Symbiogenesis has been systematically exploited to understand consciousness as the aggregate of our physiology. The Symbiogenic mechanism for assimilation of factors in the environment formulates the continuum from inside the cell to the Cosmos, both consciousness and cosmology complying with the Laws of Nature. Since Symbiogenesis is 'constructive', whereas eliminating what threatens us is 'destructive', why do we largely practice Symbiogenesis? Hypothetically, Symbiogenesis recursively simulates the monism of our origin, recognizing 'something bigger than ourselves'. That perspective explains many heretofore unexplained aspects of consciousness, such as mind, epigenetic inheritance, physiology, behaviors, social systems, mathematics, the Arts, from an a priori perspective. Moreover, there is an energetic continuum from Newtonian to Quantum Mechanics, opening up to a novel way of understanding the 'true nature of our being', not as 'materialism', but instead being the serial homeostatic control of energy. The latter is consistent with the spirit of Claude Bernard and Walter B. Cannon's perspectives on physiology. Such a paradigm shift is overdue, given that materialism is causing the destruction of the Earth and ourselves.
共生起源被系统地用来理解意识,将其视为我们生理学的总和。共生起源机制将环境因素同化,从细胞内部到宇宙形成一个连续体,意识和宇宙论都符合自然法则。由于共生起源是“建设性的”,而消除对我们构成威胁的因素是“破坏性的”,那么我们为什么要在很大程度上实践共生起源呢?从理论上讲,共生起源递归模拟了我们起源的一元论,认识到“比我们自己更大的东西”。这种观点从先验的角度解释了意识的许多以前无法解释的方面,如思维、表观遗传、生理学、行为、社会系统、数学、艺术等。此外,从牛顿力学到量子力学存在着能量连续体,为理解“我们存在的真正本质”提供了一种新的方法,不是“唯物主义”,而是能量的连续动态平衡控制。这与克劳德·伯纳德和沃尔特·B·坎农的生理学观点的精神是一致的。鉴于唯物主义正在导致地球和我们自身的毁灭,这种范式转变已经刻不容缓。
