PITTA
SIGNS OF EXCESS PITT A DURING LABOR
Watch for the following signs of excess pitta during labor (and remember
that sometimes vata—movement—will push pitta, so in general, pacify vata
first):
Fever
Babe being born in less than three hours of regular contractionsEither a series of single contractions lasting two minutes or more or
a contraction frequency of five or more in ten minutes
Excess bleeding; postpartum hemorrhage
Hypoglycemia (blood sugar level lower than normal)
TO PACIFY  PITT A DURING LABOR…
Increase hydration to cleanse acidity from uterus and balance any
blood loss.
Stay nourished.
Avoid overheating.
Drink coconut water for cooling hydration.
Use rosewater mist on face and belly.
KAPHA
SIGNS OF EXCESS KAPHA  DURING LABOR
Watch for the following signs of excess kapha during labor:
Slow progress due to a large baby
Shoulder dystocia (one or both of the baby’ s shoulders gets stuck
inside the mother ’s pelvis during labor and birth)
TO PACIFY  KAPHA  DURING LABOR…
Keep active and moving to help overcome stagnation.
Assure that partner or doula is stimulating and watchful (doing birth
positions with mama, keeping her moving when she needs to)THE BIRTH OF MY SON
It was September 23, your due date, little one. I woke up at 3:45 a.m., like I
had almost every morning for the past two weeks, and got ready to head to
the temple. Since your papa was going anyway, I figured there was no
better way to start the day.
Hours later, we were at the DMV  when I started feeling little sensations
in my lower belly, like super -gentle period cramps, or maybe my belly was
rumbling…or maybe I had to poop. They continued throughout the
morning, during our business meeting, and still while having lunch.
Before heading to the springs, like we did each evening, I giddily told
your papa that something was happening. A huge smile took over his face,
as he announced, “W e’re going to have a baby!”
We drove to the springs and started timing the space between each
contraction; about ten to fifteen minutes. It was around 5 p.m., and they
were still gentle enough to breathe and move through with ease.
We were curious and excited. I still wasn’ t sure if it was real.
We swam in the cleansing turquoise waters; in through one spring,
down a short river, and out the main spring. I had three gentle contractions
while swimming, still unsure as to what was happening. Could he be
coming?! On the way home the contractions were coming about ten minutes
apart.
We were ready. All the walls had been painted, the birthing room
completely redone, new furniture for the living room, kitchen cabinets
thoroughly cleaned and or ganized, and the fridge fully stocked.
I felt like everything had to be perfect for you—as if a great soul were
coming for a visit. My nesting experience was so real; like I needed to
create the perfect environment and atmosphere to welcome you into—so I
could focus on the task at hand: birthing and caring for you once you were
here.
I went on the back porch and did some yoga. In savasana, I lay down,
staring up at the sky and the leaves—and the whole atmosphere began tochange.
I dropped into this realm of total presence…like all that existed was this
eternal moment. The sun was setting, and we went on a walk to the top of
the hill near our house. Everything was so vivid. The leaves in the trees—it
was as though I could see each one individually moving. The blades of
grass; the sounds of the birds; the colors in the sky. We laughed as I joked
that it felt like we were on drugs.
As we walked back through the front door we saw that your papa’ s
phone was flashing. It was our spiritual guide and teacher, Radhanath
Swami. We could not believe it. He asked some things about the Bhakti
Center, his spiritual center in Manhattan that we were directing at the time,
and then he asked how I was doing.
“Well actually, Maharaj,” my husband replied, “she’ s just starting
labor.”
He said that his timing is never so good, but Krishna really helped him
with this one and that it must have been the reason he called. He kept
repeating how auspicious it was. He asked to talk to me, as I gently
bounced on the labor ball, tears rolling down my face in disbelief as he
showered me with so many blessings and prayers. He said that it was going
to be hard, that is why they call it labor, but it was a labor of love for a
lifetime of service.
That phone call gave me strength for what was to come. He gave me
strength. I felt Krishna’ s presence and love with me from that moment on,
sent through one of His dearest devotees. Sometimes it is hard to give
myself in full surrender and faith to God, so He sent His messenger, whom I
have full faith in, and who has total faith in Him. I knew He was with me. It
was perfect. It would all be perfect, no matter how challenging it would
become.
The waves were coming about five minutes apart when we called one of
our midwives and with shyness and excitement told her what was
happening. She said, “This is just the beginning. Get some sleep tonight.
Call if anything changes, or I’ll check on you in the morning.” We went tobed. I could not sleep. The excitement, but also the sensations, were
keeping me up.
I went into the kitchen and started moving around the house more. I
found it was much more comfortable to be leaning over when a contraction
came. My breath became a lot stronger now, and my husband got up. It was
around midnight.
He started preparing a feast! He knew the midwives would be coming
and wanted them to have all the nourishment they needed, as well as for me
to have my favorite snacks. He made a huge pot of kitchari, cut up beautiful
fruits, toasted nuts, and made nourishing drinks.
I went into the bath. I remember yelling from the bath a few times,
“Vira! Get some sleep!” I wanted him to be rested for when I really needed
him.
The waves started coming on stronger. I sat on my knees in the bathtub
with my eyes closed. Every time a wave would come I would have to get
onto all fours. “Jai Gurudev, Jai Gurudev.” With every wave, I called on His
strength to support me. His presence was so strongly with me, and with
Him, the presence of God.
A recording of Badahari’ s kirtan was playing on repeat. Between
contractions my mind was totally, completely, 100 percent absorbed in the
maha mantra like never before.
Before heading back to sleep, my husband brought me his phone and
asked me to time the contractions and the space between them. As each
wave approached, I would push the button. As the wave subsided, I would
push it again. I did this for hours. The space between each wave felt like an
eternity—an opportunity for deep, restorative rest. I could not believe the
actual time was only three to five minutes.
I thought of Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita saying “…time I am” and
saw the gift He was giving me of an extended perception of the space
between.
At 4:30 a.m. I called my childhood best friend and asked her to come
over. We walked beneath the moon and stars. The trees would support methrough each contraction, as she listened and guided me through. I
remember feeling like the baby could come at any moment.
Around 6:30 a.m. the midwife called and asked if she should come over.
She arrived around 7:15 a.m. and checked my dilation. “Y up,” she said,
“Two or three centimeters.” Only two or three centimeters?! I could not
believe it. I felt so defeated. So defeated. I was up the entire night laboring,
had been awake for twenty-seven hours already—the sensations were so
strong, so consistent, and so close together.
“Perhaps take a walk, or maybe eat something,” she said. “But most
importantly, get some rest. Call me if anything changes.”
My husband set up pillows on our bed, against the wall so that I could
halfway sit up, leaning against them on my side. I would fall into a deep
sleep for three minutes at a time, before transitioning onto all fours, which
was the only position that I could move through a contraction in at this
stage.
For five hours I did this: lie halfway down; fall asleep; as the wave
rushed in, move onto all fours; as it subsided, lay back down. Around noon
I went to the bathroom. My mucous plug came out, which marked the next
stage of intensity.
Sounds started moving through me. Sounds that were moved from the
deepest part of me. As my uterus would contract, my body, not me, started
bearing down. It is


