/G09/G01/G12/G10/G01/G0A/G02/G05/G16/G10/G09/G01/G13/G12/G03/G01 seem like a lot to take in.  But once you
understand the heart of this mess age, it is really beautifully
simplistic.  I channeled and tr anscribed additional messages
in this chapter and the following  one, about th is “already is”
state of living the law of attrac tion, that I believe will clarify
things a little better.  But let’s take a moment now and do a brief outline, to review a step-by-step /G0C/G10/G0E/G0C/G08/G09/G0F/G09  example (using our
previous “ /G17/G03/G01-ness” desire), and bring this important concept to
life.  I provide a more concrete “long-hand” set of instructions
here, for all of us /G18/G05/G0E/G03/G0C/G0C/G03/G0C/G0E /G01/G10/G07/G01/G12/G0D/G0D/G0C/G19/G01/G10/G0B/G02/G16/G01/G0D/G05/G02/G03/G13/G02/G0D/G0C/G04/G01/G02/G03/G01/G07/G08/G05/G01/G0C/G02/G14/G04/G16/G20/G01/G01
Once we allow our /G12/G0C/G11/G05/G09/G04/G01/G0F/G0C/G11/G03/G0C/G0E  and /G03/G0C/G01/G05/G0E/G09/G0F/G01/G03/G07/G0C/G06 of this process,
the flow of our thinking, feeling, and intentional choosing can become a more automatic, “already is,” easier process.  It is /G1D/G03/G01/G2A/G1D/G0C/G05/G04/G12/G11/G19/G01/G21/G16/G24/G01/G18/G1C/G02/G16/G10/G01/G07/G03/G01/G1B/G02/G14/G02/G03/G0E/G01/G10/G0B/G04/G01/G1B/G12/G1C/G01/G07/G0A/G01/G1D/G10/G10/G05/G12/G13/G10/G02/G07/G03  53
a new shift in thinking.  So ad mittedly for some of us, it will
take a little practice before we convert it to an easy flowing form
of inner “sentient shorthand.”  Let’s start at the beginning.
/G24/G0F/G09/G16/G01/G02/G2C/G01/G01 /G2F/G12me the core truth of your desire, and list the
associated feelings that you have about it.  Allow yourself to flow for a moment with the se ntiments, feelings, and desires
contained within this core truth, without going into great feeling depth and emotions about these things as they surface.  You are simply allowing them to surface, and acknowledging
them, by listing them on paper.
Example:
Name Your Desire – Its Core Truth:
/G21/G01/G1C/G12/G03/G10/G01/G10/G07/G01/G0C/G07/G16/G04/G01/G1C/G04/G02/G0E/G0B/G10/G20
Associated Feelings:
/G21/G01/G11/G07/G03/G37/G10/G01/G1C/G12/G03/G10/G01/G12/G03/G19/G01/G0F/G04/G11/G02/G13/G12/G0C/G01/G02/G16/G16/G08/G04/G16/G01 as a result of the weight.
I don’t want to have to worry about what I am going to wear, or what fits. I want to sleep better. I am tired of feeling unattractive.
I am tired of feeling tired.
/G24/G0F/G09/G16/G01/G30/G2C/G01/G01 Positively reframe your /G0F/G04/G04/G07/G0D/G03/G0F/G01/G05/G11/G06/G17/G05/G05/G10 /G03/G0C/G0E/G04 /G09/G01/G22/G19/G01/G02/G03/G14/G04/G05/G10/G02/G03 g
them to their positive qualities.  In other words, state what you /G14/G0F/G0C/G01/G06 /G12/G22/G07/G08/G10/G01/G10/G0B/G07/G16/G04/G01/G0A/G04/G04/G0C/G02/G03/G0E/G16/G09/G01/G03/G07/G10/G01/G1C/G0B/G12/G10/G01/G19/G07/G08/G01 don’t /G01/G1C/G12/G03/G10/G20/G01/G01/G1F/G08/G16/G0B/G02/G03/G0E/G01
against something we don’t want creates energetic resistance, and only /G09/G1B/G16/G0B/G0E/G11/G19 /G01/G1C/G0B/G12/G10/G01/G1C/G04/G01/G11/G07/G03/G37/G10/G01/G1C/G12/G03/G10/G20/G01/G01/G1B/G02/G23/G04/G1C/G02/G16/G04/G09/G01/G16/G10/G12/G10/G02/G03/G0E/G01/G1C/G0B/G12/G10/G01
we do want, expands its vibrational reality within our
experience.  So, when sculpting an  affirmation or  declaration,
reframe your associated feelings so that they state what you /G11/G07
want.  Write them down on a piece  of paper in front of you.
Example:
Associated Feelings Reframe:
I am healthy.
I am free to wear whatever I choose. I feel peaceful.  I sleep peacefully.Cosmic Wealth
 54
I am my divine, magnificent, beautiful essence.
I am energetic and energized.
Step 3.  Positively reframe /G1A/G07/G12/G09/G06/G0D/G07/G09/G05/G06/G11/G05/G04/G03/G09/G05 /G09/G01/G0A/G05/G07/G0F/G01/G19/G07/G08/G05/G01/G03/G07/G1C/G01
reframed associated feelings.  Stat e it clearly, framing it in a
declaration of /G08/G07/G04/G03/G01/G03/G13/G05 /G01/G02/G03/G10/G04/G03/G10/G02/G07/G03/G20/G01/G2E/G10/G12/G10/G04/G01/G02/G10/G01/G12/G16/G01/G13/G07/G03/G13/G02/G16/G04/G0C/G19/G01/G12/G16/G01/G0D/G07/G16/G16/G02/G22/G0C/G04/G20
When you sculpt an affirmation or declaration, you reframe
your associated feelings to state th e feeling essence of what you
/G11/G07 want.  Write it down.
Example:
/G14/G10/G08/G09/G01/G31/G09/G19/G13/G08/G09/G01/G32/G09/G0A/G08/G0B/G25/G09/G21/G01/G01 /G21/G01/G12/G0F/G01/G0B/G04/G12/G0C/G10/G0B/G19/G09/G01/G04/G03/G04/G05/G0E/G02/G38/G04/G11/G09/G01/G12/G03/G11/G01
living free in the experience of my optimum size and
shape for joyful, healthful, and prosperous living.       /G09/G09
/G24/G0F/G09/G16/G01/G05/G2C/G01 /G01/G1D/G0C/G0C/G07/G1C/G01/G19/G07/G08/G05/G01/G16/G04/G03/G10/G02/G04/G03/G10/G01/G16/G04/G0C/G0A/G01/G10/G07/G01/G1C/G05/G02/G10/G04/G01/G12/G01/G0C/G02/G16/G10/G01 of the qualities,
/G07/G17/G06/G01/G02/G0F/G01/G06/G09/G05/G17/G09/G0F/G19/G05/G11/G06/G0D/G07/G09/G05/G06/G11/G05/G04/G03/G09/G05 /G09/G01/G10/G0B/G12/G10/G01/G19/G07/G08/G01/G13/G12/G03/G01/G2A/G16/G04/G04/G24/G01/G1C/G02/G10/G0B/G02/G03/G01/G10/G0B/G04/G01/G11/G04/G16/G02/G05/G04/G20/G01

