Atom (imitating someone else's sonorous voice): Oh, there you are!

In the Wachowski Brothers’ film, The Matrix, c. 1999, Morpheus tells Neo, “This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all I’m offering is the truth, nothing more."

The Truth, with a capital T, is important to me.

I don't claim to be Neo, and I certainly had a Morpheus as a preceptor; I traveled and studied with him for 14 years. His name was Adano Christopher Ley, and when he left this space-time continuum in 1989 his mortal coil smelled of roses as he had predicted it would way back in 1970, 19 years earlier. ¹

Adano received the title of Swami Nityananda Saraswati, and he much preferred the more down-to-earth and less pretentious "Swami Nitty-Gritty." ²

Adano was asked, "Who are you?" when I first met him back in the 1970s. He replied, "I am nothing but a figment in the imagination of Paramahansa Yogananda", the man who was Adano's Morpheus. ³

So if you ask me the same question, my reply might be, "I am nothing but a figment in the imagination of Adano Ley."

I have been involved in Nutritional Alchemy (and nothing less) since 1958, when I first started experimenting with fasting and vegetarianism and all those other isms. ⁴ I have an extensive holistic health background in a variety of categories, including an excess of 1,500 hours at the Texas Institute of Reflex Sciences. ⁵ I have blithely sidestepped the straitjacket of conventional health disinformation by avoiding the type of educators Thomas Jefferson referred to as teaching "all of the branches and none of the roots." I'm a Root Man myself, whether it's experiential or research derived.

I have developed a precise system of Body Language Analysis, and I have taught it and various other subjects all over the continental U.S.A. ⁶ Here's thanks to all the wonderful friends I have encountered while traveling.

I dedicate this book to my co-author Marcella Vonn Harting, a true Renaissance Woman of the 21st Century. This book on "ChronoBiotics" would not exist if it wasn't for her effervescent enthusiasm and due diligence.

Thank you for purchasing CHRONOBIOTICS, the book. Please buy an extra copy for a friend.

ENDNOTES AUTHOR TO READER, AUTHOR TO READER, COME IN READER

1. According to Adano Ley, “Have you ever seen a rotten butterfly? Butterflies don’t rot. The butterfly is the actualness of man. Immortality is a CONSCIOUS ALLERGENIC REACTION through identification with the timing.” The bodies of “Saints” often smell like flowers or incense after they “go on cosmic vacation.” Common fragrances include roses, lilies, violets, sandalwood, and even tobacco, iodine, and carbolic acid. This fragrant phenomenon is known as the “odor of sanctity” the “odor of the sanctified body,” the “good odor of paradise,” and has been described as a “fragrance like a breath of paradise.” There have even been reports of BILOCATION of floral exudation at great distances. Scientists have associated various alcohols, esters, and acetones with these odors. The slowing down of the biocombustion process, perhaps by changes in cellular or extracellular heat exchange values, is the most plausible explanation. Scientists are aware that “Saints” are prone to mystic intoxications. They also know this “odor of sanctity” is related to blood chemistry, which usually smells putrid after death. Scientists call such phenomena “holy neurosis.” Adano smelled like ROSES. I was one of the witnesses to this back in October, 1989, in Richmond, Virginia. The fragrance clearly emanated from the top of his forehead as he lay in the coffin. It continued for several days and was accentuated by moisture. There were other witnesses to this floral emanation, including Melissa Wolfe, who smelled it emanating from Adano’s entire body, and not just out of his forehead where most people, including myself, detected it. I was also a witness to the odor’s BILOCATION. It appeared in Carpinteria, California, immediately after Melissa and I returned there from Richmond. Jimmy Salvagio, David Neal, and I also smelled it in Houston several weeks later. More than ten years marched by, and, in April of 2000, the fragrance showed up again. I was in my Fort Worth apartment, composing issue #28 of Diamond Body that discussed the “odor of sanctity.” Issue #28 also recounted Adano’s “commitment” to me. He promised to walk through the wall of my home, share a meal, and then exit back through the very same wall, leaving me half of the food on his plate. That untouched portion would remain in a nondecaying condition as a token of the visit. After typing Adano’s “commitment” into my computer, my apartment was suddenly suffused with the fragrance of roses. Recovering from my initial amazement, I still managed to grouse, “Thank you, you blankity-blank Oriental joker, but don’t think this lets you off the hook. I’ll take this odor as a down payment on the real deal!”

2. Swami Ananda Saraswati considered giving the name “Adyananda” to Adano Ley, meaning “One Eternal Now Bliss” or “First Spirit.” He realized only God could warrant such a title. Instead, he named Adano Swami Nityananda Saraswati. Nityananda means “Ever New Bliss.”

3. Paramahansa Yogananda wrote, “Dear Mr. Adano Ley, What are all the books in the world compared to fifteen minutes in the silence of the soul [soil]?” (See Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, 1946, for Yogananda’s biography.) Years later, in a Dallas airport terminal, Charan Singh filled Adano’s brain with “ALL the books.”

4. In 1901, when Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy realized the transformational nature of thorium’s mysterious “emanation,” Soddy exclaimed, “Rutherford, this is TRANSMUTATION. The thorium is disintegrating and turning itself into argon [actually, it was radon] gas.” Rutherford replied, “For mike’s sake, Soddy, don’t call it transmutation. They’ll have our heads off as ALCHEMISTS!” Alchemy is “all the chemistry,” the science of time-controlled “living soil.” All of the atomic elements of the Periodic Table play a role in the health of humans, according to J. Rodale and Adano Ley.

5. Texas Institute of Reflex Sciences was a pioneering school of the holistic reflex sciences. TIRS was located at 5127 Richmond Ave., Houston, Texas, from 1976–1978. It was founded by Dr. Margaret Berry and Adano Ley. Margaret was the “President,” Adano was “Vice-President and Dean,” Lakheeshwar Ram was the “Instructor of Anatomy and Physiology,” and Steve Shiver was in charge of the “Techniques Department.” According to a brochure, the curriculum included, “Anatomy, Physiology, Neurology, Body Chemistry, Nutrition, Kinesiology, Reflexology, Body Geometry, Massage Theory, Massage Techniques, Polarity Techniques, Body Signs & Symbols, Structural Techniques, Iamotology, Equipment Aids,” etc. For more information on TIRS, read The Akashic Grapevine Chronicles, 1979, a published diary of my school days there.

6. According to Ida Rolf, “The physical body is actually the personality rather than its expression.” And according to Dr. Sigmund Freud, “No mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.” According to —Karl Menninger, M.D., Martin Mayman, Ph.D., & Paul Pruyser, Ph.D., The Vital Balance: The Life Process in Mental Health and Illness, 1963, “Sneezing, coughing, itching and scratching, borborygmus, yawning, the compulsion to get up and walk around, and many other similar measures of relief serve as examples [of physical and physiological ways of relieving excess tension]. ‘Organ language’ is a term which has been used to describe the function, expression, and communication which many organs of the body have. It was studied by Darwin in connection with facial muscles which voluntarily and involuntarily express aggression as well as other feelings and come to have their message recognized by others, so that it is a means of communication. Some organs communicate their message only to the individual himself—palpitation, for example. Some messages are voluntary, such as threatening gestures, and some are involuntarily, such as blushing. Familiar somatic devices for relieving excess tension which involve some voluntary nervous-system pathways include such acts as frequent urination and defecation, increased sweating, and increased sexual activity.” THE BODY DOESN’T LIE. A neurologist tested a client of mine and announced to us both that my client’s neurological symptoms were merely “myoclonic jerks.” I commented, “Doctor, the humor of this is that I make my living interpreting myoclonic jerks.”
