  you  have  now  drawn  within  you
the Victory  of Achievement!  If you  allow  your  human  in-
tellect  to cause  you  again  to doubt  and  fear,  then  you  will
have  to wait  another  Opportunity  of the Messengers,  to re-
establish  This  Work!
We are giving  you  the Opportunity  here  and  did  also
in San  Francisco,  to utilize  These  Qualities  which  We  are
anchoring  in your  feeling  world  for Definite,  but Powerful,
Use!  To the degree  that  you  can feel  This  Help  and  let It 24 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
begin  to act, will  you  find  Response  and  Manifestation  in
your  outer  world  of activity.
So, tonight,  you  have  entered  a New  World,  the World
of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence."  Will  you  say to Me:  "I
don't  feel  any  change  in my body,  I do not see any outward
manifestation  of It"?  If that  should  be your  feeling,  you
are not apt to; but if you  can say sincerely:  " 'Mighty  I AM
Presence,'  I accept  These  Qualities  which  have  been  given
me for use!  You  set them  into  action  now!  'Mighty  I AM
Presence,'  see that  I have  the feeling  of the Truth  and  the
Activity  of These  Qualities,  quickly  brought  into  my outer
use and  manifestation."  Then  you  will  have  Them!  You
will begin  quickly  to experience  the Truth  of the Words  I
speak  to you!
Before  going  on, I wish  to say just  a few  Words  to the
Messengers:  "The  greatest  need  at the present  time  is in
Philadelphia  and  New  York,  and  then  you  will  be directed
what  is to follow.  Great  need  is in the World,  tonight.  Saint
Germain  will  not be able  to come  and  direct  you,  before
you leave  the city;  and  has asked  Me to convey  This  Mes-
sage  to you."  Oh,  that  mankind  might  understand,  what  it
means  to have  the Assistance  of Great  Wise  Beings  Who
have  gone  the Pathway  you  are treading;  having  conquered
and set Themselves  Free  into  the  Ascension!  They  are
Those  who  know  every  struggle,  every  sorrow,  everything
any one of you experiences.  Then,  will  you  understand  how
it is within  Our  Ability,  to give  such  Great  Assistance ? We
know  all that  you  suffer. DISCOURSE  III 25
In the ages  of long  ago  when  I achieved  My  Freedom,
it was  not so difficult;  but  at the time  Our  Beloved  Saint
Germain  attained  His  Freedom,  it was  an hundred  times
more  difficult  than  you  have  to contend  with  today.  In
those  ages,  people  had  to hide  in caves  in the mountains
to worship  as Their  Hearts  dictated!  Today,  you  have  the
Great  Country  of America!  Oh,  that  you  might  know  just
what  that  Word  means  to you—AMERICA!  OH,
AMERICA!  If you  clearly  knew  what  that  Heavenly,  Di-
vine  Word  meant,  you  would  almost  wish  to speak  It like
the words  "I AM,"  for It belongs  to the "I AM."  One  day,
We shall  tell you  Its full Meaning.
Now,  Precious  Ones,  I am speaking  to the students  who
are firmly  and  with  Great  Determination  holding  to the
Light  of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence":  Your  Goddess  of
Liberty  in New  York  harbor,  is but  the symbol  of that
Mighty  Being  who  is entering  into  the  ruling  world  of
America,—the  Mighty  Goddess  of Liberty!
Do not  fear  ever!  that  the  Great  Law  will  fail  to find
Its Fulfilment  in America;  but  those  who  have  willingly
chosen  to serve  the shadows,  will  one  day  know  the Power
of Her  Radiation,  which  even  row  is saturating  the Earth!
Oh, that  you  may  know  the Great  Enfolding  Radiance
and Illumining  Presence—the  Great  Change  which  is in
your  atmosphere,  even  today!  Oh,  Beloved  Ones,  when  you
breathe,  feel  and  breathe  the Fire-Breath  of God,  in which
no imperfection  can  exist!  As you  think  of It from  time  to
time,  feel yourselves  breathing  in That  Mighty  Fire-Breath 26 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
of God,  the Mighty  Purifying  Flame!  the  Unfed  Flame!
which  purifies  and  strengthens  every  cell of your  body,  ex-
panding  the Light  within  your  Heart;  until  It knows  no
interference,  either  from  yourself  or outside  forces!
One day,  when  you  are sufficiently  prepared,  I shall  stand
before  you—as  I stood  before  those  Blessed  Ones  in the
Cave  of Light  in India!  Then,  shall  mankind  realize  the
Great  Beings  Who  have  loved  the World  and  have  stood
the Guards  over  it, are no myth  of anyone's  imagination!
So also,  shall  ALL  mankind  know  the "Great  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  Which  has  stood  guard  over  it, when  the  people
would  have  destroyed  themselves.  Precious  Ones,  Beloved  of
the Light!  never  again  let a single  thought  or feeling  enter
your  world,  but  praise  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"
which  gives  you  Life!  In Eternal  Gratitude  to Life,  speak
It before  the World!  Life  alone  pours  forth  to you  Its Eter-
nal, Its Ever-lasting  Perfection!  Yet,  mankind  in the lack
of understanding,  is constantly  re-qualifying  Its Mighty
Currents  of Energy,  which  would  of their  own  volition,
produce  Beauty  and  Perfection  in the human  form.  Those
Currents  of Energy,  if left  unchanged,  would  make  it a
Perfect  Receptacle  to the Outpouring  of the Presence  and
glorify  the people  with  Freedom  quickly.  Those  Currents
of Energy  from  the Presence  would  glorify  them  with  Do-
minion,  not from  the human  self,  but over  all substance.  All
form  in the Universe,  in the Octave  of Earth,  is composed
of the  One  Substance—the  Universal  Substance  of Elec-
tronic  Light,  which  of Itself  is Wholly  Perfect. DISCOURSE  III  27
Now  you  understand,  Precious  Hearts,  the need  of Self-
control  in your  feeling  world—stop  all irritation—all  de-
structive  feeling,  anger,  hatred,  jealousy  or any  of those
qualities  which  fill your  world  with  distress.  Stop  it at once!
Feel the Glory  of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  fill your
world  and  flow  forth  with  Happiness  and  Perfection!  Only
as you  do that,  can  you  have  evidence  of the  Perfection
which  you  long  to have  flow  forth  like  a river  into  your
world!  We  can  only  do it, as you  give  attention  to your
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  thru  Whom  We  must  work!

