In 1957 58 Vietnamese soldiers were given military training by Special Forces troops. Ten years later green berets were assisting over 40,000 paramilitary troops, along with another 40,000 Regional Forces and Popular Forces soldiers. This monograph traces the development and notes the progress, problems, successes, and failures of a unique program undertaken by the U.S. Army for the first time in its history. With the withdrawal of the Special Forces from Vietnam in 1971, the Army could lay unique claim to the employment of a paramilitary force in sustained combat against a determined enemy.

Spiritual, religious teachings and scientific theories and facts are examined, compared and paralleled within this book. Biblical symbols and metaphors are decoded with the aid of mystical insights and the corroboration of the latest scientific discoveries and theories. What will be revealed is the marvellous design of the human body - "made in the image and likeness of God" (Genesis 1:27). By realising and observing certain sacred truths the magnificent potential of the God Design can be unlocked and activated. Specifically, this book discusses the scientific discovery of biochemicals, naturally produced in the human body, and associated neurophysiological structures that facilitate the awareness of realms of existence beyond ordinary, physical reality. Serious, credentialed scientists are cited in this book, who based on careful experimentation, have concluded that these experiences in altered states of consciousness are as real as our physical reality.This book includes specific details regarding the phenomenom now known as the "Sacred Secretion."
