 final
moments of their lives, and they know it consciously, there’ s a
fundamental reason why that final impulse is the impulse to express
their remembr ance that the most wonderful moments of their life
were the moments when they experienced Oneness.
And there’ s a fundamental reason why whenever we talk to
people who are in the final moments of their life, and they know it,
there’ s a fundamental reason why they say those things.
And the reason is that the basic instinct... people think that
the basic instin ct is survival, but it is not. The basic instinct is the
impulse toward Divinity. And that impulse can be defined as the
experience of Oneness, or Unity—the Unity of All Things.
It is instinctive  for human beings to seek the experience of
Unity and Oneness with All of Life—not just with other people, by the
way, not just with other human beings, but with All of Life.
We pass a garden and we want to put our nose in the lilacs. W e
want to be just part of that experience! We look up at a night sky and
we yearn, we long—almost sometimes with an aching in our heart—
to some how merge with those diamonds in the sky. And even from
this great dista nce, from millions of light years away, we can still feel
the Unity  of being One with the night sky, and there’ s not a perso n
alive who has not felt that.
 DR. COOPER: It’ s so true. I love looking up at the night stars!

NEALE: Y es. And it’ s the experience of everyone.
And similarly, some people are drawn to the sea, and they’ll
stand silently at the seashore—I don’t know a person of any age who
hasn’t spent at least three minutes of their life standing  all alone,
silently, where they can hear the roar of the ocean as it smashes on
the shoreline, and even maybe catch a bit of the water with their feet
in the sand. And they feel that sense, as the ocean crashes in on
them, that they are part of the whole milieu of life.
And as the water recedes back into the ocean itself, having
washed the beach with each incoming wave, as it returns to itself, a
part of us goes with it. And we feel that. I’m not making that up! That’s
not just a poetic thing to say. We actually feel a part of ourselves
going back to the ocean.
Which is why we stand there and allow ourselves to have the
experience over and over again.
And I’ve had that experience of standing on a seashore and
watching the ocean come in and crash in on the beach and wash
back out again, taking an aspect of me with it.

DR. COOPER:  It’s so true—there is that presence that washes over
us in moments  like that, inviting us to become one with it. And of
course we are one with it—it is simply a matter of seeing it, knowing
it, and including it as an aspect of our awareness.
I find it interesting that many people are called to the water—or
called to Nature in general—during times of struggle and stress in
their lives. It is almost as if we know that when our smaller selves,our “ego selves,” get lost and caught up in the rat race of day-to-day
life, that returning to Nature allows us to reconnect with our larger
selves—the piece of ourselves that is eternally connected to All of
Life. And having that reminder, that connection with the natural world,
helps us to reclaim the peace, the truth, and the joy that is a part of
our essential nature.
I remem ber personally going through a stressful time in my life,
about a year ago. I felt a powerful pull to go down to the beach at
night and to watch the sunset, whenever I had time to, and whenever
I could. And I actually remember thinking to myself in those
moments, “Gosh, I wonder if I am called back to the ocean, and back
to the sunset, to see and to remember a piece of myself.” And it
sounds like this is true, from what you just said!
It was almost like an evening  “date” to go and say hello to my
soul again! To return to the Oneness— and in doing so, to remember
Who I Am.

NEALE: Not only that, my dear, not only that. Those are the magical
moments that are easy to identify. But the fact of the matter is that
every moment in life is design ed to call you back to yourself. You are
standing at the ocean shore every moment of your life.

DR. COOPER: Y es!

NEALE: Not just when the moments that are so magical you can’t
miss them, but when the moments are part of every single element of
your life. Nothing occurs in life that is not a “street sign” pointing back
Home.
DR. COOPER: Why then do you think it’s difficult for many people to
see that, or to implement that in their lives? To see that every
moment, and every situation, is an opportunity to “return home”?

