ons are quite different in design from the smooth
colons of carnivorous animals.
Intestinal Length:  Our intestinal tracts measure roughly 12 times the length of our tor -
sos (about 30 feet).  This allows for the slow absorption of sugars and other water-borne
nutrients from fruit. I
n contrast, the digestive tract of a carnivore is only 3 times the
length of its torso.  This is necessary to avoid rotting or decomposition of flesh inside the animal.  The carnivore depends upon highly acidic secretions to facilitate rapid digestion and absorption in its very short tube.  Still, the putrefaction of proteins and the rancidity of fats is evident in their feces.
40
FruiticultureMammary Glands:  The multiple teats on the abdomens of carnivores do not coincide
with the pair of mammary glands on the chest of humans.
Sleep:  Humans spend roughly two thirds of every 24-hour cycle actively awake.
Carnivores typically sleep and rest from 18 to 20 hours per day and sometimes more.
Microbial Tolerance:  Most carnivores can digest microbes that would be deadly for hu -
mans, such as those that cause botulism.Perspiration :  Humans sw
eat from pores on their entire body.  Carnivores sweat from
the tongues only.Vision:  Our sense of vision responds to the full spectrum of color, making it possible to
distinguish ripe from unripe fruit at a distance.  Meat eaters do not typically see in full color.
Meal Size:  Fruit is in scale to our food requirements.  It fits our hands.  A few pieces of
fruit is enough to make a meal, leaving no waste.  Carnivores typically eat the entire ani -
mal when they kill it.
Drinking:  Should w e need t
o drink water, we can suck it with our lips, but we cannot
lap it up. Carnivores’ tongues protrude outward so they can lap water when they need to
drink.
Placenta:  We have a discoid-style placenta, whereas the carnivores have zonary
placentas.
Vitamin C:  Carnivores manufacture their own vitamin C.  For us, vitamin C is an essential
nutrient that we must get from our food.
Jaw Movement:  Our ability to grind our food is unique to plant eaters.  Meat eaters
have no lateral movement in their jaws.
Dental Formula:  Mammalogists use a system called the “dental formula” to describe the
arrangement of teeth in each quadrant of the jaws of an animal’s mouth.  This refers to the number of incisors, canines, and molars in each of the four quadrants.  Starting from the center and moving outward, our formula, and that of most anthropoids, is 2/1/5.  The dental formula for carnivores is 3/1/5-to-8.41
FruiticultureTeeth:  The molars of a carnivore are pointed and sharp.  Ours are primarily flat, for
mashing food. Our “canine” teeth bear no resemblance to true fangs.  Nor do we have a mouth full of them, as a true carnivore does.  I am reminded of one of Abraham Lincoln’s favorite retorts: “If you counted a sheep’s tail as a leg, how many legs would it have?”  Invariably, people would answer, “five. ” To which Lincoln would respond: “Only four.  Counting the tail as a leg doesn’t make it one. ”
Tolerance of Fat:  We do not handle more than small quantities of fat well.  Meat eaters
thrive on a high-fat diet.
Saliva and Urine pH:  All of the plant-eating creatures (including healthy humans) main -
tain alkaline saliva and urine most of the time. The saliva and urine of the meat-eating
animals, howev er
, is acidic.
Diet pH:  Carnivores thrive on a diet of acid-forming foods, whereas such a diet is deadly to humans, setting the stage for a wide variety of disease states.  Our preferred foods are all alkaline-forming.
Stomach Acid pH:  The pH level of the hydrochloric acid that humans produce in their
stomachs generally ranges about 3 to 4 or higher but can go as low as 2.0. (0 = most acidic, 7 = neutral, 14 = most alka
 line).  The stomach acid of cats and other mea
t eaters
can be in the 1+ range and usually runs in the 2s.  Because the pH scale is logarithmic, this means the stomach acid of a carnivore is at least 10 times stronger than that of a
human and can be 100 or even 1,000 times stronger.
Uric ase:  T rue car
nivores secrete an enzyme called uricase to metabolize the uric acid in
flesh.  We secrete none and so must neutralize this strong acid with our alkaline miner -
als, primarily calcium.  The resulting calcium urate crystals are one of the many patho -
gens of meat eating, in this case giving rise to or contributing to gout, arthritis, rheuma -
tism, and bursitis.Digestive Enzymes :  O
ur digestive enzymes are geared to make for easy fruit digestion.
We produce ptyalin—also known as salivary amylase—to initiate the digestion of fruit.
Meat-eating animals do not produce any ptyalin and have completely different digestive enzyme ratios.
Sugar Metabolism:  The glucose and fructose in fruits fuel our cells without straining 42
Fruiticultureour pancreas (unless we eat a high-fat diet). Meat eaters do not handle sugars well. They
are prone to diabetes if they eat a diet that is predominated by fruit.
Intestinal Flora:  Humans have different bacterial colonies (flora) living in their intes -
tines than those found in carnivorous animals.  The ones that are similar, such as lactoba-
cillus and E. coli are found in different ratios in the plant eaters’ intestines as compared to those of the carnivor es
.
Liver Size:  Carnivores have proportionately larger livers in comparison to their body size than humans.
Cleanliness:  We are the most particular of all creatures about the cleanliness of our
food.  Carnivores are the least picky, and will eat dirt, bugs, organic debris, and other items along with their food.
Natural Appetite:  Our mouths water at the sights and smells of the produce market.
These are living foods, the source of our sustenance.  But the smell of animals usually puts us off.  Meat eaters’ mouths water at the sight of prey, and they react to the smell of animals as though they sense food.

FruiticultureHow to Determine Our Natural Biological Diet
by Dr. T. C. Fry
Exogenous and Aesthetic Requirements of Our Natural Vibrant Foods
This concerns the properties foods must have to meet the human biological disposition.
Needless to say, within the bounds of our concept, our natural foods self-evidently exist -
ed in nature sufficiently to supply the needs of the populace of the time.  They had to be available in plenitude, otherwise adapta
tions would not have occurred that we can eas -
ily determine.  In plenitude of its natural foods, a species thrives and increases in num -
bers.  In times of scarcity a species suffers famine and, sometimes, starvation within the area affect ed
.  Humans normally have reserves sufficient to carry them through famines
for 50 to 60 days.  Almost all species have adaptations that enable them to survive depri -
vation for periods of time.
Aesthetic Requirements of O ur Na
tural Foods
To have been a natural food for humans, their needs must have been met for a period
sufficiently long to have occasioned the development of equipment and faculties that appreciated it, and that surely and efficiently apprehended, acquired, consumed, digest -
ed, absorbed and utilized it.
Our natural f oods
, therefore, must arouse
our attention and desires as they exist or existed in nature.  To attract our attention as foods, our natural foods must be beautiful to the human eye.  Our sense of beauty re -
volves around that which is consonant with our well-being.  T his is called our aesthetic

disposition.  This sense developed and be -
came fixed by experience interacting with and modified by that which yielded value,

that which was endowed with the qualities that repeatedly gratified and supplied our physiological needs.
44
Fruiticulture1.  A natural food must appeal to the
eye.  The first requisite of a natural food is that it must attract the eye in its natural state.  Our eyes are our foremost organs of discovery.  Experience and instinct must fix a recognition of the food as desirable.
2.  A natural food must tantalize the
sense of smell.  To be a natural food it must be redolent, aromatic or fra -
grant enough to arouse desire in those that smell it with their olfactory

senses.
3.  A natural food must be easy to apprehend and acquire with our natural faculties.  The
third requisite of a natural food is ease of discovery and acquisition with our natural fac -
ulties.  With our eyes, sense of smell, physical faculties, especially our legs, feet,


