Nine months have passed and the newly formed little human is now ready to take a ride in this world. What started as even smaller than an inch in size transformed into 2-3 kg's of human. Isn't it surprising that all the organs of a fetus in the womb develop all by themselves and that the same steps are followed for every fetus, without anyone directing the growth process? Have you ever heard, for one fetus, the heart developed first, and the arms developed later and for others, the arms developed first and the heart developed later? Growing perfectly well inside the mother’s womb and having all the organs well developed, does not mean, the baby gets an entry ticket to start living its life on the earth, but only if the little human is able to breathe.
The Taj Mahal, The Great Wall of China, The Great Pyramid of Giza, etc. are among the 7 wonders of the world which pulled our attention through the years. What's more wonderful and amazing than that, is, all have been built by just a group of 5 - 6 feet humans. Extreme physical strength and creative brains are what people think are required to build such huge artistic wonders. But these great structures could only be built because the people who were involved in building the structures, were able to breathe. Being able to breathe verifies that the person is alive, which is required for a person to be able to perform.
Breathing, a simple insignificant process is in the spotlight of this article. This action does not require our control or permission, as it has been granted the power to work on its own. Human lives are often compared with vapor because of the uncertainty that exists in our lives, and this unreliable life is been entrusted into the hands of the air, not surprising at all, which we use to breathe. This air that we breathe is invisible and intangible and does not have much weight, yet it holds the power to sustain a full-grown human for more than 50 - 60 years. All processes of the human physical body are connected to this action. Without breathing, will our legs be ready to walk?, will our hands move?, will the food we eat be converted into energy?, will we be able to defeat our famous enemies called the germs and viruses?, will we be able to gossip?, will we be able to use our most powerful organ known as the brain? If yes, then how much longer, can we perform without breathing?
Organs are like little gadgets placed in a human body, skilled to perform a unique role. They may differ in size, shape, location, and function, but collectively they work together to keep the body fit and healthy. Their equal contribution is required for the well-being of the human body. Each organ requires this intangible breath of air to function without errors. Without the supply of breath, the tangible organs may retire from their skilled jobs. In case of accidents or major issues in the human body, even the layman knows that there is no need to examine all the organs, to find out whether the person is capable to continue his life on earth or not, but checking whether he can breathe or not is alone enough. Breathing is the basic eligibility to be alive. Being able to breathe is the major qualification required to spend life on earth. If a person is unable to breathe for a longer time, he is hardly considered a human. The organs in the human body which help a person to walk, talk, see, feel, think, work, grow, and hear, will be of no use to the person who cannot breathe. The organs cannot stay for longer in a body that is unable to breathe, that's why to keep the organs alive and to use them to the optimum level they are, sometimes shifted to a human body that can breathe, with proper permission from the owner or relatives. This helps us to conclude that humans cannot survive without breathing.
This was all about the physical part of the human body, but there are also non-physical parts that are required to sustain our being. Our conscience, emotion, and thoughts are named as 'Soul', and the life force which gives life to our bodies is called 'Spirit'. Spirit cannot be seen with our naked eyes, but we understand its importance the day it says goodbye to us. Without the spirit, we have to say goodbye to life on earth. So, our maximum effort is to keep it to stay along with us for a longer time. For that, we don't have to do anything to it, but maintaining the physical body and keeping it healthy will be enough, for it to stay with us for a longer time. This tells us that the spirit which dwells inside our physical body has some connection with the physical body doing well. The physical processes of the human body need the intake of oxygen which is available through the breathing process. Another observation is, if the spirit stops living inside the body, breathing will not continue, and if breathing does not continue, then the spirit will say goodbye. So, indirectly, the existence of the spirit and breathing process seems to have some connection, as both play a key role in keeping the human body alive. Are the existence of spirit in our body and being able to breathe interconnected?
