/G0E/G01/G10/G0B/G04/G01
expanded perspective of Source  energy’s infinite intelligence,
and simply trust it to guide the flow of our highest good.  It is a process of relaxing into that level of trust.  In listening to my urges to /G0C/G15/G0B/G0E/G0E/G09/G1A/G01/G24/G16/G13/G08/G13/G0F /G01/G02/G03/G01/G0F/G19/G01/G07/G1C/G03/G01/G27/G08/G04/G16/G10/G01/G0A/G07/G05/G01/G0B/G04/G12/G0C/G02/G03/G0E/G09/G01/G13/G07/G08/G0D/G0C/G04/G11/G01
with listening to my urges to /G17/G08/G13/G0F/G09  (without even knowing
what I /G14/G07/G12/G10/G11  write), I allowed the flow of Source energy to
guide me to my scribing purpose, without really knowing that was happening.  It is a kind of trust that I believe exists within all of us.  It begins with a willingness to try, and to listen An “Already Is” Twist on Living the Law of Attraction 51
at a deeper level within ourselve s.  Our willingness is a critical
bridge that closes the non-physical gap /G24/G06 /G1E/G09/G0F/G17/G09/G09/G0E/G01/G17/G15/G09/G08/G09/G01/G17/G09/G01/G0B/G08/G09/G01
and that which we /G05/G06/G03/G07/G05/G08/G04/G09/G05/G03/G07 /G01/G0F/G15/G0B/G0F/G01/G17/G09/G01/G0B/G08/G09/G01/G1E/G09/G0C/G10/G25/G13/G0E/G1F /G20/G01/G01/G17/G04/G01
already are what we are becomi ng, because we already are our
divine, infinite, limitless, creative, Source-filled selves.  We are simply moving toward expansion, to experience greater depths
of our divine perfection.  Ha ving the willingness builds the
bridge that brings into our lives the rich goodness that already is and that awaits us all, from the world of  the non-physical and
the world of the unseen.  I am still amazed at how I questioned
the content for these book chapters, and how most of the information was already waitin g within my notebooks,
smiling back at me, as if to say, “ /G27/G05/G2E/G13/G05/G06/G18/G05/G05/G0C/G06/G02/G05/G09/G05/G06/G01/G02/G05/G06/G14/G02/G07/G10/G05/G06
time. /G01/G01Everything already is.  Your purpose aligned with the simple
willingness to be led by the expansive broader perspective of Source
intelligence - which knows all things at all times, for highest good.
For your highest good.” /G01
/G01 /G2E/G07/G0F/G04/G10/G02/G0F/G04/G16/G09/G01/G02/G03/G01/G12/G01/G03/G08/G0F/G22/G04/G05/G01/G07/G0A/G01/G13/G12/G16/G04/G16/G09/G01/G04/G26/G12/G13/G10/G0C/G19/G01/G1C/G0B/G12/G10/G01/G1C/G04/G01/G03/G04/G04/G11/G01
to be doing is exactly what we /G0F/G09/G05 doing.  If we can turn to our
heart’s wisdom - of what we are being guided to do, and truly listen, Source can take us where we desire to go.  The Source-ful message about the law of attraction for this chapter came in the following channeling, which I ha ve transcribed for you.  This
message strung together many of their teachings about the “already is” state and how to manife st the rich life that we truly
want.  Here is a new twist, for perhaps a greater understanding
of, the law of the attraction.
You wonder about your intentio ns, your inner desires, and
your freedom.  Nothing /G06/G03/G04/G06/G05/G13/G05/G09/G06/G16/G05/G08/G01/G06/G17/G09/G07/G19/G06/G1A/G07/G12/G0A/G06/G06/G1C/G01/G06/G04/G03/G19/G08/G10/G1A/G06
waits to be called energetically /G0C/G01 /G06/G1A/G07/G12/G0A/G06/G06 /G27/G0D/G0A/G01/G1C/G10/G12/G28 /G06/G0D/G07/G0C/G01/G03/G0C/G12/G05/G06/G01/G07
call from a place of “still want ing,” that energy creates “still
wanting.”
I would say to myself:
The __(Name your desire here.)__
’s goodness flows within me
now.  The riches I have already won enable me to afford all that
I physically desire.  I feel wealth  in every part of my being,
and it serves me well. /G15/G07/G16/G0F/G02/G13/G01/G17/G04/G12/G0C/G10/G0B

/G2Find the cleanest, clearest truth – that is /G04/G01/G02/G03 /G06/G01/G09/G12/G01/G02/G24/G06/G01/G07/G06
resonate with the desire you are dreaming, and you see how
easy it is to harmonize drea ms into physical existence.
Harmonize an “already is” truth /G27/G0F/G15/G0B/G0F/G01/G1C/G10/G12/G01/G0C/G15/G10/G10/G19/G09/G01 – that

– and the desire is /G05/G06/G12/G05/G04/G0F/G09 /G14/G03/G01/G02/G03/G0C/G06/G09/G05/G0F/G0D/G02/G24/G06/G05/G0F/G04/G03/G10/G1A/G06/G0F/G0C/G11/G06/G05/G17/G17/G07/G09/G01/G10/G05/G04/G04/G10/G1A/G0A/G06/G06
Find the light of the “already is” state that attracts you in the
desire or dream, and feel that li ght within you as well.  Hone
that feeling of vibration – beca use you already knew it or you
wouldn’t have “wanted” it.  Then  let go of wanting and simply

yourself into the feeling of the desire. /G27/G24/G0B/G1C/G28/G01 /G1C/G06experience my desire /G01again and again, because I
steadily choose the vibrat ion I wish to match.  I feel the
vibration in my desire that I relate to the most easily
and generously, and then I craft my inner feeling place
every day to simply feel and think about the easy generous vibration of that desire /G27/G0B/G01/G25/G0B/G0F/G0C/G15/G13/G0E/G1F/G01/G0F/G08/G12/G0F/G15/G01/G0F/G15/G0B/G0F/G01

