Extract: Recently,
however, there is been a revival of a less familiar position called
panpsychism. Panpsychism is the claim that consciousness is not just a property
of the brain, and not a property of some special spiritual kind of substance
like the soul, but rather a property of everything in the universe. Even a rock
or a pebble or an atom has a little bit of consciousness in it. Panpsychism has
been endorsed by two distinguished neuroscientists, Christof Koch and Guilio
Tononi. Why would anyone hold this view?
This doesn’t say that everything is consciousness but that
everything has a bit of consciousness in it; this is endorsed by two prominent
neuroscientists. The point is that
science is looking further and further into consciousness and is at least
theorising that everything could have a bit of consciousness in it.
Extract: Every day
experience is a projected reality where things only appear to be separated in
time and space. In a deeper reality, we are all members of the same body. When
one part of the body moves, every other part is instantly affected. Separation
is an illusion. There is a dimension of reality where we are all inseparably
one. When we feel love in any form, it has the effect of beginning to shatter
that illusion.
When two electrons
collide, they exchange energy and information with each other. From then
onwards, no matter where one electron is, you will be able to tell the location
and momentum of the other. When a change occurs in one electron, it will immediately
be reflected in the other. You are always able to know in one, what is going on
in the other. When you cause change in one, you cause change in the other. We
exchange portions of our energy fields with each other when we come into
contact, therefore we remain inseparably connected at all times.
This is of course saying that everything is of consciousness
and that everything is interconnected, this of course isn’t science based which
to me doesn’t make it any less plausible.
Either everything has a bit of consciousness in it or it’s
all made from conciseness it’s still referring to consciousness or a
consciousness, this means in one way or another humans are of consciousness and
so is everything that humans experience. This consciousness determines
everything we do and are. Because
consciousness has no barriers but what we give it, it is able to be turned into
anything, this means we are able to turn this consciousness into anything so
why are we unable to do this?
1/ For starters, we think we are unable to turn
consciousness into anything.
2/ Awareness, we are not aware that we are this
consciousness we are able to change.
3/ Barriers, consciousness itself does not have barriers, we
use consciousness in a way to give us barriers which stops us from being able
to change this consciousness.
We do indeed as consciousness instil barriers on ourselves
which stops us from being able to change this consciousness at will and will
itself is but one of these barriers. We
judged that we have no free will and that time is an illusion and we also judged
judgement as being wrong in some way and so on. These are all barriers we have instilled on
ourselves which hinder us from changing or being able to influence
consciousness to what we want it to reflect; we must remember consciousness
itself has no barriers so why do we instil these barriers? Awareness, we are
for starters quite unaware that we are instilling barriers which stop us from
influencing consciousness in any significant way.
We have judged that we have no free will, is this not a
barrier which consciousness itself doesn’t have unless a consciousness instils
such a barrier upon itself, it’s all an illusion anyway so what’s the point,
yet another barrier we have instilled upon ourselves, upon a consciousness that
doesn’t have barriers to start with. Judging judgment as being wrong is a typical barrier we instil on
ourselves, why does anything have to be wrong or right, why can’t it just be.
Judgement is one of the most typical barriers we use to take
away our ability to change consciousness, it’s a huge barrier for the main
reason we usually judged what is wrong and what is right or what is an illusion
and what’s not. Judgement also fragments
this consciousness even more by giving us labels for everything when all what
everything is, is consciousness. Time
itself is of fragmented consciousness which allows whole consciousness to
interact with itself creating whatever comes from this interaction; it doesn’t
need to enforce this fragmentation with judgment as well. I believe a mix of time and judgement has
created something alright, chaos!!
Time itself has given us ego as it’s naturally of the ego
and of judgement, this allows time to create and allow a consciousness to be
creative, the natural form of ego and judgement are quite constructively
creative. In this natural form it never becomes controlling of consciousness
but in it’s unnatural form it controls all of what consciousness is, this is
when the ego becomes destructive. In
this destructive form we could judge that the ego is wrong or bad because of
it’s destructiveness but all it is doing is being creative and creating
destruction within time. Time creates whatever we want it to create or whatever
consciousness wants to create by interacting with itself through fragmented
consciousness, this interaction is truly neither bad nor good, right nor wrong,
by judging so all we are doing is putting up more barriers which further stops
us from influencing consciousness.
It really comes down to being aware that we are of this
consciousness itself and that we can influence this consciousness if we don’t
instil so many barriers upon ourselves. These barriers also include stress and trauma
of any kind. And one more thing, remember it’s only consciousness, we can, if
we have enough will and awareness, to change consciousness either it be of
trauma or stress or of any other barrier we instil upon ourselves.
