Another point to add that might be revealing for how this works. I didn't write about in any of my papers. So say you are at a traffic light and you see the red and green lights. What is it that you think you see ? You think you see a red and green traffic light, right ? But that's not what you see. What you see is the first consciousness that ever saw an apple in the tree 1 billion years ago. Is similar to Sheldrake's morphic resonance. You are basically "vibrating at the same frequency" with that consciousness from the remote past. You are that consciousness. When you see the red and green traffic lights you are one with that consciousness from 1 billion years ago that first saw the apple in the tree.
That's why seeing a new color is a very intricate thing, is based on an entire historical inheritance of qualities. This also explains why chemists have difficulties creating life in the lab by mixing chemicals. They look at a cell, see what chemicals there are, and they think if you just put all those chemicals in a soup they have to make the cell. But the composition is not all that matters. History matters as well. And since world moved on, it might be impossible now to create life again. Because not only the context of the chemicals that you mix matter, but the entire context of self-reference. And since that universal context changed, is pointless to mix chemicals. Sure, by mixing chemicals you might recreate smaller contexts, but you cannot recreate the universal context, so those chemicals will not move towards life.
