Part 15

Strange to say, our doctors marvel at the increase of syphilitic affections, of tubercular conditions of the body and of the bones, of the prevalence of hip disease, yet fail to see that it comes from the inoculation of these innocent children with cow-syphilis. I would unhesitatingly kill any member of a board of health or any officer who would enforce the inoculation of any of my family with this syphilis, and the jury does not live that would convict me. The body being rebuilt every six months, the so-called immunizing could only be effective for that period. Now, my scientific (?) friends, as I have taught you something that is irrefutable, have the boards of health force a law that all shall be poxed every six months. What a lot of idle doctors would be kept busy.

These philosophers (?), these scientists (?), fill horses with disease and take the serum, fill it full of drugs to keep it from spoiling (?), “shoot” it into the arms of helpless babes to cure them of diphtheria, and when they die of lockjaw and other diseases produced by the poison so injected into their blood, the doctors suddenly discover that they got hold of the wrong toxin, otherwise the children would have recovered. Never! A lie given to protect a fool theory.

Now, as the body is rebuilt every six months, and there is an intelligence building the body, an intelligence that is making the blood, an intelligence than is transforming this blood so made into tissue, what in the mischief have bugs to do with disease? The germ is life; impossible to find life without germs or germs without life, and the germ is simply a transformation of form of life; if the intelligence within the body is surrounded with suggestions of health, forcing it to perform its functions in a natural and proper way, it will make the correct transformation which is known as health; but if the rhythm of its work is interfered with, it will make mal-transformations which are recognized as germs of this, that, and the other disease. The removing of the germ is of no consequence, inasmuch as the intelligence (mind) still builds more germs. Remove the cause, allow the intelligence that built to rebuild correctly, and the “specific” germs will disappear. Killing the germs is like to a man who is annoyed by a hen laying an egg on his porch every morning, and he sends the servant out to destroy the egg. If you want to stop the laying of the egg on the porch, remove the hen.

Good blood and bad blood are results of the building of the intelligence (mind) that makes the blood, and any bugs or anything of that kind you find in your blood are simply the badly or goodly made blood. Our doctors seem to think that man is built and rebuilt without an intelligence to guide that building; that he is a compost heap in which seeds lie that in time develop and grow, overlooking that the body is a result, that anything on or in the body is a result, and that the entire result is guided by the all-wise intelligence of mind, this mind being subservient to and part of the Law of Suggestion—its environment.

=Mineral, vegetable, animal, human mind is the same (either singly or collectively); i. e., a conditional reproduction of its environment (suggestion). (1), The primitive element (environment), forces (suggests) a reproduction in (2), vegetable result; 1 and 2 forces (suggests) a result (3),—animal life; and 1 plus 2 plus 3 forces (suggests) a result (4),—man. Thus the Law of Suggestion keeps up an individual and combined transformation, always progressing yet ever in variable form, resulting from the individual changes in the several attributes (suggestion) back of or lower than itself.=

=“Man is made in the image of his Creator.” Yes; but, dear reader, not as you interpret it. Man is the interpretation, the consensus, the result of the transforming of his environment, the exemplification of the Law of Suggestion; he is good, God. Mind, the intelligence within, learned from the mother, responds to the external forces, suggestion, the all, God, that forces material life ever onward into something else. We are but one of the MANY forms of God, good, the Law of Suggestion that embraces ALL. Remove from or add one atom to this world and it will end, a thing incomprehensible. What is, was, and always will be.=

I place a cantharides plaster on the left arm of a man and blister him. In time the blister heals. I afterward hypnotize him, put a postage stamp on his left arm and tell him that it is a cantharides plaster, and in twenty-four hours or less I have the blister. What made the first blister? What made the second? Well, the first blister was made by the cantharides plaster. No, sir; it was not. The first blister was suggested by the plaster, which caused the ganglion that built the tissue of that area of the arm to accomplish a condition called a “blister,” that action, being associated with the cerebral memory of the name “cantharides plaster,” was aroused in the hypnosis through the word “plaster” and the ganglion built the second blister as it did the first. Can I reproduce this blister on the right arm? No. Why not? Because the ganglion of the right arm has no such memory. I can only produce it on the place where the memory was established through its proper channels, through feeling. Here is where the mistake has been so often made by operators trying to perform the blister test; trying to revive a memory where none exists.

A man has a wart on his finger; the doctor says the wart grew there. No, it did not grow there. It is a result. It is burned off with an acid or caustic, and grows (?) back; then the doctor says he did not get to the roots (?), that if he had taken the roots out, it would stop growing. (Just as if a man was a well-manured heap, and you could grow things in him.) An old woman comes along, cuts a few white hairs out of a black cat’s tail, mutters some cabalistic words over it, and behold, in time the wart disappears! Why? Because she reaches the mind. The mind stopped building the wart and began building healthy tissue. The doctor cuts it off, but seldom reaches the mind.

