Trees are great visual examples of the torus 4 phase process of life because they begin and end with a network of branches - drawing in elements from the soil and energy from the sun and cycling them through the complex behavior system of the cells.
If you could see the water within the cycle of becoming that is a tree, you would see water flowing toward the tree in the soil, entering the tree through the roots, rising up through the trunk and out into the branches and into the air.
Water cycles through the tree like a fountain, carrying minerals to weave the energy of the sun and carbon dioxide with the DNA memories of the tree cells to create the appearance of the tree.
The water enters the tree through root hairs and is lifted to the highest leaves by evaporation of water through stomata; tiny mouths on the bottom of the leaves.
The stomata also inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen back into the air.
Organelles within the leaf cells called chloroplasts use energy from the sun to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen and create organic molecules to grow and maintain the tree. The chloroplasts also split the Carbon Dioxide molecules to make organic molecules to feed the tree.
Water, minerals, carbon dioxide and sunlight flow into the tree and it grows, branches out, and releases oxygen, water vapor, dead leaves and live seeds to carry on the behavior pattern to the next generation.
1. Elements, energy and information flow into the being, captured by the organism's web of communications.
2. The being's perceptions, memories and responses change the direction and relationship of the elements, energy and information.
3. Causing the flow to branch out into patterns of behavior to form the basis for the next cycle of becoming.
4. Then a feedback control detects the results of each action (you can see trees tracking their responses by the use of time lapse photography). and modifies the behavior in the next cycle.
This pattern of becoming is true for every living process or being.
Take a few minutes to think about it - visualize information, atoms, light, coming together from a wide area, entering into your focus, weaving together with your memories. The blend of memories and inflowing information result in your response flowing away from you in one way or another and then observing the effects of your response to see if it worked.
