1. Origin of the effect of Claims.
The word of man is the Spirit in the name. Spoken words are sounds produced by v
ibration of thoughts. The thoughts are vibrations emitted by the ego or the hear
t. You should saturate each of your words with the powerful vibrations of your s
ouls. If a man is unable to breathe on her words the force of the spirit, theirs
is a dead language. When we talk too much, or exaggerate or falsify the facts,
our words become so ineffective that paper bullets fired from a toy gun. That is
why both the words and the prayers of people loquacious or unscrupulous in thei
r language, often lack the power to bring about a positive change in the course
of events. The words of the men should express not only the truth, but also thei
r own understanding and realization [of the truth]. A language devoid of the str
ength of spirit, resembles a stripped corn cobs of the grains.
The spiritual power of human speech. Words filled with sincerity, conviction, fa
ith and intuition, act as highly explosive vibration pumps, which disintegrates
explosion rocks the difficulties, operating the desired transformation. Avoid un
pleasant words to pronounce, even when it relates to truthful information. Where
a conflict, we repeat sincere statements, with full understanding, feeling and
determination, they inevitably attract the support of the Omnipresent Cosmic Vib
rational Force. Power appealed the infinite confidently away all doubt, otherwis
e the arrow of your attention will wander the target. Once you have planted in t
he land of the Cosmic Consciousness seed of your prayers, not excavéis often in
order to check whether they have germinated or not ... Grant him divine forces
the opportunity to operate without interruption.
Divine Power of Man. There is nothing more than the Cosmic Consciousness or God.
His power infinitely beyond the limits of the human mind. So, seek only His hel
p, which means that you should not you again passive, inert or gullible, nor tha
t you should neglect the power of your own minds. The Lord helps those who help
themselves. He has given you the powers of will, strength, faith, reason and com
mon sense€in order that you do use them in your efforts to free yourself from p
hysical disturbance and mental. You should apply all of these powers, more appea
ling simultaneously to the help of God. In giving your prayers or affirmations,
do always with the confidence that you are using your own powers-powers received
from God to heal either yourself or others. Ask God's help, more Take simultane
ously aware of the fact that you yourselves who you are using, as beloved childr
en of God, of the gifts you have received from Him, the will, emotion and reason
, to resolve all complex problems of life. There should be a balance between the
medieval concept of total dependence of man toward God and the modern habit of
relying entirely on the ego.
Implementation of the Will, Feeling and Reason. The mental attitude should match
the type of statement that applies: statements regarding the will must be accom
panied by a strong determination, statements relating to the feelings must be ac
companied by devotion, statements regarding the reason, must be accompanied by a
clear understanding. When you want to heal others, you must select a type of st
atement that matches the patient's temperament, whether active, imaginative, emo
tional or reflective. Essential condition in the practice of any claim, is the i
ntensity of care, more continuity and repetition are also factors of considerabl
e importance. Repeat your statements carefully and repeatedly saturated with dev
otion,
3
will and faith ... and do not worry by the results: they must occur naturally, a
s a result of your efforts. During the physical healing process, attention shoul
d focus on the infinite powers of the mind and not on the disease itself, becaus
e the latter may undermine the faith. When it comes to overcoming delusions, suc
h as fear, anger, bad habits, etc., The concentration should be fixed at the opp
osite quality to which you want to win. Thus, to overcome fear, you must cultiva
te awareness of the value, to overcome anger, awareness of peace to overcome the
weakness, awareness of the fortress, to overcome the disease, health awareness,
etc. .
Mental Origin of Chronic Diseases. When we fight to regain lost health, often we
tend to pay more attention to the overwhelming power of the disease rather than
concentrating fully on the possibility of healing, in this way, we allow body d
isease becomes a habit, both mentally and physically. This phenomenon is particu
larly evident in people tense and apprehensive. All depressive, all thoughts of
happiness, irritability or calm, subtle groove records his brain cells, strength
ening our tendencies toward either the disease or to wellness. Our subconscious
"ideas" habits "either health or disease, exert a powerful influence on us. The
rebels, both mental illnesses and physical-have always deeply rooted in the subc
onscious mind. To remove the disease is necessary to start these hidden roots. I
t is therefore aware that every statement must be practiced with sufficient stre
ngth to be able to print [the truth] in the subconscious mind, then the latter i
n turn will affect the conscience automatically. Thus, the strong statements tha
t are practiced in a conscious way they operate on the mind as on the body throu
gh the mediation of the subconscious mind. The statements made with a larger for
ce, not only to reach the subconscious mind but also the superconscious dispense
r magical miraculous powers. Any assertion of truth should be practiced by apply
ing in her will, feeling, intelligence and devotion. It should not be allowed to
distract attention. Attention is necessary to train as if it were a naughty boy
, every time that deviates from its target, it must bring back and show, again a
nd again, repeatedly and patient, to concentrate on the task assigned.
