Spontaneous Evolution: An interview with Bruce Lipton

Spontaneous Evolution

 An interview with Bruce Lipton

Bruce Lipton is the best-selling author of The Biology of Belief and co-author with Steve Bhaerman of the newly released, Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and How to Get There from Here. After receiving a PhD degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville in the early 1950s, he embarked on a career as a developmental biologist and paradigm-shifting medical researcher that has spanned more than four decades.

Dr. Lipton, maybe we should start with the basics. As a global community, we’ve gotten ourselves into “this fine mess” through poor choices and irresponsible actions. What shapes our behaviour?

Human behaviour is the consequence of a large, collective number of personal individual beliefs. The more people who share the exact same beliefs, the more they manifest an energy field which then precipitates a complementary physical field. The way that we’re living and the beliefs that we entertain collectively are materializing as an expression.

The way we’re living today, only five per cent of our lives is controlled by the conscious mind—the seat of desires and aspirations. That means 95 per cent of our lives is controlled automatically by the “default,” which is subconscious programming, and which is primarily downloaded from observing other people’s behaviour. Whatever our parents, family and teachers said to us, like “you’re not loveable, you’re not smart enough, you’re not good enough, you can do better, you don’t deserve anything—that all becomes part of our subconscious mind’s programming. Then, by definition, 95 per cent of the time we’re unconsciously operating from subconscious mind and, in that state, unaware that we’re manifesting the consequences of programs acquired from other people.

On a conventional day we’re five per cent conscious of our behaviours and moving towards where we want to go, and 95 per cent unconscious and moving towards wherever the program derived from others say we’re supposed to go. The Jesuits knew this 500 years ago. They would say, give me a child and I’ll show you the man. They also said, give me a child until it’s six or seven and it’ll belong to the church for the rest of its life. Which means, give me your first six years and I own the rest of your life. Why? Because you’re going to be operating from the subconscious programs we download into your mind for most of your life. This is how we become cultivated, cultured, encultured and enslaved.

If it’s collective thinking that’s affecting the future of the planet, who or what is doing such large scale, destructive programming?

Our behaviour is based on our beliefs, and our beliefs reflect beliefs we acquire from institutions like academia, religion, politics, the economy and health care. These institutionalized beliefs have shaped and held the world’s current mass thinking. Originally, the current beliefs were very useful in helping civilization evolve; however, our continued use of these beliefs is now detrimental and leading us to extinction. The crisis the world now faces is evidence that these beliefs are profoundly flawed.

Since the 1870s we’ve lived in a world where we seek truth through science. When we ask, “Is it true?” we’re really asking, “Is it scientific?”  When opinion is handed down from science, we buy it as “truth.” However, frontier science has recently challenged the fundamental “truths” of conventional science, truths that represent the foundation of today’s beliefs. Though science is changing its truth, the public is unaware of this new knowledge. Simply, we’re living by truths that are no longer valid.

“Belief” is a concept that we most often associate with religion. How does religion fit into this picture?

The role of “belief” in our lives isn’t new stuff—it’s ancient. I’m not a religious person, especially because I think that in part, the institution of religion has led to many of the problems that we currently face. But if you just listen to some of the words attributed directly to Jesus, not particularly other people’s interpretations of them, he offered, “You can heal your life with your belief. You can do all the miracles I can do, but you don’t believe.” This wisdom in light of the “new” biology is absolutely true.

There are fundamentalist Christians in the south who do something mind-blowing and profound—in testifying that God protects them, they drink strychnine poison in toxic doses. And nothing happens to them. That’s kind of miraculous, isn’t it? Other people walk across hot coals. If they fully believe they can, they’re not going to get burned. Questioning that belief in the middle of the walk leads to burns and blisters. In other words, the fundamental truth is that we’re not victims, we’re creators and it’s all based on our beliefs.

You wrote that, “The new biological imperative for humankind necessarily involves the understanding that we’re all in this together and survival of the fittest must now give way to ‘thrival of the fittingest.’”

The current model of life and science is flawed. The Darwinian concept, which is a fundamental cultural belief in our civilization, is that life is a struggle for existence and competition for fitness is the primary drive. If we build a culture based on competition where does it lead? It basically leads to war. That’s a perception of a belief that’s been enculturated and expressed as a competitive world where we say in effect, “Screw the other person.” But the fact is that real evolution isn’t based on that principle. It’s based on completely the opposite—on cooperation. Our fate is linked to how well we cooperate with Mother Nature. If we wonder why the competitive model is not working, it’s because evolutionally it’s the pathway to death; it’s completely contrary to the way evolution actually works.

