"Avatar" and the Gaia hypothesis

Some thoughts and questions about the Gaia Hypothesis of James Lovelock. "Mars is lifeless," he says, and tells Carl Sagan that, no, life cannot exist there in "oases" of favorable conditions. My question: How then must we see the earth itself? Is our planet an "oasis" in a lifeless solar system? Might not the universe itself be a living organism, if the earth is?

The Earth is imbued with, and surrounded by, The EM Field which resonates in rhythmic hertz (1-69 hz). These waves perfectly correspond with OUR States of Consciousness (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma), which, in turn, perfectly correspond with the waves/rays of light in outer space. If these wave/states don't mean Space/the Earth are Conscious - then they MUST mean we are not Conscious either. We can't have it both ways. The Cosmos is just as ALIVE and KNOWING as are we or nothing is.

@OneLivingRhythm: This is amazing information, about the EM field surrounding earth. I do not remember reading about it. Your argument, that the indications of consciousness in ourselves imply consciousness in the universe, is logically sound. I fully agree.

Thanks for this video. Your thoughts at the end remind me of what Alan Watts said about life, that it, like human meaning and intelligence, is intrinsic to the universe as a whole. This view of a living, intelligent universe stands in contrast to seeing life and human beings as mere flukes.

@component29: Actually, it means they have to admit there's a Goddess, not a god. It's our Mitochondrial Genome, the one we get from ONLY our mothers, that has a Power Generator (Nuclear DNA has none of its own. What power it has it gets from "The Mother".) which must stay in perfect rhythm with the rhythms ("Hertz Beats") of the Cosmos (a.k.a. "The Music of the Spheres") - for our matter to be created and its structure to be supported. The power of our MT- Genome is the SOLE Power of CREATION.

@waterspindle: It is very interesting. That would mean the Earth stays within "The AWAKENED (a.k.a. CONSCIOUS) State" at all times - just as our own AUTONOMOUS functions. :o)

I agree with the possibility that the earth can be part of a much larger organism and also would like to point out that life can exist also at extreme environments (extremophyle organisms). So, although the Earth's atmosphere is predominantly characterised by N, O, Ar, H, etc. life in other planets can exist in forms completely unknown to us, some resembling our extremophyle organisms for instance. My only hope is that we don't find another liveable planet. Messing the earth was + than enough!

@OneLivingRhythm have you looked at Nikola Tesla's 8 Hertz observations of sub surface resonance? it's interesting, IMHO =)

@ThePhantomBlacksmith Thats hypocrisy cause now you are trying to put me on a religious note. That is logically incorrect cause atheism and "science" claimed more than enough death tolls too. The only logical conclusion is that humans kill, not religion, not science, not atheism. Always the humans.

As for "fact" over "fiction". What do you call facts? The morsel of information we collected from our surrounding? That cant explain anything that points past matter, but refuses to admit that?

[ThePhantomBlacksmith]

@Aerensiniac It's an idea and maybe a good one. That doesn't make it the Truth though...I guess we'll see. I would modify your statement to Science screaming "you are stupid and we've been forced to swallow your bullshit for two thousand years on pain of death!" I love a good warm and fuzzy speculation, but I'll take fact over fiction any day.

[Aerensiniac]

@ThePhantomBlacksmith Science backs away from everything that is not solid matter and cannot be measured, directed, handled and/or contained in specific situations. Basically its atheism. You try and imply that there is something more than matter, such as a god, conciousness, soul, essence of life [...] etc and the dear science shuts all his eyes, ears and starts screaming like: YOU ARE STUPID AND I CANT HEAR YOU.

The gaea thesis is a memorable idea. One that creates balance.

[kitchenwitch2008]

Quantum Physics is showing us (in mathematical terms) that everything is energy. Matter, in whatever form, is energy. Right now there is an energy crisis on Earth. If the Universe has a consciousness, and we are tipping the balance, then we are a cancer. We need to adapt to a different kind of world. When we first evolved, the world was live or die. Now, many believe in life after death. We broke the Circle Of Life?

Cosmic Consciousness is closer to God. There are heavens all around us in space.

7:58 - end: yes, of course.

The long and short of discussion of all such speculations (or obvious realities from some exceptional beings) is the mind body problem. My own take is idealistic, because there can be no "whole" without a mind, however primitive, which apprehends the whole. Dead parts don't apprehend anything, let alone themselves as parts of any whole. There being no whole or interaction without mind, there is no complexity without mind. Hence no arising of mind from complexities.
