In Truth, Simplicity Love and Service
BLESSINGS:
Truth is everlasting. Simplicity is everlasting. Love
is everlasting. They comprise the field of creation
from which all forms come forth and return to.
Understand this and you will experience a life free of
darkness and despair and you will be a Beacon of Light
to all sentient beings. I am always with you. Babaji

REMEMBER WHY YOU CAME TO EARTH
There will always be times when you feel discouraged.
I too have felt despair many times in my life,
but I do not keep a chair for it;
I will not entertain it.
It is not allowed to eat from my plate.
The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know
something, as do you.
It is that there can be no despair when you remember
why you came to Earth,
who you serve, and who sent you here.
The good words we say and the good deeds we do
are not ours: They are the words and deeds
of the One who brought us here.
In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your
wall:
When a great ship is in harbor and moored,
it is safe, there can be no doubt.
But that is not what great ships are built for."
-- Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Kelley and I wish to express our heartfelt gratitude
to Lee Placchi, Tamara Bourger, Patricia Marie Huband,
and Reverand Sandhi Scott for their love and support
of this Light Center. May the Goddess bless them a
thousand fold.
FEATURES:
"It is the conflict in the individual mind that
manifests as war. When individuals change, the society
will automatically change."
- Amma Chi (Bliss Mother)
............................................................................................................................................................
Why do we continue to have war and conflict? T.D.
Lingo in the amygdalae article coming up was told that
there is a biological answer for this. Yes, I agree it
is in our biology, in our DNA and it is in our psyche
as well. I believe it is an ancient throw back from
Origin that has been imprinted and hardwired into us.
Does this mean that we are stuck with it and that
there is no redemption for us or way to reverse it?
Not at all. AND we must become very conscious of this
energy within us, if we are to change it.
We can not have peace on earth or within ourselves if
we deny that we are holding part of the problem. We
must have awareness of this unconscious or
subconscious pattern or it cannot be eradicated from
the earth or within our lives.
Be willing to see how conscious or unconscious the
pattern runs in your life. How many times have you
said or heard they made me so angry, I wanted to
kill them. or how many times have you said or heard
I could kill for a chocolate Sunday (or whatever )
right now. Get honest with yourself. How many times
have you thought to yourself, Im going to kill the
person who did this.
The thing is a lot of times we do not hear ourselves
thinking or feeling this thought. We do not catch
ourselves saying it and it is in our vocabulary. Why
do you think or feel that is? We all have this
imprint, because we all came from the same beginnings.
The intent to kill, consciously or unconsciously was
motivated or happened at Origin and we were all there.
Be willing to see how prevalent war is globally,
historically even if it is not physically present in
your country. In the United States, we fight every
cause and we seek to eradicate it by killing it. We
have wars on drugs, homelessness, anything that in any
way is an affront to our moral arrogance. We become
indignant and seek to destroy that which is different
or seems to counter our narrow beliefs of how we think
life should be.
Be willing to see how this intent is carried out in
countless ways in our world besides in
war. In every hospital across the nation, the medical
professionals cut out, radiate, kill thru chemotherapy
what they do not understand. They have made us believe
that that is the only way to address what the body is
trying to teach.
We unconsciously and then consciously seek to kill
whatever is different from us. See the pattern. If you
are saying to yourself right now that this has nothing
to do with you, you are in denial and you cannot be
creating peace on earth with this denial. Accept your
part is this. Own it and be willing to feel what you
are holding with regard to this imprint and find ways
that resonate with you to release them into light and
understanding in your body-mind-will-heart and spirit.
May the Goddess bless you for your willingness to move
forward with your will and heart in healing the Mother
of Everything and bringing balance to the earth plane.

If you have not heard of TD Lingo and Neil Slade, then
its about time that you did!
TD Lingo was a veteran of World War II. When he came
back to the states from his tour of duty he asked
himself and a number of his professors where the idea
of war came from. One of them told him that it was to
be found within the human brain. The prof told him if
he wanted to find out the slow way he should stay in
school and if he wanted to discover it quicker, he
should develop his own research laboratory. So he did
the latter.
