 one’s own
magnificence.
The conversation we are now having is about bringing that same view forward. It is
about moving it from Then to Now.
I can remember my father saying, “If I knew then  what I know now.... ” This is about
knowing “now” what you will know “then.” Exciting, yes?
All of This:
it is preparation for walking in the world
as Light.
You have been found now,
and the running of man y lifetimes
is over.
So as each layer of dust
is wiped clean
from the surface,
the You
you have known
must  disperse.
Let this Light become
Your speech & Your silence.
Let the grief
that has lived you,
pass away.  Let the people
who love You,
love Themselves.
Let the earth shake,
the stars burn
the skies break
when You do.
As painful as this part is,
You were meant to know your Light.

OF SNAKES AND LIONS AND HUMANS, TOO
WE ARE VERY NEAR  the end of part 1  of this book. This first half of this wonderful
conversation brought us into deep focus on the Mechanics of the Mind in order that you
might change the way you experience change. In the second half of our time together we
will look at changing the way you create  change, by exploring the System of the Soul.
It would have been impossible to explain how the second —and more exciting —tool
works without us deeply understanding the mechanics of the first. And it will be impossible
to fully utilize the first, no matter how thoroughly we explain it, without the fuel (that is to
say, the power ) that the second gives  to the first.
All of which is to notice that life in both  its parts has a purpose and a function just the
way it is. We are truly served by using life in all the ways that it presents itself, physical and
spiritual, as a means and a pathway to the Ultimate Reality.
So now we shall go just one more, final, layer deep in exploring life in the physical —for
this final exploration will lead to a life -altering question  that will make everything you have
read in the past several chapters usable and workable in a way that you might never have
imagined.
As we do this I wi ll come right back to you and your experience of life on this day.
All along I have been presuming that on this day you are standing in what I call “the
middle of a moment” of significant change in your life. I hope you now see that,
fascinatingly, your experience  of this change may have nothing to do with what you actually
saw, felt, tasted, heard, or smelled. It’s your Past Data that formed your innermost truth
about it, and it is from your innermost truth that your thought, emotion, and experience
emerge s producing your present reality.
Is it a Distorted Reality, the Observed Reality, or is it the Ultimate Reality in which you
stand? Well, you can tell by how you feel.
If you feel terrible, you are standing in a Distorted Reality. If you feel just fine, y ou are
standing in the Observed Reality. If you feel blissful, you are standing in the Ultimate
Reality.
All of this depends on what kind of match your mind is finding for the data that exists in
this present moment. But now let’s ask an intriguing questio n. What if you encounter in
your life a piece of here -and-now data for which your mind cannot find a match?
I ask the question because, as a person who is thinking this all through with me, you may
have already asked it in your own mind. The answer is that  this situation is highly unlikely.
As I’ve noted before, it is virtually impossible to not find some kind of match in Past Data
for what is going on now. Almost everything that you are experiencing is a version of
something you have experienced before. Gr anted, it may have been as far back as the crib
(and therefore perhaps out of your conscious memory), but it is there in your data bank, I
assure you.  In my own case, to give you an example, I happen to vividly remember a time when I was
under two years ol d and standing in my crib. I was just being potty trained and I needed to
go to the bathroom. I called for my mom, who was in another room, to lift me out of the
crib. She heard me and said, “I’ll be right there, sweetheart.” But she never came.
I called a nd called, and then began to cry. She kept calling back to me that she was
coming, but she was taking a terribly long time. I don’t know what she was doing in that
other room, but it was something that she clearly did not want to be interrupted. The
troubl e was, that exact moment was when I needed her. I knew that she heard me because
she called back to me. But she was not coming. I felt abandoned. Why wasn’t she coming?
I tried and tried to get out of the crib... I can still see myself trying to hoist m yself up,
then working to lift my leg up over the railing... but it was no use, it was too high. I
couldn’t get out.
MAH -MEE I cried one last time, but it was no use. Finally, through a lake of tears, I had
no choice but to soil my diaper.
Now look, I k now that this was not a Big Deal. Now  I know that. But then  I did not know
that. And then  is when the data was stored.
You see? You understand?
I had been told that Big Boys use the potty. I was devastated at having failed to be a Big
Boy.
To this day I ha ve had to deal with abandonment issues. You think I am making this up?
This is how it works!  This is how the mind works. It does not know the difference between
Then and Now.
I can’t erase this memory. In fact, the harder I tried through the years, the mor e indelible
the memory became. Of course. I was burning it in there. And it is as I said before. There is
no delete button on this machine.
So... it is highly unlikely —not impossible, but very unlikely —that your mind will not be
able to find a match in Past Data for a Present Moment encounter. Your mind will do its
best to find something  to match it up with because your mind understands that your
survival depends  on it finding something to compare Now with. Otherwise, how will you
know how to proceed?
But let us say that it just cannot. Let us say that something that’s occurring right now is
so unique, so unusual, so first -of-its-kind, that you truly have nothing at all from any yester -
moment with which to compare it.
Not to worry. Your mind will search a  “sub -directory” in your memory comprised of data
that is held beneath the first level of consciousness, in your molecular encoding —or your
“subconscious.” This is called your cellular memory —or what some people refer to as
instinct. (This is where “fight -or-flight” comes from, among other reactions.)
Actually, your mind went to this sub -directory first. It does that as the first means of self -
preservation, just in case you don’t have time to think. In the moment that any outward
event occurs, your initial impulse will be to react instinctively. Then, i f you do have time to
think (Remember when we talked about this before? We said this only takes seconds.
Nanoseconds, really) you can decide how you wish to respond, rather than how you would
react  if you hadn’t thought about it.  Response Time is a luxury.  Reaction Time is instant. Yet when you respond, always
know that you are never responding to what is happening now. You are responding to your
past. Again, so that you are clear... if your Past Data really and truly can produce no match
whatsoever to y our Present Data, you will revert back to instinct —which is also  Past Data.
It is simply Past Data of a different sort.
Your instinct  is what pushes you into your future. It says, if you want a future, listen to
your past —even if it is a past that you cann ot consciously remember. Your cellular
memory, this “sub -directory,” holds the history of your entire species. So if anyone  in your
biological line has encountered data about what you are now witnessing, that data will
immediately be made available to you.
This is the Reptilian Brain at work.
The what?
Yes, I said the Reptilian Brain. And all of this —all of it — relates directly to the
experience that you are having right now, on this very day. This short course in the
Mechanics of the Mind is something that should be taught in every school, in age -
appropriate ways, so that when we all become adults we know what we are dealing with
here —and can create the lives we always imagined


  the certainty that the human mind can construct
any setu p while also accepting the setup of the physical universe.
This makes it seem that life has two compartments—the  mental,
which is unlimited, and the p hysical, which is limited. But that’s a
mistake. A house isn’t separ ate from the desire to build a house
and the  knowledge of how it is done. Mental and physical are
aspects of one thing: creative intelligence at play. When you wake
up, you  will see how creative intelligence works, and with
fascinated curiosity you will become a co-creator of reality.
For Today
To become aware of how creative intelligence unfolds, start
with a small object. Whether it is a nail, an earring, or the keys to
your car, these things are id eas that took physical shape. Now
consider some thing larger, like the Empire State Building or theGolden Gate Bridge. They too are ideas that took physical shape.
Does it matter that an earring is tiny and the Golden Gate Bridge
immense? No. Creative intel ligence isn’t large or small. Nor is it
hard or soft, here but not there, visible or invisible. The ability to
create is entirely self-contained, respecting no limitations of forms
and shapes. Creativity ne eds only itself. Without creative
intelligence, forms, shapes, and events couldn’t arise.
Now see yourself in the m irror and say to yourself, “I am
infinite creativity that has taken on a form.” Stop identifying with
the form and start identifying with the creativity. This is how you
wake up.
YOUR EXPERIENCE:

 DAY 23

Every form and phenomenon is actually one thing: the
modification of the formless, the infinite reduced to the
finite, pure awareness given a beginning, a middle, and
an end.
The world rewards big thinkers and gives them a place in
history. By comparison with an Albert Einstein or a Leonardo da
Vinci, everyone feels like a l ittle thinker. But a big thin ker isn’t
necessarily the biggest thinker. The biggest thinker sees that
reality is one thing, creation one process. That’s the whole picture
in one view, which becomes your reality when you wake up.
The whole picture becomes clear when the mind stops
constantly blurring your view with interfering thoughts,
sensations, images, and feelings. They represent the ba ck-and-
forth be tween you and the ou tside world. When you wake up, the
interference patterns fall aw ay. You accept as a natural fact that
infinite, formle ss pure consciousness is the source of al l things.
What makes this realization natural is that you see yourse lf as an
expression of one thing, not a jumble of mental and physical
activity.
For Today
If you see an object in the outside world, you view it from  the
outside. Wholeness—the one thing—has no outside. It also  has no
inside. Therefore, you can’t view it. Because you are  it, you can’t
even relate to wholeness in  various ways, like accepting it or
rejecting it, participating on e day and taking time out the next.
When y ou wake up, you know that you are the one thing. Yet even
now you can stop relating to it in false ways.Today, practice having no attitude toward your mind. Let
thoughts arise and fall, and when you are tempted to have an
attitude toward  what is going on, don’t. Don’t say that one thought
is good and a nother bad. Don’t assign labels like SMART, DUMB,
POSITIVE,  or NEGATIVE. T he mind is none of those things. It is the
flow of activity from the absolute. To label the mind is like saying
that wholeness  is bad, good, positive, negative, and so on.  Clearly,
wholeness is beyond all lab els. So is your awareness. By not
judging your thoughts, you begin to adopt the open,
nonjudgmental state of being awake.
YOUR EXPERIENCE:

