	Francis	influence	was	felt	again. When	the	University	of

Pittsburgh	decided	to	set	up	a	virus	laboratory	of	its	own,	Salk	was	asked	to	take

over. He	transferred	his	work	to	Pittsburgh	where	he	has	been	ever	since,	and

where	the	final	stages	of	the	vaccine	research	were	carried	on. There	may	be	no

implications	in	the	association	of	Drs. Francis	and	Salk,	but	the	sequence	and

turn	of	favorable	events	surely	points	a	finger	of	suspicion,	especially	at	the	big

business	aspect. Personally,	I	prefer	to	think	of	them	as	a	happy	combination	that

unfortunately	worked	the	wrong	side	of	the	street. The	respective	parts	each	played	in	the	huge	drama	must	remain	conjecture,	but

it	was	Salk	who	came	in	for	the	big	hero	worship. At	any	rate	both	helped	forge

another	link	in	the	chain	of	medical	advance	that	is	fast	reducing	the	human	race

to	a	state	of	medical	mesmerism. It	doesn’t	take	too	much	imagination,	with

things	going	as	they	are,	to	calamitously	view	the	supposed	success	over	the

summer	scourge	as	the	beginning	of	our	fall. The	Hygienic	perspective	naturally	rejects	the	whole	affair	and	shares	none	of

the	enthusiasm	for	this	newest	millennium. We’ve	seen	far	too	many	of	them. To

our	way	of	thinking,	all	the	vaccines	and	all	the	antibodies	they	can	arouse	do

not	answer	the	basic	questions	of	where	do	the	viruses	come	from;	why	do	they

attack	as	they	do	in	the	good	old	summertime;	and	how	do	they	get	into	the

human	body. As	I	understand	it,	medicine	has	failed	to	definitely	establish	a	true

portal	of	entry	for	the	virus,	and	this	has	brought	forth	the	further	controversy	of

endogeniety	and	exogeniety. There	are	many	theories. Some	investigators

consider	the	virus	as	an	enzyme-like	substance	with	a	deranged	cell	proclivity. Others	see	the	virus	as	a	biochemical	substance	that	goes	haywire. Others	think

oh	well,	why	go	on. Your	guess	is	a	good	as	theirs. As	far	as	we	are	concerned,

it	all	boils	down	to	this:	We	don’t	see	why	we	should	put	our	bodies	to	the	extra

effort	of	producing	antibodies,	to	combat	dead	viruses,	to	produce	artificial

immunity	to	something	we	needn’t	have	had	in	the	first	place. Frankly,	it	all

sounds	too	Quixotic. Moreover,	windmills	are	out	of	style. We	now	have

windbags	and	not	imaginary	ones	either. But	to	get	back	to	Salk. Despite	the	unquestioned	brilliance	of	his	mind,	in	our

opinion	he	is	barking	up	the	wrong	alley. The	logic	of	that	mind	cannot	make	up

for	the	incorrectness	of	its	premise. In	this	game	of	polio	research	(and	that’s

what	it	has	turned	out	to	be)	he	intercepted	the	ball	and	carried	it	across	the	line

to	a	delusive	touchdown. It	so	happens	the	goal	posts	of	victory	happened	to	be

his	own,,	and,	well—"that,	wont	win	any	games. " In	the	final	score,	if	I	may

overpower	the	aerial	astigmatics	of	Salk	and	his	team. Any	qualified	coach	or

attack	and	defense	formations	on	more	practical	considerations	than	the	color	of

his	opponents’	uniforms	or	some	similar	superficies. This	might	explain	to	him

the	fact	that	polio	cannot	be	beaten	by	concentrating	on	its	symptoms	because

they’re	simply	a	camouflage	when	evaluated	on	a	prima-facie	basis. The	Hygienist	does	not	accept	symptoms	at	their	current	face	value. He	uses

them	as	legal	tender	to	gain	entrance	to	the	deeper	vaults	of	the	human	body

wherein	the	foundation	stones	of	disease	are	more	easily	discernible. As	these

stones	are	laid	so	does	he	deduce	the	weaknesses	in	the	human	structure. In	this

nobody,	Salk	included,	can	follow	the	phantasmagoria	of	symptomatology	and
	come	to	a	true	understanding	of	any	disease	for	the	simple	reason	that	symptoms

are	only	symptoms,	not	causes. Or	is	that	too	elementary	for	men	of	Dr. Salk’s

caliber. His	error	is	not	one	of	logic	but	rather	of	the	superficial	premise	upon	which	he

