The Doldrums, Christ and the Plantanism

By Rogelio Garcia Barcala

Meiosis, mitosis, the equator? Is the human body a direct replica of the earth? The Doldrums, Christ, and the Plantanism, Rogelio Garcia Barcala's follow up to We are Carrying a Tree Right in Front of our Face, digs deeper into the interrelation of all life in the universe, specifically here on earth . . .

Are human kidneys nothing but seeds in the tree that is our body? Is the equator the magnetic seed (or catalyst) of life on earth? Barcala's use of deconstruction builds a formidable hypothesis. Using basic biology to support his ideas, Rogelio Garcia Barcala challenges the "old school" of creation theories. Welcome to philosophy of the new millennium.

It was just growth . . . .

And they call it Christ.

It was just a little group of houses in the middle of the grove . . . .

And they call it city, civilization, and religion.

This is how Christianity began in the plains of Mesopotamia.

CHAPTER I

A FEW BIOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS

The sensitivity of the leaf for sunlight.

The sunflower is always facing the Sun.

The chloroplasts are the eyes of the plant.

Sunlight is important for the semicircular canals of our ears, for our posture, and direction.

To breathe is a fermentation.

The chemicals forming the leaves of a tree are similar to those forming the seeds, because the seed of a tree is just a leaf. These chemicals are fatty acids, phosphorus, sugar, nucleic acids, DNA, etc.

*    *    *

Seeds are highly sensitive to sunlight. We can see this, and quite clearly, through the sunflower which contains a lot of seeds, and these seeds are always facing the Sun. Some seeds are more sensitive to sunlight than others, but all of them are highly sensitive.

*    *    *

As I recently stated on the pages of my book We Are Carrying a Tree… , our brain is a Seed. And so our brain needs a lot of sunlight. And this explains why we have a pair of eyes right in front of our face. The light absorbed by our eyes is sent immediately to the brain, to the cerebellum, and from the cerebellum is distributed all around the body, and especially to the semicircular canals of our ears, and thanks to these canals we are aware of the direction our body has to take on the surface of the Earth. Without this sunlight that our semicircular canals receive from the eyes, and then from the cerebellum, we would have a hard time moving around. This light also provides us with the calcium we need for the formation of our bones, our skeleton, and to supply the parathyroid gland, and even the thyroid gland, which work closely together, and without this pair of glands we would have a great difficulty breathing.

*    *    *

The function of the semicircular canals is above all to fix the position of our body with respect to gravity. There are hair cells in the interior of these three canals, and, attached to them, there are some sort of stones of calcium carbonate, and these rocks are acted upon by both gravity and directions.

*    *    *

I have to say that a similar role is played by the leaves of a tree. These leaves also hold the tree in a vertical position. The reason why these leaves keep the tree perpendicular to the surface of the Earth is that leaves contain a lot of gases, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor and nitrogen. Leaves contain all the gases existing in the atmosphere. These gases are the ones forcing the tree to keep a vertical position.

*    *    *

Of course, the atmospheric gases help a lot, but the main reason why the tree keeps its vertical position is that the leaves receive a great amount of sunlight. Leaves have no eyes, at least as far as I know, but they don’t need eyes, they contain a huge amount of chloroplasts, and this is enough. These chloroplasts are the ones absorbing sunlight, and so they are the eyes of the plant kingdom. Curiously enough, the eyes of an animal also contain chloroplasts quite similar to those of leaves, these are the rods, and cones. The chloroplasts of the leaves, and the rods, and cones of our eyes are formed mostly of glucose, and, apparently, this glucose is what absorbs sunlight, this glucose, for sure, in combination with calcium. Surprisingly enough, vitamin D has a lot to do with the formation of calcium, the calcium of the bones, and the calcium carbonate of our eye lenses, and evidently, with the calcium of the hair cells of the semicircular canals of the ears, and this vitamin is formed by sunlight, the sunlight our skin absorbs.

