Question6.com: We, The People are NOT HAPPY
21 - The human consciousness
There is hope
What happens when we scratch a match? We don’t create light and heat. They existed long before we made matches. We are only giving light and heat an opportunity to manifest themselves in our material world. Love, light, life, consciousness, harmony, and many more are emanating from higher levels and can manifest in lower levels.
A ‘black box’ is made of two opposites. Everybody knows what goes in and out of the black box, but nobody knows what happens inside. Our most enormous black box is our sleep. It takes one-third of our life. Fortunately, the other black boxes are smaller. One of them is the TV set. We know how to use it, but we don’t know what is inside. There are technicians somewhere who know what happens inside, but they are not part of our lives. They gave us the box without any explanation.
The evolution of our computer is leading to another ‘Black box’. The result is AI. You can ask AI any question. You get an answer, but nobody knows how the computer arrived at it.
All our black boxes are pointing to the same human limitation. It is our limited consciousness. We may be surprised to learn what some people think of us. We are going through life being conscious of the minimum necessary to survive. Robots can produce movement and noise. We know that this is not enough to qualify as Life. There is a need for something more. What is it? Consciousness?
The same question applies to heat. We get blisters because we find heat where we did not expect it. Scientists say that heat is a form of energy transfer through the movement of particles. We expect something more. Shaking particles may be the mechanism by which heat is generated. That does not tell us what heat is. There is some mystery surrounding heat, just as there is with life.
Consciousness, as we know it, is a manifestation at the human level of a much more developed consciousness emanating from a higher level.
What is important is that our little match can start a big fire.
What happens after our death?
A scientist would say: “After your death, your body will be completely recycled. All your atoms will be used to make something else – rivers, plants, birds, microbes. Don’t worry. Nothing will be wasted. The world can continue without you.
Science represents one way of thinking. The molds may have a different perspective on life.
What we know about the molds is what happens to their bodies. Could something similar happen to our souls?
We can see that the bodies of many separate molds can be reunited. They merge into one body that can survive where individual cells cannot. Separate bodies themselves can merge into larger bodies. What Nature can do with bodies could also be done with souls. It would be even easier. We can imagine that after our death, many souls merge into a common master soul, and this master soul could achieve what is not possible for individual souls. The message we get from the molds is that uniting several elements makes progress easier.
We could go one step further and assume that the process is reversible. One master soul could be divided into many smaller souls. During our lifetime, each soul gets united with one human body and works on its improvement. At our death, the improved individual souls get reunited with an improved master soul.
This is nothing more than a clue, but it is a clue from nature itself.
