The Psychological Causes of Disease...............Alice Bailey
~*~~*~~*~
The point I would like to make here, before proceeding further, is that I shall seek to avoid, as far as possible, all technicalities. Our theme is the esoteric consideration of disease and its forms; it seeks to elucidate the subject of and the vital causes of such diseases, and to indicate the general laws with which the healer must work and the six rules which he must impose upon himself—and to which he gives obedience, through discipline and understanding.
You will have noted that I listed the psychological causes under four headings:
1. Those arising out of the emotional-feeling nature.
2. Those which have their origin in the etheric body.
3. Those which are based on wrong thought.
4. The peculiar complaints and psychological troubles of disciples.
It may have interested you to see that I place the ills of the etheric body in the second place and not the first. The reason for this is that the group ills and diseases which have fastened upon the race, work primarily through the etheric body and find their way out into manifestation via the etheric bodies of all forms. But I have placed them second, even though they are in the last analysis the most numerous, owing to the fact that humanity cannot as yet deal with [25] these en masse. The approach has to be through individuals, and men must clear their astral or emotional bodies of those conditions which pre-dispose them to disease, as individuals. At present, the race is astrally polarised. The emotional sentient nature is all-powerful in the masses. This leads to a relatively negative etheric body which is tuned in on the entire etheric substance of the planet. This substance, which underlies all forms, is simply a transferring and transmitting agency for vital energy to the outer dense physical body. Energy sweeps through this etheric substance, free from all control by the individual human being, and quite unrealised by him because his focus of attention is astral. From the astral or emotional state of consciousness, much concerning individual physical conditions can be deduced. We must, however, eliminate those ills which are group ills and which have swept into and through all mankind from the world of etheric force, leaving him in some way depleted, or overstimulated, or in such a condition that Death naturally supervenes. It might be stated as a basic generalisation that personal physical trouble has its seat at present in the emotional body, and that that vehicle of expression is the one predominant predisposing agent in the ill health of the individual, just as group ills and the sweep of epidemics of any kind through the masses are founded in some condition in the etheric substance of the planet. Those diseases which are general, national, racial and planetary find their way to an individual via his etheric body, but are not so personal in their implication

The Mechanics of Healing
The purpose of this treatise is to give the reader a general understanding of the nature of healing in relation to the interaction of the body with the less tangible parts of the individual. It is not intended as a way to end illness but can be used as such if the process is understood. Healing is a process that follows a path based on Natural Laws. These Laws can be used a number of ways to gain the experience desired in the individual healing process. Healing is not a reward for doing something better, just as sickness is not a punishment for something done wrong. We will present healing as an act of Power and sickness as a way to bring us closer to our Body.
Purpose and Meaning
In order to understand the purpose of dis-ease in our life we must first understand the nature of Purpose. Purpose is a coherent stream of information that is sent from the plane of Causes to the plane of Effects. Therefore everything that happens in the world is a reflection of something that was caused on a more subjective level. Cause carries Purpose. Effect carries Response. Even though everything that happens is driven by purpose, we can be the initiators of this Purpose because we also live on the plane of Causes. The Human Soul lives on the plane of Causes and it carries the Intent of the Human Spirit into the Physical world, the plane of Effects. The Light of the Spirit gives direction to the Soul which sends the Purpose for activity to the Will/Body which responds in kind. This trinity of relationship must be remembered as we look more closely into the mechanics of healing. If we view disease this way, that it has a purpose and it is not just some random act of nature, we take the first step to gaining the secret to the reason for its’ presence.
Imprints from Spirit
Every experience we have is initiated by our Spirit and has a message to impart. To better understand how the spirit communicates its' intent we will define the healing cascade as it manifests in the various parts of the human nature that exist between the spirit and the physical body.
Spirit, like the Light, is always seeking to expand and to fill what ever space is available in order to become greater and more inclusive. As our spirit seeks to lead us to a fuller expression of life, it sends messages to our conscious mind through the vehicles of our subtler bodies that exist between our spirit and physical body. The Soul Body is such a vehicle.
For example; a specific intent of Spirit may be to increase our personalities’ general acceptance of that which we do not understand, or reduce a rigid attitude. This intent would first contact the plane of manas (mental intuitive), and depending on our contact with that part of our nature we would respond accordingly. In some cases the response is an immediate opening to a “broader view” taken by the personality that is then integrated into the brain and life experience. More often it is allowed to go unnoticed. It would then continue to resonate until it had an effect on the level below it, the emotional body. (astral plane) We would begin to experience a narrowness or limitation in our thoughts and feelings. The message of our Spirit will not be denied. If we do not attend to these thoughts and feelings and seek out their message, they will continue to resonate until they reduce their frequency to the level of the energy body. (etheric body) We would then begin to notice a reduction in vitality and a general constriction in our use of energy.
