 the aims might be to induce physical chan ges as well
as altering mental state. Given that many  of the physical aspects at play here are rhythmical, it is
also worth looking at the conne ction between music and the PNS. Humans
interact with music at behavioral, emotional, and physiological levels, both
consciously and unconsciously. 67 Over 100 years ago, it was suggested that
the ANS forms a sort of “sounding board” that reverberates to changes in
consciousness. 67 Many centuries earlier, classical Greek philosophers
believed music and sports to be the two fundamental aspects of well-being. Contemporary experiments have explored how elements of music such as
beat, tempo, and pitch trigger emotional and behavioral responses, as well
as reactions in the physical and nervous systems. Singing has been found to reduc e tension, increase energy, and improve
mood. It directly activates the vocal cords and the muscles at the back of the
throat—which are connected to the vagus nerve. 68 Regular singing can even
increase vagal tone. However, the impact of singing on HRV was found to
be dependent on whether the singer experienced the task as stressful or not. A greater heart rate variable was found in professional singers after a
singing lesson, while amateurs showed lower HRV. Heart rate increased
after solo singing but decreased  after choral singing, indicating that when a
person is perform ing music, rather than just listening to it, the perception of
the task as safe or scary influe nces the resultant physical reaction. It has
also been found that trained musicians have a lower baseline breathing rate
than nonmusicians. 69
One study into the physiological responses to music found that even a
short listening session could bring about measurable cardiovascular and
respiratory effects. 69 The level of arousal or focused attention was largely
determined by the tempo (speed) of the music. Regardless of taste in music
or whether the listener was previously familiar with the piece, slow music
from a variety of genres reduced cardiorespiratory response. A pause or
period of silence in the music produced a higher level of relaxat ion than the
music itself, suggesting that music may give pleasure and potential health
benefits as a result of the controlled alternation of arousal and relaxation. It
was concluded that music can be used to induce relaxation and reduce SNS
activity and that it may be useful in the management of cardiovascular
disease. In a therapeutic setting, music has been used to enhance
parasympathetic activity and decrease congestive heart failure by reducing
levels of inflammatory cytokines. 70 Patients under going a 14-day  music
therapy course exhibited change s in HRV patterns that indicated enhanced
activity of the cardiovascular system. 71 One experiment into the impact of
music on the autonomic response compared healthy participants with
patients in a vegetative state or with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. Those participa nts with disorders of consciousness showed  replicable
changes in the balance between the SNS and the vagal system after passive
listening to symphonic music. 72
USING HR V IN THE REAL WORLD
As part of the training that I run for our Oxygen Advantage instructors, I
was fortunate enough to organize an online coaching webinar in August
2020 with Dr. Jay T. Wiles, a clinical health physiologist. Dr. Wiles
specializes in sports performance and holistic and integrative health, and he
is board certified in biofeedback and HR VB.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is controlled by the vagus nerve during exhalation?,
A: The vagus nerve is not directly controlled during inhalation, but is under direct control during exhalation.
Q: What is the primary focus of the study on the relationship between diaphragmatic breathing and athletic performance?,
A: The study aimed to explore the connection between diaphragmatic breathing and athletic performance, but not specifically to improve sports performance.
Q: What is the main function of the diaphragm?,
A: The diaphragm is the main muscle for physical act of breathing.
Q: What is the primary goal of HRV training, as emphasized by Dr. Wiles?,
A: The primary goal of HRV training is not to increase the reading, but to modulate and improve the autonomic nervous system.
Q: What is the recommended rate for slow breathing?,
A: The recommended rate for slow breathing is six breaths per minute.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>According to Alison McConnell’ s book, Breathe Str ong,
Perform Better, the lungs do not respond to physical training.35 Research
confirms that lung volume and function, including the ability of the lungs to
transfer oxygen to the blood, is not improved by training.35–38
During intense physical exercise, the breathing rate can increase to
between 40 and 50 breaths per minute. Since the volume of each breath is
around 3 liters of air, this equates to a breathing volume of as much as 120
to 150 liters per minute. For Olympic-level male endurance athletes, the
tidal volume (volume of air per breath) can be as high as 5 liters. Thisresults in a minute ventilation of 200 to 250 liters.35 Bear in mind that
normal resting minute ventilation is between 5 and 8 liters, increasing to 40
to 60 liters during moderate exercise. WHEN THE BREA THING MUSCLES TIRE
Because breathing increases substantially in this way during physical
exercise, the extra work of inhaling and exhaling places much greater
demands on the breathing muscl es. Unsurprisingly, this often causes fatigue
in those  musc les. According to the Lore of Running, by exercise
physiologist Tim Noakes, there is strong evidence that the diaphragm
(which is our main breathing muscle) and other respiratory muscles may
become exhausted during both short-term high-intensity exercise, such as
MMA or boxing, and extended activities like marathon running.39
The ventilatory response to CO2 influen ces the work of the breathing
muscles during physical exercise. If you have a low BOL T score, you will
need to breathe harder. Effortful breathing like this requires significant
increases in respiratory muscle work, both on the inhalation and on the
exhalation.40 As the breathing muscles tire, blood flow is diverted from the
legs to help support respiration. The decrease in blood flow to the working
muscles causes the legs to becom e fatigued, and you will be forced to slow
down or stop. As the breathing muscles overexert, metabolic by-products,
such as lactic acid, accumulate in the blood. Too high a concentration of
these metabolites further reduces blood circulation, hampering blood flow
to the limbs. Research into breathing techniques has shown that, when the
effort of inhalation is reduced, blood flow to the legs increases by up to 7%. Evidence suggests that the diaphragm is the most important breathing
muscle to target during respiratory muscle training. For instance, one 2016
study demonstra tes that over 50% of healthy athletes with varyi ng levels of
fitness will develop diaphragmatic fatigue after bouts of high-intensity
exercise.41
EXERCISING THE BREA THING MUSCLESIt is widely accepted that to stimulate any muscle to adapt, that muscle must
be worked harder than usual. But since aerobic physical exercise is
practiced within the comfort limits of the breathing muscles, it cannot
provide sufficient stimulus to cause the breathing muscles to adapt. In fact,
it is impossible for most people to sustain high-intensity exercise for long
enough to provide a load sufficient to improve the stren gth of the
respiratory muscles. However, the Oxygen Advantage exercises (see
Chapter Two) provide a meaningful strategy to improve respiratory muscle
strength, as that extra load can be added to the breathing muscles in a
nonstressful and controlled environment. In terms  of function, respiratory muscles are divided into the inspiratory
muscles, used during inhalation, and expiratory muscles, used during
exhalation. Exhaling requires less effort than inhaling, as the natural
elasticity of the breathing muscles helps push out the air. Therefore, it is the
inspiratory muscles that are most prone to fatigue. That is why the practice
of breathing against resistance, or inspiratory muscle training, specifically
targets the inspiratory muscles. This resistance can be provided by a SportsMask, a training support that
makes the breathing muscles work harder. The SportsMask has an
adjustable valve  opening, making it possible to vary the level of resistance
during inhalation. This resistan ce conditions the breathing muscles in a
manner similar to the progressive muscle training achieved in weight
lifting. The technique of restricting airflow with a specialist device is called
inspiratory flow resistive loadin g (IFRL). Studies show that it can improve
respiratory muscle strength between 20% and 50%. Breath holding,  done properly, can also provide a workout for the
respiratory muscles. Holding the breath after a passive exhalation creates a
strong air hunger and disturbs  the blood’ s acid-base balance. When the
breath is held, excess CO 2 cannot leave the blood through the lungs, and the
cells continue to extract oxygen. This alters blood gas concentrations,
increasing CO2 (hypercapnia) and decreasing oxygen saturation (hypoxia). Because CO2 levels are the primary stimulus to breathe, the excess CO2
will cause the breathing muscle s to respond. To restore blood gas levels to
normal, the respiratory


