Can the secret mind explain its existence?
Secrets of the Mind: Can science explain consciousness?
From iai.tv
My comment:
Can anything 'explain' consciousness?
The seeming question is a conceptual statement positing a something that acts to define and account for prior awareness in terms of concept that it manufactures. This is circular reasoning or indeed talking to oneself as if one is not in fact oneself but a proxy conceptual supposition through which a self reflecting model can be experienced as a modification of consciousness that is in no way shape or form actually achieving or acting anything outside of consciousness.
However as a working model, awareness is focused within and through concept of self and that which is rejected by the selection within totality operates as unconscious oppositional sense of identity and will.
The apparent struggle within what seems a split mind results in a world of experience in which imposition and opposition reinforce each other while assertion of control defines itself ever more negatively against feared or denied and unrecognized self. And that assertion of denial is received and reflected as oppression, compression and death - the inability to experience movement within consciousness. Which is the counterpart shadow to a falsely presumed ability to operate as an autonomous and self-defined concept within a totality of what consciousness actually is. The error is the idea of consciousness distinct and outside of feeling - a non feeling mind. Disconnecting thinking.
Feeling - in its true sense - does not need to explain or analyze anything to know That it is as it is, and experience itself in and as ever new perspective - because feeling in its true sense is the primary quality of receptivity that attracts and forms a focusing of attention and desire within itself, that then extends to reflect as idea through which to know itself Life - in relationship - as movement - as creation.
What is defined and accepted as consciousness in general human terms is an inverted exclusion of creation - in which an effect, assigns itself cause - as its own creation and consequently asserts an interpretation as its own distorted and filtered experience as its mind and its determination of world outside its defined 'consciousness'.
An interesting reversal of the reversal would be to ask, "Can Consciousness explain science?" Although the term explain is not native to Consciousness and so its original term would be, "Can Consciousness illuminate, embrace and know, science?". I suggest that nothing that is but is at its Original Quality of being, unconditionally loved - that is, illuminated, embraced and intimately known.
What kind of science would be conducted in conscious acceptance and embrace of the Movement of Being - rather than as an arrogant ignorance that seeks to make of Life a slave?
If words are not felt - they are not connecting to anything but thought. The assertion that they find justification in application is a cover for persistence in denying the felt quality of Existence. Heart and Mind are in truth an indivisible magnetic/electric vibrational expression of Infinite Perspective. A temporary shielding of totality individualizes the One as the Many - but the Many are the One.
At the perspective of individuality Idea accepted and extended through, reflects experience. There is no separation in true creation of idea (or definition) and experience - and the knowing within experience of self-awareness 'that it is Good' or truly reflecting. But in concept of a separating and segregating sense of self is a fragmenting experience in which the conscious focus within such act is lost to the overwhelming experience of being defined and conditioned by ones own unrecognized act in concept. The residual attempt of the mind to judge, determine and create for itself operates an exclusion zone, an elitism of private agenda operating beneath many layers of defence and justification.
It victory over Life is of course death. The reduction of life to explanation is the suppression of the very Movement of Life unless operating within a truly heartfelt, passionate and self transcending movement of Life!
Consciousness: By their fruits shall you know them - and they shall know themselves.

Awakening Consciousness
A further conversation from the Ars Technica article on homoeopathy that felt to me to be propaganda for a personal agenda:
I reply:
I'm with you in re-evaluating and abandoning what does not work - and indeed cant work. But I don't write to play the blame game. Clearly material existence is a consciousness of. If only material exists = no consciousness. It is possible to argue that one does not in fact, exist. But is it possible to consider this without laughing? Of course we may not exist as we think and believe ourselves to, but awareness is its own incontrovertible proof and any process of thinking or perceiving can only support that proof - even if apparently setting up a system of thought by which consciousness is 'explained' in terms of energetic relations of material processes.
Regardless the terminology or symbols employed, Consciousness is the root expression of awareness. Call it Father/Son or Non Local and Local - or don't call it anything - but Consciousness is always by nature extended in Idea that reflects as experience. It does not seem that way when exclusively focused in the effect through a conditioned mind, but to have an experience of anything requires some act of self-definition relative to that thing. That is to say What Is - Is - regardless of anything that may be said about it. But to say anything about it is to experience it through that idea. That I am is simply evident. But what it is that I am, will be experienced by what I extend and receive. This is not the level of the personality - but the expression of Consciousness.
The box of and exclusively materially identified Consciousness is a negative loop in the conditioning of one's own experience, absent the recognition of the beliefs that result in the experience. To recognize false or dis-serving beliefs and thoughts as the cause of conflicted or dissonant experience is not an appeal to magic to make them go away - nor to try to escape them by focussing intensely in complex problems of a secondary or even illusory nature.
It is simply honesty of observation, welcomed, appreciated and integrated.
Homoeopathy is one of many permission slips by which healing can be accepted.The placebo effect is simply Consciousness and applies to every modality no less. What you actually believe in is a powerful context for anything you undertake - and merely asserting or wishing or trying does in no way change what is actually operating.
Consciousness is far far - I might say infinitely greater, than anything the personality level can conceive or imagine, but we cannot conceive or imagine anything without it - although the personal sense tends to 'take the credit' and presumes ownership and control, supported by the most limited and gross aspects of the body/matter that take on an entirely different purpose within the idea of private consciousness.
Privacy is evaporating in our world experience. And that is reflecting an inner shift. It is not possible to maintain the idea of a split off consciousness without incurring a burden of dissonance - however one interprets that, but it is possible to be aligned with who and what we truly are and that is associated with health, with joy, with unconflicted being, with kindness and compassion - and yet all of these and other like qualities are not added, but are integral to the recognition of one's own existence rather than entanglement in thinking about it and giving focus there instead of embracing that which moves and extends through you that you do not manufacture; creative spontaneity, play, joy, passion and excitement. You are your own proof - when true to your self; to the Consciousness that is all that is right where you story yourself to be. But it isn't a means of gaining control or validity or status. More a recognition that everything is unfolding in a way that includes you and includes what you need to know as you need to know it. This is not hard to glimpse in the Arts - or even in inspired intellectual pursuit. It is the flow of being that would harmonize the instrument to more conductivity - but the personality tends to operate the idea of using the flow as a personal muse or indeed a slave to personal will.
Resonance is the communication of meta-information. All communication operates resonant vibrational qualities of energetic information. Words in and of themselves are not communicating anything. Consciousness is the medium of communication and we are always operating far far more than the waveband we associate with 'waking consciousness'. And if and as there is curiosity, willingness and desire, the 'More' of what we are is restored to our awareness - and this is the journey of a lifetime. No one is here to merely survive, though that urge is is deeply in the template or there would be no continuity of the personality construct as the vehicle of such experience.
Writing this is an example that Consciousness is not 'something else that our life - and yet it embraces what we take to be our life whether we recognize this or not.
I feel it is time to pause the war-mind of materialism and regain our innate curiosity, wonder and appreciation of life, whether that expresses itself in scientific discipline or the Arts, or in unique ways that may seem oddball to others - because a diversity of unique and intercommunicating life is the nature of creative endeavour - NOT a centrally controlled monoculture. Science is not threatened by anything insofar as it is a willingness to uncover the already truth. When its adherents or institutions attack other perspectives than its current model allows it is operating a belief-investment of the same order it decries and derides in such others. Resonance reflects.
Another commenter responds to my conversations:
Materialism is a disease for which the only cure is a crisis, where it is clear that materialism is not working, and one has to try stepping out of that box. We are seeing that in medicine and society as a whole. Materialism is not "wrong"; its just incomplete._
Actually a good homeopathic proving can cure materialism too! ;)