  say:  "I still  have  my Presence."  I wonder!  Do they?
They  still  have  their  Presence  attached  to their  physical
Hearts;  but  they  do not  stop  to see their  viciousness  re-
leased  toward  persons,  places  and  conditions,  clothes  every
ounce  of the energy  which  goes  into  their  Beings  with  de-
structive  qualities!  Therefore,  they  have  shut  off the Per-
fection  of their  own  Presence,  from  acting  in their  worlds.
Do you  not see its Beloved  Ones ? It does  not make  any
difference  what  the provocation  is; not only  the Messengers
and This  Activity,  but whoever  once  has known  This  Law
and then  allows  viciousness  or discord  to control,  is creating 268 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
that one's  own  destruction;  and  if you  will  watch,  you  will
see it done.  There  is nothing  can stop  it but themselves!
We plead  with  the  people  and  give  them  the  Correct
Understanding  of the Law.  Many  still  go on believing,  they
can send  forth  any  feeling  they  choose  and  not reap  the re-
sults!  Such  a thing  is impossible!  I am  not  condemning
those  unfortunate  Individuals,  but  I am  citing  the  Law
which  acts!  The  Law  of Life  is no respector  of persons!  It
is cause  sent  forth,  which  produces  effect,  and  that  is all
there  is to it! It is the Law  of Life  acting  and  nothing  but
themselves  can  change  It, as long  as they  hold  to such  a
vicious  attitude.
Therefore,  I say  to you  ladies  and  gentlemen,  in your
activity  of the outer  world,  if somebody  has done  a wrong
to you,  please  do not let yourselves  become  angry  or feel
vicious  toward  that  one;  because  then  you  are harming
yourselves!  They  cannot  harm  you.  Suppose  one  swept
away  from  you  all the money  you  had;  do you  think  for
one moment,  that  can interfere  with  your  Great  Life  acting
to again  produce  more;  if you  hold  your  feeling  harmoni-
ous, and  pour  forth  Kindness  and  Blessing  to that  unfortu-
nate  Individual?  The  one  depriving  you  temporarily,  is the
one who  is most  unfortunate,  not you.
If only  blessed  mankind  could  understand  this.  In the
experience  of the depression  a few  short  years  ago,  what  a
Release  would  have  come.  How  those  within  the next  five
years  following,  would  have  restored  all their  loss,  if they
had known  this  "I AM  Presence";  and  how  to call It into DISCOURSE  XVIII  269
action.  Because  the Same  Power  and  Intelligence  is there  in
the Individual,  which  was  there  before  the loss,  so-called,
took  place.
If you  and  mankind  will  understand  These  Laws  and
utilize  Them,  there  is not  a thing  acting  in this  World,
which  can  harm  or deprive  you!  That  is why  I say today,
according  to the Great  Cosmic  Law,  there  is no one  in the
World  who  has wealth,  who  is sure  of sustaining  it, without
the Knowledge  of This  Presence.  The  very  forces  of human
destructive  creation  are pounding  at these  Individuals  to try
and deprive  them.  Every  one  of mankind  who  will  hold
himself  or herself  harmonious;  accept  the "I AM  Presence"
as the Treasure-house;  refuse  to be agitated  or disturbed  by
the appearance  of the outer  world;  will  find  his or her own
individual  world,  supplied  abundantly  with  every  good
thing.
Allow  Me to cite you  to the Messengers.  My dear  people,
they  are the Greatest  Living  Example  of This  Law  in the
World.  They  started  out in Chicago  without  money,  except
enough  to get to Philadelphia,  trusting  the Presence.  Not
only  trusting,  but calling  It into  action  with  the most  dy-
namic  power  you  ever  witnessed.  See what  has been  done
in three  and  a half  years—unparalleled  in the history  of
the Earth  by two  people,  without  one  word  of advertising
to the outside  world.  They  proved  the Law  absolutely  in
their  financial  supply  in the Call  to the Presence;  to bring
to them  the people  who  could  accept  This  Law  and  have
This  Freedom,  and  to keep  out all others. 270 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Therefore,  one  has but to look  at the action  of the Law
and see there  Its Fulfilment  without  question.  That  is why
I cite  these  things  to you,  so you  may  see they  have  been
the Fulfilment  of the Law  and  are today.
Never  was  such  viciousness  driven  at any  two  human
Beings  on Earth  as has been  at them.  Why ? Because  the
destructive  qualities  of mankind  know  This  Light  is their
annulment;  know  it is the Freedom  of all mankind.  That
is the only  reason!  Individuals  allow  themselves  to be made
claws  of the destructive  force,  to try to interfere  with  This
Activity,  but they  have  no power  to do it!
As you  understand  These  Laws,  when  disturbing  con-
ditions  confront  you,  your  attitude  should  be your  Call  to
the Light;  so far as your  own  Protection  and  the Harmoniz-
ing of your  world  is concerned.  Then  the Full  Result  and
Power  of your  Presence  may  come  forth.  I tell you,  Dear
Ones,  it is not a matter  of persons,  places  nor conditions!  It
is a matter  of the Harmony  in your  own  feeling,  which
allows  the Power  of the Presence  to flow  forth  and  produce
these  NATURAL  CONDITIONS  for  you.  It will  do it
every  time!  There  is no such  thing  as failure  in This  Light;
because  It is Light  which  goes  into  action  and  knows  no
resistance.  Even  the destructive  quality  of mankind  never
attempts  to interfere  with  the Light,  because  it knows,  it
cannot  do it.
As you  look  upon  It as Self-luminous  Intelligent  Sub-
stance,  you  know  your  Call  is compelled  to be answered,  by
the very  Light  which  beats  your  Heart  and  gives  you  ac-DISCOURSE  XVIII  271
tivity.  Today,  people  have  within  their  grasp,  the Scepter  of
their  own  Freedom  and  Dominion  over  the conditions  of
Earth.  Believe  Me Dear  Hearts,  when  I say there  is not one
of you,  who  cannot  stand  in the  midst  of everything—I
mean  in the Power  of your  Presence,  and  remain  untouched
by the disturbance  around  you.  Go on, and  on, and  on, into
the Perfection  and  Freedom,  which  your  Heart  knows  is
True  and  which  you  crave  and  want.
At first,  when  you  enter  This  Great  Stream  of Light,  it
means  a Great  Firm  Determined  Stand  to the Light;  and
the refusal  to accept  the gossip  of mankind  from  those  who
do not understand.  Therefore,  all who  are strong  enough
to do that,


.For instance, if the flow of blood into the brain is stoppedfor a fraction of a minute, we could suffer a massivestroke. If it happens in the eye, hemorrhaging can occurthat may blind us. The arteries must remain open so thebloodstream will flow to every square inch of the  body.
Today you will find men and women in their
70s, 80s
and even 90s who have clear, clean, unobstructed, elastic
and flexible arteries. Regardless of their calendar years, they
are young and active because their arteries have notdegenerated to the point of becoming obstructed and
inflexible. These are the most fortunate people in the world
because if all the organs of their bodies are free fromobstruction and toxic materials, there is no reason why
these ageless people cannot live for many years.
The Bible states, before the great flood, people lived
as long as
900 years. We laugh this off by saying that
these people measured their years in an entirely differentway than we do, but how can we be sure of that? It is
quite possible that these people knew how to eat andlive to keep their arteries in perfect working order. Health
is an orderly, harmonious functioning of the body, and
this state of harmony continues as long as the heart,arteries and blood do their work effectively.
When we speak of people being prematurely old, we
mean they didn’t know how to live a healthy lifestyle orkeep their arteries unobstructed and healthy. When these
blocked arteries can’t do their work correctly the blood
can’t get into the brain, and people become senile, oftenlapse into a second childhood, and some get Alzheimer’s.
They are dying a slow, lingering death.136
What a person eats and drinks becomes his own body chemistry.
Knowledge is love and light and vision.

