Man, I have been so busy lately... got caught up doing reviews at work only to find out a couple of days later that my grandmother in Korea had passed away.

So Kevin, I, and my mother went on an emergency trip to Korea two Fridays ago and just got back last nite.

Will write more later when I have time.

You are in the local village church.
There is a huge pit in the center,
and a door in the west wall. There is a button beside the door.
This church has the service of reviving ghosts. Dead people come
to the church and pray.
There is a clock on the wall.
There is an exit to south.

Creation in its Absolute Creativity...

This is an excerpt from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine...

-----snip-----
The Follicular Phase of the Menstrual Cycle:

The follicular phase lasts about 10 to 14 days, beginning with the first day of menstruation and lasting until the LH surge.  During the follicular phase, the hypothalamus, which is an area of your brain, releases gonadotropin releasing hormone.  This hormone tell the pituitary gland, located at the base of your brain, to release follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).  FSH stimulates, or triggers, the development of several follicles in your ovaries.  These follicles contain immature eggs.  One of these follicles will become the dominant follicle and its egg will begin to mature.  The other follicles that were stimulated stop developing, and their eggs undergo atresia.  The dominant follicle increases in size and secretes, or sends out, estrogen into the bloodstream.  The rising levels of estrogen cause the hypothalamus and pituitary to slow down the production of FSH.
-----snip-----

It is so mindblowing how the human body functions.  How the increased release of FSH drives the growth of an egg but is also paradoxically balanced by its own growth as the developing egg secretes increased estrogen to slow down production of FSH.

Amazing how we have been created and infused with mechanisms that balance our functions towards progress.  Just as our art is our creativity expressed by our souls, our bodies are merely a microcosm of the infinite creativity expressed by an infinite soul.  A creativity that has designed us for progress.

Infertility happens because as women get older, their ovaries become desensitized and respond poorly to FSH and LH.  High, unbalanced levels of FSH in the bloodstream indicate increased infertility as the body tries to produce more and more FSH in an attempt to jumpstart egg development.

Maybe there is something we can learn from this.  That progress will occur when a balance is achieved.  That with every growth further develops a seed to inhibit that growth in nature.  A natural balancing mechanism.  Perhaps progress in our lives depends on how well we balance ourselves by remaining sensitive to natural balancing mechanisms in our lives...

How amazing the female reproductive system is...perhaps its true, that man was created before woman....for practice...
