"We have a fellow who has a bum right foot and we ask him
to 'Put a communication line through to your right foot.' This
is a real old process, way back: 'Put a communication line
through to your right foot.' 'Now, have your right foot put a
communication line through to you.' 'Now you put a
communication line through to your right foot.' 'Now, have
your right foot put a ...'
"All of a sudden — boom, bang — something
occurs, facsimile blows, something happens and the difficulty
with the right foot disappears and that is the end of that
difficulty. This was a test process. It didn't work sometimes
because a person was unable to put a communication line
through to his right foot in the first place. He simply wasn't
doing so, so his right foot got in bad condition. Right foot
out of communication, still being used by the individual,
therefore will get into bad condition.
"So in the absence of communication, we had psychosomatic
illness. And that's true. A person who is having difficulty
with his body is out of communication with that point of his
body, and this we can say very neatly and very nicely. A
person who doesn't like his body or who finds something very
wrong with his body, is out of communication with his body. We
can just draw this instant conclusion. There's no further
argument or ifs, ands, or buts about it."
