 the overall field is dominated by an attractor
field of invisible  but strong ener gy to which the individual consciousness
becomes entrain ed and dominated. The presence of the field is  intuited
and rec ognized by subtle signals. These express as emotional and
psychological behavioral attitudes that become a visible and articulated
lexicon resulting in presumptions and expectations. Thus, attitudes are
visible shorthand expressions of specific levels of consciousness. While pridefulness, in contrast to self-esteem and confidence, is
considered an asset in some subcultures, in general, it is a social
deterrent in society at lar ge. Pr ide expressed as arrogance and personal
superiority tends  to be an antagonistic social positionality for it is seen as
vanity with its implied air of s uperiority, (i.e., ‘politically co rrect’, or
‘elite’). Pride is self-admiration, which implies that others, by compar ison, are
inferior or have less worth, rank, or value. The transparency of this
veneer is quickly apprehended by more mature people who cons ider it to
be a n embarrassment and a soc ially detrimental attribute. Egoistic pride
as ‘s pecialness’ triggers resentm ent in others and in society in general. In
contrast, the truly successful peo ple are accepted because mature success
is acco mpanied by humility and gratitude rather than an air of
superiority. Pride is guarded  because of its vulnerability as well as high visibility. Its
downside is envy, competitiveness, jealousy, and their consequences of
hate, malice, and vindictivenes s. The fragility of pride stems  from its
narcissistic core, which sees true importance as a threat and an implied
loss of stature. Thus, vanity results in sensitivity to slights or
comparisons tha t lead to fear of attack and social paranoia  with its
nascent hostility that can rapidly become overt. This tendency is
expressed social ly in the ‘hate the leader ’ syndrome or in the hatred of
success, such as in the ‘hate America’ syndrome. This downside of narcissism is expressed in children who envy  and are
hostile towards the winners in their class and results in the derision of
high per formance by fellow students. The hostility of narcissism finds
profitable cultu ral expressions where it is exploited for po litical or
financial gain and attention-getti ng. The paradox is that the anti-celebrity
hostility arises out of the critics’ own inner celebrity-seeking
motivations. A conse quence of self-importa nce based on pride is its need to be
constantly fed and propped up to of fset the inner doubt and defi ciency of
wholeness and completeness that ensue from fulfilling the requirements
of integrity. Pride is ‘sensitive’, competitive, feels threatened, and
becomes enflamed by hostile jealousy that accrues to social status or
attention to others. Pridefulness  is therefore the motivation of  the self-
appointed critic’ s use of sarcasm, ridicule, supposed satire, and the whole
industry of attacking public figu res and the reputations of acknowledged
leaders. The Internet has become very visibly the domain of contentious vilifiers
of integrity. These represent inflation of narcissism expressed as
‘opinion’. Because the narcissistic ego is not aligned with integroustruth, its forms of expression  become strident and fallacious and
therefore calibrate extremely low. The primitive, prideful ego is g reedy, and its transparent Achilles’ heel
eventually attracts the consequ ences of hubris, which is the theme of
many g reat classics of history. That “Pride goeth before a fall” is
society’ s rueful epithet to vainglorious causes, as history attests. Because of the pervasiveness of Pride as an expression of the human
ego, some forms of pride ar e accorded social acceptance or even
approval and accepted as normal. The most prominent is the status of
personal opinion in its multiple expressions as ‘free speech’. This cloak
of implied approval excuses everything from gross prevarication to
various forms of mendacity. W hen examined as a function of  the ego,
opinion reveals itself to be nothing more than an idea to wh ich self-
importance has been added because it is ‘my’ opinion. An opinion is an
idea that has ac quired the glamour of self-importance and is therefore
more attractive than just reason, logic, or facts. Opinion is often rationalized by rhetoric in order to justify a pos itionality
such as is repre sented by skepticism (cal. 160), which denounces the
nonlinear domain because it is unable to comprehend it. The innate
prideful narcissi sm of the ego precludes the capacity to under stand the
abstract, so reasoning at this level is limited to materialistic linear
reductionism that negates the reality of consciousness levels 500 and
over. This is a consequence of  limited brain physiology (as p er chart,
Section 2 Overview). Skepticism fails in its attempt to discredit its tar gets because, in order to
do so, it would have to compre hend the subject being criticized. Thus,
quantum mechanics or the Theory of Relativity cannot be disproved by
Newtonian physics. Skepticism and cynicism lack the erudition that
would give ar gumentation validity. Humility is the antidote to most  errors of self-deception. Pride precludes
recognition of the enormous si gnificance of context and especially of
paradigm. Therefore, every major advance in human knowledge has
been de rided, as  historically demonstrated (e.g., the W right brothers at
Kitty Hawk, germs as the cause of infection instead of miasmas, etc.). Due to the innate structure of the ego, it is intrinsically inca pable of
discerning truth from falsehood and confuses perception with reality. Thus, the ego is the victim of its own limitations. What ‘seemed like a
good idea at the  time’ is often the source of regret later on, as everyone
knows. Thus, the value of cons ciousness calibration is that the relative,
actual tr uth of a statement can be derived by a system that evalu ates truth
in accord with an absolute scale of validity. A free society that gives free rein to the whole gamut of human
expression, from the blatantly fallacious to that of advanced wisdom,
actually hopes that over time, w isdom and common sense will prevail
over excess and rhetoric. When inflated, however, falsity becomes
elaborated, and the consequenc es of falsity may take decades  or even
centuries of suf fering before the falsity is revealed. Ego-Dynamics. The intrinsic source of Pride is the narcissistic ener gy of the ego by
which it  self-pr opagates via images and symbols through a c ircuitous
self-reinforcing pattern. Importance is an emotional value with a
complexity of components signifying worth or importance that is always
relative and therefore subject to error as well as contradiction. The ego
fears deflation by negation and therefore constantly seeks reinforcement
by approval and agreement as well as accolade. This is overtly e xpressed
by the endless exploitation of the media by which image eclipses and
replaces reality by creation of a virtual seductive, glamorized, and
distorted replace ment. The wise person avoids ostentatious display as it
more often attracts envy and jealousy rather than admiration. Pride is fragile and, therefore, its defenses are often rigid and extreme to
the p oint of para noia. That which is inflated is subject to deflatio n, which
quickly triggers shame. Thus, humility is misinterpreted by the ego as
being the equivalent of humiliation, whereas, in reality, humility is the
strongest safeguard against hum iliation or vulnerability. This is a basic
tactical wisdom in the martial arts where taking a positionality is a flaw
that lead s to defeat because a fixed posture is one that gives the opponent
a pattern for attack. In eg o-dynamics, a rigid set of expectations results in brittle self-esteem. The stru cture of Pride is linear and therefore vulnerable, wherea s the Selfis nonlinear and thus not subject to linear attack. While the ego is conditioned, th e Self is not subject to conditions, for it
is self-fulfilling, without limitation, definition, or qualities, and is beyond
adjectives. The ego’ s self-evalu ation is based on claims and opinions,
whereas true self-esteem arises by virtue of the ener gy of inte grity and
truth. Th e Self is complete by virtue of its completion and iden tification
as ‘is-ness’, which is unconditional. T ranscending Pride. Pride is a needle ss burden and a  fragile prop that is not only vulnerable
to de flation but also, paradoxica lly, it even provokes and attrac ts attack. It is based on a false presumption that one’ s intrinsic worth is a definable
variable. Self-acceptance results from surrendering self-doubt. All that
exists is intrinsically equal by virtue of its creation and the source of that
creation itself. W orth or value is based on lin ear value judgments, all of w hich are
merely arbitrary adjectives. All ‘add-ons’ are suppositions, as are social
symbols or public accol


