Who wins?

Part of you has been looking for and waiting for this book, which brings together in one place everything you need to know, which provides you with the tools to evaluate new ideas, and which gives you an action plan enabling you to move forward definitively and break free from the consensus trance.

At the same time, there is another part of you that most certainly does not want to see or know what is in this book – it will call into question some treasured assumptions, cast doubt on well-established habits, and suggest avoiding things you really like. And Free Will means you have a perfect right not to know things if you don't want to.

Which part of you will win?

~~~

The author would encourage you NOT just blindly to accept what is written here as the truth. That would be an error of judgment. That is not to say that the ideas presented here are not true, but that you must weigh them up, meditate upon them, and decide for yourself in the light of your intuition and inner feelings, whether or not these words "feel" true for you.

If people begin to understand that change comes about as a result of a million tiny acts that seem totally insignificant, well then, they wouldn't hesitate to take those tiny acts. – Howard Zinn

Dear Reader:

There are lots of links in this book – giving you tons of background, backup, and further information. First time through, it's probably best to ignore them so that you get the big picture. It's your call.  
TinyURLs: as eBooks are sold by many different retailers, we cannot direct you to any particular one to source the books referred to in the text. Instead, the TinyURLs link you to an anonymous search engine with the book details pre-entered. This will help you find the most appropriate supplier for you.

The author is not a doctor or a scientist, but has always been involved in teaching and giving people information that helps them realize their true potential. He does not seek to persuade or convince, but only to draw attention to certain ideas.

Also, everybody he has spoken to has encouraged him to get the information 'out there' as soon as possible. eBooks are a wonderful medium since the reader is entitled to the latest version or revision of the book so that further links and references can be added. This book is therefore work in progress. Feedback would be welcomed.

# Unsuspected Toxins

There are many elements in your life which you –as a young person - take completely for granted. You believe these things are normal, essential and good for you - or at least neutral to your well-being.

You believe this because you are being - and have been - misinformed, misguided and misled about what is good for you and what is bad for you in all areas of your life, and you are simply not being told about a host of other things that could make life better.

You are being misguided by people who are sincere... but sincerely wrong.

These people may be your parents, your friends, your family or your teachers. They are doing their best and they sincerely want the best for you. They are normally passing on advice, assumptions and a routine which they in turn have received and accepted – normally without reflection. They are generally well-meaning, kind and good-natured.

(Some advice, of course, for example from government or industry, may have another agenda – such as profit, addiction or control.)

As a result of this well-intentioned but largely incorrect mass of advice and misinformation, you are being robbed of looking and feeling better and healthier, thinking faster and more clearly, and making more progress towards realising your true potential. You are being poisoned and are poisoning yourself physically, mentally and spiritually by many of the elements in your everyday life. At the same time you are not getting the things that would nourish you.

The author feels that this is not fair. If you have been told everything you need to know accurately and clearly, then you can make your own decisions. If you have been misinformed about what is good for you and what is bad for you, you cannot make wise choices.

Accepting one true statement into your belief system can cause a total realignment of that belief system.

In this book we are going to be talking about good and bad things as being Toxins or Nutrients, and toxicity and nutrition. Toxins are elements in your life or in your environment that are not good for you. They poison your body, they cloud your thinking and they weigh down your spirit. Nutrients are elements in your life or in your environment that are good for you. They nourish and heal your body, they give clarity to your thinking and they lift your spirit.

Of course, you already know about one or more of these elements, but the tendency is to focus on only one, to think that it is really too small and freaky to take seriously and to ignore the bigger picture.

The bigger picture is that you are exposed every day to hundreds of 'toxic encounters', individually perhaps too small to matter, but collectively way over what we are going to call your toxicity threshold - what your body can deal with using its natural and wonderful detoxifying processes.

At the same time, what we take to nourish ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually (apart from _itself_ often containing toxins) is more and more frequently deficient in nutrients. What we are faced with is deficiency and toxicity, and this combination is at the root of physical, mental and spiritual malaise.

Don't underestimate how much damage these toxic encounters can do - all together - over time  
And don't underestimate how far off being in any way properly nourished most of you are!

We are looking at a massive assault on health, well-being and longevity from the accumulation of seemingly too-small-to-worry-about toxic encounters in everyday life.

There are seven areas of your life where these things are grouped, so we use a **7-sided shape – the Heptagon** – to act as a focus, with one side for each area.

The areas are Food and Drink, Medicines and Cosmetics, Air Pollution, Electro-Magnetic Fields, Music, Media, and Education and Socialisation – with Government playing a supporting role in the centre. We use this shape as a mnemonic, to help remind you of the different areas. (You could also use the shape or a badge this shape to help identify yourself and others as taking part in the Heptagon Protocol! You could become a Heptag **an**!)

The model we are working on is that the wonderful human body is designed to deal with toxins and detoxify itself naturally, but that in the modern world the original system is overwhelmed by the sheer quantity and variety we expose ourselves to.

So this book suggests a radical, in-depth, eye-opening **Heptagon Protocol** to allow you – if you want – to choose to move away from the toxins and move towards the nutrients. Or at least to give you a good idea of how far things have gone. If you want to take action, you can start doing this straight away, without needing any permission from anyone and whatever age you are. (If you are in any way actually unwell, you could probably also be treating yourself quickly and easily.) Also, by what you learn and your example, you can help greatly people around you - by giving these benefits to yourself, you give them to society and the world.

To find your way through all this apparent complexity of toxins and nutrients, we suggest a reliable compass.

# Your Compass

Apart from the people who are 'sincerely wrong' and have your well-being at heart, there are many who are more interested in profit or control. When evaluating material such as we will be looking at, the method you have been brought up and trained to use – the **Logical Approach** using facts, reason, analysis in the left brain – is ineffectual, partly because of the sheer volume of data, but also because of the unreliability of the data due to shills, study design and methodology, product defence companies, conflicts of interest and revolving doors. (See Definitions)

~~~  
False information – false results  
Baron Harkonnen - Dune  
~~~

What is needed is a quick and reliable way of assessing information and choosing a course of action.

No problem. You have a much-maligned under-used sense that is just what you need. You have your Intuition. Trust your own Intuition.

Where have you heard this before?

'Search your feelings Lord Vader – you will know it to be true.' Star Wars  
"Listen with your heart" Pocahontas  
"I usually trust my instincts" Tris- Insurgent

The Intuitive Approach: 'Right brain'

Intuition is your secret weapon. It cuts through what is misleading, it simplifies what is deliberately complicated, and is absolutely proof against propaganda and manipulation.

It is a sense that everyone possesses, but that is often undervalued, undeveloped and discouraged.

Your intuition is the sense that tells you what is true even when your rational mind denies it, or that prompts you to a choice without a logical path leading to it. It may be the result of the savant-like abilities of the right brain, flashing an insight into your awareness. It may come as inspiration does, not as a result of any sequential thought processes, giving you a solution to a problem - in your bed as you wake up, or in the bath or shower as you relax. It may come as the voice of conscience does, quietly yet unarguably - just knowing what is right.

It is often the still small voice, or the first thought following on the heels of some question you have posed yourself. It may be the first response you feel at the moment of meeting someone, that you like or trust him or her - or want nothing to do with that person! It is often followed closely by left-brain excuses, justifications, hesitations or programming, so you have to be alert and attentive.

~~~  
That army of yours, that the world with its devas cannot overcome, I will smash with discernment.  
Buddha  
~~~

If you deliberately apply your intuition to a topic, you are using **Discernment**. You do this by asking yourself a simple question and observing calmly the first response that comes into your mind. Being calm is important and it is useful to take one or two slow breaths first – particularly if the topic is an exciting or important one. The response you observe should leave you feeling calm too; a feeling of excitement often indicates the intrusion of left-brain egoic response. What you are looking for is an accompanying feeling of clarity and possibly joy, lightness or contentment.

The **simple question** you ask yourself could be:

Does that feel true?  
Does that resonate with something inside me?  
Is he or she speaking the truth?  
Does the speaker believe what he is saying?  
Which option would be right for me in the long run?  
Does this option make my heart sing or sink?

or they can be more specific:

Is my asthma connected to the consumption of dairy?

or they can be semi-humorous:

Would I buy a used car from this person?

(Try the 'Does that feel true?' question out on the next advertisement you see, or the next news item on TV.)

If you find yourself unable to feel clearly your response, try again a bit later. Try to make sure that you are somewhere calm, possibly in nature, and not under the influence of coffee, alcohol or EMFs.

With practice, of course, you will become adept at using your Discernment. Use it for everything you read in this book – and all the messages and information you are exposed to in everyday life. Given the subject matter of this book, you may wish to apply your discernment not only to the book itself, but also to reviews it gets. Enjoy using your discernment and have confidence in what it tells you!

A very powerful focus for your discernment is this simple question:

Who does it serve?

For example:

Who does it serve if I consume or don't consume something?  
Who does it serve if I believe this or that statement?  
Who does it serve if I am told or not told something?  
Who does it serve if the population is unhealthy, on medication and not very bright?

or

Who would it not serve if I knew the real causes of poverty?  
Who would it not serve if I took all my money out of the bank?  
Who would it not serve if I knew and acted upon all the stuff in this book?

or

Does this product serve my health and well-being, or the profits of the producing industry?

We will re-visit this important question as we move through the different areas as well as suggesting other focuses for your Discernment.

('Who does it serve?' is similar in function and result to 'Follow the money', but casts the net wider.)

Use the techniques above for discernment, and listen as the answers come. Keep calm. Just move gently away from those things you feel do not serve **you**. (See Action Plan)

The layout of this book is, in general:

Statement & Brief explanation &/or Link

You will often find that the **statement** alone corresponds to your intuitive feeling of what is true. That may be enough for you to incorporate it in your view of the world and take action accordingly

The **explanation** can give extra useful information, as can the **links** and references, giving you material for more left-brain analysis, and bolstering – or testing – the confidence you have in your intuitive response. And if you are following links, you will need Discernment to feel which sources to trust!

(Reapply your discernment to people and sources from time to time. YouTubers sometimes go off beam when they get sponsorship; trusted sites start advertising random stuff you don't need. Do things still ring true? Check also things that are much hyped and things that are free.)

What we are suggesting is a direct, intuitive perception of - and feeling for - the truth. There is no reason anyone should wish you not to use such an approach, although it is of course outside their control. This book's intention is to present points of view to which you are invited to apply your intuition. These are what we call Discernment Foci or Focuses.

If you take nothing else from this book but an understanding and use of your intuition, you will be rich.

'The test, is this:  
In the face of a challenge, who do you trust?  
Do you trust what the "outside world" is showing you?  
Or, do you hold fast to that which "feels" like Truth, deep within you?  
That is something you can only answer for yourself.'

Not forgetting –

The Empirical Approach.

You can just try it out.

You simply make some changes suggested in this book and see how you feel. If, after two or three weeks, you do not see and feel a difference, go back to what you were doing before. For this approach to bear fruit, you do need to make some significant changes and not just tinker with detail. For example, going from four glasses of milk a day down to three is not the idea; cutting out dairy completely for a fortnight is.

# Buts!

Before we move on to the Heptagon Protocol and look at its seven different 'sides', you may want to ready yourself for what is to come by looking at the most common 'Buts' in this section and some other Obstacles in the next. Or go straight on to the Heptagon Protocol and come back here when you have a 'But...' of your own to check out.

"I don't need to worry about these things yet – or at all!"

See Obstacles below for 'Will you last as long as your parents?'

"This includes absolutely everything!"

As you read this book you are bound to feel, almost from the word 'Go' that it touches every aspect of our lives. Does that mean that we are being ridiculously fanatical and paranoid about things that don't really matter and have just somehow got that way? Or does it mean that the trap is almost closed on us, that the strands of the web we are eagerly winding ourselves in are almost completely enveloping? It's your call, but poison is poison even if it is very slow and made to seem sweet and desirable. Remember again: you don't have to change everything all at once.

"First it's bad for you, then it's good for you, then it's bad for you - make up your mind!"

This is handy, because in the meantime you can keep using it and someone can keep selling it. We may half-welcome the uncertainty, but the producers are certainly well served by it. (See Product Defence below)

"This is all too negative"

A lot of this book is about things that are not good for you, and in some cases we draw your attention to the possible motivations of people involved in their supply, to help you understand how we come to be in this situation. But we do not want to focus too much on the negative or give it energy by fighting it. The idea is to become aware of the negative to make choices to avoid it, but then focus on the positive. See Action Plan.

"They're only small doses"

As you go through the different sections in this book looking at this or that toxic element (many of them you know of already of course), you will find yourself telling yourself that 'they are only small doses'. And it is true - they are only small doses, but with so many of these 'small doses', together with the interactions between them and the synergy involved, with multiple consumption routes, over time and with individual allergies, you are looking at a massive assault on your health and well-being. Don't underestimate the overall effect: slow poisoning.

"I don't want to be a Health Freak" (aka Orthorexia)

Avoiding things that are not good for you no more makes you a health freak or paranoid than using or eating them makes you an Illness Freak.

Orthorexia is a proposed eating or mental disorder characterized by an 'extreme or excessive preoccupation with avoiding foods perceived to be unhealthy'.  
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_food>  
This is a more academic version of 'health freak' and rather depends on whether foods **are,** in fact, unhealthy. Clearly, if they are unhealthy, no degree of preoccupation could really be described as extreme.

"You can't avoid all these things without going to the top of a mountain or the depths of a forest."

This is true, but you do not need to avoid _all_ of these things - just some of them. Because of the Synergy involved even making small changes will be to your benefit. (This 'Can't be done!' reaction is often characteristic of those who at some level wish to continue as at present.)

"I do it because I like it" or "Yes, but . . . Yum!"

If you love your cola, or your burger, or your smart phone or whatever – don't worry! Nobody is suggesting that you give it up completely straight away (although that is an option some will choose) Rather it is:

1 becoming aware of the negative effect it is having on you so that you can make an informed choice about its effect on your threshold management, and

2 becoming aware of why exactly it is that you like it. Is it an addiction, a craving, programming, or just better than the alternatives? Does it make a difference knowing that it is, or may be, bad for you? Does it make a difference knowing that it has – in most cases - been carefully and at great cost designed to exploit your natural tastes and programming? That someone somewhere is laughing up their well-tailored sleeve at your every puff, sip, nibble. or click?

"It's normal to get ill and go gaga as you get older"

It's true that we accept as normal people getting ill as they get older, but the true cause - deficiency and toxicity - of many of the afflictions we see is 'cloaked by old age' and the same applies to the loss of mobility, memory and so on. The examples you hear of people living to 110 with full use of their faculties is treated as an exception rather than a possible norm. (See Concept Placement)

"I've got more important or enjoyable things to do" or "I've got to get on with life" or "I don't have time right now"

Earning money, passing exams, playing sports... Whatever things you have to do, you will do them more easily if you are fit and well with a clear head and no fear. Some things that weigh heavily on your mind may lose their power to enslave you as you avoid toxins and embrace nutrients

"Where do these things fit?" "So what now?" "What can I do with this knowledge?"

A lot of the information in this book does not readily fit with what you have learned and taken for granted until now. It will take a little time for your mind to integrate it into your world view, and change might be slow. The grip of the consensus trance is very strong. Hold onto any truth you feel you have perceived, as time and repetition are needed for new synapses to develop (both in the individual and in the collective mind).

"There is no sign it's doing me harm!"

There is often nothing _obvious and immediate_ to show for your toxic encounter – otherwise of course you would have realised before and done something about it. Sometimes you feel better after exposure (think nicotine or masked allergies), often they are slow poisons which will take years to bring you down; that does not mean they are not worth avoiding starting now.

"I'd rather die than give up x, y or z!"

This is a perfectly valid reaction if x, y or z means so much to you. But never forget you actually have a choice.

"It's not my fault"

It is partly – because someone has to buy that stuff, and if nobody did, it wouldn't be there. And there's something called 'creation by acquiescence' to muse on.  
eg Tomatoes: The consumer demands large, shiny, unblemished produce of regular shape. To satisfy these desires, agricultural chemicals which were not used five or six years ago have come rapidly into use.

"I wish I had known all this years ago!"

This book is aimed at younger readers for whom years ago would have been very young, but if you are a little – or a lot – older and have found your way here, do not despair. The majority of ills which flesh is (supposedly) heir to, can be slowed, halted or reversed by the Heptagon Protocol proposed here. For best results, the change is a life-change, rather than a gentle tweak, and not all the damage done can be undone. But it's definitely worth a try and can do no harm!

"Reading all the labels and small print on food and cosmetics is a real nuisance!"

Yes, but you only have to do it once. When you have established the level of avoidance you want, you can relax into your new routine. (You still have to check from time to time, because manufacturers sometimes change their ingredients – sugar suddenly appears in your favourite soya milk, or a new name is thought up for the MSG or the sweetener you are avoiding.). And the healthiest foods in the supermarkets don't even have ingredient lists.

"You can't fight it." or "You can't change the system."

Yes, you can. That is precisely what you can do. Easily, quickly, and for the good of all. See Action Plan. And to help the system to change faster, we will drain away the Fear that is so toxic. Remember how quickly the Berlin Wall came down!

"This is inviting doubt and distrust of everything and everyone."

Only in so far as it draws attention to misinformation and lack of information. Both of these would rightly result in doubt and distrust in the future. But the idea is really to invite Understanding and Discernment.

"If these things were true, we'd have been told"

Would you? Why?  
Those who _would_ tell you, don't know - the "sincerely wrong" above.  
And those who know, wouldn't tell you – or cannot safely tell you. The manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, advertisers and media have another agenda based on the profit motive.

Even if you were - are - told, the Obstacles in the next section could still hold you back...

# Obstacles to Heptaganism

or 'I wouldn't start from here!'

You have now seen the scope for improvement in your experience of life, and faced some of the objections. You know how to use your intuition to feel your way through the maze of often conflicting information, and can apply the discernment focus 'Who does it serve?'

What obstacles might there now be to your taking this further? What could make it difficult to do this?

Obstacle 1: Yourself – Why bother? or Will you last as long as your parents?

Depending on your age and health, everything here may seem pretty irrelevant, and if you are in reasonable health in mind, body and spirit, you might as well carry on as you are. Mightn't you?

You may feel that you are doing fine because you have totally bought into the accepted expectations. You feel it is normal that there are limits on your memory and mental capacity, on your physical body and its condition.

