It is now that my life is mine
I’ve got this short time on earth GABRIELAS SANG
And my longing has brought me here,
all I lacked and all I gained
And yet it’s the way that I chose
My trust was far beyond words
That has shown me a little bit
Of the heaven I’ve never found
I want to feel I’m alive
All my living days
I will live as I desire
I want to feel I’m alive
Knowing I was good enough,
have never lost who I was
I have only left it sleeping
Maybe I never had a choice
Just the will to stay alive
All I want is to be happy being who I am
To be strong and to be free
To see day arise from night
I am here and my life is only mine
And the heaven I thought was there
I’ll discover it there somewhere
I want to feel that I’ve lived my life!

THE LANGUAGE OF THE EMBRYO
• The speech / language of forms, motions and

• The interface between forms, functions and
actions (behavior) is gesture.
• GESTALT and SHAPING are the key words
(Blechschmidt): A morphology of the soul?
• Brains, genes, bodies cannot act. Organisms
act, organisms are ill. And so on.
• The risk of metaphors is to stifle what is
essential: TO CONFUSE THE CONDITION FOR A
MATTER WITH THE MATTERS ITSELF. 90
LIVING AS AN EMBRYO
• “Is it possible for we cells, before
and after specially neural tissue
arise, to reproduce in later phases
of the life cycle transforms, or
variations of our first experiences?
May our prenatal experiential
patterns function as templates for
some of our patterns woven into the
complex knit of postnatal design?”
Robert Laing in Facts of life. 91

• Motion is primary, forms are processes that

• The body is an continuous performance, not
cause (causative principle).
• ‘Going upright (straight) as expression of the
soul, of spirit, not of the body’.

STOP THE MEDICALISATION OF BIRTH
Dear Mr. Jaap,
Her I am with my beautiful daughter!
I gave birth at the 15th of November 2013.
It was not a home birth but it was a natural birth.
I decided to deliver in hospital, because I had a birth plan
and thanks to the birth plan I could change a little bit the
mind of most medical doctors. In my birth plan I asked
not to use oxytocin and no other drug to speed up my
birth, and I asked also not to cut the umbilical cord but
only after some minutes ( so that all the blood can go from
the placenta to the baby), and at last I asked for my
placenta.
The placenta, a magical tree of life which gave nutrition to
my babe for 9 month, the placenta is buried in my garden
now, under an olive tree.
Thanks to my request a lot of woman are trying to do the
same in hospital…for an peaceful birth.
The Placenta is ours and not a garbage or a refuse but
something sacred.
Attached a picture of my lovely daughter Ena Kai.

BIRTH AS IT WAS
MEANT
106
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

BLASTULA (Blastocyst)
Der Kampf beginnt wenige Tage nach der Empfängnis, wenn sich
der Embryo der Gebärmutterschleimhaut nähert, um sich
einzunisten. Keine anheimelnde Umgebung erwartet ihn, sondern
das mütterliche Immunsystem. Um sich einen Platz zum
Heranwachsen zu erobern, muss er Angriffe der Killerzellen
unterlaufen. Danach gilt es, möglichst viele Nährstoffe zu
erbeuten, gegen den Widerstand des mütterlichen Körpers. Die
Frau will ihre Ressourcen schonen, das Ungeborene will seine
Überlebenschancen erhöhen. Neun Monate dauert der
Schlagabtausch; nur wenn er unentschieden ausgeht, kommen
Mutter und Kind heil davon. Der Krieg im Mutterleib könnte gar
der Hauptgrund dafür sein, dass weltweit jedes Jahr zehn
Millionen Frauen während der Schwangerschaft erkranken.

