Mental Therapeutics: How to Heal Oneself and Others Theron Q. Dumont. This study was inspired b...
It is Mind that heals all. Everything else just facilitates Minds' ability to do so.
1. Lesson One: The Science of Mental Healings
1.1. "Mental Therapeutices is neither a religion, nor a theology; it is a scientific system of healing by natural means and methods." Pg. 2
1.2. The mind has complete control over the body. Pg. 3
1.3. "By knowing just how the organs of the body function in health, the practioiner is better able to picture in the mind of the patient (and in his own mind) exactly what conditions are desired to be created...." Pg. 3
1.4. "True knowledge does not consist of a parrot like memorizing or repetition of long words, or foreign terms; rather does it consist of an understanding of the real meaning of the things described; particularly as regards the question of 'how they work.'" Pg. 4
2. Lesson Two: The Corporeal Mind - The Corporeal Mind = The great indewelling mind which is the active spirit of our physical functions and bodily life.
2.1. "One of the first things the student of Mental Therapeutics should learn is this : That the human body is not a mass of mindless matter, but is, instead, as truly an organ of the mind as is the brain, although its mental work is along different lines." Pg. 5
2.2. Every body part, down to the cells, have "mind immanent within" them, "and acting through" them. Pg. 5
2.2.1. They each have their own mental nature
2.3. It's not mind over matter, it's mind over mind. Pg. 5
2.4. Corporeal means, "pertaining to the body." Pg. 5
2.4.1. Corporeal Mind = Bodily Mind
2.4.1.1. Also known as the Subconcious Mind
2.4.1.1.1. The Subconcious Mind performs 80% of bodily functions. The other 20% is Concious Mind
2.5. The Subconcious Mind Responds to ideas, orders, and suggestions from the concious mind of its owner. Pg. 6
2.6. "Suggestion gains force by repetition." Pg. 8
2.7. "...The Corporeal Mind then proceeds to manifest into reality and physical form and function the idea so placed within it, and which it accepts as truth in absence of opposing ideas." Pg. 8
2.7.1. "In this way many persons have developed conditions of disease from purely mental causes, and many have died from the logical development of such diseases. Many persons are made ill from fear and suggestion of contagion and infection. Many persons acquire disease by reasons of vivid pictures placed in their minds through reading newspaper discriptions of disease, patent medicine advertisements, etc. It is a fact known to all officials of the medical schools that students frequently 'take on' all the symptoms of the diseases they are studying about in their text-books."
3. Lesson Three: The Cells of the Body
3.1. "The corporeal cells are those very minute elementary structures of which the organic tissues are composed." Pg. 9
3.2. "...every human body is in reality a great community of cells, grouped and associated, coordinated and combined for cooperative work and functioning, yet each a separate living organism." Pg. 9
3.3. "A clear understanding of the mental activities of the cells will go far toward giving us a key to the secret of mental healing." Pg. 12
4. Lesson Four: Mind in the Cells
4.1. "...it is discovered that the cells manifest rudimentary memory." Pg. 13
4.2. The Corporeal Mind/Mind in the cells all seem to communicate telepathically. Pg. 14
4.3. "..."to all intents and purposes each organ of the body may be regarded as a living creature, having a mind of its own." Pg. 14
4.4. Disease is a failure of the cells to function properly. Pg. 16
4.4.1. Therefore, disease can only be cured by returning the cells to their natural state.
5. Lesson Five: The Sympathetic Nervous System
5.1. "The term 'sympathetic' was originally applied to this great system of nerves and nerve centers by reason of the fact tha tthere is a reciprocal action of the different cell groups and parts of the body, one with another, in an apparent 'sympathy' with each other. Pg. 17
5.2. "The Sympathetic Nervous System consists of a great cable of nerves running from the base of the skull to the coccyx or end of the spinal column; but not within the spinal column itself, as is the case with teh cerebro spinal cable or spinal cord. These cables run on each side of the body by the side of the vertebrae; and bunch out into ganglia or nerve centers along their course. Pg. 17
5.3. "The principal plexus is the well known 'Solar Plexus,' which some have called 'the Abdominal Brain' by reason of its high power, and complex arrangement. This important plexus ... is the headquarters of the Corporeal Mind" Pg. 18
5.4. "The way to reach the organs of the body is unquestionably through the Corporeal Mind" Pg. 18
5.5. "...the Corporeal Mind is not only teh great regulator and governer of teh physical activities, but also the great natural physician of the body." Pg. 18
5.5.1. "The basis for trea healing is found in the Corporeal Mind..."
