Part One: Introduction
One of the problems faced by the Ormus community is that it appears that many of the seekers do not know what they are seeking.  They sort of stumble upon Ormus or White Powder of Gold (WPG) sites and find it intriguing.   But then again many are very probably subconsciously led to the sites.  We ignored the site (sic: SubtleEnergies.com) four times before actually reading the contents of the site.   
  
For the record, the ancients who began this Great Work were attempting to contact higher intelligence.  IE communicate with God or some all knowing entity.  They wanted knowledge and perhaps guidance on how to better rule their people.  And, of course, they seemed to want longer and healthier lives. 
  
Most in ancient times given the WPG were rulers and high priests etc.  They did all they could to learn about life, astronomy, sciences and theology.   However, they did not want to share their abundance of this knowledge with their governed masses.   Their apparent intent was to serve their personal ego and maintain control and let the mass of mankind only know enough to enable them to serve.  Admittedly the masses at the time were very poorly educated and perhaps would not have accepted the concepts. 
  
Moses and later the Essenes hoped to bring advanced enlightenment, prosperity, and improved health to mankind in general.   As it went and still goes, most people are not willing to do the GREAT WORK (GW) that is necessary to accomplish the task of opening up their consciousness to the vastness of the infinite knowledge surrounding us all. 
  
I will share, that during the 80's I experienced such an intersection between the infinite and myself that I wound up in psychological care for over a month.  I was not fully aware of what I was doing and paid dearly for it.  It took me over a year to regain my composure and deal with what had happened to me.   I think this is why the old masters took on apprentices and worked with them for long periods of time so the knowledge obtained would be understood and more easily assimilated if and when the initiate made contact with the higher mind.    If one is not ready the experience could be terminal! 
  
Ormus, ORMES etc are only tools in the GW.   Once one begins questioning the established paradigms of our modern societies the GW has begun.  Each of us are on a path seeking knowledge and understanding of our world and beyond.  And the trail forward is not always easy.    
  
Those who are only in the Ormus community to make money and those who consume hoping to get High or attain some instant insight will be disappointed.   It took years and massive doses of the pure WPG to enable the old ones to gain some benefit.   Our minimal efforts set us upon a path and if we continue to seek then we will eventually obtain answers to some of our personal needs.   
  
I learned one very important lesson when I connected.   We are not meant to live in two dimensions.   To try to do so one will fail at both!   However, to my satisfaction, the experience  reinforced my knowledge that the next phase in our evolution is assured and each of us is cared for and helped in ways that we are seldom aware are happening. 

Ormus then is connected to Religion and in many ways to Politics.  When teaching in industry for over four decades and over fifteen thousand students from all over the world I found three things that will instantly kill the attitude of learning in a classroom situation.   I called them RPM.   Religion, Politics, and Money.    I banned all discussions of these subjects in my classes 

Further, many in the community seem to be mostly interested in the Money aspect.   

So once again, it is a difficult position as a moderator attempting to balance the definitions of ORMES, Ormus, and M State.  All three distractions’ RPM’s are in full force like logs that hinder moderating efforts. 
  
Those with a pure heart seeking the GREAT WORK in their personal lives will benefit from the substances.   Those whose ego will not let them see may eventually become aware of the Divine in all things and slowly begin the GREAT WORK on themselves.   
  
Lastly, please keep in mind that the GREAT WORK is a path.  Not a goal.   Each new thing and concept we obtain leads to yet more questions and so on indefinitely  whether in this life or beyond. 
  
Steinbeck wrote an award winning novel called "Death of a salesman."   The most deserving concept in the very dull novel is the one concept that is so obscure that most miss it.  I did and had to be told.   In an early chapter in the book the salesman says something like "OK, I have reached the tops of the sales quota.  That is good enough!"    So when I was asked when did the sales man die I answered "the last chapter."  Wrong the master said,” The salesman died when he stopped living early in the book."   His body simply stopped breathing in the last chapter. 
  
So there you have it.  The Ormus substances enhance our lives, help keep us well, and in time and continued use may assist some in communicating with those who have gone before us.   But we are supposed to be here on Earth and what we do here is important.  As we experience life and make decisions we add to the totality of the universal experience.   And some insignificant thing we may say or learn could easily be the key to even greater knowledge far beyond our wildest dreams! 
  
So stay interested in living life to the fullest extent possible. Live, Love and Learn.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: MINERAL AND OTHER SUPPLEMENTS
There are those who use Ormus in plants, animals and themselves.  This is done 100% at their own risk.  The individual chooses how much they use and there is nothing implied or guaranteed regarding Ormus.  It is up to you alone, an individual, to think seriously about all the benefits of good nutrition and any needed supplements.  The people who use Ormus are part of their own ongoing personal research. 

Personal research observation over time is scientific research.  We have 25 years of observation from 1,000’s who globally used Ormus versus no one I know of filing a complaint that Ormus “hurt me”.  Comments include feeling better; so much that Ormus is forgotten to be taken.  Another comment is that he had stints put in 25 year ago that are still just fine while four others who had stints then needed to be replaced after 5-6 years. 