Assuming that we do not take this hint either, it is not long before our physical body is affected also. The “buck” stops here. The physical body is the only part of our nature that will not deny what is happening to it. It has no place to send these impulses. It does what it does best and manifests them. We may experience arthritic conditions or some other loss of flexibility which represents the intent of the message of the spirit. The condition of our body becomes the last resort of the spirit to get a message across to our consciousness that some adjustments would be in our best interest.
The Language of the Body
We see in this network of inner communication, that sickness is not a punishment for something in our past, (unless we hold judgments here) but a message of interest from our Spirit that has a gift hidden within it. As we start to understand the healing cascade, we start seeing the message of our Spirit before it manifests in
the physical body. The results of this are a Body which is empowered and sensitized by these imprints from Spirit which draws them closer together. When we are able to deal with our energy before it becomes physical, we become the mediator of how this interaction will occur. When we deal with our thoughts and feelings before they affect our energy our energy will always have a harmonizing or stimulating effect. In using our intuition to feel the intent of our Spirit and implement its' message in our life, we make a direct connection between Body and Spirit.
The Body is the Gift from the Mother God. It is Innocent. It does not have an agenda of its’ own other than living forever and avoiding pain. The Body is the vehicle of manifestation. The Mother does not specify what Her children will create in this vehicle. Even though some of that which has been created in the Body has not been pleasant, the Mother has allowed Body that experience.
The last example given was a condition which the Body created by creating an imbalance in the use of certain minerals, namely Magnesium, calcium, boron and sulfur. This is not a “disease” it is a deficiency, but still initiated by the cascade of energy between the various parts of the Human expression. Much of what is happening to Body is expressed in deficiency because denial is sending this feeling to the Body. Death is the denial of Immortality. All the parts of ourselves that we do not like are pushed away and given no place. Body responds by denying itself certain nutrients or minerals that resonate with the incoming energy.
Shared Responsibility
We will now look at the diseases caused by organisms which seemingly affect large groups of people. This is again a response by Body, but now it is a global response because it is a global condition (intent) which is bringing it about. Large groups of people are sharing the creative intent to pollute the planet and chemicalize Nature. Over 5000 new chemicals are added to the Earths bio-sphere every year. Nature has a response to this just as a mother like to keep a tidy house. The Mother creates pathogens to clean up toxins that Her children will not clean up for themselves. When these bugs/germs get into us they
have a very specific task.
1. They come in response to the energy we are carrying which resonates with the disease.
2. The come with the group belief in susceptibility and denied quilt about the lack of responsibility for the environment.
3. They come because we need them to adjust our lives in ways that we have not taken responsibility for.
4. They come because the Mother will always provide for those unable to fend for themselves and clean up the messes the children leave. In this way the Mother sends germs to clean people out of things that they have not been able to deal with on their own. The seasonal cold or flu is an example of housecleaning done by Nature that could be kept up with all year.
To learn the language of our Body, allows us a great resource on the Path to Self discovery and Self appreciation.
“The Body does not lie.”
Acceptance Brings Power
Disease carries a variety of personal Purposes. Generally, to be dis-eased, you would seek out what you were not at ease with. Take back in that which has been estranged and an ease of being is experienced. All our parts must feel their right place. If we are not at ease with one or more of our expressions i.e.
Intelligence, emotional maturity, power, social value or any other feature that makes up our life expression, then we alienate that aspect and take it out of its’ right place as part of our totality. This type of judgment on our Selves and the fragmentation and loss of ease between all the parts of our nature bring disease into the body.
It has been said that the disease is the cure. This is true but it is not the only cure. The disease is an arbitrary messengerwhich carries a very important message. If we force away the messenger with drugs or denial we will never get the message. In most cases, the messenger refuses to leave until we get the message. (chronic illness) Constant pain can not be denied.
As soon as we are able to receive impressions, we are told what not to feel. The Body is the vehicle which feels. Not until all the Body feeling are given a place of purpose will the Body reveal the knowledge it has to offer. When Purpose brings something into our life, it is not just any purpose. It is our Purpose. This comes from our Soul and it is only our Purpose which has any meaning to us. This is where acceptance comes in. It is only our Purpose which can move our world because the Will of our Body will not respond to any other direction other than that of our Spirit. Can you accept this? Body can not be fooled. It can not be taken over by another unless it is given away. If we do not take total responsibility for our movement, we have already given part of our power away. This reduces the ability of the Body to heal Itself. It has “lost” some of its’ Will.
