 to the
perceived world and others. In our society, attitudes are studied within
the s o-called field of ‘self-improvement’ for which there are workshops
and voluminous literature. The common collective experience is that
expectations of self and others become modified with growth and
progressive maturity, along with spiritual evolution. Thus, the cultural
field of  growth attracts the progressive segment of society recently
labeled ‘cultura l creatives’ (Ray and Anderson, 2000). As a simple
exercise, merely surveying the contrasting lists, including the  one that
follows, has a fr eeing ef fect as it  brings various options to aware ness that
have been overlooked. T able 2  reveals further options and possibilities that benefit self-
awareness. Limiting attitudes have been called ‘character defects’, and
groups t hat support spiritual growth have noticed that these defects begin
to diminish as soon as they are recognized and owned. The benefit of accepting one’ s defects instead of denying them is an
increase in an inner sense of self-honesty, security, and hig her self-
esteem, accomp anied by greatly diminished defensiveness and  neurotic
‘sensitivity’ to perceived ‘slight s’. A self-honest person is not prone to
having their feelings hurt or ‘having a bone to pick’ with others. Honest
insight h as an immediate benef it in the reduction of actual as well as
potential emotional pain. A person is vulnerable to emotional pain in
exact relationship to the degree of self-awareness and self-acceptance. When pe ople admit their downside, others cannot attack them th ere. As a
consequence, one feels emotionally less vulnerable and more safe and
secure. Most domestic ar guments stem from the refusal to own or take
responsibility fo r even simple character defects, such as for g etting an
errand o r some triviality, which, oddly enough, constitutes the majority
of interpersonal conflict. Most bickering represents the endless mutual
accusations over trivialities that emotional maturity and honesty would
have prevented in the first place. Battered spouses and marital homicide
start out over mundane issues and then escalate as they trigger the release
of the narcissis tic ego to whi ch ‘being right’ is astonishingly more
important than even life itself. The key  to painless growth i s humility, which amounts to merely
dropping pridefu lness and pretense and accepting fallibility as a normal
human c haracteristic of self and others. Lower mind sees relationships as
competitive; higher mind sees them as cooperative. Lower mind gets
involved with others; higher mind becomes aligned with others. The
simple w ords “I ’m sorry” put o ut most fires painlessly. T o w in in life
means to give up the obsession of ‘who’ s at fault’. Graciousness is far more powerful than belligerence. It is better to
succeed than to ‘win’.The stre ngth to adopt positive instead of negative attitudes is already
available in the province of the will. The entreaty of Divinity for
assistance results in a transformative process that becomes more
powerful with practice because  the personality is now aligning with a
strong, positive attractor field r ather than with the weak linear ego. In
practice at the beginning, wha t may seem false or artificial becomes
surprisingly natu ral and easy be cause it is aligned with and supported by
Reality. The linear ego/self struggles to survive but the pow er of the
spiritual Self is supported by the infinite field by which life evo lves and
survives. Love summons support; anger repels it. W ith the throwing of f
of th e le ad weig hts of resistance, a cork automatically rises to th e surface
of the ocean as a consequence of its own buoyancy. Personality T raits: Character Formation. The lear ning and adaptation of constructive and more mature attitudes
result in a more  pleasant personality that is aligned with greater overall
satisfaction with  self and others. The rate of subjective happines s at level
155 is only fif teen percent, but by consciousness level 275 (Higher
Mind), the rate quadruples, to sixty percent. It w ill be discovered that the ego consists of interlocking buildin g blocks
and that to move  even one unset tles the whole pile, which then begins to
fall of its own gravity. Even a seemingly small ef fort can h ave very
major e f fects, and one discovers that just a simple smile can totally
change one’ s life. The many thousands of people who follow self-
improvement and spiritual pathways confirm the reality of this
discovery. Following is a l ist of ‘winner ’ attitudes, all of which are quite s imple to
choose and have extremely long-term benefits (adapted from T ruth vs.
Falsehood ). Life lived in the ener gy field of a calibration level over 200
is quite dif ferent from life lived below that level. The table above reveals qualiti es that are valued and supported by all
successful socie ties throughout time that calibrate over 200. The road to
spiritual awareness is supported  by the fact that higher motivations are
reinforced by ener gies that reflect power, whereas egoistic positions are
weak, limiting, and exhausting. Just as negative qualities are int ertwined
with each other, positive qualities are as well, so that progress in one area
brings surprising improvements in other areas that were n ot even
consciously addressed. From consciousness research, it is learned that adopting a positive
attitude immedi ately invites in the attractor field of an entire field of
consciousness that then unwittingly begins to alter the personality and
bring benefits to one’ s own life as well as those of others. The transition from Lower Mind to Higher Mind results in a drop of
unemployment from almost fifty percent to only eight percent. Also, the
rate of poverty drops from 22 p ercent to 1.5 percent, and dram atically,
the r ate of crim inality drops from 50 percent to only 9 percent. Similar
major benefits are reflected in all the other important areas  of life,
including educat ional level, income, marital success, reputation, personal
appearance, social approval, i nitial impression, language st yle, and
political and social views. All of  these reflect the assumption of  personal
responsibility an d thus result i n a major change in the rate of traf fic
violations, credit rating, percent of home ownership, physical health,
longevity, and very importantly, personal satisfaction. While these advantages are very evident and obvious on the personal
level, th ey become even more so when expressed collectively. The
society t hat calibrates at level 1 55 is characterized by the predominance
of underprivileged characteristics, such as poor economic development, a
low rat e of literacy, high b irth and infant mortality rates, and
unemployment rates. It is also represented by the exploitation and
repression of civil rights, rampant corruption, and gross extremes in the
distribution of wealth. These societies demonstrate pervasive poverty,
lack of civil fre edoms, the prevalence of violence and oppression, and
collectively, they are depicted as undeveloped or even quite primitive. Experiential ‘Reality’. The ego/mind presumes and is convinced that its percept ions and
interpretations of life experiences are the ‘real’ thing and therefore ‘true’. It also believes by projection that other people see, think, and feel the
same wa y, and if they do not, they are mistaken and therefore wrong. Thus, perception reinforces its hold by reification and presumptions. As h as b een des cribed, each level of consciousness is in accord with and
a reflec tion of a dominant attr actor field of consciousness by which
meaning and value are contextualized. Each person therefore lives in a
world of their own making, r einforced by seeking agreeme nt and a
variety o f rationalizations. The disparity is compensated for positively by
empathy, compassion, acceptance, and the wisdom of maturity. A
negative attitude, in contrast, sees dif ferences as sources for anger,
resentment, and other negative feelings. The que stion arises as to whethe r the experiential dif ferences are limited
just to r es interna (perception) or are due to external dif ferences in the
experiences the mselves. By clinical observation, people not only
perceive wide variation in accordance with their levels of consc iousness
but actu ally experience quite dif ferent events. T o those who are
unfriendly, other people actually ar e often cold and unfriendly; and to a
warm, l oving person, the exact, same environment is cordial and
supportive. Thu s, by virtue of what we ar e, we subtly influence events
around us. Because of a benign attitude, loving people attract positive
events, and the opposite is equally true (with karmically-influenced
variations). Even animals can intuit intention, and humans are guided by
subliminal signals that reflect intention, attitude, and levels of
consciousness. W ithin limits, w e tend to experience the reflection of
what we have become. The skeptic is d ubious about the validity of spiritual realities because
they do not have experiences such as the miraculous and therefore negate
the reality of higher dimens ions within which they are common
occurrences. The literal mechan istic mind sees all such phenomena (the