Folks who have taken Ormus have also had colds, flu, aches, pains.  An added comment was that a lady had an anaerobic bug and Ormus didn’t touch it.  Ormus didn’t cure any disease, if a disease cured without medical treatment, the body won over the disease.  Cancer is physical malfunction. Fibromyalgia is a physical malfunction.   

An Ormus investigator, doing his own personal ongoing research, explained that Ormus fuels the light body; the light body housed in us drives the physical body.  He understands it to be that if the light body is too powerful, the physical body can be overpowered (burn out the physical) and that is why he doesn’t want to ingest large amounts or excessive amounts over a long period.   He added: Easy does it and pay attention to what your body says to you.   Pay attention to how you feel and keep a note book if you cannot remember.   Simple notes can help you more fully understand if the supplement is helping or hindering.  As we get a bit older this is even more important because we often have much more on our minds and may not recall just how one felt two days ago in the early am. 

The hydroxide form of the mineral is more bioavailable and the most common Ormus precipitate contains mineral-hydroxides.  These are in parts per million or parts per billion –not very much; you would need, for example, a dump truck of horsetail plants to get 1 oz of gold. 

However you will be hard pressed to find clinical studies on Essential minerals, macro or micro.  This is understandable since there are definite variables in mineral absorption, its storage and its excretion; variance with age, sex, health, physiological activity, dietary components, pregnancy, lactation, individual genetics, processing or lack of processing of food and bioavailability of the mineral from the diet.  Also availability of minerals in the soil, hence the food itself is not reviewed.  The government doesn’t get involved much since minerals are not classified as food or drug. The subcommittee of the National Research Council (US) tasked with calculating mineral recommended Daily Allowance has recorded that RDA amounts are a value judgment based on reasonable assumptions (sic: rather than a scientific determination) such as in healthy people there are some mineral stores in the body and further it assumes what may be the size of these stores needed and used as a reserve against periods of negative mineral balance.  These variances cause difficulty in estimating their RDA requirement.  Also noted is that a number of minerals lack analysis methods to diagnose their status in the body. 
 
A catch 22 is that if not enough minerals are in the body, life force is affected, diminished, and if too much, the physical body can be negatively affected.  Anything too much is not good; now there are reports that too much orange juice causes melanoma, and in the young too much vitamin C can precipitate heart attack.  Another person commented that too much vitamin B-12 and “you have to peel me off the ceiling” (too much excitatory energy).  So, Ormus is no different than any other supplement. 
  
Consequently the responsibility for any use of Ormus substances remains with you alone, an individual, to think seriously about all the benefits of good nutrition and any needed supplements.  The book Ormus Modern Day Alchemy addresses your personal responsibility in this area:

“Ormus used as supplements are for research and experimental purposes only and therefore there are no specific “dosages” to state. I can tell you what I/others use, or have heard of being used, on plants/agriculture, animals and ourselves. The opinions are believed to be accurate and the information sound based on the best judgment available. 
The following statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration nor are they intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. Further, if there are choices made in determining how to use Ormus for plants/agriculture, animals and ourselves, make those decisions based on conservative thinking.” 

Since supplementing with Ormus often results in noticeable effect as life continues we caution that Ormus is a personal journey ---And not one taken lightly.

Part Two: Ormus, Yourself and the Great Work
A study of Ormus, Yourself and the Great Work begins with a look at the DNA contained in your own physical body.  Our DNA (genetic code) is an extraordinarily complex material that affects every cell.  It determines everything from the smallest hairs to the brain; our most complex organ.   

Life-giving DNA with its sets of instruction depends on trace minerals to maintain its own integrity and copy itself properly. While the turnover of cells in the human body take up to seven years, each new cell has to copy the one being replaced and the body makes about 20 million new cells a day.   As would be expected when we are short of trace mineral building blocks the copies have issues.  There are currently sixty-four recorded trace minerals needed for each and every copy of our DNA.  Each of those minerals provides a specific and vital function in maintaining an optimally engaged physical body.  Trace minerals then are quite literally: building blocks of DNA. 

Dr Richard Olree a leading specialist in genetics and their effect on DNA, has studied the components of the DNA spiral and trace minerals tied to it.  Many lectures on the topic have been given.  Available online is a DVD of his 2017 presentation “Minerals and the Human Brain” during the Acres USA Conference.  Dr Olree’s work is encapsulated in the landmark book “Minerals for the Genetic Code” by Charles Walters  

ORMUS MINERALS 
While many references speak to mineral deficiency in our foods the great news is that Ormus collected from seawater, or reconstituted sea made from sea salt, is a mineral supplement in an easy to absorb ionic form!  (Ormus prepared by pharmacist Chris Emmons at EmmonsEssentialEssence.com).  Ormus can also be collected from soil, plant and metal. 

