 distinguished from the rejected lower 40 per cent of the diseased group. The selection of men for the Navy is much more exacting. In the New York area, the
rejections for application for service in th e Navy run as high as 73 percent (1941). The
requirements in Army and Navy for the relatively higher degree of health than exists
among the population as a whole focuses general attention on these active members of
our defense (Army and Navy) group. However, the need for good health among the workers in industrial plants at home is just as important in order that the machines with
which to wage war may be put in the hands of the soldiers and sailors. The factory must be equipped not only with tools and jigs, but with men who have
expert hands, good eyes, and competent brains. The health of the army of workers who
produce the munitions, the instruments of precision on airplanes, the chemists who
manufacture the explosives, the engineers who work out the dynamics of engines, and
all the other workers in the industrial army  are the very root and foundation of our
defense in a fighting world. The necessity for picking an army of men who will be free
from disease and who have as great endurance as possible under the stress and strain of
Army campaigns is obvious. All these qualities  should be present in the same degree in
the home army and in the group of agricultural workers who are producing the food. In our loose thinking regarding war and the preparations for war, we have come to
believe that the most important munitions  are guns, battleships, bombs, tanks, and
airplanes. However, there is one of the munitions of war which is of much greater importance than any of these. This one munition which should be put at the head of the
list is food. Many years ago Napoleon said that an army travels on its belly. This is as
true today as it was in the time of Napoleon or Caesar. No army travels well and no
industrial home army performs well unless it is well fed. Attention to the production of
good food means more in defense and offense th an any other one thing. A well-fed man,
like a well-fed dog, is aggressive and pugnacious. The poorly fed man or dog is weak
and cowardly. This principle has been adopted by the ruling power in Europe at the
present time (1943), since it has been made a crime punishable by death to spread information in regard to nutrition in Norway, Belgium, Holland, and all other conquered
countries. The victorious Germans do not wish to have the conquered peoples well
nourished. They wish them broken in body and spirit. They wish to keep them weak and
cowardly. They wish to keep them in that state of malnutrition which is not too great, but which will make them serve better the purpose of their masters as slaves. CHAPTER VII
CANCER--ITS TREATM ENT AND PREVENTION
   The problem of cancer has attracted more and more attention during the last few
decades since it has been definitely known that this disease is on the increase in every civilized country in the world. There are othe r diseases that have increased. These are
insanity, heart diseases, diabetes, and the anemias. Cancer has attracted more attention than these other diseases because of the fact the victims of this disease in its advanced
stage are spectacular in the amount of pain produced by the disease, and the degree to
which the cancer victims make themselves di sagreeable to those who must live in the
same house with them, on account of the stinking nature of the disease. This disease was known to the ancients as the "stinking death." The bad odor is
brought about by the fact that when the cancer attains a certain size, it begins to die. The
dead part of the cancer is attacked by th e microorganisms which are always present and
ready to attack any dead flesh. The poison from this rotting material eventually kills the
person on whom the cancer grows. As cancer is a dynamic growth which is eagerly
pushing itself forward into the deeper structures in whatever anatomical location it may
be, it becomes a parasitic invader whose head is burrowing deeper, while its tail is dying
or dead. All different degrees of life exist between the invading front line of cancer cells and the zone which presents itself as a sloughing, stinking area, and which, being
invaded by saphrophytes, is a rotten and decaying mass of cells. Cancer, then, is feared to a greater exte nt than any other disease of modern times. Many millions of dollars have been spent on cancer research. The United States government conducts an institution for that purpose. Many fraudulent cures are put forth. Some of these attract a good deal of attention
before they are finally demonstrated to be frauds. A few years ago a well-known physician on the Pacific Coast convinced a great newspaper publisher that he had a cure
for cancer. The supposed cure was widely publicized, but created untold misery for the
victims who flocked to San Francisco from different points, only to be met with
disappointments. Previous to this, a doctor in Toronto had invented a cancer cure from
horse serum, and about this time a Detroit physician brought out a cancer care which
was some kind of an obscure chemical compound. In these two later cases the intent to e xploit cancer patients was quite evident, because
of the fact in each case the little ampule containing 15 drops of the medicine sold at
around $300. Even with the mercenary and fraudulent nature of these quack remedies so
obvious, the hope for some magic cure was so great that not only did the laity respond
by demanding these medicines but many millions of dollars were sent by physicians for the magic ampules. In any disease such as cancer which is painful and incurable, the desire and prayer of
the wrong-thinking public have always been for a cure. In many of these diseases a
more logical desire would be for prevention. Physicians and laymen alike desired a cure
for malaria and for syphilis, for tuberculosis and for typhoi d fever. In the case of
syphilis and malaria, specific chemicals have been found that improve the condition of
the person afflicted with the disease, but perhaps never effect a cure. In both these
diseases, one can see if an effective met hod of prevention had been worked out, the ultimate result for the race would be much better. Prevention would leave the individual
and the race entirely free from the disease. Th e imagined care leaves the individual with
some parts of his body permanently damaged, and he still is a potential disease carrier, with only relative improvement in his condition. The great mass of humanity is still in a
position where it may still get the disease. In the case of tuberculosis, preventive measures have cut down the incidence of the
disease. Each year die number of cases of t uberculosis is less. The disease has not been
completely prevented, because even yet the idea of proper nutrition has not yet
permeated to the masses. As far as the prevention of tuberculosis is concerned, an
improvement has taken place. An increase in the amount of the particular food elements which contain vitamins A and D has contributed to this partial prophylaxis. A better
appreciation of the beneficial effects of sunshine and fresh air has helped to furnish
more vitamin D to growing children. The improvement in connection with tuberculosis
has not been in any way related to specific cure. It has been only an improvement in one
phase of nutrition--a building up of general resistance so that the tubercular bacillus
does not find such a fertile field in children's lungs and glands as it formerly did. An
extension of knowledge along this line would result in a complete disappearance of human tuberculosis. Another factor which must be taken into consideration is the exposure of children to
mass infection. A few years ago there were more tubercular cows, and therefore children consumed more tubercular milk. The improvement in nutrition and the
lessening of exposure to infectious organisms have both contributed to improvement in the situation. In connection with typhoid fever, another basic principle has brought about the
disappearance of a very common and often fata l disease. In this case, the disease was
eliminated by administering a specific vaccine. By injecting the vaccine, a person is
rendered immune. The immune person will not  contract typhoid fever even though he
swallows contaminated milk or water which contains great quantities of typhoid germs. The point we wish to emphasize here is that the good results obtained in ridding the
human race of typhoid fever have been obtained by a method which is infinitely more
valuable to humanity than would be a specific cure for the established disease. The
methods used to bring about a reduction in the number of cases of tuberculosis have
served a much better purpose than could possibly result from the discovery of a specific
cure. Doctors and laymen formerly wished a nd prayed for a cure for tuberculosis and
typhoid. The answer has been something better than a cure--prevention. We may say that syphilis and malaria have been brought under control. They have not
been prevented. The situation in regard to these two diseases is not as satisfactory as
with tuberculosis and typhoid, where preventive measures have brought about the safety
of the individual from the danger incurred by even the first stages or the beginnings of the disease. When we correlate these facts with the situation as it exists today in
connection with cancer, we must conclude that much of the effort in the past has been
wasted effort. We must conclude that the efforts now being made in research
institutions, governmental and


