ationship, this attitude of separation and potential manipulation creates a
barrier between you and the power of intention. The signs of unholy
relationships are quite clear: People become defensive, fearful, hostile,
standoffish, and don’t wish to be in your company. As you change your thought patterns to raise your energy vibrations, and
reduce the demands of your ego, you’ll begin developing a reverent or holy
relationship with others. Then everyone is perceived as complete. When
you can celebrate differences in others as interesting or enjoyable, you’re
loosening your identity with ego. The holy relationship is a way of
matching up with the universal Source of Creation and being peacefully
joyful. Any relationship—or even an encounter—from the holy perspective,
is a coming together with a beloved self-aspect and discovering a
stimulating connection with the power of intention. Recently, in a supermarket, I asked a frenzied clerk behind the seafood
counter if he knew where I could find the smoked salmon. I saw myself as
connected to him in spite of the frustration showing through his behavior. A
man standing next to me heard my request and saw the clerk’s harried
demeanor. The stranger smiled at me and went to another area of the store,
returning with a package of nova lox, which he handed me. He delivered to
me what I was seeking! A coincidence? I think not. When I feel myself
connected to others and radiate the energy of holy relationship, people react
with kindness and go out of their way to assist me with my intentions. In another example of this, I was transferred from one airline to another
because of a mechanical problem that resulted in a cancellation. At my
original airline, which is in my hometown, the employees know me and go
out of their way to assist me. I’ve practiced holy relationships with
everyone at the counter, at baggage check-in, on the plane, and so on. On
this particular day, I was sent to the other end of the airport with seven
boxes of books and tapes that had to be checked as baggage. As my
assistant, Maya, and I trudged up to the counter of the other airline, pushing
a cart with luggage and seven heavy boxes, the passenger agent announced
that her airline did not permit more than two pieces of luggage to be
checked in, and that I would have to leave three of the boxes behind. I could
check in two for me and two for Maya. Those are the rules.Here’s where a holy relationship with a stranger has more potential for
assisting you with your intentions than an unholy relationship. Rather than
countering the agent with an intention that she was a clerk whose job it was
to serve my needs, I chose to join her where we both are one. I let her know
that I wasn’t even mildly upset over this rule, and I imagined how she must
feel, having to process a large number of people who weren’t scheduled on
this flight. I felt connected, and expressed my own feelings of frustration at
having this challenge of what to do with these three extra boxes, which my
originally scheduled airline had agreed to transport. I invited her to attend a
lecture I was giving in town the next month, as my guest. Our entire
conversation and the entire interaction was guided by my private intent that
this remain a holy relationship. The energy of this interaction shifted from weak to strong. We bonded,
recognized our self in the other, and she checked in all of my boxes with a
cheerful smile. I’ve never forgotten what she said to me as she handed me
our boarding passes. “When you wheeled up that cart with all those boxes, I
was determined that you weren’t going to get them on that plane, and after a
few moments of being with you, I would’ve carried them out and put them
on the plane myself if I had to. It’s a pleasure to know you. Thank you for
your business, and I hope you’ll consider our airline in the future.”
These are two simple examples of what happens when you consciously
shift from ego-dominated unholy relationships, to experiencing your
connectedness through the power of intention. I urge you to establish a holy
relationship with your Source, the world community, your neighbors,
acquaintances, family, the animal kingdom, our planet, and yourself. Just as
in my examples of the man in the store delivering me the smoked salmon I
was looking for, and the airline agent assisting me in realizing my intent,
you’ll enjoy the power of intention through holy relationships. It’s all about
relationship. Alone We Can Do Nothing
When you meet anyone, treat the event as a holy encounter. It’s through
others that we either find or love our self. For you see, nothing is
accomplished without others. A Course in Miracles says this so well:Alone we can do nothing,
But together our minds fuse into something
Whose power is far beyond
The power of its separate parts. The kingdom cannot be found alone,
And you who are the kingdom
Cannot find yourself alone. When you eliminate the concept of separation from your thoughts and
your behavior, you begin to feel your connection to everything and
everyone. You’ll begin having a sense of belonging, which enables you to
scoff at any thought of being separate. This feeling of connectedness
originates with and helps you process all of your interactions from the point
of view of equality. By recognizing others as co-creators, you match up
with your Source and move into a state of grace. If you’re seeing yourself
as either inferior or superior, you’ve disconnected from the power of
intention. Your desires will be frustrated unless you connect with and
support other people. How you interact with your universal support team is significant. How
you view others is a projection of how you view yourself. Consistently
seeing others as worthless means that you’re erecting a roadblock for your
potential allies. See others as weak, and you’re simultaneously attracting
weak energies. Persistently viewing others as dishonest, lazy, sinful, and so
on may mean that you need to feel superior. Constantly seeing others
critically can be a way of compensating for something you fear. But you
don’t even need to understand this psychological mechanism. All you have
to do is recognize how you view others. If there’s a pattern of seeing others
as failures, you only need to notice the pattern as evidence of what you’re
attracting into your life. It’s so important to see interactions as holy encounters, because this sets
in motion an attractor energy pattern. In a holy relationship, you attract the
collaboration of higher energies. In an unholy relationship, the attractor
pattern exists, too, attracting low energies and more unholy relationships.By bringing higher spiritual energy to everyone you encounter, you dissolve
lower energies. When the energies of kindness, love, receptivity, and
abundance are present in your relationships, you have brought the elixir of
spiritual Creation or the love of the Creator right into the mix. Now those
forces begin to work on everyone in your environment. The right people
magically appear. The right materials show up. The phone rings and
someone gives you the information you’ve been wanting for months. Strangers offer suggestions that make sense to you. As I mentioned earlier,
these types of coincidences are like mathematical angles that coincide, or fit
together perfectly. Treat others as co-creators and have divine expectations
for them. Don’t view anyone as ordinary, unless of course you wish to have
more of the ordinary manifest into your world. From Ordinary to Extraordinary
Leo Tolstoy’s famous story The Death of Ivan Ilyich, is one of my
favorite pieces of literature. Tolstoy describes Ivan Ilyich as a man who’s
motivated almost exclusively by the expectations of others, and isn’t able to
live out his own dreams. The opening line of Chapter 2 in this compelling
story goes like this: “The story of Ivan Ilyich’s life was of the simplest,
most ordinary and therefore most terrible.” Tolstoy actually defines living
an ordinary life as terrible. I couldn’t agree more! If your expectations for yourself center on being normal, just getting
along, fitting in, and being an ordinary person, you’ll resonate to ordinary
frequencies, and you’ll attract more of normal and ordinary into your life. Furthermore, your impact on others as potential allies in co-creating your
intentions will also revolve around ordinary. The power of intention occurs
when you’re synchronized with the all-creating universal force, which is
anything but ordinary. This is the power that’s responsible for all of
creation. It’s ever-expansive, and thinks and creates in terms of endless
abundance. When you shift to this higher energy and resonate more in
harmony with intention, you become a magnet for attracting more of this
energy into your world. You also have this kind of impact on everyone and
everything you’re in contact with. One of the most effective means for transcending ordinary and moving
into the realm of extraordinary is saying yes more frequently andeliminating no almost completely. I call it saying yes to life. Say yes to
yourself, to your family, your children, your coworkers, and your business. Ordinary says, No, I don’t think I can do it. No, that won’t work out. No,
I’ve tried that and it’s never worked before. No, that intention is impossible
for me. With the idea of no, you attract more of no, and your impact on
others whom you could help and on whom you could rely