Ultimately what it all comes down to is that we have to recognize and own our responsibility in creating today’s world, because it’s our thoughts that are manifesting this reality. We must also recognize that 95 per cent of the time we’re unconsciously and invisibly manifesting our experiences based on the behaviours downloaded into our subconscious minds.

It sounds a little like a good news-bad news scenario. The good news is that thoughts create and the bad news is that thoughts create. The Universe just says yes, it doesn’t care what we put out there.

True. The fundamental programs, beliefs and attitudes which affect how you’re going to shape your life were primarily programmed into your subconscious by other people. Even though they’re not necessarily correct or life-supporting, they still manifest as reality.

Our institutions are perpetuating old, flawed beliefs which are provoking the extinction that we’re facing. Civilizations end and new ones begin when cultural beliefs fundamentally change. In the previous civilization, where we acquired our beliefs from the church, morality was a fundamental drive underlining cultural beliefs. When we entered our current phase of civilization, referred to as “scientific materialism,” morality was left behind. Science doesn’t dictate morality; science just defines how nature works. Science emphasizes the “ends” but not the “means” to get to those ends. If we try to perceive morality in the theory of Charles Darwin, then we end up in the deep trouble we now face.

Because this balance between a spiritual understanding of the world and a physical understanding of the world has shifted so much, how important is it that we balance our physical and spiritual lives? Where does that fit into this bigger picture?

In the world before scientific materialism, when civilization was controlled by the church, Western civilization believed something like this: I’ve got my physical life now and my invisible, spiritual life is a future after death. When science took over, the Newtonian emphasis on the physical reality left us with the belief in a physical existence, but challenged the belief in a spiritual afterlife. Then quantum physics changed the game. Rather than a physical emphasis, the new science recognizes that the universe is made out of a “shaping” energy called the field: invisible moving forces that shape the physical world. Interestingly, the definition of spirit is invisible moving forces that shape the physical world.

Quantum physics reveals that both matter and energy exists, and they’re both the same thing! The original quantum physicists in the 1930s recognized that the universe was immaterial and it was based on human consciousness. Simply, it’s through our consciousness that we manifest the world we experience. While most people would perceive life on Earth as being more akin to purgatory or even hell, the truth is we’re living in heaven, a place where we can create our dearest wishes. I’m sure most people would say, “I wouldn’t create this mess on Earth.” And I would agree with them, but, as mentioned, we’re only consciously creating our world five per cent of the time. The rest of our creation efforts are shaped by our subconscious programming, using beliefs that are actually controlled by other people’s beliefs.

What if you were creating your life strictly from conscious wishes and desires? You actually did that if you ever fell head over heels in love. The period called the “honeymoon” wherein you created heaven on Earth, is a reflection of your creative abilities and, as recognized by science, was due to you operating nearly 100 per cent of the time using your conscious mind and not defaulting to the subconscious programs.
 

There seems to be so much fear out there right now. The 2012 end-of-the-world predictions haven’t helped that. Do we have a reason to fear for the future of humankind?

Most people are in total apprehension right now. What they’re feeling is that civilization isn’t working and our survival is in question. It’s interesting because that feeling starts way below our level of consciousness. It reflects the activity of what’s called the Biological Imperative, the drive that all living things have, not just humans. One of the fundamental drives, of course, is survival. Our biological system is designed to read when survival is in question. The problem is that the imperative is an unconscious drive. People are feeling something individually and collectively and don’t recognize it’s part of the energy of a field that is in change. Operating from current beliefs, we’ve come to the realization that civilization is unsustainable, and our imperative is giving us warning.

As Einstein said, “We cannot solve the problems with the same thinking that created them.” The failing of today’s institutions is necessary because their beliefs have directly led us to this time of crisis. The failing of the institutions is necessary to allow new, sustainable thinking to enter our world. But rather than prompting fear, I see the radical changes before us as the necessary step for our survival and our evolution.

You’ve said that you think there’s mounting scientific evidence that points to an imminent, major evolutionary shift for the human species. What evidence is that? Are we looking at evolution or extinction?

Yes, I realize that science has verified that we’re going extinct, that we’re heading toward the planet’s sixth mass extinction. In fact science has compared the rates of species extinction today with the mass extinctions events in the past. We’re losing species faster today than in previous extinction events. For example, it’s estimated that in 30 years the fish will be fished out of the ocean. The idea of a planet Earth 30 years from now with no fish in the ocean seems like science fiction, but no, if we continue decimating the fish population and destroying the ocean’s ecosystems process, the end is evident and imminent.

