Quiet Strength: A Reflection on My Uncle, and What Retreat Can Mean

I went to my uncle’s funeral.

I wrote this on January 31st at 3:33pm — a day after he passed away (a night, really). And I keep coming back to one simple truth:

What I loved about my uncle was his quiet strength.

He never needed the front seat or the hot seat. He didn’t reach for attention. He chose what mattered: being a family man, an incredible professor, and a steady presence.

The way he loved my aunt was something to witness — traditional, devoted, protective in the best way. He believed in coupling with intention… in taking the time to build real security inside a family.

They went for walks together almost every day — especially in retirement — and their love was a felt experience. Solid. Consistent. Real.

His children are some of the most gifted people I know, and he created the kind of home where they could become fully themselves. I’m in awe of my family — they were a mirror of what’s possible. My parents looked to them when they came to this country. And my mom is truly blessed to have a sister so brilliant and gifted.

He never missed wishing me a happy birthday. His love was the definition of appropriate — steady, clear, and present. This week has been a beautiful time to reflect on what his love felt like.

It felt secure.

He survived cancer for over nine years, and I believe love was a major part of how he did it.

I dedicate this week to his spirit and the energy he shared — the definition of love in action.

Thank you for being who you are.

May you rest in peace.

When someone asks, “When is your next retreat?”

After the funeral, I met his daughter. She said, “I want to come visit — when is the next retreat?”

And I paused.

Because I don’t host retreats in the traditional sense.

But I also understand what she meant.

Sometimes “retreat” isn’t a scheduled event. It’s a moment in life when your system knows it’s time to step away from the noise — and come back to yourself.

And in that way… the place is a retreat.

It’s a choose-your-own-adventure kind of healing.

You can come for classes. You can do deeper somatic work. You can walk around Town Lake and let your thoughts settle into your body. You can jump in Barton Springs and let the water reset your nervous system. You can come visit me in Salado.

There’s no rigid itinerary you have to follow to be “doing it right.”

There’s just an invitation: to slow down enough to feel what’s true.

The kind of help I offer

I’m self-led — and I help people do the deeper work that allows the body to do a deeper resetting.

Not by forcing transformation.

But by creating the conditions where transformation becomes possible:

• Safety in the body

• Space to grieve, breathe, and feel

• Simple rituals that bring you back to center

• Practices that help the nervous system unwind

Because so much of healing is not about “fixing.”

It’s about remembering.

Remembering what steadiness feels like.

Remembering what secure love feels like.

Remembering that the body knows how to come home — when we stop rushing it.

Love in action

My uncle’s life was a lesson in love as a practice.

Not love as performance.

Love as consistency.

Love as devotion.

Love as protection.

Love as presence.

And maybe that’s what I’m honoring right now — in my own way.

By creating spaces where people can step out of survival mode.

By offering a place that feels like a retreat, even without the label.

By living the question: what would it look like to build a life that feels secure?

May his quiet strength continue to ripple through our family.

And may we each find the kind of love that helps us live — fully, steadily, and true.

The Secure Man: Cultivating Safety in a World That Needs It

Safety isn’t a title you claim—it’s a presence you embody. It’s not something you force, but something you cultivate through deep inner work, self-awareness, and the choices you make every day.

I have spent years creating spaces where people can feel seen, heard, and held—where innocence and connection can thrive without fear or pretense. But that work didn’t start with the external. It started with me.

For much of my life, I searched for security outside of myself. Like many, I was taught that safety came from strength, wealth, or control. But true safety isn’t found in things that can be taken away. It isn’t found in dominance or force.

True safety is an internal state.

It is cultivated through self-awareness, accountability, and a deep understanding of one’s own desires, shadows, and energy. It is the ability to stand firm in your center, even when the storm rages.

Creating Spaces for Innocent Connection

The foundation of my work—whether through cacao, ceremony, or community—has always been about creating a container where people can experience deep, meaningful connection without fear or pretense.

I’ve seen firsthand how rare it is for people to feel truly safe. Safe to express. Safe to be vulnerable. Safe to connect without expectation. And that’s why I do what I do.

