 higher Self. The progressive loss of
identification with the small self and the increasing
identification with the Presence, along with the will
ingness to surrender life and all ofits aspects to the will
of God, become the very core of the person's spiritual
exercise and experience. The acute catastrophic experience is a key learn
ing opportunity that teaches us to go to the very core,
to the very essence of the experience, to see what it
is and handle it at the level ofexperiencing within the
energy field of consciousness itself. There is the will
ingness to surrender and to let go of wanting to 260 HEALING AND RECOVERY
change what happened 'out there'. There is the letting
go of wanting to control by thinking about it and try
ing to handle it with the intellect and the emotions. There is the willingness to surrender to the essence
of the experience without calling it anything, or label
ing it, or putting names on it. There is the willingness
to handle the energy field of it and go directly to the
inner experience. The surrender to the inner experi
ence is the open doorway to the experience of some
thing greater than the small personal self. Each catastrophe, therefore, is a repeat a. ld repre
sentation of another opportunity for this great spiritual
learning experience; therefore, people who have been
through great catastrophic experiences express their
gratitude. Often people say, "Although I wouldn't
want to live though it again, I am very grateful for
that experience. " How could a person be grateful for what the world
considers a terrible catastrophe or a dreadful, progres
sive illness. What they learned out of the catastrophe
was of such a great dimension that the price was worth
it because, through the realization of truth, they discov
ered the reconnection with the essential core of their
beingness. As we grow spiritually and become spiritually edu
cated, it takes less and less to bring about the willing
ness to face this inner experience. It could be said that
a person's 'bottom of the barrel' gets progressively
raised. The person does not have to go through agoniz
ing pain before they are willing to let go and surrender. More and more there arises a willingness to do it on a
daily basis so that it becomes part and parcel of one's HANDLING MAJOR CRISES 261
life, with the constant looking at how one is trying to
control things, or trying to change God's will, or how
one is going to try to change and control God. More
often there is the willingness to totally surrender at
great depth, and then one sees that surrender occurs at
different depths. In ordinary life, we surrender a little bit. Under
greater pressure, we are willing to surrender more
and realize that we do not have to put ourselves
under catastrophic pressure in order to be willing to
surrender at great depth. The transformation of per
sonality, the whole shift in one's spiritual position, tra
ditionally comes from surrendering at great depth. What does it mean to surrender at great depth. How
can we surrender at great depth without having to
put ourselves through a terrible emotional catastro
phe in order to accomplish the same spiritual work. By seeing the essential nature of the process, we
become educated. Our positions shift and we are dif
ferent in the way we are. We are willing to be with life
in all its expressions. The willingness is then experi
enced as an inner state of aliveness. Arising from that
is the willingness to take the chance because we now
know that we are accompanied by something greater
than the personal self. It is not the personal self that
has to handle what comes up in life. The Infinite
Presence that is always with us is more powerful than
the human will and ego. The self brings pain and
suffering; the Self radiates healing and peace. CHAPTER 9
Worry, Fear, and Anxiety
As discussed previously, holistic health uses the phrase
"body, mind, and spirit" frequently, so it will be helpful
to understand more about it. What does it really mean. Is it just a catch phrase or a slogan. Is'spirit' a meta
physical abstraction or a religious dictum. Is it a fantasy
of people who are not very well connected with the
real world. Defining this relationship again will help us
to speed up our work through greater understanding. Again, we want to review how human experience
comes about and also look within ourselves to see
where this phenomenon actually occurs. In looking at
the relationship of body, mind, and spirit from the
viewpoint of experience, some things may sound
somewhat startling, such as the fact that the body can
not experience itself. That may be a surprising thought
because all ofus tend to think ofourselves as being the
body and to think, "I am the body. " However, this is not
true because the body is unable to experience itself. For example, my left arm cannot experience its own
left armness. There are sensations coming from the
body, but I am not experiencing the body. Instead, I am
experiencing the sensations of the body, but curiously
enough, they cannot experience themselves either. The
sensations coming from the arm have to be experi
enced somewhere, however, which is in the mind. Ifwe have an incision in the brain that deletes part
ofthe operating mind, or at least the way it operates on
the physical plane, we fail to experience the opposite
side of the body. This is very common after a stroke
where the patient is unable to experience in mind
263 264 HEALING AND RECOVERY
even the existence of a portion of their body. Thus, the
body cannot be experienced without the sensation,
and the sensation can only be experienced in mind. Interestingly, the mind cannot experience itself. A
thought cannot experience its ow~ thoughtness, a
memory cannot experience its own memoryness, and
a fantasy cannot experience its own fantasyness. That
which goes on in mind actually has to be experienced
in an energy field that is greater than mind itself, which
is called 'consciousness'. Consciousness enables one to be aware of what
goes on within mind and is the basic reason for anes
thesia. With anesthesia, consciousness is deleted, which
results in there being no awareness ofwhat is going on
in mind. With no consciousness, there is no awareness
of mind or body; with no mind, there is no awareness
of sensations or the body. Consequently, we will notice
by watching ourself throughout the day that all of our
experiences are being experienced in a more general
way than realized and in a more general field of expe
rience that is almost diffuse. It is almost as though it is
everywhere in space, and this is within consciousness
itself. It is an interesting experiment to find out where we
think we really experience a thought. Most people
think it is in their heads, but that is the thought about
a thought. If we ask them to now let go of any belief
about where they think they are 'experiencing a
thought and instead point to exactly where a thought
is being experienced-the radical truth of where the
phenomenon is occurring-they learn that there is no
particular place that thoughtness occurs. All they can WO RRY, FEAR, AN D ANXIE TY 265
say is that thoughtness is occurring, and they have an
awareness of the thoughtness, but they cannot put
their finger on where it could possibly be-no partic
ular place where it is being eXPfrienced in a general,
overall way. It is very necessary for us to know this because
some of the techniques we will use cancel a lot of the
belief systems that are at the basis of human suffering. Consciousness itself is like a movie screen upon
which what is chariging is experienced. Ifwe look at
it, we will see that all experience is experience of
change. The movement we experience is the coming
and going, the ebbing and waning, and the flux. The
reason we can experience that which changes is
because it is being experienced from a background
that is unchanging. It is because the movie screen is
standing still that we can see the movement of the
movie. Therefore, what changes is what is experi
enced, and it is experienced in consciousness itself,
which has no exact location. The Functional Hypoglycemic
Before explaining fear and anxiety as an emotional
level of consciousness (the major source), it is impor
tant to identify a frequent source of those emotions,
which has a physical basis. A frequent source of anger
and other negative emotions is the physiological
problem of 'functional hypoglycemia' Oow blood

stopping all sugar intake and noticing the disappear
ance of the negative symptoms. It can be verified by a

