Hello my friends.
So today I want to
talk about
the metabolism of experience.
But before I do that I should define what metabolism means.
So here's the best definition of metabolism that is accepted
by scientists,
metabolism refers to the chemical processes
that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
There are two kinds of metabolism.
They're often distinguished from each other constructive metabolism,
the synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates and fats
that form tissue and store energy
and destructive metabolism. The breakdown of complex substances
and the consequent production of energy
and waste matter.
So that's a standard definition of metabolism.
But what is the goal of metabolism? What is the end purpose of metabolism?
It is to maintain life
life in a biological organism or the experience of life in a biological organism.
And healthy metabolism always means self regulation homeostasis.
The dynamic non change in the midst of change.
So every every aspect of metabolism that of course expresses itself as
as various bodily functions
is then
seen or expressed
as
as as healthy self regulating home a static process. So, ideal metabolism is where
anabolic processes which means constructive processes,
the construction of tissues from carbohydrates, fats
and proteins and then organs. Everything in the body
is a result of metabolism but so is the destructive process
which is the elimination of waste and the production of energy.
So it's a very finely regulated process.
So when I was in medical school we studied these different pathways
lipid metabolism, protein metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism
and all the chemical processes that
were responsible for self regulation homeostasis,
health, healing, wholeness
given that um
the way we were taught about metabolism was basically,
it was the metabolism of food.
So you ingest food which has all these
all these
these chemicals that ultimately result in proteins,
lipids, carbohydrates that then go into the formation of tissues and organs
and balance in the body.
So blood sugars maintained with a certain range and body temperature,
cholesterol levels, hormone levels, immune function, Everything
is within a range of dynamic activity which is
relative non change in the midst of change.
That is ideal.
But in medical school
I was only taught the metabolism of food
that we ingest.
Now I would say that's a very incomplete,
very incomplete understanding of metabolism.
Because what we metabolize
is every experience.
We metabolize perceptual experience.
We metabolize
experience through the five senses
but also through the five subtle senses.
Sound, touch, sight, taste and smell which are referred to as grandma tras
but we also metabolize experience
that we call the mind.
You know, thoughts, emotions, feelings. We also metabolize
our experience of uh of rationality or the intellect,
metabolize the experience that we call self identity.
And then this metabolism of experience
actually includes everything from eating breathing,
digestion of course uh the metabolic processes
but elimination also and thoughts and feelings
and emotions and desires and imagination anything
that you can call an experience ultimately
is metabolized as the signature or the symbolic representation of
a more fundamental level of existence or being
that we call awareness or consciousness.
So all all experience is processed in awareness or consciousness.
I'll repeat that. All experience is processed in awareness or consciousness.
Now we know that awareness doesn't have a form. It can't be seen or touched or
or heard or tasted or smelled or even imagine because
awareness is non conceptual Izabal.
It
actually
expresses itself as concepts.
It expresses itself as ideas.
It expresses itself as sensations.
Since modulations it expresses itself as emotions, feelings, thoughts,
etcetera.
But awareness itself
is
inconceivable
why? Because it doesn't have a form and not having a form, it is unbounded,
limitless
and being formless. It is infinite space list, timeless.
It has
only the following qualities.
It is self regulating. It is self evolving, It is
self organizing,
It is creative, it is a field of possibilities. It is unpredictable.
It is the source of attention and
intention and it is what modifies itself symbolically
as mind intellect, ego, which is called the subtle body
which is metabolized as what we call the conceptual of physical or karmic body,
which is
the symbolic representation of all experience. Well, experience.
But since experience
is processed in awareness,
that means all experiences processed non locally outside of space time.
It's signatures. It's symbolic representations are this body
and all this, all this. It's me, you other
biological organisms, but also what we perceive as rock, stones,
plants, stars, Galaxies,
These are all symbolic representation or
awareness
not only modifying itself as mind, intellect, ego, subtle body,
physical body or that which we call the physical body
and that which we call
the physical universe
the human experience of the physical universe.
And ideally that metabolism is an integrated unified process
in awareness or consciousness. Where body, mind
and the world
are
an integrated
expression, symbolic expression of
the metabolism of experience.
Your body is the metabolism of experience signature has
the world that you perceive.
It's both recycled and also it evolves
Now here's something you need to understand maybe.
