DANCE OF THE CELLS

ABSTRACT

A paradigm shift in scientific self-awareness introduces a radically different perspective on the cell - one that recognizes the inter-penetration of physical and metaphysical properties. The flaws in our present paradigm are exposed, as it has its basis in separation. I appeal to the authority of the Diamond Sutra, where the Buddha mapped reality as a paradigm of interconnectedness, of Interbeing - not of separation. These understandings are applied to the cellular dance. Physical and metaphysical properties are enfolded in a more inclusive medical model than is presently accepted by medical science. This is applied to the activity of retroviruses in the cell, and to the key provided by meditation to raise the vibrational frequency of cellular templates and boost the immune system. These considerations have a place in current medical research on AIDS, provided that medical scientists can step into an inclusive paradigm - one that has physical and metaphysical components.
