Point well taken! Laszlo’s work often integrates modern scientific theories, such as quantum physics and the concept of the Akashic Field, to explain consciousness as a unified, interconnected field. The Vedic texts emphasize consciousness as a fundamental, all-pervasive reality (Brahman) that underlies the universe, while focusing on spiritual and philosophical aspects. Science got in Brahman’s way. I’m trying to help push materialistic science and consciousness defined incorrectly as an emergent property of the brain to the sidelines. Quantum theory vindicates Brahman 💯! Thank you for your comment, Sandy! 😇🙏
Yes, this is absolutely fundamental to Indian philosophy from the Vedas up to the Puranas: the primordial nature of consciousness, not matter, whether expressed as Atman, Brahman, Purusha, Shiva or Vishnu, or via the tattvas which are a kind of ethical rigging throughout cosmic consciousness. The later Puranas speak of a radiant being which is everywhere extant, and whose main identifiers are VIBGYOR, the colors of the rainbow. Use of particular rays is applied to heal the body from ailments, bringing material substrates back into resonance with the immaterial whole.
Very true. Vedic insights are irreducible to systems theory such as we find in Laszlo. Laszlo's predilection is towards recognition of evolving signaling networks within information theory. Ironically, this aligns quite closely with the NWO's repurposing of Teilhard De Chardin's noosphere into transhumanist super AI world brain singularity. The Vedas are not reducible to systems of information exchange, they are rich in symbol, in color, in energy, and in experience on subtle levels of both the cosmic and the individual self. What is not experienced directly cannot be real, in other words.
"Global Brain" perspectives suggest that AI could enhance the Noosphere by increasing the efficiency and scope of information exchange, thereby fostering a more interconnected and possibly more conscious collective entity. Author Robert Wright calls it "Noosphere crystallization." Catchy, eh? I tend toward perfunctory dismissal of such nonsense. They are not serious arguments, IMO.
It is absurd. Yet they are very serious in their intent to snuff out individual and interconnected human, animal and plant consciousness and replace them with AI super-algorithms. Whether they can succeed in anything like this or not remains to be seen. However, they will engage any and all suppressive tools they have to further this insane project.
Indeed. Both indigenous and religious perspectives often highlight the importance of non-dualism and interconnectedness, suggesting that consciousness is not solely an individual property but part of a larger cosmic or spiritual framework. This is especially true of Eastern religious thought. Thanks for your comment!
Love your work! But respectfully, I think the ancient texts from India regarding consciousness predate the good work of Laszlo by centuries🙏

It would seem that most indigenous cosmology plus the world great religions support this

The word Consciousness with a capital C is seldom if ever mentioned in Christian theology or philosophy. David Bentley-Hart is a notable exception.
And when they do they reduce Consciousness to the workings of the much hyped intellect. Edward Feser specializes in this trope.
That having been said please check out the new book by Paul Levy titled The Quantum Revelation Awakening to the Dreamlike Nature of Reality
I will. Thanks for the recommendation and for joining the conversation, Zippy.
