Yes.What are those tissues made up of?
Cells.And what are those cells made up of?
Molecules.What are those molecules made up of?
Atoms.And what are those atoms made up of?
Subatomic particles.And what are those subatomic particles primarily composed of?
Energy.When we arrive at the conclusion that our physiological vehicle is made
up of the same stuff as the rest of the universe, and these folks bump up
against the notion that what animates the body is a form of energy—the
same 99.99999 percent “nothing” that constitutes the physical universe—
they either shrug and walk away or come to realize that there is something
to this notion that a unifying principle pervades all of physical reality.
Isn’t it ironic, then, that we keep all of our attention on the 0.00001
percent of reality that is physical? Are we missing something?
If this nothing consists of energy waves that carry information, and this
force organizes our physical structures and their functioning, then it
certainly makes sense to refer to the quantum field as an invisible
intelligence. And since energy is at the basis of all physical reality, that
intelligence I’ve just described to you has organized itself into matter.
Think of the preceding conversation as a kind of template for how this
intelligence has constructed reality. The quantum field is invisible potential
energy that is able to organize itself from energy to subatomic particles to
atoms to molecules, and on up the line to everything. From a physiological
perspective, it organizes molecules into cells into tissues into organs into
systems, and finally into the body as a whole. Put another way, this
