Consciousness is a Spiritual Function:
The Human Egg Cell is conscious of its state of existence. It is goal-oriented and it serves the purpose of the Whole Organism (Mother) and displays functional subordination. If the Egg Cell is not fertilized, it has no further purpose, and it gets expelled from the body. It displays no tendency towards implantation or getting embedded into the maternal tissue to continue its existence.
The journey of a fertilized egg cell begins in the fallopian tube where a sperm cell unites with an egg to form a single-cell zygote.
Fertilization and Cell Division
Zygote formation: When a single sperm penetrates the outer layer of the egg, their genetic material combines.
Mitosis begins: The newly formed zygote undergoes rapid cell division, splitting into two cells, then four, and continuing to multiply as it moves.
Moving down the tube: The newly formed embryo is moved toward the uterus by peristalsis and the movements of cilia of the Fallopian Tube. The movements of cilia demonstrate the ability called locomotion, a characteristic of the living substance called Protoplasm. Mother has no cortical awareness of the fact of conception and the movement of the embryo toward the uterus. Over the course of 3 to 4 days, the dividing cluster of cells travels slowly down the fallopian tube toward the uterus.
Blastocyst Formation
Hollow ball of cells: By day 5, the collection of cells transforms into a structure called a blastocyst.
Hatching: Around day 6, the microscopic cluster emerges from its protective outer shell, preparing to attach to the body’s nutrient supply.
Implantation in the Uterus
Reaching the uterus: About 7 days after conception, the blastocyst arrives in the uterus, which has thickened its lining of blood vessels.
Attachment: The cluster burrows into the uterine lining in a process called implantation.
Sign of pregnancy: Once implanted, the cells begin producing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone detected by pregnancy tests.
Consciousness fundamentally involves awareness of one’s own existence. For example, Amoeba proteus is aware or conscious of its own living condition at any given time, and place of its existence.
The Ground Substance of Spiritualism and Spirituality. The vital characteristics, the animating principles of Protoplasm are known by observing Amoeba proteus. The Living Substance works as an organ of Motion or Movement, as an organ of Nutrition, and as an organ of Reproduction to generate new cells which have a life span of their own. In these physiological functions, I describe the characteristics such as Cognition, Consciousness, Memory, and Intelligence which have a Spiritual role as they bring functional unity and harmony in the interactions between different parts of the same individual organism while it exists in an environment as a member of a biological community.
Consciousness may include awareness of thoughts, moods, and feelings and yet it is not mental function. Consciousness is biological function, a characteristic of all living cells. In Clinical Medicine, consciousness is always evaluated and it does not involve taking educational, or occupational history. What you are is described by Science called Anatomy, and what you do is described by Science called Physiology. If Life is defined as ‘Knowledge in Action’, this Knowledge is not experience acquired by cells of human body through man’s learning process.
Life’s Journey relates to functional ability called locomotion which depends on the nature of living, corporeal substance called protoplasm, or cytoplasm which always exists in perpetual state of motion.
To speak of human consciousness or self-awareness, the discussion demands knowing Egg Cell as conscious entity.
This living condition in perpetual motion is synchronized with the rotational spin of Earth that provides alternating periods of Light and Darkness called Day and Night while the Sun shines all the time. No instant during the entire period of one’s Life Journey is the same as another instant. Each living instant remains unique, or one of its own kind as no instant can repeat itself. During Life’s Journey, man has no consciousness or awareness of motion of his own living substance and has no consciousness or awareness of the motions of Earth. Man may have intellectual understanding of motions performed by his living substance and of Earth on which he finds his existence. This intellectual ability does not provide direct sensory experience of Journey performed by Living Substance or Earth. For that reason, I suggest that the “Journey” from point A to point B on the surface of Earth that man performs is predestined for man has no ability to control either motion of his living substance or motion of his earthly abode.
The Cell Theory is verified Science; Cells are the Building Blocks of Life.
This Egg Cell begins Life’s Journey from the instant called Ovulation, later, Conception until another instant called Implantation. Does this Journey from Ovulation, Conception, to Implantation requires Consciousness or Self-Awareness?
