 a nursing mother. It is interesting to note that the intuition of a
mother is at its peak while nursing. The process of nursing and intuition are
also associa ted with the thir d eye chakra. Adrenal glands
The adrenal glands are attached to the top of each kidney. They are
associated with the muladhara (base root) chakra. Each of the adrenals has
two parts: an outer corte x and an inner medulla. In response to the release of adrenocorticotr opic hormone (ACTH,
which stimulates the release of cortisol) from the pituitary gland, the cortexsecretes a number of steroid hormones that directly affect
the balance of salt, water and glucose in the body. Cortisol is usually secreted by the adrenal cortex and
affects glucose metabolism according to our daily sleep
and wake cycle; its concentra tion in the blood is much
higher during the day than it is at night. During a stress
response, cortisol secretion rises in proportion to the
degree of stress; this is mor e marked when the str ess arises
from physical injury. Cortisol increases the concentra tion
of glucose in our body by breaking down proteins, fats
and carbohydrates. As a result, stress increases the level of
blood sugar, an appropriate response to acute stress to
ensure adequate energy supply for both the brain and
skeletal m uscles at a time w hen immedia te physical activity ma y be required. Besides ACTH, the pituitary produces endorphins and other related
compounds. The precise mode of operation of these compounds is still not
completely clear; however, it is assumed their pain-relieving properties, along
with other postulated effects on mood and perception, may combine to allow
life-saving exertions by a person despite serious injury, which is similar to acts
of heroism in extreme danger situa tions. The adrenal medulla is intimately associated with the sympathetic
nervous system. Its main secretion — adrenaline — is related to
noradrenaline, one of the most important neurotransmitter s of the
sympathetic system. Adrenaline secretion is initiated by direct stimulation of
the adrenal medulla b y the sympa thetic nerv es. Exposure to a stressor produces an immediate increase in sympathetic
nerve activity, which in turn results in the release of significant quantities of
adrenaline from the adrenal medulla into the bloodstream, therebypreparing the body for fight or flight. Once this hormone is released into the
blood it can quickly permeate the tissues of the body, augmenting the activity
of sympathetic nerv es. The effects of this ar e well known: increased heart ra te
and breathing rate, palpitation, trembling, hair rising and so on. Along with
these predominantly physical responses, the feedback to the brain arouses an
emotional response to stress that is normally manifested as some degree of
fearfulness and anxiety, therefore impacting the base root, solar plexus and
heart chakras. Gonads
The gonads, including testes and ovaries, are associated with the muladhara
(base root) and swadhisthana (sacral) chakras. The physical aspect of sex and
sexuality is connected with muladhara, while the physiological aspect is
connected to swadhisthana. Adrenal fatigue or depletion of physical energy
affects physical relationships. The gonads play an important role as hormone-producing endocrine
organs, responsible for producing sperm and egg cells. The manufacture and
release of sex hormones in both the sexes during reproductive life is
controlled by the hypothalam us and pituitary glands, in much the same way
they control other endocrine organs. Acute and chronic emotional stress can
affect the balance of the female reproductive system, leading to hormonal
imbalances and irregularities of the menstrual cycle along with a disturbance
or inhibition of ovulation. This is quite common in the presence of both
physical and emotional stressors. Men are also affected by emotional and
physical stress, which can lead to common sexual dysfunction such as
difficulties with erection and premature ejaculation and sometimes affect
sperm production, causing infertility. Pancreas
Most of the pancreas is non-endocrine in nature, being concerned with
producing digestive juices for the gut. Its function is regulated by the
manipura (solar ple xus) chakra. The pancreas is situa ted behind the stomac h. Embedded within the bulk of its tissue lie numerous clusters of endocrine
cells called islets of Langerhans that secrete insulin and glucagon, two
substances with essentially complementar y actions in the maintenance of
normal glucose levels. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels by encouraging body
cells to absorb more glucose, and raises blood sugar levels by mobilising the
sizeable store of carbohydrates present in the liver and converting it to
glucose. Thymus gland
The thymus gland, which is regulated by the
anahata (heart) chakra, is called a gland
although it is now accepted that its primary
function is regulatory, mainly for the immune
system. It is most active before birth and
during early life, after which it reduces in size. Despite its size in adult life it continues to
secrete significant volumes of the hormone
thymosin, w hich regulates the imm une level. The thymus is responsible for the
initiation and maintenance of the immune
response, underlying the importance of the heart chakra’s role in health
maintenance. Thymosin is responsible for the production and programming
of T-cells (a type of white blood cell), which can distinguish between thebody’s own protein and that of foreign origin such as invading germs and
bacteria or genetically mutated cells. When the system identifies such foreign
proteins it can mobilise resources to destroy and remove them. Thymosin is
also involved in the maintenance of T-cell function; malfunction or
maldevelopment of T-cells leads to overwhelming infection or the
uncontrolled multiplication of mutated cells, which may manifest as cancer
or auto-imm une disease or HIV/AIDS. Thyroid gland
The thyroid gland is shaped like a butterfly or a bowtie and is located across
the front of the upper part of the trachea (windpipe). It is associated with the
vishuddhi (throat) chakra. The thyroid is responsible for the manufacture of
hormones, which are released into the bloodstream to control the rate of
metabolism (the process of oxygen uptake and subsequent production of
energy and hea t within the bod y) in all the other tissues and or gans. While all
other endocrine glands produce their secretions when required, the thyroid
stores within itself almost three months’ supply of its hormones. In most
people thyroid production is controlled within fairly narrow limits, but severe
stress exposure may result in increased production. The vishuddhi chakra,
which is related to communication and self-expression, is easily affected by
emotional stress and bottled emotions, which may have a direct or indirect
effect on the th yroid gland as well as the sacral and heart c hakras. Pineal gland
This small organ (6 mm x 4 mm) lies deep within the brain and appears at
around the 36th day of gestation. It gains maximum development at around
seven years of age and undergoes involution by the age of 14. Pinealocytes,
the main cells contained in the pineal gland, are responsible for theproduction of melatonin, which regulates sleep and wakefulness in synchrony
with the dark/light cycle. The balance of this delicate rhythm is easily upset
by events such as changing time zones, going on night duty and stress,
causing sleep disturbance. Pinealocytes are necessary for the development
and functioning of gonads, pituitary and thyroids. Although considered to be a part of the brain, the pineal gland is outside
the brain blood barrier and lacks true nerve cells. It is associated with the
sahasrara (cr own) chakra.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