He studied the human brain and all of its machinations
for 30 years at the Dormant Brain Center in Colorado.
He discovered that the amygdalae (plural) located on
each side of the head, about one inch into the brain
was a master player in this research. T D discovered
that the amygdalae were capable of occupying two
different positions--forward and backward and that
each position caused man to behave vastly differently
depending on the position. The backward position
brought moods and behaviors of deep fear, anger, rage,
hostility, etc.; the forward position brought feelings
and behaviors of cooperation, harmony, trust,
intuition, imagination and creativity.
Many of us experience our amygdalae going into the
forward position whenever we experience pleasure, but
the state is usually not long lasting. TDs research
demonstrates how to click the amygdalae forward
continuously until we experience a Big Bang
sensation and then life as we know it changes forever,
according to the folks who have stayed faithful to the
clicking or consciously moving the amygdalae forward.
The length of time to arrive at the Big Bang is
apparently an individual experience.
The amygdalae are responsible for turning on our
frontal lobes. If you take your hand and put it on
your forehead, youll have grabbed onto your frontal
lobes. This is the part of the brain that folks talk
about when they say we are only using about 10% of our
potential brain capacity. The truth be known, we are
probably using a whole lot less than 10%. Clicking the
amygdalae forward opens up those frontal lobes and
with dedication, can open up those frontal lobes
exponentially from what T.D. and his buddy Neil Slade
have discovered.
All I can tell you is that since I began clicking my
amydalae forward and practicing some of the exercises,
my body and reality have begun shifting to the
absolute better. We have everything to gain by doing
these simple practices and they are fun!
One simple way to click the amygdalae forward is to
visualize a source of energy or Light in front of you,
sending you energy or light right into the middle of
your forehead. As it reaches your forehead, allow it
to split--one shaft going to the front of the left
amygdala (singular) and one going to the front of the
right amygdala. You MUST DO THIS ONLY TO THE FRONT
(not the back which will trigger reptilian, low
behaviors). Do this several times a day.
Once you get the above down, try this exercise. Click
your amygdalae forward.
Then visualize Universal energy coming into your
aura/electromagnetic field, into your body, up your
spine, into your reptilian brain, then your mammal
brain, to and thru your frontal lobes like a river
flowing. Keep it going as long as you like.
These simple exercises can change your view and place
in the world. To learn more, go to www.NeilSlade.com
Neil spent a number of years with TD and continues the
work and spreading the word. His website is great and
chock full of info. Order the tapes and his book,
Frontal Lobes Supercharge. They are brilliant and
certainly one of the ways we can be creating PEACE ON
EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD HUMANITY.
When we find spirituality, or it finds us, the
experience feels surreal. We begin to feel like we're
walking on a tightrope between two different worlds.
We become ungrounded and loose touch with the physical
side of life. When our spiritual mission becomes
clear, it is even truer. Learning to breathe and to
walk between these two experiences until they merge
can be a tough balancing act. Its easy to choose and
get lost in the new experience because it feels so
good and so right. Regular aspects in the physical
world seem less important and get set aside, many
times incomplete.
This tightrope doesn't have the same thinness as the
rope we think of in the circus. A spiritual path is
actually on the ground and wider even though it feels
like walking on air at times. If you step to one side,
you engulf yourself totally in the awe of
spirituality. The other, the physical world. And
because of its alluring influence, it is easy to
understand why we prefer to be there.
There are ways to merge the two experiences. Here are
seven techniques to help balance the tightrope:
1. Maintain or start new physical activities. Go
running, play tennis, take a walk, or workout. Allow
love to pour into the tennis racket. This is a neat
experience if you haven't tried it before. Allow the
physical activity to merge with a spiritual part. Walk
with a loving heart, say your favorite poem or prayer,
and feel it in each step. Do the same when making
beds, running errands, standing at the copy machine,
taking the kids to soccer, or washing the car. This
chases the doubt away and invites high attraction
vibrations in.
2. Caring for others. Take care of your family,
yourself, pets, and others in your life. Allow them
the amount of space they need to learn, falter (yes, I
said falter), and grow. Place yourself on that list,
so, set time, and space aside for you as well.
