Thanks for the sublime, thorough response to my inquiry. It is fascinating to think that, as you state, in essence, all entities in the universe are interconnected, interdependent, unified, indeed entangled. I know that Robert Lanza is a bit of a maverick within the world of science. Yet, I find his concept of biocentrism exciting because he sees, in Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe, the universe as a creation of consciousness, of, perhaps, a universal network of thoughts, of which we are all a part. Moreover, to him, death does not exist. For instance, he believes that we are, and forever will be, energetic forces of intelligence, of awareness, and that our bodies are just recyclable forms of matter that manage to contain these types of phenomena for a limited period of time. He says, "Until we recognize the universe in our heads, attempts to understand reality will remain a road to nowhere." (Lanza, "Biocentrism", article) It is nice to be welcomed into your community.