When someone steps into a space I hold, I want them to feel a sense of relief—to know they are not being judged, objectified, or manipulated. That their presence is enough.

Because I know what it’s like to not feel safe.

I know what it’s like to seek comfort in ways that ultimately make you feel less secure. I know what it’s like to let old patterns dictate behavior, to act from impulse rather than integrity. And I know what it takes to change that.

I’ve done the work to understand my own mind, my own impulses, and my own energy so that I don’t unconsciously impose them on others. I’ve learned to hold space for my inner self, to sit with discomfort, and to choose awareness over reaction.

That’s why I can create spaces where innocence is preserved, where connection is sacred, and where people can just be—without fear, without expectation, without needing to protect themselves.

The Secure Man

A truly secure man is not ruled by his desires. He is aware of them, he acknowledges them, but he does not let them dictate his actions. He is present, not just in body, but in heart and intention.

A secure man:

• Listens deeply without waiting to speak.

• Moves with integrity, regardless of who is watching.

• Owns his mistakes and learns from them.

• Holds space without expectation.

• Chooses presence over distraction and truth over comfort.

This is what I strive to embody—not just for myself, but for those around me.

Because safety isn’t just about intention. It’s about embodiment.

And in a world that needs safe men, I choose to be one.

The See-Cure Man: Embodying Safety, Wholeness, and Presence

To be truly secure is to be see-cure—to see the cure, to embody coherence, and to walk as a living expression of wholeness. It is not just about strength or control, but about deep attunement to one’s inner world.

To be inside yourself is to know your feelings, sensations, and emotions intimately. To not just think about them, but to feel them—to move with them in a way that is attuned to presence itself. When a man is truly inside himself, he is no longer reacting to the world; he is moving with it, responding from a place of clarity, coherence, and deep knowing.

This is the essence of safety.

It is not something you impose. It is something you cultivate through presence—through a connection so deep that others feel it simply by being near you. Safety is not words or promises; it is an embodied state of coherence.

The Cure is Presence

A man who has done the work to attune himself to his own depths—to his breath, his sensations, his unresolved wounds—becomes a space of healing for others. Not because he tries to heal, but because he has become whole within himself.

When a man is whole, he does not seek to complete himself through others. He does not grasp, chase, or impose. He is full within his own being. And from this fullness, he can hold space without needing to take. He can be present without distraction. He can connect without control.

To see the cure is to see that the answer has always been inside—to know that safety is not something we build outside of us, but something we cultivate within.

The Secure Man is a Coherent Man

A truly coherent man is a safe man, because he is not fragmented. He is whole. His mind, body, and energy move in harmony. He is attuned to the moment, deeply aware of his impact, and free from the unconscious forces that make others unsafe.

This is why I create spaces for connection. Not just physical spaces, but energetic ones—containers where innocence, presence, and truth can thrive. Spaces where people feel safe enough to be themselves.

Not because of rules or structures, but because of energy.

Because safety is felt. It is known. It is not just the absence of harm—it is the presence of wholeness.

And so, I choose to be whole. I choose to be see-cure. I choose to move in coherence.

Not just for myself, but for those around me.

Because when we embody safety within, we become an invitation for others to do the same.

With the eyes of a child what do you see? The archatype of humans is powerless to nature — and this program is like the dilusion and separation of science and religion and the very strongest division in our unconscious reality. And the dark side of it is…

Wait for it → Sensationilsm — Whenever anybody is saying really, really nice things about you, or really, really horrible things, it’s just sensationalism.”

Sensationalism is a type of editorial bias in mass media in which events and topics in news stories and pieces are overhyped to present biased impressions on events, which may cause a manipulation to the truth of a story. Sensationalism may include reporting about generally insignificant matters and events that do not influence overall society and biased presentations of newsworthy topics in a trivial or tabloid manner contrary to the standards of professional journalism.

How the Pineal Gland Controls One’s Mood

Sadhguru: As scientists explore the nature of the human mind, and as we find better instruments to look at the nature of the human brain, one thing is becoming very clear for modern psychologists and neuroscientists: there is much more to be known about the human mind than they know right now. 