 homeostasis
Apana Vayu— below the navel elimination, mental elimination
downward moving reproduction, and immunity
vital force immunity
These five Pranas are all diversifications of the air ele-
ment, its subtle counterpart (the tanmatra or sensory qual-
ity of touch), and the guna of Rajas. The five Pranas are
common to all the elements, organs, koshas, and functions
of the mind. They serve to energize and to connect our
activities on all levels.
Prana brings about energization. Samana provides
nutrition. Apana is responsible for elimination. Vyana
governs circulation. Udana provides for effort and the
capacity to work. For example, on the physical level, Prana
is responsible for eating food, Samana for digesting it,
Vyana circulates the nutrients to all the tissues, Apana Appendix 1 315
eliminates the waste material from the food, and Udana
allows us to use the energy derived from the food for phys-
ical work.
On the level of the mind, Prana is responsible for the
intake of impressions and ideas, Samana digests them,
Vyana circulates this information, Apana removes the
waste material (negative thoughts and emotions), and
Udana allows us to do positive mental work and exertion.
On a general level, Prana energizes all the koshas,
Samana sustains their relationship, cohesion and balance,
Apana brings energy down the koshas from the subtle to
the gross, Udana brings energy up the koshas from the
gross to the subtle, and Vyana brings about circulation
through all the five koshas and is responsible for their dif-
ferentiation.
Psychological Disorders and the Pranas
Psychological disorders involve imbalances in the
Pranas or energies that govern the mind. First, Prana or
energization is disturbed by taking in wrong impressions,
emotions or thoughts. Second, Samana or digestion gets
unbalanced through wrong intakes and poor discrimina-
tion. Then the other three Pranas become disturbed.
Apana brings about the increase of waste materials in the
mind. Vyana or circulation is impaired, bringing about
stagnation in our deeper consciousness. Udana or our pos-
itive will is weakened and we are unable to make the
efforts to change or improve our condition.
Prana Vayu is our ability to absorb positive impressions
and thoughts, as well as the capacity of the life-force to
control our equilibrium. Disturbed, it prevents us from
bringing in positive impressions and sets our entire equi-
librium off balance. This guiding Prana is connected with Ayurveda and the Mind
Agni or the fire principle and together with it vitalizes the
mind and senses.
Apana Vayu is our ability to ward off negativity, the
force of gravity in the mind. When its function is
deranged, we get depressed or take in the energies of stag-
nation and decay. Various disturbed downward flows of the
life-energy can occur.
Samana Vayu, the equalizing life-energy, is weakened
when mental peace and harmony are disturbed. Physically,
this deranges the digestive system and weakens absorp-
tion, allowing for the build-up of toxins. This causes psy-
chological congestion and attachment, along with the
inability to be alone. Severe psychological problems may
cause significant Samana Vayu disorders, with derange-
ment of the nervous system and long-term mental imbal-
ance.
Vyana Vayu is the expansive part of the life-energy,
responsible for outward-directed movement and activity.
It makes us happy, independent and expansive. Disturbed,
it causes tremors in the body or agitation in the mind. In
the mind, it causes alienation and isolation and prevents us
from getting along with other people.
Udana Vayu is our ascending enthusiasm, will and
motivation. It makes us feel elated, proud or exalted. It
gets weakened by depression. When we are depressed, our
energy is unable to move upwards and sinks. Inability to
speak or express ourselves indicates that Udana Vayu is
weak. Various disturbed upward flows of the life-force can
occur, like coughing or uncontrolled speech when this
Prana is deranged. In excess, it makes us vain, domineer-
ing and intolerant.
These five Pranas are one of the most profound aspects
of Ayurvedic thought. We are only introducing them here, Appendix 1 317
but their role should not be underestimated. They require
a book on them alone.

1 This is called Yoga-chikitsa in Sanskrit. Yoga as spiritual prac-
tice is called Yoga-sadhana.
2 Similarly, classical yogic texts employ Ayurvedic terminology to
describe the physiological effects of yogic practices.
3 Ayurveda like Yoga is based upon the Sankhya philosophy
which derives from the Upanishads.
4 This follows the attributions of the elements and the sensory
capacities that we note later in the book.

TANTRIC YOGA AND THE WISDOM GODDFSSES: Spiri-
tual Secrets of Ayurveda, pages 193-226. It includes the signs
and conditions of high, low or sufficient Prana, Tejas and Ojas.
It has a section on how to develop them and how to keep them
in balance.
6 For a more traditional but more complex examination of sattvic,
rajasic and tamasic mental types in Ayurveda, note CHARAKA
SAMHITA, SARIRASTHANAIV. 36-40.
7 Psychiatry with its use of chemical drugs can be a Tamasic ther-
apy. It is mainly useful in cases of excess Rajas in which the
patient can cause harm to himself or others. Drugs can be useful
short term in other high Rajasic conditions like acute pain or
severe anxiety, which may require strong sedation. As drugs are
Tamasic in nature, their long term effect is to inhibit Sattva.
They must be used only as a last resort or temporary measure.
8 Psychoanalysis is generally a Rajasic therapy. It takes us from
repressed emotions (Tamas) to self-expression (rajas). However, it
may not lead us to Sattva unless additional therapies are added.
Analysis must lead to practical action. Excess analysis can pre-
vent a person from really changing, just as thinking about a
problem too much can prevent us from dealing with it.
9 Modem psychoanalysis, with its active and communicative
methods, is essentially a Rajasic process. It aims at breaking up
and releasing repressed (Tamasic) emotional patterns. Analysis
helps bring the mind from a Tamasic (repressed) to a Rajasic 320 Ayurveda and the Mind
(thoughtful, active and motivated) state.

 fillers and binders in tablets and capsules will
aggravate and irritate already sensitive GAPS gut lining and interfere with
the healing process. I have seen many patients who put a lot of effort into
implementing the diet, but would not achieve the best results until they
removed most of their supplements.
That is why I normally do not recommend any vitamin or mineral sup
plementation at the beginning of the programme. I recommend putting
most effort into implementing the diet first and starting the healing pro
cess in the gut. Once the digestive system starts working properly in many
patients their nutritional deficiencies disappear without any supplemen
tation! They disappear the natural way through the body sorting it out for
itself.
Of course, aU patients are different and some of them require targeted
supplementation. But that is a matter for a qualified practitioner to decide.
Here are some important points to keep in mind.
• Choose supplements without any ingredients which may aggravate
the gut condition. Supplements in a liquid form are better than in
powder, tablet or capsule. Substances, which are not allowed on the
diet, should also be out.
• Choose supplements with a high absorption rate, for example, vita
min and mineral supplements with added fulvic acid. Fulvic acid (not
to be confused with folic acid) is produced by bacteria in soil. It can
ensure a very high absorption rate for a supplement the natural way. It
also has good chelating properties for heavy metals. Soil bacteria in
your probiotic will provide your gut with this acid.
• Keep supplements to an absolute minimum! DETOXIFICATION FOR
PEOPLE WITH GAP SYNDROME
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
Erma Bombeck
We live in a polluted world. Every day we breath in car fumes and industrial
wastes. We eat foods containing pesticides, herbicides and other agricul
tural chemicals. We drink milk and eat meat from animals which are rou
tinely given antibiotics, steroids and other drugs. We eat a countless
number of various chemicals in processed foods. We use personal care
products full of various chemicals shown to be carcinogenic and generally
toxic for humans. Our modem energy-conserving homes and offices have
become toxic places. Modern building materials, insulation, paints,
domestic cleaning chemicals and fire retardants all outgas toxic sub
stances which we breathe day in and day out. For example, chemical anal
ysis on outgassing of common carpets and carpet adhesives in modern
homes found considerable amounts of toxic substances such as formalde
hyde, toluene, xylene, benzene, methacrylate, tetrachloroethylene, methyl
naphthalene, phthalates and styrene. All these chemicals are known toxins
for a human and we breathe them in large quantities all the time we are at
home. Hospitals and shopping centres have even higher amounts of toxic
substances in the air, that is why many people feel so tired and drained
after a shopping trip or a long visit to a hospital. And as if all that is not
enough, we routinely take prescription drugs, drink alcohol and smoke
tobacco.
So, how do we survive? How do we manage to live our lives, go to work,
have children, without just dropping dead after our first breath of traffic-
jam air in the morning?
We survive thanks to a very important system in our bodies. A system
which until recently we did not know much about - a DETOXIFICATION
SYSTEM.
It is a system, which is like a cleaner in the body. It constantly cleans out
all the toxins, produced as a result of normal body metabolism, and toxins
arriving from the outside. It has got its headquarters in the liver and
departments in every cell of the body. The sophistication and complexity
of this system is staggering to even the most knowledgeable biochemists and there is a lot we still don't know about how it works so efficiently. But
what we do know is that this system, in order to function well, has to have a
constant supply of certain nutrients: zinc, magnesium, selenium, molyb
denum and other minerals and trace elements, hundreds of enzymes,
many amino acids and essential fats - all the substances which our GAPS
children and adults are deficient in. Due to these deficiencies the detoxifi
cation system cannot function at an optimum level in a GAPS person. At
the same time this system is overloaded with work, because GAPS patients
are very toxic people. Imagine a worker, who is being starved of food and
drink, and at the same time is being given more and more work to do. How
is he going to cope? He is going to put most of this work into a backlog,
hoping for easier times when he would be able to attend to it. That is
exactly what the detoxification system does in a GAPS patient - it stores
various toxic substances in different tissues in the body in order to deal
with them later. That is why when these patients are tested for heavy
metals, petrochemicals and other toxins they always test positive.
Unfortunately, a lot of these chemicals have affinity for fats and therefore
get stored in body fats. A human brain and the rest of the nervous system
have a very high proportion of fats in its tissues and become a storage site
for these toxins. A brain clogged with toxicity cannot develop or function
well. We see this very clearly in GAPS patients.
So, what do we do? How do we lift off this toxic load from our GAPS chil
dren's and adult's bodies to allow them to develop and function properly?
The first and most obvious thing to do is to remove the main source of
toxicity, which means cleaning up and healing the gut.
However, removing the major source of toxicity is not enough. What do
we do with all the toxins stored over the years in these patient's bodies?
What do we do with all the heavy metals, which GAPS children and adults
test positive for?
In recent years a new treatment has emerged - chelation of heavy
metals with chelating drugs, mainly DMSA (Dimercapto Succinic Acid)
and Alfa-Lipoic Acid. It is a group of drugs initially used in the army for
treating acute exposure to heavy metals and other toxic substances. It is a
hot topic at the moment within the circles of parent groups of autistic chil
dren. There are a number of practitioners, mainly in the USA, who will
administer these drugs to autistic children and who claim benefits for this
treatment. We hear stories from parents who feel that chelation has helped
their child. However, there are a number of issues here, which a lot of people, including me, do not feel comfortable about. Chelating drugs are
drugs. Like any drug they come with side effects and complications. These
are not benign substances. I have great concerns at the idea of using these
drugs without direct local medical supervision, let alone without regular
blood monitoring. Let's have a look at some known problems.
1. DMSA and other chelating drugs cause dose-related bone marrow
suppression, which manifests as neutropenia and thrombocytopenia,
which can affect blood clotting and blood immune response to infec
tions and other toxins. Patients, who are on a chelation programme
have to have their blood composition monitored on a regular basis. In
some children and adults this reaction is serious enough to discon
tinue chelation.
2. Chelating drugs cause an explosion of pathological fungal and bacte
rial growth in the gut, probably due to the immune system suppres
sion. That is why doctors who practice chelation advise their patients
to deal with their gut dysbiosis first before trying to chelate. Anybody
who has any experience with treating gut dysbiosis knows how diffi
cult it is to deal with it. GAPS patients have gut dysbiosis as their most
basic and primary pathology and with all the experience in treating it
we still cannot say whether you can completely get rid of it.
3. Apart from taking out heavy metals chelating drugs bind essential
minerals as well and take them out of the body. They chelate zinc, for
example, that is why zinc has to be supplemented in very high doses
prior and during chelation. However, doctors who have an experience
with supplementing zinc know that it has a very complex absorption
mechanism, which requires normal stomach acidity. GAPS patients
do not have normal stomach acidity, which impairs absorption of sup
plemented zinc. On top of that we know that GAPS patients are
already deficient in this essential mineral quite severely. Apart from
zinc, chelating drugs chelate other essential minerals, which these
patients are already deficient in, like magnesium, molybdenum and
others. That is why chelation protocols include very heavy supple
mentation with a large number of different nutrients.
4. Patients on chelating drugs show high amounts of enzymes called
transaminases in their blood, which is an indication of liver damage,
specifically damage to hepatocytes (liver cells).
5. Chelating drugs are contraindicated in people with any renal prob
lems because they have a damaging effect on kidneys. Kidney function as well

