The drugs also insure that consciousness will not come back to the physical brain too quickly, to shock the system. There are methods by which the relative behavior and condition of the travelling consciousness is monitored at the other end.

Now. There are groups of symptoms which are given names. The names help physicians to categorize and treat, but the names are also dangerous when they are used as labels.

The body is always in a state of changing. By labeling a group of symptoms you add to their idea of permanence, and give a name to certain aspects of bodily activity, distinguishing them from other activities and therefore giving them rather dangerous focus. They are seen as apart from other bodily activities and gain prominence.

If however his treatment involves drugs, these may further upset the inner processes, causing further imbalances. These imbalances may be labeled with a name also. Ruburt’s symptoms would therefore be called arthritic, since they fit into that category, so named. To concentrate upon the term however is dangerous, for it gives a specific identity or implies a state of permanence to a group of varying and impermanent symptoms.
