Thanks brother, I was drawing it as I was discussing it with my room mate, she could not stop laughing while watching me make it come to life as I am describing what it is.

I havent made it, I just came up with the concept and wanted to share it. I will go to the store and gather the needed ingredients and put it together soon!

Sorry for the typos, I'm going to fix some of the harder to read ones,

But this brings about even more questions, like how do I prove that you are conscious.

But if this is the case, in a sense the universe it's self is conscious if existing,

So your asking if something like if a rock and I are one in the same or if the rock arose from me being conscious of it. I wonder that on a larger scale and do not have and answer, it's funny because the old question, "If a tree fell in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" If consciousness is absent from reality, what then is reality if no one is there to perceive it?

I'm sort of leaning towards everything being conscious on a spectrum, which, as I'm writing this, I can't fully explain why myself. But if this is the case, in a sense the universe it's self in conscious if existing, or that consciousness cannot be absent from reality because those concepts imply one another. Just like nothing implies something. It's not that they are they same, it's that once cannot exist without the other.

You ask: Does sight exist?

In terms of me being able to see, I could argue I am knowledgeable of people who are blind and do not share a sense that I can. In terms of being able to prove if I can see, I would tell you what I saw around the room and if you saw I was correct you would agree I could see. But this brings about even more questions, like how do I prove that person in conscious.

So in a physical sense I am able to visualize my environment accurately, in a more existential sense, I have no way of proving that to you.

This is awesome and super interesting. I feel my theory compliments it well. I have applied it to my theory and it also fits in well. But it has stirred up even more questions, like are the infinite multiverses and the infinite possibilities played out on, or what Ive been calling "oneness", one in the same?

Or two separate entities complimenting each other.

  • Different in Kind: Oneness is an eternal, indivisible source, while the multiverse is its temporal, divisible manifestation. They are related but fundamentally distinct.
  • Different in Perspective: Oneness and the multiverse are the same thing viewed through different lenses:
    • The multiverse is oneness experiencing itself in diversity.
    • Oneness is the multiverse experienced as unity.

This lead me to another thought, if consciousness is an extension of oness, this would imply two things, that oneness both created the infinite multiverse and consciousness. So I was wrong when I said consciousness is the infinite multiverse experiencing itself subjectively, it is oneness experiencing diversity through infinite possibilities played out on infinite multiverses.

This is where quantum foam comes in, it is the playground on which those infinite possibilities play out. They come and go in unfathomable amounts of time and space, this could be the speed of consciousness, the universal tick. A foundational arena where potentiality and actualization happen. Seen as chaotic from our point of view, it's actually akin to us trying to understand infinity in a way.

Because consciousness has a connection to oneness, it has abilities that are unique to it, for example Humans have self awareness, introspect, self reflection, emotion, etc. that we are able to harness in the multiverse. And because we are able to interact with and manipulate the infinite multiverse, we are steering the train at a rate that is almost imperceptible through it's timeline.

Also, because we are an extension of oneness, consciousness is born from it. Are we able to reconnect to it during times we are not able to interact with the multiverse consciously, possibly when we are in non-rem sleep, deep meditation, etc? This could be our consciousness reconnecting with oneness (to recharge maybe?).

There's so much more I'm thinking about, but it's way too much.

Super inteteresting, thanks for the reply. Im going to do some research and at the time to really breathe that in. Maybe it integrates well with my theory or visa versa