Faith and Service: Two Factors Necessary. If you want to reach the superconsciou
s a statement, that statement must be free of doubt and uncertainty. The attenti
on and active faith which torches capable of driving to the subconscious mind an
d superconscious including those statements that are performed without a full un
derstanding of its meaning. Patience and repetition Alert and intelligent, works
wonders.€Claims practiced to heal chronic physical or mental disturbances, sho
uld be repeated frequently, depth and continuity, until they form an integral pa
rt of our deepest convictions intuitive. We should never pay any attention to th
e fact that the state of our health to remain steady or even worse. It is better
to die - if death is coming "with the conviction of possessing perfect health,
rather than with the idea that a victim of physical or mental ill incurable. Eve
n though, according to current knowledge of man, death to irrevocably constitute
s our body, soul power is able to modify the "High Noon."

2. Healing Energy is Produced by Vital.
Jesus said: "Not by bread alone does man live, but by every word that proceeds f
rom the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4) The "Word" is Life Energy or Vibrational Co
smic Force. The "mouth of God is the medulla, located in the back of the brain w
hich tapers, melting into the spinal cord. This area of the human body, the most
vital of all, is the divine portal ("mouth of God") through which enters the "W
ord" or vital energy that sustains the man. In the Hindu and Christian scripture
s, the Word is designated with the terms of Om and Amen, respectively. Only thos
e perfect power [of the Word or vital energy] is capable of restoring health, an
d all external stimulation methods act only as long as they cooperate with the v
ital energy, and lack any value in his absence.
Healing the Temperament Agreement. The drugs prescribed by medicine, massage, sp
inal adjustments and electrical stimulation can assist in the recovery of the lo
st harmony of the cells, either through its chemical action on the blood or thro
ugh its physiological effect. These external methods are sometimes cooperate wit
h the vital energy in the process of healing, but without any power if applied t
o a dead body, of which the vital energy has been withdrawn. Few people know tha
t, according to the particular nature of each individual - whether it is imagina
tive, intellectual, idealistic, emotional, volitional or combative, it is possib
le to apply special form either imagination, reason, faith, emotion , will, or e
ffort, respectively. Coue has highlighted the value of the autosugestión1.
The method of psychotherapy used by Coue was based on the power of imagination,
and not in the power of willpower. Drawing on statements such as: "Every day I'm
improving in all aspects," Coue asked his subjects to repeat again and again, w
hen their minds were in a receptive state. His theory was that the statements pe
netrate into the subconscious, displacing the anxiety-provoking thoughts or lead
to disease) and an intellectual type of person is susceptible to suggestion, an
d only react to a metaphysical discussion about the power of awareness the body,
since it is essential to understand the "how" and "why" the power of the mind.
If an individual learns of this nature, for example, that through hypnosis is po
ssible to produce blisters on the body - as stated by William James in his Princ
iples of Psychology - may also understand that the mind is also capable of cure
a disease. If the mind is capable of altering the health, it is also able to res
et it. The different parts of the body have been developed through the power of
the mind: is she who oversees the training of body cells and can also revitalize
. The auto is also of little value in an individual with a strong will. This typ
e of person can cure a disease by the application of assertions that can stimula
te their will instead of his imagination. But the auto is applicable in those wh
o are endowed with a temperament essentially emotional.

The Power of Emotion and Will. He is known for certain individual mute, who rega
ined the ability to speak to flee a building in flames. Acute Emotional received
the impression at the sight of the flames and brought him to shout "Fire!" Fire
! ", Forgetting that until then had not been able to talk. The impact of violent
emotion won his subconscious "disease" habit. " This event is an illustrative e
xample of the effect of the power of intensely focused attention. Finding myself
in India and Ceylon full journey, during my first voyage, I was suddenly beset
by a fit of vomiting and dizziness. The incident disturbed me a lot,€then gripp
ed me by surprise, just as I was enjoying my first experience in a floating room
(my cabin) and a sailing village. I decided not to ever let me fall victim to s
uch a trick of my body. Advancing a foot, I set firmly on the floor of my cabin,
and ordered him to my will never return to accept the experience of dizziness.
