 OR CRITICIZES  YOU,
BUT  YOURSELVES.
Let Me say something  else—this  is so Magnificent!  Hu-
man  Beings  who  criticize,  condemn,  judge  or release  any
of those  qualities,  are criticizing  and  condemning  them-
selves  because  they  are Life.  They  are condemning  Life,
which  has never  offered  them  anything  but Good!  Oh,  that
mankind,  wayward  mankind,  would  understand  these
Simple  Activities  of Life;  and  then  give  the necessary  obe-
dience,  to allow  all mistakes  to be erased  from  Individuals'
worlds  forever!
In the Fulness  of all you  hold  dear,  remember  Precious
People,  first  there  is the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence
of all Life,  as you  observe  It on the Chart!  Don't  you  see
you are a Part  of That  Great  Perfection?  You  cannot  be
deprived  of It, if you will  give  It attention.  Then  realize  the
Imperative  Demand  of Life;  not the demand  of someone,
but the Imperative  Demand  of Life,  so you  no longer  re-
qualify  Its Great  Pure  Energy,  as It is flowing  into  your
body  and  out into  your  world.  By understanding  the im-
perative  need  of doing  it, you will  allow  That  Energy  to go
forth  in Its Natural  Practical  Activity;  to produce  Health,
Happiness  and the Limitless  Supply  of everything  you need,
for use in your  world. 296 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
It is the most  Practical  Law  in all the Universe!  There  is
nothing  in the physical  world  today  in mechanics  or any-
thing  else,  which  is so practical  as This  Law  of Life  when
understood;  to produce  dynamic,  definite,  certain,  All-
powerful  Results!  IT CANNOT  FAIL  AND  NEVER
DID!  I WANT  YOU  TO  UNDERSTAND  THAT,  BE-
LOVED  PEOPLE!  Your  Application,  if you  are honest,
sincere  and determined  cannot  fail!  It never  did!  If it seems
to, it is only  because  some  quality  is still acting  in your  feel-
ing world,  of which  you  are unaware;  or you  are continu-
ing to accept  the appearance.
Let Me make  just one illustration  and  that  is concerning
money  supply.  I have  watched  among  the students,  a few
Individuals  who  make  the Call  dynamically  and  earnestly,
and ten minutes  after,  will  begin  to accept  in their  feeling
world  as true,  the appearance  of their  financial  limitation.
You cannot  have  Results  and do that,  not in the Quick  Full
Manner  you would  like  to have.  Of course,  as you continue
to call,  it will  beat  down  human  feeling.  Stand  guard  over
your  feeling,  when  you have  made  your  Dynamic  Applica-
tion for your  money  supply;  and  the moment  any  slightest
feeling  of doubt  or discord  starts,  stop  it and say: "Stop!  Not
one thing  is going  to generate  here,  to interfere  with  This
Call!  My Presence  is the Authority  and Power  in my world!
Don't  you attempt  to interfere"!  Then,  you will  govern  the
feeling  within  yourself,  as sure  as "I AM"  telling  you,  and
you must  do it! Then,  after  awhile,  when  you  make  your
Application  human  feeling  will  not be there  to act! DISCOURSE  XXII  297
Take  the Messenger  for illustration.  Blessed  People,  you
will never  know,  what  He went  thru  in those  earlier  years.
Even  when  Beloved  Saint  Germain  sent  them  forth  to give
out This  Work,  still  some  doubts  and  fears  were  in Him.
When  He understood  how  to silence  that  feeling  with  an
iron grip,  and  make  it be still;  in a short  time,  it was  no
longer  there  to act. Today,  when  He issues  a Decree,  He
knows  there  is no opposition,  and  of course  the answer  is
there!  The  answer  is within  the Call!
We saw  him  reading  a letter  last night,  or this morning
about  2:00  o'clock,  and  a blessed  one had made  the Call  for
help.  The  letter  stated:  "You  did not answer  my letter,  and
yet the Healing  was  Complete."  Beloved  Ones,  if you were
to understand  and  realize  the thousands  of answers,  In-
stantaneous  Healings  of conditions  and  bodies;  and  all the
limitations  of mankind—which  are released  at His  Call,
you would  know,  that  you too, can do the same  thing.  Only
He has gained  the Full  Confidence  in His Call  to the Pres-
ence,  which  no longer  allows  requalification  to act upon  the
energy  as He calls  It forth.  You  can do the same  and  you
must  do it; because  you must  make  your  own  Application.
You are the one in your  world  who  must  take  the initia-
tive. Then,  whatever  assistance  can  be given  is well  and
good;  but REMEMBER,  NO  ONE  CAN  TAKE  YOUR
PLACE  IN YOUR  WORLD.  You  must  be firm,  deter-
mined  and  dynamic  in YOUR  APPLICATION—espe-
cially  at first;  until  you  break  down  the human  creations,
which  have  pressed  upon  you  and  limited  you,  as you  un-298 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
derstand  it, thru  this  embodiment.  Remember,  there  can-
not be any  effect  in your  world,  without  a cause  for it!
EVERY  CAUSE  IS FIRST  IN THE  FEELING  WORLD,
BEFORE  IT CAN  OUT-PICTURE  IN THE  PHYSICAL
BODY  OR IN YOUR  WORLD  OF ACTION.  Therefore,
if the cause  of limitations  and  discord  is removed,  then
there  is nothing  left to interrupt  This  Great  Pure  Mighty
Energy  of the Presence  as It flows  forth!
Beloved  Ones,  is there  any  one  of you  who  doubts  the
Reality  of the Eye  Picture,  which  the Chart  represents  to
you;  that  your  Presence  is really  there  above  you—the  Pres-
ence  of ALL  Life ? Let Us show  you the proof,  Dear  Hearts!
Take  a human  form  which  an hour  ago  was  so happy,
energetic,  filled  with  Light,  Buoyancy  and  Power.  When
Life has withdrawn,  the body  lies there  helpless.  All the
organs,  all the faculties  which  were  acting  are there  still,
but the body  is helpless!  Then  where  was  that  Intelligence,
power,  substance,  energy,  and  activity,  which  was  acting
thru that  body ? Right  there  in the Stream  of Life  and  En-
ergy from  the Presence  of ALL  Life.  When  It withdrew,
the body  was  helpless.  Then  everything  which  ever  acted
thru that  form,  all the Power,  Intelligence  or whatever  it
might  have  been,  was  the Power  and  the qualities,  which
came  thru  the Stream  of Life  beating  each  human  Heart.
You cannot  deny  that!  There  is not a human  Being  on
the face  of This  Earth  who  can deny  it. There  was  a Pres-
ence  of Life  which  was  in that  form  which  is no longer  ac-
tive. The  Presence  of Life  was