 pointed out, being mortal automatically entails suffering,
which is why he taught to seek enlightenment in order to preclude that
karmically determined recurrence. At very high levels, the subjective
experiencing of existence is no longer limited by the narcissisti c ego or the
psychological blocks of the positionalities. This condition is the
consequence of progressive surrendering at great depths of all limitations
and belief systems. The require ment is the persistent “one-pointedness of
mind,” processing out the emotional/mental residuals of lower
consciousness levels and surrendering all self-identities and mental belief
systems.
The capacity to reach the condition or state classically called
“enlightenment” represents the fulfillment of the potential of consciousness
in its evolutionary progression.
Consistent application of any spiritual principle can unexpectedly result
in a very major and sudden leap to unanticipated levels. At that point,
memory may not even be avail able; instead, the Knowingness of Spiritual
Truth presents itself silently.
Comfort and confidence can be derived from this verifiable reality: that
the rare persons  who are actual ly attracted to enlightenment as a life goal
are attracted because that is already their destiny. For the same reason, only
future golfers would be taking golf lessons.
Enlightenment is the consequ ence of the surrender of all dualistic
illusions to Truth. All suffering ends with dissolution of the ego’s
positionalities. Thus do we praise the Lord God for radiating Light to the
world.
To seek enlighte nment is a major decision. The decision itself is therefore
akin to a “yang ” position—bu t subsequently, the process itself is more
intrinsically akin to a “yin” posture. While the ordinary ego is programmed
to “getting” (yang), spiritual intention now shifts to “allowing” (yin).
The dedication to Self-realization and enlightenment is a disciplined
straight-and-narrow path. Thus, a serious devotee is advised to bypass the
attraction of curiosity and the appeal to the inner child offered by the
magical and mysterious paranormal and psychic phenomena that are
commonly merchandized and prof fered as learnable skills.
Spiritual evoluti on is a lifetime commitment and a way of life by which
the world and all experience subserves spiritual intention.... Miraculous
events are merely the actuali zation of potentiality that appears when
conditions are appropriate.... From an even more advanced level of
consciousness, it becomes apparent that all phenomena are actually
occurring sponta neously as a consequence of the evolution of the universe
itself, and therefore not only is life perfect at any moment, but it is also a
continuous revelation in which one is a participant/observer.
Aware mind is not prone to bana l positionalities or judgments nor does it
get entrapped in frenetic endea vors. It tends to be easygoing and mellow
and prefers to observe rather than to become involved in the world’ s
dramas. A ware mind is not involved in worldly definitions of gain or loss.
The state of enlightenment is therefore the potential Reality that replaces
the illusions of the ego’s perceptual positionalities. Spiritual intention,
effort, and decision potentiate the evolution of consciousness from the
linear limited to the nonlinear Allness of Reality.
God is the source and presence of peace, love, stillness, and beauty. God
is beyond all universes and materiality, yet is the source of All That Is.
To seriously seek enlightenment is a very strict discipline that therefore
eschews the attraction of involvement in supposed spiritual movements that
are actually intrinsically politica l in nature and factional. The attraction of
“changing the world” (for the presumed better, of course) appeals to the
naïve idealism of the inner spiritual adolescent and is transcended with
maturity. The nature of human life is the automatic consequ ence of the
overall level of human consciousness itself. Therefore, to benefit the world,
it is necessary to change not the world but oneself—for what one becomes
is influential by virtue of its essence (nonlinear) and not its actions (limited
and linear).
The energy of life is a radiance from the field of consciousness,  which is
the mode of the Presence of Divinity that manifests in physicality as
Creation. The capacity for enlightenment is merely a consequence of
consciousness returning to its source, which is Divinity Immanent as Self.
The ego/self identifies with its various functions and qualities and labels
them as “me” and says that is “who I am.” This results in the vanity of
authority, an error that originated during evolution as a consequence of
identification with the experienc e of the senses. Thus comes about a typical
conclusion that “I” itch, instead of “the body” itches. The same error of
authorship/ownership occurs with feelings and thoughts in that the witness
identifies with the subject and the content of the experiencer.
The experiencer function is an information probe that collects linear data
and therefore is an “it” and not a “me.” It is a functional processing unit
similar to the senses of smell or touch.
Enlightenment is the consequence of a major shift of content and
identification. The experiencer focus is like a screen that veils Reality and
drops of its own accord when the props are removed. This is the
consequence of surrendering the will to God. The sense of reality of the self
was actually due solely to the underlying Presence of the Self.
It is helpful to remember that neither Truth nor enlightenment is
something to be found, sought, acquired, gained, or possessed. That which
is the Infinite Presence is always present, and its realization occurs of itself
when the obstacles to that realization are removed. It is therefore not
necessary to study the truth but only to let go of that which is fallacious.
Moving away the clouds does not cause the sun to shine but merely reveals
that which was hidden all along.
Spiritual work, therefore, is primarily a letting go of that which is
presumably known for that which is unknown—with the encouragementthat the effort is more than well rewarded from others who have realized the
Infinite Presence.
To look within for the actual source of love leads to the discovery of the
Self. Like the sun, the Self is ever present, unconditional, and not subject to
thought, opinion, or attitude. The Self can only love because  that is its
essence. The love of the Self is not earned, deserved, or subject to
limitation. The Self is the source of life and the subjective awareness of
existence.... It is beyond all dualities; there is no duality between the Self
and existence. The Unmanifest and Manifest are one and the same.
Consciousness may include content, or it may not. By analogy, space is not
dependent on the presence of planets or universes, yet it includes all of
them.
Consciousness does not recognize separation, which is a limitation of
perception. The enlightened state is a “Oneness” in which there is no
division into parts. Such division is only apparent from a localized
perception; it is only an accident of a point of view.
To best serve the world, seek enlightenment and transcend illusions
rather than contribute to them.
The Infinite, Ultimate Potentiality is the Actuality of Existence. “All That
Is” is therefore innately Divine, or it could not exist at all. The absolute
expression of Divinity is Subjec tivity. If I exist, then God Is. Enlightenmentis the verification that all existence is not only the result of Creation, but
that existence itself is not different from the Creator. The created and the
Creator are one and the same.
Through spiritual alignment, intention, and devotion—aided by
meditation, contemplation, authenticated instruction, and Truth; and
assisted by the energy field of an advanced teacher—gre at leaps of
consciousness can occur unexpectedly. Thus, it is important to know of
these leaps well in advance, as confirmed by consciousness research.
The chances of becoming enlightened are now more than one thousand
times greater than at any time in the past, which means that reaching the
level of Unconditional Love (calibration 540) is a very attainable and
practical goal. From the level of Unconditional Love, the pathway is
increasingly joyful. At level 600, there occurs an infinite, silent stillness and
peace—and progression from there is up to the Will of God, karma, and the
potentialized Knowingness nascent within the spiritual aura.
Truth is recogniz ed. It presents itself to a field of awareness that has been
prepared in order to allow the presentation to reveal itself. Truth and
enlightenment are not acquired or achieved. They are states or conditions
that present themselves when the conditions are appropriate and the
obstacles are removed.
All avenues of questioning lead to the same ultimate answer. The
discovery that nothing is hidden and Truth stands everywhere revealed is
the key to enlightenment about the simplest practical affairs and the destiny
of mankind. In the process of examining our everyday lives, we can find
that all our fears have been based on falsehood. The displacement of thefalse by the true is the essenc e of the healing of all things visible and
invisible. And always, a final question will eventually arise for every
questioner—the biggest question of all: “Who am I?”
Investigation into the nature of consciousness leads directly to the very
source of illumination, for the Light of Consciousness is the condition of
enlightenment. By its Light, the knower and the known are united in the