water supply is guaranteed free from highly harmful fluoride. ( see Chapter 5., Pg. 24, pp. 6 ) The
safest way to ensure freedom from impurities, toxic chemicals and above all fluoride, is to set up
a home distiller. Many kinds of distillers are available in various price ranges. Choice must depend on cost
and on the amount of water the household may need. The patient alone will use up 2-3 gallons
in every 24-hour period; more, if other family members also eat Gerson food and/or wish to use
enemas. A distiller needs an electric connection and an extra water faucet; many patients install theirs
in the laundry room or the garage. The machine needs to be detached and cleaned every 3 days. Seeing the sludge left behind will convince anyone of the need to purify water as thoroughly as
possible. Distillation works by heating water to the point of it becoming steam, which is run through
a tube that causes it to cool and condense back into water. Since minerals, various impurities and Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comadditives do not turn into steam, they stay behind, leaving the cooled, condensed steam free from
harmful components. However, volatile liquids, such as benzene fractions, also boil away, and
get condensed back into the purified water. To remove such items, all distillers should contain a
small tube of carbon pellets, so that when the condensed water drips back into a fresh container,
it passes through the carbon filter, which removes the unwanted volatile items. It is sometimes claimed by health professionals that distilled water “removes minerals from
the body” and shouldn’t be used. But they are wrong. The minerals found in water are generally
inorganic and are therefore poorly absorbed or downright harmful, e.g. sodium or calcium. On the
other hand, the patient is virtually flooded with the easily absorbed organic minerals contained in
the large amount of juices drunk throughout the day; the “loss” of minerals contained in tap water
is actually a gain. Cleaning Chemicals
Cleanliness is of course all important in the Gerson household, but, as stated before, special
care must be taken not to use toxic products. Here are the ones to avoid:
Chlorine : this is not only bleach, but also a powerful disinfectant, able to kill or control all
kinds of germs.. For that reason it is present in almost all kitchen cleansers (also in swimming
pools and in tap water!). Chlorine is harsh and unsafe, able to displace iodine from the thyroid
gland and must be avoided. There are a few kitchen cleansers that do not contain chlorine—try
to find one. You can also produce your own by mixing malt vinegar with water, half and half,
and decanting it into a spray-pump bottle to clean glass or polish kitchen surfaces—but keep off
wood. Plain soap and hot water are also recommended. To remove lime scale, soak a piece of cotton in white vinegar, wrap it around the faucets in
your kitchen or bathroom, and leave for 30 minutes. Wash off with soap and water. Clean stainless steel pans with olive oil. The result is stunning, but use the oil sparingly and
be careful to clean it all off. Solvents : paint solvents, grease or glue solvents are all toxic and damaging to the patient. If
one has to be used, take it outside and don’t allow it to evaporate in the kitchen.. Dishwasher soap : Most dishwashers are equipped with two wash cycles followed by one
rinse cycle. Since the Gerson Therapy does not involve the use of greasy food or baking dishes,
it is best to use one wash cycle and ensure that the soap is cleared by using two rinse cycles. That
way the dishwasher soap should be completely eliminated, with no toxic residue remaining on
dishes. Laundry soap & bleach :  If the laundry is washed in a washing machine, more or less the
same applies as to dishwasher soap. You can use any appropriate soap and even add bleach, if
needed—as long as it is inside the machine and the patient doesn’t smell it. (If he can smell it, Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 9 6Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comhe is getting some into his system.) Then make very sure that the laundry is thoroughly rinsed,
possibly running a second rinse cycle. Fabric Softeners :  These should be avoided, whether in liquid form or as drying sheets. Either
way they leave a chemical film, which never washes out completely. They are also irritating to
sensitive individuals, e.g. asthma sufferers. As a harmless alternative, add 1⁄4 cup of distilled white
vinegar to the wash cycle. This is said to soften your clothes and also get rid of static cling. If you are washing delicate items (marked: ‘hand-wash’), use a mild soap and wear rubber
gloves. Dry Cleaning: As this is done outside the home, it doesn’t directly affect the patient. However, when dry-cleaned items are brought home, it is wise to leave them outdoors without
their plastic covers, to let them air and get rid of any remaining chemical. Aerosols and sprays: Do not use any of these. Once the spray is distributed in the air, it
is impossible to avoid inhaling it. Obviously the toxic pesticide sprays are the most dangerous. However, any cleaning chemical (window cleaner, oven cleaner) that is sprayed will go into the
air and be breathed in. If a window cleaner is used, just pour a little on a cloth and wipe the window clean without
spraying. Oven cleaning is not much of a problem, since the Gerson food is clear of fats and doesn’t
cause deposits on the oven walls. The Bathroom: Chlorine-containing cleansers should not be used in the bathroom. Disinfect
with 3% commercial hydrogen peroxide. Choose mild soaps for personal use and avoid spray
deodorizers. Men should use spreadable shaving soaps, not products sold in aerosol cans or
sprays. Avoid after-shave lotions and underarm deodorants. (see Chapter 5.on cosmetics, Pg. 26, pp. 5.) Only use plain white unscented toilet paper. Living area:  Many kinds of toxic damage can be caused inadvertently in the living room. One possible culprit is furniture polish, which c ontains solvent and must be banished. Carpet
cleaning presents another potential hazard..  Do not use (or allow cleaning services to use)
chemical cleaners, only soapy solutions. Very serious toxic damage has been caused by new carpeting, most of which is impregnated
with toxic pesticides or other chemicals to resist staining, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to install new carpeting, track down non-toxic kinds. Several
manufacturers have been sued for their carpets causing allergic reactions in sensitive people. As
a result non-toxic carpets are now being produced. An even more dangerous process is termite extermination. Some exterminators use a whole
house cover and spread gas throughout the building. When the covers are removed, fresh air is Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comallowed back in, but a lot of poison is left behind in upholstered furniture, carpets and drapes. It
takes some six months or so to outgas! There are other, non-toxic methods available:  find out
about the freezing approach. Living room areas are often routinely treated to “air fresheners” via sprays or a chemical
solid. Do not use either. Whole house painting: No part of the inside of the house should be painted while the patient
is recovering. Walls may be washed down with mild soap; stains can be removed with a non-
toxic cleanser. The house may not look perfect; but for the time being the patient’s recovery must
be given absolute priority. Outdoor garden sprays; agricultural pesticides: Some areas of daily life are beyond the
caregiver’s control. One of these is having neighbors who spray their gardens with pesticides. If
and when this happens, make sure that all windows are closed; use the room air cleaner and ozone
generator to protect the patient. A similar problem is caused by pesticide spraying of agricultural
areas in the vicinity. In one such case the recovering patient had a serious reaction and suffered a
recurrence, until she moved away (to live with her sister) for the time being. There she recovered
again.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 9 8Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

 greatly backs up the body’s lymphatic system
causing cell auto-intoxication. In our arrogance and blindness we humans overlook the truth that is
always right in front of our faces. If the body can miraculously repair itself in
ways such as broken bones, deep cuts, re-growth of various gland and
tissues, then why can’t it repair nerves? Well it can, but not on cooked, dead
foods, and foods that make the body’s pH acidic. Neurons are the highest energy centers in the body. Not only do they
require an alkaline “soil” to regenerate in, they require the highest energy
foods—fruits. Fructose is a high-energy simple sugar, which lends its energy
effortlessly to your cells. This holds true in all neurological issues including
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Bell’s palsy and even asthma. Note that all ofthese neurological weaknesses have an adrenal weakness as a precursor. In all neurological issues, including injuries, it is vital that the adrenal
glands be enhanced along with the rest of the endocrine gland system. It is
also vital to live on a 100 percent raw food diet. I had a forty-year-old female
brought to me one time with advanced multiple sclerosis. They brought her
lying on a stretcher, completely rigid. After three months on a fruit diet she
could sit up, feed herself, and even mobilize her own wheelchair. Since she
was so thin and small I needed to encourage her body to produce more
muscle tissue, so I started her on vegetable juices and salads, as these foods
are full of amino acids. Guess what? She lost her mobility temporarily. Why? The answer can be found in the difference between the electrical charge
of a
fruit versus that of a vegetable. When I put her on a diet of fruits alone she
began to regain strength. The power that raw foods have to revitalize the
physical body is almost unlimited. I’ve seen the body pull itself back from
some pretty precarious edges. It took a while for this young lady to
regenerate herself, but with such a degenerative condition it would naturally
take a significant time to turn the body around. A predominately fruit diet
was essential to maintain nerve response. It is important to realize here that your body cannot regenerate itself with
toxic chemicals. Toxic chemicals are seen as invading foreign proteins that
will only serve to further acidify your tissues, creating further damage, and
constant inflammatory immune responses that have to be treated with steroids
—causing a vicious circle. Electrical stimulation is not the answer either. People dance around the truth refusing to embrace it. Money is generally the
motivating factor. Because of greed, people would rather create
moneymaking “treatment” systems (like illness-care institutions, drugs,
surgeries) than learn the underlying truth about disease. THE SAME ANSWER—ALKALIZE

