UROPATHY, but she had tried all other options. Though she was single at the time, she wanted to healthy just in case things worked out with her boyfriend. She started drinking a spoonful of urine with orange juice and three days later was taking urine straight and chasing it the juice. She started hemorrhaging two weeks after she started the UROPATHY procedures, but she knew this was part of the healing crisis she would have to go through before regaining her health. Her conditions became gradually worst until she started delivering fibroid tumors with labor pain and other discomforts associated with having babies, though not as intense. She 197 had read the book and was familiar with the healing process and since her periods usually lasted two weeks she did not get too scared when going through the healing crisis which lasted about 10 days. Now she promotes UROPATHY to all her friends and sends me people to the lectures.”  Uropathy by Martin J. Lara  TUMOR OF UTERUS  “Maria, a lady living in my building, developed labor pain and minutes later spontaneously discharged a complete fibroid tumor from the uterus. She had been using the universal remedy (urine therapy) prophylactically (as a preventative medicine) for two weeks when she had this experience. Maria did not know that this tumor was developing in her body.”  Uropathy by Martin J. Lara  TYPHOID   Ms. W.M., The Netherlands "I discovered urine therapy in India, where I lived for quite some time. I regularly came across a man at the bank where I did my banking. One day he did not show up, and I heard from others that he had typhoid, a serious, debilitating and often fatal illness. I regularly inquired after his health, and heard that with each attack it was expected that he would die. Some time later, however, I saw him at the bank again, and he was in the pink of health! Only later did I hear from him how he had regained his health. I had told him that my own children were seriously ill, and he told me that he had cured himself of typhoid with urine therapy. My four children all had a blood disease known as mononucleosis. They were weak, fatigued and listless, and constantly ran a fever. I had my two youngest children urinate into a brown bottle, and later gave this to them as medicine, without letting them know that they were drinking their own urine. My nanny was a great help - she even encouraged me to try this method. She came from Kerala, a state in the south of India where, as she told me, many fishermen also used urine. They often cut themselves on the fish, causing rather nasty infections, in which case urine can be used as an effective remedy. For a few days, I had my children fast and massaged them every day for a few hours with urine. At first it was difficult, as my husband was completely against this method. Some time later, I had my children repeat the fast for a period of ten days, and they responded positively. Their health greatly improved: they regained their healthy 198 appetites, performed much better at school and were more creative. Apparently, they were cleansed on many inner levels. Of course, I also decided to try urine therapy. Ever since I was eighteen, I had suffered from bronchitis, sinusitis, and chronic anaemia. After trying urine therapy, I felt much better. Furthermore, the laboratory technicians were astonished at the sudden rise in my haemoglobin percentage, which had increased to the accepted standard! I later stopped using urine therapy, until I discovered that I had a tumour in my breast which was likely to become malignant. Initially, nobody wanted to help and support me in treating the tumour with urine therapy. The alternatives were chemical medication and probably a breast amputation. I wanted to prevent this at all costs. At that time, I met Elly, a Dutch woman living in an ashram in India. She supported me, and I went with my family to the ashram where I regularly drank my own urine. I decided not to constantly check and see if the tumour was still there, and at one point I discovered that it was gone. At that time, I had only drunk my urine, without massaging myself with it. I also used urine to heal wounds. I treated somebody with third-degree burns with urine therapy, and practically no scars remained. I also successfully applied urine compresses when my children had scrapes or were bitten by jellyfish or insects. I used to be a nurse, and know quite a bit about medicine. I worked in the operation room, in district nursing and in private nursing, and have seen allopathic medicine fail many times, which makes it easier for me to work with urine therapy. In India, I worked quite a lot with natural medicine. Whenever I heard about a therapy that helped improve health, I researched it and tried it out. In this way, I have become acquainted with a number of different therapies. But urine therapy beats them all! Nothing is better than urine therapy."

During this time it had been treated with Eastoplast and various other substances. At the time the urea treatment was begun the ulcer was of oval irregular outline with everted swollen edges and a floor covered with a whitish, foul smelling slough. The ulcer received the urea dressings daily for 14 days. After 2 days the foul odor had disappeared and after 4 days the base of the ulcer was covered by a mass of bright red granulations (new tissue). By the 14th day the skin edges had 199 grown in and the size of the ulcer was 3/4 by 1/2 in. The floor was dry. The patient had a dry dressing and was discharged. The ulcer was again examined 10 days after the patient's discharge and was found to be completely healed.”  “Treatment of Infected Wounds with Urea”, 1938, by Leon Muldavis (Senior Casualty Officer at the Royal Free Hospital, London) and Jean M Holtzman (Demonstrator in Physiology, London School of Medicine for Women).

In 1964 there erupted an ulcer on his buttock. He was to be operated after a week. But Shri K. G. Pandit applied fomentation with urine on the affected part twice a day. The boy felt some relief and went to sleep. Shri Pandit came at 8 in the morning and woke him up. He found that the bed sheet was soaked in blood and pus, as most of the congestion in the ulcer had been discharged. He washed the ulcer with hot urine, and for half an hour fomented the 200 wound and put a urine pack. In the evening when Shri Pandit came, he was surprised to find the boy playing. His pain had vanished. Only once more the wound was fomented and urine pack applied. Next day there was no sign of any wound and he went to school.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M.

In a corner of the mouth, there was a small tumour, which was diagnosed as cancer. Cobalt-ray treatment was given. This was followed by a terrible feeling of burning and soreness inside. The patient thought of resorting to Water of Life treatment and came to me. I examined all reports and the details of the treatment given. I then prescribed this treatment To take self-urine into the mouth, rinse the mouth with it and then to spit it out; this, five times a day, every time for 5 to 7 minutes; and then to drink the remaining urine every time. The patient had a little inflammation around the throat and under the ear. Urine was to be rubbed very lightly on these parts every morning and evening. One month's treatment showed a noteworthy improvement, with less inflammation. The pain and soreness in the mouth had lessened, and in that month the patient maintained status quo in weight, without losing it as he had been doing. The experiment was continued."