practice of taking tea. However he promised to reduce the quantity and also stop taking very hot tea. After about a month I again met with him. This time he was happy that his condition was better. He was planning to stop the tea altogether to get full benefit from water of life.   "Miracles of Urine Therapy" by Morarji Desai  TESTICLE PAIN  “B. Fande, had pain and swelling in his right testicle and thigh. Medicine could not cure him. He  fasted on urine for two days, massaged with urine for 15 minutes daily, used to drink urine about four times a day, and was particular about dieting. He was completely cured.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  THORN IN FOOT  Shri Mangilal Malviya who is a naturopath related his experience of urine therapy to Raojibhai. Once he was going through a forest on foot. He was wearing a chapel. A long thorn suddenly penetrated into his left foot. Pain was unbearable. With great difficulty and force he could take out that thorn. Removal of thorn resulted in a gush of blood. He urinated on it and tied a piece of cloth at the spot. Pain vanished and was healed with any pus.   Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  THYROID 182  Ma. Rosalba C. of Ramirez. Mexico  "I am 47 years old, I had 5 children. I give thanks to God for the knowledge of urine therapy. Want to give my testimony to all the people of how I am and how I healed. In 1980, I had a very strong car accident, I had to remove the spleen; from there I became sick. In July 1993, after passing through a very sad situation, two brothers were killed and other family problems. I began to suffer from depression, headaches and neck, cramps in the hands and feet, also felt some palpitations too strong, my eyes were deformed, were swollen and exalted. There were nights I could not sleep and suffered from insomnia, I started to lose a lot of weight, I felt like I was drowning, I could not go to the bathroom alone and was very thirsty. I have a brother who is a doctor and started giving me medication, serum injected me and healed me. He had to stay in the hospital where he works after several studies, doctors there told me that my thyroid gland was not working well.  I was prescribed pills and was taking them for a year or so. I improved a little, but if I stopped taking the pills, I became shaky. I was sent to another hospital with a specialist to see if he could cure this disease. By then I had a tumor in the neck that was growing and if I stopped taking the medicine the symptoms would return, but I could not take the medication, it was like a drug. In this hospital I was sent to another, to apply nuclear medicine. Radioactive iodine was what I had to take, with which I felt very tired and various other symptoms.  I was alone, I was still without strength, I wanted nothing more than to be dead. I went back to the Doctor, after 15 days, because the symptoms were the same. There was no improvement. The doctor told me to continue taking the medicine again. I felt that iodine I had done nothing, and as I frequently had sore throat and bronchitis, I was taking 6-8 daily medications. I was starting to hurt the kidneys and did not know whether to take the medicine or not.  One day my husband took me to hospital, and I was diagnosed with a tumor in the breast. I worried because I was filling diseases. One day, as in May of 1995, I was invited to be a witness, before a notary, to some scriptures. I gladly went along with neighbors and friends, and that was when a neighbor said the urine was good for all diseases and that was in the Bible. In Proverbs 5 verses 15 to 18. The next day I started taking just a little with water, because I did not know how to take it. When I started taking the urine, I had bronchitis and was taking thyroid medicine and antibiotic. I continued with the urine; at that moment the medicine disgusted me. It couldn't take it, and I gradually stopped taking the medicine. I didn't have directions, nor had I attended any conference. 183  Three months later, I came across a paper with instructions or directions and an explanation of all that urine cures. It was then that I started fasting for one day, then two days and thank God, I fasted for three days; before the fasts, I had the opportunity to go to a conference.  I'm cured of the thyroid, and that I have no neck tumor, I feel great, I'm not on drugs and breast cyst disappeared. Varicose veins in the legs are going away, and I can see without glasses. I wish everyone had this wise knowledge so that  everyone can heal without spending money, you only need prayer to God and your water of life."  Testimonials of Patients Cured by Urine Therapy http://paraisodelasalud.org/testimonios.htm  THYROID  Ma. of Refugio S., Mexico. "In 1990 I started with the issue of Thyroid. Every year I did analysis and x-rays to be able to shrink the tumor. It appeared that it wouldn't go away with medication. I took 3 radiation treatments and still it did not reduce the tumor. One day, I realized from the conferences they gave in October 1995. I started the urine therapy and that was my relief. Now I'm healthy. I thank God for therapy."  Testimonials of Patients Cured by Urine Therapy http://paraisodelasalud.org/testimonios.htm  TOE BLEEDING  Once I myself was walking on a rocky terrain with my friend. All of a sudden my right foot collided with a big stone. My toe started bleeding profusely and nail was half torn. I was in a fix as to what to do when my friend reminded me to urinate on it. I followed his advice and tied the toe with a urine-wet piece of handkerchief. I kept on wetting it for days and the toe was completely healed.  Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  TOOTH ACHE  “Banarsidas Brahmachari is a propagandist of Urine Therapy. He had a toothache in 1966. He began gargling, and he found great relief in only 20 minutes. In three days he completely cured his toothache by only gargling with urine.” 184  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  TOOTH ACHE  Once I was on a train with my wife. It was night long journey. In the middle of night her tooth started aching severely. I had few tablets of aspirin with me but it did not work. I then asked her to go to bathroom and put some urine in the mouth and rinse for few minutes. She did not like the idea but pain was severe and there was no other way. At last she did try the remedy and was relieved like magic.  "Miracles of Urine Therapy" by Morarji Desai  TOOTH ACHE  Once one of my relatives came to me with severe toothache. He had a cavity in his molar tooth and that was the source of pain. I took a piece of cotton and soaked it in the urine bottle and inserted it in the cavity. Within a minute pain subsided.  "Miracles of Urine Therapy" by Morarji Desai  TOOTH INFECTION  “Jose Martinez had a bad infection in a tooth that needed root canal or extraction. The infection caused his face to become inflamed and he had a lot of pain. He obtained temporary relief with pain killers, but he was getting desperate. He remembered reading in the urine therapy book that holding a mouthful of urine for a few minutes was an excellent treatment for this type of problem. He used the remedy every four to six hours as recommended just as if he was taking medication. He was desperate and wanted to see if this simple remedy would work before going to the emergency room at a local hospital. He recalled the taste of urine being repulsive, but the pain was unbearable. Besides holding urine in his mouth, he also put a rag soaked in urine on his face. within minutes, the pain started diminishing and two hours later the inflammation started subsiding. He prepared the ultimate universal remedy and used it as instructed, every three hours, for a few days before seeing the dentist and all the while the pain and the infection were under control. His dentist could not believe Martinez’s story and though she will never admit it in public, she now mentions the application to patients who are allergic to or do not like using antibiotics.”  Uropathy by Martin J.

 you
exhale, relax your abdominal muscles. When the abdominal cavity is not
involved in the breathing process, the breath will be less deep, and the
relaxed abdominal muscles will not respond to exhalation. Place both hands
on the lower abdomen to check how relaxed these muscles are. When the
uterus contracts during childbir th, the ability to relax the muscles of the
abdominal cavit y is very usefu l to you (the uterus will be able to move
freely). T rain to breathe at a speed of 6-10 times per minute.
Chest br eathing

Fig. 34

Now try to train chest breathing  using only the muscles of the chest. Place
both hands on the ribs under the chest so that the fingers touch the ribs and
the thum b is pointing to the back. Inhale and separate the finger s so that the
ribs expand, exhale - and the fingers join. Repeat several times. Watch the
abdominal cavit y. It moves slightly, but does not participate in the process
of breath ing. Now your breathing is more superficial and faster, 12-20 times
per minute. The count for inhalation and exhalation should be the same. It’s
difficult to regulate the breathing process, but these exercises will help you
to consciously prepare for the birth process, as they are extremely important
for their relief, Fig. 34.
Shallow br eathing

Try breathing while tensing your chest muscles even less. Open your mouth
so that the tongu e rests relaxed, resting its tip against the front lower teeth
and is constantly moistened with saliva. Exhale a little audibly with a slight
push of air out. Try to keep air over a moist tongue to avoid dry throat.
Gently push the air out again, and you will find that after a little effort to
exhale, a calm breath occurs by itself. Listen to the rhythm of the sounding
breath: as if the child is portraying a moving train. Breathing should be
superficial and thus frequent. The body moves slightly in the diaphragm,
which, in turn, will cause the stomach and chest to move slightly. Try to
keep your shoulders relaxed and the upper half of your body moving
slightly. It is necessary to breathe so that in one second to produce one
exhale. Let the air exit as freely  as it enters. Return to chest breathing, then
to abdominal breathing and then do full breathe several times.
Using this breathing training technique, you should exhale with effort when
the muscles involved in the exercise contract. Inhale when the muscles are
relaxed. During  hard work or exercise or in the most difficult minutes of
labor during labor, go to shallo w breathing when you feel the need for it.
Superficial breathing can help during intense contractions during childbirth. Chapter 14. Breathing exercises in the water

Swimming is an excellent way to improve the condition of the respiratory
system. The combination of swimming and special “water” breathing
exercises is especially effective. Regular exercises in the pool form the
correct breathing, develop the lungs, and strengthen the respiratory muscles.
It is very important that at the same time hardening of the body occurs at
the same  time. The complex of breathing exercises listed below is designed
primarily for a person with moderate and weak physical fitness, starting
training in water for the first time or after a long break. For those who have
been attending fitness classes for a long time, these exercis es are also
useful, but then they should be performed in a more intensive mode, with a
greater range of movements. Most swimming pools have a sloping bottom.
For breathing exercises you will need the place in the pool where the water
has the smallest depth - it reaches the armpits.

Exer cise 1

Standing in the pool, make circular movements with straight arms forward
5 times in a row, then take a deep breath, immerse your face in water and
exhale slowly. Straighten your body, take another breath and repeat a slow
exhale into the water. Now make circular motions with your hands back and
again inhale twice and exhale twice in the water. At first, repeat the exercise
2-3 times, subsequently - up to 10 times. Increase the load gradually.

Exer cise 2
 Lie down on the water with your hands on the pool handrail. To maintain a
horizontal positi on, make movements with your legs, as when swimming
with the crawl style. Breathe in the method of diaphragmatic breathing by
exhaling into the water. The duration of the exercise is 1-2 minutes.

Exer cise 3

Standing in the water, take a deep breath and sit down, immersed in the
water with your head. Grasp your knees with your hands, press your chin to
your chest and float to the surface. In the float position, continue holding
your breath for 5-15 seconds (depending on your health condition and
duration of your workouts). Then exhale into the water through half-closed
lips and return to the starting position. Initially, it is enough to perform this
exercise once. After 2-3 weeks after the start of classes, you can repeat it 2-
3 times per workout.

Exer cise 4

Walk along the bottom of the pool, lifting your hips high in the water.
Respiration counts: 1,2 - inhale, 3, 4, 5 - exhale, 6, 7, 8 - pause. Duration -
2-3 minutes.

Exer cise 5

Stand with your back to the pool wall. After taking a deep breath, sit down
and exhale slowly underwater through half-closed lips. Return  to starting
position and after a short pause, repeat the exercise. Repeat 5-10 times.
 Exer cise 6

Standing in water, jump out of it as high as possible. Start with 3-4 jumps
and gradually bring this number to 10-15.

Exer cise 7

Lie on the water on your back. Resting your feet against the wall, take a
deep breath, then push your legs bent at the knees from the pool wall, hold
your knees to your chest and, holding your hands along the torso, slip along
the surface of the water on your back while exhaling. Perform this exercise
1-2 times per lesson.

Exer cise 8

Standing in the water, perform movements with your hands, as when
swimming with the breaststroke style, for several minutes.

