So when Spinoza refers to substance, is he referring to the conditioning of the cells? It’s the substance on the outside of the cells that makes them depressed. The substance is conservative.
The rhinoplasty corrects the breathing problem. No longer making the substance the brain is able to work out the cellular conditioning in time. Little by little the cells improve. The person thinks clearly better after the rhinoplasty. This is my recent reading of Spinoza.
Today is his best day.

There is more writing on Gevluef about Rhinoplasty. I mentioned Spinoza. I believe that he was also distinguishing the dominant and recessive traits of the conscience. This is a major theme at Gevluef: see Conscience Page (about 9 pages).