Ormus is also thought to carry the M State (metaphysical state) of minerals described as a unique spirit, an elemental life force, within the structure of minerals.  M State is a farfetched extreme reach metaphysical belief of a spiritual connection with the ALL (source) possibly through the mechanism of enhanced nourishment of DNA; a God given material that builds and maintains us.   
The case for this connection is made because DNA contains minerals.  Indeed minerals compose about 4% of the body –approximately 5 pounds. Beneficial change after consuming Ormus nutritional minerals includes measurable increases in Aura images and brain scans of the left and right hemisphere.  Most report they feel better after Ormus. 

FOUR ASPECTS of HUMAN 
We recognize our physical body.  However, three other vitally important aspects of human existence are also at play. These are the mental, emotional and spiritual portions of ourselves.  It is these areas that filter every experience in a person’s life, every image that is seen, every word that is heard and every emotion that is felt. These are the aspects within us which contain our own inner perceptions and therefore rule our responses or action.   

Because Ormus is potent nutrition that supports the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of each individual it has been correctly stated that Ormus causes you to be more of who and what you are.  In summary: More of your Way of Being. 

WAYS of BEING 
There are hundreds of Ways of being.  Each and every one of us mentally chooses, consciously or otherwise how we will BE as life presents itself to us.      

Examples of Ways of Being include being: 
Thorough 
Light-hearted 
Peacekeeper

Ways of being is a topic unto itself.  Ormus nutrition feeds us and our way of being just as fuel in a car feeds a running engine. Where you drive that car or more central where you drive your life is both important and totally up to you.  

Knowledge about ways of being is not taught in society.  In the not too distant past Googling "Ways of Being" would show sites that listed Ways of Being column after column.  Those sites no longer come up.  I think the internet information monitors may not want folks to know about ways of being –because ways of being can be mentally chosen.  They prefer sheep who just follow their Feelings --at that moment.  While this way of being leads to easily programmed (manipulated) individuals it does not lead to a personally workable life…. stable.  Individuals living a more workable, stable life are those less controlled by others or outside forces. 

CHOOSING WAY of BEING  
Before harnessing your way of being it was first necessary to explain that such a thing exists.   

While there are hundreds of ways of being it is very important to understand that every happening or occurrence causes a different response based on how we Be at that time!!!  For example my way of being, thoroughness has me writing for the past X hours and still ticking.  (haha).  Being able to laugh at these hours spent displays a second way of being: light-heartedness.   

Your perceptions of each life experience is naturally affected and internally judged based on your own cumulative life experiences and education however it becomes your own chosen way of being Today that is at the heart of your perceptions. 

Some believe we are also born with a degree of pre-programmed responses in our DNA but that we can choose to change our basic DNA reactions as we live and learn. 

Changing your perception is as simple as saying “Today I choose to be (decide a way of being)”: " Landmark Education" founded by Werner Erhard explains that up to three ways of being can be chosen at a time but you may want to start with one or two.  

SYNOPSIS: WAY of BEING DURING LIFE 
Way of Being —> Doing actions —> Experiencing results in our life ---pleasant or unpleasant  . . .—> Evaluating the experience and consciously choosing how you will proceed. 

Landmark Education explains: "We are playing a sort of game called life. The stakes appear to be the highest imaginable — physical death.   But we forget that we are playing a game and that we invented the rules." 
   
While the rules of our game of life may be encoded into our DNA at birth and unknowingly imprinted from the Matrix that we live within, we have the ability, as we grow and learn, to change our Way of Being and the apparent rules by which our individual game was originally founded. 

A side note about death as has been described in this way: While unavoidable, death is in reality a rebirth into a new realm into which we take our cumulative life experiences.  And the game continues. 

THE GREAT WORK 
Ormus is believed to provide high quality and energetic nutrition to fuel your entire body right down to your DNA level.  When Ormus nourishment marries to conscious awareness of your way of being, a mental change can be made that allows your senses and faculties to live this truth: "I am back; I am in control; I am well from the inside out”. 
    
Seldom addressed is that Ormus, as a tool, helps facilitate THE Great Work of raising your LOC; level of consciousness. 

Those with a pure heart seeking the GREAT WORK in their personal lives frequently report benefit from the substances.   Those whose ego will not let them see may eventually become aware of the Divine in all things and slowly begin the GREAT WORK on themself.    
   
Lastly, please keep in mind that the GREAT WORK is a ongoing personal path toward enhanced knowledge and ever increasing awareness of the divine in all things.   

SUMMARY 
So there you have it.  The Ormus substances are believed by many including persons doing continued research, to enhance our lives and help keep us well. Ormus use according to history dating back to Moses assists in uplifting the spiritual entity within each of us to hopefully usher in a more harmonic and civilized humanity. 

While awareness of the divine connection that we all share is an important part of the Great Work, we are supposed to be Here on Earth -and what we do here is important.  During our experience living and making decisions we add to the totality of the universal experience.  Some insignificant thing we may say, think or learn could easily be the key to even greater knowledge far beyond our wildest dreams! 
  
During your day to day responses and actions remember this: “Love that is withheld is the burden we carry”. 
   
So stay interested in living life to the fullest extent possible. Live, Love and Learn!
