In attempting a graphic representation of this iron radiation, I must mention that by its very nature it is not adapted to act beyond the human organism. The feeling persists: what is radiating forth is nevertheless localised within us, and remains so. There is a counteracting force from all sides, which dams and (see Diagram 23) stores up the iron forces. It is as though the iron rayed outwards to the human periphery with positive force; and there met a negative radiance from something which hits back, advancing as it were in concentric spheres. This is what can be perceived; the one element radiating forth and the other coming to hold it up; we therefore feel that we knock against something and cannot pass beyond the bodily surface.