 the mind,  must be solved on a diﬀerent plane, beyond
the physical. OceanofPDF.comRecently a young woman in her late twenties, a part-time
model, came  to my oﬀice  in Boston. After years of hiding
the fact that she had an eating disorder, her family had
ﬁnally persua ded her to seek treatment. Since adolescence
she had been obsessed with her ﬁgure, and over time this
concern had become more and more abnormal until it
blossomed into a double sickness, anorexia nervosa and
bulimia. Looking at this attractive, bright woman, who to all
appearances was normal, I was not lulled into thinking that
her problem was easy. Despite extensive resea rch and
publicity in recent years, both anorexia and bulimia remain
highly puzzling. Why should young wome n, many of them
well educated and from high-income backgrounds, nurture
an uncontro llable obsession with diet and weight? Anorexics develop a fear of food and a horror at the act of
eating. Conﬁned to a rigidly ritualized pattern of behavio r
that leads them to voluntary starvation, they will deny that
they are too thin, even to the point of death.The companion disease, bulimia, can be separate from
anorexia or can coexist with it, as in this woman’s case. In
bulimia, the horror of food takes a weird turn in the form of
bingeing. The secret food binges that a bulimic goes on are
often enorm ous—anywhere from 2,000 to 50,000  calories
at a sitting (2,000 calor ies is enough food to sustain a
vigorous 150-pound perso n for a day). This huge amount of
food is then vomited back up, causing tremendous stress on
the digestive system and the body as a whole. This particul ar woman’s  disorder had advanced to the
point where she was vomiting every day in order to
maintain the normal but still low weight needed  for her
work. The very sight of a dessert, she told me, caused her
to break out in a cold sweat and sent her heart racing. She
was extremely intelligent and listened closely when I said
that at the root of her disorder was a mistake in her self-
image. Because our society is obsessed with the ideal of
thinness, many women try to live up to an inner image of
their bodies that is simply not right for their physical
makeup. In her case, however, the image was not saying, “I
have to be thin.” It was saying, “I can never be thin
enough.”
To explain this paradoxical illness, one has to drop the
distinction between mind and body and think of one
system, the “bodymind.” This is because an eating disorder
is a holistic disease, the cruel opposite of holistic health. In
anorexics, the distorted idea, “I must be thinner,” takes
over the bodymind like a malevolent and elusive phantom. Even after long hospitalization and exhaustive psychiatric
treatment, the patient rarely eats like a normal person. A
normal person would have to struggle to starve himself—
once the body went past a certain point of deprivation, its
hunger signa ls would take precedence over everyt hing else
in the bodymind, until the desire for food became
overpowering. For someone with anorex ia, the same thinghappens but in reverse—the compulsion to avoid eating is
all but irresistible. As I was talking about this, the young woman looked at
me sorrowfully and whispered, “So there really are such
things as ghosts, aren’t there?”
I was startled, and after a moment I answered, “It’s true,
but this ghost can be exorcised.” What we were talking
about is a ghost of memory, a memory picked up and stored
in the body. Memory sounds very abstract, while food is
very concrete. But the memory is far more real in this case. Whether a person is compulsively too thin or too fat does
not depend primarily on how much food he takes in. This is
true for conditions that are less bizarre than anorexia. For
centuries, obesity has been seen as a ﬂaw in character,
which religious ages called the sin of gluttony. The
implication was that if fat people were just strong enough
and used a little self-discipline, they could be as thin as the
rest of us simply by eating less. Now it is generally recognized that for the chronically
obese, diets  do not solve the problem (just as, at the
opposite extreme, ﬁlling an anorexic with food does not
solve that problem), because the brain of a fat person is
actually sending out overpowering signals for too much
food. How these messages are triggered and how to turn
them around  are open questions. Unless some  degree of
control is gained at a very deep level, obese people can
spend their whole lives forcing themselves to diet, a self-
defeating tactic that only makes the mental distortion
worse. The loss of 10 pounds is registered in their brains as
a famine, and the next time food is oﬀered, the brain will
not stop until 15 pounds is put back on, adding an extra 5
as a safety margin against the next famine. Obese people
have been known to gain weight on diets where no extra
calories are oﬀered beyond the bare minimum to sustain
basal metabolism. The reason for this is that the brain canactually alter the metabolism in such a way that the
calories are stored as fat instead of being burned up as
fuel. No one knows why the intellect is so powerless to change
these distortions in self-image. The ghost gets stronger the
more you ﬁght it. Although anorexics will persistently deny
that they have a proble m, once the doctor pierces this
defense, it is clear that a profound split in the bodymind is
involved, with one part of the system struggling to maintain
rationality while another sends up wildly irrational
impulses. I once spent an hour counseling another anorexic woman
in her thirties who weigh ed less than 80 pounds, had given
birth at that weight, and was going into rapid physical
decline (10 percent of anorexics die from deliberate
starvation or from causes related to malnutrition). Her case
was made particularly bizarre by the fact that she loved
nothing better than going home to cook for her large Italian
family, doling out pasta and olive oil to a dozen brothers,
sisters, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Our conversation had been rather eerily reasonab le until
she suddenly snapped at me, “Do you really think you can
talk me out of this? I alrea dy understand the whole thing
perfectly, you know, and it hasn’t done me a damn bit of
good. Leave me alone. This is how I have to eat.”
She glared at me with unconcealed hostility. “Tell me,”
she demanded, “how many people do you cure of smoking
by talking to them? They know what nicotine  does and the
danger of lung cancer and all that. It doesn’t do them any
good to talk, and you won’t do me any good, either.”
I sat back, feeling the cold blasts of despair and the hot
blasts of hatred in what she had said. How horrible to have
to live with both, in a weird, poisonous tangle. “The real question isn’t whether I can help you, is it?” I
pointed out after she calmed down. “It’s whether you canhelp yourself.” She started to soften just a little, and I
added gently, “You know, you’re not hurting me by not
eating. You’re not hurting anyone real at all, but someone
who is an image. It is all inside you, and that is the part
that is so tough, both for you as a person and for me as
your doctor.”
This story does not have an immediate happy ending. Certainly my patient was right about the futility of talking
about her disease. She remains  a very hostile, confused
person, and my best hope  is that joining a peer group with
other anorexics and bulimics will help. To get her to
exorcise the ghost of memory, she will have to reach the
level where the ghost lives. Until the ghost is gone, patients
like her do not feel that they have a disease—they  are their
disease. I mean this quite literally. What happen s to you when you
see a snake  and jump out of its way? The frightened
thought, Look out, a snake! comes  to mind at exactly the
same instant  as adrenaline makes you jump. Usually the
thought and the action are so closely tied together that the
conscious thought doesn’t even have time to say its words
—you just see the snake and you jump. So there is no space
where you can drive in a wedge between the two. In the
case of an anorexic, the mere sight of food sets up a wave
of revulsion. Perhaps the sight and smell of a fresh loaf of
bread sends the thought, Ugh, I can’t eat this, while at the
same time the stomach turns, the salivary glands dry up


 is giving up, being resistant to change. "I' d rather die than change"
Pimples are about stagnation, where are you stallin g being true to yourself. Heart attacks are squeezing all the joy out of your  heart in favour of money or
position, etc

