Table of Contents

Dr. George Washington Carey was born in Dixon, Illinois, on September 7th, 1845, and was one of a large family of children. His father's name was John Carey, and bore the relation of grand-nephew to John Quincy Adams. On his mother's side, a grandfather served with General Marion during the Revolution. His mother's name was Ruth Odell. When George Carey was about a year and a half old, the Careys left Illinois and came by covered wagon to Oregon, a journey of six months. The motion picture entitled “The Covered Wagon” gives an extremely realistic presentation of the main features of that trip and Dr. Carey greatly enjoyed seeing it.

He had very little schooling, but his parents were well qualified to teach him the fundamentals. His father was well known for his humorous verses which embodied much of Irish wit. As a child George was very delicate, his parents being doubtful that he would grow to manhood. His earlier years were spent on a farm, the evenings enlivened by music. Later on, he became leader of the village orchestra.

In his early forties he became the first Postmaster of Yakima, Washington, and held the position for several terms. Hearing of the science of biochemistry, he resigned to devote his life to its study.

Together with a number of physicians, Dr. Carey founded the College of Biochemistry in Yakima, Washington, and a few students enrolled and graduated, among them being the College founders; but, as this was many years ago, not much interest in the subject was aroused, and the project was given up because of lack of support.

Dr. Chapman was one of those taking the course, and the book which he wrote on biochemistry has been a popular household work.

Today this science is coming before the world, seemingly by leaps and bounds. Schools devoted to the teaching of biochemistry in a practical way are starting up in many states of the Middle West, and entire families are learning how to supply their blood deficiencies. After years of almost heartbreaking pioneering, of almost utter discouragement, on the part of its advocates, the science is now fast becoming recognized. In 1928, I believe, the Eclectic College or Chiropractic of Los Angeles added biochemistry to its curriculum.

Most people are not aware that biochemistry is an ancient Sanscrit science. Once again the cycle has appeared, upon whose wave it is borne. When Dr. Carey wrote his work on The Biochemic System of Medicine, its first press recognition was in a Health Magazine published by biochemic physicians in India. It stated: “We are glad to see that a western brother is helping to bring back the ancient science of biochemistry.”

The book referred to above is now in its twenty-third edition. Years ago, when Dr. Carey wrote this treatise, he was financially unable to publish it, and sold the copyright to the Luyties Pharmacal Company, of St. Louis. Old Dr. Luyties, the founder of the firm, as well as Dr. Boericke, had interviewed Dr. William Schuessler, the originator of biochemistry, in Oldenburg, Germany. They learned his method of preparing the cell salts or mineral constituents of the blood, and presented it in this country. Since Dr. Carey's death in 1924, the last edition of his book was re-edited by a Dr. Arthur Perry, and it has lost its old familiar aspect. The writer of this article is now preparing a new and up-to-date edition combining with the science of astrology. This will enable anyone to work out his or her own individual chemical plan from the birth data.

It was Dr. Carey, who, in one of those strange and rare moments which come to those who seek, ascribed to each sign of the zodiac its corresponding chemical element or salt (salt is an old term for “earth”), and wrote The Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac, the most unique work of the century and the most valuable.

It has been regrettable that so many have copied this work, plagiarists who have never mentioned his name as the distinguished author. Recently a Chicago magazine carried an advertisement, much of which was copied, word for word, from one of his circulars, no credit given and no quotation marks used.

Because the work was never copyrighted by Dr. Carey is no excuse for not giving the author credit for it. It is for the purpose of emphasizing this, and securing for him permanent recognition, that this fourteenth edition is combined with some new writings of my own, and copyrighted.

And as it is the fourteenth in the series, it means a new product, the mystical fruit of a new age, the Aquarian, concerning which Dr. Carey often wrote and spoke. It is a new product, because for the first time it is definitely stated to be the Key to Physical Regeneration and Spiritual Illumination.

The fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is N, spelled Nun in that language. Its literal interpretation is fish, (fruit or progeny.) In the Biblical story, Joshua was the son of Nun, and Joshua is the origin of the Latinized form, Jesus. Therefore Jesus also means fish. It is common knowledge that the fish has been the esoteric symbol for two thousand years, at least, for the Son of Man. This will be dealt with at great length under Virgo, the sixth lesson or chapter.

This edition, then, is symbolic of all that the letter N means,—the new man, for it gives information relative to the necessary material required to produce, or create that new man. Dr. Carey also gave to the world the formula for bio-plasma, which is a combination of the twelve inorganic salts of the blood, combined in the proportion which he considered necessary to create healthy, or chemically perfect blood.

Those who are familiar with his book, The Biochemic System of Medicine, feel that he improved greatly the application of Schuessler's system. More and more information is being constantly obtained, so that still further contributions will be made to this invaluable science. As the Scriptures state—“All things work together for good,” and until we learn what they are and apply them, we can not hope to arrive at the perfect state.

Some years after becoming interested in biochemistry, Dr. Carey edited a small magazine dealing with this subject, and containing also humorous articles and poems from his pen. His Chemistry of the Cosmos found many appreciative readers, as it contained unusual poems as well as articles of a scientific nature. One which was especially valued was entitled It, and dealt with the one universal esse from which all things originate and to which they eventually return.

His explanation of slang phrases is very interesting as well as instructive, for he brings out the fact that they are based on truth and that the Cosmic Mind or planetary vibration, impinging (the same as radio waves) on the human brain at a certain time causes mental electricity to etch in a certain manner on the wax-like brain cells. Hence thoughts are produced relative to particular subjects.

In just this way public or mass interest is aroused along definite lines. Great truths are thus expressed in a manner attractive to the great majority of minds, stepped down, we may say, into a vernacular which is “catchy,” while the idea back of it all is comprehended only by a few.

Not only was Dr. Carey deeply interested in life's chemical mysteries, but his searching mind longed to solve the greatest of all, that of physical regeneration and spiritual illumination, and the plan or process necessary for its attainment. Hiram Butler's theory appealed to him and he began his researches along that line, finding at last that God, Word, seed, fish, Jesus and progeny are words synonymous in meaning, and when understood from their etymological derivation, will unlock the door of the Inner Mystery. He discovered that esse, the substance of being, the elixir of life—in other words the brain or life substance—is the protoplasmic seed material which is found to be the possession of every human being. The Herculean task or great work which everyone must perform, eventually, is the purification and perfection of this material, for it then becomes the Christ or Holy Oil.

The astounding revelation of what this means came to Dr. Carey when he had passed his seventieth year, and he went forth bravely to give it to the world. He found, at a late day, what he had been searching for all his life, the greatest secret of all. It is not hidden from anyone, but each hides it from himself because of mental inability to grasp it.

And thus he set his feet, at last, upon the rung of the ladder which leads back home to God or good. To find that rung and set one's feet thereon is the day of all days for every human being. Then one must begin the climb. Literally, it means that one is endeavoring to BECOME a Christian, to make a new being of one's self. To become a Christian does not refer to a belief that a certain man was killed by a mob in order that our sins might be forgiven. In fact that is utter nonsense, for it would make null and void the law of cause and effect, and contradict point blank the declaration that we must “Work out our own salvation.” It truly must be worked out, for it is a definite process, physiological and mental, and hence moral.

The climb to the heights is not the work of one lifetime, but of many, for the simple reason that it is too great a task to accomplish in a few short years. “Know the truth and the truth shall set you free,” the Bible states. Yes, free from pain, sickness, sorrow and death, for truly death is “the last enemy to be overcome.” Death, aside from accident, is the result of dis-ease, inharmony in the chemical elements of the blood, hence cell starvation. Therefore we will overcome death when we know enough to live. One link of the chain of bondage (ignorance) falls off at a time, until we are free.

