 there already exists too muchdamage to vital organs the person will die. If there remains sufficient organfunction to support life, enough vital force to power those functions, and a will tolive, the body may heal itself if helped by the correct therapeutic approach. Butthe therapy does not do the healing; the body does that by itself—if it can. Thisreality is also true of allopathic medicine. I believe fasting is the therapy that almost invariably gives a critically ill person
their very best chance of recovery. If a patient dies while fasting they almostcertainly would have died anyway, and if death comes while fasting, it will bemore comfortable, with less pain, and with more mental clarity. Critically ill people may have, among other things, any of the following
diagnoses: advanced cancer, advanced aids, heart failure, very high bloodpressure, kidney failure, advanced liver disease, advanced emphysema,
Food In The Order Of Digestive Difficulty
Individual digestive weaknesses and allergies are not taken into
account in this list:
Hard To Digest: Meat, fish, chicken, eggs (if cooked), all legumes
including soy products, peanuts and peanut butter, beans, split peas, lentils,chick peas, dairy products such as cheese, milk, butter milk, nuts and seedsand their butters. Intermediate: all grains--quinoa, amaranth, millet, spelt, rye, wheat,
oats, barley. Fairly Easy:  Brussels sprouts, green beans, green peas, broccoli,
cauliflower, raw cultured milk products, asparagus, cabbage, sproutsespecially bean sprouts, kale, other leafy greens. Very Easy:  fruits, vegetable juices, fruit juices, broth (clear). No Effort:  herb tea, water. pneumonia or other catastrophic infections, especially those that seem
unresponsive to antibiotics, strokes, emboli, sclerotic vessels as found inarteriosclerosis, severe nerve degeneration interfering with nerve transmission tovital organs. Treating the critically ill does not have to be an all or nothing, ideological
choice between holistic medicine and AMA style medicine. It is important for thecritically ill and their families to know that if they use standard medical treatmentsuch as drugs or surgery, these measures can and should be combined withnatural healing methods. It is always desirable to quit all addicting substances,start a whole foods diet, (as light as possible), and add meganutrition(supplements) to the medical doctor’s treatments. Few medical doctors are soarrogantly partisan as to assert that natural measures will do any harm as long asthe MD is still allowed to prescribe as they please. Holistic support will not only lessen the side effects of the medical treatments
but will speed up healing and often reduce the required dose of prescribed drugs.I have had several clients with cancer who chose to have surgery, radiation andchemotherapy, but stayed on a raw food diet and took high doses of supplementsthroughout the treatment. These people amazed the attending physician by feelinggood with little if any fatigue, no hair loss, or flu symptoms. The same can be trueof other conditions. Ethyl always comes to my mind when I think of how much healing power can
still be left in a dying body. She (accompanied by her husband for support) cameto Great Oaks School with terminal cancer, heart failure, advanced diabetes,extreme weakness, and complete inability to digest. Any food ingested just cameback up immediately. Ethyl had large tumors taking over the breast, sticking outfrom her skull, and protruding from her body in general. The largest was the onein the left breast which was the size of a big man’s fist. She did have one crucial thing going for her, Ethyl was a feisty Irish red head
who still had a will to live, and a reason to do so. She and her husband, who had
just retired, had dreamed their whole life of touring the US and Canada in their
own RV the minute he retired. The time had finally arrived but Ethyl was too ill tosupport her own weight (only 90 pounds) and to top it off was blind from diabeticretinopathy. The doctors had done everything they could to her, and now judgedher too weak to withstand any more surgery (she had already had her right breastremoved). Radiation or chemotherapy were also considered impossible due toheart failure. They sent Ethyl home to die, giving her a few days to a month atmost. Any sensible hygienist trying to stay out of jail would have refused to take on
this type of case because it was a cancer case where death was likely. Treatmentof this highly lucrative disease is considered the AMA’s exclusive franchise, evenwhen the medical doctors have given up after having done everything to a bodythe family can pay for or owe for. Whenever a person dies under the care of anyperson who is not a licensed M.D. there must be an autopsy and a criminalinvestigation in search of negligence. If the person dies under the care of an M.D.the sheriff’s assumption is that the doctor most assuredly did everything he couldand should have done and death was inevitable. By accepting Ethyl I had areasonable likelihood of ending up in trouble; but being foolish, brave and(stupidly) feeling relatively immune to such consequences (I was under 40 at thetime), it seemed important to try to help her. So, undaunted by the task,regardless of the outcome, I proceeded logically, one step at a time. Today, withmore experience and a modest net worth I wouldn’t want to have to defend in alawsuit, and at age 55. possessing no spare five to ten years to give to the State to“pay” for my bravery, I would probably refuse such a case. Fortunately I have notbeen confronted with this problem lately. Since Ethyl was unable to digest anything given by mouth, she was fed rectally
with wheat grass juice implants three times a day. She was carried to the colonictable for a daily colonic. Wheat grass and clay poultices were applied to hertumors three times a day. She received an acupressure massage and reflexology
treatments during the day, plus a lot of tender loving care. This program continued
for a month during which the tumors were being reabsorbed by the body,including the large, extremely hard tumor sticking out the flesh of the right breast. Ethyl complained of severe pain as the large tumor in her breast shrank. While
it had been getting larger and pressing ever harder on all the nerves, she had littleor no sensation, but as it shrank, the nerves were reactivated. Most people thinkthat a growing tumor would cause more pain than a shrinking one. Often theopposite is true. Pain can be a good sign that the body is winning, an indicator toproceed. By the second month, Ethyl, gradually gaining strength, was able to take wheat
grass and carrot juice orally, and gradually eased into raw foods, mostly sproutsand leafy greens such as sunflower and buckwheat greens grown in trays. Shestarted to walk with assistance up and down the halls, no longer experiencing theintense pain formerly caused by a failing heart, and most surprising of all, hereyesight returned, at first seeing only outlines, and then details. The third month Ethyl enlarged her food intake to include raw foods as well as
the carrot and wheat grass juice and sprouts, plus vitamin and mineralsupplements to help support her immune system and the healing process. All thetumors had been reabsorbed by her body and were no longer visible, her heartwas able to support normal activity such as walking, and nonstrenuous householdchores, and her diabetes had corrected itself to the point that she no longerrequired insulin and was able to control her blood sugar with diet. Her husband was then instructed in her maintenance and they went home to
continue the program. The last I heard from them they had made two lengthy tripsaround the US in their RV and were enjoying their retirement together after all. My treatment worked because the most important factor in the healing of the
critically ill person is not give them more nourishment than their body is able toprocess. The moment the digestive capacity of the sick person is exceeded, thecondition will be exacerbated and in a critically illness, the person is likely to die. If the body still has sufficient organ integrity and vital force to heal itself, it will do
so only if given the least possible nourishment that will support life–provided noessential organs are hopelessly damaged. If the liver and kidneys are functional,and the person has done some previous dietary improvement and/or cleansing,success is likely, especially if the person wants to live. A person in critical condition does not have time to ease into fasting by first
spending a month or two on a raw foods diet.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

