The following essay questions are worth 10 points each. Please don’t give one word answers or you won’t receive credit for that part of the question.

46) Name the 7 layers of the Rainbow Body and give a brief description of the qualities of each layer?
1. Physical body-densest layer, controlled by chakras and nadi’s
2. Etheric body – orange, temporary like the physical body, governed by the meridians, responsible for how cellular structures reproduce, a couple of inches above our skin, best treated by reiki or acupuncture 3. Astral body – yellow in spectrum, referred to sometimes as the lower mental level, transitional, non physical vehicle in which our consciousness can move and travel interdeminsionally, body we enter into dream time,
4. Mental body – green in spectrum, transitionally energy body that enables information, keeps us on purpose, sends info about our purpose to the astral body, deals with concrete thoughts, intuition, clairvoyance and clairaudience
5. Causal body- blue in spectrum, transpersonal body, function to empower the souls journey, tuned to the inner voice of spirit, transpersonal, level of the collective consciousness 6. Diamond body – indigo in spectrum, eternal in reality, known as a super mental field, understand how everything interacts and its purpose, level that God perceives him or herself
7. Celestial body – violet in the spectrum, the is the place that all the vision of the universe is originated, self and all are eternally one, where we realize that the level of God exists within us.

47) Describe the “law of similars”, its origin, and how it is used in alternative medicine?
Hippocrates wrote “By similar things a disease is produced and through the application of the like is cured.” Aristotle wrote, “Often the simile acts upon the simile.” Finally the father of Homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann said that “like cures like.” When a substance produces similar symptoms as an illness or injury and is given to a patient to heal. For example if a substance caused fever when ingested then it would be thought to cure a fever if given to a patient with a fever.

48) Explain the creation and control cycles used in Traditional Chinese Medicine? Make sure to discuss the Mother-Child law and the Grandmother-Grandson law. The creations cycles states that the five elements are generated by each other. Water generates wood, as rain nourishes a tree. Wood generates fire, burning wood creates fire. Fire generates earth in that ash becomes the soil. Earth generates metal since it is mined from the earth. Metal generates water. I read two different explanations for metal generating water. In our readings it said that metal becomes liquid when melted and on a site I found it said that water condenses on a metal surface. http://taoism.about.com/od/thefiveelements/a/Sheng-Ke-Cycles.htm The control cycle is when one element controls another and is referred to the grandmother. The element being controlled is referred to as the father. The grandmother and father elements control overactive elements and they are referred to as the child or grandson. Wood is controlled by metal, fire extinguished by water, earth penetrated by wood, metal is melted by fire and water is cut off by earth.

49) Based on the movie clip you watched of “Zeitgest” in week seven, how would you use the film’s information to support the universal truth and parallels of various religions?....
OR if you prefer, how would you use the information to support the theories that were the movie author’s original intent?
Either way, make sure to give specific examples from the movie to support your point of view.

I would personally say that the similarities of the different God’s throughout time shows that it basically comes down to one Universal truth that began with the adorning of the sun in the beginning of time.
Horus was a sun God that had an enemy Set which was darkness (this is very similar to the story of God and Satan). This is an example of good versus evil. The movie gives several examples of Gods and information about them showing the resemblance to Horus.
Horus – born on 12/25 of a virgin, there was a star in the east, adorned by three kings, was a teacher at 12, baptized at 30, he had 12 disciples that he traveled with performing miracles, he was crucified, buried and rose after the 3rd day. He was also known by many other names such as The Light, Lamb of God, Shepherd, God’s Anointed Son, and many others. Other God’s that are mentioned with the same attributes are Attis from Greece 1200 BC, Krishna of India in 900 BC, Dionysus from Greece 500 BC, Mithra of Persia 1200 BC, and goes on to list many more with Jesus being the most recent.
So the question is why do all of these people that are thought of as God’s chosen have similar attributes? The birth sequence is astrological. The star in the east is the brightest star in the sky, Sirius. On December 24th it aligns with other bright stars in Orion’s belt which are referred to as Three Kings. These four stars all point to the sunrise on December 25th. This is why the three kings follow the star in the east to locate the sunrise or the birth of the sun. Virgin Mary is the constellation Virgo. Virgo also represents the House of Bread and refers to a time in August and September. Bethlehem actually translates to House of Bread. During the three days where the sun has perceivably stopped moving it is located directly under the Southern Cross in the sky. On December 25th the sun moves one degree north or is resurrected.

