Thesis statement

The human body is accompanied by a mind and many would say a soul, but it is fundamentally a machine.

The Body Is A Complex Machine

Mankind in its search for explanations of the phenomena that affect our lives has, with the obvious exception of modern medicine, failed to confront the fact that the body is a machine. It is necessary to comprehend the implications of the mechanical nature of the body in order to understand the interrelation of the various components that make up human life, particularly the implications that involve the five senses and the way we perceive vibrations through them (Netter, 2006, 88-258).

The human body is a machine consisting of many different, interconnected machines. Each machine (heart, lungs, intestines, etc.) runs at its own individual speed, but all function in a specific, predetermined relationship to each other. In this sense, the body is analogous to the most complicated man-made machines, such as automobiles, tape recorders, or space capsules, which consist of many separately functioning components that are mechanically linked together, each of which, in itself, is a complete machine. In fact, the body is the most complex of all such compound machines. But unlike man-made machines, the various machines that make up the body are not in a rigid, inflexible, unchanging interrelation to each other.

The flywheels and cogwheels of a watch or the parts of a transmission system of an automobile are in rigid interrelationship to each other. They either function at a prescribed ratio to each other, with little allowable tolerance, or they break. Not so the human body. Even with relatively great aberrations from what would be considered normal, it is still possible for the body to function and sustain meaningful life. If the components of the body greatly exceed the normal tolerances, the aberrations become so disruptive that they are usually experienced as sickness. But there is relatively great leeway in the ratio to each other of the functioning of the various interrelated separate organs (Fukuyama, 2002, 88-54).

While these possible variations do affect the functioning of our bodies, determine our general feeling of well-being (nervousness, sluggishness, etc.), and limit (in the sense of defining the limits of) our sensory perceptions, they must vary quite far from the norm before someone would be either incapacitated or considered sick. But it is the subtle ways in which bodies that are functioning normally differ from each other, and the effect these differences have on the way we experience our five senses, that determine the differing qualities of our experiences.

The Quality Of The Vibration1 Of Our Bodies Determines Both Our Feeling Of Physical Well-Being And The Quality Of Our Perceptions

The body consists of four major complexes of moving parts, all synchronized to each other that move or vibrate at different speeds and rhythms. These four major complexes are:

The movements of the heart and circulatory system

The movements of the digestive system (stomach, small and ...