Our evolution and survival are based on the existence of a supportive environment. When we alter the environment too much and knock out species necessary in the chain of life, human survival is truly in question. The sixth mass extinction is a scientific reality and the conclusion of science is that it’s due to human behaviour. We have to stop ignoring the future because it’s not that far away anymore. If you or your children are planning to be around in 20 more years, you’re likely to see a major environmental catastrophe. Yet, if we wake up NOW, there’s still time to make a positive impact and help avert what appears to be an inevitable crash.

In your new book, you wrote that, “We are currently in dire need of evolutionary advancement and don’t have time for a slow, gradual evolution.” What does “spontaneous” evolution look like?

Human civilization is coming to a fork in the road and if we don’t make the right choices, our destination may end here. If we make the appropriate changes, jumping out of a belief system that is self-destructive and move into a belief system that is self and nature supporting, we can make a big impact and change destiny by creating one great community of human beings called Humanity. We really must step out of our current reality—out of this self-destructive manifestation—and entertain the creation of a new, healthy, harmonious reality. We’re collectively creating a world, so if we collectively envision a different world, then we collectively experience a different world. The spontaneous part is that as soon as the consciousness changes—at that very moment—Earth changes occur as well.

The Missing Link between the Physical and Spiritual

The Missing Link between the Physical and Spiritual:

How the British Colonialist Deliberately Sabotaged Yoga

by Simon Hollington

Human evolution was never meant to be left to chance. The means to work with one’s own biochemistry in order to alter negative health and emotional patterns, by altering your own DNA, is central to the tantric alchemical tradition and the missing link to evolution through yoga.

Notwithstanding all the New Age unscientific speculation, we are obviously at a point of fast-forward evolution where choices matter. As we move into The Age of Aquarius, with its oceanic symbology suggestive of unity, as opposed to the separating Piscean symbol of two fish swimming in opposite directions, there is an implied need and yearning for Yoga to rediscover the alchemical tradition and take us deeper into a unifying potential.

It might not be going too far to say that yoga as practiced in the west is not yoga but simply exercise, and rather stuck in the comfort zone, or even in denial, with the expectation that a few hours a week on the mat somehow induces spiritual development.

Personally, I feel fortunate to have met a teacher, who the Tibetans named Tubten Gawa, the ‘giver away of secrets’, a.k.a. John Burke, a tantric alchemist based in the remote Australian bush of north coast of New South Wales. In John Burke’s gypsy tradition, the deepest possible connection and potential to evolve ourselves begins at a cellular level in our elemental essence, the biochemical intention for which asanas like trikonasana were specifically created, and yet is missing within the modern practice of yoga. One of the reasons for this is that the British Raj purged yoga of its so-called secret teachings, much in the same way as the power-centric clergy of the great religions hid from view the secrets of evolution through the physical body and the power of the individual to alter their own DNA and take control their lives.

This missing link between the asana and spiritual evolution is often stated as being the means of stilling the mind, thus enabling the practitioner to sit comfortably in meditation, which is fine, unless, like me, you have not quite been able to take the cosmic leap between the physical and the spiritual. Likewise, the great sage Patanjali’s eight-fold path, while venerable, seems to be a bit of a tease, like a skilled lover holding back, and yet somehow urging us to unlock the secrets of the oral tradition(s) ourselves. The same applies to all of the diluted religious belief systems.

Rather than simply being a stretching and health-giving exercise routine, Salute to the Sun is calibrated to work with our biochemistry, the purpose being pro-active and scientific self-evolution. The movements within the sequence are designed to work with our essential essences, adjusting to the seasons, working on the organs in relation to the elements: part of an interlocking system that is not linear and, as an oral multi-layered tradition, hardly lends itself to a written explanation.

As we go into winter, the stretch in Surya Namaskar changes to work the kidney meridian, the water element. But there is more, an even deeper level of our selves, which offers a means of working on our genetic evolution. In the tantric alchemical tradition, all levels are operative, from the macro to the micro, to the point of reprogramming our DNA. The tantric alchemists de-mystify mysticism with biochemistry, and John Burke’s role has been that of synthesizing and harmonizing the (chemical) traditions which pre-date religious dilution. The Pope himself carries a crosier inset with a pine cone, but does he know that this is representative of the pineal gland where consciousness has the potential to expand with the yogic transference of an activated hormone, or is this simply a powerful symbol of a forgotten science?

