After viewing many Levin videos, I still don't know the answer to the question: where is the template/target pattern/setpoint stored. and in what form?Andrew Palfreyman:
My sense is a qualitative whole that is in some sense translated through self-structuring water (that includes nano & molecular phase changes or actions & events) - as the contextual domain of bio-field that stores energy & information for the local biological embodiment of a non-local qualitative field.
I am speaking intuitively here but not without looking at a broad spectrum of informational perspectives.
There was once a belief in vital force that assumed bio-electric to be of a different order to that of non living physics. This vitalism was associated with a God that had imbued life into matter, and it has been cast out of orthodox thinking to a mechanical reductionist view that is thus free to 'play god' over life as 'mechanical processes' hence the human lab-specimen of today's bio-assets. But the error was a God separate from the unfolding, extension or explication of qualities (spiritual) to quantifiable form - or rather to visibility and tangibility that can be in many ways mapped and measured. This implicit self-aware quality is non local, while our assumed or 'front end' consciousness is expressing in temporal-spatial specificity or particulars - that is, our life and world experience.
The feedback loops within such a creation (of definition-result) have a self-reinforcing focus and continuity as part of the desire and development of consciousness within a field of pure or infinite potentials. In that sense 'Mental' or Idea, but not in any sense linear conceptual representations (drawn from the results of living Idea).
Rather than mechanise life, why not vitalise a living Universe? Nothing need be done to it but stepping out of a Cartesian conflict that split knower from known; creator from event & mind from thought - such as to become trapped in and subject to our own thoughts, projections and systems of predictive control.
Well we cant Really be trapped by thought but relative to a point that temporarily matters more to us than Reality (which doesn't go anywhere while we persist our pet projects or self-illusions).
That which informs is upstream/higher level or prior to form (or formed result).
This is also called within, but not in terms of autopsy!
Within any given moment is Infinity expressed - what are we receiving?
Or should I say what are we giving active focus to in any given moment?
And why - or to serve what function?
At the qualitative level I see value fulfilment.
In embodied terms this translates as growth - but of a nature that includes and embraces what we would call death or destruction.
Transience is itself both out of each other - but the that is the movement over the waters - not the desire for Creating out of a unity or infinity point.
By giving is receiving. But in current human terms Garbage in; garbage out!