 If I turn afraid, so does my calcium; when I die, I release
my calcium to freedom before another mind captures it again. In
this way, local mind and universal mind are constantly cooperating. What the rishis saw so clearly was that the quantum eld is a
creative source  for each person to play in, like a mud bank waiting
for a child to make mud pies, mud dolls, or mud houses. You cannot
see any objects  in the featureless mud, and yet in a sense all objects
have the potential to be in it. The most famous sentence in the
Upanishads declares, “I am That, thou art That, and all this is That.”
A quantum physicist could not quibble with these assertions, once
he translated the word “That” as “the eld.”
Despite the innite power and vastness of the eld, it doesn’t take
a great leap to command it—we do that every time we have a
thought. But to gain real mastery, to make our deepest desires come
true, we must commit ourselves to reach a higher state of
consciousness. Like any force in nature, the force of awareness can
be weak or strong. It is strongest in people whose minds are
identied with the eld, weakest in those whose minds are stranded
on the surface  of life. To identify fully with the eld, then, is a
practical denition of what it means to be enlightened. Only then do
the hindrances of local reality disappear. One is free at last to join
the creative play of the universe.When people nd that their desires are beginning to come  true, in
deance of how reality is supposed to behave, the sudden inux of
power brings with it vaulting emotions—people feel jubilant and
triumphant; they feel fused with the very heart of nature (“I was
like an orphan who found the way home,” one woman remembers). Fear becomes meaningless, replaced with immense relief at the true
simplicity of life. Simplicity is the key. The rishis lived by a code that depen ds upon
magic rather than strugg le. Maharishi expresses this code
beautifully:
Keep your desire turning back within and be patient. Allow
the fulllment to come to you, gently resisting the tempta tion
to chase your dreams into the world. Pursue them in your
heart until they disappear into the self, and leave them there. It may take a little self-discipline, but be simple, be kind. Attend to your inner health and happiness. Happi ness
radiates like the fragrance from a ower and draws all good
things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others. Do
not strain after the needs of life—it is sucient to be quietly
alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more
naturally and eortlessly. Life is here to enjoy. Just by being ourselves, we are borne toward a destiny far beyond
anything we could imagine. It is enough to know that the being I
nourish inside me is the same as the Being that suuses every atom
of the cosmos. When the two see each other as equals, they will be
equal, because then the same force that controls the galax ies will be
upholding my individual existence. If a man claims to be
enlightened, I only need to ask, “Do your desires eortlessly come
true?” If he says yes, I can accept that his thinking has turned
magical. But I would also ask a second question, “On what scale do you
have your desires?” If he says his desires are for himself, I will know
that he has not broken free of local reality. On the other hand, if hesays that his desires are for the world, I will know that the entire
universe works  on his behalf. He has mastered nonlocal reality—he
is a citizen of the eld. OceanofPDF.com12
What It Means to Be Whole
To give them the benet of the doubt, Nick’s parents did not
deliberately set out to destro y him. Quite the reverse: from the time
Nick was born they treated him like a little god. All the toys a rich
family could provide were laid at his feet, and the slightest wish was
instantly granted. His infant goos and gurgles delighted his mother
so much that she could not bear to let him out of her sight. If she
was forced to tear herself away for even half an hour, Nick’s
grandparents stepped in to take her place, and they, too, loved him
so much that they never let him out of their sight, either. For three years Nick accept ed as normal the constant gaze of
adult eyes. He was much too little to suspect that he might be under
guard. Then one day his mother took him aside and tried to make
him understand something important. Thirty-ve years later, he still
remembers the intense emotion in her voice. “You came out of me, and you are a part of me. That will always
be true,” she said. “But your father and I want you to know
something. You didn’t come the way other babies did. You were
adopted.” Nick smiled, delighted by this new word. He was not old
enough to wonder how he could have come out of his mother and
been adopted at the same time. He only knew that he was even
more special than before. “I’m adopted! I’m adopted!” he kept
repeating, and he immediately rushed o to tell his best friend the
good news. It took two years before he fully grasped what being
adopted meant.“My parents have always held on to me very tightly,” he told me,
“and little by little I became aware that their love was colored by a
great deal of desperation. They were obsessed with me. The reason I
was constantly watched was that they had this morbid fear that I
would be kidnapped by my real mother, like a fairy-tale prince
stolen in the night by gypsies.”
Keeping Nick under constant  watch was the only way his parents
had of handling their fear of losing him. In itself, this anxious,
doting attention might not have been too destructive. But, as soon
became apparent, there was much more involved. “There’s something wrong with my father,” Nick said. “I guess
you could call him a misogynist, a woman-hater. He would be
shocked to hear that, becau se he is very aectionate towards my
mother, and he makes a great show of acting extremely romantic
around her, particularly in public. But in subtle ways he constantly
degrades and belittles her. I have never seen him strike her, but it
became clear to me as a young child that she lives in fear of him
and is helpless to do anything about it.”
The same fear crept into Nick’s own life as he passed the toddler
stage. He discovered that his loving father, who hugged him so tight
and showered him with gifts, could y into a blind rage without
warning. At the most unexpe cted moments he would lash out, and
the inhibitions  that kept him from physically hurting his wife did
not apply to his little boy. “My father hit me a lot, for reasons that I could not gure out. I
never really did anything that bad. My mother and I bent over
backwards to placate my father, to always stay on his good side, but
if I said something in a tone of voice he didn’t like, or if I hesitated
to obey one of his orders, he would slap my face or spank me hard,
very hard.”
Nick has guilty memories of hiding the bruises that his father
inicted with his hard spankings, of feeling like an innocent victim
and yet at the same time being inexplicably ashamed whenever he
was punished. “I want to be fair to my father,” he carefully
explained. “He didn’t push the violence to extremes. I wasn’t
battered. What  hurt so much was not how hard he hit but where thepunishment was coming from. What had I ever done to him to
deserve his contempt?”
The fact that he was beaten  for the most trivial infractions—not
picking up his socks, leaving his room untidy—made it impossible
for Nick to sort out why he was being punished. Whatever the
emotions were that drove his father, they were too alien for a small
child to comprehend, and much too powerful to defend himself
against. Although Nick’s mother feebly tried to intervene, his
father’s rage ruled the house basically without opposition. Unable to ght back physically, Nick took his cues from his
mother and turned his energies to keeping the peace. Without
protest he was drawn into a conspiracy of silence, preserving the
facade of being a perfect child nestled in a perfect family. “When I
grew up, I found out that we were living out a pattern of denial that
is very common in families like ours. But at the time, I had nothing
to comp are my situation to. My mother knew what was going on,
but she turned her back, and soon I had to accept the bitter fact that
she would not try to protect me, no matter how bad things got.”
Throwing himself into the role of model child, Nick

Pulse Testing For Allergies
    Coca's Pulse Tests are extraordinarily useful and simple tools for at -home allergy detection. My clients have succeeded at using
this approach without supervision. Coca's test works on this simple principle: pulse elevations are caused by any allergic reaction. If you know what your normal range of pulse rates are, you can isolate an offending food or substance and eliminate it. Succe ss
with Coca's Pulse Test requires only motivation and a little perseverance, because in order to test for food allergies, the diet must
be restricted for a few days and your pulse must be accurately taken at specific intervals during the testing period. The test is based on measurement of the resting pulse rate, something most people have no difficulty learning how to d o. The
resting rate is how fast the heart beats after a person has been sitting still, comfortably relaxing for three to five minute s. When a
person is active the heart beats faster than the resting rate. One measure of aerobic fitness is how quickly the h eart is able to return
to its resting rate. Well -trained athletes' hearts can adjust from working very hard to a resting rate in only a minute or so; those who
are deconditioned can take three to five minutes for their heart to slow from even mild exertion  to its stable, resting pace. Those
who cannot readily find their own pulse on their wrist or throat can inexpensively purchase a digital watch that gives a puls e
reading; this kind of watch is used by athletes to make sure their training pulse is in an ac ceptable range. Preparatory to doing Coca's Pulse Test it is necessary to as much as possible eliminate allergic food reactions. This require s the
application of discipline for a few days before testing begins. Allergic reactions can go on for several  days after a food has been
eaten and if you are having a reaction to something eaten many hours or several days previously, it may obscure a reaction to  a
food just eaten. 1. Stop smoking entirely for at least five days before you do a cigarette test;  allergies to cigarettes can take five days to clear. Besides, you shouldn't smoke, anyway! 2. For the first three days, count your resting pulse immediately after awakening in the morning (for one entire minute), and
record the reading. 3. During the first three days, take your resting pulse half an hour and again one hour after each meal. It if has elevated more
than 12 beats above the resting rate you found upon arising that morning, you may assume that some food at the meal you just ate
was an a llergen. Temporarily, eliminate from your diet all the foods eaten at the previous meal until you can check them one -by-
one a few days later. At the end of these first three days you may not have many foods left that you can eat. That is okay an d to be
expected; it is time to begin adding foods back to the diet. 4. Most people who are allergic to foods are allergic to one or more of the following: corn, wheat, milk and cheese, yogurt,
meat, alcohol, tobacco. It would be very wise to eliminate these food s too for the first three days, until they are tested. After three days on this regimen, you can assume that many of your usual allergic food reactions have ceased or at least
diminished significantly and that you probably can get reasonably accurate t esting results on individual foods. A good indicator of
having problems with food allergies in general can also show up during these initial days. If you have eliminated a large num ber of
foods and your resting pulse upon awakening has slowed down by sever al beats, you can assume you are allergic to foods you
were eating. I would not be at all surprised that by the end of the third day you were only eating a very few fruits and vegetables and ha d
eliminated everything else. A more effective variant of t he testing procedure calls for a three or four day water fast to clear all
allergies with absolute certainty, and then to introduce foods one at a time as described below. On the fourth and subsequent few days, take your resting pulse upon arising and then eat a modest quantity of a single food: for
example, eat a slice of bread, or a medium sized glass of milk, or an orange, or two tablespoons sugar in dissolved in water,  or a
few dried prunes, or a peach, or an egg, or a medium -sized potato, or a cup of black coffee without sweetener, or a few ounces of
meat, or a stick of celery, or half a cup of raw cabbage, or an onion, or a date, or a few hazelnuts, etc. Count the pulse on e half
hour later and again one hour after eating the test item. If any food raises the resting pulse over 12 beats per minute above your morning resting pulse, that food should be eliminated;
you are certainly allergic to it or can't digest that much of it. If your pulse has not returned to its morning resting rate one hour
later, you are still having an allergic reaction to the food you ate previously and cannot get a decent result on another food  until
either your pulse slows again or until the next morning. You may, however, continue to eat other foods that you know do not
provoke allergic reactions. Because reactions to a food may not clear for many hours, it is wise to eat only small quantities  of
individual foods if you wish to test many of them in a single day. If a food causes no acceleration of pulse (at least 6 beat s above
your estimated normal maximal) that food can be tentatively labeled non -allergenic. After a few days of testing one food an hour, you will become weary of the routine and wish to eat more normally. It may also
occur that you cannot test more than  one or two foods a day from the very first day because allergic reactions do not clear quickly
enough. No problem, the testing period can go on at a lower level of intensity for many weeks, trying one new food each morni ng
upon arising. As you eliminate a llergens from your diet one by one, your resting pulse should drop somewhat and it should be
easier to discern allergic reactions. After you have worked through all the items in your normal dietary, it would be wise to  retest
the foods a second time, break ing your fast with one different test item each morning. This second testing round may reveal a few
more allergic reactions that were obscured by other allergic reactions the first time through. Vitamin and Supplement Suppliers