At the end of the gymnastics, swim in the pool for your pleasure or find
yourself company and play ball in the water. The total duration of the lesson
is 30-60 minutes. Chapter 15. Massage of the internal organs with
the help of breathing

In Chin a, practitioners of the Taoist teachings practice almost the same
exercises. They call it "back breathe." During such training, the abdominal
muscles do not relax on inhalation, but tense. The diaphragm moves down.
The chest does not expand. Filling the lungs with air is possible only due to
their "inflating" towards the abdominal cavity, and, accordingly, squeezing
the internal organs. At the same time, an active massage of the internal
organs, including the adrenal glands, affecting the hormonal background of
a person takes place.
And similar exercises below are suggested by Buteyko followers. These
simple exercises can alleviate and cure many acute and chronic diseases and
health conditions, improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system,
immune, muscle  and nervous system, kidneys, digestive tract, liver, lungs,

Stomach br eathing or lower br eathing
Starting position : lying, sitting or standing. The muscles are relaxed. Place
one palm on your stomach, the other on your chest. Take a slow but strong
exhale, while pulling the abdominal wall inward. Slowly through the nose,
inhale, the diaphragm relaxes during this movement, the abdominal wall
bulges outward; the lower part of the lungs is filled with air.
When you exha le, the abdominal wall is pulled inward, air from the lungs
leaves through the nose. When  performing several breaths in a row, the
stomach performs wave-like movements, massaging the stomach,intestines, and liver, Fig. 35. The exercise is repeated 4-6 times  3-4 times a
day.

	one’s
family,	company,	country,	or	all	mankind,	or	one	can	make	money	out	of
fear,	greed,	or	selfishness.	If	we	view	our	work	as	a	contribution	to	society,
it	then	becomes	a	gift	no	matter	how	seemingly	simple	it	may	be.	To	peel
potatoes	out	of	love	for	one’s	family	or	for	the	benefit	of	those	who	need
to	eat	is	spiritually	uplifting	to	the	Self	and	the	world.
					One	makes	a	gift	of	one’s	life	and	endeavors	by	sanctifying	it	with
love,	devotion,	and	selfless	service.	That	is	the	way	of	the	heart	to	God.	In
that	way,	domestic	life	becomes	a	form	of	worship	and	the	source	of	joy	to
all.	When	we	seek	to	uplift	others,	we	are	uplifted	in	the	process.	Giving	is
therefore	self-rewarding	for	there	is	actually	no	‘other’	that	is	being	given
to.	Every	kind	thought	or	smile	is	therefore	spiritual	and	benefits	oneself
as	well	as	all	the	world.
Q:	What	is	love?	Often	it	seems	to	be	unreachable.
A:	Love	is	misunderstood	to	be	an	emotion;	actually,	it	is	a	state	of
awareness,	a	way	of	being	in	the	world,	a	way	of	seeing	oneself	and
others.	Love	for	God	or	nature	or	even	one’s	pets	opens	the	door	to
spiritual	inspiration.	The	desire	to	make	others	happy	overrides
selfishness.	The	more	we	give	love,	the	greater	our	capacity	to	do	so.	It	is
a	good	beginning	practice	to	merely	mentally	wish	others	well	in	the
course	of	the	day.	Love	blossoms	into	lovingness,	which	becomes
progressively	more	intense,	nonselective,	and	joyful.	There	comes	a	time
when	one	‘falls	in	love’	with	everything	and	everyone	they	meet.	Thistendency	to	be	intensely	loving	has	to	be	curtailed	because	love,	curiously
enough,	frightens	many	people.	Many	people	cannot	look	fully	into
another	person’s	eyes	for	more	than	a	brief	second,	if	at	all.	This	is
especially	so	if	the	one	looking	at	them	radiates	lovingness.	Some	people
even	panic	when	exposed	to	love.
					Some	spiritual	treatises	teach	that	there	are	really	no	stages	of
enlightenment,	as	though	it	were	an	all-or-none	phenomenon.	This
represents	the	unexamined	view	or	only	a	partial	report	that	was	conveyed
by	some	teacher	for	a	specific	purpose	to	a	specific	audience	at	a	specific
time.	To	fully	understand	any	statement,	we	need	to	know	the	context
within	which	it	was	made.
					Study	reveals	that	saintliness	is	a	descriptive	term	applied	to	people
who	have	reached,	usually,	the	calibrated	level	of	the	high	500s.	At	this
level,	joy	leads	many	to	become	spiritual	and	inspirational	teachers,
healers,	great	artists,	or	even	great	architects	who	create	the	great
cathedrals,	great	inspirational	music,	and	the	production	of	beauty	in	all	its
forms.
					Enlightenment	proper,	that	is,	the	replacement	of	duality	with
nonduality,	calibrates	at	600	or	over.	We	could	say	that	any	calibration	of
600	or	more	formally	denotes	enlightenment.
					At	about	the	calibrated	level	of	600,	bliss	intervenes	and	worldly
activity	stops,	sometimes	permanently.	If	the	person	is	destined	to	remain
in	the	world,	this	state	is	said	to	‘ripen’,	and	there	is	a	slow	return	of	the
capacity	to	function.	Some	enlightened	‘persons’	retreat	to	spiritual
practice	and	meditation	and	evolve	into	the	700s.	At	that	level,	the	world
as	commonly	described	is	no	longer	a	self-existent	reality.	There	are
neither	separate	persons	nor	a	world	that	needs	saving.	All	is	evolving
according	to	Divine	Will.	The	world	is	surrendered	to	God,	and	its	destiny
is	self-fulfilling.	No	intervention	is	necessary.	All	life	is	the	evolution	of
consciousness	and	the	unfolding	of	Creation.	The	aura	emanating	from
persons	who	calibrate	in	the	700s	has	an	attraction	and	an	effect	on
visitors.	They	like	to	be	near	its	presence	where	they	feel	peace.	In	that
energy	field,	so-called	problems	resolve	spontaneously,	and	serenity
replaces	fear	and	anxiety.	That	energy	field	hastens	the	spiritual
realizations	and	progress	of	visitors.	The	energy	fields	of	600	and	up,
especially	in	the	700s,	recontextualizes	positionalities	that	then	resolve
imaginary	conflicts.
					In	the	700s,	there	is	usually	withdrawal	from	the	ordinary	world.	There
is	a	tendency	to	spontaneously	teach.	Many	at	that	level	develop	groups	of
spiritual	students	and	seekers,	establish	ashrams,	yoga	centers,monasteries,	and	spiritual	orders.	Some	are	called	masters,	gurus,	sages,	or
various	spiritual	titles,	depending	on	the	culture.
Q:	What	of	the	800s?
A:	Much	less	is	known.	Whereas,	in	the	700s	teachers	address	primarily
individuals	or	groups,	in	the	800s	and	900s,	the	concern	is	with	the
salvation	of	mankind	as	a	whole.	In
Power	versus	Force
,	minimal	data
was	reported	on	the	800s	or	900s,	although	the	various	chapters	in	the
book	calibrate	at	840	to	850.	The	concern	in	the	800s	and	900s	is	with
enlightenment	and	the	spiritual	inspiration	of	all	humanity,	along	with	the
raising	of	the	level	of	consciousness	of	all	mankind.	There	is	also	the
capacity	to	comprehend	and	delineate	the	nature	of	consciousness	itself
and	to	communicate	that	information	in	such	a	way	as	to	support
comprehension.	In	the	700s,	a	typical	statement	might	be,	“There	is	no
world	to	save;	it	is	an	illusion.”	This	is	not	comprehensible	nor
information	that	is	useful	to	many.	In	the	800s,	however,	there	seems	to	be
a	concern	with	explanation	by	effective	communication.	The	natural
language	in	the	800s	and	900s	seems	to	be	concerned	with	spiritual	reality,
essences,	understandings,	and	clarifications.	Form	and	its	details	are
irrelevant	except	as	a	necessary	style	for	communication.
Q:	The	calibrated	levels	seem	to	have	great	significance.
A:	They	are	extremely	useful	and	of	great	value.	Each	level	denotes	not	only
a	level	of	power	but	also	of	content.	It	recontextualizes	information	in
order	to	create	a	valid	map	that	enables	a	meaningful	approach	and
understanding,	especially	of	spiritual	information.
					It	is	helpful	to	realize	that	truth	is	really	a	continuum	of	understandings
and	the	capacity	to	comprehend.	Much	confusion	in	society	as	well	as
philosophy	stems	from	not	realizing	the	importance	of	defining	the	context
of	these	levels.	Each	level	has	a	different	context	of	reality.	What	seems	to
be	worth	dying	for	at	one	level	is	seen	as	absurd	or	nonsensical	at	another.
These	levels	define	different	sets	of	positionalities.	At	one	level,	right
versus	wrong	is	of	primary	concern	and	the	basis	for	war	and	destruction.
From	another	level,	all	such	discussions	are	seen	as	arbitrary,	naïve,	and
part	of	cultural	conditioning	or	moralistic	demagoguery.	It	is	obvious	that
‘right’	and	‘


