Opis

Consciousness is a fundamental part of matter. The substrate of everything is of mental character. Mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience and all else is remote experience. The fact that all matter is conscious solves the hard problems of consciousness. Consciousness cannot arise out of unconsciousness. The earth, the stars, the galaxies, the forests, the mountains and rivers are conscious according to panpsychism. The animals like the cow and snakes are also conscious. This forms the basis of sacred groves, forests, rivers, cows and nagas in Hindu religion. They have their roots in protoconsciousness field and panpsychism. They signify the earth mother, the mother cow and the reptilian brain. This produces environmental consciousness and environmental religion.