 to have to let go of expectations of
their children. What’ s it like for an expert musician to have a child
with no musical skill or inclination? Expectations are subtle
pressures on the other person, who will then unconsciously resist.
In parenting, you want to relinquish expectations and personal
favoritisms. If you’re an expert at billiards, can you let go of being
disappointed that your kid is lousy at shooting pool?
Another common issue is over -parenting. Sometimes a parent
confuses loving a grown child with bailing them out of every
dif ficulty. At a certain age, sometimes love means “tough love,”
that is, letting the child find his own way out of the mess he made
so that he has the opportunity to discover his own inner resources.
Question : If I let go of a lot of guilt, wouldn’ t the technique result
in promiscuity?
Answer : On the contrary, promiscuity is based on low self-esteem,
exploitation, and lack of love. The letting go of negativity and
selfishness, concern for others, a heightened pleasure from their
company, and higher self-esteem changes one’ s perspective of
relationships. The capacity for lovingness increases rapidly. Much
of promiscuity is an attempt to overcome unconscious fears and
seek reassurance. These can all be let go of, so that more mature
relationships take their place.
Question : I have been going to sex therapy, which is based on
behavioral retraining. W ould that be compatible?
Answer : There is no incompatibility. Behavioral retraining is an
attempt to replace negative programs with positive ones.Essentially, it is replacing “I can’ t” with “I can.” That is what this
technique of letting go is all about.
Question : W ill the letting go technique cure impotence or
frigidity?
Answer : It is not a cure for anything; it is a self-investigative
technique that rapidly opens up awareness of inner feelings,
thoughts, and beliefs. Both frigidity and impotency are statements
on the behavioral level of “I can’ t,” which in the unconscious
means “I won’ t.” They are both resistances to joy, love,
expression, and aliveness. The most common causes are repressed
guilt, fear, and anger, emotions that spill out through the
autonomic nervous system. Impotence and frigidity are
expressions of conflict. Most people who use the letting go
technique report overall improvements in their sexual life in a
variety of ways, and many have reported recovery from sexual
inhibitions. Likewise, many have also reported the relief from
sexual excessiveness and excessive preoccupation with the subject.
Question : How does the mechanism of surrender relate to the
process of aging?
Answer : It facilitates graceful aging. Getting older brings a big
change in your lifestyle. Often there is a decline in vision, hearing,
and mobility, which means you are increasingly dependent on the
care of others for things that you accomplished previously without
a second thought. Old age can be annoying. Suddenly, you are
incompetent in areas where you once excelled. As you let go of
feeling annoyed, however, you see that the incapacities of old age
serve a purpose. They get you ready to leave the world. If you
were still involved as a “star” in some area of life, you’d resent
leaving the world. Y ou wouldn’ t be very graceful about it. As you
decline, it gives you time to adjust, get used to the fact that you’ll
be leaving, and do any spiritual work that you want to have
completed by the time you leave here.
When you surrender to the process of aging as simply part of
the human condition, you come to peace with it. Y ou become more
loving and appreciative of other people’ s love and care for you.The more loving you become, you see that everybody is trying to
be helpful to you. And it is loving to allow them to be helpful to
you. People think, “Oh, I’m being selfish if I allow somebody to
be helpful to my life.” Actually, it’ s being generous. Generosity is
the willingness to share your life with others. It’ s a gift to people to
allow them to love you.
The Mechanism
Question:  How can surrendering be more constant?
Answer : The secret to using this mechanism more often and more
consistently is, first of all, the wish to do so. That is Step #1. Y ou
have to want to be free of the feeling more than you want to keep
it. Sometimes it is just a matter of remembering, and you can use
some kind of a cue card to remind you.
Another way is to establish a routine. It is very good to start
the day by surrendering your thoughts and feelings about your
expectations, to picture the way you would like it to go, and to let
go of all negative thoughts that would interfere with the day going
in that way. Then, at the end of the day, sit down and surrender
anything that came up during the course of the day that you
overlooked or didn’ t have time to pay attention to. This is called
“cleaning up,” and most people find that they sleep better.
Another way is to keep a notebook where you write down
your successes. Y ou might put down the goal of constant
surrendering and follow it up with what the results were.
Another way is to let go of your resistance to surrendering
and, as you start the day, reaf firm your intention to let go of all
negativity that day. Y ou also reaf firm that you are free not to
surrender. After all, it is totally a matter of choice. Let go of any
feeling of compulsion about it. There isn’ t any “should.”
Question : What do you think is the most frequent cause for our
resistance to surrender?
Answer : W e think that somehow, if we hang on to that feeling, it is
going to get us what we want. If we get stuck in a feeling, it is
useful to look at the question of what we think we haveaccomplished by hanging on to it. W e will almost always find that
we have a fantasy that it will have some ef fect on some other
person and change their behavior or attitudes toward us. If we let
go of that, we become willing to let go of the feeling.
Question : If I surrender all the time, won’ t I just become passive?
Answer : On the contrary, surrendering will clear the decks for
ef fective action. Passivity is often because of inhibition and a
failure to see alternate ways to handle a situation. For instance, a
person will say, “In the conference, he got me so mad I just sat
there and said nothing.” Now it’ s rather clear what the problem is.
The saying nothing was due to the anger and the person’ s picturing
that the only emotional response he could make would be anger.
Since this would be inappropriate in a business situation, he said
nothing. Had the anger been let go, the person could have been
confidently assertive and stated his opinion instead of clamming
up.
Question : In therapy, I learned how to express anger, and I think it
is a very useful thing. Do I have to give it up?
Answer : If you look at anger, you will see that its basis is almost
always fear. W e get angry because we have been threatened. The
threat arouses fear. The fear means we feel that we are unequal to
the situation. Anger biologically is like swelling up to intimidate
our opponent. Anger is coming from weakness rather than
strength. The person who has surrendered is, therefore, relying on
strength rather than weakness. The person who has surrendered
does not have to fall back upon anger to handle a situation. Also,
anger cannot be counted upon. In addition, it has many destructive
ef fects; for example, it is running you instead of your running it. A
totally surrendered person is free to choose to express anger if they
wish, but it is done out of choice, not out of necessity. Anger,
especially chronic anger, has deleterious ef fects on the body
or gans, and research in psychosomatic medicine has indicated that
repressed anger is associated with hypertension, arthritis, and a
variety of other diseases.Question : Y ou mentioned that surrender is a natural psychological
mechanism of the mind. If that is so, how come we have to learn
how to do it?
Answer : Although it is true that surrender or letting go is a natural
mechanism of the mind, it must be remembered that the mind has
multiple conflicting motivations. Whereas one part of your mind
would like to be free of the tension from a feeling, another part of
your mind is programmed to believe that hanging on to the feeling
will somehow magically bring about some desired end. Unless one
is conscious and aware and has mastered the technique, the
conflicts of the mind will overrule and dominate. Basically, the
technique of letting go gives you the power of choice over the
tendencies of mind. Instead of being at its ef fect, the mind is now
under your mastery. It opens up freedom and the capacity for free
choice.
Question : I have a hard time with acceptance. What do you
recommend?
Answer:  Divert your attention to that which is really essential,


