OK, so now you know a bit about how molecular alignment determines your relative health. As we go forward, just remember that alignments of atoms and molecules are dependent on magnetism— electromagnetic interactions. Electromagnetism quite literally exerts a microscopic force of gravity on the elements around it: attractions and repulsions.

Now let's think about our psychology for a moment.

Oh, you already noticed? You have psychological attractions and repulsions? What a coincidence. Does that have anything to do with the alignment of the molecules in your body? Of course it does. So the molecular alignment of our being, of the way we are, the way we behave, what we think, how we react to things, is also determined by the molecular alignments in our being. We’re electromagnetic creatures, in the end, and the nature of our psyche is just as dependent on that fact as our digestion and the amount of iron in our blood are. The way that impressions fall into our body and we receive them, the way we process our thoughts, and how we express ourselves when we walk around and talk to each other— all arise from the forces of molecular alignment.

All of this, of course, takes place in the world of what one might call vibrations; and everyone wants to have "good vibrations." Yet the goodness of your vibrations depends on the way that molecules are aligned. It's like tuning a musical instrument: just having the instrument and having the strings on it isn't enough. It’s the exact tension on each string that determines whether or not they’re in tune: and if they’re not in tune, you can't play "healthy" – that is, harmonious — music.
