COLON/BOWEL CANCER FROM A GNM PERSPECTIVE

By: Jean-Paul (JP) Damien Mathiot

Deep in the winding halls of the large intestine, the final guardian of the body’s great digestive journey, lies a realm devoted to one sacred task:

to break down what remains,to extract what still nourishes,and to release what no longer serves.

But when life delivers a morsel too bitter to swallow, when an injustice becomes too sharp to digest, when anger lodges itself like a stone in the gut, the ancient biological programs awaken.

Not out of malice.Not out of error.But out of survival.

 The conflict: The Indigestible Anger That one cannot come to terms with.

In GNM’s symbolic language, colon conflicts arise when life hands us something we cannot come to terms with:

-       a fight over money,

-       a betrayal over property,

-       a dispute over inheritance,

-       a job or opportunity stolen out from under us,

-       or a vital “morsel” of life we grasped for… and never received.

-       I have worked with a mum (she was a Software Engineer, and the bread winner of the family, who got made redundant).  

This is not ordinary frustration. This is indigestible anger, a survival-level affront.

And the body responds with urgency.

The deeper down the colon the tension forms, the closer we once were to letting it go, until something sudden…unexpected…slammed the gates shut, and the conflict became trapped within.

The conflict active phase: The Cauliflower

In the active phase, a mighty process begins:

a cauliflower-like mass rises, a secretory engine working 60× harder than normal, attempting to dissolve the “morsel” no psyche could stomach.

Here the body over-performs: more cells, more secretions, more effort to break down the intangible.

This is the phase associated with what GNM calls:

-       colon cancer,

-       bowel cancer.

It grows only as long as the conflict is active. It halts the instant the psyche releases the morsel.

The Healing Phase: Breakdown, Release, Restoration

One day, whether through acceptance, change, forgiveness, or collapse, the conflict dissolves.

The psyche unclenches. The body stops its battle. And the great healing begins.

Now the body must dismantle what it built.

According to GNM symbolism, this is the realm of:

-       ravenous hunger

-       intestinal cramping

-       diarrhoea

-       blood in the stool

-       or black stool when the transformation occurs higher up

Here the body turns to its ancient helpers: TB mycobacteria, the cleaners and decomposers in GNM’s mythic framework.

They break down the mass, piece by piece. Bleeding marks the clearing. Cramping marks the movement. Diarrhoea marks the release.

And at the end of this inner tempest, polyps may remain, monuments of what was overcome.

The Summary

In the GNM, the colon does not act randomly. It acts with purpose. With intent.

The body grew what it needed until the psyche could release what it couldn’t.

And once peace returned, the healing, comfortable, messy, powerful, began its sacred work.

This is not a story of disease. This is a story of conflict, survival, meaning, and resolution, a biological epic unfolding in the hidden chambers of the gut.
