Natural Remedy for Children with ADHD
The Magnetic You
There are many different ways to healing the human body of ailments and diseases caused by the cultural lifestyle of an individual.Western medicine idea of health is not a proponent of Preventative Medicine.It will not educate you on what to eat so you won't get sick, and when they do they simply tell you to eat lettuce cause it's good for you, not explaining why, as if their main concern is to keep people mesmerized with the idea of having some who can operate on them when they are sick.Anyhow, alternative forms of healing has been suppressed and denied funding for advance research for many years until recent times.(sad to say it is not the same case with Free Energy Research which would, I guess put these gas guzzling Electric Companies out of Business.)
Magnetic Therapy entrenched with its Ancient Kemetic roots is reemerging as a promising force to assist in the healing of man once again.Western medicine is just now seeing what ancient Africans have saw for thousands of years, that the body is interconnected to the universe, and thus shares in the universal energy patterns of the universe.The body is condensed energy, and what manifests in the body is an expression of what is taking place on an subtle energy level.Our ancestors held that if we addressed the issue at the energy level by correcting the energy that is causing this specific problem to show up physically there would be no need to have surgery.Food was also a very significant part of medical treatment.They would tell you what to eat because the foods have healing properties in them.
Understanding that the earth has a magnetic field, and we are not only living in it, we are part of it that connects to a larger energy grid that extends all throughout the Multiverse.Magnetic rock the same stone used to make magnets are magnetically charged by millions of years of being in the earths field, and has a vibrational pull to prove it.Extensive research has been done to prove that Magnetic Therapy works just as well as other methods of what people label Alternative health. How can you call the true original forms of Health an alternative? This is a link to interesting research in Magnetic Therapy.

Sacred Geometry Applied to Healing and Energy
Sacred geometry asserts that by analyzing and working with geometric figures, one attunes to the mystical laws of creation. Geometry is an important part of energy healing because subtle energies often organize in shape and form. Because of this, healers throughout history have employed symbols by using psychic visioning and by constructing healing instruments in various shapes. Geometry is also interrelated with sound.
Geometric theories began emerging thousands of years ago, most notably during the time of Plato and his predecessor, Pythagoras. The geometric proportions developed during this time period have been used by most civilizations since and applied to mathematics, art, architecture, cosmology, music, astronomy, and physics. Here are a few applications of sacred geometry to healing and energy.
BASIC GEOMETRY THEORIES
There are several geometry theories that apply to healing energies.
considers the proportions of the body to relate to the golden mean. Geometry also seems to serve as an ‘inter-dimensional glue,’ according to a relatively new theory called causal dynamical triangulation (CDT). According to CDT, time-space is divided into tiny triangulated pieces, with the building block being a pentachoron. Each simple, triangulated piece is geometrically flat, but they are glued together to create curved time-spaces. Many of these forms are geometrical in nature.
Cymatics studies that different frequencies produce different patterning effects. The nature of these patterns at least partially depends on spin, the rotation around a central axis that determines the resulting movements. In his book Mind, Body and Electromagnetism, author John Evans shows that there are various patterns produced by frequency and spin in the human body. He suggests that the cellular material of the body is patterned by electromagnetic waveforms with an ordering of frequency along the central axis. A simple change alters the vibrational qualities of the object and therefore its effects. And this is the basis of energy healing – changing frequency or spin through field dynamics.
PARAMAGNETISM
Paramagnetism is the ability of a substance to resonate with magnetism. It helps explain the way that geometric energies influence the living. According to paramagnetism, it appears that different shapes literally attract magnetic energies and focus them in different ways. And the materials themselves influence the magnetic effects. Researches have suggested that employing paramagnetic materials in house building, including wood and stone, can help neutralize the effects of electro and Geo-pathetic stress.

Here are a few applications of sacred geometry to healing and energy.
BASIC GEOMETRY THEORIES
There are several geometry theories that apply to healing energies.