 spiritual
intention, you connect to that power. Divorced, your self-importance, your
ego, takes over. Here’s the final obstacle to making your connection to intention. Your Self-Importance
In The Fire from Within, Carlos Castaneda hears these words from his
sorcerer teacher: “Self-importance is man’s greatest enemy. What weakens
him is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow man. Self-
importance requires that one spend most of one’s life offended by
something or someone.” This is a major impediment to connecting to
intention; you can all too easily create a no match here. Basically, your feelings of self-importance are what make you feel
special, so let’s deal with this concept of being special. It’s essential that
you have a strong self-concept and that you feel unique. The problem is
when you misidentify who you truly are by identifying yourself as your
body, your achievements, and your possessions. Then you identify people
who have accomplished less as inferior, and your self-important superiority
causes you to be constantly offended in one way or another. This
misidentification is the source of most of your problems, as well as most of
the problems of humankind. Feeling special leads us to our self-importance. Castaneda writes later in his life, many years after his initial emergence into
the world of sorcery, about the futility of self-importance. “The more I
thought about it, and the more I talked to and observed myself and my
fellow men, the more intense the conviction that something was rendering
us incapable of any activity or any interaction or any thought that didn’t
have the self as its focal point.”With the self as a focal point, you sustain the illusion that you are your
body, which is a completely separate entity from all others. This sense of
separateness leads you to compete rather than cooperate with everyone else. Ultimately, it’s a no match with Spirit, and becomes a huge obstacle to your
connection to the power of intention. In order to relinquish your self-
importance, you’ll have to become aware of how entrenched it is in your
life. Ego is simply an idea of who you are that you carry around with you. As such, it can’t be surgically removed by having an egoectomy! This idea
of who you think you are will persistently erode any possibility you have of
connecting to intention. Seven Steps for Overcoming Ego’s Hold on You
Here are seven suggestions to help you transcend ingrained ideas of self-
importance. All of these are designed to help prevent you from falsely
identifying with the self-important ego. 1. Stop being offended. The behavior of others isn’t a reason to be
immobilized. That which offends you only weakens you. If you’re looking
for occasions to be offended, you’ll find them at every turn. This is your
ego at work convincing you that the world shouldn’t be the way it is. But
you can become an appreciator of life and match up with the universal
Spirit of Creation. You can’t reach the power of intention by being
offended. By all means, act to eradicate the horrors of the world, which
emanate from massive ego identification, but stay in peace. As A Course in
Miracles reminds us: Peace is of God, you who are part of God are not at
home except in his peace. Being offended creates the same destructive
energy that offended you in the first place and leads to attack, counterattack,
and war. 2. Let go of your need to win. Ego loves to divide us up into winners
and losers. The pursuit of winning is a surefire means to avoid conscious
contact with intention. Why? Because ultimately, winning is impossible allof the time. Someone out there will be faster, luckier, younger, stronger, and
smarter—and back you’ll go to feeling worthless and insignificant. You’re not your winnings or your victories. You may enjoy competing,
and have fun in a world where winning is everything, but you don’t have to
be there in your thoughts. There are no losers in a world where we all share
the same energy source. All you can say on a given day is that you
performed at a certain level in comparison to the levels of others on that
day. But today is another day, with other competitors and new
circumstances to consider. You’re still the infinite presence in a body that’s
another day (or decade) older. Let go of needing to win by not agreeing that
the opposite of winning is losing. That’s ego’s fear. If your body isn’t
performing in a winning fashion on this day, it simply doesn’t matter when
you aren’t identifying exclusively with your ego. Be the observer, noticing
and enjoying it all without needing to win a trophy. Be at peace, and match
up with the energy of intention. And ironically, although you’ll hardly
notice it, more of those victories will show up in your life as you pursue
them less. 3. Let go of your need to be right. Ego is the source of a lot of conflict
and dissension because it pushes you in the direction of making other
people wrong. When you’re hostile, you’ve disconnected from the power of
intention. The creative Spirit is kind, loving, and receptive; and free of
anger, resentment, or bitterness. Letting go of your need to be right in your
discussions and relationships is like saying to ego, I’m not a slave to you. I
want to embrace kindness, and I reject your need to be right. In fact, I’m
going to offer this person a chance to feel better by saying that she’s right,
and thank her for pointing me in the direction of truth. When you let go of the need to be right, you’re able to strengthen your
connection to the power of intention. But keep in mind that ego is a
determined combatant. I’ve seen people willing to die rather than let go of
being right. I’ve seen people end otherwise beautiful relationships by
sticking to their need to be right. I urge you to let go of this ego-driven need
to be right by stopping yourself in the middle of an argument and askingyourself, Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the happy,
loving, spiritual mode, your connection to intention is strengthened. These
moments ultimately expand your new connection to the power of intention. The universal Source will begin to collaborate with you in creating the life
you were intended to live. 4. Let go of your need to be superior. True nobility isn’t about being
better than someone else. It’s about being better than you used to be. Stay
focused on your growth, with a constant awareness that no one on this
planet is any better than anyone else. We all emanate from the same creative
life force. We all have a mission to realize our intended essence; all that we
need to fulfill our destiny is available to us. None of this is possible when
you see yourself as superior to others. It’s an old saw, but nonetheless true:
We are all equal in the eyes of God. Let go of your need to feel superior by
seeing the unfolding of God in everyone. Don’t assess others on the basis of
their appearance, achievements, possessions, and other indices of ego. When you project feelings of superiority, that’s what you get back, leading
to resentments and ultimately hostile feelings. These feelings become the
vehicle that takes you farther away from intention. A Course in Miracles
addresses this need to be special and superior: Specialness always makes
comparisons. It is established by a lack seen in another, and maintained by
searching for, and keeping clear in sight, all lacks it can perceive. 5. Let go of your need to have more. The mantra of the ego is more. It’s
never satisfied. No matter how much you achieve or acquire, your ego will
insist that it isn’t enough. You’ll find yourself in a perpetual state of
striving, and eliminate the possibility of ever arriving. Yet in reality, you’ve
already arrived, and how you choose to use this present moment of your life
is your choice. Ironically, when you stop needing more, more of what you
desire seems to arrive in your life. Since you’re detached from the need for
it, you find it easier to pass it along to others, because you realize how little
you need in order to be satisfied and at peace.The universal Source is content with itself, constantly expanding and
creating new life, never trying to hold on to its creations for its own selfish
means. It creates and lets go. As you let go of ego’s need to have more, you
unify with that Source. You create, attract to yourself, and let it go, never
demanding that more come your way. As an appreciator of all that shows
up, you learn the powerful lesson St. Francis of Assisi taught: “... it is in
giving that we receive.” By allowing abundance to flow to and through you,
you match up with your Source and guarantee that this energy will continue
to flow. 6. Let go of identifying yourself on the basis of your achievements. This may be a difficult concept if you think you are your achievements. God writes all the music, God sings all the songs, God builds all the
buildings, God is the source of all your achievements. I can hear your ego
loudly protesting. Nevertheless, stay tuned to this

has lost its beneficial enzymes and much,
if not all of, it’s healing power. Indefinite
But What If I Mess Up? Y ou will, at some point, and you will continue to do so. Like any endeavor, you just have to put in the time and
patience to natural living and you will quickly learn what works for you, what doesn’t, and even add your own
personal touches to recipes. The beauty of all of this is that it is not an exact science. As long as it is within
the realms of being safe, you can tweak and adjust and play around with most of these recipes all you want. If you find the smell of something too strong, add less essential oils. If a balm is too solid or too soft for you,
tweak the amount of beeswax or solid oil/butter in it. A lot of the recipes will list amounts over a range, such
as 1-2 tablespoons, or 10-15 drops, so that you have some wiggle room to match it to your preference but still
be successful. If something you makes turns out too oily, for example, don’t have a total break down about it. Simply add a little less oil less time. Y es, these recipes do work for me, but it is inevitable that some people,
even simply because of their environment, will get a different result. I want you to have tools to be able to
work with. Clean Up
Solid ingredients like beeswax and coconut oil can pose a problem when it comes to cleaning up. Because
they will become solid as they cool, they can potentially clog your drains if poured down them. For best results,
keep the excess oil or wax warm and wipe out thoroughly with a paper towel. Then rinse with HOT water and
lots of soap. If I have been using a double boiler, I will often times pour that water into the waxy or oily bowl as
well. If you plan on using beeswax a lot, I suggest getting a separate set of bowls specifically for that use. When it comes to pouring things into their containers, like balms and salves, place the containers on a cooking
sheet covered in parchment paper or aluminum foil. That way you can easily clean up the inevitable little drips
and spills that will happen!22Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comWhere Do I Get All of This? I know a lot of this sounds exotic, but the beauty of the internet is that you can get just about anything now. Making your own cleaning products, DIY stuff, or home remedies, really isn’t hard. It’s actually no different

before purchasing. Since many of our precious ingredients come from developing countries, it is  up to us to
make sure they are coming from fair conditions for those who grow and farm them, and make sure the planet
is being respected in the process. It is also good to keep in mind that our beautiful herbs and flowers aren’t
unlimited-look into sources that mention sustainable growth and collection or, better yet, grow your own! Health

