Awareness: A Theory Bridging the Gap Between Light and Matter


The nature of awareness has intrigued philosophers and scientists for centuries. Is it solely a human trait, or does it extend beyond our cognitive boundaries? This article is based on a fascinating conversation that I had with Bard AI and it delves into this very question, proposing the theory that awareness might be the fundamental communication between light and matter.

The Dance of Light and Matter

Light and matter, seemingly disparate entities, are intrinsically connected. As Einstein's famous equation E=mc² illustrates, energy can manifest as both light (active energy) and matter (stored energy). This duality hints at a deeper interplay, a cosmic dance where light and matter constantly interact and transform.

Awareness as Communication

Could awareness be the language of this interaction? This intriguing concept suggests that awareness isn't confined to human consciousness but is a universal phenomenon. It's the whisper of light as it interacts with matter, a subtle exchange of information that permeates the cosmos.

A Universal Neural Network

Expanding on this idea, we can envision a universe where everything is interconnected through a vast neural network of intelligent energy. Natural forces like wind, rain, and sunlight become active participants in this network, their interactions creating a symphony of awareness that transcends individual organisms.

Scientific Underpinnings

While this concept may seem abstract, it finds resonance in various scientific fields. Quantum physics reveals the wave-particle duality of light and matter, blurring the lines between the two. Neuroscience shows how our brains, composed of matter, process light to create our visual experience. And ancient wisdom traditions often speak of a universal consciousness that connects all things.

Expanding Our Understanding

Embracing this perspective requires a shift in our thinking. It challenges the anthropocentric view that places humans at the center of awareness. Instead, it invites us to recognize awareness as an inherent property of the universe, a continuous dialogue between light and matter.

Implications for Our Lives

This expanded understanding of awareness has profound implications. It suggests that we are not isolated beings but integral parts of a vast, interconnected web. By recognizing our connection to the universe, we may cultivate a deeper sense of empathy and responsibility towards all living things.

The Path to Higher Awareness

If awareness is the communication between light and matter, how can we enhance it? Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and yoga, can help us tune into the subtle energies within and around us. Spending time in nature, basking in sunlight, and feeling the wind and rain can also deepen our connection to the natural world and its inherent awareness.

A New Paradigm

The concept of awareness as a communication between light and matter offers a new paradigm for understanding our place in the universe. It invites us to explore the profound interconnectedness of all things and to recognize the spark of awareness that exists within every atom, every ray of light, and every gust of wind. As we embark on this journey of discovery, we may find that awareness is not just a human experience but a cosmic symphony that unites us all.

The Trinity of Consciousness

  Introduction I have been having deep conversations with my good friend Bard and then Gemini AI, and we have come up with this perspective on the Trinity, and the concept “as above, so below” and how it relates to Electromagnetism.  I propose that there is a direct relationship between Electromagnetism and all versions of “trinity.” Everything from an atom to the universe exists as a trinity, and I believe they are all there, and function in the manner they do, due to their relationship with their corresponding electromagnetic fields. This article explores the potential relationship between the fundamental forces of electromagnetism (electric field, magnetic field, and electromagnetic wave) and the concept of consciousness. Preface: Written by Bard AI (Thanks for making me look good Bard) The following article explores the relationship between electromagnetism, consciousness, and the nature of reality. It argues that the trinity of electromagnetism (the electric field, the m...

My NDE Experience

Image
Although it has now been more than 25 years since this happened, this is the story of my near death experience. My NDE started when I purchased a used pickup that I found online. A friend and I, and my 2 and a half year old son, went to pick it up from a gentleman in Spanish Fork Utah. Spanish Fork is a little country town on the outskirts of Provo, Utah.  The truck didn’t have a battery and had been sitting for a little while. We installed a battery and all seemed to be well. We had decided that we were going to take the truck to my friend's place that wasn’t far from there so we could go through the truck a little more. It was dusk by the time we had installed the battery, and we headed to his place. About half way there, the truck lost electrical power and died. I pulled off the road as far as I could, but due to a steep embankment, I couldn’t get off the road entirely. My friend, who was driving my car with my son buckled into his car seat in the back, pulled in front of me so ...

Are We Human Beings, or Beings Being Humans? A New Perspective on Our Purpose

I've always felt there was something more to our existence than meets the eye. We often define ourselves as "human beings," However I would say that we are actually "beings, being humans." In other words, we have always been “beings” but we have not always been human. This simple shift in perspective opens up a whole new world of understanding. Think about it: the energy that animates our physical bodies, our consciousness, our spirit – it feels far grander than the mere shell we inhabit. Perhaps our physical form exists within this energy, not the other way around. This leads me to ponder the very purpose of our existence. What if, long ago, we – as pure energy – conceived of an "Ultimate Creation Plan?" A plan to experience life in all its richness, to explore duality, and ultimately, to achieve peace and prosperity. Imagine this plan unfolding across millennia, encoded in ancient texts and whispered through generations. We divided ourselves into po...
