I watched a chat between Trevor Timbeck (one of the authors of The Power of Systems) and Dominic Scaffidi.
At one point in the video Trevor compares our body to a bell. When you hit a bell it has these beautiful sounds and resonance. But if you stuffed that bell full of cottonballs and hit it, it would just make a THUD. He said that this is what most of us have done to our bodies. Stuffed it full with cotton balls.
I could really picture that, and so it just made me think of all the ways we 'stuff our bodies with cottonballs' and dull everything. Interesting.
Anyway...he says it WAY better than I have explained it here! 馃ぃ
