The Seed View of the Human Body is a visualization tool that can help an individual to understand how the human body is interconnected.
According to The Seed View of the Human Body, it is useful to treat the human body as if it grew from a seed. This is useful because of the way a seed grows. A seed grows by spreading out a network of roots that spread in a three dimensional way around the seed into the ground.
Because of the way a seed grows, it is intuitive that the roots are part of the seed. If the statement were made that “If something happens to the roots of a seed, something will happen to the seed”, most people would not challenge that statement. Most people would agree that something that happened to the roots of a seed, for instance the application of some kind of poison, would travel through the roots into the seed, where the seed itself would be affected.
The human body behave just like that. The human body behaves as if it is composed of roots that travel all over the human body. If something happened to the roots in the human body, that something would travel through the roots, or through the human body, where it would affect every part of the human body they were in contact with.
If the human body can be visualized as being filled with the roots of a seed that completely fill and connect every part of the human body, where is the seed? All of those roots in the human body must have started growing from somewhere, if the human body is being compared to a seed.
According to The Seed View of the Human Body, there are three different places in the human body that can be treated as the seed of the human body. The heart, the brain, or the stomach can each be treated as the seed from which a human body grows.
Each of those three places can be treated as if they alone are the seed of the human body. It is also useful to treat the human body as if a combination of two or all three locations are a seed. The concept of the human body growing from two or three seeds, is used to present the idea of a nexus or gathering point for the roots within the body.
While only one location in the body may behave as if it is the seed of the human body, the way the roots flow within the human body brings a high concentration of the roots together in other places. Although these places are not seeds from which roots sprout, these locations are so thick with roots that in some ways the thick collection of roots behaves as if it is a seed.
The Stomach is the seed of the human body – For reasons related to kung fu, the martial arts, yoga, any kind of physical discipline that is involved with the “grounding” of the human body, and factual scientific discussion of how the human body is constructed and behaves, the seed of the human body would be treated as if it was in the stomach.
The Heart is the seed of the human body – For reasons related to religion, any area of endeavor that was involved in the concept of love, or raising oneself up to be an elevated and superior kind of person, the heart would be treated as if it was the seed of the human body.
The Brain is the seed of the human body – In this rough draft version of this page, the brain would be treated as the seed of the human body for reasons related to the construction and engineering of the human body, as well as being related to the idea of raising oneself up to be a superior kind of human being.
