It is said by many in South Africa that a very large number of people are living in survival mode. Meaning their nervous system is always in something like flight and fight mode.
It seems that this is also the general mode of modern living where we are always 'on the go' chasing something - sometimes the bare necessity to survive and sometimes dreams...
In such a state there is little capacity to contemplate spirituality.
There is only the fear and the irrational urge to fight for one's survival.
To be able to contemplate spirituality in such situations starts with treating the nervous system.
That is starting off by addressing the physical to then enter the psychological.
Deeper and longer breathing, an open and upright posture and use calmer and steady, yet balanced words.
As soon as the nervous regulates and the person's state changes they can then listen to Gnostic teachings. Where they heard them before but could not listen to them.
Here is a very interesting image of a real human nervous system dissected by two medical students. Here is the story behind it:
"In 1925, two medical students spent 1,500 hours dissecting an entire human nervous system. It is one of only four in the world.
The medical students were M.A. Schalck and L.P. Ramsdell of the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery. This can be viewed at the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, MO.
They began at the brain's base and worked their way down, managing to keep the system in one piece.
The identity of the person whose nervous system is on display as unknown. Museum director Jason Haxton told Live Science that the body likely came from a poor house or a prison.
Haxton told Live Science that the nervous system exhibit's estimated value was $1 million a decade ago."
