"It was then I began to investigate how to go beyond symptomatic treatment to source-level treatment, a way of working that shifts consciousness so true healing can take place. This required I look beyond the physical properties of the plant to see if healing could occur at deeper levels. Never doubting my abilities to communicate with them, I went directly to the plants to find out how they could assist me. What I have learned over the years is that plants are vastly intelligent, multidimensional beings with tremendous capacity for healing at a source level." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)
"Implicit in my choice of words, plant spirit healing instead of plant energy healing, is that the vital principle of spirit within plant consciousness guides the energy in its movement.
THE VEHICLE OF SPIRIT IN THE BODY
The body makes what is known as the "spirit molecule," which is believed to be produced by the pineal gland (from pinus because it looks like a pinecone), the gland that is responsible for the management of light in our bodies. N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is the only endogenous (produced in the body) chemical that has been found to have psychoactive properties."

"It is this ever-present consciousness of our higher selves that has access to the sacred and can translate the sublime language of the spirits. The soul as the intermediary between the heart and spirit is the vehicle that drives us to connect with life as well as what serves as the portal to the divine. Serving in this middle place between the "two wings of the butterfly,"* it is essential for the soul to understand the workings of both the heart and the spirit, the seen and unseen, the manifest and unmanifest."

"Entering into nonordinary reality—the reality that is simultaneous with the ordinary reality we experience—is a distinguishing feature of shamanic consciousness. Oftentimes this dimension is called the dreamtime and can be experienced as a nighttime dream, a daydream, or a dream journey.
The following is Linda's story of entering the dreamtime. "While taking photos for Pam's book I made a connection with a Maple tree. I knew when I shot the image that it was important and I had recorded something powerful."

| "This famous researcher was, of course, Jean Piaget (1896-1980), and his empirical confirmation of the universal, cross-cultural, developmental stages of consciousness, each with its own worldview, has now been validated and revalidated by literally hundreds of scientific studies." - Steve McIntosh, Integral consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.)
"It was Hegel, however, who was really the first to describe how consciousness develops in distinct stages. Indeed, we can now recognize the entire corpus of integral theory within Hegel's philosophy, albeit in an early, undeveloped form. Unlike most of the other branches of psychology that had their beginnings in the late nineteenth century, developmental psychology carried forward the insights of moral philosophers such as Kant and Hegel."
- Steve McIntosh, Integral consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.)
"However, it is worth mentioning in this regard that although Gebser was remarkably prophetic in his early recognition of the stages of consciousness, it is rather odd that even though The Ever-Present Origin cites the work of hundreds of philosophers, scientists, and artists, there is no mention of developmental psychologists such as James Mark Baldwin or Gebser's fellow Swiss thinker Jean Piaget. And this is especially curious given the fact that by the time of the second edition of The Ever-Present Origin, the work of Piaget was well known in intellectual circles."

| "Actually the dot is 10X more than enters consciousness, I had to enlarge it because it was barely visible.) In contrast, the powerful subconscious mind processes all the remaining incoming information (the black area) in the same second. ously acquired (learned) behaviors ?all without the help, supervision or even awareness of the conscious mind.
The two minds make a dynamic duo. Operating together, the conscious mind can use its resources to focus on some specific point, such as the party you are going to on Friday night." - Bruce H. Lipton, The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of consciousness, Matter And Miracles (Get the book.)
| "Early symptoms of heat injury are excessive sweating, headache, nausea, dizziness, a reduced consciousness, and mental function. When the core temperature rises to over 40°C, heat stroke may develop, characterized by hot dry skin, confusion, and loss of consciousness. There are several anecdotal reports of athletes and army recruits who died because of heat stroke. Most of these deaths have been explained by exercise in hot conditions, often with insufficient fluid intake. These problems not only affect highly trained athletes but also less well-trained people participating in sport." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)
| "Reduced to basic terms, human beings are simply the consequence of "collective amoebic consciousness." As a nation reflects the traits of its citizens, our human-ness must reflect the basic nature of our cellular communities.
Living the Lessons of Cells
Using these cell communities as role models, I came to the conclusion that we are not victims of our genes, but masters of our fates, able to create lives overflowing with peace, happiness and love. I tested my hypothesis in my own life after a nudge from my audiences, who asked me why my insights hadn't made me any happier." - Bruce H. Lipton, The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of consciousness, Matter And Miracles (Get the book.)
"Evolution's repetitive, fractal patterns allow us to predict that humans will figure out how to expand their consciousness in order to climb another rung of the evolutionary ladder. The exciting, esoteric world of fractal geometry provides a mathematical model that suggests that the "arbitrariness, planlessness, randomness, and accident" that Mayr wrote about is an outmoded concept. In fact, I believe it is an idea that does not serve humanity and should, as rapidly as possible, go the way of the pre-Copernican Earth-centered Universe."