*    *    *

We, as humans and animals, also have four leaves, our hands and feet. These are either leaves or flowers. There is not much difference between leaves and flowers, the materials they contain are quite similar, for are the leaves the ones forming the flowers, and vice versa, are the flowers forming the leaves. Flowers or leaves, the case is that we are held up in the air by them, and by nothing else. If leaves absorb a lot of sunlight, without any doubt our hands and feet also do the same thing, and if this sunlight absorbed by leaves keep the tree suspended high in the air, our hands and feet do the same thing with us. Leaves accumulate a lot of energy through the sunlight they absorb together with the carbon dioxide and the water they also absorb, thus forming sugar. Apparently, our hands and feet also accumulate a huge amount of energy, if not directly from sunlight, at least from the rest of the body. This great amount of energy is what keeps us suspended high in the air, and what moves us around from place to place.

*    *    *

Leaves receive sunlight directly from the Sun. Our hands and feet, in order to accumulate such an amount of energy to transport us from place to place, and to maintain us high in the air, they have to get a lot of sunlight, too. This light only can come through our eyes.

*    *    *

Our hands and feet are part of our limbs.

Our arms, and legs are moved by muscles. In particular, between the humerus and the pair radius-ulna, and between the femur and the pair tibia-fibula there are balls of calcium carbonate. This calcium carbonate is exactly the same contained in the eye lense, and in the air cells of the semicircular canals of the ears. This calcium carbonate functions exactly the same as the one of the eye lense, as the one of the chloroplasts of the leaves, and as the ones of the rods and cones of the eyes, and, consequently, these balls also receive a great amount of sunlight. Two chemicals particularly involved here are calcium and potassium. These chemicals are also involved in every synapse of the axons of the nervous system. Well, this pair calcium-potassium are the ones expanding and contracting the muscles, and the light coming from the eyes and then proceeding to the cerebellum, has a lot to do with the work done by the two bases, or metals, which provide the electrons stolen by oxygen and by the iodine of the thyroid gland, which generate the current, the electricity, moving arms and legs. The calcium is furnished by the endoplasmic reticulum of the cells, and by the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid gets this calcium from the bones, and also from vitamin D, which is also synthesized by sunlight.

Muscles are striated, that is, highly convoluted, something having to do with the nature of proteins. These striations are like threads, like screws, and let the muscles stretch and contract. This stretching and contracting is due to mitochondria. There is a great deal of mitochondria here. These mitochondria not only expand and contract the muscles but also do the same work around the lungs, and around the microtubules of the kidneys. They even allow the spermatozoa to travel in pursuit of the ovule of the female. These mitochondria generate substantial quantities of energy, they are like the Edison Company of Los Angeles, or even like one of those atomic plants we have here in the United States and elsewhere. These mitochondria are the power houses of muscles, lungs, hands, feet, etc. They generate their energy by oxidizing glucose after the glucose being activated by phosphorus, which acts as a simple match, exactly like those matches used to launch a firecracker to the air the 4th of July. Mitochondria work like a bellows. So we breathe thanks to mitochondria. Well, when muscles expand and contract this is a breathing. Muscles breathe, that is, mitochondria are some sort of ferment, or enzyme, some kind of fungus that in the presence of glucose releases alcohol and carbon dioxide. This is what respiration is, glucose burned by oxygen, producing water and carbon dioxide. So muscles, for sure, release lots of water and carbon dioxide. That is why when we work hard we sweat.

*    *    *

This is what happens, muscles breathe because our brain also breathes, since brain comes from brew, or ferment. To breathe is just a fermentation, that is, to produce alcohol, and carbon dioxide, and, of course, also water. Even though the dictionary claims that the brain has nothing to do with brew, and with ferment, our brain is a ferment, And with its fermentation the brain is the one initiating the process through which a plant grows. That is why I claim that our brain is just a regular seed. More or less like any ordinary seed of a plant, and it should be seen as a regular seed, and treated like an ordinary seed.

*    *    *

The brain functions like an enzyme does, or yeast, or as a fungus. What yeast does is to ferment, to brew, to boil. We breathe thanks to the boiling of our brain, which is boiling all the time. We