 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

 Douglas is a retired contractor, author, freelance writer, inventor, designer,
architect and lives in San Diego, CA with his wife Alice.

He is the founder and developer of
the “
Distillation Station,” the
very “first bottled water vending machines in the United States.”

The original station was placed in Bill's IGA Store, Brooklyn, Michigan, in
1976. Douglas Hoover has been studying water and its relationship to
health for over 40 years.

He rarely debates with the distilled water naysayers, because, “A man with
an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.”
Douglas is a living example of the miraculous health benefits of a “
fasting
lifestyle
” and drinking plenty of distilled water.

In the year 1976, just a
stone's throw from the
Michigan International
 Speedway, in Bill's IGA
(Independent Grocers Association
) distilled
 water was being installed by
Doug Hoover of the Aquamedia Corporation. Nine years later, in June of
1985, the owner of Bill's IGA store reported sales
of Crystal
 Distilled
drinking water was in excess of 2500 gallons per week in addition to over
1,500 pounds
of Crystal

Distilled ice
 cubes. Brooklyn has a population of
1,300! He was excited to add
that the Crystal

Distilled drinking
 water from
the Distillation
 Station produced the highest profit margin of any item in his
store." Crystal Distilled water and ice is produced by steam vapor
compression distillation which kills all bacteria and cysts, removing
everything from the water, resulting in the purest, healthiest water
available, distilled!

 even if one has not drunk extra water.
The re-use of urine, without ingesting extra liquid, yields a large amount of
clear and not unpleasant tasting urine in a short period of time.
According to this hypothesis, this ultimately results in stimulated
and cleansed kidneys, and a purified bloodstream.
At the same time, the intestines, skin and exhalation process probably
entirely take over the role of secreting the unusable metabolic products.
9. Transmutation theory.
Most of the former hypotheses will also be valid from a strictly mechanistic
point of view. The transmutation theory, though, needs a new,
wholistic paradigm which is based more on the dynamics of energies.
The medical doctor and urine therapist Abele cautiously discusses the
possible effect of urine as holographic feedback.
The theory of transmutation implies that the body is capable,
through energetic exchange within the body itself, to transmute certain
substances or molecules into other ones.
'Short-circuiting' the system by ingesting one's own secreted body fluids
might stimulate the transmutational forces within and challenge the body
to transform unusable substances into usable ones
without being constantly disturbed by new external input.
This would specifically apply to fasting on urine.
Another important aspect is the theory of structured water.
It is scientifically proven how water in biological systems becomes more
organized.
Water also becomes more organized through exposure to sunlight
and through close contact with crystals.
The body is both a receptor of sunlight and it contains a high amount of
solid and liquid cristallinelike substances.
Also body fluids themselves form fluid crystals.
Urine is thus a cristalline-like substance containing a high amount of
structured water. This structured water, when taken in again,
39 promotes better enzymatic functioning and it has a higher solubility for
minerals. The vibratory patterns of the body, both in the bones
(solid crystals) and in the tissues and fluids (liquid crystals),
play an important role in the process of transmutation
10. Psychological effect.
Scientists claim that the highest acceptable placebo effect is 30%.
However, a much higher percentage of people actually achieves positive
results with urine therapy, which is remarkable since many people are
often initially skeptical because of their aversion to urine,
and apply urine therapy as a last resort.
The shock initially brought on by drinking urine might fundamentally
challenge previously accepted ideas, as a result of which repressed energy
is released that can be applied to strengthen the body and fight an illness.
Confronting and conquering reluctance play an important role in this
theory. Applying your own bodily substances in an attempt to heal can lead
to a considerably broadened outlook on the intelligence and power of the
body, and can increase your appreciation and love for yourself as a
physical and spiritual being. Instead of regarding excretions (really just a
part of yourself) as enemies, you regard them as your helpers.
This healthier way of seeing yourself might well have a powerful healing
effect on your body. If the results are experienced as positive,
Applying your own urine as medication means that you have more physical
and mental freedom than previously believed,
which can also have a healing effect on a deep level.
Urine therapy confronts us with a very concrete 'healer within'
which works both on a mechanistic and on an energetic level.
The latter implies that urine, as a holographic substance,
can affect all levels of being, from the physical,
through the electromagnetical fields of the emotions and the mind,
up to the subtler genetic vibrational information of the soul.
40.r____..._ Your Own Perfect Medicine
by Martha Christy
You may think that when it comes to alternative health therapies -
you've heard it all.
But there is one natural therapy you've probably never heard of-even
