Researchers have found that omega-3 fatty acids in the form of fish oil can often help with breathing problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema, as well as with numerous other health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, ADD, arthritis, depression, and many more. It is also very important before, during, and after pregnancy.
So many of us today live fragmented, unconscious lives driven by fear, guilt, anger, anxiety, and tension. Out of touch with the earth, with never a glance toward the sky, we rush into an imaginary future with little appreciation for the miraculous gift of Now--the only time and place we can truly live. This stress-filled rush into the future creates many problems for us--physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
...this breath of life which breathes in each one of us is what one basically calls freedom. In biology it's called Life, in affectivity it's called Love, in psychology it's called Consciousness, and in theology it's called God. The difficulty is to bring these all together within everyone's understanding.
The ancient traditions and modern medical research have demonstrated the intimate relationship that exists between how we breathe and our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives.
Love will not bring you to ultimate contentment. It is not possible to change the nature of things. It doesn't happen. What can we do? Two plus two are four. It is a fundamental law of life that love brings you to deeper and deeper dissatisfactions. Ultimately love brings you to such a discontent that you start longing for the ultimate beloved, God, you start searching for the ultimate love affair. Taoism is an ultimate love affair: the search for Tao, the search for truth. It is possible only when you have failed many times, loved and suffered, and each suffering has brought you more and more consciousness, more and more understanding. One day the recognition arrives that love can give you a few glimpses -- and those glimpses are good, and those glimpses are glimpses of Tao -- but it can only give you glimpses; more than that is not possible. But that too is too much; but without those glimpses you will never seek and search Tao. Those who have not loved and suffered never become seekers of Tao – they cannot; they have not earned that worth, they have not become worthy. It is the sole right of the lover one day to start searching for the ultimate beloved. Love, and love more deeply. Suffer, and suffer more deeply. Love totally and suffer totally, because this is how the impure gold passes through fire and becomes pure gold. Do not escape from your love affairs: go deeper into them. Go into love, because love ultimately fails. And unless you know by your own experience that love ultimately fails, your search for Tao will remain phony.

The Chinese Tao, natural law, or way provides a cleavage of the totality into complementary creative and receptive principles. The Tao is a seamless web of unbroken movement and change filled with undulations, waves, patterns of ripples, vortices and temporary standing waves like a river. Every observer is an integral functioning part of this web which extends both into the past and into the future throughout space-time. It is the implicate order. No binary, ideal or atomic concept has any independent reality or permanence in this unchanging river of change. No symbol can be separated from the organic context of the whole. Nothing which happens, no event or process ever repeats itself exactly. Nevertheless the Tao is unchanging like a convoluted eroded stone which stands beyond time.
'Vast indeed is the ultimate Tao,
Spontaneously itself, apparently without acting,
End of all ages and beginning of all ages,
Existing before Earth and existing before Heaven,
Silently embracing the whole of time,
Continuing uninterrupted though all eons, ...
It is the ancestor of all doctrines,
The mystery beyond all mysteries'
It is only in this sense of unbroken wholeness that the Tao is subdivided into natural complementary creative and receptive principles of yang and yin associated with male and female, day and night, heaven and earth etc. The power of the creative lies beyond the describable, and complements the world of form. The two together form the mysterious totality of existence. Central to the organic nature of the Tao is the inextricable dependence of each attribute on its complement, from which it draws its very identity.
Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.
Like Yahweh and Allah, Brahman and the Buddha nature in their aniconic cosmic aspects, the Tao cannot be named, cannot be symbolised nor captured by rational thought or symbols:
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.

When you walk you use your legs and when you sit in your chair what is the point of moving your legs? It is mad! When there is a dialogue, words are needed; when there is a situation, action is needed. But let the whole decide it; you should not be the deciding factor, you should not decide. Then there are no karmas, then you move, from moment to moment, fresh. The past dies by itself every moment, and the future is born and you move into it fresh like a child.
Tilopa says:
THE SUPREME ACTION EMBRACES GREAT RESOURCEFULNESS WITHOUT ATTACHMENT.
Actions happen but there is no attachment; you don't feel, "I have done this." The whole has done it, and the whole is neither me nor you -- the whole is both and neither. And the whole hovers around and the whole decides: you are not the doer. Much happens through you, but you are not the doer. Much is created through you, but you are not the creator. The whole remains the creator -- you become simply vehicles, mediums for the whole. A hollow bamboo... and the whole puts his fingers and his lips on it and it becomes a flute, and a song is born. From where does this song come? From that hollow bamboo you call a "flute"? No. From the lips of the whole? No. From where does it come? Everything is involved: the hollow bamboo is also involved, the lips of the whole are also involved, the singer is involved, the listener is involved -- everything is involved. Even a small thing can create a difference. Just a roseflower by the side of the room and this room will not be the same, because the roseflower has his own aura, his own being. He will influence: he will influence your understanding, he will influence whatsoever is spoken by me -- and the total moves, not parts. Much happens but nobody is the doer.
... GREAT RESOURCEFULNESS WITHOUT ATTACHMENT.
And when you are not the doer how can the attachment happen? You do a small thing and you become attached. You say, "I have done this." You would like everybody to know that you have done this and you have done that. This ego is the barrier for the supreme understanding. Drop the doer and let things happen. That's what Tilopa means by being loose and natural.
THE SUPREME ACCOMPLISHMENT IS TO REALIZE IMMANENCE WITHOUT HOPE.
This is a very deep thing, very subtle and delicate. Tilopa says, "What is the supreme accomplishment? It is to realize immanence without hope; that inside, the inner space is perfect, absolute -- without hope.