One you ng wom an began by ch oosing to attract a specific flow er, a white
calla lily. She imagined holding the flower in her hand, smelling the flower,
and she felt having that calla lily. T wo weeks later she went to  a friend's
house for dinner, and there in the centerpiece of the table was a bouquet of
white ca lla lilie s, the very flow er and color she had imagine d. She was
excited to see the lilies, but she didn't say anything to her friend about her
imagined flower. As she was wa lking out the door at the end of the evening,
her friend's daughter spontaneously plucked one white calla lily from the
vase and put it in her hand!
"Imagination is the beginning of cr eation.
 Y ou imagine what you desir e, you will what you imagine, and at l ast you
cr eate what you will. " (Geor ge Bernar d Shaw)
Give It - Receive It
Remember that the law of attraction says whatever you give, you receive. If
you think of the law of attraction as a mirror, an echo, a boomerang, or a
copying machine, it will help ma ke you clearer on what to imagine and feel.
The law  of attraction is like a mirror because a mirror reflects back exactly
what is in front of it. The law of attraction is like an echo becau se whatever
you give out is exactly the echo that comes back. The law of attraction is
like a boomeran g, because whatever boomerang you throw is the exact
same bo omerang that comes back to you. The law of attraction is like a
copying machin e, because whatever you give is reproduced exactly and you
will receive back an exact copy.
A few years ago I was in Paris for my work and I was walking down a
street w hen a woman rushed past me wearing one of the mo st beautiful
skirts I had seen, intricately detailed in a Parisian style. My reaction was
love: "What a beautiful skirt!"
A few weeks la ter I was happily driving to work in Melbourne, Australia,
when I was forced to stop because another driver was trying to do an illegal
U-turn at an inte rsection. As I loo ked at a store window where I had beenforced to  stop, I saw the exact same skirt I had seen on the woman in the
streets of Paris. I could no t believ e my eyes. When I got to work, I called
the store and they told me they had received only one skirt from Europe in
that styl e, and it was the skirt i n the window. Of course the skirt was my
size. When I we nt to the store to purchase the skirt, it was red uced to half
price, and the store attendant told me they had not ordered the skirt, and that
it had just appeared in their order accidentally!
The only thing I had done to bring that skirt to me was to love it, and from
Paris to a suburban street in Australia, through circumstances and events,
the exact same skirt was delive red to me. That is the magnetic power of
love! That is love's law of attraction in operation.

Imagination
"This world is but a canvas to our imaginations." (Henry David Thor eau)

When you imagine anything positive that you want and love, you are
harnessing the force of love. When you imagine something positive,
something good, and you feel love for it, that is what you are giving andthat is what you will receive. If you can imagine it and feel it, then you can
receive it. But what you're imagining must come from love!
Whatever you're imagining must not harm another person. Imagining
something that brings harm to an other person comes not from love but from
a lac k of love. And with certainty any negativity, even imagined, will turn
back wi th an equal ferocity on the person who sent it! Whatev er you give,
you receive back.
But I want to tell you something fantastic about the force of love and your
imagination. The highest and best thing you think is possible  is nothing
compared to what the force of love can give to you. Love has no limits! If
you want to be full of vitality and happiness, with an incredible zest for life,
the forc e of love can give you health and happiness at levels far beyond
what you have seen. I am  tell ing you  this so that you can start to break the
boundaries of your imagination  and stop putting limits on your life. Push
your im agination to the limits, and imagine the best and highest that you
possibly can of whatever it is that you want.
The dif f erence b etween someon e who is struggling and someone who has a
fabulous life comes down to on e thing - lov e. Those who have a great life
imagine what they loveand wa nt, and they feel the love of w hat they're
imagining more than other people! People who are struggling are
unintentionally using their imagination for what they don't love and don't
want, an d are feeling the negativity of what they're imagining. It's such a
simple t hing, bu t it creates vast  dif ferences in people's lives, a nd you can
see the dif ference everywhere you look.
"The sec r et of the master mind is found wholly in the use of imagination. "
(Christian D Larson 1874- 1962)

History has proven that those who dare to imagine the impossible are the
ones who break all human limi tations. In every field of huma n endeavor,
whether science, medicine, sports, the arts, or technology, the n ames of the
people who imagined the imp ossible are engraved in our history. By
breaking the limits of their imagination, they changed the world.Y our ent ire life is what you hav e imagined it to be. Everything you have or
don't have, every situation and circumstance of your life is what you have
imagined it to b e. The problem is that many people imagine the worst!
They're turning the most wonderful tool against themselves.  Instead of
imagining the best, many peopl e are in fear and imag ine all the thing s that
can go wrong. And as surely as they keep imagining and feeling those
things, they happen. Whatever you give, you receive. Feel and imagine the
best and  the highest you can in ev ery area of your life, because the best you
can imagine is a "piece of cake" for the force of love!
When m y family  had settled in the United States, we flew our fifteen-year -
old dog, Cabbie, to be with us. One nig ht, not long after Cabbie  had arrived,
he m anaged to get out of a sm all gap in the fence. Our home backs onto
mountains, so it was far from an ideal situ ation. In the dark we searched the
streets and the tr ails leading up to the mountains, but our dog w as nowhere
to be found.
As my daughter and I were searching, negative feelings of anguish began to
increase. I knew we had to sto p searching and change the way we were
feeling inside immediately. The negative feelings were telling us that we
were im agining the worst, and we had to change the way we were feeling
quickly and imagine the best. At that point, every possible outcome could
still happen, and we had to choose the outcome of having Cabbie safely
home with us, by imagining and feeling that he was home.
W e returned home and we prete nded our dog was with us. W e put food in
his bow l as though he were there. W e ima gined hearing the bell around
Cabbie's neck as he walked dow n our hallway. W e talked to him and called
out his name, as though h e were there. My daughter went to bed imagining
that her best friend of fifteen years was sleeping next to her bed as he
always did.
Early the next m orning, we discovered a notice on a tree at the foot of the
mountains sayin g that someone had found a Ii ttle dog. It was Cabbie. Just
as we had imagined, our dog returned home safely to us.

M, Grimm and W. Fishman develope d the following method to assess vitamin or mineral deﬁciencies by holding certain contact points
on the body. The tested person applies a light pressure on the contact point with a pad formed by the ﬁrst three ﬁngers of the free
hand, while the other arm is tested for muscle strength. Start by testing the muscle strength without touching the body with the free
hand, and then repeat the test while touching the speciﬁed contact point.
The contact points for the main vitamins and minerals are as follows.
Vitamin A: right eyelid
B vitamins:  tip of tongue
Vitamin C:  just below left collarbone, 5 cm from mid-chest
Vitamin D:  midway point of left groin
Vitamin F:  just below right collarbone, 5 cm from mid-chest
Calcium: just above left collarbone, 5 cm from mid-chest
Iodine:  just below Adam's apple
lron:  midway point of the right groin
Magnesium: middle of the navel
Phosphorus:  midway between pubic bone and left hipbone
Potassium:  hollow of right cheek
Zinc:  midway between pubic bone and right hipbone

Touch for Health
Some inﬂuences - nutrients, colours, thoughts and emotions -affect certain muscles more than others. In addition, organ functions
can be tested with speciﬁc muscles. If the muscle is weak, it indicates a weak organ function. Meridian tracement may be used to
strengthen a weak muscle or organ. Some useful organ and muscle tests, as used in Touch for Health by J. F. Thie and M. Marks, are
given below.
Adrenals:  Lie face up, with one leg up and bent so that the foot is over the other leg just below the knee; the tester presses against
the heel and the top of the knee to straighten the leg.
Brain, Mental Stress:  Hold an arm straight, about 15 degrees away from the body, slightly sideways; the tester presses the forearm
towards the groin.
Circulation/Sex: Lie on one side, with the upper leg straight, raised as high as possible; the tester presses the ankle down.
Gall bladder:  Lie face up, holding the arm straight 45 degrees above the leg, palm downward; the tester presses the forearm down.
Heart: Hold the upper arm to the side, level with the shoulder, with the elbow bent at 90 degrees and the forearm down; the tester
steadies the elbow and pulls against the wrist to pull the hand forward and upward.10/30/24, 11:27 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Muscle Testing
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Muscle-Testing.html 2/3Kidneys:  Lie face up, with one leg raised at 45 degrees, slightly towards the side, with the foot turned out; the tester presses the
inside of the ankle down and inward.
Large Intestine: As for the kidneys, but with the foot turned in; the tester presses the ankle down and inward.
Liver: Hold the arm straight forward, level with the shoulder, slightly sideways, with the palm outward (thumb towards feet); the tester
presses the forearm upward and outward.
Lungs:  Hold the arm to the side, elbow level with the shoulder and bent at 90 degrees, forearm horizontal; the tester presses the
elbow down.
Neck and Sinuses:  Lie with the arms above the shoulders, head up, chin down; the tester presses against the forehead.'
Pancreas: Hold the arm straight down touching  the side, with the thumb towards the body, the tester pulls the forearm away from the
side. This is a good test to perform while shopping, the tested person touching a questionable food item.
Small Intestine: Sit on the ﬂoor with closed straight legs, hands on opposite shoulders, lean back slightly; pressure is against the
crossed arms.
Spleen:  Lie face up, with the arm straight to the side, palm upward; the tester pushes the back of the wrist of f the ground.
Stomach:  Hold the arm as for the liver; the tester presses downward and outward.
Generally, the tester's free hand is used to stabilise the tested person's body so that only the tested limb moves, not the whole body.
Both arms and legs may be tested.