 a reaction to dry air, not being able to stop coughing is simply
dreadful. They’re not just physically uncomfortable either. Nothing,
except perhaps crickets, makes a heavy silence more awkward than a
cough. There are two main kinds of coughs-dry and productive. A dry hacking
cough is just that-a dry hacking cough. A productive cough brings
up phlegm or mucous. If you have a productive cough, do not try to
suppress it, your body needs to get rid of any gunk in your lungs. That
being said the below remedies include solutions for both dry coughs
(suppressing them) and productive coughs (help loosen stuff up.) Brushed aside by big companies claiming that their products “wouldn’t
be so popular if they didn’t work” this study did not get the credit
it deserved. In 2010, a review of studies found there truly isn’t any
evidence over-the-counter cough medicine did anything-even ones with
ingredients like dextramoraphane or guafesenin. Those with codeine
had such trace amounts they would have no real effect (which makes
sense, since they’re selling it over the counter.) In 2008, the FDA put it out there that because there was no proof of
them actually working, and little research on side effects, cough syrup
should be avoided in children under the age of 4 years. The American
Academy of Pediatrics took this a step farther, saying to avoid use in
children less than 6 years. If they don’t necessarily do anything then, why do we spend so much
money on them? A lot of it is probably because people take comfort in
them-and don’t ever, ever, ever, underestimate the power of the placebo
effect. So if you don’t have to take them, why would you ever drink out
of that dreaded plastic cup again?Cough
Homemade Cough Syrup

61Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingThis cough syrup contains onions or garlic and white sugar, brown sugar, or honey. Sound delicious? No, but
sometimes it just can’t be avoided. In my opinion, this also tastes a heck of a lot better than the stuff sold in
stores. If you have a dry cough, honey is great for soothing itchy and irritated throats. It may also help fight off
any bacteria that could be causing your cough. The white/brown sugar serves as a substitute for honey if you
prefer it. Both onion and garlic strengthen the immune system, work as natural anti-biotics, anti-inflammatories,
and expectorants.Homemade Cough Syrup

then pour honey in a layer over it (or cover in a layer of sugar, if that’s
your sweetener of choice.) Continue to alternate layering the onion and
sweetener. 2. Cover tightly and let it sit overnight out on the counter, or for 8-12
hours. After it has sat out, there will now be liquid in the jar. Use a
spoonful as needed to control your cough, up to 3 spoonfuls an hour, if
needed. 3. If you are making this for little ones, use the onion instead of the
garlic, and the sugar instead of the honey. It will keep in the refrigerator
for up to 1 month. 62Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com CoughY ou will need… DirectionsLicorice root tea is a wonderful substance if you’re suffering from a cough. Its properties lend themselves to

happenings, including painful cramps. While they often diminish with
age or after child-birth, this isn’t always the case, and they can really
put a damper on your day. When the uterine lining begins to break
down, molecular compounds called prostaglandins are released. These
chemicals cause the muscles of the uterus to contract, which helps shed
the lining. These contractions are essentially a miniature version of labor
contractions-in fact prostaglandins are sometimes given in hospitals
to induce labor. The severity of the cramps may be related to varying
levels of prostaglandins in the uterine lining in women, with higher
levels increasing discomfort. Assuming that your cramps are normal and
benign, there are a few remedies you can pull from the cupboards and
spice rack to help ease the pain.Cramps
-Placing a hot water bottle or
heating pack over your lower
abdomen can help relax muscles
that are tight, or in spasm, and
reduce discomfort. -Exercise is the last thing you
want to do when you are hit
with cramps, but getting up and
moving can truly help relieve the
pain. -If you feel cramps in your back,
it could be because of the way
your uterus is tipped. If it is more
backwards than forwards, this
can contribute to the sensation of
back pain. -Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can contribute to the
production of a hormone called
vasopressin which constricts
blood vessels, and can make
cramps even more painful. 65Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingMint, either peppermint or wintergreen, is a common plant to turn to when it comes to easing stomach or
abdominal pain. It can also help with any gas or bloating that may be making you uncomfortable along with the
cramps. But why basil? It seems that basil works in a similar way to common painkillers, which interfere with
prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins are hormone like chemical messengers that affect a wide range of vital
processes in the body, including inflammation and the sensation of pain. Prostaglandins also affect the actual
act of contractions themselves. By reducing the amount of prostaglandins, you also reduce pain. Basil also
works very quickly, possibly because you can ingest it directly. Y ou can either eat a dozen basil leaves raw, or
make a tea with it and peppermint. Basil & Mint Tea
-1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil
leaves OR 2 teaspoons dried
-1/2 cup chopped fresh
peppermint leaves OR 2
teaspoons dried
-1 cup of boiling water1. Place the leaves at the bottom of a mug and boil 1 cup of fresh water. Pour directly over the leaves, cover, and steep for 10-15 minutes. Discard
the solids, or if they are fresh, eat them while drinking the tea. 66Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com CrampsY ou will need… DirectionsRed raspberry leaves are an incredibly well-kept secret, and they work a treat for cramps. They are probably a
woman’s best friend in terms of herbs, and also have many healing and beneficial properties during pregnancy
(although always consult a doctor or midwife before trying any herbs while pregnant.) It has a high concentration
of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and iron, which are all beneficial to the female reproductive system. It is
supposed to help strengthen and relax the uterus (although the exact mechanics of this are unknown.)