come out of the arising new consciousness. The ideas and concepts
presented here may be important, but they are secondary. They are no
more than signposts pointing toward awakening. As you read, a shift
takes place within you. This books main purpose is not to add new information or beliefs to your
mind or to try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in
consciousness; that is to say, to awaken. In that sense, this book is not
interesting. Interesting means you can keep your distance, play around
with ideas and concepts in your mind, agree or disagree. This book is
about you. It will change your state of consciousness or it will bemeaningless. It can only awaken those who are ready. Not everyone is
ready yet, but many are, and with each person who awakens, the
momentum in the collective consciousness grows, and it becomes easier
for others. If you dont know what awakening means, read on. Only by
awakening can you know the true meaning of that word. A glimpse is
enough to initiate the awakening process, which is irreversible. For
some, that glimpse will come while reading this book. For many others
who may not even have realized it, the process has already begun. This
book will help them recognize it. For some, it may have begun through
loss or suf fering; for others, through coming into contact with a spiritual
teacher or teaching, through reading The Power of Now or some other
spiritually alive and therefore transformational book or any combination
of the above. If the awakening process has begun in you, the reading of
this book will accelerate and intensify it. An essential part of the awakening is the recognition of the unawakened
you, the ego as it thinks, speaks and acts, as well as the recognition of the
collectively conditioned mental processes that perpetuate the
unawakened state. That is why this book shows the main aspects of the
ego and how they operate in the individual as well as in the collective. This is important for two related reasons: The first is that unless you
know the basic mechanics behind the workings of the ego, you wont
recognize it, and it will trick you into identifying with it again and again. This means it takes you over, an impostor pretending to be you. The
second reason is that the act of recognition itself is one of the ways in
which awakening happens. When you recognize the unconsciousness in
you, that which makes the recognition possible is the arising
consciousness, is awakening. Y ou cannot fight against the ego and win,
just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is
all that is necessary. Y ou are that light. C H A P T E R  O N E  T H E  F L O W E R I N G  O F

EVOCA TION Earth, 1 14 million years ago, one morning just after
sunrise: The first flower ever to appear on the planet opens up to receive
the rays of the sun. Prior to this momentous event that heralds an
evolutionary transformation in the life of plants, the planet had already
been covered in vegetation for millions of years. The first flower
probably did not survive for long, and flowers must have remained rare
and isolated phenomena, since conditions were most likely not yet
favorable for a widespread flowering to occur. One day, however, a
critical threshold was reached, and suddenly there would have been an
explosion of color and scent all over the planet if a perceiving
consciousness had been there to witness it. Much later, those delicate and fragrant beings we call flowers would
come to play an essential part in the evolution of consciousness of
another species. Humans would increasingly be drawn to and fascinated
by them. As the consciousness of human beings developed, flowers were
most likely the first thing they came to value that had no utilitarian
purpose for them, that is to say, was not linked in some way to survival. They provided inspiration to countless artists, poets, and mystics. Jesus
tells us to contemplate the flowers and learn from then how to live. The
Buddha is said to have given a silent sermon once during which he held
up a flower and gazed at it. After a while, one of those present, a monk
called Mahakasyapa, began to smile. He is said to have been the only
one who had understood the sermon. According to legend, that smile
(that is to say, realization) was handed down by twenty. eight successive
masters and much later became the origin of Zen. Seeing beauty in a flower could awaken humans, however briefly, to the
beauty that is an essential part of their own innermost being, their true
nature. The first recognition of beauty was one of the most significant
events in the evolution of human consciousness. The feelings of joy and
love are intrinsically connected to that recognition. W ithout our fully
realizing it, flowers would become for us an expression in form of that
which is most high, most sacred, and ultimately formless within
ourselves. Flowers, more fleeting, more ethereal and more delicate thanthe plants out of which they emer ged, would become like messengers
from another realm, like a bridge
between the world of physical forms and the formless. They not only had
a scent that was delicate and pleasing to humans, but also brought a
fragrance from the realm of spirit. Using the word enlightenment in a
wider sense than the conventionally accepted one, we could look upon
flowers as the enlightenment of plants. Any life. form in any realm mineral, vegetable, animal, or human can be
said to under go enlightenment. It is, however, an extremely rare
occurrence since it is more than an evolutionary progression: It also
implies a discontinuity in its development, a leap to an entirely dif ferent
level of Being and, most important, a lessening of materiality. What could be heavier and more impenetrable than a rock, the densest of
all forms. And yet some rocks under go a change in their molecular
structure, turn into crystals, and so become transparent to the light. Some
carbons, under inconceivable heat and pressure, turn into diamonds, and
some heavy minerals into other precious stones. Most crawling reptilians, the most earthbound of all creatures, have
remained unchanged for millions of years. Some, however, grew feathers
and wings and turned into birds, thus defying the force of gravity that
had held them for so long. They didnt become better at crawling or
walking, but transcended crawling and walking entirely. Since time immemorial, flowers, crystals, precious stones, and birds
have held special significance for the human spirit. Like all life. forms,
they are, of course, temporary manifestations of the underlying one Life,
one Consciousness. Their special significance and the reason why
humans feel such fascination for and af finity with them can be attributed
to their ethereal quality. Once there is a certain degree of presence, of still and alert attention in
human beings perceptions, they can sense the divine life essence, the one
indwelling consciousness or spirit in every creature, every life. form,
recognize it as one with their own essence and so love it as themselves. Until this happens, however, most humans see only the outer forms,
unaware of the inner essence, just as they are unaware of their ownessence and identify only with their own physical and psychological
form. In the case of a flower, a crystal, precious stone, or bird, however, even
someone with little or no Presence can occasionally sense that there is
more than the mere physical existence of that form, without knowing that
this is the reason why he or she is drawn toward it, feels an af finity with
it. Because of its ethereal nature, its form obscures the indwelling spirit
to a lesser
degree than is the case with other life. forms. The exception to this are all
newborn life. forms babies, puppies, kittens, lambs, and so on. They are
fragile, delicate, not yet firmly established in materiality. An innocence,
a sweetness and beauty that are not of this world still shine through them. They delight even relatively insensitive humans. So when you are alert and contemplate a flower, crystal, or bird without
naming it mentally, it becomes a window for you into the formless. There is an inner opening, however slight, into the realm of spirit. This is
why these three en. lightened life. forms have played such an important
part in the evolution of human consciousness since ancient times; why,
for example, the jewel in the lotus flower is a central symbol of
Buddhism and a white bird, the dove, signifies the Holy Spirit in
Christianity. They have been preparing the ground for a more profound
shift in planetary consciousness that is destined to take place in the
human species. This is the spiritual awakening that we are beginning to
witness now. A New Earth

