Atom’s Blog
Atom Bergstrom, born Gosta Ingvar Bergstrom, Jr, is credited as the founder of Sun Sync and the leading expert on a Sun-Centric lifestyle.
Atom’s journey towards health, nutrition, longevity, and meditation goes back to 1955, when he first started reading books by D.C. Jarvis, J.I. Rodale, Carlton Fredericks, Adelle Davis, Aldous Huxley, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Prabhavananda, and numerous others. His exposure to the above mentioned authors instigated a deep desire and passion to understand and unlock the secrets to optimal human wellness and longevity.
Atom was inspired by the words of Thomas Jefferson: “School teaches all of the branches, but none of the roots.” He sought the answers to his questions, not in classrooms, but in books, relationships, and life experiences. His quest for true knowledge and wisdom began by studying in hundreds of libraries across the country and evolved by studying with teachers and masters including Swami Adano Ley, Sufi Adnan Sarhan, Rabbi Michael Shapiro, Taoist Master Yun Xiang Tseng, and Fitness Icon Gypsy Boots.
His most significant teacher was Swami Adano Ley with whom he spent 14 years. During this time, he studied a variety of sciences extensively, including the sun centric lifestyle, and ultimately graduated from Adano Ley’s Texas Institute of Reflex Sciences. The knowledge and wisdom he gained studying under a highly evolved swami combined with his emphasis on scientific research & personal experience would soon become the heartbeat of Sun Sync Nutrition.
For the past 40 years, Atom has dedicated his life to the continuous learning and teaching of Sun Sync Nutrition, Time Conscious Eating, Cosmo-Chemistry, Reflexology, Muscle Response Testing, Body Language Analysis, Iris Analysis, Lucid Dreaming, Meditation and many other sciences.
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “Volition is normal blood pressure. Low blood pressure causes you to drag your feet and be listless, and eventually become catatonic. High blood pressure causes you to be overly concerned with time, with getting things done as quickly as possible. Though low blood pressure and high blood pressure are…
In 1992 – 20 years ago – Dr. Robert J. Carton of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency stated … “Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of the century, if not of all time.” Fluorine is a yellowish corrosive gas that will attack anything. It’s so reactive that wood, rubber, or glass CATCH FIRE…
A major downside of calcium is RAPID AGING. Yes, calcium prevents cancer, and silicon encourages it, but youth is “a deficiency of calcium in the cells,” according to Emanuel Revici, M.D. Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye wrote a book about the aging aspects of calcium called Calciphylaxis, 1962. Calcium overdosing ages bone by destroying osteoblasts and…
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “Nobody astral projects. You either identify with oxygen inside the body or you identify with oxygen outside the body. Oxygen is consciousness. When you ‘astral project,’ you identify with your outgoing breath.” Light doesn’t really travel at 186,000 miles per second. It’s speed is ZERO. More scientifically, TIME is…
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) cautioned … “One negative word has the square root of four. Sixteen times its potential returns to confront. Therapy is re-evaluation. Say the word and you will be well.” Such cognitive re-evaluation is currently known by such names as rational emotive behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, etc. The modern version of…
Paramahansa Yogananda wrote … “The spiritual eye is a metaphysical telescope through which one can see to infinity in all directions simultaneously, beholding with omnipresent spherical vision whatever is happening in any point of creation.” Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said .. “Total convex vision is God-realization. You are the most unique radarscope when you slow…
The Delta brain wave is the “unstruck music.” Music capable of activating it is rare, mostly limited to bagpipes, oboe, white noise, and sustained notes on a synthesizer (e.g., the Prism-er of Love “Sonic Colonic”). Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) called music the “nutrient of the living soil,” saying … “Man does not live by bread…
Fatty acids and sterols are the master control governors of pH. Fatty acids are usually catabolic – entropic, homotropic – and make the body more alkaline. Sterols are usually anabolic – negentropic, heterotropic – and make the body more acidic. Excess fatty acids and/or not enough sterols produce a PUDDLE – the chaotic disorder of…
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “Accelerate the consciousness with respiration. A person in Delta breathes through their bones.” A hibernating bear recycles its bone calcium. Rachel Nowak (“Bear bones hint at treatment for osteoporosis,” New Scientist, Nov. 29, 2003) wrote .. “Hibernating bears have a unique ability to stop their bones from degenerating during…
A polar bear is an example of Cosmic Awareness in a Mobile Manner. Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “Polar bears don’t hibernate. A polar bear is in the moving state of Delta. The polar bear and the wolf don’t fight. A bull walrus is the polar bear’s most formidable companion.” The goal of Kriya…
Theta level meditation is a trance state of Conscious Sensory-Motor Semi-Organic Relaxation. Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) explained … “The body is increasing in size and age. Meditation seems frivolous compared to this. If this immortal soul is taken care of by a mortal body, I think you got a lousy deal.” Meditation is conscious sleeping….
