Chart No. 13

[See Book 3, Chart 13]

PLACED UPON THE ATLAS [C1] AND THE RIGHT ANGLE OF A CORRECTIVE FORCE, FOR REPOSITIONING IT:

Here a sensory impulse is checked against a motor impulse for response. It has merit and possibility as a specific procedure. It has to be done most carefully and has many exceptions and deviations. The doctor's undivided attention and the specific sense of touch are essential. All specifics have a limited field of application. Polarity reflexes are involved in all these tests and corrections; but POLARITY IS A UNIVERSAL FACTOR. This is further proven by the reactions obtained by the sensitive touch system for measuring the leg response. When the patient under test wears articles of aluminum or certain nylons, rayons, etc., the test is not successful. Again, Polarity forces in other fields in Nature show their effects on the human body in the fine energy field of wireless anatomy and physiological response. Energies in Nature, like human beings, group themselves by attraction and repulsion.

Fig. 6 has the appearance of a gyroscope with a wider and shorter triangle above, made up of the occipital bone. While the outer appearance is more like the shape of a diamond, it is the automatic faculties located beneath, that have a gyroscopic balancing effect on the entire body. The apex is up and the base is downward. The apex is the positive pole because the vital autonomic centers of the mind and posterior portions of the brain are lodged here as is shown in figure 2 of this chart. The impulses above are expressed as motion through the spinal cord. The cerebrospinal fluid has a considerable deposit in the enlarged portion of the sacrum, as shown in chart No. 11, figure 4 of book II. This electro-magnetic [electromagnetic] energy tension field forms the negative pole to the brain. The pattern impulses of the vital force stationed here are the principal driving impulses throughout the individual life of man and beast. Unconscious impulses rule the life of all creation. Animals fight over these impulses and the right to exercise them. Pairs of locked horns and skulls often tell the story of such struggles. Then can we estimate what force and drive in that sacrum lies? The ancients pictured it as a coiled cobra, ready to strike, and called it "Kundalini".

The sacrum has its base up and its apex downward, as an inverted triangle. One can only imagine the force of this downward drive of latent energy when an attempt is made to raise it up to consciousness and intelligent control. As the force within is great in its automatic function, so is the position and structure of the sacrum in regard to all motor impulses in the body.

The triangle of the occiput above and the sacral triangle below form a diamond of action throughout the life of the individual. It is literally a gyroscope of all involuntary function. The horizontal level of the sacral base line and the vertical one govern the position of the occiput and the atlas vertebra, as well as the spine itself. The sacrum is the true foundation of the spinal column which really rests upon it and is conditioned by it.

Tests and corrections of the sacrum prove its key position in the whole structural economy of the body. Why it has been so totally overlooked is hard to tell. Is it because it hides modestly between two ear-shaped bones called the innominates [hips, ilium]? These have been duly mentioned and treated. But the sacrum itself as an independent bone and as the keystone between these two arches was truly forgotten in analysis and therapy everywhere. The ancients knew, but we forgot. The life within and its tension field is even more important than its modest form and position. These two triangles and lines, comprising figure 6, reveal so much and yet conceal so much of life's unknown mystery.