Pineal gland was always recognized as being associated with the agna chakra.

As there is medical physiology, there is a whole yogic physiology. One aspect of yogic physiology that aligns in some way with modern neurosciences has to do with the pineal gland. This gland was always recognized as being associated with the agna chakra. Today, neuroscientists say that the secretions of the pineal gland control and moderate one’s moods and experiences. If you have a very stable and sufficient pineal secretion, having a pleasant mood within yourself is not a problem.

Both medical sciences and street-side drugs have made it clear that chemicals can create pleasant and unpleasant experiences within you that are very real for you. Others may dismiss it as you causing it to yourself, but actually, you are causing everything to yourself. The only difference is whether you cause it with or without outside help. If you simply become ecstatic right now, you are causing it to yourself without outside help. If you cause the same thing with outside stimulation, it may be the same thing experience-wise, but the end result could damage the system. And such an experience will not result in any kind of consciousness. Unconscious experiences, however big they are, are of no significance for one’s evolution, growth, and transformation.

Many Cultures Were Aware of the Bindu

A little-known aspect of yogic physiology, which is totally absent in modern medical sciences, is something which I constantly keep “on” within myself, called the bindu. “Bindu” means a tiny point. It is a particular spot on the pineal gland surrounded by a certain secretion. If you touch the bindu, it will release secretions that make your body comfortable and make you feel ecstatic. To activate the bindu, there is a certain point at the back of your head. So many cultures around the world have recognized this, and there is an understanding that that point needs to be protected and activated.

In the Hindu way of life, when young Brahmin boys are initiated into spiritual sadhana, they shave off the hair on the rest of the head and leave a tuft at this point. In many other parts of the world, if people are doing a certain type of activity which they believe is spiritual, they want that spot to be covered, so they started using small caps or some kind of a cloth. Everywhere in the world, at some point some people would have been aware and probably spoke about it. I really do not know what they have said, but I have noticed people doing these things. If there is someone who comes from the Jewish culture for example, have they told you something specific about why you should wear this cap? 

Meditator 1: When you do a spiritual practice, you go to the synagogue, and you wear the cap to show that you are just a human being and you are not the divine. So, it is a sign of respect and a separation between you and the God that you are worshiping.

Sadhguru: Somebody else have something to say? 

Meditator 2: It’s more of a connection, to remind you that there is a divinity. You’re always wearing it so you don’t forget. It’s not necessarily a separation, it’s more a reminder of the divinity within you or around you.

Sadhguru: I do not know when the neurosurgeons will come upon the bindu. Even if they come upon it, because it is so small, they may ignore it. But if you pay attention to your system, it is there all the time. But do not start imagining these things! 

Ambrosia and Poison

You will see, many times when people are in certain meditative processes, they become overwhelmed because the “glass of ambrosia” inside is tipping a little bit. They have still not learned how to drink from it in sips. If you give a glass full of water to a small child, he will spill it all over the place when he drinks. Similarly, their glass is tipping because they do not know yet how to sip gently. If they do the necessary sadhana, slowly after some time, they could consciously drink from it. Once you can consciously drink from it, every cell in the body and every moment of your life is ecstatic. 

But the bindu has two sides to it. These two interpretations that you gave are interesting. Both could be right – distorted, but they could be coming from a certain understanding. The bindu has another point to it which also has a secretion but is poisonous. If you tip the wrong side of the glass, then poison will spread through the system. It is not like poison that you drink. It will spread through the system in such a way that, for what looks like simply no reason, you are miserable. A lot of people have done that to themselves. You could call that depression. You are miserable because you tipped the wrong side of the glass by doing improper things with life. 

There are many cultures around the world which have been aware. Some wear caps, some have tops, some have taken other kinds of care. You will notice the level of mental imbalance in those cultures is always lower.

First Stability, Then Ecstasy

No matter what you are pursuing in life – money, wealth, power, God, or enlightenment – what is it that you are seeking? Essentially, what you are seeking is an ultimate sense of sweetness within you. Either you hit it accidentally or consciously – that is the choice you have.