If we look more deeply into humanitys ancient religions and spiritual
traditions, we will find that underneath the many surface dif ferences
there are two core insights that most of them agree on. The words they
use to describe those insights dif fer, yet they all point to a twofold
fund


 on the third
finger  of her  left hand. Motherhood  need not imply marriage; intimacy
need not imply marriage, but a  wedding  ring does. Relax in a  comfort -
able arm chair, or lie  flat on your back  and induce a  state akin to sleep. Then assume  the feeling  of being  married. Imagine  a wedding  band on
your finger. Touch   it. Turn it around  the finger. Pull it off over  the knuckle. Keep the action going  until the  ring has the  distinctness and  feeling  of re-
ality. Become  so lost in feeling  the ring on your finger  that when you  open
your eyes, you  will be  surprised  that it is not there. If you  are a man who
does not wear a  ring, you  could  assume  greater  responsibility. How would
you feel if you  had a wife to care  for? Assume  the feeling  of being  a hap-
pily married  man right now. 3. Question:  What must I do to inspire  creative  thoughts such as those
needed  for writing? Answer:  What must you  do? Assume  the story has already been written
and accepted  by a great publishing  house. Reduce  the idea of being a
writer  to the  sensation of satisfaction. Repeat the  phrase,  "Isn't it wonder -
ful!" or "Thank  you, thank  you, thank  you," over  and  over again until you
feel successful. Or, imagine  a friend  congratulating  you. There  are unnum -
bered  ways of implying  success, but always go to the  end. Your accep -
tance of the  end wills its fulfillment. Do not think  about getting  in the
mood  to write, but live  and act as though you  are now the author you  de-
sire to be. Assume  you have the talent for writing. Think  of the  pattern
you want displayed  on the  outside. If you  write a book and no one  is will -
ing to buy it, there  is no satisfaction. Act as though people  are hungry for
your work. Live  as though you  cannot produce stories, or books fast
enough to meet the  demand. Persist in this assumption and  all that is
necessary to achieve  your goal will quickly burst into bloom and  you will

able teacher  I know. When this man first came  to this country he  began
speaking  in a small hall in New York  City. Although only fifty or sixty peo -
ple attended  his Sunday morning  meeting, and  they sat in front, this
teacher  would  stand  at the  podium and  imagine  a vast audience. Then
he would  say to the  empty space,  "Can you  hear me  back there?" Today
this man is speaking  in Carnegie  Hall in New York  City to approximately
2500 people  every Sunday morning  and Wednesday evening. He wanted
to speak  to crowds. He  was not modest. He did  not try to fool himself but
built a  crowd  in his own consciousness, and  crowds came. Stand before
a large audience. Address this audience in your imagination. Feel you are
on that stage and  your feeling  will provide  the means. 5. Question:  Is it possible  to imagine  several things at the  same  time, or
should  I confine my imagining  to one  desire? Answer:  Personally I like  to confine  my imaginal act to a  single  thought,
but that does not mean I will stop  there. During  the course  of a day I may
imagine  many things, but instead of imagining  lots of small things, I
would  suggest that you  imagine  something  so big  it includes all the  lit-
tle things. Instead  of imagining  wealth, health and  friends, imagine  being
ecstatic. You  could  not be  ecstatic  and be in pain. You  could  not be  ecstat -
ic and be threatened  with a  dispossession notice. You  could  not be  ecstat -
ic if you  were not enjoying a  full measure  of friendship  and love. What would  the feeling  be like were you ecstatic  without knowing  what
had happened  to produce your ecstasy? Reduce  the idea of ecstasy to the
single  sensation, "Isn't it   wonderful!" Do not allow  the conscious, reason -
ing mind to ask  why, because  if it does it  will start to look  for visible  caus-
es, and  then the  sensation will be  lost. Rather, repeat over and over
again, "Isn't it wonderful!" Suspend  judgment as to what is wonderful. Catch the  one sensation of the  wonder  of it all and  things will happen to
bear witness to the  truth of this sensation. And  I promise  you, it will in -
clude  all the  little things. 6. Question:  How often should  I perform the  imaginal act, a  few days or
several weeks? Answer:  In the  Book of Genesis the  story is told  of Jacob wrestling  with
an angel. This story gives us the  clue we are looking  for; that when satis -
faction is reached, impotence follows. When the  feeling  of reality is yours,
for the  moment at least, you  are mentally impotent. The  desire  to repeat
the act of prayer  is lost, having  been replaced  by the  feeling  of accom -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenplishment. You  cannot persist in wanting  what you  already have. If you
assume  you are what you  desire  to be to the  point of ecstasy, you  no
longer  want it. Your imaginal act is as much a  creative  act as a  physical
one wherein man halts, shrinks and  is blessed, for as man creates his own
likeness, so does your imaginal act transform itself into the  likeness of
your assumption. If, however, you  do not reach the  point of satisfaction,
repeat the  action  over and over again until you  feel as though you
touched it and  virtue  went out of you. 7. Question:  I have  been taught not to ask  for earthly things, only for
spiritual growth, yet money and  things are  what I need. Answer:  You must be  honest with yourself. All through scripture  the ques-
tion is asked, "What  do you want of me?" Some  wanted  to see, others to
eat, and  still others wanted  to be made straight, or "That  my child  live." Your dimensionally larger  self speaks to you  through the  language of de -
sire. Do not  deceive  yourself. Knowing  what you  want, claim you  already
have it, for it is your Father's good  pleasure  to give  it to you  and remem -
ber, what you  desire, that you  have. 8. Question:  When you  have assumed  your desire, do you  keep in mind
the ever presence of this greater  one protecting  and giving  you your as -
sumption? Answer:  The acceptance of the  end wills the  means. Assume  the feeling  of
your wish fulfilled  and your dimensionally greater  self will determine
the means. When you appropriate  a state as though you  had it, the  activi -
ty of the  day will divert your mind  from all anxious thoughts so that you
do not look  for signs. You  do not have  to carry the  feeling  that some  pres-
ence is going  to do it for you, rather  you know  it is already done. Know -
ing it is already a  fact, walk  as though it were, and  things will happen to
make it so. You  do not have  to be concerned  about some  presence doing
anything  for you. The deeper, dimensionally greater  you has already done
it. All you  do is move  to the  place where  you encounter  it. Remember  the story of the  man who left the  master  and was on his way
home  when he  met his servant who said, "Your son  lives." And  when he
asked  at what hour it was done the  servant replied, "The  seventh  hour." The self same  hour that he  assumed  his desire,  it  was done  for him, for it
was at the  seventh hour that the  master  said, "Your son  lives." Your de -
sire is already granted. Walk as though it were  and, although time  beats
slowly in   this dimension of your being, it will nevertheless bring  you con-
firmation of your assumption. I ask  you not to be  impatient, though. If
there  is one  thing you really have  need of, it is patience. 9. Question:  Isn


