Some dolphins, whales, and bats navigate and track prey using echo location. This is a very advanced form of hearing that allows them to ?see? their surroundings by listening to and analyzing the way sound reflects off objects in their environment.
All sense organs (receptors) act as transducers â converting light energy, chemical energy, or mechanical energy from the environment into electrical energy of nerve impulses in sensory neurons.
The above quotes when taken together demonstrate a very important concept- different animals have vastly different experiences. Therefore, sensory experience could be said to be subjective. And while matter and plasmas seem to be a constant between all forms of life, how do we really know what it is if it's so different from species to species? Our brain is just taking all of these forms of energy and processing them into something consolidated, which we refer to as consciousness. It begs the question- what if all of these forms of energy that our brain is converting into something observable just vanished? Would we too vanish?
What I propose is that this thing we call "energy"; the driving force of our universe.... and us, are one in the same. That we are merely just this energy in a consolidated form, and death is merely the dispersal of these energies. It wouldn't be far fetched, considering what happens to our bodies when we die; it decomposes, which becomes rich soil, which is absorbed by living things, and subsequently consumed and again absorbed by living things, which then die or release some of the energy and the cycle continues. Much like a single grain of salt dissolving back into the ocean it came from, as is our consciousness to the greater universe and the energies that propel it.
This idea doesn't discount the idea of an intelligent life form that created it. And perhaps, it doesn't discount the idea of God himself. After all, when you look at the manifestations of God all through religious texts through the world, it's often through things like fire and light and heat and sound- which are all forms of energy. God is described as omnipresent, always there. Within you and everything. Sounds a bit familiar to me. Perhaps the universe itself has is an intelligent entity of perpetual energy, that can take many many forms. Some of that energy is in you, some in the sea, some far far under the Earth's crust, and some beyond description, in a place beyond what our consciousness allows us to see.
To me this idea makes perfect sense and falls in line with everything I observe about reality. But many would take offense to this. Indeed, these ideas might even threaten or scare many people; the consciousness itself fighting to deny its own nature because it wants to be important. Many societies would be antagonistic to such an idea. Why? I think that ironically it lies in the logic and simplicity of the concept. People would rather listen to grand and convoluted tales of talking locusts and glorified zombies with strict and dogmatic codes. It gives them something to live by, an identity for the consciousness to live by. I think the neutrality of the universe might sound off-putting to some, lovecraftian even. It makes them feel small.
On top of this, those in charge of society are hard at work to make sure these concepts never cross your mind. Pop culture is loaded with distractions. People find Will Smith smacking Chris Rock far more interesting than the nature of energy and consciousness. But it's more nefarious than mere distractions. These are people first and foremost in service of their ego. The ideas presented in this post threaten that because it doesn't give them much of a right to control you. And that's what makes them feel good, control. So while they distract you with pop culture, they interweave it with dogmatic ideology and propaganda to believe in instead, along with all the convoluted fallacies it is based on.
If the mentally numbing pop culture apparatus isn't getting you, life certainly will. Between terrorist attacks and new wars, pandemics and school shootings, gas prices, "rampant white supremacy", "elections", inflation, and various other manufactured events. It's a nonstop barrage to ensure your mind is on the things they want it to be on. On top of it people in modern western societies are raised from birth to go to school and work nonstop, rarely slowing down to think of such things. They stick people in an institution from age 5 to adulthood where all of these distractions and forms of propaganda can be sufficiently indoctrinated.
The icing on the cake is that despite all of these measures ensuring your compliance is voluntary, if somehow you slip through the cracks and call out their lies, they punish you either by locking you in an institution as an adult, or outright killing you. This has improved in recent times (looking at you catholic church) but nevertheless you will be punished in some way for not towing the line of society.
With all of these factors at play, it's easy to see why these ideas are relegated to philosophical and spiritual circles and largely ignored by the masses. But ultimately, these ideas will free you. When you understand that you and the "source" are one in the same you can then see the malleable nature of energy and indeed, reality itself. All of a sudden the lies and laws of society are seen for what they are- redundant and restrictive. You might notice slips in the cracks of consciousness if you're keen enough to look for them. You may even find that your thinking directly impacts your experience in this conscious plane. And the more you see, the more it all makes sense, and the more you can hone these practices.
And make no mistake, despite my profile name I am not talking about the law of attraction. While vaguely in the right direction, that too ultimately proves to be dogmatic in its strict denial of negative emotions. The reality of the matter is far more dynamic and goes beyond "vibrational states" (which in of itself is a bastardization of quantum physics). Energy itself isn't just distinct states. It's analog and constantly flowing. Your existence is not black and white in this way.
I hope this post has gotten you thinking a bit more about the nature of the life we are all living. Perhaps if you pay attention as you go about your business, you might see hints to the truth. These clues lie between the cracks in our sensory experience but a trained eye can identify them. Free yourself from the chains of society's collective denial of consciousness and embrace your true nature as just part of the greater picture- this doesn't make you small, it frees you from being small. Free yourself.
