LOL thanks all for your responses. Some gave me a giggle this morning.
Terry.. So, all I'm saying now is that what you hold in your mind as true about the Universe or consciousness must be clearly and unambiguously
instantiated by defintions attainable and agreeable to all the rest of us----for us to participate meaingfully in your topic.
It was just a concept I was putting out there. I thought it was interesting. I do not have any belief in a god. And for cofty..I think deepak chopra is a scam artist. (just my personal view, no offfense to anyone who does believe in him).
I have been searching for a definition of consciousness and I find it elusive. So I find it difficult to give it a definition when it comes to the universe. I'm not sure we have a word to describe it. That is why I would like to explore this topic. To get people collectives ideas and see if it can give me a better understanding.
When we consider that WE are conscious, and we are a product of the universe. The UNIVERSE itself must be conscious in some way, to be able to even create something that is conscious of itself, mustn't it?
*please note, before anyone jumps on the word 'create', I am not talking about some GOD creating anything. I am using it strickly in this definition.
cre•ate (kre-at') ? v. To cause to exist; bring into being. v. To give rise to; produce:
The universe somehow caused us to exist.