 DAY 24

Only awareness is real. Even as it plays the role of
observer and observed, even as it creates worlds “out
there” and “in here,” its own nature is unchanging.
Awareness exists. Everything else is a passing experi ence.
These two sentences have be en said and resaid for centur ies. This
fact shows, at the very least, that human beings looked at reality
and found it mysterious. How did change emerge from
nonchange? How did One become Many? The mystery was
formulated in countless different ways. Asking “What came before
time began?,” as modern cos mology does, is merely a va riant on
the medieval question “What existed before God?”
The answer is contained in t he question. What came first has
been here forever. Change i s just a mask worn by nonchange.
Once hu man beings saw the mystery, we saw our own nature. We
are creator and created, One and Many, changing experience and
unchanging awareness. None of this has to be proved o r tested.
Whether you accept your true nature or not has no bearing on
your tru e natu re. It continues to be. On waking up, you see your
true nature clearly, and then a new life begins.
For Today
Taking a moment or two, l et your mind roam across some
things you can recall from your past—memories of early
childhood, your parents, birthdays, school, your first kiss, some
things t hat are  sad, and so on. It doesn’t matter what you choose
to see. Now ref lect on the one thing they all have in comm on. You
were there. You are the nonchange in the midst of change. Now
you know your true nature. Everything else is window dressing.YOUR EXPERIENCE:

 DAY 25

Human suffering is built into virtual reality. It doesn’t
exist in awareness itself.
When you suffer and feel unhappy, anxious, depressed, or
hopeless, your suffering feels totally real. You are experiencing
something that  is a given, feels like a given, rooted in phys ical pain
and mental anguish. But virtual reality, our collective
spell/dream/illusion, is a construct. Suffering is embedded in the
construct, which is why it fee ls inevitable. Beliefs about suffering,
whether they originate in the doctrine of sin or karma or modern
medical theories, reinforce virtual reality.
Waking up doesn’t guarante e that there will never again be
physical pain or sad days. Th e conditioned mind is stubborn, and
our body has been bombar ded constantly by signals from the
conditioned m ind. Shadows of conditioning continue  to fall
(always remembering that t he shadows can be light as well as
heavy). On waking up, yo u abandon your allegiance  to the
conditioned mind, and, from that moment, it begins to fade and
lose its grip. Y ou see that freedom from suffering is possible and
natural. Suffering doesn’t ex ist in awareness itself, which is your
true nature.
For Today
When people suffer—for example, when they feel depressed or
are diag nosed with a life-threatening illness—there’s a tem ptation
to b lame themselves. “Did I do this to myself?” is a questio n posed
out of guilt, and guilt is quick to blame. The best answe r is that
your suffering is part of virtual reality. You accepted virtual reality,
which makes your participation in pain and suffering inevitable.Not tha t you are doomed; some people escape serious s uffering.
But you r partic ipation is a se aled deal, no matter who yo u are or
what happens to you, unless you make a change.
To end suffering, break the deal. When you wake up, the w hole
contract is annulled. Today yo u can prepare the way by not buying
into pain and suffering as so mething fated and inevitable. Think
back on some experiences you consider as suffering—they’d
include instances of grief, loss, sickness, betrayal, failure,
humiliation, and so on. Now sit quietly, go inward, and be with
yourself this minute. You are the same awareness that went
through suffering but also not suffering, that experienced pain but
also pleasure, that lost but also gained. For every opposite, you
have experienced both poles. Therefore, you are not either one.
You are the unchanging awareness that witnesses change, the
screen upon which every experience plays without being an
experience. This insight holds the entire secret of bringing
suffering to an end.
YOUR EXPERIENCE:

 DAY 26

Suffering continues because we cling to memory and
grasp at experience. It is an illusion to believe that the
now can be grasped or that reality can be clung to.
Truth feels cold when there’s nothing you can do about it.
People feel the truth that l ife brings suffering, and they hate
feeling helples s in the face of this truth. The result is gre at inner
conflict. On the one hand, w e pretend to accept that lif e brings
suffering. On the other hand, we struggle to escape the feeling of
helplessness. Modern medicine ends part of the confusion and
struggle. As diseases are conquered, human beings feel more
powerful and suffering is pushed aside—for the moment.
Suffering in the form of ment al anguish has not been allevi ated,
nor has the fe ar of disease and aging,


our	limited	self	and	say,	“Thank	you
for	always	being	here.	Because	of	you	I	have	experienced	the	light.	I	have	known
love	and	beauty.	Join	with	me	now,	and	trust	in	me.	We	are	going	to	find	our
true	home	in	the	light.”	That’s	how	self-compassion	begins,	by	changing	blame
and	judgment	to	acceptance	and	optimism.
Having	adopted	this	new	attitude	toward	yourself,	you	want	to	sustain	it.
There	are	various	ways	to	practice	self-compassion	every	day,	as	follows.
To	be	kind	to	yourself,	DO
Smile	at	your	reflection	in	the	mirror.
Let	others	compliment	you.
Bask	in	other	people’s	approval	when	it	comes	your	way.
Accept	and	be	nonjudgmental	with	your	personal	appearance	and
body.
Value	who	you	are	and	stand	up	for	yourself.Get	to	know	yourself	like	a	friend.
Be	easy	about	your	personal	quirks.
Be	as	natural	as	possible,	not	worrying	if	you	are	pleasing	or
displeasing	others.
Speak	your	truth	when	you	know	you	should.
The	Do	list	is	centered	on	relating	to	yourself	with	a	nonjudgmental	attitude.
There	is	also	a	Don’t	list,	which	is	about	removing	self-judgments,	because	in
the	end,	all	lack	of	self-love	is	rooted	in	judging	yourself.
To	stop	self-judgment,	DON’T
Brush	away	compliments.
Reject	other	people’s	appreciation.
Belittle	yourself,	even	with	self-deprecating	humor.
Dwell	on	your	faults	as	a	topic	of	conversation.
Rationalize	away	the	times	when	someone	else	hurts	you.
Accept	indifference	from	people	who	supposedly	love	you.
Associate	with	others	who	have	low	self-esteem	and	expect	you	to
be	the	same	way.
Silently	swallow	bad	treatment	when	you	know	you	should	speak
up.
The	reflections	of	how	you	feel	about	yourself	exist	all	around	you.	Even
negative	reflections	are	incredibly	useful	if	you	take	them	as	guides	for	change.
Are	there	people	in	your	life	who	take	you	for	granted	when	they	shouldn’t?
Rather	than	trying	to	change	them,	see	this	as	a
reflection	of	how	much	you
value	yourself—in	this	case,	not	enough.	You	might	want	to	write	out	the
following	checklist,	and	over	the	next	week	check	off	each	time	something	on
the	list	happens	to	you.	The	list	contains	typical	reflections	in	everyone’s	life,
both	positive	and	negative.
Positive	Reflections
___	Someone	appreciated	me.
___	I	liked	the	person	I	saw	in	the	mirror.
___	I	received	a	sincere	compliment.
___	I	felt	proud	of	something	I	did	for	myself.___	I	felt	as	if	I	belonged.
___	Someone	expressed	love	for	me	in	a	meaningful	way.
___	I	felt	lovable.
___	I	felt	well	loved.
___	The	beauty	of	the	life	I’m	living	really	hit	me.
___	I	felt	like	a	unique	person;	there’s	no	one	in	the	world	quite	like	me.
Negative	Reflections
___	Someone	criticized	me	to	my	face.
___	I	frowned	at	myself	in	the	mirror.
___	I	felt	guilty	or	embarrassed	by	something	I	remembered	from	long
ago.
___	I	put	myself	down	while	talking	to	someone	else.
___	I	felt	unwanted,	an	outsider.
___	I	received	what	felt	like	an	empty	word	or	gesture	of	love.
___	I	felt	unlovable.
___	I	sat	through	someone	else’s	litany	of	complaints.
___	Something	pointless	about	my	life	really	hit	me.
___	I	felt	bored	by	my	existence	and	the	people	I	keep	seeing	every	day.
Some	people	might	resist	filling	out	these	two	lists	because	they’re	afraid	of
what	they’ll	find.	Or	they	might	think	that	noticing	negative	reflections	is	a
sign	of	low	self-esteem.	It’s	not.	You	are	taking	a	major	step	toward	self-
compassion	by	looking	around	and	being	truthful	with	yourself.	Being	kind	to
yourself	requires	a	decision	to	embrace	change.	Self-judgment	keeps	us	from
loving	who	we	are	right	this	moment.	Every	step	you	take	to	walk	away	from
negative	reflections	is	a	step	in	the	direction	of	unconditional	love.
Radical	Beauty	asks	you	to	summon	your	inner	courage.	For	some	people,
opening	the	door	is	harder	than	it	is	for	others.	They	keep	feeling	the	tug	of
anxiety	or	threat,	and	their	mind	resists	the	prospect	of	change.	The	following
thoughts	are	typical	when	you	are	in	a	resisting	frame	of	mind:
I’m	alright	where	I	am.	Why	rock	th
e	boat?
If	I	change,	my	friends	and	family	won’t	accept	me	anymore.
Perhaps	my	experiences	aren’t	even	real—I’m	just	fooling	myself.
I’m	not	the	kind	of	person	who	ever	changes—it’s	just	wishfulthinking.
I	don’t	want	to	stick	out	from	the	crowd.	Society	will	look	on	me
as	abnormal.
This	kind	of	resistance	crops	up	in	everyone,	because	we	all	have	a
social	self.
Your	social	self	is	where	judgments	come	from,	and	if	you	don’t	see	yourself	as
beautiful,	it’s	the	reason	why.	This	self	has	learned,	often	through	painful	trial
and	error,	how	to	get	along.	Fitting	in	isn’t	easy,	and	in	every	life	there	are
guardians	of	the	rules	who	will	be	quick	to	notice	anyone	who	dares	to	break
them.	We	are	referring	to	rules	of	behavior,	which	have	been	ingrained	in
everyone	since	early	childhood.	So	how	do	you	get	past	the	warning	voices	in
your	head?	You	can’t	open	the	door	to	your	true	self	until	this	happens.
Reassuring	yourself	that	everything	will	be	okay	isn’t	an	effective	tactic.	Your
social	self	has	deep	roots;	it	is	used	to	guiding	you	through	every	daily
encounter,	constantly	monitoring	whether	your	behavior	is	safe	and	acceptable.
(For	the	moment	we	are	leaving	aside	the	small	band	of	misfits,	artists,	rebels,
sages,	and	saints	whose	behavior	transgresses	social	norms.	Such	people	often
lead	extraordinary	lives,	but	they	also	tend	to	pay	extraordinarily	high	prices,
too.)
You	need	to	recognize	that	you	have	been	influenced	by	years	of
conditioning;
therefore,	to	escape	this	conditioning,	it’s	necessary	to	substitute
new,	positive	beliefs	for	the	warnings	that	try	to	keep	you	from	opening	the
door.	Here	are	some	examples:
Warning:
	I’m	alright	where	I	am.	Why	rock	the	boat?
New	thought:
	I	can	keep	what’s	good	in	my	life.	The	changes	I	want	will
only	add	to	them.
Warning:
	If	I	change,	my	friends	and	family	won’t	accept	me	anymore.
New	thought:
	If	I	bring	more	light	into	my	life,	at	the	same	time	I	will	be
bringing	it	to	my	family	and	friends.	They	will	welcome	the	change.
Warning:
	Perhaps	my	experiences	aren’t	even	real—I’m	just	fooling	myself.
New	thought:
	I	can’t	deny	that	my	experiences	make	me	feel	good.	That’s
real	enough	to	make	me	trust	them.
Warning:
	I’m	not	the	kind	of	person	who	ever	changes—it’s	just	wishful
thinking.
New


