	begins	to	“invite”	more	and	more	microbes	to	the
scene	of	injury	to	help	destroy	and	dispose	of	any	weak	and	damaged	cells.	We	call	this
“infection.”

Infection	is	a	normal	phenomenon	seen	everywhere	in	nature	whenever	there	is
something	that	needs	to	be	decomposed.	Bacteria	never	attack—that	is,	infect	something
—that	is	as	clean,	vital,	and	healthy	as	a	well-nourished	fruit	hanging	on	a	tree.	Only	when
the	fruit	becomes	overripe,	lacks	nourishment,	or	falls	to	the	ground	can	bacteria	begin
their	clean-up	job.	While	decomposing	food	or	flesh,	bacteria	produce	toxins.	You	can
recognize	these	toxins	by	their	unpleasant	odor	and	acidic	nature.	The	same	occurs	when
bacteria	act	on	improperly	digested	food	in	the	intestines.	If	this	situation	takes	place	day
after	day	and	month	after	month,	the	resulting	toxins	will	lead	to	symptoms	of	illness.

Thrush	indicates	the	presence	of	large	quantities	of	bacteria	that	have	spread	throughout
the	gastrointestinal	tract	(GI	tract),	including	the	mouth	area.	It	shows	up	in	the	mouth
because	the	mucus	lining	there	is	not	as	developed	and	resistant	as	in	the	lower	parts	of	the
GI	tract.	The	main	source	of	thrush,	though,	is	in	the	intestines.	Since	the	largest	part	of
the	immune	system	in	the	body	is	located	in	the	mucus	lining	of	the	GI	tract,	thrush
indicates	a	major	weakness	in	the	body’s	general	immunity	to	disease.

Herpes,	which	doctors	consider	a	viral	disease,	is	similar	to	thrush,	with	the	exception
that,	instead	of	bacteria	attacking	the	cell	exterior,	viral	materials	attack	the	nucleus,	or
cell	interior.	In	both	cases,	the	“attackers”	target	only	weak	and	unhealthy	cells—that	is,
cells	that	are	already	damaged	or	dysfunctional	and	are	susceptible	to	mutate	into
cancerous	cells.	Added	to	this	survival	drama,	gallstones	can	harbor	quantities	of	bacteria
and	viruses,	which	escape	the	liver	via	the	secreted	bile	and	affect	those	parts	of	the	bodythat	are	the	least	protected	or	already	weakened.	The	thing	to	keep	in	mind	is	that	germs
do
not
	infect	the	body	unless	it	requires	their	help.	The	intestinal	tract	needs	bile	to	keep
itself	neat	and	clean.	Lack	of	bile	in	the	intestines	prevents	this	from	happening.	The	next
best	solution	to	removing	harmful	waste	matter	is	to	employ	destructive	germs.

Gallstones	can	also	lead	to	other	problems	in	the	mouth.	They	inhibit	proper	bile
secretion,	which,	in	turn,	reduces	appetite	and	secretions	of	saliva	from	the	salivary	glands
in	the	mouth.	Saliva	is	required	to	cleanse	the	mouth	and	keep	its	tissues	soft	and	pliable.
If	not	enough	saliva	is	present,	destructive	bacteria	begin	to	invade	the	mouth	cavity.	This
can	lead	to
tooth	decay,	gum	destruction,
	and	other	tooth-related	problems.	However,	to
reiterate	the	previously	made	point,	bacteria	do	not	cause	tooth	decay.	These	germs	are
attracted	only	to	those	areas	in	the	mouth	that	are	already	congested,	undernourished,	and
acidified.

A
bitter	taste
	in	the	mouth	is	caused	by	bile	that	has	regurgitated	into	the	stomach	and,
from	there,	into	the	mouth.	This	condition	occurs	because	of	major	intestinal	congestion,
as	seen,	for	example,	during	bouts	of	constipation.	Instead	of	properly	moving	downward
and	out	of	the	body,	parts	of	the	intestinal	content	back	up,	which,	in	turn,	may	force	bile,
bacteria,	gas,	toxins,	and	other	irritating	substances	into	the	upper	regions	of	the	GI	tract.
Bile	in	the	mouth,	for	example,	drastically	alters	the	pH-value	(acid-alkaline	balance)	of
saliva,	which	inhibits	its	cleansing	action	and	makes	the	mouth	susceptible	to	infectious
germs.

A
mouth	ulcer
	in	the	lower	lip	indicates	a	similar	inflammatory	process	in	the	large
intestine.	A	repeated	occurrence	of	ulcers	(in	either	one	of	the	two	corners	of	the	mouth)
points	to	the	presence	of
duodenal	ulcers
	(also	see	the	following	section,
Diseases	of	the
Stomach
).
Tongue	ulcers,
	depending	on	their	location,	indicate	pockets	of	inflammation
in	corresponding	areas	of	the	alimentary	canal,	such	as	the	stomach,	small	intestine,
appendix,	or	large	intestine.
	Diseases	of	the	Stomach

As	already	indicated,	gallstones	and	subsequent	digestive	trouble	can	lead	to	regurgitation
of	bile	and	bile	salts	into	the	stomach.	Such	an	occurrence	adversely	changes	the
composition	of	gastric	juices	and	the	amount	of	mucus	generated	in	the	stomach.	The
mucus	is	there	to	protect	the	surface	stomach	lining	from	the	destructive	effects	of
hydrochloric	acid.	The	condition	where	this	protective	“shield”	is	broken	or	diminished	is
known	as
gastritis
.

Gastritis	can	occur	in	acute	or	chronic	form.	When	the	surface	cells	(epithelium)	of	the
stomach	are	exposed	to	acidic	gastric	juice,	the	cells	absorb	hydrogen	ions.	This	increases
their	internal	acidity,	counterbalances	their	basic	metabolic	processes,	and	causes	an
inflammatory	reaction.	In	more	severe	cases,	there	may	be	ulceration	of	the
mucosa
(peptic	or	gastric	ulcer),
	bleeding,	perforation	of	the	stomach	wall,	and
peritonitis
,
	a
condition	that	occurs	when	an	ulcer	erodes	through	the	full	thickness	of	the	stomach	or
duodenum	and	their	contents	enter	the	peritoneal	cavity.

Duodenal	ulcers
	develop	when	acid	leaving	the	stomach	erodes	the	duodenum’s	lining.
In	many	cases,	the	acid	production	is	unusually	high.	Eating	too	many	foods	that	require
strong	acid	secretions,	as	well	as	improper	food	combining	(for	more	details,	see
Timeless
Secrets	of	Health	and	Rejuvenation
	by	the	author),	often	disturb	balanced	acid	production.
Esophageal	reflux,
	commonly	known	as	“heartburn,”	is	a	condition	in	which	stomach
acid	washes	upward	into	the	esophagus	and	causes	irritation	or	injury	to	the	delicate
tissues	lining	the	esophagus.	Contrary	to	common	opinion,	this	condition	is	not	due	to	the
stomach’s	making	too	much	hydrochloric	acid,	but	is	due	instead	to	back-flushing	of
waste,	toxins,	and	bile	from	the	intestines	into	the	stomach.	In	many	cases,	heartburn
results	when	the	stomach	makes	too	little	hydrochloric	acid,	thereby	forcing	food	to
remain	there	far	too	long	and	to	ferment.	Taking	antacids	can	further	impair	the	digestion
of	foods	and	cause	major	damage	to	the	stomach	and	the	rest	of	the	GI	tract.

A	number	of	other	causes	of	gastritis	and	heartburn	can	be	identified.	They	include
overeating,	consuming	fried	foods,	excessive	alcohol	consumption,


