Earthquake Similar to Nervous Attacks
The globe upon which we live is made up of the five principal elements; viz., the mineral, vegetation, water, fire, and earth elements. The human body is also composed of the five principal elements. As it draws its sustenance from the earth, each human body resembles the earth in miniature.
Whenever the fire element under the earth's crust becomes too strong or accumulates in a certain space, or whenever the planets cause intense heat on the earth, which then begins to contract and expand, earthquakes are felt.
Similarly, in the human body, if the fire element (inflammation) in the blood centers in one or more of the organs or limbs, it causes nervous attacks, apoplexy, paralytic strokes, St. Vitus Dance, neuritis, rheumatism, etc. In the universities of various nations, investigations into the cause -(82)of earthquakes have been conducted for many years, and instruments have been devised and installed which are supposed to indicate when and where the quakes will occur. However, so far, not a single student has been able to predict the coming of an earthquake. The first intimation these savants have had of earthquakes has been the rocking of their homes. Physicians have similar experiences with sufferers under their care. They may be aware that the fire element in the person's blood will cause a great deal of trouble, but they are not able to tell when the stroke of paralysis or nervous attack will occur.
