The View From the Left Hemisphere of the Universe

Thanks for your quick reply! My question, I must admit, was a bit mischievous. I see Consciousness as totally indefinable, as I see it to be everywhere, and therefore nowhere. I see it as all there is, and I see that it becomes fully aware of itself through humans, and maybe other species in very different ways. The Absolute knowing Itself through the Relative. I see that we are not separate from the Universe, but the Universe aware of itself, revelling in itself. All the problems we have as a species are a product of seeing ourselves as less than that, of thinking ourselves to be separate ‘lumps of stuff’ called Me and You, with the big, scary Universe ‘out there’ somewhere, when it is in fact All One.

But then I’m just funny like that, and anyway it’s all puny words trying to define the infinite;)

Thanks again for your very thoughtful piece.

Fine piece of writing. Just one thing – what is ‘consciousness’, and where is it to be found? Just askin’;)

Changing the mental blocks to change

I think we’re definitely on the same page here, chaz.

In our first years we have no sense of any separate self. That only comes by relating to ‘stuff out there’ and forming a mental picture of who we are. This happens both on the personal and universal level, of course, and as I see humanity as being barely adolescent at this time, we still have plenty of image-forming to do in relation to that Stuff. We’re like kids flailing about, trying to make sense of our hormones. But this too can pass:)

This is a very stimulating topic, chazmania, and touches depths that need airing. Thanks for posting it:)

By ‘lost in thought’ I meant more that we identify with our thoughts – I say my thoughts are who I am, rather than my thoughts are just that, thoughts – activity in my brain, which just comes and goes. Our thoughts are generated by responding to others’ thoughts, way on back to the dawn of human awareness, and are always based on an incomplete understanding of reality. Once we see this, we can then move forward, evolve in fact – the first species on the planet to choose its own evolution. No outcome is certain, but we can’t plead ignorance once we’ve seen through the illusion. We can choose where humanity goes next, and that, to me, is hugely empowering, and a sure antidote to despair.

I like your drift. The condition of humanity is one of being ‘lost in thought’, and we have to get out of our minds and our comfort zones, see the world as it really is, without fear, and consciously evolve to change what we don’t like in what we see. I believe one of the keys to this actually happening will be when the planet fully wakes up to what really happened on 9/11. That is happening, and won’t be stopped. The hypnotic trance most of us were put into on that day is wearing off – for me that came about seven years back.

We can do a whole lot better than we are doing, and we shall. Humanity Rocks – we just don’t think we do, through religious, cultural conditioning, and so we act that out. Time to wake up and smell the coffee:)

The Crisis of Reality

I’ve been lurking here on and off ever since this fine place hit the cosmos (I had another – brief – incarnation at Another Place:)), but haven’t felt compelled to do any more than admire the erudition, warmth and genuine respect that’s so evident here. You folks rock.

It occurs to me, reading this excellent post, that the answer is right in front of us, here on the Planet and in our everyday, most uncommon lives. Love is all there is, love it is that will save us. All else is just scary thoughts in our minds, to which we pay too much attention.

I’ll probably have to write my own post on the subject now;)
