Theoretical: The Unity of Consciousness Experience & Current Physical Theory by Elizabeth A. Rauscher, Ph.D.
We in the western scientific culture have just begun, in mass, to explore our inner cosmos. Inner exploration has been an intellectual activity in the relatively recent past, has been associated with psychotherapy. Now inner exploration is beginning to enter the domain of emotional and spiritual development as well. Certainly the nature of our inner being, the nature and structure of our consciousness, shapes and determines our concept of reality. This realization is having a vast impact on the world societies and us, as individuals. One manner in which we internally organize the mental, emotional and spiritual information we receive is by mental system of concepts or categories of information and their causal relations. We address the fundamental nature of conscious perception and how we comprehend existence. Techniques such as yoga, meditation, and processes of spiritual awakening have opened the horizons to the consideration of the attributes of the consciousness. There also appear to be clues as to the nature of consciousness in the structure of physical theory. In fact, the co-called internal journey and external validation system of science may be leading us onto a similar path of knowing. In this paper, we explore some of the basis of the structure and representations of human thought and thought processes. If we can better understand the relationship between our inner thinking, feeling modes on the external world and our universal connections, we will be able to better move to world peace, personal peace and freedom in time.
