Consciousness is the Order
The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake would seem to be gratifying, but the presence of the implicate order in any field of knowledge is readily evident. All existence is limited or else it would be present solely as a potentiality spread throughout the implicate order. Gnosis and knowledge are inextricable. Even science requires…

Observations on Consciousness
Do you think they have special labs with deep thinkers on hallucinogenics? No, Leary was not very well funded, and Project Stargate is supposedly closed. Those dabbling in consciousness enhancement seem to have fallen flat on their faces. Rather than revile altered consciousness maybe they should look into it more. They are making breakthroughs with…

Ghost Consciousness
Shall I go into what consciousness for a haunting ghost is like? They transition into a “sleep like” state as we do while alive, but all of their energy is now expressed in this artifact of their formally organic mind. It becomes very vivid, and often times at least semi-lucid. This is why some ghosts…

Light, Dark, Consciousness
Have you ever noticed that both angels and demons are elemental, but ordered differently? Example: Raphael and his flaming sword, a fire angel, and fire demons are obvious. Michael and his chalice, a water angel and water demons are heard of also, but more commonly in Asian cultures. I see what you mean, like a druid?…

Brains In Consciousness
Before I go onto the third brain, I should describe how the first and second brains function together in our consciousness. When you first wake up in the morning, it’s your reptilian brain that wakes first, and well, it can be said that for some people this is the more wakeful part for most of the morning.…

Species Consciousness
In all of the oldest traditions, the imagery of the second life was externalized. This is why woodwork in houses often had such elaborate human and animal imagery. This happened well into written history, but has prehistoric roots. It ended around about the industrial revolution. But the reason the dreaming was so readily included in…

Force Of Consciousness
This topic will either bend minds or straighten them out more. I can’t say which. Is there a difference? Actually, not really. I think a bendy mind is better. Well, they say it’s the basis of the brains memory. All those wrinkles. We will be discussing consciousness as a physical or if you prefer metaphysical force.…

Objects Of Consciousness
The events or objects of consciousness are what we call experience and some call qualia. They arise inevitably alongside the awareness process presenting themselves to us in what is an unavoidable pattern of interference some would call the observer effect. The act of taking cognizance of an object acts on the object of awareness itself,…

Structure Of Consciousness
A friend of mine told me that we communicate to the earth through our throat chakra. Each energy center or chakra operates in a form of parallel processing, and the parallel processing brings me to the question of structure of consciousness. Consciousness is a spectrum starting from what could be called the zero point. The zero…

Honest Consciousness: Aligning your Thoughts and Feelings with Authenticity by Amelia Wood
A dear friend once told me that true and honest authenticity is one of the rarest qualities people possess. I remember being rather taken aback by her bold assertion. What did she mean? Were all the people around me being fake and insincere in their day-to-day lives? Was my mother’s seemingly endless love not truly…

Consciousness Event Horizon
Will our brains evolve higher than 3D? Our brains? Well yes, but by that time they won’t look much like the brains we know now. You said our brains receive on the third dimension? Yes, and the complexity of the neuronal cytoskeleton can progress. So we won’t look like “us” either? Change the brain biology…

Third Point Consciousness in Interpersonal Activity
Now for how third point thinking affects interpersonal activity… You normally perceive other people as a web of behaviours, the chains of cause and effect they produce, even perhaps recognizing cycles, but still in a pretty linear way like an emotional stick figure. You have feelings about their behaviours of course. If they behave in one…

Advancement of Consciousness
Do animals have their own parallel paths or are they on another part of our path, or both? Animals have their own path, but just as the paths that run across the earth itself have no real distinction from each other, animals paths both parallel and mesh with human paths forming a tapestry. We very…

Animal Consciousness in Us
If a person doesn’t dream, what does that mean? Everyone dreams, but there are states of consciousness more removed from waking process than we normally think of. So the person may be going into a deeper state of consciousness? The deeper you go into consciousness, the further away you get from something that would make…

Prior Consciousness
A bit of warning in advance, this is the dark metaphysics class, and we explore topics that many people might find uncomfortable. No offence is intended. I feel by discussing darker subjects we can dispel much of the sense of fear and mystery around these issues. That being said, today’s topic is Spirits of Madness… How can…

Consciousness is the Creative Process
To use a metaphor, the primordial ooze lay dreaming, and in its dreaming its sensitivity, to the same chemical exchanges that still play out in our bodies, gave rise to patterns of recognition. The process by which a chemical is recognized by a receptor… How does that differ from our own recognition of the sight…

Rituals of Consciousness
You have people and the identities that exist between them which can at least appear to behave independently of the people involved. We mostly don’t even take much conscious notice of those identities or entities that serve us while we go about our normal non distressed life. We may perceive a sense of guidance when…

Streams of Consciousness
The right/left brain model as its commonly discussed these days is not entirely accurate, but there are parts of it that are more or less true. You have two streams of consciousness going on all the time. The bottom up or sensory to thought path, and the top down or thought to bodily action path.…
