Nerve energy, more commonly known as nervous energy, resulting from initially unavoidable resistance to our elemental environment, is to draw our attention to the wonder of world-experience. If we fail to deal creatively, or even productively, with that resistance, we are confronted, in ourselves, by psychic phenomena, which in turn, unless countenanced, turn into psychosomatic, psychomental and psychophysical states - which in turn, unless dealt with - confront us as phobias, allergies and addictions. It is shown, experimentally, how all these apparently negative and even bad `problems' essentially draw our attention to the possible removal of underlying blockages to human-natural growth.