V pulses were applied
(pulse duration: O.S second). The distortions in the tracings
are C'dused by polarization of the electrodes. Initial deflec. lions were used to obtain a relative measure of resistivity. order at least 100 to ISO times higher than the
resistivity of saline solution, which in turn is known to
have roughly the same order of resistivity as blood
plasma, serum and interstitial fluid. b) Pulsed direct currem
Resistivity studies with direct current are of consider·
able interest, as this type of current represents electric
transports in vivo. Attempts were therefore made to
study resistivity of blood vessels with a technique
developed by Burger and van Milaan (8). In this way,
information on the resistance of walls of large vessels
in comparison to resistance of the intravascular con·
ducting medium, the plasma, should be possible to
obtain. As in determinations of resistivity with alternating
current, many sources of error can interfere in deter·
minations of resistivity with direct current. It is evi·
dent that an application of DC pulses will ionize the
test material and change its relative conductivity dur·
ing each pulse. The applied potential will furthermore
produce ionic separations, providing electromotive
forces in the opposite direction. This effect means that
the test current builds up a galvanic potential. When potential difference is constant within cer·
tain limits, the degree of i(mization is a dynamic event
which initially increases exponentially the actual flow
of current per unit time. This observation is well
known since julius Tafel (72). On prolonged applica·
tion of direct current, different counteracting reactions
will contribute to decelerate the current. Moreover,
the same technical difficulties are encountered in both
DC and AC determinatio ns of resistivity of a vessel
128 Biologically closed electric circuits wall, i.e., geometric measurements of specimens and
avoidance of injury to tissue. These experiments were performed in five dogs,
using the same rype of preparation of femoral vessels
and electrodes in glass tubes as was employed in the
determinatio ns of resistivity with alternating currents. A series of 10 DC pulses (0.. 5-1.0 sec duration each)
was applied over 25, 50, 100 and ISO mV through the
vessel wall in one direction and then in the opposite
direction. Polarizati on caused a dis·tortion of the measured
deflections of potential. It is therefore necessary to
define how the measuremen ts were obtained and the
results analyzed. Fig. XII: 13 shows tracings of measured currents
and potential differences through the vessel wall dur·
ing application of 50 and!50 m V potential pulses over
the current-supplying electrodes. The distortions of
these potentiAls arc in principle eaSy to undetStand,
despite the complicated nature of the underlying ki
netic events. For the actual measurements the high initial potcn·
tial and peaks of current have been used. In the well
known formula
I R=-·o A -
R = resistance, Q = specific resistance, I = length,
A = cross-sectional area. R is determined by the
simultaneous measurements of voltage drop and cur·
rent flow through the specimen. In these experime nts (as well as in determinations
with alternating current) no clear difference could be
observed when current was passed from outside to
inside or vice versa. Table XII: 5 presents the actual measureme nts and
calculated resistivities of a daog's femoral artery in siru. The resistivity of femoral veins was of the same
order of magnitude as that of the arteries (resistivity of
0.9% NaCI gave values of0.70 ohm·m at n•c). The
measured resistances to pulses of direct current
through the walls of the femoral artery and vein were
200 to 280 times higher in these experiments than in
those through 0.9% NaCI solution. Table XII: S. Resistivity de~trminatio11s of femoral artery of dog

a preferentia l electric
pathway in vessels and
tissues
The experiments on resistivity of "large" vessel walls
in relation to the relatively low resistivity of plasma
and interstitial IUuid indicate the possibility that elec
trochemical gradients in tissue may be levelled over
the proposed VICC (vascular-interstitial closed cir
cuit). If this hypothesis is correct, the vascular system
must be acknowledged to possess a previously unre
cognized function: the U.rge (i.e., macroscopic ) vessels
act as electrically.conducting, insulated cables. The vessel
walls thus insulate one branch of the conducting me
dia, the plasma. from its surroundings, except at its
transcapillary junctions with the other branch, the
interstitial fluid. This hypothesis of a conducting
VICC will now be tested in different ways. Consider an electric direct current, passing from the
interior of a vessel to a distant region of tissue. After a
sufficient quanti'ly of current has flowed, certain mor
phologic (and presumably functional ) changes should
develop in the preferential pathways for the current. Such changes appeared to be the actual case in experi-

A catheter was passed from a femoral vein or artery
into a pulmonary artery or the aorta, respectively, of
each of 15 anaesthetized dogs. Through the catheter an
aneriographic guidewire of stainless steel was passed,
and its tip positioned 5 t.o 10 em beyond the tip of the
catheter. This guidewire was used as a cathode. A
platinum string was used as an anode and placed
percutaneously either in the lung tissue ~ em from
the pulmonary arterial cathode, or in the shoulder
muscles or in an intraabdominal organ, 10 to 15 em
from the cathode in the aorta or inferior vena cava. Teo volts were applied between the electrodes and the
quantity of current was measured in coulombs. Insu
lating properties of the aortic wall could be demon
strated at I 0 volt potemial difference with doses of
current as large as I 700 coulombs. After the animal was sacrificed, the external wall of
the aorta (Fig. XII: 14a) was found to be oedematous
and brown-blac k within a 3 x 2 em area. The sped-
brown. (b) Inside the aorta, opened lengthwise. The brown
vasa vasorum were found to be a branchjng nerwork of twigs
all supplied by a single dark brown artery (arrow) arising
from the lumen of the aorta. The intraaortic cathode, which
had been lightly touching the intima, caused a small ridge
(white arrows) of focal oedema. This ridge passes close to the
dark artery, which seems to have-served as a preferential
pathway for the electric current. The media between the in
jured intima and adventitia was not substantially injured (see
Fig. XII: 16a). Biologically closed electric circuits 129 men was then opened by a longitudinal incision (Fig. Xll: 14b). It showed only minimal injury macroscopi
eally as a small ridge of oedema where the guidewire
cathOde had been in contact with the aonicwaU (white
arrows). This fmding is a clear discrepancy from the
widespread oedema and diseolouration of the external
aortic wall. A local dark spot (arrow) was also found,
rcprc:scnting the orifice of an artery. By dis>e<