 for a short
time and then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat
on the other side of the body.
Note: This is a very important asana and should be practiced
at least once every day.
Breathing: Exhale while twisting the trunk, breathe as
deeply as possible without strain in the final pose, and inhale
while returning to the starting position.
Duration: When the spinal muscles are flexible enough,
maintain the pose for at least 1 minute on each side of the
body. 69
Concentration: On the ajna chakra.
Benefits: The spinal nerves are toned, and the back muscles
and intervertebral joints are made supple. Digestive ailments
are removed through massage of the abdominal organs. The
asana regulates the secretion of adrenaline from the adrenal
glands and also activates the pancreas, thus counteracting dia
betic tendencies. Nerves originating in the back are toned,
and lumbago and muscular rheumatism are relieved. The
entire nervous system is stimulated by this asana. Slipped in
tervertebral discs (including vertebral displacements) may
also be corrected.
Simplified variation for beginners:
People with very stiff bodies who find ardha matsyen-
drasana impossible to do should extend the leg normally
folded under the buttocks straight in front of the body. Other
wise the technique is exactly the same as in standard ardha
matsyendrasana. When the body becomes supple enough,
one should proceed to the full posture, as the effects are
much greater.
(14) Bhu Namanasana (Spinal twist prostration pose) 70
Sit with the spine erect and the legs extended forward.
Place both hands by the side of the left hip. Twist the trunk
90° to the left. Bend the upper body and touch the nose to the
ground. The buttocks should not rise. Raise the trunk and the
head and return to the starting position.
Breathing: Inhale in the starting position; exhale while bend
ing the trunk, and inhale on the return.
Duration: Practice up to ten times on each side.
Concentration: Either focus the mind on the breath, or else
consciously relax the back muscles.
Benefits: The spine and lower back are stretched, loosening
the muscles and stimulating the spinal nerves.
This concludes the description of the spine-twisting
asanas. The following is an asana for adjusting the cervical
area.
(15) Neck Movement
1. Sit with the legs extended and the hands on the floor by
the thighs. Slowly tilt the head to the back, then to the front.
Repeat ten times. 71
2. While facing forward, slowly tilt the head to the left,
then to the right. Repeat ten times.
3. In the same position, tilt the head forward, at the same
time turning it to the left and right. Or, keep the head erect
while turning it to the left and right. Repeat either ten times.
4. Slowly rotate the head in as large a circle as possible
without strain, ten times in each direction.
Benefits: The neck is a vital crossroads in the body. All the
nerves connecting the different parts of the body with the
brain must pass through it. Therefore, regular neck exercises
help to maintain overall health by adjusting the cervical
vertebrae, and normalizing the functioning of the systems in
the cervical and cephalic region.
Group 3:
The asanas for meditation
(1) Padmasana
(Lotus pose)
Sit with the legs extended forward. Bend one leg, placing
the foot on top of the other thigh with the sole upward and
the heel touching the pelvic bone. Fold the other leg so that
the foot rests in a similar position on the opposite thigh. 72
Note: Practice padmasana together with jnana mudra or
chin mudra (See p. 96 Chapter IV). In this asana, the spine
must be held straight and completely steady, as if fixed to the
ground. A low cushion under the buttocks will make this
asana easier to perform. Practice padmasana after the legs
have become supple through practice of the preliminary
asanas described before.
Limitations: People with sciatica or sacral infections
should not practice this asana.
Benefits: Practitioners who have mastered padmasana can
hold the body completely steady for long periods of time.
Steadiness of the body brings steadiness of mind, and this
steadiness is the first step toward productive meditation.
This asana helps to direct the proper flow of prana from the
muladhara chakra to the sahasrara. In addition, the coc
cygeal and sacral nerves are toned by the infusion into the
abdominal and back regions of large amounts of blood which
normally flow into the legs. Physical, nervous, and emo
tional problems are effectively cleared up.
(2) Siddhasana (Male accomplished pose) 73
Sit with the legs extended forward. Fold the right leg and
place the sole flat against the inside of the left thigh. The heel
should press against the perineum, the area between the
genitals and the anus. Fold the left leg and place the foot on
the right calf, pressing the pelvic bone just above the genitals
with the left heel. Thrust the toes and outer side of the left
sole into the groove between the right calf and the thigh
muscles. It may be necessary to slightly shift the right leg for
this; grasp the right toes and pull them upward, placing them
between the left thigh and calf. The legs should now be locked
with the knees on the ground and the left heel directly
above the right heel. Hold the spine erect, as straight and
firm as a tree rooted in the ground.
Note: Siddhasana is only for men. It can be practiced with
either leg on top, and always with jnana or chin mudra (see
Chapter IV). Many people - especially beginners - find it
easier to assume and maintain this asana for long periods
when a cushion is placed under the buttocks.
Limitations: Persons with sciatica or sacral infections
should not practice this asana.
Benefits: Siddhasana is a meditation pose which facilitates
spinal steadiness for long and deep meditation. It activates
the two sexually-related psychomuscular locks, mula bandha
(See p. 90) and vajroli mudra, which redirect sexual impulses
back up the spinal cord to the brain. The practitioner can
thus gain the control over sexual functions that is essential to
the maintenance of celibacy and the sublimation of sexual
energy for spiritual purposes, as well as control over sensory
activity. The entire nervous system is also calmed.
(3) Siddha yoni asana (Female accomplished pose)
Sit with the legs extended forward. Fold the right leg, plac
ing the sole flat against the inside of the left thigh and the
heel under the labia majora. Bend the left leg and pull the
right toes up into the space between the left calf and thigh.
Hold the spine fully erect as if it were rooted in the earth. 74
Notes: Siddha yoni asana is a form of siddhasana for
women that has been handed down only by word of mouth.
Practice with either leg on top and with either jnana or chin
mudra. It is most effective when underwear is not worn.
Beginners will find this pose easier to maintain for long
periods if a low cushion is used under the buttocks.
Limitations: Women with sciatica or sacral infections
should not practice this asana.
Benefits: Siddha yoni asana is an excellent meditation pose
in which the female aspirant can maintain the physical
steadiness necessary for deep concentration. It may be used
effectively by the yogini to aid spiritual meditation, and by
the householder wishing to control sexual desire. It directly
affects the nervous plexuses controlling the genital organs,
and also serves to tone and balance the entire nervous
system.
(4) Baddha yoni asana
Sit in any meditation asana and inhale slowly and deeply.
Retain the breath and raise both hands to the face. Close the
ears with the thumbs, the eyes with the index fingers, the
nostrils with the middle fingers, and the mouth by placing
the ring and small fingers above and below the lips. Concen-75
trate on the bindu visargha at the back of the head (See
Chapter VIII, p. 234), maintaining the breath retention, and try
to perceive any ordinarily inaudible manifestation of sound.
After holding the breath for as long as is comfortable,
remove the middle fingers from the nostrils and exhale while
keeping the other fingers in their respective positions. Inhale
again and close the nostrils with the middle fingers. Repeat
the process several times.
Concentration: On the bindu visargha.
Benefits: This is an excellent asana for withdrawing the
mind from the external world. Many different philosophies
as well as the science of yoga teach that the source of the
universe is a primordial, unceasing sound or vibration. This
asana makes possible awareness of the different manifesta
tions of this sound


