The years 1974, 1977 and onward were important years in the calendar of my spiritual awakening, consciousness, recognitions and, hopefully, self-consciousness. Of self-consciousness, I am still struggling in spirit for the right understanding. For now, my perception is that consciousness of existence adorns a growing human spirit seed germ with the human form, that it is not everyone in human form who is a human being, that the human being is a self-conscious human spirit who does not oppose The Will of God with his Free Will. Being self-conscious suggests recognising who one is, where one came from, why one came here, the structure of creation in which one exists, other creatures in that creation, the Lord’s of Creation which govern relationships among all creatures and relationships between all creatures and their Creator. From the foregoing, it may be envident that not all persons in human form are Human Beings. At best, they would be persons who are conscious that they exist, like animals, but not concious of what in them really exist. How many persons know that they are human spirits from the Spirit world, even when they say they are to worship their Creator in spirit? There is no human being who will commit the dastardly acts we observe almost everywhere on earth today.
In these matters, I do not equate being “spiritual” with being “religious”. Spiritualism is “what is”, that is “living”and”tangible”, whereas “religious”, deriving from religion, is an attempt to understand spiritualism. We may, therefore, be very religious, able to quote the scriptures from cover to cover, but never spiritual. Peter, James and John never saw the Holy Dove above the Head of Jesus nor of the equal armed Cross before Him, both signs that He was an Envoy of God on earth, otherwise they would have asked Him about them and informed us as they did their experiences of The Transfiguration. Joseph, on his death bed, his inner eyes opening, would behold these signs and say of Him in his last words…So, THOU ART HE!
I hope I have given sufficient hints that being a religious person does not mean a person is spiritual. In error, both words are often interchanged in the vocabulary. How many religious Christians see any illogicality in the teaching of their faith that the dead would remain in their graves until the Rapture of Judgement Day would bear them aloft to Heaven and the appearance of Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration of Jesus? Is there no illogicality, also, in the teaching of their religion that Re-incarnationn is falsehood, and the statement of Jesus that Elijah had returned to this earth, had not been recognised by a population faithfully awaiting his promised return who had done to him whatever they did? From the statement of Jesus, His deciples erroneously concluded that Elijah was Johh theBaptist! I am sorry if you belive I have digressed a little too far from the subject. I consider separating spiritualism and religion important for an understanding of the subject.
Mental health and religion
Centuries ago, religion misled society about some mental health questions. Persons gifted with extra sensory perception( ESP), such as clairvoyance, clairaudience or Clairsentience, were branded mentally deranged or burnt alive on hot metal plates, as witches. Some were tied to stakes,set on fire, given boiling water or poisons to drink, if they did not plead guilyto charges framed by the religious order and confirmed by an earth-bound judicial order. In those days, I would not be courageous as I am today to announce as I often do on this page, that I had my first OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE (OBE)at 24 or that, at 48, my father came to me in a dream about 20 minutes after he left the flesh, to announce his departure and to remind me of what to do with his earthly remains. Would I have been able to speak about a young woman who would scream in her sleep, get out of bed and rush into her mother’s bedroom saying there were snakes crawling on her bed?
My foster daughter would come out of a bad dream, screaming that a strange, dark woman, was pursuing her and asking her for “ the book of riches”. Sometimes, she went to answer knocks on the gate and found her hand passed through the door and the guest did not notice her. Haven’t experienced such things, I could guide her without denying her the lessons they were offering her for the development of her spirit. It is for the development of the spirit into self-conscious human beings that all of us are on earth. This comes through natural spiritual activity, which is by no means spiritism or occult training and all of that. In normal spiritual experiences, there are spiritual guides and helpers who, when the time is right and the radiation of the blood permits, start us off from where we left it all before this earth life.On earth, we are in the last outpost of a huge creation the Author and Will of which we must know in addition to everything which connects with us and to which we are connected. Religion cannot teach us all of these. It is no more than whatever human beings remember of a message sent to them during a new epoch of spiritual development in creation which they often configured to whatever they could remember of it, with interpretations which suited their human will and quest for power and influence over fellow men. Then, they rain in the adherents with dogmas through which the faithful become loyal to the religious organisation and not to God
Today, the society’s appreciation of mental, or shall we say psychic, questions is hardly different from the understanding of them centuries ago. The form of social responses may have changed, civilised under the pressure of modernists and modernism, but the contents are basically almost unchanged, stigmatisation is still potent, and many persons are still too quick to judge, too free with words,drawing easy conclusions about what they know too little about . Even many psychiatrists and clinical psychologists are escooned in the world of their own profession, often oblivious of Creation.
