Keep your wisdom teeth.

We are given fears growing up, told that one day potentially our body will decide to give us some brand new teeth, the wisdom teeth and that it could send you down the shitter. Many people, hear about the doom and gloom of wisdom teeth coming through at an 'inconvenient' time because evolution of our bone structure has not yet caught up with the evolution of our awareness of better health and therefor ability to keep our teeth for longer.
More simply, modern man feels he should intervene with the mouth growing process and pull our teeth out because well, caveman lost more teeth to make room for the wisdoms when they came through.
Miraculously, in this life we've some how been given such a body that allows for the incredible transformations and experiences we can have, yet some how our bones and teeth are stuck in an archaic past? Isn't this as silly as thinking earth doesn't have an intelligence and that mankind magically started or invented consciousness?
Like what Alan Watts said "we call it an apple tree because the tree apples. And the earth peoples".
What comes first, the chicken or the egg?
Why do we tolerate an xray mentality when deciding what to do with our bodies? our future? Isn't it clear to any academics that have been through a modern scientific process are fully aware of the "what you look for you will find" understanding? Isn't it common sense that the context things are set in defines the experience to follow?
For example...
Child aged 12 is at the dentist. Xrays show the wisdom teeth coming in at a really bad angle. The mouth is tightened and crammed up and teeth are a bit overlapping. It seems like an over populated mouth. But no psychological to bodily advice is made. Little to no examination of how often the child smiles or even talks throughout life and the dentist feels ok to set the future of a horrible operation set many years ahead.
Why is the mouth crammed? Is the mouth small because not much communication is happening? Maybe the kid isn't singing? Afraid of making choices? Using that vocal choir of sound to create in this holographic orchestra.
On one hand of the intelligence spectrum, there's these kinda radical believers of an infinitely changing universe where we have all this potential to be and create whatever we want, and on the other hand of the spectrum... the ones holding the surgical blade its about looking out for symptoms and problems and fighting a battle against them. Got a problem? Just cut it out. Throw some porcelain or metal in that hole.
It really saddens me such an approach is taken as though the body is a battlefield. Some people survive cancer by years and years of electronic therapies and radiation. Some survive the same cancer through massage from loved ones. People induce incredibly intense pains on themselves in the fear that potentially something bad might happen. Potentially the wisdom tooth might hit the other teeth and create an infection... potentially though, you might learn to open your mouth and in the process find your jaw in a new alignment with the world.
When such awareness in the world is coming through, where we realise that what we focus on expands, why do we fall victim so easily to letting ourselves focus on seeing the part of the story where we cannot heal and see the opportunity in the crisis? That it might be harder for a child to smile more often or open the mouth to the world than getting an intensive operation is the result of fear. I am questioning why its tolerated that any sort of negative imprint on the future is allowed... Isn't it obvious that a child with a cramped mouth has some sort of tension in the mouth? Expression that isn't happening? Confusion of choices?
Tell a child with a cramped mouth they've got more problems of the future to deal with, aren't they going to have more stress to deal with? Isn't the idea to try and solve things internally first? Isn't dental surgery just a bandaid when the problems in the mouth are the overall reflection of the whole? Blockages in the flow? Channels closed down? Sure, pulling something bad out might help, but when there are so many natural and simple things to do on your own in a gentle way firstly that can help most problems I don't know why we would goto such extreme lengths as cutting jaw bones to remove teeth.
