The Absent Treatment of Disease - Sheldon Leavitt [ebook]

With Particular Reference to Telepathy


The human mind has two distinct phases becoming at once conspicuous when we enter upon a classification of mental phenomena. Upon one side is the Conscious Self with its experiences and memories — the Self that seemingly does the thinking and willing — and upon the other the Unconscious Self, of which we occasionally have momentary views, the Self that carries on all the organic processes and is responsible for maintenance of conscious and unconscious life through a continual adjustment to ever changing environment. When the enveloping atmosphere rises in temperature this unconscious side of mind opens certain physical safety-valves of the body so that it shall not become over-heated; and, when the atmosphere falls in temperature, the same power closes openings and conserves the heat calories. In case of accident to a part, immediately, without solicitation, and sometimes in the very teeth of conscious despair, this Unconsciousness sends relay after relay of reinforcements to give first and last aid and to guard well the workers. Thus moment after moment does the unconscious mind look after every physical and mental interest and command the forces whose duty it is to operate this "going" physical plant.

The conscious phase of mind has all its energies sufficiently employed in duties and pleasures of its own. It follows a single course and would become overwhelmed and disconcerted by the multiplicity of demands falling under the supervision of the unconscious mind. Inasmuch, then, as the physical is an expression of the mental — a mechanism through which the latter can express itself to sense — are we not driven to infer that back of all physical change lies a mental modification? Must we not see that,with its hand on the lever, the Mind is always consciously determining the action of much complicated machinery. And, since defective action must find its beginning in a modification of some physiological process over which unconsciousness presides, are we not justified in assuming that the TRUE ORIGIN OF DISEASE IS IN THE MIND?
