Opis

Panpsychism puts forward the view that the universe is conscious and consciousness is intrinsic property of matter- living as well as non-living. The stars, the planetary systems and the galaxies are conscious and have conscious. The panpsychism considers all matter living and non-living as conscious and hence the star systems being conscious living entities can interact with the universal protoconsciousness field and project into individuals in the earth manifesting as godheads and sages. The Hindu Vedas consider the stars, planets and galaxies as conscious and their force can be projected on to individuals living in earth. Panpsychism can be clinically inferred from dissociative identity disorder or multiple personality disorder. The universe as such is conscious and consciousness is an intrinsic nature of all subatomic particles living and non-living things. The universal consciousness exists in multiple individuals and matter as alters. 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.
