 substance to be ener gy or intelligence, even
the most materialistic of researchers has been forced to the inevitable
conclusion that all things are basically ideas, that they are held in form as
concepts in some universal intelligence. It is through this universal
intelligence that we discover the sixth sense, that we arrive at spiritual
enlightenment. It is the immersion of ego in this intelligence that provides
salvation for the individual, allowing them to live their life in a state of
attunement and harmony. The psychological act of shucking of f the little
self and attaining to a lar ger self is what the great mystics speak of when
they record their arrival at the “moment of truth.”
There is a vast and great mind that is responsible for the construction of the
universe, that is in a very real sense the universe itself, and this infinite and
eternal intelligence creates only from its own substance, and everything it
creates is inherently itself, not something dif ferent, except through the
limitation imposed upon it by its becoming partial and incomplete.
Everything in creation is a manifestation of the one mind and intelligence
that underlies all. Each person therefore has within them a supermind which
is free of limitation and restriction, and this mind, working beneath the level
of conscious intelligence, is capable of absolute and truthful guidance in all
things because it understands and perceives all things.

Moments of Illumination

Universal mind is a manifestation of the Secret Self, of that divine will that
inexorably leads humankind upon the path of evolution. The surface mind
and ego are products of the five senses, of that knowledge that we acquire
during the period of our lifetime, and since they are the results of limited
knowledge and partial experience, they are the poorest vehicles for theconduct of action. Absolute ef fectiveness comes to those who immerse ego
in universal mind and allow the Secret Self to guide them. Their
psychological position is that of a listener; their inner mind and heart
become attuned to a wider consciousness, a greater sense of being;
impressions, knowledge, and intuitive ur gings come to them from out of
this source with an authority greater than anything received through their
sensory or gans.
“Ever and anon the trumpet sounds from the hid battlements of eternity,”
wrote the English poet and mystic Francis Thompson. And to each of us as
we go through life, a moment comes, however fleeting, when a crack
appears in the hard wall of consciousness, and we see through briefly, into
regions of eternal light and infinite knowledge, and in that moment we truly
are possessed of a sixth sense; something paranormal happens, some
example of intuitive knowledge; we read the thoughts of others or see at a
distance or understand coming events. Such an experience leaves us shaken.
Our absorption in the material world is for gotten for the moment. W e begin
to see the astounding possibilities of mind and consciousness. W e become
convinced that when we deal with material things we deal with results, not
causes; we know that all causes exist in mind. W e begin to perceive infinite
possibilities, vast scopes, subtle nuances that have been hidden from us by
our limited consciousness. Such understanding may come to us from a
small event or lar ge. It may result from such a simple thing as the sudden
apprehension of the thoughts of another person. A light may burst upon us,
and we may have sudden knowledge of a coming event. Perhaps one of our
dreams comes true, or a loved one materializes and instructs us as to a
course of action. In any case, intuitive phenomena come to all people. The
dice player ur ging the goddess of fate to smile on their next cast does not
always beseech Lady Luck in vain. Sometimes they open up a channel
between themself and omnipotent intelligence, and the dice repeat magic
numbers at such length as to reduce mathematical odds to absurdity.