though it's one of the most powerful, most researched and most medically
proven natural cures ever discovered.
No matter how hard it may be for you to stomach, the fact is that knowing
the truth about this incredible natural substance will be one of the most
crucial health facts you'll ever learn. And one of the most remarkable things
about this incomparable natural therapy is that the medical community has
already been aware of its astounding efficacy for decades, and yet none of us
has ever been told about it. Why? Maybe they think it's too controversial. Or
maybe, more accurately, there wasn't any monetary reward for telling people
what scientists know about one of the most extraordinary natural healing
elements in the world.
But no matter why the medical establishment has chosen to keep his
invaluable information a secret, it's time that every man, woman and child be
told about the only health tool in the world that is always available to
everyone and never out of reach -physically or financially. So I want you to
sit back, open your mind and get ready to hear the incredible medical facts
about human urine -the facts that will change your life.
What You Don't Know Can Hurt You
Every one of us has a right to know that our bodies produce an invaluable
source of nourishment and healing that we can utilize to heal ourselves and
to maintain our lives and our health in both everyday circumstances and in
emergencies and life-threatening situations.
Two news articles from the past that recently came across my desk vividly
illustrate the absolutely tragic consequences of the public's lack of
information and our completely unfounded misconceptions regarding our
bodies' own perfect medicine:
Tom Brokaw, NBC Nightly News, October 16, 1992
41 "In Egypt, rescue workers found a 37-year-old man alive in earthquake
rubble. He survived almost 82 hours by drinking his own urine. His
wife, daughter and mother would not and they died. "
Associated Press, July, 1985:
I don't think there's any question that these women and the cllild would
not have died had they simply been aware of the truth that not only
would their own urine not harm them, but would, in fact, have provided
a power-packed combination of liquid nutrients and critical immune
factors that would have sustained them in good health until help arrived.
The Medical Proof
For almost the entire course of the 20th century, unknown to the public,
doctors and medical researchers have been proving in both laboratory and
clinical testing that our own urine is an enormous source of vital nutrients,
vitamins, hormones, enzymes and critical antibodies that cannot be
duplicated or derived from any other source. They use urine for healing
cancer, heart disease, allergies, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, asthma,
infertility, infections, wounds and on and on--yet we're taught that urine is a
toxic waste product. This discrepancy between the medical truth and the
public information regarding urine is ludicrous and, as the news releases
you've just read demonstrate, can mean the difference between life and death
to you and to your loved ones.
When I contracted a crippling, incurable disease early in life, I used every
available conventional medical and alternative healing method over the
course of many years without success. When an acquaintance suggested I try
"urine therapy" I though she'd lost her mind, but with no options left, I
swallowed my prejudice and decided to give it a go. To my own (and
everyone else's) amazement, my healing was so rapid and so profound with
urine therapy that no question remained in my mind that someone in the
medical community had to know more than they were telling about this
incredible body substance. And as a matter of fact, they did know more - a
lot more.
After many months of haunting university libraries, scanning countless
microfiche files and poring over piles of medical journals, I had amassed a
small mountain of astounding research studies, findings and files on the use
of urine in medicine and healing, I discovered, among numerous other
things, that urine, far from being a toxic body waste, was actually a purified
derivative of the blood made by the kidneys which contains, not body wastes,
but rather an incredible array of critically important nutrients, enzymes,
hormones, natural antibodies and immune defense agents.
42 At the end of it all, as I sat tiredly in my chair eyeing the stacks of research
papers covering my desk, I realized that the medical community had pulled
off one of the biggest hoodwinks in history. Take for instance the doctor who
reported that "urine acts as an excellent and safe natural vaccine and has
been shown to cure a wide variety of disorders including hepatitis, whooping
cough, asthma, hay fever, hives, migraines, intestinal dysfunctions, etc.
It is completely safe and causes no side effects." (J. Plesch, M.D., The
Medical Press, 1947); or the oncologist who reported that "a patient with
intractable ovarian cancer was treated with Human Urine Derivative and is
now completely well and enjoying the rest of her life." (Dr. M. Soeda,
University of Tokyo, 1968). These remarkable findings were published in
medical journals -but did you ever hear about them?
And what about the immunologist who, after extensive clinical and
laboratory research stated: "It was rapidly appreciated that undiluted urine
administered orally was therapeutically effective for Immune Therapy and
was initiated when it became obvious that an allergic condition had become
uncontrollable." (Dr. C.W.


