A Multi-Dimensional Consciousness Solves the Mysteries of Life!

Is Human Consciousness the Outcome of a Divine Consciousness?

Lecture 2013  By: Mr. George D. Patnoe., Jr!



A Preface:

When the first animals saw rain, they probably blindly lived in it without asking a single question. When the first human saw rain, for the very first time, it might have wondered why water flowed from the earth’s sky. When later human’s saw rain, they created gods and then prayed to those gods for more or less rain. When modern day humans began to understand how and why and the rain fell from the sky, they also started to question why light and heat came from the sun. They discover atoms, and other invisible ‘stuff.’ When the first human beings saw the first atomic bomb fall from the sky, they were already dead, leaving the living human beings to hope it never happened again.

Now, in an age of nuclear bombs and weapons, most humans hope to never see not a single nuclear bomb or weapon drop from the sky; because they know if they see one, they will see more, which could lead to the self-annihilation of the whole human race and every living creature on planet earth, human or not. Now, all human beings hope that it only rains water from the sky, just as it has done before the beginning of life on earth.



Introduction: Some Questions and Issues:

Supposedly, very, very, very long ago, over 15 billion cosmic light years, the current cosmic universe did not exist. Neither did any biological life form. And neither did any consciousness on planet earth; because earth did not exist either. And of course, the human brain and the human consciousness did not exist, either. They are both very recent inventions in the current cosmic universe. Supposedly, nothing existed, except a void of nothingness. Of course, that void of nothingness before the Big Cosmic Bang, or the nano-nano-second of cosmic creation is speculation, based on current pure astrophysical and cosmological theory. There are other theories about what might have existed before the Big Bang, (or the instant of the very hot, explosive cosmic creation) but nothing is very certain; although many scientists believe that they are very certain regarding the cosmic universe. But could there have been a non-human, spiritual intelligence at work before the cosmic big bang, and before the human brain and human consciousness which was the First Cause of everything, including the constant changing cosmic laws behind the creation of the cosmic universe, and the human brain and then the human consciousness.

So there was a supposed state of nothingness! But even as a child, I questioned the supposed state of nothingness, because how can there be a state of nothing? Even if nothingness existed, it would be a something nothingness. Two of the mysteries of cosmology and astrophysics is what existed before the cosmic big bang, and what caused life on earth, including the thinking human brain. Which also leads to the funny notion of some religious beliefs and human minds trying to ascend into a state of nothingness. How absurd is that? But could something have existed before the cosmic universe that the human brain and human consciousness may not be aware of, or could be aware of; you know, because of the limitations of both the human brain and human consciousness? Many religions, or religious beliefs or religious believers will simply and blindly state that God created everything. But that is a rather vague notion and vague word because a God undefined could mean anything to anyone, whatsoever! As it has since the thinking brain invented its own myths about the creation of life on planet earth.

So what did exist before the Big Bang, or at the instant of cosmic creation; even before the supposed creation of the cosmic universe, up to the first living cell on earth, up to the first non-human brain, up to the first human brain and human consciousness, and up to the current state of human intelligence? If the cosmic universe, as well as all other questions regarding life, could there have been other dimensions which existed irregardless of the creative laws of astrophysics and the creative laws of biological life on earth? Could there not have been other dimensions influencing the whole cosmic and biological processes, for a higher purpose, a higher goal, other than to simply install a biological and thinking life form and brain on a very small planet called earth? In other words, why is there not only a thinking brain on a very small planet, but why is there a state called human consciousness, which can be aware of so many different mental realms?

Those are the common materialistic scientific and religious and metaphysical issues and questions; as well as are the questions: “What created or caused the cosmic universe, and biological life forms on a small planet, and a thinking human brain? And for what purpose and goal?” Why is there a thinking biological brain and what is the role of the thinking human brain in the whole scheme of the cosmic universe?” And why did the cosmic universe began? Why was it created in the first place? What is the purpose and meaning, even the cosmological and possibly divine purpose and goal of the cosmic universe and the human thinking brain, and even the human consciousness? The human brain and the human consciousness are not the same identity, not the same entity, not the same thing. Could it be to find God - or the Divine Mind or Divine Intelligence which existed independently of the cosmic universe and the human brain, but which influences both the cosmic universe and the thinking human consciousness?

And, what caused the physical earthly conditions on planet earth for the first living cell to appear on a small planet earth? And what caused the local cosmic conditions for that life of the first living cell to appear? Was it all happenstance, luck, an accident, possibly against the laws of cosmic probability, and against the laws of chaos theory? Moreover, what caused the creation of a material biological life form on earth, or any planet, besides the physical laws and processes that appeared to have influenced that first living cell which popped into existence on earth? It must also be asked; “What created the physical laws and physical operation too?” What underlying framework existed for the first material biological intelligence on earth, which lead to the very first general non-human biological brain, along its paths of hundreds of millions of years of evolution and development, up to the current human brain and human mind which can be partly conscious of both the creation and evolution and development of the cosmic universe and of biological life on earth, and even the afterlife; or the dimension of life after supposed biological death? How can the human consciousness be aware of more than the cosmic universe and of biological life on earth? What caused the long cosmic and biological evolution and development which lead to human consciousness; or a state of consciousness which can jump out of a purely biological state of consciousness into states of pure consciousness, even a pure spiritual consciousness? Is the human consciousness the final state and stage of consciousness? Or are there higher states of consciousness to be discovered and to be lived and experienced?

Can the human consciousness be aware of higher dimensions which have had an impact and influence on the cosmic universe and on all life on earth, up to and including the human brain and human consciousness? Are there both physical causes, biological causes, and spiritual causes, for the seemingly long progression of different outward cosmic processes and earthly processes that have resulted in the complex human brain and human consciousness which can look backwards through cosmic space and space-time, to discover the possible higher cause that impelled both the cosmic evolutionary development, and the earthly biological life forms that resulted in the human brain? Can not these questions only be answered multi-dimensionally?

In one very real sense, these issues are asked and answered both physically and metaphysically. It can not be denied that there are cosmic light waves and energies and forces, etc., that have been in operation for 14 billion light years or so. And there have been biological processes too, on earth for hundreds of millions of earth years. It can not be denied that there has been biological life and life forms on earth for hundreds of millions of years, probably longer. But what about the state and stages called consciousness? Has there been evolutionary and developmentally processes of states and stages of consciousness evolution on earth, so the end result would be a human consciousness which would transcend the biological self-awareness, or a purely biological consciousness, based purely on a biological creature or entity, to a more metaphysical and spiritual consciousness, or to an immaterial and spiritual entity and identity? Whatever is located in consciousness is no longer a physical and material thing. Immaterial values in consciousness are either psychological and or metaphysical - spiritual, even idealistic. Could it be that the general human consciousness had started out as a purely biological state of self-consciousness, but which has mutated out of the purely biological state of self-biological awareness to a cosmic consciousness, and even up a spiritual consciousness?

All that, after some 14 billion cosmic light years of cosmic evolution, there is now a state of human consciousness on earth that can be consciously aware of higher dimensional processes that started the whole cosmic and biological creative process. Since in the beginning there was no human brain or human mind, could there have been a Cosmic Mind or a meta-supreme cosmic intelligence, with a meta-cosmic plan? Or better yet, a Divine Mind or divine Intelligence, with its own teleological goal, now programmed within every human brain and mind? Which would imply that every individual human brain could transcend above being a simple brain, into different states of consciousness. In other words, is there a higher dimensional intelligent cause and purpose for the existence of the human brain and human consciousness? Namely, to be conscious not only of the cosmic universe, in all its layers and dimensions, but to be conscious of the Mind of God, or the underlying divine Intelligence that created everything; everything except human evil? From a purely physical standpoint, that might seem impossible, because to the purely physical mind, or physical consciousness, everything is physical or material, but even the physical and material cosmic universe is no longer considered physical or material, in the deepest essence of being a solid thing, like a solid rock. Even a rock is not truly a solid thing. More and more, metaphysical ideas and laws are being taken into consideration by thinkers to answer the deepest questions about life and death, the cosmos, and God.

Did a divine Mind or Intelligence impel the instant of creation of the cosmic universe, its evolution and development, and then did that same divine Intelligence also impel the creation of a biological life form on a lonely planet now called earth, and also impelled the evolution and development of the whole process of biological brain development and evolution up to and including the current stage of human brain development and human consciousness? And what is to happen in the future regarding the human consciousness or the future of the human species?

In one real sense, the limited human brain and mind can not see and view the whole cosmic universe with the human biological eye, so the human brain was intelligent enough to create and build high power deep space telescopes to view the cosmic universe, along with powerful microscopes to view the smallest creatures and objects too. And then, with its mental abilities and functions, like analytical reasoning and logic, etc, the human mind started to create it own theories about the Big Bang. But what was before the Big Bang? Lately, there have been more and more physical theories about it, but what about a metaphysical theory about the invisible cause and beginning processes of the cosmic universe, which lead to the creation of the human brain and human mind.

Just as the human brain uses microscopes and telescopes to see beyond the limitations of the human eye and human brain, so too, does the human consciousness possess mental tools to mentally see realms and dimensions that are totally beyond the earthly and the cosmic realms, to the metaphysical and spiritual realms of existence. “Can the Divine Intelligence, or the divine Mind which would be God, which lets assume existed before the Big Bang, be connected to the human brain and human consciousness now; in such a way as to force the human consciousness into spiritual realms and states of consciousness? But moreover, to force the human race into new and better states of human civilization by changing the structure of human consciousness from a purely biological or animalistic state of self-consciousness, into a non-animalistic biological state of consciousness, and then into a spiritual state of consciousness. This is a very important issue in an age of technological advancement of nuclear weapons and warheads and weapons that are being built and used by some very primitive and animalistic human beings.



The Human Brain:

The human brain is exactly like most of the previous biological brains that have lived and walked on planet earth, from the insects, snakes, spiders, fish, birds, dinosaurs, to the monkeys, etc. In fact, the general state and functions and processes and operations of most biological brains are that they can see with eyes, hear with ears, smell with a nose, taste with a tongue, and feel things. Of course, there are so many variations of those five physical senses, but most creatures with brains have usage of some aspect of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It has been that way since the first biological brain appeared on earth, after a very long process of earth’s atmospheric, ecological, chemical, and other conditions were ready to support living creatures with brains on earth.

Even the cavemen and later humanoid forms who appeared and walked the earth for millions of years possessed the simple brain functions for sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. In one sense, all of those biological senses were operating on auto-pilot because once a biological creature is born onto earth, the biological body is preprogrammed to operate and function for its biological survival. All biological creatures want to live and to survive for as long as possible, and their brains are programmed from birth with flight or flight mechanisms to help in the survival process. Simple enough! But can the five physical senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch understand or know anything at all, esp. about the cosmic universe and abstract metaphysical spiritual laws?

But at some point in the evolution and development of the human brain, something changed within that human brain, which made human consciousness very distinct from all of the other biological and animalistic states of consciousness that proceeded it from the first brain that arrived onto planet earth. As a matter of fact, consciousness is what changed within the human brain. The human brain began to be conscious of more than what the eye could see, the ear could ear, the tongue could taste, the nose could smell, and hand, etc., could touch. That means that the human brain possesses different and higher states of consciousness, meaning mental functions, abilities, and operations than all of the other brains before it did not possess. And if they did possess higher states of consciousness, distinct from the simple biological states and functions of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching, they still could not use and manipulate higher mental qualities and functions and operations the way a human brain and a human being can use and manipulate mental abilities, functions, and operations. Because both the biological body and brain had to possess certain qualities to function together, like a brain, and a hand with a thump, and a voice box, etc. to match the human ability to achieve higher achievements, like higher forms of communication, reading and writing, and building spaceships, computers, and nuclear bombs.



Why Is The Human Brain Special: Metaphysically?