And even when he later returned to travel by sea on numerous occasions for a mon
th between Japan and India, fifty days between Calcutta and Boston, and twenty-s
ix days between Seattle and Alaska-ever I became prey to sickness.
Vital Energy Stimulation. The powers of the will, imagination, reasoning and emo
tion alone can not carry out any physical healing. They operate only as differen
t agents, which, according to the temperament of each individual, can stimulate
the vital energy, but is this who heals the disease. In a case of paralysis of t
he arm, for example, if the will or imagination are stimulated repeatedly, vital
energy can flow to the diseased tissues suddenly restoring normal arm. The repe
tition of the statements should be firmly and continuously, in order that the fo
rce of will, reason or emotion, possesses sufficient magnitude to stimulate vita
l energy inactive, patency was reestablished to normal functions. Should never n
eglect the importance of repeated efforts with increasing depth. When planting a
tree, the success of the company depends on two factors: the power of the seed
and soil conditions. Also, when it comes to healing a disease, two factors are e
ssential: the power of the therapist and the receptivity of the patient. Here ar
e two Bible verses that show that both the power of faith in the therapist and p
atient are necessary: "Then Jesus, feeling in himself that virtue (healing power
) that had left him ..." "And he said, Daughter, your faith has healed you."
Knowledge of the Great Therapists. Great men endowed with divine realization and
the power to heal others, not cure the disease by accident, but carry a precise
knowledge. Fully understanding the control of vital energy, they project to the
patient a stimulating current, which, on entering it, is able to harmonize the
flow of this energy in your body. During the healing process, such men are in fa
ct how the psycho-physical laws of nature operating in the tissues of the patien
t, restoring normal. People equipped with a lower level of spiritual fulfillment
are also able to both heal themselves and others, mentally directing the flow o
f vital energy through the internal visual representation, to the affected body
region. The restoration of physical, mental or spiritual, can occur instantaneou
sly. Darkness crowded through the ages in a particular room, can be dispelled in
an instant, with just light a light in there, but no such drive away the darkne
ss struggling. But no one can predict what will be healed right now, so you shou
ld never set a limit of time for the event. It is faith, and not so time-which w
ill determine
6
consummated when healing. The results depend on the proper awakening of vital en
ergy and the state in which they are conscious and subconscious minds of the ind
ividual concerned. The lack of faith paralyzes the vital energy, hampering the p
erfect work of this doctor divine architect of the body and master worker. The e
ffort and care are essential to achieve the depth of faith, the will or imaginat
ion, which will move automatically to operate vital energy healing. Both anxiety
and expectation with respect to the results weaken the strength of true faith.
If man uses his will and his faith, the vital energy remains dormant, inoperativ
e. It takes time to revive the strength of will, a faith or a weak imagination,
in a patient suffering from a chronic disease, as morbid thoughts are subtly etc
hed on their brain cells. Just as the bad habit of "Insight" usually requires a
long time to develop, one also needs a certain time for the good habit of "healt
h awareness" is restored. If you assert, for example: "I'm healthy," but at the
same time think, in the depths of your mind, that this statement is ineffective,
the result will be similar to that obtained if ingested a powerful drug,€while
taking another drug to offset the effects of the first. As with the use of any
drug, when used with thought in order to obtain a cure, you should take care not
to neutralize the negative thoughts with healing thoughts. For a thought can ac
tively operate successfully, must be imbued with such a strong will, able to wit
hstand the opposition of contrary thoughts.
The Power of Affirmations lies in the truth. To be effective, thinking must be u
nderstood and applied correctly. Upon entering the first time in the human mind,
the ideas often do so in its raw form, without suffering any digestion, to be a
ssimilated, require therefore careful consideration. A thought devoid of spiritu
al belief is worthless. That is why those who applied without understanding the
true statements in which they are based, that is, the indissoluble union between
man and God, they get very poor results, hence they lament the lack of healing
power of thoughts.

3. Healing Physical, Mental and Spiritual.
On its death, man is endowed with a threefold nature, and yearns for freedom fro
m all forms of suffering, namely: 1) The healing of bodily ills. 2) The cure of
diseases of the mind, psychological conditions, such as fear, anger, bad habits,
awareness of failure, lack of confidence and initiative, and so on. 3) The cure
of diseases of the mind, such as indifference, lack of purpose in life, dogmati
sm and intellectual arrogance, skepticism, satisfied with the material aspect of
existence, and ignorance of both the laws of life and the divinity of man. It i
s essential to assign equal value to the prevention and cure of these three type
s of diseases simultaneously. Most of the men fixed their attention on the heali
ng of physical problems alone, because these are the most tangible and obvious.
