A MIRACLE BREAKTHROUGH IN MENTAL AND GENERAL HEALTH
The cavemen discovered that to pull an animal carcass over a log was easier than to drag it on the ground, so a log was probably the inspiration for the wheel invention.
Since all actions of an organism are in the direction of survival, a scientist discovered that unconsciousness was a natural process to cushion the ultimate pain of death.
The state of unconsciousness was uncharted territory at that time, simply because the medical fraternity, by consensus, stated that there is no memory in such a state.
Inventions come about after discoveries, and the scientist ‘invented’ some processes whereby periods of unconsciousness could be studied.
With a group of volunteers, he did further research and made these startling discoveries:
The people in the research group had various periods of unconsciousness, but all had one period of unconsciousness in common, that of birth.
There is a complete and very accurate record (including perceptions) of everything that was said and done around an unconscious person. However, this record is not available to the person in a conscious state, and thus the statement by the medical profession that unconsciousness causes amnesia.
Unconsciousness is the greatest threat to survival, and the organism knows it.
All mental woes (repressions, compulsions, phobias, psychotic behaviour etc.) and psychosomatic ills (arthritis, ulcers, headaches etc.) have their roots in periods of unconsciousness.
When all the content of unconsciousness is refilled in the conscious memory banks, mental conditions and psychosomatic ills abates.
After the scientist codified the processes and wrote a thesis on the subject, he offered it to the American Medical Association as well as the American Psychiatric Association. Both of these associations are headed by medical doctors, and the scientist must have posed a threat to their survival (a sick patient means return business) because both associations refused his offer or to evaluate his research.
This novel is written as fiction, but is based on lesser known, important facts. It also explores what might have happened if the associations did accept his offer. The book provides the reader with the necessary information should the reader decide to pursue the subject.
