Arthur Guirdham wrote, “She (Mrs. Smith) said, that if she started remembering too much she ran a high temperature and developed a severe headache. I do not know about the high temperature but the headache is interesting and perfectly in order. A proportion of cases of migraine are attributable to psychic factors.” What can Creator tell us about this?

It is certainly the case many times that stress in any form will have somatic consequences through disrupting things in the body, and this may well translate into inner tension, tightness, to produce physical symptoms of many kinds. Changes in blood flow alone can produce physical symptoms, as is true of headaches, and be triggered by subconscious, let alone, conscious awareness of difficulty. So here again is a physical demonstration of the consequence of karma, that the woman had terrible times, although centuries ago in another lifetime, and having recalled it and begun worrying about it, it was taking a toll on her body from the stress reaction being triggered by the deep subconscious in this case. This was unknown to this author, as a still undiscovered level of the mind, but what matters is she was indeed symptomatic because of psychic factors as the author concludes. There was an inner disquiet because of inner fear in recalling her prior dark fate and worrying that it might indeed come again. The deep subconscious is unable to have the same mature perspective and dispassionate intellectual discrimination of the conscious self, it is more like an inner child, very reactionary and emotional, because it is linked directly to the body and the emotion generation mechanisms, as that is the only way it has to communicate with the higher levels of the mind directly, in most cases by far. Hers, as we pointed out, was an exception in getting a conscious awareness of the past life origin of frequent concern that became disruptive in haunting her again and again. But with or without that conscious awareness, the body would cry out, and that is true for all human beings at one time or another, and some on a constant basis because they have no understanding of what is going on or a means to fix it—that requires deep divine healing to neutralize the negativity and resolve the dilemma that will remain indefinitely until healing is achieved.
