LO SVEGLIO
Respiro adominale generg OSO
Quando piu sveglio respiro.completo
Sbadigliare
In caso di depressione, problema ecc. respiro silenzioso
osservando il problema.
Prima del primo collazione
Bastrika (5/10'respiri toracici, poi riposo, seduto, 3x)
Respiro del fuoco (5/10 respiri adominali, seduto sui
ginocchii)
Sarvangasana
Durante il gioro
ricordare i due punti relax (lingua e canale anale)
Tagliare il film
In ogne tanto respiro silenzioso (seduto, sdraiato)
In uno stato vegetivo il respiro toracica
in uno stato eccitato il respiro adominale
Per concentrazione, equilibrio
4-16-8 (3x, seduto o sdraiato)
4-8-16 (3x, seduto a sdraiato)
respirare toracicamente molto leggero, osservando le
curve, poi leggero adminalmente osservando le curve.
Perfezione del respiro
spinto (3x, seduto)
Prima di dormire
respiro completo
respiro silenzioso
respiro adominale generoso
Non deve fare questi esercizii subito dopo mangiato: aspettare
almeno un ora.
Se girasse la testa, sentissi mancanza di fiato, pizzicasse la
Page 17
mano STOP e ricominciare quando piu riposato
Il respiro non deve essere mai forzato: al contrario, deve
essere sempre voluto con piacere.
Il respiro senza piacere non e efficiente

Dear Jeff Samuels,
As I mentioned to you on the phone, the enclosed
pamphlet on Oxygenesis won't give you very much idea of
the process itself as it's designed for the people actually
undergoing it.
Nor will it mention depression directly.
This is because I think that depression is best resolved
cul-
into other factors, and these have to be looked,-rather
than the end-symptom itself.'
I see -three features of depression: i) The world is all
grey ('I have' no role'). ii), There's no future ('I have no
hope'). iii). Life doesn't feel real ('I'm not properly here
like other people').
These :mean for me loss of security. It is much like a
temporary loss of immune system.
Only when security is supplied as a physiological reality
will the depressions become tolerable and then diminish.
In my opinion no verbal or analytic forms will do it because
this is really a cellular condition.
It is achieved by Oxygenesis by
a) amniosis, in which the organism, perhaps for the
first time since the prenatal condition, is i) utterly
immobile ii) not breathing iii) not cerebrally aware.
It might be called, if we wanted to be psychological about
it, the reappearance of the mother', in the most genuine
physiological sense, a reentry into the womb (especially
important in the case of object-loss in childhood (death,
suicide of mother).
Amniosis is induced by the breath
(it may be a long haul of months in extreme cases).
That
is, security is now experienced, not visualised, hoped for,
talked about, imitated.
b) the elation principle, induced by regular thoracic
breathing.
It is customary for clients to burst out laugh-
ing during a session and not be able to specify anything
funny. Endorphin production is probably enhanced (a
property of oxygen), just as the emphatic exhales using
the abdominal muscles which we call laughter has a powerful
detoxifying and toning up effect on the whole organism.
This was what' cured Norman Cousins, in my view.
c) abdominal rehabilitation by means of the breath.
That is, the parasygnpathetic or automomic function, as
opposed to the arousal or sympathetic functioh which is
distressing for the depressant. Abdominal breathing
apparently affects the PH levels of the blood. But
such breathinng has to be learned.
No one lacking in
'bellows flexibility' can properly do abdominal breathing,
and in my experience most people lack this flexibility.
Therefore abdominal breathing in a group is usually
misguided because not learned from basic physiological
Page 45

3618 Socromento Street, Son froncisco. Co 94118 (415)657-3714
principles of the 'bellows system'.
a) the electrical charge induced by arousal breathing
with its invigorating and therapeutic effects on the
neurotransmission function.
Thoracic or arousal breathing
increases the charge of blood, and the oxygen on the blood,
via the vertebral arteries.
Lastly I ought to. say I'm much opposed to hyperventilatory
techniques in the treatment of depression.
The results look
spectacular but are paid for in the depression that necessarily
follows euphoria. : It. is like overusing one neurochemical
and then being temporarily depleted in it.
In my experience
euphoria and depression are frequently two sides of the same
coin, an escape from each other. One should try to induce
the very opposite of primal, cathartic, regressive, violent
behavior---namely, a greater stillness than the organism.
has hitherto achieved.
Hope this is enough to give you. an idea of what Oxygenesis
tries to do.
: Sincerely,
- laut

O.THE 'DEEP BREATH': .
we lie down and attempt a 'deep' breath,
which we fihd to' be simply a noisy: onë.
We talk about the
popular fallacy about "deep?. breathing - being desirable and
'shallow' breathing-being, undesirable. Thé smoker aims at deep
breaths he. otherwise, stàrves - himself off.
But the aim is
efficient breathing,"efficient oxygen metabolism.
In fact the
, west probably breathes too much.
- Asking people ito take - . a deep,-breath is meaningless, though
you hear it all. the time in *classes. : >'Just breathe naturally'
doesn't mean anything either because. the moment people think
about the breath it goes.out of synch.
You have to first show
people WHERE to breathe" in order to show them HOW to breathe.
The respiratory system is divided into 'two distinct parts, and
there are pthree modes of. ordinary breathing, which we shall
examine clater.
Proper. breathing i depénds on a proper
understanding of these physiological facts.
We must realise
that as animals.. our breathing I hass been deeply: disturbed, - and
often traumatised early_in. life, so that'we-can. no longer talk
about 'natural breathing'.
Otto Rank described birth anxiety as
'dispnoea' or gasping.
-This.' refers. to. the crucial changeover
from blood nourishment to oxygen nourishment which the baby makes
soon after birth.
OXYGENESIS falls into two parts: 1) the correction and
stabilisation of the breath - and 2) the use of the breath to
revolutionise the'. life, the mode of thinking, the habits, the
conditioning.
In a short workshop we :can only do the first, but
our most important work lies in the .second field, which requires
private sessions, because thé breathing patterns of each
individual-have to. be observed
the
so.. carefully, and
technique
built upon them:
We cannot send - you away with your lives
revolutionised but you will derive lifelong benefits, both in
health and level. of,performance, if you remember what we do and
practice it without fail.
You will 'have the advantage of
knowing that most of your fellow-performers do not - know how to
breathe, and. and. must.do with effort and technique whatyour
organism can do with ease.:

relaxation.
We can only understand this distinction THROUGH THE
BREATH.
We must learn that the breath is a barometer of our
thoughts, our will, our state of nerves, our mood, and that we
have the power to change these things with the breath.
Oxygenesis we have TWO RELAXATION POINTS:
the anus and the
tongue,
These will give us at any time a report on our nervous
state.
Relaxation is resting-from-tension, superficially.
is, so to speaking, induced from the outisde in, by a certain
position, sitting or lying or leaning.
Repose is from the
inside out, and can be achieved in any position.
It requires
training.
We can only hint at that training in a workshop, for
true repose requires an overhauling of habits which takes a
considerable time to achieve.
(SA) THe SEESA W
53) TE SWITCHEACK,
THE AUTOMONOMIC USE OF THE BREATH:
The sneeze,
the cough (500 miles an hour),
the laugh (endorphins),
the cry (restriction of the bronchial tubes to avoid excess
oxygen),
the fight-or-flight response,
the yawn (you shouldn't rise from your bed until you have
stretched and yawned; never suppress a yawn).
TuE NOSE
BREATH QUALITY.
We cannot have quality of OXYGEN METABOLISM
unless we breathe through the nose. Only for EMERGENCY SUPPLIES
do we breathe through the mouth.
The nose is supplied with
turbinates which comprise an AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM without
which the immune system will deplete seriously.
The first
symptom of this is MUCAL overproduction.
The nose is our FILTER
SYSTEM protecting us against bacteria and particles. STICKS OUT.
HOLDING THE BREATH.
When we do this in order to think, or
in anxiety or apprehension, we are trying to éngage POWER in the
breath.
We shall see that it is highly beneficial to hold the
breath when in repose, but extrememly damaging---it can lead to
heart problems-- --when in tension.
We have special breathing for
tension but it isn't breath-holding.
Many people hold their
breath during sleep.
This is called sleep-apnoea.
Doctors on
the whole don't understand this: the sleep apnoea at the top of
the inhale is harmful, but that at the bottom of the exhale is
reposeful.
One of my clients in California, a dancer, would
hold her breath in performance not only for prolonged periods but
during the most difficult steps.
Holding the breath is only bad
in this case if it is done on the basis of ignorance, because the
body will be in tension.
Once you can recognise tension, once
you have done beneficial breath-holding exercises (we shall do
this toward the end of the course) we are able to hold our breath
without tension.
THE INHALE AND THE EXHALE. In medicine there is no real
analysis of the breath on a physiological basis: to analyse. the

breath we first have to différentiate between the INHALE and the
EXHALE. The first charges, the second decharges.
The first
stimulates, the second reposes.
The first intoxicates, the
second detoxifies.
With the outbreath strong poisons are being
ejected partly through the breath.
The Indians usually call
mouth-breathers 'disgusting' breathers because they are always
toxic. (0) SHUNT IN G EXERCISE
THE PAUSE.
This is one of the most important features of
the breath, and the one never mentioned either by yoga or the
medical profession.
It must take place at the end of the
exhale, and supplies the organism with what we might call MINI-
DOSES OF REPOSE on which the whole autonomic process depends for
regeneration and an efficient immune system.
THE ELECTRICAL BREATH.
This is demonstrated by shaking out
the hands:
an immediate tingling results.
In other words the
electrical content in the blood is stimulated.
The same is
achieved by the breath, and has a strong therapeutic effect.
However, a person has to be initiated into the use of this
electricity over a long period, and this cannot be done in a
workshop.
WARNING: only the number' of exercises advised should
be done, and never exceeded except under a breath master.
Going
it alone produces extremely bad effects which even a breath
master may not be able to remove afterwards.

