Session 4 — June 2007

Frederick asks what 'buffered ascorbic acid' means.

The Wonders say calcium ascorbate is best — several minerals can buffer vitamin C, but calcium has the best buffering ability — while stressing this was a suggestion, not an obligation.

He notes most buffered products combine magnesium and calcium; they tell him to keep looking, as plain calcium ascorbate is available.

On whether the calcium in it counts toward his calcium-magnesium supplementation, they say no: less than 10% of the dose is calcium, and less than 1% of that is absorbed.

Unable to find a 3-to-1 calcium-magnesium ratio, he suggests that insisting on it would be a control approach and that 2-to-1 would do just as well, which they confirm.

Frederick explains that frequent travel and hotel stays make his organic diet difficult and wonders whether the long-term answer is to avoid such situations.

The Wonders suggest bringing food, then tell him to stop trying to control everything: he will go to restaurants and eat as best he can, which is precisely why he keeps a regular organic diet and a cleansing programme.

If travel pushes roughly 70-80% of his diet into non-organic restaurant food, he should expect to need another liver cleanse once he enters the maintenance phase.

Until then he should treat it as part of the experience; eventually he will find restaurant food uninteresting and lacking nutrition, his body will crave real food, and he will naturally start carrying organic items such as nuts and seeds.

They add that he should not stop himself from enjoying a non-organic celebratory meal with wine — his present psychology would make him refuse — but he should recognise that his body may take a few days to recover from it.

Frederick also asks about 'bone mend', an ingredient in the previously recommended scar cream, and they clarify it means bone-mending, from mending as in sewing.

Frederick, having seen a television programme about a tomb found in Israel, asks whether it could be the Nazarene's.

The Wonders remind him that the Nazarene did not die in Israel and describe the surrounding myth.

The apostles, needing to convince people that their new way of thinking was the way, created a mythical individual — effectively a new god — and, given their lack of education and their continued belief in witchcraft and paganism despite the Nazarene's one-God teaching, elevated him accordingly.

Claiming he died and rose from the dead secured their own continuity as leaders; admitting he had simply survived and left would have made them unimportant and let followers go to him instead.

Christianity, they say, did not begin with the Nazarene but much later, and the paganistic perspective formed the myths around his death, which people have been trying to locate ever since.

They describe a current worldwide effort to prove the validity of his death and of the myths in order to justify Christianity's foundations, at a time when Christianity is questioned by Islam, to a lesser degree by Jewish people who saw him as a prophet, by the New Age movement (which nonetheless still uses many Christian concepts), by a current book and film, and by the Wonders themselves, who state plainly that he did not die but lived, and did not die in Israel.

Frederick asks why his protocol covers only the physical.

The Wonders explain that they give physical, mental, emotional and spiritual protocols to those who ask, and he asked only for a physical one; he then requests the others.

Mentally, they say he has a good, strong, sharp mind, but the mind runs his life, keeping him in constant fear because it creates perceptions and illusions he takes as real.

Their recommendation is that he begin commanding the mind, realising that the 'you that is you' encompasses the mind and must command it rather than be commanded.

The mind will start responding; it is an amazing and powerful tool that can create reality, but he must be in command of it.

Doing so, he will let go of the illusion of fear — not that moments of fear will vanish, but he will no longer be so tied to it or struggling against it.

Emotionally, they say emotions are to him like a spot on the face: he knows they are there but finds them bothersome, so emotions are not his greatest asset.

They suggest he recognise that he is an emotional being and use his command of the mind to explore his emotions, whereupon he will find a genuinely emotional person who loves to come out and play, discover an emotional health he had not thought possible, and reach the balance he has been seeking.

Their closing assurance is that if he starts commanding the mind, everything else will fall into place.