~~~  
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they are yours.  
Richard Bach  
~~~

Just bear in mind that – as we outline under Toxicity Threshold – if you are over your threshold things are steadily weighing down your system, reducing the quality and length of your life.

Just from a dietary and medical point of view, for those on standard omnivorous diets, "Almost all persons have aortic fatty streaks by age 10" (the first stage of atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries) and then plaques start forming in your 20s. **For anyone over the age of 10, the question is not whether you want to eat healthily to prevent heart disease, but whether you want to reverse the heart disease you already have.**

One reason for bothering, then, is to heal anything that is already wrong with you (but perhaps not showing yet) and to make sure that the decline we take for granted in older people does not happen to you - that you avoid the diseases and illnesses that are cloaked by old age. The grand plan is that the body's own healing mechanism will keep you going in fine form much longer than we have got used to thinking.

Another reason for bothering is – if you want to put it like that – that you are being **had for a sucker** and being totally exploited! Take control of your life with what you now know!

Obstacle 2: Yourself – Your toxic load

If you want to follow the Heptagon Protocol, you'll need to take stock. Where are you now? Where are you starting from? Look in the mirror. If you are, say, 17 years old, you have been

1. Brought up by your parents in society for 17 years  
2. Programmed by advertising and the media for 15 years  
3. Moulded by the education system for 11 years  
4. Fed, vaccinated, and subjected to a whole range of treatments, chemicals and other influences.

As a result you have some very strong habits, thought patterns and addictions. Actions that seem normal, habits of obedience and respect for authority, ways of thinking that fit in, and foods whose goodness you take for granted. Do you – unconditionally – want to move on?

Obstacle 3: Society – The Consensus Trance

Look about you. Everybody else is eating, taking and doing the things we will be looking at here and conformity is comfortable. (See a humorous example: <https://xkcd.com/1534/> )

It is easier to remain in what is called the 'Consensus Trance', where you behave as if in a trance – not acting spontaneously, intuitively, creatively or even rationally – going along with what you understand, or are told, is the generally accepted way of doing things or reasons things are as they are. Distractions (see below) help to keep you there, as do many of the toxins mentioned in this book

If you start to do things differently or try to wake others up from the trance – beware. One of the most powerful weapons in the consensus arsenal is the epithet.

Obstacle 4: Society – Social Pressure and The Mighty Epithet!

The people who really control your life are not the 'secret rulers' of the world or some tyrannical dictator, but your friends on facebook or your mates at work or at school. They, and your family, will quickly spot if you make significant changes in your diet, watch fewer violent movies, have your phone on airplane mode, or sit still with your eyes closed.

The main control mechanism of the peer group and society is the dismissive epithet. These are very effective in keeping others in line – they are simple, can be passed off as humorous, remind you of the norms of your group, and reassure the user of the normality of his or her position.

So, if you start eating salad and carrots, raw vegetables or bananas, don't be surprised to be asked why you are **eating rabbit food** , or if you have **turned into a monkey**. If you refuse an unhealthy meal you will be dubbed a **health freak** , any perfectly sound alternative to medication is **quackery** , and meditation and yoga is **mumbo-jumbo** or the sign of a cult. Any analysis, rigorous or not, resulting in alternative views that do not reinforce the consensus trance – and particularly if they go contrary to the vested interests – invites being **debunked**. This implies that the facts, or the rational bases of the proposition, have been shown to be false. Once this label or epithet has been applied, people feel no need to apply their own intellect to the facts. The epithet has effectively neutralised the unsettling topic, and the boat has not been rocked.

The ultimate epithet is reserved for the most serious potential threat to the consensus which is to question the motivations and actions of those at the top. Anything that does this is dubbed a **conspiracy theory** and whatever is so described becomes at once both not worthy of attention and taboo. This one epithet is very powerful in silencing dissenting opinions and preventing the questioning of the actions of the ruling group. It is intellectual trickery and is fortunately ineffective in the face of intuition and discernment.

~~~  
Conspiracy Theory is a Concept Condom – to stop ideas reaching the brain!  
Unprotected thought is much more fruitful  
~~~  
Conspiracy theories debunked! It has been scientifically proven that there is no such thing as a conspiracy theory. There are only topics you are not supposed to even think about. They are only socially taboo subjects - made so by the media and the user of the label.  
~~~

CT involves three things: planning together (in board rooms or in secure facilities – caves don't count), a motive (profit, political goal), and detriment (financial, health, life)

In fact, in most cases, we do not need this concept at all since the majority of situations to which it is applied can be simply explained by groups of people or corporations seeking to maximise profit. This is accepted as normal even though it is normally to the detriment of the consumer, and nobody would dream of calling it a conspiracy theory if you said that Company X was trying to make as much profit as possible. What seems to be important is the degree of detriment; does the consumer simply have to spend more money than before, does she lose reliability in the product with planned obsolescence, is the item less nourishing because of changed ingredients? Or are some ingredients suspected of being harmful? (additives or sweeteners, health warnings) Or are some ingredients known to be harmful? (alcohol, nicotine, recreational drugs {but there is a demand!})

So to trigger a CT accusation you have to suggest that the planners are maximising profit or seeking a political advantage by causing deliberate harm to the consumer or the constituent. Causing deliberate harm is either outside our consciousness or so profoundly unsettling that it cannot be entertained. 'Who would wish – and why? – to cause moderate harm over the long term, or extreme harm in the short term, to large groups of people? Don't make me think about that, please!' That's how it works.

Obstacle 5: Society – Types of Distraction

Distractions abound. Like the bread and circuses of Ancient Rome, distractions (a new OS, the latest Bond, a new episode of your favourite TV series) or the latest scare (bird flu, terrorism, ebola, Zika 2016  http://vaccineimpact.com/2016/zika-a-real-threat-or-another-hoax-to-promote-a-new-blockbuster-vaccine/ ISIS) all serve to stop you thinking of important things. Often the distractions are not even very exciting or interesting, but simply addictive and left-brain – like crosswords, puzzles and Sudoku!

A Worthwhile Distraction is one you might not think of as distracting you, it could even be one of the areas covered in this book. As we have said, the idea of this book is to identify those things which you feel do not serve you and to move away from them, but you might, as it were, build a corner in an area you feel strongly about – food, phones, or pharmaceuticals – and give that area too much of your energy; it therefore distracts you from the overall picture.

Conjuror's Distractions are another variety to be aware of. A conjuror often misdirects the audience, causing them to watch what he is doing with his right hand, while using his left hand to do something important to the trick. In the same way, you may see in the media a little storm of some sort about a celebrity or a scandal or a tax rise which attracts the attention of all the media while something more important or more contentious is quietly set in place or completed.

Your favourite distraction? Look at how you spend your time. Is it on computer games (with violence as recreation and entertainment?), Netflix, music, shopping, your smartphone or facebook.

Who does it serve that the brightest and best young people dull their perception, damage their health and fritter away their time during the most potentially creative and energetic part of their life? When there is a whole inner world to explore, a range of incredible abilities waiting to be developed (which would put the latest OS in the shade, but which are undermined by computer use), and an entire planet to get to know and clean up.

It may help to think of violent computer games, low quality movies and facebook as junk food. You would hesitate to subject your body to unhealthy fats and sugars – use the same yardstick elsewhere in your life. Is it nourishing for the mind? Do I want these images in my memory? How will it help me to grow? Does it help other people? (See also the Poisoned Apple Approach below)

Remember also that the games have been carefully designed to exploit typical likes and preferences of your age group or sex, and also to tread a fine line between what is ok and what obviously is not. (It's ok to shoot baddies or zombies – but they are – or were! – people too.) The games are also more exciting than real life – and selectively target intelligent individuals (left brain?) with a drive to fight baddies?

# Sources of Toxins – The Heptagon Protocol

What we are looking at with the Heptagon Protocol is an Intuitive and Discerning view of elements of the current paradigm in which you identify for yourself what serves you and what does not serve you. This is followed by a gentle, peaceful and remorseless shunning of what is felt to be negative, a boycotting of toxic things, activities and people, leading inexorably to enhanced bodies, minds and spirits – and a Global Detox.  
(More details in the Action Plan)

The plan, then, is to be aware of the **sources of toxins in each of the 7 areas** so that you can avoid them if you want, to **detox** any already taken on board, and to know the sources of **nutrients**. But first, some important concepts.

Discernment Focuses / Foci

Please consider the statements which follow throughout the book – sometimes quite dogmatic! – as focuses for your own Discernment. Different people have different life plans and beliefs, different genes or genetic predispositions, different combinations of exposures. What may be vital for one person to Reduce, Replace or Refuse may not matter for you.

Toxic Encounters

An interesting exercise is to spot the Toxic Encounters you have during the day. It's easy – and normal - to go over your toxicity threshold – shower gel, deodorant, breakfast cereal, milk...and the day is hardly started. It's equally easy to be low on nutrients.

How to cope

Diet practitioners have found that rather than say to yourself 'I want that but I can't have it' say 'I can have that, but I don't want it'. Others suggest that rather than trying to give something up, just bring in the good stuff. What is less good will soon lose its place.

We suggest a flexible approach, depending on your strength of feeling, called the 3Rs  
**Reduce, Replace, and Refuse – so you '3R' something.  
~~~**

Caveat

Bear in mind, as you notice the reactions of those around you to any changes you might feel to make, that it is not easy for **them**. They see a person they like or love changing in ways that seem strange, risky or antisocial and they resist that change. They may well feel judged – if you change a behaviour they share, they may think that you want them to change too, or that you have a negative opinion of them. It may – sadly - be easier not to go into too much detail about what you are doing or why you are doing it.

Juicy apple – but poisoned!

In the fairy story, the Witch offered Snow White a juicy red apple. It looked great and was really tempting – but it was poisoned. Many of the toxins we are looking at here come in an equally attractive form - designed to appeal to your natural human appetites and preferences, or to your conditioning and programming. It might be OGM food designed to look and feel attractive, it might be a new electronic gizmo offering more features, or a much-hyped movie with well-known actors or actresses.

When you are watching Snow White it's easy to see what does not serve her and you want to scream at her not to take the apple. Your discernment and intuition are often offering the same advice – your job now is to recognise when that is. Spot the poisoned apples!

~~~  
True, the white man brought great change. But the varied fruits of his civilization, though highly colored and inviting, are sickening and deadening. _Chief Luther Standing Bear

Here, then are the Seven Sides of the Heptagon – in fact, as you will see, seven plus one.

Source of Toxins: Food and Drink

Hold onto your hats! A lot of what we are going to be looking at in this section is very different from what we have all been brought up to believe, and goes against some very strong and comforting habits we all have. It also goes against very well funded and convincing vested interests, as well as the pressures of peer groups and society.  
Also, with Food and Drink you cannot press PAUSE as you think and feel your way through the material; the next mealtime approaches even as you read. Will what you read here make any difference to what you eat and drink?

In this section we are looking at what you eat and drink to nourish, fuel, repair and replace the hundred trillion cells that make up your physical body. To do this your diet needs to contain adequate quantities of protein, water, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, oils, and fibre – in forms as easily usable by the body as possible.

The original source of everything your body needs is the Plant Cell. Whether you eat this directly, or eat an animal that has eaten it, is a choice to be made. There is no need to pass your nutrients through the biochemistry of another species.

Remember, the idea is to minimise toxins and maximise nutrients (to remedy Toxicity and Deficiency), and you can do this by reducing, replacing and refusing the following

Certain foods  
Things added to foods  
Ways of preparing foods  
Foods that are not foods  
Ways of eating and drinking

Certain foods

There is a whole group of foods for your discernment, not only unsuspected by most people but thought of as benign or even vital to your well-being: foods containing animal protein and animal fat.

**Meat**. Meat of all kinds, from beef to chicken, from lobster to tuna. You do not need meat to live healthily, to grow big and strong, to do sport or to lift weights. What you have learned and continue to be told is not true. It does not need to be part of your diet, and it brings with it many problems – because of the type of protein, because of the concentration of protein, because of what happens to it when it is cooked or processed, because of the chemicals and drugs given to the animals before slaughter, because of the chemicals released by the animal responding to fear at the time of slaughter, because of the link between red meat and cancer of the colon, because of the bacteria present, because of the fat present (even in lean meat) – and possibly also because of the environmental impact (One hamburger = 660 gallons or 3000 litres of fresh water – equal to showering for 2 months, so it is not the odd dripping tap that is the problem!) And 91% of Amazon rainforest destruction is for animal agriculture: feed and grazing. See Cowspiracy here  
<http://www.cowspiracy.com/> )

As we saw above, you need protein - but protein from plant-based sources is without the myriad health downsides and is more easily used by the body – it is more bio-available.

**Eggs**. Eggs do not need to be part of your diet, and bring with them the same problems of protein type and concentration as well as a high cholesterol and choline content. (They may also contain drugs given to the hens and are sometimes contaminated with bacteria.)  
 http://nutritionfacts.org/2015/03/26/peeks-behind-the-egg-industry-curtain/

**Milk and Dairy**. Milk – (aka a "growth-promoting signalling system")  
<http://tinyurl.com/jmq95yy>  
does not need to be part of your diet and may bring with it many problems. Milk is inevitable associated with mothers' milk as being good for you without question, but there are two things. One is that once a child is weaned it normally loses the ability to digest milk – this is natural. Continuing to drink milk is unnatural. The other is that cow's milk is intended for another species – for a calf, obviously. If you are a calf, drink milk. If not, don't.

High milk consumption is linked with the incidence of Type 1 youth-onset Diabetes, with acne, with constipation, with asthma, with premature puberty, with osteoporosis, digestive problems including ulcerative colitis and many other ills. (Dairy includes butter and cheese – and even milk chocolate!) Many people think that milk is an ideal source of calcium, which of course we all need. The smart solution is to get the calcium directly, from the same place the cow got it – by eating a plant-based diet!

~~~  
"...no dairy or meat products after the age of two"  
Dr Benjamin Spock  
~~~

**Alternatives**. Before moving on from animal protein, it is worth looking quickly at the alternatives. A good route away from animal products is undoubtedly soy which has been a natural part of the diet in the east for thousands of years. Note, though, that this has been in the form of fermented soy products. Do make sure, as well, that the soy is not genetically modified, and is if possible organic.

As a replacement for cow's milk there are also rice, oat and other cereal milks and nut milks. They normally take a little getting used to, but once you are used to them it's the cow's milk that tastes weird!

(There are three possible reasons for moving away from animal products. The one we are looking at here is the toxic effect they have on you. There is also the toxic effect they have on the planet – see Cowspiracy below. There is also the toxic effect eating them has on the animals themselves!)

A video that may be of interest on Food that Kills by Dr Michael Klaper:  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNCGkprGW_o>

Things added to foods to make them grow, last, and sell.

_Before:_ Fertilisers, pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides are routinely used in the growth of fruit and vegetables. Growth hormone and antibiotics are often given to livestock (in the USA nearly 80% of all antibiotics are given to livestock) and these chemicals can also be found in milk, butter and cheese. (Milk may also contain pus.) Livestock may also be fed with crop residues or stubble of chemically-treated cereal, fruit and vegetables.

Favour organic produce. (And wash your hands after handling raw meat to avoid C diff or MRSA)

_After:_ Additives such as preservatives, colourings and flavour enhancers are routinely added to make food look better, taste better or last longer. Some of these are well-known to cause hyper-activity or attention problems in young people, some of them may derive from animal sources, and the flavour enhancer known as MSG – monosodium glutamate (but it has many different names  
<http://foodidentitytheft.com/culprits/msg/> ) or  
 http://www.hungryforchange.tv/article/sneaky-names-for-msg-check-your-labels  
\- is one you might particularly wish to avoid as it is used specifically to induce obesity in laboratory animals. More details on hidden ingredients here:  
<http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html>  
Phosphate – added to meat and cola – is also to be avoided  
 http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-meat-purge-and-cola/

The fewer additives, the better – but perhaps the less yummy and colourful!

Salt  
 http://nutritionfacts.org/video/big-salt-getting-to-the-meat-of-the-matter/

Ways of preparing foods

Most of the time we reduce the nutritional value of our food before we eat it – by cooking. This is because in raw food - in addition to the protein, vitamins and minerals - there are enzymes. These active chemical elements play an important part in the recognition, digestion and assimilation of food from the moment you put it in your mouth, and heating the food above 140 degrees does not kill them, for they are not alive, but deactivates them, removing the vitality from your food.

(If juicing fruit and vegetables, the enzymes are probably deactivated by the friction of centrifugal juicers (see below), and by oxidation if the juice is left to stand. If cooking vegetables, there is little point in leaving them al dente – the enzymes are already 'dead' so you might as well cook until soft and they are easier to digest.)

