Consider for a moment how our bodies can change and adapt to a change in consciousness:
An overweight person decides to make dramatic changes and improve his health. He becomes a long-distance runner. After several years of running, his body has become slender, with well-built calves and thighs.
Over time the DNA in the cells also begin to mutate, making the cell more efficient in utilizing glucose and oxygen. The cell’s metabolism will increase, and various other physiological functions adapt to adjust. Expanded lung capacity, larger heart muscles and other changes will take place in the body. On the other hand, a person who likes to eat and does not exercise much will probably develop a larger stomach, enabling more eating. Their metabolism will decrease, adapting to that behavior.
Certainly the physical body changes as a result of particular activities. However, prior to the change in activities came a decision to change that activity. This decision arises from consciousness. For this reason, the shape of our body and our activities will reflect our consciousness.
Should we decide to become a boxer, we will probably end up with a broken or twisted nose and a puffy, scarred facial countenance. Likewise, a hardened violent criminal will probably have a number of scars and injuries as a result of his or her choices in life. His body may also end up dead because of his consciousness. On the other hand, an accountant will probably have more delicate physical features, and probably smaller, weaker muscles as a result of his or her choices and activities. An athletic accountant will probably have a longer life than the violent criminal will as well.
We can easily see how our physical features reflect our consciousness in so many different ways. Considering our consciousness to be a combination of our current desires and past behavior, we can see how our accumulated situation reflects either decisions we may have made in this lifetime or a past lifetime. As our consciousness changes, so does our body. We can thus scientifically and logically conclude that our bodies (and species) reflect our own personal consciousness. And as that consciousness evolves, so do our bodies.
This research on wolves and dogs set out originally to dispel the doubts regarding dog ancestry in support of accidental evolution. It unintentionally resulted in a practical display of how every living organism contains a living being. It showed how living beings have relative states of consciousness depending upon the body they wear. It showed how contact with higher organisms will result in increased consciousness and subsequent physical reflection. The bottom line is that all creatures display consciousness because all living organisms contain a living being:
Even the smallest creatures such as bacteria show the same survival and adaptation responses larger creatures do. In numerous studies and observations, researchers have observed that bacteria respond to various stimuli in much the same way that any creature does. They are attracted to elements that bring physical comfort and are repelled by elements that cause discomfort, pain or a threat of death. Furthermore, they have a memory of what caused pain or comfort in the past, and they can thus respond appropriately. Their basic responses are no different from other living organisms. This is evidenced by pathogenic bacteria learning to adapt to medicines like antibiotics.
Because these creatures are physically different, we often do not consider them living beings. Yet they respond to challenges and adapt the same way most other creatures do, including humans. When a bacteria or insect physically adapts to a new threat this is obviously an attempt to survive and avoid pain. The threat creates a challenge to survival.
Since these tiny organisms are alive, they are conscious. Since they are conscious, they avoid pain and death. In the same way a human might don a camouflage outfit to outsmart an opponent, a bacteria or insect might develop new physical traits to resist a particular poison.
They cannot quite change species, but they can adapt within limitations. These adaptations are merely different ways organisms express their consciousness of being alive and their intent to become happy.
