=Psycho-Spiritual Components= Where there is confusion, this helps one to see that things can be sorted out, allowing everything to be clear and fall into place. The small intestine can become cluttered, confused, frustrated, and completely powerless. When the window is clean, the clarifying light comes in. There can be no purity is there is no light. This occurs if the window is dirty. **The official gets frustrated if he sees only impurity. Take him to the light of the window so that he can look out and become enlightened**. The heavenly window enables you to see your god. Use before SI-17; it is very unusual to use them both in the same treatment. Neck problems, slowness, lethargy. [JRW]

As a Window of the Sky Point, SI-16 provides clarity on a deep spiritual level to aid in the sorting process. In my experience, window points are some of the strongest points for correcting deviations between the heart and mind, thus **reducing habituated behavior**. [LJ]

The value of anything depends on what the standard is. Heaven is the holy absolute, the ultimate measure of value. Once the standard is clear, the chaos also clears. Enlightenment is an alchemical transformation – where there is light, darkness disappears. **Connects the heart with the head. For patients who feel overloaded with information and feel depressed, or confused, because they lack the time and peace of mind to digest the information.** 61.61.22 [ALHIM]
