"The foundation of peace is compassion"
Peace [is] not just absence of violence, but peace is something full. Peace means, I think, any action [made] out of compassion, out of sense of concern, out of respect [for] others' rights; that is peace. So in the promotion of peace we have to create a foundation of peace: that is human compassion.

“The whole world is one body"
Then look [at] humanity as a whole. Now today the reality - whole world almost like one body. One thing happen some other distant place - the repercussion reach your own place. And particularly in the field of modern economy and environmental issues - our world is just one -- one body. So we have to look all parts of the world all parts of the humanity is part of your life - your self.

"Religious harmony is essential"
Now the practice of love, compassion, forgiveness, contentment -- these things, something very useful, something very important for a happy life. On this subject, if you look, all the various religious traditions all talks about these things the same way, all carry the same message -- the message of love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment, self-discipline. So all these religions teach us these values. So all major religions have the same potential to make better human beings, happier human being. So under those circumstances, the harmony among the different traditions is very, very essential.

"The concept of war is outdated"
Now the practice of love, compassion, forgiveness, contentment -- these things, something very useful, something very important for a happy life. On this subject, if you look, all the various religious traditions all talks about these things the same way, all carry the same message -- the message of love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment, self-discipline. So all these religions teach us these values. So all major religions have the same potential to make better human beings, happier human being. So under those circumstances, the harmony among the different traditions is very very essential.

INTENT

“In the universe, there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which Shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link.“

THE TABLECLOTH
if this truly is a true story, then it’s a good one / shared by Darag

The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.

They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc., and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished.

On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days.

On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high.

The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home.

On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.

By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus.. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later.

She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area.

Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet.. "Pastor," she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria.

The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten the Tablecloth. The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria. When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home again.

The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home, that was the least he could do.. She lived on the other side of Staten Islandand was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.

What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return.

One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving.

The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike.

He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison.. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years in between.

The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier.

He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.

UNDERSTANDING THE INDIGO CHILD
(a channeled vignette)
CtrOfLight@aol.com

The current generation of children being born today are different from previous generations. These children are called Indigos ... also known by the Native Americans as the Children of the Sun and by some as the Millennium Children. Up to 90% of all children under age 15 are Indigo children.

This is the second mass attempt of these children being incarnated on Earth. The first mass attempt came in the early 60's ... sort of the "scouts" or "forerunners" who came to test the waters, so to speak. These children were those who came to be known as the "Flower Children" or "Moon Children" ... also labeled "Hippies". Since their coming was not accepted by the collective consciousness, they experienced a hostile environment of "not being wanted". This non-acceptance was based on the abnormal behavior perceived by society through the actions, dress, hair, and general make-up chosen by the Indigo. As a result of this non-acceptance, the majority of these Indigos turned to drugs and have since left the Earth plane. For the most part, those that remained have been able to survive by wearing different masks to hide who they truly are. However, as a result of them harboring within them this deeply buried conflict, these souls have lived with much pain throughout the years.

The name Indigo relates to the color they carry in their auras and is indicative of the Third Eye Chakra, which represents intuition and psychic ability. They are natural healers and seem to be attracted and attuned to Reiki energy. Indigos coming into today's world still have difficult challenges to overcome. Their extreme levels of sensitivity to vibrations other than love are hard to understand and appreciate by parents who don't share this trait. The Indigo child experiences a thinner "veil" or separation between the physical world and the spirit worlds, and are readily able to access information through an inner knowing that most of you are unfamiliar with. It is this thinner veil which allows them a sense of knowing who they really are that causes most of their behaviors.

While they are very intelligent and creative, their rebellious nature to authority and systems in general which they view as not being for their greatest good that cause them to be mis-judged, if you will. As a result, they are often mis-labeled with ADD and may be in need of alternative therapies to handle this behavior. Some children who have autism are also Indigo children who have been mis-diagnosed, but many are found to be helped through spiritual counseling and various energy therapies such as Reiki, Quigong , and Tai Chi, among others.

Indigos are often found to be physically sensitive and extremely emotionally sensitive. Unlike some of those older Indigos who have become callous after years of emotional abuse, the Indigo child is usually found to be very empathic and caring. Because of their sensitivities, Indigos may have extreme rage that needs a safe acceptable outlet and counseling. Indigos may experience existential depression at young ages if they do not remember why they are here or are denied any feeling that they can help to improve the world.