 the progesterone. It became more radiant, which isa great thing to have happen at my age. I used to have all of theseskin tags on my neck, and about a month after I started theprogesterone they all disappeared.54 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  Ultimately, it took me ten months to lose about 60 pounds
and get down to a size 4. I must have gained a lot of muscle mass,because I don’t weigh 105 pounds like most size 4 women. I weigh137 pounds. Of course, with more muscle mass my metabolismis much higher than it used to be, so it is that much easier tomaintain my weight while still eating the foods I love to eat.
A LIFETIME OF BATTLING OBESITY
Susan B. is typical of the many people who have fought obesity
their entire life not because of an eating problem but because ofa hormone problem.
I believe the only cause for postpartum depression
is low progesterone.
Susan had the classic history of someone with a low
progesterone level who becomes estrogen dominant anddepressed. I believe the only cause for postpartum depressionis low progesterone. In the second and third trimesters theplacenta pours out progesterone, which is why women feel sogood during this time of their pregnancy. But after the baby isdelivered, progesterone levels go down.
For most women, once they start ovulating again, their
bodies begin producing progesterone and their moods lift. ButSusan was low in progesterone to begin with, and she was in her40s, when hormone levels are on the decline anyway. So she hadno source of progesterone.
Her low progesterone caused high insulin levels—the  num-
ber one cause of obesity. Low progesterone also led to an increasein estrogen—another hormone that creates fat. Low proges-terone leads to depression and other psychological problems.55 POSTP ARTUM DEPRESSION AND SUSAN B.  She also had the standard symptoms of an under-active
thyroid: her skin was dry, her nails didn’t grow well, she waseasily fatigued, and so on. Her blood tests bore out thisdeficiency. Her low thyroid contributed to her depression, too.The thyroid has a tremendous influence on the metabolism ofevery cell of the body, including the brain cells.
Helping Susan was a very simple matter. As soon as her
hormones were balanced she regained a zest for living. Theweight loss made her feel even better—it was a particularlysweet reward for a woman who had spent half a lifetimestruggling with obesity.
I hope you, the reader, are beginning to understand the
importance of hormones when it comes to health. Susan’s caseis another example of a deficiency of hormones creating havocwith one’s health and illustrates the importance of beingpro-active with your own health care. For the most part, youcannot expect the medical community to come up withanswers it is ill-equipped to find.
EVEN MOVIE STARS GET THE BLUES
As many of you are aware, actress/model Brooke Shields wrote
a book detailing her experience with severe postpartum depression.Her advice to women with this problem is to avail themselvesof anti-depressant medications. She has been on multiple talkshows reiterating this advice.
What she is proposing is the classic, standard medical care
approach: take a Band-Aid (drug) for your problem.
It is my understanding that Ms. Shields utilized in vitro
fertilization to get pregnant. The number one reason why awoman cannot get pregnant is a low progesterone level. Myunderstanding is that she did not have morning sickness, theoccurrence of which I would have expected. After her delivery,56 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  her progesterone level might have dropped to non-existent
levels, which could have precipitated her severe postpartumdepression.
Using natural, bio-identical progesterone might have
eliminated the need for in vitro fertilization and preventedpostpartum depression. In fact, giving her progesterone wouldhave eliminated her depression almost immediately.
There is an ironic twist to this situation. Many of you
might be aware that actor T om Cruise, who I understand is apracticing Scientologist, advised Ms. Shields to take a morenatural approach for her depression—healing with prayer, andso on.
Interestingly, T om Cruise has said that he has a problem
with ADHD—a condition I feel is also caused by a lowprogesterone level. So both of these well-known actors havethe same hormone deficiency, in my view, yet neither of themis aware of it.57 POSTP ARTUM DEPRESSION AND SUSAN B.  FIBROMYALGIA AND
JANET L.
chapter SEVEN
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatism of the muscles, ligaments, and
tendons that can cause crippling pain and can make normalactivity excruciating. It is far more common than most peoplerealize and seems to occur with great frequency among over-weight people. Fibromyalgia can be healed using a natural,drugless approach, a fact that should bring joy to the hearts ofmany sufferers. I hope Janet’s story will inspire others to “say no”to this debilitating condition and begin living a pain-free,joyous life.
I’ve had fibromyalgia for 20 years, although it wasn’t diagnosed
until recently. Most people who have fibromyalgia do not getproperly diagnosed until they have had it for at least seven years.That’s because it is a progressive disease, and when it starts out itmight only manifest as a stiff neck or isolated pain and generalfatigue. The symptoms, in other words, are so general they can beinterpreted as the flu, tired muscles, a sleep disorder, or anynumber of less serious problems.
When I first started experiencing the pain of fibromyalgia I
was living in the mountains in Washington State. In that oftencold, usually moist climate my body behaved like a barometer—
59whenever the weather changed my body would feel it. Whether it
was dampness, cold, a change in the wind—any change wouldregister in my body as pain. I went to rheumatologists, chiropractors,all kinds of doctors about my pain, but none of them had asolution for me.
One doctor started me on cortisone shots. We reached a point
where he was shooting cortisone into 42 muscles in my back everyday. He finally said, “Janet, I can’t do this any more. You’vebecome a human pincushion.”
I would have good days and bad days. On my good days I was
energetic and took part in family activities with great zest. Onbad days I wouldn’t be able to get dressed without stopping a fewtimes to lie down and rest and get my energy back.
In the days before the fibromyalgia was advanced, my husband
and I decided to build our dream house up in the mountains inCardiff. I took a very active part in designing it, a house on threelevels. It was a project that went on for several years. By the timewe were close to finishing it, the major symptoms of my fibromyalgiahad set in. At that point, I found it unbearable to climb stairs. Ihad to wonder who that person was who had thought to design athree-story house. But no one had diagnosed me or told me myproblem would get worse every year.
I was given various medications for pain, Neurontin being the
one I ended up taking long-term. It dulled the pain withoutgetting at the source of the problem.
The way I dealt with the pain in the early days was to be very
active. Inactivity seemed to exacerbate the stiffness and pain, so Ithrew myself into family activities. We have a large extendedfamily up north and I loved making dinners and entertaining. Icould forget about my pain if I had a goal like cooking for 40people. However, the activity took a lot out of me and after thesedinners were over I would have to recuperate for a week.60 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  Part of the fibromyalgia was a sleeping problem—the pain
kept me awake. Often I would get only three hours of sleep atnight. I would toss and turn and then finally go to my husband’srecliner to get some sleep. It was easier to find a comfortableposition there. I also started getting migraine headaches.
Gradually I reached the point where I was quite debilitated.
If it were snowing outside I could only walk a half a block or sobefore exhaustion would set in. My knees would get so swollen theywould be like footballs. I couldn’t bend them.
A rheumatologist finally diagnosed me. He checked my
pressure points and told me all 18 of them were inflamed. He saidI had both osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
I finally had a diagnosis, but the rheumatologist didn’t have a
solution for my pain. He just prescribed more Neurontin. Myhusband and I arrived at the point where we were ready tosacrifice our dream house so we could live in a warm, dry climatewhere I could be in less pain. We sold our house in Cardiff andbought a house in the desert. As soon as we’d moved in I contacteda rheumatologist—I needed a local source for my Neurontin. Thisdoctor checked my pressure points, and they were, as usual,inflamed.
Meanwhile, I happened to see Dr. Platt on television


