Explanation of Chart No. 8

emanating from the heart pattern of feeling which radiates all over like the penetrating air, through its pattern in the blood type. Pure air casts no shadows but clouds and frost can leave a lot of emotional energy blocks behind as records of impressions on our own personal air of ego emanations through a set of feelings of our own creation. This is the functioning field of our touch contacts with the world outside, such as skill through the hands and motion through all the body members.

The impressions gained are recorded in the neck as the etheric plane of sound waves on their way to the head as the mind plane of consciousness in conjunction with soul function.

Note of relationships with the head placed in this field: The top of the head is the top of the trunk. The lower jaw is about the diaphragm region and corresponds to the terminal end of both. The nose is the neuter [neutral] center pole of the sternum. The eyes resemble the lungs, by location and function of constant expansion and contraction. The left ear is near the heart location, with its sound of 'lubb dubb'. The region of the teeth expresses the diaphragm and its rise and fall in respiration, as shown by chest motion.

3. The abdominal region and its relation to the head shows the top of the head corresponding to the diaphragm, and the jaw to the pelvic level of the peritoneum. The right eye is in the liver region and the left eye in the stomach and spleen area. The kidney area is under the eyes, with the head in this location. The nose inlet corresponds to the umbilicus in its neutral region. The teeth correspond to the general area of digestion and assimilation, like eating and swallowing.

All of these polarity similarities in function have their correspondence in the Vital Energy Current which enlivens them equally. The effect of liver and digestive disturbances on the eyes is well known as spots before the eyes, the yellow color of bile in the eyes in cases of jaundice, etc. The digestive functions are also indicated on the tongue as coating, ridges, cracks in the tongue and the regional inflammations, like the fiery red tip of the tongue in typhoid fever, etc.

This is the reason for all these established symptomatic responses through the unity of action of the VITAL CURRENT FLOW. How else can we account for it in illness? Nerves have their own specific functions. The four regions of the sense of taste on the tongue are also an intestinal polar response.^[1]

¹ In 1901, the idea of a "tongue map" for flavor detection was popularized by D.P. Hanig, a German scientist. In 1974 Virginia Collings, a scientist at Columbia University, debunked this idea, showing by brain activity tracking that all tastebuds can taste all five flavor categories (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory).
