There is a difference between consciousness and Consciousness. The first one is a piece of the masterpiece that represents Consciousness. The individual consciousness is a tiny part of the Giant and infinite Consciousness. That’s why Carl Jung (the real father according to me of the psycho-analysis) said: “In addition to our immediate consciousness….there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals.”
Our individual consciousness is a part of Consciousness as the drop is a part of The Source. This is the reason why Rumi said “you are not a drop in the ocean you are the entire ocean within a drop.
But you will tell me, this is like the Oneness, it is an illusion, it is a new age vision… I am me, I am different from you, he is different from her. This is a pure illusion even if the trick is really well done to a certain extent.
We could compare The Consciousness to the air. In a house, this is the same air everywhere even outside. If there is a nuclear leak, everything will be affected. This is the same air whatever the room it is a matter of fact. However, the container can change slightly. The smell of the kitchen could perfume differently in this room. In the living room if grandpa is smoking a big cigar it is still the same air but a different smell. In Theo’s room who invited 2 friends of him (12-year teen-agers) freshly wake up, the room smells fusty. Outside the neighbor is burning some trees, it smells smoke from his garden but it will be always the same air.
I could have to use the same metaphor with water being Consciousness, the snow, the rain, the river, the water in my glass, on the floor are the same water: just the state changes and the recipient.
Consciousness is an interface between the physical and quantum world. Our system of space-time is based on gravity which corresponds to magnetism: attraction vs repulsion: a kind of cosmic respiration. As an aside imagine the resonance the solar cycle is 25,720 years and an individual on average does 25,720 breaths per day.
The collapse of the drawing wave function in the quantum field creates a state.
Awakening is an expansion of the point of attention: consciousness. The reality is a simultaneity point of view fluctuating all the time. That’s why Pascal said: “It is a sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere”.
Once again I insist there is the consciousness (the individual one) and Consciousness which is a kind of Global consciousness, collective unconsciousness that Hindu calls Akasha. Akasha could be compared to a hard driver of humanity: past, present, future, virtual and potential. The Akashic record is accessible to individual consciousness.
Max Planck the great scientist and father of the quantum physics (prime Nobel in 1918) said: “All matter comes from a force and exists only by it. We must assume the existence, under this force, of a conscious and intelligent Spirit. This Spirit is the matrix of all matter “.
He also said: “The Divine Matrix is our world, it is also all that exists in our world. It is us and everything we love, create and experiment. Living in the Divine Matrix, we express, as artists, our passions, our fears, our dreams, and our most secret desires through the essence of a mysterious quantum canvas. ”
All is One not Alone (ALL-one), all are interconnected and interlocked. It is like a table cloth: there is a unique thread/a common thread, each print of the table cloth exist (as individual consciousness), physically they are independent but linked through this invisible common thread. If the thread were conductive putting some electricity instantly all would be touched.
By the way, “Bereshit”, the first word of Genesis means “weft” (like a frame). The scientists discovered that galaxies are like set on a grid, a frame. We imagine a thread of energy, a thread of invisible Light. This confers the Max Planck’s quote previously denounced.
Former Vedas (the Hindu mystic texts) taught Nada (sound/vibration) Brahma (God) (the vibratory field) the source, the pearls of Indra’s net, Akasha, Ether look like an invisible nervous system… All these elements represent Consciousness.
Nicola Tesla who discovered this magnetic field (this unified field) has been inspired by oriental philosophies: Veda (Hindu mystical texts)…
Nicola Tesla said: “Every living being is a motor/engine connected to the driving wheel of the universe. While one might think that each living being is affected only by its direct environment, its outer sphere of influence extends to infinity.”
The Akashic record is the collective unthinking/unconscious in psychoanalysis, the Plato’s World of ideas.
There is a soul in the matter, there is a consciousness that moves in everything, through everything and is everything.
The eye with which we look at the original field and the eye with which the field looks at us seems to be the same eye. This is what we called the eye of consciousness.
Nietzsche said, “If you look long enough at the abyss, the abyss looks at you”.