 through things doesnt work: The ego
satisfaction is short?lived and so you keep looking for more, keep
buying, keep consuming. Of course, in this physical dimension that our surface selves inhabit,
things are a necessary and inescapable part of our lives. W e need
housing, clothes, furniture, tools, transportation. There may also be
things in our lives that we value because of their beauty or inherentquality. W e need to honor the world of things, not despise it. Each thing
has Beingness, is a temporary form that has its origin within the formless
one Life, the source of all things, all bodies, all forms. In most ancient
cultures, people believed that everything, even so?called inanimate
objects, had an indwelling spirit, and in
this respect they were closer to the truth than we are today. When you
live in a world deadened by mental abstraction, you dont sense the
aliveness of the universe anymore. Most people dont inhabit a living
reality, but a conceptualized one. But we cannot really honor things if we use them as a means to self? enhancement, that is to say, if we try to find ourselves through them. This is exactly what the ego does. Ego?identification with things creates
attachment to things, obsession with things, which in turn creates our
consumer society and economic structures where the only measure of
progress is always more. The unchecked striving for more, for endless
growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the
cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware
that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the or ganism
of which it is a part. Some economists are so attached to the notion of
growth that they cant let go of that word, so they refer to recession as a
time of negative growth. A lar ge part of many peoples lives is consumed by an obsessive
preoccupation with things. This is why one of the ills of our times is
object proliferation. When you can no feel the life that you are, you are
likely to fill up your life with things. As a spiritual practice, I suggest
that you investigate your relationship with the world of things through
self?observation, and in particular, things that are designated with the
word my. Y ou need to be alert and honest to find out, for example,
whether your sense of self?worth is bound up with things you possess. Do certain things induce a subtle feeling of importance or superiority? Does the lack of them make you feel inferior to others who have more
than you? Do you casually mention things you own or show them of f to
increase your sense of worth in someone elses eyes and through them in
your own? Do you feel resentful or angry and somehow diminished in
your sense of self when someone else has more than you or when you
lose a prized possession?A New Earth

When I was seeing people as a counselor and spiritual teacher, I would
visit a woman twice a week whose body was riddled with cancer. She
was a schoolteacher in her mid?forties and had been given no more than
a few
months to live by her doctors. Sometimes a few words were spoken
during those visits, but mostly we would sit together in silence, and as
we did, she had her first glimpses of the stillness within herself that she
never knew existed during her busy life as a schoolteacher. One day, however, I arrived to find her in a state of great distress and
anger. What happened I asked. Her diamond ring, of great monetary as
well as sentimental value, had disappeared, and she said she was sure it
had been stolen by the woman who came to look after her for a few
hours every day. She said she didnt understand how anybody could be so
callous and heartless as to do this to her. She asked me whether she
should confront the woman or whether it would be better to call the
police immediately. I said I couldnt tell her what to do, but asked her to
find out how important a rig or anything else was at this point in hr life. Y ou dont understand, she said. This was my grandmothers ring. I used to
wear it every day until I got ill and my hands became too swollen. Its
more than just a ring to me. How can I not b upset? The quickness of her response and the anger and defensiveness in her
voice were indications that she had not yet become present enough to
look within and to disentangle her reaction from the event and observe
them both. Her anger and defensiveness were signs that the ego was still
speaking through her. I said, I am going to ask you a few questions, but
instead of answering them now, see if you can find the answers within
you. I will pause briefly after each question. When an answer comes, it
may not necessarily come in the form of words. She said she was ready
to listen. I asked: Do you realize that you will have to let go of the ring at
some point, perhaps quite soon? How much more time do you needbefore you will be ready to let go of it? W ill you become less when you
let go of it? Has who you are become diminished by the loss? There were
a few minutes of silence after the last question. When she started speaking again, there was a smile on her face, and she
seemed at peace. The last question made me realize something
important. First I went to my mind for an answer and my mind said, Y es,
f course you have been diminished. Then I asked myself the question
again, Has who I am become diminished? This time I tried to feel rather
than think the answer. And suddenly I could feel my I Am?ness. I have
never felt
that before. If I can feel the I Am so strongly, then who I am hasnt been
diminished at all. I can still feel it now, something peaceful but very
alive. That is the joy of Being, I said. Y ou can only feel it when you get out of
your head. Being must be felt. It cant be thought. The ego doesnt know
about it because thought is what it consists of. The ring was really in
your head as a thought that you confused with the sense of I Am. Y ou
thought the I Am or a part of it was in the ring. Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being
that it cannot feel. Y ou can value and care for things, but whenever you
get attached to them, you will know its the ego. And you are never really
attached to a thing but to a thought that has I, me, or mine in it. Whenever you completely accept a loss, you go beyond ego, and who
you are, the I Am which is consciousness itself, emer ges. She said, Now I understand something Jesus said that never made much
sense to me before: If someone takes your shirt, let him have your coat
as well. Thats right, I said. It doesnt mean you should never lock your door. All it
means is that sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power
than defending or hanging on. In the last few weeks of her life as her body became weaker, she became
more and more radiant, as if light were shining through her. She gave
many of her possessions away, some to the woman she thought had
stolen the ring, and with each thing she gave away, her joy deepened.When her mother called me to let me know she had passed away, she
also mentioned that after her death they found her ring in the medicine
cabinet in the bathroom. Did the woman return the ring, or had it been
there all the time? Nobody will ever know. One thing we do know: Life
will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of
your consciousness. How do you now this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment. Is it wrong then to be proud of ones possessions or to feel resentful
toward people to have more than you? Not at all. That sense of pride, of
needing to stand out, the apparent enhancement of ones self through
more than and diminishment through less than is neither right nor wrong
it is
the ego. The ego isnt wrong; its just unconscious. When you observe the
ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it. Dont take the ego too
seriously. When you detect egoic behavior in yourself, smile. At times
you may even laugh. How could humanity have been taken in by this for
so long? Above all, know that the ego isnt personal. It isnt who you are. If you consider the ego to be your personal problem, thats just more ego.A New Earth

T o own something what does it really mean? What does it mean to make
something mine? If you stand on a street in New Y ork, point to a huge
skyscraper and say, That building is mine. I own it, you are either very
wealthy or you are delusional or a liar. In any case, you are telling a story
in which the thought form I and the thought form building mer ge into
one. Thats how the mental concept of ownership works. If everybody
agrees with your