There are many simple processes and methods that are devised not to go towards that ambrosia which is in every human brain, but to bring the necessary foundation within you that, when you hit it through grace, you do not go crazy. Too much sweetness can drive you crazy, unless you are sitting on a stable foundation. 

In yoga, the initial phases of sadhana that you do are aimed at stability, not ecstasy. Stability is more important than ecstasy. If ecstasy comes before stability, you are heading for a crash. If ecstasy comes after stability, it is fantastic. The yogic system has devised the practices in such a way that everything is aimed at stability to start with. 

The Processes of Ecstasy Were Never Written

The processes of ecstasy were never written down or transmitted as a teaching. It is only in the presence of a certain being that those things happen – because they are very subjective, and it is best they are not written down. In some books on tantra, they have tried to write it down, which I feel is very irresponsible. Suppose you read a book where the first two chapters talk about some simple practices to stabilize yourself and the last five chapters talk about simple practices to take you to ecstatic levels – which one will you do? You will be asking for trouble. These are usually ignorant people who have done some guesswork around the real thing and tried to write down something about it. People will not go for stability, they will go for ecstasy – and they will break up. You cannot hold your system if it is too ecstatic unless you have already worked for your stability.

Just do the practice every day. It will produce results.

Never aspire for anything that is not yet in your perception because you will aspire for the wrong things. Just do your sadhana. That is why traditions have always been insisting on trust – simply because if we explain something beforehand, naturally you imagine the wrong things and go for it. Do not worry about that. Just do the practice every day. It will produce results. If you did not know how a plant grows, if I show you a lump of filth and the beautiful flower and say, “These two things are the same. This comes out of that,” would you believe me? There would be no way to convince you. It takes a crazy sense of trust. That is why we usually do not talk about all those things. Because this cannot be logically worked out. This needs a little fixing of life.

A man walked into the court. He was the defendant. The judge looked at him and asked, “Do you have a lawyer?” The man said, “No, but I have some good friends in the jury.” 

This is how it is. You cannot logically work this out. That is why the Guru came into the picture, because a little fixing is needed. Without the fixing, you will not jump. You will stand on this side forever. Without a little fixing, nudging or shoving, you will not cross the line.

Editor’s Note: The word “tantra” creates many misconceptions in the modern mindset: of immorality, sex and clandestine activity. In the video “Tantra – Being an Instrument of Life,” Sadhguru redefines tantra, restoring it to its original scope and dimension as an ancient technology for ultimate transformation.

Embrace the future - Accept the Past, Embrace the Future, and Live in the Present

Embrace Your Inner Telegraph - Be Telegraphic

Listen to only to that which is significant - Drown out the rest

Read only that which is meaningful - disregard the rest

Speak only that which is to the point - cut the bullshit and use your words wisely

Make your each word your heart - and engage your heart brain

Don't just go on saying things - Just shut up when your done flowing truths

As if you are a microphone and you need to speak only that of which is needed to be heard!

When your fears about your future play in your mind - what do you do?  Do they prevent you from fully enjoying the present.  Make a list of specific fears you have about the future. In doing this you "externalize" your fears, emptying them from your mind.  Now that your mind is free, throw your list away---- It has no place in your life anymore and it is done interrupting today!

If you are happy at the expense of another man’s happiness, you are forever bound.

From the very beginning we start poisoning every human with the poison of competitiveness. By the time one comes out of the school one will be completely poisoned. We have hypnotized everyone with the idea that one has to fight with others, that life is a survival of the fittest. Then life can never be a celebration then life can never have any kind of religiousness in it. Then it cannot have any quality of sacredness. Then it is all mean, ugly.

Buddha has his way of saying things and I have mine - here is how I say it: If you are happy at the expense of another person happiness, you are forever bound

Naturally. If you are happy at the expense of another human's happiness—and that is how you can be happy, there is no other way. If you find a beautiful partner and somehow manage to possess them, you have snatched them away from others’ hands. We make things look as beautiful as possible, but that is only the appearance. Now the others who have lost in the game, they are angry, they are in a rage. They will wait for their opportunity to take revenge, and sooner or later the opportunity will be there.