 directs  me unerringly  in the Perfect  Thing  I should  do;
to have  the Greatest  Release  from  your  Mighty  Presence." Your  "Beloved  Mighty  I Am  Presence"  cannot  fail you! At this  point,  let Me assure  you  first,  the Most  Magnifi-
cent Activity  We have  ever  seen  on the face  of This  Earth,
has been  thru  these  Mighty  Decrees,  issued  by these  Beloved
Students  all over  America. I want  you  to know  how  very
great  they  are and how  powerful! You can  believe  it or not,  but I tell you,  your  Panama
Canal  would  not exist  today;  if it had not been  for the Call
of the students  thru  these  Decrees! Your  Eastern  Coast
from  Philadelphia  to Maine,  would  not have  been  there  to-
day, but for the Call  which  has enabled  Us to govern  the
energy  and  activity  in the gas belts. It is the same  on the
Western  Coast  of your  beloved  California. In San  Francisco,  when  the Messengers  were  there,  a
great  earth-quake  was  scheduled  to come  forth. This  Be-
loved  Messenger  went  there,  not telling  even  the Staff,  the
danger  from  the human  standpoint  which  they  were  going
into;  but having  Full  Confidence  in the Call  to the Presence 200 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
that it would  be governed,  and  it was! Then,  still  people
will continue  their  inharmony. The Release  and  Activity  of the Goddess  of Liberty  and
Myself  today,  together  with  Saint  Germain  and  the Other
Ascended  Masters  who  are assisting,  give  you  the Full
Feeling  of the Importance  of This  Great  Light;  and  the
Importance  of your  own  Decrees  for the Freedom,  Health,
Blessing  and  Supply  of everything  which  you  require. Think  of it! human  Beings  are living  in ill health,  limita-
tions  of every  description,  when  the Greatest  Intelligence
in the Universe  is beating  their  Hearts. They  are in those
conditions,  because  they  have  forgotten  the Presence  was
there. Dear  People,  if you  will  understand,  not in your  head,
but in your  feeling  that  your  Presence  is there;  and  It will
answer  your  Call  with  Its Resistless  Power  and Intelligence,
there  is not one thing,  you can ask,  which  will  not be yours,
if it be Constructive. Remember,  your  Higher  Mental  Body  which  stands  be-
tween  your  physical  body  and  your  God-Self,  is your  Dis-
criminating  Intelligence. Your  Higher  Mental  Body  will
not longer  release  Its Energy,  if you  are going  to use it
destructively. The  only  energy  which  is used  destructively,
is what  mankind  has already  accumulated  from  the past. You might  say to Me:  "Why  does  mankind  continue  to do
that"? Because  the  Energy  which  is All-powerful,  is
charged  into  the feeling  world. Sometimes  it is what  the
people  have  accumulated  from  previous  destructive  activ-DISCOURSE  VIII 201
itics;  and  they  can only  continue,  while  the energy  already
accumulated  lasts. When  it is gone,  they  cannot  gather  any
more. That  is what  is the matter  with  people  today,  who  have
been  powerful  and energetic  and they  collapse. They  think,
what  has  happened  to Me? What  has  become  of This
Power,  I was  once  able  to use to bless  others  and  myself? There  have  been  so many  Christian  Science  practitioners
who  have  come  to the Messengers  in secret,  saying  those
very words:  "What  has  happened  to me? I have  been  a
practitioner  for years,  but what  has happened  now ? I don't
seem  to be able  to do the same  things,  I once  did" ? This  is the Explanation. Precious  People,  they  were  using
mental  power  and  did not know  it! When  they  exhausted
their  reservoir  of energy  which  had  already  been  drawn
forth,  they  did not know  how  to release  more! No one can
release  It without  this  exact  Ascended  Master  Knowledge
of the "I AM  Presence"—except  in a fragmentary  manner. Once  the Energy  which  was  gathered  about  them  is gone,
without  the Call  to the "I AM  Presence";  you  cannot  re-
place  it in this embodiment. This  is the Explanation  of so many  Blessed  Precious
Ones. There  are hundreds  today  who  are interested  in
Christian  Science,  who  have  had  that  exact  experience. Sometimes,  they  fear  to go and ask why  or what  the reason
is. Let Me say to you tonight,  Precious  Hearts:—there  is not
one thing  in the whole  wide  world  of human  creation,
which  any  human  Being  in the Understanding  of his or 202 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
her "I AM  Presence,"  should  fear;  and  using  the terminol-
ogy of the blessed  Christian  Scientists,  they  mal  practice
themselves  and  do not know  it. We have  no preference  for any  one! We  state  the Law. We love  every  one—the  Christian  Scientists,  Unity,  the
orthodox  people,  all mankind. We  love  them  equally  the
same;  but  We  never  hesitate  to tell them  their  short  com-
ings. If they  have  made  mistakes,  they  should  be strong
enough  to see it and  hear  it kindly. It does  not matter  in what  source  your  seeking  has been;
THERE  IS ONLY  ONE  PLACE  IN THIS  UNIVERSE
WHERE  YOU  CAN  FIND  TRUE  PEACE,  REST  AND
SUCCESS. IT IS TO  KNOW  IN  YOUR  FEELING,
YOUR  OWN  GOD  PRESENCE,  AS IT IS PICTURED
ON THAT  CHART! IT IS THE  ONLY  PLACE  IN
ALL  THE  UNIVERSE,  BECAUSE  THE  "I AM  PRES-
ENCE"  BEATS  THE  HEART  OF  EVERY  HUMAN
BEING;  AND  GIVES  LIFE  TO  EVERY  HUMAN
FORM;  AND  THERE  IS NO  OTHER  ANYWHERE
IN THE  UNIVERSE! To think  of God  as an Omnipresence,  is but to receive
a fragmentary  part  of Its Power. Only  as you  have  an
Individualized  Focus,  can  you  have  a Greater  Power. For
instance,  take  your  reading  glass:  if you  hold  it focused,
the sun  comes  thru  and  sets  the paper  on fire. If you  keep
moving  the  reading  glass,  there  is not such  a focus. This
is a very  good  simile  of mankind's  thought  and  feeling,
which  is swinging  all the time,  from  one  thing  to another. DISCOURSE  VIII  203
When  you  understand  your  Presence,  then  you  can
focus  your  attention  upon  the  Goal;  upon  the  objective
of your  Victory  thru  your  attention. The  Energy  will  flow
there—the  Energy  from  the Presence,  perform  the Service
and win  the Victory  every  time. Where  your  attention  is,
there  your  Life  and  Energy  flow. If it be on the Presence,
the Energy  flows  in. If it be on the lower  things  of Life,
destruction  flows  into  your  Life  Energy  and  destroys  your
human  form. Precious  People,  bear  with  Me  a moment. Feel  this