ing of reality, will harden  into fact. To an assumption, all means which promote  its realization are  good. It in -
fluences the  behavior of all, by inspiring  in all the  movements, the  ac-
tions, and  the words which tend towards its fulfillment. To understand  how man molds his future  in harmony with his assumption
by simply experiencing  in his imagination what he  would  experience in re -
ality were  he to realize his goal  we must know  what we  mean by a  dimen -
sionally larger world, for it is to a  dimensionally larger  world  that we  go to
alter our future. The observation of an event before  it occurs implies that the  event is pre -
determined  from the point of view of man in the  three dimensional world. Therefore  to change  the conditions here  in the  three dimensions of space
we must first change  them in the  four dimensions of space. Man does not know  exactly what is meant by a  dimensionally larger
world, and  would  no doubt deny the  existence of a  dimensionally larger
Self. He  is quite  familiar  with the  three dimensions of length, width and
height, and  he feels that, if there  were a fourth dimension, it should be
just as obvious to him as the  dimensions of length, width and  height. Now a dimension is not a  line. It is any way in which a  thing can be  mea-
sured  that is entirely different from all other  ways. That is, to measure a
solid fourth  dimensionally, we  simply measure  it in any direction except
that of its length, width and  height. Now, is there  another  way of measur -
ing an object other  than those  of its length, width and  height? Time measures my life  without employing  the three dimensions of length,
width and  height. There  is no such thing  as an instantaneous object. Its
appearance and  disappearance are  measurable. It endures for a definite
length of time. We  can measure  its life  span without using  the dimensions
of length, width and  height. Time  is definitely a fourth way of measuring
an object. The more dimensions an object has, the  more substantial and  real it be -
comes. A straight  line, which lies entirely in one  dimension, acquires
shape, mass and  substance by the  addition of dimensions. What new
quality would  time, the  fourth dimension give, which  would  make it just
as vastly superior to solids, as solids are  to surfaces and  surfaces are  to
lines? Time  is a medium for changes in experience, for all changes take
time. The new quality is changeability. Observe  that, if we  bisect a  solid, its
cross section will be  a surface; by bisecting  a surface,  we obtain a line,
and by bisecting  a line, we  get a point. This means that a  point is but a
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havencross section of a  line; which is, in turn, but a cross section  of a surface;
which is, in turn, but a  cross section of a  solid; which is, in turn, if car -
ried to its logical conclusion, but a cross section of a  four dimensional ob -
ject. We cannot avoid  the inference that all three dimensional objects are  but
cross sections of four  dimensional bodies. Which means:  when I meet
you, I meet a  cross section of the  four dimensional you  the four dimen -
sional Self that is not seen. To see the  four dimensional Self I must see
every cross section or moment of your life  from birth to death, and  see
them all as co existing. My focus should  take in the  entire  array of sensory impressions which you
have experienced  on earth, plus those  you might encounter. I should  see
them, not in the  order in which they were  experienced  by you, but as a
present whole. Because  CHANGE  is the characteristic  of the  fourth dimen -
sion, I should  see them in a  state of flux as a living, animated  whole. Now, if we have  all this clearly fixed  in our minds, what does it mean to
us in this three dimensional world? It means that, if we  can move along
times length, we  can see the  future  and alter it if we so desire. This world, which we think  so solidly real, is a  shadow  out of which and
beyond  which we  may at any time  pass. It is an abstraction from a more
fundamental and  dimensionally larger  world  a more fundamental world
abstracted  from a  still more  fundamental and  dimensionally larger  world
and so on to infinity. For the  absolute  is unattainable  by any  means or
analysis, no matter  how many dimensions we  add to the  world. Man can prove  the existence of a  dimensionally larger  world  by simply fo -
cusing  his attention on an invisible  state and imagining  that he  sees and
feels it. If he  remains concentrated  in this state,  his present environment
will pass away, and  he will awaken in a  dimensionally larger world where
the object of his contemplation will be  seen as a  concrete  objective  reali-
ty. I feel intuitively that, were  he to abstract his thoughts from this dimen -
sionally larger world  and retreat still farther  within his mind, he would
again bring  about an externalization of time. He would  discover  that, ev -
ery time  he retreats into his inner  mind and brings about an externaliza -
tion of time,  space  becomes dimensionally larger. And  he would  therefore
conclude  that both time  and space  are serial, and  that the  drama  of life  is
but the  climbing  of a multitudinous dimensional time  block. Scientists will one  day explain WHY  there  is a Serial Universe. But in prac -
tice HOW we  use this Serial Universe  to change  the future  is more  impor -
tant. To change  the future, we need  only concern ourselves with two
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenworlds in the  infinite  series; the  world  we know  by reason of our bodily
organs, and  the world  we perceive  independently of our bodily organs. I have  stated  that man has at every moment of time  the choice before
him which of several  futures he  will have. But the  question arises:  "How  is
this possible  when the  experiences of man, awake in the  three dimension -
al world, are  predetermined?" as his observation of an  event before  it oc-
curs implies. This ability to change  the future  will be  seen if we  liken the  experiences of
life on earth to this printed  page. Man experiences events on earth singly
and successively in the  same  way that you  are now experiencing the
words of this page. Imagine  that every word  on this page represents a  single  sensory impres -
sion. To get the  context, to understand  my meaning, you  focus your vision
on the  first word  in the  upper  left hand  corner  and then move  your focus
across the  page from left to right, letting  it fall  on the  words singly and
successively. By the  time your eyes reach the  last word  on this page you
have extracted  my meaning. But suppose  on looking  at the  page, with all the  printed  words thereon
equally present, you  decided  to rearrange  them. You  could, by rearrang -
ing them, tell an entirely different story, in fact you  could  tell many differ -
ent stories. A dream is nothing  more than uncontrolled  four dimensional thinking, or
the rearrangement of both past and  future  sensory impressions. Man sel -
dom dreams of events in the  order  in which he  experiences them when
awake. He  usually dreams of two or more  events which are  separated  in
time fused  into a  single  sensory impression; or else  he so completely re -
arranges his single  waking  sensory impressions that he  does not recog -
nize them when he  encounters them in his waking  state. For example,  I dreamed  that I delivered  a package  to the  restaurant in
my apartment  building. The  hostess said  to me,  "You can't leave  that

had been placed  at my door. On my way down I gave  the day elevator op -

Introduction
The Gerson Therapy diet is an alternative cancer treatment developed by
Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920s. It involves a specific dietary regimen along
with other complementary therapies such as cof fee enemas and
supplements. It is important to note that the G


