Introduction

Energy, as the one basic factor of the process of life, applied to therapy, was a new idea in the practice of manipulation and correction of lesions and distortions. To consider 'WIRELESS ENERGY' the foundation of equalized current flow for health, and its unbalanced distribution as the cause of disease is a startling revelation because purely mechanical and chemical concepts are the popular theories at present.

To delve deeper into the process of life's functions, to reach the Source of consciousness and feeling, and link it with the body's own functions was also a new procedure in the manipulative art. It brings the radiant ENERGY PRINCIPLE to the foreground and links mental and emotional energy currents to physiological functions, which can be reached by polarizing the fields through skilled applications of therapy or by Nature's own forces when directed to the stagnant area or current blocks.

Giving a physical foundation for psychiatry, and its application of balancing energy currents localized as lesions of energy flow, was also a new concept. To bring the WHOLE NATURE OF MAN'S BEING into the focus of therapy and well being was quite a departure from merely adjusting bones, muscles and connective tissue by a bloodless, mechanical procedure.

To blend man and nature into one process of exchange of ENERGY CURRENTS, through the supply of solids, liquids, gases and warmth, was almost like resurrecting the doctrine of the Ancients, of man's relation to the cosmos, and the soul's relation to God, its Creator.

Of course, minds trained to material concepts only, do not function at such altitudes of penetration and comparison. But we grow into it naturally, by external pressure and bewildering circumstances plus the proof of research and actual experience. All this is laid before the students of God-like Wisdom and the followers of Aesculapius [Asclepius], the famous physician of olden times.

Because I feel convinced of this crying need of an INNER COMPENSATORY UNDERSTANDING to balance the strain in this hour of external stress and tension, of new energies and forces discovered and used mostly for destructive purposes, I have persisted in writing and re-writing this course, enlarging it to its present form. If this proves an inspiration and a solace to only a few thinking physicians who can again make this healing art a CREATIVE WORK OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY, I shall be well repaid.