What the Body Knows
When we begin taking responsibility for the signals we are getting from our Body, we realize that it is leading us toward physical Immortality. We realize that it knows everything it needs to know to bring absolute health to its Self. Once it no longer must hold old messages that we have refused to look at, it can reveal what it knows about feeling, living and creating. Within the Body/Will is everything there is to know about the physical world. It is part of the Mother and when we understand our piece of the Mother we also understand Her and Her Creation. There can be no dis-ease when Body and Spirit are in Harmony and Balance. When one begins to feel loving acceptance for the Body, the Body responds on an energetic and on a chemical level. Energetically, energy is incoming which strengthens the physical and emotional vitality.
On a chemical level, the hypothalamus creates neuro-peptides which speak empowerment to all the cells in the Body. When there is no guilt to divert our thought away from perfection, the Body is quick to reproduce this on a cellular level.
It has been said that our biography becomes our biology. It is however, our response to our biography that the Body actually feels and recreates. By giving our history a Purpose which supports and validates our Present, we create a biology of our own design.
A Picture of Health
What is health after healing. It is everything you imagine it to be because it is in your future as accessed by your imagination. It has been said that “in one who fills themselves with life, there is no place for death to enter.” When we connect with the vitality of Life that the Body has to offer the World becomes a place of Beauty and Potential. We are only attracted to chaos free (non processed) foods because our self acceptance has brought us Harmony. We are more attracted to live foods because death is seen to be only an option. This raises our electrical levels and increases our energy and the speed of our thoughts. Higher electrical levels activate latent DNA, speed healing from damage and bring the Body above the frequency disease lives at. Health is much more than what is popularly thought. This is because no one has been really healthy for many generations. What we have been experiencing is varying rates of decay. Presently humans grow for about 25 years and degenerate for the next 50. This says that the race is dying twice as fast as it is growing. There are many ways to rethink the nature of physical health. One of these is connecting with the potential for physical immortality.

From Ponder On This
Alice Baliey
This rule might be summed up in the trite instruction to each disciple that he be strictly vegetarian. The lower nature becomes clogged and heavy, and the inner blaze cannot shine forth when meat is included in the diet. This is a drastic rule for applicants, and may not be violated. Aspirants can choose to eat meat or not as they prefer, but at a certain stage upon the path it is essential that all meat eating of every kind be stopped, and the strictest attention must be paid to diet. A disciple must confine himself to vegetables, grains, fruits and nuts. Only thus can he build the type of physical body which can stand the entry of the real man who has stood in his subtler bodies before the Initiator. Should he not do this, and should it be possible for him to take initiation without having thus prepared himself, the physical body would be shattered by the energy pouring through the newly stimulated centers, and dire danger to the brain, the spine, or the heart would eventuate.
It must, of course, here be recognized that no hard or fast rules can ever be laid down, except the initial one that for all applicants for initiation meat, fish, and fermented liquors of all kinds, as well as the use of tobacco, are absolutely forbidden. For those who can stand it, eggs and cheese are sometimes better eliminated from the diet, but this is not in any way compulsory. It is advisable always that those who are in process of developing psychic faculties of any kind should not permit themselves to eat eggs and very little cheese. Milk and butter come under a different category, and most initiates and applicants find it necessary to retain them in the diet. A few exceptional people can subsist and retain their full physical energies on the diet mentioned in the preceding paragraph, but there the ideal is embodied, and, as we all know, the ideal is seldom attainable in the present transitional period.
In this connection two things should be emphasized: First, the need that all applicants have for common sense; this factor is very often lacking, and students do well to remember that unbalanced fanatics are not desirable members of the Hierarchy. Equilibrium, a just sense of proportion, a due regard for environing conditions, and a sane common sense are the marks of the true occultist. When a real sense of humour exists likewise, many dangers will be avoided. Secondly, a recognition of time, and an ability to move slowly when effecting changes in the diet and in the habits of a lifetime. Everything in nature progresses slowly, and applicants must learn the occult truth of the words:—"Make haste slowly." A process of gradual elimination is usually the path of wisdom, and this eliminating period should—under ideal conditions which so seldom exist—cover the stage which we call that of the aspirant, so that when a man becomes an applicant for initiation he will have done the necessary preparatory purification of the diet.

Dietary Supplementation
Until one has the capabilities to regenerate the dense physical at will, steps can be taken to keep the body functioning at the highest frequency or most non degenerative level as possible.
Make no mistake ~ birth is difficult, be it physical or spiritual. As we break down barriers that have been in place for centuries we experience many denials that have held the illusion in place. As the body is a reflector of our inner state of being - a mirror as it were - it can experience many things that border on psychosis.