To get the solution to the above queries, we must travel into the past, to the origin of the first human life on the earth. The origin of the first human is crucial because all human life follows or imitates the exact pattern of how the first human was developed. The first child on the earth might have been conceived, but the first human on the earth was not born from human parents but was directly made by the creator, as it makes sense to say that the first human is the first one and would not have had any human before him as a parent. The phrase that we use to quote, "Which dust are you made up of?" says that humans have a background with dust. We might have heard that humans are made out of dust, but we are often confused, that if we are made out of the dust, then how are we formed by the union of sperm and egg? So the reality goes like this, the first human on planet earth was made out of dust. The first human did not grow in the womb, but a model of the human grown-up body was directly made from dust. The creator took the help of dust to make the form of the physical body, just like how we used clay in school days to make different forms out of the soft sticky material. We cannot expect the unborn offspring in the womb to have a proper shape of a human body as soon as it is conceived, but as a potter uses a ball of clay, which he molds, little by little giving it a proper desired shape within a certain time, it takes days and weeks and months for an irregular shaped tiny being to take the proper shape of a human body, as a reminder of the first human's physical body made out of dust or clay. This process through which a fetus grows in the womb, starting from an irregular shape to the shape of the proper human body is a sign of how the first human was made out of dust. This process is followed for every being that grows in the mother's womb, as this procedure was followed for the formation of the first human. As we are made from dust, the food that we intake is also grown out of dust.
We cannot expect a model of the human body made up of dust to walk, talk, think, speak, grow, etc, without the existence of life in it. Life, as we understood from previous lines describes, to be able to breathe and the existence of spirit. So how can the model of dust be made to breathe? Doesn't the creator who made the form of the body from dust knows how to make that model breathe? The technique that God used to give life to the model of the physical body is the same technique we humans apply to remain alive. The technique was, God breathed into the human's nostrils the 'Breath of Life'. Breathing through the nostrils is the strategy God used to bring life to the physical body of dust and made the human model to be alive. Life for a human started for the first time, and man became a living soul when God performed this act of breathing in his nostrils, that's why breathing is essential to be alive, and a human is hardly alive if he cannot breathe. Breathing is the procedure, God used to blow life into a human and made a human breathe, therefore life continues only until a human is able to breathe. God not only made humans to be able to breathe but also made the air used for breathing to be freely available to sustain human lives.
The spirit of life was infused into a human body as God breathed into the model's nostrils, making breathing and the existence of the spirit in a human body interconnected. The model made up of dust started to breathe and became alive. That was the making of the first human on the earth. After God made the first human, He placed seeds inside a human body, for humans resembling the first human to be reproduced again after the first one. The first human life started when the creator breathed into human nostrils and infused the spirit of life into a human. When God inserted life into a human body, another important event happened, genetic information was formed and organs started to develop, likewise organs in a fetus develop progressively after it is been conceived. We don't need to teach the organs in our body the task they need to perform, because they have been directed by the best director in the world called "The Creator", and this is also the reason why our finger can repair itself after getting a cut, and we get new skin when our skin gets burned, and etc...
When God made the first human, he taught the organs very well, what they are made up for, and the organs have still not forgotten their job even after so many years and they do their work accurately until and unless human negligence towards them does not cause them any damage. The most amazing fact is that the same organ performs the same function for every human, this is because every human body imitates the exact pattern of the making of the first human. The organs in our body depend on the breath of life to survive, as they were formed as a result of the breath of life being introduced into the human body. That's why the organs cannot survive without the breath of life or when the breath of life is taken away. Hence, all the working organs will be of no use to the person who cannot breathe and organs require a breathing body to be alive.
The procedure God followed to create the first human or start human life is the exact procedure maintained when human life stops or ends. God formed a model of the human body from dust and for this reason, the human body becomes a part of dust when life ends. The way human life ends shows us a clear picture of how human life would have started. Life ends in the reverse process of how it started. When God made a human for the first time, He made him out of dust and inserted life into him by breathing, when life ends, the spirit leaves the body and breathing stops, and the physical body is made part of the dust, exactly in the reverse way of how the first human was formed. When a person dies, after the spirit leaves and breathing stops, the body that is left out is the same body or form of the body that God had initially created for the first human on the earth, which had no life until God infused life by breathing into human's nostrils. When life ends, the body and spirit go to where it belongs i.e. body goes to dust, and the spirit goes to God, according to where they came from. This ensures that we follow the exact pattern of the making of the first human on the earth.
We are breathing what God breathed into our nostrils. If we can breathe, then we are made by God. Only by breathing, does God put the spirit of life into our body, that’s why breathing is a major process of a human remaining alive. Whether a person is alive or not can be found out by whether he can breathe or not, because only by breathing does God infuse life into a human and made him alive.
Hence, we humans are hardly alive if we cannot breathe, and we need to breathe to remain alive, and a person dies when the spirit leaves the body or when breathing stops.
I still have a doubt. Why God, who used this amazing pattern to make a human and not only one human but generations of humans, is not allowing people to live forever and never die?
Think about it !!! Maybe we can find a solution in the upcoming blogs.
