Life is granted. Life Lab presents you fundamental insights on the principle and processes of LIFE. Life Lab peers into the Blind Spot of Science: it shows you how LIFE, LOVE, CONSCIOUSNESS & HEALTH all interconnect; and how they connect with you, and creation. This Blog Space offers you tools to realise that Reality is a Realisation, and that what you thing and feel, what you are, matters.

Life

Life is often taken for granted.
In fact: it is granted.

However: life is more integrated with matter than many people know.
This Blog has been set up to share and compare some fundamental concepts of life.

This is the first fundamental notion:

Life, Live, Consciousness and Matter are the same.

Hm, not all people will be able to agree: it requires some deeper insight in the concept of creation.

To see how matter is consciousness (thus, conscious) requires a revisiting of creation.
This is how the myth of creation is formulated by science:

1) Big Bang
This is a moment of dimensional inversion. This takes place in Phase Space only. (Big Bang is silent ...) As there is no matter in existence at this time, this part of creation is metaphysical only, and transcends our capacity for description and understanding. The reason for this is simple: our consciousness is made up of, and functions within, the level that is here being described. Compare our thinking in consciousness to waves in a fluid. In this case we are now at the level of description before there is a fluid in a bowl; before there is even a bowl to contain a fluid.
2) Lightning Cloud
Immediately after the dimensional inversion (known as Big Bang) the universe is in a state of phase reorganisation; which is only seemingly chaotic. (Like the development of the embryo, it is highly organised dynamic.) In this stage of cosmogenesis (the emergence of the cosmos) there is no matter as yet, but there is the interchange between photons and electrons. (Electrons are photons going around in circles; the change is in their motions, not in their nature.) This is the phase where the universe is like a cloud of lightning (which was called feathered snake or Thunderbird and so on in the various cultures). Electromagnetism is the now common term.
3) Star Drops
The next phase is when the condensed cloud of lightning precipitates in drops: the stars. The energy that manifested in phase two forms into drops, due to which the processing of information - which was with lightning speed - can 'loop back' in itself; and make more and more compex patterns of coherence. This is where Electromagnetism turns into Chemistry, and Molecules form our of Atoms. Not only has the universe become more tangible, but it also manifest - at the large scale of its existence as a whole - relationships and patterns which were not explicit before. Where the Lightning cloud is comparable to the process of thinking, the Stars are so to say the forms of the thoughts; compare it to the place of nerves in our brain. Likewise galaxies and stars are manifestation of phase state organisation; say, a form of thinking.
4) Planet Life
Then Star Drops congeal. Earth, for example, is a Drop of Sun, of which only the thin crust of surface is 'frozen over'. This is the first time (for us) that anything in the universe can be experienced as Physics. Before then, there was only Chemistry, Electromagnetism, Information. The whole sequence of phase transitions whows ever more dense forms of information: 1) Information, 2) Energy, 3) Time, 4) Space. The next sequence of development was that of Minerals becoming Plants becoming Animals such as Humans. What we experience in our human being (our body integrates information with matter) is simple an expression of what pre-existed before. It simply changes shape (phase of manifestation), not in principle (form of information).
  • This is the fundamental principle of creation.
What we experience as Life, existed already before. Love is the connectedness that preserves creation during all its phases of manifestation. It merely changes form of materialisation, as manifestation became more dense and intense. Computer technology simply shows, makes explicit, what we already know. Computer science simply shows how we, ourselves, function. Computers serve as mirror. In that same sense we serve as mirrors of/for the universe as a whole. What we experience within us, was likewise already pre-existing in the whole universe. We simply manifest the underlying principles in, yet, another way. Not our experience stands central or is universal. It is the other way around: what we see and experience within us, is part of the universe as a whole. As some say: we are manifestations of god; indeed it is so. As others say: we are representation of god on Earth; and indeed that too is so. But it helps if people stop calling god names and telling god what to do (by telling others what god does, or does not do): god is simply the word that we need to describe the integrity of the universe as a whole. It is that same universal integrity that we are part of, and of/for which we are a manifestation/representation. In that sense, yes: you are the representation of god on Earth; yep: you are pope. So what; so are we all. Now let's do it; be godly and take care of Earth. The crux of the matter is that all of the universe is one and connected, We can understand the principles; we can understand them and share our understanding with others. We can actually apply it in our life and way of living. But we need to inderstand that our life is an expression of the way the universe functions. And learn to act upon, and live by, that understanding.
  • It is for thát reason that thís BlogSpace, LifeLab has been created. It presents the integrated integrity of Life, Live, Consciousness and Health (the blind spot of science).
  • It is an invitation for you to join in; for us all to join in, and together, come together and get ourselves together, and take on - and take it upon us - to accept the response-ability for loving life and caring for creation.
This we can do because our consciousness matters.
What we think, affect the universe around us.
Not just by what we think, but already by what we think and feel.
That is based on the way the universe as a whole is created. It, and we, are manifestation of information in creation.

To recaputulate these four phases of materialisation of consciousness (as a metaphor):
  1. First there is nothing but an intention; this is the phase of meta-physics, the state of pure information.
  2. Then there is the bowl: the phase of energy, with a capacity for manifestation, but as yet without form.
  3. Then there is the fluid in the bowl, the capacity for thinking without, as yet, specific thoughts.
  4. Finally there is the waves on the surface of the fluid in the bowl. Only then can it become clear that what is seen in the waves (thought) was already implied in the fluid (consciousness) which was already implied in the bowl (life), which was possible, as can be seen in retrospect only, in the void (consciousness) that unknowably existed already before.
