Such images are constructed of emotional energy, but they also are partially formed from the chemical structure of the individual or individuals behind such productions. The physical body then must work overtime. The impetus is emotional, and the pseudoframework is formed of emotional energy, but the image itself must be built up in part of physical components, and these must come from somewhere.

Now even in the case of hallucinations, the originator uses projections from his own physical structure, which he then perceives. Though the mind, or brain rather, may be seemingly passive in the case of the perceiver, the metabolism is quickened, for the body is using energy at a quickened rate.

The emotional charge provides the pattern, and the impetus for creation, and in the York Beach affair and like situations, it provides for the actual projection or externalization itself. According to the physical validity or the extent of physical reality to be achieved, the physical body of the originator then lends, or transposes or transfers, portions of its own chemical structure. Proteins are used, and there is a high carbohydrate loss on the part of the originator.

Now. Physical illness is not a natural condition. It also necessitates additional work of this same sort, hence often the physical vitamin deficiencies that occur. In many cases they do not cause a disease, but are the result of it. In the same way that the body’s proteins and chemical structures can be used to form various kinds of images, they may also be utilized in a lesser fashion to, say, form an ulcer, a goiter, or to affect other changes.

Again, the body is overworking. Here particular emotions are dissociated, denied. The individual does not want to accept them as a portion of himself. Instead of projecting them outward, as you did into such images, they are directed to a specific area in the body; or in other cases allowed to wander, so to speak, traveling troublemakers, through the entire physical system.

The images you saw were of older, weary selves, the lines of frustration and bitterness clearly written in the features, and apparent in the bodies’ bearings.

He is in the process of freeing himself, but the assurances from you can quicken the process considerably. The working schedule will help also, for as he sees the product of his spontaneity, he knows he can trust it. The body worked overtime in quelling spontaneity, and used needed reserves to maintain the symptoms. The same reserves, you see, can be used to construct images. When images of survival personalities appear, they must also utilize such properties.
