Did you know that scientists have studied the mineral and chemical composition of the human body?
That's right. The U.S. Bureau of Chemistry and Soils calculated the chemical and mineral composition of the human body, which breaks down as follows:
- 65% Oxygen
- 18% Carbon
- 10% Hydrogen
- 3% Nitrogen
- 1.5% Calcium
- 1% Phosphorous
- Less than 1 % of Potassium, Sulfur, Sodium, Chlorine, Magnesium, Iron, and Iodine
- Oh, and the trace quantities of fluorine, silicon, manganese, zinc, copper, aluminum, and arsenic.
If we took all those parts and sold them on the common market, it would be worth less than $1. Now our skin is our most valuable physical asset; it's worth about $3.50, I'm told. So, added all up, you're worth less than $5!
But take a moment now to place your hand on your wrist or on your lower neck on either side of your windpipe; go ahead. Let's all be quiet and still together for a moment.
What do you feel?
You FEEL YOUR PULSE. You FEEL the mystery of BIOLOGICAL LIFE beating through your $5 worth of chemicals and minerals.
Do you understand how that works? Do you understand how $5 worth of chemicals and minerals adds up to YOU? Or the person sitting next to you?
EASTER IS ABOUT THE POWER OF LIFE! THE POWER that makes $5 worth of elements PRICELESS.