Depression, Bi- polarism and the intestine
In holistic medicine therapies, mental health is not limited to the brain simply because the brain is associated with good conduct or behaviour and abnormal behaviour must then originate from it. Many holistic therapists begin their remedial work, therefore, from the intestine from where, according to British surgeons a few years ago, “ Death Begins Slowly But Surely in the Intestine”. What they mean by this is that the intestine generates lots of toxins which, when bottled up there or discharge too slowly may seep into the blood stream and, from there, invade the organs, the prostate gland and to the brain for example. In the brain, these toxins may cause mental confusion,sluggish biochemistry and nerve responses, headache, migraines, mood swings, depression,bi-polar behaviours and even suicide thoughts. One of the major challenges of mental health in this regard is CANDIDA ALBICANS, a member of the fungi or yeast family. Excess sugar consumption aggravates overgrowth of its population in the intestine. This overgrowth is often reflected in the grayness of the tongue,which, naturally, should be pinkish red in colour. In persons with furred tongues, the fungi roots dig deep into the tongue, sucking nutrients from it and emitting afflatoxins which are probable cancer causing agents. These toxins wreak havocs in the brain when they invade it, after manipulating their ways through the naturally protective BRAIN-BLOOD BARRIER which should keep away from the brain dangerous substances. Many psychiatrists and nutritionists miss this fine point. Behaviour imbalance is all they draw their conclusions from, especially if the potential patient had an history of the use of psychoactive drugs or of serious disappointments in life which may have disposed them to anxiety, grieving, circadian sleep disorders, mood swings, attention Deficit and hyperactivity Disorder( ADHD), poor cognition and related conditions. Thus, many psychiatric patients reject anti depressant drugs when they are free from confinement. In some countries, the law now permits them to reject these drugs even in hospital.
This column will examine possible connections between intestinal problems caused by candida overgrowth and the behavioural symptoms including brain disorders of Bi-Polar syndrome, Insanity and Possession. It will attempt to challenge conceptions rigidly rooted in the Nigerian psychic that persons with psychiatric or mental health condition are insane or mad.
Gut Axis
This is one of the sub-headings of research reports in the internet which I considered relevant to this conversation. “The Gut- Axis” belongs to an article titled Gut Microbiome and Mental Health by Nature Reviews Neuroscience 2019. Candida Albicans and Mental Health comes from the Journal of Fungi 2020. There is, also, Fungi Overgrowth and Schizophrenia from Schizophrenia Research 2018.
The report say:
“Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections can contribute to depression through various mechanisms:
Direct Mechanisms:
1. Toxins: S. aureus produces toxins that can alter neurotransmitter balance, leading to mood disturbances.
2. Inflammation: Chronic inflammation caused by S. aureus infections can disrupt neurotransmitter production and function.
3. Hormonal Imbalance: S. aureus infections can disrupt hormone regulation, particularly cortisol and thyroid hormones.
•Indirect Mechanisms:
1. Gut-Brain Axis: S. aureus alters gut microbiota, leading to changes in neurotransmitter production and mood regulation.
2. Oxidative Stress: S. aureus infections increase oxidative stress, damaging brain cells and contributing to depression.
3. Immune System Activation: Chronic activation of the immune system can lead to fatigue, malaise, and mood disturbances.
Symptoms of S. aureus-related depression include: Mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, difficulty concentrating, irritability, physical symptoms (e.g. headaches, joint pain).
Studies
1. A 2018 study found that S. aureus colonisation was associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety.
2. A 2020 review suggested that S. aureus infections may contribute to the development of depression through inflammatory and oxidative stress mechanisms”.
Candida, Fungi Cure
A person whose brain is embattled by toxins from candida, other fungi and yeast and mold overgrowth in the intestine may be helped back to normal brain function and life by several medicinal plants. My favorite is Olive Leaf Extract in whatever form.Some of its active ingredients are the phenolic compounds called Oleuropien, which exhibits antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant properties, Hydroxty-Tyrosol (anti-inflamatory), Tyrosol (anti-oxidant, anti-microbial) Oleuropieoside (a glycoside, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant), Flavonoids and Lavonoids such as Quercitin, kaemferol e.t.c.
Also useful are garlic, coconut oil, Tee Tree Oil, turmeric, baberine, grape fruit seed extract, Oregano Oil, caprylic acid e.t.c. A war waged with them in the intestine may deplete friendly bacteria population and cause other challenges. Such interventions are better followed up with prebiotic and probiotic therapies.
Staphylococcus Aureus
This is a commensal bacterium which troubles many persons, but which they know more for disruptions in their reproductive systems. Staph, as it is also known, is said to be commensal because it lives in our bodies and cause no problem unless our immunity is down. It may manifest as boils, abscesses, cellulitis,infected hair follicles, pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, sepsis, fever, chills, rapid heart beat, endocarditis, bone pain, swellings, redness, meningitis, headache, stiff neck and confusion, fatigue, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, pus-filled bums or abscesses, barber’s rash, seizures e.t.c.