If you cannot put cooked food in the compost, what does that tell you?  
 https://www.growveg.com/guides/bokashi-composting-cooked-food-waste-for-your-garden/

It is probably the lack of active enzymes in cooked food that causes the body to react to it as to an invader – the white blood cells of digestive leukocytosis attacking the foreign body. This can be prevented by having 50% uncooked food in your meal.

Cooking meat has another problem: conversion of amino acids into a carcinogen. And the browning of potatoes and carbohydrates into crisps, biscuits and snacks result in another carcinogen – acrylamide. Even heating the oil or butter for frying changes it into a less nutritious form.

You can see that 'His first hot meal for a week!' or 'Piping hot soup' may be very welcome in winter, but from a nutritional viewpoint the food is now lacking an important part – the enzymes.

<http://tinyurl.com/y8v7okhs>

Cooking with a _microwave_ also deprives you of enzyme content of course, but also denatures the protein content of the food. 3R anything heated with these methods. Microwave ovens were banned in Russia in 1976 because of the negative health consequences (although reprieved under Perestroika). People wearing pacemakers have to keep 2 feet from an induction hob, so that type of hob should be a focus for discernment too.

Probably best to avoid using aluminium cookware because of possible links with dementia (see also Medicine and Cosmetics), and non-stick pans (see Air Pollution).

Be aware that anything cooked, pasteurised, refined, irradiated or otherwise processed is going to be less nourishing than the unprocessed food, and extrusion brings other problems. Extrusion is involved in the production of corn or other **flakes, and puffed cereals** : the results are toxic. See: Rats and corn flakes study

Foods that are not foods

_Sugar_ is extracted from sugar cane or beet, and you would have to eat a lot of these foods to get the equivalent of the teaspoon you stir into your tea, or the 10 teaspoons (40 grams) in a can of soda. In this sense, refined sugar is not a natural food and it is a challenge to your body to deal with it. (Watch this video:  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaYa0AB8TQ> )  
If you have a sweet tooth, look for a replacement to what has been called 'Pure, White, and Deadly'. Honey is an obvious one (if you don't mind where the bees carry the stuff), rapadura may suit, or stevia, or xylotol. Of the artificial sweeteners there are two which you may wish to avoid – one of them in diet cola (the phosphoric acid in the same cola is not very good for your bone density either.) Do your research, read the labels, and keep abreast of the pseudonyms invented from time to time. These sweeteners can really affect negatively your health, your thinking and even your mood. More on aspartame here:  
<http://www.sweetpoison.com/>  
and here on why it does not make you slimmer  
 https://nutritionfacts.org/video/effect-of-sucralose-splenda-on-the-microbiome/  
and here  
<http://nutritionfacts.org/video/aspartame-and-the-brain/>

In the same way _white flour_ is refined from a natural grain but is without the nutritional value of the original cereal. The same is true of _corn syrup_ (from corn or maize) and _cocaine_ (from the coca leaf, which is good for tea). These isolates are not healthy choices.

Similarly, the extraction of _oils_ (from olive to groundnut) permits a level of consumption that is not healthy, particularly if the oils are used for cooking.

**GMO** food-like products, likewise, we suggest you Reduce, Replace or Refuse. A nice rap here

Mental Illness

Apart from what happens physically when you eat or drink certain things, you need to be aware of the possibility of mental consequences. Coffee, alcohol, and certain mushrooms are well known changers of mood or mental state. Less well known positive effects can come from cashews (for depression), niacin (ditto), and 7.2 servings of fruit (8.2 of vegetables) for well-being.  
<https://nutritionfacts.org/video/foods-increase-happiness/>

Negative mental consequences are as difficult as physical consequences to spot if the effect is not immediate, but inability to fully digest animal protein has been linked with schizophrenia and Dr Mackarness's famous patient Joanna's serious mental problems were linked with refined white flour.

 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/obituary-dr-richard-mackarness-1303347.html and <http://tinyurl.com/ydx7zlvd>

(See also colourings and additives above, and:  
Women whose diet includes more foods that trigger inflammation—like sugar-sweetened or diet soft drinks, refined grains, red meat, and margarine—and fewer foods that restrain inflammation—like wine, coffee, olive oil, and green leafy and yellow vegetables—have up to a 41% greater risk of being diagnosed with depression than those who eat mostly the less inflammatory diet, according to a new study by researchers at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). Since depression is also linked to social isolation, it may be that an inflammatory diet will reinforce the already isolating effect of social media and gaming.)

Help!

How on earth can I steer my way around such a complex toxic maze? It's quite simple. **Aim for a good proportion of raw, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, and other food that is as little processed as possible, and with as few additives as possible.** Also, be clear that everything your body needs comes originally from a plant cell, and it is your decision whether you eat that plant cell directly or whether you eat an animal that has eaten it. You have seen above that avoiding animal products gives your body an easier time. (And don't worry – you will get all the protein you need from a plant-based diet, and in a more bio-available form too. Ditto the calcium – you get it from the same place the largest land animals get it: from plants)

Organic or Conventional?

This makes it sound as if organic food is in some way special or unusual. Clearly, though, until about 60 years ago all food was produced without chemicals and everyone ate 'organic'. Since then our bodies have had to try to adapt to artificial fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. As an aside, you would think that food produced without these expensive chemicals would be less, not more, expensive! (This was also the opinion of Masanobu Fukuoka  
 (http://www.onestrawrevolution.net/One_Straw_Revolution/One-Straw_Revolution.html )  
in his book The One straw Revolution:  
 http://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Food/The-One-Straw-Revolution.pdf )

Choosing organic is good for avoiding chemical toxins, and - from the nutritional point of view \- while vitamin and mineral content is similar in both, there are more phytonutrients in organic food.

Ways of eating and drinking

How you eat it is really more to do with getting the maximum benefit from what you choose to nourish yourself.

All cultures have a custom of **giving thanks** before eating – to the food, the planet, a deity, or the cook! This not only has a good effect on the food (see Emoto  
<http://www.unitedearth.com.au/watercrystals.html>)  
but sets you right in yourself for the activity.

Ideally, **do nothing else** at the same time, like TV or texts, or reading. The food you are going to be eating after you have read this section deserves all your attention!

**Don't drink** with your meal. A glass of water half an hour before or after can help digestion, but no more than sips during.

' **Drink your food and eat your drink'**. When eating, don't swallow until the solid food is almost liquid. When drinking, keep the liquid in your mouth for a time to relish it. Babies tend to do this naturally until they learn to 'Eat up!' Eating slowly also allows time for the 'eaten enough' message to get through (if it has not been switched off by MSG) and for the 'what's coming' message from your mouth to reach your stomach.

The **order** you eat things in is important. Juices and soft fruits need to stay only a short time in your stomach before moving on to the small intestine. Carbohydrates and proteins need to stay much longer, and fruits eaten after them, and thus held up, will begin to ferment in the stomach. Fruit at the start of a meal, then.

Also important are the **combinations** of things you eat. If one element requires certain enzymes for digestion and the other does not, your clever digestion has a bit of a problem on its hands. Order and combination often explain habitual digestive problems or upsets.

Bon appétit! or Bonne Chance?

Here's a test.

If you are still hungry after eating, either you ate too fast (see above) or the food you ate was low in nutrients. (Nutrient-lite)

If you find yourself eating faster and more than normal, suspect an additive, perhaps MSG

If you could eat "the same all over again!" – (if we are talking about a normal portion of processed or fast food) congratulate the food chemists.

If it isn't very interesting without salt, oil, sugar or sauce, it probably isn't very nutritious.

~~~  
You don't need superfoods – you just need super food.  
~~~

Water can of course be drunk as the fluid content of fruits and vegetables, in juices or smoothies, and in many of the foods you eat (see below).

The recommended amount per day is 5 to 10 cups for women and 6 to 11 for men. You can also check out this site  
<http://www.watercure.com/> .

Many people are mildly dehydrated and ensuring adequate hydration is very important.

In passing, you should know that tea is as good as water for hydration purposes and you can drink as much green tea as you like. Black tea, on the other hand, depending on the origin, should be limited to three cups a day to avoid excessive lead.  
<https://nutritionfacts.org/video/lead-contamination-of-tea/>

Tap water contains chlorine, sometimes fluoride, sometimes chemicals from local agriculture, sometimes medicaments which are not filtered by the system. It is arguably a more ecological choice than bottled water and avoids plastic contamination from plastic bottles. It is your call. Tap water left to stand will outgas the chlorine, and a charcoal filter will remove many contaminants. You could also consider reverse-osmosis purifiers, a distillation unit, or live water from a stream... (Be careful, of course, of local agriculture run-off)

A more complex source of water, which is also nutritious, is fruit and vegetables either eaten whole (think watermelon and mango) or when they have been juiced. Centrifugal juicers are not recommended for this although the juice they produce (from organic fruit and vegetables) is vastly better than most alternative soft drinks. Slow juicers are more effective and produce more nutritious juice (details are here  
<http://versapers.com/juicers/versapers-emotion-wit-2g.html>  
– the same machine is available in different countries under different names.) The Rolls Royce of juicers is probably the Norwalk – you can see here how this expensive machine will save you money  
<http://www.nwjcal.com/>  
This is the one recommended for serious health issues.

While on the subject of juicing and blending:  
<https://www.nutribullet.com/>

Isn't this going to cost a bomb?

'Aim for a good proportion of raw, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, and other food that is as little processed as possible, and with as few additives as possible.'

It is true, of course, that fresh, organic, unprocessed food is going to cost more than the opposite option, but these costs can be offset against savings on expensive animal protein – meat, fish, dairy and eggs. At the same time, next time you have the chance, compare the cost of a burger in a fast food joint with the cost of bananas; it is certain you will get more nutrients and fewer toxins from the fruit than from the fast food. (The bun that comes with some burgers has been shown to last, unchanged and un-decomposing for months on a shelf. There are no nutrients in it to feed bugs and bacteria that would otherwise cause it to rot.)

It will be useful to know which fruit and vegetables can be consumed in their non-organic forms more safely than others; see the Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen from  
<http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/>

You can only do what you can in your own personal circumstances, for most people "We've just got it the wrong way round. We think it's normal to spend money on a new TV, but not on the best food for our family". Hungry for Change.

If you are doing the Heptagon Protocol, you will also be saving on contracts for phones, rental payments and subscriptions on TVs and satellite and movie channels, as well as published print media.

And the energy cost?

A quarter of household energy is used for cooking, refrigeration and dishwashing (+lighting, heating, fans, a/c). And of this 64% fridge, 26% cooking and 10% dishwashing

**If someone set out to devise the worst possible diet with which to build a huge-brained tropical primate, a junk food diet of white bread, crisps, pies, chips, jam, toffee bars, biscuits, sweet fizzy drinks and burgers would be it. (Left in the Dark, p82)  
**<https://www.happygaia.com/site/assets/files/0/01/194/left_in_the_dark_free_edition.pdf>  
**~~~**

We are herbivores who can _survive_ on animal protein – but survive is the operative word, since once we routinely eat this diet, we lose our high-level faculties, we become open to degenerative diseases and we lose our longevity.

We do this partly because of the differential responsiveness of the left and right hemisphere of the **brain** to the nutrients in our diet, partly because the **body** does not function well on a non-plant-based diet, and partly because of the **spiritual** karma and ingestion of animal energy resulting from our choice.

The purpose of eating is to nourish yourself so

Don't eat fake food!

The overall idea

The overall idea is that apart from the toxins there may be in the food you eat, the food itself is very often deficient in the nutrients you need. You are 'overfed but undernourished' and on a cellular level you are slowly starving to death.

By changing in the direction suggested above, you are not doing something weird and radical; you are just levelling the playing-field and giving your body a chance. A chance to grow, heal, and thrive!

Source of Toxins: Medicines and Cosmetics

**Caution: Do not stop or reduce any prescription drugs that you are taking without consulting your doctor or healthcare professional. See** disclaimer **at the end of this section.**

~~~  
"If in doubt, try nutrition first."  
(Roger J. Williams, PhD, in Nutrition Against Disease)  
~~~

This section is really closely allied with the previous one dealing with food and drink. All the healing and defence mechanisms of the body – which will heal itself if given the opportunity (like when you cut yourself) – are best fed and least compromised by a plant-based, fresh, organic, raw diet. This results, among other things, in a clearer skin, shinier hair, less cellulite, and so on.

~~~

Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine food.  
Hippocrates  
~~~

You have seen it countless times: you cut yourself, the skin heals over – often you can't even see where it was. The cause is removed; the body heals – quickly or slowly depending on your health and nutrition. It is not rocket science. If the cause is still there (like a tiny splinter) healing takes longer and a different form – here the body must first rid itself of the cause. Do you think the body only does this on the surface?

Give your body the chance to heal itself. Good nutrition, no toxins.

In the US recently, 106,000 deaths a year were linked to non-error, adverse effects of **pharmaceutical medicines.** If the need to take them in the first place is due to deficiency of nutrients and toxicity, then if you are following the Heptagon Protocol you will find fewer headaches, fewer aches and pains, better digestion, more energy, better grades and so on, without recourse to the products and risks of Big Pharma. The only side-effect is likely to be better health.

Here is a video of possible interest from a former pharmaceutical representative: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIm8fHxqUAM>

Medicines for the Mind

The same applies to **psychotropic drugs** which are given to treat depression, bipolar disorder, ADD, and other conditions supposedly based on an imbalance in brain chemistry. The brain also requires energy and nutrients to function, and if your brain is poorly nourished, or poisoned, it is not surprising if you have difficulty concentrating, thinking clearly, or if you are depressed. You should be!

Here is a video of possible interest:  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHlLRge45sg>  
(There is a mechanism designed to protect the brain – the BBB – but this can be compromised even and especially by high levels of toxicity, so a vicious circle sets in.)

Cosmetics

60% of what you spray or rub on your **skin** (including soap) goes through it and has to be dealt with by your system just as if you had eaten or drunk it. It may also interfere with the ability of the body to breathe and detox. through the skin. Consider carefully, then, what you are putting on your skin and lips – hand and skin creams, moisturisers, sun-block, anti-perspirant sprays – and also shower gel, soaps , insect repellent – the list goes on and on. Watch out for parabens  
<http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/>  
and aluminium  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsDKP9rXLkg>  
in the products you use. (NB after a short time on the Heptagon Protocol you are much less likely to need deodorants) The list also includes scents, perfumes and colognes (see Passive Perfume below) – manufacturers are not obliged to list the ingredients of the 'fragrance' part of the product. Dyes in clothing, and the fabrics worn, are also in constant contact with your skin; go for cotton or silk if you can. (See EMFs below)

Nail varnish is also blocking the natural transpiration and therefore health of your nails.  
See details of Teen Body Burden  
 https://www.ewg.org/research/teen-girls-body-burden-hormone-altering-cosmetics-chemicals#.We-s59R94nI

Another route into your system is **your mouth** ; you regularly use pastes and liquids which can be absorbed by the lining of your mouth and partially swallowed. Toothpaste is an obvious one, along with mouthwash (3R anti-septic), tooth-cleaning gum and breath fresheners. Fluoride is better avoided (even if you follow the small print warnings on the tube about pea-sized quantities and swallowing), but check also that your toothpaste doesn't contain foaming agents (such as sodium laurel-sulphate) and that the gum is not sweetened with sweeteners you might wish to avoid. Again, your breath need not need freshening if you are eating well and rinsing/brushing with water.

Pregnant women are advised not to dye or tint their **hair** because of the possible effect of the chemicals on the health of the foetus. In the same way, the shampoo, conditioner, dye, tint, cream or gel you are putting on your hair (or your scalp!) is contributing to your Toxic Threshold. Best reduced or replaced.

Girls should also look carefully at the composition, ingredients, effect, (and need for) **tampons** , creams, gels or deodorants that they use.

A drastic **test** for any cosmetic you are using: Would you be happy eating, drinking or licking it?

Vaccinations

Whether to prevent cervical cancer  
 http://vaccineimpact.com/2014/gardasil-toxic-contaminant-confirmed-by-independent-lab-in-france/  
or MMR or polio or this season's flu – if you have a choice in the matter – whether to be vaccinated should be a major Discernment Focus. With the Heptagon Protocol you could protect yourself if you have to take the vaccine, possibly detox if you have taken it, and in any case boost your immune system so that you might not need it in the first place.

(If you wish to refuse a vaccination, an objection based on safety and efficacy is likely to be more successful than one based on freedom of choice or moral grounds.)

Looking after your Teeth.

Your teeth are going to love the largely raw, plant-based diet recommended in the section of Food and Drink, and if you are following that, rinsing and brushing with water should be all that they need. If they need filling, you should do everything you can to avoid amalgam fillings which contain mercury and release mercury gas into your system over an extended period. This is very toxic; opt for a white filling material if you can, remembering that if dentistry is free in your country, amalgam is almost certainly used and more than £100 will have to be paid to avoid it. (Chlorella is apparently effective in removing mercury from your system.) Green tea is an effective mouthwash. Oil Pulling with raw, organic coconut oil is an ancient practice widely thought to contribute to oral and dental health – although it takes some getting used to! Dental x-rays on a routine basis are also better avoided – save them for when they will provide information useful for diagnosis or treatment.

(Older readers should research the possible effect of root canal treatments on their health, and avoid mixing gold crowns with amalgam fillings.)

Looking after your Eyes.

