and still lesser, until the mind of the single cell is reached. The entire mental
organism of the cells is something quite wonderful, and startling.
The control of these cell-communities is one of the duties of the Instinctive
Mind, and it usually does its work very well, unless interfered with by the
Intellect, which sometimes sends it fearthoughts and demoralizes it. The
Intellect insists upon interfering with the established order of the body, and
by introducing strange customs and habits, tends to demoralize the cellcommunities
and to bring disorder into their ranks.
Sometimes something akin to rebellion springs up among these cellcommunities
or groups, and they revolt at working overtime, or from similar
reasons. In this connection we take the liberty of quoting from our book
entitled “Hatha Yoga,” which gives a clear idea of these cell rebellions. The
book says: “At times it seems that some of the smaller groups (and even
some of the larger on certain occasions) go ‘on a strike,’ rebelling against
unaccustomed and improper work forced upon them—working overtime—
and similar causes, such as a lack of proper nourishment. These little cells
often act just as would men under the same circumstances—the analogy is
often startling to the observer and investigator. These rebellions or strikes
seem to spread, if matters are not arranged, and even when matters are
patched up, the cells seem to return to their work in a sullen manner, and,
instead of doing their work the best they know how, they will do as little
as possible, and only just when they feel like it. A restoration of normal
conditions, resulting from improved nutrition, proper attention, etc., will
gradually bring about a return to normal functioning, and matters may be
very much expedited by orders from the Will, directed immediately to the
cell-groups. It is astonishing how soon order and discipline may be restored
in this way.”
Science has shown us the truth of the old Yogi teachings that all disease
was cell-disease, and it follows that if we can manage to get control of the
cell-trouble, we have mastered the entire problem. This control may be
