To describe the “what”, when answering the question “What are we?”, we must realize that whatever definition we derive, is always dependent upon the observational point we take as the observer. A rock studied with the naked-eye will derive a different definition than one studied under a microscope. That is the nature of observational energies. Energy surrounds our existence, and it is that energy that we observe which we derive conclusions to make sense of it all.
One could say “We are energy in our basic form”, and be just as “right” as someone who garners the more classical definition of us being a biological being. Conformity within the organism created through identity and competing factions within the organism’s structure leads individuals within that grouping of identity to accept the agreed upon narrative and definition to support their version of what is right and what is wrong.
There are infinite ways in which to observe our surroundings, but we are limited to what our internal programming allows. If I were to say, “We are biological machines”, this might garner a reaction that immediately disputes and defeats the notion within your conscious mind; if it goes against your held beliefs. But, if you take it from the prospective that the body is a series of biological processes carried out by differing systems working to achieve a common goal of enabling your shape to take form, then you can begin to see that the observation of us being “machines” makes a little more sense. It is not the “right” answer, but is an observational point for which a description was derived. There are no “right” answers, just competing observations.
This is a daily writing segment for The Codex Primum. These writings are created on this platform and I intend on publishing the finished product somewhere in the future. I am a writer by trade, but these beliefs are where I have found myself. I hope you enjoyed the mental exercise this hopefully evoked, and hopefully this provoked a new train of thought, if even for just a moment. Look for more to come in the following days, and follow me. I want to share this journey with whoever is willing to listen...
