a deeper understanding of the equation’s origin and its<br />

intent. My research continued.<br />

With little to work with, I started at the beginning of the<br />

equation and took a closer look at the word LIFE.<br />

Since the original equation was written in a notebook by<br />

an unknown man of medicine or science, it’s not<br />

immediately clear which context was intended.<br />

Did LIFE mean the biological state of <strong>life</strong>? That would<br />

make sense if you included BODY and MIND, but the<br />

third element of FEELING doesn’t easily fit.<br />

Even by today’s standards, the most accepted definition<br />

of LIFE throughout the scientific community<br />

is organisms which are composed of cells, will<br />

successfully grow, adapt, thrive and reproduce in their<br />

own environment. The term FEELING doesn’t have an<br />

obvious place in that context.<br />

Or, did the author mean the experiential state of <strong>life</strong>?<br />

That which we experience from the time of our birth. This<br />

made more sense and all three elements - BODY, MIND<br />

and FEELING can be a part of one’s experiences<br />

throughout LIFE.<br />