This concept has been used by all mystics, the Egyptians used the eye of Horus:
Whatever the name Mother nature, God, Akasha, the big All, the Source, the singularity point, the unified field, the union… Victor Hugo said, “Consciousness is God present in man”. It is like the sap of the tree of Life.
According to me the best representation of what the consciousness is: Take a look at these amazing paintings of Alex Grey:
Concretely 2 important things:
1-Our individual consciousness is an emitter and receiver of information. The information is initial pure energy let’s analyze this word: information: in formation in progress of getting a form in the matter. This is just pure vibration without form (thought-form) which is picked from the tree of Life, the tree of Consciousness (Plato’s world of the idea). The proof is when we invent, etymologically speaking in Latin “inventare” means literally to “pick” (like picking a flower from the field) implying to pick an idea from the field of Consciousness which is already existing somewhere. That’s why I always say “all exist and all ready to exist”. When we say “to discover” it means “dis cover” taking out the cover of something which was there. We just put some light on the darkness.
Thus when we think about an idea we credit it, you charge this idea (form-thought) and this magnetism activates the process of creation: it creates the quantum collapse. That’s to say the state of one reality among an infinity. Our consciousness puts some load and some emotion (e.motion: E=mc2, energy in motion) on the information (pure vibration) allowing it to fall down into the matter: our subjective reality, like a cloud, after a while when the condensation is too important it becomes rain. Our consciousness activates the process of quantum collapse: from a field of possibilities to a physical particle (from the contingencies to a form of reality).
2-Consciousness is not the seat of the brain: thinking our consciousness is in our brain is like listening to music and believing there is a band in the electronic device. The (individual) consciousness might be in our magnetic field our aura (our different subtle bodies), that’s why perception is still possible in near-death experience or out of body experience. This is also the reason why all mystics try to extend their sphere of consciousness beyond their simple mind. When we practice Qi Gong at a certain level this is what we do: we expand our consciousness beyond our limitation physical body.
Here is an illustration of the activated third eye (“the seat of the soul” as Rene Descartes called it), standing for a kind of GPS, largely beyond of the materialistic limits of our brain.
When we say hereafter, what does it mean? Beyond of us, beyond our consciousness. Isn’t it?
Let’s dig deeper with an eternal existential question which is the following one: if the tree falls down and nobody is in the forest, does it emit a sound?
This question has been the fruit of an amazing discussion in 1913 with Einstein & Tagore (a great Hindu mystic). If I had to summarize simply the exchange, here is the problematic:
Einstein said something like: if I close my eyes, the moon is still there) what seems to be logical and rational, Cartesian, scientist, physical… But if I can afford I think Einstein was a bit binary to this question. It is not: the moon exists or does not exist if I obverse it. We have to separate the topic: a simple tree or the moon, even if a single individual refuses to believe in its existence, it exists anyway because the collective unconsciousness holds it. But if nobody has the knowledge of this particular tree in the forest, maybe my personal consciousness has an impact. Or it exists as a potential (virtual) in the quantic field (the wave of probabilities) and has not yet been materialized…
That’s why Carl Jung I insist heavily said: “In addition to our immediate consciousness….there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals.”
ll)Things come to life/meaning for us when:
1- We integrate them into our consciousness (apparently in our brain) / into us
2- We move our consciousness on the energy/frequency channel of those things that already exist and thus we understand them, marrying them and ultimately integrating them.
To these 2 flagship ideas I could go beyond because it seems to be the visible part of the iceberg, the physics or the physical aspect of this metaphysical question (“meta” in ancient Greek: beyond) :
This refers to the quantum dimension, the observer influences the result of the observed elements: particle or wave. This is the principle of this schema: you can not see both images at the same time: either a man, either a woman.
The field of probabilities would be a sphere of an infinity of pictures (not only 2). What we see is only one face and this each second.
If we look at the sub-atomic level, if we measure a wave, we will have a wave and if we measure a particle, we will see a particle. Before we look at them, we swim in a cloud of probabilities, they are in different places under different potential. Only our look makes it choose a state if I may say, like the ball of the roulette in a casino that turns and falls on a number.
This could be comparable to what is called “the quantum collapse” this choice rather than another while an infinity of tables reproducing an infinity of scenarios at the same time that echoes and resonate also to the multiverse.