 It’ s A wareness that’ s aware of
your breathing. It’ s that simple.
“Whenever you think of it, bring yourself back to the awareness of now. Do it
hundreds of times each day, because, remember, all of your power is in your
awareness of your power.”
Fr om  The SecretStep 3. Stay as A war eness
“In the beginning you feel like a visitor to awareness, but as you keep
discovering the realness of it, any sense of fear or separation melts away.”
Mooji
Staying as A wareness is all about where you put your attention. My teacher
suggests a simple way to think about this. Our mind operates in a similar way to
the lens on a cam era. The mind has an automatic zoom function, and it focuses
our attention on things in detail, just as you would zoom in with a camera lens
for a  close-up. The majority of  the time the mind is zoomed in and we are
seeing the world through focused attention, which results in a very narrow and
distorted perspective of the world. But when you want to take a photograph of a
wide-open space, you zoom out and open the lens as wide as you can for a
wide-angle shot.  In the same way, if you open your attention wid e so you’re not
focused on any detail anymore, A wareness is revealed. It’ s a simple way to stay
as A wareness and let everything be just as it is.
T o put this into practice, take a look around you right now, find something close
up to focus on, and focus your attention on only that. Y ou can use your hand if
you wan t. Now open your attention so it’ s very wide, taking in as much as
possible of your surroundings  without focusing on anything in particular.
Notice a n imme diate sense of r elief and relaxation in the body. This happens
because our mind is constantly focused, and it takes a lot of ef fort to maintain
that focus. So, when you open your attention to be as wide and open as
possible, our mind dissolves into  the background and A wareness comes into the
foreground. Y ou feel a sense of  relief because A wareness is effortless ; it sees
and knows everything without any need to focus.
“The on e that you’ve mistaken yourself for that wants to make things happen
has zero power. Y et it’ s sayin g, ‘I need to take care of som e things.’ It’ s
A wareness that takes care of everything.”
My teacher
“The less you believe you are the doer the more you are an unstoppable force
for good in the world.”
Hale Dwoskin
I u sed to be a big doer. I prided myself on my doing capab ilities, juggling
multiple things at one time. It became my identity. I was the Q ueen of Doing!
And so of course the Universe flowed an unending number of things for me to
do, because of what I believed about myself.
But that has all changed becau se of continually letting go of what I believed
myself to be, an d staying as the A wareness that I am. I’m not on ly happier than
I’ve eve r been, but instead of do ing, doing, doing all the time, things just seem
to g et taken care of naturally, without me doing them. If I do end up doing
something, it’ s like I’m not even doing it it’ s so ef fortless. Life becomes
miraculous!
Give five minutes a day, at the very least, to putting you r attention on
A wareness. Y ou can do it when you first wake up, when you get into bed, or atany other time that suits you. If you are as dedicated as I am to having a
miraculous life, you will give your attention to A wareness more often, but even
five minutes a day will make an enormous dif ference to your life. It’ s that easy.
Remember, this is not a practice to become A wareness, because you are Infinite
A wareness alrea dy. Rather it’ s a practice that stops you fr om identifying
yourself with the mind and body, which is not who you are.
“T o begin with it seems like an ef fort to keep returning to the welcoming
presence, but at some point, it is so natural that it seems to require an ef fort to
leave it. It feels like home.”
Francis Lucille, fr om  The Perfume of Silence
Y ou will  reach a point where yo u know with certainty that you are in the realm
of d ivinity, or fo r those who pr efer to use the word “God,” in th e pr esence of
God. T o be in the presence of God or the realm of divinity is to be beyond the
mind.
“When you lose the eyes of ego you see with the eyes of God.”
Mooji
After doing these steps for a while, you’ll discover that A wareness
automatically be comes more dominant and present within you,  and your mind
becomes much quieter. Other in dications of how you are doin g are: your life
will bec ome easier and more ef fortless, you’ll feel more peaceful, things that
used to bother you won’ t bother you anymore, you’ll feel calmer, your
emotions will be more stable, an d you’ll find you’re not easily swept away with
negative emotio ns. In fact, you will begin to feel a sense of happiness that
you’ve not felt before. Y ou’ll become more acutely aware of your mind’ s
propensity to complain, critici ze, and focus on negativity. A nd you’ll find
you’re not giving your mind po wer over you like you used to, because you’ve
taken your attention away from your thoughts.
“Knowing that we are the perfect Self, that we are not this limited body and
mind, all problems immediately resolve.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
A wareness is greater than every single thing it’ s aware of. The person is limited,
but A wa reness i s unlimited, which means everything  is possible. Nothing can
ever restrict you; nothing whatsoever has power over you!
“W e seem to h ave the experience of a limited consciousnes s but when we
investigate more closely, we see that it is impossible. That which is  aware of
limitations transcends limitations and is therefore beyond them.”
Francis Lucille, fr om  The Perfume of Silence
Nothing can disturb A warenes s! No number of problems ca n disrupt you.
Negativity can’ t  touch you. W ar s can’ t af fect you. Y ou as A wareness are always
safe and well. Y ou are untouchable, unharmable, imperishabl e. What would
there be  to threaten you? Y ou c ontain everything. Y ou are everything. T o the
best of your abil ity, begin to stay  as the A wareness that you are by putting your
attention on A wareness often, so you can live a wondrous life.“Then y ou can no more be fooled by the apparent limitations of the world. Y ou
see t hem as a dream, as an appe arance, because you know that your very own
Beingness has no limits.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5C H A P T E R  3  S u m m a r y
Y ou  are A war eness; you’r e not a person  being aware of
something.
A telescope is just an instrument without the astr onomer
looking thr ough  it, and your body and mind ar e instruments
of A war eness.
Ther e is  only one awar eness, and it’ s the same awar eness
that is operating thr ough everybody.
Y ou ar en’ t awar e of thoughts or sensations in another
person’ s body because A war eness has been funneled
thr ough your mind, making it localized to your body.
A war eness or consciousness is all thr ough your body and
everywher e outside your body.
W e can put our attention either on the thoughts in our head
or on the A war eness that we ar e. Put your attention on
A war eness as often as you can.
The A war eness Practice
Step 1. Ask yourself, “Am I awar e?”
Step 2. Notice A war eness.
Step 3. Stay as A war eness.
The way  to br eak the mind’ s habit of nonstop thinking once
and for all is to stay as the A war eness that you ar e.
Shift your attention to A war eness by noticing A war eness
multiple times thr oughout the day.
A simpl e way to stay as A war eness: Open your attention
wide like the lens on a camera so you’r e not focused on any
detail anymor e, and A war eness is r evealed.T o practice, find something close up to focus on, and focus
your atte ntion on only that. Now  open your attention so it’ s