 be
described as a door or a lock. When shut in the female. as in the male, they
close off the upper body and allow the energy to collect and buil d up in the
abdominal channel. With out this build -up of energy. it is impossible to
properly stimula te the sexual organ s. and in tum, the other glands of the
body. It is essential. then, to gain mastery over this lock if one is to
strengthe n one's system sufficiently to begin to ener gize the higher spir
itual centers in the body.
PRONE POSITION FOR THE DEER EXERC ISE
The prone posi tion of the Deer may be used as an alterna tive when one is
unable to practice the Deer in a sitting position.
1. Be gin by lying on your left side. (Sin ce the Deer is perfonned for
only a short period of time, one may lie on either the right or left side
without straining the heart.)
2. The left leg should be stretched straight out while the right leg,
with the knee bent, lies on top. This posit ion opens the pelvis so the
anus and rectum may be cont racted with ease.
3. The left ann lies on the floor with the hand down to war d the left
leg, and the right ann i s placed, with the hand down, in front of the
body. Support the head with a cushion so the neck does not become
strained.
Figure 45. Prone Position for the Dee r Exercise. The Internal Exercises
4. Perform the movements as outlined in the Deer Exercise. (One
may forego the hand rubbing on the pubis if this is too uncomfortable.
The main benefit of the Deer is gained from the tightening of the anal
muscles.)
5. Combine the breathing as taught in the Crane Exercise to complet e
this pose. Repeat the breathing twelve times while simulta neously
contracting the anal muscles.
NOTE: You may wish to practice this exercise while lying in the
sunlight so that the sun bathes the anus and body in its health
enhancing and energy-producing light. Please refer ahead to the Sun
Worship Exercise, which utilizes the energizing and gennicidal qual
ities of the rays of the sun.
THE CRANE EXERC ISE
A special species of crane can be found in China. These cranes-male
and female- are distingui shed by their poisonous red combs. The poisons
which have been ingested throughout the crane's life are stored in its comb,
causing the comb to be extremely poisono us. High -ranking soldiers of the
early dynasties used this quality to demonst rate their loyalty to their
princes. Those who were qualified to wear the combs around their necks or
arms were so highly regarded that punishm ents for their wrongdoings were
not meted out in the court of law; if these men did something wrong, they
would commit suicide by licking the comb. The poisons stored in the comb
were potent enough to kill a large man in minutes. Yet every bit of that
poison passed throu gh a crane's system without harming it. In fact, the
red-combed crane was noted for its longevity.
In light of the crane's lethal diet-one composed mainly of poisonou s
amphibians and insects-th e previous observation comes as a bit of a
surprise. But past investigations have pinpointed the cause of the crane's
longevity. First it was assumed that the cranes had digestive systems which
were strong enough to take in lethal doses of toxins and then store them
without banning the other organ systems. But it was found that their
digestive systems did not differ markedly from those of other, poison
intolerant birds. So the ancient Taoists observing them determined there
100 The Internal Exercises
lllustration 4. The Crane.
101 The Internal Exercises
was something else which gave them the ability to protect themselves
from toxins. When those Taoists realized that the crane's unique pose
one leg folded into the belly and one leg holding the bird erect-gave the
bird its unique characteristics, the Crane Exercise was developed.
As it stands, the crane will fold one leg into its belly and exert pressure on
its abdominal muscles and internal organs, to stimulate and strengthen its
digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems. This pose will not lose its
efficaciousness when it is adapted for human use. Since human intestines
are involunt ary organs and are located in areas which are unreachable by
external exercise, emulating the crane will benefit the digestive system
greatly. Humans emulate the crane by practicing standing on one leg and
then by learning to use the diaphragm to massage the digestive and
intestinal organs.
Historically, as well as in modem times, man has suffered from many
acute and chronic problems of the abdomen including constip ation, di
arrhea, ulcers, diverticulitis, and cancers of the stomach, intestines and
colon. All of these diseases are caused by· a similar problem-w eakness in
one or more parts of the digestive tract. When a tissue or an organ is weak,
it is more susceptible to disease, and the greater the weakness, the more
intense the symptoms. The digestive tract is controlled by the involuntary
muscles. We need, then, to find a way to bring these muscles and organs
under our control. We need to force the stomach, intestines and colon to
move, to work so they may be strengthened. Normally, when we breathe,
the lungs tend to expand outward toward the chest. The Crane Exercise,
however, forces the lungs downward, and because the intestines have
nowhere to go, they are pressed outward against the abdominal muscles to
form a little ball. This motion breaks up constipation, encourages absorp
tion of nutrients. and strengthens the entire digestive tract while stimulating
the lungs and circulatory system. In this way, invading germs do not have a
good environment in which to settle and germina te because one's bowel
movem ents are so strong and regular. Then it is not easy to get diseases. The
Crane also increases the circulation to the abdominal organs and muscles.
Thus, it can reduce cholesterol and fat accumulation. The pose also helps
asthma through its effects on the lungs, and because the lungs and skin
work together as a unit, the pose can help skin disorders such as rashes and
sores.
Poor breathing habits are a major cause of weakne ss and disease in the
body. One tends to breathe using only the upper half of the lungs and only
rarely does one utilize the lower portion of the lungs. (Autopsies have
102 Th� Internal Exercises
sometimes shown that the middle and lower lobes of the lungs have never
even been used. They are either like new or atrophied.) The stale air that
remains in the lower areas of the lungs and the wann moisture which
accompan ies the stale air provide the conditions necessary for germs to
flourish. Also, the air we breathe contains Chi, or energy, in addition to
oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, etc. We depend on the air we breathe not only to
give us oxygen. which is necessary for our metabolism, but also to provide
us with energy, the electrical charge without which we will quickly weaken
and die. Poor breathing habits also encompass fast breathing. Such breath
ing is violent, and it damages the delicate membranes and increases the rate
of the heart beat. It also prevents us from getting the necessary nourishment
for the air we inhale. Any nu mber of problems, such as disease, headache,
indigestion, dizziness, poor blood circulation, and aging can arise. (The
aging process is hastened when the heart rate increases. The rate goes up as
stress and tension mount. Later, signs of age show up on the face as stress
and tension effectively choke cell nourishment.)
We want, therefore, to correct poor breathing habits. Slow diaphrag
matic breathing, as taught in the Crane, allows for full expansion of the
lungs and full absorption of energy from the air intake, all the while
exercising the lungs and gently massaging the internal organs. The Crane
also encourages us to improve our circulation and lower the heart rate at the
same time. (The ideal rate is 45 beats/minute, the rate the heart sinks down
to during sleep.)
In sum, the Crane Exercise is designed to strengthen the organs within
the trunk of the body. Even though these organs are controlled by the
autonom ic, or involuntary, nervous system, the Crane enables us to bal
ance the energy and thereby promote a smoother functioning of these
organs.
INSTR UC TIONS FOR THE CRANE EXERC ISE
This pose may be practiced while standin g, sitting, or while lying down
on your back.
I. Begin by rubbing the palms of your hands together vigorously.
This creates heat in your hands and brings the energy of your body
into your palms and fingers.

	Important	Functions	of	Real	Salt	in	the	Body

•	Stabilizes	irregular	heartbeat	and	regulates	blood	pressure—in	conjunction

•	Extracts	excess	acidity	from	the	cells	in	the	body,	particularly	the	brain	cells
•	Balances	sugar	levels	in	the	blood,	which	is	particularly	important	for	diabetics
•	Is	essential	for	the	generation	of	hydroelectric	energy	in	the	cells	of	the	body
•	Is	vital	for	the	absorption	of	nutrient	components	through	the	intestinal	tract
•	Is	needed	to	clear	the	lungs	of	mucus	and	sticky	phlegm,	particularly	in	those

13.	The	Importance	of	Ener-Chi	Art

Ener-Chi	Art
	is	a	unique	method	of	rejuvenation	that	helps	restore	a	balanced	flow	of	chi
(vital	energy)	through	the	organs	and	systems	in	the	body,	within	less	than	one	minute.	I
consider	this	healing	approach	to	be	a	profound	tool	in	facilitating	a	more	successful
outcome	to	all	other	natural	healing	methods.	When	chi	flows	properly	through	the	cells	of
the	body,	the	cells	can	more	efficiently	remove	their	metabolic	waste	products;	more
readily	absorb	all	the	oxygen,	water,	and	nutrients	they	need;	and	conduct	any	necessary
repair	work	more	swiftly.	The	body	can	restore	its	health	and	vitality	much	more	easily
when	there	is	constant,	unrestricted	availability	of	chi.	Although	I	consider	the	liver
cleanse	to	be	one	of	the	most	effective	tools	to	help	the	body	return	to	balanced
functioning,	by	itself	it	may	not	be	able	to	restore	the	body’s	overall	vital	energy,	as	aresult	of	many	years	of	congestion	and	deterioration.	Test	results	have	shown	that
Ener-
Chi	Art
	may	very	well	fill	this	gap.

The	use	of

	is	another	practical	and	effective	tool	to	improve
one’s	health	and	vitality.	(For	more	information	on

14.	Getting	Enough	Sleep

Tiredness	precedes	any	type	of	disease,	whether	it	is	cancer,	heart	disease,	or	AIDS.
Although	impaired	liver	functions,	low	immunity,	and	overeating	can	also	cause	fatigue,
in	most	cases	it	results	from	a	lack	of	quality	sleep,	that	is,	the	sleep	before	midnight.

