Hi to All. I'm a Newbie in all of this, but I seem to be led a fairly clear way towards a ZEN-ish no-goal. What I am investigating is the term or what behind the state of Consciousness. We all assume we know what consciousness is because we live it. But there are a lot of sources that say that consciousness is not just a quality but a quantity, meaning it can be accumulated or squandered. The accumulation of consciousness can lead to great 'miracles' like moving the stones of pyramids in Egypt, etc. I'm mot postulating anything, but I am seriously inquiring as to the depth of the topic. If consciousness is a cosmic power, like electromagnetism or gravity, the prohpecies around 2012 get a different flavor for me. Anybody interested in furthering this topic? Please contribute, greetz, Heinz.
