In trying to explain the basics of confederation philosophy to others I often use the word consciousness instead of love because love is such an overused, limited and variously interpreted word in our society and world.
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).
