dawei Posted March 15, 2016 The thing that shaped human being from ape was that the climate cooled (due to position of solar system around galaxy) and large fruits and nuts contracted into seeds like those of wild grasses and small pulses (beans). I'm seeing other beings are involved.. and not just from this realm. Like a Windows 10 Upgrade... yes, Microsoft is from another realm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The human form emerged as a reflection of the Universe at large, which, in certain terms, can then be viewed as a macrocosmic "human". So many creation myths from cultures around the planet tell us this; and all the esoteric traditions share this knowledge. Thus, the Kabbalah talks of Adam Kadmon, in astrology you have the Melothesic Man spread throughout the zodiac, and Paracelsus talks of the Man as Mikrokosmos, and of the Cosmos as Makroanthropos. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vonkrankenhaus Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Interesting that you mention Venus. It seems to me that there may have been life and even human life on Venus in the distant past. Because I see the solar system as a spiral and not just circles. And since the solar system travels through space, it will encounter periods of contraction, expansion, and stasis. Proto-planets are forming at the periphery. And eventually contracting in towards the Sun. Which means Venus may have been where Earth is now. And mars will be where Earth is now in the future. As it moves towards the Sun (measure in billions of years) Mars will heat up and expand, releasing water to the surface and starting "plate techtonics". It is possible that developed life on Venus journeyed to Earth like we are planning to do now with Mars. This would explain legends of ancient space travellers. -VonKrankenhaus Edited March 15, 2016 by vonkrankenhaus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humans have definitely appeared on Earth as formed by the Sun. And may be in other similar systems. But not just hanging out in space, not inside microbes, not inside atoms - not where this doen't have relevance. Not if these forms have determined human structure. In space, the structures relevant would be forming something pre-human, before the human structure - an earlier (and much later) stage of what goes into evolution of life. The human form appears just before the human appears. And not elsewhere for no reason. -VonKrankenhaus Edited March 15, 2016 by vonkrankenhaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Sternbach Posted March 15, 2016 These diagrams show the correspondence between the zodiac (itself an expression of the Sun-Earth relationship) and the human form.

Marblehead Posted March 15, 2016 I would accept the suggestion that primitive life did exist on Mars before it lost its atmosphere and then its liquid water. I can't accept the Venus thing though. I haven't seen anything that would suggest there ever was life. If that's the case then perhaps women are from another solar system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Sternbach Posted March 15, 2016 It is possible, of course, that higher-dimensional beings (angels and/or extraterrestrials that have evolved to high levels) played a role in the evolution of our ape-like ancestors toward the universal form of the human being. Just like the alchemist in his laboratory is causing matter to evolve to a higher form. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But not the entire human form. That full human form only appears right where the actual full human appears. So we cannot expect to see full human form in an atom, nor between galaxies. Before and after that time and place, only parts of that form are existing. When "parts" assemble, the more complete form emerges, then the physicalization of that full form. Life has evolved into that form here. "Parts" can be called "characteristics". "As above, so below" is accurate, not just a platitude or generic. -VonKrankenhaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And like we are planning to do now with Mars, maybe they went to the Earth. This would be about a billion years ago. Do you not think that current or near-future humans will bioengineer the existing life on Mars when they go there? Life will happen on Mars when it gets close enough to the Sun like Earth is now. The core will heat up. Water will flow out to the surface. Plate techtonics will begin. -VonKrankenhaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrei Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Life will happen on Mars when it gets close enough to the Sun like Earth is now. That is not true. Life happens on Earth because Earth has a molten iron core that rotates producing eddy currents. These eddy currents produce the magnetic field which is different than the gravitational field. All planets have gravitational field but not many have magnetic field. The magnetic field acts like a shield for the Sun radiation and the water on Earth stays on the surface of the planet. If there would not be the magnetic shield the water would evaporate and be lost into space, which is what happened with the water on Mars. Mars because was smaller than Earth cooled down faster than Earth and the core of Mars now is solid. I personally believe that water from Mars was hanging out in orbit as ice particles that ultimately were captured by Earth gravitational field. Again, life on Earth is possible just because the core of Earth is still hot at very high temperature and it didn't cooled down yet. But what is even more amazing is that the molten core of the Earth did not belong to Earth at the beginning, it belonged to another planet that had a collision with Earth many ages ago. That planet had an iron core and due to the friction of the collision the iron melt and became the core of the new formed planets, Earth and Moon. In conclusion, Mars probably had life in the past when had liquid water on the surface but since the planet dried up the life disappeared and it will not be possible again because water will just evaporate from the surface of the planet. Humans may live there artificially by mining ice or producing water from hydrogen and oxygen but it won't be a closed system so amazingly tuned as the Earth.

That core will heat up when Mars enters the "sweet spot" in the solar system. Which is about where Earth is now. At that time, approximately 1.5 billion years, Mars will start expanding. And will attain all characteristics of Earth now.

I was pointing out that you said planets 'contained' concepts - which is to suggest a kind of intrincissm. Existence is existence, a thing is a thing and entities are what they are, but human conception is-so far as we know-a uniquely human trait. So, yes, planets absolutely have an objective existence despite human perception and consciousness of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also interesting that, despite our using field theory, we still have no definition for a field. I think this is a major omission in scienctific research that we have abandoned.

dust Posted March 15, 2016 Life has certainly evolved. Is, certainly, evolving -- right now. Evolution is evident. That we, the human species, evolved from 'simpler' lifeforms is evident. I like to argue with people and contradict theories, but I don't see any need for discussion on evolution. I do not say it is proven, but it is evident. It makes such absolute sense, I do not see how anyone can seriously believe that it is "not true". The question then becomes: where/how did life, and evolution, begin? Well, I'd argue that it began right here. One can say that it came from "outer space", but in relation to anywhere else in the universe, we are in outer space right now. Whether it began right here or on another planet seems irrelevant, and impossible to know for sure. But it seems to me that this planet, having the perfect constitution for nourishing life, is as perfect as any other place in the universe for the conception of it. Why assume that it came from elsewhere? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
