“... premature infants who were massaged for 15 minutes, three times a day, gained
weight 47 percent faster than others who were left alone in their incubators - the
usual practice.... The massaged infants did not eat more than the others,” said
doctor Field. “Their weight gain seems due to the effect of contact on their
metabolism.”^61As-Sakkinah vs. Misogyny
When trust is established through touch all is well. However, the lack of trust
carries over to all realms of human relations and not only expresses itself in
sexual inhibition or deviation, but also in the withholding of truth, such that
families breeding liars and mistrust maintain pretentious attitudes of

Under an absolute Machiavellian monarchy, the 'Rest of God' in As-Sakkinah
is opposed so that form and function are disturbed and guided towards chaos
or involution, both physically and metaphysically. Testicular Feminization
for example, shows a perfect example of end-organ resistance to the
autonomous word of Al’Mussawwir. Some form of stress affected the primal
mother who birthed this genetic disorder during the first weeks of gestation
and the insult led to a life-long inheritable end-result (1:50,000 births).

Trust is therefore King of human emotional and physical well-being as well as
