Letter from a Client - Mental Illness a WAR with THOUGHTS
"Hi Tamara,
I have been passing through lots of interesting experiences
and I learned some things that I thought might be of help to your
daughter. You mentioned awhile back that her bipolar was bothering
her again.
This last week I passed through more pain and
insanity than I did when I was in the mental hospital...but I learned some
very helpful things.
I finally understand that this whole "bipolar"
thing is about the WAR within my thoughts!!!!!!!!
The "negative energy" has used a very
effective strategy to destroy my peace. As far as I have understood this
is it...
1. They begin with the CONSTANT bombardment of negative
thoughts in my own thought/voice. Like wood peckers trying to drill
into my brain, these thoughts are constantly inviting me away from Gods Spirits thoughts.
Brother Fletcher call's these "thought
viruses". The most effective ones seems to be "I am a
victim",
(Etsuko told me that in her experience this "victim thought virus is always involved with a candida overgrowth in the body (which I am FULL of and have been all my life); blaming others,criticisms, etc. are other damning viruses.
(Etsuko told me that in her experience this "victim thought virus is always involved with a candida overgrowth in the body (which I am FULL of and have been all my life); blaming others,criticisms, etc. are other damning viruses.
Once one little thought chain is listened too, step 2
goes into effect...
2. Open the hole into the brain
wider by quickly pouring in more negatively inspired evidence of
whatever it was I chose to believe. Over time, depending on how long
it takes them to convince me of the truth of their lies, like a chain
getting thicker and thick with every accepted lie, and my mind getting darker
and my feelings get more contentious and soon the Spirit is gone from
my heart. Then they begin step #3.
3. Once I am at the point of angry irrational blindness, I
quickly sink into despair (feeling their feelings perhaps + my own at loosing
the Spirits companionship?) I have recognized by now that I don't have peace
and am praying desperately to get it back but am in a very bad place and I
can't see much light or have much hope...it sneaks up. If they can extinguish
my hope I am defeated.
This last experience, as I had sunk into despair and could
seen no light it felt like an eternity of the pains of hell. The
words that seemed to keep me afloat were from the temple...repeating them over
and over and pleading with the Lord to save me. I saw the
shadowy outlines of 5 negative energy beings working frantically
over me (I was lying on my bed, trying to sleep...it was late into the
night). I saw them waist up, so they must have been kneeling or sitting
through me somehow. They were feverishly working...the motion
looked/felt something like whipping an egg. (I believe this must
be some kind of energy work...like the motions of Reiki used for
negative). Finally I felt the angels of God come and push off the
negative energies but their damage hung on for a long time. I fell
asleep but I know at least one guardian angel was there still in the
morning. Some how they clean and repair during the night. I am so
thankful.
Etsuko did distance energy work on me, taught me more about
keeping myself more in constant light.
(So this is what I thought might help your daughter...
I've been flooding myself with light...especially my
thoughts...
- Daily scriptures and prayer (and as needed...In the
"crazy" when I would read the Book of
-M[ormon], Mormon Tab[ernacle] choir hymns CONSTANTLY floating in one ear.
When I am monitoring how I am feeling, I can choose to tune in to the music of
faith and short circuit the thought viruses.)
-Essential oils (the vitamins by DoTerra are great)
especially frankincense on the top of my head, my 3rd eye chakra, my heart
chakra, and navel.
-I use Wild Orange or OnGuard (by DoTerra) on the back of my
neck, head, and shoulders when I feel the negative energies attack (do you know
how they do this? How do they get through my aura? Oil immediately
usually stops the pain.
-Healthy diet full of green veggies...word of wisdom...
- Learning to love myself (the EFT has been helpful in this
and learning to love my body).
I think my sickness began because of my
very damaged heart and the pain of negative emotional "slivers"
coming out. I am trying to completely connect every chakra with
Father, especially my heart. If He holds my heart, I hope it will feel
safe enough to enable me to be a healthy mom and wife.
I know the physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of our
being are all connected and that I need to be strong in all of these to keep
balanced to maintain peace. It seems like if I am weak in any of these
areas, I am much more vulnerable to attack.
I stopped eating sugar and processed foods and am working to
be free of candida.
I think because I have been so low, the "road
way" in my brain is already established. I am quicker to fall, if I
start down that path, but IF I DON'T START down the path, they have no power
over me.
In summary,
1. I believe my bipolar learning opportunity is caused
by negative energies.
2. I have lots of power to choose to stay in
"light" places, especially when I know what I am dealing with.
3. This opportunity is being turned into a blessing
... to make me stronger, to give me experience, to motivate me to give my whole
soul to my God.
This really is warfare! I hope something of this might
be helpful for your daughter.
Do you have any thoughts about how to get my heart chakra
healthy? Can someone with a broken/ unattached heart have the gift
of Charity...which I think means I would always have the love to give my
family?
How to do more cleansing of negative emotional
triggers? What do you call what you did with me at Etsuko's house?
