Theos-Talk Archives (November 2000 Message tt00127)

Would one necessarily have to contradict the other, that is 
recognizing germs as a factor, we also have what is natural 
factor of resistance to disease that psycho-physical in nature 
given the complex nature of the human organism so that such 
things as proclivities to certain illness are involved. 

Such factors as karma are not in my mind contradictory as cause 
and effect on the broad scale of karma are something physical 
scientists would not measure. "Auric infection" again would not 
necessarily contradict germ theory.

What I think is important is to give the findings of science their 
due but understand there are still many factors beyond scientific 
research that should be considered.