Most people are unaware of the fact that the real causes of all human distress l
ie in delusions such as anxiety, selfishness, etc. and the spiritual blindness t
hat prevents perceive the divine meaning of life. Once a man has destroyed itsel
f mental bacteria intolerance, anger and fear, and freed his soul from the power
of ignorance, it is very unlikely to suffer from physical or material deprivati
on.
How to Prevent Physical Disease. Obedience to God's physical laws, is the best m
ethod to prevent any physical illness. Avoid excesses in diet. A large majority
of people die because of their own greed, and their ignorance of correct dietary
habits. Obey the divine laws of hygiene. The practice of mental hygiene purity
is superior to physical hygiene, but by no means be neglected the importance of
the latter. Do not live, however, according to rigid rules of hygiene so that th
e slightest deviation from it disturbs you. Prevent the physical, by mastering t
he proper method to preserve the physical energy and to provide the body of an i
nexhaustible amount of vital energy through practice exercises Self Realization
Fellowship. Prevent hardening of the arteries through the diet. Avoid subjecting
the heart to a unique work, the fear and anger fatigued this body. Whether thro
ugh the practice of the method of Self Realization Fellowship, and the cultivati
on of mental serenity, rest heart brindadle necessary. If we estimate that the a
mount of blood ejected with each contraction of the ventricles of the heart amou
nts to about one hundred and fifteen milliliters, this body would move a weight
equal to eight pounds of blood in a minute. Thus, within one day, boost heart ab
out twelve tons of blood, and within a year this value would amount to four thou
sand tons. These figures demonstrate the enormous work done by the heart. Genera
lly considered the heart relaxes between contractions (diastolic period or expan
sion) it would receive every twenty-four hours, a total of nine hours rest. The
diastolic period, however, does not correspond to a real rest, but
8
is merely a stage of preparation for movement following stroke. The vibrations c
aused by the contraction of the ventricles reverberate through the heart tissue
during relaxation, and therefore the heart is never really at rest.€While the h
eart muscle day and night under a continuous waste of energy, naturally tends to
lose his strength. It would therefore be of considerable value to the maintenan
ce of health, hold for that muscle adequate rest. The conscious control of sleep
, learning to sleep and wake at will, are part of yoga training, one of whose ph
ases enables man to regulate the heartbeat. When you can consciously control the
beating of the heart, has achieved mastery over death. Both physical rest and r
enewal of energy produced during normal sleep, are only a pale reflection of the
wonderful calm and strength achieved by the "conscious sleep", in which even th
e heart relaxes. Saint Paul (I Corinthians 15:31): "... for the glory that in or
der to you I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily", that is, the holy peac
e that accompanies a Consciousness of Christ, rests or stops the heart. There ar
e many scriptures that reveal the fact that the ancient prophets art dominated t
he rest of the heart, either through scientific meditation or spiritual total su
rrender to God. In 1837, some well-known Hindu fakir called Sadhu Haridas was bu
ried underground in order of Ranjit Singh, Maharaja of Punjab, as part of a tigh
tly controlled experiment. Under constant surveillance, this man was buried for
forty days, within a completely walled cavity. After that period, his body was u
nearthed in the presence of many dignitaries of the court, plus some English gen
tlemen, among whom was Colonel Sir. C. M. Wade, London. Sadhu Haridas resumed br
eathing and he returned to normal life. During a previous experiment, led by the
Raja Dhyan Singh in Jammu, Kashmir, Sadhu Haridas remained buried for four mont
hs. This man had mastered the art of controlling as much to rest the heart.
Preventing Mental Illness. Cultivate peace and trust in God. Set free your mind
of all thought disturbing, full of love and happiness. Take consciousness of the
superiority of mental healing rate on physical therapy. Discard the bad habits,
under whose influence your lives become miserable.
