Insight enables you to know your own heart.
Clarity enables you to accept without illusions.
Objectivity enables you to view any person or situation with compassion.
At triumphant moments when you say to yourself, “That was really
inspired,” all three qualities come together, and the feeling  of that union is
ecstasy. Sadly, most people do not attain even a few of these qualities until
late in life, when the maturation of experience allows the obstacles to
inspiration, particularly fantasy, projection, and judgment, to fall away.
Even then moments of inspiratio n may be rare. But the root word of inspir e
means “to breathe in,” which implies that inspiration should be a simple
thing—as natur al as breathing. When we say that someone has been
inspired to write a love poem, we mean that it flowed naturally from his or
her feeling; nothing stood in the way. There was no struggle between mind
and heart.
Inspiration is that state in which mind and heart ar e connected.
The following exercises show you how to summon inspiration and make
it your own long before you reach the end of the path.PART ONE: AN INFINITE  MOMENT
Every spiritual master has declared that the present moment is the home of
spirit; nothing to be attained in the form of wisdom, love, and vision has to
be postponed Y et we all postpone the day when we will be loving, wise, and
inspired by our own vision. This implies that the present moment is a very
difficult place to reach, despite the obvious fact that we are already there.
Every second is a door to eternity. The door is opened by per ception.
What makes each second infinite is its potential; what makes it finite is
your view of that potential. Think of an inspired moment in your life, when
you made the perfect move, said the perfect thing, had the perfect idea.
What made you so dif ferent in that moment?
You were open to something new.
You weren’ t reliving the past or anticipating the future.
You felt optimistic and open; you were not defended.
You let it happen, whatever it was.
You felt connected.
Now ask yourself if you feel that way now. If you did you would be in a
very simple, though extraordinary state: you would be in the moment.
The same preconditions take everyone into the moment, whether
Leonardo, William Blake, or just an ordinary person like me or you. A
genius like Blake may see “infin ity in a grain of sand,” whereas an ordinary
person might only feel uplifted and carefree. The differences, however, are
much less important than the similarities. If you doubt that you could
actually see infinity in a grain of sand, try the following medita tion (which
can be. done imaginarily without sand, in case none is handy).
Hold a grain of sand—ordinary  aquarium or beach sand will do—in the
palm of your hand and let your eye rest upon it. Notice its color  and facets,
any hint of glitter, the sharpness of its edges. Roll it between your fingers;
hold it up to your tongue to taste if there is saltiness or earthiness in it. This
is the grain of sand presented to you by your five senses, and most people
would say that there is not much to see in this humble object.
Now think of your grain of sand as a point surrounded by space. How
much space can you imagine? There is the room you are sitting in, whichexpands out into your house, the house into your neighborhood,
neighborhood into town—allow your mind to see this expansion suddenly
explode. Now there is the space of the whole planet, the solar system,
galaxy, and blackness beyond. Let this space also expand,  and allow
yourself to see that there is no edge to outer space, no boundary in time.
Space cannot have a boundar y because the cosmos is expanding at a
tremendous rate, hundreds of thousands of miles per minute, which is
barely slower than the speed of light in human terms. You cannot take a
stop-motion picture of the cosm os to find out where it is right now, because
at the leading edge of expansion, the universe curves back onto itself. It
must do this; otherwise there would be something outside  space, which
cannot be.
This means that your grain of sand is the center of the universe.
Now repeat the meditation using time instead of space. Look  at your
grain of sand and check the exact time. Imagine the earlier part of the day
stretching befor e and the rest of the day stretching after. Now expand the
time frame to include a day before and after, a week, a month, a year. See
time as an expa nding circle and allow it to expand as fast as it wants. Is
there a limit to this acceleration? In your mind you can instan tly envision
the moment of the Big Bang; I don’ t mean the literal event, which is beyond
mental compreh ension, only the time it takes you to bring the event to
mind. Likewise, if you want to imagine a star as it exists 10 billion years
from now, your mind can go forward to that point instantly.
Your grain of sand is the center of time, expanding infinitely in all dir ections.
If time and space both are centered on one grain of sand, then you have
seen infinity—o r as close as your present perception can carry you. The
next step is to perform this meditation without the idea of time and space.
Let your mind go blank and allow the sensation of time and space, a single
expanding circle, race away from  a point. Hold in your mind both extremes
—the point and the circle —without letting go of either. Don’ t strain or try
to visua lize too hard; this shou ld be as natural as possible. Let the circle
race away from the point until it disappears and you can no longer hold
both things in your awareness.Sense the state of your mind:
Is it open, watching, and alert?
Is it reliving the past or anticipating the future?
Is it undefended?
Did you let your meditation happen, without turning it into something?
Do you feel connected?
You may notice  any or all of these things—or none. This isn’t a test but a
way to go beyond boundaries. The value of seeing infinity in a grain of sand
is personal: you may feel like laughing or you may feel profoundly quiet,
you may have a beautiful imag e come to mind or a silky emptiness, you
may be ecstatic or inspired. Give it some time—this meditation opens the
mind, easing your old ego boundaries without your having to address them
psychologically.
The grain of sand is important. You are using this point of focus to slip
out of the net of time and space. Beyond the net lies openness, which is
pure potential. In that potential everything is possible. It is the door of the
present moment, which leads to eternity.
PART TWO: THREADS IN THE  FABRIC OF  LOVE
On the path to love, inspiration  grows. The moments of insigh t that mark
the early  stages of the path are not as profound as those that come with
mature vision. This reflects a change of consciousness, but at the same time
there is a change of reality. Being infinite, spiritual reality is infinitely
flexible. It can accommodate any perspective. All perspectives are valid, yet
those that approach nearer to God contain more of His qualities: truth,
compassion, acceptance, and love.
Your consciousness is your contribution to r eality. What you per ceive as r eal becomes r eal.
When two people come together in love, they weave a fabric of
consciousness. If the fabric is strong, then both lovers have made it so; each
loving thought and action is a thread added to the fabric. In Sanskrit the
word for “thread” is Sutra,  which also has a metaphysical meaning. A sutra
is an aphorism or formula that expresses some fundamental truth about
consciousness. When Rumi says, “Love is the sea where intelle ct drowns,”he is uttering a sutra. It expresses a truth from his level of aware ness, and at
the same time it weaves truth by adding a thread no one else has added
before. In a mom ent of clarity and insight, Rumi felt within himself that his
intellect no longer struggled against love but was absorbed into it, as if
being drowned in the sea. His sutra reflects that experience and at the same
time evokes it in us as we read it.
You and your beloved have privileged moments in which you understand
what your love is. No one else has ever had exactly the same revelations,
because you are unique people. Your inspirations are yours alone, even
though similar insights have been occurring for thousands of years. To
make your revel ations your own is important. You need to know what you
believe, how far you have come on the path together, how much growth you
have shared. Sutras can tell you all these things.
The exercise here is to write down your inspirations as they come to you.
Love grows the more you talk about it, think about it, and express it. Even
though moments of insight last only an instant, they are touchstones of
something eternal, the relations hip between self and Self. At this moment
your Self wants you to know about love but also about truth, compassion,
trust, acceptance, and devotion. These are the threads from whic h the fabric


