Lead me from dreaming to waking.
Lead me from opacity to clarity.
Lead me from the complicated to the simple. Lead me from the obscure to the obvious. Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am.
Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left,
Where there is peace, and peace -from the Upanishads- Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain..
...inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi! so listen to the mahayogi..,grasshopper from heaven...
.
In silence there must be movement, and in motion,
There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big one..
No movement is better than a small one..listen!
Silence is all the movement's mother..
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.
-- Wang Xiangzhai(November 26, 1885 - July 12, 1963}
What is referred to as mindlessness is absence of the human
mentality; what is referred to as mindfulness is mindfulness of the
Tao. When one is free of the human mentality, the mutual sensing of
the earthly and celestial is swift; when one is mindful of the Tao,
effective practice endures. Swiftness of sensing comes about
spontaneously, without cultivation, without striving; long
perseverance comes about through effort, and involves action and
striving. Striving and non-striving each has its secret; the
distinction is all a matter of the absence of the human mentality
and the presence of mindfulness of the Tao. After one has reached
complete realization of the universal Tao, neither existence nor
nonexistence remain; others and self are ultimately empty, and one
enters the state of ultimate truthfulness, like a spirit. Here, it
is not only the human mentality that cannot be applied; even the
mindfulness of Tao is not applicable." - Liu I-ming
The Conduct of the Moon and Clouds
The consistent conduct of people of the Way is like the flowing clouds with no grasping mind, like the full moon reflecting universally, not confined anywhere, glistening within each of the ten thousand forms.
Dignified and upright, emerge and make contact with the variety of phenomena, unstained and unconfused. Function the same toward all others since all have the same substance as you. Language cannot transmit this, speculation cannot reach it. Leaping beyond the infinite and cutting off the dependent, be obliging without looking for merit.
This marvel cannot be measured with consciousness or emotion. On the journey accept your function, in your house please sustain it. Comprehending birth and death, leaving causes and conditions, genuinely realize that from the outset your spirit is not halted. So we have been told that the mind that embraces all the ten directions does not stop anywhere.
-- Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157)
*note* you think you need food?..all you need is water and salt.
Have you ever met those pruned looking hunchbacks of Nostradamus old women...about 1 meter tall?
When you walk on the street?...
no joy in their faces..just the pruned face like the Texas coyote's hapless
wrinkles and waves on his chin bones?? ?
Why is this ISSUE with water..why nobody drinks water anymore?
Is obvious after I busted my coyote mahayogi ass telling people...,,drink water,,
They rather die ..than drink it.
But we all die in the end..
No?

Now listen to Bob Butts!!..
http://citizensvoice.com/arts-living/local-auto-parts-dealer-swears-by-the-water-cure-1.831427
Local auto parts dealer swears by the 'water cure'
KINGSTON - Although he is an auto parts dealer, Bob Butts spends a fortune trying to cure people's health problems.
Over the last 16 years, the owner of Cee-Kay Auto Parts stores has
spent more than $600,000 advertising what he believes is the cure to
every illness caused by dehydration.
His recommended cure involves drinking enough water every day equal
to half your body weight in ounces, using one-quarter teaspoon of sea
salt for each quart of water and avoiding alcohol, soda and caffeine.
Butts, 75, has received both praise and criticism for the "water
cure" he promotes in his five auto parts stores in Kingston,
Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, Moosic and Scranton and the Web site,
www.watercure2.org. He also has been featured in national news stories
and has appeared on television and radio stations promoting this "cure"
that is not making him any money, he said.
Butts believes so strongly in the water cure that he says, "If someone puts a gun to my head, I'm not going to back down."
He also frequently alleges corruption, saying neither health
officials or politicians want to hear about the "cure" because medical
treatments and prescriptions are expensive and drinking water is free.
"This is the biggest hoax in history. This whole thing is extortion,"
Butts said. "People think I'm nuts. I don't care what they think."
His latest advertising campaign features testimonials from famous
people who said they were helped by the water cure such as Anson
Williams, who played Postie Weber on "Happy Days." Williams said
drinking water and using sea salt has taken away his asthma, aches and
pains.
Butts' ads charge President Obama and other legislators waste
trillions of dollars looking for a cure that is already here. He charges
that third world countries which use salt and water to treat
dehydration are ahead of the United States.
"This is no miracle. This is simple common sense," Butts said. "I believe this is the one thing that could save our country."