The human species has crossed over the threshold from being another purely simple minded biological species and life-form walking and living on planet earth, to a biological species and life-form that has actually risen out of the evolutionary concept of a purely biological life form, into a biological life form that can possess different states of consciousness, and not only a single state of consciousness. Imagine that! A biological species and life-form that can possess a multi-dimensional and a multifaceted consciousness. No other biological life form or species in the history of life, of biological life, on earth, has possess such a higher state of consciousness and conscious existence; at least not like the human brain and mind. Therefore, the new and profound issue facing and challenging mankind and mankind’s future is consciousness! Where did it come from; its cause or creator? Why does consciousness even exist? What is it, what is in it, how does it operate, how is it changing, and what will consciousness mutate into in the future? What is the role of consciousness for mankind’s current and future survival? Now, there have been many changes within the human consciousness regarding many issues and topics, but what about the issue, problem, and dilemma of God; and even the problem of human evil? Especially, humanly created evil perpetrated against other human beings!

But the deepest and deeply profound issue and dilemma mankind is confronted with is the relationship between the human brain and human consciousness, and what that human consciousness is conscious of, or perceives as God, or the Divine Supreme Being. The almost impossible, more most important question for all mankind to answer is, “Is there a ‘God’ and what is God? And how does it connect to the human brain and the human consciousness in general and specifically, or collectively and individuality, in order to force the ever evolving and changing and mutating human consciousness into deeper spiritual states of existence, and consciousness?

In other words, what are human beings conscious of as God in the modern day human mind, versus the old primitive, simplistic, and limited consciousness which mankind has possessed regarding everything from music and number theory, life on earth, the cosmic universe, religious concepts about God, and even the realistic possibility of an afterlife, since the first biological brain arrived on earth very long ago? Can the limited biological human brain ever be conscious of God at all, or can only the human consciousness be conscious of God; which implies the dual nature of the biological brain and the different states of consciousness located within that biological brain? On the other hand, on the flip side, can God, whatever it is, be connected to the human consciousness, and even be connected to the human biological brain, to force it to mentally conceive and perceive higher spiritual states of existence, and to create a higher and better human civilization?

The main reason these issues are very important is the major problem currently facing mankind; which is the self-destruction of the human race or species because of technological advancements, (such as nuclear weapons) have overtaken the advancement of the individual and collective human consciousness, which in many ways is still lingering in very outdated and false religious belief systems, while the material sciences are changing the outward conditions on planet earth, for the human race and the global society. But maybe not fast enough to survive the possible self-annihilation of the human species, in more ways than nuclear weapons. This is a very serious and practical issue instead of a purely theoretical fantasy. There are many ways that the human species could self-destruct, and if once the boiling point has been reached, there will not be any way to stop the boiling chaos of the human species’s self-annihilation.



Examples of Human Consciousness:

Music, Mathematics, Cosmic Space and Space-Time, Laws, Religion.



What has changed since the moment that the human biological body, the human brain, and the human consciousness first arrived on planet earth, is the difference between it and the other biological animalistic states of mind or self-consciousness. All other creatures have possessed an unchangeable state of biological and mental state of existence, sometimes for millions of years, without any major change, except for color, or size, etc. On the other hand, the human states of mind, or human consciousness, have gone though radical transmutations in understanding so deep and profound, in many different areas of physical, mental, cosmic, and metaphysical states of existence, which all of the other biological creatures have not preformed.

Along with the different states of consciousness that humans can possess, and the importance of how those states of consciousness impact and influence and affect both billions of individual lives, and the collective human race as a whole, and all life on earth, should be an issue for the survival of the human race on planet earth, but also for the individual and collective identity of the human race as a species. Yet, there are differences between old, old, simplistic, primitive states of human consciousness and the new modern, improved and developed states of human consciousness. There are so many examples, but only a few will be illustrated and used here.

These examples need to be illustrated and used to see the differences between the old and primitive states of human brain and mind development, and the new, modern, improved states of human mind development, up to the current age of mental, conscious human mind development. Simple examples are needed to illustrate some of the differences between the old, primitive, and simplistic states of human consciousness, and that of the new, modern, and improved states of human consciousness. The key is mentally abstract understanding as a state of consciousness!



Music: as a State of Pure Musical Consciousness:

One modern day example of a higher, more evolved state of human consciousness would be music, or the understanding of sound waves, even the science of sound waves used for music; and other purposes. All animals can listen to the music that the human brain and mind can create. A dog or a cat or a horse or an elephant or a monkey, (even a dinosaur could) can certainly listen to music if that music was being broadcasted over loudspeakers to their ears and brain. But no other animal brain, unlike the human brain and mind, will ever be able to understand the abstract science of music and the science of sound waves, write it down with musical notes, or read and think about music, like a music critic. The importance of that simple concept can not be overstated. There is a huge division between the constant un-changeable, primitive, and simplistic mental state of all other animal’s brains when they hear sounds, whether sounds of music or the night’s winds; versus that of the human brain and human mind, and the human consciousness that can actually mentally understand and know everything there is to know about the science of musical sounds and sound waves and the night’s winds. But this concept could be taken one step farther in regards to the huge division within the general and individual human brain and mind about understanding the science of music and not understanding the science of music, or sound waves and how that applies to each musical instrument, and how the biological brain hears sound waves and music.

Since the beginning of music, the human species has pounded sticks together and or beat drums with sticks to create very primitive music, without understanding a thing or note about music. But the modern musical mind can understand the science of music in all its forms. It can write and read musical notes, and read about music and write about music for other musical minds to read, to learn, to teach; along with understanding the science of sound waves, and even to understand how and why each musical instrument produces the sound waves it does, and then build each musical instrument perfectly for the perfect sound for perfect music from each perfect musical instrument. Now, the difference between the old simple minded musical method of beating sticks together or a primitive drum to create sounds, along with people yelling into the air to false gods, as they danced around the camp fire is much different than the current modern musical mind that can understand the musical scales, etc. and the science of sound waves in all its aspects, to create written musical scores, and the varied musical instruments, and then to create all of the infinitely various music for billions of people to listen to; people who might not want to understand a bit of the science of sound and sound waves and music because they are to busy working and living their lives. Or who are lazy, or do not care, or for whatever reason. But the point here is that there is a huge difference between a real pure musical consciousness, or the understanding of music as real abstract mental musical concepts within the human mind and brain, compared to simply listening to music over the radio, or on a cd, or a computer, or ipod. Understanding within consciousness is the key! A human consciousness that can understand abstract mental concepts is the key!

So the awareness or consciousness of music and musical sound waves and sound waves in general is now understood by individual human minds, and it could be understood by the whole collective human mind if every individual human mind wanted to learn everything about music that there is to learn. Of course, that is a bit crazy and impractical. But it is possible! But here is the important point. There is a very real and huge difference between individual human minds, or individual human states of consciousness that truly understand music and have made that very deep understanding a part of their individual consciousness, so other individual human minds, or states of consciousness, can listen and enjoy music without every having to study or think about the deep aspects of music or the science of music and musical sound waves. In other words, it could be stated that there is a musical state of consciousness within an individual’s human consciousness, compared to a totally non-musical state of consciousness, even if that non-musical state of individual human consciousness loves to listen to music. There is a huge difference between simply listening to music compared with understanding the science of music, the science of sound waves, and even how the human ear and brain processes all of those musical sound waves or any sound waves whatsoever, from a neuroscience perspective.

The point here that there are different degrees and states of musical consciousness. From the simple minded listening musical consciousness to the more pure abstract understanding musical consciousness. And there is a whole world of difference between the two, but a musical consciousness must have started somewhere, and as is so often the case, it stated with the pounding of sticks and the beating of the simple drums over the span of hundreds of thousands of years, and maybe millions of years, to the current age of a very advanced abstract musical consciousness.

The mental realms of the human mind itself are also not a purely physical or material biological realm, or material or physical state of existence, although the biological human brain is definitely part of its operation. The same could be stated regarding so many other abstract topics of conscious human abstract intellectual understanding; from pure mathematics and number theory, to economics and politics and government, to art and story telling, to the cosmic universe, and even to the human mental realms of psychology. The realm of economics and politics and government was less complex than it is today. In the very old days, a story was just a story, but now, writers of stories can trapped their reader’ minds into a story which will keep their reader’s eyes glued to each word until the last page of the book. Many people have psychological issues to deal with besides their biological body. Mathematics and the science and usage of numbers in all their forms, methods, operations, etc. could be stated exactly like the music example. From the very old days of very simple number counting to the modern day mental mathematical constructions of invisible multi-dimensional objects and dimensions, which the human eye can not see, but which the human mind and consciousness can see!



Mathematics: As a State of Pure Mathematical Consciousness:

The main point here is that the realm of mathematics or numbers and number theory is a purely mental realm of existence, and not a material or physical thing, even if the whole cosmic universe, and life on earth, and many abstract mental realms can be measured numerically. The other biological creatures on earth can not possess such a state of abstract mentally or consciousness, even if they could count simple items or objects of any sort. Like music, the realm of mathematics is a purely human mental state of consciousness. All is consciousness!

Any mathematical historian will know that there have been different stages of mathematical mental development, or the human usage of numbers and number theory, from simple counting to very complex multi-dimensional numerical equations that express multi-dimensional objects which no biological eye can see, but which the human mind can see. But not only that! The simplistic human mind that used numbers for number counting so very long ago basically counted objects in different ways for very simplistic counting of objects. But today, after a long process of abstract mathematical human mental development, the modern day mathematical mind can use numbers and number theory in ways that those old number counters could never have imagined. The old and simplistic mental state of number countering is a very simplistic numerical understanding within a simplistic mathematical consciousness regarding not only a very limited usage for numbers, but the those simplistic number counters were also mentally limited and underdeveloped for any complex mathematical mental advancements and developments.

Could the old simplistic number counters have ever imagined calculus, or statistics, or even topology, etc., etc., etc.? Not to mention using numbers to understand cosmical and nuclear and quantum processes and operations, and processes relating and regarding invisible realms that the human eye can not see, but which the human mind and human consciousness can not only understand, but which can use and manipulate to create atomic and nuclear bombs and weapons of war that could kill every living creature on planet earth.

Again, the point is that there is a whole world of difference between the old, primitive, and simplistic state of consciousness and understanding within that consciousness regarding numbers, versus deeper and more complex number theories that the human mind can understand, use to change the world in various ways. But more importantly, the human brain and mind is also changed too. Since time immemorial, every biological brain with eyes could see the light; from the sun, from the moon, from fire, from the white dots in the black, dark, night sky. Today, any student of physical science can be expected to understand and know that light travels at 186,282 miles per second or 299,792,458 meters per second. That changes everything regarding so many mental perceptions and conceptions of the cosmic universe, and of life on earth. Just ask Einstein, who possessed not only a musical and mathematic consciousness, but a cosmic consciousness too! Even though he possessed a human biological body.



Cosmic Space and Space - Time as Mental Concepts: As States of Cosmic Consciousness:

The old, primitive, and very simplistic state of the human mind viewing the sun light, or any light whatsoever, had no true mental conception about light waves or particles, (such as the electromagnetic spectrum) the speed of the light from the sun or any light source. But today, it is common knowledge in every school science textbook that the speed of light is a fixed fact as certain as the state of consciousness of whose minds reading those facts: maybe more so! The speed of light? How about the speed of time and space-time too?

It could be correctly assumed that each biological brain from a flying insect and bird to the brain of Einstein, that each biological species’ brain perceives time and space in its own way, although all see space on planet earth, and all experience time in their own way, esp. their biological body’s time clock. Therefore, each biological brain is going to be conscious of space and time differently, even if only a bit differently, or vastly different, as how an astrophysicist’s and a cosmologist’s individual consciousness is aware of space and space- time compared to the most ignorant and simplistic human brain and mind, or any other creature with a brain on planet earth.

