What Is Disease?

We have shown that heaven is "relief." The word "ease" may be used in a like sense. So if ease is heaven, then dis-ease must be a condition in which the mind is separating from the heavenly state.

Is Not The Mind Compelled By Planetary Influences To Take On Such Conditions Of Dis-Ease As The Planets Portend?

Most assuredly. If the mind is permitted to run on the sentient or lunar plane of life.

That, I Understand, Is What You Term "Fate?"

Yes. And it is most popular. When the mind is running on the plane of destiny, ignoring the fate plane, except as a "help-meet,"then disease is almost totally overcome.

By Your Use Of The Word "Helpmeet," You Seem To Hint At The Adam And Eve Story?

Yes, that story is purely astrol-ogic. Two great lights were made. The greater light the Sun (of God), The lesser light, the Moon, which follows the path of the dragon in its serpentine movement of darkness about the earth. The spirit of God is eternal light; the Sun (of God) is the visible manifestation, "the ancient of days."The earth or matter is perpetual darkness from which the Sun is the Saviour. The Moon is the Sun of darkness, and shines only by the light of the Sun (of God). The spirit of the Sun (or eternal light) is the destiny of man. The spirit of the reflected light of the Sun, which comes through the Moon to earth, is the fate of man. The moonlight is flrst formed out of the sunlight, and to use the figurative language of Genesis, we might call the light of the new Moon, "a rib"taken from the Sun.

What Has This To Do With Adam And Eve?

Much more than most people Imagine. As things are in the heavens, so they are on the earth. The destined nature of mankind is governed by the Sun, in cycles starting always from Aries. Hence Adam was the first manifestation of Sun life in flesh, and Eve was the first manifestation of Moon life on earth. By Sun life, we mean soul-life, (or sol-life). By Moon life we mean the exterior or sentient expressions of the soul-life, regardless of any popular ideas of sex. Both man and woman today in their personality, or exterior, express the sentient features of life governed by the senses or fate qualities. Dls-ease belongs to the fate or lunar side of life. When our will is strong enough to rise superior to fate and hold fast to the sunship power of our individual life, then we become on earth, the Suns or lights of God and the liver (or Jupiter type of earth glory) will harmonize with the lights, and there can be no dis-ease.

What Disease Is The Most Difficult To Cure?

Ignorance. It is about the only disease. The worst types are the various phases of blgotted ignorance. It is an inherited disease, due to prenatal or parental ignorance of truth, and verified by the lunar and planetary conditions on the horoscopal plane of life. There is no ignorance on the destined or Sun-ship plane of life. The sins or ignorance of the parents are visited upon the children in lunar diseases, unto the third or fourth generation; yet, no matter how lunstically diseased, relief can be obtained by suggestive theraputics in line with the Sun-ship sphere of the child. Most children are ruined by endeavor on the part of parents to lead children in the Sun or lunar spheres of the parents. Each child has a sphere of his own and is always uneasy or diseased when not permitted to exercise it. Disease or ignorance can never be permanently cured unless the patient is free or frees himself from the hypnotic influence of popular sentimental or sensational error, thereby becoming receptive to truth, which it is as natural for man to receive as it la to receive the breath of life. Truth to be of benefit to anyone must come to the heart mind, and be expressed by thought without authority from anyone.

This is the freedom from dls-ease which Jesus of Nazareth taught Thine own "faith bath made thee whole," or wholesome, Suggestions From others are beneficial, yet, like drugs, are only temporary, though they may be instrumental {if not too violent) in creating an individual knowledge of the law.

What Is Solopathy?

It is a form of suggestion on the line of true knowledge of health. The word means a discourse upon the soul of thing or harmony. Materia-medica, the line followed by what is termed, "Old School of Regulars,"relates to material things or substances. The mind conforms to form or the exterior Instead of the exterior conforming to the mind, and the mind of the patient is arbitrarily expected to conform to the mind of the physician, instead of to the soul, or God-Sun-ship power, that exists dormantly within the patient. Solopathy is a suggestive mode of arousing or awakening to strength and life, this latent power within as in the case where Jesus said: "Arise, take up thy bed and walk," or the words "Lazarus, come forth." Only those who have faith in themselves or who are not sceptical or blgotted, can be thus benefited. Hard cases might sometimes be overcome by the cry of fire. A hard case was at one time cured by appealing to her religious faith. "Do you believe In God" cried the Solopath? "Yes!" was the quick response of the patient. "Then prove it,"cried the Solopath, "get up and walk,"and she walked.
