Developing the Power to Remove Illnesses from the Physical Body

1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,600
An illness is a vibrational
pattern that impacts the body

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,720
and its normal operations.
If one does not succeed in

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,760
rejecting it before it breaks
through the protective vital

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,520
sheath, and then if one fails to
prevent it from taking hold at

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,720
all in the physical body, one is
left with having to deal with

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,680
the illness that is active in
the body and vibrating the

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,560
physical substance.
As we see with all physical

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,400
forms, they attain a type of
solidity that makes them less

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,720
malleable and able to be dealt
with, and the physical body

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,720
shares some of that attribute.
Thus, an illness, once it gets

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,960
into the body, requires
substantially more effort to

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,520
remove than if it could be kept
out in the first place.

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,400
It is, however, not impossible
to do this.

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,320
The body has its own defense
mechanisms, including the entire

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,560
action of the immune system to
destroy invading organisms or

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,800
slow down or prevent their
reproduction, and the setup of

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,120
the corresponding vibrational
patterns.

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Many of the symptoms we
experience are due to the action

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,720
of the immune system when it
comes up against the victor that

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,120
it is trying to take control,
the body.

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Certain actions can help
strengthen the body's response

22
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,800
to the illness, including the
use of a will that can

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,000
strengthen both the immune
response and the vital sheath.

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,080
Acute illnesses generally can be
dealt with more easily, as they

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,840
are by definition not as deeply
embedded or in control of the

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,200
body.
Once an illness becomes chronic,

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,440
there's an implication that it
has begun to change the physical

28
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,280
substance and embedded itself
more deeply, thus making it more

29
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,280
difficult but not impossible to
remove.

30
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,520
There's a qualitative difference
when it comes to physical

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,960
changes, particularly
destructive changes that take

32
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,040
place either from an embedded
disease or due to either

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,280
congenital or acquired
infirmities that change the body

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,920
itself.
Similarly, a disease that has

35
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:18,560
become entrenched in the being
can bring about massive physical

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,240
changes that may remain even if
the disease is eventually

37
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,480
dispelled.
At our current stage of

38
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,720
evolutionary development, we are
unable, for instance, to regrow

39
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,800
limbs or organs that have
suffered partial destruction.

40
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,480
The progression of the disease
may be stopped, but the

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,960
restoration of destroyed tissue
may not be possible for most.

42
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,960
There is of course research
ongoing, for instance about

43
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,120
regrowing lost teeth or limbs,
both of which are possible in

44
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,480
certain species in the animal
Kingdom, and for which there may

45
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,320
be genes that are simply
inactivated in the human DNA.

46
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Should we at some point gain
access to these genes and be

47
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,280
able to activate them,
restoration of parts of the

48
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,960
physical body could indeed
become a reality.

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,080
Similarly, work with stem cells
seems to indicate that entire

50
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,320
organs could be regrown at some
point.

51
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,000
Again, this is a potential
future line of development to

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,720
address the destruction of
tissue that can occur if a

53
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,640
disease becomes chronic and
destructive of physical

54
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:35,200
substance, or in the case of
either physical trauma or

55
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,760
congenital issues.
There is thus a hierarchy of

56
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640
action in the case of dealing
with physical diseases.

57
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,400
First, the will to not allow the
vector to penetrate the vital

58
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,960
sheath is the first line of
action, and this can be done as

59
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,640
the awareness and the
strengthening of the vitality

60
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,080
and the aura develop.
Second is to reduce or eliminate

61
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,400
acute conditions that have
reached the body.

62
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,800
Third is to develop the ability
to remove chronic conditions.

63
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,160
Finally, there is the
potentiality to reverse physical

64
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,480
damage at some point, whether
with the help of biotechnology

65
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,480
or through some kind of inner
transformative practice that we

66
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,120
have generally not yet
developed, Srioro Bindu observes

67
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,400
quote.
Certainly one can act from

68
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,320
within on an illness and cure
it.

69
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,160
Only it is not always easy.
As there is much resistance in

70
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,280
matter, a resistance of inertia
and untiring persistence is

71
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:42,440
necessary.
At first one may fail altogether

72
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,640
and the symptoms increase, but
gradually the control of the

73
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,720
body or of a particular illness
becomes stronger again.

74
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,560
To cure an occasional attack of
illness by inner means is

75
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,320
comparatively easy.
To make the body immune from it

76
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,920
in future is more difficult.
A chronic malady is harder to

77
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,320
deal with, more reluctant to
disappear entirely, than an

78
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,760
occasional disturbance of the
body, so long as the control of

79
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,280
the body is imperfect.
There are all these and other

80
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:20,640
imperfections and difficulties
in the use of the inner force.

81
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000
If you can succeed by the
interaction in preventing

82
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,040
increase, even that is
something.

83
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,480
You have then by abhyasa to
strengthen the power till it

84
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,080
becomes able to cure.
Note that so long as the power

85
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,800
is not entirely there, some aid
of physical means need not be

86
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,040
altogether rejected.