 is this natural barrier that the detour requires many days, and
the crossing of several divides ranging from fourteen to sixteen thousand feet above the sea. This
was not necessary for the Incas who had built roads and suspension bridges through these
mountains from Cuzco to all parts of the great empire. It is in this mountain vastness that the Inca
rulers had constructed their most superb fortresses. While the early Spanish conquerors of the
country knew that the nobility had great defenses to which they might retreat, the location of the
fortresses was not known. Their greatest fortress was discovered and excavated by Professor C.
W. Bingham of Yale, under the auspices of Yale University and the American Museum of Natural
History. This fortress and retreat is now world famous as Macchu Piccu, and probably represents
the highest development of engineering, ancient and in some respects modern, on the American
continent. We are particularly concerned with the type of men that were capable of such great
achievement, since they were required to carry forward their great undertakings without the use of
iron or the wheel. While the great Inca culture dominated the Sierras and the coast for several
centuries prior to the coming of the Spanish, and while they had their seat of government and vast
agricultural enterprises in the high Sierras, it is of special interest that many of the most magnificent
monuments remaining today in stone were not constructed by the Inca culture, but by the
Tauhuanocan culture which preceded the Inca. The Incas were a part of the Quechu linguistic
stock, while the Tauhuanocans were a part of the Aymara linguistic stock. The Incas had their
capital in the high plateau country about the center of Peru. The earlier Tauhuanocan culture
centered in southern Peru near Lake Titicaca where their most magnificent structures are to be
found today. One of the largest single stones to be moved and put into the building of a great
temple in the history of the world is to be found near Lake Titicaca. According to engineers, there
is no quarry known in an easily reached locality where such a stone could be quarried. It is
conjectured that it was brought two hundred miles over mountainous country. It is important to
note that many magnificent structures, evidently belonging to this ancient Tauhaunocan culture, are
found distributed through the Andean Plateau from Bolivia to Equador. Their masonry was
characterized by the fitting together of large stones faced so perfectly that in many of the walls it
was difficult to find a crevice which had enough space to allow the passage of the point of my pen
knife, notwithstanding that these stones were many-sided with some of them fifteen to twenty feet
in length. In Figure 82 above will be seen a section of wall of the great fortress Sacsahuaman
overlooking Cuzco. Modern engineers seem unable to provide a satisfactory answer as to how
these people were able to cut these stones with the limited facilities available, nor is it explained
how they were able to transport and hoist some of their enormous monoliths. The walls and
fortress of Macchu Piccu, as well as the residences and temples, were built of white granite which
apparently was taken from quarries in the bank of the river Urabamba, two thousand feet below
the fortress. Without modern hoisting machinery, how did they raise those mammoth stones? In
Fig. 82 below is shown a typical section of wall. One stone shown has twelve faces and twelve
angles, all fitting accurately its boundary stones. It is as though the stones were plastic and pressed
into a mould.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 143/250FIG. 82. The primitive peoples of the Andean Sierra built
wonderful fortresses and temples of cut stones which are
assembled without mortar and cut to interlock. The central
stone, above, is estimated to weigh one hundred and forty
thousand pounds. Below the largest stone has twelve faces
and twelve angles. The country is rugged. Over it passes the highest standard-gage railroad in the world,--about
16,000 feet above sea level. The banks of this river are protected for long distances by ancient
stone retaining walls. The native Indians live and herd their flocks of llamas and alpacas up near the
snow line, largely between 15,000 and 18,000 feet. The Incas and their descendants now
occupying the high Sierras in the Andes have been thrifty agriculturists. They turn the soil with a
very narrow, long, slender bladed spade which they force into the ground, and with which they pry
the ground up in chunks. They then break up the chunks. These spades were originally made of
copper which they mined themselves. Cuzco is the archeological capital of South America, but its
glory is in the ancient fortresses and temples, rather than in the modern structures. As one passes
through the streets, he will note that in many instances the foundations and parts of the walls of
many of the modern Spanish cathedrals and public buildings are of old Inca construction, of fine
stone work surmounted by cheap rubble work and mortar superstructure. Whereas the original
Cuzco had running water and an excellent sanitation system, modern Cuzco has deplorable
sanitary conditions. The following is quoted from the West Coast Leader, published in Lima, dated
July 20, 1937: "Of a total 3,600 houses in the city of Cuzco 900 are without water or drainage;
2,400 are without light (windows) and 1,080 completely lack any sanitary systems. It is not
surprising, therefore, that in some years the death rate exceeds the birth rate. We are particularly concerned in studying these people to know the sources of their great
capacity for developing art, engineering, government and social organization. Can such a
magnificent culture be brought about unless founded on a superb physical development resulting
from purely biologic forces? Earthquakes are very frequent in the Andes. We experienced several while in Peru. One of these
opened up a cave in the mountainside in the Urabamba Valley near which we were making studies. The cave had just been explored and a number of ancient burials found. I was able to examine a
number of skulls from this cave which apparently represented a pre-Spanish period. The date of
the burials could not be determined. The skulls were interpreted as belonging to an early Indian
period. In Fig. 83 may be seen two typical skulls. Note the broad sweep of the dental arches and
freedom from tooth decay. The third molars (wisdom teeth) are well developed and in normal
position for mastication. These are typical of the entire group found in this burial place. It is very7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 144/250evident that these individuals were provided with an adequate nutrition throughout the formative
and growth periods, as well as during their adult life. This is significant because of the limited
variety of foods easily obtainable for the people in the high plateau country of the Andes. FIG. 83. Typical skulls of High Sierra Indians from a recently
opened burial cave. Note the breadth of the dental arches
provided by excellent development of the bones of the head. The ancient Peruvians of both the coastal area and high plateau country had developed superb
physical bodies in each of the several cultures. This development had been brought about in spite
of the bad conditions prevailing with arid desert land extending from the coast to the mountains,
and in spite of the severe climate of the high Sierras. The people utilized the wide variety of animal
life from the sea in conjunction with the excellent plant foods grown in the river basins with the aid
of irrigation. Over twenty of our common plants had their origin in ancient Peru. In the high Sierras,
their animal foods were largely limited to the llama, alpaca and wild animals. Each household,
however, maintained a colony of guinea pigs. Owing to the difficulty of boiling in the high altitudes,
they found it necessary to roast their cereals and meats. Their vegetable foods included potatoes,
which were preserved in powder form by freezing and drying and pulverizing. Corn and several
varieties of beans and quinua were their principal cereals. The latter is a small seed of very high
nutritive value. REFERENCES

ISOLATED AND MODERNIZED PERUVIAN INDIANS
IN ORDER to understand the living descendants of the ancient residents of the high Andes it is
essential that we know their environment. Their climate is cold at night the year around. While
during the winter the snow is deep in the high mountains, there is very little on the plateau, since
Peru is near the equator extending from 5 to 16 degrees south latitude. The sunshine is bright and
warm even in winter. Consequently they have pasturage for their animals the year around.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

