2.6. The energy balance in our Life

…and the Destructive energy

It is the energy balance that "gives birth" to life in Nature. The Life of our Planet is born and exists Due to the balanced interaction between the two energy currents Yin and Yang.

The life energy in Nature does not tolerate stagnation or waste.

If we take our body as an example, we will find no healthy cell develops or collects energy for itself, or at the expense of the others. The energy in our body is distributed according to strictly defined principles and laws necessary to maintain the balance of life. (p.25,45,85,94,162,192)

For example, the brain expends the most energy because it manages and controls the most life processes, in addition to performing the mental and intellectual activity of the individual. Brain cells are followed by the heart, muscles, musculoskeletal system, digestive and excretory systems, which also expend a certain amount of energy for their physiological functions. Every cell in our body draws just as much energy as it needs, and just as much energy is supplied in a timely manner. In the absence of energy for basic vital functions, cells tend to give up their energy. In order to maintain the balance of the whole organism, the cells timely produce a "currency" through which they exchange the substances they need. "Energy currency" cannot be stored in reserve and is always a product of cellular exchange. (p.47-48,55,108,190)

For example, in the accumulation of excess nutrients, due to abundant food intake, nutrient energy accumulates in the form of "stocks" - fat in fat cells, which, however, are not always so "generous" to give away their energy, so slow down the metabolism and circulation of vital energy in the body. Slow metabolism, in turn, impedes the normal flow of our Physical, Emotional, Mental and Conscious energies, which also leads to its negative and sometimes destructive consequences. Our body is a perfectly organized organism that uses energy in the most rational and balanced way possible. Of course, until our selfish nature manifests itself. (p.31,43-46,85,148,160)

Often, the dissatisfaction we experience as a result of our inaction or reckless action makes us perceive and define the things of life in their conflicting projection, such as: "black and white", "good and bad", "hell and heaven", "beautiful and ugly”, “poor and rich”,“friends and enemies”, etc. In this sense, different social groups in society tend to "polarize" around these concepts, defining themselves as naturally formed, and even "vital" social strata. (p.159)

Of course, if there were no Polarity in the interaction of the Earth's Poles, the Earth would not be able to perform its vital rotation. But if the earth's poles manifested their forces of interaction so unbalanced and irregular, or through the destructive conflict inherent in certain manifestations of human nature, it would be difficult to provide the necessary balance and equilibrium for life.

For thousands of years, man has sought to find manifestations of life in the universe as we know it here on Earth, and there is still no conclusive evidence of this. Some ancient finds and legends suggest the existence of life in the distant past on planets such as Mars and Venus, but also hint at the destruction of life there, due to the destructive use of force. (p.93)

Human history on Earth has also witnessed a thousand-year series of large-scale, destructive manifestations of the unbalanced and destructive energies of the human mind, psyche and emotions. (p.37,114,146,192)

Today, a number of scientific fields are trying to find patterns in the course of the Earth's natural disasters in order to predict possible threats to life on Earth, developing systems for their prediction. In addition, modern society is facing a number of social, environmental, economic, and even mental and spiritual crises, accompanied by a series of unforeseen and catastrophic natural disasters, global warming and unpredictable abrupt climate change. The idealistic appeals for freedom, peace, equality, environmental protection, charity, religious tolerance, etc., made by a number of leading world organizations and governments, proved to be extremely ineffective, insufficient and even inadequate, and ultimately further nurture the conflicting perceptions of world society. (p.86,160)

Every day we fight against events, situations and people that we do not like, without realizing that they are just a manifestation of the life energy that balances our lives. If Yang energy "decides" to neutralize or destroy Yin energy in Nature, then life on Earth would not exist. Nature does not tolerate and does not allow the manifestation of such destructive interaction. Seeing, fighting and coming into conflict with the world around us, and from there with ourselves, we do not realize and do not notice how we unlock and release the Destructive Energy around. (p.20,27,93)

It is the human nature that tries to turn events in favor of the wishes of the Еgo and so mindlessly reverse the flow of Life energy in a destructive direction. Once unlocked in our minds or bodies, the "whirlwind" of Destructive Energy can hardly be controlled and directed in the constructive direction. (p.37-38,57-58,59,192) Table- end of Part II

Serving entirely to the Supreme Law, the Destructive Energy we tend to activate includes the "countdown mechanism" hidden in our biological clock.

