Every cell in the body has a connection to a different part of creation.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The human body, consisting of about 75 to 100 trillion cells, carries about ten times as many micro-organisms in the intestines. The metabolic activities performed by these bacteria resemble those of an organ, leading some to liken gut bacteria to a &ldquo;forgotten&rdquo; organ.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Zohar explains that as all the body parts are connected together to become one body so it will be in the final correction. The people will feel, as they are parts of the one whole world.
