below is more material by Morris Krok. There is some repetition with the other recent posts of material by Morris Krok, but there is also some new material here as well. Again, I did not write the material below - it was written by Morris Krok. I am releasing it on the Internet, with permission of Morris, as a public service. I hope you find it interesting! P.S. the material is being posted as-is, or as-received (unedited). Tom Billings ========begin logic.one by Morris Krok======================= Life's Most Important Teachings Affecting Man Directly Introducing Icons of Intelligence Nuggets of Gold The use of simple logic to unravel problems that been undecipherable for thousands of years; for behind every true science or invention there is a simple principle or set of simple principles. The highest embodiment of intelligence is the heightened awareness of how we physically and mentally function in relationship to nature's simple code and forces. Though you compose and type in electronic media, there is nothing as beautiful, clear and to the point as the printed word. It is for this reason as they say in the legal word - 'put it in writing'. Even if the meaning behind the words are ambiguous, controversial or incomprehensible, at least the letters themselves remain elegant; and there is always a hope that they can be wordsmithed and rendered into something that is indisputably precise, lucid and elevating. You must know what is in the market place to add to it. Simplicity is the keynote to success. It is the graceful mood that is the creator of style. Style means relaxed movement that is free of awarkness, jerkiness and unnecessary motion. In consciousness is where your power lies. Cleanse the entire membraneous tract from anus to the sinuses so that the purified mind can be forever inspired. Miracles are wrought on an empty stomach. Only the approach and attitude separates tranquillity from fire and unrest. When we understand that little something about the body and its needs, there is not much we need to know to keep healthy and prolong Youthfulness. Although it is an enthralling tale that encompasses everything that has happened in man's sojourn on earth, the story ends on an anti-climax of simplicity and doing nothing intelligently. As no physician, professor, president or person will accept its simple solution, it collects dust and cobwebs in the archives as man seeks futilely for something that does not exist. All the time, money and sacrifice spent in animal and human experimentation has been in vain because the simple truth is staring him in the face but he is too blind to see it. Ironically you need a simple soul to comprehend something so simple. Good habits last a lifetime bad habits are shortlived. He who loves his stomach does not love his life. Don't be afraid to miss meals, you wont diet but only live longer. More evil and intrigue is enacted in the kitchen than anywhere else. To collect the proceeds of an insurance policy you only have to feed the brute well. A Chinese sage who was suspicious about the food served to him told his chef that he would still be the death of him. Outwardly you will be silent, but within your master will speak in the voice of a roaring rapid and resounding waterfall. Knowledge is light; but knowledge from light is most revealing of all. Let us never forget that we are sons of the morning, children of the light. As life will not conform or be changed by our beliefs, it has the last say and in fact makes a mockery of them. You do not have to be clever to be a genius but you must know what others have achieved so that you can add that essential dash or dot. When you open the mind to the wonders of life, you will magnetically attract the so-called hidden things and begin to understand what man needs most to know. The more you use the mind and the body in an infinite way the more numerous will grooves of understanding be imprinted in the brain. As consciousness pervades the entire body and not merely the brain, we must use every limb and muscle in the quest for realization. When you realize that for man to reach his full potential, he cannot do so if his mind is filled with superstition and misconceptions. By believing or practising things that have no relationship with the realities of life, his attitudes and approach to the standards that nature has set for man will be out of alignment. By accepting blindly without questioning what religion or pseudo-science such as the theories and doctrines replete in the medical world, he will never be able to utilize the full powers of his mind and body. Irrespective what we are taught or what is written in books, in the end we must learn direct from nature and its simple, intelligent and powerful logic. To make a start in this direction, we must forget what we have been taught and make our mind into a blank screen as the beginning of wisdom and the gateway to understanding is the process of unlearning. To achieve this we must first define thinking. Those who are ardent seekers of truth will realize from the outset that the awareness of even the most simplest truth cannot be consciously thought out. After gathering all the relevant information including everything that we have learnt through the five senses from birth, we must patiently wait for the subconscious to weave its unique brand of magic. Truth we must realize comes in small segments to him who attunes himself to the search for universal wisdom. In other words thinking is waiting for the right thought to flash on our consciousness. Thinking can also be defined as the subconscious processing of all our experiences by the procedure of association and deletion. In a sense we cannot define thought, consciousnes and awareness or why it operates in its own myterious way. It is akin to the mysteries of life and its origin. Therefore, Dr Edward de Bono is way off the mark when he thinks that there is such a thing as lateral thinking. The mind and body is programmed to operate in a certain way and not all our thinking, concentration and meditation will ever change it. The Zen Buddhist in a Koan explains it in this way, "No matter how much you rub the clay brick, it will never shine." Life is a moving pageant. It cannot be frozen in a time capsule. Therefore, it is against life's laws to accept that whatever is spoken or written, no