Chart No. 3
[See Book 3, Chart 3]
closer to causes by the comprehension of the vital principle which animates man. Therapeutic selection and application becomes much easier and less puzzling. To illustrate this point, the hand is used to connect these deeper centers with the surface, in their natural relationship of expression and reflexes. In manipulative therapy, the hands fit naturally on any part of the body when the contact is correct.
The hands are the neuter [neutral] poles of the human body. That is why they are so pliable, dexterous, demonstrable for art and expressive for the mind to use in all functions of mental and emotional expression as skill in drawing, sculpture, etc., in manipulation and as mechanical ability to build things. Their relationship to the main centers of the entire body is clearly illustrated in the chart. The thumbs reflexly [reflexively] express the head, in a horizontal representation; the right thumb reacts to the right half of the head and the left one to the left half of the head. Any reflex pain or distortion of energy waves here has a head reflex, and can be treated by contacts to both the head and the thumb - the positive and neuter [neutral] poles - as a polarity factor for balancing currents.
FINGER NAILS AND TOE NAILS: The finger nails become important factors as reliable indicators of acute conditions while in chronic conditions the evidence can be observed in the toe nails which are in the negative pole of the feet. Deep ridges or bulgings [bulges] in the thumb nail often indicate a dormant ear condition coming into active expression on that particular side, depending on whether it is the right or the left thumb. This is especially so if the nail of the big toe on that side has been split for some time. The toes are the negative poles of these indicators and signs may be present for a long time there before the finger nails show evidence of trouble. When that happens, the condition is becoming active, from a dormant state. A split finger nail indicates a serious acute condition in the area of the body represented by that particular finger.
Dryness, brittleness, split nails, nails receding from the flesh - all have a definite meaning and are of real diagnostic value when they can be positively linked to one particular body area and function. The condition can thus be located and something done about it. This simple method is specific and does not reveal too much to do at once and so does not confuse the issue, which is generally the case in diagnosis through the iris of the eye[1], the positive pole of polarity reflexes.
The bones and the joints of the fingers and toes often give a hint in diagnosis, where everything else is obscure and indefinite and the patient merely exists and suffers. This is Nature's own finger of diagnosis and indication, and not mere theory. It reveals the disrupted relationship of the extremities on the surface with the centers of energy within, in the particular region specified by the finger or the toe. IT IS THE REAL ALCHEMICAL ASTROLOGY OF ENERGIES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP OF SOURCE, AND THE CAPACITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO DRAW ON THEM FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF LIFE. NAMES OF THE PLANETS ARE USED AS CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CURRENTS BETWEEN THE STOREHOUSE AND THE INDIVIDUAL. Blockage of this circuit is the precise nature of the disease in the vital economy of man's essence and the essence of the universe in which he exists, like a child in the mother's womb. It has been truly said "Closer is he (essence of life) than breathing; nearer than hands and feet.[2]
By study and observation any doctor can verify the same and make his work interesting, more natural and successful through finding and correcting causes of energy blocks. DIAGNOSIS IS A REAL FACTOR IN EVERY TYPE OF THERAPY. Many a time the good doctor could do much more for the patient if he knew where the real trouble was and had the key to its POLARITY
