I love you humanness. Yes we are biological and yes we have material bodies and yes you speak so well to this. It's where we must focus because we have no choice we are here and we can't seem to escape! Nor perhaps would we choose to given the love we feel for our families and friends. A truly human gift.

However as brain and consciousness food and within a larger cosmological context I really like this article by Klaus - it's a wonderful description of how universes get recycled and how DNA is the chief architect of that.

A relevant excerpt below - I love Penrose!

Luckily, Penrose has explored the applications of CCC in the context of SETI — though "extraterrestrial" may not actually be the correct terminology to describe these civilizations.In a paper titled CCC and the Fermi paradox, Penrose and his colleague Vahe Gurzadyan postulate that extraterrestrial civilizations may not actually be from other planets at all. They postulate that these civilizations may in fact be from different aeons, and that "fossils" of their existence may be imprinted on the cosmic microwave background.If we are to consider signals from previous-aeon beings, then such regions might well be the most promising places to look, as the CCC-interpretation would be that there might well have been vast numbers of very large galaxies in these places, and consequently a large probability of the development and long-term stability of highly evolved technological societies.What kind of signals might we expect that such beings could be sending out?Penrose and Gurzadyan then go on to speculate why a civilization might be transmitting signals to another aeon in the first place, with some rather disturbing propositions.…What might be a purpose to the previous-aeon beings of possibly deliberately transmitting such signals to beyond their aeon, where we must bear in mind that 2-way communication with us would be impossible in this way? Perhaps those beings might have wished to save the inhabitants of our subsequent aeon from some unpleasant fate that their greater wisdom could help us avoid. Here the purpose would, for one reason or another, simply be the transmission of information from their aeon to ours. Alternatively, there is the idea of information panspermia…i.e. the propagation of the ”life codes” by the use of such signals, like the bit strings of human genome and of other species of terrestrial life.The physicists' proposition of an "unpleasant fate" — the likely apocalyptic transition to the next aeon — is disconcerting, to say the least.
