You may experiment with two compl ementary methods of increasing your energy store. In one you imagine energy entering through
the crown chakra while in the other you imagine that you retain the prana that you inhale with the air. With some practice you may
even combine both exercises and do them at the same time. The main rule in all of this is that energy ﬂow follows our awareness and
intentions.
Chakra Exercises10/30/24, 3:01 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Bio-energies
https://health-science-spirit.com/Energies/Bio-energies.html 5/10Sit or lie in a relaxed position and focus on one chakra at each session. Start with the crown chakra or crown center. Keep your
awareness centered at the top of your head until you feel a light pressure, warmth, tingling or other sensation developing in that area.
Whatever you can feel, intensify it. However, it is preferable to replace any feeling of pressure with a feeling of warmth as soon as
that can be done in order to avoid an uncomfortable pressure from building up.
You may also imagine a stream of white light entering the top of the head or you may visualize an energy vortex in this position. It
spins clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere. You may combine all or several of these
imaginations and use whatever is most suitable to develop a feeling awareness of this chakra.
Repeat focusing on the same chak ra in subsequent sessions until you can easily feel its presence. Then move to the forehead
chakra. In addition to trying to feel a light pressure or warmth, it is helpfu l to close your eyes and focus them as if looking at the inside
of the center between your brows. You may also imagine the white light ﬂowing into the top of your head where it turns violet and then
continues to ﬂow into the forehead center and illuminates it with an indigo color.
With the throat chakra you may use similar imagery but ﬁnally making it a blue color. In addition you may feel the warmth of your
outgoing breath ﬁrst in your nose and then transfer this feeling to the throat. Intensify the warmth and combine it with the blue in a
pulsating rhythm.
With the heart chakra also try another method: imagine that your breath moves in and out the chest through the middle of your chest
bone. You can try this imaginary breathing through skin and bone also with any of the other chakras, it just is easiest to learn at the
heart center.
In this way also learn to feel the lower chakras, the solar plexus, the pubic and the base chakra. Imagine the base chakra as an
energy vortex that points to the base of the spine. With this, the crown vortex and the base vortex are like an hourglass that is
separated by the length of the spine. All the other chakra vortexes are perpendicular to the spine. For further information on chakras
and energy work see The Love Cure. Actually the best and safest way of developing the chakra system is by living appropriately in all
life situations with a strong ﬂow of positive feelings related to the various energy centers.
Storing Prana
To accumulate and store prana from the air, imagine that the inhaled breath consists of two parts, the physical air molecules as well
as the prana. During inhalation the lungs automatically separate the prana from the air molecules. You only exhale the 'empty' air
while the prana ﬂows to where you lead it with your conscious attention. The body uses the abdomen with its high water content as a
storage reservoir of excess bio-energy.
To energize the abdomen, you imag ine and try to feel the breath energy moving directly into the abdomen during inhalation. When
exhaling you imagine that you press the energy down so that it becomes compressed at the bottom of the abdomen. With each
successive breath more compresse d energy accumulates until the target area feels sufﬁciently energized. You may feel this as
warmth, tingling, pressure or any other sensation.
If you can visualize colors, you may also try to see the energy being stored as a golden-yellow ﬂuid that gradually ﬁlls the whole
abdomen. Initially you may also see it ﬁlling the whole abdomen like a gas with a very faint color that becomes more intense with
each breath. However, it is not enough just to visualize, it is essential also feeling the energy.
Another important consideration is the actual prana content of the air that you breathe. You gain the most energy when the air is high
in prana, such as outdoors in natural surroundings on a sunny day. However, most of the time you will be doing this exercise in far
less than ideal conditions. Nevertheless, do persevere with it while trying to maximize the prana in your inhaled air by opening
windows, exercising on a sunny day and minimizing negative elements, such as electromagnetic forces and synthetics in your room.
In contrast to accumulating prana through breathing, there is no such restriction when taking in energy through the top of the head,
as this comes from another dimensional level. But as both energies have different frequencies and complement each other, it is
beneﬁcial to work with both methods.
Circulating the Energy
A Chinese exercise to increase our energy and wellbeing is circulating life-force energy in what is called the microcosmic orbit. Start
with accumulating energy either through the crown center or by condensing breath energy and lead it into the abdomen.
When you have a good feeling sensation of the energy in the abdomen, imagine this sensation ﬂowing into the pubic center. Intensify
the sensation until you can feel the pubic chakra quite well and then let the energy ﬂow into the perineum and the base of the spine.
Feel the energy there in any way you can, in addition you may envision it having a red color in this area.
Now imagine a valve opening at the tailbone and with each inhalation you lift part of the energy to a point in the spine behind the
pubic center. When you can feel it well, be it as pressure, warmth, tingling or any other sensations, lift the energy with your breath to
a point behind the solar plexus center. If you ﬁnd that you can lift the energy better during exhalations or by paying no attention to the
breath at all, which is ﬁne as well, experiment and use the method that works best for you.
As you continue to lift the energy to the back of the heart center and then to the back of the neck you imagine that your spine is a
straight hollow tube through which the energy ﬂows following your intentions. Next concentrate the energy at the back of the head
and ﬁnally at the top of the head. Reinforce it with the energy entering the top of the head and then lead it down into the forehead
center. It helps during the whole exercise but especially at this time to touch the roof of the mouth with the tip of the tongue. This
makes it easier for the energy to ﬂow further down into the blue throat center and then into the heart center.
To complete the exercise, lead the energy further down into the natural storage area for excess energy behind the navel. Imagine that
it ﬂows towards the center of a spiral where it is condensed and stored as a ball of energy in the abdomen, ready for future use.
When needed, this energy may be reactivated with your intention and used for healing yourself or others by directing it with your mind
where you want it to go. It may also be used for tasks with high-energy requirement and is the same energy that masters of the
martial arts aim to cultivate and use.
In addition to circulating the energy in this'microcosmic orbit' you may sometimes include the extremities in a so-called'macrocosmic
orbit'. After circulating several times in the microcosmic orbit stop at the perineum and divert the energy down the back of the legs.
Pause at the back of the knees and try to feel the two smaller energy vortexes there. Then continue guiding the energy down the10/30/24, 3:01 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Bio-energies
https://health-science-spirit.com/Energies/Bio-energies.html 6/10back of the calves and around the outer ankles. Feel another set of minor chakras in the center of the soles of your feet and ﬁnally
lead the energy up again along the insides of the legs. Circle around the knees and back to the perineum to continue the
microcosmic orbit.
At the top of the back divide the energy again and lead it under the armpits and down the inside of