The ancient tantrics discovered that if you were to distil a human being, when all else had dissolved, what is left are three basic essences—alcohols, oils and salts. These are the biochemical tools of the alchemical tradition, of yoga itself, where evolution is changed from random to pro-active. While we make our own conditioned associations with these words, they contain a much broader spectrum of refinement than can be conveyed this brief overview.

There are twelve cell salts which relate directly to the twelve original planets: salt is the physical vehicle for the body and holds the paradigm of our ancestral heritage as well as the mores of the tribe. Within the chakras, in the crystalline matrix, are the siddhis, latent powers regarded as impossible by rationalist, and yet, for example, by understanding the power of pheromone, and the nature of Song or Lay Lines, the acupuncture lines of the earth are no less miraculous than the mobile phone—and offer the potential for positive change by resetting paradigms of the electromagnetic consciousness grid, i.e. the group consciousness view of the future.

Shakti is metaphorically a mysterious snake-like energy, but in fact an organic alcohol which, when activated, gives rise to a tingling and cloud-like ‘drunken bliss,’ providing the means to wash out disease and dissolve unwanted paradigms, preparing the way for our expansion. Oils are lubricants for the joints, and when refined by the grey matter of the autonomic system, evolve into hormones—Kundalini in movement which translates, at one level, into health and longevity: however, as always, there is yet another layer.

The gonads provide the most powerfully refined hormones which, when enhanced through Yoga, have the authority to evolve through the sexual practices, whereby spermatozoa are transferred into the seminal vessels at the point of orgasm through the isolation and contraction of the perineum. Through internal Yoga, the growth hormone is given the incentive to rise to the pituitary gland, the literal third eye, and a door to the expansion of consciousness, laterally into the pineal gland. It is this sexual practice that has been seized upon and much altered by the neo-tantrics both east and west. Tantra, to be tantra, must have the yin and yang of wholeism — separation or segmentation leaves us aloof from the quest and exposed to egoic exploitation.

This quest begins very simply when the body (autonomically) removes the oils salts and alcohols from our food—refining and recalibrating—before distributing them around the body. How does it know how to do this? For those of us who live in our heads, this is a good question to ask, especially in reference to the overblown ego referred to above.

For the tantric alchemist, everything has an explanation at chemical level, even consciousness itself. Hormones, organic oils, stored in the thymus, make their way up to the pituitary gland. As they evaporate and are stripped by hydrogen ions, the resulting electrical impulses ignite within the polarity of the gland, like some sort of cosmic spark plug ignite, coming together within grey matter. This is consciousness! Here is the thing though: if there is enough growth hormone left over, it will open up areas of the brain, and through the holographic door of the pineal gland can eventually make the leap to super-consciousness, when you become one with the consciousness of the planet, and this is really the essential point of evolutionary experience for which Yoga and particularly asanas were created.

Nirvana itself is comprehensible through chemistry, just like emotions and our subconscious traits, contained and held for generations in crystalline structures. Does that sound cold and scientific? Maybe, but it is also a relief to those of us who might have felt stuck in an ancestral paradigm that no amount of psychotherapy was able to shift. Ancestral memory—whether negative or positive—as it turns out, is held within the oil of our kidney fat. And in alchemical Yoga, inherited negative traits are can be dissolved through the tantric heating practice of T’sumo, under compassionate guidance of course.

The implications of this in relation to Yoga were, to me at least, a revelation. We have come a long way in Yoga practices in the west: there have been remarkable transformations in health and core consciousness; however, the journey to wholeism requires a willingness to go further into the microcosm, a maturity of inquiry.

What do you think the bandhas do, besides tone and creating a platform for balance between internal and external strength? The pelvic ceiling and solar plexus control and expel microorganisms or blockages in the system. The Peyer’s patches are the seats of fevers in the body. Isolating them through internal exercise increases control of the body heat, giving us the means to work with and transport our essences. The locks used in concert with specific practices are enacted in an ascending order from the perineum upwards, transporting growth hormones: one lock for alcohols to clean, two locks for oils to transform, three locks for salts to set the new paradigm. (Bear in mind that they do perform other functions in addition to those mentioned in this overview).

The pelvic ceiling, so weakened in our chair-sitting society, is the foundation of tantric yoga’s internal health—it gives us the power to evolve and know who we really are, and yet is oddly ignored by many schools of Yoga. The weakened state of the pelvic ceiling accounts for a large amount of modern ailments and its strengthening must be basis of any Yoga practice.

