On Fever.
Fever is a basic way of purification and of elimination when needed. Fever indicates trouble but is not a disease in itself. Ponder on this, and apply it on all planes, for physical plane fever has its astral and mental counterparts. It is overexcessive energy which burns up and, in burning, relieves and cures.
Where possible, and when the physical body is strong enough to stand the strain, it is well to let the fever have its way for a time, for it is nature's cure of certain undesirable conditions. Fevers not only give warning of the presence of that which causes distress, but have in themselves definite therapeutic value. Careful watching and balancing is essential — balancing against the energies of the body. As to the cure and the correct treatment of fevers, much is known by the orthodox medical profession.
Over-emotionalism is an astral correspondence of physical fever and indicates a rampant germ of desire which must be dealt with before the fever can subside. An overactive mind which is ill-regulated, very busy but futile in accomplishment, is the mental correspondence.
On the Cure of Cancer.
In all disease of malignant nature, there is a vital core of energy which is absorbing, slowly or quickly the life force in the man. In the early stages of cancer, the vital core is not yet formed. The cure is only possible in the early development of cancer. Then the cure can be brought about, if the will of the patient is invoked.
When there is intelligent cooperation of the one to be healed, healing is possible. The method is by blennding the directed will of the patient and the healing group together into one unit of force. When this has been done, the invoked and concentrated energy will follow thought, under the ancient law, and so stimulate the healthy tissue surrounding the cancer that this healthy tissue can absorb the weakened, diseased tissue.
If the energy is directed to the cancer itself, the cancerous condition will be stimulated and the trouble many times increased. The curing of cancer in the early stages falls therefore into two parts:
1. The stimulating of the healthy tissue.
2. The building in of new tissue to replace the diseased tissue which is being gradually absorbed and driven out.
Cancer always makes its appearance before there is transmutation of the emotional force. There are few who have transmuted emotion. This condition of freedom from emotion is extremely rare at this stage of human evolution.
