We have spoken of a Mind/Body connection, where the mind directs and affects the body, and how exceptional concentration can increase this connection; of a Spirit/Body connection, whereby the incarnated spirit influences the physical body to the degree that the body can respond; and of a Mind/Spirit connection, whereby the spirit likewise influences the mind by affecting the brain chemistry that constitutes thought. In sum, this constitutes the life-force, and there is no force such as chi outside of these parameters. The spirit cannot exhort the mind or body beyond what it is able. All tales to the contrary should take into consideration the suggestibility of the mere mortals who wish it to be otherwise.