So we do not act on the elements by shaping them but by shifting to the vibrations of a certain reality. Although if I refer to the Jesus’ quote: “If someone says to this mountain, “Go thence and throw yourself into the sea, and if he does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, he will see it accomplished.”
In fact, we just activate the frequencies of the reality that we “consciousize or consciouseize” (this word does not exist in English, it would mean the action of activating the consciousness) and so we project ourselves, what science calls the subatomic level: the quantum leap… We are, as a human body composed of atoms like any physical thing: the table (of Emerald (LOL), the chair (musical LOL) … And atoms are made of subatomic particles which are made of energies. There is only energy, we are only energy.
As Einstein said, “What we have called ‘matter’ is energy, the vibration of which has been greatly reduced in order to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.”
If I fall asleep saying that despite my problems tomorrow it will be better and everything will be better and as if by chance I wake up and everything is resolved, A project is abortive leaving me more time, etc … A small miracle seems to appear while we simply switch to another parallel world … Hence also self-realization, maintaining skepticism: nothing works in your stupid theory: who realizes you if you do not believe it and gives you the proof (very pernicious and subtle). Life is shit, why would it change, I do not believe in your bullshits “You will continue to have the life in which you believe: that is to say, of shit: Your wishes will be fulfilled.”
That’s why Einstein said “Everything is energy and that’s all. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you will not be able to stop getting it. It cannot be otherwise. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
In both cases 1-2 it is as if we are turning on the unifying field / the global canvas (common server). It refers to the fact that things are segmented but are no longer considered in terms of unity, global consciousness, God Himself possesses a consciousness … Accessing this consciousness divides us into the holistic/global consciousness… endless(ly). This is exactly the principle of Indra’s net in Hinduism.
We are God in progress and in the meantime God is experiencing Him/Her/Itself through us… This idea one cannot understand it, one can just “innerstand” it if I can say (with a neologism, as this reality does not exist for us).
I can do a parallel with the notion of Shaman, for instance when Columbus arrives, the local people could not see the vessels.
To become “real” and visible, the shaman had to see them, these new frequencies and materialize them somehow.
Who knows if it is not the same for aliens…? Or even angels, spirits, and all fairyland beings?
Let’s go deeper and deeper with 7 theories or concepts allowing you to enlarge your spheres of consciousness.
This theory of the doctor and biologist Ruppert Sheldrake suggests that the nature of things depends on fields called morphic fields. Each type of natural system has its own type of field. There is a field for insulin, a field for stone, and a field for a dog and so on. These fields shape the different types of atoms, molecules, crystals, living organisms, societies, customs and ways of thinking.
Morphic fields are known from physics. They are non-material regions of influence extending into space and extending in time. When a particular organized system ceases to exist – when an atom is disintegrated, a snowflake melts or an animal dies – its organizing field disappears from the specific place where the system existed. But in another sense, the morphic fields do not disappear, they are schemas or patterns (software without supports) of potential organizers influence, likely to appear again, at other times, in other places, wherever and whenever, the physical conditions will be appropriate. It refers to the notion of archetypes and egregores. When they do, they contain a memory of their previous physical lives.
The process by which the past becomes present within morphic fields is called morphic resonance. Morphic resonance involves the transmission of formative causal influences through space and time.
The memory within the morphic fields is cumulative, (like clouds) and that is why all kinds of phenomena become more and more habitual by repetition. When such repetition has occurred on an astronomical scale over billions of years, as was the case for countless types of atoms, molecules, and crystals, the nature of the phenomena has acquired a habitual quality if deep that it is indeed immutable, or seemingly eternal.
The cosmos appears more as a growing and evolving organism than as an eternal machine. In this context, habits are undoubtedly more natural than immutable laws.
The morphogenetic fields would contain an inherent memory acquired by a process of morphic resonance, composing the collective memory of each species (idea emitted by the eminent psychoanalyst gist Carl Gustav Jung).
Thus, the brain, too small to hold the memory, is not a storage organ but a link with the database of the morphogenetic field (the Akashic record) in which past, present, and future mingle. The morphogenetic field stands for an external drive.
