Page 64 - final working of the ultimate healer
P. 64
We see how man in his attempts to create machines has
copied, as far as is possible, the mechanics of our bodily machine. The
heart can only be imitated. It is so perfect for its function that it cannot
work in any other fashion. No scientist can build a machine that will
fulfil the heart’s function better than the real thing.
Take the Eye, this is another marvel of the physical body. A
delicate organ built into the protection of the skull, into a special
socket designed for it. The stomach, the processing factory that exists
within our physical being, taking in raw materials and through its
processes turning the food we eat into the constituents necessary to
feed the many varied functions of the body.
Take the Heart again, it pumps the blood around the body
through the network of pipes. The lungs take in the air, break it down
into its various chemical components and distributes them, then takes
the waste air and expels it from the being.
The Endocrine system is a network of chemical factories, a
series of ductless glands that play a very important role in our life
support system. In the head we have the Pineal gland which, through
the function of the eyes, senses light and dark, producing melatonin,
providing a natural time sensing mechanism.
Then there is the Pituitary gland producing chemicals to aid
growth, milk production in females, to initiate labour, and to keep the
body’s water levels correct. There are other glands in this Endocrine
system, each with it’s own speciality.
The Brain sits on top of the central nervous system. And is the
control centre of this machine, its computer, taking in messages from
the outside world through the senses; touch, taste, smell, sight, and
hearing, all serve the main control centre. These senses are the
receptors for the peripheral nervous system and transmit messages
back to t
he brain through the central nervous system.