launched	his	whole	research	program. Mankind’s	error	exists	in	its	being

Bollito Misto (


 Ph.D., director of The Health Center, Inc., an acupuncture and
nutrition clinic in Auburndale, Florida, expressed her amazement to me at the
effectiveness of DMSO in eliminating pain. She saw excellent results when
physicians working for The Health Center applied the substance externally to
patients. One of them was sixty-five-year-old Anna Goldeman, who had been
suffering for years with bursitis of the right shoulder. She went to The Health
Center for relief of the bursitis in November, 1980, and was gratified by the results
of DMSO treatment.
More dramatic than the patient’s alleviation of her shoulder pain was
the
easing of a discomfort that had begun four years previously. Mrs. Goldeman had
undergone amputation of the left hip high in the groin, which resulted in “phantom
limb pain.” After amputation of a limb, or a portion of it, the amputee may
experience strange sensations as though the part were still there. This feeling of
phantom pain is generally considered to be a stump hallucination. It arises from
various types of nerve stimuli, resulting in burning, tingling, pricking, tickling, or
really severe pain. Such sensations are not uncommon for an amputee and are notreadily treatable.
With application of DMSO to her right shoulder, phantom limb pain with its
constant twitching went out of Mrs. Goldeman’s left groin. She no longer sensed
that she still had an extremity. Now she could feel more at peace with her
situation.
Dr. Avery said, “We did not attempt to treat the phantom limb pain; our
physicians were concerned with the bursitis. Yet, the phantom pain disappeared
coincidentally from application of DMSO to the woman’s shoulder. Thus, what
happened is, DMSO applied to one part of the body caused phantom pain to go
away in another part of the body. And it’s permanently stayed away.”
Checking back with Dr. Avery over ten years later, I learned that Mrs.
Goldeman continues in comfort knowing that DMSO is available to cease her pain
whenever needed.

Murray Franklin, M.D., of Chicago, is a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine
at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, as well as the medical director of
the Union Health Service, the largest prepaid medical plan in the state of Illinois.
He received a supply of DMSO in the fall of 1980 and decided to try it for the
benefit of some patients for whom nothing else had worked. One of the people
receiving topical therapeutic applications was Lucas Sheinholtz, fifty-two, who had
been troubled with rheumatoid-osteoarthritis of both knees for more than a decade.
Mr. Sheinholtz, hobbling with the assistance of two canes, arrived at Dr. Franklin’s
office complex to visit another physician. The patient had previously received
many injections of cortisone, which his regular physician administered routinely.
But no appreciable improvement in his arthritis had been observed by either the
patient or his doctor.
“I suggested to the man’s physician that we might paint some DMSO on both
of his painful knees,” Dr. Franklin said. “His right knee was
swollen; the left knee
was not. The right knee was warm to the touch. The patient’s doctor agreed to a
therapeutic trial, and I applied DMSO in three applications. Since I was not fully
acquainted with how to use the solution, I allowed an application to dry and then
put it on again and again. Within fifteen to twenty minutes the patient said he felt
no pain and was able to walk practically without the use of a cane.
“He returned in one week and described his pain in the left knee as having
disappeared completely,” said Dr. Franklin. “There just wasn’t any. The pain inthe swollen right knee had returned just a little. I applied the DMSO again and the
man got a similar result within a quarter of an hour. No more pain! I haven’t seen
him since and presume he is feeling fine.”
THE NEW MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR PAIN
The people have a new medical breakthrough for pain: dimethyl sulfoxide, called
DMSO. By itself or in combination with other medical ingredients, dimethyl
sulfoxide should be useful in treating almost every disease known to mankind. The
substance, a byproduct of pulp and paper manufacturing, has been employed
safely and successfully by millions of people around the world to control swelling;
reduce discomfort; take away inflammation; slow the growth of, and in many
instances kill, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It heals burns and relieves sprains,
strains, and arthritic joints. It has worked effectively against cataracts, sports
injuries, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, tuberculosis, and even lessened mental
retardation in people with Down’s syndrome.
Cancer seems to respond well to DMSO. At Mount Sinai Hospital in New
York City, Charlotte Friend, M.D., has turned cancerous cells into harmless
normal ones in the test tube by putting them in touch with the DMSO solutions.
Thus, DMSO cancer research is in progress.
Reported in the
Journal of Clinical Oncology
, in November 1988, twenty
cancer patients with extravasation of anthracycline (destructive secretions from
tissues of the toxic chemotherapeutic agent anthracycline onto the recipient’s skin
with the potential to form cancerous ulcers) were treated on a single-arm pilot
study with topically-applied 99 percent dimethyl sulfoxide and observed for three
months with regular examinations and photographs. DMSO was applied to
approximately twice the area affected by the extravasation and allowed to air dry.
This was repeated every six hours for fourteen days. The initial signs of
extravasation included swelling, redness, and pain. The median
area of damage on
the skin of these patients was 8.25 square centimeters (cm
2
) and a median of
twenty-five minutes elapsed between extravasation and application of DMSO.
In no patient did extravasation progress to ulceration or require surgical
intervention, as is usual with this toxic chemotherapeutic agent for cancer. The
authors of this report suggest with 95 percent confidence that ulceration was likely
to have occurred in at least 17 percent of these patients. They go on to say that at
three months there was no sign of residual damage in half the patients, while apigmented indurated area remained in ten. The only side effects of DMSO
included a burning feeling on applications, subsequently associated with itch,
redness, and mild scaling. Slight blisters occurred in four patients, and six reported
a characteristic breath odor associated with oysters. The oncologists stated that
topical DMSO appears to be a safe and effective treatment for the cancer-related
condition, anthracycline extravasation.

