Cell Memories (Identity)

You can't have it both ways: independent 'intelligent cells' only show biochemical communication at our level of reality. To do what you want they must be operating at a quantum level carrying the consciousness that the article shows might be present. But if quantum consciousness is what is going on at their level, then they are joined by a universal consciousness which is what I propose. What underlies our perceived reality is the quantum world. To me it is obvious that a "concealed God" is hidden there and creates the reality we have. I'm sure He is smiling at our efforts to understand this. Think of poor Ruth.->dhw: If the stories are to be believed (and why shouldn't they be?), memories and characteristics are stored in the cells. So do they "escape" from the dead cells, in some form of non-material energy? This would mean that the identity which emerges from the cells, even when we are alive, is non-material (= substance dualism). Is this what you believe?->[David] With universal consciousness pervading everything, yes I can believe.-This is getting near to how I view the intelligent cell. As you say above, David, "with universal consciousness pervading everything", it is understandable that the will of the ALL is carried out within and without all things, albeit the Quantum level. As for cell memory, it also makes sense to me that if certain cells never die because they were transplanted from one person to another that the first persons cells would holographically carry the memories of that person. When the memory of water is taken into account, it only makes sense the cellular liquid within the cell carries memories, since we are 75-95% water.
