Bio Physic: Life and living systems

1) I know I am: "living system" because......

After living in the Hawaiian Islands for a decade it became apparent rocks are living things. The whole a place in space and vibrate. They are the sister and brother of molten lava. Water on fire.
Walking through a volcano crater one can see how the whole of time. Even though my experience is of the world around me is subjective. In this paradigm of consciousness my experience is my life and health in this physical body integrated with the world around me. The web of life in macro and micro
My life is both micro and macro experience of the different living systems of microbes of my body and the energy of the sun that give life for all living systems everyday with the night to rest.


2) How if do we determine if someone is consciousness?

The latest test examples to determine if someone is consciousness has definitly shown a lot more work needs to be done. Someone can appear to be brain dead but regain consciousness years later.
Tests also confirm individuals were consciouses when they were thought were brain dead. The determination of consciousness brings up many questions about the quality of life and when someone is actually brain dead. The progession of science and history tells us centuries ago people we buried alive. That why they left a bell above the grave tied to a string in the coffin.
