Rocks are consciousness manifested and moving, but solid, ever-changing, and not aware like we are. 2D evolves to feelings, and group (pack) consciousness. Life forms have sensations, and particularly this relates to movement of 1D, such as soil, wind, warm, and 2D, food, and the species mates. Higher animals, pets, can feel even more. 3D evolves into self-reflection, ethics and duality (A versus B), 4D evolves in the type of service, love (self and/or others) and collective consciousness. And so on.... But I might be wrong....
Well, if you are wrong, then so am I.. You point for point named my understanding. Including the rocks, including the pets.. Pets do this because they are "energized" by our presence. Just like we are energized in the presence of teachers. I once experienced the consciousness of a very old tree under the influence of a mushroom. That changed my whole perspective. I was shocked and surprised by the depth of it's experience. It was not shocked and surprised by my presence. But it was very aware of me. It did not have a sense of self or ego that I could detect.. It felt my hunger and fed me as a matter of course. It fed me as if it fed it's own hunger.
It was way more advanced a being than I had expected.
That put me to thinking, are we wrong in measuring an organisms "advancedness" by relating to it's mind and behavior? By what it can do in our world that has meaning to us?