Spiritual Preventing Diseases. It is possible that our minds become more and mor
e spiritual, by the method of freeing ourselves from any notion of mortality and
mutability, concepts that limit us. The body is nothing but vibration materiali
zed, and should be recognized as such. The awareness of the disease, decay and d
eath, can be evicted by the scientific understanding of both the deep laws that
unify the subject and the Spirit, and the illusory quality of the manifestation
of Spirit in form of matter , of the infinite in finite form. Firmly believe tha
t you created in the image of the Father, and therefore you are immortal and per
fect. Science has proven that even the tiniest particle of matter, or the slight
est wave of energy, are indestructible, the soul or spiritual essence of man is
also indestructible. Matter undergoes changes, the soul suffers changing experie
nces. A radical changes are called death, but death, change of physical form, do
es not alter or destroy the spiritual essence. There are many methods of concent
ration and meditation that is often taught, but the Self Realization Fellowship
methods are most effective. Apply your daily lives of peace and balance that you
experience during the practice of concentration and meditation. Preserve your e
quanimity even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Do not be victimized by
violent emotions, even compared to more adverse events, then look undisturbed.
9
Evaluation of treatment methods. Generally considered that the disease is caused
by external causes, material. Few are aware that the cause of the process lies
in the inactivity of internal vital energy. When the cell or tissue vehicle of v
ital energy are seriously injured, that energy is removed from the affected regi
on, giving rise to the phenomenon of the disturbance. Both the drugs such as mas
sage and electrical stimulation, act merely as activating cells, helping to lead
the life energy to return to their maintenance and repair work. Should not be e
xtremist in any sense, but take any therapeutic method that we deem appropriate,
according to our individual convictions.€Both drugs and food have a definite c
hemical action on the blood and tissues. Since we use food to keep us why should
we neglect the effects of drugs or other means of physical therapy on our body?
While awareness of the subject prevails in man, physical methods of healing are
always useful, even if tainted by limitations due to the fact that they are app
lied from the outside. The best methods are those that help the vital energy to
resume its internal therapeutic activities. Drugs can help chemically, through i
ts action on blood and tissue, the application of electrical stimulation methods
can also be useful. More or medicine or electricity are able to heal on their o
wn disease, all they can do is encourage or induce the vital energy return to th
e region that has left sick. If we can handle the action of the vital energy dir
ectly, it should give up all external therapeutic agent, whether a drug or appli
cation of electricity or any other instrument intermediary.
Divine Law Enforcement in the Material Plane. The ointments may be useful in the
treatment of sores, itching, superficial wounds, etc. Likewise, if you have bro
ken a leg or an arm, it is necessary to give life energy to rearrange the work o
f displaced bones, as an orthopedic surgeon, a child of God, capable of serving
as an instrument of His-can treat the fracture through the use of their expertis
e and their knowledge of God's laws applied to the material world. If, by mental
power, you are instantly able to heal your broken bones, do well, but if you la
ck this power, it would be foolish to wait until the buy to heal. We can help re
move or alleviate congestion in the nerves or vertebrae by fasting, massage, ost
eopathic and rheumatologic treatments, yoga postures, etc., Thus facilitating th
e free flow of vital energy.
Purchasing Power of Vital Energy. Mental healing is superior to all methods of p
hysical healing, because the will, imagination, faith and reason are states of c
onsciousness, effectively acting directly from within. They provide the motivati
ng power that stimulates and directs the vital energy, inducing it to perform an
y specific task. Both the auto and the use of different types of statements are
useful in stimulating vital energy, but they are not always effective. This is d
ue to the fact that those who practice these methods are often applied in an exc
lusively mental, without consciously manage the vital energy and therefore witho
ut making any physiological connection [between mind and matter]. When combined
psychophysiological techniques with the power of will, faith and reason, control
ling and directing the vital energy in such a way as to contact the superconscio
us state, the cure is safe. In this blessed state of Reality
10
understand the indissoluble unity between matter and spirit, thus overcoming any
state of disturbance. Realization Seif's teachings provide the modus operandi F
eIlowship to train the will in such a way as to be able to go to any region of t
he body the flow of vital energy that it actually vibrates. Through the applicat
ion of this method, you may receive as defined internal flow Cosmic Vibratory Fo
rce.

4. The Nature of Creation.
The matter does not exist as it usually conceive it, but does exist in the form
of a cosmic illusion, and to dispel this illusion, it requires a defined method.
As it is impossible to heal a man addicted to drugs in a single instant, so the
material consciousness, which dominates the man through the law of illusion, bu
t can not be overcome through learning and application of laws in conflict, ie t
he law of truth. Through a series of processes of condensation, the Spirit turne
d on, hence the matter comes from the Spirit, and therefore can not differ from
its origin. Matter is a partial expression of the Spirit, which manifests as the
infinite finite, the Unlimited as limited. Further, since the matter is but an
illusory manifestation of the Spirit, does not exist per se.