NEALE: Because all of our lives we’ve been told the Story of
Separation.
It starts  with a Separation Theology, which says that God’ s over
there and we’re over here, and we hear it everywhere! Even if we
don’t buy it, even if we don’t believe it, even if we don’t have it as our
personal theology, we hear it everywhere!
And the Separation Theology produces a Separation
Cosmology. It simply creates a cosmological view of thing s that says
we live in an environment  where everything is separate from
everything else.
And that Separation Cosmology produces, inevitably, a
Separation Psychology—a psychological holding of life that says that
I’m over here, and everyone else is over there, and I’m separate
from everyone else. My longing to be otherwise notwithstanding, I’m
separate from everything else. And that Separation Psychology
produces all kinds of psychoses!
As every psychiatrist will tell you, and every psychologist as
well, that Separation Psycho logy inevitably produces a Separation
Sociology. That is, an entire society that imagines itself to be
separate from other societies. And “better”—not just separate, but
“better than.” I’m better because I’m white. I’m better because I’m
black. I’m better because I’m gay. I’m better because I’m straight. I’mbetter because  I’m male. I’m better because I’m female. I’m better
because I’m tall. I’m better because I’m short.
And that Separation Sociology inevitably produces a
Separation Pathology. Pathological behaviors of self-destruction.
Observable on our planet everywhere you look, across thousands of
years.
That’ s the answer to your question “why”! It’s because we have
been immersed in a Separation Theology, which produces a
Separation Cosmology, then a Separation Psychology, then a
Separation Sociology, then a Separation Pathology.
The pathway is quite clear.
And the reason that we find it so hard to follow the instinctive
call to rejoin the All—say, that’ s my poem for the day!— the instinctive
call to rejoin the All! The reason we have difficulty doing this is that
everything in our lives has pointed us in the opposite direction,
producing the outcomes I just gave you. So it’s not a surprise to me.
It’s not a surprise to me that we have a difficult time embracing our
Unity, except at the end of our life, when we realize that, in fact, our
life itself has proven it, over and over again.
We think back on the days and times of our life, and we notice
then, just as we are ending our life, that the only truly meaningful
moments were the moments in which we experienced our Oneness.
Not just with other people, but with the ocean, with the sunset, with
the night sky, and with All of Life itself.
And not only does that dawn on us, not only is that made clear
to us emotiona lly and psychologically at the moment of our Death
because of the glorious and happy joyous memories, but it alsoovercomes us at the moment  of our “Little Deaths”—the times in our
life when meaningful relationships and experiences end.
And we experience it so fully, in such a present way, as our “Big
Death” approaches because of the joyous and happy hopes that it is
a harbinger—a signal of things to come. And we smell it like the
fresh morning dew! “Ahhh! It’s back to the Oneness I’m going to
now! I know that I’m leaving here, but finally, finally—at last—my
periodic ‘alone ness’ is over. Everyone who I have ever loved will be
there! Everything I have ever deeply enjoyed will be enjoyed again!
And the God that I have adored with such open heart and open arms
will be welcoming me with open arms!

DR. COOPER : I get it! That is beautiful. So it is not only a
recollection of the most mean ingful moments of our lives, but also a
foreshadowing  that the Onen ess is and will always continue to be
the truth of Who W e Are

How Much to Eat
To give you an example of the volume of fruits and vegetables required, l et’s say you need about 2,000 calories per day. A
medium-sized banana has 105 calories; a large honeydew melon has 461 calorie s; a medium peach has 39 calories; and a large
simple salad may have 175 calories (a large 20-oz. head of lettuce runs about 96 c alories, and a pound of nonsweet fruits has about
75 calories).
To consume 2,000 calories from raw foods, you would need to eat something like a large  honeydew melon for breakfast (461
calories), a 12-banana smoothie for lunch (1,260 calories), 4 peaches before dinne r (153), and a large salad for dinner (175). This
would provide 2,026 calories, with a 90/6/4 caloronutrient ratio (90% carbohydrate s, 6% protein, and 4% fat). If you didn’t have
any physical activity that day, you might eliminate two bananas and on e of the peaches.
If it was a physical day, you could add half of a 6-oz. California avocado to the sal ad. It would provide about 145 more
calories, 111 of which would be from fat. The caloronutrient ratio for the day  would then be 86/6/9. Adding a whole avocado
would take the fat percentage for the day up to 13% … not a big deal, but it w ould be better to add a few pieces of fruit to meet the
extra caloric requirements of your exercise routine.

The Diet for a Lifetime
Just like the rings on a tree, life is about growth, which often requires  change. The 80/10/10 diet may seem like a huge shift in your
lifestyle in the beginning, but as the rewards for taking care of your body  unfold, you will come to see that the benefits of living this
way far outweigh the cost. Developing 80/10/10 as a lifestyle will enhance every moment of your life to come. I applaud y ou for

