THE CHAKRA SYSTEM

Chakras are the energy centers of our body, which interface between our various dimensional bodies, acting like transformers to tone down energy coming from higher dimensions into lower ones, so that eventually we can absorb the energy into our body, without burning out any circuits in our nervous system.   There are seven major chakras in our physical body, recognized throughout the ages my metaphysicians and native medicine people alike.  There are actually hundreds of chakras throughout our body.  If you are familiar with the meridian system used by acupuncturists, Shiatsu and other massage practitioners, each place where these meridian lines cross is a small chakra.  We also have major chakras in our hands, feet, below our feet, and many above our head.

	These chakras are actually small vortices of swirling energy.  Chakra in Sanskrit means “wheel”; these wheels of energy spin life force energy from Source, from the ethers, making it possible for us to be spiritual beings living out a lifetime in a human physical body.  Thus keeping these vortices clear and functioning properly is vital to the health and well-being, not only of our physical body, but also of our etheric bodies.   

Most of the blockages to energy flow that we create are in our mental body (around 24” out from our physical body) and in our emotional body (around 8” out),  and/or in our physical body.  A limiting thought (mental) or traumatic event (emotional) usually triggers the tightening in one of these etheric bodies, which leads to a blockage of the energy flow, if not released.   As we refuse to face these inner demons of ours, these energy blocks move in through the bodies, until finally as a last resort they enter the physical body and become what we call “disease”.  Disease is actually our Higher Self’s last ditch attempt to get our attention about some imbalance that we need to correct, some trauma or thought pattern that we need to release or change, in order to continue to develop as a spiritual being in a human body.

	These crystallized thoughtforms or what have you are blocking our life force.  They are obstructing the energy flow through the chakras and meridians.  They are choking off our chi.  Clearing the major chakras can help to reactivate energy to our whole four-body system (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual).  This can be done in many ways.  I am offering you a few chakra cleansing exercises using energy and color visualization meditations in this section.  I advise you to pick the ones that resonate with you, and to continue with one or two of them daily.

Other ways of clearing the chakras include vibrational remedies such as flower essences and gem elixirs (see section on Transformational Tools later in this manual), toning/singing/sounding (see chakra diagram, tones), crystal bowls, chimes, gongs, drums, Shamballa and other energy work, crystals, yoga, massage and other body work, and more.  I encourage you to investigate thoses that draw you, and to incorporate them into your daily practice.

	Any physical problem can be treated through the chakras.  This is why the traditional Reiki hand positions concentrated on the chakra system.  Each chakra has organs and glands associated with it, that draw their life force energy through it. 

THE MAJOR CHAKRAS (Colors listed are 3rd dimensional colors, and are the ones which will OPEN that chakra; you may see another color in a chakra.  Other colors will close, or slow it down, or possibly reverse the spin of that chakra. Sometimes this is what you are after.  If the color you see is a clear and beautiful color, do not worry about it.  Colors that we see in 3D appear different viewed from or in other dimensions.)

There are many many chakras in our bodies.  The ones below are the major chakras, which are aligned along the central axis of the body.  They are connected via a tube of light sometimes called the antahkarana.  Chakras 1-3 are the physical chakras; they are where we store most of our emotional baggage.  When we have cleared them totally, they will become one chakra.  Eventually all of the chakras will combine to form one tube of light extending up through our body.
So if you don’t “see” things as they are listed below, know that we are a work in progress, and we are progressing very rapidly indeed.

EARTHSTAR CHAKRA:  about 8” below your feet, connects you to Mother Earth and keeps you grounded.

FIRST/BASE CHAKRA:  Base of the spine, has to do with survival issues.  RED

SECOND CHAKRA (hara):  The Creative or Sexual chakra.  Lower abdomen, below the navel.  Affects adrenals.  Creativity.  Memories of sexual experiences are often stored here.  ORANGE

THIRD CHAKRA:  Solar Plexus, just above navel.  Emotional chakra.  Metabolic and vital energy, psychological and emotional energy flow.  Ability to complete.  YELLOW

FOURTH CHAKRA:  Thymus/Heart chakra.  Just over the heart.  Acceptance of Self, others, and conditions.  Service without effort.  Higher spiritual experience of compassion, clairsentience.  Unconditional Love.  The central chakra for transformation and ascension.
GREEN, or PINK surrounded with GREEN (like watermelon tourmaline).

FIFTH CHAKRA:  Throat, near Thyroid gland.  Relates to the cycle of giving and receiving, communication with others.  SKY BLUE

SIXTH CHAKRA:  Third Eye, Brow, above and between the eyes.  Affects pineal gland.  Relates to seeing reality, intuition, ability to discriminate and choose options.  Psychic abilities.  INDIGO background with White Star at the center.

SEVENTH CHAKRA:  Crown.  Top of the head.  Relates to the ability to take ideas from abstract to concrete form.  Connection with other dimensional parts of the Self, and with spiritual guidance.  VIOLET

EIGHTH CHAKRA:  First of the Higher Chakras, above the head.  Known as the Soul Star.  Could be termed the Seat of Existence.  LUMINESCENT GREEN-VIOLET

NINTH CHAKRA:  Relates to the lightbody.  This is not the time nor place to go into the lightbody and its functions, but this chakra relates to joy.  LUMINESCENT GREEN-BLUE

TENTH CHAKRA:  Concerned with the male/female balance within.  When this chakra is balanced, it is very eays to be healthy and connected with your soul.  PEARLESCENT WHITE

ELEVENTH CHAKRA:  Connects you to the New Age energies.  The energy is the energy of freedom.  It allows you to process stored traumas, etc.  LUMINESCENT PINK-ORANGE

TWELFTH CHAKRA:  Connects you to Christ Consciousness, the human evolutionary potential.  This energy connects all forms of energy together.  SHIMMERING GOLD

There many more chakras that relate to the 4th, 5th and higher dimensions of experience.  See Prelude to Ascension: Tools for Transformation, Janet McClure.  Also Soul Psychology, by Joshua David Stone.  (Listed in Resources section of Appendices of this Manual.)

ONE METHOD OF CHAKRA BALANCING

A healthy body and mind means that the chakras are in balance.  The chakra system is the balance mechanism for the psychological and emotional aspects.  The chakra system functions as a unit.  The flow of energies between the chakras should be balanced.  

1.	Hold the fingers of the Right hand in a “tripod” position as you move from chakra to chakra (very light contact).  Remember you are connecting on an energy level.

2.	Hold the Left hand about one inch above the crown chakra (the receiver is lying face up) until you feel the energy flow to the palm of your left hand.

3.	After you determine the energy level in the subject’s crown chakra, use the tripod position with your Right hand over the Sixth Chakra (keeping your Left hand on the crown to monitor energy flow).  When the two flows are balanced (this may take a minute or so), move your Right hand to the next chakra, again holding a tripod position over the chakra you are now balancing.

4.	When all the chakras have been balanced, brush the energy from the groin to the chin (between 15-20 strokes), keeping your Left hand above the Crown Chakra; then brush up the energy and intermittently remove your hand from the Crown Chakra as you stroke.

Another way to balance the chakra system is to check the energy of each chakra with a pendulum.  We are looking for an energetic clockwise motion (not still, or counterclockwise; also not racing).  Move your hand (you may hold a cleansed and programmed crystal if you like) in a clockwise motion over the chakra, periodically checking with the pendulum, until the desired swing is achieved.  You may use toning as well as motion over each chakra, and have the person visualize a clear bright appropriate color coming in (see chakra definitions for the colors).  Or you can ask the person to tell you what they see, and when all cloudiness or darkness leaves, and a bright color comes in, then you are finished.  This is for the physical body chakras.

EXERCISE TO SPIN THE CHAKRAS

This exercise assists you to spin and balance your chakras.  Each chakra has a color associated with it, and should be spinning in a particular direction, both front and back.  To find which way your chakras should be spinning, hold your Right hand out, stick out your thumb and curl your other four fingers against your palm (hitch-hiking pose).  When you point your right thumb with your fingers curled toward the center of a chakra, imagine that the chakra is spinning in the direction your fingers are curled.  For example, to check the correct spin for your root chakra, hold your Right hand between your legs with your thumb pointing up, and look at the direction of your curled fingers.  Notice that the direction of spin on the front of a chakra is the opposite of the direction of spin on the back of a chakra.

	As you do this exercise, notice which chakra colors are hard to visualize, or which chakras seem stuck, spinning n the wrong direction, or not spinning in a round circle.  Also notice which chakras are already balanced.  This may give you some clues as to where you need to focus your personal healing exploration and work.  
	You can command your chakras to spin at the correct speed, in the correct shape, at the correct frequency, in the correct direction.  Do not struggle or make too much effort with this exercise.  Continue with each of the following steps until the chakra feels balanced and spinning, and you can visualize the colors clearly.  You may notice that your energy and awareness moves up to the next chakra when the one you are working on is complete.  YOU MAY WISH TO SUBSTITUTE THE MAHATMA [GOLD-SILVER-VIOLET] ENERGY FOR ALL OF THE COLORS MENTIONED. (I recommend this.)

Begin this exercise by connecting to the Earth (see Grounding section).
1.	As you breathe in, imagine you are breathing RED (or Mahatma Gold-Silver-Violet) energy up your legs and into your ROOT CHAKRA.  Also allow your breath to bring in red energy from the air.  At the same time, spin your chakra in the correct direction.  With each new breath, allow more red energy to move up your legs, to fill and balance your ROOT CHAKRA.  Continue to breathe RED energy until it feels balanced.

2.	With your next breath move your awareness up to your SECOND CHAKRA.  Allow the RED energy from your ROOT CHAKRA to move up and into ORANGE energy in your SECOND CHAKRA.  Visualize the correct spin for both the front and the back of your SECOND CHAKRA.  With each new breath, feel the earth energy move up your legs, into RED for your FIRST CHAKRA and ORANGE for your SECOND CHAKRA.  Allow ORANGE energy to come in from the air.  Continue to breathe orange into your SECOND CHAKRA until it feels balanced.

3.	Continue as above, moving RED energy up to become ORANGE energy up to your THIRD CHAKRA (solar plexus) to become YELLOW.  Visualize the correct spin, front and back, and breathe in YELLOW energy until your THIRD CHAKRA feels balanced.

4.	RED to ORANGE to YELLOW up to GREEN in the FOURTH (heart/thymus) CHAKRA.  Visualize spin, front and back.  Breathe in GREEN energy until this chakra feels balanced.

5.	RED to ORANGE to YELLOW to GREEN to BLUE in your FIFTH (throat) CHAKRA.  Visualize correct spin, front and back.  Breathe in BLUE energy until this chakra feels balanced.

6.	RED to ORANGE to YELLOW to GREEN to BLUE to INDIGO in your SIXTH CHAKRA (Third Eye).  Visualize correct spin, front and back.  Breathe in INDIGO energy until your SIXTH CHAKRA feels balanced.

7.	RED to ORANGE to YELLOW to GREEN to BLUE to INDIGO to VIOLET in your SEVENTH CHAKRA.  Visualize correct spin.  Breathe in VIOLET energy until your SEVENTH CHAKRA feels balanced.

8.	Continue on up through the Higher Chakras:
EIGHTH: luminescent EMERALD GREEN-VIOLET
	NINTH: luminescent BLUE GREEN
	TENTH: PEARLESCENT WHITE
	ELEVENTH: luminescent PINK-ORANGE
	TWELFTH:  shimmering GOLD

40-BREATH MEDITATION FOR ENERGIZING
	
	The center of the chi or ki power is 2” below the navel in the hara.  At this point, Earth energy, moving in horizontal waves parallel to the Earth’s surface, intersects spiritual energy moving up and down the spine.  Some forms of martial arts teach similar meditations, to increase or store chi.  Notice that during this meditation, you are connecting different energies when you touch your thumb to varying fingers.

