Illness and the Power of Suggestion · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:02
  The body consciousness responds to suggestions whether they come
• 0:05
  through the mind, the vital, or directly act upon the physical
• 0:10
  level. Whether consciously noted or
• 0:13
  not. This has the potential to cause
• 0:16
  illness in the body if it happens to be a negative
• 0:19
  suggestion, or to cure illness if it is a positive suggestion.

  A researcher at Jipmer Hospital in South India was researching
• 0:29
  cancer in mice. Utilizing curly and photography
• 0:33
  as a tool of observation, he found that he could provoke the
• 0:37
  development of tumors in mice through subjecting them
• 0:40
  regularly to a frequency or vibration pattern of mice who
• 0:44
  had cancer. He was able to chart the
• 0:47
  progression of increasing illness among the mice he used
• 0:50
  for this experiment. He then subjected these same
• 0:55
  mice to the frequency vibration pattern of healthy mice and was
• 1:00
  able to show a systematic reversal of the cancer and the
• 1:03
  returning health of the formerly sick mice.
• 1:08
  For the most part, we do not recognize the power of
• 1:11
  suggestion on our health and Wellness.
• 1:14
  In this case, by using mice, he avoided the implication that
• 1:19
  there was somehow a mental suggestion that was creating the
• 1:22
  result in either direction. There was a direct vibratory
• 1:27
  force upon the vital envelope and the physical body, and this
• 1:32
  was the condition for either creating or healing illness.
• 1:37
  Homeopathic medicine relies on extreme dilutions of a
• 1:40
  particular substance that would create a condition in the body
• 1:45
  at full strength to reverse that condition.
• 1:49
  The exact mechanism is unknown to Western medical researchers,
• 1:53
  who fail to appreciate the value of homeopathy working at an
• 1:57
  extremely subtle level. While they try to explain away
• 2:01
  the results by attributing it to a form of placebo effect caused
• 2:06
  by the mind adopting the idea and sending a suggestion to the
• 2:10
  body, they cannot account for the success homeopathic
• 2:14
  practitioners have had with horses and dogs where the
• 2:18
  question of mental intervention is not involved.
• 2:23
  Siorobindo related a circumstance when his brother
• 2:26
  was extremely ill and feverish. It so happened a wandering not a
• 2:31
  Sanyasin came by and learned of the situation.
• 2:35
  He asked for a glass of water, which he infused with a mantric
• 2:39
  force. The brother quickly regained his
• 2:42
  health after imbibing the water. Siorobindo writes quote The
• 2:49
  suggestions that create illness or unhealthy conditions of the
• 2:52
  physical being come usually through the subconscient For a
• 2:56
  great part of the physical being, the most material part is
• 3:01
  subconscient. That is to say, it has an
• 3:04
  obscure consciousness of its own, but so obscure and shut up
• 3:09
  in itself that the mind does not know its movements or what is
• 3:14
  going on there. But all the same, it is a
• 3:17
  consciousness and can receive suggestions from forces outside,
• 3:23
  just as the mind and vital do. If it were not so, there would
• 3:28
  not be any possibility of opening it to the Force and the
• 3:32
  Force curing it, for without this consciousness in it, it
• 3:36
  would not be able to respond. In Europe and America there are
• 3:41
  many people now who recognize this fact and treat their
• 3:45
  illnesses by making conscious mental suggestions to the body
• 3:50
  which counteract the obscure secret suggestions of illness in
• 3:53
  the subconscious. There was a famous doctor in
• 3:57
  France who cured thousands of people by making them
• 4:00
  persistently put such counter suggestions upon the body.
• 4:05
  That proves that illness has not a purely material cause, but is
• 4:10
  due to a disturbance of the secret consciousness in the
• 4:13
  body. End Quote Reference Shriorobindo