 literally putting our feet up and reversing the ﬂow of gravity.
How-to:  Sit on a folded blanket with the right hip ﬂush against
the wall and your mat perpendicular to the wall. Have another
folded blanket toward the top of the mat for your head to rest on.
Slide your left arm and the left side of your torso down the length
of the mat and roll onto your back, allowing the right leg, followed
by the left leg, to ﬂoat up against the wall. Adjust your sacrum so
that the sit bones rest against the wall and the sacrum evenly
releases into the support of the blanket. Slide the folded blanketunderneath your head. Float your arms wide, with the elbows bent
at a 90-degree angle, palms facing up, and ﬁngertips relaxed. Rest
here, allowing the weight of your body to release onto the ﬂoor for
up to 10 minutes.
Benefits:  Physically, Legs Up the Wall pose releases the backs of
the legs, the lower back, the chest, the shoulders, and the back of
the neck. It brings the deoxygenated blood back to the heart and
helps to reduce swelling in the feet.
Energetically, this pose is calming, quieting, and deeply
replenishing. It activates the ﬁfth and sixth chakras, facilitating a
state of silence, introspection, and inner vision. It also helps us to
perceive the world from a new perspective.
Engage jalandhara bandha. Stimulates apana vayu.
Therapeutic applications:  Legs Up the Wall pose alleviates
edema, varicose veins, menstrual discomfort, and swollen ankles.
Helpful with jet lag and insomnia.
Helpful tips: Wrap a belt or a strap around your thighs to keep
your legs together. Place a weighted cushion on your feet to help
release the thigh bones into the hip socket. For a hip-opening
alternative, bring the soles of your feet together and spread your
knees wide apart. If you don’t have wall space, practice this pose
with a block underneath your sacrum and your legs toward the
ceiling.
OceanofPDF.comCORPSE POSE: SAVASANA
Overview:  Corpse pose is one of the most important poses of
the Hatha Yoga practice. It is ritualistically practiced at the end of
each sequence, representing the ﬁnal cycle of life, which is
destruction. In Corpse pose, we are dismantling our attachment to
our body, mind, thoughts, and identity, and learning how to rest in
our true essence, which is inﬁnite and unbounded. It transitions us
from the act of doing into the art of being.
How-to:  Lie on your back with your legs a little wider than hip-
distance apart, your feet rolling open, and your arms at a 45-
degree angle alongside your body. With your palms facing up,
allow your ﬁngertips to curl in toward the palms of your hands
naturally. Allow the entire weight of your body to surrender into
the support of the ﬂoor. Relax each muscle in your body from your
toes up to the crown of your head. Rest here for at least 5 minutes
in complete stillness.
Benefits:  Physically, Corpse pose elicits the parasympathetic
nervous response, which, as mentioned earlier, is physiologically
healing. It lowers blood pressure, slows down the heart rate, brings
blood back to the heart, aids in digestion, and bolsters the
immune system.
Energetically, this pose reduces anxiety and facilitates a deep
sense of surrender. It activates the seventh chakra, promoting asense of spiritual awakening and connection to universal
intelligence.
No bandhas engaged. Stimulates prana and apana vayu.
Therapeutic applications:  This pose is healing for various
physical and mental conditions. It aids in blood pressure reduction;
alleviates anxiety, lower back pain, fatigue, and chronic pain; and
eases overall tension in the body.
Helpful tips: Place a cushion or a rolled-up towel or blanket
underneath your knees if you have any lower back pain. If your chin
is higher than your forehead, place a folded blanket underneath
your head.
OceanofPDF.comAFTERWORD
By Deepak Chopra
Where Do You Go from Here?
Royal Yoga has inspired spiritu al seekers for many centuries. To help
inspire you, we’ve tried to clear  the path of complications and obstacles. I
strongly believe  that everyday experiences give a glimpse of what it is like
to live in the light. I base this belief on one of the most basic principles in
Yoga: Consciousness is whole, and we all share in this wholeness. Everyone
starts on a level playing field when it comes to awareness. At every
moment, you are either aware or not. This is a choice that excludes no one.
The light of awareness is universal.
Royal Yoga is more than a set of practices for making you more aware.
It offers a vision of the ideal life. This vision also excludes no one because
the ideal life is based on consciousness. You can’t change what you aren’ t
aware of, and the more aware you are, the greater the chang es you can
achieve. Humans are the only creatures who can consciously evolve. Yoga
is the handbook that shows you how to evolve. The handbook is complete,
and whoever you are, its instructions apply to you.
So, if someone asked, “What do I do now?” the one-word answer is
“Evolve.” We commonly speak of spiritual seekers, but in reality, there areonly spiritual evolvers—or not.
Right now, and in the recent past, I’ve encountered more people than
ever before who have set out on their own spiritual path. They have become
inspired by higher consciousnes s; they’ve gotten excited about the notion of
“Follow your bliss.” But a cynic would point out that we have been hearing
about the emer gence of higher consciousness for at least fifty years, and
collective enlightenment still isn’ t in sight.
Yet there is no reason to be discouraged once you accept a simple but
profound truth: Consciousness evolves in a way that fits every individual.
Nothing is more individual and fluid. Yet along the path you should be
prepared for some highly peculiar, even unique qualities. Here are just a
few:
You can’t see the goal in advance.
You therefore cannot make reliable plans on how to
reach the goal.
Because your inner life is constantly shifting, you never
know if your attitude is correct or even if you are
equipped for the next phase of the journey.
Your ego-personality, which supports you in every other
activity, is of little use when addressing consciousness.
Typically, the ego-personality is an obstacle to, or pulls
you away from, any drastic change, particularly if old
habits, beliefs, and conditioning are challenged.
Even though you think and act as an individual,
consciousness isn’t personal: It’s universal, holistic, and,
in the end, inconceivable.
All these points have come up in this book, but by gatherin g them
together in one list, I’m giving you the essence of what it feels like to live
the vision of Royal Y oga.Once you recognize that your own evolution must come to terms with
everything on this list, the picture changes. The self is transforming the self.
You are like a surgeon who wants to perform surgery on himself, which is
obviously an impossible task. How can an individual—guided by the ego-
personality, which will only sabotage real personal transform ation—ever
evolve? The answer is not found at the level of the ego or the active mind.
Instead, you increasingly let your true unbounded nature come to light; you
hold on to the desire to meet your true self, exchanging a series of
provisional selves along the way for something everlasting.
These provisional selves, from birth to death and conforming to every
situation in between, feel like “I, me, and mine.” We own them;  we assume
we are them. But from  a Yogic perspe ctive, these selves are just garm ents
to clothe  the ego, a superficial covering that masks the true self. Because
the true self is the only part of us that knows what is really going on, it
invisibly manages our evolution.
Think about an infant facing stages of development that are controlled
invisibly from a level of life it has no knowledge of. Ahead lie baby teeth,
adult teeth, puberty, the formatio n of the immune system, the maturation of
the brain, and so on. The controller of these processes, we say, is our DNA.
But, in fact, the controller is the invisible knowledge encoded in DNA, not
the chemical amalgam of a gene, which consists of very ordinary carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, for the most part.
If there is a similar controller of our conscious evolution, it, too,
consists of knowledge. And just as DNA unfolds a child’ s development on
schedule, with a definite time line that puts baby teeth ahead of puberty, the
evolution of consciousness unfolds according to a specific time line. But
because the whole person is involved, with the inclusion of every personal
trait that makes us unique individuals, this silent unfoldment is dynamic,
shifting, responsive to life situations, and impossible to predict in advance.
Because the evolution of consciousness is about the entire person at


 f metabolism - produces toxemia.
Toxemia is the universal, basic cause of all so -called disease. Adventitious complicating causes may be super -added to
toxemia. By checked elimination is not meant constipation, but checked excretion through all of the excr etory organs of the
body. Toxemia is not caused by constipation and is not removed by laxatives, enemas and colonic irrigations. Nor will the use
of kidney medicines increase elimination through the kidneys. None of the so -called blood -purifiers can be of any value in
remedying toxemia.
The ultimate cause of mankind's many so -called diseases lies in the enervating habits of mind and body practiced almost
universally. Because this is so, the ultimate remedy for our diseases is a correction of the habits of l ife.

IF NO ATTENTION TO CAUSE - NEW PROBLEMS
Today, as in the past, when a man becomes ill - he takes a pill from a box, potion from a bottle, gets an injection of a  poison
from a hypodermic syringe, or has an organ removed. No attention is given to cause. His life is not changed, his habits are n ot
corrected, and in a short time he is sick again. Neither the physician nor the patient is able to trace a connection bet ween the
two so -called diseases. So -called health is again restored and the incident passes from memory.
Again, within a short time, another illness (which is as much of a surprise as were the prior two illnesses) develops and sti ll no
thought is devoted t o its connection with the two preceding illnesses. So long as the real nature of disease and real source of
cause are not understood, this will continue to be true.

TOXEMIC CRISIS = STEAM SAFETY VALVE
The medical axiom that "all diseases tend to recovery"  is much overworked, and by no school more than by the old school or
self-styled "regulars." Why? Because the primary cause, the universal cause of disease - toxemia - is not known. The many
diseases which the medical tongue so flippantly describes as func tional derangements that "tend to recovery," are simply crises
in toxemic saturation. In their alleged "self -recovery" in spite of "cures", palliations, and the "chief function of the physician to
guard against complications," there is no recovery at all.
Like the escape of excess steam through the safety -valve of an engine, the steam pressure is lowered for the time being; but
unless the cause of toxemic saturation is removed, crises will recur time after time, as the toxemia continues to in -crease, and
the "curing" has to be done over and over again.
This requires that the wisest of physicians must be constantly busying himself "guarding against complications" - complications
that he is almost always responsible for building.

CRISIS WILL FOLLOW CRISIS
What is a self -limited disease? Disease is remedial effort. It is a process of purification and repair. When the process of
compensatory elimination that is called disease, has reduced the toxemia to the toleration point, the symptoms subside
spontaneously an d the disease is said to be cured. But the patient is not well. He is still toxemic. The cause of the toxemia has
not been removed.
The toxemia will again rise above the toleration point and another crisis will develop. Crisis will follow crisis until orga nic change
takes place. Gastric ulcer, diabetes, Bright's disease, heart disease, diseases of the arteries or nerves, cancer, etc., foll ow in
the wake of recurring crises.

