Causes of sickness
You say that indigestion, fatigue, sleeplessness, cause
distressed stomachs and aching heads. Then
you consult your brain in order to remember
what has hurt you, when your remedy lies in forgetting
the whole thing; for matter has no sensation of its own,
and the human mind is all that can produce pain.
As a man thinketh, so is he. Mind is all that feels,
acts, or impedes action. Ignorant of this, or shrinking
from its implied responsibility, the healing effort is made
on the wrong side, and thus the conscious control over the
body is lost.