We are accustomed to dealing primarily with our five senses, and we believe that what is not seen does not exist, or is some hidden danger to us.

In pursuit of the desired satisfaction, we often play "ezi or tura". Dissatisfied with the draw, we fail to notice that this is our chance. In anger, we throw the coin into the abyss, where we then do not dare to go down to get our luck back. It is difficult to realize that what we are fighting against continues to exist because of our stubborn opposition, instead of enduring patiently until we generate the potential to express ourselves. (p.25,36,37,58,59,85-87,146,148,160,192)

There is a tremendous potential of energy in our body that we do not even suspect, but it can be extremely destructive and detrimental to our lives when guided by our unconscious decisions and actions.

Our body is a unique generator and transformer of energy. Millions of chemical chain reactions take place in our bodies every second, synthesizing and delivering vital energy to every cell. Along the path of the energy exchange, our bodies control explosive and catastrophic reactions, such as those of hydrogen oxidation, flammability of methane, or liquefaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide; also neutralize a number of toxic substances that are excreted every minute into the inter-cellular fluids. (p.33,43)

 Ammonia (NH₃), which is formed during protein metabolism, in addition to being toxic, has the property at high pressure to liquefy and evaporate into the atmosphere, absorbing a huge amount of heat. In this way it cools the environment.

Methane (CH₄) is formed by the fermentation of food during stagnation and indigestion, and has the property to ignite at concentrations between 5-17%, releasing a huge amount of heat. Methane can burn on our wet palms without hurting us at all!

Hydrogen (H₂) - the main molecule involved in all cellular reactions in our body, when oxidized in a laboratory environment is highly explosive.

All three elements play an important role in the energy and alkaline-acid balance in our body, but they become dangerous for our health and for the environment in conditions of stagnation of Yang energy in the liver. The likely results of the physicochemical reactions of the mental imbalance of today's world population would surprise us with the fact that Carbon dioxide (CO₂) - easily forming dry ice and a product not only of bodies but also of our deeds, instead of global warming, would cause the Ice Age. (p.12,14,17,24,27,33,34,45,52,73-74,97,101,104,112,128,132,137,141,144,191)

 

In his book “The Art of Aromatherapy”, Robert Tisserand mentions: "... a negative person is capable of poisoning at least 1,000 people around him ..."

 

Imagine how many economic, social, environmental, psychological and health crises the world's population could overcome if at least one person in 1,000 sends the following powerful, pure and focused heart thoughts to himself and the world every day:

"I will keep the Balance of my Soul. I will keep the Balance

  of my Life, of the Good in me and in Everyone around me. ”

 

Are we aware of the power and the scale of the destructive energy that emotions can release not only in our bodies but also in the environment? (p. 57-59)

Part I chapter 6: Impaired Metabolism - The secret trigger of almost all diseases.

pages 43-48

     AlchemY of Аpogee [ Part I: Quality of Life ]

" The physical body is connected with all the matter ... - through the body we enter the visible Nature in order to use it. No one should come into conflict with his body,whatever it is.", Peter Deunov

 

hapter 6:          Impaired Metabolism

The secret trigger of almost all diseases.