I have been free of my meds for 3 years but I think drug
residues in my systems are still making me vulnerable. I hate
presciption drugs! Do you have any drug cleansing ideas?
Hope you are well. Thank you for all you have taught.

The mind-body connection and emotions
Thoughts and emotions greatly affect your health. The Bible says “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...” (Prov 23:7); Job said, “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” (Job 3:25). Behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts. (Jer 6:19) President Kimball taught: "Every thought that one permits through his mind leaves its trace. Thoughts are things. Our lives are governed a great deal by our thoughts." (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball p 154) Evidently, thoughts becoming things was taught by prophets long before the people quoted on the popular movie "The Secret." The book of Moses teaches us this creation principle, that things are created first spiritually, then temporally. Lectures on Faith 7:3 teaches, “When a man works by faith he works by mental exertion instead of physical force.”
Brent & Wendy C. Top pose a very interesting thought, “Perhaps in discovering the electromagnetic field scientists have merely found a way to detect and measure the real energy of the spirit body and the intelligence or Light of Christ which comprises it.” ( Glimpses Beyond Death’s Door, p254) I believe their supposition has merit since D&C 84:45 teaches “...whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.”
It seems to me that science and religion might be talking about the same things, just using different language. Quantum physicists say everything is composed of vibrations that emit frequencies into the universe. Dr. Sari Suttka wrote, “Energy is in-FORM-ation which creates a vibration that manifests into a pattern which emits a signal that can be found somewhere along an electromagnetic spectrum.”
Religious leaders use different words to teach the same principle. David O. McKay taught that we affect others constantly by “radiation.” He said the effect of our words is being broadcast to the world. “There is one responsibility which no man can evade; that responsibility is his personal influence. Man's unconscious influence is the silent, subtle radiation of personality -- the effect of his words and his actions on others. This radiation is tremendous. Every moment of life man is changing, to a degree, the life of the whole world. Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other man. He cannot escape for one moment from this radiation of his character, this constant weakening or strengthening of others. Man cannot evade the responsibility by merely saying that it is an unconscious influence. Man can select the qualities he would permit to be radiated. He can cultivate sweetness, calmness, trust, generosity, truth, justice, loyalty, nobility, and make them vitally active in his character. And by these qualities he will constantly affect the world. This radiation, to which I refer, comes from what a person really is, not from what he pretends to be. Every man by his mere living is radiating either sympathy, sorrow, morbidness, cynicism, or happiness and hope or any one of a hundred other qualities. Life is a state of radiation and absorption. To exist is to radiate; to exist is to be the recipient of radiation.” (David O. McKay, April 1948, emphasis added)
Pres. McKay shared more on how our thoughts vibrate outward and how we are the recipients of other’s vibrational frequencies toward us. “Every man and every person who lives in this world wields an influence whether for good or for evil. It is not what he says alone; it is not alone what he does. It is what he is. Every man, every person radiates what he or she really is. Every person is a recipient of radiation. The Savior was conscious of that. Whenever He came into the presence of an individual, He sensed that radiation -- whether it was the woman of Samaria with her past life; whether it was the woman who was to be stoned, or the men who were to stone her; whether it was the statesman, Nicodemus, or one of the lepers. He was conscious of the radiation from the individual. And to a degree so are you, and so am I. It is what we are and what we radiate that affects the people around us. As individuals, we must think nobler thoughts. We must not encourage vile thoughts or low aspirations. We shall radiate them if we do. If we think noble thoughts; if we encourage and cherish noble aspirations, there will be that radiation when we meet people, especially when we associate with them. (David O. McKay, 1964, emphasis added)
“Thought is electrical energy or vibration that quickly enters your brain-servant, and stimulates the creation of matching molecules of emotion- (endorphins or depressants, etc.) The information and emotion molecules relay the positive or negative chemicals along with their connecting thought vibrations, down the nervous system, and direct the nerves and muscles in this intelligent human body. You can feel the vibrations as tingling sensations. This is an amazing discovery in each of us. What you think about becomes the directives for this two-part system to follow! Say what you desire for you to become.” (Carolyn Ringger, anangelstouchstor.com) Elder Packer said, “Remember, Nephi told his rebellious brothers, who had rejected a message from an angel, “Ye were past feeling, that ye could not feel his words. (see1 Nephi 17:45, Ensign, Apr 2005, 8 ) A related principle is taught by Nephi who said his spoken words were even mightier than his written ones. (2 Nephi 33:1 See also Ether 12:23)
The words we use affect our health. The Old Testament teaches: “Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” (Prov 16:24). I believe Jesus taught the principle of the power of our words when he said: “Not that which goeth into a mouth defileth a man, but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” (Matt. 15:11) No wonder we are taught “If ye do not watch yourelves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds... ye must perish.” (Mosiah 4:30) LDS author, Garth Allred wrote a fabulous book which emphasizes the effect of thoughts on health. Traditional medicine has mostly ignored the mind/body connection, but fields such as psychoneuroimmunology are changing that.