1.	Sit comfortably.  Touch thumb and index finger together on each hand, rest your hands on your knees.

2.	Inhale through your nose to a count of 4, visualizing white light coming into your heart/thymus.

3.	Exhale through your mouth to the count of 4, visualizing light moving from the heart to the ki center, 2” below the navel, and thinking, Take this vital source and store it.

4.	Repeat the inhale and exhale 3 more times (for a total of 4 times for each finger).  On the 4th exhale, hold the breath out for 20 counts.

5.	Move your thumb to your next finger on each hand.

6.	Repeat steps 2-4 nine more times (for a total of 10; 10x4=40 breaths), moving the thumb to the next finger each time.  This thumb movement is used to count the 10 sets.

AFFIRMATIONS FOR ENERGY BALANCING

CHAKRAS 13-16

There are no Rays available to us (as yet) above the 12th Ray, but we are at least partially accessing--or getting ready to access--chakras above the 12th. 

CHAKRA 13--MANIFESTING ABUNDANCE (Pale Violet-Pink):  The reality of 4D is abundance--inclusion--enough for all.  Scarcity is the reality of 3D.  Scarcity leads to fear and competition, the have and have-not mentality.  At this time there is great resistance from the collective to let go of the vibration of scarcity, which hinders complete abundance manifestation.  We can access this chakra, and help in the transition process.

CHAKRA 14--DIVINE PLAN (Deep Blue-Violet):  When humanity moves beyond polarity, we will be able to use teh 14th chakra, which is the potential available to manifest in 4D. We must first master the integration of polarities.  Through integrating the 4D chakra we are able to affect the energy grids of the Earth and other living things.  At this time we can begin to activate this chakra, but full implementation is yet to come.

CHAKRA 15--MONADIC CONNECTION (Golden White):  Activation of this chakra represents the end of individual perspective and the introduction of the collective power of similar energy fields merging together.  It reminds us that the process of evolution is unlimited.

CHAKRA 16--ASCENSION--UNIVERSAL BEING (Violet White): Fifth Dimension.  Awareness of the multidimensionality of humanity.  Healing the gap between what IS and what CAN BE.  Seeing humanity as a whole, interdependent with all other lifeforms.  Ability to affect the mass consciousness.  The highest level of consciousness now available to humans.

Meditation to Activate Chakras 8-12 and Bring in RAYS 8-12

Visualize a beautiful Ray of luminous Green-Violet Light, coming down from the Source Star, coming down through your channel and spreading throughout your entire four-body system. This Eighth Ray permeates your entire being. Bathe the emotional body in its light, feeling it be cleansed and balanced.  Bring its green-violet luminosity into the third-eye chakra in the center of the forehead.  This should be done gradually, so as not to overenergize the area. As the Light comes in, view it like a tunnel opening. See a light at the end of the tunnel. Go into it, and see beyond the light. If you have a clear quartz crystal, now place it over the Third Eye area, and bring the Eighth Ray through it.  AFFIRM: “I now release all old patterns and old crystallized energies that are blocking the free flow of the Source energy through my four-body system.  I release these NOW to the Eighth Ray, and to the transformative energies of the Seventh.”

Now see a luminescent green-blue, a light aqua Ray beaming down from Source, permeating your entire body, your four-body system. This is the Ninth Ray, which tunes you in to your Body of Light/Soul body.  AFFIRM: “The nature of the Soul is joy. As the Soul, I invoke the energies of joy!”

Envision now a beautiful pearlescent white Light beamed down from Source, through your Source Star, into your channel and your entire being.  The Tenth Ray , if you allow it, can actually code the Body of Light into the physical structure. It IS the Body of Light. This Ray can enable you to lock in those changes that you’re seeking to make. (Meditation from Brian Grattan):

To work with the Tenth Ray (1) Bring in the Mahatma white-gold light of the Source, down from the Source Star through your whole channel all the way to the center of the Earth. Ground, ground, ground. (2)Then ask the Archangels, one at a time, to come into your four-body system:  Metatron into your Soul-level; Ratziel into your crown/third-eye area;  Khamael into your throat/heart chakras. Michael into your solar plexus.  Raphael-Auriel-Gabriel into your polarity chakra. (See Michael-Raphael-Auriel-Gabriel as a square unit, four cornerstones who work together). Sandalphon into your base chakra.  It is very important to see and hold the alignment between Metatron and Sandalphon; these two are inextricably linked to each other.

                                                  SANDALPHON

                           Left side of body	               Right side of body

3) Invite the Tenth Ray into your entire channel. See this luminescent pearl Light flowing through your whole beingness and into the center of the Earth with the Mahatma energy.  Visualize this as a waterfall engulfing every cell in your physical body. (4) Call on the Mother  energy for support. Feel the Goddess energy permeating your beingness and anchoring in your heart chakra.  Once she is comfortably anchored there, see her energy flowing through you and anchoring into the center of the Earth. The secret to working with the Tenth Ray is to integrate, integrate, integrate all aspects of yourself and then completely let go of the mental and emotional bodies and allow the Tenth Ray to become the new you and the beginning of your new physical-spiritual body! AFFIRM: “I am the Soul/Monad, I am the Light Divine, I am Love, I am Will, I am Fixed Design.”

Now visualize a luminous pink-orange Light flowing down from Source, permeating your being. This Eleventh Ray gets you in touch with Divine Love expanded by Divine Wisdom. It is a bridge to the New Age on Earth.  Its penetrating energy helps to remove the final remnants of old energy that need to be cleaned out. This Ray gives you the opportunity to clean up anything missed by the Eighth Ray, and also to balance self. A good way to work with it is to cover yourself, or a specific area, or the whole world with a blanket of it.  And as you do, see the Earth begin to absorb this type of energy.  In its most ideal way, it is a very balanced type of energy and will add to your balance. This is the Ray of Service. AFFIRM: “We know, oh Source of Light and Love, about the need. Touch our hearts anew with Love, that we too may love and give.”

Last, we focus once again on the beautiful golden/white Ray which we have been invoking throughout this initiation. The Twelfth Ray is a combination of all Rays, all possibilities. The Ray of the New Age.  This is the new level for humanity, and it means that humanity will be in touch with this level fourth-dimensionally, with the Creator level—as the Mahatma—now aligning with planet Earth….It is an entirely new beginning where conscious interaction takes place more completely with the Source level. AFFIRM: “I wish to align myself with All That Is, my own I AM PRESENCE, Mahatma.   Affirm to your emotional body, “you are loved and are part of this entire Light being which is us, but you do not run me.  I AM the Soul.  I AM the Monad.  I AM the Mahatma.  I AM a perfect Light Being, one with Source.”  Affirm this also to your physical and mental bodies.  End with, “ I now open myself to receive Mahatma, and give thanks for the spiritual abundance in my life. So be it!” 

The subtle Bodies

We are spiritual beings inhabiting a physical body.  We are MUCH more than our physical body alone.  The other-dimensional bodies that make up our totality are often referred to as etheric bodies or subtle bodies and are only visible to those who can see into other dimensions.  Each of these has different names in different systems (see diagrams).

Our physical body is surrounded and penetrated by the Etheric Body.  This is seen as a network of blue lines, by those with psychic sight.  It holds the pattern for our physical body.  This body is the reason that those who have lost an arm or leg can sometimes still feel it, or sense its presence.

Extending out beyond the surface of the physical body, around 8” out on average, is what we will call the Emotional Body.  

Extending out around 24” on average from the surface of the physical body is the Mental Body.

Beyond that we have a series of Spiritual Bodies, which can extend indefinitely.

These have been catalogued differently by various societies and systems, but this is the simplest way to envision them, and it works quite well.

The Subtle Bodies are connected to and interact with one another through the chakras.  Chakras extend through all the bodies.  Each subtle body is attached to the physical via a specific chakra.  
The Chakras may be viewed as transformers. Life force energy comes into the bodies via the chakras, which lower the vibrations of the energy coming in so that the next lower dimensional body can handle it.  If Source life force were to flow directly into our physical cells, we would incinerate in a second.  

As you take the initiations of 13-Dimensional Shamballa, you may start to “see” things in on the levels of some of these other bodies.  I have had much hardware taken out of my Heart/Thymus area, for instance—old spear points, arrowheads, broken daggers, etc. from incidents in other lifetimes.  You may start to “see” things in others; always ask first before removing anything that doesn’t seem to belong.

[MORE ON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE DRINKING SO-CALLED “DIET” DRINKS]

WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION:
F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO
By Nancy Markle (1120197)

I have spent several days lecturing at the World Environmental Conference on “ASPARTAME marketed as ‘NutraSweet’, ‘Equal’, and ‘Spoonful’”. In the keynote address by the EPA they announced that there was an epidemic of Multiple Sclerosis and Systemic Lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.  (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants).  The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error.  The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is.  

In the case of Lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.  Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12oz. Cans of them per day, some even more.  In the cases of systemic lupus, which is triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that the aspartame is the culprit.  The victim continues its use, aggravating the lupus to such a degree that sometimes it becomes life-threatening.  When we get people off of the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually become asymptomatic.  Unfortunately, we can not reverse this disease.  

On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear.  We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their hearing has returned.  This also applies to cases of tinnitus.

During a lecture I said, “If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss—you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE!”  People were jumping up during the lecture saying, “I’ve got this, is it reversible?”  It is rampant.  Some of the speakers at my lecture even were suffering from these symptoms.  In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame!  He continued by saying that one of the industry leader’s sons could no longer walk—due in part to product usage!  

We have a very serious problem.  Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one of my speakers) and said, “Could you tell me why so many people seem to be coming down with MS? During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS.  This is beyond coincidence.  Here is the problem.  There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different products.  Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail.  Nothing has been done.  The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.  Now there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!!!!  At the time of the first hearing, people were going blind.  The methanol in the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye.  Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic—DEADLY POISONS!!!!  Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but it is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological problems.  Aspartame changes the brain’s chemistry.  It is the reason for severe seizures.  This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain.  Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson’s Disease.  This drug also causes birth defects. 

There is absolutely no reason to take this product.  It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!!!!  The Congressional Record said, “It makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT.”  Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person.  The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.

Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics.  All physicians know what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic.  We find that physicians believe that they have patients with retinopathy, when in fact it is caused by the aspartame. The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients to go into a coma.  Unfortunately, many have died.  People were telling us at the Conference of the American College of Physicians, that they had relatives that switched from saccharin to an aspartame product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma.  Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control.  Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma and death.

Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein.  Thus it goes past the blood/brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain.  Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, “The ingredients stimulates the neurons of the brain to death, causing braindamage of varying degrees.”  Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills (Health Press; 1-800-643-2665).  Dr. Roberts tells how aspartame poisoning is escalating Alzheimer’s Disease, and indeed it is.  As the hospice nurse told me, women are being admitted at 30 years of age with Alzheimer’s Disease.  Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper with some case histories and will post it on the Internet.  According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, “We are talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this deadly poison.”

Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was first marketed.  He said that his “diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion, and severe vision loss”. At the Conference of the American College of Physicians, doctors admitted that they did not know.  They had wondered why seizures were rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure threshhold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, rage and violence).

Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway, asking for a possible antidote for this poison, because they are experiencing so many problems in their country.  This poison is now available in 90 PLUS countries worldwide.  Fortunately, we had speakers and ambassadors at the Conference from different nations who have pledged their help.  We ask that you help too.  Print this article out and warn everyone you know.  Take anything that contains aspartame back to the store.  Take the “NO ASPARTAME TEST” and send us your case history.  I assure you that Monsanto, the creator of aspartame, knows how deadly it is.  They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians.  The New York Times, on November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American Dietetic Association takes money from the food industry to endorse their products.  Therefore, they can not criticize any additives or tell about their link to Monsanto.  How bad is this?  We told a mother who had a child on NutraSweet to get off the product.  The child was having grand mal seizures every day.  The mother called her physician, who called the ADA, who told the doctor not to take the child off the NutraSweet.  We are still trying to convince the mother that the aspartame is causing the seizures.  Every time we get someone off of aspartame, the seizures stop.  If the baby dies, you know whose fault it is, and what we are up against.  There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from coma to death.  The majority of them are all neurological, because the aspartame destroys the nervous system.

Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the Desert Storm health problems.  The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60 casess can be4 directly related to the consumption of an aspartame product.  Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert Storm troops.  (Remember heat can liberate the methanol from the aspartame at 86 degrees F.)  Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets.  The service men and women drank them all day long.  All of their symptoms are identical to aspartame poisoning.  Dr. Roberts says “consuming aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth defects”.  The phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician-Professor-Genetics, at Emory University in his testimony before Congress.  I

In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent).  When Dr. Espisto was lecturing on aspartame, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon, said “when they remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of aspartame in them”.  

If it says “Sugar Free” on the label—DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!  Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants, pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame.  The bill would have also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the population (seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and behavioral symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public.  Since the Conference of the American College of Physicians, we hope to have the help of some world leaders. Again there are a lot of people out there who must be warned.  Please let them know this information.

Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism of sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA.  For years the FDA has outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty to Monsanto. [Stevia is now available in liquid concentrate and in other forms, mostly in Health Food stores.  It is a tropical plant but may be grown in a greenhouse in the north.]  It is available in liquid or powdered form, usually in health food stores.

WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID TAKING VACCINES 
By Dr. James Howenstine, MD. December 7, 2003 NewsWithViews.com 

Dr. James R. Shannon, former director of the National institute of health declared, "the only safe vaccine is one that is never used." Cowpox vaccine was believed able to immunize people against smallpox. At the time this vaccine was introduced, there was already a decline in the number of cases of smallpox.  Japan introduced compulsory vaccination in 1872. In 1892 there were 165,774 cases of smallpox with 29,979 deaths despite the vaccination program. Much of the success attributed to vaccination programs may actually have been due to improvement in public health related to water quality and sanitation, less crowded living conditions, better nutrition, and higher standards of living. Typically the incidence of a disease was clearly declining before the vaccine for that disease was introduced. In England the incidence of polio had decreased by 82 % before the polio vaccine was introduced in 1956. 

In the early 1900s an astute Indiana physician, Dr. W.B. Clarke, stated "Cancer was practically unknown until compulsory vaccination with cowpox vaccine began to be introduced. I have had to deal with two hundred cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated person." [1]

There is a widely held belief that vaccines should not be criticized because the public might refuse to take them. This is valid only if the benefits exceed the known risks of the vaccines. 

Do Vaccines Actually Prevent Disease? 

This important question does not appear to have ever been adequately studied. Vaccines are enormously profitable for drug companies and recent legislation in the U.S. has exempted lawsuits against pharmaceutical firms in the event of adverse reactions to vaccines which are very common. In 1975 Germany stopped requiring pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination. Today less than 10% of German children are vaccinated against pertussis. The number of cases of pertussis has steadily decreased[2] even though far fewer children are receiving pertussis vaccine. 

Measles outbreaks have occurred in schools with vaccination rates over 98% in all parts of the U.S. including areas that had reported no cases of measles for years. As measles immunization rates rise to high levels measles becomes a disease seen only in vaccinated persons. An outbreak of measles occurred in a school where 100% of the children had been vaccinated. Measles mortality rates had declined by 97 % in England before measles vaccination was instituted. 

In 1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90% of these cases occurred in children who had been adequately vaccinated. Similar vaccine failures have been reported from Nova Scotia where pertussis continues to be occurring despite universal vaccination. Pertussis remains endemic[3] in the Netherlands where for more than 20 years 96% of children have received 3 pertussis shots by age 12 months. 

After institution of diptheria vaccination in England and Wales in 1894 the number of deaths from diptheria rose by 20% in the subsequent 15 years. Germany had compulsory vaccination in 1939. The rate of diptheria spiraled to 150,000 cases that year whereas, Norway which did not have compulsory vaccination, had only 50 cases of diptheria the same year. 

The continued presence of these infectious diseases in children who have received vaccines proves that life long immunity which follows natural infection does not occur in persons receiving vaccines. The injection process places the viral particles into the blood without providing any clear way to eliminate these foreign substances. 

Why Do Vaccines Fail To Protect Against Diseases? 

Walene James, author of Immunization: the Reality Behind The Myth, states that the full[4] inflammatory response is necessary to create real immunity. Prior to the introduction of measles and mumps vaccines children got measles and mumps and in the great majority of cases these diseases were benign. Vaccines "trick" the body so it does not mount a complete inflammatory response to the injected virus. 

Vaccines and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS 

The incidence of Sudden Infant Death syndrome SIDS has grown from .55 per 1000 live births in 1953 to 12.8 per 1000 in 1992 in Olmstead County, Minnesota. The peak incidence for SIDS is age 2 to 4 months the exact time most vaccines are being given to children. 85 % of cases of SIDS occur in the first 6 months of infancy. The increase in SIDS as a percentage of total infant deaths has risen from 2.5 per 1000 in 1953 to 17.9 per 1000 in 1992. This rise in SIDS deaths has occurred during a period when nearly every childhood disease was declining due to improved sanitation and medical progress except SIDS. These deaths from SIDS did increase during a period when the number of vaccines given a child was steadily rising to 36 per child. 

Dr. W. Torch was able to document 12 deaths in infants which appeared within 3½ and 19 hours of a DPT immunization. He later reported 11 new cases of SIDS death and one near miss which had occurred within 24 hours of a DPT injection. When he studied 70 cases of SIDS two thirds of these victims[5] had been vaccinated from one half day to 3 weeks prior to their deaths. None of these deaths was attributed to vaccines. Vaccines are a sacred cow and nothing against them appears in the mass media because they are so profitable to pharmaceutical firms. 

There is valid reason to think that not only are vaccines worthless in preventing disease they are counterproductive because they injure the immune system permitting cancer, auto-immune diseases and SIDS to cause much disability and death. 

Are Vaccines Sterile? 

Dr. Robert Strecker claimed that the department of defense DOD was given $10,000,000 in 1969 to create the AIDS virus to be used as a population-reducing[6] weapon against blacks. By use of the Freedom of Information Act Dr. Strecker was able to learn that the DOD secured funds from Congress to perform studies on immune destroying agents for germ warfare. 

Once produced, the vaccine was given in two locations. Smallpox vaccine containing HIV was given to 100,000,000 Africans in 1977. Over 2000 young white homosexual males in New York City were given Hepatitis B vaccine that contained HIV virus in 1978. This vaccine was given at New York City Blood Center. The Hepatitis B vaccine containing the HIV virus was also administered to homosexual males in San Francisco, Los Angeles, St.Louis, Houston and Chicago in 1978 and 1979. U.S. Public Health epidemiology studies have disclosed that these same 6 cities had the highest incidence of AIDS, Aids related Complex (ARC) and deaths rates from HIV, when compared to other U.S. cities. 

When a new virus is introduced into a community. It takes 20 years for the number of cases to double. If the fabricated story that green monkey bites of pygmies led to the HIV epidemic, the alleged monkey bites in the 1940s should have produced a peak in the incidence of HIV in the 1960s at which time HIV was non existent in Africa. The World Health Organization (WHO) began a African smallpox vaccination campaign in 1977 that targeted urban population centers and avoided pygmies. If the green monkey bites of pygmies truly caused the HIV epidemic the incidence of HIV in pygmies should have been higher than in urban citizens. However, the opposite was true. 

In 1954 Dr. Bernice Eddy (bacteriologist) discovered live monkey viruses in supposedly sterile inactivated polio vaccine[7] developed by Dr. Jonas Salk. This discovery was not well received at the NIH and Dr. Eddy was demoted. Later Dr. Eddy, working with Sarah Stewart, discovered SE polyoma virus. This virus was quite important because it caused cancer in every animal receiving it. Yellow fever vaccine had previously been found to contain avian (bird) leukemia virus. Later Dr. Hilleman isolated SV 40 virus from both the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines. There were 40 different viruses[8] in these polio vaccines they were trying to eradicate. They were never able to get rid of these viruses contaminating the polio vaccines. The SV 40 virus causes malignancies. It has now been identified in 43 % of cases of non-Hodgekin lymphoma[9] , 36 % of brain tumors[10] , 18 % of healthy blood samples, and 22 % of healthy semen samples, mesothiolomas and other malignancies. By the time of this discovery SV 40 had already been injected into 10,000,000 people in Salk vaccine. Gastric digestion inactivtes some of SV 40 in Sabin vaccine. However, the isolation of strains of Sabin polio vaccine from all 38 cases of Guillan Barre Syndrome[11] GBS in Brazil suggests that significant numbers of persons are able to be infected from this vaccine. All 38 of these patients had received Sabin polio vaccine months to years before the onset of GBS. The incidence of non-Hodgekin lymphoma has"mysteriouly" doubled since the 1970s. 

Dr. John Martin, Professor of Pathology at the Univ. of Southern California, was employed by the Viral Oncology Branch of the Bureau of Biologics (FDA) from 1976 to 1980. While employed there he identified foreign DNA in the live polio vaccine Orimune Lederle that suggested serious vaccine contamination. He warned his supervisors about this problem and was told to discontinue his work as it was outside the scope of testing required for polio vaccine. 

Later Dr. Martin learned that all eleven of the African green monkeys used to grow the Lederle polio virus Orimune had grown simian cytomegalovirus from kidney cell cultures. Lederle was aware of this viral contamination as their Cytomegaloviral Contamination Plan[12] clearly showed in 1972. The Bureau of Biologics decided not to pursue the matter so production of infected polio vaccine continued. 

In 1955 Dr. Martin identified unique cell destroying viruses termed stealth viruses in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. These viruses lacked genes that would enable the immune system to recognize them. Thus they were protected by the body's failure to develop antiviral antibodies. In March of 1995, Dr. Martin learned that some of these stealth viruses had originated from African green monkey simian cytomegalovirus of a type known to infect man. 

The Lederle vaccine experience suggests that the higher-ups are not concerned about sloppy and dangerous preparation of vaccines. Animal cross infection is a huge unsolved current problem for all vaccine manufacturing. If this vaccine production sounds like an unbelievable mess to you, you are right. 

The influential Club of Rome has a position paper in which they state that the world population is too large and needs to be reduced by 90 %. This means that 6 billion people must be reduced to 500 to 600 million. Obviously, creating famines and genocidal wars such as wrecked havoc in Africa, and loosing new laboratory-created diseases (HIV, Ebola, Marburg[13] , and probably West Nile virus and SARS) can help reduce the population. Other elitist groups (Trilaterals, Bildenbergers) have expressed similar concerns about excess people on planet Earth. 

The company that was projected to produce the new smallpox vaccine in the U.S. was in serious trouble in England because of unsatisfactory quality of operations before setting up their facility in the U.S. Why would their performance here be any better than it was in England? 

If there are important powerful groups of people that are determined to reduce the world population, what could be a more diabolically clever way to eliminate people than to inject them with a cancer-causing vaccine? The person receiving the injection would never suspect that the vaccine taken 10 to 15 years earlier had caused the cancer to appear. 

