Unified Field Of Consciousness

“And what we’ve discovered at the core basis of the universe, the foundation of the universe, is a single unified field of intelligence; a field that unites gravity with electromagnetism, light with radioactivity, with the nuclear force. So that all the forces of nature and all the so-called particles of nature – quarks, leptons, protons, neutrons – are now understood to be one. They’re all just different ripples on a single ocean of existence that is the unified field… And that field is a non-material field. It is ultimately a field of consciousness and everything in the universe is nothing but that. Planets, trees, people, animals – we’re all just waves of vibration of this underlying, unified, superstring field…” –John Hagelin, particle physicist

The Media Is Responsible For Darkness

The media is responsible for painting the image of the world we carry around in our heads. This image is dark and entirely negative. Who is so oblivious that he or she cannot understand how damaging this is to the psyche of every human on the planet?

 We see the world in the image in which it is painted, a place of constant horror and yet the planet is a wondrous place where bright light shines everywhere, where amazing things are accomplished by ordinary people everyday, everywhere; where so many are trying to change the world for the better and yet the media almost completely ignores these inspiring stories. As a consequence our reality is entirely unbalanced and the world directly reflects our biased view of it. 

This is a crime against humanity, an abrogation of consciousness, morality, duty, intelligence and principle. How much further down the road to peace might we have been with a more positive mindset? How much less poverty, famine and avoidable disease might there have been had we focused our energies in those directions instead of war, rape, crime, corruption and so on?

There are those who profit from engineered chaos and destruction. Suffering is there passport to untold wealth and control and the media is a compliant tool in their horrendous ambition. Those within the media who wittingly or unwittingly propagate this distorted vision of the world must wake up and understand the key role and absolute duty they have to rectify this nightmarish imbalance in our perception of reality. They have a moral obligation to use their power constructively as do we all. Currently they are failing miserably in this respect. It is the sacred duty of everyone no matter who they are to ensure that  they play their part in making  our world better today than it was yesterday.

Consciousness of water and plants

If animals and plants are largely made of water and water is conscious then everything that contains water has consciousness!

Thus consciousness is embedded in the molecules that make up the universe. To me this makes sense as I do not see how anything can be created unless the building blocks are aware of their function in construction or for that matter destruction.

A state of unconscious chaos can only create more unconscious chaos since it has no awareness of itself and therefore no capacity to structure itself into an orderly state
of any kind. A state of unconscious chaos would have to have awareness of itself to exist and since it has no such consciousness it cannot exist.

Creation v evolution

Whether you are a creationist or evolutionists it is self evident that evolution is a necessity for the expansion of life. No doubt science can explain much of the process but certainly not all. How for example did life organise itself into an interconnected, interdependent, self balancing chain? How did cells decide that they should evolve into specific organs, skeletons and species and so on? Unproven assumptions are made by both evolutionists and creationists based on the observable world i.e. we started as single cells which over a period of time developed organs, skeletons, legs, arms, wings ad infinitum. No one however has ever convincingly explained how.

I've watched a lot of David Attenbrough programs on the natural world and we are asked simply to "accept" that these steps occurred without any proof or explanation as to how! This however does not lend more or less support to either the creationist or evolutionists camps. It simply leaves a gap in our understanding.

It is because science cannot answer all the questions that philosophers come into their own. They go into realms that science by it's very nature cannot. Science studies the world through microscopes rather like a mechanic trying to work out how a machine functions or not as the case may be. He is not concerned with who made the rocks from which the metals were made or the fossils from which the plastics and fuel were derived. He is concerned only about how the engine functions. He is in fact analysing a creation that has evolved from brimstone and fire so to speak.

That is what scientists do. They analyse a creation that exists. One cannot study the inexistent. If that creation is the manifestation of an intelligent consciousness and they cannot prove that it is not, then they are studying the work of it's creator.

If on the other hand the creation is a freak random accident with no purpose or logic doomed to extinction, then life is a pointless exercise in futility, as is evolution and all the suffering and rare joy that it entails. It is all for nothing and that includes the science behind it. Why bother to evolve? Why bother to understand? Why suffer? None of it has any purpose. That is an intolerable and senseless state in which there are no consequences for right or wrong. What does it matter whether we destroy ourselves and the world, whether we rape, pillage or murder? The end result would be the same whether we make peace, love and build or make war, hate and destroy! Is that believable? Is that more believable than the opposite state where right and wrong matter and everything has purpose and consequence? The answer is there for all to see.

We now know thanks to quantum physics that because everything including ourselves is made of exactly the same matter, the entire universe and ourselves are part of a unified entity. Could the universe function in an orderly and balanced way, if everything was separate and disconnected from everything else. The answer has to be absolutely impossible. Thus there IS purpose in the design without which it could not function. That purpose is reflected in everything we see including and especially evolution.