 replace
her old, unsuccessful pattern?“You’re here this weekend to talk about healing,” I said, “and in your
case, physical and emotional healing would be superficial. Your need is for
a healing at the level of belief.”
“Meaning what?” she asked.
“I suppose we could say you need a better love life with God. First your
concept of ‘higher ’ power has to be reexamined. God or spirit stands beside
us in every aspect of our everyday lives. Second, the belief that God is
masculine must  be exchanged for a genderless alternative, given how
threatening masculine energy is to you. If you can begin to see how your
notion of spirit has been shaped  by your early childhood, you can start to
look at love as a mirror of the present instead of the past.” This last is a key
concept:
When you fall in love, you fall for a mirr or of your own most pr esent needs.
The intense desirability of another person isn’t innate in that person.
Desire is born in the one who desires. In Clare’ s case, since her underlying
self-image is that of a helpless, unloved girl, any show of power arouses
incredible yearning in her.
There is nothing wrong with this—we all project similar needs in our
search for love.  Nor is there anything wrong with the bedazz led state of
infatuation that Clare has so often sought. Each affair, real or imaginary, has
a repeated message to offer her: “You are loved.” It is the simplest of
messages, but often the hardest  to absorb. For spirit isn’t saying, “You are
loved as long as your passion for this man lasts.” It is saying, “You are
loved,” without any qualifications. If Clare does begin to gain insight and
remove the obstacles that block her vision, spirit’ s message will be awaiting
her. There is infinite patience in spirit, infinite willingness to wait upon our
attention. And one day, in her own time, Clare will notice.
“I think that each man you have loved is a tiny reminder of who you are,”
I told Clare. “This isn’t solipsistic but a natural reflection of your needs.
You aren’ t judged by the love life you choose, since no one is outside
yourself to judge—there is only you as the Self, looking at you from a
different angle.”
“I don’ t see how that helps,” Clare said.“The Self looki ng at you is the primary relationship you bring into all
situations,” I said. “Realizing that, you will start to reduce expectations for
other relationships. In your case you expect a lot from fantasy, but you
could transfer those expectation s to yourself. What do you really want from
men? Security, well-being, a sense of belonging? These are all available to
you from  your own Self, and your healing will be to fall in love with that
Self.”
The secret to spiritual healing is that its foundation is already laid. In his
exalted poetry, Walt Whitman speaks of the ever -presentness of love:
There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now,
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.
I read this passage to Clare, who sat silently for a moment. “I’ve been
around for a while,” she said, “and I’m not unconscious. I see that I’m
stuck, and for a long time this concept of learning to love yours elf has been
prescribed to me. But I honestly cannot see how it works.”
“The reason for that,” I said, “is that you are bringing the wrong  model to
your notion of what self-love is. In duality, love connects two separate
people. If that is your model of love, you will have no choice but to see
self-love in much the same way. That is, you’ll try to separate off the parts
of yourself that you value and direct appreciation toward them. But
fragmentation is the problem, not the solution. Self-love and self-division
don’t go togethe r. Self-love isn’t on the level of personality; it’s on the level
of being. Being is whole, and when you recognize that, every part of
yourself rejoins its true status as totality. Learning to love and accept the
powerless, lonely little girl inside you, giving her permission to be part of
you, will lessen her role in directing your love life.”
If you strip away  the details of Clare’ s story, her search for love in all the
wrong places stands for a much more general condition. Love between
“you” and “me”  is a dualistic conception. People have been falling madly in
love for centuries, but that hasn’t solved the deeper problem of inner
division. If anything, such divisi on has been exacerbated as generation after
generation tries to resolve separation through others. What heals inner
division is a change of perception.You are not just a small piece of divine essence that was create d to exist
separately. At the level of your soul you are the whole of spirit. Your
connection to God is complete and seamless; your loving relatio nship to the
universe is total. The mind cannot conceive of this all-inclusiveness,
however, while being caught in its own dualism. We think of ourselves as
father or mother, son or daughter, man or woman, here or there, this or that.
Separation is built from our own self-image.
Thought cannot restore wholeness because by definition thoug ht is also
fragmented. Yet everyone’ s mind contains the essence of spirit; silence and
intuitive knowle dge come naturally to us. The fact that we have drastically
devalued these aspects of our inner life doesn’ t abolish them. Already you
can touch on valuable parts of your life that you can know only by setting
thoughts aside. How do you know if you are happy, or intelligent, or
awake? These aren’ t issues you reason with; they are self-evident.
You do not have to think in order to see and hear; you do not have to
have an active dialogue inside your head to know that you exist.
Awareness is awar e of itself befor e it gains knowledge of anything else.
The deep er reaches of intuitive knowledge, however, feel foreign because
our cultu re hasn’ t shown us how to explore the inner world. When we turn
to privileged outsiders—to seers and poets, for example—we discover
many truths that only the silent voice of spirit can reveal. If we could rise
above our narrowness of vision,  we would perceive our higher Self directly,
as W alt Whitman did:
There is that in me—I do not know what it is—but I know it is in me....
Do you see O my brothers and sisters?
It is not chaos or death—it is form, union, plan—it is eternal life—it is Happiness.
The fact that we cannot sustain Whitman’ s vision means that our growth
from duality to unity is still under way, which is why the path to love exists.
The ability to live in the Self must be relearned—this is what walking the
path is all about.
TENDER COUR TSHIP
The next stage of romance, courtship, is more than just the time for winning
one’s love. At a subtler level it brings together two people’ s perceptions.Beneath the lovers’ talk and tender emotions, the fragile birth  of spirit is
being tested. Its survival depends not just on how exalted and transformed a
man and woman may feel. An act of interpretation must also take place, in
which the right words are found for a shared experience.
Courtship is a tender, tentative stage in which two lovers decide whether
to pursue a new reality or return to the old. It is the first phase in which two
futures are at stake, not just one.
In ancient India the spiritual equivalent of this phase was called Satsang,
a word that can be translated as “the company of truth,” or more loosely,
“the sharing of spirit.” When disciples sat at the feet of their master,
listening to his wisdom, they were taking satsang, but any communion of
spiritual seekers is given the same name. Before departing this world, Christ
told his disciples, “Where two or three of you gather in my name, I will be
there.” That is satsang without the master ’s physical presence. Turning your
conversation in the direction of spirit makes a casual chat with a friend a
form of satsang as well. The link with courtship is very clear, for courtship
is about  speakin g your heart to another, sharing your spirit in a way you
cannot do alone.
The satsang of lovers often takes place in silence, which holds true for
some of the greatest saints also; simply to be in their presenc e infuses us
with the spirit of God. People who feel genuinely comfortabl e with each
other are able to talk about their fears, wishes, and hopes, but the
communion of lovers is far more intense. Courtship is a shared birth, a rare
opportunity to exchange what is most innocent in each partner. Intimacy
allows a man to tell a woman things he did not know existed within himself,
and the same for a woman.
What becomes shared may have never existed in the past. The past is
based on memor y

• An outstanding physician solved the problem of diabetes
Some years ago I received a clipping from a magazine descr ibing
the origin of the discovery of insulin. This is the essence of the  article
as I recall it.
About forty years ago or more, Dr. Frederick Banting, a brillia nt
Canadian physician and surgeon, was concentrating his attention on
the ravages of diabetes. At that time medical science of fered no
effective method of arresting the disease. Dr. Banting spent
 130  considerable time experimenting and study-ing the international
literature on the subject. One night he was exhausted and fell asleep.
While asleep, his subconscious mind instructed him to extr act the
residue from the degenerated pancreatic duct of dogs. This was the
origin of insulin which has helped millions of people.
You will note that Dr. Banting had been consciously dwell-ing on
the problem for some time seeking a solution, a way out, and his
subconscious responded accordingly.
It does not follow that you will always get an answer overnight. The
answer may not come for some time. Do not be discouraged. Keep on
turning the problem over every night to the subconscious mind pr ior
to sleep, as if you had never done it before.
One of the reasons for the delay may be that you look upon it as a
major problem. You may believe it will take a long time to solve it.
Your subconscious mind is timeless and spaceless. Go to sleep
believing you have the answer now. Do not postulate the answer in the
future. Have an abiding faith in the outcome. Become convinced now
as you read this book that there is an answer and a perfect solution for
you.
• How a famous scientist and physicist escaped from a Russi an
concentration camp
Dr. Lothar von Blenk-Schmidt, a member of the Rocket Society and
an outstanding research electronic engineer, gives the followi ng
condensed summary of how he used his subcon-scious mind to free
himself from certain death at the hands of brutal guards in a  Russian
prison camp coal mine. He states as follows:
“I was a prisoner of war in a coal mine in Russia, and I saw m en
dying all around me in that prison compound. We were watched over
by brutal guards, arrogant officers, and sharp, fast-thinking
commissars. After a short medical checkup, a quota of coal was
assigned to each person. My quota was three hundred pounds per day.
 131  In case any man did not fill his quota, his small food ration wa s cut
down, and in a short time he was resting in the cemetery.
 “I started concentrating on my escape. I knew that my subconscious
mind would somehow find a way. My home in Germany was
destroyed, my family wiped out; all my friends and former associ ates
were either killed in the war or were in concentration camps.
“I said to my subconscious mind, ‘I want to go to Los Angeles, and
you will find the way.’ I had seen pictures of Los Angeles and I
remembered some of the boulevards very well as well as s ome of the
buildings.
“Every day and night I would imagine I was walking down Wilshire
Boulevard with an American girl whom I met in Berlin prior to the
war (she is now my wife). In my imagina-tion we would visit th e
stores, ride buses, and eat in the restau-rants. Every night I made it a
special point to drive my imaginary American automobile up and
down the boulevards of Los Angeles. I made all this vivid and rea l.
These pictures in my mind were as real and as natural to me as one of
the trees out-side the prison camp.
 “Every morning the chief guard would count the prisoners as they
were lined up. He would call out ‘one, two, three,’ etc., and when
seventeen was called out, which was my number in sequence, I
stepped aside. In the meantime, the guard was called away for a
minute or so, and on his return he started by mistake on the n ext man
as number seventeen. When the crew returned in the evening, the
number of men was the same, and I was not missed, and the discovery
would take a long time.
“I walked out of the camp undetected and kept walking for twenty -
four hours, resting in a deserted town the next day. I was able to live
by fishing and killing some wild life. I found coal trains going t o
Poland and traveled on them by night, until finally I reached Pola nd.
With the help of friends, I made my way to Lucerne, Switzerland.
“One evening at the Palace Hotel, Lucerne, I had a talk with a  man
and his wife from the United States of America. This man ask ed me if
 132  I would care to be a guest at his home in Santa Monica, Cal ifornia. I
accepted, and when I arrived in Los Angeles, I found that their
chauffeur drove me along Wilshire Boulevard and many other
boulevards, which I had imagined, so vividly in the long months in the
Russian coalmines. I recognized the buildings, which I had seen in my
mind so often. It actually seemed as if I had been in Los Angeles
before. I had reached my goal.
 “I will never cease to marvel at the wonders of the sub- conscious
mind. Truly, it has ways we know not of.”
• How archaeologists and paleontologists reconstruct ancient
scenes
These scientists know that their subconscious mind has a memory of
everything that has ever transpired. As they study the ancien t ruins
and fossils, through their imaginative percep-tion, their subc onscious
mind aids them in reconstructing the ancient scenes. The dead p ast
becomes alive and audible once more. Looking at these ancient
temples and studying the pottery, statuary, tools, and household
utensils of these ancient times, the scientist tells us  of an age when
there was no language. Communication was done by grunts, groans,
and signs.
The keen concentration and disciplined imagination of the scienti st
awakens the latent powers of his subconscious mind enabling him t o
clothe the ancient temples with roofs, and surround them with
gardens, pools, and fountains. The fossil remains are clothed with
eyes, sinews, and muscles, and they again walk and talk. The p ast
becomes the living present, and we find that in mind there is no time
or space. Through disci-plined, controlled, and directed imagination,
you can be a companion of the most scientific and inspired think ers of
all time.
• How to receive guidance from your subconscious
When you have what you term “a difficult decision” to make, or
when you fail to see the solution to your problem, begin at onc e to
 133  think constructively about it. If you are fearful and worried, you are
not really thinking. True thinking is free from fear.
Here is a simple technique you can use to receive guidance on a ny
subject: Quiet the mind and still the body. Tell the body to relax; it has
to obey you. It has no volition, initiative, or self-conscious
intelligence. Your body is an emotional disk, which records your
beliefs and impressions.
Mobilize your at-tention; focus your thought on the solution to your
problem. Try to solve it with your conscious mind. Think how happy
you would be about the perfect solution. Sense the feeling y ou would
have if the perfect answer were yours now. Let your mind play w ith
this mood in a relaxed way; then drop off to sleep. When you aw aken,
and you do not have the answer, get busy about something else.
Probably, when you are preoccupied with some-thing else, the ans wer
will come into your mind like toast pops out of a toaster.
In receiving guidance from the subconscious mind, the simple way
is the best. This is an illustration: I once lost a valuable ring, which
was an heirloom. I looked everywhere for it and could not locate it. At
night I talked to the subconscious in the same manner that I would talk
to anyone. I said to it prior to dropping off to sleep, “You know a ll
things; you know where that ring is, and you now reveal to me where
it is.”
In the morning I awoke suddenly with the words ringing in my ear,
“Ask Robert!”
I thought it very strange that I should ask Robert, a young boy ab out
nine years of age; however, I followed the inner voice of intuition.
Robert said, “Oh, yes, I picked it up in the yard while I wa s playing
with the boys. I placed it on the desk in my room. I did not think it
worth anything, so I did not say anything about it.” The subconsc ious
mind will always answer you if you trust it.

