CONSCIOUSNESS
YMji Here, consciousness is not static—it grows, unfolds, and
diversifies. It becomes synonymous with revelation and discovery. Each new
perception and insight shape you into a more expansive, vibrant spirit.
Consciousness never stagnates; it continuously transforms. Every organism
experiences its own form of revelation, contributing to a broader,
macro-consciousness that enlivens Gaia herself. The ecological web is not
merely functional—it is musical. Each life form is a note, a string in
Gaia’s symphony, and every interaction adds to the continuous formation of
consciousness.
CONSCIOUSNESS IS AWARENESS THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE AUM SOUND, (BIG BANG)
EXPANSIONS OF SPACE AND START OF TIME. EVEN WITHOUT ANY MAYA STATURE, AS
BRAHMAM THE CONSCIOUSNESS WOULD BE ALIVE. CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT STATIC, BUT
YES STATIC TOO; IT IS ACTION IN THE INACTION AND INACTION IN THE ACTION.
IT’S A CAT IN THE BLACK BOX BELIEVED TO E DEAD ALSO AND BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN DETECTED RECENTLY, YET, DISTANCED BY MILES AS UNPROVEN STATUS BUT
WITHOUT WHICH LIFE DOES NOT EXIST. REBIRTHS STATES THAT MIND SOUL AND
CONSCIOUSNESS SETS IN THE BABY AS GARBHOPANISHAD SPEAKS, EVEN BEFORE THE
MODERN SCIENCE.
The Vedic texts from ancient India (approx. 3000–1000 BCE) claim to
be ātma vidyā, “science of self” or “consciousness science.” The most
ancient of these is the cryptic Rigveda. But prose commentaries, called the
Brāhmanas and the Upanishads that appeared in the centuries following the
Vedas, provide a framework to decode its narrative, establishing its
central concern with consciousness. Until recently, the question of
consciousness was considered to lie outside of the scope of science and,
consequently, the Indian texts on the subject were not properly examined.
Scientific attitudes toward consciousness have changed due to the recent
advances in neuroscience and because modern physics and computer science
must confront the question of the observer. In the Vedic View, realities
unitary at the deepest level since otherwise there would be chaos. This
reality is called Brahman (neuter gender). Brahman engenders and,
paradoxically, transcends the mind/matter split. It is identical to
consciousness at the cosmic scale and it informs individual minds. Turning
focus to the very nature of the mind provides insight about consciousness.
awareness. Deterministic science cannot explain free will. If consciousness
is seen as emerging from the ground of the classical world, then scientific
laws again remain incomplete. On the other hand, we do not know why the
brain-machine has awareness whereas computers never will. Nor do we
understand the mechanisms behind psycho neuro immunology or the astonishing
abilities of savants. The Indian approaches to consciousness seem to have
anticipated many difficulties of contemporary science. The classificatory
systems developed in the Indian tradition define categories, such as that
of universal experience, that can be seen to explain the “complementary”
nature of human experience. These categories clearly assign a central role
to selectivity, or context, and change. The Vedic system takes the mind to
be emergent on the ground of the brain, but this emergence is contingent on
the principle of consciousness. The ancient Indian texts of consciousness
were long limited to philosophical analysis alone, remaining an unexplored
frontier in the history of science. Further advances in a scientific
understanding of mind will lead to a better appreciation of these texts.