PROGRESSIVELY MORE SERIOUS DISEASES
Instead of seeing in these changes a progressive pathological evolution of which cancer, diabetes, disease of the heart and
arteries etc., are but end -points - the wisdom of all the ages of medical science is expended in a herculean effort to prove that
established pathology is its own cause.  On the day that medical savants succeed in lifting themselves by their own boot -straps,
they will also succeed in proving that pathology is its own cause.

ANYTHING CAN BE A "CURE"
Here in this land of so -called self -limited diseases is where all the curi ng methods and systems shine. Just as anything and
everything seems to cure a cold, so anything and everything that may be used with which to treat the patient suffering with
measles or pneumonia or gonorrhea, etc., will appear to cure. Here in the realm of "self -limited" disease the regular and the
irregular cults, the faddists and the mountebanks, every phase of the curing system from the erudite professor to the most
stupid lout prove the virtues of their cures. In this every -doctor's land grandma's cat aplasms cure, grand -pa's brass -ring cure for
rheumatism cures, the rabbit -foot charm and buckeye for piles cure, penicillin cures pneumonia and anti toxin cures diphtheria,
the punch in the back cures measles and the herb tea cures gastritis All cures are successful in this grand jamboree of "self -
limited" crises. Christian Science and prayer are as effective as the most scientific treatment. The prayer may be, as in Afr ica,
directed to a petrified frog - no matter, it cures.

ACUTE DISEASE - TOXEMIC CRISI S
Our toxemic crises - so-called acute diseases - keep pace with the ebb and flow of toxemia as our habits of living hold this
down within the limits of toleration or increase it above the established limits. Toleration is a state of chronic disease, a  state, for
example in which chronic catarrh, is continuously active throwing off toxins. Acute diseases are intermittent due to the fact  that
toxemia is pushed above the point of established toleration only intermittently. Chronic disease means chronic provoc ation. To
point this differently: disease begins where cause begins and persists where cause persists.

"REST" IS THE SOLUTION
Nothing so effectively hastens the elimination of toxemia and the recuperation of nerve energy as mental, physical and
physiologi cal rest. Only through rest can the enervated body muster sufficient nerve energy with which to increase its work of
elimination. By physiological rest is meant fasting, or abstinence from all food except water. Once fasting and rest have ena bled
the body to eliminate its stored up toxins and recuperate its nerve energy, a physiological mode of living will enable the patient
to grow into better and better health until full health is reached, and to maintain health thereafter.
Such a program of physiological  living is not made up exclusively of a plan of eating. Proper diet is extremely important, but it
does not constitute a complete way of life. All of man's life must be live in harmony with simple, well -defined laws of nature.
Exercise, fresh air, sun -shine, sufficient rest and sleep, a wholesome sex life, a cheerful and poised mental attitude, and
 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               35

consistent avoidance of all  devitalizing habits are of equal importance with diet. One cannot maintain health, no matter what his
diet, if he is practicing enervating habits and denying his body the benefits of sunshine, fresh air and exercise.
Coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol, poisone d soft -drinks, and other poison -habits will wreck the strongest man, no matter what his
diet

CHRONIC DISEASE - "OLD AGE"
If toxemia is not eliminated, if nerve energy is not restored to normal, if the causes of enervation are not removed and
corrected, th ere can be no genuine return to health. There can be only a recession of symptoms after these have reduced the
accumulated toxemia to the toleration point, perhaps slightly below, and a state of comparative comfort is again established.
This state represen ts a very low state of health, a state of chronic toxemic saturation. In this state, despite recurring crises,
there is the slow, progressive development of the many and varied forms of chronic and degenerative pathologies, not the leas t
of which is that c ondition of organismal enfeeblement, impairment and decline, which we call old age.

BACTERIA AND EPIDEMICS
What about bacteria and epidemics? First, there must be a changed condition of the body's fluids and tissues, giving rise to that
systemic impairmen t that is designated "susceptibility" or 'lowered resistance."
Once you grasp the fact that all had habits lead to toxemia, it will not be difficult for you to grasp the idea that this per version of
the fluids and tissues must take place before it is possible for bacteria, which are nature's reducing forces, to make any further
changes in these materials. Assuming that the scavenger work done by bacteria under these conditions actually complicates
the disease, they cannot be the primary cause of diseas e, nor of any epidemic.
Epidemics of any proportion follow in the wake of some mass prostrating influence - war,


	and	DHEA
(dehydroepiandrosterone).
Hormones	are	part	of	the	body’s	cell-to-cell	communications	system,	helping
the	body	to	regulate.	For	instance,	hormones	are	used	to	regulate	blood	sugar,
which	normally	stays	within	narrow	limits	to	keep	the	body,	and	especially	the
brain,	supplied	with	the	correct	amount.	If	blood	sugar	is	too	high,	the	pancreas
secretes	insulin,	which	signals	the	cells	to	take	up	glucose,	thus	lowering	blood
sugar	and	returning	to	normal.	If	blood	sugar	drops	too	low,	the	pancreas
secretes	glucagon,	which	signals	the	liver	to	break	down	glycogen	into	glucose
to	raise	blood	sugar.	In	this	way,	different	hormones	act	in	pairs	like	a
thermostat,	turning	systems	on	and	off.	This	chemistry	presents	a	delicate
balancing	act.	All	the	hormones	interact	with	each	other	in	ways	modern	science
is	only	beginning	to	understand.	In	blood-sugar	regulation	alone,	at	least	six
hormones	are	involved.
Steroid	hormones	are	being	prescribed	almost	as	frequently	as	antibiotics,	forallergic	reactions,	asthma,	eczema,	arthritis,	ulcerative	colitis,	and	for	all	types	of
inflammatory	and	autoimmune	diseases.	Often	steroids	are	given	to	babies	and
children	to	alleviate	inflammations	of	all	kinds.	Steroids	can	cause	permanent
and	devastating	damage,	even	after	a	single	dose;	once	the	body	is	thrown	out	of
its	natural	self-regulatory	mode,	it	sometimes	never	“gets	back.”	Steroids’
beneficial	effects	appear	to	decline	in	time,	leaving	patients	in	worse	condition
than	before	they	started.
Steroids	appear	to	be	a	“miracle	cure”	for	asthma	or	arthritis;	however,	they
merely	suppress	the	symptoms	of	these	conditions.	They	may	make	people	feel
better,	but	this	feeling	comes	at	a	high	price.	The	medical	journals	are	filled	with
steroid-inflicted	horror	stories,	such	as	osteoporosis,	retarded	child	growth	and
vision	loss:
•	The
Annals	of	Internal	Medicine
in	November	1993	reported	that	after	just
four	months	of	use,	oral	steroids	can	cause	osteoporosis,	with	an	8	percent
reduction	in	bone	mass.
•	The
British	Medical	Journal
in	August	1994	reported	that	extensive	eye
damage	and	visual	loss	can	be	caused	by	using	topical,	over-the-counter,	1
percent	hydrocortisone	ointment	for	two	weeks.
•
Lancet
has	reported	that	after	only	six	weeks	of	use,	inhaled	steroids
prescribed	for	asthma	retard	growth	in	children.
Alternative	approaches	to	steroids	include,	for	example,	vitamin	C	and
quercitin.	These	two	natural	anti-inflammatories	accomplish	similar	results,	but
without	the	side	effects.	Whether	one	takes	steroids	orally,	inhales	them	or	rubs
them	on	the	skin	doesn’t	matter;	damage	can	be	caused	quickly	and	irreversibly.
Rubbing	a	little	cortisone	ointment	on	the	skin	affects	the	chemistry	of	the	entire
body.	Steroids	taken	during	pregnancy	can	cause	a	child	to	suffer	from	autism
and	impaired	cognitive	performance.	Topical	and	inhaled	steroids	can	cause
glaucoma	and	cataracts.	Other	reported	problems	include	fluid	retention,
thinning	skin,	slowness	in	healing,	headaches,	muscle	weakness,	immune
suppression,	angina,	hair	loss	and	depression.
Over-the-counter	hormones	such	as	melatonin	and	DHEA	are	special
problems,	partly	because	they	are	so	easy	to	obtain.	Daily	doses	of	50	milligrams
of	DHEA	have	been	linked	to	acne,	oily	skin,	excessive	facial	hair	growth	in
women	and	mood	changes	such	as	irritability	and	aggressiveness.	DHEA	is	a
steroid	hormone	with	a	molecular	structure	quite	similar	to	cortisone.	(Cortisone,
too,	was	once	thought	to	be	a	wonder	drug,	until	we	found	it	was	maiming	and