SCIENTIFIC FASTING
The Ancient and Modern Key to Health

PREFACE

NINETEEN years have elapsed since the author issued her first volume dealin g with the prevention and relief of disease through
fasting and its accessories. In each of the three succeeding editions details were added, new discoveries recorded, and all f acts
tending to throw clearer light upon the practical application of what Dr. Edward Hooker Dewey termed the "New Gospel of
Health" were fully exploited. In this, the fifth revised and amplified edition of the work, it is hoped that, with greater de tail and
greater knowledge, still greater lucidity has been given in exposition of th e truths that underlie the therapeutic worth and
possibilities of the fast.

The book is written primarily for the lay reader. Hence, whenever a surmise is made or an unproved theory advanced, the attit ude
of the mind of the author regarding it is plainly  displayed. Likewise, whenever absolute harmony has been accomplished between
theory and fact, no doubt is permitted the reader in statements of truth discovered.

If science is to be defined as knowledge gained and verified by exact observation and corre ct thinking, the work in hand is purely a
scientific record. The human subjects presented to the author for guidance and care have in all instances been those for whom
medicine had done its best, or, if you will, its worst. Each case has been carefully obs erved; its organic condition and capabilities
determined as best they might, the patient was fasted, if this procedure were indicated; or his diet was suited to his needs and the
limitations of his organs. Therefore the results obtained are offered no misg ivings or apologies. In accomplishing her work the
author has been handicapped almost at every step by opposition that at times developed into persecution, and this by those wh o
should have been first to welcome the physiological truths which the text prom ulgates. The research made, especially that which
involved post mortem examination, was achieved only through sheer personal determination, assisted by a few broad minds in
authority And it is believed that these autopsies are unique in the history of the healing art, for the author knows of no other
investigator who has had opportunity thus to connect the organic consequence of disease directly with its origin. Moreover, e ach
body examined was, for more or less lengthy periods before death, free from drug dosage, offering for examination tissues
unaffected by recent artificial chemical stimulus or destructive change from similar cause.

Human progress has ever been associated with constant discovery, and it would show not only deficiency in judgment but ac tual
mental incapacity to decry the achievements of earnest and conscientious seekers after truth among men of medicine. The autho r,
however, differs from these scientists in a number of respects, principally because she has always been of the opinion that  the
outstanding need of humanity is public health education; and, while she has indicated that medicine is finally awake to this need,
too many of its practitioners still are devoted to pathological rather than to physiological investigation. Heretofore t he day book of
the family physician consisted of a record of visits to households for the treatment of measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, t yphoid
fever, or malaria. The man was educated to treat disease and knew little of preventive measures, sanitation, hygiene, or diet, nor
did his medical curriculum provide such knowledge. Too long has the medical doctor studied disease and death to the exclusion  of
health and life. Hence again it is stated that, while the facts presented in

Food and Product SummaryToday, many of our foods are highly processed or refined, robbing them of
essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Many also contain
harmful, toxic and dangerous chemicals. The research findings and
experience of top nutritionists, physicians and dentists have led to the
discovery that devitalized foods are a major cause of poor health, illness,
cancer and premature death. The enormous increase in the last 70 years of
degenerative diseases such as heart disease, arthritis and dental decay
substantiate this belief. Scientific research has shown that most of these
afflictions can be prevented and that others, once established, can be arrested
or even reversed through nutritional methods.
Enjoy Super Health with Natural Foods
1. RAW FOODS:  Fresh fruits and raw vegetables or ganically grown are always best. Enjoy
nutritious variety garden salads with raw vegetables, sprouts, raw nuts and seeds.
2. VEGET ABLES and PROTEINS:
a. Legumes, lentils, brown rice, soybeans, and all beans.
b. Nuts and seeds, raw and unsalted.
c. We prefer healthier vegetarian proteins. If you must have animal protein, then be sure it’ s
hormone–free, and or ganically fed and no more than 1 or 2 times a week.
d. Dairy products – fertile range-free eggs ( not over 4 weekly ), unprocessed hard cheese and
feta goat’ s cheese. W e choose not to use dairy products. T ry healthier non-dairy soy, rice,
nut, and almond milks and soy cheeses, delicious yogurt and soy and rice ice cream.
3. FRUITS and VEGET ABLES: Organically grown is always best – grown without the use of
poisonous sprays and toxic chemical fertilizers whenever possible; ur ge your market to stock
organic produce! Steam, bake, sauté or wok vegetables as short a time as possible to retain the
best nutritional content and flavor. Also enjoy fresh juices.
4. 100% WHOLE GRAIN CEREALS, BREADS and FLOURS:  They contain important B-
complex vitamins, vitamin E, minerals, fiber and the important unsaturated fatty acids.
5. COLD or EXPELLER-PRESSED VEGET ABLE OILS: Bragg or ganic extra vir gin olive oil
(is best), soy, sunflower, flax and sesame oils are excellent sources of healthy, essential,
unsaturated fatty acids. W e use oils sparingly.Excerpt from Bragg Book: Water, The Shocking T ruth That Can Save Y our Life
Pure Water Is Important for Health
To the days of the aged it addeth length;
To the might of the strong it addeth strength;
It freshens the heart, it brings us delight;
It’s like drinking a goblet of morning light.
The body is 70% water and purified or steam-
distilled (chemic al-free) water is important for total
health. You should drink 8-9 glasses of wate r a day. Read our Bragg Water
Book for more info on importance of pure water.
Pure distilled water is vitally important in following The Bragg Healthy
Lifestyle. Water is the key to all body functions including: digestion,
circulation, bones and joints, assimilation, elimination, muscles, nerves,
glands and senses. The right kind of water is one of your best natural
protections against all kinds of diseases and viral infections, such as
influenza and pneumonia. It is a vital factor in all body fluids, tissues, cells,
lymph, blood and all glandular secretions. Water holds all nutrit ive factors in
solution, as well as toxins and body wastes, and acts as the main
transportation medium throughout the body, for both nutrition and cleansing
detox purposes!
Drinking 8-10 glasses daily of pur e distilled water cleanses and r echar ges the human batteries! – Paul
C. Bragg, N.D., Ph.D.
There is only one water that is clean and that is steam distilled  water. No other substance on our
planet does so much to keep us healthy and get us well as this distilled water does.  – Dr. James Balch,

Water flows through every single part of your body, cleansing and nourishing it. But the wrong kind ofwater, with inorganic minerals, harmful toxins, chemicals and other contaminants can pollute and
clog your body, and gradually stiffening it painfully. – Paul C. Bragg, N.D., Ph.D.
Distilled water plays vital part in tr eatment of illness, arthritis, etc. – Dr. BanikBe a Bragg Health Crusader, copy and share with family, friends, etc.
The amount of water in the human body, averaging 70%, varies considerably and even from one part
of the body to another area (illustration on right). A lean man may hold 70% of his weight in body
water, while a woman – because of her larger proportion of water -poor fatty tissues – may be only
52% water. The lowering of the water content in the blood is what triggers the hypothalamus, the
brain’ s vital thirst center, to send out its familiar urgent demand for a drink of water! Please obey and
drink ample amounts (8 glasses) of purified water daily. By the time you feel thirsty, you’r e already
dehydrated. – American Running & Fitness Assoc iation
Water Percentage in Various Body Parts:
Chart shows why 8-10 glasses distilled water daily is important.
Your body suffers when you’r e water dehydrated. The body’ s cells ar e like sponges. It takes time for
cells to become hydrated. Daily drink 8 glasses of distilled water.Vegetables & Grains – Healthy Proteins
Many vegetables, grains and legumes are excellent protein sources (chart
page 15), including soybeans, tofu, brown and wild rice, lima beans,
garbanzos, split peas, lentils, pinto and kidney beans. All beans are good
sources of protein and magnesium and are important for a healthy heart and
also wise “health insurance”!
If you desire meat, (be sure it’s hormone-fr ee and drug-fr ee) limit it to 1 to
2 times weekly. Meat has uric acid, urea, saturated fats and cholesterol.
These are toxic materials and not good for the heart and body. Fish (be sure
mercury fr ee) and free range  poultry are cleaner proteins, with less saturated
fat, uric acid and urea than red meat. Free-range poultry is better for you
than red meat. We prefer and urge you to learn to enjoy a heart-healthy
vegetarian diet.
Eggs (free-range, fertile eggs are best) if desired, limit to about 4 a week.
They are a highly concentrated food with cholesterol, a saturat ed fat in the
yolk. If your count is over 200, leave eggs out until your cholesterol gets to
180 or lower (see page 88). The milk cheeses are highly concentrated. If you
eat cheese have naturally aged  and feta (goat/sheep cheese) occasionally.
Never eat proces sed cheese. Dairy products are mucus producing – eat them
sparingly or not at all! Enjoy healthy soy cheeses instead.
Slowly do cut down if you eat a heavy, unhealthy breakfast. Start
including more fresh fruit, stewed prunes with raw wheat germ, honey and