Strengthen every cell in your body through diet and herbs. Remember
Alkalize, Alkalize, Alkalize! It is the only way. I also recommend a high
quality, herbal, brain and nerve formula to further strengthen the spinal
column, nerve centers and brain tissue. Also it is essential to enhance the
adrenal glands. This is where a great many of the body’s neurotransmitters
and steroids are created. Another consideration in neurological disorders and injuries is thethyroid/parathyroid. The parathyroid hormone is necessary for proper
calcium utilization. You can find out how well your system is working by
taking the Basal Temperature Test (see
Appendix A
). With good calcium
utilization and an
all raw-food diet
 your success is almost guaranteed. At the very least, the quality of life of those suffering from nerve damage
are much improved with the elimination of urinary tract infections, over-
spasticity, pain, cellulitis, obesity, and deterioration of tissue. At the very best
they experience total recovery. The whole body can become healthy and vital
again. Don’t ever give up or believe the body can’t regenerate itself. Our bodies
become very acidic and toxic from the foods that we have been taught are
good for us. The body cannot regenerate when it is full of inflammation,
mucus, parasites, toxic chemicals, metals and excessive hormones. Dead
animal flesh, cooked mucus-forming dairy foods, acidic “fatty” grains and
refined sugars only serve to destroy the body. Become alive again. Regenerate yourself and let the miracles begin. MODULE 5.7Diabetes: Types I and II

U.S. Government figures, January 2003, report 17 million Americans with
diabetes. For a disease that is so devastating in its effects upon the body,
diabetes is one of the easiest to overcome. I say this respectful of the fact that
there are some difficult cases, especially in the more advanced “brittle” types,
or what is called type I or juvenile diabetes. There are basically two types of diabetes. Type I, which is usually called
juvenile or brittle diabetes, fits in the category of insulin dependent. Type II,
or what is referred to as late onset diabetes, is considered non-insulin
dependent diabetes. It can, however, become insulin dependent. In my opinion there is very little difference between these types except
the associated tissue weaknesses in type I, which have become much weaker
through genetic transmission. To better understand the disease called diabetes
let’s examine the tissues and cells involved and the cause behind their failure. THE ROLE OF THE PANCREAS

One of the glands involved in diabetes is the pancreas, which is both an
exocrine and an endocrine gland. The pancreas is located behind the stomach,
in front of the first and second lumbar vertebrae, situated horizontally with its
“head” attached to the first part of the small bowel (the duodenum). The “tail”
of the pancreas extends to the spleen. The pancreas has two vital jobs to perform, without which the body
could not live. First, is the secretion of major digestive enzymes. Sodium of
bicarbonate is also released at this time to alkalize the stomach contents so
these digestive enzymes can work.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        In the concluding module, called Body Language, you will find a listing
of the many symptoms that point to a weakness or failure in one or more of
the body’s glands, organs or systems. You can learn to “read” the important
information that your body is always giving you. MODULE 5. 1
The Three Root Causes of Disease

FIRST ROOT: INHERENT (GENETIC) WEAKNESSES

Inherent weaknesses are cellular codes (cellular memories) that set the
condition of tissue and how it responds to life. Your physical body is a
genetic imprint of your family tree, and your cellular strengths andweaknesses come from your genetic history. This is true throughout your
body. Cells were originally created by God, but the memory of how well a
cell functions is what constitutes our genetics. As we mature, we either make
our inherent weaknesses weaker or stronger depending upon our lifestyles. This is extremely important to understand because currently each generation
is becoming weaker instead of stronger. Today, more than ever, people are
consuming and injecting huge amounts of toxins into their bodies. We are
now seeing cancer (a form of degeneration and chronic toxicity) in the early
teens; chronic and degenerative issues in infants; and birth deformities as
never before. When organs and glands are underactive from genetics,
inflammation or toxicity, a host of imbalances and disease conditions can
result. It is easy to understand the concept of genetics. Our physical bodies
came from Mom and Dad, which means we will have many of their
characteristics, physically, mentally and emotionally. There is also a little of
grandmother and grandfather in us too, as their characteristics, encoded in
their genes, have been passed down through our parents. Geneticists say that
we carry in our bodies and psyches the legacy of four previous generations. However, in my practice I have seen genetic patterns that have clearly been
passed along for many more than four generations. Every cell in your body is
a genetic cell—each a blueprint of its parent’s cell. Cells become strong or weak depending upon what genetics has dictated
to them as well as from the effects of one’s lifestyle—that is, by what you eat,
drink, breathe, what is absorbed through your skin, and by what you think
and feel (emotions). Cells live and function from their memories of their experiences, just as
we do. Certain experiences leave us weak and vulnerable, and the same is true
of cells. Physical acids and toxins can weaken and injure cells. Genetic
memories add to or subtract from the cell’s overall state of health. The impact
of all this together determines the strength or weakness of cells, organs and
glands, and whether or not they will provide the necessary functions they
were originally designed to perform. If you inherited a weakened thyroid,
weak adrenal glands or liver, for example, the duties of these tissues will be
compromised and their ability to produce hormones, digestive enzymes,
steroids, or whatever, can be greatly diminished. This then affects your whole
body and how it functions. Disease of one sort or another is the result. For
another look at this issue see “About Consciousness and Disease” later in this
section. As a society we must begin to repair our weaknesses and rebuild ourcells so that future generations can live. Remember, nature never procreates
the weak. The weak are