 breathing. However, hard fast breathing also
contributes to nose snoring. To illustrate the impact of faster and harder breathing during nasal
snoring, I often ask my students  to make the sound of a snore through the
nose. To do this, it is normal to tighten the throat at the back of the nose and
speed up breath ing. Now, begin to slow down the speed of your breathing,
in and out through the nose. Slow down your breathing until it is almost
imperceptible. Breathe hardly any air in and out of the nose. Now, try and
snore when your breathing is light and slow. You will find it more dif ficult. Snoring is not solely due to a compromised nasal airway. Breathing
patterns can also play a role. Having a low BOL T score with a faster
respiratory rate and increased volume of air per minute contributes to
turbulence in the upper airway. While most interventions target the airway,
the missing piece of the puzzle is flow. Any engineer investigatingresistance to flow in a pipe will not only consider the diameter of the pipe
but will also take into account the speed and volume of the flow. To stop mouth snoring, use MyoT ape to keep the mouth closed  during
sleep. You simply cannot snore through the mouth when breathing is
through the nose. To significantly r educe nasal snoring:
• Decongest your nose using the nose unblocking exercise (exercise #14). • Restore nasal breathing during wakefulness and sleep. • Reduce the flow of breathing by using Breathe Light  (exercise #1) for 10 minutes,
four times a day. • Increase your BOL T score to above 20 seconds. For many people, nasal snoring can be eliminated altogether. For others,
particularly those with a narrow  airway, nasal snoring will conti nue but at a
lower intensity, meaning it won’ t be so loud and problematic. OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA
If you suffer with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), I recomme nd that you
read Chapter Seven  on sleep-disordered breathing and see bonus Chapter 18
online at www.HumanixBooks.com/ The Breathing Cure, which describes
the phenotypes or physiological  causes of obstructive sleep apnea and the
ways in which breathing exercises can help. OSA has serious implications for long-term health and well-being. It is
associated with cardiovascular disease, mortality in pregnant women,
sexual dysfunction, depression, and sudden cardiac death. If you have this
condition, it is worth learning more about how you can reduce its symptoms
and severity. The first step in addressing OSA is to make the switch to nasal
breathing during  sleep. This is just as important even if you use CPAP to
treat your sleep apnea. Mouth breathing is a common factor for CPAP
noncompliance, because air that is meant to keep the airways open leaks out
through your open mouth instead. The good news is that breathing exercises improve sleep apnea
symptoms as well as supportin g general health. Follow the next exercise
protocol to reduce your symptoms and enjoy better sleep.Daily Practice
• Breathe only through your nose during rest, physical exercise, and sleep. • Adopt the correct tongue resting posture. Three quarters of your tongue should rest
in the roof of your mouth, with the tip of your tongue placed behind, but not touching,
your top front teeth. For supports on correct tongue resting posture, check out
MyoSpots.com. • Achieve a minimum BOL T score of 25 seconds. • Practice Breathe Light  (exercise #1) for 15 minutes, twice daily. Schedule one
session just after waking and another session before sleep. • Breathe Slow and Deep While W alking  (exercise #6) for 20 minutes, once per day. • Tape your mouth closed to sleep using MyoT ape. If you feel anxious about wearing
tape around your mouth, wear the tape for 20 minutes before sleep to become
comfortable with it. • If your mouth is naturally moist in the morning, there is no need for the tape. A dry
mouth signifies open mouth breathing during sleep. PANIC DISORDER, ANXIETY, AND RACING MIND
Panic disorder is often characterized by feelings of breathlessness and fear
of suffocation. For this reason, one of the things most likely to trigger a
panic attack can be fear of having a panic attack. However, while anxiety,
racing thoughts, and panic are categorized as psychological problems,
scientists have found a strong biochemical link. People with panic disorder
often have a strong sensitivity to the accumulation of CO2, and the feeling
of suf focation can be alleviated by normalizing breathing patterns. When you regularly expose your body to controlled mild air hunger for
a short duration, which is the objective of the Breathe Light  exercises, your
body begins to become less sensitive to the feelings of suffocation and to
the chemical changes that trigger those feelings. As a result of the
connections betw een the biochemistry of breathing and the functioning of
the nervous system, slow breathing can be used to calm the mind. Functional breathing improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain,
allowing you to think more clearly and calmly. The diaphragm is connected to the vagus nerve, which releases a
calming neurotransmitter that slows the heart rate. This is why breathing
deeply calms the mind. Breathing at a rate of 4.5 to 6.5 breaths per minute
activates your body’ s relaxation response and balances your nervous
system, as well as optimizing heart rate variability and blood pressure.Emergency Practice
If you feel a panic attack coming on, there are three exercises you can use
to help stop it in its tracks. These exercises are also helpful in calming a
racing mind:
1. Breathing Recovery  (exercise #12 or #16). 2. Cup your hands over your face to rebreathe CO 2. This is safer than breathing into a
paper bag as it maintains inhaled oxygen at a suf ficiently high level. 3. Switch your breathing from fast and shallow to slow and deep. Y ou can do this by
placing your hands on your trunk either side of your lower ribs so that you can feel
the expansion and contraction of your ribs as you breathe in and out through the
nose:
• Breathe in for three seconds.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Slowing the respiratory
rate of breathing provides numerous benefits, including better breathing
efficiency. CHECKING YOUR BOL T SCORE
To meas ure your BOL T score, you will need some sort of timing device that
counts in seconds. The stopwatch on your smartphone or tablet is ideal. THE BOL T:
• Take a normal, silent breath in through your nose. • Allow a normal, silent breath out through your nose. • Hold your nose with your fingers to prevent air from entering your lungs. • Count the number of seconds until you feel the first distinct desire to breathe in. A low breath-hold time in seconds indicates a greater tendency toward
faster, upper chest breathing with no natural pause between breaths. Be awar e that people with asthma and COPD demonstrate significantly
lower breath-hold times than those with normal breathing. This is because
breathhold time is related to measures of lung function. The best way to get an accurate representation of your breathing is to
measure your BOL T score in the morning just after waking. When you are
fast asleep, breathing continues subconsciously and without interference. For this reason, the morning BOL T score gives a truer measure because it
indicates how well you breathe when you can’t possibly be thinking about
your breathing. During your first few weeks with the breathing exercises, you should
notice an impro vement of three to four seconds in your BOL T score each
week. After that, progress will continue at a slightly slower pace. Physical
exercise can be gradually introduced to increase the BOL T score above 20
seconds. When the breathing exercises are practiced correctly, your breathing
pattern can be retrained. If your very first BOL T score is 10 seconds, it will
take at least three weeks to reach a BOL T score of 20 seconds and sixmonths to reach a BOL T score of 40 seconds. Improvement will depend on
the severity of your symptoms  and on how much attention you bring to
reducing your breathing. The more focus you give to your breathing each
day, the better. At the same time, there is no need to become obsessed with your
breathing. Allow the changes to gradually occur. The breath cannot be
forced into compliance. Many of the exercises involve breathing less air for
periods of time during the day. Allow the breath to gradually reduce by
paying attention to the airflow entering and leaving the nostrils, slowing it
down without tensing up the breathing muscles. Practice the breathing exercises formally for the first few weeks and
then incorporate them into your way of life. Your progress will be reflected
in a higher BOL T score. You will also have lighter breathing and begin to
feel better. The BOLT measures the number of seconds you can comfortably hold
your breath after an exhalation. You must not try to push beyo nd the first
distinct urges to breathe. This isn’t a competitive challenge. Nor is it a
measure of willpower. Continually practicing the BOL T will not change the
result either.