surr oundings without focusing on anything in particular.


ati onships and your communications. This is why you need
to take great care of what you think and be aware of what  kind of
relationship you have with your thoughts. The way to an increasing awareness of your thoughts is to pay
attention to the way you feel. Not only will your feelings be the
indicators of where you have let your thoughts go, but your external
relationships will also always reflect what is going on in your thinking. This is because your powerful mind communicates all the time. The mind is very powerful, and never loses its creative force. It
never sleeps. Every instant it is creating. It is hard to recogni ze
that thought and belief combine into a power surge that can
literally move mountains. We need to have experiences that show us that we are more than a
body and that we can communicate beyond the body. Sometimes people
will tell me they have a dream where they can fly and experience
freedom. In whatever way is given to us, in whatever way we attract, we
need to have an experience that we are more than a body. There is a lot
of resea rch around near-death experiences and out-of-body experiences
and lots and lots of reports around people who are in comas and
unconscious. If communication were based on the body and certain brain
activity, a coma would seem like a definite break in communication. Yet
over and over, we hear stories of patients who come out of comas and
say things like, “Why did you tell that story about me. ” This shows
clearly that communication is not limited to the body. This shows that
we can begin to loosen up from  the idea that we are powerless and go
beyond preconceived limits with our communication. Sometimes we can
even have telepathic experiences. It works more like prayers: you send
out a vibe with your thoughts, then the universe responds to that vibe,
and that is reflected directly in the world around you. This is what I
mean when I say that you communicate all the time. The more we allow for open and transparent communication, the
more we feel our expansiveness. Therefore, this is a very helpf ul prayer
to the Holy Spirit: “Please show me how to use the body and
communication best to expa nd my perception. ” This expanded
perception gives us a feeling of a much stronger connection to everyone
and everything. Communing with Spirit in Communication
The Holy Spirit uses the body  for only one purpose, and that is as a
communication device to help the mind regain the awareness that true
communication is through Spirit and that true communication is with the
Creator. Becaus e the mind has fallen asleep and believes in separationand bodies, the Spirit has to use what the separated mind believe s in. For
example, you go about your day using words as you speak and maybe as
you write, so the Holy Spirit will guide you through words to train the
mind to come back into true communion. The purpose of Spirit -inspired
communication is to go beyond the interpersonal communication to
communion with the One. The more you practice this, the more you let Spirit pour through
you and express  through you. You don’t hold back anymore. You start to
have an experien ce of an inner dialogue, as if you are teaching yourself,
as if there is nobody else in the universe but you. There is just one mind,
but that one mind has been forgotten and seems to have fragmented off
into billions of pieces that only know of the little personality self. In everything you do, let your practice become to see the body and
personality self as your means but never the “end goal. ” When the body
and the person are the focus and are given too much attenti on, they
become the end rather than means. Let your mind be the end, your divine
mind, the mind that you truly are, the mind that thinks with God. The
whole purpose of life is to have a connected experience. Let your
intuition take charge. Your ego has been running the show for quite a
while without getting to what you really, truly want. It has been striving
—another goal, improving the body, another relationship—see king and
not finding. Now you can start allowing your mind to be the end and the
body the means  for this end in all your relationships and situations in
life. You can start to see that your body has only one purpose: to be a
communication device that the Spirit can use to expand your perception. Healing your mind deserves your full attention. If you let the body be
your communication device and if you don’t withhold any
communication, everything channels into one experience. In trusting and following the Holy Spirit, you are shown a sense of
intimacy and connection that is not dependent on bodies being together. Why does it sometimes feel so terrible when the bodies go apart. Separation anxiety happens when you believe that there can be a break in
communication. When you feel located in a body in a particular place in
space, you can feel very, very alone. Exercise: Feel Connected in Y our Communication
When you are ready to begin your next assignment, take your
usual few minutes to calm and quiet your mind. Take several deep
breaths, remembering your healing purpose, and invite the Holy
Spirit to be with you during this process. In this exercise, you are
going to look at fear of communication. When you feel ready to
look within, open your mind to the following steps:
1. Choose a current relationship where you are holding back
from communicating. Write down all the ways you hold
back. 2. Identify situations where you have opportunities to speak
up, share, or connect and still feel you hold back. Write
them down. 3. Are you willing to communicate how you really feel in order
to experience true connection. Write down your immedia te
response. If you notice any resistance or hesitation, be
honest about it and make notes. 4. Journal about the relationship : your thoughts, feelings, and
beliefs about yourself and the other. Don’t leave anything
out of your exploration. Include thoughts about a specific
situation if this comes to mind. 5. Write a list of all the things you would say to the perso n
involved. For the purpose of the exercise, don’t exclude
anything out of a belief that you need to be nice or hold up
a certain mask, for example. 6. Do you have any expectations about the other person’ s
response. Write them down. What responses do you fear. What responses do you hope for. 7. Are you willing to let go of your expectations and open to a
new perspective. Know that releasing your expectations isthe means to peace. Take time to go into this inquiry and
journal about your observations. 8. Open your mind to the light behind your perception of the
other person and remember your healing purpose. Take a
deep breath, welcome a prayerful state of mind, and relax. Ask the Spirit for guidance about what it is you are to do or
say to them and finally, give this relationship over to Him. Sharing Freely Is Loving
When you make  it a priority to follow the Holy Spirit’ s inspiration in
your heart and stay in full open communication with others and with
God, doubt and fear will start to disappear and not be reflected by other
people anymore. When you have integrity—when what you think, say,
and do, are in alignment—you are at peace. God created us in truth as love; therefore, this is the only thing that
we can truly share. Words of wisdom pour through you when you are in
communion with your Creator, whether that be with other people,
through the Internet, or anything that blesses. Chapter 13
Collaboration
Divine collaboration differs from  special relationships in every way, as it
holds the promise of a lived experience of relationship without
expectations at its core. It has a deep respect and an understan ding that
transcends the usual roles we play. It wants nothing from another, but
each person within a holy collaborative relationship is sharing something
that is deeply nurturing, leaving  each feeling full and grateful. These are
the relationship s that offer an experience of joining with something
much greater. Collaborative Assignments for Deeper Alignment
with Spirit
Once you have made the decision to make healing the goal for your
relationships, the Holy Spirit provides the means for it to happen. There
is a divine plan available for our worldly interpersonal relationships,
though this plan is generally hidden until our minds have reached a
certain maturity. The purpose of a collaborative relationship, as well as
of every assignment, is to learn as deeply as you can about who you truly
are. Healing through relationships comes in many forms. Some people
don’t feel intuitively guided or drawn in to an intimate or romantic
relationship since they have plenty of relationships in their daily life, at
work, and with friends and relatives. There are many different
assignments that we can use to align with the Holy Spirit, and couple
relationships can be major assignments. They are among the most potent
training grounds in this world. You need a sense of a shared purpose in relationship assignmen ts, a
commitment, that is always directed to the light and the healing. The
unconscious mind is filled with much darkness that has to be exposed. You need to go through the darkness to arrive at the light. It can seem
like a long, dark tunnel; sometimes you may wonder if there is light at
the end. The shared purpose is what sustains you as you move  through
the darkness to reach the light. It is not