3. Keep financially stable. It is easy to say, "Do
what we love and the money will follow." Lean too much
on the spiritual side and you stop taking action and
the money dries up. This is like wishing to win the
lottery without buying a ticket. One difference with
balance the two -- the right people show up at the
right time. People sometimes think that when you find
spirituality, the money just finds you. This can't be
furthest from the truth. It means that you will find
it easier to attract what you need if you continue to
take action. If this is a learning and growth period,
it takes massive action -- action for learning and
action for the regular action. As hard as this one is
to balance and maintain, nevertheless it is feasible,
millions of people do so daily.
4. Spend more time planning and setting goals.
Manifesting what we want still requires action and
planning. Spirituality can nestle us so warmly and
lovingly its easy to set the needed action aside. The
level of balance is in the amount of flexibility you
allow in the action plan. Complete each action with
total openness of all that is possible for what
follows. Ask and allow the universe to send easier,
faster steps. And be open to see then when they
arrive. Ask, trust, and allow the universes infinite
wisdom to send you the answers. They are usually
better than anything we usually arrive at ourselves.
The tightrope is to balance trust with flexibility and
space for expanded freedom and results.
5. Keep on giving. Spirituality is a gift that needs
to flow. It can only continue to do so if people give.
There are many ways to give and the method you choose
will be the right one.
6. Allow room for real people and relationships. Other
people ground us and connect us to the physical world.
Yet, they must still allow us to evolve. People are
another form of giving and receiving -- two necessary
parts for good ground maintenance.
7. Receiving remuneration is a gift. Accept it as if
it came from the universe asking you to continue the
flow. When we receive, water continues to flow into
our cup and allows our mission to continue its
evolution. Asking for compensation allows both parties
to continue the flow. When we shift our perspective
and see the need for flow, additional funds to appear.
Enjoy spirituality in balance with both feet on the
ground!

"The Sanatan Dharma is the Universal Law - eternal,
without beginning without end. No one knows when it
came into being; no one knows how long it will
last...
Babaji
"All living creatures, and even insentient forms like
rocks, are in a constant pattern of change. Even
mountains crumble; trees and plants grow from seeds,
produce a ripened plant, then die and decay, providing
a base for other life; animals, including humans, are
born , mature, and die. Human beings are considered
the highest form of life. Babaji said even the gods -
the subtle energy forms - long for human existence,
because it is only in the human form that a soul can
grow in wisdom and spiritual understanding. Only human
beings have the power to think and change their ways
through experience and rational thought. Human beings
are the physical forms which are the closest to the
Divine - the only form of earthly life which can
experience and realize its unity with the Divine."
Taken from: I am Harmony by Radhe Shyam
"The Sanatan Dharma is the king of all religions. At
the beginning of Creation is was the only (way) and at
the end of Creation it will be the only (way). Sanatan
Dharma is like an ocean; other Dharmas (Paths) are
like rivers-eventually they all merge into the Sanatan
Dharma. They will lose their separate existence.
Babaji
Jai Mahamaya Ki Jai!
Many people in the United States viewed a program on
Primetime, Channel 7 recently where John Quinones,
television journalist interviewed John of God (Joao de
Deus) in Abadiania, Brazil. The Casa de Dom Inacio in
Abadiania is where John and his magnificent spirit
guides work. Thousands of people from all over the
world have gone to Abadiania to be healed.
www.friendsofthecasa.com received a volume of
responses to the interview. Below is one such
response.
Maria from Long Island was in Abadiania for two weeks
in January. She sent the following letter to John
Quinones and the Editors of Prime Time on ABC-TV:
To John Quinones and the Editors of Prime Time on
ABC-TV:
I am taking this opportunity to comment on the John of
God Prime Time Special that on aired on February 10th.
First, my husband and I are pleased that Prime Time
chose to focus a one hour special on this amazing
human being and also for implying that he may be the
greatest healer since Jesus Christ, which we believe
may be true.
