Way ahead of its time, this will be of interest to holistic health practitioners working with meridians in any way. Dr. Tennant healed himself of a life-threatening illness. His insights came out of this and his later work with clients. Dr. Tennant equates the millivoltage scale with the pH scale. This will interest those doing urine-saliva pH testing. Dr. Tennant says -50 mV is required at the site of any physical injury. This higher negative voltage attracts positive ions of nutrition which the body then uses to repair injured tissue. This very close to Dr. Reams' idea of "ionization." Dr. Tennant uses and sells a programmable electric acupuncture device. However some of us in Energy Medicine believe Dr. Tennant, and his belief system are "part of the circuit" producing his good therapeutic results. Not everyone using the same device will be able to do what he does for his patients. Ground-breaking stuff, yet to reconciled with Reams, and Steiner.

I read Greg's revised version and the Serpent mage sequel. I'm born 1951 same year as Greg. To me this is more a meditation on writing and self-mastery, less so a fantasy and almost not at all sci-fi. It's a meditation on taking chances as a writer. Many of Greg's novels take big risks and he usually pulls them off. This was originally his first novel. If you like writing derring-do, this will peal to you. If you are looking for a fantasy world of elves to live in--probably not for you. This is not a romance-fantasy world. It's about growing into and claiming your own self-mastery.

This book is famous for discrediting and shifting investment away from homeopathic colleges; and soon, chiropractic colleges. The report was produced by a cabal of Robber Baron industrialists attempting to create a monopoly on healthcare by patent medicine corporations, what we now call Big Pharma. Did it do any good? Yes, it did put a good number of fraudsters posing as medical men selling potions thru theatrics not thru good science. Medical scams of the snake oil variety subsided.

Wow, was I surprised by this book. Having come up thru the Terri Gorski codependence material in the 1990s, I thought I knew a lot about codependence. Terry Kellogg goes quite a bit deeper on all the topics and themes. Without ever being academic, he lays out the family systems perspective and summarizes the history of codependence. I suspect this book is edited from live talks he did. Terri Gorski's audience is mainly other counselors. Women writing on codependence understandably write for other women. Terry Kellogg comes from being a lay priest in the Catholic Church in the early 1960s. This was the era of Phillip Berrigan, the era when Catholic priests, nuns and Quakers were the leading edge of progressive protest and cultural change. I am now persuaded: recovery = spirituality = recovery ... If you are over age 35 and identify as spiritual, and do NOT consider yourself in recovery of some kind--then you may be missing some of the on-going journey the spiritual life invites us to. Healthy humility is a beneficial side-effect. This book covers intense topics in an intense way. In a second edition, I have these suggestions to make material less threatening and more accessible: - Break it into 5-12 short booklets, - Add more paragraphing, no Ps longer than six lines, - Make a blank line between each paragraph This will allow readers to exercise their own iNtuition more. This reformatting will make them more accessible and fun for live, discussion groups and group therapy homework reading. Thank you, Terry K.

If you have tried the 1951 edition free online, find it curious, inspiring yet also confusing and hard to read, try the 1985 edition. This is the definitiive ed. Review of the 1985 edition. I read te 1951 edition years earlier. The 1951 edition was more a "first draft" of a later, more presentable edition. 1985 is author-revised and has two additional editors. "Man or Matter" makes no sense. The original title was Man AND Matter. 'Man AND Matter' is the relationship Lehrs builds up. The unnecessary title change--and forgetting to copyright the 1951 first ed--both suggest the quality of amateur underground publishing in the 1950s. A Waldorf high school science teacher by profession, Lehrs works from a detailed history of science and science biography, at a high school level. He cogently, coherently and politely points out the errors, detours and dead ends exclusively materialistic science took. Lehrs honors and values the intelligent capacities of the isolated observer-self of Cartesian-Newtonian “hard” science. Lehrs suggests awareness itself, as part of Nature, is like salt crystals dissolved into water. If over time salt content increases, eventually, salt re-crystalizes out of the water into visible, separate crystals. Lehrs likens 'salt crystalizing out of water' to the emergence of the isolated observer-self of Cartesian-Newtonian “hard” science. This ego is a limited self, yet a necessary self, a necessary middle position which can evolve towards post-modern, whole-brain, science. Lehrs introduces his famous metaphor of conventional-traditional scientists as one-eyed, color blind, spectator-observer, isolated, divorced and apart from Nature. This caricature is also known as "Island Man." Lehrs re-frames the entire history of science using Goethe's holistic-humanistic approach. This leads readers to clearer view of Goethe's comprehensive holistic theory and Goethe's general holistic experimental method. These are then applied to etheric formative forces, with varying degrees of success. At its best, a way forward is laid out to re-incorporating into post-modern science, etheric formative forces neglected-dismissed-ignored by Enlightenment science. For Lehrs, the big picture is Nature, the external world. For Lehrs in Nature, gravity~levity are constantly at play and in play. Other forces are created out of sub-polarities arising out of the primary polarity of gravity~levity; all Nature forces created out of gravity and levity. Their meeting is the motive energy behind heat, friction, electricity, magnetism and radiation. We begin begin perceiving in Nature the over-arching influence of gravity and levity, dancing in countless combinations and expressions all around us. Emphasis on how all forces devolve from gravity~levity is absent from the first edition. It may help to keep it in mind if you attempt reading 1951. Lehrs resonates with Goethe, advocating a return to direct, personal observation of natural phenomena, to doing the inner work of evaluation and synthesis, to the final outer work of sharing what has been learned and how the experimenter has been changed by his or her study. This amounts to something like a return to healthy, truly human values in science. In 100 years, etheric formative forces will find its place in holistic science. Ether can not be dismissed forever as metaphysical abstraction, as unreliable clairvoyance. Lehrs Man or Matter is not the last word on ether; it is certainly a most wonderful first word. I recommend it over Wachsmuth's, Etheric Formative Forces, which I would read second, not first.

Primarily for practitioners and students of Energy Medicine methods. Lacks a spiritual foundation for meridian tapping and kinesiology methods. Still for those interested, a rare published first hand history of Applied Kinesiology, meridian tapping (TFT, et al), Touch for Health and later permutations from the period 1965-2005. The sixth edition has the most complete record. For newer, safer kinesiology methods, Google: kinesiology "god is my partner"

A journey thru the inner realms, up thru the Cosmic Mirror, for a visit with Sat Nam, lord of the first realm above the Cosmic Mirror, first level of Soul and Above. For many this will read like a devotional text by a mystic. It is this. For those interested, additional accounts of this very rare experience by accomplished person involved in the Science of Light and Sound and the Sound Current: When are you coming Home? By John-Roger, Tiger's Fang, 2nd edition by Paul Twitchell, Michael Hayes' personal account, a chapter in The Light Book (2014?) Did I forget any additional known accounts?