matter how sacred it is suppose to be, as the final truth. The founders of religions based their teachings on the environment and conditions of their times; but as our understanding is broadened over the centuries some of these religious teachings become obsolete. After all religion is simply an attempt to regulate the lives of people in a certain direction often with an ominous undertone of fear. Religious adherents follow a ritual or observance generally because of fear - if they do not pray in a certain way on a certain day "they think that something terribly will happen to them or that they have committed a crime or serious offence." By believing in this man is doing himself a great disservice and injustice by limiting or denying the full role of the intelligence within him. In any event religion is man made, and if what they teach were true, we at birth would be born with religous concepts imprinted on our minds. This unfortunately is not true as our mind at birth is an empty container and in a sense it remains so because we can continue filling it with whatever we want for the rest of our days. And throughout life we must seek for that understanding that wil free us from misconceptions that is replete in every custom, tradition and belief. Accordingly we can say that there is no greater obstacle to the advancement of man than a untruth or half-truth that is given authoritative approval. Consequently throughout history not only is there more nonsense spoken in the name of religion and God, but it has done more harm and mischief. It has divided man and nations because each group thinks that his set of superstitions, or brainwashing, is more holy and righteous than that of the other. In writing this I am not pointing a barb at any specific religion or philosophy but at all, even though they all have something useful to offer. Now let us go to the question of health, food and medicine. Nothing is more confusing and controversial than this question and when one delves only partially into its complexity, the jungle that it is, nobody seems to know what they are talking about, especially the so-called experts. When it comes to food we are told to have three square meals which must contain the necessary proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins. We must have these conglomerates thrice daily irrespective whether we are hungry or not. There is also an underlying law that it is not food unless it has been cooked and kept warm. What is protein and how much we need is now questionable. Every nutritionist and expert has his own views. We are told unless we obtain protein from animal sources such as meat, fish, and dairy produce we will not remain healthy but alternatively we are told that everything that is eaten raw including fruits and green vegetables contain adequate protein. When it is realized that no wild animal, bird, fish or creature including the lowest forms of insects and micro-organism live on cooked substances, then how can the entire world who lives on mostly cooked substances be right. This is just simple logic without any frills. One step further. When this food, chemically transformed and adulterated by heat, especially when eaten in too higher proportions results in various symptoms, then man not seeing the connection between his eating habits and illness seeks for a miracle, if not from medicine then from a supplication to his God. There is no logic in this approach as it ignores the law of cause and effect and the principles of non-suppression. Firstly we must know that our symptoms caused by the same source of wrong substances and other toxic elements imbibed, will not only change their nature, but in time will affect every tissue, membrane and organ of the body. Hence it is futile to think that by labelling these symptoms medical science will be able to produce a cure. Florence Nightingale over a hundred years ago stated correctly that medical doctors are wrong in thinking that there are specific diseases even though there are specific symptoms. It is for this reason that the medical world has not found a cure for the common cold, never mind the conditions that are chronic and which they give labels to such as cancer, tuberculosis, heart trouble and alzheimers, senility and the hardening of the arteries. All these chronic conditions tell us one thing and thing only. Nature will not be fooled and she will reward us eventually to the last farthing by the wrongs we do. Nature compensates and rewards us mirrowlike. It leaves no stone unturned. Logic should tell us that if there is no such thing as a specific disease then there can never be such a thing as a specific cure. By prescribing medicine and many surgical procedures, the medical world is merely embarking on the suppression of symptoms in the same way that a quick way to clean the room is to sweep the dust under the carpet. Unless the cause is taken into account and the individual makes the necessary changes nothing positive will be attained. Now let us bring simple logic back into play. The word medicine implies that no matter how badly you have lived or are living, this special substance will eradicate the symptom and completely normalize all your functions. Immunization and vaccination means on the other hand that no badly how you live in the future, these shots will prevent some specific symptom such as a fever. But can anyone be certain that even without the vaccine that those conditions will arise. It has been stated by doctors that they cannot guarantee that immunization will prevent the illness. Things are made more complex by blaming germs, bacteria, viruses or giving new names to chronic conditions such as the one they now call aids. The picture is really black and tainted despite the advances made in medical technology in fields of surgery, accidents, artificial limbs and diagnostic scanning. The best they have achieved is still found in first aid practices - the use of the tourniquet, treatment of broken bones with splints, mouth to mouth resuscitation, heart massage, stomach pump, cold water therapy and colonic irrigation - all which are drugless. It is ironic and paradoxical that the great truths regarding health are taught in primary school. The first lesson on physiology explained the importance of elimination and assimilation. The importance of the excretory organs