Abstract
“God
is the light of the world and may his light shine before all” (Mathew 5: 14-16).
The creator is the symmetric light which gave rise to asymmetric matter along
with abundant cosmic energy that currently resides in the matrix of the
universe; for the symmetry was broken with the big bang to create the universe.
In the physical world, matter gave rise to biological structures to possess the
electromagnetic soul and its processes; a localized form created of the cosmic
energy, we call the Spirit. Eternal cosmic energy is the source that supports
the localized cloud of photons or the electromagnetic soul within temporary
matter; propagates information across the systematic biological make up of
matter; a key to the phenomenon of consciousness within the physical. Matter if
corrupted or altered, leads to an imbalance in the life processes which can be healed
with support from the eternal cosmic energy, as a healer for the soul. God is
light; and in him there is no darkness (John 1: 1-5); for the creation was
created of this light; filling the cosmos with the Spirit. Thus, we may know
the ‘how’ of creation of the universe, its matter and its consciousness, but
the ‘why’ shall remain eternally phenomenal.

Metaphysics of Light and Matter
God
said, “Let there be light”: and there was light (Genesis 1:3). If this chapter
of Genesis was written by a physicist, this statement would have read as – God
said, “Let there be electromagnetic radiation”: and there was electromagnetic
radiation, an asymmetry beyond imagination. Michio Kaku, puts it in much more
scientific manner, “In the beginning, God said that
the four dimensional divergence of an antisymmetric second rank tensor equals
zero and there was light”, and “there was light, and it was good “(Kaku 2006). According to the “Philosophy of
Illumination” as stated by Suhrawardi, light is the producer for all forms and
operates at all levels; produces immaterial intellects such as angels, souls of
living beings and the body (Walbridge 2000). According to the Koran, 'Allah is
the light of the heavens and the earth,' and which also correlates with ancient
Hindu writings, 'Lead me from darkness to light, lead me from the unreal to the
real.' (Surat An-Nur 24:35; Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 1.3.28.). The creator that
we humans call ‘God’ is the symmetric form of light; the cosmic energy; the
creator of matter and all of matter and the universe; the asymmetric forms of
light.
The
creation began with the formation of the most primitive energy form; the cosmic
energy that gave rise to asymmetric matter in a phenomenal event differing the
law of matter and anti-matter annihilation. This gave rise to forms such as electromagnetic
radiation, an important ingredient of life; for he knew that there would not be
life without an energy source. Connected through energy and with the energy
that resides within can make us understand each of our desires, to understand
the created universe and to appreciate its beauty (Pereira 2015). Electromagnetic
radiation is a primitive form of energy and currently our knowledge and use of this
energy is need-based, just like the brain; we use it only to the limit of our
requirement (Fenchel 2003). Electromagnetic radiation is an energy source that
has great potential and was created, so that it could be utilized by every living
creature in this universe to perform tasks beyond imaginations powered by the
cosmic energy. This radiation is mediated by the electromagnetic force
generated by photons; small packets of energy that hit an atom to excite
electrons from a ground state to a excited state and bring about a cascade of
excitations and relaxations, a process known as the ‘photoelectric effect’
(Cassidy 2004).
Matter
is a form of asymmetric light and is made up of atoms, which are comprised of
sub-atomic particles. The living being is a form of organized matter that is
shaped and designed by atoms and sub-atomic particles. The creator, the physicist,
the symmetric form of light, created matter which can never be altered or
changed, created or destroyed, but can definitely be transformed from one form
to another. Every living being, is made up of matter; with matter forming the
biological structures and eternal matter its driving force along with the
cosmic energy. The architecture of the being and its biological structures are said
to be complete, only when all the structures, pathways and its contents are appropriately
shaped and perfected to acknowledge the eternal matter to propagate life and
the Spirit. “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit,
who is in you, whom you have received from God and that you are not your own?
(Corinthians 1: 6:19).
Metaphysics of Existence
Life
exists, because of the creation of asymmetric matter and guidance is provided
to every living being by means of the Spirit through matter (Corey 1993), for
everything is matter other than God and the Spirit, according to the Thomistic
philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Phillips 2015); here the Spirit is the
cosmic energy while within the physical body resides as photons; the
electromagnetic soul. Matter has weight, occupies space and can be touched and
measured, which does not apply to the Spirit, who are immortal; non-physical.
In the old testament, Moses said, “And the Lord your God spoke to you out of
the midst of the fire; ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude;
ye only heard a voice” (Deuteronomy 4:12) this has been confirmed in the new
testament by Jesus, who defines God as “Ye have neither heard his voice at any
time, nor seen his shape; for God has no form or shape” (John 5:37). Eternal
matter is the soul; an incorruptible form of energy created from asymmetric
matter and made up of a blend of photons of scores of wavelengths, supported
and guided by the cosmic energy we call Spirit; the eternal symmetric light.
Temporary
matter is susceptible to corruption, which will result in slow decay of the
matter when in an undesired state, eventually leading to death or release of
the electromagnetic soul to the non-physical form. For Aquinas, temporary
matter is a biological structure, vulnerable to corruption and dissolution, as
they are composed of materialistic things (Fitzpatrick 2013). A corrupted
temporary matter can be healed by the electromagnetic soul but up to a certain
threshold, in case the damage is beyond repair, it would lead to death and liberation
of the electromagnetic soul. Ageing is also a form of programmed corruption
that is guided by the electromagnetic soul and increases with multicellularity,
which is a price paid to reduce entropy (Navratil 2011, Bortz 1986). When the
interaction is new, it is highly energetic and effervescent, but with age, this
interaction starts becoming insubstantial as the electromagnetic soul strives to
keep up with the corrupting biological structures, which in due course is released
on death. All temporary matter emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of
photons, which unite with the overall electromagnetic soul or eternal matter to
be reprocessed. Biophotons or ultra weak photons (UPE) are persistently being
emitted in the visible and ultraviolet spectrum from biological systems (Cifra
et al 2015) and increase in amounts during stress (Rahnama et al 2011).