Having trouble reading the whiteboard or the street names? In no time you will find yourself wearing glasses/spectacles. These are costly and will normally get stronger and stronger as you get older. The acuity of your vision is largely affected by the condition of the muscles surrounding your eye. What tensions in your life have contributed to their pulling unequally? What is happening between your eyes and your brain (a question that often contributes to less-than-optimal laser treatment)? What do you not want to see? Answers to these questions can help your vision without glasses, as can the exercises recommended by the Bates method which treat the eyes in the same way other muscle problems in the body are dealt with - by physiotherapy. For no other muscle group would we accept long term prosthesis.  
<http://i-see.org/bates_nutshell.html>

(Obviously, the wearing of glasses does not affect the Toxicity Threshold directly – any more than wearing high heels! However, the long-term muscular effects and the effect on the self-image {as well as the denying of alternative healthier and more ecologically and psychologically sound treatments} are all part of the Paradigm we accept.)

The Placebo effect is where someone is given something which they think is a medicine; their condition improves even though what they received contains no medicinal ingredient. The improvement in their condition is due to complex factors: their belief in the substance, the person giving it to them, maybe just receiving caring attention from another, in any case it shows that the mind can play a part in illness or wellness independently of medicines.

Bowel movements

You will see below more details on how the body detoxifies itself naturally – the most important being via the bowels. Clearly it is preferable to rid yourself of toxins that way than through the skin or the breath. How often? Twice or thrice a day if that is convenient. In any case, do whatever you can to avoid having to resist or delay a movement.  
 http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-many-bowel-movements-should-you-have-every-day

Genetic predisposition to a particular medical condition is sometimes viewed as an inevitable sentence hanging over you – it is only a question of time until you succumb to this or that malady and indeed some people take action in advance as if they have already succumbed. It may be more useful to view a predisposition more as a weak link – where things will start going wrong in the case of chronic abuse.

'Recreational' Drugs including caffeine, alcohol and tobacco  
These are widely known to have neurotoxic or toxic effects and you may wish to replace, refuse or reduce your use of them.  
A helpful scenario to consider is that of a young person on a diet low in nutrients and high in fat. The poor nutrition leads to tiredness and lack of energy and a cola drink is found to provide a lift. Coffee would be the next step, and alcohol and tobacco the steps after - simply to feel physically 'well', happy and if not energetic, at least able to cope. Making sure your body and brain are properly nourished can reduce the need for these props, and detoxing can reduce the withdrawal symptoms if you decide to quit.  
(Smokers could also study the effects of Niacin - not the no-flush variety - which is chemically related to nicotine.)

Source of Toxins: Air Pollution

Air pollution covers any air entering your lungs which contains toxins. Some is much talked about but difficult to avoid, some is less talked about but much easier to avoid, and some is hardly known about at all. All of it adds to your Toxic Load so here goes...

Well-known

The **much-talked about** sources of air pollution are **Smoking** (including passive and e-cigarettes) **exhaust fumes** from traffic and smoke and fume from **industry**.  
 http://www.theguardian.com/global/2015/jun/20/britain-london-pollution-air-quality-health  
 https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/jan/04/living-near-heavy-traffic-increases-dementia-risk-say-scientists  
Unfortunately, depending on who you live and work with, where you live, and how you get about, it is often only possible to minimise exposure to these sources.

Less well-known

These are often not even considered as air pollution. (Some of the sources below will only really be important for those whose health is already compromised.)

Air fresheners – in your car or your home. TV commercials may suggest that these are necessary and normal, but if you and the space do not smell of smoke or anything else, opening the windows should be enough.

Perfume and after-shave are giving you (and your neighbours with Passive Perfume) a day-long dose of non-fresh air. Keep them to a minimum anyway. (We saw above that perfume companies are not obliged to specify the ingredients of the fragrance part of the product)

The inside of a car on a hot day often has a lot of off-gas from the synthetics. Is the air from the A/C really fresh? (And do you know which button to press to close the outside vents of your car ventilation system if you see clouds of exhaust up ahead?)

In a shower cubicle, the hot water often releases a lot of fragrances from the gels and shampoos used, and depending how your water is heated possibly even chlorine gas from the hot water

Aerosols of all kinds use propellant gases you might want to avoid: this includes deodorants, paint sprays, insect sprays(!), and cleaning products.

Less obvious are the off-gas from new carpet, fresh paintwork, and clothing after dry-cleaning or new clothing treated with chemicals, particularly if you work where they are made or sold.  
 http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/detox/fashion/

Hardly known at all

Sources of concern to us all are crop-spraying (if you live near a farm), insect repellent, the toxic gas produced by over-heated Teflon  
<http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5350341> ,  
and nitrosopyrrolidine in the vapours of cooking bacon!,  
 https://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-fumes-dietary-secondhand-smoke/ eCigarettes, aircraft cabins (the air you breathe comes via the engines and can contain organo-phosphates from the engine oil  
<http://www.toxiccabinair.com/> )  
and chemtrails (as distinct from contrails or vapour trails.) More here:  
<http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/>

What can I do?

Reduce your exposure and avoid sources of pollution wherever possible. Change your exercise or commuting routes, and spend time in the fresh air. Research and learn breathing techniques for when you are there – in parks, nature, the countryside, woodland, the mountains or the beach.  
And this should cause a rush to the vegetable counter or greengrocer

Source of Toxins: Electro-Magnetic Field - EMF

At the moment (2018) everybody officially still pretends that electro-magnetic fields have no effect on you and do you no harm, although the Seletun Scientific Statement of 2011 might have been expected to change minds. See the 10 Key Points. <http://www.iemfa.org/seletun-statement/>

EMFs are the new cigarettes. In two years' time (or less if you spread the word!) everybody will know how bad they are for you and your children will be amazed that people voluntarily spent so much time bathed in them and wanted to keep devices that were known to have such a detrimental effect so close to their bodies. Distance is your friend.

So here are some of the things that create intense or background EMFs

Mobile phones – just read the small print in the manual.  
<http://showthefineprint.org/>  
The important aspect of mobile phones is that it is not the power that disrupts the body's homeostasis but the variations in the field – different from standby, to ringing, to speaking, and constantly changing. Boys – don't slide them into a jeans pocket. Girls – don't tuck them into your bra. Use a hands free (not Bluetooth plugged into your ear!). Use a slip-case – even a small extra distance from you is good. Don't leave them on by your bed at night. Use airplane mode as much as possible (or get the app that toggles airplane mode for a minute every hour – or write that app!) And don't live near a mast.  
See <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNNSztN7wJc>  
and check out  
 https://ehtrust.org/new-movie-release-wireless-revolution-loving-cell-phones-zapping-health/  
with advice to join the control group

XKCD Phone :  
<https://xkcd.com/1802/>

Microwave ovens \- They should be sealed to prevent the user being exposed to EMFs. A neat way to check this sealing is to put your mobile phone inside and dial its number. If it rings, the seal is not working. NB They were banned in the USSR in 1976 due to possible health consequences.; the ban was lifted after Perestroika.

Ordinary **power cables on pylons** and the little transformer Wendy-houses that step the power down for domestic use. The ordinary domestic power system, particularly if dimmers are installed. See Dirty Electricity.  
<http://tinyurl.com/y8tvnolv>

Phone chargers – and all chargers – unplug them when not in use. Ditto all devices with standby mode. Unplug them.

Wi-Fi: Free in more and more places. Avoid those places if you can and turn it off in your house even if advised not to do so for the sake of your connection speeds and even if it compromises your operator's plans to use you as part of their network. Or just turn it off at night if you cannot do without it. Schools and universities that provide it 24/7 are taking a courageous stand by showing their confidence in the long term safety of the technology, and the improbability of future class-action law suits!

Eco light bulbs (the little white ones that have replaced the old incandescent lamps) generate substantial EMFs and are all you can get cheaply. If all the bulbs in your house are Eco bulbs, then after dark you are spending your time in a toxic electro-magnetic fog – particularly when you add in your wi-fi (and the neighbour's) and three or four mobile phones and computers

 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1340938/Eco-bulbs-health-hazard-babies-pregnant-women-mercury-inside.html#ixzz18xHrr0wJ

(Use LED and halogen if possible; they generate negligible EMFs although they are often more expensive.)

While we are on the subject of light-bulbs, there is also the light from bulbs:  
<http://www.scienceoflight.org/>

Passive EMF – friends or colleagues with their phones on, wi-fi in neighbouring houses or flats. Most routers allow the turning off of wi-fi either with a switch or through a control panel accessed via a connected computer. Type something like 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of your browser. Find the code online and have your password ready. Your neighbours might agree to having the wi-fi off from midnight to six - they can always use a wired connection if they need to. Modern computers seem to default to having their internal wi-fi on all the time (possibly Bluetooth as well). Easier to turn them off at the wall than to find out how to disable the wireless!

Antennae: this is a talk by an insurance agent to fellow insurers about the risks of antennae people don't realise are there. It shows what some stealth antennae look like:  
 http://www.rmmagazine.com/2010/08/01/the-invisible-threat-radiofrequency-radiation-risk/

Other things to reduce your exposure to are:  
TVs and computer screens and monitors: recent screens are lcd rather than cathode ray, so now it may be the colour of light (see above) rather than bombardment form the tube. If you still have an old bulky TV, better not to sit directly in front of it - or too close. See the work of **John Nash Ott** on electro-magnetic radiation from TVs and fluorescent tubes and its effects on plants – and possibly on children.  
<http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/obituary/Content?oid=902493>  
and Chapter 11 of the Secret Life of Plants. Bear in mind that biological systems are picking up a cumulative effect unlike the 'moment-in-time' measurements of scientific instruments.  
Bluetooth devices \- whether as earphones - cords were such a bore! - or as part of a job (receptionist with headphones, or retail worker with a wireless device strapped to the forearm. You could always ask your employer or the device manufacturer for written assurance that no health risks were associated with the devices.) Anyone who chooses to wear a wireless device on their head or near their eyes is making their own choice of course.  
Cordless phones. Much lower power, of course, and not carried around all day close to the body. It would be good to find out if the base station and the outer stations were only in contact when there is a call or whether they are constantly on.

Other relatively minor effects adding to your Toxic Load come from ordinary earphones, synthetic clothing, and anything with a chip inside it (dishwashers, water-filters! and so on)

**And** Facebook and smart phones are socially toxic too if they interfere with personal and family relationships (Mums and Dads in the playground 'looking after' their children while on the internet)  
**And** , computers and electronic gadgets are usurping our inherent human abilities of memory, imagination, thinking, intuition and problem solving.

Source of Toxins: Music

Musick has Charms to soothe a savage Breast,  
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.  
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,  
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,  
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.

Music can have powerful effects. It can relax you, draw back to consciousness someone in a coma, and even improve the intelligence of an unborn child. But not all music is like that.  
 https://nutritionfacts.org/video/music-for-anxiety-mozart-vs-metal/

You can now easily have 'your music' with you wherever you go. It is often – sadly – preferable to the actual sounds of your environment. What could be wrong with that? And how could it be contributing to your Toxicity Threshold?

The first way is that you are denying yourself silence. In the silence you become more aware of your thoughts, and of the inner voice that is always with you. Without music, your thoughts might become clearer, and you might become more aware of your environment – and the need to change it! You will see that in the Action Plan we recommend meditation as a further way of benefitting from silence.

~~~  
Your real self is behind a door. The key to that door is silence.  
Q'uo  
~~~

http://xkcd.com/1590/  
and on noise pollution  
http://fearlessparent.org/noise-pollution-hurts/

The second way it can contribute to your Toxicity Threshold is in the messages in the lyrics of the song. These normally focus on the need for another person – their presence, their actions, and their treatment of you - in order for you to be happy. This is widely accepted, but in fact YOU are responsible for your inner states.  
The lyrics often also present as normal: anger, jealousy, revenge, low self-worth and other negative feelings based on Fear. Lyrics also serve to reinforce other aspects of social programming. (Compare any lyrics you know or have to hand with, for example, John Lennon's 'Imagine')

A third way is the images associated with the music. Often the music videos which are absorbed unquestioningly by the majority as indicators of what is acceptable, normal and cool, contain surprising images which operate on a subconscious level. This is important since strong images frequently held and associated with powerful emotions tend to attract into reality what is portrayed.

Both the lyrics and the images often serve to Place Concepts - see next section.

A fourth way is the actual frequency of the vibrations of the sounds acting on the brain and physiology of the human. All instruments are tuned (since promoted by the ISO in 1955 and 1975) to A as 440 kHz compared to frequencies of around 435 kHz before that date. Vibrations based on A at 432 are thought by some to be more beneficial to the human being. (Samples of music played at both frequencies to compare, as well as more theory)  
 http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/12/21/heres-why-you-should-convert-your-music-to-432hz/,

Other research showing the interesting effects of music can be seen in connection with Mrs Rettallack's  
<http://www.dovesong.com/positive_music/plant_experiments.asp>, <http://www.reversespins.com/music.html>  
experiments in 1968 under Francis F Broman.

A further aspect to popular music is in the use of backmasking and phonetic reversal. This is an area where Discernment should be used.

A website that monitors – among other things – the music industry is the Vigilant Citizen  
 http://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/mind-control-theories-and-techniques-used-by-mass-media/

What can I do?

Hint: Set aside part of your day (5 minutes) to sit in silence, and at least turn off the music when you are in the park or the country or the mountains. And be selective where you spend your music money

Source of Toxins: Media

(The media consists of newspapers and magazines, radio, television and the internet. The principal TV channels/stations, newspapers and magazines are often referred to as the Main-Stream Media {MSM}.)

One of the tenets of the current paradigm (for more see Creed below) is that after a certain age we should know what is going on in the world (and have an opinion about it)

This chimes in with our deep intuitive knowing that 'We are all one' - also expressed by Donne as 'no man is an island' - and probably for this reason is widely accepted.

~~~  
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.  
John Donne  
~~~

So we watch the news, we read newspapers, we arrange to receive 'top stories' (stories?) or news flashes on our phones, and we find out what is going on - normally at one remove - from the Media. We accord the media an aura of truth and reliability to the extent that for most people if something is not broadcast on the Mainstream Media, it is not true and did not happen. Conversely, anything that is broadcast is true and certainly took place as described.

This is a problem because experience shows that this is not the case.

Often the media gives us information which is exaggerated, distracting or simply untrue. Crowds are often concentrated in front of cameras to maximise the impression given, or even paid to gather, or organised by foreign countries. Photographs may not even be from the right year or country.  
 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/9293620/BBC-News-uses-Iraq-photo-to-illustrate-Syrian-massacre.html  
Miners in England forever resent the BBC news coverage, which showed miners throwing stones and then the police charging; in fact, that footage happened the other way round: the miners were responding to being charged at by police.  
 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/18/scandal-of-orgreave-miners-strike-hillsborough-theresa-may

On a larger scale, in the USA and UK the media was full of reports of WMD in Iraq – which turned out later simply not to have been there.  
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/oct/07/usa.iraq1>  
The incident in the Gulf of Tonkin which triggered the Vietnam War did not take place as reported.  
 http://www.historynet.com/case-closed-the-gulf-of-tonkin-incident.htm

~~~  
...and the news they get is, of course, the raw material of their thought. If the news is colored or doctored, then public opinion is betrayed and the national life is corrupted at its source.  
Upton Sinclair  
~~~

Why are the media not reliably truthful?

The freedom of the press – and that includes all media - has always been limited by two factors:

the opinions of its owners, and  
the interests of the advertisers.

~~~  
Freedom of the Press is freedom to print such of the proprietor's prejudices as the advertisers don't object to.  
Hannen Swaffer  
~~~

Further. The owners – in the nature of things – are part of a group of people involved in many different areas of finance, commerce, industry and politics, so the opinions of this extended group are likely to be reflected in the coverage of the media – even more so if they are also advertisers or involved in the financing of the media. The media will also be liable to pressure to publish or not to publish from the government or government departments; they may also be monitored by them.

For these reasons the media does not necessarily give us information which could be useful, interesting or life-saving to us, if it is contrary to the interests of owners or advertisers. So we are not going to see anytime soon articles in the papers detailing the possible links between high milk consumption in a country and the incidence in that country of Type 1 diabetes,  
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10759142>  
or the true effects of Electro-magnetic fields, the relevance of controlled demolition to the events of 9/11, or the truth concerning alien visitation craft (AVCs).

Whether **suppressing beneficial information or presenting invalid information** , the overall effect is to provide foci for energy, reinforce tenets of the paradigm and to disseminate fear under the guise of information. Will you (in 2014) catch Ebola? or the Zika virus (2016) (A few years ago it was Swine Flu) Will you lose your job? Will mortgage rates rise? Will your child get into school/university? Will there be a terrorist on your plane? Will you get breast cancer?

What can I do?

Instead of looking at your source of news to find out what has - or might have - happened and what to think about it, **you could decide how you would like your world to be and what you would like to take place in it, and go out and create it.**

Go without the news or papers for a week now and then – friends and colleagues will enjoy telling you anything important.

Try and spot the over-arching problems (see below) causing the symptoms represented by the news items. Work at those.

Operate on a 'need to know' basis - monitor news about a place you plan to visit, get the appeal details for sending resources to a hard-hit area if you feel to, send love and light to victims of some event, evaluate your choices if you are exposed to similar risks. Scan the 'news' from time to time to see how the great game is unfolding.

Otherwise, if you are using the news just to give yourself something to talk about, or if you allowing yourself to be distracted from more serious issues (a jumbo jet of deaths a day from cancer year by year!) use the Off switch.