The gap between the nerves and the glands, which is amenable to our conscious input, the Chakra, is very much a centralizing system of regulation, not only of health, but of emotional well being, sitting as they do over specific organs and translating their (biological) contents into pictorial devices, which form archetypes in all pre-religious cultures. This is where we can move out of the random into the active evolution, in the process demystifying esoteric by becoming alchemists and artists with the body as our canvas: translating pictorially what may have seemed esoteric, when described in isolation from the biology.

The pelvic chakra, Swadhisthana, sits over the Peyer’s patches, the seat of the fires where control of internal temperatures and pressure takes place. Control is gained over hormonal reflexes which are set and reset. Pheromones sent from here have the power to transform our life experience by giving the potential of controlling our unconscious aspects.

The alchemical tantric yogis moved in specific ways through the asanas, in tune with the season and lunar calendar, to work with their essential essences, major organs and the elements themselves:  to tonify, to clean, lubricate as well as to reset paradigms and transport growth hormones. By first dissolving negative ancestral patterns, and then working with the master gene at root of the spleen, they are able to alter their DNA, which is at the core of the alchemical tradition as it is the key to evolution.

In the movie Contact, Jodie Foster asks, “How did advanced beings from other planets get through this awkward phase of external technological proliferation?” The answer, as anyone who had practiced Yoga of any school will know, is to work on yourself (at all levels), and to make this work central to your life. “Our main job is to change the drive of evolution, from warrior to artist and from victim to one who does service,” says John Burke.

The danger in trying to give a taste of Tantra in linear form is that the alchemical story is more like the wedge-shaped pieces of a cake fitting together and made apparent within us by the three brains acting together—solar plexus, heart and head. Practice and time reveal our lost internal world, guided by a teacher (defined as someone connected to a lineage) in concert with the earth mother and thus unifying the group ‘pheromonically’.

When people say, ‘it is in my genes,’ they are unaware of what the ancients knew: your genes can be changed in order to rid yourself of inherited negative patterns. Is our society healthier since Jung and Freud led us into the world of experts and seemingly endless word therapies, not to mention drugs for depression, etc., and pharmaceutical companies and their dubious link to the medical world? The body and earth mother yearns for us to come home and re-unite with its beauty and complexity through touch, smell, conscious movement, igniting our dormant grey matter, and by experiencing the flow our chemical origins which will, in turn, open up a universal experience, as one is inseparable from the other.

The feather touch of a tantric healer brings forward the alcohols; a deeper rhythmic pressure brings forward the oils, a means of lubricating us. The act of making love emulates this healing process, and to the tantric alchemist, the creation of the universe was an act of love—this is reflected in the chemical microscopic hydrogen shapes of the very first building blocks of life, which resemble a penis and a vagina interacting as only they know how.

Imagine enhancing our most personal essences into a stone, a philosopher’s stone no less, this is the alchemist’s quest for healing and expansion made manifest in tangible form—the stuff of legends, but real enough in the ancient cultures of the Himalayas.

Imagine if this evolutionary process was incorporated into the school curriculum, so that not only did students understand how their body worked, and to work their biochemistry, but they could also achieve high levels of physical health and high levels of mental clarity, understanding their role on the planet, their own personal heritage—both negative and positive—as well as the elements and our relationship to nature and to food, and their role in self-evolution whereby intuition was the new ‘mobile phone’. Imagine if history lessons referenced pre-religious belief systems which united with the rhythms of the planet in rituals and feasts, rather than the war and peace game as played out during the political/religious epoch.

Dare we dream of paradise for all? John Burke dreams of nothing else in his work to synthesize and evolve the gypsy alchemical tradition, which actually saved his life by removing the rogue cancer gene from his heritage. In his quarterly week-long workshops, the alchemical yoga and lymphatic walking are usually followed by partner stretching, theory and circles where the chakras are opened, referencing the seasons, aboriginal deities, and the means of moving old patterns through alchemical practices.

The technology to change the world is not out there; it is within us, nowhere else. The tantric alchemical spectrum encompasses past lives, astral and etheric travel—all of these layers of existence are chemically referenced, tuned into via the body’s micro fluids. Alchemical tantra incorporates nature spirits from different traditions, particularly the indigenous aboriginal and Celtic archetypes, through the process of reconnection with pre-religious innate earthbound intelligence. John says, “The only Guru you will ever need is the earth.” For all the above, there is a scientific biochemical explanation, which is great from the sceptics’ point of view, at last an explanation for what has also been labelled New Age, or mystical mumbo jumbo. The endomorphic field, or as the ancients knew it as the aura, has been rediscovered it seems, it is just the labels that are different.

