level of the cell (see Fig. 36). This, in turn, evokes maximal interaction between all
cellular levels. Only in this state can a cell function with maximum efficiency and
minimal damage.

Additionally, every cell of a multicellular organism possesses several functions:
1. Individual processes — relating to life support.

2. Functional operations — geared to the well being of the organism as a whole.
3. Defensive (protective) processes related to preservation of the species.
Understandably, the cell must exhaust a portion of its potential fulfilling these
functions. In crisis situations, the cells must focus most of their potential on providing
defensive functions at the expense of other functions. In such instances, the cell
works on maximum drive and sustains maxi-mum damage. Commensurate with the
damage sustained in crisis situations, toxins accumulate within the cell, which are
unable to get released. This is due to the fact that the thrust of the remain-ing blood
pressure causes a movement of plasma through the intercellular space.

Thus the blood circulation effectively releases plasma from the capillaries into
the intercellular space. Since liquids are not compressible, fresh portions of plasma
push the earlier portions ahead, all of which promotes the circulation of plasma in the

intercellular space. The slowly moving plasma accumulates in the lymphatic vessels
and subsequently returns to the bloodstream.

The retention of toxins inside the cells triggers a chemical reaction between the
toxins and the cellular molecules, owing to the toxins' chemical activity.

Deterioration and malfunction of the intracellular processes ensue. For this reason,
after every stress load, cells need a period of recuperation — sometimes prolonged,
during which time they can completely or almost completely recover.
Under the impact of frequent stress loads, the cell is unable to recover, and rapid
disintegration ensues. Capacity for cell recuperation may vary among different types
of multicellular organ-isms, or even among members of the same species.

Additionally, during the life cycle of one and the same member, the ability to
recuperate may vary considerably. Cells undergoing extensive damage die and are
later replaced by new ones.

Now, let us explore what happens to cells laboring under critical conditions
and how this relates to our emotions.
With normal functioning, primary matters released after disintegration are
distributed among all cellular levels (see Fig. 38).