 K. G. Pandit1s Experiences : Shri K,. G, Pandit w~~' afil.
Engineer at.the Bhillai steel Plant. Now.from his own experience he:
has begun to propagate for spreading.. the ma~sage of auto"urine;
therapy. He is now manager of Auto~urine Research Centre and
Clinic, Raipur, (Madhya Pradesh). At his suggestion several workers
at the Bhillai plant have healed their injuries by wa~hing with urine
and putting urine packs on them in short times of two or three days.
Cricket Captain of Bhillai Shri Madan Joshi has found that
drinking urine and urine massage has proved as tonic during his
hard days of n:atches or even practice.,,
Innumerable patients on his advice have relied on drinking urine:
and light diet to cure themselves of ailments like gastric trouble,
dysentery, diarrhoea, indigestion and even headache, within a short
time.
After 15 years of his own and others experiences, Shri K; G.'
Pandit has come to this conclusion that by taking a couple of days1
tast with three or four daHy doses of fresh urine and massage with
old urine and strict adherence to diet, influenza and malaria can be
removed immediately.
Shri K. G. Pandit is a devoted canvasser d,f auto-urine therapy. He
is in a sense making good the loss of the late Dr. Paragjibhai Desai
by this new therapy. His experience is :
11He was sick ·when he was -QO. His digestive· system and
circulatory system had almost gone ourof-erder: For about two years
be tried allopathy, homoeopathy and Ayurved o/ithout any benef.jt;; ·
So he turned to drinking auto-urine and mass~ge with 7 ·days1 old
urine. Within two weeks he was considerab.ly cured.!lnd in a
month1s time he was entirely free illness.11 •
Bleeding Piles : In every summer he had to walk for ten miles SOME VIEWS : 247.
daily in the hot region of the Berar districts of Akola and AmaradL.
This used to result iri hardness of the stools. This ultimately have him
the dread disease of bleeding piles. So he returned toNagpur, took
three.daystfast on urine and water and took ene.ma with lukewarm ·~.
water. He took urine thrice a day and enema every third day. Withi:n
three days piles subsided (>feeding also stopped. Within a fortnight
piles were, sompletely cured.
Cataract in Eyes : In 1967 when he was examined by an eye
surgeon.he found that both the eyes were having cataract. He
decide.don a ten day urine fast. After five days blood-pressure was
found t0 have come down. On his wife1S insistence, therefore, he.
brQke the fast by resuming milk, buttermilk and orange juice. He
continued to drink urine thrice daily and even urine massage. After a
week he began normal food.
Then he got himself examined by the same doctor. The latter was
swpris.ed to find that the cataract had become reduced. Since then.
he has contin~::~ed to wash his eyes with fresh L:Arine and thus could
resume his week of writing and reading.
Rheomatism : lh 1975 he took there days1 fast with urine to
rheumatic pain in his knees and left shoulder. Rheumatism was
completely cured and the cataract also was reduced;
In 1976 again the same doctor examined and found that there
was no need of an operation to remove· cataract.
He take~ 'every morning a full number of urine as he thinks it to
be a prevaritl~e medicine against all diseases, washes eyes with
fresh urine thrice and massages with a week -old urine before taking
his bath.

 recent study at the Pacific Medical Center of Presbyterian Hospital in
San Francisco showed that music eased anxiety, stress, and pain in children
and adults during the traumatic procedure of cardiac catheterization. Young
children responded best to nursery rhymes, Peter and the W olf, or Sesame
Street songs. Older children and teenagers were calmer with rock music,
while adults had other favorites.
However, biokinesiologists have found that loud rock music can be
weakening, and I do not suggest it for the operating room. Music should
serve to calm both the patient and the staf f, helping them deal with stress. In
the operating room, it should focus everyone’ s attention on the fact that
there is a living person being operated on. It should help the staf f relate to
that person as though he were awake, rather than distracting them from the
surgery. I find that spiritual music and the baroque lar go movements
recommended in Superlearning, by Sheila Ostrander and L ynn Schroeder,
are most ef fective for these purposes. I encourage patients to use tapes of
whatever music they find most relaxing or healing, in order to adapt the
hospital environment to a healing environment. I also refer you to The
Healing Ener gies of Music, by Hal Lingerman, for specific needs. Daniel
Kobialka’ s versions of classical pieces are excellent too.
I’ve learned what kinds of music are appropriate, and I vary the type
according to the sur gical situation. I often tease the students by telling them
I have specific music to stop bleeding. Sometimes the patient’ s response
leads to an unexpected note of humor. I enjoy spiritual music, and one
afternoon, while I was working on a man under spinal anesthesia, the tape
came to “Amazing Grace.” The patient’ s head popped up, and he asked, “Is
anything wrong down there?” We all laughed and said no. He said, “W ell,
I’m Irish, and if you’ll sing ‘When Irish Eyes are Smiling,’  I’ll feel better.”
We did, and he enjoyed the performance. One patient, listening to harp
music just before the operation began, said, “It’ s a good thing I heard that
while I’m awake. If I woke up and heard it, I wouldn’ t know where I was.”
Another day a patient under local anesthesia started laughing and said,
“Most appropriate,” while I was removing a lar ge benign tumor. In the
background Frank Sinatra was singing “Why Not Take All of Me.”DUAL  CONTROL
Participation in the decision-making process, more than any other
factor, determines the quality of the doctor -patient relationship. The
exceptional patient wants to share responsibility for life and treatment, and
doctors who encourage that attitude can help all their patients heal faster.
The value of participation has been borne out in two re cent studies of
children. At the University of Wisconsin Medical School Dr. Charlene
Kavanagh compared a group of severely burned children who received
standard nursing care with another group who were taught to change their
own dressings. Those who had an active role needed less medication and
had fewer complications. In Palo Alto, California, a group of asthmatic
children were taught about their disease and the drugs used to control it, and
encouraged to decide for themselves when they needed medication. They
missed far fewer school days and their average rate of emer gency-room
visits dropped from one a month to one every six months.
Furthermore, shared responsibility increases cooperation and reduces
the resentments that often lead to malpractice suits. Second-guessing and
recrimination are unlikely when decisions are based on a mutual assessment
of what is right for the patient now, not on predictions about the
unknowable future. I don’ t want any of my patients going under anesthesia
without feeling that I am doing for them what they wanted done. (However,
when certain patients seem likely to be angry at themselves if something
goes wrong in the future, based upon their decision, I may suggest they give
me more control. I would rather have them mad at me than at themselves.
I’ve done my best, so I can handle their anger.)
Sometimes, when people are subconsciously not sure they want to live,
they shy away from the most ef fective treatment or have so many side
effects that it must be stopped. Even when they desperately want to live,
they may still disagree with the doctor, who must then fight the impulse to
withdraw or coerce. A physician who tries to guarantee the future often
pressures the patient into a particular course of treatment, setting them both
up for recriminations and feelings of failure if the disease is not cured.
On the other hand, when a patient chooses a form of therapy out of
conviction, while accepting the fact that death is inevitable someday, that
patient will never be a failure and never regret the decision. The physician
must remember that it’ s the patient who must make the choice and then live
with it.It’s the physician’ s duty to accept all patients—though not necessarily to
support all their choices. A physician has a right to say, “I can’ t agree with
what you’re doing and don’ t want to participate in it.” The sad part is that
that kills a lot of people, because they then never go back to a physician. I
generally tell such patients, “I don’ t agree with what you’re doing, or if I
had your illness I wouldn’ t choose your plan of treatment, because I don’ t
think you have the best chance of being successful with it, but I will
continue to keep a relationship with you, if you wish, and help in any way I
can.”
Then, if they find that their choice is not productive, they will say, “I
know you care about me, because you’ve kept up the relationship. Will you
go ahead and operate on me?” There’ s no other way a doctor can maximize
hope while leaving open a way for the patient later to adopt the treatment
recommended by the doctor. Up to this point one hundred percent of my
patients have accepted chemotherapy, radiation, or sur gery when I have
accepted them, even those who initially attempted self-healing and rejected
the medical profession. Even those whose initial of fice visit began with
“never talk to me like a doctor! If you do I won’ t come back.”
Acceptance by the physician can help a patient achieve healing and
peace, as shown in the case of Bridget, an English woman who had recently
moved to New Jersey. Under the English medical system, she’d been
assigned a physician, and she didn’ t like him so she never went back. She
had a tumor the size of a melon taking the place of her left breast. I
examined her and listed the things I thought could help her, from sur gery to
God. She said, “Y ou’re the first doctor who hasn’ t screamed and yelled at
me, and said, ‘Where have you been? Why didn’ t you come sooner? Why
have you been so stupid? What is wrong with you?’” I told her that’ s not
my role. My job is simply to accept patients and try to help them.
I had Bridget draw pictures, which showed unconscious positive
attitudes toward radiation and chemotherapy, although consciously she
resisted both at first. Several months later she called to tell me that she had
started chemotherapy and the tumor had melted away. Her response was so
dramatic that her oncologist didn’ t even think she would need radiation. My
acceptance of Bridget’ s condition had enabled her to accept what the
medical profession had to of fer.
Some sur geons insist on running the whole show, how ever. They even
prohibit their patients from using Reach to Recovery (a post-op emotionaland physical therapy program) after mastectomy. They have no right to do
so, but some physicians try to take char ge of a patient’ s life as well as the
technical details of treatment, like a grownup dominating a child—and the
sad truth is that many patients let them. Physicians are created as much by
their patients as by their training, and most patients want to give up all
decisions to the omnipotent father figure. The exceptional patient fights for
responsibility but is punished for this act of survival because he represents a
minority of the patients seen by the doctor. As Kostoglotov, the former
concentration camp inmate in Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’ s Cancer W ard,
complained to his physician:

No sooner does a patient come to you than you begin to do all his
thinking for him. After that, the thinking’ s done by your standing orders,
your five-minute conferences, your program, your plan and the honor of
your medical department. And once again I become a grain of sand, just as I
was in the camp. Once again nothing depends  on me.