Random chance evolution feels just like that: a long and rather isolating experience. Being in touch with your interior world, understanding the biochemical phenomenal message carriers, and historical cellular containers, the kidney fat of ancestral memory, and future paradigm creators, the luoms, makes life much more alive and vivid than the isolationist tendencies of the previous age with its separated religious disciplines, which segmented our lives and bodies for the sake of control.

Simon Hollington is a long-term student of the tantric alchemical yogic tradition, as taught by John Burke, in the Australian bush. This year, 2012, following a powerful meditation experience, Simon felt prompted to write about this subject. “Yoga in the ‘west’ needs to take the next step in the evolution of the practice,” Simon, who for many years was a freelance journalist contributing to The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times, Sydney Morning Herald, comments, “What I have found is that most yoga magazines are in denial of the real aspects of yoga, and hide in the continuing highly detailed physical minutiae as opposed to broadening the experience of consciousness.”

Evolution: Life’s Search for Life

Evolution: Life’s Search for Life

- by John Burke

Earlier in human history there were groups of people who lived outside the mainstream of everyday culture.  These people where drawn to concentrate on developing their experience of meaning and wonderment at the action of spirit through matter - the act of life

They provided various services to the community at large, one of which was healing.  They did the repair work for those who damage themselves during the complex actions of living day to day.  By caring for accident victims they became aware of the internal environment of the body.  They observed the sacs and tubes, the cords and the bones, the various fluids and the masses of different tissues.  

Faced with the prospect of trying to understand the functions of these things in the body they attempted various ways of analysis.  

In Northern China, the head abbot of a monastery got one of his monks to meditate on the sac that was connected to the mouth by a tube, and was often seen with half-pulped food in it.  

Another monk was told by the abbot to meditate on the fist-sized lump of stuff that sat behind the first sac.  This process was continued until there were all these monks sitting around concentrating on each of the major systems in the body.  

After some years of doing this, it was noticed that the different organs (or rather, prolonged breath-connected concentration on them) produced distinctive movements.  These were recorded and the movements themselves used as a form of therapy for people with pain or weakness in a particular part of their being.  Later these developed into various systems including  Hatha Yoga and Tai-Chi.

In Europe and Eastern China another approach appeared.  

A person at the point of death was placed in a sealed container and allowed to decompose.  This was repeated many times; sometimes the body was suspended in water, sometime it was heated, sometimes gently, sometimes vigorously.  

Essences and Elements

The different substances that separated out were then collected and studied.  It was found that the body was mostly water, but that there were three other types of substances.

There was a highly volatile substance that acted as a solvent and came off at a low body temperature.  Another substance seemed to be a lubricant, an oil.  The third type was a solid crystalline form.  

It was noted that these three "essences", as they became known, were also present in the things we use as food.  It was also seen that these substances could, under various conditions, be gas, fire, liquid or solid. 

These are the four elemental states of the essences.  

By further experiment it was found that there were twelve basic kinds of "salts" (the crystalline substance that took the most heat to extract). Perhaps an infinite number of different oils, yet there seemed to be only two types of "spirit" (so called because it was the first thing lost at the point of death).  After meditating on this, a picture of our place in the environment was envisaged.  

Alcohols ~

The fine vapors were called alcohol, which means "the evolving essence", or spirit.  They were given the symbol [which] shows the lens of the mind meeting the universe O while fixed to matter + .  

Alcohols are carbon chains with heaps of available potential interactions with prana (hydrogen ions).  These ions form the basis of most organic life processes.  

Alcohols act as "super soaps" to keep our bodily process moving.  Unfortunately, they are also the easiest lost during cooking.  

Sometimes if an accumulation of a particular substance is causing disease, it may be necessary to give the body the correct alcohol.  This can be made from a herb rich in the particular substance; or perhaps the impression of the particular potential spirit of the substance-such as a homeopathic nosode.  A nosode is a finely separated impression of the ions of a particular substance.  Once the correct alcohol is supplied, the body can wash out quite amazing amounts of junk.  

Oils~

Alcohols come off as just below blood temperature, oils come off at our just over blood temperature.  Oils are the body's lubricants and storehouses of energies.  They were called Sulfur and later Soul, and were given the symbol ^+ " sulphur " which shows the infinity small dot expanding to the to the manifested line  at the base of the triangle), being fixed to the cross of matter.  