Constructing the world we believe we see
I had fun commenting into a Telegraph article that began thus:
See article
- - -
#1
Perhaps such a line of enquiry could reopen a Consciousness-centric perspective rather than one based on the monotheistic god of 'external reality' (as if there is only one 'external reality' that is Cause unto us rather than effect) in which a split off segregated 'consciousness' is mysteriously associated within its flesh avatar and such personality construct is then defined and bound with a particular facet of the human conditioning.
The point raised in the article is - Is it useful? - which in my terms would be is it resonant and relevant to MY life focus.
While we WANT to NOT know we are in a movie or a game, we seek and find only that which reinforces our desire. If we WANT to know directly - in Consciousness, what it is we are, then we have to desist or pause from identifying and reinforcing what we are NOT - (but enjoy playing out as if it were real).
Science equates brain with mind. There are equations at the level of the patterns of particular forms of consciousness - but brain does not equate to Consciousness any more than a tv originates or contains its signal.
The brain includes functions of blocking out, filtering or masking. Our consciousness uses 100% of its abilities to pretend to be 1% - because it is following a desire that has set it as a 'useful' or relevant and resonant limitation.
All definitions offer the context of our feeling and thoughts and thus perceptions. We do not recognize they are definitions because we call them the world.
The mind that thinks it is a brain tries to control. Look and see the world that rises in reaction to the attempt of coercion. The mind that operates via the brain as the 'diver' in the physical reality experience is a facet of a wholeness which includes the non local or non physical counterpart. The two work together as one - but the nightmare of separation from 'Source' is what sets the human conditioning in guilt, a sense of innate wrongness and no sense of one's integrally communioned consciousness.
The motivation to deny Consciousness and fixate upon and 'external world' upheld ever in one's constant mental distraction, is fear. Unified being or love, has become threatening to the exercise of a separate power that pits itself against and 'lives' by reaction and denial of its undoing unto Self (for want of a better word).
There is always another way of looking at ANYTHING! Imagination is not 'unreal' so much as relegated to unconsciousness while the 'rational' hero 'solves the world'!
This is an example of the non physical/physical unity. We are imagining ourselves and making it real through our experience. If we don't LIKE what we are (unconsciously) creating, we need to OWN what is ours by uncovering the self-definitions that have to be held in order to experience it. Having owned our experience, we are free to make new choices - that is we are free to attend to what we DO want instead of focussing on what we DON'T want - as if we have to get rid of it first.
Uncovering Consciousness goes way deeper than curious puzzles. It blows our cover! (Some might say it blows our mind. Without our mental coercive interferences, reception is crystal clear - and includes where useful, mental aspects of a wholeness of Idea.

One can posit that everything is real. Nothing is more or less real, it is only more or less RELEVANT and RESONANT to YOUR current state of being. One can and will ally in reinforcements both positive and negative that then tend to make largely unconscious conditionings. Uncovering this is what makes us seem like mechanism, yet even the belief we are mere mechanism is creating its experience of a Consciousness event.
The Consciousness Event is Existence Itself - regardless of the perspectives and forms and meanings that colour it. One might say one is given the gift of Existence to go forth and multiply whatever you love (focus on with desire and intention).
The 'Sun shines on the just and the unjust alike'. There is NO coercion involved in true Creation. But a coercive intent arises from the idea of fear, loss and separateness and seems meaningful (real to us) within that context.
#3
Vision rises from self definition in relation to, so if one defines oneself so as to dissociate from one's experience one reduces vision to fragments and associations that effectively preserve a dislocated or withheld attention - which is itself a choice among choices, but not a definer of all choices.
The actual experience of communication is transcendent (whatever medium use or media mused). This is to say Consciousness is within each and all its parts in infinitely rich expression. Vibratory frequencies do not only apply to electromagnetic radiation but to consciousness itself. (Consciousness extends communication via vibratory frequencies that are the carrier signal to all information. One cannot tune it to that which one is not equal to or accepting of.
No one can MAKE another see, but we can let what we behold share itself in the ways that we are attracted and excited by - just because! And there will always be some who share in the movement in consciousness that brought it into being - because that is the function of consciousness. Even if humanity redefines mind as a weapon of mask and deceit.

I replied to Robert Govan
If YOU are real, you GIVE your reality to what you choose to accept. Therefore you ARE free. Watch out for the waiting illusion! The waiting room is full of those who want to sell you something to keep you waiting some more.
What is this 'you' that is being posited here? Can it be shown to exist?
Clearly something is experiencing/experienced. (Even if what is being experienced is a filtered and distorted misperception).
If 'You' are awareness - can you in ANY sense be shown to be separate from the objects of such awareness?
Perhaps with the internet, we have a vocabulary for a virtual self in its virtual world. Like our financial system, much that seemed solid is an evaporation.
If one is going to Embrace Physics - then Consciousness is its Source and nature and expression - but our virtually derived notions of self and consciousness necessarily diminish and deny the true nature of consciousness in order to 'survive'.
As long as the attention and identification persists in activating and reinforcing the virtual reality, it will we 'trapped' or defined thereby. The only 'way out' of an impossible situation is to recognize one is not in it.
Jesus was not a social worker. (Not to say that social workers may not also extend recognition and true worth in all they say and do).