Sine wave – A waveform with the shape of a sine curve: a single frequency indefinitely repeated in time, it used to depict the underlying measurement of energy.
Sphere – A three-dimensional closed circuit on which all points are at a given distance from the center. Energetically, it is considered in many cultures to represent the void, relationship, origin of life, or perfect balance.
Fibonacci sequence – A repetitive numerical series in which each number except for the first two is the sum of the preceding two. Closely related to the golden section.
Torus – A doughnut-shaped geometric surface created by rotating circle about a line in the same plane as the circle but not intersecting it. It is part of the flower of life.
Golden section – A line segment sectioned into two according to the golden ratio, where ‘a+b’ is to the longer segment as ‘a’ is to the shorter segment ‘b’. The ratio is approximately 1.6180 and often represented with the Greek letter phi. This ratio is linked to the golden spiral and the golden rectangle. It is considered an instrument of the divine in creation.
Merkaba – Two oppositely oriented and inter-penetrating tetrahedrons, often considered to be vehicles for soul travel or opening to higher consciousness.
Metraton’s cube – Metaphysically recognized as the basis for the Platonic solids, it contains two tetrahedrons, two cubes, and an octahedron, icosahedron, and dodecahedron.
Flower of life – A figure composed of evenly-spaced, overlapping circles, creating a flower-like pattern. Images of the Platonic solids and other sacred geometrical figures can be discerned with this pattern.- The Platonic solids – Five three-dimensional solid shapes, each containing all congruent angles and sides. If circumscribed with a sphere, all vertices would touch the edge of that sphere. Linked by Plato to the four primary elements and heaven.

Do Magnets have Healing Power?
Alternative practitioners have long said yes, and recent studies suggest that they may be right. In a recent study published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston found magnets to be more effective than sham magnets at blocking pain caused by post-polio syndrome. (This syndrome, marked by leg pain, affects up to 20% of polio sufferers later in life.)
In the controlled study, 76% of patients treated with a magnet got pain relief. Only 18% treated with a sham magnet got relief.
They also help prevent the muscle spasms that underlie many forms of pain - apparently by interfering with muscle contractions. And, they interfere with the electrochemical reactions that take place within nerve cells, impeding their ability to transmit pain messages to the brain.
Of course, chronic pain can be controlled with aspirin and other over-the-counter and prescription painkillers. But unlike pain medications, magnets do not carry any risk of side effects.
It is usually best to start with one or more coin-shaped magnets made of the rare earth metal neodymium-boron. For most applications, these "neo" magnets work just as well as – and cost less than – other magnets.
Magnetism is measured in gauss. A typical refrigerator magnet is about 10 gauss. That is too weak to penetrate the skin - and unlikely to be helpful for anything more than a minor bruise.
Medical magnets range in strength from 450 gauss to 10,000 gauss. The higher the gauss, the better the pain relief.
If the magnet fails to provide relief within a few days, reposition the magnet over the nearest acupuncture point. To locate these points on the body, consult a book on acupuncture.
If repositioning the magnet fails to bring relief within 30 days, odds are it's not going to work. Switch to another type of magnet or speak with your doctor about using pain killing medication or another conventional approach.
In the controlled study, 76% of patients treated with a magnet got pain relief. Only 18% treated with a sham magnet got relief.
Growing Body of Evidence
In other studies, magnets have proven effective against:- Fibromyalgia - Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston showed that magnets help relieve muscle pain caused by this mysterious condition. In the study, patients who slept on magnetic mattresses experienced greater pain relief than patients who slept on ordinary mattresses.
- Diabetic neuropathy - In research conducted at New York Medical College of Valhalla, magnetic foot pads were more effective than non-magnetic foot pads at relieving numbness, tingling and pain associated with this diabetes-related problem.
How Magnets Relieve Pain
When held against the skin, magnets relax capillary walls, thereby boosting blood flow to the painful area.They also help prevent the muscle spasms that underlie many forms of pain - apparently by interfering with muscle contractions. And, they interfere with the electrochemical reactions that take place within nerve cells, impeding their ability to transmit pain messages to the brain.