Critics of modern medicine like to point out the numerous times the
death rate has plummeted during doctors’  strikes—1976 in Los Angeles, the
same year in Bogotá, and 1973 in Jerusalem, for example. They usually say
something simplistic, like “Medical care is hazardous to your health.” More
likely, patients suddenly realize that they have to start looking out for
themselves, make their own decisions, as they should have been doing all
along, and that is what keeps them alive longer. Several years ago there was
a strike of ambulance drivers on Cape Cod

with Fruit, Stem, Leaf,
Rhizome and Flower
By Dr. M.S. Krishnamurthy MD (Ayu), Ph.D.
Y
Diﬀerent parts of banana tree – ripe fruit, unripe fruit, leaves, tender leaf,
rhizome and ower are used as remedies and dishes. Apart from its nutritional
value it has quite a lot of preventive and curative health benets too.
Banana Ripe Fruit Remedy for Cold and Allergy
e fruit is peeled and inner pulp is taken.
is is incised and in the incised area 2–3 long pepper fruits or 10–12
pepper seeds are placed and wrapped. is is kept in a tray and exposed to the
moon light by keeping it over the terrace during night (especially on full moon
day).
Next day morning, it is consumed on empty stomach. Procedure is repeated
daily for 10–12 days. It helps to reduce the incidences of seasonal cold,
rhinitis, cough etc. In few tropical eosinophilia cases also its good eﬀect is
experienced by me.
In Maharashtra this kind of practice is found by folklore.
Banana Peel Remedy for Abscess
Banana skin is cooked with lime water (calcium hydroxide). Further this is
macerated well and ne paste is made. is paste is applied over abscess(externally, leaving out the opening/punctum of the abscess). is practice
helps to mature the abscess easily. It enables quicker pus formation, which is
later drained out by incision.
Banana Unripe Fruit Remedy for Chickenpox Scars
Unripe fruit (as being used for vegetable) skin is taken and it is burnt. e
black colored charred substance hence obtained is mixed with turmeric paste
and applied over the lesions of chicken pox. is helps to reduce the scars and
discoloration.
Banana Flower Remedy for Gastritis
One stful of ower is taken and 1 cup of water is added. It is crushed or put
in mixer and fresh juice is extracted.
To this, 1 tablespoon of honey is added and consumed early in the morning.
is reduces gastritis as well as heaviness of the body.
In few of the individuals it may cause tastelessness (anorexia) and in such a
case 1 spoon of cumin seed is added to this juice.
Banana Stem Tube for Urinary Calculi
Daily intake of 15–20 ml fresh juice of the tube helps to reduce the chances of
occurrences of urinary stones. It is useful in treating burning urination as well.
Banana Rhizome for White Discharge (Leucorrhoea)
e rhizome (root part) – 100 grams is cooked well by adding 50 grams of
jaggery. en it is made into ne paste.
To this paste, a teaspoon of ghee is added and constantly stirred in mild
intensity of heat till we get semisolid consistency (paste). Later it is taken out
of the re and on self cooling little honey is added and mixed thoroughly.
is can be kept for 2–3 months.5–10 Grams of this linctus is taken along with food daily (similar to a fruit
jam). is is a very good nutritive and rejuvenator and anti ageing. is is
eﬀective in non specic leucorrhoea cases.

and meat. The use of bicarbonate of soda to relieve
this condition is unwise and shortsighted, as this
inorganic material may in course of time lodge in
the region of the brain and damage it. It then may
manifest as a silver-gray crescent in the upper part
of the iris of the eye. To help correct acidosis, read
the chapter on Spinach Juice, page 54. Acidosis may
also result from mental disturbances such as
resentments, worry, anger, fear, jealousy, frustration,
etc. The first prerequisite to help clear up this
condition is to develop a placid mind and to learn
to RELAX!
ACNE, Pimples, etc.:
Impurities in the body trying to be eliminated 61 1 55
through the skin. One of the manifestations of
acidosis. We would refrain from using salves and
ointments, drugs of any kind, and X-ray, using
instead natural methods to remove the cause.
86 ADDISON'S DISEASE:
The result of lack of vital organic sodium 3 6 12
principally, and an excess of waste matter in the (Romaine
system generally, affecting the adrenal glands. The lettuce only)
injection of extracts from the glands of dead cattle 25 74 80
cannot cure this condition. We have, however, seen
much benefit derived from a high sodium and low
potassium raw diet rigidly adhered to. Romaine
lettuce is particularly beneficial. See section on this
vegetable on page 46.
ADENOIDS:
Inflammation or enlargement of pharyngeal, 61 1
tonsil, or adenoid tissue, due to excessive mucus in
the system and waste matter in the lower intestines,
as a result of drinking cow's milk and eating too
many, starchy and sugary foods.
ALBUMINURIA: 61 30 29 1
Albumin present in the urine. 40 59
ALLERGY:
The physical discomfort or irritation due to 61 30 1
excessive retention of waste in the system when food
is eaten which has the effect of stirring up toxins in
the body. Allergy to strawberries, for example, means
that this fruit may stir up poisons which manifest,
sometimes, as hives.
ANEMIA:
Deficiency of red blood corpuscles or of the red 61 68 2 28
coloring matter of the blood, caused by prolonged 30 25 29 31
habit of eating foods in which the calcium and other 46 55 48 85
atoms have been devitalized, such as canned foods,
starches, and pasteurized milk. The use of liver
extract, whether orally or by injection, was once upon
a time considered a cure; due to the damage these
extracts do to the kidneys, many victims were found
to develop Bright's disease sooner or later.
ANGINA PECTORIS:
Valvular or muscular heart trouble resulting from 61 2 30
impurities in the blood stream, but frequently found
to be the result of gas pressure in the colon.
87 APHONIA:
Loss of the power of articulation in speech. 61 1 48 53
APOPLEXY:
Stroke of paralysis, the result of blood pressure 61 62 2 28
in the brain, caused by impurities in the blood 39
vessels—such, for example, as the inorganic calcium
from eating excessive amounts of starches and rich
foods over a period of years. Impactions in the lower
intestines, with the consequent absorption of toxins
from these, have been found to be one of the
contributing causes. Repeated enemas, daily, and a
strictly fresh raw diet with at least 2 quarts of juices
daily have proved of inestimable value.
APPENDICITIS:
Inflammation of the appendix resulting from the 1 2 30 61
excessive accumulation and retention of waste matter
in the colon. The appendix is a gland, the secretion
of which is intended to neutralize excessive
putrefaction and pathogenic bacterial action in the
colon, or large intestine, which might have injurious
repercussion in the small, or digestive intestine. To
avoid unnecessary surgery, satisfactory results have
been obtained by colonic irrigations, where
available, and enemas in any case, at 15 to 30 minute
intervals, until the elimination of waste matter
removed danger and pain. Consult a doctor familiar
with Nature's purpose in furnishing us with this
protective gland.
ARTERIES, ARTERIOSCLEROSIS, etc.:
The result ofdeficiency of vital organic calcium 61 2 80 28
and excess of inorganic calcium in the diet causing 55
the blood vessels to lose elasticity and causing blood
to coagulate in the veins. Inorganic calcium deposits
convert the elastic walls of blood vessels into solid
tubes. Nature can remedy this condition, but only
with the utmost and unreserved cooperation of the
victim.
ARTHRITIS:
Inorganic calcium deposits in the cartilage of the 22 61 6 37
joints as a result of eating concentrated 30
carbohydrates in excess. See special chapter on this
subject.
88 ASTHMA:
Extreme difficulty in breathing due to raucous 61 11 37 60
accumulation in the bronchial tubes. Victims who 41
have followed Nature's principles have had no
difficulty relieving themselves of this punishment
caused by eating and drinking mucus-forming foods.
Once relieved completely of asthma, one can readily
get it back again, if he so desires, by simply eating
plenty of white bread dairy products and drinking
plenty of cow s milk. In fact, almost any kind of
concentrated carbohydrates and dairy products,
cheese, etc., will oblige by inviting this enemy to
return. Allergy tests, drug panaceas, blood and
sputum studies, and environment investigations are
as a rule extremely useful—in making matters worse.
The CAUSE of asthma is the presence of mucus.
Read the section on Horseradish.
ASTIGMATISM:
A disfunction in vision due to the imperfect 1 61 30 50
condition of the eye as a result of vital organic