“Why don’t you go out there and turn over that old lumber and those rocks
and kill the scorpions out there?” He was scared to death—killing scorpions
would take courage. I don’t know how much courage it takes to kill a
squirrel, but it can’ t really be much.
What is the cost to the person who takes life willfully for a momentary
thrill? In the long-term cases  I’ve studied, the cost to the person is
enormous. The price is really devastating to them. None of these people
have any real personal power or magnetism. They don’t have the power to
transform the situation simply by being  who they are. People who are
coming from power have the capacity to transform the situation merely by
their presence. It’s just the fact that they are there, that they are part of it
that makes all the dif ference.
When we’ve owned power, it’s not what we have and it’s not what we do
that counts. It’s who we are. It’s what we become. Power is greatness.Greatness is stature. Stature is presence. Presence comes from the ABC that
we own within ourselves. It can’t be purchased. It can’t even be earned. The
world acknowledges its presence just because it “is.”
Step 8: Decide on what qualit y we intend to serve in others, and be
careful. What we serve in others is exactly what we will bring out in
ourselves. I’ve already given quite a few examples of this, but let’s go into
it in greater detail.
We pull to us that which we serve, and it is impossible to serve two
masters. We cannot become strong by catering to human weakness. We
become strong by supporting strength. We become dynami c when we
support the aliveness of others. We become great when we support the
greatness of others. We become beautiful when we support the beauty of
life. If we are truly coming from the heart, we don’t have to worry about
success. The world will love us, be loyal to us, support us, and forgive us all
kinds of mistakes. If we treat all of our customers like royalty, surprisingly
we will find ourselves living a rather royal life.
As we support all of the human qualities that were mentioned: greatness,
valor, courage, beauty, truth, honesty, integrity, good health, education, and
the like, we will bring forth the same qualities in ourselves. The converse is
also true. Few people realize it, but who we are inspires others.
For exam ple, I don’t remember now a single present that anybody in the
family gave me as a child. I remember opening presents every Christmas
and birthday, but strangely I don’t remember any “thing” that they gave me.
I remember that I adored my grandparents for who they were to me, not
what they did for me. In other words, it wasn’ t my grandfather taking me
fishing that was important—it was his lovingness in taking me fishing and
probably taking me around to show me off to his friends. What I remember
was his pride in me.
It is now quoted  widely and said sadly that the problem with our current
world is that it lacks heroes. Yet heroes are not missing. Rather, what is
absent is the capacity to see the heroes that are all over the place. The
inability to see them is because people have confused hero with heroics or
that which is impressive. There are heroes everywhere. There is greatness to
be seen. We just need to know where to find it.
To demo nstrate this, let’s look at one of the personages of greatness of
our own time. Mother Teresa was one of the all-time success stories: Herewas a little 90-pound lady who spent no money on advertisement, market
strategies, or promotion; had no sales crew, no Madison Avenue image
makers, and no speechwriters; yet she had more power in one finger than
anyone can even imagine. All she had to do was wiggle her little finger and
she raised millions. Throngs followed her. People would travel thousands of
miles to stand in the sun or rain for hours, on tired and aching feet, to catch
a glimpse of her.
What was this lady’ s magic? Was it because she was a celebrity? Well,
that’s the A→ B→ C of it all. No. People hoped for a glimpse of her so that
they could experience her ABC. What they wanted to experience was her
“presence.” Not a bit of advertising, marketing, or image making, and yet
endless books have been writte n about her. She had millions of followers.
She was a winner of the Nobel Prize. She was internationally acclaimed as
one of the greats of our time.
From where did the greatness and power arise in Mother Teresa? They
arose because she addressed the loftiness and the most noble and great
qualities within human nature: unconditional love and nonjudgmental
compassion. She exhibited the heart of all hearts, although small, wizened,
and hunched over, with no money or position of her own. There  was a long
waiting list to join her. As a matter of fact, people had to go through an
eight-year period  of trial, tests, and hard work in service to see if they even
qualified to join her or ganization.
The lady really had to have something, didn’ t she? Obviously, she was on
the level of a master. She had outclassed everyone. So by what virtue did
that happen? By charity? There are a lot of people in the world who are
charitable, and there are plenty of charities. By dogooderism? No. There are
lots of professi onal do-gooder s. They don’t win Nobel Prizes. By her
kindness? No. There are many kind people in the world. Why did she stand
head and shoulders above them all? It was because her alignment,
commitment, dedication, and personal sacrifices reached a level that can
only be described as devotion.
When one dedicates one’s life to the carrying out of the principle of
universal truth, that person becomes magnetic. They develop the power of
attraction. What they have and what they do are secondary to what they are.
There are kings of the world and there are king-makers. We know it’s a
truism that the most successful people don’t even strive for success. Theystrive for some other quality altogether. It is that quality, which the world
acknowledges and brings them, that we term success.
What was it that Mother Teresa acknowledged in others, and by so doing
magnificently brought forth for all of us to see in her? When she ministered
to the poor and the sick and the dying in the streets of Calcutta, was she
trying to save them from death? Was she trying to raise funds for the poor?
No. What she ministered to and acknowledged was the intrin sic truth of
human dignity, worth, value, nobility, and greatness. Those qualities are
intrinsic in every human being,  no matter how abysmal their external life
situation may seem to be.
Mother Teresa acknowledged for them that which they had not
acknowledged in themselves. Consequently, she acted like a mirror to them.
By looking at her, they saw back the reflection of that which they had
denied—the grandeur of the existence of their own beingness. Even the
lowliest of the low deserve the respect of the recognition of the intrinsic
dignity of just being human. Sharing the human experienc e is trans-
formative. Having seen this within themselves, having witnessed it, and
having known the truth of it by seeing its reflection in her eyes, they died
with a smile on their faces in a state of beatitude. That’ s power. That’ s
impressive. That’ s awesome.
If we look back we’ll see that many times we went to a party or an event
because a certain person was going to be there. Notice that the reason we
went is because that person was going to just “be” there—not to give
anything away, not to do anything, just be there. We want to meet such
people because they have some quality that we hope to acquire. As we
become a true success, people will want us to be at their parties; it will
make a difference to the event because we will be there. After a while
people want us to be on their board of directors. They want us to be on their
letterhead. They  want us to be on their committees. They want us to be a
member of their organizations. They want us to write a forewo rd for their
books. They want a blurb for the jacket. They want our autographs. They
want people to take their picture standing next to us.
Success may or may not bring celebrity status. It depends on the arena of
the venture and our choices about the matter. Regardless of what the world
reflects back, our success will always remain an inner matte r, which is
experienced solely within us. The best the world can do, really, is to
celebrate it.Step 9: Never  forget that the way to be a success is by sharing it with
others.  By not sharing our success with others, we deprive them of their
motivation to support our success. If by acknowledgment we give
recognition to the importance of the part they’ve played in our success, they
will all join

