The physical body of man operated from outside

By Rudolf Steiner – “The physical human eye is similar to a camera, for, as with the camera, there appears within it a picture of the surrounding world. Only when one abstracts from the physical eye everything that is not to be found in the camera, does one discover what is the specific nature of the physical eye.

So too one must abstract from the entire physical body everything that is not purely physical: only then does one have what in occultism is called the physical body.

In itself, it can neither live, think nor feel.

There then remains a very wisely ordered, extremely complicated automaton, a purely physical apparatus. This, alone, was all there was of human existence at the Old Saturn stage.

At that time the eyes were present only as little cameras. What was produced as [a] picture of the surrounding world came to the consciousness of a Deva being. In the middle of the Saturn evolution the so-called Asuras (the Archai) were sufficiently advanced to make use of the apparatus. At that time they were at the human stage.

They made use of the automata and the pictures they produced.

The Asuras themselves were not within the apparatus but outside and only made use of the pictures as we make use of photographic apparatus in order to take pictures of a landscape.

Thus the physical body of man was at that time an architectural structure of a physical apparatus operated from outside.

This is the first stage of human existence.”

How to recover repressed traumatic memories with hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT)

by Moe | Apr 4, 2019 | Latest Media

Some people and scientists foolishly think that repressed memories are a modern myth. They believe that the idea that memories of trauma can be banished into the unconscious and then reliably recovered years later as pseudoscience and the people who claim to recall these events are liars who are part of some dangerous fad or trendy witch hunt.

But the facts are science is proving that a new and safe treatment can suddenly invoke the recovery of repressed memories such as childhood sexual abuse (CSA).

Repressed memories, also known as dissociative amnesia is defined as the “inability to recall autobiographical information” and disproportionate retrograde amnesia with or without identity loss which normally happens in the context of psychological trauma such as child sexual abuse. It has also been given the term ‘functional amnesia’ to describe the condition because it appears to be a method of the brain to block these memories so the person can normally function as an adult as if the event never happened. (1)

Some people recover these memories during psychotherapy or events similar to those preceding the amnesia or never and in some cases, it is said that distraction or sedation may trigger these memories. A new method is being reported by researchers that is having surprising results.

Researchers have found that the recovery of repressed memories such as childhood sexual abuse (CSA) of patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) can be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is characterized by chronic widespread pain and along with symptoms of fatigue, non-restorative sleep, and cognitive difficulties. FMS can be induced by trauma, infection or emotional stress.

It’s as if the hyperbaric oxygen is awakening dormant brain regions.

A 2018 research paper shows a series of 9 female fibromyalgia patients who received HBOT and then suddenly recalled repressed traumatic memories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). They found that these repressed (dissociative) memories occurred suddenly with no warning decades after the sexual abuse events. No psychological intervention was involved.

Amazingly, as the patients recalled their memories, the physical pain related to the fibromyalgia subsided. In one patient who had brain single photon emission CT (SPECT) before and after HBOT, the prefrontal cortex appeared suppressed before and reactivated after. The 3 cases reported in this article are representative of a total of nine fibromyalgia patients who experienced a retrieval of repressed memory during HBOT.