Whatsoever you possess in this world you possess at somebody else’s expense, at the cost of somebody else’s pleasure. There is no other way. If you really want not to be inimical to anybody in the world, you have to drop the whole idea of possessiveness. Use whatsoever happens to be with you in the moment, but don’t be possessive. Don’t try to claim that it is yours. Nothing is yours, all belongs to existence.

We come with empty hands and we will go with empty hands, so what is the point of claiming so much in the meantime?

But this is what we know, what the world teaches us: possess, dominate, have more than the others have. And it may be money or it may be virtue; it does not matter in what kind of coins you deal—they may be worldly, they may be otherworldly, but be very clever, otherwise you will be exploited. Exploit and don’t be exploited—that is the subtle messages given to you with your mother’s milk. And every school, college, university, is rooted in the idea of competition.

A real education will not teach you to compete, it will teach you to cooperate. It will not teach you to fight and come first. It will teach you to be creative, to be loving, to be blissful, without any comparison with the other. It will not teach you that you can be happy only when you are the first. That is sheer nonsense. You can’t be happy just by being first. And in trying to be first you go through such misery that you become habituated to misery by the time you become the first.

A real education will not teach you to be the first. It will tell you to enjoy whatsoever you are doing, not for the result but for the act itself. Only then can existence flow through you. Only then can it use your hands and your fingers and your brush. Only then something of superb beauty can be born.

It is never by you but only through you. Existence flows; you become only a passage. You allow it to happen, that’ s all; you don’t hinder, that’s all.

Don’t think of the result at all. Just do what you are doing with your totality. Get lost into it. Lose the doer in the doing. Don’t “be”—let your creative energies flow unhindered.

The Four Main Energy Locks

These techniques consolidate the effects of a Kundalini Yoga practice and direct prana within the physical and energetic pathways to promote healing, energizing, and strengthening of the whole human being.

Neck Lock (Jalandhar Bandh)

What: Neck Lock is the most basic and most generally applied lock. It regulates gross and subtle movement in the upper part of the body.

How: Lift the chest and sternum up while lengthening the back of the neck, by pulling the chin toward the back of the neck. Neck, throat and face muscles remain relaxed.

When: All chanting meditation, most pranayama. Breath held in or out.

Why: Concentrates the secretions of the glandular system, thereby increasing their interconnection. Regulates blood pressure. Minimizes external distractions. Seals energy in the brain stem and moon center (chin). Directs pranic energy into the central channel, calming the heart.

Root Lock (MulBandh)

What: Root Lock is like a hydraulic lock at the base of the spine. It coordinates, stimulates, and balances the energies involved with the rectum, sex organs, and navel point (i.e. the lower three chakras).

How: Three actions are applied together in a smooth, rapid, flowing motion. First, contract and hold the muscles around the anus. Then contract and hold the muscles around the sex organ (like stopping the flow of urine). Finally, contract the muscles of the lower abdomen and the navel point toward the spine.

When: Frequently applied at the end of an exercise. Sometimes applied – continuously or rhythmically – throughout a meditation or exercise. Breath held in or out. Women on their moon cycle should not apply Root Lock.

Why: Crystallizes the effect of an exercise. Blends prana and apana at the navel center which, when mixed, opens the entrance to the sushmuna for energy to flow up the spine. Stimulates the proper flow of spinal fluid.

Diaphragm Lock (Uddiyana Bandh)

What: Diaphragm Lock vertically integrates emotions, pranic energy, and functions that occur above and below the diaphragm muscle. Tightness in this muscle – and the emotions it stores – can make this lock more difficult to achieve.

How: Inhale, then exhale completely. Pull the entire abdominal region up and back towards the spine. The navel point is not contracted although it will move upwards. Lift the chest while gently pressing the lower spine forward. When held properly, the “notch” at the base of the front of the throat becomes accentuated. Hold for 10 to 60 seconds without straining. Then relax the abdomen, gradually inhaling without releasing the Neck Lock or raising the chin. 