13 expeditions to the far corners of
the earth and I never found the inhabitants to be salt
users. Therefore, none of them suffered from high blood
pressure. In fact, regardless of age, they generally hadblood pressures of
120 over 70, which is perfect. They
did not suffer from kidney or heart diseases, either.21
I have found that distilled water is a sovereign remedy for my
rheumatism. I attribute my almost perfect health largely to distilledwater. – Dr. Alexander Graham Bell,  Telephone InventorIt’s magnificent to live long if one keeps healthy and youthful. – Harry FosdickHow Much Salt Can the Body Tolerate Daily? There’s been a great deal of research on salt tolerance. The American Heart Association recommends that
healthy adults reduce their sodium intake to no more
than 2400  milligrams per day. But the body’s actual
physiological sodium requirement is less than 500 mg
daily. Unfortunately, the average American salt addict
actually consumes daily 2 to 5  times his sodium tolerance! This extremely high salt figure Americans eat is due
to the excessive amount of “hidden salt” in most all
commercial and “fast” foods. It’s in breads, cheese,prepared meats (ham, bacon, lunch meats, etc. ), frozen
and canned veggies, soups and hundreds of staple foods. I was born and reared in Virginia and many of my
relatives suffered from high blood pressure. They died
early of strokes and kidney diseases because they were
heavy salt, pork, ham, sausage and bacon eaters. Highconcentrations of table salt were used at every meal. By
the time these people were
30 years old, they ached all
over with what they called the “misery”. Their jointswere cemented, and they hobbled around stiffly andwith great pain! I believe that the heavy salt diet of the
average Southerner brought on this “misery”. The most dramatic wrongful death case against salt
occurred in a Binghamton, New York hospital, where a
number of babies died when salt was inadvertently used
in their formula. An overdose of salt can kill a babyquickly! The body needs natural, organic sodium – not
table salt, an inorganic chemical. You can obtain natural
sodium which Mother Nature provides in organic formin celery, beets, carrots, potatoes, soybeans, turnips, sea
vegetation, seaweed, kelp, watercress, etc. and many
other natural, healthy foods. Remember, only organicminerals can be utilized by your body’s living cells.22Fasting De-Salts The Body Cells and Organs
I have had over 70  years experience with the science
and use of rational fasting. And I have found that in 4
days of complete fasting we can de-salt the body. Theurine will reveal the story of salt. Take a
4 day complete
distilled water fast. Nothing must pass through yourbody for
4 days, except for distilled water and ACV drink. Drink at least 8 to 10  glasses daily to flush the salt out. Each morning take a sample of the first urine your
body passes. Put these urine bottles (labeled) on a shelfto settle for
3 weeks, then look at them in the sunlight. You will see concentrated salt and toxic wastes in the
bottom of the bottle. When this salt is passed from yourbody notice how freely your kidneys will function.Notice how naturally moist your mouth is and how youhave no abnormal thirst. Notice your skin and muscletone. The first thing the body throws off during a fast issalt and the side effects – bloating and edema (dropsy)that goes with salt. Lumpy, waterlogged spots vanishand you become more streamlined. There is a thinnerand more youthful look to your body. Water-bloatingvanishes and you begin to see your natural figure again! You can hardly believe your eyes! A wonderful
transformation is taking place during your fast. Thepowerful Vital Force that would otherwise be used tohandle your food is now being used exclusively to cleanout the debris, waste, and poisons that have been lockedin the body cells and vital organs. Rejuvenation is takingplace in every one of the billions of cells of the body!After the
4 days of de-salting the body, be sure to keep
salt out of your diet. It’s a difficult thing to do sincethere’s so much “hidden salt” in so many different foods.That’s where your weekly
24 – 36 hour fast helps continue
to de-salt and detox your body to keep you healthy! We find it difficult in our world travels, lecturing and
doing research, to avoid “hidden salt” in foods, eventhough we always do request, “No salt, please!” inrestaurants, on cruise ships, airplanes and trains.However, our weekly cleansing fast of
24 to 36 hours
keeps any inorganic salt we ate flowing out of our bodies.23We never add salt to foods in the Bragg household! We use natural seasonings that add zest to foods: herbs,
garlic, kelp, onion, lemon and our delicious BraggOrganic Vinegar and Bragg Aminos, a tasty all purposesoy seasoning that contains 16 amino acids. With fasting,you’ll soon see how much better you feel and look! Andwhat a sweet taste you will have in your mouth. Youwill note many changes for the better when you are
faithful with your fasting program and banishing salt! Fasting is the Great Cleanser and Purifier
People are constantly asking and writing me, “Will a
fast cure my ‘this or that’ disease?” I want it clearly anddistinctly understood that I am not recommending
fasting as a cure for any disease! I don’t believe in cures
unless Mother Nature, God and your body do it! I canonly inspire you to fast to build more Vital Force to
overcome enervation and debilitation. Then as you build
up your body’s Vital Force it can then self-cleanse andself-heal. Read our Build Powerful Nerve Force  book for
more info on importance of building your Vital Force. Enervation Explained
We live in a chaotic world. The demands for energy
in these hectic times are enormous. We all have astandard of living to maintain and an image to createand live up to for our relatives and friends. We eachhave many responsibilities. Every waking hour requiresgreat outputs of Vital Force to earn our daily living, tosupport our family, to drive a car in traffic, to beresponsible for a job, to maintain a house, to rear ourchildren, to perform social and civic duties. Plus thereare thousands of other daily activities that call for yourVital Force to perform continually in operating your
body. You need go-power and energy! Energy is a precious vital ingredient; it cannot be
purchased in a bottle or can. Many misguided peoplethink they can get it from drugs, alcohol, tobacco,caffeine, sugar and colas. They can’t! Energy is a reward
for living as close to Mother Nature’s Laws as possible.24
When you live as God and Mother Nature

It’s because of your bad habits that things start to
break down and decay in your body! Your bad habits
enervate and rob your energy! This is the importantpoint: as energy drops and you become enervated, you
do not have enough energy for your body to properly
cleanse. Low energy brings on slow functioning in allthe basic eliminative organs: the bowels, kidneys, skin
and lungs. There is no energy to function at full natural
capacity. Then poisons of all kinds are not completelyflushed out of the body, but instead are deposited inside,
slowly building up and taking a terrible toll! Poisons start to collect in various parts of the body,
causing you illness, aches and pains. These are Mother
Nature’s flashing warning signals that you are not living
the healthy lifestyle that She and God intended for yourbody! Perhaps you blame everything and everybody for
your problems, instead of analyzing your lifestyle habits
for the real causes! “No,” you say, “I caught a cold when I worked too
hard.” “I get sick because I am getting older.” Excuse afterexcuse is given... but never the real cause: yourself. You
alone are responsible for your aches, pains and premature
ageing! Start now living The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle! Your unhealthy habits promote low Vital Force and
fatigue! Then the p oisons can’t be thoroughly flushed
out of the body. So they find a spot to torment you and arenamed according to the location of your pain. But that
pain actually came from the way you live. Don’t put the
blame elsewhere! You have enervated yourself, and thetoxic poisons from many sources of your daily living are
tormenting you. Cleanse and rebuild your Vital Force by
fasting and natural living, and fatigue will vanish! Unhealthy living is the reason why you feel burned out,
fatigued, full of aches and pains, prematurely old and,
maybe heading straight for the human “scrap heap”!25Most people think they can attempt to break all of
Mother Nature’s good and just laws of Healthful Living. How very wrong they are. You can never break a natural

scnsation  of dropping  into  unconsciousness  is
extraordinarily  pleasant. Unfonunately,  not very  many  of us die peace -
Eully. We die through accidents and painEul
diseases,  and il  is cragic indeed  when  a person
whose  "mind"  is still young  and alert  struggles
usclessly with  a dy - ing body. J am surc, however,
that the body dies be - cause it wants to. ll finds it
beyond  its power to resist  the disease or to mend
thc injury,  and so, tired  out with the struggle, turns
to death. If the consciousness  were  more  scnsitive  to
the feelings  and impulses  of the whole organism,  it
would  share  this desire,  and,  indeed, sometimes does
so. We come close  to it when,  in serious sickness,
we would justas soon die, though  sometimes  wc
survive,  either  because  medical  treat - ment
reinvigorates che body, or beca use therc are still
unconscious forces in the organism which are abl e to
heal. Accustomed,  as it is, to think  of man  as a
dualism
of mind and body, and to regard the former as "sen -
sible"  and the latter as a "dumb" animal,  our
culture  is an affront  to the wisdom of nature and a
ruinous  exploitation of the human  organism  as a
wholc. Wc are perpetually frustrated because che
verbal and ab - stract thinking of the  brain  gives  che
false  impression  of being  able  to cut loose  from
ali finite  limitations. lt forgets  that  an infinity  of
anything  is not a reality
67  THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
but an abstract concept, and persuades us that we
de- sire this fantasy  as a real  goal  of living. The externalized symbol of this way of thinking
is that  almost  entirely  rational  and inorganic
object,  the rnachine, which gives  us the scnse of
being able  to approach infinity. For the machine
can submit to  strains far beyond the capacity of
the body, and to  monotonous rhythms which the
human being could  never stand. Useful as it would
be as a tool anda serv - ant, we worship its
rationality, its efficiency, and its power to abolish
limitations of time and space, and thus pcrmit  it to
regulare our lives. Thus  the work - ing inhabitantS
of a modern city are people who live inside a
machine to be batted aroun d by its wheels. They
spend their days in activities which largely boil
clown  to counting and  measuring,  living in a
world  of rationalized abstraction  which  has little
relation  to or harmony with the great biological
rhythms and  processes. As a matter of fact,  mental activities of this kind
can now be done far more efficiently by  machines
than by men -so much so  that in a not  too distant
future thc human brain may be an obsolete
mecha - nism for logical calculation. Already the
human com - puter  is widely  displaced  by
mechanical  and elec - trical computers of far
greater speed and  efficiency. If, then, man's

which everybody loses. Neither side actually
wants a  war, and yet, because we livc in a vicious
circle, we  start the war to prevent the other side
from starting  first. We arm ourselves knowing
that  if we do not,  the other  side  will-which  is
quite  true,  because  if we do not arm the ocher
side will do so to gain its  advantage  without
actually  fighting. From this rational point of view we find
ourselves  in the dilemma of St. Paul -"To will is