DMSO tends to prevent the formation of scar tissue, or to dissolve it once
present. The contracture (drawing together) of scar tissue ordinarily left after a
burn doesn’t take place.
Chilean physicians have published their results of using the substance, which
indicate that it reduces the incidence of heart attacks or angina pain. It has been
credited with preventing damage to heart muscle when tested in animal
experiments. As with its use in stroke, DMSO may be lifesaving if employed early
in heart attacks. Investigation is continuing.
Studies in Chile also show DMSO to be a penetrant across the blood-brain
barrier. It carries drugs effective against certain forms of mental illness directly
into the brain.
Placed into the nostrils, DMSO can open blocked sinuses within a few
minutes.
It transports antibiotics right into the middle ear to lessen infections. It does the
same against viruses and reduces the symptoms of herpes zoster (shingles) and
herpes simplex (fever blisters). The viruses are hit with antiviral drugs by the
DMSO transport. Furthermore, the herpes II venereal disease is greatly relieved by
application of DMSO directly to the genitalia.
Periodontists in Poland have cleared up gum disease and reduced tooth decay
and their associated pain by painting DMSO on the involved areas. Some
pioneering dentists are dropping it into empty tooth sockets after extractions,
especially those for wisdom teeth. It stops post-extraction swelling.
A 1987 paper coming out of Russia described the treatment of patients having
generalized periodontitis with indomethacin in a suspension of dimethyl sulfoxide.
Periodontitis is disease of the structures supporting the teeth such as the gums,
periodontal membrane, and alveolar bone. The action of bacteria on food debris
accumulated around the margins of the gums causes the formation of plaque,
which eventually forms a hard deposit, tartar (or calculus). This accumulates in the
gingival crevices (the spaces between the gums and the surface of the teeth), which
become abnormally enlarged to form gingival pockets. It’s an early stage of
periodontal disease.In chronic gingivitis, the gums are marked by chronic inflammation, and they
become swollen and bleed easily. Calculus accumulates in the gingival pockets,
causing bleeding and ulceration. Untreated, the plaque spreads to the underlying
periodontal membrane and alveolar bone, which are

to understand your path of flight.  It’s like driving to an unknown destinat ion with directions versus driving to the

Hawk Wisdom

 /G1E/G05/G0F/G09/G06/G1F/G0C/G05/G06 – things are cooking.  Living the enchanted
way requires... desiring, su rrendering, and receiving.
Life is only a mystery to those who have forgotten the clues
and the truths of this enchan ted forest.  The trees know.
The creatures know.  The waters know.  Grounding
in Mother Earth is rooting yo ur desires.  Surrendering
is letting go all cares that they cannot or will not occur,
and swaying flexibly in the wind to simply allow their
“being.”  Receiving is simply opening your heart to
receive that which you have as ked for – in the many ways
it may come to you.
You, Dear One, are cooking with Mother Earth.  Know
that the canopy of night stars is  time for receiving in the
dream time – the essential feeling of who you are desiring  to be.  Know that the light of day, in the forest, shines
through in pockets – pockets of rich magic, wonder, and
limitless possibility.  When one road block of darkness
shows itself, simply turn towa rd another great pocket of
light.  All you need exists there.   And every part of that
forest is your friend.

 A great Native American spir it guide, an old friend of
mine, reached through the cosmic windows of time, through my consciousness, to guide me through my karmic release during my time of great challenge.  He awakened me to many of my
past gifts and some of my past wisdom.  Once called to consciousness, I was able to remember the simple joy and  gifts of the natural world.  I remembered the healing and inspirational energies of Mother Earth’s animals and creatures.  It is a sacred memory for me.    I am honored to share this chapter’s message with you.
It is a personal, and yet universa l, message.  It comes from my
friend, the red-tailed hawk.  Hawk brought his animal medicine Hawk Wisdom 91
into my life, when I needed his strength to withstand my
karmic challenges, and when I n eeded to refocus my energies
in the direction of living my life purpose.  Through Mother Earth’s enchanted forest, Source brought the energies of the non-physical world into my ph ysical world, through this
exquisite divine messenger you see resting on the front and
back covers of this book.  At

