An Anatomy of Cellular Consciousness



An Anatomy of Cellular Consciousness

Most of the human body is made up of water, H2O, with cells consisting of 65-90% water by weight. Therefore, it isn't surprising that most of a human body's mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basic unit for organic molecules, comes in second. 99% of the cellular mass of the human body is made up of just six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
  1. Oxygen (65%)
  2. Carbon (18%)
  3. Hydrogen (10%)
  4. Nitrogen (3%)
  5. Calcium (1.5%)
  6. Phosphorus (1.0%)
  7. Potassium (0.35%)
  8. Sulfur (0.25%)
  9. Sodium (0.15%)
  10. Magnesium (0.05%)
  11. Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Manganese, Cobalt, Iron (0.70%)
  12. Lithium, Strontium, Aluminum, Silicon, Lead, Vanadium, Arsenic, Bromine (trace amounts)
What is missing here is the invisible element of consciousness

Knowledge of existence is dependent on it
It affects all of our actions
All ideation arises from it
All determinations are made by it
yet we do not know where it came from
how it came
and what its ultimate purpose is

Five of the worlds major religions
have spent millenniums trying to answer the questions
regarding the origins and meaning of consciousness
their subjective conclusion
is that consciousness is a Divine attribute
ultimately unknowable

The theological answer has been largely dismissed by objective scientists
 Because consciousness is immaterial and cannot be detected by any of the five senses
the rules of empiricism dictate that science cannot answer any of life's vital questions
yet by not including them in the cosmic scheme of things
any and all investigation into the evolution of life
has no intrinsic meaning or cosmic purpose
and so the full drive of truly motivated inquiry remains latent

The challenge of this moment is to evoke a common sense bridge
between science and religion
and span the artificial gulf between body and spirit

Is it possible, via a combination of subjective presentation and objective examination
to arrive at a reasonable analysis of the constituents of consciousness?

Several basic questions need to be examined

How did consciousness originate out of base elements?
What are the attributes of consciousness?
What is the purpose of consciousness?
Is Consciousness Divine?

Does Consciousness originate out of base elements?

Most of the elements and mineral combinations listed in this essay
as basic compositions of organic life are present in the average rock.
and since it is from rocks that all forms of conscious life evolved
and if atoms are the base building blocks of the elements
is it not possible that the seed of consciousness could be an energetic transmission
of atomic radiation?

Is it possible that all our current emotional and intelligent expressions of consciousness
was latent in the radiant energy of the Singularity
before it exploded into Creative Expression?.

Is it possible that via atomic fusion
the association of basic conscious atoms into heavier elements
formed different flavors of consciousness?

Is it possible that these different flavors
of hydrogen consciousness
oxygen consciousness
nitrogen consciousness
calcium consciousness
when bonded together and held in association by carbon consciousness
created an harmonic of organic cellular communication
that gradually evolved from primal algae
over eons of natural selection
and life experiences
into the complex symphony of human consciousness?

Should the atomic equation E=MC2
not then also include the emotional causes and effects of consciousness?

What are the Attributes of Consciousness?

The attributes of human Consciousness encompass every emotion
from affection, ambition, anger and angst
to zeal, zany and zest
with infinite nuances of meaning and purpose in between.

It seems obvious that a rock
does not consciously exhibit a zest for life
but is its totally unemotional?
For all we know it's atomic association may radiate subtle charismatic signals
of affection and latent evolutionary ambitions.

If all organic life and the consciousness it exhibits
was suddenly extinguished
would not the rock eventually produce it again?

If
for example
a sculptor carves a block of marble into a statue
say Michael Angelo's, David.
what is the charismatic attraction we sense when confronted by it?
Is it the ghost of Micheal Angelo's talents that calls to our attention
or is the rock itself signalling mutual affection to us?

Why do we treasure crystallized jewels like diamonds and rubies?
Why do we treat all forms of beauty with care and affection?

When we melt silicon
and blow it into the form of a delicate glass goblet
why do we handle it carefully, even lovingly
feel a stab of angst the instant it slips from our fingers
and a sense of loss that is close to sorrow
when it shatters on the floor.?

Are all these factors not expressions of consciousness?
of a mutually shared sense of affection?

We love plants.
we know that they have gender and fertilize each other
They share over 90% of our DNA
why should we believe that their lives are unconscious responses
to a mechanical biological  process
unrelated to ours

when we tend to them
bring water
is the joy of bloom not a shared sense of grateful affection.
when we chop down and end the conscious life of a tree
whether for use as fuel to bring heat
or for use in a construction
is there an exchange of conscious affections between us and the tree?
is there a violent trespass?
or can the sacrifice of life be consecrated?

We love animals
we accept many attributes of shared consciousness with them
they exhibit fear and happiness
anger and affection
lust and hunger
yet we slaughter and eat them
without a twinge of consciousness
the grace of consecration for the sacrifice of life
once conscientiously prayed before and after a meal
is forgone

The two vital attributes of conscious evolution
into higher states of self-awareness
are memory
 and Love.

