The Stairway to Consciousness: The Birth of Self-Awareness from Unconscious Archetypes
Imagine a zombie universe, a universe without consciousness. If consciousness were irrelevant to the operations of the universe, there would be no such thing as consciousness. After all, what would be the point? What sufficient reason could be offered for it? Nature doesn't generate anything that has no function. Yet consciousness - the most important fact of our life that defines who we are and how we relate to the world - is, according to science, nothing but an accident, a product of random chance, a bizarre mutation, an epiphenomenon, an illusion, an emergent property. It serves no purpose, it has no causal efficacy. It is totally irrelevant to the workings of inert, lifeless, mindless atoms under the control of the inert, lifeless, mindless laws of physics. The ideology of materialism is deadly to the concept of consciousness.
Why would Nature create illusions? How could it? Materialism requires nothing but an unthinking universe, enacting nothing but zombie processes. That, after all, is the essence of materialism.
If there is nothing but lifeless, mindless matter, who needs life? Who needs mind? How can either come into existence in the first place? Who ordered that? It's logically impossible to extract life from lifelessness, and mind from mindlessness.
You can arrange lifelessness and mindlessness in infinite ways. Not one will logically achieve the miracle of creating the "emergent properties" of life and mind.
Life and mind must be essential to existence, or life and mind should not exist at all. It's a simple binary. Since life and mind exist, materialism - the doctrine of inherent lifelessness and mindlessness - is disproved. If materialism is disproved, science, which is based on materialism, cannot be true. This is logic 101. Science can perform all the experiments and observations it likes. No experiment or observation can ever contradict logic. Fallacious interpretations of experiments and observations, however, can certainly contradict logic. Science is full of these fallacies.
Idealism, which is all about the mind rather than matter, has consciousness as its ultimate evolutionary product. Not just any consciousness, maximum consciousness, i.e. absolute consciousness, God consciousness. The meaning of idealist existence is for existence to come to complete self-awareness.
God does not create the universe, the universe creates God. That is its purpose.
The universe starts off as God unconscious (Alpha) and ends as God conscious (Omega). This is achieved via us - the individual cells of God, the eternal and necessary monadic minds that comprise the substance of God.
Alpha God is the state of maximum mental entropy (total unconsciousness). Omega God is the state of minimum mental entropy, the zero-entropy state of perfect consciousness, perfect being.
Come and discover the extraordinary story of how consciousness is born from the unconscious. This is the story of existence. This is the story of the meaning of life, the universe and everything.
Nietzsche said, "Everything good is the transmutation of something evil: every god has a devil for a father."
And everything conscious has the unconscious for a mother.