For many people it is easier to practice this lock in a standing position.  With the feet shoulder width apart, bend forward slightly, hands on knees and back straight.  Lifting the chest slightly, apply the lock.

When: On an empty stomach. Held after breath fully exhaled.

Why: Massages intestines and heart muscle. Stimulates cleansing, promotes youthfulness. Strengthens the fire element, Third Chakra, and opens the Heart Chakra, resulting in increased kindness, compassion, and patience.

Great Lock (MahaBandh)

What: The Great Lock is part of the central infrastructure of Kundalini Yoga.

How: With the breath held out, apply all three locks (Neck, Diaphragm, and Root) simultaneously.

When: On an empty stomach. Held after breath fully exhaled. Done in various postures and with different mudras.

Why: Rejuvenates glands, nerves, and chakras. It is said to cure many ailments such as improper blood pressure, menstrual cramps, intestinal irregularity, and more.

MSM serves as an important source of bioavailable dietary sulfur, an element that plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and elasticity of connective and other tissues. It is an important component of proteins found throughout the body, such as in hair, nails, skin and tendons.

Vitamin C is necessary for the formation of connective tissue, amino acid metabolism, and hormone synthesis, and serves as a key factor in the body’s immune system. Molybdenum is a trace element that is needed by the body for sulfur metabolism, oxygen transport, and detoxification.

A few extra benefits of MSM:

• Relief of constipation
• Lessening of scar tissue
• Softer skin
• Stronger thicker hair, grows faster and stops split ends
• Fingernails grow twice as fast and are less brittle
• More energy

Have you ever taken an Aloe Vera Leaf broken it open and put it on a burn or blister? That’s MSM you’re using.

Have you seen people with red-welted skin who itch a lot or have leathery skin, which splits, cracks or bleeds? That’s an MSM deficiency. Keloid Scars are a lack of MSM.

Ever seen a bird in a cage, which pulled all its feathers out? That’s an MSM deficiency. Birds in the wild don’t do that. Add MSM to their water and it will stop the problem.

Vitamin C when taken with MSM helps build strong and thick veins and arteries.

Emphysema occurs when you lose the flexibility in your lungs. MSM and Vitamin C provide the increased oxygen to the membranes faster and easier. Many times you will get immediate relief. These products appear to help repair the lungs giving back the flexibility. Many people have found that in as little as a week they were off their oxygen and were able to start walking outside, up to a half mile. Within three months many were back to work at desk jobs.

It has been found to take up to two years to get the old cells to die off and new cells to take their place. For this to happen you cannot hit and miss on taking the products. You must take it regularly. Remember again that not every product will work for every person, but It’s worth the try.

Burns: People who have been seriously burned and have had skin grafted, have found great relief with the MSM, MSM Lotion & Vitamin C. It helps build new blood vessels, collagen and flesh under the grafted skin, new skin color as well as increasing mobility. In some cases you will no longer be able to feel the demarcation line. It’s worth a try. Remember it takes time.

Diverticulitis is a Vitamin C & MSM deficiency. Take it, and it should correct the problem.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome: In some cases MSM Lotion has gotten rid of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in as little as (two) weeks time. Take all three products though.

Hang Overs: MSM and Vitamin C will kick a hang over in 20-30 minutes. MSM makes the cell so permeable that it kicks the alcohol out of the cell its killing, and drives oxygen back into the cell. I have seen it work on three different people. Works very well. They ask me not to use their names.

Women and their monthly cycle – MSM and Vitamin C helps alleviate the pain associated with a monthly cycle by helping the glands work properly. This in turn helps dramatically easing the pain of headaches, cramps, nausea and hot flashes. It’s worth a try it might help.

Migraine Headaches: I have read that people who have suffered for years with migraine and chronic headaches have gotten real relief from MSM and Vitamin C even to the point of curing the migraine part. I suffered dearly for many years from them, even ending up in the hospital many times for the shots. I beat the problem with nutritional supplements before I knew about the above combination. I can now control my headaches with Advil.