THE   SADHANA  OF   MILK
And  it  will  come  to  pass  in  that  day . . .  the  hills
shall  flow  with  milk.
Joel  3:18
The  cows  yield  butter  and  milk  inexhaustible  for
thee  set  on  the  highest  summit.
Rig  Veda,  IX  2.7
I  grew  up  in  an  idyllic  village  not  far  from  the  sea.  In
the  still  afternoons,  women  gathered  on  their  kitchen
verandas  and  sifted  through  grains  and  dhals,  or  picked
nits  off  the  hair  of  their  children.  The  young  ones
gamboled  under  the  relentless  sun  as  the  cool  breezes
wafted  over  the  surface  of  the  murky  marsh  waters.
The  occasional  half-clad  farmer  with  his  sickle  and
hoe  dotted  the  dirt  roads  on  his  way  home.  The  lithe,
ebony  milkman,  whose  feet  were  always  in  flight,
would  arrive  before  tea  and  fill  the  milk  buckets  that
were  waiting  for  him  on  the  landing  below.  The  milk
was  delivered,  buff-colored  and  foaming,  within  the
hour  of  the  milking.  It  was  never  preboiled.  Milk  was
a  vital  and  living  food  for  as  long  as  the  ancestry
could  remember.  The  cows  were  gentle  and  happy.
They  grazed  in  the  green  pastures  of  fertile  and  rich
land.  They  roamed  by  instinct,  with  their  own  rhythm.
No  one  questioned  why  they  should  seek  shelter  from
the  blazing  sun,  or  why  they  sat  and  gazed  with  those
stupendous  lotus  eyes.  It  was  the  norm  to  find  them
sleeping  in  the  middle  of  the  roads.  Bicycles  and  other
vehicles  careened  around  them  until  they  were  cov-
ered with  dust.  No  child  felt  threatened  by  the  pres-
ence of  the  cows.  They  were  part  of  the  dynamism  of our  life.  A  field  without  grazing  cows  would  have
been  inconceivable  in  those  evanescent  afternoons.
We  lived  with  a  large  extended  family.  Among
father's  many  trades  was  his  priesthood.  His  father,
who  was  from  a  prestigious  lineage  of  Brahmins,  was
one  of  the  many  transported  by  the  British  from  North
India  to  British  Guiana.  Most  of  the  villages  along  the
Corentyne  Coast  became  little  replicas  of  our  moth-
erland. The  values  of  sadhanas,  still  intact  in  India
during  the  time  of  my  grandparents'  migration,  were
maintained  with  stoic  observation.  They  were  the  heart
of  the  tradition.  Millions  of  hearts  were  broken  in
that  relatively  short  period  of  exodus.  These  ancient
customs  were  the  only  salve  for  the  bleeding  journey-
men.
Every  day  the  milk  was  boiled  three  times  and  the
cream  was  removed  to  make  fresh  yogurt,  buttermilk,
and  butter.  Ghee,  the  elixir  of  Vedic  foods  and  an
important  carrier  of  herbs  and  medicines  in  Ayurvedic
remedies,  was  made  by  a  process  of  heating  the  fresh
sweet  butter.  On  special  occasions,  the  milk  would  be
ordered  twice  daily  for  preparation  of  ceremonial  foods
for  the  various  pujas,  the  ceremonies  of  worship.  Oc-
casionally, fresh  goat's  milk  would  be  ordered  for  a
young  child  or  for  a  special  health  condition.  Even  the
most  rare  tiger's  milk  was  used  from  time  to  time  for
a  serious  health  problem.  The  tenets  of  the  Vedas
were  practiced  effortlessly  by  the  village  elders.  These
sadhanas  were  handed  down  and  perpetuated  until
the  country  was  swallowed  in  a  miasma  of  political
wars  following  her  independence  from  Britain.
Years  later,  during  my  stay  at  an  ashram  in  Penn-
sylvania, I  was  taking  my  daily  walk  past  a  cow  pas-
ture. I  saw  for  the  first  time  what  I  had  for  so  long  felt
in  my  heart:  the  abiding  grief  of  these  cows.  I  have
walked  through  the  valleys  and  shadows  of  death  twice
in  my  life  and  never  have  I  witnessed  such  gargantuan
grief.  How  can  we  in  the  West  hope  to  rationalize  or
address  the  present  state  of  unwholesomeness  of  milk
as  a  food?  The  primary  issue  we  must  confront  is  the
holocaust  of  these  animals.
In  the  last  two  decades,  many  humane  voices  have
risen  in  an  attempt  to  eliminate  the  brutalities  to
which  cows  are  subjected  in  the  dairy  and  beef  indus-
tries. These  crimes  against  life  and  freedom  are  per-

