What man can do,
Nature can do better. It's even fair to say that the prototype of every
human invention, present, past and future, already exists in Nature.
With
the increasing pace of technological change, it's easy to get swept
along by the excitement of future possibilities with data and artificial
intelligence. Especially so when the futurist we're listening to is
someone who clearly has his finger on the pulse of where we're headed,
namely Marc Andreeson, founder of VC Andreessen Horowitz, who is
confidently putting his money where his finger is.
In
an interview with Fortune editor, Alan Murray at the Fortune Global
Forum,November 3rd, Andreessen shared his prognostications on The
Quantified Self, a movement whose followers may be anyone who shops at
Fitbit and likes to collect data about themselves. "The idea that you
don't know what's happening inside your body all the time, which today
you don't, will just get viewed as a primitive way to live..." opined
Andreessen.
A view neatly summarised by Alan Murray as the 'Early Detection' model of healthcare as opposed to "waiting till you're ill.."
But,
Hello! While we're taking the first steps to a medical future possibly
similar to the one depicted in the Hollywood film, Elysium, which film,
by the way, is a stark rejoinder to Andreessen's other view: that
technology won't increase social inequality, we should be aware that the
early detection model already exists in native form.
As an instructor of kundalini yoga meditation for more than ten years, I can tell Mr Andreessen that, long before smartphones, Nature was making
use of sensors, coding and data analytics in the human body much beyond
the purview of conventional medical science.
The
Early Detection model is hardwired in the body in the form of
chakras(hubs) and energy channels(network cabelling). The fingers are
end-points and when there's any system error(undetected beginnings of
an illness) , the information is routed to the appropriate hub and then further relayed to an end-point where it can picked up by an individual.
What
makes this native version better than any man-made one is that it
actualises the ancient injunction: "Physician Heal Thyself". The
individual, with the right knowledge can do a 'system restore' on
themselves and remove the basis of what could have become an illness.
There
is however one prerequisite for the Early Detection model to work : the
network has to be switched on. This is the kundalini awakening.
And
to add to Andreessen's predictions about a future techno-centric world,
there's another prediction that says there's a superior human-centric
one coming as well.