SILENT BREATH (0e Ts)
h THE TWO AREAS.
The respiratory system is divided into two
areas, the THORACIC and the ABDOMINAL, which are two sets' of
muscles connected with each other and interdependent.
In order
to make that interdependence work properly we first have to
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THEM.
The first is connected with the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
and the second with the PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM.
The
first is connected with TECHNIQUE, the second with AUTONOMY.
You will notice among performers that there are some with
technique and some with autonomy but only in the case of a few is
there a balance between the two.
THE THORACIC AREA;
we characterise the thoracic or
sympathetic area by FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT, or what in Oxygenesis is
called AROUSAL.
Some people spend their whole lives in arousal,
up in the head, neck and shoulders, with frequently EMPHYSEMIC
results.
All catarrhal or asthmatic symptoms are due to
confusing the two areas.
PARADOXICAL BREATHING is now a:
worldwide phenomenon as is HYPERVENTILATION, especially among the
young.
Hyperventilation is lack of carbon dioxide.
THE ABDOMINAL AREA:
this is the area of the AUTONOMIC
INTELLIGENCE, including the digestion, the sexuality, the liver
and kidney functions, the colon.
It provides the opposite of
arousal, namely REPOSE, which we shall learn to distinguish from
relaxation.
Relaxation is resting from tension, but repose is
what we call AMNIOTIC in nature, containing the healing and
regenerative processes.
Naturally great performances cannot
happen unless the two are in proper balance, and the aim of
Oxygenesis for Performing Artists is to secure that balance.

standing, when leaning, when running or heaving, when sleeping,
when resting, when thinking.
The need for occasional THORACIC
BREATHS (observe this in animals and children when alseep).
The
occasions when we breathe through the mouth.
THE USE OF THE TWO AREAS IN PERFORMANCE.
As there is
plenty of business and action in most performance the breath will
tend to rise into the thoracic area, and we may experience at
times giddiness, panic, fear, desire to giggle, uncertainty;
insecurity, loss of interest, even agoraphobia.
Putting
ourselves in a position to COMPENSATE ABDOMINALLY, for instance
by leaning against something, and especially by sitting for a
moment (we may incorporate this into our business during
rehearsal), we can adjust the situation in a moment.

clasped over thorax.

full expansion.
THORACIC BREATHING in order to judge DEGREE OF AROUSAL.
The
PARADOXICAL BREATH and its consequences (the chief one being
persistent fear, which is reflected in depleted FUNCTION-
digestion, sexuality etc).
There is never enough air, and so
this is frequently accompanied by MOUTH BREATHING.
This mode of
breathing, eliminates all possibility of an AUTONOMIC CONNECTION
with the audience.
LEARNING TO DISTINGUISH THE THORACIC FROM THE ABDOMINAL.
Thoracic breaths will AROUSE (after too much drink etc, when the
AUTONOMIC part is too strong), while ABDOMINAL breaths will calm
the organism (after too much AROUSAL or excitement).
You may
try it in the sex act.
THE INHALE AND THE EXHALE.
The problem of the one is always
the problem of the other because the two are indissolubly
harmonised.
The CANDLE BREATH is the best for ensuring repose.
The SHUNTING BREATH will secure adequate inhale-exhale and
exercise the muscles.
THE EPIGLOTTIS and interrupted breath.
This interruption
may take the form of CUTTING OFF or CURBING (making a noise).
THE CURVES are the test of breath quality.
THE DIAPHRAGM.
Our experience of suffocation when we've
eaten too much.
The importance of COLONIC IRRIGATION to
liberate the diaphragm.
An extremely delicate organ on which
the entire breathing apparatus depends.
It moves but slightly.
THE ACTION OF THE DIAPHRAGM when 1) breathing thoracically and b)
breathing abdominally.
The parts of the lung which are thereby
served.
THE LOWER LUNG and its connection with the autonomic nervous
system.
The western world suffers from DEPLETION or STARVATION
of the lower lung, and therefore experiences continual gasping,

are developed in the human primate.
THE AIR-SACS OR ALVEOLI.
When we realise their delicaccy we
use the nose and thus maintain the filter system, and we are
careful about what air we breathe.
Before a performance a visit
to a place with trees, or the use of a depollution unit, is
important.
But no breathing with effort.
A position of repose
and an easy movement secures proper oxygen-metabolism, but effort
and strain make it impossible.
THE MITOCHONDRIA.
THE DEAD MAN: the difference between relaxation and REPOSE.
It provides insight into the enormous electrical charge stored in
the cells, the degree of restlessness in the organism.
POWER EXERCISES.
Observe the emotions, any element of panic etc.
Incorporate with LIGHT: a) the creative b) the magnetic.
The Alternate Nostril exercise.
Incorporate with kundalini
principle.
THE COMPLETE BREATH.
This gives the organism a tremendous
charge.
We now see how this 'yogi' breath as it is sometimes
called cannot be done without first training the repiratory
muscles.
Most pranayama and yoga asanas are done in the west
without knowledge, so that the change produced is minimal, hardly
more than what a few aerobics classes or swims would do.
Yoga
means balance, and the mastery of the breath by the will.
There
cannot be balance in the organism unless the two parts of the
respiratory system are harmonised.

THE AFFIRMING COMPLETE BREATH.

INTRODUCTORY
ovO OPA
WORKSHOPS
INTERNATIONAL
A BREAKTHROUGH IN ACHIEVING
THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE SKILLS
XYGENESIS FOR
ERFORMING
RTISTS
OXYGENESIS is a dramatically effective breath-activation system developed by British directorplaywright
MAURICE ROWDON. He has successfully used this method with actors, singers, dancers and directors in
England, Sweden, the U.S. and Italy, where he conducts a special course for singers together with the brilliant
tenor Lajos Kozma. Maurice Rowdon has an MA from Oxford in Philosophy and was lecturer at Baghdad
University, Iraq, in English Literature. He has published twelve books, chiefly about Italian life and the
Renaissance, while the latest of them is about animal intelligence. He is also the author of a monograph
called Oxygenesis: the Secret of the Breath. One-day workshops are conducted in the Bay Area by Maurice
Rowdon assisted by Karen McChrystal MA and Dachiell Oddson, his associates in OPA International.
"Onstage the performer is alone with his nervous system. Yet he rayely pays attention to its key conditioning factor-the
breath. When he does it is usually in the vaguest terms-diaphragmic breathing, 'deep' breathing, 'natural' breathing, none
of which convey the slightest sense in terms of the physiology of the respiratory system."
"Oxygenesis examines the physiology of your breathing, that is the patterns adopted by your respuratory muscles, before any
rhythmic, much less any intensive, breathing is attempted. Breathing exercises on the basis of patterns adopted since
childhood and entirely unexamined are an absurdity."
"The physiology of performance is the physiology of the breath. Everyone has a unique breath, which has to be discovered,
and which, when discovered, is in the nature of a phystological revelation. Exercises will never achieve this.'
"Once activated, the breath is virtually a new organic function, a new vehicle for metabolizing, perceiving, imagining. Most
people are passive breathers, quite unconscious of their oun patterns or the effects of these patterns on the body. Most people
believe that proper breathing comes naturally. In a performer this is a disastrously wasteful defect."
"The human nervous system is in crisis. This has produced chronically bad breathing patterns in the mass of mankind.
Few people today realize that these patterns stand between them and the fulfillment of their ambitions. No performing artist
can will himself to success or perfection without an enormous strain on the nervous system which leads ultimately to
dysfunction, especially in success. Many performing artists rely on externals to keep their nerves intact-smoking, drinking,
prescription drugs, compulsive exercise. These are all efforts to bring the organism into repose. But only the breath can in-
duce repose. I refer to cellular repose as opposed to muscular repose. It is cellular repose that provides certain artists with
their ability for effortless and captivating performance, for the right timing and immediate recovery. All other states of
repose-induced by movement OY exercise- are transitory and superficial and will not support the performer at a time of
crisis or high demand."
A performer must have ease and he must have intimacy. He must belong to himself. But without repose, which only the
breath can give, these treasures cannot be attained."
"Flexibility is the key to performance and flexibility depends on animal vigor, animal detachment. I mean by animal' the
fullest operation of the complete intelligent being, as opposed to the operation of the conceptual faculty."
"If an actor or opera singer were to conceive his moves, his lines, his business and his projection in terms of his breath, he
would already have crossed a great divide: the performance would begin to look after itself in the most wondrous way. For
the breath determines, guides and informs the organism. In most people it has been reduced to a minimum fueling function.
In singing, the breath is the very essence of the whole procedure, and I don't mean the breath required to make the sound-
that is but a small part of it."
"The popular fallacy is that we need to take in as much air as possible and that we breathe 'shallowly! But 'shallow'
breathing and 'deep' breathing are two sides of the same coin. They are required by each other, and encourage each other.
Too much rather than too little breathing is the rule in the west today. Yoga and pranayama will do nothing to alter this.
You cannot do exercises beneficially on the basis of the wrong physiological practices."
Maurice Rowdon

