Life and Perspective: Are We Just One of Earth’s Cells?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Sarah Giles – fractalenlightenment

We all know there is a delicate balance here on Earth from bacteria to people, but can it be said that our planet is one living being made up of “cells”? Certainly our existence has shaped the planet, but every piece of the puzzle is necessary. Are we a microorganism of Earth? Let’s look at the Complexity theory explained by Neil Theise, a Liver Pathologist and Stem Cell Specialist, that may suggest this very thing.

According to his theory, individual interacting parts use feedback to self organize, adapt, and evolve, thereby acting as a whole. Like an ant colony: you need a certain number of ants to make a system, the more ants the more complex their tunnels become, there has to be negative feedback loops for self organization, and a low level of randomness for adaptability.

He has found, “…adult stem cells can sort of be as flexible as embryonic stem cells…bone marrow cells could become liver cells or lung cells or skin cells of virtually any tissue in the body, but very rarely unless there’s a really severe injury of a particular type that would trigger it….this was an example of low level randomness in the system… Cells fulfill all those functions, and that means that our bodies are self-organizing cells, and not just our human cells…”

Only an estimated 1% of the cells in our body are human, the rest being bacteria, which we need to survive. Dr Theise believes that sentience is first found at a cellular level, because cells can process information and react to it. We are a living eco-system, with individually thinking bacteria living off us to keep us alive.