ampness  and the stagnation that occurs with it
inhibit the function of the Kidney  and Liver. An Earth  type might
experience a sore lower back, swollen ankles, and premenstrual
water retention, all indicatio ns of Kidney  disturb ances, along with
fullness in the head and pressure behind the eyes, which reect Liver
disturbance. When Dampness  in the Spleen  hampers the capacity of
the Liver to make decisions and initiate action, a person feels
obsessed with small changes  and decisions and reluctant to commit
to big decisions and their consequences. The eect on the Kidney  is
to create an unsettling feeling of doubt and insecurity, as if one’ssource or identity is never rmly grasped. Thus the characteristic
aability and gregariousness  of the Earth  type may be hemmed in
by an undercurrent of irritability and vulnerability.
When diculty or trauma distort our true nature, disharmony
manifests as aberrations of character, disturbances of physiologic
function, and deformations of physical structure. This means that
the behavior of an exaggerated Organ Network  has overwhelmed and
oppressed others or that it has collapsed, its force dissipated,
creating an unstable vacuum. Signs of conict are likely  to appear
along the ke sequence in exaggerated  patterns and within the
predominant Organ Network  and its “moth er” and “child” along the
sheng  sequence in collapsed  patterns. If the predomin ant Organ
Network  is exaggerated, it needs to be subdued; if it is collapsed, it
needs to be nourished. Exaggerated  and collapsed  pattern s can and
often do coexist, as do excess  and deciency, Heat and Cold.
Harmony is restored when appropriate therapeutic measures of
tonifying or purging, consolidating or dispersing, restore stability by
easing conict and correcting  inequities. The strategy of caring only
for the leader is not enough when the followers are in distress, nor
is aiding the followers enough to guarantee the prudent behavior of
the leader. Both must be supported or limited according to their
need and their role.
When our motion is disturbed by external forces or internal
upheaval, our path becomes crooked and our movement wobbly.
Allied with our organizing force, we navigate smoothly  along our
path, our inner gyroscope unperturbed. Spinning freely, we feel
aligned, at home in our body and right with the world. This
comfortable sense of t and freedom is what we recognize as health.

SELF-ASSESSMENT  QUESTIONNAIRE
The following questionnaire is designed to help you map how the
Five Phases  act and interact within you. The letters (?–E) at the end
of each statement refer to each of the Five Phases. Mark the space at
the beginning of each statement according to the strength of your
response. If it strongly typies you, place a “3” in the space; if it
characterizes you somewhat, put a “1”; if you feel ambivalent or
indierent toward it, put a “0.” If you have a denite negative
response (“I’m not at all like this!”), put a “–2.”
When you are nished, total up the number of positive (+) and
negative (–) responses for each section according to the letter code:
total score for “A,” “B,” and so on. Do this before you look at the
code key so that you are not biased in your responses. Record the
number of positive and negative responses on the Five-Phase
diagram at the end of the questionnaire to plot your particular
patterns.
Look at the Phases  with the highest positive scores and see
whether they are opposite or adjacent to each other: Wood  and Fire
and Earth  are adjacent, whereas Wood  and Metal, Fire and Water, are
opposite. Adjacent Phases  with high scores reect a strong
supporting (“sheng sequence”) relationship. Opposite Phases  with
high scores reect a strong conicting (“fee sequence”) relationship.
Negative scores also suggest conict with an opposing Phase. In this
context, conict is not necessarily good or bad—it represents the
potential for movement and change as well as instability.
If all the scores on the diagram look pretty much the same—that
is, if they dier by a value of only 1–3, you may need to go back to
the questionnaire, review your responses, and eliminate those that
are only a “+1.” This will help to accentuate the numerical contrast
between Phases. If there are still no signicant dierences, refer to
the charts at the end of each chapter on the ve types to determinethe set of characteristics with which you identify most strongly.
How do these reactions compare with your responses to the
questionnaire? Also, answer the questions at the end of the
questionnaire and see if you can classify your answers as belonging
more to one Phase than another.
Whether or not the pattern that emerges now reects your
primary type is a question that you may need to answer upon
further consideration. Eventually a pattern will reveal itself so that
you feel you have a sense of who you are within this paradigm.

	from	a	humorous	viewpoint.	Ordinary	life	seemed	to	be	an	endless
comedy	so	that	even	seriousness	itself	was	humorous.	It	became	necessary	to
quell	expressions	of	the	sense	of	humor	that	some	people	were	unable	to
accept	because	they	were	so	deeply	involved	in	the	perceptual	world	of
negativity.
Most	people	seem	to	have	a	vested	interest	in	the	negativity	of	their
perceptual	world	and	resist	leaving	it	for	awarenesses	on	a	higher	level.
People	seem	to	derive	sufficient	satisfaction	from	their	endless	anger,
resentment,	remorse,	and	self-pity	to	actively	resist	moving	on	to	such	levels
as	understanding,	forgiveness,	or	compassion.	There	seems	to	be	sufficient
gain	in	negativity	so	as	to	perpetuate	ways	of	thinking	that	are	obviously
illogical	and	self-serving,	much	as	politicians	distort	the	truth	in	order	to	gain
votes,	or	criminal	prosecutors	suppress	evidence	of	the	innocence	of	the
accused	in	order	to	obtain	a	conviction.
When	these	negative	‘gains’	are	relinquished,	the	world	becomes	an
endless	presence	of	intense	beauty	and	perfection,	and	love	dominates	all	of
life.	Everything	is	self-luminous,	and	the	joy	of	its	divine	essence	shines
forth,	radiating	through	its	all-present	formlessness,	which	is	expressed	in	the
perceptual	world	as	form.	There	is	no	further	need	to	‘know’	anything
because	there	is	no	further	need	to	know	when	one	is	actually	all	that	exists.
The	mind	in	its	ordinary	state	merely	knows	‘about’.	That	is	no	longer
necessary	when	one	is	everything	that	can	be.	The	Identity,	which	replaced
the	former	sense	of	‘I’,	has	no	parts	or	divisions.	Nothing	is	excluded	from	its
totality	and	its	Allness.	The	Self	has	become	the	Essence,	not	different	from
the	essence	of	everything.	In	nonduality,	there	is	neither	a	knower	nor	thatwhich	is	known	because	they	have	become	one	and	the	same.	Nothing	is
incomplete.	Omniscience	is	self-completion.	There	is	no	desire	for	the	next
second	of	experiencing	that	propels	the	ordinary	mind,	which,	from	moment
to	moment,	always	feels	incomplete.
The	sense	of	completeness	prevails	with	the	physical	senses.	Desire	and
anticipation	disappear,	and	pleasure	arises	out	of	the	activity	itself.	Because
the	experience	of	time	has	stopped,	there	is	no	experience	of	a	succession	of
events	to	be	anticipated	or	regretted.	Each	moment	is	total	and	complete
within	itself.	The	condition	of	beingness	replaces	all	sense	of	past,	present,	or
future	so	that	there	is	nothing	to	anticipate	or	try	to	control.	This	is	part	and
parcel	of	the	profound	state	of	peace	and	stillness.	All	needs	and	wants	stop
with	the	cessation	of	any	sense	of	time.	The	Presence,	with	its	infinite
stillness,	has	displaced	all	mental	and	emotional	activity.	The	body	becomes
self-propagating	and	merely	another	property	of	nature	that	functions	by
responding	to	the	flow	of	conditions.	Nothing	moves	or	acts	independently	of
the	entire	universe.	In	absolute	concordance,	all	lives,	moves,	and	has	its
existence	in	the	absolute	perfection,	beauty,	and	harmony	of	All	That	Is.
Motivation	as	the	basis	for	action	disappeared.	The	phenomena	of	life
were	now	of	a	different	dimension	and	were	observed	as	though	one	were	in	a
different	realm.	Everything	occurs	of	its	own	in	the	state	of	inner	stillness	and
silence,	activated	by	the	love	that	expresses	itself	as	the	universe	and
everything	in	it.	The	beauty	of	life	shines	forth	as	infinite	joy	and	happiness,
infinitely	peaceful	and	beyond	emotion.	The	peace	of	God	is	so	complete	and
total	that	there	is	nothing	left	to	desire	or	want.	Even	‘experiencing’	has
ceased.	In	duality,	there	is	an	experiencer	and,	separately,	that	which	is
experienced.	In	nonduality,	this	is	replaced	by	having	become	All	That	Is	so
there	is	no	separation	in	time,	space,	or	subjective	experience	between	the
experiencer	and	that	which	is	experienced.
In	the	nonduality	of	awareness,	even	sequence	no	longer	occurs,	and
awareness	replaces	experiencing.	There	is	no	longer	the	experience	of
‘moments’,	as	there	is	only	a	continuous	Now.	Movement	appears	as	slow
motion,	as	though	suspended	outside	of	time.	Nothing	is	imperfect.	Nothing
actually	moves	or	changes;	no	events	actually	take	place.	Instead	of	sequence,
there	is	the	observation	that	everything	is	in	a	stage	of	unfolding,	and	that	all
form	is	only	a	transitional	epiphenomenon	created	by	perception	and	the
observational	habits	of	mentation.	In	reality,	all	comes	into	being	as	an
expression	of	the	infinite	potentiality	of	the	universe.	Evolving	states	are	the
consequences	of	conditions	but	are	not	caused	by	them.	Conditions	account
for	appearances,	and	the	phenomena	as	change	are	really	the	result	of	an
arbitrary	point	of	observation.From	the	viewpoint	of	singularity,	there	appears	to	be	multiplicity,	but
from	the	omnipresence	of	simultaneous	multiplicity,	there	is	only	the
singularity	of	oneness.	Omnipresence	obliterates	any	perceptual	artifact	of
either	singularity	or	multiplicity.	In	reality,	neither	condition	exists.	There	is
neither	‘here’	nor	‘there’;	there	is	neither	‘now’	nor	‘then’;	there	is	neither
‘past’	nor	‘future’;	there	is	neither	‘complete’	nor	‘incomplete’,	nor	is	there
‘becoming’	in	that	which	is	already	and	totally	self-existent.	Time	itself	is	an
arbitrary	point	of	observation	as	is	the	speed	of	light.	Our	customary	attempts
to	describe	the	universe	can	be	seen	not	as	a	description	of	the	universe	but
instead	as	a	description	of	arbitrary	points	of	observation	and	really	as	a	map
of	how	the	ordinary	mind	works.
What	is	actually	being	described	is	not	an	objective,	self-existent	universe
but	merely	the	categories	of	mentation	of	the	mind	and	the	structures	and
forms	of	its	sequential	processing.	The	limitation	of	science,	then,	is
preordained	by	the	limitations	imposed	by	the	perceptual	world	of	duality.
Perception	itself	is	self-limiting	in	that	it	can	only	know	‘about’	rather	than
know.	Science	is	not	expected	to	reach	beyond	the	limits	of	perception	nor
should	it	be	faulted	for	failing	to	do	so.	It	can	only	take	us	to	the	threshold	of
awareness,	which	does	not	depend	on	perception	at	all.	In	actuality,	science
progresses	by	scientific	intuition,	with	the	logic	and	the	proof	coming
afterwards.	We	customarily	call	these	intuitive	leaps	creativity,	which
supersede	logic	and	energize	progress.	Thus,	discovery	is	the	real	mainspring
of	the	evolution	of	society.
In	the	state	of	Awareness,	the	mind	has	become	silent.	Logical	or
sequential	thought	has	stopped,	and	instead,	there	is	silence	and	stillness,	and
a	continuous,	effortless	unfolding	and	presentation	as	revelation.
Knowingness	unfolds	of	itself	and	the	divinity	of	All	That	Is	silently	shines
forth	as	self-evident	and	self-effulgent.	All	stands	forth	in	complete	and