 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

can and should be processed in the mind are often displaced onto the body,
where they cannot be processed and therefore remain stored within your
flesh. The only way to remove the weight of unprocessed feelings is to allow
yourself to actually feel them. Once again, childhood patterns are the issue. Someone else’ s love and understanding—and for a child, that someone else
is the parent—provides a container for our feelings. Later in life, if such a
container were absent in childhood, the overeater tends to seek through
excessive eating the containment that food cannot give. Parental love is meant to be a model for divine love. When parental love
holds us safe, we more easily transfer as adults to a sense that we are safe in
the arms of the divine. If you didn’ t feel that you could safely take your
feelings to your parent figure, it’ s doubtful you feel now that you can give
all your feelings to God. Feelings that are not acknowledged cannot be fully felt. How can you
fully feel something that you fail to name? I feel sad, I feel embarrassed, I
feel overwhelmed, I feel humiliated, I feel angry, I feel afraid, I feel
rejected, I feel left out, I feel betrayed, I feel wr onged, I feel insulted, I feelhopeless, I feel anxious, I feel frustrated, I feel guilty, I feel lonely  … too
often translate into: I feel hungry. Darn right you’re hungry, but not for food. Having bypassed even a
conscious recognition of your pain, you went straight for a way to assuage
it. You’re looking to an external source to provide an experience that can
only be found internally. You can’ t get rid of your pain without admitting to
yourself that it’ s there. Emotions need to be felt the way that food needs to be chewed; emotions
need to be digested within our psyche the way food is digested in our
stomach. The compulsive eater often gor ges on food as a way to avoid
feeling feelings, but then treats food the same way he or she treated the
emotion—moving too quickly, failing to chew, and failing to properly
digest it. Once your feelings are felt, they can be acknowledged, looked at, learned
from, and surrendered to Divine Mind. But instead of acknowledging and
feeling  your feelings, you’ve learned to discount them before they can even
rise up fully formed. Y ou suppress what you’re too afraid to feel, having
little or no trust in the wisdom of your emotions. Y ou don’ t know your
emotions have  any wisdom—how could you, given that no one honored
them when you were a child? But they do; they are part of the genius of the
human psyche. Emotions, even painful ones, are here to tell you something. They are
messages to be tended to. Y et how can you tend to something you don’ t
know is there? Emotions must be acknowledged and felt; or else they
cannot be learned from, grown from, or processed. Life might have taught you that emotions are dangerous. Perhaps as a
child, you were told things such as, “Don’ t you cry or I’ll give you
something to cry about!”—an emotionally tyrannical message that certainly
would have taught you to suppress your feelings at all costs. Perhaps your
emotions were ignored, minimized, or even laughed at by parents who had
other things and other children to think about. What matters is that, for
whatever reason, you learned at a very young age to neither honor nor even
really feel your own feelings. In an earlier lesson, we explored the ef fects of trauma. If you experienced
severe, even violent, trauma, you learned to automatically numb yourself so
as not to feel the next blow. It was a brilliant coping mechanism on the partof your subconscious mind, to freeze so quickly that when the blow came,
you would already be numb. The problem, however, is that such a coping mechanism was only
intended for emer gency purposes; it was manufactured to save you from
imminent danger, not to take you through life. It was not meant to
fundamentally alter your system of emotional responses, and yet that is
what occurred. At a very young age you were exposed to what your psyche perceived as
danger, and now your subconscious mind does not make a distinction
between dangerous threat and tolerable stress. It doesn’ t know what to let in
and what to guard against, so it guards against everything,  just in case. Central to the holistic healing of your weight issue is that you develop a
new skill set with which to deal with unpleasant emotions. An emotion
swept under the rug is not an emotion that goes away; it’ s simply an
emotion that is put somewhere other than where it should be put. It
becomes inert rather than dynamic ener gy, stored within you rather than
being released. As noted previously, ener gy cannot be uncreated. And emotions are
powerful forms of ener gy. If you’re too frightened to feel a feeling, its
energy still has to go somewhere. Actually, an emotion is not dangerous
until it’s disowned, for that’ s when it commonly gets projected onto others
and/or compressed into your own flesh. That only produces more feelings—
shame, humiliation, embarrassment, and failure—resulting in an endless
barrage of twisted reasons telling you why you might as well just give up
and eat more. Defending against being overwhelmed by your emotions, you actually
create emotions that are overwhelming. Y ou begin by trying to keep your
emotions at bay, eat them, go numb instead of feeling them—and in so
doing, create a situation that causes you an endless run of painful emotions. By trying to escape your feelings, you create a whole slew of them that will
arrive full force once you realize what you’ve done. The only feelings you
really need to fear are those you ignore. In Greek mythology, Poseidon is god of the sea. If he tells the waves to
calm down, then the waves calm down. In the New T estament, Jesus
walked onto the water and stopped the storm. Both are metaphysical
descriptions of the ef fects of Divine Mind on the storms of the inner self.Spirit is the master, not the slave, of the inner sea. Y our task, therefore, is to
give your feelings to God, that you might be lifted above the storms of your
subconscious mind. The storms are raging for one reason only: your inner
self will not be ignored. Your thinking that you alone can control the overwhelming force of
unprocessed feelings is like a small child thinking he or she can stand on
the beach and make the waves stop. Y ou might grit your teeth and make it
through the morning; you might white-knuckle it and make it through
lunchtime; you might even somehow be able to make it till 10 P.M. But at
some point, the now angry wave of “I will be fed”—“How dare you say
‘No’ to me? How dare you say ‘No’?!”—will catch you by the ankles and
drag you to the kitchen or whatever place you keep your stash. And the


 religion, yet in his normal waking state he was totally lacking
in education. And Edgar Cayce does not stand alone as a mentalphenomenon. Nearly every child prodigy, every genius exhibits this strange
power to transcend the limitations of matter by a gigantic leap of mind. Mozart, Einstein, Gandhi, Jesus Christ, geniuses all, used some secret
power of the mind to perform their miracles. Though the person in whom
genius lives hour by hour is rare, each of us sometime in our life usually is
privileged with a moment of mystical intuition, sometimes several,
sometimes many. Inner Knowing

A young man named Geor ge suf fered intensely from migraine headaches. One night during a particularly painful siege he took to the streets in the
hope that walking would reduce his pain. Suddenly he was overcome by the
absolute knowledge that breathing pure oxygen would relieve him. He went
immediately to the emer gency hospital, won over the attending physician’ s
objections, breathed oxygen, was immediately relieved. Such treatment is
generally accepted in the medical fraternity today, but at the time it was
rarely used, and Geor ge had never heard of it. Another man named T om, in
the grip of a depression resulting from his loss of a job, awoke one morning
with the feeling that he would be very successful in the valve-
manufacturing business. T om’s acquaintanceship with valves was cursory. He knew they did something inside pumps and engines, but he didn’ t know
just what. He had had no training in engineering and scarcely any in
business, but that didn’ t deter him. He went to a valve company and
arranged a tour of the premises. He was immediately enchanted, sure that
valve manufacturing was for him. T wo weeks later he met at a party a man
who identified himself as an inventor. He drew designs of his new valve on
the hostess’ s tablecloth. T wo days later T om and the inventor found
themselves in the bank arranging financing. T oday their valve
manufacturing firm is one of the lar gest in the nation. The Latent Faculty