[Summary]

As per the provided context, here lies my attempt at condensing essential elements without losing vital data integrity. **Introduction**

Quantum physics plays crucial roles in determining individual outcomes concerning healthcare and development goals ("Healing Self"). Author emphasizes importance of mental focus towards successful rehabilitation processes during illnesses/life challenges ('determination leads achievement'). One must prioritize optimal vitality restoration using pure intent instead relying solely upon conventional therapy methods. Understanding these facts allows readers access diverse perspectives enriching knowledge bases toward better decision-making capacities. **Cell Regeneration
New research demonstrates biological systems undergo rapid regeneration – almost instantly replace entire bodily structures. Additionally, researchers confirm molecular exchanges occur between organisms. '

‣ **Emotional Residue Impacts Cellular Dynamics**: Emotional energies affect physiological manifestations directly influencing holistic expressions resulting in either positive/negative consequences depending exclusively on subconscious patterns driving experiences. '

These findings lead us closer together untangling intricate relationships between psychological phenomena (`thoughts`) neurochemical reactions(`molecule production`). Consequently,'mind-body integration exists globally. '```

 There are not thousands of
different diseases, but only one disease: malfunctioning cells. Put simply, if the cells
that make up your body are healthy, then you are healthy. Take care of your cells by
providing them with all the nutrients they need, keep them free of injurious toxins,
and disease will not happen. That concept is what this book is all about. Never Be Sick Again
is health made simple, written by someone who figured it out
the hard way. In 1985, author Raymond Francis (a chemist and a graduate of MIT)
suffered a near-fatal health condition. He used his knowledge of biochemistry to
save his own life, and during his recovery, Francis asked himself fundamental
questions like, “Why do people get sick?” and, “How can disease be prevented or
reversed?” The answers to these questions are the essence of Francis’s new theory:
One disease, two causes
of disease and
six pathways
between health and disease. Explained in easy-to-understand language, this concept of health and disease is
scientifically grounded in cutting-edge cellular biochemistry and molecular biology. Never Be Sick Again
is the distilled wisdom of hundreds of books, thousands of
scientific journals and over sixteen years of experience and observation. Francis’s
book provides a simple and holistic approach that can help to prevent and/or reverse
almost any disease—the ultimate triumph over disease. A book like this is needed now more than ever. Health-care costs continue to rise
while the health of the American people continues to decline. The average person is
lost in a glut of complex and confusing health information. When we do get sick,
though, not understanding why we are sick or how to become well, we feel like
powerless victims, subject to seemingly random infections and genetic
predispositions. We feel helpless because our understanding of disease remains
stuck in the archaic germ theory. We worry too much about our bodies being
invaded by microorganisms and not enough about building and maintaining the
overall health and function of our cells. Disease is not a random event. We can
choose to prevent it, provided that we know how. Health is determined by what we,
as individuals, are willing to do for ourselves; it is our responsibility. Rather than being a game of chance, health is a choice. Whether we realize it or
not, the daily choices we make have a direct impact on the health of our cells. When
we make the wrong choices, and our health takes a turn for the worse, we blame
genes or germs or the aging process rather than the way we live our lives. In truth,
the only way to heal any disease is to normalize cellular function by correctingcellular malfunction, the common denominator of all disease. Modern medicine has a poor understanding of disease and relies on suppressing
the symptoms of disease rather than addressing its true causes. Little wonder most of
us die from chronic and degenerative diseases—such as cancer and heart disease—
that are “treated” but seldom healed. As a society, our applying the principles of the
six pathways outlined in this book is crucial. Doing so will improve the health of our
population to where most of existing medical practice can become irrelevant. Even
now when we recognize the existence of only one disease, breaking medicine up into
medical specialties becomes obsolete and counterproductive. Raymond Francis provides real answers for real life, regardless of who you are or
your state of health. By providing a powerful framework for maintaining optimal
health, this book ties all the basics together in a way that anyone can put to
immediate and practical use. Francis simplifies the health equation to the lowest
common denominator—each individual cell. If you take care of each cell in your
body, disease cannot happen. An island of clarity in a sea of confusion,
Never Be Sick Again
is a one-stop
solution for health professionals and laymen alike. Think of this book as health in
one lesson. Everyone, especially our children, should learn about this cutting-edge
approach to health and disease. In the past, health and disease have seemed like
mysteries over which we have little control, but no longer. Now, we do have control. Knowing of just one disease and only two causes of disease gives us the power to get
well and stay well. Francis’s title says it all:

want to express my gratitude to the great thinkers who came before me and upon
whose work I have built, pioneers such as Hippocrates, Claude Bernard, Antoine
Bechamp, Renè Dubos, Alexis Carrel, Hans Selye, Walter Cannon, Linus Pauling,
Roger Williams, Emanuel Cheraskin and many others. I want to thank my professors
and colleagues at M.I.T., who helped to sharpen my critical thinking skills. I want to
thank Dr. Russell Jaffe, who pointed me in the right direction as I was searching for
answers to my questions about health and disease. Many thanks to my mother and father for their love and for helping me to become
who I am. Many thanks to my family and friends for their encouragement and for the
many hours they spent reading and commenting on various drafts of chapters. In
particular, I would like to gratefully acknowledge Mark Baird, David Buttaro, Joan
Carole, Br. Camillus Chavez, Mark Choquet, Kathleen Cotton, Peter DeTomi,
Bernard Friesecke, Pascal Girard, Dr. Peter Litchfield, Kathleen Martuza, Robert
Menkemeller, Mollie Meyers, Dr. David Rovno, Brandon Soule, Pamela Strong,

Beatrice Trum Hunter, who contributed so much to making this a better book. I am also grateful for the hundreds of people I have worked with as a health
advisor. Each and every one of them taught me something important about health
and helped to cement my understanding of the importance of diet and lifestyle in
preventing and reversing disease. Last, but far from least, I would like to thank my cowriter Kester Cotton. Without
your support, there would be no book to read. Thank you for your friendship,
encouragement, patience, forbearance and years of hard work. The days we have

