Magnesium and Life

Excerpts from The Chemistry of Man by Bernard Jensen Ph.D.
Pages 226-227 chapter on Magnesium
Disorders caused by short-circuit in brain: schizophrenic tendencies, borderline insanity, behavioral inconsistency, neuroses, cataleptic afflictions, manic-depressive disturbances, claimed clairvoyant visions, hypnotic trance, abnormal moods, fantasies- all are caused by breakdown or short circuit in communication in the brain’s white fibers, as are choreic neurosis and many other mangalore symptoms and idiosyncrasies. All mark magnesium impoverishment.

Magnesium lack and hypnosis may be related:
There are many other disorders which call for a diet rich in magnesium, the “relaxer”. These include spams due to presence of toxins or harmful germ life; peri-cardinal complains, ailments of the nervous system, some of which are caused by acids and toxins in the nerves. Excessive participation in seances, overuse of hypnosis, overwork in healing practices and mesmerism brought on by strong individual’s call for magnesium because nerve and brain matter are dried out, “burned out”, heated and inflamed.

Negative emotions destroy magnesium reserves Negative passions such as hatred, temper, outbursts, jealousy, quarrels, resentment, bitterness, hostility, selfishness, greed, need magnesium; so do feats, dreads, worry, panic, paranoia, nerve shocks, overwork or over study, loss of loved one.
Such emotions break down phosphorus extensively and the nerves and brain become overheated; then magnesium is essential.
The more phosphorus used by the brain, the more phosphates must be eliminated by the body, and the process calls for magnesium.
Negative emotions are disastrous to health even under the best of care.

I believe that the natural foods work similar to homeopathic principles. The better mineral balance we have, the easier it is to attract more of the same into us. Like attracts like. We can attract certain kinds of chemical elements through living a life in accord with the laws of life. When we begin to relax in living, we will attract more magnesium to us.
Yogananda said that he could attract iron to his body through his mental concept about iron. Here is a very advanced idea. The nearer we are to the higher life of the soul, in other words, the more we have a balance in harmony with the finer forces of nature.
We can put ourselves in a state of vibration that attracts to us what we need, or what we are short of. Every note in the scale vibrates to the seventh note below or the seventh note above. Wherever you are in the scale of life, it is possible to pick up what is higher or lower, according to your needs. We are speaking of a derp study which beats ion our potentials and our futures. Once again, we need to concentrate on how man is a unity of body, mind and spirit.