 often leads to some level of anxiety. Approximately 30% of adults
with epilepsy have depression and 10% have bipolar disorder. 58 Both these
disorders are related to increa sed risk of suicide. The same  is true in
children, but symptoms are harder to identify here. Research has
demonstrated that children with newly diagnosed epilepsy are around three
times more likely to also have a mood disorder. Physical health problems also affect many people with epilepsy. The
Centers for Disease Contr ol and Prevention National Health Interview
Survey  found that adults with epilepsy were more likely to also have
cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, inflammation, obesity, diabetes,
and other conditions, including arthritis, pain in the upper or lower spine,
and severe headaches. 59 Epileptics also have a higher incidence of sexual
dysfunction,37 early mortality, and sudden unexplained death. 60
Another concern for people with epilepsy is the impact of seizure
medication on bone health. Epileptics are more prone to fractures due to
decreased bone mineral density. 61 The antiseizure medications
carbamazepine, phenytoin, and phenobarbital cause a decrease in bone
mineral density by triggering release of the CYP450 enzyme, but non-
enzyme-inducing AEDs are also linked to altered bone health. 61 We lookedat the link between bone mine ral loss and breathing pattern disorders in
Chapter Thirteen. In all cases, whether comorbidities are psychological or physiological,
understanding the relationship between epilepsy and its associated
conditions can have a signific ant positive impact on quality of life for
people living with the disease. Indeed, scientists consider this to be a
priority for future research. More to the point, many of the problems that
exist alongside epilepsy, including anxiety disorders, diabetes, heart
problems, and respiratory condi tions, can also be contributed by breathing
pattern disorders such as chronic hyperventilation. EPILEPSY AND BLOOD FLOW T O THE BRAIN
Cerebral blood flow is known to change during seizures, specif ically in the
epileptogenic zone, the area of the cortex that initiates the seizure. 62 Blood
flow to the brain decreases between seizures and increases during them. Immediately after a seizure ends, cerebral blood flow becomes very low,
and it remains low for several minutes. Unfortunately, these changes in
blood flow prevent proper oxygenation of the brain. A 2017 study reported
that the most severe long-term result of repetitive epileptic seizures was
neuronal degeneration. 63 Researchers state that while the primary cause of
this is overstimulation of the neurons, new findings indicate that hypoxia, or
lack of oxygen caused by abno rmal blood flow, “may be to blame for as
much as half the neuronal death caused by the condition. ”
Research has found that cerebral blood flow can be improved with
breathing exerci ses. Again, CO2 plays a key role. One 2011 study tested the
potential for simple breathing exercises to increase cerebral oxygenation
and/or blood flow. 64 Scientists examined 18 participants aged between 19
and 39 years and recorded levels of end-tidal CO2 and brain oxygenation. Subjects were asked to comple te paced breathing exercises that included
breath holds on both inhalation and exhalation. The exercise involved
walking slowly for three steps while inhaling, holding the breath for three
steps, exhaling for three steps, holding the breath for three steps and so on. The researchers found that the main parameter influencing cerebral
circulation is the level of CO2 in the blood, and that an increase in CO2concentration of around 70% may as much as double blood flow. 65 When
more blood flows to the brain, the brain receives more nutrients and
oxygen, and this may have a significant influence on its physiology. People
trained in breathing exercises can increase their levels of blood CO2 by
learning to control tidal volume64 (the amount of air that moves in and out
of the lungs with each inhalation and exhalation). This mean s that it is
possible to improve cerebral blood flow simply by moderating the
breathing. 66
A second study, also from 2011, explored cerebral oxygenation in
people who were experience d in yogic breathing techniques. 67 Six
participants, who were each able to breathe at an extremely slow rate,
performed an identical periodic breathing exercise with a respiratory rate of
two breaths per minute. In all six subjects, the results showed  a periodic
change in cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. This result was repeated in
a 2016 paper by the same research team. 68
Given that much of the neurona l damage caused by epilepsy is caused
by lack of oxyg en to the brain, it is promising to realize that breathing
exercises can so simply improve cerebral blood flow and therefore brain
oxygenation. SLEEP MA TTERS IN EPILEPSY
Epilepsy and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are both relatively common
conditions. 69 However, they occur comorbidly more frequently than
expected, leading to considerations that a connection exists between the
two. It is under stood that epilepsy can aggravate obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) because it causes an increase in light sleep. Epileptic medications
can also produce side effects (such as weight gain) that increase the
likelihood of SDB, and epileptic seizures can trigger central apneas. It is also the case that SDB can impair epilepsy control due to repetitive
hypoxia and disrupted sleep. While this area lacks research, some evidence
suggests that, if SDB can be treated, seizure control will improve, as will
quality of life and general health and well-being. According to a 2018 article in Epilepsy Foundation, “there has never
been a prospec tive, multi-cen ter trial to evaluate the effect of OSAtreatment on seizures in people living with epilepsy. ”70 More research is
needed, particularly in the field of pediatrics. Healthcare professionals who
may not be aware of the connection between sleep disorders and epilepsy
need to be educated. However, there is some limited research into the
relationship between the two disorders. A 2008 paper exploring sleep-study
abnormalities in epileptic children describes the relationship between SDB
and epilepsy as “complicated and reciprocal. ”71 Researchers have looked in
detail at the link between epilepsy and sleep, and whether one affects the
other, but little has been done  to understand the mutual interaction of
epilepsy and sleep disorders, particularly in children. The 2008 paper
examined quest ionnaire-based survey responses from 486 patients with
partial seizures and 492 age- and gender -matched controls. It found that
sleep disturbances affected 39% of adults with epilepsy, compared to 18%
of the control group. 71
A 2019 Austral ian study published in Neur ology  found that 26. 5% of
participants had moderate to severe SDB, as defined by an apnea-hypopnea
(AHI) index of “greater than 15. ”72,73 (We looked at the AHI in Chapter
Seven. ) This study found that daytime sleepiness was an accurate indicator
of sleep  disorders in epileptics, but that age and body-mass index also
contributed to the condition. The small amount of research into this topic means that much evidence
is conflicting, both in terms of prevalence and diagnostic criteria. Section summary:

 forgot, and their mothers before them. We regret their tears; we mourn their sadness. But now, at last, we
break the chain. When the Goddess is ready to reemerge, she reemerges. There is
no person or law or institution that can hold her back. Like the
energy of Christ, of which she is a part, the Goddess nds her way
into the hearts  and minds of millions of individual women, and they
change. It doesn’t matter who doesn’t change when enough people
do. This is true in any social, political, or cultural tide. When anidea reaches critical mass, there is no stopping the shift its presence
induces. One of the most sophisticated, insidious conspiracies has been
perpetrated against women. Thousands of years of history have been
largely rewritten in order to erase from collective memory the fact
that men were not always on top. Archaeological evidence now
argues for the existence of a twenty-thousand-year period  of history
when men and women lived as equals, with neither sex dominating
the other. The earth ourished. The so-called feminine qualities of
compassion, nurturing, and nonviolence were shared by men and
women alike and were the most vital elements of social structure. Women were revered as priestesses and healers. Our intuitive
strengths were not scorned but respected. Our more uid modes of
thought and feeling were seen as creative rhythms, not aky girl
stu. To our mates and lovers, our children and friends, we were
natural priestesses. We healed one another through our
compassionate connection to spirit and earth. But we took a detour,
and the Goddess was masked. The world is currently set up according to masculine models of
thought and structure, and it has been for thousands  of years. Aggression, force, domination, and control have been at the heart of
our social agreements. Organization, technology, and rational
analysis have been the order of this very long day. During this time,
the feminine principles of nonviolence and surrender and the values
of intuition, nurturing, and healing were pushed aside. We forgot
the power of a tender touch. Slowly but surely, generation after
generation, over thousands of years, the feminine was made to seem
ridiculous. She was debased in men as well as in women, all of us
risking shame when choosing to relate to her. We could know her in
bed, and she was good with children. But other than that, she didn’t
belong here. She wasn’t silenced, just invalidated. She could still
speak, but she wouldn’t be heard. Note the Statue of Liberty and Emma Lazarus’s poem inscribed at
its base. “Give me your tired, your poor,” Liberty says, “Your
huddled masse s yearning to breathe free.” Her manifesto of concern
for human life became a cornerstone of compassionate strength atthe center of American consciousness. But our national mind,
dissociated from its feminine nature, has sought domination and
control instead of sharing and nurturing. Our words began to
change from “give me your tired” to “tell them to go home.” We
kept the statue, but we no longer take her seriously. During the
1986 centennial celebration in New York Harbor, I was struck by
the irony of the spectacular party thrown at the Statue of Liberty. A
government that had systematically dismantled the elements of the
social and political policy that formed the lifeblood of Emma
Lazarus’s poem now hosted a lavish celebration at Liberty’s feet. We
treat her the way we treat all women during times when the
Goddess is silenced: We dress her up and show her o, but we don’t
want to listen to what she has to say. And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves. The
Goddess awake ns in our hearts before she awakens in the world. We
must notice that she exists. We must honor and worship and revere
her, regardless  of the name by which we call her. For not to do so is
to dishonor ourselves. She is our feminine essence. She is the female
power and the spiritual glory that lies within every woman and
every man. Forget looking for earthly role models, because there aren’t many;
and even when  we nd them, they live their own lives and not ours. We must look instead inside ourselves. The Goddess doesn ’t enter us
from outside; she emerges from deep within. She is not held back by
what happened to us in the past. She is conceived in consciousness,
born in love, and nurtured by higher thinking. She is integrity and
value, created and sustained  by the hard work of personal growth
and the discipline of a life lived actively in hope. Build commun ity. Nurture those less fortunate. Become yourself. Seek God. No less potent steps than these will be deep enough to
move you forward. The crucixion of the Goddess—the invalidation of feminine
beliefs and values—lies at the heart of all our painful dramas. But
crucixion is merely a prelude to resurrection, and we are now
living at the beginning stages of the resurrection of the Goddess.This occurs not through the reemergence of any one particular
symbol, be it Mary, Quanyin,  Gaea, or Isis. She has many names and
faces, but her most important one is your own. Her reemergence
now is a cellular upheaval, a rising up from the depths of individual
women throug hout the world. It is a new spirit, a new strength, a
new conviction, and a new care. The most glorious angels light up
the sky when the Queen of heaven returns to her throne. These are
archetypal images that trace for us the trail of the feminine journey,
its purpose and direction. Women must remember how important it
is to honor women. In “reforming” the Christian church, Martin
Luther chose to throw out Mary. In rediscovering the church within
us, we choose to bring her back. A powe rful tool for the reclamation of our glorious feminine
identity is the worship of female gods. As the mother of the son of
God, the Virgin Mary gave human birth to God’s expression on
earth. Without  her body and her nurturing, the Word would have
remained just a word. Through her womb and her maternal
compassion, she became the vehicle through which the Word was
made esh. Mary is real. She is a symbol, but she is also much more than that. She is an energy, an essential hierarchical truth or being,  that is the
essence of all women. She is found in many religions. Some call her
the Goddess. She is active psychically, participating alchemically in
the areas of our suering and our liberation. For millions  of people,
she is no joke. At her birth, her parents knew her life was to be used in the
service of a great and holy cause. She was raised to be a channel of
light, which is to say she was guided in the direction of her highest
human qualiti es. She was entrusted by God with a profound and
mighty task on earth, and over the years her body, soul, and mind
were prepared for that service. To think of ourselves in terms of Mary’s purpose and ministry is to
heal our wounds. It is to ll our minds with the light that casts out
the darkness of myriad neuroses. In every area of our experience as
women, we are lost and disconnected because we do not perceive
ourselves in spiritual terms. We think of ourselves as esh and bone,résumés and relationships, clothes and cosmetics. The truth of who
we are, why we’re here, and where we’re going is far more
spectacular than any of these worldly things indicate. We are God’s
precious vessels, and we are always pregnant with his possibilities. This is not the kind of knowl edge that sounds sane when divulged
at a cocktail party. But in private, in meditation, in churches,
mosques, and synagogues, at ashrams, and in support groups, it is
the stu of truth that sets us free. And women need desperately to
be set free. We have been enslaved for centuries by our ignorance
and deep forgetfulness. It is time to remember we’re the daughters
of God. One of the themes of healing in the nineties is deeper spiritual
practice. When I say, “Go talk to Mary,” I mean  “Go talk to Mary”—
as in, go to a church, light a candle, sit in a pew, and let yourself
become very serious about this. Tell her, “Mary, I wish to know who
I am as a wife or girlfriend or mother or daughter. I wish to be the
woman I am capable of being. I wish to have your purity and clarity
and level of enlightenment. May the essence of my womanhood
become more radiant than my external self.” And that’s it. It doesn’t
matter what your religion is. Talking to Mary  doesn’t make you a
Catholic, nor does being a Catholic give you a special “in.” If Mary
doesn’t feel comfortable for you, that’s OK too. Find a Greek goddess
or a female Indian avatar you can relate to, or any other  symbol of
feminine divinity, and begin a relationship with her. Don’t see this as a joke or