        They had not known Marie was a lesbian,
much less that their daughter was flirting with (from their view) obvious q uackery. Their daughter needed immediate saving and
her parents and brother (the one who had abused her) flew to Oregon and surprisingly appeared the next day in a state of viol ent
rage. They threatened lawsuits, police, incarceration, they threatened to h ave their daughter civilly committed as unable to take
care of herself. They thought everything Marie had done for the last three years was my fault. I was lucky to stay out of jai l. Of
course, all of this was why Marie had not told them in the first place ; she had wanted


 avoid it. She suffered agonies with each
menstruation, going to bed every month and relieving her pains with drugs. A fast of ten days was sufficient to permanently end her menstrual difficulties and shortly after
the fast, she conceived for the first time, subsequently giving birth to a healthy baby boy. Another
woman much less vigorous and sick for a number of years, took several short fasts before she
140conceived. Her previous period of sterility was also of about ten years duration. The young Italian
woman whose story was recounted at the beginning of this chapter had a fast of thirty days. Absolute sterility is a comparatively rare condition in both men and women and fasting can do
nothing in such cases. When sterility is due to conditions of disease, rather than to defects of
development, there is reason to think that both men and women can almost always profit by a fast
of sufficient duration to enable the body to clear its abnormal states. 14137
Fasting in Pregnancy
When the rational mind recognizes that pregnancy is a normal biological process, it at once
realizes that it should be unaccompanied with any pain, discomfort or abnormal condition. It is
observed that animals in their natural state do not suffer with nausea and vomiting during
pregnancy. The condition is said to be unknown among so-called primitive women. Only about
half the women in civilized life so suffer. All the evidence points to the conclusion that nausea, “morning sickness” and vomiting are not
essential developments during pregnancy. Mild and evanescent in the majority of the cases, severe
and lasting in some cases, perhaps leading even to the artificial ending of pregnancy “to save the
mother’s life,” the cause is still a matter of much debate. If it can be understood that disease is the outworking of natural law, we may understand that
under certain states of the organism of woman, when pregnancy occurs, there is an urgent need to
put the physiological house in order. It is common to say that the nausea is a “reflex” and that it is a “reaction,” but these words
explain nothing. It is necessary that we understand the nature and cause of the condition that gives
rise to the “reflex” or to the “reaction. ”
Nature plays no favorites, is no respecter of persons. If a woman suffers with nausea and
vomiting during pregnancy, this is because she has built her suffering by a way of life that has laid
the foundation for trouble. Her suffering is not due to the fact that she is pregnant, but to the fact
that she is toxemic. While we recognize that pregnancy is a normal physiologic state, we must
also recognize that, in
modern life at least, there is much that is not physiologic associated with the whole reproductive
process and that these conditions of abnormality have the same general causes that are responsible
for other structural and functional abnormalities of the body. In her efforts to promote life and its highest welfare, in her never-ending effort to endow each
new form of life with the finest that can be given, nature tries to give each child that is born the
best that life affords. She is, therefore, interested in the environment of the unborn child and
especially in its nutrition. The unborn child feeds upon substances supplied by the mother. If her blood is physiologically
suitable to the highest interests of the evolving embryo her pregnancy will be comfortable and even
pleasurable. If she is toxemic, there must evolve a process designed to prepare a better source of
nutriment for the embryo. The physiological house must be put in order to the end that the embryo
may have a clean, wholesome, and well balanced habitat during its intra-uterine existence. This does not mean that the uterus alone must be made acceptable for the evolution of the new
life, but that the whole body of the mother must be made ready. For unless there is systemic
preparedness, there can be no local readiness. We observe that the general metabolism of the pregnant mother is accelerated; glands that have
been all but dormant awake to renewed activity, and, if the way of life of the mother is at all
wholesome, her health improves. Symptoms from which she has long suffered often clear up and
she appears well again. The nausea and vomiting are merely parts of this general renovating
program. 142The toxemic woman is declared to be unfit for the new being. The toxins that have been retained
and stored in the organism until its chemistry is profoundly altered must be removed. This calls for
a radical eliminating process; it demands a temporary cessation of eating. There is rebellion in the stomach; it rejects food. The liver speeds up its excretory function. Much bile is regurgitated into the stomach and is vomited. There may even develop a psychic
revulsion to food, so determined is the organism to have its way and to clean house. If we can once
understand that nature is trying to provide a clean house in which to evolve the new life, we can
understand the need to cooperate in the work and not to throw monkey wrenches into the vital
machinery. The suppression of vomiting by the administration of drugs, always of doubtful efficacy, seems
only to make matters worse and to prolong the period of nausea and vomiting. The woman who
clings to the outworn idea that she needs plenty of “good nourishing food” and persists in eating in
spite of her repugnance to food, even to the sight, odor or thought of it, only adds to her discomfort
and prolongs her suffering. The physician, called to care for a case of morning sickness, tries
everything, seeking to satisfy
the patient’s demand for relief from symptoms, until the nausea and vomiting come to a
spontaneous end, but he fails to do her any real good. It has been said that all this discomfort and annoyance constitute a rather rude, impolite and
unpleasant way of asking a woman to stop eating. But it is more than just a command to cease
eating; it is a process of purification. It is a means of freeing the body of accumulated toxin. The
ignorant will eat in spite of the evident demand that no food be eaten, but nature gains her point in
the end; she simply throws the food back. Breakfast, noon meal or dinner, it is unwanted. When the pregnant woman feels the first faint beginning of nausea and vomiting, she should
voluntarily cease eating at once. Neither she nor the child will be hurt by ceasing to eat. A
prolonged fast might injure the baby, but a few days of abstinence in the early days of pregnancy,
such as the woman with morning sickness will have to undergo, will help her. She should go to bed and keep warm. She should throw off any fears she may have and poise her
mind. No drugs should be taken. My experience has shown that three to ten days are enough to
enable the body to put its house in order and there is no more nausea and vomiting throughout the
remainder of the pregnancy. A period of light feeding of fruits and uncooked vegetables should follow the fast for a few days
before the normal diet is resumed. By normal diet I certainly do not mean the conventional diet. Pregnant women tend to eat too much. They overeat on proteins. They need the very best of
proteins, but not in large quantities. Their greatest need, however, is for fruits and green non-
starchy vegetables. In ordinary cases of morning sickness three to four days of fasting are sufficient to restore
comfort and enable the woman to eat without distress. I have had one case that required eleven
days for comfort and digestive ability to return. There may be severe cases that will require a longer time than this; I have simply never had
such cases. But I never had a patient fail to become comfortable in a few days. There can be no
reason to abstain from fasting under such conditions and at such times. Indeed, what is to be gained
from eating when there is nausea, no desire for food, and when it is known that the food will be
ejected as soon as eaten. Fasting is the only logical procedure under such conditions. 143One Closing Word
What I have said here, in sum, is that the body has wisdom in its very cells, and can heal itself, if
we will give it the chance to heal. The fast is one way of cleansing the physical self, of giving rest
to the body’s organs, often overtaxed by our own wrong living and wrong eating and over-activity. I have said that there is wisdom in the fast, in rest, in quiet, in right living and right eating and
right thinking; wisdom in recognizing the toxic effect of over-eating, over-tension, drinking;
wisdom, indeed, in avoiding all the various poisons that so many of us put into ourselves, into our
minds and our actions. There are no medical dogmas in this book, nor is the fast itself cited as a
cure
 for anything. It is
only a way of rest whereby the body—this complex and tremendous organism—will have a chance
to perform its self-restoration to health and well-being, without strain or interruption, in quiet and
peace and healing calm. 144Index

