How Consciousness Shaped Our Biological Destiny.
The Hidden Spiritual Blueprint of Evolution.
I want to share my understanding of how the belief that consciousness created physical reality is not incompatible with Darwinian evolution. You need an open mind to even consider this because it requires letting go of much of what you have been taught, and yet, it is unlikely to change how you approach life (which is curious when you think about it). This explanation also reveals a profound demonstration of what eternal-consciousness did to experience mortality.
The origins of all physical life on Earth can be traced back to the simplest microbe. The origin of that microbe can be traced back to when consciousness entered the experience of diversity through the creation of time and space (which are a single medium of separation).
Science calls it the Big Bang. Religion calls it Creation. I call it the simultaneous conception and entering of diversity by eternal consciousness.
This is how undivided-consciousness became the many forms of life. For consciousness (which is unified and eternal) to enter the diversity that is created by time and space was an expression of incredible security — a deep knowing of the self. It represented the creation of, and entering into, the first unknown. Through this act, consciousness allowed itself to irrevocably change the way in which it experienced.
It achieved this through entering the illusion that is created by unconsciousness. Unconsciousness is created by forgetting — forgetting that everything is an equal expression of consciousness. All life on Earth, not just humanity, has evolved through the manifestation of a single intention to live. This first creative step into physical-form is reflected in a spiritual master choosing to forget everything they have learnt in order to be a student once more and experience learning their beloved art yet again.
There is a circularity in the evolution of consciousness that is experienced beneath the linearity of physical evolution; the most evolved of any particular quality will always choose to begin the cycle again to have a new experiences of that quality.
All dualistic scales are circles:
Genius connects with madness.
Extreme intelligence quickly becomes stupidity.
Belief in the greatest good soon becomes the greatest evil.
What births must die.
What is forgotten becomes available to be remembered.
To possess all knowledge is to desire ignorance.
To know yourself as all creation is to desire to be the seed (or microbe) that births the next realm of experience.
The great oak tree chooses to become the many acorns it seeds across its life. The microbe that birthed life on Earth is an acorn created by consciousness. It is the unevolved simplicity of that microbe that underpins much of science’s contention that physicality precedes consciousness. This is because it is hard to conceive that a microbe (something that is so simple, we believe it to be a chance configuration of chemicals) is the intentional manifestation of an evolved-consciousness creating all the biological forms of life on Earth in a single act.
This creative act was the translation of an intention to experience the illusion of “other” — which creates the experience of individuality. However, the perception of consciousness is not limited by time or space. What we see as the acorn is one end of a larger entity — a level of consciousness that includes the complete temporal journey from the acorn to the oak tree. The one unified-consciousness becoming the many forms of life is relived every time we step into the forgetting that births our individuality.
The Big Bang was not an event in a distant, disconnected past. Creation is happening now. We are each still a part of the first microbe evolving. In this way — at our root — we are the same.
To fully understand the mortal experience you must view it from the perspective of immortality (as the forgetting of one creates the other). However, to create the mortal experience we must not only forget our immortal experience, we must create the reflection of reality in such a way that it hides us as its creator. To hide our true nature in a reality where everything is a reflection requires great intelligence in its design.
This intention to disguise our immortality is woven into the design of the physical and temporal laws that we created to govern our space-time experience. We purposefully designed this reality to hide what we are from ourselves — to keep it forgotten until it could be remembered at our physical death.
To hide the intelligence of the design of every creature on Earth within a microbe is a superlative example of our determination to experience mortality as deeply as we could.
Without life starting with a microbe, science’s denial of the importance of consciousness could not exist.
Science is doing exactly what we wanted it to do — just like religion. Both are mechanisms that, along with profound truths, mislead us to our unified heritage.
Science and religion may seem to oppose each other, but they are one thing. They are belief systems that blind us to wider, freer possibilities. Science tells us that spirituality is naïve nonsense. Religion tells us to be scared of death because we are going to be judged for our many inevitable “sins.” This entrenches the perspective required for us to forget (such that we can exist within the illusion that we are mortal).
All physical life is the choice of eternal consciousness to experience mortality, linear time, and physical matter. These qualities combine to create the experience of individuality we call “self.”
Consciousness not only created the first microbe — it created time-space for the microbe to exist within. This was the entering of physical existence by eternal consciousness.