Other Dangers From Vaccines 

In the March 4, 1977 issue of Science Jonas and Darrell Salk warn, "Live virus vaccines against influenza or poliomyelitis may in each instance produce the disease it intended to prevent. The live virus against measles and mumps may produce such side effects as encephalitis (brain damage). 

The swine flu vaccine was administered to the American public even though there had never been a case of swine flu identified in a human. Farmers refused to use the vaccine because it killed too many animals. Within a few months of use in humans this vaccine caused many cases of serious nerve injury (Guillan Barre syndrome). 

An article in the Washington Post on Jan. 26, 1988 mentioned that all cases of polio since 1979 had been caused by the polio vaccine with no known cases of polio from a wild strain since 1979. This might have created a perfect situation to discontinue the vaccine, but the vaccine is still given. Vaccines are a wonderful source of profits with no risks to the drug companies since vaccine injuries are now recompensed by the government. 

The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered has been followed by an identical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma) seen in children. While there is a genetic transmission of some of these diseases many are probably due to the injury from foreign protein particles, mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and other toxic agents injected in vaccines. 

In 1999, the rotavirus vaccine was recommended by the Center for Disease Control for all infants. When this vaccine program was instituted several infants died and many had life endangering bowel obstructions. Obviously, there was no evidence that this vaccine would cause such serious problems before the vaccine was released for usage. Children's vaccines are not studied for toxicity possibly because such study might eliminate them from being used. 

A large study from Australia showed that the risk of developing encephalitis from the pertussis vaccine was 5 times greater than the risk of developing encephalitis by contacting pertussis by natural methods. 

Naturally acquired immunity by illness evolves by spread of a virus from the respiratory tract to the liver, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. When symptoms begin, the entire immune response has been mobilized to repel the invading virus. This complex immune system response creates antibodies that confer life long immunity against that invading virus and prepares the child to respond promptly to an infection by the same virus in the future. 

Vaccination, in contrast, results in the persisting of live virus or other foreign antigens within the cells of the body, a situation that may provoke auto-immune reactions as the body attempts to destroy its own infected cells. There is no surprise that the incidence of auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, asthma, psoriasis) has risen sharply in this era of multiple vaccine immunization. 

Vaccine Induced Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus 

Dr. John Classen has published 29 articles on vaccine-induced[14] diabetes. At least 8 of 10 children with Type 1 (insulin needing) diabetes have this disease as a result of vaccination. These children may have avoided measles, mumps, and whooping cough but they have received something far worse: an illness that shortens life expectancy by 10 to 15 years and results in a life requiring constant medical care. 

Dr. Classen has shown in Finland, the introduction of hemophilus type b vaccine caused three times as many cases of type 1 diabetes as the number of deaths and brain damage from hemophilus influenza type b it might have prevented. 

In New Zealand, the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children rose by 61 % after an aggressive vaccine program against hepatitis B.. This same program has been started in the U.S.A. so we can now look forward to many cases of Type 1 diabetes in children. Similar rises in Type 1 diabetes have been seen in England, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark after immunization programs against Hepatitis B. 

Toxic Substances Are Needed To Make Vaccines. 

Vaccines contain many toxic substances that are needed to prevent the vaccines from becoming infected or to improve the performance of the vaccine. Among these substances are mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum.[15] 

In the past 10 years, the number of autistic children has risen from between 200 and 500 percent in every state in the U.S. This sharp rise in autism followed the introduction of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in 1975. 

Representative Dan Burton's healthy grandson was given injections for 9 diseases in one day. These injections were instantly followed by autism. These injections contain a preservative of mercury called thimerosal. The boy received 41 times the amount of mercury which is capable of harm to the body. Mercury is a neurotoxin that can injure the brain and nervous system. And tragically, it did. 

In the United States the number of compulsory vaccine injections has increased from 10 to 36 in the last 25 years. During this period, there has been a simultaneous increase in the number of children suffering learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder. Some of these childhood disabilities are related to intrauterine cerebral damage from maternal cocaine use, but probably vaccines cause many of the others. 

Many vaccines contain aluminum. A new disease called macrophagic myofasciitis causes pain in muscles, bones and joints. All persons with this disease have received aluminum containing vaccines. Deposits of aluminum are able to remain as an irritant in tissues and disturb the immune and nervous system for a lifetime. 

Nearly all vaccines contain aluminum and mercury. These metals appear to play an important role in the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease. An expert at the 1997 International Vaccine Conference related that a person who takes 5 or more annual flu vaccine shots has increased the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's Disease by a factor of 10 over the person who has had 2 or fewer flu shots. 

When we take vaccines we are playing a modern version of Russian Roulette. We not only get exposed to aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and foreign cell proteins but we may get simian virus 40 and other dangerous viruses which can cause cancer, leukemia and other severe health problems because the vaccine pool is contaminated due to careless animal isolation techniques. Congress has protected the manufacturers from lawsuits, so dangerous vaccines simply increase profits at no risk to the drug companies. 

U.S. children aged 2 months began receiving hepatitis B vaccine in December 2000.No peer-reviewed studies of the safety of hepatitis B in this age bracket had been done. Over 36,000 adverse reactions with 440 deaths were soon reported but the true incidence is much higher as reporting is voluntary so only approximately 10 % of adverse reactions get reported. This means that about 5000 infants are dying annually from the hepatitis B vaccine. The CDC's Chief of Epidemiology admits that the frequency of serious reactions to hepatitis B vaccine is 10 times higher than other vaccines. Hepatitis B is transmitted sexually and by contaminated blood, so the incidence of this disease must be near zero in this age bracket. A vaccine expert, Dr. Philip Incao, states that "the conclusion is obvious that the risks[16] of hepatitis B vaccination far outweigh the benefits. Once a vaccine is mandated the vaccine manufacturer is no longer liable for adverse reactions. 

Dr. W.B. Clarke's important observation that cancer was not found in unvaccinated individuals demands an explanation and one now appears forthcoming. All vaccines given over a short period of time to an immature immune system deplete the thymus gland (the primary gland involved in immune reactions) of irreplaceable immature immune cells. Each of these cells could have multiplied and developed into an army of valuable cells to combat infection and growth of abnormal cells. When these immune cells have been used up, permanent immunity may not appear. The Arthur Research Foundation in Tucson, Arizona estimates that up to 60 % of our immune system may be exhausted[17] by multiple mass vaccines (36 are now required for children). Only 10 % of immune cells are permanently lost when a child is permitted to develop natural immunity from disease. There needs to be grave concern about these immune system injuring vaccinations! Could the persons who approve these mass vaccinations know that they are impairing the health of these children, many of whom are being doomed to requiring much 
medical care in the future? 

Compelling evidence is available that the development of the immune system after contracting the usual childhood diseases matures and renders it capable to fight infection and malignant cells in the future. 

The use of multiple vaccines, which prevents natural immunity, promotes the development of allergies and asthma. A New Zealand study disclosed that 23 % of vaccinated children develop asthma , as compared to zero in unvaccinated children. 

Cancer was a very rare illness in the 1890's. This evidence about immune system injury from vaccinating affords a plausible explanation for Dr. Clarke's finding that only vaccinated individuals got cancer. Some radical adverse change in health occurred in the early 1900s to permit cancer to explode and vaccinating appears to be the reason. 

Vaccines are an unnatural phenomena. My guess is that if enough persons said no to immunizations there would be a striking improvement in general health with nature back in the immunizing business instead of man. Having a child vaccinated should be a choice not a requirement. Medical and religious exemptions are permitted by most states. 

When governmental policies require vaccinations before children enter schools coercion has overruled the lack of evidence of vaccine efficacy and safety. There is no proof that vaccines work and they are never studied for safety before release. My opinion is that there is overwhelming evidence that vaccines are dangerous and the only reason for their existence is to increase profits of pharmaceutical firms. 

If you are forced to immunize your children so they can enter school, obtain a notarized statement from the director of the facility that they will accept full financial responsibility for any adverse reaction from the vaccine. Since there is at least a 2 percent risk of a serious adverse reaction they may be smart enough to permit your child to escape a dangerous procedure. Recent legislation passed by Congress gives the government the power to imprison persons refusing to take vaccines (smallpox, anthrax, etc). This would be troublesome to enforce if large numbers of citizens declined to be vaccinated at the same time.

BREAST CANCER: A Pinch of Cancer—Can Wearing a Bra Kill You? By William Thomas
(From: http://chetday.com/breastcancerandbras.htm)

If you didn’t burn yours in the ‘Sixties, you might want to put it away now.  “Bras cause breast cancer.  It’s open and shut,” says medical researcher Syd Singer.  The Singers became breast cancer sleuths in 1991.  On the day Soma discovered a lump in her breast, the husband-wife team was studying the effects of Western medicine on Fijians.  In the shower, Syd noticed that Soma’s shoulders and breasts were outlined by dark red grooves.  He remembered a puzzled Fijian woman asking his wife about her brassiere:  “Doesn’t it feel tight?”  “You get used to it,” Soma had replied.

Could bras be constricting breast tissue, Syd wondered, hampering lymph drainage and causing degeneration?  Soma decided to stop wearing hers.  But when Syd searched the medical literature he found no known causes of breast cancer, which rarely appears before a woman’s mid-thirties, most often after 40.  The highest death rates from breast cancer are in North America and northern Europe, with the developing world catching up fast.

The World Health Organization calls chemical toxins the primary cause of cancer.  But poisons accumulating in breast tissue are normally flushed by clear lymph fluid into large clusters of lymph nodes nestling in the armpits and upper chest.  The Singers found that “because lympahtic vessels are very thin, they are extremely sensitive to pressure and are easily compressed.” Chronic minimal pressure on the breasts can cause lymph valves and vessels to close.  “Less oxygen and fewer nutrients are delivered to the cells, while waste products are not flushed away,” the Singers noted.  After 15-20 years of bra-constricted lymph drainage, cancer can result.

Looking at other cultures, Soma and Syd were struck by the low incidence of breast cancer in poorer nations awash in pesticides dumped by northern nations.  They didn’t find peasant women wearing push-up bras.  Instead, they discovered that the Maoris of New Zealand integrated into white culture have the same rate of breast cancer, while Australia’s marginalized aboriginals have virtually no breast cancer.  The same trend held for “Westernized” Japanese, Fijians and other bra-converted cultures.

In Dressed to Kill:  The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras, the researchers also observed that just before a woman begins her period, estrogen floods her system, causing her breasts to swell.  If she continues wearing the same bra size, life-saving lymphatics will be even more tightly squished.  Had they found the “estrogen link” to breast cancer?  Childless women never fully develop their breast-cleansing lymphatic system.  Nor do women who have never breast-fed.  Working women who wear bras every day and postpone having children could be at higher risk, the Singers warn.  Even worse, a young woman’s coming of age is often “marked” by her first bra.  Like the ancient Chinese practice of foot-binding, “breast-binding” at puberty can eventually lead to severe medical complications.  

Could bras be the “missing link” in a growing epidemic of breast cancer?  Beginning in May, 1991, Soma and Syd Singer’s 30-month “Bra and Breast Cancer” study interviewed some 4,000 women in five major US cities.  All were Caucasian of mostly “medium income” ranging in age from 30-79.  Half had been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Almost all of the women interviewed were unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts.  Women who chose a bra for appearance, ignoring soreness and swelling, had twice the rate of breast cancer of those who did not.  But the most startling statistic was that three out of four women who wore their daytime bras to sleep contracted breast cancer.  Sodid noe out of seven women strapped into a bra more than 12 hours a day.  Bra-free women have just a one in 168 chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer, says Singer.  The same as bra-free men.

