Part Twenty-Two - Introduction

In Part Twenty-two you will find that thoughts are spiritual seeds, which, when planted in the subconscious mind, have a tendency to sprout and grow, but unfortunately the fruit is frequently not to our liking.

The various forms of vitality, freedom of movement, calmness and healthy conditions generally, are the manifestation of courage, serenity, peace, silence, generosity, love and similar thought.

The life processes are carried on by two distinct methods; first, the taking up and making use of nutritive material necessary for constructing cells; second, breaking down and excreting the waste material.

All life is based upon these constructive and destructive activities, and as food, water and air are the only requisites necessary for the construction of cells, it would seem that the problem of prolonging life indefinitely would not be a very difficult one.

However strange it may seem, it is the first or constructive activity that is, with rare exception, the cause of all health. The new material accumulates and feeds the tissues, which causes growth. This may be partial or general. In the first case the growth will be local; in the second place it will affect the whole system.

Therefore to heal, increase the inflow and distribution of vital energy throughout the system, and this can only be done by creating thoughts of courage, serenity, peace, calmness, generosity, love, and every other constructive thought, which tend to build up and repair the nerves and glands which control the excretion and elimination of waste matter.

Nourishing foods and strengthening tonics cannot bestow life, because these are but secondary manifestations to life. The primary manifestation of life and how you may get in touch with it is explained in the Part which I have the privilege of enclosing herewith.
