Good Afternoon Leon,
If you have the time or inclination I would be interested in hearing about DNA as mentioned below. I am attempting to understand the workings of science in order that I can contrast it with HPB. Eric is a biologist and very helpful in regard to the scientific basis of current theories. I hope I have gained a basic understanding of DNA but the posting may show otherwise. The argument was that RNA proceeded DNA as the Language of Life.
Cheers

Hi guys,
Sorry to have taken so long to respond but family commitments have taken precedent over the past few weeks.
If I have got this right
The sides of the ladder are formed by a backbone of sugar and phosphate molecules and the rungs consist of nucleotides bases joined in the middle by hydrogen bonds.
During Mitosis each chromosome copies itself and the duplicates line up at the equator of the cell. Then duplicate copies of each chromosome are pulled towards opposite poles. A zipper analogy was used to convey the copying mechanism. Finlly when the cell slits at the equator it has reproduced two new cells with identical sets of chromosomes.
DNA is composed of Nucleotides (building blocks) + dioxyribose sugar + phosphate + one of four nitrogen basis, Adenine, Thymine, Guainine and Cytoine, with A always pairing with T and G always pairing with C.
DNA is found mostly in the cell nucleus but another type of nucleic acid, RNA is common in the cytoplasm (I imagine this is located between the cell nucleus and its perimeter?), so that the RNA must copy the DNA message in the nucleus and carry it out to the cytoplasm where proteins are synthesized. To me this appears to be a back up for DNA coding. The RNA then copies the DNA to protein, transcribed or copied into a messenger mRNA molecule. DNA--RNA--Mrna. (Father,Son and Holy Ghost!!) The mRNA is translated into amino acids.
RNA has the ability to store genetic information and transfers ribosomac RNA the ability to translate genetic information into proteins.
DNA also comes with an army of enzymes poised to repair damage from environmental mutagens or errors in DNA replication. Without these enzymes it is believed that DNA damage would cause intolerable levels of mutation. Although science still is not 100% clear on what other than environmental mutagens can cause errors in DNA. e.g. An unknown mutation may cause genius or retardation??
What I struggle with is that negative mutations (fairlures to repair) are looked upon as necessary to survival, and that without mutations evolution would be impossible. I find this to be a gross assumption and is being linked as necessary evils for natural selection and make an organism more competitive in the struggle for survival. Perhaps in the 97% junk of the DNA are sleeper cells which are capable of providing the chemical base for say, the appearance of longer necks, etc. So I guess my question is does adaptation precede DNA coding or does DNA coding provide for naturally occuring adaptations from without (e.g.environment).
Spontaneous generation was dispelled as a myth when it became clear that all life must arise from pre-existing life, via a process of reproduction. So, DNA inanimate chemical bases precedes animate existence. RNA replicates the DNA and is represented as the daughter produced from the parent, an exact copy. As Plato or was it Pythogarus said, God geometrises. Also off point, but interesting to note that chemical bonds always appear as geometrical bodies, e.g.hexagons, etc.
I guess then I would argue the chicken and egg argument as RNA has the capability as a genetic molecule and can carry hereditary processes on its own it's function or raisson dette is a messenger or adaptor of DNA.
At the basis of life is water, without which life would have remained dormant. Please see below response to Eric.
Also read that blood cells do not carry DNA. What does this mean?

