Practical Application of These Laws 357 



signed to restore the balance of the positive and 

 negative currents which in normal breathing flow 

 rhythmically and alternately, one after the other, 

 at regular periods down the right and left sides of 

 the spine; the right (positive) and left (negative) 

 lungs being correspondingly charged. The ex- 

 cess of one current, or the undue preponderance 

 of a Tattva causes border; then, if order be not 

 restored, disease. It is the inception of all disease, 

 organic as well as functional. 



The normal order of God's vast Universe is 

 based upon rhythmic harmony, and the health- 

 ful functioning of all his creatures upon this terres- 

 trial globe is a reflection upon the gross, or visible, 

 plane of activity of that perfect, harmonious 

 rhythm. Mark well that I say healthful func- 

 tioning. We all know that this normal condition 

 is the blessing enjoyed by not more than one per- 

 son in five hundred, if so many. 



The present age not only suffers from many; 

 weaknesses resulting from the ignorance and 

 wrong-doing of past generations, but has involved 

 itself deeper and deeper in materialism, separating 

 itself from the beneficent spiritual plane of its be- 

 ing, which has developed hitherto unknown dis- 

 eases encroaching upon and impairing, more and 

 more with the progress of this thing mis-called 

 civilization, the channels of vital force, the nerv- 

 ous system.