For millions and thousands of years up to very recently in human history, mental concepts within the visual brain and mind of cosmic space and space-time were unchangeable and limited to seeing white dots in the dark, black night sky, because the visual brain and mind have limited abilities, just like all of the other biological brains and mind which have ever existed on earth; which lead to wrong mental concepts about cosmic space and space-time. Even the limited human brain and mind’s conception of cosmic space and space-time was limited and wrong for a very, very long time throughout human history. That lead to many wrong and false religious; which innocent human beings have suffered for and which they still do. This problem was partly solved when the human brain and mind understood something about optics and light waves, which lead to building bigger and better high powerful deep-space telescopes, which lead to new and improved mental conceptions and constructions of cosmic space and space-time, which lead to a new understanding, and new consciousness, to what were those white dots are in the black night sky, which lead to a totally and completely new mental conceptions of cosmic space and space-time consciousness, for one and all, for the whole human species.

In other words, the modern human brains and minds that were studying, exploring, discovering, and becoming conscious of new realms of cosmic space and space-time had their individuals states of human consciousness changed, transformed, mutated, with new mental conceptions; and outdated mental realms of cosmic space and space-time were metamorphosed into new and completely different mental conscious states of cosmic space and space-time, into a new human cosmic consciousness of cosmic space and space-time. Therefore, all previous speculations about what were those white specks in the black night sky, if there was indeed any speculation at all about the stars throughout human history, and throughout all history of creatures that viewed those white dots in the black night sky, were always based on guesswork and speculation, pure and simple. Which meant they possessed very simplistic and false mental concepts about cosmic space and space-time, and delusional states at that. They truly had no idea what was beyond planet earth, but now the human mind understands more than it once did. And because the human species understands more, our individual and collective cosmic consciousness is different; and it is transformed, mutated, metamorphosed, too.

That means that even if individual human minds perfectly recorded the patterns of the white dots in the black night sky, they possessed no real understanding about any aspect of the cosmos or cosmic space and space-time. Cosmic patterns and observations could be recorded, but without any true understanding about the comics universe. That meant that the human race was always stuck on earth, with a limited brain that could only see, without any real understanding about the cosmic night sky. That means that the human race, the human mind’s consciousness was still primitive and simplistic in regards to understanding the cosmic universe; a fact that the modern day human mind might take for granted.

Then came along a higher and deeper understanding of the cosmic sky and of cosmic space and space-time. When the limited human brain aimed its eyes through a telescope, its mental conceptions had changed, as did its conscious awareness of cosmic space and space-time. There was a change within mental conceptions, and therefore there was a change in consciousness too, regarding cosmic space and space - time. The consciousness of cosmic space and space-time had changed, meaning human consciousness had changed too, at least for some human brains and minds. Therefore, those are two different states of consciousness regarding the old, simplistic and primitive state of consciousness regarding cosmic space and space-time and the new, updated, deeper, and improved modern states of consciousness regarding cosmic space and space-time.

Now, the difference between the consciousness of each individual mind and the collective human mind before the period of modern day powerful deep space telescopes, versus the old primitive period of no telescopes means that there had to be two completely different states of cosmic consciousness for each period. The old period of the primitive cosmic consciousness was a simple visual mental image of a black night sky with white dots, specks, spots. The new period of modern day cosmic consciousness is based on visual cosmic space and space-time images from powerful deep space telescopes that can view not only very far pass what the human eye can see, but back into the distance of billions of cosmic light years. To state this truth as simple as possible, the modern day cosmic consciousness beholds different mental cosmic space and space-time conceptions and perceptions, even as mental visual images, than the old primitive simplistic mental visual images that were stuck within the human consciousness for thousands and millions of earth years. That truth is very important, indeed.

That means that there is a vast difference between the consciousness of cosmic space and space-time between the pre-telescopic period, and the post-telescopic period. An individual self-consciousness that viewed the cosmic universe without the telescope possessed simplistic cosmic space and space-time mental images from earth to the sun, the moon, and the seemingly white dots far off in the distance. Whereas an individual self-consciousness that views the cosmic universe with a powerful deep space telescopes, possesses different mental images, and therefore different states of understanding and therefore consciousness of the cosmic space and the space-time continuum. That means that there can be and are at least two different mental states, or states of human consciousness of the cosmic space and space-time universe, based on new information, on new metal perceptions and conceptions. Of course, new information, knowledge, and understanding are being updated all the time, which will enlarge the individual and collective human cosmic consciousness of the observable and invisible cosmic universe.

Even today, there are differences between the majority of the human race that look up to and at the black night sky of white dots. Some of those minds will know from seeing pictures in astrophysics books that those white dots are stars or galaxies as a more advanced state of mind from the old primitive human mind, but still a simplified state of cosmic awareness. But the individual human mind that studies in depth the cosmic universe full time will definitely possess a different cosmic consciousness than the people who only look at pictures in books or on the web. But still, the general human collective mental visual images and consciousness of cosmic space and space-time has changed; just recently in human history, which means that the awareness, the human consciousness of cosmic space-time has changed too.

The point is that after millions of years, or much longer, of brain and consciousness evolution and development, from the smallest brain of a flying insect to the current human brain, the biological human brain and consciousness can now distinguish between noise and noisy music and the pure science of music, can mentally compute with numbers in higher abstract mental realms, along with possessing deeper and more correct mental conceptions and perceptions cosmic space and space-time. But more than that, certain human brains and minds can understand all three of the above mentioned abstract topics; namely, the science of music, the science of numbers, and the laws of cosmic universe. All of those states of consciousness are primarily mental realms of existence, not physical or material realms of existence. That is a multifaceted and multi-dimensional consciousness which all the other biological creatures do not possess, nor could they ever possess. Although it will be safe to state, other biological creatures do possess some unique mental abilities beyond what most human brains possess, or ever could!



Laws: as States of an Abstract Lawful Consciousness:

Another major difference between the human brain and mind from all other biological brains is that the human brain and mind can comprehend and understand and use the mentally invisible abstract concept of law, can understand all of the various laws in all the various fields within the human mind’s mental grasp: the material, mental, atomic, cosmic, earthly, whatever. And can use those laws to obtain certain results. The other biological brains, no matter how big or small, no matter how better they can see, hear, taste, smell, or feel, can not accomplish one of the biggest mental functions that the human brain and human mind can accomplish, and therefore they can not be conscious of being consciously aware of the general concept of law, and specific laws, regarding to any topic, whether laws of society, number theory, physics, astrophysics, economics, government, or life itself, etc. Or even the laws of God! Yes, there are understandable, unchangeable laws of God! Not in this mini-lecture.

That might seem to be an obvious fact, but what are the implications for such a mental and conscious feat? After millions of years, or whatever the numbers of years it has been since the first brain arrived on earth, the human brain and mind has arrived to the current stage of being able to consciously comprehend abstract laws regarding everything from the simplest forms of the law cause and effect, the law of determinism, to laws of light waves and sound waves, the economic law of supply and demand, the psychological law of positive and negative reinforcement, to social and governmental laws, subatomic laws and nuclear laws, to cosmic laws, even laws of morality and ethics relating to many areas of human existence, both for its future survival to the survival of the planet earth. The mental concept of law is an invisible abstract mental concept, as are all laws! But more importantly, by understanding laws, regarding any topic, the human mind possesses the ability to change its own consciousness, and life on earth , and beyond too? Are there laws for the afterlife too? Is it possible that the divinely spiritual mental realm of God is also a realm of spiritual metaphysical laws? This has been written about in many forms throughout the ages.



Religion: as a State of Religious Consciousness. How the human mind usually views ‘God.’

Everyday, billions of people, or human brains and minds, wake up with the worship of God in their emotional religious minds, even if only on a subconscious level. And it could be assume from this lecture that the reason for that could be because God as a divine Intelligence is forcing the human brain and human mind to think, perceive, and conceive of the realm of God, even if the whole human species possess wrong mental concepts about God. Second, at the current state of human brain and mind development, the notion of a higher Being is in all probably built into the human mind’s deepest nature and purpose, and that means within the human brain and mind too.

Which is to not only stand in awe of life on earth and of the cosmic universe, but also of and cosmic and divine plan behind it all. Normally, the topic of God is created by the human mind after the human mind uses the biological eyes and brain to form human theories about the topic of God. But really, how ridiculous is that notion esp. since the human brain and human eye can not even see most of the cosmic processes and biological processes that have happened and continue to happens on planet earth. Only the human mind and consciousness, through the tool of mental abstract understanding about invisible realms, like the mental realms of music, mathematics, cosmic space and space -time, and law, but of God too; that the biological eye can not see, nor the ear can hear, nor the tongue can taste, or the nose can smell, etc.

The topic of God can be mentally viewed from three fundamental basic states of mind. First, there are the different types of mentally blinded religious faith in God. Meaning, the human mind will lazily and blindly, ( brainwashed ) believe and say anything about ‘god’ without any real thought process at all. Second, there are the atheists who do not believe in God at all. In fact, most will state that there is no God at all; that God does not exists, in any way, shape, or form. That there is no God. Of course, since God is not physical, if they stated that God was not a physical entity, they would be correct. Third, there are those agnostic minds that ‘claim neither a faith or disbelief in God.” But who might be open to the topic of God, but are not really sure about it. Most probably do not even care one way or the other about God, if it exists or does not exist.

Yet, what is the basic problem with all three of these different mental states of human mind regarding God? The basic problem, or dilemma, is the fact that the biological human brain, as a purely biological brain, can not see, nor observe most of the material world of life and its laws and processes, nor the cosmic universe and its laws and processes without helpful aids, so how can the limited human biological brain, by itself, even begin to touch the realm of God, even the Mind of God?

It is for this very reason that the microscopes and telescopes are have been created, built, and used, to see through and past the limitations of the human brain’s visual limitations regarding many of the realms and dimensions that surround the human brain and human life on earth and beyond; to be able to understand material and biological life’s operational processes, and cosmic operational processes too. But once new, different, bigger, and better concepts have entered into the human consciousness, then the human consciousness is forced to change it mental conscious mental perceptions and conceptions about many issues, and it has no choice but to change its mental perceptions and conceptions relating to everything, from the cosmic universe, life after death, and even the topic of God. So what about God, or in this case, a divine Intelligence? What mental tools can be used to mentally see and touch the realm called the Mind of God, a self-conscious entity or realm which is seemingly different and separate from the human brain and human consciousness, but which can influence it nevertheless, as different states of mentality or mind or consciousness, by the metaphysical laws of multi-dimensionalism, and of the laws of translation. ( Laws written about by Dr. Max Kappeler, in more depth. ) Or in other words, a divine intelligence influencing the human intelligence! A divine spiritual consciousness influencing the human consciousness. From this new standpoint or perspective, the intelligent Mind of God would be connecting to the human brain and human mind and consciousness, forcing the human brain and human mind to connect to the Mind of God.

There are still two more ways in which the human brain and human consciousness has mentally viewed and perceived God. The first is that God is a physical or material being or entity, usually located somewhere up in the cosmic universe. And mentally, that is where most religious minds believe heaven or hell exist too. Even as old outdated concepts about the cosmic universe were being destroyed and replaced by new knowledge and information, the old religious mentally lingers on, deluding the human species with drunkard and misty religious concepts that are not real; at all! How an a whole human species be so mentally and spiritually blind and dead?

That outer space god is now a very old, outdated mental concept, created before powerful deep space telescopes were used to view into outer cosmic space. That a material or physical god exists has never been proven, nor could it be proven. But it has been disproved. Modern day powerful deep-space telescopes have never seen a humanized material god anywhere up there, in the cosmic universe. Second, god is sometimes conceived as a magical and mystical being, less physical, yet still unexplainable. Again, never been proven, nor could it be. What are the problems with physical concepts is that there is no physical biological God on earth, or up beyond the sky, except as delusional concepts of emotionally religious ignorant minds. The problem with mystical religious concepts is that they could mean anything to anyone, because any religious notion might be better or worse than no religious notion, esp. if that religious notion was not physical in nature. There are various humanly mystical or human mentally minded created metaphysical belief systems which have nothing to do with a divine realm or entity called God or the divine Mind or divine intelligence. All types of human belief systems that have been created by the human brain and mind will sooner or later be dragons tossed into the realm of nothingness.

