A Brief Outline of Vitality Balance

The body moves by the action of leverage through its joints. It overcomes gravity through mechanical levers and muscular action. Then what is this force in the body which acts and defies gravity? Is it not energy, from the body's own Central Sun of Energy within itself? Hence it is a reaction from within to the great without, as the Life Breath of motion which moves through all cells, like the wind through a forest.

Because of this link of unity of current flow, every joint becomes a unit or cross-over of Energy Currents so it can overcome outside currents of resistance. The same holds true for the organs of the body, as fields of sustenance and replacement.

Each joint has a relationship to every other joint in the unity of energy flow of graceful motion. The ankles, the knees, the hip joints and the shoulder joints are important factors in POLARITY ACTION as extension levers of motion, with POLARITY reactions on other centers and fields in the body. And because they are moved by a unit of energy current through them, energy circuits in the body can be reached through their corresponding area of relationship, as illustrated in my books.

Opposites correspond and express each other through reflection and the end currents of travel of the Energy Circuit. That is why the feet hold all the negative reflexes of the head, as opposite poles; and the hands reflect the umbilical neuter [neutral] pole.

It is through this leverage of the principles of POLARITY that Archimedes[1] sought to move the world. But the world has always moved through this bipolar leverage action in the finer energy fields of similars and opposites. There is nothing new in this world. It was always here. But until man discovers it and takes credit for it, he does not know it. Even though it was there all the time, it is only after man has discovered it that he is convinced of its existence. After that it becomes a classified science. Before that it was but an unknown art to a few. So the ages roll on for man's experience in this kindergarten of Life.

Man discovers himself in his own consciousness and his true relationship to the cosmos eventually, through the experience of POLARITY ACTION. By being tossed from pole to pole, he gains experience through resistance and pain, which registers as awareness which he cannot escape. And in the process of seeking an escape mechanism to avoid pain, he learns many useful things. Necessity becomes the great teacher of things material and the mother
