Simulated Consciousness


Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

The more abstract the association between our mind, emotions and feelings the more symbolic the thought form. Consciousness brings into reality to every observation by exercising it own type of awareness. Consciousness is an active participant in creative process. 

Design brings "reality" to this joint venture. 

The concept of reality surfaces from within the unconsciousness of an observer and becoming symbolically "filtered" by means of the subconscious. This awareness is then reflected back to the observer in a pattern (design) cloaked  in both form (matter) and formlessness (thought/emotion/feeling).  

Every example considered "real" originates from the POV of an observer. The observer by virtue of design, assigns a particular symbolic pattern of energy to every impression. When resonant these patterns reflect upon the consciousness of an observer and in turn considered to be real. 

Yes, it all becomes a magical adventure, especially while realizing that the design process actively describes and is based upon this symbolic undertaking towards self-realization, aka the individuation process. What an observer knows and/ or believes is made symbolically apparent within the parameters and/or constraints of his/her own virtual world/reality. 

A design reality can be discovered by many means - thoughts, emotions, the senses and feelings are typical of the human observer. 

The symbolic imaginings we attach to our impressions of the many worlds within and around us, affords the concept of consciousness its own sense of reality. Actually, consciousness is the outward expression of who we think, feel and believe we are. We are forever projecting upon ourselves and others who we are, whether we know or believe it. We actively engage in this (design) process in order to better know and believe in ourselves. By nature, we are experiencing Life solely in order to "know and believe in ourselves".

These forms of reality are made of mind-stuff, i.e. chitta (virtual particles), appearing as images, thoughts and feelings that go beyond the physical senses. Knowing and believing draws out a meaning and purpose from deep within every event and experience encountered.

These images and our mind’s ability to both create and recreate them, exists in a virtual world that by nature, is always in motion and flux (QFVPP/Chi).  Images appear before our "mind’s eye". We have the ability to purposely focus our attention towards that to which we are attracted and resonate. 

Attractions are contained in 3D space time yet are in themselves both spaceless and timeless.  

Images of reality are harbored in a virtual world of our own making and interpretation. This is the same consciousness we apply to our world view when we perceive or observe ourselves as a participant in the events and experiences we become aware of.

Meaning infers that there is an intimate relationship between an perceiver/observer and the circumstance/context encountered. Meaning emerges from within and upon the wings of our feelings. Intuitive in nature, feelings describe the dynamic relationship between a variety of emotional and mental attributes, impressions and impulses that surround every experience and event, i.e. Kama/Manas. 

Likewise, all events and experiences vary in content, context and importance. The more conceptual the context the greater the role of the virtual world.

Symbols draw meaning out of experience by tapping into certain impulses, emotions, thoughts, feelings and impressions. The ability to purposely form these impressions/permutations emerge as ideas. This is skill is human in character. 

Thoughts and feelings change in a moment's notice due to the realization that they are both virtual in character and composition.

The mind and its emotional counterpart feelings, remain far from permanent. Watch your own thoughts and feelings as they scamper and "virtually change" during the course of every day. 

Consciousness is best held, perceived, observed, absorbed and experienced when you focus upon your attention at will. 
willingness: readiness, preparedness, disposition, inclination, will, wish, desire, eagerness, keenness, enthusiasm.

Consciousness makes itself apparent by the means and virtue of its own awareness. 
virtue: goodness, virtuousness, righteousness, morality, integrity, honorableness, respectability, worthiness, purity, merit, principles, trustworthiness.

This describes consciousness at work, consistently being impressed by our own thoughts and feelings while diligently witnessing the thoughts and images of others.

In a sense our thoughts and emotions are merely "virtual simulations" of what we perceive, observe and believe is true, what is real and who we are.





Consciousness is the natural expression of a cognizant observer found to be aware of a virtual world of his/her own making. This form of realization is symbolically attained by means of design. 

Design harbors the opportunity and potential to give greater meaning and purpose to such experiences and events. All events and experiences are multi dimensional in content and context primarily because they are fundamentally virtual in nature and context.

Because our virtual world is always changing, simple perceptions and observations alone are never be enough to fully describe or understand what is occurring in every given moment in every given situation. Here is where the concept of a sympathetic and benevolent universe comes into play.

Incomprehensibility leads to belief. Knowing can never be incomprehensible and therefore leads to more knowing. Knowing just is.

The ancients knew that perspective (POV) changes when viewed from a position of harmony and balance. Universal principles, constants, equations and patterns are represented by means of symbolic reference, e.g. language, art, physics, mathematics, poetry, philosophy, etc. 

Harmonic resonance rests upon the creation of a symbolic/symbiotic relationships between objects/agents/ideas/life forms. Design is key in affording consciousness the opportunity to be fully  “realized” and made aware throughout the human experience.

  1. Carl, In Simulated Consciousness, you wrote:

    Consciousness is the natural expression of an observer in a virtual world of its own making and origin.

    I could have ghost written that sentence. Here, you and I overlap. In a world where there is no standard vocabulary for discussing consciousness, it's good to find some degree of agreement.

    Of course you and I would intend different things by the same words. Even so, it's good to know you're working from your angle of experience as I am working from mine.
