Quote:80.20 Questioner: Sorry about that. Can you tell me what the twentieth archetype would be?

Ra: I am Ra. That which you call the Sarcophagus in your system may be seen to be the material world, if you will. This material world is transformed by the spirit into that which is infinite and eternal. The infinity of the spirit is an even greater realization than the infinity of consciousness, for consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly. There are many things which fall away in the many, many steps of adepthood. We, of Ra, still walk these steps and praise the One Infinite Creator at each transformation.

Quote:"The Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator has only one important statement. That statement, my friends, as you know, is “All things, all of life, all of the creation is part of one original thought.”" - Law of One 1.0

When this is combined with Einstein's E=MC^2 we can say that all matter and energy only exists in a definite state when there is a conscious observer.

In more simple terms, physical reality is dependent on conscious observation to exist, and the only way that can be true is if consciousness exists outside of physical reality.

Whether matter and energy are derivation of consciousness is unknown. Consciousness could be creating matter and energy, or it could simply be arranging something that is already there. There are other possibilities as well. Frankly we aren't in a position to ever have true knowledge of this as near as I can tell. Not in 3rd density anyways. I think this is more the work of 5th density.

To add to your post I must say that QM nowhere directly suggests that it is conscious obeserver that collapses wavefunction since you can't derive such statement only from bottom-up (inductive) theory which QM is. Although I agree with you on this point, the top-bottom (deductive) thinking is required to arrive to it. We can view state collapse as a function of horizontal particle interaction where even from the viewpoint of single fundamental particle the moment of interaction with another particle will create a brief moment of near-definitive information about it. Now we can ask ourself what we are, and if we define ourself as a nervous signal (which is good but less than accurate contemplative position), we must already admit that we are agglomerate of elementary particles and interactions between them. So at this point we can factor our conscious aspect and infer that if the cluster of building blocks has such aspect, then it must be something innate to every smallest part of it. Thus, everything is consciousness.

So no matter what, animals, stones, plants, all are made of consciousness. And are consciousness.
The difference as I see is in the vibrational level. The slower (lower?) the vibration, the more inert and less conscious the object seems (like stones or rock for example)
Is there a direct link between consciousness and vibrational level? the higher vibrating, the more consciousness one imbues? (and if ones equals consciousness with god, or the source, then the more "godlike" the higher vibrating being would become....)
We all heard the stories about Eastern masters, who raised their vibrations to infinitesimal levels and "traveled on the wind", worked miracles and were in two places at one, to name but a few things.
That to my unscientific mind is vibrating almost at the speed of light.
Hard to explain what I mean here, I hope you get the gist of it

Quote:The mind of man is not created so that it is isolated. It is created to be in contact with all consciousness at all times. It is possible through understanding, which is not intellectual in form, to realize the single truth that allows man of Earth to remove this limitation or separation from the infinite mind.

Quote:However, it is quite possible to insulate one’s consciousness from these infringements of thought and realize the truth of one’s origin. The one known to you as Jesus was able to do this. Do not believe that this man was unique in his ability. He was demonstrating to you that this was possible. He was demonstrating that each of the Father’s children could do the same thing that He did. It is only necessary that you meditate to realize this, and then it is only necessary that you demonstrate your knowledge of it through your thoughts and your actions.

Quote:There are people in this universe. They are infinite. They do many things. They speak to you. You listen. They come to you. Into your consciousness come thoughts. What comes into your consciousness is what you desire. You are limited because of your desire to be limited. Everything that you think is possible, if you desire it. Many things have occurred.

My proposal is that reality is the difference between everything and nothing. And consciousness is that difference being aware of the infinite expansion of itself. So there can be awareness of something and there can also be awareness of nothing like in deep dreamless sleep and in anesthesia during for example surgery.

Quote:Consciousness (lat. conscientia, συναίσθησις, synaisthesis, "co-perception" and φρόνησις skrt. चित् Chit) is based, according to Rudolf Steiner, "not on the fact that a being shows a certain counter-effect to an effect, but that the being experiences something in its inner being which is added to the mere counter-effect as a new thing." (Lit.:GA 13, p. 59f) According to the anthroposophical view, consciousness unfolds and develops in a sequence of seven stages of consciousness, of which our present earthly waking consciousness represents the fourth and middle stage. If consciousness sinks below the level of dream consciousness, one commonly speaks of a state of unconsciousness. Nevertheless, dull degrees of consciousness are still present.

The more I am understanding the new consensus that is evolving. I also have an interest in Shinto, and the basic concept is, "Everything" that is a lifeform is "Consciousness". At one time I even believed that inanimate objects such as rock had some form of self-awareness, although I now question that theory. There are those who are now saying, that an operating system, such as a solar system could have a form of consciousness, (not to be confused as a single rock or mountain). The entity of consciousness incorporating the solar system as a whole. Then we take it to the next stage of the galaxy, and then the universe. I watched a video on YouTube last night that speculated that fact. I believe a tree has some form of self-awareness, (although not as we know it). We only have self-awareness from the five senses. A tree does not have senses, (as we know it), although they could in other forms. You will have no argument from me. I am, (therefore I AM).

Elemental matter being 1st density is learning the lessons of red ray, which is the development of awareness and life.

Second Density is the lesson of orange ray which is learning to become self aware as an individual part of the creator.

Third density is the yellow ray refinement of self awareness and the making of the choice, embroiled in interactions with other selves.

Technically to have self awareness and be of the nature of evolving thru the densities requires third density at a minimum, or able to graduate from second. This does not mean that inanimate objects like rocks and air do not have some type of consciousness, just one which we have trouble understanding because it would be a rudimentary form of awareness.

Similarly there is no reason that planets cannot have their own consciousness and even solar systems and galaxies. These are the Sub Logos of creation and exist in all densities and decide the parameters of the creation within their bounds.

The same thing happened when a person who mowed lawns for a living came into the room. Effects like this appear to be common to all types of life, showing that the energy of our thoughts affect the life around us within one unified field of consciousness. And what about the Global Consciousness Project's work where moments that significantly affect humanity such as 9/11 or the following worldwide prayer for peace on Sept. 14 actually caused random number generators placed around the world to show statistical anomalies in different proportions related to how close they were to the tragedy, and the earth's geomagnetic field was also significantly affected as well. This shows that all life and even the components of technology and the physical earth are all tied to consciousness and are affected by our thoughts, emotions, and intentions- probably because everything is consciousness. This is real science that could change the world if widely known, causing all of us to mind our thoughts and intentions and remain positive in order to affect positive change, but sadly like many other things of this revolutionary nature, vested  interests  keep it from receiving the publicity it deserves.