This appendix contains four seasonal sample menus for the 80/10/10  lifestyle, broken into one-week sections (seven days of
meals for summer, autumn, winter, and spring). Each two-page spread i ncludes a day’s worth of recipes on the left-hand side and a
corresponding caloronutrient analysis chart on the right.
Each day’s menu plan includes a breakfast, lunch, and three-cours e dinner, hand-selected for seasonal freshness and designed
to total approximately 2,000 calories. You can easily increase or decrease t he quantity of any ingredient, to adjust the recipes in the
direction of your desired caloric intake.
The smoothies, fruit salads, soups, dressings, vegetable salads, and slaws  in this section demonstrate the abundance of whole
fruit and vegetable meals available on the 80/10/10  plan. This guide emphasizes fruits in season, when they are freshes t and least
expensive. The 80/10/10  motto is, “simplicity at mealtime, variety throughout the year.” A s you become accustomed to this lifestyle,
you will discover the joy of eating seasonally and anticipating the ta ste sensations each new bounty of fruits brings. Feel free to
experiment! Use this guide as an inspirational tool to help you discover y our own favorite combinations.
Some recipes contain additional information, indicated by a dagger sym bol (†), to help answer your questions and smooth
your transition to this way of eating. These include helpful tidbits abou t fruit varieties and their availability, ideas for recipe variati ons,
and tips on buying, preparing, and eating the foods.
Don’t worry about your caloronutrient ratio at each meal, or even each da y. The 80/10/10  guideline (at least 80% of calories
from carbohydrates and at most 10% fat and protein) is intended as an aver age—something to strive for over time. Thus, as you
page through the menu plan, you will see higher-fat days and lower- fat days … but by the end of the week, the numbers all come
out to 80/10/10, more or less.
The best way to really understand the caloronutrient ratio and get a tr ue sense of the level of fat in your own diet, is to weigh
your food and enter numbers in an online diet-analysis program for about a we ek. We used Nutridiary.com as a basis for creating
this recipe guide.
Note that no two fruits are nutritionally identical. Each crop of produce ( sometimes even each piece) differs in caloronutrient
ratio from the next, depending on such factors as ripeness, soil quality, sh ipping environment, and time since harvest.
In addition, any attempt to standardize measures like “one apple” or “one h ead of lettuce” (although we do so in the upcoming
ingredient conversion charts) is subjective at best, given the reg ional variability of produce. Thus, the only way to accurately
compare food quantities is to list ingredients by weight, rather than by t he piece. All weights refer to edible portions only,  so be
sure to remove peels, stems, cores, seeds, and pits before you weigh your food.
Remember that each individual’s digestive capacity is differen t, as is their level of exercise. Both of these factors affect our
ability to absorb nutrients efficiently. As you mature in this l ifestyle, your natural digestive “fire” will increase.
For these reasons and others, the numbers in these charts are rough appr oximations at best. Use them to steer your diet in a
low-fat direction, but track your numbers in the aggregate, and don’t g et too hung up on the details.

Seasonal Availability of Produce
The following table offers an overview of domestic availability for comm on fruits and vegetable fruits. It is a broad, general list,
showing the greatest number of months these foods are commonly obtainable  at market nationwide, regardless of variety or where
they are grown.
For example, the papaya, shown to be available all year, includes several v arieties, from Florida, California, Hawaii, Mexico,
and Central America—each of which produces papayas at differe nt times. Modern distribution and storage technologies allow us
access to many of these foods throughout the year (sometimes at great c ost to our pocketbooks, our health, and our natural
resources).
In the following table, the dark-gray boxes represent a food’s peak dome stic seasonal distribution. The light-gray boxes
represent the onset and decline of the season. During this time, you may  be able to find these foods domestically grown, but they
tend to come at a higher price and reduced quality. To achieve maximum fre shness, I strongly encourage you to choose locally
grown, organic produce in season whenever possible.

 If Y ou Don’t Own a Scale…
We have listed the ingredients in the menu plan in terms of ounces an d pounds, in order to provide an accurate caloronutrient
breakdown. If you do not have a scale at home, the charts below can help you measu re out the quantities called for. Eventually you
will become proficient in estimating weights and average caloric c ontent of various foods, a skill that will pay dividends in saved
kitchen time.

