BBELLA: Speaking of eternal, intelligent energy, if there is such, and science tends to lean to the side there is, then how can that eternal intelligence be removed from any thing that is? If in fact this hypothesis is true, how can eternal intelligence be bottled, labeled and sold as separate entities such as planet, water, dog, bird, air, space etc,? What I am asking is, can intelligent energy be separated from itself? I think Sheldrake's work says no, it can't. Our eye says yes it can be separated since all things are separate, but is science removing that veil and revealing the truth?-DAVID: My conclusion has always been unshaken that God is a universal consciousness both within and without the universe and literally is a part of everything. Species consciousness, one of Sheldrake's pet ideas fits this very well, and his research shows that species consciousness exists.-I don't think science tends to lean to the side of eternal intelligent energy, if by that you mean a single universal mind as David imagines it. I don't even know if science is leaning to the side of eternal energy, since some scientists still think the universe began with the Big Bang and there was nothing before it. However, if the three of us agree on eternal energy, we can discuss it between ourselves. Where we do not agree is that eternal energy has been eternally intelligent. As an alternative to this inexplicable hypothesis of David's, I have suggested that eternal energy has eternally transmuted itself into matter, and intelligence has inexplicably evolved through matter. This means that although energy is everywhere, intelligence is indeed divided up precisely as you describe: in zillions of entities. This would also fit in with Sheldrake (species consciousness is not the same as universal consciousness), but it dispenses with the idea of a single intelligence designing and manipulating the universe and everything in it.