Understanding the Breath
To anyone trained to watch and hear the breath, every trauma,
doubt and anxiety is registered there
in the sound, the rhythm,
the volume and the regularity or otherwise, as well as in the
muscular movements of the thoracic and abdominal regions.
The central nervous system constantly acts on the breath in
order to adjust toxic flow, emotion and energy expenditure.
Coughing, sneezing, sighing, laughing, crying, gasping, yawning
are all effects produced in the breath by the nervous system in its
effort to protect the organism in its confrontations with the world.
Oxygenesis is a fascinating reversal of this process. The breath
is made to act on the central nervous system, to rehabilitate it,
initiate ego-strengthening' in the Freudian sense, and accelerate
the efficiency of the auto-immune system.
Cellular Evolution
It: is doubtful whether the breath is today understood even in the
East, where more attention has been given to it than anywhere else.
Certainly its reintroduction as the chief restructuring mechanism in
our physiological system is long overdue. At a time when the oxygen
in our atmosphere is daily shrinking, efficient breathing patterns
become essential, not only for our optimal performance as human
beings but for our survival.
Oxygenesis involves 'VO Max' or maximum oxygen-utilization
capacity. Its effects are not only physical = they are a specific
evolutionary process involving the whole personality and taking
place on the cellular level. One of the most striking results of this
process is rejuvenation. Paradoxically, this takes place in the very
young as it does in the aging. Some people who go through the
oxygenetic process report that they fit into their own skins for the
first time. In the young this feels like becoming themselves after
having been the product of others, as if they'd taken a divergent path
since birth.
Many of the physical weaknesses and dispositions we are aware
ofi in our organisms are traceable to the fact that the nervous system
isn't in proper charge. Frequently in the pulmonary or respiratory
departments of hospitals therapists notice that people with COPD or
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease seem to have their lives
governed from 'out there' by habits and patterns over which they
feel they have little control. Oxygenesis is a design to rehabilitate the
nervous system in this respect, by putting it in charge of the
organism it belongs to.
Putting the Nervous System in Charge
A person undergoing his introduction to breathing techniques of
Page 152
this intensity requires careful and sustained guidance. It cannot be
done in a group. The one-to-one relationship is as important in
Oxygenesis as it is in psychoanalysis.
What can be done in a group is instruction in daily breathing
patterns, and awareness of the highly individual patterns which one
has been following quite unconsciously hitherto. In hundreds of
sessions in four countries I have never once found a person aware of
his breathing patterns even when his breathing was sound. So-called
'yoga breathing' seems to be as wide of the mark as any other. I've
noticed that in ashrams quite the wrong breathing exercises are done
to induce meditational' states. Itis as if a whole culture of the breath
fell out of civilisation quite early, perhaps in Egyptian times.
Millions of people take an annual holiday but fail to derive more
than a tiny percentage of the full value of the light and air because of
inadequate breathing patterns. The most widespread prejudice
(supported by many hospitals) is that since shallow' breathing is
wrong all we need to do is to take in vast quantities of air in 'deep'
breathing. This will exacerbate rather than remove difficulties. For
one thing, it will do little more than increase tension in the organism,
and tension is the very factor obstructing maximum oxygen-utiliza-
tion. For another, toxins are produced in the metabolism of oxygen
which may not be successfully combated if the breathing structure is
disturbed.
Two processes are involved when we take an in-breath. The
blood is supplied with oxygen, and secondly that oxygen is
exchanged for carbon dioxide in the cells. If the intake is insufficient
(which may be the case equally with 'deep' as with shallow'
breathing) and the cellular transaction inefficient, chronic distur-
bances must take place in the physiological system. In the case of
emphysema the exchange-activity between the air-sacs or alveoli and
the blood capillaries surrounding them has gone wrong. The air sacs
lose their elasiticity and the walls collapse. Doctors on the whole
believe that smoking is the most important single cause of this and
other forms of COPD but the fact that ten times as many American
men as women are likely to develop it indicates that smoking is by no
means the only factor
stricken breathing patterns may play an
equal part (and may the cause of the smoking).
Much of the amnesia we sometimes experience, or the faint-
ness, the sense of vulnerability to infection, the discouragement or
unlocated sense of loss, may often be attributed not to shallow
breathing but inadequate oxygen utilization at the cellular level. It is
this, not massive intakes of air, that has to be learned.
Breathing needs are signalled by the nervous system through
the respiratory center near the base of the brain, and also through
the tiny aortic and carotid bodies on the major arteries. The oxygen/
carbon dioxide exchange is attentively monitored. But the modern
organism, frequently acting under the shock or a self-punitive
cortical censor,' - requires these computer-like bodies to engage
emergency-systems rather than simply keep the required balance.
A state of constant inner panic will frequently induce a feeling of
Page 153
suffocation, and the subject will then open his mouth and try to
'grab' the air. It is an ineffective emergency measure and if used
again and again will affect the balance of the entire organism.
Learning How to Use the Air we Breathe
The oxygenetic process turns on this contradiction: it tempo-
rarily over-uses oxygen in relaxation, in order to reduce its use later.
Thus, the object of the process is far from being the breathing itself.
It is certain effects that are sought.
Among other things, Oxygenesis excites the production of
protective enzymes needed to fight the so-called 'free radicals' which
result from the metabolism of oxygen. These are unattached
molecules, and some longevity-researchers believe them to be
responsible for much cellular waste. When they react with
unsaturated fatty acids they produce lipofuscin, a pigment that can
occupy as much as thirty percent of cell-space. They are therefore a
decisive ageing agent.
In Oxygenesis the sense of at last getting all the air one needs is
due to the effective use of oxygen, rather than to increased intake.
When we breathe gladly and freely, and feel we are getting all the air
we need, it is because we are using that air to full effect, and the
satisfaction is a cellular response on the deepest level to the new
liberating condition.
Navigating through
an Impossible World
Bruno Bettelheim describes how autistic children frequently
depict themselves in their drawings as sitting inside machines which
they operate with their own hands, in order to navigate safely
through a well-nigh impossible world. These are often ingenious
structures. Autistic children can indeed be strikingly intelligent.
One, in an interview after successful treatment, declared that he'd
behaved autistically for fear that he would be 'left' if he demon-
strated his intelligence or his ability to cope for himself. *
We are all similar to autistic children in that we surround
ourselves with structures. When these are of a strongly (one might
say chronically) protective nature they at once manifest themselves
in the breath, and the fact that we live in a well-nigh impossible
environment, however much our parents may soften it for us, means
that our breathing becomes disturbed in childhood, even if it has
been sound in the early months of life. Protective inner structures
become necessary. However, if they are based on acute alarm or
Bruno Bettelheim, The Empty Fortress, 1967.
Page 154
anguish, they will interfere so drastically with efficient oxygen
utilization at the cellular level that a spectacular decline in the
capacity of the body's auto-immune system to ward off infections,
allergies, depression and killer diseases (among which I class
senescence) may take place, gradually or otherwise.
Oxygenesis intensifies immunological surveillance, whereby the
body continually scans its own disease potential. According to the
theory that we are surrounded with, indeed bombarded with, the
possibility of every conceivable disease,' * our only protection is a
constantly alert immune system. This system is therefore more
essentially the key to disease than any outside' source. When the
system is depleted, infections, allergies, killer diseases result in
strict proportion to the depletion. It would therefore seem that the
rehabilitation of the immune system must be the primary aim of any
valid therapy today.
Why Inhibit our Breath?
When we adopt protective inner structures, and especially when
we base our pleasure-systems on them, our breath. will be modulated
by our nervous system in a special way. It may seem strange that our
own nervous systems should make us breathe in ways harmful to the
organism, but this is the reality.
In the case of neurosis, as Wilhelm Reich noticed, shallow
breathing has a special function. It reduces emotion. For, in the
neurotic, strong emotion creates strong anxiety (to this extent we are
all neurotic from time to time).
Higher oxygen-intake, on the other hand, produces stronger
emotion. This is why a sudden enlargement of oxygen-intake may
produce cataclysmic effects, even a life-crisis. And it is why
Oxygenesis is a gradual, subtle and cautious process, by means of
which breath capacity is enlarged simultaneously with the capacity of
the organism to bear it.
This means that the enlargement
process must be monitored carefully, and constant reference made to
what I call the relaxation point.
The Relaxation Point
If there is a state of tension, any bombardment of the organism
by large quantities of oxygen will have negative results. This is why
so many joggers look strained and sometimes sick. The excessive
incharge feeds the rigidity of the organism rather than softening it.
We must learn how to run before we run. And this means learning
easy and graceful motion, that is, a state of cellular relaxation (which
is perfectly compatible with muscular tension). Likewise, in the
oxygenetic session the breath cannot take effect until primal
relaxation has been reached. This happens in ever deeper layers.
The breath induces relaxation when properly modulated, and this
* Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet, Immunological Surveillance, Pergamon Press 1970.
Page 155
relaxation induces easier breath, in an interactive motion. But in
extreme tension or distress the breath cannot possibly have this
effect. It will indeed create further tension or distress, often so filling
the nostrils with mucus that reduced intake is obligatory.
For the nervous system must do its job of conditioning the
breath to its needs. When we are in acute distress, perhaps after
losing someone close to us, it reduces the emotion by squeezing the
bronchials, limiting the oxygen-supply and producing discharge-
reflex in the eyes (tears). Only when the intake has been reduced,
and the emotion lowered, can the subject breath freely in order to
invite the relaxation point.
Some A-personality' research claims that stress has a
deteriorating effect on the immune system. Gerontological research
too confirms the idea that relaxation may be key to the body's
production of superoxide dismutase. It is even possible that it may
help the body lay in a store of this enzyme.
But relaxation' is a word that begs many questions. For it
cannot be had, except in a superficial way, without proper breathing
patterns.
The Electric Body
In an oxygenetic session the self-scanning' process is
intensified to the point where it may actually be felt as a mild
electrical current at points where the subject may or may not have
felt previous distress.
Some years ago I oxygenated a young psychoanalyst in Rome
who'd been involved in a car accident several months before. In the
second session he experienced acute darting pains in many parts of
the body, and in what seemed a definite sequence. When I asked him
if he could account for this he replied that the pains felt like a
'momentary recall' of the blows he'd received in the accident, except
that he was now aware of the fact, through this recall, that he'd been
hit in many more places than he'd previously realised. On further