Dog Lovers: You may not have to put your favorite pet to sleep because he has hip dysplasia, or any condition where that pet can hardly get around. Give him some MSM and Vitamin C. Give him or her a little time and you may find your favorite friend able to get around again and many times very well. Sprinkle MSM crystals on his food or water or shove a tablet down his throat.

Diabetes: This is so important I’m putting it in bold print.

You can beat Type 2 Diabetes and help yourself with Type 1. MSM and Vitamin C when taken will help regulate your blood sugar. I recently told a friend of mine Ron of my research about MSM and Vitamin C of which he put himself on for some problems he was having. Ron shared the information with another friend of ours Pat Campbell. Pat’s Diabetes was getting out of control. He had bleeding behind one eye and his blood sugar was running between 150-250 while on his medication. Pat came by to talk to me and I shared some research with him. Pat advised me, that normal blood sugar is supposed to be around 120. He said when he awoke in the mornings his blood sugar was running between 180-200. The doctor had him taking four pills a day and Pat was told to take 1 shot each night before bedtime. Pat said he refused to take the shot and decided to try the above MSM and Vitamin C combination.

To his surprise within a week, when he awoke in the morning his blood sugar was running between 114-120 and during the day around 140. I also told Pat about several other nutritional supplements that I had read about that knock Diabetes in the butt. He has checked it out and put himself on a few more of them and has cut his Diabetes Medication by 50 percent in the past 6 weeks. I feel Pat’s body will cure itself of the Diabetes if he keeps providing the nutritional support his body is starving for. Diabetes and most all diseases are a symptom of starvation. Provide your body with the proper nutritional support and your body, most of the time, will be able to heal its self.

I have also read that many diabetics who have been on the needle five or six years or more have been able to get their body to start regulating after about four months. I would say by watching Pat Campbell’s progression that one should watch their blood sugar “very closely” if they decide as Pat has, to become responsible for their own health. Pat calls me daily, and some days two or three times a day telling me about his progress. I have never seen a guy so excited as him. He has now started telling others, with diabetes, his story. I’ll let you know how he does. I believe he will beat it completely. Remember it takes more than just MSM and Vitamin C to win the battle.

Up until 1990’s, there was nearly no research done on the pineal gland, in other words, our third eye. An ancient knowledge long forgotten, or neglected, resurfaced with the tireless efforts of a British scientist Jennifer Luke who published the results of her research proving that the fluoride deposits were accumulating in the pineal gland causing it to calcify and thus causing many mental and physical illnesses. Most importantly, fluoride decreases melatonin production. Why is this important?

Melatonin regulates our sleep pattern, it plays an important role in our sexual development but most of all, it is the bridge between our body and our mind. Our spiritual development is also connected to our physical well being. This is why we make certain changes in our diets not just to simply lose weight but to also consume the healthy foods that benefit our physical health. You can not expect to have a healthy mind if you do not have a healthy body. Therefore, you can not grow spiritually if you do not take good care of your body through good diet, exercise and meditation.

There are many theories about the presence of fluoride in our food, our medications and certain things we use on a daily basis. One of the most well known goes back to the Nazi Germany and their practice of fluoridating the water in order to better control the population. Apparently, they knew that a calcified pineal gland would create mentally and spiritually weakened population for the Nazi government to practice their inhumane and cruel tortures on the prisoners.

Before we dive deeper, let us take a look at some of the most common things we consume daily that contain fluoride:

• Water

• Pesticides used in farming

• Processed foods and beverages

• Dental products like toothpaste, tooth filling etc.

• Antidepressant medications

• Teflon pans

• Industrial chemicals

As you can see from the above list, maintaining an organic food based diet is more important than you might think. Not just antidepressants but also lots of other medications contain fluoride and this is why it is necessary to improve our physical health to overcome our illnesses so we do not have to depend on a lifestyle that forces us to consume and use fluoride based products.

How can we cleanse our body from fluoride in order to become healthier and to improve the connection between our body and our mind so we can maintain a decalcified pineal gland? Here are some quick tips:

• Consume foods rich in iodine like, seaweed, Himalayan salt, fermented foods.