There is a difference between the alkaline alcohols and soaps, and the acid forming salts and sugars.  An Alcohol is a spiral of carbon atoms with their free arms catching at all the available extra energetic hydrogen atoms.  Modern science calls these 'negative ions' because they have an extra negative charge-an electron.  Yogis who saw them in their mediations thought that the extra spiral of energy make them look masculine and so called them positive.  There is no contradiction in this as the scientist were looking at the energy, while the yogis were looking at the form.  

As more of the carbon chains valencies (potential interactions) lock into each other, the substance gains a fixed as well as a volatile nature.  It becomes a "loop" of carbon.  This can roll on itself to create a slippery, soft, thick substance which can connect the active open chains (alcohol) to the crystal structures that hold the waiting patterns of life.

This makes oil and ideal substance for life to use to develop it'\s potential in our bodies.  The oils are our scents and as such form the basis of a whole level of our emotional experiences.  A lot of food processing techniques take out food oils as they tend to allow the food to go rancid.  An oil, then, is a substance that can move around both types of hydrogen ions, those with placement needs (negative ions, or yang chi) and those that have energy needs (positive ions, or yin chi).  In Alchemical medicines the correct aromatic oils are used to strengthen a link between a physical organ and it's sour of energy.  

Salts~

A salt is a carbon chain that has turned in on itself, locked most of its arms onto itself and crystallized.  These substances seek the ions without electrons.  These positive ions drag some of the energy out of the crystal structure, which allows it to break down.  Once a salt has combined with a positive ion it becomes an acid.  The finest of the acids are the living amino acids.  

The alchemical symbol for salt is O~  This shows the infinite spirit O fixed on the manifest life within itself, the line of perceived time.  Most chemical synthesizing processes wind up with an approximation of a fixed salt.  This means that when they are ingested there is no appropriate alcohol to "quicken" the substance, and no oil to allow its assimilation anyhow.  

This is why a whole herb, such as Valerian, can undo a lot of the damage done by Valium, which is a synthesized salt of the herb.

In Alchemical Medicines, alcohols are used to dislodge build-ups of toxins or to start things moving.  The oils are used to nourish, change, stimulate or calm situations.  The salts are then used to tone up the organ and see to it that all the body's energies are reset and realigned.  When all three essences are clear and communicating freely, a state of conscious evolution or "health" is produced. 

Evolution has not stopped… or reached its highest possible expression.  It continues through every act of life.    Modern scientific observation has shown us that matter itself is being constantly renewed.  Hydrogen ions are drawn into existence by the furnaces of stars and the vacuum of deep interplanetary and interstellar space.  life - organic life - is the passage of this 'prima materia' -first matter - through the three basic forms of carbon, using water as a 'menstruum'.  A menstruum is a medium that provides a background for the essence to act through and at the same time is a source of catalysis - extra hydrogen ions and trace elements.  

Our conscious experiences are a kind of menstruum as well.   Our individual consciousness provides the back-ground and our interactions with our environment provide the catalysts that allow the infinite consciousness of spirit to perceive and affect the worlds of matter.  But why would it want to?  

Evolution is the development of portable sets of self-healing, self-motivating, sensory and discriminatory unities based on the abilities of carbon and oxygen. This is so that these individual unities can define and confirm the reality of self and not-self… the I and the beloved

Think about the individual conscious experience… without eyes or ears or any of the five senses… of one cell of your own body - say a blood cell.   Why does it desire to do, and then actually carry out, the things needed for your health?  Does it desire wealth?  The adulation of its fellow blood cells?  Does it care about the bone cells… or the lover… or the brain… does it even know that you, as such, exist?  Can we say that this cell has consciousness?  Is it aware? It certainly carries out some pretty complex interactions.  The experiences handed down to us by skilled yogis and mystics from every one of our root cultures tells us that everything has consciousness… and even awareness.  This awareness is limited only by the senses available to any unit of existence… from organic life, to matter, energy and even electromagnetic fields.  

Keeping this in mind, think about a water molecule as it's evaporated off a river.  What are its hopes and aspirations?  Does it know and recognize other water molecules in the air?  Is it the memory of the lifebringing joy of the river that drives them together to form clouds?  How lonely would one solitary water molecule be?  

Think now about before matter… let yourself imagine all the matter unravelling… the atoms falling apart… the subatomic particles streaming into spirals of energy…  even the energy itself unfolding into its basic electromagnetic field… then the poles of this already infinite field of force dissolving into a single unity.  

Imagine the utter and complete aloneness of that single vast consciousness that was before all else.  