questioning, he said that while experiencing these darting pains he'd
been aware of a pleasurable component as well, as if a healing
process was taking place. The only pain to persist in later sessions
was in the head, where he'd been hurt most. Finally this disappeared
too.
If a greater charge of blood is sent through the vertebral
arteries, and the blood is itself charged with more oxygen than usual,
the brain fluid (where the blood vessels are) will naturally respond,
and a striking invigoration of the neurotransmittory functions will
result. The subject experiences a quickening of the intelligence both
on the conscious level and in the matter of the organism's feeling in
charge of itself (both therapeutically and psychologically).
For me, this process is much like the subject being introduced to
himself for the first time. This can be very moving for the observer.
The face may change. I say face' here and not 'expression' because
Page 156
of the impression I receive that it is the subject's real face for the first
time.
This is especially remarkable when the subject is burdened with
'tough' or (in both male and female) macho attitudes. A look of
tenderness may steal over the features, and twenty years seem to
vanish in a moment. But the old rigidity will return if the process
isn't completed in subsequent sessions. Long-term oxygenetic
influence on the nervous system isn't the work of an hour.
The Antenna Effect
An 'antenna effect' may also result from the quickening of the
electro-chemical activity in the brain. Not all subjects experience
this. I find that the erudite or very imaginative invariably do. They
find themselves being fed with information during a session in such a
way that it seems to be objective and from outside while being
specifically apposite to their own problems, indeed an answer they
may have been waiting for. A writer may suddenly 'receive' a turn in
the plot of the book he's writing, and for which he may have been
waiting days or weeks. There may be an extraordinary enlargement
of ideas for a scholar or thinker which directs him to an entirely new
avenue of speculation. Truthfully these are inspirations, that is,
closely linked with the breath.
The Fear of Surrender
The anxiety of one who has lost his mother in early childhood is
often expressed in a 'braked' outbreath or a sudden panic-stricken
gasp for air which may interrupt sleep. The outbreath is much like a
free-fall into space, in that it creates the fear than, going out, the
breath will never return. For this type of person the universe cannot
be trusted, and constant vigilance, constant alertness are required in
order to navigate safely through life. There is a feeling of not being
able to surrender, of constantly fighting, even against oneself,
because of the lack of sufficient trust to make surrender possible.
Here too the nervous system is wise. The transactions with the
outside world into which such a person might fall if unprotected
would be highly dangerous. So the organism learns to be alert, and
this alertness manifests dramatically in the breath.
This condition may produce a fear to sleep or to fall unconscious.
Dozing may be accompanied by sudden starts back into the alert
state. That sense of a free fall into open space is directly connected to
a childhood sense that the mother's arms are not there to save one.
Since in this case a sudden charge of oxygen may produce
strong distressful emotion, and the nose quickly become obstructed,
making further rhythmic breathing impossible, the nervous system
Page 157
has to be coaxed gently and patiently, so that it can monitor the new
process and learn the language. The breath is perhaps the most
subtle language there is. It is certainly the least known. On the other
hand, only the conscious part of the brain is ignorant ofit. The rest of
the nervous system seems to hear it with relief, this language, once
the initial alarm has been overcome.
This is one of the reasons why Oxygenesis has to be secluded.
Every nervous system is unique. The four hundred chemicals
present in the brain may not differ from person to person but their
distribution or ratio in terms of each other, and certainly the
organism they are serving, do differ. My experience is that everyone
is a universe to himself, so that they rhythm, speed and nature of any
rehabilitation by means of the breath must differ with each
individual too. This is what requires the close and sustained scrutiny
of only one person, in Oxygenesis.
The Nervous System as Guide
There is only one guide for the way oxygenetic sessions should
go and that is the nervous system of the person involved, which will
signal all its requirements, fears and therapeutic designs through
the breath.
It will be found that in the most extreme distortions of
personality or health, in psychosis or schizoid behaviour, the nervous
system is still doing its job wisely. The sense of unreality that goes
with psychosis is a protection from the reality which the patient
would find impossible to bear.
The nervous system is constantly monitoring the state of the
organism and the situations in which it is being obliged to perform.
Our emotions are the language by means of which we can observe
this monitoring. They protect us in our transactions with the world,
softening and sustaining our role, and securing as full an expression
of our needs as we can allow. Anger is as protective as any other
emotion. It arises from confusion and vulnerability, which require a
compensating assertiveness. If there is too much anger, in frequency
or intensity, it is much like mucus-production in the lungs, which is
designed to protect the bronchial tubes from particles and bacteria,
but which may go into chronic over-production when the vulnerabi-
lity is, for one reason or another, too great. An obstruction results,
and the system cannot function smoothly, with disturbances in the
breathing patterns.
Thus, there are times when the nervous system is obliged to
push the organism to an extreme, in order to signal the need for
urgent remedial action.
In this respect the nervous system is much like a separate
person inside us. It serves our organism with meticulous care and
understanding, but its electro-chemical components are those of
every other nervous system, as well as being common substances
known throughout nature. From this inside/outside quality of human
Page 158
neurotransmission we derive a) telepathy and racial or morpho-
genetic experience, and b) direct' knowledge or what used to be
called inspiration.
When a person is said to be unbalanced (and we all become
unbalanced from time to time, in unexpected situations) this neuro-
transmittory service has confused its inner and outer functions, and
the cortex receives mixed messages.
Emotion
a Symptom, not a Cause
Expressing emotions resulting from this imbalance will never
remove the imbalance. You can invite a chronically angry person to
express his anger, or a murderous person to express his murderous-
ness, but the nervous system isn't getting the solution it is urgently
asking for, namely the removal of the cause of the anger or
murderousness.
We often hear that it is important to 'let go' or give up' or
'share,' rather than 'hold on.' But in times of personal crisis it may
be essential not to let go. Tension frequently has an important
organic function, in that it inhibits and concentrates energy not yet
ready for action. Without the extreme fear that precedes a battle
engagement no soldier could properly protect himself when the
bullets start flying. This is why heavily structured macho' types so
often crack up in battle.
If we share our problems and hurts too soon with another person
we may be drawn into their solution and not our own.
Also we are supposed to 'relate' well to other people, as an
unquestioned ideal of behavior. But in the case of acute depression
or object-loss in childhood the sense of isolation imposed by the
nervous system is essential to safe self-navigation.
If we habitually exorcise distress or psychological pain we may
destroy the design our nervous system has already built into its
transmittory service, and which may not be known to the conscious
mind. Great finds in thought and experience, great 'revelations,
frequently result from sleepless nights and long inner travails. The
'long night of the soul' precedes awakening. Lives of saints and
thinkers testify to this. In the case of physical pain, if we rush to
remove that pain chemically we interfere with the work of the
immune system, which is signalling for help, not exorcisation.
The Perfect Nervous System
The nervous system can never be monitored or observed if its
effects are seen allopathically, that is in terms of good' or bad.'
Much self-blame, and proportionate self-inflation, can result from
this ethical view of a non-ethical subject. Actions and emotions and
decisions end up by being good or bad in their consequences, but in
their beginnings they simply derive from the constant effort of the
nervous system to cope with the outside world effectively, by means
Page 159
of the organism it has been given to serve. This isn't to say that
self-blame, guilt or remorse are to be outlawed from the human
system. They are as essential to human survival as fear and anxiety.
Once the nervous system is actually felt and experienced to be a
unique, perfect and indeed miraculous machine, once it has been
contacted, the ethical question simply falls away.
At times the messages of this machine have to be deciphered.
Unravelling them is part of the work of an oxygenetic session, though
this process is seldom verbal or rational. Sometimes the unravelling
may take place in the unconscious, so that only its results are seen.
The Release Point
A release-point is reached in Oxygenesis which isn't at all an
emotional release. The subject simply finds that certain powerful
emotions, like fear or anger or self-pity, which may have bedevilled
him for years, are behind him, with little more than a shadowy or
momentary appearance in the sessions, hardly enough to cause a
change of facial expression. There is no going through of 'business'
or getting rid of garbage.' From the point of view of Oxygenesis
there is no garbage' in the human system. Our waste products are,
in fact, outside the metabolistic system once they have been
produced; they simply wait to be evacuated. Once evacuated, they
are produced again, being a natural and essential function of life.
It is the same with emotions. Strong emotions signal a strong
nature. In Oxygenesis the nervous system is contacted by means of
the breath in such a way that one's emotions can be surveyed not
only forgivingly, as in the psychoanalytical process, but as the
landmarks of a self which manifests to the conscious mind rather
than originates from it.
Surrendering to the Design
Thus there can be no development in the oxygenetic process
until the breath gradually wears down the mental will. Too much
effort in breathing will obstruct the relaxation point, besides
rendering the breath itself ineffective. Over-alert people, erudite
people, deliberately unemotional or cerebral people, frequently
delay this confrontation by all kinds of strategies devised by the
watchful mind, but, if they persist with their sessions, there is no
way in which the breath cannot conquer their conviction that the self
is merely a product of conscious decision and intent. We know from
brain researches how small a part in the total nervous function the
cortical area of the brain plays. We know that memories supplied to
the cortex through the amygdala and the hippocampus are already
tinged with fascination or regret or darkness or desire, and that the
conscious mind has done nothing to devise their particular sentient
quality.
To many iti is a literally unnerving' discovery that the conscious
part of the brain is largely analytic in function, and that the material
Page 160
iti is provided with has been manufactured elsewhere (and according
to a design of which the conscious mind may know nothing). The
strongest attack on the conscious or rational mind as life-originator,
or the seat of the self, was made this century by Freud. Current brain
researches will be a second.
But it is bad news only for the nervous system which has never
made a proper link with the organism whose every movement and
thought it is organising.
According to Oxygenesis, that link can be made through the
breath, if the process is handled with subtlety, patience and caution.
Hence the sensation so many subjects have of being introduced to
themselves for the first time, or fitting into their own skins, or
getting their real faces. Hence too the fact that they feel rever-
berations through life in the form of events and happenings which
are only seemingly from 'outside.'