 or
something.
The interest in the evolution of one’s own consciousness—how it’s
evolved over time, how it expressed itself in ancient times—is still present
in today’ s world. There are peop le who are still mystics in this world, who
speak from the Self. Curiosity leads to learning. That’ s how the little
amoeba stays alive. It has to constantly search around and find something to
eat or it’s not going to be here. People do get addicted to the accumulation
of knowledge for its own sake. And that’s probably just a phase  that people
go through, and sooner or later, one begins to realize that it has to be put
into actual practice and then just be intellectually conversant. That’ s just
part of the evolution of one’ s spiritual awareness.
First you accumulate the inform ation, then, you pursue the infor mation to
experience for yourself the truth of it. People often start out with intellectual
curiosity, and they’ll buy just about any and every book they can on
spirituality. I went through that phase myself. I had a whole wall of books
on everything you can think about: pseudo spirituality, true spiritualty,
psychic reading s, people on the other side, channelings, and God knows
what else. And then discernmen t arose over the years. So, there’ s a curiosity—sort of a wide-eyed amazement that there are realms that you weren’ t
even aware of. You can go through formal schooling and never be aware
that there’ s anything other than the logical, linear under the concrete. And
suddenly you become aware that there are whole dimensions.
SURRENDERING THE SMALL SELF
The personal will is trying to accomplish something as a very specific
goal. It usually has to do with gain or dominance or control in some way.
The spiritual world is more in the field of surrender. Now the personal will
is only as strong  as one’s level of consciousness. So sometimes  people will
want to accomp lish something  by personal will, and that would require
much more power than the personal will. Let’s say you live at
consciousness level 190, and now through personal will, you’re going to try
to overcome a certain thing, but you don’t have enough  power at
consciousness level 190. When you get up to consciousness level 500 or so,
now you would have the power to overcome it, but you haven’ t got enough
horsepower in the engine to do it at that level. Therefore, align ing yourself
with a more powerful field is what people do.
For exam ple, let’s look at addict ion. While the addiction may take you all
the way down to consciousness 90, to surrender to God’ s will is something
that you don’t have the strength to do yourself. A person takes you to an
AA meeting, which calibrates at 540. At the consciousness level of 540, the
person says, “Well, you could let go of the addiction if you wanted to.” And
suddenly it dawns on you, that’s true. It isn’t could you, it’s would you.
When people have trouble making spiritual decisions, here’ s another
example I give them. Somebo dy says, “I can’t possibly forgive my ex-
brother -in-law for what he did to me.” And I’ll say, “Now, if I have a.45
loaded next to your temple, and if you don’t forgive him, I’m going to blow
your brains out. Could you for give him?”
“Oh yes, I could.” So, I say, “Well, that clearly differentiates the could
from would.” And mostly what people think is could, is just that they
wouldn’ t. They’re unwilling to do it. If you’re willing to forgive anybody,
you can forgive anybody for anything. It’s the will. So surrendering the will
to God is important; you see, divine will calibrates extremely high, at about
850. Your personal will, near 190, is something different. When you
surrender your will to God, now you can accomplish the miraculous. It isn’tyou that accomplishes it—you’ve surrendered the small self to the large
Self. The large Self counts on the will of God to accomplish its goals, and
therefore is capable of performi ng the miraculous. And when you get to a
certain level of consciousness, the miraculous becomes continuous. What
people think is miraculous is really just our innocence.
When you get to a certain level—around 570 or 580—the miraculous
becomes ordina ry. You hold the thing in mind and it manifests, and you
don’t go: “Oh, isn’t that amazing?” That’ s the way it all happens. It all
unfolds based on how it’s being held in mind. And it’s because the Self,
with the capital S, can accomplish what the small self cannot do, even
though its life depends on it. People try and they actually die in the attempt.
They do not have the power. Because force results in counter force, and
surrender pulls you in a powerfu l context. When you say, “God,  I of myself,
am unable to do a certain thing, and I ask you if it is your will, that it be
accomplished,” and then you surrender it, at that point, you really surrender
it. You don’ t keep insisting that God do it or not do it.
At that point, you relinquish  the personal will. And that which you
thought was going to be impossible, now comes about in the most
miraculous and unbelievable way. And if you put a string of miraculous
experiences together, a skeptic would have a hard time trying to figure out
how best to explain such a number of phenomena. And when the phase of
the siddhis appears, the miracu lous is numberless and almost continuous.
One would wonder how to explain this from the viewpoint of pedestrian
logic, and the simplicity of scientific thinking. How is it that in the entire
parking paradox  of New York City, the only parking space suddenly opens
up just as you drive up?
Well, that’s the way it was for years. What’ s the probability of that?
Practically nothi ng. That was followed by something else. We followed one
phenomenon after another in which its statistical probability is nil. And
when we put them together—the nil plus nil plus nil, plus nil—we wonder
how to explain this phenomena.
You might not know where you’re going and start driving to a strange
town, and pull up right exactly to the place you wanted to go— because all
you did is hold it in mind. I used to do that all the time: just held in mind
Florida, all around lakes that I didn’ t know, one lake from another. I
automatically drove exactly where I wanted to go, with no map and no
knowledge of the territory.So that’s just one example, but those things are continuous. There’ s a
phase where it goes on for years, the unfolding of everything is continuous.
You need a pair of pliers, so you look out the window of the truck and not
only is there a pair of pliers laying there by the road, but they’re a brand-
new pair of pliers. Laying there within an arm’s reach—they’re brand new.
And you don’t even say “wow” anymore, because this is the way life has
become. You’re hungry, and around the next turn there’ s a hambur ger joint.
There you are. Life becomes one hambur ger joint after another.
BECOMING THE WITNESS
It’s very easy to see that everything is happening spontaneo usly, that
even your thinkingness is happening all on its own. You think that you’re
deciding what you’re going to think, but you’re not, so you get detached
from your own thinkingness, the same as the world. You see that the world
around you is moving without your help. All these people are managing to
survive without you helping them to be here, and move, and talk. And so
what you do is you get detached and you begin to become the witness. To
become the witness is not a difficult step; it’s only a matter of letting go of
the narcissistic self-indulgence of thinking that there’ s an I causing things.
Nothing is causing anything. There are no causes in the world.
There are only consequences. And so what you do is you let go of
identifying with the linear, and you realize that your reality is nonlinear.
You see that which is witnessing, and then behind that which is witnessing,
that which is aware that you’re witnessing—and already you’ve removed
yourself from out there and from the individual, personal I, and from the
guilt and anxiety  of being the cause of all that happens. You’ve moved into
the condition of humility. With profound humility, you’ll see that you’re not
the cause of anything, which is welcome news because that means you’re
also not guilty of anything. Something happens, and you say, “I don’t know,
the mind did it. The mind did it. I can’ t help it, the mind did it!”
So, to become the witness then, you become aware of the spon taneity of
evolution, and you begin to witness. All phenomena are the evolution of
creation. Creatio n has a source, but


