In its essence, any art that relies on words makes use of their ability to eat away—of their corrosive function—just as etching depends on the corrosive power of nitric acid. Yet the simile is not accurate enough; for the copper and the nitric acid used in etching are on a par with each other, both being extracted from nature, while the relation of words to reality is not that of the acid to the plate. Words are a medium that reduces reality to abstraction for transmission to our reason, and in their power to corrode reality inevitably lurks the danger that the words themselves will be corroded too. It might be more appropriate, in fact, to liken their action to that of excess stomach fluids that digest and gradually eat away the stomach itself.

The main problem facing a parasite over the long term, Burnet noted, is the issue of transmission: how to spread its offspring from one individual host to another. Various methods and traits have developed toward that simple end, ranging from massive replication, airborne dispersal, environmentally resistant life-history stages (like the small form of C. burnetii), direct transfer in blood and other bodily fluids, behavioral influence on the host (as exerted by the rabies virus, for instance, causing infected animals to bite), passage through intermediate or amplifier hosts, and the use of insect and arachnid vectors as means of transportation and injection.

De même que dans le cadre du schéma trifonctionnel chrétien, l’ordre brahmanique exprime à sa façon un idéal d’équilibre entre différentes formes de légitimité à gouverner. Dans les deux cas, il s’agit au fond de faire en sorte que la force brute des rois et des guerriers ne néglige pas les sages conseils des clercs et des lettrés, et que le pouvoir politique s’appuie sur les connaissances et le pouvoir intellectuel. Il est intéressant de rappeler que Gandhi, qui reprochait aux Britanniques d’avoir rigidifié les frontières entre castes autrefois fluides, afin de mieux diviser et dominer l’Inde, avait dans le même temps une attitude relativement respectueuse et conservatrice face à l’idéal brahmanique. Certes Gandhi militait pour que la société hindoue devienne moins inégalitaire et plus inclusive vis-à-vis de ses classes les plus basses, en particulier vis-à-vis des shudra et des « intouchables », qui rassemblaient des catégories discriminées plus basses encore que les shudra au sein de l’ordre hindou, placées en marge de la société, parfois du fait d’occupations jugées impropres, liées notamment à l’abattage des animaux et au travail des peaux. Mais Gandhi insistait dans le même temps sur le rôle essentiel joué par les brahmanes, ou tout du moins par ceux qui se comportaient comme tels à ses yeux, c’est-à-dire sans arrogance et sans âpreté, mais au contraire avec bienveillance et grandeur d’âme, en mettant leur sagesse et leurs connaissances de lettrés au service de la société dans son ensemble. Lui-même rattaché au groupe deux-fois-né des vaishya, Gandhi prit dans de nombreux discours publics, en particulier à Tanjore en 1927, la défense de la logique de complémentarité fonctionnelle qui était selon lui à la base de la société hindoue traditionnelle. En reconnaissant le principe de l’hérédité dans la transmission des talents et des occupations, non pas comme règle absolue et rigide mais comme un principe général pouvant admettre des exceptions individuelles, le régime des castes permettait selon lui de donner une place à chacun, et d’éviter la compétition généralisée entre groupes sociaux, la guerre de tous contre tous, et en particulier la guerre des classes à l’occidentale . Surtout, Gandhi se méfiait plus que tout de la dimension anti-intellectuelle des discours antibrahmaniques. Il considérait que la sobriété et la sagesse des lettrés, vertus auxquelles il se rattachait par sa pratique personnelle (bien que non-brahmane lui- même), étaient des qualités sociales indispensables pour l’harmonie générale. Il se méfiait aussi du matérialisme occidental et de son goût immodéré pour l’accumulation de richesses et de pouvoir.