Until the Cretaceous period, the Age of Chalk, which began 136
million years ago and lasted 71 million years, there was little colour
in the world, apart from the mostly hidden colour of minerals, the
greens of chlorophyll, and the bl ues of sky and water. Then a
remarkable event occurred. The l eaves of certain plants became
modified, in the incredibly rapid time of a few million years, into
sepals and petals, which became filled with the brightest of
pigments, providing thousands of different hues. At the same time,
insects, which had been fearsome, ugly if not revolting creatures
until then, also became resplendent in colour. As if not to be left
out, the ungainly reptiles managed to sire some of the most
exquisite of coloured creatures, the tropical tree lizards, and tropical
fish became iridescent living jewels. Clearly, nature at that time had
moved into an orgy of artistic expression. As already suggested, the lavish  presence of flowers in the
environment of human genesis was indispensable for the evolution
of the human colour sense. Botanists believe the origin of flowers occurred somewhere in Southern Asia, judging from the diversity of floral species still surviving there, as well as of some of the more primitive kinds. It is from there that flowers have spread all over the world, some regions and continents being more favoured than
others. Another momentous event occurred in the Cretaceous which
greatly influenced this distribution, and may have played a hand in the creation of the mammals, for th is manmaking line also arose in
the Cretaceous. Prior to the Cretaceous, the c ontinents had been amassed
together around Africa; they then began drifting apart. Asia and the
Americas moved the furthest away. The flowers spread easily all
over EuroAsia, except in those re gions then covered by ocean—
regions now occupied by immense deserts and high mountains, the
Himalayas. The flowers also occupied the Americas, by a
landbridge with Asia which persis ted into human times. Africa,
however, possessed a considerable obstacle to the spread of
flowers—an ocean, which is now th e Sahara, and the impenetrable
tropical forest-belt stretching right across the continent. As a result,
Africa is a continent poor in fl oral species, except for the north,
where flowers have crept in from the near East, and in the extreme
south, where flowers may have trav elled by a landbridge with Asia
over what is now only a scattering of islands across the Indian
Ocean. The fact that EuroAsia is rich er in flower species than Africa
would indicate that humanization is more likely to have occurred
somewhere in Asia, as was once believed, rather than in Africa, now
the most favoured site, in view of the large number of hominid
remains found there. But as anthropologists agree, this may be
fortuitous; abundant remains may yet be found in Asia, or possibly
once abundant remains have been subsequently effaced by geological events, which have been particularly intense in Asia,
with the rising of the Himalayas, still rising when the earliest men
were on the scene. This inference is further supported by the fact
that the low lying fruits, like the apple family, which presumably
formed the essential part of the food of the ground living pre-human
apes, are virtually uniquely the product of Asia. In other words, the
numerous fossil hominids of Africa may be no more than hominid
experiments, with little or nothing to do with the true human line. This would be just as well, for the African hominids were a blood-
thirsty, cannibalistic lot. That fruits are the favourite foods of the higher Primates is
explained by the fact that fruits o ffer one of the most concentrated
supplies of energy in nature, owing to their high content of sugar. For animals with relatively large brains and complex social patterns,
such a concentrated food enabl es much time to be spent in
developing these characteristics, in  the continual games and other
social frolics so typical of these animals. Long browsing and
searching would have barred social evolution. As a prelude to the
evolution of man, fruits had an exceptional advantage—they are
among the most beautiful and harmonious objects in nature. A consequence of a largely fruitarian diet resulted in digestive
changes, in the chimpanzee and in man, which had unexpected
subsequent results. The concentrated  energy of fruit sugars enabled
a considerable reduction in the si ze and length of the alimentary
tract in these two primates, comp ared with the bulky digestive
organs of the gorilla, for instance, a primate living largely on tough
leaves. It is this reduction which enabled man, and to a lesser extent,
the chimpanzee, to take to eating animal foods when their natural
diet fails. The lengthy alimentary tract of the bulky plant eaters is quite
incongenial to such a mixed diet, for the very opposite conditions
are needed for the digestion of proteins or of plant fibres. The one
has to be absorbed rapidly, and eliminated rapidly, before
putrefactive poisons have time to  accumulate, while the latter needs
time for the nutrients to be digest ed out of the fibrous matrix. But
this does not imply that man or chimpanzee is well adapted to have
such a mixed diet, for a preponderance of proteins, which a mixed
diet involves, required a revolution in metabolism as well. The
metabolic end products of protei n, like the putrefactive products
formed in the gut by bacteria, ca ll for very special devices so as to
enable their excretion in a harmless form. All carnivores possess
such deamination devices. The primates are entirely deprived of
them, so that any intake of nitr ogenous substances over a relatively
low level of a vegetarian dietary, puts a strain on the system. Uric
acid and other end products of  purine metabolism accumulate,
causing increasing havoc over the years in rheumatic joints and
kidney strain. That the level of protein intake at which deamination is
optimally efficient is identical in man and chimpanzee to that of the
other primates, should make it clear that the rare sallies of
chimpanzees into flesh eating, and the common mixed diet of
humans, are emergency measures. Since protein metabolism is the
most difficult aspect of digestion, one must expect that a
physiological tax has to be paid for defying its natural limits. This is
an important question, for if the human being required the relatively large amounts of protein recommended by nutritionists—1 gram per
kilo body weight—then man would have had to be a'mixed eater'
from the start, and could not be the preponderantly fruitarian
creature suggested in this book. Since protein balance studies
confirm that humans, like the other primates, need no more than
about a third of this amount, one can only conclude that the
standards recommended are wrong. Because proteins are unquestionably important, nutritionists
have thought it wise to set their standards according to the so called
'best fed nations', those peoples in fact who in all probability
consume far more food altogether than they need. Nutritionists,
doing field surveys in the tropics, have been surprised to find people
living on amounts of protein much lower than they had been led to
believe were indispensable, and liv ing well and healthily. Although
the writer found many other signs of malnutrition in the course of
such a survey, he found no pr otein deficiency, except in places
where malaria was rife. In fact, the lurid picture of protein
deficiency in textbooks on the subject only occur in exceptional
conditions of general famine follo wing wars and other catastrophes. The beauty of fruits, their sweetness and exquisite flavours,—
how different those different varieties of apple, of pear, of peaches
can taste!—are the ideal food fo r a beauty-loving animal. The
conditions in the Cretaceous which brought colour to the world in
flowers, so preparing the way for the evolution of the human colour
sense, also brought into being the fruits on which the highest of
creatures, the most noble, beautiful and pure, would in time come to
feast. The human being is best designed as a picker of fruits, not a
climber of tall trees, so that only low growing fruit trees would meet
his needs. It is just these fruits that abound, and abound still, in the
EuroAsian landmass—particularly the apple family, so close to the
rose, and also peaches, cherries,  plums, apricots, grapes and a
multitude of berries. The high growing fruit of tropical jungles
could have fed only a few acrobats. The apple features as the
miraculously healing fruit in the folklores of many of the peoples of
EuroAsia. In many of their langua ges, apple is synonymous with
fruit. The myth of Adam and Eve recounts the drama of the Fall, the
chasing from the earthly paradise, no doubt by the Ice Ages, and the
human corruption which ensued. In offering the apple, Eve was
symbolically reminding the man that lust could only be pursued at
the loss of a natural purity, of wholeness. In eating the apple, Adam
destroyed the symbol of human


