from http://www.nanotech-now.com/Art_Gallery/Cambridge.htm The image shows the magnetic field lines in a single bacterial cell. The fine white lines are the magnetic field lines in the cell, which were measured using off-axis electron holography. Such bacteria live in sediments and bodies of water, and move parallel to geomagnetic field lines as a result of the torque [...]
Assimilate this. The Earth (also known at Gaia) is a collective consciousness. Humans are the nervous system of this collective. As we grow and evolve our civilization, the Earth learns, grows and evolves. Here is a picture to help with the visualization.