Some	of	the	most	vital	processes	of	purification	and	rejuvenation	in	the	body	are
initiated	and	carried	out	during	the	two	hours	of	sleep	before	midnight.	Physiologically,
there	are	two	entirely	different	types	of	sleep,	as	verified	by	brain	wave	measurements.
These	are
before-midnight	sleep
	and
after-midnight	sleep.
	Sleep	that	occurs	in	the	two
hours	before	midnight	includes	deep	sleep	and	it	is	often	referred	to	as	“beauty	sleep.”
Deep	sleep	occurs	for	about	one	hour	and	generally	lasts	from	11	p.m.	to	midnight.	During
deep	sleep,	you	are	in	a	dreamless	state	of	consciousness	where	oxygen	consumption	in
the	body	drops	by	about	8	percent.	The	rest	and	relaxation	that	you	gain	during	this	hour
of	dreamless	sleep	is	nearly	three	times	as	deep	as	you	would	get	from	the	same	amount	of
sleep	after	midnight	(when	oxygen	consumption	in	the	body	rises	again).

Deep	sleep	hardly	ever	occurs	after	midnight.	You	experience	deep	sleep	only	if	you	go
to	sleep	at	least	two	hours	before	midnight.	If	you	regularly	miss	out	on	deep	sleep,	your
body	and	mind	become	overtired	and	your	stress	responses	become	unnaturally	high.
Stress	responses	include	secretions	of	the	stress	hormones
adrenaline,	cortisol,
	and
cholesterol.
	(A	part	of	the	cholesterol	secreted	during	a	stress	response	may	end	up	as
gallstones.)	To	keep	these	artificially	derived	energy	bursts	going,	you	may	feel	the	urge	to
use	such	nerve	stimulants	as	cigarettes,	coffee,	tea,	candy,	colas,	or	alcohol.	When	the
body’s	energy	reserves	are	finally	exhausted,	chronic	fatigue	results.

When	you	feel	tired,	all	of	your	body’s	cells	are	tired,	not	just	your	mind.	In	fact,	your
organs,	digestive	system,	nervous	system,	and	the	like	will	also	suffer	from	a	lack	of
energy	and	will	not	be	able	to	function	properly.	When	you	are	tired,	your	brain	no	longer
receives	adequate	amounts	of	water,	glucose,	oxygen,	and	amino	acids,	which	make	up	its
main	food	supply.	This	situation	can	lead	to	innumerable	problems	in	your	mind,	body,
and	behavior.
	Doctors	at	the	University	of	California-San	Diego	have	found	that	losing	a	few	hours	of
sleep	not	only	makes	you	feel	tired	the	next	day,	but	also	can	affect	the	immune	system,
possibly	impairing	the	body’s	ability	to	fight	infection.	Since	immunity	diminishes	with
increasing	fatigue,	your	body	is	unable	to	defend	itself	against	bacteria,	microbes,	and
viruses	and	cannot	cope	with	the	buildup	of	toxic	substances	in	the	body.	Getting	enough
sleep,	therefore,	is	the	most	important	prerequisite	for	restoring	health	to	the	body	and
mind.	Try	to	go	to	sleep	before	10	p.m.	and	to	rise	between	6	and	7	a.m.,	or	earlier,
depending	on	your	sleep	requirements.	It	is	best	not	to	use	an	alarm	clock,	to	allow	for	a
natural	phasing	out	of	your	sleeping	cycles.	Removing	all	gallstones	from	the	liver	and

 Check out this list of deﬁciency symptoms to see if you are lacking in some nutrients.
Eye, hair, nail, mouth and skin symptoms are among the early outward warning signs of vitamin and mineral deﬁciencies. The
following compilations may help in diagnosing and treating these deﬁciencies. However, increased metabolic requirements for
indicated deﬁciencies may persist for a long time after the outward symptoms have disappeared. Many listed symptoms may also be
caused or aggravated by allergies and problems with the blood sugar and fat metabolism.
The right-hand column gives the primary deﬁciencies ﬁrst, additional treatment or cause is given in parentheses. For each condition
only the more prominent nutrients are mentioned. However, all the typical nutrients should be supplied in increased amounts in the
treatment of all conditions.

 body is able to clear the
damaged myelin  sheaths, which insulate the nerves so that they can carry
electrical messages to the brain and back. Clearing the damaged
“insulation” may cause a temporary worsening of the symptoms,
frightening the Gerson patient. However, if one persists and stays with the
treatment, the body will restore and heal these sheaths, resulting  in ultimate
full recovery.
Warning: MS is “assumed” to be an “auto-immune” disease. Namely, it is
felt that the body’s own immune system is destroying the myelin sheaths.
With that assumption and with no other treatment choice, orthodox
medicine often treats victims of MS with immune-suppressants, such as
cancer chemotherapy. After such treatments, the Gerson Therapy is not
easily effective. Also, such patients are often treated for long periods of
time with prednisone. This, too, holds back recovery by the Gerson
Therapy.
OSTEOAR THRITIS
More commonly occurring and less quickly debilitating than rheumatoid
arthritis, osteoar thritis is usually found in older people. It’s due to a slowly
deteriorating process in the joints, and it arises from the same underlying
damage caused by excess proteins which the body is unable to assimilate
and the kidneys cannot excrete. However, osteoarthritis is not accompanied
by the inflammatory process, so it’s slow to cause joint damage and
destruction. The disease is fairly  common to observe as hard, bony lumps in
the index finger, the little finger, or in almost any of the joints in the hands
and toes. Osteoarthritis eventually lodges in the lar ger joints as well.
Both types of arthritis—osteo- and rheumatoid—are theorized to be
genetically related. There is good reason to support this theory, since in
either case we have to remem ber that the body is unable to handle theoverload of animal proteins. This would presume a weakened pancreas,
unable to generate the necessary proteolytic enzymes. The tendency to a
weak pancreas could well be inherited.
But there is another point to consider. When a disease runs in the family,
we have to remember that the family members are likely to eat the same
foods. Not only that, but the daughters will again eat the foods they have
learned to prepare from their mothers. In this way, the same type of diet will
be carried on through the family and into the next generation.
At the Gerson Institute, we had an interesting illustration of this situation.
A vivacious woman named Lillian Stomatis, aged about fifty-five, arrived
at the Gerson Therapy hospital to find relief for her rheumatoid arthritis.
Her right knee was very swollen and so painful that she was unable to help
herself. In order to manage at the hospital, she brought her daughter Rosalie
along to help her walk to the bathroom, dress, and perform other personal
tasks.
The daughter, an attractive young woman, was twenty-eight years old
and already clearly showed the beginning symptoms of arthritis. Still more
unfortunate, Rosalie had brought along her own daughter, a pretty little girl
in pigtai ls, aged five, who alread y had the first symptoms of arthritis! So we
see that the degenerative chang es of arthritis set in earlier and earlier in
each generation.
The older people still have somewhat better reserves and are less
damaged by the toxins in the air, water, soil, and daily food and newer
drugs. The youn ger people are getting more and more used to taking drugs
for pain, discomfort, sleeplessne ss, low energy, and worse. This drug taking
causes more rapid deterioration.  Moreover, in very young child ren, there is
always the additional problem of vaccination.
There has been a great deal of evidence, as described by Robert A.
Mendelsohn, M.D., former head of the American Pediatric Society and
chief of a large pediatric hospital in Chicago before his death, that damage
to young  children has been caused by vaccination. In many children, the
introduction of attenuated germ s or viruses is sufficient to cause severe
damage, brain dysfunction, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Dr.
Mendelsohn’ s warnings and writings were violently disputed by orthodox
medicine, but the fact remains that a large number of children became
brain-damaged owing to vaccinations. The other disease effects were more
difficult to prove. But we have to ask again about the underlying problem ofvaccinating against disease: What does vaccination do to cause disease
rather than prevent it? Toxins introduced into the body and not completely
excreted can cause enzyme inhibition. When particular enzymes are
blocked or inhibited, certain nutrients are improperly digested and excreted.
And that is where disease begins.
An eighty-two-year -old physician, H. R. Feinstein, M.D., of Los
Angeles, was seen at the Gerson Therapy hospital mainly because he
suffered from rather severe osteoarthritis pain in his hip and other doctors
had urged him to submit to a hip replacement operation. He refused and
came into the Gerson program instead. However, he had other problems.
This physician maintained himself on medication for high blood pressure,
had a blood cholesterol count of over 300 (up to 200 is normal), and
suffered from a severe loss of hearing. Dr. Feinstein brought his wife along,
who also suffered from arthriti s, but her problem was rheum atoid rather
than osteoarthritis. She too was victimized by a high cholesterol count.
The doctor was amazed that his cholesterol count came down by over
100 points in one week. Then he was able to reduce his high blood pressure
medication. Toward the end of their second week at the hospital, the
Feinstein’ s son was in a serious auto accident, and the father was,
understandably, very anxious and nervous. Just to be sure, he took an extra
dose of blood pressure medication and promptly had a fainting episode. The
Gerson physicians at the hospital were worried since this man, after all, was
eighty-two years old. So the physicians took emer gency measures. But they
found that Dr. Feinstein’ s blood pressure was simply too low from his
having popped down the medication.
As time passed and the hyperten sion medication left his bloodstream, he
became normal again and was perfectly fine. By the end of the third week at
the hospital, the patient’ s hearing had vastly improved, and his blood
pressure remained normal without medication.
The pain in Dr. Feinstein’ s hip disappeared, and his osteoarthriti s stopped
bothering him. Of course, his hip did not heal completely, but from an X-
ray exam ination he could see that the healing process had started and the
friction was down, eliminating the pain. In his wife’ s case, her swollen
finger, too, was improved, but due to her rushing off to her son’s side, Mrs.
Feinstein’ s treatment was interrupted and her results were not as dramatic.
Another patient with osteoarthritis, Mrs. Marion Sands, a librarian aged
sixty-one, arrived at the Gerson Tijuana hospital with extremely deformedknuckles and fingers. She wore  a leather shaping form to hold her fingers
aligned in a normal position. She went through a three-week program and
went home with knowledge to help herself. After some two years on the
Gerson Therapy, at home, her hands became almost normal. The fingers
were straight and her muscles were restored so that she was able to use her
hands fairly well thereafter, never again needing any kind of leather brace.
As mentioned before, patients suffering from osteoarthritis have long-
term, deep damage, and it takes a good deal of time and ongoing adherence
to the Gerson Therapy to slowly restore the bones and muscles. But the
important thing  is that it can be done if the patient has enough
determination and will stay long enough with this demanding and rather
restrictive nutritional therapy.
OSTEOPOROSIS
In osteo porosis, patients suffer from decalcification of the bones. The
presence of that problem tends to produce a reaction from the average
allopathic physic ian. More often than not, he or she tells the patient to drink
plenty of milk (for calcium). Unfortunately, this is a simplistic and incorrect
approach to the problem.
First of all, we must remember that excess protein as in milk causes the
disease in the first place. Second, we have seen in Pottenger ’s classic book
Cats, a Study in Nutri tion,8 that heat-damaged, pasteurized milk or cooked
milk products are not absorbed without the live enzymes and do no good at
all, only harm. Using calcium supplementation doesn’ t work, either.
Calcium tablets are not well assimilated. Calcium has to enter the body in
the proper combination, together with active, live enzymes that we find in
carrot juice, juice from green salad leaves, and a great deal of fresh lettuce.
In those fresh organically grown foods, the body receives not
pharmaceutical calcium but the complete mineral nutrients aside from
calcium: magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, potassium, iodine, and
many more together with the active enzymes to allow the body to assimilate
these minerals and lodge them in the bones. In this manner, the Gerson
Therapy not only alleviates calcium deficiency