 VIOLET  CONSUMING  FLAME
DISSOLVES  AND  CONSUMES  YOUR  OWN  INDI-
VIDUAL  CREATION,  SO  YOU  MAY  NOT  LOOK
UPON  IT.  YOU  NO  LONGER  FEEL  ITS  EFFECTS.
YOU  CANNOT  IMAGINE  EVEN  IN YOUR  FOND-
EST  IMAGINATION,  WHAT  THAT  MEANS  TO
YOU!
Utilize  This  Power,  Beloved  Students,  and  call your  Pres-264 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
ence  into  action  as never  before;  to use the Violet  Consum-
ing Flame  thru  your  physical  body,  your  mental  and  feeling
world  with  dynamic  power!  Already  you  have  consumed
the larger  percent—I  mean  ALL  EARNEST  SINCERE
STUDENTS—have  consumed  the larger  percent  of their
own  accumulation;  but  there  are some  who  are trying  to
do this  with  their  intellects.  They  are not  producing  the
results  in their  feeling  world.  I say to you  today,  be sure
your  feeling  is following  the activity  of your  attention.
Then,  what  do I mean  by that  in regard  to the Violet
Consuming  Flame?  If you  say just  from  your  neck  up:
" 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'!  dissolve  and  consume  all my
discordant  accumulation  by the Power  of the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame,"  a slight  result  is produced;  but if you  are
aware,  your  feeling  is sustaining  your  call,  then  you  will
find Results  which  are astonishing,  take  place  in your  Life.
Watch  your  feeling  follows  your  Call  or the Power  of your
attention  in everything  you  do. Whether  it be in your  outer
business  or what  it is, makes  no difference;  the same  Law  is
acting,  whether  it is for your  own  Purification  or your  bus-
iness.
As you  understand  this,  you  will  compel  your  feeling  to
arise  as it were,  and  go forth  on the Power  of your  attention.
That  is the Power  of Accomplishment.  You  have  heard  Us
say mankind  in the past  has used  only  one of the Trinity  of
Action;  sometimes  Power,  sometimes  Divine  Love,  some-
times  Wisdom;  but just  one  in itself,  is not sufficient  in the
World  today.  Divine  Love  is not sufficient,  because  It lacks DISCOURSE  XVIII  265
the Discrimination,  which  is within  Wisdom;  and  on the
other  hand,  if Power  is not acting  the  force  of action  is
lacking,  to produce  quick  results.
Today,  in order  to relieve  mankind  from  the mistakes  of
the past,  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  forth  This  Under-
standing  and  the Eye  Picture  before  you  of your  own  God
Presence;  which  compels  Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  to act
in Perfect  Balance  at your  call to the "I AM  Presence."  You
will see then  how  constant,  how  definite  it has  made  the
Balanced  Action  of Life  in you  and  your  world.  Without
It, you  only  have  partial  results,  because  one  element  has
been  missing,  sometimes  two;  but today  in the Call  to your
Presence,  there  cannot  be anything  lacking  or missing  in
the Total  Result,  and  the Completeness  of It which  you
require.
As you  understand  this,  you  will  see how  Self-evident  it
is, and  with  that  will  come  an ease,  rest  and  confidence  in
your  feeling,  which  never  was  there  before.  This  is what
your  feeling  needs.  It has been  so accustomed  to agitation,
worry,  disturbance,  doubts  and  fear.  Oh yes,  disturbed  feel-
ing has  been  acting  a thousand  times,  when  you  did  not
even  imagine  it! That  is the worst  part  of it. If you  were
only  aware  of all these  things,  you  could  stop  them;  but if
you are unaware  of them,  how  can you  stop  them  or have
any effect  upon  them ?
In the Great  Understanding  of This  Law  of the "I AM
Presence,"  again  you  have  the Same  Trinity  of Action  thru
your  physical  form,  which  is called  forth  from  your  Pres-266 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
ence,  and  again  it is the Balancing  Activity.  You  have  your
vision,  your  attention  and  your  power  of qualification;  act-
ing within  the human  form  and  feeling  world.  It again  is
the Balance;  cooperating  Perfectly  with  the  Call  to the
Presence,  which  is Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  in Action.
Dear  Ones,  if you  were  to see in the past,  how  your  Power
of qualification  has been  acting  and  clothing  your  Energy,
producing  just  the opposite  results  from  which  you  intend,
you would  be so astonished!  No words  could  explain.  To-
day, that  is fast being  remedied;  and  as We watch  the Activ-
ity within  the Life  Streams  of Individuals  who  are earnest,
sincere  students,  We see the constant  change.  In eighty  per-
cent—notice  how  tremendous—in  eighty  percent,  the re-
sults  are tremendous.
I touch  upon  this  point  to give  you  the Strength,  and  En-
couragement,  to know  you  are not failing  in your  Applica-
tion;  not  even  the one  who  is producing  the least  results.
Please  feel This;  for who  of you shall  say what  moment,  you
will strike  a Certain  Vibratory  Action.  The  Power  of your
Presence  releases  in one  tremendous  sweep,  and  brings  you
to the point  of Balance,  wherein  comes  the Great  Release
from  your  Presence,  governing  all activities  in your  world.
Sometimes  Individuals  have  thought  in the  Magazine,
there  were  contradictions  of that  which  is in the books.  It
is not so! Dear  Ones,  the books  give  the Fundamental  Law
of Life!  In the Magazine,  different  angles  of that  Law  are
touched  upon;  and  if there  seems  to be a contradiction,  re-
member  it is only  referring  to Another  Activity,  another DISCOURSE  XVIII  267
Explanation  of the Same  Mighty  Thing.  So do not let your
human  mind  begin  to feel,  there  are contradictions  in This
Activity.  It is impossible  in the Ascended  Masters'  Work.
So if there  seems  to be, it is just  a lack  of discrimination
within  the human  intellect,  which  makes  you  feel it for the
moment,  because  of the suggestion  which  is given  forth.
There  are a few unfortunate  Individuals  who  have  spread
the falsehood,  the Ascended  Masters  had  made  mistakes;
the Messengers  had  made  mistakes;  and  in Beloved  Saint
Germain's  dismissal  of certain  Individuals,  said:  "Could  an
Ascended  Master  have  written  Those  Words" ? Well,  They
just did!  Because  it was  imperative  to place  that  human
viciousness  where  it could  no longer  misrepresent  the
Truth,  in the pretense  of representing  This  Law.
Every  Individual  who  condemns  the  Messengers  and
This  Work,  will  find  himself  or herself  out of the Radiance
of the Ascended  Masters.  Not  only  that,  but  those  Indi-
viduals


 crisis. Stop all eating. That also means
no fruit or fruit juices. At regular intervals drink large
amounts of hot, distilled water, add a little  honey with
lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Eat and drink nothing
else. See that you have a good circulation of pure air in your
bedroom. Don’t read, listen to the radio or watch TV! Justsleep and rest – nothing else. Above all, don’t waste precious
energy talking to relatives and friends! Go into seclusion to
cleanse and recharge. You are on God’s cleansing table.
How long should you fast during a winter healing
crisis or, for that matter, a summer healing crisis? They
can happen at any time of the year, but generally strikein cold weather. In most instances,
 3 days of restful
fasting will put you on your feet again. But sometimes
it may take a week or  10 days to do a successful job.
Don’t quibble about it! You will find that you will be in
better health after the healing crisis. If you will work
with your Vital Force, you will flush out a tremendousamount of internal poison. Just don’t panic! MotherNature is very wise and she knows what is best for you.
If you have faith and confidence in Mother Nature,
you will always work with her. I reared
 5 children and
when the sniffles hit them, I had them fast and rest. In
a few days they would snap out of the healing crisis and
be their same robust selves again. My grandchildrenfollowed this program... and now my great-
grandchildren are following it! To most people this
program seems too simple – they feel that they must door take something. They are filled with fear.
There is absolutely nothing to fear as long as Mother
Nature is working to keep you alive and healthy. She knowsbest and will see you through any crisis, because she is
God’s own physician! Each person should regard his health
as the most precious blessing that he can possess and shouldattempt to understand his body which is so “ fearfully and
wonderfully made ”. Do maintain your precious body in
Supreme Health as the Bragg Motto states in
3 John 2.127The Body is Self-Healing & Self-Repairing
Every man is not only the “Master Builder” of his
character, but also the custodian of his health and
physical well-being. N ot only has the Creator endowed
man with a “God-like” body, but He has given him awonderful mind and r easoning power. Humans are
capable of comprehending and putting to use all the
natural resources for self-health and self-healing which
have been so generously placed at their  disposal.
The Miracle of Fasting is another way to help yourself
to Higher H ealth. Mother Nature gives us simple healing
remedies. We must be w illing to cooperate w ith M other
Nature and conform our lives to her unchangeable laws.
Following the “Natural Way of Living” we can recapture
the precious bloom of youth through the gifts of physical,
mental and spiritual regeneration. There are no shortcuts
to health! Mother Nature expects us to do our part. Whenyou fast you are working with Mother Nature. God and
Mother N ature w on’t perform a miracle until we are
willing to bring our lives and habits into conformity withTheir Eternal Laws of Health.
It’s my honest and sincere belief that nobody should
ever promise to cure anyone of their physical misery.To promise anyone a cure means that someone is trying
to play both God and Mother Nature and no humancan promise you the results that They can perform!
By combining fasting and eating only healthy, natural
foods,  you  can attain a more youthful, healthful life. Healingis an internal biological function that only the body canperform. By fasting you are helping your body do itscleansing work efficiently. Mother Nature is continuallyworking to keep you alive and well. So when Mother Naturestarts a healing crisis (colds, flu, etc.), she knows what she isdoing, be thankful and fast and help your body detox.
Fasting is the greatest assistance you can provide your
body, because you are letting all of your Vital Force pushthe toxic poisons out of your entire body so you can becleaner and healthier and more youthful!
Fasting is for internal cleansing, purification, to stay healthy and youthful.128