 as coffee, tea, alcohol,
tobacco, chocolate, drugs, etc.; also various environmental stresses. In consequence,
this is the very beginning of a pathological process, which can lead to cancer. The
first step is of course, enervation.  This is followed by the second step, toxemia.  This
progresses to inflammation or irritation.  It is these initial three steps which are usually missed by the doctor, since he is basically unaware of the sequence of events in the
evolution of disease. Thus, most people are usually well into disease, where frank damage is already done, before the doctor finally sees "something." The fourth step is
ulceration,  which leads to the fifth step, fibrosis  (hardening with fibrous tissue). The
sixth step, of course, is cancer.
   One of the most misunderstood of conditions is the "common cold." It seems
scientists and doctors are searching for the ever-evasive virus, which is supposed to
cause it. What is a "cold"? It is nothing more than the body ridding itself of its toxic
load so it does not build up in; the system to cause more serious and debilitating problems. This is why all the mucous me mbranes are involved ( nose, throat, lungs,
intestines, etc.). These membranes are elim inating the toxic materials. Many times,
these viruses thrive in this medium and can complicate the condition--but secondarily,
and usually in an unhealthy individual. A cold is a vital capacity,  the body's effort to
cleanse itself. How many times have you heard someone remark about "so and so" was only 45 or 50 years old, never had a sick day in his life, and suddenly dropped
dead from a heart attack. If "so and so" might have gotten a few colds, he might not have had that heart attack. He didn't die suddenly. He was dying for years.
   I observe old people in convalescent homes. There's much pride there when it is
shown that "they don't get colds." Of course they don't! Most of them do not have the
vital capacity to get a cold. So this build-up in the body (toxemia or self-poisoning) of
metabolic waste, etc., manifests itself in other ways, such as the chronic, debilitating
diseases most of them are vegetating from, and to which many of them succumb.
   Be thankful when you get a cold. Rest in bed, fast a few days just drinking water (or
take small amounts of fresh-made fruit juices  and preferably vegetable juices if you
must). Don't suppress the fever with aspiri n; the fever is remedial. Don't suppress the
symptoms with various drugs. This is why complications occur, such as pneumonia, because the body is always interfered with. In fact, much disease is remedial, but continual interference with drugs prolongs the disease or complicates matters, and when the body gets well, it gets well not because of the drugs or medicines, but in
spite of them.
   Natural Hygiene is a plan of living which, briefly, is comprised of such things as the
use of pure water; breathing pure air; maintenance of emotional poise; getting plenty
of sunshine and rest; the avoidance of anything harmful to the body, such as coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate, white sugar, white flour, salt, meat, drugs and
medicines, chemical food additives, soda, canned and processed foods, etc. Also
included is proper use of exercise (depending on one's physical limitations),
vegetarian diet (but if a completely meatless diet is not your choice, there is still a
great deal to learn about how to improve your present diet and state of health and
health of your family), and of course the all-important fast.
   Immunity and resistance are enhanced by breast feeding. But since so many young
mothers are discouraged from breast feeding and encouraged to use formulas and not
given a knowledge of proper nutrition, this is how these natural immunities and
resistances become lowered and the infant becomes the "average" child who gets the
usual childhood diseases and worse. He (or she) is fed the usual diet of mostly
cooked, processed, and devitalized foods. Bab y cereal (starch) is fed in infancy when there is no capacity to digest this starch, so it putrefies and the infant is virtually
poisoned by it in addition to acquiring colic and spitting up. Until the infant gets his teeth to chew and properly insalivate the starch, he should not be fed any. In so-called
backward countries, when the infant is to be fed a starch, the innate wisdom of the
mother induces her to chew it thoroughly and mix it with her saliva and pre-digest it
(her saliva has the enzyme ptyalin for starch breakdown) before putting it into the infant's mouth.
