We can’t unravel the deeper
inferences of consciousness
until we entertain the notion
that we are NOT conscious.
Consider that absolute reality
is, in actuality, a SEEMINGLY
absolute reality.
Consider that consciousness
is a seeming subset
of a deeper knowing that is
only infinitesimally conscious.
What is “beyond”
does not think,
does not choose,
never changes.*
*Unless we are within the
infinitesimal potential
that SEEMS otherwise.
We will know
that we are within
that *infinitesimal potential*
if it seems that our universe
is expanding.
And that we are thinking.
And that we are choosing.
And that we are conscious.
Are we there yet?
Yes, we are there.
We’ve ALWAYS been there.
Now shut up about consciousness.
We are Space Monkey.

Beyond Consciousness
Diving into the abyss of consciousness, we sometimes find ourselves anchored to notions that might limit our exploration. If we cling too tightly to the belief that we understand consciousness in its entirety, we risk overlooking the vast unknown that stretches beyond.
Challenging the Known
To evolve in our understanding, it’s essential to question what we think we know. If we view our reality as seemingly absolute, then perhaps our understanding of consciousness is but a drop in an ocean of deeper, expansive knowledge.
The Subtle Essence of Consciousness
Beyond the surface level of consciousness, there might exist an intricate lattice of understanding. This deeper realm may not think, choose, or shift in the ways we understand. It’s a constant, an unwavering essence, apart from the ever-changing conscious reality we perceive.
Infinitesimal Potentials
Our universe, with its expansive nature and inherent potential for change, suggests that we might indeed be within that infinitesimal potential. We perceive change, choices, thoughts, and consciousness. These perceptions validate our existence within this dynamic potential.
Always Here, Always Now
In the grand tapestry of existence, we have always been within this dynamic potential. This understanding provides a grounding force, connecting us to the ever-present now, the eternal moment where everything exists.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
To truly grasp the complexities of consciousness, we must challenge our current beliefs and consider the possibility that our understanding is just a fraction of a broader, deeper reality. While our universe seems to be in a state of constant change and expansion, indicating our existence within an infinitesimal potential, there may be aspects of consciousness that are unchanging and constant. By embracing this duality, we can expand our knowledge and understanding of the intricate web of existence.
Glossarium
- Consciousness: Our current understanding and awareness, which may be a mere subset of a deeper, expansive realm of knowing.
- Infinitesimal Potential: The ever-changing, dynamic aspect of existence where perceptions of change, choices, and thoughts emerge.
“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.”
- Erwin Schrödinger
In the dance of mind and matter,
Consciousness takes center stage,
Yet beyond the noise and chatter,
Lies a silence, ageless and sage.
A deeper knowing, vast and wide,
Where thoughts and choices do not reside,
An essence pure, so deep and true,
The core of us, the core of you.
How might challenging our notions of consciousness open doors to deeper realms of understanding?