The purpose of evolution is to attain perfection. Compare the first automobile with today's design or the first flying machine with Concorde. Compare the first organisms with the complex life forms we now see. Compare the ignorance of stone age humanity with the growing enlightenment of modern beings. In the face of the overwhelming evidence that surrounds us one cannot but conclude that life is filled with purpose and that there is a right way and a wrong way, the consequences of which are clearly visible.

The only possible conclusion is that the universe is a conscious entity. This is becoming clearer with experiments showing consciousness in plants and even water. Everything is conscious at some level. As already stated it is impossible to see how the universe could function without being self conscious. Indeed this universal consciousness must be an evolving entity because everything is a reflection of its own nature. What we see around us is the evidence of it's own truth. To pretend that that which we witness all around us is other than it is, is the greatest deception of all.

I therefore see no conflict between evolution and creationism. They are one and the same thing. Evolution is the result of struggle without which universal life would inevitably stagnate and wither. Through struggle life adapts and becomes stronger. Thus there is purpose in struggle and thus there is purpose in life. Our universe is flourishing and expanding as it must in order to survive. This is not a freak random phenomenon that came from nothing (scientifically impossible) that will end in nothing. There never was nothing and there will never be nothing. Out of nothing, nothing can come.

More thoughts on consciousness

Many experiments have been carried out that indicate plant consciousness. It has also been observed in water. This suggests that everything possesses consciousness at some level which in turn indicates that the entire universe is a conscious entity. Indeed I do not see how it could function without a connective and/or collective consciousness.

Everything derives from energy. We are energy. Energy is the source of creation. The laws of physics are what give order to the universe. These laws are in-built into the sub-atomic particles that make up the universe. These particles must therefore contain consciousness.

The nature of reality?

I came across this statement in an email.


"Everything you experience in life, every event, occurrence, object, person –
is nothing more than a figment of your own thoughts, beliefs and words".

My thoughts on this concept of reality are the following:

Whilst there is much debate about the true nature of reality the above I am certain is some way off the mark. If you think about it logically, the idea that everything you experience is a figment of one's own thoughts is ludicrous. Much happens in life that one could never imagine and therefore one could not have thought into your own reality. Why would one seek famine, torture, rape, poverty, war and so on? If it were my choice I would live in paradise surrounded by joy and happiness.

However that is not the reality we perceive which is more often than not a tapestry of many colours and emotions, some of which are those we choose whilst others are diametrically opposed. Therefore if anything, we experience a combination of our own reality  intermingled with that of others. It could not possibly be otherwise since everything is inter-connected.

We therefore must experience a collective reality which in extreme cases collides with and even overruns our individual thoughts or desires. In other words our "reality" often conflicts with that of others. For example Hitler's reality massively affected the collective reality. I did not dream up or wish this abomination upon myself or anybody else. Nor did I "invent" Gadaffi, Saddam Hussein, Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin or any other vile dictator. Nevertheless we all experienced their twisted visions. The same could be said of many positive experiences. These are equally overlaid with the imprint of universal consciousness of which my thoughts are a minute part.

Most ordinary mortals/souls desire love, peace and harmony. When the opposite realities of such ego-maniacs collide with ours a battle of wills ensues and the dream turns into a nightmare. We experience both states whether we want to or not. This could not be clearer.

The input of both negative and positive energy constantly affects  the overall frequency of universal consciousness which is possibly what forms the reality we experience. No thought or mind is an island unto itself. How could it be? The idea that your reality is "nothing more than a figment of your own thoughts" is clearly a flawed one and serves only to confuse rather than enlighten us as to the true nature of reality and the entity we call God.

What do you think?

Searching for the nature of God

The next big question that needs resolving is the nature or form of the creator. I do not pretend to know who or what God is. I claim only to have reflected upon the question deeply for almost longer than I care to remember. The following are therefore merely my reflections in written form.

The image of a wise old man with a white beard in the sky is of a God made in our image. That is highly improbable as as I am sure most would agree. Therefore if there is a God we must search for a more plausible understanding that somehow ties in with the reality we perceive and our limited understanding of science as well as the insights of ancient and modern mystics.

In brief the only answer I can come up with is that the universe and everything in it is derived from a source of energy. Without it nothing would exist. I have to believe if there were a God he/she/it would have to be in some way, shape or form a source of energy, perhaps the source of energy from which everything emerged. If this were so this source or force would have to be conscious and intelligent, perhaps the source of all consciousness. This energy the source of consciousness would be the driving force of everything both visible and invisible. From it would emerge all the forces that combine to create the visible and invisible universe. Einstein said that if there are laws (of physics) then logically there must be a law maker. These laws are encoded in the molecules that make up the universe and everything in it.