NTRODUCTION
I
 was too sick to leave my bed. In fact, I was too weak even to lift my head from the
pillow. At age forty-eight, at the peak of an international business career, I found
myself on the brink of death. I had lost forty pounds from an already thin frame; I
looked skeletal. My vital signs were failing. My doctors expected me to die. I chose to live. I say “chose” because on my own, relying on my knowledge of
biochemistry and my determination not to die, I saved my own life. I took some
fairly simple steps, but I also took one profound leap. I made a powerful discovery:
Almost all disease can be prevented or reversed. As a result, health is a choice and
no one has to be sick. This book presents an entirely new theory of health and disease that will
ultimately change the way medicine is practiced. This book offers a revolutionary
way to perceive health, a guidebook for living based on cutting-edge science that is
simple to understand. This guide gives you the power to control your own health in a
way that you perhaps never imagined possible. In reality, humans experience only one disease. All disease is the result of
malfunctioning cells,
no matter if the disease is a “common” cold, a mental illness
such as depression or a life-threatening cancer. This theory of malfunctioning cells
cuts through the confusion of health and disease and provides a unifying
understanding of what keeps people well or makes them sick. The two causes of disease, the two reasons that cells malfunction, are
deficiency
(insufficient nutrients) and
toxicity
(excessive toxins). These two causes work
through six areas of daily life: the six pathways each person travels toward health or
disease. If you take care of your body’s needs along these six pathways, you give
your cells what they need and you avoid what is toxic. You will not become sick. The theory presented in this book—a unifying theory of disease—is the most
important health discovery to emerge in the last few hundred years. No such theory
existed during the evolution of what we now call “modern medicine,” which
explains why the medical establishment cannot cure nor prevent disease as
effectively as it might. My theory of health offers power, simplicity and clarity in
place of powerlessness, which is what most people now feel. Most people are
overwhelmed and confused by the constant flood of conflicting health information,
the thousands of different diseases that physicians “treat” with drugs and surgery. This swirl of specialists, symptoms and side effects leaves people without cures for
their disease and, too often, either growing sicker or facing death. We end up
powerless because we have no idea why we are sick or how to make ourselves wellagain. My new approach asks you to make profound shifts


 of the comfort of
inertia and sluggishness. Then the marriage will be disrupted and
one or both partners will delude themselves into thinking that with
a new partner it will be dierent, particularly after eros has perhaps
struck again. As long as this principle is not understood, a person
may go from one partnership to another, sustaining feelin gs only as
long as eros is at work. The second possibility is that the temptation of a semb lance of
peace is stronger. Then the partners may remain togethe r and may
certainly fulll something together, but a great unfullled  need will
always lurk in their souls. Since men by nature embody more of the
active and adventurous principle, they tend to be polygamous and
are therefore more tempted by indelity than women. Thus you can
also understand what the underlying motive for men’s inclination to
be unfaithful is. Women tend much more to be passive because they
carry more of the receptive principle and are therefore better
prepared to compromise. This is why they tend to be monogamous. Of course, there are except ions, in both sexes. Such indelity is
often as puzzli ng to the active partner as to the “victim.” They do
not understand themselves. The unfaithful one may suer just as
much as the one whose trust has been betrayed. In the situation where compromise  is chosen, both people stagnate,
at least in one very import ant aspect of their soul development. They nd refuge in the steady comfort of their relationship. They
may even believe that they are happy in it, and this may be true to
some degree. The advantage s of friendship, companionsh ip, mutual
respect, and a pleasant life together with a well-established routine
outweigh the unrest of the soul, and the partners may have enoughdiscipline to remain faithfu l to one another. Yet an important
element of their relationship is missing: the revealing of soul to soul
as much as possible. True Marriage
Only when two people do this can they be puried together  and
thus help each other. Two developed souls can fulll one another by
revealing them selves, by searching the depths of each other’s soul. Thus what is in each soul will emerge into their consci ous minds,
and puricatio n will take place. Then the life-spark is maintained so
that the relationship can never stagnate and degenerate into a dead
end. For you who are on this path and follow the vario us steps of
these teachings, it will be easier to overcome the pitfalls and
dangers of the marital relati onship and to repair damage that has
occurred unwittingly. In this way, my dear friends, you not only maintain eros, that
vibrating life-force, but you also transform it into true love. Only in
a true partnership of love and eros can you discover in your partner
new levels of being you have not heretofore perceived. And you
yourself will be puried also by putting away your pride and
revealing yourself as you really are. Your relationship will always be
new, regardles s of how well you think you know each other already. All masks must fall, not only those on the surface, but even those
deeper down that you may not even have been aware of. Then your
love will rema in alive. It will never be static; it will never stagnate. You will never  have to search elsewhere. There is so much to see
and discover in this land of the other soul you have chosen, whom
you continue to respect, but in whom you seem to miss the life-
spark that once brought you together. You will never have to be
afraid of losing the love of your beloved; this fear will be justied
only if you refrain from risking the journey of self-revelation
together. This, my friends, is marri age in its true sense, and this is the
only way it can be the glory it is supposed to be.Separateness
Each of you should think deeply about whether you are afraid to
leave the four walls of your own separateness. Some of my friends
are unaware that to stay separate is almost a conscious wish. With
many of you it is this way: You desire marriage because one part of
you yearns for it—and also because you do not want to be alone. Quite superci al and vain reasons may be added to explai n the deep
yearning within your soul. But aside from this yearning and aside
from the supercial and selsh motives of your unfullled desire for
partnership, there must also be an unwillingness to risk the journey
and adventure  of revealing yourself. An integral part of life remains
to be fullled by you—if not in this life, then in future lives. Should you nd yourself alone, you may, with this knowledge and
this truth, repair the damage that you have done to your own soul
by harboring wrong concepts in your unconscious. You may
discover your fear of the great adventurous journey with another,
which will explain why you are alone. This understanding should
prove helpful and may even enable your emotions to change
suciently so that your outer life may change too. This depends on
you. Whoever is unwilling to take the risk of this great adventure
cannot succeed in the greatest venture humanity knows—marriage. Choice of Partner
Only when you meet love, life, and the other being in such
readiness will you be able to bestow the greatest gift on your
beloved, name ly your true self. And then you must inevitably
receive the same gift from your beloved. But to do that, a certain
emotional and spiritual maturity  has to exist. If this matu rity is
present, you will intuitively choose the right partner, one who has,
in essence, the same matur ity and readiness to embark on this
journey. The choice of a partner who is unwilling comes out of the
hidden fear of undertaking the journey yourself. You magneticallydraw people and situations toward you that correspond to your
subconscious desires and fears. You know that. Humanity, on the whole, is very far away from this ideal of the
marriage of true selves, but that does not change the idea or the
ideal. In the meantime you have to learn to make the best of it. And
you who are fortunate enough to be on this path can learn much
wherever you stand, be it only in understanding why you cannot
realize the happiness that a part of your soul yearns for. To discover
that is already a great deal and will enable you in this life or in
future lives to get nearer to the realization of what you yearn for. Whatever your situation is, whether you have a partner or are alone,
search your heart and it will furnish you the answer to your conict. The answer must come from within yourself, and in all probability it
will relate to your own fear, unwillingness, and ignora nce of the
facts. Search and you will know. Understand that God’s purpose in
the partnership of love is the complete  mutual  revelation of one soul
to another—not just a partial revelation. Physical revelation is easy for many. Emotionally you share to a
certain degree— usually as far as eros carries you. But then you lock
the door, and that is the moment when your troubles begin. There are many who are not willing to reveal anything. They
want to remain alone and aloof. They will not touch the experience
of revea ling themselves and of nding the soul of the other person. They avoid this in every way they can. Eros as a Bridge
My dear ones, once again: Understand how important the erotic
principle is in your sphere. It helps many who may be unwilling and
unprepared for the love-exp erience. It is what you call “falling in
love,” or “romance.” Throug h eros the personality gets a taste of
what the ideal love could be. As I said before, many use this feeling
of happiness carelessly and greedily, never passing the threshold
into true love. True love demands much more of people in a
spiritual sense. If they do not meet this demand, they forfeit the goalfor which their soul strives. This extreme of hunting for romance is
as wrong as the other, where  not even the potent force of eros can
enter the tightly locked door. But in most cases, when the door is
not too tightly  bolted, eros does come to you at certain stages of
your life. Whether you can then use eros as a bridge to love depends
on you. It depends on your development, your willingness, your
courage, your humility, and your ability to reveal yourself. Are there any questions in connection with this subject, my dear
friends? QUESTION : When you talk about the revela tion of a soul to another, do
you mean that, on a higher level, this is the way the soul reveals itself to
God? ANSWER : It is the same thing. But before you can truly revea l
yourself to God, you have to learn to reveal yourself to another
beloved human being. And when you do that, you reveal yourself to
God too. Many people want to start with revealing themse lves to the
personal God. But actually, deep in their hearts, such revelation to
God is only a subter


