Hello All,
I’ve been thinking and I’ve come up with some biting questions. First of all, to better understand where I am coming from, I will give you a little background into my belief system. I believe everything has its own consciousness, because consciousness is a shared phenomenon. When I pick up a toothbrush, all of my “memories” of using that toothbrush, my mother reminding me to brush my teeth, the benefits of brushing to prevent tooth decay, or even the marketing techniques or design of the toothbrush, are associated with not only my consciousness but that of billions of others who brush their teeth as well. Basically, I believe in a universal consciousness.
When we look at the world as a whole we can eliminate personal and centralized world views. I don’t think that we see and interact with the world and others with our eyes and brains. We experience the conscious memories of the object(s) within our view. For example, I love my fiance. You may not. I do because I have spent a lot of time with her. I have experienced her daily, for an extended period of time. She has become an integral part of my conscious memory. I love trees. You may not. A tree has its own consciousness and shares it with whoever looks at it, breathes in its oxygen, or touches it. A good example might be the case of when someone looks at you and you can feel them looking at you. I think you are simply receiving their conscious energy from the “ universal-conscious-pool.” I like to look at it as our consciousness being an “antenna,” interpreting different wavelengths for accessing the realm of reality.
Bodily function, inherited physical traits and things we see when we look in the mirror, are simply vehicles through which we explore the universal consciousness. The athlete may have a body like a Maserati, or a rich man may have a body like a Beetle. In my opinion, that is simply their own consciousness, interposing its will through "epigenetic transmutation" upon their bodies or their vehicles.
Our consciousness is a receptor for everything in the cosmos. “When one looks at a star,” stated Rupert Sheldrake in a recent Ted talk, “Ones mind zooms out into space to feel that star, to interact with its consciousness.” How else can one explain that alluring grasp you feel when you stargaze, or “converse with the stars,” per se. I wander.
When I look at wander, I wander… What is it about that feeling you get when you wander about something? I interpret it as seeing the cosmos with your mind’s eye, or with your third eye. The wander is our fuel for exploration through creativity. Maybe this third eye is the antenna through which we pick up feelings of wander, love, hate or evoke emotion through. Instead of derogatorily labeling wander, love, hate, bewilderment, or emotions in general, as products of the physical mind, I wander why we can’t we look at them as “signals” or “frequencies” that we receive with our “third eye antennae?”
What are phenomena? These unexplained things like experiencing ghosts or ESP. They are just written off as pseudoscience. Are these things just mental aberrations brought about by a chemical imbalance within some socio/psychopathic brain? Or are ghosts fragments of consciousness from someone that has passed away and ESP the manifestation of a “stronger” third eye? As I’ve stated before, I believe that when we die, the energy that was lent to us, returns to the universal consciousness. When someone hallucinates ghosts or experiences ESP, they are experiencing glimpses of the universal consciousness.
What about all of the revolutionary minds of the past and present? People like Leonardo Da’Vinci, Albert Einstein, Socrates, Issac Newton and, not surprisingly, many others. What do these people see and experience that all of us fail to? What do these brilliant people possess that we all don’t? Perhaps they have more powerful antennas?
All of these concepts may seem at first the inane ramblings of a crackpot, but I would like some input. What do you think?