. Thus, the body loses moisture camel
3 times slower than a donkey in the same conditions.
Without water. The most wonderful ability camel is
that he can not drink more than two weeks. In this case, the animal can
to lose almost a third of its mass that fatally for almost any
beings, then it quickly filled.
Maximum use of feed and water. Virtually all
Animals die when the accumulated urea in their kidneys
penetrates into the blood. Meanwhile, like a camel extracts the maximum
benefit from food and water, repeatedly recycling urea
in his liver. The structure of cells and the blood of the camel also allows
animal to endure a long thirst in a desert environment.
Cell membranes in the animal body are arranged so that
prevent excessive loss of intracellular fluid.
The composition of the blood of a camel that does not cause delay
in the circulation even in the case of minimum water content
in the body. In addition, his blood is different from other blood
creatures higher content of albumin - a protein
enhances endurance by dehydration.
A camel can in 10 minutes. drink 100 - 150 liters. (10 buckets of water). And if
he manages to find some relatively lush vegetation
food, the body can a camel without water several
weeks.
The body of desert animals, including camels,
should take care to retain maximum
moisture. It is believed that fat in the humps of camels - this is
real "water stores". and the higher the hump, so impressive
fat reserves, reaching a well-fed animals to 120 kg, which may at
32
32its decomposition to give more than 50 kg of metabolic water.
But there are other opinions. The ability of camels for a long time not to drink
determined not by supply of water as previously thought, and not just those
that can break down the fat in the humps, as assumed quite
recently. Feature of camels is that they are able to
lose up to 25% of the weight due to water loss, while retaining moisture
in the blood in much larger quantities than other animals.
In this case, there is no significant blood clots.
Of all mammals, only the camel red blood
cells (RBCs) have an oval shape. This ensures that they
advancement through blood vessels in the case when the blood is still
becomes more dense and viscous due to severe dehydration
organism.
In addition, camels lose much less water in urine
and feces than animals other natural areas. and another
feature - the camels can drink water containing significant
amount of salt. It is very important because in the desert, many reservoirs
brackish.
Unpretentious in food. Camel food consists exclusively
from plants and animal can be satisfied with most
bad food. His digestive system is arranged so
appropriate that this desert dweller can eat
local spiny plants, inedible to other animals,
For example, camel thorn and even branches of mimosa, the needle is
are free to pierce the sole of his boot. And in the case of a camel
happy to eat the old basket or a bed of palm
leaves. He, like other ruminants, is forced to re-
to chew the dry plant mass.
Of course, from the lush green food (beans, grains), a camel, too
not refuse, and this time he did not need water. Interestingly, when
relatively long feeding on the meadows of camels feel good
ill.
"Ships of the Desert". Thousands of years of camel transport goods and people
through the arid arid areas. He usually carries cargo
is half its weight, and most powerful - about 700 kg,
almost as much as weigh yourself. Under the saddle so on hot sand
and often without water the camel goes up to 80 km per day. in such severe
for all living conditions of any horse that did not survive.
Interestingly, the life expectancy of a surprisingly resilient
inhabitants of the desert is higher than that of horses, and is 35-40 years, but
there are individuals, even the age of 70.
Camels are immune to the most dangerous virus
diseases.
Scientists from the United Arab Emirates offered
actively explore the protective mechanisms of one of the hardiest
animals - a camel, in order to deal with human
diseases. Project leader Dr. Sabah Jassim said,
33
33because the camels are immune to the most dangerous
viral diseases, their tissues can be used to create
effective new drugs. Camels have a unique
physiological characteristics that allow them to
exist in the harsh desert conditions.
They cope with dehydration because their blood
system is able to store supplies of water, lack of food made up for
deposits of fat in the humps, camel's milk and stored
fresh much longer than cow. But that's not all. Immune
system of camels is so perfect that they are not exposed
most viral diseases, which kills more
mammals. They, like, totally impervious
to FMD and rinderpest. Camel antibodies
organism is much simpler than human, so says
Dr. Sabah Jassim, artificially recreate them much easier.
Moreover, antibodies produced by camels, the size of a
small. They are easy to introduce into the human tissue or cell, wrote
Dr. Jassim in the British scientific journal "Problems of Biology".
Until now, the camels as a source of making possible
agents to combat viral diseases are not human
pay attention.
The medicine of tomorrow, according to Arab scholars, immune
mechanisms of the camel will not only be subject to close
study, but also a means to combat many human
diseases.
Modern scientific research has shown that during hibernation
experimental animals without harm to their health
tolerate higher doses of poisons, radiation exposure, as well as
do not die and do not suffer from artificial inoculation of the microbes that
viruses, etc. This emphasizes the higher level of protective
adaptive capacity in mammals at
this version, the existence of living matter. in a state of suspended animation
living creatures (some microbes, fungi) can survive even
in the permafrost. Stability of microbial species
and plants to adverse external factors
(High and low temperatures, drought, etc.) under which they
fall into a state of rest or hibernation should be viewed as
protective device, developed over a long
evolutionary process.
Of all the varieties tested and identified by means of
prolongation of life the most effective ways of irony
and fate were the most common of them - this is a decrease in temperature
the body (hypothermia), cold-blooded (poikilothermic) organisms
and reducing caloric intake of warm-blooded (gomeotermnyh)
animals. These simple effects can lead to two,
threefold increase in life expectancy...
All these data suggest that the disease
34
34and aging is first necessary to contain the most important
in particular the regulatory systems of the body, "clean" so that they
function normally.
Increasing longevity, realized
as a result of periodic dry fasting, or stay on
restricted diets, like the lengthening of life attainable
in hibernating animals, which flows in a supply
organism of its own inventory at reduced
body temperature. Established that the higher the total (for all
life) the duration of hibernation of animals, the more they
life expectancy, as total, and that part of it which
they spend in the waking state. These data are reminiscent
and confirmed the necessity of following well-known rule -
is the last time a few hours before bedtime.
NATURAL AND OUTPUT and OUTPUT Artificial GI POBIO W in human
CENTURY
Ever since the days of Aristotle humanity surprised unusual
the ability of hibernating animals endure the most difficult time
in their lives, especially starvation and cold, in a peculiar
many months of sleep, not needing it any time in the water, no food,
At the same time retaining the ability to wake up to the onset of heat
fully and to continue a normal life.
Hibernation has been studied and studied deeply enough
and versatile, but science seems to be no, at St.
Gyorgyi, a fundamental fact, if you can not play it
state under experimental conditions, even more so - in the clinic.
At the same time not found any functional, the more
morphological features of hibernating, distinguishes them
from nezimospyaschih. Even the EEG recorded at one
the same temperature in hibernating during hibernation and nezimospyaschih
during normal sleep, does not fundamentally differ
from each other. Some researchers believe that hibernation
by using mechanisms that operate
and nezimospyaschih animals. Not only this, people meet, and not
so rare, a condition that does differently, like hibernation,
not name. On a possible hibernation in humans is said that it -
"A state that is absolutely inexplicable by any principle." Topics
however there are a number of people who exhibit
in winter, a state close to sleep.
This is true for the Inuit of northern Canada, for some tribes
northern Russia. Accumulating fat and winter, like bears, only
to a much lesser extent, the Eskimos prove that a person

