There is a sentence I cannot understand.
Physically they may be passed on in whatever manner is peculiar to a specific strain.
Does the word "strain" here mean "a state of worry and tension caused by a difficult situation",or " a strain of a germ, plant, or other organism is a particular type of it"?
The following is the context, a paragraph in Seth material, wait your answer on line!
Individually, each "victim" was to one extent or another a "victim" of apathy, despair, or hopelessness, which
automatically lowered bodily defenses.
Not only do such states of mind lower the defenses, however, but they activate and change the body's chemistries,
alter its balances, and initiate disease conditions. Many viruses inherently capable of causing death, in normal
conditions contribute to the overall health of the body, existing side by side as it were with other viruses, each
contributing quite necessary activities that maintain bodily equilibrium.
If certain viruses are triggered, however, to higher activity or overproduction by mental states, they then become
"deadly." Physically they may be passed on in whatever manner is peculiar to a specific strain. Literally, individual mental problems of sufficient severity emerge as social, mass diseases.