,  Be still, and know that I am
God.   This can only be accomplished through meditation. Another way to
access the field of pure potentiality is through the practice of non-judgment.
Judgment is the constant evalu ation of things as right or wrong, good or
bad. When you are constantly evaluating, classifying, labeling, analyzing,
you create a lot of turbulence in your internal dialogue. This turbulence
constricts the flow of energy between you and the field of pure potentiality.
You literally squeeze the  gap   between thoughts. The gap is your connection
to the field of pure potentiality. It is that state of pure awarenes s, that silent
space between thoughts, that inner stillness that connects you to true power.
And when you squeeze the gap, you squeeze your connection to the field of
pure potentiality and infinite creativity.
There is a prayer in A Course in Miracles that states,  Today I shall judge
nothing that occurs.   Non-judgment creates silence in your mind.  It is a good
idea, therefore, to begin your day with that statement. And throughout the
day, remind yourself of that statement each time you catch yourself judging.
If practicing this procedure for the whole day seems too difficult, then you
may simply say to yourself,  For the next two hours, I won  t judge anything, or For the next hour, I will experience non-judgment.   Then you can extend
it gradually. Through silence, through meditation, and through non-
judgment, you will access the first law, the Law of Pure Potent iality. Once
you start doing that, you can add a fourth component to this practice, and
that is regularly spending time in direct communion with nature. Spending
time in nature enables you to sense the harmonious interactio n of all the
elements and forces of life, and gives you a sense of unity with all of life.
Whether it be a stream, a forest, a mountain, a lake, or the seashore, that
connection with nature  s intelligence will also help you access the field of
pure potentiality.
You must learn to get in touch with the innermost essence of your being.
This true essence is beyond the ego. It is fearless; it is free; it is immune to
criticism; it does not fear any challenge. It is beneath no one, superior to no
one, and full of magic, myste ry, and enchantment. Access to your true
essence will also give you insight into the mirror of relationship, because all
relationship is a reflection of your relationship with yourself. For example,
if you have guilt, fear, and insecurity over money, or success, or anything
else, then these are reflections of guilt, fear, and insecurity as basic aspects
of your personality. No amount of money or success will solve these basic
problems of existence; only intimacy with the Self will bring  about true
healing. And when you are grounded in the knowledge of your true Self
when you really  understand your true nature   you will never feel guilty,
fearful, or insecure about money, or affluence, or fulfilling your desires,
because you will realize that the essence of all material wealth is life
energy, it is pure potentiality. And pure potentiality is your intrinsic nature.
The Seven spiritual laws of Success
¶10
As you gain more and more access to your true nature, you will also
spontaneously receive creative thoughts, because the field of pure
potentiality is also the field of infinite creativity and pure knowl edge. Franz
Kafka, the Austrian philosopher and poet, once said,  You need not leave
your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Y ou need not even listen,
simply wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still,and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has
no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
The affluence of the universe   the lavish display and abundance of the
universe   is an expression of the creative mind of nature. The more tuned in
you are to the mind of nature,  the more you have access to its infinite,
unbounded creativity. But first, you have to go beyond the turbulence of
your internal dialogue to conn ect with that abundant, affluent, infinite,
creative mind. And then you create the possibility of dynamic activity while
at the same time carrying the stillness of the eternal, unbound ed, creative
mind. This exquisite combination of silent, unbounded, infinite mind along
with dynamic, bounded, individ ual mind is the perfect balance  of stillness
and movement simultaneously that can create whatever you want. This
coexistence of opposites   stillness and dynamism at the same time   makes
you independent of situations, circumstances, people, and things.
When you quietly acknowledge this exquisite coexistence of opposites, you
align yourself with the world of energy   the quantum soup, the non-material
non-stuf f that is the source of the material world. This world of energy is
fluid, dynamic, resilient, chang ing, forever in motion. And yet it is also
non-changing, still, quiet, eternal, and silent. Stillness alone is the
potentiality for creativity; movement alone is creativity restricted to a
certain aspect of its expression. But the combination of movement and
stillness enables you to unleash your creativity in all direction s   wherever
the power of your attention takes you. Wherever you go in the midst of
movement and activity, carry your stillness within you. Then the chaotic
movement aroun d you will never overshadow your access to the reservoir
of creativity, the field of pure potentiality.
APPLYING THE LAW OF PURE
POTENTIALITY
I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment
to take the following steps:(1) I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by takin g time each
day to be silent, to just Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least
twice a day for approximately thirty minutes in the morning  and thirty
minutes in the evening. (2) I will take time each day to commune with
nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. I
will sit silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the sound of the ocean or a
stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of my own
silence, and by communing with nature, 1 will enjoy the lire throb of ages,
the field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.
(3) I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement,
Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs,   and throughout the day I will
remind myself not to judge. 2
The Law of
Giving
The Seven spiritual laws of Success
¶12
The universe operates through dynamic exchange... giving and receiving
are dif ferent aspects of the flow of ener gy in the universe.
And in our willingness to give that which we
seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives. This
frail vessel thou emptiest again and again,
and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed thou hast carried
over hills and dales, and hast
breathed through it melodies eternally new.... Thy
infinite gifts come to me only on those very small
hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest,
and still there is room to fill.
 Rabindranath T agore, GitanjaliThe second spiritual law of success is the Law of Giving. This law could
also be called the Law of Giving and Receiving, because the universe
operates through dynamic exch ange. Nothing is static. Your body is in
dynamic and constant exchange with the body of the universe; your mind is
dynamically interacting with the mind of the cosmos; your energy is an
expression of cosmic ener gy.
The flow of life is nothing other than the harmonious interaction of all the
elements and forces that structu re the field of existence. This harmonious
interaction of elements and forces in your life operates as the Law of
Giving. Because your body and your mind and the universe are in constant
and dynamic exchange, stopping the circulation of energy is like stopping
the flow of blood. Whenever blood stops flowing, it begins  to clot, to
coagulate, to stagnate. That is why you must give and receive in order to
keep wealth and affluence   or anything you want in life   circulating in your
life.
The word affluence comes from the root word  affluere,   whic h means  to
flow to.   The word affluence means  to flow in abundance.   Money is really a
symbol of the life energy we exchange and the life energy we use as a result
of the service we provide to the universe. Another word for money is
currency,   which also reflects the flowing nature of energy. The word
currency comes from the Latin word  currere   which means  to run   or to flow.
Therefore, if we stop the circulation of money   if our only intention is to
hold on to our money and hoard it   since it is life


 will
satisfy ambition.

   To make for contentment, the work must occupy and
satisfy the mind. Idle minds  are dissatisfied minds. If asked
what prescription I would give children to secure their
future happiness, I would say: Teach then to love work!
work! work! We have overworked the old saying: “All
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Now it is
reverse d to: ‘`All play and no work makes Jack a bandit. ‘

   If parents cannot keep children busy, the city, county, or
state should furnish work —not in industrial schools, but the
work that is best suited to each child. A child must be busy.
Christ got busy a t twelve years of age and earlier. We must
be busy.

   As I said, contentment comes with striving, not with
possession. This is a law of psychology as l well as of
physics. We should be happy that we are not contented; for;
if we were, we should not have  anything to overcome —no
reason for striving —and, of course, fail to enjoy the work
and labor of attaining.

    “Man never is, but always to be blest. (Pope.)” Because
Pope made that statement, it should not be taken too
seriously. I have found many peop le blest who did not
know it. There are more blessings in disguise than are
found in the limelight. One of the commonest blessings of
mankind is that about ninety -nine per cent of our wants we
never realize. If most people could cut out time as often as
they wish, their lives would be greatly shortened: “I wish it
were this time next year.” “I wish now were ten years from
now; I should then be through college and established in
business.”

   The disposition of most people is to seek abridgement.
Nature ab hors a vacuum, and that is what abridgements are.
“Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford” is the ideal of all.

   Short -cuts to success; a salesmanship that means coercing
the vacillating —those of weak will, those who can be
persuaded to buy prematurely, those who do not know their
own minds; in short, inducing people to buy what they do
not need and cannot afford is called good salesmanship.
What is the matter with the people today? General
indebtedness. The sales -people have made more than they
know how to spend w isely on themselves —they do not
know how to fill their vacuums. Those who have been
persuaded to run in high when they should have stayed in low—or, what would have been better, continued to ride a
bicycle or remained on foot —are distressed because of
prem ature supply. Both extremes lack poise, and build
restlessness and dissatisfaction. The automobile is a
necessity; but it has been forced into a luxury that has far
outrun necessity. It has built great fortunes at one end, and
marked poverty at the other e nd, that will create a financial
disease called panic, unless remedied soon. Panic is another
name for a vacuum which will be filled with much
unhappiness. A prediction of five years ago.

   Getting through school without filling in the time well, by
short-cuts, ponies, and favoritism, builds vacuity. Time and
honest labor are necessary for building character,
education, and ability in any and all lines. In the physical as
well as in the mental world the old Latin apothegm applies:
Cito maturum, cito putr idum —”Soon ripe, soon rotten.”
Athletes die early. Why? Development is forced. Excessive
use of the muscular system forces an extra supply of blood
to the muscles. This in turn forces an extra supply of food
to meet the demand of waste and supply. Overstim ulation
enervates, and the toxin fails to be carried out as rapidly as
formed; hence Toxemia is established, which gradually
brings on degeneration of heart and blood -vessels. “No
chain is stronger than its weakest link.” In athletics’ the
strongest links are in constant use for all the strength they have. The stability that youth gives tissue is rapidly ageing,
with the result that the athlete dies of senility in youth.
Fitzsimmons was called the “grand old man of the ring” at
thirty-five. In this saying, which was meant to be a
compliment to the king of athletes, was an expression of
scientific knowledge beyond understanding in the sporting
world —subconsciously building better than they knew; for
in reality he had aged himself by stressing his body.

