- The Universal Physical Response
- Sneeze if sufficient plant pollen or coin.
+ Driving a car through heavy traffic has the effect of eliminating the pollen, thus providing crucial
assistance in a child's struggle with illness.
+ Sometimes the responses are very much exaggerated, and take infinitely varied forms.
+ For your reference, see Natural Habitat in the Age of the Biological Robot: The Effects of Previous
Challenges to Health (From the Perspectives of Allergens and Bacteria) by Putnam and Rhora.
+ They may even discover pollen on the common radio.
+ Fever victims, for example, arbitrarily play mind games in dealing with the charts in medical waiting
rooms and have been known to be financiers of the covert operation known only as Sweat.
+ - "...the color of the face. Every responding physician took turns influencing the emotional
compartments of each patient on an individual basis. The gasps of horror, the panting of the conditioned
crowd, the intensity of the effects roused conscious meanings from deep within even my very self,
meanings previously assigned to only my nose, stomach, or urinary tract. The significance of this to the
unconscious mind, and to war and all its tributaries, is enormous and viewed by a select few as perversely
threatening."
+ Working at a frustrating job, watching life from the inside of your body without knowing it. With some
people the stress is over-rated.
+ Stuffed noses go their own way. The family quarrel has symbolic meaning in this situation only because it
makes others resentful and often begs physical response. (Sometimes the pollen can be perceived as
being the person. However, the whole person (both body and molded mind) figures into the actual
evidentiary pollen count and consequent stress on the subject's "life.")
+ "Everyone here has recognized at least a handful of the patients. The upshot is that they'll grow up to be
real easy-going."
+ Early childhood is only the beginning of a manufactured pattern of outside stimuli sent bent on wreaking
havoc and programming brilliant minds to be clay targets for *demons in pinstripes.
