I have considered consciousness from many different perspectives. The perspective I am currently exploring is that there is only one consciousness.

For the sake of this description lets call it universal consciousness, and lets call the consciousness that could be seen as my consciousness, individual consciousness. They are both the same consciousness, but individual consciousness is only part (or a subset) of universal consciousness.

Now so far there is nothing physical in…

Here is a good one for you. Our adventures into space should be viewed as validation for what we have already have within.

When we are introduced into this world, our "consciousness" isn't large enough to understand our own hands and feet. Through an expansion of consciousness (and very rapidly at first) our awareness grows (we gather information), We define the world around us by what we discover within ourselves. We have no preconceptions, we have not yet been exposed to the limits…

Our science recognizes that a single neuron in our brain is incapable of thought, feeling, sight, or any of the things we use to gather information, make connections to that information to give it meaning so that we can understand anything.

Now consider that our society is our social mind. Each of us merely a neuron in it. If we apply "as above, so below", what does that say about anything, any of us might say or do?

I found this today, I find it interesting.

There is a new hire at work I started working with today. So of course there was social conversation throughout the day. On the way home I mentioned this forum, and he asked me what it was about.

I asked him to think about his favorite thing in the store, the thing he buys most often. I asked him what row it was in, before he could answer, I asked him what was the…

I have been rambling on here at the forum for some time now. It seems the more I post, the less everyone else does. I get the impression that the different ways I connect things (and I am aware of how far out there I can be) is having an adverse effect on the interactions here.

If this is so, I do sincerely apologize.

My goal is to introduce perspectives that cause others to question some paradigms that (I think) we tend to just accept.

I would like to ask (at this…