 

Metabolism is a vital exchange, synthesis and transformation of nutrients, information and energy, through which life flows and takes place in matter and in our bodies. This exchange of life manages and maintains almost all physiological functions and processes: digestion, respiration, excretion, detoxification, growth, circulation, movement, regeneration, reproduction, interaction with the environment, etc., through bio-transformation, energy synthesis, transport and cell exchange. (p.13-17,42)

In short, the metabolism in our bodies converts food into energy. (p.18,42,96)

Quality of life, health and metabolism depend on the qualitative exchange of substances and energy between the cells of our body. The nutrients and biomolecules involved in cellular metabolism perform various functions and applications:

 • nutritious elements: provide the necessary energy for vital functions, mainly supplied by carbohydrates (sugars) and lipids (fats); (p.121,131,158,166,168)

 • functional: performing an important transport-communicating role in cellular metabolism and participating in the realization of life processes (proteins: transport, muscle, immune, etc.; including enzymes: controlling metabolism and synthesizing various necessary metabolites; coenzymes; minerals: electrolytes, vitamins and antioxidants, hormones: signaling biomolecules); (p.34,39,52,62,73,83,85,90,92,104,110,115,135,168)

 • structural elements - the main building blocks of which the body is composed: water - about 60%; proteins - about 15%; lipids (fats) - about 12%; mineral salts - about 4%; carbohydrates - about 1%; nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) - about 0.14%; (p.22,51,95,169)

 

AlchemY of Health       [ Part I: Quality of Life] Chapter 6: Impaired Metabolism         43

 

• waste products (unnecessary metabolites, free radicals, xenobiotics – foreign /poisonous / toxic substances), which play an important role in cleansing the cells and the whole organism. (p.52-54,61,111,127,143)

Fig..6: Main participants in cellular metabolism

In practice, the "Metabolic Puzzle" consists of a series of complex tasks and processes that each cell in the body has to solve and manage, at every single moment of the day, following the precise instructions set in its DNA. Each cell has the property not only to self-control, but also to support the functions of neighboring and other cells, according to its specifics and role. Metabolism and life processes in the human body, by nature, are designed to be managed in perfect sequence, naturally and unhindered. These properties are embedded in our genes. (p.15,22,29,85)

Metabolism, i.e. the cellular exchange, also maintains the vital balance in the body, under the external influence of various environmental factors: the change of day and night, seasonal climate change, cold, heat, ultraviolet radiation, physical and mental stress during daily activities and so on (p.21,25,32,39,64-65,86,94)

 

The energy that drives metabolic processes

Metabolism, which practically sustains life in our body, is carried out through two main, opposite, but mutually supportive processes: (p.20,22,29, 60,70)

 • Catabolic processes, which supply the necessary energy for cellular metabolism - produce ATP (Adenosine-Tri-Phosphate) - the so-called. "Cellular energy currency" and the vital glucose, for which purpose they break down the main nutrients by oxidation, with the help of inhaled oxygen. Catabolic processes also support the work of the nervous system and muscles. Catabolic processes  correspond to the force of action of Yang energy in our body. (p.20,24,35,42.51,102,108,125,132,139)

 • Anabolic processes are necessary for vital body functions such as growth, regeneration, maintenance of tissues and muscle mass, genetic synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, but also for the storage of energy reserves in the form of fat. Anabolic processes consume a large amount of energy, delivered through catabolic processes, but also release a large amount of hydrogen, which later serves for resynthesis of the "cellular energy currency". Anabolic processes maintain the strength of the potential Yin energy in the body. (p.29,31,35,40,42,45,95,106,121,135,169)

 AlchemY of Health       [ Part I: Quality of Life] Chapter 6: Impaired Metabolism         44

 

The energy provided by the interaction of inhaled oxygen with the hydrogen released by the cells is the main engine of metabolism. As mentioned, such an "interaction" in external or laboratory conditions can cause an explosion of a large scale. In our body, this cannot happen due to the complex conversion of this process, which actually oxidizes hydrogen from nutrients to water and releases excess carbon dioxide. A major role in this regard is played by the synthesized "cellular energy currency", which, in addition to being vital for cellular exchange, also plays the role of a kind of buffer, engaging the explosive energy of hydrogen for beneficial purposes, including elimination of toxic metabolites, such as ammonium. In contrast to carbohydrates and other nutrients, which if are in excess have the property of being stored in the form of glucose and fats for further energy  needs, the "cellular energy currency" - ATP, can not be stored. It can only be used to exercise cell activity and in case of excess is released as heat, which is also needed for our body, as well as for the ongoing metabolic reactions. (p. 20,21,29,31,33,39,40,42,71,73-74,76,78,129,132,162)

 

It is here that we can find the reason why we often say that "the atmosphere is hot or explosive" when we are in a situation of strained relationships, or within the surrounding of an angry person.

