The Nature of Health and Illness

And so a spiritual energy circulation takes place within us that also supplies the

organs and cells of the physical body. Starting from the nucleus of the soul, the

spirit power flows through the consciousness centers and from there, via many

ramified paths, into the different areas of the organism. Through this flowing of

the ether power, every organ and every cell can thus be supplied with cosmic

energy.

Dependence Upon the Flowing

of the Spirit Power

Now that we have this basic knowledge, the nature of health and illness also

becomes clear to us.

We are healthy when the spiritual powers can flow unobstructedly, and all parts

of the organism are sufficiently supplied with energy.

Illness arises when an organ is no longer supplied with sufficient spiritual energy.

This is then the case, when a consciousness center is dyspolarized or, as we can

say, is shadowed. We will talk later about how this happens. Just as water can

hardly flow through a blocked water pipe, in the same way sufficient spiritual

energy cannot flow to the organs, when a consciousness center is "blocked".

Thus, the cells become sluggish and ill.

Or let us imagine a car engine that gets no more fuel. It is similar in man: The

body is the vehicle; the soul is the engine and the spirit, the energy, is the fuel.