 generation of patients, who received the full AZT load (1500 mg a day). At
the end, he looked like a bone rack, and he died in London on 24 November 1991 at
the age of 45.293
The Russian Rudolph Nureyev, held by many to be the greatest ballet dancer of
all time, also began taking AZT at the end of the 1980s. Nureyev was HN positive,
141 Chapter 3
but otherwise he was completely healthy. His personal physician, Michel Canesi,
recognized the deadly effects of AZT and even warned him about the drug. But
Nureyev proclaimed, "I want that drug!" Ultimately, he died in Paris in 1993294_the
same year that former Wimbledon champion Arthur Ashe met his maker at the age
of 36, after he had been declared HIV positive in 1988 and his doctor prescribed for
him an extremely high AZT dose.295
At some point, Ashe discussed AZT's toxicity. In October 1992, he wrote a column
for the Washington Post. "The confusion for AIDS patients like me is that there is a
growing school of thought that HIV may not be the sole cause of AIDS, and that
standard treatments such as AZT actually make matters worse," Ashe acknow ledged,
adding, "there may very well be unknown co-factors, but that the medical
establishment is too rigid to change the direction of basic research and/or clinical
trials."296 Ashe wanted to stop taking AZT, but he didn't dare: "What will I tell my
doctors?" he asked the New York Daily News.297
Bask etball Star "Magi c" Joh nson: "Ther e Is No Magic
in AZT, and No AZT in 'Magic"'
What Ashe didn't have the heart to do-resist the pressure of prevailing AIDS
medicine and decide against AZT intake-appare ntly saved the life of basketball
megastar Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
At the end of 1991, Magic shocked the world with the news he had tested HIV
positive. "It can happen to anybody, even Magic Johnson," said Time magazine on
18 November 1991.298 A few days later, Time wrote that the basketball player had
"put the risk of heterosexual transmission squarely in center court." But what was
the basis of this assumption? Nothing at all, for the American magazine -just like the
rest of the media world-simply referred to Johnson's mere conjecture that he had
"picked up the AIDS virus heterosexually," that is to say through sex with a
woman. 299
Evidence to support this statement is not available. Magic Johnson had tested
positive, but at the same time, he was the picture of health-until "AIDS ruier"
Anthony Fauci and his personal doctor, the New York AIDS researcher David Ho,
insistently advised him to take AZT. Johnson followed their advice.
But Magic's health rapidly deteriorat ed,300 so much, in fact, that he felt "like
vomiting almost every day," according to a 1991 National Enquirer story "Magic
Reeling as Worst Nightmare Comes True-He's Getting Sicker."301 But virus mania
was by then so dominant that nobody thought that the extremely toxic medications
could have caused Magic's serious health problems.
142 AIDS: From Spare Tire to Multibillion-Dollar Busi ness
"Magic Johnson: My AIDS Conf ession. The Olympic Superstar About His Life, His Women, His
Ailment," Stern 44/1992.
143 Chapter 3
There was not a lot of time to think about it anyway, as Johnson's symptoms
suddenly disa ppeared after a short time. In the summer of 1992, after the media
announced his retirement from basketball in late 199P02, he even led the US
basketball team to the gold medal at the Olympic games in Barcelona.3 03 This was a
grandiose achievement, and had he still been under the influence of AZT, there was
no way he could have accomplished such a thing.
One assumes, then, that Magic only took AZT for a very short time; when he
discontinued the medication with the deadly side effects, his complaints likewise
disappeared. Indeed, years later, in 1995, he admitted in a personal conversation in
Florida that he had only taken AZT for a very short time. The medications were
connected with far too severe side effects. And so came the saying, "There is no
magic in AZT, and no AZT in 'Magic. "'304
But AIDS drug manufacturers also play a highly competiti ve game in an
increasingly marketing-driven industry. For several years GlaxoSmithKiine (GSK)
used "Magic" Johnson to spread its miracle cur� messages especially among urban
blacks. The basketball star's image is splashed on billboards, subway posters and
full-page ads in newspapers and magazines. The ads picture a robust-looking
Johnson and feature messages such as, "Staying healthy is about a few basic things:
A positive attitude, partnering with my doctor, taking my medicine every day."305
Those ads are now gone because Johnson got a better offer from Abbott and is now
promoting another combination AIDS drug, Kaletra.
However, this does not necessarily mean that Johnson himself is taking these
highly toxic drugs. As outlined, the opposite is obviously true. Magic is the poster
boy for HIV positive heterosexuals and he's a spokesman for a drug manufacturer, so
he has a financial conflict of interest that may disallow him from revealing if he is
really taking GSK's Combivir or Abbott's Kaletra and, if so, how much drug he's
really taking. "Johnson has not directly confirmed that he is taking the drugs he
pushes," says AIDS drugs researcher David Rasnick.
In October 2004, we approached the Magic Johnson Foundation to ask if the
basketball player has taken any AIDS medications since the Olympic triumph in
1992, and, if so, for how long. But, as of today, we have not received a response.
Hemophili acs and AID S
The publication of the Darby study in September 1995 in Nature also contributed
to the cementing of the belief that AIDS is a viral disease. In it, death rates of
hemophiliacs in England who had tested HIV positive were compared with those of
their HIV negative hemophiliac counterparts over a period from 1985 -1992. The
144 AIDS: From Spare Tire to Multibillion-Dollar Business
printed graph showed that the death rate of positive-tested hemophiliacs began to
rise from about 1986; in 1987 it rose even more sharply. In comparison, the graph
showing HN negative hemophiliacs remained practically unchanged (see diagrams
6 and 7). Orthodox medicine claimed that this was proof that these deaths were
caused by HN.306 307
But this study stirred up sharp criticism. Previously mentioned Australian
researcher Mark Craddock, for example, penned a decisive paper and submitted it
to Nature. But it was rejected-along with papers by Peter Duesberg30 8 and the
Australian Perth Group3°9-even though the logic behind their critiques is
impressive.
Hemophiliacs lack coagulation factor VIII and a replacement has been available
since the 1960s causing hemophiliacs' life expectancy to continuously rise until
1985, right when HN antibody tests were introduced. This is a decisive factor,
negligently missing from the Darby study.
The HN antibody tests introduced in 1985 were immediat ely and massively
deployed. At the same time, the whole world memorized the formula: positive test
= HN infection = AIDS = death sentence. Because of this, the rise in hemophiliacs'
death rates is easily explainable. Those who received a positive test result were put
into a state of shock and many committed suicide. The rest, regardless of their health
status, were automatically treated as AIDS patients.
Researchers and doctors tried out all sorts of toxic substances on them,
administering them long-term, including antif ungal medications or Eusaprim, an
antibiotic that hinders cell division. This also affected hemophiliacs who had tested
positive but otherwise didn't have any health problems-until they started taking the
toxic AIDS medications.
We can't be sure exactly which medications were administered to those declared
AIDS patients, since they weren't listed in detail, as Nature editor John Maddox
confirmed in 1995.310 But, the Spiegel reported in 1985 that, "more than a dozen
different medications are in clinical trials in the United States alone-all of them
have shown little success so far, and are burdened with severe side effects. Even
'HPA 23,' the substance favored by French scientists and developed at the Louis
Pasteur Institute, and with which Rock Hudson was treated last autumn, has its
difficulties. In Paris, a clinical study of 'HPA 23' is being carried out on 33 subjects;
but, the medication had to be discontinued with numerous patients because of
extreme blood and liver damage." 311
In 1987, AZT busted onto the market and all positive patients, including
hemophiliacs, immediately received the medication associated with fatal side
effects

Matt Moor e’s Enchiladas
One day, Engine 2 firefighter Matt Moore started talking about how he’d
just had an intense dream about a raging house fire. Since Matt seldom says
such things, it made us all think we were about to face a real burner.
We went on several calls that day, but none of them were fires. Then, at
6:30 that evening, as Matt was putting his enchiladas into the oven, the tone
sounded for a church fire on the East Side.
It turned out to be a tough call. After being on air, and doing salvage and
overhaul work for nearly thirty minutes in 100-degree heat, all of us were
sent to rehab. Scottie didn’ t look good—he was red in the face and his eyes
were bloodshot. EMS examined him and decided he was suf fering from
dehydration with a bit of heat exhaustion—nothing that a liter of fluid
couldn’ t remedy.
We had to endure snide comments from various firefighters about how
we needed to feed him more meat: “Give that boy a steak,” or “Put some
chicken broth in that IV.” At the debriefing, even the incident commandersaid, “W ell, nobody got hurt except Scottie Walters, and all he needs is a
little more protein.”
When we made it back to the station, after agreeing that sarcasm and
ignorance get a lot of people pretty far in this world, we finally got around
to eating. But before any of us took a bite, we all of fered a toast to Matt and
his tasty meat-free enchiladas, as well as his dreams.
Incidentally, this was originally my recipe, which Matt stole, perfected,
and made into his signature dish. He’ s not a fan of onions: When it’ s his
turn to cook, he avoids them like the plague. When I cook? Everything
starts with an onion.
Serve enchiladas with a starter salad.
Serves 6
16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
32 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
30 ounces fat-free, frozen hash brown potatoes
2 teaspoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
8 ounces canned diced green chilies
18 corn tortillas
3 16-ounce jars fat-free enchilada sauce (Whole Foods’  Religious
Experience is excellent)
12 sprigs cilantro, rinsed
Preheat oven to 425º. Sauté the mushrooms and spinach on medium heat
in a lar ge nonstick skillet for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft.
Drain the liquid, and remove to a lar ge bowl. Cook the potatoes on high
heat in a sprayed skillet for 10 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.
Sprinkle with cumin and chili powder. Gently combine the potatoes, green
chilies, mushrooms, and spinach. Line the bottom of a sprayed 9-by-13-inch
casserole with 6 tortillas. Place half of the vegetable mixture over the
tortillas and cover with one jar of sauce. Repeat the process: tortillas,
vegetables, sauce. Top with the remaining six tortillas and jar of sauce.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before serving.
Garnish with the cilantro sprigs.