 "sweet tooth" and ate
heavily of white bread, syrup, cakes and pies, or that he had a strong
appetite for beef, gravy and pork ch ops, or, again if he consumed
enough salads and drank enough pure raw milk. Common sense teaches me that th ose signs are not confined to
the mouth. If a person's diet is not properly balanced, or if he has
sinned against his body by too much or too little exercise, too little
sleep or excesses of any kind, there will be warning signs that nature
has put out. It may be a pimple, a fever sore, a stiff joint, a pain in the
chest, a cough or shortness of breath. Whatever the sign, it is
important that the person, or his family physician or other trained
observer, read it, interpret it and see that the ill to which it points is
corrected. There is an old saying: "Be sure your sins will find you
out. " That principle applies forcefully to sins against the body. Eat the
wrong foods, eat too much, overwork or mistreat the body in any way
and there will be warning signs. Happy the man who heeds them. Above all others, the mother should  be well drilled in reading those
bodily signs and signals and should know what to do whenever the
symptoms appear. Suppose the law let a man set himself up in an
office to practice dentistry, to re pair decayed teeth, pull teeth and
make new sets without training for the job. Well, when she undertakes
to rear a child, the mother starts on a more complicated job than running a dental office. Along our principal highways, enterprising State engineers have
installed ingenious signs which instan tly warn the driver of a curve to
the right or left, a winding stretch, a crossing, a dip or other bad spots
ahead. Now, a kind nature provides even more warning signs, even
flashing lights that cannot be missed, along life's highway. To disregard those signs is to invite tr ouble, even to risk fatal disease. Nature's signals tell us what we ourselves are creating. For most
diseases, like most highway wrecks, are man-made. Quicker than most sins against one's body, wrong eating habits exact their penalties. Eating the right food in the right quantity, but in sufficient variety to give zest to the appetite, is mightil y important because food keeps the
body in repair, keeps the life processes going. Take a gentle white rat, a cat or any pet and feed it on the sort of
diet that many parents feed their children, too heavy on white bread
and sweets, too light on raw vegetables and milk, and the pet will soon
become nervous and vicious. That is why I say that the way to prevent, or cure, juvenile delinquency is to see that all the children, including the under-privileged, get the food which they require for
healthy bodies. Build sound bodies and you build steady nerves, clear
brains and good morals. There are persons who have learned somehow in their youth to
read and heed the signs and signals along life's road. As a result, each has lived long without aches and pains. Each has gained added
wisdom with experience and so has found the world growing more
beautiful and life more enjoyable as the years pass by. When I try to tell people about diet or the care of their bodies
otherwise, some protest: "If I can't enjoy the things I like I had as well
die. " Now, I'd like to send the person who gives me an answer like
that to consult one of those sages who has found the secret of the good
and happy life. Then he might re alize how a perverted taste has
betrayed him with a counterfeit happ iness. It is easy to cultivate an
appetite for natural foods and to cultivate health habits which not only
build sound bodies but nourish right thinking and the moral nature. CHAPTER 38. BORN AGAIN I EXPERIENCE A NEW LIFE
 Only recently a group of my fellow townsmen, on a Hereford
street corner, were talking about my  seemingly inexhaustible fund of
health and vitality. One old friend of mine recalled that he had seen
me when I was so weak that had I ventured just one more step it would have been my last. That incident in May, 1925, marked a
turning point in my life. It was on that May morning I began to
experience a rebirth. Then, in my 57th year, having seen a great light that revealed to
me the double sources of my almost fatal sickness, bad eating and bad
thinking, I began the upward climb which, except for a few stumbles, I
have maintained since. Day by day I can think of myself as getting
better and better. I am continually getting new ideas as to ways of
living—ideas that seem to pop up in my head out of nowhere—and
nothing will satisfy me but to put those ideas down on paper and, so
far as practicable, try them out in my daily life. It appears to me, therefore, that I have robust health in my 80s,
when I'm due to be old and feeble because I have continually revised
my way of living. My secret, I'd say,  is to eat natural, unrefined, life-
giving foods and, the while, to think life-giving thoughts. I know well
enough that my bodily machine, given the right materials to work
within, can keep itself in repair. One day I ran across a carpenter at work and gave him a puzzle
to solve:
"What is the difference between a man and a building. " When he gave up, without even venturing a guess at the answer, I
explained that a building cannot repair itself. It has no life and no power to think. Man, a living organism, as a general rule, can effect
his own repairs. If he believes in himself and obeys Nature's laws, he
will have but infrequent occasion to  call in the repair man (doctor). Nature will do the job for him. The trouble is too many people are set in their ways. By force of
habit, they go through the same old round day after day. They get up
at the same hour, ask for and get the same old breakfast, do the same
routine work. Whatever they eat is cooked up in the same way, as on
the day before. When lunch time and supper time come the process is repeated. Consequently, there is too much sameness in the diet. When it is subjected to, I should say punished by, that sort of
routine, the body does not get all the elements which it needs for
essential repairs and does not get the elements in the right proportion. Maybe the body comes up short of protein, calcium or phosphorus;
but it is more apt to be found short on iron, magnesium, boron, iodine
or some other 'trace element.'It is probably short also on the vitamins
that keep life processes running smoothly because most persons
subsist largely on white bread, potatoes, cakes, pies and meat. The
typical diet is too heavy in sugar, starch, fats and oils. It is no wonder, under those circumstances that the bodily
machinery gets out of kilter and th e person is plagued with aches and
pains. More often than otherwise when he goes to the doctor that
person gets medicine to soothe his pain but nothing more. He is not told that he must revise the family eating and other living habits which
made him sick in the first place. For that reason, I say that, to do the
job which they are supposed to do, both medicine and dentistry must
get a new viewpoint. They must center their attention on finding and
removing the causes of sickness or tooth decay, and not on relieving
symptoms or repairing damage. If people must be slaves to habit—whether in eating, working for
a living or amusing themselves, it seems to me, they at least might
take pains to see that those habits  are constructive, not destructive. They should learn enough about diet; that is, about what elements the
body and what foodstuffs will supply those elements, to pick out a
well-balanced, health-giving menu a nd then make that habitual. Next,
they should vary the day's work with healthful recreation. To sum up, people ought to cultivate health-building, not tearing-down habits. Why should a man be a slave to routine at all. Why should he not
begin each new day highly resolved to be master of his little world,
not a slave wearing a ball and chain. I think I know the reason why: Routine requires no effort of the mind. One can just drift through the day, do what is required half au tomatically and get by with it. By
contrast, thinking is hard work. So me philosopher truthfully has said
that "Nothing is so disturbing as a new thought. " Yet, to me, nothing
is more thrilling and rejuvenating than a new idea. Since I had my
rebirth visions of new ways of lif e are coming to me continually. A
flood of thoughts will pour upon me as I lie awake by night until I feel
compelled to get up, turn on my lig hts and write down what has come
to me. Even so during my years of health and constantly renewed life,
I have contrived to keep certain key thoughts always before me. In
particular, these verses from the Gospel have been my mainstay and
guide:

These compounds are found in the sap alone. Traditionally they are known as laxatives, and in high
concentration on their own, they can be toxic, but within the complex environment of the Aloe Vera plant
they are not. They are excellent analgesics, or pain killers, and they also possess powerful antibacterial, antifungal and virucidal activity. In order to obtain the painkilling benefit as well as the ability to enhance absorption from the gut, some
sap containing anthraquinones should be present in any Aloe drink. When present it is obvious, as
anthraquinones impart a bitter taste and add to the yellow or orange colour of the gel/sap mixture. Aloin
in high concentration is toxic to fibroblasts so too much Aloin in topical products would kill these cells in
the dermis and retard healing by lessening fibre production. However, they do have some beneficial skin
effects which will be described later. Chemistry of Anthraquinones

The main anthraquinone found in the sap, latex or resin in Aloe Vera is Barbaloin which is synonymous
with Aloin. There are also the derivatives which are anthrones and chromones. These form the phenolic fraction of the sap. Barbaloin is an anthrone - c - glycoside

After ingestion Aloin is converted by bacterial action in the large bowel to Aloe-emodin-9-anthrone. This is the active ingredient which causes an increase in water content of the large intestine by inhibiting
electrolyte absorption and stimulating electrolyte secretion. It may also stimulate peristalsis. Minerals

Calcium Magnesium
Sodium Zinc
Iron Manganese
Potassium Copper
Chromium

There are about thirty vitamins, minerals and trace elements which are essential for good health and
should be consumed on a regular basis. Many of them work together and depend on others in order to
function properly. I have listed the more important properties and functions below. Calcium

Primarily has a structural role in bones and teeth but it is also essential for cellular structure and nerve
transmission. It needs a balance of phosphorous and magnesium to work effectively and Vitamin D is
required for its absorption. Manganese

 This is a component of many enzymes and is necessary for the activation of other enzymes. These
substances are complex proteins which act as biochemical catalysts thereby speeding up the route of
clinical reaction in the plant. Sodium

This is a very important mineral, responsible for preventing body fluids from becoming too acid or too
alkaline. It is also involved in the electrical conductivity in muscles and nerves as well as the uptake of
nutrients by individual cells. Copper

Also a component of a number of enzymes and involved in enabling iron to operate as an oxygen carrier
in red blood cells. Magnesium

This is intimately involved in calcium metabolism during the formation of bone and is needed by nerves
and muscle membranes to allow them to conduct electrical impulses. Potassium

Like sodium, this is involved in the acid-base balance in the body and also electrical conductivity in
muscles and nerves. Zinc

Is involved in major metabolic pathways contributing to the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates
(sugars) and fats. An inadequate intake would have an adverse effect on any tissue that dies and is
renewed rapidly such as skin, gut lining or the immune system. Recent studies have shown that the
desperate condition of schizophrenia may be associated with zinc deficiency. Chromium

This is necessary for the proper function of insulin, which in turn controls blood sugar levels, so all
diabetics require a good intake of chromium. Iron

It is the "haem" part of haemoglobin in red blood cells which enables the transport of oxygen around the
body as oxyhaemoglobin. Iron deficiency anaemia is very common in those with poor nutrition and in any
case where there is depletion through chronic blood loss e.g. excessive menstruation. The Vitamins

Vitamin B1 Vitamin B12 Folic Acid
Vitamin B2 Vitamin C (Vitamin C)*
 Vitamin B6 Beta Carotene (Vitamin A) (Vitamin E)*
Choline Niacinamide (Niacin)

*Extra vitamins are often added to the natural ones in the plant extract as they form part of the stabilisation process which ensures that the commercial product remains as near to the natural juice as
possible, and also acts as a preservative. Vitamins A, C and E

These are the important antioxidant vitamins, which are essential to fight the dangerous free radicals. They influence the immune system and Vitamin C, particularly, assists in wound healing whereas
Vitamin A is required to maintain normal and night vision. Free radicals are constantly being formed by normal body processes, but they are also produced by any form of combustion such as smoking, exhaust fumes, radiation and even the burning of food, such as on a
barbecue or in a frying pan. They will try to oxidise tissues and cause great damage triggering everything
from cancers to cataracts, arterial disease and premature ageing. Look what oxygen does to metal when it
oxidises it. It produces rust and eventually destroys it - powerful stuff. These oxidising free radicals must be neutralised by the antioxidants, (the main ones are Vitamins A, C
and E), but also by the mineral selenium and micro-nutrients called bioflavonoids, so I doubt whether you
can have too many antioxidants in your diet. The B Vitamins, including Choline

These are associated with the production of energy and with amino acid metabolism, so associated with developing muscle mass. Vitamin B 12

This is one of the few plant sources of this essential vitamin needed for making red blood cells, and deficiency will lead to anaemia. Folic Acid

Is very important in the development of blood cells as deficiency will cause anaemia. Amino Acids

The human body requires twenty-two amino acids for good health and all but eight can be made in the
body. The others, called essential amino acids, have to be taken in as food and together they form the building blocks of proteins from which we manufacture and repair muscle, etc. I will not list all the amino acids but suffice to say that Aloe Vera provides twenty of the twenty-two
required and seven of the eight essential ones. The missing amino acid is tryptophan, although Bill
Coates, an American pharmacist and Aloe expert, claims it has this one too. I am not so sure, but to get seven out of eight has to be pretty good anyway. The Acemannan Story

Acemannan is a B - (1,4) - linked acetylated mannan. It possesses three pharmacological actions:

a) primary anti-viral activity b) secondary immunomodulating activity
c) tertiary activity in reducing opportunistic infections

It also acts synergistically with other drugs such as Azidothymide (AZT) and Acyclovir. These
effects have been used in the treatment of an onchogenic retrovirus, the feline leukaemia virus, which causes a multi-syndrome disease in infected cats and has been recognised as an animal model
for human immunodeficiency virus infection. Enzymes

Many enzymes have been identified in Aloe Vera. Some of the most important include:

Peroxidase Cellulase
Aliiase Carboxypeptidase
Catalase Amylase
Lipase Alkaline Phosphatase

These enzymes help to break down food and therefore aid digestion. Some break down starch and sugars,
for example, amylase, while others catalyse reactions to break down fats, for example, lipase. The
nutrients in our food therefore, can be more efficiently absorbed. Sugars

Aloe Vera contains both monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose and polysaccharides of which
perhaps the most important are the polysaccharides. A most significant polysaccharide has been isolated
by Carrington Laboratories in the USA under the trade name 'Carrisyn'. This demands special attention in
relation to the immune system and will be discussed in a later chapter. This group of polysaccharides has been called gluco-mannans or polymannose because molecules of
mannose are linked to molecules of glucose but there are a few more of the mannose molecules. They
vary in size tremendously from a few hundred daltons (the unit of measurement) to four million daltons
and are very special sugars because of their mode of absorption from the gut. Most sugars are broken
down by enzymes, absorbed piecemeal and are then reconstituted, but the long chain gluco-mannans are absorbed whole by certain cells lining the digestive tract. This action is called pinocytosis, which results
in these sugars entering the blood stream in their original form. Different members of these compounds are thought to improve arthritis, hypertension and indigestion as
well as lower cholesterol, improve liver function and promote the healing of bone by increasing uptake of calcium and phosphate. In a concentrated form they have been shown to help the inflammatory bowel
conditions of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In vitro acemannan has been shown to enhance the capacity of cytotoxic 'T' lymphocytes by almos t
50%. It has also been seen to activate macrophages (chicken) to produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide
acts as cytotoxic and cytostatic effector in killing tumour cells and intracellular parasites. Drugssuch as Interferon can also induce nitric oxide production by macrophages. Nitric oxide may be a
n
important factor in mediating immune regulation and host defences in mammalian and avia n
species. The stimulation of