   Youth wants to move faster than good, substantial growth
justifies. Young professional men are in hot -haste to
succeed their predecessors, always confident that they can
do more than fill their places.

   Today inexperience is hot -footing civilization to a quick
maturity, and obviously to a premature end. Hot -haste has
ill-prepared even those with age to be safe advisers.
Knowledge not seasoned by time, experience, and poise
never matures.

   Poise and equanimity have become meaningless terms in
this age. The elements of success which make for ideal
maturity are lacking in the welding influence of time and
experience. The present -day mind is athletic; it is
prematurely aged at the expense of time, which is required
for stabilizing. Hospitals, penitentiari es, and insane asylums cannot be built fast enough to accommodate the
prematurely senile. That is what disease is —old-age tissue
outrunning the supply of new.

   Too many abridgments, from the kindergarten to the high
school and on through college, leave  vacuums to be filled
by the lies of civilization, and the disease and unhappiness
that false knowledge and immature judgment bring.

   Personal peculiarities, affectations, and petty habits of all
kinds are boomerangs that return to poison life’s sweet
dreams.

   Nature smiles on those who are natural; but those who
persist in grimacing, mentally or physically, she joins in a
conspiracy to distort them at their pleasure. We can be
happy and contented, or we can be unhappy and
discontented. We can make our choice, and nature will do
the rest.

   I just came from a drug -store into which I had stepped to
purchase a tube of camphor ice. The druggist fumbled, and,
being self -conscious, his self -pity made it necessary for
him to say that he was feeling bad and had been lying down
most of the afternoon. He accompanied his remarks with a
sick grimace of his features and a bodily expression of weakness. He, no doubt, would have enjoyed discussing his
discomforts with me, but I ignored the subject and passed
out. He is cultivating a sick habit that will spoil his life and
make of him a bore to all except those who frequent his
shop hunting cures. “Misery loves company.” People with
the sick habit flock together, and never appear to tire
recounting and comparing t heir discomforts. The most
insignificant symptoms are retained in memory for years.
Self-pity causes them to exaggerate, and in time they
believe the worst possible about themselves. Such a life is
ruined, unless complete reformation is made. This state of
mind brings on enervation and Toxemia. The symptoms are
a general nervousness, indigestion, constipation, coated
tongue, anxiety concerning cancer or some other malady
that may prove fatal. The muscular system is more or less
tensed. The constipation is a ccompanied by an abnormal
contraction of the rectum. The entire body is abnormally
tense. Such patients have difficulty in going to sleep, and
when they are about to drop off to sleep they are awakened
with a jerk —a violent contraction of all the muscles. These
people are light sleepers, and complain that they do not
sleep at all. A few complain of headache and nausea. They
are imitators, and often develop new symptoms after
reading about disease or listening to others relating their
symptoms.
    Many of these cases of neurosis are operated upon for
various supposed abdominal derangements. Too often
doctors treat such people for what they say is the matter
with them. Occasionally we find self -sacrificing, amiable
women who are never robust, but who live an d work
beyond their strength for others. These mothers in early life
had ambitions for a career, and the disappointment brought
on a profound enervation, permanently impairing nutrition;
for the one great sorrow prevented a full return to normal.
Fortunate ly, surcease was found in doing for others; and in
time making others happy became a vicarious nepenthe so
perfect that those whom they soothed with their sweet
smiles and cheering words often said: “Aunt Mary, you
must have lived a charmed life in which n o sorrow ever
entered.” The answer would be more smiles and
encouragement.

index is latitude, found a significant inverse correlation with solar
UVB for July.
Of the 16 types of cancer in Table 1, three have inconsistent
results in ecological studies: bladder, lung and pancreatic cancer. Bladder cancer had a marginally insignificant inverse correlation with UVB in the air pollution study,
56 and smoking is an important
risk factor for bladder cancer.48 Lung cancer is strongly linked to
smoking, but as discussed later some evidence indicates that vitamin D reduces this risk. Pancreatic cancer was directly correlated with latitude in Spain as well as in Japan.
27,34,35
The cohort study by Giovannucci et al.60 also examined the corre-
lation between a vitamin D index and cancer incidence in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study of 50,000 male physicians. Those types with a significant inverse correlation were colorectal, esopha-geal, oral/pharyngeal and pancreatic cancer, as well as leukemia. Those with insignificant inverse correlation were gastric, lung, pros-tate (advanced) and renal cancer, as well as NHL.
Differences in cancer risk with respect to skin pigmentation can
also support the UVB—vitamin D—cancer theory because black Americans produce vitamin D from UVB irradiance at about 20% of the efficiency of white Americans.
61 In the southeastern United
States, hypovitaminosis D prevalence was 45% among blacks and 11% among whites.
62 In ecological studies of cancer mortality rates
in the United States,22,23 solar UVB was inversely correlated with
several cancers for black Americans; however, the latitudes with similar mortality rates for cancers such as breast and colon were several degrees lower for black Americans than for white Americans.
7
In the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, black American men with additional risk factors for poorer vitamin D status had a much higher cancer incidence (relative risk = 1.57; 95% CI, 1.16–2.11) and mortality risk (relative risk = 2.27; 95% CI, 1.57–3.28).
60
For four types of cancer, UVB and/or vitamin D has directly
correlated with incidence or mortality rates: esophageal, pancreatic and prostate cancer, as well as NHL. We now examine such studies to see whether they contradict the UVB—vitamin D—cancer theory.
T wo studies reported that vitamin D was directly correlated
with incidence of esophageal squamous dysplasia
63 and esophageal
cancer64 in Linxian, China, a population at high risk for developing
esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Human papillomavirus is an important risk factor in regions with high esophageal cancer rates in China.
65,66 Human papillomavirus is also linked to risk of NMSC
and UVB irradiance.67 The finding that higher vitamin D correlated
with increased risk of esophageal cancer for men but not women in China
64 is consistent with men working out of doors more.
Several studies have found an inverse correlation between indices
for solar UVB and/or vitamin D and pancreatic cancer.10,26,27,34,35,68
However, a study of male Finnish smokers, aged 50–69 years at base-line, found that higher serum 25(OH)D at baseline was associated with a threefold increased risk of pancreatic cancer during an up to 16.7-year follow-up period (highest versus lowest quintile, >26.2 ng/mL versus <12.8 ng/mL; odds ratio, 2.92; 95% CI, 1.56–5.48; p
trend
= 0.001).69 With many articles reporting a beneficial role of UVB
and vitamin D, perhaps some unusual factors in Finland affected the Finnish study.
Prostate cancer mortality rates have a different geographical varia-
tion in the United States from that of the preceding 12 types of cancer. It has high mortality rates across the entire northern United States reasons are twofold: the surface elevation is generally higher in the western states, and the stratospheric ozone layer is thinner because the prevailing westerly winds push the tropopause higher as the air masses prepare to cross the Rocky Mountains.
One can use several ecological studies to examine strength of
association for many types of cancer: studies using an index for solar UVB for cancer mortality rates
22 or incidence and mortality rates24
and multifactorial studies of cancer mortality rates.10,33,43 Grant
and Garland’s10 multifactorial study included additional indices for
alcohol consumption, ethnic background, poverty, smoking and urban/rural residence. The associations with solar UVB remained similar to those in the original study.
22 The associations with the
other risk-modifying factors were in general agreement with the literature. However, when the study added an index for air pollution, acid rain for 1985, solar UVB was no longer a significant risk reduc-tion factor for the respiratory cancers.