Eat Healthy – Live Healthy – Live Longer
When we fast for a  24 to 36 hour period, or from 3 to
10 days, all the Vital Force in the body is used for internal
purification... which includes purification of all the
arteries. That is why after a 10 day fast there’s a feeling of
lightness in the body. The mind becomes keener, more
alert and the memory improves. The craving for physical
activity will often become intense. Fasting helps to keep
the arteries clean, healthy, elastic and more youthful.
I must reiterate the importance of a thorough check
of the urine. During the 10 day fast, it should be bottled
each morning and saved for observation. The faster willnote a tremendous amount of heavy foreign substances
that have been eliminated from the body, particularly
the heavy mucus toxins that appear in the urine.
In my opinion, we can add years to our hearts with a
systematic program of fasting, coupled with The BraggHealthy Lifestyle program of natural food which reduces
the waxy cholesterol that clogs arteries. We must think
of our arteries as the key to life if we want to win thegreatest battle in life – staying alive on this earth. When
you stuff yourself on high-fat meals day after day you
are bound to accumulate cholesterol, obstructions andtoxins. Retribution is bound to come. Americans are the
biggest eaters of fat in the world. Consequently we lead
the world in cardiovascular, heart and stroke diseases.
This is one reason that I believe in the No Heavy
Breakfast Plan. I have known many young, healthy menand women who made it a habit every morning to eat aso-called hearty breakfast of ham and eggs or bacon and
eggs, buttered toast, fried potatoes and coffee loaded with
cream. Many of these supposedly healthy people werestricken early with heart attacks or strokes that either
killed them or made them invalids the rest of their lives.137
Circulatory System’s
Arteries and Veins
The heart is really a double pump –
each side is composed of 2 powerful
chambers, an auricle and a ventricle.Your Miracle Heart and Circulatory System
You cannot eat any food simply because you think it agrees
with you! You won’t make this mistake if you know about the
physiology of your body. Hippocrates, father of medicine said,“Nutrition shall be your medicine.”  Eating is a science, it’s more
than tickling the palate. Eating is a serious function, especiallyif you want to keep your arteries clean, unobstructed andunblocked and healthy for a long, active life.
Before you go on the program that I have outlined in
this book, get a thorough physical examination by a goodhealth doctor. Have him acquaint you with the condition
of your heart, arteries and blood. Know your blood pressures,
pulse and blood cholesterol (chart page
138) and then follow
this healthy lifestyle for a year. Then return to your doctor
for an examination again. I believe your doctor will say you
have made a miraculous transformation in your body inone short year. Again, remember you are only as young as
your arteries and cardiovascular system –  your river of life.138

We are made of tubes. To help keep them open, clean and to maintain
good elimination, add
1 to 2 tbsps of psyllium husk powder daily – hour
after dinner – to juices, herbal teas and even the Bragg Vinegar Drink.Another way to guard against clogged tubes daily is add
1 to 2 tbsps soy
lecithin granules (fat emulsifier-melts like butter ) over potatoes, veggies, soups
and to juices, etc. Also take one cayenne capsule (40,000 HU)  daily with a
meal. Take 50 to 100 mgs regular-released niacin (B-3) with one meal daily
to help cleanse and open the cardiovascular system, also improves memory. Skin flushing may occur; don’t worry about this as it shows it’s working!After cholesterol level reaches
180 or lower, then only take niacin twice weekly.
The heart needs healthy balanced nutrients, so take natural multi-
vitamin-mineral food supplements & extra heart helpers – mixed vitamin
E, C, CoQ10,  magnesium orotate, MSM, selenium, omega–3, zi nc, beta
carotene & amino acids L-Carnitine, L-Taurine, L-Lysine & Proline. Folic
acid, CoQ10,  B6 & B12  helps keep homocysteine level low. Hawthorn
Berry extract brings relief for palpitations, arrhythmia, senile hearts andcoronary disease. Take bromelain (from pineapple) and a multi-digestiveenzyme with meals – aids digestion, assimilation and elimination.
For sleep problems try 5-HTP tryptophan  (an amino acid), melatonin,
calcium, magnesium, valerian in caps, extract or tea, Bragg vinegardrink, sleepytime herbal tea. For arthritis, osteoarthritis, pain/stiffness,try aloe juice or gel, glucosamine, chondroitin
& MSM  combo  (caps &
liquid), helps heal & regenerate. Also capsaicin & DMSO  lotion helps.
Use amazing antioxidants – natural vitamin mixed E, C, Quercetin,
grapeseed and grapefruit extract, CoQ10, selenium, SOD, etc. They
improve  immune system and help flush out dangerous free radicalsthat cause havoc with cardiovascular pipes and health. Researchshows antioxidants promote longevity, slows ageing, fights toxinsand helps prevent disease, cancer, cataracts, jet lag and exhaustion.HEALTHY  HEART HABITS FOR A LONG, VITAL LIFE
 Recommended  Blood  Chemistry  Values139Nine Doctors
The laws of health are inexorable; we see people going down and out in
their


 demands and standards
are, and, further, you have to see their unreasonableness, their
impossibility. When you have a feeling of acute anxiety and
depression, consider the fact that your idealized self may feel
questioned and threatened, either by your own limitations, by
others, or by life. Recognize the self-contempt that underlies the
anxiety or depression. When you are compulsively angry at others,
consider the possibility that this is but an externalizatio n of your
anger at yourself for not living up to the standards of your false self.
Do not let it get away with using the excuse of outer problems to
account for acute depression  or fear. Look into the question from
this new angle. Your private and personal work will help you in this
direction, but it is almost impossible to do it alone. Only after you
have made some substantia l progress will you recognize that so
many of these outer problems are directly or indirectly the result of
the discrepancy between your capacities and the standar ds of your
idealized self and how you deal with this conict.
So, as you proceed in this particular phase of the work, you will
come to understand the exact nature of your idealized self: Its
demands, its requirements of self and others in order to maintain
the illusion. Once you fully see that what you regarded as
commendable is really pride  and pretense, you will have gained amost substantial insight that enables you to weaken the impact of
the idealized self. Then, and then only, will you realize the
tremendous self-punishment you inict upon yourself. For whenever
you fall short, as you are bound to, you feel so impatient, so
irritated, that your feelings can snowball into fury and wrath at
yourself. This fury and wrath  are often projected on others because
it is too unbea rable to be aware of self-hate, unless one unrolls this
whole process and sees it entire, in the light. Neverthele ss, even if
this hate is unloaded upon others, the eect on the self is still there
and it can cause disease, accident, loss, and outer failur e in many
ways.
Giving Up the Idealized Self
When you make the very rst steps toward giving up the idealized
self, you will feel a sense of liberation as never before. Then you
will be truly born again; your real self will emerge. Then you will
rest within your real self, centered within. Then you will truly grow,
not only on the outer fringes that may have been free of the
idealized self’s dictatorship, but in every part of your being. This
will change many things. First will come changes in your reactions
to life, to incidents, to yourself and others. This changed reaction
will be astounding enough, but, little by little, outer things are also
bound to change. Your dier ent attitude will have new eects. The
overcoming of your idealized self means overcoming an important
aspect of the duality between life and death.
At present you are not even aware of the pressure of your
idealized self, of the shame, humiliation, exposure you fear and
sometimes feel, of the tension, strain, and compulsion. If you have
an occasional glimpse of such emotions, you do not as yet connect
them with the fantastic demands of your idealized self. Only after
fully seeing these fanta stic expectations and their often
contradictory imperatives will you relinquish them. The initial inner
freedom gained in this way will allow you to deal with life and to
stand in life. You will no longer have to hold on frantic ally to theidealized self. The mere inner activity of holding on so frantically
generates a pervasive clima te of holding on in gener al. This is
sometimes lived out in external attitudes, but most often it is an
inner quality or attitude. As you proceed in this new phase of your
work, you will sense and feel this inner tightness and gradually you
will recognize the basic damage it causes. It makes the letting go of
many an attitude impossible. It makes it unduly dicult to go
through any change that would allow life to bring forth joy and a
spirit of vigor. You keep yourself contained within yourself and
thereby you go against life in one of its most fundamental aspects.
The words are insucient; you have to sense rather what  I mean.
You will know exactly when you have weakened your idealized self
by fully understanding its function, its causes and eects. Then you
will gain the great freedom of giving yourself to life because you no
longer have to hide something from yourself and others. You will be
able to squander yoursel f into life, not in an unhealthy,
unreasonable way, but healthily as nature squanders herself. Then,
and then only will you know the beauty of living.
You cannot approach this most important part of your inner work
with a general concept. As usual, your most insignicant daily
reactions, considered from this viewpoint, will yield the necessary
results. So continue your self-search out of these new considerations
and do not be impatient if it takes time and relaxed eort.
Coming Home
One more word: The dieren ce between the real and the idealized
self is often not a question of quantity, but rather of quali ty. That is,
the original motivation is dierent in these two selves. This will not
be easy to see, but as you recognize the demands, the
contradictions, the cause-and-eect sequences, the dierence in
motivation will gradually become clear to you. Another important
consideration is the time element. The idealized self wants to be
perfect, accord ing to its specic demands, right now. The real self
knows this cannot be and does not consider this fact painful.Of course you are not perfec t. Your present self is a complex of
everything you are at the moment. Of course you have your basic
egocentricity, but if you own up to it, you can cope with it. You can
learn to understand it and therefore diminish it with each new
insight. Then you will truly experience the truth that the more
egocentric you are, the less self-condent you can be. The idealized
self believes just the opposite. Its claims for perfection are motivated
by purely egocentric reasons,  and this very egocentricity makes self-
condence impossible.
The great freedom of coming home, my friends, is nding your
way back to the real you. The expression “coming home” has often
been used in spiritual literature and teachings, but it has been much
misunderstood. It is often interpreted to mean the return into the
spirit world after physical death. Much more is meant by coming
home. You may die many deaths, one earth life after another, but if
you have not found your real self, you cannot come home. You may
be lost and remain lost until you do nd the way into the center of
your being. On the other hand, you can nd your way home right
here and right now while you are still in the body. When you muster
the courage to become your real self, even though it would seem
much less than the idealized self, you will nd out that it is much
more. Then you will have the peace of being at home within
yourself. Then  you will nd security. Then you will function as a
whole human being. Then you will have broken the iron whip of a
taskmaster whom it is impossible to obey. Then you will know what
peace and security really mean. You will cease once and for all to
seek them by false means.
May you all nd truth and help and further enligh tenment
through the words I gave you tonight. However, you should
understand and expect that a theoretical understanding will avail
you nothing. As long as these words remain theory you will not be
helped by them. When you begin or continue to work in this
direction and allow yourself to feel and observe your emotional
reactions connected to your idealized self, then you will make
substantial progress in your own liberation and self-nd ing in the
truest sense of the word.My dearest ones, each one of you, receive our love, our strength,
and our blessings. Be in peace, be in God!