Our bodies put up with all kinds of strange things us humans love to
do, and somehow manage to avoid falling apart (right now I am thinking
specifically of people skiing moguls, and my mother ranting on about
how their knees are going deteriorate at any second.) Our joints in
particular take an incredible amount of repetitive strain on a day-to-day
basis, no extreme sports required, so it’s no wonder that as we age our
joints begin to wear. The result of this wear and tear is known generally
as arthritis. There are actually two types of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis
and osteoarthritis, the latter of which is more common, and the former
which is far more mysterious. Osteoarthritis takes place as the cartilage cushioning our joints
wears down over time, until bone grates painfully against bone. It is
usually simply the result of aging, but can also be caused by repeated
excessive strain, or after an injury to the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is
a little less straightforward. It is the product of a chronic autoimmune
disorder in which the immune system-whose job is to attack foreign
cells such as a virus or bacteria-attacks the body’s own tissues. Specifically it targets the synovial membrane, a soft tissue that protects
joints in the body. As a result, sufferers experience many painful
symptoms, including inflammation, fluid build-up, and sometimes
eventual bone loss. While arthritis of either type can be an unavoidable
reality in our lives, treating the symptoms at home can be quite easy,
and people generally experience a high degree of success. Arthritis
-Maintain your ideal weight. Being
over-weight puts more strain
on your joints than necessary,
possibly leading to osteoarthritis. -Exercise to maintain strength
in all parts of your body, reduce
stiffness, and increase flexibility. Not moving around because your
joints ache is the very last thing
you should do. Just be sure to
balance it so it is not so strenuous
as to do more harm than good. Ginger Root Salve
-Ginger root infused oil can be a
bugger to make because of the
fresh root’s high moisture content,
so be sure to leave the lid halfway
ajar to allow it to evaporate. -Whenever you add water content
to something, you decrease shelf
life greatly. To be on the safe
side, make a small batch of this
and keep it in a mason jar, boiled
previously to eradicate any germs,
in a cool dark place. Use within
1 ½ weeks, or up to 2 ½ weeks if
refrigerated. -Y ou can leave the oil as it is
without making it into a salve if
you want to keep it simple. Usage
is the same. White Willow Tea
-Chipped bark is more desirable
than powdered, which can leave
behind a gritty, sandy texture in
your tea. 24Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingA process called prostaglandin synthesis goes on in many animals, including humans, and can play large role
in the treatment of arthritis. This process, or synthesis, makes lipid (fat) compounds called prostaglandins within
our cells that act like little messengers. They run a wide variety biological processes, including inflammation,
and transmitting pain signals to neurons. Virtually all common OTC painkillers work by inhibiting this process,
therefore preventing or lessening pain and inflammation. Wonderful ginger root is a natural alternative that has
been shown many times to work the same way, sans the side effects of regular medication. By massaging this
warming salve gently into aching joints, you can help quickly relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness. Ginger Root Salve
For the oil:
-2 cups of ginger root, cut into
medium to large chunks
-3 ½ cups of olive or jojoba
oil
-A crock pot
For the salve:
-10-12 parts infused oil
-1-2 parts grated beeswax or
beeswax pastilles
-A double boiler1. Set your crock pot to the lowest setting. Add your chopped ginger and then
cover with oil, leaving the lid halfway ajar to allow the moisture to evaporate-I
cannot stress how important this part is! 2. Allow the oil to infuse for 2 full days, checking every now and then to make
sure it is not boiling or burning. 3. Decant your oil and strain it. Place in a clear mason jar for 24 hours to allow
any extra water that remains to separate from the oil. If you do get water, simply
use a clean turkey baster to suck it up, or carefully pour the oil from the water. It
is vital to get as much out as possible to extend shelf life. For the salve:
1. Pour 10-12 parts of the now infused oil back into a double boiler and add 1
part grated beeswax, heating until the wax is completely melted, and giving it a
quick stir at the end to make sure everything is blended together. 2. Remove the mixture from the heat and transfer to a small airtight jar. Massage gently into sore, aching, joints as needed. 25Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com ArthritisY ou will need… DirectionsThis balm is a potent blend of two powerful essential oils, wintergreen, and birch. There are some people who
advise against the use of these essential oils at all, and some who consider them a staple. The reason they
are so powerful is because they contain a high percentage (85-95%) of methyl salicylate, which is similar to
acetylsalicylic acid found in aspirin. Before we had these painkillers, birch and wintergreen were nature’s form
of aspirin. These oils are very strong, but almost unmatched when it comes to joint pain, especially rheumatic,

 also known that exer
gonic reactions (with a negative standard-free-energy )
may change, e.g., the oxidation of glucose to water and
carbon dioxide {ll.G0' = -686 kcal mol-1) into an en
dergonic esterification of glucose and phosphate to
glucose G-phosphate and water, which presents a posi
tive standard-free-energy change (6.G0'=3.3 kcal
mol-1). Such reactions may be generally expressed as:
Exergonic A+B-+ C+ D+energy (Jl.G•negative)
Endergonic energy (Jl.G•positive )+E+ F-+ G+H. How sequences of oxidizing and reducing reactions
may change the direction of electron flow, or to which
individual step or steps of a sequence should be attrib
uted such functions in necrotizing tissue, e.g., bone, is
presently not predictable. These mechanisms appear
also to depend to a large extent on the function of
adjacent normal tissue. Polarization products will also form at the cathodic
metal surface during the calciolytic phase. This devel
opment should impair the diffusion of oxygen toward
the cathode. It should also facilitate a reversal of the
direction of electron flow. The proposal of fluctuating and attenuating driving
forces between Tissues I and II is based partly on the
studies on injury potentials in tumours and spontane
ously degrading sterile blood (Chapter VII), and partly
on the physical fact that aU known spontaneous reac
tions proceed in a fluctuating, attenuating fashion to
ward equilibrium. It is inconceivable, moreover, to
assume that the induction of a degrading process in
vivo should proceed under the influence of a unidirec
tional gradient of potential between the injured and
surrounding normal tissue, simply because new distor
tions of the ionic compositions at the reaction sites
would then be created. Acceptance of a fluctuating
injury potential between Tissues I and II also makes it
possible to understand many biologic transformations
which otherwise are difficult to explain. The early acidic phase of Tissue I is proposed to
dissolve calcium in the bone matrix, hence this is here
called the "calciolytic phase". Local decalcifications in
bone are commonly seen radiographicaUy after bone
injury, e.g., trauma. Direct evidence of a change of Tissue I from an
acidic, "calciolytic phase" into an alkaline "mineral
ization phase" is encountered in the development of
radiographically evident, irregular zones of calcifica
tion, appearing in previously decalcified bon<. This
mineralization may now be explained as a result of
inflow of calcium and magnesium ions as a selective
transport over the closed electric circuit under the
influence of the now cathodic reaction of the tissue. Local phosphate ions, in the meantime, are lagging in
the process of diffusion in the degrading tissue and are
therefore available for recombination with calcium and
magnesium ions into complex calcium-magnesium
phosphate salts as apatite. The development of decalci
fied and calcified regions, which are radiographically
common in aseptic necrosis or other kinds of bone
injury, now in principle can be explained. As will also
be shown later (Chapter XVI), the same principle can
be applied experimeotaUy to produce rnicrocalcifica
tions in breast fat tissue. How does iron now appear as a precipitation line in
the normal Tissue II? First, we may anticipate that
hydroxyl ions remain in Tissue II from the phase when
this tissue was an electron acceptor. When the polarity
changes so that Tissue I consumes electrons, Tissue II
accumulates dissolving iron ions from the adjacent
metal, which delivers electrons:
Fe_. Fe2+ +2e-. Fe2+ ions then diffuse and migrate away from the
metal surface to a region in Tissue II where the pH is
favourable for the combination of Fe2+ with remain
ing hydroxyl ions, to form insoluble Fe(OHh (and
later, Fe203 • nHzO). Local sites with increased x-ray attenuation in Tis
sue I are generally regarded as caused by deposition of
calcium. It should not be surprising, however, if fu
ture analyses will show that these sites also include
precipitated iron, dissolved during the acidic phase of
Tissue I. This preliminary description of "complicated corro
sion" is simplified and incomplete in many respects. It
probably represents only one of several possible expla
nations. MetaJ implants consist of different combi na~
lions of metals, two of which are presented in Table
XII: I. Dissolving of iron in stainless steels in active
states is accompanied by similar reactions of chromi
um, nickel, molybdenum and manganese. Further
more, one may expect that in the tissue fluid various
compounds, not considered here, must also induce
reactions with the implant. BiologicaUy closed electric circuits 119 a