A young man who attends my lectures had this experi-ence. His
father died and apparently left no will.


 hardened, and liquify it so that it will run out of the body.
This is the beginning of the program.
The real work in healing the body is going to come later when there is a transformation in tissue integrity resulting in a hi gher
quality body. This process brings on the healing crisis and may take 6 months to bring on a complete elimination. Thi s will result
in cleaner, purer tissue that is able to accept and handle the good, vital foods you’re feeding it.
This program is not just a colonic - it is much more. We call it a colema because it’s a combination of an enema and a colonic.
This program i nvolves more than just taking Core of the bowel. We must prepare the body’s elimination channels for the
housecleaning that is on the way. If we build the body up to cause a cleansing to occur, then we must open up the elimination
systems to handle this di scarded material.
It is common for old, toxic substances to flow not only from the bowel, but from all channels; lungs, mouth, nose, ears, skin,
kidneys, lymph, vagina; all possible channels must be ready and capable of handling the flood.
In preparing for  this occurrence, I strongly advise that you become more familiar with the process by studying my book which
explains the healing crisis in detail, titled Doctor -Patient Handbook. One of the usual occurrences for those who have experienced
this system is t he extreme elimination of feces. One patient explains that she could have a complete bowel movement and then take
a colema and have still another bowel movement and, after an hour or so, have another complete bowel movement!

Many people think that they ar e cleaned out when they have one movement. Unfortunately, most people are as many as 10 meals
behind in their eliminations! They are holding many meals in the ballooning, pocketed portions of their bowel. The colema
treatment will loosen up this material a nd make it flow. It will also restore tone and activity to that part of the bowel that is
distorted and underactive. We’ve had some people who are afraid that they are losing part of the bowel because the material
coming through is so unbelievable in its s hape, color, consistency and odor. They can’t imagine the heavy mucous lining being so
foul, thick and stringy. This is not a desirable thing to retain in the bowel because it is carrying the seeds of disease and  illness. It is
loaded with old drugs, tissu e and morbid substances. It is the favored environment for the disease -producing bacillus coli. As the
body rises up from the old, we must work with it, support it and encourage the process. We work with less food, more broths, more
rest. The body responds  with revitalization and regeneration in all the tissues of the organism. This is why we call it a tissue
cleansing treatment. It gets after every tissue in the body, not just the bowel. We realize by now that every tissue in the b ody is as
clean as the bo wel. This is due to the fact that every tissue is fed by the blood which is nourished by the bowel. When the bowel is
dirty, the blood is dirty and so on to the organs and tissues.

When diarrhea comes along, don’t stop it. Let it go, it is a cleansing pr ocess. Drink plenty of liquids to avoid being dehydrated.
During the healing crisis, do not eat very much; nothing at all is best. Overeating during this time will possibly shut down the
process and thereby delay that which you have worked so hard to make occur. Go instead to the vegetable juices, vegetable broths
and light liquids. If there is any fever, do not use any fruit juices, especially citrus juices. Potato peeling broth is the best thing to
use at this time. A fever indicates that the body is hard  at work burning up toxic substances. Let’s not interfere with it by forcing
the body to divert needed cleansing energy into having to process food.

The bowel is like a vacuum cleaner bag. It filters and filters until it is all clogged up and doesn’t do i ts job anymore. In fact, a
clogged up bag causes damage to the motor by allowing debris to pass by where it finds its way into the delicate machinery. I t also
places a very heavy load upon the motor, which is trying to draw air through the dirty bag. The c olema treatment unplugs the filter,
so to speak. This treatment will be relatively new to a lot of people. It can be used by young and old alike, as well as so -called
healthy people. Practically any disease, discharging, infection, catarrhal or bowel distu rbance and lowered hormone balance due to
toxins can benefit from this treatment.

WHERE CAUTION IS NECESSARY
In diverticulitis we find that there can be severe reactions resulting from the painful condition that already exists in the patient.
There may b e abscesses forming. We might have a perforation of the bowel and we must be very careful in taking care of this. It
will always be best to have a doctor’s counsel and to see just what is going on. We find that if we can cleanse the bowel wit hout
any diste ntion, even though using large amounts of water in the enema, we will be helping these sensitive problems. We feel that
the colema, which is one of the most natural ways of putting water into the bowel and eliminating it without any heavy disten tion,
is probably the best way to take care of these things. However, we must make sure that we don’t have any symptoms that are really
grievous to the patient, mentally or physically. We must also watch that the white cell count does not become very high becau se
we find that this will be a sign of infection and possibly conditions developing other than the diverticulitis that couir be of a serious
nature. Further, we have to consider that there could be obstructions in that bowel from a growth and that to expect anyt hing to
happen immediately from the colema and from the tissue cleansing treatment may be unrealistic. It is always best to have a do ctor
check over these conditions to make sure this treatment can be used in combination with his suggestions and with his d iag-nosis.