Butts learned about the water cure from the book "Your Body's Many
Cries for Water" written by Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, who died at age
73 from complications from pneumonia.
Butts said he decided to promote the water cure after losing $800,000
in a legal battle with a former business partner. He went to bed angry
and woke up as a "changed person," deciding to promote something he
believed would help people and not make him any money. After reading
about others helped by drinking more water and using sea salt, he
decided to focus his efforts on that.
Butts has seen positive results from the water cure first-hand. He
drinks three quarts of water and uses sea salt every day, which has
alleviated his back pain and he no longer has allergies, he said.
"Allergies were gone in a couple days," Butts said. "There's no way
medical research doesn't know this. The number one protocol is salt and
water. It's an absolute no-brainer."
During an interview at his auto parts store in Kingston, Butts was
joined by a Pittston resident, Todd Thorne, who said the water cure
helped alleviate his pain.
Thorne, 46, was hurt at work five years ago. He was diagnosed with a
chronic pain disease called "reflex sympathetic dystrophy" or RSD, which
Butts calls a "really stupid diagnosis."
"This is stupid we can't cure anything," Butts said. "It's corporate America. It's all about money."
Thorne learned about the "water cure" at Cee-Kay Auto Parts store in
Pittston. With a large water bottle in his hand, Thorne said he has been
drinking more water and using sea salt for the last two years. Now, he
is no longer in a wheelchair. He hasn't had a seizure in two years, he
said. He said he went from taking 14 pills a day to three. When he was
taking so many pills, he said he was like a "zombie."
"I can't be a zombie. I have two kids and a wife who rely on me,"
Thorne said. "Now, my sense of well-being is totally turned around. My
level of pain was at about 20. Now, it's about 2."
Butts, a father of five daughters, lives in Elmhurst. He graduated from high school in Moosic and attended Keystone College.
Testimonials
Consider expanding information search: Google the ailment & add "cured
with water and sea salt." This will access a lot more information.
The common cause of the illnesses listed on our testimonials pages is chronic
dehydration.
That is why when people do the water cure and are no longer dehydrated, many so
called incurable problems go away. Dehydration, thanks to consuming diuretic
caffeinated, alcoholic or soda drinks devastate our immune systems and turns our
pH acid, compromising our immune systems to the degree our bodies are dehydrated
and acidic. It is impossible for any drug or procedure, other than a saline IV,
to cure any problem caused by dehydration. That's why Dr. Batmanghelidj said,
"You are not sick, you are thirsty." If the water cure were followed according
to Dr. B.'s book, "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" we could save hundreds of
thousands of Americans yearly from slow, painful, premature deaths while cutting
health costs down to a fraction of what they are today. The savings would be
more than enough to save the financial health of our nation and millions of
jobs.

The Truth About SALT
In the middle ages no salt was so dangerous, criminals were often put to death by being put in a cell and given no salt. It caused a slow agonizing death.
2000 years ago salt was used as money. Gold and salt had the same value. The word salary comes from salt.
In the old days, salt was used to preserve foods. Today, we have
refrigeration, so less salt is required except for maybe curing meats.

All warm blooded animals must have salt to live.
The human brain and spine is in a sac of salt water called CSF
(cerebrospinal fluid). This liquid circulates throughout the brain and
spinal cord.
We all spent approx 9 months in our mothers belly floating in salt water (amniotic fluid).
Our tears are salty and we sweat salt.
Our bones are hollow in the center (marrow) where blood cells are
made. The marrow is covered with many strands of calcium salts, the way
rope is woven together. Salt crystals are woven in with the calcium
and these salt crystals are what make our bones hard, not the calcium.
27% of the body’s salt content is located in the bones. When the body
requires more salt it can borrow it from the bones. When this happens,
calcium is also removed with the salt making the bones thinner, softer
and brittle.
Salt is made up of sodium and chlorine. Together they are called Sodium chloride (Na Cl).
Sodium is a soft positive charged metal where chlorine is a negative
charged gas that becomes a liquid when put under pressure.
Chlorine is a gas/liquid but somehow when the earth was formed the chlorine became a solid with the sodium and trace minerals.
You can crush the salt crystals into a powder and the chlorine stays with the sodium. Chlorine as a solid is called chloride.
The salt we use today comes from our oceans, lakes or salt mines. In
addition to sodium and chlorine, all the salt on planet earth comes
with many trace minerals mixed into it.
