Yooooo G hahaha that's some ill stuff right there - respect. I did some more research and found this: While colonial animals can have their immortality, solitary individuals are doomed to die. Hydrozoan cnidarians usually have a complex life cycle, wherein a colonial stage leads to the sexually mature, solitary, adult stage. Eggs and sperm from solitary, sexual, adult medusa (jellyfish) develop into an embryo and planula larva, and they then form the colonial polyp stage. Medusae are formed asexually from polyps. These medusae have a limited lifespan and die shortly after releasing their gametesWhat interests me is how the colonies only survive and out of the colony comes the individual organism. Therefore from many comes one and from one come many. A metaphysical principle we're all familiar with. As for the concept of immortality it's crazy how these jellyfish re-cycle their being without totally dying physically. Also it's not that much different from the rebirth cycle of all beings here. Another thing is what we're doing here is we're tracing the Divine's patters. Through this animals procreational patters we see a deeper expression of spiritual law. We see this with any other science but this one is just straight crazy. Another thing we can bring up is how we can correlate this animate being which probably is not even conscious of its consciousness and its physical rebirth patters can lead us into areas of philosophy, spirituality and metaphysics. How conscious humans have the natural tendency to think within frames of unified/holistic ideas. But that's a whole new thing really. PEACE