adapting prowess.

No breath rhythms should be attempted while in a state of tension. This can
be measured by the breath. If an inhale is short (2/4 beats) it indicates a degree of
tension. Let this subside so that the breath may gradually lengthen; conversely,
lengthen the breath gradually and repose will grow.
There should be no strain in any breath rhythm or in holding the breath. At the

Strain indicates lack of repose and no breath rhythm or hold can work in this state.

THE NON SMOKING COURSE
On one of my courses I happened to mention 'repose' and 'peace'. One ofthe
participants said I'm not looking for either. I take a cigaraette to charge
myself, give my energy a boost and it does that. I can't afford to stop. That's
the nature of my job and in any case the way I am.' What Oxygenesis supplies
is action on the basis of a nervous system that gets the repose it must have in
order to function efficently. This repose is secured by the right breath. You
don't have to go into meditation or lie on a bed. That is, it is cellular repose, not
muscular. The breath simply gets into automatic pilot and does the work. We
should note that sports champions must, in order to lift weights or run a
hundred metres, have their minds in a state of repose such that they are
entirely without distraction. In fact it had been found that in their moments of
greatest 'effort' their brains are on a alpha level equivalent to a state of deep
meditation.
1.1 I would like you to imagine a circle round yourself, an invisible circle, a
protective circle that will keep smoking on the other side of the line, other
people's smoking and your own smoking. I would like you to be clear that if
you smoke you momentarily step outside this line, and that other smokers are
stepping inside your circle whenever they smoke. This is only a little act of
imagination. Try to remember that if you smoke you step outside this circle,
and after you have put the cigarette out you step back into the circle. What
you are doing here is cultivating a certain feeling round you, a certain
immunity. This is because, while the mind isn't the key element in giving up
smoking, it still is an important ally to have .
2. In other words I would like you to create the idea of an immunity around
you. Like a young tree you have to be protected by a fence during the next
few days. This fence is the circle ofimmunity you create round yourself.
Inside this circle the air is clean, your lungs feel grateful to be able to
metabolise oxygen without disturbance, your clothes and hair are free of
smoke smells. Inside the circle we never allow smoke-smelling objects of any
kind. Ash trays, packets of cigarettes, matches, must be kept outside your
circle, and since your circle moves with you these things must be removed
from where you are likely to go, at least in your home. These things won't do
the trick of stopping the need to smoke but they will help the breath
Page 167
understand that proper oxygen metabolism, such as you are learning, provides
infinitely more pleasures.
3. When with close friends or work associates who smoke you must be tryto
be aware ofthis area ofimmunity ofwhich you are the centre. It is only a
feeling but it helps. That is, you will work among them or converse with them
normally, you will observe their smoking and smell their smoke, but your
invisible circle will be there for you, impervious to their influence. You don't
disapprove of them smoking, you don'tinvite them to stop, you aren't
disgusted by the smell oft their smoke, you simply live within your invisible
circle and feel immunity without any criticism whatever. You don't even look
back on your own smoking, with regret, you simply observe that you once did
smoke. And when you give up smoking it is a very simple thing that has
happened to you. All you have done is omit to put smoke into your breath.
Your breathing has simply continued without this addition.
4. When you are with other people who are smoking you simply observe this
from within your circle, that is to say from a great distance, even though the
actual distance between you and them is two or three feet. In your circle you
don'ti feel envy because you have already begun another life, a life which they
will probably want to have sooner or later.
5. Remember that while all is different within your circle it doesn't cut you off
from the outside world because only you know about it, and it is invisible, and
it does no harm to anyone. In fact it brings you closer to other people because
what they do doesn't provoke a feeling of envy or opposition in you. You
simply have nothing to do with their habit, only with them as friends or work
associates. In other words you try gradually to dissociate all your other habits
from the smoking one.
6. I would like you to believe that when you say a cigarette relaxes you that it
is in fact the type ofbreath you are using that relaxes you. And I would like
you to perceive the problem of sioking as like any other problem: it is
something that is asking to be turned round. Secondly, though the problem
may appear to be one that concerns health and well being, it is no more of a
problem than any other one, such as a work problem that, say, prevents you
from achieving great health in your work, however you overstretch yourself.
The breath can do this, but the oxygen metabolism must be maximal. This
doesn't mean that you need overloads of oxygen but that you provide the
breath and the breath then supplies you with the wherewithal to enter cellular
repose at any time. Thus we find it is untrue that smoking relaxes you. It
palliates the tension but it takes you further from cellular repose and the
Page 168

A resume of the events of the last few days.
This is a physiological change. It isn'tto do with mental determination
because resolve dies easily under stress, grief, over-work, crisis, namely under the
life people have to live now. Iti is made physiologically by the breath. At the same
time, the mind is part of the physiology and must go along with it. Ifthe mind
doesn'tk know what's s going it can'tl be a fully cooperative function.
Please close your eyes.
This is where it begins: there is no turning back.
"T am never going to smoke again."
I asked you last time to put a circle round yourself with in which you feel
safe and your own self that belongs to you and is choosing the life you lead. Now I
am going to ask you to think of this circle as a breathing space around you. I
indicated to you last time that within the circle you have pure air and your lungs
feel happy, and now I want you to think ofthe circle as an actively breathing space.
Also, just as we say 'count ten', to give ourselves breathing space, perhaps in a
difficult situation, SO we must step back within our circle or breathing space, and I
shall be teaching you some breaths which will help this. Ifyour breath is your own,
then you can decide things with your breath, that is you will be led by your breath
and not purely mental decisions. As I said in the first session, your breath is as
unique as your fingerprint, and now I would like to say that if you try to decide
things purely with the mind it will not necessarily be consulting this fingerprint,
and therefore it will not go very deep in helpingyour life.
This is where it begins: there is no turning back.
"I am never going to smoke again."
Now I want you to think ofyour breathing space, your circle, as a work
space. We usually refer to a work space as ifit were a dead or inanimate thing, a
matter of inches and feet and degrees of work-fiiendliness. But I want you to think
ofyour true work space as your breathing space, your circle. And again I would
like to emphasise that this space doesn't cut you off from other people. It pouts you
nearer to them because they feel in you something that draws into being their
breathing space, which may not exist but is intrigued by your degree of composure.
But this space doesn't cut you off from your own energy either, nor does it cut you
off from other people's. You can be running and working at tremendous deadline
speed, but sill be living within this space. In fact it concentrates your energy, gives
Page 169
it potency. Think of the sports people. They are required to void their minds, be
remote from their surroundings, in the time of concentration during which they
throw a javelin, a ball, or lift a weight, or sprint a hundred metres. In fact it has
been found that their minds are at alpha levels equivalent to a state of meditation.
They cannot be rushed, even though they are expending vast energy.
This is where it begins: there is no turning back.
"I am never going to smoke again.'
Your work space is also a space ofinfluence. You can influence others to
work,with you and for you, and appreciate you, simply by having this breathing
space around you, and in this way you can build a remarkable serenity in yourself
even while in the midst of other people's stress, even in the midst of anger. This
doesn'tmean that anger or stress will cease for you. They are natural components
of all animals. But the anger or stress is subtly altered.
This is where it begins: there is no turning back.
You may notice that I didn' t add that little sentence about I shall never
smoke again. This is because a problem, when it arises, like smoking, is always
asking to be turned around. This is what a problem is, a signal that something has
to be turned around. A problem isn'ta decision on the part ofi implacable fate to
hinder your life. Iti is saying, turn me around please because I need some kind of
liberation in this area. Nor is a problem outside. It is always inside. It requires a
new step, it is a liberating step in disguise. And your breathing space, your breath,
gives you the chance to bring it into being. Just as smoking is about the breath, just
as it is a manipulation of the breath, SO now your own properly aligned breath is the
solution that smoking was looking for.
So we have gone beyond saying that it is healthier not to smoke than to
smoke. With the breath we can ensure that there are no consequences of a negative
kind from the smoking. The power of recovery in the body is immense, and oxygen
is the primary source of recovery. The alveoli oft the lungs respond at once to the
aligned breath.
So now I am going to go through one or two breaths for you which are
suited to different occasion and states and needs. Remember please that the breath
is a flexible and constantly changing thing which is adapted to your state of the
moment, and we aren'tlearning fixed routines. You will always be consulting how
you feel before embarking on a breath, which means principally that you never
embark on a special breath until you have referred to your circle, your breathing
space, and put yourself at rest, in a chair, standing up, wherever you are, because a
breath pattern done in tension increases the tension.
Page 170
experience of amniosis. It create the kind of energy which depletes, namely
what we call nervous energy.
7. Let us say that you experience a sharp sense of disappointment over some
news and at once you need to smoke. Then the smoking will ease the
disappointment, console it. But within your circle ofimmunity there is no need
to oppose or try to remove any emotion that you have. Within your circle you
don't have to go against any of your body's feelings, even the desire to
smoke. You leave it where it is. You observe it and let it pass. Only cellular
repose provides the ability to observe one's feelings and accept them, and let
them dispel as they came. There is no need to fear our own feelings and wish
at once to engage in a ritual action such as smoking. This ritual action doesn't
remove the feeling, only intensify the importance ofthe ritual.
8. These are simply thoughts but they are thoughts that help to undo all the
many mental habits that surround all ritual, and the breath can then do its
work by going onto automatic pilot and knowing exactly what to do in order
to manage the swift changes in the nervous system. Oxygen metabolism, after
all, is the service that guarantees the strength of the nervous system and its
ability to overstretch with safety..

specific human biological problem and we will get out of it only by
means of a process that starts with the breathing muscles.

Maurice Rowdon's
Oxygenesis
a dramatically fective breath initiation
"and one man in his time plage mang parta"
Athletes' brains record a state of meditational calm while their bodies
are engaged in the greatest effort. Here are the two selves that
Oxygenesis brings into play, the performer and the automatic motor
control'.
Our breath is automatic' but it has been automated wrongly. This is a
specific human biological problem and we will get out of it only by re-
aligning the breath.
Oxygenesis is a voyage of discovery in a territory that has never before
been charted. There are astonishing new facts. For instance, one of the
goals of breathing is non-breathing (we are neither breathing nor
holding the breath). This happens when we are in a state of breath
metabolism.
Unaccountable feelings of exhilaration whatever the circumstances are
one of the Oxygenetic surprises.
Economy of breath not deep' breathing is the goal. We breathe too
much-this is an emergency measure to handle states of alarm, i.e. we
haven't equipped ourselves with the right motor control.
The cell called the mitochondria, present in most human cells, is
sometimes called the building brick' orevolutionary cell' of the body. It
speaks a language our bodies cannot decode. It is also in charge of the
oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange.
When this exchange is in a state of excellence SO are our powers of
performance (which depend on powers of automatic invention).
Our cells are informed with our own particular and individual intelligence
but we are disciplined since birth to live as if this intelligence lay in the
mind, the imagination, the T. On the contrary, we discover that we have
at our command an intelligence assembly custom-built for ourselves.
Maurice Rowdon devised his system in Northem Califomia in 1981 and taught it there for many
yeàrs: He has worked closely with actors. He has published widely on both sides of the Atlantic. At
Oxford he specialised in plilosophy.