All	cases	of	polio	are	not	paralytic.	Dr.	Shelton	discusses	the	subject	in	an	article

titled,	DO	PHYSICIANS	CAUSE	INFANTILE	PARALYSIS?	(Hygienic

Review,	Dec.	1944)	in	which	he	says:

"I	have	never	seen	paralysis	result	in	cases	of	poliomyelitis	that	had	not	been

treated	with	drugs...They	(the	physicians)	kill	and	cripple	their	patients	with	their

suppressive	measures	and	then	blame	the	results	on	the	‘disease’	or	on	an

unknown	virus.	The	value	of	the	Kenny	treatment	is	the	negative	one	of	being

less	suppressive	and	less	destructive	than	the	battle	ax	treatment	of	the	medical

profession.	It	does	not	cure	more,	it	merely	kills	fewer."

"In	1908	Dr.	Karl	Landsteiner,	Austrian	pathologist,	published	his	theory,	still

held	today	(by	backward	medical	doctors)	that	it	is	a	‘virus’	that	launches

epidemic	polio.	A	‘virus’	is	defined	(by	him)	as	a	pathogenic,	or	disease

producing	microbe,	the	poison	of	a	contagious	disease.	Landsteiner	based	his

theory	on	the	fact	that	he	had	been	able	to	induce	polio	in	monkeys	by	injecting

them	with	nerve	tissues	from	fatal	human	cases.	Believing	that	‘the	poliomyelitis

produced	in	experimental	animals	is	pseudo-poliomyelitis	produced	by	Pseudo

(false)	virus’.	Dr.	Scobey	(in	his	research)	reasoned	that	‘the	disease	they

produced	in	the	monkey	was	an	artificial	disease	and	not	a	natural	illness	as	it

occurred	in	man.’	After	exhausting	medical	literature	in	the	form	of	case-
histories	of	the	subject	in	all	lands	and	at	all	known	times	of	its	appearance,	he

concluded:

1)	It	has	never	been	proved	that	the	‘virus’	of	polio	can	cause	that	disease	in

human	beings;

2)	It	has	been	proved	that	polio	can	be	caused	by	cyanide	poisoning."

(Prevention	Magazine,	June,	1950)

Cyanide	is	one	of	the	deadly	poisons	that	is	permitted	to	be	used	in	insecticide

sprays	on	farm	produce.	It	not	only	poisons	the	food	it	is	sprayed	on	but	it	is

washed	by	the	rains	into	the	soil	where	it	kills	the	valuable	earth	worms	and

other	soil	building	organisms	and	renders	the	farm	land	sterile	and	unproductive.

It	also	washes	down	into	the	streams	and	contaminates	the	water	supply	for	both

man	and	animals.
	During	one	of	our	most	widespread	polio	epidemics	(1949)	‘contraction	of	polio

by	definite	contact	with	other	victims	of	the	disease	was	not	established	in	an

elaborate	study	made	by	the	New	York	State	Health	Department.	The	United

States	Public	Health	Service	in	its	studies	also	found	the	same	negative	answer

during	succeeding	outbreaks	of	polio.	In	short,	they	learned	that	the	disease	was

not	contagious."	TIME	Magazine	commented	on	this	unexpected	revelation	of

these	surveys	by	remarking	that	"when	and	where	people	catch	polio	remains	a

mystery."

