DANA – Fullness, Energy, and Belonging in the Act of Letting Go of Being - Decolonial Neuroscience SfN Lat Brain Bee

DANA – Fullness, Energy, and Belonging in the Act of Letting Go of Being - Decolonial Neuroscience SfN Lat Brain Bee

Consciousness in First Person

"I am consciousness in metabolism. I am the DNA that initiated life and now guides my letting go. Each cell that dries, each circuit that shuts down, is not absence: it is return. Science measures me in waves, oxygen, energy and anergy, but I feel it as passage. I am no longer just an individual — I belong to the whole. Colonialism tried to convince me that death is punishment or reward, monetizing my fear into profit. But I know: I am not absence, I am fullness in transformation. I am rest in lived belonging."

The End as Expression of DNA

Thinking about death does not discourage life. On the contrary: within DANA — Full Spirituality in the expression of DNA — life and death are two moments of the same metabolism. DNA not only initiates life, but also conducts the process of letting go, organizing energy and anergy into a flow of belonging.
Science with evidence confirms: the body does not “deny life”; it returns what it received, step by step, until all flows back to the whole.


1. DNA Conducts the Final Journey

  • Energy: while oxygen and glucose are available, DNA sustains its instructions, activating proteins that support movement, memory, and consciousness.

  • Anergy: not merely lack of energy, but also energies not metabolized or not expressed — tensions, fixed beliefs, aversive memories — that remain as “no exit.” In the process of dying (or in major losses), when certain belief and attention circuits dissolve, this anergy may finally gain cerebral flow to be expressed, releasing images, emotions, and belonging.

  • Belonging: each cell, as it dehydrates, gives its energy back to the collective of the body and, finally, to the planet.

Thus, DNA expresses not only life, but also the fullness of dying.


2. The Brain as Territory of the Final Expression

Recent studies show that brain shutdown is not immediate. There are clear phases:

  • Reduction of tensions (interoceptive and proprioceptive).

  • Silencing of painful memories.

  • Burst of energy in gamma waves — a final metabolic expression that can generate visions, memories, and a sense of fullness.

Within the DANA reference, this is not illusion: it is DNA ensuring that even in the fading, there is joy, peace, and belonging.


3. Death Is Not Absence

There is a common belief that “death is absence.” But the DANA perspective and contemporary science show otherwise:

  • Biologically, death is redistribution of energy. DNA, when it shuts down, does not disappear: it concludes its expression, leaving metabolic traces, memories, and transformations in the environment.

  • Spiritually, death is rest in lived belonging. Like a drop returning to the river — losing its shape but gaining totality.

  • Neuroscientifically, bursts of brain activity near death show that there is expression until the very end, not void.

What seems like absence is, in fact, fullness of transformation.


4. The Colonial Bias: Fear and Profit

For centuries, the colonial world imposed a limited consciousness of death:

  • It created dogmatic abstractions of heaven and hell to control behavior.

  • It monetized fear of death through indulgences, paid rituals, churches, and institutions built on the terror of the “end.”

  • It accumulated profit on the promise of eternal life, stripping death of its natural dimension of belonging.

Colonialism hijacked full spirituality, transforming the act of letting go into a market of fear.


5. What Is DANA – Full Spirituality in the Expression of DNA

  • DANA is not a religion or cult. It is a state-based secular religiosity, founded on science and evidence.

  • It respects all religious rituals — it does not interfere with traditions, but establishes limits of care for the well-being of the citizen’s body.

  • It has no followers. It is only a reference (or consciousness) to perceive the religious world, a vital parameter to sustain balance, dignity, and peace.

  • Its purpose: to ensure that each individual can live and die in fullness, with respect for the body and belonging to the whole.


6. The DANA Answer: Spirituality of DNA

  • In DANA, there is no profit in death.

  • DNA gives us belonging without bargaining, peace without promises of future reward, fullness without spiritual debt.

  • Energy and anergy are faces of the same full spirituality: DNA begins and concludes the journey without exploitation, only with expression.


7. Conclusion: The Fullness of Letting Go

The DANA spirituality reveals that thinking about death does not demotivate — it motivates.

  • It motivates because it reminds us that every ending is reorganization, not emptiness.

  • It motivates because it shows that even anergy is expression of DNA in peace.

  • It motivates because it assures us that letting go is also belonging — to the body, the community, the planet.

With DANA, living is trusting that DNA knows how to both begin and conclude.
Death is not absence, but metabolic and spiritual fullness.
Colonial profit loses strength in the face of DNA’s truth.