 by this poor imitation of the natural nutrient often  test “low” for B 12  even if their levels are healthy and they are totally
asymptomatic. This is because their B 12  levels are being compared to those of people who are consuming a B 12  supplement in their
food at almost every meal. How important is it to eat organically grown food. Organic produce is always to be preferred, but life is full of compromises an d choices. It may be better to eat commercially
grown raw vegetables than to eat cooked or steamed organic vegetables, but i t is a difficult choice. Organically grown produce generally contains more vitamins and min erals than conventional produce (see the FAQ on vitamin
B12  on page 254), and the fresher it is the better. Organic produce generally con tains little or no pesticide residue in comparison
with conventional produce; nevertheless, the amounts involved are not  usually critical to health, and it is far more important to avoid
the pathogenic effects from cooked food. To concern yourself with pesticide residues while eating cooked food is a prov erbial fire and frying pan situation. Neither is
good for us. The best solution is to consume only organic raw plants. Otherwis e, the decision is much like choosing whether to shoot
oneself in the foot or shoot oneself in the hand. In the case of cooked complex carbohydrates (grains, potatoes, corn, legumes), h owever, eating them both raw and free of
synthetic chemicals has recently become a matter of grave concer n. Commercial agroscientists are scrambling to counteract the
seriously negative press being caused by a recently discovered DNA-da maging carcinogen and neurotoxin called acrylamide. This
potent chemical killer was found in high concentrations in the food supply  in 2002 by a Swedish researcher. Scientists at the World Health Organization and elsewhere origin ally attributed shockingly high levels of acrylamide (found
most prominently in bread, chips, crackers, french fries, and other dry-cooked c arbohydrates) to the cooking process itself,
because they found none to be present in raw foods. But we have since learne d that acrylamide is a building block for polyacrylamide, a surfactant added to enhance the effectiveness of M onsanto’s Roundup and other herbicide products used
ubiquitously in industrial farming. Further research is in order to determine whether bread, pastries, and c rispy snacks made from organically grown plants
contain this lethal chemical, but in any case the presence of acryl amide in these foods presents one more nail in the coffin of the
standard American diet. If you still eat these foods, I urge you to do at leas t some reading about this profoundly toxic chemical. You
can begin with the two articles referenced in the endnotes of this book. 85

Do I have to do calculations every day. No. Y ou don’t have to calculate percentages every day to make sure you’ re eating properly. By eating primarily fruit,
vegetables, and leafy greens, your diet is automatically close to the i deal of 80/10/10. However, you may want to use a calculator to
determine whether you are getting enough calories for the day to meet  your basic metabolic and exercise needs. The tools in Appendix D. Resources for Diet Analysis are especially h elpful to the newcomer, because it is common to
undereat fruit and overeat fatty foods when beginning the raw vegan di et. I recommend that you input your food information into
CRON-O-Meter or on Nutridiary. com, FitDay. com, or another similar websi te for at least a week, to make sure you have the
relevant information about your calories and caloronutrient ratio. Very often, people simply do not eat enough because their stomachs are used t o accepting a certain volume of food each day,
and raw foods are not as calorie dense as cooked foods. Therefore, to consume enough c alories, you need to train your stomach to
accept more food, especially fruits. How do I eat so much fruit at once. It takes some practice to develop the ability to consume what, from th e raw perspective, should be thought of as “normal”
amounts of food for a human. Somewhere in between “all you care for” and “a ll you can” there is a happy medium that will enable
you to increase the amount you consume without overeating. The stomach  is very accommodating in this regard and will stretch
quickly to allow you to consume normal/healthy quantities of fruit. At the same time, your image of what is a healthy amount, and your mindse t about quantities of fruit will grow to match your
ability to eat it. The more you practice eating meals of just fruit, only  fruit, and nothing but fruit, the easier and easier it will become to
consume appropriate volumes. If your fruit meal does not “hold” you until the next meal time, at least  three to five hours later, then you did not eat a sufficient
quantity of food. With practice, it will get easier. Until then, feel fre e to add an extra fruit meal between breakfast and lunch, and
again between lunch and dinner. What does “mono eating” mean. Mono eating is the practice of eating one particular food for an entire me al, in sufficient quantity to produce satiation until the
next meal. This is the way that every nonhuman creature on Earth g enerally eats. I recommend eating monomeals for optimal
digestion, absorption, and assimilation. A monomeal might consist of four or five bananas for a sedentary beginner  or twelve to eighteen bananas for a seasoned raw
athlete. Another monomeal might be two or three mangos for the beginner, and four or more for the athlete. It is important to remember when reading about food volumes that a small in active woman may only eat a quarter of what an
active male could eat. Do not be intimidated when you hear a low-fat raw ve gan athlete tell you that he ate a dozen or more bananas
for lunch. Four or five may be sufficient to meet your needs if you are a sm aller, less active individual. Variety is obtained over time, throughout the seasons, not at every meal. In nature, if sufficient food is available, animals tend
to eat one food at a time until they are full. What’s wrong with avocados, nuts, and seeds. Avocados, nuts, and seeds are extremely high in fat content, especially  nuts and seeds:

Avocado (77% fat) : 4 ounces (about ½) = 200 calories; 165 fat. Almonds (73% fat) : 4 ounces (½ cup +) = 650 calories; 480 fat. Flaxseeds (58% fat): 4 ounces (¾ cup) = 560 calories; 325 fat. When it comes to fat, the source doesn’t matter so much; fat is fat. Fat t ravels from the lymph system directly into the blood. Too much fat will thicken the blood, causing the red blood cells to clump togethe r so they cannot deliver oxygen to the cells. Excess
fat also blocks the action of insulin in bringing sugars to the cells, wh ich leads to diabetes and other blood-sugar problems. (Chapter 2 discusses this in detail. ) It is best to eat only small amounts of avocados, nuts, and seeds (not more than  half of an avocado in a day or one ounce of
nuts for a sedentary person; twice that for an athlete), and not to eat th em daily. Fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens contain
adequate high-quality fatty acids (assuming we’re getting enoug h calories) to meet all of our needs. Eventually, it is best to free yourself from the desire to experience a  heavy feeling after a meal, as this is an indicator that the
digestive system is being overworked. In order to feel satisfied, it is best  to eat large amounts of sweet fruit, which may pass through
your stomach quickly, but will satisfy true hunger for hours. What do you mean by “true hunger”. True hunger is a sensation that occurs primarily deep in the low part of  the throat, much like the feeling of thirst, but a bit
lower, about where the concave “notch” appears between the collar bones, at the bottom of the neck. The sensation might be
described as resembling a dull ache. The stomach sensation we commonly associate with hunger is often th e result of its muscular walls shrinking after completing
the digestive task of the last meal. If a perceived feeling of hunger i s accompanied by feelings of faintness, stomach pangs,
headaches, or other discomforts, it is actually a sign of withdrawal from  harmful substances. A healthy person can skip a meal or two with no feelings of weakness or distr ess. When one is healthy, true hunger signifies no
urgency for food, since the body knows it has reserves for its use in time of n eed. You should be at all times comfortable in your
body. Is eating sea salt all right. Extracted sodium chloride, in any  form is an irritant and is toxic to the body. It deadens the taste buds’ a bility to sense sweet,
sour, or bitter (which is why salt users often say that food has no taste w ithout salt), retards digestion and excretion, and upsets our
critical natural water balance. W e must take care to distinguish here between extracted sodium chl oride “salt” (which is deadly), and the sodium and other
mineral salts that occur naturally and abund