Dissolved metal has been chemically identified adja
cent to metal in bony tissue by Ferguson, Laing and
Hodge (16). Its constituent chemicals are most likely
Fe(0H)2 and Fe20l · nH20. During the mineralization phase of anoxic necrosis,
the necrotic Tissue I consumes electrons from the
metal (Fig. XII: 7 a). The dissolving metal adjacent to
Tissue II donates electrons to the implant (Fig. XII: 7 b). A cross section of the implant (Fig. XII: 7 c)
shows the precipitation of Fe(OH)2 as a ring. Its
development can most easily be explained like that of
the "A" and "B, zones of semolina grains around a
charged body (Fig. X: I a, 7 b). Closed circuit electric
field forces compete with the radial, circular and longi
tudinal vectors of concentration forces (Fig. X: 3). The
precipitate appears in cross section as a "B" zone
separated by an "A" zone from the metal. These zones also represem two different phases in
which preferential adsorption and local concentration
take place at their interface (the small arches and
arcades previously described berween the "A" and
"B" zones around a lung tumour are also sometimes
seen radiographically as a thin adsorption line of high
er attenuation of x-rays than the surroundings ). The
120 Biologica lly closed electric circuits line of Fe(OH)2 or Fe201 · nH20 in bone adjacent to
a metal does, of course, not appear as arches but rather
as one complete arcade, which is a circular ring (pro
vided the metallic surface is circular and smooth). Only when small edges protrude from the metal can
th.e precipitation line of the iron compounds be pre
dicted to appear in the cross section as a line of small
arehes corresponding to the edges. Alternative explanation s also must be considered in
th.e development of a precipitation line. Thus, metal in
a passive state (e.g., stainless steel) is known to dis
solve slowly in any oxygenized environment, leading
to secondary diffusion and precipitation of metal hy
droxide of low solubility. Such a mechanism is very
likely to be involved in the events described, but only
as a partially contributing mechanism. Other modifi
cations of bone structures adjacent to the implant can
also become induced as a result of toxic effects on cells
by dissolved metals. Such injuries enhance conductiv
ity of BCEC systems, leading to a gradual increase in
in·tensity of all associated closed circuit reactions. 4. Dynamic factors in in vivo corrosion
The uncompUcated and complicated types of in vivo
corrosion have thus far for didactic purposes been
described as instantaneous stationary situations. Bio
logically, the actual condition must be different. It is
even unrealisti c to assume that uncomplicated or com
plicated corrosions exist as isolated phenomena. One Relative electron-equivalent charge transport

 several times to prepare the
information of this book as a series of separate articles. Tbese attempts bave, to a large extent, been discourag
ing. One reason is that working nowadays across estab
lished specialities is extremely difficult, not to say
dangerous. Each section is in itself probably of limited
interest. Only when the different pieces of information
are put together do the contours of an important bio
logic mechanism become evident. Thus, the main pur
pose of this book is to introduce the concept of biologi
cally closed electric circuits (BCEC) and some exam
ples of their functional and morphogenetic role in
normal and pathological conditions. BCEC systems
should be regarded as an additional circulatory syst~m
for selective transports and modulation of biochemical
reactions within the circuits. Of necessity, this book is
presented as a survey of the seemingly simple principle
of BCEC systems. The principle, nevertheless, is capa
ble of offering new possibilities toward explaining bio
logic problems. Even some conditions which from a
traditional medical standpoint have been regarded as
more or less obscure may be explained. The existence
of preferential pathways for closed circuit transports in
tissue leads to further logical conseque nces which have
been only slightly suggested in this book. It is the hope of the author that the material present
ed will encourage scientis~s of different specialities to
continue this work. The various aspects of BCEC
systems will require interdisciplinary cooperation if
improved and truly deep understanding of its manifold
possibilities is to be attained. References

  it to you! Your  Life  follows  your  atten-
tion,  and  flows  to the objective,  upon  which  your  attention
is fixed  and  you  cannot  prevent  it! Therefore,  if your  at-
tention  has  been  fixed  upon  human  creations  and  limita-
tions,  you  have  to experience  human  limitations  and  cre-
ations  in your  world. When  you  turn  it to the Presence  and
hold  it there,  keeping  your  feeling  harmonious,  you  will
quickly  begin  to release  a Greater  Intensification  of the
Light  and  Energy  from  your  Presence;  which  will  flow  in,
harmonize  and  produce  Instantaneous  Results  at your  Call. It requires  momentum! It requires  continued  activity! When  we say—turn  to your  Presence,  we do not mean  all
day long;  but powerfully  and  definitely  several  times  a day. There  are  a few  people  who  can  turn  instantly,  who
have  never  known  of the Presence;  and  feel  It so instantly
in their  feeling  and  intellect,  that  they  can upon  the issuing
of a Decree,  have  it fulfilled,  but those  people  are not many. According  to the FEELING  OF  INTENSITY,  can  they 204 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
have  Those  Results;  but  if your  nature  is such  you  need
to make  definite  application,  then  do not hesitate  to con-
tinue,  until  the Results  are there. Your  Application  to your  Presence  cannot  fail! It is Self-
Luminous,  Intelligent  Substance  which  goes  forth  at your
Call;  there  is nothing  to resist  and  there  is nothing  can  in-
terfere  with  That  Light  which  goes  forth! It will  dissolve
all unlike  Itself  as It goes  forth. It is the Power  of the
Universe! Therefore,  as you understand  It, and  as you make
your  Call  and  realize  why  It is not just  a Principle  of Life,
energy  and  action,  you  will  know  why  That  Light  cannot
be resisted. It is because  the Light  is Self-Conscious  Intelli-
gence—Self-Luminous  Intelligent  Substance. It is why,  Dear  People,  the most  terrific  viciousness  ever
focused  at two  human  beings,  has  been  focused  at these
Messengers,  for no reason  at all; but it does  not touch  them
nor interfere  with  This  Activity. This  is why  We sometimes
take up these  points  with  the Blessed  Students;  because  for
the people  who  try to injure  them,  it is a pitiful  thing. In-
dividuals  who  send  out  destructive  thoughts  and  feeling
will reap  them—every  one! The Messengers  never  wished  harm  to any  human  Be-
ing in their  lives  and  never  shall. They  love  and  bless  every
human  Being—even  those  who  criticize  and  condemn  them
and send  vicious  projections  at them. They  know  the Law
and they  are living  It; but  the unfortunate  human  Beings
who  will  not  believe  that,  will  have  to reap  their  vicious-

day, they  will  understand  how  great  has been  their  mistake. This  is why  We take  these  things  up concerning  your  ac-
tivities  definitely  and  clearly,  so all may  understand,  if they
will. You  are soon  going  to have  to choose  whether  you  will
control  your  feeling  or not. That  is why  I say this,  so pos-
itively. Do not ever  look  around  and  blame  any  one else  for
anything. You  are the only  person  who  is concerned. If a
mistake  seems  to be made,  call  the Presence  into  action  to
correct  it and  take  your  mind  off it. Then  you  will  be Free! IT IS THE  ONLY  WAY! In this  Great  Release  of Light,
Power  and  Energy,  only  when  you  are ascended,  will  you
come  to know  how  great  has been  the Blessing  of this  night
and of this  day. Sometimes,  We long  to release  within  you
the All-seeing-eye  which  makes  no mistakes;  so you  might
see what  is going  on in your  so-called  invisible  world. To
Us there  is no invisible  world  anywhere ? There  is no such
a thing,  and  the so-called  invisible  is only  to the human
octave. Everything  is visible,  when  you  are Free  from  the
limitations  of the  human  octave. Everything  is visible,  I
say to you! Therefore,  do not let the appearance  world  of
the human  octave  longer  limit  you,  distress  you  or hold
your  attention. Just  feel  with  the  Strength,  Power  and
Courage  of your  Presence,  Its Great  Energy  go forth  and
set you  Free. There  is no reason  in the world  why  you  should  continue
longer  in any  limitations;  if you  care  to take  and  apply
These  Laws  and  have  the  Freedom  which  They  bring. There  are  a great  many  people  today,  who  can  quickly 206 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES

