1 - The Direct Approach to Healing: The Life Energy

"It is only the Energy in Matter that makes matter seem alive. When this energy escapes, only the shell is left. ... A cure constitutes reaching the life current within and reestablishing the free flow of its energy."

When we are ill and have pains, we think that it is the body which hurts and is sick, when in reality it is the life-breaths or Prana Currents^* in the body (which operate it and sustain it) which are out of balance and coordination in their polarity function of attraction and repulsion. This negative and positive action throughout the system is the factor which makes each cell contract and expand in its processes of life: to take in nourishment - of solids, liquids, gases, and warmth, or energy - use it and discard the waste products and gases, and radiate the heat (or caloric) energy for use and distribution.

This seems a new idea or concept, because we approach and explain it from the modern base of energy radiation, conduction and absorption, like electronic engineers would in their atomic research. This energy approach is prior to chemistry and mechanics. Energy in its threefold action of positive (+), negative (-), and neuter [neutral] (0) polarity is prior to chemistry, which deals with particles of matter and their chemical affinity - or antipathy - which can result in new combinations or in an explosion of gases.

* Prana currents: In the Hindu tradition, Prana is a type of stored or radiant energy considered to be the life essence in all living forms.