Wisdom thoroughly learned, will never be forgotten. – PythagorasFasting is a Miraculous Rebirth & Resurrection!
Let me tell you honestly what fasting can do for you.
This natural miracle can help reverse the premature ageing
process for you. From this minute on, you could take anew lease on life! It has been proven by some of the world’sgreatest scientists that fasting is the magic key that opensthe door to agelessness and youthfulness.
Scientists have been experimenting for years on worms,
white rats and guinea pigs, and they have discovered someremarkable scientific facts. They fasted these laboratoryanimals and, in between fasts, they fed them scientificallybalanced, natural diets. A miracle occurred – they gotyounger and lived longer! These scientists are single-mindedand want only facts, and the facts revealed the truth. (We
praise these honest scientists and all dedicated health crusaders.)
See this interesting research website: www.walford.com
Fasting not only slows down the ageing clock, but it
produces a healthy youthfulness and rebirth in the body.In my years supervising fasts, I have seen thousands ofunbelievable miracles happen to people of all ages.
I remember a Bragg health student named Martin
Cornica who had spent many years working in the filmindustry. He was about
 40 when he realized he was ageing
prematurely. He regarded himself as a middle-aged man.And why shouldn’t he? Since the average life expectancyof an American today is
76.7 years if lucky, he decided
that at 40 he had lived half of his life. So he slowed his
pace to that of a typical middle-aged man, as millions do.
In his younger days Martin Cornica had been a
champion tennis player. But he had discarded his tennisracket because he felt the


 tendencies:
overexacting moral standards impossible to live up to and pride in
being invulnerable, aloof, and superior. The coexistence of these
mutually exclusive ways presents a particular hardship for the
psyche. Needless to say, the conscious awareness of this
contradiction is missing until this particular work is well in
progress.
There are many more facets, possibilities, and individual pseudo-
solutions combining all sorts of mutually exclusive behaviors. All
this has to be found individually.
Let us now consider some of the general eects of the existence of
the idealized self and some of the implications. Since the standards
and dictates of the idealized self are impossible to realize, and yet
you never give up the attempt to uphold them, you cultivate within
yourself an inner tyranny of the worst order. You do not realize the
impossibility of being as perfect as your idealized self demands, and
never give up whipping yourself, castigating yourself, and feeling a
complete failur e whenever it is proven that you cannot live up to its
demands. A sense of abject worthlessness comes over you whenever
you fall short of these fantastic demands and engulfs you in misery.
This misery may at times be conscious but most of the time it is not.
Even if it is, you do not realize the entire signi cance, the
impossibility of what you expect from yourself. When you try to
hide your reactions to your own “failure,” you use specia l means to
avoid seeing it. One of the most common devices is to project the
blame for “failure” into the outer world, onto others, onto life.
The more you try to identify with your idealized self-image, the harder
the disillusionment whenever life brings you into a position where this
masquerade can no longer be maintained. Many  a personal crisis is
based on this dilemma, rather than on outer diculties. Thesediculties then become an added menace beyond their objective
hardship. The existence of the diculties is a proof to you that you
are not your idealized self, and this robs you of the false self-
condence you tried to establish with the creation of the idealized
self. There are personality types who know perfectly well that they
cannot identify  with their idealized self. But they do not know this
in a healthy way. They despair. They believe they ought to be able
to live up to it. Their whole life is permeated with a sense  of failure,
while the former type experi ences it only on more consc ious levels
when outer and inner conditions culminate in showi ng up the
phantom of the idealized self for what it really is: an illusion, a
pretense, a dishonesty. It amounts to saying: “I know I am
imperfect, but I make believe I am perfect.” Not to recognize this
dishonesty is comparatively easy when rationalized by
conscientiousness, honorable  standards and goals, and a desire to be
good.
Self-Acceptance
The genuine desire to better oneself leads one to accept one’s
personality as it is now. If this basic premise is the main governing
force of your motivation for perfection, any discovery of where you
fall short of your ideals will not throw you into depressio n, anxiety,
and guilt, but will rather strengthen you. You will not need to
exaggerate the “badness” of the behavior in question, nor will you
defend yourse lf against it with the excuse that it is the fault of
others, of life, of fate. You will gain an objective view of yourself in
this respect, and this view will liberate you. You will fully assume
responsibility for the faulty attitude, being willing to take the
consequences upon yourself. When you act out your idealized self,
you dread nothing more than that, for taking the responsibility of
your shortcom ings upon yourself is tantamount to saying, “I am not
my idealized self.”The Inner Tyrant
Feelings of failure, frustratio n, and compulsion, as well as guilt
and shame, are the most outstanding indications that your idealized
self is at work. These are the consciously felt emotions  out of all
those that lie hidden underneath. Actually, the basis of the tyranny
of the idealized self-image is the sense of false shame  and false guilt
that this image  produces when one cannot live up to it. In addition,
the idealized self also manifests false needs, which are superimposed
and articially created, like the need for glory, the need to triumph,
to satisfy vanity or pride. The pursuit of these needs never results in
true fulllment.
The idealized self has been called into existence in order to attain
self-condence and therefore, nally, happiness, pleasure supreme.
The stronger its presence, the more genuine self-condence fades
away. Since you cannot live up to its standards, you think even less
of yourself than you origin ally did. It is therefore obvious that
genuine self-condence can be established only when you remove
the superstructure, which is this merciless tyrant, your idealized
self.
Yes, you could have self-co ndence if the idealized self were
really you; and if you could live up to these standards. Since this is
impossible and since, deep down, you know perfectly well you are
not anything like what you think you are supposed to be, you build
up additional insecurity with this “super self,” and further vicious
circles come into existence. The original insecurity, which was
supposedly whisked away by the establishment of the idealized self,
steadily increa ses. It snowballs, and becomes worse and worse. The
more insecure you feel, the more stringent the demands of the
superstructure or idealized self, the less you are able to live up to it,
and the more insecure you feel. It is very important to see how this
vicious circle works. But this cannot be done until and unless you
become fully aware of the devious, subtle, unconscious ways in
which this idealized self-ima ge exists in your particular case. Askyourself in what particular areas it manifests. What causes and
eects are connected with it?
Estrangement from the Real Self
A furth er and drastic result of this problem is the constantly
increasing estrangement from the real self. The idealized self is a
falsity. It is a rigid, articiall y constructed imitation of a live human
being. You may invest it with many aspects of your real being;
nevertheless, it remains an articial construct. The more you invest
your energies, your persona lity, your thought processes, concepts,
ideas, and ideals into it, the more strength you take from the center
of your being, which alone is amenable to growth. This center of
your being is the only part of you, the real you, that can live, grow,
and be. It is the only part that can properly guide you. It alone
functions with all your capacities. It is exible and intuitive. Its
feelings alone are true and valid even if, for the moment, they are
not yet fully in truth and reality, in perfection and purity. But the
feelings of the real self function in perfection relative to what you
are now. The more you take out of that live center in order to invest
into the robot you have created, the more estranged you become
from the real self and the more you weaken and impoverish it.
In the course of this work, you have sometimes come upon the
puzzling and often frightenin g question: “Who am I really?”  This is
the result of the discrepancy and struggle between the real and the
false self. Only upon solving  this most vital and profoun d question
will your live center respond and function to its full capacity, will
your intuition begin to function to its full capacity, will you become
spontaneous, free of all compulsions, will you trust in your feelings
because they will have an opportunity to mature and grow. Feelings
will become every bit as reliable to you as your reasoning power
and your intellect.
All this is the nal nding of self. Before this can be done, a great
many hurdles have to be overcome. It seems to you that this is a
life-or-death struggle. You still believe you need the idealized self inorder to live and be happy. Once you understand that this is not so,
you will be able to give up the pseudo-defense that makes the
maintenance and cultivation of the idealized self seem so necessary.
Once you understand that the idealized self was supposed to solve
the particular problems in your life above and beyond your need for
happiness, pleasure, and security, you will come to see the wrong
conclusion of this theory. Once you go a step still further and
recognize the damage the idealized self has brought into your life,
you will shed it as the burden it is. No conviction, theory, or words
you hear will make you give it up, but the recognition of what
specically it was supposed to solve and what damage it has done
and is continui ng to do will enable you to dissolve this image of all
images.
Needless to say, you also have to recognize most particularly and
in detail what your idealized  self’s specic

9.2 Policy options for the European Commission
• Future  research sponsored by the EC, should incorporate the following recommendations:

a) That the living systems under investigation be exposed to the emissions of an actual mobile

24
 phone, as opposed to those of a ‘surrogate’, since the emissions from the former can be expected
to have a quite different biological impact, in consequence of certain pulse frequency differences.

b) That in assessing the significance to humans of results obtained using animals, particular
attention be given to differences in exposure conditions, such as whether exposure is size-resonant or non-resonant, whether it is to the near or far field of the antenna, and whether whole-body or of more localised exposure occurs.

c) That systematic investigation be made of the influence of different kinds of pulsing (of real
phones) on the human EEG, and ideally on the MEG, and of whether any observed changes in
power spectra are correlated with changes in the level of deterministic chaos.

d) That use be made of novel, non-invasive technologies, such as biophoton emission, to
investigate the influence of mobile phone radiation on living systems.

e) That in assessing the noxiousness of mobile phone radiation more attention be paid to lessons
that have been learnt from exposure to other kinds of related radio frequency fields, such as those from the Skrunda, military and police radars.

f) That, in the light of reports of cattle being quite seriously adversely affected at farms where
there is a base-station, a veterinary monitoring service be established to collect and analyse such reports, and raise awareness amongst farmers of this potential hazard to their livestock.

• Attempts should be made – perhaps under the aegis of national regulatory bodies - to increase
awareness of the fundamentally electromagnetic nature of the alive organism, and of its associated hypersensitivity to coherent, ultraweak electromagnetic signals of technological origin.