WARNING AND ADVICE
Due to the fact that this can be considered the most powerful tissue cleansing treatment available today, some skill must be
attended to persons given this treatment. It is well to have the cooperation of a doctor to handle t he most severe cases. It is also
advisable to have a complete clinical examination so that all and any tests can be monitored as patient makes progress. This is not
to be considered a “cure -all,” but an adjunctive treatment. It is a foundation for thorough  tissue detoxification by way of colon
cleansing. It is well to have complete regulatory and competent advisory consultation with those giving and administering thi s
treatment. A doctor knowing the “reversal process of cure” is to be desired. A disease in its reversal system will bring about
different symptoms and can be responsible for elimination processes. Chemical, mechanical or nutritional assistance is also
desirable and can be used with any other form of treatment favoring elimination and detoxificat ion. A clinical examination should
basically include: urinalysis, a complete blood count, PBI, SMA -24, acid -alkaline fecal test, test for acidophilus bacteria, X -rays
when needed, and any other test(s) that can be used to show tissue or functional changes taking place during this treatment. Any
particular weakness of any organ or system that is underactive should be tested often, or as deemed appropriate by doctor in order
to monitor the patient closely.

WARNING. Diabetic, tubercular, cancer and extreme de generative diseases must have guidance, sanction and assistance by the
most capable minds and doctor. Diabetic cases must be handled with particular care in regard to the fasting aspect of the
cleanse. Also all cases are not alike in their response to the detoxification program. Results may vary considerably according to
individual constitutions. Frequent colonic irrigation will have an adverse effect upon the electrolyte balance of the colon.
Electrolyte leaching is not a good process and must be avoided. The best way to prevent this occurrence is to be absolutely certain
that adequate amounts of lactobacillus organisms are re -established in the colon. To accomplish this task, refer to pages 51 through
55 in this book.

When the body is properly fed with go od quality foods containing organic sodium, potassium and magnesium, the electrolyte level
of the colon will be replenished as part of the diet. We must eat properly along with colon treatments. DO NOT OVERLOOK
THIS VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF COLON HEALTH.

However, my rectal bleeding from colitis and internal hemorrhoids continued.  In the meantime a friend told me that in the Tennessee Hills, where he was raised, urine enemas were used for similar problems. On July31, 1988, I began using urine for daily enemas.

 extremely useful, especially for those individuals who can not or will not tolerate a water fast.
    The best foods for monodiet fast ing are the easiest ones digest: juices of raw fruits and nonstarchy vegetables with all solids
strained out. Strained mineral broths made of long -simmered non -starchy vegetables (the best of them made of leafy green
vegetables) fall in the same category. So if you are highly partial to the flavor of grapes or lemons or cayenne and (highly diluted)
maple syrup, a long fast on one of these would do you a world of good, just not quite as much good as the same amount of time
spent on water alone. If you select  something more "solid" for a long monodiet fast, like pureed zucchini, it is essential that you
not overeat. Dr. Bieler gave his fasting patients only one pint of zucchini soup three or four times a day. The way to evalua te how
much to eat is by how much weight you are losing. When fasting, you must lose weight! And the faster the better.
    Pure absolute water fasting while not taking any vitamins or other nutritional supplementation has a very limited maximum
duration, perhaps 45 days. The key concept h ere is nutritional reserves. Body fat is stored, surplus energy fuel. But energy alone
cannot keep a body going. It needs much more than fuel to rebuild and repair and maintain its systems. So the body in its wis dom
also stores up vitamins and minerals and  other essential substances in and in -between all its cells. Bodies that have been very well
nourished for a long time have very large reserves; poorly nourished ones may have very little set aside for a rainy day. And  it is
almost a truism that a sick per son has, for quite some time, been a poorly nourished one. With low nutritional reserves. This fact
alone can make it difficult for a sick person to water fast for enough time to completely heal their damaged organs and other
systems.
    Obese people have  fat reserves sufficient to provide energy for long periods, but rarely can any body, no matter how complete
its nutrition was for years previously, contain sufficient nutritional reserves to support a water fast of over six weeks. To  water fast
the very o bese down to normal weight can take months but to make this possible, rather diverse and concentrated nutrition
containing few calories must be given. It is possible to fast even a very slim a person for quite a bit longer than a month w hen their
body is r eceiving easily assimilable vitamins and minerals and small amounts of sugars or other simple carbohydrates.
    I estimate that fasting on raw juices and mineral broths will result in healing at 25 to 75 percent of the efficiency of wate r
fasting, depend ing on the amount of nutrition taken and the amount the juices or broths are diluted. But juice fasting can permit
healing to go on several times longer than water might.
    Fasting on dilute juice and broth can also save the life of someone whose organs  of elimination are insufficiently strong to
withstand the work load created by water fasting. In this sense, juices can be regarded as similar to the moderators in a nuc lear
reactor, slowing the process down so it won’t destroy the container. On a fast of  undiluted juice, the healing power drops
considerably, but a person on this regimen, if not sick, is usually capable of working.
    Duration of juice fasts can vary greatly. Most of the time there is no need to continue fasting after the symptoms causing
concern have been eliminated, and this could happen as quickly as one week or take as long as 60 days if the person is very o bese.
Fasters also lose their motivation once the complaint has vanished. But feeling better is no certain indication that the need  to fast
has ended. This points up one of the liabilities of juice fasting; the person is already eating, their digestive system never shut down
and consequently, it is much easier for them to resume eating. The thing to keep in mind is that if the symptoms return, the fast
was not long enough or the diet was not properly reformed after the fast.
    During a long fast on water or d ilute juice, if the body has used up all of it"s reserves and/or the body has reached skeletal
condition, and the condition or symptoms being addressed persists the fast should be ended, the person should go on a raw foo d
healing diet. If three to six mont hs on raw food don’t solve the complaint then another spell of water or dilute juice fasting should
be attempted. Most fasters are incapable of persisting until the body reserves have been used up because social conditioning is
telling them their emaciated -looking body must be dying when it is actually far from death, but return of true hunger is the critical
indicator that must not be ignored. True hunger is not what most people think of when they think they are hungry. Few America ns
have ever experienced true hunger. It is not a rumbling in the stomach or a set of uncomfortable sensations (caused by the
beginning of detoxification) you know will go away after eating. True hunger is an animal, instinctual feeling in the back of  one"s
throat (not in the stom ach) that demands you eat something, anything, even grass or shoe leather.
    Seriously ill people inevitably start the cleansing process with a pre -existing and serious mineral deficiencies. I say inevitably
because they likely would not have become ill had they been properly nourished. Sick fasters may be wise to take in minerals from
thin vegetable broths or vitamin -like supplements in order to prevent uncomfortable deficiency states. For example calcium or
magnesium deficiencies can make water fasters experience unpleasant symptoms such as hand tremors, stiff muscles, cramps in
the hands, feet, and legs, and difficulty relaxing. I want to stress here that fasting itself does not create deficiencies. B ut a person
already deficient in minerals should watc h for these symptoms and take steps to remedy the deficiencies if necessary.