50) In the video about “The Shadow Effect,” each author had their own definition of the shadow and the soul. Can you give a couple examples of how the authors explain what the shadow is and the benefits of embracing it? Marianne Williamson states that the shadow is like a wound. We are all wounded and here to be healed. Deepak Chopra explains it by stating that all things are because of contrast. Good and evil, hot and cold, etc. Therefore the shadow is the opposite of being in unity with universal consciousness. It is mentioned that our “secrets” are our shadows as well.

51) (worth 15 points)

a. How would you explain what Energy Anatomy is to someone who isn’t familiar with alternative medicine, quantum physics, and the new age movement? I am the type of person that really likes to keep things as simple as possible. Therefore I would simply describe Energy Anatomy as having to do with the energy in our body and around our body and how it is affected by certain things. It also has to do with how energy is created within the body and how it flows through the body as well.

b. What support to show the validity of Subtle Energy would you give?
I think that I would explain that just because you cannot see it or it cannot be measured yet does not mean that it does not exist. I would then use different examples such as the water crystals in Dr. Emoto’s experiment and how our aura is energy.

c. How would you explain the benefits of complimentary/alternative medicine? And again, how would you show its validity? For me, the validity of alternative medicine is in how long it has been used. Since it has been used for hundreds of years and is gaining popularity in the western world still today means something. The benefit of alternative medicine is that it heals a person without harmful substances or practices unlike allopathic medicine. Alternative medicine relies on natural substances and the energy of the body versus chemicals and invasive practices.

Form and Function in Biology

...Form and Function The relationship between Form and Function is central to the study of biology. George Cuvier, the ‘father of comparative anatomy’ laid out in his theory of ‘the correlation of parts’ that similarly appearing anatomical structures should have similar functions and this similarity should be used to group or diagnose organisms and their structures (1). Further exploration of four examples in this paper will more clearly show that the function of any ‘thing’ is related directly to the form of its construction. To exemplify this connection between form and function let’s look at the construction of the largest organ of the body, specifically the layers of tissues found in the Skin or Integumentary System, as it’s known in scientific terminology. Constructed of two major layers (Epidermis and Dermis) the skin contains several types of epithelial and connective tissues. From a very cursory examination it’s clear that the skin is a durable, flexible and strong substance. Go a bit deeper and examine these layers for a more in depth evaluation of their form and the layers of the Epidermis and Dermis clearly declare their function from their form. The Dermis, constructed of a layer of connective tissue in the Reticular Layer, underneath the Papillary layer filled with capillary networks of blood vessels feeding the Epidermis up above. The Epidermis then is comprised of multiple layers of cells comprising four or five layers made up of Stratified Squamous Epithelial...

These three men are always mentioned when the subject of who are the Great Greek men of the past who made a significant impact on the world. Hippocrates is another great Greek genius who made a significant impact not on Philosophy but on the field of Medicine. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the History of Medicine. He is referred to as the “Father of Medicine” because of his endless contributions to the medical field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. He created a school which revolutionized medicine in Greece because this school would eventually establish medicine as a separate profession. He changed the perception of Greek medicine with his revolutionary vision that disease was not caused by gods or spirits but was the result of natural action. The life of Hippocrates will be discussed in further detail such as his early childhood & life, his work, and his contributions/accomplishments to the World until his death. Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician, who is also called the "Father of Medicine". He was born on the Aegean island of Cos which is near the island of Greece called Halicarnassus during the Classical Greece era towards the end of the fifth century B.C.E, around 460 BC. Ancient Greek history also believed that he was related to Hercules through his...

Reflection on Intro to Physiology/Anatomy

...We started with the introduction to anatomy by defining it as the scientific discipline that investigates the structure of the body. I have discovered that there are two basic approaches to the study of anatomy are systematic (by system) and regional (by area), the latter which is more commonly used in most medical schools. And of course studying the structure is not enough, this is where physiology comes in which is the scientific discipline that deals with the processes or functions of living things. I have known homeostasis as the maintenance of the relatively constant environment in the body but it is only now that I have learned about positive and negative feedback mechanisms which maintain homeostasis and that positive homeostasis can be detrimental at times. I’ve also learned more on the anatomical terms that will be used throughout our course and maybe even in med school. In the study of cells, I was able to recall the things we have discussed in our biological science course in the previous year. I remember the three types of solution namely hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. I also come to know more about the different movements across the cell membrane. However I was new to the transcription and translation that happens in the gene expression of a cell. I was able to associate codons of the mRNA strand with the anticodon of the tRNA. Similar to cytology, I was also able to look back on our discussions about tissues last year. I have refreshed myself on the...