Imagine how it would long for something and some way to perceive… anything… even itself.  Visualize how this desire could polarize the formless void of limitless potential into the part concentrating and the part concentrated upon.  These two pressures intensify and define each other until two forms of one matter are manifest - positive and negative hydrogen ions.  Some points within the field - the area concentrated on - become vast generators of fertile yoni prana - positive ions.  Nuclear fusion begins in these generators and they burst into the universe as stars.  

The vast spaces between the stars - the field that is concentrating on the stars - gives rise to the active lingam prana - negative ions.  These are sucked into existence on this level by the pull of the vacuum and cold outside the stars.  In modern physics, space tells matter where to go and matter tells space how to curve.  

The two forms of hydrogen seek each other, and when they find each other they lock into an intense embrace to form the gas hydrogen (H2)… unless something holds them apart.  

In the stars… and generations of stars… the positive ions, which have no electron shells to keep the nuclei from touching, fuse together to form helium… a new element.  Further nuclear fusion… using positive ions as the catalyst… brings us the other elements.  Early in this process, two very interesting elements, carbon and oxygen, are formed.  

These two elements are so formed that the two types of prana (positive and negative ions) can interact with each other, yet still maintain their own individual integrity.

Evolution is the development of portable sets of self healing, self - motivating, sensory and discriminatory units based on the abilities of carbon and oxygen.  This is so that these individual units can define and confirm the reality of self and not - self… the I and the beloved.  

Carbon… using the polarity of hydrogen ions, positive and negative, magnetic and electronic,  pressure and heat, crates for itself three distinct forms.  Lingam prana keeps the carbon in long, open, spiraling chains - the alkaline-forming alcohols… an alkaline is an alcohol plus a negative ion.  Yoni prana holds the carbon onto a fixed grid - to make the acid-forming salts… an acid is a salt plus positive ion.  As the balance between the two gets closer, oils are formed which have both characteristics… as well as infinite variations… which it gains by using all the other elements of manifest matter, energy and field.  

These three organic essences then find themselves a suitable medium to act through… like water… oxygen plus one of each or two of either of the types of ions.  An optimum stable temperature is fixed by the point of evaporation between oils and alcohols that allows the negative ions to create new compounds and the positive ions to create new elements.  

This critical threshold, the point of transmutation, is found at two temperatures - either in the hearts of stars or… you guessed it… blood temperatures.  At this temperature, if silicon and oxygen, for instance, come together under the influence of negative ions, the compound silicon dioxide is likely to be produced.  If on the other hand the catalyst is positive ions, the new element calcium can be formed.  

In first instance the interaction happens in the outer electron shell - the atoms' individual nuclei so that the atomic weights of the two original elements are fused together to form a new element.  If you think that's a bit far-fetched, think about how cows, whose diet is low in calcium but high in silicon, make milk… which is high in calcium.  

Living beings… like stars… can transmute one element into another.  What if this is really true… on all levels? (Remember that all material existences are permutations of the first two forms of hydrogen.) 

Even emotions can sometimes become their opposite.  Although emotions are not physical things they are accompanied by the movement of physical hormones.  Fear can become excitement, even a kind of strength… given the right stimulus.  

 
 
POSTURE, BREATH & CONSCIOUSNESS

If you watch the postural breath pattern of someone angry, you will see them literally 'get their backs up' as the breath draws adrenalin up their spine.  This is a natural preparation for aggression…  a putting on of shields and a closing off of our soft vulnerable front.  If the angry person changes their posture when all their breath is out and breathes up the front of their body… creating a feeling of opening…the emotion changes as well.  This is because counterbalancing hormonal catalysts are drawn off the adrenals.  

Try it… Sit in front of a mirror…think about something that gets you angry… let it built with your in breath… up your back… then as you breathe out, detach the energy from its object… by abstracting it… perhaps see it as yang fire rather than anger at such-and-such… then take a full breath in… opening the front of your body and feel the difference.  With more practice it is possible to gain more complete control.  

The substances that form the physiological basis for our emotions are mostly oils.  This is why our scent changes with our emotions.  When we were babies… before we learnt to talk with words… smells were our whole language.  We actually thought in smells.  Whole levels of our reactions and interactions still happen in that language.  The volatile aromatic oils given off by those around us affect our every mood… even our growth patterns.  

The entities that we call germs and viruses can't make their own oils - some of them are little more than alcohols while others are really just complex salts.  It is our emotional reactions to them that teaches these life-forms their identity and trains their reactions to us.  Be careful about calling a micro-organism a disease… you may leave it no choice.  ~~~