 by steam distillation whichis the best method. Another effective method combines
de-ionization and reverse osmosis.
The body is constantly working for you, breaking
down old bone and tissue cells and replacing them withnew ones. As the body casts off the old minerals and
other products of broken-down cells it must obtain newsupplies of the essential elements for the new cells.
Scientists are beginning to understand that various kinds
of dental problems, many types of arthritis and someforms of hardening of the arteries are due to imbalances
in the body’s levels of calcium, phosphorus and
magnesium. Disorders can also be caused by imbalancesin the ratios of various minerals to each other.
Each healthy body requires a proper balance within
itself of all the nutritive elements. It is just as bad forany individual to have too much of one item as it is tohave too little of that one or of another one. It takes
appropriate levels of phosphorus and magnesium to keep
calcium in solution so it can be formed into new boneand teeth. Yet, there must not be too much of those nor
too little calcium in the diet, or old bone will be taken
away, but new bone will not be formed.
In addition, we now know that diets which are
unbalanced and inappropriate for a given individual candeplete the body of calcium, magnesium, potassium, andother major and minor elements. Diets which are high
in meats, fish, eggs and grains or their products may
provide unbalanced  excesses of phosphorus. This willdeplete calcium and magnesium from the bones and
tissues of the body and cause them to be lost in the urine.
A diet high in fats will tend to increase the uptake ofphosphorus from the intestines relative to calcium and
other basic minerals. Such a high-fat diet can produce
similar losses of calcium, magnesium, and other basicminerals compared to a high-phosphorus diet.163
Natural supplements are good insurance to insure that you are getting
enough minerals, vitamins and nutrients to maintain your health.Mineral Imbalances are Dangerous
Diets excessively high in fruits or their juices may
provide unbalanced excesses of potassium in the body and
calcium and magnesium will again be lost from the bodythrough the urine. The body likes a healthy balance!Deficiencies of calcium and magnesium, for example, canproduce all kinds of problems in the body. They rangefrom dental decay and osteoporosis to muscular cramping,hyperactivity, muscular twitching, poor sleep patterns andexcessive urination frequency or uncontrolled patterns ofurination. Similarly, deficiencies of other minerals, orimbalances in the levels of those minerals, can producemany other problems in the body.
That’s why it’s important to detoxify and clean the
body through fasting and through using pure, distilledwater as well as healthy, organically-grown vegetables andfruits and their juices. At the same time, it’s also importantto provide the body with adequate sources of newminerals. This can be accomplished by eating a widevariety of organic garden salads and vegetables. Alsoinclude kelp granules – great sprinkled over foods, salads,etc. and try other sea vegetables. These help producehealthy mother’s milk for infants. Give the healthier RiceDream, nut
(almond, etc.)  or soy milks to children and
adults who are affected  (mucus, colds, asthma, etc.)  by milk
products. We don’t endorse dairy products  (page 223).
But despite dietary sources such as these, many adults
and children in so-called civilized cultures will be found tohave low levels of essential minerals in their bodies.These deficiencies are caused by coffee, tea, carbonateddrinks, colas and long-term bad diets ( too much sugar, fats,
salt, refined foods, and toxic additives ) and lack of exercise.
In addition, the body’s organ systems can be thrown
out of balance by continuing stress and toxins in our airand water, and disease-produced injuries and by prenataldeficiencies in the mother’s diet or lifestyle. As a resultpeople may need to take a natural mineral supplementsuch as the chelated multiple mineral preparations andalso a multiple vitamin supplement.164Ask Yourself These

Terminator Seeds are sterile crop seeds patented and marketed by the
Monsanto Corp. that have been biologically altered to sprout a permanentlyinfertile plant. The large scale use of these seeds (which is already underwayin over 78 countries) could directly threaten the well-being of 1.4 billion peoplewho now depend on food grown with fertile seeds. This would present a hugerisk to the world because it could spread and sterilize all living plants, trees,etc. Farmers
(and their neighbors, with plants ‘accidently’ cross-pollinated by

of these farmers financial ruin would result and bring on misery and faminefor millions worldwide. Monsanto’s seed program has no benefits for theworld – only for the company’s greed and pocketbook. Discover Monsanto’s

Your body is the most gloriously accurate instrument
in this universe. Given the correct fuel, pure air, exercise,
sunshine and internal cleansing by fasting, your bodywill function perfectly and last almost indefinitely. Ahealthy body is an efficient chemical factory. Given thecorrect raw materials, it should be capable (except foraccidents) of developing strong tissues and goodresistance against most bacteria, viruses and otherenvironmental toxic factors.
It is the only fine machine I know of that contains its
own repair shop. It’ll work wonders if you give it theproper tools! It is constantly working for you. Its cellsare being destroyed and renewed every second.Biologically, it has no age limit. In fact, there is nobiological reason for man to grow old at all. The bodyhas the seed of eternal life. Man does not die. He commitsslow suicide with his unhealthy habits of living.
Scientists tell us that almost every cell in our body is
renewed every
 11 months. Then why should anyone
speak of being old? Don’t you believe the moth-eatenfallacy that man, as he gets older, must face decrepitude,decay, senility and death! If people knew what to eatand only ate what they should, Old Father Time wouldshoulder his scythe and walk off in the other direction!
Most people are suffering from mineral and vitamin
deficiencies. Research shows that millions are victims ofmalnutrition. The body’s millions of red blood cells areconstantly dying and being replaced; some are beingrenewed every second. They can’t be rejuvenatedproperly without the right substances and these mustcome from healthy, natural foods.166
When recovering from accidents, fractures, etc. take extra mineral and
vitamin supplements to nourish and help your body heal faster.Healthy Foods Build & Maintain Your Body!
The person you are today,  tomorrow, next week, next
month and  10 years from now depends on what you
eat! You are the sum total of the food you consume. How
you look, feel and carry your years all depends on what
you eat! Every part of your body is made from food - the
hair on your head, your eyes, teeth, bones, blood andflesh. Even your expression is formed from what you
eat, because the healthy man is a well-fed, happy man.
We often jokingly say, “What are we going to feed our
faces?” when it is plain that we mean our entire bodies
(including our faces) are ready for nourishment.
We can begin anywhere in the body, but it’s best
starting with the skeleton which supports all othertissues. Superficially, our bones are largely minerals –
mostly calcium and phosphate. One might suppose thatonce the skeleton is formed, nutrition of the bone stops.
This is far from true! Using “isotopic tracers” biochemists
have found that, even in an adult body, minerals areconstantly leaving and entering the bones. This meansthat