What is the purpose of Consciousness?

Science and Religion in Search of the Same God

The impulse for engaging in spiritual worship
manifest among all peoples
throughout all the Ages of religious discipline
from Animism thru  Zen
is motivated by an intuitive sense of loneliness
a need for reassurance in the cosmic night
and re-union with the Loving Nature
of our Divine Origins

The impulse for engaging in scientific research
manifest among all peoples
throughout all the Ages of technological advances
from Stone Age ax to Nuclear Age microscope
is motivated by an analytical drive
to grasp the extent of the Separation
and understand the reason why we left home in the first place

Internet Dating

If you factor in premature loss of a soul mate
via
accidental death
physical sickness
and divorce
more than 70% of adults in various stages of maturity
are left to either find a new soul mate
or go through the rest of life without a loving witness

finding a compatible mate when the bloom and fun of youth are gone
and adjusting to the crankiness of set habits of a matured partner
is no simple thing
despite the obstacles it remains an emotional need  for most of us

besides sharing the enjoyment of a matching soul in the ups and downs of life
there also are many moral dilemmas that can seriously impact one's peace of mind
a lot are not easy to solve without the input of a tried and trusted consulting partner

in a previous era of small towns
when social relationships were more familiarly connected
and everybody knew everybody
and congregated in churches
in the market
and at party function
making a connection  after the loss of a spouse
and meeting a reasonably compatible new partner
was simply a process of time and circumstance

today
in the migratory society of large cities
with few familiar connections
dating on the internet  has become a billion dollar business
there are literally hundreds of dating sites
finding a partner in virtual reality presents a whole new dimension
in the ancient process of mate selection
not made easier by the fact that a large percent of the members
are predatory scammers.

It would be interesting to hear some comments on this
especially from anybody who has navigated thru cyber space
and made a successful landing on the other side

Custodianship as a National Ideology

Custodianship
Definition

Nobody owns anything
Everybody is responsible for everything

The first nation to get rid of capitalism, communism and socialism
and adopt Custodianship as its social, spiritual and economic ideology
will be the most cost-efficient, morally correct and  peaceful society on the planet

Globalism & Planet Management

Much has been said about the promotion of globalism
with speculation regarding what type of paradigm a new world order would present
very little has been understood
especially in terms of the management of human resources

predictably
since all nations are still locked into the mindset of independent self determination
and those promoting the idea speak from the same culturally indoctrinated position
the response has been hardly enthusiastic
even  negative

There is agreement of sorts on global warming
but so far only independent efforts to try to deal with it
There is also general agreement on zero population growth
one child per family has been implemented as a national policy in China
with very little understanding of its unnatural impact on family values
where female fetus are aborted in favor of males
or the counter-effect on the natural balance of the evolutionary imperative

Everybody looks to the United States of America for leadership
which will not and cannot be forthcoming
while America remains locked in a competitive, profit-seeking, capitalistic mindset

At present the world economy is struggling to halt the slide
into a global depression
like all previous serious down-turns in the market
economists have to assure there will be recovery
and then on to business as usual.

But what if globalism is not simply an idealistic mindset
but part and parcel of the vast cycle of evolutionary changes
that come every time the exponential pressures of population explosions
impact adversely on regional environments
forcing the collective psyche into mass shifts of consciousness
in order to continue the survival imperative?

Four such mass shifts of the collective effort have occurred in our past
each one required a greater union and organization of the collective effort

Stone Age populations spreading across the globe
with family groups cooperated in hunting and gathering in their own territories
were forced eventually by their own survival success  to let go of a day to day existence
surviving on the bounty of Nature
into a chore-based Bronze Age of  agriculture
where extended family cooperation was required in the business of domesticating nature

The population growth of  Bronze Age clans eventually made farm division uneconomical
They were forced into national industrial unions where craftsmanship flowered

Population pressures in successful nations forced them to expand as colonial imperialists
cooperating in international commonwealths

What if there is no recovery from the present international economic recession
no return to business as usual?

Are we not now being forced once again by own own success
and resultant world population pressures
into a 5th Great Shift of the collective psyche
and made to engage in a Nuclear Age of global cooperation?
 
Lets us examine the leading economic force on the planet
and find out if survival is still viable under the present population pressures

The basic managerial fact in the United States
is that a Steel Age of labor and  natural resource expoloitation
in heavy industries, production line factories
and the manufacturing jobs they offered
is largely over
out-sourcing is here to stay
the 3rd world can produce mass goods faster and cheaper

Also
Mechanization has replaced manual labor in almost every sector
Newer machines will encroach even more
and eventually take over all menial labor

Also
A new virtual world of software apps
is dematerializing countless small hardware industries
with the loss of even more jobs

The stark reality that needs to be faced in 1stWorld economies
 is that an era of international trading competition
with national survival based on the capitalization of manufacturing industries
its governments kept viable by consumerism and wage earning tax payers
is no longer feasible

So what is the next move?
What are the parameters that will ensure 1st World survival
How do we mass shift consciousness into a New Age paradigm?