Raw Food Healing Diets
    Next in declining order of healing effectiveness is what I call a raw food healing diet or cleansing diet. It consists of tho se very
same watery fruits  and nonstarchy vegetables one juices or makes into vegetable broths, but eaten whole and raw. Heating food
does two harmful things: it destroys many vitamins, enzymes and other nutritional elements and it makes many foods much harde r
to digest. So no cook ed vegetables or fruits are allowed because to maintain health on this limited regimen it is essential that every
possible vitamin and enzyme present in the food be available for digestion. Even though still raw, no starchy or fatty vegeta bles or
fruits ar e allowed that contain concentrated calories like potatoes, winter squash, avocados, sweet potatoes, fresh raw corn, dates,
figs, raisins, or bananas. And naturally, no salad dressings containing vegetable oils or (raw) ground seeds are allowed. Nor  are
raw grains or other raw concentrated energy sources.
    When a person starts this diet they will at first experience considerable weight loss because it is difficult to extract a la rge
number of calories from these foods (though I have seen people actually gain weight on a pure melon diet, so much sugar do these
fruits have, and well -chewed watermelon seeds are very nourishing). Eating even large quantities of only raw fruit and raw non -
starchy vegetables results in a slow but steady healing process about 10  to 20 percent as rapid as water fasting.
    A raw food cleansing diet has several huge advantages. It is possible to maintain this regimen and regularly do non -strenuous
work for many months, even a year or more without experiencing massive weight loss a nd, more important to some people,
without suffering the extremes of low blood sugar, weakness and loss of ability to concentrate that happen when water fasting.
Someone on a raw food cleanse will have periods of lowered energy and strong cravings for more  concentrated foods, but if they
have the self -discipline to not break their cleansing process they can accomplish a great deal of healing while still maintaining
more or less normal (though slower paced) life activities. However, almost no one on this die t is able to sustain an extremely active
life-style involving hard physical labor or competitive sports. And from the very beginning someone on a raw food cleanse must
be willing and able to lie down and rest any time they feel tired or unable to face thei r responsibilities. Otherwise they will
inevitably succumb to the mental certainty that their feelings of exhaustion or overwhelm can be immediately solved by eating
some concentrated food to "give them energy." Such low -energy states will, however, pass q uickly after a brief nap or rest.
    Something else gradually happens to a body when on such a diet. Do you recall that I mentioned that after my own long fast I
began to get more "mileage" out of my food. A cleansed, healed body becomes far more efficien t at digestion and assimilation; a
body that is kept on a raw food cleansing diet will initially lose weight rapidly, but eventually weight loss slows to virtua lly
nothing and then stabilizes. However, long -term raw fooders are usually thin as toothpicks.
    Once starchy vegetables like potatoes or winter squash, raw or cooked, or any cereals, raw or cooked, are added to a cleansin g
diet, the detoxification and healing virtually ceases and it becomes very easy to maintain or even gain weight

What we have learned about cancer through Dr. Kelley has spared at least eight
lives. We would go the same route again well knowing what we would be getting
into and knowing the results. D's life was worth it all; the other eight we look at as a
major bonus from the Lord. My unanswered question: Why could Dr. Kelley find in
one day what many doctors could not find in many months?
Dr. Kelley: "Pancreatic cancer is very devastating and very close to my heart
because that's what I  had. The average life expectancy of a clinically diagnosed case
of pancreas malignancy is two months. This lovely young lady, with eight years'
survival, is an example of what can be done with total family unity. This family is a
wonderful example of 'how to.' They addressed two contributing factors to successful
healing — a positive attitude and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get well.
"Pancreatic cancer has some particular characteristics which are not like other
cancers. These characteristics include a lot of excessive gas and very unusual mental
states such as very severe nightmares, depression, anxiety and all the negative factors
that otherwise happy and cheerful individuals would not have. Such individuals flip
into depression and irritation and become hard to get along with.
"D is so nice, it's hard to imagine her being hard to get along with. But even if she
was, her parents would have understood and paid no attention. That kind of unselfish
support can make the difference between life and death."

"You have cancer."
When I  heard those three words over the telephone my only thought was "I'm
going to die!" I  was "shook up!" I  barely heard the voice on the other end of the
telephone tell me to come in and see Dr. S.L. as soon as possible.
Only another cancer patient knows what it means to be told "you have cancer." It
is not only a sentence of death; it is a sentence of death linked with severe pain.
I  was 46, living and working in New York City when I  was diagnosed as having
cancer. I  had been feeling "poorly" since I  was 37 and had had a partial
hysterectomy. I  was trying every day to live with "feeling poorly" because no doctor I
saw was able to help me "feel better." And believe me, I  saw many physicians in the
153
Winning The Cancer War
"Big Apple."
Our family physician, Dr. H.H., said I  should see a specialist because my periods
were too long, I  was losing too much blood during each period and I  had fibroids. I
went to the specialist he recommended who urged me not to wait, but to have the
operation "before it was too late." I  followed orders. I  had the operation. (By the way,
I  remember being sedated and prepared in the morning for the operation, which was
scheduled for 1:00 p.m. I  remember not being wheeled in until 4:00 p.m.! I  was
worried and wondered... w ill I  get the right operation? This experience filled me
with dismay and created distrust for the medical profession.)
I  was discharged with a clean bill of health. Now that I  had had the operation, did I
feel better? No, I  felt worse! I  was passing gas, feeling tired and terribly constipated. It
did no good to hear nice words of assurance from the doctor or that the tumor they
had removed was the size of a five-month pregnancy. I  didn't feel better hearing that
it was normal for some people not to have daily bowel movements. I  felt loggy.
Shortly after the operation and an "OK checkup" from the surgeon, I  went to our
family physician with the complaint "I have pain in the abdomen." He examined me
and was surprised to find a cyst in the former womb area. He asked me to return to
the specialist. I  refused. I  told our family physician that my confidence in the
specialist was gone. I  asked him to take care of me. After much pleading, he did. He
removed the cyst in his office by cauterization. Those were two painful office visits
for me.
I  still felt rotten. I  was fatigued all the time and passing gas much of the time. I  had
attacks of illness diagnosed as myositis and facial neuritis. I  had pains in my
abdomen, which were diagnosed as a nervous stomach. The family doctor suggested
I  take the gallbladder test. I  took it. Fortunately, at the time, there was nothing wrong
with my gallbladder. I  went to the dentist often because my gums were bleeding and
my teeth were loose.
I  was born with a brown mole on my left cheek. When I  was 14, hair began to
grow in the mole. It didn't hurt, but I  felt a pulsating sensation in the mole area. I  saw
a doctor who recommended removing the hairs by electrolysis. I  did this. Afterward,
the doctor said "It looks OK; we'll leave it alone for now, but you should always
watch the mole for any changes."
Two years after the hysterectomy operation at the age of 39, the brown mole on my
left check started to throb and grow. I  saw a skin specialist and had the mole excised.
A biopsy was performed. Diagnosis: Non-malignant.
In the fall of 1969, I  saw a gynecologist for a checkup. This doctor recommended

estrogen because I  had had a partial hysterectomy. I  took the estrogen for three
months only because round white spots emerged on both of my thighs and a growth
developed under the arch of my left foot. I  had to have this growth surgically
removed. This, too, was biopsied and declared non-malignant. At the same time, the
skin specialist removed some small growths on my face, forehead and right wrist.
I  was depressed; I  was still suffering with passing gas; my eyes were deteriorating. I
couldn't focus; couldn't see telephone numbers or addresses in the telephone book,
found it difficult to read the newspapers. I  suffered with muscle weakness and
cramps. The latter condition would often strike me at night while I  was sleeping with
such severity that I  would wake up screaming from the pain. My chestnut brown hair
was turning gray; the texture was now brittle. Worst of all, my face "itched" 24 hours
a day. I  wanted to holler because there was no letup of pain. I  found I  could no
longer tolerate any sunlight.
I  went to yet another specialist. I  gave him a list of my complaints. He gave me a
battery of tests, a big bill, and said that the tests showed there was nothing wrong
with me. He said, "You're getting older, try to make things easier." He suggested I  see
a psychiatrist. I  questioned him about my facial condition. He said the facial problem
was probably part of my active imagination. Ooh, but I  was angry when I  left his
office.
I  found the pain in my face intolerable. I  made an appointment with a skin
specialist in 1971. He performed surgery in his office and said, "W e'll do a biopsy but
I  doubt that you'll get your money's worth," Well, his office is the party that called
and told me, "You have cancer." I  think I  was shocked because I  thought I  had a
charmed existence when it came to surgery and biopsies. After all, I  had been
through many operations and biopsies and all had been diagnosed as being benign.
I  followed the skin specialist's recommendation of going into the hospital
immediately and having the "entire cancerous tumor completely removed." He said
he was sure this would be the case.
The short hospital stay was an ordeal. For a facial condition, I  had to undergo a
series of body X-rays and other tests. When I  asked, "Why? I  was told it was "hospital
procedure." I  don't know what good they did; I  do know it hiked up the bill. In the
hospital I  had a section between my lip and chin cut again. This biopsy also stated
that "the patient has cancer." The doctor said, "Go home, let your face heal and see
me in six months."
About this time I  began to visit health food stores in my neighborhood. Why? I
thought there might be something to taking supplements. I  was hoping to find
something to take to have more energy. I  bought books on health and I  bought health