God
does not decide fate; God guides the process of evolution that decides the fate
of living beings. Henry Laurency wrote in “The Knowledge of Reality”, “The
great cosmic evolution does not work according to a predetermined plan. Only
the final gal is laid down; all monads acquiring omniscience about the whole
cosmos and evolution itself creates the conditions and possibilities of its
growth” (Laurency 1979). Higher intelligence, leads to higher disorder and is considered
as higher entropy in the laws of physics and with evolution the life cycle of intelligent
beings is abridged; a price paid to reduce entropy (Wissner-Gross and Freer
2013). Amoeba proteus is a protozoan that is considered to be immortal, as it
never dies, but it transforms from one form to another (Obstfeld 1996). This protozoan
has the capability of transferring its soul during its biological life cycles,
which is definitely a property lost with multicellularity and intelligence. Intelligent
and multicellular beings have a higher dependency on the electromagnetic soul
for their life processes, as compared to a unicellular organism and therefore, the
creator has created superfluous amounts of cosmic energy in the universe, for it
was known at some point of time, consciousness would promote evolution of
higher and intelligent beings, which would lead to higher entropic changes. The
creator for sure is a planned biophysicist; the one who created all it.
Life
is an acquaintance created by the confederation of the electromagnetic soul and
the biological make-up of temporary matter and its complexity, gives rise to local
consciousness, which grows and helps to grow with the evolution of
multicellularity and division of labour. The plan of the creator is one without
any flaws and if ever there is a flaw it would not be considered as one, as the
creator and the Spirit are non-local, pure and incomparable to immaterialistic
bound matter. Everything is
good and everything was created from goodness to be good and to remain good,
all that needs to be grasped is the goodness that resides in the cosmos and within
us (Pereira 2016).
Metaphysics of Consciousness
To
be conscious means to be aware, and to be aware means to perceive; a facet created
by the creator, by intermingling matter with matter. Propagation and
interaction of the electromagnetic soul with the biological make-up of
temporary matter generates localized consciousness; a sense of awareness used
as a support system by living beings to perform valuable life processes.
Consciousness generates knowledge through perception, which is displayed by living
beings as intelligence (Gregory 1997). Biological structures help build a level
of intelligence in living beings which grows with multicellularity and division
of labour (Kuyucu et al 2010). According to psychiatrist Richard Bucke, level
of consciousness differs with intelligence, higher the intelligence greater is
the level of awareness of the universe (Bucke 1905) which has been deciphered
by Hameroff and Penrose in their “ORCH OR’ theory (Hameroff and Penrose 2014). The
creator created the electromagnetic soul fed by the cosmic energy, to guide the
flow of consciousness through biological structures and to maintain its uniformity
during the process of evolution, for the creator was aware of the new multifarious
structures that were in the progression of being created.
Intelligence
is knowledge gained through awareness or consciousness and is present in all
living forms with or without a neural system but can be differentiated based on
the complexity of multicellularity. A single biological cell is intelligent,
but a collection of cells, demonstrates higher intelligence, which can be
observed in bacterial biofilms when compared to the nervous system (Westerhoff
et al 2014). As per the plan, the electromagnetic soul propagated consciousness,
which helped build structures or organs with a higher level of intellectual
capability like the brain. During the course of evolution, intelligence in beings
was limited to nutrition and survival, which then focused on reproduction and
now is dependent on the brain, which manages all functions in higher beings
(Nunn et al 2014). Today, the human brain is the smartest organ known and is
constantly evolving towards a level of superior performance to support complex
cognitive functions (Bressler and Menon 2010). But despite the complex architecture
in the brain and its multicellularity, the key to intelligence and
consciousness stays with the irreplaceable interaction of the localized electromagnetic
soul and temporary matter but is yet to be understood from a non-local
stand-point.
Corruption
of temporary matter prevents the propagation of the electromagnetic soul, leading
to an obstruction of consciousness and bereavement of intelligence. According
to Socrates, “The soul is not the sort of thing that can have intrinsic
principles of deterioration or corruption” (Plato 428BC-348BC) for it is
eternal matter, while Plato explains the body as a hindrance to the pursuit of
wisdom (Phaedo, 61C-69E), which can be subjected to corruption and
deterioration. Corruption can therefore be healed by the electromagnetic soul
guided by the Spirit; the eternal cosmic energy, but in case the damage is
beyond repair, it leads to death, and releases the electromagnetic soul that
merges with the non-local cosmic energy. During this process, there is high
state of excitation and release of photons, which is an attempt of revival of
consciousness by the electromagnetic soul and wholly depends on the level of
change exhibited by the temporary matter.
Conclusions
Several
years after the creation of life, Jesus described God as “I am the light of the
world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light
of life”. The electromagnetic soul was created from the cosmic energy, to guide
eternal matter and propagate local consciousness, for it was known, that consciousness
was needed to be transmitted across the biological architecture for life to
exist; it needs to travel speeds greater than that of light. In the process, the
creator created a localized unicellular quantum based system, that eventually evolved
to form a multicellular quantum based system which now processes and functions
at speeds beyond imagination, maintaining a higher cognitive state of
performance. In actuality, the non-local world is in itself superluminal and in
fact slows down when trapped in matter, to control consciousness and
intelligence.