E2 DRESSINGS, SPREADS, AND MARINADES
Dressings make or break a salad. I have yet to find a really good store-
bought salad dressing that can measure up to the tough E2 standards of
health and taste. So instead try our homemade recipes—they are delicious.
E2 Basics Dr essing
This is one of my favorite salad dressings. My wonderful friend Bridget,
who introduced me to the many wonders of vegetarian cooking, whipped it
up for me one night in 1996, and my salads have been grateful ever since.
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1 orange, lime, or lemon
1 tablespoon agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon wheat germ
Water to desired consistency
Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.
Dijon Dr essing
Our healthy version of a classic Dijon vinaigrette.
½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, diced
Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.Peanut Dr essing
One of Austin’ s veteran firefighters is nicknamed Peanut because when he
attended the fire academy at the age of nineteen, he was only 5 feet, 6
inches tall and he weighed 150 pounds. An instructor gave him the name
and it stuck. Over the next several years the man grew six inches and now
weighs close to 230 pounds. Everyone still calls him Peanut—even his
wife.
Here’ s a peanut dressing that’ s also hefty in terms of taste, kick, and fat.
Remember, nuts are nutritional powerhouses, but they’re not low-fat!
4 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup
Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.
Variations:
½ teaspoon chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper
Black pepper or crushed red pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
Sesame Seed Dr essing
This dressing is surprising in its hearty, satisfying flavor. An old Southern
favorite, this is just the ticket for topping fresh spinach.
3 tablespoons home-toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
Smidge of water
Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.
Orange Hummus Dr essing
Possibly the most delicious dressing of all.
3 tablespoons Healthy Homemade Hummus (see page 236)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons orange juice1 teaspoon mustard
½ teaspoon ginger, peeled and diced
Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.
Creamy Gr een Avocado Dr essing
This creamy avocado dressing is as smooth as silk and tantalizingly tasty.
¼ package Silken Lite tofu
1 avocado, peeled and seeded
Juice of ½ lime
Blend the ingredients together until smooth, adding a small amount of
soy milk or water to achieve desired consistency.
Beam Me Up, Scottie Dr essing
Fellow E2 firefighter and pal Scottie Walters invented this dressing with
three ingredients we found lying around the station. It has since become a
firehouse favorite.
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons any mustard
1 tablespoon agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup
Smidge of water
Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.
NOW  THA T YOU’RE LEA VING  mayonnaise and other disastrous condiments
behind, it’ s time to find healthy and suitable replacements. Many Engine 2
participants are convinced they would not have been successful if it weren’ t
for these healthy homemade spreads, which are easy to make and can be
used for sandwiches and wraps or as dips for chips, crackers, and
vegetables. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week. Each
recipe makes about 2 cups.
Black Bean Spr eadBlack beans are incredibly versatile. This spread is one of many ways black
beans make their presence felt in the E2 diet.
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons milk substitute
Juice of 1 small lime
Blend all the ingredients together until combined.
Variation:
To spice up your black bean spread, add to the above ingredients 1
tablespoon chili powder, 1 seeded and chopped jalapeño, and 1 small red
onion, sautéed on medium heat for 5 minutes.
Healthy Homemade Hummus
This is the most basic of the spreads. You can find a variation of this recipe
in almost any grocery store, but 95 percent of them are made with either
olive oil or tahini (sesame paste), which pushes up the fat content. Your best
bet is to take three minutes and make a batch on Sunday that will last you
for the week.
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Bragg Liquid Aminos or low-sodium tamari
3 tablespoons water or vegetable broth
Blend all the ingredients into a thick paste, using a small amount of
water as necessary to achieve desired consistency.
Variations:
Customize by adding one or more of the following:
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and chopped
1 roasted, seeded, and chopped red bell pepper1 cup dark or Kalamata olives
1 bunch fresh mint
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup cooked eggplant
Kale Butter
This spread was


, stirring with
a plastic spoon. What concentration is this? A tea spoon is
about 5 grams, a cup is about 230 ml (milliliters), therefore
the starting concentration is about 2½ (2.5) gm per 230 ml,
or.01 gm/ml (we will discuss the amount of error later).
2.Label one clean plastic spoon “water” and use it to put nine
spoonfuls of filtered water in a clean glass bottle. Use
another plastic spoon to transfer one spoonful of the.01
gm/ml salt solution in the cup measure to the glass bottle,
stir, then discard the spoon. The glass bottle now has a 1 in
10 dilution, and its concentration is one tenth the origi nal,
or.001 gm/ml.
3.Use the “water” spoon to put nine spoonfuls of  filtered
water in bottle #2. Use a new spoon to transfer a spoonful
of salt solution from bottle #1 to bottle #2 and stir briefly
(never shake). Label bottle #2 “.0001 gm/ml”.
4.Repeat with remaining bottles. Bottle #13 would therefore
be labeled “.000000000000001 gm/ml.” This is 10-15
gm/ml, or 1 femtogram/ml.
5.Do the skin test with water from bottle #13 as in Lesson
Five. If you can detect this, you are one hundred times as
sensitive as an ELISA  assay (and you  should  make  a bottle
#14 and continue if you are curious how good your
sensitivity can get). If you  can not, try to detect  water  from
bottle #12 (ten times as sensitive as ELISA). Con tinue until
you reach a bottle you can detect.
Calculate the error for your experiment by assuming you
could be off by as much as 10% when measuring the salt andBIOELECTRONICS
497water adding up to 20% error in each of the 13 dilutions. This is
a total error in bottle #13 of 280%, or at most a factor of 3. So
bottle #13 could be anywhere from 0.33 to 3 femtogram/ml. If
you can detect water from bottle #13, you are definitely  more
sensitive then an ELISA, in spite of your crude utensils and in-
expensive equipment! Note that the starting error of using 2.5 gm
instead of 2.3 gm only adds another 10% error.
If you want to calculate how many salt molecules  you can
detect, select the concentration at the limit of your detection, and
put 2 drops on a square inch of paper towel and rub into your
skin. Assume one drop can be absorbed. If you can detect water
from bottle #13, you have detected 510,000 molecules (10-15
fg/ml divided by 58.5 gm/M multiplied by 6.02x1023
molecules/M divided by 20 drops/ml). Water in bottle #12
would therefore have 10 times as many molecules in one drop,
and so forth. Even if your error is as much as a factor of 2
(100%), you can still get a good idea of what you can measure.
Atomic absorption standards  start at exact concentrations; it
is easy to make a more exact dilution series with them. When
testing for iridium  chloride  by this skin test method, I was able to
detect 3025 molecules!
Troubleshooting:
Always extend your set until you get a negative result (this
should happen by at least bottle #18). If you always “detect” salt,
then you shook  the bottle!
Never try to reuse a bottle if you spill when pouring into it.
Get another new bottle.
Sensitivity of Pollutant-In-Product Testing
Get some slides of Salmonellas  and Shigellas  and find some
milk that tests positive to at least one. Make a dilution series of
the milk up to bottle #14, being careful not to shake the bottles.
Start with 2 drops of milk in bottle #1. Use an eye  dropper toTHE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
498deliver 2 drops to subsequent bottles. Begin testing at bottle #14,
using the slide that tested positive. You will learn to search by
frequency later. My sensitivity was routinely around bottle #12,
for a variety of pathogens. It was the same for toxic ele ments
starting with standard solutions, about 1000 µg/ml, showing this
method is less sensitive than skin testing.
Microscopy Lesson
Purpose:  To observe  fluke stages in saliva and urine with a
microscope.
Materials:
a.A low power microscope. High power is not needed. A
total of 100x magnification is satisfactory for the four
common flukes, Fasciolopsis, sheep liver fluke, human
liver fluke  and pancreatic fluke.
b.Glass slides and coverslips.
c.A disposable eye  dropper.
Fig. 84 Microscope, slides and coverslips.BIOELECTRONICS
499d.For sanitation purposes (wiping table tops, slides, micro-
scope and your hands) a 50% to 70% alcohol solution (not
rubbing alcohol!) is best. Dilute 95% grain alcohol 7 parts
alcohol plus 3 parts water. Vodka or 76% grain alcohol
can be used undiluted.
e.Formaldehyde, 20%. Formaldehyde 37% is commonly
available at pharmacies. Dilute this with equal parts of
filtered water to get 18½%, which is close enough to 20%,
for the purpose of “fixing” (killing) the specimens. Store in
a glass bottle in the garage, away from sunlight. Label.
Specimens that are fixed properly do not lose their life-like
appearance.
fIodine solution. This is only useful for the urine speci mens.
Lugol’s  iodine  and tincture of iodine are both use ful. Ask a
pharmacist to prepare Lugol’s Iodine Solution  for you, as
follows:
•44 grams (1½ oz) iodine  crystals
•88 grams (3 oz) potassium  iodide crystals
Dissolve both in 1 liter (quart) filtered water. This ma y
take a day of frequent shaking.
Method for saliva:
1.Pour the 20% formaldehyde  into a small amber bottle or
other receptacle to a depth of about 1/8 inch. Keep tightly
closed.
2.The person to be tested is asked to salivate into th e bottle
so the organisms are immediately “fixed” without under-
going cooling first. The total volume should be about
double the original amount of formaldehyde  used. Make a
mark on the container so the subject knows how much to
produce. The resultant concentration of formaldehyde will
be about 10%.
3.Shake the bottle a few times. Set it aside for 24 hours to
settle (less if testing is urgent).THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
5004.With a dropper, draw up some of the bottom settlings. Put
one drop on a slide and apply a coverslip.
5.View under low power of microscope. Compare objects
you observe with specimens obtained on slides from bio-
logical supply companies.
Note: Persons with HIV  and moderate AIDS  will show about
one to ten parasite stages per slide. It requires several hours of
searching. Persons with HIV and severe AIDS show 10 or more
fluke stages per slide; this makes the task of finding them much
easier. Persons with terminal untreated cancer have many more
fluke stages than relatively well persons.
Method for urine:
1.Prepare bottles of formaldehyde  fixative ahead of time. Put
about ¼ to ½ inch of 20% formaldehyde in each. Keep
tightly closed.
2.Add freshly voided36 urine from cancer or HIV  sufferers  to
the formaldehyde  in approximately equal amounts, re sulting
in a 10% formaldehyde solution. Shake immedi ately. Let
settle several hours. The sediment has a higher number of
fluke stages. Cancer victims with cervical or prostate
cancer  will show higher numbers of stages in urine than
other cancer types.
3.Staining the slide is optional. It helps to outline fluke stages
slightly. Prepare Lugol’s  solution as described above.
Slides may be stained in either of these two ways:
•Put a drop of “fixed” urine on a slide. Add a drop of
50% Lugol’s  (dilute 1:1 with filtered water). Apply
coverslip.