 a suprapersonal quality or
capacity that is autonomous and spontaneous. Intention catalyzes
potentiality’s becoming actuality. The Reality/Source is the Teacher
within, which is the Presence of the Self. Verbalization is the
consequence of the utilization of the intellectual capacity of mind to
subserve Mind. The dominion is that of Mind to which verbalized mind
is merely a pragmatic tool. The Knowingness is nonlinear but its
elucidation is linear for purposes of human communication. However, a
simultaneous nonverbal level of communication occurs that facilitates
comprehension by the listener. This is so via written works and even
more so in the teacher’s actual presence. In the Teacher, the Knower is the Known. In ordinary mentation, the
known and the knower are separate. In a Teacher, the duality of the
Knower does not exist because they are the same by virtue of identity. The Self gives the answer to questions. It does not hear from an ‘other’. The Knower/Self is the initiator/source of the speaker. For example, by analogy, if we ask the cat, “What is it like to be a
cat. ” it would be puzzled. It just is what it is and has no need to
objectify itself as a discernible object, so the cat replies saying, “What
does ‘cat’ mean. ”
   We answer, “You. ”
   The cat responds, “Oh, so that is what I am, or is that what I am
called. ”
   We answer, “A cat is what you are called because that is what you
are. ”
   “Oh,” says the cat,“but what does that mean. ”
   So we read to the cat what is written about cats in the encyclopedia. The cat replies,“That is all very interesting, but it hasn’t anything to
do with who I am. I don’t experience myself as a cat. I experience
myself as ‘me’. ” The cat continues, “Please explain what it is to be a
‘me. ’ What is it like to be a human. ”
   We could only reply, “To be a ‘me’. ”
   “Thank you,” says the cat, “now I understand what it is to be a cat. All
I have to do is just be ‘me’. ”
   Thus we can see that the cat is both enlightened and of Divine origin,
for ‘to know that you a r e’ is the crux of sentient life. That cat is happyand content just because it i s. It has awareness/consciousness and is
therefore perfect. Q: Are ‘experiencing’ and ‘awareness’ different qualities. A: The question leads to the interesting discovery that below consciousness
level 200, there is the experiencing of life processes, but there is not yet
the conscious awareness of existence. Thus, a frog experiences frog life
but it is not aware yet that it is or has existence or beingness. Both animal and human life change quality at consciousness level
200, where life becomes aware of its existence in the manner that it is. This is a remarkable difference that is demonstrated in the distribution
of the levels of consciousness in the animal kingdom as well as in
human life. It could be said that life is not valued for its own sake below
consciousness level 200, and therefore, the worth of the lives of others
is not valued for its own sake either. It is only beyond consciousness
level 200 that concern for the well-being and value of the lives of
‘others’ really arises. Thus, below 200, the lifestyle is self-centered in
both humans and animals. Q: In the spiritual literature, ‘one-pointedness of mind’ is considered
not only important but also a prerequisite for meditation or other
spiritual practices. A: That is simply the skill of concentration and unswerving volitional
focus. It is like keeping one’s eye of awareness focused on the road
while driving. It means to refuse distractions. The unskilled, unsafe
driver multifunctions by playing the radio, petting the dog, and eating a
sandwich as he or she talks on the cell phone and reads billboards while
driving. One-pointedness is like a skilled professional driver who knows
he will get fired from the job for having even one accident, no matter
how seemingly trivial. The willingness to establish the capacity for
focused attention arises out of spiritual intention, which results in
identification with the nonlinear field rather than linear content. In much of spiritual work, the question is not whether one is able but
whether one is willing. For example, one is faced with the temptation of
desire. Q: Could it be surrendered. A: Yes, but will it be. Yes/no. The excuse given is, “I can’t. ” Then we ask,
“If a loaded gun were pointed at your head to comply or else die, could
you. ” The answer, of course, is “yes,” because now one w i l l do it. Thus,
one really could have done it all along. Devotion means undistracted
focus and alignment without equivocation. It represents determination
and fixity of purpose and is merely inner discipline reinforced by
decision and inspiration. Q: The ego/mind and its emotions and feelings seem so strong and
habitual. A: True. Thus, it takes more than just a good idea to ‘get spiritual’ in order
to transcend them. The force of instincts and negative emotions
calibrates below 200. Above 200, one has the power of courage, the
nonresistance of neutrality, and by the 300s, there are faith, enthusiasm,
and willingness to which, in the 400s, are added intelligence, education,
and the guidance of the intellect. At level 500, there is an important shift
of paradigm, and values move from the tangible to the intangible, aided
by the transformative quality of Love. Devotion is a commitment to
Love as a guiding principle, reinforced by choice and the will. By
surrender of the personal will and invocation, there is the intervention of
Divine Will (the Self) invoked by alignment with spiritual purpose. With Divine assistance, the impossible becomes possible. Even that
which is most prized by the ego/mind can actually be surrendered. One-pointedness of mind means to focus on the crest of the wave of
witnessing/experiencing plus being willing to surrender perceived loss
or gain. That is the primary skill that is needed. Q: How should one envision spiritual work. A: The process is one of discovery and is thus directed within. It is by
influence of the Self that spiritual endeavor becomes chosen as a life
goal. It is primarily a decision. Q: But cannot spiritual commitment and endeavor be disruptive to
one’s customary lifestyle. A: Modification is ordinarily sufficient, at least in the beginning. Intensity
of focus may bring about changes that are seen as disruptive; however,
major life changes also occur as a result of lesser ambitions, such aschanges in relationships, occupation, locality, illness, or other life
circumstances. Q: People often have a stereotyped image and expectation of what a
spiritual teacher should look and sound like—usually with robes, a
pious manner, and so forth. A: The teaching style occurs spontaneously of its own. It is sometimes
confrontive to the ego, which likes to go on and on circuitously. The
information that has been provided beforehand is lengthy and detailed. To institute it, however, is a different matter. When resistance is
confronted and made conscious by challenge, it frequently loses its
attraction. A shift in the balance of energy is sometimes all that is
required. Occasionally, without prodding, the ego tends to drag its feet
or waste time chasing its tail by asking rhetorical questions. To hear
‘enough is enough’ can assist the letting go of such programs. Humor results from shifting context by which absurdity reveals itself. Humor is also confrontive to positionality—to laugh at oneself or help
others to do so relieves conflict and stress. Humor is therapeutic and
cathartic. It also minimalizes fear, anger, or resentment. Mistakes keep
us humble and therefore teachable. Abruptness is sometimes necessary
to spiritual economy to save time and energy. Q: Spiritual economy. A: Yes. It is necessary to develop respect for spiritual endeavor. “Straight
and narrow is the path, waste no time or effort. ” Precision is discipline
that is innate to serious commitment. Some students may yet be in a
period of exploration, but once one gets the ‘fire in the belly,’ the urge
to reach God becomes like a drivenness or relentless drive, or even, in
the eyes of the world, a ‘madness. ’ From that point on, there is no
patience for amusement or diversion. It depends on decision, will, the
level of consciousness, and karmic propensities. As it gets more intense,
the love for God and of God allows no delay. O c e a n o f P D F. c o mCHAPTER 10
Spirituality and the World
Serious inner spiritual work may sound tedious and demanding (to the ego),
but is exciting to the spirit, which is eager to return home. Consciousness
innately seeks its source. In so doing, it encounters obstacles from which it
may periodically retreat, and this may result in periods of reflection and
reorientation. Periods of resistance or even dismay are normal and to be

