THE SPIRITUAL LAWS

Illness seen in the light of the law of love


You have mentioned on various occasions that there are physical
diseases which are related to certain feelings or their repression. I
would like to go into this in more depth now.

Yes. Many people become sick in their spirit precisely because they
have annulled their feelings and when the spirit becomes ill this also
makes the body ill, since they are intimately bound to each other.


You mean then, that a physical disease can have an emotional origin?
Indeed. The repression of feelings is the greatest cause of disease in
your world, both psychological and physical.


I can accept this with regard to mental diseases... but cancer? Has
science not demonstrated that cancer takes place due to genetic
alterations?

Genetic alterations are present in all cases, but in many of them they
are not the initial cause.


And what is the initial cause?
As I have said to you, the cause is psychosomatic and has to do with
the repression of the spiritual interior. It occurs when people do not act
or live in accordance with their feelings; an internal malaise takes
place deep within those people who suffer from this. That generates
psychically harmful ego-feelings such as fear, rage, hatred, sadness
etc., which are the causes of disease. This malaise can be stimulated
by an external cause, some type of circumstance in life which the
person finds really difficult to confront. We call this circumstance
emotional conflict.


And how does emotional malaise transmitted to the physical body end
up generating a disease?

When the person suffers emotionally there is a short circuit between the
spiritual and mental levels which are transmitted to the energetic or
astral body, this then suffers an alteration in its configuration, a
reduction in the vibratory level, a “decline of energy”, which will affect
a particular region of the astral body, like a kind of blackout which
may affect a part of the electrical circuit, which stops correctly
vitalising the area of the body to which it is connected. The lack of vital
energy brings about a disconnection of the devitalise region with
respect to the rest of the body, and, as a result of this, the devitalised