No result can be produced in the body until the mind is reached. Drugs are nothing but suggestions. We will assume that a man’s bowels are constipated and the doctor gives him a dose of calomel. Does the calomel move the bowels? Yes. Good. If I put into a glass jar some food with some calomel, will it “move”? What is constipation? Why, it is lack of secretions, lack of peristalsis. Does the peristalsis work of itself? Does the secretion work of itself, or is there an intelligence that guides and makes the secretions, that guides and forces the peristalsis? This being a fact, the intelligence that guides or rules the secretions and peristalsis has ceased to do its work, and the calomel simply irritates these ganglia or brain centers and stimulates them to renew their former action. If they accept this suggestion the patient is cured; if they fail to do so, more suggestion must be given, and in many cases the ganglia refuse to accept the suggestion at all and the doctor looks wise and gives you a handful more of “stuff.”

The Mental or Christian Scientist, or hypnotist can cure constipation. How does he do it? Let us first analyze and find the attributes of constipation. First, there is the cerebral attribute, its name, constipation; associated with that are the two mind actions of peristalsis and secretion. Those three are now associated in the “mind” of man, and the law is that if I lock a thought in the “mind” and start it in action, every one of its attributes in its proper place is bound to act. Therefore, if I will lock into the mind of a hypnotized subject the thought that his bowels are loose, or will move, or arouse any thought there that has associated with it the action of peristalsis and secretions, and hold that thought there long enough, the result is certain. It is for this reason that a personal suggestion or an inspiration in hypnosis has but little effect on a young child. The moment it has cerebral attributes associated with sympathetic attributes, and the operator knows how to emphasize them, he can get the desired result.

The Christian Scientists tell the patient that he is not sick; then if his mind could reason it would say, “If I am not sick, in what condition am I?” But you should say to your patient, “You are sick, and so and so will happen,” and if the memory is there to be aroused the action will take place. Remember, in hypnosis or any mental treatment, you can only revive memories, words of themselves mean nothing, hence skill is required to force the proper thought; but just as certain as the proper thought, no matter how aroused, is put in force just that certain will the action take place.

I believe that the only cure for cancer is personal suggestion, inasmuch as the cancer does not grow in the body of man, but the mind that is building that area of the body is building cancerous, instead of healthy, tissue; that a suggestion or an inspiration will be found that will re-establish the original healthy building. Our doctor cuts the cancer out and says it grows back. It does not grow back.

Personal suggestion, when attempted, must affect the proper senses; in hypnosis the operator names the sense-pictures. When we talk health to a patient, we must look and act health, as well as show it in our tone. If we doubt, we are wasting our time, inasmuch as we can only do as we think. Faith, confidence and sincerity are the principal attributes of a “mental healer.”

HEREDITY

When our neighbors desire to account for there being a black sheep in the family, having charity towards all, they immediately state that he inherited it—whatever that may mean. They travel back generation through generation and if they go far enough they can always find what they want, and claim that this taint came from a forefather. For Heaven’s sake, if we are the epitome or digest of all the good and ill that our forefathers have been doing, clear from the time they were monkeys, what a conglomeration we should be at the present time.

According to our alienists; a very good word, it always reminds me of foreign—strange, I don’t know—and they are strong on heredity, we inherit (?) insanity, ill health, goodness, badness, et cetera. Heredity is a word that means nothing, therefore explains nothing, and is a very good word to use by our scientific (?) friends when somebody asks a pertinent question.

The Abdominal Brain of the child learns from the same brain (mind) of the mother to reproduce as of the mother, modified by the material out of which to build (condition of the mother’s blood), and the present external environment (suggestion) of the mother.

As is proven by birthmarks, cerebral impressions have a positive effect on the Abdominal Brain action. A child looks like its father simply through the sense-impression on the mother. A mother may bear a child having the features of her husband’s dearest friend and yet be a physically pure woman. A child having the features of a woman’s husband is not proof that he is its father. I would go even a step farther, and say if I were on a jury to pass judgment on a white woman who gave birth to a black child, and it was shown that the woman was of proper moral character, et cetera, I would unhesitatingly believe and decide in favor of the woman being physically pure, although the child was black.

The story of Jacob illustrates this, and breeders of animals prove it, year after year. If I dared, here, to discuss this subject properly, I could quote instances without number all tending to prove my claim. The element of the male is only a fertilizer, nothing more, and nothing is inherited from the father, per se. The egg of the mother contains a memory (mind) of building the Abdominal Brain, which action is aroused by the element of the male. The moment the Abdominal Brain (Sympathetic System) is built, it acquires its intelligence direct from the Sympathetic brain centers of the mother, tempered by cerebral impressions. It is for this reason that our alleged scientists fail to “produce” life.