A related study used annual average erythemal UV doses measured
by a NASA satellite with cancer incidence and mortality rates in the United States for 1998–2002.
24 Cancers with the strongest
correlations with UV were bladder, colon, esophageal, gallbladder, other biliary, prostate, rectal and vulva cancer, as well as Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Cancers with weaker correlations were breast, kidney, small intestine and thyroid cancer, as well as leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).
For two reasons, the cancers best satisfying this criterion are
colorectal and breast cancer. First, the statistics are robust because of the high incidence and mortality rates; second, the other risk-modifying factors, such as smoking for colon cancer and alcohol consumption for breast cancer, are less important.
Meta-analyses of observational studies have established dose-
response relations for serum 25(OH)D and reduced risk of cancer incidence for both colorectal
54 and breast54,57 cancers.
Also, in a meta-analysis of 10 case-control studies covering a
total of 8,243 cases and 9,697 control subjects in the United States, Europe and Australia, risk of NHL fell significantly. The composite measure of increasing recreational sun exposure (pooled odds ratio) was 0.76 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63–0.91) for the highest exposure category (p
trend = 0.01).58
Consistency (repeated observation). For consistency (repeated
observation), we examined ecologic studies because several looked at many cancer types. In addition to the studies listed in the previous section, an ecologic study of cancer mortality rates in Spain used nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) mortality rates and latitude as the indices of solar UVB irradiance and dose.
26,59 The cancers
with large significant inverse correlations with UVB indices in all four studies if iron, zinc and air pollution were also risk-modifying factors are breast, colon, esophageal, gallbladder, gastric, ovarian and rectal cancer, as well as Hodgkin’s lymphoma and NHL. Renal and uterine corpus cancers were inversely correlated with UVB in the United States but not in Spain


, and a little sugar. His red and green and black tinctures, prescribed five or ten drips at a time mixed in  a glass of
water several times daily, were only water and alcohol, some colorant and something bitter tasting, but harmless. Placebos in other
words.
    Upon confessing, Dr. Jennings had to run for his life. I believe he ended up retiring on the western frontier, in Indiana. So me of
his fo rmer patients were extremely angry because they had paid good money, top dollar for "real" medicines, but were given only
flour and water. The fact that they got better didn't seem to count.
     If the physicians curative procedure suppresses the symptom and/or lowers the vital force with toxic drugs or surgery, (either
result will often as not end the complaint) the allopathic doctor is practicing bad medicine. This doctor too will have a hig h cure
rate and a good business (if they have an effective bedsi de manner) because their drugs really do make the current symptoms
vanish very rapidly. Additionally, their practice harmonizes with a common but vicious dramatization of many people which goe s:
when a body is malfunctioning, it is a bad body and needs to be punished. So lets punish it with poisons and if that don't work, lets
really punish it by cutting out the offending part.
    However, if the physician can do something that will do no harm but raises the vital force and/or lowers the level of toxemia,
this doctor will have a genuine cure rate higher than either of the two techniques. Why does raising the vital force help? Be cause it
reduces enervation, improves the digestion, lowers the creation of new toxins and improves the function of the organs of
elimination, also reducing the toxic overload that is causing the complaint.
    Techniques that temporarily and quickly rais e the vital force include homeopathy, chiropractic, vitamin therapy, massage,
acupuncture and acupressure and many more spiritually oriented practices. Healers who use these approaches and have a good
bedside manner can have a very good business, they can have an especially -profitable practice if they do nothing to lower the level
of toxemia being currently generated. Their patients do experience prompt relief but must repeatedly take the remedy. This ma kes
for satisfied customers and a repeat business.
    The best approach of all focuses on reducing the self -generated level of toxemia, cleansing to remove deposits of old toxemia,
rebuilding the organs of elimination and digestion to prevent the formation of new toxemia, and then, to alleviate the curren t
symptoms and make it easier for the patient to be patient while their body heals, the healer raises artificially and temporari ly the
vital force with vitamins, massage, acupressure, etc. This wise and benevolent physician is going to have the highest cure r ate
among those wise patients who will accept the prescription, but will not make as much money because the patients permanently
get better and no longer need a physician. There's not nearly as much repeat business.
    Colonics are one of the best types o f medicine. They clean up deposits of old toxemia (though there are sure to be other deposits
in the body's tissues colonics do not touch). Colon cleansing reduces the formation of new toxemia from putrefying fecal matt er
(but dietary reform is necessary t o maximize this benefit). Most noticeable to the patient, a colonic immediately alleviates current
symptoms by almost instantly reducing the current toxic load. A well -done enema or colonic is such a powerful technique that a
single one will often make a s evere headache vanish, make an onsetting cold go away, end a bout of sinusitis, end an asthmatic
attack, reduce the pain of acute arthritic inflammation, reduce or stop an allergic reaction. Enemas are also thrifty: they a re self -
administered and can preve nt most doctor's visits seeking relief for acute conditions.
    Diseases of the colon itself, including chronic constipation, colitis, diverteculitis, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome,  and
mucous colitis, are often cured solely by an intensive series  of several dozen colonics given close together. Contrary to popular
belief, many people think that if they have dysentery or other forms of loose stools that a colonic is the last thing they ne ed.
Surprisingly, a series of colonics will eliminate many of these conditions as well. People with chronic diarrhea or loose stools are
usually very badly constipated. This may seem a contradiction in terms but it will be explained shortly.
    A century ago there was much less scientific data about the functioning of the human body. Then it was easy for a hygienically -
oriented physician to come to believe that colonics were the single best medicine available. The doctor practicing nothing bu t
colonics will have a very high rate of cure and a lot of very satisfied cl ients. Most importantly, this medicine will have done no
harm.

The Repugnant Bowel
    I don't know why, but people of our culture have a deep -seated reluctance to relate to the colon or it's functions. People don't
want to think about the colon or perso nally get involved with it by giving themselves enemas or colonics. They become deeply
embarrassed at having someone else do it for them. People are also shy about farts, and most Americans have a hard time not
smiling or reacting in some way when someone in their presence breaks wind, although the polite amongst us pretend that we
didn't notice. Comedians usually succeed in getting a laugh out of an audience when they come up with a fart or make referenc e to
some other bowel function. People don't react th e same way to urinary functions or discharges, although these also may have an
unpleasant odor and originate from the same "private" area.

    When I first mention to clients that they need a minimum of 12 colonics or many more enemas than 12 during a fas ting or
cleansing program they are inevitably shocked. To most it seems that no one in their right mind would recommend such a
treatment, and that I must certainly be motivated by greed or some kind of a psychological quirk. Then I routinely show them
reproductions of X -rays of the large intestine showing obvious loss of normal structure and function resulting from a combination
of constipation, the effects of gravity, poor abdominal muscle tone, emotional stress, and poor diet. In the average colon mo re than
50% of the hastrum (muscles that impel fecal matter through the organ) are dysfunctional due to loss of tone caused by impact ion
of fecal matter and/or constriction of the large intestine secondary to stress (holding muscular tension in the abdominal ar ea) and
straining during bowel movement.

The average person also has a prolapsed (sagging) transverse colon, and a distorted misplaced ascending and descending colon.  I
took a course in colon therapy before purchasing my first colonic machine. The chiropr actor teaching the class required all of his
patients scheduled for colonics to take a barium enema followed by an X -ray of their large intestine prior to having colonics and
then make subsequent X -rays after each series of 12 colonics. Most of his patient s experienced so much immediate relief they
voluntarily took at least four complete series, or 48 colonics, before their X -rays began to look normal in terms of structure. It also
took about the same number, 48 colonics, for the patients to notice a signif icant improvement in the function of the colon. In
reviewing over 10,000 X -rays taken at his clinic prior to starting colonics, the chiropractor had seen only two normal colon X -rays
and these were from farm boys who grew up eating simple foods from the ga rden and doing lots of hard work.
The X -rays showed that it took a minimum of 12 colon treatments to bring about a minimal but observable change in the structure
of the colon in the desired direction, and for the patient to begin to notice that bowel func tion was improving, plus the  fact that
they started to feel better.

From my point of view the most amazing part of this whole experience was that the chiropractor did not recommend any dietary
changes whatsoever. His patients were achieving great succes s from colonics alone. I had thought dietary changes would be
necessary to avoid having the same dismal bowel condition return. I still think colonics are far more effective if people are  on a
cleansing diet too. However, I was delighted to see the potenti al for helping people through colonics.
    For me, the most interesting part of this colonic school was that I personally was required to have my own barium enema and X -
ray. I was privately certain that mine would look normal, because after all, I had bee n on a raw food diet for six years, and done
considerable amount of fasting, all of which was reputed to repair a civilized colon. Much to my surprise my colon looked jus t as
mangled and dysfunctional as everyone else's', only somewhat worse because it had  a loop in the descending colon similar to a
cursive letter "e" which doctors call a volvulus. Surgeons like to cut volvululii out because they frequently cause bowel
obstructions. It seemed quite unfair. All those other people with lousy looking colons ha d been eating the average American diet
their whole life, but


 aware that I was aware.
     There was nothing extraordinary about this. On the contrary, the fact of
simply being aware, or awareness itself, was clearly the most familiar and inti -
mate aspect of my experience. However, I had previously overlooked it, so
exclusively focused was I on my experience – on this occasion, the content of
the music.
     In time, my attention was again drawn to the music, but I noticed that
at certain points during the recital it spontaneously disengaged from it and
returned effortlessly to the fact of being aware. It even felt at times as if my
attention were being pulled backwards, away from its content, towards the
fact of simply being aware, or awareness itself.
     After some time, I noticed that I had the ability to travel backwards and
forwards with my attention, between the music in the foreground and the
presence of awareness in the background.

