Tree of the Body

Perform the Closing of the Veil mudra and the Qabalistic Cross, descend the Tree of the Body, and bring the meditation session to an end by standing and stamping your foot to assert your presence in material reality. Stretch to absorb the energies accruing from the meditation into the cells of your body. Then record your meditation before the finer details are lost. 

In this stage we unite our own subjective Tree with the objective Macrocosm, of which it is a reflection. Starting from Malkuth, ascend the Tree of the material body, building the Sephiroth in the Queen Scale of Briah. 

Masters and Houston (1966) have reported statements from a number of subjects who purportedly "felt" the interior of the body during psychedelic experiments. One subject told about sensing his "interior landscape," describing the "trees, vines, streams, waterfalls, hills, and valleys" of the body. Another described the sensation of blood flowing... 

Benecol is a brand of margarine invented by a small Finnish food company (The Raisio Group). Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Finnish researchers indicates that regular use of Benecol can lower blood cholesterol levels by an average of 10 percent in a randomly selected, mildly hypercholesterolemic population sample. Its active ingredient is a plant sterol from Nordic pine trees known as beta-sitostanol, which apparently can block some of the body s absorption of dietary cholesterol. At present, 5 tons of wood waste are processed to produce 1 pound of the oil that is the source of the sterol. 

Formic acid—HCO,OH—46—occurs in the acid secretion of red ants, in the stinging hairs of certain insects, in the blood, urine, bile, perspiration, and muscular fluid of man, in the stinging-nettle, and in the leaves of trees of the pine family. It is produced in a number of reactions by the oxidation of many organic substances sugar, starch, flbrin, gelatin, albumin, etc. by the action of potash upon chloroform and kindred bodies by the action of mineral acids in hydrocyanic acid during the fermentation of diabetic urine by the direct union of carbon mon-... 

Almost every year, new CT scanners are introduced, allowing investigation of any part of the body with the highest spatial and temporal resolution within the shortest scan time. CT angiography performed with multi-detector-row CT (MDCT) and dedicated contrast protocols visualize even the smallest of vessels in the periphery of any vascular tree. Coronary arteries are of particular challenge for imaging by CT because of their small size and their continuous rapid movement. With the newest MDCT scanners, however, any vascular territory, including the coronary arteries, is now assessable with detailed anatomic (Achenbach et al. 2006). 

The expression of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (phosphodiesterase V) protein and mRNA in both the cell bodies and the dendritic tree of the Purkinje cells of the mouse was shown by Juilfs et al. (1999). 

This is a hexose monosaccharide—a 6-carbon sugar. Mannose is not found free in foods, but it is derived from ivory nuts, orchid tubers, pine trees, yeast, molds, and bacteria. Although unimportant to human nutrition, it is a component of some glycoproteins and mucoproteins of the body. Its chemical structure is very similar to glucose. 

For every multibody system there is a description with a constant diagonal mass matrix M such that each body is modelled separately, as detailed in the next section. This description leads to large systems of equations when compared to alternative descriptions (e.g. describing a spanning tree of the system in minimal coordinates), but has other advantages (see next section). We describe here how to use the special structure of the equations to reduce significantly the computational cost of the linear algebra calculations.