 and this knowledge that we are not what the world expects us to be
manifests in a kind of social conscience that makes cowards of us all. Most
of us are afraid to be ourselves. Like chameleons we change colors to suit
our backgrounds. Our opinions are formed by what people expect us to
think; our behavior patterns are based upon how people expect us to
behave; and since we are always thinking in response to outside
circumstances, we scarcely know how we feel at all and never have any
sense of self other than the one reflected in the eyes of others. “To thine own self be true,” wrote Shakespeare, “and it shall follow as the
night the day, thou can’ st not then be false to any man.” It is important to
act in accord with your own nature. When you live sincerely and feelingly,
you become a pure channel for the expression of the Divine. Each of us is
accorded a unique individuality. As long as that individuality is unhampered
by inhibition and fear, it is capable of expressing something dif ferent and
vital, but when it is restricted and limited by apprehension, it cannot express
itself at all. The dammed-up torrent of universal ener gy then turns upon
itself, and the dual sides of the ego-nature, like the gingham dog and the
calico cat, “eat each other up.”
Countless people are restrained from learning because they are afraid to try. In them is a false pride that is connected directly to the ego, and it will not
let them perform awkwardly because it has no humility, and it will not let
them begin anything and be novices because it cannot stand any idea of
itself that is not better than others. If we can be rid of ego-self and have
accepted that we are only an instrument of divine will and action, we are
able to embark upon the learning of a skill with the utmost humility and
deep indif ference to the opinions of others. W e can be laughed at without
shame; we can be jeered at without ridicule; we can laugh at ourselves; we
can ridicule ourselves; but all the while our vision burns brightly, and we
know that one day we will have the attainment of the skill. W e have no fear,
for fear is possible only to the ego, and the ego has been subordinated in our
nature. W e embark upon all enterprises with courage, persistence, and faith. Just because we toil endlessly at the door of creation, that door eventually
yields, and marvelous works are wrought through us because our hand is
moved by the Divine. Whatever your aspiration, remember this: the masterof that skill is within you. Those who already possess it are greatest of all. Give over the doing of your work to that master and get yourself out of the
way, and you will find that you are soon performing with consummate
knowledge and skill.OceanofPDF.com

Creating Y our Own T alent

Creativeness contains a secr et. Cr eative people exhibit a deep psychic
tie with the inscrutable mystery of life. They perform in their work
with the same naturalness as the flower gr ows fr om the soil, for they
have attained to a unity in mental and spiritual r elationships that make
them seem part of the things they ar e doing. The consummate artist
becomes one with their task, so allied with it in movement and being
that it becomes almost impossible to discern wher e the person ends and
the work begins. Carl Jung stated that it was not Goethe who cr eated
Faust as much as it was Faust that cr eated Goethe. One seems
absolutely dependent upon the other since each r epresents the same
thing. Faust is an extension of Goethe, just as Goethe is an extension of
Faust. The Artist Incarnate

Talent is an absolute blending of the individual with their work. Paintings of
the great painter become the painter, just as the painter becomes the great
paintings. When we see a person who exhibits a great talent, we know at
once a kind of ecstasy at this manifestation of a supreme mind and skill. All
exhibition of talent is a kind of religious experience to those who behold it,
for it establishes a communion between the Secret Self and the individual. There is a living superforce whose sphere of action is lar gely invisible andoutside the boundaries of our workaday world. There is something more
purposeful than atoms. There is a higher evolved intelligence than any that
is contained within the human brain. There is a door into a world beyond,
which sometimes opens and allows the individual to be seized by strange
potencies tremendously above the level of their personal abilities. When
that happens we see the artist incarnate, the person with a supertalent, who
is able in one sphere of their activity to demonstrate directly to us the
incalculable power and wisdom and beauty of the Divine. The mystery of talented people is that they are rooted directly in universal
mind, that it manifests through them without any restriction or distortion by
the ego. It is not the person who is responsible for their work, but a power
beyond and above them that is manifesting through them, using them as an
instrument. In deepest essence each person is an artist and only comes to
their complete fulfillment as an individual when they get their egoistic
nature out of the way and allow the creative talent of the Divine to work
through them, to accomplish those tasks that can best be done through their
individually honed nature. When we live out our lives focused in the ego
and bound to egoistic desires and satisfactions, it becomes impossible for us
to achieve a spiritual awakening or to fulfill ourselves as creative persons. The world of material things is too much with us. Desires to be better, to
have more, to live in material comfort, blind us to the long reaches of
existence. This little life we live is important not for the creature comforts it
brings but for the search it involves us in. Until we make our primary
purpose the discovery of who we are and where we came from and what
our relationship to life is, we must live out our brief sputtering of the candle
in complete unawareness and blind automatism, following the pressures
that develop in the outer world as they impinge upon our senses. The Cr eative V ision

When our inner soul is touched by perception of the creative side of our
nature, we see at once the disaster inherent in a conduct of life based uponmaterial goals. W e see that this thing we have always thought ourselves to
be, our ego, is illusory, that the desires growing out of ego lead us into a
maze of intricate byroads that inevitably will lose our chance at
enlightenment. W e may give up all possessions, all fame, all creature
comforts, so as to be misled no longer, and take up our existence with a
resolve to be motivated in all things through an inner light that proceeds out
of universal mind. Such enforced asceticism allows us to engross ourselves
completely in the service of the Secret Self. John the Baptist prowling the
wilderness in search of his immortal soul is no more an example of it than is
the French painter Gauguin giving up career and family to exile himself on
a South Sea island to paint pictures. Each has been touched by the creative
vision; each must serve it at all costs. When our eyes have been opened to the creative nature of the Divine, we no
longer can help ourselves — we must serve it as an instrument, and nothing
stands in our way. The creative process is impersonal; it seizes the nature
and uses it to the utmost, and the person performs feats of creation far
above anything possible to their normal conscious mind. When this force
truly predominates in our makeup, it monopolizes our ener gy. In the
awakened artist, life is ruled by the subconscious. Conscious intention
means little, and the artist is swept along on subterranean currents in which
they are firmly enmeshed and in which they joyfully participate. Common Consciousness

Participation mystique is the secr et of artistic cr eation and consists of a
swallowing up of the individual by the Secr et Self, so that the artist becomes
an outlet for the manifestation of the beauty and variety and infinite
complexity of universal mind. No one truly does a thing well when they do it
with conscious intention. Effectiveness in action is always the r esult of
unthinking naturalness. W e do not come to skill in works thr ough objective
analysis of our action as separate fr om the action of others but thr ough a
complete identification of ourselves with the work to be done. SamuelTaylor Coleridge wr ote, “Fr om my very childhood, I have been accustomed
to abstract, and as it wer e, unr ealize whatever of mor e than common
interest my eyes dwelled on, and then by a sort of transfusion and
transmission of my consciousness to identify myself with an object.”
Participation in the life of another thr ough a mystic medium of common
consciousness is the essence of artistic cr eation. When we affect to do
something thr ough conscious intention and at the ur ging of the separate
and unique desir es of the ego, we ar e performing by the light of one candle
in an ar ena wher e thousands of kilowatts ar e available. W e cannot possibly

