Neurones The 5 Organs Network of Chinese Medicine - Kidney From Li Zhongzi, A Primer of Medical Objectives (Yizong Bidu), 1637: The Classic states: 'Whenever we treat a disease, we must approach it at the base.' Base here means root or source. Every stream on earth has a source, and every plant has a root. If all murky sediments settle at the source, the downstream waters will naturally be clear and fresh, and if we water a root, it will grow and branches will sprout; these are the laws of nature. The experienced physician, therefore, will always consider the source. However, the body's source is differentiated into a prenatal and a postnatal aspect. From Zhuang Yuanchen, Shujuzi: Inner Chapters (Shujuzi Neipian), Ming Dynasty: The kidney is the ocean of the human body. In the context of the human body only the kidney can be compared to the workings of this natural cycle. From Zhang Huang, A Compendium of Illustrated Texts (Tushu Bian), Ming Dynasty: In relation to the other organ networks, the kidney is situated in the lowest position.
Albert Einstein on God « A Life of Wonder January 4, 2011 by quiverandquill Einstein was asked, “Do you believe in the God of Spinoza.” To which he replied: “I can’t answer with a simple yes or no. I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I call myself a pantheist. I love the beauty and simplicity of this–and especially the phrase–”a universe marvelously arranged,” how better to describe the sublime beauty beyond our understanding. Like this: Like Loading...
Where does the Chinese Yin Yang symbol come from? is a well-known Chinese Yin Yang symbol. Sometimes it's called Tai-Chi symbol. The Tai-Chi is from I-Ching. The I-Ching is the greatest foundation of Chinese philosophy. The Chinese characters of I-Ching are . is , which is a symbol combining the sun (top) and moon (bottom). method to find the unchanging rules from the universe and apply on human activities. When observing the cycle of the Sun, ancient Chinese simply used a pole about 8 feet long, posted at right angles to the ground and recorded positions of the shadow. They used six concentric circles, marked the 24-Segment points, divided the circles into 24 sectors and recorded the length of shadow every day. By rotating the Sun chart and positioning the Winter Solstice at the bottom, it will look like this . In general, the Yin Yang symbol is a Chinese representation of the entire celestial phenomenon. © Copyright 1999-114 Allen Tsai New Revised Version in Chinese at WorldofMastermind.com More Yin Yang Symbols at Yin Yang Mania World
If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel - A tediously accurate map of the solar system Mercury Venus Earth You Are Here Moon Mars Jupiter Io Europa Ganymede Callisto Saturn Titan Uranus Neptune Pluto(we still love you) That was about 10 million km (6,213,710 mi) just now. Pretty empty out here. Here comes our first planet... As it turns out, things are pretty far apart. We’ll be coming up on a new planet soon. Most of space is just space. Halfway home. Destination: Mars! It would take about seven months to travel this distance in a spaceship. Sit back and relax. When are we gonna be there? Seriously. This is where we might at least see some asteroids to wake us up. I spy, with my little eye... something black. If you were on a road trip, driving at 75mi/hr, it would have taken you over 500 years to get here from earth. All these distances are just averages, mind you. If you plan it right, you can actually move relatively quickly between planets. Pretty close to Jupiter now. Sorry. Lots of time to think out here... Pop the champagne! We're always trying to come up with metaphors for big numbers.
Chinese Medicine Basics - Yin and Yang : A Basic Introduction By Marc Ryan Chinese Medical theory, though scientific in its own right, is built on a foundation of ancient philosophical thought. Many of these ideas are based on observations of natural phenomena and are the reason why Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM ) has remained a truly holistic approach to health and well being. The Theory of Yin and Yang is one such philosophy. It is said to date back nearly 6,000 years to the third or fourth millennium B.C. and is attributed to an enlightened philosopher named Fu Shi (also credited with creating the I-Ching or Book of Changes). Yin and Yang are metaphorical images used to express these constantly transforming interactions. The entire universe may be viewed as the interplay and alternation of yin and yang. Yin is that which maintains and endures, it is nourishing and supports growth and development as well as being something contracting and moving inward.

Age de la Terre comparé à la distance Los Angeles - New York We all know that Earth is old, but it’s hard to put into perspective just how old it is. After all, what does 4.5 billion years *really* mean? How do you even comprehend that amount of time with our short-lived human brains? Well, Business Insider has done a pretty incredible job of it in this 3-minute animation, by displaying the timeline of Earth if time was the distance from Los Angeles to New York. And, oh boy, our world-view will never be the same. We start our journey in Los Angeles, back when Earth first formed 4.54 billion years ago. About halfway across the top of Arizona, the world’s largest rock forms 3.95 billion years ago, and then a few miles down the road – 3.8 billion years ago – the first evidence of life shows up, in the form of replicating molecules. But it’s not until Kansas, 2.7 billion years ago, when oxygen-producing cyanobacteria first emerge, and then 200 million years later that significant amounts of oxygen build up in Earth’s atmosphere.