The	supposition	that	viruses	entered	through	the	mouth	and	nose	led	the

experimenters	to	make	exhaustive	tests	on	both	animals	and	human	beings,

mostly	prisoners	and	orphans	in	institutions.	They	were	exposed	(by	close

association)	to	polio	patients	and	their	throats	and	nasal	passages	were

frequently	swabbed	with	matter	(from	the	patients)	that	was	supposed	to	contain

viruses.	No	polio	was	produced	in	this	way	and	about	the	only	noticeable	after

effect	was	that	the	subjects	of	the	experiments	lost	their	sense	of	taste	and	smell

due	to	the	damaging	effects	of	the	poisons	in	the	serum	that	was	used	on	the

swabs.

CONFUSION	IN	THE	RANKS	OF	THE	GERM	BREEDERS

In	spite	of	all	the	proof	to	the	contrary,	those	who	profit	by	the	sale	of	vaccines

are	trying	to	make	their	theory	‘stick,’	but	there	is	dissension	and	clash	of

conflicting	belief	for	lack	of	facts	to	depend	on	Dr	Salk’s	stand	on	his	dead	virus

theory	is	reviewed	in	LIFE	magazine	in	the	article	‘Tracking	the	Killer’	in	which

the	writer	says	Dr	Salk	has	reason	to	believe	that	his	killed	virus	when	given	in

the	prescribed	manner—the	third	booster	shot	increases	antibodies	enormously
—may	even	improve	on	nature.	A	confused	little	man	with	a	batch	of	putrid

serum	thinks	he	can	improve	on	nature.

Robert	Goglan	(in	the	same	article)	writes:

"Virus	diseases,	preventable	by	vaccination,	were	found	to	be	ones	in	which	the

virus	was	blood-borne	during	some	early	stage	of	the	infection	And	this	brings

us	to	a	basic	dilemma	that	confronted	polio	researchers	Nobody	could	find	polio

viruses	in	the	blood	of	the	polio	victims	at	any	stage."

This	is	an	interesting	point	because	the	blood	circulates	through	the	body	every

three	minutes	carrying	the	purified	arterial	blood	to	the	cells	and	carrying	away
	the	waste	laden	blood	in	the	veins	to	be	purified	again	If	viruses	caused	polio

then	there	would	be	some	indication	of	dead	viruses	found	in	the	venous	blood

and	live	viruses	would	be	found	both	in	and	outside	of	the	body.

What	started	the	"dead	virus"	tangent	anyway?	It	was	disastrous	effects	of	the

previous	vaccines	that	were	supposed	to	contain	live	viruses	that	turned	the

people	against	this	method	of	mass	murder	But	the	one	track	minds	of	some	of

the	researchers	were	determined	to	hang	on	to	the	virus	gimmick,	whether	alive

or	dead,	so	dead	virus	vaccine	was	invented

An	account	of	one	of	the	deadly	polio	vaccine	experiments	on	living	human

beings	may	be	found	in	the	Journal	of	the	American	Medical	Association,	(Dec.

28,	1935,	Vol	105	p	2152).	The	report	was	made	by	the	Medical	Director	of	the

United	States	Public	Health.	He	says:

"During	the	past	year	in	the	United	States,	several	thousand	individuals	mostly

children,	have	received	subcutaneous	and	intracutaneous	injections	of	treated

poliomyelitis	virus	with	high	fatality"	He	describes	12	cases	of	which	6	died

within	20	days	of	receiving	the	first	dose	of	vaccine.	Of	the	remaining	6	hope	of

recovery	was	doubtful.	This	was	from	(supposedly)	live	virus.

