Your birth and Molecular Attraction

Love must not entreat or demand. Love must have the strength to become certain within itself. Then it ceases merely to be attracted and begins to attract.” ― Hermann Hesse, German novelist.

Molecular attraction is the first language of fertilization. Of your birth. Of your entire existence physically and consciously. It is the egg that attracts the sperm. And here a biochemical selection process is what decides to become you. Let us unravel your birth-

Your existence or rather the tendency of you to come into being begins with a chemical motion and calling called Chemotaxis. Define it in simple terms, it is a deliberate and directed movement of living cells in response to markers or callings in their environment. As the egg matures in the body of a female, it releases specific chemical signals into the fluid in which it floats.

It is not the quickest or strongest sperm that wins the race to mate with the egg. It is the egg that chooses who she lets in based on certain chemical connections. If the egg likes the sperm, it sends chemical signals to swim faster. However, if the egg dislikes the sperm, it sends signals to the sperm to slow down. This is the law of attraction at work, with the egg ghosting the sperm not interested in. So only sperm with the right receptors can sense and swim towards the signals. The other simply do not hear the calling. Or in another language one can say the egg emits a scent and only compatible sperm can smell it.

This study refutes the long-held belief that it is the strongest and fastest sperm that gets the egg. The egg consciously chooses the sperm she wants and rejects the others. The egg is surrounded by a protective follicular liquid. Millions of sperm arrive but only one is chosen. Only a sperm with a matching protein will bind itself. This is molecular consent happening at the scale of molecules and atoms. Once the sperm reaches the fallopian tube and meets the egg, it encounters the chemoattractant in the follicular fluid. Once inside the egg, the outer shell of the egg seals up stopping other sperms from entering and hardens the outer membrane. It releases cortical granules which deflects all the other sperm. In the meanwhile, the head of the sperm unites with the egg and the tail disintegrates. Within days a single cell will multiply and keep on repeating and we know the rest.

Research shows that the egg favors sperm with different gene profiles. This increases genetic resilience to the environment and disease protection in the offspring. Reproduction favours diversity. This is nature at play. A gradient based navigation following specific steps of attraction, recognition and permission to enter.

The human egg is about the size of a grain of sand and can be seen without a microscope. It is about 18 times bigger than the sperm and one of the largest cells in the human body. And one can say extremely intelligent. This is how Mother Nature sprinkles a certain wisdom to produce a deliberate fate.

Life does not begin with speed or chance. It begins with choice. Deliberate. Calibrated. But instantaneous at the same time. Molecular Attraction shows that your birth does not begin with force but with a certain degree of relational intelligence. It creates the pathway for recognition, compatibility thus allowing fertilization to be the final act of consent within the framework of its morphic field. Your birth began with regulation and resonance. Long before the mind gave meaning to events, biology was already working silently, progressively, and intuitively.

We are born by choice and not by chance. The sperm of your father sought out attraction for your mother’s egg. Once compatibility was set, boundaries were induced which involved precision and timing. And you began your journey into this existence. So then, if you are born by deliberate choice, attention, and action, why are you not able to exercise this innate intelligence when faced with your surroundings? If fertility is biological, why are you so neurologically wired to react? Why are you not able to hold your nervous system when your mother’s egg so intelligently chose her sperm to create the best soma? And that is You.

Can we shift from our heads to our bodies and go back to this wisdom given to us at conception and implanted into each one of our cells? That we are creatures of deliberate choice. That we have the power to select our becoming. We are born though selection but somewhere we have erased that and we choose to be shaped by stress, grief, heartbreak, abuse, addictions, and our society. There is something we, as a bunch of traumatized human beings are missing. And that is that Life is a sacred unfolding. So, what are you choosing to unfold? What are you choosing to attract?

"The choice is either you fix yourself or you try to fix the truth. With one you will attain to the highest, with the other you turn into trash."-Sadhguru jaggi Vasudev.
