No single function can explain the coloration of living things. We need a comprehensive theory that predicts the lines and patterns of coloration of plants and animals. An artist’s palette containing only three properly chosen colors is entirely adequate under most circumstances to produce the various visual effects of color that is observed. The optical mechanisms involved in the production of color are complex. Coloration is a dynamic and complex characteristic and the term must be clearly distinguished from the term ‘color’ which only refers to the spectral qualities of emitted or reflected light. It is apparent that plants, and animals have no cognitive abilities to produce the coloration by which they are recognized. However, the coloration displayed gives us a clue about the nature of the “Whole Artist” who could be using imagination, has feelings for the forms created and seeks satisfaction from the visual effects that he produced. If man has the ability called visual perception, he must use the ability to visualize the “Whole Artist” who is at work.

Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 82 – The Great Grand Illusion hiding the Realities of the Universe
Who or what created this Universe? A spontaneous event cannot be described as a creative event. Creation is associated with imagination, purpose, design, inspiration and all of these could be called creative thought or influence.
The Greek word for Universe is ‘Cosmos’ which stands for Beauty and Order. The Universe is everything that exists; all matter and energy; all living, nonliving matter, and all forms of energy including the chemical energy that living entities use to establish, and to sustain their existence in support of various living functions. The Universe is immense and could be of unknown proportions. Earth is nearly 13,000 km across, a tiny speck among myriads of larger and smaller specks in the Universe. I seek the Knowledge of the Universe as it exists with a purpose. The purpose of the Universe is to provide me and other life forms a place to live in it.
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 81 – The Universe exists to provide Man a Home
In my analysis, the reality of earthly life and earthly existence is not accounted by the Heliocentric Model of the Solar System. The Design of the Solar System must be explained in the context of the Design Effect on the Observer who is positioned on the surface of a very fast spinning celestial object. The earthly Observer can only exist if and only if he does not experience the true or real motions of the location at which he makes his observations. Secondly, the reality of the Heliocentric Model does not rule, govern, or regulate the biological rhythms of earthly life. The Sunrise and the Sunset are not real events. But, the Eternal Law of Aging is operated by the apparent motion of Sun across earthly sky. The illusion cannot be dismissed by human observer as his earthly lifetime is operated by the influence or power, or force that generates the illusion placing Earth at the center of the Solar System.
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 79 – Transient Being vs Eternal Being.
Man is a created being, exists as an Individual with Individuality, and has living substance constituted by Chemical Elements that are immortal, imperishable, or eternal. However, Man, the physical being with a shape and form is transient as he is born with a plan for the dissolution of its form.
I acknowledge the fleeting dimension of man’s Mortal Being and at the same time, Human existence cannot be dismissed as Unreal or as an illusion. I demand a full accounting of the biological basis for this transient, ephemeral, or fleeting existence. The fact or the reality of human existence describes the Yoking, the coming together, the joining, the pairing, the Unity of man with an Everlasting Principle.
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 78 – Biological Rhythms are manifested under the influence of a Vital, Animating, and Unchanging Principle
This ability to connect the activities of past and present with activities that occur in the future requires the operation of an unchanging principle that is not influenced by changes of time. The colorful changes that we witness during the Autumn season relate us to the works of a Whole Designer, a Whole Architect, a Whole Planner, and a Whole Artist.
In my view, all natural phenomena require the operation of an unchanging condition that gives the opportunity to experience the change that is manifested. The change called Day and Night, and the changes called Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer Seasons are manifested because of an unchanging condition; the fact of Sun shining with its full brightness 24-hours, and at all times.
The rhythmically recurring phenomena called biological rhythms are manifested for living functions operate under the influence of an unchanging, vital, animating principle called Soul, or Spirit.
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 75 – The Phenomenon of Longevity
The issue of Life-Span of plants and trees and of Human Life-Span need special consideration. In all animals, where the organism is formed by sexual reproduction, the beginning of life is defined by the formation of the fertilized egg cell or zygote. Very often, physical birth is considered to be the beginning of the Life-Span. The end or death of an organism is reflected in its inability to support its structural and functional organization that gives it a distinctive physical identity. This generation of Life by the union of an egg and sperm is a most remarkable event. In the entire Animal and Plant Kingdom where the organisms achieve reproduction sexually, the Generative Mechanism remains the same and is unchanged over millions of years. This Generative Potential of Sexual Reproduction is unaltered and it describes a most creative process that is involved in the beginning of all living creatures. In my view, the immutability of Life’s beginning is dependent on the Unchanging Principle called Soul or Spirit.
Human beings have the unique ability to use their Lifetime to create a legacy that can endure giving an aura of immortality to that specific human individual who may have finished his or her mortal existence
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 74 -Spiritualism vs Panpsychism. The Unity of Science and Humanities
Due to a lack of unity between Natural Sciences and Humanities, we are not able to describe the reality of man, and have failed to describe the reality of this universe using words to which a definite meaning is attached. The universe is build using units such as Matter, Energy, Space, and Time. Man is composed of molecules of matter that is constituted by atoms, and chemical elements like any other form of physical matter. The difference is that of the nature of existence. The physical, non-living matter requires no supply of energy from an external source to maintain its physical existence. The living things that include all “monads” apart from man need continuous supply of energy from the external environment to sustain existence. The atoms and chemical elements of man do have mass and energy and yet that energy is not available for maintaining the living condition.
The fertilized Egg Cell or Human Ovum called Zygote could be called a ‘Whole Monad’.
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 73 – The Art of Whole Knowing – Whole Intuition vs Whole Mysticism
When I write about Man as a Spiritual Being, the concern is not about glorifying people as saints. The issue is about man’s true or real nature. My theory of Spirituality is about “The Art of Whole Knowing” that can provide tools to all people to know themselves in an objective manner. This is a simple challenge that can be accomplished without forcing people to attend Church or any other place of worship. The Art of Knowing does not involve what most people tend to recognize as spiritual practices such as Prayer, Meditation, Yoga, or Mysticism. The Art of Whole Knowing simply involves training people to know what they know about others or about themselves. It must be noted that Life is essentially a state, a condition, or an act of knowing.
If Devotion is used as a method of scientific Inquiry, The Art of Knowing is about Knowing Man as a Spiritual Being.
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 70 – The Phenomenon of Illumination
Light of Lights – The Phenomenon of Illumination and the Phenomenon of Knowing.
THE LIGHT IS THE SOURCE OF ILLUMINATION. THE KNOWLEDGE IS THE OBJECT OF ILLUMINATION. THE MIND IS THE OBSERVER OF ILLUMINATION. THERE IS UNITY BETWEEN THE SOURCE, THE OBJECT KNOWN, THE KNOWER TO MANIFEST THE PHENOMENA OF KNOWING.
The man’s ability of Sensory Perception called Vision, and the ability of Inner Vision are of secondary importance as Existence depends directly on the act of Breathing and the Lord or Prabhu provides Knowledge for performing that act of Breathing. The True Self or Atman illuminates me if it is connected to Lord or Prabhu, the Original Source of Light.
Philosophy of Medicine – Lesson. 67 – The Origin of Human Languages describes the Origin of Newly Formed Human Species
Human Civilization can be described as the Civilization of Dialogue and the conversation continues from one generation to the next as if man is not a perishable creature.
Human Language has the Spiritual attribute called Immortality for it includes the thoughts shared by the living and the dead and extends to those as yet unborn. Human Civilization can be described as the Civilization of Dialogue and the conversation continues from one generation to the next as if man is not a perishable creature. Plato observes, “thought and speech are the same, with this exception, that which is called thought is the unuttered conversation of the Soul with itself.”