You can also extend your browsing, and with the internet this is very easy. For example, you could include  
<https://www.theguardian.com/international>  
<https://www.positive.news/>  
and  
<http://www.russellbrandtrews.com/>  
<https://www.rt.com/> ,  
<http://www.aljazeera.com/> ,  
<http://www.tomdispatch.com/>  
<http://www.zerohedge.com/> , or  
<https://benjaminfulford.net/> \- Discernment please.  
Have a look at http://www.abovetopsecret.com or http://www.beforeitsnews.com  
Following links from this book will also lead down interesting pathways. What will be new is that you will not be able to trust them without question as you have been (misguidedly) trusting the MSM. Use your intuition and discernment.

~~~  
Are you watching today's programme or getting today's programming?  
~~~

Here's a checklist you could use when you hear of some event - after first taking a moment to send love and light to the people involved:

Does it contribute to background fear?  
Where does it take my focus / what does it distract me from?  
What is the source of the news?  
Did it actually happen? Is the report true?  
Unlike the Gulf of Tonkin incident  
Was the situation as described?  
The number of people involved - the perpetrator/s and the victim/s  
Did it happen as described?  
The sequence and timing of events - see the miners' story above  
Who was involved?  
Two off-duty members of US Armed Forces were there  
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Thalys_train_attack>  
Was the perpetrator acting consciously with free will?  
Not programmed, medicated, coming off medication, unaware, blackmailed?  
Did the perpetrator(s), suspect(s), Navy Seal rescue team survive?  
What can now be done?  
What change will now be acceptable - that was unacceptable before?  
Who does that serve?  
How does the toll compare with the toll of victims of ignored assaults on well-being covered here?

Concept Placement

Most people are now familiar with Product Placement - whether it is the make of car or watch used by James Bond, or the bottle of tomato ketchup on the table in the background of a scene in a series. Netflix sometimes alerts the watcher that a movie contains product placement. You might think that apart from that, the actual story and the series of scenes that tell it simply depend on the book it is taken from or the screenplay written by the one or more scriptwriters.

This is not always the case. Back in 1930-40s, to increase sales of diamonds by linking them to romance and engagement, it was noted that "Motion pictures seldom include scenes showing the selection or purchase of an engagement ring to a girl,"... "It would be our plan to contact scenario writers and directors and arrange for such scenes in suitable productions."

More details here  
<http://edwardjayepstein.com/diamond/prologue.htm>  
and here  
<http://edwardjayepstein.com/diamond/chap13.htm>

On the basis of these initial results, N. W. Ayer (the ad agency) strongly recommended that continued efforts be made to manipulate Hollywood films.

'Suitable productions'  
Unless this remarkably effective approach to changing public tastes and behaviour was a one-off and has not been used since, 'suitable productions' would no longer be limited to movies, but would now include TV programmes and series, music videos (and lyrics), and celebrity behaviour.

'Such scenes'  
From the links above you can see that while the concept of giving a diamond ring as a mark of engagement was new to the Japanese it was already familiar to viewers in the States, where the intention was to reinforce the behaviour and increase the amount spent.

Many concepts are just reinforced by 'such scenes' and the question then is whether the scenes just reflect the norms of society or whether any organisation or group has a financial or other interest in promoting a behaviour.

Smoking may now no longer be shown on screen, but what about a group of young people downing shots in a bar? Phones are normally used to the head and are often seen 'on' at the bedside. Cancer patients are often shown bald and sticking to their 'treatment' (except in Dying Young with Julia Roberts - not a successful film). Aliens are always evil and out to destroy mankind. To beat the bad guys you need a cape, a bow and arrow, super powers, or a bat-mobile. (See Action Plan for an alternative strategy) A good exercise in discernment is to identify the concepts being introduced or reinforced in what you watch, hear or read, and feel whether they just reflect current thinking or serve somebody other than yourself.

And how would the manipulation work - how did it work? Would scriptwriters be paid somehow or would it be a matter of ensuring favourable media coverage or reviews? Might a movie with inappropriate off-paradigm views find it hard to get backing or face legal challenges?

(Come to think of it, movies now have scenes showing bags of diamonds being used as a store of wealth - everybody is trying to find where some diamonds are hidden, or making a getaway with a bag of diamonds as a pension. But what happens then? This? **  
**<http://edwardjayepstein.com/diamond/chap20.htm> )

Discernment  
Once again, the important thing is awareness - of the possibility that you are being played - and discernment to spot the manipulation and discount or ignore. The media is very effective in moulding the collective consciousness.

**~~~  
** You saturate your minds with the unhealthy dishes served up for you on your televisions that you are addicted to, violence, pornography, greed, hatred, selfishness, incessant 'bad news', fear and 'terror'. When was the last time you stopped, to think of something beautiful and pure? Anon

Source of Toxins: Education and Socialisation

~~~  
Putting the genie into the bottle.  
~~~

Assuming you are currently in the educational system at some stage, the first thing to do is to keep calm and carry on! (We will look further on at why you are there and what you can do about it.) Some of the elements that do not serve you which we look at below cannot be easily or readily changed (although perhaps more easily and readily than you might imagine), but how you feel about these things can be changed.

First we will establish what aspects of education and socialisation do not serve you - as well as those that could be of great value. Some unquestioned assumptions and things that are taken for granted come into these categories, so be ready to question some assumptions and un-take for granted when it feels appropriate. In many cases the mere awareness of how an aspect is affecting you can make a difference; in others some action is necessary.

There are 7 areas:

Physical  
Psychological  
Organisational  
Sponsoring thoughts  
Subjects taught  
Subjects not taught  
Socialization

Physical

We have already looked at some of the physical aspects of being at school in other sections: the school food, the compulsory milk, the ubiquitous Wi-Fi  
 http://emfsafetynetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Letter-to-SUSD.pdf,  
the smartboards and concentration of smartphones, and the sometimes compulsory psychotropic medications (Peace Pills).

There is also the lighting (normally fluorescent tubes in shades of white that are conducive to attention and behavioural problems), being obliged to wear shoes indoors, and in some areas a remote risk of being shot by a fellow student (cf medications)  
<http://www.cchrint.org/school-shooters/>

Even sitting down for long periods of time is not ideal!  
<http://nutritionfacts.org/video/standing-up-for-your-health/>

There are often also restrictions (that would not be tolerated by an adult) on having water to drink in the class and when you can go to the toilet..

Psychological

1. Fear as motivation of: teachers, peer group (do you have the right clothes, smart phone, make up?), examinations, tests, not knowing the answer (only one will do normally), being low in the class, of tests which count towards your final results, failing, letting people down, exams (the more the better – acquisitive conditioning), a 'shelf stacking' future (what will happen if you fail exams), drills, detentions, expulsion, exclusion, (Matilda), being insulted – often by the teacher resulting in low self-esteem, fear of having to repeat a year – both of the time spent and the social problems it will entrain; the strangeness of what you are being expected to do. And exams.

These fears are taken for granted and often reinforced by or originated by parents.

~~~  
Education is a fear-based distraction to occupy a creative, energetic, change-ready and therefore risky age group until it is also wound into the paradigm web.  
~~~

2. Automatic obedience of authority figures

Is obedience instilled as a requirement of the running of the school, or is the instilling of obedience part of its raison d'être? The instilling is backed up by sanctions and punishments that are a foretaste of what will be used in adult contexts later; detention (imprisonment), beatings, exclusion and so on. Are these things necessary because children are inherently naughty and need to be controlled, or are they 'naughty' because they intuit the uselessness and cruelty of the process, the brainwashing, the force-feeding of unnecessary facts?

3. Over-development of the left hemisphere of the brain

Your brain consists of two hemispheres – the left and the right – which function in different ways and have different roles. The left hemisphere works along organisational lines and deals with analysis, words used in language, reasoning and logical thought, while the right hemisphere is more creative, working with spatial concepts, and for example the musical and expressive part of language.

~~~  
Reason is designed to support, not to lead your action.  
K Carey  
~~~

The right hemisphere seems also to be the seat of meditation, intuition and even savant-like abilities, so one of the 'toxins' to which you are exposed at school is the unbalanced development of the left hemisphere (exacerbated by the standard western diet, see page 22 and elsewhere in Left in the Dark  
 https://www.happygaia.com/site/assets/files/0/01/194/left_in_the_dark_free_edition.pdf  
) to the exclusion of the right hemisphere.

Indeed, intuition is often denigrated as being illogical – which it is! – and meditation – which involves not-thinking – is rarely taught. Even subjects like creative writing, musical composition and poetry are sometimes analysed and taught as left-brain subjects. Seen here in Dead Poet's Society:  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjHORRHXtyI>

For an internal perception of the relative functioning of the two hemispheres:  
 https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight?language=en

~~~  
Imagination is more important than knowledge – Einstein  
~~~

Learning to read and write begins the development of the left hemisphere, as does the labelling of experience implicit in the study of most subjects. A child listening to and watching a bird who is told by a helpful adult 'That is a blackbird' probably never really hears or sees the bird again. Digital watches and speedometers are other examples of spatial information (RB) being replaced with digital (LB)

The process of RB subordination results in the loss of creativity, imagination, inspiration and spontaneity in most people – making them grown-up.

~~~  
Growing old is compulsory – growing up is not.  
~~~

On the basis of Consequence-is-Purpose, the purpose of education is to lead you out of a right-brain world of creativity, confidence, intuition, enthusiasm, sharing and joy and into the left-brain world of analysis, separation, fear, logic, competition and wage-slavery. Since the right-brain world is the seat of meditation, enhanced abilities and feelings of oneness, this is a retrograde step.

~~~  
Creativity is as important as intelligence  
~~~

4. Deprivation

a. You are deprived of your creativity. The process is one of putting the genie into the bottle using the background of fear and the training of the left brain

b. You are often deprived of your favourite subject or activity. You are benignly guided away from what you like and are good at  
 https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity?language=en  
on the basis of 'You can't get a job doing that'.

c. Free time and Childhood

You are deprived of aeons of free time, both by being at school for so many hours and by homework.

d. Contact

You are deprived of the nourishing and supportive contact you have had with your mother or father; how drastic this is depends on how early in your life this is broken and replaced by the (gentle-at-the-start) moulding and training process.

In addition to the loss of contact with the immediate family, there is also a divorce from society as a whole. Younger siblings, older relations, and the everyday world are all experienced at certain times of the day, week or year. If free time is taken up by extra-curricular activities or piles of homework, it is not until they leave school that children learn what goes on in the real world. They are then generally ill-prepared by the irrelevant subjects they have been studying to deal with it.

Organisational

1. The prison-like structuring of your life by bells, not being allowed to leave the premises, exercise in tightly controlled areas, out-of-bounds areas, and school rules. Hours of 9-5 in some places and a ban (in England) of conkers, and skipping. And fines for term-time absences.

2. Classes are in groups of the same age. This is so normal that it is unquestioned, but it is principally for the convenience of organisation, and is totally unlike what is normal in the world outside where groupings are multi-age, where the older can help the younger, and where the experience-creativity blend is optimal. The mono-age group is of course good for the competitive model with averages and ranking within the class by mark..

3. The syllabus for the year, that is an entire year, could probably be knocked on the head with some smart work (not hard work) in under a month per subject, but no training in rapid study techniques or memory enhancement is given. Not everyone could manage this perhaps, but then not everyone should be doing the subjects they can't manage and/or do not enjoy anyway.

4. Homework. If parents take work home, it is often taken as a sign that they are inefficient or that the job is too much for them; it is also certain to sabotage their home life and their relationships. Children, on the other hand, are given homework **  
**<http://www.thecaseagainsthomework.com/>**  
** to do, often taking up to two hours every evening and a large-ish chunk at the weekend. Holidays aren't holidays either, because there is often homework or course-work to be done during those.

Is the idea to deprive the children of their childhood and to prevent them taking up painting, walking or the guitar? because that is what it does. The left brain is kept at it! Children who are lucky enough, can do these fun things as extras, squeezed into their week, or during break or lunchtime. Why not as their main activity?

5. Exams. You have to pass exams to have the chance of becoming a wage-slave or getting into university for the same chance, but a bit later. Examinations - like formal schooling below \- have no intrinsic value except in a society that has decided that you cannot get ahead without them. They do function as a kind of rite of passage  
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rite_of_passage#Academic>  
(but there are other ways of achieving that) and some colleges, companies and organisations require them, or have payment structures designed around qualifications. (Will you ever want to work in such a company?)

Exams also serve to show whether you have been trained to work intensively on a subject which may not interest you for meaningless rewards, and therefore if you are ready and suitable to be allowed into the system; they also show that your short-term memory works effectively (many say that they remember little after a month or two and never use what they have learned ) and that you are capable of sustained focus under stress.

6. Financial. Systems vary from completely free to extremely expensive, with colleges and universities often requiring a lot of money and often loans. The financial requirements often involve considerable sacrifice to get the appropriate door-opening education, certificate or degree. Even where education is relatively free, there are still often study materials, books, transport and other expenses – not to mention the right, normally designer, shoes and clothing to be acceptable and cool. The loans generally do not need to be paid off until earnings are above a certain threshold, but the fact remains that post-education life is started in debt - which is not good because it steals your future freedom and makes you a slave. (This debt in some countries is inescapable – even bankruptcy laws do not apply to it.) Added to this is the fact that the qualification gained often no longer guarantees employment in any case.

Sponsoring thoughts / ideas

Behind it all, there are some sponsoring thoughts, or ideas which are communicated and taken for granted, which may not be true and do not serve you.

1. Need to be there at all

Formal schooling has no intrinsic value, but becomes necessary when humanity creates a condition in which one must become 'educated' to get along.  
 http://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Food/The-One-Straw-Revolution.pdf

Most young people are at school because they are of an age where it is required by law. It is worth noting that the establishment of the schools in the first place and the legal framework requiring attendance have been fulsomely supported by business for whom able and obedient employees and enthusiastic consumers are no bad thing.

The idea that you are ignorant and need to be educated and to prove that you know certain facts and to have mastered a certain way of thinking to have value as a person and a member of society is a negative one. In fact, your native intelligence, genius, creativity, curiosity, intuition, and clarity of perception are going to be overlaid and replaced by analysis, the acquisition of facts and left-brain thinking.

~~~  
Children are not less intelligent than adults – they just have less experience  
~~~  
Genius is as common as dirt. We suppress our genius only because we haven't yet figured out how to manage a population of educated men and women. John Taylor Gatto  
~~~

<http://www.wesjones.com/gatto1.htm>  
See Inglis and the six basic functions of education:  
 https://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.fr/2013/02/6-principals-of-secondary-education.html

2. Competition

Compare the situation you are in with a book and movie that many are familiar with: The Hunger Games. Take it as far as you like, but the basic idea is very similar. Young people are put together into an artificial scenario with the clear instruction to compete, they are closely watched, and they and the system are endlessly discussed, they may or may not receive support, they may have grown up being trained in the skills needed to win, and they have no choice in whether or not to participate. Cooperation is not intended to be an option, although a cooperative model of the world is saner.

An alternative:

and Chinlone, a team sport without an opposing team:  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWfcATXnBLs>

(Competition also trains you away from the reality that we are all one.)

3. Lack

Another sponsoring thought is of lack **.** There is not enough food or water, not enough energy, not enough money. This idea apparently justifies competition and results in people not sharing, not giving and not enjoying life.

The truth is that:

There is enough food if it is fed to people, not animals or engines, and if it is not simply thrown away.  
<http://feedbackglobal.org/stopdumping/>  
There is enough water – if it is not used for animal agriculture. (3000ls/660glns for 1 hamburger)  
There is enough energy in terms of heat and light, if not used unnecessarily and wastefully.  
There would be enough money if it were created properly.

4. Growth

Growth is another concept that is taken for granted, and the idea of having, or wanting more. In nature growth continues to an optimum size only and then stops. It is worth questioning our attitudes to growth, particularly in business. See <http://www.impossiblehamster.org/>

5. Success

This is also desired, but success is often a mask for greed

~~~  
I – want – more!  
High school musical  
~~~

The more facts the better. The more exams the better. The more marks the better. The more money the better. The more things the better. Collecting facts is like collecting stamps – it doesn't mean you are more intelligent or more creative – it just means you have more facts.

6. Progress

There are three pictures, as it were: the caveman, the knight on his horse going to battle, and the businessman in his suit looking at his cell phone. The unspoken idea is that this represents progress, That past civilisations were primitive and that we are now at the pinnacle.

~~~  
Is civilisation on the path of progress or is it being debased generation by generation?

Subjects taught

Some subjects studied at school are necessary and useful (your own and foreign languages for example) but some are useless, harmful, or incomplete. (Some subjects are said to be studied to detect aptitude and interest in someone who has never been exposed to the subject before, but this need not take complete terms of study and could be done in other ways.)

1. Useless

Adults often comment that they have never used what they learned at school; the author was recently able to help his daughter with the rules of congruency of triangles and realised that was the first time he had needed to know those rules since learning them 50 years before.

Given the setup of our society and the current importance of financial affairs, mathematics itself is not useless, but perhaps more emphasis on mental arithmetic (to avoid being taken advantage of), and what about being able to handle this...?

~~~  
Which is better value: 35% off the price of the 10 ounce jar, or 50% more of the jar's contents for the same price?  
 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/278390954_When_More_Is_Less_The_Impact_of_Base_Value_Neglect_on_Consumer_Preferences_for_Bonus_Packs_over_Price_Discounts  
~~~

But beyond that, a very complex equation describes the trajectory of a ping-pong ball, but the ability to hit it back demonstrates sufficiently the ability to solve it (adding in the angle and force of your own bat!) without needing to do it with algebra, - unless you enjoy and have an aptitude for solving that particular form of puzzle. (Could Sudoku become an examinable subject? – it is of equal utility.)