So, can the human brain and human consciousness be aware of, be conscious of God as a divine spiritual state of consciousness, and of those abstract multi-dimensional spirituality metaphysical laws that are not material, physical? Why not? The human brain and human mind can not physically and materially see, hear, taste, smell, or touch those abstract multi-dimensional spirituality metaphysical laws, just as the human brain and mind can not see, hear, taste, smell, or touch any mentally abstract human laws either. Abstract laws of any nature are invisible abstract mental concepts; not physical or material entities. Those are the facts, the truth. Just as the human mind can be conscious of the invisible and immaterial multi-dimensional laws that had an impact and influenced both the moment of cosmic creation and the development and evolution of the cosmic universe, and of the conditions for life on earth, meaning the creation of the first cell on planet earth, and seemingly endless diversity of biological life up to and including the human brain and human mind and human consciousness; so too, can the human mind and consciousness be conscious any abstract nature of a spiritual, divine God. “And the divine Intelligence said, let there be light to the human mind, to destroy any delusional mental concepts about Ultimate Reality.”



Old and Wrong Religious Consciousness Versus A Spiritual Consciousness:

It seems a bit odd that with all of the new scientific discoveries regarding life on earth, the cosmic universe, and the human brain, along with the subject of consciousness, that all religions of the world would update their religious views to be more intellectually modern instead of relying on what only a few people stated who lived a very, very long time ago. But it is always easier to repeat words that someone else has spoken or written instead of thinking about the deep issues of life and death, and the evils that plague mankind, than having to consciously think and solve modern day problems. Modern day problems can not be solved with old, outdated, worn out religious concepts and notions and practices; like bowing down on all four knees to a humanized unexplainable god somewhere. Praying to a humanized god is so silly, it is preposterous!

The old, outdated, primitive state of emotional mental conceptions of a god or gods up there in other space has long ago been disproved , but its basic effect still lingers as part of the conscious and subconscious of the human brain and consciousness. The problem is that simplistic notions and concepts of a god up there in outer space has to be replaced with a more realistic and probable mental abstract concept of God, which would not be a physical concept of God, because it has also been proven that there is not a biological human god somewhere up there in outer space that has created the biological human race of skin and bones in its image and likeness.

The old primitive religious concept of a physical god must be replaced with a higher and truer spirituality metaphysical and multi-dimensional mental concepts of God as a Divine Intelligence, ( among other idealized qualities, ) an Intelligence which is a state of divine and spiritual self-consciousness, with does not exist in any brain, but which can be thought about by the human brain, and which can and does certainly powerfully influence any state of human consciousness to leave old false religious concepts behind, and learn of new metaphysical and spiritual concepts of God that are not material, but which are spiritual in nature. Would it not make very logical sense that if God is Divine Intelligence which is a realm of divine and spiritual holistic self-consciousness, that this higher dimension of divine self-consciousness would have the power and ability to influence and guide all lower states of consciousness to higher dimensions of consciousness? Even if it took billions of light years? Or millions of human earth years?



The Connection Between GOD, The Divine Intelligence, And The Human Brain: Consciousness.

As it ever occurred to any thinking human brain or mind, why has there been so many different types of brains on planet earth for hundreds of millions of years, maybe longer? And still are! All located in different biological bodies or located within some sort of living biological creature. If, after the very long chain of brain and consciousness development and evolution, meaning after hundreds of millions of years of biological intelligence on earth, is the current human consciousness which is the only transitional biological brain and state of consciousness that is located between any biological body on earth and brain that has asked, or been forced to asked the question, “What is God.” If there is a God, as a state of divine and spiritual self-conscious intelligence, it would seem only natural that it would be powerful enough to enter into the consciousness of any individual lower consciousness that was willing to accept its divine, spiritual nature, and that receptive consciousness is the human consciousness. Could it be that even if other biological animals were touched by this divine, spiritual consciousness, the human brain and mind is better adapted for receiving higher realms of abstract spiritual consciousness?

If old, outdated, and false mental concepts regarding God were replace with newer, and better mental concepts of the Supreme Being, such as a new modern term, Divine Intelligence, or divine Mind, meaning a non-biological, non-human idealized Intelligence which existed before the supposedly Big Bang, or the instant and point of cosmic creation and expansion of the cosmic universe, then this Divine Intelligence would not only have the Intelligence, but the energy and power to force biological life’s development up to the point where not only the biological brain, but the human consciousness too, is able to grasp this realm called Divine Mind or Intelligence as a self-existent intelligent entity or realm separate from the human brain and mind and consciousness; but which can also connect to the human brain and human consciousness to force the human consciousness to mentally conceive and accept the spiritual and non-material and deathless states of consciousness, to perceive higher states of existence, separate from any biological forms; states such as the cosmic universe and even out-of-body experiences, and even an afterlife too. Imagine that, becoming a deathless consciousness before the biological death!

In other words, if this Divine Intelligence was a state of spiritual and divine consciousness, but conscious only of itself as a holistic whole, and knows itself only as a state of intelligent self-consciousness, and not as a material or physical being, than it would only seem logical that this supreme spiritual self-consciousness would not only be able to translate itself to lower states of consciousness, such as the human brain and human consciousness, but it would have the ability to transform and elevate the human consciousness to new states of spiritual consciousness; but only by the tool of consciousness, as states and stages of consciousness. There would be, and is, no other way! And on the material, physical, earthly plane of existence, that would manifest itself as a higher and better states of civilization, as a better human life, with less human evil.

Any truthful and honest thinker could assume that if there is a realm called God that is separate from this cosmic universe, meaning cosmic space and space-time continuum, and separate from any biological brain, meaning the limited general and specific biological senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, and touch; could not this same realm called God influence life on earth to the point, the current point of time when it has forced brain development and consciousness development to the current stage where it forces the human mind and even the human brain to think about God; along with forcing the human mind and human brain to change its mental opinions and mental perceptions about what God is and how it operates? Wrong mental concepts of God have created countless and needless suffering for millions if not billions of people on planet earth. Isn’t it time to change wrong and false mental conceptions and perceptions about God, in order to create a new mental future instead of living in the past? One effect of this change would be less war, esp. in an era of possible nuclear self-annihilation!

If the answer is that no other biological creature on earth, no matter what they can do with their specific brains, has ever asked the question, “What is GOD?”* then the human brain and consciousness must be radically different from all other biological brains for a big reason, after hundreds of millions of years or longer of brain development, and consciousness development, to even ask such a question. The radicalization here is that unique mental abilities to possess not only a different abstract states of consciousness about life on earth and the cosmic universe, along with all of the realms of human intellectualism, music, math, law, etc., but also for human consciousness to jump out of itself, to jump out of a simple biological life form, and explore new realms, and the realm termed God, and even the afterlife, before entering the afterlife. After all, if an individual state of human consciousness touches the realm of a deathless spiritual and divine Intelligence before ‘biological death,’ certainly that would have an impact on the moment of separation from the biological body at the moment of biological death. If the individual human consciousness mutated out of a simple biological life form into spiritual life forms, then death would become obsolete, and life would be eternal. It could be asked why this has happened?

If God is not a physical being, somewhere in outer space or anywhere else, and if God is not a mystical being either, then what are the other logical choices that the human brain and human consciousness is left with, from the human standpoint? What if God could be understood through a multi-dimensional structure of laws, which are abstract in nature, but abstract enough that the human mind could understand the laws of God in a multi-dimensional consciousness, which if translated down to the human brain and human mind and human consciousness, would allow the human consciousness to ponder and even become at one with those multi-dimensional laws; mentally, but not physically? Could this not be the real reason and purpose for the human brain and human consciousness, to be able to understand abstract mental and spiritual realms?

If there is a God that created the cosmic process all the way to the point of the human brain and human consciousness, both which can have the ability to understand human abstracts topics, then that same God, or Divine Mind or Intelligence would also possess the ability to force the human consciousness to understand the abstract nature of spiritual laws in a multi-dimensional nature too. In reality, this is not a new concept, because spiritual thinkers in many eras have written about spiritual laws in many forms, like the stories in the Bible, using different symbolisms adapted to the age in which they were written. The Bible was never written to be a history book, but to be a very long chain of metaphysical and spiritual teachings and lessons!



Biblical Analogies: The First and Six Day of Creation in Genesis:

The first day of creation:

“And God said there be light.” A statement and sentence at the beginning of the Bible. But what does it truly mean? Here is a hint. In the fourth day of the Bible, it is stated that “God created the sun, moon, and stars.” Now what is the difference between the light of the first day and the light from the sun, moon, and stars? The reason the inspired writers used that first and fourth day in that manner was to illustrate the difference between the mental light or mental intelligence, and creative thinking, spiritual ideas, etc. versus the material light from the sun, the moon, and the stars, and any other light, such as from light bulbs, etc. The first chapter of Genesis is a creation of spiritual and metaphysical ideas, and not of a material or physical creation.

The six day of creation:

Many Bible students who have ever studied the first chapter of Genesis will recall the phrase regarding the passages of God creating man in the image and likeness of himself. The problem with that biblical passage is the word man is an English word, but not the original word or the original meaning. But it is falsely believed that those passages refer to a human material or physical God who created human beings in the likeness and image of God. What a silly notion! God does not have skin and bones, and no God of skin and bones has ever been discovered, has ever existed, nor will it ever be found. If God was made up of skin and bones, it would only seem very logical that it would appear to save humanity from it own self-destruction, but that is not going to happen because that is just an emotional and very ridiculous lazy religious belief regarding a humanized God; a God that is not a human biological being. Anyone who believes that God is a human biological being is a delusional emotional religionist. Pure and simple!

What those symbolic passages truly mean, and were written to mean, is that the realm of God as a divine state of spiritual intelligence which is consciousness of itself as a whole; and that holistic divine spiritual self-consciousness is man in God’s own image and likeness. That realm is not conscious of any human evil. The people who wrote those passages used a simple language and simple symbols to communicate to their people that God is conscious of itself as a spiritual and divine perfect whole; and that divine and spiritual holistic self-awareness is the divine and spiritual man. A sinning, killing, murderous, sex crazed human being, which the Adam and Eve story, is not man created in God’s image and likeness.

As a matter of fact, those biblical passages and the truthful and spiritual metaphysical meaning and interpretation behind them destroy the belief that the killing, murderous, sinning, sex crazed human being is the image and likeness of God, but the exact opposite. A true man is conscious of God as a state of self-consciousness which is totally free of all human evil. In other words, there is no realm of God that creates human evil. Not ever! And those are divine metaphysical facts, whether anyone cares to understand and accept that truth; or not.



The Human and Divine Jesus: A Multi-Dimensional Human Consciousness:

In an age of zero technology, there once lived a man on earth who demonstrated this concept of a multi-dimensional human being. That human man who possessed skin and bones, but who also possessed the spiritual and divine consciousness that God was Spirit, and not evil. That human was Jesus the Christ, who possessed a biological body for part of his human life, who also possessed a human brain, but who also possess the spiritual and divine consciousness termed the Christ Consciousness. Now then, most, if not all so-called Christian religionists believe that Jesus’s human biological body was God in the flesh. But really, how foolish is that notion? It could be truthfully stated that Jesus was the pre-modern multi-dimensional human being who possessed the metaphysical spiritual and divine understanding within his consciousness, which he demonstrated in various ways, while he was standing on earth.

Now most modern day Christians who are not biblical scholars do not understand or know that the four gospels were written about 60-90 years after Jesus lived. Which means that his message and his life had to be prolonged and extended into the future mainly by word of mouth, and probably partly written. Which leaves many questions open to true thinker and scholars. One message was that he overcame death, and he knew why and how he could and would overcome death. Which was by being consciously aware of his true spiritual self-hood, or spiritual identity, called or termed the Christ Consciousness, which would manifest or demonstrate itself in his human life, in different ways: one being having biologically died and then he returned with the same biological body, coming back from the dead as a living biological form. That is the biggest ‘miracle’ which he demonstrated, but not because he was God. A claim he never made, even though so-called Christians love stating he did, and which if they believe that notion, will win them into heaven, even as they continue to be ‘sinners’ on earth. The main point here is that this sense of a multi-dimensional human being is not really a new concept.