So we can assume that
these trace minerals are very important or they would not be combined
with the salt. Because of the commercial value of these minerals they
are removed in order to make big profits.
The human body is
able to split the chlorine from the sodium as needed. Our blood
requires chlorine as do many of our organs. The stomach uses chlorine to
make hydrochloric acid required so we can digest our food correctly.
Our body also uses the sodium chloride as salt to keep the brain,
spine, tears, bones, sweat glands, organs and blood topped up with
salt. The body benefits from the other trace minerals that help keep
the body alkaline and healthy.
Just as drinking too much plain
water can kill a person (hyponatremia). The same thing is true with
taking too much salt, it can cause swelling, diarrhea, and death.
Table salt is purified by removing the trace minerals and heating the
salt to 1200 o F. Now all you have is 40% sodium and 60% chloride then
an anti-caking agent is added so it won’t stick together.
Too
much sodium can happen from eating too many food additives containing
sodium as a binder (sort of a glue). Sodium is not salt. Salt is sodium
chloride.
Sodium bicarbonate, sodium benzoate and MSG (mono sodium glutamate) are just a few of these additives.
Sodium, potassium and chloride are electrolytes (special minerals) that
dissolve in water and carry electrical charges anywhere there is water
in the body.
These electrically charged minerals can freely
move into a cell and back out again carrying nutrients in and removing
waste products and excess water as to keep the cell balanced.
At the same time as these electrolytes move in and out of the cells
making their exchanges, a delicate balance of potassium inside the cell
must be maintained with a special amount of sodium and chloride to
hold the potassium in the center of the cell.
Electrolytes
are found in all fluids of the body and carry impulses along your
nerves. This helps your muscles, like the heart and diaphragm, contract
and relax.
Electrolytes carry glucose (blood sugar) into the cell after insulin opens the door or gate for the sugar to be taken in.
Electrolytes also turn “cation pumps” that generate electricity which
is stored in the Mg ATP and Mg GTP batteries of the body.
If a
person loses too many of these electrolytes from having diarrhea or
from taking a water pill (diuretic) they can become very sick and must
go to the hospital and receive IVs of saline (salt water), dextrose
(sugar water) and minerals.
Many of our beverages today
contain caffeine that is a diuretic, acting as a water pill, causing a
water shortage in the body. Nothing replaces plain water according to
Dr Batman.
Scientists and doctors still don’t know how salt
dissolves in water or how it can keep getting saltier and saltier.
Scientists and chemists have some theories but can’t prove any of them.
What Salt Does For You
Salt has many other functions than just regulating the water content of the body.
Here are some of its additional important functions in the body
according to Dr. Batman in his book, ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus
on pages 144-150:
Salt is a powerful natural antihistamine.
The next time you get a runny nose or watery eyes from allergies, try
drinking a glass of plain water, then put a pinch of salt on the end of
your tongue and let it dissolve.
Asthma symptoms can be
relieved by drinking one or two glasses of plain water, then putting a
pinch of salt on the end of your tongue and letting it dissolve. Try it
next time… before using your inhaler.
Salt helps relieve “stress” symptoms.
Salt is important for the removal of acidity from your brain cells.
Kidneys will not work correctly without salt.
Depression and emotional problems are greatly relieved by taking more
salt, drinking plain water, eating correctly and walking.
Bladder control problems and unintentional urine leakage could be helped by adding more salt into your diet.
Diabetics can bring down their blood sugar levels and reduce their need for insulin by taking salt.
Irregular heartbeats may be stopped by putting a pinch of salt on the end of your tongue and letting it dissolve.
Our digestive system requires salt to properly absorb the food we eat.
Asthma, emphysema and cystic fibrosis sufferers can get rid of mucus
and phlegm in the lungs by using salt and drinking plain water.
Gout symptoms can be prevented by using salt.
If you get muscle cramps (Charlie horses, etc.), salt may relieve them.
Try putting a pinch of salt on the end of your tongue and let it
dissolve.
Bones get their hardness from salt, not calcium.
Osteoporosis is mainly caused by not taking enough salt and water everyday
Salt is essential for preventing varicose and spider veins on the legs.
Are you having problems maintaining an erection, you need to eat more salt and drink more plain water.
Salt may help reduce a double chin. The salivary glands in your mouth
sense your body is low on salt and produce more saliva. Over time, this
increased production of saliva causes the saliva glands to “leak” in
the area under your chin. One possible way to get rid of a double chin.