Compulsion to Recreate and Overcome
Childhood Hurts
The Guide says that depth psychology is a spiritual discipline,
because only through knowing yourself can you purify your soul,
that is, cleanse it of self-destru ctive patterns and make it ready to
connect with the inner God. The “repetition compulsion” is well
known in psychology; what this repetition is supposed to achieve,
however, has never been as illuminatingly explained as in this
lecture. Our repeated negative experiences are bound up not only
with our early childhood, but also with previous incarnations. With
the help of this lecture we can discover why we keep running in our
respective squirrel cages and how we can stop doing so.
Greetings, my dearest friends. God bless all of you. May the divine
blessings extended to every  one of you help you assimilate the
words I speak tonight, so that this will be a fruitful occasion for you.

 from Dr. Cuttem's office, announced the news and waited as she recoiled (she just couldn't believe anything else like this could happen to me), and told
her to pack a bag for me and meet me at the hospital. Corinne was due to have our
second child almost anytime and I was afraid all this excitement might trigger things.
I just could not visualize her being admitted to the hospital with me while our three-year-old son was at home. Luckily, that didn't happen.
   I was admitted to the hospital, went to my room accompanied by my wife, put on
my pajamas, and got into bed. Corinne then departed for home. Sometime later, the laboratory technician came in and drew some blood. Then an orderly came in with
shaving cream and razor and proceeded to shave the essential parts. I assumed he was rather new at this job because his hands we re shaking slightly. I nervously asked him
to be extra careful because I didn't want th e surgery started ahead of schedule by an
accidental slip. He nicked me only once, so I considered myself lucky.
   My surgeon visited me to discuss the operative procedure. He said that because my
ulcerative colitis was so severe only the three gangrenous hemorrhoids would be cut
out. He could not take a chance on a total hemorrhoidectomy with more trauma and
larger rectal packing, which I would pr obably blast right out with my almost
uncontrollable B.M.s.
   (An amazing thing happened, many months later, to all the remaining hemorrhoids,
due to the body's own ability to heal itself, as you will see. This occurs only after I
have left the usual medical programs.)
   Later that evening, the anesthesiologist came to discuss the anesthetic I was to
receive the next morning. It was to be a spinal anesthetic, which didn't thrill me too
much. I never did relish the idea of those long, fat needles being pushed into my
spinal canal. I was also told I would be given a whopping dose of a cortisone drug to
prevent any possibility of my going into shock on the operating table. This tidbit of
information also didn't thrill me too much.
   Finally, everyone was gone from my room. No nurses, no orderlies, no doctors, and
no laboratory technicians. Just silence remained. It was a pleasure for a while, until I
found there was time to think. Then all sorts of morbid thoughts came to my mind concerning the surgery and spinal anesthesia. After all, for years I've heard people talk
about their hemorrhoid operations--all bad. Now, here I am faced with it. How else
could I think? Well, before the evening was over I was completely tensed up over this
entire idea of surgery. I could feel the intes tinal spasms coming, and before I went to
sleep I must have made a dozen trips to the lavatory. But finally sleep did come about
11:00 p.m., at which time I was awakened by the nurse to take a sleeping pill. This
was one of the things I found difficult to understand, but when I inquired of others,
they told me the same story. After falling asleep, these people were eventually
awakened for a sleeping pill.
   Morning came and I was awakened at about 5:00 a.m. by an orderly holding an
enema. I said, "Is that for me?" He nodded approvingly. There's nothing so refreshing
as to wake up early in the morning in a half stupor to have an enema poked into you,
mildly crushing against exquisitely tender hemorrhoids on the way in. That's got to
wake you up! A few other steps in preope rative preparation were carried out, which
took the clock to about 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. About this time, a nurse entered the room with a hypodermic and said to me, "This is to make you relax." She plunged it into the
upper and outer quadrant of my well-cared-for and sought-after hind-end. I knew the only thing that could make me relax was to be anywhere but here.
   My wife, my mother, and a friend arri ved shortly after the injection. I was so
nervous that my hands and feet were blanched, but the sight of familiar faces eased
some of the tension. It wasn't long after that two orderlies came in with the cart to
take me to surgery. They helped me onto the cart, covered me, and began to wheel me out. I waved goodbye to Corinne whose expression was funereal to say the least. I
don't know what was in that hypodermic, but I left the room totally unrelaxed and wide awake. In fact, I really did not want to go, but the intense pain from my posterior
kept reminding me there was no alternative.
   When we arrived at the operating room, my cart was wheeled over to the operating
table where the two orderlies aided me onto it. I gazed up at the large spotlights and then scanned the room. I had always been at the surgeon's position when I performed
foot surgery and did not give much thought to the patient's perspective--until now. I
was very apprehensive. Soon I was given the injection of the cortisone which would
lessen my chances of shock. Then I was rolled over on my abdomen, prepped, and
draped. I could never lie on my abdomen because the pressure would stimulate bowel action and I would have to dash for the lavatory. I concentrated very intently on not
having a B.M. on the operating table and it paid off. But it did remind me of a few
incidents when I had scheduled foot surgery. I was already scrubbed, gowned, and
gloved and either ready to operate or al ready operating when I'd feel a wave of
intestinal spasm giving me the usual uncontrollable urge. I would, of necessity, break sterility and get the hell out of there to a lavatory. Then I would return, enervated and
embarrassed, re-scrub, re-gown, and glove again, and continue where I left off.
   When I returned to reality from this reminiscence, I overheard two nurses, who
thought they were talking quietly, discussing my case. One said, "Is this the
gangrenous hemorrhoid case?" The other answered, "Yes it is, and they sure are
messy." This did not do anything positive for my morale. It seems when patients are
in the operating room, unless they are under general anesthetic, they acquire
supersensitive hearing and everything is magnified.
   While one anesthetist was strapping my right arm to a board prior to hooking me up
to an intravenous solution that would go into a vein on the back of my wrist, I tried to
take my mind off it by playing meaningless games. I glanced around at the doctors
and nurses all masked and gloved and I thought to myself, "Now I know why they wear masks. So they can't be identified. And they probably wear the rubber gloves so
they won't leave any fingerprints."
   A sharp pain in my right wrist brought me back to reality as the anesthetist was
inserting a needle into my vein to begin the intravenous feeding. I was then jolted by
another needle jab which went deep into the lower part of my back between the
vertebrae and into the spinal ca-nal. This was to anesthetize the lower portion of my
body. First of all, it hurt like hell; secondly, I didn't get anesthesia; and thirdly, I had to be poked repeatedly until the needle was in its proper position in the spinal canal.
Then I went "dead" from the waist down and could finally relax a bit because there
was no longer any pain. My mind wandere d briefly for a few moments and I
wondered how hemorrhoids were cut out before the advent of anesthesia. But the
thought was too horrible for me to imagine at this particular time, so I returned to the
business at hand--worrying.
   A syringe full of something was now being injected slowly into my intravenous
tubing. I asked the doctor what it was. He said it was a drug to allow me to relax and
go to sleep. So I figured I'd like to do that. The anesthetist then said, "As I inject this,
I want you to count to ten." I began counting, anticipating a well deserved rest, with
my head down and my eyes closed. When I got to ten, I lifted my head and said,
"Now what?" "You're supposed to be asleep," the doctor blurted, somewhat puzzled. "Well, I'm not," I responded rather nervously. "I'll give you some more of the drug,"
he said. So he proceeded to inject another dose into my intravenous tubing. As he did
so, he instructed me to count backwards from ten. I quickly thought to myself, "Aha,
this must be the secret. I should have counted backwards the first time!" I put my head
down, closed my eyes and began to count backwards from ten. Ten, nine, eight,
seven--it was so comforting to know that any second I would be asleep--six, five,
four--any second now--three, two, one. Within a few seconds, I raised

