Chapter 5: Thyroid gland Our "Butterfly of Good Luck!?"
The
thyroid gland is located on the trachea in the throat area and has the shape of
a butterfly. As incredible as it sounds, it is this "butterfly" that often attracts our luck and happiness.
It controls the rate of energy expenditure in the body, protein synthesis,
sensitivity to other hormones, regulates metabolism and water balance, oxygen
supply to cells, but also some immune manifestations, provides the necessary
conditions for growth, cell regeneration and development of musculoskeletal
system. With the help of sodium, the trace elements iodine and selenium, and
the amino acid tyrosine, the thyroid gland synthesizes thyroid hormones: triiodothyroxine, which regulates
growth, development, temperature and heart rate; thyroxine, which regulates metabolism; calcitonin, which regulates calcium and phosphorus. The activity of
the thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland, through the stimulating
hormone TSH, which is activated in the absence of thyroid hormones. TSH is
suppressed by the hormone somatostatin at high levels of glucocorticoids
(cortisol), and by estrogen and testosterone at high levels of iodine. (p.33,34,35,46,51,63,83,115-116)
Excessive production of thyroid hormones, which
are most often stimulated under conditions of prolonged stress and daily diet
with excessive amounts of iodine (iodine supplement in combination with iodized
salt, seafood, salmon, sushi, seaweed, brown algae), can lead to an overactive thyroid. The health consequences can be:
weight loss, rapid heartbeat, frequent urination, high blood sugar and low
cholesterol levels, heat intolerance, overemotionality, psychosis, anxiety
neurosis, panic, insomnia, osteoporosis etc. Such conditions are often
associated with severe kidney damage. (p.27,98)
Conversely, decreased thyroid hormone production, potentiated mainly by
prolonged iodine deficiency or elevated levels of the stress hormon
of cortisol due to excessive
carbohydrate and fat intake, but also under stress, is characterized by hypothyroidism. (p.34,45,168-169)
In this condition there is a specific
increase in overweight, loss of appetite, slow
metabolism; low or high sensitivity to cold; hoarse voice, impaired hearing; impaired memory and concentration; swelling in the limbs, hair loss, heavy
menstruation, rapid breathing, dry skin; constipation, gastrointestinal disorders; elevated cholesterol, liver enzymes or creatinine; emotional disorders, depression, etc. (p.21,43,54,116)
The
activity of the thyroid gland is highly dependent on:
• climatic conditions;
• the radiation background in the
environment;
• generation of free radicals in the body;
• diet and habits;
• lifestyle and the degree of stress in
everyday life;
• the way of expressing the individuality -
the character and the emotions.
As derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine, àdopamineànorepinephrineà adrenaline,
stimulated by our ambitions, fears and negative emotions, also have the ability
to involve thyroid hormones in various metabolic processes. If we ignore our
intuition for a long time just
because we are strongly convinced of our own nature and rightness, persistently
imposing our Еgo on others, there is a risk of concluding thyroid function in
the continuous maintenance of anabolic
processes due to cyclically activated dopamine. (p.24,29,33,34,36,44,116,123,137,159,179) Conversely,
if we constantly strive to prove ourselves to the world, suppressing our
individuality and neglecting our inner aspirations to serve one's domineering
Ego, we can cause increased activity of the thyroid gland. With such an
attitude, the systemic activation of norepinephrine and adrenaline stimulates catabolic processes that deplete our
own strength and essence. (p.33,35,44,95,96-99,133,153,160,167) In both
cases, we force the thyroid gland to "switch" the work of our immune
system against our own body. (p.79,85,86)
The thyroid gland controls the meridian of the
"Triple Heater" - regulating the combined function of the Kidneys,
Heart and Liver in the distribution of energy and hormonal balance. It is the one that creates the necessary
heat for the kidneys in cold conditions, and the necessary coolness and
moisture for the liver in dry heat conditions, maintaining the balance
between Yin energy of the kidneys and Yang energy of the liver, by regulating
the heart rhythm. (p.20,24,25,32,57-58,95,104,108,117,190)
Our Intuitive power is expressed through the thyroid
gland, which controls or potentiates
the destructive energy in our body, depending on the clarity of our
thoughts and feelings. (p. 32,42,57-58,102,116-117) Given
for mastering to the astrological signs of the earthly Taurus and the waterly
Scorpio (p.93,193), Intuitive
power is a manifestation of the primary earthly existence (p.42,102), possessed by every earthly organism,
regardless of its shape, type or number of cells. Through intuition, all living
organisms move, feed and orient themselves in space. Intuition is the
manifestation of the Supreme Mind. This power is especially pronounced in
birds. For example, the moment the young ducklings hatch, even before they have
developed a conditioned reflex to food or favorable conditions, they go in the
right direction. In humans, intuition manifests itself on five levels: of physical (under the sign of Taurus p. 41),
through cellular metabolism and hormonal signaling; instinctively (under
the signs of Virgo p.124 and Gemini p.118), through Soul
sensitivity and feeling; of the heart
(under the sign of Libra p.134), through the manifestation of the
Spiritual power; of the mental
(under the sign of Scorpio p.138), through the power of our Mind; and of the conscious level (under
the sign of Aquarius p. 103), through the forces of awareness,
Love and Wisdom.
In order
to consciously "attract luck to our side," we must know the energies
that control and flow through the thyroid gland. (p.32,94,116,179,191,192)