 that make you
feel sick or bad, do your best to change them to thoughts that support your
feeling good, and if that seems impossible, then do your very best to say
nothing at all. Refuse to talk about disease, and work to activate thoughts
that predict recovery, feeling good, and perfect health. Picture yourself as
healthy and free of disability. Be on the lookout for the opportunity to
literally say to yourself, I feel good. I intend to attract more of this good
feeling, and I intend to give it away to any and all in need of it. Step 7: Seek out and cherish the silence. Many people who have
suffered with long-term illnesses have been able to return to their Source
through the channel of nature and contemplative silence. Spend time in
quiet meditation visualizing yourself coupled with the perfectly healthy
field of intention. Commune with this Source of all that is good, all that is
well, and practice accessing this high spiritual energy, bathing your entire
being in this light. Meditation is always healing for me. When I’m fatigued, a few moments
in silence accessing higher, loving, kind vibrations energizes me. When I
feel out of sorts, a few moments in quietude making conscious contact with
God provides me with all that I need to not only feel good, but to help
others do the same. I always remember Herman Melville’s timely words:
“Silence is the only Voice of our God. ”
Here’s an excerpt from a letter written to me by Darby Hebert, who now
lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. For more than two decades, she struggled
with feeling used as well as watching her own physical conditiondeteriorate. She opted for nature, silence, and meditation. I repeat her words
(with her permission) below:
For a year I lived out of boxes in an empty house. Then, to
remove myself from this negative energy field and the scorn of
people who were sitting in judgment, I moved 2,000 miles away
to Jackson Hole. The magnificence, grandeur, and peace of this
sacred, enchanted place began to work its magic immediately. I
have lived in silence for almost two years. Meditation and
appreciation have become my way of life. Leaving low energy,
and moving into high energy, with your help, has worked
miracles. I have moved from hemorrhaging eyes, internal
lesions, aseptic meningitis, and severe muscle pain to a health
that includes all-day mountain hiking and cross-country skiing. I am slowly getting off of the dangerous drugs used to control
the diseases, and I know I can do it. You have shown me the way
to being well, and I will forever be grateful. God bless you a
thousandfold, Wayne, for following your bliss and helping
others to find theirs. I hope there will come a time when I can
express my gratitude in person. Until then, I’ll see you in the
Gap. Step 8: To be health, you must totally identify with the wholeness that
you are. You can stop seeing yourself as a physical body and immerse
yourself in the idea of absolute well-being. This can become your new
identification card. Here, you breathe only wellness, you think only perfect
health, and you detach from appearances of illness in the world. Soon you
recognize only perfection in others. You stand firm in your truth, reflecting
only thoughts of well-being, and speaking only words of the infinite
possibility for healing any and all disease processes. This is your rightful
identity of wholeness, and you live it as if you and the Source that creates
all are one and the same. This is your ultimate truth, and you can allow this
dynamic aura of wholeness to saturate and animate your every thought until
it is all that you have to give away. This is how you heal, from that inner
knowing and trust of your wholeness. Step 9: Allow health to stream into your life. Become conscious of
resistance, which interferes with the natural flow of healthy energy to you. This resistance is in the form of your thoughts. Any thought that’s out of
sync with the seven faces of intention is a resistant thought. Any thought
that says that it’s impossible to heal is a resistant thought. Any thought of
doubt or fear is a resistant thought. When you observe these thoughts, note
them carefully, and then deliberately activate thoughts that are in energetic,
vibrational balance with the all-providing Source of intention. Step 10: Stay immersed in a state of gratitude. Be grateful for every
breath you take. for all of your internal organs that work together in
harmony. for the wholeness that is your body. for the blood streaming
through your veins. for your brain that allows you to process these words
and the eyes that allow you to read them. Look in the mirror at least once
every day and give thanks for that heart that continues to beat and the
invisible force on which those heartbeats depend. Stay in gratitude. This is
the surest way to keep the connecting link to perfect health clean and pure. One of the messages of Jesus of Nazareth is apropos of all that I’ve
presented in this chapter on having a healing intention:
If you bring forth what is inside you,
what you bring forth will save you. If you don’t bring forth what is inside you,
what you don’t bring forth will destroy you. What is inside you is the power of intention. No microscope will reveal
it. You can find the command center with x-ray technology, but the
commander in the command center remains impervious to our sophisticated
probing instruments. You are that commander. You must allow yourself to
be in vibrational harmony with the greatest commander of all and bring it
forth to serve you, rather than allowing yourself to be in a state of disrepair.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

If you could observe their inner world, you’d discover that they’re hurt by
pain inflicted on others. They don’t have the concept of enemies, since they
know that all of us emanate from the same divine Source. They enjoy the
differences in the appearance and customs of others rather than disliking,
criticizing, or feeling threatened by them. Their connection to others is of a
spiritual nature, but they don’t separate themselves spiritually from anyone
regardless of where they might live or how different their appearances or
customs may be from their own. In their heart, connectors feel an affinity to
all of life, as well as to the Source of all of life. It’s because of this connecting link that connectors are so adept at
attracting into their lives the cooperation and assistance of others in
fulfilling their own intentions. The very fact of feeling connected means
that in the connectors’ minds, there’s no one on this planet who they’re not
joined up with in a spiritual sense. Consequently, living in the field of
intention, the entire system of life in the universe is available to access
anything their attention is on, because they’re already connected to this life-
giving energy system and all of its creations. They appreciate this spiritual
connection, and expend no energy on depreciating or criticizing it. Theynever feel separated from the assistance that this entire life-giving system
offers. Therefore, connectors aren’t surprised when synchronicity or coincidence
brings them the fruits of their intentions. They know in their hearts that
those seemingly miraculous happenings were brought into their immediate
life space because they were already connected to them. Ask connectors
about it and they’ll tell you, Of course, it’s the law of attraction at work. Stay tuned vibrationally to the Source of all life that intended you, and
everyone else here and all of the powers of that field of intention will
cooperate with you to bring into your life what you desire. They know that
this is how the universe works. Others may insist that connectors are just
plain lucky, but the people who enjoy the power of intention know
otherwise. They know that they can negotiate the presence of anything they
place their attention on as long as they stay consistent with the seven faces
of intention. Connectors don’t brag about their good fortune, but are in a perpetual
state of gratitude and radical humility. They understand how the universe
works, and they stay blissfully in tune with it, rather than

bio-degradable acidic liquid is the natural bi-product of fermented
vegetables, fruits, and grains. It breaks down odors, helps kill off germs,
bacteria, mold, and cuts through grease and grime. On top of all of this
you don’t have to wear rubber gloves and a heavy duty mask when
using it! I love it because I don’t feel guilty using it around the many
dogs that come through my home (mine used to sneeze at the offensive
smell of toxic cleaners!) and I know it is much safer for little ones than
pretty much any other option. Some people hesitate when it comes to
using vinegar (“won’t it smell bad?”) but I can guarantee you it smells a
whole lot better than the other stuff out there. I actually think that the
smell of plain vinegar is nice and clean-and it doesn’t linger like you
think it might-but this scented vinegar, along with scented baking soda,
is truly my staple cleaner. These are three of my favorite kinds.Scented Vinegar

preferences. -Pour a little of your scented
vinegar onto a clean cloth and
wipe a surface-smelling it directly
from the bottle doesn’t always
give the most accurate idea of

just smearing it around) while the soap also cuts through the smudges. A few drops of olive oil will give your

toilet bowl cleaner. Before making the switch to natural cleaners, I had
bought some in a spray can and thoroughly filled my toilet with it. I had
lit a match (one of the best deodorizers in an emergency!) and tossed
it into the toilet, not realizing the implications. With a whoosh flames
erupted all around the rim of the toilet bowl. Frantically huffing and
puffing I blew them out and flushed the toilet. It was a terribly unnerving
experience, not helped by my ever-thoughtful significant other who said
afterwards, “what if you had been sitting on it?!”
Granted this was just an all-around silly situation, and looking back I
really only have myself to blame for being so ignorant, but you live and
you learn. Y our toilet bowl erupting into flames is probably one of the