OceanofPDF.comThe Crucified World
We are living in a crucified world, humanity hanging on a cross of our
own making. With our attachment to the illusions of separation, our mental
imprisonment by thoughts of fear, our constant attacks on ourselves and
each other, our planet is teetering on the brink of destruction.
The message of the crucifixion is that this need not be. Childr en don’t
have to be committing suici de in an effort to escape the pain of
adolescence; people don’t have  to be drowning themselves in drugs and
alcohol to avoid the pain of surviving; countries don’t need to be spending
more of their resources on ways to kill each other than on ways to heal each
other; and the health of the planet doesn’ t have to decline precipitously
under the weight of our greed and exploitation. None of this need be.
It is our mindset, our worldview, our thought system that has created the
hell we’re enduring and that so threatens our future. But for the world to
change, we must be willing to change. We must be willing to put everything
on the altar; all that we are, all that we have, and all that we do must be
brought up for review. We cannot bring the light to the darkne ss; we must
bring our darkness to the light.
If we remain the same, then so will the world. And the world is moving
in a direction that does not produce hope. Hope is born of hopef ul solutions,
and the only real hopeful solution is that we be willing to love each other as
God so loves us.
As we do, a field of possibility will open up before us—miraculous in
scope, historic in nature, summing up all the hopes and all the dreams of a
world that now seems so bound.
OceanofPDF.comChapter Five
Resurrection
Very simply, the resurr ection is the overcoming or surmounting of death. It is a reawakening or
a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of the world. It is the acceptance of the Holy
Spirit’ s interpretation of the world’ s purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. It is
the end of dreams of misery, and the glad awar eness of the Holy Spirit’ s final dream. It is the
recognition of the gifts of God. It is the dream in which the body functions perfectly, having no
function except communication. It is the lesson in which learning ends, for it is consummated
and surpassed with this. It is the invitation to God to take His final step. It is the relinquishment
of all other purposes, all other interests, all other wishes and all other concerns. It is the single
desir e of the Son for the Father.* (MT -68)
AT THIS HIST ORIC time of phase transition, an entire era of human history is
passing away. What this period will be replaced by is complete ly up to us:
things will either get very dark or very light. Accumulated layers of fear—
evidenced politically, economically, and socially—have now reached a
point where they will destroy us if we do not intervene on our own behalf.
While free will is always operative, there is a limit beyond which our
wrong-minded attitudes and behavior simply become unworkable. We are
called upon now to be both death doulas to a world that is no longer
working and birth doulas to a world that is struggling to be born. Nothing
less than fundamental pattern disruption will lead to a sustainable future.
Many are diagnosed today with an “anxiety disorder.” An anxiety
disorder isn’t just an individual’ s diagnosis, however; it’s the state of the
world today. Looking at this only as an individual’ s problem distracts us
from the larger issue of spiritual suffering, not just on the part of an
individual but on the part of our society.
All of us are influenced by the fear-based thinking of the world, but
seeing ourselves as victims of it only perpetuates the insanity. The world issaturated by the ego’s malignant mentality, and without the medicine of
spiritual understanding, it easily crawls into our psyche.
There’ s nothing new there. We know what the ego has to say; now it’s
time for the ego to hear what we have to say. Crucifixion allud es to our
madness, and the resurrection is the return of sanity. It is a change of heart
among us so powerful that the world itself will be transformed.
The world we live in today is an anxiety disorder, for the very reason
that love does not guide the world. It is not the organizing principle for our
civilization. The ego’s thought system is allowed to run roughsh od over the
human heart, a constant generator of fear and anxiety, and the only solution
to the problem is the dismantling of this thought system. Jesus  is a model
for and guide to right-minded thinking, sending ego thoughts back to the
nothingness whence they came.
I have asked audiences around the country if anyone in the room had
either said, or heard a young person say, that under normal circumstances
they would consider having children but that the state of the world today
makes them hesitate. In every audience, a significant numbe r of people
raised their hand. This should not be considered normal. Perhaps if we face
the malfunction ing of the world we have made for ourselves, we might
consider whether God has a better way.
Millions of people, perhaps more, have held Jesus at bay because of the
traditional religious constructs that have grown up around him. But as we
take an evolutio nary stride toward an enlightened view of the world, we are
beginning to see him with new eyes. His resurrection is not just some
theological dogma. It is the activation of new life within us.
The mind when unaligned with God is the cause of all suffering; the
mind when aligned with Him is the cause of suffering’ s end. Jesus is a
portal to a field of unspeakable love and power. Yet the portal means
nothing if we don’t walk throug h it. The aspiration of the miracle worker is
to lift our consciousness so close to God’ s that we become masters, not
slaves, of the mortal world.
We gaze into the eyes of Jesus that he might show us another world.
OceanofPDF.comThe Alchemy of Easter
Such is your resurr ection, for your life is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the
body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself.* (WB-279)
The meaning of Easter is what happens in any moment when love and
forgiveness overcome the fear -laden powers of the world.
There’ s an obvious intensification on the planet now of both darkness
and light, both forces of planeta ry destruction and planetary enlightenment.
The question of how to break the chain of darkness could not be more
relevant than it is today. Environmental degradation, rising
authoritarianism, and endless war are the stuff of our collective crucifixion.
The air is so saturated with toxicity now that our minds, our bodies, our
entire civilization is feeling the dis-ease. Even those of faith, of serious and
committed spiritual practice, are having to work overtime to keep a
creeping despair at bay.
Humanity can’t stop the madn ess, because humanity is the madness.
What is needed on the planet now is a collective resurrection, a divine
intercession from a thought system beyond our own.
So what will happen now? Will darkness and fear, or light and love, win
the struggle for the future? If we simply give up and surrender, darkness
most certainly will win. But if we stand up and fight back, then darkness
might also win. As long as we fight, then we’re stuck in the fight. Is there
any other option?
Interestingly enough, yes. The other option is resurrection, the evolution
of the human race.
This isn’t just about Jesus; it’s about us. Resurrection two thousand
years ago was an overcoming by one man; resurrection today is an
overcoming by each of us, and by the entire species. We ourselves must
become the change, and that is the resurrecti on. God cannot do for us that
which He cannot do through us. We must be willing to be reborn into ahigher version of ourselves if we’re to achieve the miracle of planetary
transformation. The world as it now exists is a reflection of who we have
been; the world of the future will reflect who we choose to become. We can
have the overcoming, but not if we hang on to the cross.
Whether it be our attachment to the past, or to our addictions, or to our
judgments, or to our victimizatio n, or to our violent behavior—w e can have
those, or we can have a survivable future. Only if we work to rid the
darkness from our own hearts can we become the condu


