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.

This would imply short-term memory you see, but this is not the case, for it is intensity and not duration that makes the difference. Once the symptoms become physical however, then they follow physical patterns, and it takes the physical system some time to heal usually, (underlined). In terms of intensity alone, both the foot and the hip symptoms were highly charged, representing of course degrees of immobility and withdrawal—learned, you see, from the mother: a memory reaction adopted without conscious thought.

His personality structure is different, and he has other qualities to counteract against the obsessive tendencies inherited from his mother. The turning point has been reached and passed however in this last episode. He learned from it, and what he has learned will stand him in good stead. Because of the lesson his peaks of achievement will be higher, and his overall physical condition instantly will show improvement.