Consciousness and Matter. At the beginning of creation, the Spirit unmanifested
until then, was designed in the form of two different natures: consciousness and
matter.€These are two expressions of the one Spirit vibrational transcendental
consciousness being a subtle vibration and vibration coarser material from him
Conscience is the vibration of the subjective aspect of the Spirit, and the matt
er is the vibration of its objective aspect. The Spirit, as Cosmic Consciousness
, is potentially inherent in the vibrational field objective and, in its subject
ive aspect, manifests as consciousness present in all created forms, reaching it
s highest expression in the human mind and the many ramifications of thought pro
cesses, emotional, volitional and imaginative it. The difference between Spirit
and matter lies in the reality of the vibrations of the two, as to say, this is
a difference of degree, not of kind. The following example will better illustrat
e this fact: Even if all the vibrations are qualitatively similar to the human e
ar can only perceive the coarser vibrations, those limits ranging between sixtee
n and twenty thousand cycles per second; vibrations of less than sixteen and mor
e than twenty thousand cycles per second are usually inaudible. There is no esse
ntial difference between audible and inaudible vibrations, even if there is such
a relative difference of degree between them. Through the power of Maya-the cos
mic illusion, the Creator has made the physical manifestations are presented so
clearly differentiated and individualized to the human mind, it did not in any w
ay associated with the Spirit.
Thought: The Subtle vibrations. Contained in the gross physical body vibration,
the vibration is more subtle than the current cosmic life energy, and flooding b
oth the body and the energy of life itself, is even more refined vibration of co
nsciousness. The vibrations of consciousness are so subtle that they can not be
detected by any physical instrument, only consciousness can apprehend consciousn
ess. Humans catch the myriad of vibrations emitted by the consciousness of other
human beings, expressed through words, actions, looks, gestures, silences, atti
tudes, and so on. Every man carries the brand stamped on it his own vibrational
state of consciousness, and emits a characteristic influence both on individuals
and on objects. For example, a room in which dwells a man determined, is impreg
nated with the vibrations of his thoughts. Any person endowed with a certain deg
ree of sensitivity, will be able to clearly perceive these vibrations.
12
The human ego, or sense of "I-ness", the distorted image of the soul mortal cons
ciousness inmortalaprehende directly, and matter (the human body and all other f
orms of creation) indirectly, through mental processes and sensory perceptions.
The ego is therefore always aware of his own conscience, rather it is not matter
 - not even the body in which he lives, but when they fixed their attention on i
t. Hence, a man who is deeply engrossed in a particular subject, be aware of you
r mind, but not of his body.
Body and Consciousness, created by man in the dream state. All experiments produ
ced in the waking state of a man, can be reproduced in the dream state of consci
ousness. Plunged in this state, man can dream happily walking through a beautifu
l garden, and finds himself before the body of a friend, then suffers, weeps, he
r head hurts, his heart pounding painfully. Or maybe a storm suddenly appeared i
n his dream, and then feel wet and cold ... Plus, just wake up, the protagonist
of dreams laugh at all your dream experiences. Is there a difference between the
experiences of a man in the dream state and their experiences in the waking sta
te? During his dream, this guy has seen matter-expressed in his own body, that o
f his friend in the garden, etc., And consciousness, expressed in their feelings
of joy and pain. Thus, both consciousness-that of matter and of consciousness i
tself, is present when a man dreams such as when awake. The man is able to creat
e matter and consciousness in an illusory world of dreams. There should therefor
e be hard to grasp the fact that the Spirit, using the power of Maya, man has cr
eated to the dream world of "life": a conscious existence is, in essence, so unr
eal, so ephemeral and changing - as are the experiences of dreams.
Cosmic Maya or Illusion. The phenomenal world operates under the power of maya,
the law of duality or opposite states, and is therefore an unreal world€existen
ce of which hides the truth of the unity and immutability of God. Man dreams, in
his mortal aspect, with dualities and contrasts with the life and death, health
and disease, happiness and pain, more so when you wake up the conscience of the
soul, all duality disappears, and recognizes himself as the eternal and blessed
Spirit.
Humanity Needs Extraviada. For the disoriented humanity, both medical help and m
ental support are important. There is no denying the superiority of mind over th
e therapeutic power of the media materials, plus the action of foods, herbs and
drugs, although more limited, it is also undeniable. By using methods for mental
health is not necessary to completely disregard the physical systems of healing
, since the latter are the result of the investigation of the physical laws of G
od. While there is in man the consciousness of the body material, it should not
completely dismiss the use of curative drugs. Plus, as soon as your understandin
g of the origin of the body immaterial increase in the level enough, your faith
in the power of medication will disappear, and you will understand that every di
sease has its root in the mind.
