You are invited to listen to the ancient wisdom, "look around you". Look especially at the living things that surround us. Life is still "magic" to us, because we haven't yet found a way to make life (other than the "natural" way, of course, but we're not here to read about sex, as stimulating as that would be). Life is all around us, and yet we still haven't found even the most basic forms of life anywhere else but on this, our planet Earth. This brief treatment about the energy of life assumes that life only takes forms that are familiar to us, that are carbon-based forms made of matter that are alive.
The life energy essence (L.E.E.; an initialism rather than an acronym; pronounced EL - Ē - Ē, not just Lēē) is the energy of life that will soon be discovered by science on the atomic (nuclear) level. When the L.E.E. is found, scientists might then learn how to duplicate life in the laboratory, perhaps give actual life energy to AIs and help older people with the aging process. The reason life has not been duplicated in the laboratory before this is because scientists have only been trying to do so on a chemical basis rather than on an atomic/nuclear basis. What is the difference between, say, a living cell and a similar cell that has died, or between a small beetle and an inanimate pebble in the sand? between a carbon atom in us vs. one in non-living charcoal, or between a water molecule in a living being and one in an ocean or river? I think we're about to find out as we dig deeper to find the L.E.E. housed in the atomic structures of certain elements and molecules in the bodies of living beings.
In some ways we are today similar to scholars of old. In ancient times those scholars thought that the universe consisted of four elements: air, earth, fire and water. Today we know that the universe consists of a much more complicated and intricate array of elements, as we see in a periodic table. And today scholars have theorized that there are four fundamental forces, or "interactions" as they are now called: the strong force, electromagnetic force, weak force and gravitation. This writer postulates that there are more than four fundamental forces, perhaps many more, that are thus far undiscovered. And one of those >4 forces is the L.E.E.
These musings have led this writer to draw certain conclusions about the L.E.E. and the purpose or meaning of what having that force within us just might turn out to be. So please prepare yourself for speculative ideas along those lines. Thank you beyond words for reading!