I replied to bohemond:
One might say that the truth and the messengers of truth are forever in our face but while it is turned away there is no reception. But the interference can be used to generate a different kind of experience... of a private, unshared mind. Which plays a part in a world of powers and personas - including philosophers.
#6
I replied to sodit :
Your experience is really experienced - even if it is delusional. When people solicit mutual reinforcement it helps maintain the world as they imagine or wish it to be... for those who share the idea. Whenever such a pride-bubble arises in its scarcity consciousness, it is followed by a crash or fall. Redefining Life in terms of destruction makes a virtue of wasting the Life of oneself and Others. Not that it is a virtue - but that while its on it is believed with great intensity - or else the scarcity consciousness would rise up naked like a Beast from the Deep!

I replied to speedofdark:
I grokked that from school physics - and within it is the realisation of a 'world' that is a model in consciousness. Nothing leaves or is outside consciousness - yet the belief-perception that it does gives rise to some incredible experience - as I'm sure you know. So compelling is it - that one totally forgets consciousness and becomes distracted within the 'world'.
(Note that this journey through time is supported from 'within' - which is to say there are facet of consciousness that are usually un-conscious - from the perspective of what we take to be our waking self).
Information without realisation may be the 'same old same old, but its realisation is always absolutely Fresh!
#9 Comment to article
A brain cannot 'see' or know, it can only facilitate seeing and knowing (or not). The body mind (and brain) is a communication device.
When dissecting scientists did not find a biological Soul they kept the 'self' or persona - and yet should it not have been thrown out with God and the Soul?
Whatever Life/Existence Is - knows Itself through its extensions and by its expressions.
An operating system can be run in emulation layer on an architecture that otherwise it could not run. While the mind identifies exclusively with its local expression it will only 'know' within the emulation layer that it takes as its 'world'.
The non-local is so pervasive - so infinitely omnipresent as to be perfectly invisible. And yet without it, there would be no awareness or experience.
Take care of your brain and your body and your consciousness will realign. But seek to use it as a command and control device and you will find ever more struggle and chaos to have to manage!

I replied to IvyMike:
Maybe if you invert that you'll have a Eureka moment?
Nothing and no one needs tell you that your innate function is to behold - to experience and to know yourself and your Self thereby. This goes on all the time anyway - whether you are conscious of it or not.
No computational activity has any manifest existence until it is translated into experiencable tangibility.
It could be posited that the personality structure that presumes itself the power and actor according to meanings it generates - then blocks and interferes with its true function to no needful benefit excepting a self perpetuating negative loop from which to awaken.
Use your illusion: why human vision is a mathematical impossibility
Nothing you see is real. You can't believe your lyin' eyes. “Colour doesn’t exist in the world,” says Dr Beau Lotto, a neuroscientist at University College London. “Nothing is coloured. That's obvious.” But it’s worse than that: “It’s impossible to see the world as it really is. A mathematical impossibility. This problem isn't just the problem of colour vision, it's the problem of vision, it's the problem of the brain. The problem of uncertainty.”See article

speedofdark commented to the article:
I was being a little sarcastic below since it was a part of 3rd form physics to be told how the perceptive apparatus of our brains worked to decode the external world. That external world is simply energy in various constructs and forms. Our human wiring is of a kind and nature to allow us to see the world in a form that is usable by our species.
Not a lot new in that but that s how it is.

IvyMike commented to the article:
None of this tells us why we need to 'see' at all, as opposed to all being 'philosophical zombies'. A computer linked to a camera can distinguish different colours without 'seeing' anything. The observation part of consciousness seems to have no known useful function.

The I experience
I use the term 'I' or else cant say much! - but if pushed to show or
uncover what the 'I' is - I have to tell you I cant find it! Nor define
or measure it. It is a virtual self - that is - it is not really here at
all despite serving as a context for a world-life experience.
So what is being known directly - exists as shifting thoughts of I or other thought-experience rising and falling to an otherwise formless and limitless quality of awareness.
Our perception-experience is a selective reflection. That it is actually a harmony of parts is a reflection of a unified process of being.
But an exclusive identification with the self concepts - or self-image - makes a distortion experience of apparently independent yet conflicted separate thing-ness amidst a world of things.
And the release of this idea of separate self will allows recognizing the power that actually moves all things one. Absent of all coercion.
The experiential embrace of - and abiding in - presence... without interference, invites true foundation to restore true perspective.
Our words don't have to determine the truth of anything - but that communication occurs at all is witness to shared purpose.
This is the unified and unifying foundation of All That Is: shared purpose.
In attempting private agendas the identification with an apparently independent 'I', sets up a drama and that can be addictive at the level of its engagement. But without the definitions and roles that we mutually ascribe the simple presence of all that is - is a truly unifies awareness revealed to have always been all that is.
Trying to fit perspective of One into a mind in division (a mind in a body in a world) cannot and will never be possible, for such thinking is not itself discerning or feeling/intuiting existence.
My willingness to sketch the unspeakable is of the desire to share the glimpse and open curiosity from a mesmerised attention that thinks it knows and so neglects to look.
That which gave rise to all manifest being is not absent, but in our virtual orphanhood (thinking) we absent ourselves from a direct participance. The symptoms of a our human planet are a call to wake - not to react in fear - but to see fear with new eyes. To see the false foundations from which a parasitic intent usurped the extending and sharing of true relational being.
The fear of love makes the body dense. One's individuality is tangibly and visibly identified by body-mind - but this is abused as a hideout for self concept and dumping ground for guilt and anger.
Who does not know what love is to the body... enlightening, joyous, free and opening in gratitude. Only the blocks to awareness of love cover this over.
So a curiosity to notice allows re-evaluation of such blocks and a shift occurs.
Love is natural to true presence - not as a social or personal manipulation. Love is not a personal or social manipulation. The Now is a point of timelessness when releasing the 'story of me'.
There is always so much more to existence-being than thought or belief could imagine - hence recognizing the blocks or limits and letting more in, such as we are freely willing. There is no coercion in the unified existence.
Always by invitation to willingness. Never coercive upon us -but without persistence and consistency of focus, our vacillations cancel each other out and we prevaricate in a confusion of no real fulfilment at all.
The virtual 'I' is a sort of placeholder concept for the I Am of existence - and yet there IS no substitution for the I Am of existence. This IS our true life and our true world, and the surrogate experiences of a virtual reality in which we seek the 'more' but find the less - and the loss - is as if we had put reality on hold whilst playing very seriously in an imagination.
A wish has all the power that is given it, but the power of shared willingness allows what is already moving to rise to a true awareness in which all is appreciated as it is - free of a personal bias or wish it be different. Here is sanity. Here is peace - and all that can only be fully or truly known, appreciated, loved and shared.