5.5.1.1. The Corporeal Mind can be spawned into action through proper insentive and intentional focus, by means of "proper incentive.
5.5.1.1.1. Conversely, the Corporeal Mind can also contribute to sickness when put under undue conditions.
5.6. "Next to false ideas, perhaps. Fear is the most potent factor in this mental causation of disease. Fear paralyzes the activities of the Corporeal Mind, and prevents it from doing its work properly and efficiently. Pg. 20
6. Lesson Six: Mental Causes of Disease
6.1. "For, let us not try to escape this truth, mind turned in the wrong direction will as surely cause disease, as mind turned in the right direction will cure disease." Pg. 21
6.2. "My experiments show that irascible, malevolent and depressing emotions generate in teh syste injurious compounds, some of which are extreely poisonous; also that agreeable, happy emotions generate chemical compounds of nutricious value, which stimulates the cells t manufacture energy."(Prof. Elmer Gates) Pg. 21
6.3. "...a hysterical patient will manage to counterfieit, and thus eventually to actually induce, a great range of physical disorders."Pg. 23
6.4. "...the Corporeal Mind which has control of he functions of the physical body, from great to small, simple to complex, is amenable to suggestion or insinuated ideas -- either those of other persons, or those which are 'picked up' by the concious mind of the person himself." Pg. 23
6.5. "...the real cause of many cases and forms of physical disorders and disease is to be found in these suggested or acquired ideas or thoughts which have been accepted by the Corporeal Mind, and subsequently manifested into objective forms, states and conditions." Pgs. 23 -24
6.6. "Try to discover the root of the trouble, and manage to kill it out at the same time you are remedying the manifestations arising from its presence in the mind of the patient. This, and this alone, is true and complete mental healing of disease." Pg. 24
7. Lesson Seven: The Fundemental Prinicple of Cure
7.1. "The healing processes of the body are not blind forces, or mechanical energies, but, on the contrary, are characteristically mental in their activities." Pg. 25
7.2. "Even when external remedies and methods are used they are seen to be merely the supplying of the cells with proper stimuli, nourishment, and aid; or perhaps, of removing mechanical or other obstacles from their way. The mind in the body, organs, and cells performs all the real curative work; all else is but an aid or help to the menal force latent within the body, organ, or cells." Pg. 25
7.3. "Man aids, but Nature cures -- and Nature is mental in its final analysis." Pg. 25
7.4. "...disease is not, as was formerly supposed, a foreign something that attacks the system. What is called "disease" is in very many cases but the symptoms of the efforts of Nature to eliminate objectionable and harmful conditions, and to resume normal states of functioning and activity." Pg. 25
8. Lesson Eight: The History of Mental Theraputics
8.1. "The patient, noting the improvement, is encouraged in his faith and belief, and the reparative force thus gains additional power, and so on until the cure is made." Pg. 29
8.2. "Later on, some of the kings and queens took over the gift of healing probably much to the disgust of the priests whose revenues were thus affeted. We find many records of 'the King's Touch,' or ' the Royal Touch,' in the Middle Ages, or afterward. There arose a belief that the touch of the hand of the monarch was a sure cure for scrofula and kindred disordersof the blood and skin. So at a certain times of the year great multitudes would present themselves to the ruling monarch in order that they might be made whole by his healing touch." Pg. 30
8.3. "The great successes of Franz Anton Mesmer in the latter part of the eighteenth century are now perceived to have arisen by reason of the power of faith and expectant attention, and not by any virtues of his theories of methods." Pg. 31
8.3.1. Many have since improved upon Mesmer's work, such as the English physician Braid, and then the French school of of thought that followed. Pg. 31
8.3.1.1. "This was the dawn of the modern scientific study of Mental Therapeutics - for it revealed the important fact that in mentatl states - particularly those of faith and expecant attention - there was to be found a great healing power." pg. 31
8.4. "The connecting link between the older schools of psychological healing, and the new schools of metaphysical healing, is found in Dr. Phineas Parkhurst Qumby, a poor clockmaker of limited education, but of a quick mind and strong personality, who lived in Maine..." Pg. 31.