rats	fed	DHEA	for	eighteen	months	experienced	color	changes	in	their	liversfrom	pink	to	brown.	Fourteen	developed	liver	cancer.
Neurologists	and	other	sleep	specialists	have	warned	against	taking	melatonin
supplements.	In	September	1996,	the	National	Institutes	of	Health	sponsored	a
meeting	in	Bethesda,	Maryland,	where	researchers	reported	that	we	do	not	have
sufficient	knowledge	about	how	melatonin	works	to	predict	all	its	potential
adverse	effects,	especially	at	the	high	doses	in	over-the-counter	preparations.
The	data	showed	melatonin	could	cause	nausea,	headaches,	nightmares,
worsening	of	existing	depression	or	a	drop	in	body	temperature,	which	increases
the	risk	of	developing	viral	infections.	Richard	J.	Wurtman,	M.D.,	professor	of
neuroscience	and	director	of	the	clinical	research	center	at	the	Massachusetts
Institute	of	Technology,	described	widespread	use	of	over-the-counter	melatonin
as	“scary.”
The	original	experiments	with	mice,	suggesting	that	melatonin	prolonged	life,
used	genetically	selected	mice	that	were	unable	to	produce	melatonin.	When
given	some	melatonin,	they	did	measurably	better	than	having	none.	However,
repeated	experiments	with	normal	mice	resulted	in	shortened	life	span,	because
they	developed	tumors	of	the	reproductive	tract.	(Of	course,	the	public	hears
only	of	the	“benefits.”)
Taking	hormones	on	a	regular	basis,	such	as	the	numerous	women	on	birth
control	pills	and	others	on	hormone	replacement	therapy	(HRT),	imbalances	the
hormone	system.	Millions	of	women	are	put	on	HRT,	presumably	to	help
prevent	heart	attack	and	osteoporosis.	Little	reliable	evidence	exists	that	HRT
prevents	either;	in	fact	evidence	shows	that	it	promotes	these	conditions.
Want	to	prevent	hormone	disruption	in	your	body?	Avoiding	certain	toxins	is
critical.	More	than	fifty	different	chemicals	are	known	to	disrupt	the	normal

phthalates	leached	from	PVC	and	other	plastics,	and	bisphenol-A	(from
polycarbonate	water	bottles	and	the	plastics	used	to	coat	the	interior	of	cans	used
to	contain	food).	Dietary	considerations	are	important,	because	most	of	our
exposure	to	these	hormone-disrupting	chemicals	comes	from	eating	meat	and
dairy	products.	Sugar	and	white	flour	disrupt	hormone	balances,	so	minimize

 every day. Even long term deadly allergies
can be cured by the water of life.
We all know the principle behind vaccines, to treat like with like. To introduce a
small amount of what you want to fight against, so your body can build a
defence. Urine therapy works the same way on steroids. Instead of getting the
flu vaccine for example, but the principle is the same for any vaccine; once your
body catches the flu, long before you feel the effects of it, the information is in
your urine.
If you drink this information then the lymphatic system has a chance to study it
and build a defence before it has a chance to hold. It’s exactly the right vaccine
in your urine, unlike big pharma vaccines which are guess work which strain they
put in the vaccines every year.The information in your urine every day is exactly correct for whatever is wrong
with you. When you first catch a virus or something, and it has not yet taken
hold, so before you feel the effects of it, it is in your urine in an early form. It is
like the virus without its weapons, it’s like before it’s got its armour and sword.
It’s also in very small quantity in your body before it multiplies and really takes
root.
If you loop all your urine then you are constantly vaccinating yourself at the right
time, before it really takes hold and helping your immune system build the
antibodies that it needs every day for whatever is wrong with you. This works for
any allergies, any ailment. You no longer need to fear any super bug, virus or
epidemic.
How can you call the 95% of orin, pure distilled water?
The answer is in the name, dis-still or not still. As opposed to still water. Water
that has been clogged up with lots of dead matter is still-water on an atomic
level it is slow moving. Dis-still or not still water is fast moving on an atomic
level. This fast moving not still water is the most effective at cleaning out the
inorganic dead matter and anything that should not be in the body. Anything
that is bad for you has the opposite electrical charge. The 95% of orin is one of
the four distilled waters available to us.
Firstly we have nature’s distilled waters, all rain, dew, fog and snow are nature’s
made distilled waters that can be collected and drank. But these days there is so
much pollution that nature’s distilled water is not clean anymore. These nature
made distilled waters still need cleaning more nowadays.
Secondly we have machine made distilled waters. A table top distiller that copies
nature’s distillation method is the cheapest and best way to make pure water.
There are other ways like reverse osmosis and deionising machines. Anything to
get the water back to pure H2O, with zero parts per million of anything dead or
bad for the human body. Including removing any VOCs, or volatile organic
compounds. This is why there is always a carbon filter on table top distillers.
Thirdly we have all fresh plant juices that are distilled waters. All fresh fruit and
veg, even grass and leaves in fact any greenery or flowers whatsoever can have
water juiced out of it with a juicing machine. Very similar to orin, these distilled
waters will be in the 95% range distilled water and 5% or so living good things
depending on what plant you are juicing. The 95% or so water is distilled by
nature, this is one of the best distilled waters available and the 5% nutrients are
extremely beneficial to the body, but of course will take you out of fasted state
when you drink them.
Fourthly and finally in all the distilled waters available to us we have our own
orin which has been given to us every day. This will not take you out of a fasted
state. This is about 95% of the very best distilled water you could get anywhere
on earth. The other 5% or so is unique nutrients and substances that your liver
has decided are good for you. Your own personal pharmacy complete. Containingsome substances that you can’t get anywhere else, they are only made by your
body. Only a fraction of these substances are even known about, my theory is
that there are countless other micro nutrients and substances that are as yet
unknown to humans.
These great substances made by the body go up tremendously when practicing
Omad Orin looping.
When combining omad with orin looping, the many beneficial compounds your
body makes can go up by thousands of percent in your orin. By looping them
your body can use them again and again.
Why do I say that your own orin is the very best distilled water you can ever get?
Because to get the highest quality distilled water you have to keep distilling it
again and again. This is what you do when you are looping all your own distilled
water
Just as you did when you were in your mother’s womb for nine months. There is
no cap on the genitals. Both male and female just pee into the space you are
floating in and drink it down again. The poop does have a cap on it, that gets
taken out of the umbilical cord. Once labour starts there is a switch and the baby
does its first ever poop out of their back passage.
But all that time the baby was peeing into the space they were floating in and
then re drinking it or looping it again and again.
If there are ever surgery performed on unborn babies the scars completely heal
up because of the stem cells in the orin.
This is why a baby sells so sweet and clean. All due to the water of life, ridding all
toxins and inorganic minerals. You can get back to this clean state as an adult by
omad orin looping.
Dr Mercola wrote a deceptive article saying that distilled water will bring about
early death. He said do not drink distilled water because it will rid the body of
minerals. He says to drink mineral water or still water.
This is an on purpose half truth. Yes distilled water will rid the body of inorganic
dead minerals of the opposite electrical charge. But it scientifically and
biologically cannot rid the body of good organic living minerals.
If you think of the inorganic calcium that builds up inside an old kettle, this is
what will build up inside your body by drinking mineral water.
By drinking distilled water you clean the body of all dead inorganic calcified
deposits but will NOT rid the body of good organic calcium that is good for your
bones.
This is the secret that has been kept from you. In the military all around the
world the higher you get the more of this secret is revealed to you.The lower down like the marines are told that you can drink your orin only in a
survival situation for about a week before it gets too dirty.
A little higher up like the paratroopers they are told that they can drink it for a
month before it gets too dirty and higher up again they are told a couple of
months.
The special forces like the SAS, SEALS and Spetznaz have many secrets that they
learn in their training and the water of life is one of them. They are told the truth
that the  longer you loop it the cleaner it gets. Round and round it goes, getting
cleaner and better quality every loop.
So in conclusion all you need to do to follow omad orin looping is stop eating and
drinking anything for 23hrs a day, apart from your own orin which will not take
you out of a fasted state.
Your own orin is the water of life, it is the very best drink made for you that you
could ever get anywhere on earth. This is the secret of secrets. The mystery of
mysteries. The water of life.
End.
To conclude I would now like to lay out my typical days routine of Omad Orin
looping. Starting from when I wake naturally at dawn, I drink from the container
by my bedside that I have been filling ever since my one meal the night before.
I try to drink as much as feels comfortable first thing while sitting in bed. Leaving
a mouthful in my mouth for swishing I then get up go to the bathroom and
orinate some more into the half full container. Then drink as much of that as I
feel comfortable with. Again leaving some in my mouth for swishing.
I then use a handful from the container to wash my hands, face and neck. I bathe
each eye and clean my ears with it, then put some in a small cup and drink
through my nose.
I then have a shave with my cutthroat razor using more orin and have a good
wash everywhere with more orin tipped out of my container.
When the rest of the family gets up I keep sipping my orin like tea as the kids get
ready for school and I get ready for work. Usually I feel the need for a good
bowel movement about an hour after waking up and drinking all that orin, this
cleans you out all of last night’s meal and leaves you feeling clean and empty. I
try to finish all the remaining orin in the container before leaving the house
about 8am. If I can't finish it all then it goes into long term storage for external
use.
Maybe I do feel a need for another bowel movement  but I know it's just the back
passage filling with bile because there is nothing else there, this is very healthy.

