"life" which comes with consciousness is simply the universe reflecting on itself. Everything in the universe is made up of atoms including "ourselves".

Cells are the basic building blocks of life. We are made up of trillions of cells. If each cell were "conscious", they would think of you the same way we think of the interconnected consciousness of the 7 billion humans on this planet.

What I'm trying to say is that there are layers upon layers of "life". I believe it goes on endlessly in both directions and sometimes we get trapped into thinking too much about "I" or "me".

Life is what it is. Enjoy the fact that you're able to see and undertand a very small glimpse of it. That is truly a miracle.
