proportion and harmony. At the end of the first
month, fully developed eyes, ears, nose, chin
and cheeks become visible.
In the course of this harmonious deve-
lopment it is very important that growth
and structural change are ensured. It is ne-
cessary that these changes occur in the sa-
me way for all parts of the body, because all
the organs of the human body have a highly
complex structure. For example, the eye alo-
ne has 40 different parts. In order for the eye
to be able to perform its function, it is neces-
sary that the growth of these parts be pro-
portionate, the connections between the
parts be sound and that every part be in
its own place. Otherwise, the eye could
not perform its function. In the same way,
in the formation of the arm, the bones and
muscles must begin their formation at the same time.
As can be understood from this, all the cells of the embryo act in har-
mony. Every one of them is aware of the general plan of the body. Every
one of them sends a number of messages and reacts to messages coming
from other cells. All the cells in the embryo act together; with real unders-
tanding, each one different from the other, they use what is required in the
information contained in the DNA as needed.
But how do the cells know where to go and what to do? How can
they act in such harmony together with other cells? Who decides how to
use the genetic material contained in the cells and how will the cells dif-
ferentiate between one and another?
In the organs of our bodies there must be no deficiency or excess. A
deficiency in an organ is sometimes fatal; at least it causes some disability.
An excess places an unnecessary burden on the body. In that case, first it
is necessary to determine the number of organs that the body needs. How
