Consumption, Absorption, Crop Circles, Aliens and Conciousness

Absorption is where one body enshrines another but does not change the characteristics of the absorbed body. For example a sponge may absorb water, but the water is still a separate entity.

Although sugar may dissolve in water, being originally a solid sugar required a separation of molecules from their respective crystals and as such is not termed absorption although the sugar has not been destroyed.

Consumption is an altogether different process and results in the destruction of one to the other's gain.

In animals water can be said to be both absorbed and consumed.Although consume would be the more common term, most water used by humans is absorbed to use it's ability to transport soluble and miscible nutrients, biological engines and waste.

The reason we use the word consume is that water is a common resource that animals compete over. Water absorbed by one is not available for another. Given human use of water for many other purpose other than internal body function it is more sensible to see water as a limited resource and therefore use the word consume.

So we have a simple product that is absorbed and used to such a degree that it's use constitutes a consumption in relation to other animals, and plants for that matter.

So where are we going? How does consciousness relate to consumption. Something that cannot survive without absorption is a consumer. So the sun exists due to gravital absorption. Yet the sheer volume of absorption in the sun can destroy the things absorbed and so it's consumption becomes evident.

These arguments are applied relative to the macro-cosmic world of particle physics and conjunctions wherein the bodies have identity.

It is the identity of a sponge, the sun, or an animal that is used to define the absorption of consumption.

An Alien Conciousness
So is it sensible that evolving conciousness is define by consumption? I would argue that absorption would be a better practice to hone. That is the requirement to grow being fed not on the destruction of other forms by by integration. This is however a far fetched scenario, yet could there be aliens that exist in this manner.

If not we have the prospect of only meeting aliens as consumers, and, unless we get out there first, we are the ones to be consumed.

What of Crop Circles?
It is highly unlikely that an alien consumer would use it's resources to draw pretty pictures on a far away planet, for what purpose. let us forget the question of how, for such technology would be beyond our usual conception let alone our material ability.

But the purpose may be discussed. Yet what if the Alien was not a consumer, but an absorber. The technology would till be irrelevant but the reason for drawing a crop circle could be positively argued, unlike that for the consumer.

So what are the arguments for a crop circle. Yes lets avoid how they are made whether by sponge, the sun or jack the lad.

Who, not what would make a crop circle. Well lets start with jack-the-lad and rule out sponge-bob.

Hardly a consumer action, so the alien wasn't engaged in consumption, at this point. Is it a communication that they exist. I doubt it, why would a consumer let us know they are coming to get us, why waste their value resources on squashing crops?

So we have the more sensible idea that aliens that only absorb do exist and have no desire to destroy us, but may well absorb us.

Conciousness
How and when are irrelevant as it equates to time, which is a tool for consumption, but why? Is it still that consciousness has little choice but to grow and advance conciousness does this through absorption not consumption. There may be understandable benefits to this practice, but it still leaves the question as to why does conciousness need to grow.

Any conciousness that has the power to draw crop circles from afar is more powerful that the su,. generally beyond our understanding, whereas the sun is within possible consumption as is all material form.

So what of non material forms can conciousness exist with all form yet not use such as a resource. Can conciousness grow without fear of depletion if it needs to consume or absorb. Maybe the goal is to be absorbed or consumed yet not loose identity. Such a goal is that of the soul not that of the body which is hell bent on consumption, with the laurel leaf of absorption.

All a far cry from political environmental concerns for sustainability, the sham of the green parties, the eco-vegan and transition tout all presenting solutions on how to eke out the resources for future consumption. Sad bastards all. That I could be apart from it, in this space not some future blog.