“Don’t sleep in your bra!”  Syd Singer pleads.  “Women who want to avoid breast cancer should wear a bra for the shortest period of time possible—certainly for less than 12 hours daily.”  Syd also submits that some 80% of bra-wearers who experience lumps, cysts, and tenderness will see those symptoms vanish “within a month of getting rid of the bra.”

Not everyone is ready to hang up her halter.  As one woman told the team, “My tits will sag all the way to my navel without a bra.”  But surgeon Christine Haycock at the New Jersey College of Medicine says that inherited traits—not ligaments or breast size—are the reason some breasts give in to gravity.  Bouncing bosoms help clear the lymphatics.

Well aware that their findings were “explosive,” the Singers sent their survey results to the heads of America’s most prestigious cancer organizations and institutes.  None responded.  Like the cancer business, the bra business ins huge.  Multiply how many worldwide women buy several $25 bras every year and you end up with a multiple of the 6-billion-a-year US business.  Syd Singer says that establishment censorship of the bra-breast cancer connection is killing women.  Pointing to the biggest commonality among breast cancer patients, he’s emphatic that it’s bra-squeezed lymphatics.  

Going bra-less for all occasions, Soma began dressing to de-emphasize her breasts.  She also began regular breast massage and bicycle riding, vitamin and herbal supplementation, and drinking only purified water.  Two months later, her lump disappeared.  At the first frightening sign of a lump, an angry Syd Singer says, “women should take their bras off before they take their breasts off.”  Why wait, when you can liberate your lymphatics now.  

IF YOU MUST WEAR A BRA:  Push-up and sports bras are out.  Choose loose-fitting cotton bras.  Make sure you can slip two fingers under the shoulder-straps and side-panels.  The higher the side-panels, the more severe the restriction of major lymph nodes.  Don’t wear this disastrous device to sleep.  Take it off at home.  Massage your breasts every time you remove your bra.  Sing your lymphatics into health—or at least breathe deeply.

What is HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP?

High Fructose Corn Syrup is liquid starch made from corn that has been processed to change most of its starch into fructose. Fructose is 75% sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Basically, you take corn, treat it with an acid, and it makes a very sweet sugar.

Manufacturers love HFCS, because it retains moisture, resists drying out, controls crystallization, prevents microbiological growth and blends easily with sweeteners, acids, and flavorings. It makes sugar drinks taste better and is cheaper than sugar. 

Naturally occurring sugars and sucrose contain fructose bound to other sugars.  But in addition, HFCS contains a good deal of "free" or unbound fructose. This free fructose seems to interfere with absorption of key minerals like magnesium, copper and chromium. 

Fructose is absorbed by your body differently than is glucose.  When you eat glucose, your pancreas starts producing insulin, which enables sugar in the blood to be transported into cells, where it can be used for energy. The hormone leptin, which helps regulate appetite and fat storage, also kicks in.  Another hormone made by the stomach, ghrelin, that helps regulate food intake. is suppressed. The theory is that when ghrelin levels drop, you stop feeling hungry. So there are some appetite inhibitors inherent in glucose.

Fructose, however, "appears to behave more like fat with respect to the hormones involved in body weight regulation." [Peter Havel—U of CA]  “It doesn't stimulate insulin secretion. It doesn't increase leptin production or suppress production of ghrelin. That suggests that consuming a lot of fructose, like consuming too much fat, could contribute to weight gain.”

In addition, in the liver fructose is converted more easily into trigylcerides than is glucose. High levels of trigylcerides are linked to heart disease.  Fructose has been linked to elevated blood cholesterol levels, and blood clotting. It slows down white blood cell activity, impairing the immune system. 

Rats fed a high-fructose, low copper diet started dying after 5 weeks; normally they live around 2 years.  Fructose has been shown to have a negative impact on kidney function. One of the few human studies of low-copper, high-fructose diets was stopped when 4 of the 24 subjects developed heart problems. Other studies with rats show that a high fructose diet can cause adult-onset diabetes. [Meira Fields, Ph.D., research chemist at the USDA in Beltsville, Maryland]  Fructose, especially when combined with other sugars, reduces stores of chromium, a mineral essential for maintaining balanced insulin levels. [Richard Anderson, Ph.D., Human Nutrition Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland.] 

Finally, there is an epidemic of obesity in America, especially among children.  Their diet of “liquid candy” (HFCS in processed drinks and foods) is a main culprit.  A 12-ounce soda pop drink contains the equivalent of in ten teaspoons of sugar. 

So, High Fructose Corn Syrup is a sweeter sugar that doesn’t inhibit the appetite like regular sugar, and that stresses the body while interfering with its absorption of key minerals.  This can contribute to heart disease, kidney problems, blood clots, a reduced immune system, and higher cholesterol. And—you get fatter quicker!

WHAT IS SOY ISOLATE?  

Normal powdered soy flour contains: 40% protein, 18% fat, 10% fiber, 5% minerals, the rest carbohydrates (approximately).  To make soy isolate, the beans are processed to remove the fat, carbohydrates, fiber and some of the minerals.  What remains is the protein. Soy isolate contains around 90% protein.  It is the key ingredient in most soy foods that imitate meat and dairy products, including infant formulas and some brands of soymilk.

To make it, the beans are mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fiber, then washed in acid, and then in another alkaline solution.  The acid wash in aluminum tanks leaches high levels of aluminum into the product.  The final result is spray-dried at high temperatures, to produce the high-protein powder.  [TVP is produced with a further high-temperature, high-pressure extrusion processing of the soy protein isolate.]

Most of us understand that the less processing a food undergoes, the more nutritional value it contains.  There are further cautions to consider before consuming soy isolates.  For instance, nitrites, which are potent carcinogens, are formed during spray-drying.  Lysinoalanine (a toxin) is formed during alkaline processing.  Artificial flavorings, esp. MSG, are added to soy protein isolate and TVP to mask their beany taste.  Also then the manufacturer can then get away with not listing these as ingredients, as they have become a part of the isolate process.

Another problem is that soy products contain isoflavones. 25g. of soy protein isolate (minimum amount claimed to have cholesterol-lowering effects) contains 50-70 mg of isoflavones.  In one study only 45mg of isoflavones in premenopausal women caused a reduction of hormones needed for adequate thyroid function.  These effects lingered 3 months after they stopped eating soy.

Some studies show that reproductive problems, infertility, thyroid disease, liver disease have show up in many types of animals on diets high in isoflavones.  The claim that soy prevents osteoporosis is extraordinary, given that soy foods block calcium and cause vitamin D deficiencies.  And a baby fed soy formula exclusively receives the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least 5 birth control pills per day.  

So what are isoflavones? Isoflavones are one of three phytoestrogens found in plants.  They have a chemical structure similar to estrogen.  Genistein and daidzein are the primary isoflavones in soy.  They seem to have an effect in the human body which is similar to estrogen.  Some scientists seem to think this is a healthy thing, in moderation, such as to reduce cancer risk, hot flashes, osteoporosis, lower cholesterol.  Results around hot flashes are subjective.  The mineral deficiencies caused by ingredients in soy products make laughable the claims for increased bone density.  

A 1991 Japanese study showed that eating 2T worth of soybeans daily for a month caused major decrease in thyroid-stimulating hormone; some subjects developed hypothyroidism and goiter; others had constipation, fatigue and lethargy.  A 1997 study by FDA researchers (National Center for Toxicological Research) found that the component in soy which caused thyroid problems was isoflavones.  Reproductive problems, infertility, thyroid disease, liver disease have show up in many types of animals on diets high in isoflavones.

Soy products also contain 1) enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion (in animal tests causing pancreatic abnormalities including cancer) and 2) haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.  Both of these substances are growth inhibitors.  Processors of soy isolates can remove much (not all) of the trypsin inhibitor with high temperatures, but this denatures the other proteins in soy to render them practically inert.  (Soy contains goitrogens, which depress thyroid function (mentioned above).  And although this may not apply to foods carried by GFM, a very large percentage of soy is genetically modified.  Soy crops have one of the highest percentages of contamination by pesticides of any food.  Soy is high in phytic acid, which can block the absorption of essential minerals, ie. calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and especially zinc (this effect is modified by eating some meat or fish with the soy, as is common in the East).  Only a long period of fermentation sufficiently reduces the phytates in soy for safe consumption (miso, tempeh, etc.)  Heat treatments can reduce the trypsin, but it also destroys other proteins in the soy, rendering it pretty much useless as a food product. 

Much research has been done lately to prove that ingredients in soy have anti-cancer properties, lower blood cholesterol, reduce the symptoms of menopause, etc. This research seems in large part sponsored by and paid for by the soy industry.  After 4 hours of searching through articles on the web, I found no unbiased studies which found that soy products in general were healthy.  In fact, unbiased studies seem to prove the opposite (see article by Sally Fallon & Dr. Mary G Enig, and other articles and studies, in a folder at the front desk of the store).

The soy industry cites comparisons of Oriental and Occidental populations to prove that consumption of soy products reduces risks of certain cancers.  The actual studies show that some cancers are less in Oriental people (breast, uterus, & prostate), but Orientals are at greater risk for other cancers (such as esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, and thyroid).  Soy causes these “more Oriental” types of cancers in lab rats. 

So, soy isolate has a 90% protein content, protein that has been heat treated (rendering most of the protein inert); plus aluminum from the processing tanks, and often artificial flavorings (not listed in the ingredients).  In addition it still contains most of the troubling ingredients of soy itself (thyroid inhibitors, mineral absorption inhibitors, phytoestrogens, etc.)  Bon appetit!

THE NATURE OF HEALTH—AND DIS-EASE

FLOWER ESSENCES

	Flower essences are the vibrations of flowers, captured in water and preserved with brandy or vinegar.

	The vibrations of flowers and gemstones were used eons ago, back in Lemuria.  They were used to get back in balance.  The Lemurians were so sensitive that they could merely sit in front of a flower, reach out psychically, and absorb its essence in a healing way.  They used flowers for spiritual growth.  There was little, if any, physical disease among them. 

	By the time of Atlantis, which was a colony of Lemuria, people had become more materialistic.  Their growing lack of attunement with nature brought on physical diseases. They needed to prepare flower essences and ingest them in order to reattune themselves and be healed. Atlantean elders brought the knowledge of flower essences to the Egyptians after the fall of Atlantis,  but soon this knowledge was lost.

	In recorded history, flower essences first reappear in the work of Dr. Edward Bach during the early twentieth century. He was an English physician turned homeopath who rediscovered the efficacy of flower essences and researched them extensively and scientifically.  He discovered an intimate relationship between the states of mind/emotions of his patients and their diseases.  He believed the first brought about the second.  "In all true healing," he wrote, "there is a materialization of spiritual forces from the higher realms and from the Higher Self for a cleansing of mind, body, and emotions."  He wanted to develop a simple system of healing accessible to all, not just to the healing professionals. He perfected the technique now used, of floating flowers in pure water, to capture their life-force or life-essence; then the flowers in the water were exposed to full sunlight for 3 hours to "set" the flower essence energy into the water. Brandy was used as a preservative.   Kirlian photographs taken of flower essence water after removal of the flowers show the pattern of the flower's auric force imprinted into the water.

	Bach flower essences focused on the emotional and mental states present in people which, if not changed, could evolve into physical disease. According to Gurudas, flower essences being discovered recently often focus more on spiritual and physical states, because more people are now ready to develop spiritually, and because we are now exposed to so much pollution, which weakens our immune systems.  All flower essences influence the spiritual state, however, by cleansing and purifying blockages in the mental, emotional and physical parts of the person.