. W arm-Up for Physical Exercise
This warm-up exercise is not restricted to walking or jogging. It can be used
for any sport and can be applied during continuous movement. Breath
holding on the exhalation until a moderate air hunger is achieved can be
incorporated into most warm-up routines. Perform five breath holds during
the warm-up, with a minute or two rest in between each. It makes sense to
open the airway s and blood vessels, harness nasal nitric oxide, and increase
oxygen delivery to the cells prior to physical exercise. Directions:
• Move at a moderate pace for 10 to 15 minutes. • Nose breathe only for the duration of the warm-up. • During the warm-up, breathe light, slow, and deep. • Take fuller breaths but fewer of them, with lateral expansion and contraction of the
lower ribs. • Exhale through your nose and pinch your nose with your fingers to hold your breath. • Continue moving during the breath hold. • When the feeling of air hunger is moderate, let go of your nose, and breathe through
it. • Minimize your breathing taking half of a normal breath in and out through your nose
for six breaths. • Resume normal breathing for a minute or two. • Repeat the breath hold five times during your warm-up. OceanofPDF.comSECTION FIVE: STRESS AND RELAX BODY AND MIND
IS BREA THING T O STRESS THE BODY A GOOD IDEA? Some of what you read in this book might seem to contradict information
you may have heard in relation to other popular breathing methods. There is
currently an explosion in breathwork, and several techniques have received
significant coverage. This global “breath revolution” is a positive thing. The
breath is a vital tool for health, performance, and self-mastery. The interest in various kinds of breathwork is also a good thing because
there is a widespread lack of knowledge about the basic principles of
breathing. This is reflected in the fact 60% to 80% of adults have
dysfunctional breathing patterns.9 It is therefore worth looking at the ideas
behind several types of breathin g exercises to understand how they affect
the body and why they may be ideal for some people but not for others. My main purpose in addressing this subject is not to raise arguments
about which breathing method is best. I am interested in discussing the
importance of balance and helping you understand your options. Some
breathing techniques use deliberate hyperventilation, and since the focus of
this book is on reversing the harmful effects of chronic hyperventilation, I
want to offer some explanation as to why these exercises can be helpful. It
is my opinion that when conscious hyperventilation is practiced, it is
important to balance its effect with reduced volume breathing exercises. In
other words, if you up-regulat e the body, it is also necessary to down-
regulate. This produces the best long-term results in terms of breathing
biochemistry and the function of the autonomic nervous system. #22. Prepare for Simulation of Altitude T raining
This exercise is to be performed to a comfortable air hunger only. The objectives are to experience a light to medium hunger  for air
(depending on your BOL T score) and to prepare for stronger breath holds. Directions:• Take a normal breath in and out through your nose. • Pinch your nose to hold your breath, and walk for 10 to 15 paces. • Stop walking and release your nose. Breathe in through your nose and resume
gentle breathing in and out of your nose. • Wait for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat. • And again, take a normal breath in and out through your nose. Pinch your nose with
your fingers and walk 10 to 15 paces while holding your breath. • Stop walking and release your nose. Breathe in through your nose and resume
gentle breathing in and out of your nose. • Wait for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat. • Repeat the exercise five times.#23. Simulation of Altitude T raining
When you hold your breath to create a strong air hunger following a passive
exhalation, several things happen. 1. The breath hold causes a disturbance to the blood’ s acid-base
balance. As the breath is held, the cells continue to extract oxygen from your blood. Meanwhile, excess CO 2 cannot leave the blood through your lungs. Regular
practice of breath holding exposes the body to increased acidosis. This
causes the body to adapt. The result is less acidity of the blood during
intense exercise and a delay in the onset of fatigue. 2. The br eath hold str engthens the br eathing muscles. This combination of high CO2 (hypercapnia) and low blood  oxygen
saturation (hypoxia), along with the sensation of discomfort in the
diaphragm, causes the respiratory center in the brain to send impulses to the
breathing muscl es to resume breathing to restore blood gases to normal. As
the breath hold continues, these impulses increase in intensity, causing the
diaphragm to contract repeatedly. In essence, the diaphragm  receives a
workout as it continues to contract throughout the breath hold. 3. The body experiences “good” str ess. When you hold your breath until a strong air hunger is experienced, you
expose your body to short-term  stress. This is beneficial because it causesthe body  to make adaptations that improve the functioning of the immune
system. Breath holding also boosts mental preparedness and willpower. For
athletes, it can help develop tolerance for strong feelings of breathlessness
and can significantly reduce exercise-induced asthma. When practicing this exercise, it can be motivating to wear a hand-held
pulse oximeter to observe your blood oxygen saturation as it lowers to
between 80% and 87%. This low blood oxygen level simulates training at
an altitu de of 4,000 to 5,000 meters (13,000 to 16,400 feet) above sea level
where the pressure of atmospheric oxygen is much less. In my experience, most studen ts can achieve simulation of altitude
training within three to four days of practice. Progress will depend on your
BOL T score, your level of fitness, and your genetic predisposition. Many
students manage to simulate altitude training on their first day of practice. The exercise causes the following ef fects:
• Creates a medium to strong hunger for air
• Activates the diaphragm
• Improves respiratory muscle strength
• Improves immune function
• Reduces the perception of breathlessness
• Greatly disturbs blood gases (hypoxic/hypercapnic response) to improve aerobic
and anaerobic capacity
• Generates anaerobic glycolysis without the need to perform intense physical
exercise
• Reduces chemosensitivity to CO 2
• Quietens the mind (the mind stops thinking during a stronger breath hold)
• Acts as a measure of the upper limit of breathlessness
This exercise is ONL Y SUIT ABLE for those in good health.Directions:
• Take a normal breath in and out through your nose. • Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold your breath. • Start walking with your breath held. • Walk faster. • Jog. • Jog faster. • Relax into the muscle contractions. • When the air hunger is moderate to strong, let go of your nose, and breathe in
through the nose. • Walk a few paces and stop. • Practice minimal breathing for six breaths. T ake very short breaths in and out of the
nose. Just breathe in enough air to fill the nostrils and no more. T ake hardly any air
into your lungs for six breaths or so. • And now breathe normally for 12 to 18 breaths. Allow your breathing to recover. • Following 18 normal breaths, repeat the exercise. • Repeat five times. #24. Get out of Y our Head
This exercise activates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous
system—the body’s stress-balancing relaxation response. It also exercises
the breat hing muscles. It is to be practiced while sitting or lying down. Each
set consists of three steps. This exercise is ONL Y SUIT ABLE for those not
pregnant and in good health.Directions:
Step 1:
• Breathe a fast, full breath in and a fast, full breath out through your nose. Fill your
lungs with air and exhale fast. • Repeat 20 full breaths in and out. Step 2:
• Exhale and hold the breath until you experience a medium to strong air hunger. You
may want to pinch your nose with your fingers to hold the breath. Step 3:
• Breathe light with air hunger for three minutes. Slow down the speed of your
breathing. During the inhalation, feel hardly any air entering your nose. Allow the
exhalation to be slow, prolonged, and relaxed. • Repeat the exercise two to three times from Step 1. #25. Rapid Fire Breaths
This morning, while working on this chapter, I had a telephone call with
Yasin Seiwasser. Yasin has been practicing martial arts and meditation for
over 35 years and is a former German MMA Champion. He holds the world
record for the fastest knockout of three seconds in an MMA title fight, has
trained US special forces and marines, and has worked as a bodyguard for
the King of Saudi Arabia. Needless to say, he knows a thing or two about
self-control. We discussed an exercise that can disrupt homeostasis (the body’