The universe is itself illusory. The molecules from which everything is made are 99% empty space yet the objects we see appear solid. Scientists tell us that if the solid matter contained in every human on Earth were collected and combined it would be no larger than a sugar cube! These are mind boggling facts that are almost beyond our comprehension. In essence we see objectivity where in reality there is only empty space. It's almost as though someone or something has painted a picture on a blank canvas; only the canvas is emptiness. I have never seen a painting materialise out of thin air. A painting requires an artist and his paints. Furthermore the artist must possess a consciousness that enables him or her to envisage the image he wishes to create. Above all he needs energy to undertake his task. This is I think a good analogy because it encompasses the necessary functions of the creative process.

For it to work though we need some evidence of the nature of consciousness. What is it? Is it a function of the mind or is it an external force that is visibly imbued in the fabric of the universe itself? To try and answer this question I have read up on experiments that indicate that plants and water possess consciousness. Plants, it is claimed have a higher level of conscious than some lower levels of insects and animals. Like plants, water apparently responds consciously to positive and negative frequency stimulation as do we humans. Interestingly we are ourselves largely composed of water as are plants. If this is true then there is a strong possibility we will discover consciousness at some level everywhere and in everything in the universe. Indeed the entire universe may well be a conscious entity. It is therefore not beyond the bounds of reason that the universe is a manifestation of consciousness and that consciousness is what we call God. As we are discovering, everything appears to be interconnected to everything else. This interconnection indicates that there is no objective separation of galaxies planets, plants or other elements such as water or ourselves. In which case the whole universe is an active and reactive single conscious entity where everything is connected to everything else.

In other word the entire universe is the manifestation of it's creator, the entity or force we call "God".

This explanation of the nature and form of God is I believe one that is believable. It is that of the artist, the grand designer rather than one occupied by the petty detail of our personal lives. It is nevertheless no less comforting because I do believe the words, "God is love" is at the heart of this consciousness. There is a good argument to be made for this hypothesis but that must be for another time. Suffice it to say that when one acts out of love the world becomes a much brighter place. There is enormous comfort and hope in this vision of God. If we follow the path of enlightened love we can raise our levels of consciousness and become part of the blissful and boundless joy that such a state can bring. If not we walk blindly and joylessly  on a path of darkness. These appear to be self evident,  fundamental, eternal  and inescapable truths, the only real truths that really exist. This is the truth of God in my humble view.

Lastly, I have never believed that the universe spontaneously self combusted into existence from a state of nothingness. A state of nothingness is a contradiction in terms. If it existed it would be something. It is therefore an impossibllity. This being the case there can never have been a beginning nor can there be an ending. There is just an eternal state of being and this state of being is in constant evolution. This concept defies the understanding of science which must have a beginning and an end to everything and that is why science continually finds itself going down blind alleys. They have as yet failed to understand that if God exists he/she/it is the science they study. If this is right, God is the ultimate law maker, the artist par excellence.

Looking for consciousness

The brain like a computer or a combustion engine is a machine. You can analyse the function of a machine till the cows come home looking for consciousness and you will find nothing but the machine. Feed enough data into a computer and it will design you a car. Of course that does not mean it is conscious. In this context therefore Dennett  the philospher is right when he says there is no such thing as consciousness but only because he's looking for shoes in a butcher's shop! Consciousness is not found in function but in emotion. Consciousness is in being and being is in every molecule in the universe the whole of which is a conscious entity. Consciousness is present everywhere and in everything. Google "plant consciousness experiments" and astonish yourself. When you have finished go to YouTube and look at the "consciousness of water" videos.

Understanding Consciousness

The multiverse is a sentient organism. Everything in it is therefore necessarily conscious at some level, be it mineral, vegetable or animal. This understanding of the Consciousness of everything is an amazing breakthrough in our understanding of the reality in which we exist.

Understanding this changes the way we treat each other, the world and everything in it. It changes the way we lead our lives and enhances greatly the value we place on what really matters. It raises our spiritual Consciousness and that is what changes the world.

Peace, justice and equality can only be achieved by a shift in our consciousness and understanding of the nature of the universe. An unconscious mind is blind, callous, greedy, materialistic and ego-centric. It is the world we live in today, a world that manifests all these characteristics with the consequences we see all around us.

You owe it to yourself to raise your understanding of the extraordinary truth and nature of the reality of our connected existence. The answers are right there before our very eyes in the wonders that surround us.
