Understanding the Source and Nature of Consciousness and Life

The concept of the subjective evolution of consciousness, as contrasted with the
objective evolution of bodies propounded in Darwin’s hypothesis and other similar

Nature is rather ignored and/or neglected in a science based merely upon bodily or
physical considerations. However, the most current biological research of the 21st
Century demonstrates that the mechanical and chemical laws of physical bodies
cannot account for the sentient behavior that is characteristic of living organisms
even at the sub-cellular bio-chemical level. This calls for a re-examination of the
older systems of knowledge that ground their scientific knowledge on a
sentient/spiritual foundation and how that is related to matter or the material
world.