MRS. MA CONCEPTION { Mexico }
During two years and 5 operations they practiced on me. I had one tumor and
another one was developing again. I already lost faith and then they prepared for
the sixth operation. A lady came to my room and said, do you want to be cured?
I answered to her and she said me that I must leave the hospital and go to a
conference in the temple of Our Lady of Consolation next Tuesday.
I said to her what she was going to think it If I leave it to God.
When several Doctors got to review me I asked them, What if they were going
to cure me by taking the tumor out, but again I would have another tumor grow?
They did not answer. I only saw their eyes and I interpreted their silence.
Soon after I ask that J better leave the hospital and I want to go to my house.
They said to me that was far better and there is a possible that I may live more
time. They helped me to leave and to discharge me the from the hospital.
When I arrived at my house I felt very alone and I thought, now what do I do?
They will no longer operate on me, and here 1 am i11.
Then I remembered what the lady said to me that Tuesday I should go to the
temple. I went to the temple and listened to the seated conference. Alone I was at
the bottom and from that moment I knew that I was going to be cured. They gave
a leaf to me of how to make the therapy of the Urine. I did it exactly including
fasting. In two months I healed totally of that tumor and now I take a normal life,
work and I request prayers to God that blesses so many ill people.

My name is Robert and I am 37 years old.
For approximately two years I have been having

excessive tobacco consumption, a1coho1 and bad feeding.
More than two years ago, one night, I felt I was going to die because my pressure
raised, raised and raised, to a degree it was a the point of a heart attach.
They took me to the hospital of the Mexican Institute of Social Security.

problem I had. I was hospitalized one week in total.
The arterial pressure did not lower (sometimes 150-90 or more) and the doctors
changed me to the floor for serious critical patients stay.
On the


