This is an extremely long essay By a computer expert who also quotes from the Kabbalah. I can reproduce only a little, but He convers the way I think about the Creation and the place of information and consciousness in the scheme of things:-https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/information-connecting-two-sides-reality-gutman-levitan?trk=prof-post-Humanity has not been provided with complete design documentation of the universe and with a clear reason: whatever scientists discover, engineers use for development of a deadlier weapon. For the sake of survival, the state of our knowledge needs to be in balance with the state of our morality. So we've got Scripture long before the nuclear bomb. Facing the nature as the end product of creation, physicists, chemists and biologists are working hard in order to figure out decisions made on higher levels of the world design. In a sense, they are looking for source code of the universe though many of them still believe that the universe was not created but just happened accidentally.-***-Bio-information that has been found in nature in 20th century doesn't fit well in the doctrine of materialism. Nevertheless in 21st century the information is studied by scientists including those who are materialists, as money is widely accepted without questioning its source.-***-Meanwhile information written on a material carrier, such as organic molecules, is just a tip of data iceberg existing beyond the man-made realm. Most of universe information is loaded on a spaceless spiritual carrier that is invisible via physical instruments. Reverse engineering of spiritual world advances understanding of design, communication and control in the universe. This, in turn, allows to catch a glimpse on mysteries of life and information-related issues of world creation.-Whereas this article is about information rather than critique of materialism, it shows that a world view that rejects existence of spiritual side of reality is hindering understanding of modern physics, biology and computer science.-***-Information exists in both conscious and unconscious modes. In a conscious source, information exists as a thought expressed in a language and in a conscious destination, as the thought induced by the language expression. In unconscious source and unconscious destination information exists as a language expression loaded on a carrier. The existential mode depends on the carrier. Any physical or chemical carrier, such as radio waves, computer memory or organic molecules, is not conscious by definition. On the other hand, a spiritual carrier, such as human mind, can be either conscious or unconscious.-Consciousness is consciousness, neither matter nor energy nor information. It is a spiritual phenomenon observed as the ability to feel, specifically, to feel meaning of information. A thought is a kind of feeling that can be expressed in a language. -***-Transforming the mode of information from the spiritual to the physical and vice versa the energy drives a meaningful growth, functioning and reproduction of everything that is live according to information written on the energy. When, for example, a plant dies it doesn't grow anymore and doesn't produce oxygen from carbon dioxide.- In the sense of making difference between what is live and what is not the proto-physical energy has been known as “vital” energy from time immemorial. However in the 20th century the concept was abandoned as inappropriate for materialism.-The relationship between the world creation plan and creation itself is similar to relationship between design and production. Whereas design is a top-down process that starts with a statement of purpose and ends with description of all product components, production is a bottom-up process that starts with manufacturing of parts and ends with assembling of entire product. Respectively, creation of material world starts with emergence of elementary particles. On the other hand, scientists are studying first matter as the most obvious natural phenomena, then energy as less obvious and so they proceed in a direction opposite to the advance of creation. In this sense science is reverse engineering of creation.-***-Probably the emergence of electromagnetism, which includes visible light, is the point where spirituality has disappeared but matter has not come into existence yet. This is why the important event is included in the Genesis account: And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. (Genesis 1:3).-***-Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon of space independence discovered in physics of elementary particles. It should be noted that particles themselves are not space-independent but some of their properties are or, more precisely, can be under certain conditions. Apparently this is a residue of spirituality in early forms of physical energy that precede emergence of matter.-Comment: I've skipped a great deal to give a smattering of his approach