If you don't accept the original propositions, how could you follow the
logic? Besides, what does that statement have to do with logic? (Which is
actually in the explanation of how those "coenergetic" fields radiate, involve and
ultimately evolve into our space time continuum, one logical step after the
other, out of the primal singularity.) I can't help it if you cant imagine an
"empty point of absolute space" or "the infinite aspects of matter" let alone
"consciousness" (awareness, perception, will) as the a priori function of such
an unknowable point of primal space that has no attributes nor ontology or
epistemology to speak of.
So, if you want to understand the logic of ABC you'll just have to take that
as starting point, surround the zero-point "singularity" with its spinergy or
infinite angular momentum, and follow the logical causative chain of its
radiation and inflation, subsequent fractal involution, and contraction, after
breaking symmetry, into our material space time continuum (with all its particles.
atoms and myriad's of molecular forms) -- along with the evolution of mankind
on Earth (with its fully developed perceptual mind, memory and self
consciousness)... While, throughout it all, never violating any natural laws or proven
theories of physics such as conservation, QED, relativity, electrodynamics,
thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, etc., etc., and fully explaining the basis of psi
phenomena, karma, reincarnation, time dilation in ASC, OBE, NDE, dreams, and
all other paradoxes and anomalies of modern science, including explaining the
root cause of the DNA code, etc. ... All of which science hasn't got even the
faintest idea of a handle on.
If you have any questions about any of this from here on out, please ask a
specific question and I'll attempt to answer it as best I can. Or, if you have
any suggestions as to how I might better describe these physically linked
metaphysical processes, please state them. Other than that, outright denials,
or vague assertions based on irrelevant materialistic physics -- without
logical counter arguments explaining the same hard problems as ABC -- will get us
nowhere.

Sorry, but in my view, in spite of what may be assumed (which according to
Jud doesn't exist) by "physics" ( which also doesn't exist :-) -- Gravity can
only be the initial G-force that radiates from the zero-point spinergy in
opposite angular directions ( acounting for its attraction and repulsion) and by
fractally involving through all the coenergetic fields' frequency-energy phase
orders (i.e., different degrees of substantiality) down to the quantum-metric
space time continuum, where the electroweak and strong forces take over -- is
the force that not only holds them all together, but also accounts for their
attraction to each other and to their central zero-points due to its opposite
polarity.

Admittedly. But, how else would you describe a dynamic property of a
phenomenal field that physics doesn't even recognize as existing, and which has a
frequency-energy spectrum at least one order higher or lower than its adjacent
polar fields? Wouldn't you call each such field a different phase of
fundamental space? Wouldn't those fractally involved fields, being inside each
other in the same overall space be considered "coadunate"? And, wouldn't their
differences in frequency energy phase order make them "not consubstantial"?
Besides those quotes (n context) being attributed to Blavatsky, how specific
do I have to get.

I never said the field was empty (especially, since all such fields have
fields within fields within fields, etc. -- within them). What I did say was
that the zero-point centers of those fields are empty (of energy or form)...
Since, such energy is entirely separate from it in its surrounding spinergy or
G-force -- which is pure nonlinear abstract motion that doesn't become
actualized into the linear motion of coenergetic fields until it initially radiates
into analogous, fractally involved coenergetic fields. I hope that clears up
my weird semantics a bit. :-)

That's just hand waving.
Well, I challenge you to find a missing link of cause and effect or a false
syllogism, and point it or them out. Maybe you will be the first one to find
such a flaw, which might help me revise the theory if I have to.
As for Blavatsky... She outlined the entire metaphysics underlying Einstein's
theories that inspired me to find a scientific correlation that would be
consistent with all proven aspects of modern relativity, QED, QFT, string,
holographic paradigm, multiverse, and other currently isolated theories of modern and
post modern science -- and that would link them all with the zero-point of
pure consciousness. So far, none of them, separately, have come even close.
So, unless you have read the Secret Doctrine from cover to cover and
studied it for as many years as I have, and compared it with the Book of Dzyan, the
Vedas, the I-Ching, and the world of Hermes, and many other ancient occult
philosophers, not to mention the modern scientists such as Einstein, Millikan,
Bohm, Pauli, Iskakov, and others who appear to have used such metaphysics as the
basis of their visionary ideas, you could never know whether or not the ABC
theory is based on Blavatsky -- whose writings accurately reflect those ancient
masters who were close enough to the beginning to know how the triple headed
Universe of consciousness, mind and matter really works.
But until an experiment can be derive that will scientifically prove the ABC
model is the overall basis of a final GUTOE, I suppose we'll just have to
consider it another philosophical speculation, and I'll have to contend with
continued disbelief and arbitrary denials based on irrelevant scientific theories
that, themselves, in any combination, can't answer the questions with respect
to the synthesis of consciousness, mind and matter that ABC seems to answer
simply, logically and consistently.
Best wishes,
Leon
