Certainly, one can act from within on an illness and
cure it. Only it is not always easy as there is much
resistance in Matter, a resistance of inertia. An
untiring persistence is necessary; at first one may fail
altogether or the symptoms increase, but gradually
the control of the body or of a particular illness
becomes stronger. Again, to cure an occasional
attack of illness by inner means is comparatively
easy, to make the body immune from it in future is
more difficult. A chronic malady is harder to deal
with, more reluctant to disappear entirely than an
occasional disturbance of the body. So long as the
control of the body is imperfect, there are all these
and other imperfections and difficulties in the use of
the inner force.
