Personally, I whole heartedly agree with the Santiago Theory, because since “living systems are cognitive systems”, as Maturana states, this means that as such they are imbued with consciousness, the ground state of all being. It is because of this consciousness that cognition is possible. And indeed all that lives is conscious, alive and imbued with that same underlying spark of divine energy.
In fact, Descartes had it completely wrong…it is our thinking minds that take us out of the ‘present moment’ as Echhart Toley states in the “Power of Now”. The thinking mind is a construct of the ego, and necessary perspective and function of being in form and functioning in the world. However, neither our minds or our egos are who we truly are. Rather, they take us into the past (which we regret and fret about) -or- into the future (which we become anxious about based on past experiences, which we project there as happening again). Whereas, true being and life occur -only- in the present moment of the hear and now. The place where consciousness also resides.