 deeply
understand yourselves. And even if you cannot understand my
words immediately, some of them may take root in your psyche and
come to fruition later. Full understanding of this lecture may reach
you only as you work your way through the deep layers of your
unconscious where what I say here will apply.
There are two basic ways to approach life and the self. Or, to put
it dierently, there are two fundamental possibilities for human
consciousness: the dualistic and the unied plane. The majority of
human beings live predominantly on the dualistic plane, where you
perceive and experience everything in opposites: either/or; good orbad; right or wrong; life or death. In other words, practically
everything you encounter, every human problem, is shaped by this
dualism. The unied principle combines the opposites of dualism.
By transcendin g dualism you will also transcend the pain it causes.
Few human beings transcen d the dualistic plane, so most people
experience only an occasional taste of the limitless outlook, the
wisdom and freedom of the unied plane.
On the unied plane of consciousness there are no opposites.
There is no good or bad, no right or wrong, no life or death. There is
only good, only right, only life. Yet it is not the kind of good, or
right, or life that comprises only one pole of the dualistic opposites.
It trans cends them both and is completely dierent from either one.
The good, the right, the life that exist on the unied plane of
consciousness combine both dualistic poles, so no conict exists.
This is why living in a unied  state, in absolute reality, creates bliss,
unlimited freedom, fulllment, and that unlimited realization of
potentials which religion calls heaven. Heaven is usually thought to
be a place in time and space. This, of course, is not so. Heaven is a
state of conscio usness that can be realized at any time by any entity,
whether a human being in the esh, or one who does not live in a
material body.
Understanding Is the Way to the Unied Plane
The unied state of consciousness is attained through
understanding or knowingness. Life on the dualistic plane is a
continuous problem. You have to struggle with the arbitrary,
illusory division of the unied principle, through which things
become oppo sites that impose conicts. This creation of
irreconcilable opposites generates a tension within and therefore
with the outside world.
Let us understand this particular struggle, and therefore the
human predicament, a little better. You already have, in your real
self, a unied state of mind, regardless of how unconscious and ignorant
you may be of it. This real self embodies the unied principle. Now,even those who have never heard of such a thing have a deep
longing and a mostly uncons cious sense of a dierent state of mind
and life experience than the one they know. They yearn for the
freedom, blissf ulness, and mastery of life that the unied state of
consciousness aords.
This longing is misinterpreted by the personality, partly because it
is an unconscious yearning for happiness and fulllment.  But let us
understand precisely what is really meant by these words. They
mean the unication of the dualistic opposites, so that there is no
longer any tension, conict, or fear. Consequently, the world
becomes alive and the self is master, not in a tight, tense, hostile
way, but in the sense that life can be exactly what the individual
determines it to be. The freedom, mastery, and bliss of this
liberation are sought after consciously and unconsciously.
The misinterpr etation of this longing occurs partly because it is
unconscious—only a vague feeling deep within the soul. But even
when the theoretical knowledge of such a state exists, it is still
misinterpreted for yet another reason. When freedom, mastery,
unication, and the resulting bliss of the unied state of
consciousness are pursued on the dualistic plane, a tremendous
conict must ensue because they are absolutely impossible to
accomplish on that plane. You strive for the fulllment of your deep
longing to transcend and nd, deep within yourself, a new state of
consciousness where all is one. When you seek this on a plane
where all is divided, you cannot ever nd what you seek. You will
despair and split yourself further apart in conicts, for illusion
creates duality.
This happens overwhelmingly among people who are ignorant of
these possibilit ies, but it also happens among people who are more
spiritually enlightened, yet are nevertheless ignorant both of the
dierence between these two planes and of how they can learn to
transcend the dualistic plane in their practical daily existence.
When the vague longing for, or the precise theoretical knowledge
of, the unied plane of consciousness is misread and therefore
sought on the dualistic plane, here is what happens: You sense that
there is only good, freedom, right, beauty, love, truth, life, without athreatening opposite, but when you apply this on the dualistic
plane, you will immediately  be plunged into the very conict you
seek to avoid.  You then ght for one of the dualistic aspects and
against the other. Such a ght makes transcendence impossible.
Let me demon strate this in a familiar, everyday human problem,
so that you can understand these words more concrete ly. Let us
assume that you are quarreling with a friend. You are convinced,
from where you sit, that you are right; therefore, immediately, the
friend becomes wrong. With dualistic understanding issues can only
be either/or. The outcome seems to matter more than the issue
itself, for when the intensity of emotions is truly tested, it often has
no relationsh ip to the issue at stake. It would rather be
commensurate with a life-or-death issue. Although you may think
this irrational on a consciou s level, on an unconscious level being
wrong truly means being dead, for being wrong means being denied
by the other. On the dualistic plane, your sense of identity is
associated with the other person, not with your real self. As long as
you experience yourself only as the outer ego-self, you will depend on
others. Hence, a slight quarrel truly becomes a matter of life or
death, which explains the intensity of emotions when it comes to
proving your right and the other’s wrong. Only when you have
realized the center of your being, which embodies unication, does
your life cease to depend on others.
On the dualistic plane each issue ends with either life or death.
Life becomes terribly impo rtant in order to avoid death. Often
people fear death so much that they run into it head on. Such
individuals do not escape fear of death. Quite the contrary. Their
constant strug gle with life, which results from their fear and
struggle agains t death, renders them so unhappy that they believe
they don’t fear death. This is an illusion as long as life is
experienced on the dualistic plane, as long as one side is viewed as
important and is fought for, and the other side is seen as a threat
and is fought against. As long as you feel that you must win because
your side is true, while the other’s is false, you are deepl y involved
in the world of duality, and therefore in illusion, conict, andconfusion. The more you ght in this way, the greater the confusion
becomes.
Human beings are habitually trained by upbringing, and
everything they learn from their surroundings agrees that one must
ght for one and against the other of any number of opposites. This
applies not only to material issues but even more to conce pts. Every
truth can thus be divided into two opposites, one being adhered to
as the “right” and the opposite aspect being declared the “wrong”
idea. In reality, however, the two complement one another. On the
unied plane, neither aspect  is thinkable without the other. There
the complements are not “enemies” or negations of each other; only
on the dualisti c plane of consciousness are they so opposed. There
every conict multiplies into intricate subdivisions of the primary
dualistic split. Since all this is a product of illusion, the longer the
conict continues, the less it can be solved and the more hopelessly
enmeshed you become in it.
Let us now return to our exam ple and demonstrate how this is so.
The more you prove your friend wrong, the more friction exists and
the less you obtain what you thought you would by provin g yourself
right and your friend wrong. You believe that by proving yourself
right and your friend wrong, your friend will nally accep t and love
you again and all will be well. When you do not succeed, you
misinterpret that and try harder, for you think you have not
suciently proven that you are right and the other is wrong. The
rift widens, your anxiety increases, and the more weapons you use
to win