Their non-conformity to systems and to today's out-moded teaching methods may present a discipline problem that will make it difficult to get through their childhood years and perhaps even their adult years, if not understood by parents and loved ones. However, it is also what will help them accomplish big goals . Being an Indigo isn't easy, but it foretells a mission. They have a strong connection to all humanity and have a mission on Earth to help to bring the planet closer to love consciousness and into the 5th dimensional realm of the Absolute. The Indigo Children are the ones who have come to raise the vibration of your planet! These are the primary ones who will bring you the enlightenment to ascend into the Christ Consciousness.

It is the Indigo children who have brought in the new energy that will help you through the Age of Empowerment and times of cleansing and tribulation ... to help you learn to live with each other in Love and greater harmony. They are here to enlighten the world and bring you to ascend into the 5th dimension whether you are ready or not. Who better to lead you to new ways of behaving, thinking, and feeling than the children who are already behaving, thinking and feeling differently?

The most common traits of Indigo children:

-They come into the world with a feeling of royalty.

-They have a feeling of "deserving to be here".

-They come knowing who they really are and self-worth is not an issue. They also are not shy of telling parents "who they are".

-They have difficulty with absolute authority.

-They simply will not do certain things without being given a choice.

-They see better ways of doing things at home and at school, which makes them the "system busters" that they are often called.

-They may seem anti-social unless they are with their own kind. School can often be difficult for them socially ... especially in the early grades or until they meet others who are like them or who appreciate their genius.

-They will not respond to “guilt” discipline.

-They are not shy in letting anyone know what they need.

-They love nature and animals; especially domestic dogs and cats.

They have the ability to be in touch with the worlds beyond this side of the veil. Their thoughts, inspirations, sense of guidance, and knowledge of how to do things comes from a greater realm of being than what you have historically had up until now. It is greater intelligence in the sense that they are aware of more on all levels, including that which you call extra-sensory perception.

They will challenge you, but remember that what you see in them is also inherent in you ... except you may not have yet come into your own God-given powers.

MATTHEW AN EXCERPT FROM 11/17/05

S:
I see. I think this is a good place for this question: “Regarding the great transformation of Earth, what does it mean to be prepared spiritually? To the believer in Christ, it means to have accepted Him as Lord and Savior.”

MATTHEW:
And that is one of the greatest of all the beliefs that will be shattered when the truth about the millennia of deception perpetrated through religions becomes known. The “second coming” and the “raptures” and “salvation” are part of the great lie. Religious beliefs are not the same as spirituality, and in most instances, they haven’t even a nodding acquaintance. One of the greatest challenges ahead is resolving the conflict between the people who do know the truth and those who will resist it to keep their belief foundations intact regardless of their religion.

As for Christianity, the man known as Jesus in the Bible would be the first to tell you how wrong the teaching is, that “accepting him as Lord and Savior” is the way to “salvation,” and he’d also tell you that believing that is not the same as “believing in Christ.” Christ is not a name—it means “being one with God.” The Christed energy, or Christed light, is the highest power in the universe and it is eternally available to all as the “savior” that can keep you from falling into darkness and committing acts considered “ungodly.”

The soul that originated in the Christed realm, which is Creator’s first creation, and incarnated in one lifetime as Jesus also has lived as many other spiritual leaders on Earth and far beyond. The energy of the Christed realm is pure love, and it is this energy that Jesus, all of his soul’s other embodiments, and all other souls of that highest station impart that is “the second coming.” It is not a return of the man who lived in Galilee 2000 years ago. He knew that he was no different from all other souls, that all are parts of God, that all have the same potential to perform the “miracles” ascribed to him, and that all have multiple lifetimes for remembering their godselves and their inseparability from every other soul in this universe.

If Jesus’ true message had been preserved in the Bible instead of being distorted or parts of it eliminated, you would know this in his own words. I feel apologetic for not having done justice here to his full message.

What is being “spiritually prepared”? It is knowing that eternally you are an inseparable part of God and all other souls in the universe; that your godself chose this lifetime, like all of your other lifetimes, so you can experience the fullness of God. It is hearing, trusting and heeding your soul’s messages to your consciousness, those messages I mentioned earlier. It is understanding why we urge you not to judge others—you don’t know their soul contracts—and urge you to send love to all, especially those in darkness, where there is a void of love, of light. It is knowing that wherever you are, you will be safe if your soul contract calls for safety, and knowing that if your soul has completed its mission, you will move forward in spiritual growth.