Depression
This condition is not only about nutritional defficiencies and grieving, sadness, negative energy and all of that. In the brain, Alpha and Delta toxins of Staphylococcus aureus may disrupt Neuro transmitter balance( serotonin, melatonin, dopamin e.t.c), damage brain cells, trigger inflammation, cause a variety of nutrient absorption, increase toxin production, disrupt neuro-transmitter signalling, disrupt hormone regulation (in particulary cortisol), stress hormone, and thyroid hormones. Many of the plant medicines which fight fungal troubles are also applicable here. Some of them are Olive Leaf Extract, Garlic, Golden seal Root, Echinacea e.t.c. For mood boosting, there are ST John Wort, Ashwanghandah and Ginkgobiloba. In the food supplements group are Omega-3 fatty acids for inflamation and probiotics, Magnesium (Neuro – transmitter regulation and Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin D.
Many of the cases some psychiatrists and lay persons see as insanity are those of possession, and some cases termed as possession are not. A person may be possession of fixationwhich makes him or her to act irregularly. When a house is haunted and the presence of some-one is associated with it, such a person is thought to be possessed. This is wrong. There may be departed person in that house bound or attached there for whatever reason who has merely found the blood radiation of a living person in the house suitable for self-expression. Bottles may clink, tables may move and contents of a pot on a stove may spill. Several years ago, in London, a baby made news waves. In supermarkets, her blood radiations cause cash machines to jam, and automatic doors refused to open. The baby was called a Miracle Baby. In some circles, the newspaper headlines could have been possessed baby, if that would not provoke libel suits. It was the blood radiation of this baby that some earth bound souls were manipulating. Real cases of possession are double personality persons. The voltages of their blood radiations are low and permitted low spiritual entities to “hack” into them. The scenario need explainations…
1. The EARTH MAN is a TRIOLOGY of SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY. The spirit is the man. He came from the Spirit world to develop himself on earth. He passed through several planes of existence on the way to the earth. In each plane, he covered himself with the bodily material of that plane. Of him it is said: “I knew of thee before I formed thee in thy mother’s womb”. Before he came to the earth, the spirit and his non-earth bodies is known as the soul. An earth man who discards his body in “death”of that body is a Soul.
2. When the Soul enters the body in a woman’s womb is when the growing body makes its first kicks to signal it had come alive with reception of this “Breath of Life”. Until then, it depended on the host mother’s blood circulation for its survival. Now, its own blood is formed! The spirit is largely responsible for blood formation. That is why no two persons have the same blood identity, even in the same blood group as haematologists of the future would discover
3. This is because it is through the radiation of the blood that the spirit controls the body
4. The spirit is connected with the spiritual world from where it came to the earth.The earth body is constructed to work with him as his servant on earth. To express himself on earth, the spirit uses this machinery. The impression are communicated through the attachment to the body(the Silver Cord)at the solar plexus to the back brain and from there to the front brain. Like a baby in the womb connected with the mother through the umblical cord, the soul is connected to the solar plexus by an astral silvercord. Impressions from the Spirit kernel pass through the silver cord to the Solar Plexus and,from there, to the back brain( cerebellum) which converts the impressions into pictures or images. The pictures and images are sent through radiations of the blood to the frontal brain.( the cerebrum). The frontal brain converts them to thought which impact the nerves to produce feeling and imagination which may result in physical action( speech) writing, locomotion or physical deeds. The in-dwelling human spirit, through the soul, accomplishes this control of the body through the blood radiation which is dependent on the composition of the blood. In possession, a foreign soul exploits a weakened or low blood radiation to take control of a portion of the brain to become a co-user of the brain and body. This is what gives rise to the split personality observed in some persons who are often thought to be insane but are not. Some Nigerian traditional medicines men know how to send the invading earth- bound soul away. Nutritionists use nutrition to recompose the blood. Psychotherapists and educators in spiritualism do change negative content in the soul to positive content, and this had profound effects on the nature of the blood. Wrong, unwholesome and lifeless foods degrade the composition and radiation of the blood,disturb quality of sleep and dreams. Please check the internet for SEMYOR KIRILLIAN work on the life force fields of foods. Chemical poisons in food, air and water are also detrimental to blood quality.
In sanity, some brain cells are probably damaged. However, I have heard of the wife of a prominent Nigerian who was diagnosed BRAIN DEAD in Nigeria and in the United States but who returned home and, in nutrition, recovered her brain and took a Ph.D degree from a university.
For want of space, I apologise I am unable today to accommodate DEMONS in this conversation. I will do in future.