20 minutes. He developed a fever, a cough after that, and so the child was fasted. The parents were naturally very concerned
and when the fever didn't come down in about three days, they became even more concerned. Many things went
through their minds. Would the child survive? He had done this once before, but he had been discovered quickly
enough to stop him before he had eaten very much. Under the stress of fear, and impatience, for the fever was
still high, the baby was weak and getting weaker, and there was no sign of improvement, the parents decided that
since the baby had not had a bowel movement, it would be best to give the child an enema. They reasoned that
the dog food was an irritant and still in the colon, causing the temperature to remain high. "We must get rid of
the irritant." So an enema was given. The child, however, was still even more listless and it did not bring the
fever down. The parents couldn't wait until the body rectified all the wrongs. As the child had not vomited we know that the dog food was at least digested enough to pass from the stomach
to the small intestine. By the time it reached the colon, most of it had been digested. The preservatives, other
poisonous chemicals, and decomposition products were absorbed from the small intestine. The time to have done
something was when the child had first eaten the dog food. V omiting could have been induced when the food
was still in the child's stomach. But perhaps they did not realize just how much the child had eaten and the child
was not yet sick. But, to give an enema after the food had already passed the absorbing area was useless and
wasted the child's nerve energy. Had the material in the colon been a great enough irritant to cause fever, the
body would have forced it out by a diarrhea.The parent's reasoning was obfuscated because of the weakness and listlessness of the child. The tendency is to
do something to make the child appear lively again. Parents forget that when nerve energy is being expended in
one direction, it is withdrawn from another. It is normal when the body is fighting off poisons that all its
energies, both nervous and physical, are directed to the area of the body that needs it most. The physical
weakness comes because the blood and nerve supply has been withdrawn from the skeletal muscles of the body
and directed inward to help rid the body of the poisonous substances. It is natural to be listless and weak under
these conditions. However, seeing a listless child is frightening and there is that strong urge to do something, just
anything, to see a manifestation of life to do nothing, I repeat, to do nothing, intelligently, at these times takes
great courage and faith in the human organism. Fevers may last for more than three days, when there is a need for it. Fasting, of course, is the quickest means to
help the body rid itself of irritants that are occasioning the fever, but it sometimes takes more than three days. We
must not panic if the fever does not subside more quickly. Children presently are developing fevers that last
longer than in former decades. I have cared for several children recently and have noticed that the fevers seem
never to quit. The children of this generation are not as strong as those of the previous generation, for many
reasons. We will have to expect more acute illness and less robust, children until we clean up the environment
and straighten out our method of growing and processing foods. The race is slowly but surely committing
suicide. Meanwhile, we must work in more harmony with nature than ever before. We must not needlessly cause the
expenditure of any vital energy of any sick person, child or, adult. We must learn to conserve energy as we have
never before conserved it, simply because there is less vitality and less functioning capacity than ever before. If child or adult develops a fever, fasting is the best means for permitting the body to rid itself of the cause. The
fever will never go as high when fasting as it does when feeding. "But," you ask, "what about brain damage if
the fever should go up to 106°F?" Remember, first of all, that cells can function only at optimum temperatures. The minute the temperature goes up too high, the cells automatically cease functioning and the temperature
spontaneously drops. Cellular metabolism contributes greatly to the rise in temperature, and when it is so hot that
the cells can no longer function, metabolism slows down and automatically the temperature drops. Actually, it is
the suppression of a fever by drugs and other measures causing retention of the poison, or the bacteria or
whatever is the occasion for the fever, that damages the brain, never the fever per se. The fever is the necessary
biological process to help the phagocytic cells eat up the bacteria or destroy and render   nontoxic, the poisonous
substance that may have been ingested. The drugs themselves are poisonous and only add to the load that the
body has to eliminate. The drugs, plus the bacteria, and bacterial toxins and other poisons in the system are what
damages the brain, not the fever which is only the body's best and speediest means of ridding itself of noxious
agents. No matter how hard it may be to sit and wait until the body heals itself, it is still the wisest thing to do.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

Q: What was the author's decision regarding their two-year-old baby's treatment when it got a fever?,
A: The author chose to fast their baby and let nature heal the body, despite the family's and in-laws' concerns.
Q: What was the outcome of the baby's fast, and how did the author feel about it?,
A: The baby's fever broke on the fifth day, and the author felt relieved and pleased that they had held out and allowed nature to heal the baby.
Q: What was the parents' mistake in their case, and how did it affect the baby's recovery?,
A: The parents gave in to their fears and gave their baby an enema, which wasted the baby's energy and prolonged the recovery. The baby took six months to fully recover from the medical treatment.
Q: According to the author, what is the primary danger in treating a fever?,
A: The author argues that the danger lies in suppressing the fever with drugs, which can cause retention of the poison and damage to the brain, rather than the fever itself.
Q: What is the author's main message regarding the treatment of fever in children?,
A: The author emphasizes the importance of patience and faith in the body's natural healing abilities, and advises against intervening or treating the fever with medication, instead choosing to let the body rid itself of the poison naturally.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Dr. Stanley S. Bass:

 seasons of the year. We were able to
average approximately a hundred miles of travel per day for eighteen days, visiting twenty-five
districts and making examinations of native Maori families and children in native schools,
representing various stages of modernization. This included a few white schools and tubercular
sanitariums. Since over 95 per cent of the New Zealanders are to be found in the North Island, our
investigations were limited to this island. Our itinerary started at Wellington at the south end of the
North Island and progressed northward in such a way as to reach both the principal centers of
native population who were modernized and those who were more isolated. This latter group,
however, was a small part of the total native population. Detailed examinations including
measurements and photographic records were made in twenty-two groups consisting chiefly of the
older children in public schools. In the examination of 535 individuals in these twenty-two school
districts their 15,332 teeth revealed that 3,420 had been attacked by dental caries or 22. 3 per
cent. In the most modernized groups 31 to 50 per cent had dental caries. In the most isolated
group only 2 per cent of the teeth had been attacked by dental caries. The incidence of deformity
of dental arches in the modernized groups ranged from 40 to 100 per cent. In many districts
members of the older generations revealed 100 per cent normally formed dental arches. The
children of these individuals, however, showed a much higher percentage of deformed dental
arches. These data are in striking contrast with the condition of the teeth and dental arches of the skulls
of the Maori before contact with the white man and the reports of examinations by early scientists
who made contact with the primitive Maori before he was modernized. These reports revealed
only one tooth in 2000 teeth attacked by dental caries with practically 100 per cent normally
formed dental arches. My investigations were made in the following places in the North Island. The Pukerora
Tubercular Sanatorium provided forty native Maori for studies. These were largely young men and
women and being in a modern institution they were receiving the modern foods of the whites of
New Zealand. Their modernization was demonstrated not only by the high incidence of dental
caries but also by the fact that 90 per cent of the adults and 100 per cent of the children had
abnormalities of the dental arches. The Hukarera College for Maori girls is at Napier. These girls were largely from modernized
native homes and were now living in a modern institution. Their modernization was expressed in7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Q: What is the quality of the dental care provided by the women in the places you visited?,
A: The operations performed by these young women on children far exceeded in quality the average that I have seen by dentists in America.
Q: What is the focus of the government's plan for providing dental care to children?,
A: The plan provides dental care to children twelve years of age and under, provided the parents express a wish that their children receive that care.
Q: What is the significance of the ancient Peruvian skulls in the study of dental arches?,
A: The skulls were significant because they revealed a high degree of physical development and a lack of dental caries, which is in striking contrast to the modernized groups.
Q: What is the purpose of the trip to Peru?,
A: The primary objective of the trip was to study the effect of the Humboldt Current on the ancient cultures along the coast.
Q: What is notable about the physical development of the Aymaras?,
A: The Aymaras, as descendants of the Tauhuanocan culture, show a high degree of physical development, with broad dental arches, wide nostrils, and excellent facial features.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>In approaching the study of the descendants of the Inca culture, it is important to keep in mind a
little of their history and persecution under the Spanish rule. To this day they are bitter against the
white man for the treachery that has been meted out to them on many occasions. Their leader was
seized under treachery. The agreement to free him, if the designated rooms were filled with gold as
high as a man could reach, was broken and their chief killed after the gold was obtained. It is
recorded that some six million of them died in the mines under forced labor and poor foods under
the lash of their Spanish oppressors. In many places they still keep themselves aloof by staying in
the high mountains of the Andes with their flocks of llamas and alpacas. They come down only for
trading. As in the past, they still weave their own garments. Indeed, they provide practically all of
their necessities from the local environment. Their capacity for enduring cold is wonderful. They
can sleep comfortably through the freezing nights with their ponchos wrapped about their heads
and with their legs and feet bare. They wear two types of head cover, one inside the other. Several
individuals are seen in Fig. 85. Many of them have faces that show strong character and
personality. The women of this district wear felt hats which can be turned up or down according to the
weather. Fine examples of weaving were worn by the women. In Fig. 86 will be seen two young men who had just come down from the high mountains to a
government school. The one in the lower photograph is still wearing his native costume. The one in
the upper has discarded his native costume for white man's trousers. Note the fine development of
his chest, the splendid facial development and fine teeth and dental arches. It is important to keep
in mind that these people are living in a rarified atmosphere and that, because of the high altitude,
they need greater lung capacity and stronger hearts than do the people living at sea level. The ratio
of oxygen content is reduced about half at 10,000 feet.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 148/250FIG. 86. The chest development, of necessity, must have
large lung capacity for living in the rare atmosphere of the
high Andes. The boy shown above has a magnificent
physique, including facial and dental arch development. Below is seen the typical clothing worn up among the
snows. Even in frosty weather they are bare below the knees. The broad dental arches of these Indians are shown in Fig. 87. Note the extensive wear of the
teeth at the upper left. Much of the food is eaten cold and dry as parched corn and beans. Such
rough foods as these wear the teeth down. FIG. 87. The superb facial and dental arch development of
these high Andean Indians is shown above. The man at the
upper left was said to be very old yet he climbs the
mountains up into the snows herding the llamas and alpacas. The teeth have a very high state of perfection. Long and
vigorous use has worn the teeth of the old people. Market days which usually occur on Sunday present an interesting scene. The Indians travel
long distances with their wares for exchange. They have no currency and exchanges are made by7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