 open-sided airy yoga
sala  or pavilion sports soaring roofs supported by teak pillars — it’s a beautiful
spot for some serious contemplation. Shiva, the lord of yoga, is depicted in three stylized Thai paintings in different
meditative positions. Thailand has embraced yoga in many of its spas and healing
centers. Kundalini Y oga:
The aim of this form of yoga is to awaken and reach one’ s spiritual
potential. Using the metaphor of a serpent coiled at the body’ s
bottom  chakra, p ractic e unwin ds the serpent and helps it to rise
upwards in an attempt to reach the top  chakra, which is the highest
possible. It  concentrates on postures, chan ting, meditation and
breathing exercises. V iniyoga:
Viniyoga  is a term used to describe the  yoga taught by Sri T
Krishnamacharya, a descendant of the 9th-century  yogi  Nathamuni. His son is the current  viniyoga  lineage holder. Viniyoga  aims to
make yoga relevant to every sit uation and every individual person,
and concentrates on postures, breath, meditation and prayer. The ben efits of yoga are many: T aken from the Sanskrit,  yoga
means “ union” or “joining”, so the ultimate aim of yoga is to join
with the  Almighty. This may not  be within the reach of many, so, on
a m ore prosaic level, yoga con fers many less ambitious benefits. Physically, practitioners report increased flexibility, be tter
lubrication of joints, massaging of internal or gans, toned muscles
and detoxification of the entire body. These are joined by mental,
spiritual and emotional benefits as well. Devotees often report
transformations in their lives once yoga is practiced regularly. Stress, anxiety, ill health, unhappiness and anger are replaced by
peacefulness, vibrant health, service, and love towards all creation. Many Indian spas, hotels, resorts, retreats ashrams and healing
centers of fer yoga. People also often attend yoga schools or  sala,
and there are li terally hundreds of inspired settings in India ( and
outside India) in which to prac tice this ancient art (see photo  on
page 100). A painting depicts the Hindu  sapta rishis  or seven sages who are extolled in the
Vedas and other Hindu literature. They  are regarded as the patriarchs of the Vedic
religion, so have perfected many of the teachings in the V edas. The sage at center
bottom is in  urdhva-padmasana  or elevated lotus position. A relatively low-key, but top-notch, yoga school in Mysore is the Mandala Yoga
Sala housed in a 100-year old house on Dewan street in the Laxmipuram area. Set up by Harish Bheemaiah, the school is renowned for its excellent tuition by
acharya  (teacher) Mr V Sheshadri and his son. Sheshadri was a student of
Yogaratna Sri B N S Iyengar (not to be confused with B K S Iyengar) and has
achieved recognition at both international and national levels. He helps students
push beyo nd their limits with a unique style of adjustment (he often sits or stands
on them. ). Urdva danurasana  or “intense back bend”. Uttanasana  or “forward bend”. Kukkutasana  or “rooster pose”. An adjustment to  uthita trikonasana. Virabhadrasana 1  or “warrior 1”. Urdva mukha shvanasana  or “upward facing dog”. Adho mukha shvanasana  or “downward facing dog”. Punatanasana  or “east extension posture”, an  asana  that helps strengthen
shoulders and wrist joints. Adho mukha svanasana  or “downward facing dog”, one of the postures in the Sun
Salutation series. Matsyasana  or “fish posture”, helpful for neck and spine. Shreyas Retreat, just outside Bangalore, combines five-star facilities with an ethos
that can best be described as boarding school basic. As the owner explains, it is
about “living an ashram-style life with daily yoga, meditation sessions, organic
vegetarian food, no alcohol, communit y service and farming”. For those who want
to immers e themselves in India’ s ancient wellness traditions, it offers innovative
tuition and plenty of peace and quiet, but does not skimp on creature comforts. It
markets itself as a place that helps guests to find their “inner core. ”Sarvangasana  or “supported shoulder stand”, a posture that helps with thyroid
disorders. Trikonasana  or “triangl e pose”: Maintained to streng then knees and calf and thigh
muscles, this posture is good for the spine. Aided by Shreyas instructor Bharat Kumar Patra, our model and yoga teacher
Yana Odnopozov demonstrates some of the different  asanas  in the yoga
repertoire. Asanas  should be “steady and comfortable” according to Patanjali and
Yana looks nothing if not poised in these photographs. This is a variation of  padmasana  or “lotus pose”; usually performed sitting upright,
here the practitioner leans back. The headstand, known as  sirsasana, is a major pose in yoga. Hands and arms
can be used in a number of different ways to support this pose which stretches thespine and builds neck muscle. The crane pose or  bakasana  is a yoga posture that stretches the knees,
hamstrings and lower back. It is one of the easiest balance arm postures in the
yoga repertoire. This posture is known as  halasana  or “plough pose” ( hala  in Sanskrit translates as
plough). As the plough makes the hard ground soft, the veins are stretched here
to reduce stif fness in the body. Another variation of  padmasana. Parsva bakasana  or “side crane pose ” gives an intense stretch in the lower back
and requires good upper body strength. The lower arms bones (ulna and radius)
act as supporting beams and the legs are bent at the knee. This is a variation of
the side crane posture, as the participant has stretched out both her legs to one
side. Pulling arms and legs stretches the abdomen; hamstring stretch; twisting from the
waist to free up muscles in the upper arms; pulling the client towards  dhanurasana
or the “bow pose” to stretch shoulders and elongate the spine. The skilled  Amanbagh therapist pulls, turns, manipulates and stretches the client’ s
body to simulate certain yoga postures and stretches. All the while, she works
along the energy lines, using acupressure, reflexology and internal organ
massage. The aim is to clear blockag es of  prana  and give the client a full body
workover to improve overall health and create a feeling of wellbeing. amulya uphar  Lazy Man’s Yoga
Similar to Thai massage, but based on the stretching
facilitated by yoga postures, Amulya Uphar is a unique
technique of fe red at Rajasthan’ s Amanbagh. T ranslating as
“Priceless Gift” from the Hindi, it is an oil-free treatment
that takes place on a mattre ss on the floor, with the client
wearing a loose  kurta  pyjama suit. The therapist works on
the client’ s meridian lines and acupressure points,
manipulating the body into dif ferent positions to open upener gy chann els that in t urn stimulate sluggish blood
circulation, movement of lymph and the flow of  chi. First of all, clien ts are prepared for the body work with a foot wash
with a hot towel to remove negative ener gy and a gentle touch on
the solar plexus and crown  chakra  to let them know they are in safe
hands. L ying on their back on a mattress on the floor, they  are
requested to breathe normally before the massage begins. This
always starts with the feet as it  is here that the body weight re sts:
Using thumbs and the palms on the meridian lines, reflex points  are
awakened on the soles, then the masseuse moves up the legs to
stomach and hands, shoulders and head. After this, the client turns
over and the therapist works on the legs, back, neck and head. Amulya Uphar is quite a physically demanding experience, with
the thera pist sometimes sitting on the client, and often pulling him
or her into somewhat contorte d positions. The cobra pose, for
example, has the therapist kneeling on the pressure points of the
client’ s thighs while holding both hands and pulling them
backwards. At certain points the client may be requested to breathe
in or out in ord er to facilitate the opening up of the body, but the
therapist — by listening to the  body — knows how far it can  be
coaxed, stretched or twisted. Amulya Uphar can be an ama zingly de-stressing experience,
with ma ny clients reporting deep relaxation, relief of tension and
increased suppleness afterwards. As with W atsu, a similar practice