Our major asset
indeed the defining criteria for 1st World Consciousness
is a highly educated populace

We have what the 3rd world wants
genius potential
and its creative fruits

The 1st world  must entertain its survival via a brand new service-based paradigm
what we have to trade is high-end research and development
and the offer of advanced education to the rest of the world

we need to revamp our education system
genius is being stifled in state classrooms that concentrate on left brain analysis
we must adopt the concept of dual brain stimulation
the neglected right brain has been proved to be
the source of creative ideation
spiritual awarness
and a corresponding self-policing of moral behavior

this vast largely untapped spiritual asset of right brain awareness
which used to be the domain of now redundant religious cults
if cultivated in the psyche of a new generation of students side by side with science
it will do away of major supervsiory and policing needs in government

if an ethic of custodianship instead of private ownership and profit seeking
is also cultivated in the new psyche
all that vast beaucratic adminstration of  registrated and legislated laws and regulations
will also be reuduced to a bare minumum
thereby relieving the full national resource of the creative human potential
to actually get on with the building of modernization challenges

healthy family values need to be re-established
the state must invest in home-based/parental guidance education
and give child genius a chance to flower

we must build brand new ergonomic space-age cities for ourselves
an entire city with all its civic needs
accommodation
public and private gardens
stadiums
studios
can be accommodated inside a single high rise structure
with penthouse comfort for every family

new developments in greenhouse technology
means we can farm in high rise buildings
thus in one stoke free the land from urban sprawl
and antiquated farming practices that destroy natural soil life

all energy must be renewable
precious fossil oils must be preserved for plastics and carbon fiber manufacturing
not burned as polluting fuels

we must build advanced universities and polytechs
and import millions of students to learn from us
sharing the new tech with the rest of the world

1st World systems can do all this restructuring and refocusing of objectives internally
by printing domestic currencies for internal exchange
that do not impact on the world bank and world trade
and allow us to lead into a more peaceful 21st Century

Our own graduates can concentrate their genius
on large-scale planet managements projects
1st order of business is a mass cleanup of air, soil and oceans

Ice water from the poles before they melt to irrigate the deserts
Harvest atmospheric and ocean energies
populate and farm the oceans

Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha

As a naturalized American citizen for 32 years
I have always observed American government
as a fluctuating dynamic between masculine and feminine principles

Republican Uncle Sams
and Democratic Aunt Samanthas
the former jingoistic and capitalistic
the latter more compassionate and socialistic

over the years this marriage between the two parties has become increasingly acerbic
its Congress divided on partisan lines and unaccommodating
as a result the American home and child has suffered from neglect accordingly
domestic up-keep is crumbling
the children play video games
and the world is waiting for leadership
it seems the good ol' USA is headed for a nasty divorce
unless compromise is reached

A good marriage must incorporate both dynamics
Aunt Samantha should take over the housekeeping money
and run the domestic policy
Uncle Sam should take care of the borders
protecting international policy

Education vs Indoctrination

Forcing children from the age of four or five
both in state school and at home
to sit behind a desk and train the left side of the brain
to memorize textbooks for five or six hours a day
for twelve years and more
is not only physically, emotionally and mentally unhealthy in the extreme
it ends up as nothing more or less
than a system of cultural indoctrination
it is not education by any pure means of definition

if you leave out the psychological balance
that can only come form an equal concentration on left and right brain exercises
you can turn any half-witted kid into an idealistic fanatic via premature script indoctrination
whether it be religious. communistic or capitalistic
they can be easily pursueded to go to war - holy or otherwise
with anybody who disagrees with their brand of brain wash

28 years ago
I threw out the doctrinaire left brain textbooks
and home schooled both sides of my eight kids brains
via oral-based instruction up until puberty
they learned a chore-based work-ethic in the home
chemistry in the kitchen
maths and craftsmanship in the workshop
biology in the garden
the physics of torque, trajectory and velocity in the playground
social studies via charitable community projects and Television
yoga and meditation drills and exercises every morning

at puberty they got one week instruction in kindergarten reading/riting/rithmatic
and where then left to master the state's academic textbooks themselves
within three months their prose skills
uninhibited by premature instruction in the mechanics of grammar
enriched by a vast oral vocabulary
were astonishingly lucid
they relished the power script composition gave them over time/space, plot and character development
like young gods of their own creation
each wrote a full length science fiction novel within the first year
they swarmed the internet for science information
at age 16 all of them took final year high school state exams
and passed among the top 3% in the nation

they are all self-educated graduates
trained to think things out for themselves
impossible to be coerced by any scripted doctrine
to digress from plain common sense

I am busy writing the HeartStart Dual Brain Home-school manual as we speak
any parent interested is welcome to contact me
