Each one of these things is a manifestation of
              the compassion and mercy that God has for
              every living thing in His perfect creation.



                   The Cell Cluster Attaches
                   to the Uterus
                   In order for the pregnancy to continue
              in a healthy way, the cell cluster must find an
              appropriate place to lodge. A place must be
              chosen that affords protection and that has
              the characteristics that will be able to facilita-
              te the birth nine months later. Moreover, this
              place must also be close to the mother's blo-
              od vessels which will provide nourishment
              for the baby. The most suitable place for this
              operation is the wall of the uterus.
                   The cell cluster, which advances to-
              wards the uterus from the fallopian tube,
              moves with an awareness of what it is doing.
              It is in the fallopian tube for 3-4 days but do-

              es not attempt to stop and lodge at any point
              there. It knows that before it reaches the ute-
              rus, no place where it attaches itself will rece-
              ive it or allow it to survive. It advances
              towards the uterus; it finds in the walls of the
              uterus a place where the blood vessels are
              plentiful and lodges there. As a seed planted
              in the ground sprouts and spreads its root, so
              the cell cluster continues to grow, and mo-
              ving deeper into the tissues that will nourish
              it, produces for itself new channels for that
              nourishment.