HOSPITAL POLLUTED DEADLY WATERS
The “Black Death” that spread throughout Europe in the 1300s killed one-third of
the entire population. This plague was caused by polluted water. Even today in
many parts of Europe, the water is unfit to drink. People use bottled water for
drinking purposes. Experienced world travelers drink purified bottled water.
the most abundant and widely distributed substances
on the surface of the earth. It occurs naturally in solid,
liquid and gaseous states, generally known as ice, snow,
water and steam vapor. Water, composed of hydr ogen
and oxygen, is contained in var ying amounts in all
natural foods. It’ s an indispensable solvent needed
in all physiological functions in ever y form of life.
The body requires water that is 100% pure hydrogen
and oxygen, free of toxins and inorganic minerals. This
water comes fr om thr ee sour ces: first, from fresh,
organically-grown vegetables and fruits and their juices,
which Mother Nature purifies; second, from water
distilled and purified by steam; third, from rain water
that comes down distilled thr ough unpolluted, clean air.
The power of pure water is the vital chemistry of life!
11 “Water! W ater! Ever ywhere –
But Not a Safe Drop to Drink!”
Yes, with all the billions of gallons of fr esh, sweet
water there is on earth, only a fraction of it is fit to drink.
A chemical compound known as H2O, water is one of
All is born of water, all is sustained by pure water – Goethe
Most Americans’ bodies thirst for pure distilled water! Their bodies
become sick, prematurely aged, crippled and stiff due to inorganic
minerals and chemicalized water and lack of sufficient pure water!
– Paul C. Bragg, N.D., Ph.D., Pioneer World Health Crusader Sad fact – m uch of the world’ s water today is polluted.
It is difficult to find sour ces of water from rivers, ponds,
lakes, streams and even wells and springs which are not
polluted or which do not contain traces of toxic industrial
chemicals t o some degree. Therefore, a great deal of
toxic chlorine  is added  to make this water fit to drink.
But is it really “fit to drink”? W ater processing plants
use chemical chlorine to destroy the bacteria in polluted
water. Alum and many other inorganic chemicals ar e
also used to cleanse polluted water of dirt and filth. See
page 124 for some facts about deadly chlorinated water.
In addition to these inorganic chemicals, a dangerous
and misunderstood inorganic substance has been added
to drinking water – sodium fluoride. It’ s the worst
chemical ever added knowingly to our drinking water;
a terrible crime against public health! Please reread inside
front cover for startling facts about fluoridation.
12 Inorganic V ersus Organic Materials
Now, let us give you a shor t lesson in chemistr y. There
are two kinds of chemicals, inorganic and organic.
The inorganic chemicals like
chlorine, alum and sodium fluoride
cannot be utilized in a healthy way
by the living tissues of the body and
can only cause harm!
Our body chemistr y is composed of
19 organic minerals, which must come from a living sour ce
or one that was once alive. When we eat an apple or any
other fruit or vegetable, that substance is composed of
living organic minerals. It has a certain length of life
after being gathered from the earth, vine or tree. The
same goes for animal foods, fish, milk, cheese and eggs.
To preserve health is a moral and religious duty, for health is the basis
for all social virtues. We can no longer be as useful when not well.
– Dr. Samuel Johnson, Father of Dictionaries
Health in a human being is the perfection of bodily
organization, intellectual energy and moral power.
– T.L. Nichols, M.D. Organic minerals are vitally
important in keeping us alive and
healthy! If we were cast away on a
barren, uninhabited island where
nothing was growing, we would
slowly star ve to death. Even though
the soil beneath our feet contains
16 inorganic minerals, our bodies cannot absorb them
efficiently enough to sustain life. Only a living plant’ s
roots has the power to extract inorganic minerals from
the earth and to transform them into useful organic
foods to nourish our miracle working bodies.
When my father was on an expedition to China
many years ago, one part of the countr y was suffering
from drought and famine. W ith his own eyes he saw
poor, star ving people heating and eating earth because
of the lack of food! They died horrible deaths from
starvation, because they could not get the needed
nourishment from the inorganic minerals in the dirt.
For years we’ve heard people say that certain waters
were “rich in all the minerals.” What kind of minerals
are they talking about? Inorganic or organic?
Humans do not have the same chemistry as plants.
Only living plants can convert an inorganic mineral into
an organic mineral. As you read here, you will learn what
harm inorganic minerals can do to your body and brain.
Because of dietar y deficiencies, some children and
young animals tr y eating dirt. They can become deathly
ill, not from the germs in the dirt, but from the inorganic
minerals which can cause sickness and even death!
13
Premature old age is a highly toxic condition caused by
nutritional and water deficiencies and living an unhealthy lifestyle.
DRINK, DRINK, DRINK. You can easily sweat away more than a quart of water
during an hour of strenuous exercise. Sweat rates of nearly a gallon an hour
have been reported in some athletes. For optimal hydration during strenuous
endurance exercise, drink at least 16 to 20 ounces of fluid 2 hours before
exercising and another 8 ounces 15 to 30 minutes before. While exercising,
sip 4 to 6 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards, drink enough to
replace the fluid you’ve sweated off; drink one pint for each pound lost. Cows Refused Inorganic Minerals
During my father’ s boyhood on a V irginia farm, his
family raised dair y cattle. Salesmen would come to the
farm to sell various kinds of feed. Dad remembers when
his father pur chased cattle food labeled “The Mighty
Mineral Cattle Food”. It was supposed to have lots of
calcium, magnesium and other important minerals to
help build strong cows that would produce extra milk.
However, all of the minerals in this “mighty” cattle food
were derived from powdered limestone and other
inorganic sour ces:  calcium carbonate and magnesium
carbonate, etc. When this inorganic mineral formula was
mixed with organic food, the cattle absolutely refused
to eat the feed. Their innate dietar y instincts pr evented
them from eating powdered limestone. All local farmers
had the same experience. This worthless, inorganic
mineral feed was taken of f the market. see www.mad-cow.org
14 Beware of Dangerous Inorganic Minerals
And T oxins in Our Drinking W ater
As previously noted, chlorine, alum and other
inorganic minerals such as calcium carbonate,
magnesium carbonate and potassium carbonate are used
to “purify” our drinking water.  Keep in mind the human
body needs hydrogen and oxygen as a natural solvent
in its inter nal chemistr y. Therefore our bodies need a
constant supply of clean water. Where to get it? Even
untreated, so-called “pure” water from springs, wells,
etc. often contains some traces of inorganic minerals
and toxic pollutants fr om industr y, farms, fertilizers, etc.
This is the irony of Mother Nature: that this fluid –
without which man can barely exist more than 72 hours
before lapsing into a semi-comatose state – contains in
most of its forms the exact inorganic chemicals which
bring about the ultimate premature ageing of man and
animals. Major aluminum companies want to pollute
all our water with sodium fluoride, their deadly waste
product they produce through aluminum processing.
Kids exposed to high levels of fluoride have lower IQs. – Fluoride Magazine Fluorine is a Deadly Poison
Millions upon millions of innocent people have been
brainwashed by the aluminum companies to erroneously
believe that adding sodium fluoride to our drinking water
will reduce tooth decay in our children. Over 150 million
Americans drink a daily dose of sodium fluoride in their
water without knowing of it!
Fluorine, the gangster of
the chemical under world,
made the deadly atomic
bomb possible. The only
scientific way to free the
necessar y quantities of
fissionable Uranium 235,
buried in the inert mass of
its parent U-238, is to for ce uranium hexafluoride gas
through many acres of porous barriers. The next part of
the process gradually concentrates the elements, creating
deadly “Hex”, a deadly vicious hazard from radiation.