you tattooed and drugged up and hooked on heroin or something.” And to
lure you into crime or evil. So, it seemed to create that, and that bothered
me, and yet we went back over and over it again. Of course, those of you
who are familiar with the work and have done kinesiology yourself know it
is extremely definite. There’ s nothing imaginary. If science wants evidence-
based work, kinesiology is truly evidence based. Your arm either goesstrong or it goes weak. And there is no if, and, or but about it. And it always
gives you the same answer. Creation Is Continuous
And then it dawned on me that, first of all, the scale is drawn a little
incorrectly, and I want to redraw it today. The other thing is that it’ s not
really two dif ferent worlds. What happens is this: Near the top of the scale
at 1,000, you have the Great Avatars, so there’ s the universal Presence. There’ s the Unmanifest, which becomes manifest as creation. Creation is
continuous. Consciousness, as it interacts with matter, evolves as life. And
then life evolves up into higher and higher capacities through evolution. Therefore, creation and evolution are one and the same thing. What science
calls evolution is nothing but the unfolding of creation. As creation unfolds
sequentially, perception thinks it sees something happening. It’ s only the
unfolding of evolution. So, evolution is nothing but a demonstration of the
fact that creation is continuous. This gets us away from the view that God
was around at the time of Genesis; He created the world and took of f. And
you don’ t see Him again until you get to heaven. So, God is elsewhere in
time, way back in the early, early beginning—prehistoric—and you’re not
going to see Him unless you’ve been very, very good, and you go to a
heavenly place where He sits waiting in judgment. Oh my god, what a scary
paradigm of reality. In the meantime, you’re on your own, folks. Once in a while, He says strange things to people, who sometimes get put
in mental hospitals for what He says. Or He speaks through prophets and
various bizarre pronouncements. So, it’ s a strange world. And of course, it
explains why most people never find God. If He was way in prehistoric
times and does not exist until you get to heaven, you’re pretty much on your
own. But the reality of it is that that which shines forth as Divinity is the pure
essence out of which arises Love. And this Love then does radiate down
throughout creation, much like the proverbial step-down transformers. And,
if you calibrate the level of an archangel—let’ s just do it for fun: “An
archangel—we have permission: resist—” (T rue), “—runs 500,000 and
over: resist” (T rue). Okay. Now this is a logarithmic scale, folks, and every
step as you get higher and higher is an enormous increase of ener gy. And an
archangel runs 500,000 and up. So, we’re talking about power of suchimmensity. When I first witnessed it and went into that state—the power
that holds rock together, steel together, holds the planet together, holds the
universe together, is the infinite power of God, which we think is physical;
we witness it as physical—that is the power of God. The cohesion between
atoms and what makes cement hard is the infinite power of God, is
manifesting in that domain. This enormous power, then, the Light. So, Genesis calibrates positive. There’ s only three books in the Old Testament, and Genesis is one of them,
that calibrates positive. In the Old Testament, you have Psalms, Proverbs,
and Genesis, the only three books in the Old Testament that test positive. So, this infinite power then radiates forth as the light of Love. Here’ s what
we’re actually seeing [on the board] is that the top—the amount of Love is
high at the top of the scale and becomes less and less. If this picture was
drawn correctly, the lower half of the scale as we get below 200—the top
would be very bright, and then it darkens as we go down, and as we go
below 200, it gets darker and darker, and by the bottom of the scale, it’ s
pretty black. So, what we’re seeing, then, is not “good” and “evil”; this is not two
contrasting either/ors. You’re seeing a great deal of Love, less and less and
less Love, and it diminishes. You’re looking more like at a thermometer,
you see? There’ s only one variable. Don’ t forget, to get beyond dualities,
you have to realize the error is assuming that there’re two variables. There’ s
only one variable, and we will explain that. There’ s either light—the only
variable between light and darkness is, there’ s only light. There aren’ t two
things, such as “light” and “darkness.” There’ s only light. Light is either
there, or it’ s not there. The light can be very bright, or it can be very, very
dim. When it gets very, very dim, we say it’ s darkness. Darkness is not a
thing. You can’ t shine darkness into a closet and shine me some darkness. It
has no reality, the absence of light. So there’ s only one variable, and that’ s
light. In the scale of consciousness, then, there’ s only one variable, and
that’s Love. Infinite Love makes you infinitely powerful. My moment of Enlightenment, which was January 10, 1965, left me
jarred and thoughtless for many years. Recently, out of curiosity—I was
almost too scared to ask, “That one was the one at 500,000: resist” (T rue). “It was a thought from the one at 500,000: resist” (T rue). A thought—out of
enormous prayer, an archangel merely gives you a thought, an instant—took me right out of the world, of what the world calls reality, into a
different, total reality. Therefore, analogous to light, then, the top of the scale at 1,000 is about
as much light as protoplasm can handle without frying. And it fries even
there. So, this light is very intense, and the ordinary protoplasm really
cannot handle it. It scales down then, and we notice that, at what we
calibrate at 200, what has happened here is that you haven’ t gone from
Love to not-Love. What’ s happened is that it changes quality. Now, in any
progression of comparisons, you’ll notice the logical error was made by
Aristotle—and was made by all the great thinkers of all time—in looking
for the primary “cause.”
Let’s say, in St. Thomas Aquinas’ s arguments for the existence of God,
there is the classic ar gument of “first cause.” We’re going to try and get rid
of “cause.” It’ s a great impediment. Don’ t forget that we have to eliminate
“cause” from our thinking! It gets down to “first cause.” The dif ficulty with that kind of thinkingness
is that it doesn’ t realize that many sequences; there’ s a change of quality
along the way, which they don’ t take into account—a change of quality. As
you look through a sequence at what the world calls “causes,” you’re
expecting to find something that’ s very, very similar as cause number Uno. Cause number Uno is of a dif ferent quality. The same thing, you’ll
understand as soon as I tell you this, if we take a thermometer—let’ s say,
above 1,000, the water turns into steam. When you get down to calibration
level 200, it turns to ice. It is still only H2O, but whoa, what a change of
quality. So, what we have at 200 is not a duality of water versus non-water;
we just have, at this end, hot water—Jesus and Krishna and all those people
—and then at 200, this water turns into ice. It’ s still just water. It is not a
duality of water versus non-water. Okay? That will help a lot of people. You
see, when you get caught by the dualities, which is created by some
positionality, the way you transcend perception is, you have to find the
positionality that’ s creating that duality and remove that positionality, and
the duality then collapses. What you see is that Reality is not a duality; it’ s a
gradation. Let’ s say, “good” and “evil”—you could start with “good” at the
top, and then remove more and more “good,” and at a certain point,
depending on what your positionality is, you would say, “Well, that’ s
‘evil.’” Well, people would be in dif ferent places.I treat a lot of street kids. I am in a girls’  ranch. We have lots of juvenile
adolescents there. And their scale of what’ s okay and what’ s not okay is

        Within a month, he noticed improved energy and well being,
and within a year, he says he felt better than he had for a decade. Mr. Moreland followed the full regimen for three years, and today, nine years since
his diagnosis, he remains in excellent health. He also has two healthy children,
currently, aged four and six; this is unusual, since MOPP chemotherapy causes
sterility in a majority of male patients. Despite his abbreviated courses of both
chemotherapy and radiation, I  believe Mr. Moreland is a relatively simple case to
evaluate. Although there are, in the medical literature, several documented instances of
129
Winning The Cancer War
patients with advanced Hodgkin's enjoying prolonged survival after incomplete
treatment with MOPP, such cases are extremely rare. While he did undergo
radiotherapy, all of it was directed to his chest and upper abdomen. His extensive
lower abdominal and pelvic tumors were never irradiated. In summary, Mr. Moreland suffered Stage IIIB Hodgkin's disease, treated with
partial courses of chemotherapy and radiation. When first seen by Dr. Kelley, he was
clinically debilitated and not, according to his doctors, in remission; it seems
reasonable to attribute this patient's prolonged survival and current good health to his
nutritional protocol. Scott Stirling
Mr. Stirling is a 53-year-old Canadian, alive 27 years since developing Hodgkin's
disease. In January of 1  971, Mr. Stirling noticed a swelling on the left side of his neck. He consulted his local physician who believed the lesion to be a benign cyst, and no
additional evaluation was recommended. Over the following year, the swelling fluctuated in size. Finally, when his neck
enlarged dramatically in June of 1972, Mr. Stirling returned to his doctor, and was
admitted to Reddy Memorial Hospital in Toronto.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What was Mr. Moreland's initial treatment plan, and how did he respond to it?,
A: Mr. Moreland was initially treated with a six-month, six-cycle MOPP chemotherapy protocol. However, he experienced severe weakness, fatigue, and anorexia after the second course of treatment and refused further chemotherapy. He then began the Kelley program, which led to his recovery.
Q: What was Mrs. Nemethy's experience with chemotherapy, and how did she respond to it?,
A: Mrs. Nemethy received chemotherapy as part of her treatment plan, but she stopped it due to the severe side effects and instead started the Kelley program. She reported feeling weak, depressed, and nauseous during the treatment. After switching to the Kelley program, she experienced a dramatic improvement in her health.
Q: What was Mrs. Wojt's experience with chemotherapy, and how did she respond to it?,
A: Mrs. Wojt received chemotherapy as part of her treatment plan, but she refused to continue with it due to the severe side effects. She then began the Kelley program and reported a significant improvement in her health.
Q: What was the prognosis given to Mrs. Wojt, and how did she respond to it?,
A: Mrs. Wojt was told that she would not live a year, but she refused to accept this prognosis and instead sought alternative treatment. She consulted with Dr. Kelley and began the Kelley program, which led to her recovery.
Q: What was Dr. Kelley's advice to patients, and how did he approach his work?,
A: Dr. Kelley emphasized the importance of patient education and empowerment, stating that patients should not rely solely on their doctors and should instead take an active role in their own treatment.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>And believe me, I  saw many physicians in the