Here’s tips on how to begin CULTIVATING the Delta brain wave. Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) almost always kept the cruise control at 60 miles per hour to resonate with a four-cycle-per second Delta brain wave on his numerous Road Trips. He continually played The Prism-er of Love “Sonic Colonic” for increased cultivation. Bagpipe music helps…
The Delta brain wave is the “top secret” of longevity, in both senses of the phrase. The optimum time to CULTIVATE the Big D is at Lung Time. Your oxidative rate is lowest between 3:00-5:00 am. Meditators all over the world jump out of bed at the “Hour of Nectar” – it’s a two-hour “hour”…
The Third Chakra – the chakra used by most Yogis and practitioners of “mindfulness” – is Consciousness acting on Matter. Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “Being younger, fresher, and more at ease with yourself are attributes of Consciousness acting on Matter.” Trauma generates endorphins and excess alkalinity. Adano said … “A trauma can make…
LOSING floods the brain with neurotoxic endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins. These internal opioid peptides – and the ones absorbed from FOOD – can eventually cause brain damage and rigidity of the neck and back muscles. Humans LOSE from time to time, and that’s OK, so internally produced opioids (along with serotonin) are a SECONDARY REWARD….
WAYS OF EATING trump Food Combining. (1) Annoyance delays digestion, sometimes for hours. Being annoyed causes bile to be sucked out of the duodenum and up into the stomach. (2) Hard or prolonged exercise before eating interferes with digestion. Light exercise, like a leisurely stroll through the woods, assists digestion. (3) Alcohol retards digestion and…
Time Conscious Eating is WORKING THE ANGLES. GROWTH ZONE ONE foods are morning foods. All foods that grow on trees may be eaten between 12:30-12:00 am. Growth Zone One foods evolved out of the CANOPY level of the three heights of forest ecology (canopy, understory, floor-subfloor levels). Heliotropic TENSION is the guiding torque influencing Zone…
Almonds increase libido in men, and the odor of almonds arouses passion in women. (Who dreams up all these brain studies anyway?) Almonds boost blood flow to the genitals of both men and women. Regular consumption of almonds regenerates skin. The entire skin – to a greater or lesser degree – is an erogenous zone….
Here’s tips for Sexual Vibrancy & Cellular Rejuvenation Around the Clock … LUNG TIME (3:00-5:00 am) – Yawn to open up your lungs for INTIMACY. Repeat the voiceless plosives P-T-K to precipitate yawning. P-T-K spreads the vocal folds of your larynx apart and allows stagnant air to flow more freely from the lungs. Lung Time…
Your mind can restore your residual thymus tissue and its supply of “Peter Pan hormone.” A healthy body PULSATES. It STREAMS. All muscle RIGIDITY is caused by neurosis or psychosis. Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) observed … “Man is a stiff-necked race.” It doesn’t have to be that way. :) Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) called the healthy…
