Not entirely. Academia would view the immune system as a decentralized system. The thymus is where T-cells are formed... these are actually the ones which "kill" microbes and, to a degree, cancer cells. These T-cells are precisely the ones which identify cells as self or not-self.
When a T-cell identifies another cell as "not-self", they attach to it and inject free radicals into the "invading" cell. They may also secrete chemical messengers to recruit more specialized immune cells. For example, in the case of cancer cells, there are what are known are "Natural Killer" cells, or NK cells. These have even more "killing" ability than the T-cells.
The strange thing is that it appears the thymus becomes non-functional and even regresses in many people as we age. Academia says this is "normal" but I don't buy it. Might be "normal" in the sense that it is common... but I don't think it is natural.
Perhaps this is connected with a failure to activate the rose chakra?

Yes. I don't think it is any coincidence that the primary wavelength of physical light driving the manifestation of life on earth is around 500nm. But this is actually blue-green.
Quote:The Rosicrucians describe the thymus as well, and the timing of the changes, which sort of cioncides with "other stories" of old as well.