Of course, chronic pain can be controlled with aspirin and other over-the-counter and prescription painkillers. But unlike pain medications, magnets do not carry any risk of side effects.
Selecting Medical Magnets
Medical magnets come in a dizzying range of shapes, sizes and strengths. They range in price from about $5 all the way to $900.It is usually best to start with one or more coin-shaped magnets made of the rare earth metal neodymium-boron. For most applications, these "neo" magnets work just as well as – and cost less than – other magnets.
Magnetism is measured in gauss. A typical refrigerator magnet is about 10 gauss. That is too weak to penetrate the skin - and unlikely to be helpful for anything more than a minor bruise.
Medical magnets range in strength from 450 gauss to 10,000 gauss. The higher the gauss, the better the pain relief.
Putting Magnets to Work:
The magnet should be affixed to the skin directly over the painful area. Some people use ordinary adhesive bandages to affix the magnets. But Transpore, a paper tape made by 3M, works better. It holds well, and it doesn't pull the hairs from the skin when it is removed.If the magnet fails to provide relief within a few days, reposition the magnet over the nearest acupuncture point. To locate these points on the body, consult a book on acupuncture.
If repositioning the magnet fails to bring relief within 30 days, odds are it's not going to work. Switch to another type of magnet or speak with your doctor about using pain killing medication or another conventional approach.
- Aching Feet - Magnetic insoles can relieve foot pain and the achy feelings in the legs after you've been standing all day.
- Arthritis - If pain is limited to your fingers, a neo magnet taped to the affected joint should do the trick. Or, you can wear a magnetic wrist band.
- Back Pain - Place four magnets about 1.5" on either side of the spine, two per side. If applying and removing several magnets proves troublesome, use a three to four inch ceramic strip magnet, or a magnetic back brace.
- Headache - Tape magnets to your temples or to the back of your head, just above the neck. Or use a magnetic headband.
- Tennis Elbow - Use a magnetic band around the elbow. The same band also relieves hand and arm pain caused by repetitive strain injury.
The Right Food / The Best Medicine
Science overwhelmingly shows us that food is the best medicine. As the spirits of the ancients return we are becoming more aware of the medicinal properties of food.I have always asked the question why do I have to get sick (with side effects) to get healed when taking traditional medicines.Our Grocery store should be our Farm-acy...Following these 10 rules will keep you healthy for life!
Ten Rules For Eating Safely
Ten Rules For Eating Safely
- Do not eat food if it has a label on it. Avoid foods in a box, package or can.
- If the food does have a label, it should have fewer than five ingredients. But Beware of food with “Health Claims” on the label. Cola is “fat free” but that certainly doesn’t make Cola a healthy food item. A big bag of deep fried potato chips may say ” all-natural, no artificial ingredients, gluten-free, organic, no sugar, and it may also have fewer than five ingredients on label, but that doesn’t make it a health food! (Potato chips contain a cancer causing chemical. Read More..)
- Stay away from those deadly white powders: white sugar and white flour which acts like sugar in your body. Sugar of any name on the label, throw it out.
- Throw out any food with high fructose corn syrup on the label. It is not biochemically identical to sugar. Researchers in Children’s Hospital in Oakland found that it punches little holes in your gut. This creates something called a leaky gut and allows toxic bacteria in food proteins to get into your bloodstream causing serious inflammation which drives diabesity. This is the main ingredient in liquid calories or sugary drinks which is the number one cause of obesity in America. Don’t drink your calories! They will pour on the pounds!
- Throw out any food with the word “hydrogenated” on the label! It is an indicator of trans fats which are vegetable oils converted through a process into shortening or margarine. You know why they call at shortening? Because it shortens your life.
- Throw out any highly refined cooking oils such as corn oil and soy oil. Also avoid fried foods. Stick with olive oil and coconut oil.
