CELL INTELLIGENCE by NELS QUEVLI
|
This book explains that all plants and animals are built and produced by microscopic beings we call cells. The
purpose is to introduce you to your make, the cell and get you better acquainted with it and to let you know that it
is an intelligent being and very likely more so than yourself.
Man seems to know little or nothing of the life of the cell which so vitally concerns the health and happiness of
every person. Health is impossible without a clear understanding of life and without health, a happy life is
impossible.
In building and maintaining the body, cells act precisely in the same manner as we do. The cells which make up
the lining of the stomach for instance, reach out their hands and select this and that from the mixed masses we
have placed therein.
All things in this world seem to be in motion. There is no rest anywhere. Heat and light which constantly change
are mere forms of motion. In every chemical composition and decomposition, the atoms of matter are in motion
and so are the molecules they compose. Some cells carry with them a chemical laboratory where they are able to
direct and forge the atoms into larger molecules of matter to suit their needs.
A cell is able to direct and make use of the other forces in nature like electricity, gravitation, the movements of
water and wind, heat, cold, light and the different kinds of chemical action. A cell makes and uses heat to warm
up it habitations. It makes light to guide its actions and electricity for both offensive and defensive purposes.
The cell is a highly, organized and specialized animal that feels, feeds and performs all the functions of life.
Nourishment is transformed into the body tissues and through different channels it leaves the body in precisely
the same quantity as it entered, partly unmodified and in other form. No atom of matter has been lost.
Digestion is a chemical and mechanical process. The cells are compelled to comply with and take advantage of
chemical forces, matte and energy. Every chemical process can be called a combustion. The cells must obtain
heat or energy somewhere with which to produce the atomic changes and molecular disturbances or chemical
actions and changes desired. Without heat, the cell could not produce required fats, starches and sugars.
Plant cells use carbon, hydrogen, sulphur, phosphorous, chlorine, potassium, sodium, magnesia, etc. with the aid
of heat from the sun to build up material for future use. The plant cell must have fuel, air, heat and water when it
is producing living structures. Plant cells use heat and energy of the sun as a power. The atmosphere contains
oxygen, nitrogen, carbonic acid and ammonia. The soil contains silica, iron, lime, potash, phosphorous, sulphur
and ammoniacal salts. The soil and atmosphere contain all the material which is found in plants and animals.
The cell itself is a colony of beings, organized to work together for the mutual benefit of all. Cells must have the
faculty of memory, skill and intelligence to do things. Every cell in our body has this faculty of memory. There is a
centrosome who is the general manager of the cell. There is also evidence of transference of physiological
influences from cell to cell by means of protoplasmic bridges, showing that the nucleus in one cell may thus
control the membrane - forming activity in an un nucleated fragment of another cell. Every cell must be an
intelligent individual in order to be able to receive orders and execute them.
The cell possesses judgment and understanding and does nothing blindly. All cells of the body are possessed of
intelligence just as the original cell which started the construction of the body. If a man is intelligent the cell must
be. The cell is an a active living animal who mates, loves, feels, eats, drinks, breathes, jumps, moves and
performs all the things that every animals does, that it, has the attributes of a living being.
Every cell is able to remember not only what it has experienced during its own life but also what took place in the
immediate generation before it. The cell knows what it wants and what it is doing. The cells must be told in some
way what to build and be able to communicate and understand each other very clearly or else they could not
possibly work in harmony and have no one interfering with the other, but each producing what is required and
nothing more.
Cells have the ability to adapt to what is required in any particular case that may arise. Cells are builders; they
are expert chemists, artists, sculptors and mathematicians and produce everything that we use for food and
clothes and building material. However, nothing will be produced and maintained except what is necessary and
for a purpose. The cells which line the stomach and intestines stick out their hands and grab those particles of
food and building material that are required. They select and choose what is wanted and leave the other material
alone.
Cells have all the five senses of humans and two more, psychic and physical sense. The forces of magnetism,
electricity, light, heat and motion follow fixed laws. The cells take advantage of these laws just as man does and
produces what it needs. The cell is a living conscious being.