Intuition is the power by which all things are done. Nobody ever built a
building by piling blocks. A building is built first in somebody’ s mind;
someone sees it towering to the sun, clear and solid in his imagination, long
before the first physical movement is made to construct it. Those who go
through life totaling facts accumulate only the smallest percentage of the
knowledge that exists in the universe. That kind of person wants facts to tell
them what to do, but facts never do; there simply aren’ t enough of them. “In every man,” writes Rudolf Steiner, “there are latent faculties by means
of which he can acquire for himself knowledge of the higher worlds. ” It is
inner certitude, intuitive hunch, that leads us into right action. W e take
inordinate pride in the powers of our reason, but we have put the cart before
the horse. W e actually seldom follow our reason; our reason usually follows
us. A look at the world’ s history shows us how true this is. Reason told
Columbus the world was flat, intuition that it was round. Reason would
have had him sail the safe seas around his native Europe; intuition led him
across uncharted waters to a new world. Reason told Pasteur that disease
was caused by fevers of the blood; intuition led him to search out bacteria
and a whole new area of preventive medicine. W e attain skill in works and
action when we learn to trust ourselves completely to an inner impulsion
and to cease acting in response to the events and circumstances around us. Doctrine of Mind over Matter

There are three principal points in the doctrine of mind over matter which
must be clearly understood. (1) An invisible but real cosmic medium exists
which supports the apparent world. (2) There is an established connection
between this real but unseen world and the illusory world of the senses. (3)This connection may be discerned and this relationship controlled by our
disciplined consciousness. Taking these points in order, we are struck immediately by the fact that it is
very dif ficult to prove the existence of the cosmic medium. Our methods of
scientific investigation have thus far done little to subject consciousness to
the laboratory microscope, though investigations of parapsychology have
been somewhat fruitful. Dr. J. B. Rhine’ s experiments at Duke University
have proved successfully that there exists some method of communication
between minds beyond the purely sensual, but this whole area of human
existence lies lar gely uninvestigated, like a strange and dark continent. People have dreams in which they see themselves doing a certain thing at a
certain place, and a few days later actually find themselves in that same
place doing that same thing. People report the sudden knowledge of a
friend’ s good or bad fortune, the inner conviction that a house is burning
down or of a loved one’ s pain or danger. Never a day passes without
countless manifestations of this kind being recorded around the world. The
dark continent of the uninvestigated human psyche beckons us. When we
finally have given it our complete attention, the world will witness an
evolutionary leap the likes of which have never been dreamed. Cosmic Medium

The cosmic medium that connects one person with another and one mind
with another is the universal intelligence that permeates all things, all
people, all places. By it each of us has an umbilical tie with our neighbor,
for in a very real and actual sense each of us is one with our neighbor, since
the same basic mind is in everyone. As soon as someone is finally
convinced that the principle of infinite multiplicity is not valid in any
conception of the universe, then they finally are led to the concept of inner
unity, the absolute oneness of all things. When this new principle has really
come home to them, they realize that there is only one life at work in the
universe and it is in them as well as in their neighbor. They see that it workssecretly in the heart of all things, and by this insight they are able not only
to influence its manifestation within themselves but also its manifestation in
other persons, in other things. The world that is perceived through our senses is only a partially revealed
representation of the world that exists within the mind. Strange, then, that
the things that we encounter in space and time seem so very real to us. W e
knock upon a desk and know it is hard and that it is there. But the existence
of the desk as an extension of an idea is a concept we seldom entertain. W e
spend most of our days thinking and planning and scheming, trying to
originate ideas, but our actions are always predicated upon the fact that the
things that we encounter in the world are the things that are truly influential. When we are able to perceive all things as manifestations of thought
concepts, then we look beyond each to the idea that gave it form. Once we
have turned our gaze in that direction we have begun to deal with the basic
creative power of the universe and we have begun to see the possibilities in
the second point in the doctrine of mind over matter, the established
connection between the world of consciousness and the world of substance. Enamoring Ego

“The intellect by itself moves nothing,” said Aristotle, and modern
psychology has af firmed this law. We encounter those circumstances that
reflect the quality of our deeper consciousness. In short, we see only that
which we are, and it is this enamoring quality of our ego that deludes us
about the world. Most people keep running into the same situations over
and over again. Some are accident prone; others are eternally fretting about
their health; still others make a failure of one enterprise after another. Some
lives take on the tenor of an epic tragedy as fate seems to heap one
misfortune on top of another. But it is not misfortune that such people are
encountering; merely the outer manifestation of the inner working of their
own minds. Life keeps bringing us into contact with those things which we fail to
understand. As long as our consciousness does not grow, as long as our
inner sight does not penetrate, that long will we continue to run into the
circumstance that defeats us, until our heads are bloody and bowed, until
we finally understand or are beaten completely. The established connection
between the unseen world of the mind and the outer world of the senses is
this: the outer world is always a projection of the inner. Its emotional
content is the same as the emotional content of the consciousness beholding
it; its influence on us is always according to what we perceive; and what we
perceive comes from within us, not from outside. Magic Images

The first two points in the doctrine of mind over matter allow us to
understand how we are slaves to circumstance, how we never truly
originate action, but take action as a result of being stimulated into it. These
two points, if finally accepted without relief, would be a hopeless concept
of life indeed, but in the third point of the doctrine we find the leaven by
which the whole makeup of life is changed from the deadened aura of
hopelessness into the rosy-hued sparkle of anticipation. The third point in
the doctrine tells us that we can alter our environment and our
circumstances by disciplining our consciousness. “Magical operations,” says the French author and occultist Éliphas Lévi,
“are the

	of

anaphylaxis,	be	severely	damaged	for	life	or	throw	it	off	with	a	minimum

amount	of	harm	to	himself. The	degree	of	injury	done	to	the	organism	may	have

no	immediate	noticeable	effect	but	will	find	expression	eventually,	especially	if

the	harmful	practice	is	continued. It	may	result	in	constitutional	debility,

degeneration,	chronic	disease,	and	death. Some	of	the	symptoms	following

vaccination	and	resulting	in	Serum	Sickness	are:	Fever,	Glandular	Enlargement,

Urticaria,	Leucopenia,	Leukotaxis,	Sciatica,	Phlebitis,	Pain	and	Tenderness	of

the	Joints,	Paralysis,	Heart	Failure,	Collapse	and	Death. Harold	S.	Diehl,	M.A. M.D.,	Sc.D.—Textbook	of	Healthful	Living	(1945),	pp. 256-57,	says:

