And I look more or less the same as Jeff did yesterday. So there's a... Our sense of... identity is often anchored in this physical continuity of like, there's Jeff, there's a stable and reliable Jeff, you know? You know, any even brief excavation into human physiology reveals that that's like complete bollocks. You know, that is a complete and utter total delusion.

You know, we are nothing but change. We are seven octillion self-assembled atoms that were originally forged in the crucible of some supernova eight billion years ago. experiencing 37 billion billion, that's not a typo, chemical reactions per second. Per second. I am... I'm not even close to the same person right now than I was when I sat down and began this conversation.

And if you look kind of deeper into my organism, what you will find is 39 trillion prokaryotes, these little bacteria and archaea and fungi, these single-celled organisms. You know, they're on my skin, they're in my aura. Increasingly, we're finding them in every organ, but largely they're kind of partying down in the den of my colon. And these little bacteria, these gut bugs...

are regulate almost like every system in my body. And if you were to sum total of their DNA, it's like they have 150 times my DNA. And they're turning over like every four minutes to 24 hours. So I am in complete flux all of the time.

And sort of embracing this idea that I am process and not product was really empowering for me because if I am process, then my diabetes that I was diagnosed with five years ago was also just process. And so is every other disease. And that health really exists along this dynamic spectrum. And that we have a certain amount of jurisdiction or agency over our trajectory on that spectrum.

that we can, moment to moment, day by day, be moving towards wholeness, that's the process of healing, or moving towards disconnection and disease, it's the process of ailing. And I had agency. And so that sense of impermanence that was born out of my study of Buddhism, as applied to my physiology, was empowering and liberating.

I think the next sort of like part of the Rubik's Cube for me was also very much kind of within the Buddhist mindset. I mean, around... my body and my organism as being completely interconnected and interwoven with the environment. And you've probably come across this before, but the Buddha had this wonderful analogy through an image for the interconnected universe, and he called it Indra's net.
