MEDICINE T67 



There are three kingdoms acting in the constitution 

 of man, an outer, an inner, and an innermost principle ; 

 namely, the external physical body, the inner (astral) 

 man, and the innermost centre or soul. Ordinary 

 (regular) physicians know hardly anything about the 

 external body, nothing about the inner man, the cause 

 of the emotions, and less than nothing about the soul. 

 Nevertheless, it is the divine spark in the soul which 

 created and supports the inner man, and the outer form 

 is the vehicle in which the inner man is outwardly 

 manifesting himself. Man's natural body is produced 

 by Nature ; but the power in Nature is God, and God 

 is superior to Nature. Man's divine spirit is therefore 

 able to change his nature, and to restore the health of his 

 physical form through the instrumentality of the soul. 



The medicine of Paracelsus deals not merely with the 

 external body of man, which belongs to the world of 

 effects, but more especially with the inner man and with 

 the world of causes, never leaving out of sight the 

 universal presence of the divine cause of all things. 

 His medicine is therefore a holy science, and its practice 

 a sacred mission, such as cannot be understood by those 

 who are godless ; neither can divine power be conferred 

 by diplomas and academical degrees. A physician who 

 has no faith, and consequently no spiritual power in him, 

 can be nothing else but an ignoramus and quack, even 

 if he had graduated in all the medical colleges in the 

 world and knew the contents of all the medical books 

 that were ever written by man. 



slowly developing and far more dangerous disease for a more acute and 

 less dangerous one. The reason why this is not generally known is 

 because the diseases inoculated by vaccination often appear only a long 

 time after its performance, and their cause is therefore not recognised. 

 Thus a lifelong suffering from eczema is often the consequence of 

 vaccination. 



As to the celebrated Pasteur cures, it is said that, of all his patient*, 

 ninety-six per cent, have died, while the remaining four were probably not 

 infected, and would have remained well anyhow.