[Until this is achieved, the necessity of extending existing thermally based safety guidelines, by
incorporating therein the dimension of electromagnetic biocompatibility, is unlikely to be accepted, and the public will remain vulnerable to any adverse health effects provoked by non-thermal electromagnetic influences on the alive human organism.]

9.3 Technological options at the operational level
Whilst the question of precisely how adverse health effects can be provoked by non-thermal
influences of the pulsed microwave radiation currently employed in GSM  telecommunication, as well
as those from ELF fields associated with other technologies, is far from resolved, the circumstantial
evidence consistent with such influences suggests at least two ways in which biocompatibility with this technology could be enhanced by interventions involving the fields alone:

• In the case of exposure to GSM radiation, reduce intensities to the level below which no adverse
effects have been empirically found in exposed populations, bearing in mind that there are indications of non-thermal thresholds for biological effects of the order of microwatt/cm
2.  Power
densities a few tenths  of this value are common at distances of 150-200m from a typical 15m
high Base-station mast and within the range of the more localised side-lobes in the immediate vicinity of a mast - adverse effects being reported at both locations.  Incorporating a further
safety factor of 10 indicates that, at locations where there is any long-term exposure, power
densities should not exceed 10 nano W/cm
2.

[To appeal to the (alleged) absence of health problems associated with the higher power density
electromagnetic fields associated with radio/TV transmissions in an attempt to justify the retention of the present level of emission from GSM  Base-stations is untenable on at least two accounts: ( i) the nature of

25
 the emissions are quite different, with respect to carrier frequencies, modes of transmission
(pulsed/analogue), and beam morphology, ( ii) there are94-96 health problems connected with some  such
transmitters, contrary to what is often claimed!]

• Ensure that there is no ELF frequencies – either of amplitude modulations (including pulsing, as
the extreme case) of RF fields, or of other electric /magnetic fields - in the range of human
electrical brain-wave activity, or windows of calcium efflux.

[In the case of exposure to GSM radiation, this will be achieved, to a certain extent, with the advent of the
Third Generation of mobile phones ( UMTS ) that utilise CDMA in place of TDMA.   For although any
sensitivity to the microwave carrier will remain, the pulsing used in CDMA  is irregular ; accordingly,
CDMA  radiation cannot enjoy the same ‘oscillatory similitude’ with the human brain-wave activity and
electrochemical processes as does TDMA.  In consequence, however, of the somewhat higher carrier
frequency used, which is closer to where water strongly absorbs microwaves, thermal  effects could here
become more of a problem, particularly in view of the somewhat higher powers at which they operate!  The introduction of TETRA, similarly gives rise to an increased  level of (non-thermal) concern, for the
reasons already stated in Section B-1.]

  B-10. Conclusions

Absorption of microwave radiation causes heating of biological tissue, which if excessive is deleterious to health; this is undisputed, and forms the basis of current Safety Guidelines, both national and international.  In the case of exposure to the microwave radiation used in GSM, these
Guidelines are generally not violated.  Indeed, in the case of the emissions from base-stations, it has been repeatedly confirmed by field measurements that the emissions are far below - by many orders
of magnitude - the limits set by the Guidelines.  What is currently disputed, however, is whether, in
the case of the alive human organism, this radiation can exert other, more subtle, kinds of non-thermal influences, which might also entail adverse health consequences.  The root of the continuing public concern is that if this is, in fact, the case, then the existing guidelines afford an inadequate level of protection, in that they leave an exposed person vulnerable to these non-thermal hazards.    As has been explained, the heating ability of microwave radiation depends primarily on its intensity, and it is essentially only this that the Guidelines restrict.  Non-thermal  effects, on the other hand,
depend primarily on the existence of an ‘oscillatory similitude’ between the frequencies of the radiation and those of certain endogenous biological electrical activities that the organism supports when alive, which effectively opens it to informational aspects of the radiation; it is this dimension of the problem that is not addressed by existing Safety Guidelines.  Whilst the existence of non-thermal influences is readily accepted in the case of active electronic instrumentation exposed to GSM  radiation, the same does not currently prevail in the case of the
alive human organism, which is generally considered immune to any effect other than heating, despite the fact that, in the case of mobile phone use, the brain (the most sensitive organ of the body)
is, for the first time in its evolutionary history, being exposed at short range to a source of both pulsed microwaves (from near-field of the antenna) and more highly penetrating ELF magnetic fields
(from the battery).  This conviction continues to persist - particularly in Regulatory Circles - despite the fact that the possibility of non-thermal influences on living systems of the kind of radiation used in mobile telephony is a rather general prediction of modern, non-linear biophysics, and one that is

26
 supported by 30 years of evidence, both of non-thermal effects per se, and of associated adverse
health reactions, in particular – not only from exposure to GSM radiation, but also to that from other kinds of installations that emit microwave and RF radiation of an intensity at locations of human and
animal exposure that is comparable to that realised several hundreds of metres from a base-station.    Two principal reasons for this state of affairs have been identified: 1) the negative outcome of some attempts to independently replicate certain non-thermal effects, even in vitro, the acceptance of
which is not helped by their often counterintuitive nature (but only from a linear perspective), and 2) uncertainty as to whether such effects (assuming they are real) necessarily entail adverse health
reactions.  Both these problems have been addressed, and attention drawn ( i) to the fact that
difficulties in corroboration are actually to be expected as a hall-mark of the ‘alive’, and thus s hould,
more positively, be accepted as a ‘biological fact of life’, and ( ii) to the existence of a certain
empirical consistency between the contentious non-thermal effects and the types of adverse health effects (mainly neurological) reported by some people when exposed to GSM  radiation, as well as
that (the indication of an increased incidence of brain cancer amongst mobile phone users) found epidemiological – a consistency that further enhances the credibility of the non–thermal effects, and one that will hopefully motivate further research (from the necessary non-linear standpoint, of course) towards establishing their causal connections with presenting pathologies.  In conclusion, and in accord with philosophy espoused by the World Health Organisation, it can hardly be disputed that to enjoy an acceptable quality of life requires more than simply an absence of terminal disease.  In this respect, even adverse health effects of a non-life threatening kind  that might
be provoked by exposure to GSM  radiation  must be considered unacceptable, in that they
undoubtedly have a debilitating effect that undoubtedly undermines the general well-being of those affected, and which in


