You can’t see the invisible connections that keep you alive and are part of the living, breathing world. You can’t see your thoughts, feelings, wishes, hopes, dreams, and fears. Modern medicine continues to focus on the physical, and until we reinvent the body, giving due importance to its invisible reality, the medicine we get will be forever limited, insufficient, and egregiously slow in its evolution.