The overall report was extremely interesting and
fairly accurate except for some very important facts
that were not brought to the viewer's attention. This
information would have given the audience a more
balanced view of Joγo as a gifted human being who
feeds the poor rather painting him as the leader of a
cult and a "taker" who is "in it for the money". Thank
you for showing Joγo's tears when you suggested his
motive is money.
It just so happens that my husband and I returned from
a two week trip to Abadiania on Jan 29th, two weeks
before the show. Of course, when we arrived we were
sceptics. After experiencing several unexplainable,
incredible and strange events, within days we started
to understand that there was more to this place than
spirits and entities. It is the power of prayer.
What was missing from your report is the religious
aspect of the Casa and what propels the people who go
there. Yes, there are people who visit who have
studied spiritualism, reiki or reincarnation, many
from California, New Mexico and Arizona, where this
practice is commonplace. However, we found that the
bulk of the people who traveled from abroad to be
highly-educated, many are successful business people
and many were never involved with spiritualism, just
everyday normal people; some curious, most with some
kind of ailment or emotional condition and a few with
a fatal illness.
Joγo happens to be a devout Catholic. Not a word was
mentioned about his beliefs and not a word was
mentioned about Jesus or Mary, both who are entities.
Some saints recognized by the Catholic Church are also
entities. In fact, the impression given by the
documentary is that all the entities, other than King
Solomon, are doctors. Your report focused on
spiritualism with hardly a word about Joγo's religious
beliefs leaving the audience to believe that he is an
eccentric.
Many people who visit the Casa wear Rosary beads and
many say the Rosary at 8 pm every evening. The Lord's
Prayer and the Hail Mary are recited in Portuguese and
in English at the beginning of every service morning
and afternoon. Not a word about this. Joγo's religious
beliefs would certainly would have given him much more
credibility. Could this be because it would not be
politically correct?
You chose to focus on the surgeries with the hemostat
up the nose and very little was mentioned about other
types of surgeries. I witnessed Joγo removing a tumor
from a woman's arm with his bare hands and, in fact, I
video-taped the operation. On another afternoon, Joγo
cut open a man's scrotum, reached in and pulled out a
cyst. All of the surgeries are video-taped and
documented with certain selected segments available
for purchase. So what? The cost of the upkeep of this
special place and his charitable works requires money
through donations.
There was no mention about the beauty of the Casa, how
it is maintained, freshly-painted with flowers
adorning the manicured grounds.
He works every morning and every afternoon six days a
week. If he is making a lot of money, he sure doesn't
spend time enjoying it.
As for mentioning Joγo owning 1000 acres in this
remote part of the world, give me a break! We could
have purchased a lavish 4 bedroom home in this
"hotspot" for $15,000, which is considered an
extraordinary amount of money. The local men earn 300
reals a month, which is equal to $100 US.
No mention that Joγo chose this site because it lies
on a bed of crystals, which is believed to have a high
energy level. That's what makes this location unique.
We stayed in a pousada and were told by a reliable
source that the "entities" were present. The hair
stood up on our arms as we entered the room. Something
was definitely going on in that room. That very
evening my husband, who is very pragmatic and
non-spiritual, had a vision of one of the saints. We
are both very impressed.
I know people who were present when the Prime Time
cameramen were filming. They told me that there was a
problem with the electric power provided to work the
cameras and it suddenly and unexplainably went out.
That would have been interesting to report.
There are substantiated reports that people who return
home after having an invisible operation have scars
showing up in x-rays, stitches and all. I met a woman
from NYC whose husband is a professor at Columbia
University. She had an invisible surgery for her
scoliosis. After she returned to her home, a scar
appeared on her back. She was in Abadiania when we
arrived and showed the scar to all who were
interested. She is so moved by her experience that she
and her husband are writing a book on healing in
Taiwanese.
Another couple, who we met from Curacao had a very
unusual experience. We had breakfast together the
morning after he took a shower and blood was trickling
down the inside of his leg from a small cut in his
scrotum. He has a history of problems with his
prostate. It was an invisible operation.
