universal consciousness and the utility of mind
universal consciousness and the utility of mind
The universe is cyclic, i can be visualised as like a doughnut, the explosion starts in the middle and begins expanding outwards in all directions. in the aftermath of the explosion, during the cooldown, planets like earth are formed along with the stars etc. the nearer you are to the centre the quicker things cool down, so it will eventually become homogenous. the universe though is still expanding, so at first we see an explosion, which continues forever, then as the middle of the explosion becomes old it cools, and the entire explosion starts to ‘rot’ from the middle. the universe in this manner can repeat without ever ending, just changing all the time. so universal consciousness would change according to the cycles, it evolves with evolution generally as indeed there is no other vehicle for its development. if we imagine that we could strip away all bodies [physical form] leaving behind all consciousness then that is how i see universal consciousness. in a void it would have the value of zero, however the universe is cyclic, so there has and always will be universal consciousness. i am unsure as to what effects time would have e.g. over the course of many cycles of the universe, perhaps it would gain potentiality [experience?], more interestingly would it synchronise things in some way? it often seams to me that evolution and coincidence is very well thought out as is nature, but it is not thought as we know it, universal consciousness does not have a brain. >does causality come into it ~ or it into causality? i would see ‘consciousness’or mindfullness as beginning with the ocean of infinity i.e. 0. it is and must be everpresent and universal, a fertile egg possesses 0,1 from its earliest stages ~ and essentially nothing ever goes beyond that. the human brain makes a different utility of it, to say plankton or a rock ~ where inanimate objects have no possession or utility of it [=0]. i would see nature generally and the universe as being the result of a great utility of mind! regions names and objects may somehow reflect extraneous personality [e.g. in astrology and national character], here though we meet that elusive element that concerns life itself and animation. it is as if life is trying to get through where ever it can, so if a ‘personality’ is built up e.g. by humans creating it, then universal mind finds a utility in it. the only difference between that and us is that we have it contained in physical form. there seams to be something both in the name and the region, i wouldn’t say it is ‘consciousness’ yet i am unsure what it is. take for instance an english football club liverpool, mainly foreign players yet they are still liverpool, equally when they play in europe they beet teams that they would loose to at home ~ they are a european club with many successes in the past. this has to be built up to begin with but once there, i dunno there seams to be something there. erm what am i saying; that areas attract certain kinds of people and that a rose is not a rose by any other name? --------------------------------------------------------- ok here is one main point; if mind is found to be extraneous to the physical form, then its universality follows. the above is journey into that ‘what if’ scenario. now try dissecting the brain to find consciousness ~ i just don’t see it in the flesh and snot [or the batteries {neurons are like}] of the brain itself, but that the brain is an instrument that makes use of the ocean of consciousness/mindfullness. ----------------------------------------------------------- and as concerns god and the gods. well as a pagan i see that consciousness evolving and changing over time forming personalities which are then deified as part of the natural process [similar to us except without physical form]. as a monotheist [that i am not], then i would see the whole as being god consciousness. perhaps we can see something of the rapture in all of this, when the veil is lifted [revelations] and all becomes clear. this would be like a time when universal consciousness forms a kind of unity for a short time. i don’t see why we it cannot be both in many ways of course. {thanks to wonderer at ‘ilovephilosophy.com’ for the science}. |

Re: universal consciousness and the utility of mind
A thinking man.... say's i of you
![]() Be kind on this idea; if light combines in the sense, that when time, mass and energy.... became three to describe, the combination is still the total; One. If at the moment of that (big bang) each are still entangled by light (energy) then life or that 'consciousness' existed during the course of all evolution (the beginning). And that development can be noted in phi. Or 1.618..... the golden rule... evolution in a mathematical sense, where the progression combines more mass within the evolution or growth of total energy of that system (continuance). Just as all evolution does within an environment. So we reach a point of consciousness (man)...... at a point where mass, can now predetermine and actually 'cause' based on examination of what is recognized. A person can think and see an issue and describe. Then when one generation reaches a set of understanding; teachings and writings convey for the next generation..... kind of 'golden' ![]() Yet, these new generations all have, for the most part, that universal compassion... or the ability to see and observe others as a conscious choice... simply that compassion is universal upon birth but the knowledge passed down is not. Where this is going is as consciousness is an association to the universe in a sense of being capable of observing existence while just being a bunch of mass associated by energy, that each person is born with the same capabilities of observance or awareness but still unequal of physically having the knowledge to understand how this occurs. So each is usually exposed to different ideology but that pinnacle to be reached in when that 'collective consciousness' has the ability to know how itself exists. So as mass evolved for us to be here, likewise, we must assist knowledge to evolve. That pinnacle of 'universal consciousness and the untility of mind' is for mass to know how it exists, equally. ![]() |

<gnosis> i like that, and thank you. . Quote:
an interesting point. the relative mind could be the result of the physical entity, that is to say; because the human form exists and has a brain then this makes utility of ‘mind’. we could though build a robot with an ‘brain’ which could make equal utility of mind ~ but would that be equally alive? the computer we use could make much utility of mind, probably more than any animal, yet even if wee give it AI software it would be no more alive than a rock. what then if the robot is made organically: this comes in two ways... 1. in parts; if you put together a robots ‘brain’ part by part i.e. manufacture it, then it would not be alive, or make utility of mind. 2. if you design dna to form into/grow into an intelligent being ~ an artificial creature, then this would be no different to us and would make utility of mind. . so what is the essential of the equasion? . Quote:
good thinking there, i would agree indeed. . Quote:
this may be the overall result of perspective. this comes in threes, the base of the perspectile view, its focus and field, where sometimes the focus can be non singular. hence throughout time we have relativity of form and mind, in the great quantum computer of existence. as time is an arrow made up of zillions of little arrows all doing their own relativistic thing, then so to is mind. within the construct of the human mind then is a big ‘I’ perspective which possesses and utilises all beneath it in its mind kingdom.

