From Individual Consciousness to Universal Intelligence

To some it may seem obvious that intelligence, or the mind, or light, already existed in the universe and that they were there before mankind appeared. It would seem that the universal mind strikes the animal consciousness of the self and is reflected as in a mirror. Or it could be said that in humans, the primary consciousness of the body takes on the role of picking up the universal mind just as a mirror picks up light. Our eyes and ears and bundles of neurons are radars which pick up and reflect external intelligence. This external intelligence then becomes both external and internal to human beings.

Even if we only feel it hazily, we may suspect that consciousness cannot merely be reduced to its physical framework.

It is hard for us to comprehend that it is not we who continually generate all our ideas. It’s hard because our primary consciousness is rooted in a solid physical form, and in the self which hauls the baggage of its earlier personal experiences along with it – experiences which are more or less happy, more or less conscious, but nevertheless there, and which can cloud our understanding of ourselves.
