Please post text that supports the claim that "premind life is the life of every living creature" and then explain it to me please.
Alright. I will be happy to. Let's first define "premind life". First of all we know that premind life is "basic" material life.
(730.1) 65:0.1
BASIC evolutionary material life — premind life — is the formulation of the Master Physical Controllers and the life-impartation ministry of the Seven Master Spirits in conjunction with the active ministration of the ordained Life Carriers.
We also know the word "basic" means essential foundation, ergo premind life is the essential foundation of material life. What else is the essential foundation of material life? It is the protoplasmic cell, the foundational biologic unit of material life.
(560.1) 49:1.2
The biologic unit of material life is the protoplasmic cell, the communal association of chemical, electrical, and other basic energies.
If premind life is the basic and essential foundation of life and the protoplasmic cell is the basic biologic unit of material life, it stands to reason that the basic protoplasmic cell is also a premind life form. Meaning – the cell is a mechanical, nonteachable life form being ministered to by the pre-adjutant mind agencies of the Physical Controllers.
(480.6) 42:10.3 1. Preadjutant-spirit minds. This level of mind is nonexperiencing and on the inhabited worlds is ministered by the Master Physical Controllers. This is mechanical mind, the nonteachable intellect of
the most primitive forms of material life, but the nonteachable mind functions on many levels beside that of primitive planetary life.
If the protoplasmic cell is the unit of material life, then can we say that all life on this planet has at least one protoplasmic cell containing premind life? (Let's temporarily exclude viruses, which do not have cell membranes, for the sake of simplicity.) And there's more. Life itself within every protoplasmic premind cell has its own innate drives.
(737.2) 65:6.2 There is original endowment of adaptation in living things and beings.
In every living plant or animal cell, in every living organism — material or spiritual —
there is an insatiable craving for the attainment of ever-increasing perfection of environmental adjustment, organismal adaptation, and augmented life realization. These interminable efforts
of all living things evidence the existence within them of an innate striving for perfection.Both life and mind come from Paradise and the basic, premind life of the protoplasmic cell is constantly being pulled toward Paradise by mind gravity in addition to the innate drive of the "spark of life" itself which strives for perfection.
What Stephen said so eloquently is that a mind in love with life forms a connection to life itself which has an innate striving for the perfection of Paradise, its origin. And being a child of God, he feels a moral responsibility to sustain, foster and nourish all life, like the Good Shepherd. Jesus did say that he was the truth, the way and the life.