FOREWORD
v. — sf  he  concept  of  holistic  health  acknowledges  that  a  human  being  is — and  must  be  related  to
t^^S  as — body,  mind,  and  spirit. This  concept  has  become  an  increasingly  popular  topic  of
conversation  in  Western  culture  over  the  last  two  decades. I  began  my  personal  journey  to  understand
and  embody  it  in  the  late  1960s  and  have  been  involved  in  public  education  on  the  subject  since  the
mid-1970s. What  I  have  noticed  over  the  years  is  the  frequent  mistaking  of  "alternative"  healing  for
"holistic"  healing. Alternative  simply  means  a  method  not  ordinarily  used  in  conventional  treatment. A  doctor  may  add  herbal  or  vitamin  therapy  to  a  patient's  treatment,  thereby  making  it  more  gentle
and  less  toxic  (which  is  wonderful  and  needed)  but  still  fail  to  take  into  consideration  the  patient's
state  of  mind  and  lifestyle,  which  are  inevitably  contributing  to  the  present  manifestation  of  "disease. " Doctors  may,  through  "alternative"  treatment,  be  able  to  alter  the  body's  chemistry  and  eliminate
the  symptoms  of  disease,  but  have  they  righted  the  imbalance  in  the  body,  mind,  and  spirit. It  that
imbalance  is  not  addressed,  we  are  not  aligned  with  who  we  really  are,  and  disease  in  one  fol  m  01
another  will  manifest  once  again. So  when  we  speak  about  healing  or  good  health,  we  must  look  deeper  and  more  fully  at  ourselves
and  at  our  methods  of  treatment  than  we  generally  do  in  this  "make  it  easy,  make  it  quick,  and  it  at
all  possible  make  it  something  someone  else  can  do  for  me"  society. The  Vedas  are  the  oldest  and  most  complete  body  of  knowledge  to  address  the  who,  what,  and  why
of  human  existence. They  have  covered  the  "how  to"  (using  the  current  vernacular)  through  healing
and  attunement  methods,  coming  from  the  understanding  that  we  are  body,  mind,  and  spirit,
innately  and  unalterably  dependent  on  the  rest  of  creation. ix

FOREWORD
In  Ayurveda:  A  Life  oj  Balance,  Maya  introduces  the  Ayurvedic  diet  with  universal  flavor  and
shows  how  to  awaken  ahamkara  (the  memory  of  who  we  really  are)  through  the  proper  use  of
wholesome  foods. By  understanding  our  individual  body  types,  and  by  using  foods  that  best
support  and  enhance  each  type,  we  are  employing  a  powerful  and  essential  method  of  attunement. 1  am  tiul\  grateful  to  Maya  and  the  handful  of  other  Vedic  scholars  who  continue  to  devote  their
lives  to  sharing  this  knowledge  with  the  rest  of  the  world — a  world  that  is  in  great  need  and  that,
we  hope,  may  finally  be  ready. Lindsay  Wagner

met  Maya  almost  two  decades  ago  in  the  early  morning  light  at  Carl  Shurz  Park  overlooking
the  East  River  in  Manhattan. She  was  then  a  famous  designer  with  a  plush  Madison  Avenue  store
selling  to  the  likes  of  Jackie  Onassis. I  was  still  a  photographer  working  primarily  for  Time  Magazine
and  NBC. Our  friendship  grew  quickly. We  spent  endless  hours  discussing  the  overwhelming  fore-
seeable plights  of  our  planet. Maya  is  a  great  visionary  whose  spiritual  fortitude  was  later  to  rescue
her  from  her  devastating  war  with  cancer. (Her  cancer  was  diagnosed  as  terminal,  and  she  was  given
the  vague  possibility  of  six  months  to  live. ) Maya  became  reclusive  during  that  time  and  I

