wants and is uncontrolled, except by its addictions. The

human is then in an ego state. It sees itself as being

something rather than part of something. The energy to

maintain an ego comes from the human form and is

limited. The more the human thinks of itself the more the

drain on the limited resources of human energy. The

human in an ego state will feel the desires to replenish

these resources through indulging these desires and the

human will eventually fall into ill health. The Spirit has

no control over the human at this stage, and the human
if left to its own resources will burn out. The indicators

that this process has gone awry are the symptoms of
illness. If these signals are recognized and the human

surrenders itself to its relationship with its Spirit then

good health can be re-attained. There are situations

where this does not happen. When the Spirit uses health

to control the human then it is that Spirit can use illness

to terminate its connection with the human. This causes

the human to die.