Intuition and Reason
 Intuition is much more reliable than reason, for reason charts its course with
limited access to facts, while intuition has at its fingertips all the knowledge
that has ever existed, that ever will exist. Using the sixth sense, however, is
not such a simple matter as trusting one’ s life to one’ s feelings. It is very
easy to fall into the trap of being guided by the emotions, under the
misapprehension that emotions are intuitive feelings. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. Emotion is a wild horse, running away with the
inhabitant in the body, and those who are ruled by emotion are in the grip of
something worse than limited knowledge; they are the blind tool of egoistic
fears, hates, envies. Such a life is an idiot’ s tale, without design. Reason can
control the emotions, and reason is a far better guide. Reason is limited in
both ef fectiveness and knowledge, however, and when it has achieved
sufficient supremacy over the emotional nature, it may safely be
subordinated to the guidance of intuition; thus the whole life is brought to a
level of competence and attunement.
Charles Steinmetz, the celebrated engineer of the General Electric
Company, wrote, “Some day people will learn that material things will not
bring happiness and are of little use in making men and women creative and
powerful. Then the scientists of the world will turn their laboratories to the
study of God and prayer and the spiritual forces which as yet have hardly
been scratched. When this day comes, the world will see more advancement
in one generation than it has seen in the past four.”
Reason enables us to deal ef fectively with our immediate surroundings, but
only within the scope of the information available to the five senses. Reason
tells us we may go coatless on a sunny day, but the storm that is gathering
over the horizon is outside the scope of reason, and when it rains in the late
afternoon, reason has been wrong. The wider consciousness in the depths of
each of us must be trusted before our actions can be guided with a
knowledge of all factors. Reason is a tool, and logic is an ef fective method
of thinking, but each is only a means and no more reliable than the
information fed into it. In the eyes of the world intuitive people often act
unreasonably, for their actions are based upon a secret knowledge that is
hidden from more logical minds. Reasonable people have dif ficulty
discerning between the emotionally guided person and the intuitively
guided person. T o them, they are both unreasonable. They see that theemotionally guided person is almost never right, and they correctly attribute
this fact to such a person’ s psychic blind spots. They see the intuitively
guided person act unreasonably but with continued success, and they
attribute this to luck rather than to any ef fective means of coping with the
world. In consequence, the reasonable person is almost as blinded as the
emotional person, for the reasonable person has shut their eyes to the
possibilities of intuitive knowing.

Logic and Science

The scientific approach to the solution of problems works from ef fect to
cause. Knowledge of a particular problem is contained in those facts
observable in the ef fect under scrutiny. This ef fect is the field of ef fort, and
logic is the method by which science works from the ef fect to the cause
which produced it. This procedure has made remarkable advances, but for
the most part they have been within the realm of known facts. Now and
again a creative thinker joins the laboratory armies and in one intuitive flash
spans years of painstaking experiment. Albert Einstein stated that his theory
of relativity was revealed to him in a moment of inspiration, and the
simplicity of the eventual mathematical formula, E = MC², could not have
been hidden from an army of researchers unless its significance was outside
the scope of their consciousness. All science and mathematics are in the end
philosophical, for they attempt to penetrate the mysteries of the universe
and the secret of life, and they represent the ef forts of humankind on the
boundaries of awareness to extend that awareness unceasingly.
To recognize that there is a mind within us that knows the answers to all our
problems is the first step to acquiring the use of the infallible sixth sense. It
is not necessary to find a solution in the material world. In point of actual
fact the solution can never be found there. The secret lies within ourselves,
and we need go no farther than our very room to find each answer. There is
tremendous comfort in discovering within oneself an infinite and eternal
mind that holds the answer to each problem, to realize that the solution toeach perplexing situation may be found simply by searching one’ s soul. But
we are suf ficiently out of joint with life, we may find it extremely dif ficult
to commune with our inner and deeper nature, and may even become
neurotic through having severed psychic ties with our originator. When we
look into the reaches of our soul, those trackless corridors stretch toward
infinity and appall us with their emptiness; we are frightened and seek
quickly to return to the uneasy security of our material existence. It takes
courage to look upon the many faces of the Secret Self. The Divine does not
reside alone in beauty, comfort, love, and harmony, but is equally resident
in ugliness, hardship, hate, and discord. The Secret Self attains its purpose
in all areas of endeavor by the conflict of opposites, and before we are able
to live


