PARACELSUS
"I got into Meditation because I was inhibited. Turns out I was inhabited!"
Paracelsus von Hohenheim (1490-1541) was the outstanding medical therapist of his time and, perhaps, the greatest mystic in the history of Western medicine. He devoted his life to research in the healing arts. Paracelsus visited Constantinople to acquaint himself with the secret practices of the Dervishes and the Sufis.
The following is an excerpt from Paracelsus - His Mystical and Medical Philosophy, by Manly P. Hall, published by the Philosophical Research Society:
[According to Paracelsus]…the elementary energy blockage is an artificial being, created in the invisible worlds by man himself - and some of the guys who do this are really bad people. In harmony with more recent findings, Paracelsus noted that most elementaries energy blockages seem to be of an evil or destructive nature. They are generated from the excesses of human thought and emotion, the corruption of character, or the degeneration of faculties and powers which should be used in other, more constructive ways….
Bad habits, emotions, addictions, irritation - all from energy blockages.
Man is therefore a creator, not merely in terms of the perpetuation of the species, but especially in terms of the imagination. Man is creative in the arts, sciences, and philosophies, but his creative powers are not only external, but also internal. Because he lives, man bestows life, and he can generate creatures from his thoughts and emotions….The power to create is the power of vibration, by which anything is set into a peculiar motion….
The invisible progeny of man include thought-forms and emotion-forms energy blockages . These are like infants or inner children, especially in their beginnings, for they depend upon their creator for their nutrition and survival. Later, however, if the forces which generate continue to operate, these thought and emotion-forms gain strength, finally attaining a kind of independence….Having thus become even stronger than their creator, these thought and emotion-forms energy blockages will turn upon the one who fashioned them, often causing in him a terrible habit or addiction and destroying his health and happiness.
We know that the human psyche can become ridden with pressure centers or pressure-patterns which we call fixations, complexes, phobias, and the like. We know that these negative psychic formation energy blockages are nourished by the continued repetition of the attitudes which caused them. We say that negative attitudes become habitual energy blockages, by degrees taking over and destroying the mental and emotional integrity of the individual.
A fixation energy blockage, well nourished by attitudes suitable for its perpetuation, intensifies, becoming actually avaricious and resolved to dominate or possess the entire life of its unhappy victim….
Modern thinking therefore, sheds light upon the concept of elementaries energy blockages, extending beyond the basic research of Paracelsus…[He] used the term obsession to signify possession by an entity. Today the term is used to signify possession by an abnormal attitude….Is it possible that the abnormal attitude has gradually become an entity?
…Many persons under psychological obsession energy blockages resist treatment, as though some foreign creature were fighting for its survival in them….
Out of his philosophy of elementaries energy blockages, Paracelsus came to the conclusion that a very large part of what we consider to be disease, results from psychic parasites energy blockages generated by wrong thoughts and emotion - Energy Blockages of this particular type.