8.5. "The great New Thought movement, with its many divisions, and subdivisions, has a large following, and also has a great multitude of healers, all of whom make cures by the general methods of mental healing, though under many different theories and conceptions, and by many methods of application." Pg. 32
8.6. "...the cold-blooded scientific observer insists upon the fact of the simple, natural scientific basis and foundation, which always exists under the fanciful guises and forms." Pg. 32
9. Lesson Nine: Disguised Mental Healing
9.1. "...all healing really is performed by the mind in the cells, organs, and parts of the body; and that this mind is under the control of the Corporeal Mind; and that the latter takes up, accepts, and acts upon the suggestions reaching it from the minds of others; then it follows that mental cures may be made by agencies and methods which are accepted as efficatious by the Corporeal Mind, or rather by the great subconcious mentality of which the Corporeal Mind is phase or part." Pg. 33
9.2. "It has been known to physicians for many centuries that the 'imagination' of the patient, if sufficiently aroused, was capable of working many important cures of serious ailments, not to speak of the less important ones." Pg. 33
9.2.1. "...it is a dull physician who does not soon discover that these placebos actually cause improvement and cures in many cases." Pg. 33
9.3. "It was found that the patients usually anxiously awaited the occurrence of these particular symptoms, of which they had been informed by their fellow patients. And, the tests proved that these same symptoms were manifested by many of the patients after they had been injected with pure water, without a trace of tuberculin." Pg. 3
9.3.1. In the Book of Revelation it states that "they" will measure us. There are at minimum two "they's".
9.3.1.1. First They: Extra terrestrial/dimensional/frequencial beings of higher conciousness measuring humanities fitness to explore the cosmos peacefully.
9.3.1.2. Second They: The controlling elite https://mm.tt/app/map/3215609481?t=KJFO93ipxK that use engineered sicknesses and breakouts to control the masses and measure how many buy into thier lies. Once critical mass is reached then they can unite the world around a One World Militarized Authoritarian Government. https://mm.tt/app/map/3667322091?t=1o6WKsPfeq
9.4. "The student and practioner of Mental Therapuetics should become familiar with this class (physical objects such as charms, pendants, crystals, etc.) of mental cures..." Pg. 36
9.4.1. "When the principle is once thoroughly understood, then one has the key to the whole class of strange cures." Pg. 36
10. Lesson Ten: Three Methods of Mental Healing
10.1. "The student who will thoroughly acquaint himself with the underlying principle of each of these three general classes will be master of the entire system, for all methods or forms of application are found to be but some variation of one of these general classes, or else a combination of one or more of them." Pg. 37
10.1.1. Healing by Mental Suggestion
10.1.2. Healing by Present Thought Induction
10.1.3. Healing by Distant Thought Induction
10.2. "...the practitioner using the method of Mental Suggestion almost always uses Personal Thought Induction in the presence of the patient, and often also Distant Thought Induction when thinking of 'the case' between treatments." Pg. 37
10.3. "The student and practitioner, however, will soon discover that some particular form of treatment is best adapted to the requirements of certain patients, while another form will best suit those of other patients, and so on." Pg. 37
10.4. "There is no place for narrowness and one-sideness in Mental Therapeutics, if one wishes to become and remain a successful practitioner thereof." Pg. 38
10.5. "The principle of Mental Suggestion is simply that of placing in the subconcious mind of the patient a firm, strong, positive idea of the physical condition sought to be induced in Mm." Pg. 38
10.6. "The subconscious mind accepting the idea or picture so introduced passes it on to that phase of itself known to us as the Corporeal Mind, and this in turn passes it on to the organ and cell minds concerned with that portion of the body in which the physical condition is sought to be induced or created." Pg. 39
10.7. "...it is a fact known to students of advanced psychology that Thought, like magnetism or electricity, radiates from the thinker, and, coming in contact with the mental aura of the patient, tends to induce there a corresponding idea, thought, or mental picture of the physical condition which is sought to be induced in the patient." Pg. 39
10.8. See second to last paragraph on Pg. 40
10.9. "As we proceed, the student should frequently refer to the present lesson, so as to keep fresh and clear in his mind this important fundemental and basic fact of his treatments." Pg. 40
11. Lesson Eleven: Mental Suggestion
11.1. An analogy is made on page 41 about keeping a water bowl that is filled with dirty water under running water. Over time the water becomes clean because of the dilution process. The same goes for our thoughts. Keeping a continious stream of positive thoughts flowing keeps the brain prepared for healing.