inity. Y ou have no con trol over your l ife from that point on. Y ou serve God by
serving your fellows and all life. By loving and serving others, you serve
God, and they are not dif ferent from God, for God is in everything. Q: What is the benefit of learning teachings that seem
incompr ehensible at the time. A:  They only seem  obscure to the intellect. They plant the seed, a nd the
aspirant’ s spiritu al aura incorporates the transmitted ener gy field of the
teacher ’ s aura. Certain informati on is transformational in itself. Exposure to
high tru th initiates a yearning in the psyche. The Buddha made that
observation when he said that once a person has heard of enlightened truth,
they will never be satisfied with anything less, even though it takes
innumerable lifetimes to attain it. It is  very impor tant to understand that any devoted spiritual stu dent can
suddenly be at an extremely high level with no advance warning. Thus, all
students should  be instructed ahead of time as to how to handle very
advanced states of consciousnes s. It is not just a catchy phrase that says that
heaven and hell are only one-tenth of an inch apart. Y ou can, in fact, go
from the very depths of hell to the most extremely advanced states. One reason for the seemin gly endless delays on the way to
Enlightenment is doubt, which should be surrendered as a resi stance. It is
important to know that it is a ctually extremely rare for a human to be
committed to spiritual truth to the degree of seriously seeking
Enlightenment, and those who do make the commitment do so because they
are actually destined  for Enlightenment. At this time, spi ritual evolution is proceeding at an exhilarating pace, and
spiritual information never before available is now readily accessible. Theprogress of a spiritual student of today is already accelerated and
advantaged by access to spiritua l information that in past times was limited
to the very select few. Spiritual progress does not follow in convenient, definable, progressive
steps, as the Map of Consc iousness might seem to imply with its
progressive levels. The path is not linear. Unexpectedly, great leaps may
very well occur at any time, and all students should have the advantage of
knowing the necessary informa tion at certain points along th e way. The
knowledge that is needed at the “end” is essential right from the
“beginning. ”
T o know  what it is necessary to know in order to reach Divi ne States
accelerates prog ress; otherwise,  there is an unconscious resista nce of fear
due to ignorance. This fear is overcome by the acquisition of the necessary
understanding; therefore, there is nothing left to fear, and all fear is an
illusion—a Kno wingness that is also required at very advanced states. Any
student who is serious about spiritual alignment and devotion to God, to
Love, to  T ruth, to fellow humanity, or to the alleviation of hum an suf fering
or suf fering in all sentient beings is already very far advanced. Consistent application of any spiritual principle can unexpectedly result
in a very major and sudden leap to unanticipated levels. At that point,
memory may not even be av ailable, and instead, the Knowingness of
Spiritual T ruth presents itself si lently. Spiritual students should  accept the
reality that they are alr eady gifted. A serio us reader of a book suc h as this
could hardly be otherwise. Divinity knows its own; therefore, to  accept that
truth is to already feel joy. T o not experience joy by understanding this
means that it is being resi sted. This awareness is reinforced by
understanding that, contrary to the dualistic Newtonian paradigm  of reality,
we a re n ot just the consequence of the past. On the contrary, our present
position is due to  the attraction of potentiality, because both the past and the
future are illusions. Therefore, commitment to Enlightenment now becomes
like a magnet p ulling us toward it, and the rate of evolution is up to the
individual’ s willingness to surrender resistances. Enlightenment is not a condition to be obtained; it is merely a certainty to
be s urrendered to, for the Self i s already one’ s Reality. It is the Self that is
attracting one to spiritual information. CHAPTER NINE
G U I D A N C E  F O R  S P I R I T U A L
S E E K E R S
T o seek Enlightenment is to seek entrainment to the most powerful
attractor patterns. Entrainment t o a certain ener gy field on the Map simply
means that one is under its influence, similar to a gravitational pull. When
the ener gy field is below 200, the entrainment has a destructive ef fect. This
is clinically observed in the failure of cocaine addicts to recover if they
continue to listen to violent rap or heavy-metal music. The entrainment of a
negative ener gy field is possible  to escape only through consiste nt exposure
to a higher one, as is said: “ Just keep coming back—you’ll get it by
osmosis. ” Recov ering addicts who leave the supportive ener gy field of their
self-help programs rather predictably relapse, for now there is no
counterbalance to the downward  pull of the negative habits. Their assertion
that they can “go it alone” is a notorious symptom of the ego’ s arrogance
and Pride, calibrating at 175, w hich is below the power of the ener gy field
required for healing. Spiritual aspiran ts, on the other hand, are seeking to align themselves
with pow erful e ner gy fields that can lift them out of entrenched ego habits. The key is will, a  constantly re peated act of choice. Here, the chaos-theory
principle of sensitive dependenc e on initial conditions (a slight change, over
time, can have a major impact) provides a scientific explanation of the
traditional way of spiritual progress. In all spiritual disciplines, the opening
wedge predicated for advancing one’ s awareness is described as
“willingness. ” History shows what has been clinically know n as well:
persistent willingness is the trigger that activates a new attractor field and
allows one to begin to leave the old. W e may visualize a lesser attractorfield approaching a greater one, at which point the introduction of a third
element (such as free will) suddenly creates a crossover (a “saddle
pattern”), and the change takes place. When s omeone suddenly goes from the influence of a lower attractor
field to that of a higher, it is often proclaimed a miracle. The unfortunate
verdict of human experience is that few escape the ener gy fields that
gradually come to dominate the ir behaviors. A currently popular spiritual
program designe d to facilitate s uch escape is the W orkbook (ca l. 600) of A
Course in Miracles. The purpose of this course of spiritual psychology is to
lay the necessary groundwork to precipitate a sudden jump in consciousness
through encoura ging a total c hange of perception. In more traditional
fashion, prayer and meditation a lso provide points of departure to rise from
the influence of a lower ener gy field into a higher. In Easte rn spiritual disciplines, it is accepted that the devotee alone,
unaided by a g uru or a teac her, is unlikely to make muc h progress. Guidance is required. The AA experience is that an addict or alcoholic is
unable t o recover without the help of a sponsor. In sports, great coaches are
sought-after because their influence inspires maximum ef fort. Devotees can
aid their own p rogress by merely focusing on an advanced teacher and
thereby aligning  with that teacher ’ s ener gy field; in our testing, it was
shown repeatedly that holding in mind the image of an advanced spiritual
teacher made every subject go strong, irrespective of their personal beliefs. THE SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
It is  helpful to  remember that neither T ruth nor Enlightenment is
something to be found, sought, acquired, gained, or possessed. That which
is th e In finite Pr esence is always present, and its realization occurs of itself
when th e obstacles to that rea lization are removed. It is therefore not
necessary to study the truth, but only to let go of that which is fallacious. When the clouds are removed,  the sun shines forth. Moving away the
clouds d oes not  cause the sun to shine but merely reveals that which was
hidden a ll along. Spiritual work, therefore, is primarily a lettin g go of the
presumably known in favor of the unknown, with the promise of others who
have done it that the ef fort is more than well rewarded at the end. On theearthly l evel, go ld is not created  but merely revealed by chippin g away that
which obscures it. One of the main spiritual tools is intention, w hich sets up priorities and
hierarchies of values that ene r gize one’ s ef forts. Spiritual work is a
commitment and also an exploration. The way has been opened by those
who hav e gone before and set th e possibility in consciousness for others to
follow. Biologist Rupert Sheldrake has demonstrated the influence of

natural means of rejuvenating the body, much better,
133
133than the manipulation of stem cells or costly
plastic surgery. One must realize that any effective
rejuvenation of the body is the result of internal forces
and processes under favorable conditions, not because of violent
states as a result of exotic action. Recovery
health, in other words, the cessation of the pathological state
and rejuvenation are one and the same process. If we can see in starvation mode, enabling
the body to release not only from the burden of accumulated toxins,
but also from the burden of accumulated abnormal changes in tissues, we
can use this method in order to rejuvenate with a huge
success. PROFILES KTICHE SKY mechanical ZM:

only by eating the flesh of those who had died either during the crash or later

wounds progressed into serious infections. Knowing no way to treat these two, the survivors could only attempt to comfort
them. Eventually the infection led to death. Watching the intense suffering of
these people made me wonder if there was more that could have been done to
save them. I now feel it's very possible that these two people, and thousands of
others around the world would still be alive if they had been aware of the
therapeutic effects of urine. With urine therapy, you get all the benefits of urea plus the additional
antibodies, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones and more. " Dr. William Hitt, Clinica Hitt, Mexico

