What is life? From a scientific point of view, living things share certain qualities.
What is life from a metaphysical or spiritual point of view? Life is perceived as a quality that permeates all things. From our perspective in a physical body, we experience life as a series of events to which we react, respond, and give meaning. Do not forget, the physical Universe is being projected by the collective subconscious human mind. The purpose of this projection is to answer the question, "What if it were possible to be separate?" The answer, of course, is that being separate, from source, each other, our bodies, the earth, is neither physically nor metaphysically possible. Therefore, the only way to answer this question, to have this experience, is to create an illusion of separation. Life is what we really are. What we call our lives, from birth to death in these physical bodies, is actually the experience of one point of view in the illusion of separation, during which we come to know (or go through) that which we are not. It is this contrast of knowing what we are not that causes us to remember who we are. Gaining this perspective is like climbing a mountain and looking back on the valley where you started your hike. Or you can think of it as creating a mirror, so you can see a reflection of yourself. The image in the mirror is not you, but you gain some information from the reflection. This is the purpose of "life" in the physical dimension. Life is not a body, or a set of qualities shared by what we perceive as the plant and animal kingdoms. Life is what we are. It is a force that shapes and experiences the world we all live in. What is life? To explore and learn more about this question, please click on the links below...

The God Code The Secret of Our Past, the Promise of Our Future by Gregg Braden 
What would it mean to discover an ancient language—a literal message—hidden within the DNA of life itself? What we once believed of our past is about to change. . . . A coded message has been found within the molecules of life, deep within the DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking Biblical alphabets to our genetic code, the “language of life” may now be read as the ancient letters of a timeless message. Regardless of race, religion, heritage, or lifestyle, the message is the same in each cell of every woman, child, and man, past and present.
