Spiritualism sheds light on obscure points of the medical science

Spiritualism is a powerful focus of light whose rays reach the frontiers of the intellectual sphere and illuminate the whole cycle of life.

It clarifies and justifies the so-called occult sciences by rationally explaining their inferences and the whys of astral and bodily life.

Universal History, the life of civilisations, their nature, their character receive from it the most vivid light, and the enlightenment it scatters over the medical sciences sheds light over its vast territory, revealing the most hidden recesses of its domain.

In the science of Anthropology, the following parts are outstanding: Anatomy, the science of structure and configuration of the organs; Embryology, the science of formation and development of the fetus; Teratology, the science of individual abnormalities (the monsters) and of deformities of the organs; Spiritualism, which reveals, discloses and makes evident the whys of such unpleasant sometimes stupendous, often repulsive phenomena.

Spiritualism makes us see and understand how and why an emotion disturbs the functions of the digestive system which, to a certain extent, i.e., in its inner mechanism, in its physical and chemical processes, work independently from our will. The same applies to the functions of the circulatory system which also operates outside the limits of our will and whose centre, the heart, has its rhythm disturbed and may even be immobilised by a violent, abrupt emotion.

Under these conditions, the organs and systems of nutritional life receive only indirectly the influx of the cerebro-spinal nervous system restricted to relational life. 

In order to explain the disturbance of digestive and circulatory functions by moral trauma, one feels and recognises the need for an agent other than the nerves, capable of making evident the effects of an indirect, remote action. Although intangible, this action is so forceful, so terrible that it can strike like lightning.

This other agent is the perispirit, the animistic body, through which the spirit connects with its body, and con-substantiates itself, organ by organ, molecule by molecule. The spirit attends to and presides over the organisation, constitution and formation of its physical body, like a mason mixes the clay, prepares the mortar and shapes the material with which he erects a wall and a building.

Under the impact of a violent commotion, the spirit feels disturbed, filled with emotion, distressed. The perispirit then contracts according to the intensity of the shock. This reduces its influx over the material molecules, over the organic cells, over the organ which for the same reason, loses its warmth, its energy, its activity and even life.

Thus, it will be easily understood how an abrupt and violent emotion can not only disturb functions which are not controlled  by the nerves of relational life, but can even kill a person.

This shows how Spiritualism sheds light on obscure points of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathogenis and Embryology, so far not investigated and impossible to understand without such a light.

The reader can see, therefore, how the light of spiritualistic studies penetrates the deepest recesses of positive science, such as Anthropology, leading the way to the discovery of rational solutions to the sophisticated problems of pathological and embryogenic pathology.
