Spirituality II

Each cell has a unique function and the integrated function of a group of cells forms a process. Quite a large number of processes are in operation every time inside the human body.
Is it not as if all the cells combined somehow, i.e. something akin to the invisible hand metaphor of Al Ghazali to form a body in order to support life in each of them surrendering to the will of a central control thus creating a central control and the central control helping them survive and they helping the central control survive.
Can we not extrapolate this kind of arrangement to other systems, like a social system where each individual is engaged in a unique function and the integrated functions of all the people in a society create a society and the society helps them survive as do they help society survive.
And then can we not extend this arrangement of surrendering to the will of individual parts of anything for each part could collaborate in its own unique way and the collaboration would in turn help each individual part survive.
And is not the food chain of which we are a part not a similar kind of arrangement, an arrangement of every unit of every living and non living thing contributing in its unique way forming a Whole helping the Whole survive and the Whole helping each and every individual unit survive and sustaining the life and giving it a continuity by birth from itself erasing the expended.
