You cannot think of the atoms like you think of the trees or the solar system. Size matters.
All the cells of the human body are replaced about 10 times a year. Their skin is replaced every 5 or 6 weeks. Even most of the calcium in their bones is replaced every 3 months. In those conditions, how can you explain that they keep their tattoos?
The answer to that question is that their body does not replace their skin as a whole. It replaces the cells of their skin, one by one. People don't renew their skin one morning like the snake sheds its skin and the lobster molts. They replace one dead cell with one new cell. One at a time. The ink inserted in their skin is not part of their body. It does not get replaced any more than the fillings in their teeth. Our thinking must be at the level of the cells, not the level of the skin. We must adapt our thinking to different levels.
9-Many levels

We,The People, are not happy
This is only the beginning:
- When they look at the water in a swimming pool, they see a clear liquid. When a chemist looks at water, he sees a combination of hydrogen and oxygen. Their thinking must be at the right level, and this level is not the same for swimming and for chemistry.
- They don’t have a problem separating Time and Space. The clock on the wall stays in the same place and keeps telling them about Time. This is not an idea that they can apply to the moon. They cannot imagine the moon staying in the same place in the sky, like a clock on the wall. The moon must move. There is some connection between Time and Space. They cannot think about the solar system the same way they think about objects on Earth. Time and Space are combined like the chemist combines oxygen and hydrogen to make water.
Size really matters! The way they think about their cells is not the way they should think about their skin.
Can human thinking be adapted to our solar system or the Red Giant?
They were told, at school, that the world is made of matter, plants, animals and humans. They placed themselves on top, of course, and they saw no need to look any further.
Reality may be a bit more complicated. They are floating halfway between the infinitely small atoms and the immensity of the universe. This is not a very comfortable position for somebody who pretends to dominate the world.
Above them are……. a few things that are important but difficult to describe. Click “List of Angels in Theology” and you will discover many levels above them that they did not expect. They gave them names such as Angels, Archangels, Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones and many others. What we know, for sure, is that the world around them does not come as a soup. It comes as many separate layers.
Level 1: Matter:
This is the lower level. As far as humans can tell, the level of matter is the level of raw materials. It is made of atoms. Plenty of them! Those atoms can combine to make molecules. Plenty of them! There is a lot of movement inside those atoms. That does not mean that there is life inside them. At least this is the way humans see the level of matter. Only rocks! No life. No movement. No feelings. Nothing but eternity!
Level 2: Plants: You make plants by adding something to matter. Something important! You must add the ability to grow and to take a certain shape. You also need the ability to make seeds and reproduce. The level of plants is particularly important to humankind. This is where their food comes from. They don’t know if there is life in plants, but they can be sure that there would not be life on Earth without them.
As far as they can tell, many stars don’t have the plant level. That does not mean that there is no life on those planets. It only means that their kind of life does not matter.
Level 3: Animals: They use matter. They have their own shape. They reproduce. They can also move from one place to another. Some move their legs. Some move their wings. Others swim. They all use the same idea. They move by changing the shape of their body. The main difference between plants and animals is movement controlled by the brain. This is also their criteria of life. That does not mean that everything that moves is alive. There is a lot of movement in the electrons of an atom. So far, they have not considered atoms to be alive.
Level 4: Human beings: They are made of matter. They have their own shape. They are moving. They also think. That does not mean that animals cannot think. The lion must evaluate the speed and the distance of its prey. Compare it with its own speed and how long it can run. The lion could make better decisions than humans with their GPS and their computers.
You move from one level to the next, by adding something important.
-To get from matter to the plants, they added a shape.
-To move from the plants to the animals they added the possibility to change shape.
-With thinking, they added something immaterial that does not have a shape. They are entering the non-physical.
What could the levels above them be made of? They have a body that belongs to the material world. What is most important in their life are ideas, love, feelings, consciousness… that do not have a shape or a weight. Could the level above them be made of energy? Heat? Consciousness? Love? Could it be a level of souls without a body?
When their astronomers look for life on another planet, they look for a body. They use the tools and the way of thinking that they have developed in their material world. To explore the non-physical requires a new set of tools. Their material world was a good point of entry into the vast universe. It was a way to develop a basic way of thinking under the guidance of Nature. It was the first step in the development of human thinking. To explore the non-physical requires a new set of tools and a new way of thinking.