"Big Apple." Our family physician, Dr. H.H., said I  should see a specialist because my periods
were too long, I  was losing too much blood during each period and I  had fibroids. I
went to the specialist he recommended who urged me not to wait, but to have the
operation "before it was too late." I  followed orders. I  had the operation. (By the way,
I  remember being sedated and prepared in the morning for the operation, which was
scheduled for 1:00 p.m. I  remember not being wheeled in until 4:00 p.m.! I  was
worried and wondered... w ill I  get the right operation? This experience filled me
with dismay and created distrust for the medical profession.) I  was discharged with a clean bill of health. Now that I  had had the operation, did I
feel better? No, I  felt worse! I  was passing gas, feeling tired and terribly constipated. It
did no good to hear nice words of assurance from the doctor or that the tumor they
had removed was the size of a five-month pregnancy. I  didn't feel better hearing that
it was normal for some people not to have daily bowel movements. I  felt loggy. Shortly after the operation and an "OK checkup" from the surgeon, I  went to our
family physician with the complaint "I have pain in the abdomen." He examined me
and was surprised to find a cyst in the former womb area. He asked me to return to
the specialist. I  refused. I  told our family physician that my confidence in the
specialist was gone. I  asked him to take care of me. After much pleading, he did. He
removed the cyst in his office by cauterization. Those were two painful office visits
for me. I  still felt rotten. I  was fatigued all the time and passing gas much of the time. I  had
attacks of illness diagnosed as myositis and facial neuritis. I  had pains in my
abdomen, which were diagnosed as a nervous stomach. The family doctor suggested
I  take the gallbladder test. I  took it. Fortunately, at the time, there was nothing wrong
with my gallbladder. I  went to the dentist often because my gums were bleeding and
my teeth were loose. I  was born with a brown mole on my left cheek. When I  was 14, hair began to
grow in the mole. It didn't hurt, but I  felt a pulsating sensation in the mole area. I  saw
a doctor who recommended removing the hairs by electrolysis. I  did this. Afterward,
the doctor said "It looks OK; we'll leave it alone for now, but you should always
watch the mole for any changes." Two years after the hysterectomy operation at the age of 39, the brown mole on my
left check started to throb and grow. I  saw a skin specialist and had the mole excised. A biopsy was performed. Diagnosis: Non-malignant. In the fall of 1969, I  saw a gynecologist for a checkup. This doctor recommended
154

estrogen because I  had had a partial hysterectomy. I  took the estrogen for three
months only because round white spots emerged on both of my thighs and a growth
developed under the arch of my left foot. I  had to have this growth surgically
removed. This, too, was biopsied and declared non-malignant. At the same time, the
skin specialist removed some small growths on my face, forehead and right wrist. I  was depressed; I  was still suffering with passing gas; my eyes were deteriorating. I
couldn't focus; couldn't see telephone numbers or addresses in the telephone book,
found it difficult to read the newspapers. I  suffered with muscle weakness and
cramps. The latter condition would often strike me at night while I  was sleeping with
such severity that I  would wake up screaming from the pain. My chestnut brown hair
was turning gray; the texture was now brittle. Worst of all, my face "itched" 24 hours
a day. I  wanted to holler because there was no letup of pain. I  found I  could no
longer tolerate any sunlight. I  went to yet another specialist. I  gave him a list of my complaints. He gave me a
battery of tests, a big bill, and said that the tests showed there was nothing wrong
with me. He said, "You're getting older, try to make things easier." He suggested I  see
a psychiatrist. I  questioned him about my facial condition. He said the facial problem
was probably part of my active imagination. Ooh, but I  was angry when I  left his
office. I  found the pain in my face intolerable. I  made an appointment with a skin
specialist in 1971. He performed surgery in his office and said, "W e'll do a biopsy but
I  doubt that you'll get your money's worth," Well, his office is the party that called
and told me, "You have cancer." I  think I  was shocked because I  thought I  had a
charmed existence when it came to surgery and biopsies. After all, I  had been
through many operations and biopsies and all had been diagnosed as being benign. I  followed the skin specialist's recommendation of going into the hospital
immediately and having the "entire cancerous tumor completely removed." He said
he was sure this would be the case. The short hospital stay was an ordeal. For a facial condition