 e r
G od knows our crooked places that need to be made straigh t, the
wounds in our h earts that fester for years unhealed, the broken pieces of
our lives  that seem beyond repa ir. And He who is the author of  miracles
has infinite desire as well as power to heal them all.
At a certain point, it doesn’ t rea lly matter so much how we got to be
a c ertain way. Until we admit our cha racter defects—and t ake
responsibility for the fact that regardless of where we got them, they ar e
ours now —God H imself has no power t o heal them. W e can talk to a
therapist for hours about how our relationship with Mom or Dad made us
develop a certain behavioral c haracteristic, but that of itself will not
make it go away. Naming it, surrendering it to God, and askin g Him to
remove it— that’ s  the miracle of personal transformation. It won’ t go
away in a mome nt, necessarily, but its days are numbered. The medicine
is in your psychic bloodstream.DA Y 6

W hile the appearances of the three-dimensional world would deceive
me into the false belief that there are powers more powerful than  the will
of God, in fact only love is the  kingdom, the power, and the glory. My
physical senses are useful tools,  but they are not the arbiters of  ultimate
truth. Only the love in my heart is the knower of all things.
The world has trained me to believe in the illusions of fear  and
separation, and to disbelieve in the truth that lies beyond them. T oday I
make a stand f or truth, as I extend my perceptions beyond what my
senses reveal to me, to what I know to be true in my heart. I commit to
the realization that only love is real, and I recognize the ultimate
nonexistence of anything else. This way I gain the power of a miracle-
worker, a channel for God in His will that only love prevail.
No m atter what situation I am in  today, I will r emember that only
love is r eal. I will not be waylaid by false appearances. When I
cannot find my way to true vision, I pray to be r eminded that
false ap pearances ar e powerles s befor e the will of God. I pray
that my inner eye be opened to the love within all things.DA Y 7

that He works through me. Ma y I be used for a higher purp ose, as I

assigned me to help heal the world.

I ext end my perception beyond what my senses perceive, to what my

 officer of the law said to me sneeringly, "We cannot keep you
from worshipping the Lord as you see fit, but we can harass you 'til you wish you never had." In harassing me they really do not harass me

I have seen the wrath of God come upon approximately 50 people.
God blotted them out like you and I would a cockroach. When the adult saints are being persecuted, they do not hate the persecutor, they feel very sorry for him. They know exactly how to get even with their persecutors. They put their name on the top of their prayer list and there is no way for that person to get off. They pray for them without ceasing. They pray for them that God might do for them what He did for Saul on the road to Damascus. That He might reveal Himself to
them so that the person that was once their enemy could be their friend and could go into eternity and live forever as a friend.
The devil numbers his children by hate, but God numbers His
children by love. God the Father is love. The Holy Spirit is love. The real saints of God are love. True love is a life of service. It is a life of enduring. It is a life of being a servant whether appreciated or not. 151 I am now a senior citizen. My children are an grown. They are an
self-supporting. However, there are times when they do need guid-
ance, or suggestions for guidance, and they ask for it. But they could very well get along without me.
I am now financially independent enough that I do not have to do
this work for my daily bread. I served 38 years in agricultural engi-neering and it was through that that God was good enough to make it possible for my retirement in 1968. I wanted to go into research to know more about the mysteries about the laws that God has made.
God began to send to me for help the ill, the cripple the lame, the
dying, that medicine had failed to cure. The Bible says, If your neigh-bor asks for help, give it to him and as often as "you do it unto the least of one of these my brethren, you do it unto Me."
I have made many errors and many mistakes, but they are mis-
takes of the mind and not mistakes of the heart. God has turned these mistakes into blessings.
I am now teaching this Reams Biological Theory of Ionization
seminars to qualified people, in order to help carry out this vision of making America the healthiest nation on earth...
knowing that the history of American liberty is written in blood!
  152 CHAPTER 21
THE GREATEST LOVE OF MY LIFE

You must be born again. Today I died. I cried until I laughed and laughed until I cried and
cried until I laughed, with joy!... because I had left my sardine-can world for a universe. I had left my sinful ways and God had permitted me to be born again into His Kingdom.
This was no laughing matter at first; I was sorry for my sins. My
heart was broken, I was filled with grief, and then the Holy Spirit came in and took away all the grief! I don't know what He did with it, but it's gone. It's gone... and now I am free!
God is truth. The Scripture says, Seek to know God, and "He shall
make you free," and this is what I was weeping about, because a new life had begun. I was only an infant, ye t an adult in years, but a babe
in Christ. No wonder I cried... because of the joys I had missed, of the liberty and the freedom that I had spurned. The things that I had once loved, I had no more desire for. The things that I once had no desire far, became as a beautiful garden of flowers. The ecstasy of the Spirit of God within me was like looking into  the face of a lily or an orchid,
or being lifted on the wings of a hummingbird. I was truly partaking of, I was suckling on the manna from Heaven, and drinking from a fountain that would never run dry.
The book I had so often read as a history book became a message
from home. It became a guide, it became a map. It showed me where I was in life. It showed me where I wanted to go, and I then used that map. I still use it and it is like honey in the honeycomb.
It is nourishing. It is surprisingly lasting in its joy. It is a history book. It is a physics book. It is a mathematics book. It is a religious book. It is a book of law. 153 It is a book of domestic tranquility.
It is a book of health.
It is a cook book. It is a book of fiction. It is a book of truth, divine truths. It is a book of heroism. It is a book for youth, for teenagers, for young married couples
and business men and business women.
It is a book for executives, business managers. It is a book for school teachers, telling how to teach and what to
teach.
It is a book of disappointment, of grief, of sins of the people. It is a book about farming, gardening, transportation, seamanship,
vessels, boats, trees, forestry, fish, birds, beetles and bugs.
It is also a book of geography. It is a book about astronomy, about the creation, the formation. It is a book that no man has ever yet understood all about. It is a book about construction, about building of temples. It is a book about psychology and how to win friends and influ-
ence people.
It also tells us how to do architecture, and why the Tower of Babel
fell (because of the poor architecture that was in it).
It tells about what would happen when we disobey the law. It tells us about the rewards after this life. It tells us about God. It tells us about His Son, Jesus Christ. It is the first and only book that ever told us anything about Him.
The rest are just counterfeits or duplicates of it.
It tells us prophecy and predicts the future. It is clairvoyant in the fact that the clairvoyancy is the supremacy
of God.
It is the finest book on astrology that was ever written. Instead of asking the stars what the future holds, it tells us how to
go to the Father himself and get the information firsthand instead of secondhand. 154 It is a book of stories, mistakes, heartbreaks, rejoicings.
It is the story of humanities.
The Bible, the Book of ALL books, the only lasting book, tells
about man's ways and how they differ from God's ways, and how God's ways can be in man and how man's ways can be God's ways.
It is a book that I highly recommend to be read. It is a book that tells us about wisdom. It tells about knowledge. It teaches anyone how to be rich, infinitely rich. It teaches anyone how to be obedient. It teaches how to be a servant, how to be a workman that needs
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
It teaches us how to defend ourselves. It tells us what to do in time of trouble. It tells us what to do in time of peace. It tells us what to do in time of war. It tells us how to prepare for the great tribulation. It tells us about the destruction of the great cities in a day of the
atomic bomb.
It tells us about a King who is going to rule this whole earth. Many men have tried to become the rulers of the whole earth; all
have failed! but this new King who is coming, He is going to be the King of this planet as well as the universe. There are souls that are so small, that are limited to this univer se and to this planet, but there are
going to be souls that are not limited to  this planet or this galaxy. They
are going to be able to be sent on missions, and shall travel faster than the speed of electricity or the speed of light.
This book also tells us of, or predicts the use of drugs. It predicts
the fall of churches. It predicts that some men will be lost.
It is the greatest book I have ever read. I don't use it; I memorize
it! I carry it with me and I mark it. I leave something to show that this passage has blessed me, and I hope it blesses you.
I recommend this book because it has given me life anew, and it
did something that no other book has ever done. It showed me that I did not have to die to go to Heaven, that I am there already, but one 155 day I shall be promoted to glory. This cationic body will be trans-
formed into an anionic body. This raiment that I have on will be
burned to a crisp, and I will be clothed in light.
I will be clean, perfect again. I will be made young again, and I
will never grow old. This book called the Bible did all of this for me. If it did it for me, and I am nothing, what can it do for you?
The Bible has taught me how to cleanse the temple. It taught me how
