The Power of the Will
This power---which has ever been recognized in Occultism as the spiritual energy in man, one in kind with that which sends forth, supports, and calls in the worlds--- is now being groped after in the outer world, and is being almost unconsciously used by many as a means of bringing about results otherwise unattainable. The schools of Christian Science, Mental Science, Mind cure, etc., are all dependent for their results on the outflowing power of the Will. Diseases yield to that flow of energy, and not only nervous disorders as some imagine. Nervous disorders yield the most readily, because the nervous system has been shaped for the expression of spiritual powers on the physical plane. The results are the most rapid where the sympathetic system is first worked upon, for that is the more directly related to the aspect of Will, in the form of Desire, as the cerebro-spinal is more directly related to the aspects of Cognition and of pure Will. The dispersion of tumours, cancers, etc., and the destruction of their causes, the curing of lesions and bone fractures, imply for the most part considerable knowledge on the part of the healer. I say "for the most part" because it is possible that the Will may be guided from the higher plane even where physical plane knowledge is lacking, in the case of an operator at an advanced stage of evolution. The method of cure, where knowledge is present, would be as follows. The operator would form a mental picture of the affected organ in a state of perfect health, creating that part in mental stuff by the imagination; he would then build into it astral matter, thus densifying the image, and would then use the force of magnetism to densify it further by etheric matter, building the denser materials of gases, liquids, and solids into this mould, utilizing the materials available in the body and supplying from outside any deficiencies. In all this, the Will is the guiding energy, and such manipulation of matter is simply a question of knowledge, whether on this or on the higher planes. There is not the danger in cures wrought by this method that accompanies those wrought by an easier, and therefore commoner, system, by the working on the sympathetic system alluded to above
_The Power of the Will_ Good morning Sushama. It seems that healing works best on an unconscious level, especially before the illness has been diagnosed (IMO)... that once the conscious mind gets mixed up in anything, it tends to over complicate things. Can you imagine all the times we've healed ourselves over the years, and that we were consciously unaware it? Seems to often work best letting nature take it's course (as if we have a choice :). Hope you've had a good day! Here, it has barely started.
ReplyDelete+Anna .a The conscious mind does intervene and obstruct; you are right. Faith is essential, accompanied by love. I knew a person; he was our Guru; he was a healer. We had faith in him. Blind or rational, faith is just faith. He was a great support to his followers.
DeleteFaith, belief, hope... there is a shortage of those things in our Western culture. I know you're right though, that faith and belief can accomplish miracles, can move mountains. The conscious mind obstructs, as you see... with all it's questioning logic. A very good discussion you written above Sushama. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove generates faith. Itis no love ordinary which generates faith. It is one with affirmation of energy. Must we, and do we, question that love? Again, it is the conscious mind which doubts love , and when we allow that smart mind to obstruct, love turns into morbid , sour anger. Love is just what it is, an affirmation of life. When we take it as affirmation a great deal of laceration turns into liberating force. The energy is liberated and it does its work .
ReplyDeleteHello Sushama...I truly liked this article..very refreshing to say the least. It has the very power of the will in each word , I found myself... like the pen is mightier than the sword!:)