I began to explore this new faculty, and at some point it became clear that
in between the background of being aware and the foreground of the music
there was an intermediary layer of experience, a middle ground, so to speak,
of thoughts, feelings and sensations of the body.
     There were now three elements of my experience: one, the external world
(consisting of the concert hall, the audience and the music); two, my mind
16know thyself
and body (comprising the internal world of thoughts, feelings and sensations);
and three, in the background, the fact of being aware or awareness itself.
     It was as if I had taken a step back from my mind and body, with which
I normally identified myself. They were now part of the foreground of my
experience and I was standing as the presence of awareness behind them,
watching them just as I was watching the performance.
     As my attention travelled back and forth between these three realms,
it occurred to me that the person I normally considered myself to be – my
mind and body – was itself part of the objective content of experience that
I was aware of, along with the auditorium, the audience and the music.
     In particular, I noticed that my thoughts and feelings were a layer of
experience that not only was added to my experience of the world, like subtitles
superimposed upon a movie, but also through which I interpreted the world.
     Some time later I would also notice that my experience of the world was
itself filtered through my sense perceptions, which impose their own limita -
tions on whatever is perceived. This would, in turn, give rise to the question
as to what the world is in itself, beyond these limitations. But for now, this
challenge to my customary sense of myself was enough.

a shift in identity

At some point a question spontaneously arose in my mind: Who am I really?
Am I the thoughts, feelings and sensations that I am aware of, or am I the
one that is aware of them?
     I was familiar with the Indian sage Ramana Maharshi’s use of such ques -
tions, a method known as ‘self-enquiry’, but had found it rather heady and
abstract. No doubt the question that emerged at this stage was prompted by
my previous interest in these matters, but nevertheless it arose in me this time
as if for the first time and was profoundly connected to my experience.
     This questioning was not just a mental exercise. Nor was it a method
I was practising in order to bring about a certain result. It seemed to be taking
place spontaneously, although I was cooperating with it.
     It became obvious that whatever it is that knows our thoughts and images
is not itself a thought or image. What is that?
     Whatever it is that is aware of our feelings and sensations is not itself
a feeling or sensation. What is that?
17you are the happiness you seek
     Whatever it is that perceives the world is not itself a sight, sound, taste,
texture or smell. What is that?
     It is simply that which knows or is aware. It is our self. It is awareness or
consciousness itself. *

Until this recognition I had considered myself to be a person, a body-mind,
an amalgam of thoughts, feelings and sensations. It seemed to be myself
as this person  who was aware of the world. As such, I considered awareness
an attribute  of the body-mind, a faculty that I as a person possessed.
     I now realised that the person I previously imagined myself to be was
something that I was aware of, along with my experience of the world.
     I recognised that I was essentially that which knows  or is aware of  the
entire content of experience, including the thoughts, images, memories,
feelings and sensations that constitute the mind and body.
     I realised that it is not myself as a person  who is aware of the world, but
rather myself as  awareness  that is aware of the person and the world.
     The transition from the belief that we are a person with the faculty of
awareness to the understanding that we are awareness itself may seem like
a small step, but it has enormous implications for any individual and for the
evolution of humanity as a whole. Indeed, I would suggest that it is the
next evolutionary step, and that upon which the survival of humanity, as we
know it, depends.

The understanding ‘I am awareness’ is the first great understanding.
     This is not an extraordinary recognition or something that is difficult to
access. In fact, it is enshrined in common parlance. We say, ‘ I know  my
thoughts and images’, ‘ I am aware  of feelings and sensations’ and ‘ I perceive
the world’.
     In each of these statements, we recognise ourself as the knowing, aware
or perceiving  element, and thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and percep -
tions as objects  that we know, are aware of or perceive.
     In other words, we are not essentially our thoughts, images, memories
or stories about our life; we are that which knows them. We are not essentially
our feelings or sensations; we are that which is aware of them. We are not the
18* The terms ‘awareness’ and ‘consciousness’ are used synonymously throughout this book. know thyself
sights, sounds, tastes, textures and smells that constitute our experience of
the world; we are that which perceives them.
     We are nothing that is experienced; we are that which experiences.
     We are not essentially anything that we are aware of; we are simply the
fact of knowing, being aware or awareness itself.

letting go

I understand that I’m not my body or mind, but who would I be if I were to let
go of everyone and everything with which I associate and identify myself?

You would be the same inherently peaceful and unconditionally fulfilled self
that you are now, although you do not currently recognise your self as such
because of your entanglement in, or identification with, the content of ex -
perience. The only difference is that what you now consider a distant possi -
bility would become your lived and felt experience.
     Every night you willingly and effortlessly let go of everyone and everything
with whom you associate or identify and fall deeply asleep. In the experience
of deep sleep you are all alone. Everything that is not essential to you has been
removed and, as a result, you experience the peace of your true nature.
     If letting go of everyone and everything were a traumatic or frightening
experience, we would dread falling asleep at night. But we look forward
to it! Why? Because it gives us access to the peace of our true nature,
which is veiled by the activities of thinking, feeling, acting and relating
during the day.
     In fact, when we fall asleep we do not enter a new state. We are always
essentially the presence of awareness. However, during the waking and
dreaming states, we forget or overlook this or, more accurately, it is obscured
by thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions. In these two states aware -
ness is so thoroughly mixed with the content of experience that it is not rec -
ognised as such. It is veiled by experience.
     Likewise, when we emerge from deep sleep into the dreaming and waking
states, the presence of the awareness that we essentially are does not change
or disappear. It is simply veiled by experience. Our essential self of pure
awareness does not need to be liberated. It is already and inherently free of
the content of experience.
19
     So it is not necessary to let go of anyone or anything. All that is required
is to recognise our essential nature of pure awareness that lies behind all
experience and shines in the midst of all experience.
     Nor will you lose your ability to think, feel, act, perceive and relate.
On the contrary, these activities will be greatly enhanced by this new under -
standing of your self, for the one on whose behalf they arise, and in whose
service they are undertaken, will be clearly known.

If the presence of awareness is the primary fact of experience, why are most of us
not in touch with it?

It is simply because we become lost in or identified with the content of our
experience. If someone were to ask

 CHAPTER 6
:
Drinking Water and Cancer

Recently, prior to starting a 40 day fast on distilled water, I
made an
appointment with my doctor at the VA Medical Center in
La Jolla
, California.
At first the doctor was very much opposed to
a 40
-day fast, especially
since I purposed to eat no food at all,
and drink
 nothing but distilled water.
But after explaining that I have been fasting this way every
year for
 over
40 years, she seemed to be a little more receptive.  Especially after
viewing the lab results of my blood cells
, cholesterol
 levels and blood
pressure. She was amazed
to discover
 that at age 65, I seemed to have
the
“
heart of a 25-year- old
”
 – and the results of my blood test were
“
excellent.
”

My doctor asked me why I was drinking distilled water as
opposed
to
 any
other kind, which prompted me to ask her what type
of water
 she drank. I
was shocked to hear that she and her
family drink
 San Diego
’
s water from
the tap. My next question to
her was
, “Do you have any idea how many
pollutants are present
in San
 Diego
’
s municipal drinking water?” The
doctor
immediately retorted
,
“
If it wasn
’
t safe to drink, I
’
m sure they would
let
us know
.
”
 By the time I finished sharing with her what I knew
about the
chemicals and carcinogens (all at “safe levels,” according
to the
 EPA), as
well as water and its relationship to health, she
was ready
 to purchase a
reverse osmosis filter.