 CO 2 increases and your BOL T score improves, these feelings will ease. TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDER
In Chapter Six, on pain, we looked at temporomandibular joint disorder
(TMD) and its relationship to dysfunctional breathing. Howev er, there is
evidence that a link also exists between the condition and female sex
hormones. Gender differences in pain sensitivity are sometimes dismissed as
matters of psychosocial and social conditioning29. Increasingly, however, it
is believed that hormonal and other biological factors contribute30,31. Temporomandibular joint disorder is around 1. 5 to 2 times more prevalent
in women32 and can be much worse than in men. Anatomically, women
produce much higher levels of pressure in the temporomandibular joint
when clenching than men33. It was traditionally thought that abnormalities
in the alignment of the jaws and teeth are the primary cause of TMD, but if
this were the case, the condition should be just as common in men as
women. The estrogen hormone,  estradiol (E2), which is the primary female
sex hormone,34 has been found  to be a risk factor for temporomandibular
pain in rats. 35 Incidence of TMD in women is thought to peak between 20and 40 years, coinciding with reproductive function and decreasing in
menopause when estrogen production declines. 36
Hyperventilation during the second part of the menstrual cycle can
contribute to temporomandibular pain. This is partly due to
hyperventilation-induced adapta tions in posture and to changes in the blood
acid-base balance. For instance, the respiratory alkalosis that occurs when
blood CO2 drops is known  to trigger musc le pain, while overbreathing can
cause a forward head posture. Postural adaptations including a forward-thrust of the head and rounded
shoulders are common among people with dysfunctional breathing patterns. This often begins in childhood  due to open mouth breathing caused by
swollen adenoids. Equally, there  is a chicken-and-egg scenario where poor
posture from sedentary desk work can adversely impact breathing. 37
According to a 2019 article on the website Spine Universe, which describes
sitting as “worse  than smoking” in terms of health, 70% of people spend six
or more hours a day sitting down. 37
A forward head posture contributes to TMD because it reduces
“freeway space. ” Freeway space is the distance between the upper and
lower teeth when the jaw is in its rest position. When the head is pushed
forward, the back teeth connect and pressure on the temporomandibular
joint increases. Restoring freeway space is considered important in treating
TMD. 29
As with other pain conditions, symptoms of TMD fluctuate cyclically in
line with the menstrual cycle. In the luteal phase of the cycle, estradiol and
progesterone are released. Both hormones cause blood CO2 levels to fall,38
affecting the amount of air breathed per minute. 12 The pain associated with
temporomandibular disorder increases toward the latter part of the
menstrual cycle, peaking in the first three days of menstruation when
progesterone levels increase and then decline. A second spike in pain
coincides with ovulation,36 when estrogen levels fluctuate. The worst pain
corresponds with low or changin g estrogen levels. 36 While the influence of
sex hormones on pain is still relatively unstudied, the general consensus is
that changes in breathing patterns across the menstrual cycle likely
contribute to temporomandibular joint pain. MIGRAINE
Temporomandibular joint disorder is a risk factor for migraine39 and tension
headache. 40 At the same time, psychological conditions such as depression
and anxiety are common to people with temporomandibular pain,
migraines, and tension headaches. 41 It has been suggested that rather than
the problem in the jaw causing  the headache or migraine, these disorders
develop and progress via the same underlying imbalances in the central
nervous system. 39 This may be why relaxation techniques that influence the
nervous system are effective for the relief of both migraine42 and tension
headaches. 43
A case describ ed in the Journal of Neur ology, Neur osurgery &
Psychiatry  in 2004 demonstrated that hyperventilation,44 both during rest
and following physical exertion, “may cause severe, acute, ‘explosive’
headaches” and that these could  be prevented with relaxation exercises and
physical therapy. The precise cause of the headache in this case study was
not identified, but researchers suggested that breathing exercises may
prevent excessive hyperventilation after exercise, although they “would not
prevent physiological exercise induced hyperventilation. ” They suggest that
hyperventilation should be considered in all patients whose headaches are
triggered by exertion. It is important to remember that you can prevent exercise-induced
hyperventilation by practicing nasal breathing while exercising and by
improving your BOL T score. You can also make a conscious effort to bring
your breathing and heart rate under control after exercising with a slow
breathing practice. Hypercapnia (high blood CO2) has been found to stop the onset of
migraines by increasing cereb ral oxygenation—by dilating the blood
vessels in the brain. Researchers in a 2018 pilot study tested to find out
whether a self-administered partial rebreathing device would be effective
for migraine patients. 45 A partial rebreathing device is exactly what it
sounds like—a machine through  which the patient “rebreathes” exhaled air,
which has higher levels of CO2 than room air. To some extent, the same
effect can be achieved by wearing a face mask or covering. Eight women and three men with an average age of around 35 took part
in the trial. They each self-administered either the rebreathing device or a
placebo in response to migraine attacks. The results showed that the partial
rebreathing device increased end-tidal CO2 by 24% and maintained oxygen
saturation at over 97%. The intensity of headache symptoms after two hours
was significantly less with the rebreathing device. What’ s more, the device
became more effective the more  it was used, with even better results with
consecutive treatments. There were no adverse reactions, and side effects
were nonexistent or mild. The researchers concluded that induced
hypercapnia presents a promising alternative or add-on treatment for
migraine patients and further work should be done to investigate the
benefits in a lar ger population. The fact that the efficiency of the rebreathing device increased from one
treatment to the next corresponds with what we know about reduced-
volume breathing. Regular pract ice of breathing exercises to increase levels
of CO2 results in reduc ed sensitivity to CO2, and lighter, slower breathing,
as evidenced by a higher BOL T score. The 2018 hypercapnia study was preceded nearly 40 years earlier by an
investigation into the relationship between migraines and blood CO2. 46 A
1980 paper described the effects of CO2 on blood vessel s and circulation in
the brain, noting that anesthetists “regularly hyperventilate patients to
reduce brain volume during neurosur gery. ” The researchers hypothesized
that, if migraine falls into two categories, dilatory and constriction-based,
retaining CO2 during sleep could trigger migraines by dilating the blood
vessels, or hyperventilation provoked by “excitement, anxiety, or
expectation of physical or sexual activity” could trigger migraines by
constricting the blood vessels. The results showed that hyperventilation occurred at the peak of the
migraine, making the attack seem worse than it was. The researchers
suggested that not only was the perception of the migraine heightened but
symptoms were increased by the constriction of the blood vessels caused by
the hyperventila tion. This suggests that CO2 may play a part in the onset
and persistence of migraines. In 2015,  another paper in Medicine  found a correla tion between sleep-
disordered breat hing and migraine in adults but not in elderl y people. 47While more research is needed, it is thought that poor breathing patterns
during sleep could be either a trigger or a predisposing factor for the
development of migraines. None of these papers mention the connection between the incidence of
migraine and the menstrual cycle. 48 Various other studies have identified an
increase in the risk of migrain e without aura on the first two days of
menstrual flow, a reduced risk coinciding with the time of ovulation, and
much more prolonged headache s three to seven days before menstruation. 48
(Aura is a common neurologic al symptom of migraine usually involving
visual disturbances such as flashing lights before the eyes, tunnel vision,
and temporary blind spots. ) In one 2004 study, researchers observed that women were 25% more
likely to suffer from a migraine in the five days before their period, with the
risk increasing to 71% in the two days before, peaking on the first day of
menstruation and on the next two days. This was confirmed in 2007 when
scientists found that the highest occurrence of migraine coinc


