After Skreeworld spent a year on materialist approach to consiousness I find an idea that could invert my entire outlook and belief system. We only know one thing for sure. That we are aware. Consiousness. All other things we gather through this. Being. Our existence and our awareness of our existence is all that can be said to be true.
For all my speculation on how meat can think, how matter, physical, material, can create consiousness. Something immaterial. Despite our top neuroscientists still not having a clue how this can happen I kept believing it would be discovered.
The double slit experiment. Quantum mechanics. How a consious observer alters reality. A clue.
We don't know what the fuck time is yet regard it as a given. Space, what is the universe made of, we haven't a clue. The deeper we look the more it slips away. We imagine particles as a metaphor knowing these coppositional bits must have substance, then when this fails we imagine another metaphor, waves.
Isn't it wiser to begin again. We know we are consious. Is it not more likely that consiousness creates matter rather than matter creates consiousness? At least there exists a foundation of a truth, our knowing of our being. We know our senses show not reality, more a map or a workable model to enable us to negotiate physicality. Platos cave. We see a metaphor, not what is there.
Consiousness may be the essential. Not fantastical concepts beyond anyone's grasp like matter, time, space.
Isn't it more likely an awareness of self is a more likely starting point than a Big Bang? That the universe is developing consiousness. A growing awareness, creating matter as a map to explore itself? Whether consiousness is universal, and we, in our small ways, through experience, creating its growth. Because experience is the only thing we can say we know for sure. Materialism, my great experiment of some two years back, appears to be illusory. What is an atom? A molecule? An electron? All one can offer is a metaphor. A picture of spinning balls. Yet when we look closely it is nothing like that.
The paradigm I spoke of seems puny compared to this. To accept this you have to abandon ll materialist assumption and begin again with what we know. And all we know is we are aware.
Y This realisation is a total reversal of all I have previously advanced. The Skreeworld manifesto, to try find out, who, what and where I am starts here.
To be continued...