2. Harmful

A subject could be seen as harmful:

\- if it contributes to low self-esteem because you do not enjoy the subject or you have no aptitude  
-if it further trains in LB activity to the detriment or exclusion of RB activity  
-if it reinforces or inappropriately exposes one to negative aspects of the world – for example WWII. (As a comparison, if we were looking at marriage problems, and the conflicts that might lead to divorce, a counsellor helping a couple to avoid future conflicts might look at what triggered the conflict, but would not then examine – blow by blow – each and every argument, looking in detail at how each party suffered and how many plates were broken in the course of the argument, visiting the scene, and role-playing the participants.. It is not a nourishing subject to study.)  
-if your and your parents' ability are challenged by it resulting in stressful homework and home life.

3. Incomplete

How can you study biology or botany without hearing of the work of Clee Backster or Louis Kervran, physics without superposition or Tesla, geography without the possible role of haarp, and history without knowing who financed the wars? These things are not in the syllabus, but they could be.

Socialization

~~~  
Man is born free but he doesn't stay that way for long  
Eric Berne  
~~~

Education plays a large part in inculcating the main elements of the paradigm; what part you play in the drama of life is determined by parental programming. The subject is complex; see  
<http://www.ericberne.com/games-people-play/>  
and, on autonomy,  
<https://archive.org/stream/TheGamesPeoplePlay#page/n77/mode/2up> page 78/79.

Other elements of the socialisation process include religious texts, myths, fables and even fairy stories. These should all be the subject of awareness and discernment to detect the effect they have on your world view and well-being.

The author distinguishes between religion and spirituality – the former characterised by bricks and mortar, an extensive personnel, and frequently controlling and/or scary dogma. The latter has more to do with direct personal contact with the Creator – in whatever form he/she is conceived. A loving Creator is incompatible with fear.

See also Not in His Image  
<http://tinyurl.com/yau49wc6>

What can I do?

While it is relatively easy to reduce exposure to toxicity in most of the areas in the Heptagon, in Education and Socialisation it is less straightforward. You are more locked into the framework with no obvious control and no apparent choice of how you relate to the situation.

In the short and medium term, the key is **Awareness**. If you understand the situation, how it comes about and who it serves, it is game-changing. It drains away (or significantly reduces) fear, and the effect that has on your vibration. You take action because for the moment it serves you. You study because you have to, or you are interested in the subject, or because you feel there would be some utility in succeeding in an examination or test. But the fear of failing, of not getting a job or of not gaining access to a university is seen for what it is – an induced and manipulative fear.

You could also: stop competing and start cooperating; make the most of the social life and the opportunity to meet like-minded people; ask more from your teachers and lecturers (choose a topic from this book to discuss). You could also see what Satyagrahi has to offer as an approach  
<http://mettacenter.org/definitions/gloss-concepts/satyagrahi/>

Medium to long term alternatives are looked at in depth in Instead of Homework: DiVersity by the same author. Otherwise, how's it going to change? Who's going to change it? - It's not going to change this year!

Source of Toxins: Government – TPTB

Where does the government or state come into this? You may remember earlier in the book that we depicted the seven sources of toxins as lying on the seven sides of a heptagon. In the centre of the heptagon we put the government, suggesting it had an important role. Why? In what way can the government contribute to your toxic load?

We are talking here about the state, the government, the powers that be. Not only the government in your own country but in others too, and not only the national but also the regional or state legislatures.

The characteristics of these groupings are the following:

They make laws, regulations; they decide on standards and norms. They can initiate research.

They decide on and levy taxes to be spent as they decide, and make decisions affecting the financial well-being of the people.

They have a monopoly of civil and military force (as well as Intelligence) and can therefore (within the conscience of the people comprising the forces) enforce compliance with the rules they have written, and can deprive of their liberty people who do not comply.

They are normally elected; this gives them an apparent legitimacy which may not be justified by the system of representation used or the effects of the media on voting behaviour. Regular elections also give the feeling that 'we can choose the other team next time' and 'they are not there for ever'. They have a close relationship with the media, either with editors or owners.

Why two teams? You don't have two teams to run a company

They have inherited a benevolent image of altruism, reputability, honour and of acting in the interests of the people. They have inherited the role of looking after the people, starting probably with the defence of the country from foreign invaders and by extension the health of the populace. Members of the government normally wear suits and ties if men or formal feminine dress - such people are respectable and to be believed and looked up to. This is especially the case when making appearances on the visual media

The government has an effect on your Toxicity Threshold by what they do and by what they leave undone, by their Dos and Don'ts.

Dos

They may oblige consumption or use of products and services which are either bad for you or with which the Precautionary Principle would suggest caution.

As you have seen in previous chapters, this might include school milk, Eco lightbulbs and remote electricity meters, vaccinations, compulsory education, international treaties and treatment of other people, laws and licensing of alcohol, tobacco, vaccinations, agricultural policy (trees), power lines, permitted treatments of medical conditions,. They bail out banks. They privatise industries. They build nuclear power stations. They extend airports. They decide to charge for university education encouraging early indebtedness. They espouse policies that reduce income. (They also lie and commit crimes, and when found out do not resign). To paraphrase Zinn:

~~~  
Law _does_ (did) not represent the ethics or ideals of advanced humanity; it exactly reflects (-ed), as a pool reflects the sky, the demands and self-interest of the _financial and commercial sector._ (growing propertied classes)  
~~~

Their policies may set people against each other (viz recent events in the UK with Brexit and the USA with Trump) and their treaties and international agreements may not be in the interests of the people.

Sometimes they also declare wars (both the Vietnam and the Iraq wars being based on lies made by members of the government and promulgated by the media). It seems we can now add Syria to that list:

Don'ts

Perhaps more frequent than the Dos, they may fail to regulate or publish adverse research results concerning products and services which are either bad for you or with which the Precautionary Principle would suggest caution. In previous sections we have looked at a host of areas where no action or minimal action is taken to inform you and to protect your health and your physical and mental well-being. Why not? Sometimes it may be genuine ignorance. Sometimes it may involve the regulators allowing themselves to be convinced. Sometimes the manufacture of doubt (see definitions) may be used to cause or justify inaction.

There are two other things that governments don't do that in principle they could:

Firstly, **they don't create money.**

This is a big subject explained simply here:  
http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=31626  
and here  
http://ellenbrown.com/2015/09/22/time-for-the-nuclear-option-raining-money-on-main-street/

You can see why Henry Ford said:

~~~  
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."  
~~~

 http://www.themoneymasters.com/the-money-masters/famous-quotations-on-banking/  
(You may have to cut and paste this link.)

And secondly, **they do not address over-arching problems**.

Many of the problems in your life and in the world we live in are viewed as what you might call 'stand-alone problems' and time and effort are spent trying to find a solution. Very often, however, these problems are in fact only symptoms of what I should like to call 'Over-arching problems'.

For example, in medicine a problem such as Type 2 diabetes could be addressed by taking drugs, while the over-arching problem is one of nutrition. (Treating the symptom not the disease) The problem of Terrorism can be treated with extreme security measures at airports and in public places, while the over-arching problem of equal sharing of natural resources is not addressed – even acknowledging it as the true problem could lead to massive systemic changes. Repossessions, negative equity, homeless people - even not being able to pay the rent - are symptoms of an over-arching problem with the financial system.

~~~  
When a decision is made to cope with the symptoms of a problem, it is generally assumed that the corrective measures will solve the problem itself. They seldom do.  
Masanobu Fukuoka  
~~~

The overall effect of government action or inaction is to leave things as they are or make them worse.

What can I do?

While it is relatively easy to reduce exposure to toxicity in most of the areas in the Heptagon, in so far as the Government is concerned it is less straightforward.

In the short and medium term, the key is Awareness. If you understand the situation, how it comes about and who it serves, it is game-changing. It drains away (or significantly reduces) fear, and the effect that has on your vibration. Don't allow yourselves to be duped. Use your discernment coupled with what you may have learned of lie-detection (see next section) on the pronouncements of the government.

Straight and Crooked Thinking  
<http://tinyurl.com/y93o98pp>

~~~  
Official pronouncements are designed to gain your consent and acquiescence to a policy.  
~~~

You can also send letters, emails and messages to members of the government – not just once but repeatedly, keeping the topics you feel strongly about bouncing along above the radar. You may feel that voting in elections is worthwhile – or withholding your vote.

Then you have **Satyagraha** (or passive resistance or civil disobedience)

~~~  
When the fear of jail disappears, repression puts heart into the people  
Gandhi  
~~~

And **Boycott**. They gave a war, but nobody turned up. They held an election but nobody voted.

~~~

In the medium term, the effect of widespread knowledge and understanding coupled with the enhanced mental clarity of the population, the effect of lack of fear, and the game-changing shift in spending, will bring about corresponding changes in our need for government and the effect it has on our relationship with the sources of toxicity. For now, you want to position yourself in the centre of the Heptagon, deciding for yourself the nature and extent of your interaction with the different areas.

# Totting up

It might be useful here to spend a few minutes totting up the score so far. Looking back at what we have seen, and seeing how things stand.

Untruths, terminological inexactitudes, suggestio falsi, supressio veri, lies

We started out by saying that you are being – and have been – misinformed, misguided and misled, and that apart from those who are sincerely trying to help you and are acting in what they see as your best interests, others, including government and industry, might have a different agenda of profit, addiction or control.

You can be lied to either  
by being told something that is not true,  
or  
by not being told something that is true.

You may feel from what you have read so far, that a great deal of both has been going on!

What can you do?

You can listen, read, and watch with discernment. Once you are aware of the motivations behind lies, it is easier to spot situations where they might be more probable, and your awareness makes them less likely to succeed because you are less gullible. At the same time, the liar feels greater detection anxiety – he or she is less confident lying because there is a greater risk of your detecting the lie. From the liar's point of view this becomes a vicious circle.

On the receiving end of what may or may not be true, there are two mistakes that **you** can make. One is to believe something that is false, and the other is not to believe something that is true. This is where your intuition can help you. (And this book)

You can also get better at spotting lies –  
<http://tinyurl.com/y99lml6f>  
the book or see her TED talk here  http://www.ted.com/talks/pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_liar?language=en

A rather more theoretical book - Telling Lies - <http://www.paulekman.com/books/>

(The author - Paul Ekman - was the consultant on the American series 'Lie to Me' which gives an idea of what is involved and might get you motivated. See also the link between Microexpressions and intuition in Definitions below.)

Status Quo, the Current Situation

In the Food and Drink section we quoted the book 'Left in the Dark':

If someone set out to devise the worst possible diet with which to build a huge-brained tropical primate, a junk food diet of white bread, crisps, pies, chips, jam, toffee bars, biscuits, sweet fizzy drinks and burgers would be it.

The sentiment could be paralleled for each of the areas we have looked at, so...did someone set out to do this? To devise this diet, to have us living in an electronic soup, breathing poor air, misinformed and badly educated? Or is it just a consequence of the pursuit of profit?

We have looked at the seven areas of your life where scope for change is most significant and in almost all of them there are large 'industries' involved. Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Phone, Big Music and so on. The profits of these industries depend on our continuing to consume their products, or are increased by reductions in its quality, lifespan or efficiency. The situation we are in may not be part of any grand plan to render the populace sick, stupid and obedient, but may only be the result of the pursuit of profit wherever it leads.

~~~  
The love of money is the root of all evil.

Doubt

We may be uncertain whether what we are being told is true or false. We may be uncertain if our situation is intentional or an unintended consequence. There is doubt.

~~~  
Doubt is precious. It cleanses, purifies the mind.  
Krishnamurti

With this healthy and cleansing dose of Doubt, we will move on to physical, mental and spiritual detoxification.

# Detoxing: Physical

The toxins we have been looking at affect you physically, mentally and emotionally and while the body, mind and spirit are inextricably linked and mutually interactive, we look here first at physical and then at the mental and emotional detoxification.

Physical

Your body will happily detox itself if given sleep, fresh air, clean water, good food, exercise, and laughter  
<https://nutritionfacts.org/video/laughter-as-medicine/> .

Your body is very efficient at eliminating toxins. It does this through the liver (> bile ducts > intestines>bowels), the kidneys through the urine, perspiration through the skin, the breath and even in tears. So do nothing to interfere with these processes – such as resisting the call of nature, or using anti-perspirant.

The system evolved when they were fewer and less dangerous toxins than in our modern world, and it is now easy to take on toxins faster than the system can eliminate them – the Threshold mentioned above - (and some such as heavy metals may not be handleable at all). If this is done, the body will have to begin retaining toxins, and depending on a variety of factors, malfunctions will begin to show up. These could be relatively minor: acne or weight gain or migraines, or more serious: heart disease or any of the chronic degenerative diseases. 1000 teenagers a year die of heart attacks in North America, and hypertension and Type 1 diabetes are epidemic.

Threshold management

If you stay over the threshold, the body will try to deal with the excess by passing them out in other ways (causing body odour or bad breath) or buffering them in fat (many toxins are lipophilic) or in water (salt); some will be deposited on the walls of blood vessels, and some incorporated in the cells themselves. Alterations in blood flow and in cell structure will then lead to reduced organ function, including the liver. When the liver function has reduced to below 33% or so, some form of chronic degenerative disease is very likely to develop. There is no knowing how long or what form this will take (it depends on life plan and genetic predisposition)

In the short term toxins that stay on board are likely to make themselves felt in headaches, poor complexion, lack of clarity and a general malaise.

The impossible ideal would be to take on zero toxins, but a realistic goal would be to reduce the take-on of toxins not just down to, but below the elimination threshold, and following the advice in this book should make this easy. There will then be a steady and gentle process of detoxification, stimulated by the intake of nutrients and facilitated by the decreased intake of toxins.

The idea of mega-juicing is to provide the body with extremely high levels of nutrients to return the body to a fully nourished state as rapidly as possible. Cells that take up these nutrients then release toxins they hold and these need to be disposed of equally rapidly.

If your body is severely toxic after many years of being over-threshold - and if malfunctions have started - you may need more intensive detoxification. The coffee enema - explained here  
 http://sawilsons.com/library/basic-coffee-enema-procedure-and-recipe/  
and demonstrated here  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mky3gR8hNFo>  
(height of the bag about 2 feet & a position on your right side with legs drawn up is preferred)  
is very effective but should be combined with juicing if done frequently to avoid electrolyte imbalance. (3 juices to one enema) Juicing is a good way to remedy any deficiencies. (a slow juicer rather than a centrifugal one if you can afford it. See links under Food and Drink)

(Fasting may not be the ideal first step for most people. Since for most people the body is short of nutrients – but not calories – depriving the body of the chance of nutrients by fasting is counter-productive. Depriving it of toxins but upping the nutrients in the first instance is a better strategy. For subsequent detoxifying, see above)

# Detoxing: Mental and Spiritual

Mental, emotional and Spiritual

Your mind will happily detoxify itself if it is in a healthy and well-nourished body, if it is not in a cycle of negative thinking, and if it is given laughter, meditation, and lack of fear.

The **well-nourished body** is important since the brain needs nutrients to function too, and if denied these it _should_ feel depressed - and clearly will not function optimally.

We think that we are in control of our **thoughts** , but really – mostly and most of the time - we are not. The internal situation has been compared to having a monkey on a long chain. You say to yourself that you are in control of the monkey because you have hold of the chain, but in fact the monkey can go wherever it likes on the end of the chain. So it is with the internal mental activity. Your thoughts go where they like, in a fairly disorganised and jumpy manner while you are more an observer than a controller.

Thoughts precede feelings. So, often a particular thought will entrain a feeling – positive (happiness, joy, contentment, love) or negative (anxiety, resentment, guilt, jealousy). And very often the tendency is to focus on and think about those things that are not as we wish in life, and the negative feelings that go with those thoughts fill our being. Thought forms - created by our thoughts - attract like thought forms, so you are in a vicious circle. (See Creation below)

Stop thinking about what you don't want or are fearful of. Move your thoughts onto what you wish to experience.