| "However, before it agrees to compensate children for a so-called MMR encephalopathy, the court generally requires evidence that the child lost consciousness for an extended period following the shot. Michelle does not seem to have had a seizure or loss of consciousness. Though concerned about the fever, her mother did not bring Michelle to the doctor until 10 days after it first spiked.
According to Mrs. Cedillo's testimony, her daughter became less responsive and stopped talking during that acute illness." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
| "And although the term "values" does have some baggage due to its adoption by the religious right, this term is too important to concede to those who oppose cultural evolution. Potential alternative expressions of the idea of values could include Paul Tillich's phrase: "matters of ultimate human concern." We can even associate values with the mystical idea of quality itself. However, my own understanding of the idea of values has been most illuminated through the use of the concept of three "primary values"—the beautiful, the true, and the good." - Steve McIntosh, Integral consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.)
| "We do not really consider that a person is healed from the consciousness and physiology of diabetes until he or she has had two consecutive HgbAlc tests with results in the normal range, and has a regular FBS of 70 to 85 on a regular basis without the use of any traditional diabetic medications.
CHAPTER 5
Happy Continuation: Living in the Culture of Life and Juice Feasting
You are not what you are, rather, what you are is what you can be. The most interesting thing about life is that you can become more than you were before." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
| "We are looking to avoid pain and suffering, and to find a more enjoyable state of consciousness.
This is completely natural, and is as true for every other sentient being on this planet as it is for us. It is the organism's way of monitoring how it is doing in life. If there is something amiss ?if we need food, for instance—we feel hungry, which is usually an uncomfortable experience. We don't feel good, so, quite naturally, we look for something that will relieve our suffering—in this case, food. Having eaten, we feel better; our lives are in balance again." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)
| "Even in the most adverse circumstances, it still is possible for motivated individuals and nations to heal on the Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program as an act of love and consciousness.
The inspiration for this book began with a movie on diabetes and live foods that was made at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona. The original idea was to do a film on the effect of being raw for thirty days. I strongly suggested that it would be more interesting to the general public to witness on film the effect of live foods on diabetic, McDonald's-Culture-of-Death individuals." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
"To get the fullest value out of eating, I urge you to maintain an intentional heart and mind of love, gratitude, and consciousness during the preparation and eating of your food.
I am starting this chapter by addressing your concerns about live-food preparation, showing how easy it can be to eat this way with the Four Means to Get Your Greens. Then I will describe the innovative Rainbow Green World Cuisine adapted to be a Culture of Life anti-diabetogenic cuisine."

| "Wheeler's studies have led him to believe that we may live in a universe where consciousness is not only important, but also actually creative—in other words, a "participatory universe."
Clarifying his belief, Wheeler says, "We could not even imagine a universe that did not somewhere and for some stretch of time contain observers because the very building materials of the universe are these acts of observer-participancy."7
What a shift!" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)
"Particles, Possibilities, and Consciousness: A Brief Look at Quantum Reality
In Newton's mechanical view of the cosmos, the universe is thought of in terms of particles whose behavior can be known and predicted at any moment in time. It's like balls on a pool table: If we have the information that describes the force of a ball as it strikes another (speed, angle, and so on), then we should be able to predict where and how the one that has been struck will travel. And if it should hit other balls in its journey, we'll know where and how fast they're traveling as well."