I know there is only so much that can be said within
the time frame given to air this show, but the people
who edited this work may have demonstrated poor
judgment in what they selected to be aired. The
consensus among the people I spoke to who saw the show
was that the report portrayed Joγo as an opportunist
and his followers or believers as unstable and
abnormal. This is what concerns me and compelled me to
write to you.
Thank you for giving me the platform to express
myself.

Toni adds: John of Gods work and presence is all
encompassing. He has a strong connection and support
with all of the Divine. Those whose lives do not allow
the Divine to be a part of their life cannot be made
to understand this.
There is a natural cycle occurring that is relatively
unknown except by a handful of people. I say handful
because in terms of the entire population of Earth
(over 6 Billion), a few hundred thousand is just that.
These few know we are in the midst of a cycle of
evolution intended to be experienced from the
beginning of linear time. Hidden from the masses, this
Cycle of Creation has existed to move us forward
through the next evolutionary steps until we return to
our original selves as Light Beings.
The Cycle of Creation has been well documented by the
Mayans and others, such as the Hopi. The Hopi speak
freely about the "worlds" in which we experience and
how we are poised on the verge of the final "world."
However, because the Mayans hid the message in a
calendar, past and present day scholars have not
understood its meaning. The message is that the end of
the calendar marks the beginning of a final "circle"
within the Cycle of Creation.
What exactly does this mean? In a nutshell, we have
moved from circle to circle, moving closer to the
center. Displayed frequently in petroglyphs all over
the world, concentric circles are the most fundamental
way of graphically showing the Cycle of Creation.
Moving from one circle to next are marked events or
doorways. We are about to step through one of the
final doorways.
The circles vary in perspective. One way to look at
them is Ape-man to Cro-Magnon to Human Being to Light
Beings, and another is to perceive the circles at a
finer detail. These labels might include individual,
group, community, national, global and galactic.
Regardless of how you slice and dice it, we are on the
brink of going from global to galactic. Although there
have been some glitches recently from those that would
like to keep things as they are, which is keeping the
masses in the national circle. This prevents movement
to global, which ultimately holds up entering the
galactic circle.
The event that should have moved us from national to
global was the advent of the Internet. Although many
are thinking more globally, most people on this planet
are by far in the global circle, let alone ready for
galactic. Allow me to give an example. If you don't
bat an eye at the saying "God Bless America", you are
still national. Otherwise, we would be saying, "God
Bless Earth." If you still put out an American flag on
the 4th of July, are you thinking globally? Or if you
watched different countries compete during the
Olympics and still cheered for only Americans, are you
global? I cheered for any and all competitors and
wondered if there would ever be a time that each would
be wearing the Olympic flag rather than different
national flags.
Is national negative? Of course not. But, if you are
reading this I trust you are alive at this moment on
this planet, and you asked to be here to move through
these circles to the ultimate goal of returning to
your original self. Then why are most people seemingly
stuck in the national circle? There must be a hold up
for those of us longing for more. A major part of the
delay is from the Beings, Human and otherwise that
have controlled this planet and the consciousness for
thousands of years do not want to let go of their
strong hold. This influence is strong enough to keep
people in a national attitude and for some in a
regional or more narrowly defined attitude.
These controlling Beings have cut themselves off from
Source, and in so doing need energy to survive. This
is where the masses come in. They have been using the
energy from "asleep" people in lieu of reconnecting
with Source. When a person awakens, through
consciousness and awareness, these Beings are no
longer able to take from their energy. In other words,
they are running scared at the prospect that the
masses could wake up and move to the next inner
circle. This would shut off the energy to them.
In addition, there is other evidence we are about to
mark the event that will move us from global to
galactic in spite of the mass consciousness. Several
possible scenarios have been proposed which would mark
this event. The most obvious being a world-wide
announcement that Extraterrestrials have been here all
along with simultaneous sightings of ET spacecraft
"staying visible" in our skies. Keeping this in mind
should shed light on why the powers-that-be will stop
at nothing to suppress information on ETs.
Another piece of evidence, albeit less noticeable even
to the few "awake" people, is that our DNA is
changing. Similar to when we moved as a species from
Cro-Magnon to Human Beings, we are now evolving into
the final chapter of what it is we set out to become.
