Nicola Staff asked 2 years ago
We would say that all cancers create cellular memory complications and problems. This is because any physiological impairment will affect the consciousness of the cells and tissues involved. This is unavoidable because everything is conscious, and as consciousness has a kind of oversight function, it will have its finger on the pulse, so to speak, and will know when the cells are troubled, when they are stressed, when they are impaired in some way and out of alignment and becoming dysfunctional. And then the further disarray causes a further dysfunction and impairment that compounds the insult and things can get quite serious, leading to serious consequences including programmed cell death, when it is sensed the cell has outlived its usefulness or become a danger to the self because of the abnormalities that have developed in function. There can also be a sharing of dysfunction through mimicry, in a sense, telegraphing one's neighbors a kind of model behavior that is connected to the physical level of the cell and its workings, because cellular memory can serve as guidance, oversight, and control to varying degrees in what the cells are doing in the moment. This is normally a benefit because it keeps a lot of things going on autopilot, so to speak, and it helps orchestrate a coordination of function. This is particularly true in organs with a makeup of many differing cell types and complex tissue architecture, all of which needs to work in a coordinated fashion to carry out its roles in the body. Science is aware of how complex some organs are, and still far from appreciating the level of orchestration needed to keep things running smoothly. It is not all done via chemical signals, for example, that are the consequence of gene expression taking place to create a protein messenger that must diffuse and interact with a cellular receptor, either within the cell itself, or on the cell membrane of neighboring cells, and so on. While those mechanisms are richly abundant as an aspect of human physiology as well as in many, many, other organisms, there is an overlay of instructions given by cellular memory, the consciousness within the cell, that energetically impinges and causes gene expression changes and other biochemical processes to be triggered, to be regulated in various ways, to start, stop, change intensity, and so on. This should not be surprising, as there are many aspects of the workings of the body still quite mysterious. Because even when genetics and physiology have been studied intensively and much worked out with respect to various things that can impinge on a target organ, such as signals from the nervous system, glandular hormonal triggers, or stress responses impinging, there are a vast number of interchanges and a cascade of events of tremendous complexity that must be orchestrated somehow to bring it into a coordinated sequence. This is much like a symphony being conducted to produce a series of changes that can be interpreted and understood as a kind of experience with a meaning and not a cacophony of disjointed signals that would not be understood or produce a meaningful series of subsequent consequences, but rather chaos that would never work productively. So, many things would happen but nothing would get done and the body would likely become incapacitated, in effect, seizing up. So in cancer, one of the chief problems is the sharing of instructions to bypass checkpoints on cell proliferation and, as science has well recognized, when that happens proliferation can, in some cases, produce sizable tumors with shocking rapidity, and even a surgical extirpation may have a low likelihood of success in gaining even much time prior to a return to the former state of affairs where large tumors spring up again quite quickly with a very aggressive tumor growth. In this case, one of the driving forces for this happening is the sharing of information so that small changes can multiply with the crosstalk, so that eventually, cells have multiple genetic mutations that result. And this is when a true state of malignancy can become dangerous and not just a local aberration that will be phased out through normal cell turnover and housekeeping functions. Many cellular abnormalities are of no consequence because the aberrant cells are detected by oversight through the immune system and natural killer cells destroy them before anything happens on a macro scale. So the idea of intercellular communication via cellular memory is a very significant and dangerous acceleration, potentially, in what can happen to grow and spread inner discord and turn something local into a global catastrophe.
