Idealism|Physicalism

It is the human mind-body complex through which the truth of "idealism" is arrived at.
Idealism states that consciousness is the only reality.
Yes, BUT this reality can have different manifestations such as the physical body or other physical objects.
Humans arrive at truth not stones or rocks.
The idealists assert that consciousness is the "only"reality.
Idealism is directly of the 1st person|subject while physicalism is subject |object based. The object is manifestation.
The techniques via which the idealist conclusions are arrived at are practised by the human mind body complex i.e thinking , meditation etc. The human body (which is manifestation of this consciousness) is the truthful fact accepted by the physicalists.

Fundamentalism occurs when either idealists or materialists are UNABLE to recognize the perspective different from their own.

From Existentialism to Existential Enquiry

The existentialism of  Albert Camus etc asks- What is the Meaning of Existence ?
The existential enquiry of Vedanta asks- Who am I ?

Cancer-Chaotic oncogenic mutation-Epigenomic Alteration-Phase Transition-Metastasis

Hypothesis of Cancer:

1.Probably the epigenome of a cell is modified by an oncogenic mutation. Phenotypic plasticity/tumor heterogeneity occurs in this process.
2. This modified epigenome overrides the inhibitory signaling of tumor microenvironment. Chaos ensues.
3. The above (2) breaks cell cell interactions leading to tumor cells release from primary site and spread i.e. invasion.
4. Altered epigenome leads to epithelial mesenchymal transition.
5. Tumor cells at secondary site  undergo mesenchymal epithelial transition due to restored epigenome in a new microenvironment.
6. As critical threshlod of oncogenic protein/signaling activity is breached (1) happens again.
7. A vicious cycle of tumor growth and spread ensues.
8. Altered expression/phenotype of tumor cells  containing oncogenic mutation occurs via phase transition.
9. The unpredictable component is how the epigenome is altered from a normal one to a cancerous one via the  oncogenic mutation.

Analogy with an Enzymatic Reaction:

Initiator-Oncogenic mutation, Epigenome alteration/Ist hit
Catalyst-Altered Tumor Microenvironment /2nd hit
Reactants-Normal cell
Product/s-Tumor cell

Integration: Conscious Field---Gross matter

Universal Consciousness/Unifying Field/Equilibrium-----> Disrupted Equilibrium-----> Phase Transition/Multiple Vibrations=Abstract Mathematical Reality/Subtle matter/Mind---->Interactions of Vibrations through Resonance-------> Phase Transition of Vibrational energy to Gross Matter/Physical Reality.

Question-Homeostasis/Chaos

Are Homeostatic mechanisms and chaotic mechanisms inversely related to each other ?
Homeostatic mechanisms=Meditation=Nivritti/Inward stillness.
Chaotic mechanisms=Outward activity=Pravritti.
