How to visit		The Puzzle: Being
*Are we mere fabrications of Eternons?*		No, we are not some machines fabricated by Eternons. We are not agglomerations of matter shaped and animated by Eternons. Our matter is Eternons. Our mind is Eternons. We are Eternons
*How many of these Eternons are we?*		It takes countless Eternons to form a simple atom, and billions of atoms to construct a single cell. As we are made of some hundred trillion cells, a truly immense number of Eternons is gathered in us.
*Are we these same Eternons for all our human life?*		Eternons constantly join and leave us as we eat, drink, breathe, and eliminate. Eternons also come and go as radiation we absorb and emit. Almost all the Eternons that make our body are periodically renewed. Nonetheless, high level Eternons leading crucial organs, such as our brain, remain with us during our entire lifetime. (see the figure "Your Eternal Life")
*How can we be an individual if we are a mass of countless, mobile Eternons?*		Each one of our particles is an energy field encompassing the fields of all the Eternons who form this particle. The same applies to our atoms, our molecules, our cells, our tissues, our organs, and thus to our entire structure. Eventually, all our countless and mobile Eternons are summed up in the energy field of the unique and stable Leading Eternon that we are. It is as this Leading Eternon that we feel our oneness. It is as this Leading Eternon that we experience life as a unique and separate individual. This Leading Eternon is our real "I."
*What makes our Leading Eternon so special?*		Their level of consciousness distinguishes Eternons. Less conscious Eternons carry little information and lead the simplest structures. More enlightened Leading Eternons have accumulated greater knowledge and are responsible for elaborate structures. We are such an enlightened Leading Eternon. The Eternon who has assembled our body and is energizing our mind. The Eternon who brings to our present structure the cosmic wisdom it has acquired through earlier ones.
*Where in our body is our Leading Eternon located?*		Eternons are not little things. Eternons are cosmic energy. Every structure they create is a combination of energy waves. This is why the whole universe is an undulatory phenomenon. So are we. Our Leading Eternon is the sum of the waves of all our other Eternons: it is everywhere within our body. More exactly: it is our body.
How does this wave concept agree with the reality of our physical existence?		Physical reality is based on matter. But what we call "matter" is only an interpretation of energy by our human sense perception. No doubt that physical reality appears totally different to an atom or to a cell that lack our senses. The world of dense and colored matter we may touch and see is only vibrating energy. Yet, this somewhat illusory aspect of physical reality does not mean, as we often hear, that there is no such reality or that all is mere creation of the mind. Ultimately, the energy we interpret as matter is real.
*How did we become the specific human we are?*		We began with a female egg and a male sperm, the Eternon gametes of our parents. At the time they met, these rather common Eternons had no previous experience of building a human. Although their fusion created our complete set of genes, the knowledge for using this set had to come from a far more experienced Eternon. We are this Leading Eternon. The one who has assembled the human we are from the DNA blue print supplied by our mother and father Eternons. See the figure showing the humanization of a Leading Eternon.
What about the humans conceived with the intervention of modern medical science?		We hear of sperm banks, in-vitro fecundation, surrogate mothers and clones. All this has to do with fighting infertility or bringing together genetic material. But again, reproductive cells are not the decisive elements in starting a new life. The body produces them in quantities and they are replaceable. Sperms may be frozen and eggs may be lost in menstruation, with no further consequence. Quite different is the situation of the fertilized egg. Here, we already have the presence of the indispensable Leading Eternon. Here, we have a true new life. Whether this life begins to develop in a test tube, a foreign womb, or elsewhere, is secondary.
What is the influence of our parents?		Leaving aside our Leading Eternon, our structure includes many other competent Eternons. None, however, are as influential as our parental gametes. These gametes carry our genetic heritage. To them, we owe the physical and spiritual traits we share on both our mother’s and our father’s sides. Besides, in addition to their biological contribution, our parents have a profound cultural impact on us during the years we spend together. Nevertheless—and no matter how strong their influence may be—we are not a continuation of one or both of our parents. We all are born as the materialization of a perfectly distinct Eternon. This is why siblings may have so different personalities, even when they look alike and are raised together. This is also why exceptionally gifted thinkers, scientists, statespersons, and artists may be born to the most obscure parents. A child is far more than the product of genes and familial environment. A child is a unique Eternon with a unique identity and a unique history.
How do we relate to our children?		We do not survive through our progeny. Our "I" is not split if we happen to have many children. Nor does it vanish if we have none. Parents and offspring are separate Eternons with separate destinies. Like our parents did to us, we transmit to our children pages of genetic information. These pages are our sole material relation in the great book of life. Evidently, both with our parents and our children, we have spiritual relations. But these, we may also have with any other Eternon.
*If we are the materialization of an experienced Eternon, where does this Eternon come from?*		The Leading Eternon who made, and is, our present human structure has existed since the creation of the universe. It has participated in many structures. It has already assembled and guided other human structures, from conception to dissolution. "The Story of E" illustrates what may have been our past.