presumption? Success may or may not be accompanied by making a lot of
money. To those who are successful, it doesn’ t really matter that much.
Have we ever realized that when we were completely and totally satisfied
and happy with our successes, how much money we made was almost
irrelevant? We need enough to pay our bills and provide for a reasonable
standard of living for ourselves, but there isn’t that need to make a lot of
money, which is actually compensation for lack of success.
If making a lot of money is what motivates us, then we don’t have the
key to success. Money is in fact a substitute for the satisfaction that truly
successful peop le get out of every job or operation that has gone well for
them. Many of my greatest and happiest successes actually brought me nofinancial profit at all. When success is something within, it doesn’t require
anything “out there.”
Making a lot of money is by its very nature “out there.” It woul d, at best,
allow for some extra conveniences and pleasures in life, and perhaps
validation about the accuracy of one’s financial theory in a given matter.
Satisfaction and a feeling of success can be complete and total without
anything at all happening “out there.” That’ s what I mean by transcending
the world, by no longer being dependent on the effect of it and the victim of
“out there.” Successful people have so many areas of satisfac tion in their
lives that they don’t have any areas of vulnerability. Thus, if the expected
result does not occur, they don’ t go into an emotional reaction about it.
Let’s look at an example from my own personal and professional life, to
demonstrate the principles I’m talking about. This is one that’s actually a
matter of public record, so all will know I’m not just making it up for the
sake of the book.
A terrible neurological disease  had arisen among patients who were
taking a certain class of tranqui lizers called phenothiazines.  This crippling
disorder, called tardive dyskines ia, is irrev ersible in about 5 percent of
patients, very often progressive. It is accompanied by involuntary facial
grimacing, body movements, twitching, and rhythmic movements such as
“rabbit mouth.” This disorder has preoccupied the psychiatric profession
because it creates numerous dilemmas, not only for the patient, but for the
doctor, including malpractice suits and endless tragedy.
If doctors failed to put seriously ill patients on the so-call ed major
tranquilizers, they could be faulted and sued for improper treatment and
failing to treat according to the prevailing community standard s. If doctors
put patients on these drugs as required by their condition and they
developed tardiv e dyskinesia (which occurs in 25 to 50 percen t of patients
on these drugs), they could then be sued because the patients developed a
crippling neurological side effect from the drug. So they’re condemned if
they do and condemned if they don’t, creating an endless ethical, moral,
procedural, and professional dilemma of being between a rock and a hard
place. Tardive dyskinesia also put the pharmaceutical industry at risk,damaged the image of the profession, was extremely costly, pushed up
malpractice insurance rates, jeopardized the patient/doctor relationship, and
in general created a professional disaster.
The reason for describing this example is to provide the setting of the
importance of the problem. Thus far, the profession has been unable to
solve it completely. There are endless papers in the professional literature
speculating on the basic mechanisms and hypothetical biochemistry.
I had been in clinical practice for 35 years at the time and had one of the
largest psychiatric practices in the United States. Back in the ’60s I had
heard that using  vitamins in treating patients and taking them off sugar and
sweets was very beneficial. So I did that. I did not do this in place of
traditional, proven treatments; I did it in addition to that. I told people who
ate a lot of sweets that the mammalian pancreas was never made to handle
refined sugar. It doesn’ t even exist in nature unless a bear gets into some
honey. Over the millions of years of biologic evolution of the mammalian
body, there was never any need for the pancreas to handle big inputs of
sugar; therefore, it seemed to me to be unnatural.
I had heard that large doses of certain vitamins, such as B6, B3, C, and E
were beneficial to patients with disorders such as schizophrenia, and
various addictions including alcoholism, epilepsy, and depression; and I
passed this information on to my patients. I also learned that a lot of
psychiatric symptoms came from  allergies to various things that people ate.
By experimentation, those items could be eliminated. Sure enough, that
turned out to be true. As a matter of fact, my own migraine headaches
diminished by 50 percent by eliminating milk; my colitis also disappeared.
Fatigue and periodic depression vanished from my life by abandoning sugar
and sweets. I discovered, to personal as well as professional benefit, the
importance of nutrition with physical, psychosomatic, emotional, and
psychiatric disorders.
This seems like common sense, doesn’ t it? The doctor ’s obliga tion is to
do the best they can for the patient. I’ve always had what I call a
“deathbed” philo sophy. What I mean by that is that in the last moments of
life, we’re all going to be confronted by the judgment of whether we did our
best or not. As such, my comm itment has unfailingly been to the patient.
I’ve always felt that in my last moments I would be completely  and totally
accountable for what I’ve done for the sake of others.Curiously, my professional colle agues seemed to be upset by the fact that
I used a lot of vitamins and took people off various foods to which they
reacted adversely. This was surprisingly considered to be very controversial
and roundly denounced. In my own mind, I said, The heck with it. I don’t
care what they think.  I wasn’ t going to be accountable for whether or not I
was popular or impressed anyo ne. I believed the evidence before my very
eyes.
Patients who were trying to recover from alcoholism, for instance, were
having constant relapses. As soon as I took them off sugar and sweets and
put them  on high doses of vitamins, they stayed sober. I had patients who
periodically had to have electric shock treatments over the years for
depression; however, they promptly recovered when they eliminated sugar
and sweets from their diets. I had patients who were paranoid and
delusional; when I put them on vitamin B6 and took them off potatoes, the
paranoia disappeared. So what was I to believe? The critic ism of my
colleagues, or what was obvious from what my patients were telling me? I
stuck with the patients.
Eventually, I became known around the world and had a staggering
practice. I treated patients from  all corners of the globe—they  used to be
lined up in the airports in Paris, Rome, and elsewhere, waiting for a hospital
bed to open up for them. I ended up with 12 secretaries and 10 incoming
telephone lines. Yet I wasn’ t interested in success. I wasn’ t interested in
making a lot of money. Nobody was more surprised than I was when it all
started happening in spades. Doctors began to come in from all over the
world to ask me to teach them the methods that I used. Patien ts who had
been sick for many years would come in, and within 30 days would be well
and return home. That impressed the community; therefore, a whole slew of
patients poured in from one city after another. Organizations began to form
to support this kind of treatment.
At this time, there was a group of us doctors doing this, and we were
getting so many inquiries that I was spending all my time writi ng letters. I
said to my colleagues, “You know, we should write a handbook to explain
to people what we’re doing so that we wouldn’ t have to keep writing letters
explaining and teaching them one by one, which consumes so much time.
We would just have a book to give them and say, ‘Here it is.’”
They all agreed that this was a great idea. In fact, they appoint ed me, as
often happens in such situations, to write the book. I did and asked forcontributions for chapters from all my collaborators. One the most
celebrated scientists in the world—and the only person alive at that time to
have won the Nobel Prize twice—wrote me and asked if he could co-edit
the book and write a chapter. After our book was written, a wealthy man
whose family had benefited from this treatment spontaneously took out a
full-page ad in Science  magazine where he published a very positive review
to bring this treatment into the awareness of the scientific community.
In this example we see the princ iple that non-compromise from  integrity
brings fame, fortune, unexpected profit, various honors, and endless
requests for interviews. I ended  up having articles about my work in major
publications in the United States. I appeared on many TV shows, including
The Barbara Walters Show  (twice), The MacNeil/Lehr er News Hour, and
others. There were numerous appeals for articles,

