Aliveness

Aliveness is the component that unites other components. If everything is consciousness, then aliveness is the uniting of consciousnesses.

If a living being eats, then what does it eat? If we look closely at what any living being eats, we can see that food is the periodic table. If we look even closer, food is atoms. We can look even deeper. So what gives something aliveness?

For me, the answer is clear. Everything that is alive has a certain part of consciousness that unites what is less alive. After death, what is less alive no longer stays together; that is, the more conscious part separates.

Why do I write less alive or more alive? Because I believe that everything is alive to a different degree. If a stone lies on the ground, people say the stone is not alive. But if the parts of the stone are inside the human body right now, did the stone become alive?
