Higher Consciousness

“For Niels Bohr, measurement changes everything. He said that before you measured or observed a particle, its characteristics were uncertain. For example, an electron in the double slit experiment: before the detector at the back pinpoints its location, it could be almost anywhere, with a whole range of possibilities. Until the moment you observe it, and only at that point, will the location's uncertainty disappear.

According to Bohr's approach to quantum mechanics, when you measure a particle, the act of measurement forces the particle to relinquish all of the possible places it could have been and select one definite location where you find it. The act of measurement is what forces the particle to make that choice.” (Brian Greene from the Nova series on PBS)

When we look at the particles around the nucleus, we witness them when we want to see them. It’s this act of measurement that determines where the particle takes its specific location. When you don’t search or even think about them, they are not there. This deals with the idea of consciousness.

Human beings have high consciousness meaning we are able to acknowledge ourselves and others around us. From consciousness comes awareness. From awareness comes brilliance. Both men and animals are conscious and intelligent but only Men can become brilliant. That is the biggest difference. A man can send another man to the moon where a dolphin cannot send another dolphin onto land.

So, what is it that makes us so brilliant? So self-aware? Why do we have this higher consciousness?

The universe is here for consciousness, your consciousness. We have consciousness so we can take care of the things around us. Man is able of being conscientious so that we can take care of the animals that aren’t as self aware as we are. Our gift of being aware and the ability to study and observe the many beautiful things around us helps humans appreciate life.

Scientists want to say that consciousness is an illusion created by the chemicals in the mind. They can see how thoughts come up in the mind based on MRI scanning. They can even tell what you’re thinking! But they cannot tell why. Just because they can figure out the activity of the brain does not mean they know who it is that made these decisions. They cannot find “you” in the brain.

Certain things in life you can only understand, you can’t solve it. It’s a waste of time to try and find your consciousness. You know that you exist and that you are in this body. These things must be understood instead of trying to scientifically prove it.

People need to understand that God created the universe so it can take care of itself. We are a part of this system. The more you understand this, the more brilliant you become. You will then be a conscientious person. When you fully understand and realize the importance of yourself by noticing that everything is here for you and for all consciousness, then you feel confident about yourself and you feel thankful to be alive. You genuinely want to be a great human. Once you are confident and know right from wrong, you get energy and a willingness to accomplish the impossible. When you realize the importance of your consciousness, you’re able to overcome pain, control your feelings, and conquer the most incredible obstacles in life.

I’ve known this since I was a little kid. Once I realized the truth about the universe, God, and life itself, I was unstoppable. I overcame paralyzation. I provided money and food for my family when I was ten years old. I took care of the kids who got bullied making sure no harm came to them. I was very successful in most athletic competitions. I never lost a life during my whole career as a lifeguard (You can read more about my achievements in my book, The Mathematics of Life.) I had the confidence and the energy to be independent at such a young age; I didn’t need people to take care of me. I always took care of myself and appreciated life. I feel that everybody should learn the truth about the universe and life itself so they can have the energy and confidence to accomplish great things.

Unfortunately, not everyone is open to such awareness due to many reasons such as religion. Religion puts consciousness down so they can remain in power. Let’s look at Christianity for example. They claim Eve shared the apple with Adam from the Tree of Knowledge where they gained awareness about they’re nakedness and were thus cast out of the Garden of Eden. They teach the people that they now have original sin because of this story. Original sin refers to the absence of holiness and perfect charity. They’re saying you are bad and need something to redeem yourself. What’s ironic is this is actually quite the opposite. The energy that created the universe is indeed inside you! Like I said, you are conscious and aware so you can enjoy life, not because humans were tempted by a serpent to eat an apple. You are able to do the most amazing things because you are part of the energy of this universe no matter what religion says. Religion simply wants control over you so they can stay in power. They are scared that people can be more powerful than they actually think.

Religious people rely on religious leaders to have all the answers. Traditions keep these people busy so that they have no time for awareness to think about the bigger picture which is all about being conscientious and more humane.

They are only left with something called “Blind Faith” so they don’t have to search for the truth. Why would anyone want to choose blind faith? This takes away from awareness! Blindness is not a good thing. Sure, people who are blind can live normal, healthy lives, but if you gave them the opportunity to see, they’d take it in a second. Blindness should be considered a bad word because it does not allow people to witness what’s right in front of them. The fact that Christianity uses the word “Blind” should be an indicator that they are spreading their own agenda.

The whole world is controlled by people who want power. People like power because they don’t understand the real truth about life. They have something missing in their life and so they seek this power. If you’re weak, you need power so you can overcome your weakness. The weaker you are the more aggressive you are about having authority. When you understand the universe, you don’t need this authority and can become content with the way you are. You already have power to experience life and have a great time.

Our higher consciousness helps us understand and conquer our pain and hunger. You must realize that pain is not all that terrible since it is a part of life. Pain is an indicator of how to take care of your body. It’s like hunger which helps you know your body needs sustenance. Pain and hunger exist so you can appreciate life when you don’t have either. Since the age of 18 to the age of 70, my weight has stayed at 180 pounds. When you become aware, you think about what you’re doing and realize you don’t want to pollute your body. More and more people are becoming obese today because they’re afraid of being hungry. Since food is so cheap in America, they’ll eat junk food like crazy because they are not aware of their own body.

These two elements are important to understand life, and when you don’t experience this, part of you’re awareness gets lost. People in a “higher class” like the rich or the aristocracy will never appreciate the taste of food or understand hunger since they have so much. How can they relate to the starving kids in Africa when they’ve never experienced any sort of hunger themselves?

Darwin’s theory shows that life adapts and progresses into a balance. Man has to progress and adapt to a newer world. When we study the universe, we see a chaos within an order. When we study the atoms and look at the particles, it appears chaotic but then it too comes to an order. When we study evolution we see a chaos that orders itself. When you study the history of man you see a chaos of war that becomes more orderly. Eventually everything comes to an order. God does not play dice as Einstein once said.

There is a crossroad that people come to surrounding this progress where you have to make a decision. One road will take you to selfishness and feeling sorry for yourself and the other road takes you to the awareness of life and the appreciation and love for everything.

Where we see people with conscientiousness, we witness lower birth rates and people who care about the environment and liberty, etc. They took the right path. If you are not conscientious and considerate, then you are on the wrong path.

We’ll end up like the dinosaurs that went on the wrong path because they didn’t create a balance. They were too big eating everything that came in their path. But they did not know any better. We know better because of our higher consciousness.