"The	Tarnished	Record	of	the	American	Medical	Association"	published	by	the

Milwaukee	Federated	Trades	Council	states:

The	A.	M.	A.	at	its	1949	convention	voted	to	make	the	$25.00	assessment

permanent.	It	further	urged	its	members	to	engage	in	political	action	to	defeat

congressmen	whom	it	could	not	control...

"In	the	26th	Pennsylvania	district,	a	group	of	doctors	calling	themselves	the

Healing	Arts	Committees	mailed	out	more	than	190,000	letters,	made	more	than

120,000	personal	telephone	calls,	placed	a	series	of	12	advertisements	in	every

newspaper	and	purchased	radio	time	to	urge	the	defeat	of	the	local	congressman

who	had	supported	a	measure	not	favorable	to	them."

An	excerpt	from	the	speech	of	a	congressman	and	recorded	in	the

CONGRESSIONAL	RECORD	says	that	the	A.	M.	A.	had	"a	record	of	almost

unparalleled	opposition	to	social	and	economic	progress,	blindness	to	need,	and

resistance	to	reform."
	Many	laws	designed	by	and	for	the	benefit	of	the	A.	M.	A.	have	been	"pressured

Just	recently	a	high	pressure	opportunist	group	tried	to	force	a	measure	through

Congress	whereby	their	competitors	could	be	barred	from	the	mails	without

notice	and	without	a	jury	trial	(it	was	defeated).	That	is	even	worse	than	the

present	law	which	allows	the	medical	trust	to	bar	their	competitors	from	the

mails	on	false	charges	and	without	a	jury	trial.	But	the	victim	is	allowed	a	few

The	DEFENDER	MAGAZINE,	Wichita,	Kansas	(May	1955)	under	the	heading

"We	are	getting	a	‘look-see’	as	to	how	the	American	Medical	Association	pulls

strings	and	controls	policies	of	the	government	insofar	as	the	Pure	Food	and

Drug	law	is	concerned."

Former	Intelligence	Officer	of	the	United	States	Government,	Major	Robert	H.