my finger. So, I put my index finger in the air and told my friend that I
was going to call the butterfly to ride on my finger. She was all for it. I
called to it telepathically, “Com e on up. There is a great view here. The
butt is okay, but you’ll like it up here. You can be like a little hood
ornament.” And it did! It flew around, landed on my finger, and stayed
there with its little antennae out. Of course, my friend laugh ed even
harder. It was a fun walk, with the butterfly symbolizing our innocence.
Like children, animals respond to defenselessness. When you are
meek, joyful, and innocent, you draw forth many reflections. At our
monastery, the chipmunks come right up our legs. It is like a Saint
Francis moment. Everything we see is innocent. I see this truth in people
and events. I am into not seeing error. I am into seeing innocence
everywhere and in everyone. This is why people and animals, and even
butterflies, want  to be near me. When the mind is whole and not split,
you see only innocence, and you feel happy and loving all the time!
The Split
Imagine for a second an awake mind. This mind is used to the
wholeness, sameness, and constancy of Heaven’ s oneness. Suddenly, a
doubt thought seems to arise. Now the mind has two irreconcilable
thought systems —one of love and one of fear. The tension from trying to
hold this split together is intolerable since the two thought systems haveno meeting point and are total opposites of each other. There fore, the
mind attempts to see the split outside instead of within, where it was
conceived. Thus, a world of duality and opposites is made: a place with
opposing views and changing desires.
The ego says, “I know how you can alleviate this terrible tension:
just get rid of your feelings of pain and guilt by projecting them  out onto
the world.” This is how pain, fear, doubt, and sorrow became the
common experie nce of this world. This is how the mind made a world of
duality, of up and down, of good and bad, and of right and wrong. The
only reason we seem to experience health and sickness, war and peace,
life and death, and all the variations, degrees, and extremes is simply
judgment. That is the trick of this world. Whenever we judge or
condemn, the mind is projecting, and says, “That person, thing, or
situation out there is at fault.”  It does this to cover the guilt of the
separation from God, which, believe it or not, is at the core of every
conceived problem in this world. It makes the world into a smokescreen
as it thinks it can be free of the guilt by putting it outside, while
believing it is actually within. It is only by believing there is darkness
within that our mind would ever attempt to project it outside.
How Good Is Good Enough?
Growing up in this world, there is a lot of pressure and high expectations
to do something constructive, develop skills, and gain special knowledge
to develop a life skill for self-suf ficiency. We’re told that it’s important
to get higher and higher degrees and accumulate more and more special
knowledge. This is stressful, and it’ s coming from a strong cultural belief
in perso nal responsibility, whic h has, at its core, a sense of guilt. It’s
built in to the system, and it seems noble and good, yet the pressure for
self-reliance is hurting us.
Not many can escape the questions running in the back of our
minds: How good is good enough? Did I do enough? Did I fulfill
obligations? Did I live up to standar ds? The ego sets us up to be forever
stressed-out, always thinking that there is something we could change or
make better. This is rigid learn ed behavior, but another perspective isavailable, a perfectly different and perfectly gentle means and
perspective.
A Course in Miracles  says, “In no situation that arises do you
realize the outcome that would make you happy.” Not in some—in none!
But you’re not left hanging; the next lesson states, “Everything is for
your own best interests.” Everything! This can feel just as shocking as
the first message.
All things work together for good with no exceptions except in the
ego’s judgment. Talk about undoing the analytical mind! Suddenly,
there’ s no point in trying to analyze or judge anything. What a relief!
Our Deepest Problem
The deepest problem that we have is the thinking, the stereotyping, the
breaking-things-apart mechanism. I call this the “I-know” egoic mind.
The ego is always fragmented; it made up a fragmented world, and it’s
always categorizing, analyzing, diagnosing, and fixing things. It’s very
much a dysfunctional thought system, based on the myth of separation.
In the traditiona l Genesis story, God said to Adam and Eve, “Don’t
eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” But the serpent
lured Eve into taking an apple, and she gave one to Adam. Then,
according to biblical myth, they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
This is the fall from grace—the separation from God after which a lot of
darkness and fear arose in the mind, reflected in the form of wars,
division in religions, and all kinds of insane pursuits. The exercise of
religions is largely an attempt to find a way to return to God’ s love
through ritual and tradition.
I would like to propose a different path than ritual and traditio n, a
different story about a God that didn’ t kick anyone out. We can call this
the metaphysical take on the traditional story: let Adam and Eve
represent you and I, and in this story, we never left God. And he never
abandoned us. Here, the “fall” is nothing more than a perceptual
distortion, a vast illusion in which the mind believed  that it pulled offsomething that in reality is impossible: separation from an all-knowing,
all-loving creator.
We have very powerful minds that are capable of imagining, or
“thinking up,” this whole univer se. In my revision of Genesis, there was
no apple. We simply asked a question: Could there be anything more
than Heaven or oneness, more than everything? This question was like a
little puff of madness since “more than everything,” more than perfect
love and harmony, is of course completely impossible. Imagine this idea,
this question, or this doubt thought as one of those little white dandelion
puffs blowing across the road. This powerful mind of ours allowed the
thought, this puff, to spread. It was of course a totally ludicrous idea, but
instead of laughing it away with our all-powerful, divine mind,  we took
it seriously. Taking this puff of an idea seriously made us forget the truth
that we have everything and are one with God. We closed ourselves off
and started dreaming we were a tiny part of an impossible world. Many
people ask me how this could happen if our mind is part of God’ s and if
we are divine. The truth is, it didn’t happen apart from our belief, and
there’ s a true knowing or aware ness of this once all our false beliefs are
questioned and released.
Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at
which the Son of God remem bered not to laugh. In his
forgetting did the thought become a serious idea, and
possible of both accomplishmen t and real effects. Together,
we can laugh them both away, and understand that time
cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that time
can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no
time.…
It is reasonable to ask how the mind could ever have
made the ego. In fact, it is the best question you could ask.
There is, however, no point in giving an answer in terms of
the past because  the past does not matter, and history would
not exist if the same errors were not being repeated in the
present.The Answer to a World of Duality
Many mystics call this the world of duality. This is what the story of
Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden builds for us. Adam and Eve
wanted to hide in the Garden,  so they covered themselves and their
“private parts” with fig leaves. They felt guilt and shame for what they
had done. By way of this analogy, at the moment of the fall or
separation, because the guilt feels so awful, the mind projects this guilt
out as the time-space cosmos, which then becomes like a giant fig leaf
under which the mind tries to hide from its creator. The mind wants to
hide what it believes are its private thoughts because it’s terrified of
God’ s love, so it makes a fake identity, the persona.
God is pure love and oneness. He has no awareness of separat ion;
thus, He cannot  come into duality. The world of duality is the illusory
hiding place for the sleeping mind that believes it has separated from
God. To this mind, the ego says: “Here is your new home now. Be
content with the body and the world as your new home


