The Science of Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

As the heading states, this post is more to do with the science of consciousness rather than the spiritual aspect of consciousness, this post also goes on from where my last post, Going Beyond Human Perceptions, left off. It matters not if we are talking about the science of everything or the spiritual aspect of everything, it’s still awareness building, and most importantly, it’s still in relation to consciousness no matter what.

Mentality of consciousness: In my last post, I stated that this universe has a mentality that can and does influence us, to do this, such energy sources has to be alive in some way and conscious of it’s own existence. Is a lump of rock or a gas cloud, for example, able to know of it’s own existence?  Even though rocks and gas clouds are a part of consciousness itself, such energy forms are unable to comprehend their own existence, this is the same with human beings, we are unable to comprehend anything else beyond our own perceptions. Even though we are conscious of our own existence, we are not conscious of any other existence not of our perceptions and understanding.

Psychologically, such limited perceptions gives us a certain kind of mentality, this in turn creates the reality that is inline with such mentalities. This is why rocks are unable to express a certain mentality unlike human beings, they can be influenced by a  consciousness but they can’t express such consciousness. This is basically due to rocks being unable to become aware of itself and anything else around it, self awareness make us more expressive of the mentality that is influencing us. Take expressing egotism for an example, egotism is brought about by a certain kind of mentality, usually a mentality that that can be aware or unaware of it’s destructiveness. Once you become influenced by such a mentality, you become less aware of other perceptions which gives egotism it’s destructiveness. If you are unaware of other perceptions, either deliberately or not, you are going to destroy or hurt what you are unaware of, again this is natural law within such universes/realities.

Now if the universe is made up out of rocks and gas clouds, for example, how can such a universe be expressive of any  kind of mentality, they are unable to know of their own existence are they not?

True, but what I am saying is a consciousness behind the creation of the universe is aware of it’s own existence through it’s own expressions of itself, in other words the universe, and everything the universe creates, is but an expression of consciousness. This is important to understand because if it’s conscious and expressive of it’s own existence, as of anything conscious in this way, it’s expressive of  some kind of mentality.

Expressing conscious: Man cannot manipulate any other consciousness that is more aware of itself than man is, he can however manipulate and express his kind of mentality upon any other consciousness equal or less aware of it’s own self, this is why scientists, for example,  are able to manipulate other energy sources. Scientists are now looking at creating a universe, on a small scale of course, such a universe will react according to the mentality creating it, this is very much like the universe we exist in ourselves.

 Because the universe we exist in is violent, does this mean the consciousness that created such a universe is violent?

We need to consider other universes that weren’t created and act as violent as our own universe to answer this question. These passive universes were also created from the same exact consciousness, the big difference has to do with the mentality of a consciousness creating such universes, not the consciousness itself as a whole.

This consciousness is expressive of all of what it is, this includes expressing a mentality that can be destructive, we actually exist in a very egotistical universe, it’s always forcing it’s own expressions onto everything else around it, at times quite violently. Now imagine a passive universe, a passive universe would obviously, to me, create passive life forms, this would in turn create such beauty, within it’s love and understanding, we can only imagine, in other words these life forms would be quite overwhelmingly beautiful to us. To us however beauty or being beautiful relates to egotism, we paint and dress ourselves up to look beautiful so we could quite easily perceive such a passive existence would be highly egotistical, this however isn’t the case.

These beings, within such passive realities, express beauty without trying, they actually don’t even really try to express such beauty, this comes naturally, this is all due to the passive universes mentality they are influenced by.  We on the other hand are influenced by a more aggressive mentality, this however doesn’t mean such expressive mentalities are less unworthy, it just means we are expressive of consciousness in a certain way. Within our kind of universe, we need to be expressive of beauty as much as we can, yes it’s egotistical but it’s going with the natural laws of such universes. There are however universes/realities that don’t even try to express such beauty,  these realities are primarily influenced by a mentality that is highly destructive, much more destructive than our own universes mentality.

Does this again mean consciousness itself (God) is destructive within it’s own mentality? Yes and no, take how Buddha repelled the influences from destructive mentalities and became enlightened in the process, each universe/reality has it’s influences that we can or not give into. A less aware consciousness is going to go along with such mentalities, the less aware a consciousness is, the more it is able to be influenced by these destructive mentalities. You could say each universe/reality is a test, you are going to fail these tests if you are unaware, but if you are aware, you are obviously going to pass such tests, we too, as humans, express the same laws. What is above is certainly below in one sense or another.

You could say consciousness itself wrote out these tests by creating universes for example, however, these tests are not expressed until we participate in such tests, in other words these tests are not expressed until we express them as individual parts of consciousness itself. Consciousness itself is unable to be expressive of such expressions until it expresses itself in individual forms, some individual parts of itself are aware, other not so aware. Consciousness itself is unable to be expressive of anything beyond it’s own awareness, this means consciousness itself cannot express any kind of destruction, however, more ignorant parts of this consciousness can, this is why we try to become one with this consciousness, this can only occur however if we pass all these tests at the soul level. The beautiful thing about this, it’s happening on quite a large scale, more and more of us are passing such tests at the soul level, a more passive existence is but a stones throw away for a lot of us.  

Again, please don’t take what I have written here as gospel, it’s purely my perspective, nothing else…….