Despite its numerous incarnations across continents, the complete Tao has never existed in one place as a single text. After evidence of its existence was discovered among some dust-covered texts in a subchamber of the Cairo Museum, scholars were led to locating and compiling the disparate elements of a text which had been "hidden" in numerous publications throughout antiquity. Thus began the arduous task of piecing together this unique work. It was often likened to constructing a massive jigsaw puzzle the pieces of which had been scattered in a million places in a corn field. The monumental discovery and reconstruction of the Tao raises many questions: How has this arcane knowledge been transmitted from generation to generation? Was there ever a secret sect of so called "Tao Masters" who possessed the full unedited texts? Or, has it simply been through chance that individuals have stumbled upon a combination of actions and thoughts which have led to their success? Is the Tao simply common sense which can be deduced by any rational thinking human being? Or, as some have postulated, is it an example of what is called Instinctual Knowledge which, like the instinct in lower animals, passes mysteriously from generation to generation? Answering these questions and putting the Tao in historical context in relation to other great works across several continents, beliefs, languages and cultures, and human understanding, awareness and consciousness is an extremely difficult, if not impossible task. At this stage, it may never be known how and where the text originated. But what is of greater importance is the effectiveness of the knowledge contained therein. The Tao is a compendium of truths which, applied appropriately, is believed to create extraordinary success in any endeavor. Its origins coincide with the earliest known human writing in 3300 BC. It has experienced resurgences and rebirths, in various forms and identities, just prior to every major cultural, economic and industrial revolution in Africa, Asia, Europe and America. Despite major advancements in communication (ie. paper, the printing press, etc.) it has existed under the cloak of secrecy, and has defied attempts to maintain it in written form for the masses.... until now. Every generation's hope lies in its unhindered access to the best of all preceding generations. The challenge is to find the ever deepening meaning behind the Tao Master's poetic responses.
Mastering The Minds of Men
The average of men seek a master to be told when, and what they should do
And lo if you master the ways of all men their very rights they will surely hand you
The average of men will say freedom is the thing that they most wish to gain
But the average of men will decisions avoid so as slaves they will always remain.

Eduard Albert "Billy" Meier ist nicht nur ein primitiver Fälscher und Geschichtenerzähler, sondern auch ein Tyrann, der auf dem Hof, auf dem er mit einigen Getreuen lebt, ein diktatorisches Regiment führt. Widerspruch wird nicht geduldet - und der Spruch aus 2. Mose 2 "Du sollst keine anderen Götter neben mir haben," scheint auch hier Gültigkeit zu besitzen, denn Meier bezeichnet nicht nur Adamski als Betrüger, sondern er läßt seine außerirdischen Freunde auch die Wahrheit über eine weitere angebliche außerirdische Kultfigur sagen: Asthar Sheran.
Dabei ist der in den Augen seiner Anhänger ein guter außerirdischer Raumschiffkommandant, der uns retten will. Für Meier ist er jedoch der Inbegriff des Bösen - eine negative außerirdische Macht.
Daß wir es bei UFO-Kultfiguren nicht mit harmlosen Spinnern zu tun haben, zeigt die Affaire um die Sekte "Heavens Gate". Im Frühjahr 1997 konnte ein Guru namens Marshall Applewhite zahlreiche Anhänger seiner Sekte davon überzeugen, daß hinter dem damals am Himmel erscheinenden Kometen Hale-Bopp ein Raumschiff warte, das bereit sei, Applewhite und seine Getreuen abzuholen. Man müsse sich "nur" seines irdischen Körpers entledigen, und tatsächlich kam es zum kollektiven Massenselbstmord.
Eine ähnliche Aktion wurde allem Anschein nach auf Teneriffa im letzten Moment verhindert. Die Polizei hatte einen Tip erhalten, daß die Psychologin (!) Dr. Heide Fittkau-Garthe eine "UFO-Abholaktion" auf dem Berg Teide prophezeit hatte. Die Anhänger von Fr. Dr. Fittkau-Garthe hätten sich durch Gift ihres irdischen Körpers entledigen sollen.
Die angebliche Heilerin und Leiterin der Sekte "Fiat Lux", Erika Berschinger-Eicke alias Uriella, die ebenfalls die UFOs als Heilbringer sieht, verkündete gar den Weltuntergang für die Zeit ab 1998, während sie ihre Heilwässerchen aus der Schweiz nach Deutschland schmuggelte. Wetten, daß die Außerirdischen sie nicht vor dem Strafantritt bewahren können?
In der Nacht vom zwölften auf den dreizehnten April des Jahres 1997 sollten nach Auskunft des channelnden Ehepaares Erika und Wolfgang Ressler asylsuchende "Trigonier" in deren Wohnort Lausitzort Seifhennersdorf landen. 400 Schaulustige warten auf das UFO. Verschiedene Fernsehteams kamen, der Karnevalsverein rückte an, und einige besondere Gestalten brüllten "Außerirdische ‘raus -Deutschland den Deutschen". Kein Wunder, daß da die Außerirdischen nicht kamen... Erschreckend ist, daß das UFO-Sekten-Problem mittlweile auch eine politische Komponente bekommen hat.
