Polarity Principles in Action

The soul has its special seat in the brain, above the foramen of Monro [interventricular foramen] and the middle commissure [interthalamic adhesion, massa intermedia, gray commissure], but it traverses the whole cerebro-spinal [cerebrospinal] axis - up and down - as a very fine Sound Current - in the central canal of the spinal cord. A stepped-down phase of this current which is related to the respiratory function and the manifestation of life in the body, is called the Kundalini force in eastern terminology. It flows in the very center of the spinal cord. Its negative and structural pole of impulses is in the sacrum as a potential motor force, and in the generative system as a potential seed power and sensory energy field of creativeness. In the Bible, the terminal end of travel of this functioning force is called "the foundation of the deep".

The involutionary cycle of mind energy is completed through the embodiment of its total pattern energy current in the seed of each living thing. This stepped-down, descending, airy life force is referred to as the serpent in Paradise, which is the field of etheric essence. The "tree of life" symbolizes the spinal cord. The sensory currents, with their double chain of ganglions of the sympathetic nervous system are represented by the Caduceus, in their finer aspect of this dual serpentine force. Truly, the body is the house of the soul, the Temple of God!

The origin of the four polarized principles or rivers of life flowing out of the one river from Paradise is clearly given in Book I.[1] The four rivers are currents of energy in the constitution of the cosmos and in man, through which we continue to attract substance from the without as we did during the period of gestation in the embryonic stages while living on the mother's life blood and supply currents. When the umbilical cord is cut, the babe [baby] is ushered into the outer world of the cosmos to draw its breath directly from Mother Nature, on whose bosom we live and crawl like infants, eating and drinking from Nature's storehouse of solids, liquids, air and sunshine, plus all the finer currents in these elements of Nature.

Every plant is a living soul, in a more limited form, and has an evolution. This fact was a real science of cosmogony in old Sacred Scriptures, relating the unit to the whole. I had many hand-drawn charts made in my efforts to clearly illustrate this function and the picture of Polarity in its five fields in the human body in order to demonstrate the direct application of POLARITY TECHNIQUE. Polarity currents and principles were constantly kept in mind in designing the illustrations.

The foundation, as illustrated in the charts and books containing them, is so simple and is brought forward step by step and stage by stage. If a student once grasps the idea, the whole picture of life can unfold in its many varied principles and usefulness of application in therapy and in life in general. All that is necessary in order to comprehend this is to study and think over it from the simple fundamental basis of five fields of matter as well as the five sensory and five motor currents going over these fields in three modes of motion: Positive, Negative and Neuter [neutral]. Once this simple idea is mastered, a whole new concept is possible.

It seems so strange that this should be hard to assimilate as a fact. We constantly function through five senses and think nothing of it. Their sensory action we can name, but we are at a loss to enumerate their corresponding five motor actions which fulfill and express the sensory fields of perception. The life functions by which we exist are given very little time and study. We never think about these real facts of life until they strike us in the face or fell us by illness. Life is not understood and laws are transgressed, causing suffering by their reactions.