 penis. Through
tender and skillful use of your other limbs in foreplay, you may
bring your partner to a state of very high receptivity as the first step
in gaining equality with a superior opponent.
Her breasts will rise, respiration and glandular secretion will
increase. You should wait till fluid rolls to the vaginal lips before
using your chief arm. Give your lover time to fully enter the condi-
tion of love before you enter her.
The battle between man and woman is over when both recog-
nize that neither can "win" by either dominating or submitting. At
that moment, both become free to surrender to each other and
exchange their deepest love—their vulnerabilities have been
matched and their fear of losing is neutralized.Polarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy 101
HIGHER ORGASM IS A DELICATE BALANCE
OF POLAR ENERGIES
But how to reach that point of tenderness, where both lovers
joyously yield and receive life from one another? It sounds great on
paper, but what happens to tense energies left over from a tough
day at work and an argument with your wife about whether she
should go back to work? How do you keep daily politics out of the
bedroom? This chapter will offer some practical ways to approach
love-making with the goal of balancing the flow of yin and yang
power. But first understand the principle of polarity is dominant in
this sexual practice.
The single most important point to remember about polarity is
that yin and yang energies are not separate energies: they are one
and the same energy, but with two different charges. They never
exist apart from one another, but are always in fluid motion, like a
pendulum swinging back and forth, passing from hot to cold, and
gradually moving to stillness at the perfect moderate temperature.
Another metaphor is to see man and women as two sides of the
same coin. During love, the coin spins rapidly, fusing the two sides
into one.
That is how man and woman can become "one": they simply
realize the flow of sexual energy between them is continuous and
belongs to them both. Each lover is at opposite ends of the polar
flow. When the exchange of ching chi reaches a certain intensity
and balance the solid bodies of the two lovers begin pulsating as if
charged with electricity. The feeling of having solid flesh disap-
pears. You are suddenly a pillar of vibrating energy held in ex-
quisite balance by your lover's field of energy. This is a total
orgasm of body and soul. The battling ego shrinks to its true size, a
tiny grain of sand, and reluctantly begins humming in chorus with
the ocean of the subtle universe that rhythmically washes over it.
Many men may have a glimpse of this, but few are able to
sustain the experience because they discharge the energy from
their half of the polar field by ejaculating. This is not true orgasm; it
is merely releasing the discomfort, the exquisite "itch" of too
much excited energy that has nowhere to move but out.
A true orgasm occurs when both man and woman continue to
pulsate together. Their sexual energy completes a full circuit be-
tween their two magnetic poles, charging each of them more fully102 Taoist Secrets Of Love
than before. This circle is the Tao, the black and white teardrop
symbols of yin and yang flowing into each other in perfect circular
harmony.
The flow of sex energy alone cannot complete this circle; love
must be present. The mind must participate in sex with a totally
attentive feeling. This circle of energy cannot connect if a man only
joins his penis with a woman's vagina without loving her with his
heart. That is like holding the ends of two horse shoe magnets close
and then only touching one arm from each magnet. The other arm
also wants to connect, to seal the magnetic attraction. Only when
both positive and negative poles of both the man and the woman
are locked in place can the energy flow with any power and stable
balance. That is why sex alone, without love makes you unhappy—
you're only connecting one half of yourself to the woman, and your
lower half at that. The flow of chi in the Tao's circle is broken, and
without that total flow between yin and yang no amount of sex will
satisfy your deeper desire for wholeness.
The ejaculatory orgasm to which most men are so deeply
attached restricts their life force to the genitals. During sex the
penis literally bursts with life, as it is too small to contain the
expanding sexual force. The penis was not designed to hold your
life-force anymore than it was designed to be your brain and central
nervous system. The real function of your penis is to conduct life
into and out of the body. The sex organs are only doors through
which life enters and issues forth.
When the upper poles of men and women are connected—at
the heart and mouth—as well as the genitals, then the magnet can
become an electro-magnetic dynamo. Then the chi can nourish the
ching chi in the lower half of the body, and combine together to be
transformed into spirit in the upper half. If both man and woman
cultivate their chi upward, and refine it to a high level through
meditation and love, they can develop a polarity which creates a
super magnet and conducts even higher spiritual energies through
their human form. Such experiences break through the bounds of
individual pleasure and sensation, and go beyond the satisfaction
of their personal egos to attain an entirely different state of being.
Perhaps you know a couple who is radiantly happy and deeply
loving and do not practice any esoteric method of love-making and
who you assume ejaculate and have orgasm to their heart's con-
tent. You are right to ask—why bother learning these seeminglyPolarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy

complicated and time-consuming Taoists exercises and methods of
sex energy transformation? Why not just love your woman the way
you know now, and let nature take its own course? Why meddle
with the one pleasure that above all others should be free of school-
ing?
The simplest answer is that Taoists are trying to help nature
take its course within humans, not to alter its basic processes. The
radiant and loving couple you know could be doubly radiant and
live 10 or 20 years longer in good health to enjoy their love if they
conserved their ching chi and practiced the transformation of the
sex energy. Perhaps their radiant happiness is more dependant on104 Taoist Secrets Of Love
external circumstances than you are aware—a good job, preoc-
cupation with children, etc. Will they appear so radiant in old age?
Is it progressing to more subtle levels? The Taoist love techniques
serve to speed up, intensify and stabilize your natural evolution.
There is no limit to the scale of good health and profoundity of love
possible. At the higher levels there are always new spiritual chal-
lenges to be met. The balance of polarity moves beyond the poles
of man and woman and you become aware of the play of opposites
between Heaven and Earth.
The Taoists know this high level of harmony is a tangible
experience that can be permanently known to man, they call it
Immortality. They prepare for it by conserving their sex energy
and harmonising their spirit with their lover. In this way love-
making becomes, in western terms, a way to draw nearer to God. It
can become the worship of divinity in the temple of your lover's
body and soul.
PREPARE THE YIN ESSENCE WITH GENTLENESS
As the man, it is your responsibility to see that your lover's organs
are literally first warmed. This is the Taoist way of harmonizing the
yin essence, of increasing her receptive power to love-making. Her
vital organs—kidney, liver, heart, lungs, spleen/pancreas—actu-
ally produce and refine the chi needed for love-making. If her inner
organs are weak or feeling sick, the music of your love-making will
be discordant or heavy no matter how good you are feeling. To
hear the music of the celestial spheres you must learn to orches-
trate her feelings and sensations with your own. Generally, it takes
longer for her organs to warm up and get into fine tune than it does
a man.
To return to the simple Chinese metaphor, think of woman as
water and man as fire. A man can light his fire quickly but if he
burns up his wood too soon the pot of water won't have time to
boil. The water will warm more slowly than the fire. So the man
should conserve his firewood while slowly warming up the
woman's water. Observe the basic rule of cooking: don't put your
carrots and peas (your penis and testicles) in the pot before the
water is already about to boil. A lot of men don't know this, since
they have little experience in cooking. If you toss the carrot and
peas in a pot while the water is cold, the carrots absorb cookingPolarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy


 and deflect that energy.
Remember, it’s impossible to pick a fight with someone who refuses to
fight! So your refusal to enter into battle is your most potent weapon against
evil. You can change an angry person’ s attempt to inflict harm by refusing
to lower yourself to the level of their abusive thinking. From an enraged
motorist’ s curse  to the harsh words of a disgruntled clerk or upset family
member, these outbursts are easily shifted when you stay centered inwardly.
Become immune to such harmful thinking and action by knowin g that none
of this is about you.
As he dictated this 60th verse some 2,500 years ago, Lao-tzu was thinking
about all of humanity. He knew that hurtful behavior could be rendered
impotent if enough people were willing to live in ways that encourage
cooperation and a spirit of love in place of competition and revenge. Now
he asks you to implement the wisdom of this verse by making the following
changes in the way you think about evil and its potential impact on you and
the world: 60th V erse
Bolster your immunity to negativity by contr olling yourself in the midst
of noxious thinking.
Catch yourself when you have judgmental thoughts that could be
considered harmful for yourself or others. For example, if you see yourself
as unworthy of respect, that’ s a damaging thought directed at you. Change it
to the following affirmation: I deserve and anticipate receiving only Divinelove. This is what I attract. When you’re confronted with any reports of
hatred and evil on our planet, suspend your fantasies of revenge toward the
perpetrators. Change your mental energy to something like: I send loving,
kind thoughts to all and trust that this love will help them see the folly of
their hatred. Be conscious of all of your thoughts, changing them
midstream if necessary. Become  one person who brings the benefits of the
Tao to our world.
Declar e yourself immune to injurious entr eaties.
Visualize a protective shield all around you, guarding you against what’ s
perceived as evil in the world. Your shield is permeable only to energy that
harmonizes with the Tao. Love, kindness, and help can all get through—but
if any harm comes near you, it will be repelled by your shield. This means
you create a great sense of faith in the Tao. With this kind of inner trust,
when evil rages around you, it won’ t be able to impact you directly.
Become the sage, the leader who governs your life and the lives  of those
around you, and who can’t be hurt. Declare it, practice it in your every
thought, and walk freely in the midst of danger. This isn’t having a false
sense of security; instead, it’ s an awareness that you and the T ao are one.
Do the T ao Now
The next time you think that you’re the target of a harmful thought from a
stranger, a family member, or a co-worker, make every effort to remember
to respond from your inner nature, which is the Tao. Send back a loving,
kind response, and then retreat to a silent and peaceful knowing that you’ve
begun the process of immunizi ng yourself from harm. By practicing with
even a seemingl y innocuous statement, you’ll witness how effective this is.
Approach the universe with the Tao in your heart rather than reacting
defensively.

