Are we all swimming in a "Cosmic Symphony of Thought?"
A Cosmic Symphony of Thought? Egads Mr. Carson ... where in Heavens name have you gone off to now?
So if you are no longer in the Grand Canyon with the lost Tribe ... where are off to now?
On Consciousness (Latin <= With + Knowing)
Years ago I played the trumpet however I could never excel at reading those tiny little notes very well, especially the ones with lots of tad pole tails on there ends. However I always got the highest ratings at state competitions yet continued to sit in second section in band. If I could hear it and feel it, I could play it.
I suppose that’s a lot like Jazz, either you can enter the “Zone’s Groove” where time stops as music plays through you or you can’t. Notes and music are like that, the former is a map while the latter is an experience. Some things are like that, they just seem to be on or off the mark. Ya just know it when ya feel it. So as notes can lead to music ... words can lead to amusing musings. But not if they are out of timing or out of tune.
Words are often times like that. The word “consciousness” does that to me. And like music, it’s not the note or word that doesn’t work; it’s where they are not showcased within the piece that prevents the resonant harmonics from singing true to its tune. The feeling is gone, missing, and kaput. And in its place - ringing out horrendously loud with out an ounce of embarrassment - clangs a solo in horrible resonant discord. I strongly suspect that if you have an ear for Jazz you also are very sensitive to the misuse and misplacement of words, like “consciousness.”
It’s not just that the words consciousness, intelligence or awareness don’t sound right; its not just that they don’t feel right. It’s that there is an inner knowing that says “For Gods sake Stop! This is horrible. Enough with the peddles, snare and high hat rattle. Let’s let silence usher in the next movement … and then allow the deep base to sneak in quietly and then slowly lead the way to the next movement.
For me, that is precisely what happens when ever I read how the word “consciousness” is used in a sentence. It is like having to grind you teeth while a single and out of tune flute ... drowns out an entire trumpet section while playing a march by John Phillips Sousa. It just doesn’t work. The misplacement of that word absolutely grinds, erupts and plays contrary to my inner sense of resonant placement and internal peace.
So, instead of dragging this issue out any further with additional left brain blather, I will just attempt to clarify what I am thinking, feeling and “dying in” through the muse of metaphor.
* Awareness - is the ability to see the dots.
* Curiosity - is wanting to see the dots.
* Courage - is having or being "of the heart" to leave the safe and known zone to seek out and find those damn dots.
* Intelligence - is the ability to create the maps by connect the dots.
* Consciousness - is exactly what Latin tells us it is, i.e. "With Knowing" ... consciousness is a three tiered library (i) conscious, ii) subconscious and iii) super consciousness) where all dotted maps of knowing are stored.
* Intuition - is knowing how to gain entry into and insight from the cosmic meta libraries that already exists.
- Potential - is a time-less, space-less landscape, i.e. the multidimensional canvas overlay where the Zero Point Field of all quantum realities awaits to seed infinite crops of realities.
That having been self-declared … (oh my … the power of this person's ego ;-) ) the questions that still inspire my wandering curiosity are:
“What is the universal "medium" ... the cosmic "ocean" ... the "unified field" ... within which all 4 forces (and perhaps a few others) of energy fields operate?” Are the super string forces a manifestation of the Awareness field? Could all that will ever be ... be contained with "Unified Field of Awareness" (UFA) ... The Matriarch's Meta Matrix of All?
Socrates rarely provided answers ... and was rewarded with Hemlock. People just don’t want questions with out answers. Its drives most mad or insane. For me - and from my OBE experiences - I am betting that i) Time-Space and the ii) Cosmic Energy of Awareness - and all of Her "Rarefacted Sub-Energy Prodigies" - are Primal and thus Meta Core to everything else we will ever discover.
Post Script:
The other night I had one of those really weird and out of this world dreams … or should I call it an experience? You know what I mean. We have all had them. It’s just that only old farts like me are willing to admit them in public. Anyway, the experientially “infused factoid” came to me that I ... had just had a “Pre-Cog” moment.
“A what?” you may ask. And again I would say, “Yes … I had a “Pre-Cog” moment!”
A “Pre-Cog moment” was when I realized someone else was thinking ‘my’ thoughts before me. So I ask you all - youthful cowards included - “Are we all swimming in a "Cosmic Symphony of Pre-Cog Thought?” Stomach that one for a while if you can. :-) :-) :-)
An amusing question isn’t it? And as Dr. Garry Schwartz and his professorial mentor's would say … amusing questions are the only ones worth our time.
Have a Great Thanksgiving.
