Thus far in this book, we have barely begun to touch upon the multitudinous issues involved in good health or in its absence. Before we are finished we hope to give you a far greater framework in which to consider your own well-being and the many options that are open to any individual. We will discuss the aspects connected with a long, healthy, fairly happy lifetime, and those involved with early death, severe illnesses, and suicide — particularly with the suicides of fairly young persons.

Earlier we spoke about the incredible impulse on the part of all of nature toward exuberance and well-being. It is as if nature always tries to exceed itself, and certainly to increase the quality of its existence. The individual person is also involved in an ever-continuing process to increase the quality of life as it exists at all levels of personal experience. Reality is so constructed that each individual seeking such fulfillment does so not at the expense of others, but in such a way that the quality of life is increased for all.

(Long pause at 4:22.) Each person impulsively tries to grow into his or her sensed potentials — even when they are not immediately apparent.

Your ideas about foreign countries, allies and enemies, also have a vital role to play in how you handle your own bodily defenses. People who are afraid that their nation will be invaded by an enemy will often also consider viruses or diseases to be enemies, ever about to threaten their personal survival. Such attitudes will, of course, be detrimental to feelings of well-being, health, and exuberance. While it is true that medical technology has many serious defects, it is also true that many people believe in the medical profession to such a degree that it would be nearly impossible for them to survive in good health without it.