What about the “good” people who are caring and helpful, generous and fair, and they don’t know what “spiritual preparedness” is? At soul level, everyone does know. The influx of higher vibrations is illuminating all who are soul searching and is touching the minds that are opening. My mother is particularly drawn to two lines at the end of the senders’ emails: “One heart at a time, we are changing our world,” and “Together we are healing our world.” Yes!”

KEYS OF JESHUA
by Glenda Greene

This book is an extraordinary visit with Jeshua…the name he prefers over Jesus. It is the second book Glenda has written over the years she spent in darshan with Jeshua, learning, clarifying misunderstandings and truths.

People had asked her for years to paint a portrait of Jesus, the Christ. She told them,“I’ll paint his picture when he comes to sit for me.” Well he did. And the time she spent with him was remarkable to say the least. Contained within these books is teachings as the scriptures were meant to be written 2000 years ago and we were not ready to hear it then. I trust we are ready now.

Here are a few quotes:

“ Courage is the heartbeat of consciousness and fear, its mortal enemy. What you will not face will elude you or else it will erode or corrupt some part of your life in unsuspecting ways. Consciousness is the light of the soul. Therefore, darkness will avoid it or remain in the shadow of some external light. It takes great courage to be a light in the world and great faith to know that one ray of light may turn a darkened room into one that is safe to enter. I come to the world to empower faith and unleash a new dimension of consciousness not seen before.”
Jeshua

“ Love has one relentless challenge in the Universe. It is inclusive…there are 2 powers generating creation in the Universe: the power of love which is inclusive and the power of physical existence which persists thru exclusion and separation. The soul has the fascinating challenge of witnessing both while selecting, interacting and balancing these options for building a life. Whatever a soul chooses will have a profound effect on its priorities, how it sees itself and how it relates to others….“ Root yourself in love.

THE GREATER THE MASTER THE MORE RIGOROUS HIS TRAINING

Hi Friends!
I think those of us who recognize Babaji as our Teacher can relate to this one!!
Om Namah Shivaya
Love and light,
Marge

Prosveta Publishing is pleased to offer you the Daily Meditation for this 2005-07-10.

"What do disciples usually look for in a Master?
Someone who is all-knowing and all-powerful, who makes their life easy and solves all their problems. Well, they will have to think again; this is not what a Master is there for. A Master is there to teach them and to urge them to improve themselves, and the greater the Master, the more rigorous his teaching. This is a law which is borne out in all spheres of life. The teaching of a brilliant musician or scholar is only within reach of a small number of people, which is why they accept only a very few pupils. You may say that a spiritual Master is neither a musician nor a scholar, and that his love, goodness and generosity embrace all creatures. Yes, this is true, but his love, goodness and generosity will not motivate him to perform for you all the miracles you are expecting. Quite the opposite, he will be exacting, even severe, in order to ceaselessly stimulate you on the path to perfection."

IF YOU CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT

It works! And don’t forget the Star at the top!!

LETTING GO
Author Unknown (A perpetual energy researcher, hopeful of making a creative contribution to planetary renewal.)

Last week I let go of Worrying,
It was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me;
I couldn't do things my way.
I let go of those Inhibitions;
They were just crowding me out.
Made room for my new growth,
Got rid of my old dreams and doubts.
I let go of a book on My Past
(didn't have time to read it anyway)
Replaced it with new goals,
Started reading it today.
I let go of my childhood toys
Remember how I treasured them so?
Got me a new Philosophy too,
Let go of the one from long ago
Brought in some new books too,
Called I Can, I Will, and I Must.
I let go of I might, I think and I ought.
Wow! You should've seen the dust.
I picked up this special thing
And placed it at the front door.
I Found It ... its called Peace
Nothing gets me down anymore.
Yes, I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place
For things like Worry and Trouble
There just isn't any place.
Its good to do a little house cleaning,
Get rid of the old things on the shelf
It sure makes things brighter
Thank you God for cleaning up my-Self.

ADDICTION TO WORRY
by Margaret Paul
www.innerbonding.com

Carole started counseling with me because she was depressed. She had been ill with chronic fatigue syndrome for a long time and believed her depression was due to this. In the course of our work together, she became aware that her depression was actually coming from her negative thinking - Carole was a constant worrier. Many words out of her mouth centered around her concerns that something bad might happen. “What if I never get well?” “What if my husband gets sick?” “What if I run out of money?” (Carole and her husband ran a very successful business and there was no indication that it would not go on being successful). “What if my son gets into drugs?” “What if my kids don’t get into good colleges?” “What if someone breaks into the house?”