Q: What is the purpose of the study described in this chapter?,
A: The study aims to investigate the effects of direct current on the lung tissue, which can be used to understand the development of structural changes and their relation to the surrounding tissue.
Q: What is the significance of the findings in this study?,
A: The study demonstrates the development of corona structures in the lung and breast tissue, which can be used to understand the underlying pathophysiology and develop new therapeutic approaches.
Q: What is the mechanism of the observed changes in the lung tissue?,
A: The observed changes in the lung tissue are attributed to the electric field-induced energy release, which leads to the development of "A" and "B" zones.
Q: What is the significance of the electric potential in the breast cancer?,
A: The electric potential in the breast cancer is negative in relation to the surrounding tissue, indicating the presence of a negative charge.
Q: What is the goal of the proposed mechanism in this study?,
A: The goal is to use the concept of activated biologically closed electric circuits (BCEC) to explain the development of structural changes in tissue injury and its relation to the surrounding tissue.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>In other cases no significant deflection of potential
was found in relation to the surronding lung tissue. It
is now apparent that electric potentials of mammary
neoplasms in relation to their surrounding normal tis
sue are similar to those of pulmonary tumours. The same types of M-and W ·shaped profiles of pOtential
have been encountered in breast as in lung. Different tissues grow at different rates. A differ
ence of electric pOtential should then arise as a "devel
opmental potential" for abnormal tissue in relation to
the "functional demand pOtential" of the surrounding
normal tissue. If this reasoning is correct, then one
might expect thar a rapidly growing tumour should
present a correspOndingly large pOtential difference in
relation to its surroundings. No such correlation bas
yet been observed. On the contrary, at least in the
lung, any histologic or cytologic type of tumour may
pOSsess an electropOsitive, electronegative or zero pa·
tential. Potential measurements therefore can not be
used for differential diagnosis. This finding has led to
the bypatbesis that a common denominator explaining
the varying palarity and amplitude of tumour pOten
tials in relation to surrounding tissue may be the de
generative phenomena often encountered in rumours. A degr•ding process such as SpOntaneous necrosis or
bleeding in lung tumours was earlier proposed to pro
duce a nonspecific physicochemica l pOtential of tissue
injury. The degrading of tissue in this view represents
a dynamic process. Depending on the phase of the

11-8U586 Nonlntstrilm degradation, electric palarization may be either pOSi
tive or negative. Regardless of palarity, BCEC chan·
nels will aid in levelling of the pOtential difference. We
do not know how intensely the pOtential difference is
being generated or how efficiently the levelling of the
potential gradient takes place. The magnitude of mea
sured pOtential difference is therefore of little impar
rance. We CAn only conclude that potential differences
can be recognized between tissue regions, a prerequi
site for electrogenic transpOrt of material between the
two tissue regions. The total amount of transparted
material does depend, however, on the factor of time. TranspOrt S of considerable amounts of material are
therefore passible at relatively low gradients if the
transparts take place over long periods of time. Three of the breast carcinomas (Figs. XVI: 8, 9, 10)
showed pasitive pOtentials in relation to the grounded
subcutaneous electrode. Two of these cancers also
contained calcium depasits, which makes it likely that
they (at least for some time) contained regions which
were relatively electronegative, th.ereby attracting ca
tions such as calcium ovrr a closed electric circuit. Next we will study the morphologic appearance s of
altered tissue around and inside breast tumours. These
alterations will then be compared with the appearances
and biokinetic background of similar structures
around pulmonary carcinomas. Finally we will show
also that many of the structural changes in the breast,
like those in the lung, can be produced by experimen·
tal palarization of tissues over closed electric circuits. B. Radiating structures
Infiltrating duct cell carcinomas accompanied by fi. brosis represent the most common type of breast can
cer. The fibrosis commonly appears in a stellate radia
ting pattern about these tumours. Although these so
called scirrhous carcinomas represent 70 per cent of all
mammary carcinomas (55), variably pronounced peri
focal fibrosis is also seen around other rypes of breast
carcinomas, i.e., around medullary and lobular carci
nomas. On the other band, any kind of breast cancer,
including infiltrating duct cell carcinoma, may appear
without fibrosis. Fibrosis in breast, moreover, is also observed
around nodular mammary tuberculosis (65). Scleros·
ing adenosis, fibroadenomas, chronic mastitis and
healed fat necrosis are Qthcr bc-n.ign conditions pre
senting "productive" fibrosis (55). Fibrosis around mammary carcinomas is, therefore,
a common but nonspecific feature of the disease. The
validity of the term "scirrhous carcinoma " as a charac·
teristic feature of a specific type of carcinoma is there
fore questionable. BCEC in cancer of the breast 211 The literature on breast cancer caJls radiating struc·
tures by many names: spicules, cicatricial changes,
sunburst changes, stellate strands, productive fibrosis,
scirrhous changes, spiculae, spiculations, perifocal
striate fibrosis, striae, productive fibrosis or hyalino
sis, long radiating fibrous tentacles, "Krebsfiisse",
dendritic margins and shaggy margins. Histochemically, radiating structures are character
ized by fibrotic material containing elastin, collagen
and hyaline components (7, 20, 49). Near the tumour
the radiating structures may contain blood vessels,
extravascular white blood corpuscles and also carcino
matous cells, often arranged in rows. Sometimes can
cer cells are found isolated, forming discontinuous
streaks or islands within the fibrotic tissue. Distant
from the tumour the peripheral parts of radiating
Structures usually contain only fibrotic material with
out other cell or tissue components. For simplicity and
accuracy of description, then, the nonspecific term
radiating structures is here introduced as a term suitable
for radiographic descriptions. Radiating structures are believed by some examiners
to represent a reaction of tissue in the surroundings of
a tumour and arc therefore not to be regarded as
produced directly by tumour growth (20, 55, 68). The
opinion has also been put forward that radiating scar
tissue (and adenosis) is involved as a primary factor in
the growth of breast cancer (6, 12, 34, 48, 67, 86) but
this has been doubted by McDivitt, et a!. (27), Haa
gcnsen (47), Fenoglio and Lanes (33), Tremblay (90)
and Azzopardi (9). An antigen-antibody reaction is also considered to
take place around tumours ( 15, 25), leading to the
formation of fibrin and hyaline as well as an amyloid
like substance (89). Radiating structures do not develop from the tu·
mour itself, according to von Albertini (3), but more

Children  of the  Light,  of the  One  Great  Father,  the
"Mighty  I AM  Presence". How  fortunate  you  are after
long,  long  centuries  of your  pilgrimage  upon  Earth,  in
various  embodiments  similar  to this;  always  reaching  out
thru  the Heart. Yet the intellect  has been  constantly  refus-
ing the Feeling,  the Action  of the Heart;  having  forgotten
completely  that  the Heart  was  the Place  of Divine  Action. It is True  today,  as it was  in the Beginning;  because  your
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"  is anchored  in your  Heart. It
makes  your  Physical  Heart,  the Heart  of your  "Mighty  I
AM Presence"—in  action. As you  come  to know,  that  your
Presence  is above  you,  then  giving  It your  attention,  it
brings  into  your  outer  world  of activity,  the Power  of your
Presence—whose  Anchorage  in the octave  of the human
Life,  is in your  Physical  Heart. Will  you  be kind  enough,  Precious  Ones,  to hold  that
thought  tonight—while  I am dictating  to you;  and  feel  It
earnestly,  because  it is My Desire  to do a Definite  Work,
while  These  Words  are being  voiced  to you. As you  know,  beginning  in San  Francisco,  I came  at
Beloved  Saint  Germain's  Request,  to assist  the People  of
Earth. I came  forth  from  My Home  in the Light,  after  hav-
30 DISCOURSE  III  31
ing rendered  the  Service  in India,  as described  in the
"Magic  Presence. " Saint  Germain,  after  working  for so many  centuries  for
mankind,  determined  to try to awaken  people  again. Every
time  He would  raise  them  to a certain  point,  rebellion  in
the human  feeling  at the discipline  required—for  the Re-
lease  of the Mighty  Energy  from  their  own  God  Presence,
would  swing  them  aside. In Our  Discussions,  We had  to decide  what  was  the most
Powerful  means,  by which  This  Assistance  could  be given
mankind. I said  to Him:  "I am willing  to try with  You  and
make  a Final  Effort,  to release  the Light  within  enough  of
mankind,  so the people  may  have  the Blessings,  which  It
holds  for them". The Light  in your  body  comes  from  your  "Beloved
Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  nowhere  else. The  persons
who  do not believe  the "I AM  Presence"  is there,  as de-
scribed  in This  Chart,  will  remain  in their  chains. No one
may  say they  shall  not do so, if they  wish. That  is within  the
choice  of the Individual;  but I tell you,  never  in the history
of the Earth,  has there  been  such  Tremendous  Release  of
Light  and  Energy  to bless  mankind,  as is coming  forth  at
this time. We are not compelling  humanity  to accept  and  use This;
but We can and  do give  It forth  with  Greater  and  Greater
Release  of Power  and  Energy;  as the students'  attention  to
their  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  prepares  them  for It. If they

