We've known for thousands of years that human beings are quite multi-dimensional. First, there's the traditional body, mind, soul array. We can easily add to that heart and spirit, and maybe even spleen. Now, we have GUT! As in "I feel it in my gut". It's quite a remarkable extension. Studies trying to trace "chi flow" in traditional Chinese acupuncture body diagrams have discovered that while the nervous system is a part of this interconnected web, a much greater alignment is found by including the lymph system and even intercellular fluid gaps.
EM resonance has been traced along these various pathways as well, leading to a much greater "awareness mapping" of the body that was ever before realized as existing. As feedback cycles are slowly identified that make use of this previously unknown infrastructure, the link betwen modern science and ancient healing arts is coming much, much closer together.
Who knows where it will lead?
I either read a story or saw a show where the beings of a planet were asking for help. The doctors went down and couldn’t find anything wrong except an “infection” in the host. Turns out that the “infection” in the host was a collective bacteria that WAS the intelligence in the being and without the bacteria, the host was a dumb animal. What the bacteria needed was a way to suppress the immune system so that they could live in the host better.
Were the author writing about humans? ;^)
