The Elementary Field of Consciousness and its Manifestations

Two kinds of relations are generally proposed between consciousness and matter. Firstly matter gives rise to consciousness and secondly consciousness gives rise to matter. The second possibility is explored in the paper. The term consciousness vector has been proposed by the author earlier. In this paper the origin of space, time and matter is discussed in the terms of consciousness vector. It is proposed that every form of the matter has the potential to reach the highest level of consciousness. Other aspects such as disease in biological organisms and Consciousness vector, do the human beings have the capacity to understand the universe? , implications for fine arts, ethics, law, development, economics and politics are discussed. Thought Experiments to prove the above hypothesis are also proposed. Finally the future of the universe is discussed. Introduction In the last few decades science has begun a reconsideration of ancient wisdom. The general direction of the science since the seventeenth century has been towards materialism. However, science in the late twentieth century began to explore the hitherto sidelined spiritual arena. The spiritual matters are subtle if properly formulated and understood. The “new” paradigm proposes that consciousness is the basis of all being. The Consciousness has been variously termed as Spirit, God, Godhead, Ain Sof, Tao, Brahman etc. in popular religions. According to the “new” paradigm the matter, including the world of experience is the material manifestation of consciousness. This has been termed as monistic idealism. It has been proposed that field of consciousness is filed of all possibilities. According to my formalism the field of consciousness is infinite dimensional with the dimensions representing the various possibilities. I also propose that the field of consciousness is anisotropic. In some of the “regions” in the field of consciousness the field of consciousness may decohere into a region of selected dimensions. How consciousness gives rise to matter? The regions mentioned above have lower number of dimensions than the ultimate field of consciousness. Thus, the space-time continuum with four dimensions is created out of the field of consciousness which has infinite dimensions. When four dimensions of space-time continuum interact with selected dimensions of consciousness, matter is created. The different types of matter (such as different types of elementary particles) have different dimensions from the set of dimensions of elementary consciousness, hence the variability in properties of matter. The matter can be represented by consciousness vector. The magnitude of the consciousness vector can be defined by the Hamiltonian L in the equation describing the Quantum Hopfield networks (Behrman et al. 2006), assuming that all matter can be represented by Quantum Hopfield Networks.                         