Dr. Carey's initial attempt to give out information relative to the subject of occult physiology and the process of redemption and salvation was a book entitled The Tree of Life.

It was this publication which gave me my first insight into the real nature of the Scriptures and occult works in general. I realized that they were a compilation of scientific facts about mankind, physiological, anatomical, chemical, and metaphysical. Later on, after beginning the study of esoteric astrology, I realized that this noble science synthesized them all. I found it a veritable treasure house of facts, and dug deeply and am still digging in this mine of wealth.

In his seventy-second year Dr. Carey offered me a partnership, which was accepted and purchased. Like his, my interest was, is, and will be entirely along these lines.

In 1923, the work of the Los Angeles office was taken over by me and he sailed for Australia, his plan being to spend some time there. However, the long and tiresome trip and arduous work in a new field was more than he should have attempted. He mapped out too much work, too many lectures. He felt he must not lose a moment, that the great message must be given without ceasing, humanity's need was so great and the time so short. It was short for him, as he was nearing his eightieth year, and short also for those who had not yet turned to higher things. Earth is preparing once again for great changes, as the solar system nears the constellation of Aquarius. The 2160 years required for it to pass through its atmosphere is termed the Aquarian Age or the Age of the Son of Man. Humanity must begin to look upward, for it will be forced to by this very vibration. The mind must begin to expand and the animal-man at last make a decided effort to purify himself of his animal nature and become really humane.

Then will humanity work with Nature and not against her, and thus, indeed, will the very earth be made new. “And there shall be a new heaven and a new earth.”

Dr. Carey and I together revised and enlarged The Tree of Life, and as co-authors published God-Mart, The Word Made Flesh, together with a large physiological chart giving much data on occult physiology, and indicating the positions of the seven great nerve centers or chakras, otherwise the Seven Churches of Asia. This work has seen three editions. It is temporarily out of print awaiting the completion of a mass of new material which will be added to it.

Dr. Carey also published two other books, The Chemistry of Life, and The Chemistry and Wonders of the Human Body.

Returning to the states from his trip to Australia, he went to San Diego to lecture, and on the 17th day of November, 1924, stepped forth from his physical vehicle. His wish that it be cremated was fulfilled. The Grand Army, of which he was a member, had charge of the services.

To those who ask the question, “Why did not the cell food and his belief in physical regeneration cause him to live longer,” I will say that the answer has already been given. He found the key to physical regeneration only after he had passed seventy. The process is not of one life, one incarnation, but of many. Only those unfamiliar with this subject ask that question. He lived, at that, longer than the average person, even though beginning life with a very sensitive, delicate body. Constantly engaged in strenuous work, he accomplished more at seventy years of age along that line than the average man of fifty, and he traveled and lectured up to the very last.

Dr. Carey's mentality was of a mercurial type, Mercury and the Sun having been in Virgo at birth, therefore he was critical and analytical. When lecturing, he would make a tremendously iconoclastic statement relative to some astounding fact and, without explaining, soar on his Mercury wings to more lofty heights. Resting for a moment, his audience would be blinded by another flash from the mighty sword of Truth; but he left it to them to fill in the intervening space, and very few could. His flights into mental ether where facts are born were so lofty that his journey was a lonely one. His was a truly scientific mind which nothing but facts could satisfy, and he demanded facts of others.

In his early forties he gave up smoking and never took liquor in any form whatsoever, as he realized what effect they both had on the delicate tissues, membranes and glands of the body which the Scriptures call “THE TEMPLE OF GOD.” In this incarnation he did the best he could to utilize and work out the truths he had contacted.

Many people all over the country tell me that the information which Dr. Carey gave forth in his writings and lectures have been the means of opening up an entirely new vista of life to them, and they bless him for it. We, too, bless him, and radio our gratitude to him in the realm of the unseen where he is waiting. When the time is ripe and the astrological moment arrives which will produce the vibration necessary for his reappearance in the objective, may he come forth again in physical manifestation to go on with the work he loved so well. Requiescat in pace!
