Body Intelligence





FROM>>>CARE2.com
by Deepak Chopra


I
define intelligence simply as “know-how.” Intelligence is present
everywhere in our bodies. Our own intelligence is far superior to any
we can try to substitute from the outside. Intelligence is more
important than the actual matter of the body, since without it, that
matter would be undirected, formless, and chaotic.
Ninety-eight percent of the atoms in your body were not there a year
ago. The skeleton that seems so solid was not there three months ago.
The configuration of the bone cells remains somewhat constant, but atoms
of all kinds pass freely back and forth through the cell walls, and by
that means you acquire a new skeleton every three months.
The skin is new every month. You have a new stomach lining every
four days, with the actual surface cells that contact food being renewed
every five minutes. The cells in the liver turn over very slowly, but
new atoms still flow through them, like water in a river course, making a
new liver every six weeks. Even within the brain, the content of
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and so on is totally different today from a
year ago.
Even though the rates of change may differ, change is always there.
What I am calling “intelligence” takes on the role of guiding this
change so that we do not collapse into a heap of bricks. That is one of
the most obvious facts about the physiology, but intelligence is so
changeable, so quick on the move–in other words, so alive–that medical
textbooks devote almost no space at all to it.
Adapted from Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine, by Deepak Chopra (Bantam Books, 1990)

Wow! I didn't know the stomach was so active in renewing cells.

Isn't the body amazing? And people say this all happened by chance. They'll never convince me of that.

About 5 - 6 years ago, I used to get his Emails - excellent advice and very calming too. I had forgotten about him - think I will read his advice again - kind of 're-charge my battery'
