They acknowledge this is an important question for biologists because “a universally accepted definition for life does not exist.” Science, of course, has no idea that viruses possess consciousness, and, indeed, the issue of whether consciousness is present in life forms other than human beings is seriously debated. And even human consciousness is dismissed by some prominent scientists as being just a secondary consequence of brain chemical and electrical activity and perhaps just a “lucky accident” of evolution, more a fluke than a driving force. Are these views really the reverse of reality? Is the existence and expression of consciousness a universal property that defines whether something is alive? Is fundamental “life force energy” coming from the higher spiritual plane, which gives the spark of life, a special form of consciousness?ClosedNicola asked 3 days ago • Non-Local Consciousness20 views0 answers0 votesPhysical matter, like rocks and bodies of water, have consciousness sufficient to perceive their surroundings and have thoughts. Is it because they are aggregates of energy that they have perceptions and can think, or are atoms, subatomic particles and all forms of energy, such as light, electricity, and magnetism possessed of consciousness with the same potentials? Are these energies alive? What is Creator’s perspective about defining whether something is alive?ClosedNicola asked 3 days ago • Non-Local Consciousness28 views0 answers0 votes