 plus a careful diet with very low and measured amounts of sugar and starch for the
remainder of the persons inevitably shortened and far less pleasant life. However, sometimes diabetes can be controlled with diet
alone, though medical doctors have not had  nearly as much success with this approach as talented naturopaths. Sometimes, long
fasting can regenerate a pancreas. It is far better to avoid creating this disease!
    The dietary management of hypoglycemia requires that not only refined but also unref ined sugars and starches with a high
glycemic index be removed from the diet. (The glycemic index measures the ease with which the starch is converted into glucos e
in the body, and estimates the amount of insulin needed to balance it out.) This means no su gar, no honey, no white flour, no
whole grains sweetened with honey, no sweet fruits such as watermelons, bananas, raisins, dates or figs. Potatoes are too rea dily
converted into sugar. Jerusalem artichokes are a good substitute.
    People with hypoglyce mia can often control their symptoms with frequent small meals containing vegetable protein every two
hours. When a non -sweet fruit is eaten such as an apple, it should be eaten with some almonds or other nut or seed that slows the
absorption of fruit suga r. Hypoglycemics can improve their condition with vitamins and food supplements. See the next chapter.
    Allergies to foods and environmental irritants are frequently triggered by low blood sugar. Mental conditions are also trigge red
by low blood sugar levels, frequently contributing to or causing a cycle of acting out behavior accompanied by destruction of
property and interpersonal violence, as well as psychosis and bouts of depression. It is not possible to easily deal with the  resulting
behavior problems unless the hypoglycemia is controlled. Unfortunately most institutions such as mental hospitals and  jails serve
large amounts of sugar and starch and usually caffeinated beverages, with a high availability of soda pop, candy, and cigaret tes at
concessions. If the diet were drastically improved, the drugs given to control behavior in mental hospitals wou ld be much more
effective at a lower dose, or unnecessary.
    The insulin -cycle overworked pancreas may eventually not be able to secrete enough enzymes to allow for the efficient
digestion of foods high in protein. As stated earlier, poor protein digesti on leads to a highly toxic condition from putrefied protein
in the intestines. This condition is alleviated by eliminating animal proteins from the diet and taking digestive aids such a s
pancreatin pills with meals to assist in the digestion of vegetable p roteins.