- Throw out any food with ingredients you do not recognize or can not pronounce.
- Throw out any foods with preservatives, additives, coloring, or dyes, or “natural flavorings” like MSG
- Throw out any food with artificial sweeteners of any kind. How many of you have used diet drinks as a weight-loss strategy or to manage diabetes? Here is the headline you need to know. Artificial sweeteners make you hungrier, they slow your metabolism, they will give you bad gas, and they make you store extra fat around your waist, the big bad belly fat! In a recent study, people who drank two or more diet sodas a day experienced waist size increases 500% greater than those of non-drinkers.
- If it came from the earth or a farmer’s field and not a food chemist’s lab than it is safe to eat.
- Focus on eating quality real whole fresh foods every day. Load up on Good Carbs, slow carbs, plant foods. These include vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts, whole grains, and beans. These don’t spike insulin and they make you lose belly fat. These foods have all the right gene material and turn on all the right human genes. Our bodies know what to do with these whole foods.
- Make “The Perfect Plate”
- Half the plate should be low glycemic vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, spinach, kale, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, salad greens. And you get unlimited refills on that side.
- One quarter of the plate should be high quality protein like beans, nuts and seeds, lean chicken, fish.
- One quarter of the plate should be slow carbs like brown rice, quinoa, or sweet potatoes. Not bagels, doughnuts or pasta!
- The key to balancing your blood sugar and insulin is having protein with every meal including snacks. Eating protein at breakfast will cut your cravings, turn up your metabolic thermostat, make you lose weight faster. So for breakfast have eggs, a protein shake, or have dinner for breakfast. You also need to eat the right fats.
- Research is clear. Eating fat does not make you fat. 90% of Americans are deficient in the good fats. Good fats are those anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats that come from wild fish and some plants like algae. These fight diabesity and boost your brain..See "Blue Green Algae"
You also need the good oils like olive oil, nuts, coconut oil and avocados. - Eat early, eat often and do not eat before Bed! Breakfast is the single most important meal of the day. It is the main thing that people have in common who have lost 70 or more pounds and have kept it off for five years. Eating often is also essential. People who ate three meals a day lost more weight than people who ate one meal a day even if they ate exactly the same amount of calories during the day. Do not eat right before you go to bed. Eating before you go to bed makes your body store fat instead of burning it. That’s how Sumo wrestlers gain weight. They eat and they go to bed.
- There are two bad guys that can cause diabetes, gluten and dairy. Stopping them for a few weeks can result in dramatic shifts in health and weight.
- There is one thing affecting millions of people and it is almost never diagnosed by your doctor. Hidden food allergies and sensitivities. In addition to causing many chronic health problems like auto immune diseases, asthma, migraines, digestive problems like irritable bowel and reflux. Food sensitivities and allergies also cause diabetes..

The Reality of Shape Shifting Revealed in Nanotechnology
With the advancement of science today, it becomes apparent that we are heading towards establishing a civilization that this planet has never seen before outside of a movie theater. Remember the cartoon called the Jetsons? If we recall they had a device similiar to a coffee maker that could make any type of food instantly.This machine could also create other inorganic materials.What does this has to do with Nanotechnology? Well Nanotechnology is a science where atoms and molecules stick together because they have complementary shapes that lock together, or charges that attract. Just like with magnets, a positively charged atom will stick to a negatively charged atom. As millions of these atoms are pieced together by nano machines, a specific product will begin to take shape. The goal of molecular manufacturing is to manipulate atoms individually and place them in a pattern to produce a desired structure.In other words these nano machine can create any substance by replicating it from a molecular level.Sound like cloning right?
Scientist at Rice University has said, "Trillions of assemblers and replicators could fill an area smaller than a cubic millimeter, and could still be too small for us to see with the naked eye. Assemblers and replicators could work together to automatically construct products, and could eventually replace all traditional labor methods. This could vastly decrease manufacturing costs, thereby making consumer goods plentiful, cheaper and stronger. Eventually, we could be able to replicate anything, including diamonds, water and food. Famine could be eradicated by machines that fabricate foods to feed the hungry."