 1/2
pound from yesterday and a total loss of 18-1/4 pounds after 22 days of fasting. Blood
pressure 90/65. Slight fuzziness in the head. One B.M. containing some type of
unhealthy tissues from the intestinal tract that the body is finally breaking down and casting out. Very comfortable day, but I don't look forward to the long night ahead,
because of being in bed most of the time and taking naps. Furtherm ore, I find fasting
to be one long 24-hour day with no breaks, such as when one is eating three times a
day. I stay up late, read a little until the book drops out of my hands, and then try to
get to sleep at one o'clock in the morning. Then I wake up wondering how long I have slept, look at my watch and see it is only 10 or 15 minutes later. So I concentrate
intently, fall asleep, and wake up thinking the sun will soon be up. But I glance at my
watch again and it is perhaps only a half-hour later. This is the battle I fight almost
every night during my fast. I'm thankful for my little radio.
   Saturday, September 26, 1964 --Fast, 24th day: Weight 121-1/2 pounds; a loss of 1/2
pound from yesterday and a total loss of 18-3/4 pounds after 23 days of fasting. Blood
pressure 100/60. More salt being excreted through my mouth--causes mild stinging of
the tongue. A wonderfully comfortable day, the only annoying problem being the
almost complete dryness of my tongue and mouth with a slight pasty-like mucus. True
hunger and desire for food absent. Almost no in testinal gas. Several small, fetid, pus-
like rectal discharges. I'm amazed at how fine I feel generally. In fact, this is the best I
have felt thus far. I feel as though I could continue the fast indefinitely. The further I
get into the fast, the cleaner the mind and body become as deep-seated poisons and
wastes are eliminated. This produces profound changes. (From here on I experience
unusual clarity of mind, increases in visual acuity, hearing, and smell, greatly increased mental endurance, and an extreme general awareness. For example, I
brought with me a variety of crossword puzzles, books, and a chess set. Ideally, one
should refrain from anything that taxes any of the senses and burdens the mind during
a fast; that also includes television. howeve r, a little occasional light reading does help
pass the time. During the early stages of my fast and even before fasting I could do a crossword puzzle or two, work out a little problem with my chess set, or read to my
tolerance, which would be about 20 to 30 pages. But from this point deep in the fast,
until its termination, amazing things happen: as a fairly decent chess player, I now
become unbeatable; as a good crossword puzzle solver--but always finding it necessary to use the dictionary for such words as xerus or xat, etc.--I now have instant
recall of words that I would ordinarily have to look up in the dictionary; and my mental endurance allows me to read not just double or triple the number of pages I
mentioned before, but entire books of 200 to 300 pages without tiring. I don't do these
things to set any records; nor do I do them to pass any endurance tests. In fact, I don't
make all these things a daily routine because I don't want to jeopardize my chances
for a successful fast. I only cite these examples to show some of the marvelous, positive benefits that can accrue from a fast.) The comparative inactivity of the colon
at this point is a blessing.
   Sunday, September 27, 1964 --Fast, 25th day: Weight 120 pounds; a loss of 1-1/4
pounds from yesterday and a total loss of 20 pounds after 24 days of fasting. Blood
pressure 90/60. Very little gas formation. Se veral small, liquid B.M.s. I can describe,
in one word, the way I feel at this point-healthy! Weak as I am, I can feel health
coursing through my body. But within this weakness I feel a tremendous inner strength. It is difficult for me to describe  this feeling because one must experience it
to understand. Thoughts of food preoccupy my mind. The monotony of routine annoys me. Slept at intervals.
   Monday, September 28, 1964 --Fast, 26th day: Weight 119-3/4 pounds; a loss of 1/2
pound from yesterday and a total loss of 20-1/4 pounds after 25 days of fasting. As I
get deeper into the fast, I find myself having more and more positive thoughts and a
feeling of well-being. There seems to be a profound inner calm. Through this experience, so far, I have learned a wonde rful self-discipline. Today was similar to
yesterday. Missing my family is what bothers me most now. I think of my children
often. I think of my wife and the joys we shared together before I became sick. I want
very much to be home with them. I feel myself getting better with each passing day.
I'm going to make it! There is no doubt in my mind. I actually tremble with
anticipation.
   Tuesday, September 29, 1964 --Fast, 27th day: Weight 120-1/4 pounds; a gain of 1/2
pound from yesterday. I could not believe that after 26 days of fasting and living off
my stored reserves there would be a weight ga in. It just couldn't be possible. I went to
three different scales, but each gave the same reading. My blood pressure today is 96/66. I'm eliminating so much "junk" from my system that the foul taste keeps me on
the brink of nausea. In fact, there are times I find it necessary to take a half of a grape
and brush it across my tongue to prevent vomiting. At this point, I can taste some of
the drugs being eliminated through the mucous membranes of my mouth, the most
predominant being phenobarbital. Wide awake and alert. Have been going outside to sit in the sun at intervals. I have incentive. When I perspire, it is not salty. I also notice
that if perspiration from my forehead runs into my eyes, there is no stinging or
irritation. This evening, Dr. Gross introduced me to a man who had just arrived at the
Manor. He had suffered a heart attack six m onths prior to coming here and his doctors
gave him up, but he found out about fasting, et c., and decided to give it a try. The man
was afraid to fast. He didn't believe anyone could survive without food for any great
length of time and this is why I was introduced to him; so he could see someone who
has been fasting for four weeks and is not only alive, but recovering health. This
meeting helped him make a decision to fast--and the results were nothing short of
fantastic. (In another section I'll mention some of the dramatic cases I observed and followed up over the years, so you can understand the amazing recuperative powers
that reside within us if the conditions of health are supplied.)
   Thursday, October 1, 1964 --Fast, 29th day: Weight 118-1/4 pounds; a loss of 1/2
pound from yesterday and a total loss of 21-3/4 pounds after four weeks of fasting. Blood pressure 85/60. Tongue remains heavily coated. Breath and taste extremely
foul, almost to the point of nausea, as the body is still eliminating its toxic load. No
hunger. Only one B.M. today, which was foul and pus-like. Much belching associated
with vague, all-over chest discomfort and discomfort in my neck and throat when I
swallow. This is known as a "crisis" of which there can be few or many different types during a fast. Must be careful on rising to a sitting or standing position since
light-headedness is yet a factor. (One morning, for example, there came a loud
knocking at my door. It awakened me and I jumped right out of bed to answer the
door. I blacked out immediately, but before I hit the floor I caromed off the walls like
a billiard ball on a table as I fought to stay on my feet. That was one thing I didn't repeat.) This chest discomfort is accompanied by a rather persistent cough. I note this
because there is a lessening of muscle control and a weakness of the diaphragm and
other muscular units which aid in coughing. This makes coughing quite difficult and
is a strange sensation, since it requires great  effort and then the cough really does not
come out as a cough but as a forced expiration.
   Friday, October 2, 1964 --Fast, 30th day: Weight 117-1/4 pounds; a loss of 1 pound
from yesterday and a total loss of 22-3/4 pounds after 29 days of fasting. Blood pressure 82/56. The chest, neck and throat discomfort greatly eased, but the weak

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Your Body’ s Many Cries for W ater;

These powerful quotes from  F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.’s  book
• Pure water is a natural medication for a variety of health conditions.
• Chronic cellular dehydration can painfully and prematurely kill. Its initial
outward manifestations have until now been erroneously labeled
as diseases of unknown origin.
• For the process of digestion of food, water is the most essential ingredient.
If the body has the necessary water in it before we eat food, the battle
against cholesterol formation in the blood vessels might be won.
• Cholesterol production in the cell membrane is a part of the cell survival
system. It is a necessary substance. Its excess denotes dehydration.
• Pure water is the cheapest form of medicine to a dehydrated body!

On several occasions during my father’ s boyhood in
Virginia, his parents took him to the famous Luray
Limestone Caver ns. There he saw how, drop by drop,
water loaded with limestone slowly formed the stalactites
and stalagmites over eons of time. These were huge
formations created by deposits of the inorganic minerals
that are ever-present in most drinking water.
Calcium carbonate, or lime, is a very important
ingredient in making cement or concrete. This catalytic
agent is responsible for the hardening of concrete. When
taken into the body chemistr y and subjected to the
process of natural metabolism through the years, this
mineral becomes the principal troublemaker responsible
for what is called “hardening of the arteries.” Doctors
call this degenerative arterial condition “arteriosclerosis,”
and most people believe it to be a natural condition that
comes with the passing of the years. This is “herd
mentality” thinking – or rather, non-thinking! V ery few
people question this age-old superstition. Many people
accept the fallacy that they must face arteriosclerosis

These photomicrographs show (A) a normal artery seen in cross section and
(B) a diseased artery in which the channel is partially occluded by atherosclerosis.
Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease through both direct effects on the
cardiovascular system as well as through reduction of intra-abdominal fat.
Therefore, the goal of exercise and maintaining normal weight should be to
lower the potential for cardiovascular disease and stay healthy and fit. Most doctors assert that there is no known cure when
hardening of the arteries takes place. New techniques
have been developed to implant plastic arteries in place
of the clogged arteries and veins of the heart and neck.
There is expensive heart vascular surger y and other
expensive surgical procedures for cleaning out the
inorganic deposits of the larger arteries (U.S. spends over
$150 billion yearly to tr y to remedy the affects of bad
diet). But when you consider the extent of the entire
pipe system of the human body, cleaning out a small
amount could not accomplish a great deal. Miles of
arteries, veins and capillaries would have to be cleansed
of their inorganic crust to be effective. Read on – the

Bragg Speaks About His Childhood
Paul C. Bragg’ s Early Experiences
With Hard W ater
I was bor n on a farm in V irginia, along the Potomac
River. We got all our drinking water from a well overflowing
with cr ystalline, fresh water. It was ver y hard water because
it contained a great deal of calcium carbonate
and other inorganic minerals from limestone
in suspension or solution.
This hard water made laundering and
cleaning difficult. The soap used for these
purposes simply would not make suds.
Water softeners are good to use for only
doing laundr y, but please never use for
cooking, food preparations, drinking, etc.Limestone
Water When we boiled this water, inorganic
mineral encrustations form ed in large slabs inside the
kettles. In time, it created holes in the bottom s of the
kettles. Kettle after kettle had to be thr own away, with
the same deteriorations happening to each kettle!
But the greatest damage done to humans who drank
this hard, inorganic mineral water was to their entire
cardiovascular systems and their overall health.
My grandfather was a man in his mid-sixties. He was a
big, strong six-footer – about 200pounds of solid muscle. My
grandfather was a loving Christian family man, an expert
horseman and a hard working farmer.
I can remember when he had
his first stroke. There was a large
family of Braggs, and we were
all seated together around the
dinner table. Suddenly, there
was a crash of dishes when my
grandfather slumped over the
Teach me Thy way O Lord; and lead me in a plain path. – Psalms 97:11 37 table. When the countr y doctor arrived, he stated sadly
that grandfather had lost all control of his left side due
to brain damage from the stroke.
From then on, he needed constant attention. W ith a
completely paralyzed left side, he could not walk without
the aid of someone to steady him. He had absolutely no
control of his eliminative system. There was great difficulty
getting food into his body because he had lost the ability
to chew. We could only  feed him ver y soft, mashed foods,
vegetables, potatoes, fruits and soups.
This fine man we knew and loved was,


