Lest We Forget - Wireless Anatomy Commentary
No one need be told that nerve messages travel over the nerves very rapidly. The rate at which messages pass into the central nervous system, e.g., the rate over sensory nerves, is greater than that at which messages pass out over motor nerves. The former travel inward about 140 [one-hundred forty] feet per second, while the latter travel outward at a rate of about 110 [one-hundred ten] feet per second.
But what is the impulse which travels over nerves? There is a chemical, mechanical, and electrical theory of nerve impulses. The nerve impulse differs from electricity in several important respects. It travels too slowly, 100 [one-hundred] feet per second being too slow for electricity. If a string is tied tightly around a nerve it will stop the passage of the nerve impulse, but such treatment of an electric wire will not stop an electric current over it. If a nerve is cut and the ends put together ever so carefully, still no impulse will pass over the break. Cutting electric wires in no way impairs them; even though the ends be put together carelessly the current will pass along perfectly, if only there is good contact. Lastly, the nerve fibre [fiber] is a poor conductor of electricity.
If an electric shock is sent into a nerve, an impulse is excited and travels to the nerve ending; if the nerve is pinched or cut, an impulse starts from the point of injury. If a hot body touches the nerve, or certain chemicals are dropped upon it, they will also give rise to a nerve impulse. In some nerves an impulse is started by light, in others by sound.
In the human body the wireless and wire energy are both the same vibratory impulse of the soul being broadcast from one central station and stepped down and adapted in the local centers of the body. Each tattwa [tattva] or field modifies and transforms this energy into its own whirl and specific purpose, positive and negative. In the human body the sensory organs are in the front; motor function is mostly in the back or centrally located. Consciousness resides in the light center between the two eyes. It remains there, but it sends its dispersed energy as waves all over the body, crossing, polarizing and depolarizing in a maze of energy waves of light and color. These become localized in each nerve center of an area for specific function below the eyes to support and sustain the body as sensory and motor function. Only the brain has four of its polarized senses near it, in the head as the positive pole. The speed of the wireless perceptions also vary according to function and the etheric energy field which is used as its media, such as the luminiferous ether, the odoriferous, etc.
When mind currents are reduced in vibratory intensity, they also fall into the category of electro-magnetic [electromagnetic] waves and functions. It is this step-down and the various polarities of currents and functions which makes living conductors of nerve tissue differ from the characteristics of inanimate wires, and its artificially created powerful current. Because of the difference of origin, pressure, speed, purpose and function, sensory conductors behave differently from wires for safety measures alone. Sensory impulses are immediately cut off when a string is tied around a soft living tissue, or when the nerve is cut, or injured. The velocity and amperage of the electric current and the structure of its conductors are so totally different. Conductive capacity also varies, as well as purpose, use and sensation.
Chemistry has as its basis electro-magnetic [electromagnetic] attraction and repulsion. It acts thru [through] these waves on the energy fields of the body. Thru [Through] selection the finer particles are absorbed by the body. The Homeopathic principle of similars[1] is a wise use of the spirit of the drug in the form of a fine etheric energy. Finer energies are more subtle in their action. Muscles move all tissues in function. These can be subtle or gross. It leaves a big field open to be utilized as therapy.
