"It is true that all who suffer are victims of themselves alone. All illnesses are generated and supported from within the patient himself, appearances to the contrary notwithstanding. The secret behind the 'contagious' illnesses is this: there is an immense thought-form for each such disease, and this thought-form is the result of a coalescence in The Aether of negative thought or emotional energy which is generated by thousands, even millions, of the very kinds of individuals which it tends to attack. Thus, the persons who are afflicted by contagious disease, epidemics, and the like have themselves created the thought-form which has coalesced and is running rampant."
"Since these people have had a part in generating the contagion, is it surprising that the disease should be attracted back to their own bodies? We have explained elsewhere that thought-forms always tend to 'home in' on their originators, and the same is true in the case of the contagious disease epidemics which are periodically encountered. Hence it is Man, and Man alone, Who is responsible for all of his ills. The sooner The Race recognizes this fact, the sooner the battle against disease can be won."
"The nature of illness has been hidden from Mankind since his inception on The Planet. He thinks that when He becomes ill He has simply run into bad luck and has caught some form of virus or bacteria which happened along quite by chance. He therefore turns all of his effort against the physical manifestation of the illness or affliction rather than attacking its true source."
"The specific and immediate cause of all viral and bacterial illnesses is not at The Physical Level but at The Aetheric Level. The Aether is the natural abode for what may be termed disease agents. These agents exist primarily in The Aether, and the bodies which they may be said to have are entirely aetheric. However, when these disease agents are allowed into a living physical body, they are enabled to condense a part of themselves into physical matter within the host vehicle. The condensed matter then appears as the familiar virus or bacteria."
"In attempting to combat and eliminate the physical condensate of the disease agent, Man has been attacking a symptom of the presence of the agent rather than the agent itself. The success that Man has had with various chemical means has been due to the ability of these chemicals, by interfering with the physical condensate, to discourage the aetheric agent from remaining in the physical body. The agent thus leaves of its own accord but cannot be considered driven out by the chemicals."
"Disease agents do not have free access at all times to all physical bodies. The Aetheric Counterpart of the human body is a many-layered sheath which constitutes quite good protection against these agents under normal circumstances. However, the aetheric sheath can be ruptured or weakened at certain specific locations through accidental impacts against portions of the physical counterpart. When someone bangs his elbow particularly hard, for example, a small opening or breach in the aetheric sheath is created, and this opening can persist for a long time after the physical symptoms of the impact have disappeared. The aetheric sheath does gradually knit itself together, but the process is slower than the healing of the physical."
"During the time that aetheric openings of this kind persist, they allow disease agents to have access to the physical body. This is why it is often observed that a viral or bacterial infestation occurs at a location of the physical body which had previously been banged or knocked in some accidental way."
"The best procedure for ridding the body not only of the physical condensate of a disease agent but also of the agent itself is a 2-step process involving the inert gases and heat treatment. The first step in the treatment of viral and bacterial illness is to rid the body of the agent itself through the use of a beam from the lower phase excitation of the inert gases. The second step is to utilize infra-red heat to allow the aetheric sheath to knit itself together more quickly than normally would happen and heal the breach which allowed the disease agent to enter the physical body."
"We have used the term disease agent when referring to the man-made thought-forms which cause illness. Thought fueled by emotion brings about acute and chronic illness. There are ways of creating aetheric forms which We call thought-forms, this process involving negative emotion. Whenever an individual is in the grip of any emotion, he creates a specific aetheric form or thought-form which has the same basic nature as the emotion. If the emotion is that of resentment, the thought-form is of a certain quality. If the emotion is fear or greed or worry or whatever, the thought-form is always of a matching quality or vibration."
"Now, the human body has many different organs and systems in it, each one having a different basic quality or vibration. When a person projects an emotional thought-form of a negative kind, that thought-form is automatically attracted to a particular part or organ of the individual's body which is closest in vibration to the thought-form. The form (or disease agent) then goes to that part, settles there, and (if it can) begins to alter the function or the structure of that body part to suit itself."
"Mononucleosis is a disease which is caused by a thought-form that many young people project through the emotion of being tired of doing something. Often it is school work that they are tired of, but regardless of where this emotion is focused, the ideas of lassitude and tiredness are present. Now, the bodily system that is closest in quality to 'tiredness' is the lymph system which includes the spleen, the lymph passages and nodes, and the tonsils. This is because the lymph system is the 'laziest' system of the body. It depends on other systems to act as its pump -- whether muscular, blood, or respiratory. Therefore, it is natural for the Mononucleosis thought-form (or disease agent) to attack the lymph system."
"Many doctors believe that Mononucleosis is infectious, that is, that it can be transmitted from one person to another. In a sense, they are right, but they do not fully understand the mechanism of the transfer between 2 persons. The transfer takes place strictly at The Aetheric Level, since that is The Level at Which the thought-form exists. But the person who 'picks it up' from the other can only do so if he already has a tendency in the same direction. In other words, he must also have an attitude of being tired of something in his life before the mononucleosis thought-form can really take hold of his lymph system."
"Proof that Mononucleosis is connected with the thought of being tired is that everyone who is attacked by this disease just wants to sleep at first. This is an example of how the symptoms of a disease can be used as a clue to the nature of the thought that creates it."
"All illness is self-created. Those who suffer, suffer but from themselves. The common cold is an affliction which stems from a very widely distributed thought-form which has suffused itself throughout all regions of the earth's surface where Man is living. This thought-form is created by anger which actually results in physical pain upon another -- that is, fisticuffs or fighting."
"When the pain or the focus of the anger is felt by the victim, then the thought-form is created. The thought-form consists partly of anger and partly of the pain. Those who have, in past lives or this life, deliberately struck others in anger (that is the key word) automatically feed the substance of the thought-form. Because the thought-forms are always drawn and attracted to their originators, it is quite natural for this gigantic thought-form related to the 'cold' to be attracted into the bodies of those who feed its substance (whether in this life or in others that are ongoing in the eternal moment of Now). When this happens, the symptoms of a 'cold' are felt."
"Thus, the way to avoid a cold is primarily to suppress and eliminate all feelings of anger and irritation towards another and particularly to avoid striking any other human being in a fit of anger, including children. It is not a 'sin' to discipline children. Indeed, The Creator of the physical body provided a particular portion (We are referring to the buttocks) which is the only part that should be struck if this is ever required. But, when a parent strikes a child in anger, then a great deal of damage is done at the subconscious level to the child and also to the parent."
"In summary, We would say that the disposition in many people to catch the common cold is primarily due to the anger and irritation feelings which they harbor within them. However, the body itself becomes more inclined to develope cold symptoms when it is subjected to the excesses and abuses of diet which are common in most countries of the world. We refer to meat-eating and the intake of large quantities of concentrated sugars. If these abuses of diet were eliminated, Man would find that his tendency to develope cold symptoms would be much lessened."
"The best advice We can give to the 'cold' sufferer, or the sufferer of any acute illness, is to take no food whatever during the course of the sickness. Cause the body to fast, because the fasting phase of the body's experience will allow it to throw off the invading thought-form (disease agent) more rapidly than would otherwise be the case."
