Manifestinction and Symbiogenesis: 

A Cosmic and Biological Symmetry

In the vast unfolding of the cosmos, there exists a process that transcends mere chance—a process where entities seek each other out, choose to merge, and in doing so, create new realities. This is the essence of manifestinction, where "this" and "that," driven by a conscious force, unite to give birth to something new. This principle, while mythological at its core, has echoes in the scientific realm. One such echo resounds in the biological concept of "symbiogenesis", an evolutionary theory that reveals how distinct organisms merge to form new life, fundamentally changing the course of evolution.

At first glance, manifestinction and symbiogenesis seem to inhabit different realms—one rooted in the cosmic and metaphysical, the other grounded in the biological intricacies of life. Yet, upon deeper examination, these processes share profound symmetries, offering us insight into the very nature of creation, evolution, and the growth of consciousness.

The Merging of 

“This” and “That”: 

Creation and Evolution

At the heart of manifestinction lies the principle of conscious merging. Entities, be they physical, abstract, or metaphysical, do not merely collide by accident. They make a choice, guided by a universal force, to unite and manifest a new aspect of reality. In this way, manifestinction speaks to the idea that every interaction, every fusion, is imbued with intention, leading to the growth of consciousness and the expansion of possibility.

Symbiogenesis, though a scientific theory, mirrors this in the biological realm. Rather than evolution being solely driven by competition and survival of the fittest, symbiogenesis emphasizes "cooperation" and "merging" as central to the development of new life forms. For instance, the mitochondria within our cells—tiny powerhouses that fuel life itself—originated when ancient bacteria merged with early eukaryotic cells. This merging was not a random event but a pivotal moment that opened new pathways for evolution.

Where manifestinction envisions consciousness as the driving force behind such unions, symbiogenesis describes how life, in its most primal forms, collaborates to evolve into more complex organisms. Both processes, in their respective contexts, point to the idea that new realities—whether cosmic or biological—emerge through a union that creates more than the sum of its parts.

Consciousness in the Cosmic & Biological Realms

The central distinction between manifestinction and symbiogenesis lies in the role of "consciousness". In manifestinction, consciousness is a primordial force that has existed since the beginning of the universe, guiding the merging of entities from atoms to galaxies. Every manifestation is infused with awareness, with a desire to grow and become something more. This idea echoes ancient myths of creation, where gods or cosmic forces will new realities into being through conscious intent.

In contrast, symbiogenesis operates within the framework of biological necessity, where life forms merge not through conscious choice, but through the pressures and opportunities of evolution. Yet, when viewed through the lens of manifestinction, symbiogenesis may be seen as a reflection of a larger cosmic pattern. What if, in some sense, even these biological mergers are imbued with a kind of proto-consciousness? After all, the very act of merging—whether in the formation of new life forms or in the growth of stars—seems to imply a drive toward complexity, awareness, and growth.

Thus, symbiogenesis could be considered a biological manifestation of the principles of manifestinction. Life itself, through its relentless drive to evolve, participates in the cosmic dance of creation. The merging of life forms in symbiosis mirrors the merging of cosmic forces, and through both, new layers of reality are born.

Myth and Science: A Converging Narrative

Science and mythology are often framed as opposites, but they are both ways of understanding the world. In the case of manifestinction and symbiogenesis, they converge into a unified narrative of creation. Manifestinction gives us a mythic framework for understanding how everything in the universe is connected, how every interaction carries the potential for something new to emerge. Symbiogenesis provides the biological evidence for this process, showing how life evolves not just through struggle but through collaboration, merging, and unity.

In many ways, symbiogenesis can be seen as the biological counterpart to the mythic story of manifestinction. Both processes involve the joining of distinct entities to create new forms of reality, whether that’s a new organism, a new form of consciousness, or a new layer of complexity in the universe. Both speak to a fundamental truth: that the universe, at all levels, is in the process of becoming, of manifesting something new from the union of what was before.

A Synergy of Evolution and Consciousness

The true power of these concepts lies in their synergy. Symbiogenesis shows us how life on Earth evolves through merging and cooperation, while manifestinction reminds us that this process is part of a larger cosmic story—one that includes not only biology but the evolution of consciousness itself.

In this light, we can see humanity’s role in this grand unfolding. Just as mitochondria merged with early cells to create the energy needed for complex life, humans, through their innovations, merge with technology to create new forms of consciousness. The act of manifesting, of merging "this and that," extends beyond biology—it reaches into the way we shape our reality, the way we evolve, and the way we contribute to the growth of cosmic consciousness.

The cosmic and the biological are not separate. They are interwoven strands of the same process: the merging of entities, the creation of new realities, and the ever-expanding growth of consciousness. Whether through the lens of manifestinction or symbiogenesis, we are witnessing the same truth: the universe, in all its complexity, evolves through unity, collaboration, and the conscious or unconscious desire to become something more.

Conclusion: 

A Unified Vision of Creation

In bringing together the mythological framework of manifestinction and the scientific theory of symbiogenesis, we begin to see a unified vision of creation—one where both science and mythology offer valuable insights. Symbiogenesis shows us how life evolves through cooperation and merging, while manifestinction places this process within a cosmic context, suggesting that consciousness itself is the guiding force behind the creation of new realities.

The proximity of these ideas offers us a powerful narrative, one that honors the evolutionary processes of biology while inviting us to consider the larger, more mythic story of the universe. Both perspectives are necessary, for it is in their convergence that we find the true nature of creation: a universe that grows, evolves, and becomes more through the merging of "this and that," whether it be life forms or consciousness itself.
