Of course the universe is self aware - WE are that self awareness. It is expressed via us.

Re: Scientists Now Believe the Universe Itself May Be Conscious
What about other universes parallel to this one? Are they all conscious in their own right? And, above them, is the multi-verse conscious?

Or maybe some parallel universes are conscious while others aren't.

Re: Scientists Now Believe the Universe Itself May Be Conscious
I was thinking about this article omw to Church this morning.

Check out our Bible reading today:

Romans 8:19-23

"... for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed.

It was not for it's own purposes that creation had frustration imposed upon it, but for the purposes of him who imposed it,

with the intention that the whole creation itself might be freed of its slavery to decay and brought into the same glorious freedom as the children of God."

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74762152


Or maybe what is "parallel" are the universes we each individually generate and exist in through the act of our awareness that all super-impose themselves together to form what we call reality.

Re: Scientists Now Believe the Universe Itself May Be Conscious
According to Buddha, only sentient beings have all Six Elements (Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Space, and Consciousness); whereas inanimate objects do not have all six elements.
 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).
 Quoting: Asuralikeproduction


Buddhism distinguishes Consciousness differently than western philosophy.. Consciousness in buddhism is a temporary element that comes and goes, based on sensory experience - not the real you, something that the real you experiences temporarily... and not what we in the west usually consider "consciousness", the whole of our being. So don't mistake what the buddha said when comparing it to what these scientists are saying, as they are not talking about the same "consciousness".
 Quoting: RandomS


Well, in Buddhadharma we would have Citta or Chitta, Manas, Vijnana, Tathagatagarbha, Pabhassara; and, according to some schools, Pudgala and maybe even Atma or Atman.

Re: Scientists Now Believe the Universe Itself May Be Conscious
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.

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.

Re: Scientists Now Believe the Universe Itself May Be Conscious
If this is true then all things are conscious. Trees, houses, coffee cups etc...

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?
 Quoting: RuneMistress


Who says trees, houses, and coffee cups don't have language? Everything created has different levels of consciousness. Even a nail or a rock has consciousness. How do we know they don't talk to each other? We humans are so arrogant it's pitiful.

The universe is created, but they want you to believe it is the creator
As such pagan priests calling themselves scientists are just giving you their known religion under the guise of science
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69160624



For all the insistence that the universe is separate from God, there is a fatal flaw in the argument:

If God was all that existed and then he created the universe, then by logical necessity, he created it out of himself because there was nothing else to use.