"Nanotechnology may have its biggest impact on the medical industry. Patients will drink fluids containing nanorobots programmed to attack and reconstruct the molecular structure of cancer cells and viruses. There's even speculation that nanorobots could slow or reverse the aging process, and life expectancy could increase significantly. Nanorobots could also be programmed to perform delicate surgeries -- such nanosurgeons could work at a level a thousand times more precise than the sharpest scalpel [source: International Journal of Surgery]. By working on such a small scale, a nanorobot could operate without leaving the scars that conventional surgery does. Additionally, nanorobots could change your physical appearance. They could be programmed to perform cosmetic surgery, rearranging your atoms to change your ears, nose, eye color or any other physical feature you wish to alter."
"Nanotechnology has the potential to have a positive effect on the environment. For instance, scientists could program airborne nanorobots to rebuild the thinning ozone layer. Nanorobots could remove contaminants from water sources and clean up oil spills. Manufacturing materials using the bottom-up method of nanotechnology also creates less pollution than conventional manufacturing processes. Our dependence on non-renewable resources would diminish with nanotechnology. Cutting down trees, mining coal or drilling for oil may no longer be necessary -- nanomachines could produce those resources."
Some other surprising things Nano technology can be used for is Cloning People, Animals and Foods.Is this the key to Genetic/Molecular Manipulation? From what researchers are saying the answer is yes.Will these new Nano-foods, Products or even People be harmful to our society? How about the idea of injecting Nano particles in your bloodstream that are programmed to reconstruct the molecules in your body thus transforming you into another person or thing? Only time will tell if Nanotechnology is the science of Shape shifting or not.

WHAT ARE THE BIOLOGIC PROPERTIES OF SILVER RELATED TO WOUND INFECTION CONTROL AND HEALING
Silver has long been known to be a potent antimicrobial agent and its beneficial effects on wound biology have in general been overlooked until recently. A description of what silver does and its role in wound management will be presented briefly with a more complete discussion in later sections.
ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES:
The antimicrobial activity of silver ion is well defined. Silver ion rapidly kills microbes by blocking the cell respiration pathway. The speed of action is almost instantaneous once the silver reaches the microbe. The efficacy of microbe killing is based not only on the amount of silver ion present, but likely also the presence of other silver radicals generated by a silver releasing product.
Because of mechanism of action, microbial resistance to silver itself has not been reported. In addition, silver has repeatedly been shown to be non-toxic to human cells. Toxicity occurs from the complexes used to deliver silver such as nitrate and sulfadiazine.
Wound Healing Properties: The anti-inflammatory effects of silver ion on a wound have been recognized for centuries. Most of the reports are purely descriptive in nature identifying the decrease in erythema and increased healing.
A number of the biochemical effects of silver on the wound have been documented over a decade ago. However, only recently with the new concepts on wound healing and healing impairment, can a mechanism of action be presented. The major focus of wound healing has been on the relationship between tissue destruction by a group of collagenase enzymes known as METALLOPROTEINASES (MMP) and tissue synthesis which is stimulated by growth factors.
The collagenase inhibition test was conducted by adding dilutions of ACTICOAT dressing extract (3 sq. in. in 5 ml. Water) to an assay mixture containing fluorescently-labeled gelatin and appropriately diluted (in water) collagenase. Following incubation the activity of the enzyme was compared to baseline activity (no inhibitor). The assay was also conducted in the presence of a known inhibitor (0.5 mM phenanthroline). The inhibitor reduced enzyme activity by 70%. The silver related from ACTICOAT reduced enzyme activity by 90%.

