We tend to think our lives are pretty ordinary, most of the time. We sleep, we wake, we eat, we bathe, we do various other very human and possibly animal acts, and we do most of them unconsciously – that is, we don’t think very deeply into them.
People who think deeply about stuff are few and far between, and we think of them as not too practical. After all, there is money to earn, things to buy, and food to prepare. There are things to clean, and errands to run.
When we do stop and really think about things, we uncover the magical in the everyday.
What makes us think there is something we call God behind all of this? Because when we dig deeply, we run into impenetrable barriers. We run into the magical, and we are left without any explanation, other than some intelligence is at work.
Here’s what we know about what we’re made of. We are, each of us, about 80% water. Not just any water, but water that happens to have just about the same salt and mineral content as seawater. That’s because the cells that travel about in our blood stream had their start, ten billion years ago, in the oceans of the world. We are a collective organism, using dozens of the types of cells that evolved individually as our symbiotic servants. We are the life of the Earth, in its latest effort to reach the pinnacle of aware intelligence.
Our blood cells, several types, roam our arteries and veins independently, each with its own purpose, like otters and beavers in a stream but without any idea where the stream comes from, or where it goes.
Each of our cells contains tiny sub-organisms that roam the cell independently, carrying and converting food to energy, and supporting our master programming, our DNA.