"The scientific discoveries of the last 150 years have already shown that the relationship between consciousness, reality, and belief exists.
Are we willing to accept the relationship we've been shown and the responsibility that comes with such power so that we can apply it in our lives in a meaningful way? Only through the future that is on the horizon will we know how we've answered this question.
We Know There Are Things We Don't Know

| "Commiting to a plant-source-only diet because we are determined to remove the causes of diabetes and ill health is an Act of Love and consciousness. In this liberating and transformative process, we naturally move beyond the false identity that has been given us by advertising, including the so-called health education we have received in our schools that has been primarily financed by the dairy and meat industries so we will buy their products. Please know that this "education" we take as the truth is directly contrary to our 3." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
| "Almost all people are wrong in thinking that they breathe correctly, "as they have always done," but they are not aware of being in a cage, made of a rigid bodily armor, that is the result of previous unobserved psychosomatic reactions and all the emotions and feelings imprisoned deep down at the bottom of their consciousness. That's the reason why, when someone starts breathing fully with his lungs and "being" he is "born again."
Many occidental schools on breathing take their name from such processes as Rebirthing and Vivation." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)
| "In the language of Indian philosophy, they have come to know that Atman, the consciousness that manifests within us all, is Brahman, the source and essence of all Creation.
The vast majority of us may still be far from such realization. But it is the direction we are headed in, both as individuals and as a species. And, as we have seen, there are good reasons to believe that our inner awakening need not take a lot of time. We could, if we put our minds to it, find ourselves fulfilling this inner quest within a century or so —or even less.
Then Brahman would know Itself in all Its dimensions." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)
| "Those old memories flared into consciousness whenever Matthew got into trouble.
Larry was also suspicious about the fact that Matthew's school, like most others, received extra federal and state aid for every ADHD child who was diagnosed and medicated. He had also learned that parents on welfare got more money when their kids were diagnosed and drugged. This was reasonable on one level, but it didn't offer any economic incentive for recovery-only for illness." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)
| "All that I am aware of are various aspects of my self that the light of consciousness happens to fall upon —my personality, character, memories, ambitions, habits, beliefs, feelings, intelligence, failings, and so on. Try as I may, I cannot find the source of that light. I cannot find the source of my own experience, the unchanging, permanent core of my being.
Because the essence of I-ness is so hard to describe and define, we identify ourselves with the more tangible aspects—with our physical form, our personality, our profession, our position, our past, our potential, and so on." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)
| "If you believe in changes and possibilities in your life, and the power of consciousness offers you the capability to improve and change your situation, then please use the principles of the Power Vision System with trust and perseverance.
3. When I train while reading, I'm not able to make automatic focusing happen, despite the fact that I follow your instructions.
There are two possible reasons: a." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)
"This method is used in Rebirthing, Vivation, and olotropic respiration in order to lead a person into unordinary states of consciousness and further to lead him to a transpersonal sphere.
"Correcting" lenses: Ordinarily prescribed lenses for full (and transient) correction of any visual error.
CRB movement: Specific movement that allows us to stimulate and induce the process of accommodation by muscular work."

| "Use your head to save your brain
When exercising, you must be sure to protect against head injury, which increases the risk of accelerated brain aging, especially when there is loss of consciousness or when the injured person is older than seventy. Head injuries at any age can be detrimental to neurons. It is advisable for those who exercise to wear protective headgear or helmets when playing sports and riding bicycles. And it goes without saying that all readers should wear their car safety belts religiously.
Bike helmets are a cheap, simple, and inexpensive way to protect against dementia." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)
"Freud's theory revolutionized the study of neurosis by attributing symptoms of psychiatric diseases to the mysterious workings of the unconscious and suggesting that those neuroses could be treated by bringing unconscious wishes and repressed memories to consciousness through psychoanalytic treatment.
Freudian theory represented direct opposition to Alzheimer's and Kraepelin's organic-based psychiatric views.15 For them, neurological illnesses had a purely organic basis that could be ascertained by means of scientific inquiry."