facial and dental arch form as reported for the other groups. There is also a marked character
reaction which will be discussed in detail in Chapter 19. In Fig. 88 are shown four typical
modification patterns due to the influence of modernization after the foods of the white man have
displaced the native dietary. FIG. 88. The modernization of the Sierra Indians through the
introduction of foods of modern commerce has produced a
sad wreckage in physique and often character. The boy at
the upper left is a mouth breather because his nostrils are too
small to carry sufficient air. The girl at the upper right has a
badly underdeveloped chin and pinched nostrils. Both boys
below have badly narrowed arches with crowding teeth. An important item in the life of the Andean Indians is the satisfaction they get from chewing
cocoa leaves from which is made our modern cocaine. In order to extract the alkaloid they chew
with these leaves the ash produced by the burning of a particular plant. This drug is chewed as
tobacco, one large quid will last for several hours. Practically every Indian carries in a little pouch a
quantity of these leaves in dried form. The effect of this drug is to increase their capacity for
endurance. It makes them unconscious of hunger and fatigue. Through our interpreter we
frequently asked them regarding the comfort or nourishment they obtained from the leaves and
were told that they often preferred these leaves to food when they were on a journey and carrying
heavy loads. I was informed that they can increase the quantity of the drug used to a point at which
they are quite unconcious of pain and able to endure injuries without suffering, and operations
without discomfort. Since packets of these leaves were found in the burials near the coast, it is
clear that the drugs were used throughout Peru in early times. It is also of interest that several of
the skulls taken from the cave in the high Andes, were found with trephine operations in the skulls
similar to those found in the burials along the


, yoga sutras, translated by Satchidananda. It’ s
called Integral Y oga: The Y oga Sutras of Patanjali. That error is right in that
book—so you’re a devotee, and you read this; it’ s by Satchidananda,
translation of Patanjali. You say this one has got to be the truth. Don’ t
believe it. Don’ t believe anything unless you check it out yourself. Or have
somebody who understands how to check things out check it out for you. Which is one reason I’m working on the current book, which will give a
thousand calibrations, because a lot of people don’ t have the time and the
energy, and they’re not really interested in kinesiology. I myself am not
really interested in kinesiology any more than Galileo was interested in
telescopes. He thought telescopes were very boring, but they revealed a
staggeringly interesting universe, which is what kinesiology is to me. It’ s
rather tedious, but it reveals information you can’ t get any other way. Certain information is, of itself, just to know it can save many a lifetime
of spiritual endeavor. Some things, the information itself, is so staggering
that it instantly jumps your consciousness ahead of time. I forgot something at the start of this. “I have permission: resist” (T rue). “To go back to the beginning: resist” (T rue). “The consciousness level of
the audience is over 400” (T rue); “410” (T rue); “412” (Not true). “The level
is over 410” (T rue); “41 1” (Not true); 410 to 41 1—just remember that for
later. We usually calibrate the consciousness level of the audience before we
give the lecture and then after. If it goes down, pow! “They were okay until
they got here.”
Certain bits of information have a great value. Just to have heard it, to get
it, jumps you ahead enormously. So usually, you wait until the students are
very advanced, and then you present these concepts. I say, “Heck, let’ s put
them right in the beginning, because the information itself already is
transformative.” All right. So, we want to look through the illusion of causality, because causality
blocks, creates a perceptual block that you cannot see what is actually going
on, and you cannot really experience the Presence of God, in a way. It’s agreat blockade. The Newtonian paradigm, the world of the ego, the world of
the intellect, the way the ego’ s structured, sees a “this” causing a “that.” The
whole paradigm of our society is based on “a ‘this’  causes a ‘that.’” The
Supreme Court upholds it. Scientists verify it. It’ s built into the language. The newspaper headlines say it; the movies reveal it. It’ s all-prevailing in
our society. Consequently, becoming enlightened in this world is dif ficult,
because the mind, the ego, feelings—you’re barraged continuously, around
the clock by a paradigm of reality which is based on duality. There’ s always
a “this” causing a “that.” The whole judicial system—“I was standing on a
street corner, and there was an accident, and that gave me a heart attack!”
Right. The court agrees, gives him a half million dollars. The insurance
company pays. So, this paradigm of causality, the courts have now spread so extreme. If
I walk down the sidewalk out there and trip and fall, then I can sue this
place here. The sidewalk was crooked, or too rough, or too smooth, or there
should have been a warning sign there. If there’ s a warning sign there and
it’s lit up, it’ s only in English, you understand? It’ s not in foreign languages. I mean, I have testified in front of juries that have agreed. “Caution: wet
floor.” But it wasn’ t in Spanish. Oh, okay, there you go. And some fellow
gets here from Russia. He says, “It’ s not in Russian. I’m suing!” So you
have to have it in every language on the planet. Then he’d say, “Well, I
didn’ t see it. It wasn’ t lit up.” Oh, it wasn’ t lit up; we’ll have to give him an
award. Right? It wasn’ t lit up; it wasn’ t in every foreign language. How
about the size? “The letters were only this big, and I had trouble seeing it.”
The letters should be this big, according to the jury. So, you see how bizarre
it is. So, now, causality is a very important roadblock. It’ s a major roadblock. Practically nobody gets beyond the 400s. In our society, what percent get
beyond the 400s? Hmm. “In our society, current society, over one percent of
the population gets beyond the 400s.” (T rue.) “T wo percent.” (Not true.) It
is very rare to get beyond the 400s. Even Freud didn’ t make it, Einstein, Sir
Isaac Newton, Bacon, all the great minds. The intellect is the great block. And the reason it is such a great block is that its whole basis is causality. There is always a “this” causing a “that.” That’ s a dualistic perception;
that’s called dualism—a “this” and a “that.” That’ s why we tried to wipe out
duality when it comes to the Map of Consciousness®. There’ s no “good”
and “evil” there. It’ s all a gradation; there are no opposites.OceanofPDF.comCHAPTER 2
There Is Only One Variable
What we did in explaining how we’re going to prove the Map of
Consciousness® is applicable to all seeming dualities. In a duality, there’ s
only one variable, and it goes like this: from intense to less intense. There
are not two variables. There are not two variables—good versus evil, hot
versus cold. Cold is not the opposite of hot. Hot has no opposite. Heat is
either there or not there, but that doesn’ t make it its opposite. Electricity is
either in the wire, or it is not in the wire. Electricity doesn’ t have an
opposite called “no electric.” You can’ t send “no electricity” down the wire. You can only send electricity. This is the whole key. If you just get what I
am saying today, it advances your consciousness enormously. Things are, more or less, one variable. There are not two variables. How
much absence of Love must there be before your perception would say,
“Well, that’ s evil?” That depends, right? You’re always dealing with only an
arbitrary perception. So, the world of duality, then, is the product of an
arbitrary positionality. There is no “this” causing a “that.” That is all bizarre illusion. There is
the unfoldment of the universe as it proceeds thusly. If we look for a cause
—let’ s take cause as far as we can in the logical world. For a speck of dust
to be right where it is—there it is, right there. Anyway, that speck of dust—
it’s all in your head, there’ s no speck of dust up there. For this speck of dust,
what causes this piece—this takes something simple, a speck of dust? We’re
not talking about the whole industrial complex or the political structure of
the United States or something. We’re just talking about one lousy, little
piece of dust. For this little piece of dust to be here, what is the cause? Well,
the cause would, you know, depend on the barometric pressure today. It
would depend on the movement of the air in this room, which would
depend on the temperature, which would depend on how many people are
here and the dimensions of the room. It also depends—for a room to be
here, there has to be land; there has to be a state for a county to be in; therehas to be a planet for that to be on. That planet is not alone in the universe. It has got to be whirling around with other universes; and for the planet to
be where it is so this state can be where this county is, where this building
is, where these air currents are, and all these people are, and this speaker
here pointing his finger up in the air—that’ s all due to the evolution of all
preceding time, is it not? All of the preceding time had to evolve for all the
planets to be where they are, for the universe to be where it is, so that this
state can be this place on the globe at this point in time, where this
barometric pressure and the atmospheric pressure and these temperatures
and gradations and this light coming down and making little air currents,
and the breath from my speaking voice. There’ s an infinite number of finite
causes, acting in concert throughout all of time. All of time has to have
occurred up to the moment for this little speck. Anyhow, we want to get rid of causality. The “cause,” even within the
linear domain, of

