The healing of the nervous pain in the stomach does not depend on more or less eating – often these pains come when one does not eat enough, not only when one eats too much – so it is not by eating less you can cure it.

These pains are a part of the pressure of the old nature on the body; that is why we consider it can only be healed by the Peace and Power bringing a new movement of the physical nature there. In the stage of the struggle between the two natures, the peace does not always remain, but it will remain longer and longer as you get the habit of opening constantly to it.