This is a small example of the serious problem we have
with regard
 to the
ignorance of Americans in trusting our
government with
 our health.
Regardless of where you live, if you were to
call up
 your local water utility
and ask them if there are
any dangerous
 chemicals or carcinogens in the
municipal
drinking water
, they would say yes, several, but they are all at
safe levels.  When I drink water, I would like to think that it is H
2
O
plus
nothing
: pure, clean and healthy. I do not want to be
concerned with
 many
dangerous, cancer-causing substances at “safe” levels.

Fortunately, many communities across the U.S. are voicing concerns
about the potential and known links between the chemicals found in
municipal water and cancer. Even though water utility companies are
required by law to follow specific guidelines with regard to the levels of
cancer-causing chemicals, there is much debate on what exactly are
“
safe levels.
”

As a result of much public concern, new laws have been enacted requiring
water utilities to publish the results of their water testing every year for
public review. Therein lies the problem: virtually no one reads these
reports or, for that matter, even know they exist, let alone have knowledge
of the situation. Consequently, the general public continues to drink water
that is by no means healthy or safe.

A glass of city water is not going to kill you or give you cancer any more
than one cigarette will give you cancer; it is that cigarette after cigarette
after cigarette.
O
r glass after glass after glass of tap
water. One
 of the
most serious cancer-causing chemicals found in our tap water was put
there by the water utility company,
“
for our safety and health.
”
 Chlorine is
widely known to cause cancer in humans, yet it is the safest chemical
available to control water-borne diseases. Not only is chlorine a
carcinogen, but when it comes into contact with humic acid (decayed plant
and animal matter), it creates Trihalomethanes.

 Some
THMs
 are:

Chlorodibromomethane
Chloroform
Bromoform
Lodoform
Dichlorobromomethane
Fluoroform
Chlorodifluoromethane

Now, as a result of adding one cancer-causing substance, chlorine, we
have eight carcinogens which are linked to rectal, bladder and pancreatic
cancers. Yet another chemical added to our water for our health and well-
being, fluoride, has also been determined to cause cancer. The national
toxicology program study found that fluoride is linked to cancers affecting
the pharynx, mouth and rectum. Another study published in the Journal of
Environmental Pathology, Toxicology and Oncology found fluoride directly
linked to a rare bone disease, osteosarcoma.

Most people are aware that there are hundreds of chemicals being
released into the environment every year; yet none of these is being
tested to determine whether or not they cause cancer in humans, or at
what specific level they are deemed to be safe.

With thousands of chemicals found in our nation
’
s water and food supplies,
imagine what astronomical combination of compound chemicals could be
created exponentially. If the result of combining chlorine with humic acid
can create eight carcinogens, then what can the result be of mixing
hundreds of unknown chemicals on the environment or our bodies?

No water utility has the ability or technology to remove this
soup
of
potentially hazardous chemicals from our water supplies.
Keep in
 mind that
this is true with most bottled water companies,
the majority
 of which obtain
the water they bottle from the
same source
 as the water utility.

Many experts believe that the majority of disease in the
world today
 comes
from our unhealthy drinking water in
combination with
 dehydration (not
drinking enough water). So if you want
to live
 healthier and longer, drink
plenty of pure, clean,
healthy distilled
 or purified water and eat plenty of
fresh fruits
and vegetables
.

CHAPTER 7
Does Bottled Water
Provide Health Benefits?

What’s In Your Bottled Water – Besides Water?

Twenty-nine brands have ignored California’s new disclosure law. More
than a quarter of the water bottles purchased in California did not list
certain consumer information on the label or failed to provide a water
quality report when contacted by EWG, as is required under state law.
These brands include Fiji Natural Artesian Water and Green Planet Pure
Handcrafted Water.”
NRDC
 is the nation
’
s most effective environmental action group, combining
the grassroots power of 1.3 million members and online activists with the
courtroom clout and expertise of more than 350 lawyers, scientists and
other professionals.

The New York Times

How does drinking bottled water affect the environment?
8.

If I drink tap water, should I use a filter and what types of filters

9.

How can I obtain test results on my tap water?

Isn
’
t bottled water safer than tap water?

No, not necessarily. NRDC conducted a four-year review of the bottled
water industry and the safety standards that govern it, including acomparison of national bottled water rules with national tap water rules,
and independent testing of over 1,000 bottles of water. Their conclusion is
that there is no assurance that just because water comes out of a bottle it
is any cleaner or safer than water from the tap.
In
 fact, an estimated 25
percent or more of bottled water is really just tap water in a bottle –
sometimes further treated, sometimes not.

2. Can bottled water actually be unsafe?

Most bottled water appears to be safe. Of all the bottles
we tested
, the
majority proved to be high quality and relatively
free of
 contaminants. The
quality of some brands was spotty
, however
, and such products may
pose a health risk – primarily
for people
 with weakened immune systems
(such as the frail, elderly
, some
 infants, transplant and cancer patients, or
people
with HIV
/AIDS). About 22 percent of the brands we tested
contained
, in
 at least one sample, chemical contaminants at levels
above
strict
 state health limits. If consumed over a long period of time
, some
 of
these contaminants could cause cancer or other
health problems
.

3. Could
 the plastic in water bottles pose a health risk?

Recent research suggests that there could be cause for concern
, and
 that
the issue should be studied closely. Studies have
shown that chemicals
called phthalates,
 which are known to
disrupt testosterone
 and other
hormones, can leach into bottled
water over
 time. One study found that

THVROlD~ CANC£~ FAR1NG1T1S
Ma. Rosalba C. of Ramirez. { Mexico }
I am 47 years of age and I had 5 children.
f thank God for the knowledge of the Urine-therapy.
I want to give my testimony by this means to aU people
of how 1 am and how 1 cured myself. 1n the year of 1980,
I had a very hard automobile accident.
They needed to remove one organ from my body.
From that day on I was very sick.
In the year of 1993, near the month of July, after passing by a very sad situation
of two brothers who died I also had other medical problems.
I began to suffer depression, headaches and neck, cramps in the hands and feet.
J also felt strong palpitations in my heart. My eyes were becoming deformed.
They were swollen and bulging. There were nights that I could not sleep and was
suffered from the insomnia. I began to lose weight. I felt that I was drowning.
I could not go to the bathroom alone. I was always very thirsty.
1 have a brother who is a doctor and began to give me medicine.
He gave me liquid prescription but it did not help me.
He had to commit me to the hospital where he works until midnight.
There they gave me several medicines and they did several exams.
The Doctors of the hospital told me my Thyroid gland was not working properly.
Tablets were prescribed for me and I was taking them over a year.
I improved a little, but when taking the tablets, I was nervous and I trembled.
They sent me to a second hospital with a specialist to see if she could cure this
disease. The pressure started when a ball in the neck started growing.
I no longer could take the medical drugs.
From this hospital they sent me to a third hospital.
There they gave me nuclear medicine.
It was iodine-radioactive for which I felt much fatigue and several different
symptoms. I was isolated. I was without strength.
I felt only that I wanted to lay down. I went again to the Doctor, after 15 days,
because the symptoms had no improvement.
The doctor said that I was to continue taking the medicine.
I felt that the iodine had not served me well and became very sick followed by
throat problems and bronchitis. I took 6 to 8 daiJy medicines.
My kidneys began to hurt and I no longer knew if I should continue to take the
medicine. One day my husband took me to the hospital for a checkup and now,
they detected a tumor in the bust.
1 worried more because my body was filling with diseases.
67 One day, in the month of May of 95, they invited me to witness with a notary, for
writings. I was accompanied by my neighbors and friends.
That day a neighbor said that urine was good for all diseases and that it was in
the Bible. In PROVERBS 5 to see 15-18. On the following day I began to take only
a Uttle with water, because I did not know how to take it.
When I began to take urine I had bronchitis.
I was taking medicine for the thyroids and also antibiotic for my other problems.,
I followed with the urine.
Soon the moment arrived that the drugs made me sick.
Little by little I was leaving the medicine, I did not have further indications of
problems, nor did I have need to go to the Doctors conference.
After 3 months in 1997, arrived in my hands a report that I was cured from my
problems. It was when I began with my urine fasts.
Later I had the opportunity to go to a conference. I am cured of the thyroids and I
no longer have the ball in the neck, or feel very depressed.
No longer volumes of medicines and the cyst in the bust disappeared.
The varicose veins in the legs are gone. Already I can see without glasses.
I want aff the people to know of this wise knowledge so that all people will be
healed and without spending money.