Her worry was not only causing her depression, but was also contributing to her illness, if not actually causing it. Her worry caused so much stress in her body that her immune system could not do its job of keeping her well. Yet even the awareness that her worry was causing her depression and possibly even her illness did not stop Carole from worrying. She was addicted to it. She was unconsciously addicted to the sense of control that worry gave her.

I understood this well because I come from a long line of worriers. My grandmother’s whole life was about worrying. She lived with us as I was growing up and I don’t remember ever seeing her without a look of worry on her face. Same with my mother – constant worry. Of course, I picked up on it and also became a worrier. However, unlike my mother and grandmother, who worried daily until the day they died, I decided I didn’t want to live that way. The turning point came for me the day my husband and I were going to the beach and I started to worry that the house would burn down and my children would die. I became so upset from the worry that we had to turn around and come home. I knew then that I had to do something about it.

As I started to examine the cause of worry, I realized that worriers believe that worry will stop bad things from happening. My mother worried her whole life and none of the bad things she worried about ever happened. She concluded that nothing bad happened because she worried! She really believed that she could control things with her worry. My father, however, never worried about anything, and nothing bad ever happened to him either. My mother believed that nothing bad happened to my father because of her worry! She really believed until the day she died (from heart problems that may have been due to her constant worry) that if she stopped worrying, everything would fall apart. My father is still alive at 92, even without her worrying about him!

It is not easy to stop worrying when you have been practicing worrying for most of your life. In order for me to stop worrying, I needed to recognize that the belief that worry has control over outcomes is a complete illusion. I needed to see that, not only is worry a waste of time, but that it can have grave negative consequences on health and well-being. Once I understood this, I was able to notice the stomach clenching that occurred whenever I worried and stop the thought that was causing the stress.

Carole is in the process of learning this. She sees that her worry makes her feel very anxious and depressed. She sees that when she doesn’t worry, she is not nearly as fatigued as when she allows her addiction to worry to take over. She sees that when she stays in the moment rather than projecting into the future, she feels much better. The key for Carole in stopping worrying is in accepting that worry does not give her control.

Giving up the illusion of control that worry gives us not easy for anyone who worries. Yet there is an interesting paradox regarding worry. I have found that when I am in the present moment, I have a much better chance of making choices that support my highest good than when I’m stuck thinking about the future. Rather than giving us control, worry prevents us from being present enough to make loving choices for ourselves and others. Worrying actually ends up giving us less control rather than more!

THE POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS
by Jon Gordon
jon@jongordon.com

The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their life by altering their attitudes.
--William James

Tell me what you think about and I'll tell you about your life. Emerson had it right when he said, "A man is what he thinks about all day long." Our thoughts are that powerful. They determine how we see ourselves, how we view others and how we see the world. Thoughts can imprison us in fear and doubt or liberate us from pain and suffering. They can make life a magical existence or a living nightmare. Our perception truly determines our reality. We often think that we describe the world we se but in reality we see the world we describe. Consider two people delayed for the same flight. One person thinks of this as an inconvenience that always happens to them and sees the delay as a major problem. The other person decides that this is a great opportunity to relax, unwind and catch up on some work. Same delay, two different people with two different perceptions and two very different realities. The power to change our life, therefore, begins by changing our thoughts.

Below I have identified common negative thought patterns accompanied by a POWER THOUGHT. Read each sentence and see for yourself how power thoughts empower you and negative thoughts weaken you.

Negative Thought: This is not the life I imagined for myself. Nothing ever goes right.
POWER THOUGHT: I accept all the great things in my life. I attract abundance, success and happiness.

Negative Thought: There's just not enough time in the day.
POWER THOUGHT: There's always enough time to do the important things I need to do.

Negative Thought: People are really annoying. They're always stressing me out.
POWER THOUGHT: Everyone is a teacher helping me to be more patient, positive and kind. I'm the one who determines my stress level.

Negative Thought: I'll never advance in my company. I just can't grow here.
POWER THOUGHT: I'll work hard, prepare, stay positive and new opportunities will come my way when the time is right. I expect great things to happen.

Action Steps

1. Now write down your common negative thoughts.

2. Then write down a POWER THOUGHT to replace it.

3. If you need help with creating a POWER THOUGHT email me your negative thought to jon@jongordon.com and I'll email you a POWER THOUGHT.

