The article dealt with how some people believe that molecules can imprint themselves on each other and the other molecule will act like the first. The also went further and discussed how if everything works like they think it does and they can decifer (sp) the electro-magnetic code for various molecules of medicine then they can just send the code to the part of the body that needs it without the medicine affecting other parts of the body. What sparked me on this is healing energies and such could be basic electro-magnetic codes are bodies can intuitually send out to others and ourselves. I do suggest you read the article yourself to get a better feel of it. * SLMR 2.1a * Hell(n): Backing up a 600 meg drive to 360k floppies. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: David Hartis Area: Thelema To: Gerald Del Campo 30 May 92 06:08:06 Subject: Re: Political Correctness GDC>In a message dated 21 May 92 20:00:50, Hagios Xao wrote: GDC> HX> Greetings, fellow EarthMan...

"...in order that what serves one by harming another be a crime, one should first have to demonstrate that the injured person is more important, more precious to *Nature* [italics added] than the person who performs the injury and serves her [Nature]; now, all individuals being of uniform importance in her eyes, 'tis impossible that she have a predilection for some one among them; hence, the deed that serves one person by causing suffering to another is of perfect indifference to Nature."