 body's ability to solve its pr oblem.
    One reason vitamin therapies frequently do not work a s well as they might is that, having been intimidated by AMA propaganda
that has created largely false fears in the public mind about harmful effects of vitamin overdoses, the person may not take e nough
of the right vitamin. The minimum daily requirements of vitamins and minerals as outlined in nutrition texts are only sufficient to
prevent the most obvious forms of deficiency diseases. If a person takes supplements at or near the minimum daily requirement
(the dose recommended by the FDA as being 'generall y recognized as safe') they should not expect to see any therapeutic effect
unless they have scurvy, beri beri, rickets, goiter, or pellagra.
    In these days of vitamin -fortified bread and iodized salt, and even vitamin C fortified soft drinks, you almos t never see the kind
of life -threatening deficiency states people first learned to recognize, such as scurvy. Sailors on long sea voyages used to develop a
debilitating form of vitamin C deficiency that could kill. Scurvy could be quickly cured by as littl e as one lime a day. For this
reason the British Government legislated the carrying of limes on long voyages and today that is why British sailors are stil l called
limeys. A lime has less than 30 milligrams of vitamin C. But to make a cold clear up faster with vitamin C a mere 30 mg does
absolutely nothing! To begin to dent an infection with vitamin C takes 10,000 milligrams a day, and to make a life threatenin g
infection like pneumonia go away faster might require 25,000 to 150,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily, administered
intravenously. In terms of supplying that much C with limes, that's 300 to 750 of them daily –clearly impossible.
    Similarly, pellagra can be cured with a few milligrams of vitamin B 3, but schizophrenia can sometimes be cured with 3, 000
milligrams, roughly a thousand times as much as the MDR.
    There are many many common diseases that the medical profession does not see as being caused by vitamin deficiencies.
Senility and many mental disorders fall in this category. Many old people  live on extremely deficient diets comprised largely of
devitalized starches, sugars, and fats, partly because many do not have good enough teeth to chew vegetables and other high
roughage foods, and they do not have the energy it takes to prepare more nou rishing foods. Virtually all old people have deficiency
diseases. As vital force inevitably declines with age, the quantity and quality of digestive enzymes decreases, then the abil ity to
breakdown and extract soluble nutrients from food is diminished, fre quently leading to serious deficiencies. These deficiencies are
inevitably misdiagnosed as disease and as aging.
    Suppose a body needs 30 milligrams a day of niacin to not develop pellagra, but to be fully healthy, needs 500 milligrams dai ly.
If that bo dy receives 50 milligrams per day from a vitamin pill, to the medical doctor it could not possibly be deficient in this
vitamin. However, over time, the insidious sub -clinical deficiency may degrade some other system and produce a different disease,
such a s colitis. But the medical doctor sees no relationship. Let me give you an actual example. Medical researchers studying
vitamin B 5 or pantothenic acid noticed that it could, in what seemed to be megadoses (compared to the minimum daily
requirement) largel y reverse certain degenerative effects of aging. These researchers were measuring endurance in rats as it
decreased through the aging process. How they made this measurement may appear to some readers to be heartless, but the best
way to gauge the enduranc e of a rat is to toss it into a five gallon bucket of cold water and see how long it swims before it drowns.
Under these conditions, the researcher can be absolutely confident that the rat does its very best to stay alive.
    Young healthy rats can swim f or 45 minutes in 50° Fahrenheit water before drowning. Old rats can only last about 15 minutes.
And old rats swim differently, less efficiently, with their lower bodies more or less vertical, sort of dog paddling. But whe n old rats
were fed pantothenic aci d at a very high dose for a few weeks before the test, they swam 45 minutes too. And swam more
efficiently, like the young rats did. More interestingly, their coats changed color (the gray went away) and improved in text ure;
they began to appear like young  rats. And the rats on megadoses of B 5 lived lot longer –25 to 33 percent longer than rats not on
large doses of B 5. Does that mean "megadoses" of B 5 have an unknown drug -like effect? Or does that mean the real nutritional
requirement for B 5 is a lot hi gher than most people think? I believe the second choice is correct. To give you an idea of how much
B 5 the old rats were given in human terms, the FDA says the minimum daily requirement for B 5 is about 10 milligrams but if
humans took as much B 5 as the  rats, they would take about 750 milligrams per day. Incidentally, I figure I am as worthy as any
lab rat and take over 500 milligrams daily.
    My point is that there is a big difference between preventing a gross vitamin deficiency disease, and using vi tamins to create
optimum functioning. Any sick person or anyone with a health complaint needs to improve their overall functioning in any way
that won't be harmful over the long term. Vitamin therapy can be an amazingly effective adjunct to dietary reform and
detoxification.
    Some of the earlier natural hygienists were opposed to using vitamins. However, these doctors lived in an era when the food
supply was better, when mass human degeneration had not proceeded as far as it has today. From their perspe ctive, it was possible
to obtain all the nutrition one needed from food. In our time this is unlikely unless a person knowingly and intelligently pr oduces
virtually all their own food on a highly fertile soil body whose fertility is maintained and adjusted  with a conscious intent to
maximize the nutritive content of the food. Unfortunately, ignorance of the degraded nature of industrial food seems to exten d to
otherwise admirable natural healing methods such as Macrobiotics and homeopathy because these disc iplines also downplay any
need for food supplementation.

Vitamins For Young Persons And Children
    Young healthy people from weaning through their thirties should also take nutritional supplements even though young people
usually feel so good that they  find it impossible to conceive that anything could harm them or that they ever could become
seriously sick or actually die. I know this is true because I remember my own youth and besides, why else would young people so
glibly ride motorcycles or, after o nly a few months of brainwashing, charge up a hill into the barrel of a machine gun. Or have
unsafe sex in this age of multiple venereal diseases. Until they get a little sense, vitamin supplements help to counteract t heir
inevitable and unpreventable use of recreational foods. Vitamins are the cheapest long life and health insurance plan now
available. Parents are generally very surprised at the thought that even their children need nutritional supplements; very fe w
healthy children receive them. A few are  given extra vitamin C when acutely ill, when they have colds or communicable diseases
such as chicken pox.
    Young people require a low dose supplement compared to those of us middle -aged or older, but it should be a broad formula
with the full range of  vitamins and minerals. Some of the best products I have found over 25 years of research and experimentation
with young people are Douglas Cooper's "Basic Formula" (low dose and excellent for children) and "Super T Formula" (double th e
dose of Basic Formul a, therefore better for adolescents and young adults), also from Douglas Cooper Company; Bronson's
"Vitamin and Mineral Formula for Active Men and Women" and Bronson's "Insurance Formula." "Vitamin 75 Plus;" and
"Formula 2" from Now Natural Foods are also good and less costly.
    Healthy very small children who will swallow pills can take these same products at half the recommended dose. If they won't
swallow pills the pills can be blended into a fruit smoothie or finely crushed and then stirred into appl e sauce. There are also
"Children's Chewable Multi -Vitamins + Iron" (1 -5 years old) from Douglas Cooper that contains no minerals except iron,
Bronson's "Chewable Vitamins" (make sure it is the one for small children, Bronson makes several types of chewabl es) and a
liquid vitamin product from Bronson called Multivitamin Drops for Infants. These will be a little more costly than cutting p ills in
half.
    There is also an extraordinarily high quality multivitamin/mineral formula for children called "Childre n's Formula Life
Extension Mix" from Prolongevity, Ltd. (the Life Extension Foundation), it is in tablet form, and slightly more expensive.
    I hope that my book will be around for several generations. The businesses whose vitamin products I recommend wi ll not likely
exist in twenty years. Even sooner


