Mae-Won Ho: Fundamental Aliveness: The Life Sciences
What is life, when did life emerge, what were the transition stages? From a thorough-going organicist perspective, one does not ask, "What is life?" but, "What is it to be alive?". Indeed, the best way to know life is to live it fully." MWH Mae-Won Ho The Quantum Coherent Liquid Crystalline Organism "The “rainbow worm” is this little fruit fly larva I first encountered in 1992 as it was hatching from its egg. We placed a batch of eggs in a continuously irrigated chamber on a microscope slide under the polarizing microscope and waited. The microscope was set up so we can see the organism developing and getting energized, right through to the arrays of molecules that make up its tissues and cells. All organisms, including everyone in this hall, will look just as resplendent in all the colours of the rainbow under the polarising microscope. But what do the colours mean? Geologists use the polarising microscope to identify rock crystals. We have slightly modified the setting, but the principle is the same. The rainbow colours are generated by crystals with orderly arrangements of atoms and molecules. We were puzzled at first. In rock crystals or liquid crystals outside the organism, molecules and atoms certainly have an orderly arrangement that stays ordered because there is no movement. But in the living organism nothing is static, the molecules and atoms are moving all the time. So how can they maintain the molecular order required to generate the brilliant crystal colours? You will notice in the video sequence that the most active parts of the organism are always the most brightly coloured, and hence most like crystals. The only explanation is that the molecules are moving coherently together, so much so that they appear as ordered as a static crystal. To cut a long story short, the molecules, especially the big ones, macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids, thoroughly infiltrated with water, are in a dynamic liquid crystalline state. To begin with, they are completely aligned with their electrical polarities to form a continuum that links up the whole body, permeating throughout the connective tissues, the extra-cellular matrix, and into the interior of every single cell. More importantly, all the molecules, including the water, are dancing together as a whole, and the more active they are, the more coherent, hence the brighter the colours." Role of Water in life for undulations and tidal rhythms The breath is the fundamental expression of aliveness : primary respiration in Cranial Osteopathy, breath as an organizing field, biodynamic, metabolic field, chi, ki, prana, self-organizing system, rhythmic undulations in living matrix-jelly like tissues what are thses rhythms, what drives them, what disturbs them embryological forces as articulated by Erich Blechschmidt Simltaneous Condensing and Expanding Yield (Bonnie) notochord as organizing center orientation to (vertical) midline and horizon tidal forces of fluid movement disciplined practices such as tai chi and chi gung, continuum, BMC therapeutic disciplines such as Biodynamic Cranial Sacral work hands on healing, facilitating coherence (not inducing!) cells as dynamic processes, aggregates of cells are tissues, aggregates of tissues are organs aggregates of organs are organisms aggregates of organisms are ecosystems
