Duality: Thus the zero-point energy field built around an infinite plenum of energy points is the source of our experiential reality. Initially it was an energy field in equilibrium until it was disturbed into two opposing unstable potentials. These unstable forces are continually in an agitated state seeking balance, stability and the original ultimate equilibrium. This agitated state is responsible for the seeming unending activity that manifest the dualistic forms of experiential physical reality. If this unstable condition were to suddenly stabilize into a balanced equilibrium, all activity would stop. Physical reality would cease to be manifested. We human organisms would no longer exist.
Question of purpose: What ever initiated or excited the zero-point energy field and disturbed it into activity must be the life force driving our physical reality. This disturbed energy field has manifested an entire universe as a vast living entity; a single holistic living unit composed of an infinite number of super embedded interdependent smaller living units right down to the infinite single energy source point itself. We perceive an agenda behind this life force; a system of laws guiding the activity of form creation. But because we are experientially locked into this active living physical reality we are having difficulty in discovering the purpose.
THE CONSCIOUS COSMOS
Animated: Consciousness permeates the universe. Consciousness is exhibited in every level of our physical reality. Consciousness shows itself in the apparent intelligent processes of evolution. It implies itself constantly through the living process of creating and recreating itself in form. Under the pressure of energy differentials it concentrates pure energy into matter and into ongoing animated forms.
Self-reference: All living systems have the capacity for self-reference. Self-reference implies self-perception or self-representation. Living systems through their sensory apparatus come to know themselves as wholes imbedded within a greater living context. Through sensory perceptors, living systems bump their heads with their surroundings thus learning the constraints imposed upon them from the outside and in turn learning about their internal potentials and limitations. This process of gathering information through sensory perceptors develops a knowledge of self and of the environmental context. This information is used by the organism to guide action. Once we detect something outside our selves we become aware of ourselves. We discover relationships between contextual things detected. And knowing relationships is a requirement to understanding and understanding is an aspect of consciousness. Relationships are invisible laws of interaction and are essentially the result of differential energy potentials seeking resolution.
The living moment: The universe is a single animated matrix of an infinite number of interwoven parts in non-static activity. Conscious intelligence is a fundamental aspect of every part of this living matrix we call the Cosmos. The self-organizing dynamics of this matrix seems to point to a hidden intelligence or mind in the form of an embedded plan. A strange characteristic of this matrix is that each creation in form including the entire matrix itself ceases to exist the moment it is manifested in order to make room for the next creation in the moment. Just think about it for a moment or two; everything we perceive ceases to exist the moment we perceive it, never to be recovered. The forever moment is a universal constant; an open window to view and experience the unstoppable continuous movie like process of creation. Each moment is a new creation.
Coming to know: People of Western scientific technological societies are taught to see all nature as a collection of "things" to be manipulated and used to personal ends. By removing the blinders that such a belief system imprisons us with, people might begin to experience directly their connection and dependency with nature. It is only through one's own perceptions that one can come to know that all nature is alive, intelligent, and conscious. The experience of connecting with nature is the experience of being alive, such an experience can be considered mystical in the sense that it is in essence a direct knowing.