Living cells, even vegetal, are indeed sensitive and are aligned and resonate with the events, emotions and human intentions occurring in their environment; the pendulum offers a comparable means of communication from the brain to brain.
Backster took a polygraph machine, used also as lie-detector machine recording sensory information from the body: pulse respiration, blood pressure, heart rate/beats and made a test on a plant. He discovered it has a very slow movement. He did some experiences. One moment to increase the reaction he thought about burning a leaf of it. Suddenly the machine recorded amazing vibrations as if the plant was scared and had detected the intention of Backster. He reproduced in laboratory several times this experience to make sure there was no interference.
Plants do not have well-located brains, but probably multiple control centers.
All elements of the cosmos animal, vegetal,… creates energy and has a kind of soul. We could go even further even the unanimated object like a table etc… Why because the craftsmen gave energy (cf: the myth of Golem in Hebrew mysticism). That’s why animism (the religion) gives soul to everything in nature like all so-called primitive believes: all tribes had this communion and respect of all objects and components of the creation in general.
Gaia’s hypothesis was formulated in the 1980s by Lovelock and Margulis. According to these authors, the biosphere behaves, globally, as a living being with its own homeostatic regulations, adapting the composition of its atmosphere to values allowing to keep a climate, temperatures or hygrometry compatible with the existence of life.
We know that plants and animals, not to mention bacteria, through their respiratory activities, photosynthetic or their interventions in the nitrogen cycle, play a major role in the composition of the current atmosphere. What we knew less and research has shown is that, with the appearance of life, the composition of the atmosphere has been modified. For example, the rate of carbon dioxide decreased as life conquered the planet. The drop in the greenhouse effect that accompanied the drop in the atmospheric CO2 content should have led to a drop in temperature, but this low CO2 content, allowing better penetration of the solar flux, also helped to keep the temperatures near zero.
Gaia’s hypothesis should be more easily verifiable in the fields of exchanges of matter and energy between the ecosystems or compartments of the Planet. From this point of view, the ecological niche is also a notion that reflects the thermodynamic functioning of open systems and the regulations that exist between the protagonists, both individually and within populations, guilds or populations.
Lovelock said “we can consider the whole range of living matter on Earth, from the whale to the virus, from oak to seaweed, as a single living entity, capable of manipulating the earth’s atmosphere for the purpose of meet its global needs and have faculties and capabilities that are well beyond those of its constituent parts “.
David BOHM was an exceptional scientist at the origin of this theory. Controverted but also recognized, however, as a leading scientist, he even caught Einstein’s attention. Turning to mysticism in the 1950s. In close relationship with KRISHNAMURTI and close friend of the Dalai Lama, he felt that quantum physics could lead to the discovery of hidden levels of reality. For this astrophysicist, the Universe would be an immense hologram, each of its elements enclosing the essence of the totality of the Universe. The Cosmos could be an infinite structure of waves where everything is connected to everything, and where being and non-being, mind and matter, would be only different manifestations of a single deep reality animated by a permanent flow of creative transformations, life. Death itself could then be an energetic transformation and not annihilation. Gigantic illusion, the universe would be a hologram. This is by extension the principle of fractal holographic dimension.
Who are we? Are we this body that we see while looking at us in ice cream? Are we not rather this Spirit, who is not our body, but who is able to become aware of our body, and the image that it offers in the mirror?
All that we have lived since our birth has been felt through our Spirit: this Spirit has memorized our memories. It is he who made us love or hate, he who has prepared at every moment the action we are going to perform, he who is now shaping the thought that we are going to have or the word we are going to address. We must, therefore, conclude that we are this Spirit. Without him, our I, our Self, disappears completely. It represents what we are, from our birth to our death.
But is it so certain that this Spirit, which we call ours, did not have a proper existence before our birth? When we look at the work of every cell of our body, we cannot help but be amazed at the knowledge that is unfolded, to build in particular our body from the two initial cells from the moment of fertilization, to them to be completed, with all its organs and potentialities. Should we not say that it is still the Spirit that operates, since actions at the cellular level reveal a knowledge that physicists and biologists, with all their “spirit”, would still be far from being able to reproduce? Is not this cellular knowledge the proof of a deep-rooted Spirit rooted in a past long before our birth, a past in which the Spirit in Matter would gradually learn his “know-how”? Would there not be, as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin foresaw, from the level of the most elementary particle of matter, an “outside” and an “inside”, the outside having only the properties of raw matter (physical laws), the inside conferring on the particle certain spiritual characteristics?