Orgas mic Dra w, with each  com plete  draw consisting  of nine  hard
contractions. If possible,  practice  both  in the mo rning  and at night,
and you will progr ess quickl y. Once  you have  mastered  the
technique,  eighteen  to thirty -six repetiti ons performed morning and

D. Massage
    After  each  practice  session  of the Orgas mic Dra w, be sure  to
massage  your breasts  and genitals. This w ill disperse  any energy
that did not  get drawn up and will alleviate  any feelings  of congestion
or fullness. Use y our hands  or a silk or  taffeta  scarf. Briskl y rub your breasts
in a circular  motion, pressing  them  against  your ribs. Then massage
the mons and  outer  lips of the  vagina,  the perine um and  the sacru m.
This active ma ssage  should  be done  until y ou feel a cleanliness  in
your breasts  and genitals. (Fig. 6.14)

resumed the massage  practice,  she did not have  any more
problems pre menstru ally. E. Safety Points for Ovarian  Breathing,  Ovarian  Compressi on,
and the Orgasmic Draw
   1. Never lie flat on  your back  during  these  exercises. The Chi
power may  stick in y our chest,  causing  considerabl e irritabilit y and
undue  pressure  on y our heart. 2. Never lie on your left side  when practicing. This also  stresses
the heart  and overfills  it with ener gy. 3. Never place any objects under  your side  while in the lying
position. This wi ll bend  the channel  of energ y and way cause  back
pain. If an y of the problems mentioned  in points  1 to 3 arise,  release
the energy  safel y by using the venting  exercise  described  in Chapter
5. An y pain  or discom fort should  disapp ear within one week of
beginning  to vent. 4. Practice on  an empty, but not hungr y, stomach w henever
possible. Always wait at least one hour  after  eating. 5. Wear loose  clothes  or wrap yourself in a light  blanket  during
this practice. You will perspire  if the  exercises  are done  prop erly
and will suffer  a chill if y ou are not covered. After  practice,  change
your clothes  so that  you are removed from  the mo isture  of the
fabric. There  should  be a gentle  flow of clean  air in the  room. Avoid
any drafts  or wind. Wind tends  to blo w the Chi pow er away. It might
cause  your energ y to become cold  easily. - 173  -Orgasmic Upward Draw
    6. As you advance,  beads  of sweat may accumulate  on y our
brow. Rub this  sweat into the  skin- -it has  desirable  properti es which
should  be returne d to the body. 7. Do not  breathe  throug h the mouth during  these  exercises. It
is easier  to control  the flow of air w hen breathi ng through  the nose. Inhalation  through  the nose  charges  the air w ith ener gy and
invigorates  the brain. 8. Do not  be concerned  if you feel little effect  during  the first
days or weeks of practice. Each perso n needs  a vary ing amount
of tim e before  heat  flows from her  ovaries. 9. You must develop  intense  concentr ation. Keep  your mind
from wandering. Alow  though ts and images  to leave  without
follow ing them. Em pty the vessel of  the mind of thoug hts, and
powerful ener gy will strea m into  the void. Your power of
concentrati on will develop  greatly  if you persist  in this discipline. Learn  the Micr ocosmic Orbit  meditation,  and carry it out  immediately
after practicing  the Orgas mic Dra w.
    10. During  the resting  perio d close  the eyes and follo w the
energy ’s path. The mind should  not stray to thoug hts or fantasies,
but should  flow with the course  of the  energ y. This m ay sound  very
difficult. You will be amazed at  how  quickl y you can beco me
sensitive  to your own energ y. When yo u experie nce these  energies
within yourself,  you will know exactly  what we mean. Since the
energy  flows along  natural  courses,  it guides  your mind even  as
your mind guides  the energ y. 11. Those w ho suffer  from  constipation  should  practice  in the
morning. These exercises  will help  greatl y to remedy  the problem. 12. If you are infected  with venereal  disease,  thorou ghly cure
your seIf befor e engagi ng in this exercise. Other wise the pain  will
be quite  severe  when you draw so mu ch blood  and pow er to the
pubic  region. F. Cleansing Si de Effects
    Although  they  may  appea r elementary. the exercises  in this  and
the preceding  chapter  are highly  refined  techniques  for increasin g
vital po wer. They are like sharp  swords which must be used  with
care to perfo rm their  functions  without harming oneself. If you follow
the instructions  closel y you will not suffer  any distressing  side
effects. Study  the methods  with serious ness,  assimilate every  line
of the  text,  and persist  until y ou have  succeede d.