Taking salt and drinking plain water before exercising will help you to breathe better and sweat less.
Because there is potassium in almost everything we eat, salt needs to
be added to our food. This will allow our body to maintain the proper
balance of water between the inside and outside oceans of water in our
cells.
In a study of almost 3,000 men that had high blood
pressure, the men on a low-salt diet had a 430% increase in heart
attacks when compared to the men who ate a high-salt diet.
Low-salt diets have also been shown to increase total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels and fasting insulin levels.
Questions To Think About:
It has been over thirty years since we were
first told to eat a low salt diet in order to avoid having high blood
pressure. Why then, do more Americans have high blood pressure today
than they did thirty years ago?
Why do you get High Blood Pressure on a low-salt diet?
Our blood is 94% water, our brain is 85% water and our soft tissue is 75% water.
Dr Batman says water, salt and potassium together regulate the water content of the body.
Basically, every cell in our body has an /ocean of fresh water/ inside
the cell and an /ocean of salt water/ outside the cell. Good health
depends on a most delicate balance of the water between these two
oceans.
Salt forces water to stay in the outside /ocean of
water/ of the cell (osmotic retention) and potassium holds water in the
inside /ocean of water/ of the cell.
When the body is low on
water (you are not drinking enough) it will increase the volume of
salty water in the outside ocean of the cell.
Through a
special mechanism, a hormone (vasopressin) is released that can filter
out the salt from the outside ocean and inject some fresh water into the
center ocean as needed to maintain the delicate balance.
For
this method to work, the capillaries (blood vessels) must constrict by
the use of vasopressin. This causes the capillaries to /tighten up,/
giving you high blood pressure, which is necessary in order to filter
and inject water from the outside ocean of water into the inside ocean
of water.
One cause of high blood pressure is a lack of fresh
water for the inside ocean of the cell according to Dr Batman. We call
it hypertension.
Dr Batman says if a person will walk
(exercise), drink more plain water (in the place of coffee, tea, soda)
and add just a little more salt (not sodium) to their diet, their blood
pressure will normalize again.
How Much Salt Should You Take?
Dr Batman suggests we use…
1/8
tsp* (3/4 g) *of salt* (unrefined sea salt is best) *for every 16 oz
*(half a liter) *of water we drink*… ½ tsp of salt for every half a
gallon of water and a full tsp of salt for one gallon of water.
Note:
If a person is not going to the bathroom at least three times per day,
they should check with their doctor first before drinking more water
and using more salt.
Your kidneys must be working properly.
This means…the amount of liquid you drink should be almost equal to the
amount of urine you are eliminating every day.
At the same
time, going to the bathroom too frequently (too many trips) per day
will pull very important vitamins, minerals and electrolytes out of your
body and can cause more harm than good.
Salt can be very
harmful to the human body if the proper amount of plain water is not
taken with it, to keep the proper balance of electrolytes.
You
should be very careful when adding more plain water to your diet. Add
it very slowly so that the water will not act as a diuretic causing you
to lose your electrolytes and become ill (dehydrated).
The
body must adjust to drinking plain water after drinking coffee, tea and
soda containing caffeine, because they contain caffeine or other
chemicals that cause the body to work in a different mode.
Just like you have to keep filling up the gas tank in a car or it stop’s
running, the body works the same way. You must drink water at regular
intervals throughout the day because our body does not have a “gas
tank” to draw from.
When you drink plain water the body uses
what it needs right away and what it doesn’t need goes to the kidneys
and out of the body.
If a person has some swelling (edema)
that is not from an injury or surgery and wants to get rid of it, Dr B
says water can be used as a /natural diuretic/ providing their kidneys
and heart are working ok.
When we drink enough water to pass clear urine, we also pass out a lot of the salt that was held in the body.
There Are 4 Suggested Ways To Take The Salt:
1. The first way is to just coat the front
part of your tongue with the salt, making sure that you taste the salt,
and then drink the water over the salt, washing it down.
2. You could also just put the extra salt on your food. The only problem with that is acquiring a taste for very salty food.
3. If you are very salt-sensitive then you would get some empty
capsules and put the amount of salt you require into the capsules and
take it with food.
4. Mixing salt into the water for drinking
is not a very good idea. Only young children and seniors that are
having trouble remembering things should mix 1/8 tsp of salt into 16 oz
of plain water and drink their water this way until they start
remembering things again.