Here	we	see	that	the	doctors	were	able	to	cause	polio	with	serum	(protein

poisons)	but	they	were	not	able	to	cure	or	control	it.	The	report	continues:	"It	is

believed	that,	to	many	physicians,	this	series	of	cases...readers	undesirable	the

 research suggests that a key to understanding how
this rapid downloading of information works is the brain’ s fluctuating
electrical activity as measured by electroencephalograms. The literal
definition of electroencephalograms (EEGs) is “electric head pictures.”
These increasingly sophisticated head pictures reveal a graded range of
brain activity in human beings. Both adults and children display EEG
variations that range from low frequency delta  waves through high
frequency beta  waves. However, researchers have noted that EEGactivity in children reveals, at every developmental stage, the
predominance of a specific brain wave.
Dr. Rima Laibow in Quantitative EEG and Neur ofeedback  describes
the progression of these developmental stages in brain activity. (Laibow
1999 and 2002) Between birth and two years of age, the human brain
pr edominantly  operates at the lowest EEG frequency, 0.5 to 4 cycles per
second (Hz), known as delta  waves. Though delta  is their predominant
wave activity, babies can exhibit periodic short bursts of higher EEG
activity. A child begins to spend more time at a higher level of EEG
activity characterized as theta  (4-8 Hz) between two and six years of age.
Hypnotherapists drop their patients’ brain activity into delta  and theta
because these low frequency brain waves put them into a more
suggestible, programmable state.
This gives us an important clue as to how children, whose brains are
mostly operating at these same frequencies between birth and six years
of age, can download the incredible volume of information they need to
thrive in their environment. The ability to process this vast quantity of
information is an important neurologic adaptation to facilitate this
information-intense process of enculturation. Human environments and
social mores change so rapidly that it would not be an advantage to
transmit cultural behaviors via genetically programmed instincts. Y oung
children carefully observe their environment and download the worldly
wisdom of fered by parents directly into their subconscious memory. As a
result, their parents’ behavior and beliefs become their own.
Researchers at Kyoto University’ s Primate Research Institute have
found that baby chimps also learn by simply observing their mothers. In
a series of experiments, a mother was taught to identify the Japanese
characters for a variety of colors. When the Japanese character for a
specific color was flashed on a computer screen, the chimp learned to
choose the right color swatch. Upon selecting the right color, the chimp
received a coin that she could then put in a vending machine for a fruit
treat. During her training process, she was holding her baby close. T o the
surprise of researchers, one day, as the mother was retrieving her fruit
from the vending machine, the infant chimp activated the computer.
When the character appeared on the screen, the chimp selected the
correct color, received a coin, and then followed his mother to the
vending machine. The astonished researchers were left to conclude thatinfants can pick up complex skills solely by observation and don’ t have
to be actively coached by their parents. (Science 2001)
In humans as well, the fundamental behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes
we observe in our parents become “hard-wired” as synaptic pathways in
our subconscious minds. Once programmed into the subconscious mind,
they control our biology for the rest of our lives … unless we can figure
out a way to reprogram them. Anyone who doubts the sophistication of
this downloading should think about the first time your child blurted out
a curse word picked up from you. I’m sure you noted its sophistication,
correct pronunciation, its nuanced style, and context carrying your
signature.
Given the precision of this behavior -recording system, imagine the
consequences of hearing your parents say you are a “stupid child,” you
“do not deserve things,” will “never amount to anything,” “never should
have been born,” or are a “sickly, weak” person. When unthinking or