PRESS RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE
OXYGENESIS - BREATH INITIATION
OXYGENESIS, a new and subtle breath initiation, is being introduced to the UK at The
Hale Clinic by its creator Maurice Rowdon, who is part of the Medical Director's dazzling
101' team. He is a Londoner who has spent most of the last fifteen years travelling and
developing his system. An Oxford-trained philosopher, he has created what he calls
physio-philosophy, with its emphasis on animal function, and has published twelve books,
the last on animal intelligence. After working with myriads of people in Italy and Northern
California he came to the conclusion that most of us don't know how to breathe correctly
any more. We puff and blow and pant, take deep or shallow breaths according to the latest
wisdom, but what we aren't told is that each of us has his own unique breath which has
been stressed and distorted to meet everyday outside performance demands.
Maurice Rowdon through Oxygenesis goes into your personal breath pattern, your
personal breath distortions, and together you and he undo these distortions. In this way you
find your breath, and a great discovery it is. You will learn that there is a huge menu of
services which oxygen provides ifyou know its secrets. It brings what you need to knowi in
order to minimize fear, insomnia, pessimism, panic, stress. Sufferers from asthma,
hyperventilation, claustrophobia, even obesity, find themselves using less not more oxygen.
Clients report an increase in energy (including sexual energy), creative drive, confidence,
concentration, self esteem. A boost to our daily sense of pleasure may be one of the first
results.
This oxygen-provided menu of services has been known since ancient times in India and
China but wisely kept under wraps for fear of misuse. Maurice Rowdon's Indian teacher
declined to give him the secrets of the breath' but added You will come to them yourself
ifyou leavei it to time'. And he did come to them, in a seemingly accidental experience after
years of yoga- breathing exercises or pranayama. In 1981 he was ready to start building his
initiation system for Westerners which unlike yoga-breathing relies neither on exercises or
mental control.
Whatever we're doing with our breath we're doing with our life, 3 says Maurice Rowdon.
The fact that we breathe automatically doesn't mean we breathe beneficially, let alone
naturally. We are missing the most essential life supply.' > He is currently finishing his book
The Evolution ofMad Apes An animal study ofhumans.

NOTE
All breathing must be measured by the pulse. '16 beats' means 16 pulse
beats. This is discernible in the actual breathing.
No breath rhythms should be attempted while in a state of tension. This can
be measured by the breath. If an inhale is short (214 beats) it indicates tension. Let
this subside so that the breath gradually lengthens; conversely, lengthen the breath
gradually and repose will grow.
There should be no strain in any breath rhythm or in holding the breath. At the
slightest sense of effort or strain at once bring the breath to a hatt and try again.
Strain indicates lack of repose and no breath rythm or hold can work in this state.
As a preliminary to all breathing, relax the throat muscles and the sphincta
muscles.
Only Nos 5, 6, 7, 11 and 12 above can be done in a sitting position and in
public areas. The eyes should be closed except optionally in Nos 5and 12.
At the slightest dizziness or tingling of the hands any strong rhythm should be
suspended. In any case no strong rhythm should exceed ten in number.

CHRISSY

MAURICE
DATE:
TWO PAGES ONLY
HEREWITH (PAGE 2) OXYGENESIS PRACTICE SHEET:
You will see that I have ticked Nos 6,8,11.
No.6: i) This will of course, for your purposes, have the light incorporated. It is difficult to
keep to the hold of sixteen pulse beats ifyou are applying the light to a specific subject, SO
you must allow a certain flexibility here, I mean you may overrun the sixteen beats, which is
all right; ii) Since nothing is achieved by the breath without repose it is useful to do three or
four compact breaths without thel light at the beginning. This calms the nervous system; iii)
We are agreed that no will is involved here since will equals tension, which removes all
efficacy. Walk into the stable with the unspoken intention I am going to ride this horse
right now' and you run the risk of creating fear and possible resistance. Walk in with the
intention Iam going to make a fuss oft my lovely horse' and acceptance will be
demonstrated; iv) Will, however, may become surreptitiously involved by imposing too
many runs (I'm going to damnwell make a round 100). That is, change and interchange the
subjects to maintain lightness oftouch.
No.8: You will remember what a thoracic run is, i.e. you are breathing into the thoracic or
upper area SO that the chest will rise for the inbreath while the abdomen drops. The upper
curve ofthe inbreath, that is when the inbreath seems to rise to the top ofthe breath and at
once become outbreath, is the moment when you need to put your question, and again the
matter of the will has to be studied and comes into play if you retain the question. You
must ask the question again and again, ifyou feel it necessary, by repeated breaths, but it
must always bei in the nature of throwing something away, and above all the question is
dropped from the mind the moment the runs cease. The answer will be provided at once, in
the course ofa few moments or minutes or in the course ofthe day. You may test the
sureness ofthe source when you forget something and need to remember it, I mean outside
the context ofbreath runs. Ifyou simply put the question 'up' and leave it, the answer will
come, even in a dream. By now you will see what an enemy the will is in the matter ofyour
abdunadnt physiological archives, but it must be kept alive for all navigational purposes. In
breath runs we are not trying to navigate the habitat. I want to speak to you some time
about the new things that are likely to happen to the way you work, and have already (I
think) started to happen. You require a certain new vigilance. This is to do with work not in
the sense of professional knowhow.
No.11: This is most important for you, in keeping alive a state of newi ideas and
approaches, SO that the oppressive cloud of drudgery doesn't conceal them. You may
drudge but this breath frees you from its effects. You rise into the light and seat yourself
there and bask in it, during the hold of sixteen pulse beats of course. A minimum of four
runs.

Some points about Maurice Rowdon's Oxygenesis
Peace of mind is hardly important. We must almost think of it as a
luxury. But a state of peace which is constant even when
unconscious, even in panic and turmoil-this is surely an important
prize. Oxygenesis, without effort or words, plants it in the organism.
For instance, with a few breaths the person who has experienced
Oxygenesis can feel a sense of belonging even in a place where he
or she is feeling acutely alone.
Athletes record a state of meditational calm in the brain while at
the height of effort. Here are the two selves that Oxygenesis brings
into play, the performer and the motor control', namely the trained
automatic part. Our breathe is automatic' but it has been
automated wrong. That is a specific biological problem in the
human and he will get out of it only by having a very special
experience or by taking steps to have that experience.
Contrary to popular fallacy it is economy of breath not deep'
breathing that is the goal. We breathe too much-this is an
emergency measure to handle states which alarm the organism,
i.e. we haven'tequipped ourselves with the right motor control.
Oxygenesis is a voyage of discovery in a territory that has never
before been charted. There are astonishing new facts. For
instance, the goal of all breathing is non-breathing (we are neither
breathing nor holding the breath). This is a state of breath
metabolisation.
People often say I feel I have my own face now' or I belong to
myself after doing Oxygenesis. This is because the body's fuelling
system has hitherto been out of synch, with the breath in
emergency. mode! Unaccountable feelings of exhilaration whatever
the circumstances are one of the oxygenetic surprises.
The cell called the mitochondria, present in most human cells, is
sometimes called the building brick' of the body or the
evolutionary cell. - It speaks a language which our bodies cannot
decode. Itis in' charge of the oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange.
When this exchange is in a state of excellence SO are our powers
of performance.
This is because our cells are informed with our own particular and
individual intelligence. But our discipline since birth is to live as if
our individuality lay in the head, the thought, the imagination, the T.
It is astonishing to discover that we have at our command an
intelligence assembly custom-built for ourselves.

Dear Elsa Mcalonan:
l'm told you're temporarily overseeing the health features and - I
want to try and interest you in Oxygenesis, a breath system I devised
in 1981 and which I shall be introducing to the UK from this spring as
part of the medical director's team at the Hale Clinic.
lenclose some background both about me and the system. My
clientele hitherto has been predominantly professional.
What I would suggest if this interests you is that I give you one
or more sessions at the Hale, since of course only tasting is believing.
And it's fun not formidable.
Many thanks for your attention.
Yours sincerely

principles. While a great deal is known today about
the metabolism of oxygen, and various aspects of the
breath, little has been done either by/medical scienee ndung
or oriental breath-teachers to analyse the key role of
the thoracic and abdominal muscles in the determination
of breath.
Salpls Qlnl
Oxygenesis begins with the examination of the
relationship between the intercostal and abdominal muscles.
Only after flexibility of response has been obtained
(between arousal or sympathetic energy produced by thoracic
breathing of varying kinds and autonomic or parasympathetic
energy produced by abdominal rhythms) can the breath be
'activated' from its usually passive bauareariad role.
'Proper' breathing, in Oxygenesis, means 'the right breath
for the right moment'. It is possible that the bulk of
western mankind have the-wrong breath, that is, the least
efficient one for the requitèments of the organism at any
given time, mse epeciiog X Are gersu &trmls dy fo axyge
This is the reason, according to Oxygenesis, why
hospitals are taking in an increasing number of hyperventil-
ation cases, especially among young people, who complain
that their breath simply ceases at times, with ensuing
panic. The medical solution is, in most cases, to invite
the patient to breathe back into his lungs his own rejected
carbon dioxide, whereas, in Oxygenesis, it is only necessary
to reduce the panic by engaging the right muscles.
Recent-
ly a woman in hyperventilatory panic was told by a hospital
worker over the phone to breathe into a paper bag, and she
died.
Many aspects of the breath perplex hospital practititioners
unnecessarily for the simple reason that no norm of breath
has been established by medical science.
Quite erroneously
the Pulmonary Association teaches that the breath 'comes
naturally'.
Practitioners are puzzled by sleep apnoea which they
frequently observe in"their patients. The question to be
asked, according to Oxygenesis, is whether the apnoea takes
place at the top of the inhale or the bottom of the exhale.
If the former, there is a traumatic background, if the
latter the effects are restful and beneficial unless the
pause is unusually prolonged.
For retention at the top
of the inhale is harmful when involuntary, but beneficial
when volur tary (i.e. in the form of anlexercisd).

