fails to mention any hint of "spiritual component" nor this "inseparable interdependence similar in all living beings", let alone "onset of life metaphysically"?

physiology is a metaphysical substance not native to planet Earth and when its spiritual component is removed disappears from existence - physiology is the physical presence of the life sustaining spiritual content. - the brain is not what becomes hungry, hunger is the spiritual that keeps the being alive.
the spiritual is what maintains the metaphoric process to its conclusion in dissolving and recreating the new organs - brain.
the soul is not being discussed and obviously would be a component of the spiritual.