   The juicer and blender become most valuable assets because fresh fruit and
vegetable juices can be made with the juicer, while with the blender, pure and unadulterated baby food (both raw and cooke d) can be made from fresh fruits and
vegetables. My wife has often confided to me that if I were to write a book on the
proper nutrition of children, she would want me to trace much of the illness today
back to the kitchen of "good old mom," because it is basically her responsibility and obligation.
   I would like to elaborate on two phases of Natural Hygiene so you will have a
clearer understanding of what appears to be unorthodox and controversial only because of misunderstandings and close-mindedness, yet are as natural and
physiologically sound as any laws of nature can be: (1) fasting, and (2) proper nutrition and food combining.
   Fasting is complete and total abstinence from all food, with the exception of water,
where the body supports itself on the stored reserves within its tissues. It is important to make the differentiation between fasti ng and starvation, because many people use
these two terms interchangeably in error. Starvation begins when the fast is carried
beyond the time when these stored reserves are used up or have dropped to a
dangerously low level and the vital organs begin to be consumed by the body for food, and death becomes imminent.
   There are several reasons for fasting: (1) Weight reduction. In cases of overweight
individuals, weight reduction is an added benefit even when not the sole or even the main reason for the fast; (2) To conserve the energies of the body so they may be
diverted to whatever the body is trying to accomplish; (3) To secure physiologic rest.
This is rest of the digestive, glandular, circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems.
It is during this physiologic rest (fasting) that the body is able to repair its damaged
organs; and, (4) Elimination. Nothing known to man equals the fast as a means of increasing the elimination of waste from the blood and tissues. As the fast continues
and more of the toxic load is thrown out, the system becomes purified and one improves health or recovers health.
   There are three important facts to note:  (1) Because of its intracellular (within the
cells) enzymes, the body is capable of digestion of its own proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates; (2) The body is fully capable of controlling the self-digesting process
(autolysis) and rigidly limits it to non-esse ntial and less essential tissues. Even in
starvation, when the vital tissues begin to be consumed, there is rigid control as these
tissues are drawn upon in an inverse proportion to their relative importance; and (3)
The body is capable of utilizing the end products of this autolytic (self) disintegration
to nourish its most vital and most essential parts.    Water is lost first. Energy first comes from combustion of carbohydrates, then fat
reserves, then tissue protein. Even after a prolonged fast, nitrogen excretion shows a
pronounced fall, the nitrogen being retained for reconstruction of tissue protein. The
nitrogen excreted early in the fast is derived from the mobilization of reserve protein.
The excretion of sodium, potassium, calcium, and other minerals is reduced after the
first few days of fasting, and normal blood levels are then maintained showing evidence that they are conserved.
   The body regenerates itself constantly a nd the daily renewal of its cells and tissues
prevents old age and death for a considerable time in spite of abuses committed against it. The process of regeneration stays ahead of the process of degeneration as a
result of fasting, so a higher level of health is thus reached. Man cannot live for many
generations or shrink down and then grow into a young man, but there is, to an extent,
a renewal of man's body.
   Hawk, Oser, and Summerson state: "Abstinence from food for a short time can in no
way operate to the disadvantage of a normal person. In fact, individuals affected with
certain types of gastrointestinal disorders are benefitted by fasting. Fasting has also
been used in cases of diabetes and obesity."
   Fasts of long duration (beyond four or five days to a week) should be properly
supervised by competent professional hygienic practitioners (be they medical,
osteopathic, or chiropractic physicians). It is vitally important to break a long fast
correctly to avoid any potential hazards to the body. Fasting