 connection between happiness and the acquisition of
a particular object or substance, or the experience of a particular activity,
circumstance or relationship, was established early on in our lives. From this
connection we concluded that happiness must be caused by objective
experience, even if we didn’t formulate it to ourself in these terms. This con -
viction would subsequently initiate and justify an endless and ultimately
frustrating search for happiness in objective experience.
     If we look more closely, we discover that the premise of this conclusion
is far from true. T o begin with, we notice that in every instance of happiness,  you are the happiness you seek
the experience of happiness itself is always the same. The experience of hap -
piness when, as a child, we won a competition at school, was exactly the
same as the experience of happiness that we felt as a teenager upon falling in
love, or as a young adult on getting our first job, or indeed at any time
in our life when we felt happiness.
     Happiness does not come in different flavours, although it may seem to
be caused by different circumstances. Happiness itself is always the same ex-
perience, irrespective of its apparent cause. This observation alone should
arouse our suspicion as to the causal connection between objective experience
and happiness.
    Our suspicion is confirmed when we notice that whoever or whatever
may seem to make us happy one day may leave us indifferent the next,
or may even, in time, make us miserable. The discarded toy that only
a few days earlier gave the child such delight is quickly forgotten, or the
intimate relationship that was once a source of such joy is now the cause
of sorrow.
     If happiness were really caused by an object, substance, activity, circum -
stance or relationship, then as long as one of these were present, happiness
would be experienced. Conversely, the same must be true of suffering. If the
same object, situation or person can make us happy one day and miserable
the next, then none of these can itself be a cause of suffering.

If happiness were caused directly by objective experience, then certain ex -
periences would make everybody happy. However, this is not our experience.
If health were a source of happiness and sickness a source of unhappiness,
all healthy people would be happy and all sick people would be unhappy.
If wealth were a source of happiness, all rich people would be happy and the
impoverished would be miserable. This is obviously not the case.
     If one person is a gardener in California and it rains in August, she will
be delighted. If another is a lawn tennis player in Oxford and it rains in
August, he will be miserable. The rain itself is neither pleasant nor unpleas -
ant. It has no inherent power to make us either happy or miserable. It is
our inner disposition that confers on the rain the ability to cause happiness
or suffering.
     Furthermore, the same event can make one person happy and another
person miserable at the same time. In a tennis match between Roger Federer
100our innate happiness
and Rafael Nadal, everyone is watching the same game, but if Federer
wins, half the spectators will be happy and half will be unhappy, and vice
versa.
     If the same event can simultaneously be the cause of happiness in some
people and unhappiness in others, then the joy and suffering experienced
cannot have anything to do with the event itself. It has everything to do with
the attitude we bring to bear on the event, an attitude which does not arise
in response to the current event itself but comes from our own past con -
ditioning. From this we may draw a simple conclusion: nothing objective
has any inherent power to cause either happiness or suffering.

Then why is it that our external circumstances seem to have the capacity to make
us happy or miserable?

The fact that the fulfilment of a desire seems to bring about happiness does
indeed suggest that objects, substances, activities, circumstances and rela -
tionships are its cause. However, the acquisition of any of these does not
cause the happiness that we experience. Rather, it brings to an end the state
of desire, the activity of seeking and resisting, that defines the ego or sep -
arate self.
     In the absence of seeking and resisting, that is, in the absence of any im -
pulse to escape the now, we find ourself at one with our current experience
and aligned with the flow of the universe. We no longer separate ourself from
the totality of experience as an independently existing entity that either likes
its experience and wants to hold on to it or dislikes its experience and wants
to get rid of it. As a result, our true nature of peace and happiness shines.
     The happiness has not been caused by anything outside of ourself. It is
simply the natural condition of our self, which previously was obscured by
the activity of seeking and resisting and is now revealed.
     When my son was six or seven years old, I gave him a pair of goalkeeping
gloves for his birthday. He impatiently tore open the packaging, gazed at the
gloves and exclaimed, ‘Oh, I love getting new things!’
     Without realising it, he had intuited that it was not the gloves themselves
that gave him that moment of joy. It was their newness that had the power
to put an end to the state of expectation – that is, the future – and bring
him directly into the present.
101you are the happiness you seek
     And how do we escape the present and venture into the future? Through
thought. For my son, the gloves temporarily put an end to thought, and in
its absence, the presence of awareness lying just behind thought, and usually
veiled by it, was experienced. That is, it experienced itself.
     Had the gloves themselves been the source of happiness, then whenever he
had the gloves with him, he would have been happy. Suffice it to say that this
was not the case! For a few days the gloves retained their capacity to bring him
into the now, that is, to the experience of happiness, and for as long as this
lasted, he continued to enjoy them. But in time they lost this capacity and, al -
though he continued to use them, they were no longer a source of happiness.
     Most of us will be able to relate to this story. We need only substitute for
the goalkeeping gloves the object, substance, activity, circumstance or rela -
tionship of our choice. Believing that the object itself was the cause of the
happiness we previously experienced, the mind sets out in search of another
such object or experience, thereby perpetuating an endless cycle of seeking
and disappointment, punctuated by fleeting intervals of happiness.
     In this way, apart from relatively brief periods of respite, most people’s
experience is characterised by the state of seeking and resisting. As a result,
their innate peace and happiness remains, for most of the time, an unrealised
potential.

seeking and resistance

But I don’t desire just any old object, circumstance or relationship to put an end
to my dissatisfaction. My desires are very specific. If they weren’t, anything or any -
one would do. Alas, this is not the case!

External circumstances seem to have the power to cause happiness or un -
happiness only to the extent to which they coincide with the conditioned
layer of likes and dislikes lying in the depths of our mind. This layer of in -
dividual preferences lies between the background of awareness and the fore -
ground of objects and people, and constitutes a filter through which our
experience is mediated.
     This intermediary layer of subliminal feelings is triggered by our experi -
ence of the world and, in turn, triggers the activity of seeking and resisting.
If our experience of the world does not activate this layer of likes and dislikes,
102our innate happiness
there is no inclination in us to resist the current experience or to seek a new
experience.
     For instance, if we were neither a gardener in California nor a lawn ten -
nis player in Oxford, we would have no pre-existing attitude towards the
rain and would, therefore, neither seek it when absent nor resist it when
present. If we did not have a preference for Federer or Nadal, the outcome
of their match would not have the capacity to make us happy or sad. If my
son did not love football, the gloves would have had no power to elicit
happiness.
     In the absence of preferences and the activity of seeking and resisting they
generate, we are one with our current experience and, as a result, our innate
happiness is felt.
     Around about the same age my son received the gloves, I took him to his
first football match. Just before the game began, I asked him which side he
wanted to win. He looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if it were a
foolish question, and replied, ‘Whoever scores the most goals’.
     It was one of those disarmingly simple and uncannily wise comments
that children of a certain age sometimes make. Such comments are informed
by an innocent and luminous intelligence which has not yet been moulded
by rational thought.
     In relation to the football match, my son’s mind had not been con -
ditioned with preferences, and therefore he did not bring the past to bear
on his current experience. There was no resistance in him to the current situ -
ation because he did not have a preconceived idea in his mind as