Oxygenesis brings the mind by gentle degrees to an
awareness of its own nature.
We specialize in a
revolutionary non-creative process which activates us to
receive not invent information.
This requires the least, not
the most effort, which is why it combines So well with a
holiday. And the Mistral gives us the best air in Europe.
Maurice Rowdon has taught his breath system for many
years in Northern California. He has published over a dozen
books and his booklet Breathtaking Moments describes how
Oxygenesis works physiologically.
Ever since he got his Oxford MA in Philosophy he has
devoted much time to examining the way our minds work.
"Thinking is automatic and conditioned.
The moment we
perceive something our thoughts have been decided for us.
The sense of freedom we get when we speak our thoughts is the
pleasure of responding to a reflex, just as birds take joy in
the movement of their wings. 1
It is the reflexes hidden in the way we see, hear, smell,
feel that decide our thoughts before we speak. We may be
astonished to discover that some of these believe in
pollution, in the erosion of animal life, in the poisoning of
our food sources and not least in our own unhappiness.
But we need reflexes like air.
They work our eyelids
and the bellows we call breathing and the reticular system at
the base of our brain which wakes us in danger.
These are
good reflexes but those we find lodged in our perceptions fail
to work to our benefit.
Oxygenesis takes us on a journey that provides a wholly
new picture of life, like the promise of a new civilization.
"A free intelligence service is available to us every
moment.
It not only designs and works our glands, neurons
etc but decides on the birth and death of each consciousness.
This very intelligence is willing to impart new designs to
those who have the keys of entry.'

The Fall ofHumans
is that it is SO cheerful, SO lightly written, SO encouraging about the
human, above all SO understanding ofhim and her, how he and she got
there, how he and she were obliged (by themselves) to get there---that I
feel it was written for me, and chose its own style, and I had little to do
with it.
Doubly strange, this, in a history of the most viciously and unrelentingly
cruel animal that ever was known.

After all, someone has to speak up---
ask what we're going to do with
the last 5-1-years of life vouchsafed
to us, assuming that this is the truth
but it is better to believe the worst
news, not the best, just as it is in
battle: ifyou suspect the enemy, in
this case nature, has made silent and
carefully camouflaged preparations to
launch a shattering and final attack on
you you had better believe it. You can
scorn the intelligence-report as
asinine but you will be a worse ass
not to act on it.
And someone has to offer an alternative to yet another war, this time a
defensive one against our very environment. Someone has to offer another
personality, another presence.
After all, it is SO easy to cease being human, namely a creature who made
constant war on his surroundings and the other animals therein, and even tried
again and again to decimate himselfwith increasing. fury until from the
handfuls ofmen killed and maimed in the mediaeval wars the figure went up to
the positively mad figure of millions upon millions in our own day.
And this the human called an evolution'?
What kind ofanimal is it that has even lost the key to its own mating habits,
which have completely gone off the moorings (and started to go at least two
centuries ago), no longer taking account oft the birth of children, much less of
that chrysalis formerly called 'the family'.
Even Christendom, despite its deadly mediaeval "intellectuabilitas' (i.e.
everything in life including God' must be passed through the poisonous sieve
Page 211
I wrote like mad, my commissions in the day and my original work in the
evening, and I was as healthy as a sapling. And it was all a fakery, andi knew
The books however sincere and sometimes inspired were saying by their very
appearance on the market that all was well with the world, and I think we
knew, deep inside, that it wasn't.
So we were creating something that was dead before it started because it was
telling a falsehood--that the world was a place for books and thought and
frescoes and basilicas and play productions and films and television projects,
and itwasn'ttrue,and it didn't feel true, it felt as if everything we did was an
act ofnostalgiaj for a world that had long since gone.
We must have known that this world we have today had already started (which
indeed it had). But we predicted nothing. To some degree we foresaw the world
Inty 5 U 5
we have now but only in a mild surface way. I said in ône bookthat'g green
parties would come into being one day, political parties based entirely on the
state of the habitat---and the Times Literary Supplement, in an otherwise
fulsome review, singled this out as the only trace in my writing of'crank'
thinking.
HITLER'S
SHOWBIZ
DIARIES
(1968-1978) Ikept a diary of those endless media transactions in which
Hitler seemed SO uncannily the spirit within them. Projects started in talk
and the talk sometimes ended in a play or a television programme or a
film but it wasn't necessarily you who executed it, though your talk had
brought it into being.
For every drop of action the gate-toll was days and days of meeting and
jabbering. It was as if we were filling the air with more and more air
because we were doomed by the future and knew it, which made us do it
even more.
And we had to remember that whatever we did actually get to do--
television or film or play---might have been talked into being by others
unknown to us, viz. the American producer who asked me to overhaul a
film-script he described as 'a cwt. of shit in a 5 lb. bag', though he
didn'te even look at my version and shot the 5.lb bag.
The strange thing about
WHY WE WRECKED THE HABITAT 2006
Page 212
PHOTO (me and Guglielmo)
This picture was taken by the closest friend
of my life in the silent wooded hills close to
Mill Valley in N. California.
So who exactly is the human?
In the Eighties I always used to characterise him as The Animal That said It
Wasn't. In every ghastly short-lived civilisation we know about, with the
exception ofEgypt, we hear of animals being 'sacrificed' SO that the
movements of their entrails would show what the heavens or gods had it store
for us. Thesdiote emperor Julian (*the Apostate') burned SO many sacrificial
animials that any place he went was almost always black with smoke.
The only civilisations we hear of that didn't make war on neighbours as the
basis oftheir survival succumbed quickly to invasion. The ancient Greeks put
it with their usual sang-froid: 'war is to get what you haven't got and want. 9
There were about 50.000 ancient Greeks and they had a slave population of the
same size. As they treated animals SO they treated humans. That was and is
always the case.
But from the stories the human tells us about himself ---how wise he is and
how far beyond all other animals he is in his prowess--you would think that
the earth and skies and seas had come into existence for his delectation alone.
And indeed that is not only what most civilisations we know about believed: it
is what the majority ofl humans today think too, without question, the less
educated they are.
Surely the sooner we disinherit this human the better, not just because his
stories about himself are SO damned silly but because he has landed us in the
worst calamity that has ever befallen the planet.
If we wish to know the human we must study not his silly stories about himself
(*history') but his adaptations and mutations--And-this-is-what-havve.done.
And this is precisely what I have done over very many years. I took a degree in
history and felt that I hadn't got myself anywhere as a person. So I dedicated
myself over the next three years, for my second degree, to the misery of
philosophy, which nevertheless taught me how to think.
And once I had learned to think I at once found 'history' a tale told by an idiot.
REVIEWS of some of my books:
Just look at them! And all about me . At that time I was 'represented' by one of
the-faney 'top' agencies of the time and every generous commission that came
my way seemed to prove that I was alive and thriving.

The advantage of standing on your head, that is upside-down, is that when you
are standing on your feet, namely the right side up, you are not SO sure how
'right' this right side up is. You are prepared, that is, to see that right side up as
dubious, and sometimes downright wrong. *
*No one with high blood pressure, not to say essential hypertension, should
attempt any inverted position ofthis kind.

The planet is under certain sentence of death. We.
organised that death. And we are every moment
making it worse. But we could not survive without
that death---we must use our cars mustn'twe?
switch on the light? fly in planes? are we to cease
using the internet? And these things are the greatest
carbon creators.
N Li
So we are choking to death and we can only survive if we continue this way.
And of all helpless statements this must be surely be the most helpless ever
uttered.
We continue to condemn the skies and soils and seas and all animal life (and of
course our own) to certain death but we MUST have it SO in order to get
through the lasf5-10-years that are said to be available to us.
Yet we mustn't write ourselves off as fools. The fact is that we simply cannot
experience these facts, only think about them. It is our nervous systems that
guide us and determine every second of our lives, and these systems keep
telling us that things are really all right. Our glands, our bloodstream, our
nerves and our digestive and breathing apparatus MUST go on saying what
they have been saying for millions ofyears, namely that THE HABITAT IS
STILL THERE INTACT.
So the warnings we get about the dire effects of unfiltered sunlight, which have
been blared at us from huge posters for at least a decade (the Australian one
went 'FRY NOW PAY LATER'), go no deeper than any thinking does. It is
our nervous system that decide on what is true for us. While the sun continues
to warm and cheer us up it's the same old sun we always knew. It's a lie butfor
our skins it's the truth.
And we want these last-EEO years that remain to us because (you never know)
we might get a break. It will have to be a miracle but miracles happen don't
they?
Do we want to go on being this 'human', , a creature which doesn't know what
moves it and cannot control what it moves?

WHY WE WRECKED THE PLANET 2006
The Fall of Humans
Why the fall of humans? And what has it got to do with our wrecking the
planet, unless I am stating the obvious---that all of us are for the high jump, and
very soon, which we all know?
Above all, what has the fall ofhumans got to do with finding out who I am?
But first let me introduce myself.
PHOTO ONE
In this photo my legs are comfortably bent SO that my back
is perfectly arched and at ease. Thus my trunk tends'to
protrude.
PHOTOTWO
Here my legs are high
but not straight, SO that
the line of my trunk is
straighter and drawn in.
IfI straightened my legs
I would simply achieve
the maximum flow of
blood to my head,
which would be of
limited use, i.e.
relaxation would be
difficult for long.

ofthe explainable), was enough of a civilisation to see that unless you made the
family, namely the containment of mating habits, the key to and core of your
social system it would go the devil.
Here we draw nearer to an understanding of my title WHY WE WRECKED
THE PLANET, which shows in detail that it was on behalf of a deeply ardent
and well-meaning and inspired plan to convert the whole world to Christianity
in the interests of that world. For whatever we do, whatever we think, is always
in terms ofthe religion we have been brought up in, whether we stay close to
that religion or scorn it or abandon it. Religion, whether we like it or not, is the
former and framer of minds, and those minds can never throw it off.
Bad news for atheists? Not at all. My book points out that Christian thought
plantèd the idea of atheism, i.e. there is no God', for the first time in the
history of religions. And that chilling idea that we are alone came---let us hold
our breath to receive the news---from over-devoutness to a God becoming ever
moré remote, until He had no more interest in human affairs than a meteor
flashing dead in the sky. Wriggle out ofyour religion as you will but it will
catch you by the tail and hold you all the harder.

