    Protein Shapes and the Stephenville Texas lights



    A few nights ago, Michael showed me the videos of the Stephenville lights -
    a beautifully strange phenomenon which occurred through out January and February, rapidly changing symbols of segmented bright colors in the sky from an orb, perhaps 3D projectiles or maybe the orb itself was changing into the symbols . You have to see the video footage to try to fathom it, but seeing it live must have been more moving.

    Of course there is a lot of thoughts on what it was, what they were, and people from different point in the city saw the 3D symbols all differently from another perspective … so what do the symbols mean to you? Does it remind you of anything?
    Thousands of years ago, similar accounts have been seen and written about in history; documentations from people, and even stone carvings … maybe they have been returning here many times, showing us symbols to communicate, maybe we haven’t responded in their language yet .. Michael and I talked about it, it could look like DNA shapes .. But nothing double-helical … just strange looping fragments of a long colored ribbon.

    And today I realized it reminded me of protein shapes that I studied in cellular biology, and looked up some images I found online … Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find intricate details as I remember from my university books; but you can judge for yourself if the shapes remind you of it? proteins are very complex, a mystery to us because not only does their behaviour and functions based on their chemistry, as with genes, but the shape and fold is also extremely important - more so than any other components of our body. To function at all proteins need all the chemical components assembled correctly and then perfectly shaped by folding like intricate origami, coiling and wrinkling into odd forms. at any moment we have some crazy amount of millions of proteins working away in each cell. I wonder if this may be the answer to shaping our DNA, for the next evolutionary phase of our existence. They are sneding us clues or subconcious messages to move forward? At the moment we don’t know too much information about our genes - what tells us what we are made up of, and proteins are the instructions of how it all goes around .. the later being much more complex, so we really don’t have a full understanding of it … what if there lie the answers of how we can really change and better ourselves?

    Interestingly the most common gene we have is for the creation a protein called Reverse Transcriptase that doesn’t do anything else other than make the retrovirus HIV and some others enter our systems unnoticeably. Have we maybe thought negatively of HIV, when it clearly is in our system, as if needed for one another … we just haven’t fully understood of DNA, it’s full capacity - amongst that “97 percent junk” that is unreadable and scientists believe there is no reason for it’s existence.

    Sander, a colleague of mine at work recently said to me that humans seek out interpretation and meaning, when really all it is simple existence and chance. But aren’t we here to figure out what it all means, experience this, question it .. So what are these high definition symbols in the sky mean? what are they trying to communicate to us and why at this time?

    I really don’t know what it all means, it’s a hopeful and romantic thought maybe of wanting to take a deep lunge to the future of being, and of course to meet other ‘beings,’ and understand their language, it can all be speculations .. But how could it not be all connected and related? it feels that in this state of being, everything is related and connected for a reason, it all has meaning and worth?

    What I find interesting is that, one might first think... 'Wow, these are some pretty esoteric messages for a supposed higher intelligence to beam down!'. When something a bit more straightforward might be more appropriate & meaningful.

    But I see it another way. Considering if this information is being communicated in the language of proteins, dna, and chromosomes, etc... All of this is the very stuff of life... and moreover, the very stuff of us. If anyone should be able to comprehend the language of life, it should be us. So I feel (and feel is the operative word here), that at a more direct, intuitive, & sub-consciouss level, we do instinctually understand this life-language. It resides deep in the very roots of our cosmic being. This enigmatic 'star stuff' as Sagan would call it.

    From Sagan's essay, "The Cosmic Connection"
    "We are made of star stuff.

    Our atomic and molecular connection with the rest of the universe is a real and unfanciful cosmic hookup. As we explore our surroundings by telescope and space vehicle, other hookups may emerge. There may be a network of intercommunicating extraterrestrial civilizations to which we may link up tomorrow, for all we know. The deep human need to seek and understand our connection with the universe is a goal well within our grasp."
