In lower organisms there are no other embodied spiritual bodies (such as the [[Astral body|astral body]] or [[I]]) though these forces relate from the outside- in plants growth rhythms are regulated by planetary influences. One remarkable difference between plants and animal form development is the lack of [[apoptosis]] (programmed cell death) in plant forms. In animals and humans apoptosis is essential for development and improper coordination of this results in birth defects<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8801138</ref>. | In lower organisms there are no other embodied spiritual bodies (such as the [[Astral body|astral body]] or [[I]]) though these forces relate from the outside- in plants growth rhythms are regulated by planetary influences.
