How does a caterpillar take itself apart so it can put itself back together
again as a butterfly? Is the Cocoon the real question of the ethics of
destratification?

And every seven years isn't our body completely new? Don't millions of cells
die every day? Isn't dandruff, sweat, piss, shit evidence of taking ourselves
apart all the time? Isn't the cause of cell death usually an inability to take
oneself apart fast enough? (Ie. not able to remove enough of the toxins in a
short enough amount of time)

How does a butterfly construct itself? Does it know it is becoming a
butterfly?

"If you could see your body as it really is, you would never see it the same
way twice. Ninety-eight percent of the atoms in your body were not there a
year ago. The skeleton that seems so solid was not there three months ago. The
configuration of the bone cells remains somewhat constant,but atoms of all
kinds pass freely back and forth through the cell walls, and by that means you
acquire a new skeleton every three months. The skin is new every month. You
have a new stomach lining every four days, with the actual surface cells that
contact food being renewed every five minutes. The cells in the liver turn
over very slowly, but new atoms still flow through them, like water in a river
course, making a new liver every six weeks. Even within the brain, whose cells
are not replaced once they die, the content of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and
so on is totally different today from a year ago. It is as if you lived in a
building whose bricks were systematically taken out and replaced every year..
If you keep the same blueprint, then it will still look like the same
building. But it won't be the same in actuality." --- Deepak Chopra, Quantum
Healing, speaking about destratification within the body.

Now here's the thing : the BwO doesn't like one "blueprint". It's this
blueprint thing the whole BwO issue centers around in my opinion. The BwO
wants to play around with all sorts of blueprints ... since it exists in a
schrodinger space of multiple states ... any blueprint is an actuality which
collapses the wave equation ... A "blueprint" is an "organ-ization" ... maybe
we could say that the BwO is in some sense the "Quantum Body" ... by taking
ourselves apart, we create ourselves ... in the intervals, there's some space
for creativity, for bifurcations, and yes, probably also for cancer as well
....