Taking Pictures Of What You See

 jury or an
acquittal; he had prospered mightily since the days of Al Capone and held
sway over gambling, liquor, and prostitution rings well into his eighties
while miraculously suffering no harm at the hands of his rivals.  Looking at
his life, I would  be justified in feeling that a very bad person had gotten
away with everything. How would the theory of karma justify thinking
otherwise? The proof of karma doesn’ t lie in rewards and punishments
handed out by a cosmic judge. When people casually refer to “good karma”
or “bad karma,” they are confus ing karma with reward and punishment, but
the working of karma is much more profound.
Spirit would not be love if there was such a thing as good and bad karma,
because they apply only to the condition of separation. Spirit is not in
separation, and neither is God. The divine never punishes, for what would it
be punishing but itself? Nothing else exists. In our perception a Mafia capo
is a bad man; in divine perception he is equal with a saint.Our karm a throws us into the roles of saint and sinner, man and woman,
king and peasan t, but these roles are temporary and shifting. None of them
is really us. Spirit uses these roles the way a dramatist uses actors. As
convincingly as someone might play Hamlet, we don’t believe that he is
killed in the fifth act with a poisoned sword. Separating the role from the
reality is more difficult with our own roles in life. But the saint is just the
sinner in another guise, and the sinner only has to wait to assume the saint’ s
robes. Why do we play these roles? For experience, for growth, to find our
way back to God. Ultimately, all karma serves only two purposes: either it
is a sign of love from spirit or it is a lesson meant in love.
In the Vedic scriptures the word most often applied to karma is
“unfathomable.” Only if you understood every action in your life, no matter
how minute, could you clear away all karmic debts. This isn’t a fatalistic
statement; it merely points to the real source of freedom, which is within.
The pleasure of any outward attachment—to money, power, work, or
another person— can change to pain without warning. In spiritual terms
pleasure and pain are both binding; the potential for any action to bring
about suffering is why the ancie nt sages first wanted to break free from the
whole cycle of karma. Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita  declares that
anyone who lives for the outcome of action  is “pitiful,” doomed to suffer
from the “bonds of birth” and the “fear born of duality.” Karma is a wheel,
carrying us from goodness to evil, ignorance to understanding, pain to bliss,
over and over again.
In our culture, where the theory of karma is not widely accepte d even in
its Christian version, the existence of spiritual balance is rarely grasped.
You have to make a bargain with yourself to believe that mercy, grace, and
divine love can be experienced before you will perceive them. For anyone
on the spiritual path there is tremendous reward in finding that the promise
of etern al joy, peace, knowledge, and creativity is true. The truth isn’t
revealed all at once, but a day doesn’ t go by that one’s faith that love is a
real power isn’t reinforced. If you live according to the assumption that
there is a Way, the Way will be opened. This is what Christ meant when he
said, “Ask, and it shall be given you;... knock, and the door shall be
opened unto you.”
Karma can never be simply a system of r ewar d and punishment, since it is the way to love.Seen in its most profound depths, the path to love is the same for both
saint and sinner, since both must strip away any belief in the roles they are
temporarily playing. There is a famous mystical Christian text, The Cloud
of Unknowing, which dates from the fourteenth century. Its writer, who
remains anonym ous, says that loving God can never be loving anything you
can know or even locate. Love in the spiritual sense involves letting go of
all that is known:
Let go of this everywhere and this some thing, in exchange for this nowhere and this
nothing. Do not worry  if your senses cannot understand this nothing, for this is why I love it
the better.... Who is it that calls it nothing? Surely it is our outer man and not our inner
man. Our inner man calls it All.
This anonymou s mystic has touched upon the profound truth that the
thinking mind, immersed in “something” and searching “everywhere,”
cannot reach the divine. God is beyond karma, and therefore so is spirit,
since God is nothing but spirit on an all-embracing scale. The “outer man”
perceives the world very differently from the “inner man.” If I ask, “Who
am I?” one sort of answer involv es nothing but externals: I am a man, forty-
nine years old, born in India, who has practiced medicine in America, who
is married with two children, and so on. These are all karmic qualities, the
results of specific events or actions that pertain to me. They give me labels
that I can identify with.
Yet in some other, more profound way these qualities, even if you added
thousands more to the list, do not define me at all. Nothing anyone can
attach to me is actually me, not the me defined as inner essence, free will,
silent awareness, infinite potential, unbounded spirit. That me, the “inner
man,” stands outside bondage. It can be “felt rather than seen,” says our
medieval mystic, and is best described as a “cloud of unkno wing.” This
cloud is like a luminous glow in the heart, out of which a sense of the divine
emanates, yet in no way could the five senses capture it or the rational,
linear, cause-and-ef fect mind know it.
ALLOWING AND  CONTROL
If the theory of karma is valid, then nonattachment is the trues t expression
of love. I realize that this is very abstract. We can, however, restate things interms of everyday behavior and in the process bring the abstrac tions down
to earth. We all want to be allowed to do what we want; a rebellious
impulse rises in our hearts whenever someone tries to control us. These two
words, contr ol and allowing, are synonyms for attachment and
nonattachment. If you allow, you let others go in love; if you control, you
attach them instead to your own way of doing things, your own beliefs and
expectations. The issue at stake is psychologically very immediate, and it
figures into almost every relationship one way or another.
When one person is trying to control another in a relationship, he usually
doesn’ t admit what is going on. Instead, his motivations are made to look
like love. Isn’t it loving to protect your partner, look out for her interests,
oversee her wants and desires? For many people this passes  as genuine
love.
One example is a relationship in which the man insists on keeping all
knowledge about finances away from the woman. She is not allowed to see
the checkbook; the man’ s exact  income is kept vague; any attempt to earn
her own money is rejected or argued out of existence. Althoug h this was a
common arrangement in the past, women’ s self-respect has risen to the
point that any man who attempts to impose financial impotenc e is making
his intentions abundandy clear: he wants to control her.
The root of this kind of mascu line control appears to be a belief that
women are too childish, irratio nal, or superficial to handle money. (Of
course, sociologists have long ago dismissed such beliefs by showing that
women, if anything, have a more conservative and sober approach to
finances than men. No woma n has ever sunk a savings and loan or
bankrupted a national treasury.) But this attempt to focus on the woman’ s
shortcomings hides the man’ s deeper motive, which is his own anxiety that
without total financial control he cannot survive. There is almost always
another wrinkle, too, that without control of the purse strings he cannot hold
a woman’ s love, for controlling people deeply fear abandonment.
Imagine that such a man is told he has to surrender control by divulging
all his financial secrets to his wife, and in addition that she must share in
spending his money, taking a portion of it as her own, free and clear,
without his approval over what she does with it. This would be the most
direct way to confront his anxiety; it would expose the lack of love that hisbehavior is hiding. But imposing such a change wouldn’ t actua lly heal the
fear; that can only happen by a shift in consciousness.
Control is the way your ego “solves” the problem of fear. When ever any
of us falls into controlling behavior, one of the following scenarios is at
work in the unconscious:
We are afraid someone will reject us.
We are afraid of failing.
We are afraid of being wrong.
We are afraid of being powerless.
We are afraid of being destroyed.
None of these fears makes you a bad person, or
