On Consciousness
#17
(08-08-2024, 11:29 PM)l0st Wrote: Well, the current school of thought on consciousness as of late is that we may all, in fact, be part of a single central conscious.

This sounds a lot like what I've been converging upon moreso later than sooner. It's about the nature of 'identity', and that it may not be as separate and distinct as it appears. In this proposition the physical vessel would play a more significant role in defining individuality. I tend write more about this within an artistic/poetic context.

The idea here is that 'spirit' represents a core fundamental consciousness that emerges or re-emerges as primordial around the same time as the universe, and that it only becomes individual and distinct when it is seeded or housed within a specific physical vessel.

Once a portion, segment, or 'spark' of this original "spirit" is "seeded" to form a union with a physical vessel it is then referred as a "soul". This also appears reminiscent(to me) of the old Hermetic axiom "As above so below." where you have the spirit(from above) which manifests a soul(below). Where "soul" is also a homophone of 'sole' meaning at the foot, i.e. the below part.

Perhaps in this proposition the soul would ultimately return to its original counterpart although it is not precisely certain when this may occur. This also appears to render this 'illusion' as less about individual distinct identities(or entities) and more about the countless individual 'perspectives' of the primordial itself.

On time: time is real; time is change time is movement, and without it nothing ever changes or moves.