iness at the
core of every atom is the wom b of the universe; in the flicker of thought
when two neuro ns interact there is an opportunity for a new world to be
born. This book is about exploring that silence where time’ s breath does not
wither but only renews. Look to the land where no one is old; it is nowhere
but in yourself. OceanofPDF.comIN PRACTICE:
How to Reinterpret Your Body
The first step toward experiencing your body in a different way is to change
your interpretation of it. No two people experience their bodies in exactly
the same way, because each of us interprets experience—including the
experience of inhabiting a body—according to his own personal beliefs,
values, assumptions, and memo ries. An aging body involves one style of
interpretation; an ageless body involves an opposite style. Try to let go of the assumption that your body is aging because things
just are that way. If you feel certain that growing old is natural, inevitable,
and normal, I don’t want you to erase those assumptions instantly. You
couldn’ t do that if you tried, for the old paradigm has taught all of us to
accept these assumptions without question. However, while still honoring
your deep belief  in aging, sickn ess, and death, allow yourself to set aside
the old paradigm for a moment. The quantum worldview, or the new paradigm, teaches us that we are
constantly making and unmaki ng our bodies. Behind the illusion of its
being a solid, stable object, the body is a process, and as long as that
process is directed toward renewal, the cells of the body remain new, no
matter how much time passes or how much entropy we are exposed to. The great enemy of renewal is habit; when frozen interpretations from
the past are applied to the prese nt, there will always be a gap, a mismatch
between the need of the momen t and the solution from the past. To have a
renewed body, you must be willing to have new perceptions that give rise to
new solutions. The exercises below are designed to help you open up new
perceptions. Some are exercises in absorbing the new knowledge of the
quantum worldv iew as it applie s to your body. Others are exercises in newexperience, gaining an inner feeling for that level inside your body that is
ageless. Ideally, as we move on to later exercises, knowledge and
experience will begin to fuse—that is the sign that you are fully
assimilating this new worldview in place of the old. Exercise 1: Seeing Thr ough the Mask of Matter
The most impor tant step in gaining the experience of ageless body is to
unfreeze the perceptions that have locked you into feelings of isolation,
fragmentation, and separatenes s. These frozen perceptions reinforce the
idea that only the reality of the five senses can be believed. So let us see if
we can go beyond the senses to find a level of transcendental experience,
which is in fact more real than the world of the senses. Look at your hand and examine it closely. Trace its familiar lines and
furrows, feel the texture of the skin, the supple flesh cushioning the
submer ged hardness of bone. This is the hand your senses report to you, a
material object composed of flesh and blood. In this first exercise we will
attempt to “thaw out” your hand and give you a different experience of it
beyond the reach of your senses. Holding the image of your hand in your mind’ s eye, imagine that you are
examining it through a high-pow ered microscope whose lens can penetrate
the fines t fabrics  of matter and energy. At the lowest power, you no longer
see smooth flesh but a collection of individual cells loosely  bound by
connective tissue. Each cell is a watery bag of proteins that appear as long
chains of smaller molecules held together by invisible bonds. Moving
closer, you can see separate atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and so on,
which have no solidity at all—th ey are vibrating, ghostly shadows revealed
through the microscope as patches of light and dark. You have arrived at the bound ary between matter and energy, for the
subatomic particles making up each atom—whirling electro ns dancing
around a nuclea r core of proton s and neutrons—are not spots and dots of
matter. They are more like traces of light left by a Fourth of July sparklerwaved in the dark. At this level you see that all things you once took to be
solid are just energy trails; the instant you see one trail, the energy has
moved elsewhere, leaving nothing substantial to be touched or seen. Each
trail is a quantum event, fleeting, dying out as soon as it is noticed. Now you start sinking even deeper into quantum space. All light
disappears, repla ced by yawning chasms of black emptiness. Far away on
the horizon of your vision, you see a last flash, like the farthest, faintest star
visible in the night sky. Hold that flash in your mind, for it is the last
remnant of matter or energy detectable by any scientific instrument. The
blackness closes in, and you are in a place where not just matter  and energy
are gone, but space and time as well. You have left behind your hand as a space-time event. Like all space-time
events, your body has to have an origin beyond the fourth dimension. There
is no such thing as “before” or “after” in this region, no concept of “big” or
“small.” Here your hand exists before the Big Bang and after the universe’ s
end in the “heat death” of absolute zero. In reality these terms are
meaningless, for you have arrived at the womb of the universe, the pre-
quantum region that has no dimensions and all dimensions. You are
everywhere and nowhere. Has your hand ceased to exist? No, for in crossing the boundary of the
fourth dimensio n, you didn’ t go anywhere; the whole notion of place and
time simply doesn’t apply anymore. All the grosser levels of perception are
still available to you; your hand still exists at all these levels you have
traversed—quantum, subatomic, atomic, molecular, cellular—connected by
invisible intelligence to the place where you now find yourself. Each level
is a layer of transformation, completely different from the one above or
below it, but only here, where there is nothing but pure inform ation, idea,
creative potential, are all levels reduced to their common origin. Ponder this exercise for a moment to absorb its lessons:
•  The three-dimensional body reported by the five senses is a mirage. •  Every solid particle of matter is composed of more than 99.99 9 percent
empty space. •  The void between two electrons is proportionately as empty as the
space between two galaxies.•  If you go deep  enough into the fabric of matter and energy, you arrive
at the origin of the universe. All events in space-time have a common
source outside the reality we perceive. •  Beyond the quantum, your body exists as pure creative potential, a
multilayered process controlled by intelligence. Now examine your hand with a new understanding—it is the stepping-of f
point for a dizzying descent into the dance of life, where the dancers
disappear if you approach too near and the music fades away into the
silence of eternity. The dance is forever, and the dance is you. Exercise 2: Closing the Gap
Now that we have touched that level of quantum space unde rlying all
physical existen ce, I want you to become more comfortable there. Ordinarily we think of space as cold and empty, but quantum space is full—
it is the continuity that connects everything in the universe. When the
quantum field is active, it gives rise to a space-time event; when it is quiet,
there is just quantum space. But this doesn’ t signify that the field has gaps
in it—im agine the Earth surrounded by lines of magnetic force radiating out
of the north and south magnetic poles. All the separate magnets on the
planet participate in this field. They are small, separate outcroppings of
magnetism, yet even when a magnet is not in your immediate vicinity, the
magnetic field surrounds you. A horseshoe magnet is a local outcropping of
the field (a space-time event), while the lines of the magnetism surrounding
the Earth are a nonlocal, invisib le presence. Both are connected as aspects
of one underlying field of ener gy. Because your body emanates electromagnetic frequencies, you are yet
another expressi on of the same field. The pulsations of nerve signals racing
along your limbs, the electric charge emitted by your heart cells, and the
faint field of current surrounding  your brain all demonstrate that you are not
separate from any form of energy in the universe. Any appearance of
separation is only the product of the limitation of your senses, which are not
attuned to these ener gies.Imagine two candles standing about three feet apart on a table in front of
you. To your eyes they appear separate and independent, yet the light they
cast fills the room with photons; the entire space between them is bridged
by light, and therefore there is no real separation at the quantum  level. Now
carry one of the candles outside at night and hold it up against a background
of stars. The pinpoints of light