	Pasteur	Institute." Since	this	record	is	not	an	enviable	one,	let	us	view	rabies	from	the	standpoint	of

the	known	facts. We	have	seen	that	normal	dogs	are	also	classified	as	rabid	by

the	so-called	microscation	of	these	so-called	Negri	bodies. We	have	also	seen

that	the	identification	of	these	so-called	Negri	bodies	is	dependent	upon	the

individual	observer. Seldom	do	observers	agree. Experts	at	the	Pasteur	Institute

admit	that	Negri	bodies	are	not	a	specific	indication	of	rabies. They	also	record

many	deaths	by	treatment	with	the	Pasteur	system. On	the	other	hand,	reported	untoward	effects	in	nontreated	patients	(very	few

cases	are	reported	it	will	be	noticed)	can	be	explained	on	the	basis	of	fear	or

susceptibility	to	slight	injuries. For	example,	Dr.	W.	W.	Duke	of	Kansas	City,

among	others,	on	writing	on	allergy,	cites	cases	of	violent	convulsions	and

deaths	following	slight	injuries	in	individuals	seemingly	in	perfect	mental	and

physical	condition. These	violent	deaths	are	reported	as	resulting	from	scratches,	tooth	extraction,

hypodermic	injections,	extremes	of	heat	or	cold,	shock	due	to	various	causes,

love	affairs,	etc. The	allergy	experts	often	lay	stress	on	the	relative	importance	of

former	illness	which	may	have	undermined	the	health	of	the	patient. Such	varied

causes	would	indicate	"fear"	plays	a	profound	role	in	the	sequelae	observed. Dr.	Buisson	of	France	had	been	badly	bitten	by	a	dog	and	was	given	up	to	die	of

hydrophobia. He	recited	that	his	fear	was,	of	course,	intense	as	was	his	suffering. He	decided	to	try	to	relieve	his	sufferings	by	a	warm	bath. After	soaking	for	one

and	a	quarter	hours,	his	convulsions	disappeared	and	he	became	well. He	cured

all	other	cases	which	came	to	him	in	a	similar	way. The	Buisson	baths	were

employed	with	great	success	in	France	in	rabies	cases. In	Germany,	cases	of	dog	bites	are	sensibly	treated	by	applying	suction	to	the

wound	or	squeezing	it	to	induce	and	low	free	bleeding. They	leave	the	clotted

and	dried	blood	on	the	wound	without	further	treatment	and	they	never	have

further	trouble. In	my	experience,	nothing	stronger	than	mild	soap	and	water	should	be	used	on

such	wounds. I	feel	that	cauterization	is	too	shocking	to	the	tissues. Is	rabies	then	a	disease? Have	we	isolated	a	virus	or	germ? Is	the	Pasteur-
treatment	specific? Is	rabies,	in	short,	fact	or	fancy? I	believe	it	is	fancy,	for	I

have	handled	so-called	rabid	animals	and	humans	without	benefit	of	Pasteur

treatment	and	in	no	case	has	there	been	a	death	or	any	other	symptoms	of	rabies. I	submit	that	rabies	is	non-existent	and	that	the	Pasteur	treatment	for	rabies	is

worse	than	the	disease,	if	it	were	a	disease,	which	it	is	not. P.	S.	I	have	examined	and	witnessed	the	repeated	examinations	of	every	part	of

the	brains	of	the	so-called	rabid	dogs. The	mouse	and	rabbit	tests	have	proved

ridiculous	ever	since	the	time	of	Pasteur. MILLICENT	MORDEN

HERALD	OF	HEALTH	AND	NATUROPATH
Dr.	T.	M.	Schippell,	N.D. The	Doctors	Talk	it	Over
June,	1956

"WE,	NATUROPATHS,	HAVE	BEEN	holding	our	breaths,	worried	about	the

revelations	that	are	sure	to	make	themselves	manifest	as	a	result	of	this	Salk

vaccine	craze. And	it	is	a	"craze"—which	later	will	be	frankly	dubbed	‘crazy’	by

the	scientists	who,	in	the	future,	look	back	on	our	present	way	of	life. You	cannot

poison	the	human	bloodstream	with	the	decaying	products	of	a	diseased

monkey’s	kidney	and	not	eventually	pay	the	price	to	the	Almighty. "When	human	bloodstream	was	sealed	from	outside	contamination—that	was

seem	to	believe	that	they	know	more	about	the	functioning	of	the	human	organs

than	the	Creator. "This	dosing	with	‘Salk	slop’	is	in	the	same	category	of	so-called	medical

research	which	permits	a	surgeon	to	yank	the	tonsils	from	a	helpless	child	or

        If	the	ignoramus	ever	stops	long	enough	to	ask	the

simple	question:	How	was	the	first	case	of	polio	"exposed"	to	polio,	he’ll	grab

his	hollow	needle	and	start	inoculating	every	child	in	sight. One	physician	who	estimated	that	he	was	inoculating	six	children	daily,	asked:

"When	mothers	come	in	and	ask	for	it	for	their	children,	what	else	can	we	do	but

give	it	to	them. " Behold	the	degradation	of	"medical	science. " It	is	reduced	to

the	base	position	of	a	mere	panderer	to	the	ignorant	wishes	of	the	frightened

layman. The	physician	is	no	longer	the	trusted	and	expert	adviser	of	the	people
—he	merely	keeps	a	supply	of	convalescent	juice	on	hand	and	sells	it	to

whomsoever	comes	to	buy,	just	as	the	dry	goods	salesman	sells	any	kind	of	cloth

his	customers	want. The	mother	prescribes,	the	physician	merely	carries	out	her

orders. What	can	they	do. They	have	frightened	the	wits	out	of	the	people	and	they	have

paraded	their	serum	in	the	public	press	in	the	most	dramatic	manner	for	days	and

weeks. They	created	the	demand	and	then,	with	an	air	of	hurt	innocence,	they

ask:	"What	can	we	do	when	the	people	ask	for	it. " I	could	tell	the	damned

rascals	what	they	could	do,	but	I	have	no	idea	that	there	is	enough	honesty	and

self	respect	left	in	the	profession	to	cause	them	to	do	it. This	thing	is	greatly

increasing	their	incomes	and	they	are	not	going	to	quit	it. It	is	significant	that	the	drug	stores	were	well	supplied	with	sufficient	gamma

globulin	to	meet	the	demand. Small	vials	containing	two	cc	of	the	serum	retailed

at	$6. 75	a	vial	and	the	sales	were	described	as	"heavy. " The	manufacturers	and

sellers	of	the	voodoo	concoction	were	ready	and	willing	to	cash	in	on	the

publicity	before	the	ultimate	failure	of	the	experiment	becomes	known. Every

physician	in	the	country	is	well	aware	that	the	gamma	globulin	will	not	prevent

polio. But	they	justify	their	pumping	of	this	soup	into	the	bodies	of	children	on

the	grounds,	to	quote	the	words	of	one	San	Antonio	pediatrician,	that	"We	don’t

A FOUR-WEEK EXAMPLE OF THE FITNESS LIFESTYLE • 203 BLUEBERRY-CANTALOUPE SUPREME 10 Mia. This is a delectable summer fruit salad. Mango can be substituted for the
cantaloupe. A ripe mango will be soft to pressure but not mushy. It should
be very red, yellow-orange, or yellow-green. True green on a mango indi
cates that it is not yet ripe and will be sour. Peel the mango, and cut the
fruit from the seed. Freeze summer fruits for winter enjoyment. To freeze
fruits, cut them into pieces. Quarters are most convenient for peaches,
nectarines, apricots, etc. Berries may be left whole. Melons should be cut
into two-inch chunks. Bananas can be frozen whole, but should be peeled
first. Papayas and mangos should be peeled and cut into pieces. Fruits
should be placed in airtight containers and frozen. All frozen fruits can be
turned into wonderful fruit freezes with a Champion or Oster juicer. Yz cantaloupe, cut into bite-size cubes or in balls, or 1 mango, cut in

