About the book: 1930 / This book, which is not at all medical, but rather religious and philosophical, was written by a priest of the Liberal Catholic Church of New Zealand Rev. Geoffrey Hodson (1886-1983). He uses the word “disease” to designate illness, or ill health, in general, as a defect in the functioning of the “human system” as a whole, which includes not only physical, but also subtle-material components. According to the author, in his research he resorted to the use of “direct intuitive perception,” which, in his opinion, is the third form of obtaining knowledge.
