To Be Aware of Being


I'm watching episodes of Through the Wormhole, reminding me of the cosmological speculations that have been a kind of background radiation in my brain since I was a tiny kid. I'm sure we all have them. This time, the subject is life and its origin.


The essay has been moved to my personal website:

To Be Aware of Being

    I like the thought of afterlife, our body disappears but we remain: our energy.., whatever. If not, how can you explain the little boy, actual Dalai Lama choosing the belongings of the previous Lama http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21321374/ns/world_news-asia_pacific/t/qa-dalai-lama-tibet-china/#.UCgXWKDP7ls

      Oh, I can think of a lot of explanations. There are many uncertainties in human interaction.

      Anyway, from experimenting I have the impression that awareness is not limited to bodily form.

      I have the same impression but with a twist.
      What if we are not an individual but rather a collection of influences that shape our sense of self?

      I initially included the question: "Is the universe aware of itself?" But I thought that would be too much in one blog post.
      Still, the thought intrigues me. If the universe is self-aware, every awareness within the universe might just be part of that.
