Burn....this was an absolutely fascinating read! Thanks to you for sharing it and the author for writing it.
It makes me feel like we are on the cutting edge of something big. I have stated many times that I believe
we evolve not only physically, but spiritually as well and our understanding of the nature of consciousness will
play a huge role in the quantum leap that I believe we will soon realize has begun to take place.
It's funny that when I found this thread this evening, I had been reading "The Matrix and Philosophy --- Welcome to the
Desert of the Real"....(strange coincidence?). One of the things I was reading says that "consciousness reveals objects
which appear to consciousness"..............."Consciousness is defined by intentionality. By intentionality consciousness
transcends itself...The object is transcendent to the consciousness which grasps it, and it is in the object that the
unity of the consciousness is found. In other words, consciousness is like a transparency; when we try to single it out,
we "fall through" to its object. If we try to single out the consciousness that is conscious of a desk without thinking of
the desk itself, we fail."
I found this interesting and it made me think of the old adage, "As above, so below". Macrocosmos is the same as microcosmos.