izable,  understandable  and verifiable  misinterpretations  … All scientists  who think  they
are working  with viruses  in laboratories  are actually  working  with typical  particles  of specific
dying  tissues  or cells which  were  prepared  in a special  way.  They  believe  that those  tissues  and
cells are dying because  they were  infected  by a virus.  In reality,  the infected  cells and tissues
were  dying  because  they were  starved  and poisoned  as a consequence  of the experiments  in
the lab.”
” … the death  of the tissue  and cells takes  place  in the exact  same  manner when  no “infected”
genetic  material  is added  at all. The virologists  have apparently  not noticed  this fact.  According
to … scientific  logic and the rules  of scientific  conduct,  control  experiments  should  have been
carried  out. In order  to confirm  the newly  discovered  method  of so-called  “virus  propagation”
… scientists  would  have had to perform  additional  experiments,  called  negative  control
experiments,  in which  they would  add sterile  substances  … to the cell culture.”
“These  control  experiment  have never been  carried  out by the official   “science”  to this day.
During  the measles  virus  trial,  I commissioned  an independent  laboratory  to perform  this control
experiment  and the result  was that the tissues  and cells die due to the laboratory  conditions  in
the exact  same  way as when  they come  into contact  with alleged  “infected”  material.”
In other words, the studied cells and tissues die with or without the presence of a virus in
exactly the same way; therefore, the virus cannot be the cause of the morbidit y and mortality.
Interestingly, this exactly what many health experts have stated, namely that there are only 2
causes of disease:  deficiency  and toxicity. For instance, Charlotte Gerson (who took over
running the Gerson Clinic from her brilliant father Ma x) said this about disease and cancer.
Removing cells or tissue from the body and thus cutting them off from their energy/nutrient
supply will quickly lead to deficiency; injecting antibiotics into the mixture is toxicity; thus
there is no solid proof a vi rus is causing disease when there is already deficiency and toxicity
present. This is the key point of the virus misconception.

How the Virus Misconception Has Roots in 1858 and Became Entrenched in 1954
Lanka traces back the development of the  virus  misconception  to 1858 and to the ‘cell theory’
of Rudolf Virchow, who proposed a theory that all disease and all life originates from a single
cell, which is somehow hijacked by a virus that weakens it and propagates itself. Lanka points
out 2 problems wit h this:

“The  cell theory  was only originated  because  Rudolf  Virchow  suppressed  crucial  discoveries  about
tissues.  The findings  and insights  with respect  to the structure,  function  and central  importance
of tissues  in the creation  of life, which  were  already  known  in 1858,  comprehensively  refute  the
cell theory  and the subsequently  derived  genetic,  immune  and cancer  therapies.
“The  infection  theories  were  only established  as a global  dogma  through  the concrete  policies  and
eugenics  of the Third  Reich.  Before  1933,  scientists  dared  to contradict  this theory;  after  1933,
these  critical  scientists  were  silenced.”
By “infection theories” Lanka means  germ  theory, the prevailing theory of modern Western
Medicine. Lanka then describes how a paradigm shift in the perception of the virus occurred
during 1952 -1954:
“Until  1952,  a virus  was defined  as a pathogenic  poison  in the form  of a protein,  which  as an
enzyme  caused  damage  in an unknown  manner,  which  could  cause  disease  and be transmissible.  After  1953,  the year in which  the alleged  DNA in the form  [of] an alleged  alpha  helix  was publicly
announced,  the idea of a virus  became  a malignant  genotype  wrapped  in proteins.  Thus,  a
paradigm  shift  took place  between  1952 and 1954 regarding  the image  of a virus.”
He talks about how theory become dogma in the Church of Mainstream Science (aka
Scientism) :
“This  completely  unscientific  approach  originated  in June 1954,  when  an unscientific  and
refutable  speculative  article  was published,  according  to which  the death  of tissue  in a test tube
was considered  … possible  evidence  for the presence  of a virus.  Six months  later,  on 10
December  1954,  the main  author  of this opinion  was awarded  the Nobel  Prize  for Medicine  for
another  equally  speculative  theory.  The speculation  from  June 1954 was then raised  to a
scientific  fact and became  a dogma  which  has never  been  challenged  to this date.  Since  June
1954,  the death  of tissue  and cells in a test tube has been  regarded  as proof  for the existence
of a virus.”