And what happens to our Spirit after our bodily death? Religions have, for the most part, promised us eternal life for our Spirit (at least a judgment): but is it only a “wishful thinking” expressing hope of survival, or may this eternity of our spiritual life, today, be supported by scientific knowledge? One point seems, in any case nowadays, definitively acquired: it is no longer “convincing”, precisely because of contemporary science, to believe in the Spirit as an “ethereal” entity, capable of existing without the support of any material. However, this conclusion only gives rise to a new question: since, after our bodily death, all the matter of our body ends up returning to the dust, that is to say to these elementary particles of matter that physics of today It is the task of studying, one must think again, as Teilhard had done, that it is in these particles themselves that the essence of our Spirit resides, and that spiritual eternity is a consequence of the practically unlimited life of this elementary matter?
Are there cosmic objects that would justify believing in the existence of such an “outside” observable space? Astrophysicists now know that this is the case. These “invisible” objects of the sky are called “black holes”. In recent years they have become a leading topic in research. Black holes bear this particular name because they are, precisely, housed in the “outside” of the space in which astrophysicists point their telescopes: nothing can come out of this outer space, not even light. Let us say a few words about these curious cosmic objects, and especially the very special properties of this new space which is ours, what the outside is inside.
No more direct communication exists between our usual space and the black hole, in that no object could come out of the black hole to come into our space. But this black hole can nevertheless have an “indirect” influence on our space, and thus translate its presence “behind the screen”: it can, for example, signal this presence by means of a magnetic field, acting on charged particles of our space that come to pass in the vicinity of the point of contact between the black hole and our space.
Therefore it becomes quite natural to think that if one is led to give the electron a zero volume during its direct observation, it is because this electron develops its dimensions not in our observable space but in the “outside” of this space.
And, indeed, the most recent studies in theoretical physics soon showed that a “model” could be provided that gives a particularly satisfactory account of all observations relating to the electron by assimilating this electron to a black micro-hole. And the properties that astrophysicists have discovered for the space of black holes, whether or not they are observed, are then valid for the black micro-hole electron, which is certain of existence.
What are these properties of space and time in this “outside” of our Universe where electrons and black holes are moving? Space and time exchange their roles when we pass from within to outside our observable space. In the outside, space “flows” constantly, as our usual time does; and, always in this outside, one “moves” in time, eventually returning to past events, as one moves in all directions in our ordinary space. In a very short time (because we cannot, unfortunately, enter here into the detail of these properties of “paradoxical” look), this means that if a “traveler” penetrated inside a black hole or an electron, he would constantly see before him, as during a continuous scan of a cyclic space, all the information contained in this new space; on the other hand, this information would have a kind of “relief in time”, in the sense that the traveler could say: this information dates from ten days ago, this one from yesterday, etc … In short, the traveler would have access to information from the black hole, or from the electron, as we have access to the information stored in our Mind, that is with a possibility to scan the entire field of stored information and chronologically date each of this information.
The electron is the bearer of the Spirit, and in this sense he becomes the knowledge of Being; thus it introduces a new concept in science, that of psycho-material/psychomatter: since matter is made up of atoms (themselves formed of a nucleus and electrons), it contains in the invisible universe a “psychic side”. It is for this reason that we can see since the beginning of the third millennium an evolution of concepts in this field, we mean the passage of matter to “psycho-material” and the advent of “psychophysics”. How far are we from objective conceptions of the universe? What is remarkable in this new physics is to see its convergence with major philosophical currents such as Buddhism.
A species of Japanese monkey has been observed over a period of 30 years.
In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists fed the monkeys with raw sweet potatoes by throwing them on the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of sweet potatoes but found their dirt unpleasant.
An 18-month-old female, named IMO, thought she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this thing to her mother. Their playmates also learned this new way of doing things and taught it to their mothers as well.