The foundation of science and Unified Consciousness
The masks change but a manipulative intent runs them all.
It smiles that a man thinks he is free as it gives him what to think.
Everything is no more and no less than the purpose to which you use it for.
In this YOU are free to choose - even if you choose to believe what denies your freedom - whether in mechanical meaninglessness or magic powers.
The truth is alive and well - be it of religion or science - but who wants anything do do with that who love's their own thinking more? And who invests in their thinking but feeds a confusion that reacts and grows by reaction so as to usurp a true awareness that both feels and thinks as one?
- - -
science is an activity that disregards unified consciousness excepting in Eureka moments when answers and breakthroughs come 'in'. How could it seem to do that but by investing in beliefs in a separation of observer and observed - and the mutual definitions of a separate 'selfs'? It then focuses only on the cruder aspects of measurable experience that can be brought into its framework.
I am not saying it hasn't value but that at its very roots it has an 'as if' foundation.
Focusing on the external aspect of our conscious experience is not wrong - but it is not whole.
But there is no experience that is outside awareness of it.
The mind is creative and identifies with its creations. The self-concept being 'the first born son'.
Well where is it? - this 'self'
self-evident?
Ah! circular reasoning there.
Something arises as thought, as perception. Even now I have defined thought and perception. What IS thought?
I don't ask you to 'think about it' but pause and consider.
You might say one has to start somewhere. Thoughts can be apparently invoked or manipulated so as to feel a sense of acting upon this undefinable in ways that assert definition.
That something is, yes.
What it is, no.
About it - well endlessly yes one can generate descriptions and relations.
All of which clearly have practical use as we live by them and within them in many respects.
Awareness is in no way separate from the totality of the observed. There is not a 'you' somewhere that 'has' awareness and 'does' observation. Yet clearly there is a focusing and movement of attention relative to objects of awareness and that this has an interactive component in that a thought of control can lead to an experience of controlling.
"I think therefore I am" is the famous dictum.
But what is this 'I Am'? and what is this 'I think'? Because they are here equated as if an idea of coercion or control IS the I AM of Being - of Existence Itself!
This is a usurpation in consciousness in which a presumed or inferred entity has taken unto itself an autonomy that it does not in truth have nor does it have existence outside the I Am - though it can identify with all that it feels some sense of direct control over as 'me' and put all that it has no control over as other or world.
As a theoretical consideration this can be pondered on calmly. But as an experiential reality it is participance in the most fundamental forces of being - as a transformative event in consciousness.
When you use your computer you know somewhere that it is all a virtual representation. You don't actually go' to a website or move a file but have the control of a front end interface that converts your interactions to processes that can output the appropriate results.
I am suggesting that beneath the surfaces we take as reality is an infinite aspect that includes the underpinnings of idea by which all appearances manifest from the most subtle to the most dense and that the door to this awareness is closed by the belief-investment in the separate self idea in control as an autonomous exclusive entity.
The common place retort is to equate the body with the self and say - that's me! But it is a communication device through which I Am.
(I don't use that 'I Am' to denote my personal sense).
Now even supposing you or anyone were still reading... what practical point is there in questioning our very mind and self like this? A true foundation. All proceeds from its foundation in like kind.
- - -
I had a response from cotman:
This an honourable answer and I appreciate that you took the time to share it. If we can maintain an honouring communication then at least there is a foundation in which value is shared - even if the info doesn't find a shared understanding as yet.
Everything I venture to try and express is to the purpose of evaluating and establishing foundation - because all that follows must follow as it follows. Logic is not particular as to whether our starting point is true - which is saying the mind will unify on whatever basis it is predicated.
Putting the earth as the still centre of the Universe expressed logical absurdities once we looked more closely at events.
Putting Consciousness/Awareness out of the Universe IS putting an energetic-materiality as the Cause to which all else is defined effect.
This also expresses as logical absurdities at the very nature of our function. It denies our function. That's why we are human being as well as using science - but if we become redefined by our tools, we lose our human being-ness.
Indeed we may come to see it as a virus upon the Earth while also worshipping its seeming power to define, analyse, predict and control. The machine-mind deals only with data. Your honouring of me despite the apparently incomputable data demonstrates your humanity. This is not a check box ticked. This is gratitude expressed.
Oh if there were a request for a specific I could be concise.
Existence itself is not thought derived or interpreted - you can verify it, now and always now.
But addictive identification with interpreted reality/self REFUSES to allow any exposure or perceived threat to its (lack of) foundation.
But Reality doesn't and cant threaten YOU because it Is you!
'God' (I dont have to use that term) is being all that you are - all of it.
There's no escape nor any need or sense in escaping what is.
The Prodigal Son took a living inheritance - that is, the Source remains Wholly and Holy alive but ignored in an process of imaginary personal independence.

