The Cosmic Snail and the Mind
Science, do you mean real science?
The one that says the end was
Already in the beginning
That’s what I mean.
This is yet to be discovered.
“Einstein published, in 1905, his famous articles in the scientific journal ‘Annalen der Physik’, where only a few scientists and with difficulties could understand something”; I publish my articles on the Web, on Facebook, on Twitter and anyone, given their scientific simplicity and reality, can read and understand them in the whole world.
The soul doesn’t exist, neither does the spirit, they are concepts like Zeus and Brahma; the memory, instead, exists, I identify it with the mind.
The soul, has anyone seen it? The spirit, has anyone seen it? The memory? This is a physical part of a physical experience. So, even if you can’t see it, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
I remember when my sister got married; I remember the never-ending stair as I went up the Eiffel Tower; I remember when I climbed le Petit Ferret, near Mont Blanc, in Val d’Aosta. The memory is physical, therefore mental. The memory has deep roots. This kind of roots can sleep forever or be awakened at any moment and in any place by conscious matter. But, my sister’s wedding, the stairway of the Eiffel Tower, the ascent of le Petit Ferret, if compared to the deep memory of the mind, they are very recent.
The mind was born shortly after the first particle that arose from nothingness of nothingness, that is, at the very dawn of the universe. Why do I remember this period of the cosmic beginning as if it were now? Because I was there in the first particle. Sure, not as I am today. I was there as a body of matter. Why does my mind allow me to travel billions and billions of times faster than light? For the simple reason that I am a universe in miniature. Light, on the other hand, is only one phenomenon among the phenomena that make up the universe. Light is a physical thing like an atom, a stone, a tree. The mind, instead, has followed my body step by step all throughout its evolution till today, and I am and feel an integral part of its totality: I am a composite of universal particles and mind.
To say it all at once and in a language that everybody can understand, I, you, he, she, they, we are first of all cosmic snails and after the rest. A snail leaves its marks wherever it is, as well as it prints on itself the activities, all the activities that are going on around it, including the mind. We are made of this stuff. The cosmic snail, called also the human snail, in an evolutionary and realistic way, has experienced all the metamorphoses of the Great Whole from its very start up to the present day. That is why I remember, even if superficially, all the evolution of this world called the universe. The mind, therefore, besides being billions and billions miles faster than light, it is also a computer that records, sees, hears and experiences everything around it.
This concept, the concept of the enlightened cosmic snail, is like Darwin’s discovery of the world’s species: his is the discovery the evolution of biology; mine is the discovery of the evolution of matter and mind.
I am convinced that between inanimate and animate matter there is an umbilical cord which binds them together. Not everything can be demonstrated in cosmology, part of its evolutionary road must be understood and elaborated by intuitions, inductions, imaginations, reasoning, enlightenment, wisdom. Animate matter was once inanimate matter and no vice versa. We have been produced by the inanimate matter. It’s not easy to deny this heritage of ours, just as it’s not easy to demonstrate it, but that’s the way it is: we are the legitimate children of the universe, of papá universe. A black hole and a human being are brothers, their father is the cosmos and their great great grandfather is nothingness of nothingness.
If one of the human species were taken prisoner by the members of a spaceship coming from another universe, these extra cosmic creatures, thanks to their science, would immediately discover our origin and with all the annexes and connected of our technical and cultural baggage and background. As paleontologists with a single report discover the whole being they are dealing with, so the extra cosmic will discover the physical, chemical, mental and all the other information of us and of our universe, together with its age and its size in a short time.
We are mature to embrace our cosmic reality for what it is AND NOT FOR WHAT WE WANT IT TO BE, and this for the simple reason that we are all but except what we pretend to be. The mythological world we live in, is no longer sustainable, not by people who have a conscience and consider themselves evolved human beings.
I, Francis Sgambelluri, I am a child of the universe no less than the stones and the trees, I belong to the Milky Way, to the Solar System and to the planet Earth on which I was born, live and die.
