It proposes that repeated suppression of natural behaviors and thoughts can lead to either schizophrenia externalized in fantasy or cancer internalized in the physical body. 2. On the mental level, obsession arises from suppression and conditioning. This can create a fixed, obsessive personality and disconnect one from the world. On the physical level, obsession becomes excrescence or figwart-like growths. 3. Cancerous tissue forms where there has been injury, trauma, or unnatural habits.

    from Thuja to the cancerous state -

    "A morbid obsession"


    by Misha Norland
    In the light of David Mundy's article on Carcinosin , I submit a few thoughts of my
    own. Although I wrote
    these down fouryears ago, and feel inretrospect that someofthe ideas are
    undeveloped,yet still Ihope that
    the general tone and content is comprehensible and helps to illuminate a dark area in
    which there is much
    room for speculation

    The mental sphere of Thuja's action is characterised by obsession. Obsession arises


    when the individual has been forced into submission by suppression.
    We become attached to ourconditioning,just as the
    Conditioning has been attached to us.We then condition the future,impressing upon it
    the projections of our psyche,a pseudo-masochistic type of response to the world,
    exemplified by such behaviour traits as:- "Kick me
    again to prove to me that life is unjust, so that I can feel the bruise, the tangible
    manifestation of my inner torment".This creates a sense ofsecurity, it ist he expected
    response: it hurts, therefore I am! Or again the fixed ideas typical of Thuja may be felt
    as though there were a watcher, a third party, one's internal censor; it
    is as though the mind is separated from the body. The world becomes an untrustworthy
    place, nature herself has become suspect and we cannot feel our bond with her.
    The threads of connection with which we touch the world are loosened.
    Think of the gonococcus weakening the bonds between the cells; their natural cohesion
    is disturbed and they are given to unruly multiplication typified by sycotic growths. This
    condition is produced by the suppression of bodily secretions and eliminations,where
    upon disease is forcedi n wards to internal organs. Vaccinations owe
    their action to the mobilization of the body's defence systems,they are left in a state of
    readiness,perpetually armed against the invader.What a good foundation for an
    obsessive personality!
    On a personality level therepeated suppressions of natural modes of behaviour, thoughts
    and actions may
    end in a schizophrenic state. We may hypothesize that cancer and schizophrenia are
    polarized
    manifestations of suppression, the former being internalised in the physical body, while
    thelatteris
    externalised inthe formof"non-reality" fantasy projections.Forinstance, the child of a
    parent whorepeatedlynegates
    the child's independence, suppressingthe libido, (seeR.D. Laing's thesis on the "double-
    bind" and schizophrenia)
    whereupon the child is forced ever and again into the land
    ofimaginationuntiltheboundariesbetweenthe
    internal and external world dissolve

    That which isobsession on the mentallevel,becomesexcrescence, figwart-like growth


    upon the physical. It is
    attached,typicallybyastalk, itis an appendage,
    anextraconsciousness.Byitsverynatureitisgiventoexcessiveness
    and greed.Itdesiresto growand toobtainindependent status. Itisbornbecauseofgreed,for
    itowesits existence to
    gonorrhoea, and had man remained at home, satisfied with his lot,
    thecontagionwouldneverhavebeen
    transmittedtohim.Associatedwiththe excrescence, its companionsand allies on themental
    plane areguilt, envy
    and jealousy, born out ofa deep rooted selfdistrust and disgust. These attributes are
    tightly bound up
    together, locked in one another's arms. One cannot see the component elements. The
    secret is concealed
    and the case is all jammed up. Slowness of recovery typifies the state
    ofaffairs,ortherecurrenceofillnesses,or
    accidents.
    The desire to smash and to destroy, to defile and
    denigrate,addthistothepicture,andyoucannolongerdetect
    the mother ship of all diseases: Psora , she is obscured by the flotilla of her satellites:
    the multifoldand
    colourful symptoms of Sycosis and Syphilis . The reciprocal action of these twomiasms
    is characterisedbythe
    impulse todestroy, going berserk,overgrowing,multiplying, devouring, aparasitic
    exuberance. This growth is
    morbid, for it lacks integration
    withinthebodilystructure;itiscomposedofundifferentiatedcancerous tissue
    which has assumed its own identity. Since it is composed of the body's own cells, the
    natural channels of
    defence and elimination are closed. The body succumbs to the disease and all subjective
    symptoms cease.
    Depression is the mentalstate,thebody havinggivenupthe fight.
    Thismorbidityisatfirstmanifestedbythepersonalityat the causativerealm of desires - that
    istosay at the incarna-
    tional vortex where the descending spiritclothes itselfwith the garment ofmateriality
    according to its nature,
    selecting the bodywithwhich it hasaffinity.Atthementallevel themorbidity is felt as the
    obsessive
    recollection and mulling overpast unpleasantness, undressed wrongs, guilt, and
    traumas.At the emotional level
    there is gloom, depression, a dreadful sinking of the spirits. At the physical level there is
    the cancer which
    forms at the sight of injury, or in the weakest organ. Thesedays, thiswilloftenbe
    thebowel.This is because of
    indulgent living and anxiety producing acidity. In women the trouble spotis oftenthe
    breasts,which have,
    ofcourse becomeobjectsof desire arousal,ratherthantheir intended function of suckling
    the young. In
    either case there is an unnatural redistribution of the vital body's activities. The
    bodybecomesstuckwiththe
    obsessionofthemind,withunnecessaryand harmful desires,and the groundwork
    formorbidity is laid.
    Homoeopathic cure is effected by arousing the body's vital force, so that symptoms are
    manifested and
    treated from time present towards time past, from above to below, and from the centre
    towards the
    periphery. Thus in the treatment of cancer, whichisthe final physicalmanifestationof
    thesubtlerrealms, wetreat
    thephysicalsymptomswithlowpotencyremedies.We must wait forphysicalchanges
    tooccur, for the unique
    symptomsof disease to appear before we can tackle the higher realms with higher
    potencies. We must
    prompt the individual up out of the physical state of inertia, help him to clear his house
    oftheareasofchaos
    andunrulyproliferationoftissueswhichthreatento usurphislife. Wemust also
    helpthebody'seliminative system
    to copewiththe toxicoverload, and give remedies tocleansetheblood,advise
    uponapurifying,vegetariandiet,
    free of the salts of sodium, etc., etc.
    To sum up, we have said that cancerous tissue is born ofthe cells ofhighlyintegrated
    structuresthat,having
    harbouredtraumaorunnaturalhabits,have gone primitive,regressed into the state of their
    embryological
    past. Shock produces a state ofethericstasisinwhichthebodycanno longerhealitself.
    Morbidityresults in the
    shuttingdownofwholeareasofnatural protection, so that cellular anarchy may result.
    Obsessive thoughtsfind
    their physicalcounterpart inovergrowth, overproductionandrecurrentconditions. Addto
    this Sycosis the Syphilitic
    colouring of self destructiveness, and the cancerous diathesis
    isborn.Weuselowpotenciestopromoteclearing

    the organs. High
