At the molecular level, more than 99 percent of your body is carefully and uniquely constructed by the intelligent forces of nature from only six atoms—carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, nitrogen and phosphorous—with a minute sprinkling of 19 minor, but important others, such as sulfur, potassium, sodium and magnesium.
A thought experiment for your consideration—If a scientist could assemble you from the appropriate combination and distribution of 200 trillion-trillion atoms (20 followed by 25 zeros), the result would be a 115 pound (52 kilograms) human being. However, it would not be the real you.
The real you is a nonmaterial infinite and eternal web of Personal and Cosmic Consciousness, which can at its will, assume operation of this human construct. These fundamental elements of consciousness assure that larger superstructures such as internal organs, body fluids and bone, continuously communicate throughout the body in a way that enables you to function as a healthy person. Yes, your autonomic nervous system “manages” all involuntary physical processes such as breathing and heart rate; but the autonomic nervous system is under the “leadership” of your Personal and Cosmic Consciousness.
In the greater sense of physical and consciousness evolution, we human beings are the first species since the genesis of life on this planet to have the capability of asking and answering big cosmic questions such as—“Who am I?”, “Why am I here?”, “What’s my purpose?” and “What is the true meaning of life?”
In quiet moments of meditative awareness, when you have released the distraction of your fears and desires, you can not only answer these questions—you can manage and control your life for optimal physical and emotional performance, and live in happiness and fulfillment, sharing your gifts with those around you, making this a better world.