GEM ELIXIRS
	Gem elixirs are made the same way as flower essences.  They can be a bit more physical in their affects than the flowers.

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES 
Homeopathic remedies are also vibrational.  They work slightly differently, however.  Essences and elixirs bring into the body the healthy vibration necessary for balance; the body’s crystalline systems then amplify that healthy vibration to help the body come back into balance through entrainment.  For example, have you ever tried to sing an A flat in a roomful of people singing an A?  They will bring you on key.  The essences work like that roomful of people.  Homeopathic remedies amplify the disease vibrations, to make them unstable, and to help the body’s own immune system kick in.  So they tend to come at things from another direction, and they tend to be the most physical in their effects.

FLOWER ESSENCES & GEM REMEDIES IN HOMEOPATHIC POTENCIES

Essences  may be used in neutral homeopathic potencies.  These include mother tincture to 6x, 6c, 12x, 12c, 200x, 200c, and 10MM.  Flower essences, in these neutral potencies, are almost always prescribed at only 10MM.  This is because they work on realms of consciousness, and 10MM takes the remedy to the vibration of the cause of the problem.  

The 10MM neutral potency is used to alter the consciousness that may, for instance, be causing stress in the physical body.  Lower neutral potencies are prescribed when a person needs to assimilate the physical properties of the remedy, and when blocks in consciousness are not causing the problems;  i.e., when stress results in the body being stripped of Calcium, a low neutral potency would help restore Calcium to the body, but not necessarily deal with the cause of the stress.  The high neutral potency would help restore Calcium to the body by working upon the cause of the stress.  As previously stated, flower essences work on realms of consciousness, so are almost always taken all the way to 10MM.

The energy released by a vibrational remedy flows in waves that affect the physical and subtle bodies.  The height of a wave is its amplitude.  The 10MM neutral potency is at the top of the wave, and all other neutral potencies occur at or near the bottom of the wave.

Crest—10MM
Bottom—mother tincture to 6x, 6c, 12x, 12c, 200x, and 200c

This principle is one reason why low homeopathic potencies can often be prescribed for several weeks without any problems developing.  The generally recommended dosage for neutral potencies is as follows:  mother tincture to 3x or 3c—up to 30 days, once or twice a day; 6x and 6c—for 2 weeks once or twice daily; 12x, 12c, 200x, 200c—for about one week once or twice a day; and 10MM—for one or two months once or twice a day.  These potencies, except for 10MM, are already commonly used. 

Most homeopaths would question prescribing a remedy at 10MM more than once, if at all.  However, I [Gurudas] and several associates [including John A] have done this well over 100 times, with no disruptions in health or sharp aggravations, and often great improvement in health. 

Traditionally homeopaths often expect a client to go through a "healing crisis" or seemingly elevated symptoms, before the healing becomes evident.  This healing crisis is taken as evidence that the remedy’s life force is releasing toxins from the body by activating the person's life force.  However, a healing crisis is not always necessary, and seldom occurs when these vibrational remedies are prescribed correctly in neutral potencies.  A well-chosen remedy given at the exactly correct potency can often greatly improve health with little or no healing crisis occurring.  At these neutral potencies it is easier for the system to assimilate the life force of a vibrational remedy.  (information from Gurudas Flower Essences & Vibrational Healing, revised edition; Cassandra Press, 1989)

John Armitage/Babba, homeopathic physician and former colleague of Gurudas, recommends that neutral potencies of essences may be used as follows:  6c—up to 4x day for up to 6 weeks; 12c—4x day for up to 2 months; 200c—4x day up to 3 montsh.  10MM—so far, up to 6 months with no signs of proving, no harm to the energy body or the physical body.

He adds that meditating for even only 5 minutes a day will increase the effects of any remedy a person is taking.

CrySTALS  

	Crystals are composed of silica and oxygen, and are a medium through which we can amplify energies.  Quartz constitutes a very high percentage of the earth’s crust.  The single element of silicone and oxygen together, i.e. silica dioxide, constitutes about 75% of the outer planetary shell.  Other precious stones and metals occur in much lower quantities than this.  Quartz crystals really do carry the energies of the higher light frequencies.  These frequencies, of course, are very transformational.  One of the reasons why quartz is so effective, is that its matrix is made up of tetrahedrons.  Tetrahedrons are composed of four triangles together, forming a pyramidal shape (i.e. a 3-sided pyramid on a triangular base).   Countless numbers of these shapes are then closely packed together in a very precise way, in order to form the matrix of the crystal.  As we know, pyramids are great amplifiers of energy.  Crystals take their energy in through their base, amplify it through their bodies, and then transfer it out through their terminations.  Crystals work best with white light, and have one of the highest frequency capacities in the entire mineral kingdom.   In addition, quartz is the single most versatile spectrum range crystal native to this planet.  Not only does it channel white light, but also every other colour in existence.,  So you will see that some of the energy that is being channelled by the crystal is actually colour.

	In order to fully appreciate the value of working with crystals in healing, it is important to first consider how much of our world, including the human body, is basically crystalline in its structure and substance.  Everything is basically crystalline in this world, and when crystals are resonating on precisely programmed frequencies, they are able to work with, be affected by, and transmit a multitude of different energies.  The human body is also crystalline in nature.  The largest single element in the human body is water, which is a form of liquid crystal.  The blood is also liquid crystal.  The trace minerals etc. are all crystalline in nature.  Within the brain, the pineal and the pituitary glands are composed largely of crystalline substances, as are the other glands within the endocrine system.  So, by using quartz crystals to work on our bodies, we are therefore able to program the crystalline nature of our physical bodies.  We will discuss ways of doing this. 

	Crystals will work with any kind of energy, not just the energies that are of the Light and Unconditional Love, so it is necessary that everyone who works with crystals, and has crystals in their possession, knows how to clean, de-program and program them. First, you should realise that some crystals have been worked with before, when they were in the ground.  During the times of Atlantis, Lemuria, and other great civilisations in the material world, we worked with crystals, not only for the Light, but also for other modalities, disassociated from the Light.  Everyone would like to think that Atlantis was a great time in human history, and that everybody around in those days were all priests, priestesses and followers of the Light, when in fact this is not true.  There were many discordant energies, and many warring factions around on the planet during the time of Atlantis.  This resulted in the destruction of that great civilisation.  So crystals have been used many times before, even when they were in the earth.  Sometimes when they come into your possession, they can still be holding programmes that allow them to work with these energies that are not of the Light.  Deprogramming stops the crystals from doing this.

	There is a difference between programming and cleaning or cleansing.  Programming imprints a command, or a thought form or idea, into the internal matrix of the crystal, just as you would put the information onto the hard disk of a computer.  Clearing and cleansing merely clears the crystal of the accumulation of unwanted energies.  First let’s look at how to deprogram and cleanse our crystals.  Despite the fact that the most commonly given method of doing this is to put them in salt, sea salt or saline solutions, we do NOT recommend this.  Salt is a crystalline structure, and a great gatherer of discordant energies, or energies that have disassociated themselves from the Source, or from the Light.  Crystals do not like salt; it gets into the microscopic cracks in the faces of the crystal and leeches out the water content.  Just as you wouldn’t like to be packed into salt, because you would dehydrate, so it is with your crystals.  They dehydrate and then start to crack up.  It is possible to actually deprogram and reprogram the salt in order to clear it of unwanted energies, but even so the crystals still do not like being in salt, because of the dehydration that it causes.

	So how do we clear and cleanse our crystals?  We do it with intent.  We have learned already that thought is energy, and intent is everything.  So first hold the crystal with the base in one hand (usually the right) and the point in the other.  Formulate an intent within your mind, “You will be deprogrammed (or cleaned or cleansed).”  Then affirm that the crystal is now de-programmed and cleared of all unwanted energies.  (You may need to do this up to three times. Personally I find that using this combination of three is much better than stating it only once.  It is also useful to remember that when you make affirmations that are going to alter your life, or the life of your clients or healees, then it is as well to use them in threes.)  You can transfer this intent through your 3rd Eye or for those not used to using their 3rd Eye, through your hands, just as you would transfer Shamballa energies through your hands. 

	Once the original program is out of the crystal, we need to reprogram the crystal.  We again use the same method of intent.  I personally program all my crystals with a number of programs.  Some are command programs, and some are what I would term subprograms.  The first command program is:  “You will only channel the energies of the Seed Blueprint of Creation, in accordance with Divine Will.”  The second part is: “You will be self-cleansing.  Subprogram: you will not channel any energies that have disassociated themselves from the Light.  Subprogram You will work when I day go, and stop when I say stop.”  I also always program my crystals with a subprogram that states that nobody can change the program except me, or, if I am programming crystals for somebody else, then I would substitute that person’s name.  You can add and delete many extra subprograms to your crystal.  A crystal which is only 1” long is capable of holding thousands of programs all at once.  You can program them to help facilitate various events, or to bring various energies into your life, such as connecting with your Higher Self, your I Am Presence, or for activating the ability to channel higher dimensional energies.  You could, if you wished, activate them to bring about any healing modality.  Personally, I do not program crystals to bring about specific healings in people.   We should realise that we are healing facilitators, and not healers, and that everything should take place only in accordance with Divine Will.  So, having programmed the crystal with, “the Seed Blueprint for Creation in accordance with Divine Will,” any appropriate healing will automatically be channelled and amplified by the crystal.

	To add or delete programs from a distance, just visualise the crystal that you wish to change, add or delete the programming of.  Send the mental command to the crystal.

	Now that our crystals are correctly programmed, we can start to use them in various ways.  One of the reasons why crystals are so good for this type of work is because they are capable of holding very precise and steady frequencies.  (This of course is why crystals are used in mobile telephones, radio transmitters and receivers, quartz watches, etc.)  Crystals have within them spiral matrices, some spiraling to the left and some to the right.  We therefore refer to the crystal as right- or left- handed, or a male or female, although I prefer not to use gender terms here.  Look for the direction in which the smallest face of the crystal is formed.  If the face is pointing straight up, then this indicates that the crystal can be used in either hand, and is a neutral channeller of energy.  If the face is leaning to the right or left, then it follows that this is either a right-handed or left-handed crystal.  Some of them have various angles to these slanting faces.  The sharper the angle, so the more orientated towards the right or left hand it becomes.  Sometimes you will find a crystal that has both a small face that leans to the right and one that leans to the left.  In this case the crystal has a double spiral and can be used in either hand.  Left-handed crystals, used in your left hand, will take away energy and inflammation; whilst right-handed crystals, used in your right hand, will increase energy.  Where the spiral is pointing straight up, then the crystal is very balanced and can be used for either of these purposes.

	We can use crystals as energising tools in our hands.  Strap them to your wrists with a wide piece of elastic, with the points facing downwards.  Use one on each wrist, of about the same size, and they will amplify the universal healing energy, the energy of Unconditional Love, that is flowing through you during your healing session.  You could also give the healee a crystal to hold in each hand, with the points facing up the arms.  This is a very energising way of using crystals, and very, very gentle.

	We can also form them into geometric patterns known as crystal mandalas on and around the body of the client.  This is a much more powerful way of using the crystals in healing.  The healee can be placed within a Star of David (6-pointed star) or double Star of David (12-pointed star) shape, which is even more powerful.  You can build this mandala out of various types of crystals.  All the types of crystals that I am going to discuss, except for the double terminates, are suitable for this type of mandala work.

