what a great topic, rhonda.

i’ve often wondered about how this fits perfectly together as well… so i tried looking at the body as an example.

we have say, red blood cells, skin cells, heart cells and brain cells. we need all of these cells. they are obviously equally important for the functioning of the body… however, clearly there seems to be some kind of “positioning” occurring.

there are fewer heart and brain cells. yet having the majority of these particular cells functioning is critical to the survival of the organism.. hence, the body has a “rib cage” and “skull” to protect these slower to regenerate and more susceptible areas of cells.

skin and blood cells on the other hand seem made to be used up! they regenerate quickly and there are a lot of them.

now, human ways of comparing, for whatever reason, tend to go, “brain and heart cells more special and more important. skin and blood cells: less important.” this is some kind of “logic” i think derived from “if only a few can do it… it must mean you are “special” and one of the chosen few.”

noooo… that cell is designed exactly as it needs to be to do its function. there is “one” red blood cell manifesting as billions of cells in order to do its job. it is designed to take “hits” without really suffering (think fingernails which break off and keep growing so that they can do their function). and if that “one” blood cell is not appreciated or is abused the “one” cell could get sick: can we say something like “sickle cell disease”? trust me… with out that red blood cell, the “all important” brain and heart cells, don’t mean too much.

brain and heart cells are “positioned” in “important” areas of the body because, in this case, they need protection. they are not designed to take a lot of hits. their energy is allocated else wise so that they may do other functions.

so everybody is equal. but if you use old school human comparison based “position” or “quantity”, you might miss that. instead, one might try evaluations (cause we humans love some kind of analysis) based on actualization of purpose. in other words, does this fulfill a role/job? does the job benefit the whole? yes? then it is equally important.

translate all this to the idea of humanity as the “body” and we all the different cells. i am not attached to this little “theory” (and it is just in the toss around stage) i’ll bet there is more to know/add/clarify/adjust.… i just thought to look at microcosm to understand balance of the macrocosm.

hope to hear the ideas of others as well.

peace and love
