Pyramid feng shui is a rational scientifically based way of understanding how place impacts on human behaviors.
There are two kinds of contributions to disease, active and passive. Obesity caused by a high caloric diet, eating too much food, or a combination of these joined by a lack of exercise is what we will call an active contribution. The outcome can be linked to input. Sometimes we engage in a behavior that we don’t know is harmful, like sun worshipping generations without the knowledge about the sun’s contribution to skin cancer. This can be placed in the passive category, since you don’t know that one action can have negative consequences you are not actively contributing to being unhealthy.
There is one exception to this rule, and that is obsessive behaviors. Any obsessively engaged in behavior will, in the long run, have deleterious affects. My Uncle Hy was a friend of Pritikin when he was formulating his heart diet. Since my Uncle Hy has just suffered a heart attach he agreed to be a guinea pig for Pritikin’s ideas and did so with a zeal that allowed for no deviation from the set forth regime. The diet certainly contributed to my uncle’s health for many years, but in his eighties he was diagnosed with a disease that was caused by too little fat in a diet, i.e., anything in excess over the long haul can have negative affects. Obsessive behavior is almost all cases lead to a breakdown. But this news is not all bad. Surely it can contribute to breakdowns, but it can also contribute to healing. The conundrum is to understand the difference between obsessive activities that lead to disease and iterated activities that can lead to health.
Moreover, there are two kinds of contribution to healing, active and passive, both are valid, yet the passive kind is often dismissed because our Western minds can’t ingest testimonial results. Yet, Heisenberg’s experiment demonstrated that one trajectory can have two outcomes and in that way healing is a trajectory that can’t be predicted but has two outcomes. And we all know people who smoked all their lives and didn’t get lung cancer or the person who has all kinds of junk food and doesn’t gain weight. What then can we do to promote the result we desire? In a statistically significant number of cases, it has been shown that we can engage in behaviors and beliefs that will benefit our healing. In the context of our physical spaces, this will be our topic this summer.

The question is, would you get skin cancer if you were never subjected to knowledge that 1. sun exposure can cause skin cancer and 2. skin cancer even exists. Do you need the basic knowledge to acquire the infirmity? Can this knowledge come from a third party and cause you to acquire the infirmity?

I believe yes, the affects of toxins are not conditioned by the knowledge of one who is affected. On a personal note, I was given radiation treatments for a stuffy sinus condition as a child with radioactive material shoved up my nostril.
After one treatment, the four year old me, rebelled,kicked the doctor in the groin and ran out of the room. My Mom, mortified never took me back for subsequent treatments. The statistics on this treatment are chronicled and most of those, who unlike me, did not balk are dead. We didn’t know then the toxic affects of radiation and still those given the treatment are dead