chemotherapy and radiation and mutilated by surgery. They just ask for pain
medication and leave. Interestingly, studies have proven that you last longer if you do
nothing, rather than take a lot of the treatments that go on at this time. "We are coming to a time, particularly in our country, where there is hardly a
family that has not lost a close friend or relative to cancer. And the family has
watched this person go from fairly robust good health to a skeleton and be tortured by
the treatments. When you have had one or two friends or relatives go that way and
the doctor tells you that you have cancer, you don't jump right into the next operating

9-Year Victory Over Bone Cancer
I  would like to tell others what Dr. Kelley's book, One Answer to Cancer, did for a
number of us but more especially just how it began with me. Doctors had tenderly, but emphatically, told me that they could do nothing for my
condition. It was apparently cancer of the bone — and as lovingly as a father, with
tears in his eyes, one doctor said: "You'll get worse until —?" He left me
immediately. Somehow I  didn't feel shaken at all. I  felt so secure in God's hands. I
knew the doctor in the clinic had told my son that it was a matter of 3 to 6 months. This doctor said the spine was hopelessly deteriorating. Nine vertebrae were
collapsed. This caused cramps across the shoulders and chest. When the attacks
came upon me I  was in such pain as to have to have pain-killing relief by medication. These tablets had such severe side effects that I  could not endure them. My bones were brittle and, as the doctors told my son, they were like chalk. So
small a pressure as a bump of my elbow against the ribs would crack a rib. Faith in
God as my greatest physician helped me to hold steady until one day I  was touched
by His healing power. The healing was instantaneous as to the pain and spine. Doctor's couldn't believe this but I  never took an aspirin or any narcotic. There was
no pain or cramps. The spine was healed. At this time Dr. Kelley's book, One Answer to Cancer, was laid on a table near my
bed. So I  picked it up two or three times. Finally, I  realized I  was not gaining strength
but the opposite was true. However, I  never had another pain in my spine nor
cramps. So I  read from Dr. Kelley's book these words: "Malignancy indicates an
active pancreatic enzyme deficiency." I  began in earnest to read. Every word sounded
so logical and clear. Cancer always seemed like a killer that couldn't be controlled. The killer was too complex. But Dr. Kelley had the key. He was unselfish and tried to
put the key on the lowest shelf where all of us, little or big, intelligent or uninformed
could all reach the key to one answer! The diet and nutritional program cost a bit but
nothing compared to the fruitless efforts of the medical doctors, hospitals, etc. So, on
my bed of affliction, growing weaker all the way, I  set myself to follow each step of
Dr. Kelley's instructions. 159
Winning The Cancer War
Many times I  would think, "Perhaps I  am wrong in following Dr. Kelley's diet and
nutritional program." Our medical doctors wouldn't listen when I  told them about it. But, feeling I  had nothing to lose, I  kept on. Dr. Kelley's book is most valuable. Here,
I  who knew nothing, was free from those painful unprofitable visits to the doctor's
office. Eating differently was never a problem for me — I  had been a missionary for
40 years. If a diet would help, I  thought I  should get on it as strictly as Dr. Kelley
suggested — and not just keep eating anything I  felt like eating. So I  took everything
seriously. One year later I  felt much better; I  was up and out on the road in the
missionary services traveling 20,000 miles one summer. However, I  felt I  needed
some guidance so I  went to see Dr. Kelley. It had been a constant battle to keep on a
strict and proper diet with the stress and strain of my work. I  have gone abroad three times and carried a heavy workload in the U.S.A. to visit
among hundreds abroad and at home, and to not eat "junk" food takes a backbone of
steel and a conviction that this nutritional program is best. Stress and strain goes with
the public appearances and directional work but these five years have been good
years, although they were not without battles, but I  am able to work 12 hours nearly
every day but Sunday. Even if members of our family and missionary group have no cancer, my husband
and I  urge all to consider the value of a nutritional diet as a way of life and health. Our grandchildren are being taught the importance of proper diets, purges and
careful living. There are those around us who are dying of cancer unnecessarily. We have
suggested the Kelley nutritional program to people we've seen in need, but many
have refused to put that much effort into regaining their health and are now gone. We've seen others who have willingly read Dr. Kelley's book in time, and have found
the Key and are living examples today of what his program can do. Dr. Kelley: "When the doctor says you have cancer, he gets your attention rather
rapidly and God gets our attention rather rapidly. We address God immediately. Then
we realize God has been talking to us all along, we just haven't been listening. He's
been trying to communicate with us in several ways short of violating our own free
w ill. The reason that he created us is to let us experience life and to have free will,
and to come to him voluntarily and with love and appreciation — not by force, but
because of the love that is in our hearts. "As we address the situation of cancer, we realize that we did it to ourselves and
this is, to me, the chief characteristic of God — his respect for our free w ill. It's one of
the greatest lessons I  have learned through the cancer situation, through my cancer. God in all of his wisdom and comprehension and completeness and knowingness
does not force us to do anything — to be right, to do right, to be kind to each other —
160
Winning The Cancer War
to do anything. He has set the rules, the requirements, and the example of how we should conduct
our life activities, but we are so dumb we can't figure it all out. He has given us great
freedom. He has respect for our beings and our persons. He allows us the privilege of
getting into trouble. When we do get into trouble we turn around and blame God. Those of us who get into trouble with cancer are learning a pretty tough lesson, but
we get the message eventually. When we get the message, that it is our fault, we turn, and in our pride and
haughtiness and all the other things that go along with the proper description of us,
we humble ourselves and vow ourselves to reality and truth and righteousness, and
then God can talk to us. I  just hope those who learn this lesson, as most of my
counselees have, don't have to learn it again. Or suffer some other tragedy." Prostate and Rectal Cancer Testimonial