"The	dangers	of	vaccination	claimed	by	the	anti-vaccinists	are	practically	all

fallacious	or	of	such	antiquity	that	they	do	not	apply	to	modern	vaccination.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        The	danger	here	is,	however,	that	if	this	swelling	is	not

promptly	reduced	and	the	accumulated	fluid	dispersed,	death	of	the	cell	is

assured. Such	an	eventuality	can	only	be	followed	by	the	slow	shrinkage	of	the

muscles	served	by	the	nerve	with	their	final	and	complete	loss	of	power. "It	will	be	readily	seen	that	in	describing	the	process	of	fatigue	we	have	also

described	a	condition	very	like	infantile	paralysis. " OPERATIONS,	ACCIDENTS	AND	INJURY	"cause	changes	in	the	nerve	cells

supplying	the	part	so	that	they	are	rendered	less	able	to	resist	infection"	says	Dr. Geffen	(Medical	Officer	of	Health	for	St. Pancras,	England. ) He	observed	that

persons	contracting	polio	after	appendectomy	(removal	of	appendix)	develop

paralysis	of	the	abdominal	muscles	or	even	of	the	muscles	of	the	intestine. Injection	of	diphtheria-pertussis	vaccine	not	only	localizes	the	paralysis	of

persons	infected	with	virus	but	also	increases	the	attack	rate. There	can	be	little

doubt,	therefore,	that	even	the	vaccination	of	children	against	poliomyelitis	itself

may	provide	the	very	conditions	which	favor	an	attack	and	so	increase	the

incidence	to	the	first	injection. A	child	who	is	injected	three	times	is	at	risk	three

times;	there	is	replication	of	exposure. "Persons	with	bulbar	type	of	polio	(an	especially	fatal	type)	give	a	history	of

removal	of	tonsils	and	adenoids	more	frequently	than	do	persons	with	other

forms	of	poliomyelitis. If	a	person	who	has	had	tonsillectomy	develops	polio	the

likelihood	of	bulbar	involvement	is	4	times	as	great	as	one	where	the	tonsils	are

intact. " ("The	Salk	Story"	Bayly. p. 24)

Tonsils	and	adenoids	are	part	of	the	lymphatic	glandular	system	of	purification

and	when	they	are	removed	the	impurities	that	they	normally	handle	are	thrown

back	into	circulation	and	cause	all	manner	of	diseases. The	poisoning	effects	of

the	anesthetic	and	the	shock	of	the	operation	also	help	to	reduce	the	vitality	and

over	tax	the	already	poisoned	body. The	fact	that	the	tonsils	are	enlarged	and

saturated	with	poison	does	not	indicate	that	they	should	be	removed;	it	merely

indicates	that	the	intake	of	poisons	should	be	discontinued	and	the	bloodstream

cleansed	by	fasting	and	proper	diet. Inflamed	tonsils	and	practically	all	other

abnormal	conditions	heal	themselves	when	the	obstructions	are	removed. SUGAR	is	at	last	being	recognized	as	a	destroyer	of	health	rather	than	an	article

of	food	as	was	formerly	believed. Technically	white	sugar	(C12H220	11)	is

classified	as	a	drug	and	not	as	a	food. Natural	sugar	in	fruit	is	in	a	balanced

combination	with	other	constituents	that	enable	it	to	be	assimilated	without

damage	but	when	it	is	separated	into	the	white,	crystalline	carbon	substance

called	sugar	it	is	converted	into	alcohol	almost	immediately	after	it	is	taken	into

the	body	and	does	the	same	damage	that	alcohol	does. It	dehydrates	the	cells	and

leeches	the	calcium	from	the	nerves,	muscles,	bones,	teeth	and	all	tissues	that	are

supplied	with	calcium	and	other	alkaline	elements. A	serious	calcium	deficiency

is	a	forerunner	of	polio. This	deficiency	cannot	be	adequately	balanced	by	taking

calcium	tablets	or	bone	meal	but	must	have	the	proper	balance	of	other	minerals

and	life	elements	necessary	to	enable	it	to	assimilate	in	the	body. Certain	green
	vegetables	contain	the	calcium	in	proper	balance. Some	of	these	will	be	listed

under	the	topic	heading	WHO	CAN	CURE	POLIO. Dr. Benjamin	P. Sandler,	of	North	Carolina	called	attention	to	the	relationship

between	polio	and	the	excessive	use	of	sugar	and	refined	starches	such	as	white

flour	products	and	processed	corn	meal. He	compiled	records	showing	that	in	the

countries	such	as	United	States,	Britain,	Australia,	Canada	and	Sweden	which

have	an	extremely	high	per	capita	consumption	of	sugar	(around	108	pounds	per

person)	there	is	also	a	high	incidence	of	polio. On	the	other	hand,	polio	is

practically	unknown	in	China	with	its	sugar	consumption	of	only	3	pounds	per

person	per	year. The	summer	months	are	the	months	of	the	highest	sugar	intake	in	the	form	of	ice

cream,	bottled	drinks,	candy,	desserts	etc. and	it	is	no	coincidence	that	it	is	also

the	time	when	polio	is	at	its	height. During	one	of	North	Carolina’s	worst	polio	epidemics	(1948)	Dr. Sandler

publicized	a	diet	program	to	control	the	disease. Polio	had	increased	so	rapidly

all	summer	that	by	October	there	were	2,403	cases	in	that	state. All	the	usual

medical	methods	had	failed	and	the	hopelessness	of	this	terrifying	epidemic

shocked	the	people	into	a	willingness	to	listen	to	something	as	unorthodox	as

diet	to	control	disease.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the consequence of not reducing the swelling and the accumulated fluid in a cell?,
A: Death of the cell is assured.
Q: According to Dr. Geffen, what is the effect of cola drinks on the body?,
A: It dehydrates the cells, leeches calcium from the nerves, muscles, bones, and teeth, and causes paralysis.
Q: What is the main issue with the Salk vaccine, according to the article?,
A: The vaccine is a failure, and it is spreading the disease instead of curing it.
Q: What is the real cause of polio, according to Dr. Scobey?,
A: Polio is caused by body poisoning, not by a virus.
Q: What is the recommended method for healing and preventing polio?,
A: Fasting, cleansing, and proper diet, as well as avoiding poisons and toxins.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Complications	of	vaccination	are	occasionally	reported,	but	how	frequently	these
