Chapter 11- Medicine: Contraindicated

Activities Contraindicated:

• Spear fishing (and other such predatorial recreations – hunting, shooting, etc.)
• Computer games or work
• Atheistic indulgences
• Narcissistic indulgences

Spear fishing as a hobby, rather than an absolute need, lies contrary to the very virtues the individual who is deficient in medicinal properties is attempting to draw into themselves.
Quite obviously in the first instance, the taking of any life dismisses our understandings of the very life within our own beings. However the difficulty with recreational killing is that it also incites many inharmonious pleasures in the practice as well.

To hunt and to capture has long been romanticized as a masculine heroism – perhaps relating to the days when skill could conquer over mass and ferocity. Whereas at present, when the mortal peril is rarely in question … when the hunted are but lesser creatures who pose no real contest to our ‘manlihood’ - then the chase is but a farce to the ego, which independently recognizes this discrepancy.

There are astral passions that are inflamed and excited by such activity. Holding a blood-drenched rabbit, with his ‘spirit’ having fled with his warmth, and his pulse (and his humor) all spent – what does the hunter experience when he acknowledges satisfaction in this strike? Moreover, what does it do to his own constitution in the process? … It denies it! It works against it and drives the indwelling ‘spirit’ out in disgust, by means of the disassociation which has just occurred.

Every action we participate in and entertain within our own thoughts and passions becomes mirrored within. Criticisms and hatreds score our processes and disrupt our functions. Life cannot remain where it is no longer invited.

Added to this we are also very much influenced by the company we keep and the indwelling thoughts and systems around us. Fortunately there are many perimeters which cordon us off from much which would impinge extraordinarily – and yet a little of everything still speaks to us daily and does so accumulatively.

The moral atmosphere surrounding a child is especially important in that their virginal astral sheaths are particularly impressionable to the invisible dialogues around them. It is often proven generationly just how much damage sadly can be done when the disruptive and sour tendencies from one can be thereby passed on. Weaknesses such as thievery can develop into congenital madnesses. The inordinate passion of the hunter as spoken of above, can cripple or disease the child that grows up with it. These are no small matters. Yes, we are all impressionable.

So, without paranoia, it is important to be guarded and well advised as to the morality and even-temperedness of the folk who presume to be in company with you or your children, for any lengthy period. Hysteria, agitation, cruelty – even chronic flippancy – becomes erosive to the constitution which bears its output through proximity.

Added to this now have also the computer systems which do not relate in any way to the organizational properties of organic Man. If one is ill or in deficit of the medicinal virtues, or wishing to cultivate further healing comprehensions to livingly dwell within their makeover so as to become a better practitioner or therapist, then it is advised to spend as little time as possible around computer systems. 

In general it can be said that computers themselves harvest many wonderful thoughts, processes and dialogues. They are not an artificial intelligence, but rather vehicles for a multitude of combined intelligences which stream and pool in many, many areas of influence – at the one time.

Oddly enough, (even though one can cite the electromagnetic demons and their kind) a computer when it is without its power is as impinging as one which is turned on. This is not speaking from the view of electrical impulse and radiation, but of a more subtle form of exposure we are given to, simply by being in the ‘company’ of this object of certain form and function.

You see, whether something is visibly animate or not, its movements which have formerly been, play out in the astral counterpart continuously and without rest. Whatever a person or an object has done – any change in its structure, output or momentum (and of course at the minutest of levels this occurs within all matter anyhow) - there is a repetitive replay of events of form occurring within the astrality of its space all of the time. And we are more than susceptible to these emanative mimes.

The problem with the computer (as wonderfully useful as it is) is that its functional properties are so very, very different to the workings of the physical body and what we are trying to develop therein. When a man is compared to a machine there could be nothing further from the truth ever said.

This is in itself a mystery, but suffice to say here that the working properties are contrary and not helpful to that of our own psyche or harmonious cooperative whole.

However, and having said that, there are times and conditions in which computerized systems have assisted in interim periods of physical need and worked with specific purpose to assist a hospitalized patient with some function for which they themselves could not implore. Whilst we are differentiating between that which is working countercurrent to the forces we should wish to indwell, we are in no way discouraging a man from the cooperative assistance of a dialysis machine for example and the tremendous benefit he can there depend upon.