I worked extensively in the theatre (my play agent is
now Milcheline Steinberg), writing and sometimes
directing and producing my work. I worked for BBC
television in a 50-minute Omnibus called The Fall of
Venice and based on my book of that name---I scripted
the film and fixed' it production-wise on-site in
Venice. Ken Russell çame to one of my plays, Mahler,
and fell in love with.it, to the extent of doing a 1
film on the basis of one of its,scenes and thus
preventing Joe Lowsie and I making it. God forgive
him. I now see Lowsie and myself asisilly plodders
next to this demon who nevér paid a cent to anyone if
he could help it. He came to me in the first place
and said let me just film your play and the idiot in
me, always forward, said no I want to do a script.
This was all before 1980 (as you say, any publisher
can delve into it in a trice---by going to Amazon or
to my. name through Google). At the end of that year I
went to California, intent on revolutionising my
ideas and beginning my research into the subject of
who is the human? that would involve the biggest
publishing project of my life and is only now ready
(see below).
Recent publishing submissions
Last year I contacted Faber and Faber with. a book on
WW2 and Julian Loose responded at once. Within ten
days he had read the whole and suggested a meeting.
When we met he started off by asking a) would I work
with them on the ms. to perfect it? and b) would I
write a sequel about the pre-war years? I said yes to
the first and a maybe to the second.
We then began 7 months of work on the script, which
engaged the warm interest also of the book production
manager Gavin Cargill. The blurb seemed to be
prepared, we discussed the use of a photo montage for
the jacket, all seemed to be at the ready when---the
resti of the board said no. Julian was utterly
devastated---more important/,pezhaps he expressed-
'complete bafflement'.

Religions may: seem very different from each other. The Chinese and the Chaldean, the
Minoan and the Egyptian, they all talk a different language-sometimes it is a stark
difference, sometimes a close similarity, as in what we now call 'the middle East.'
Not for nothing did the Kabbalah, the
Jewish *book of magic', as it is frequently
and quite mistakenly called, 'conjure'
angels from the silences so that the
silences began to speak and above all care
for humans in the form of these spirit
human presences in the sky.
Indeed, the Kabbalah was one of the
deepest influences on Christian thinkers.
The marvellous conversations between the
Jews, the Christians and the Arabs were
wrecked by Isabella and Ferdinand of
Spain who feared for the integrity of
Christian doctrine. Their reckless act of
simply moved the divine conversations to
Italy, where the Medici family took them
up as the source of the New Thought or
Rebirth or Renascence'.
But Christianity remained disabled at the
heart. Discord was its theme, leading to a
refinement through the centuries of lethal
weapons unprecedented in any other
civilisation we know of. This was the
legacy from Isabella and Ferdinand.
But what is this?
A special announcement.
Suddenly this quaint thing we call *knowledge' and carry about with us, and 'learn',
made me ask a question: What is it we have to learn and other animals don't? And
what exactly is learning?'
I thought ofhow we learn to drive a car. Ifwe had to think up every move of the hands
and feet when we drove we would never be able to manage it.
Driving must become automatic. We must be able to talk while driving, listen to the
radio, conversations, lose ourselves in a daydream, particularly if wel know the road
well. We frequently end our journey without the smallest remembrance ofit.
Do we see now why we call other animals 'automatic?
But, much more significant, do we see that we humans strive at all times to become the
animals we say we ceased to be?
Page 223
So it is with all human knowledge whatever. At school and university we must absorb
large areas ofwhat we call facts, meaning, as Einstein said, what thinking has brought
into being (he said, First the theory, then the facts").
And what is this?
Another mirror?
Yet another image the human has of himself?
This one dies many decades before his due biological span.
He succumbs to death by submitting himself to the idea of an irrevocable decay that sets
into thel body a socially agreed number of years.
This is called old age.
Do we need old age? Do we know how to avoid it? Will this story told by witches round a
caldron reach out and get us too?
The doctor and consultant, with their Theory ofDecay, will gladly help yon to your
early demise. Complain ofyour leg hurting after exercise and the answer will come pat
as a hiccup, *You must remember this is a 34-year-old leg, you aren't twenty any more,
you know.'
And what is this?
YET ANOTHER HUMAN?
This one can't breathe. Non-breathing goes with old age.
No one can tell when the human lost the natural breath but in over 20 years of being a
Breath Guide I have found only two people, a man and woman, who had an inborn
peaceful breath, both of them born and brought up within the sonnd of the wash of the
sea, he on the Aegean, sbe on the Adriatic.
Gasping unfiltered air makes for a gasping life.
There are some people, happily very few, who breathe through the mouth and whose
lungs therefore suffer from receiving air anfiltered by thei intricate cooling and
cleansing system ofthe double-barrelled nose.
There are others who breathe, as the doctors say, paradoxically." Thati is they pull airi in
through the thoracic or upper-lnng area, leaving the abdomen to lead a life ofi its own.
This creates a constant state of alarm. He or she will often debate fearfully before
entering a café alone.
Page 224
And there are those who breathe only by means of the abdominal muscles. This means
that their emergency system (for running, strong emotion, nervous tension, performance
in any field whatever) isn't strong, which early favours the. sedentary or home life.

our nervous systems must go on being animal, for dear life. It must tell us its
reassuring story whatever the state of the earth, the constellation. Our glands,
bloodstream, nerves, our digestive and breathing apparatus must go on saying
what they have been saying for millions of years, namely that the habitat is
still there intact and everything is all right.
Warnings the dire effects of unfiltered sunlight, which have been blared at us

our nervous system that decide on what is true while the sun is shining and

Our nervous systems tell us lies and must do so and they keep us out of living a

you have both done, and how you have drawn from theold-Mediterranean to
makcyourhermitage, and why the back of the houselooks: ssolike Grantchester
and the vicarage clock is still set at:a quarter to three andithere is still honey
for tea, because England was made by the Mediterrean too. No, you are too
precious to lose, both of you. And no, Dachiell wasn't anhoyèd or angry or
irritated with you for being SO good as to call herabout thè present Canadian
incumbents, Iwas there in the sitting room at the time you and she talked and
Ican be a witness of that. It was actually a.time when she wa's telling me how
you paint and how she would love to see whatyou are doing, so the skies were
quite clear from that point of view. She was so devastated by.your fax, which
fortunately for the full moon but not for us all came only as the first page, and
she was unwise enough, but then I warned her beforéhand, to reply ifi kind.
You must agree however that it is jolly and fun to be unwise from timë to: time
and thank god women haven't been buggered up completelyyet by this epoch
and society and can be as unwise as men. we are stililooking forward to your
visitand to coming down and pickingyou ups I've just Survived'a deàdline which
was yesterday afternoon, how it all got donei don't khow but thetè itis, âs my
mother used to say.

Dearest Dunkie: it makes my head quite dizzy just to read all the things you're
doing so what it must be for you I do not know. I wonder what opera you are
seeing and why is Cathie going in jog outfit? Last night I slept wonderfully, also
gave myself more air, today a good quiet day where all the schedule fitted and
having started early continued early and it is only twenty past nine now. The rain
comes in heavy avalanche showers than holds up and if you are quick you
seize a walk then. Had a baked potato and poached eggs tonight, it was
organic the potato but not-as good as the ones you get down the road but -
might just have overcooked it.,l had this with cucumber. I am in that sort of
mood this evening, very down to what you eat and where did I leave the
scissors sort of thing, very drowsy. I think the thermograph sounds a dream and
hope you come back well supplied with all sorts of other medical results and
tests. 1 call Voytec and he switches it to message every time, I I am talking to
Tim tomorrow, I believe he gets fed up with him too but I tell you one thing
Voytec will get it done in his time and nobody else's. I may go to Joan and
Shura's for a visit Saturday but haven't told them yet as l'm not sure. Chrissy
called up this morning and says Henri is turning inner and inner and inner.
Meanwhile people are behaving like lunatics in C's life too. She does nothing
but work ever. How dreary can this letter get, iflgo on trying I shall know. Isn't it
marvellous and unheard that people go on living their lives and their lives are
seriously to be led as they are whether all fun or not, I mean like where you are.
Does that sentence make sense? I I am reading in my leisure moments
Thackeray and Bernard Shaw. Lots of love and hugs and I I hope I shall be better
awake when I talk toyou tomorrow, a whole bunch of grapes was right. Hugs
and kisses M.

And we want these last 5-10 years that remain to us because (you never know)
we might get a break. It will have to be a miracle but miracles happen don't
they?
Do we want to go on being this 'human' , a creature which doesn'tl know what
moves it and cannot control what it moves?

Ifwe wish to know the human we must study not his stories about himself, not
his 'history', > but his adaptations and mutations. And this is what I have tried
to do over the many years.
PHOTO (me and Guglielmo)
This picture was taken by the closest friend
of my life in the wooded hills close to Mill
Valley in N. California.
In the Eighties I used to characterise the human as The Animal That said It
Wasn't. In every short-lived civilisation we know about, including Egypt, we
hear of animals being sacrificed' SO that the movements of their entrails would
show what the heavens or gods had in store for us. The idiot emperor Julian
('the Apostate') burned so many sacrificial animals that any place he visited
was black with smoke.