give you the impetus to take action on your desired manifesta-
tion. The appearance of the right person or the unexpected gift
that may be the beginning of your manifestation will be greeted
with a shrug and a disinterest that will prevent you from receiv-
ing its blessing. Be awake and fully appreciative of everything and
everyone. Change an attitude of ingratitude by imagining, just for a
moment, how empty your life would be without those blessings. Often, we fail to appreciate our loved ones and all of the gifts of
the universe until it is too late and they have left our lives. I think
of this often in relation to my own children. I know that all too
soon they will be gone from our home and living their own lives
with their own primary families. I often sit in amazement, feel-
152
Manifest Your Destiny
ing how much I love each one of them. Marcelene and I make a
habit of putting our arms around them, and just telling them
how lucky we are that they are a part of our lives, and how privi-
leged we feel to be their parents. This act of love discourages us from taking each other for
granted. An expression of gratitude toward grandparents, co-
workers, spouses and even the pilots flying an airplane you are
on is a way out of the ennui trap. Discontinue taking life for
granted. Live with an appreciation for life that cultivates grate-
fulness. APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION
When we depreciate something, we devalue or diminish its worth. We depreciate things or people by expressing disapproval or dislike. When we appreciate something or someone, we give value with
approval and praise. When we appreciate things, we mean to
increase their worth. It is impossible to feel grateful for something or someone we do
not value. Begin to see things and people as they truly are rather than
your assessment of them, which is an inner judgment. Each person is
a child of God. See the unfolding of God in each person you meet. Then you are able to appreciate them. When you fail to do this, you
depreciate them. Your experience of misery, emptiness and fear is related to your
depreciation of what shows up in your life. Think of everything that
you criticize regularly and you will see where you have failed to
appreciate. If you find fault with blacks or whites, Muslims or Jews,
Iraqis or Americans, the young or the old, what you are doing is
devaluing groups of people. The moment you participate in the
depreciation process, you block your ability to experience gratitude
153
WAYNE W. DYER
and, consequently, you obstruct your ability to manifest prosperity,
love and joy. Essentially, the activity of depreciation means that you are not
sensing the beauty of life. Rather than reinforcing the misperceptions
of your ego, become an appreciator and, therefore, a manifester by
seeing the Christ shining back at you in the other person or groups of
people. CULTIVATING AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Below are some suggestions for activating the practice of grati-
tude. Make the shift to being grateful for all that you are, and all that
you have, and you will facilitate your ability to manifest into your life
the essence of all that you desire. Develop an awareness of yourself as a recipient rather than as a vic-
tim. Virtually everything that you possess in your life is because of
the efforts of others. Your furniture, automobile, home, clothes,
gardens, yes, even your own body are all, in some way, gifts from
others. Without those efforts of thousands and thousands of peo-
ple all working in harmony, you would have nothing showing up in
your life. Even if you are a “self-made person,” you could not have gone
past the first moment of your independence without the gifts of the
very basics that you used to become self-made in the first place. Just
remind yourself of this fact each day and gratitude will begin replac-
ing cynicism. Practice a silent expression of gratitude when you start to see your
desires manifesting from the universal source. A very private, sim-
ple, “Thank you, God, I see you working in my life and I acknowl-
edge with love my appreciation for all that you bring to me” is all
154
Manifest Your Destiny
that is needed. These private and firm inner reminders to be thank-
ful will keep you from getting blocked by those obstacles you have
just read about. Become a person who is willing to tell those around you how much
you appreciate them. Make a concerted effort to say aloud how
much you love your family members without making it a phony rit-
ual. Be willing to say aloud what a lovely home you have and how
much you appreciate it, or to express appreciation to someone who
does your laundry or cooks a fine meal for you. Do this in a sincere
fashion and you will see how quickly this attitude is reciprocated
and appreciated. You can practice this attitude of gratitude with strangers. Do
small favors like returning a shopping cart to the store rather
than leaving it in the parking lot, or telling a waitress how much
you appreciate her kind attention to details. The more you are
willing to express gratitude, the more you are cultivating an
experience of unconditional love, which, as you know, is the
secret to manifesting. Be thankful and avoid complaining as much as possible. Remember
my own personal slogan, “Don’t complain, don’t explain. ” Catch
yourself as you are about to find fault with someone or some condi-
tion. Then, instead, find something to say that reflects a willingness
to be a love finder: “They probably haven’t been taught how to per-
form that task properly” rather than “No one can do anything right
anymore. I don’t know what the world is coming to. ”
The more you practice not criticizing and not complaining, the
more that vacuum within you will fill with love and appreciation. Give yourself a specific period of time to practice avoiding com-
plaining and faultfinding, perhaps thirty days. You will experience

the emptying of rancor and complaints from your inner self and the
opening to love, appreciation and gratitude. The presence of
unconditional love will lead you to the ground of yourself, where
manifesting your desires becomes possible. Begin and end each day with an expression of gratitude and thanks-
giving. Every morning when you awake you have been given the gift
of a sunrise and twenty-four hours to live. This is a precious gift. You have the wonderful opportunity to take this day and live joy-
ously, with appreciation for everything that you encounter. Take in a deep breath and be grateful for this exhilarating experi-
ence of breathing in life and love. Similarly, end your day with an
expression of love, and a repetition of the word for peace, Shalom. That word combines the sounds of manifestation and that which
has manifested for you. Be aware of the need to be grateful for the suffering and struggles
that are part of the fabric of your life. Sometimes it is easy to simply
be angry at. your suffering rather than to know that it is the catalyst
for your searching and awakening. Your ability to know the power of kindness and love most likely
grew out of some darkness and pain in your past. Without those
experiences you would still be stuck. Addictions teach the elixir of
purity. Anger teaches the ecstasy of love. Ingratitude teaches the
need for gratitude. Hoarding teaches the pleasure of giving. Your
own pain taught you how to be more present and loving with
others. Your chicken pox taught you how to avoid it later in life, by
giving you the opportunity to build up antibodies in your immune
system. Life gives exams. Be grateful for those exams rather than
critical of them. 156

Remember, it is the nature of thought to increase. The more your
thoughts are centered on what is missing, the more deficient you
feel and the more complaints you will utter. Similarly, the more you
practice gratitude, the more you are thankful and appreciative of all
that life provides and the more you feed your experience of abun-
dance and love. The more you practice it, even in small ways, the
more abundant you will feel, and, ultimately, the more you will
attract to yourself as well. One of the things I have been doing for years is giving an expression
of thanks to God whenever I find a coin, regardless of its denomina-
tion. The coin is a symbol to me of the prosperity that has been put
right in my path. I have found that I receive coins almost every single
day of my life. A dime here, a penny there, a nickel on the pavement. They show up regularly, almost as a reminder to me of all that has
manifested in my life. I simply pick up the coin and say, “Thank you,
God. I know you are working in my life and I am grateful for this sym-
bol. ” Each time I receive a coin in this manner, I am reminded to
extend the favor in some form of generosity to others. It is in generos-
ity and service to others that our gratitude will ultimately extend itself. GENEROSITY AND SERVICE: THE FINAL STEP IN
MANIFESTATION
The natural extension of being grateful is the development
