suspended animation

A healthy cell has a negative charge on the outside of it and a positive charge on the inside of it in a chemically balanced body. In this healthy state there is a harmony and rhythm in the pulse of life. There is animation on all levels -- Emotionally, mentally, sensorally, and physically. This is our élan vital! When the pH of the cell dips into an acidic state (below 7), the cells begin to resemble a roll of coins, in that they stack together and the cell lose their structural and spacial integrity. The élan vital fades as the energy slows down and balance and harmony are lost. This cellular slowing down expresses itself as a general lack of animation which is easily seen and felt through the person’s energy field. Within the person it can be felt as physically tiredness or even disease. This is a form of "suspended animation", living with an underlying ambient level of depression.

When the mind, as our functional spirit, is not allowed or encouraged to expand to know itself, then we are closing out the warmth and light of our soul and spirit. We have chosen to live in suspended animation which science defines as “...the slowing of life processes by external means without termination.” This is what we do to our soul’s growth when we are not opening our mind to know who we are, why and how we are and where we are going as a consciousness. The missing link is Spiritual Philosophy!
