A drop of water will sooner or later merge into the creek.
The creek will merge into the river and the river will merge into the big ocean.
A cell is composed of matter and consciousness.
This consciousness can be tiny as much as you want but nevertheless there is a minute tiny amount of consciousness.
Quote:I'm guessing this relates to the Yogi and Hindu world view that the universe and everything in it is a manifestation of Ultimate Reality which is conscious.
I rather would say...........supreme consciousness or the cosmic consciousness.
Quote:This Ultimate Reality consciousness wouldn't be anything like our tiny, limited human consciousness, though.
You are correct in saying.........LIMITED consciousness but as far as the differences between us humans and God is all about a consciousness that is dormant or latent and a consciousness that is fully aware as in God case.
Little Rik Wrote:If we follow this line of thinking then we also have to consider what happen when our body die.
Will our consciousness die when our body die or will carry on and merge into what our feelings wish to take us?
Why would our consciousness die when as we can see in nature nothing die?
The small always merge into the big so to me it is totally UNSCIENTIFIC to say that with the physical death everything die.
Quote:Let's say Ultimate Reality really is conscious for the purpose of this discussion.
1) Ultimate Reality has manifested me as a body with a brain. My personal consciousness is a product of my brain. When my brain dies it will no longer produce my personal consciousness.
That is your guessing which i don't agree with.
Quote:2) It's logical to assume that a conscious Ultimate Reality would retain the information gained by manifesting as me throughout my lifetime. This information would, of course, be part of Ultimate Reality so I would no longer exist as a little, individual entity.
My believe is that when you will be ready you will merge in this ocean of cosmic consciousness.
You were that entity before and you will go back in it.
But to be ready you will have to create a parallelism between you and the cosmic consciousness
so there will not be any more differences among the two.
Quote:3) Everything in Nature gets recycled so Ultimate Reality could recycle my character and personality traits by manifesting a different body and brain. This new brain wouldn't produce me, of course - it would be a different person.
All the matter get recycle so your body will also get recycle but the consciousness will not.
The only differences that the consciousness will produce is related to getting more or less aware.
Aware of who we really are.
