What are our bodies really?

For many in this day of mind, our bodies are just a biological computer driving a biological machine.

In a world becoming obsessed with AI as a programmatic version of what supposedly goes on inside our brains, we really need to understand how our brains work. They are often seen as a network of neurons, being nerve cells that communicate with each other, hence neural network, but is that all that they do? Certainly, the brain seems to be controlling our bodies by firing pulses along our nerves, but is that the only things that our bodies are responding to?

While we are now incorporating more AI into our computer chips, usually it has had to be accessed from the cloud. Perhaps that is what is going on with our bodies, but our AI is in our subconscious. That makes our bodies interfaces to, and actuated by, our expanded consciousness, though it has parts that are operating autonomously. This makes our brains like the instruments and switches in cars, and when body parts fail, our communication with our consciousness is interrupted.

Perhaps viewing our bodies from this perspective paves the way for some non-surgical interventions, or at least give us a better clue as to why acupuncture and other modalities seem to work, rather than seeing them as having no scientific basis, and thus dismissing them as invalid, leading to thinking that the only way to treat people is by drugs and surgery.