4. Pay attention to your thoughts and words. When you notice they are negative, replace them with a POWER THOUGHT.

5. Change your thinking and you will see your life change. Sending Positive Energy Your Way,

- Jon

BREATHING EXERCISE FOR TENSE NECK
from Dennis Lewis
"FREE YOUR BREATH, FREE YOUR LIFE"

Many people today spend long hours sitting at desks in front of their computers. "A tense or stiff neck will cause restrictions in your breathing. If your neck is particularly tense or stiff, try this exercise. Lock your hands (interwoven fingers) behind your head. Keep your head perfectly straight in space as you simultaneously apply equal pressure (don’t strain) in opposite directions from your hands and your head. In other words, your locked hands and head push against each other while your head remains motionless. At the same time, have the sense that you are breathing into and out of your belly in a very relaxed and comfortable way. This will help keep your breathing from centering itself in your upper chest. You can do this exercise for up to three minutes at a time. When you finish, pay particular attention to the warmth in your belly and the surge of energy in your head and brain." (page 170)

8 WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD
http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2005/396.html
April 8, 2005

1. Everything - people, places, and situations - has something to say. Really listening, without interrupting or letting your attention wander, is the simplest way to learn and understand the needs of other people and of the world.

2. Volunteer your time or donate your money to a cause that touches your heart. Read to an elderly patient or buy new books for a veterans' home. Work at a soup kitchen or send a gift of food. No matter how big or small, your contribution will positively affect many people.

3. Embrace nature and beautify the world for others. To lift people's spirit, keep your garden bright, or plant and maintain flowers in a public area. Plant and donate a tree in somebody's name in your local park. As a gift to wild animals, make your yard animal friendly with dense hedges and by using natural pesticides.

4. Your energy affects others so choose to be a beacon of light. Project goodness, happiness, and peace outward through your home, neighborhood, country, and, finally the world. The effects are felt for thousands of miles.

5. Smile and the world smiles with you. When you catch a stranger's eye, flash a bright smile, even if you aren't feeling quite that happy. Your stranger may be confused, but their day (and yours) will be brighter.

6. Animals feel a lack of love as acutely as humans. Adopt a pet from your local shelter rather than purchasing one from a pet store. If your life can't include a pet, spend an afternoon volunteering at the animal shelter giving the animals some much-needed love.

7. Help improve someone's self-esteem or simply show them you care. Give a compliment, send a friendly letter, or tell someone you were thinking about them. Make an effort to keep in touch with long-time acquaintances and to develop new friendships.

8. Be a role model. Rather than asking others to alter themselves, change your own outlook and behavior. A role model can be a source of inspiration, hope, and self-respect. Or actively take on the responsibilities of a role model and reach out to children in need of guidance or an adult in need of a friend.

WHAT DO WE REALLY NEED?

It is the clinging to the false that makes the true so difficult to see. Once you understand that the false needs time and what needs time is false, you are nearer the Reality, which is timeless, ever in the now. Eternity in time is mere repetitiveness, like the movement of a clock. It flows from the past into the future endlessly, as empty perpetuity. Reality is what makes the present so vital, so different from the past and future, which are merely mental. If you need time to achieve something, it must be false. The real is always with you; You Need Not Wait To Be What You Are. Only you must not allow your mind to go out of yourself in search. When you want something, ask yourself: do I really need it? and if the answer is not, then just drop it.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj

CAYENNE (CAPSICUM): HEALER AND PREVENTIVE

Cayenne is found in all chiles. Here in New Mexico hot green chili (chile verde) is our favorite. This is a great food with lots of vitamin C and anti-carcinogens.

Dr. Richard Schulze touts cayenne as being one of the finest healer and preventive herbs. Dr. Schulze, a great student of Dr. John Christopher and Dr. Bernard Jensen, has taken the formulas of these great herbalists and upgraded them to accommodate our growing need to stay ahead of the toxic soup we live in.

Cayenne is not only in almost all of Dr. Schulze’s formulas, he never leaves home without it…it is always in one of his pockets no matter where he is. He even uses it in his eye tincture…and folks actually see better when they use the eyebright formula.

Dr. Schulze has saved many lives in his use and recommendation of cayenne. He brought back to life from a cardiac arrest one of his elderly patients who had died in his car in Dr. Schulze’s parking lot coming to see him. When the paramedics arrived, they wondered how Dr. Schulze was able to revive this man without a fribrillator. Such is the power of cayenne.