be.
• Being embarrassed by a child’s, spouse’s, or parent’s behavior,
as if what they are is a part of what you are.
• Being in training  all of your life for a job or position. Never
leaving the training phase for self-reliance.
• Being hurt by what others say, feel, think, or do.
• Only feeling happy or successful if your mate is feeling that
way.
• Taking orders from someone.
• Allowing someone else to make decisions for you, or always
asking advice before deciding.
• “You owe me, look what I did for you.” The obligations that go
with being dependent.
• Not doing something in front of a parent or dominant person
because they wouldn’t approve. Not smoking, drinking, swearing,
eating a hot fudge sundae, or whatever, because of your submissive
role.
• Giving up on your own life when a loved one dies, or becomes
seriously ill.
• Using careful language around a dominant person, so that he
won’t be upset with you.
• Persistently lying about your own behavior, and having to distort
the truth so that “they” won’t be upset with you.
The Psychological Compensation of Dependency
The reasons for hanging on to this self-thwarting behavior are not
very complicated. You may know the payoffs for being a dependent,
but do you know how destructive they are? Dependency may appear
harmless, but it is the enemy of all happiness and fulfillment. Here
are the more common dividends for keeping yourself in a dependent
state:204 / Your Erroneous Zones• Being dependent can keep you in the protective custody of
others, and give you the little child benefits of not being responsible
for your own behavior.
• By staying dependent, you can blame your shortcomings on
others.
• If you are dependent on others, you don’t have to undertake
the hard work and risk of change. You are secure in your reliance
on others who will take responsibility for you.
• You can feel good about yourself because you are pleasing oth-
ers. You learned that the way to be good is to please Mommy, and
now many symbolic Mommies manipulate you.
• You can avoid guilt which you choose when you behave assert-
ively. It is easier to behave than to learn to eliminate guilt.
• You needn’t make choices or decisions for yourself. You model
yourself on the parent, spouse, or individual on whom you depend.
So long as you think what they think or feel what they feel, there’s
no need for the hard work of determining what you think or feel.
• When everything else is boiled away, it is just plain easier to be
a follower than a leader. You can do what you’re told and avoid
trouble, even though you may not like the way you feel as a follower.
It’s still simpler than taking all those risks that go with being your
own person. Dependency is distasteful because it makes you into
less than a whole, independently functioning person. But it is easier,
that’s for sure.
A Prospectus for Ridding Yourself of Dependency
• Write your own Declaration of Independence in which you spell
out for yourself how you want to function in all relationships, not
eliminating compromise, but wiping out any manipulation without
representation. “I, the person, in order to have a more perfect union,
etc.”
• Talk with each person that you feel you are psychologically
dependent upon. Declare your aims of functioning indepen-DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE  / 205dently, explain how you feel when you do things out of a sense of
obligation. This is an excellent strategy for getting started, because
the other may not even be aware of how you feel as a dependent.
• Give yourself five-minute goals for how you’re going to deal
with dominant people in your life. Try a one-shot “No, I don’t want
to,” and test the reaction of your reaction in the other person’s.
• Arrange a planning session with your dominant partner at a
time when you are feeling unthreatened. During this session, explain
that you sometimes feel manipulated and submissive and that you
would like to arrange a nonverbal signal to let the other person know
how you are feeling when it crops up, but that you don’t want to
discuss it at that time. A simple tugging of the ear or a thumb in the
mouth to signal you’re feeling submissive at a particular time.
• At the moment you are feeling shoved-around psychologically,
state how you feel to the person, and then act out the way you’d like
to behave.
• Remind yourself that parents, spouses, friends, bosses, children
and others will often disapprove of your behavior, and that has
nothing to do with who or what you are. It is a given fact in any re-
lationship that you will incur some disapproval. If you expect it,
then you won’t be thrown by it. In this way you can break many of
the dependency-ties that enslave you emotionally.
• Even if you are deliberately avoiding dominant people (parent,
spouse, boss, child), you are still being controlled by them in their
absence if you are experiencing emotional immobilization because
of them.
• If you are feeling obligated to visit certain people, ask yourself
if you would want others to visit you simply because they felt re-
quired to do so. If not, extend a similar courtesy to those you are
treating in this manner, and talk it out with them. That is, reverse
the logic and see how undignified a relationship of obligation really
is.206 / Your Erroneous Zones• Make a decision to get out of your dependency role by doing
volunteer work, reading, getting a baby-sitter (even if you can’t af-
ford it), getting a job that doesn’t necessarily even pay well. Why?
Simply because the remuneration of your own high self-esteem is
worth whatever the price it costs in money or time.
• Insist on financial independence with no strings, and no account-
ing to anyone. You are a slave if you must ask for money. If that is
impossible, arrange to make your own money in any creative way
that you can devise.
• Let them go! Let yourself go! Stop giving orders! Stop taking
orders!
• Recognize your desire for privacy and not having to share
everything you feel and experience with someone. You are unique
and private. If you feel you must share everything then you are
without choice, and of course, a dependent.
• Let a child’s room be his. Give him an area that he can control,
and, as long as it’s not unhealthy, allow him to make decisions about
how it will be organized. A made bed is not any more psychologic-
ally sound than an unmade bed, even though you may have learned
the opposite.
• At a party, congregate with people away from your partner.
Don’t feel responsible to be with that person at all times. Split up
and then join forces when it is over. You’ll double your learning and
experience.
• If you want to go to a movie and your partner wants to play
tennis, do it that way! Allow yourself more separateness, and your
moments of togetherness will be happier, and more exciting.
• Take mini-trips alone, or with friends without having to feel
attached to your partner. You’ll feel more strongly toward your
partner when you come back, and you’ll treasure your independent
functioning as well.
• Keep in mind that you have no responsibility to make others
happy. Others make themselves happy. Thus, you may truly enjoy
the company of another, but if you feel it is yourDECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE  / 207mission to make them happy, then you are a dependent who will
also feel gloom when the other person is down. Or even worse, you’ll
feel as though you let him down. You are responsible for your own
emotions and so is everyone else. No one has control over your
feelings, except you.
• Remember that habit is no reason to do anything. Just because
you’ve always been submissive to others is not sufficient justification
for allowing it to continue.
The business of effective living and parenting is independence.
Similarly, the hallmark of effective marriage is minimal fusion and
optimal autonomy and self-reliance. And while you may feel real
fear about breaking away from dependent relationships, if you asked
those upon whom you are emotionally dependent, you would sur-
prisingly discover that they most admire those who think and act
for themselves. More irony. You get the most respect for being inde-
pendent, particularly from those who try the hardest to keep you
subordinate.

FAREWELL TO ANGER
The only antidote to anger is to eliminate the internal sentence, “If
only you were more like me.”
Is your fuse too short? You may accept anger as a part of your life,
but do you recognize that it serves no utilitarian purpose? Perhaps
you’ve justified your short-fuse behavior by saying things like, “It’s
only human,” or “If I don’t express it, then I’ll store it up and have
an ulcer.” But anger is probably a part of you that you don’t like,
and needless to say, neither does anyone else.
Anger is not “only human.” You do not have to


