The Human Constitution

Human beings, the culmination of billions of years of natural evolution, are formed from the dynamic interaction of cosmic and earthly forces. The ovum, or egg, in a woman forms as a result of the inward spiral motion of follicles in the ovaries, while the sperm in a man is due to the outward differentiation or reproductive cells. These processes are, respectively, yang and yin; fusing, they create new life.

In the womb, the embryo constantly receives cosmic centripetal force, spiraling counter-clockwise through the center of the hair spiral on the mother's head, the Earth's centrifugal force, spiraling up clockwise through the mother's uterus. Bother energies charge the developing baby from above and below, generating forces of vital electromagnetic energy. Traditionally, this energy was known as ki in Japan, chi in China, prana in India, ruach in Israel, the Holy Spirit among early Christians, and as the action potential in the nervous system when viewed from the scientific lens. The union of cosmic and Earthly forces in the womb creates the fetuses physical, mental, and spiritual constitution. From a single fertilized cell, a complex new being in born with trillions of cells arranged according to a blueprint drawn up by evolution.

In this highly charged environment, a channel of vertical energy appears as the two forces meet. In addition to the two entrance points, from above and below, cosmic and earthly forces collide and charge five major areas in the energy channel, producing seven major centers of activated natural electromagnetic energy. In ancient India, these energy centers were known as chakras, or wheels.

Together with the rotational movement of the embryo in the womb, these two highly charged forces produce energy that radiates out from the center of the embryo toward the surrounding atmosphere, forming an invisible layer of energy around the baby. Invisible currents are generated within this field that form a series of inward-moving and outward moving spirals of energy. The primary inward-moving spiral develops into the digestive and respiratory systems, while the outward-moving spiral develops into the nervous and skeletal systems. In between, the circulatory system develops. Further differentiation leads to formation of compacted organs, which are slower in movement, and expanded organs, which are faster in movement. Altogether, seven separate branches of the body's spirallic system develop, unifying digestive, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, endocrine, and reproductive systems and functions in one comprehensive whole.

After the heart and other major organs are formed, electromagnetic energy begins to discharge in both upward and downward directions, leading to the development of the arms and legs. Electromagnetic currents or streams of energy branching off the chakras known as meridians, terminate in the formation of arms, hands, and fingers, and legs, feet and toes. The meridians themselves are actually spirals of streaming energy, not lines, channels, or tubes. They represent the entire process of energy flow, entering the body, creating and activating the organs, and then discharging upward or downward to form and activate the limbs. From this view, the organs, glands, and functions of the body are not distinct from the meridians from the meridians, but are the most physical condensed part of the entire meridian system. Each meridian differentiates into numerous smaller branches, streams and rivulets that transport blood, chi, and consciousness to each of the trillions of cells. The human body is an intricate combination of visible and invisible structures and functions. Organs, glands, tissues, and cells are the outward manifestation of an underlying energetic network of meridians and chakras charged by spiraling energy. Together these make up the natural electromagnetic constitution of human beings.
