Spiralgruppe Anhängsel
‡ Folgendes hat anthroposofische Einschlüße ‡
The spiral tendency always arises when
time enters space and develops towards a centre. ‡
Pandanus amaryllifolius
Gebrauch: Pandanblätter in der Thai-Küche beliebt, immergrün. Beim Mitkochen entsteht ein nussiges, vanilleähnliches Aroma. Das grüne Pandanextrakt wird auch
gern zum Färben von Kuchen genutzt.
Die frischen Blätter (indonesisch Daun pandan, thailändisch Bai toei, ใบเตย) werden entweder mitgekocht oder aber die Speisen werden in die Blätter eingepackt und
in diesen gedämpft oder frittiert; in allen Fällen dienen die Blätter nur der Aromatisierung und werden nicht mitverzehrt. Häufig werden Pandanblätter bei der Zubereitung weniger hochwertiger Reissorten verwendet, da deren Geschmack so gehoben werden kann.
[Wolfgang Held]
In
almost all organisms energie supplies to individual
cells are mediated by adenosine-triphosphate (ATP).
Food intake followed by digestion and metabolism yields ATP
that
is taken to every cell.
Almost
all life forms use the enzyme ATP-synthase to produce
ATP from its precursor adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
and phosphate. Rotation occurs within the enzyme molecule whilst it is active.
Until now only movements through small angles were known for enzymes.
Rotation around one's own axis and linear locomotion are the fundamental forms
of movement in space. A combination of the two produces circular, vortical and spiral movements. This can be seen in plant
growth. Spiral phyllotaxis indicates that upward
growth combines with a rotary components. This can be easily seen in roses,
for
instance. A spiral line can be drawn around the stem as one moves upwards from
one leaf tip to the next. Vortices are created in all air and water currents
unless they
are
confined to beds or pipes. Meteorological high pressure vortices and natural
currents in rivers provide evidence for our eyes.
All heavenly bodies (earth/planets/sun/comets) rotate around their axes as they
move through the planetary system.
What
is the essential nature of rotary movement? It gives stability and orientation
in space. Thus the earth's axis of rotation maintains its orientation on the
Pole star as its moves through the zodiac. At the physical level this creates
individual identity, independent of the environment.
In
the macrocosm the rotation of many heavenly bodies is not visible to the eye
and can only be established by exact radar measurement. Rotation of the ATP
enzyme also
is
not accessible to direct observation in the microcosm of the organism. It seems
remarkable, however, that every movement in and of the body involves not only
complex flow changes in body fluids but also multiple rotatory
movements at molecular level, i.e. not accessible to sensory perception.
To have a body means to close oneself off and create a new world within the
world at large. This independence from the world only comes to full expression
in humans, because their body axis is in the vertical. Only in human beings,
therefore, does emancipation, delimiting oneself from the environment, also
cover the sphere of soul and
spirit.
Every organism at the level of life does, however, have a world of its own.
This is reinforced at a level below sensory perception because the ATP enzymes
rotate
at
every movement in and of the body.