 a core contributor to “I have to get sick to get what I want.”
After she taps, she’ll find her emotions about hospitals and her enmity
toward doctors has changed, and she no longer feels the need to make
herself weak and no longer gets sick when she is going after something shewants. If she starts to head down that road, she recognizes that she’s just
having another aspect, and taps on it.
What happens to you emotionally when you get sick or experience pain?
It’s useful to apply tapping to all the feelings, thoughts, self-talk, and beliefs
you can come up with around sickness and pain. When you learn to tap
away these old fears, you can take sickness in stride as part of life, and you
will generally recover much faster. Your whole life might change for the
better.
Pain and Sickness, Secondary Gain, Belief Systems
Secondary gain, or the “upside” of being sick is a common experience. Ask
yourself what’ s the upside of illness? What’ s the downside of getting well?
What would have to change if you got well? What is it that’s useful to you
when you are sick that you won’t have when you are well? Explore the
upside with regard to your illness. Jenny had an upside: she got attention
and wasn’ t teased by family members.
In Lois’ s case, secondary gain nearly sidelined her marriage to the partner
of her dreams. In my own case, I came to understand after tapping and
healing from my own fibromyalgia that one of my deep-seated
subconscious beliefs was that when I was sick, I got love. No one expected
anything of me, I wasn’ t teased, and I got Mom’ s full attention. Evidently, I
understood on some unconsciou s level “I need to be sick to get love. I need
to be sick to be safe.” That’ s secondar y gain—or the upside. It’s not
conscious but it’ s operating on the unconscious level. Y ikes!
So is it really true that the only time I am lovable is when I am sick?
That’ s a major damper on my life! Obviously that’s not true today nor was
it back then. This is the problem  with our limiting beliefs—they aren’ t even
true, but we just do our level best to make them true for us at the expense of
true possibility and joy. From an EFT perspective, my limiting thoughts
were associated with the energy disruption I experienced a long time ago
based on a core issue around being sick and being hospitalized. I hadinternalized this belief system as true, even though it wasn’ t objectively true
and had carried this through my entire life. Logically this belief system
wasn’ t true, but it felt true emotionally.
I unrave led the energy disruption relating to this deep-seated belief by
looking at the events or table legs that were holding up this tabletop belief
system, and tapping on enough of them to collapse the entire tabletop. Even
so, once in a while I’ll start to feel overwhelmed or feel sick in the “old”
way. This is an immediate cue for me to start tapping on another aspect of
this belief system. How do I find the aspect? I simply look at what’ s been
going on in my life since I started to feel the sick feeling, and tap. When
intensity arises, instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut
off (as my grandmother used to say) and falling back into old unhelpful
patterns, use these moments to tap and clear out another aspect. Watch for
these moments of stress and being overwhelmed for just this reason.
Another issue that used to arise  for me was the tension I would start to
feel in my neck and shoulders when my schedule for the coming week
started to look overly full, even when it was clearly (logically) manageable
for me. I’d turn away business and be fearful that it was too much  for me in
my condition (whatever the particular condition was that week). Is it any
wonder that by midweek, I’d feel rundown and sometimes even  get sick? I
realized that I had a belief system: “ If I have what I perceive to be too much
on my plate, I won’ t be able to handle it, so I should get sick because then I
won’ t have to handle too much.” It makes no logical sense, a hallmark of
B.S. (belief systems). In fact with clients I’ll often ask them to repeat their
belief systems slowly and write them down word for word because they
make no literal sense. I often repeat what they said back to them, and they
begin to realize when hearing their words that what they are saying is not
making any sense. That’ s headway!
Watch for the times when you feel overwhelm ed or stressed, because
these are the moments when you can easily slip into your old default belief
systems that don’t work for you anymore. If you are having one of these BS
moments, don’ t despair. Try adapting phrases like these:Even though I’m doing it again, I shower myself with love and
compassion.
Even though my shoulder ’s starting to go south again, I accept myself
and how I feel right now.
Even though I’m scared I’ll get sick again if (list the issue here), I
deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I’ve just stepped into that old hole again, it’s getting a lot
easier to climb out of, now that I know how.
Even though I’ve got this belief system that says ….
Even though having this experience just triggered me right back into
feeling like that helpless, hopeless, scared little girl, I’m remembering
that I’m all grown up and am safe and sound.
Each one of the above statements is actually one round of EFT. What
would your own EFT setup statements be? Practice writing a few that
capture the moment.
The more you use EFT to target your own fears relating to sickness or
pain, the more you begin to unde rstand that you are, right now, okay, and
that the pain or sickness is not all of who you are. This insight may be key
for those living with a serious illness or recovering from a serio us accident.
Sometimes it feels living through a Zen koan, like you need to go on and
yet your situation is impossible—tap on that.
Sudden Injury, Accidents, Surgery
Now we’ll briefly explore using tapping  to resolve pain and trauma from
minor cuts to traumatic car crashes or accidents. Although I won’ t cover
assaults in this text, it is common for those who tap on the emotional issues
underlying serious traumatic events such as childhood sexual assault,
violent crime, or the sudden loss of a loved one, to see many (in some
cases, all) physical symptoms, especially pain, clear. These are also the
same target population for which the doctors can allegedly do nothing for,in many cases. In my belief system, there is no such thing as a lost cause or
a tough case. While tapping doesn’t do surgery, it can put you at ease as you
are about to go into surgery so your nervous and immune system s aren’ t on
high alert. Tapping can also minimize pain and shorten recovery periods
post surgery. EFT can also work  on burn relief. Remember the story about
the boiling hot water I dropped on my foot in Chapter 1? To go a bit more
into detail, the boiling wet heat immediately saturated my heel, toes, and
left foot, traveling up my ankle. I whimpered to my friend to come help,
and as I struggled to get my sock off, the pain seared deep into my foot. I
tapped on every  aspect I could think of, simply focusing on the sensations
and feelings as each arose. Even tapping on the feelings of one with no
words works as you are wholly engaged in the topic.
Here are some phrases:  “Even though this really really really hurts so bad
…,”“OHH! OWW!” “I can’t believe I did that!” “Ouch, hurts! Ouch,
hurts!” “Really, really hurts!”
The pain shifted from off-the-c harts to a deeper, burning feeling, and I
shifted my focus along with it. When it turned to an ache and a throb, I
shifted again, and so on, through  each sensation. I tapped on everything that
came to mind, including the surprise, the shock, my own disbelief that I had
done that, as well as self-talk about how stupid that was and what a loser I
was (thanks, inner critic, for helping me return and zap a core limiting
belief in my life). The good news, however, is that I kept tapping.
After perhaps ten minutes, the person I was with and I both observed the
pain decreasing rapidly with each tapping round. I then provided
reassurance to my foot: “The accident is over and we survived. It’s okay to
go back to normal. You (my foot) are safe and sound. We are safe. You can
go back to normal right now. I’m asking my immune system to send healing
and soothing to my foot. I’m asking the mucus membranes of the body to
soften and coat the area that is inflamed, soothing and cooling the whole
area. I want my immune system to know that we don’t have to have burns,
red marks, and the like; that the pain is over and done with and I’m