 mind be better than
gathering hard facts about the brain?
Because data only has meaning given a certain way of
seeing it. This point was made in the one book almost every
college stude nt reads (if they read any) in the philosophy of
science, Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scien tiﬁc
Revolutions,  published in 1962. Kuhn shattered the notio n
of objective progress in science by arguing that given their
starting assumptions, every scientiﬁc scheme for explainingNature—what he called a paradigm—is right on its own
terms.
This groundb reaking insight went back to 1947, when
Kuhn, then a graduate student at Harvard, was wrestling
with how wrong Aristotle had been. Aristotelian physics
was the ﬁrst systema tic explanation of Nature in
mechanical terms, the cornerstone of Western science that
made Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein possible. And yet a
brilliant mind like Aristo tle’s arrived at complete ly wrong
conclusions about such basic things as why objec ts fall to
earth or what heat is. Suddenly Kuhn had an epiphany:
What we call Aristotle’s mistakes in fact weren’t mistakes
at all. If you accept the starting assumptions behind
Aristotelian physics, its description of Nature was valid.
Kuhn seemed  to be saying that Aristotle was just as right
as Newton, which to most people, including probably every
physicist, makes no sense. In our time, the accepta nce of
scientiﬁc progress is all but universal, and the triumphs of
modern technology are undeniable. Yet no one has rebutted
Kuhn’s point that we view Nature through our own
paradigm, our worldview. The history of science is a
constant stream of shifting paradigms, one after another.
There is no way to step outside the paradigm you totally
believe in.
But what if the current paradigm happens to be
absolutely right? A Theory of Everything has been on the
horizon for decades, and we are told that it’s only a matter
of time before the theory  is complete. Kuhn’s point is that
an absolutely correct theory, no matter how much data you
feed into it, cannot be achieved. All you can achieve is the
fulﬁllment of the paradigm you believe in. Eventually
problems will arise that cannot be solved without
shattering the present paradigm so that a new one can be
formed.To a doctor, spontaneous remission from cancer  posed
just such a problem. As long as your medical paradigm
separated mind and body, no way existed for consciousness
(including beliefs, expec tations, fears, wishes, faith, and
hope) to inﬂuence the daily life of cells. Looking beyond
medicine, we have to consider consciousness as a whole. If
the mind can inﬂuence the body, what do we mean by
mind? If brain = mind, the answer to all ills should be a
host of super-pills that alter brain function, steering it in
the direction we want it to go. In eﬀect, this is where
neuroscience thinks it’s heading, because the old paradigm
says so. There is literally no room for consciousness being
the agent of change.
In the years since Quantum Healing  was ﬁrst published,
my own thinking has become more sophisticated about the
so-called hard problem of connecting mind and brain.
Anyone who ﬂatly says that brain = mind is turning their
backs on what the philosophy of science teaches.
1.Theories are right about what they include and wrong
about what they exclude.
2.No model of reality is big enough to explain reality.
3.Data has no meaning unless it is interpreted, and
interpretations are bound by the observer’s starting
assumptions.
In a word, everyone has a story, and everyone believes
their story. Even contradictory stories can be valid and ﬁt
the same data. This startling conclusion applies to everyday
life all the time. Competing stories are told in divorce court
when marriages break apart, in criminal court when
prosecution and defense do battle, and in the corridors of
medicine when two doctors have diﬀerent concepts of
healing. Sticking to your story convinces you that you’retelling the truth when in fact you are just defending a way
of seeing.
—
The story told by neuroscience, that brain = mind, is
particularly weak. There is absolutely no data to indicate
that neurons  can think; they merely light up on an fMRI as
thinking occurs, which isn’t the same thing. You could
construct a setup so that a 100-watt bulb lights up over
your head every time you have a bright idea, but that
doesn’t mean  the light bulb caused  the idea. Neuroscience
ignores this obvious ﬂaw when it arrives at the same false
conclusion, using neurons instead of a lightbulb.
The current state of total conﬁdence in neuroscience
requires thick blinders. Brain scientists don’t see the dead
end they are walking toward when they promise that
neurons are going to explain where thoughts come from.
Not just thoughts, but no color, shape, sound, taste, and
smell will ever be locate d in neurons, and what isn’t in a
neuron isn’t in the brain, either.
It would be pointless to tear down the old paradigm
without having somethin g better to oﬀer. In that regard,
Quantum Healing  pointed in the right direction. All the
things the brain is credited with actually should be
assigned to the mind. Once this shift is made,  enormous
untapped potential becomes available. Neuroscience will
continue to do valuable things, in particular ﬁxing the
abnormalities and disorders of the brain connected to a
wide range of diseases. You can’t play Mozart on a broken
piano. Yet the mystery of Mozart’s genius, like all mysteries
of the mind,  must be solved on a diﬀerent plane, beyond
the physical.
OceanofPDF.comRecently a young woman in her late twenties, a part-time
model, came  to my oﬀice  in Boston. After years of hiding
the fact that she had an eating disorder, her family had
ﬁnally persua ded her to seek treatment. Since adolescence
she had been obsessed with her ﬁgure, and over time this
concern had become more and more abnormal until it
blossomed into a double sickness, anorexia nervosa and
bulimia.
Looking at this attractive, bright woman, who to all
appearances was normal, I was not lulled into thinking that
her problem was easy. Despite extensive resea rch and
publicity in recent years, both anorexia and bulimia remain
highly puzzling. Why should young wome n, many of them
well educated and from high-income backgrounds, nurture
an uncontro llable obsession with diet and weight?
Anorexics develop a fear of food and a horror at the act of
eating. Conﬁned to a rigidly ritualized pattern of behavio r
that leads them to voluntary starvation, they will deny that
they are too thin, even to the point of death.The companion disease, bulimia, can be separate from
anorexia or can coexist with it, as in this woman’s case. In
bulimia, the horror of food takes a weird turn in the form of
bingeing. The secret food binges that a bulimic goes on are
often enorm ous—anywhere from 2,000 to 50,000  calories
at a sitting (2,000 calor ies is enough food to sustain a
vigorous 150-pound perso n for a day). This huge amount of
food is then vomited back up, causing tremendous stress on
the digestive system and the body as a whole.
This particul ar woman’s  disorder had advanced to the
point where she was vomiting every day in order to
maintain the normal but still low weight needed  for her
work. The very sight of a dessert, she told me, caused her
to break out in a cold sweat and sent her heart racing. She
was extremely intelligent and listened closely when I said
that at the root of her disorder was a mistake in her self-
image. Because our society is obsessed with the ideal of
thinness, many women try to live up to an inner image of
their bodies that is simply not right for their physical
makeup. In her case, however, the image was not saying, “I
have to be thin.” It was saying, “I can never be thin
enough.”
To explain this paradoxical illness, one has to drop the
distinction between mind and body and think of one
system, the “bodymind.” This is because an eating disorder
is a holistic disease, the cruel opposite of holistic health. In
anorexics, the distorted idea, “I must be thinner,” takes
over the bodymind like a malevolent and elusive phantom.
Even after long hospitalization and exhaustive psychiatric
treatment, the patient rarely eats like a normal person. A
normal person would have to struggle to starve himself—
once the body went past a certain point of deprivation, its
hunger signa ls would take precedence over everyt hing else
in the bodymind, until the desire for food became
overpowering. For someone with an