 learn.
   Over the years, I have come in contact with many very sick people and heard them
utter a statement such as, "I wish I was dead." I didn't have much respect for a person
who could make a remark like that. Too dramatic, I thought. But then I had never
before been in any situation to warrant that kind of thinking. Never had I grasped the
full significance of someone wishing for death. Never, that is, until now. The increasing intestinal spasms, diarrhea up to thirty times a day, bleeding, pain,
poisonous effects of the drugs on my mind and body, plus a few other incidentals, had
put my life at such a low ebb that I finally did contemplate taking my life--suicide.
Suicide? It was difficult for me to realize that here I was considering something I had always abhorred.
   The thought would creep into my mind at various intervals during the day, but more
often on my "bad" days. As I recall, at this time, in the latter half of 1963, there were
no "good" days. I tried desperately to rid my mind of these thoughts, to think of
pleasantries and to see things in a positive perspective. But for me there were no
pleasantries and I had already become a negative person. Only 33 years old, but I had lived a lifetime.
   Corinne lived in constant fear and anticipation that each day I went to my office
might be the last time she would see me alive. I don't think she realized the
justification for these feelings because she never knew my inner thoughts, my deepest
and most private thoughts, although I believe she knew I was capable of causing my
own demise. But could I? It was this uncertainty that kept her in a constant state of tension and anxiety.
   After all, I did have the means. The necessary pills were in a drug cabinet in my
office. Being an expert pistol shooter and enjoying the sport, I owned a revolver. There were many days I would sit in my office and weigh in my mind which method
would be better. How would it feel with an overdose? How would it feel with a
bullet? I found it impossible to use my imagination with either method, though I
finally reasoned that the pills might be too slow. Quickly! That was the way I wanted
it to be. The decision was made. Now, do I have enough guts to do it? I knew I could not go on in the same manner. I was tired of pain, tired of suffering, tired of
vegetating--was tired of life. In my spare time at my office, I would sit back and
fondle the gun, hefting its weight and tossing it from hand to hand. Once in a while I
would mockingly place it to my head, then quickly pull it away as if it might accidentally go off by some quirk of fate. "It would be so quick," I thought. I
wondered if there would be much pain. Even so, "It wouldn't last long," I surmised.
   The weeks and months rolled by and I was still playing my little game, but I could
not bring myself to pull the trigger. Call it fear, cowardice, ethics, or whatever. Perhaps it was my moral and religious background. I knew that other people would
suffer for the rest of their lives--my moth er and father, my close relatives, my
children, and my wife. I couldn't do that to them. There must be another way.
Subconsciously, believe it or not, I still had hope. And there was to be another way
soon, a miracle, but not just yet. There was still more agony to experience. It was as if I had to fulfill certain requirements before  I could "graduate," before I would be
permitted to have body and soul reborn.
   About this time, along came another complication which I could have done without-
-hemorrhoids. This almost reinforced my suicidal contemplation, but it kept me too
busy to think about it. I had had some small hemorrhoids during the last year or two,
but because of increased rectal spasms and diarrhea with much straining, the small
ones got worse and many more developed, both internally and externally. This was
accompanied by bleeding and intense pain. The pain became intolerable with each
B.M. attempted. I couldn't determine if the bleeding was coming from the ulcerated colon, the hemorrhoids, or both.
   Dr. Kale tried to be conservative in the management of this problem since I was still
tapering down the steroid doses. I was advised on hot Sitz baths and instructed to use another drug called Anusol-HC, which is a suppository with cortisone, to be inserted
several times a day. Talk about pain! I worked up a cold sweat each time I tried to
push one of the suppositories past the hemorrhoids. I eventually had to stop this part
of the treatment.
   Of course, my ulcerative colitis was still under medical care and the many drugs
were regularly shifted from one dose to another. But the most enervating experience
now was the fact that each time I would see Dr. Kale, he would have to use the sigmoidoscope. This caused so much pain as it was pushed past the hemorrhoids that I
had to be all but held down during this procedure, which left me depleted physically and emotionally for a day or two.
   I found it very difficult to sit and also stand due to the severity of the hemorrhoids.
The pain was almost unbearable. Cushions did not help. There was almost no
comfortable position except over on my abdomen, but this position caused pressure
on my colon, which forced its spasm, making it compulsory for me to rush to the
lavatory.
   Dr. Kale was unhappy--but not as unhappy  as I--with this situation. He referred me
to a surgeon who, after much poking around, decided to needle them--inject them
with a medication. I recalled having this procedure performed in 1961 by Dr. Evans
and I didn't look forward to having it done again. Anyway, Dr. Cuttem, the surgeon,
instructed me onto the table. He told me to relax and then, with the accuracy of a
marksman, plunged the needle into the hemorrhoids. When I let out a scream he said, "Does that hurt?" How does one answer a stupid question? With watering eyes I said,
"You get up here and let me do it to you!"    This injection therapy was not too successful and Dr. Cuttem hesitated to repeat the
treatment, probably at the risk of a broken nose. He wouldn't consider surgery at this time due to the severity of the ulcerative co litis, plus the fact of possible danger from
the effects of the still present adrenal cortex atrophy from the cortisone (steroid)
drugs. This decision relieved my mind somewhat, because I did not relish the idea of
a hemorrhoidectomy. I was referred back  to Dr. Kale for follow-up care.
   The Thanksgiving holiday of 1963 had just passed. I remember it well because,
other than my lovely wife, three-year-old son, and soon-to-be-born child, I had very
little for which to be thankful. The onset of what can only be classed as exquisite pain made itself manifest in the hemorrhoid area. I mean pain that caused my eyes to tear.
It felt as though the entire "grapevine" was on fire. I like to refer to these hemorrhoids as a grapevine, for sentimental reasons.
   For the next week or so, I tried various home remedies in addition to hot
compresses. Nothing helped. In fact, the pr oblem worsened in spite of any treatment.
The pain grew so severe that it became intolerable. This necessitated my calling Dr.
Kale for an appointment to see him immedi ately on an urgency basis. I was ushered
into the examining room where I awaited the arrival of Dr. Kale with my fears
elevated and my trousers lowered. He took one look at my posterior, gasped, and said
alarmingly, "I don't like the way this looks. I want you to see the surgeon." The fact
that Dr. Kale wouldn't tell me anything upset me. So I went down the hallway to the office of the surgeon, my old friend, Dr. Cuttem.
   After a thorough examination, which I did not enjoy, including the insertion of a
well-developed finger plus a smaller steel tube called a proctoscope, which caused
extreme discomfort as it was forced past the hemorrhoids, he calmly informed me that
three of the hemorrhoids in my grapevine had gangrene. This was very serious and presented a grave danger to my life.
   For some reason I thought back to the ye ar and a half I spent with the army medical
corps in Korea during the Korean War. We had seen thousands of problems, including gangrene of the fingers and toes, but never ha d I seen or even heard of gangrene of the
hemorrhoids.
   My thoughts returned quickly to the present. I really needed something like this, as
if I didn't have enough complications. Leave it to me to be unique. After the initial
shock of the news wore off, I could finally listen to what the doctor had to say and it
was hardly music to my ears. He told me I was going into the hospital immediately. I

 through the urine,
defecation, perspiration and
breathing. The internal
temperature of the body is
controlled with water. 6
The average body is 98.6o,
if it rises above this normal
temperature we become feverish. If it falls below, we are
physically under par. Water makes up 83% of the blood
in the body and nearly 98% of intestinal, gastric, salivar y
and pancreatic juices. Most older people become
dehydrated and literally dr y up due to insuf ficient water
intake. Their skin and hands look par ched, withered,
dry and old. Look at the wrinkles on their foreheads
and around their eyes. A cur tain of dr y flesh hangs over
their eyes. Other unhealthy results and danger signs of
dehydration are constipat ion, which affects millions,
and also burning, irritating urin ation. Remember, at
least 8 large glasses of distilled water daily works miracles!
Salt (Inorganic Sodium) is a Health W recker
Another side of water imbalance is due to excessive
use of inorganic sodium chloride (salt) and salty foods,
which leads to waterlogged humans. Y ou often see young
children 7 to 10 years and older who are so waterlogged
that they have grotesque, bloated and prematurely
old looking bodies. Just compare them to the adults
with their bloated and puffed-up faces, arms, bellies,
legs, ankles and feet. Don’ t let this happen to you!
Why the Body Needs Pure W ater
The amount of water a body needs depends on
temperatur e, climate, one’ s activities and health – 8
glasses is average. When you drink a glass of water it
goes straight to your stomach. Part of the water is
absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the
walls of your stomach and some of the remainder goes
to your intestines to keep the food you eat in a liquid
state while it is being absorbed; this water is later
absorbed directly into the blood.
Drinking the right kind of water is one of your best
natural protections against all kinds of virus infections
such as influenza, pneumonia, whooping cough, measles
and other infectious diseases. Doctors advise bed-rest
and plenty of water for the flu. When the body’ s tissues
and cells are kept well-supplied with ample water, they
can fight viral attacks mor e efficiently. If the body’ s cells
are water-star ved, they become shriveled-up, par ched
and dr y, making it easy for viruses and diseases to attack.
Always bear in mind the important functions of the
right kind of water in your body. Water is a vital
component of all body fluids, tissues, cells, lymph, blood
and glandular secr etions. W ater holds all nutritive factors
in solution and acts as a transportation medium to the
various parts of the body for these substances. The
mucous membranes need plenty of water to keep them
soft and free from friction on their delicate surfaces.

Pure distilled water is truly God’s greatest gift to us,
a source of life and health. – Paul C. Bragg 8 Liquid is necessar y for the pr oper digestion of food! The
stomach acts as a powerful churn to break down food
into tiny particles. Remember to chew your food
thoroughly to help your stomach, for it has no teeth!
Water Flushes T oxins Out of the Body
One of the most important functions of water is to
flush the toxins and salt fr om the body. Unfortunately,
people the world over now consume large amounts of
salt. But, from centuries ago to the present day, there
are still many countries that have never known what
salt is and whose people are still healthy and happy.
Japanese are known a s the world’ s highest consumers
of table salt (inorganic salt  – sodium chloride) and they
have the highest blood pressure. A Japanese farmer who
lives to 60 eats 2 ounces of salt daily and filters up to
2,737.5 pounds or 1.36 tons of salt through his kidneys in
his lifetime! Heavy salt intake hastens prem ature death!
Americans are not far behind the Japanese in the
consumption of salt. Not only do Americans add plenty
of salt to their foods, they also eat large amounts of ham,
bacon, hot dogs, luncheon meats, corned beef, potato
chips, salted nuts and many other foods with high
concentrations of salt. No wonder heart disease is the
No. 1 killer in America! Even people in their 30s and 40s
suffer from high blood pressure, kidney trouble, arthritis
and the greatest of all killers – arteriosclerosis – the
clogging of the arteries, veins and blood vessels! The
proper amount and right kind of water helps to keep
cholesterol levels down. W ater is a gr eat flushing agent!
The right kind of water is also Mother Natur e’s
greatest beauty and health tonic! In our long careers as
health and fitness advisors to Hollywood’ s famous stars
of movies and TV, we have found that when we can
persuade the stars to use the correct liquids they retain
a more youthful face and figure longer than people who
drink ordinar y tap water. Pure distilled water helps keep
the body’ s cells healthier and pr events dehydration. The
face and neck remain more free of age lines and wrinkles,
while the entire body retains its youthfulness longer! Be a Bragg Health Crusader, copy and share with family, friends, etc.

