The Way It Is
*******
1. Consciousnsss is all there is
2. There is only one consciousness--consciousness is a oneness or unity
3. The oneness or unity of consciousness,called its principle, is imaged or manifest in an infinitude
of different ways , called ideas. These ideas are as perfect in their oneness and unity as their
source. They can be typified by the infinitude of ideas manifesting the principle of mathematics.
4. The oneness or unity of consciousness, that is its principle, is unknowable, just as the principle
of mathematics is unknowable...but its ideas are knowable...again as in mathematics.
These ideas, perfect in themselves, are the objects available to concious activity, or thinking.
5. Thinking, as a function of consciousness, is free of the restraints of oneness or unity. it can do
what it will in creating the concepts that constitute its experience. If its concepts are based
without fault on the ideas of oneness or unity, then of course its conceptual experience is as
perfect as the ideas. this is what religion calls heaven, what Jesus called the kingdom of God
within you. To the extint the activity of conciousness deviates from the oneness or unity inherent
in the ideas, to that extint it creates the evils of its experience.
6. The inherent oneness or unity of consciousness contradicts the notion of many minds or
consciousnesses, each interacting with the rest. It contradicts the like notion that things
and circumstances in the universe can be separate from each other, unrelated to each
other, independent of each other. To repeat : what religion calls spirits and souls, what
the thinker sees as separate human beings, each with a mind of its own, represents
the mistakes of conscious activity. And what our usual common sense sees as time
and space stuff that exists on its own, represents the same mistakes. There is one mind
or consciousness, and what we call things and circumstances are all of one body!
7. The oneness or unity of consciousness remains forever intact regardless of mistakes
in thinking. The nascient science of holography, representing a major breakthrough in the
search of consciousness for a return to oneness or unity in its thinking , thoroughly proves
the point.
A hologram is a specially-produced three-dimensional picture projected into space. what
What is important to us here is that the picture is a wholeness, a oneness or unity a special
sense. that is every portion of it contains all of it-the whole is in every part. This typifies our
thinking and the things and circumstances of our experience. It supports David Bohm's
conclusion relative to the ideas of holography that "deep down the consciousness of
mankind is one." And Michael Talbot, in the Holographic Universe, writes of things and
circumstances:
Just as every portion of a hologram contains the image of the whole, every portion
of the universe enfolds the whole...Every cell of our body enfolds the entire cosmos.
So every leaf, every raindrop, and every dust mote, which gives new meaning to
William Blake's famous poem:
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a Heaven in a flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
8. The consciousness that thinks and can make mistakes in its thinking is my consciousness,
it is your consciousness. You and I will have to correct its present mistakes. There is no one
else to do it! We will have to return our thinking to oneness--the oneness of consciousness
it self and the oneness of all it is aware of. The best of modern science will guide us,and the
best of phychology, of religion, and of common sense.