A great country is like the lowland,
towar d which all str eams flow.
It is the r eservoir of all under heaven,

So if a gr eat country lowers itself befor e a small one,
it wins friendship and trust.
And if a small country can lower itself befor e a gr eat one, it will win over

The one wins by stooping;
the other, by r emaining low.
OceanofPDF.comLiving by
Remaining Low
Most of us have been taught that it’s important to tower over lesser folks
in virtually all of life’s endeavors. We’re told to “get to the top,” “stand out
in the crowd,” “be the best,” and “honor champions” who defeat
challengers. We’re expected to pay homage to those who make the most
money, collect the most mater ial objects, and evoke the most fear and
obedience because of their positions of power; and those who deign to live
among the “commoners” are the least deserving of our respect. This
passage of the T ao Te Ching invites us to reevaluate these beliefs.
Look at the ocean: It’s the most powerful force on the planet because it
stays lower than the streams, which are necessarily and inescapably drawn
to it. As the rivers flow downward to become one with it, the sea is able to
be the great reservoir of all under heaven. This is what Lao-tzu refers to
throughout the Tao Te Ching as the “great Mother” or the “feminine of the
world.” That female energy, or yin, is the true receptor of all; by remaining
quiet and still, it ultimately overcomes male (yang) efforts to subjugate and
conquer.
In the 61st verse  of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu speaks of the advantages of
leading by remaining low, using entire countries as his examples. He makes
the case for nations both large and small to be like the great ocean. As he
observed warrin g territories attempting to vanquish each other by exerting
their strength, he saw that peace and harmony could only be possible if the
territories behav ed in accord with the Tao—that is, by subju gating their
egos rather than their neighbors.
Lao-tzu was addressing count ries and their political leaders in this
chapter, but countries are made up of individual men and women. We need
to become a critical mass of individuals who are willing to model the
wisdom that the great Chinese master offers us. We all must learn the value
of maki ng a dramatic change in the way we think of ourselves and each
other. Yes, it may require a complete about-fa ce on our part, but if we begin
to lessen  ego-dominated thinking, sooner or later the world will get themessage that Lao-tzu proposed in ancient times. Nations all over the globe
will find that leaders with feminine yin energy are beneficial. After all, this
is the way of nature... it is the T ao at work.
You can apply the wisdom of this verse in the business world or with
anyone you encounter by updating the notion that towering above others in
the yang approach of masculine domination is the way to get ahead.
Instead, see the value of living as if you can win trust and friendship
through a yin approach of feminine receptivity and stillness.
As you try on these new attitu des and behaviors, quietly watch as the
energy from the following suggestions begins to influence your reality:
Reassess your personal view of what constitutes str ength.
Can you see power in humility, stillness, and remaining low and out of
sight? In martial arts, the strongest conqueror is the one who uses the least
force and converts the lunges of his opponent into his own might. Look at
the story of violence throughout human history: Those obsessed with
positions of power ultimately resort to brutality, and then incur the same
kind of violence on themselves. And so it is in your personal life.
By staying calm and under the radar, others will ultimately flow to you,
joining with you in creating friendship and trust. As you stay in this yin,
feminine, Divine -Mother mode, you’ll radiate energy and strength and win
over others... including those with an aversion to change. Think of
yourself as the ocean and stay low enough to allow all other s to stream
down to you and create a “great country” wherever you elect to settle.
Emulate those whose gr eatest impact on humanity used the least
violent methods.
There are many examples to be found for living by remai ning low,
replicating the example of stillness and yin energy. Jesus Christ, Buddha,
Mohammed, Zoroaster, Saint Francis of Assisi, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and
others of the highest spiritual persuasion serve as wonderful role models for
us. By demonst rating the exact opposite of what has becom e known as
power by force, they changed the course of human history. Furthermore,
they are remembered with the highest esteem by all people.You can become a similar leader of the Tao in your immediate
environment, smiling inwardly as you see yourself as that low, patient
ocean. All those who wish to tower above you in conquest will ultimately
flow down to you.
Do the T ao Now
Each day as you grapple with how to be an effective leader in your family,
in your country, and in the world, apply the following advice from Sai
Baba. This is what he counsels readers to do whenever they question what
action to take or how to think:
When head fast eyes ar e horrified
by the cruelties of life...
When your mouth is par ched
