A Working Model For Health
solar system, which is within the galaxy of the Milky Way, which is one of the cosmic entities forming the space-time of cosmology. This very recent awareness can be taken as part of those the self has given itself over the duration of man’s evolution on earth. For a model of health to be realistic it must contain a place for the components belonging to the cosmos, as man is finding them in his search of his condition. Whatever the routes taken by this search in various individuals and in various collectivities, formed by these people, it remains that to exist, there is no escaping in postulating that man has found himself of at least three realms: 1
the cosmic (or nuclear, atomic and molecular),
2 the vegetable (or cellular) and, 3 the animal (or behavioral). These as man has come to know them, in four centuries of enquiry in the Western civilization. To know them is only man’s concern as they have been codified in all the sciences of today. Atoms “know” something. We call that knowledge “affinity.” It feeds back to each of them whether other cosmic entities can be used in some relationships thus generating molecules. These through some of their atoms can relate to other molecules and generate through “reactions” what man calls larger molecules. In the cosmic realm this is “a way of knowing” which belongs to organized matter and we cannot take it away from matter. Nor that matter in space creates conditions, called “gravity” by man, which affects matter independently from affinity and gives it “mass-ness.” Matter can hold together and thus generate aggregates.