soul	is	just	as	easy	and	natural—once	you	have	learned	how.
There’s	nothing	new	here.	For	thousands	of	years	people	have	wanted	three
things	very	deeply:	love,	healing,	and	awakening.	In	the	world’s	wisdom
traditions,	a	rich	storehouse	of	knowledge	has	accumulated	about	the	path	that
leads	to	these	things.	The	most	valuable	knowledge	can	be	stated	in	a	few
sentences:
The	path	must	be	inspiring.
It	must	fit	with	your	own	personality	and	tendencies.
It	should	be	without	stress	and	strain.
The	challenge	is	to	turn	these	three	principles	into	a	practical	plan.	Here	is
where	the	traditions	of	wisdom	lay	down	three	main	approaches.	These	are
blueprints	or	strategy	plans,	we	might	say,	that	have	proven	to	work	time	and
time	again.	As	we	describe	them,	stop	and	consider	which	approach	suits	you
personally.
•
The
path	of	love	and	devotion:
	On	this	path	the	incentive	is	joy.	Seeing	the
beauty	of	the	world,	you	seek	more	of	it,	and	the	more	you	find,	the	more
blissful	you	feel.	Moments	of	love	start	to	deepen.	You	are	inspired	to
contemplate	a	creation	permeated	by	love.	This	path	is	very	private,	because
it	takes	place	entirely	in	the	heart.	Further	along	the	path	you	sense	that	love
can	be	unconditional,	and	you	find	yourself	offering	devotion	to	the	source
of	such	pure	love.
Qualities	of	this	path:
	Bliss,	joy,	love	of	beauty,	desire	to	give	and
receive	love,	hunger	for	the	divine,	a	sense	of	heartfelt	warmth
The	goal:
	To	live	in	the	light	of	divine	grace
•
The
path	of	action	and	service:
	On	this	path	the	incentive	is	spiritual
growth.	Having	glimpsed	what	is	best	in	yourself,	you	want	to	act
from	your
best	self	always.	There	is	a	strong	desire	to	fulfill	your	inner	potential.	This	is
achieved	by	expanding	your	awareness,	because	the	more	expanded	you	feel,
the	more	complete	you	are.	This	path	is	dynamic	and	takes	place	in	thehustle	and	bustle	of	the	real	world.	Further	along,	the	most	fulfilling	action
is	no	longer	selfish.	You	feel	more	fulfilled	by	service	to	others.	The	more
you	give	of	yourself,	the	more	you	receive	back.	This	motivates	you	to
surrender	all	attachment,	because	you	realize	that	what	you	desired	all	along
was	pure	freedom.
Qualities	of	this	path:
	Evolution,	growth,	fulfilled	potential,
giving,	serving,	longing	for	freedom,	renewal,	sense	of	expansion,
becoming	unburdened	and	free	while	still	acting	in	the	world
The	goal:
	Liberation
•
The
path	of	knowledge	and	truth:
	On	this	path	the	incentive	is	a	thirst	for
understanding.	You	have	glimpsed	the	reality	that	peeks	through	the	veil	of
illusion.	The	physical	world	isn’t	enough	to	satisfy	your	need	to	know	the
truth.	You	delve	into	scriptures,	poetry,	and	other	writing	that	speaks	to	you
about	a	deeper	reality.	This	path	is	mental.	Every	day	is	about	seeking	a	new
level	of	understanding.	Wisdom	inspires	you.	Further	along	the	path,	the
mind	realizes	that	wisdom	can’t	be	found	in	books	or	by	any	set	system	of
thought.	The	ultimate	understanding	is	based	on	silent	awareness,	which
simply	knows.	By	relying	on	the	silent	mind	rather	than	all	the	fleeting
thoughts	that	fill	the	mind,	you	discover	that	reality	is	unbounded,	pure
consciousness.	With	this	understanding,	all	seeking	ceases.
Qualities	of	this	path:
	Seeking,	being	true	to	yourself,	thirst	for
knowledge,	self-reliance,	the	pull	of	wisdom,	spiritual	teachings,
inspiration	from	what	the	mind	discovers
The	goal:
	Unbounded	awareness
The	three	pathways	are	equal	and	have	been	tested	for	centuries,	wherever
people	have	wanted	to	find	more	from	life	than	what	is	presented	on	the
surface.	Once	you	find	the	path	that	matches	you	personally,	it	becomes	the
easiest	and	most	natural	one	for	you	to	follow.	Each	path	implies	a	new	way	of
life,	but	it
is	important	to	note	that	if	this	way	of	life	imposes	stress	and	strain,
you	will	sooner	or	later	lapse	back	into	your	old	way	of	life.
Setting	the	Stage
Do	you	see	yourself	taking	one	of	the	three	paths?	Each	one	awakens	Radical
Beauty	at	the	deepest	level,	yet	you	must	be	comfortable	finding	the	way	that
suits	you	best.	For	some	people	the	choice	is	very	clear.	For	others,	there’s	adegree	of	uncertainty.	They	can	see	a	bit	of	themselves	in	all	three	paths,	the
way	of	love,	the	way	of	action,	and	the	way	of	knowledge.	To	help	you	choose,
take	a	closer	look	at	how	your	life	is	being	lived	today.	Even	before	we	think
about	getting	on	the	path,	the	stage	has	been	set	for	taking	the	first	step.
A	way	of	life	that’s	naturally	compatible	with
love	and	devotion
	is	drawn	to
community	and	togetherness.	It	involves	taking	care	of	others.	Family	comes
first.	A	loving	household	is	considered	the	ideal.	Warmth	and	heartfelt
emotions	come	naturally.	There	is	usually	an	attraction	to	church	or	temple.
Feelings	of	reverence	come	naturally.	You	seek	communion	with	nature,	the
people	you	love,	and	all	of	humanity.	You	believe	in	the	power	of	prayer,	and
you	have	experienced	moments	of	grace.	Your	personality	is	likely	to	be	shy	and
self-effacing,	but	this	isn’t	always	true.	At	your	best	you	feel	gratitude	and
devotion	for	the	gifts	that	fill	your	life.
A	way	of	life	that’s	naturally	compatible	with
personal	growth
	is	drawn	to	new
possibilities.	This	is	more	than	the	ordinary	life	of	action,	which	is	dominated
by	external	demands	and	duties.	The	spark	instead	comes	from	inside,	through
constant,	often	restless,	seeking.	Discovery	and	curiosity	occupy	your	mind.
You	like	to	challenge	yourself	to	find	out	what	you	are	capable	of.
Spiritually
you	are	attracted	to	groups	that	offer	a	better	way	of	life	and	the	fulfillment	of
hidden	potential.	You	have	a	strong	sense	of	purpose,	grounded	on	a	secure
sense	of	self.	You	measure	your	self-worth	not	by	visible	rewards	like	money	and
possessions	but	by	how	expanded	you	are	becoming	inside.	You	are	impatient
with	the	demands	of	your	ego,	which	thinks	only	of	itself	and	the	next	pleasure
it	can	experience.	Your	seeking	looks	beyond	the	ego	to	higher	states	of
consciousness.	Being	the	best	you	can	be	appeals	to	you,	and	this	turns	into	a
strong	motivation	spiritually.	Although	others	may	see	you	only	in	worldly
terms,	you	can	surprise	them	by	being	selfless,	generous,	and	willing	to	serve
others.

another by a series of arteries or tubes. Each vessel (gland) is dependent
upon all the others for its supply of liquid (energy). If vessel A (the sexual
glands) is supplied with liquid, this fluid will slowly disperse through the
arteries to the remaining six vessels. Similarly, if vessel C (the pancreas)
were to be drained excessively of its fluid (through a leak of some sort),
each of the other vessels would give up a portion of their supply to
reestablish an equilibrium within the system. This is similar to how energy
flows within our bodies.
(The modem anatomical term for the seven glands is endocrin es. Endo
crinology is a relatively new branch in medical science, and much remains
to be discovered by modem scientists. Yet, the ancients have already
furnished us-with a great deal of information about the structure, nature,
and purpose of the endocrine system and the immune system.)
A state of weakness or susceptibility to disease arises when one system,
or in this case a gland, is for some reason deprived of energy. Our task
becomes then one of not only reestablishing the balanced flow of energy to
overcome this weakness, but of also stimulating the flow of energy, so that
we raise the level of energy within our bodies to its maximum.
Balancing and raising the energy to its proper level through the Seven
Glands System with the Internal Exercises is the Taoist way of strengthen
ing the immune system. Through this method, we can then reverse our
existing weakness and heal ourselves, as well as utilize the higher order of
energy to open up our spiritual centers. And it is said that if one has strong
sexual glands, one may never grow old.
Dr. Alexis Carrel, a Nobel prize winner, stated that the glands system
was a "wheel of life". If the wheel of life turned smoothly, problems
would not arise or interfere with the cellular processes, which were perpet
ual. Dr. Carrel, from his extensive experimentation s, concluded that every
cell was originally immortal. It was immortal if it were not poisoned by
polluted air, lack of oxygen, polluted food, and too much acid in the body.
(As acid can destroy even stainless steel, it is not hard to imagine its effects
on our bodies. Acids accumulate in our bodies when we eat sweets, as they
tum into acids in our bodies. Also. a great deal of acid-enough to last
through five hours of active digestive activity-must be produced to digest
red meat-esp ecially barbecued meat.) Human beings die because of
improper care and poisonings.
Therefore, detoxification is the key to longevity, and Internal Exercises
are the keys to strong glandular systems that support detoxification.
42 The Seven Glands Theory
The sexual glands form the base of the glandular complex, and they
support each other in an ascending order. If the first six glands are not filled
to their capacity, then the seventh or spiritual house will not be filled either.
We may quickly realize that if one were to surgically remove one of the
glandular systems, there would be a permanent depletion or disequilibrium
within the body. This is why, within the Taoist system of disease preven
tion, all available routes are explored before surgery is performed, espe
cially if it involves the sexual glands (hysterectomy or prostatectom y), as
these compri se the basic foundation that supports all the rest. (In Western
medicine, the seven glands are viewed as individual and independent, and
are therefore separable. In Taoism, cutting out a gland is viewed as a crime,
since doing so would throw the entire body out of balance and open a
Pandora's box of health problems. Furthermore, cutting out a part of the
body when it is inflamed is like removing a fire detector because one does
not like to hear it ring every time there is a fire. The tonsils, the front line of
defense for our bodies, are just such a warning system. Because they are
attacked by genns first and become inflamed, they are surgically removed,
perman ently terminating their services as warning systems.) In such a case
as the remova l of a gland, however, the Internal Exercises would still be
important in providing a continued supply of energy and hormones to the
body, to prevent the body from weakening further.
The specific Internal Exercises for these purposes would be the Deer
Exercise, Dragon Exercise, and one of the Twelve Zodiac Exercises. The
Deer Exercise serves to build up the sexual energy (''fire'') which then
supplies the rest of the glands and body with energy (heat). The Dragon
Exercise serves to alleviate imbalanced functioning of these glands. The
Zodiac Exercise serves to recharge these glands with the electtica l energy
of the universe, or electromagnetism.