istic fantasies that reduced
women to sex objects. It’ s about then that we thought it was cool to burn
our bras, to stop shaving our legs or armpits, to refuse to let men open doors
for us … but then to go at it like bunnies at the end of the day, of course. Knowing that our value lay in much more than just the look of our bodies
was a huge realization. But the fact that a woman’ s body isn’ t the essence of
her value does not mean that her body has no value. Thinking, as many of us did in those days, that any male celebration of
our looks was traitorous to some feminist ideal—while we sure were
enjoying all that celebration once the lights went down—inevitably created
a psychic ambivalence and dissociation. On the one hand, we were young
enough to enjoy the amazing sensations of youthful sexuality. At the same
time, we thought the only way to be really cool was to deny its importance. Conscious : My sexuality isn’ t what is important about me. Subconscious:  Therefore, my body isn’ t important. It was at about that time that my compulsive eating began. And in
retrospect, I can certainly see why. Added to the above was the loneliness of
my college years, during which time I added the “freshman 15” pounds that
such experience often entails. By then I was pretty much of f and running
straight into the darkness of food hell, where I remained for almost a
decade. A Course in Miracles  teaches us to beware the power of an unrecognized
belief. I have come to understand that based on my own personal history, I
had an unrecognized belief that my body was not good, was not lovable,
was not even important … and then I set out, unconsciously, to prove
myself right. Dissociation from the body, for whatever reason, robs you not just of the
joy of healthy eating, but of even identifying with your own body. Dissociation is when you see yourself here, and your body is there. It’s a
sense that you are somehow separate from your body, which is a tragic split
from self. I am well aware that the gradual trauma of my own body history is
nothing compared to what many others have experienced. For those who
have suf fered physical abuse—sexual or otherwise—an overwhelming
horror has elicited an overwhelming need to escape from pain at whatever
cost. Many overeaters don’ t actually inhabit their body so much as hover
above it or to the side of it some 6 to 12 inches, reenacting an ancient
response—tragically necessary at one time—to a shattering experience such
as being whipped or raped. This experience might go back to the earliest
days of childhood, even as far back as three or five years old. According to a study at the University of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine, up to 33 percent of American girls are molested, and research
tracking the connection between a history of molestation to obesity is in its
early stages. For many people, an instinctive escape mechanism that developed
originally in response to such abuse now trips like a switch in reaction to
almost any form of stress. The subconscious commanded, “Flee. Flee. ” and
the child who was powerless to flee physically developed the capacity to
flee psychologically. For the adult that the child one day becomes, the command to “Flee. ”
still exists not only in reaction to danger, but also in reaction to almost any
form of physical or emotional discomfort. This applies painfully, and
perhaps particularly, as a reaction to sexual intimacy. Healthy sex requires that you truly inhabit your body, and for a victim of
sexual abuse, this would feel like surrendering to a warning bell. If at a
moment of profound trauma your spirit left your body to escape the reality
of the experience, and never fully reentered it on a consistent basis, then
how do you escape your escapism in order to show up for sex. This would
obviously be very dif ficult. Compulsive food patterns become, for those dissociated from their body
for whatever reason, a way to reenact the original escape from pain and
confusion. In one moment of chemically induced numbness, you can feel,
“Ah, I escaped …” Reenacting your earlier escape from physical trauma,
you once again leave the realm of your suf fering behind … if even for a
moment. A Course in Miracles  teaches that you create what you defend
against. Defending against a physical trauma, you’ve created a new one: the
trauma of compulsive eating. Today’ s lesson begins to unravel this route of horror, the instinctive path
you still walk in an ef fort to deal with pain and stress. These days, your
stress might look nothing at all like the physical abuse you endured as a
child—it might be something as mundane as your need to pick the kids upat school, get them to soccer on time, and still get to the dry cleaners before
they close—yet your subconscious mind continues to interpret your stress
as danger and reacts to it that way. “I must get out of here. ” is all you know. And you “escape” into food. Your assignment now is to write your own personal story—where things
went right and where things went wrong. Explore how you came to
dissociate from, fear, and perhaps even hate, your body. And don’ t expect
all of this to be easy. Some of it might be funny, some of it might be
horrifying, some of it might be ridiculous, and some of it might be
extremely painful. What is important is that it be honest and true. By writing down your history, you will come to understand it more fully. And by understanding it more fully, you will emer ge from the darkness of
your subconscious bondage to fears that were born in a distant past. These
fears can be dissolved today, through grace and through love. In doing this
lesson, you begin the process. Use your journal pages to write your story, giving full attention to both
good and bad memories. Return this book to your altar after every entry you
write. Reflection and Prayer
Close your eyes and relax into a meditative state. During this time, allow
your mind to return to your experience of yourself as a baby, then a toddler,
then a small child, and so on. During every phase of the meditation, allow yourself to see what you
looked like at a certain time in your life, how you felt about your body,
what you went through, who was involved, where things went well, where
you were hurt, where you went unconscious, where you dissociated from
your body, where you began to hate your body, what attitudes you formed
about sex, where you decided to cover up your body with fat, and so forth. You will come to realize that your issues with eating have ultimately little to
do with food, and everything to do with thoughts about yourself. This will not be a quick meditation, or a casual one. There are many
feelings from your past that have remained unprocessed … many
experiences that you have not yet looked at through the lens of time andforgiveness … and many people, including yourself, whom you have failed
to understand. Use this course as a path to understanding now what you
could never have understood before. And remember: there is no rush. If done well, this exercise will probably
take some time. Dear God,
I give to Y ou my past
and ask that Y ou explain it to me. Unravel, dear God,
the cor ds of confusion
that bind me. Free me fr om the bondage
of blindness and misunderstanding. Return me, dear God,
to a sense of my body
that is Y our truth, and no one else’ s,
that is sacr ed and not impur e,
that is loving and not punishing,
that is joyful and not painful,
that is healthy and not diseased. Please, dear God,
undo my past and r eturn me to my
innocent self. Amen

CONSECRATE YOUR BODY
Your body is not separate from your mind so much as it is a reflection of
it. As you change your mind, you change every cell in your body. Such thoughts as I am fat, I am ugly, and I hate my body  are like
commands given to your body to materialize accordingly. If you think
negatively about your body, your body will reflect your negativity. If you
think lovingly about your body, then your body will reflect your love. And
there is no such thing as a neutral thought. What is not love, is an attack. And what is love, is a miracle. Let us now consecrate your body to be used for holy purposes. Holy
purposes are love and love only, and as you consecrate your body to love,
all that is not love can no longer hold sway within it. Whatever is dedicated
to the purposes of love is protected from the ener gy of chaos. Write down this line: I eat in a way that supports my being of service to
love. That is a good one, by the way, to put on a Post-it and keep on your
refrigerator door. With this lesson, we embrace a new perception of the body in order to
make manifest a new physical reality. Begin each day with a prayer:
Dear God,
As I awaken on this day,
may my body and mind


, in the conscious center of our being, no longer are we
slaves to the world in which we find ourselves. T wo principal phenomena
have resulted, one stigmata, the other a blessing. The stigmata are these: Life is lar gely a matter of disciplining oneself to
endure pain in order to achieve a desired end, but the immature person often
seizes on the image power of the mind to seek refuge from reality, and as a
result develops a kind of wish-thinking that makes them absolutely
ineffectual in all circumstances. They turn the power of the imagination
upon itself, destroying its ability to influence the outer world by setting it to
work on problems that have no relationship to the outer world. The victims
of such delusions are legion. Some populate our mental hospitals, addiction
treatment centers, and halfway houses. They constitute the majority of those
admitted to rehab for the treatment of alcoholism. And they are to be found
all over the world in a zombielike trance, making the movements of the
living, but with one foot in another world. On the other hand is the blessing that imagination brings. It is the mystic
seeing that enables us to gaze upon our surroundings with x-ray eye and
perceive in them their hidden potentiality. This harnessing of the image-
making power of the mind to the outer world of things and events has
transformed life on earth, has enabled us, in a few short centuries, not only
to achieve dominion over our immediate environment but to arrive at theverge of extending that dominion through the time-space continuum of the
universe. Most modern thinking conveniently divides the world into two dif ferent
classes of things, one substance, the other intelligence. Science takes great
pains to classify substance. It catalogs the elements and their various
combinations, delineates the makeup of the molecules whose cohesion
forms the elements, breaks down the molecule into various atomic weights,
and even dif ferentiates the atom into a nucleus and a certain number of
encircling electrons. At this point, the dif ference between hydrogen and
lead, for example, has become startlingly slight. Each has an invisible
nucleus encircled by a certain number of electrons, more in the case of lead,
but hardly appreciably more, and the dif ference between them appears to be
one of degree rather than one of kind. Our confusion grows when, through
the sudden process of nuclear fission, the atom itself is reduced to nothing
measurable, disappearing in a burst of flame, and we are forced to inquire at
last if substance is really substance after all but perhaps might not represent
a vastly subtler conception, of idea only, intelligence itself. Behind the Atom

