Re: [Mind and Brain] To Leon Maurer & Everyone: Where does consciousness begin in the universe?

John,
It all depends on what you mean by consciousness. Are you talking about
pure perceptive awareness and willful intent that we experience when awake or
while dreaming? Or, do mean the sense of self as separate from all other
beings? Or, do you mean the opposite of unconscious, knocked out, drugged, or
anesthetized?
If the first -- in my view, potential consciousness along with potential
matter is a fundamental aspect of absolute or ground SPACE that is the primal base
of all phenomenal existence. Therefore, upon initial manifestation of the
cosmos from the "singularity" of Absolute SPACE at the moment of the big bang
-- which its awakened "will" initiates -- consciousness arises simultaneously
and codependent with the initial fractally involved fields of matter as the
universe continues to fractally involve and spherically inflate. After full
inflation and breaking of symmetry of the physical plane at the third fractal
involution, the zero-point centers of consciousness become spread everywhere in
the Planck vacuum at the zero-point energy field centers and poles of all
fundamental particles, as well as all the atoms, molecules, cells, and organisms
they are parts of. Thus, consciousness is spread everywhere throughout the
entire universe within all matter that, essentially, is nothing more than
absolute dimensionless ground space in various modes of vibratory motion.
This is the source of the visual and aural perceptive consciousness located
in the exact center of our head, and the self consciousness that apparently is
located at the center of the body aura fields in the naval chakra. It also
accounts for all the cellular consciousness throughout the body at the
zero-point centers of their analogous fractally involved coenergetic fields -- which
accounts for remotely localized touch on the skin, smell in the nose, taste on
the tongue, pain in a stubbed toe or pin prick on a finger tip, etc.
In this view, all sentient beings have the same type of perceptive
consciousness (awareness, will, qualia, etc.) as us humans... Although, in many cases,
far more sensitive. I'm also pretty sure that many animals are not only self
conscious but can think causatively, and subconsciously calculate graphically
and holistically from both instinctive and conditioned (learned) memory.
Therefore, they have logical minds, although below the level of conscious
rationality. How else would a lion recognize its own pride, and be able to hunt
selective prey with calculated discrimination and anticipatory tactics -- far
better, in some cases, than a human can. (Although they can't play the same
sneaky tricks.:-)
Warm regards,
Leon