A quantitative assay was undertaken using collagenase MMP-1, MMP-8; and MMP-13). As MMP-2 and MMP-9 have related activities (gelatinase), they are anticipated to behave similarly and produce results similar to those obtained for the collagenase tested.Effect of silver delivery (ACTICOAT) on Metalloproteinase (Collagenase) MMP 1.8.13

Alkaline and a Disease Free Body
Proper Health starts with the correct acid-alkaline balance in your body. The pH level (acid – alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm your body, and lead to health complications. Just as the body regulates its temperature in a rigid manner, so will it manage to preserve a very narrow pH range – especially in the blood. As a matter of fact, the body will go to such great lengths to maintain a blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs to do so. Chronic acidity will interrupt all cellular activities and functions – it interferes with life itself.
When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders.
The cycle of acidity begins primarily as a result of three things:
1. Ingesting acids. Eating too many acidifying foods like processed sugar, meats, dairy, coffee, alcohol, etc. Create an acid ash in the body. These acids can overload the body’s ability to neutralize them.
2. Creation of acids. Pathogens and microforms create acidifying toxins in the body. As the body becomes more and more acidic, bad bacteria, yeasts and other microforms proliferate in the body. Since these organisms are living, they eat as well as create resulting toxins. These toxins are often very acidifying.
3. Improper elimination of acids. Not all acids are the same; some are weak and some are strong. Weak acids like citric acid are much easier to neutralize than strong acids like uric acid. The body uses many systems in order to buffer acids including breath, mineral reserves, and fat. When the body’s buffering systems become compromised, excess acids build up.
The process of reestablishing acid-alkaline balance begins with proper diet and nutrition. This includes eating alkalizing foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.), super hydration (drinking plenty of alkaline water that is ionic and structured), and proper supplementation.
pH Balance begins with super hydration
Water is the most crucial factor in establishing and maintaining proper acid-alkaline balance. Since your body is 70% water, it is extremely important to constantly replenish your supply of it. The body loses 2.5 liters of water every day just through normal bodily functions. The quality of the water that you drink is just as important as the quantity of water you drink. The water you put in your body must be able to prevent toxins and chemical substances from accumulating and creating destructive influences on cells. Water must also transport minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism, and remove any substances that can damage the cell. Ideally, the water you drink should have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should be drinking 3-4 liters of it daily.
In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need to drink water that is alkaline and ionized. Alkaline water helps to neutralize stored acids and toxins. Once these acids are neutralized, they can then be removed by the body. Alkaline water containing ionic minerals also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell. Reports from studies suggest that ionized, alkaline water can help the body resist disease and slow aging by:

The process of reestablishing acid-alkaline balance begins with proper diet and nutrition. This includes eating alkalizing foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.), super hydration (drinking plenty of alkaline water that is ionic and structured), and proper supplementation.
pH Balance begins with super hydration
Water is the most crucial factor in establishing and maintaining proper acid-alkaline balance. Since your body is 70% water, it is extremely important to constantly replenish your supply of it. The body loses 2.5 liters of water every day just through normal bodily functions. The quality of the water that you drink is just as important as the quantity of water you drink. The water you put in your body must be able to prevent toxins and chemical substances from accumulating and creating destructive influences on cells. Water must also transport minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism, and remove any substances that can damage the cell. Ideally, the water you drink should have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should be drinking 3-4 liters of it daily.
In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need to drink water that is alkaline and ionized. Alkaline water helps to neutralize stored acids and toxins. Once these acids are neutralized, they can then be removed by the body. Alkaline water containing ionic minerals also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell. Reports from studies suggest that ionized, alkaline water can help the body resist disease and slow aging by:
- Increasing Intracellular Hydration
- Replenishing Essential Minerals
- Stabilizing and Protecting Cells
- Helping To Maintain Normal Blood Flow and Acid Alkaline Balance
- Flushing Out and Preventing Wastes from Accumulating in Cells
- Preventing Free Radicals from Forming and Damaging Other Cells
Anti-Toxin of Common Sense
Many phases of metaphysical thought today have become epidemic. They need the anti-toxin of Common Sense, to save the minds infected from mania. Any philosophy, or religion, or creed, or dogma, which fails to make men better sons, husbands and fathers, better neighbors and citizens, is of little use to the world. Any woman who is not improved as a daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and friend, by her religion, has not found the path that leads to the highest development of her character.