	Place one crystal on each of the points of the star (which of course forms 2 interlocking triangles).  Your client or healee is placed inside the mandala, with the top point one hand’s length above the head, and the lower point one hand’s length beneath the feet.  This will also activate the Alpha and Omega chakras of the healee.  At one time we used to use copper wire to join up the crystals within the mandala, but we have now found that this is no longer necessary.  Instead, you can use either another crystal, or a crystal wand, or even your fingers.  Intent is again all that is required.  Formulate the intent within your mind, as you move the crystal in your hand, or your wand, joining up each one of the crystals within the mandala.  Start at the top of the mandala, the point above your client’s head, and build the first triangle, all the time moving in straight lines from crystal to crystal.  Then start at the opposite, lower point at the bottom of the mandala and join up the second triangle.  By now you will feel a definite change in energy, confirming that the mandala has been correctly joined up and activated—as will you client, who is lying within the mandala.

	To energise the healee, and cleanse and clear the aura, meridians, etc., place the crystals with their points facing inwards, towards the healee.  The energy will then enter through the base of the crystal, and its frequency will be altered as it travels through the stem of the crystal.  It will then be transmitted through the points.  Shamballa energy may be passed on to the client now if you wish.  You could then follow this by reversing the crystals, so that their points are now facing away from the healee.  This will have the effect of drawing off all unwanted energies, lowering high temperatures, drawing away any inflammation, etc.  Complete the session by turning the crystals inwards once more, thus re-energising and balancing the healee.

	It is possible, with the help of intention, crystals and/or healing, to reqrogram our minds, our consciousness, or the consciousness of our cellular structure.  This is just one of the ways that crystals work on the body physical, and on the consciousness.  When you stop to consider the implications of this, it opens up a whole new avenue of possibilities.  The blood, for instance, can be reprogrammed to become living crystal Light.  This blood is carried to every part and cell f the body so you can encode this living liquid crystal, that is your blood, with the Divine Light codes.  For instance, you can program your blood to channel your personal Seed Blueprint for your evolution in this life.

	We can also reprogram our DNA, as this is also a crystalline structure.  At one time, in the earliest history of this world, we had 12 strands of DNA, but 10 strands were taken away from us, by the beings from Orion.  The result of this was that whilst the Blueprint of our physical cellular structure was left mainly unaffected, it robbed us of large amounts of our potential consciousness.  This is reflected in the fact that 96% of our brain is now lying dormant.  In other words, the end result of having only 2 strands of DNA active means that only 4% of our brain is active.   DNA is vital to us, and everybody should now be working on the activation of their 12 strands (or more).  	[See DNA Activation Meditation, Shamballa manual, p. 37.]  

	A crystal mandala built in the shape of a 6-sided Star of David, or even a 12-sided star, is also a very powerful way of re-programming DNA, reprogramming your blood, activating your mind matrix, and other modalities.  Yu can add sub-programs to the crystals that you use within your mandala, to expand your DNA with the divine Light Codes, with the key codes from the Keys of Enoch, and with the sacred fire letters from the five sacred languages.  By programming the crystals in this way, you will be able to activate the mandala for this specific purpose.

	These Star of David crystal mandalas also have many other uses, for instance earth healing, improving the energies within a house, and office, or garden or on a smaller scale, making crystal-charged water.  The applications are endless.  When these mandalas are activated, they set up a holographic reflection of themselves, throughout dimension after dimension, right through to the Source.  By building and activating these mandalas, you are drawing down a focused pillar of Light, which is of course Unconditional Love and Compassion, the only true healing energy.

	Mother Earth is also a living being, just the same as we are, and she too has a meridian system, which is sometimes known as the energy gridwork or ley-lines.  So by building these crystal mandalas on ley-lines, it has the effect of acupuncturing the Earth’s meridian system.  You may wish to bring some Light into your garden, by building a crystal mandala on your lawn.  If you don’t already know where the ley-lines are running through your garden, then you can find them by dowsing.  You can also use this method to check whether these ley-lines are positive or negative in polarisation.  You may then wish to inject some Light into any lines which are carrying discordant energies, and using a Star of David crystal mandala is exactly the right way to do this.  I personally have built nearly 600 crystal mandalas, all over the planet, in order to help facilitate the transition into wholeness of Mother Earth, so I would encourage all of you to get involved in this crystal mandala building technique.  

	The vast subject of dowsing is probably beyond the scope of this writing, but it’s a much simpler method to use than you might think.  Many people say that dowsing id difficult, and that it requires certain gifts or skills in order to be a dowser, but it is actually the easiest thing in the world.  We are all human tuning forks, receiving and transmitting a myriad of energies and frequencies continuously, and the reply to your questions in dowsing will come through your I Am Presence, your Higher Self.  If you are interested in trying this method, then first find yourself a pendulum.  This can be made either of a metal such as silver, gold, copper or pewter, or quartz crystal, or mineral.  First check by asking which way this particular pendulum moves to respond with a “yes”, and which way for a “no”.  Then start asking your questions, as clearly and precisely as possible.  Just formulate the thought in your mind, again with intention, and allow the impressions to flow through you, holding the pendulum with an impartial mind.  Ask the question, and then empty your mind, and take the answer that you get.  If you think that you have not received the accurate answer, then you can always re-confirm or cross-confirm it by slightly re-wording your question.

	You can also use this method of dowsing to check different crystal types, and what they are most suitable for.  Draw a circle with a compass, divide the circle into equal sections, and write in each section one of the different crystal types that we are going to discuss later in this chapter.  With the crystal held in one hand, and your pendulum in the other, ask your question about the crystal, and dowse the answer by holding the pendulum over each one of the sections of the circle in turn.  If you find it difficult to visually or intuitively decide what type of crystal you are I possession of, then this method of dowsing will make it very easy for you.

CRYSTAL TYPES

	There are many different types of quartz crystal available, but here we will just discuss the ones most suitable for our work.  In the late 1970’s and early ‘80’s it was felt that we could identify 32 different types, but we have now simplified this into just a few basic ones.

Double-Terminated Crystals

	As the name suggests, these crystals have a point on each end. They have the capacity to both push and pull energy through their ends.  By placing a double-terminated crystal in between the chakras, they can then be used to move energy both upwards and downwards through the chakra column of the physical body.

Record-Keeper Crystals

	These crystals have a raised pyramid, or triangle, on one face—or sometimes many on several faces of the crystal.  These markings tell you that your crystal is a record keeper.  Carefully check all the faces of any quartz crystals that come into your possession.  Sometimes you will need to reflect a light source off the faces, in order to be able to clearly see the triangular markings.  It is not only quartz that can be record keepers.  I personally have fluorite, emerald, and ruby from Merlin’s Crystal mine in India, all of which are record keepers, and I have also seen these markings on other crystalline substances.  These crystals can hold information that has often been recorded there thousands of years ago, sometimes from the time of Lemuria and Atlantis.  They are just like libraries of stored information.  You can also activate them by rubbing your thumb across the pyramidal triangles, in the same way as you can activate tabular crystals by rubbing your thumbnail over the lines that are ingrained upon them.

Elestial Crystals

	These crystals are truly amazing.  They are easily recognised by the number of terminations all over them.  Unlike other crystals, elestials have been formed in water, and this gives them their unique appearance.  They are excellent for helping you through any emotional processing, and can be used to stabilise thought patterns.  They are also related to the angelic kingdom, so they can be used to contact the angels, who will often help you to overcome your emotional imbalances.  Elestial crystals are very powerful, so do not even consider working with them if you are resistant to change.  They will certainly bring to your notice any areas in your life which need addressing.  They can also be used to greatly expand consciousness.

Channelling Crystals

	These are recognised by their one large face, the other five faces being much smaller.  This large face has seven sides to it.  These crystals are excellent as a means to accelerate your channelling abilities, and they help to provide you with a clear link to your I Am Presence.  This means that you can access much information, since your I Am Presence is a wonderful source of wisdom.  They can also be used to access the energy of your healing guides, and the Ascended Masters, the Lords & Ladies of Shamballa.  Sit down, with your eyes closed, and holding the channelling crystal in both hands, rub your thumb up and down the 7-sided face, whilst at the same time linking with the energy of the being, Master, Guide that you wish to channel. Then just wait for the impressions to come.  These days it is very necessary to learn how to use these channelling crystals, because as has been previously stated, you can learn to channel your I Am Presence very easily with the help of these crystals.  By doing this, you will see a big difference in your life.

Tabular Crystals

	These are quite rare.  They are very flat in their configuration, and can be used to activate other crystals.  They are activated by rubbing your thumbnail over the lines that run across their body.  They often hold a reasonable amount of information within them.

Phantom Crystals

	These are also reasonably rare, but they can be found with all types of phantoms in them, which contain different types of minerals.  The active properties of the crystal are therefore enhanced by whatever mineral they contain.  They can also be used to tune in with your guides.

Self-Healed Crystals

	These crystals are very important to us as healing facilitators.  If you program your crystals with the “Seed Blueprint of Creation in accordance with Divine Will,” as previously mentioned, then many crystals, especially quartz crystals, will start to remember their wholeness.  As this happens, they start to grow multiple terminations from the base where they were removed from the matrix.  These crystals are therefore very powerful for use in healing, because they have already learned to heal themselves.  So watch out for these crystals.  My personal experience is that once programmed with the “Seed Blueprint of Creation,” crystals can start self-healing, and sprouting new crystals from their base, within a period of only weeks.  We would encourage you to experiment with these crystals, and just see what can be accomplished.

Window Crystals

	These crystals have small diamond-shaped faces, i.e. windows, which is an extra termination to the usual faces.  You can use these windows to actually enter the crystal with your consciousness.  Having entered the crystal with your mind, you will be able to experience the crystalline nature of the crystal, the Light that it generates, and ascertain its program.  They can also be used as springboards to launch yourself into higher dimensional realms.

Laser Crystals
	
	Laser crystals have long bodies, with balanced terminations.  If viewed pointed end on, you will see that the apex of the pint is in the exact centre.  They are used to transmit very concentrated beams of energy into any area where energy is needed.  You can also use these crystals to sew up holes in the human aura, just as you would darn a sock.  Many people have holes in their auras through electrical interference, the ingestion of prescribed or illicit substances, etc.  The result of these holds is that the energy charge of the person is leaked away, like water through the holes in a bucket.  These holes can also be used by energy thought forms, or other lower dimensional beings, to gain access and attach themselves energetically to the person.  These lower energies will then transmit their own energies of fear and emotional imbalanc into the system of their host.  Laser crystals are also ideal for joining up the crystals within a crystal mandala.

Charging your Crystals

	Build your programmed crystals into a Star of David mandala, with the points of the crystals facing inwards.  Activate the Star, then place any crystals that you wish to charge inside the mandala.  Leave them in the mandala for 12 hours, and the crystals inside will become highly charged, and have far more energy for you to utilise in your crystal healing work.

Care of your Crystals

	Try to obtain crystals with good, unchipped terminations, as the more balanced and perfect the terminations, then the more focused are its energy transmitting characteristics, especially if you are using laser crystals.  Always ensure that your crystals are now allowed to be knocked together, or against other hard objects.  Once they are programmed, knocking them will actually release large bursts or charges of energy from them.  It also upsets the internal matrix of the crystal, and its internal structure, where the program is held.  Try to keep your crystals, when not in use, wrapped in cloth, in individual pouches.  Although crystals are quite hard, quartz is about 7.5 on the Mohr’s scale of hardness, they are also quite brittle.  Remember, your crystals are valuable working tools, so look after them as such.

MERLIN on EARTHWORK

I AM Merlin, the one that many know as the magician and the teacher of King Arthur.  I would like you to know that I am not myth, I am not legend.  I am Merlin the magician, and I am here.  I come to speak with you on the subject of what many would call earth healing.  I myself would prefer to call it earth working.  Earth working in numerous, different ways.  