Ma. of the Refuge To de Aldrete { Mexico}
I am 50 years of age, and I had 5 children.
I was born here in Guadalajara, JaUsco, Mexico and later moved to
Veracruz, Mexico. From youth I suffered of low pressure.
There were occasions in which I had only up to 60.
It later raised and now it gets up to a 180*120.
In November of 94, 1 began to have my feet fa11 asleep.
Soon the legs and finally it advanced that my whole body was asleep without
movement and the body was very swollen. I was in bed almost a year.
The Doctors diagnosed me with Diabetic Neuropathy.
They filled me full of medicines.
I took from 8 to 10 tablets daily. With a lot of work and pain I began to move.
My sister visited me at my house from Vera Cruz with her husband and their
family.
When they arrived at my house they gave me news that God Our Father,
by means of Urine, was healing sick incurables
We invited another diabetic brother who lives in Orizaba and they taught us the
who1e picture of the theraphy.
Soon I began the process of urine therapy, offering to God and the sacrifice to
Our Jesus Christ.
68 In addition we made the decision to come to Guadalajara to listen to a
conference. This was to learn better methods of this therapy to take back to
Veracruz. For 3 weeks I took the urine and I continued taking the medicine.
I felt high pressure and one day I was feeling so bad that it could not move.
~ stopped the medicine and on the foUowing day l felt in a perfect state of health.
I forgot that I stopped the medicine. One hour later I got a strong heart beat and
now f am without anything of medicine and very well of health.
Now at the present time with the therapy, the swelling disappeared.
1 can walk by myself since it only walked with the aid of somebody or in a
wheelchair, and the nervous system that caused me insomnia,
now feels very relaxed, sleeps perfectly, thanks to God and the Urine-therapy.

I suffered from headaches for more than 20 years. I took my urine and on the
fourth day I rid myself of my blood clots. When I did the urine fasting, the pain left

Ernesto R. Martinez.[ Mexico }
I have been diabetic for 17 years and have had an infinite amount
of diverse treatments.
In fact I have taken different medicines without knowing any clear result.
I started with antibiotics and lowered much weight I could not walk normally.
It hurt my body. A year ago I started on insulin.
They injected 25 units and my glucose never was in the normal limits.
My state of health deteriorated.
69 My sister-in-law, brought the video to me of Urine-therapy.
I knew from the first moment that this one could help me,
and began to take all the urine from the first day.
Now 4 months ago to the date, the results have been wonderful.
My glucose is in normal limits, I have increased weight and I feel far better.
I want to clarify that I suspended the insulin and all medicines.

I have a daughter who from 8 months of age,
suffered high temperatures of 41C degrees.
I heard on the radio about a conference, but I did not take much importance.
Short1y the father of my temp1e said that a conference in the temp1e wou1d occur.
I went. After the talk,
I left very convinced and I began to give the urine to my daughter.
The 20th of May of 1996 I began to give my daughter the therapy and by

We found that my daughter


. Who you have
held on to as being you—your o pinions, your desires, fears, what you’re invested in—
has gott en a little hazy around the edges. Life is feeling strangely easy. Joyful even.
What happens just... happens. Y ou’re okay with it, really and truly okay. No opinion
about it floats a cross the radar screen. It’ s gotten very quiet inside your head. Y ou
realize h ow ver y hard you’ve b een working, your entire well-meaning life. Life just
began for you.”
Jan Frazier, fr om  Opening the DoorC H A P T E R  5  S u m m a r y
The hab it of believing our own  thoughts r obs us of being
able to live in th e magnificence  and glory of who we r eally
ar e.
It’ s your thoughts about a person, cir cumstance, or event
that’ s the sour ce of negative sit uations in your life, not the
actual person, cir cumstance, or event.
Thinking was made to or der what you want. Thinking isn’ t
needed for anything else because everything else is taken
car e of by A war eness.
Y our mind is n ot your brain. Y our brain doesn’ t think.
Thoughts come fr om your mind.
Y our mind is m ade up entir ely of thought. If ther e’ s no
curr ent thought, ther e’ s no mind.
Most people believe their own th oughts as though they wer e
facts, which explains why life is str essful and challenging
for so many.
It’ s n egative thoughts that ar e the cause of our str ess and
suffering, so we need to become particularly awar e of
negative thoughts.
When we believe our thoughts, we’r e immediately caught in
an i maginary mind-made movi e that’ s playing inside our
head, and we’r e no longer experiencing the world as it
r eally is.
Thoughts ar e also r esponsible for causing our feelings, and
then in turn our feelings will cause mor e thoughts.
Ther e’ s nothing wr ong with the mind; the tr ouble only
begins when we believe its negative thoughts.The one who gets angry, hurt, worried, anxious, or
disappointed is not the  real you. It’ s your mind.
The mind only has thr ee differ ent kinds of thoughts. The
mind measur es, compar es, and describes.
One of the biggest lies our mind has convinced us of is the
story that we ar e a body and a mind.
Another story our mind has co nvinced us of is the story
about time. T ime is an illusion—a mental concept cr eated by
the mind.
All that r eally ex ists is this pr ese nt moment. Past and futur e
exist only in the form of thought.
Y ou don ’ t have to eliminate yo ur mind or go to war with
your mind. A war eness is your w ay out of the turmoil of the
mind.
When yo u obser ve your thoughts instead of getting lost in
them, you see them for what they ar e: something separate
fr om you that you can either choose to believe, or not.C h a p t e r  6
Understanding the Power of
Feelings
It is possible to live your life w ithout ever being thrown about by negative
feelings again. When you live from the A wareness that you are, negative
feelings won’ t af fect you in the same way as they do now. The real you is pure
happiness at all times and under  all conditions. It can be hard t o imagine that
you can bring an end to negative feelings af fecting you, but you  will discover
for yourself that you can.
“Negative feelings are destructive. What we are is constructive.”
My teacher
Through practic ing the methods shared in this book, I don’ t suf fer from
extreme negative feelings anym ore. If any negative feeling appears, it’ s quite
soft, I notice it i mmediately, and  it dissolves on the spot. Earlier in my life, I
used to be throw n about by negative feelings as if I had just stepped into a
hurricane. But after I discovered  The Secret, I became acutely aware of how
I’m feeling from one moment to the next. And if you’re aware of how you’re
feeling, it’ s just one more simple step, as you will discover, to dissolving
negative feelings for good. When you are free of all negative feelings, what
remains is the Infinite A wareness that you are, and your life will be absolutely
breathtaking.
“Once you realize how ef fortless the highest way of life is, it takes
tremendous ef fort to assume the opposite.”
Lester Levenson
It helps to diminish their power over you if you understand what feelings
really are.
Feelings (and thoughts and sensations) are simply a movement of ener gy.
Ener gy vibrates,  which means feelings, like thoughts, also vibrate. Dif ferent
feelings vibrate  at dif ferent frequencies. Good feelings vibrate at higher
frequencies, and  they’re very be neficial to the body and positiv ely af fect thecircumstances surrounding your life. Y our positive feelings a lso benefit all
other beings and the planet as a whole. Negative feelings vibrate at low
frequencies, and  they’re detrimental to the body, to your life circumstances,
other beings, and the planet. B ut where do feelings come from in the first
place?
Thoughts create  feelings. The ki nds of thoughts you have will create the same
kinds of feelings. After having  happy thoughts, you feel hap py. And once
you’re feeling happy, it’ s not possible to have angry thoughts at the same
time. Happy thoughts cause happy feelings, which cause more happy
thoughts. Likew ise, if you feel angry, that feeling has come from having had
angry thoughts. Thoughts and f eelings always match; thoughts and feelings
are two sides of the one coin.
If a situation arises and you allo w negative thoughts and feelings to take over
you, you will l ikely continue to experience one thing going wrong after
another in your day. However, when you feel good, your day will have one
good thing following after another. What you feel inside will match precisely
with what you experience in the world around you.
“Y ou no w know  that nothing co mes into existence from the ou tside, and that
everything first comes from thinking and feeling it on the inside.”
Fr om  The Secret
Positive Feelings
Have yo u noticed that all good feelings require zero ef fort? When you’re
feeling good, you feel as light as a feather, and you feel as though you have an
unlimited supply  of ener gy. If you become sensitive to how you’re feeling,
you will notice the positive ef fect those good feelings are having on your body
and mind.
Feeling good doesn’ t mean you’re like a cheerleader at a football game,
jumping up and down with excitement. As you no doubt would have
experienced, if you get overexcited, you dissipate all your ener gy, and you’re
exhausted afterward.
Feeling good is like how you feel at the end of a big day that went really well,
or when you’re chilled out on vacation, or when you’ve exercis ed hard, had a
shower, and then sat down to e njoy dinner or your favorite s how. Y ou feel
relaxed. Y ou feel a sense of relief. Y ou let go, and you feel a peaceful
happiness. Y ou know those tim es when you say, “Ahh, this is nice”? This is
what feeling good feels like. If y ou could let go of your white-knuckle grip on
life, you  would automatically fe el this good, because feeling goo d is your true
nature. I n fact, whenever you feel good, it means you must have  let go of bad
feelings, enabling good feelings to naturally appear.
“Good feelings are to be enjoyed. They are the expression of joy and take us
back to joy, which is our true nature. Just enjoy them; be one with them.”
Francis Lucille, fr om  The Perfume of SilencePositive and good feelings are a result of saying “Y es” to what is  happening in
life. Positive feelings come from “Y es, I want that,” “Y es, that would be nice,”
“Y es, that’ s good,” “Y es, I love this,” or “Y es, that sounds great.”
There’ s not a p roblem with positive or good feelings. Happin ess and good
feelings, after all, come from A wareness. Bask in good feeling s, milk them,
and fall in love with them.
Negative Feelings
Negative feelin gs are a result of you thinking or saying “No!” about
something that’ s happening. Negative feelings come from “No, I don’ t want
this!” It could be something hurtful a person said or did; someon e disagreeing
with you ; or a circumstance, big  or small, that didn’ t go the wa y you wanted,
such as having an ar gument; running late; a health