me." They also own that health is something which
comes from within and no longer believe they are the
helpless victims of disease. In reality, we are not the victims of viruses, acci
dents,cholesterol, orimbalanced uric acidlevels.When
we re-own our own power, we say, "It's my mind that
has been creating that. My mind believes that eating
liver and kidneys is going to give me a high uric acid
level that is going to give me gout. My mind is so pow
erful that if I believe such a thing to be true, it will
make it happen." It takes a high level of awareness to
accept that the mind has that much power. "Do you
mean to tell me that if I believe that eating sugar and
sweets is going to give me hypoglycemia, it will? "Yes,
indeed, it will. In going back to the physics involved, it is helpful
to remember that the body's energy field of 200 is
weak compared to the belief systems of the 400s.The
beliefs that sugar and sweets will cause hypoglycemia,
diabetes, or being overweight are sufficient to bring it
about. The explanations then given are denials of the
truth and rationalizations to justify being a victim. When we say that it is scientifically proven, it is still just
an explanation. The real science of it is the mechanism. The description of the mechanism of how this occurs
on the physical plane is still only a description of the
mechanism, not of cause. Cause is on the level of mind; effect is on the level
of body, not the other way around. Merely reversing
that understanding provides the whole key to health
and healing. Health then comes out of a positive men
tal attitude, which we have heard many times, so much 122 HEALING AND RECOVERY
so that many people are annoyed by it because it
implies that if they have a sickness, they do not have a
positive mental attitude. What is meant by mental attitude and the part that
it plays in health and freedom from sickness and suffer
ing? Primary in the unhealthy person is unconscious
guilt. The cure for that is the willingness to be forgiv
ing, even to the point of taking a course in forgiveness,
ifnecessary, such as A Course in Miracles, or participat
ing in Twelve-Step recovery groups, which are specifi
cally designed to enable one to train the mind to let go
of the tendency to criticize, attack, and judge others. These are replaced by the willingness to let go of judg
mentalism. Since the mechanism is unconscious, the
person may not see that when the mind is being criti
cal and judgmental of others, it is also critical and judg
mental of one's own self. Unconscious guilt contributes to the negative energy
that expresses itself adversely through the autonomic
nervous system and the acupuncture energy system. However, simultaneously, there is the power of refusal,
the power to deny the belief system.To own back one's
power requires realizing that it is the mind itself that is
the cause of the illness.This truth requires the willing
ness to give up the position of victim and to re-own
one's own power, which is necessary for health and
contributes to overall spiritual growth and develop
ment. The only requirements are the motivation to
move out of the negative energy patterns and the will
ingness to face the truth about ourselves and choose to
move into a positive energy field. This can actually be
done rather rapidly. HEALTH 123
The key is the willingness to look at it and say,
"Well, I don't really believe this, but it is said that my
mind has the power to create an illness within my
body, so I'm willing to look at that because I have an
open mind." As we open our mind and are willing to
agree, our intention aligns and we begin to move into
accepting what we discover. We begin to find that mov
ing into lovingness has a curative and healing effect. How is that accomplished? The willingness to forgive
can move us into the willingness to be compassionate. Having compassion means the willingness to see the
innocence within all things, which coincides with the
willingness to forgive. Out of compassion and intention
arise the power and capacity to really see into the
hearts of others and discover the innocence of the
child. Within each and everyone is that intrinsic inno
cence that never dies, no matter how long we live; it is
intrinsic to the nature of consciousness itself.The inno
cence of the child is what bought the mistake or the
negative program in the fIrst place. It is helpful to be
aware that the intrinsic innocence of the child is still
present in everyone. It is the,innocence that watches
televisi9n and naIvely buys into the negative program
ming due to its lack of discernment. The innocence of
the child has no warning within it, nothing that says,
"This is a world that is out to program you with as
much negativity as you are willing to buy." In fact, that
world gets well paid to do so because advertising is
often based on appealing to the negative energy fields. All of our fears, desires, and pridefulness are represented
below the level of 200. It takes the willingness to be 124 HEALING AND RECOVERY
aware that within us is our innocence, and that that
innocence needs to be protected. When we look at'self-care', which is the capacity
to love one's self, we fmd it now means taking respon
sibility to protect ourselves from the consequences of
that innocence and the willingness to·undo mistakes
that the mind picked up as a result.We can then han
dle looking at ourselves and healing that which we
find within us ifwe accept the awareness ofthe intrin
sic innocence of our consciousness. We see that it was
the innocence that was programmed. We then take
responsibility for that and say, "In my innocence, I
bought all that; I didn't know any better. I thought that
the right thing to do was to be judgmental, to con
demn people, and to judge them as right or wrong. Now I see that all that has made me sick, so I'm going
to let it go. "The people who were willing to look into
this and go through the processes already described
had complete, full recoveries from their illnesses. The capacity to be forgiving is within us, along with
the capacity for compassion. Out of it comes a general
attitude about the way in which we look at ourselves. From our bigness, from our greatness, we look at our
humanness through forgiving eyes and begin to forgive
ourselves as well as others for all the things that were
limitations and denials of the truth.AlI the things in the
energy fields below 200 are denials of the truth; all
those above 200 are the acceptance of that which is
true and positive. Because the body reflects what the
mind believes, and the mind reflects our spiritual posi
tion, spirit has the greatest power of all.Therefore, our
spiritual position literally determines whether we have HEALTH 125
a healthy physical body or not. Once we are willing to accept the power of mind,
we have to be attentive, persevering, and not let mind
get away with expressing negativity. We have to stop it
as soon as we become aware of it.We begin to develop
an awareness of negativity and recognize it for what it
is.We letgooffalse humility andstartquestioning such
remarks as,"Well,youknow,I'mnotverybright,"or"My
handwriting is poor," or "I gain weight eating the same
amount of food that thin people eat." The minute we
become aware of ourselves saying or thinking these
limiting, self-defeating, self-attacking thoughts, we have
to stop and cancel them. The handwriting is poor because there is a belief
system that we have poor handwriting, so we then
reverse the whole programming of the mind as far as
cause and effect. We are returning to a principle that
we can demonstrate through our own experience. It is physical and the expression of the mental, not
vice-versa. We came to the conclusion that our handwriting is
poor because the cause was in the mind, in the belief
system. It may have been a remark picked up during
childhood. Someone may have said, "Your handWriting
is poor," and from that point forward, the program is
operative. We have to look at the ingenuity of the
unconscious mind to really see it. It would be great if
one had some experience in watching hypnotic exper
iments. It has been shown that if a person is told their
legs will be itching when they awaken, and then
induce amnesia for that suggestion, when the person
wakes up, they are asked how they feel. Instantly the 126 HEALING AND RECOVERY
mind will start creating the most marvelous and
convincing argument of why the person's legs should
itch. The person doesn't just say, "Well, my legs itch." The mind always gets creative and starts explaining,


 peers,
playmates, television, and commercials. A child looks
at a commercial as though it were just as truthful as
its parents because of the child's trustingness, open
ness, lovingness, and lack of paranoia. The innocent,
trusting mind is easily programmed, and therefore, out
of its innocence, it begins to buy what it hears. The
child identifies with those whom it loves as family. As
the programs start coming in, the purity of the child
becomes programmed because of its intrinsic inno
cence. Due to that innocence, it buys such statements
as, "All of us are allergic," "Heart disease runs in our
family," or,"We all have a weight problem in our family. " All the negative programs are bought by the
child's innocence. We might say that the child's mind
is like the hardware of a computer, which will play
any software program that is installed on it. And yet,
the nature of the hardware, that which is truly the
computer itself, is unchanged. No matter what CD we
play, no matter what software programs we play on
the computer, the intrinsic innocence, purity, and
integrity of the hardware has not been sullied. It has
not changed at all. Even if all the programs are erro
neous, the hardware remains the same. Within the adult remains that same childlike con
sciousness, with its innocence, purity of motive, and
capacity to remain pure no matter what the programs
may be. It remains essential and unchanged in all of
us. It is exactly what is reading these words right now. It is the childlike consciousness, with all its purity and 384 HEALING AND RECOVERY
innocence, that is reading this teaching right now
not the person or personality, but that consciousness
in all its simple purity. Even if the person who is reading says, "I don't
believe a word of it," where does that statement come
from. It comes from another belief system that the
child bought out ofinnocence. The father says,"Don't
trust anybody," or some disappointing experience sets
up the program within the child's mind. "Don't trust
anything you hear. " So if we are saying to ourself, "I
don't believe anything he says," we are saying that
because, out of the childlike innocence, we bought
that program. "The way to be secure in this world is
to be mistrusting, skeptical, and not believe anything
you hear or you will be misled down the primrose
path. " However, the nature of the innocence that
bought that program remains the same because it is
trying to listen to the truth and discern that which is
truth out ofits hopefulness and trustingness. It is hop
ing to hear that which will be helpful, nurture life, and
relieve suffering. The cynic has been programmed to
be mistrustful. When we look within ourself now with the inten
tion of self-healing, we see that intrinsic innocence
and understand what program was set up. Now we
have to re-own that innocence which is so crucial in
all spiritual work as well in personal psychological
research and introspection. It is important to always
keep within our awareness that whatever we bought
was out of the beauty of that which we are. We
bought it out of our own love, trustingness, and
integrity because we projected our own integrity 385 DEPRESSION
onto the world and thought it was a place we could
trust in and believe anything we heard or read. We were programmed to believe that sometimes it
is very useful to lie, to tell someone that "The check is
in the mail. "We were programmed with the idea that
the only way to survive as a body in this world is to
tailor the truth a little bit (called 'creative business
ethics'), but did we not buy that out of our. own inno
cence. We thought that was what one had to do in
this world to survive, so we guessed we had to do
that. Of course, when we do that, we pay the price. Anytime we go below the line at 200, we pay the
price, which is the loss of our power within the
world. That is what the anger is all about-"I lost my
power. The source of my happiness will never be
returned to me because it is outside of myself. I have
projected it out there. " The healing of it comes from
the willingness to look at the truth of it, to say to one
self,"Out of my innocence, like other humans on this
planet, like most of us, in fact, I bought a certain way
of looking at life in which the source of happiness is,
first of all, outside myself, and secondly, it is always in
the future. " The separation from the source of happiness is
not only in space, but it is also in time, so it is some
thing that is going to come into our life tomorrow, or
the next day, or the next week, or the year after, or
when we finally. graduate, or when we reach middle
age, or when we get that big house or Cadillac. Because it is always in the future, we are always sepa
rated from the source of our happiness and never feel 386 HEALING AND RECOVERY
complete. The realization that we are the source of
our happiness, and that we can create it at any sec
ond, gives us a sense of completion. The sense of com
pletion runs concomitantly with the experience of
life, so it can be cut off at any second yet still feel
complete. If we suddenly stop writing at this moment, it is
already complete just as it is. To the best of my ability,
I have said exactly what I want to say. At this
moment, I am being with the experience of the joy
of doing the best I can. Joyfulness accompanies the
experience. There is no tomorrow about it because of
the sense of completion. If someone enjoys the pres
entation, so much the better. That is only frosting on
the cake because it is not essential. What one does in the world has to be accompa
nied by the sense of completion in the doing of the
thing itself. The payoff is not something that is an
aside, something that is outside or separate from the
doingness; it is ~he experience of it in this moment. The completion is with the experiencing right now,
not something separate from it. In that, one is then
aware of the lovingness of all experience. That is the
way one is with experience. It is the loving of life in
all its expressions, including its disappointments. It is
the ups and downs, the continual learning process of
making the mistake and learning from it, so it is noth
ing but a mistake. One might say that depression is nature's way,
God's way, and our own psychology's way of saying to
us that the way we look at our life is not okay. It is our
psychological, biological, and spiritual way; it is our 387 DEPRESSION
body,mind, and spirit saying,"Look atwhatis out; look
at what needs to be ftxed. Please understand me out
ofyour compassion; heal me; heal all of it. "The defect
is an inner sense of separation that we will not be
complete and whole unless we become united with
something 'out there' or in the future. The ego moves
from incomplete to complete. In contrast, the Self
moves from complete to complete. True happiness is. always in the 'right now' of this moment. The ego is
always anticipating completion and satisfaction in the
future 'when' a desire gets fulfilled. Clinically, there is often a difference between men
and women in the precipitating event that leads to
suicide ·or depression. Men experience the Presence
of God within them or their connection to God
very often in the form of power. The three classical
attributes of God are omnipresence, omniscience, and
omnipotence, so God is often experienced in the
unconscious of men as connection with power. Men
seek that power, and frequently. the precipitating
event leading to their depression is feeling separated
from the source of their power. In this case, the
power has been out in the world, so it would be the
loss ofa title, a business, or the status symbols that sig
nify the power; the sense of separation and vulnerabil
ity that has not really been healed remains there. Therefore, money, position, and power become the
traditional goals of men. Women commonly experience their connection
with God in the unconscious more in the form ofrela
tionships. Remember the example of the old woman
who sat in the rocking chair, rocking back and forth, 388 HEALING AND RECOVERY
staring hopelessly out the window. She had experi
enced lovingness coming through that relationship
with her son and was feeling cut offfrom it. The inter
ruption of that was the precipitating factor. We see
that the basic problem is still the same in the two
sexes; it just takes different forms and different
expressions. Depression leads us into the whole subject of sui
cide. When looking at suicide, we see that what is
desired is not really the death