This represents coming full circle back to our
original selves as Light Beings.
These changes have been documented and are showing up
in children as well as enlightened adults. Some of
most noticeable of these changes are abilities
commonly referred to as "extra-sensory." The more
enlightened you are, the more rapid the changes. Some
less known changes are also occurring, such as super
intelligence. More than likely our ability has
increased to tap into the global consciousness. It is
showing up in ways we often dismiss, stating, "I am
not sure how I know this, but"
Another way super intelligence is revealing itself is
through taking IQ tests. I did this a few months ago
and was surprised to see I scored over 140. This is
considered genius level. I distinctly recall taking an
IQ test in high school and being "barely average."
Just in the last few weeks an "awake" friend noticed
the same thing. She scored over 130. Also, a doctor in
Mount Shasta has been disclosing similar results about
this new DNA. I like to sum it up by saying that these
DNA changes are finally allowing us to tap into the
other 90% of our brain.
We can make this easy or we can do what we have been
doing. The latter being fighting one another, staying
ingrained in patterns, not believing, and going about
each day like none of this matters. How many people do
you know who have given up and gone back to their 3D
jobs or gone back to sleep? I would like to think we
could finally stand up, brush ourselves off, and start
fresh by recognizing that these changes are imminent.
They are happening to those of us who have said, "Yes,
I am ready for a different world. I am ready for
changes. I am ready for what is next."
On the other hand, for those wishing to continue in
the national circle, there is a train at the station
waiting to let you continue on this track. Nothing
wrong with it. It just is not the track I want to be
on. So I think it is about allowing now. Let's allow
those who wish to continue on the choo-choo track
ride, and allow those of us desiring the ride in the
sky be granted our wish. Then one day when the timing
is right, we will all meet at the same station back
home. Until then, inward and upward for those of us
that desire!
Karma means the inevitable law of cause and effect:
what goes around, comes around! As Jesus said, "As ye
sow, so shall ye reap." Our every action should
therefore be offered to God. (Yoga Means union).
Karma Yoga is offering all our work to God, while
constantly repeating the mantra (Om Namaha Shivaya--I
surrender to God). It teaches us to work selflessly
and to serve a higher purpose. Simple physical work is
also a lesson in surrendering and humility, (e.g.
cleaning the ashram toilets!)
Babaji said, "Serving humanity is serving God. The joy
derived form selfless service is inspiring to others
and healing many problems in human relationships.
Working together for an unpersonal purpose is a
training in taking responsibility, and it increases
peace and harmony in the community."

We all know some foods are stimulants and some slow
you down. But have you tried using these foods to
effect your moods?
Getting the Vitamins And Minerals one needs is of the
first concern Most people can get all the vitamins and
minerals they need by eating properly. The B complex
is an extremely important group of nutrients that the
body must acquire through the diet or produce via the
intestinal flora to enable it to transform food into
energy, maintain a strong immune system, balance many
of the body's hormones, and perform
a wide variety of other tasks.
Many things can contribute to vitamin B deficiencies.
Eating Junk foods and bread products high in sugar and
white refined flour processed foods (lack nutrients
and may contain many additives also fills one up and
leaves no room for healthy foods. ), conventionally
grown produce (are sprayed with pesticides and stored
for such long
lengths of time they lack nutrients by the time we buy
them.), Using alcohol (more than two drinks a day can
deplete B vitamins.), living a high stress lifestyle,
environmental pollution, inadequate digestion,
malnutrition, illness, and a vegetarian or vegan diet
can all contribute.
Due to the fact that a good percentage of the U.S.
population consumes vitamin-deficient foods raised in
vitamin deficient soils along with a combination of
one or more of the aforementioned problems, vitamin B
deficiencies have become commonplace. Some of the
problems one experiences with deficiencies are: mild
to severe depression, forgetfulness, vague fear,
uneasiness to panic ,mood swings, loss of ability to
concentrate, fatigue, insomnia or sleep disturbances.