First of all I would like to say that there are many human beings that have a habit of believing that they have saved the earth.  They travel off to well-known places like Giza and Titicaca and all these well-known sites.  For me, I am always very happy when people go to these places, for it means that their attention is focused in the wrong place.  Why does it make me happy when their attention is focused in the wrong place?  It wouldn’t take much thinking about really now, would it?  If they are messing around in these places, the points upon the earth that are now the truly holy and sacred sites are being left alone by these interfering beings.

Have you ever noticed how so many just have this total belief that they have saved the earth?  And if every one of these people had really saved the earth, we would definitely be in another dimensional reality.  How many people did you hear claiming that they had activated the ascension codes in Giza?  Again, it does not take much thinking through that if they had, things would be very different.  I would like to tell you that the ascension codes are not kept in Giza, anyway.  They are somewhere else in a completely different country.  I would give you one small clue.  They are on that island that once was my home during the time of Arthur.  And before you all go off stampeding to Stonehenge and other places, the codes are not there, either.  At the moment there are only two or three people upon the planet that know where they are, and we intend to keep it that way for now. 

Many of these people go off and they take crystals with them in their workings.  They take crystals that have not been processed or programmed, and they put them into the body of the earth mother and create discordant energies within her body and grids.  It means that somebody at some time at some place has to clear up these energies.  It is not a question of going and taking these crystals out, it is a question of programming the crystals correctly.  This of course can be done remotely on most occasions by beings that have the knowledge and the focus.

I Merlin am not trying to discourage the people who believe it is their mission to save the earth.  In many ways I encourage them.  Because at least it keeps them out of any other mischief they may get into.  And after all, we have the technology, we have the beings to do the reharmonizing, re-balancing.  

So, I would like to speak to you on just how you should be working with crystals in conjunction with the earth mother’s energy body.  Of course there was a time when I would have encouraged everybody to lay mandalas of six-pointed stars.  But the energies have been changing rapidly.  Many would not realize that we have already been through a dimensional shift.  And because we have been through this dimensional shift, it is necessary to change the configuration of the mandalas.  What configuration should you now use?  You should lay mandalas with twelve-pointed stars.  In other words, a double star of David, twelve crystals.

Of course many human beings are resistant to change.  It has been a thing that I have noticed over thousands of years.  And where humans are resistant to change, they have a tendency to make all kinds of excuses not to do things, so many will make the excuse, “I do not know how to do a twelve-pointed star.”  Most human beings understand that one plus one equals two.  And that one six-pointed star and another six-pointed star make twelve.  So this is not a riddle.  It is information that tells you that a twelve-pointed star is two six-pointed stars.  So how would you lay them?  You would lay one six and then overlay  another six on top of it.  Very, very easy.

Now we spoke about programs and programming.  The programming of these crystals must be very precise, for if they are precise it means we don’t have to go change the programs after the people have left.  And what programs would we use?  We would use a very, very simple but all-encompassing program.  We would program them so they would bring down the seed blueprint of Creation. This program allows the crystals to change their programming as the seed blueprint evolves and changes.   For good measure you could also throw in that they will bring down the Mahatma energy for those others that may hear or read or see this channeling.  More information is available on the Mahatma from many many different sources.  The most concise information that is available is from Brian Grattan and Vywamus.  So use the Mahatma program in conjunction with the other.  Also, make it that the programs of the crystal cannot be changed by anybody but you.  And this will prevent the mandalas from being interfered with—by those beings that consider it is not in their interest for the consciousness of mother earth and her children to expand.  For expansion of consciousness brings freedom and many still have it on their agenda that there will be no freedom.  It is not my place as Merlin to go into the dark places of control and depression.  For me it is just enough to inform you that some beings have a different agenda than you. 

Now it is also possible for these mandalas to be laid holographically.  For the sake of this channeling that I want to be freely distributed—this channeling supersedes all other channelings that I have ever brought through on earth working and healing with these crystal mandalas.  So it is possible to holographically imprint these mandalas.  Oh, of course I hear again the human beings say, “How can I do that?  I am only a human being.”  Do I have to remind you that you are all God and Goddess?  I suppose I do.  Sometimes I think that my voice is stuck in a groove like a stylus or a needle on a record.  “You are god/goddess, you are god/goddess, you are god/goddess, you are god/goddess…..the needle stuck, the needle stuck, the needle stuck, the needle stuck….Maybe if we made records or CD’s with “You are God/Goddess, you are God/Goddess, You are God/Goddess…….” (rapping of the God/Goddess hit!!!!!)  “What marvelous music, oh now I believe I am God/Goddess, it was on the radio!  Oh and they made a video and showed it on the TV!  They looked very beautiful! I am as beautiful as that!  God/Goddess, God, God/Goddess, God, God/Goddess” (rap rap).

Because you are all God/Goddesses you can holographically imprint mandalas.  You can holographically imprint anything.  Anywhere in the whole of Creation.  Isn’t that good news?  If everybody really understood this, the revenue of the airlines would go down fast.  As all these beings that thought they were the saviors of the earth wouldn’t be buying tickets to travel.  They would stay in the comfort of their own homes and send holographic imprints of mandalas to anywhere on earth that they consider needing rebalancing.

Do I need to give you information on how to form these holographic images in your mind?  Well, I understand that the persons present at this gathering probably have enough information on holographic imprints and holoforms, but many others would not consider they had brainpower to do it.  It is a marvelous thing that I have noticed about human beings.  They always consider they need more training.  Wake up!  You are everything now!  Once you realize this also, the workshop facilitators would have their revenues drop down.

So what will they do?  They can sit in their homes and send holographic imprints.  It will keep them happy believing they are saving everybody.  It’s about time that humans realize that nobody needs saving.  The earth doesn’t need saving, you can all save yourselves.  It’s the tendency you have to give your power away that makes you believe you need saving.  You can imprint yourselves holographically with saving holoforms.  So what is a saving holoform.  Of course you must realize by now that I am being jovial and I am having a laugh at your expense.  What you may consider to be a saving holoform I would consider the holoform of wholeness.  You mean it is that simple, that I can be saved?  The answer is yes.  I will try and focus my mind and be a little more serious with you.

But understand that for me, Merlin, sometimes that is quite difficult.  Often light-hearted fun with others brings about really quick realizations.  Sometimes realizations can be reached very quickly with fun, jokes and laughter.  Realizations that often take people many years, many years of supposed study and dedication, can be realized in a second through laughter.  You should learn to laugh at yourselves.  Learn to laugh at your thought processes and thought patterns.  Because once you learn to laugh at yourselves, one of the greatest realizations that human beings often have is how ridiculous their previous belief system was.  Of course, when I say how ridiculous your belief system was, it is not a criticism, for it is your belief system that helps you to realize the nature of your true selves.  

But often, for thousands of years you would hold onto these belief systems, becoming entrenched within them.  You would believe in them so much that it would be like existing in a box.  You would start not to understand that there is creation outside the box that you have constructed.  You would think that the sides and the walls of the box are the end of Creation.  It’s not true, Creation is infinite.  When you realize that the Creation is infinite, you should start to realize that there is infinite knowledge to gain.  That there is infinite amount of energy to be absorbed, so that where a truth was to you—the amazing discovery that you thought that encompassed the whole of Creation—you will find that it was merely a tiny fragment of Creation.  So change is what is needed, change in thought patterns, changes in lifestyles, changes in teachings, changes in philosophies, changes in sociological structure, changes in philosophical structure—in other words, complete change.  Change the way that you work with the mandalas.  For holographic thoughtform imprints from a concept in your mind of twelve crystals in the shape of a double six star.  These crystals can be any size that you would like.  If you would just quiet your minds for a moment, I will ask you to start forming these expressions within your mind.  And I, Merlin, will help each and every one of you present to form this concept, to see it in your mind’s eye.  So sit quietly for a moment and we will start creating.

Now you see these twelve activated crystals in your mind.  Let’s program them with the divine blueprint of Creation, also known as the seed blueprint of Creation.  So now I Merlin will imprint these holographic crystals that each and every one of you have in your mind with this program.  Seed blueprint for creation activated (puff).  We will just spend a few moments now, feeling and seeing that energy with the seed blueprint.  [pause]

So now let’s imprint these mandalas so that they channel the energy of Mahatma—the I Am Presence of Source—I do that now for you (puff).

And now the energies of Unconditional Love.

And now, self cleaning, self harmonizing and self balancing.

And now nobody can change the program except for you.

Now these are the series of the programs that you put into your holoform or your holographic crystals.  So now all you have to do is place that hologram into the earth.  And you have it—one holographic crystal mandala programmed up and running.  But now with each and everyone present we are not going to put this hologram into the earth.  We are going to insert this hologram into your higher heart chakra, into your chest space.  For those that have got the capacity to think logically and for those that know that your heart chakra is represented as a twelve petal lotus, it might be easy for you to think through that integrating a twelve-pointed activated mandala into your heart chakras will enhance your capability to love unconditionally and greatly increase the amount of high vibrational light that you are capable of grounding through this chakra.

So you could work with this yourself, but I Merlin will help you with it.  Let us now move this activated holoform from our minds into our hearts.  And I move this with you into your hearts now.  And now I further activate it with the energy of the magician (puff).   Your hearts are shining stars.

Others outside this workshop could use this technology to further activate their higher heart chakras.  This holographic imprint will help you to allow the magic, the magic of love, the magic of laughter, the magic of lightness to manifest in your lives.  It will enhance your healing, it will enhance your channeling processes.  It will enhance your lives in general.  For those of you that have experienced the Grail meditation with me, you may visualize the holy grail within the center of this holographic mandala.  This will further enhance your capabilities, will help you to realize your multidimensional reality.  For those of you that have not heard of or done the grail meditation with me, I suggest you look for a copy of this meditation and practice it on a regular basis.  This does not mean that you have to do it every morning and every night.  But if you visualize that grail and the energy of Mahatma love and light and Unconditional Love flowing into it to overflowing before you channel or heal, you will find it will be much easier and more focused.

Now think of this.  That every time that the seed blueprint for Creation changes—and it is, incidentally, changeable, it needs to be infinitely changeable, because every time a person walks in or out of the light, the whole plan has to change.  The final part of the plan never changes, because the final part of mother/father Source’s plan is that all beings shall return to Source.  All beings will be brought into the consciousness of Source.  But the way that this is facilitated for individuals, for races and countries, is constantly changing.  Because of the constantly changing minds of humans.  So when the seed blueprint changes, when the plan of the seed blueprint changes, you are already well and fully equipped to absorb the new and changed energies—through this twelve-pointed holoform you are instantly in touch with the changed energy.  It will save you a lot of effort and work.

There is an idea among humans that if there is anything worth having, it is hard work, and you will have to work very hard for it.  I Merlin tell you that anything worth having comes easy, and working with magic is easy.  So, hopefully I have given you some information which will be useful to you.  If you think it won’t be useful to you, well then put it aside.  There may be a time in the future when you come to the realization that it could be useful.

Of course, I Merlin do not expect all the people of the Earth instantly to believe what I say.  There are so many diverse, different types of beings with different ideas and philosophies, creating for themselves different degrees of limitations, creating for themselves different degrees of freedom.  And there was never any being that could please everybody on earth simultaneously, although I myself am working on it.  Why have I been around for thousands and thousands of years?  It has taken a little while.

So my message to you is to allow the magic to manifest  in your lives, allow the magic to manifest within your hearts.  Allow the magic to manifest in every aspect of your lives.

I AM Merlin, magician of those western isles.  I leave you in my love and I salute the divine within each and every one of you.  And I rejoice in every step that you take along your path, for the place that you are now is perfect for each and every one of you.

Blessings.