1
. For heavy infestations especially with Candida albicans (fungi) this type
of formula may be used for 4 to 6 months, if needed. 2
. In spinal cord injuries (in quadriplegics, paraplegics, etc.) this formula
will help eliminate urinary tract infections. This formula may be used on
a regular basis to achieve this. Should be used with a lymphatic system
formula. 3
. In chronic conditions or heavy infestations, use a general parasiteformula. PARASITES—GENERAL USE

An ideal herbal formula especially for larger parasites, such as flukes and
worms of all types would contain the following:
Wormwood Herb
(Artemesia absinthium)
Betel Nut
(Piper betle)
Male Fern Root
(Aspidium filix-mas)
Wormseed
(Chenopodium anthelmin.) Parsley Root and Leaf

(like psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis), gangrene, AIDS, cancer, tumors,
abscesses. SUGGESTED USAGE
Add to a little water or juice. General: 1 full dropper 3 to 6 times a day. CAUTIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use during pregnancy.NOTE
In chronic conditions or with heavy infestations also use a parasite formula
for microorganisms. STOMACH AND BOWELS

An ideal herbal formula that acts like a gentle laxative, as it rebuilds, restores,
and rejuvenates the gastrointestinal tract would contain the following
powdered herbs:
Cascara Sagrada Bark
(Rhamnus pursh.) Slippery Elm Bark
(Ulmus fulva)
White Oak Bark
(Quercus alba)
Wild Yam Root
(Dioscorea spp.) Plantain Leaf
(Plantago spp.) Licorice Root

Crohn’s disease. SUGGESTED USAGE
General: 1 to 6 capsules, 3 times a day. CAUTIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONSNone known. However, avoid during early pregnancy. NOTES
1
. This type of bowel formula is a bowel regenerator, not a laxative. The
goal is to keep herbs working in the gastrointestinal tract, cleaning and
rebuilding. 2
. The goal is not to have loose stools, but nice soft stools. If diarrhea
occurs, cut back on the number of capsules that you are taking. Bowels
work on 12-hour cycles. Start with two to three capsules in the morning
and two to three in the evening. With the above in mind, I always prefer
three capsules, two times a day,
A.M.
 and
P.M. It is better to have more
restorative intestinal herbs in your GI tract than less. You want the herbs
to do their cleaning and strengthening actions there. At the same time,
you don’t want to use laxatives or produce loose stools. Pushing your
food through too fast will void their proper digestion. If you want to be
more aggressive in your GI tract, you may wish to take a stomach and
bowel formula three times a day. However, the formula you use then
should have less stimulating herbs (like Cascara sagrada, Senna, and
Aloe) and more cleaning and healing herbs (like Plaintain, Marshmallow,
and Comfrey). 3
. A liver/gallbladder flush is very important for everyone, especially those
who have small intestinal ulcers, constipation, diarrhea and high blood
pressure. (See instructions for Liver Flush in
Chapter 9
.) THYROID

An ideal herbal formula to help clean, enhance, strengthen and regenerate the
thyroid gland would contain all or most of the following in a tincture:
Bladderwrack
(Fucus vesiculosus)
Fritillary Bulb
(Fritillaria cirrhosa)
Poke Root
(Phytolacca americana)
Mullein Leaf
(Verbascum thapsus)
Bugleweed Herb
(Lycopus virginicus)
Bayberry Root Bark
(Myrica cerif)Black Walnut Hull
(Juglans nigra)
Irish Moss
(Chondrus crispus)
Cayenne Pepper Fruit
(Capsicum annuum)
Saw Palmetto Berries
(Serenoa repens)
INDICATIONS
Hypothyroidism, fatigue (also check adrenals), chronic fatigue (not from
Epstein-Barr; use a general parasite formula and a parasite formula for
microorganisms for Epstein-Barr virus), heart arrhythmias, osteoporosis,
cramps, rigid or brittle fingernails, hair loss, menstrual disorders (especially
when pain is present), arthritis, bursitis, headaches, migraines, obesity
(weight that is hard to eliminate). SUGGESTED USAGE
Add to a little water or juice. General: 1 full dropper 3 to 6 times a day. Acute: 1 full dropper every 4 hours. CAUTIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
None known. NOTES
1
. Where inflammation and bone deterioration is present (as in arthritis,
etc. ), the thyroid and adrenal glands are always underactive. 2
. Most thyroid medications (especially Synthroid®) do not affect T4 to T3
conversion well. This means that the thyroid is always hypoactive even
when blood serum levels of TSHs, T4s and T3s appear to be normal
(see
Wilson’s Syndrome). 3
. Use the Basal Temperature Test (see
Appendix A
) for a more accurate
indicator of thyroid function. 4
