Illness in many ways is a learned response, and it follows patterns set up in the system having to do with memory banks, though we shall find a better word here.

Habitual illness will follow the lines of learned response and memory. Definite molecular substructures are formed biologically in response to inner electrical charges. The inner electrical charges are not a part of the physical system as such, you see. But they act within the physical structure, forming then definite changes in the RNA patterns.

We will have much to say along these lines, and a discussion of illness and memory will be shortly given.

Once physical symptoms actually appear within this system however, they are to some extent accepted as any other established pattern, at least by a portion of the personality. In some cases physical symptoms can actually make up a somewhat independent supersonality structure. This is the case with many chronically-ill individuals. The destructive tendencies are collected about a particularly emotionally-charged group of reactions, and cut off from the dominant personality.