• Use curcumin (a component found in turmeric which is highly effective in detoxifying your body from fluoride)

• Get a good water filter if you are using tap water. Not all water filters get rid of fluoride so before you buy one, make sure you choose a brand that gets rid of fluoride in your water.

• Use fluoride free toothpaste, or use small amounts of toothpaste and thoroughly rinse your mouth after you brush your teeth.

• If you need dental treatment, opt for fluoride free solutions.

• Avoid processed food at all cost, consume fresh and organic food.

• Do not cook with teflon products.

• Use Himalayan salt

• Exercise regularly. Sweating helps your body release the toxins.

• Increase your magnesium intake.

• Avoid taking medications that contain fluoride.

• Increase your selenium intake by eating, nuts (Brazil nuts mostly) together with other foods that are high in vitamin C.

Now let’s take a closer look at what actually fluoride does to our pineal gland and how it impacts us spiritually and mentally. Fluoride is now being recognized as a neurotoxic chemical that affects our developmental health. One of its side effects is lowering the IQ levels in children and also causing ADHD. When we consume products that contain fluoride, it goes to our blood stream, finds its way into our bones and pineal gland. Especially in pregnant women, this can be a risk factor as it plays an important role in brain’s development.

As we mentioned above, fluoride was highly used by the Nazis to keep the prisoners passive in concentration camps. This results in decreased learning capability and poor memory. When our brains are not able to function properly, we are more prone to autoimmune disorders, a weakened immune system and poor physical health. Mind and body go hand in hand. If one is suffering the other will not be able to fight the stress. Fluoride also lowers our energy levels. When we don’t have enough energy, our metabolism slows down, instead of consuming healthy foods (because they require us to prepare them and since we lack the energy to cook we go for the fast and unhealthy options), we eat processed foods. Of course we don’t have to start counting the bad side effects of a diet that contains mostly processed foods, sugar, bad carbs and bad fats. The whole thing is a chain reaction if you will. Before we know it, we are part of the weak masses.

Think of pineal gland as a sponge. Why do we say that? Because it absorbs much more fluoride than our blood and our bones do. Fluoride will eventually cause calcification in our pineal gland. Like a faucet clogged with too much calcium and can not pass enough water before it is cleaned, our pineal gland will not be able to function fully when it is clogged. A mal functioning pineal gland can cause sleep problems, weight gain, early start of menstruation in girls etc.

Pineal gland also regulates the levels of serotonin and dopamin. These two hormones are closely tied to our mood. When our brains can not produce enough serotonin and dopamin we suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, lack of motivation, low energy, anger and problems with focusing among many other things.

All these health issues we talked about will reduce our ability to achieve spiritual growth. This is the most important part of the problem. If you think about most of the medications prescribed for a wide variety of diseases including depression and anxiety, they contain high levels of fluoride yes, but they also contain synthetic hormones that temper with our brain’s natural ability to produce these hormones. Once we introduce synthetic hormones to our bodies, our pineal gland loses its function. When we close our eyes, we can not see, this is a simple fact. Our pineal gland is our third eye. When it is damaged, our third eye is also closed. This is the mind’s eye, our path to higher consciousness, spiritual awareness and self awakening. No amount of meditation, efforts of positivity or spiritual practices can help us go any further if we don’t deal with the source of the problem. If you ever find yourself helplessly meditating but not making any progress, trying to do all you can to open your third eye chakra to no avail, if you can not improve your physical and mental health no matter how hard you try this is why. Because you are overlooking the most important step in the process.

But now that you know where to start and which steps to follow, make a good plan for yourself including a healthy diet along with exercise and meditation. There is no doubt this was a long lost knowledge because we have now a lot of historical and archeological proof showing that almost all ancient civilisations were aware of its function and its role in spiritual awareness. We are now rediscovering this long lost secret. In ancient civilisations, pineal gland was associated with powers like psychic abilities, supernatural powers. It was also associated with sexuality, body’s biorhythm, mysticism, intuition or sixth sense. Today, we also call it the sixth chakra. Now, science shows us what our ancestors knew centuries ago was in fact true.