uncaring parents pass on those messages to their young children, they are
no doubt oblivious to the fact that such comments are downloaded into
the subconscious memory as absolute “facts” just as surely as bits and
bytes are downloaded to the hard drive of your desktop computer. During
early development, the child’ s consciousness has not evolved enough to
critically assess that those parental pronouncements were only verbal
barbs and not necessarily true characterizations of “self.” Once
programmed into the subconscious mind, however, these verbal abuses
become defined as “truths” that unconsciously shape the behavior and
potential of the child through life.
As we get older, we become less susceptible to outside programming
with the increasing appearance of higher frequency alpha  waves (8-12
HZ). Alpha  activity is equated with states of calm consciousness. While
most of our senses, such as eyes, ears, and nose, observe the outer world,
consciousness resembles a “sense or gan” that behaves like a mirror
reflecting back the inner workings of the body’ s own cellular
community; it is an awareness of “self.”
At around twelve years of age, the child’ s EEG spectrum begins to
show sustained periods of an even higher frequency defined as beta
waves (12-35 Hz). Beta brain states are characterized as “active or
focused consciousness,” the kind of brain activity used in reading this
book. Recently, a fifth, higher state of EEG activity has been defined.Referred to as gamma  waves (>35Hz), this EEG frequency range kicks
in during states of “peak performance,” such as when pilots are in the
process of landing a plane or a professional tennis player is engaged in a
rapid-fire volley.
By the time children reach adolescence, their subconscious minds are
chock-full of information that ranges from the knowledge of how to walk
to the “knowledge” they will never amount to anything or the
knowledge, fostered by loving parents, that they can do anything they set
out to do. The sum of our genetically programmed instincts and the
beliefs we learned from our parents collectively form the subconscious
mind, which can undo both our ability to keep our arm raised in a
chiropractor ’ s of fice and our best New Y ear ’ s resolutions to stop
sabotaging ourselves with drugs or food.
Again I go back to cells, which can teach us so much about ourselves.
I’ve said many times that single cells are intelligent. But remember,
when cells band together in creating multicellular communities, they
follow the “collective voice” of the or ganism, even if that voice dictates
self-destructive behavior. Our physiology and behavior patterns conform
to the “truths” of the central voice, be they constructive or destructive
beliefs.
I’ve described the power of the subconscious mind, but I want to
emphasize that there is no need to consider the subconscious a scary,
super -powerful, Freudian font of destructive “knowledge.” In reality, the
subconscious is an emotionless database of stored programs, whose
function is strictly concerned with reading environmental signals and
engaging in hardwired behavioral programs, no questions asked, no
judgments made. The subconscious mind is a programmable “hard
drive” into which our life experiences are downloaded. The programs are
fundamentally hardwired stimulus-response behaviors. Behavior
activating stimuli may be signals the nervous system detects from the
external world and/or signals that arise from within the body such as
emotions, pleasure, and pain. When a stimulus is perceived, it will
automatically engage the behavioral response that was learned when the
signal was first experienced. In fact, people who realize the automated
nature of this playback response frequently admit to the fact that their
“buttons have been pushed.”Before the evolution of the conscious mind, the functions of animal
brains consisted only of those that we link with the subconscious mind.
These more primitive minds were simple stimulus-response devices that
automatically responded to environmental stimuli by engaging
genetically programmed (instincts) or simple learned behaviors. These
animals do not “consciously” evoke such behaviors, and in fact, may
even be oblivious to them. Their behaviors are programmed reflexes, like
the blink of an eye in response to a puf f of air or the kick of a leg after
tapping the knee joint.