~~~  
Every single 'I'm not', 'I can't', ' I'm no(t) good (at)' is creative  
~~~

There is a sequence - Thoughts, Words, Actions. You know to avoid negative thoughts and actions; watch the language too.

**Laughter - t** he best medicine for mind and body. Seek out what makes you laugh and enjoy it.

**Meditation -** A simple and regular practice of meditation is really easy to learn and will bring tremendous benefits including a gradual mastery of your thoughts, better physical and mental health, an access to your own inner wisdom (yes, really!), more creativity, less stress, and easier access to your intuition.  
<http://www.ananda.org/meditation/learn-to-meditate/>  
 http://www.selfrealizationcentres.org/pure-meditation-course-284/pure-meditation-foundation/

A regular practice of meditation will also help to raise your vibration; in this connection you may also want to consider also your dietary choices. Meditation is also a good preparation for the practice of visualisation.

**Karma -** the spiritual law of cause and effect, often popularised by the idea that 'What goes around, comes around'. Positive or negative karma is associated with every intentional thought or act (except meditation). You may wish to avoid negative karma.

**What is fear?**

Fear, of course, has a vital role to play in protecting the physical body from immediate and present danger and damage. In this it is superb, providing a speed and strength and accuracy of movement which sometimes seems superhuman.

When fear is used as a motivating factor, however, involving future possibilities and non-physical risks, it clouds perception and prevents an intuitive grasp of reality. It is this misuse of fear as a method of influence and control, that is involved in background fear, and the aim of the next section is to look at some of the major sources of Background Fear – the fear that colours our perception of life and affects how we feel day-to-day - and which is not diminished over time, but quite regularly topped up. This is the principal mental and emotional toxin with which the world is suffused - Fear.  
If you realize that these fears are baseless or deliberately introduced, perhaps you can shrug off the weight they put on your shoulders, lift your eyes from the pavement, and free your spirits.

The objective, here as elsewhere in the book, is to help to drain away the fear, leaving the structure or proposition that used to cause it still standing for the time being.

The mainspring of every human action is either Fear or Love

# Fewer Lies - Less Fear

_You are being told about things that are not true and which lead to fear_

Living in a Land of Dragons

Imagine that you lived in a land or a town under the threat of a dragon. Often the town-crier would report sightings of the dragon, from time to time farms would be burned to the ground, or travellers or animals devoured. The presence and fear of the dragon would colour your entire world, what you could do, where you could go, your plans for the future, how much you spent on dragon defence measures or treatment for people afflicted by dragon-borne plague, what you talked about in the inn and how your felt in yourself. You would be living in a state of Background Fear. (possibly compounded by lack of the wherewithal to pay for food, clothing and shelter.)

What would then happen if you heard rumours that the town-crier had been given and believed false reports of dragon-sightings, that farm burnings had been planned and carried out but not by the dragon, and that no travellers had ever lost their lives – at least, not to any dragon? But who would have started false rumours? Who would have been able to orchestrate the farm burnings? What on earth could their motive for doing such extraordinary things have been? Could the lack of money also not have been accidental? Who would it all serve?

We are living in a similar situation. The causes of Background Fear in our case are figurative dragons featuring every day on the TV news or in the newspapers. Feelings of separation from others, and competition and conflict with others, is fostered.

And there are rumours – or more than rumours: evidence – that you need not be so frightened of these figurative dragons. This must be a good thing, even if you find that the fear is replaced by curiousity to know the answers to the questions above. Who? What? Why?

WARNING! Strong medicine.

Some readers have found the information in this section – or the questions engendered by it – to be 'Too big' and it is true that what follows calls into question our confidence in the integrity, motives and safety of the paradigm in which we live. Be gentle with yourself.

Remember the statement at the beginning of the book:  
Accepting one true statement into your belief system can cause a total realignment of that belief system.

In each of the following areas we will draw your attention to one statement or fact or point of view. We suggest that you use this as a Discernment Focus and if it resonates with you and you accept it, you can take it within and see how it affects the alignment of your belief system.

(Focus on the one thing and the ramifications it has for your belief system. It is common habit of thought and conversation to say 'It's like...' or 'Yes, and...' and in developing the comparison or adding a further thought, to lose your focus and dilute the impact.)

Here are some of the most frequently encountered and frightening sources of Background Fear:

Terrorism

Fear of terrorism, while it is renewed from time to time by subsequent events, is firmly based on the terrible events witnessed world-wide when the Two Towers (actually three buildings) came down on 9/11. Our suggestion here is to compare youtube footage of buildings in different places that have to be demolished neatly without damaging neighbouring buildings. **The method used is called Controlled Demolition** which results in the building falling very neatly onto its own footprint. If you look at the linked videos here  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaBQ3AkRetI>  
& Hewlett Packard buildings  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcb37yyHgT8>  
& a compilation  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drWJ-liZMLM>

and also at pictures of buildings damaged in earthquakes or by long fires, you can decide for yourself whether the buildings in NY appear to have been demolished the same way. You do not need to be a scientist or engineer to see what things look like. If you feel that the three building in NY appear to have been demolished in the same way, you also need to know that only a handful of companies in the world can carry out this type of very complicated job neatly and that these companies need access to the building for months before the big day. (It is also the case that the two towers were specifically designed to resist impact by aircraft.) More information from architects and engineers  
<http://www.ae911truth.org/>  
and comparison of different causes of building destruction at 9.45 and 12.0 onwards here  
<https://beta.ae911truth.org/evidence/videos/video/5-9-11-blueprint-for-truth>

You will find on the internet many other aspects of these events which may or may not be valid, but if you focus on the one thing – controlled demolition (if that is your conclusion) and its implications – your energy will not be dissipated in disagreement or uncertainty. What does controlled demolition imply? Who does this serve? What effects does your possible new view of the event have on your view of subsequent terrorist attacks and current airport security measures?

Cancer

The most feared of the chronic degenerative diseases, the Big C. The normal treatments (and the only legal treatments in many countries) are Chemotherapy, Radiation, or Surgery. Our assertion here is that **there has been an effective treatment available since the 1920s to treat cancers of all kinds** – including colon, breast, and prostate cancer, for anybody willing to change their toxic non-nutritive lifestyle.  
The therapy is hard work, but is non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical - it is also illegal for doctors to recommend it in many parts of the world. Who does this serve?

The treatment is The Gerson Therapy and the recommendations include many in different sections of this book. The Toxicity and Deficiency aetiology of many diseases was first proposed by Dr Max Gerson, whose therapy is **also** effective in the treatment of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, lupus, migraines, and many other degenerative diseases, as well as the cravings for tobacco and so-called recreational drugs. See their website at  
<http://gerson.org/gerpress/>

and here – a long series of lectures  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djGsjWwJThw>

Dying to have known  
<http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/dying-to-have-known/> (Free)

The therapy makes extensive use of a plant-based diet supplemented with vegetable juices and therefore makes nobody any money except the market-gardeners.

The late Dr Gonzales used a similar approach and talks here on chemotherapy: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24YkS4bwHvs>

Even 'conventional' medicine now finds that prostate cancer can be slowed and reversed by diet. Did you know that the progress of a cancer could be reversed? That such a thing was even possible.  
 https://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-advanced-prostate-cancer-with-diet-part-2/

(Pass on this information to parents and older relations – some diseases can be slowed, arrested or reversed.)

Wouldn't it be terrible if the suffering, pain, and anguish of so many people could be completely avoided by radical lifestyle changes they would be happy to make? And if the wisdom of making these changes would become evident in a few weeks, why would they not make them?

A reason to preserve the status quo? "More people live off cancer than die of it"

(Note that a wide range of substances can work against cancer cells - you hear of laetrile, vitamin C, bicarbonate of soda, cannabis oil and others. But without rebuilding the body's own healing mechanism and immune system, without restoring the 'terrain', healing is unlikely in the long term.)

Financial Crisis and Austerity Financial worries, Mortgages, and Job loss

The government of **every country could issue its own currency free of debt and interest**.

The financial system which operates in most countries today makes it inevitable that some people are going to lose their jobs and their houses

Interestingly this seems contemporaneous with the Medieval Warm Period.

AIDS/HIV

The Perth Group in Australia  
<http://www.theperthgroup.com/INTERVIEWS/cjepe.html>  
maintains that the so-called human-immuno-deficiency virus – **HIV- has in fact never been isolated** (that is, proved to exist) in the rigorous way normally required for scientific acceptance. The collapse of the immune system is postulated as caused by chronic malnutrition in one of the two most at-risk groups, and misuse of muscle-relaxant drugs in the other. The drugs used to treat AIDS are potentially very toxic to the already damaged immune system. It is suggested that hyper-nutrition and a course of ordinary antibiotics could be effective in its treatment.

Lack

Not so much a Background Fear as a Background Lie: there isn't enough food, water, energy, money... Inculcated from an early age and continuously reinforced, it leads to a 'lack mentality', inhibiting giving, restricting sharing, encouraging greed and competition for what are seen as scarce rewards and resources, and not enjoying the abundance of life. (See under Sponsoring Thoughts above) **There is enough.**

Peak Oil

<http://www.gasresources.net/>

The other possibility here is that both groups (biotic and abiotic) are right. Oil may form through both processes. If so, then **oil may not be as limited a resource** as we currently surmise.  
<http://www.petroleum.co.uk/abiotic-oil-formation>

Climate Change

There is not one piece of empirical evidence that shows that **carbon dioxide produced by mankind** is causing climate change or major warming. It is not even certain that the warming we are seeing at the moment is caused by greenhouse gases, and there is no scientific consensus on the matter. But for a teacher, academic or scientist to say this could put them in an awkward situation. Galileo would understand.

What is harmful here is that young peoples' zeal for beneficial global change sparked by the intuitive realisation that the planet and its residents are in a mess, has been harnessed to a convenient untruth. The resetting needed lies elsewhere, while the response to natural climate change lies in adaptation and preparation, not emulating King Canute.

Be clear that the science is not settled. The author remembers the 'settled science' of the 1970s/80s: global cooling, and an exciting book called The Sixth Winter about the triggering of the next ice age.

Who does this serve? Apart from the jobs of legions of officials and organisations including the IPCC, and the funding of institutions, and the banks running the carbon trading schemes, there are some individuals too:

Stress

Stress is often blamed for a whole variety of mental and physical problems, but the healthy body is designed to be able to deal with a certain amount of stress – which is a natural feature of our environment. (There may be a problem, however, if severe stress is experienced by a deficient and toxic organism – it may be the last straw.)

The normal **problem is rather what we do as a result of the stress** , sleeping less and less well, eating badly and hurriedly, drinking coffee to keep going, drinking alcohol or smoking more to relax, for example.

(Citing stress as the cause of a problem also lets the doctor off the hook. Stress is your problem, and if it is not easily avoided you feel more stressed!)

War and Violence

Acting on the over-arching problems from the knowledge that **'We are all one', and that 'There is enough'** would result in sharing what we have and not taking from others what they have. This would drastically reduce the likelihood of war and violence. Redistributing the trillions of dollars spent on the military (and healthcare) and using the military logistic resources for distribution of aid, would probably be a rapid route to world peace. (Of course some people enjoy violence or think it is a way of solving problems, so there would still be isolated outbreaks)

Death

And even...

Sunlight

**Sunlight itself is not harmful** , but if there is a long exposure, if your body is over the toxic threshold, and if your body is deficient generally – but particularly in Vitamin D as a result of poor diet and sun avoidance – then you are more likely to have problems. Try to sit or lie in the sun whenever you have the time and opportunity, but for short periods at first paying attention to your intuition when you feel 'That'll do'

"The draconian message that people should never be exposed to sunlight without sun protection is totally unwarranted and should be replaced with the message that sensible sun exposure is good for overall health and well-being. Hypovitaminosis D (vitamin D deficiency) has been linked... to increased risk of tuberculosis... to increased risk of type I diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and cancers of the colon, breast, prostate, ovaries, and other organs."

Strategy

The strategy now is to allow the purveyors of fear to continue to dominate in appearance while the source of their power – the fear of the people - is subtly drained away.

#  More Truth – More Joy

_You are_ _not_ _being told about things that may be or are true and that lead to fearlessness_

...and the truth shall set you free.

There are many things that could help us to have a positive outlook on the world and our place in it, or make our lives easier physically. Often we are not given information about these concepts, methods or resources either at all, or at a time when it could be useful. Here we will try to redress the balance by giving a brief idea of what is available – it will be for you to follow up the items.

Your brain

A Do you realise that in everyday life you only use 20% of your brain?  
B Wow! (Pause) Well...but what do you do with the other 20%

Your brain is fantastic and infinitely superior to any techno-toy Silicon Valley can create. You have a hundred billion neurons in your brain and an even huger number of links and potential combinations through which they can interact.

You have very much the same material and chemistry between your ears as the Autistic Savants - who is to say that their prodigious abilities of calculation, auditory and visual memory and perception are not glimpses of an alternative normalcy accessible through different training and expectations.

~~~  
Argue for your limitations, and they are yours.  
Richard Bach  
~~~

Unfortunately, the more you use electronic devices, the less you access the brain's functions and the less confidence you have in them. The less confidence you have in them, the less well they serve you! At the same time the EMFs from the devices can cause physical degradation of brain tissue itself and of the blood/brain barrier which filters toxins.  
Ways of using your brain for creativity and memory form part of the Homeplay programme. Check it out.

A great target would be the abilities outlined in Limitless (the book, the movie and the series) but without the drugs and the downside!

Your being

You are not a physical being having occasional spiritual experiences, but a spiritual being having a physical experience.

Your body

What you think of as your body is - at its simplest - a superimposition in one place of your physical body, your etheric body and your astral body.

The etheric body can be thought of as a template on which your physical body is based. It explains the 'phantom limb' sensation experienced by amputees. It takes time to separate from the physical body after death. Many societies recognise this by delaying burial for three days.

The astral body - accompanied by your awareness - separates from the physical during sleep (but remains linked by the silver cord) or during astral travelling. It explains the phenomenon of out-of-body experiences, and the 'jolt' occasionally felt during interrupted separation when falling asleep.

The food, water and air needed by the body are suffused with Prana - also necessary for life processes. Intake and use of Prana can be enhanced by special aware breathing exercises in Yoga.

Reality and Creation

This is included because if it is time for you to know it, it must be somewhere. You create your own reality. What you think about repeatedly and with feeling, will show up in your life. You may find yourself thinking about something you don't want and your thoughts are accompanied by intense worry or fear. You are in the creation process. Or you could choose to turn your thoughts to a desired state of affairs, accompanied by thoughts of joy or gratitude even though it has not yet manifested. Have confidence in the process, and visualise the end result.

(The creative process can be conscious or unconscious, so what you bring about may not be something you are conscious of - hence the problem with some of the symbols and thoughts being introduced under your guard by the music industry, advertising, media, fairy stories or movies of them).

Be careful - if you start by looking at what is already around you and working from there, you're going to get into a sort of feedback loop by reinforcing what is already there.

~~~  
When human beings take their behavioural cues from the world around them, feedback results:  
Ken Carey - Vision  
~~~

Examples of negative creative behaviour:  
\- mantra-like repetition of 'I'm not' 'I can't' 'I'm not good at'  
\- strong images of health or other outcomes accompanied by worry  
\- angry repetition of 'Why does (s)he always do x, y or z?' (take away the question 'why' to see the creative impulse)

Creating! It's what you are doing all the time anyway, so you might as well take control.

Your planet

Everything necessary for your physical nutrition grows on or out of the surface of the planet. Water flows on the surface or falls from the sky. Energy beams down upon it (about 1kw per sq metre) Material for shelter grows in abundance. Trees and plants absorb the carbon dioxide you breathe out and generate oxygen for you to breathe. Nature is our external metabolism.

Imbalance: <https://xkcd.com/1338/>

Problems

What we regard as problems in our personal or collective life are often only symptoms of the over-arching problems (mentioned above) that we do not address or are often not even aware of.

# Action Plan

~~~  
You **can** change the world. You **must** change the world.  
Howard Lyman, Cowspiracy  
~~~

What can you do **now** , as a result of what you have read in this book? How can the Heptagon Protocol deliver what is offered on the cover of this book?

First of all, the book will have to go viral, or break out in a big way. Nothing will happen if the only readers are my family, or if it is removed by distributors from their lists. So please...

**Spread the word** , tell others of the existence of this book and an idea of what you have read and some examples – and then it is up to them. Everybody has total free will, including the free will not to know things! So go easy, and curb any missionary zeal you may feel. Where you feel it is right, **Pay it forward** : tell 3 people.

(If this material is no longer available through orthodox channels for some reason, just copy it by photocopy or electronically. Feel free to pass it on)

While absorbing such of what you have read as seems true to you and while deciding to what extent you are going to draw it into your life, **Keep Calm and Carry On** – for the moment – especially avoiding any negative or violent thoughts, images, words or actions. Don't be against toxins or those who distribute them – be pro nutrients, peace, clarity, joy and health

Be aware that humanity is going to need some time to reorganize thoughts and actions. Some things of course can change quickly and easily, but entire systems of agriculture and total ways of thinking take time.

