| a. Diet A reasonable line of life maintains the harmony of the elements in the body As soon as a disharmony in the effect of elements becomes manifest, the elements being extant in a weakened or a prevailing way, special measures have to be taken as far as food is concerned to carry the elements back to their normal course or at least to influence them favorably in this respect. Therefore the most varying diets are prescribed for specific cases. In times long passed, numerous observation led men to this opinion, of which they ignored the exact reason. If the disturbance of the elements is such as to render visible this disharmony, it is no longer solely a disharmony but we have to deal with an illness. This will mean that more drastic remedies will be necessary to reestablish the indispensable harmony, providing we desire to bring the body back to its normal function and complete recovery. All the curing methods known up to this day have been based on this fundament. I desist from particularizing such methods, as most of them are generally known. The natural therapy employs thermic effects such as bathing, poultices, herbs, massages, etc. The allopathist utilizes concentrated medicines, which are causing the effects corresponding to the elements and destined to repair health. The homoeopathist brings to life the contrasting element according to the device “Similia similibus curantur” to achieve the balance of all that is in danger in conformity with the polarity laws. The electro-homoeopathist by use of his remedies, influences the electrical and magnetical fluids directly to balance the disorderly elements, according to the kind of illness, by a suitable reinforcement of these fluids. And so each curing method serves the purpose of restoring the disturbed equipoise of the elements. By studying these influences of the elements on our body, the magnetopath or magnetizer has far more possibilities of influencing the body through his powers, especially if he is capable to awake the electrical or magnetical fluid consciously in himself, increasing and transferring it into the part of the body that has come into disharmony. I have dedicated a special heading of this book to the practical side of this treatment. So far the total functions of the body have been stated in detail. But each part of the body is also, in analogy with the effect of the elements in the body, influenced by a specific element, which finds its expression in the polarity of the responsive part of the body. It happens to be a very interesting fact that in the workshop, respectively in the clockwork or mechanism, which is to say in the human organism, some organs, from the inside to the outside, reciprocally own the electrical fluid, and from the outside to the inside they possess the magnetical fluid, which affects the functions in the entire organism in an analogous and harmonious way. In other organs the reverse process takes place, the electrical fluid operating from the outside to the inside, the magnetical one from the inside to the outside. This knowledge of the polar emanation is called in the hermetic art the “occult anatomy of the body”. And the knowledge of the effect of this occult anatomy is extremely important for every adept who wants to know his body, to influence and to control it. I shall therefore describe this occult anatomy of the human body with respect to the electrical and magnetical fluid, that is to say, in the positive and in the negative sphere of action. These arguments will turn to magnetopath’s great advantage because he will treat the sick part of the body wither with the electrical or the magnetical fluid, according to the center of the disease. But this knowledge will bring great profit to everybody else too. The Head: The forepart is electric, the back of the head is magnetic and so is the right side; the left side is electric and so is the middle. The Eyes: The forepart is neutral and so is the background. The right side is electric and so it is with the left side. The inside is magnetical The Ears: Forepart neutral, back part also. Right side is magnetical, left side electrical, inside neutral. Mouth and Tongue: Forepart neutral, back part as well. Right side and left side both neutral, inside magnetical. The Neck: Forepart, back part and right side magnetical, left side and inside electrical. The Chest The Chest: Forepart electromagnetic, back part electrical, right side and inside neutral, left side electrical. The Abdomen: Forepart electrical, back part and right side magnetical left side electrical, the inside magnetical. The Hands: Forepart neutral, back part also, right side magnetical, left side electrical, the inside neutral. The Fingers of the Right Hand: Fore- and back part neutral, right side electrical, left side also, the inside neutral. The Fingers of the Left Hand: Fore- and back part neutral, right side electrical, left side as well, the inside neutral. The Feet: Fore- and back part neutral, right side magnetical, left side electrical, the inside neutral. The Male Genitals: Forepart electrical, back part neutral, right and left side also, the inside magnetical. The Female Genitals: Forepart magnetical, back part, right and left side neutral, the inside electrical. The Last Vertebra & Anus: Fore and back part neutral, right and left side as well, the inside magnetical. With the help of this occult anatomy and the key of the tetrapolar magnet, the adept may compile further analogies if wanted. The alchemist will recognize that the human body represents a genuine Athanor in which the most perfect alchemistic process, the Great Work or the preparation of the Philosophers’ Stone is visibly performed. Herewith the chapter dealing with the body is finished. I do not assert that all has been regarded, but in any case, with respect to the elements, I mean to say, the four-pole magnet, I have treated the most important problems and revealed the secret of the tetragrammaton in view of the body. |
