The Big Bang Theory - A New Perspective
Today, The Big Bang Theory of modern physics states that prior to the existence
of space and time, the manifestation of the universe began with a huge
explosion. Space and time came into existence and the material world expanded in
size and complexity at an exponential rate, reaching out to create a huge
universe filled with galaxies - size unimaginable, and still expanding. The seed
or source of that entire process is referred to as the Unified Field. Einstein
was the first to theorize its existence. It is the one thing out of which all
else came into existence. It is the source of The Big Bang.

It is fascinating to note that a number of the leading modern physicists whose
focus is this Big Bang Theory speculate that the Unified Field is, in fact,
nothing more than consciousness. The more they study the qualities, nature, and
characteristics of the Unified Field, the more they realize the Unified Field is
nothing other than consciousness itself.

Throughout history, the manifestation of our universe has been pondered. An
interesting common thread exists between many, if not all, of the most
time-honored of those theories. That common thread is expressed in shamanism by
saying, "This is all a dream." Hindu philosophy refers to all of this as "maya,"
that is to say, illusion. The ancient Vedic seers similarly claim, "This is all
just a play of consciousness." These ancient philosophies go on to say that the
entire manifest universe is born of, and sustained by, consciousness.
Consciousness, from within its own inherent nature, gives birth to the structure
of the entire universe.

Remarkably, many modern physicists are speculating that what the ancient seers
insisted, is in fact correct-consciousness is the underlying source and basis of
all existence. Now, for a moment, let's assume they are correct and take a
moment to reflect. A question comes to mind. Quite simply, what is it that we
know about consciousness? At first glance, it may seem self-evident to say that
consciousness, by its very own nature, is conscious. But with a little further
reflection about the Big Bang Theory and the manifestation of existence, we are
prompted to ask another question: "Before anything existed, what could
consciousness possibly have been conscious of?" Remember, we are speaking here
of a time that existed before time and of a place that existed before space. It
was a time of no "thing-ness," pure nothingness. Consciousness could be viewed
then as pure "is-ness" before anything actually was. So what could consciousness
possibly become conscious of? The only thing that
existed-itself. Consciousness, by its own nature, became conscious? of itself.

Hi David,

Some things to think about...

I am surprised that the role of consciousness in "The Big Bang Theory" is
considered as a new perspective, considering that the role of consciousness has
been central to Quantum theory - which was formulated almost 100 years ago.
What Quantum mechanics tells us is that the universe is defined
probabilistically (as a vast range of possibilities) through superpositioning of
quantum states, and that consciousness collapses/decoheres quantum states, and
essentially creates reality (a specific instance selected from what is
possible). What consciousness is effectively doing is to ask a specific
question, and the answer that is returned is "reality". Reality is a
construction of the present, but it is transitory, and constantly being replaced
with new presense. Because we remember events, we form networks of thoughts and
memories that are organized into what we call "the mind", which has only a
distant relationship to what was "real". Curiously, we tend to regard the
contents of the mind as reality. Now consider this: If consciousness creates
reality from the possible, and if we assume that we are each independant
conscious beings, then why are we not in separate realities - separate worlds?
One answer to this is that we are, in fact, each in a separate and unique world,
and only our individual self is actually conscious in our world, and although
other beings appear to be present with us, they are illusions. Another answer
is that we are all sharing one universe because we are all one single
consciousness, even though we tend to believe that we each have a unique
consciousness. Consider this: If we can see the distant stars and galaxies in
the night sky that are many light years away, and the light from most of these
celestial objects left their sources before there was even life on Earth, and if
the specific state of the photons from these objects required conscious
apprehension, then what conscious entity perceived it - so as to make it real?
This suggests that consciousness (our one shared consciousness) apprehended
these celestial objects before mankind, before the dinosaurs, before any life on
earth, before the earth and the solar system, back to the Big Bang.

Ron, that is the best discourse I've seen on how to bridge the gap
between the 'scientific' big bang theory and the idea that
'Intelligence Came First'. May I quote you?

Hi "lealdragon" (I'm not sure how you want to be addressed),

No problem - but please give me credit.

Take care, Ron