And that is metabolism therefore is influenced by experience. Moment by moment.
Second by second,
instant by instant
and at the most fundamental levels that expression of
metabolism as at the level of energy and information.
The smallest unit of energy and information
in which waves of
energy are emitted or absorbed.
The smallest unit of that is referred to as a quantum quantum simply means quantity,
the smallest quantity.
So when we say quantum metabolism, quantum body,
we're talking about the most fundamental level
at which your body is being regulated
at which your body is being regulated.
Now of course, you know that in 1988 I wrote a book called Quantum Healing,
which was vilified by the academic
media, although some people did relate to it.
And now, you know, a lot of time is going by 1988
plus. That's 12 years plus 22 years. That's
well, that's 34 years have gone by. And I'm writing a new book now.
It's called Quantum Body
and it is about quantum metabolism and how you can regulate
your metabolism at the most fundamental level for health well being,
evolution of consciousness and actually freedom from all suffering.
I know that I've been criticized by academics not being
a physicist or theoretical physicist or mathematician or kind of popularizing
what we call quantum mysticism. That's the big criticism.
And many people have criticized me
academics for not even being wrong so far out that it's not even worth
talking about.
But I have been teaming up
with quantum physicists and mathematicians and cosmologists
to make sure that what I'm saying is
is actually quite legitimate of course,
standard quantum physics right now with multiverse
theories and string theory does not need consciousness
as part of the explanation of what fundamental processes are.
Although the Copenhagen school
and the pioneers of quantum physics max Plank and you know,
people like schrodinger uh and others right
in the beginning um in the Copenhagen interpretation
um actually that includes Niels Bohr were
very focused on how consciousness or measurement,
which of course requires
a conscious process actually results in what is called the
collapse of the wave function which appears as a physical
um
event,
although it's a space time event in consciousness.
So notwithstanding all the criticism and controversy around this.
My new book is in partnership with somebody called Jack Tuszynski
who's a quantum physicist from Poland but he's also a professor
at various institutions in europe and also in in the in in Canada.
And with another endocrinologist,
um neuro endocrinologist who does also believe in the
quantum model for the body and for its metabolism.
So slowly we are getting there and
this book is almost done. So it'll be out
sometime next year.
Quantum body quantum metabolism which is the
future of our understanding of well being
and is something that is amenable to measurement at the most fundamental levels.
I think we have to get to that level in biology.
Biology has kind of been left behind and in biology we still think of complexity
as an emergent phenomenon.
And we still think in reductionist terms when in fact your
body is the perfect example of entanglement or non local correlation.
As I mentioned before, a human body can think thoughts, play a piano kill germs,
remove toxins,
make a baby all at the same time while tracking the movement of stars and planets
and embodying them as its own biological rhythms.
So, entanglement, superposition, nonlocal correlation.
Synchronicity is actually an inherent part of how metabolism operates and this
can only occur if metabolism is regulated in a field of awareness
that is outside of space time,
only bait
being
at that level.
Outside of space. Quantum mechanics operates outside
space time.
And so your body's metabolism is also regulated by you
the real you, which is pure awareness and that real you
exists
outside of space Time projects the theater of space time and causality
as its signature and also
that which we call the physical body
with
quantum metabolism
as its expression.
If we understand this in new era of medicine
is at hand and
we will begin to understand quantum biology. Quantum metabolism, quantum body
and know that we are the source
of its regulation
and when we transcend to that source through the quieting of
what we call Brittany's of fluctuations that appear as sensations,
images, feelings and thoughts
that that level
of transcendence or samadi,
is
the level
where
the body
actually is perfectly regulated
and also metabolic activity is at the level of least expenditure of
energy and therefore at the level of quantum processes without any interference.
And that is what healing is. That is what wholeness is.
And this has implications not only
for a healthy and long life, but also yes,
extending health span and longevity through
the metabolism of experience. Including
what we call
the metabolism of the experience
of time.
That was the basis of ageless body, timeless mind.
And so what is the timeless mind
is pure consciousness and what is the ageless bodies,
the universe itself of which you are a particular
expression signature
in space and time.
So more on this, let me know if you're interested in quantum metabolism
and these ideas and I will continue to share them with you.
And I look forward to sharing the book with you as well very soon.
Thank you.
Hope you have a great day.
