 thinking, back of crooked thinking are false ideas of God, man, life, people, situations and things.

We are asked every day “How do the mental states affect the body, and how is it of possible for mind to be the author of disease flesh or environment?” The answer is easy: all mental states affect the breathing, and breath is primarily the source of circulation; without breath there would be no force from behind which would keep the blood flowing through the body. All mental states act directly upon the blood circulation through the breath, and there are distinct lines of thinking which act at once upon the circulation. There is only one way by which disease can be established in the flesh, and that is through congestion of the blood–only as this congestion is released can normal action be reestablished.

All discordant states of mind such as worry, fear, anxiety, hate, resistance, unrest, strife, contention, etc., act directly on the circulation through the breath and thought force. It is impossible to find a normal breath where there is fear or any of these states of mind. The mental state prevents the blood from circulating normally, some organ is congested, and pain results.

Think of the fine mechanism of the brain like the works of the finest watch. Through worry or fear, some prolonged abnormal attitude of mind, some part of the brain is deluged with more blood than is needed in normal action and a low, prolonged headache is the result. Get