This cultural innovation was gradually adopted by different monkeys before the eyes of scientists. Between 1952 and 1958, all the young monkeys learned to wash sweet potatoes filled with sand to make them more palatable. Only adult monkeys who imitated their children learned of this social improvement. The other adult monkeys kept their habit of eating dirty sweet potatoes.
In the fall of 1958, a number of Koshima monkeys washed their sweet potatoes – their exact number remains unknown. Suppose that when the sun rose one morning, there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Suppose again a little later that morning, a hundredth monkey learned to wash the potatoes. Then something amazing happened!
That evening almost all the monkeys of the tribe began washing their sweet potatoes before eating them. A little as if the additional energy of this hundredth monkey created a kind of “scientific breakthrough”!
Like the drop of milk into the coffee changing in a raw the entire color.
But that is not all: the most surprising thing observed by these scientists was the fact that the practice of washing sweet potatoes was spread unexplained and simultaneous to colonies of monkeys living on other islands as well as the troupe of Takasakiyama monkeys on the mainland who also began washing their sweet potatoes.
This story of the 100th monkey is remarkable because it highlights two crucial points that I would like to retain for our future in the short and medium term.
First of all, for such a change to be possible, it is not enough for a small group to take a different attitude. It is not a question here of the domination exercised by a minority using force and coherence but on the contrary of the accession of a group to a higher level of consciousness. This is the first key.
And here is the second. Although the exact number may vary, this “Monkey Thirty Phenomenon” means that when only a small number of people learn a new way of doing things, it can become part of the consciousness of the whole community. Indeed, at a given moment, if only one more person starts to adopt this new awareness, its field of action expands so that this awareness is adopted by almost everyone! This is the miracle of the two keys together.
It is natural to think that to change the world, at least half of the population plus one person must consent. After all, we are in a democracy in many countries (or sometimes the illusion of “demotorship”). But, and the hundredth monkey is there to remind us, things do not quite work out that way. In truth, half the people do not have to be ready. What is important is that the need for change is brought to the attention of a sufficient number of people.
Today we are racing against the time. Some of us are ready for anything in the name of God, profit, power, or to keep their way of life as unsuitable as wasteful, even if it leads to the end of the world. On the other hand, others sincerely seek valid solutions to the human, social, economic and political problems of our planet. These embody a higher consciousness of what life is. As more and more some of us integrate this consciousness, we will come closer to critical mass. That’s the point. It is a condition that humanity can control. For this, we must come together and choose to evolve consciously, in co-creation, towards a new world. When this critical mass is reached, things will change suddenly and irreversibly, and humanity as a whole will switch to a new paradigm.
We have had the means for a few decades to put an end to all human life on Earth. The coexistence of advanced technology with limited awareness is a dangerous mix. Without a planetary awareness, sooner or later the first will cross the second and it will probably be the beginning of the end.
Our future is in everyone’s hands, more than we think. That’s why Gandhi said, “Be the change that you want to see in this world”. In a world where three-quarters of people still face problems of daily survival and almost a quarter of them still cling to their own gains and interests (even worst 80 families own half of the richness of the planet), it would have been unrealistic to think of rallying the majority to greater awareness. vast by conquering souls one by one. But with “the phenomenon of the hundredth monkey”, this is no longer impossible.
At the individual level, awareness or awakening is the key. At the collective level, it’s our number. Between the two, the critical mass is the solution. The rest will be done naturally. But we do not have all our time. The Earth is suffering, humans are suffering and others are ready to use our deadly technology to establish their domination forever.
Everything is in our hands, it is up to us, also because all depends on our choice, always keep in mind: all exists already and all ready to exist! By extension regarding this endless concept of consciousness, I like to say: “Everything is superposed & superimposed and above all (superbly) posed but never imposed”
In Shambali, we will experience many disciplines through different ways to develop our consciousness. In addition, we will evoke all these kinds of existential questions as a springboard of discussion to enlarge the spheres of your consciousness when we discuss on a night around the fire, admiring the stars to always keep in mind as Carl Sagan said, We are a way for the universe to know itself. Some part of our self knows where we come from. We aspire to return. And we can do it because the cosmos is also within us. We are made of stardust.