Reflections on an expanding consciousness
NASA discovers a new radiation belt around the Earth
Because science looks 'outside' in a way that cuts off what then seems inside, it tries to reverse-engineer Life, The Universe and Everything, from the fragments of a Humpty Dumpty that wont go back together again.
Yet of course we are seeing a reflection of an extended range of perception and have all sorts of stirrings as a result.
I find it heartwarming to consider that what we take as our understanding - (which tends to a mechanical universe mechanically justifying mechanical processes - with a nod to the evolutionary marvel of human intelligence which is going to get to the bottom of it all - isn't it!) - what we take to be true - is only a partial perspective - and that new information comes up that has the potential to shift everything from what was thought to be a foundation.
Now I don't know when or how - or if - it will be scientifically uncovered - but there is something in the nature of awareness that interfaces with a movement that can never be defined or measured. It cant even be called a 'something' because awareness itself is its nature and expression - not merely as local Universe but of Individuality infinitely expressed. The Word gives Definition - that is - awareness knows itself through the object of its thought. However, when a mind elects to know itself AS its own thought rather than as the Process of recognition itself, behold! I make all things in my own image!
To cut a long story short, the collapse from the awareness of being - becomes a 'Big Bang' experience in self-limitation such that everything outside an immediate sense of identified control is withdrawn from and differentiated as other or 'not self' and the tiny mind amidst unconsciousness - which is 'born' of an unconsciousness of its true source-nature - becomes the 'discoverer' and 'explorer' of a reality of chaotic and frightening aspect. This is at times very thrilling, high stimulus, challenging and sensual - quite addictive in fact. But only as a grasping at a substitute for the sense of being that has been lost.
But is a way of using action and reaction to get a virtual sense of self from that blots out the subtler and unifying awareness of integrally being.
The virtual self experience is defended against what would undermine it and is generally focused on the gross aspects of a polarized experience - and yet this is a kind of unconsciousness and the subtler aspects invoke and connect with a wholeness of being that cannot be accounted for within the vocabulary of the gross tangibles - and so stories to convey the feeling came into being as carriers of a deeper knowing - that are not meant to be more than the envelope for the message.
The mind that equates itself with a meat brain is one that has not looked within - not within its own thinking - but within this moment of awareness to the source nature and condition that is modified as our perception experience - yet has not actually become anything else. The dream in which we are separated consciousnesses is by desire made unconscious. But as science is un-covering, we are not what we think we are - much less who. Right in the place where we thought we knew, a shift occurs that renders our foundations faulty. Not because something real moved - but because something unreal was uncovered to awareness.
The pervading fields that are at the edge of our visibility have particulate effects.
But rather than try to get ever more subtle leverages upon the material, energetic and biological world, why not open to the oneness of the particle and the wave. You are an expression of Being - both the Is that pervades all and the exact moment of being just this event. They are not two - and nor can what has been divided be put back together - because its indivisibility is already true. Man wants to recreate life and make and order it to his own control - but isn't that a really Big Clue! What kind of science comes out from a sense of awakened wonder? Good science - and I don't just mean good data - I mean work that truly serves an awakening humanity and not the prostitution of the mind for the indulgence of superficial and self destructive appetites. Go for it - it's alive! It Feels deeply inspiring. Yes good science also needs trustworthy data. But trust isn't just a method applied - its a discernment in a relational field. You cant cut out the living part and expect it to be real unless your goal is to be really dead!
This writing extends and magnifies a relational field - it is tangible and yet only knowable by its effects. The defended mind keeps out that for which it cannot yet integrate - but it is being transformed from within by its own alignments with Life - such as to be resonant with qualities that before were not consciously available. Hence, inspiration, insight, recognition, discernment, convergence or coincidence of that which brings forth the next step, Self realisation (selfless and timeless awareness), Integrated Consciousness - that allows all aspects of a situation within itself and remains able to wash dishes, solve equations or whatever is called forth as one natural relational expression.

Making sense of of pre-sense prior to pre-tense
We are one sense; feeling.
Awareness feels tones, qualities and textures of thought.
Awareness is not directly aware of anything but its own objects and is in no way separate from its objects.
Self awareness is a movement of recognition by which awareness knows itself aware amidst the knowing of its object. When such knowing identifies with an image or thoughtform of itself, it creates an interference pattern in the reflection of Mind, which is never static though what Mind is never changes.
This sense of a self identification has no sense of itself differentiated excepting that while identification occurs the totality 'collapses' as an ideational event of specificity and yet dissolves to totality. This collapse is experience of limitation and yet not exclusively identified. and so is concurrent with infinite or unbounded communication (Totality).
The apparent separation of consciousness as exclusively identified with limited experience is a matter of focussing of desire as attention, and interpretation of resulting experience via attraction and repulsion.
The duality of such interpretive comparisons of values reflect the active identification, and comparison of states - memory - provides the building blocks for the evolution of interpretive identifications to interact as story or process of becoming. The assumption of personal responsibility or guilt, for the sense of disconnect that this process engenders brings with it density, and opacity of experience in which a 'body' of light is covered by a symbol of separated and separating consciousness. This proxy or virtual self attempts to deny the Mind in order to maintain its mind. Yet all of the power of creating its experience is directly coming from Mind - because the separation is not actual - it is not possible to be separate from Mind and exist - even in virtual identifications of an interpreted reality.
The fulfilment of function is in reopening mind to Mind as an integral wholeness of being. To be 'in the world but not of it. Mind is invisible only because it is all pervading. Its in our face - it is our face. It is invisible to the egocentric identification. But it remains true, that awareness feels or knows its object and recognizes itself in the extension of itself.
In a conventional sense we can realize in all honesty that we do not know what we are or what anything is for. This allows native being to reintegrate and transform the interpretive sense to become porous or transparent instead of self conflicting and opaque. This may be experienced as insight, inspiration, integrative answers or prompts of guidance and direction.
It comes from beyond the capacity of control and it comes to an at least temporary suspension of control and is recognized by the desire that called it forth. Which is already moving before you knew you wanted it.
This is sketching - for feeling into. It is not an intent to define or defend as a 'body of knowledge' or point of view. It starts with the presumption of awareness. Not self, not world - but awareness or Mind.

Mystery of Human Consciousness
Reading the article and some of the comments of:
The Top Ten Mysteries of the First Humans
prompted this sketch of an article.
~ ~ ~
The surface mind attempts to conceive or imagine a construct that 'justifies' and makes sense of the thinker, to itself. Such a thinker believes (and experiences) that they are as the preposition of that construct defines. This is an overlay of consciousness-experience upon what might be called Mind or pure awareness.
Creation in its pure sense didn't 'happen' in the past because it is an Eternal Is. That is, it is the Always and Only Condition. Our Father, Who Art (in) Heaven. Not 'Other' and 'than which nothing truly can be 'other'.
Thought in its original movement, IS the Movement of Being within itself in which Awareness Knows it is aware, through the shared or unified nature of being - which is love. The 'I think therefore I am' is not the proof of a separate self from the process of thought or being but a realization of Life as Movement of Being Itself.
BUT, to use the sense and image of I, as a focal point from which to stand as it were 'outside' or separate from the Movement of Being, is to introduce a lens of separative thought as a filtering and distorting experience - whose sense of 'self' substitutes for the unified awareness of being - IN ITS OWN focal experience. This is so because what IS cannot actually Be as it is not, and so remains true even through the experiences of a thought that seems to have splintered Wholeness and become a mind alone and all by itself - with other similar 'minds'. Whose separateness seems survival itself and is protected by a body - that is an aspect of Mind associated with tangibility of identification over which some degree of control can be temporarily effected.
The surface mind cannot and will not look within at its own underpinnings but looks fixedly without - at a world of form in space and time - that is to its perspective … life.
It does not see that it is looking at Self because it is not looking with Self or as Self.
Everything about it is programmed or mechanical, yet it believes it has 'free will' - which is to say free to think or do according to its own 'choice'.
Choice was introduced in the separation thought as a sense of being able to choose to be in the experience of separateness or to rest in Unified Being and let the experience dissolve. It is not a real choice because a choice between Everything and nothing cannot really have but one outcome if you ARE One with Everything. But choice became a substitute for true Freedom - which is simply the Movement of Being that Is love.
That Thought can say "Let there be light" - and there Is light, ought hardly to be surprising. But in the orphaned surface consciousness that we take to be reality, thought is made weak and material force and form seems overwhelming - but not quite... This is by design of a mind that became afraid of its own power and nature, that hides its confusion in unconsciousness - from which only those thoughts which protect its survival are allowed consciousness.
But the construct of a separateness that is not true is like an eddy in a flowing river. The forces that gave rise to its pattern are not themselves Eternal - and change and disintegration are inherent to what seemed a centre around which all else moved.
Thoughts can reflect the Eternal as well as the temporal. The difference is the focus.
As long as the focus is fixed on the surface reality, this is given your life because your attention is the movement of your awareness. But to put aside or suspend this exclusive focus - that is to relax the mind of identity, differentiation and judgement or desire - allows the Natural Focus of Unified Being to register to your awareness - as You.
If this is given welcome and not rejected, it grows and restores your mind to a naturally aligned perception - that is as the expression and extension of the Movement of Being that it never has not been. In such awakened intelligence is the nowness of form seen truly in its living context - and recognized as of One Mind and not seen as a conflicted and polarized reflection of a mind at war with itself.
Talking to the crowd or the footballers, while a game is on, as to the true nature of the game, is a futile gesture! But a willingness to write this here may meet with those whose attention or allegiance has waned for the game and who are therefore available to notice.