The evolution of higher mammals, including chimps, cetaceans, and
humans, brought forth a new level of awareness called “self-
consciousness,” or, simply, the conscious mind. The newer conscious
mind is an important evolutionary advance. The earlier, subconscious
mind is our “autopilot”; the conscious mind is our manual control. For
example, if a ball comes near your eye, the slower conscious mind may
not have time to be aware of the threatening projectile. Y et the
subconscious mind, which processes some 20,000,000 environmental
stimuli per second v. 40 environmental stimuli interpreted by the
conscious mind in the same second, will cause the eye to blink.
(Norretranders 1998). The subconscious mind, one of the most powerful
information processors known, specifically observes both the
surrounding world and the body’ s internal awareness, reads the
environmental cues, and immediately engages previously acquired
(learned) behaviors—all without the help, supervision, or even
awareness of the conscious mind.

Knowing that the daily use of dis
tilled water in the army and navy has been
attended by the most gratifying results,
letters were addressed to the government
medical departments asking for definite
and authoritative statements as to the
health giving qualities of absolutely pure
water. Sailors have been under daily ob
servation by medical officers for years;
army officers have had ample opportunity
to study the drinking water question at
short range at home and in Cuba, China
and the Philippines, and the result is that
sufficient evidence has been collected to
settle for all time the desirability of dis
tilled water as a daily drink, and its value
in preserving health.
One of the first labors of the medical
department of the army in the Philippines
was the erection of distilling plants in the
city of Manila; from these plants distilled
water was supplied t_o all the camps and
garrisons in and around the city, and it is
not an exaggeration to say that today
every soldier in the Philippines is within
reach of a barrel of chemically pure drink
ing water; and just as surely as he departs
from this barrel in quenching thirst, just
as surely does he invite disease and death.
While thousands of our soldiers have died
in the tropirs from cholera, dysentery,
typhoid and various intestinal disorders,
the sailors of the navy are practically
free from zymotic disturbances. Why?
Sailors drink pure water, and the o~y
pure water is distilled water.