 Wilson, 1983, Law Hospital, Scotland).
Or the Harvard medical researchers who discovered that active "antibodies
to cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, polio, leptospira and salmonella
have been found in the unconcentrated urine of infected individuals."
(Lerner, Remington & Finland, Harvard Medical School, 1962).
What abut the Scandinavian researcher who, in 1951, conclusively proved
that human urine can completely destroy tuberculosis? It's a deadly disease,
and is now resistant to antibiotics. Isn't it time someone told us that our own
urine is medically proven to be anti-tubercule?
Then there's the research into wounds and burns using urea
(the primary solid component of urine).
As only one research study among many reported:
"In America, urea has been used for the treatment of various infected
wounds and it has been found to be extremely efficient...
even the deepest wound can be treated effectively..•.
Urea treatment has been successful where other treatments have failed.
For external staph infections we found urea preferable to any other
dressing... there are no contra-indications to its use." (Dr. L. Muldavis, 1938,
Royal Free Hospital, London).
Now these medical reports are only a few of the more than 50 research
studies I compiled and published in the book Your Own Peifect Medicine,
but they certainly give an indication of the importance of what we've never
been told about urine by the medical community.
As far back as 1954, the Journal of the American Medical Association
(July issue) reported that "More scientific papers have probably been
published on urine than on any other organic compound."
43 Another publication revealed that "more than 1,000 technical and scientific
papers, related only to low molecular weight substances in urine,
appeared in medical and scientific literature in one single year."
All this fuss about a substance that we're told is a body waste?
I think one of the most interesting pieces of information on urine I came
across was the fact that the amniotic fluid that surrounds human infants in
the womb is primarily urine. Actually, the infant "breathes in" urine-filled
amniotic fluid continually, and without this fluid, the lungs don't develop.
Doctors also believe that the softness of baby skin and the ability of in-utero
infants to heal quickly without scarring after pre-birth surgery is due to the
therapeutic properties of the urine-filled amniotic fluid.
Reports on the extraordinary external benefits of urine abound as well.
Medical studies relate remarkable cases of stubborn or "incurable" chronic,
severe eczema that miraculously disappear with urine therapy. Because urine
is both anti-viral and anti-bacterial, it's ideal for treating cuts, wounds and
abrasions of all kinds. Acne, rashes, athlete's foot and fungal skin problems
respond dramatically to urine soaks and compresses as well.
(You'll f'md complete instructions for using urine therapy internally and
externally in Your Own Petfect Medicine.)
For home use or emergency treatment care for wounds, poisonous bites or
stings, and even broken bones, urine is an incomparable, proven natural
healing agent that provides instantaneous therapeutic benefits under any
circumstances.
For years, people have said to me, "Well, I have heard of people surviving by
ingesting their own urine, but I thought it was just a myth." Myth it isn't.
Medical fact it is. As Dr. John R. Herman remarked in his article which
appeared in the New York State Journal of Medicine in June, 1980:
"Auto-uropathy (urine therapy) did.flourish in many parts of the world and
continues to flourish today.... there is unknown to most of us, a wide usage of
uropathy and a great volume of knowledge available showing the multitudinous
advantages of this modality. Actually, the listed constituents of human urine
can be carefully checked and no items not found in human diet are found in it.
Percentages differ, but urinary constituents are valuable to
human metabolism."
Your Body's Own Super-Nutrition Therapy
In 1975, one of the founders of Miles Laboratories, Dr. A.H. Free, published
his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice, in which he remarked
that not only is urine a sterile body compound (purer than distilled water),
but that "it is now recognized that urine contains thousands of compounds,
and as new, more sensitive analytical tools evolve, it is quite certain that new
constituents of urine will be recognized."
44 Among the urine constituents mentioned in Dr. Free's revealing treatise is a
list of nutrients that will knock your socks off. As Dr. Free comments, the
ingredients listed below are only a few critical nutrients found in urine:
Alanine, total..... 38 mg/day
Arginine, total..... 32 mg/day
Ascorbic acid..... 30 mg/day
Allantoin..... 12 mglday
Amino acids, total..... 2.1 g/day
Bicarbonate..... 140 mg/day

Inositol..... 14 mg/day
Iodine..... 0.25 mg/day
Iron..... 0.5 mg/day
Lysine, total..... 56 mg/day
Magnesium..... 100 mg/day
Manganese..... 0.5 mglday
Methionine, total..... 10 mglday
Nitrogen, total..... 15 g/day
Ornithine..... 10 mg/day
Pantothenic acid..... 3 mg/day
Phenylalanine..... 21 mg/day
Phosphorus, organic..... 9 mg/day
45 Potassium..•.. 2.5 mg/day
Proteins, total..... 5 mg/day
Riboflavin..... 0.9 mg/day

Urea..... 24.5 mg/day
Vitamin B6..... 100 mg/day
Vitamin B12..•.• 0.03 mg/qay
Zinc..... 1.4 mg/day
As you read over this extraordinary list of nutritional elements, you can
begin to understand why the stories you may have heard of people surviving
on their own urine are true.
But what about other elements in urine that you've heard about?
Clearing Up the Misconceptions
If you asked a person on the street what uric acid is, he or she would
invariably answer that it's a toxic body waste. No so, say medical researchers
at the University of California at Berkeley who in 1982 reported they had
discovered that "uric acid destroys body-damaging, cancer-causing free
radicals and is considered to be one of the physiological factors that enable
human beings to live so much longer than other mammals."
But what about urea? Urea is in urine and isn't that the toxic stuff that
causes uremic poisoning? Actually, medical researchers discovered many
decades ago that urea, far from being a toxic body waste, is an incredibly
versatile, far-reaching and effective medicinal agent.
In numerous medical studies, it was shown that urea is one of the most potent
non-toxic virucidal agents ever discovered. In one particular study, the rabies
and polio virus [sic] were killed so quickly and efficiently by concentrated
urea, that even the laconic researchers themselves were surprised:
"Urea is such a relatively inactive substance and certainly not a protoplasmic
poison such as are most virucidal agents, that it is in a way surprising that
rabies and poliomyelitis are killed so easily by urea solutions" (McKay &
Schroeder, Society of Experimental Biology, 1936).
In reality, Urea is an FDA-approved medicinal agent that doctors and
researchers utilize in an amazing variety of therapeutic modalities. Because
of its remarkable and comprehensive anti-neoplastic (anti-tumor) properties,
it's presently being used in anti-cancer drugs and is extensively studied for
use in cancer treatments.
46 The urea compound drug, glicazide, is used successfully by the medical
establishment in treating both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent
diabetics.
As a natural diuretic, urea is unparalleled, and is a proven and accepted
treatment in cases of edema or swelling such as excess cerebral and spinal
pressure, glaucoma, epilepsy, meningitis, even premenstrual edema and
many other disorders in which excess fluid is a problem.
As one American neurosurgeon reported regarding a patient who nearly died
form complications following brain surgery:
"Urea was administered intravenously as an emergency measure. Within 20
minutes from the start of injection, her blood pressure had returned to
normal.... from this time on her recovery

awareness can experience awareness. When I ask you, ‘Are yo u aware?,’ you

This Infinite A wareness—this one and only A wareness— is you, and every other

It’ s the one A w areness operating through every living form. A ll the physical

This is the true meaning of the teaching, “W e are one.”
Consciousness and A wareness are dif ferent words used to des cribe the same
thing. They both describe you.

that ther e are many consciousne sses. W e have never considered that while it is

Francis Lucille, fr om  T ruth Love Beauty
If there’ s only one A wareness or Consciousness, why aren’ t you aware of
thoughts or sensations in other people’ s bodies? Or of what an animal in Africa
is seein g or hearing? It’ s bec ause A wareness or Consciousness has been
funneled throug h your mind, m aking it localized to your body. Plus, the belief
that you’re a s eparate individual prevents you from experi encing the full
expansiveness of A wareness. But when you feel compassio n or love for
another, you are far more tuned in to the one A wareness than you might have
realized.
W e’ve all had gl impses in our li fe of the A wareness that we are, but more often
than not  we passed them of f as something we imagined or a trick of the mind.
Whether we remember them or not, we’ve had experiences that we can’ t
explain, very often when we were children. It may have been an experience
where y ou felt you expanded to be really big, and felt like the w orld was within
you, or maybe you saw or heard something that no one else could see or hear.
Children are more tuned in to A wareness because their mind hasn’ t yet covered
A wareness over  with a whole array of mental concepts and beliefs. Under the
age of two and a  half, children are pure, simple A wareness. They don’ t have the
experience of being separate, wh ich is why they refer to themselves in the third
person. On seeing herself in a photograph, two-year -old Sarah  will point andsay, “Th at’ s Sarah!” She won’ t say, “That’ s me,” because she’ s not yet
experiencing herself  as a “m e,” a separate person. H er experience is that there’ s
only One and she is it, and everyone else is it.
“There’ s nothing out there but our consciousness. The re’ s only one

Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
A wareness or Consciousness is all through your body and everywhere outside
your body; A wareness can’ t be contained within your body because A wareness
is formless. It would be like trying to contain space in a jar; of course, space is
both inside the jar and everywh ere outside the jar. In fact, the jar is in space,
just as all bodi es are in A war eness. Ab solutely everything is con tained in
A wareness, and it’ s the reason why the enlightened beings’ expe rience of life is
that they  are everything—becau se they ar e  e veryth ing. And as A wareness, so
are you!