Why is it that two children of the same mother possess absolutely different traits? They both have the same (?) environment? How is this possible? The environment is not the same. First, the external environment is always changing, if in nothing else, there is the change of the seasons. The food differs, the mental state of the mother differs, etc. In fact, at no time are we the same, we are always changing, moving on, nillynally, reflecting the constant change of our suggestion.

In a piano factory one hundred pianos are turned out, seemingly built of the same material, by the same hands, and yet no two are identically the same in value or quality. How is this? No two things are the same. After the pianos are completed a man assorts them, then a more skillful one; and last, the expert comes in and decides on the relative value of the instruments. So it is with children born, each varying and time assorts them. Those born with superfine feeling nerve-ends will quickly learn to withdraw from coarse wraps, while those born with dulled nerve-ends will be attracted to the contact of the rough wraps, each through its natural state (mind) responding positively to the suggestion.

A child born with the nerves of hearing super-sensitive, will gather more ideas as to sound and develop itself into a musician; the same with sight, a child super-acute as to distinguishing form and color, is certain to develop into a painter, draftsman, or enter some pursuit that will give expression to his superabundance of ideas of this one sense.

A mother possessed of a certain sexual irritation will produce a child having a redundant, superfluous, or abnormal condition, which, in time, will result through its irritation into a condition similar to the mother’s. Or, if the father be in a condition to impress the mother, in ninety times out of a hundred, the impression so produced on the mother will be reproduced in the child, physically. Here is the heredity. But a surgeon knowing (?) what is “normal,” has it in his power to remove the irritation or redundant tissue, and thereby put the child in a “normal” condition. How many male Jews do we find suffering from consumption? Not because their mothers did not have consumption, but as the cause of the consumption is removed from them.

A child, being born with a sound pair of lungs, could not possibly have inherited consumption, as the mind has but the one memory. To have inherited consumption would have meant to inherit a memory of building an imperfect pair of lungs. But the child did inherit a genital irritation which would result, in later years, in worrying the ganglia and cause (force) them to build an imperfect lung. Thanks to the discovery of orificial surgeons, many of these irritations are known, which, if removed at birth, will destroy the alleged inheritance.

A mother has astigmatism; baby is born with good eyes, and, mind you, that babe is getting a new pair of eyes every six months. It is strange that the ganglia which, according to the theory of our alleged scientists, should have inherited a memory of building bad eyes, should, after building thirty or forty pairs of good ones, suddenly recollect that it has forgotten to do what it inherited, and start in building bad eyes. The truth of the matter is this: The irritation that was inherited had not, until after a number of years, grown to be of sufficient importance as to disarrange the rhythm or memory action of the ganglia (mind) that build the eyes.

So it is with every one of the alleged inherited diseases. I do not believe that a mother, living on pure food, could transmit syphilis to her child. It is simply the furnishing of the mind of the child improper material out of which to build its body. A child born with a deformity, no mind treatment will cure; because the “normal” memory is not there to be re-established, for in hypnosis, or through what they call suggestive treatment, only memories can be revived. Where there is no memory there is nothing to revive.

A child is born into the world with its cerebrum inactive. In a short time consciousness, or registration of ideas through the cerebrum, begins, and the child now must respond to external suggestion as well as internal (physical). The child, being born into a new environment, must learn through suggestion to adapt itself to (become part of) that environment. If it succeeds in doing so, it will be the survival of the fittest, and live. If it fails it will die. The environment by which it is surrounded is the environment of the mother; the habits (manner of responding) of the mother are now being transferred to the child. As the child progresses in life, its accumulation of associated ideas are in response to its environment, and are but the gathering together of the reproduction of the mother, subject to changes or modifications of the present external environment, called the advancement of “civilization.”

When the girl reaches womanhood she marries, which is the beginning of new creatures. Ah, if our women could only appreciate the magnitude of the responsibility that they take on their shoulders when they get married, if they could but learn that marriage is not for the gratification of sensuality, brutality and puppy-dog love; but the beginning, the starting point, the sending forth into the world of beings who will carry on the good or ill that this young mother suggests to them (surrounds them with). Is it not a sin, a shame, that women, not understanding themselves, lacking in knowledge that is unmistakably possessed by animals, are allowed to marry? No woman should bear children until she has learned as to how to bear them. A dog is her own midwife, as is also a squaw; but civilized (?) woman, being unprepared, has to send for a doctor. Truly, this is proof positive of the advancement (?) of man. The young mother, differing from the lower (?) animals, does not know what to do with the child, now she has it.