2 Babcock peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup blueberries
1 small banana, cut into slices (optional)

Here's another incentive to purchase a juicer, which will not only enable
you to make your own fresh juices, but will also open the door to a

signs of intoxication. However, as soon as the
disposal of the ketone bodies begins, their con-
centration stops increasing, and since the ketone
bodies are high -energy components, they serve
as fuel for the synthesis of new amino acids,
which can lead to tissue regeneration. The pro-
cess of regeneration can be accompanied by se-
vere pain and you should be prepared for it. Ini-
tially, the acidotic crisis can happen on day 4, 3
or even 2 after you start your dry fast. With each
new fast it happens sooner. The faster it passes,
the more time is left for the renewal of the body.
At that time you can experience acetone -odor

no need to be afraid of any phenomena, since,

environment, symptoms become somewhat

Fasting is a process of increasing physiological
regeneration, renewal of all cells, their molecular
and chemical composition.
Interestingly, biochemical changes during fast-
ing and reparative regeneration are very similar.
Both cases entail two phases: destruction and re-
covery.  In both cases, the destruction phase is
characterized by the prevalence of
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdecomposition of protein and nucleic acids over
their synthesis, shift of pH to acidity, acidosis
and more. The recovery phase in both cases is
also charac terized by the prevalence of synthesis
of nucleic acids over their decomposition, and a
return of pH to its neutral state.
From the teaching on regeneration we know
that the amplification of the destruction phase
leads to the amplification of the recovery phase.
Therefore, with sufficient foundation, we can
consider fasting a natural stimulatory factor of
physiological regeneration.
At the basis of fasting, there is a biological pro-
cess that leads to the renewal and rejuvenation
of the tissues of the whole  body. In environmen-
tally unfriendly conditions, modern human’s
physiological regeneration mechanisms work

cleansed and the regeneration mechanisms
begin to work in a natural way. All that can be
regenerated has natural tendencies towards self -
cleansing and recovery. It rejects anything alien
by itself, as soon as the process of deliberate vol-
untary intoxication ends. All that is capable of
regeneration really likes cleanliness, periodicity
and dosage. During dr y fasting, diseased, patho-
logical tissues are primarily destroyed, which
launches a truly universal mechanism of healing
bodily injuries using the internal cell reserve —
bone marrow stromal cells, one of the main
mechanisms of eliminating cranio -cerebral inju-
ries’ consequences.
After ending a fast, one can observe an ampli-
fication of regenerative processes in bone

ically dividing cells, etc.). Indices of hemogenesis
regeneration in peripheral blood (skein cells, for
example), generally surpass initial numbers
threefold.
But the most important thing is that more
brain stromal cells than usual are produced.
These cells can turn into any other cells when
they reach the corresponding part of the body.
Stromal cells begin arriving in the damaged area,
when they receive an appropriate signal from the
central nervous system. When they reach the
damaged area, certain signal molecules instruct
them to transform into the missing cells of the
damaged tissue.

temperature may increase. This is a physiologi-
cally normal phenomenon during dry fasting.
Shivering or fever is possible, depending on the
nature of the patient and the symptoms of the
disease, as well as on the patient’s sex and age. As
we already know, during dry fasting toxins burn,
one can say, in their own furnace — in the ab-
sence of water every cell starts an internal ther-
monuclear reaction. So we obtain a sort of an ex-
treme express method for destroying everything
unnecessary, heavy, and pathological inside the
cell. Each cell becomes a mini -furnace, a mini -
reactor. It’s as if the body’s internal temperature
increased. This temperature may not be regis-
tered with a thermometer but it is experienced as
internal fev er or shivering by people who are in

point in this condition is the fact that tempera-
ture itself is an important part of the body’s de-
fense mechanisms. From our own experience we
know that in the presence of h igh fever all toxins
and poisons are destroyed, even cancer cells fully
halt their vital functions. Such a process speeds
up recovery. Reacting with an increase in tem-
perature, the organism causes deceleration in
the growth of microorganisms. It becomes ea sier
for the immune system to track down and kill
anything alien and altered.
One can also observe a decrease in the cold
threshold, normalization of thermoregulation
processes, manifested in hot flashes and requir-
ing use of cold water, which stabilizes t he pa-
tient’s condition. All catarrhal diseases are out of

tolerate dousing with cold -water well, you can
walk barefoot on snow or dew, douse yourself

Abdominal and  spinal self -massage, cupping

The weight loss amounts to up to 1 kg. In the
presence of fever all metabolic processes in the
organism accelerate, that’s why exotoxins and
endotoxins that cause disease are destroyed
faster. Ovarian cy sts resolve themselves, mas-
topathy and myomas disappear, even cancer
cells fully stop their vital functions. It’s also
known  that when temperature increases, inter-
feron, which enables the body to fight viruses, is
secreted more actively. When temperature rises,
antibodies that protect the organism from
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdiseases are produced more actively. Phagocytic
and bactericidal activity of cytotoxic neutrophils
is enhanced; efficiency of lymphocytes grows
stronger. One of the most important cells, the T -
cell, works be st in the presence of fever. Cancer
researchers decreased tumor sizes by warming
them thoroughly. High temperature decreases
vital functions in pathogenic microorganisms.
In the early 20th century doctors used fever to
treat syphilis and some forms of chronic arthri-
tis: the patients were placed in a heated box. In
our daily lives we can always observe that pets,
as well as young children, refuse to eat when they
have a fever. The absence of  appetite is very often
encountered during different infections, but it
still isn’t known for sure where this symptom
comes from and what it means.

