We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.

Beyond vision, hearing, etc.
If we survive long enough, this could develop, but would take millions of years.🙂
Conscious is the ability to understand that we are not alone in the universe; Fermi paradox, et al.
Carl believed in a higher intelligence. Call it God, he liked the idea of an originator of the creator. Or originator. He was not an atheist; he was open.
The cosmos is as the human condition.
I love these types of conversations. Especially in these trying times.
Believing that the only "real" things are that which we can see, touch, or measure is an impoverished view of creation.
Consciousness is the substrate of reality.
We are alters of the universal consciousness.
When we look at nature, we see what "God" is dreaming about.

attended Newport '69 a month later
HEAVY polizei in attendance
no hippy lovefest in LA
both brothers & a cousin served in Viet Nam
Mom was worried sick, but everyone came home
the star always rises,
the star always sets.
the trees keep them feeding,
the trees are kept fed.
they live quarreling loudly,
and then they are dead!.
on a whirling spickle of dust,
goes some magical story.
though it has no end.

Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

Everything in existence will end, but where did the universe come from. What sparked the expansion from nothing?
If there is no infinity, then will there be absolutely nothing after this universe ends?
Will another spark happen, and what causes it?
What is the higher medium that is creating them?
How much higher does it go?
What created that medium, of which all this other stuff is spawning? Higher dimensions? Even higher than those as well?
It's turtles all the way down.

Both seem to know a thing or two about physics.
They should be calmly, politely saying "You'll have to ask a philosopher about that. Do you have any questions about the equations, instead? I can walk you through them."
One thing I don’t think a lot of people realize is that b5 pioneered a lot of cgi-related things in television. It was, for example, the first show to skip the physical models and go CGI.
Don’t think we are the non plus ultra 😉

Is our collective consciousness collapsing the waveform and causing our reality?
Would that then mean that the Big Bang was in fact consciousness coming into existence?
We are the universe. We are not separate from any of the other matter in it. Life is matter interactions reaching a level of complexity. No need for quantum woo

Its understandable, but no less profound

For (it’s my opinion) failing to do so courageously, in the face of the likelihood that the Great I Am that surrounds us is merely the concourse & collision of particles, yields false beliefs that produce monstrosities like the Orange Plague that bedevils us all currently.
What is us?
The “cosmos” could not have “made” us.
Principle:
“No combination of lesser things can create a greater thing IN ESSENCE unless an even greater thing is added to the lesser things.”
'Que sais-je?'
amazing knowledge is incredible.
I should be due for a promotion soon.
Have you checked the weather lately? Yeah we did that!🤔
A virus requires constant growth, life just needs to balance to live properly.
A human life is a blink in time, in the end nothing really matters.
The simplest things in life are often the best, just try and leave this place as good or better than you found it.
Each is composed of substances identical with the substance of all that surrounds him, both the common objects of his disregard, and the hot centers of stars.
-James Agee, 1939

Makes as much sense as a man in the sky who cares about my sex life. 🤣
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
That's why.
but we live within layers of consciousness
including the all-encompassing ONE
#WeWereRight it can be better than this!

I agree though, the more I know, the more I know that I know nothing.
"I think therefore I am"
One of the two things Descartes got right.
Realm of all possibilities.
Do we know that it did? Or was there a period of time between the energy exploding and the formation of matter?
I was out that day.
Isn't that consciousness?
Consciousness being the constant, everything else comes and goes.
