Hidden Nature

Fig. 6.2. Three basic forms of motion.

When combined into one, these make up the

dynamic, creative, formative spiral-vortical

movement.^5

As Callum Coats recounts:

There are many examples in ordinary language which recall

this spiral movement. When we ex-(s)pire, we leave this our

'mortal coil.' When we are in-spire-d, we feel drawn to higher

ideals. Our spir(e)it is raised when we are sucked into the

upward spiral. Similarly through re-spir(e)-ation the ioniza-

tion balance of the body, which varies according to the time of

day, is adjusted by the proportional ionization of the air

indrawn through the nostrils, which due to opposite directions

of rotation, is negatively ionized by the left nostril and posi-

tively by the right nostril. Sneezing, therefore, may perhaps be

a compensating process, through which high opposing charges

resulting from over-ionization are reduced to zero.