2 LIMITING TISSUES AND 1 INNER TISSUE
Erich Blechschmidt
(1904-1992) introduced
the principle of limiting
tissues vs inner tissue.
The classical triad
Ectoderm, Mesoderm
and Endoderm should
be interpreted as a
twofoldness with
meso(derm)’ as the
‘INNER’, the IN-
BETWEEN (not the
viscera, they represent
the INSIDE)

‘FASCIA’ IS AN ORGAN
• The primeval dimension • It connects
of the mesenchyme as
the matrix tissue is and it shapes
CONNECTING and space
SHAPING SPACE
• Morphologically this is • It enables

Tendencies in THE INNER

organizing tendencies in

of Mesenchyme:
– Concentration,
centering,

Tensegrity, tensional integrity or
floating compression, is a structural
principle based on the use of isolated
components in compression inside a net of
continuous tension, in such a way that the
compressed members (usually bars or
struts) do not touch each other and the
prestressed tensioned members (usually
cables or tendons) delineate the system
spatially. The term tensegrity was coined
by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s as a
portmanteau of "tensional integrity". The
other denomination of tensegrity, floating
compression, was used mainly by Kenneth
Snelson. Tensegrity as "The Architecture of
Life" is an idea developed by Donald E.
Ingber, explained in a January 1998 article
in Scientific American.

• „In the human body never there
are purely mechanical
procedures, (......) probably
however biomechanical stress,
thus stress effects as
achievements of living cells and
cell conglomerates. Biological
processes are always more than
purely physical procedures”.
The idea that the body can manage something like leverage
doesn’t mean that it contains levers. In biotensegrity forms –
i.e. non-linear biologic architectures, such as ours,
there are no levers, no shear, no bending moments.

The heart does not process the blood in a metabolic way (like it happens in the
capillaries) but it reverses the blood in an hydrodynamic sense.
It impulses and inverts the blood.

I have again and again grown like grass;
I have experienced seven hundred and seventy moulds.
I died from minerality and became vegetable;
And from vegetativeness I died and became animal.
I died from animality and became man.
Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die
Bringing forth wings and feathers like angels:
After that soaring higher than angels –
What you cannot imagine. I shall be that.

EMERGENCE OF MAN
7-4 million years ago: Several monkeys perhaps walked upright:
Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Orrorin tugenensis, Ardipithecus
ramidus.
3.7 million years ago: In Tanzania, three upright walking apes
leave a footprint behind in wet volcanic ash: unmistakable
evidence of bipedalism
Ca. 3.9 - 2.9 million years ago: In East Africa is Australopithecus
afarensis around, known from the fossil Lucy
Ca. 3-2 million years ago, Australopithecus africanus runs (walks)
in South Africa, characteristic are the developed hands
2.4 - 2.3 million years ago: First primitive tools in East Africa
1.9 million years ago, Australopithecus sediba in South Africa.
About 2 - 1.5 million years ago: First primitive hominids,
characterized by large brains

LOCOMOTION IN BALANCE ?
Body weight (kg) versus net transport costs (ml of oxygen per kg N per m displacement). Note the
logarithmic scale. The yellow dots indicate the cost of a walking human, and the red and blue dots
the costs for bipedally respectively quadrupedally walking chimpanzees. The propelling charge
amounts in man approximately one-quarter of the costs, which are measured for the chimpanzee.
The dotted lines indicate the average cost that may measure in running and walking mammals and
birds in general. The figure illustrates the dramatic biomechanical superiority of the erect posture
of Homo sapiens. (M.D.Sockol, D.A.Raichlen, H.Pontzer “Chimpanzee locomotor energetics and the
origin of human bipedalism” PNAS 104, p.12265-12269, 2007).

DEEP RETARDATION – HOX-genes
Denis Duboule a
remarkable article
(“The rise and fall
of Hox gene
clusters”
Development 134,
p.2549-2560, 2007)
• Although all bilaterian animals have a related set of Hox genes, the genomic
organization of this gene complement comes in different flavors. In some
unrelated species, Hox genes are clustered; in others, they are not. This
indicates that the bilaterian ancestor had a clustered Hox gene family and that,
subsequently, this genomic organization was either maintained or lost.
Remarkably, the tightest organization is found in vertebrates, raising the
embarrassingly finalistic possibility that vertebrates have maintained best this
ancestral condition”
In other words, vertebrates, amazingly, would be the only
animals in which the original genomic strucutre of this crucial
gene family has persisted throughout evolution”.
