Check out Rudolf Steiner's "Philosophy of Freedom" – he always said this was his greatest work, by far.
He says: EVERYTHING we know comes from two sources: (1) perception; and (2) thinking. Percept and concept.
Consciousness, he says, is the stage upon which percept and concept unite.
Take a look at the left/right brain separation. The left brain is narrative, "thinking", focus, creating a logical sequence, linear processing. The right brain is big picture perception, a big blur, parallel processing.
Thinking is a universal, spiritual activity; perception is a function of your body, stuck here on this small planet.
Putting these two processes together reunites what was torn apart when we descended to the physical plane and got trapped in these 3D bodies.
Your perceptions are personal to you; when you think about them, you integrate them back into the universal process.
Psychologists have no clue what consciousness "is" – take a careful look at Steiner's definition, it is the clue to all knowledge. And it IS magic: you do not constitute yourself as a thinking being, it is only by the grace of thinking itself, the power of the Universal Mind, that you are able to integrate your perceptions into a coherent whole and identify yourself as a "thinking subject".
DNA has been proved to be a fractal antenna, absorbing and radiating electromagnetic radiation.
Biophotons (which regulate cell chemistry in real time) have long been shown to be emitted by DNA (Fritz-Albert Popp proved this in the 1970s, now replicated by many studies in Russia, China and Japan in particular – they are way ahead of the West in biophoton research.)
The endlessly repeated "junk" sequences in DNA are part of the fractal antenna system. If we admitted that we knew what this "junk" DNA did, all genetic modification would have to stop – it's all based on inserting genes into the "junk", which our clever scientists think does nothing. They are doing true junk science.
"DNA is a fractal antenna in electromagnetic fields": paper by the late Martin Blank, who issued huge warnings about 5G just before he died.

Absolutely, epigenetics has proved conclusively that acquired traits (like immunity) can be inherited by following generations. This is pure Lamarckism; but do you think they teach in universities that Lamarck was actually correct?