 for a Triturator and Hydraulic Press.
The principle of the centrifugal type of juicer extractor involves a
fast rotating plate with a sharp grating surface at the bottom of the
basket in the machine. As the rotation is extremely fast, the pulp which
is grated on the bottom plate is flung by centrifugal force against the
sides of the perforated basket and the juice from the pulp is thus
separated and collected through a spout.
Of course, it is understandable that it is physically and
mechanically impossible to extract all of the juice by centrifugal action,
but the juice so obtained is generally good and should not be kept
long before drinking it.
Notwithstanding the disadvantages of such methods of extraction,
there is still much benefit derived from drinking such juices. The
inherent natural water in juices is after all, organic water and as such
it has great value. Such vitamins and mineral elements as are collected
in such juice are very beneficial.
When we speak of water, the first thought is quite naturally of
that which comes from the faucet or from the spring, or even rain
water. Few people stop to wonder if, or even to realize that, there is
vital organic as well as inorganic water. Nature has furnished
15 vegetation as the laboratory in which to convert the inorganic water
of rain and stream into life-containing atoms of vital organic water.
Not only is the water from the faucet inorganic, it is also, because of
the atoms that compose it are mineral elements, entirely devoid of
the life principle. Nearly all cities contaminate the water supply with
inorganic chlorine and other chemicals, making it truly unfit for human
or animal consumption. The water in the rivers and streams and from
the spring is also inorganic as is rain water.
The only source from which vital organic water is derived is
vegetation — our vegetables and fruits and particularly the juices
made from them. Such juices, however, must be raw to retain their
vital organic quality and must not be cooked, processed, canned, or
pasteurized.
When juices have been cooked, processed, canned, or pasteurized
all of the enzymes are destroyed and the atoms are then converted
into inorganic or dead atoms; this applies to the H20 (water) as well
as to the mineral and chemical atoms composing such juice.
To convert vegetables into liquid or semiliquid mush without
eliminating the cellulose is also of little value from the point of view
of juices. Drinking juices not only enables the body to assimilate all
of the vital elements in a swift and timely manner, but it does so
without burdening the digestive organs with the work entailed by the
presence of the pulp-cellulose.
Drinking juices which are properly made will enable the body to
assimilate them within ten to fifteen minutes. Whereas, the presence
of pulp in the so-called liquid, or liquefied, vegetables, or juices still
containing the pulp, will require hours to digest.
Furthermore, to drink juices from which the pulp has not been
extracted taxes the digestive organs more than eating and properly
masticating the raw vegetables and fruits themselves, as proper
insalivation and thorough mastication is essential to the complete
digestion of vegetables when the cellulose fiber is present. This is not
usually done if the fibers still remain a part of the mush or liquefied
vegetables; whereas, the juices from which the fiber has been removed
furnish, without interference, every particle of the nourishment
contained in the vegetable for immediate and quick assimilation by
the body.
Vegetable juices will contain all of the vital elements, that is to
say, all of the vitamins and vital organic minerals and salts contained
in the vegetable, if the juices are properly made by means of a thorough
16 trituration or grinding, which will rip open the fibers in the vegetable
and reduce the entire vegetable to a pulp so fine that it can be spread
almost like apple butter. By placing this pulp in a filter cloth and
squeezing it in a hydraulic or similar press — which need not be any
larger than can be conveniently handled on a kitchen table —
exercising many tons of pressure, we then get a juice which, in
comparison with that made inefficiently, is as different as cream from
milk.
ALFALFA
ALFALFA is a particularly valuable leguminous herb, not only
rich in the principal mineral and chemical elements in the constitution
of the human body, but it also has many of the trace elements obtained
from deep in the soil where the roots reach down 30 to 100 feet.
Of specific value, I would point out the rich quality, quantity and
proper balance of Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Chlorine,
Sodium, Potassium and Silicon in Alfalfa. These elements are all very
much needed for the proper function of the various organs in the
body.
While Alfalfa is widely used as forage for livestock, it is
nevertheless of immense value, in the form of juice using only the
leaves, when it can be obtained fresh. It is also known as Lucerne
grass, while in England it is known as Purple Medic.
Because Alfalfa adapts itself to widely varying conditions of soil
and climate, even thriving on alkali soil, there is no excuse for not
growing it on one's home grounds, as it is usually difficult to obtain
when living in the city.
When we are unable to obtain fresh Alfalfa, we sprout Alfalfa
seeds and eat the sprouts with our meals. They sprout easily and they
are very beneficial.
ALFALFA JUICE
Vegetation miraculously transforms and vitalizes inanimate
substances into living cells and tissues.
Cattle eat vegetation, raw, for nourishment. They take into their
system one living organism and convert it into a still more complex
live organism.
Vegetation, on the other hand, whether vegetable, fruit, plant, or
grass, takes inorganic elements from the air, water, and earth, and
converts them into live organic elements. To be specific, in order for
17 vegetation to flourish, it needs nitrogen and carbon from the air;
minerals, mineral salts, and more nitrogen from the earth in which it
grows; and of course, oxygen and hydrogen from water.
The most vital and potent factors in this process of conversion
are the enzymes and the life-giving influence of the rays of the sun
which generate the chlorophyll.
The chlorophyll molecule is made up of a web of carbon, hydrogen,
nitrogen, and oxygen atoms around one single atom of magnesium. It
is interesting to compare this design with that of the hemoglobin of
our red blood corpuscles, which has a similar web of elements girdling
an atom of iron instead of the atom of magnesium.
We find in this analogy one of the secrets of the value of
chlorophyll to the human system. Strict vegetarians — whose diet
excludes grains and starches but includes an abundance of fresh
juices with a good proportion of the green juices are healthier,
live longer, and are freer from degenerative ailments than those
who eat mostly cooked foods and little or no raw vegetables and
juices. It would seem that we have here fairly conclusive evidence
as to which diet regimen is the correct or natural one for healthy
human beings.
One of the richest chlorophyll foods we have is alfalfa. It is a
food that builds up both animals and humans, all things considered,
into a healthy, vital, and vigorous old age, and builds up a resistance
to infection that is almost phenomenal.
The juice of fresh alfalfa is too strong and potent to be taken by
itself. It is best taken with carrot juice, in which combination the
individual benefits of each juice are intensified. It has been found
very helpful in most troubles with the arteries and disfunctions
connected with the heart.
It is generally conceded by those who have studied the effects of
gas in the intestines that in a surprisingly large number of patients
suffering from heart trouble, this condition is caused not by any organic
disfunction of the heart. Rather it is caused from excessive gas in the
colon which press the walls of the colon against organs connected
with the heart. A few colonic irrigations or enemas as a rule have
frequently relieved this condition.The heart trouble disappeared until
the next accumulation of gas gave warning that the colon, not the
heart, needed a thorough reconditioning.
Besides benefit to blood and heart conditions, chlorophyll is most
useful in the relief of respiratory troubles and discomforts, particularly
is in the sinuses and in the lungs. Mucus is the underlying cause of
sinus infection and pains, as it is of bronchial and asthmatic conditions,
including hay fever.
Strict vegetarians who eschew cow's milk, flour, grain, and
concentrated sugar products, are not afflicted with these troubles,
particularly if they were brought up from childhood to shun and avoid
these foods. This is not by any manner or means fanatical. It is just
plain common sense and perfectly natural, and proved beyond question
or doubt from experience.
Those who have adopted such a vegetarian program later in life
have been able to help overcome these conditions without the use of
surgery or drugs.
After all, sinus infection is the work of our defensive friends, the
germs, trying to