The surface mind attempts to conceive or imagine a construct that 'justifies' and makes sense of the thinker, to itself. Such a thinker believes (and experiences) that they are as the preposition of that construct defines. This is an overlay of consciousness-experience upon what might be called Mind or pure awareness.
Creation in its pure sense didn't 'happen' in the past because it is an Eternal Is. That is, it is the Always and Only Condition. Our Father, Who Art (in) Heaven. Not 'Other' and 'than which nothing truly can be 'other'.
Thought in its original movement, IS the Movement of Being within itself in which Awareness Knows it is aware, through the shared or unified nature of being - which is love.

Satan? Deception, mind-stories and true intimacy
I chanced on this page when checking a bit on the origins of Lucifer and Satan. I always feel a quality I can relate with in a love of truth, so in that sense communication embodies a truth that cannot be itself spoken. Call it ‘one-mindedness’ or ‘of one kind’ or don’t call it anything. But this living context that we call ‘mind’ is not at all identical to anything that we think or define and accept it to be – yet it is the underlying truth in which stories in mind, belief and all experience are ‘played out’. Inseparably.
That the mind can deceive and be deceived is not in question, but the mind that can deceive and be deceived is NOT the mind beneath the stories of self and world. That true mind which I will now call Mind is the truth in which experience is had, indulged in or transcended – even if the experience is an effect using an imagination as a lens over truth.
Our stories are both personal and cultural, and constitute our self definitions and justifications in the context of an intolerable or denied sense of being. This may not be obvious because we WANT our stories to save or protect or mitigate our sense of dissonance, and so our human consciousness is fitted to look out through the lens of our stories rather than look at the filters of belief themselves.
There is a movement in Mind that is self-aware, it is inherent or innate to what Mind is. "Know Thyself", is an alpha and omega – (as well as the truth all the while one seems to know a something ‘else’).
Yet while an active preference for ‘knowing’ our own story prevails over knowing directly, we give ourselves an experience that ‘shares’ the sense of self that is gotten in stories. I say ‘shares’ because mutual agreement (or indeed interlocking shadow projections of mutual disagreement) do not constitute a true intimacy – but rather, it validates a sense of separated self by its thoughts – which is what maintains a virtual sense of self – as our ego or self image.
The capacity to ‘live’ in or through our stories; our ego, uses a defining and judging aspect of our mind. This capacity is limited, no matter how much force is brought to bear or how ingeniously we package and present a lack of real presence as if it were truly meaningful.
Self awareness – is simply noticing. And no matter how ingenious our defences are for maintaining our mind-in story, there are constant breaches through which we notice… that which undermines or fails to support our story-self. And the complexity and speed in which a protection of mind-in story works to deny, distract and reconfigure itself so as to appear continuous and real is witness to the power of Mind, even in the self-limiting act of asserting one’s own story-experience as true (For this inherently denies or discards a direct awareness of the true nature of Mind).
Now, I didn’t know what I was going to write when I started, but I see an attempt to sketch something that can serve awakening to an activity we are humanly and culturally disposed to render unconscious. To put 'out of mind', and also to awaken to and as the innocence and natural curiosity and delight of a direct relationship in and as an expression of Mind; an unselfconscious love.
We find a movement in our being that delights in stories, and we know we can enjoy them without mistaking them for reality, for they can reflect the innate qualities of Mind as well as the imagined attributes of a ‘free will’. But mind can also be conditioned, such as to program itself by its own choices, and become so engaged and identified in its story, that it becomes self destructive in guilt and via fear. A sense of invalidity and worthlessness of self that militantly denies love welcome and substitutes with token acts or sacrifices that are ‘loving’ in order to get.
Waking up, healing, reintegrating – these terms point to a release from a deception that is ultimately self-illusion – no matter how the story tells it. This is Good News, though we rarely want to hear it.
The purpose of the stories of the ego is in exploring and experiencing a sense of PERSONAL creation. It was an innocent act by which we frightened ourselves and became caught up in our own defences so as to commit to a false or mistaken sense of our self. All that came from that has never left its starting point.
Yet within our stories – personal and cultural – is the penetration of the movement of healing or awakening – and this is the purpose that guides the mind that thinks its name or nature is legion, to calm, to listen, to discern and to trust a true relationship in which its own true nature reveals itself in unified expression.
All things serve the purpose we are actively holding in our heart (regardless of the stories in our head). The wish to personally determine what is true established the mind or purpose of division and judgement; the mind of control. To every action there is reaction. If we make this mind real to us then we suffer its effects likewise!
Unified action is a movement of wholeness and not an imposed partiality. This is beyond concept but not beyond witnessing. We may uncover a willingness to pause, to truly or directly listen or notice, and to discern – that is – to FEEL the qualities that are present. In recognition of a reintegrated being we have a basis to trust the movement that is NOT the ‘will to control’ or prevail, but is the feeling of life in unified expression.
This gives embodiment to that which is felt as an expression of a truly shared worth and integrity of being.
The religious or spiritual urge at its root is the intuition of truth and not the attempt to define, map, explain or manipulate – but its spark is quickly covered in attempts to weave it into our story, to use it for our ‘selves’, where the forms originally associated with joy may become weapons or instruments of ‘righteous’ war, and slavery of thought. Truth is not reducible to forms - even 'holy forms' are reflections and expression of what is beneath form. In this sense 'Bible' (to one who receives guidance and illumination from it), would mean the direct communication of God to man - but it isn't a form in its own sake but a living covenant or relationship in the truth of the heart in which the one that thinks itself 'man' is restored to its True Relationship as God's Expression, of a kind with all that lives and is. This cannot be used in the world as a manipulative sense but that such relationship is lost to a world of form given meanings, which is our freedom to engage but not our true fulfilment.
How to reach the mind of those who love to hate? Or those who mistake abject slavery for freedom and security? One cannot speak to that which cannot hear. But in every encounter, we can desist from joining with it and validating it in our own mind – such as the grace of noticing and true desire brings. Judgement always rejects and withdraws, but the recognition of our own mind where we saw it as another allows healing of one's own mind - which naturally extends as invitation and gift to the other or the situation - to the degree their willingness accepts.
Nothing I have said here requires belief, but it may call for suspending a believing AGAINST. The power of the mind is witnessed in every experience and yet is invisible to those who know not what they do. It is not a mind of control that judges and lords it over our being – unless you establish that measure – and even then, only in your own mind-made experience - with those you can draw into collusion.
The prodigal does not come home to a trial and punishment – but to a True Remembrance – regardless of anything that he thought he thought or did. But ‘coming Home’ is precipitated by a rude or discomfiting awakening to a bankruptcy of self, through which the intuition of Life stirs and is given welcome, such as to be turned in purpose from demanding self-will to a willingness to truly serve. In the expression of this purpose is the servant replaced with the Original Nature; “My Son”.
I never did get to write about the fear of our own thought that became personified in stories of awakening as the deceiver – and then became a basis for stories of control.
I did notice that Santa is an anagram of Satan. Pretty much knocked the Divine Birth (the thirst for truth and its welcome), from Christmas.
We personify aspects of mind – by identifying with or rejecting, but they never in fact ever, leave the mind except in story. Release the guilt we ‘put out’ by asking truly within this very moment. Otherwise we seed and feed the very thing we hate, unknowing.
But what do we really hate? And is hating it actually helpful? Is this what we truly want?
One doesn’t have to believe in God to be healed, but one does have to put behind the wish the deceive oneself. Mind is never really locked or fixed but that belief has set it so, and beliefs can be changed or released. What we give our attention to is the chooser of experience and the layers of beliefs that filter and condition this can be released into a direct trust that brings forth a different experience – because it is of a different foundation and purpose.
Thankyou for your attention.