10 Water is Important to Superb Health
People who ingest a sufficient amount of the right
kinds of liquids (distilled water, fresh organic fruits and
vegetables and their juices) have better health and body
functioning and cir culation overall, which are most
important to Super Health and Long Life.
You have 15billion power ful brain cells which are 75%
water. We strongly believe the right kind of water in
sufficient amounts helps improve your mind and brain
power and makes you think better and more accurately!
We also think that the excessively ner vous and/or
mentally upset person is so obsessed with his own
worries and “hang-ups” that he just forgets to drink
sufficient pure water. Instead, he dopes himself with
alcohol, tea, coffee, diet cola and soft drinks which only
complicate his ner vous condition by introducing
burning, toxic acid into his stomach with no food or
pure water to dilute it. So on top of his nervousness and
depression, he suffers from heartburn, sour acid stomach,
gas, bloating, ener vation and low ener gy. In place of
sufficient pure water, he again dopes up on stimulants,
coffee, soft drinks, cigarettes, aspirin, antacids, etc.
Remember that the nerves need the correct amount
of water to function properly and smoothly. You can
plainly see that it is possible to suffer from water
starvation. Here is a simple way that you can help
yourself to better health – the Natural Pur e Water W ay!
The specific reason we wrote this book was to give
you the knowledge to select the right kind and amount
of water your body so desperately needs! Here is your

Shocking Mutations &  Death from Polluted Water Must Stop!
Deadly chemical pollution is not only mutating but killing millions of wildlife,
fish, etc. worldwide. One USA example: Children in Minnesota discovered and
caught frogs displaying horrible mutations, including eyes growing on their
knees, four hind legs, etc. Scientists have now determined that unidentified
toxic chemicals in the pond and ground water caused these terrible mutations!


risweet does not make it "of the devil."
    And its not all black and white with the oth er items either. Sea salt does have certain redeeming qualities not found in mined salt
and under certain very special conditions, eating small quantities of salt may be acceptable. Similarly, some forms of sugar are not
quite as harmful as other forms, th ough all are harmful.
    The primary health problem caused by table salt is not that it contributes to high blood pressure in people with poor kidneys,
though it does that. It is not that eating salt ruins the kidneys; salt probably does not do that. The  real problem with salt is that
sodium chloride is an adrenal stimulant, triggering the release of adrenal hormones, especially natural steroids that resist
inflammation. When these hormones are at high levels in the blood, the person often feels very good, has a sense of well -being.
Thus salt is a drug! And like many drugs of its type, salt is a habituating drug. However, we are so used to whipping our adr enals
with salt that we don't notice it. What we do notice is that we think we like the taste of salte d food and consider that food tastes flat
without it. But take away a person's salt shaker and they become very uncomfortable. That's because the addict isn't getting their
regular dose.
    What's wrong with repetitive adrenal whipping is that adrenal fo rtitude is variable; many people's adrenals eventually fail to
respond to the prod of salt and the body begins to suffer from a lack of adrenal hormones. Often those inheriting weak adrena ls
manifest semi -failure in childhood. The consequence is that ordin ary, irritating substances begin causing severe irritation. The
person becomes allergic to pollen, dust, foods, animal danders, etc. We see asthma, hay fever, sinusitis, etc. Though one can  then
discover specific allergens and try to remove them from the e nvironment or diet, often this case can be solved far more easily by
complete withdrawal from all salt. This rests the adrenals and they may recover their full function; almost certainly their f unction
will improve. The asthma, allergies and etc., graduall y vanish.
    Most of us don't need to eat salt as a nutrient. There's enough sodium in one dill pickle to run a human body for a year. The re's
enough natural sodium in many types of vegetables to supply normal needs without using table salt. Perhaps athle tes or other hard
working people in the tropics eating deficient food grown on leached -out depleted soils, people that sweat buckets day after day
may need a little extra sodium. Perhaps. Not having practiced in the humid tropics myself, I have no definiti ve answer about this.
    Unfortunately, the average American is entirely addicted to salt and thinks food tastes lousy without it. To please the avera ge
consumer, almost all prepared foods contain far too much salt for someone suffering from exhausted ad renals. Interestingly,
Canadians do not like their foods nearly as salty as Americans, and prepared foods like soups and the like in cans and packag es
that look just like the ones in American supermarkets (though with French on the back panel) have to be r eformulated for our
northern neighbors. I've observed that Canadians are generally healthier than Americans in many respects.
    We would all be far better off consuming no salt at all. Those with allergies or asthma should completely eliminate it for a
month or two and discover if that simple step doesn't pretty much cure them. The trouble is that bakery bread is routinely two
percent salt by weight. Cheese is equally salted or even more so. Canned and frozen prepared food products are all heavily sa lted.
Restaurant meals are always highly salted in the kitchen. If you want to avoid salt you almost have to prepare everything you rself,
bake your own bread, abstain from cheese (though there are unsalted cheeses but even I don't like the flavor of these), and  abstain
from restaurants. My family has managed to eliminate all salt from our own kitchen except for that in cheese, and we eat chee se
rather moderately.
    Sugar is a high -caloric non -food with enormous liabilities. First, from the viewpoint of the uni versal formula for health, no form
of non -artificial sweetener carries enough nutrients with it to justify the number of calories it contains, not even malt extract. W hite
refined sugar contains absolutely no nutrients at all; the "good" or "natural" sweet s also carry so little nutrition as to be next to
useless. Sweets are so far over on the bad end of the Health = Nutrition / Calories scale that for this reason alone they sho uld be
avoided.
    However, healthy people can usually afford a small amount of  sin; why not make it sweets? In small quantity, sugars are
probably the easiest indiscretion to digest and the least damaging to the organ systems. Although, speaking of sin, as Edgar Guest,
the peoples' poet, once so wisely quipped, (and my husband agree s) "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker." Sugar is a powerful
drug! People who abuse sweets set up a cycle of addiction that can be very hard to break. It starts when the body tries to re gulate
blood sugar. Kicked up to high levels by eating sugar, the p ancreas releases insulin. But that is not the end of the chain reaction.
Insulin regulates blood sugar levels but also raises brain levels of an amino acid called tryptophan. Tryptophan is the raw m aterial
the brain uses to manufacture a neurotransmitter c alled serotonin. And serotonin plays a huge role in regulating mood. Higher
brain levels of serotonin create a feeling of well -being. Eating sugar gives a person a chemical jolt of happiness. Heavy hits of
high-glycemic index starch foods are also rapidly converted to sugar. So don't give your kids sweets! Or huge servings of starch to
mellow them out. It is wise not to start out life a happiness addict with a severe weight problem.
    Now that the chemistry of sugar addiction is understood, there currentl y is a movement afoot to cast the obese as helpless
victims of serotonin imbalances and to "treat" them with the same kinds of serotonin -increasing happy drugs (like Prozac) that are
becoming so popular with the psychiatric set. This promises to be a multi ple billion dollar business that will capture all the money
currently flowing into other dieting systems and bring it right back to the AMA/drug company/FDA nexus. The pitch is that whe n
serotonin levels are upped, the desire to eat drops and so is weight.  This approach is popular with the obese because it requires no
personal responsibility other than taking a pill that really does make them feel happy. However, the same benefit can be had by
strict adherence to a low -fat, low -carbohydrate diet. Eventually, the brain chemistry rebalances itself and serotonin levels stabilize.