The richest food sources of B-1 are brewers or
nutritional yeast, brown rice, egg yolks, fish,
legumes, liver, nuts, peas, poultry, rice bran, dulse,
kelp, spirulina, wheat germ and whole grains. A high
carbohydrate diet will increase the need for thiamin
and the use of antibiotics, sulfa drugs, and oral
contraceptives may decrease the body's thiamin level.
The foods providing the highest levels of B-2 are
brewer's or nutritional yeast, almonds, wheat germ,
wild rice, egg yolks, legumes, liver, fish, and
poultry. Niacin is found in brewers or nutritional
yeast, liver, broccoli, carrots, cheese, eggs, fish,
raw milk, peanuts, potatoes, tomatoes, dandelion
greens, and wheat germ.
Most fresh vegetables are good sources for B-5.
Brewer's and nutritional yeast, liver, eggs,
mushrooms, avocados, broccoli, whole grains, bran,
peanuts, cashews, legumes, and soybeans are especially
high in B-5. Most foods contain some B-6 but those
that are the best sources include brewers or
nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds, wheat germ,
walnuts, carrots, legumes, soybeans, chicken, eggs,
fish, organ meats, spinach, blackstrap molasses, and
whole grains.
The largest amounts of B-12 are found in nutritional
yeast, liver, clams, eggs, meats, fish, and dairy
products. Some B-12 is available from sea vegetables
such as dulse, kelp, kombu, and nori.
Good sources for biotin are nutritional yeast,
soybeans, whole grains, egg yolks, milk, meat,
poultry, and saltwater fish. Choline is a major
ingredient in lecithin and lecithin makes up about 30%
of the dry weight of the brain. Lecithin provides
other important nutrients including phospholipids,
fats, and glycolipids. Choline is also found in egg
yolks, green leafy vegetables, liver, soybeans, yeast,
and wheat germ. The best supplemental source is
phosphatidyl choline. All dark leafy greens (the
foliage that folic acid is named after) are good food
sources of folic acid. These include kale, spinach,
beet greens, and chard. Other sources are nutritional
yeast, rice germ, wheat germ, blackeye peas, beans and
lentils, asparagus, liver, soybeans, wheat bran, and
walnuts.
Inositol Whole grains, nutritional yeast, lecithin,
citrus fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, unrefined
molasses, meats, and dairy.
By just reading through the list above to discover
what food sources we can get Vitamin B complex from
one can see that they do not include what is generally
eaten in the American diet. Add factors like depleted
soil, high stress life styles and one can see how
deficiencies have become commonplace. Just popping B
complex pills does not cure the problem. Only changing
the way we eat can do that.
One of the reasons I personally was convinced to
include these foods in my diet besides feeling really
good when I did was that the B complex vitamins curb
food cravings. I also raised a small garden without
pesticides this year. I do not drink alcohol and I
have looked at ways to reduce stress. Huge dietary
changes do not work for most of us but changing one or
two things in your diet each month adds up and can
make you feel a whole lot better. Try small changes
like putting spinach on sandwiches instead of lettuce,
replace your salad greens/put in things like kale,
swiss chard, other dark green vegetable, try adding
asparagus to a salad. Eat a handful of soy nuts,
sunflower seeds, almonds, or walnuts as a snack. Eat
fresh fruit for an evening snack instead of having a
Big Mac attack.

DANCING WITH DEATH THRU SENILITY INTO ETERNALITY
by
Young Toni Delgado
What will we be able to teach our children and our
grandchildren when we learn to conquer old age and
death? What will be the focus in our lives when
death
the inevitability of death no longer sucks us
dry with fear? What will the earth be like when our
awareness raises us to a new level of understanding
and our bodies respond in kind?
We have been conditioned to believe that senility is a
frightful place because we believe it is the end of
our productivity as a being. We believe it is the
experience that precedes death and we are loathesome
to it. Senility can come to an individual at any time
in their lives. It does not just occur to the elderly.
It can happen in your thirties or younger.
What is important to know is that it absolutely can be
overcome! I have done it! Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray
and others have done it. Leonard says that senility is
the final exam of the human condition. That sounds and
feels right. You must however, have the tools and
psychological preparation to outlast it. Read my book
and learn how.
