Subjectivity

Is the brain capable of understanding itself?

So I say, we are conscious beings, and I can't imagine a universe without consciousness. Is this because I am a conscious being? Maybe being a conscious being isn't all that great, it just seems great because I am a conscious being.

We have to look with a subjective eye. If we look at planets and say, that isn't ugly, or that isn't pretty, because it is all objective, what do we have? Is that how the universe is?

Subjectivity comes from human or animal experience, through pleasure and pain. So we say, something is good, because it brings us pleasure. But things that bring us pleasure, they just bring us pleasure because of our biological evolutionary development. We like the sun, because it allows us to see, and it is warm, and warm is nice, because when we are warm are body doesn't have to work as hard to keep the right temperature.

But we all evolve differently and grow up differently, so what we like all depends on the wonderful chemical dopamine.

If we didn't have consciousness, we wouldn't understand what fun or pain is. What does it mean to experience something, but not hate the experience? Or to like the experience? It comes down to free will. Given the choice between two experiences, we choose the fun experience. Understanding this comes down to choices.

Except that if you are not conscious, you cannot understand much of anything.

Is the universe objective?

What is the point of the universe?

The universe is about teaching. Through evolution, pleasure and pain evolved, and your connection to fellow souls is weakened. So, the point is to bring about unity, while still being separate. To go for the well-being of the many over the well-being of just you.

Spirits Come Before Truth

So I am going to take some time off from writing my book for some of my spiritual musings.

I am just making this up. It may or may not be true.

In the beginning, there was nothing but consciousness and awareness. There was no physical world. Just a massive being that just was, and knew that it was, and had the power to create. This being is God.

There was no inherent truth. There were no facts. There were no lies. There was no fiction. Nothing but infinite possibilities.

Since the being had the power to create, it made a decision. Because it could do that. It can create ideas. This is a being of creation. The decision it made was to split.

So it split into a bazillion little specks of consciousness. And this is the only truth there is. That the massive being split into a bazillion little specks of consciousness. Each speck is a soul. Each speck contains the powers of God.

Each speck by itself is a god. But they are all separate and feel each other's absence. So they create the physical world, to forge a different way to connect.

By themselves, there is no inherent truth. Each soul creates its own truth. But together, they must make agreements to share a reality. There is no physical world in the absence of awareness. Nothing exists in the absence of awareness.

There is no linear time. But things are not static.

The spirits made agreements to share a reality. And concepts were shared. Everything was shared, to bring each other closer, to be separate yet together in the physical realm.

All truth is created by spirits. Spirits create truth.

Separate specks of consciousness unite to make a shared consciousness. They cycle through ideas. Truth isn't important. It is the effect that these ideas have on consciousness.