Dr. Schulze tells of another patient in Europe who had a tumor the size of a grapefruit growing in his brain. He would not do Schulze’s regimen, but he did do massive amounts of cayenne daily and eliminated the tumor. That’s right…the tumor went away!

Here are a few of Cayennes many uses.
Influences digestive secretions/ Increases circulation/ Wards off dis-eases/ For weight loss/ Improve immune system/ Prevents strokes and heart attacks/ Arrests bleeding- hemorrhaging (external and internal)/ Heals ulcers/ Best and purest stimulant in herb kingdom/ Heals ulcerative stomach/ Increases heart action without increasing blood pressure/ Increases power of all other herbs/ Quickly knocks out colds and flu/ Improves ratio of HDL cholesterol/ Significantly lowers serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides/ Decreases fat deposits in liver/ Helps stop addiction to alcohol/ Useful for toothaches/ Arrests arthritic pain/ Place on tongue for crisis situations-shock, hemorrhage, heart attack/ Sprinkle in socks to prevent frostbite/ (The Little Herb encyclopedia by Jack Ritchason, N.D., 1995)

The cayenne found in most grocery stores and health food stores is too mild to create the healing opportunity we have available to us Many herb companies sell Cayenne in Heat Units (or Habanero or Scoville Heat Units) of over 100,000. This is what you want. 135,000 and 150,000 heat units is great. Don’t be afraid to go even higher. Dr. Schulze often uses cayenne in the 250,000-400.000 arena.

Cayenne may feel hot on your tongue or skin, but it WILL NOT BURN you. It will HEAL you. Cayenne can heal and eradicate all sorts of dis-eases---even SENILITY, heart dis-ease, cancer and every ugly dis-ease you know of. I took 7-8 tsps of cayenne daily when I went into senility and eradicated it. (Young Toni Delgado)

Start small…with a pinch in water. Gradually take in more until you are taking ½ tsp to 1 tsp. several times a day. Add a little maple syrup to make it more palatable if you like. Dr. Schulze took many Tablespoons a day of cayenne to heal his heart condition which would have killed him before age 20, had he not consumed the cayenne and followed a health regimen.

IONICARE TOOTHBRUSH
testimonial from our distributor

"HI K & T-
Your telepaphone must have been ringing, because I was going to write to you today. I just returned from an event in Mexico where I sold 400 brushes in two days. Here is a testimonial I got from someone who bought one there:

"For a few years, I have had a gum infection-- I avoid eating meat, because of the pain. I continue visiting the dentist every three months, but I still had the pain in my gums, especially when I woke up in the morning.

When I heard about the brush yesterday, I purchased it and used it as instructed last night. This morning I had no pain, and today have even been able to eat meat. The brush is simple-- but it works!"
A.N., New Mexico

This was a very quick and surprising result. There were also several dentists there who purchased brushes and are testing them now.

When I'm at a meeting of any sort I always put out just two or three brushes in a holder or glass, along with a copy of the information sheet about how they work. That is all the advertising I do. People always stop, ask, read, and buy. I keep a bag of brushes under the table (mixed colors), and let people pick out the ones they want. If they ask about packaging, I simply say that individual boxes would make it harder for me to carry them in quantity, but that if they just rinse the brush in cold water after use and let it stand, it will disinfect itself in less than a minute. Very simple.

My cousin in Los Angeles is a chiropractor and homeopathic physician, and she is very impressed with the brush. She pointed out to me that, for her at least, one remarkable factor is that the brush never emits an odor, even after it has been used for months without toothpaste. This is further evidence of its self-sterilizing action.”

DANCING WITH DEATH THRU SENILITY INTO ETERNALITY
by Young Toni Delgado

When was the last time you went to a nursing home? Do you have relations or friends in a residential home for Alzheimer folks? Many of us know what visiting these places is like. Even in the most cared for establishments, visiting is a challenge for us. We don’t want to think about putting our loved ones in such places, but many of us don’t want the responsibility of caring for them either.

What would you want for your self? What would you want your family to do for you? Will you wind up in one of these places? Or are you willing to challenge the pre-conditioned programs and patterns of you geneology? Are you willing to do something different to ensure a full life with a clear, alert mind? The choice is really yours. What do you choose? This is a decision to be made now. Don’t wait until it is too late.

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.
