The Wonderful Body

Greetings each, Bows

Took this from a friend of mine . Hope you like it

'...let’s look at some common sense, tangible biology. Your body – you – consists of 100 TRILLION cells (that is a number with 14 zeros), all of them vibrant and alive, communicating with each other in four different languages simultaneously:
• Mechanical – neighbor cells and tissues touch each other and are informed about each others’ biochemical needs 24/7. Muscles, tendons and bones constantly collaborate to make each single joint move in harmony. The liver touches the stomach and anticipates what kind of food can be expected to be digested and assimilated for the next few hours.
• Biochemical – Literally millions of different enzymes, nucleic acids, vitamins, co-enzymes, hormones and trace minerals act in an extremely well-orchestrated symphony around the clock to keep you alive and sane in every cell and tissue of your body. Your immune system constantly monitors every organ for ‘invaders’ and communicates rapidly if you cut your finger or catch the flu.
• Electrical – Your brain and nervous system communicate continuously at 124 mph (or higher) with every cell of your body and process information from the outside that comes in through more than 10 different senses. Your internal information highways are so sophisticated they serve as a model for the information highway. Cloud computing exists right in your brain. The body processes more information per day than the entire Internet.
• Photons – It’s said of people close to death that they experience ‘the lights going out’. The German professor Fritz Albert Popp was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1974 for his discovery that each human, animal and plant tissue emits a unique frequency of light that can be measured and even used to diagnose severe illnesses like different forms of cancer. Only now are we beginning to discover the power of phototherapy and benefiting from it.
Let’s call this incredible wisdom of your body “Physical Intelligence”. It’s the total sum of the synergy, communication and aliveness in every single cell, and between 100.000.000.000.000 cells 24/7 for as long as you are alive. And that’s without even taking into account the fact that these cells constantly regenerate, replace damaged cells and grow as the body matures for the first 20 years of your life.

This tiny glimpse of the Physical Intelligence present in your body suggests that any perception of the body as limited is based on very bad information. Could it be that we have been overlooking the real miracle over the last few thousand years in human history...'

This isn't really "common sense" and it's a damned shame it isn't.

Great post, Mike !

A good thing to keep in mind, indeed. I am very fond of the idea that there is far more beauty in the natural world than people like to see, and it is not restricted to the beauty of a grove or glade, though those are wonderful things too, certainly.

There is beauty in the stars, and in the revolution of the planets, in the way that the universe comes together to allow life to grow and be sustained. There is beauty in the world around us, in the animal and plants that have come to be in such diverse environs and with such diverse and strange features. There is beauty in our bodies, down to each tiny cell... and there is beauty in the way we live our lives.

Thank you for posting this.

On a related note, I wanted to read more about Fritz-Albert Popp's work, but he is a footnote on Wikipedia, and doesn't appear to have won a nobel prize (he isn't on their website), though he did win the Rontgen prize at his university in Wurzburg.
Do you know where your friend read about him?

Greetings Each Bows

Thank you for the replies .. There is so much we miss during a day we tend to only look at what is n front of us. posted this in my journal or may have been my More or Less post.. If you take the time to just sit and really really look, you will see. If you really really listen you will hear and all will become startlingly clear

The Force or Ki as I call it knows no difference in all of these thing it just , IS. The smallest object or the largest could the same. so mall you cannot see it or so huge you cannot see all of it so have no idea what you are looking at. Apparently there are some stars which are so big they cannot be measured.

I also love the Native American philosophy on certain things. If they did not understand, it really didn't matter it was there and that was that..The Great Mystery