The Nerve Theory
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves are all important parts of the nervous
system. According to Taoist theory, many people develop nerve weakness
es because of toxins in their environment and in their food. These toxins
accumulate in the liver and the nerves, placing an unnecessary stress on
them. This strain weakens the nerves and causes mental imbalance and
mental illness, including depression and nervous breakdown. Psychiatric
or psycholo gical treatme nts are not employed by Taoists because they
attribute all mental imbalances to nerve weakness, which is a physical
imbalance. Taoists believe that once the nervous system is strengthened
with the Twelve Nerve Exercises, Crane, Deer and Turtle Exercises, and
Liver Exercise, the psycholo gical disturbances will be relieved. N rve Theory The e

The Internal Exercises
The Internal Exercises were arrived at by ancient Taoists through careful
study and application of the physical laws of nature and the natural
principles of healing. Their conformit y to these physical laws-the same
laws that govern the human body-co nfer upon the Internal Exercises the
special power to coax the diseased bodily parts back to its natural order, to
health. When combined the Internal Exercises make up a wonderful
self-healing system that suits every individual's healing needs. When
followed daily, they promote not only freedom from disease and pain, but
also a wonderful sense of well-being that springs from the heart of the
individual. They represent a step which any conscientious person can
easily take toward a transformation of the body from the material to the
eternal. The Taoists recognized that not everyone would undergo such a
transformation during their existing lifetime. However, they emphasiz ed
that one still needed to follow these exercises on a daily basis so that one
could at the very least obtain perfect health and happiness during one's The Internal Exercises
lifetime. They felt that each man and woman had the right to live a life free
of physical pain, mental dishannony, and spiritual selflessness. At a time
when most people can only look forward to growing old with a sense of
trepidation, this system of Internal Exercises represents an exciting turni ng
point.
Stress-environmental, social, and internal-breeds fear and disea�� Pr�irowi.ng-old conjures up images of.liigli" blood pressure·� arte
riosclerosis, embolisms, cancers, and diseases of all imaginable types.
Until recently, westerners have been given few alternatives for dealing
with these stresses. We have allowed our bodies and minds to weaken with
only cursory hopes of slowing the aging process and preventing disease for
a time. However, the main emphasis of the Internal Exercises is on
strengt hen ing our bodi es and minds. They aim to tone all the internal
systems, including the emotional and the spiritual. By performing these
simple exercises on a daily basis, we can look forward to growing old with
a sense of ease and excitement, knowing we carry with us from year to yea,
an inner sense of vitality and alertness which comes only from living a life
free from the anxiety of future illnesses and the weakness due to present
diseases. Only when we have developed th is sense of


 being included in the
dietaries of all income groups. In the usual vegetarian
analysis of food selection, it is customary to rate the value of foods in part upon their moral cost of production, determined
by the death or survival of animals. Neither of these patterns
will be followed here. It is important to approach the subject
of food selection on a strictly biological basis, determining
thereby the value of uncooked foodstuffs entirely in relation to their effect upon human health. This does not mean that the
suggestions given will not be adaptable to the dietaries of all
income groups. It does mean that some adjustments will have
to be made in certain cases. Many raw foods are no more
expensive than their heat-processed counterparts, and anyone who can afford to purchase foods at all can afford to use
them. On the other hand, achieving a completely ideal
balance in the diet may involve the use of certain accessory foods which would not normally be found in the most
inexpensive diet. The very best nutrition may be restricted to
nations, states, families, and individuals who can afford to
use a wide selection of the very best of foods. Greatly
improved nutrition, however, can be achieved by every
human
group which is willin g to make certain inex pensive, though important, changes in the dietary. As to the moral
issue of vegetarianism, this too can find compatability with
good nutrition under certain conditions, but it cannot be the
determining factor in deciding what constitutes good nutrition. It is important that we approach this subject on a
scientific plane first, and then let the economic, moral, and
other issues fit into the total picture as best they can. With
these thoughts in mind, the following analysis covering the selection of uncooked foodstuffs is being presented.

F
RUITS
   In terms of historical dietary experience, man is an
omnivorous animal. In terms of comparative anatomy and physiology he is a frugivorous animal. We can ignore neither
of these facts. Man's long experience with both plant and
animal foods indicates that the omnivorous principle cannot
satisfactorily be broken all at once. His anatomical structure
and physiological function are adapted ideally to the digestion of fruits. This means that man's best diet may be
omnivorous, with a decided inclination to the frugivorous with respect to the selection of staple foods.
   Most fruits are rich in the vitamins which are usually
seriously deficient in the modern diet. They are our very best source of vitamin C, which is probably more important than any other single dietary factor for maintaining high resistance to infectious disease. In the conventional diet, the use of fruit
is restricted to an insignificant fraction of the total food
intake, and such fruits as are used are usually canned or
otherwise heat-processed. In some of the better primitive
diets, fruit was a basic food staple; in a balanced diet composed of uncooked foods, it may be regarded as the most
important single food type used.
   The variety of fruits suitable for human nutrition is very
large. Scores of basic fruit types, and hundreds of fruit
varieties, are developed in nature and have been developed
by
man. These permit the preparation of meals which have no
equal for flavor and palatability. The fruits of the temperate
zone are useful, and most kinds are readily available, although the wild varieties are not commonly marketed. Such tropical and subtropical fruits as bananas, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, dates, figs, and avocados are imported or
grown for public consumption. Guavas, mangos, papayas,
cherimoyas, and cactus fruits have been available in limited
quantities in restricted areas. Other tropical fruits have not
commonly been imported to the temperate regions, but they are of
great value for those who live in re gions where the y can be obtained. These include: breadfruit, cashew-apples,
imbus, ambarellas, red mombins, yellow mombins, soursops,
ilamas, soncoyas, sweet granadillas, purple granadillas, giant
granadillas, capulins, loquats, manzanillas, icacos, pitangas, feijoas, jaboticabas, grumichamas, litchies, longans,
rambutans, sapodillas, sapotes, canistels, kakis, mangosteens,
jackfruits, durians, tunas, carissas, and carambolas.

NUTS
   Next to fruits, nuts are the most neglected of food types in
the conventional diet. Butternuts, pecans, filberts, Brazil nuts,
English walnuts, black walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, and other
kinds are often available and should be used at every opportunity. The researches of Cajori, Van Slyke, and Osborn
have shown that most nuts contain all of the essential amino
acids and thus may be used effectively as a basic source of
protein in the diet. Nuts are also good sources of fat,
minerals, and other nutrients, and they represent a more valuable supplementary food than hitherto suspected. Other
seeds, such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, squash seeds,
and watermelon seeds, are also valuable for nutritive
purposes.
   Most nuts undergo a decided loss of flavor after they are
shelled, and some are fumigated to prevent infestation with vermin. For this reason it is usually best to purchase your nuts in the shell, which gives you a fresh and flavorful food from a
sanitary container that requires no fumigation. Sunflower
seeds and related seed products may be shelled by hand
methods, but they keep fairly well outside the shell and can
also be purchased that way. When desired, nuts and other seeds may be transformed into delicious butter by running
them through a special kitchen appliance designed for this
purpose. To save time you can also purchase ready-made nut butters. All of these nuts and other seeds, as well as the
butters made therefrom, are fully palatable in their raw state,
and they should not be salted, roasted, fried in oil, or prepared
in any other unwholesome way.
   Of special importance among the nut and seed foods is
coconut. This remarkable food is composed of one of the
most adequate nutritional balances of all plant foods. It is rich in first-class proteins, carbohydrates, and fat, and is an
excellent source of minera ls, especially phosphorus,
potassium, and chlorine. Nearly everyone is familiar with the
sugared shreds and colored coconut oil which civilized man
has manufactured from the coconut seed. But this food may
be found at its finest, both for palatabilit y and nutritional value, in its fresh, unprocessed state. The immature jelly
coconut contains the delightful, smooth, snow-white coconut
of custard-like or jelly-like texture, together with much
coconut water. The mature coconut, which is shipped to many regions of the temperate zone, is juicy and sweet and contains
a smaller amount of delicious water. Both the immature and
mature coconuts are extremely valuable in human nutrition
and can be used in a multitude of ways. Hard coconut may be
eaten exactly as it comes from the shell; it may be ground up with other ingredients into raw cakes and confections, and it
may be run through an electric juicer and converted into a
rich coconut cream, which is unsurpassed in making fine
dressings, sauces, and beverages.  Like other nuts and seeds,
coconut may also be converted into a fine butter, used for the same purposes as ordinary dairy butter, and also applied in
the preparation of confections and beverages.