In today’s world, that concept of a multi-dimensional human being should be such a common reality that it should be a no brainier. Human beings possess human biological bodies, yet each can possess different states and stages of a general psychological consciousness and moreover each human brain and mind can possess specific abstract consciousness relating to any intellectual field of a non-biological abstract states of consciousness. Some human brain and mind possess a metaphysical consciousness and others human beings possess an ever higher state of consciousness that a metaphysical consciousness. So the notion that a human being could possess an abstract spiritual consciousness while still possessing a human biological body of skin, bones, blood, and a brain, should seem to be not only possible, but also natural indeed. That would imply that every human being on earth should be able to possess a multi-dimensional consciousness as their human and divine identity, irregardless of their skin color, their age, their sex, their culture, nationality, education, or financial status. Imagine what kind of world that would exist if every human being grasped this simple but very profound concept?

The connection between God and the human brain and human mind and consciousness is that abstract divine and spiritual metaphysical truths can be understood, even by the human brain and human consciousness because the modern day human brain has the unique ability to consciously understand all abstract realms of human intellectualism, the cosmic universe, and even the realm of God; if only within a small faction of what is truly the realm of God is as an infinite whole. But it has been stated that, “God can never be understood as a whole, otherwise human beings would be bigger than God.” John W. Doorly.

For the human race to continue on its never seemingly endless coarse of self-destruction, in so many ways and forms and possibilities, is not the only path that the human race needs or must has to take. It has been stated that everything is a state of consciousness, ( Max Kappeler ) and the individual and collective human consciousness must change its values regarding so many issues, esp. its nature to go to war to kill other human beings, to solve problems. If there is no god of war, and then the cosmic and divine purpose of the human species is to be war-less, to use its intellectual abilities to solve its problems without nuclear weapons, and to stop killing innocent human beings. If the human brain and human mind can understand atomic, nuclear, and quantum processes and operations, it better begin to understand the higher metaphysically spiritual nature of the human species, in order to create a higher human species, before it is to late.



A New Concept of Man: A New Concept of The Human Species:

The human species lives in a profoundly new and different era compared to its not so long ago historical past. The old biological human monkey is disappearing; partly anyway. A new age of information and of intelligence and knowledge, etc., has dawned on mankind; an informational age of knowledge. Which new and different states of human consciousness regarding so many individual and holistic facets of human life, cosmic life, and beyond. That means that what is more important now than ever, is the mental conscious states of the human mind, versus the simple biological state of the human biological body. It can not be denied that the human biological body is smaller and weaker than so many previous and even currently biological bodies that have roamed planet earth. It has been stated that even the human DNA is only slightly different from even a mouse or a chicken. In other words, the human biological body is very similar to other biological bodies, no matter what those other biological bodies look like.

Therefore, the huge difference between all other biological creatures and species, and the human biological creature or species, is that the human race possesses different structures and states of consciousness, even if it started in the biological human brain. Even if it took millions of years or longer for this current state and stage of human brain and consciousness development, for the current state of human abstract intellectualism, to probe the mysteries of the human brain, the human consciousness, the cosmos or cosmic universe, even the invisible realm of metaphysical spiritual reality, which includes the afterlife, and a true spiritual life too.

The biggest problem the human race is facing is that the human race is on the brink of self-destruction. Pure and simple! For so many reasons. Part of the problem, a main problem, is that some of the human race possesses a wrong biological self-consciousness that it believes that it is the image of a spiritual God; when in fact, the human biological is not the image and likeness of God, at all. And God, whatever it is, is not a biological body. And those who do not believe it, act like they are God, because human intellectualism has produced and created so many new mental forms of life and of ideas and materialism, that it truly misses many important factors; factors that are outside the human mind’s system frame of reference, meaning any mental observation. In an age of materialistic atomic and nuclear knowledge, where the whole human race is becoming more and more dependent on nuclear energy, for good reasons, but also for terrible purposes, there has to be a new and modern standard, a new model, a new identity, of what constitutes the human species, individually and collectively; what values are located in the individual and collective consciousness? Is the human race going to continue to hate each other because of skin color, or because of different cultures, or because of different politics, or because the separation of countries and continents by oceans and seas, or for any other reason?

Or is mankind, meaning the human species, going to elevate itself to a new standard of what it means to both, an individual human being, for the billions of human beings on planet earth, and therefore for the collective human race as a whole? Or is mankind, going to continue the animalistic, the nationalistic fighting, which might one day lead to a nuclear war?

If mankind, meaning the human species, individually and collectively possessed a higher state of consciousness of what it means to be a human being, from both a cosmic and divine purpose and goal, then the threat of nuclear war, meaning nuclear self-annihilation of the human species and all life on planet earth would slowly come to a halt. Then, mankind would be able to continue its exploration into the cosmos, into the after-life, and into the realm of the Mind of God!

In one very simple sense, mankind has only three choices for each individual and collective identity. One is purely animistic biological, meaning skin and bones and blood. The second a mixture of a biological body and a complex brain with purely humanly abstract intellectual mental states of existence. The third is the addition and goal of a spiritual consciousness which when reflected and made manifest in the human existence, produces higher and better human qualities in all areas of life and living, in all levels of the psychological and mental realms and the biological realms too: better governments, better society, better economics, better international politics and relationships. Maybe more importantly here, better communication among the human species. After all, the human species possess the highest degree and skill of communication since the beginning of life on earth. It needs to learn how to communicate more to solve global problems instead of making threats of nuclear war.

If the human species continues to be animistic war hungry creatures, the end result will not be as good and productive as by peaceful mean? How many innocent human beings have been murdered and killed by weapons of war throughout human history? When will that murder and killing of innocent human beings end, by trying to solve abstract mental global valued problems and issues with weapons of words and ideas, instead of weapons of war? When will the human species become a peaceful spiritual state of consciousness which knows no hate, no death, no war, no sense of self-destruction of any kind? A new consciousness must start with each individual human being, with each individual human mind and consciousness, then to the collective human consciousness. Consciousness is the gift of life from the Supreme Being, and of the cosmic universe too. Therefore, consciousness of the Supreme Being is the answer for mankind’s future survival! Even if some human minds do not believe that statement, they can not deny that the human consciousness, with its special abilities, functions, and operations, is indeed a special state of consciousness, located on a small planet earth, in a very huge, and expanding cosmic universe.

And if the human species destroys itself, in whatever way, the cosmic universe will continue on, and so will other life forms that are alive in it, and so will the Supreme Being, whatever it is. But there is no reason to waste such a human life form, and all life on earth, after billions of cosmic light years evolution and development, and after hundreds of millions of years, (maybe longer) of biological and brain development. For the human species to destroy itself, in whatever form or method, would not only be a total earthy human catastrophe, but possibly the greatest sin against both the cosmic universe, and the Creator of the Big Bang, or whatever started the whole process for both the cosmic universe, and for life on earth, and for the thinking human brain, and the human consciousness; a consciousness that can connect to the Mind of God!

Consciousness: and The Issues of Life and Death, and The Afterlife! An Eternal Consciousness in an Eternal Life! By: Mr. George D. Patnoe., Jr!

Lecture Two (2011)   By: Mr. George D. Patnoe., Jr!

Consciousness: and The Issues of Life and Death; And The Afterlife! 
An Eternal Consciousness in an Eternal Life!

(Metaphysical Concepts Applied to Life and Death; And The Afterlife.)


Since the beginning of the observable cosmic universe, from the smallest atomic particle, to the biggest galaxy; since the beginning of life on planet earth, from the simplest and tiniest cellular cell in the oceans and seas, to the biggest dinosaur, to the biggest, toughest, strongest, and even smartest human being on earth, the issues of life and death have been an unavoidable experience for everything involved in the endless cycles of all of the various life forms, breathing or not breathing. It could be asked, and it should be asked in the modern age of new knowledge, new information, and new discoveries about life itself, meaning new states and levels of intelligence, and new and different states of consciousness about life on earth, can the old biological concept of life, the biological consciousness of life, and death, be changed to an eternal spiritual consciousness of eternal life, independent of all religious doctrines and theories?

In the current modern age of new and advanced knowledge and information, meaning higher levels of intelligence, where the collective human mind, but more specifically, individual minds are becoming more and more conscious new realms of life by studying and researching so many topics about life, especially mentally abstract topics; everything from how the brain operates, and the subject of what exactly is consciousness and life, to building bigger and more complex telescopes to view the external cosmic universe, meaning discovering new views and different dimensions of cosmic space and time, which are separate from the realm of space and time within the human mind, meaning withing the human consciousness, but both of which could be only dreamy states of temporary existence; to studying the very tiny cell in the human body, even to the point of cloning the human body and mastering the DNA; to studying all life on earth and their processes, and even searching for life in outer space; it is no wonder that one of the seemingly most mysterious and unavoidable mysteries of life, namely death or the seemingly end of life, is rarely, if ever discussed. Not to mention the afterlife!

Instead, the concept of death is trapped and stuck in the mind as an invisible boggle man who is simply out there somewhere, waiting to bait every living creature on earth, as a fisherman who is luring each fish into the grave of life outside the water. Moreover, many individual human minds are influenced by outdated emotional religious concepts, in one way or another, with fanciful religious and emotional childlike dreams about what may happen to them when they breath their last breathe. In other words, most people live their lives subconsciously knowing that their deaths will arrive someday, with a subconscious wishy-washy dreamy expectation that some part of who they are as a human being, might go to some place special, like a place called heaven, or to a bad place, like a place called hell, which by the way, have never been seen by any of the various types of modern day, powerful telescopes. This point is made because most people do not realize that the old concepts of heaven and hell were human conceptions a very long ago. Or some human beings simply believe that their biological bodies will simply be buried six feet under the ground, or be burned to ashes, which of course is the old caveman concept of life and death, just at the other animals view perceive life and death, as a purely biological state of life, and death, within each state of individual and collective consciousness. The issue of whether an identity of a human being is more than just a biological body is very important. Whether each individual state of consciousness is more of an identity than a biological body is an important issue for the issue of an afterlife.

Therefore, for many very primitive individual human minds, and for the collective human mind, meaning for most primitive states of the human consciousness, either those who lived very long ago, or for those who live in the current age of advanced information, knowledge, and intelligence too, the concepts of life and death are still perceived with the very simplest mental perceptions, and with the very simple mental models which the caveman had perceived the issue of life and death, while they roamed on planet earth, and while they also survived for so long, for so many years, with very their primitive brains and states of consciousness, and with their very primitive tools, and with very limited mental perceptions of intelligence and knowledge and information of what life is on earth, and in the cosmic universe, and but especially within the mind. With that being stated, credit should truly be given to pre-human beings, and pre-modern human beings for their survival instincts, and for their long lasting longevity, heritage, and legacy to the evolutionary process that we call life as a human species, on planet earth.

However, it has been millions of years, and hundreds of thousands of years, and tens of thousands of years, or some where in between, since those early caveman and early primitive human beings roamed and lived on earth; and that of the current modern day humans who now have different brains, along with different states of knowledge, information, and intelligence, but who also possess different states of consciousness than those pre-modern human species and early human beings who lived not that long ago. That is true even if in many ways we still possess a biological connection to the past, but the fact remains, that new modern mental models, with new conceptions and new perceptions of life should lead to new mental perceptions of life and death too. Even to the possibility of an afterlife!

In one sense, modern day human beings remain connected to the historical past by way of the similar biological body, and the similar biological processes that happen within the biological body, such as the biological eyes, and ears, and heart and lungs, and all of the basic operations that any biological body of any epic have been connected in some ways, but not in other ways. The simple differences regarding the very simplistic views of life and death from not so long ago, to the current modern age should be analyzed to understand why and how the views and perceptions regarding a life and death consciousness has evolved over the years to the current stage of mental development, and to the current state of human consciousness.

