Cosmic Consciousness

From Self to Cosmic Consciousness

Beyond the realm of Self-Consciousness, there lies an even bigger experience of awareness that embraces the Cosmos as a whole and our intimate relationship with everything in it.

In cosmic consciousness, the Self is communing and uniting with those species that walk on earth, swim underneath rivers, lakes, and oceans, and those that fly in the skies, as well as the moons, planets, suns, stars, and galaxies.

We journey through life with them. We become aware of our experience when interacting with them. We experience and view the world with them.

I refer to this level of awareness as Cosmic Consciousness. There is, of course, an even higher form of awareness.

In the real world, modern physics shows to us that our Consciousness connects us quite intimately with every living and non-living thing through the energy that we emit in our thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Every part of the Cosmos is intimately connected to us. We are not isolated parts and pieces, but one whole system, each of which is necessary for the functioning of the entire system, we call Cosmos.

Many times, we forget, or are not mindful, that there are other inhabitants of this Cosmos that also possess the inherent right to exist and live on this Planet Earth.

Cosmic consciousness can be viewed from the perspective of environmental science.

First, we have the Ecosystem. This includes the forests, oceans, coral reefs, ponds, lakes, valleys, caves, savannahs, mountains, hills, land, as well as the invisible spirits like the dwarves, leprechauns, fairies, deceased ancestors. This can be likened to factories, each producing different kinds of products and services.

Second, we have the Species. This includes the viruses, bacteria, worms, plants, animals, humans. These are the factory workers working on the front line directly manufacturing various goods and services.

Third, we have the Genetics. This refers to the genes and DNAs of every species like the expertise, knowledge, wisdom, beliefs, values that serve as nature’s built-in mechanism to fertilize the soil, purify the air, regulate climate changes, manage food production, and regulate population levels.

The unity and totality of all the ecosystem, species, and genetics on earth is the Biosphere. I refer to this unitive sphere as the Cosmic Enterprise where each species works collectively as one to protect, maintain, and sustain all life forms in the universe.