In order
to keep the "BUTTERFLY OF LUCK" landed on our shoulder, it is
necessary to balance our emotions and wisely follow our dreams without turning
them into stones on our personal path to happiness. We perceive intuition as our sixth sense, which protects us from
trouble by anticipating events. When we ignore this feeling, we gradually lose
our sense of it, subordinating intuition entirely to the impulses of our
emotions, ambitions, whims, dictated by our Ego. Thus, intuition remains locked
on a physical level, circulating between our desires, passions, hunger,
conditioned reflexes and hormones, causing various physical ailments that we
must subsequently fight. In search of
the causes of lost happiness in the world around us, we wander through the
"labyrinth of our psyche", unconsciously producing defects and
failures that destroy our true values and gifts, leaving
them deeply buried in the "Ark
of our Soul". Blinded by the brilliance of the rewards that the Ego
promises us, we miss the chance to meet
and manifest Our True Selves. We pass the "threads of Ariadne"
and remain deaf to the voice of Intuition, which quietly but constantly
whispers to us: "...to be happy is
the way ..." telling us the right choice - the direction of Our Personal
Path. (p.16,29,36,37-38,43,146-148,149,150,152,153,156,170)
It is the
thyroid gland that forces us, consciously or not, to become acquainted with the true nature of our Ego, sending us
various physical or mental tests through hormonal signaling, some of which are
autoimmune in nature. (p. 43,57,86,160,192) Thus, our Sixth
Sense forces us to go deeper into the "Fortress of our Ego", to
listen to our inner voice, to rediscover
the "Temple
of our Self".

The ennobling power of intuitive energy
|
|
In order to be able to
fully use the Intuitive Power, it is necessary
to know and master the primacy in all
its manifestations. Reactive Calcium (Ca ++), controlled by thyroid
hormones, is the carrier of the Primary Force in our bodies, expressing our
Ego and conductor of Intuition. The reactivity of calcium, which determines
the health of the skeletal, immune and cardiovascular systems, depends on the
way we use the Primary Force. The
insight of our Intuition depends above all on the Cordiality with which
we treat ourselves and others. Hard-hearthidness, for example, stiffens bones and joints, calcifies blood vessels,
arteries, and even! our intuition, and faint-hearthidness "eats the
muscles and phosphorus in the bones." The power of our Soul (applied bodies through magnesium Mg ++) can unlock our Heart Energy (expressed through the element of chlorine Cl- in our
bodies) with which we can freely receive and give
the Love of the Spirit (carried by phosphorus P). Adenosine triphosphate (containing three phosphorus
molecules and forming a powerful energy complex with magnesium ATP-Mg2+), is the cellular energy
currency (the physical expression
of Spiritual Power),
through which almost all life processes in our body take place. Energy
exchange, ie. the Intuitive circulation in
our life
depends on the Heartiness with which
we apply the Primary force in the three levels of Consciousness, manifested on a physical level through the elements of Intuitive
Potassium (K+), Reasonable Sodium (Na+) and Conscious
Sulfur (S). (p. 51,157) Only in a state of inner peace can we perceive the voice of Intuition, which gives us the necessary solutions. In our bodies, this balance
is maintained by the elements of potassium and chlorine. Cellular metabolism,
which synthesizes ATP energy, is driven by sodium-potassium transport,
depending on the electro-chemical charge of calcium.

|
CONSCIOUS METABOLISM - A
CONTRACT FOR A FULL LIFE
|
|
Life is a constant confidential exchange of Love. Our
metabolism shows whether we are good conductors of Love, whether we bring enough
care and gratitude into this trusted partnership with life. (p.13,17,32,43,93,99,144,157,161,189)