Hundreds of men and women in our midst are striving to attain powers, which will enable them to reach above this everyday plane of consciousness and to see and hear what is transpiring in psychic realms. Insanity, divorce, broken homes and broken minds frequently result from these foolish endeavors to become “adepts.” The ranks of the adepts are not reinforced, but the ranks of the world’s unfortunates are.
No religion, no philosophy, no course of mental or spiritual training can fit human beings to adorn or enjoy “realms beyond,” unless it fits them first to adorn and enjoy the realms in which they are placed by destiny. No amount of spiritual enthusiasm can render us capable of filling important positions in the “kingdom come,” unless it enables us to first perform every nearest duty here on earth with willing cheerfulness, courage and trust.
The Creator who placed us upon earth, in human bodies, with human instincts and appetites, intended us to live as normal human beings, performing the tasks necessary to the earthly sojourn, while we develop, to the best of our ability, the character which merits immortality. But this development cannot be obtained by leaping over the practical, commonplace obligations of home, neighborhood and society and arriving at some spiritual eminence, from which immortality is discernible.It must be attained by climbing up the stairs of duties performed.
Prayer and meditation “in the silence” are both means of lifting the mind above the petty worries of everyday life. They are like refreshing showers, which cleanse the mind from dust; like rays of sunshine, which bring forth blossoms on the barren earth. But the woman who devotes her time to prayer and meditation and neglects to sweep her room, to prepare the meals for her family, to care for her person and make herself attractive to her husband and children, and who fails to interest herself in the things which render her companionable to those nearest her is not developing the highest attributes of her nature. She is not winning immortality, and she is not on the path to the highest usefulness in this world. She is making a mistake, which will prove a hindrance to her happiness on both planes of consciousness.
When any religion creates a growing chasm between a wife or a mother and her family and causes a separateness of interests and atrophies the affections, its divine origin may be questioned. Religion should give new vitality to the heart, strengthen the love nature, and bring those who are near to us still nearer; it should enable us to be so broad, so tolerant, so sympathetic, so loving, that all difference of faith can be borne, without discord or alienation of the affections.
New Thought, so called, of all religions ought to bring harmony, rather than dissension into the family circle. Its whole philosophy rests upon the power of silent thought to change conditions and achieve results. The old creeds believed in proselyting, in trying to make converts, in preaching and haranguing, and in revival meetings, which consisted in working upon the emotional and hysterical nature of the “unconverted.” New Thought has abandoned all these methods. The law of assertion has taken the place of preaching and praying with “sinners.”
Thought has been declared by physical science to be a phase of the same energy which governs the solar system. It is understood how, rightly and persistently directed, thought can draw to the mind which sends it forth whatever that mind desires. Demand creates supply.
The woman who wants her family to come into harmony with her ideas should begin by making her family love and respect her in every capacity of wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. So practical, so thoughtful, so humanly loving, so useful, so companionable should she be in her daily life, so cheerful and so amiable in her performance of duties, that her example would, in the natural course of events, seem worthy of emulation and her ideas and opinions, worthy of respect.
When such a woman sends into space her quiet, earnest assertions that those who are dear to her believe as she believes and understand as she understands, she need use no arguments, no sermons, no educating methods, to bring about the desired result. Sooner or later, she will be given her heart’s wish. But she who allows her creed to separate her from her family, who forgets to be the ideal wife, mother or daughter, in trying to be the spiritual adept, only drives her family further away from the truth, as she understands it, and delays her own best development, by neglecting her nearest duties. It is good wives and good mothers and good women in the daily walks of life that the world needs, not adepts or miracle-workers.