Returning to Koch’s Postulates: No Isolation, No Purification
As I covered in  COVID -19 Umbrella  Term  to Operate  a Fake Pandemic:  Not 1 Disease,  Not 1
Cause, today’s mainstream scientists are skipping the all important 2nd step of  Koch’s
postulates : the isolation and purification of the virus. This isn’t something you can just gloss
over or forget to do, like accidentally forgetting your umbrella on a rainy day a nd getting a bit
wet. This is the absolutely quintessential part of determining if there is a new virus and if it
causing causing disease. It’s the sine qua non. If you can’t isolate it, you have FAILED to prove
anything, because the budding offshoot you t hink is an invading virus could easily be a exosome
or particle being produced by the body itself. This is why all the COVID propaganda has
conveniently glossed over the fact that there are no  electron  microscope  images of SARS -
CoV-2, since the electron mi croscope is an extremely important tool in the 1st step of Koch’s
postulates, the identification. Lanka continues:

“… a virus  has never  been  isolated  according  to the meaning  of the word  isolation,  and it has
never  been  photographed  and biochemically  characterised  as a whole  unique  structure.  The
electron  micrographs  of the alleged  viruses  show  in reality  quite  normal  cellular  particles  from
dying  tissues  and cells,  and most  photos  show  only a computer  model  (CGI – computer  generated
images).”
So What Does All This Have to Do with COVID?
So to bring this back to the current plandemic, all of the same assumptions and la ck of evidence
are in play when it comes to COVID:
“Individual  molecules  are extracted  from  the particles  of dead  tissue  and cells,  they are
misinterpreted  to be parts  of a virus  and are theoretically  put together  into a virus  model  … The
consensus -finding  process  for the measles  “virus”,  in which  the participants  debated  in order  to
determine  what  belonged  to the virus  and what  didn’ t, lasted  for decades.  With  the apparently
new China  Coronavirus  2019 (2019 -nCoV,  meanwhile  renamed),  this consensus -finding  process
lasts only a few mouse  clicks.
With  only a few mouse  clicks  as well, a program  can create  any virus  by putting  together
molecules  of short  parts  of nucleic  acids  from  dead  tissue  and cells with a determined  biochemical
composition,  thus arranging  them  as desired  into a longer  genotype  which  is then declared  to be
the complete  genome  of the new virus  … in this process  of theore tical construction  of the “viral
DNA”,  those  sequences  that don’t  fit are “smoothed  out” and missing  ones are added.  Thus,  a
DNA sequence  is invented  which  doesn’t  exist  in reality  and which  was never  discovered  and
scientifically  demonstrated  as a whole.”
So basically, mainstream Chinese scientists who work under the same theory as mainstream
Western scientists invented a new theoretical model for SARS -CoV-2, and proclaimed a novel
coronavirus, but all without the electron micrographs to actually back it u p.
This entire process


 hand, feeling
love associated with what you have placed in your imagination triggers the
subconscious mind to produce experiences that reflect its own Divine nature.
Feel the feeling of love in your body directed at what you place in your
imagination as an idea, and then you activate the subconscious mind.
The moment it receives a feelin g impression, it takes action on working
out the ways of its expression. I have been doing precisely this since I had a
diagnosis of leukemia some two years ago. I place into my imagination an I
am that says I am strong; I am perfect health.  This is my imagination, and I
can place any conscious thoughts in there that I choose, regardless of what
my five senses might be saying to me. I live from this awareness of I am
strong; I am perfect health.  I talk to my body and remind it that I refuse to
dwell on any I am weak; I am sick  images.
The most important thing I do is choosing to feel good regardless of what
the numbers on any medical screen might say. I meditate on I am strong; I
am perfect health; and I infus e my entire being, inner and outer, with a
feeling of love and gratitude for this moment, this day, this body that has
housed my invisible soul for these 71-plus years, and I assume the feeling of
the wish fulfilled.  I have no thoughts of impending doom, only feelings of
love for this miracle that I am. I treat my leukemia diagnosi s as healing
information being given to me rather than as a disease.
Can you imagine that God would build us in such a way that our cells
would actually go to war with one another? War isn’t even a concept that
God is capable of implementing; war is a human concept—one that man has
applied to his theories of how our body functions. What if all of thesedisease-model war theories are just as wrong in regard to our physical body
as they are in resolving confli cts between people? What if what we call
“illness” or “disease” is not that at all? What if we stopped looking at our
health through scientific/medical theories and really looked at what our body
is doing, and how it heals itself?
There are biological laws that your body abides by, and often what is
labeled “disease ” is actually your body’ s natural healing reflex. Perhaps it is
a false belief that feeling unwell or having an abnormal blood count means
you must fix it as quickly as possible. Must you search out a pill to fix
everything? If you cut yourself, your body knows what to do—it forms a
scab on its own. The presence of a scab doesn’ t indicate that your body is
out of balance and requires medical intervention. There’ s swelling,
inflammation—and yes, some pain—but that isn’t disease unles s it becomes
excessive. This way of recogniz ing your body’ s healing intelligence instead
of treati ng it as a disease is equally true for psychological and emotional
incidents.
Unexpected psychological events—such as the breakup of a marriage, a
financial crisis, or the death of a loved one—create reactions in the brain that
trigger physical responses in the body that are designed to assist the body in
dealing with the conflict. The body continues to assist until the conflict is
resolved, and then it goes into a healing phase to get back to its natural state
of well- being. During this healing phase the body may utilize swelling,
inflammation, fatigue, and an elevated white-blood-cell count as part of the
healing process.
Leukemia, for instance, can actually be the healing phase of a severe
psychological series of traumati zing events. This healing phase for leukemia
first involves the expansion of blood vessels, lymph vessels, and a rise in
leukocytes or leucoplasts; eventually, as the brain receives the healing
message, blood cells of a good quality are produced, platelet counts return to
normal, and energy levels rise. As I view it, my job is to heal any and all
relationship conflicts and to feel completely valued, while eliminating and
resolving any long-held conflicts and beliefs about myself. In other words, to
feel good—that is, to feel God—and to offer unconditional love to everyone,
including those who may have played a major part in any and all conflict
dramas that once defined my life.This is how I deal with a diagnosis of leukemia. I choose to feel good
(God), to trust my body to use its inherent wisdom for healing, and to treat
the diagnostic numbers in medical lab reports as what I’m supposed to be
experiencing.
I go by how I feel, and the truth is, I am well, I am strong, and yes, I am
God. I treat my body well, eat healthful and high-protein foods, rest,
exercise, do yoga, and know that everything is in Divine hands and in Divine
order. I view illness not as a failure on my part, but as the wond erful healing
that it truly is, and I don’ t need pills, radiation, or invasive procedures.
The fact is that I feel good, and I am resolving any and all conflicts with
massive doses of love (God is love, remember). This is what  I choose to
imprint on my subconscious mind, and the subconscious mind accepts as
true that which I feel is true. Creation is the result of subconscious
impressions, and by my feelings, I determine creation.
Impacting Y our Subconscious Mind
As I close this section on the necessity of assuming the feeling of the wish
fulfilled to facilitate your having an active role in manifesti ng a wishes
fulfilled life, I offer you three reminders for how the subconscious mind
works in collaboration with your feelings as a crucial component of this
magnificent and mystifying process:
1. The subconscious mind responds to suggestions.  You can reprog ram
your subconscious mind so that it goes on its accustomed role of autopilot
with mental and feeling images from yourself. Talk to this automatically
receptive component of yoursel f, telling it that you are unlimited, and that
you believe all things are possib le. Fill it with images of you being all that
you dare to become. Go to a quiet place and feel in your body what it would
feel like were those thoughts in your imagination your present reality.
2. The subcons cious mind possesses the power to manifest physical
reality from thought.  Every object and circumstance in this world is
representative of a mental thought. All that now exists was once imagined—
such is the power of the subconscious mind. But in order to partake of this
incredible powe rhouse of creation that you are, you must be able and willing
to experience within yourself— in your mind—that which you wish tomanifest. Thoug hts become things when you feel them, and are able to
impress them upon the subconscious mind, which will then take over.
Here is how Neville describes this phenomenon: “This substance is
consciousness. It is your imagination which forms this substance into
concepts, which concepts are then manifested as circumstances, and physical
objects. Thus imagination made your world. ”26 And then his take on the
importance of feelings in programming the subconscious mind: “The reality
of your assumption has its being  in complete independence of objective fact
and will clothe itself in flesh if you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
When you know that assumptions, if persisted in, harden into facts, then
events which seem to the uninitiated mere accidents will be understood by
you to be the logical and inevitable effects  of your assumption.”27
3. Love  is the feeling you must learn to assume.  Subconscious mind is
really a piece of the one mind, and you and I are living in that mind. This
universal subcon scious mind is the first cause, and the stuff from which all
things are made. This thingless  thing is really love. When you feel it, truly
feel it within as your private inner awareness regarding what you would like
to manifest, you gain the power of creation. Recall what Saint Francis of
Assisi said in one line of his famous prayer: “Lord, make me an instrument
of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” You are asking in this
prayer to have the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
When you experience anger, frustration, fear, doubt, worry, stress, and so
on, ramp up your love and immerse those negative feelings in a container of
pure love. Simply choose  to feel good because every moment of offering
love brings your little sliver of subconscious mind into harmony with the all-
creating one universal subconscious mind that is defined as love.
I trust I’ve awakened within you the awareness that your feelings play a
huge role in your becoming a God-realized manifesting being. Neville states
this very clearly: “Denying the evidence of the senses and appropriating the
feeling of the wish fulfilled is the way to the realization of your desire.”28
Apply his wisdom beginning now—it will serve you in ways that you may
never have imagined in common hours.  And remember that picturing thefuture without assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled is nothing but futile
daydreaming.
Three Suggestions
— Practice feeling a thought that you have inserted into your imagination.
Remember that a feeling is what you feel in your body as you contemplate
what it is you wish to manifest or who you would like to become. Close your