Wisdom: Supreme Purifying Therapy. My Master, Sri Yukteswar, I never said that m
edicines were useless. And yet, he trained his disciples as to which, having exp
anded their consciences, when
13
many of them fell ill used exclusively mental power to heal. The master musical
notation stating: "Wisdom is the supreme cleansing therapy". There are individua
ls in both the West and East, as a fanatic who deny the existence of matter, eve
n when they themselves are still dominated by the body awareness to the point of
feeling faint when they are deprived of one of their meals common. When we are
in that state of realization in which body and mind, life and death, health and
disease, seem equally illusory phenomena, only then it is fair to say that we do
not believe in the existence of matter.
Human Consciousness and Divine Consciousness. Through her Maya-and therefore man
's ignorance about their own soul-human consciousness is isolated from the Cosmi
c Consciousness. The human mind is subject to change and limits, and Cosmic Cons
ciousness is free from all restraint, and never engages in the experience of dua
lity: the experiences of life and death, health and illness, pain and fleeting j
oys, etc. . Always prevails in the divine mind an immutable perception of suprem
e happiness. The process of liberation of human consciousness is developed throu
gh training through the study claims, concentration and meditation. This trainin
g teaches us to retract our attention from the vibrations of the gross body and
the incessant fluctuations of thoughts and emotions, enabling us to perceive the
subtle vibrations and stable vital energy and higher mental states.
Trust in the Divine Power that lies within you. People equipped with a heightene
d awareness material, ie those who tend to identify their "being" with the physi
cal body should be led gradually to learn to rely increasingly on less than drug
s and foreign aid in general, and to rely more and more in the divine power that
dwells within himself

PART TWO: METHOD AND PRACTICE. 5. Technical Claims.
Preliminary Rules. A) Sit facing north or east. Choose a straight-backed chair,
devoid of arm supports, and cover a chair with a woolen blanket. The wool serves
the purpose of isolating the body of the earth magnetic currents, which tend to
link the mind to the perceptions materials. 2) Close your eyes and focus attent
ion on the region of the medulla (in the back of the neck), unless other specifi
c instructions otherwise indicated. Keep your back straight, chest lifted, retra
cted abdomen, but relaxed. Inhale deeply, then exhaled breath, repeat this opera
tion three times. 3) Relax your body and stay still. Desalójense of mind all an
xious thoughts, and withdraw the attention of all body sensation, whether therma
l, auditory, etc. 4) Do not think the particular type of healing that is needed.
5) Discard all your worries, any lack of confidence, any concern. Take consciou
sness, in a calm and confident that God's law operates effectively and is omnipo
tent.€It should prevent doubt or suspicion to prey on the mind and concentratio
n faith that the law allowed to operate without any hindrance. Print in the mind
the thought that all bodily states are subject to change and are curable, and t
hat the very idea of the existence of a chronic illness is an illusion. TIME: Th
e statements should be applied at the time of awakening in the morning or during
the period of drowsiness that precedes sleep at night When the findings in a gr
oup practice, meetings can be any convenient time. LOCATION: To the extent possi
ble should be chosen a quiet place and quiet. If necessary to meet in a noisy lo
cal, ignore the noise and give full attention devoted to the practice of affirma
tions. METHODS: Before practice statements should be wiped off the minds of any
concerns and any concerns. Whichever statement is needed, and repeat it in full,
starting out loud and gradually lowering his voice while the repetition is in t
urn more slowly and ending in a whisper. You should then continue repeating the
statement in mind form only, without moving his lips and tongue, until they feel
it has reached a deep, uninterrupted concentration. In this period should not f
all into a state of torpor, but there must be a deep continuity of thought, a th
ought that flows without interruption. If you continue with the mental affirmati
on, delving further, there will be a sense of peace and happiness growing. Durin
g a state of deep concentration, our mental claims are immersed in the power of
the subconscious, only to return later to the sphere of consciousness reinforced
with the power to influence the conscious mind through the law of habit. In tha
t period of practice in which one experiences a growing peace, your claims go ev
en deeper, penetrating into the realm of the superconscious from the kingdom ret
urn to consciousness this time endowed with unlimited power to influence the con
scious mind to meet your desires. Do not entertain any doubt, and it will be pos
sible to verify the scientific miracle of this faith. In statements carried out
collectively to heal the physical or mental illness of a member of the group or
other, obtain care for both the tone of voice as
15
mental strength, concentration and sense of faith and peace with repeated repres
entations, are all equally consistent within the group. Weaker minds decrease th
e strength of collective claims, and may even divert the flow of power to its de
stination, the superconscious. It is therefore essential not to make any movemen
t (during practice) and allow the mind becomes restless. To succeed, it requires
the concentration of all group members. The group claims, the director of the g
roup should read the statements in rhythmic form, and the rest of the crowd repe
ated his words with the same rhythm and intonation.
