Because of the mutual connections in a locally developed ecosystem, the locally evolved relationships are extremely important. The place is a breeding ground. The mutual symbiotic adjustments of the symbionts in a holobiont are disturbed when even one species is removed.
Ultimately, the entire web of relationships is carried by microbes. For example, in humans, communication between the brain and the stomach is just as fundamental to capabilities and behavior as the brain. These stomach-brain connections apply to all mammals. One of the most famous researchers in this area, Emeran Mayer, writes in The Mind-Gut Connection: How the Hidden Conversation Within Our Bodies Impacts Our Moods, Our Choices, and Our Overall Health (2016), that the gut and the inhabitants of the Gut, the microbes, think for the brain. That is why he calls the bowels the ‘second brain’. The bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract play a central role: the presence of certain types of bacteria and their products have a major influence on the willingness to take risks, on thought processes, and on moods such as apathy and depression. In addition, the digestion of foods is largely provided by intestinal bacteria, as is the stimulation of the immune system. This is why the microbiome is a second brain. Michiel Korthals
“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
We know that the Earth is a massive magnet, due to the circling electric currents in its liquid outer core. It is composed of highly conductive molten iron, nickel, and other minerals; the Earth’s rotation acts as a generator spinning the substances, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces.
The Earth’s magnetic field, although invisible to the human eye, can be called a true planetary defense shield that has an invaluable impact on the survival of all life forms. If it did not protect the Earth from the deadly and high-energy cosmic rays that are continually emitted by the sun, the planet’s entire ecosystem would cease to exist.
The effects of magnetism on living organisms are unquestionable. Even though we have not definitely substantiated the effects of magnetism on the human body, we do know that it plays a crucial role in the lives of certain animals. For example, migratory animals capable of navigating to specific destinations are thought to follow compass-like environmental cues such as the stars, the sun, skylight polarization, and magnetism.
Furthermore, field and laboratory experiments have provided evidence that sea turtles use geomagnetic cues to navigate in the open sea. For instance, green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), known for their ability to find their distant homes, were not able to do so when a strong magnet was attached to their heads.
Similarity, salmon were also recently discovered to use a biomagnetic navigation system to find their way back home across thousands of kilometers of ocean. Because they imprint on the magnetic field unique to their birth streams, the salmon use it as a geographic signature to seek out their original coastal locations upon reaching sexual maturity.
Recently, honeybees have been dying en masse around the world, shocking numerous researchers. The number of domestic honeybee hives in America reportedly decreased by a third over the past several years. The phenomenon is called colony collapse disorder. There are many potential reasons why this could be occurring, including global warming, insecticides and the appearance of new viruses. Electromagnetic radiation that results from the increased use of mobile phones and cell towers is being considered as another possible explanation. According to proponents of this position, electromagnetic radiation interferes with the honeybees’ location-tracking ability.
All life forms have electric impulses and biomagnetism, ranging from weak to strong, inside their systems. These fields can be measured in real time, or estimated at the very least, thanks to the advancing developments of science and technology. Brain World Steve Kim
As Nobel winner physiologist Walter R. Hess (1973) wrote,
Much exists and evolves in this world, which is not accessible to our comprehension, since our cerebral organization is primarily devised so that it secures survival of the individual in natural surroundings. Over and above this, modest silence is the appropriate attitude.
As Buddhist Scholar Sue Hamilton (2000) notes,
[…] if the structure of the world of experience is correlated with the cognitive process, then it is not just that we name objects, concrete and abstract, and superimpose secondary characteristics according to the senses. It is also that all the structural features of the world of experience are cognitively correlated. Space and time are not external to the structure but are part of it.
The neuroanthropologist Terrence William Deacon wrote,
“We live our lives in this shared virtual world […] The doorway into this virtual world was opened to us alone by the evolution of language.”
Author R. G. H. Siu wrote that humans deceive themselves because of their unique capacity:
Human beings are destined, as humans, to live in a world of make-believe, people with virtual presences of each other and all things existing and not existing. Neither the observer nor the observed can remain human entirely in truth and reality. Fable is the fare of the human.
