KNAPSACKS
Same construction as backpacks. Typically, knapsacks are nylon pouches that you fill to bursting, and strap on your back with nylon shoulder straps, and lug around on your back up against your spine. NOT good for your energy levels, really. You hikers out there will be able to attest to that, if you try out the difference between using a nylon one, and using one made of leather or cotton canvas. Believe you me, you will notice a BIG DIFFERENCE!
VACUUM CLEANERS
Well, what are you holding onto as you vacuum? A plastic handle. What is the vacuum canister made of? Plastic. And, there is evidence to prove there is a detrimental effect on the human body when they are using electrical devices while walking around on synthetic materials, or contacting synthetic materials. Of course, most of you are vacuuming synthetic carpet, right? Bad deal.
LUGGAGE
You carry it around sometimes, don't you? How much luggage is leather, today? I am referring to SOLID LEATHER, not leather lined with polyester, acrylic, or nylon. Just think about it - it's one more link in their long chain of CONTROL.
AUTOMATED MENUS
How desperately would I like to have back all of the hours I have spent navigating through all of the automated menu messages when I call a company! Haven't you ever been extremely frustrated about how long it takes to reach the right department of a utility company, or how many buttons you have to press on your phone to reach someone who can help you? I HAVE!!!
Very often, what I am calling about is not even ON the options of automated menus. Those menus may save companies time and they may save them having to employ a real human being to answer their phones, but they do not save our sanity.
Many, many times, I have patiently waded my way through all of the options, only to have the connection lost or to be put on hold for over half an hour. What a waste of precious time and energy. By the time one actually reaches a human being - if you HAVE, you are exhausted.
This may seem inconsequential to you, but I feel as though a few years of my life have been spent simply trying to get to someone to solve an issue - WHEN - the issue could have been escalated to the proper target IF a human being had answered the phone.
DIAPERS
Check out the section that's entitled TODDLER TRAGEDY - INFANT INSANITY. Here are some additional morsels for meditation. Believe it or not, wearing any garment with designs on it - other than one made with 100% natural materials - is not nearly as healthy as wearing a garment exactly like it, that is plain.
Years ago, most designs were woven into the fabric - that, was okay. The fabrics used were, of necessity, all natural. Today, the fabrics are largely blends, and the designs are either silk-screened on, or painted on by machinery. The dyes or paints used are NOT GOOD for your body, as they block the exit of waste. No, I am not "out in left field", I experimented extensively on this one. We already went over the insanity of putting a child in plastic diapers, lined with some synthetic material, in the above-mentioned Toddler Tragedy section. So, what is on the market now? Diapers with DESIGNS on them, which further reduce the baby's body's ability to breathe properly.
Colors DO make a difference, especially when they are right up against the skin. Babies' bottoms belong in WHITE, COTTON DIAPERS - period. Disposable diapers are on of the worst ecological pollutants around. Not only do they clutter the landfills with PLASTIC, what's IN them gives out an odor that is like none other.
If the environmentalists were truly concerned about "saving the planet", they would manufacture and aggressively market disposable COTTON diapers. It is so plainly obvious what they are up to, a babe could discern it - takes an ADULT, to be duped.
DESK CHAIRS
Millions of us park our posteriors in a desk chair, every single day. Take a look at what you're sitting on! If it's not wood, leather, or covered by cotton or wool, you're cutting off a lot of your energy that you get from the Earth. Oh, you don't believe me? Well, try doing the energy test referred to in our THE ENERGYGRAPH part of CONTROL INCOGNITO. Take the test while seated in a plastic chair, or one made of any synthetic materials, and THEN - do it in a solid wood chair. You will see a BIG DIFFERENCE - 100% guaranteed. You probably spend hours a day in the wrong seat. Change it - if your boss objects, tell him or her that you are allergic to plastic. You ARE!
NECK BRACES
This is the oddest thing. Why would you wrap up your neck in nylon and polyester and foam? Oh, you don't think it matters? Try wrapping a 100% cotton towel around your neck, and do the energy test. Then, put that neck brace back on - that the DOCTOR ordered - do the test, and see if you notice a difference. 'Nuff said...on to Page 17.