...assisting with the body’s voluntary movement and the sending of signals throughout the body that allow these functions to occur. The Cell The main function of the cell includes both transporting different materials used throughout the body. Cells are used in conjunction with every bodily organ and system, carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide for respiration, proteins and energy for the digestive system and making up the different tissues used to help function the body. These tissues are made up of a group of cells working together with the same function. Example of these tissues include muscular and nervous tissues, used to help the body move and send signals throughout the body respectively. As cells are used throughout the body and in every system, some cells are specialised to do certain things that other cells cannot. Most cells in the body have the same design, consisting of a nucleus, membrane and mitochondria to perform different functions within the cell. The nucleus of a cell controls its growth and reproduction, as well as holding a cells hereditary information. The mitochondria is what creates energy for the cell to use and the cell membrane is what controls what enters and exits a cell. Cells has other organelles, most of which are designed for specific functions. Tissues Cells are found all over the body, forming tissues which work to complete a function. These tissues can have many different roles depending on what cells make them up. An example of this would be...

The interests of our earliest ancestors most likely concerned injuries and illness because healthy bodies demand little attention from their owners. B. Primitive people certainly suffered from occasional aches and pains, injuries, bleeding, broken bones, and diseases. C. Before agriculture, infectious diseases did not spread easily because isolated bands of people had little contact with each other. D. With agriculture, humans became susceptible to worm diseases because excrement was used in fertilizers and less reliance was placed on wild plants that offered their protective substances. E. With urbanization, humans became more susceptible to infectious diseases and malnutrition. F. Tooth decay was lowest among hunter-gathers and highest among city residents. G. Preserved bones from children can reflect malnutrition because when a child starves or suffers from severe infection, the ends of the bones stop growing. When health returns, growth resumes, but leaves behind areas of dense bone. H. At first healers had to rely on superstitions and notions about magic. I.

Evolution of Artifacts

...The relationship between evolution and systems can be thought of as an endless cycle, with both factors continuously influencing each other. A General Theory of the Evolution of Artifacts discusses how evolution decides the properties of a system - the structure and function. In return, the system’s existence is then a factor in ruling the course of evolution. Generally, the change in size of a system requires a change in the components of the system’s structure or form. A system cannot adequately support its size without a change in its shape. A change in form can be brought upon by a change in scale of artifacts. Changing the artifacts, thus the form, then necessitates a change in the material being used in its structure. A change in material characteristics is needed especially for larger machines which require higher strength to weight ratios in comparison to smaller machines. A change in the size, artifacts, or materials of a system results in a complication of the overall structure, resulting in higher complexity. All of these processes will eventually lead to functional inconsistencies, thus creating limits to growth. Although these processes are what make evolution possible, they also cause the destruction of future evolution. In relation to technology, as the scale is constantly being changed, a point is reached where the rising costs of manufacturing and operating limit further advancements in capability. Development is eventually limited because the production costs...

Medical School Rec

...Dear American Medical College Application Service: It is a true pleasure for me to write this letter of recommendation for Meredith Green as part of her application to medical school. I have had the privilege of knowing Meredith for the past 18 years. We have spent numerous holidays together, shared many life cycle events, and above all, she has been a wonderful role model to my own five children. One of the most outstanding traits that I have always noticed in Meredith is that she has always demonstrated a great deal empathy and generosity toward other people. When she was a young teen, she was constantly involved in our synagogue youth group, raising funds for family shelters, local community food bands, and countless other needy organizations. As Meredith has matured, she has continued her involvement in community service while volunteering at the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Good Samaritan Hospital. Meredith recently shared one of her dreams regarding becoming a doctor with me; she told me how she wants to someday create a theater/drama camp for children battling cancer. Her eyes lit up with enthusiasm and determination while thinking of the never ending possibilities of such a program. In my opinion, it takes a very special person to have the wisdom and foresight to envision using her skills in such a beneficial manner. I believe Meredith’s reflective nature, undaunted determination, and above all else, her clear dedication to helping others makes her a...