This transmutation of the reproductive energy gives great vitality to those practicing it. They will be filled with great vital force, which will radiate from them and will manifest in what has been called "personal magnetism." The energy thus transmuted may be turned into new channels and used to great advantage. Nature has condensed one of its most powerful manifestations of prana into reproductive energy, as its purpose is to create. The greatest amount of vital force is concentrated in the smallest area. The reproductive organism is the most powerful storage battery in animal life, and its force can be drawn upward and used, as well as expended in the ordinary functions of reproduction, or wasted in riotous lust. The majority of our students know something of the theories of regeneration; and we can do little more than to state the above facts, without attempting to prove them. The Yogi exercise for transmuting reproductive energy is simple. It is coupled with rhythmic breathing, and can be easily performed. It may be practiced at any time, but is specially recommended when one feels the instinct most strongly, at which time the reproductive energy is manifesting and may be most easily transmuted for regenerative purposes. The exercise is as follows: Keep the mind fixed on the idea of Energy, and away from ordinary sexual thoughts or imaginings. If these thoughts come into the mind do not be discouraged, but regard them as manifestations of a force which you intend using for the purposes of strengthening the body and mind. Lie passively or sit erect, and fix your mind on the idea of drawing the reproductive energy upward to the Solar Plexus, where it will be transmuted and stored away as a reserve force of vital energy. Then breathe rhythmically, forming the mental image of drawing up the reproductive energy with each inhalation. With each inhalation make a command of the Will that the energy be drawn upward from the reproductive organization to the Solar Plexus. If the rhythm is fairly established and the mental image is clear, you will be conscious of the upward passage of the energy, and will feel its stimulating effect. If you desire an increase in mental force, you may draw it up to the brain instead of to the Solar Plexus, by giving the mental command and holding the mental image of the transmission to the brain. The man or woman doing metal creative work, or bodily creative work, will be able to use this creative energy in their work by following the above exercise, drawing up the energy with the inhalation and sending it forth with the exhalation. In this last form of exercise, only such portions as are needed in the work will pass into the work being done, the balance remaining stored up in the Solar Plexus. You will understand, of course, that it is not the reproductive fluids which are drawn up and used, but the etheripranic energy which animates the latter, the soul of the reproductive organism, as it were. It is usual to allow the head to bend forward easily and naturally during the transmuting exercise.

The relationship between obstetric drugs and sometimes ultimately fatal intoxication in adulthood is not accidental. Through amniotic fluid, the foetus develops a taste for the foods his mother prefers; this transmission is thought to assist the transition to nursing and, after weaning, to solids. The same transmission of preference applies to substances, meaning that a pregnant woman who drinks or uses drugs passes the preference to her foetus. Logically, this principle applies to the placental transference of obstetric drugs.

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as water poisoning. And it can be lethal. If body fluids become too diluted, then sodium concentrations in the blood drop dramatically. Sodium is an essential mineral in the body, and it plays a critical role in the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain and the muscles. Our bodies regulate the concentration of sodium in our blood by moving water in and out of the blood. If you have a high sodium concentration, then water moves from your cells into your blood, increasing your blood pressure. As water moves from your brain cells into your blood, your brain actually shrinks, and you may experience confusion and seizures. If your sodium concentration is low, then the reverse happens: water moves out of your blood and into your cells. This can be disastrous to your brain, since, as your cells absorb water, your brain swells. This, in turn, can lead to lethargy, loss of consciousness, and even death.

Un fluide insaisissable coule d'une génération à l'autre. Lorsque nous développons nos antennes et apprenons à déceler partout la trace d'autres passants, d'autres humains vivants ou morts, alors notre façon d'être au monde se dilate et s'agrandit. Je suis le témoin de la scène suivante : Un ami de longue date, Richard Baker Roshi, héritier dharma de Suzuki Roshi, et sa fille de trois ans sont installés à la table du petit déjeuner chez nous. Sophie commence avec son couteau à rayer la table. Et grâce à ce geste qui ne m'as guère enchantée, voilà que j'assiste à une leçon de transmission. Le père arrête avec douceur la petite main. "Halte, Sophie, à qui est cette table ?" Alors la petite fille boudeuse : "Je sais ! A Christiane. - Non, mais avant Christiane !... Elle est ancienne cette table, n'est-ce pas ? D'autres ont déjeuné là... - Oui, les parents, les grands-parents, les.... - ... Mais ce n'est pas tout !.... Avant encore ?... Elle a appartenu à l'ébéniste qui en avait acquis le bois. Mais d'où venait-il ce bois ?... Oui, d'un arbre qu'avait abattu le bûcheron... mais l'arbre, à qui appartenait-il ?... A la forêt qui l'a protégé... Oui... et à la terre qui l'a nourri... à l'air, à la lumière, à l'univers entier... ! ... Et puis, Sophie, elle appartient à d'autres... la table... à ceux qui ne sont pas encore nés et qui viendront après nous... ici même quand nous seront partis et quand nous serons morts." Un cercle après l'autre se forme, comme après le jet d'une pierre dans un étang. Et les yeux de Sophie aussi s'agrandissent, se dilatent. L'hommage aux origines. Ainsi commence tout processus d'humanisation. (p. 15-16
