Wormwood

Well surprisingly enough wormwood was associated to relieving the parasites in the intestines over the centuries.

I know you don't want to hear about intestinal parasites and the point I would make here is that there's a vast multitude of nasty areas in life that aren't brought up in this work and the

positive universal aspect would beg the question are not all things of importance?

Yes all things are of importance and the view towards them is all that I endeavor to alter with this book, to some degree.

The fact that the oils or properties extracted from this plant was used to destroy parasites in the human body is interesting to the point that it is a poison to rid ourselves of infesting

creatures or a negative used for a positive final result.

Looking at the nature of the universe there are all kind of infesting creatures that we tend not to kill and let feed as parasites from each of our spiritual energies. 

Not all of them are negative but any and all can become an obsession for a moment or a lifetime if you don't keep a handle on them.

What consumes your attention and occupies your time can be seen as parasites depending on the results from the interests that you're showing at the time.

Like watching hour after hour of television shows that you have seen a hundred times already but this is what you do.

This could be seen as a parasite in sloth and self-indulgence by avoiding any activity whatsoever.

So in the relief of parasites the concepts of what is helpful and what is wasted are implied as effective for some form of creative outcome.

The relation can be taken in the form of a total positive also as the sculptor obsesses over the statue he or she is carving, painter over the canvas or husband over his bride.

It is the amount of attention that we devote to a thought or activity that instills the true effectiveness of the item or concept which we either find as important or not.
