Etidorhpa, Breathing and Gravity

Subject: [allplanets-hollow] Digest Number 157

Subject: Etidorhpa, Breathing and Gravity

List Members,

In this part of Etidorhpa, The Guide makes the point that breathing and
eating are traumatic activities for the body on the surface of the Earth
such that only a short duration of life is enjoyed. In a low gravity
environment, a human being would breath less, eat less, expend only a
fraction of the energy which we do on the surface and, consequently, live
much longer.

Keep in mind that we know now that prolonged exposure to lessened, slight,
or zero gravity is detrimental to human health. Our bodies are designed to
perform best under one "g," or Earth Gravity. Astronauts and Cosmonauts who
spend long periods of time in space are nearly disabled and helpless when
they come back to the Earth. Muscles, bones, circulatory system, and other
systems all start to malfunction after a while, and there's some evidence
that cell and even brain damage can and do occur. Prolonged exposure to low
gravity is simply bad for the human physiology. Some of the long-term
cosmonauts from MIR have permanent and debilitating problems as a result of
their stay.

I think this passage from Etidorpha indicates why it's considered to be an
allegorical tale which contains hidden truths. It sounds like an "astral"
experience, and if the "levels" described beneath the Earth are actually
astral levels of different dimensional or particulate densities, and the
traveler in the story is slowly "translated" from one dimension to another,
then passages such as this might make some sort of sense or have validity
(hypothetically).

Mike,

In relation to your comments below, I'll say that the astronauts seem to
experience no gravity, which isn't necessarily the same as low gravity.

And we are comparing bodies which developed under a certain level of gravity
to begin with. Maybe if a body were developed under low gravity, from the
very start, the body would last longer, experience less stress, expend less
energy, etc., and live longer.

I just feel so uncomfortable relying on any space program data.

I am not denying the possibilty of your explanation, though.