Williams,	in	his	Bulletin	(April	27,	1955)	states:

"Sane	people	are	being	arrested	and	held	for	mental	observation	without	a	trial,	a

thing	I	would	hardly	have	believed	had	I	not	seen	it	happen.	Bills	are	appearing

in	the	state	legislatures	designed	to	empower	the	state	to	SEIZE	ANY	CITIZEN

This	is	one	of	the	Gestapo	methods	of	eliminating	honest	competition.	When

these	sane	people	are	forced	into	the	mental	institutions	they	are	given	frequent

injections	with	the	"poisoned	needle"	and	are	soon	rendered	incapable	of	rational

thinking	or	coherent	speech.	At	this	stage	they	are	brought	before	the	"Board"

for	questioning	and,	of	course,	declared	to	be	insane	and	therefore	confined

permanently	to	the	institution.	A	bullet	in	the	back	would	be	less	cowardly	than

this.

WHO	HAS	THE	MONOPOLY	ON	WORDS?

The	word	DOCTOR	comes	from	the	Greek	term	di-daktor,	which	means	"one

who	imparts	knowledge	to	others—a	teacher."	The	Latins	condensed	it	to	"doc-
to-ro"	and	it	was	later	shortened	to	doctor.	Medical	doctors	are	not	teachers.	In
	fact	part	of	their	instructions	at	medical	school	is	not	to	tell	the	patient	much.

They	are	not,	as	a	rule,	very	well	informed	on	the	real	cause	and	cure	of	disease

so	they	could	not	teach	it	if	they	wanted	to.	A	dictionary	gives	one	definition	of

doctor	as	"a	learned	person."	If	either	of	these	definitions	were	the	criterion	for

issuing	medical	degrees	it	would	eliminate	about	99%	of	the	practitioners	from

the	title	of	doctor.	Yet,	they	have	sought	a	monopoly	on	this	word	insofar	as	the

healing	field	is	concerned.

The	word	CURE	has	also	been	taken	over	by	the	medical	trust	as	its	private

property	and	drugless	doctors	and	writers	have	been	barred	from	the	mails	and

persecuted	in	other	ways	for	teaching	how	nature	cures	or	for	using	or	speaking

of	a	cure	for	some	disease.

The	latest	encroachment	on	public	rights	is	the	medical	monopoly	on	the	word

HEALTH.	In	some	states	they	have	made	it	a	law	that	no	drugless	practitioner

may	use	the	word	HEALTH	on	his	advertising,	signs	or	titles.	The

NATUROPATH	magazine,	January	1955	(published	for	Naturopathic	doctors)

reported	this	situation	in	the	editorial,	by	Dr.	T	W.	Schippell.	Excerpts	from	this

editorial	are	as	follows:

"Every	day	we	see	additional	liberties	of	the	independent	practitioner	trampled

under	foot—more	non-conformist	healers	jailed	or	driven	from	the	country.

"There	has	just	come	to	hand	a	letter	from	an	independent	practitioner	who	has

long	been	the	head	of	a	liberal	school	of	healing	in	Chicago	where	he	conducts	a

health	regaining	emporium	..	He	is	finding	out	the	hard	way,	that	any

outstanding	success	in	the	natural	healing	field	brings	with	it,	as	a	definite

reaction,	the	unbridled	wrath	of	medical	men	everywhere.

"The	established	rule	of	medical	fair	play	in	this	country	seems	to	be:	If	you

cannot	beat	a	rival	practitioner	on	the	market	place,	you	must	unseat	him	through

some	ordinance	or	statute	in	the	legislative	halls.	And	that	is	what	has	happened

in	Chicago.	Excerpts	from	the	letter	will	show	the	sequence	of	events	as	they

happened:

"‘Some	months	ago	I	was	called	into	the	State	Department	of	Education	and

word	NATUROPATH	on	my	letterheads,	doors	or	windows.
	"‘I	was	informed	further	that	I	must	substitute	the	word	Chiropractor	in	the	place