If we look back throughout history, the mental view and mental model, or state of consciousness that most of the any biological animal species, including the cavemen and most of the people that proceeded them, possessed a simplistic state of consciousness regarding life and death as their sole mental concept of what life is, and what death it too. Namely, namely the life in the biological form, a biological life with some simple or complex brain attributes that are differentiated among each animal species, as what is required for each specific biological species to survive, for as long as possible. In other words, the main goal of both the biological brain and body was to eat food, avoid being killed, only to die sometime, somehow, in some way.

Some archaeological findings have suggested that the earliest cavemen roamed the earth with no thought about dying and death. In other words, they were not truly conscious of death as an actually event; because they were living in an undeveloped conscious state of mind, a simplistic state of consciousness, similar to children who live happily if they are not exposed to killing, murder, dying, and death, such as during a world war, or lately by watching the wrong television shows. So they simply left their dying and dead fellow cavemen to die, and to be eaten by other animals or to rut in the hot sun, or to freeze in the cold ice. In other words, their simple brains and their simple state of consciousness were more a robotic biological life form than any sense of an advance state of a higher, more advanced state of intelligent consciousness. That mental condition probably existed in many life forms throughout life on earth, and still do, while at the same time there were life forms that were aware of the difference of staying alive, versus not being alive.

But at some point in time, in history, at some point in the development of consciousness within the caveman’s mind, the cave people became aware that their fellow cave people were dying or had died, and therefore were no longer alive. In other words, they were conscious that their biological life had ended, that their biological body had stopped moving. They became aware that the biological body was disposable. The primitive cave mind did not possess an advance understanding of biological life, of plant life, of cosmic life, (meaning they possessed a very simplistic consciousness), while at some time, they began burial practices and even rituals for those who had biologically died. In other words, they began to treasure not only the biological life of their fellow caveman, but they began to treasure life itself; even the limited biological life.

Therefore, some where along their historical time line, their minds, their consciousness, began to ignite a spark of preciousness with regard to their dying and their dead with a sense of lost and sorrow; grief or lost of love; just as people still do today, in all the various cultural burial rituals around the world. In short, they possessed a consciousness of a biological life and a biological death, but also a deeper, more profound sense of life and living. But they still possessed a very simplistic concept of life, and of death too! But they still possessed a very simple state of consciousness, even with an underdeveloped brain! Compared to today’s standards of brain and consciousness development. But they had risen a bit up the scale of awareness.

But now death and dying possessed meaning, even if it was not understood, at all. And so did the biological concept called life, even if it was not understood either. Then the realities of life and death, as external realities became part of their very limited consciousness and self-awareness, and also as a way of life, up to the present day. That meant that when the cave people were aware that they would die, it could be again safe to assume that they then tried to avoid dying and death as much as possible, just as animals and modern day humans try to avoid death and dying today. To live as long as possible became a goal for the individual and the collective species.

Modern day humans walk on two feet just as the cavemen once did, all trying or not trying to avoid death, all trying to live as long a life as possible, sometimes within a life without human suffering, but sometimes with much suffering. Just as the animals do, at least most of them. The goal of not being eaten by other creatures seems to have been past down from generation to generation, it is in all living creature’s nature. Everyone knows they definitely know they do not want to die, that they try to avoid death, or being killed. They know that they want to live, to remain alive. Even the animals possess a simplistic concept of life and death, even if they do not possess the exact consciousness as human beings. A simple goal. Live as long as possible. Do not be killed. Do not die.

Most modern day human beings, with their different brains and human minds, still possess a very simplistic caveman type of consciousness regarding life and death, even if they live in an age of advanced technology: fast cars and fast food, portable phone and computers, etc

On the other hand, there are other human beings, or human minds that possess new conscious understanding of how biological life operates, how all earthly life operates, how the human brain operates, even how the cosmic universe operates, (at least partly), but definitely better than all previous creatures, cavemen, and human beings that lived before them. But the issue of what consciousness is, how it has developed, and how it relates to death, goes un answered.

In other words, there are now currently different conscious states and levels of knowledge and information that relate to the different aspects of life, and how those various states of life operate, which means there are different states of consciousness regarding life too, states of consciousness that are usually more complex than the simplistic concept of death. That means that different states of human consciousness (s) conceive and perceptive life on earth and in the mind very differently than the simplistic animals and cavemen, and even some modern day human minds too.

On one very basic level, animalistic mental perceptions about life and death, which most animals and human beings perceive themselves to be as only biological bodies with a brain, and nothing else, are still the common model of consciousness relating to life and death. That applies to the most developed brain on earth, even if those developed brains use their brains for such abstract topics such as mathematics or music or economics or building space ships and computers, or even to understand very abstract laws regarding any subject itself. An act that the cavemen and other animals can not do. In a very real sense, the current modern day human brain and human mind possesses the very unique ability to jump out of itself to understand the external and even internal various realms of life, whether biological, cosmic, or mental. There are different mental models and mental perceptions and conceptions regarding both the various aspects of life, but usually the topic of death remains what it seems to be to all living creatures, an invisible monster that is ready to trap any creature it can into the dark void of nothingness. But is this really the case?

Most human beings still identify themselves solely with their biological bodies of skin, bones, and blood, etc., as their sole and only sense of self, of their only sense of identity, of who they are as a person, as an individual life. So when those people assume that when their biological bodies stop moving, they are dead, they disappear into a state of absolute nothingness, because they watch and feel their own biological bodies wearing away through the various stages of biological life while living on earth. They also watch other biological bodies being buried in the ground, or burn into ashes, so they also assume that they, meaning their individual identity, will also be will be buried in the ground or it will be incinerated by the very hot heat of a flame until they are burnt up in smoke and ash. Kind of scary too. To live a complete life, only to go into a state of nothingness. How absurd! An living individual lives a life only to become a state of nothingness. The almost seems a ridiculous cosmic joke. But is it true? Is it real? Are there other possibilities other than a state called nothingness after the biological death?

What is the problem and what are the other issues related to this view regarding an individual self-awareness that is conscious of death, or an end of life, or a state of so-called nothingness? What are the main problems with human beings solely identifying themselves solely as a biological body instead of identifying themselves with their individual state of consciousness, regarding the issue and question of a personal egotistical identity? Some human beings identity themselves solely with their biological body, while other human beings realize that what values, qualities, and even memories, etc. play a much bigger role for their individual identity. This is especially true after the human biological body usually becomes secondary to the psychological mental make up of any human being, even as the human biological body goes through its stages of living. To be conscious of a biological human body is very different than being conscious of one’s individual self-consciousness, of what qualities that are deeply hidden within an individual human being’s human mind.

When does the individual human identity as a self becomes more than the biological human body, and more connected with their individual human mind consciousness, as a separate entity, as a state of an individualized consciousness? When does a human being become more mental than a physical, biological entity? When does an individual human being become more a state of consciousness than a biological body? Maybe for most human beings, those questions are not important at all, but for other human beings, their states of mind, of memories, emotions, values systems, dreams, and even fantasies can be more real, and more disturbing, and more important than their biological body.

Human beings normally identify themselves with their biological body more than their mind or consciousness, because they are born into it, they live with it, every second of their human lives. They have to feed it food, and they have to wash it, and clothe it, and take care of it, drive it around in a car, or in an airplane, etc. They see and hear with biological eyes and ears. And in plain terms, the biological body seems to be very solid, even for the most trained atomist. The human biological body lives on earth, and there are billions more human biological bodies on earth. The human biological body looks cute when it is a baby, then it grows bigger, and then it has its problems, esp. in old age. The international economy is largely based on taking care of the human biological body, in one way or another, while some religions try to save the human soul, in one way or another; but can a religion save a soul from death, or from the belief in a state of nothingness after the biological body stops moving? Some one needs to save the human race and the human soul from false religions. ( A different lecture for the future. )

But underneath the human skull, is a complex structure termed a brain. And within that brain, are states of consciousness, even if they are not fully understood, yet. Some brains are simple, other more complex and developed. With all due consideration, the modern day brain functions in many ways as the animal brain, but it also can accomplice many advanced tasks of abstract reasoning like rational thought, especially for dealing with all of modern day issues, economic and political, mathematical and musical, which include using the brain to use symbols for writing mathematical and musical symbols on paper for other human brains to read. But maybe even more importantly, it can think about philosophical and metaphysical issues such what is a person, what is a human being, what is an individual human self, what is God, what exactly is life in the first place. And if there is an afterlife, what exactly is it? Could an afterlife be located within a different state of consciousness, external to the brain, such as an astral consciousness, or a spiritual consciousness? In other words, “Is consciousness the key to the afterlife?” Is the human consciousness the only human quality that survives death of the body? An external state of consciousness which is separate from, but can be connected to the human brain; if it is understood.

Is a human being only a biological body with a brain inside a skull, with the ability to think and feel and to understand various intellectual areas of abstract awareness. Or is a human being more than all of that? That is a metaphysical question. The human brain and human mind seems to be a world all within itself, in a real sense, a separate entity from that of the human body, although they are obviously connected to each other. A brain and a mind that can remember the past, live in the present, while it perceives mentally into the future. Seeing and then planning for the future. A mental act that the human brain can do better than the other animal brains on earth, if the other brains on earth can perceive the future at all. Can the individual and collective human consciousness plan for a possible afterlife? In regards to death and dying, what are some of the differences between the purely animalistic consciousness and the human consciousness, even a deathless spiritual consciousness? Even if other animals felt as if they were dying, could they plan for their death? Do human beings plan the same way? With unbiased acceptance. Or is there a different answer?

In other words, what is the difference between the human consciousness of life, compared to the other creature’s state of consciousness while on earth? In many ways, the human brain and the animal brain are identical, but there are differences, one of which is abstract thinking and abstract conceptional rationalizing. What does that mean for the issue of the consciousness of life and death, and the afterlife? Can the human brain, and the human mind use abstract conceptional rationalizing to mentally perceive a new possibility to answer the most simplest question considering death ...which is... Could there be more to death than a state of nothingness?

Even if certain animal brains realized that their fellow buddies are dying or are dead or are killed in the fields of hunting, of fight or flight, of kill or be killed, what do they truly know, understand, about life and about living? As a definite state of consciousness? For millions of earth years, each animal species has remained constant, for as long as it could remain alive as a species; each animal or insect, or what ever species it may be. A tiger is always going to be a tiger, even after millions of years of longevity. A tiger’s sense of a self-consciousness is always going to remain a tiger consciousness. The tiger’s brain and consciousness can only develop to a certain point because its consciousness is aware of its body, life on earth, and of the basic functions of surviving. Not so for a human brain and the human consciousness.

Why? Because the human brain and the human consciousness have the very unique ability to mentally conceptualize all of the various mental areas of abstract reasoning, from math and music, to economics and politics, to the laws and structures of the universe, even the laws and structures of the amazing light wave. The human consciousness can literally mentally conceive and perceive in an afterlife. But does that ability make the afterlife real? In one real sense, the human mind can jump out of itself, to mentally investigate different aspects of life, and even death, which in turn helps to change the human mind’s perception of life too. The animal brain and consciousness will never be able to understand how and why a light wave works, nor will it be able to control it with controlled experiments, nor will it be able to make the tools and instruments to do such controlled experiments. The human brain and consciousness is completely different in that it can understand, manipulate, and use light waves and the laws behind them. What about understanding the laws of a spiritual life, of an eternal life, or an eternal state of consciousness? Of a deathless spiritual consciousness! The abstract laws of consciousness.

