How the body builds itself

The body exists within and builds itself to a critical blueprint - a type of body consciousness mental image - that defines its space, shape, structure, and function. Our quest, if we want to live long and prosper, is to rid ourselves of all interferences to this automatic building process while providing the raw material that the body needs.

What are some of those interferences? The best essay that I've seen that provides a detailed answer is the Health Aspect of Integrity. Here are some of the interferences that you will find:

1. Mal-nutrition
2. Injury
3. A mental image of the injury that is superimposed over the blueprint.
4. Composite bodies built through decision and self-image.
5. Suicide by invalidating the body's integrity over time (as with cancer).

The problem with many of these interferences is the fact that we are not aware of it as it is happening. We are lost in the stories of our lives. If we can get out of that story long enough to become aware of how life works, we can see the connections between our lives and the environments that we live in.