 number one?” They said, “It is you. It
is yourself, David.” They mean t the personality self. But when  you go
into true service, you are turning  that advice around. Always look out for
the One—the One Source. As you give yourself over to this devotion,
the Holy Spirit will give you every step so as to serve in the best way to
heal and undo the blocks to love’ s awareness in your mind. Everything that we do in forgiveness is so that we can remove those
blocks to love, so we can love God and our neighbor as our self. Literally, as our self, not like we are loving somebody else— we just
radiate this Self-love. The more we are able to for give illusions, the more
love can pour through our consciousness and the more aware we become
of how powerful that love is. We cannot be conduits for Christ, conduitsfor Spirit, when we are fearful. This means a moment-to -moment
practice of suspending our judgments, doubt, and fear. The light will
wait until we are clear and calm. A Course in Miracles  offers this prayer: “I am here only to be truly
helpful. I am here to represent Him Who sent me. I do not have to worry
about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me. I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me. I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.” That is such a beautiful
prayer. I used that prayer every time I would go through a doorway,
entering a situation. Whether I was going to the grocery store, to the
laundromat, to A Course in Miracles  group, to visit my grandmother, to
pick up cat food, or wherever, I would just pause and silently let the
Spirit give me that prayer becau se it would orient my mind to what I was
really going through the door for. I oriented my mind to being there to be
truly helpful rather than to just accomplishing tasks. I wasn’ t there to get in and out of the grocery store as fast as I could
with the best prices and with the best ingredients. That was the old
pattern. I missed a lot of holy encounters and wasted a lot of time when I
was rushing through, jumping from line to line, trying to save time,
reading ingredi ents on packages, and comparing prices. Grocery
shopping was a long, tedious thing before the Holy Spirit got a hold of
me. Then I woul d pray the praye r. I would go in, usually get some items,
but I would be smiling, meeting people in the aisles, and talking to
people. If the Holy Spirit guided me to a long line, I would go in the long
line and have a wonderful discussion. Even if the cashier was new and
she rang up the wrong price or she dropped the change, I had all the time
in the world, and I could tell her everything is okay. You become patient and lovin g when you say this prayer. You
become helpful and you’re there  to extend the attitude. You’re not really
there to buy the groceries; that’s secondary. Then you start to apply this
true helpfulness to everything, even at work and with your relationships. You start saying, “Oh, this is the healing in my mind; this is what my
body is suppose d to be used for.” You get your mind turned around the
right way, and then life gets really gentle, graceful, and flowing.When I was in Bali, I was paying for some groceries, and the
cashier gave me a piece of cand y shaped like a heart. It had the words “I
love you” on it, and the cashier  did the namaste  (a greet ing of love and
respect that inclu des a slight bow with the hands pressed togethe r) to me. I thought, This is the way to go grocery shopping, instead of “Have a
nice day,” and boom, on to the next one. It was presence; it was so
beautiful. That gives us an idea how we can live our lives with presence,
with grace, with love, and with kindness coming from our heart. Everything Comes from Devotion; You Don’t
Need to Figure it Out! In the process of waking up, everyone is given a part to play. But it’s
given from the inside. You don’t even have to figure it out. You can trust
and relax. You can start right now; you can just take some deep  breaths
and say, “I don’t have to figure my life out.” And another deep breath, “I
don’t have to fix my life.” Anot her deep breath, “I don’t have to fix my
body.” Another deep breath, “I don’t even have to figure out how to
maintain this body because when I let go of the ego, everything is given,
everything that the body could need or use is given freely.” Breathe. A
very difficult question that we ponder on Earth is What am I going  to do
for a living? Your living can be given to you moment by moment. All
you need to do is turn your life over to the presence of the Holy Spirit,
and if there’ s a word to say or if there’ s a smile to give, it will happen. Whatever you need will be given! Let your life be a life of devotion, with integrity, so you can—in a
friendly way—say, “Come along, come and see, come in closer.” It’s
about transparency. The way you live your life can be extremely
transparent because when your mind holds only what you think with
God, you have nothing to hide or protect. You can afford to be a really
open book when you live a devoted life. You can say to people, come,
come closer, come as close as you want. Just Extend the Joy Regardless of DifferencesI love traveling around the world meeting so many different people. At
times somebody will come up to me and say, “I’m an atheist.” And we
just have the most wonderful time together. We don’t even have to go
into the issue of belief or unbe lief. We just share the joy and the love. And the Spirit uses whatever words are needed—if I’m talking to a
scientist, I just zoom right into quantum physics, and they love it. They
light up. And if I’m with somebody who identifies as a Christian, it’s so
biblical. And they’re like, “Yeah! Praise God!” When I’m with
Buddhists, it comes out in the Buddhist way. They say, “Yeah!” We’re
meant to connect and join and rejoice with everybody, not to split hairs
over illusory beliefs. In the end, who cares if they believe in God or they
don’t? I just rejoice in love no matter what they believe. In this sense,
service is the same as nonjudgm ent and true complete open-mindedness. So, we can be truly helpful and connect with everyone and feel
connected without any barriers. One time, I went to an Americ an Indian reservation, and I met a
teenager along with his mother and father. The father was totally into the
Native American tradition. The mother had been raised Catholic. She
was totally into Jesus and had no interest at all in the Native American
tradition. I could feel a big disconnect between the parents and the
teenager. I went on a walk with the father, and the Holy Spirit poured
through me completely using Native American symbols. It was all about
no boundaries, everything is connected, and everything is the Spirit. Then, I went with the mother, I spoke using Christian terms, and she was
just so happy. Her love of Jesus was so strong; I had such a connection
with her. Then I went with the teenage son, and he was not interested in
Native American culture or Jesus at all. He was into The Matrix. And we
shared a deep connection because it was all spoken in Matri x terms:
Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, the sentinels, and so forth. Everybody has their
own perceptions, they relate to Source in their own way, and they have
deep experiences, but the semantics are completely different. The Holy
Spirit is not bothered by the semantics or the seeming beliefs. And that’s
why we train our minds: so we can be fully present, complet ely, with
whomever we are with. Because it’s really our self, and all we really
desire is love and connection. And the Spirit knows the way. The Spirit
will inspire us and show us. It could be through music; it could be
through anything.When you realize that the body is a communication device, you see
that you’re meant to smile through it, laugh through it, hug through it,
and speak kind and gentle words through it. You’re meant to let the
wisdom of the whole universe pour through the body. This way you’re
going to teach exactly what you would learn. Just like when you learn to
ride a bike; you need practice. Nobody just hops on the bike and goes
riding the first time. There is a need for practice, sometimes with training
wheels. You have to be gentle with yourself when you start to teach what
you would learn. If you have love inside and you bottled it up for some
reason, maybe you’ve been afraid and asking, “What will it mean if I am
loving? What will the world say?