Affirmations Inspired by the Soul. The statements in this book have been saturat
ed by the inspiration of the soul. These seeds should be sown statements in the
land of peace superconscious, and watered by faith and your concentration, which
will create active internal vibrations promote seed germination. There are many
processes involved between planting the seed of the claim, and obtain its fruit
s. In order to produce the desired outcome, all the conditions necessary for the
ir development must be fulfilled. The seed of claim must be a seed in good condi
tion, ie must be free of defects of the doubt, anxiety, and inattention. Should
be planted in the minds and hearts, in concentrated form, serene, devout, and wi
th a repetition regársela must always fresh and deep, and with unlimited faith.
Always Avoid rote. In this respect the biblical injunction: "Do not take the na
me of the Lord thy God in vain." (Exodus 20:7). Affirmations should be repeated
in a firm, intense and sincere, until there is a power such that a mental order,
a powerful internal analysis, it is sufficient to alter body cells and to urge
the soul to work miracles.
Stages of Mental Canticle. Remember again that the statements should be repeated
aloud with appropriate intonation, I go down the tone of voice ending in a whis
per, but remember, above all, that the practice should be done with concentratio
n and devotion. In this way,€through their own conviction about the efficacy an
d truth of statements, thoughts [contained in them] are taken from the sense of
hearing to the understanding of the conscious mind, from there to the subconscio
us mind or automatically, and from it to the superconscious mind. Those who beli
eve and be healed through the practice of these statements. The five steps to fo
llow in the repetition of affirmations are: conscious repetition aloud, repeatin
g in a whisper, mental repetition, repetition subconscious. repeat v superconsci
ous. Om and Amen, the Cosmic Sound Repetition becomes subconscious and automatic
uninterrupted. When the deep internal vibrations of the claims are transformed
into implementation, implanted in the minds conscious, subconscious and supercon
scious, then you have come to the practice of superconscious statement. Singing
superconscious is to keep the attention fixed, without interruption, in the true
Cosmic Vibration [Om or Amen) and not in an imaginary sound. As one moves from
one stage to another in the practice of affirmations, mental attitude should cha
nge in parallel, internalized and increasingly concentrated. The goal is that bo
th the person conducting the claim as the process of the practice itself and the
statement itself, come to identify themselves in one indissoluble entity. The m
ind should reach the deepest state (concentration) in a conscious way - without
sinking into the torpor, the mental wandering or drowsy state in which attention
is focused so intensely, that all thought is immersed and is based on a single
central thought which metal particles attracted by an irresistible magnet.
16
Physiological Three Centers. During the statements which will mainly apply, care
must be fixed at the midpoint between the eyebrows, when applied to claims of i
ntellectual, the center of the concentration must be the medulla oblongata, and
in the claims of fervor, concentration should focus on the heart. Depending on t
he occasion, the man may set your mind automatically in any of these regions phy
siological in emotional states, for example, is often perceived the heart center
to the exclusion of the rest of the body through the practice of affirmations i
t acquires the power to direct conscious attention to the vital sources of will,
 thought and feeling. The absolute and unwavering faith in God is the supreme me
thod of instant healing. And the most excellent and productive human duty is to
make a constant effort to spark a similar faith. The medulla oblongata and the m
idpoint between the eyebrows are in fact the positive and negative, respectively
, from a single center of force intelligent. Paramahansaji sometimes used to ind
icate the devotees that they should concentrate in the midpoint between the eyeb
rows, and sometimes ordered them to concentrate on the medulla, but both sites a
re indeed one, by its polarity. When, in a calm and concentrated, the gaze is fi
xed at the midpoint between the eyebrows, the current from both eyes goes first
fairy that point, and then to the medulla. Then appears on the front of the sing
le eye of astral light, which is reflected there from the bulb.
