WHAT YOU TRULY NEED TO LIVE!

A FUNCTIONING BODY- We are not arguing that you are your body, and nothing more. We are also not going to discuss anything about your soul unless we are talking about your shoes. The bottom line is that your body is what is keeping you alive. It is only under the right conditions, like correct temperature and blood sugar levels, that the body can survive. The brain needs oxygen from the lungs pumped through blood from the heart. When the heart stops, the breath stops and the brain stops, life is over. The thing you need the most to live is your body. Everything else you need is for the soul purpose of sustaining the wellness and equalibrium of your body. Even your mind is a tool designed for protecting the body. Your body contains all of your vital organs such as the heart, brain, liver, and lungs. Without health and well being, air, water, food, and shelter will do you no good. Above all, you must protect the body from harm to ensure the continuation of all bodily functions. Possible deadly injuries are burns, being crushed, falling, contusions, broken bones, deep wounds, severe bleeding and head trauma.

4  PRIMARY NEEDS TO SUPPORT THE BODY- These 4 needs are the primary needs for sustaining life.

-AIR- The human brain can only survive about 2 minutes without oxygen. If your air is being threatened by suffocation, toxic chemicals, pollution, or an other contamination, finding clean air to breath will take #1 priority for survival every time.

-SHELTER/SECURITY- As the diagram suggests, shelter and security are central to survival. Being exposed to heat, cold, and violence can harm the body or end your life quickly. Shelter will provide a safe space for you to protect your body, food, and water, and protect you from all of the elements and from human dangers. Clothing is a form of shelter, and so are weapons. All are designed to keep you safe and secure. see article shelter

-WATER- The human body can only survive for 2-4 days without water. This makes finding water very urgent. See article water security

-FOOD- The human body can sustain about 1-2 weeks without food. Food is not as crucial as air and water, but without it you will become very hungry and weak and unable to sustain your life. See article finding food