~~~  
If people begin to understand that change comes about as a result of a million tiny acts that seem totally insignificant, well then, they wouldn't hesitate to take those tiny acts.  
Howard Zinn  
~~~

Then, of course, **you can use the information** in the different sections to guide you - if you feel they are valid for you – to make different choices, and to start **moving in the direction** of a less toxic life - maybe one element from each side of the heptagon every day of the week.

Avoid or reduce your contact with **toxic activities and substances** – by not buying them, by moving them out of your living space, by going somewhere else if you need to. Do this nicely, politely and inconspicuously. You don't want people who are still happy to use them, to feel judged or foolish.

Avoid or reduce contact with **people** involved in activities you feel do not serve you, or involved in the production, provision and marketing of goods and services that you feel uncomfortable with, or whose job involves slaughter of people or animals. This includes intimate and sexual contact which, in turn, might cause others to re-evaluate their choices.

This process of **gentle disengagement** with what does not serve you would carry through into your economic life. You might decide to avoid (or repay) all loans whether on a credit card or a mortgage. You might decide simply not buy a new microwave, smartphone, perfume, soda, newspaper, song, or item produced by slaves. You might find you no longer need some pharmaceutical remedy you are accustomed to. You might not worry if you get a lower mark in your academic work, or not buy into the latest media frenzy.

These millions of in-themselves-insignificant acts would tremble through the economic, political and social web, resulting in lower profits for companies with toxic products, lower trust and influence in and of the media, and lower involvement and participation in toxic activities

It is in this way that a Global Detox could well work – and work quickly – not with a bang, but when people recognise the game and stop playing.

Millions of small changes will cause a 'disturbance in the force'; widespread meditation and powerful visualisations, leading to greater peace, and changes in educational systems, banking systems, industry and political systems.  
<http://www.worldpeacegroup.org/washington_crime_study.html>

Apart from small changes and gentle disengagement, if there is actually something wrong with you physically or mentally, then try putting into practice what you see here. You have nothing to lose except whatever is wrong with you. For some people this might just be a question of fine-tuning – a little more of this or a little less of that. For others, it could be wholesale change: no more cigarettes or e-cigarettes, more fruit juice and less soda, switch to airplane mode for an hour a day. Whatever makes your heart sing.

Don't limit yourself to making small changes in your own toxic exposure. The **flip side** in each case is where you are the one giving people toxic food, you are providing medicines, causing air pollution, EMF pollution, playing music loud, spreading news stories, teaching people. Take stock of your role and, if you feel to, take action.

And if you are aware of extortionate prices, unacceptable quality, known risks, illegal procedures, or planned obsolescence - consider sharing this information.

Don't be intimidated. Be aware of / remember the power of words like rational, scientific, evidence-based, quack etc to 'whip you back into line'. Also, of course, the epithets ( - denier, -denialist, -denialism - ist, -arian, Hold on to your intuitive prompting

What can you do if the truth you feel you now know is not yet in the collective consciousness? Spread the word (see above), use visualisation and wait. Allow time for what for some people will be dramatic changes.

Secondly, there is more general immediate action...

Sit up straight and stand tall.

Not braced but balanced and erect, relaxed and lengthened. This is called Tadasana in Yoga and you can see how to do it here:  
<http://www.yogaoutlet.com/guides/how-to-do-mountain-pose-in-yoga>  
It gives you a different perspective, it helps the energy flow in your spine, your breathing and your internal organs to function properly. It is part of the Heptagon Protocol.  
(Possibly hitherto you have been weighed down by what you have intuitively perceived as an untruth that you were forced to live and join in with)

Take time **to learn to meditate**. Meditation forms also part of yoga and works on the mind to calm, strengthen and balance it as Hatha yoga is beneficial for the physical body. <http://www.ananda.org/meditation/learn-to-meditate/>  
 http://selfrealizationcentresvideos.org/srmhc-courses/pure-meditation/

Learn **visualization**   
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0EeKhBqumM>  
and visualize a breakthrough.  
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSyLHYunB24>  
At least give yourself some daily creation time - maybe five minutes. Move your focus onto what you wish to experience and how you wish the world to be and dwell on that with gratitude.

Take up **Hatha Yoga** – the physical form of the practice of yoga. There are many different styles of Hatha yoga; the aerobic forms are splendid physical exercise but do not comprise the meditation-in-movement of the more subtly effective forms.

**Clean up** the place you have been polluting. That means your home, your land, your town, your country and the planet. Plant a fruit tree.

The **life sequence** of the current paradigm in 1st and 2nd world countries is  
Pre-school – Schools at different levels – (College or university) – Employment – Retirement  
and what goes on at each stage may not be good for you or serve you. Be aware of the alternatives. We looked at other ways of studying and credentialing in the Education section. For employment, try to find an overlap between what you like doing and are good at, and what people will pay you for. This need not at all fit with conventional Good Jobs. You could also throw your weight and enthusiasm behind  
 alternative payment models.  
Review your goals and way of life. Review the paradigm's view of people without jobs.

~~~  
If a computer or a robot could be doing it, you shouldn't be.  
~~~

Be prepared for Consequences

High Stakes are being played for in many of these areas and ALL lengths will be gone to, to maintain the status quo. (There is, of course, no reason why your protocol should not stay largely below the radar.)

<http://www.thrivemovement.com/who-killing-healers-and-why.blog>  
 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/merck-created-hit-list-to-destroy-neutralize-or-discredit-dissenting-doctors/

Be clear that the consequences of your choices might not be immediately what you would choose.

~~~  
"When the fear of jail disappears, repression puts heart into the people"  
Gandhi  
~~~

Reflect

What are the ramifications and implications of the foregoing on your worldview and daily activities? What are the 'apparently insignificant acts' that you can carry out?

In the international sphere – Quit Provoking People

Give the current paradigm less energy, and more energy to what you wish to experience.

Choose health rather than disease. Seek truth rather than fiction. Act out of Love rather than fear.

# Definitions & Miscellaneous

Alternative Choice close

In selling this is also called the Assumptive Close: 'Would you like the red one or the green one?' starts people thinking about which colour they would like rather than whether they would like it at all. It is only included here because it has cropped up in the context of cancer therapy: 'Would you like the three month programme of chemotherapy at dose x, or the six month course at dose y?'

Assertiveness

Be clear that somebody who wants you to do something should state what they want. You then state what you want. If what you both want is different you need to find some way to decide who gets what they want. You could toss a coin. Or go your own ways. There should be no emotional manipulation. No mental compulsion. No physical coercion.

See 'When I say no I feel guilty' for details on the techniques to achieve this state. <http://tinyurl.com/ycaq97u9>

Business

All original wealth comes from the soil.  
What the earth gives, civilisation sells.  
The capitalist system involves depriving someone of ownership first.  
Business involves getting people to pay more for something than it cost - often the cost was zero.

Catalyst

Something that happens. Any event or circumstance in the world, in your life. It is neither good nor bad. How you react to it and what you learn from it is part of the reason you are here.

~~~  
'...for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.' Hamlet  
~~~

Collective Consciousness or Collective Mind  
The Collective is like the group mind, and in the same way that the individual creates his or her own reality, so the collective imposes its own formulation of the possible. And in the same way that time is needed and new synapses are needed (see What the Bleep do we know?) for individuals to change their conception of reality, so the collective needs time to absorb the possibility of and realise (=make real) a change. Nudging the collective in the direction of change is one of the purposes of this book.

An example of the effect of the collective is in the universal assumption that to learn a new language takes a significant amount of time. Think how long it is generally accepted that such an activity would take - and then compare your answer with Kenneth Hale's:  
<http://www.economist.com/node/842137>

Conflicts of interest where a scientist is funded by the company which makes the product he is evaluating, or **revolving doors** from corporate to political life and back again. For example  http://www.realfarmacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/realfarm-venn.jpg . This is particularly important in the fields of energy, defence, agri-business and pharmaceuticals.

Counter-mimicry  
Copies an image but converts it to a set of values contrary to its original meaning

An interesting possible application would be the Garden of Eden story. The forbidden food would be the flesh of fellow creatures, the effects of consumption would be lowering of vibrational level which would result in inability to access – exclusion from - higher states of consciousness (as well as lowering of physical well-being and longevity), the remedy would be to return to plant-based foods symbolised by the apple, the remedy being offered by one with knowledge of medicine symbolised by the serpent (cf the Rod of Asclepius)  
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius>

Crop Circles

This is really the elephant in the room. There are so many. They are so big and beautiful. They are so impossible to make. They rarely feature in the mainstream media. If you have even heard of crop circles you might think that they don't really merit too much reflection (how do they get there? who makes them? and why?) at least partly because you only come across them occasionally (why?) and in isolation, and you have heard somewhere the idea that they are made by hoaxers who go from a pub into a dark field with some bits of rope and planks just to have a bit of fun. Nothing in the media ever goes beyond this scenario. Look at them on the internet – the variety, the sheer number. Try and make one yourself as a school activity.

Two key concepts become relevant when you realise how they are created: Disclosure and First Contact.

Debt

~~~  
'There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt'  
President John Adams  
~~~

See Slavery below.

When you borrow money, it is not borrowed from other people to lend to you nor does the bank take any action. The money is just produced out of thin air by a computer entry - within the constraints of the fractional reserve system. This lack of 'consideration' could be argued as invalidating the contract, as was argued here:  
 https://criminalbankingmonopoly.wordpress.com/montgomery-vs-daly/

Also, only enough money is produced to cover the sum you borrowed, not the sum you borrowed plus the interest you are going to have to pay back. It's a no brainer, then that everyone is going to be chasing round trying to get enough money to pay their debts and the interest when this easily calculable sum has very deliberately not been created. This is intentionally created scarcity (see above)

Impartial sources such as Wikipedia, for many the first and relied-on port of call, are not as impartial as you might think: some editors receive payment from organisations to edit pages.  
 http://www.ibtimes.com/wikipedia-paid-edits-companies-pay-top-dollar-firms-willing-fix-their-entries-1449172  
Nor are other trusted sources such as TED talks always right - this article questions the validity of a recent talk:  
 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/georgemonbiot/2014/aug/04/eat-more-meat-and-save-the-world-the-latest-implausible-farming-miracle

Micro Expressions

Facial expressions which occur within 1/25th of a second and reveal a person's true emotions if they are trying to hide them from themselves or from you. These expressions are universal and reveal anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, contempt and happiness. More here:  
<http://www.paulekman.com/micro-expressions/>  
Anyone can learn to spot concealed emotions with proper training, but apparently the brain activity of people faced with these expressions reacts to them even though the individual is not consciously aware of having seen them. This is one category of information that use of your intuition makes available to you.

Money creation

'...governments that have dared to create their own money have generally wound up dealing with a presidential assassination, a coup, a boycott, a war, or a concerted assault on the national currency by international speculators.'  
The Web of Debt p101  
<http://tinyurl.com/y9fntm8t>

Negative Glamour

Negative glamour refers to the exciting attraction exerted by a certain type of information. You read about the possible rise in sea levels and there are maps of places that may end up under water. Or photoshopped images of capital cities and monuments surrounded by sea. This sort of fascination is often referred to as negative glamour.

Planetary Game

If you think of life as a Grand Game, it is useful to know that there are one or two fundamental rules.

1. You have free will - to know or not to know - you could always have put this book down.  
Free will must not be denied or action taken to deprive a person of it - like by telling them something they do not choose to know.

2. You have the facts - often hidden in plain sight - to accept or to reject.  
The facts must be available - this book goes some way to present you with some of the relevant facts.

3. You have a choice - to be free or to be enslaved.  
You must choose - coercion is against the rules.

Here is a short passage from the Ra Material (1980s) mentioned above. Throughout the material Ra speaks of the Law of One and how different understandings of it lead the individual to devote themselves to either Service to Self or Service to Others. Everybody lies somewhere on the spectrum between the two extremes. This passage speaks of those devoted to Service to Self, what they become and what they seek to do.  
~~~  
_Ra: I am Ra. As all, they_ (the crusaders) _follow the Law of One observing free will. Contact is made with those who call. Those then upon the planetary sphere act much as do you (the people recording and disseminating the Ra Material) to disseminate the attitudes and philosophy of their particular understanding of the Law of One which is service to self. These become the elite. Through these, the attempt begins to create a condition whereby the remainder of the planetary entities_ _are enslaved by their free will._

Questioner: Can you name any names that may be known on the planet that are recipients of the crusaders' efforts?

_Ra: I am Ra. I am desirous of being in non-violation of the free will distortion. To name those involved in the future of your space/time is to infringe; thus, we withhold this information. We request your contemplation of the fruits of the actions of those entities whom you may observe enjoying the distortion towards power. In this way you may discern for yourself this information. We shall not interfere with the, shall we say, planetary game. It is not central to the harvest._  
~~~

We are the 'planetary entities' mentioned. Do you think we are moving towards - or away from - enslavement by our free will?

(And who are the crusaders mentioned? What are the chariots Ra speaks of them travelling in? Where are they travelling to and from? No spoilers here - you will need to read the material)

Not going with the flow:

'For those who resonate with this cause, this mission, it is fundamental to understand that at the moment the flow is moving in the direction of completion of the plan for enslavement. It is vital that the intention to change this becomes the turning point within this flow to reverse this flow. It is literally necessary to cause this flow to bend in midstream and change directions toward the creation of the new paradigm of experience for all life on this planet. At the foundation of this change is the intention to do this.' MttGC

Study Design and Methodology

A scientific study can sometimes be designed to produce a particular result, not necessarily to convince people hearing of the results - confusion is often enough. This is the same as the manufacture of doubt (see above) Here are one or two examples:

 https://nutritionfacts.org/video/bold-indeed-beef-lowers-cholesterol/

and on 'false equivalency'

and also on 'measurement error, confounding, and reverse causality':

Slavery

Three forms of slavery have been or are being practised on planet earth.

Imposed Disposal Slavery

As practised by early American religious groups and others throughout history. The slaves are used with minimum care or maintenance until they die, and are then replaced by others. This presupposes a large pool of available slaves and minimal ability to resist on the part of the victims.

Imposed Maintenance Slavery

As practised in the American South for a long period and still currently by corporations in third world countries. This requires a certain minimum expenditure on maintenance and enforcement and is always susceptible to censure from other parts of the world - or escape.

Consensual or 'Wage' Slavery

A more sophisticated model requiring less effort and resulting in a much higher level of 'work' from the victims, it is much more entertaining and has the added satisfaction that the victims are unaware of – and if well programmed will deny the reality of – the setup. The model is self-regulating with participants themselves involved in its administration and by social pressures enforcing conformity with the rules.

To operate this system a medium of exchange is established with which participants are 'paid' for their time and work (this is a one way exchange – they can never buy back the time) and they can exchange this medium for objects or services they value. You can influence what is currently valued and ensure you have control of its supply. You will also have total control of the creation of the medium of exchange and ensure that there is never enough in circulation for all people to be able to fulfil their obligations. In this way a strong feeling of lack is engendered in the participants, leading to fear, a feeling of separation from, and competition with, others. This fear is important in the maintenance of control, for if the fear is removed and the system recognised for what it is, major changes will be possible. (Apart from control of the supply of the medium of exchange, it is also desirable to have control of the media and sub-groups of the participants who can use force in extremis to support the system. Likewise technology needs to be adequate, but anything that might lighten the load should be suppressed.)

There is now more slavery in the world than ever before.

~~~  
A slave or a servant is someone who works to advance the goals and visions of other men.

Synergy

Sometimes referred to as the 2+2=5 concept. The combined action of two or more things causes an effect greater than the effect of the individual items separately.

In practice, out there on the 'stage' of public life, we hold key positions in all of these main areas of importance. With the addition of a complicit Media machine and ownership of your Financial establishments, all bases are covered." Anon.

# Creed for Our Times

Listed below are some of the things you really have to believe to live comfortably in our current social paradigm from day to day...

I believe . . .

that it's OK to sit in front of the TV for extended periods of time and/or have it on in the background

that the Government will do and is doing everything they can in the interests of the people

that we are alone in the universe and Stephen Hawkin has got his maths wrong

that the media – newspapers and TV – will tell us everything we need to know, and everything they say is true

that the pharmaceutical industry is constantly looking for cures and is doing its best to keep and make us well

that mobile phones, microwave ovens and computers are harmless

that the Mayans – and many others - were wrong about 2011-2012 being a time of rebirth

that the Twin Towers and Building 7 came down as a result of impact and fire (no impact actually in the case of Building 7) and not as the result of controlled demolition which takes months to set up

that Organic food is not really better for you than normal food

that tap water is perfectly healthy (and fluoride is a sensible additive)

that the money for your mortgage was not created out of thin air on a computer screen, so if you have to hand the keys to your house to the bank that makes perfect sense

that wars are a good way of solving problems

that life is all about survival of the fittest

that schools are about educating and developing our children and have nothing to do with preparing people to fit into the system. Anyway, they don't do the children any harm

that its really important to have a lot of things, preferably the latest, the fastest, the widest or the most fashionable

that there is not enough in the world to go round so some people have to go without

that we are all separate from our fellow men and women

that we've got to have a job – preferably well-paid and with good prospects

that growth - economic and financial, but not spiritual – is the name of the game

that it makes sense to have to pay for land – to buy or rent, and for water and energy

that calling something a conspiracy theory has nothing to do with stopping people thinking before they've even started

that vaccinations are really good for babies and children – or at least for society at large

that the independent city-states of the Vatican, the City of London and Washington DC are not the religious, financial and military world power centres respectively

that Walt Disney and fairy tales are harmless fun

that popular music is just entertainment and it is cool to be evil

that the occasional terror alert, hurricane exaggeration, and pandemic scare is nothing to do with maintaining a constant background level of fear that makes us accept limitations to freedom

that we are physical beings (having the occasional spiritual experience) - not spiritual beings having a rather non-stop physical experience – so drugs and alcohol don't affect anything important

and there's nothing we can do about anything anyway

About the Author

During a working lifetime of teaching (riding and driving, English as a foreign language, reeling, meditation and Hatha Yoga) the author has always sought the method, conditions and attitude of mind of the learner to make himself unnecessary and for the students to realize as rapidly as possible their own true potential. It is this desire for people to thrive that manifests itself ultimately in this book.

He himself was one of the 'sincerely wrong' mentioned in the book and would like to apologize to his children for the unreflecting transmission to them of all the tenets of the paradigm. Hopefully this book and the work leading up to it will go some way to undo any damage done. He lives in France with his wife and three children.

Caveat

The author is not a doctor or a scientist, but has always been involved in teaching and giving people information that helps them realize their true potential. He does not seek to persuade or convince, but only to draw attention to certain ideas.

Also, everybody he has spoken to has encouraged him to get the information 'out there' as soon as possible. eBooks are a wonderful medium since the reader is entitled to the latest version or revision of the book so that further links and references can be added. This book is therefore work in progress. Feedback would be welcomed.

This book is for...

This book is intended for **young people** who still have the time, energy and inclination to do something with the ideas given here. They are less likely than older people to be so tightly ensnared in the web of consensus, they have not lost almost completely the conviction that there must be something more to life, and they have perhaps the energy and lack of commitments that will allow them to follow their hearts.

If you are an **older reader** , you may choose to reject as dangerous, unsettling, baseless nonsense what you see here. Or you may choose, like the author, to recognise that not only have you been mistaken but that you also – possibly – perpetuated in your turn what you were taught. Of course you believed what you were told, but that does not mean that you cannot now benefit from the truth.

If you are **ill** – mentally or physically – do not stop or change any treatment or medication without consulting your doctor. Consider, in addition, this quote.