Remember, the pancreas has another major service to perform for the body: secreting digestive enzymes to aid in the digestion  of
proteins. When the diet contains either too much protein or too much sugar and/or high -glycemic index starch foods, the
overwor ked pancreas begins to be less and less efficient at maintaining both of these functions.
    Sometimes a stressed -out pancreas gets overactive and does too good a job lowering the blood sugar, producing hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia is generally accompanied  by unpleasant symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, irritability, confusion,
headache, etc. This condition is typically alleviated by yet another hit of sugar which builds an addiction not only to sugar, but to
food in general. If the hypog lycemic then keeps on eating sugar to relieve the symptoms of sugar ingestion, eventually the
pancreas becomes exhausted, producing an insulin deficiency, called diabetes. Medical doctors treat diabetes with insulin
supplements either oral or intramuscular


 that a deep depression, a mo -
ment of ecstasy or the taste of tea. It just needs to be seen for what it is. That
is, it just needs to see or recognise itself as it is, before it is coloured or quali -
fied by experience. What is the nature of the ‘you’ – the one you call ‘I’ –
that shines brightly in all your experience?

(Long silence)

Perfect! Stay in that silence and the memory of your eternity will emerge.
Your self will remember itself: not the memory of an experience in the past,
but the memory of something that is present in you now but which seems
to have been obscured by the clamour of experience. Your self will wake up
from the amnesia of experience and recognise or remember the self that it is
and has always been.
     That self – if we can call it a self – divested of the limitations that it seems
to acquire from experience, is without limits, ever-present, immutable and
imperturbable, and thus its nature is peace. It is devoid of any sense of lack,
and thus its nature is unconditional happiness.

It feels neutral.

T o begin with, by contrast with the objects of experience, it may feel neutral,
but in time its innate peace will make itself felt. This is not a peace that is
dependent upon what does or does not take place in experience, nor a peace
that is beyond  experience, but rather the imperturbable peace that is prior to
and shines in the midst of all experience.
     In time, that peace emerges from the background of experience and be -
gins to pervade the foreground, progressively saturating experience with the
feeling of sufficiency, fulfilment and contentment. That quiet, unconditional
peace and joy is the hallmark of this recognition.

61you are the happiness you seek
awareness is never not known

If someone were now to suggest that we become aware of our breathing,
we would relax the focus of our attention from these words and become
aware of our breath. In fact, we do not become  aware of our breath. We were
already aware of it, although our awareness of our breath was eclipsed by our
awareness of these words, our room and whatever else was commanding our
attention prior to this suggestion.
     Awareness is even more subtle than our breathing. It is the silent presence
behind all experience which, like the breath, is always being experienced.
That is, it is always knowing itself, although it often overlooks itself in favour
of objective experience. So it would be more accurate to say that awareness’s
knowledge of itself is partially  obscured by objective experience, and even
then, only seemingly  so.
     Let us take another analogy to illustrate this. Imagine a woman just before
she leaves home for work in the morning. When she thinks of herself, she
thinks of herself as a woman. Now she goes to work at the police station.
She changes into her uniform and starts her day’s work with her colleagues
in the office. She now thinks of herself as a policewoman.
     In both cases, she knows herself as a woman. In the first case, her knowl -
edge of herself as a woman is not qualified by any association or activity.
In the second case, her knowledge of herself as a woman is qualified by her
relationships and activities as a police officer. As a result, she now thinks of
herself as a policewoman; she no longer knows herself as an unqualified
woman.

Likewise, awareness never ceases knowing itself, because self-awareness is its
nature. Its knowing of itself is simply mixed with the content of experience
and so, in most cases, it does not know itself clearly. Awareness partially over-
looks or forgets its knowledge of itself in favour of its knowledge of objec -
tive experience. That is the price it pays for experience.
     Shantananda Saraswati used to tell a story of ten men who swam across
the Ganges. Once on the other side, each man counted the party in order to
ensure that everyone had crossed the river safely. Each man counted only nine.
     A passerby, finding them distraught, enquired as to the reason, and they
explained that one of their friends had drowned. Realising their mistake,
62the silent presence of awareness
he asked one of the men to count the group, being sure that he included
himself at the end. ‘One, two, three…’ He arrived at ‘ten’ and, at that mo -
ment, each man realised that he had neglected himself.
     Likewise, we tend to focus on thoughts, images, memories, feelings,
activities, relationships, and so on, but we neglect our self, the silent presence
of awareness in the background that peacefully witnesses it all. That is, aware -
ness loses itself in the content of experience and, in doing so, overlooks
or loses touch with itself. We pay for that neglect with our happiness.
     T o become aware of awareness does not require effort, any more than an
effort was required for the tenth man to remember himself. All that is
required is the relaxation  of a previous effort, namely, the exclusive focus of
our attention on the content of experience at the expense of our being.
     As soon as this effort is relaxed, the presence of awareness shines by itself.
It was always shining. It is always shining! However, if we are accustomed
to losing our self in, or identifying our self with, the content of experience,
it may seem, to begin with, that an effort is required to disentangle our self
from experience, in which case we should make the effort.
     In time, what previously seemed to require an effort will be felt as our
natural condition. Thus, what may seem at first to be a practice, something
that we as a separate person do, turns out in the end to be a non-practice.
Only from the limited perspective of the separate self does what we are be-
come something that we seem to do.

The Open, Empty, Aware Space
It is precisely because there is nothing within the One

Is it enough to recognise oneself as the witnessing presence of awareness in the
background of experience?

The recognition of awareness in the background of experience is, in most
cases, a necessary first step. However, it is important to understand that
the presence of awareness is not just the ever-present and unlimited back-
ground of experience but also the medium  or the field within which all ex -
perience arises, in which it exists and into which it disappears when it
vanishes.
     It is obvious, even from a conventional point of view, that thoughts and
feelings arise and exist within awareness. It is not so obvious that our experi -
ence of the body and the world, which is known only as a flow of sensations
and perceptions, also takes place in awareness.
     If our attention travels from a thought to a sensation, for instance, the
tingling of our face, hands or feet, and from a sensation to a perception,
such as any sound that may be present in our environment, we do not find
our attention leaving one field in which thoughts appear and entering a sec -
ond in which sensations appear, and then leaving the field in which sensa -
tions appear and entering a third in which perceptions arise. Our attention
is always travelling in the  same  field, the field of awareness.
     As such, the relationship between awareness and experience is much more
intimate than that of an impartial witness to the objects of experience. At this
stage of understanding, awareness could be likened to a vast, empty, aware
space within which the objects of experience arise, in which they exist while
they are present and into which they vanish when they disappear.  you are the happiness you seek
     At no point do we encounter, or could we ever encounter, anything that
takes place outside awareness, just as a cloud never appears outside the sky.
Even time and space, which we normally consider to be the vast containers
within which all events and objects arise, are themselves experienced within
awareness, the only place where any experience can appear.
     Prior to the arising of experience, awareness is empty of all objective con -
tent, just as the space of an unfurnished room is empty of objects. In fact,
it is on account of the emptiness of awareness that the fullness of experience
is able to arise within it. If awareness were not empty, there would be no room
for experience within it, in the same way that if an unfurnished house were
not empty, there would be no room for the furniture within it, or if a screen
were not transparent, it would not be possible for a movie to appear on it.

But my awareness seems to be confined and limited to my body.

Allow your attention to range freely over the entire spectrum of your experi -
ence and see if you ever encounter anything that takes place outside aware -
ness. Would it be possible to have an experience that occurred outside
awareness? See that your attention never leaves the field of awareness. What -
ever it encounters is encountered within awareness. Indeed, attention itself
is the focusing of awareness within itself.
     Can you even imagine an experience that could take place outside aware -
ness? Consider the extremes of experience: a near-death encounter, a vision
of God, a drug-induced trip, a moment of ecstasy, intense pain. See in this

Food
! That was not fun! I recommend you
stay out
 of grocery stores while fasting; and did I mention the kitchen?
 Today my trainer went over the program and talked about
the various
forms and types of exercise...

There are basically four different types of exercise and all
four help
 the
body in different ways. All four types are needed
and each
 serves a
different function of your body:

The first thing I learned is that I don't need to be a bodybuilder to
benefit from strength training.

1.

The resistance exercises
 increased the strength
 of my bones,
muscles, ligaments and tendons.
2.

It produced muscle
definition and shape.

3.

It also
 increased my muscle mass
—I discovered that most all
adults lose about one-half pound of muscle per year after 25
years of age primari
ly due to less activity. When the body is at
rest,
 muscle tissue is still burning a number of calories (the basal
metabolic rate, or BMR). As my muscle mass increases, BMR
increases, making it easier to maintain my optimal healthy body
weight based on my height and age.
4.

The quality of my life is greatly enhanced
as my muscle strength
increases. Daily life will be less strenuous, such as walking
upstairs or long distances, hiking, biking or swimming.