But this breakdown must be endured as we recreate ourselves in our own image.
Pure water -pure food- and pure air are the basis for a healthy physical form. A mindful diet is a place to start.
To this we add rational thought and loving self acceptance for a healthy astral or feeling form.
It is our belief that this process can be aided by supplementing a vegetarian diet with food concentrates and antioxidants. Many of the stresses of unfolding spiritually can be offset with this type of support.
Remember - they to are a tool for the reconstruction of your form

To this we add rational thought and loving self acceptance for a healthy astral or feeling form.
It is our belief that this process can be aided by supplementing a vegetarian diet with food concentrates and antioxidants. Many of the stresses of unfolding spiritually can be offset with this type of support.
Remember - they to are a tool for the reconstruction of your form
What is a "free radical?'
Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that can cause damage to living cells (and hence cause disease). Free radicals are thought to be a byproduct from a number of causes including environmental factors, unhealthy food, smoking, radiation and a number of other sources.
Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress is essentially an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are chemical compounds that are able to quench the effects of free radicals. Scientist have now identified a number of these antioxidants. Most are naturally occurring plant compounds such as plant phenolics, carotenoids such as Vitamin A or E and some organic acids such as Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
Phi Sciences - Mega Hydrate
Since 1981 Flanagan has invented a series of useful devices and products based on water and specific mineral structures, in the area of health. Several of these have been very successful in the marketplace. His identification of the special properties of the negative hydride ion while once ridiculed got serious attention when the Nobelist Chandrasekhar proposed it as a major component in far space. Several scientific papers by Flanagan, about Silica Hydride have been published in peer reviewed journals such as the ‘International Journal of Hydrogen Energy’, and ‘Free Radical Biology and Medicine’.
Flanagan actively continues his activities as scientist and inventor and philanthropist, promoting the really new science and new approaches to human healing, especially those based on the great traditions of India and Egypt.
WHAT IS THE FLANAGAN SILICA MICROCLUSTER®The Flanagan silica Microcluster® is a mineral that is the 243rd form of silica discovered. Only a few angstroms wide (one ten billionth of a meter), the silica is in the shape of many small spheres clustered together.
The main benefits of the silica Microcluster® is that it makes Wetter Water®, allowing greater detoxification and nutrient absorption. The silica Microcluster® also balances pH, makes water taste fresher and ultimately increases hydration for better skin, more energy and a sharper mind.
This form of silica Microcluster® is special and unique because if its incredibly tiny size that allows the spherical configuration to expand and contract based on the pH of the surrounding fluid. The spheres capture toxins and allow the body to flush them safely.
Due to poisoning of the environment, air, food and water, detoxification is more important than ever before in recorded human history.
Scientific studies validate that ionized hydrogen delivered into the bloodstream is the most powerful free radical scavenger available. The problem with most antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, etc.) is becoming free radicals themselves after neutralizing other free radicals.
Silica Hydride has been tested for effectiveness against the most harmful and abundant free radicals including, but not limited to, singlet oxygen, super-oxide, and hydroxyl radicals. In all of the tests, Silica Hydride not only eliminated the free radicals by neutralizing them, but did not become a radical itself, and did not create a toxic environment. The byproduct of most of reactions between Silica Hydride and a free radical is Hydrogen gas and water. Silica Hydride is the only antioxidant that does not become a free radical itself after neutralizing other free radicals.

Resveratrol exists in two different isomers, trans-resveratrol and cis-resveratrol. The prefixes refer to the shape of the molecule. Researchers have identified trans-resveratrol as the biologically active of the two isomers, which means it’s in a form the body can absorb and use.Emodin is in most all Resveratrol supplements. Emodin is what causes some people to experience stocmach cramping and stomach upset when taking Resveratrol, Therefore Our Resveratrol is Emodin Free.
Resveratrol, the ingredient in red wine that may help us live longer, may also help us run faster longer.
The New York Times reports that when researchers gave resveratrol to laboratory mice, the mice were able to run twice as far as resveratrol-free mice before collapsing from exhaustion. The research, conducted at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Illkirch, France, and published in Cell, suggests that resveratrol influenced mice also have energy-charged muscles and a reduced heart rate, just as trained athletes do.
Mitochondria are the organelles in the body’s cells that generate energy. With extra mitochondria, treated mice were able to burn more fat and thus avoid weight gain and decreased sensitivity to insulin, Dr. Auwerx said. He found their muscle fibers had been remodeled by the drug into the type more prevalent in trained human athletes.
