While I Am Here I Expect To Tell The Straight, Unvarnished Truth - A Quotation by Andrew T. Still

I expect when I am gone that I will come back every week or so to see what Osteopathy is doing. I want to see if it is run off of I the face of the earth. In the earlier ages the people didn't know anything of medicine, and they lived a long time. The less they knew of it, the more good food they ate and the longer they lived.  Our work here is to overcome the effects of medicine. Nine-tenths of the clients that come here, while they are wrenched and strained in many places in the body, have to be treated first by turning on the nerves of excretory organs of the system, for the purpose of cleaning up the dirty house in which we find the human soul dwelling. What do we find? We find the liver not acting properly, we find some lung affected and stones in the gallbladder. We go a little further down to the renal nerves, veins, and arteries, to those of the kidneys. They are out of order. We go down to the water-bladder and find specimens. Specimens of what? Of the thoughtless stupidity of man, who by taking medicine, has converted the liver into a bank of cinnabar (Google: a bright red to reddish-brown mineral composed of mercury sulfide).Any person in the audience has the privilege of raising your hand and saying I am wrong, if I state anything that is not correct. I am fighting for God and I am going to hit them square in the face. While I am here I expect to tell the straight, unvarnished truth.

Selfishness Results In Tragedies - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Selfishness - it prevents families from avoiding their tragedies Many problems, even tragedies, in families could be avoided if a little less selfishness were the rule. For example, here is a man totally absorbed by his professional life, who spends his time travelling away from home or in meetings. When he does come home, tired, preoccupied, and often in a bad mood, he falls into an armchair and buries himself in the newspaper, making it quite clear to his wife that he does not want to be bothered with all the problems of the house, the children, and so on. There may be all sorts of signs that his wife is getting fed up with this situation, but he is oblivious. His wife and children are there and the house is in order, so everything is fine. Then, one evening, he comes home and is astonished to find that she has taken the children and left. He cannot understand why. It is a terrible shock from which he cannot recover; he is devastated and goes to consult a psychoanalyst. The situation had been brewing for many years under his very eyes, but he did not notice, because he was so self-centered. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.
