Can More Advanced People Transmute Less
Than Nutritious Food?
Q: In the past, you have discussed the ability of some people to transmute a food that isn’t good for us into something that isn’t so deleterious. Is that something that only more advanced people are able to do? Do such people eat whatever they want?
A: The attitudes of the average person affects his digestion, and his belief that a certain food will happily improve his health actually tends to make it be more beneficial to him. At the higher end of the human spectrum, Adepts have exceptional control over their biological processes and can specifically manipulate them mentally. Our bodies are great chemical processors, and there are ways we can modify that through thought. Moreover, people who are more highly evolved are more sensitive to things that are not good for them and are able to avoid them better.
Q: Adepts still watch their diet?
A: Certainly. As long as you occupy a body, you have to eat things that give you the vitamins and minerals that are essential substances our bodies cannot produce. They come in through our food; so everyone has to try to eat the things which provide all the basics. A problem, of course, is finding foods these days that aren’t dosed with insecticides and herbicides and other commercial chemicals.
Can One Develop Allergies to Insecticides and
Herbicides?
Q: Do you think that insecticides and herbicides, if taken in for a long term, can make you allergic to certain foods?
A: A person can definitely become
sensitized to such chemicals, but I don’t know that
one would necessarily become sensitized to a vegetable onto which pesticides
have been applied in a sort of “guilt by association.” If there is a specific
vegetable or fruit one eats that frequently introduces the same foreign
substance, which is deleterious to the body, after a while one could develop a distaste for that food without knowing why. There are
certain forms of body testing done by some physicians who practice kinesiology by which the brain’s
subconscious knowledge of what foods we are sensitive to can be clearly
revealed. Generally speaking, most foods you find in
the marketplace are tolerably safe, and foods that are out-and-out poisonous by
their own internal nature are kept off the
A: There are some
species of lima beans that will kill you because of the natural cyanide they
contain. They are
outlawed in this country. But in other parts of
the world, some lima beans have to be prepared very specially. Apple seeds
contain cyanide, but hardly anyone overdoses on them. And
you could get sick eating too many almonds because of their cyanide content.
Cassava root, which is a staple in Africa and some of the
Q: Why are almonds or other foods that contain cyanide permitted to be sold?
A: Because in normal amounts they’re good for you. A tiny amount of plant cyanide is actually beneficial as a preventive of cancer. Cancer cells are extremely sensitive to cyanide, much more so than normal cells, and so the cancer tends to be killed off in its incipient stages. The basis of Edgar Cayce’s recommendation that we eat at least three almonds a day is because of the available cyanide they contain.
How Will Adelphi and Stelle Handle an Economic
Collapse?
Q:
I asked you some questions about this the last meeting, and I’m
still thinking about it. I’ve been wondering a lot
about a potential economic collapse and feel that it could come by the end of
‘89. You mentioned in a tape cassette you recorded a few years ago that there
could be political realignments in the Southwest in an
attempt at a local recovery from such a collapse. Would you share your
image of what the realignments might be in the
A: I think it’s logical that-people will
group together to form a local economic system in the event of a breakdown of
the national economy, and this would probably lead later to an actual political
unification into a new state. I’m guessing that since
Q:
I presume the
A: Yes.
Q: So it would be those three states that
are on the boundaries of
A: They are all oil-producing states.
Q: Do you see anything in particular that would split us off from the east or the west?
A: It’s hard to predict how that will go, because it depends on what any constituency feels is in their best interests.
Q: What about the Stelle area of
A: Not until towards the
turn of the century.
Q: Those characteristics are obviously already set up. But they wouldn’t have fuel, would they?
A:
Q: Of course. Plus they have pipe lines already in place for gas and oil delivery.
A: But those lines wouldn’t
be filled unless somebody fills them in
Q: So the Southwest coalition of states, as a kind of separate nation, could have a northern market to trade its oil to?
A: Sure. Probably they’d exchange silver and gold between the two areas rather than whatever their separate economies develop in the way of local currencies. Banks of issue always arise unless people prefer direct bartering, which is cumbersome. Businesses need to have some kind of medium of exchange that everyone locally will accept. Oil is a good medium and so is coal. Those are things that people need, and they can base a paper currency on those things so that there’s a real commodity standing behind certificates of oil or coal, just like when the USA used to issue certificates of silver or gold. People would prefer to walk around with a paper bill in their pocket rather than carry a hundred pound sack of coal or a bucket of oil, which the paper bill could represent and can be redeemed for.
Q: Do
A: Not particularly.
Where Is the
Q: So
where is gold stored in this country? Is there any place beside
A: Well, there are private depositaries,
and some banks hold precious metals. I don’t believe
there’s much gold left in
Q: But if it’s
not in
A:
Q: How does
A: Franklin Roosevelt deeded all of the
privately held gold that was confiscated in 1934, when
it became illegal to own gold, to the Federal Reserve Bank of
Who Owns the Federal Reserve?
Q: Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank?
A: There are five
private banks that own the controlling stock of it, and all of them are
in
Q: So the president literally gave the citizens’ gold to what is essentially a privately-owned bank?
A: Yes. There are a lot of people
who think that those who were involved in that transfer should have been shot a
long time ago for super grand theft. The gold was just shuffled around like it was some sort of outmoded trash. It was collected into
What Would a Future Medium of Exchange Be?
Q: So what all this basically says to me is that our future medium of exchange might not be gold or silver.
A: I think coal and petroleum products will probably be the things that will be in the greatest demand, and places that have it will trade it for other products or services while those who don’t have it will produce something else to sell in exchange for fuels.
