MAKE A GOOD HABIT
❤❤❤❤
THE PHYSICAL BODY IS A "HOUSE" WHICH THE CREATOR PROVIDED TO SERVE AS A DWELLING PLACE FOR THE MIND! IT IS THE MOT PERFECT MECHANISM EVER PRODUCED, AND IT IS PRACTICALLY SELF-MAINTAINING.
IT HAS A BRAIN WHICH SERVES AS THE CENTRE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, THE COORDINATOR OF ALL BODILY ACTIVITY, AND THE RECEIVER OF ALL SENSE PERCEPTIONS. THE BRAIN IS THE ORGAN WHICH - BY MEANS AS YET UNEXPLAINED BY MEANS AS YET UNEXPLAINED BY SCIENCE - COORDINATES ALL PERCEPTION, KNOWLEDGE AND MEMORY INTO NEW PATTERNS WHICH WE KNOW AS THOUGHT.
THE BRAIN IS THE COMMANDER OF ALL VOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS OF THE BODY, THE CONTROLLER OF ALL INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS CARRIED ON THROUGH THE SUBCONSCIOUS SECTION, SUCH AS BREATHING, THE HEARTBEAT, DIGESTION, CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD, DISTRIBUTION OF NERVOUS ENERGY AND THE LIKE. IT IS THE STOREHOUSE OF ALL KNOWLEDGE, THE INTERPRETER OF THE INFLUENCES OF ENVIRONMENT AND THOUGHT. IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND THE LEAST UNDERSTOOD ORGAN OF THE BODY.
THE BRAIN IS THE HOUSING PLACE OF THE SUBCONSCIOU SECTION OF THE MIND AS WELL AS OF THE CONSCIOUS SECTION, BUT THE ENERGY AND THE INTELLEGENCE WITH WHICH THOUGHT IS PRODUCED FLOW INTO THE BRAIN FROM THE GREAT UNIVERSAL STOREHOUS OF INFINITE INTELLIGENCE, THE BRAIN SERVING ONLY AS A RECEIVER AND AS A DISTRIBUTOR OF THIS ENERGY.
AMONG ITS OTHER DUTIES, THE BRAIN OPERATES A FIRT-CLASS DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY THROUGH WHICH IT BREAKS UP AND ASSIMILATES THE FOOD TAKEN INTO THE STOMACH, LIQUEFIES THE FOOD AND DISTRIBUTES IT, THROUGH THE BLOOD STREAM, TO EVERY PART OF THE BODY WHERE IT IS THIS SERVICE IS PERFORMED AUTOMATICALLY, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN SIMPLE AIDS WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL CAN GIVE THE BRAIN THAT WILL HELP IT TO MAINTAIN SOUND PHYSICAL HEALTH. THE BURDEN OF THIS CHAPTER IS THAT OF DESCRIBING THESE AIDS, VIZ:
1. MENTAL ATTITUDE:
INASMUCH AS THE BRAIN IN THE UNCHALLENGED BOSS OF THE ENTIRE PHYSICAL BODY, WE SHOULD RECOGNIZE AT THE OUTSET THAT SOUND PHYSICAL HEALTH DEMANDS A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE.
SOUND HEALTH BEGINS WITH A PROSPERITY CONSCIOUSNESS, JUST AS FINANCIAL SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A PROSPERITY CONSCIOUSNESS! AND LET IT BE HERE EMPHASIZED THAT NO ONE EVER SUCCEEDS FINANCIALLY WITHOUT THAT PROSPERITY CONSCIOUNESS, NOR DOES ONE ENJOY SOUND PHYSICAL HEALTH WITHOUT A HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS. PONDER THIS STATEMENT, FOR IT CONVEYS A TRUTH THAT IS OF PARAMOUNT BENEFIT IN THE MAINTENANCE OF SOUND PHYSICAL HEALTH.
TO MAINTAIN A HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS ONE MUST THINK IN TERMS OF SOUND HEALTH, IN TERMS OF ILLNESS AND DISEASE, FOR WE MUST INTO EXISTENCE, WHETHER IT BE FINANCIAL SUCCESS OR PHYSICAL HEALTH.
EMIL COUE, THE FRENCH PSYCHOLOGIST, GAVE THE WORLD, IN ONE SENTENCE, A VERY SIMPLE BUT PRACTICAL FORMULA FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF A HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS, DAY BY DAY, IN EVERY WAY, I AM GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, HE RECOMMENDE THAT THIS SENTENCE BE REPEATED THOUSANDS OF TIMES, DAILY, UNTIL THE SUBCONSCIOUS SECTION OF THE MIND PICKED IT UP. ACCEPTED IT AND BEGAN TO CARRY IT OUT TO ITS LOGICAL CONCLUSION, IN THE FORM OF SOUND HEALTH.
THE WISE ONES SMILED, NPOT TOO TOLERANTLY, WHEN THEY HEARD OF THE COUE FORMULA. THE NOT-SO-WISE ACCEPTED IT IN GOOD FAITH, PUT IT TO WORK IN EARNEST, AND DISCOVERED THAT IS PRODUCED MARVELOURS RESULTS, FOR IT STARTED THEM ON THE ROAD TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS. AND HERE IS THE REASON WHY A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF SOUND HEALTH.
(A) ALL THOUGHT ENERGY, WHETHER IS IT POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, IS CARRIED TO EVERY CELL OF THE BODY AND THERE DEPOSITED AS ENERGY ON WHICH THE CELLS OPERATE.
(B) THE ENERGY OF THOUGHT IS CARRIED TO THE CELLS OF THE BODY THROUGH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE BLOOD STREAM, FOR IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE BODY CHEMIST MIXES THE ENERGY OF THOUGHT WITH EVERY PARTICLE OF FOOD THAT IS ASSIMILATED AND MAE READY FOR PROJECTION INTO THE BLOOD STREAM.