such as the lungs, skin, bowels and bladder performing correctly were emphasized. However, the medical world has forgotten the importance of enabling the body to balance these operations with the least amount of interference; and interfered they must be by continuing to eat wrongly or by using poisonous substances in the form of drugs, medicines and herbs. All that this is doing is giving more work to the body than it is capable of. Another thing the body was never constructed or has the ability to handle chemicals, synthetics, poisons and toxins in our food or in the form of medicine. The body may be wonderfully made as the Bible tells us but it cannot do the impossible and perform functions it was never programmed to do. Once again let us see what light logic can bear on the problem of food, medicine, immunization, supplements and health foods. Throughout history there are persons who lived long healthy lives without the use of any of these substances. They lived also through epidemics and plagues. If their lives are analysed it will be found that they were small eaters who had a liking for more natural foods, and were generally very active. Lugi Cornaro who lived during the fifteenth century or thereabout lived to over 100 years by reducing his intake of food to 14 ounces a day. There is also the case of an Englishman, Charles Arnold, who lived to be 119 years of age by frugal eating and doing twice daily certain exercises as taught to him by a yogi. Both these gentlemen included nothing exotic into their lifestyles which in a way implies that man is being conned not only by medical doctors but also by so called alternative practitioners. It also appears that we do not need medicine or what is dished out by complementary healers. A pharmacy filled with medicine and a healthshop stocked with hundreds of supplements with new remedies appearing daily only adds to the confusion and fallacies that all health seekers have to face. They give the false message that there are countless illnesses each of which need a specific remedy or supplement. These remedies and supplements as a rule do not offer any advice on how one should live as if good health can be bought in a packet or bottle without the need to take our living habits into account. Nature, if we listen to her silent voice will tell you to eat simple untampered foods when hungry, to have adequate fresh air and sunshine and keep moving so that blood, lymph and nerve circulation at no times stagnates. It is amazing but nevertheless true that the yogis of India almost five thousand years ago understood what food substances are responsible for the accumulation of slime, unwanted residues and toxins in the body. By so doing they understood that the body is a processing mechanism that has to process everything we eat, and drink. They also understood that it has to process our thoughts and every physical movement we make. In other words man is the product of what he imbibes and the movements he makes. Taking their entire health programme into account they learnt through careful observation that to overcome the effects of wrong eating and living, they must first eradicate these items from the lifestyle. These wrong substances through passing through the digestive tract leave byproducts throughout the membraneous tract including the lungs, throat, sinuses, tongue, bladder, kidneys, small intestines and colon. They collect especially at the exit points such as the bladder, anus, nose, mouth and throat. Hence conditions of impaired and burning urination, constipation, stuffy nose and sinuses, and congested bronchials and lungs occur. To overcome these obstructions they devised a system known as the six shatkarmas or six acts of purifying all these orifices. They have methods, details are not given here, of cleansing the nose, the stomach, the bladder, the colon and lungs. After several months these cleansing methods in conjunction with the right food eventually leaves the body internally clean and free of all symptoms. In addition to these six cleansing acts, they devised an elaborate exericse programme that stretched all the major joints and muscles of the body including the neck, the spine and those of the arms and legs. They learnt many of these asanas or stretches from watching animals, birds and reptiles performing certain movements. The key of their system is to move or stretch the body in a way that we normally do not do. They also learnt to counteract the effects of gravity by reversing the position of the body by using the headstand or shoulderstand. Their exercises used no instruments or gadgets and based on the principle of using the least amount of effort to obtain the maximum benefit. Yoga correctly implemented and understood with its sytem of internal cleansing, asanas, breathing methods and periods of silent meditation is the greatest gift that the ancient world has bestowed on modern man, especially when it refers to a system of living that directly affects us. For our physical and mental well-being there is nothing superior and it still surpasses what we believe and practise today. Yoga's secret key is to be internally clean to the finest nerves or nadis. In the book Yoga Gave Me Superior Health, Theos Bernard explains how he was only able to stand on his head for three hours when he daily thoroughly cleansed his entire membraneous tract. He was also able to hold his breath for ten minutes. Yoga therefore, went far beyond the prevention of illhealth as they showed a simple way to prolong youthfulness without gadgets and special substances. From Hathayoga Pradipika, study well this aphorism: "Slim and lissom body, joyous face, sonorous voice, sparkling eyes, positive good health, virility, exhuberance of vitality and radiance, and purity of the nervous system are the characteristics of Hathayoga." From Hatha Yoga by Theos Bernard page 68, published by Rider & Company. "As soon as I placed my tongue behind the palate, the saliva began to flow in a constant stream. In this way I was supposed to determine the condition of the body fluids. At first it was thick, heavy and slimy; eventually, it became thin, clear and smooth. As a conclusion let us talk about food as this is the real cause of our health and mental problems. If we knew what to eat and when it should be eaten 99% of all mankinds ills will be