. Self-honesty is the only requirement of any of
these spiritual programs. Self-honesty automatically puts you above level
200. From here up, you’re interested in the truth for its own sake. And what
happens here is extremely important, because the brain chemistry shifts. You shift from left brain, anim al, instinctual dominance of the ego. The
Kundalini energy arises, and you now shift to right brain, which sees things
in a benign way, processes information differently, and also releases
neurotransmitters and neurohormones that alter the way your brain
physiology works. People hoping that everybody in the world’ s going to get together and
sing songs and join hands, and that we’re all going to be happy, are
forgetting that the people below  200 have a different brain physiology, and,
frankly, to them you sound like an idiot. So all the do-goode r peaceniks
who want to envision a new, peaceful world are for getting that 85 percent of
the world calibrates below 200. In America, approximately 50 percent. And
these people have a different brain physiology. This means that what you’resaying to them is nonsensical, meaningless, and probably absurd, and for
which, in their minds, you actually deserve to be killed. That makes it a little difficult—how are you going to turn this into one
peaceful world? People are always asking, “What can I do to help the
world?” Well, being quiet and minding your own business are a good start! Why? Because what actually helps the world is your personal spiritual
evolution. That’ s what helps the world. Your kindness to others begins to
lift the overall level of consciousness of mankind, which unfortunately was
up high and now it’ s come down again. As we know, the consciousness  level of mankind was at 190 for many,
many thousands  of years. At the time of Jesus Christ, it was at about 100. It
slowly came up to 190, and it stayed at 190 over the centuries, through the
1800s and early 1900s. And then in the late ’80s, at the time of the
Harmonic Concordance or Conv ergence, it suddenly jumped to 205. And it
stayed at 205. The next time there was a Harmonic Conc ordance or
Conver gence, we were giving a lecture in San Francisco. And at the exact
time of this event, consciousness level of mankind went from 205 to 207. This was documented and recorded: it went to 207. Since that time, it stayed steady, and then it slowly started to decrease
again. So it was at 207, then it came down 206, 205, and now it’s come
down to 204, which is a little close to the line, because 200 is really the
critical line, due to two things: the effect of the philosophy of relativism,
and all of its invasion of integrity and truth, together with the people
dedicated to violence. So betwe en violence on one side, and apologists for
the violent people on the other side, the world has come down. But that’s not really our concern. We’ll let God worry about that. The
world is perfect as it is. It offers the maximum karmic potentia l of choice. The spirit cannot evolve unless it has choice. If you’re forced to always be a
certain way, there’ s no karmic merit. Because you take the respons ibility for the evolution of your own
consciousness, every second you are making choices. The human spirit is
sort of like a karmic track. I always picture that it’s like a little, tiny iron
filing, and the infinite field of consciousness is like an infinitely powerful
electromagnetic field, so that by virtue of that which you have become, you
position yourself within the field. There’ s no judgmental God who says you’re being bad and you’re being
good. No one says if you’re good, we’ll reward you and move you overhere, and if you’re bad, we’ll put you down here. You have  your own
choice; nobody steers your canoe but you. You, by your own choices and by
your own agreement, more or less, change the charges on yourself. Let’s
look at this in terms of positive and negative. I’ll say, “You’re an SOB, and
I hate you,” and then you go a little more negative. And then you say, “But I
forgive you,” and then you go a little more positive. You probably didn’ t know what you were doing, like Socrates said. On
the other hand, you ought to know by now, and move on a little bit. So, you
see, you’re like a little thing like this, fluctuating in the electromagnetic
spectrum. And the spirit is what survives, and when it leaves the body, it
goes to that which it is. So, I agree with Freud that the negative depictions of God are projections
from the human unconscious. However, Freud then went on and made a
mistake. He went further than that. He said, “Therefore, a true God doesn’ t
exist.” No. Just because a false God doesn’ t exist, doesn’ t mean a true one
doesn’ t. So, that’ s why Freud calibrated 499. The 400s are extremely powerful and important. Love is 500; joy is 540. And as you reach the higher levels, you find unconditional love, which, I
think, is the best goal to aim for in human life. Unconditio nal love is
reachable within the human domain. The states of enlightenment are very
difficult to reach in today’ s world, but unco nditional love means that you
leave and you move into heavenly and celestial realms. If you want to save the world, I would suggest the first thing you do is let
go and surrender the world to God, which is the same thing other great
teachers have said. The world that you see doesn’ t even exist. It’s all a
projection of your own perception.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

because all you’re changing is your own projections that you’ve projected
out there. Y ou’re not changing anything in the world at all. Unless a man has a choice between good and evil, how’ s he going to
transcend? If you don’t have any enemies, who do you have left to forgive? You know what I mean? I’m a failur e. I haven’ t got anybody I’d love to
forgive. Now, what ar e we going to do in the Course in Miracles? Spiritual work is primarily yin. It’s yang by its intention, but it’s yin by
its operation. For example, I ask God what is the answer to a thing, and then
I step back and allow the space for revelation. So, progress is achieved
often without even thinking—you just have a feeling of knowing or anintuition. And then if you know muscle testing, you can just check it out for
affirmation. It has been very, very useful. The enlightened  and divined states, the supreme God and all these things,
calibrate at 1,000 or above. As we know, the majority of the world’ s
population calibrates below 200. Why doesn’ t the world go to pieces and
just destroy itself? It gets close  to that periodically. Mankind has been at
war 93 percent of recorded time. The other 7 percent, we were too sick or
too poor, probably. The plague was on. Couldn’ t get our act together to get
out there and kill each other. Why doesn’ t the world just self-destruct? It’s because it’s a logarithmic
scale. So logarithmically, the advance of a few points is enormously
powerful. In fact, in the United States, even just a couple of people calibrate
so high and logarithmically, the power is so great that it totally
counterbalances the negativity of mankind, which would self-destruct. So,
those who are 200 and up—readers like you—are keeping the world from
going down the tubes. The relative power, because it’s logarithmic, is so
enormous that it counterbalances the negativity