The Queen’s earplugs are just the lead we require in the battle on noise
Silence is conducive to noticing.
By distraction, stimulation and a reactive 'thinking' that passes as one's own or one's self, it is possible to not notice the Presence of God - as the Source, Nature and Condition of all that is this instant arising in awareness as the conscious experience of be-ing.
Clearly, what is called consciousness is generally a programmed unconsciousness. Programmed by its own identification with its own thoughts and their resultant experiences and identifications.
True Silence is simple an unconflicted awareness and is still totally Present in the simple realisation that we do not know what we are or what anything is for. This is resisted with noise - but this 'nothingness' is the condition in which a different kind of 'knowing' rises as the self aware nature of ... awareness itself.
Concepts have never approached what is un-seperate or Unified Wholeness because they emanate from a mind already engaged in self definition. Rather than try to conceive of what is already true, simply rest the mind and become attentive to the qualities of being that escape your notice while engaging in distractions of a self protective thinking - that is wholly unaware of what your truth Is!

Reality beyond magic (response to article: 'The Magic of Reality' by Richard Dawkins
Qualities of be-ing - such as awe, beauty, wonder - and indeed love in its root sense of oneness with - are not the realm of science - but of course the practice of science is in a context of intimacy - because being is an Intimacy that cannot be defined.
Because our mind does define reality - in its own imaged symbol and concept - we have identification with our definitions. I am this - I am not that.
This psychological self is a fundamental to all else that comes forth. Like a big bang it 'splits' Unified Singularity into an experience of apparent division, in which awareness seems to be locked into - or existing AS - a mind predicated upon selection or judgement. The psychological self of such a mind is associated with a will or focus of control that can be called 'survival'. It is outwardly oriented toward objects - including the seemingly private objects of its own thought. It cannot 'know' of what is forever beyond its capacity, that is it cannot know of the innate qualities of Be-ing - but that it is suspended or temporarily unemployed.
You are infinitely more than your thought could ever define or 'know', for you are the awareness in which All experience occurs. But this is not the psychological 'you' - but you as Expression of Universal Awareness.
We cannot turn the source of awareness back upon itself, but we can look at the objects that arise in awareness - and so we study 'the world'. But the apparatus we are looking WITH may colour and distort the findings - as a lens darkly.
So science is an attempt to uncover truth uncoloured by wishful or manipulative stories. But in doing so it separates the observer from the observed and reduces its remit to the most gross of phenomena.
Of course there is a value in using 'as if' to conjecture, test and apply or incorporate findings, but 'as if' is not the nature and truth of awareness Itself.
Science must be of true service to humanity and not merely of utility to vested interests - if it is to hold the allegiance in the hearts of those who do feel the desire to serve and honour life.
The capacity to act out the mode of conflicted competition is not our original nature. I say this because I know that there is a love of truth that abides in a communion with that which is forever Alive beyond definition - whatever symbols or stories we may or may not use as our attunement.
I look to discern as best I may - that which is of true service to us all. To do this necessitates suspending or putting aside the personal investments of the psychological self that is forever seeking to validate and support itself in differentiation.
Writing as I do, is attempting to communicate from a different presumption of self and so is defended against by the mind that is certain that it thinks it knows. Of myself I make no particular claim - but of a sense of love and beauty and wonder I am willing to reach out.
The blindness of man is that he thinks he is what he thinks he is - self validates in mutual agreements - but forever finds difference and opposition and makes overcoming this his 'meaning' in life. But Meaning - (Unified Singularity) preexists even the thought 'I".