Food Combining And "Healthfood Junkfood."
    This brings us to a topic I call healthfood junkfood. Many people improve their diet, eliminating meat and chemicalized food in
favor of whole grains and organically grown foods, but they then procee d to make these otherwise good foods into virtual
junkfood by preparing them incorrectly. In my travels, I've noticed this same thing happens everywhere on Earth. What should be
health -producing dietaries are ruined by frying, salting and sugaring.
    Healthfood junkfoods include organically grown potato chips deep fried in cold pressed organic unsaturated canola oil (made
rancid by frying) sprinkled with natural sea salt; organically grown oat and nut granola roasted with cold -pressed unsaturated oil
(made rancid by roasting) hideously sweetened with honey; carrot cake made with rancid whole wheat flour, cold pressed
unsaturated oil (made rancid by baking), honey, and cream cheese (salted); whole wheat cookies (stale, rancid flour) sweetene d
with honey, m ade with vegetable oil baked at high heat (rancid); whole wheat pizza vegetarian style with lots of soy cheese; whole
wheat pizza vegan style with lots of real raw milk cheese; organically grown corn chips deep fried in cold pressed vegetable oil
with or w ithout natural sea salt, yogurts made from powdered milk without an active culture of beneficial bacteria and covered
with highly sugared fruits, etc. These foods may well represent an improvement over the average American diet, but they still  are
not heal thy foods, and should never be used in a diet for a sick person. Nor are they worthy of a person attempting to maximize
health.
    The problem with healthfood junkfoods is not their major ingredients, but how they were combined and processed and
adultera ted. Remember, fats, animal or vegetable, subjected to high heat become indigestible and toxic and make anything they're
cooked with indigestible; salt is a toxic drug; cheese, hard enough to digest as it is, when raised to high temperatures as i t is when
making pizza, becomes virtually indigestible and cheese inevitably contains a lot of butterfat which, though saturated animal  fat,
when raised to high temperatures, still becomes slightly rancid. And all these foods represent indigestible combinations.
    My clients almost never believe me when I first explain the idea of food combining. They think if it goes in one end, comes o ut
the other, and they don't feel any unpleasant symptoms in between, then it was digested. But bad food combinations have a
cumul ative degenerative effect over a long period of time. When the symptoms arrive the victim never associates the food
combination with the symptom because it seems to them that they've always been eating the food.
    Mainstream nutritionists have brainwashe d the public into thinking that we should have a representative serving from each of
the "four basic food groups" at each and every meal, plus a beverage and a desert. Or, as my husband Steve is fond of quippin g, a
"balanced meal" has four colors on every plate: something red, something green, something white and something yellow. But the
balanced meal is a gastronomic catastrophe that can only be processed by the very young with high digestive vitality, the
exceptionally vital of any age, people with cast iron stomachs which usually refers to their good heredity, and those who are very
physically active.
    Few seem to realize that each type of food requires specific and different digestive enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and
intestine. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins –each requires differing acid or alkaline environments in order to be digested. Proteins
require an acid environment. Starch digestion requires an alkaline environment. When foods in complex combinations are
presented to the stomach all together,  like a meal with meat, potatoes, gravy, vegetables, bread, butter, a glass of milk, plus a
starchy sweet desert, followed by coffee or tea, the stomach, pancreas, liver and small intestine are overwhelmed, resulting in the
fermentation of the sugars and s tarches, and the putrefaction of the proteins, and poor digestion of the whole. It is little wonder that
most people feel so tired after a large meal and need several cups of strong coffee to be able to even get up from the table.  They
have just presented their digestive tract with an immensely difficult and for some an impossible task.
    For the most efficient digestion, the body should be presented with one simple food at a time, the one bowl concept, easily
achieved by adherence to the old saying, "on e food at a meal is the ideal." An example of this approach would be eating fruits for
breakfast, a plain cereal grain for lunch, and vegetables for supper. If you can't eat quite that simply, then proper food co mbining
rules should be followed to minimize  digestive difficulty, maximize the adsorption of nutrients from your food, and reduce or
eliminate the formation of toxemia, and of course foul gas.
    In general, fruit should be eaten alone unless you happen to be hypoglycemic or diabetic in which cas e fruit should be eaten
with small quantities of a vegetable protein such as nuts, or yogurt and/or cheese if able to digest dairy. Starches should b e eaten
with vegetables, which means that a well combined meal would include a grain such as rice, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa,
corn, wheat, rye, oats, spelt, potatoes, or starchy winter squash combined with raw or cooked vegetables. Protein foods such as
meat, eggs, beans, lentils, tofu, split peas, should be combined with vegetables, raw or cooked. Bu t protein should never be
combined with starches. The most popular North American snacks and meals always have a starch/protein combination, for
example: meat and potatoes, hamburger in a bun, hot dog with bun, burrito with meat or cheese, meat sandwiches,  etc. It is little
wonder that intestinal gas is accepted as normal, and that over time these hard to digest combinations eventually cause healt h
problems that demand attention.
    Another sure fire way to ruin any food, including the very best available is to eat in the presence of negative emotions generated
by yourself or others. Negative emotions include fear, anger, frustration, envy, resentment, etc. The digestive tract is imme diately
responsive to stress and or negative thoughts. It becomes paralyze d in negative emotional states; any foods eaten are poorly
digested, causing toxemia.
    It is natural for a person who has lost a loved one or suffered a great loss of any kind to lose their appetite for a period of time.
This reaction is pro -survival, because while grieving, the body is griped by powerful negative emotions. There are


way that all experience takes place in the space of awareness, the only
medium within which it is possible for any experience to occur.
     Notice that we are not speculating about an altered, expanded, mystical
or enlightened state of awareness. Above all, we are not speculating about
how awareness might become if we practise hard enough or meditate long
enough; we are simply referring to our current, intimate, direct and ordinary
experience of being aware.
     Now see if you can find an edge or limit to the field of awareness within
which your experience arises. We find a limit to everything that we know or
perceive, but do we find a limit to the field in which that limited experience
arises? And if we do not find any such edge or limit, what legitimacy is there
to our belief that it is limited?
66the open, empty, aware space
     It is true that awareness permeates the experience of the body, and this
gives rise to the feeling that awareness is located in the body. However, the
room in which you are currently sitting is filled with space, but the space is
not located in, nor limited to, the room. It is the room that appears in space,
not space in the room. Likewise, the awareness which permeates the body
and which, as such, gives rise to the feeling ‘I am the body’ is not generated
by, located within or limited to the body. Your body is an appearance in
awareness; awareness doesn’t appear in your body.
     In fact, awareness is not a vast, empty space. Having no form, it cannot
be measured and, therefore, cannot legitimately be said to have an extension
in any dimension. However, it is not possible to think of or imagine some -
thing with no dimensions; indeed, something with no dimensions is not
‘something’. So as a concession to the mind, to enable it to think about or
imagine awareness, we add a space-like quality, visualising it as a vast, empty
field or space within which the entire content of experience appears. All that
is required now is to remove space from this image of an aware physical space
and what remains is dimensionless awareness.

I vividly remember the first time this became clear to me. Francis had often
spoken of awareness as the space within which all experience arises, and
although I had an intuitive understanding of this, I had never realised it in
my own experience.
     One morning, I was sitting with Francis and a small group of friends in
his and his wife Laura’s home in Northern California, when a dog began bark -
ing in the distance. I commented to him that it seemed obvious that the sound
of the dog was taking place at a distance from, and outside of, myself. Francis
suggested that I close my eyes and place my hands on the floor. I closed my
eyes and slowly lowered my hands until they were resting on the carpet.
     He then asked where the sensation was taking place. Was it taking place
within awareness or outside awareness? I paused, referred to my experience,
and realised that the sensation generated by my hands on the floor was taking
place in exactly the same space of awareness in which my thoughts and feel -
ings were occurring.
     Before I had time to digest this insight fully, my understanding began to
unravel, one recognition leading to another. I turned my attention again to
the barking dog and realised that, if I referred only to my direct, immediate
67you are the happiness you seek
experience, without reference to thought or memory, it too was taking place
within the space of awareness and at no distance from it.
     It became clear that thought conceptualised ‘the sound of a dog in the
distance’ but all I actually knew of this sound was the experience of hearing,
and hearing was taking place here, within myself, that is, within awareness.
There was no distance between myself, awareness, and the experience of
hearing.

I had barely begun to ponder the implications of this observation when the
thought arose, ‘If awareness accommodates my entire experience, including
the experience of the body and the world, what is the nature  of the space of
awareness within which these experiences are arising?’
     A line from Milton’s Paradise Lost  came to mind, ‘Thine this universal
frame, thus wondrous fair: Thyself how wondrous then!’ * The focus of my
interest shifted from the sensation of my hands on the floor and the sound
of the barking dog to the space of awareness itself. Awareness was turning
its attention upon itself.
     Until then I had believed and felt that awareness was located somewhere
behind my eyes, looking out at the world, but now I was experiencing the
body and the world within myself. It was obvious that awareness perceived
the world  through  the body, but I had mistakenly presumed that this implied
that it was located in and limited to the body.
     The awareness with which the character in a dream perceives the world
is not located in her body or, indeed, anywhere in the world which she per -
ceives. It is, within the limits of the analogy, located in the dreamer’s mind.
Could the same be true of our experience in the waking state?
     I looked for a limit or an edge to the field of awareness within which my
current experience was appearing, just as I used to lie awake in bed as a child
wondering how far physical space extended. However, the further I went,
the more the edge or limit of awareness eluded me.
     Like a scientist performing experiments to test the validity of a theory,
I wanted to subject the possibility that awareness might be unlimited to the
scrutiny of experience. Could I find or even imagine an experience that could
take place outside of awareness?
68* John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book v (1674 ).the open, empty, aware space
     Having said that, when I say, ‘I looked for a limit or an edge’, I do not
mean to imply that I am one thing and awareness another. It was I, awareness,
that was contemplating my experience of myself. In this way it became clear
that in awareness’s experience of itself there is no limit or edge.

