Blow the Carbon out of Your Cyborg

Merriam-Webster defines Cyborg as a bionic human having normal biological capability or performance enhanced by or as if by electronic or electromechanical devices.

But what is the human body? It is both electro-chemical and electro-mechanical. Electrical impulses travel the network of nerves triggering mechanical responses. That is to say mechanics of movement. Chemical responses travel the circulatory highways as well as the nervous system.

Psychic abilities are controlled and invoked within and by this electro-bio-chemical network. Scientific evidence proves atmospheric variations in 'haunted' houses. Spikes or valleys in temperature are recorded as well as shifts in magnetic surroundings, high tech monitoring devices are used to capture shifts in the area around where a spiritual presence (or other being) is moving. But aside from that what influences can those shifts have on our physical body? A great deal, and if we pay attention we can audit them and determine over a period of time what those indicators are and the signals that our body is sending to us.

Lets look at it another way. You can actually take these same dynamics and look at them in the stress arena of a normal business day. There are many parallels in indicators and outcomes of the two situations. Think about the impact that the cause and effects of stress will have on the biophysical body.

At the precise moment that stress is elevated during a difficult business exchange or workday, our body’s natural response is to trigger an internal electro-chemical mechanism to assist us. Chemicals are released, such as hormones and endocrinatic fluids such as adrenaline. Adrenaline is a tool for our body to use in the fight or flight syndrome.

Now, take that adrenaline and introduce it during a workday and give it no outlet. What do you suppose the outcome would be? A car’s engine revving at high speeds, at a complete stand still is hard on the car. It’s difficult on the body as well. Long periods or exposure to this type of bio-chemical/physical neglect will manifest itself in many ways such as ulcers, back and neck pain and migraines.

It is said that water finds its own path, so will these chemicals that aren't utilized or burned off through exercise or other viable physical responses. The body sits in tense anticipation yet the mechanical side that is itching for the fight or flight is suppressed by the mental side; because it’s socially unacceptable to give it free reign. We can hardly launch into a sprint to ‘burn out the carbon’ in our body in the middle of the conference call, now can we?

I think we need a movement in this country to make primordial screams acceptable, if not standard practice during or after business meetings. Do you suppose we could get “the Don” to start the trend? Burn out the carbon in your Cyborg once in a while. Your heart, body and soul will thank you.