 onfresh, raw food; one week on dilute carrot juice with some green leafy vegetablesjuice too; one week on water fasting; and then she repeated the series. After sixweeks of detoxification, I gave Alice a Life Extension megavitamin formula,discovered she could not handle the acid form of vitamin C (that she had alreadybeen taking) and had her start on protomorphogens to rebuild her weakenedendocrine system, her exhausted adrenals and weak pancreas. She also begantaking pancreatic enzymes when she ate vegetable protein. She was put on amaintenance diet that eliminated foods she was allergic to; the diet primarilyconsisted of whole grains, nuts, cooked and raw vegetables, and raw fruits. Onher maintenance diet Alice had a profound resurgence of energy and rediscovereda sense of well-being she had not known for decades. She began to feel like shehad when she was a child. Her constant sinus drip was gone. She was able tostop taking synthetic thyroid hormones and instead, supported her endocrinesystem with protomorphogens.
A Rampaging Infection
At the age of 40, John, an old bohemian client of mine, came into a moderate
inheritance and went “native” in the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific. He spentabout four months hanging out with the locals. Life there was so much fun thatJohn completely forgot that his body was actually rather delicate, that many of hisorgans were weak, and that to feel good, he had to live a fairly simon-pure life.
But the jovial, accepting, devil-may-care Fijians enjoyed a constant party,
even more so because John’s money allowed the Fijians to manifest powerful,tropical, home-grown strains of recreational herbs to smoke in abundance, beerand rum and worse, the Fijians (and John) constantly used a very toxic thoughonly mildly-euphoric narcotic called kava, something Europeans usually have nogenetic resistance to. The Fijians (and John) also ate a lot of freshly-caught fishfried in grease, well-salted, and huge, brain-numbing bowls of greasy starches,foods that they call i’coi, or “real food” as opposed to things like fruit and
vegetables that aren’t real food because they don’t knock you to the floor forhours trying to digest them in a somnambulant doze.
John miraculously kept up with this party for a few months and then, while
scuba diving, got some small coral scratches on his leg. These got infected. Theinfections got worse. Soon he had several huge, suppurating, ulcerous sores onhis legs and worse, the infections became systemic and began spreading rapidly.He was running a fever and was in considerable pain. So John booked anemergency ticket home and fled to find Doctor Isabelle. When I met his plane hewas rolled out in a wheelchair, unable to walk because of painfully swollen legs.
John was violently opposed to ordinary medical treatment; he especially would
not have taken antibiotics even if he had died without them because previouscourses of antibiotics had been the precipitant of life-threatening conditions thatfirst brought John to my care. John used his last strength to get to me because heknew that had a hospital gotten its clutches on him the medical doctors wouldhave done exactly as they pleased.
I gave John a colonic, a gentle, mental spanking, and put him to bed without
any supper. He started water fasting and did colonics every day. He begangobbling vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) a few grams every hour. I put hugepoultices on his sores made of clay and chopped lawn grass (we needed a weekor so before a tray of wheat grass would be ready). John’s sores were amazing.Every day a new one seemed to appear on a different part of the body. The oldones kept getting bigger and deeper. The largest original ones were about threeinches in diameter, smelled horribly and had almost eaten the flesh down to thebone. His pain was severe; there was no position John could assume that didn’tirritate one sore or another, and it was a good thing my house was remotebecause John frequently relieved his pain by screaming. John was never delirious,but he was always original. He did not have to scream, but enjoyed its relief andhowled quite dramatically. I wore earplugs.
After about two weeks of water fasting, John counted up the total of his sores.
There were forty three. Seven or eight of them were enormous, two or threeinches in diameter and well into the flesh, but the last ones to appear wereshallow, small and stayed small. After that point no more new ones showed upand the body began to make visible headway against the infection. Very slowlyand then more and more rapidly, the sores began to close up and heal from theedges. John’s fever began to drop. And he had less pain. I should mention thatJohn brought an extremely virulent and aggressive pathogenic organism into ourhouse to which we Americans had no resistance. Both my husband and I wereattacked where the skin had been broken. However, unlike John, in our cases,our healthy bodies immediately walled-off the organism and the small, reddenedpustules, though painful, did not grow and within a week, had been conquered byour immune systems. And after that we had an immunity.
After about three weeks of his fasting we were thoroughly tired of hearing
John’s cathartic howls, tired of nursing a sick person. We needed a break. John atthis point could walk a bit and was feeling a lot better. John had previously water
fasted for 30 days and knew the drill very well. So we stocked up the vitamin C
bottle by his bed and went to town for the weekend to stay in a motel and see amovie. As they say in the Canadian backwoods, we were bushed.
John had promised to be good. But as soon as we left he decided that since he
felt so very much better, he could break his fast. He knew how to do this andfortunately for him, (it was very much premature for John to eat) did it more orless correctly, only eating small quantities of raw fruits and vegetables. But by thetime we got back home three days later, John had relapsed. The pain was rapidlygetting much worse; the sores were growing again and a few small new onesappeared. Dr. Isabelle again took away his food and gave him another verbalspanking a little more severe than the one he’d had a few weeks earlier and puthim to bed again without his supper.
After two more weeks on water, John had gained a great deal on the sores.
They were filling in and weren’t oozing pus, looked clean and the new formingmeat looked a healthy pink instead of purple-black. But John had been veryslender to start with and by now he was getting near the end of his food reserves.He probably couldn’t have fasted on water for more than one more week withoutstarvation beginning. But this time, when he broke his fast, it was under closesupervision. I gave him dilute juice only, introduced other sustenance verycautiously and made absolutely sure that reintroducing nourishment would notpermit the organism to gain. This time it didn’t. John’s own immune system,beefed up by fasting, had conquered a virulent organism that could have easilykilled him.
Before the era of antibiotics, before immunizations to the common childhood
illnesses, people frequently died of infections as virulent as the one that attackedJohn. They usually died because they “ate to keep up their strength.” Most ofthese deaths were unnecessary, caused by ignorance and poor nursing care. Forexample, standard medical treatment for typhoid fever used to consist of spoon-fed milk—sure to kill all but the strongest constitution. Even without the assistance
of massive doses of vitamin C, if people would but fast away infections they could
cure themselves of almost all of them with little danger, without the side effects ofantibiotics or creating mutated antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
Dr. John Tilden, a hygienist who practiced in the ‘20s, before the era of
antibiotics, routinely fasted patients with infectious illnesses. Supporting the sickbody with wise nursing, he routinely healed scarlet fever, whopping cough,typhoid, typhus, pneumonia, peritonitis, Rocky Mountain fever, tuberculosis,gonorrhea, syphilis, cholera, and rheumatic fever. The one common infection hecould not cure was diphtheria involving the throat. (Tilden, Impaired Health,  V ol.
II).
Recently, medical gerontologists have discovered another reason that fasting
heals infections. One body function that deteriorates during the aging process isthe production of growth hormone so the effects of growth hormone have beenstudied. This hormone also stimulates the body to heal wounds and burns, repairbroken bones, generally replace any tissues that have been destroyed and, growthhormone stimulates the immune response. Growth hormone also maintains muscletone and its presence generally slows the aging process.
Growth hormone might make a wonderful life-extension supplement; on it a
middle-aged person might readily maintain the muscle tone of youth while slowingaging in general. Unfortunately, growth hormone cannot at this time beinexpensively synthesized and is still far too costly to be used therapeuticallyexcept to prevent dwarfism. However, any technique that encourages a body toproduce more of this hormone would be of great interest to life extensionists.
The body only produces growth hormone at certain times and only when
certain nutrients are present in the blood. Gerontologists call these nutrients“precursors.” The precursors are two