But for the sake of argument, lets state that a tiger’s brain has been changed over millions of years of longevity. How has it changed? Compared to the human brain, and human consciousness and its level of abstract reasoning, and its different states of abstract intelligence, and abstract conceptualizing, can a tiger’s mind preform math or music, or understand math or music, or understand how a light wave works its magic throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, or the abstract laws of the simplest laws of physics, economics, ...not to mention consciousness? The answer would be in the negative, even if they did possess some pensive moments while they roam the jungle, it could be very safe to state and assume that they do not, nor will ever compare to the human brain, and human mind’s unique ability to mentality conceptualize ‘invisible’ realms of abstract thinking, and different levels of abstract reality, such as the cosmic universe, nor a spiritual reality, and then be able to express themselves by way of symbols on paper and also in the mind. Common sense, some readers might state. What has those facts have to do with the consciousness of life and death?

Can a tiger or any other biological brain and consciousness conceive and perceive any other possibility other than a biological life? If yes, they can not express it, even if they too, experience an afterlife. If no, then the human brain and human consciousness, which is supposed to possess the ability to understand what the biological eye can not see, nor what the biological human ear can not hear, should be able to possess the ability to comprehend other possibilities to the issues of life and death too, even to begin to understand a new metaphysical and spiritual state of life, as a state of eternal consciousness.

This animalistic tiger essence of mental limitations probably still applies to most of the human race, even to the hopeful emotional religious thought, just as it has applied to most of the human race, at least in this current moment in history, and within the current state of collective human consciousness. But the human consciousness is constantly changing and transforming into new forms of mental perceptions regarding what reality truly is, both inside and outside the human mind’s very limited perceptions of reality. Ask any quantum physicist about their mental model of reality, and it will be very different than what the average, common human mind mentally perceives as reality.

Currently, most human beings still possess a state of mental development that is still very primitive, and in some cases, even animalistic. That means, never having developed higher states of abstract reasoning about anything at all; which includes higher states of mental perceptions, which included new and different states of consciousness. And for the most part, they do not care about developing the many and varied skills of an advanced abstract human mind, with mental models regarding anything at all. And they hope they will never have to develop their brain, or their mind, nor their individual self-consciousness in any way whatsoever. In short, they are very happy with seeing only with their biological eyes and listening with their biological ears, and using their hands to work, and put food in their mouths, and to drive their cars or trucks and boats, and to play all of the other games that humans play to keep themselves, and the local and international economy, happy.

On the other hand, there are those individual brains and minds that do use the higher abstract thinking, and mental realms of mental perception and reasoning for abstract thought regarding many different topics, mostly which are human minded in nature. In short order, the human mind tries to understand its own mysteries, and the mysteries of the cosmic universe, and of life and death, and even the possibility of an afterlife. The possibility of an afterlife, in one form or another, is a mental conception that human beings can think about, openly talk about, try to express, and more importantly, prepare for if they wish to prepare for a different state of life.

But it can not be accomplished with a biological state of consciousness. A completely different state of consciousness, an immaterial and spiritual consciousness is needed to consciously overcome a biological death. Some thinkers have stated that only a spiritual consciousness can overcome a biological sense of life and death. Overcoming death can only be accomplished within consciousness itself. There is no other answer! Therefore, the consciousness of a possible afterlife can be located within the individual self-consciousness of many individual minds all around the globe, in all cultures and on all continents. That has an influence on the collective human consciousness in general. But what if a spiritual consciousness was gained? A spiritual consciousness which knows nothing of death, or even of a biological death whatsoever!

In one real sense, the individual self-consciousness is connected to the collective human consciousness in which it exists, like a spider’s web of interconnections. So therefore, it does not matter what the human biological body looks like, if billions of human minds can understand more about life than the biological life, perceiving more and more about a different state of life in the afterlife, then the individual human self-consciousness will also be touched by this mental atmosphere too, whether they know it or not, or whether they accept it or not. This is true in other areas of the human mind’s perception of existence too. But does this new mental awareness of a possible afterlife make it a definite reality?

Another example is how the human mind viewed the external cosmic universe up to around 400 years ago is so different than how the human mind views the cosmic universe today. The comic universe was mentally viewed with very limited and false mental conceptions. Today, even the most simple minded human mind can know that the earth rotates around the sun, and not the other way around. Today, even the most simple minded human mind can know that there are billions of galaxies located throughout cosmic space, even if those simple human minds do not know or understand the cosmic universe, nor want to know all of the details concerning all of the up to date modern views regarding the cosmic universe. This change regarding the new views of the cosmic universe can also be applied to new views regarding the afterlife. The afterlife can not be seen with the human biological eye, but it can be seen with a new state of consciousness, with a new mental perception of life, with a new mental model.

This also applies to how the human mind views the different aspects of earthly life too. Today, the human mind understands many different physical and material processes that it did not understand centuries ago. DNA, chemistry, the atomic universe, weather patterns, how viruses are spread from place to place, and how plant life lives, and how it own biological body operates, esp. all of the internal organs. In other words, the general human mind has somewhat risen out of total ignorance regarding so many areas of life, while it still remains ignorant of the unavoidable moment of death. Which still remains a total mystery to most of the human race, including those emotional religionists who believe in outdated and outmoded fanciful concepts of God, but also to what happens to each individual at the moment of their biological death.

Why should this be? After all, if the human mind is exploring every aspect of life from the smallest ‘atom’ and smallest micro-cellular realms of existence to every possible aspect of the comic universe, and also how the human material brain works and operates, and then even deeper still to trying to analyze dreams, and the sub-conscious mind or consciousness, why not begin to truly analyze the dilemma of death, and the possibility that there is a part of each human being that lives on after their biological death. The only thing that could live on is their individual state of consciousness, and what qualities are in it. There can not be any other answer! Even if the biological body was transformed at the moment of death into a different body, it would still happen within consciousness. That is true even for the most materialistic mentally.

Now, after millions of years of biological evolution, and then devolution of the biological body, from the dinosaurs, to the human body, and then to the more important issue of the evolution of consciousness, up to and including the present age, there has been this simple mental mode or concept that life only exists in a biological body, no matter what that biological body may look like; a fish, a frog, a cow, a dinosaur, a dog or cat or bird, or caveman, or a human biological body. Most people collectively believe, conceive, expect, that when their biological body stops moving, that they are dead, gone into a state of absolute nothingness, with no hope of any other possibility. The issues of life and death can only be tackled and handle within consciousness, and new forms of consciousness are needed for the modern day human race, and esp. for the futuristic human race.

There truly is no other real answer to the issues of life and death. Why? Because for one reason, if the state of individual consciousness is not purely biological, then it could survive the moment of a biological death. Because even as life on earth continues, after the biological death of each human being, a living consciousness, as a life form continues in other realms of existence, in other universes that are even more immaterial than the current cosmic universe. Even now, there is talk of multi-universes and parallel universes by astrophysicists, etc., because they are mentally perceiving that the current cosmic universe that is seen with the human biological eye is very different from what even they, the so-called exerts, perceive it to be compared to what was mentally perceived with the biological human eye not so long ago, because of advanced information and knowledge.

Of course, there are those emotional religious minds that wander throughout their individual human lives hoping that they will become part of a religious heavenly atmosphere somewhere in outer space, or they are going to avoid an imaginative hellish fire, which is so true of individual minds who have never taken the time to bother studying the new discoveries of astrophysics, nor who became true scholars of books like the Bible, but who remain stuck within states of mental ignorance and states of limited mental conceptions and perceptions regarding life, death, and the afterlife. With the combination by using deductive reasoning, logic, new knowledge and information about all the various areas of life on earth, the cosmic universe, and the ‘invisible’ state called consciousness, the human race should come to a very definite mental conclusion that no telescope has yet discovered a heaven or hell up there in outer space. A heaven and a hell that was created by human beings who did not understand what was up there in outer space. But if a heaven and hell does exist, they would have to exist in a completely different realm (s) than what the human biological eye can see and behold.

That true statement alone should make all of those emotional religious minds blink, and hesitate at their own ignorance, and then spin around until they decide to accept different conclusions regarding the afterlife. The emotional religious mind needs to snap out of its mental delusions of what is or what is not up there in outer space, away from the planet earth, in the vast arena termed the cosmic universe. The emotional religious mind also needs to discover what the metaphysical concept of consciousness implies for the afterlife. Which of course only proves and demonstrates that there are still certain minds that want to live in their limited ignorant mental perceptions regarding any emotional religion, and in their ignorance of what is up there in the cosmic universe, and in the afterlife. These religious minds repeat religious words without ever realizing that simply repeating words is not preparing them for the afterlife.

Of course, the problem with that statement is that even the people who study the cosmic universe also do not have the answers regarding life and death because they are simply viewing, and perceiving the external cosmic universe with their limited human minds and brains and with very powerful telescopes and with their limited human conceptions regarding the cosmic universe. And if anything is true, it is this. There will always be ‘supernatural’ phenomena that the general and individual human mind will never be able to perceive, nor understand, eps. by the limited human brain. If there is an afterlife, how could the normal human brain and human mind ever see it? If the everyday human mind and brain ever truly saw the afterlife, how would that change the human race, and the robotic human religious mind?

So even though there are certain individual minds who study the cosmic universe, and who will stand in awe of the stars, galaxies, and the holistic universe and its development from the Big Bang up to its current state of existence, they too, still consider themselves solely biological bodies with limited brains, even if their individual awareness and mental perceptions of the cosmic universe are completely different than the visual simple white dots in the black night sky perception of the human mind up until 400 years ago. So even the physical scientists do not really deal with the subject of death; even though they probably wonder about it too.

Just as the caveman began to comprehend that their fellow cavemen were dead, and they started to experience feelings and emotions related to their dead, so too can the modern mind become aware of something external to itself, such as being aware of the external cosmic universe, sometimes termed a cosmic consciousness, it can now become truly aware of an external afterlife, even with a different form of consciousness. It could be hypothesized that once the human mind started to become not only aware of the stars as white spots in the dark night sky and then once the human mind actually began to view the cosmic universe with high power telescopes, and radio waves, and then to truly understand the heavenly sky, and then to travel into outer space by way of space ships, it could hardly be denied that the human consciousness was changed forever. Instead of being trapped on earth, both physically and mentally, it now possess a truer mental conception of the cosmic universe, thereby setting the human spirit free in the imagination, within the mind, but also to set the mind free from total ignorance about where the earth is in relation to the sun, but also setting the human mind and spirit free from the limitations of being trapped on earth by the physical biological body too!

Not only was consciousness changed from ignorance to a different level of enlightenment regarding the cosmic universe, but the human consciousness was changed with the possibility of greater possibly of a new and different states of self-consciousness, (in this case, a cosmic consciousness) which meant it could change into other forms or states of consciousness too; by expanding, mutating, changing, and understandingly transforming an old ignorant limited awareness into different state of cosmic consciousness. Could the same be stated for understanding an afterlife, or having a consciousness that perceives that the life of consciousness is eternal. Could it be that the modern day individual human self-consciousness is eternal, even if it does not understand it? Yet!

The general human thought, the general human mind is probably not aware of the fact that they are living in an different age, with a different brain, with a different consciousness, with different mental tools for perceiving and conceiving the deeper issues of life, and death. It is taken for granted, as if our present state of consciousness is so truly so new and different, that most human minds do not understand the ramifications of these statements. That means that this newness also includes with it new and different metaphysical aspects too. It can not help but be otherwise! Meta means above, higher...than something. Metaphysics is a general term for thinking about realms that are above the real of physics, and its laws. Even modern day physicists are using the term metaphysics in dealing with their problems. Check out the book titled, “Information and the Nature of Reality: From Physics to Metaphysics. Edited by Paul Davies and Niels Gregersen.

So, is there a hint that there could be an afterlife after the death of the biological body? The answer is yes, is because the modern day human consciousness has been forced to arrive to a new point in the development within consciousness, even as it still possess a biological body. Are there hints that an individual human consciousness is different from and even can be separate from the biological body? Is there a simple, yet profound hint of an afterlife?

The answer is yes!