Interesting Case Histories of Urine Therapy
Urine Therapy is becoming popular all over the world, but slowly and steadily. Not everybody gets
the desired results, but there many, who claim that, they had no hopes from popular system, but
got amazing results when they took to urine therapy. It is surprising why some people get the
blessings of this miracle water, while other don't? while scientific data eludes many, the
movement of urine therapy goes on. Here are some of the stories of those who swear by this
precious fluid of the body. 52 Dr. V.P. Mehta, Mumbai
I am a qualified and experienced medical doctor with the highest degrees both in medicine and

I was diagnosed with cancer of the ary-epiglottic area (throat) with enlarged cervical lymph
nodes. After receiving chemotherapy and a course of cobalt therapy I was to be


 in almost every instance has failed. Whole religious orders in the Occidental World have tried this
very thing, but they, too, have failed because they have tried
to master the procreative energy by suppressing it. There is
only one way to master this powerful urge, and that is not by
dissipating or suppressing it but by TRANSMUTING it —
transmuting it and at the same time lifting it upward. In this
way you really and truly have discovered not only the ‘Elixir
of Life,’ as the ancients called it, but you have put it to use as
well, which is something the ancients were seldom able to do. “Now this Rite Number Six is the simplest thing in the
world to perform. It should only be practiced when one has an
excess of procreative energy; when there is a natural desire
for its expression. It can be done so easily that it can be per-
formed anywhere at any time. When one feels the powerful
reproductive urge, here is all that is necessary:
“Stand erect and then let all the air out of the lungs, as one
bends over and places his hands on his knees. Force out the
last trace of air. Then, with empty lungs, stand erect, place
hands on hips, and push down on them. This has a tendency
to push up the shoulders. While doing this, pull in the abdomen
just as far as possible, which raises the chest. Now hold this
position as long as you can. Then when you are forced to take
air into the empty lungs, let the air flow in through the nose. Exhale it through the mouth as you relax the arms and let
them hang naturally at your sides. Then take several deep
breaths through the mouth or nose and allow them to quickly
escape through either the mouth or the nose. This constitutes
one complete performance of Rite Number Six. About three
are required to subdue the most masculine urge and to turn
—23B—the powerful procreative or reproductive forces upward. “The only difference there is between the average virile
man and the Super-man is that the virile lets the procreative
urge flow downward while the Super-man turns the procreative
urge upward and reproduces within himself a new man—a
strong, powerful, magnetic man who is constantly growing
younger, day by day, moment by moment. This is the true
SUPER-MAN, who creates within himself the true ‘ELIXIR
OF LIFE.’ Now you understand why it was unnecessary for
me to have left my native England to find the ‘Fountain of
Youth’—it was within me all the time. Now you can see that
when I wrote you some time ago that I had found ‘The Foun-
tain of Youth’ and was bringing it back with me, I meant
just that. The Five Rites and the ‘Fountain’ are one. “When I remember Ponce de Leon and his futile search for
the ‘Fountain’ I think of how simple it would have been for him
to stay at home and simply use it; but he, like myself, believed
it was anywhere in the world except within one’s self. “Please understand that in order to perform Rite Number
Six it is absolutely necessary that a man have full masculine
virility. He couldn’t possibly raise up and transmute pro-
creative energy if there were little or none to transmute. It is
absolutely impossible for the impotent man or the one with
little virility to perform this Rite. He shouldn’t even attempt
it, because it would only lead to discouragement, which might
do him great harm. Instead he should first practice the other
five Rites until he has full masculine power, and this regardless
of how young or how old he may be. Then when the first full
bloom of youth is experienced within him, he may, if he wishes,
go on to the business of being a SUPER-MAN. “The man of the world is interested only in the material
things of the world, and for that reason should practice only
the first five Rites until he feels the urge or desire within to
become the SUPER-MAN. Then he should decide definitely ;
for a clean-cut start and a new life are absolutely necessary
to those who lead the SUPER-LIFE. They are the ones who
become MYSTICS, OCCULISTS, and ADEPTS. They it is
who truly see with THE EYE OF REVELATION. “Again I say, let no man concern himself with the up-turning
of the sex currents until he is thoroughly satisfied in his own
mind and heart that he truly desires to lead the life of the
MYSTIC; then let him make the step forward, and success
will crown his every effort. —14—The Eye of Revelation
PART THREE
After the tenth week Colonel Bradford no longer attended
each weekly meeting. However, he still kept up his interest
in the “Himalaya Club,” and from time to time would speak on
various subjects which would aid them in their work. Some-
times the members requested him to advise them on some
particular subject. For instance, we discussed among our-
selves one night the tremendously important part that food
played in our lives. How the right food would make us more
alive and vigorous while the wrong food would make us slug-
gish and dull. None of us knew much about the subject,
however, so we requested the Colonel to advise us at our next
meeting as to the Lamas’ policy regarding food. “In the Himalayan Lamasery where I was a neophyte,” said
the Colonel, in addressing us the following week, “there are no
problems concerning the right foods, nor in getting sufficient
food. Each of the Lamas does his share of the work in pro-
ducing what is needed. Furthermore, all the work is done by
the most primitive means. Even the soil is spaded by hand. Of course, the Lamas could use horses and plows if they so
desired, but direct contact with the soil, handling it and work-
ing with it, seems to add something to man’s existence. Per-
sonally, it made me feel very strongly that I was a part of the
Universal. Not merely working with it or working for it but
rather that the Universal and I were one. “Now it is true that the Lamas are vegetarians, but not
strictly so. They do use eggs, butter, and cheese in quantities
sufficient to serve certain functions of the brain, body, and
nervous system. But aside from this they do not need meat,
for all who are strong and virile, and who practice Rite Number
Six have no need of meat, fish, or fowl. “Most of those who join the ranks of the Lamas are men
of the world who know little about proper food and diet. Yet
they are only in the Grand Retreat in the Himalayas a very
short while when they begin to show wonderful signs of physi-
cal improvement, due no doubt to the diet in the Lamasery. “No Lama is choicy about his meals. He can’t be because
there is little to choose from. A Lama diet consists of good,
wholesome food but as a rule it consists of but one article of
—25—food to a meal. That in itself is a secret of health. When one
eats just one kind of food at a time there can be no clashing
of foods in the stomach. Foods clash in the stomach because
starches will not mix with proteins. For example, bread, which
is starchy, when eaten with meats, eggs, or cheese, which are
protein, sets up a reaction in the stomach which often causes
not only immediate physical pain, but which contributes as
well to a short life and a not particularly merry one. “Many times in the Lamasery dining hall I have set down
to the table along with the Lamas and eaten a meal consisting
solely of bread. At other times I have had nothing but fresh
vegetables and fresh fruits, while at still another meal I ate
nothing but cooked vegetables and cooked fruits. At first I
greatly missed the large variety of foods to which I had been
accustomed; but after a short while I could eat and enjoy a
meal consisting of nothing but dark bread or some one partic-
ular fruit. Sometimes it would be a feast of one vegetable. “The point I wish to bring out to you gentlemen is not that
you should resign yourselves to a diet of one kind of food to a
meal but that you should keep starches, fruits, and vegetables
separate from meats, fish, and fowl at your meals. “It is permissible to make a meal of just meat. In fact, you
could have several kinds of meats to a meal. You can have
butter, eggs, and cheese with the meat meal, and dark bread,
and, if you wish, coffee, or tea, but you must not end up with
anything sweet or starchy. No pies or cakes or puddings. “Then again, your meal can be strictly starches. Then you
can indulge in all the sweet fruits, all the bread, butter, pies,
cakes, puddings, and fresh or cooked vegetables you like with-
out feeling any ill effects. But keep these meals separate. “Butter seems to be a neutral. It can be used with either a
starchy meal or with a meat meal.