world  which  can prevent  their  Freedom,  Success  and  their
Ascension. I want  you  to realize  tonight,  if you  will,  Precious  Ones,
there  is no time  in human  Life  and  experience,  when  man-
kind


 in
the physical,  any  more  than  We  would  intrude  into  your
physical  home  without  your  invitation;  or your  friends  in
the physical  world  would. Oh,  now  and  then  one  would,
but most  of them  would  not intrude,  without  your  invita-
tion. If you  do not want  something  undesirable  in your  home,
do not invite  it! There  are many  ways  of invitation. You 332 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
can by the feeling,  invite  a thing! You  can by the intellect,
invite  a thing;  and  you  can by taking  your  physical  body
into an environment  of the thing,  invite  it. You  know  the
old statement—"Certain  of mankind  rush  in where  angels
fear to tread." That  is constantly  going  on among  mankind. Would  you,  if you  saw  a building  in your  city  where
every  immoral  or destructive  force  and  action  was  going
on, deliberately  walk  into  it? Not  if you  were  wise. I say
this to you,  as students,  knowing  the Power  and  Protection
of your  Presence. It is just  the same  as you,  in your  calling  forth  the Pres-
ence  and  issuing  your  Mighty  Decrees. If you  do not bal-
ance  that  by Self-control  in your  feeling  world;  you  are not
going  to get the results  you  desire. Just  because  you  issue
your  Decrees  and  call  the Powers  of the Presence  forth,  it
does  not mean,  you  will  have  Perfection. You  must  make
some  effort  at Self-control,  in order  to balance  the condition
of the Powers  which  you  are calling  forth;  because  they
grow  greater  and  the energy  grows  more  powerful. Won't
you see that ? One thing,  I want  to say so very  much,  tonight,  to the
young  people  here  and  to the young  people  everywhere:
"When  you  come  to know  your  Great  Presence  of Life;
and you  begin  to feel  Its Great  Power  surging  forth  in Its
expression  of Divine  Love  do not interpret  it as falling  in
Love. If you  have  felt or experienced  inharmony  in your
home  or your  associates;  then  you  find  some  person  with
whom  you  feel  very  harmonious  always  be careful  and  do DISCOURSE  XXII  333
not interpret  it, as humanly  falling  in Love. That  is perhaps
the greatest  danger  among  the  students  today. We  have
seen  a number  succumb  to it. Stand  guard,  Beloved  Ones! You can  love  just  as greatly  without  caressing  each  other,
as you  can  by holding  each  other  in your  arms. That  is
where  mankind's  danger  is today. The outer  world  has taught  Individuals,  the very  things
which  release  the pent  up feeling  of all mankind. It rushes
forth  and  is uncontrollable;  but when  you  understand  how
to govern  and  guard  the feeling  of kindliness  and  harmony
which  goes  forth,  you  make  it a blessing  to others. Then  you
will never  fall a prey  to the sinister  force,  by the Out-pour-
ing of your  Divine  Love  to another. Remember! This  is
very  vital! We want  to forestall  all of these  things. Remember! The  need  has been  so great  for the Protection
of America;  and  all so urgent,  the Messengers  have  not had
time  to take  up these  many  things,  except  occasionally. So
when  We call  it to your  attention,  just  make  a note  of it if
necessary;  so you keep  yourselves  reminded  of this  particu-
lar activity. It means  everything  to you! IF IN YOUR  ENDEAVOR  TO  POUR  FORTH  DI-
VINE  LOVE,  IT BECOMES  QUALIFIED  AS HUMAN
DESIRE,  THEN  YOU  HAVE  WASTED  YOUR  TIME
AND  ENERGY  AND  MUST  START  ALL  OVER
AGAIN. Use  this  for an illustration,  if you  like. I am
flashing  These  Words  to the Messenger. My  Out-pouring
of Divine  Love  to you,  so far transcends  anything  you  are
yet aware  of, there  is no comparison;  but  could  any  one 334 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
qualify  My Love  in any  way  with  the human ? This  is the
way mankind  should  feel  to each  other. I SAY  TO YOU,  GENTLEMEN,  IF THERE  BE ANY
ONE  OF  YOU,  WHO  CANNOT  LOOK  UPON
WOMEN  WITH  A CLEAN  AND  PURE  DESIRE,
THEN  YOU  HAVE  MISSED  THE  GREATEST
BLESSING  LIFE  HOLDS  FOR  YOU. LADIES,  IF
YOU  CANNOT  DO  THE  SAME  THING—IF  YOU
CANNOT  LOOK  UPON  MEN  WITHOUT  THE
HUMAN  DESIRE,  THEN  YOU  TOO  HAVE  MISSED
THE  GREATEST  JOY  AND  BLESSING  OF  LIFE. WHEN  YOU  COME  TOWARD  THE  GOAL  OF  AT-
TAINMENT,  ALL  HUMAN  DESIRE  DOES  CEASE
TO BE. Replacing  it comes  the Greatest  Power  of Divine
Order,  producing  Divine  Happiness,  producing  Perfect  Ac-
tion and  Direction  of the  Forces  of Life  and  Love  thru
your  Being. That  is why  Self-control  in all things,  is neces-
sary! THERE  IS LOVE,  WISDOM  AND  POWER  IN THE
TRIANGLE  OF  LIFE. IF YOU  TRY  TO  USE  ONE
POINT  OF  THE  TRIANGLE  OF  LIFE  WITHOUT
BALANCING  WITH  THE  OTHER  TWO,  YOU  ARE
GOING  TO  HAVE  DISTRESS,  FOR  LIFE  IS BAL-
ANCE! LIFE  OUT  OF  BALANCE  MEANS  SUFFER-
ING! IF YOU  USE  POWER  WITHOUT  WISDOM
TO GOVERN  IT  AND  LOVE  TO  TEMPER  IT,
EVERYONE  WILL  FEAR  YOU  AND  SOON  YOU
WOULD  NOT  HAVE  A FRIEND! IF YOU  USE  THE DISCOURSE  XXII  335
POWER  OF  LOVE  POURING  FORTH  WITHOUT
WISDOM  TO  GOVERN  IT,  THEN  IT BECOMES
HUMAN;  OR  BECOMES  HUMANLY  QUALIFIED
AND  THEREFORE  MISUNDERSTOOD. Do you  not see how  in the lack  of Understanding  of all
Life means,  you  have  constantly  been  misusing  that  which
would  otherwise  produce  Perfection ? You  have  done  this,
by your  lack  of Understanding  and  wrong  qualification  of
the one  Mighty  Energy  of Life! Suppose,  one of you  poured  forth  a great  Power  of Divine
Love  and  Blessing  to another;  and  the one receiving,  would
interpret  It in human  qualities,  you  would  have  lost  the
Blessing  completely. Do you  not see that ? See how  man-
kind  in the great  energy  which  would  so bless  Individuals,
in their  mistaken  qualification  of it have  been  producing
the opposite  effect  of what  they  intended—if  not at first,  it
grew  into  that. In This  Explanation,  I am charging  into  your  feeling
world,  the  Comprehension  of it—the  anchoring  of My
Power  to hold  this  sustained  for you,  if you  care  to accept
it. I would  not  intrude,  I assure  you,  if you  do not  care
to do this! It is here  ready  to serve  you,  but I would  like  so
much  to set you  Free. If you  care  to accept
