Cell Wisdom

| filed under:

The human body has approximately 10 trillion cells. Each one of them has choices, and the intelligence to make that choice.

The following are statements about typical cell behaviour. Read them and consider whether they are TRUE or FALSE.

  1. Every cell agrees to work for the welfare of the whole. Its individual welfare comes second. Selfishness is not an option.
 True / False
  1. A cell keeps in touch with every other cell. Withdrawing or refusing to communicate is not an option.
 True / False
  1. Cells adapt from moment to moment. Getting caught up in rigid choices is not an option.
 True / False
  1. Cells recognise each other as equally important. Going it alone is not an option.
 True / False
  1. Although every cell has unique functions, each is constantly creative. Clinging to old behaviour is not an option.
 True / False
  1. Cells obey the universal cycle of rest and activity. Being excessively active or aggressive is not an option.
 True / False
  1. Cells function with the smallest possible expenditure of energy. Typically a cell stores only 3 seconds of food and oxygen.
 True / False
  1. Due to their common genetic inheritance, being an outcast is not an option.
 True / False
  1. The primary activity of a cell is giving. Hoarding is not an option.
 True / False
  1. Cells reproduce in order to pass on their knowledge, experience and talents; withholding nothing from their offspring. This is a kind of practical immortality, submitting to death on the physical plane but defeating it on the non-physical. The generation gap is not an option.
 True / False

Interestingly – they all are true until, for reasons not well enough understood, a cell or two starts to behave in an aberrant way, which is what I believe is a cancerous phenomenon.

But now re-read the questions as if they applied to humans themselves. Ask them of yourself and those nearest to you, your family and close friends, and the people with whom you work!
Disturbing! But it can be changed.

That’s what true leaders do.