 

For example, cortisol, which we called "stress hormone" and can also manifest as "anger hormone", is responsible for intense catabolic processes, ie. for the breakdown of stored fat and glucose under stress. For this purpose, cortisol does not always require the intervention of oxygen, which in turn potentiates the acidification of body fluids due to the generated excess of hydrogen molecules. Not coincidentally, as a result of overeating, after a late dinner or alcohol intake, but also after sleepless night, we become angry. Such situations, in turn, catalyze the anabolic processes in our body, which also release excess hydrogen molecules in our blood and increase the heat in our body. This leads to stagnation of excess Yang energy in our Liver and slows down the metabolic and detoxifying processes controlled by this organ. Due to the generated excess heat and unused energy, we become nervous, restless, irritable and angry, thus activating cortisol. This hormone can help us restore balance in a short time, but it can also quickly push us to the next unreasonable step, such as eating something sweet at the most inappropriate and unhealthy moment for our body.

It is clear that saving and accumulating energy, but also its excessive waste, not only slow down the metabolism, but also potentiate our inflammable emotions. (p.12,25,27,33-35,39,47-48,54-55,58,71,79,90)

  

 Metabolic rate

 The metabolism of proteins, sugars and fats is determined by the specific chemical processes of protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. The rate of ongoing biochemical reactions in cells can define the metabolism as accelerated, normal or slow, depending on the amount of energy consumed, calculated in calories.

 

AlchemY of Health       [ Part I: Quality of Life] Chapter 6: Impaired Metabolism         45

 

 

For example, intense exercise can speed up metabolism, increasing the blood flow, and stimulating the catabolic processes for the supply cellular energy. But similar to overeating, it can also slow down the metabolism for a while (2-7 days) by potentiating the anabolic resynthesis for muscle regeneration and by burdening the cells with neutralizing the waste metabolites (such as ammonia and lactic acid) from intensive muscle work. In this regard, regular, but not strenuous, exercise can be extremely helpful in maintaining a good metabolism. Over time, cellular metabolism can be affected by external influences, or by an unbalanced systemic change in lifestyle. This can slow down cell cleansing, and hence the body's natural detoxification. Such processes can be caused by genes, heredity, aging, deterioration in immunity, but also by impaired hormonal effects. A metabolic dysfunction (delayed metabolism) at the cellular level can often be perceived as a signal for a mental, physical or emotional malaise and, in the case of systemic manifestations, lead to a more noticeable health disorder or disease. (p.27,33,39,47-48,49,52,57-58,60,61,66,78,85,143,165) 

A good metabolism is a balance between food and fluids intake, nutrients produced and absorbed, energy produced and used, and waste products released - unnecessary fluids and metabolites. The excretory system is controlled by the liver, kidneys, spleen and lungs, with a particularly important role played by the thyroid gland, lymphatic system, sweat glands, bladder and colon.

