СКАЧАТЬ purpose in life, then, is not the gratifying of appetites nor of any selfish desires, but it is that the entity, the soul, may make the earth . . . a better place in which to live. (4047-2)

      The goal and the purpose were a bit different, Cayce often indicated. The goal, he said, was to come to the point of knowing ourselves to be ourselves, yet one with God, or the Creative Forces. That brings the goal and the purpose, the heavens and the earth, closer together in our understanding.

      To put Dr. Lee’s words into action, let’s look at a number of single events, and see if they do not spark a new awareness in our minds. The people involved in the following events found the value in castor oil as they explored its use for conditions that afflicted their own bodies.

      CASTOR OIL FOR HERNIAS

      Healing of the human body comes about in a variety of ways, but the Cayce readings emphasize the concept that consciousness of the individual is the real determining factor. Every organ, every cell, every atom has its own type of consciousness. Each part of God’s world, down to its molecular and atomic structure, is aware of its own individual job, its origin and its destiny, as a manifestation of the Creative Forces of the universe.

      This is one of the reasons why I am fascinated by the variety of illnesses and conditions of the body that respond to the oil of the lowly castor bean. It can certainly cleanse the body—most of us recall that effect clearly from our childhood, when we are given a bit of that oil to clean us out. If cleansing is part of the nature of consciousness of castor oil, then logically it will cleanse wherever it is applied. Proper cleansing allows cellular structures to function more normally and often to regenerate themselves.

      A recent letter reminded me of this. It came from a man who had suffered a condition usually cleared up only by surgery—inguinal hernia. When he was seventy-one, he began wearing a standard hernia support because he felt a strain in the left inguinal area. Four years later the same condition showed up on the right side, so he switched to a double hernia support. Later on that year, when his right hernia bulged out rather severely, he underwent surgery on that side.

      For the next two years he continued wearing the appliance on the left side, but neither side “felt real good.” So, he started to massage both areas with hot castor oil, using a rotary motion—clockwise on the left, counterclockwise on the right.

      “I did this in units of 100 massage strokes, then rested for a while and repeated ten or twelve more units,” he told me. “Consequently, each area received 1,000 to 1,200 rotary strokes. Castor oil was applied liberally during the massage and perhaps two to three tablespoonfuls were absorbed by the body. When finished, I would not wash but just wiped off the surplus oil with paper towels. In several weeks both areas felt better. I followed the massage procedure three or four times a week. In several months, things were greatly improved.”

      He no longer wore a hernia belt, only an athletic supporter. Occasionally he noticed discomfort and some swelling, but those conditions cleared up after several months. He continued the massages once or twice a week as insurance. When he wrote, at age seventy-nine and a year-and-a-half after starting the oil treatments, he reported that his condition had cleared up: “I lift whatever has to be lifted. Once it was necessary to lift 100 pounds. In fact, I don’t think about the hernia any more.”

      I agree with my correspondent when he tells me, “I’m sure the massage was a factor in my healing. However, I strongly feel the castor oil that was absorbed by my body did a great deal of good.”

      Such an experience is exhilarating—to him and to me. This patient’s experience is much like Cayce’s comments on how healing comes about:

      Know that all strength, all healing of every nature is the changing of the vibrations from within—the attuning of the Divine within the living tissue of a body to Creative Energies. This alone is healing. Whether it is accomplished by the use of drugs, the knife or what-not, it is the attuning of the atomic structure of the living cellular force to its spiritual heritage. (1967-1)

      Keep this awareness within your own inner being and you’ll experience a leap in consciousness every time you overcome an illness of the physical body.

      CHRONIC PROBLEMS

      In understanding the body, I think it is important to recognize that every portion of the body tends to maintain a status quo. Very few people really like change, and change must take place if healing is to occur or if the patient is going to progress in consciousness. Purveyors of change usually are not welcome. If they are in the form of therapies of any kind, the total body consciousness will often rebel and prevent positive results.

      It’s somewhat like a computer. When the computer is programmed in a certain manner, hitting the proper sequence of keys will always give the same readout. It’s difficult to change the programming, and such change takes time.

      The human body responds in a similar way. The castor oil pack might be compared to a new program as, over time, it affects the cells of the body and thus a new program is in operation.

      Velma is a seventy-two-year-old woman who had a hysterectomy in 1965. The surgery seemed to have been all right, but since the operation—for the past twenty-three years—she has experienced constant gaseous distention, constipation, abdominal “miseries,” edema of the ankles, and episodes where her gut would feel as if it were twisting in on itself. These periods would sometimes last for hours.

      After being seen as a patient in our office, she was instructed on how to use a castor oil pack. She was faithful in following instructions and came back for a recheck in just two weeks.

      She told us that within minutes after the very first pack was placed on her abdomen, she felt as though the gut inside the belly wall untwisted on itself. Since that time, there has been absolutely no recurrence of symptoms. She has no twisting sensations, her ankles are no longer edematous, and her abdominal “miseries,” constipation, and gaseous distention are gone.

      Some individuals are undoubtedly more sensitive than others. I’ve observed those who are severely reactive to smoke, while others are not. Some cannot take medicines, only herbal preparations. There are those individuals who cannot eat meat. Sensitivity also extends to those who tune in to their unconscious more than others.

      This woman must have been one of those who are sensitive to the healing powers of castor oil. For she reported to us—and this is the most unusual aspect of her story—that since she’s been using the packs, she has actually seen oil in her stools. And she’s taken no oil by mouth.

      It is interesting to consider what mechanisms might have taken part in restoring normalcy to someone like this elderly woman who has been bothered with a problem that has no known diagnosis, no obvious findings to the searching hands of a physician. Yet, for twenty-three years something was out of sync, something that was incoordinant inside her body. And the vibration or effect of the castor oil brought about a normal function once again.

      Another longstanding problem had its origin in 1964, when Richard Disney was injured playing football. He had a back operation the next year and again in 1980, the latter to remove part of a crushed disc.

      In 1987, he reinjured the area. Following some chiropractic adjustments, he was able to go back to work after just a few days. Several weeks later, however, he developed sciatic pain on his left side and had several more treatments from the chiropractor. The treatments were combined with bed rest, electrical stimulation, Motrin^®, aspirin, Tylenol^®, ice, heat, and massage. He had “the works” СКАЧАТЬ
