The new ‘you’ is meant to be you, with the same exact consciousness and memories, but is consciousness something that can be recreated just like the atoms of a body? If one were to clone someone’s body, and this body established its own consciousness containing all…
Consciousness (kinda) Humanity likes to put a face on things. We enjoy logos, patterns, and color schemes. We feel comforted by associations that remain constant. Familiarity makes for a comfortable existence. Anything mankind can’t visualize puts itself in a category of fear and discomfort. One could even argue that the electron microscope exists solely to aestheticize what ails mankind-- influenza, cancer, and the common cold now all have mugshots. CAT scans give an aesthetic to medicine and…
We are alive in the most exciting, interesting or perplexing time the history our Planet Earth has ever seen. We are both knowingly and unknowingly reacting to this time, yet many of us do not understand how the Path of Consciousness affects our emotional stability. Not only do we feel there is more to fear these days, but we are also sensitive to planetary energies that are shifting and changing as we evolve. Mix the different levels of information that we receive from the different pockets of…
The question of what consciousness is or what we can deem as to be conscious is most fiercely debated topic in this dissertation because its subjective nature; what you and I may consider to have its own consciousness may possibly or rather probably will be different, how then can we build a machine with its own conscience when we has humans still haven’t figured it what it even really means to be conscious. I think therefore I am This very famous statement written by French mathematician and…
ever closer to a reality in which we must coexist with intelligences of our own making. Many technological advances must be made before approaching that point, and we will not truly know the nature of this intelligence until after it has been created, however, we can begin the necessary conversations, legal, and societal reforms so humanity is prepared for when AI enters our lives. Consciousnesses is an metaphysical attribute that we assign ourselves, our fellow humans, and certain animals…
The mind can as it pertains to consciousness can be divided into cognitive and phenomenal experiences. Consciousness is expansive in meaning, but typically consists of the experiences someone feels, thinks, or it can also indicate the wakefulness of a person at any given moment in time (Zeman, 2001). Indeed, this broad definition has formed because of different viewpoints on how people actually come to experience consciousness. Ted (2014) shows a forum in which philosopher David Chalmers…
Consciousness, while a difficult area to study, provides insight into the workings of the empirical world, and ultimately what it means to be human. Questions of consciousness and thought have existed from as early as the Neolithic period, since the first humans inhabited earth, seen through spiritual rituals carried out during burials. However, it could be argued that creation, whether it is the scientific or Judeo-Christian definition, was the manifestation of consciousness, and therefore…
Perhaps the most daunting of tasks in all of human history- constructing a science of consciousness proves to challenge even the most brilliant of minds. This begs the question, why is this such a difficult task? For humans have made great strides in analyzing the objective world, why is this not the case subjective experiences? The answer to these questions lie not in a single axiom, but rather a conglomeration of established archetypes of how an empirical science is to be conducted- simply…
Higher Consciousness, Christ Consciousness and Jesus I received an email from a reader questioning people 's ability to connect with higher consciousness and claiming that I have yet to be mentored by the true God--Jesus Christ. "You claim to teach the secrets of the soul, success, "finding oneself," ascension, etc. I believe you 've left out an important step and have yet to be mentored by the true God; you only promote the self-god of new age. How can I tell? Because if you had met Him, you…
found?” “Why do we experience what we do?” “How do we know what I am seeing and experiencing is the same thing that you are experiencing?” And perhaps one of the biggest questions that has continued to stump thinkers from every discipline “What is Consciousness?” In medical terms it is roughly defined as “not being unconscious,” whereas in a general sense it has been defined as “being aware” or even just “being awake.” And while there have…
