Consciousness

Every person in the world is conscious. Yet the massive amount of data continuously flowing to the brain and back to our body, we are not fully aware of much of the consciousness experience. If you ask most people are they aware of the reality going on around them, most will say “no” or “I do not know”. What is the reality of the world that constantly flows before our conscious mind? Can we be consciously aware of the reality of the universe?
The potential conscious awareness of the mind is all the information that flows before us. But can our mind’s eye see it? Our awareness leads us to what we ultimately believe. Can our consciousness lead us to beliefs that our incorrect?
As far back as seven centuries ago, the Tibetan Monks studied how to improve the mind. The monks in the monasteries were thought to be the places of the highest learning and education. Thus, Buddhism became a source of religious belief for the people of Tibet. The monks were interested in how to alleviate the people’s suffering. They tried to understand the cycle of death and rebirth. We will look at what the Tibetan Monasteries have learned over the last seven hundred years.
Many believe that there must be much more to consciousness than the atoms and molecules that make up the brain and the nervous systems. We will look at the makeup of these systems and try to understand what is it that flows from our sensory nervous systems to the brain that makes us aware?
We will explore what it is that helps the flow of ideas become meaningful to the mind. To see how our unconscious thoughts can help us develop and create new ideas. Also, how our unconscious mind might suppress thoughts that can possibly even lead to psychosis and mental illness. Our state of consciousness is expressed to us in emotions and the ways that we think and feel. We will explore the relationships between thinking, feeling, emotions and behavior to look at possible strategies for turning unwanted thought into positive feelings.
We will look at anxiety, depression, anger and frustration that can make us unhappy. Are there ways, to overcome these debilitating emotions to restore happiness and a state of calm being.
Many billions of people in the world turn to spirituality to find a calmness to offset the chaos and uncertainty of life. The great religions of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism have their separate doctrines and beliefs that help their participant cope, love and inspire goodness with their lives. Some people achieve extraordinarily high states of consciousness and oneness with their beliefs in god or their oneness with the universe.
We will look at mental illness and disorder and why society has invested so little to help the suffering of people and their families. We will look at the question do we need to educate people more on controlling consciousness and coping with mental illness and mental disorder?
Some forms of consciousness seem to be beyond the physical sense of the world of atoms and molecule in a form of cosmic consciousness. We examine the physics of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, the Exceptional Simple Theory of Everything, the Theory of Emergent Gravity and the Human Genome to look at the possibility that the consciousness of the mind might extend to information beyond the mind. Finally, we examine information to look at what are the fundamental properties of the universe, the world and the mind to determine if information is physical and subjective.
By looking at consciousness from many different perspectives we hope to determine the relationship between man, the world and the universe and shed some light on this remarkable property of human behavior.
