(9:01.) In certain fashions (underlined), that system also keeps the body from squandering its energies, preserving biological integrity. Otherwise it would be as if you did not know where your own house began or ended, and so tried to heat the entire neighborhood. So some indispositions “caused by viruses” are accepted by the body as welcome triggers, to clean out that system, and this applies to your present indispositions.

Obviously those abilities operate best when you trust them. The body’s systems know what diseases are in the air, so to speak, and will often set up countermeasures ahead of time, giving you what you experience as an indisposition of one kind or another—but an indisposition that is actually a statement of prevention against another condition.

[...] His past indispositions, from an overall viewpoint, have been most necessary and beneficial. [...] His indispositions taught him this is a way that he will not forget. [...]

[...] On the other hand neither should you blame yourselves for various small and separated indispositions.

[...] The individual may realize that his or her pace has been too fast, and so natural feelings bring about a lethargy of body, or a slight fever, or an indisposition—all quite natural, resilient activities.

When such beliefs are shared by an entire society, then the slightest indisposition is instantly suspect.

[...] The proper mental attitude could have prevented the indisposition. On the other hand, better solutions not having been used, the indisposition served a purpose and a desired end was gained.

[...] I was not aware of Ruburt’s approaching indisposition at our last session, although I knew his overall condition was not of the best.

[...] She had very little to drink—two small glasses of wine, and felt recovered from her indisposition of the afternoon.

[...] In this large group of sessions, Seth addressed himself to several of our individual problems: Rob’s occasional bouts of indisposition when he felt ‘under the weather’ generally, or was bothered by a variety of minor but annoying symptoms; and my own long-standing troubles with severe stiffness.