 un-derstand the beauty of creation.
Many people think that Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden
of Eden. They were not naked until the fall. They were clothed in light we are told in the Book of Psalms. One of the interesting things about Adam and Eve as they were clothed in the light, was that they were in the image of God, and the Word says God is "a flaming fire, a flaming torch," and in the Book of Revelation it says when we are translated we shall be "like Him, we shall shine as the sun."
One thing about man being created in God's image, we were cre-
ated without any blood in our veins, or we were created without the need to breathe oxygen. If we had breathed oxygen we would have exploded and would have caught fire. According to the mathematics of the frequency upon which we live, the temperature of Adam and Eve's body in the Garden of Eden before the fall was 980 degrees cen-tigrade, because their bodies were anionic.
Adam needed a helpmate so God gave him Eve. The word ADAM means "red," for Adam was made from the dust
of the earth, and it was red. Eve was taken from the rib of Adam, and male and fern ale created He them.
Some believe that the tree in the midst of the Garden was the tree
of sense. I believe it was a fruit. As Eve partook of this fruit she was tempted by the king of all beasts, the dinosaur (serpent) and he was commanded to crawl on hi belly because he deceived Eve. The dino-saur became the snake after he lost his legs and was not in the Ark, so we are led to believe that the flood completed the extinction of the di-nosaur.
Adam had a choice of either eating the fruit and having a wife, or
he had a choice of not eating the fruit and losing his wife. He chose to partake of her sin and have a wife. Adam's sin was: he listened to his 138 wife, instead of listening to God. God made man the head of the
house, the prince, the high priest of the home.
I've never seen a happy home when the father was not the high
priest of that home. It is his duty to lead his family to the Lord. That's why Abraham was such a great man for he led his family in the ways of the Lord.
After Adam partook of the fruit he realized that they were naked,
and a change had taken place in th eir body chemistry. It changed from
anionic to cationic. There was now blood in their veins and there was sweat, they would earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, and there was death and they began to die.
Any day that one breathes oxygen that day they begin to die. Oxy-
gen is known as the element of time. It is the element that brought time into existence because where there is no time, there is no oxygen or death. You might ask: "If there was day and night is that not time?" No. You can have rhythm without time, but you cannot have time
without rhythm. Adam had lost his anionic body and was living in the
age of time, which denotes an end. Time denotes a death. Have you ever had an appointment and somebody didn't show up? This created a problem. Time denotes problems. So here then is another proof that Adam and Eve breathed oxygen because oxygen is known as the sword of all elements. Everything that comes in contact with oxygen begins to break down. Metals begin to  rust and deteriorate. Apples cut
open begin to turn brown.
Man cannot live without oxygen. What did Adam and Eve breathe
before they breathed oxygen? The Word tells us when God breathed into man the breath of life he became a living soul, and this was while he was still in the Garden. God breathed into Adam the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Divine Supremacy of something that is greater than we can express in any human language. Adam's dominion never used oxygen, neither did the fish of the sea or the animals, nor did the trees need carbon dioxide. They lived on the atmosphere of God. So when Adam fell his whole dominion fell. Before that trees never died and never shed their leaves. 139 Adam was the largest farmer that ever farmed the earth, that is, be-
fore the fall. His farm was approximately five times the size of the
United States and in Adam's anionic body he was not limited by time or space. He could go great distances instantaneously. This is hard for us to conceive of now. Suppose you wanted to make a telephone call from where you live to the farthest opposite city on the North Ameri-can Continent. You could go there and tend to the business and come
back quicker than you could get a telephone call through. This gives an idea of how fast the anionic body can move. An anionic body could be all over the Garden of Eden each day.
When Adam and Eve began to breathe oxygen their body chemis-
try changed and they had cations, which meant a loss of mineral, which meant a loss of energy. When the earth was young there were minerals everywhere and the people lived to an old age. Adam lived 920 years and Methuselah lived 969 years.
When the three Hebrew children, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-
nego refused to bow to the golden image set up by King Nebuchad-nezzar, they were bound and cast into a burning, fiery furnace. It had been heated "seven times more than it was wont to be heated." The flame of the fire slew the men who placed them in the furnace, yet when the king looked, he said, "Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have  no hurt; and the form of the fourth
is like the Son of God." When they came out their clothes were not burned, or even smelled of smoke.
When Elijah was taken up to heaven in a flaming chariot-a chariot
of fire-bears out what I'm saying about the temperature of God, the Father and the Son.
When Jesus was crucified a sword was thrust in His side and His
blood and water ran out. He shed the last drop of blood He had for your sins and my sins and then was buried, and on the third day He arose again. He went down in a cationic body and He arose in an ani-onic body like Adam and Eve had in the Garden of Eden before the fall.
Let's compare the cationic body we have and the anionic body our
first parents had. Whenever we eat food it has to be mixed with the sa-140 liva in our mouth, then it goes to the stomach where it is digested by
the gastric juices manufactured by the liver and the pancreas, and we
live off of' the energy of the food we eat, and the excess of this food is passed out of our system, excreted from our body, and there is decay. This food that passes out of the body is in the state of decay.
Leaves fall from the trees and decay. When animals die they de-
cay. This is because we are living in the oxygenic age. But in the Gar-
den of Eden, before the fall, Adam and Eve ate fruit, but the fruit was digested by the heat of their own bodies and the energy, or heat and electrical energy, went right out of their bodies. They had absorbed the total amount of energy that was in their food and therefore there was no decay. Like putting wood into a stove and the stove giving off heat, and yet there was no smoke. There were no bowel movements. They didn't have to urinate. There were no tears. There was no death. They were living in the age of eternity, in which there was no time.
Jesus, after He arose from the dead met with some of the disciples
and ate fish. That fish He ate went off as heat energy and electrical energy because He had no blood. There is no constant frequency in the blood, it is only our cationic flesh that has frequency. I Corinthians 15:50 tells us that flesh and blood shall not inherit the Kingdom of
God. Therefore, it cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. So we will have a flesh but not the cationic flesh. We will have an anionic flesh, and we too will again be clothed in light which will appear as a white raiment.
There is another important factor that bears out this biological sci-
ence of the resurrection given in the Bible. Hell is fire and brimstone.
Any high school student who has studied chemistry knows that brim-stone is sulphur, and that sulphur bums at 720 degrees centigrade, and that sulphur casts off heat fumes which displaces oxygen, which would make it impossible for anything that breathes oxygen to live.
Let us draw a conclusion now that heaven is hotter than hell, but
the saints can walk through hell and not even need a fan as their body temperature is 980 degrees, and hell only has a temperature of 720 de-grees. So we will then have become like the Father again, as Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. 141 Satan tries to make everyone fear death. He tells big lies about
death. He tells you that when you ar e dead you are going to be dead a
long time. That is not so. In death there is no time. The person that died in Abraham's day, or before, will not have been dead any longer than the person who dies one hour before Jesus comes, because out there,
