Haha Emmanuel, not so easy. _If_ we accept modern science's view of DNA as blueprint, then we must accept a certain similarity which verges on the proverbial 99.9% figure. Furthermore, I just feel that the differences between people really are cosmetic and minor, and that the core is not " identical " but " one " .

Too much similarity: we both express our opinions- our particular angle on our shared oneness, we do it through dialogue, we both disagree with each other, we both agree with each other, we _both_ learn from ourselves and each other... same same same same. All the fundamental processes are identical - the spice of life, the frosting on the cake, are our actual and perceived differences. That's my view anyway. Thanks, Bye!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hi Hugo, As it turns out one of my graduate degrees is in genetics. It is extremely hard to find a match between people for transplant surgery. The major histocompatibility complex protein proves that except for your " clone " , you are far from identical from all other humans. It would be far easier to share similar ideas than similar biologies. More recently there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that behavior strong effects genetic activity and predisposition. Thus the synthesis of daytime or nighttime hormones or the synthesis and activities of protein enzymes are affected by behavior, emotion and food selections. An easy way to see that we are so different from one another biologically is that we are " assemblages " of a single sort of cell from which we arise. Many billions of cells derived from a single, and then organized into numerous ecologies into a human organism. Thus, even your biological clone would soon be different from you within a short period of time. I've observed that CM can diagnose the experience as well as biology of the human organism. One master of pulses asked me a few years ago about what I gotten caught in my throat at around 4 years of age. He felt a particularly traumatic event in my pulse and determined the age and location. Quite an amazing bit of detection. There is a range of commonality and individuality, and both must be addressed in the clinical setting. A good artist and a good physician, IMHO, have one wonderful, common gift: the ability not to be distracted by " recognition " . In other words, it's hard to see clearly and accurately in each moment. The other difficulty, perhaps greater difficulty than diagnosis, is patient management. A famous master once said, " The body is nothing but a habit. " How will your help your patients with their habits? No matter how similar their biologies ....

I am simply talking about whether we have fundamental sameness or fundamental un-sameness, not about the obvious differences apparent between us. I don't agree. Bye!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hi Emmanuel - I'm really sorry to bother you, but I'm a little frustrated. It's probably my 'fault' for not writing clearly enough...but I do feel that you're not even minimally dealing with my questions and points... and I think that your jargon only clouds the issues. Even if the issue is not clouded for most, I'm left feeling 'empty', like I've had everything snatched from me and still have no better understanding. haha, for example, what is this??? > histocompatibility complex protein proves that If you mean to say that the above reliably allows you to discern compatibility or not, then I'd have to state that that is due to similarity. It is only because of the fundamental laws that these proteins are bound by that you can make any sense at all of what they are doing! i.e., fundamentally similar. You can rely on them to behave in the same way all (most) of the time. Repeatability, reproducibility -> due to similarity. Anyway, I hope you will deal with my point this time, because otherwise I can't understand or learn from you, and I /am/ interested in your posts, Emmanuel. I know you could quickly outstrip me in the details, but you've said nothing new to me in your post below (I realise that it is very basic), and you don't seem to deal with the one point I am making. I just thought of a new way to put it: Just because you find it too complicated, don't think that that is proof of a real dissimilarity. Anyway, hope you can help me understand what you are trying to say. And if you can't, know that I have read your post carefully several times and that I learned something from the way you expressed the details. Somehow, I think that the major problem is a misunderstanding of one another's terms... Thanks, and my apologies, Hugo --- Emmanuel Segmen <susegmen wrote: __________ Messenger - Communicate instantly... " Ping " your friends today!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Sorry everyone,that was meant for Emmanuel personally. I don't know how to use my " reply to sender " function apparently. Again, Sorry.