If we examine any consciousness, we inevitably find a body of some sort, a
weight, scale, and dimension that houses the intelligence being examined
and refuses any kind of scrutiny separate from it. It seems most probable
that matter and intelligence are one and the same thing, that intelligence is
only a higher manifestation of matter, becoming apparent only in that
substance that takes on complexity. Once we have agreed that intelligence is
a manifestation of form, it is but a step further to gain a glimmer of the truth
that intelligence is evolutionary in the growth of matter, which leads us
inescapably to the conclusion that intelligence, while a manifestation of
matter, is superior to and has basic control of that matter. In short,
intelligence, or consciousness, or awareness, has inherent in itself control
over all physical circumstances, all events. The American artist and New Thought author W alter Russell is interesting
here: “That which man calls matter or substance,” he writes, “has no
existence whatever. So-called matter is but waves of the motion of light,
electrically divided into opposed pairs, then electrically conditioned and
patterned into what we call various substances of matter. Briefly put, matter
is but the motion of light, and motion is not substance. Our creative thinkers
must look primarily to light to perform tomorrow’ s miracles. ”
Light, ener gy, intelligence — whichever of the three you choose to
acknowledge as the moving force behind the universe, the primary thing is
to be able to acknowledge that substance is only relative, not a solid and
absolute thing at all, but representative of the working of mind and always
subservient to mind. A desk is not a desk except in the most crudely sensual
way. In actuality it is an enclosure or series of enclosures in which
molecules are speeding about at many times the swiftness of rifle bullets. A
million times more volume exists outside the molecules than in them, and if
those in steel, for instance, were to cease their movement for a moment, you
could poke your finger through the steel with the same ease as you poke it
through air. Basic behind the construction of matter is an innate symmetry, a kind of
mathematical ideation that can only be attributed to a thinking mind. The
atom itself, the smallest building block of substance, has a cohesiveness and
aesthetic composition that, beyond all things, implies individuality. The
atom indicates purpose, and it indicates an ur ge to survival. And when a
sufficient number of atoms of the right electronic makeup were combined to
make a protein molecule, then it was a very short time indeed before arms
and legs and eyes and brain were grown and there moved about on the
surface of matter an autonomous being seeking dominion over his
environment — the human. Consciousness Is Pr oportional to Complexity
 When we turn our reflections back to the origins of life and the purposes of
evolution we are struck at once with the picture of increasing complexity. From amoeba to human has taken many millions of years, and the two seem
scarcely related. Y et the step from inanimate matter to animate matter, as is
represented by the amoeba, is perhaps more breathtaking than the step from
amoeba to human, for the latter represents simply an increase in complexity
while the former represents something entirely dif ferent from what
preceded it. Out of the masses of slag and rock and steam emer ged an
element that moved, that grew and maintained itself — life. Y et even
growth there was not so much the evolution of one thing out of another
dissimilar thing, but rather an adding unto one thing of characteristics
lacking in its predecessor, so that the dif ference in condition between an
animate and inanimate thing is primarily one of complexity as against
simpleness. No physicist or chemist will deny that the protein molecule is more
complex than the molecules of inor ganic elements. Some great change once
transpired in nature for life to grow from inanimate substance, but in order
for this to ever happen, consciousness had to be inherent in all matter. It is
consciousness that is responsible for form. Wherever form is, there also is
an intelligent presence. It inhabits the rock and the mountain just as surely
as it does the human being. The form of the thing is dependent upon the
idea that holds its whizzing molecules within boundaries, and this contour
is just as surely mental as the concept of mathematics, and just as surely is
held by a thinking being whose presence is always found within. This leads us dangerously close to the established province of religion, but
we are not concerned here with a father image who has created children and
is raising them to knowledge. What we are concerned with is the bottom
root of intelligence, how and why it manifests in the universe, and whether
humans are divorced from that originating intelligence, subject to it as
slaves to master, or umbilically tied to it in such a manner that they are it
and it is they. How Thought Conditions Things
Those who see chaos as the originator of the worlds, coincidence as
responsible for the formation of human life, and futility as the earmark of
life, find at every hand just such a universe. Those who perceive a hardened
creator ordering his vassals about cannot help but be impressed by the
inequality of the human lot and perceive in the world much bitterness and
pain. Those who see an inhabiting presence in all things instinctively know
that all forms of the world are only ideas given substance, that the mind
which upholds each is resident within themselves, and that therefore they
are part and parcel of all peace, perfection, and ef fectiveness. The world, as
always, turns out to be exactly what our consciousness is conditioned to
see. It is this astounding and tremendously dynamic premise that life is built
upon, the central law upon which evolution itself hinges. We see only that which we think we will see, and in consequence the world
is peopled with things and events all dredged up out of our consciousness. A thing or a person or an event is not changed because of our
consciousness, but inherent in each are all qualities, and we sift out only
those that already occupy our awareness. It is for this reason that people are
villains in one circumstance, heroes in another; that each of us in our time
plays countless roles. It is not so much that we are dif ferent in each
circumstance, but that we are being constantly perceived by dif ferent
persons who view us only through a narrow slit of individual vision and
accept us for the thing they expect us to be. Consider an ordinary knife. T o the baker it is an instrument with which to
divide a loaf of bread into parts. T o the irate sociopath it is a weapon with
which to dispose of the object of

a. As you still the outer enough and enter into the Feeling of the Love in the Great Great
Silence, which is the Love in the Great Central Sun, as you enter into the Feeling of your Love
to that Great Central Sun, you will find coming back into the outer s elf Marvels and Blessings
which only that Love can give. b. Train your outer self to be still several times a day, even if for only a few minutes, until
everything in you quiets and the Light appears. You will soon be able to call forth from within
the Cosmic Light in the Great Great Silence, or from within the Sacred Fire there, whatever
Illumination to the mind, Purity and Peace to the feeling, you require in the outer self to draw
these Greater Blessings into your outer use; so They may fill your world with Their Miracles
and Activities, to bring you Happiness  and Victory over all limitation, and Freedom from all
that has been of distress of the past. c. As you begin to hold the attention upon the “Presence” and give the Call sometime each day,
then you assure your “Beloved Mighty I AM Presence” that you are determined to see It face to
face; then will It give you more and more of Its Light, and the Higher Mental Body will come
closer in and around the physical form in order to keep shut out the discord, until the vibratory
action in the attunement of the brai n takes place wherein the sight is cleared. With one strong
Command each day and the acceptance of that in your feeling world, you will begin to clear the
obstruction; and in some moment of Adoration to the “Presence,” It will part the veil and you
will se e It face to face. Hold Harmony and maintain the Purity required, and you will have the
full use of the All -Seeing Eye of God within you. d. The average person, even when individuals know this Law, will not still the outer long
enough and send Love, wi thout interruption, intensely enough to the “Presence,” to let all the
ideas required come into the outer self and clear the way, so you know unmistakably the right
thing to do. e. I cannot convey to you in outer words the Glory, the Happiness, the Power, the Blessings,
and Gifts which are yours for the taking - if you choose to command the turmoil of the outer
world to stand aside and be still, while you receive from the Great Heart of the Central Sun