POSITIVE EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS TRUE MAY BE FOUND IN THE FACT THAT THE MOTHER WHO NURSES HER CHILD FROM THE BREAST MAY POISON HER MILK BY WORRY OR FEAR, SO THAT HER CHILD WILL BECOME ILL WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AFTER TAKING THE MILK.
AND AGAIN, IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT ANY FORM OF WORRY, FEAR, ANGER, JEALOUSY OR HATRED THAT ONE MAY EXPERIENCE WHILE EATING WILL CAUSE THE FOOD TO FERMENT IN THE STOMACH WITHOUT ASSIMILATING, AND INDIGESTION IS THE NATURAL RESULT.
TO MAINTAIN A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE SUTABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF A SOUND HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS, THE MIND MUST BE KEPT FREE OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND INFLUENCE THROUGH SELF-DISCIPLINE AND ESTABLISED HABITS.
THERE MUST BE A "CRABBING" OR FAULT-FINDING. THAT HURTS THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS.
THERE MUST BE NO SUSTAINED HATRED, FOR HATRED ATTRACTS REPRISALS IN KIND UPSETS DIGESTION. THERE MUST BE NO FEAR, IT IDICATES FRICTION IN HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS, LACK OF HARMONY AND UNDERSTANDING WITHIN ONE'S MIND, AND DISCOURAGES DIGESTION.
THERE MUST BE TALK ABOUT ILLNESS AND DESEASE ! FOR THAT LEADS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORST OF ALL DISEASES - A DESEASE KNOWN TO THE DOCTORS AS "HYPOCHODRIA" WHICH MEANS, IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE LAYMAN, IMAGINARY ILLNESS. IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT THREE FOURTHS OF ALL PATIENTS WHO VISIT DOCTORS, OFFICES FOR TREATMENT ARE SUFFERING WITH NOTHING MORE THAN IMAGINARY ILLNESSES.
2. EATING HABITS:
THIS SUBJECT IS WORTHY OF AN ENTIRE BOOK, BUT INASMUCH AS THERE ARE MANY WELL WRITTEN BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT, WE SHALL HERE CONFINE OURSELVES TO A FEW SIMPLE RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH ARE ON THE MUST LIST OF ALL WHO WOULD ENJOY SOUND HEALTH.
THE "MUSTS" OF CORRECT EATING
(A) FIRST, THERE MUST BE NO OVER-EATING! IT OVER WORKS THE HEART, LIVER, KIDNEYS, AND THE SEWER SYSTEM. A SIMPLE WAY TO OBSERVE THIS ADMONITION IS THE HABIT OF GETTING UP FROM THE TABLE BEFORE ONE IS THOUROUGHLY SATISFIED. THE HABIT WILL BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO ACQUIRE, BUT ONCE, IT HAS DEVELOPED IT WILL PAY OFF IN BIG DIVIDENDS, CONSISTING IN MAN BENEFITS - AMONG THEM A GREAT SAVING IN DOCTOR'S BILLS.
OVER-EATING IS A FORM OF INTEMPERANCE WHICH MAY BE, AND IT OFTEN IS, JUST AS INJURIOUS AS INTEMPERANCE IN DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, OR IN THE TAKING OF NARCOTICS.
(B) ONE MUST EAT BALANCED RATION, CONSISTING OF AT LEAST A FAIR PROPORTION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, BECAUSE THESE CONTAIN THE SIXTEEN MAJOR MINERAL ELEMENTS WHICH NATURE REQUIRES IN THE BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PHYSICAL BODY. NO VEGETABLE CONTAINS ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS, THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE BODY WITH THE BUILDING MATERIAL IT REQUIRES ONE MUST EAT A VARIETY OF FOOD THAT IS PRODUCED BY NATURE FROM THE SOIL OF THE EARTH.
MOREOVER, ONE MUST BE SURE THAT THE VEGETABLES HE EATS CONTAIN ALL THE MINERAL ELEMENTS THAT NATURE DEMANDS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE DETERMINDED BY THE APPEARANCE OF THE VEGETABLE ALONE.
IN MOST PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES THE SOIL HAS BEEN SO LONG ABUSED BY NEGLECT, IN NOT GIVING BACK TO IT THE PROPER KIND FERTILIZATION THAT IT NO LONGER CONTAINS ALL OF THE ELEMENTS IT NEEDS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HEALTHFUL FOOD. PARTICULARLY IS THIS TRUE IN THE SOUTH, WHERE THE SOIL HAS BEEN "MILKED" FOR GENERATIONS BY THE GROWTH OF CORN AND COTTON, UNTIL IS DEFICIENT IN MANY OF THE MINERALS NATURE ORIGINALLY PROVIDED.
FOOD THAT IS LACKING IN THE NECESSARY MINERAL ELEMENTS FERMENTS IN THE ALIMENTARY CANAL, DECAYS AND ST UPS A CONDITION KNOWN AS TOXIC POISONING. THUS, DEFICIENT FOOD NOT ONLY FAILS TO SUPPLY THE BODY WITH THE MINERAL ELEMENTS IT NEEDS TO CARRY ON ITS MAINTENANCE WORK, BUT IT ACTUALLY CREATES A POISON WHICH MAY PROVIDE THE BEGINNING OF A GREAT VARIETY OF DISEASES. SOME DOCTORS HAVE FRANKLY ADMITTED THAT MOT DISEASE BEGIN IN THE ALIMENTARY CANAL, BECAUSE OF IMPROPER DIGESTION.