all-encompassing awareness

As I, awareness, sank more and more deeply into my being, I felt that I was
disentangling myself from thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and percep -
tions. As I did so, I felt myself expanding. I was no longer located in the head
or chest. I was the vast, open, aware space in which everything was appearing.
     It was both frightening and exhilarating: frightening because my habitual
experience of being a finite self, located in and limited to the body, was
rapidly dissolving; and exhilarating because I could not help but notice,
in spite of the fear, the freedom and joy that accompanied this recognition.
     It would be some time before I realised that I was not, of course, expan -
ding. The belief that awareness was located within and limited to my head
was simply being exposed and dissolved in the face of the evidence of ex -
perience. I began to feel what I had often read about in the traditional lit -
erature but had never been able to verify for myself: namely, that awareness
extends beyond the limits of the body and the finite mind within which it
seems to be housed, and encompasses the entire universe.
     Just as my mind began to assimilate this understanding, it was followed
by another. If physical space were emptied of all objects, we would have no
experience of distance. Likewise, it is only in reference to the content of ex -
perience that awareness is considered a vast space. In our actual experience,
that is, in awareness’s experience of itself, there is no thought or perception
and, therefore, no experience of time or space.
     We all experience this vividly in deep sleep, when there is no activity of
thinking and perceiving and, therefore, no corresponding experience of time
and space.
     With this understanding, the mind’s attempt to conceptualise awareness
comes naturally and effortlessly to an end. As a concession to the mind, it is
legitimate to conceptualise awareness as an open, empty space, but in the
absence of any need to do so, the mind falls silent and there is just the aware -
ness of being, whose nature is unfathomable peace.

the inherently peaceful nature of awareness

Just as the physical space of a room cannot be agitated by anything that takes
place within it, so we, awareness, cannot be disturbed by anything that takes
place within us. Agitated thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and percep -
tions may arise, but the space-like presence of awareness within which they
appear is itself not disturbed by them. Thus, its nature is peace.
     And just as the space of a room is not made  peaceful by modifying the
behaviour of the people inside it, but is inherently at peace before, during
and after their various activities, so our essential nature of pure awareness is
always at peace, irrespective of the content of experience. It does not need
to be purified, improved or stilled.
     Whatever the content of experience that arises within it, awareness always
remains the same: open, empty, allowing, undisturbed and without

as 'cardio'.   Cardio exercise involves strengthening
the large
 muscles like
legs and arms and making your heart
and lungs
 stronger.  There are
many health benefits derived
from cardio
, such as lowering your blood
pressure, plus burning lots
of calories
. This is good for people like me who
want to lose
weight and
 build muscle at the same time.

Aerobic
means
 “
requiring air," where "air" usually
means oxygen
.  During
cardiovascular or aerobic exercise, oxygen
gets delivered
 to the muscles.
In order to give the heart an
adequate workout
, there needs to be a certain
amount of intensity in
your cardio
. It is important to pay attention to your
heart rate
during the
 exercise to ensure you do not over-do it. Most
treadmills
and bikes
 at fitness centers utilize heart rate monitoring.

You can measure your heart rate manually by taking a pulse
count
with
 your fingers or by using a heart rate monitor.
 In
measuring the
heart rate, you are checking the heart beats per minute.
A resting
 heart
rate is the rate your heart beats per minute
while you
 are resting. Themaximum heart rate is the maximum
amount of
 times your heart beats in a
minute. You should always
work within
 your 'target heart rate zone' which
is a range of heart
rate that
 is considered to be the best rate to assure
your heart
is getting
 a good workout.
The target range should be
between 50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.

You can have a doctor determine your maximum heart rate or use
the
following formula
 to calculate a rough estimate.

For women:  226 minus your age equals your maximum heart rate

For men:  220 minus your age equals your maximum heart rate

For example, if you are a 32 year old woman: subtract 32 from 226226 -
32 = 194

Then take that number and multiply it by.5, to get your lower end of your
target zone. Finally, multiply that same number by.85 to get the upper end
of your zone. For example:

194 x.5 = 97

and

194 x.85 = 164.9

So, for a 32 year old woman an estimate of her maximum heart rate is 194.
And her 'target heart rate zone' is between 97 and 164.9 heart-beats per
minute.

Co-ordination and Balance E
xercises

Balance and coordination skills are necessary for everyday tasks. Good
balancing skills require control of many muscles to carry out activities
without falling over. Coordination skills include eye-hand coordination,
bilateral coordination and smooth, controlled movements of the body.

Ball exercises are grouped based on the main muscle group they mainly
target and clicking on each will bring you to a page where you can review
detailed instructions and animated illustrations.
 Fasting is beneficial for these conditions:
Although fasting is not
recommended in every situation, (cancer of the liver is one instance where
fasting is contraindicated), in many situations fasting is the only known
solution. Fasting has been beneficial for arthritis, asthma, high bloodpressure, lupus, chronic fatigue, colitis, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis,
spastic colon, irritable bowel, cases of paralysis, neuritis, neuralgia,
neuroses, and mental illness such depression, as well as many others.
Fasting will also break down tumors and for this reason, many have
overcome cancer through fasting.
 Fasting decreases dependency on doctors and drugs.

“Ask your doctor if this drug is right
for you” is the most common phrase in prime time commercials. Nasalrite
may help you breathe better but it could thin your blood so don’t cut
yourself, and it could cause a stroke or depression, it could cause
dizziness or impair your sight, ask your doctor if Nasalrite is right for you.
Once you start taking a drug of any kind for any ailment, you become a lab
rat for a drug company. One drug masks one problem and causes several
more, requiring yet more drugs. Before my mother-in-law passed away,
the doctors had her on 10 to 15 prescription drugs. For each drug they
prescribed there seemed to be one or two more
ailments
 surfaced
requiring even more drugs. We just assume that medical science is going
to fix every little ailment that comes along, by giving us a pill, a treatment or
a surgery. We are so alienated from our bodies that we think that a doctor
knows more about
 us
 than we
do.

The reality is that
doctors
 don’t have the cures that we need.
What
traditional medicine offers is only the possibility to treat
our symptoms
, but
not actually curing us or even rooting out
the cause
. When we take these
kinds of treatments to suppress
our symptoms
 rather than cause, which is
the underlying reason
we are
 sick, then in fact the illness continues to
grow.
We will
never be
 healthy until we take re
sponsibility for our own health
.
We
need
 to stop blaming someone else for making us sick, whether
it is
 a
corporation, a person, our immediate environment or
a government
. We
must recognize instead that our sickness is
a symptom
 telling us
something in
side needs to be addressed. For
 sure there are outside
influences that we can’t control, but there  is much that we can control by
taking responsibility for ourselves  and working to change our habits. Drink
more water and fast.

 establishing
 balance
when given the possibility to do so.
Normal metabolic
 and cell oxygenation
are restored. Detoxification –
as soon
 as the body realizes that it's fasting,
it will begin to
eliminate those
 things that cause disease, such as fat cells,
arterial cholesterol
 plaques, mucus, tumors, stored up worries
and
emotions
.

Maximize your health and increase your lifespan – hydrate daily with
plenty of distilled water, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, fast
regularly and exercise daily. Share this newly found knowledge with others
and may God richly bless you and yours... Douglas C. Hoover

When a piece of wood it; immersed for
a period in certain mineral waters, the
wood cells thru a chemical action similar
to that observed in electro-plating, are
replaced by molecules of minerals, and
petrifaction ensues. In petrified wood,
the form and markings of the original
are distinctly seen. At rare intervals sur
geons find a human kidney that has
actually become petrified-a stone kidney

tions veins are found which are brittle,
and which crumble at the touch. In old

My Daughter was very anemic.
My husband and I then decided to give her urine each month.
We did the procedure for her each month and the pediatric Doctor was very

So on every month I do the procedure to her and she no longer has infections.
During the infection in an entire year she only gained 1 kg.
Taking the urine in the following 4 months she gained 3,800 kg.