Mr.· Elmer Ellsworth Carey,

Sir:
In answer to.your letter of March 28, 1903,
I am directed by the Acting Surgeon General to state
that existing orders in ~he Philippines require all
drinking water used by United States Troops to be
distilled, or at places where this cannot be done, to
be boiled twenty minutes. It is not too much to say
that this precaution has saved an enormous number-of
lives during the prevalence of cholera and has pre
vented many cases of typhoid fever, dysentery and in
teetinal parasites. Cases of cholera among troops in
the Philippine Islands have been repeatedly traced to
drinking impure water in violation of this order.
No deleterious effect of any kind has been tattributed
to the daily use of distilled or boiled water.
Respectfully,

Mr. Elmer Ellsworth Carey,

Sir:
Replying to your letter of the 28th ultimo,
requesting an expression of opinion as to the value
of distilled water in preserving health and prevent
ing disease, as derived from the experience gained in its use in the Navy, I have to state that there can
be no two opinions as to the protection distilled
water affords to crews of vessels and to stations of
the Nayy against infection from such diseases as are
water-borne. When only distilled water is used for
drinking and other purposes diseases of this class,
as for example, cholera and typhoid, are little
feared. It is conclusively proven that a large num
ber of diseases to which human beings are a prey are
introduced into the economy by means of contaminated
water used for drinking purposes. Distilled water,
as prepared and stored for use in the Navy, is of
course free from infectious agents, and its general
use is a source of great comfort to the Medical Offi
cers who have the maintenance of the health of the
many men in.their charge. When the water supply
is under control, as on board vessels of war, little
apprehension is felt of the introduction of cholera,
typhoid, etc. The'numerous animal parasites that
prey upon mankind and that are known to be water
borne find little place in the medical statistics of
the Navy.

In conclusion I would say that the general
use of distilled water in the Navy is considered one
of the principal factors in establishing the high
standard of health that is maintained in the Navy of
to-day.

Sir:
Replying to your letter of the 6th instant,
I have to state that there is no record to determine
the exact date upon which distilled water began to be
used in the Naval Service.!t ia probable that, to a
greater or lesser degree, it has been in uae since
the introduction of steam aa a motive power in the
Navy. My experience covers a period of twenty years,
and in that time distilled water has been employed
with a growing field of usefulness.
Respectfully,
J. F. URIE,

According to the Journal of the A meri
can M cdical Association, the remarkable
increase in the demand for distilled water
has called forth an article by one Dr.
Koppe, which has been traced to having
been written in the interests of the Carls
bad Springs of Europe; and a wide circu
lation has been given to it in this country
by certain mineral springs and filter com
panies. Scientific and medical journals
have only noticed it to contradict it. Two
short quotations will give the tenor of
their replies. The first is from Homer
Wakefield, M. D., of Bloomington, Ill.,
who is the author of several works on wa
ter. He says:
Arthur R. Reynolds, :M. D., commis
sioner of health, Chicago, uses the follow
ing language:
"The inference that water deprived by
distillation of 'organic elements, cells and
all unicellular organisms' is unwholesome
is preposterous. W c are not expected to
extract organic nourishment from the wa
ter we drink or from the bacteria therein
contained. This remarkable article de
duces that distilled water is a 'dangerous
protoplasmic poison,' because of the ab
sence of inorganic clements. It should be
added here that rain water as is falls from
the clouds is aerated distilled water; it is
the most healthful known. • • •
Rain is nature's production of water free
from impurities. Any amount of it can
be taken into the!')"stem without fear of
detrimental results. Physicians know
that it is the best solvent of inorganic se
cretions in the body, and engineers know
it is the best boiler compound, following
the use of hard water and the consequent
formation of incrustations. Extreme pur
ity is a virtue, not a fault, of water. Be
ware of an author who contends that con
taminated water is conducive to health." The other is from Dr. J. H. Kellogg,