When the spleen stimulates excretion, the liver is ready to uptake, transform and supply nutrients and energy. (p.25,121-123,131,163)

And when the colon is emptied, the mind clears and the lungs begin to efficiently supply the cells with oxygen. (p.139-144,162)

 

Physical and mental conditions such as lymph stagnation, cellulite, weight gain, emotional, digestive and hormonal disorders are signals of a metabolic disorder. Metabolic impairment can have various causes: sedentary lifestyle, excessive exercise, poor diet, excessive consumption of alcohol and medication, overeating, inadequate water intake, stress, and even over-emotionality and depression. An impairment of the metabolism can be due to an energy imbalance in some organs or organ systems: blood flow, cardiovascular activity, endocrine glands, energy stagnation in the liver and spleen, digestive disorders, kidney function. The most common symptoms of a metabolic disorder can be: flatulence, swelling in the limbs, tiredness and exhaustion, lack of tone and mood, chronic headache, gastrointestinal disorders, constipation. All of these unpleasant conditions and symptoms "speak" of toxicity in the body, which depletes minerals, vitamins and antioxidants in the blood and significantly reduces the natural functions of the cells for nutrition and self-cleaning. Metabolic syndrome, which potentiates persistent hunger, for example, is a condition of acute cellular malnutrition due to chronic genotoxic stress.. (p.35,47,49,51,55,63,88,127)

 When we talk about metabolism, we often refer to our physical condition, without realizing that the metabolism in our body takes place simultaneously on a physical, mental and spiritual level. For example, the metabolic stagnation in our body indicates impaired energy exchange in the energy meridians and their governing Yin and Yang organs, or even activated destructive energy.Metabolic imbalance usually occurs when energy blockage occurs in the Yang organs. TCM takes as a basis of all diseases the "pentagram" of the destructive energy exchange in the five major Yin-organs of our body. (Table 2, p. 20) If we look closely at the pentagram of destructive energy in Fig. 3 p. 20 and Fig. 7 below, it will become clear that it is most often activated by stagnation in the Colon. When the Yang energy of the colon is stagnant, toxic bile begins to circulate in the body (p.104,108-112,140-144), causing stagnation of Yang energy in the reservoir of Yin energy - the liver. In Table 2 on page 20, this destructive process is symbolized by "the property of the element Metal (colon) to cut the Tree (liver)". Stagnation of bile acids in the colon has the potential not only to change the circadian rhythm and chemical composition of essential bile juices produced in the liver, but also those secreted by the gallbladder in the stomach after eating, and secondary bile acids synthesized by the intestine flora. This is one of the reasons for the increased acidity of the circulating fluids in the meridian of the bladder, which in turn potentiates the depletion of vital minerals, vitamins and trace elements in the small intestine and disrupts the epithelial layer and cell walls of blood vessels (varicose veins, hemorrhoids, etc. )  .When the vital elements in our body are primarily involved in maintaining the alkaline-acid balance and neutralizing free radicals, the balance in the intestinal flora is disturbed, and hence the indigestion and malnutrition of cells and organs, excessive production of lactic acid and putrefaction of food in the colon, storage of fat in the abdomen, thighs and lymph, increased toxemia (contamination) and weakened immunity. (p.49,51,52,55,61,79,86) Today, more and more scientific and medical researches find out that the main cause of metabolic syndrome, overweight, chronic and malignant diseases lies in the impaired metabolism of bile acids.

In some religions and socio-political organizations beliefs, the pentagram is considered as the most stable symbol of protection in the earthly existence of human being. This suggests that the "pentagram of destructive energy" once set in motion in our bodies can hardly be neutralized. (p.20,29,31,33,57)

If we look at metabolism in our mental level through the “heptagram of the Seven Forces”, we will be able to find the effect of these relationships on our physical manifestation in the Yin-Yang hexagram, and to neutralize the "pentagram of destructive energy."  (p.42,51,59,93,98,99)

 

Fig.7: Energy regulators of metabolism

 

Often the Ego seeks to reap the fruits of the Spirit by cutting down the Tree of our Soul's sacret desires, which according to TCM are stored and kept in the Liver.

If, instead to ignit passions, we melt the element of Metal in the Fire of Love, compassion will immerse us in the deeper Water of Consciousness, in which to cool the ambitions of the Ego - the only culprit for the diseases and sufferings in our earthly existence. ( p.104,111,117,133,137)

The good metabolism needs purity of mind and body, cordiality and cheerful mood, oxygen, rest and movement, some fresh food and fresh water.
