Self Healing by Thought Force

scraps, discarded material, and garbage. No part of the body—no organ—can be healthy and do its work properly unless it is properly nourished, and the only way it can be nourished is by the blood. Consequently, if the blood supply is deficient or the circulation is affected, there is imperfect nourishment and a lack of health—which is Disease.

Now, how does Nature work in order to keep the circulation normal? She does this by means of the nerve currents sent out from the great dynamo—the brain dynamo: A machine that generates electricity. Atkinson uses this then-modern metaphor to describe the brain as the power station of the body.. And now, note how the law of reciprocity law of reciprocity: The principle that two things are mutually dependent and exert a shared influence on each other. comes in. While the circulation is influenced and directed by the nerve current, the nerves carrying this current—and the brain which generates and sends it out—are both dependent upon this blood supply for their own nourishment.

Note the interdependence of the parts and Nature’s law of reciprocity and compensation. You will see how a person having one thing must have another, and how being deficient in one, he will lack the other. It is another example of the principle: "To everyone who has, more will be given; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away" original: "To him who hath shall be given..."; a reference to Matthew 25:29. In this context, health and vitality create a cycle that generates more health, while a lack of them leads to further decline.. But a person never loses the ability to generate and use his mental reserve force. It may lie dormant and unused because he knows not how to apply it; it may be kept from working because of the "brake" he puts upon it; but it is there, ready to be used, all the time.

Now, do not forget that this mental brake that a person puts on this recuperative force is largely the result of improper thinking. Fearthought, hate, and jealousy are all brakes. Yes, I mean this literally. You all know how the action of the heart is increased or decreased by certain emotions; how the cheek flushes from one emotion and pales with another, thus showing that the circulation is affected by mental states; how digestion is impaired by unpleasant and sorrowful thoughts; and so on. Each of these shows how the state of the mind will manifest on the physical plane physical plane: A term used in New Thought and Theosophy to refer to the tangible, material world and the human body.. I believe that all disease is caused by improper living or improper thinking—with the exception of those resulting from accidents—and even those may be made better or worse according to the state of the mind. (Of course, I know that...
