...Reading, Consciousness is a singular of...–Schrödinger : Amit Goswami, Ph.D.
“Consciousness is a singular of which there is no plural” –Schrödinger From the book Creative Evolution
Can we do science of the primacy of consciousness? That is, can science be based on the idea that consciousness is the ground of all being and that all things of experience are chosen from quantum possibilities of consciousness? Where is the necessary objectivity? Now the quintessential proof: I’ll show you why the choosing consciousness of quantum physics has to be objective cosmic consciousness.
You may have heard of the famous paradox of Schrödinger’s cat. In this thought experiment,”a cat is left in an opaque cage with a door in the company of a single radioactive atom (with a half-life of one hour, which means that the probabilility is fifty-fifty that the atom will decay within the hour).
The cat is literally half-dead and half-alive?
This half and half state is an example of quantum weirdness, but it doesn’t constitute the paradox (we’ll get to that in a second). This state follows strictly from quantum mathematics. Because every consequence of quantum mathematics has been experimentally verified with uncanny accuracy, we must assume that this explanation accurately describes the cat’s situation when we are not observing it.
Of course when we observe it, we find the cat either alive or dead, not half-alive and half-dead. This is a paradox from the point of view of scientific materialism, because all objects are quantum possibilities; an observer’s brain is no exception. So why should an observer’s looking be tantamount to a choice between the cat’s life and death?
However if you have grasped the discussion above, you will see that if we adopt the metaphysical position that consciousness is the ground of all being, then indeed conscious looking is tantamount to choice and produces collapse.
The paradoxes continue…
Suppose Wigner has a friend in his lab; they visit while the cat waits in its cage as a possibility wave suspended between life and death. After the hour, out of politeness Wigner opens the cage. Because both are looking at once, whose looking is going to collapse the state of the cat? In other words, who gets to choose?
The paradox becomes acute if we posit that Wigner is a cat fancier: He would choose the cat to be alive. But his friend despises cats. No doubt his choice would be thumbs down: let the cat die! So again, whose choice counts? Does the cat live or die?
One solution is to posit that only Wigner is conscious, that his friend is a figment of Wigners imagination. This philosophy is called solipsism, and surely we all feel that way at times. But such a philosophy would not be scientifically useful, although, ironically, materialist metaphysics cannot refute it either.
In other words, we don’t choose the cat’s fate from our ordinary individual consciousness, what psychologists call ego. We choose from a non-ordinary state of consciousness in which our ordinary individuality gives way to cosmic oneness- an objective consciousness beyond our and the cats individual conscious identity.
...Reading, Vibrational Alignment
by: Julia Rogers Hamrick

Spiritual Growth Strategies: Higher vibrational frequency is the name of the game in experiencing joy, ease, peace, true wisdom and total Love. The higher we rise in frequency, the closer to Source we are vibrationally, and the more we experience the God-knowingness and true power of Source. Your frequency is correlated with the amount of Life Force you have flowing freely through you, so maintaining alignment with Source and allowing full and free flow of Life Force is crucial to experiencing the sublime realm of higher frequency. Here are some key strategies for staying aligned and moving Life Force through you:
Powerful Practices That Raise Your Vibration *Radiate Love unconditionally *Be impeccably honest *Make joy your #1 priority

What makes the best profile pic
why is one better than another
what could be gained with a better pic
what does a profile pic say
why care how others perceive your pic
now in this age of social networking our pics
are most of the time seen amongst a mass of others
I would like mine to
get noticed
say somthing about who I am
so…
I am working on it