One simple hint would be the Out Of Body Experience. (OBE) An OBE is an experience when a human being’s individual self-consciousness is forcefully popped out of the body, usually by an accident, or in an emergency room, or at moments of a close call with dying and death. Some human minds try to consciously achieve the OBE by different methods. What this means is that while the biological body is stranded on earth, usually close to death, or actually having died, the individual human self-consciousness is transported away from the biological body, so it ‘floats’ in the ‘astral’ realm above the biological body and even possibly within an non-atomic universe. A non-atomic universe should be investigated by thinkers.

In the OBE, the individual self-consciousness can see without biological eyes, hear without biological ears, and it can know without the human brain. It may be non-atomic too. That would imply that maybe the whole consciousness, or at the very least a certain aspect of consciousness, is non-atomic, non-biological, even immaterial, and at the very very least, can be totally spiritual. As if the human soul as a true state of consciousness is indeed spiritual, and not material. That means that this state of self-awareness would also be able to transcend this space-time realm, and travel within different space-time realms. In other words, if people are leaving their biological bodies and then return to them later, as a very real experience, that could happen at the moment of the biological death too? Except without returning to the biological body! Or with a different non-biological body in a different space-time universe. The problem for humans on earth is that there is a transitional stage for all earth departing souls. So, there seems to be no direct experience with one state of consciousness with another state of consciousness.

This one example is the modern day experience that people of all types are experiencing more and more, before they are actually dead, biologically speaking. Now, there is no way that I know of to know if people throughout history, in different ages, and different civilizations, also experienced out of body experiences as so-called modern day human beings are experiencing currently. But does the fact that people can and are experiencing out of body events mean that there is life after death? Could it mean that there are other universes / realms / spheres which are different space-time realms that are separate, yet can be connected to this current space-time dimension? Many cosmic scientists write and talk about multi-universes and even parallel universes, that copy or that are similar to this cosmic universe. But could they have it totally wrong. Why? Because if there are multi-universes, and parallel universe, they could be and are different than this cosmic universe. That is stated for the recorded! If there are different universes next to ours, why could they not be completely different than our universe?

Here is the main point. If more and more people are experiencing out of body experiences, even if they do not want or expect them, or even know about them, and they are floating above their biological bodies in a different realm (s), commonly termed the astral sphere, then that would mean that their individual state of consciousness is not connected to their biological body, and that they can still see and ear as if they were still stuck in their brain. It would mean that even though their individual self-consciousness would be, even temporarily, not located within the brain or the body, and possibly not even in the atomic universe, even if it was partly in or connected to the atomic universe, then there is no reason why this experience could not occur at the moment of biological death too

When this astral consciousness returns to is biological body, it would know something that it was not aware of before. It would be aware of a new non-material life state of existence, or a different state of consciousness that would and does change their human mental perception of death forever. Namely that there is a possibility that their newly discovered purely non-biological self, as a state of self-awareness, could live on after their biological body stops moving. Now it could be that the human self-consciousness changes at the exact moment when it believes that its individual biological body is about to die, and / or does die, so it changes from one form of consciousness to another form of consciousness, so it can be located in the astral sphere.

If people leave there biological bodies after death, and then exist and travel in the astral sphere, where do they go after they leave earth? Possibly to a different space/time universe! What is the new concept of an individual humans self? Can an individual self-consciousness be deathless, be eternal? People who experience the out of body experience never again believe in their biological death as a state of nothingness. Never again! They will rarely talk or mention it, but I have heard and listened to many OBE from many types of people.

This new phenomena which seems to happen more and more, proves that if the cave people did not have out of body experiences and modern day people do have them, then something is very different in the two different collective states of individual and collective consciousness. Either by the different structures of the two different brains, and by the different states of mental perceptions of life, and of what constitutes the individual human self. Furthermore, the modern day individual and collective human consciousness are constantly changing, transforming, with new states of information and knowledge regarding life in all its various and possible various life forms, as nature itself has provided as an earthly guide that there are forces, realms of existence, outside the human self, eternal to the human mind, which states that life can take shape in many different various biological forms, and also non-biological forms, on so many different levels, or in other words, a multi-dimensional consciousness of life.

In other words, with new states of understanding of what life is even in biological forms, and with different states of mental models of life and different states of consciousness, the external manifestations are going to be different for the human self and for the collective human race than it would have been for the primitive cave people. Furthermore, with different states of consciousness that seems to be partly connected to the biological body, yet at times totally dissociated and sometimes even separate from the biological body, at least for some individual human beings, the concept of death becomes more a question, an issue, of what life is both before the biological body seems to be dead, and after it actually dies, or seems to die. What exactly is Life, as in the absolute state of Life called God? If God is a deathless eternal Life, as is stated in a few books, then the concept of a nothingness death is meaningless, and void of any reality; external or internal to the human mind and consciousness.

Some individual human minds might consider the following statement, “If their views regarding life were different before they died, then their views regarding death would also be different before they died a biological death, because in one very real sense, their individual self-consciousness has already touched eternal life long before their biological death. In other words, if life itself is understood to be more than purely biological life form, then the issue of what life truly is becomes the important question and issue, and death becomes almost a non-issue, a non-event... in one sense. In one very real way, the biological body is already becoming secondary to the qualities of the mind, to the life of the mind, to the life of consciousness itself, even though human beings still walk on two feet and use their biological eyes for seeing the world around them. Deeper mental models are becoming the norm in many areas of life, mental models that are abstract in nature, but which have an influence on the external physical and material world and of life on earth. In other words, a true sense of metaphysics is becoming more important than the realm of ordinary physics.

Now, two facts present themselves to the human race and to each individual human mind that the cave people did not possess. One is that the modern human mind is more a state of consciousness than just a simple brain, and two, the cosmic universe itself is not solid. If the mental states of individual human minds are becoming more and more immaterial while at the same time the cosmic universe is also currently understood to be an immaterial entity, or not a pure solid entity like a solid rock; then with the combination of those two facts, an immaterial states of consciousness and an immaterial universe, the very deep implications are clear. When the mind becomes more purely mental instead of biological, and when the cosmic universe becomes an external universe where atoms, light waves, etc. can travel as invisible states, and why could not the invisible individual state of OBE consciousness also travel through the cosmic void of space and time, even into different realms and into different universes altogether?

It is as if the current understanding of the cosmos is leading the human mind’s self-awareness out of itself more and more, to higher states of conscious understanding, which is also impacting the human individual self to perceive that maybe there is a cosmic and earthly life which is not only immaterial, but which is also totally spiritual, with that spirituality impacting the human mind to break out of its mental shell, to see beyond the caveman’s way of seeing life on earth, the cosmos, and the life within the mind. The problem with that statement is that with this acknowledgment of an external cosmic universe, also implies an external spiritual God which is different than any sense of biological life on earth, and also different than the cosmic universe, but influencing them anyway. Imagine that! A real Intelligent Spiritual God that is completely different than life on earth and completely different than the cosmic universe, but influences the development of consciousness development and evolution.

A totally separate realm called Spirit, which is God, which is a completely different realm than what the human mind can conceive and perceive as a spiritual reality, but which is even more real than the astral realm. If the human mind can begin to understand the non-human realm of true spirituality, can begin to understand their true spiritual nature which is deathless, then when the human mind starts to identify itself with the spiritual instead of the seemingly material and the physical, then the deathless state of existence begins to manifest itself within the human consciousness as an even larger possibility than an astral life.

In one very real sense, the individual and collective human mind is being pushed, being forced into this direction of a metaphysical deathless, spiritual life, whether it wants it or not. There is one person of all the people who ever lived, that is a true example of an individual demonstration regarding overcoming death. That person was Jesus the Christ. Now I know how the robotic religious mind thinks about Jesus. The robotic religious mind believes that Jesus was God, which even he stated that he was not. But it is stated that he knowingly overcame death, not because he was God, (which by the way, that is never stated in the Bible), but because his true spiritual Christ Consciousness was at one with the God that is Life. That was his individual self-consciousness, which is how and why he overcame the death of his earthly human biological body. "Jesus proved by the prints of the nails, that his body was the same immediately after death as before." pg. 486. Science and Health. Mary Baker Eddy.

In other words, even though Jesus seemed to possess a very limited biological body while he walked on earth, he also possess the spiritual Christ Consciousness, which is not biological in nature, nor is it limited to the space-time universe, or even to the human mind. And because Jesus possess the spiritual Christ Consciousness, he was able to prove that spiritual consciousness in many ways, including rising his biological body up from the universal belief in death, or from that state of nothingness which is usually associated with death. Of course, Jesus was not in a state of mental nothingness, nor was his spiritual Christ Consciousness.

The simplistic religionist views Jesus as God because the simplistic religionist is mentally viewing the issues of life and death, of God and evil, with a one dimensional mental model, or a one dimensional state of consciousness. Which is only one reason for this backward train of thinking about the Bible, Jesus, and all metaphysical and spiritual issues. The only solution to answering any issue of life and death, of God and Jesus, or any truly spiritual issue, or any metaphysical issue, is with a mental model of multi-dimensionally, or with a multi-dimensional state of consciousness, which means an multi-dimensional understanding of life on earth and the Life which is God, the great eternal I AM. If human consciousness transcends its own mental limitations regarding the cosmic universe, then it should also be able to transcend its own mental limitations regarding what life is, and what death is not.

Water can be liquid, ice, or steam. And the truly fascinating aspect of that fact, is that not only is water multi-dimensional in nature, but the human mind can know that fact, and then it can understand why that fact is real and true, too! Truly amazing! Why? Because all of the other biological brains can not understand that fact, nor why water can be a solid, a steam, or a liquid.

Just as a Master Metaphysician such as a Jesus was a multi-dimensional being, so too, can modern human beings begin to understand what Jesus understood, as his true spiritual self-hood called the Christ Consciousness. But even so, what took place over two thousand years ago is presenting itself in new forms of life in the modern age, because of new states of consciousness with the new information and knowledge, and new states of intelligence, which leads to new states of spiritual enlightenment about life on all levels of existence. That new knowledge and information regarding life and death, becomes intertwined within the new states of each individual human self-consciousness, and even within the collective human consciousness called the human race.

Included within that multi-dimensional state of consciousness is the enlighten awareness that God is a Divine Mind, a state of Divine Intelligence, which does not see or know death, but which also forces and impels the conscious mental advancement toward the conscious understanding that real life is a state of an eternal spiritual consciousness, even if human beings still experience a biological death, while on earth. But that if this Divine Mind only knows Life, then so too, should the human mind and human consciousness should only know life and Life, both while living before death, and after death too. On the other hand, to blame any notion of God for all of the human death from other human beings who kill other human beings is not fair to God, no matter what this God is.

In any case, even though these are different times than when Jesus the Christ lived, there is more modern day evidence, than a simple religious belief about a divine human person who lived and then overcame death over 2000 years ago. There is new evidence that even non-religious people are experiencing different phenomena regarding the metaphysical issues of life and death. But one thing is most definitely certain. With new states of consciousness comes different states of mental and physical phenomena too. The modern age is advancing towards new states of consciousness, whether it understands it, wants to understand it, or wants to accepts the new states of consciousness.

It seems to be that what Jesus and others have experienced will one day become the norm for the human race. And when that day arrives, even the whole cosmic universe will not hide the mysteries of life and death. Nor will the human ignorance of life and so-called death, and the afterlife. But it will be collectively discovered that God who is only Life, as in eternal Life, who made man in the image and likeness of itself! But not as a biological entity, because God is not a biological entity. But as a deathless, spiritual image in the Mind of God.

Once those eternal truths and Truth are realized and understood by the collective human race, then all false religions will be vanquished into nothingness, and war should be known no more. Because when mankind realizes that killing other human beings biological bodies will not actually kill them, as a state of individual and collective consciousness, then the insanity of war and killing and murder will be understood to be void of logic and reason. When a new sense of both life and living replace the concept of killing and death, a new collective human race will be born in a new age of intelligent enlightenment. And then mankind will have a hopeful peaceful future on earth, and in the afterlife too!