When I  fully realized that the forthcoming biopsy would reveal a malignancy, my
emotions completely overwhelmed me. That horrible thought which had plagued me
for years could and would come true. For many years prior to the actual operation, I  had been bothered with prostatitis. But with the absence of information and having a strong, youthful body, any thought
of potential problems were quickly dismissed. These were things that always
happened to the "other guy." As the years passed by, the problem became more acute and visits to the urologist
became more frequent. My attitude then changed to one of concern. I  was granted a brief respite from worry after a needle biopsy showed there was no
malignancy. But still there was the burning and discomfort that


 which is about the importance of per
ceived status and has to do with ownership. When
these persons read the newspaper, they are seeing the 91 STRESS
status of all that is involved, along with the status of
the people being written about. They walk down the
street and primarily see symbols of status-the labels
on clothes and the addresses. All these things about
life now become status, and these people become
interested in who others are from a status viewpoint. All these are obviously vulnerable positions of the
victim mentality, because all the positions below the
level oftruth project the source ofhappiness as being
outside oneself. Holding to these positions results in
giving one's power away. Doing so says that the
sources of meaning, happiness, and value are some
thing outside oneself; they are somewhere 'out there'. These positions come from lack. "If it is out there, it is
something I have to get. If it is something I have to
get, it means I lack it, or that something could stand in
my way of getting it. " To live in that kind of world is to always live in
danger and under threat because something outside
of oneself can block the attainment of something or
take it away. It is the world of victimhood because
people have given away their power to the world. It is often said that the sources of happiness and
stress are 'out there', and thus the hope for releasing
stress is by 'changing the world'. Stress does not exist
in the world. Instead, it is an inner experience within
consciousness itself. There really is no way one can
basically change the world to relieve stress. What,
then, can be done. We can begin to own the truth about it and have
the courage to look at the facts. The minute we do this,
we change the energy fields. As we move to Neutral,we 92 HEALING AND RECOVERY
move into a more positive space. Now there is the will
ingness to face, cope, and handle the situation, thereby
bringing re-empowerment. That means reclaiming our
power and living closer to the truth. The person who is at the level of Courage sees a
world of challenge, growth, and opportunity. It is an
exciting, fun world, a place wherein one is glad to be
alive. That person opens the newspaper and sees all the
tremendous opportunities for mankind to move into
and solve and resolve problems. One sees all kinds of
problem-solving techniques in their own mind that
theywishto try. Theworldthenbecomes exciting, one
of opportunity and growth in which one begins to ask,
"Where can I fit in. Where can I start expressing myself
and experiencing some of these opportunities. " The
kind of God one experiences in this world of opportu
nity is a God of open-mindedness. The open mind now
begins to change that which is stressful. What is stress
ful at the level of Pride perhaps becomes an object of
curiosity and an opportunity for growth to the person
at the level of Courage. Moving up to the next level called Neutral, the energy
field calibrates at 250 and has much more power than
the positions below, and the power is now being used
in a constructive direction. It is as though at the lower
levels, the antenna is first tuned to the negative; then it
moves to neutral, and finally, to the positive. One then
begins to experience life in a positive direction
because one is the experiencer. The experience is not
out there; it is within one's own consciousness. Ifa per

fulness, importance, and the need to always be 'right'. The positions of the atheist, the bigot, or the zealot
lead to conflict. These are based on the prideful belief
that "my position is 'right'; therefore, your position is
'wrong'. " With the willingness to surrender that, the
person becomes somewhat unattached. People begin
to transcend their vulnerability to the world, and the
process occurring in consciousness releases them. The
world begins to look okay, and the God of such a world
is now the God of freedom. How is that 'okayness' expressed. A person at this
level, when on the way to a job interview, thinks, "If I
get this job, it will be great, and ifI do not, that is okay,
too, because there are other job opportunities I would
really like to look at. " As a result, that person is not stuck
because they have not based their survival on anyone
particular thing. As we move into Willingness, we add intention to
the process of consciousness. It means a 'yesness', a
joining, an alignment, and an agreement with life, and
such a person begins to see the world as friendly. When
these people at the level ofWillingness walk down the
street,the God ofthat kind ofworld appears promising
and hopeful. Now their experience of the newspaper
is one of opening it up and seeing all the evidence of
man's cooperation and struggle to solve his own prob
lems. What another perceives as destruction, they see
as merely the process, or the working out, of the bal

begin to see a friendlier world and now see people as
friendly. Their perception has changed; and now 'old'
people who no longer have to'make it' in the world are 94 HEALING AND RECOVERY
frequently seen as more open to friendliness. It is now
simple to walk up to most older people and instantly
strike up a conversation. Those at the level ofWillingness no longer look at
others with a paranoid distrust or size up people to
see where they stand in a prideful world. They begin
to see strangers and older people as friendly, as well
as the friendliness of young children, and find that it
is easy to strike up a relationship with them. As we move up into Acceptance, we then begin to
accept that we are the source of our own experience
of life. The person who has reached this level of
awareness has taken back the power over their own
life and realizes that no matter where they are put,
they are going to somehow make do. Ifthey were put
on a desert island, a year later, they would have built
a tree house and would be carving coconuts. If they were put in a jail cell, they would write a
novel or maybe even sit cross-legged and go into
meditation. Others often choose to become jailhouse
lawyers and even get law degrees. The power to cre
ate the experience oflife is within. These people have
reclaimed their own power. Consequently, the God of
that kind of world and universe of experience is now
perceived as promising, hopeful, and merciful, and as
a God no longer to be feared. These people now feel
adequate and confident. Companies want to hire that kind of person to go
out after the big contracts. That person is able to
accept the ups and downs in the realities of life as
well as their own limitations. A person dominated by
pride is unable to accept limitation. When a company 95 STRESS
says, "We would like you to go to Venezuela and close
a deal," the person at the level of Acceptance feels
adequate and confident and can say,"You know, I really
do not do very well with that company, and I do not
get along with that particular man. I would do much
better in Belgium. I can sell twice as much there. Why
don't you let Jim go down to Venezuela. " There is the willingness to accept how the world
works and to avoid going into indignation. Even the IRS
has its own way ofbeing in the world. One avoids 'right
and wrong' and just accepts that is how it is in this
world and goes along with it. (Acceptance is different
from passivity. ) The beginning of the transformation of
consciousness is the realization that we are the source
of our experiences, and therefore, the world begins to
look more positive, harmonious, hopeful, and benign. Empowerment moves a person up to the next
energy field of Love. What do we mean by love. It is
not the sentimental emotionalism that emanates from
attachment or what Hollywood depicts as love. That
emotionalism coming out of a possessive ownership
of the other person, the back-and-forth control and
the power struggles that occur, the words of a song
that say,"If you leave me, I will kill myself" are not the
elements of Love. These are all the consequences of
an attachment rather than real love. Unconditional Love is a way of being with life that
nurtures, supports, and, of its own nature, is forgiving. It is the beginning of the revelation of some of the
truths of life because, within the brain, there is a
release of endorphins. (See Brain Function and

certain inner state to occur, a way of being with one's
self and one's body in the world. Consequently, the

