Root and Source Theory Fundamental Questions and Answers

What do you mean by energy? Scientific or metaphorical? 

My theory uses energy in the biological sense. 

Energy is not metaphorical, spiritual, or mystical. It is: 

• the electrical activity of the nervous system 

• the chemical energy transferred through oxygen and iron 

• the stability of homeostasis 

• the kinetic and metabolic processes that keep the body alive 

When I say “consciousness is energy,” I mean: 

consciousness is the organized electrical-chemical activity of a living nervous system. 

When I say “the body must hold and conduct energy,” I mean: 

the body must maintain stable pathways so consciousness can function without collapsing. 

This is not theoretical “life force.” This is measurable biological energy — the same energy that: 

• fires neurons 

• regulates autonomic function 

• keeps the heart in rhythm 

• powers metabolic cycles 

Everything in my theory uses real, biological, testable energy. 

If consciousness requires a body, how do you explain near-death experiences or awareness during flatline?

My autonomic dysfunction shows the answer directly. 

I collapse, faint, and “flatline” functionally almost every day. 

My body becomes unresponsive — doctors and bystanders assume I’m unconscious. 

But I am fully conscious inside a body that temporarily cannot respond. 

This proves awareness can remain active even when biological responsiveness collapses. 

Near-death experiences are not souls leaving the body. They are moments where: 

• the body loses functional stability 

• the energy system is still briefly active 

• consciousness is still present 

• the pathway (body) is failing but not yet disconnected 

At true biological death, there is a measurable energetic release: 

the nervous system’s energy leaves because the body can no longer hold it. 

What people interpret as seeing heaven or “leaving the body” is actually: 

the final window where consciousness is still active while the body has already stopped functioning. 

This same window happens to me repeatedly — which is why I understand it clearly. 

If source energy can pair with different bodies, why don’t we remember past roots? 

Memory is biological, not energetic. 

Even if “source energy” could theoretically pair with a new body, memory depends entirely on: 

• a specific brain 

• specific neural connections 

• specific chemical pathways 

• specific life experiences 

When the body dies: 

• the root (physical body) 

• the neural architecture 

• the memory structures 

all collapse. 

Source energy does not store memory on its own. 

Therefore: 

A new root = a new body = a new brain = no access to any previous memories. 

This explains why: 

• people do not remember past lives 

• consciousness cannot “carry” memory outside the nervous system 

Only the nervous system stores memory, and it dies with the body. 

If consciousness begins at first breath, what is fetal awareness? 

Fetal activity is biological, but it is not consciousness of the self. 

Before birth: 

• the fetus is powered by the mother’s energy 

• neural activity is driven by maternal chemistry 

• reflexes and movement are automatic 

• the fetus is still part of the mother’s biological system 

There is no independent energy system yet. 

Consciousness begins when the baby takes its first breath. The introduction of oxygen: 

• activates independent neural oscillations 

• initiates independent autonomic regulation 

• separates the baby’s energy system from the mother’s 

• creates a new unified self 

Fetal behavior ≠ consciousness. 

Consciousness begins when the system becomes autonomous — at first breath. 

Even Christianity reflects this: life is breathed into the body. 

This is the physical moment the system becomes an independent energy system. 

Can artificial intelligence ever have consciousness? 

No — AI cannot have consciousness, because consciousness depends on a biological pathway. 

In my theory, everything comes down to biology: 

• atoms • protons • neutrons • electrons 

• energy transfer • kinetic movement • homeostasis 

These are the building blocks that create the specific conditions for consciousness. 

Consciousness only forms when source energy pairs with a biological root — a living body. 

AI has no biological root, no metabolism, no oxygen-based activation, no homeostasis, and no energetic boundary. It cannot conduct the kind of energy that becomes consciousness. 

AI models are limited by the person using them. They have: 

• no body 

• no source energy 

• no biological pathway 

• no nervous system 

• no autonomous learning 

• no lived experience 

Everything AI generates comes from human input. 

It does not experience anything and cannot produce consciousness without biology. 

AI is a simulation — not a consciousness. 

How does your theory interact with religions that say life begins before birth or continues after death? 

I don’t think most religions originally taught that life begins before birth. In early texts, life usually begins with breath. 

This pattern appears in: 

• Christianity 

• the Hermetica 

• many ancient origin stories 

Breath marks the moment the body becomes “alive.” 

Over time, religion became tied to politics and culture. Interpretations changed. 

My theory aligns with the original pattern: 

Life — meaning consciousness — begins when breath activates the body and separates it from the mother. 

This matches both biological reality and early religious frameworks. 

Is this scientifically testable, or is it just philosophical? 

Yes — it is testable through repeatable patterns across systems. 

Biology: 

• kinetic energy • neural firing • autonomic collapse 

• homeostasis • metabolic processes 

Earth systems: 

• geothermal flow • atmospheric balance • magnetic stability 

Universe systems: 

• gravitational wells • dark matter pathways • dark energy expansion 

My lived medical experience is also a test case: 

I remain conscious while my body loses function — a repeatable, documented pattern. 

The pattern is measurable. The system repeats across domains. 

If energy continues after the body dies, why doesn’t consciousness continue? 

Energy continues after death, but consciousness does not. 

Consciousness exists because: 

• universal energy 

• oxygen-based energy 

• biological energy 

are connected through this specific nervous system. 

Your consciousness = your energy + your biology. 

When the biology dies, the nervous system collapses. 

The structure that organizes the “you” pattern disappears. 

Energy releases — but the self does not continue. 

There is no continuation of identity, only the release of unpatterned energy. 

How does this theory explain dissociation, collapse, and ‘coming back online’? 

The theory describes two systems: 

1. the body (root energy / biological conduction) 

2. the consciousness (source energy / nervous system activity) 

My disability is in the biological system (genetic mutation), not the consciousness. 

My body cannot always hold the energy my brain produces. 

It short-circuits, loses homeostasis, collapses, and reboots. 

But my consciousness stays online. 

During episodes: 

• I hear my name 

• I know I’ve collapsed 

• I think “wake up, Kelly” 

• I remember everything 

The body fails. Consciousness remains. Reintegration happens when the body stabilizes. 

This mismatch — high-capacity consciousness + unstable biology — explains dissociation, fainting, collapse, and reintegration.
