Viruses as part
of the body’s overall health system, and viruses as biological statements.
Viruses serve
many purposes, as I have said before.
The body contains all kinds of viruses, including those considered
deadly, but those are usually not only harmless, or inactive, but beneficial to
the body’s overall balance.
The body
maintains its vitality not only through the physical motions and agility that
you perceive, but by microscopic agility, and actions within microseconds, that
you do not perceive. There is as much
motion, stimulation, and reaction in the interior bodily environment as the
body meets through its encounters with the exterior environment. The body must now and then “flush its systems
out”, run through its repertoire, raise its temperature, activate its hormonal
actions more strongly. In such ways it
keeps its system of immunities clear.
That system operates always. To
some extent, it is a way that the body distinguishes between self and nonself.
In certain
fashions, that system also keeps the body from squandering its energies,
preserving biological integrity.
Otherwise it would be as if you did not know where your own house began
or ended, and so tried to heat the entire neighborhood. So, some indispositions “caused by viruses”
are accepted by the body as welcome triggers, to clean out that system, and
this applies to your present indispositions.
More is always
involved, however, for those viruses that you consider communicable do indeed
in one way or another represent communications on a biological level. They are biological statements, literally
social communications, biologically made, and they can be of many kinds.
When a skunk is
frightened, it throws off a foul odor indeed, and when people are frightened
they react in somewhat the same fashion at times, biologically reacting to
stimuli in the environment that they consider alarming. They throw off a barrage of “foul viruses” –
that is, they actually collect and mobilize from within their own bodies
viruses that are potentially harmful, biologically trigger these, or activate
them, and send them out into the environment in self-protection, to ward off
the enemy.
In a fashion,
this is a kind of biological aggression.
The viruses, however, also represent tensions that the person involved
is getting rid of. That is one kind of
statement. It is often used in a very
strong manner in times of war, or great social upheaval, when people feel frightened.
Now, your friend
had been to the Olympics (at Lake Placid,
New York), and he was charged by the great physical vitality that he felt
watching that athletic panorama.
[Because of that, and for other personal reasons], he could find no
release for the intense energy he felt, so he got rid of it, protected himself,
and threw out his threatening biological posture: the viruses.
Your bodies had
not received any such goodies in some time, so they exuberantly used them as
triggers to regenerate the immune systems.
Many people had
such reactions as your friend’s, coming from the Olympics, in that they did not
know how to use and release their own energies – as if they themselves felt put
in an inferior position in comparison to such achievements.
There are all
kinds of biological reactions between bodies that go unnoticed, and they are
all basically of a social nature, dealing with biological communications. In a fashion, viruses again, are a way
of dealing with or controlling the environment.
These are natural interactions, and since you live in a world where,
overall, people are healthy enough to contribute through labor, energy, and
ideas, health is the dominating ingredient – but there are biological
interactions between all physical bodies that are the basis for that health,
and the mechanisms include the interactions of viruses, and even the periods of
indisposition, that are not understood.
All of this has
to do with man’s intent and his understanding.
The same relationships, however, do not only exist between human
bodies, of course, but between man and the animals and the plants in the
environment, and is part of the unending biological communication that overall
produces the vitality of physical experience.
One note to
Ruburt on vitamins: They are most effectively used for periods of two or three
weeks, where they act as stimuli and reminders to the body. Then drop their use for two or three weeks,
so that the body then produces by itself those elements you have reminded it
you want. Any steady use of vitamins is
not to your overall benefit, for you give the body what it needs too easily,
and its ability to produce such material on its own becomes sluggish.
Certain
“diseases” are protections against other diseases, and the body on its own is
its own excellent regulator.
Obviously, those
abilities operate best when you trust them.
The body’s systems know what diseases are in the air, so to speak, and
will often set up countermeasures ahead of time, giving you what you experience
as an indisposition of one kind or another – but an indisposition that is
actually a statement of prevention against another condition.
There is great
traffic flow in a city: A body knows how to leap out of the way in a moment’s
time from an approaching car. In the
interior physical environment there is far greater traffic flow. There are decisions made in periods of time
so brief you cannot imagine them – reactions that are almost over before they
begin, reactions so fast you cannot perceive them as the body responds to its inner
reality, and to all the stimuli from the exterior environment. The body is an open system. As solid as it seems to you, there are
constant chemical reactions between it and the world, electromagnetic
adjustments, alterations of balance, changes of relationships – alterations
that occur between the body and its relationship with every other physical
event, from the position of the planets and moon and the sun, to the position
of the smallest grain of sand, to the tiniest microbe in anyone’s intestine.
All of those
adjustments are made without your conscious notice, and yet fit in with your
overall purposes and intents.
