Second Order Powers Slideshow

This is the lecture I delivered to my adult education class this week. It caused quite a stir. One dedicated atheist dropped the class at this point in a huff. It seems that the class is quite alright discussing gnostic concepts in the abstract, but when it comes down to Earth, then it gets real. Suddenly it’s a war between science and religion. The part that ticked off some of the students was demonstrating conscious life within the cells. In other words, consciousness comes down to the cellular level and then levels up through intelligent design to become us through cell division and differentiation. This slide show has three embedded YouTube videos. The links within the pdf are not active, so I have included them here at the top of this transcript. Note that the Harvard biologist who narrates the first video is personifying consciousness within the cellular proteins. This is not an accident of language, but demonstrates that even biologists ascribe consciousness to these proteins although they would be loathe to admit it. Note that there is a pulldown bar immediately next to the images so you can proceed through the entire lecture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp6qRNNGPj4&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJyUtbn0O5Y&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGPflE5eHrU&t=2s Second Order powers– the new pleroma of Download
