There is one type of matter - food, air, thoughts and emotions that go in
and out, but there is a second type that makes up the body itself. When the
physical cells die and they are replaced by new ones, these too vibrate in
a way similar to the rest of the body. The vibrations of the body are STILL
not achieving rest from the ego's energies even though the departing
energies or elements get other types of stimulation.

And I suppose that new automatic body responses will form in the future as
intended to manifest forth the inner life. Thinking in terms of singing or
athletics or other karmically related human traits, our learning is not all
done in one life.