 By transcending it, we
bring about that inner healing, which is the purpose
of this chapter. CHAPTER 13
Alcoholism
To understand the nature of alcoholism and addic
tion, we will approach the subject from the view
point of consciousness itself in order to discern the
essential nature of the addictive process rather than
its symptoms, consequences, or physical correlates. Talking about the nature of consciousness will give us. a different context in which to understand the addic
tive process and its expression as a problematic
human behavior. The Map of Consciousness will again be refer
enced throughout this chapter, as it has been very
useful in our research. It will help to make informa
tion understandable that has previously been consid
ered mystical, esoteric, or too 'right brain' for left
brain people to comprehend. On the Map, various lev
els of consciousness have been calibrated to indicate
the relative power of these energy fields and their
positive or negative direction. By studying the chart,
we will begin to understand a lot of new and useful
information about human behavior, and from that, we
will come to fully understand addictions. On the Map, note that Enlightenment, or leaving
the world of duality, calibrates at about 600. The
energy field of Courage is at 200, and Pride is at 175. We will refer to these numbers later on. It is impor
tant to notice that the direction of the arrows shows
whether the energy field is negative and not amicable
to life or is positive and supportive of life. In understanding addiction, we need to first
understand the nature of consciousness and then see
395 396
how it applies to the addictive process. We will look
at the true nature of addiction and the quality that
society missed because its understanding of addiction
was nil until the advent of Alcoholics Anonymous
(AA). Prior to AA, the recovery rate from addictions
was zero, and it was rarely heard that anybody ever
recovered from alcoholism. The truth was represented
by Dr. Carl Jung who said that science had no answer
for this problem, that something above and beyond
ordinary human experience had to be sought, and
that the answer would be found in spirituality. We will review the connection between body,
mind, and spirit. What is the relationship among the
three, and what is spirit, anyway. What is the nature
of spirit, and how does it operate in a real way that we
can verify through our own clinical experience. We
will not be discussing philosophy or theology but
instead will be exploring what we can verify for our
selves through our own inner experience. We will
look at truth as it can be experienced within our
selves and learn how this can be applied to the under
standing of alcoholism, the addictions, and its impor
tance in recovery. We will emphasize the importance of context, or
the overall way in which we hold a thing, and the
paradigm from Which to understand a subject. Context creates meaning and illuminates the under
standing of addiction. As previously described on the Map of
Consciousness, levels below 600 represent the levels
ofthe ego, which is called the'self', and within the ego
are different energy fields, as mentioned previously. 397 ALCOHOLISM
At the bottom of the Map are the energy fields of
Guilt, Shame, and Apathy, and to the right of each field
is the primary emotion of how we experience that
field in daily life. To the right of that is the process
going on within consciousness itself. That energy field
also determines how we experience and see the
world, and how we relate to the understanding of
God, which is due to the limitation of the energy field. The energy field of Shame is at level 20, and Guilt
is at level 30. These are states of negativity that are
usually experienced in the form of self-hatred. The
world is seen as a place of sin and suffering. At this
level, God is perceived to be possibly the ultimate
threat or destroyer of the soul because He will throw
the soul into destruction and hellfire forever. The levels
of Guilt and Shame are the lowest energy fields and
contain very little power. When we move up to the energy field of 50, we
discover a field of hopelessness and despair. This is
like the old lady previously described rocking back
and forth in her rocking chair, staring out the window
after she got the notice from the Department of
Defense that her son was killed in action. Her family
shakes her, trying to get her to respond, but she does
not respond to anything because, in these energy
fields, there are changes in brain chemistry. Hopelessness, despair, and depression represent
the process of the loss of energy that accompanies
the lower levels of consciousness. The world is seen
as hopeless, and if there were a God, He would have
nothing to do with us because our own self-esteem is
so low. We call it the worm's view of the nature of 398 HEALING AND RECOVERY
God. Ifwe get the person out of that very low energy
field, we can get them up to a higher energy field
called Grief. People in hopelessness cannot help themselves,
and we have to pour energy into them to even move
them up to the energy field of Grief that calibrates at
75, which has a lot more energy than hopelessness. Grief also has a certain biological purpose, for exam
ple, when the child cries to summon its mother. It has
the power to pull some kind of response from the
world. The emotion that accompanies Grief is regret,
a feeling of loss, and despondency. The process going
on in consciousness at this level is dispirited. Spirit is
that high energy out of which all life manifests. The
person in Grief then sees this as a very sad world with
an unloving God who does not really care for anyone. Ifwe go back to the old lady who is rocking back
and forth in her rocking chair and not eating or
responding, and a telegram arrives from the
Department of Defense saying that the previous
telegram was a mistake, and her sonJoey was not killed
but is still alive, the old lady just goes right on rocking
back and forth, staring out the window. If we could
pour energy into her up to the level of Grief, suddenly
she would begin to cry. The expression ofthat emotion
would indicate to us that she is getting better. Interestingly, these two energy states come out of
the failure to face the energy field that lies just above
it,which is Fear. The energy field ofFear,at calibration
level 100, is still a negative emotion as shown by the
direction of the arrow. We can run a long way out of
fear, so although the form of the emotion itself is not 399 ALCOHOLISM
constructive, the energy out of it can be utilized in a
very positive way. All these energy fields have their
upside and their downside. The downside affects us
negatively; in contrast, the upside can be very con
structive in our lives. We generally experience fear in
ordinary life as worry, anxiety, and panic, but eventu
ally, it can escalate to become paralyzing terror. Grief has to do with the past, and fear has to do
with the future. The process going on in. conscious
ness is one of deflation. The fearful animal shrinks and
hides. For example, when, as child in the third grade,
the teacher asked for a response to a question, we can
remember how we used to shrink and hide behind
the person in front of us. We shrink and become
deflated, and the perception of the world that comes
out of this energy field is that it is a frightening and
threatening place, and that God is very punitive. He is
seen as a punisher and much to be feared because of
the holding of all the senses of sin, guilt, and low self
esteem in this level of consciousness. This level sees
God as the most frightening of all possibilities. We can move a person out of Fear and up to the
next energy field called Desire at level 125, which has
a lot of energy. Desire is 'want', so its expression in
our ordinary emotions is that of wanting and craving. This can eventually become an obsession or compul
sion. We then we call it an addiction because the
process going on in consciousness is one of entrap
ment. A person becomes entrapped and is at the
effect of that level and fun by the desire. It takes on
the intensity of craving, which in turn becomes asso
ciated with an inner image. To recover from addiction, HEALING AND RECOVERY 400
it is necessary to eliminate an attractive image the
moment it emerges in the mind, whether it refers to a
sexual image, gambling, or alcohol. If the image is
allowed to linger, it gains energy and qUickly becomes
too strong to resist. Recovery depends on the willing
ness to eliminate the image immediately and decisively. Ifdelayed, the image becomes too strong to obliterate
and its attraction soon wins. It is the purpose of the marketing industry, of
course, to take advantage of our desires by creating
wanting and craving to get us

Pharmaceutical Antibiotics vs. Nature’s Anti-Parasitics

Throughout this book I’ve touched upon parasites (including bacteria,
funguses, and worms) and their role in nature. Now as we consider chemical
medications versus herbs, I think it’s important to understand two things. First, there are no such “things” as diseases—there are only varying degrees
of acidosis and toxicity. Secondly, you can’t “treat” acidosis and toxicity with
more acidosis and toxicity (e.g., chemical medications). Treatment of
“disease” symptoms by chemical medications is ludicrous, toxic, damaging to
cells, and many times deadlier. In my opinion, among the many chemical
forms of treatment, antibiotics stand out as being some of the worst,
especially in the side effects they create in your body. One of the main tenets of the allopathic medical philosophy is the “germ
theory”—perpetuated by Louis Pasteur, who believed that because
microorganisms were present in most disease processes, that they must
certainly be the “cause.” He did not consider the idea that they were only
secondary to the cause. The
