Explanation of Chart No. 2

wishes to treat the patient and not merely the shell. Life is the actor. The form is dead the moment life departs. Then what do we treat?

Structural correction must be based upon living energy fields and parts of the body, to link them to life itself and to the being of man who lives in this house of clay called the body.

When the life principle of man is uncomfortable in this house, it means that his energy is not able to pass out over his own fields and parts to operate and nourish them. Something much finer than mere mechanics or gross chemistry has gone wrong.

But where is the physician or the "Daniel" who can interpret this handwriting on the walls of the tissues of the body?^[1] Where and why! is the patient's cry. And who shall answer the finer demands of life and its energies by gross measures only?

Is there no common denominator or universal solvent between the fine and the gross action and remedies? Yes, it is THE POLARITY PRINCIPLE which operates in things, fine and gross everywhere. All are within its bounty, but know it not. It is there and always was, but it has been lost to man's understanding. The outer attractions have lured man's consciousness completely away from an understanding of his own inner life and finer interests.

Having presented a very brief picture of Life's Pattern Energy operating within the nervous system, and bypassing a similar story in the Life Energy of the blood as the inner warmth and fire of life itself, plus the vital Energy of the Water Principle in the pelvis, as they are fully explained in book III, we shall continue with the explanation of this chart.

No one would believe that so much could be seen in one perfect figure of relationship of fields and lines of force in one body. The old Japanese proverb

A line for the ocean,
A curve for the shore,
The will to refrain
And the skill to do more.

applies here, so our treatise will not be too long.

The symbolic picture of a kite or a poor semblance of a gyroscope depicted on this chart, joins two triangles into a diamond-shaped figure. The upper, broader and shorter triangle represents the occipital bone and the brain centers which it covers in their automatic, gyroscopic, self-balancing and preserving action. It is the positive pole of this triangle.

The lower, longer triangle, with its base upward, joining the upper triangle, represents the sacrum, its preservative generative energy locked in the cerebrospinal fluid within the meninges, in the expanded upper portion of the sacrum.

The vertical and the horizontal lines on this chart are the major indicators of this important relationship of these two bones in their action and reaction. It is a clear geometric presentation of which much could be said. "As above, so below" expresses it briefly.

¹ Daniel 5:1-31. The phrase "writing on the wall" refers to interpreting mysterious signals to gain insight into deeper reality. In the Biblical story, God miraculously caused strange writing to appear on a wall during the king's great banquet, and Daniel correctly deciphered the phrase to mean that the Babylonian empire would soon be terminated by a Persian invasion.