The 8 Biggest Scientific Myths - Robert Lanza
Six comments into a page on the Huff Post:
“The 8 Biggest Scientific Myths”
(and an unused extra)
(To a comment that decries ungrounded wishful thinking and does not see causal linkage beween consciousness and universe).
For sure we all have to own and watch the desire to find what we want to be true.
My own sense is that what we might here call 'consciousness' IS the collapse - not in a linear time space sense of cause and effect but that the Event itself is an Expression of a Singularity.
We humanly do not see it like that, but tend to 'see a fragmented universe of forces outside our mind that is itself already a definition from which the sense of a psychological I-thought arises. Much of our perception is a validator of this I-thought. You might call that survival - but you are not the I-thought, nor the experience its thought defines - but are inherently one with Whatever Awareness Is. Now you can personalize this and say my awareness or human awareness - but its inexplicable Mystery is not only In Your Face Always - but is the True and Unified Living Context - of Everything.
The programs running that effectively result in an end-user human experience are multilayered and complex, and they are truly the feedback of the Living Universe to Itself - and not consumer-fare of an imaginary end user who believes his life is in some way separated and autonomous. However, the Unified Experience Is fulfilling in a transcendental sense - for the Living Universe embodies what in our highest sense we call love. But the perception of a loveless consciousness can only 'see' in terms of of exclusion.
- - -
(To a comment that we may interpret reality - but surely do not define it)
You are presuming reality to be external to you. Which is both a definition and an interpretive mechanism.
If you're ok to consider this, look at 'There is no God but God', 'Make no image (definition) of God or any living thing', as principles of Mind. (Nothing to do with external believed Deity).
Substitute Mind for god if you like. The 'define, divide and rule' mentality is a causative lens via which a polarized experience is called forth.
There is nothing so awesome or so potentially terrifying as the power of Mind - the perspective of self-will DEMANDS that the mind be made tiny and weak - or it fears to be undone to nothingness by the Power that it now sees in its own image.
To actually reopen the basic tenets of Reality to question in any cultural sense is not to rebrand old thinking in hopeful ways - but to become the scientists of our own mind, experience and relationship. Terms can me misleading, so consciousness - as a a focus and act of desire and attention is usually not what I would call Mind - but a process within Mind. But essentially 'human mind' makes the world in its own image and overlays this upon the Indivisible. To the Unified Perspective, everything both is part and whole and so is clearly defined in its inherent interrelatedness without the sense of fixed separateness that human definition assert.
- - -
(To a comment on the vast order of magnitude on elemental or wild forces - and the incomparably frail human capacity)
Absolutely true. Be humbled of notions of personally owning or controlling Life the Universe or Anyything. From such a perspective you will attend differently, and may even come to open at a deeper level of anything you dreamed existed in your being, in such wise that you experience a singularity of Event that - not only blows away all the theories or symptoms that express an orphaned consciousness - but also awakens or restores a true appreciation of the Indivisibility of Being. The reintroduction of Mind or Consciousness as a True Environment or Unified Context - cannot be in any way equated with the human identity construct that it generally equates with mind. So I value that you made your point.
The 'mind' or mentality of wishful thinking is a lawless and disconnected imagination. and is a divorce of 'mentality' from any felt or discerned context. But a true appreciation of awareness is of a feeling being and not a disconnected thinking that then seeks command and control so as to prevail. So while seconding your point I also invite a greater willingness to uncover more of the true nature of what awareness is and what the objects of awareness are. I don't see this as an anatomy class - but as a willingness to be inspired from sources currently unmapped.

(A General comment into the page)
Human mind is a construct - occurring _within_ what may be referenced as 'Mind, Awareness, Being or God' - (But can never be objectified but only intuited through Effects).
There is no need to look outside or go anywhere to directly enquire of the nature of awareness. All that is required is to still the chattering thinking mind and release the desire to assert a private authoritative power or will upon the Current Movement of Being. In the absence of such, there is no dualistic or divided nature, nor reflected experience arising that validates such a split. Moreover, the mechanics of the construct of the separate self sense are no longer 'hidden' by being looked out from and through. To try and think this journey is simply an extension of the activity of thinking. Real thought is an expression of true enquiry and revelation. The wave is the heart's desire and the thoughts are the carriers. Always discern the true desire in the silence or truth of your being. Then do your science or whatever as a connected expression of Universal Will.

“But what - exactly - is the question?”

The movement I feel, is uncovering a scientific
---
(Written in this consideration but not used)
To attempt to communicate to a presumed separate mind is to channel new wine to old structures that are already predicated to interpret all things from a flawed predication.
But the structural integrity of such separate self sense weakens with the advent of a dawning awareness that initially rises 'beneath the radar' of otherwise immaculate defences, and the mind of past experience is willingly put aside in order that fresh perspective arises.
That awareness can 'trap itself' in its own thought/beliefs has to be the most comic and tragic of abilities - depending on the active perspective. I feel its time to wake up to a greater perspective than limited thought and with that will come a transformed appreciation of not just the observable or tangible Universe - but of the inherent Meaning that is its True Expression. It is the context that shifts.
This is of course beyond belief - and that is why belief has to be at least suspended. The process is generally a shift over moments of time. Just don't think. But watch and be active as desire for truth.

Human mind is a construct - occurring _within_ what may be referenced as 'Mind, Awareness, Being or God' - (But can never be objectified but only intuited through Effects).
There is no need to look outside or go anywhere to directly enquire of the nature of awareness. All that is required is to still the chattering thinking mind and release the desire to assert a private authoritative power or will upon the Current Movement of Being. In the absence of such, there is no dualistic or divided nature, nor reflected experience arising that validates such a split. Moreover, the mechanics of the construct of the separate self sense are no longer 'hidden' by being looked out from and through. To try and think this journey is simply an extension of the activity of thinking. Real thought is an expression of true enquiry and revelation. The wave is the heart's desire and the thoughts are the carriers. Always discern the true desire in the silence or truth of your being. Then do your science or whatever as a connected expression of Universal Will.

To attempt to communicate to a presumed separate mind is to channel new wine to old structures that are already predicated to interpret all things from a flawed predication.
But the structural integrity of such separate self sense weakens with the advent of a dawning awareness that initially rises 'beneath the radar' of otherwise immaculate defences, and the mind of past experience is willingly put aside in order that fresh perspective arises.
That awareness can 'trap itself' in its own thought/beliefs has to be the most comic and tragic of abilities - depending on the active perspective. I feel its time to wake up to a greater perspective than limited thought and with that will come a transformed appreciation of not just the observable or tangible Universe - but of the inherent Meaning that is its True Expression. It is the context that shifts.
This is of course beyond belief - and that is why belief has to be at least suspended. The process is generally a shift over moments of time. Just don't think. But watch and be active as desire for truth.

Meaning is irrelevant to science except as inferences derived of its own thinking process. But Meaning is Unified Field.
