I was reviewing a recently published virology text and saw their discussion of the continuing controversy about whether viruses, despite having some characteristics of life forms, are actually alive. 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?582 views0 answers0 votes