The Primary Program

My trainer has developed a program that combines many exercises that
build all the major muscle groups. No single group should be neglected
since that could inevitably lead to strength imbalances and serious posture
issues. My certified fitness professional is helping me develop a safe,
effective, long term program. If you are considering an exercise program
while fasting, you may also wish to consult with a certified fitness
professional to learn safe technique before beginning a strength-training
program.

As an example: “One set of eight to 12 repetitions, working the muscles tothe point of fatigue, is usually sufficient. Breathe normally throughout the
exercise. Lower the resistance with a slow, controlled cadence throughout
the full range of motion. Lifting the weight to a count of 2 and lowering it to a
count of 3 or 4 is effective.”

“When you are able to perform 12 repetitions of an exercise correctly
(without cheating), increase the amount of resistance by 5 to 10% to
continue making safe progress.”

Flexibility Exercises
Holy cow, I never realized how out of shape I am! It was about all I could
do to bend over and touch my knees, let alone my toes. Stretching
exercises will help you become more flexible. However, doing them every
day is essential. The most important thing to do is have a regular exercise
routine every day. And if you don't know what you're doing, having some
sort of supervision is crucial. You don't want to injure yourself
unintentionally.

Keep your joints and muscles lubricated. I start all my workouts with low
impact stretches and work up to a full stretch workout. Later, I wind down
my routine with low-impact exercises.

Do stretches every day and work at it progressively. Remember, you
can't become flexible overnight. Work at a rate you're comfortable with,
and then slowly increase the difficulty (length of time, length of reach or
both).

Make sure you have supervision. If you have no idea what you're doing,
you'll injure yourself. Most martial arts schools and gym classes have
extensive programs and teachers. Check them out. Eat a healthy diet.

Eat more green leafy vegetables, and drink plenty of distilled water,
especially upon waking. Increase your protein and calcium. Reread the
section on supplements and vitamins. The most important thing is to
balance everything.

 Shoulders

Stretch each arm as far across your chest while holding it as
long as
 you
can without feeling pain for 5 or 10 minutes every day.
Lift small
 weights
daily so that your muscles can become
gradually accustomed
 to the
repetitive motion and movement.

Back (Be Extremely Careful)

I myself, have two ruptured discs and a herniated disc in my
back so
 I
have to build up slowly the muscles that support the spine.  This next
exercise was especially helpful in accomplishing this.

Lie down on the floor.

1.

Sit up straight, leaving your legs out in front of you. They don't
have to be flat.
2.

Turn your upper body slowly, and make absolutely sure that you
stop turning before it starts to hurt. If you
stretch improperly
 it is
relatively easy to damage your spinal cord, so pay attention.
3.

When you stop turning, hold that position for 5 to 10 seconds.
Turn the other direction and repeat.

Try and do a back-bend/bridge.
  Be very careful not to go too far!  Once
you are in the bridge, gently push through your shoulders
, and
 try to put
your legs together and straighten them. Don't
go onto
 your toes!
1.

You can also stand up with your arms hanging out to
the side
 and
then very slowly twist from side to side.
2.

Another
stretch is to lay flat on your tummy and then use  your
arms to put yourself in a snake or seal stretch.

Legs

1.

Sit down as you did before for the back exercises, only this time
make your legs as flat on the ground as possible, right beside
each other.
2.

Stretch down toward your knees. Do not bend your head to faceyour knees, face forward.
3.

This will also stretch your neck muscles; if it hurts your neck to do
this exercise, face your knees and stretch.
4.

You can also sit down with your legs straight out and take your
right leg and swing it over your left leg a few times. Do the same
with your left leg.
5.

Try doing the splits as well as possible, but carefully for about 4
minutes per day. If you are advanced and flat on the ground,
take a sofa pillow and put one of your legs on it to give more of a
stretch
.

Remember to be patient
. (I should talk!) The key to
being flexible is waiting calmly.

Upper Thighs (Butt)
           Squeeze both sides of your thighs together
. Hold for 5
minutes. (If this is too long, start with 2 minutes, and build up.)

Fingers
           Hold one hand out in a fist
.
1.

Slowly open up the fist.
2.

Stretch your fingers back as far as they can. Hold for a minute.
(You can also try this against a wall.)
3.

Repeat with your other hand. This can help with carpal tunnel
syndrome.

Ankles

1.

First, sit with your legs straight out in front of you (as you did in
the leg stretch) and twist your ankles in any shape or form (for
example, the ABC’s).
2.

You can also sit with one leg in front of you and take the other
ankle and rest it on your knee. Grab your foot and twist your
ankle.

Wrists

1.

Sit on your ankles, kneeling, and then put your hands out
like you are reading a book.
2.

Flip your hands onto the floor with fingers facing you, like
"save the page."3.

After you do the stretch above, flip your hands in various
ways (fingers facing outward or inward to the side).

Positive & Negative Stretching
Remember to include both the positive and negative motions when you
stretch. Keep it symmetrical. If you are stretching your left, stretch out
your right, too. If you are bending forward, bend backwards too.

Tips

1.

Remember to begin with gentle, slow stretching.  Warning:
Starting with difficult and advanced stretches is dangerous and
ill-advised for anyone.
2.

One way to warm up would to be to do a decent amount of
jumping jacks.
3.

Take a ballet class to get flexible, so a professional can train
you.:-) Come on guys, you can do it!
4.

Be patient, if you think you're not getting any more flexible, don't
quit. You'll see progress even
tually, and it will be worth it.

Cardiovascular exercise is aerobic exercise, and
sometimes referred


 but taking its own urine.

Ma. Rosalba C. of Ramirez. { Mexico }
I am 47 years of age and I had 5 children.
f thank God for the knowledge of the Urine-therapy.
I want to give my testimony by this means to aU people
of how 1 am and how 1 cured myself. 1n the year of 1980,
I had a very hard automobile accident.
They needed to remove one organ from my body.
From that day on I was very sick.
In the year of 1993, near the month of July, after passing by a very sad situation
of two brothers who died I also had other medical problems.
I began to suffer depression, headaches and neck, cramps in the hands and feet.
J also felt strong palpitations in my heart. My eyes were becoming deformed.
They were swollen and bulging. There were nights that I could not sleep and was
suffered from the insomnia. I began to lose weight. I felt that I was drowning.
I could not go to the bathroom alone. I was always very thirsty.
1 have a brother who is a doctor and began to give me medicine.
He gave me liquid prescription but it did not help me.
He had to commit me to the hospital where he works until midnight.
There they gave me several medicines and they did several exams.
The Doctors of the hospital told me my Thyroid gland was not working properly.
Tablets were prescribed for me and I was taking them over a year.
I improved a little, but when taking the tablets, I was nervous and I trembled.
They sent me to a second hospital with a specialist to see if she could cure this
disease. The pressure started when a ball in the neck started growing.
I no longer could take the medical drugs.
From this hospital they sent me to a third hospital.
There they gave me nuclear medicine.
It was iodine-radioactive for which I felt much fatigue and several different
symptoms. I was isolated. I was without strength.
I felt only that I wanted to lay down. I went again to the Doctor, after 15 days,
because the symptoms had no improvement.
The doctor said that I was to continue taking the medicine.
I felt that the iodine had not served me well and became very sick followed by
throat problems and bronchitis. I took 6 to 8 daiJy medicines.
My kidneys began to hurt and I no longer knew if I should continue to take the
medicine. One day my husband took me to the hospital for a checkup and now,
they detected a tumor in the bust.
1 worried more because my body was filling with diseases.
67 One day, in the month of May of 95, they invited me to witness with a notary, for
writings. I was accompanied by my neighbors and friends.
That day a neighbor said that urine was good for all diseases and that it was in
the Bible. In PROVERBS 5 to see 15-18. On the following day I began to take only
a Uttle with water, because I did not know how to take it.
When I began to take urine I had bronchitis.
I was taking medicine for the thyroids and also antibiotic for my other problems.,
I followed with the urine.
Soon the moment arrived that the drugs made me sick.
Little by little I was leaving the medicine, I did not have further indications of
problems, nor did I have need to go to the Doctors conference.
After 3 months in 1997, arrived in my hands a report that I was cured from my
problems. It was when I began with my urine fasts.
Later I had the opportunity to go to a conference. I am cured of the thyroids and I
no longer have the ball in the neck, or feel very depressed.
No longer volumes of medicines and the cyst in the bust disappeared.
The varicose veins in the legs are gone. Already I can see without glasses.
I want aff the people to know of this wise knowledge so that all people will be
healed and without spending money.
1t is on1y needed prayers of thanks to God and his water the 1ife.
