Serious consequences:  The Darwinian time frames of accidental mutation are not at work in these recent examples.  There is too much to be explained away unless something like awareness, intentionality, and purpose are admitted.  Genetic engineering failures and our tampering with natural processes has very serious consequences for us all.  The overall harm we do to ourselves could end up exceeding the benefits and result in our extinction as a species.

Another giant puzzle of physical reality is form.  We humans come to develop a picture of physical reality through our sensory mechanisms of sight, touch, sound, and smell.  It is only by being part of and interacting with physical reality that we are able to structure a picture of physical reality within the jelly like brain cells inside our skulls.  Physical reality is providing the informational inputs to our sensors thus is in effect talking to us and telling us about itself.  Even then the accuracy of that picture is only as good as our sensors.  Our image of form and physical structure is only representationally painted in our brain and can be distorted if we have bad eye sight, intellectual deficiency, or other sensory deformity.

The moment in form:  What we must remember when considering or experiencing physical form is that physical reality as an integrated whole has only one total form at any given moment.  Even though the whole of physical reality at any given moment consists of an infinite number of interconnected parts or points, we must remember that any single one of these parts or points cannot exist independently at any given moment.  Each part or point is an integral part of an ongoing physical reality and cannot exist by itself.  In essence, the only ultimate form is a single holistic physical reality within the single moment.  Physical reality is one single living organism.  Physical reality is the moment.

Imbedded image:  There is a guiding image imbedded in the sea of energy.  This image is coded in physical reality in the form of hidden physical and chemical laws of interaction.  We cannot see, touch, hear, or smell these laws of activity; we can only experience the results through our senses.  It's an ongoing program of continuing unstoppable activity.  The single ultimate whole form is one physical reality in the experiential moment programmed with a specific range of constraints and opportunities containing all the answers to our questions.

Ingredients:  The ingredients or components within physical reality collectively influence total form development.  The changing elementary ingredients within physical reality contain form directing potential.  Ingredient composition helps to channel the direction of continuing form development when subjected to input energy.  Like the appropriate ingredients of a cake that when mixed together and applying a certain amount of heat energy will produce the form of a cake; which in turn, when we eat the cake, provides us with the material ingredients and energy to maintain our ongoing physical form; which in turn, helps to maintain our position as a functioning part of total reality.  Ingredient composition and individual built-in ingredient constraints help to guide the direction of form development within the sea of energy.

Fluidity:  The influence of composition is a necessary but not an ultimate determiner of form.  Change in form during development can also be influenced by environmental constraints.  There is an interactive fluidity in an organism's response to changes in its environment.  There is an active exchange of information between the organism and the environment; a transcendent self-reference activity continually occurring within the whole of physical reality--a total integrated unity within the active moment.