eradicated. The drugging of persons to suppress physical as well as mental phobias will cease almost overnight. During the transition from the wrong way to the right way of living, man will have to endure symptoms of withdrawal as the body has now the opportunity and energy to eliminate all the toxins and unwanted residues that it cannot use and which has been stored in various tissues some possibly since infancy. The following substances are toxic or residue forming: alcohol, coffee, tea, salt, all flour products especially the refined variety, food additives and pesticides, meat, fish and dairy products. The overcooking of vegetables, and the overconsumption of cooked beans and peas. The less cooked foods we eat, and the less acid and concentrated items we consume, not to overlook the importance of omitting refined food from the dietary, the healthier we will become because our inner membranes and tissues will be freed of all toxic, putrifying and fermenting substances that constantly feed our illnesses, depressions and phobias. There is nothing magical or mystifying in all this except that it conforms to the basic needs and functioning capability of the body - in a nutshell enabling the body to balance assimilation against elimination. Working prudently within the physiology of the human organism. This will only be possible when it is understood that the key to good health is for mankind to cease making fundamental errors in the selection of food he eats. In the warmth of the digestive tract all starchy food cooked or raw and dairy products (milk, cream and cheese) as well as the fats from meat are dissolved into acidy slime that eventually infiltrate every part of the membraneous tract from the anus and bladder to the sinuses and scalp on the head. This slime is as tenacious and as engulfing as an oil slick. It is more deadly and harmful than all the germs, bacteria and viruses put together. These mirco-organism can only live and propagate when adequate slime is present in the body. An internally cleansed person cannot catch even the slightest sniffle from the sickest person. The sign of a clean person is a clear mind and youthfulness even in old age. This proves that he who knows and applies the simple truth will be rewarded in every possible way. He, in other words, becomes a living example who can demonstrate what he knows. Now let us put you in the picture why the above is not universally known or accepted. The above is not known because man has been brainwashed through the ages by misconceptions. By not understanding that the body is a processing unit that processes what we eat, drink, our movements, and everything we learn from birth onwards through the five senses, we miss the point. We therefore, are not only what we eat but we are also the product of our environment; and unless we make an effort not to accept everything what we are taught, told or what is generally believed as the final truth and prepared to question as well as to test where possible, we will never be able to move out of the universal ignorance and fallacy that has ensnared man. To "get it" we must free our mind from unnecessary fears and our lives from irrelevant practices. Undoubtedly the first thing that we have to eradicate are those related to health. We must not fear germs, bacteria etc., and if it was not that man has created nuclear energy and the possibilty the leak of radiant energy it never be necessary to fear the unseen including ghosts, ghouls, witches and goblins. Germs and other micro-organisms are not heat seeking missiles especially put on this planet to destroy mankind. Consequently we do not have to be immunised or vaccinated (I have already explained the underlying fallacies of these practices) or think that by contagion that we can contact deadly illnesses. By this I mean that any person who lives the way nature's standard has no fear in this regard because this is the only way that we can truly be immunised against illhealth. Living correctly keeps the inner membranes and tissues free of all substances that ferment and putrefy and which are responsible of continually feeding our symptoms and aches even if we are not consciously aware that it is happening. Good health then is an individual do-it-yourself activity, so if anyone persistently abuses himself he must not dupe himself in thinking that there is a magical substance that will immediately make things right. When it comes to maintaining good health one only has to obey a few rules: eat natural mostly raw foods when hungry, but should you experience the slightest health problem, cold, cough, headache, pain, stiffness, itchiness and constipation replace meals with water or diluted fruit juice until such time that the symptoms disappears. By doing actually nothing intelligently you are giving the body the necessary time to catch up with assimilation and especially elimination. Considering the dietetic civilized errors man makes, the body has been storing toxic and harmful substances since infancy, therefore, it is only by stopping the intake that body is giving the opportunity to eliminate what it does not want and cannot use no matter the origin of these substances. There is no greater unwelcome guest in our life than the by products of wrong foods and drink that remain too long in the body. To be healthy everything imbibed must with ease pass through the main exits of the body - the anus and urethra. In other words, for us to function at our higest potential we must cleanse ourselves from the filth of civilized eating. When considering this thought it is good to contemplate Bhai Vir Singh's (Sikh Poet) short poem. "I made my mind a beggar's bowl, I begged the bread of learning from door to door, Filled it with crumbs from the Houses of Learning, Crammed it full. It was heavy. I was proud - a man of learning. I strove to walk in the clouds, But stumbled on the earth. Then I sought the guru, Placed my bowl before him - an offering. "Dirt", he cried, "Dirt," Turned it upside down, Threw the crumbs away, Scrubbed it with sand, Rinsed it with water, Cleansed it of the filth of learning ('eating'). To drive the true health and life message home, think a little how man can interpret this poem in relation to the food he eats. He crams all the wrong food down his gullet which ends as filth in the body. ***End part 1/2
