ASTROLOGY AS AN AID TO HEALING 149At the time of conception the Moon was in the
degree which ascends at birth (or its opposite); the
vital body was then placed in the mother’s womb as a
matrix into which the chemical elements forming our
dense body are built. The vital body emits a sound
similar to the buzz of a bumblebee. During life these
etheric sound waves attract and place the chemical
elements of our food so that they are formed into
organs and tissues. So long as the etheric sound waves
in our vital body are in harmony with the keynote of
the archetype, the chemical elements wherewith we
nourish our dense body are properly disposed of and
assimilated, and health prevails no matter whether we
are stout or thin, of rosy complexion or sallow, or
whatever the outward appearance. But the moment the
sound waves in the vital body vary from the archetypal
keynote, this dissonance places the chemical elements
of our food in a manner incongruous with the lines of
force in the archetype.
Then imperfect elimination of waste, accumulation
of poison in the system, and abnormal growths and
other conditions become manifest in the dense body,
and disease continues until harmony has been restored
to the vital body. When the invisible cause has been
removed, the visible effects disappear, and health is
restored. Thus we see that incipient disease manifests
in the vital body before the dense body begins to show
signs of disability, and recovery of the vital body also
precedes convalescence.
When a healthy person meets with an accident, his
vital body is unimpaired; therefore he may not feel the
full extent of the injury until several days afterwards.
If he survives the shock of the maximum dissonance
