Anonymous Coward User ID: 67511492 United States 07/16/2017 12:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A new scientific concept has recently come to light, which scientists are calling “panpsychism.” Panpsychism says that the universe could be capable of consciousness, which could change everything. Quoting: Hawk-02 For quite some time, scientists have been working to understand the universe, where it came from, and why we are here. However, they have often come up short until now. The scientist responsible for such a notion is Gregory Matloff, and his ideas are shocking, to say the least. According to Matloff, a physicist at New York City College of Technology, in his recently published paper, humans could be like the rest of the universe, in substance and in spirit. Futurism reported that a “proto-consciousness field” could extend throughout all space. Basically, in lamens terms, the entire cosmos could be self-aware. [link to awarenessact.com] Jesus said that if men would not praise Him, even the rocks would cry out in praise of Him. So, yes, matter has some sort of response to its creator. |

Panpsychism can also be seen in ancient philosophies such as Stoicism, Taoism, Vedanta and Mahayana Buddhism. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Conscious-Intelligence that pervades the entire Universe and is imbued in all stuff of the Universe. (which is the reason why it it all one Big Computer) and, yes, this too, like everything else, is just more Mere Phenomenoa. there is no need to call it "God", or any of that kind of sentimental stuff. . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75229439 United Kingdom 07/16/2017 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Universe is just part of a MultiVerse which lies beyond our comprehension and totally outside any frame of reference humans and Quantum Physicists (pretend to) have. Any aparent consciousness is just interactions. Richard Feynman described observation at the Quantum level like someone working out the game of chess while only being able to observe one small section of the board; watching pieces popping in and out of view (existence) moving in certain odd patterns. Most Scientists are full of ego and often full of bullshit proven by the number who purport to be climate experts when their field of expertise has nothing to do with the subject. All too many suffer from the disease of narrow-minded group think. |

Quoting: Asuralikeproduction In other words, any consciousness apparently observed in inanimate objects is actually your own consciousness, and not the consciousness of the observed inanimate object (because again, inanimate objects do not have consciousness).

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75224437 United States 07/16/2017 02:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I enjoy when atheist scientists/physicists (not saying necessarily that these guys are) end up with results that prove God exists. Eventually they will all hit that wall where their self induced bullshit falls apart. Quoting: Jizzer just in: Godtards Declare that Science Has Found GOD !!! . One needs to define "God". If I say "God" is the carpet on my floor, well then, God exists. |
Asuralikeproduction User ID: 71494521 United States 07/16/2017 02:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75231814 Only sentient beings have this (and perhaps you're already aware of this AC 75231814), not 'the universe'. An example: Buddhas see water as light, humans see water as water, devas see water as nectar, asuras see water as something between water and nectar, animals see water as merely something to drink, hungry ghosts or pretas see water as pus or other dirty things, and hell beings see water as painful things like ice or fire (depending on if they're experiencing the hot hells or cold hells). The water is not consciously transforming itself into these various things; it is dependent on the consciousness of the observer. Last Edited by Asuralikeproduction on 07/16/2017 02:41 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72615888 United States 07/16/2017 02:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If this is true then all things are conscious. Trees, houses, coffee cups etc... Quoting: RuneMistress Science also tells us that our language informs our thinking and not the other way around. So if trees and houses and coffee cups don't have language... what the hell are they thinking about? Language informs or programs and simplifies, but it is just one layer and not dominant. We all still contribute wordlessly to this projection of reality in concert with everything else. And styro cups are very very dumb almost not there, paper coffee cups are more conscious, but still very very dumb. |

Quoting: Master of Nothing They don't have answers for the unseen. Science is and has been missing the spiritual aspect of our reality. At least some scientists are coming around and saying what we already knew. The scientists are reaching the summit of their mountain and they are finding an ancient sitting at the top.