11.2. "...feeling always energies an idea in the mind, and makes it active and operative." Pg. 41
11.3. "One may subtly insulate into an argument or conversation an appeal to the feelings or emtions of the hearer by an ideal indirectly conveyed. Such an idea will be 'felt' by the listener, who will accept it inot his mind, and before long he will regard t as one of his own thoughts -- he will make it his own. He will think that he 'thought' it, whereas, really, he simply 'feels' it, and the feeling is induced. Pg. 42
11.4. "...the power of suggestion depends greatly upon the boldness, positiveness , and air of authority with which it is expressed." Pg. 42
11.5. "There are three strong mental factors operating in the case of Mental Suggestion properly applied, which the student of Mental Healing should carefully note and remember." THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE THREE ASPECTS ARE NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED. Pg. 43
11.5.1. Earnest Attention
11.5.1.1. "If we give no attention at all to an object or happening in the world outside of our mind, then we receive no impression at all regarding it. This is one of the fundemantal facts of psychology, remember." Pg. 43
11.5.2. Expectant Attention
11.5.2.1. "Practical psychologists recognize the value of the mental state known as Expectant Attention; it is an established fact that the expectancy, or earnest hope, of an improvement in the physical condition will act powerfully in the direction of inducing the desired condition. This is the secret power of Faith and Hope in all Mental Healing -- the secret of the cures of the Faith Healers and religious healing cults." Pg. 44
11.5.3. Pleasurable Mental States
11.5.3.1. "It is an axiom of psychological healing that a pleasurable mental state is conducive to the cure of disease, while the reverse condtion tends to induce imperfect and abnormal physiological action. Worry and Fear are potent causes of disease; Fearlesness and Cheerfulness are potent causes of cure and restored health."
12. Lesson Twelve: Principles of Suggestion
12.1. Authority!
12.1.1. "It is based upon the well established psychological law that the mind of the average person is strongly impressed by statements, spoken or written, which are expressed with the air of strong authority. It makes little or no difference whether the authority is real, or whether it is assumed, just so long as the air carries with it the assumption and implicit assertion of authority." Pg. 45
12.2. Association
12.2.1. "The Law of Association makes it much easier for persons to think of things in connection with other things, than to think of things by themselves. In fact, a little self analysis will show one that he is in the habit of judging things largely by reason of their association with certain other things. And, likewise, if these certain other things be present in connection with the third thing then that third thing is identified with the first thing even though there be but little real sameness between them." Pg. 46
12.3. Earnestness
12.3.1. "Earnestness and belief are more or less contagious; we are affected by these notes in the voices of those to whom we listen. The patient coming for suggestive treatment is quite sensitive to these vibrations, and is strongly responsive to the same. A few words uttered in an earnest, confident manner will accomplish far more than a long speech delivered in a manner which does not carry with it earnestness and the tone of confidence and belief." Pg. 47
12.3.1.1. "Hollander says of this : 'The quality of voice counts for more than we suspect in the relations of daily life. The speaker's power to move us depends upon his being able to create in us the feeling by which he is or pretends to be moved, and thus cause similar vibrations in our own nervous system. In this repect we are like so many musical glasses. We ring when we are in unison with the exciting object, but not otherwise. Only words that come from the hear can reach the heart...'" Pg. 47
12.3.1.1.1. "The student or practioner of Mental Suggestion should never lose sight of the fact that ernestness in giving Suggestion makes up for many deficiencies therin; and when added to other strong qualities it becomes almost irrisistible." Pg. 47
12.4. Repetition
12.4.1. "It is a psychological analogy to the well known physical examples of the repeated taps of the hammer driving the nail into the hardest wood; or of the constant dripping of the water drops wearing away the hardest stone. Each repetition of a positive suggestion will tend to make a deeper impression upon the suboncious mind. The same suggestion repeated in diffferent words, and with different illiustrations, will serve to greatly strengthen the original induced idea." Pgs. 47 - 48
12.4.1.1. "The practitioner of Mental Suggession should realize the value of repetition in administering therapeutic suggestion; and should carefully study out plans of stating the same thing over and over again in many ways, forms, and style of expression. Let him learn to drive the suggestive nail home by many taps -- to wear away the adverse mental auto suggestions fo beliefs, by the repeated dropping of the drops of positive ideas and suggestion." Pg. 48
13. Lesson Thirteen: Therapeutic Suggestion
13.1. "One of the first things that the student of Tgerapeutic Suggestion must learn is that he must reach the ind of the patient along the accustomed channels of thought communication. He must not insist upon crating established new channels through which his suggestions may flow into the mind of the patient." Pg. 49
13.1.1. Follows the Law of Least Resistance. Pg. 50