Another Medical Doctor's Point Of View
Dr David Brownstein, in his book “Salt your
way to health”, said he was taught in medical school that salt causes
high blood pressure and everybody should be on a low-salt diet. While
treating his patients, he started to notice the ones who had high blood
pressure received very little benefit from a low-salt diet. Most of
them were also low on minerals.
In his search for ways to help
these patients he came across unrefined salt. By suggesting that his
patients should use unrefined salt, which has over 80 trace minerals in
it, he noticed something strange start to happen.
His
patients with high blood pressure were finding that their blood pressure
was actually coming down. To the point they could come off of their
medications.
Dr Brownstein, MD has a current medical practice
at the Center for Holistic Medicine, West Bloomfield, MI 48323
(www.drbrownstein.com). Dr Brownstein’s book, “Salt your way to health”
will show you how adding the right kind of salt to your diet can help:
adrenal disorders, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, fatigue,
headaches, immune system function and thyroid disorders.

Treating hypertension with water
Mike: For the pharmaceutical industry, the existence of disease
is a business question, because let's face it, the pharmaceutical
industry is a for-profit industry. Profits are always first, and at
least it's my belief, and it seems that you share it, that any therapy
that competes with those profits is minimized, marginalized or outright
attacked.
Dr. B: Yes, recently there was an ad on the
television. It was very interesting -- I didn't realize it at the
beginning, but I now realize that the ad was speaking to me. In other
words, it was an ad against my statements. Because I've said that the
heartburn is a sign of dehydration in the human body and you should
drink water. And this guy comes and sits at the counter and asks, “Give
me a glass of water, my heartburn is killing me.” Or something like
that. And the lady behind the counter says, “Water doesn't cure
heartburn -- this medication does.” So see, this is how the
pharmaceutical industry fights the information that I put out. But
nonetheless, people who did discover that water could cure their
heartburn are wiser than those who buy into that advertising stunt.
Mike:
It seems like there are almost two different groups of people in the
United States. There are those who are now dependent on multiple
pharmaceuticals to treat everything, every symptom that they have, and
who alter their body chemistry and their brain chemistry through drugs,
and then there are those who are educating themselves about the true
causes of health. They're drinking water, they're avoiding food
additives, they're engaging in exercise -- it seems like there's a chasm
that's widening between these two groups.
Dr. B:
Absolutely. That's why alternative medicine has picked up and you're
getting more people going to alternative medicine than conventional
medicine. You see, I've sold at least over 600,000 copies of my book
Your Body's Many Cries for Water over the past 10 years. And so I've had
over several thousand radio interviews in the past 10 years.
Information is getting out into the hands of the public, so the
pharmaceutical industry has to naturally increase its advertising to
nullify this information that I have put out. That is why they have
produced this ad -- one of many, actually.
Anyway, we were
talking about drought management programs in the body. Hypertension is
another one of these problems. When there isn't enough water in the
body, or the body becomes dehydrated, 66% of the water loss is from the
interior of the cells. 26% is from the environment around the cells, and
only 8% is lost from the vascular system. But the vascular system is an
elastic system -- it tightens up and takes up the slack so you don't
see the problem that is going on inside the cells of your body by
testing your blood that is being tested in so many conditions. If people
drank water on a regular basis and took enough salt and minerals to
expand the capillary beds, hypertension would disappear completely.
And
there are 60 million Americans who don't realize that actually
hypertension is one of the manifestations of drought management programs
of the body when the body begins to operate a reverse osmosis process,
to deliver water into the interior of those cells which are 66% water
deficient. Now the pharmaceutical industry and the medical doctors
arrogantly and ignorantly are treating hypertension with diuretics.
Mike: Let's get rid of the water!
Dr. B: They are getting rid of the water in the body, at a lot of, how shall I say, effort.
Mike:
Isn't this an example of the arrogance of modern medicine in believing
that it knows more than nature, it knows more than the body?
Dr. B:
We, as doctors, are really 007 agents of the pharmaceutical industry.
We are totally blind and ignorant and the pharmaceutical industry has
hijacked medicine. We learn a couple of years of physiology, and soon as
we go on the clinical side we are asked to forget those and begin to
learn pharmacology in order to treat symptoms rather than understand the
primary cause of the health problem.
Mike: But you were trained in classic, conventional way...
Dr. B: I had to educate myself.
