Are you aware of the consciousness of child and adult?
Sure?
You should have been through both, with an interlude for the hormone based semi-consciousness of adolescence. What is happening in the search for mind bigger than Marvin the paranoid android? Is a global meme based consensus of awareness emerging in the age of a connected humanity? It has the feel of a hive in cyber-world. Is outsider mentality now part of entertainment for the mainstream cyber-space consumer? Will the requirement for diversity introduce or dull us to potential differences? Is an experiential facet, lacking current means of direct expression emerging independently of altered entheogen induced states? I want a mind I can upgrade and offer memory models and generally have all that Neo and the Matrix offer … Atheism and mechanistic science has found no internal or external evidence of consciousness independent of biological processing.
Surprised? Me not!
Will science expand and perhaps offer new opportunities to those lacking an experience that transcends existing limitations? Or are the intellectual weaklings going to continue a debate with religious bigots, the terminally indoctrinated and others whose spiritual fragility has no place in a mature spirituality.
Parody religions, such as the Church of the Sub genius, the Flying spaghetti monster or my own Cecil the Ultimate Deity (an Open Source deity), rightly ridicule the obsessively infantile, superstitious legacy. There now exists new personal looping, ritual reinforcement of preferred traits used in modern magical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psycho drama etc. Do such methods reinforce the strengths and weakness of a partial development? Do we await the new shaman? The possibility of effecting mind through electro magnetic feedback and other games of science? Oh what fun. The oldest intelligence may be nothing more than a field of awareness. The search for the God particle, beyond the Higgs Field, may reveal that gods exist and this consciousness is amoral or partial, dependent on how it arises and expresses itself. What sort of gods are out there? Well there is us in the future or our trans-human descendants. Humanity will be joining any global, universal and multi-dimensional consciousness it comes into contact with. Well maybe not the Borg. Will humanity have a choice? Human measurement is entangled with our linear development. The scatter brain or attention deficit consciousness evolving in the Internet, is a potential for awareness through integration with a more global networked thinking. Favouring the individual in its relationship to the global social network. I am ready to look for, create or join existing gods. How about you? Gonna stick with Nothing?
Dear Friends of all Sentients
In the magical quantum universe the Universe is alive or at least tangled with a living consciousness. We move towards creating AI and finding ways to create virtual heaven and hells. Who will be allowed into the past to copy the consciousness signal and entangle it into a reality they judge appropriate? As the religious nerds find ways to empower a spiritual singularity, how far beyond infinity will it encompass and merge? At long last humanity will be able to invent a deity transcending its limits. Who will be left to crop circles or remain unplugged to the enlightenment?