Simply to know; what makes life exists. The universal psychosis; to understand. An SAI can be a simple as the internet, still the intent to know; only needs questions. Whether mechanically or biologically, the end goal sought are still answers, where the human perspective (opinions) share flaws; a (selfless) mechanism is recognized as truthful. Hence the choice of pursuing a created AI. When all the same data is already available, the issue is; integrity. Quote:
As if we even had a choice?!?!? ![]() Quote:
The three perspectives which seem quite important may be; inclusive (the total), isolated (individual frame or limited focus), and conceived (created existence). Seems almost like foreplay; individual perspectives within the total. ![]() |

bishadi hi

it also seams like a flowing thing both changing [via its forms] and going with the overall change. i am unsure about creation, i see things as a flow, there is no evidence of creation only of change [from one thing to another, rather than building from new]. Quote:

Re: universal consciousness and the utility of mind
Quote:
My problem is that I do not agree with what is described above. First there is no evidence anywhere that i am aware of that can state the universe to be 'cyclical'. Even if Big Bang theory is wrong, for example, and the mass we can observe is the result of energy transfer from one brane to another there is as yet no way to support a conjecture that this is a cyclical event. Using Big Bang theory and measurement of universal expansion again we cannot infer a cyclical pattern as the Universe appears to be speeding up its expansion and will never contract to start a new cycle. There is a constant recycling of energy but recycling does not infer a cycle. Secondly, and here you accidentally touch on something I have often pondered, the Big Bang as an event to me leaves certain questions that remain unanswered. Physicists invoke exotic particles that could only exist in the firestorm of the first millionths and even billionths of a second of the Big Bang to explain the evolution of matter as we know it. It is extremely hard to imagine that so much could flow out from an explosion point so tiny. And when we look at a conventional explosion, lets for example take the biggest we can observe, a supernova, we always see a remnant in the rough position of the explosion event. An exploding star does not create a doughnut ring of matter expanding away from the blast alone, it also leaves a remnant at its core. A pulsar or stellar black hole in this example. If the Big Bang was a singular explosion then surely we would expect to see a very massive and conspicuous remnant? We dont. But if the matter we see was created in a brane collision and during the impact period of the two branes there was a flow of matter, (if it was a two way flow we of course cannot observe the impact on the other brane), then there would be no remnant to be found. It would also explain the increase of the rate of universal expansion. The pressure of matter transferring from one brane to another would store up momentum that would not be fully released immediately. You could describe it as a result of pressure differences on the two branes acting on a small rupture that links them. Like a hosepipe pumping water into a tank sometimes there will be small pressure variances that will give the readings that the velocity at a given moment is increasing or decreasing. It just so happens from our position in space looking at the oldest objects we can we see increased expansion. As the branes moved apart the pressure drops and the expansion is not so great, as we observe. I hope I am making some sense here because i feel like i'm not managing to convey it very well. A good question is whatever happened did it happen into a vacuum or into extant space? tao |

The big bang came from the same form; incorrect physics of the primary three; mass energy and time. So to begin with these three (get MET), then from cosmology to chemistry, all the way to consciousness…… it’s all not so magical! It’s all simply nature! |

Re: universal consciousness and the utility of mind
Shortly after making my last post I got some enews from a site I use. It has an article about early heavy mass galaxies. Here is an excerpt:
HubbleSite - NewsCenter - Compact Galaxies in Early Universe Pack a Big Punch (04/29/2008) - The Full Story "Astronomers looking at galaxies in the universe's distant past received a similar perplexing announcement when they found nine young, compact galaxies, each weighing in at 200 billion times the mass of the Sun. The galaxies, each only 5,000 light-years across, are a fraction of the size of today's grownup galaxies but contain approximately the same number of stars. Each galaxy could fit inside the central hub of our Milky Way Galaxy." Does this not suggest that each galaxy is of itself a fountainhead of matter pouring into our universe? If 2 branes were to collide and they were not entirely "flat" then we would have multiple impact points (billions if galaxies are those points). Tao |

Same stuff; black holes, dark junk and magic..... all created. Seems like common sense to look at tornado's or huricanes and how similar these structures (phenonmenon) are to what they see in telescopes. Seems best to keep both feet on the ground? Or simply, if you observed a swirl in a pool, that rotates exactly like a galaxie and put a die within the fluid, and then saw little eddies around the edges, would you call them dark eddies? The point is, the descriptions of 'out there' are what has the physics down here so messed up. For example; the speed of light Quote:
This is the kind of errors many just have a had time recognizing with simple logic. Or what about the eclipse? They say that when the sun covers the moon, if gravity bends space then we should be able to see the star behind the sun if space is bending. (einstein) But anyone can simply use the mirage form to describe such; refracting light within the energy. See the mirage on the hot desert sand! Quote:
Heck newton rewrote physics, and very few liked him either.... and darwin was dead before most even heard the word evolution... worked all his life to share but kept it quite so the church would not abuse the gift. That time to know the truth of existence in a pure form of fact.... is right now! Use your consciousness and mind, to find the facts, see the truth and know unequivocally what is true. |