Emporium,	I	took	a	razor	blade	and	the	word	Naturopath	disappeared	from	my

signs	on	my	doors	and	windows.	My	hope	that	I	had	met	every	medical

B I O L O G Y  A N D  B E L I E F
I n 1952 a young British physician made a mistake. It was a mistake that
was to bring short-lived scientific glory to Dr. Albert Mason. Mason
tried to treat a fifteen-year -old boy’ s warts using hypnosis. Mason and
other doctors had successfully used hypnosis to get rid of warts, but this
was an especially tough case. The boy’ s leathery skin looked more like
an elephant’ s hide than a human’ s, except for his chest, which had
normal skin.
Mason’ s first hypnosis session focused on one arm. When the boy was
in a hypnotic trance, Mason told him that the skin on that arm would heal
and turn into healthy, pink skin. When the boy came back a week later,
Mason was gratified to see that the arm looked healthy. But when Mason
brought the boy to the referring sur geon, who had unsuccessfully tried to
help the boy with skin grafts, he learned that he had made a medical
error. The sur geon’ s eyes were wide with astonishment when he saw the
boy’ s arm. It was then that he told Mason that the boy was suf fering, not
from warts, but from a lethal genetic disease called congenital ichthyosis.
By reversing the symptoms using “only” the power of the mind, Mason
and the boy had accomplished what had until that time been considered
impossible. Mason continued the hypnosis sessions, with the stunning
result that most of the boy’ s skin came to look like the healthy, pink arm
after the first hypnosis session. The boy, who had been mercilessly
teased in school because of his grotesque-looking skin, went on to lead a
normal life.
When Mason wrote about his startling treatment for ichthyosis in the
British Medical Journal in 1952, his article created a sensation. (Mason
1952) Mason was touted in the media and became a magnet for patients
suf fering from the rare, lethal disease that no one before had ever cured.
But hypnosis was in the end not a cure-all. Mason tried it on a number ofother ichthyosis patients, but he was never able to replicate the results he
had had with the young boy. Mason attributes his failure to his own
belief about the treatment. When Mason treated the new patients he
couldn’ t replicate his cocky attitude as a young physician thinking he
was treating a bad case of warts. After that first patient, Mason was fully
aware that he was treating what everyone in the medical establishment
knew to be a congenital, “incurable” disease. Mason tried to pretend that
he was upbeat about the prognosis, but he told the Discovery Health
Channel, “I was acting.” (Discovery Health Channel 2003)
How is it possible that the mind can override genetic programming, as
it did in the case above? And how could Mason’ s belief  about that
treatment af fect its outcome? The New Biology suggests some answers
to those questions. W e saw in the last chapter that matter and ener gy are
entangled. The logical corollary is that the mind (ener gy) and body
(matter) are similarly bound, though W estern medicine has tried valiantly
to separate them for hundreds of years.
In the seventeenth century, René Descartes dismissed the idea that the
mind influences the physical character of the body. Descartes’ notion
was that the physical body was made out of matter and the mind was
made out of an unidentified but clearly immaterial substance. Because he
couldn’ t identify the nature of the mind, Descartes left behind an
irresolvable philosophical conundrum: since only matter can af fect
matter, how can an immaterial mind be “connected” to a material body?
The nonphysical mind envisioned by Descartes was popularly defined as
the “Ghost in the Machine” by Gilbert R yle sixty years ago in his book
The Concept of Mind.  (R yle 1949) T raditional biomedicine, whose
science is based on a Newtonian matter -only universe, embraced
Descartes’ separation of mind and body. Medically speaking, it would be
far easier to fix a mechanical body without having to deal with its
meddling “ghost.”
The reality of a quantum universe reconnects what Descartes took
apart. Y es, the mind (ener gy) arises from the physical body, just as
Descartes thought. However, our new understanding of the universe’ s
mechanics shows us how the physical body can be af fected by the
immaterial mind. Thoughts, the mind’ s ener gy, directly influence how
the physical brain controls the body’ s physiology. Thought “ener gy” can
activate or inhibit the cell’ s function-producing proteins via themechanics of constructive and destructive interference, described in the
previous chapter. That is why, when I took the first step toward changing
my life, I actively monitored where I was expending my brain’ s ener gy. I
had to examine the consequences of ener gy I invested in my thoughts as
closely as I examined the expenditures of ener gy I used to power my
physical body.
Despite the discoveries of quantum physics, the mind-body split in
W estern medicine still prevails. Scientists have been trained to dismiss
cases like the boy above who used his mind to heal a genetically
“mandated” disease, as quirky anomalies. I believe, on the contrary, that
scientists should embrace the study of these anomalies. Buried in
exceptional cases are the roots of a more powerful understanding of the
nature of life—“more powerful” because the principles behind these
exceptions trump established “truths.” The fact is that harnessing the
power of your mind can be mor e  ef fective than the drugs you have been
programmed to believe you need. The research I discussed in the last