V
EGETABLES
   The green leaf is the storehouse of minerals in the plant.
Animal experiments indicate that the addition of the green
leaf to a deficient diet has maximum supplementary value in
correcting deficiencies. Green leafy vegetables should
therefore be used in the diet, while the tubers and roots of
vegetables are also important, though perhaps less so.
   It has been a common practice to divide vegetables into
types which can be eaten raw and types which must be
cooked. In reality, almost all types can be eaten raw, and this
particularly applies to the root vegetables which are always
cooked in conventional methods of food preparation. Among
the vegetables which are appropriate in their raw state are: white potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, turnips, parsnips,
summer squash, zucchini squash, crookneck squash, string
beans, lima beans, peas, kale, spinach, rhubarb, celery root, cucumbers, bell peppers, kohlrabi, beets, asparagus,
Jerusalem artichokes, sweet corn, Brussels sprouts, broccoli,
rutabaga, and cauliflower. These can all be "salad"
vegetables, and when combined with those vegetables such as
have already found acceptance in their raw state, they will do
much to improve nutritional balance and pleasure of any diet.

F
LOWERS
   While the number of raw vegetables may be thus increased,
it should not be thought that this is as far as man can go in the
utilization of salad plants. Another step is the utilization of
salad flowers, which thus f ar have been almost totall y neglected in conventional meal preparation. Actually, many
common flowers found in

This  is the Explanation  of so many  Blessed  Precious
Ones.  There  are hundreds  today  who  are interested  in
Christian  Science,  who  have  had  that  exact  experience.
Sometimes,  they  fear  to go and ask why  or what  the reason
is. Let Me say to you tonight,  Precious  Hearts:—there  is not
one thing  in the whole  wide  world  of human  creation,
which  any  human  Being  in the Understanding  of his or 202 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
her "I AM  Presence,"  should  fear;  and  using  the terminol-
ogy of the blessed  Christian  Scientists,  they  mal  practice
themselves  and  do not know  it.
We have  no preference  for any  one!  We  state  the Law.
We love  every  one—the  Christian  Scientists,  Unity,  the
orthodox  people,  all mankind.  We  love  them  equally  the
same;  but  We  never  hesitate  to tell them  their  short  com-
ings.  If they  have  made  mistakes,  they  should  be strong
enough  to see it and  hear  it kindly.
It does  not matter  in what  source  your  seeking  has been;
THERE  IS ONLY  ONE  PLACE  IN THIS  UNIVERSE
WHERE  YOU  CAN  FIND  TRUE  PEACE,  REST  AND
SUCCESS.  IT IS TO  KNOW  IN  YOUR  FEELING,
YOUR  OWN  GOD  PRESENCE,  AS IT IS PICTURED
ON THAT  CHART!  IT IS THE  ONLY  PLACE  IN
ALL  THE  UNIVERSE,  BECAUSE  THE  "I AM  PRES-
ENCE"  BEATS  THE  HEART  OF  EVERY  HUMAN
BEING;  AND  GIVES  LIFE  TO  EVERY  HUMAN
FORM;  AND  THERE  IS NO  OTHER  ANYWHERE
IN THE  UNIVERSE!
To think  of God  as an Omnipresence,  is but to receive
a fragmentary  part  of Its Power.  Only  as you  have  an
Individualized  Focus,  can  you  have  a Greater  Power.  For
instance,  take  your  reading  glass:  if you  hold  it focused,
the sun  comes  thru  and  sets  the paper  on fire.  If you  keep
moving  the  reading  glass,  there  is not such  a focus.  This
is a very  good  simile  of mankind's  thought  and  feeling,
which  is swinging  all the time,  from  one  thing  to another. DISCOURSE  VIII  203
When  you  understand  your  Presence,  then  you  can
focus  your  attention  upon  the  Goal;  upon  the  objective
of your  Victory  thru  your  attention.  The  Energy  will  flow
there—the  Energy  from  the Presence,  perform  the Service
and win  the Victory  every  time.  Where  your  attention  is,
there  your  Life  and  Energy  flow.  If it be on the Presence,
the Energy  flows  in. If it be on the lower  things  of Life,
destruction  flows  into  your  Life  Energy  and  destroys  your
human  form.
Precious  People,  bear  with  Me  a moment.  Feel  this
deeply,  as I show  it to you!  Your  Life  follows  your  atten-
tion,  and  flows  to the objective,  upon  which  your  attention
is fixed  and  you  cannot  prevent  it! Therefore,  if your  at-
tention  has  been  fixed  upon  human  creations  and  limita-
tions,  you  have  to experience  human  limitations  and  cre-
ations  in your  world.  When  you  turn  it to the Presence  and
hold  it there,  keeping  your  feeling  harmonious,  you  will
quickly  begin  to release  a Greater  Intensification  of the
Light  and  Energy  from  your  Presence;  which  will  flow  in,
harmonize  and  produce  Instantaneous  Results  at your  Call.
It requires  momentum!  It requires  continued  activity!
When  we say—turn  to your  Presence,  we do not mean  all
day long;  but powerfully  and  definitely  several  times  a day.
There  are  a few  people  who  can  turn  instantly,  who
have  never  known  of the Presence;  and  feel  It so instantly
in their  feeling  and  intellect,  that  they  can upon  the issuing
of a Decree,  have  it fulfilled,  but those  people  are not many.
According  to the FEELING  OF  INTENSITY,  can  they 204 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
have  Those  Results;  but  if your  nature  is such  you  need
to make  definite  application,  then  do not hesitate  to con-
tinue,  until  the Results  are there.
Your  Application  to your  Presence  cannot  fail!  It is Self-
Luminous,  Intelligent  Substance  which  goes  forth  at your
Call;  there  is nothing  to resist  and  there  is nothing  can  in-
terfere  with  That  Light  which  goes  forth!  It will  dissolve
all unlike  Itself  as It goes  forth.  It is the Power  of the
Universe!  Therefore,  as you understand  It, and  as you make
your  Call  and  realize  why  It is not just  a Principle  of Life,
energy  and  action,  you  will  know  why  That  Light  cannot
be resisted.  It is because  the Light  is Self-Conscious  Intelli-
gence—Self-Luminous  Intelligent  Substance.
It is why,  Dear  People,  the most  terrific  viciousness  ever
focused  at two  human  beings,  has  been  focused  at these
Messengers,  for no reason  at all; but it does  not touch  them
nor interfere  with  This  Activity.  This  is why  We sometimes
take up these  points  with  the Blessed  Students;  because  for
the people  who  try to injure  them,  it is a pitiful  thing.  In-
dividuals  who  send  out  destructive  thoughts  and  feeling
will reap  them—every  one!
The Messengers  never  wished  harm  to any  human  Be-
ing in their  lives  and  never  shall.  They  love  and  bless  every
human  Being—even  those  who  criticize  and  condemn  them
and send  vicious  projections  at them.  They  know  the Law
and they  are living  It; but  the unfortunate  human  Beings
who  will  not  believe  that,  will  have  to reap  their  vicious-
ness sent  out.  They  are most  unfortunate  indeed,  for one DISCOURSE  VIII  205
day, they  will  understand  how  great  has been  their  mistake.
This  is why  We take  these  things  up concerning  your  ac-
tivities  definitely  and  clearly,  so all may  understand,  if they
will.  You  are soon  going  to have  to choose  whether  you  will
control  your  feeling  or not.  That  is why  I say this,  so pos-
itively.  Do not ever  look  around  and  blame  any  one else  for
anything.  You  are the only  person  who  is concerned.  If a
mistake  seems  to be made,  call  the Presence  into  action  to
correct  it and  take  your  mind  off it. Then  you  will  be Free!
IT IS THE  ONLY  WAY!  In this  Great  Release  of Light,
Power  and  Energy,  only  when  you  are ascended,  will  you
come  to know  how  great  has been  the Blessing  of this  night
and of this  day.  Sometimes,  We long  to release  within  you
the All-seeing-eye  which  makes  no mistakes;  so you  might
see what  is going  on in your  so-called  invisible