Unfortunately, scientists most often deny rather than embrace
exceptions. My favorite example of scientific denial of the reality of
mind-body interactions relates to an article that appeared in Science
about nineteenth-century German physician, Robert Koch, who along
with Pasteur founded the Germ Theory. The Germ Theory holds that
bacteria and viruses are the cause of disease. That theory is widely
accepted now, but in Koch’ s day it was more controversial. One of
Koch’ s critics was so convinced that the Germ Theory was wrong that he
brazenly wolfed down a glass of water laced with vibrio cholerae,  the
bacterium Koch believed caused cholera. T o everyone’ s astonishment,
the man was completely unaf fected by the virulent pathogen. The
Science  article published in 2000 describing the incident stated: “For
unexplained reasons he remained symptom free, but nevertheless
incorrect.” (DiRita 2000) The man survived and Science,  reflecting the
unanimity of opinion on the Germ Theory, had the audacity to say his
criticism was incorr ect?  If it is claimed that this bacterium is the cause of
cholera and the man demonstrates that he is unaf fected by the germs …
how can he  be “incorrect”? Instead of trying to figure out how the man
avoided the dreaded disease, scientists blithely dismiss this and otherembarrassing “messy” exceptions that spoil their theories. Remember the
“dogma” that genes control biology?
Here is another example in which scientists, bent on establishing the
validity of their  truth, ignore pesky exceptions. The problem is that there
cannot  be exceptions to a theory; exceptions simply mean that a theory is
not fully correct.
A current example of a reality that challenges the established beliefs of
science concerns the ancient religious practice of fire-walking. Seekers
gather together daily to stretch the realms of conventional awareness by
walking across beds of hot coals. Measurement of the stone’ s
temperature and duration of exposure are enough to cause medically
relevant burns on the feet, yet thousands of participants emer ge from the
process totally unscathed. Before you jump to the conclusion that the
coals were not really that hot, consider the numbers of participants who
waver in their beliefs and get scalded walking across the same bed of
coals.
Similarly, science is unambiguous about its claim that the HIV virus
causes AIDS. But it has no conception as to why lar ge numbers of
individuals that have been infected with the virus for decades do not
express the disease? More baf fling is the reality of terminal cancer
patients who have recovered their lives through spontaneous remissions.
Because such remissions are outside the bounds of conventional theory,
science completely disregards the fact that they ever happened.
Spontaneous remissions are dismissed as unexplainable exceptions to our
current truths or simply, misdiagnoses.

Before I go on to discuss the incredible power of our minds and how
my research on cells provided insight into how the body’ s mind-body


can be associated with images of hell, wars, concentration
camps and other types of hopeless and threatening situations.
The BPM III reflects the situation where the fetus is
struggling to be born despite the uterus contractions while the
cervix is opening up or opened and can be associated with
imagery such as battles and revolutions, sexual activities,
experiences of dying and being reborn and other aggressive
intense physical and life threatening situations.
The BPM IV is related to the final expulsion from the birth
canal and is called the death- rebirth experience. It is experienced
as a psycho-spiritual death and rebirth and can be a healing
and life changing experience.
Visions of radiant light and rainbow colors accompanied
by feelings of appreciation, gratitude, redemption and a new
sense of self can be experienced.
These four matrices of our psyche can unconsciously
influence the quality of our lives to a very large extent and can
give access to the third domain of the expanded cartography
of the psyche named the “transpersonal”, meaning beyond the
personal in which consciousness transcends the boundaries of 65
the body, ego, linear time and the three dimensional space as
we currently and “normally” perceive them in our ordinary
state of consciousness.
The spectrum of the transpersonal experiences which
Dr. Grof has categorized after repeatedly observing them is
shown in the following table:

The expanded cartography of the psyche offers many
additional highly effective mechanisms of personality
transformations and healings as compared to the traditional
cartography of the psyche which traditional psychotherapy
operates by and which is limited to the biographical material
such as remembering repressed events, weakening of the
psychological defense mechanisms, analysis of transference
and obtaining emotional and intellectual insights from the
limited postnatal period alone.
There is more to come on this subject in the testimonials,
but before that, I would like to introduce you to the practice of
Dimensional BreathworkTM (DB) and to the Dimensional
Breathwork Practitioner MethodTM (DBPM)
     2.	 Dimensional BreathworkTM (DB)
DB was inspired from different types of breathwork
modalities and from Holotropic Breathwork in particular.
DB is a powerful approach to self-exploration and healing
which integrates insights from modern consciousness research,
anthropology, various depth psychologies, transpersonal
psychology, psychotherapy techniques such as Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy,
eastern spiritual practices and mystical traditions of the world.70The process itself uses very simple means: It combines
accelerated breathing with evocative music in a special set
and setting. With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each
person uses their own breath and the music in the room to
enter an expanded state of consciousness. This state activates
the natural inner healing process of the individual’s psyche
bringing him or her a particular set of internal experiences.
With the inner healing intelligence guiding the process, the
quality and content brought forth is unique to each person and
for that particular time and place. While recurring themes are
common, no two sessions are ever alike. Additional elements
of the process include focused bodywork, self-regressions,
Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR),
circle sharing, grounding meditations and mandala drawings.
DB is conducted in groups and individually. Within the groups,
people work in pairs and alternate in the roles of “breather”
and “sitter”. The sitter’s role is simply to be available to assist
the breather, not to interfere or interrupt the process. The same
is true for trained facilitators who are available to assist upon
request or if deemed necessary. When conducted individually,
DB is used as an effective, holistic, therapeutic and healing
method consisting of six phases which are continuously
guided by the inner healing’s intelligence and which can be
taught in a classroom setting. After the successful completion
of the course, the student becomes a Dimensional Breathwork
Practitioner and may continue his/her apprenticeship and
apply for the Dimensional Awareness Process Certification
Program to become a facilitator in order to assist and conduct 71
group breathworks. Participants in DB sessions report a wide
variety of experiences from the expanded cartography of the
psyche:
a) Sensory and somatic:
This realm of experience includes various hallucinatory
phenomena such as visualizing images or geometrical
patterns. More commonly, participants report a greater
awareness of an ability to act out somatic processes
and bodily impulses.
b) Biographical and the individual unconscious:
As in more traditional therapies, participants revisit
unresolved conflicts, repressed memories and
unintegrated traumas. Compared to talk therapies,
the unconscious material is more likely to be re-
experienced than merely remembered. Participants
report that this deeper processing is more effective at
clearing traumas.
c) Perinatal:
Along with almost all other Breathwork Practitioners,
we believe that the birth process is a traumatic
event which leaves powerful residue in the psyche.
Participants in DB sessions report having images, 72emotions, physical sensations and cognitions which
convince them that they are remembering aspects of
their own birth. These experiences help them release
the birth trauma, including deeply held negative beliefs
about themselves or the world. Sometimes specific
details can be verified and matched with medical
records.
d) Transpersonal:
Referring to the possibility of accessing information
outside the normal boundaries of the ego and body,
transpersonal experiences reported in DB sessions
include past life memories, experiential identification
with other life forms, out of body experiences, oneness
with all that is, encounters with spiritual archetypes
and connections with the collective unconscious.73
     3.	 The Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner
MethodTM (DBPM)
The DBPM is conducted on a one to one basis and can
target more specific emotional and psychosomatic problems.
It consists of the following six phases and is continuously
guided by the individual’s inner healing intelligence and
supported by the DB practitioner:
I-  Pre-talk and preparation.
II-  Dimensional BreathworkTM (DB) and the Intuitive
Potentiation and Energetic Conditioning (I.P.E.C)
method (I.P.E.C refer to first section).
III-  DB, Forgiveness of Others (F.O.O), EMDR and
I.P.E.C.
IV-  DB, Forgiveness of Self (F.O.S), EMDR and I.P.E.C.
V-  DB, EMDR, and I.P.E.C.
VI-  EMDR and I.P.E.C of all parts.
These six phases are not sessions, meaning that a phase
could take one or more sessions to fully satisfy the structure of
the therapeutic process of preparation, session and integration
of all
